Most races are probably best used in some other department than intergalactic war
If I recall correctly, and I have no idea where it was mentioned so it might be BS, but the weird Hrud retcon between then being Space Skavens vs Horrifying Space Time Jellyfishes was explained in-universe. Basically after they were (supposedly) beaten and dissapeared from the Galaxy, the Inquisition thought that implying that any race could have a better control over space time than humanity was impossible, and so they instead censored it and replaced the stories about them, saying they were just rat people. Which if true is both a fun little nod to the retcon and something that's very Imperium.

The good news, is a new one Vashtorr was added. He’s pretty good antagonist.
One of the funnier minor xenos species I remember reading about are these things called the Barghesi who are described as being so nightmarishly ultraviolent instead of spending the resources to wipe them out the Imperium has found it more effective to just cordon off their region of space. The reason for this being apparently due to their violent tendencies they only ever unite for ~10 or so years before inevitably killing each other in a civil war. What's even funnier though was apparently a Tyranid hive fleet was heading for them and the thought of Tyranids with ultraviolent Barghesi DNA scared the Imperium so fucking much they completely battened down the hatches and dedicated multiple fleets and space marine chapters in order to *protect* the xenos from being consumed.
Barabus Dantioch is one of my all time favorite space marines in all of warhammer lore! He was such a interesting and refreshing character in the books. There are a lot of headstrong, rush in, fight now ask questions later guys. So it was refreshing to read about a space marine, who is amazingly also a loyalist iron warrior somehow, have an almost philosophical and patient approach to the work he was doing with the pharos. I don't think there is another space marine that could have done what he did. He was a genius. And the bro love story with dantioch and pollux is the single saddest moment I have read in all the lore. Reading about pollux thoughts and grief at dantiochs death brought a very real tear to my eye because in a world with so much violence, these two transhuman super soldier beings were still able to care about their friendship that much! It's just a unique piece of warhammer
Only just started the horus heresy series, but the megarachnids that were introduced in the first book sound absolutly terrifying. shame there arnt as much emphasis on other xenos species in 40k but i guess that the great crusade woulda wiped out so many of them in the first place.
Fun fact: the Tau have a dozen types of xenos in their confederation but a grand total of 2 on the table top.
I love how despite 40k has a huge galactic setting it only really focuses on 5 xenos

As always, fantastic video, I like how personal it feels , it feels like a friend telling me about 40k, what about a video about lesser known warp entities that are not chaos related or at least related to the 4 chaos gods and vashtorr
Thyrrus - they have fun combinations of orks and harlequins behavior. + they are colourful AF ( which always looks cool on table)
The xenos which attacked necromunda before it was called that always intrigued me. I think they were after the special warp gates in that area? And when the warp gates were blown up they just left. Always assumed they were necrons but no one really knows for sure.

I’ve always heard that the “xenos”. That attacked necromunda were actually jsut demons, but since no one at the time knew what a demon was, they just thought they were wierd xenos. That explains their massive numbers, their almost complete disregard for their own lives, and the fact that they immediately disappeared when the warp gates were destroyed.

The Gabagool would probably be better classified as mutants than xenos, but they are interesting.
Your choice of BGM is devious and brilliant. Great content!
Really enjoyed this. Would love if you released some videos of either the races, or chapters, and then followed it up with a video about the weird shit that they've got that didn't make the original video
That ending. Brilliant. I love your editing and overall style of presentation. Just one thing: there's a difference between "who" and "whom" and you're definitely overusing the latter.
no joke i cant explain the excitement i get when i see a new vid gets posted
Big difference is that your hard cut didn’t make me feel homicidal rage, so thanks for that!

Rogal Dorn being silly again
Games Workshop really needed to tighten up their plotlines, because the ridiculous amount of randos and one-shot appearances is totally out of hand. It's bad enough that they originally said humanity controlled like 2 million worlds before the Dark Times, but now they are clearly running out of silly alien world names and species, not to mention that in the new Lion book (spoiler) there's a space marine named Zabriel (sp?) because they ran out Latin Bible Greek sounding names and they changed the G in Gabriel to a Z. It's their own fault. I love them all dearly, like the mass murdering children I never had, but it's their fault.
Honestly a 3 unknown swords video would be very fun to watch
Lost it at "God tier Schnoz"...too damn funny.
Rak'gol are the best, them and the yu'vath would make 1 awesome video.
There is as xeno species that is aperantly so dangerous that there is an entiere iron hands chapter tasked to contain them. There is barely any lore about them exept their name ,the Baghesi , that theire being contained by the iron lords and that Hive fleet Kracken wants to eat them or smth.
HRUD MY BELOVED!!!!!!
Good vid 👍🏻
In the highly unlikely scenario we get any new lore related to the hurud or heaven forbid models and rules for them. One Idea I always liked for how to implant time powers is time clones. Basically you set down a model and every movement phase it doesn't actually move it spawns a new model from itself that moves instead. And if you kill the first model all the other models it spawned die too.
The Skaven shaped Hrud teaser which was never touched upon again, is from the 3rd edition rulebook. However, a short story from the tyranid expansion to 40.000 Epic makes it clear, that in the 2nd edition era, tyranids were thought of as 40k's Skaven equivalent. We hate the meat-things. We must hunt them, quick-quick.
I like the maggot men and their weird creations

Regarding the Hrud: It is also unclear if the aging occurs in a way that simulates a controlled environment, as in aging in the current situation at the time of exposure. It is possible and probable Dantioch would not be as bad off if he naturally aged 3000 years. It is likely the aging takes place without taking into account exercise and nutrition over the same period of time resulting in atrophy and malnutrition.
I would honestly like to hear about all the lesser known alien species
The irony of the unseen is that they can't be psykers properly but humanity, which hates psykers to a pretty high degree, said "YOU AIN'T HUMAN ENOUGH SUCKER!"
The original ratmen Hrud had way more potential because they relied on technology than the giant bendy insect monsters with tons of powers that don't transfer well to the game are pretty much impossible to implement as an army.
Tau's other allied races next in the future pls
Votaan also show up in a Cain Book but it's the Demiurge Votaan.

I have a question, do blade clashes have any sense in 40k. For exaple: 9th edition trailer "Hyperphase vs power sword"
More rare races videos. They fun
The Hrud are downright one of my favourite races in 40k solely because how unique they are. For one, they seem to be pacifist and have an unspoken non-agression pact with humanity, where a planet might be a place of Hrud and Humans coexisting as Hrud just live underground, teleport unseen between planets, their corru[pted presence is burried deep and they just use some addicted hobos on the lower hive levels to act as lookouts. Whats intresting is that the Hrud can use their time powers to make people addicted to it, effectively turning some homeless and mutants to informants, sentries and scouts. This influence makes humans look aged, so an old poor man in an underhive for sure is serving the Hrud Burrow under the city. My theory is that this ability is an effect of shaping the subject to exist in various times of his life at once - his stomack full, his bones young, his eyes sharp and so on, with the effect only working near Hrud which reapply it and This is also intresting in that Hrud are stated to be one of the most numberous races in the Galaxy, next to the big 3 of Humans, Orks and Nids. We can see it in the lore where the rare Hrud migration just has them mass-migrate to a planet to congregate in such numbers that there is no space in the tunnels and millions flood unto the surface just to ACCIDENTALLY Invade it. Hruds absolutely have the potencial to become a mayor power in the Milky Way without intrest to actually do it. And I have a theory that some people share - I think they are Eldar Beastmen. We have the Mandrakes which show Eldar are absolutely cappable of genetic divergence, Hrud technology is very corruptive which seems like a more powerful version of the eldar wraithbone machinery which chitters into a non-eldar mind as whispers turning one insane, their ability to teleport without issues smells Webway-y and we did not see what long-term chaos influence does to an eldar population. So I ust think they are descendants of Eldar who either tried to get back in time, fallen to chaos or sold out to Papa Nurgle. And the best part is that we have a chance that we will see Hrud models in the game. Hrud are the only other mayor species in the galaxy that the Genestealers like to infect solely because their ability to teleport to human worlds. Hrud Brood Brothers and hybrids might be something that might give the Cults some solely needed Marine killers and their corrupted teleports might open up rules for genestealer cults to take more races as brood brothers (We pretty much know Mechanicus is coming for the Rusted Cog instead of IG). I just want Genestealer Eldar and Hrud, damnit.

@@leonidaspereirafilho499 Old Codexes about the Crismson Fists almost getting annihilated by a Hrud Migration, the Xenology book, snippets from the Genestealer Codex and Hrud mentations across the 40k RPGs. Hrud are obscure by principle so a lot what I said ia composite picture from a lot of sources and not entirely accurate. Think Votann Leagues before their rework.

3 'wierd tricks' to getting to 50k subs using 40k lore
2:16 from one Space Dwarf simp to another I see no problem with this (bring back space Skaven YOU COWARDS)
I think the ur ghul also have like an inbuilt genetic fear of the drukhari which is funny and scary
Fun fact in the book, "Kill Team" a bunch of Skaven Hrud were seen just chilling in a Bar full with T'au alien auxularies. Meaning that you can convert Skaven models for your T'au army and be 100% lore accurate. Also, the idea that some xenologists confused one xenos species for another even tho said species look nothing alike is straight up cannon. One guy named Camargo in particular confused the Galgs (a tentacle covered xenos) with a bunch of humanoid frogs. Probably because he saw a bunch of Tau auxularies together and mixed up their names.
