Long before the Imperium of Man. Before the rise of the Emperor. Before even the first human civilisation looked to the stars, the galaxy was already ancient.

In this inaugural episode of Ordo Motivatus, we journey back more than sixty million years to the legendary War in Heaven. The cataclysmic conflict that shaped the future of the Warhammer 40,000 galaxy and set in motion events that still echo throughout the 41st Millennium.

Discover the enigmatic Old Ones, the tragic Necrontyr, the birth of the star-gods known as the C’tan, and the terrible process of biotransference that transformed an entire species into the immortal Necrons. Follow the rise of the Aeldari and the Krork, witness the devastation of a war fought across countless star systems, and explore how the galaxy itself was forever changed by a conflict so vast that its scars remain visible millions of years later.

This episode serves as the beginning of our complete chronological exploration of Warhammer 40,000 lore, presented in a cinematic documentary style designed for both newcomers and veteran hobbyists alike.
