The cogboys have their own language, if you can call it that, called Binharic. It's basically datastreams that they transmit between each other, and they frequently use it to make us fleshbags look stupid because we physically cannot understand them.

One of the more fun representations of techpriests is in the Mechanicus game, where despite all the sass and snark and other character traits they display, all of them only communicate in Binharic, which is rendered as generic buzzes and boops and stuff. This contrasts with the soulless undead robot Necrons, whose lines are all voice acted, making them appear more human.

To those outside of the cult Mechanicum they are frustrating and annoying to deal with and that is mainly why they are disliked.

Orb spotted, orb spotted.everyone stay calm, everyone stay fucking calm!

The Adeptus Mechanius has split in half twice. Once during the Horus Heresy and once again when one side wanted more innovation and the other side wanted more historial records.
This facturing also tore the Iron Hands chapter in two, creating the Sons of Medusa (Medusa is the Iron Hands home world). The Sons of Medusa teamed up with the Mechanicus guys that wanted more innovation and can now see into the future a little... I don't know how that last part connects to an engineer guild schism, but yeah, they can see into the future now.

I should mention, they're disliked by everyone in the setting. They're looked upon like nerds who keep messing with stuff that gets people in trouble. The community is pretty split on it, people usually either like them or dislike them, but they're far from being "hated" in the community. In the actually setting, though, they're often seen as trouble makers. In fact, in Space Marine 2's campaign, the biggest issue at the end of the game is brought upon by a tech priest who thought he was doing something good, but didn't know what he was messing with -- a common occurrence in the Mechanicus.

I like to imagine that if they had access to old movies, Disney’s “The Brave Little Toaster” would be an absolute HORROR film for the Mechanicus  😂 Especially the junkyard scene!

The Mechanicus didn't exactly give Terra a choice about becoming one of the Adeptus establishments.. They walked a titan into the Senatorum/Council of Lords on Terra, then held everyone hostage until they deemed the negotiation conditions to be satisfactory.

i see u got the basics of GRIM in GRIM DARK

Im pretty sure in recent lore they have hinted that most machine spirits in vehicles or in fortresses, ships, robots, etc are in fact a form of low-level A.I.

I think you're ready for Emperor TTS, and then the successor: hunter the parenting

"Science" looks like magic when you don't understand it, but magic also is "science" when it's real, which it absolutely is in 40K.

People shooting lightning out of their hands = magic

Electricity making machines move = "science"

What exactly is the difference?

Real "science" isn't much different anyway. Gravity is basically magic to us. Just because we understand it's rules doesn't mean we understand why the rules exist.

yes.. all my life i always get shocked and feel shit when i see myself in a mirror out of the blue whiel like walking somewhere or something.. ANYWAYS love these series

7:22 They literally have a sect of priests dedicated to understanding the “motive force”…called Electro Priests…they know what electricity is. When they mention Motive Force they are referring to energy in general, ie the stuff that makes everything in the universe go

Mechanicus YAAY yippie!!!

How dare he I like the iron hands. Sure it's because I relate to how depressed they are but still.

Could you watch what people get erong on the iron hands, by general Bradley? Since this video did mention them.

his art is so cool  :) i wonder how your model would look like if it was made by them .

Pancreasnowork made a really cool video about the Mechanicus as well (Do or Don’t: Adeptus Mechanicus). I only mention it because a lot of people have reacted to that one as well. Plus he talks about why you’d want to play them on the tabletop. And also because he makes a funny Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure reference. I won’t ask for a reaction to it, since you just did a Mechanicus reaction. But you may want to check it out on your free time.

To expand on STC's, they aren't just "blueprints", but AI Databases  from the dark age of tech. that contained essentially humanity's sum total of knowledge. Of course after so many years of abandonment and decay results in the fact that most STC's discovered only contain a blueprint or 2 left. I mention this because this expands on the whole "Mechanicus loves discovery but dislikes innovation" deal. Basically, other than the whole, innovation risks getting noticed and manipulated by demons thing, the Mechanicus believes that why risk to innovate, when our ancestors had everything figured out, so instead lets just rediscover how they made things instead. STC's are so valued to the Mechanicus that there's this one moment in the Gaunt's Ghosts book series, where its mentioned that 2 guardsman discovered an intact STC that contained blueprints on how to make a combat knife that was essentially better than what they had been using before. They were hailed as heroes and those knives became standard issue with 30 chapters of space marines, and as a reward for their discovery, they were given control of whole planets, one for each of them.

one thing that he not mentions is the the machine siprit could possibly be just rudimentary AI or corrupted lines of codes/very old OS that is just going whack because its being in use for so long without any one actually debugging or reseting the systems
