It's even funnier that the most powerful Necron weapons were all destroyed after the Necrons shattered the C'tan meaning that all the overpowered weapons they have now were not considered powerful enough to be destroyed. The Eldar superweapons too require massive amounts of psychic energy that the current Eldar simply wouldn't be possible now due to the Eldar being bound to Slaneesh.

So many powerful things out of the war in heaven survived, yet we know for a fact that this is just a tiny minority of those that were being used back then. Truly fascinating. Hard to belive, that the war in heaven still only spread over one galaxy. But I think it could easily be theorized that the waring factions were responsilble for the annihilation of the dinosaurs of our terra without even realizing it. I love this.

the retcon gun sounds like the perfect weapon to use on Chaos daemons, especially on Khorne, Nurgle, Slaanesh and Tzeentch. also, it should be used on Kor Phaeron, Lucius, Erebus. and it *absolutely* needs to be used on Vashtorr. vengeance for Caliban is its own reward.

One shouldn't play with ripping holes in reality. Especially with chaos. And a physical object they can walk off with. And replicate themselves. No some things should stay buried. Its not a concept that should ever exist or even be studied. Its the chaos one can cause by erasing whole threads of reality. Mankind in 40k redeveloping this would undo its own existence. Anarchy law of no laws therefore can't exist as it's self-destruction is inherently written in its creation. Paradox.

Not really because you can't weaponise it in that way. The death that slaanesh caused was like it was eating it's first meal and it wasn't unique to the eldar.

We always hear that after the war in heaven they won and were so powerful that the Necrons decided to take a 60 million year nap in the hopes that they would be gone by then. If the Necrons had so many powerful weapons in the war in heaven, what were the Eldar running around with that made them bow out of the fight?

Psychic powers is my guess but i agree. Necrons should be steam rolling. Also I was told the Eldar were also assailed by those warp creatures afterwards. Not exactly chaos aligned and I can't remember the name of them... One of the first ones. Mind flayers? Similar to psychneuein on Prospero. God damn it is on the tip of my tongue and going to bug me. Anyway remember before the WiH the warp wasn't nearly as chaotic and so they had to deal with that. Anyway I believe the true history is that the war devastated both races so bad they came to a truce with the agreement that the C'tan needed to go. Then the Necrons agreed to slumber for suitable life to propagate for new bodies while the Silent King went off to do uhhh... Whatever. Remember he had the protocols and destroyed them AFTER the command. I also know Necron worlds were attacked but they always cost so much lives that the Elder decided to just leave them be. Millenia passed and the true history of the truce was forgotten. Then humanity screwed it up with the HH.

The Eldar had their Gods (especially Khaine that fucker) he was actually pretty OP then, probably planetary level. A small percentage would be those worshipping the laughing god, the life goddess and that one builder god and etc... And like 99% worshipped Khaine. Every single Eldar that was born was bred for war and war only and who was the god of war? Khaine. Also they had the blackstone fortresses, Webway and probably massive world ending shit on their MASSIVE ships too like giant lances n shit. Either way, they also had op stuff but yeah they were losing, even with the krorks fighting with them, they were loosing. Also fucking hell but their psykers back then we're told to lift continents and crush entire mortal armies with a single flick of their dick. Back when eldar psykers didn't have slaneesh chase their balls everytime they used warp spaghetti, they were pretty op. Also a single khainite warrior back then which was said to be like the run of the mil normal foot soldier is said to be so powerful, they'd probably beat every single phoenix lord the Eldar has today, maybe have a bit of a hard time with Morgun Ra? That skull grim reaper fuckin dude but still, they we're pretty fucking op. AND TRAZYN HAS ONE LOCKED UP IN HIS BASEMENT! If that doesn't give you enough to put to scale how op both sides were, idk what will

The Eldar lost the war in heaven. Which pretty much ended when the C'tan and necrons bullied the old ones out of existence. However, with the C'tan weaker from the non stop fighting the necrons rebelled against the C'tan before they recovered. Just after they sealed the C'tan the Enslaver plague began on the galaxy and necrons noped out. Since enslavers are warp entities Necrons didn't really have a defense against them, so the silent king ordered all his people to sleep and let the time of the eldar age out and the galaxy heal. But yeah, Necrons pretty much won and chose to be free instead of finishing the less dangerous eldar and Orks off, which was probably the smart idea when you read up about full power C'tan. for example: When Aza'gorod the nightbringer fought the full blown Khaine (in his prime), he lost... but when you destroy the c'tan bodies that were made by the necrons for them, they just turn back into their huge space gas/energy forms. so he just went and got a new one, meanwhile the shattering of that c'tan body permanently injured kaela mensha khaine. So summary: C'tan OP

I believe that the Ontological Rifle is actually a meme of sorts - a sort of in-universe explanation (and thus, a sort of sly joke in our world) that talks about how certain things in the thirty-five-odd years worth of lore have been “retconned”. It’s a bit of fan service for greybeard grognards like me, I suspect. No evidence for this; it just feels like it might have been part of the idea behind such a thing. Also, the Aeonic Orb sounds quite like the C’Tan version of a packed lunch.

Hitting Big E with the retcon gun would pretty much doom the galaxy to chaos. He's barely holding chaos from bursting into realspace. Also, quintillions of humans would lose all hope and instantly commit suicide. As for the tyranids, I think it'd just wipe out that one single tyranid organism. They way I imagine, it'd basically be the same as you cutting off one of your fingers then shooting it with the gun. You'd just forget that you had a finger there and that's it.

I mean it can manipulate the Skein itself. In other mean it can change the course of the entire timeline. It also means, it not only affect the entire galaxy but the entire Skein and all dimensions and multiverse that connected to it. Heck, even in your own video you have put it also affect the boundary infinite space itself. Many argue it was just a galactic scale like you did but the context about the Skein is the proof that could not be debunked. Yes, the Breath of The Gods in the hand of the full C'tan is might be capable to create infinite amount of universes or even destroy them.

Just FYI if you had an asteroid traveling faster than the speed of light, it would be traveling backwards in time. If you warp spacetime the asteroid wont be supraluminal the bubble of spacetime its in is. If that bubbale disappeared the asteroid would keep moving through space at its original subluminal velocity. You could get the asteroid to its target faster than light but it will hit at sublight speed. Thats how it would work IRL anyways. Thought you might find that interesting.

I've been meaning to tackle the inquisitors for a long time. I'm on book 6 of 8 of the Inquisitor series by Dan abenett. I want to have that finished before I tackle them. But I think I'm going to do a smaller video on comparing Puritan and radical inquisitors first.

I loved this weapons but there are more advanced guns in Sci-Fi literature with far more destructive power 😅😅 For example the "Dimensional Striker" in the novel series "Three Body Problems" by Cixin Liu. When the gun strikes an object, the whole area near the strikes shrinks in dimension (for example 3D collapses into 2D) and it starts to expand from there to whole universe! And that's how they start the reality as we know it! I don't want to spoil it though, it's a beautiful series and you guys should read it if you like unforgiving universes! P.S. this novel series is being adapted as animation by Billi Billi and a Netflix show!

It just requires: A an unimaginable amount of energy, B exotic matter to apply negative gravitational force, or C the ability to warp space itself. IT is actually pretty cool stuff.

The dark age of technology fascinates me to no end. I would love to know more in that timeline of the setting. And the Gravitic Trebuchet would probably punch a meteor sized hole so quickly that it would just seem like the giant hole punched completely through the planet was just the suddenly, and the destruction that follows would be a bit delayed but disastrously catastrophic

Honorable mention to both the fireheart and yme loc's planetary d-scythe. A D'scythe is like the killing curse in Harry Potter. It suck your soul out and banishes it into the warp. Normally, the d scythe is only used by wraithguard and the hemlock wraithfighter. However, yme loc has a Dscythe that can kill the population of an entire planet. Yme loc doesn't use this device because they are too concerned about such silly things like "ethics." The fireheart is a device now common among mist craftworlds that collapses the core of planets into dust, not only destroying life on said planet but the celestial body itself.

I think it's pretty much confirmed the Blackstone fortresses were created by the eldar (or to be more exact, by their god Vaul) during the war in heaven if I'm not wrong. Their names for the fortresses is "the talismans of vaul". Huron Blackheart's fortress had a hidden webway gate at its centre I think, and the harlequins attempted to capture and control them again. And they make use of warp cannons technologies that use warp energies to be powered, which is very much an aeldari thing as most of their most advanced ancient tech was all powered by the warp. Also, I'd like to mention the sun eater weapons used by the aeldari. They're literally machines capable of consuming stars, extinguishing them. I'm fairly certain the drukhari kabal of the dying sun (very subtle, I know) still have access to these weapons.
