When I ran a lot of 40k roleplaying games it was pivotal to the players understanding is that they're part of a large, heavily wounded, old biological organism that has to be wrangled with no finesse at all. Just repeated beatings until its angry enough to fight again another day and spitefully pointed at what it needs to kill. No one cares about your character, if they live, die, succeed or fail it matters very little in the scheme of things because somewhere 25million guardsmen are being raised, loaded and sent on an invasion fleet to tear the arsehole apart of something they hate and don't care for niceties. Introspection and Philosophy for how it got to be this bad aren't something you have the luxury for, you need to secure your shit, wear your helmet and make sure there's plenty ammo because something else just crapped the bed and needs killing right now.

The Grey Knights are so secretive, they didn't even make it in this video. 10/10

The Imperium already operates like the Holy Roman Empire in space. It only looks united when you focus on Imperial forces fighting aliens, because it takes a common enemy to get peers of the Imperium on the same page. Just look at the Badab War.

They favor long range and excel in hit and run tactics but as where the wood elves are hard isolationists and it would probably be better for the taus interest if they laid low and didn't attract the attention of the bigger forces of the galaxy but instead they remain imperialists pushing the borders of the other factions and spreading as much as they can.

The 40k universe blossoms as soon as you shift the focus away from the Astartes.

If the Imperium didn't take up most of the setting, in both the meta and literal sense, I wouldn't hate it as much. I lament the fact that GW is stuck in the feedback loop of "focus on Space Marines/Imperium because they make more money because GW focuses on Space Marines/Imperium" to the detriment of other facets of 40K and there's nothing more disappointing than hearing about a interesting xeno species or potential non-Chaos/non-Imperium aligned human factions that the Imperium of Man destroyed. If the Imperium of Man was like a third the size it currently is (with access to most Space Marine chapters, Custodians, Tempestus Scions ect ect) and the rest was made up of a myraid of diverse Balkanized states, then I would love the Imperium of Man instead of fucking hating it. Also, this doesn't really have much to do with the video, but imagine if Jaghatai Khan was one of the Primarchs to return only for him to not think his Father's empire is worth saving so he calls his sons back to Chogoris and establishes his own Khaganate, becoming an entirely new faction made up of White Scar space marines supported by Mongolian flavored auxiliaries? That would be fucking awesome, I think.

I would like to see the Imperium split along Rogue Trader's morality. Dogmatic - The Inquisition, Ecclesiarchy and Mars preserving the old intolerance and largely being proven right. Iconoclast - Guilliman reforming the Imperium to be rational, pragmatic, and even ethical, but with unintended consequences. Heretical - The Black Legion simultaneously conquering Imperial worlds and being more proactive defenders against xenos.

"It's the ONE THING keeping humanity alive." That's absurd, though. The human race was, despite all rumors to the contrary, never in danger of extinction during the Age of Strife. In fact, many gigantic human empires were experiencing a kind of Renaissance before the Imperium arrived. It was the Imperium's actions that led to 1) the Horus Heresy, 2) an ascendent Chaos capable of splitting the galaxy in half, and 3), as a result of 1), the arrival of the Tyranid in our galaxy. The Imperium is the guy that barges into your house, holds your family hostage, and demands you thank them for protecting you from a random, different psychopath that also wants to enslave you.

The Imperium being the one thing keeping mankind alive in 40k is an idea I have mixed feelings on On one hand, it shows just how dystopian and grimdark 40k is for humans and noone in their right mind would use it as a basis for anything in real life On the other hand the statement is one misinterpretation away from making the imperium seem good (because justifiable = good to some people from what I've seen) and some people might use the fictional setting with fictional demons and magic as some roundabout justification for their racism, sexism, or any other -isms, after all if people can still unironically call themselves Nazis and think they're in the right then I would put past some idiots from getting the wrong idea and imposing it on others It also discredits all the other species as it can also be twisted into the idea that the Xenos' cruelties driven by survival aren't justified but the Imperium's cruelties driven by survival somehow are which just feels dishartening

The homebrew possibility for the imperial guard is truly limitless. For my example I've been working on a planetary naval regiment with Warships, Sailors and Marine infantry units. Mostly inspired by my naval service (2010-2014) when I discovered Warhammer 40k on board USS Essex and USS Bonhomme Richard while serving along side the 31st MEU. Ran into a bit of a stumbling block when I tried to convert the USS Bonhomme Richard LHD 6 (844 foot or 257m long if your country doesn't have its flag on the moon) to games workshop size and realized that wouldn't be physically feasible to build much less transport a fucking sea titan compared to a in world warlord titan at 108 feet or 33m being roughly 7 times longer as wide as 4 laid out sideways and at least as tall as 2. Much less how much fire power would be appropriate for a vessel that sized in 40k..... Battle ships aren't as long or wide but they carried guns larger than any ground emplacement ever could hope to with the exception of Thomas the trains very angry German cousin Gustav.....

Maybe it has nothing to do with your comment, but I think this, Warhammer 40k, is quite complex. From what I've seen, in the fandom there are only two extremes: Those who take it seriously and those who don't take it seriously. There is no middle ground. At least it doesn't seem like it. On the side of those who do not take it seriously, it is often pointed out the satirical content of the first editions and the exaggerated style of the game. On the side of those who take it seriously, there is a lot of talk about the power of the setting to tell very deep stories, usually citing the most accepted BL novels and the pieces of the most famous lore. I think we are facing a case of "blind men and the elephant." No one is absolutely right, only a part of it. Taking 40k seriously can be harmful, especially considering that the story is in the hands of a company of dubious morality. Furthermore, given the chaotic nature of lore, no matter how much you try to improve, there will always be some problem, whether it be continuity or consistency. But not taking 40k seriously is not the best idea either, because although it may not seem like it, lore is the main reason for the success of 40k. People don't spend $50 to $60 on plastic just because it looks cool, no, they spend it on buying "Magneus Calgar, captain of the Ultramarines chapter or Horus Lupercal, the Warmaster, the Traitor, etc." Of course there will always be exceptions, but most of the content on 40k KZread is about lore or debates about it. Just look at this beautiful channel, if you find a video on how to paint your figures, your member will grow 5 centimeters.

I’m a huge Halo fan and realizing that The Imperium was basically The Covenant (especially from the Tau perspective) made me come around to thinking it’s right that they’re the “main character” of 40k

Honestly this is the best take I’ve seen when it comes the imperium of man I’ve seen way to many people aspiring the imperium way to much in a good vs evil way that this is really refreshing and a good reminder why i adore the imperium in the first place

17:14 I just wanted to say that I appreciate the Frieren near the end of the video. 💜

This is one of the things, I love to take the whole thing seriously in some ways, and it's also great to take it lightly. Being able to enjoy the whole range of the hobby is one of the best parts of it.

The ending of rogue trader I got the other day is an interesting take on the future of the Imperium Basically I have a C’tan shard under my control and made my own nascent imperium within the expanse and used my pet C’tan to obliterate my enemies and, when the Imperium came in numbers too great to stop, my son the Star god just shifted the entire expanse into a new dimensional plane making it impossible for the Imperium to come get us.

6:00 exactly why I LOVE the guard, so much modeling possibility. No 2 of my guardsmen look alike.

"Dark Angels are the best Space Marines of aesthetic alone and its not even close" And like that, I can now forgive the ending bit from the Morathi video lmao

Well done! Also, the faction that got me into 40k...in 1987...was the Eldar. Where I remain to this day.

I really like this video, the Imperium is an awesome faction and more positivity in Warhammer is always a good thing.

Having back and forth nerd talk between friends is the best, even more so if you are able to back it up with table top dice rolls that bring on the glory. Me and a close friend of mine would always ensure that my army HQ and his would close in on one another and take part in glorious melee combat. I either played a necron overlord or Ork warboss and he would play a blood angels smash captain. Neither of us would really claim victory by slaying the other but those dice rolls were still spectacular.

i like that you use pictures of the tabletop models. Thanks for another banger.

You did a really good job with this video. Not that its all that different from your usual quality, but I'm impressed that you managed to keep the fear from your voice doing the dialogue with a commissar's bolter pointed at your head.

love your channel. you bring something really unique to the table. subbed

Damn. Tried to be first but I was on console so I couldn’t comment.

Tau trying to be diplomatic with any of the 40k races will never not end hilariously at the Tau's expense

What id love to see is a schism in the mechanics with cawl actually progressing the tech they have closer to dark age tech (maybe a new mechanicus robot infantry unit?) But thats more because id love to see the men of iron or something close to what they looked like.

I cant believe you would say something so controversial, yet so brave.

>Checks title >Checks date Wait, this ain't April 1st

I can't think of a more metal sentence than "COME! SHOW ME WHAT PASSES FOR FURY AMONG YOUR MISBEGOTTEN KIND"

The Imperium inspires me. The glory, the sacrifice, the tragedy, the refusal to ever give up no matter how bad things ever get, the faith and dedication, its my muse. I love them.

The imperium already basically operates as a feudal empire, so a Crusader kings style game where you are playing as imperial nobility while having to juggle the threats of chaos and xenos would be so cool

The inquisition got him.

I really do like the Tau, even my favorite, awesome stuff and good thinking (Most of the time) but when I see almost anything related to the Imperium of Man, I can't help but think, damn that looks cool as hell

Tactical Dark angels are my absolute favorite and it crushed me when I learned that on the table they focus primarily on bikebros and terminators.

aesthetically i love tau things, excluding the tau themselves. bro brought gundams to go against walking cathedrals. also the tau with the farside enclave have huge potential to become the most technologically advance race in 40k if they continue to exist long enough. they small but they pack a punch.

Even the knife ears lover knows The Imperium greatness

"But deep down in our heart, we all know which faction got us into this hobby..." Yeah, the lizardmen. You don't know me warmblood.

The Imperium got me at Space Mongolians. Then I saw Khorne and I was like “this is my faction”

If you can't do a brutal takedown of something you love, you don't love it as much as you think.

For right now, i'm team Trazyn; but i got into the hobby through the black templars. Now if only Imotekh can become the Settra expy we all know him to be.

Honestly, the Imperium is one of the best pieces of satire I've seen in my life. Its many ills are each, individually, the roots of our suffering in the real world, but combine them together in a world that, like you said, gets to be not real (yay), and it combines into comically evil in the best of ways (while not losing its satirical core).

11:05 na man who needs xenos when you have 10000 nuclear warheads, a resource rich solar system and accidentally pressed "We must ward off those who would threaten us." for first contact in Stellaris

For The Emperor Brothers 🔥

As a Tyranid fan I like the Imperium because them's good eatin'.

There is only one part of this I take genuine exception to, and that is that Catachan wouldn't be a Liftocracy with tie-breakers decided on by notches on their huge knives

I really loathe how GW changed the presentation of the IoM from "the least worst option," to "the utilitarian heroes."

Honestly the one thing you have to admire about the imperial is how willing they are to throw themselves into the grinder in order to get a foothold in the galaxy.🐱

nope. imperium sucks.

If they didn't want people to cheer for the neo-crusaders in space, they probably shouldn't have made Hell real.

The imperium is just the trolley problem on repeat with a very obvious extinction or survival option being far too often portrayed as evil.

This is an excellent phrase that I'm most definitely stealing. It applies to most things the imperium does. They are justified because they have no alternative and they are good because the end goal they are achieving is the survival of mankind. Besides the cases of grim derp writing, which is writing that has a more logicl alternative that isn't being used to make a point of how grim and dark the story is. An example of this is imperial navy ships loading kilotone shells by slaves pulling chains insted of inventing pistons which is a literal steam age technology. There is examples of such grim derp writing from time to time.

I also want say that the uniform for the guard is actually not inspired by Starship Troopers. Many elements of the lore are, but the iconic look came from the movie way after 40k and the Cadian look was already a thing.

The imperiums attitude towards xenos is getting better and better over time, it's really only the high lords of terra that are light years from danger but still scared xenos will get them , most other factions will ignore them if violence is unnecessary but sometimes xenos help the imperium and vice versa

Thank you content creator, you are the Naggarothi soldier being stepped on by Morathi while I look on in wonder, experiencing this hobby while I watch with silent judgement. Halo Lore again when? The Grunt Rebellion? The Taming of the Hunters?

I’m gonna get some more Halo stuff out relatively soonish. Thinking ODSTs or SPARTANs, though ONI and individual races in Halo would be fun videos to make too so idk at the moment what’s coming.

@pancreasnowork9939 both are good, ODST before Spartans would feel more fluid to mention Buck and highlight the Special Forces from the Black Ops specialty of the Spartans. Regardless it would still be better than John Spartan series that lacked the flair of the novels and games.

From a fictional perspective: The Imperium of Man is basically metal as fuck. That's why people like the Imperium. Also the Tau is jpop in this analogy, just in case you wanted a reason to shit on xenos

"Imagine 40k without any of the NonImperial Factions no xenos no chaos" The Imperium: (collectively has an orgasm)

Looks like the Inquisition finally had him.

The imperium sucks in every way possible and I love it so much. I’m in the boat of taking 40K pretty serious. But while the over all faction are all evil. I find the personal stories in them to be the best. My favorite is Gaunt and his ghosts. The imperium like you said. Just tickles my brian in all the right ways. The armor, the stories, the factions, the themes. I love the imperium of man.

11:39 i dont wanna start a war, but we all know that after posting this, they posted yet another artwork of Guilliman being basically Jesus, and his Ultramarines being paragons of all that is good in humanity. At this point it feels like the Imperium is unironically just good 70% of the time and then grimderp to overcompensate the other 30%

I got interested in 40k because those little parchment ribbons you see affixed to uniforms with wax are the coolest little detail in the world

Bolter goes BRRRRRTTTTTT!

Holy shit, Pancreas speaking in favor of the filthy mon-keigh? Between this and CM Punk back in the WWE, hell truly has frozen over.

While I do think there are a lot of writing problems with the Imperium, not least of which the increasing attempt to have their cake and eat it too by being both this absolutely horrible dystopian nightmare and also the defacto protagonist (and thus, in the eyes of many, heroic) faction... I agree with every point you make. Mind you, I still think it would be both in-character and funny as hell that if the Imperium discovered the Halo Rings from Halo, they would immediately turn them on to wipe out all non-human life because they think that being designed by ancient humanity makes them anti-xeno specifically. And then being annihilated to the last because "all life in the galaxy" means ALL life in the galaxy, including humans. That's the kind of fanatical stupidity the Imperium represents to me.

"Rooting for the bad guys is a lot more fun in a setting where everyone is a bad guy." Did you just describe Geopolitics?

Ok so when you were mentioning about Homebrewing I was straight up thinking about this Guard Regiment Idea I have where they are just Bretonians so they are based around using Cavalry as their main force with horses dressed in elegant regalia with emblems from a myriad of Noble Families and bright colors, with peaseant Infantry that are just conscripts with a shitty Lasgun, and a few Bullgryns that work as Men-at-Arms who have really cool Ogryn sized plate armor with Medieval looking Melee weapons and massive kite shields that have the iconography of the Nobles they serve. Basically just a Feudal World that fields a fairly competent military just because they throw bodies of peasants for the enemy to chew while the nobles use high tech to strike at the enemy from horseback and charge with their Bullgryn Men-at-Arms.

Like seriously no matter who you are eldar simp, tyranid enjoyer (me), chaos apologist, we can all sit together and agree that everything and everyone in this wonderfully depraved setting is dumb in the absolute coolest way possible

Dear god, the inqusition got to him
