Hello ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, it's law crimes.
Hello everyone.
We've got Colin back.
He's back from Vemgus.
How was Vemgus?
Vemgus was good.
It was bueno.
I did put a hundred dollars in slots and then I proceeded to lose a hundred dollars.
What did you think?
The Vegas experience, baby.
Anything better than red?
Unfortunately no.
Heartbreak.
Next trip will be significantly heavier on the gambling.
You could just do what other people at Vegas do.
You just throw your money down the toilet, literally, because it's the same experience.
I just told you I played slots.
You can loiter at the casino, spend one dollar on slots and abuse the free food and drinks
that you get.
The Rio has three neither.
It's bullshit.
I know that because the first night I spent like a hundred bucks on drinks.
Welcome everybody.
Today we'll be discussing a pretty interesting topic.
One that doesn't get covered on many other places though.
Today we're talking about planets across the Warhammer verse.
This is in the 40k slash 30k one specifically.
There's only really one planet in a Warhammer fantasy.
Yeah.
Pain.
This is huge.
I've never been happier.
There's a huge amount of variety across, as the famous saying, the emperor has a million
worlds.
There's more than a million worlds in the galaxy and there are other races, other factions
and other different, there's a huge variety of different planets across Warhammer lore.
We are going to have a go through all of them.
We'll try and get every one major one that we can think of though.
And just before we do start though, we'll say this is sponsored by law crimes.
We have merch.
Some of us have the merch on.
I forgot the other words.
Damn it.
I forgot.
It's sponsored by our boys.
Everyone's feeling like they want to immediately look like a ravaged animal slash when we picked
out in the crowd, where some law crimes merch, cause it's a bad choice and we love to encourage
bad decisions.
This is encouraging buying merch, is it?
Yeah.
I'm going to buy it cause I'll be upset.
Exactly.
I mean, people love to make me upset.
Appreciate it.
Thankful has already appeared in the comment section.
God, I'm sweating.
What crimes do you think Warhammer is bombing someday?
I swear it's-
We're close.
We're getting people for it.
Hal would say that.
Hal's really close.
So close, brother.
Every time Eli pops up to the pub, I'm ready.
Somebody clicked there.
People are begging for us to start.
I think a lot of people either, especially if people are going to sleep for years, they
are going to be like, oh, I'm going to sleep.
I'm going to sleep.
I'm going to sleep, especially if people are going to sleep, poor you guys, or if everyone's
like working out or doing anything or just chilling with us on a Friday night.
Thank you guys all for being here.
And we're going to talk about some awesome Warhammer lore.
All of us are bringing something here.
As you can probably guess, the two younger gentlemen are definitely talking a lot of
Xenos lore.
This was-
Yeah.
This makes them happy.
I'm going to start getting straight on into it though.
I think we do have some background stuff, if we had anything.
Video game.
Pret.
No judgment, please.
This is my terrible gameplay.
I'm in the middle of this right now.
For the boys and trap, we'll say it is the grim dark future, but not every part of the
Warhammer verse is necessarily, I'm like, it's too early to swear in the video because
YouTube be honest.
Hold on for two more minutes.
Two more minutes.
Not everything's a crap hole basically in the Warhammer universe.
And there's a huge amount of variety amongst so many different planets.
I mean, even from the people who are watching the video, there's the backdrop of Darktide,
which is pretty typical of most Imperial civilized worlds.
But the first one we're going to talk about, which is my category, which is just the standard
Imperial civilized world.
And for many people who are reading lore, obviously there's many different places that
they explore.
I think among the main ones I would bring people to is through the Eisenhorn Inquisitor
series, which essentially most Imperial worlds are not like the drastic things like Hive cities
or things that are externally beautiful or it's no, it's a hellscape.
There's a much more of an element of like, you know, it's normal life, but it sucks.
But it's because it's everything is just like, it's like the UK, everything's gone downhill.
It's basically, it is a virtuous idea to be fair.
We still live in the Imperial.
Yeah, like, you know, we like, like we do, we colonize other ideas.
So we love it.
So normal Imperial civilized worlds are a massive mix between what essentially is like
the natural environment.
And it could be things from like small moons.
There's some short stories where there are like outpost civilizations and then one like
planets are even bigger than terror.
And these are civilized by basically the standard Imperials of the sort of sections or worlds.
There are things which are more fortified, but this is just a typical standard Imperial
world.
There's probably a range of like what will be from a few million to many billions at
some points, though, although not stacked necessarily all everyone in Hive cities.
As you're imagining, you know, with the being the grim dark future, though, essentially
everything at this time, because civilization for humanity has been spread across the stars
for thousands of wars, a lot of it is pretty inundated.
Things are just collapsing slightly.
And many people are either like, you know, raise up as guard regiments from these worlds.
I think of the particular example in the Eisenhorn series, if anyone heard of the planet Gudrun,
which is where Eisenhorn is typically based and where a lot of the events of the Eisenhorn
series take place as well.
Just essentially it's a standard world where like, again, pollution levels are high.
It's a towering Gothic structures are everywhere.
And it's kind of a bit crap, but it's also not the worst place.
Like people work regular jobs in the Imperium or, you know, or they get mostly drafted to
Imperial Guard.
But there are places where they essentially have like rich areas where people live, particularly
in the one example of Gudrun.
Eisenhorn travels on the luxury rail journey at one point because they can't avoid, they
need to avoid doing other areas of transport.
And they travel on this really nice, like mountainous, luxurious train ride for the
wealthy people who go skiing.
So there's examples of like, there are, it's kind of like what our Earth is, but essentially
just double the population and build everything bigger.
Kind of for what it is most of the galaxy, but don't worry, it gets worse.
Andy, I believe you have a smaller topic as well to what's our next one for other worlds
in across the galaxy.
Well, to be fair, this isn't such a small one, but it is large encompassing.
So the first of my ones I'm going to cover are the Adeptus Astartes homeworlds.
Now most of you will be familiar with these because let's be honest, Warhammer's about
Space Marines.
It is, shush.
And then most of the stories are on the Space Marine homeworlds.
I didn't say anything.
Oh, I was just getting out there.
I thought some things, but I didn't say anything.
I'm just saying like, what are the planets that come to mind?
Places like Baal, Benris, Grin's World, Terra itself is technically kind of a...
Chogoris.
Like, you're forgetting the greatest of them all, please.
Macrag, my crack.
My crack is a good one.
And these are known as chapter planets.
And chapter planets, as might suggest, are directly under the command of Adeptus Astartes
chapters as fiefdoms for the angels of death.
Each has a fortress monastery, which acts as like a HQ for the Space Marines.
And the planet also typically, but doesn't necessarily act as the primary recruitment
ground for Space Marine chapters.
There are a rare few who just go like, oh, all of these people are wimps.
Screw that.
I'm not going to have some weirdy ass IT guy be my next battle brother.
We're going to go to one of those feral worlds to find someone who's actually got some teeth.
But genuinely, generally speaking, Space Marine chapters, they go, this is a planet I won
through conquest or my dad was born here.
That's usually the way it goes.
And they go, okay, therefore we're going to get Space Marines from this planet.
They're not always planets per se.
You can also have chapter worlds on Voidcraft, space stations, moons, or even asteroid belts.
I mean, Baal isn't actually a planet.
Baal Secundus, where Sanguinus was found, was a moon of Baal Primus.
And although the Space Marines are based on Baal Primus, you get the idea.
There's also the fact that chapter masters of such worlds tend to act as planetary governors
as well as Space Marine chapter masters.
So for example, Pedro Cantor is known as the Lord Hellblade on Rin's world, which has been
through some stuff recently.
You can say that.
Aux Bad is not looking great.
It was probably like a nice world.
Now it's practically a death world.
Big shame.
The designation of a chapter, or I should say a Depth of Starter's homeworld, it can
be anything from a death world to a feral world, a feudal world.
It doesn't matter as long as the Space Marines who set foot on it go, hmm, I like this.
And that's the only prerequisite to have a Depth of Starter's homeworld.
Some Space Marine chapters recruit from extra world.
So for example, the Imperial Fists, technically their homeworld could be described as Holy
Terror, but they also recruit a lot from Necromunda.
And because their fortress monastery, the Phalanx, is a void craft, you could say they're
a fleet based chapter, but they're all a kind of weird mix of the three.
So they're not gonna let any of the other Space Marine chapters get away with the fact
that, oh, we were there when Horus was fighting the Imperial Palace and we were the only ones
standing there, and Blood Angels and White Skies are like, dude, we were there too.
Shush, shush, we were there.
It's great for you, but this is mine, asshole.
This is mine, yeah.
I was there the day the Imperial Fisted.
Yeah, they even have a big monument.
Thankles already on me.
They even have a big monument where they go like-
Help them!
They go to pilgrimages to Holy Terror to find this big mound of like, we crumpled up all
the bodies to make this big monument.
And you can still see the hands of people sticking out of them.
It's like, yeah, that's ours.
Our place.
But they aren't required to recruit specifically from their planet of origin.
They also tend to assimilate the culture of wherever they're from.
So for example, Tomekeepers, the official Space Marine chapter of Games Workshop, they
were given a planet where the popular were very short lived.
They had a tendency to write everything down to pass on to future generations.
Therefore, when they landed there, the guys in charge were like, here's the white book.
It's cool, isn't it?
And they're like, you know what?
That is really cool.
And then the Tomekeepers became the Tomekeepers, similar to how the Space Wolves, wolf, wolf,
wolf, wolf, they love Fenris.
We're not like other Space Marines.
Everything's about the weird and the wolves and the route.
And salamanders are all like, ah, volcanoes are cool.
And so are dragons.
Salamanders.
So they also incorporate a lot of traditions.
Go ahead.
They're right on both accounts.
I mean, the real thing is, do you want to live on somewhere like McCragg, homeworld
of the old Marines?
Because it's obviously gorgeous, you know, pretty good standard of life.
But then every few centuries, something massive attacks it.
So you don't know what deal you're getting.
The paperwork is pretty bad.
Whereas if you grew up in Chagoras, it's like, I'm going for a ride.
Bed up.
Going for a drive.
That's the price you pay to be an ultramarine.
They also tend to tie a lot of resources, aspirants and labor surfs as like a protection
racket to the chapter masters who are like, I'm in charge of this world.
And it's actually not a bad deal.
Like, again, if you live on the McCragg, despite like the McCragg, what would it be like the
MRS, the McCragg, like a tax accountancy people, like being extremely brutal with if you make
a mistake in your taxes, they would still be like, hey, if the death guard happened
to invade, we'll do our best to protect you.
But okay, if I'm on a chapter home world, you can't really get like much of a better
bodyguard than like these eight foot tall Ceramite clad giants with grenade launcher
rifles.
That's pretty good.
Like some world, they're like pre-industrial.
They just have like sticks and stones to fight people.
That's a pretty good deal.
But they do tend to, especially if you're living on Imperium Nihilus, the other side
of the great rift in current setting.
You have no choice but to be like, okay, whoever's in charge of the planet, Space Marine man
will give you everything, all of our resources, all of our money, all of our infrastructure.
Do you want to turn my dad into a labor surf?
Go ahead.
I don't want to die.
Please save me.
Everything's bad.
I'm scared.
And also generally speaking, even though chapter worlds are pretty neat to live on, they're
not beyond the reproach of the Inquisition and such.
So for example, if you're a Mantis warrior, ever since the Badab world, good chapter,
but ever since the Badab war, the home world of Ufeka was given to the space sharks because
it was like, hey, you betrayed the Imperium, your home world goes bye bye.
It's now like theirs.
That's a bad deal.
And even like the fire angels and lots of other chapters who were on the loyalist side,
they were like, hey, your stuff is my stuff now.
Go on your penitent crusade.
And even if you live, we're not giving it back.
It's mine now.
So it's a pretty good deal, but there are caveats.
And it is a bit of a shame that some chapters like Rin's world, like, oh, our world was
pretty cool.
Not anymore.
And yes, so chapter worlds are quite cool.
But again, they're kind of a vague term because they can be pretty much anything under the
sun.
As long as the space means in question, like, oh, this is cool.
That's mine now.
And this is usually a fortress monastery on it, isn't it?
Yeah.
As long as it's got like somewhere to plonk one of those, you're fine.
Fair enough.
I think that's Colin then.
Colin's brought, what do you bring to the group, Colin?
Would you like to share?
My first one is still, you know, Imperium stuff.
It's no, no, it's skipping ahead.
Pardon me.
Imperial paradise worlds, you know, paradise worlds, pleasure worlds, whatever, whatever
you'd like to call them.
These are, they can also be called garden world.
No, Denny's is like a, like a death world light.
Denny's at 4am is the paradise world.
Yeah, no, Denny's at 4am is now that now we're talking.
The quality has reduced drastically since my high school days.
I know that.
It's crazy.
Denny's is great when you're in high school and suddenly when you're an adult, it seems
to just get worse.
I don't know what's up with that.
It's like the point when you suddenly think, man, those teenagers are loud and it's over.
It's so over.
It's, but pleasure worlds and paradise worlds are, you know, usually what they're known
as rather than garden worlds.
Same thing though.
They're, they're kind of more or less what you would think.
There's, they're, you know, they're not centers of industry.
They're not big places, you know, agricultural powerhouses.
It is generally where the upper echelons of the Imperium go to have a nice time.
And really it's a, the TLDR of that is just entirely that.
You can find like, you know, within like subsets of them, like, you know, some pleasure worlds
are going to be like the Garden of Eden, big sprawling fields, like the stuff you have,
like a villa where you own five trillion acres of land.
And it's, you know, the perfect countryside resort catered to your every whim.
Other times it's, you know, like the best possible version of a city where, you know,
every, the nightlife is going every day.
There's all sorts of restaurants and everything you can find to do.
It's there are like variations, but the whole theme, what they're all going to fit into
is if you go to this place, you're going to have a good time.
This should not be taken to mean necessarily that everyone is having a great time because
it is there for the nobles.
There has to be people manning all those, you know, stations to, you know, keep the
nobles happy.
So the largest portion of these people are usually going to be servants.
Again, depending on the world, sometimes they could be like, you know, servants who also
live a fairly comfortable life.
Sometimes you're going to get the, the servitor pleasure world where it's like, what if, what
if we lobotomized everyone on this planet and turn it into a casino?
So there, there are the upper echelon of not horrible planets to live in the Imperium.
Statistically speaking, you're not going to be an Imperial noble.
Still probably not going to be the best for you.
Could be, could be worse.
It could be a lot worse, but you know, as always 40 K is 40 K. You are statistically
not going to be happy.
I think it shocks people to know like, cause I didn't know about that until quite like
a bit into 40 K cause it doesn't come up much, but it's quite weird to think like, oh yeah,
there are actually not like, there are actually good like vacation spots within the Imperium
of man.
It's again, obviously mostly for the nobility, like rogue traders or, you know, inquisitor
retired naval officers or something.
Yeah.
They're, you know, important people and they're one day off a decade.
Don't let Kifus Kane anywhere near it.
He's gone to a few.
He's, he's, he's a good guy.
He does not fall to the, which in fact, I guess that's, that's as good of a transition
as any.
He does not fall to the biggest, I suppose outside issue on pleasure worlds, which is
that a lot of them got a little bit of some ash problems because they're all these, these
worlds are, they're called pleasure worlds, paradise worlds.
They're there.
They're movies.
People like movies.
Fact, things are true.
For example, the planet Carmen or Carmine C A R M Y N.
I don't know.
Where in the world is Carmen?
It's in the Jericho reach and is one of the few places there.
Oh, right.
I fucking dialed on screen.
Sorry.
I got so annoyed.
I was trying to chug me into the goddamn thing.
Tilted horde, girl.
I'm not even playing right now and he got tilted by it.
I was so annoyed because I was helping someone up and I got pushed by nothing.
Chance comments on the leg have been very funny.
Bro did not learn his left for dead lessons.
Do not go near the cliff when there's a charger around.
It gets worse because the longer I get, I get, okay, keep going.
Sorry, keep going.
The lore.
We're here for the lore.
Yeah, on Carmen there is sure enough, it's where, you know, unspoiled forests, these
lovely beautiful oceans and mountain ranges and the Imperial presence is like pretty small.
It's like some small settlements, you know, mostly filled with staff and servants who,
you know, help the officers and more who use these places.
They also live in underground barracks, by the way, so that they're they're disgusting
peasant presence.
Just as beautiful scenery, you said it's inhabited by staff and I didn't think of like people
as part of staff.
I thought you staff is in like the infection because it's a pleasure.
Sorry.
What's that?
It's full of staff and staff within.
Interestingly enough, the little Sineshi cult here is actually within the servants.
It's a small one, but it's slowly working its way through the ranks and, you know, despite
being a god of excess, Sineshi can be patient.
The servants will do whatever degenerate garbage until they can get the nobles in on it and
then it's a problem for that poor planet.
And overall that's paradise worlds are pretty simple.
You see, you get what you see on the tin.
Sineshi is going to be the biggest problem, but for what it's worth, pleasant enough places
to be.
I'd rather be a servant on a paradise world than whatever a hive world version of the
middle classes.
My apartment is like one foot extra space compared to the guys at the bottom.
Oh boy, I'm living the big life now.
Do we have a nation, I think?
No, do we want to get through it?
Remind them to stop powering through our own world.
Every time we do like a full rotation between all four worlds.
Oh yeah, sorry, go ahead then.
I guess just...
Oh sorry, sorry, go ahead Colin.
I'm knackered off.
One last thing, some of the planets are apparently privately owned.
Part of the Imperium, but you know, it's one of those very lax Imperial rules where they're
like, look, you don't make weapons, you can't poison the food you send out, you can do your
own thing.
We don't really care.
That's the...
Some pleasure worlds are like that.
Like, nah, part of the Imperium, but eh.
Yeah.
Eli, off to you, sir.
Imperial death worlds, pretty straightforward.
It's kind of in the name.
They're worlds that'll try to kill you.
There's a lot of famous ones.
They suck.
A lot of Space Marines chapters recruit from these worlds and a lot of Imperial Guard regiments
are raised from these worlds naturally because when you're living in an environment that
is impossible to live in, it happens to produce some tough and adaptable people, resourceful
people.
Famous ones obviously are places like Krieg, Katachan, and Talarn.
Krieg, you know, they nuke their entire planet, so it's inhospitable on the surface, which
is hence the gas masks and stuff.
Talarn, pretty similar scenario.
In Talarn, the Iron Warriors showed up.
They virus bombed the entire planet.
So again, the surface is inhospitable.
So everyone actually lives in a network of tunnels underneath the surface and you only
go up when you really need to.
And Katachan is a very nice, wonderful jungle planet where everything on Katachan tries
to kill you from the plants to the bugs to the animals to the air, everything, and that's
why Katachans are such buff, brave fellas.
Of course, famously, the Katachan devils, the scorpion centipede giant bug things that'll
absolutely eviscerate you.
Every...it's simple as that.
In a death world, everything's gonna, you know, bring you death.
That's kind of the point.
Fenris is a famous Space Marine one.
Fenris has insane elements from extremely harsh winters to volcanic regions that will
bring you to death.
They have monsters and crack-ins.
I don't know.
Anything you could imagine that sucks just making Warhammer times it by ten.
And there you go.
There's definitely more death worlds that Space Marines recruit from and I'm drawing
a blank.
There's another really cool one, but apparently I've forgotten.
I think a lot of them are pretty...they're the most interesting worlds generally in the
Imperium though, because they just generally are like, it's such a crap time.
Because stuff happens because it's such a dumb...
Yeah.
Well, the thing is, this place is like Medusa, where it's so bad the Ironhands don't have
a fortress monastery as such.
They have like, you know the land crawlers the Jawas use in Star Wars?
Each clan basically has one of those and they just like roll around the planet non-stop
because they're like, well that sucks and that sucks and that sucks and if we stay put
something's gonna kill us.
So we got to keep moving and it sucks.
I'm imagining every Ironhands deep-voiced, whootiebee.
Oh my god, it's Ferris Manus.
Whootiebee.
If Valhalla classified as a death world or is it just really cold?
Where's that?
Valhalla?
Like the Valhalla in Ice War?
I think it's actually classified as a death world because it's that cold.
Yeah, Nocturne as well.
I think also helping the death world allegations for Valhalla is that a horse.
Yeah.
There's some green skins mucking around that place after they got invaded one time.
Yeah, I guess anywhere like Armageddon you could call a death world because it's just
fighting orcs all the time.
Although Armageddon is also a fortress.
Is Armageddon a fortress world?
It is.
It is now.
Maybe it wasn't at one point, but...
My favorite death world, technically this is death world lore, is like on Katachan when
the night lords invaded and then they left because they were terrified.
They were like, this place sucks.
It's worth the Nocturne.
Honestly.
Gatakand does that all the time.
When the great rift happened and demons showed up everywhere, it just ate them.
They just went...
I'm saying if Abaddon, the spoiler, 13th Black Rassade was on Katachan, it'd be a different
story.
To be fair, I'm just imagining the rural Katachan guy just being like, city folk coming to our
jungle world.
Can't handle the predators.
A really big plant would have grown to eat the Blackstone fortress.
Venus nightlord trap, exactly.
I was ever, ever in the 40k universe and I was like, we're going to Katachan.
I'd be like, nah, double it and give it to the next person.
Sir, with all respect, I'm just gonna kill myself now.
A lot of people always ask why space marines don't recruit from Katachan.
I don't have a real answer for that, but it's probably because they already make some of
the best guardsmen you can get, so you don't really need to invest more resources into
that.
That's my logic.
Why would you?
A space marine Katachan would not fit in the armor.
They'd have to mass produce Tiberos's shit.
Who'd win an arm-resting competition?
Tiberos the Red Wake or Sly Marble?
Sly Marble the Goat.
When you already have an entire army of peak human beings, you can take the less peak human
being and make him into a space marine instead.
I feel like that makes more sense to me.
Should we get through some donations?
Thank you, brothers.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
I'll take this one.
Sit.
Thank you for the five books.
Happy late B-Day to the pancreas guy with the pancreas thing.
I forgot where this bit was going.
Happy B-Day.
Best of wishes.
Thank you very much, guys.
Thank you.
Huge, huge, huge, huge.
Yay, Lord Christ.
Consider this, the Emperor was alive during our time, so he canonically has to have seen
epic rap battles of history.
Explains a lot.
Dude, huge.
He's waiting for his own episode.
Drunky Man, you must say obligatory late stream Hal Goon comment.
Thank you for the five.
Where's the and I'm also gay guy?
Where you meet that right there?
Yeah, it goes OK, then is also called God Emperor by some.
Have you seen that man talk?
He throws shade and likes to use brute force to go.
She like biggie.
Thank you for the five.
I'm afraid I don't know who temp is.
Thank you.
Bunny cop for five bucks.
I'm imagining the planets in most of the Kuiper Kane books are typical imperial planets.
Some sound pretty nice.
Welcome back, everybody.
Appreciate that, brother.
Yeah, the first book definitely.
So the more OK.
Gravel acts as the planet planet gravel acts.
Caleb Collins, the two bucks.
Even Jonah fears the IRS and Joker.
The Joker fears the IRS 40Ks must be true.
Thank you.
You're born.
My.
Yeah.
It's a good place of money to listen to Colin speaking for my free hour straight.
Here begins the free hours go.
All right.
Everyone, everyone give a script to Colin right now.
Just send them on over.
I'm going to replace every world, every name with Sterling.
We're going back in time.
You could just watch a playlist of Colin's videos.
I'm sure that would do the trick as well.
Hmm.
Is West Taiwan by Kellecom's wreck 40K.
Thanks.
We had Kathy.
I don't know.
I mean, no, no, I don't.
Gaines Workshop, who they don't.
I don't think it even factored into anything for that.
They did make three kingdoms.
That game was not that great.
Cabanas, mighty, Schlanger, sickness.
There he is.
Two bucks.
Sickness prime is nice.
This time of the.
Horizon, there's a mighty long horizon like that big from bit from Rogue One.
There's a problem on the horizon.
There's no horizon.
It's like a dark souls weapon, isn't it?
Honestly, Lucy McShootie.
Oh, there he is.
Good to see you again, brother.
Ben kind of cleaned is a new high for Colin.
I've seen Colin.
Is my bed the topic of the next one as well?
Yeah, why not?
Luis 1945 moist.
Yeah, that's disgusting.
Wraith guard, Wraith guard, PFP.
You will rise dragon tamer for two bucks.
Obligatory mention of Eldar Maiden was this coming up.
It's coming up.
Oh, Optimus Jedi.
Thank you.
Not every planet is an asshole.
Space America, aka Ultramar, exists, as given said, the greatest, most beautiful sector.
Frankly, the best people say we're going to build a big, beautiful wall.
We're going to build a big, beautiful wall.
Thank you very much.
The bag is absolutely exceptional.
I've been there.
Amazing.
The swarm node.
You call him the swarm.
It's not very big.
Swarm.
I met that guy.
Parker 74, five bucks.
Agree or disagree.
Afarius Omegon is the Johnny's citizen.
I've seen the artwork.
I mean, look, he's a plumber.
He's a space marine.
He's a space engineer.
I mean, look, he's a plumber, he's a space marine, he's a Primarch, he's a doctor.
What doesn't that man do?
He's a hardworking family man.
Exactly.
It costs two bucks.
Put the L's in the bin, let he face corn again.
He's family, I will say.
He's crazy.
Crazy seven, five bucks.
Primarch four skin, Primarch four skin, tear-less to wed.
What do you mean, it's a good four skin?
You know, one that, you know, it doesn't got any cheese in it.
It's.
Oh, Colin.
I'm not going near Fulgrum.
Fulgrum's even have one for Snake.
Sharp Bournemare, 1074.
10 Canadian.
I just finished Elf Slayer and I love reading about the dark elves dying.
That's a good book.
Not a nice one.
The ending of that book kind of hurt me a little bit.
Four skin tear-less wed?
I can't believe what we're saying in this episode.
We'll stop repeating it and it'll go away.
Moving on.
We have one more.
From Ludie McJudie himself.
Thank you very much.
So Colin, whenever we're getting that Sword Art Online tear-list, I know you love you
some SAO.
Cause you don't stop talking about how much you love it.
He does love Sword Art Online.
That is official information.
I apologize for this three year old joke.
This was like episode one.
Like the first thing we ever did.
It's been fucking haunting me ever since.
We just put the IMDB page up for lore crap.
We could just put in the trivia.
Colin's favorite game is Sword Art Online.
It's not a game!
Oh, it's not a game.
It must be a mother-of-pearl game.
Moving on, because we've got quite a few to get through.
The next one on the list, boys, is Cardinal Worlds.
This is essentially quite similar to the previous one I said before about normal imperial civilized worlds.
The only difference is essentially the entire world falls under the reign of the Ecclesiarchy.
So instead of something like planetary governors, they literally have Cardinals.
The one example I thought, oh, I remember reading was the one in the Yaruk book when he's like a
young commissar.
Essentially, as a commissar, they have to navigate essentially an entire world that's run by the priesthood.
Often Cardinal Worlds do actually get to rely on calling in the Sisters of Battle if they need a better force.
But they have their own militaries.
They have nobles.
They have all the regular stuff of imperial worlds.
But essentially, all the money goes into Cardinal Worlds.
It goes towards the Cardinals and essentially the Ecclesiarchy itself.
It's not similar to what we'll talk about later, which is a shrine world.
That's almost like a different thing.
But essentially Cardinal Worlds essentially is a normal imperial thing.
But you're going to be you're messing with the imperial cult.
So it can be a bit of a mixed bag because there's a lot of centralized power there.
But it's also, oh, God, if I even with a corrupt bishop or Cardinal, this is the worst.
You know, it could be a bit of a as in the Yarrow book is proved like the guy who was in charge of the planet.
He was corrupt, but also he was completely loyal to the emperor as in like he had like so.
So they actually couldn't do anything about him because he was technically a loyal imperial citizen.
But he was a totally corrupt and like cunning and evil guy.
But he also wasn't.
He's out of line.
But he's not right.
We're also the altar boys.
All right.
Oh, no, no, no.
That's my that's basically my next one there.
Andy, what have you got next?
OK, next up, I have hive worlds.
Oh, no.
So hive worlds are basically.
Yeah, I mean, they're typically used for mining waste disposal and food harvesting.
Billions upon billions of people live on each world, typically condensed into hive cities, which are just like every dystopian sci fi film or short story or anything you've ever seen.
Where it's like spires upon spires upon spires, where it's like the lower down you get, the worse it is.
That's a hive world.
They're full of manufacturer.
But we're not talking about we're going to make lasguns.
We're going to make tanks.
We're going to make like pens, we're going to make staples, we're going to make all the menial stuff that you need.
But we don't it's not the worst.
Like we're not making anything for Space Marines or Asthma Eletarum.
We're making like we're making like toilet paper recycled from like your dead relatives.
It's it's brutal.
It's bad.
Protein bars.
Yummy nummies.
Good nummies.
Funnily enough, manufacturer in these kind of hive worlds, they waste practically nothing.
Everything is recycled.
So Green Party, as much as you like recycling is good, this is where it leads.
Because not only will they recycle masonry, steel, they'll recycle your family members to turn into corpse starch.
And then when you die, you're the meal of the day.
Very efficient.
Don't get me wrong, but still cannibals.
Still cannibalism.
And it's not great.
Like recycling is good, but not in this way.
There is a saying that every human civilization is only ever free missed meals away from anarchy.
And that's no different for hive worlds, especially the under hives, which is the bottom rungs of the planet, are rife with gang warfare, uprisings, chaos cultists, gene stealer cults, any sliver or glimmer of a way for these people to escape drudgery and toil.
They grab with both hands because it's terrible.
Taxation and deprivation are rampant.
To the point where if you're ever offered, hey, do you want to go like join the astral military and certainly die.
People are like, yes, please.
Yes, please.
I'd love to get out of here, please.
Please.
I want to die.
That's how I want to be here anymore.
Please give me UK the long way.
And essentially this is the question to cap off this one to cap off this one. I'm just going to leave it with this sort of end point.
Imagine Birmingham.
Dragons.
It's dreadful.
Hive worlds are like Birmingham on steroids.
There is a hive world Birmingham.
Birmingham is a planet.
Remember the point is in my notes to the point where one of the hive worlds is called Birmingham.
It's called that because it's dreadful.
And weirdly, it's also a chapter world.
So there are space marines hailing from being in, which is quite interesting.
I want to see Jesus Christ superstar in Birmingham.
She pretty good.
Random.
Was it good because it was a glimmer of like hope and niceness in the environment of Birmingham?
Oh, yeah.
I felt at home in the 40 day experience.
In the cesspit.
Essentially.
Yeah.
Although even like Colin, when you went to Manchester airport, you're like, it's great.
It's miserable.
It's like that.
It was like someone took a vacuum and sucked every bit of color out of that area of like Earth.
I didn't even know what I know.
I haven't used it other than you.
I like a nice overcast day like I like, you know, gentle rainy day.
It's calm.
You get a book or read by the window.
It's nice.
Birmingham was like that.
But if God had depression, Manchester.
Manchester.
Put it that way.
Manchester is a luxury.
Luxury.
What's the next one?
Colin now.
Colin has one more to share with the boys.
Indeed.
I have a few more than one more, but I have one more for right now.
Maiden Worlds.
Also known in the Eldar tongue as please.
Oh, no, this is actually an easy one to say.
Lilathan.
So Maiden Worlds were millions of years ago.
They were just kind of rocks, just like empty, like nothing planets.
But the Eldar, especially this time, were, you know, kind of immortal.
And even ignoring that, they lived for quite the long time.
So they put some some very advanced, obviously partially psychic terraforming projects into play millions of years ago.
And then they they just left.
They're like, you know what?
Not my problem anymore.
I'll come back in a couple million years, see how you're doing.
And sure enough, a couple million years go by.
And however they make these planets, you know, it's basically just starting life on it.
But it isn't just, you know, a terraformed planet like Earth because, you know, it's a magical elf terraformed world.
They they turn into these brilliant paradises where everything is perfectly suited to be like the Garden of Eden.
Like the natural resources, both, you know, like trees, farmland, stuff like that.
But even like, you know, mountains with minerals and all that stuff is just so bountiful.
Any problematic like you're not going to get sick on a maiden world because there is only the good bacteria that like lives in your gut.
There is only the good ones.
It is. It's paradise.
And sure enough, as the fall of the Eldar was approaching, one subsect of the people who dipped went to these maiden worlds in an exodus,
which is why they're called the exodites, if you had never put that one together.
And the ones that are left are an unfortunate thing about the birth of Slaanesh with these planets is that you were either far away enough.
That maiden world was either far away enough from the core of the Eldar Empire or it wasn't.
And if it wasn't, I'm sorry, person who was doing nothing wrong, but you are now getting bored.
But if it was far away enough, you now live on a paradise and maiden worlds have what's a world spirit that replaces their need for spirit stones,
because when an exodite dies, they just kind of become one with the planet, very wood elf.
Naturally, a lot of these planets are still unpopulated because the Eldar would just see a barren planet and plop down terraforming on it for millions of years later.
So sometimes there's other people on these feral worlds that aren't Eldar.
If an Eldar craft world, and by an Eldar craft world, 99% of the time I mean Baltan, shows up to one of these maiden worlds that has people on it.
Well, if it's orcs, you know, kill the orcs, that one's easy.
But if it's, you know, humans or other species, there's a... you get a choice.
They'll let you leave. If you can't leave, sometimes they will even offer, like, put you in animation and fare you to another world.
Or they're gonna kill you.
Reasonable.
That's, you know, those are... hey, they open with negotiation. That's already better than like 80% of Imperial forces.
They open with the option to not get killed.
And sure enough, you say no, you're gonna get killed.
As for the Exodites themselves, because, you know, despite being used as the ultimate punching bag, even more so than the craft worlds,
they are... they can defend their worlds quite well, because every maiden world has the the catacan on switch.
An Exodite presses it, and suddenly you now have magical catacan where the planet itself is going to try and eat you.
There's dinosaurs on these things that the Eldar tame and ride.
They're very relatively primitive, but it's like wood elf primitive.
So they're not stupid. And they do still actually have some Eldar weaponry.
It's just mounted on a, you know, a dinosaur rather than a wave serpent.
And they're... if you're allowed to live there, pretty, pretty great place to live all around.
If you're not allowed to live there, you're gonna get killed by an elf riding a velociraptor.
Epic.
And let me just... I don't remember the legions, but, you know, I'm just saying,
took three legions to conquer one during the Great Crusade. Three legions. That's... I think that's pretty good.
That's like, at the time, that's like a sixth of all the space marines in the galaxy.
That is pretty nice.
And one Anarchir the Traveler.
And another Necron Victory.
You know what?
Who is it? I did a video recently of one space marine chap to destroy a maiden world on his own.
Yeah, well, you know, like I said, sometimes GW writers will write cool things,
and sometimes they proceed to get on their knees and give Gilamon the... no, not Gilamon, I do that too.
And give, you know, some unnamed Nobody Cares chapter the second of a lifetime.
To be fair, it was an Ultramarine successor.
Yeah, and then they get blown up by a Laetok afterwards, don't they? Is that the same guys that I'm thinking of?
Or is it like Braw Potasols?
I don't remember what they're called though.
But Laetok murdered one space marine chapter, at least.
There's one cool thing I'll say about that, because I remember there was a description of like some humans living on one.
I heard in lore.
As a retired Imperial general, he described how like there were literal...
like the way like spirits... what's the bone?
Wraith bone.
It had like literal landscapes of like wraith bone crafted into like beautiful sculptures and plants and things that like it was like someone who was a gardener, but yet there was no one tending it.
It was incredibly beautiful.
And for what I think they describe, like for what human hands can do, it came nowhere near close to what the Eldoran could do.
When I said they're like the Garden of Eden, I meant it. Like they're into like for natural beauty, they're astonishingly beautiful.
And then the Exodites decide they don't want you around. And if you're not a named character, you probably not gonna have fun.
I think they have they have world spirits too that are kind of like the...
Did I mention that?
He might have.
Yeah, they did.
It replaces the infinity circuit and like the need for a spirit stone.
Unfortunately, if you're tracing the infinite, you walk into the magical chamber heart of the planet and just...
Easy.
Which you know what, you know what, you know what Eli? Necrons are allowed to do that.
Because the Necrons are a fellow war in heaven. No, they're the only worthy enemy.
Speaking of worthy enemy though, do we, I think is it Eli?
This is huge.
Speaking of talking for three hours, Necrons are here.
We're already at 48 minutes and this is halfway through as well. I won't be too long. I'll be quick.
Tomb worlds are the worlds that the Necrons went to sleep in a long, long time ago after the war in heaven.
They're called tomb worlds because underneath the surface of the world is essentially a tomb of Necrons.
At the time, they were scoured of all life, but life of course finds a way.
Over 60 million years, a lot of things have overgrown on them.
Thankfully, when you wake up as a Necron on a tomb world, you go right to work and eradicate everything on the planet.
You mow the lawn.
They wake up and they say, I'm going to tomb.
Underneath the surface though is millions, not billions, of trillions even stasis crypts where all the nice Necron fellows sleep.
It's maintained by canoptics, spiders, wraiths, scarabs, etc.
Wraiths are more like the guards who monitor and everything.
They can phase through the earth itself. Tomb spiders perform maintenance for the most part.
They can also kill things. Same thing with scarabs.
Scarabs are often used for repair and there's even like there's nanoscarabs and then there's like the regular scarabs that you see.
Usually the nobility will be woken up first or at least the cryptech and then the cryptech and goes and wakes up the nobility who are kept in much nicer places than the rabble.
But you know, the rabble or consciousness for the most part. So it doesn't really matter.
Oh, it's also oversaw by a autonomous spirit, quote unquote, AI, but it's not AI.
The Necrons believe in the machine spirit as well. And so these spirits usually take care of the Necron planets and make sure everything goes all right.
Usually there's issues when you wake up, not always, but generally 60 million years, even the most well-made system ever will have some minor issues.
And there will be problems. Sometimes, sometimes you wake up half the people there won't even wake up.
Sometimes the nobility doesn't wake up. Sometimes you wake up with the Flare curse, etc.
Yeah.
There's that one in the Jericho Reach where the guy woke up and he's just like, we're all awake and Necron Lord and he's like, ah, he's not waking up.
Like he should be awake. Why isn't he awake? Oh, no.
And there's a whole power struggle about like the Vizier and all that.
Like who's going to be charged now that the Necron Lord is asleep and like he's going to wake up.
I promise. In a hundred years. Oh, shit. Why is he waking up?
There's usually cool things at the center of the planet. I don't know, like on Kalarentir in the center of the planet, there's a Doleman Gate, which is the gate to the Webway and a whole fleet just hanging in suspension.
Might be like a Ketan shot or something. Cool things like that. Yeah, I won't go on forever.
I think that pretty much sums up what a Tomb World is. And there's more Necron Lord coming after this from me anyways.
My favorite part is like not everybody knows that it's a Necron Tomb World.
It could be. And I guess sometimes like a human might colonize and then I don't know, like a five year old kid kicks a ball into the wrong area of the planet and awakens the Tomb World and your entire planet is now eradicated.
Or you drop Ferris Manus onto Medusa and he kills a big Necron spider and gets iron hands and a whole team is born thanks to the Necrons.
There's also Tomb Sentinels and Tombstalkers and say that they can also phase through material and the Tomb Sentinels have an eye of, I don't even remember what it's called, like deletion.
It sends whatever it uses to another dimension, to a pocket dimension. So they're really good at like mining things and getting rid of things. They're also good at sending half your body to another plane of existence and then you die.
But as one does.
This cannot take Aranther Sites. This cannot take everything. There's a lot of, yeah, that should do.
Does there any more, is there another donation, Andy? Oh yeah, I'm just going to go to the next one. We've got about six. Oh, Caleb Collins again. It's called Hot Online. It's a better story than the Inari books.
Can't argue that. I mean, can't argue with that. I hate that that's kind of true.
Made of Invergill is an OG, thank you for the five. Genuine question, instead of Finleyville insults, do you have any interest in Trench Crusade? I've been painting the minis and they're great plus lore. Well, spoilers for next week.
I am going to be going over Trench Crusade in full with someone else, which is maybe Andy, I think, if I remember correctly.
Me. Sorry.
I bought myself the files for the Sultanate, and I'm making a army for them currently so I'm pretty excited.
Nice. Incoming backup for the 30 squigglies.
Kind of related but not really. If you go far enough from the center of
Giron, the random life magic can make you pregnant. Yeah, we heard that the life wave, isn't it, can make you pregnant regardless of what equipment you're packing. Oh no, and the other realms are insane.
Good luck, soldier. That was an incoming backup donation without a boingob mission.
Caleb Collins.
Two bucks.
Nuzzles.
Wow.
I'm going to go with that. Bean for five bucks. The most horrific hive world can't even come close to the nicest scavengers in terms of violence and cruelty. I mean, it's actually not far off though. It's a good link. Is there anyone who wants to take this one?
Tom Warren for the five dollars. I think I just stole that from Andy and Colin at the same time. I think in old fantasy lore, the Amazonians had laser guns and that's pretty much exactly what I imagine the Exodus being like, except more Elfy. They did, pretty much.
Dragon tamer with the two. Slenesh saw the Eldar and made them burmy now.
Oh, one more thing before I forget. Cool tomb world example is Zandra Gora. It's the one that's, what's his name, Illumina, Illuminaur Zaris. Spends most of his time on. It's a like big giant team of crypt tech, crypt techs who really like biology.
So the entire tomb world is full of creatures and biology. Not working. And there's, it's just an entire tomb world of like biology experiments. And most of the time when you're being experimented on by guys like Zaris, you are awakened alive because you know, they're trying to find the secrets of life.
They're trying to find the secrets of life. So naturally you ought to be alive. Don't worry. He'll mute his ears, not because he feels bad, but because he doesn't want to listen to your bullshit called the blood pits of Zandra Gora. If I remember correctly.
Jesus.
They're seeking the new bodies for the Necron people. Yeah. Well, my next one is a, is nice and short and sweet one kind of the next one is shrine worlds. It's a bit of a riff off of what was Cardinal worlds. Again, this is something which is either owned by the ecclesiarchy or it's essentially a site of great importance to the
Imperium. It's often places of Imperial victories or the resting planes resting places of dead saints, or it can be essentially where like a big relic is examples of this was like in the Eisenhorn trilogy.
Eisenhorn need to get like a saint blessing on one of his weapons and he went to a world that had a specific saints remains there and then the church would give out the blessing to the sword. There's also the one example of to the space wars the spear of Russ is on a specific planet that is near
Fenris as an entire world that's basically dedicated to essentially keeping it safe really, though most of the world itself lives in normal life around it and they just have like a military force and then maybe if it's a star to you they have like a small standing, like
force around them, you know, like a few gods something like that.
There's plenty places of pilgrimage. There is a common which one of this, but there is also a space marine chapter who peculiarly are their home world is a shrine world the death specters. Oh, that's weird.
Not them specifically I think there was another one where it's just like they are the ones who are like, oh, we're, we're, our only thing is to protect the specific world.
I think it's the death specters, they live on a. It's either cemetery or shrine world but they're basically the same thing. Because they worship death and yeah that makes sense Raven guard fellow with the glass thrown course.
Yeah, not. Yes, that's right. That's the one see Eli notice law. There's no, there's not many shrine worlds that do come up in some stories though, particularly I think I saw about the world crusades, they
appeared in some parts of that again like they have small showing up in other places but they're often not really the center of much happening in many stories that I liked how in space marine to DeMarian is a shrine world and there's that whole mission.
Oh yeah, we need to get through this door. And there's all like nah we only open this door when we have to like take someone's body and enter it somewhere new and like, oh for God's sake, Akaran is a.
I'm a space marine guy open the door and he goes, no, we have to find the right body is like the amount of red tape in these shrine well funny.
They're like they're huge amount of like they essentially can be like mass graveyards as well for honored dead but typically they do have people living on them for most of the time, but they, they kind of, again they are owned by the Ecclesiarch again, and that's
kind of really Andy there's what's your next one.
My next one is feudal worlds feudal worlds are kind of weird. They tend to encompass between 100,000 to 500 people max, and by 40 K standards that's very small like, bear in mind.
Last one I mentioned hive worlds.
You could fit like the population of earth into like one high city of a hive world, it's not and have room to spare.
You can have millions upon billions upon billions. They're similar to the Middle Ages or Renaissance periods of the age of progress.
The Imperium has very little effect on these peasant communities typically ruled by night houses, but also other particular like bespoke militaries or space marines, a good example of this would be someone like someone like Caliban, they're like hey, we still light
up these are like castles with candles but also check this last sick power.
I got sick power on my horse like what's going on here.
I tend to be armed with simple black power. Yeah, it's like, I've got a black powder firearm, also my chainsaw like what's going on.
I'm armed with armor and basic weaponry. They are overwhelmingly run by like generationally prescribed duties. So be like you are born to be the labor class you are born to be the nobility you are born to be the toilet scrubber, and there's like no divergence
for the most part, which is a bit sad. They're often beset by several times.
Yeah, like, clean the latrine. Oh no.
They're attacking the gates.
And they tend to be that tends to be like a fairly good amount of these planets, and they have like a bit of imperial presence, but they don't put the effort to actually like terraform clear out all the beasts they're just like no that's fine.
And, be honest a lot of space marines kind of like feudal worlds because they already have like some education, they have some discipline some cultural trappings of like this. This is quite easy to transplant into space marines, but they just have to be like hey, wash your
hands occasionally.
German theory is a thing.
Did don't you know.
They're actually strangely good at certain feats of engineering. Generally because one they like alchemy, they like to make weird potions and polstices kind of pagan stuff, but also they all tend to have inherited at least one STC of value.
So I'll be like, hey,
I know that I've been injured on this strange,
I know that I've landed on from a mission, and this pollsters is doing wonders for my injured leg, but like, what the hell is that warlord Titan doing over there is like, oh, that's just like something we have like what you have that and candles, and it's a bit strange.
And it tends to jar with their, their, their lowly surroundings and then also glimmers of high tech.
And they tend to just type a lot of food materials and labor to protect us like night houses and space means night houses tend to be the main thing because it's again like very feudal, very aristocratic very.
My dad was a night. My dad's dad was a night, and we're the ones with the big guns so do as we say.
But because of this, they're very rarely rebellious. This very rarely chaos uprisings or disobedience they're very obedient, and their, their value of hereditary like customs tends to keep them in line, and they don't tend to cause any trouble.
They trade a lot with the department into a unit or room, mainly just because in certain like gloomy parts of space where there's not much like outposts, you get what you can, you're like, oh look at these bumpkins, give us some food would you please.
But it is a bit of a culture shock whenever it's like hey, my Lord, I come hearing news. We saw a gigantic spaceship in the sky with like light bulbs and everything, and they boom, they dropped down and and men in armor gleaming gold and silver with guns
that shot yonder a million feet, and they told us to as we say or we will destroy all of your civilization. So we gave them our stuff, but yeah, that's a feudal world.
King Arthur meets battle star Galactica epic also inbred inbred joking, there's actually a lot of inbred.
I'm from the Channel Islands, it puts us to shame.
Because all the night house, I have this a lot of, you know, is your cousin your sister, you know, or is she your wife.
Your mom is your dad, said feudal world inhabitant.
Colin, what have you got next for the group?
The one and only craft world. Craft worlds in a mirror of, you know, the exodites, instead of finding a home to escape the fall of the Eldar from they just built one, a big old ship.
As it was falling you know this was a, actually no, pardon me, I jumped ahead a little bit. Some were built like there were a couple I know that were like constructed as like oh we gotta go we gotta go we gotta go.
But a lot of them were actually pre fall vessels, they were funnily enough considered like just roaming bands of just traders and they were kind of looked down upon a bit it's like you're, you're so behind on trends and crap like that you know.
But what that allowed them to do is because they were pretty isolated, they didn't, they didn't get caught up and what the rest of the Eldar were doing this and Ash was coming about.
So you know they go to a planet couple thousand years ago by they go to another planet like you all, you all seem a lot more liberal with the Colosseum and orgies than the last time we were around.
Come back another few thousand years later it's like okay, now you're eating each other during the orgy. This is, this is, this is getting problematic.
The blood orgies are a bit like annoying I gotta be honest.
Why is the pavement lubed?
Yeah, it's like it's, this is, I don't think I'm comfortable where you're going fellas.
It's like the pavement made of people.
Or that.
So, what they would do as the fall was coming they would basically just load anyone onto the ship who, who wanted out, and as much like pre fall artifacts and anything they could grab like, get it all get everything we can.
Which they did face a similar problem to the exodites and that some of them just weren't far away enough from the core of the Eldar Empire when Sinesh was born and you got trapped in the warp.
Slightly less problematic for the craft worlds because as still vessels they could move like Ulthwe was right at the perfect boundary that for 10,000s of years it was kind of soft stuck in like the Eye of Terror's gravity well or some shit.
I don't know.
I didn't write the Lord don't yell at me.
So, and again sometimes you know you get a real hero like Malkin Robby like nah, I'm pulling you out of the warp, my own bare hands.
Well, they're on the outside, they're like a couple continents, but they do, they do the funny Doctor Who thing where they're definitely bigger on the inside.
And there again, they can be there is very varied as the people who built them. For example, sign on is has like floating islands and stuff like that where they just joust around each other with it you know the wild riders and just 24 seven Mad Max on jet bikes.
You know a little bit less horror than that they do you know they can eat, they have water, but.
I don't know, Eldar craft worlds on dating apps be like it's bigger in person I swear. Come on guys.
Yeah, but it probably is you go in and it's like oh, it's girthy.
All the ways.
Damn, I ended has a lot of like you know great halls and you know meeting places and stuff like that, mostly inhabited by rates because four out of five people and I ended are dead.
But you know, again, this is 40k death semantics, only in death does duty and the elders.
We're not done. Not done.
Get back.
There are a few constant features across craft world so for example you can find the different aspects shrines founded you know as for men and the Phoenix Lords, teaching them you know the ways of war that the elder follow and how to handle the 41st
Millennium and how miserable it is.
There's of course the infinity circuit which courses throughout the thing, which is like equal parts afterlife electricity system like power core for the craft world does a lot of stuff.
It's where the, where they put the dead elder when they die, assuming they're part of me spirit stone collected their sentience.
And it's there again they're pretty good places to live.
All things considered, they have the artwork you can find them as I find it absolutely gorgeous, like these towering spires that like with a great coloration.
There will oftentimes be shrines to the fallen elder gods. For example I know I and and has a like is a, is a big shrine to a Syrian, and even has like his sacred flame, kind of like over on a fantasy.
And of course webway gates, because you know the elder when they have to move through the webway craft worlds all have webway gates.
It's like very dangerous as well. I think a lot of them they like beautiful sculpted glass on rice. Oh yeah.
And they have a nail ton for it shattered looking at like the artwork of that it's a very pretty looking craft world very weird but you know in that fun elder weird kind of way, it's cool.
Probably have all the list like the best place to live isn't it.
Up there.
It's, I'd say on them or maiden worlds, or maybe pleasure worlds, if you're a noble.
Just
Asian.
They can, you know, because they're because they're made out of wraith bone they're fairly malleable, not to say fragile, because you know wraith bone can be as hard or as soft as it needs to be given what the elder require at the moment.
But they'll have like massive cannons like Nova cannon size defenses you can see one in a battle fleet gothic and I think it helps fire off a couple shots at the enemy it's so cool.
And if they can move like bail ton when it shattered. They just turned a bunch of it into ships my well we live here now until the main craft world can get put back together.
There is, they do have a lot going for them, and like I said the elder have the ultimate home field advantage, I know Abaddon tried to invade all the way once.
And then all the way just left, except for the seer council and some small amount of soldiers that would just pick off a space marine and then dip into some Vietnam tunnel to God only knows where.
And, and then, Eldred almost killed Abaddon.
Huge, huge, huge, once again, almost killed Abaddon come on.
narrow nearly killed.
This was, you know, war master of chaos, Abaddon.
Admiral spire immortal human killed Abaddon and then they retconned it, come on.
This is, this is, yeah, but this was a one v one fight not Nova cannon be upon you.
Not to disrespect Admiral spire, God bless them.
Fair enough, fair enough. Yeah, craft worlds are sometimes almost bordering on like eldritch locations because it can get real weird, especially old way which is probably halfway haunted or Alton SAR, which just absolutely is haunted no questions asked about it.
But they, they're, again, still probably the best place to live in the 41st millennium and a lot of else.
And I hate it.
Eli though, do you have another one for us more.
Also, also, tons of horror are the ones who fought a light talk, the space marines I don't know if that's the chapter they destroyed, I think that was a different one.
But, it's a side, the point I think it's gonna say something else and I forgot but that's all right.
So more Necron worlds, we believe in you more specifically severed worlds severed worlds are not the traditional Necron worlds because, as I said before, sometimes when you go to sleep for 60 million years, things go wrong, and then you just don't wake up.
And sometimes, nobody wakes up on a planet, and with no nobility woken up to lead the Necrons, the autonomous spirit takes over and wakes up everybody itself, and goes to its basic protocols which are just general defense, but because of how unstable I guess you could say the Necron dynasties were how much facts I mean there was
the defense protocols, calls to destroy like everything around the world but this unfortunately cannot tell the difference between living things and Necron so we will also destroy Necrons around them so they're quite a big issue.
Along with that, the spirit has very, oh we ran out of footage, it has very little ability and understanding outside of its basic protocols so these are essentially wakes up all the Necrons and puppets them to just be the shambling zombie hordes so it's even more zombie like than regular Necrons, and they're very scary.
The most famous one, probably is the Emperor of Sarcona, Sarconi Emperor something like that, which is an autonomous spirit of the Necron tomb world, taking up itself proclaimed title of Emperor, and taking over the system around it after a rad radiation storms destroyed all the memory
banks of the Necrons within the tomb. And so there's an empire of severed Necrons out there which is pretty neat. There's also actual lords and nobility made out of AI like AI copies of consciousnesses that were not able to not around.
That's not really related to this, I just think that's a cool little fact. And then also another unique Necron world that's not really around anymore is the world engine.
I have unfortunately not read this book, it's one of the few Necron books I haven't read, but there's a nice codex story about it, the new space marine codexes, and it was this planet sized, basically Death Star that could blow up planets on a whim, and the
astromytes space marine chapter all sacrifice themselves to blow it up. I did not open up my Necron notes today, so that's why I'm not talking for three hours, I'm just spitballing here.
Dark Souls 3 music would start fucking playing.
Severed worlds are pretty neat though.
They're kind of like how we get most of the older style Necrons right where it's just like the zombie board.
Very old style Necrons, just without the Katan being the actual leaders.
It's cool that they kind of kept that old version around in this form.
Yeah, like in the in the Zandrik book, they go to the center of the world and there's this, like, this Necron Lord hanging in suspension in the air holding his resurrection orb like an actual puppet. It's pretty neat.
Yeah, do we have any more donations or we do.
I need to use the restroom very badly so I will be right back. Yes. Okay, go for it.
How is Melok 50CZK. After seeing Colin's power scaling video I read half of the Zealy Sequence series books. I'm a huge fan now, but he's not great at writing characters.
Yeah, what is there about Colin? Is he a bad type of Colin?
I haven't read any in a while so I don't want to deprive the chat. Chat is finding the limit of what you boys will say out loud. What your high tolerance of depravity says about you. I'm not sure I want to know.
Appreciate it. Is this secret level Outer Worlds episode a good representation of life on Hive Worlds?
I would say no because the main character is having fun. He's kind of deluded but he's at least having fun. He's actually like, oh, I have hope. No one has hope on a Hive World, surely.
Except for the Genestealer cults in the basement. And Hive Worlds is a great place for Genestealer cults. Thank you, Bean.
Imagine chilling on a planet minding your own business only to get your soul to an app because most of your species did the Fentanyl War.
Can of a reference.
And Dragon Tamer for two. Eldritch Craftwell, Eldar Cthulhu, how?
Yeah, pretty sure. I thought I did my A's in Perk up when he said Eldritch. I think it's more in the sense of like things in Craftwell can be quite esoteric in terms of it's so far beyond what is the human, you know, what the human mind could understand.
Therefore, it almost seems like it's literally crafted from things other than this universe, which is pretty cool because Craft Worlds are, I mean, like, I mean, they are ridiculous in size, which is weird to me, like the size of moons and stuff like that.
Yeah, right.
What do you call in?
We have two, we have two.
Nothing.
Shall I read them?
Oh, this one is to me anyways. Perfect timing.
Document USA with the Fiverr. Colleen, I'm going to Kitbash.
I'm going to Kitbash a vermin lord and Vash tour together. What should I buy first? You should buy the vermin lord.
So that way you instead just build a vermin lord.
That just sounded like a cool Kitbash.
Show our fellow the Zeedri sequence or whatever it's called.
The Zeeli sequence?
Yeah, somebody was talking about that in their donation.
Oh, that's the...
The sci-fi stuff.
After watching the power scaling video.
Here he is.
No, out of everything you can give those books, he does not write characters terribly well.
They are mouthpieces for the setting, which, you know, fair enough.
It's a writing style, makes for dry dialogue, but...
I mean, we've all read a 14k book.
What?
It's an interesting comment.
I love being racist against bald people. Are they all the same race?
Yeah, you join a club.
Bald, bald, bald.
I must say, Colleen, there's a lot of bald white men in certain clubs and I think...
Alright, alright.
Damn.
GI robots are a real one.
Hands. Are we the baddies?
Are we the baddies?
As if no one knows that.
The next one coming up, boys, is again, not a huge amount, but it's a fun one though.
The next one is Fortress Worlds.
There's not too many of these because, funny enough, they actually seem to get targeted because these worlds need to be defended.
Particularly big one less recently.
Yeah, the famous one was obviously Kadia.
Kadia was obviously the main imperial bastion next to the Eye of Terror before, obviously, Abaddon, you know, abadoned it.
Dispoiled all over the place.
Other examples could include things like Vigilist.
Technically, Terror is also a fortress world because of how many defenses are on it, but it's not quite the same as what was Kadia and Vigilist.
Kadia itself was, and Vigilist, or Vigilist now is because essentially with the Cicatrix Maledictum, there's only one point they can really cross it, and that's the one.
Vigilist is like, we have Kadia at home, and that's Vigilist.
Yeah, it had a glam up though because of Kadia being essentially destroyed.
But essentially, the entire planet is turned into what you can imagine, a fortress.
So Kadia was a literal city of mazes, of fortifications, overlapping areas of fire.
Funnily enough, also, Kadia had entire areas of the planet where it was just graveyard because being on a fortress planet is, essentially the population is at all times a standing army, as it was for the Kadians.
And a fun fact on Kadia, they only, because they were certainly died in the service of the fortress world, the only way they could bury or make more space to bury people was that if the gravestones, the names had been extra, basically it was illegible because of time, that's when they'd actually dig up all the graves and then they put new graves in.
Good enough.
That's how many Kadians died in the service of...
I'm just imagining a commissar going up with sandpaper just rubbing them away like, I've got so many bodies to bury in a day.
Cool thing on...
What was on Kadia, I'm sure is a vigilance now, the actual normal everyday fashion of Imperial citizens on Kadia was like army camo and military uniform because they like the whole, was this like Kadians could assemble a rifle by the age of six or something.
Fortress was like pretty much imperiously extreme.
Could you imagine how many army and navy shops they have on Kadia?
So many.
Old Navy.
So much surplus.
It's kind of really it for... I do have another small one I might do because it's a tiny one now.
It's an Agriworld.
Agriworlds are essentially, as we were discussing earlier, hive worlds, a lot of people need to be fed across the Imperium.
Not every planet can feed its own citizenry, so they have places like Agriworlds which are essentially, they are kind of a nicer areas of the Imperium, and they're entirely planets that are designed to produce the food for other sectors.
Famously, Kalgar, the chapter master of the ultramarines, he was actually from an Agriworld as well.
So he's where literally, so some people come from places of peace like that.
They are often again like massive fields of industry farming, you know, other, you know, anything to do with food or, you know, you know, animal herding, anything like that.
But on like a planet wide scale, the planet is a business.
And it's essentially just that really, there's not as many of them, but they are very well protected as well because they are very important.
It's where the cult of the Twisted Helix comes from, the Genestealer cult.
They tainted the food and sent it out and infected other people with Genestealer stuff.
With the way Genestealer cults are written, half the freaking Imperium should be infected at this point.
The only thing about Agriworld as well is that no matter how well you defend them, you can only put so many defences when you need fields to grow food.
Just ask the Crimson Fists from an Agriworld. That was hard to defend with all those rolling fields of wheat and no gun emplacements.
They are nice though. They are nice. Compared to a hive world, they're extremely nice.
Oh, definitely.
They can, but I feel like I've read before, it's like some of them are like horrid factory farming on the worst level where the planet is just ecologically stable enough to grow food.
But it's like Monsanto's wet dream.
Highest quality American food.
I love corn syrup.
That's basically, that's my next one. Andy, what have you got next for the boys?
Next one's a bit of a shorter one. It's Feral Worlds.
Yay!
So Feral Worlds are the bottom girl of Warhammer Worlds.
Because vernacular with pimps, bottom bitches are actually like the number one girl. So like bottom girl is the other term, the antithesis.
Pre-industrial, similar to the Bronze Age, the Iron Age, if not the Stone Age in nature.
There's minimum 100,000, maximum 500,000 people. Usually they can't speak Gothic.
Usually they can't write or say more than grunts.
This is just like...
No, the main reason they're like, why are you like this? The reason they're like this is because the Dark Age of technology just kind of missed them.
Like, whoops, we didn't bring this planet up to speed. Now they can't form words. And they're eating their siblings.
I'm picturing the family guy bit. Unga bunga.
There's a lot. There's some space marine chapters with these ones. I think the Howling Griffons live on one.
And they keep it in constant state of war so that they can have the best recruits in it.
They're only good for like recruits. They're only good for, hey, we need hardy people to become space...
The Brontean Longknives from a feral world. I feel like they are.
I'm not sure. They have like a culture, so I doubt it.
Fenris is Iron Age. I remember that from the Ragnar Blackmane books.
They were rescuing a space marine and they're like, I need a boat. I'll give you some iron.
They're like, iron? Wow.
I think it's from the Mortifactors. The Mortifactors are from a feral world, but I'm not sure.
But it's like, to be fair, the Mortifactors eat people. So that's a bit of a holdout from like...
God forbid someone have fun.
I like my weak hands.
They're basically just the detritus of the stars. It's like they're only good for tiny people.
And even then it's like, what are you going to get from this planet? Not much, to be honest.
Gert.
Can you give them a lasgun? They don't know how to fire it. They don't know what a trigger is.
They don't know how to work it. They don't know what a battery is. Oh, this is a shame.
They're like meat grinder just at the front lines with a club or an axe at best.
And because of the fact that they're so like underdeveloped, a lot of space marine chapters take one glance at this planet.
So wait, you're telling me I'm going to spend all the resources to put a fortress monastery here?
And I can't get like any good resources, any materials, and I have to put so much effort...
I don't know how hardy these people are. I'd rather base my chapter on a world with like anything and then just like drag these people to the world that I live in.
So a lot of chapters prefer to just say we'll just recruit from this world. But otherwise, we ain't staying near these freaks.
We're just going to like keep to ourselves.
Crazy.
We have like, I know, like running water and there are exceptions. Every feral world under the Imperium is technically ruled by a governor who basically lives in like a cordoned off city, like the one city on the planet.
And they have a staff, they have a small populace, and they just don't interact with the natives.
They're just like, no, we're going to stay in our city and ignore the crazy people outside our walls. And we're just going to monitor them for mutations like psychics and abhumans.
And we're just going to tell the Imperial authorities when it's time to nuke the planet.
That's why we are here.
Andy hates to see it.
I'm reading what it says.
I'm the messenger.
The messenger do not shoot the messenger.
Andy wants to shoot the messenger.
I hate to see a man living a peasant lifestyle.
Also a fun fact about feral worlds, they're often rife with cornate cults who don't know they're worshiping corn. They're just happy to bludgeon each other to death with sticks.
There's also a lot of Genestealer cults, because...
Just playing around.
Why not?
Just having fun.
There's like four arms, better than two. Yay! I love this.
It's already building tall.
That's two more arms to hit people with.
I just love the idea of the governor and his men with the binoculars on the top of the site.
That doesn't look good.
Nuke button, nuke button.
And that's feral worlds.
There's not much to say apart from it's just barbaric and rubbish.
Colin?
What do we have a step up from?
After that level I hate. Man, I don't know.
It wasn't hate, I was a spit in facts.
The next one will be a pretty short one. It's a crone worlds.
So what these were, were the former capitals of the Eldar Empire.
Once upon a time they were, you know, the heart of the galaxy spanning empire that was the ancient Eldar.
They were safe, they were secure, they were just great.
Where the people on it are immortal and want for nothing. It was perfect.
And then, you know, as I've said a couple times, Eldar do Eldar, fall of Slyneash, rise of Slyneash, fall of the Eldar things.
Kind of goes downhill a little bit, you know. Oh, am I about to see?
That was greatest moment.
I was doing, I had such a good winning streak when I had the Darktide footage. I had such a winning streak.
And then just one day my team let me down so hard.
Zoning back into the Darktide footage for that incident.
Perfect timing. But yeah, then the Eldar, you know, did the thing, Slyneash happens.
We've been there, we've been here a few times today already.
And everyone on them died. Consumed by Slyneash immediately.
Now, they're kind of a subset of demon worlds.
They're not great. They're not great.
There are like a couple instances where there's things other than demons on them.
In fact, there was actually, I always forget who wrote this short story, but it was pretty cool.
Because the point of the chaos war, it was like a Black Library writer.
He wrote a short story like Posts, or it's like the life of a chaos space marine.
It can't be Gav Thorpe. No, it wasn't Gav Thorpe because it was really good.
He's written some good books though, it's weird.
He has, but you know, I'm an Eldar fan. And yeah, we got Thorpe-ed-o'd.
It's on site, whatever Eli said, on site if he sees something.
But the point of the short story was like, you know, what if, or something like that.
It's like you're a chaos space marine. What if this happens? Well, what about this?
Well, what about this? The point is that a life in the Eye of Terror is nonstop uncertainty and violence.
Like one of the potentials, yeah, maybe you set up shop on a maiden world.
Maybe your warband gets eaten by a dead Eldar god, who fucking knows?
So on maiden worlds, there are like little bits of like, there is still stuff, like remnants of what the Eldar once were.
Not much. A whole lot of demons though.
You'll see like the ghost of a Surian, I don't know, RKO, a greater demon, and then he's out.
That was his juice for the next thousand years.
But they're still very important to the Eldar, because they are the only places where spirit stones to safeguard their souls upon death are found.
So they will make these massive expeditions led primarily by wraith knights to just go and harvest them.
Get very dangerous. Not all these expeditions come back.
Very few, if any of them, come back without at least a good, decent casualty rate.
But the Eldar do need to constantly visit them, especially for the spirit stones.
And you know, sometimes maybe find a fancy looking artifact if you have the time and room and the storage.
That's really kind of it. There's not too much to them. They were the Eldar homeworlds.
Now they're where they get the stones so that when they die they don't get insta-soneched.
It's extra doubly dangerous because it's like the demons know they have to...
Oh yeah, Senesh especially. It's like, I know this is the only place in reality where the Eldar will come to me.
Dinner is served.
Eli, do you have any for editors for the boys?
Yes, well maybe. The next on our official list are Orcworlds.
Unfortunately, in all the books that I've read, the Orcs come to you.
I don't think I've read a single...
Your world is your world.
I haven't read a single book set on an Orc planet before.
They will kind of go... an Orcworld is one they've successfully taken from someone else.
Yeah, yeah.
An Orcworld is your world after they're done.
I think, if I remember correctly, it depends on how many Orcs are there,
but usually if there's not the right amount of Orcs or enough to lead them,
they turn into savage Orcs for a while until the other... I don't even know what you would call them, not bioforms.
The other types of Orcs start popping up like mechs and...
Fretching.
...Docs and all that stuff.
And then they'll eventually slowly advance into their regular Orcish society.
I imagine it's just a world full of junk and violence.
Yeah, I mean...
There isn't really much more to it.
It's a game of civilisation if you lose some of your key buildings.
It just goes back to the first stage.
There's only one or two things I would mainly need to scrape out on Orcworlds,
which was like... randomly, each of the clans just starts popping up
and they take their own favourite spot and they live in areas which are best suited to them.
So, obviously, things like speed freaks or anything like that,
or any type of unit or thing that wants you to go fast.
It'll live near planes and it will...
They mostly just do... they naturally come about on a scrap planet, essentially, like Eli said.
And there's only really one place that we know is theirs, which is Armageddon.
It's supposedly the Orc homeworld, but it's been colonised.
They took her at Jirbs and they kind of took her at...
Yeah, I think Orcs don't usually stay in the same place for a long time.
Once a war is called, they're all gonna get together and head off to go kill people.
Go ruin another world?
Yeah.
They're already on planet long enough to get together to go find a proper fight.
They're not there to really live.
They are kind of...
There is a certain point where the Inquisition looks at a planet and goes,
how many Orc spores are in the soil? No, Nuke it. No, we're not gonna root them out this rate.
We need to just get rid of this.
And one big thing about them is there's a massive downgrade in architectural artistry.
They're all copying each other, really just going for the same thing.
So that's the only thing really to it.
My next one... Sorry, is there more to Orc worlds? Are we all good?
My next one is also very quick.
It's Tau worlds. They're Imperial worlds, but nice.
That's pretty much it, if we're being honest.
They have the Tau a lot better at terraforming, so usually the climates won't be too intense.
One that comes to mind is Arkunasha, where the desert planet that Farsight fought the Orcs on,
and the people lived in these nice domed habitats.
In general, if you're living on a Tau planet, it's gonna be pretty nice.
You rarely hear about a not nice and unenjoyable Tau planet.
Do you remember the Farsight Enclave ones?
Arthas Moloch is a classic artifact one.
I know a couple things. They've got one that's just a perfectly polished glass sphere.
The Vespid live in a gas planet, so that's cool.
They live in little crystallized homes.
There's also a water-cast planet, which is very high gravity.
They're like, oh, this is very good. Weeeee!
If you're playing an endless space campaign, any of those planets are gonna be like Tau.
As long as you have the research and tech to colonize it,
and you have means to negate the unhappiness of people living there to make it a better place,
the Tau probably have it.
Really not overly fancy.
High tech, high luxury, nice planets. Tau itself is a desert planet.
Do the cast live in different areas from each other?
Not really. There are planets that have more earth-cast or more water-cast.
Borkan, I think, has more earth-cast on it. It has a lot of mining places.
Dior La has a lot of fire warriors on it.
It's like the word for hot-blooded.
I think there's also, if I remember correctly, each set that's conquered has a distinct thing.
They'll be like, oh, we cultivated this area because of the fire cast,
therefore we like this type of living.
This one's known for its engineering because the earth-cast terraformed the planet.
Then there's Boomer Heaven, where all the veterans who don't die in war, they have a sept planet where it's luxury.
Enjoy yourself. There's no war.
What? In my Warhammer, I'm not...
Send the Imperium. Blow it up. Blow it up now. They can't have this.
Dalith is the one that the Ultramarines tried to blow up and didn't.
Tried is the key word.
They've rebuilt pretty nicely, I must say.
The crew come from Peck. That's a thing. It's a pretty regular place.
They killed a lot of orcs on there.
The Tau overall enjoy hot climates like desert planets.
That's pretty much where they come from.
The hot climate, dry, arid places are best suited for the Tau population.
Very nice. Do we have any more donations?
Or should we go to the next one?
Here he is. Here he is.
Colin, could you please do the honors?
I would be honored.
Jack N, thank you for the 20.
Haven't read any Warhammer the last week, but I've been getting very high in listening to Jordan Peterson's lecture on the Bible.
And it's hilarious how often it sounds like he's talking about the warp and its gods.
And I'm gay.
Thank you, Jack N, for the 20.
What do you mean, Corn?
What do you mean by chaos? What do you mean by the warp?
The lobster.
He obfuscates, because Corn really doesn't really believe in violence.
Are you Jordan Peterson or Morty?
He does sound similar.
I'm not a chief, Jordan.
Oh, gosh.
Jordan.
This is a good one.
PFP is wonderful.
Jordan, I'm going to go to the aeteris.
You've got to push the button, Jordan.
I've got to give you a whole sordid speech. It's all part of the plan, Morty.
Geez, Rick.
Anyway, dank matter.
Thanks for dramatically improving my dreadfully dull afternoon, gents.
So how's the community Discord server coming along?
I'm in a bit of a hurry. We'll get to it. It's fine.
It'll show up when it shows up.
The giant apocalypse for £2 says, do you really like Gav Thorpe's Harlequin audio dramas?
Haven't had listened to that yet. There's so much warhammer I'm always buying.
He doesn't ruin everything he touches.
He seems a terrible good kid.
Thiago Silva, for the 10 RS.
Just, is that South African dollar? I can't remember.
It just got my salary so I could donate and ask more custodian content, please.
Oh, fair enough.
The golden boys and girls need some attention too. Getting tired of seeing videos.
They're great because they're custodies.
Glad to be how our Andy's department.
Yeah, to be fair, I've got a Sisters of Silence video out this weekend, so maybe we could do like Talons of the Emperor kind of combined.
Watch them, the Throne series.
Like, I'll watch The Throne. I love that book series. So yeah, I love me custodies in that one.
Could use that.
What's the next? Is there another one? Or is there a second go?
I've got one more.
I've got, I have one last one here for you guys.
Is it a fun one though? Because this one is Demon Worlds.
I really like it when I was excited about this because there's some stupid examples.
Demon Worlds are considered essentially entire planets that are either near warp storms, such as the Eye of Terror or like the Maelstrom or the Cyclics Manadictum.
And they are essentially fully like chaos corruption has been rampant upon their surface and it's penetrated deep into it to the point in which it's essentially similar to what Collins said about Crone World.
They are kind of ruined, but there's still a semblance of like this is still a planet.
It just looks like it's not warp. It's not like made of magic.
It's a melding of the two.
Many demons or chaos warbands or renegades often claim to these regions.
So some things are kind of like you're half in the Eye of Terror, half not really.
But essentially, it is often home to many of these things.
Lots of word barrier, I think warbands and even their homeworld currently now, like Sicaria, I think it's called something, is a demon planet.
It's like a corrupted world.
I found some fun examples of this one I thought the boys might enjoy.
There are examples of planets which are like flat or as flat as dinner plates.
So it's the size of a planet, but it's literally flat.
It's huge, it's real.
So huge, so real.
Because obviously they thought, you know, give me planet the long way.
The asteroids go to hell.
The asteroids can't comprehend the flat, the flat enjoyer.
They're like a heathen ones.
There are worlds, in quotes, surrounded by circling fireballs, which sounds like sun, just providing light and warmth, but they're just fireballs, they're not suns.
We call that a star.
Like there's multiple of them, they just rotate around.
Yeah, we call that multiple stars.
No, I mean like it's not one.
May I share a really crazy one I heard recently?
Well, it's the Corpus Brevran.
There is Lanesh Warband.
So they were created from a planet that resembles a naked man in a fetal position, and they landed on the planet and they're like, this is weird.
And then all of a sudden demons started like spewing out of its pores of its skin until like, kind of like the Flash Gitz animation,
until eventually like the face of the naked man looked down on them, on his body, and then just like gobbled them up.
And then he like eventually spat them out again.
And now they're the Corpus Brevran.
Like, what? Who wrote this?
Why is this a thing?
It turns out it didn't resemble a big naked man.
It just was a big naked man.
It was a big naked man floating in space.
What's going on?
What the fuck are you doing here?
It does get weird, but it can also range from like, it kind of like is, I hate to say it because people are going to hate me for saying it,
but like it could be like an insomniac thing of like something's just a little bit wrong, like a little bit wrong with the planet.
And someone couldn't tell.
All the way to my next favorite example, which is there are planets that are tiered worlds like gigantic wedding cakes, I quote.
Rising step by step on supporting pillars, wedding cake planet.
There's one that supposedly it claims the one that Pertorab, the demon primate Pertorab lives on.
It's just one with like has a black sun and it just essentially smoke just pulls from it the entire time.
And it is just he's on.
It's like in a in quote tangled black city is one of which actually have boiling oceans of blood spheres of fire that flow into the sky.
And there's ones where like it literally it feels like the world's upside down.
I mean, the Zinjin ones are a bit weird.
There's like a tongue one bizarre.
And then again, we have the enormous floating, the enormous bloating man that we were talking about here.
The naked guy, all those ones which are like on the tamer side, they're kind of like a dark mirror to what are the cardinal slash shrine worlds.
But they're just chaos one.
So like they look relatively normal ish.
But then they're like, oh, so everyone around here just like whips out and starts worshiping like it just gets like it's horrible.
And it's like it is literally hell.
There is always something to do on them, though.
Remember, you know, each of the chaos gods have one as for their planets.
No corn you can stab zinj.
You can scheme Nergal.
You can ship.
So Nash comes in with the final as sexual assault.
That's basically that's my last one.
Andy, you got one more.
I've got one more and it's sports worlds of the mechanicus.
So the mains of the mechanicus, everything of worth is made on these worlds, everything you need for the imperial war machine, whether it's a tonk or it's a Titan or a gun or a knife.
It's made here.
They're super densely populated.
Yeah.
And the thing is they're densely populated, kind of like a hive world.
But no one is not working.
If you're not sleeping, you're working.
And it's probably worse conditions than a hive world and only a bit less overpopulated.
But don't worry.
That's why we have lobotomies.
So everything from weapons to ammunition to armored vehicles are spewing from these manufactory, which coat the planets in dense smog, which kill all life on the planet without fail, because that's pointless.
We don't need that.
That's just taking up room where we could make factories.
You're born to live and die constructing a single component for every, every believable and idealized machine.
Imagine more like you could make like spoke of a tank.
And that's all your family line ever does day in, day out, every day until they drag you and your cold dead hands from your labor bench from it and then go right.
Your child, your son, daughter, plonk.
Now you're in charge of this bench.
Enjoy the rest of your life.
Welcome to the forge worlds.
They tend to spoil military industrial complex.
Yeah.
They support the Ashtar room.
Adeptus Astarte studies not only with weapons, but also repairing their void craft and giving them supplies.
They're independent from the Imperium technically because of the treaty of Mars.
So they can do whatever they like.
It's like, hey, Imperial man, we can lobotomize as many people as we want and you can't stop us.
It's fun.
They also have production grades per planet.
So the best is grade one known as Maximus, whilst the worst is known as rank four Tertius.
And these scales basically tell you what's the pedigree of their supply and how good quality, you know, like the the the Imperial authority comes in, just kind of goes.
Oh, that's Tertius. That's not very good.
They also, that's poop.
That's also where they, they also have a lot of Asghar religious from the populace because if they already have their minds wiped away, might as well give them a gun.
They'll do what you say.
So that's also a good thing where they get their armies from forge worlds.
And the more overpopulated it is, the bigger the army, which is a bonus.
They also have forged temples and forged cities which are ruled by Magos and Arch Magos forge masters.
And yeah, the the entire ecosystem is dead.
Just make more guns so we can shoot more stuff.
And every forge world has a particular pattern they're known for.
And because they're so reliable with just like making the stuff day in day out.
You can reliably know by the pattern of equipment like, oh, that's a Terran pattern bolter. That's what the Astarte use.
Oh, that's a Veratene version of the same gun.
But it's for the Sisters of Silence. And even though it's a smaller scale than the traditional bolter, it packs just as much punch because it's this Veratene model, and it's got its own reputation.
And therefore, each forge world is known for specific types of weapons and armaments and human rights don't exist.
I think death worlds, I think a lot of the time a death world would be more enjoyable to live on than a forge world in my mind.
For about five minutes.
If you don't live, then you get to go to Emperor Heaven and you know, still better than the forge world.
Enjoyable, a little heavy lifting.
Look, at least I'll die in the death world, but I'll die me, not okay lobotomite.
Yeah, are you telling me I can't immediately rock up to this and then understand the weakness of my flesh?
You could, but odds are you're not being a tech priest, you're being factory servitor number six trillion.
Can you imagine, like, my life's work finally made this growing nut to like a useless item.
This is, I don't know if this is true or not, but I reckon you don't even have a name, you just have like a number designation.
It's like 7-4-2-6-1-C.
Why would you need a name?
You're not worth anything.
It's usually overseers with like electro whips and stuff too.
And you sleep under your workstation.
Yeah, it's real nice. It's real nice.
Lovely.
No time off, no holidays.
Perum are the best.
Colin, I literally was about to say Colleen.
I thought I was legitimate.
Colin, what's the last one?
The last one is Exodite Worlds, but that's kind of just a maiden world that has exodites on it.
I guess the world spirit there tends to be stronger because, you know, when an exodite dies, it joins it.
And exodites tend to live in clans and they get into like little blood feuds, but it's more like a rivalry thing than actual hatred.
Because, you know, they don't want to kill each other.
It's like, I drew first blood, so now I get to hunt here.
You fuck off.
Really, an exodite world is a maiden world that has exodites on it.
That's kind of the only difference.
It's in the title.
Well, scrape in the barrel towards the end, boys.
Eli, do you have any more?
Sure. I like the planet Naver.
I don't know what it's actually classified as, but it's a nice ecclesiarchal type world.
The Ecclesiarchy doesn't technically rule this.
There's still a planetary governor and there is a separation of church and state in some old imperial decree.
I don't know if that's changed, but at least at the time of this book when it was writing, the Ecclesiarchy basically takes over the church.
And the Sister of Battle is even like, that's not supposed to happen.
That's not allowed.
The Ecclesiarchy takes over the government, sorry is what I meant to say.
But anyways, it's a very nice place.
Very religious, like St. Celestine has visited it, and there's been miracles to it, so it's a site of pilgrimage.
The middle class, upper class, the likes are all quite well off, even like your lower class slums are.
Like, it's probably not actually much different than the real world that we live in.
In fact, it's probably a bit nicer.
And the reason that is so nice is because they send all the bad stuff somewhere else.
On the moons of Neva, they send all their prisoners and poors to go work in the mines.
We're taking the dogs to the farm, guys.
We send the poors somewhere else, you see.
Yeah, like becoming Tom Segura all of a sudden.
There's a lot of nobility and there's lots of city-states, and there's like weird shadow government with the Ecclesiarchy.
There's a lot of assassinations that go on.
It was in a big civil war, and then St. Celestine and some miracles basically ended it.
And the head guy, this is spoilers for Faith and Fire, by the way, so if you want to read that book, close your ears.
Victor Lahane, actually, who's the head Ecclesiarch, was basically stealing Psykers, the fire kind, pyrokines.
He was stealing pyrokines in this gnoll keep place and experimenting on them.
So yeah, there's an underground library, this gigantic library complex that shuffles through and moves.
It's pretty cool. It's a cool planet, and I like it.
They have very weird traditions, like there's this thing where they take prisoners and volunteers for this play from when St. Celestine defeated some Eldar.
But they use live ammunition and actual weapons, and they actually kill people in the performance.
It's very many, many odd things. Many odd things.
Sounds a bit too much to me. God forbid someone have fun.
To be fair, a side note to do with the Shrine World, just a fun thing is the Ecclesiarchy worlds are so rich because everyone wants to spend their money to check out these pilgrimage sites.
It reminds me of in Seifer's book, there are so many pilgrims that go to Holy Tarek, so they're like, I want to see the Throneworld before I die.
And they spend their entire life savings to get there, and they're like, they don't know any better. It's dreadful.
There's dead people everywhere. It's polluted as hell.
But they're just like, I spent all my money to get a little momentum with the Imperial Palace while I'm here before I keel over and die in the base of the tower.
It's a Paris moment. Paris syndrome, but up to 11.
We send the poor somewhere we can't smell them.
I only thought of a random last one, which was there's worlds that are like, it's administratum worlds.
And it's entirely like, it's just accounting the entire planet. And again, you can't leave your station.
There's even that Tives episode where it's like these Kassarakan guardsmen are like, we've got to get this ammunition off world because the administratum needs it.
And they have to leave the defenders to die without ammunition. And they get to the planet.
And it's just crates upon crates upon crates upon crates of the entire environment is made of supplies.
And then this woman with a checkboard assistant comes down and goes, yeah, just put on the pile.
Hang on. We all these people died for this ammunition.
Yeah, just put it on like the millions of other cargo crates. It'll come in handy another time. But for now, we don't care.
Imperium.
Do what we got to do.
With that, though, that was kind of like, it's not see it's less a wide range of different planets there from across the galaxy.
I don't think we missed any important ones.
Everyone does. I mean, we do we say cemetery worlds. Is that the same thing as shrine worlds? I feel like they're two different things.
It was kind of the same shrine walls for dead people. Yeah.
So it's cemetery worlds. Just the dead people part. There's like fancy mausoleums that people pay a lot of money to be put in.
For an entire world. There's a cemetery. That's about it.
What's the point of spending money on this? You can't even play with it. You gone.
Damn. I would have any more donations. Yeah.
Yeah. Much. Alberta mentioned maple maple scaffolder for the five dollars.
Thank you. Hey, fellas.
Who would who would make a better duo?
Godtrick and Dante, who both want to die or Cuyfus Kane and Calgar, who are mood kindred love from Alberta.
Thank you very much. My brother and best province for real.
Damn. I wouldn't be a better duo.
Godtrick and Dante. I mean, like, the thing is, they express it in very different ways.
I think Dante is pretty healthier in that relationship.
I think you've got tracks in his life. And they and they both have axes to be fast. They could swap them over for a giggle.
Calgar is the goat. Monius Calgar is the true goat of Warhammer 40k right behind Caldo Drago.
Explode.
Hey, Andy, I missed the mask man. Anyways, I hope everyone enjoying their day.
Thank you very much. Thank you, brother. Everyone. Why does he miss the mask? Is that nice or not?
Who would I get a table with two bucks?
Thank you. Don't have two bucks. Who would last on Craftwell Beel Town the longest?
What do you mean by that? What do you mean by last?
I guess you were telling me.
Last. Thank you. Thank you.
Don't just one call. Sure.
Nick, Nick, 3587. Unfortunately, the kin don't have worlds because that would mean GW acknowledges there.
We completely forgot about bloody leagues of OTA.
So did everyone else.
What were they called before the Demi like Demiurge? That's not the Demiurge. Demiurge is what God left behind.
They're like a subsection of the leagues. They're like they work with the town. Yeah. Yeah. They're like a small sector of them.
Yeah, I can't believe they're an army, bro. It's such a way.
All right. Are there do we know leagues of OTA and lore?
This is like playing League of Legends and you're playing with your friend who's not good at it.
Do we know about any of their plays? Surely, at least one of us knows something about the play.
They have mine worlds that have like their central computers.
Asteroids and stuff probably. I feel like I read that. Rock and Stone. There we go. It's in the chat.
They have one book. It's just it's just Wikilore. You can just read the Wikilore if you want to learn about Votans.
Unfortunately, it's just how it is. No one else will. There's one book that someone wants to learn about Votan.
If people like them. We need Arthur Bones back.
There are people who like Warhammer lore and then the mentally unwell because they like links.
Like Horace Heresy fan. Real. So we're so we imagine like in the Horace Heresy. Could you imagine?
Compared to hundreds. I can't imagine because they're Salamander's books.
It's a bad Salamander book is worth the equal amount in Votan hate.
Wow. I enjoy hating the Votan more than I enjoy anything else about Warhammer.
I was kidding. Man just wants to wrap his mouth around a Space Marines ball.
That's not true. I actually was about to get an Eldar on me because I thought that.
Never mind. That was amazing. I want to get Ogre spearhead as well, man.
I'm just going to say. I hope everyone enjoyed that episode. We particularly enjoyed.
Some of the planets are just goofy, man. Straight up.
Harmony is another cool planet.
Oh, man. It's been a while since I've read for the Fabulous Bible books, but it's like a planet that is slowly blowing up.
It's like in chunks, but it's very slowly blowing up. You can always hear music, something like that.
That's all I see.
Tristan. Oh, yeah. That was a maiden, a tomb world and a maiden world and a civilized world.
Karnak is an important exodite world that Anarkir, the Traveler, blew up and gave Trace in the world spirit.
There you go.
The question I had left in my brain sucks to be me.
We have a question of the week, though, for everyone listening.
There is that question.
We actually remember this. It's been a bit of a while.
The one from last week, though, was how would you handle Stirland?
Andy, I believe I did send the responses, but I have them pulled up as well.
Yeah, if you want to read them out, you can, because I know you were there one helming that episode. I wasn't there.
Of course.
Rarestpepe3815, hashtag Stirland. Just give the province over to the ogres in exchange for them joining the Empire. After all, the halflings can get their own land. Why not their superior cousins? So true.
Eat every Stirlander. Cook them in a stew, get rid of them, kill them.
Oh, you could make a Stirlander fry.
I hate Stirlanders.
The next one from Sweetness71775, hashtag Stirland.
Thanquil tries to obliterate Altdorf because he knows Gottrick and Felix are there and nothing short of a nuke will kill Dwarf. That's fair.
Because Thanquil is such a coward, he's going to magically teleport the nuke to the Emerald Palace, but he huffed too much warpstone and the nuke detonated in the heart of Stirland.
Dude, huge, huge. Please write for Black Library.
Justice for Stirland. Can't beat the Stirlander.
Thanquil falsely blames one of his underlings for giving him tainted warpstone, and Gottrick and Felix still have no idea who Thanquil is or the fact he's responsible Stirland is now a smoking crater.
Wow. So huge.
And then the last one from Slithe291, hashtag Stirland. Tell Settra someone there is planning on making a bigger pyramid than his. So true.
So true. Turn all of Stirland into skeleton warriors.
The Reiklander hates to see a Stirlander pooping on somebody else.
Virus bomb in the heart of Stirland. Send the fleet of Particular Justice and glass Stirland. Get rid of it. Kill all of them. I hate Stirlanders. They're subhuman. They're apes. They're animals. I despise them. I want them all dead. I want them hung from the street.
You had to go at me for my feral world spit. Come on.
No, but I'm just because these aren't humans. They're Stirlanders.
I have a question which is how many Stirlanders are worth one human being?
Inquantifiable.
Crazy. We do have another question of the week for our awesome boys here.
The question of the week is a nice and simple one.
What planet would you live on?
Hashtag homestead. Give us your reasons. And they can be ridiculous reasons.
And also, I mean, we can be creative with which planet. I mean, you could live on it for a bad reason or a really bad reason. So give us your things there. That's what planet would you live on? Hashtag homestead.
We'll do one more donation as well.
You from Tom.
$5.00. Dude, let me let me at him. Tom Warren with the five. Thank you. Sterling once had a massive ghoul problem because so many of his people turned to cannolism. It just sucks. It's just the works in every way.
Get rid of it.
It's a mercy killing in total war. Take it over as a vampire. It's brutal conquest. It's a fucking mercy.
They were asking for it. That's the problem. If they were asking for it, they'd all politely go die.
Colin, Colin destroyed the ocean.
Colin destroyed destroyed Sterling and that is self-defense.
500 giga cloud.
On that fuckhole problem.
Oh yeah. With that, they hope everyone enjoy the episode. If you guys are still listening and you're actually fall asleep to this law, don't wake up.
That was sinister. Wow.
I thought you meant like don't wake up in the other way. That was very sinister.
Mike, Mike, Mike did beat you to like and subscribe.
I have to do it. I guess the effort won't end. I don't say it. Thank you everyone watching. We have merch. We have a Spotify one stuff.
If you guys listen to it this far, like is obviously really helpful. Hope you guys all enjoyed it. Got some cool stuff. Next week is trench crew. So was it the week after I think we got next week.
I guess next week's probably and then the week after that will be theoretically.
We'll see. We thank you guys so much. We love you all. Thank you for all the donations has been amazing and we'll see you all very soon. Peace.
Love you Sterling number one.
I'm going to kill you.
Yeah.
