[arc-misadventures]

Vtuber: would Jaune give the other vtubers a rundown on the 40k universe like how Bricky does? And if he does, would he be a Tech Priest or some other persona?

The VTuber: There is Only an Excessive Amount of Styrene

Errant stopped as he look at the ask he had just received. It was a simple question in, and of itself. But, it was in essence an impossible task to complete. The question:

~~~~~~

Penguwithagun: Could you give us all a run done on, Warhammer 40000?

~~~~~~

ErrantryPaladin: Uhhh... No...

ErrantryPaladin: Could I give you a synopsis on, Warhammer 40k? Kinda...?

ErrantryPaladin: No...?

ErrantryPaladin: Okay look... Warhammer 40k's lore is very, very in depth. It's a lore that is ever expanding, and ever changing... You want me to explain the game itself, I can explain that in like... minute, two minutes tops. But, the lore? No way buddy.

~~~~~~

Icywill'o'wisp: Can you explain it then? The game?

~~~~~~

ErrantryPaladin: ...

ErrantryPaladin: Alright...

ErrantryPaladin: Warhammer 40000 is a tabletop board game where you build, and paint models of a various factions, and races of your choosing to fight against, and with fellow players who are do the exact same thing.

ErrantryPaladin: That's basically it; It's a board game, where you take these plastic model kits, build them however you want them, paint them however you want to, and pit your armies against fellow players who are doing the exact same thing.

ErrantryPaladin: You don't even have to play the game, I don't. I just build, and paint the models. I paint, Space Marines of the, Crimson Fist Chapter, and when the, Primaris Marines came out, I started building a, Blood Raven army. I also built a custom army of, Imperial Guard, a Goff, Ork army, and a slew of random models I bought, and painted because I thought they would be fun.

ErrantryPaladin: There you go, that's a brief synopsis of the hobby itself.

ErrantryPaladin: That, and it's an expensive hobby. A really expensive hobby...

ErrantryPaladin: Would you like to learn about the lore now?

~~~~~~

Penguwithagun: Yes

Kittubitchu: yes

Impregnatemedaddy: Just keep talking love.

~~~~~~

ErrantryPaladin: Haa...

ErrantryPaladin: Okay...

Errant pressed a button, and changed his usual handsome white skinned, with blond haired, Huntsmen face to that of a pale blue skinned cyborg, whose face was hidden by biomechanical eyes that peered soullessly at the camera. It spoke with a synthesized voice as it answered chats inquiry.

ErrantryPaladin: So you want know the lore of the, Warhammer 40000 universe do you?

ErrantryPaladin: Where do you wish to begin? There are many place where we can begin: There are the many events of forty first millennia, or the events of the forty second millennia? Pre, and post, Fall of Cadia to put it simply?

ErrantryPaladin: Cadia? Are you curious about, Cadia? Do you wish to learn about the significance of, Cadia? Or, did you learn why, and how it was destroyed?

ErrantryPaladin: How? It was destroyed during, Abaddon the Despoilers thirteenth, Black Crusade. It was to make way for his, Chaos invasion into the materium from the, Eye of Terror.

ErrantryPaladin: Who is, Abbadon? And, what is the, Eye of Terror?

ErrantryPaladin: Abbadon is the self proclaimed, Warmaster who seeks to destroy the, Imperium of Man, and slay the, Corpse Emperor in the name of his, Dark Gods.

ErrantryPaladin: The Eye of Terror is a ripe in the fabric of the world between the materim realm that allows easy access in, and out of the, Warp.

ErrantryPaladin: What is the, Warp? The Warp if an eldritch nightmare place where your very thoughts subconscious, or unconsciously effects the realm. It is a place of nightmares, and demons all in service of their eldritch gods, The Chaos Gods. Being that seek to render their influence, and destroy the material realm for their own machinations.

ErrantryPaladin: Where did the, Eye of Terror come from? The Eye of Terror was formed by the creation of one of the, Chaos Gods; Slaanesh, the Prince of Pain, and Pleasure. It resulted from the unheeded debaucheries commit by the xeno race called, The Eldar. The birth of, Slaanesh resulted in the total destruction of the, Eldar Empire, the fractioning of their peoples survivors into two separate factions, and the result that all, Eldar souls being consumed upon death by, Slaanesh, unless special jewels called, Soul Stones are used to save the souls of dead, Eldar from being consumed by, Slaanesh.

ErrantryPaladin: Who are the, Eldar? The Eldar are among the oldest races in, Warhammer 40000. They were created by a species called, The Old Ones in order to fight in a war against a xeno race called the, Necron's. They used materials called, Wrath Bone, and their species natural psionic powers to fight against the undying metallic creatures the, Necron's. An event called, The War in Heaven.

ErrantryPaladin: Do you wish to learn more?

Errant watched his chat feed ask dozen, upon dozens of questions, all leading to one question, and then to another.

Errant pressed a key, and his VTuber model to his usual human model.

ErrantryPaladin: You see chat this is why I cannot do a lore dep dive because there is no end to this place!

ErrantryPaladin: I mean, I've seen you people asking me, who, and what the Blood Ravens, and Crimson Fists are. So, you want to know who the, Space Marines are?

ErrantryPaladin: Shall I tell you how they were made? The original nineteen chapters? The traitor, and loyal legions? The unique traits of each chapter? The first founding, second founding... I think there's at least sixteen founding's...? I need to check this...

ErrantryPaladin: Oh... evidently there have been twenty six foundlings!

ErrantryPaladin: See?! There's some stuff I didn't even know about!

ErrantryPaladin: I understand you're all interested in learning about the lore of, Warhammer 40000. But, I can spend days here just talking about one factions, sub-factions, sub-factions. Days talking about the events of on war! And, don't even get me started on any of the book series! The rule books! The freaking codex's!

ErrantryPaladin: So as much as you want me to explain the deep lore of, Warhammer 40000. There's too much for me to explain. Go on, Youtube, and you'll find several channels who's whole shtick is about explain aspects of, 40ks lore.

ErrantryPaladin: So with that being said, is there any more questions you want to ask?

Errant hoped that this would be the end of this never ending conversation, but his chat had to ask that one question that sent him over the edge.

~~~~~~

Gekkowithapecker: What are your thoughts on female custodies?

~~~~~~

ErrantryPaladin: ...

ErrantryPaladin: GET THAT DEI, SLAANESHIAN, TZEENTCH BULLSHIT OUT OF MY GAME BEFORE IT DESTROYS EVERYTHING?!!!

Yeah, Errantry didin't much care for it.

*Listening to Adeptus Rediculous book review on false gods*

Bricky hits the big problem on the head.

Horus falls way to fast.

Grease monkey Erebus wins him over to easily with false visions.

It reminds me of the old lore when Horus corrupted Fulgrim after a three hour talk.... I am not shitting, this was canon when I was a kid!

Horus should of struggled more with his fall from grace, but by book three, he evil now.

[cursed-40k-thoughts]

Do you have any 40k channels you recommend and channels you recommend to avoid? (aka the assholes). I watch only Bricky (recap videos especially to first get in) and a few painting channels but I wanted to follow a few more

I don’t frequently engage with 40k YouTube, so my knowledge on it is (mercifully) limited.

Recommend a lot: Oculus Imperia (HIGH quality lore done in character)

Recommend: Snipe & Wib (hobby-based content), Arbitor Ian (40k generalist), 40k Theories (what it sounds like), PancreasNoWork (humourous generalised lore)

Don’t Recommend: Arch (Nazi), Majorkill (Edgelord Grifter), Border Prince (Total Bigot).

My favorite screenshots from the Season One end credits

We get a break from the chaos for now. Take a break you two grannies!

Run Billy Run! My worst fears have finally come true. Grace, please don’t dismantle him! Please, he has two families that love him. I feel so sorry for Koleda having to see that.

Asaba and Caesar becoming friends? Aww, they are going to make one chaotic friendship. Ben is such a good guy that Bricky, Grassy, and Woody as well as Rina’s Bangboos already trust him. Also, how does Lighter even get love letters? Does he have an address or something?

Bangboo mayhem. Sorry Seth, but those guys will not listen to you.

Anton and Lighter have officially become bros. I’m so happy that they’re friends now.

Lycaon being a good surrogate dad to Ellen. That’s all.

Oh?

More lore about their teacher. And the bad guys really want to kill them.

Okay, these two are not fully human. You can’t just tank an explosion like that and only get static. Either they were created in a lab or they were experimented on because they aren’t normal. If they finally find Carole and whoever perpetrated the Fall of The Old Capital, they better also reveal what these two are.

As a transformers fan I love robots who have divorce drama stretching millions of years but also have a body count in the trillions. Thus it has taken little convincing but I think I shall investigate these undead robots.

In the event of my death I'm Telling. This is your fault. How do I start wading into this mess bc my only encounter with Warhammer was when a very drunk frat guy tried to explain the horus heresy at a party.

Well you are in for a treat then! Robots with marriage/divorce drama, severe mental health issues, and body counts best measured on a planetary scale are our specialty in Chez Necron.

If you want a setting overview before you dive in, Bricky's two part series going over all the factions is quite solid. Long, but hey this has been around since the 80s. (no drunken Horus Heresy rambles*)

First, watch this clip of Trazyn the Infinite, as an amuse bouche before your meal.

As for books, there are two main places I'd start for necrons:

The Infinite and the Divine- the classic starting point for necrons (and 40k in general). Trazyn the Infinite, lord of the Prismatic Galleries, battles against Orikan the Diviner, master chronomancer and prophet. Clash of godlike beings over...what amounts to a magic Rubik's Cube. It's so petty. This fight spans epochs, multiple wars, and one legal case. There's no heterosexual explanation for their dynamic. Also this book has dinosaurs. Some of whom carry shuriken canons.

Now, this book has a ton of 40k stuff. Most major factions make an appearance so there's a very good chance there will be words/things that a new person is unfamiliar with. If that doesn't bother you, awesome! Proceed. Ask me things, I'll explain that an aeldar is just a space elf or whatever. Or watch a lore vid beforehand. However if that is a turn off I'd recommend starting with...

Severed- Novella, so shorter which is nice. Do you like angst? The horrors of immortality? Lord/knight love story? One very silly guy? Then meet Zahndrekh and his loyal bodyguard Obyron as they set out to conquer a planet where the necrons are...wrong. Complicating factors include Obyron's crippling depression, Zahndrekh's asshole ex, and the fact Zahndrekh is insane and believes them all to still be the creatures of flesh and blood they were before a bunch of star gods ate their souls and turned them into robots. Prepare to cry.

After those, I cannot recommend the Twice Dead King duology highly enough. Oltyx, an exiled prince attempts to save his dynasty from destruction while battling his own creeping madness. He's got an adorable crush on his hot best friend. The voices in his head were put there on purpose so its fine. Well most of them were. Everything is fine. I didn't cry multiple times reading these...

Then refer to my reading guide for the good short stories and boom! The wonderful world of gay undead space robots is open before you.

I accept full responsibilities for my actions. If you die I promise to say mostly nice things at your funeral.

*mini rant, but I honestly think the Horus Heresy is one of the worst ways to introduce someone to the 40k world. It's a series with like 70 books! Many of them are bad! You need a flowchart to keep track of the timeline! I know there's some good books and characters, power to all who love the HH, but it is not newbie friendly! Also it only has humans which robs you of some of the best parts of the setting (like...y'know. Necrons). Ease people in, then they can make an informed decision about tackling the mountain of buff space men with daddy issues shooting each other.

[cyareclones]

Will you be sharing any lore about your two new characters? I already adore them and the designs. :>

perhaps soon! im glad you’re interested in them. im sharing ri and makehnarr w my friend bricky so I’ll probably share more about them when we cook some more 😉

[frogblast-the-ventcore]

Bricky's broad overview of 40K lore.

[calchexxis]

So im a big fan of your works and Ennui looks great. I dont know any 40k lore though and Im interested in learning some. Do you have any recommendations for how to do so? ( I looked up warhammer 40k lore on yt and was bombarded with like 20 videos each an hr long with millions of views)

I'm happy to hear you love my work! Sadly, there isn't really a quick way to learn Warhammer 40k lore because, true to space-opera style stories, the lore is just very dense.

I would recommend Bricky's videos on 'Every Single Warhammer Faction' because he does a pretty okay job of explaining all the factions and the scifi world at large, giving a pretty solid shallow overview of the entire universe without doing a crazy loredump.

[kingwithpaintedfingers]

So I was just watching a lore video by Bricky, and he's talking about Vulkan, calls him "a very huggy boy" and I look at the art in the background of the shot and I think to myself "That's definitely Tage's art, right?"

Rogal deserves more hugs. And more emotions.

Some time ago I gave you "sad Dorn", now have "Vulkan giving Dorn a comfort-hug"!

(Come here, good people of Tumblr! Come here and see the worst picture of Rogal Dorn one Warhammer fan-guy on Instagram has ever seen! Be amazed by how he's "feminized" and how he would "never have emotions"!)

[ask-the-scarlet-kingdom-au]

Where do you think Otis is?

patience: it’s actually spelt t h a t, Bricky. But good try! And to the question, none of us know who Otis is. At least not yet

[anaalnathrakhs]

Hey as a fellow Adeptus Mechanicus lover and a professional lore enjoyer I just wanted to share some advice regarding lore. Yes it's a confusing cluster fuck, but that just means you'll never run out of things to learn. If you wanna get into lore I say just pick what interests you most and learn about that. If you're going for the most entry-level videos (highly recommend it) try Adeptus Ridiculous or Bricky's faction summaries. Both are really funny with Ridiculous being also a podcast that can be easily listened to.

After that I then move on to the wikis or videos from Luetin or reading books.

If at any point you see something you don't understand, a seemingly important thing/character, or just some random tid-bit you find interesting feel free to fling yourself down that rabbithole instead.

Trust me it's a lot more fun and a lot less daunting than you think. Besides if you find a certain piece of lore dull go ahead and ignore it no one is forcing to learn about 40k for a grade. Lore in this series being long, fickle, and convoluted is kinda the point and there's no one way to enjoy so just have fun with, and keep following those rabbitholes just keep an eye on the clock because you will get absorbed otherwise.

Thank you for the recs! Most of my knowledge so far comes from whatever info about it my cousin fed me when I was a kid, writing a text analysis about the intro of the mechanicus game for school, and whatever I gather amidst the word salad when I go through r/grimdank, so there's... let's say there's plot holes.

I'm 100% down to read some long fickle convoluted lore, but I don't really want to buy a huge brick of a book and realize I picked a boring one and I'd have liked another type of long fickle convoluted lore better, yknow.

[wattrabbit]

I love 40k, and I love the lore, but bricky said it best when he said something to the effect of "40k lore is super awesome but also written by an edgy 14 year old". I wanna write lore for a custom cult since flavor in narrative kill team is just for fun, but it's hard to also not sound like an edgy 14 year old. Anyways my nurgle cult are all about bugs and eating them due to famine on their home farm planet and one thing lead to another and they see the bugs as saviors sent by nurgle instead of the things that killed all the crops in the first place

[askrobouteguilliman40k]

I think this is part of something Bricky mentioned.

Vtubers are watching Warhammer lore and reacting to it.

Note, the gatekeeper have no problem with the anime girls coming in, just the gays and trans.
