As first expressed in 'Unsure Where To Put Proposed Thread?', I wonder how the denizens of both Warhammer universes--meaning Fantasy and 40K alike--would react to the actual, OTL franchise. Maybe this would come about thanks to archeological discovery of old Games Workshop materials and/or yet more Warp shenanigans?

Do not think they would make much of it, the have seen much darker and stranger things by now.

Well, what if they were made aware of the fact that they exist in a fictional universe and they're now looking at how it's depicted by their creators?

Then you might have a problem as the Emperor for Humankind is their beacon, if Humans now that he is false, then it could get ugly.

Given how fanatically the human race seems to believe in their beloved God-Emperor and that it's been drilled into their heads for millennia that He's their divine ruler and savior, the arrival of various materials that seemingly depict their universe as a wholly fictional franchise--while up for investigation right off the bat--probably won't sway that many of them.

And even though he may not have been (and still isn't) completely almighty as the Imperial population worships Him as, he's nonetheless in a pretty godlike state in the Warp at the current moment.

  Technically does that make Games Workshop the Chaos Gods!   Since their responsible for such a dire universe with such suffering and destruction?  Or rather two if you include the original fantasy setting.

Even if by some stretch the Ruinous Powers are the same as the development team who devised their universe, I'm assuming in this case that the Chaos Gods get to react to the franchise, too.

Then again, maybe they'd be smart enough to already know that stuff?

This one's rather old (from 2017), but explores a question that I think is worth pondering nonetheless.

I love ships, the bigger the better.

Cool video. I wonder what the biggest vessel in all of the 40K universe must be.

Yes, I know that he made mention of the Phalanx, but people don't always cover everything there is to it. I'd speculate that the Necron World Engine is definitely up there though, if not at the top spot already.

Google and Reddit say:

Largest object - Ramilles Class Star Fort - these are technically portable but not really ships.

Largest Battleship - Apocalypse Class Battleship - but all Imperial Navy Battleships are extremely close in size. This one has a Novacannon so it has a tiny edge.

Largest Ship - Universe Class Mass Conveyor - Carries stuff for the Navy and Civilians

Cool, thank you. Although it seems that it has them already, I wonder if the 40K universe also had an ample supply of Death Star-sized-plus vessels during the Dark Age of Technology? They seem to have had the capabilities to do just that back in the day.

Also, here's another music video from HMKids that I first encountered a few years ago.

To introduce a question that I first brought up in 'Unsure Where To Put Proposed Thread?', what would happen if the Adeptus Mechanicus discovered Orion's Arm technology?

For those unfamiliar with said sci-fi universe, here's a link to their site.

Would they think it comes from the Dark Age of Technology.

I'd wager so, though the DAoT is said to have taken place from the 15th to 25th Millennium. By contrast, the OA universe is currently set at some point in the 11th Millennium.
