Every single Warhammer 40k (WH40k) Faction Explained | Part 1

As one hacker named 4chan put it: "The imperium is like a man hanging from a cliff with one arm and without strength to pull himself back up. He could use his other hand to hold on just a little longer, but he's busy using it to give the finger to all the bastards watching him dangle."

i once heard the best summary for the lore of 40k for the Emperium: "Imagine siding with the Nazis because they are fighting C'thulu"

Not only does “everyone’s the bad guy” make you feel badass, but it also takes away the stress of having to pick the side that has the moral compass so you don’t feel bad when you don’t

Bricky forgot to mention that Eversors are also living bombs. When an Eversor assassin sustains too much damage, they get pumped with an additional cocktail of drugs that turns all their tissue into an explosive compound.

Summary: Star Trek fan: I'd rather not be a red shirt on a ship. Star Wars fan: I'd rather not be a Storm Trooper. 40K fan: I don't want to be here at all.

So to my understanding, this is Warhammer in a nutshell: Everything sucks Everything is evil Everything wants to kill you And everything is really really really fucking cool.

I imagine a dude with a talking sword going "I... already told you... no, you can't take over the mind of my comrades, now let's go, I'll use you to kill some demons"

Bricky makes Sister of Battle sound AWESOME. I don't know why they are so underused in 40K fiction.

I think you forgot to tell us that 40K isn't the year but rather the price of the minis.

The best summary I heard for Wh 40k was: "Wait. That thing's way too powerfu-. Oh no wait, it's dead."

Bricky: The Inquisition are the ONLY PEOPLE who can deem worlds- The Dark Angels sitting in the back after nuking their own homeworld and every single traitor Primarch's homeworld

I like to think of the Imperium during 40k as the Holy Roman Empire while Ultramar is equivalent to the Byzantine Empire. Prior to the Horus Herasy, the Imperium was like the Roman Empire during the Pax Romana.

"...if you haven't prayed at least three times a day, you're gonna be praying out that airlock." Yep, sounds about right

"so, Bricky, how much money have you spent on your guardsmen army?" " U N T O L D B I L L I O N S "

Literally the gateway to Warhammer 40k for millions. Thank you for making this video Bricky. Discovered both you and Warhammer through this video and I binge every episode of adric every sunday for funsies.

Hooked on Phonics, but for WH40k. I was huge into Mechwarrior and Battletech as a kid. I was always doing those things when everyone else was doing WH40k. Darktide got me interested in the lore a little bit and Bricky made it fun and easy to learn and remember! Thanks Bricky!

Friend of mine explaining how to play warhammer 40k: “You die. Everything dies. Thats it.”

“These guys called the Chaos gods” Ooh who’s the purple one she’s pretty- “Imagine there’s satan, and then three other satans” Oh…

As someone who knows absolutely nothing about Warhammer, I didn't even know there's a difference between Fantasy Warhammer and Warhammer 40k, HOLY SHIT this wasn't what I expected

In 2018 I played Vermintide 2 for the first time. 2 years later Bricky came out with this video and put into my mind that someday I wish I could be a part of this hobby and world. 2 years after that I just bought my first packages of plastic. A Kill Team of T'au and an army of Sisters of Battle. I couldn't be more excited to start on a path that I hope allows me to make friends and enjoy something like I have seen Bricky and Matt do for the last two years. Thanks for the influence. It feels nice to have something I can dedicate myself to.
