  I'm so glad you watched this one. The way he introduces Slaanesh gives me chills.

  For a game that gives you a really good, broad overview of the WH40K world, Rogue Trader is probably one of the easiest recommends. It gives you a glimpse into a lot of different factions and subfactions and allows you the freedom to be dogmatic and adhere strictly to Imperial creed, Iconoclast in that you may compromise the creed if doing so will (in your opinion) lead to a better outcome for the people affected or outright heretical with all that this implies. <br><br>It doesn&apos;t shy away from the harsher parts of life in the Imperium, but gives you enough power to meaningfully intervene if you so choose. <br><br>Highly recommended.

  Rogue Trader (BG3 in WH40k) is a great game and an excellent entry point. I like that it has an in-game encyclopedia.

  Idea for you: &nbsp;your own successor chapter for the Salamander&apos;s painted in your colors but instead of flamers they all use lightning weapons

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5EBes2GGJk&amp;t=300">5:00</a> that cackle is such a funny response compared to most other content creators that Bricky calls out on reacting to his videos.

  you can see how much Bricky has learned going through his video essays like this. <br><br>Both as a man of the hobby and as a YouTube.

  As far as tabletop models go, Imperial knights and Titans are some of the biggest and most expensive models (most factions have some knight/titan type models) but they make for a great canvas for painting and creativity mostly cause, titans especially, are very detailed so you can go nuts

  Fun fact, while at the time of this video there are FOUR chaos gods, there is vaguely canon material in the franchise that indicates there are EIGHT gods, or at least the potential for 8.<br>In addition to &nbsp;Khorne, Tzeentch, Nurgle, and Slaanesh, the lore indicates four more gods: The Pater Mutalis (god of evolution/adaptation), Malal (the god of anarchy), The Dark King (likely Big E if he falls to chaos), and The Malignant Artifice (Presumably Vashtorr, if he achieves divinity) It&apos;s really fascinating actually.<br><br>And yes, bushido necromancer elves who need phylacteries (the soul stones) to save themelves from eternal damnation are really cool.

  A bit more Eldar context:<br>The Exodites were the first sub-faction to leave regular Eldar society, long before Slaanesh was born; however they still use spiritstones and put them into the World Spirit (similar to the craftworlds&apos; Infinity Circuit, but based on their planets (maiden worlds).<br>The Craftworld Eldar were traders that spent long stretches travelling in said craftworlds. &nbsp;This mostly kept them separate from the parts of Eldar society that really caused the problems.<br>The Harlequins tell historic stories with their performances, with different regular performers for specific roles. &nbsp;The troop leader is the Great Harlequin who plays their god Cegorach or other grand heroes; the Shadowseer plays sorcerors or the cosmic energy of the universe (they are active psykers and add illusions with their powers), the Death Jester plays death and fate.<br>There is another very mysterious type of harlequin called a Solitaire, and they are psychic blanks (which is particularly rare in a generally psychically powerful race) and they take on the role of Slaanesh, a role that would send a normal harlequin mad if they tried to perform it.
