The Brotherhood of Steel is the predecessors of the Mechanicus (their reverence of technology becoming a total worship of it over the millenia). are all extremely early models of the weapons in WH40K. The power armor, laser/plasma weaponry, etc.
I just find this one fun and, as a 40K and Fallout fan, how similar so many aspects of the two are.īasically the theory is that the Fallout games take place after first of many nuclear wars that ravenge the planet before Golden Age of Technology (which takes place roughly 13,000 years after the setting of Fallout).Įssentially, the various tech and aspects you see in the game are ancient precursors of what will be seen in WH40K. Note 2: To clear something up: no I do not believe this theory is 'true' any more than any other 'X is a prequel/sequel/in the same universe as Y' franchise crossover theories. Note: I am perfectly aware that many aspects of Fallout are based on Warhammer 40k, just with a Zeerust 50s/diesel punk asthetic, but its still a fun theory.
I know this theory has been around for awhile, but I figured I'd give it more publicity.
