Only a Warhammer lore video could blithely mention something as interesting sounding as an "Arch-Arsonist" and just continue on to talk about a sentient time anomaly in space. That's why I love this stuff. (Though I would love to know who or what an Arch-Arsonist is/was, too.)

Whatever it is, it's not chaos aligned. That alone is terrifying. Perhaps the Necrons have some information, they draw energies from alternate dimensions and realities, yes? Perhaps this is one of them, making contact.

I love 40k horror stories that dont rely on known enemies. The problem with horror here is that chaos is not scary or unknown anymore, we know waay to much about it.
But a cosmic entity like this? It scratches that itch perfectly

I gotta say I really love the obscure lore dives Wes has been putting out. The space is littered with YouTubers making sort of intro primers and shorts for people who are relatively new to warhammer, or doing long videos that cover entire chapters, legions, factions etc, which is fantastic for increasing the engagement and entertainment for people new to the hobby. However for people who have been around a bit longer or who have exhausted most of the popular lore, it's great to have stuff pulled from the corners of the IP ❤

My first gut reaction is that we are witnessing the birth of a c'tan. Insatiable hunger, check. Eats star systems, check. Screws with the minds of mortals, check. Capable of self-locomotion, check. Not aligned with any sort of moral compass, chaotic or conventional, check. Has gathered a cult of the "faithful, " willing to debase themselves for the glory of their master, check.

Alright now someone tell me why I'm wrong.

My personal headcanon is that the Limitless Grasp is from a parallel universe where the Emperor and Loyalists stopped the Horus Heresy before it even started, and the Primarchs each got a section of the galaxy to rule. The Limitless Grasp was part of the trader fleet from the sector ruled by Sanguinius. "Sanguine Oligarch" was one of his honorific titles in this universe.

The Limitless Grasp was caught in the creation of the parallel universe's version of the Hadex anomaly in 656.M40, which destroyed Virinus and trapped the Limitless Grasp in a time/space loop between dimensions.

Maybe the Anomaly could be the spiritual signature of a destroyed C'tan. Like the Howling, it is the death cry of the destroyed C'tan that lingered after all this time.

Crazy Eldritch Horror bleeding into our plane of existence. Anything that observes its influence goes mad. Sounds like an Old God has partially awoken.

[Meatshield]

You should do a follow up video on the "Stigmartus" faction of the Jericho Reach. They're based in the Hadex anomaly and use its distorted flow of time to their advantage. They might even be in contact/in cooperation with the Hadex anomaly. Large armies and fleets pour from the Hadex anomaly every few months that should have taken decades to amass. Of course, these forces do take that long to amass, but time passes much faster inside the Hadex anomaly. It's likely that there, a couple of decades pass in what is only a few realspace months; this allows the Stigmartus enough forces to fight on equal footing with the local Imperial Crusade! The Stigmartus also pick on the Jericho Reach's Tau for good measure as well.
Pretty interesting stuff, I'd recommend a read.

Makes me want to see a rogue trader/battlefleet gothic game to see these stories play out

[GTGLinx]

This is exactly the stuff I truly love 40k. You're doing the emperors work covering these more obscure topics and I demand that you continue to do so :D

[xMoobyx]

Thank you for covering the creepy parts of the lore and bringing life to it!!! You rock!!

[ruyman]

Sounds to me like a stranded or wounded C'tan. Eating systems, bending realities, communicating to telepaths, moving, seeking, and not Warp related.

[Ado_enthusiast]

Ah the Grim darkness of the far future is the gift that just keeps on giving! And by gift i mean more eldritch abominations of unknown origin!

[singtothesilence]

The rogue navigators you mentioned could do really well in Noctis Aeternae, assuming that the source of their worship is able to maintain its impression of the Astronomicon after the Cicatrix obscures it. Sounds like a fun hook for a story, actually.

Love to see you tackle the various maladies of the Askellon sector, especially the Vaxi atrocity, its fallout, and associated conspiracies.

[alexanderhill]

Another fantastic lore / mystery video. These sorts of stories always have our minds racing with "what if's, mights and maybes." While we do enjoy all the natural horrors that chaos brings to the setting. It's these unknown and unseen forces that make the goosebumps go. Now to answer your question.

We've just finished reading a somewhat recent 40K short story called "The Bookkeepers Skull". I won't spoil it but there's certainly a few creepy and mysterious things that happen in the story that you might be interested in. There's even this one particularly strange event that happens towards the beginning that even made us freaked out.

This is absolutely hands down my favorite Warhammer channel, (followed closely by Baldermort) and with over 8K views in an hour I'm not alone. Keep it up Wes, your stuff is so good!

[Cynic]

i love me some good ol incomprehensible horrors that are obviously beyond human comprehension

[Hawkent]

It reminds me of that movie Event Horizon tbh. Especially the way you described the scene of Hadex's ship being frozen in a scene of madness and death.

[EastyyBlogspot]

It does seem like the unknown horrors could also be afraid of their unknown horrors
