One guy made a short film that is better than a $300 million Hollywood movie. Give him some credit and love and go watch it. EDIT: Forgot to add the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoCcpMW8fSs&t=2s

I think this is the best thing I’ve seen in a very very long time. I couldn’t take my eyes off this. Fucking amazing.

Seven and a half minutes of absolute glory. This guy mopped the floor with every 'official' WH40K CGI that's ever existed.

The Emperor is pleased with the sacrifices made by this guy to bring us this glorious footage!

Weren't Astartes the like, best of the best, the cream of the genome crop? Wasn't Abaddon an Astartes?
Mojodude198
The Inquisition would like to have a word with you...
PopTrogdor
Oh shit, erm, look over there, it's the emperor! *Scarpers*
CompositeArmour
Well yes but actually no. Primarchs are the cream of the crop, then Custodes, then Thunder Warriors, then Primaris, then Astartes.
onlyawfulnamesleft
However, there was rumours in the Great Crusade that Abbadon was actually Horus' clone.
zzzaped
Thunder Warriors were proto Astatres so they should be worse than Astatres right?
CompositeArmour
In terms of strength they were described as being better, but it did come at the cost of long term instability with their implants.
zzzaped
Ah, that makes sense.

In my understanding this is warhammer 40k. Could someone please tell me the lore of it in a nutshel? Tried googeling it but got so confused.

It looks like it was a peice of an old god that was corrupting everyone. Check out this thread: https://reddit.app.link/YzoqWJlwn5

There is a lot but I'll do my best, I'm not expert. The Astartes are superhuman killing machines in a universe 40k years in the furture.

Its like marvel I think, seperate universes and archs. The lore is extensive and deep
LogiosHermes
Go watch Luetin09 and his The Emperor Of Mankind series. Start there, then continue down the rabbit hole.
ZPretorianZ
Check out Luetin09 on YouTube, he has a lot of amazing videos about Warhammer 40K lore, everything from "in a nutshell" to detailed videos

MoriarTheChosen
Too much to quickly summarise but it's brutal military sci-fi at it's core crossed with supernatural elderitch horrors, + weird alien sci fi
MoriarTheChosen
I would recommend checking out Warhammer 40k lore on YouTube, some good videos made for beginners to the lore there

Succumbing to chaos. He was hearing whispers all throughout and then it was made clear he was no longer himself
OlderThanTime
Intel gathering, either through tech interface or psychic powers, both of which can compromise the user if things go wrong (like this case).
EnigmaNL
That is how you deal with potential heresy :)
JamesBluntThatSmartassCunt
This is how you exorcise in 40k.

Can't possess a body if there's no body to possess.

If in doubt add more bolter rounds.

tnorene
Any ideas about the canon history of that psychic sphere? Thing was Epic!
ilikeitilikeitalot
Most likely Umbral. They are a sentient alien species that are psychically/warp sensitive. They are described as black spheres in the lore.
Tentwen
Either something he made or something obscure. Yu'Vath possibly? Maybe just Chaos being Chaos. Can't be Necrons, they hate the warp.
Moofinmahn
Probably a C'tan shard, both pieces of the Void Dragon. When the enemy ship one teleported it brought them to a dead necron world.
NorberttheNutjob
it can't be a c'tan shard because they are EXTREMELY STRONG. the necrons use c'tan shards to power their fcking planetships :/
JamesBluntThatSmartassCunt
The guy says it’s his own creation. It honesty makes me think of an Umbral.
mountainofpuppies
The YouTube comments say it likely is a chaos artefact and that it's likely Not khornate.
Misplacedtesticle
Probs The Emperors children, was lots of talk about “Perfection” which alines with them
johnvictor
Could also be some sort of archeo tech from the golden age or just alien tech as well. With WH40K who knows.
LupusLilium
I suspect after eating another two or three groups of investigators, they'll just nuke the planet and transport anything still solid into a
LupusLilium
sun or something similar.
johnvictor
Depends if the Adeptus Mechanicus gets wind of it and it is alien tech. They do love studying it, especially necron tech.
ShinksAvoHazaar
I don’t play 40k, haven’t read any of the books and don’t know much about it. But I would pay damn good money to have this on Blu-ray.
AimForTheBushes
This^ but a 4K download for free
LordFlashHeart81
Eisenhorn or the Blood Ravens omnibus are great places to start off. Both cover a lot of ground with all the different factions.Ave Impertor
GeneralZain
good news then! if you wanna donate go to his patreon linked in the video's description!
b00sk0r
'Helsreach' by Richard Boylan is another great series on a popular video streaming site - you might want to give that a try.
vahnn
Forget the books. Start here: https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Imperium_of_Man . I recommend reading the intro part at the top, then 1/3
vahnn
do the same for the Astronomicon and Immaterium pages, then read the Xenos, Space Marines, and Psyker pages. Open links in new tabs as 2/3
vahnn
you go and just lose yourself hundreds of pages of some of the greatest sci-fi lore in the history of mankind. 3/3
johnvictor
I recommend if you like more down to terra man in the trenches stories go with Gaunt's Ghosts series or Ciaphas Cain series.
turelhimvampire
Gaunts Ghosts is sci fi Sharpe, Ciaphas Cain is sci fi Blackadder.
JoshHaskins
Look up luetin09 on YouTube. You might finish after coronavirus.
chrissbeful
Dot.
SyntheticReindeer
If you just want to dive in, Eisenhorn is a great book series
Selerox
Eisenhorn is a good introduction the The Imperium itself as well.
MoltarsGhost
Same, I've always been fascinated by WH40K, but my budget forbids it.
hungmung
Same here but the lore is great. There are a number of good YouTube channels that cover the lore in great detail.
johnvictor
Youtube channels for both the lore and tabletop so you know what's going on with it, as well as lore wikis as far as the eye can see.
realscrumpysteve
Since you got book encouragement, recomend starting with Space Wolf it mildly explains abit about the Astartes and how some of them are made
realscrumpysteve
Another decent one is Dante. Less ripping and tearing and more grim dark teenage adventure.
Daeyelle
And it’s just the best cos it’s Vlka Fenryka!
Melonfish
He's not legally able to make any money off it, or the GW solicitors will be summoned in an unholy ritual.
ShinksAvoHazaar
Fair point.
Melonfish
Would be nice though if gw hired him to finish it officially perhaps.
johnvictor
Well this chapter he says is finished and looks like there was a preview for a new one at the end of it.
QuietGiant
They should hire him.
Sipulikeitto
GW is too busy to give the IP to every god damn mobile game firm there is to actually recognize true talent.
Djayy

theclassiest
Definitely give the books a try. There are a TON. Check out the Black Library collection
Lightsmith
I suggest starting with Horus Heresy. First 3-4 books are definitely good.
GeneralBuzzkil
Ive been looking for a good starting point, thank you!
MagosDotarius
Or Eisenhorn. Has elements of most factions within the imperium and some of its inner politics.
MagosDotarius
Thats where I started and now ive been reading nothing but 40k for 2.5 years and own 50 books and have read 65% of the wiki lmao
noig
Horus Heresy is excellent series into wh40k history. If you want more recent, different omnibus collections are good choice.
SharkoutofWata
I’ll be the naysayer here. Don’t start in HH. Marines are bitches in that series instead of the barely human demigods in 40k.
SharkoutofWata
I suggest 15 Hours as the first 40k book. Then a trilogy series. Then when you learn the universe HH, because they are good but too human.
xSlayer666
Keep in mind that the setting of the horus heresy is somewhat different from 40k, another good start is the Eisenhorn trilogy(imho).
SteelStash
Eisenhorn for the win...you can skip Ravenor though.
GeneralBuzzkil
I just wanna get into the story. Its an extensive universe with a lot of books, I just have no idea where to start so Im not lost in lore.
enterusernamehere25
are the books any good?
ProphetChuck
Black Library can be a hit or miss, but Dan Abnett (Eisenhorn, Gaunt's Ghosts) and William King (Space Wolf) are safe bets in my opinion.
Goblor
thanks always wanted to get into it after a friend kept ranting to me about the lore, super facinating
LanceCrossfire
Horus Heresy is really good. Prospero Burns is a fantastic book in its own right, not just for 40k.
johnvictor
Depends on the author and what content appeals to you. I'm more of a fan of regular men besting the odds so read books on normal men.
onlyawfulnamesleft
Anything by Dan Abnett is usually pretty fantastic.
johnvictor
Big fan of Gaunt's Ghosts series.
