Lifespan of all 40K Races and Oldest Characters

In a couple of earlier videos we did lists of oldest characters, in one we compiled the oldest ever humans of the Imperium and in another one we arranged the oldest space marines that ever lived excluding dreadnoughts and those tainted by chaos. So now here in this video we will do something a little bit different, we will discuss and list out the different lifespan of each race in 40K and also dive in deep into the exceptions and the long living individuals of each xenos race.

Eldrad was said to have been over 10, 000 years old at the time of the Horus Heracy.
In the current setting that would make him over 22, 000 years old.

[chadstorm]

So yeah….. for several races/factions, there’s definitely a differentiation from natural lifespan vs assisted prolongation. Great video!

[williamblack]

The Eldar were immortal before the fall since they could reincarnate at will after " death".

[miriamemanueleforneris]

Tecnically orks are eternally young, but they simply die After few years if they are lucky, if they are ultra lucky the maybe live a thousands of years

[stephenpiper]

Not sure where its stated, but Tau do put their "Best and brightest" in stasis. Its to counteract their shorter lifespans, and their lack of better space/warp travel.

Damo-culz. That made me do a head tilt. First half had it, then the ending did a 180 flip. The Sword of Damocles, a story from ancient Greece, is generally pronounced Dah-mo-kleez. Though I could always be ignorant to some other form of Greek pronunciation.

Love your video it's a nice change compared to other channels

[Mr.Brownstain-xfne]

So the lifespan of a Necron is just...years

[samiel]

If the Beast appeared in millennium 33 and he was a survivor from from the Ulamor campaign in millennium 30 then the orks can live thousands of years. The orks are technically immortal as long as they keep fighting and don't die.

Everyone seems to never mention the Alpha legion that are in stasis under the palace. They are all over 10k year old :)

[Chromium_az_egyetlen]

Informative one. I didn't knew these lifespans only for the Humans and Astartes. Thank you

[thorveim]

id say human lifespan varies a lot. Shorter than current day for the masses due to harsh living conditions, but for the nobility well over a century thanks to rejuvenat treatments.

[actanonverba]

Aeldari farseers are the only ones who crystallize, the other ones it’s not clear for how long they live, but before the fall they would die and reincarnate

[sheikmuhammad]

Correction - Humans - 12 year to 300 years plus. 15 hours average if you are military.

[Greatot]

Bro wtf that Ork image on the thumbnail is the origin of the SMOrc Twitch emote!! It's said online that people don't know the original image, where did you find it?

[majster]

Wasn't it stated that Dante is over 1500 years old, not 500? And the true lifespan of Space Marine has never been measured because they all fall in battle?

[DlK]

Would be nice to get information about the eldar humonculus.

I don't know the number but i know that the lore has this thing about them that they are so old that the usual looking healthy and young effect after "doin evil sheeit" that dark eldar experience no longer has that effect on them.

[goodstuff]

TFW you live on a hive world and have a shorter life expectancy than the tau

[manarayofhope]

Were you one of the voice actors in hunter the Parenting?

"the grim darkness as the name suggests, is gram ..and dark!"
