Are they a genestealer cult too?

That sounds like a genestealer cult.

Notify the Arbites, the TI has been compromised.

What if they're a genestealer cult by making us turn to the four armed god....

Get the flamer brother. The Heavy. Flamer

We're pretty much gonna have to declare exterminatus on this one.. The whole system, just to be safe.

Looks like they got themselves an infestation

Glad I'm not the only one to notice.

Can I introduce you to either Alex bale, conspiracy Carl, happy meat farms, the cynical critic, or the paradox series?

I was about to write the exact same thing XD

Together with the WEF and the WHO

Well,we may have just stumbled onto something huge

I wouldn't worry about it

not at all, come by a wellness center and I'd be happy to show you around.

It's actually a genestealer cult

yeah... sounds abit ... culty.

@@unknownhours I'm still not convinced they aren't doing a bit, because that is straight up the same propaganda a GSC would use

@@unknownhours anything that sounds super optimistic in this day and age sounds like a cult.

on the contrary

Give it a try, I heard it is fantastic, you connect with people like if you shared mind with them!

I for one do welcome some help dealing with life's little indignities, and would value a sense of community and belonging. Everyone should consider making a suitable icon to hang in their windows and just... let the Representative in

Certified @bdunkelman pun, right there. "Out with a Yang!"

"Just mark your door with this symbol and a representative will come to see you" *horror*

An absolutely masterful touch. ❤

Prise the Omnissiah and join the Priesthood of Mars. The cogbois have many, many arms and are... mostly human.

It's a very specific type of safe: you will almost certainly die painfully, but your cause of death probably won't be Slaanesh or Tyranids.

ideally you'd never be in the position where you have to choose between Tyranids and Commorragh

@@TemplinInstitute Ideally you would never be in a position where Commorragh is a valid choice period. Or at least, is not the better of two options.

@@SephirothRyu still im taking the nids

@@kenrudd6362 That is because you are delicious.

joining a community of welcoming people is it's own reward.

Yeah, kind of a brilliant gag, innit? The "sponsor" is very obviously a Genestealer Cult with a modern, secular "Come Join Us And Be Welcome!" friendliness to it... and then you remember that this is how Genestealer Cults get ya by the short-hairs. ...Especially in a setting where this kind of getalong fluff means sweet F-all, because IN THE GRIM DARKNESS OF THE FAR FUTURE, THERE IS ONLY WAR.

I guess those warnings that Templin's multiverse gates posed a risk of contamination finally came true. At least they've got access to Star Trek tricorders. Genetic scans and disposal of infected personnel should be pretty straightforward.

@@Grizabeebles The Templin organization are the proverbial "Those Fools At The Institute" all the Mads won't shut up about. They place too much stock in "The Prime Directive" and treating the doings of the multiverse as something to coldly and clinically observe, as if sentient beings are just rats in a maze. Small wonder they'd let a breach like this through... Luckily, the Tribunal Of The Imagination deals more in forging bonds and alliances than in mere "observe-and-catalogue." One of our members is even an Aeldari Great Harlequin with ties to the Space Wolves, the Leagues Of Votann and the Farsight Enclaves. We also deal in magic as well as technology... from psychic parlor-tricks to The Power Of Grayskull- real primal, dawn-of-time, center-of-all-creation stuff. From Eternia to Eberron to the Discworld to the edge of all time and space- WE ARE THE TRIBUNAL OF THE IMAGINATION! WE PLEDGE WHIMSY FOR ALL, TO DEFEND THE WEAK AND VANQUISH THE EVIL!

They're what? "Like the offspring of a krogan and a rachni?" Yeah, sure they are... [Reaches for the panic button]

Yeah, they're more like what the Arachnids from "Starship Troopers" and the Zerg from "Starcraft" wanna be when they grow up. With a soupcon of Galactus, Devourer Of Worlds... Galactus has his Heralds, the 'Nids have the Genestaler Cults.

I remember reading somewhere (Probably 1d4chan) that genestealers have a hard time expanding within ork territory beecause the other orks inmediatly notice how un-orky they are. Thus, they are quickly killed.

Don't worry! I'm sure their quite happy. In fact, if you go over and have an honest discussion with them, I'm sure you'll find some... common ground. It might even change your outlook on life!

Warhammer conspiracy: Mormons are a gsc

Thanks for the warning.

Not a bad thing, after all The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, has done more to help people and maintain its core principles than the other major religious organizations. Oddly enough while the Jews were prosecuted time and again in Europe. Members of The Church were wrongly labeled as a cult which allowed entire states to strip members of their constitutional rights and began to systematically try and destroy the organization while it was still young. To this day the Mormon battalion was the only army unit totally comprised of members because of the hatred toward them. That battalion later founded what would be called Ft. Erwin a massive NTC for brigade-size units. Now, in my opinion, the Church's greatest accomplishment was two things, one maintaining its principles despite threats from other parties. Two doing more to invent and help improve society than any other group. One of the Saints that millions know of an entire governments use his inventions and designs every day is John Moses Browning. The inventor of modern firearms and one whose machine gun the M2 browning holds the longest service life of any machine in existence. Thank you and stay healthy.

Hope that babe of yours would one day grow up to become our blessed Patriarch!

That sounds like an awesome game that I would totally buy.

I think there is some of that on the global influence part of Terra Invicta. You can even play as alien colaborators trying to give Earth to the xenos.

A game like this could also work with a chaos cult.

@@Pacster15 I instantly thought of a mod for Cultism Simulator

I've personally been waiting for GW to do something like that for chaos cults myself.

Um... didja see the sunburst? THEY'RE A GENESTEALER CULT, YA DINGUS.

@@thetribunaloftheimaginatio5247 Are you sure? You're sounding a little stressed and paranoid. Why don't you come to one of our meetings? I'm sure we'll find a place for you.

@@setyourhandlex Yeah... a place. IN A HIVE TYRANT'S LARDER. I'm not joining you with the rest of the hanging meat.

understandable, thank you for your service.

Knowing 40k engineering, those tanks will be none the less ready for combat exept maybe if one has a diabetic machine spirit.

I thought tyranids are highly resistant to Chaos.

@@miles2378, generally that's true but if the Genestealers are cut off from the Hivemind or get hold of humans who are already part of a Chaos Cult, things can get weird.

@@enoughothis The idea of a some genestealer cut off from the tyranid hivemind and becoming an independent force is an interesting premise

@@user-unos111 Not really. Genestealer cults are all cut off from the Hive Mind unless a hive fleet is in-system and their planet is about to be invaded. Genestealer cults are connected by a Broodmind that is broadcast by the patriarch broodlord that first initiated the infection. But that patriarch acts on genetically programmed instinct so far from a Hive Mind synapse network. Which means, no Hive Mind uplink, and if the patriarch gets corrupted by Chaos (e.g. a Nurgle plague) the Broodmind gets corrupted and the entire cult falls to Chaos (or in that case, Nurgle -- e.g. Genestealer Cult Tenebrous).

That's old lore

Inquisitor : " in the eyes of the emperor it's not " pulls the trigger on a bolter to the skull

Maybe if the Emperor had a pair of cyberdo-- wait a minute?!?! HERETIC KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!

Yeah? it's those "two armed" fellows you need to worry about, I hear they may be corrupted by chaos! praise be to the hive fleet!

Four legs good, two legs bad

@@JoshuaC923 *bleating like a sheep* Four legs good! Two legs better!

The endless repeats of "raises bolter" "inquisitor this X here" and "exterminatus" should show the 40k community isnt exactly good with humor or all that intelligent

It took me entirely too long to realize it wasn't a regular youtube ad😅

Nah that’s ridiculous. They’re still bald guys with weird skin complexions… they’re not changelings

@@FrogEnjoyer17 No, but you can have people who just look like other people, and... I don't know the state of plastic surgery in 40k, honestly.

I am Alpharius

@@tyrongkojy it's less the status of plastic surgery and more the myriad of other things that can, will, or are even intended to disfigure regular humans in 40K, which they can then pass themselves off as, that you've got to worry about. Is that Guard recruit a 4th gen genestealer or was the hive city block he grew up in next to a chemical factory? The new tech priest never takes off her mechanical mask, but most tech priests are like that so its probably nothing to worry about. Yes, all the new crewmen the impressment gang rounded up do look a little weird, but I've heard the mutant makes up most of this world's population. And so on and forth

I don't believe Yarrick was a Hybrid, but I find it interesting that you mention him. Facts: During Ghazghkull's first invasion, Herman von Strab refused to send out a distress call to the Imperium at large, declaring his confidence that the forces of Armageddon could drive back the Orks. Offworld forces already on the planet were systematically sidelined (like a certain troublesome Commissar who was exiled to Hades Hive) or sent into fights they were incapable of winning (like the Iron Skulls Titan Legion). Shortly after the 2nd Armageddon War, Genestealers were discovered in Infernus Hive, a situation which the Blood Angels resolved by nerve-gassing the Infernus underhive. Conclusion: Von Strab's actions *might* be due to simple incompetence... but they would be entirely consistent with the actions of a highly-placed Cult devotee, attempting to systematically undermine Imperial assets outside his own chain of command, and avoid offworld scrutiny.

It’s so damn funny to me 😂

@@kiravatheargonian Refuge in audacity.

I like the idea of Blume.

Xeno scum detected, time for a purge

YES CANONESS, THIS COMMENT RIGHT HERE!

*Maintains eye contact whilst slowly reaching for his Bolt Pistol*

Can you hear us over this noise?!

@@leeboy26 You shoot, while I alert the Inquisition.

I hoping Necrons are the final mission surprise 3rd faction.

@@eingel7139 Maybe not final mission, but at least last third. Also, I imagine the Necrons' anti-psyker shenanigans would probably throw a Hive Fleet into disarray. Is that a thing in Necron-Tyranid match-ups?

@GmodPlusWoW tyranids havent been shown to give a damn about blackstone. The effect it has on psykers is suspiciously similar to their own shadow in the warp, possibly implying a connection.

At least you are enlightened now, Brother. Come, let us purge this world of xenos filth and restore the light of the fal- I mean, the God-Emperor.

Populist objection to the horrific status quo of the setting that in the Taus case is simply too weak to actually fix the setting and in the cults case is literally just a world devouring monster trying to play on the deep set systemic problems within the setting to make it easier to eat. In both cases they're doomed to failure and death in the long term but there's something relatable about that drive to improve conditions that is somewhat absent in other factions.

"No...Yes."

What does it mean

I mean, someone being implanted by a genestealer is easy to spot with the right technology. The tau and craftworld Eldar probably have universal healthcare and mandatory check ups that can spot genestealers, orks reproduction is probably incompatible and necrons are robots, so overall it does make a decent amount of sense for them to not have genestealer cultists. Exodites would have no way to spot stealers so they should have some, squats I have no clue. Dark Eldar, however; are the optimal hosts. Commoragh is extremely anarchic and they regularly bring genestealers there. There should be druikhari genestealer cultists!

@@ultragilig1670 yeah all of that Lore is very clearly just excuses as to why Xeno's Genestealer Minis arent happening.

@@jakespacepiratee3740 all that lore existed before modern genestealer cults, except for squats so you’re incorrect, although it does still excuse the lack of tau, ork and necron genestealer cultists. I’m also unsure wether you read my comment as I literally point out that dark Eldar genestealers make loads of sense. Considering GW’s annoying aversion to anything xenos, one of the few things that is naturally excusable seems an odd hill to die on.

All life eliminated? Someone's got a bad case of the Destroyer virus. You know that plan ends with the destroyers killing themselves too, right?

Genestealer and Slaneshi intergang warfare must be very confusing.

I think there are cases of genestealer cults falling to chaos... Does that count?

So in other words Genestealers : " Jack it, jack it, jackety-jack Spankin' it, spankin' it, smackety-smack. " Jackin' it, jackin' it, jackety-jack. Spankin' it, spankin' it, smackety-smack. JACKING FOR THE LORD! "

"how I infected your mother"

Yeah they're so trustworthy until they bend you over putting gene in your butt. That makes you spread their weird freaky deaky disease everywhere.

@@wolfbane7497 I dont think ive had the phrase 'freaky deaky' used on me since grade school

Nope. But given the subject...

Genestealer cults don't work with any hive fleet barring very specific exceptions (e.g. cults near Hive Fleet Tiamet). Genestealer cults are devoured alongside all the other biomass on a planet once the hive fleets arrive. That's not special though. The vast majority of tyranid warrior-forms get broken back down and recycled into biomass sludge for easier transport following an invasion. Very little actually survives a tyranid invasion. Once the Hive Mind extends to the cult's system, the Broodmind is subjugated, the cultists are sent into an inhuman killing frenzy, and right before the end when the Broodmind collapses (due to the patriarch being killed or fleeing the system) the cultists get a moment of lucidity before they, too, are consumed. The cult will often send out a handful of members to keep spreading the invasion before the tyranids reach them, though, so usually the cult isn't entirely exterminated. But there is no 'working alongside tyranids'.

The whole space marine video was about how 40K has a loose cannon that is self-justified by the Imperium's unreliable record keeping. There's a whole section talking about the origins of the genestealer cults being uncertain and how the archives have been un- and rewritten multiple times to accommodate new or contradictory information.

if this was too complex for you, there's a bunch of kids videos that are probably more your speed.

@@TemplinInstitute I somehow doubt that those vids you mentioned would explain to me how is it, that a lore analysing channel starts a debate on "hot" topic, saying that something may exist in a particular universe despite a lack of any proof, solely because there is no canon and everything is a matter of subjective perception of said universe, and then they forget to add that remark to another video from this universe. So what, it's ok to present something nonexistent as possible, even probable, because there's no canon, but we take something else for granted, despite there's no canon? Shouldn't this "no canon" remark be added to every video presenting the aspects of the universe in question? Oh wait, then whole magic of every alternative world is gone and the videos aren't even half as entertaining. Could it be, that all of it is done for entertainment (i.e. number of views and monetary value), at the cost of reliability? This channel was always a reliable source of information on alternative worlds, so I wonder what changed. I also doubt the "kids videos" mentioned would answer that.

@@TemplinInstitute on a more serious note, and dropping the passive aggressiveness (as well as, I hope, "kids videos" type of answers), I've always considered your channel a solid and reliable source of information presented in an entertaining way, but i saw it as facts and solid info from the other worlds first, entertainiment later. You've made a ton of good videos where you explored different aspects of fictional worlds, not to mention the more "educational" vids like the ones about flags, navy, state names etc. That's why it felt so off to see you getting into a debate about something that's hotly debated and defending your point with "there is no canon, so one can fit whatever one wants into 40k universe" argument. Yes, we can certainly say that there is no canon in this particular universe and everything depends on our individual, subjective perspective, that's undeniably true. But if we apply this logic to one thing in the universe, we must apply it to all of its aspects. That's what's reliability. That's what I've so far seen on your channel. Take your video on the war between the New Republic and the First Order. You've said specifically, that this was an absolutely individual, non canonical, altered version of the story. And it was great and felt natural, mainly because it was stated from the beggining that it's an alternative version of events. Saying that something may exist solely because there is no canon and everything is subjective is just lazy when analysing alternative worlds (mainly because this argument can be used in regard to almost every fictional universe, because almost all of them have some contriving facts and canon conflicts).
