Cinematic introduction to the lore of the Warhammer 40,000 universe (extended)
A cinematic introduction to the Warhammer 40K universe, created using clips from various awesome Games Workshop games and videos.
Hopefully it gives a flavour of the Universe to get more people more interested, gives an overview of the factions, and lets you see the aesthetic (Grim. Dark. Grimdarkness). Once you find something interesting, I suggesting looking for it on wh40k.lexicanu....
I also have another version, without the latest advances in the lore, for those of you interested in pre-999.M41 • Cinematic introduction... It also has added information about Space Hulks and the Dark Angels, that isn't included in this video.

You're welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Well done! It must have taken a lot of editing and scouring of for footage to put this together. 40K is a lot to understand all at once, way to make it easy for new fans and spread the awesomeness

Really glad you enjoyed it. I realized there are so many cool cinematics out there that most people won't see, and that they could be wrapped together into a (kind of) coherent order. 40k is a big universe, I'm glad i can give a sample of it.
Well done. We really appreciate the hard work done here.

Awesome. When I get a chance I’ll finish the whole video.
appreciate it so much ♡
Now that I had time to watch it fully... Wow! Impressive work! Thanks a lot for this video. I am wondering how poor Cavill is going to manage to introduce the Orks without it... breaking a bit of the immersion. Every other faction makes a lot of sense within the setting, but the orks seem to be there for the fun and giggles and the explanation for their technology actually working is fun in-game, but in a streaming series it would look out of place. They are much needed sort of comic relief in the ultra-grim-superüberdark background, but I really don't see them fitting into a series that was taken seriously. Actually, I don't know how they are going to manage to do a series that is taken seriously.

Thank you, that's very much appreciated! Orks can be scary - something like Helsreach, Rynn's World, or Survivor. Show them as the super tough alien that can be shot several times and still rip your arm off
Will everyone learn to say "the crossing of Cadia"? Cadia NEVER fell! It's a joke among surviving Cadians that "you're more useless than Abbadon, who tried to conquer Cadia for TEN THOUSAND YEARS and in the end had to break the planet because its people were unconquerable" (I just made this up, but holy shit, don't go around saying Cadia "fell", dammit! That's giving too much credit to Abbadon).

Ha! I'd still stay Cadia fell, it was just a very costly fall. It's no longer useable by anyone - at least the Cadians were able to deny the enemy from using it. Maybe I should say that Cadia shattered into lots of pieces :p

@@thebladesaurus2001 Yeah, if anything it's the "shattering" of Cadia. "Fall", my ass. It never fell.
From which games are the videos about Necrons, Eldar and Orcs?

Necrons are from Battlefleet Gothic Armada 2 (BFGA2), Eldar are from BFGA2 and a Warhammer community trailer, Orks are from BFGA1 and BFGA2.
I plan on diving into these books soon...will this video spoil some of that?

They shouldn't - the video does big, broad strokes. I can only think of two 'spoilers' and those are pretty big events that are well known.
