Warhammer 40k

IIRC, the AdMech found out the Dark Eldar were going to fuck with the Golden Throne in addition to fixing it. I think they would've put in something to let them slip into Terra for some raiding, but I could be wrong.

Nope. The Dark Eldar would fix the Throne, since they need mankind alive, but also wanted to make a clone of the Emperor to close the warp rift in Commoragh. The deal was letting them raid a planet of 19 billion.
Really, thats actually a very small number, considering that the Flesh Tearers once just allowed 300 billion imperial citzens to die, but thats another story.

I legit think they are more interesting as a unironic force for good, but I kinda like how more cynical they've gotten the more they experience the wider universe. A rogue trader sequel would be perfect for exploring their society more.

The first page of the first Tau codex opens with them bombarding a city for daring to say no after they decided they wanted their planet. The Tau commander just say "its a shame, but we chosen this planet"

I doubt GW will explore their society, not with Phil Kelly being the only person interested in the Tau for 20 years until finally the Dark Coil guy and JC Stearns published some stuff. Like Voice of Experience is a civilian story, how many of those we got?

The only reference I remember of Marines ruling people like that is Badab, so they probably get slapped down hard if they float the idea.

Yes. Part of the background is that the Imperial armed forces are seperated so the Horus Heresy 2.0 doesn't happen and that's why the Guard doesn't have a organic air wing (because flying assets are under the Navy) and the Mureehns are entirely outside of the command structure. Same reason why most chapter worlds aren't actual civilised planets but primitive or post-apocalyptic hellholes full of Grug-tier savages.

Thats also because of culture, Rites of Battle gave a detailed explanation in 2011.
Marines are living weapons, they are assholes who eat slop and drink fuel and so they cant get why people need to be given something to remain loyal. These guys wont see a reason to recruit "weaklings" who lack a "survival instinct" because they didnt had to kill 200 foreskin hunters by age 3.
Civilized worlds that recruit marines do this by being absurdly militarist, where the peak of society is seem as given your son to be turned into a inhuman killing machine, or die trying.
Marines are bad rulers 99% of time, even the "good ones", because to them loyalty is its own reward, if dave the poop cleaner revolts because he is submerged in shit 18 hours a day, its his fault for not being loyal.
Ultramarines are the exception because Guilliman was raised by a good human ruler, and not a tyrant like Perturabo's dad

How long till they pull the ripcord and take the Emperor off the golden throne?

The cord attaches to the throne's bottom for refuse takeout, so if they pull it out shit will figuratively and literally spill all over Terra. Better not fix what's not broken yet.

It makes you wonder how there wasn't any exploration of Marines supplementing their campaigns with Chapter Serfs en masse. Is there a codex constraint to how many people and what kind of people Space Marines are allowed to swear to serfdom under them? I know Chapter Serfs are failed candidates from their recruitment worlds or people they drag along to crew their monasteries or ships. I can imagine some shenanigans where some Chapters just swear billions of people into Chapter serfdom and treat them like their own personal Imperial Guard. The only reference I remember of Marines ruling people like that is Badab, so they probably get slapped down hard if they float the idea.

The serfs who are failed aspirants seem to be handwaved by them having fucky wucky issues. Some Space Marine chapters work closely with guard regiments and PDF, The Crimson Fists worked closely with their planet's Militia, and when Baal got fucked the BAs were bros to the Guard and PDF
 
Ok, so one thing ot remember is that marines arent us, they arent seeking all the time for ways to dodge the codex, even chapters that ignore the codex like the Space Wolves arent 24/7 keeping track of marine numbers or trying to find how far they can get without anyone noticing.

Serfs rarely go to battle because, they arent needed, or are more valuable outside of battle. What use is to throw your 200 serfs into the enemy when they will be cut down by tyranids, since unlike the guard they dont got tanks or artilery for support? Put these 200 guys to keep the ship floating, keep the guns from breaking and they are worthy a hundred times their number.

The Ultramar Auxilia doesnt go around with every Ultramarine ship, they remain on Ultramar because they arent made for long campaigns in the void. If you need serfs in battle, you need good weapons for them, the Mentor Legion got it, but they are explicitly basically a way of the High Lords to test how much advanced a chapter can be.

Failed aspirants should also be the minority on the Serfs anyway, 99% are just generational slaves who are there since the chapter started.

What a fucking baby. All he does is summarize shit from wiki articles and GW books, acting like he's doing the world some great service. Bitches about the art, mentions he pays artists to make art, but HE has done so much for the world regarding 40k art or some shit, yes what a fucking philanthropist.

Also complains about an AI channel using a female voice instead of his shitty, while removing the unnecessary swearing and gay shit from his scripts, and already getting up to 10k subs. This should be a sign that maybe the mainstream general audience isn't interested in your cringe bullshit.

Basically dude is angry because his channel has fallen way off from just a couple years ago when tons of people jumped into 40k due to being bored with covid lockdowns and shit, and the recent boost he's gotten in subscribers and views is due to SM2 which won't last forever, when he was on a downward trend prior to the launch of the game.

I play Necron and Tau while my wife plays Tyranid so we don't have to worry about any of that crap. Though she's thinking about playing Orks because she thinks the whole colour thing is funny.

Basically this. The only "service" they're providing is being in the background for people doing something where they can't just read a wiki page themselves. Once some of the mispronunciations get resolved, it won't matter if it's an AI or some faggot in australia reading it into a microphone. Maybe some people would rather hear a woman that doesn't sound like she's about to do a voiceover for an outback steakhouse commercial and tell me about a blooming onion immediately after talking about a space marine taking it up the ass.

This kind of reminds me something from years ago. Destiny was a FPS game that after almost a decade of development had the story ripped out at the last minute. Most of the lore was put in plain text of "cards" on the official website. Thus there was a cottage industry of people making lore videos, basically collating cards on a theme and reading or summarizing them. What matters here is that the sequel had the story in the game itself. This made lore channels mad because some had made a career reading Destiny cards and now the sequel was going to rob them of that.

What are the worthwhile 40k YouTubers?

There's a few I've found that are okay, but one thing I notice is that YouTube really like to push Uncle Adam/Tabletop Minions, and Midwinter Minis, both of which are dumb for their takes (Adam threw a tantrum because he was called a tourist, Midwinter Minis for saying that playing World War 2 games makes you a nazi.). I'm guessing they're favoured by the algorithm because they push the political correct narrative while generally being inoffensive.

Majorfaggot, more like. It's always the people who have nothing to offer that freakout the most about AI.

Speaking of, member that David Attenborough 40K channel? I really liked that one. Sir David talking about goofy Ork shit or detailing the horrors of The Warp was just too good. Pretty sure the dude who ran the channel had to stop with David's voice because he started trying to monetize it :story:

midwinter minis is a faggot for far more than just that, and tabletop minions frankly I'm tired of hearing about One Page Rules or some other random thing that'll be dead in a week because he doesn't like playing with more than 5 models at a time anymore. Fortunately there's a pretty good number out there for batreps, covering the history of the game and company itself rather than just lore, and so on.
