Hearted Youtube comments on Combat Veteran Reacts (@CombatVeteranReacts) channel.

  1. The driver is a 48 yr old ex Police Special task force sniper and also teaches people how to shoot in his spare time. Apparently as soon as he got out the vehicle and got down on his knee taking aim, the highjackers took off. They had enough ha ha

  2. I was deployed during this time in the area they were at. I heard about this story, and our command had to hold a 'Safety Stand Down Class' on the fuck ups this unit did, and what not to do. Theater Command crucified the gunner, chief and convoy commanders. Full Court Martials all around with Dishonorable Discharges and some prison time. I'll see if I can find the article that was posted about it in the Army Times. EDIT/ADDITION: I'm still looking, but it's like digging through a stack of papers a mile deep and unorganized as well. My unit's Safety Stand Down was in Late July 2009, so look earlier than that for the initial incident (maybe Feb 2009? Court Martials take a bit of time. I saw the Article commenting on the Court Martials in Mid-August. I can't remember their names or ranks for the most part. But I remember the Assistant Convoy commander was a SFC that got an extra charge due to falsifying his report (Saying the vehicle was destroyed/inoperable, and the driver was KIA and they couldn't recover the body (Which turned out to be false)). Only the Crew Chief, Assistant Convoy Commander and Convoy Commander got prison time. And of course, discharges all around. I'll keep looking, but if you want to help, there is the pertinent info that I have from an aging memory.

  3. Hey, brother! I'm the guy that was interviewed in the video by Syrmor. I really liked your take on everything and all the additional information you provided to your audience on it. When you asked why we might not have put rounds down to let them know we were there, at that time we weren't allowed to do "warning shots." We did have something called suppressing fire we could do. But, suppressing fire had to be placed in between the enemy and the ground party to be "legal," I've always considered it a weird lawyer rule. And, since these guys were up against the perimeter wall any rounds put down between them would've been danger close and had a high collateral damage risk which pretty much sank that option. Also, I really love that you brought up using aircraft for noise suppression. The AC-130 is incredibly loud and it was apart of our SOPs to deter the enemy by flying overhead the enemy and letting them know we were there depending on what our objective for an op was. Of course, some missions the JTAC would ask us to push out at the edge of our sensor range to not burn the target, but I consider one of the gunships crowning achievements to be our long loiters times overhead that allowed our guys on the ground to get some rest from an engagement or sleep. It made for boring missions, sure, but when you have a ground party thank you when you check off for the rest it was hard not to be proud of that. In fact, I'd say 90% of our ops didn't see the bad guys come out to play cause they knew we were overhead. Anyways, love the reaction brother.

  4. The horses used in the charge are so genetically enhanced that they're barely horses. They can keep charging while taking small arms fire such as lasguns, and have massive claws which they can use to rip the enemy appart. Also the lances used are designed to penetrate armor and then explode, if you look at the lances you see that they have a simmilar charge as the potato masher and they explod after hitting the space marine's armor. Also an interesting story about the deathkorps. They where sent as honorguard for diplomats inspecting a dissident city, when the diplomats where executed by the dissidents the deathkorps promptly started shelling the city. The deathkorps continued shelling the city for 10 years after which the city was utterly reduced to rubble, this was 2 years after they stopped detecting life signs from the city and 5 years after the city decleared unconditional surrender. The deathkorps doesn't fuck around.

  5. games with bad graphics are usually the ones to have things such as simulated air pressure since the pc can focus on calculating those instead of using resources on graphics

  6. Fun Fact: In 40k, the Imperial Guard has a type of officer called a "Commissar." The Commissar is technically not part of the regular chain of command and thus has no command authority unless they also hold a commision as a regular officer (such as the infamous "Colonel-Commissar Gaunt") but they do have absolute authority in matters pertaining to discipline. This includes executing deserters and cowards. In a normal unit, one of the Commissar's duties on the battlefield is to enforce discipline by giving speeches and making themselves a visible presence to remind the troops that if they break and run, the Commissar will not hesitate to judge them cowards and shoot them in the back as they flee. However, in the Krieg units, they are so fanatically loyal that the Commissar does not have to worry about them breaking and running, but rather his job becomes keeping them from charging headlong at the enemy lines. Because the Kriegers absolutely will suicide charge the enemy even when it's tactically pointless and wasteful for them to do so unless a Commissar holds them in check.

  11. "How does a mech walk if there is no gravity?" That's the neat part... He doesn't. Station has artificial gravity via generator and if you destroy it people start flying and can stuck in place if they have nothing to hang on too.

  13. "Can a Plant commit Heresy?" The rest of the fandom staring at the Orks: Yeah kind of.

  16. I can't believe they don' have a better system for contacting their backup than just calling them on a cellphone.
    863
  17. This guy needs to be in a motion picture directed by Clint Eastwood
    843
  18. The irony of the Emperor acting and having the powers of a God but not wanting to be worshiped as one is brought up a lot.
    810
  19. "Every world is a death world..." Yeah, so you know when they call it a Death World in 40k they REALLY mean it.
    801
  20. To be fair to the Death Korp, they do have specific medics to treat the wounded. It’s just a matter of “Will this Guardsman be worth the resources to be brought back up and rejoin the fight?”. A lost leg or other mortal wound and they’ll be given the Emperor’s Peace. But a non-mortal bullet wound will probably get treated if there’s a medic nearby. And don’t feel bad for the wounded, they would absolutely hate themselves if they became a burden to his battle-brothers or be shipped back home as no long able to serve in the fight. If they became a burden needing extra medical attention and resources, they would probably just kill themselves in order for their body to become corpsestarch, and being useful.

  22. The only thing a Kriegsman loves more than dying for the Emperor is killing for him.
    749
  23. The hook-tipped plank you’re talking about is called a corvus and was a Roman invention, not Greek. They did this because their Navy sucked against their rival but their soldiers were dramatically superior.
    739
  24. The church is no longer allowed a private army after a thing happened now called "the age of apostasy". But the law literally says they can have "No men under arms" so enter the sisters of battle. Good commentary on this one as well.
    717
  25. I did see this and kinda wish there were other camera angles of this
    676
  26. "It's like an acid trip." Everything involving the Warp tends to be, AT BEST, like a horribly gone wrong acid trip.
    667
  27. the big armored guys "small arms" is actually a an automatic self propelled antipersonel grenade launcher
    627
  28. "S-Tier" is from Tier lists, its an Internet culture thing. The scale goes: S - In a class all its own A - Top-tier, the best B - Highly respectable grade, isn't the best but is pretty good C - Average tier, not objectionable but not really great D - Low-tier, sub-standard
    625
  29. "The planet breaking before the Guard did" isn't a meme. As the planet was breaking up there were reports of Guardsmen STILL fighting on the surface.
    622
  30. Rifle is a Ruger on an AR15 platform. The assistant was taken by suprise as it was his first week on the job. He did very well in the situation even though he was a bit unaware of his safety on the rifle. Well done to him in staying calm and working slowly. Those who have ever been in combat know slow is fast

  32. Fun fact: the guy has also streamed legit oncology/immunology lectures. He's a trained specialist, iirc. May God-Emperor have mercy on us all, for Sseth has none. Edit: SS13's sequel is in the works, apparently. May God-Emperor have mercy on us all.

  33. I started questioning this almost immediately for 2 primary reasons ….. there was no big building in a pile of rubble, like would have happened if a hospital was legit hit with an airstrike ….. and if there was ‘at least 500 dead people’ we would have seen a crap ton of pictures all over the internet of mass casualties, and we simply didnt see that
    599
  34. You ever heard of the description "soldier expecting to die" in this case it has been taken up a notch. They are not just expecting to die THEY ARE SUICIDAL AND WANT TO DIE
    566
  35. Hey! Only three MTF casualties this time! Hooray! Body counts tend to be in the double digits for them.

  38. Stay safe dude. I know it's an empty threat but still, never broadcast whereabouts and info if it can be avoided.

  39. "Lorehammer" is definitely a Freudian Slip. The lore is 1000x more extensive than the Tabletop game's entire rule history at this point.

  40. SFM stands for Source Filmmaker it's a 3D software used in this animation.
    439
  41. 3:35 “If you’re Khorne the blood god...would you want more blood? Feel like you’d be all blooded out?” Look, you do not get the nickname “The Blood God” by looking around and saying “yeah, this seems like a reasonable amount of blood, I should stop here.”
    415
  42. The reason it looks so basic is that it can't look any better, both because of requirements the upgraded graphics would impose on the server and also because it's been iteratively built for years and years on an ancient client. It's essentially a fully simulated joke world.

  43. The Bundle of Stick- Grenades on one Stick is also a German Invention, made as improvised Anti- Tank and Pioneer Charge. Its called "Geballte Ladung" and was very common especially in WW2. Greetings from a German Afghanistan- Veteran ;-)

  49. The biggest issue is that Chaos naturally gravitates towards the extremes because that’s where daemons get their energy. Mere annoyance would be a light snack for a Bloodletter, while murderous hatred would be a feast. Basically, daemons of the warp push humans to give into the most obscene excess of their emotions so they can draw energy most efficiently.

  51. 13:15 "Just because I'm 10 feet tall, wearing a golden suit of armor and wielding a fiery sword while also having a permanent halo around me dose not mean that I'm god."
    363
  52. Simply put, they don't care about dying. They know that their lives matter little because millions of their own are created in their world.
    354
  53. Imperial Guardsmen are generally well-trained and some have seen combat before even being recruited. They're more like the top 10% of conscripts, since the lower 90% gets left in the Planetary Defense Force.
    353
  54. My favorite Inquisition quote regarding exterminatus is: "Some may question your right to destroy ten billion people. Those who understand realize that you have no right to let them live!"
    353
  55. It might seem a little silly that the Hammer was capable of dealing more damage than the Bolters but it's unique in that there's an energy field emitting device built into them. They're called Thunder Hammers and only activate upon striking a target, and they do so with enough force to put holes in main battle tanks.

  57. Consider the fact that the stories told through the lore of 40K takes place far into the future and it becomes a reasonable assumption that much of mankind's history prior to the emergence of the Emperor has either been forgotten or is actively suppressed.
    329
  58. Hilarious idea of your wife's about the mechanicus being endgame silicon valley tech bro. And yet the average mechanicus is still more human than Mark Zuckerberg
    324
  59. The guardsman was indeed bait, but it was the marine using him.... not the tyrranids. The costumes are all real including the marine and the only CGI used are the tyrranids. It was fun to film. ;)
    323
  60. The title shot got the silhouette effect by having the camera at ground level as the team approached at ground level. Tactically they were still solid as they were walking out of their LZ which was flat and tree lined all around. Others already covered the flannel and jeans bit for that particular MTF. The hole the chemlight was dropped down was directly below where the floating civilian was in the debrief. Hence why it was treated with such care. Sidenote: 'Roger' and 'Wilco' were common Naval radio calls back during my service in the 90's. Any radioman could use 'roger' as an acknowledgement, but only the CO, XO, CIO, or the OOD could use or authorize a 'wilco' response. The chillness came to the MTF after the initial recon of the hole because it didn't immediately prove hostile and looking further down was the responsibility of another MTF (the Mole Rats that are mentioned). A great deal of the inconsistencies in their terrain movements and especially in their building clear tactics was a result of goofs in editing. In particular the primary target being out in the open like he was. He was supposed to show up to one side of the 2nd floor hall. And yes, they had a top tier tactical advisor. A behind the scenes video talks about how the cast were put through about 14 hours worth of building clear drills to get it right. The missing persons posters was the first scene that gave me the chills, mainly because they were placed directly along the MTF's approach route. The burning effigy approach and walk-by was a one-take show by necessity because of scheduling, lighting, and only being able to burn the effigy once. The owner of the farm land didn't quite understand what was going on so he started rolling the hay bales while they were setting up for the shot so they just added them in. The 'out of the fog' shot was also cluttered because it was multiple MTF teams converging (inner cordon and scouts together). The door bunching I think was one of those balance between tactics and camera work shots.

  62. Simplified the big tyranids are smart and control the smaller ones if no big ones are around the small ones revert to instinct
    313
  63. That wasn't Terminator Armor, that was Centurion Armor which is a different variant primarily utilized in siege warfare and punching people with giant drills.
    311
  64. Humanity once made an oopsie and had a skynet. Was called Men of Iron. AIs are now, you guessed it, HERESY!
    307
  65. For the sisters: Only the Sisters Militant are the fighting force. They also have medical, teaching and even language focused arms of the sisterhood, that are not involved in combat.
    307
  66. TL;DR Massive lore dump that explains Combat Veteran Reacts' questions. 1. The drones escorting the boarding craft are intercepting incoming missiles, the boarding craft has armor too thick to care about a little space dust. 2. The faction the Astartes are fighting is group of secessionists, not necessarily Chaos worshippers. The dude in the mask is a Psyker and the mask is a device called a psychic hood with works to stabilize the psyker's powers and helps to prevent the psyker from losing control of his abilities and exploding (or worse). 3. Yep, the Astartes are used in raids or QRF. An Astartes company (100 marines) can mobilize very quickly and come to the defense of high level assets within days whereas the slow, grinding wheels of the Imperial Guard which is akin regular army. It could take the Imperial Guard many years if not a decade to mobilize a regiment, but take and hold missions is what the Guard does best. 4. To call a Bolter a pistol. Yes, it's small in the hands of an Astartes but it's a CQB. Imagine an M4 being chambered in 20mm grenades. The bulk of the weapon is nearly all barrel and chamber.
    305
  67. The average russian was hawkish in the beginning! And I feel about as sorry for them, as they felt for the average Ukrainian, when the invasion started!
    298
  68. Imperium uses orbital bombardment pretty often, but against something like tyrannids, if they’re swarming on the planet that means you’ve already lost the space battle and probably don’t have any ships left in position.
    296
  69. This is not a reaction, this is enrichment. Thanks for adding value to the topic.

  70. Poor Magnus, loses his eye, gets called a nerd, and now everyone makes fun of his nipple horns. Poor guy.
    290
  71. The siege of Vraks series by Arch is a nice, but long deep dive into the Death korps. My favorite part, that really gives their mindset away is, when they almost rebel after years of bloody carnage...when the new marshal does not send them into their death anymore.
    286
  72. 13:20 The gunner was likely so terrified when he saw the space marine that all thought of tactics and preserving friendly life left his mind and he just squeezed the trigger.
    282
  73. Everyone having a really bad time except for a few agricultural worlds out in the boonies growing corn and being strategically irrelevant. Worst thing they have to worry about are stray ork warbands. Which is pretty good all things considered.
    280
  74. Marines have an object implanted under their skin called a black carapace that allows their nervous system to directly interface with their armor.
    278
  75. Dunno how realistic this this is but when setting up a trench system the deathkorp will shell the location for trenches with artillery. This leaves craters which they can then use as cover. when in the craters two men will dig a fox hole. Once done they will go back to back and dig their way to the next fox hole forming the trench network. The deathkorp have a type of soldier called a quartermaster. These are the first rung of commissioned officer in the deathkorp. Their role has evolved slightly from when they fought on their irradiated hellhole of a planet after the council of autarchs's rebelled against the imperium. These guys serve the purpose of recovering anything salvageable from the battlefield. be it the lucius pattern las rifles they use, thier equipment or even the soldier himself so yes their role does encompass the duties of a field medic. The officer in charge ordering a bayonet charge is most likely an imperial Commissar. Commisars are like their soviet inspired counterparts political officers attached to imperial guard armies to instil discipline often by force. They aren't above executing their own troops but at the same time they aren't above carrying out acts that they expect troops in their command to carry out. They often lead by example. Problem for commissars in the deathkorps is that they are often put in charge of troops far more zealous than they are. Commissars are typically not from the planet of origin that the regiment is from. The Commissar in question is likely not from krieg. The gasmasks that the deathkorp wear is a throwback to their origins on their home world again. They typically will not take them off even if there's no NBCD threat apparent. The chaos cultists (mortal men, women and in some cases children! grim I know) are often highly fanatical but not highly trained. Armed with autoguns, basic bitch gun powder weapons or stubbers (mounted LMG's) and lasguns if lucky. mortals are generally used as cannon fodder, meatshields if you will for more important units in a traitor army such as chaos space marines and are often flung en masse at an enemy. Man to man an Imperial guardsmen is more than a match for a basic cultist. But there's often WAAAAAY!!!!! more cultists than IG. The cultists may have the entire planets population in their ranks
    273
  76. I love that they gave the Cadian purple eyes. Also the Marine's insignia is from the Angels of Vengeance, a successor of the Dark Angels.
    271
  77. "They can not get around physics..." - Well, they are Orks... they actually can if they believe so. Orks are so dumb, even reality said: "Fuck this, I'm out..."
    269
  78. Nocturn isn’t dark, it’s very bright. Because it’s on fire most of the time. Also very radioactive. It’s why the Salamanders are so dark, so the don’t get super cancer
    266
  79. Paul there's a lot you missed, there's an extended version that shows the driver is actually aware of the situation before the shots and starts getting ready 20-15 sec. more before the first shot
    263
  80. I knew something was wrong. I got your back, Paul. Don't worry about it, worry about your beautiful baby girl. I'll join combat vet news. Take care of your family.
    259
  81. “We've run into scorpions the size of battle tanks. Three men died from Eyerot last week and I've sweated enough to fill a lake. Emperor help me, I love this place, it's just like home!"
    252
  82. When the Death Korps is involved calling “Incoming!” makes perfect sense when they charge your lines because artillery is guaranteed to be inbound
    252
  83. Kriegs soliders have a multitude of reasons for why they get away with things, one- They dont care. Two- They have better armor in some cases. Three- they're the most suicidal force in lore, if it's a mere gunshot. They keep going until their body gives up. Pain is a weakness and they kill any soldiers who show pain during training. The spears are outfitted with an anti armor grenade bundle at the base of the tip as well.
    250
  84. I believe the Providence op is a reference to H. P. Lovecraft and Cthulhu, as Lovecraft lived in Providence most of his life.
    250
  85. P.s. just to make sure you were aware, the death corps do not like unnecessary sacrifice. They want to sell their lives, and do so as best they can. Why they go on suicide missions, and not just suicide. It might also be so that they can get in close and limited medium-long range accuracy. That said, the death corps are known for pulling no punches, including NBC warfare.
    248
  86. Ultramarines and salamanders pick recruits in a fashion similar to your description. Especially ultramarines
    238
  87. 2:56 - First a lore point. The Adeptus Munitorum (the logistics branch of the Imperial military) actually values a soldier's equipment more than the soldier himself. Losing your lasgun is an offence punishable by summary execution (just like cowardice and failing to properly shine your coat buttons). Secondly, most models of lasgun are fitted with a bayonet lug that the soldier can fit his combat knife to. A spear is a much more effective combat weapon than a dagger, so tossing his lasgun was a mistake there, too.
    233
  88. Well, the emperor needed them, to well get their technology and experience to get his stuff to work, and to build all of his stuff.
    232
  89. Well Done Leo. Former SAP Special Task Force probably one of the best and toughest special forces ever. These guys are well trained and tough as old army boots. From a former SAP member.
    229
  90. Dark Angels are space Knights, Blood Angels are space vampires and Blood Ravens appropriate everything for their own cause. Literally Blood Ravens are like regular Ravens they will take your shiny things.
    227
  91. You've actually given me a new perspective on 40K. I'm beginning to think maybe the reason certain units or characters are OP or have plot armor in 40k is that they're actually using sane (or at least somewhat better) tactics when no one else is. Certainly would apply to the Catachans.
    225
  92. The space wolves are actually a really competent and advanced fighting force that intentionally present themselves as barbarians , at first anyway, to get the enemy to underestimate them. Wars have been won when one side underestimated another.
    220
  93. The reason he called the Adeptus Sororitas ‘nun’s in space’ is because the original group was called the ‘Brides of the Emperor’ so they essentially started off as Nuns
    217
  94. I just wanted to point out that the technique of using a plank to hook on to an enemy ship in order to board was actually a Roman thing, not Greek. The Greeks would try to brush past the other ship and shear off their oars with the prow of their ship. The Roman boarding plank (called a Corvus, if I remember) was developed during one of the Punic wars (I don't remember which) to make up for the fact that the Romans weren't as comfortable with naval combat as the Carthaginians, and would much prefer to fight a land battle. And that's my pedantic nitpick done for the day.
    215
  95. 28:50 the point is that the rifle is excellent. Never jam, can be used in every conditions, you can reload the ammopack by leaving the magazine near a fire or a under the sun (or in their chargebanks, if you are in a bunker or a command post) and works really well against "normal" enemies like cultist, gretchskins, small tyrannids, gangers etc. The problem is when facing heavy infantry like astartes, orks or evolved tyrannids: you can kill them, but it need a fuckton of focused fire
    215
  96. Wrong tank rounds, Heat rounds are the ones that cause a explosion to compress a inverse cone shaped copper lining to make a jet of plasticized copper that jets through the armor of a target. You are thinking of APHE rounds or APCBC-HE rounds used in second world war tanks which detonate inside the tanks after penetrating.
    211
  97. So to give a few more points the video misses: 1. Battlefleet Cadia doesn’t rely upon the planet for troops or resources or even port. The Battlefleet is stationed at Cadia for it’s the gateway to the Imperium however it rely upon several massive ports throughout the sector. In addition, additional fleet elements from all over the imperium are usually sent to reinforce the Cadian gate during black crusades - primarily Battlefleet Gothic tho Battlefleet Solar that protects the Sol system itself (I.e. our star systems) sent reinforcements to Cadia too. 2. Cadians are trained from a young age to be soldiers first but the video is wrong about the literacy. They do go over literacy as like you said understanding written orders and other stuff is of great importance, however, they skip the whole advanced literacy unless you move up in the ranks. A basic literacy skill is given to young Cadians so they can read what they are doing, however, said young blood primary duties are learning how to strip and use a lasgun & bayonet, however those going from the ages of 5-10 are usually taught more in the skills of being spotters, messengers and most importantly ammo luggers for no matter the age when the enemy strikes Cadia you are apart of your home worlds defence no matter the age. Once they reach what Cadians believe is maturity 10ish. They begin then inducting them proper into the guard. By this point they should already know the basic of using and maintaining and servicing a lasgun as well as a uniform as such this training is more to bring them in line with the Cadian white shield standard. Once they are properly inducted into a white shield unit, they’ll have chance to serve in some combat close to home - usually anti-pirate, ork and Eldar raider duties tho they can be sent to proper front line units if required/desired. Once they have completed their time as a white shield they can make said choice to join the military industrial complex or the shock troops proper. 3. “The planet broke before the Guard” is a true calling after Cadia fell - tho it has been meme’d to hell. But it represents the guards stubbornness. Throughout all 40k canon the guard are the true guardians of the imperium. The Astartes are but a swift dagger to stab into an enemy when they are weak of vulnerable. The Mechanicus could barely care for the death of people outside their forge worlds unless it means said death hurts their duties. The sister are religious extremists more caring for the defence of monasteries and priest - tho they also sometimes fail in that, normally getting a bit hot under the helmets and charging to meet the enemy even if said enemy is out numbering and fighting them. The guard have always been the true hero’s of the imperium and throughout almost every battle they will be the last standing and the last fighting - their are lots of times where Astartes chapter have abandoned planets due to light casualties (or other more inter chapter/personal reasons) and left the guard to fend for themselves. As such the phrase stands true to all guardsmen that no matter the threat they will never abandon their homes or post until death take them.

  98. There is no reason to account for something "trivial" as a sound psyche when you plan to brake said psyche in the first place, to reshape it to your wishes. The only reason for selecting these battle hardened kids is for rooting out those, that could not even survive these relatively "safe" conditions, comparable to what is expected of them further down the line. The minds of these kids are going to be completely shattered by the half-way-point of their training to become Space Marines, so no one is going to care if they had a good upbringing or not.

  99. Kriegsman don't care about their life. Their horses ALSO don't care about their lives. Their horses aren't normal, they don't spook, they have been bred and absolutely modified.

  100. I think your question about people liking the 40k universe because it makes everything else look great is pretty on point. A common joke about 40k is asking fans if they would like to live in the universe they are a fan of. Would you like to live in the world of Harry Potter? - Sure Would you like to live in the Star Wars universe? - Probably Would you like to live in the 40k Uni -- NO... NONONONONO... No...
    201
  101. For Astartes recruits, Chapters tend not to care too too much about the psychology of the Child, so much as the physical resilience of the potential recruit. "And They shall feel no fear" is quite literal, because the Space Marine's limbic system is entirely changed, Astartes do not feel fear like a normal human, as for other psychological functions, they've got decades of training and straight up mind alteration to fix them. As they do use several methods to essentially put information into the heads of Marines in order to ensure they have the proper instincts to use their new augmenations. So the psychology of the potential Space Marine, isn't that important, due to the fact that a Chapter has the time and means to remove them. However, the Augmenation has a high failure rate, simply because it's so hard on the body, so therefore in the face of the fact they can't actually perform the mass recruitments of the Great Crusade, they value the ability to simply survive the process above everything else.

  103. There is an important difference between aknowlaging the existence of a God, and actually worshipping it.
    188
  104. Random space marine fact. The Salamanders chapter actually have their Marines remember and visit their family's from time to time.
    184
  105. Robert heinlein's starship troopers is a highly recommended read. It is almost entirely different than the satirical movie that came out in the late '90s. It's really not an action book in it There is relatively little fighting, But a solid read-through will show why it was such a controversial book during the time period It was written and why it would probably be considered one today..... But it is an excellent novel in my opinion.
    177
  106. 11:50 They had an equivalent of running away from a tank with aim hack while having nerf guns, so staying back for any amount of time would just mean they'd be picked off a few seconds faster than their buddies.
    177
  107. Here's something to note about guardsmen. Different regiments specialize in different things. Lore wise people like Cadians, Kriegans, Armagedians and Catachans specialize in different types of warfare (to be fair them are probably the best of the guardsmen). Many of them spend their entire lives fighting and training and are very good soldiers by the time they're adults, especially those on hellish planets that grow up fighting. But the problem is that most of the things they fight in this galaxy are usually way stronger than them. Evolving space bugs, space elf wizards, warmongers that warp reality with mob mentality, resurrecting space terminators, literal hell itself... you have to give them credit when they manage to defeat more enemies than anyone else in the imperium.
    174
  108. The churches they drop are more drop pod mixed with instant pop up fortress. The sisters are like religion themed super heroes who are legendary to regular citizens of the imperium and helps keep moral up while also functioning as a military branch for the church.
    171
  109. I was hoping you'll react to this soon. Also gotta love the last krieger still setting the bomb off even though he was on fire.

  110. Except their fungi, which are genetically more closely related to animals than to plants. Which is somewhat horrifying.
    167
  111. Regarding the multilaser at ~12:30 “buzzsawing” their own troops and life having no meaningful value - this is instead a very calculated value: luring in a single space marine for the mere cost of a score of normal humans is a fantastic trade. If you think that’s callous, just remember that was exactly the situation that MAC V SOG faced in Vietnam when they called in Arc Light strikes on their location (my father was on the receiving end of one, and set off metal detectors for the rest of his life. He thought it was worth the risk (and given his shadow box compared to mine, he was right).
    164
  112. “Your hive cities value is its people” It really isn’t, the value is the massive factories and structures of the city. Humans are expendable in 40k, they have repopulated hive cities from out of planet before many times, what matters is reclaiming the physical city itself cause they are not easy to make.
    161
  113. My best bet is that the "ghosts" are the cultists that "transcended", the camera is an anomalous object being affected by the area itself, and the mirror/sculpture is the object of interest on the site itself, and most likely causing most of the anomalous activity.
    159
  114. "That's an entrenching tool..." We know, the Kriegsmen know, and we all love our entrenching tools. Almost as much as our faces, I mean masks.
    158
  115. Of course the death Corp keep shelling when there are friendlies in the bombardment area. Those shells are gifts from the emperor, and damn well they are gunna use all of them

  116. I highly recommend Luetin09's 40K videos. They are something that is totaly worth watching. He goes above and beyond to give the viewer a good understanding of the universe.

  119. Big E wanted humanity to be independent from the Warp. He was trying to make the Eldar Webway accessible to humans, maybe bring humanity to a point were the blank gene would become the norm ( the numbers are rising drastically in 40k ). Canceling out the warp entirely (Necrons can do that) kills humans without blank genes, they slowly wither away. Also to note that what the Emperor was doing with his crusade is small compared to the War in Heaven or the Fall of the Eldar in terms of strengthening the warp gods. The War in Heaven basically gave birth (they became sentient) to 3 of the 4 gods as untold trillions of people died very violently and the species that lost the war was living in harmony with the warp until that (their souls projected a lot more "energy" into the warp and had a lot more impact on the shape of the warp)
    150
  120. I'm going to assume that the heretics, which our Kriegers are fighting here, are some sort of PDF (Planetary Defence Force). They're usually not that well trained and seriously underequipped (the reason why they're using autoguns instead of lasguns), but that depends on the world this exact PDF is founded on. They probably heard about any serious battle from the tales of their parents, so don't push them too hard, they're new to this "galaxy of eternal war" stuff.
    149
  121. The Custodians aren't psychic, but they have genius levels of intelligent and are surrounded by anti-psychic people and psychic people.

    148
  123. Thats actually not Special Effects, thats an actual real dude inside that armor. The guys name on Youtube is "Becosplay forge" he made the armor and is also of course staring ( The Dark Angel ) in the shortfilm. He also made a cosplay suit for Indomitus pattern Terminator Armor.

  125. He: " A Planet for just 1000 Men is just preposterous " Me: "Hmm, how about the Story about the two Guardsmen, who found the Combat Knife S.T.C. Didn´t each one of them got a Planet as a reward ?"
    142
  126. Legions of Chaos can leave Eye of Terror from any diection. But the distubance of warp would scatter them, dropping ships into real-space lightyears away from each other, leaving them vulnerale to Imperium patrol fleets. Cadian Gate was the biggest and only one widely known route of to the Eye that didn't scatter fleets.
    140
  127. You will not regret this brother. With courage and honour. this series gets better with every episode and picks up tremendously from ep 7
    139
  128. For the whole larger weapon for the Guard argument, they do actually provide bolters as a squad weapon, but since they're so heavy they are more emplacement deals than anything mobile. Additionally, the incredibly low chance to ever come across a space marine would make a specific anti-marine weapon more costly than beneficial; it's much easier to just move around other marine chapters to counter their evil counterparts.
    138
  129. I laughed about what he said about the people retreating down the hallway because they know they can basically do nothing to these monstrous machines of war and are just trying to get away before they're turned to mulch
    137
  130. Just started watching, but had to take a moment to appreciate the use of Charlie Chaplin

  131. This is how you do a reaction! With pauses and interesting commentary. I'm sick of all the reaction channels where they just sit there and go "oh damn... Shit" and occasionally nod or just eat food. Have a like my man!
    136
  132. I think the smoke grenade was just a decoy, instead of throwing a frag and being force to wait in no man lands for it to go off.
    131
  133. Wait, there's a whole other video by Bricky. Are you going to react to that one too?
    129
  134. Imagine living on that one bug infested homeworld in Starship Trooper... It can get that bad.
    128
  135. 8:10 Kriegs man will follow orders from higher up no matter what. They can make decision for themselfe for sure but they are usualy in the mindset of "the higher ups know it better". Party because in Krieg to advance on the ranks you need to start from the bottom, so they pretty much assume that the general had past war experiences as well.
    128
  136. Send me a message on here if you’d like to have me on your podcast.

  137. When the quote mentioned the bullet being an ancient thing, you gotta remember that 40k is 40 thousand years into the future. Guns are as ancient to them as spears are to us.
    127
  138. How the hive-mind works are through whats is called the synapse field. The bigger Tyranid beastes project the hiveminds influence working like relays for the hivemind and when Tyranids are out of snips they act a lot like normal animals. So it's possible that they recognize one of their numbers was killed and are now coshes getting ready to probe attack like you can scare of wolves by taking out one of their numbers and spooking them.
    127
  139. 2:18 "Couldn't he just engineer himself with the enzyme to digest milk?" Though plausable, the image of a literal Demi-God altering his own genetic structure so he can drink the cow juice is absolutely hilarious to me.
    125
  140. The Tyranid Hive Mind does not actually direct every single bioform. The individual Tyranid organisms are actually quite autonomous, and will behave like wild animals of varying degrees of intelligence when not being actively ordered around. A single lower-ranking Tyranid organism in a standoff against a lone injured Guardsman does not warrant the attention of the Hive Mind, so the Tyranid will probably be left to act solely on instinct, especially if this is in the later stages of a successful counter assault where there might not be many synapse creatures extending the influence of the Hive Mind and relaying more specific orders. This phenomenon is actually kind of terrifying, because the Tyranid vanguard can sometimes be sent so far ahead of the Hive Fleets that they will go feral and integrate with the local ecosystem; it's hinted that many of the exotic creatures found throughout the galaxy like the Fenrisian Kraken may be Tyranids that arrived in the Milky Way thousands or even millions of years ahead of the Hive Fleets.
    125
  141. 19:56 "And once they made it up the first time, no one ever tried to improve on it." That's basically the Imperium in a nutshell.
    123
  142. Tyranid strategy in direct combat is overwhelming numbers. The grunt-level Tyranids receive only the most basic of directions from whatever hive nexus is relaying imformation from the ships in orbit. They mostly are just used in human wave-style tactics. The Hive Mind reserves its advanced thinking and strategies for its best operators, the organisms that are meant to act like scalpels rather than hammers. Another thing to remember about Gestalts is that they aren't really a single great mind except in rare exception. The Hive would have had to specifically evolve that trait universally across its entire genome range which would leave it open in other respects. The Tyranids are more of a Gestalt in the sense that they have the ability to connect, communicate, and coordinate across vast distances, forming a pseudo-superconsciousness within an area in which its organisms are concentrated. What this essentially means in plain English is that not every Tyranid organism is constantly in connection with the gestalt consciousness, it operates on animistic instincts programmed into it by the Hive's bio-engineering processes until it receives orders from whatever bioform is acting as a relay for the local swarm. The Guardsman was basically facing a pack of incredibly efficient and well-sculpted predators, not the Hive Mind acting directly through those organisms as the Tyranids haven't really evolved that way.
    123
  143. I find it extremely interesting that you point out that you would need all these extra organs to make a 400 pound human live at all without breaking down. Because that is exactly what happened to the Astartes predecessors, the Legiones Cataegis, Thunder Warriors. Their bodies would gradually start failing, killing them before the regular humans lifespan.
    122
  144. the fight between orks and tyranids is INSANE. for instance orks fight tyranids on a cellular level so the Nid microbes that break down matter actually have to FIGHT ork microbes . meaning any ork to actually reach maturity during a tyranid invasion will be insanely strong . and this "fighting " will actually make the orks mature quicker so a tyranid VS ork fight might best represent an immovable object vs an unstoppable force.
    118
  145. It is possible that while traveling between galaxys the tyranids hive fleet will mostly cease living with only the most critical parts going into hibernation and then just coasting until approaching a galactic plane and waking the hibernating units who then consume the frozen carcasses of the dead hive fleet using this bio matter to make a new hive fleet.
    118
  146. I'm fairly certain that what bricky is referring to about the eldar growing complacent is a post scarcity scenario. the idea being that if a society reaches a point of advancement where they no longer have to even manage their own systems they grow complacent. also for your eye question it was the epicenter of the eldar empire, and eldar can reproduce but slannesh constantly is tugging at their souls slowly draining the alive. to combat this the craftworld eldar use special artifacts they wear that can store their souls when they die and can be put into constructs. also they look down on other species and naturally live thousands of years.
    116
  147. The need for literacy would not be ridiculous when taken into account that Cadia needed more guns in hand than commanders and there were more than enough officers around. Besides they said prioritised over, not abandoned entirely.
    116
  148. The end moment wasn't the marine destroying the objective. The techpriest had grabbed the book and ran through an escape tunnel. It looks like the marine overcharged his plasma pistol to the point of it exploding, and was probably trying to collapse the entrance to the escape tunnel?
    116
  149. Mandaloregaming did a good video on where the game came from and some of it's mechanics, and Rimmy did another talking about the aftermath of the Sseth video on the Space Station 13 community in case you're interested. Also, more stories from both, which is my favorite part
    115
  150. Yes, those are all real things you can do in the game. It's amazing.
    115
  151. Most Imperial vehicles do have the option to mount a Bolter in the Hull. Also the Guard does take Bolters and Heavy Bolters in their Heavyweapons Teams.
    113
  152. Some clarification: - The Mordian Iron Guard behave the way they do because it's considered to be such an honor to be in the military on their harsh world. Much of their usefulness comes from the fact that enemies assume they can't fight, but once the worst troops have been weeded out, the remaining veteran guardsman tend to put up more of a fight than expected. - Space marines do have genetic diversity because most of them are naturally born human children who compete for the privilege of being modified rather than clones. - Salamander marines' gene-seed, which is what they use to convert normal human DNA into that of a space marine, turns their skin extremely dark to help protect them, as they tend to specialize in hot, volcanic, and/or radioactive environments. - Officially, the Imperium claims there are around 1,000 chapters of space marines, each with no more than 1,000 active marines, or battle brothers, at any one time. But only 300 - 400 chapters are actually known, and there's really no way to keep track of how many marines there are in the galaxy. The Inquisition suspects the Black Templars, and possibly many other chapters, lie to them about how many marines they have, and actually have far more than 1,000 marines. - Games Workshop encourages fans to make up their own regiments, chapters, or even legions if they want.

  153. I dont think Russia can pull soldiers off the front fast enough to defend Moscow. I think if they dont have a big enough garrison in Moscow, the Russian government will relocate.
    111
  154. The primarchs "disappeared" after the horus heresy, now each chapter is led by a space marine called a chapter master, although in recent times the ultramarines primarch has returned to turn the tides of war.
    111
  155. im not retreating, im advancing in a different direction.

  156. To understand the Mechanicus, remember that many of the things mankind used to use during the Dark Age of Technology used sentient AIs. The "Ghost in the machine" is a very real concept to them, and they can and will kill Mechanicus goons who are not careful. Also remember that a lot of human tech from the DAOT is both incredibly overpowered (since mankind was incredibly advanced back then) and has been through both the Age of Strife (5000 years of neglect and infighting) and the Horus Heresy (where part of the Mechanicus joined Horus and fought against the other). Kill programs and such, alongside chaotic taint and unhappy ancient AIs make for a very hazardous working environment through which the Mechanicus has to sift through and hope to see the light of day.

  160. The US reserves aren't entirely Unique in thay aspect, I've heard of Russian Reserves also being about as good as the line forces. However the Imperium's use of their reserves is put back by the aspects of their space travel which in terms of time in void and travel, view it more as analogous to the age of sail reserve forces. The US minute men, etc. The Reserves can't be readily brought up and into wider world conflicts easily, unlike modernly where reserves can be brought over to Iraq without huge issues. From world to world is at best a few weeks to months long journey with a estimated 1% casualties rate from both the passengers, crew and cargo. So the Imperium uses different designations but with a rough equivalent that a vet can recognize. So the Imperial Guard crusading forces= active duty Imperial Guard Garrison forces= Reserve Planetary Defense Force = ranging from local government recognized militias, to militarized police forces to National Guard. TEMPESTUOUS Scions= army rangers, marines "force recon" Space Marines= Navy Seals if Navy Seals were also Knight orders in the middle ages.
    107
  161. The shadow in the warp isn't blocking the warp. Its more like the jamming as each tyranid has a pyskic link to the hive mind it just overwhelmed everything else. Imagine having a conversation with someone a few feet away. Now Imagine a hundred other people suddenly appearing and having a loud conversation among themselves it would be hard to continue your conversation right this is the best analogy I could think of
    106
  162. One of my favorite quotes in 40k (I'm paraphrasing I don't remember it at the top of my head) "A space marine is stronger, faster, smarter, tougher and equipped with the best armor and weapons in the imperium and we are not, but charged to do the same things as they are! Welcome to the guard boy!"
    106
  163. The thing with the eldars fall is, they already empire built. They are millions of years old, that empire was built. The webway you mentioned? Not at all recent shit that thing wasn’t even made by them. They took it from the Old Ones and expanded on it a bit. When he said everyth8ng was done, he wasn’t lying, they built up everything. They even evaded death, eldar prior to their fall, they literally resurrected right after. So after millions of years, they would get bored, cause they had literally done everything, cause they were undying and there was no struggle and every art mastered. So they gradually did riskier and riskier things to get some enjoyment for their eternity, until after eons it became as bad as it did. Its the question of if you went to heaven, with how long eternity is, how long before you simply get bored with existence forever?
    106
  164. I don't think all chapters force recruits to murder each other, but the trials are always really harsh for any human, even an adult and these are kids.
    102
  165. actually, going back wounded is a shame for them: not only did you not die for the emperor, you are using up ressources and supplie that good soldier could use to sacrifice their live later. kriegmans routing? The only time where it will happen is against catastrophic odds that they didnt saw coming (tyranids, chaos lifeform/space marine/ dark eldar...). the commissar in their squad is literraly there to stop them from sacrificing themselve too fast. ... no its super sound, what they failed to achieve while alive, they will help in death as their bodies are used by their comrades as sandbag a bit further on the battlefield or at least telling them where suppressive fire start (... god that was dark). you forgots duds, those happen a lots. the krieg guy was just ready to charge in regardless of if it explode or not. he was just lucky the chaos dude saw it, otherwise he would have kept looking at the battlefield.
    102
  166. Do not underestimate an army of lunatics for they will act as such.
    102
  167. Just for perspective: they were the security detail for the actual courier. They were driving an armoured Toyota Land Cruiser. I believe (still to be confirmed) that he rammed the Blavk Audi that attacked them onto a bollard to disable them when he got stuck in the end. His name is Leo Prinsloo and he is ex SAPS Special Task Force, so extremely well trained.
    100
  168. 25:20 I also appreciate they all seem to have different interests. Kulawski (Kowalski?) seems excited about the anomalous runes only revealed by the camera and his buddy is so nonplussed. Great detail in addition to their body types you just mentioned.
    98
  169. 13:00 I wonder if your also able to tell who is an actual veteran in the cast just by looking at them here. I know another Military Veteran guessed right about who it was here.

  171. Go with lutin09 and his videos (marine creation is there too). He have video about "head grenades" that will make you interested in something abstract like those "nades" :)
    94
  172. I love that literally every point you had was addressed by the end of the show and has a logical and satisfactory explanation to even the stupidest of things we've observed in episode 1. Literally every point! Amazing discussion, but you CAN react to 10 minutes worth of anime on Youtube per video.
    92
  173. T'au are the defacto "weeb" faction, but people will go out of their way to make almost every faction a weeb faction. Trust me.
    92
  174. in all fairness to the death korps, I believe they do use other tactics that are enhanced by the fact that they will never break, rout, or get exhausted. They'll fight to their dying breath with 100% certainty, the enemy will run out of places to retreat to eventually. Not to mention they do use troop transports and fast movers (like the enhanced cavalary we saw in the sodaz video) to close the gap while their proficiency with concentrated artillery can be used to break an enemy. You don't see it often in their images and such, but they do utilize armored formations and air support, it's just the focus with them is on their men. With their cloning and such ways to reinforce their numbers they're more than happy to war of attrition an enemy down. As for titans, they're often equipped with a myriad of weapons including area of effect missile launchers, chainguns, cannons, etc. A salvo from a larger titan can carve a swathe through an army, not to mention the psychological effect of this mechanical monster plowing its way towards you. Titan killer tanks do exist, I believe the baneblade Shadowsord Titanicus has weapons effective against titans, but baneblades are also considered a superheavy rare tank and its variants even moreso. Normal tanks couldn't handle the weapons needed to even scratch a titan, and this also assumes the titan doesn't recognize said tank and vaporize it (Titans have void shields, tanks don't and I'm quite sure the titan has far more range). And for the command structure, the Imperium is too vast to really enforce any kind of centralized stable command structure. Space marines were given their authority to act autonomously (to an extent) by the emperor himself, the inquisition's job is to root out potentially sector ending threats before it begins or gets out of control, if that means sacrificing a battle or a campaign, oh well; greater good and all that. The inquisition can't exactly field an army itself regardless as they'd become too bloated to be effective. You're right about the sisters of battle, the imperium actually didn't want the church getting that much power, but during the age of apostasy they got so much support and their influenced swelled so vastly, that any move against them could ignite a second civil war. So the Imperium is kinda stuck with them and their fair degree of autonomy.

  175. 11:39 those are heretics where the influence of chaos has infiltrated their minds. Of course they wont be clear

  176. I found this answer in reddit that may explain better than I can about the nature of th Emperor and his actions on the Xenos: "There are a lot of historical matters that figure into the Imperial attitude with regard to xenos. First, during the time of turmoil, when humanity was fragmented, many humans were subjugated or worse, made into feed stock, for various xenos. Secondly, many humans modified themselves or were modified, some allowed AI's to take over (in Warhammer 40k, AI's are almost universally open to Chaos infection), generally, humans were either puppets or food, or not really human any more. Thirdly, one of the dangers of Chaos taking the human race was human extinction, humanity being mutated and changed to the point were being "human" was meaningless. The humans who were subjugated by xenos were all too willing as well to embrace an Emperor who commanded that "[...]this galaxy will be a human galaxy". To answer your question, he was not xenophobic, for the Emperor fears none, He was a misxenonist (alien hating), specieist. The memory of the Metal Men and the havoc they wreaked led to the taboo against machine intelligence. Many Psychers were also responsible for many crimes against normal humans, and so they too must endure many pacifications and purifications, to ensure they do not abuse their powers or fall to Chaos. And finally, those who lead men astray by convincing them to rebel against the Emperor, wrongly thinking they can brave the terror of the galaxy alone, who seek to break humanity apart again, their heresy is in a way an invitation to all the other heresies. In this galaxy such taboos and hatreds do not prop up the Emperors government, for the Emperor did not need such political props. They did however serve to ensure human unity, and the continuance of the Empire of Man, which the Emperor was swift to remind anyone that got confused about why the Emperor did what he did. And finally, no, he did not have this in mind at first, During humanities golden age, which he was partly responsible for, there was no policy of aggresive extermination, because humanity was simply too powerful to be challenged by any xeno. But that was before the fall of the Eldar, the ravages of the Metal Men, and mankind's hubris leading to internal war..." [Deleted] 7 years ago.

  177. The reason why he rushes through the Space Marines bit is mostly because when it comes to the Imperium Space Marines have a STUPIDLY RIDICULOUS amount of lore, like there's so many chapters within the universe that have their own lore that some are just glossed over. To cover every single last Space Marine chapter would require a series on its own. Every chapter sort of views humanity under a much different lens, to use the Salamanders for example their biggest mandate is protecting the average Imperial citizen, whether that be a Guardsman or a village of civilians. Which is, more often than not at the cost of their very lives. The Marines Malevolent by contrast; view humanity with such a massive disgust that there is legitimately an entry in the lore where during the Third War for Armageddon, instead of evacuating a city of civilians and Guard troopers being overwhelmed by Orks the Captain bombed the city to ruin with artillery, killing millions of Orks AND humans inside before moving in and mopping up the surviving Orks. When the Salamanders Chapter Master found out about it he was FURIOUS, he went into the Captain's camp and openly punched him in the face in front of his men and then proceeded to chew him out. The Crimson Fists were originally indifferent towards civilians but because of the Orks sieging their homeworld which led to the near extinction of their chapter and the death of the planet they developed an extremely close relationship with the planets civilians going out of their way to make sure any citizen survived. There's even an entry in one of their novels where, while retreating from a horde of Orks, one of the Crimson Fists sees a mother trying to flee with her kid and so he rushes over and picks them both up in his arms saying "You spent so long carrying them, now its my turn to carry you". There is also another novel where a fractured squad of Crimson Fists are stuck behind Ork lines and have to form a resistance group with surviving PDF soldiers and some civilians to sabotage and harass the Orks for as long as possible not knowing when reinforcements would arrive. The Raven Guard have a small soft spot for the lower class Imperial citizen given their background as previously after their Primarch Corvus Corax was reunited with their Legion. Many of the original Legionnaires from their homeworld of Kiavahr were formerly enslaved labor by the planets former leadership and so have a distinct hatred for dictators and what they see as tyrants, as such they frequently deploy to out-of-the-way backwater Imperial worlds that the wider Imperium would normally not bother with to perform assassinations of an enemy's command structure, sabotaging supply lines or attacking communications. Overall doing as much damage as possible to make things as easier as possible for the frontline forces. The Space Wolves are actually an interesting case as they have a particular dislike for certain types of authority, going out of their way to rescue those that would otherwise be deemed expendable and still accomplishing the mission even if it isn't the way others want them to. The most infamous of this was the First War for Armageddon against the forces of Chaos as, after the conflict ended. The Lord Inquisitor leading the Inquisitorial forces ordered all survivors, Guardsmen and civilians alike to be rounded up, sterilized and placed in labor camps to pave the way for new colonists to come to the planet. The Space Wolves were disgusted by this as multiple cities on the planet had no contact with the daemonic forces that were attacking the frontlines, while many of the Guardsmen were soldiers that had fought and died alongside the Space Wolves. And so Logan Grimnar, in one of his very first campaigns as the Great Wolf (Chapter Master) of the Space Wolves, ordered that any civilians and guardsmen they could onto evacuation refugee ships and; in a VERY rare moment in this chapters lore that instead of opening fire upon the Inquisitorial forces, they used their own ships as shields to protect the evacuation ships as they escaped, scattering them so widely across the galaxy that not even the Inquisition was able to catch them all. This led into what is known as the Months of Shame, a small mini-civil war between the Space Wolves, Inquisition and the Grey Knights chapter but that is its own story.

  178. So why don't you give every gaunt two hearts and three lungs? Because gaunts are expendable. They are made with as little biomass as tyranids can get away with. They don't even have digestive tracts, as they're expected to die in their first engagement or failing that live on the fat reserves that are barely enough to last to the next engagement.
    84
  179. If you’re really interested in the “In’s and Outs” of the Inquisition I recommend the Eisenhorn Trilogy. The first three books Xenos, Hereticus, and Malleus are all on Audible
    84
  180. 18:41 you perfectly nailed it, the games been built up over a very very long time.
    84
  181. Outback South Australia checking in.
    83
  182. 6:39 yeah,pretty unrealistic for our “today’s world standards” but for the humans of the 40k that’s more effective than a load of morfine and steroids especially in these type of situations
    83
  183. “I would have liked more info about the battles, stratagy etc” So would we….. so would we…. Gw literally had this all happen in a paragraph or two of lore in a very thin book to rush out primaris marines instead of the massive book series it should have been.
    81
  184. i watched the movie several times now but never noticed the anime pin on one of the dudes xD
    81
  185. 50% mortality rate? Laughs in imperial guard Major respect to your expert dissemination of how things work/are supposed to work btw
    80
  186. Bricky is partly right about Eldar souls. Normally, an Eldar soul will go straight to Slaanesh, but there are many ways to stop this. Craft Worlds has these things called an infinity circuit, where they’re able to keep the soul of an Eldar bound to the Craftworld they live on. Also, Craftworld Eldar have these things called Spirit Stones. When an Eldar dies while in possession of these stones, their soul goes into said stone and hopefully an ally picks up and protects said stones, otherwise they can still be broken and then the soul goes to Slaanesh. Something very interesting, is that souls within the Infinity Circuit can be put into the Eldar’s version of titans called Wraith Knights. The soul of the deceased can still fight on for their craft world. Kinda like a Dreadnought.

  187. I like how he accidentally explained the culture of the Mechanicus while reflecting on wikipedia.

  188. I find your battlefield analyst spot on I'm a Vietnam vet from your AR I agree Russia is disposing of good troops just throwing them like food to a hungry animal I feel bad for these troops but keep it up Ukraine 🇺🇦 you got this use patient and strategic planning
    79
  189. Heavy bolters are used as crew served weapons in the IG.
    78
  190. Big E also became a chaos god (of sorts) onto himself. He has his daemons/living saints, he has his champions on who he bestows blessings, and even a domain within the warp where the one who pledged their souls go when they die. He would not be happy
    76
  191. MTF or mobile task force in scp are very interesting and have a specialty of there own, if the first scout failed and the anomaly aint contain they will review the data gathered and send a specialized MTF that deal said anomaly for example if said anomaly is beyond human they might send the tau 5 also known to the fans as power rangers. If the anomaly got the attention of 05 council they will send Alpha 1 and etc. If the anomaly is beyond the foundation control they might issue a use of other scp or issue a execute order but these orders are very rare. To answer some question I saw from part 1 - to finale, MTF do use paranormal or anomalous weapon, the thing is the foundation is very thorough with handling those weapon because last time it create an scp that can destroy realities and the other create more anomalies. Why guns its basic equipment and low chance to create a side effect or another catasthrophic anomalous effect this is why some of them use old looking tech you will never know if said anomaly has great effect on advance technology. Can Ghost be shoot by gun?, well it depends on how strong reality holds the ghost, in scp universe they have a level for that, if reality holds stronger even ghost can be shot. In conclusion the foundation in front papers look like this unorganized or a low ball organization but behind they do there job seriously until Doctor Bright got drunk or a outside or inside force interfere.
    76
  192. First to comment I know it's their style but still the Death Korps of Krieg really need to update their grenades.
    75
  193. From what I've seen so far, there are 4 potential ways this happened: 1. Israel deliberately hit this hospital because they maybe believed Hamas was using it for militarily purposes. 2. Israel accidentally hit it due to targeting failure. 3. Hamas accidentally hit the hospital. Interesting to note that there was a hamas rocket barrage launched literally seconds before the hospital was hit. Possible rocket malfunction leading to explosion at the hospital? 4. Hamas deliberately attacked the hospital for propaganda purposes to discredit Israel and encourage support from neighbouring countries. As of now I believe option 3 is the most likely but do not dismiss any of them as possible.
    75
  194. The Tau are the anime faction, the Eldar are the Hentai faction.
    75
  195. before each battle the krieg say "In life, war. In death, peace. In life, shame. In death, atonement."
    75
  196. If you watch "If the Emperor had a text-to-speech device" you actually get a lot of lore in this comedy show. I personally prefer the series for the nature of chaos and its gods as well as the whole how did things start early on.
    74
  197. When a primarch is present, they basically have unlimited gene-seed. But since most primarchs are away/dead/lost, really weird rituals came up as a way to filter for selection.
    74
  198. “Calm and cold under pressure” someone please tell him about the black templar chapter...plz

  199. "What are they gonna do? Shoot you with a tank?" Baneblade: "You talking to me?"

  200. To be fair, Blood Angels have faster vehicles and faster troops and they are red space marines.
    72
  201. You absolutely have to watch THE WHOLE anime, its so damn good. The only problem is spoilers, most people cant help themselves and the plot is so good you really dont want to get spoiled
    72
  202. Astartes terminators are the veteran space marines who rose through the ranks of the chapter and found themselves restationed to the chapter's first company. Of all the honors awarded for valor and service to space marines, terminators are the creme of the crop. Alongside their veteran status, terminators are given more advanced terminator armor, which is stronger, bigger, and more functional than your normal battle brothers. Often times these suits will include void shield generators or teleporter arrays, and for times when they support their brothers in combat, a terminator brings a shoulder mounted deathstrike missile launcher. All terminators where a special badge on their shoulderplate called the crux terminatus, it is a specially designed badge said to possess a tiny fragment of the very armor the emperor himself wore when he was still whole. If a terminator falls and the armor(and by extension the terminatus badge) is not recovered, it is considered a shame that reflects on the chapter at fault. Chapter masters, chaos lords, and even the primarchs themselves were known to where their own specialized suits of terminator armor, the suits representing status and serving additional battlefield applications.
    71
  203. Wait until you learn about the Eldar that spawned slaneesh, I promise you can't blame that one on humans
    70
  204. The gods don't really care about the black crusades all that much. Its mainly Abbadon organizing them. The gods rarely, if ever, directly intervene in mortal affairs unless its their champions or some other notable figure.
    70
  205. Almost all the loyalist primarchs are dead or missing. The legions under the primarchs were split into the chapters. Remember no centralized legion anymore. They were broken up and became their own thing.
    69
  206. As for eldar, because they're so emotional and emotions attract demons, their military uses special techniques to suppress their emotions. Professional eldar warriors engineer split personality incapable of any higher emotion, known as "war mask" that takes over in battle. While Eldar reservists are lead to battle by Warlocks - battle psykers who are trained to project emotion-dampening fields.
    68
  207. The Dune comparison is right 40k is heavily inspired by Dune From the name Imperium, to the rule of a God-Emperor, to the use of Navigators for space travel
    67
  208. 11:48 Actually this really used a lot in 40k but you must remember if you have a fleet your enemy probably have one too, so free bombardement without retaliation can't happen often. Keep in mind a planet defense or orbital defense platform can prevent a lot of ships to take position. On top of that city-sized void shield are also a thing, in the case of tabletop you can use orbital bombardement. (sorry for the bad english)
    67
  209. “Losing it over sisters of battle and drop pod churches” To bad bricky never went into the walking churches in these videos..... Mechanicus wise, as with everything in 40k, it’s complicated. The mechanicus has multiple factions in it. Some believe emperor is the omnisiah, others that he’s not but merely the human who came closest to the perfection of the omnisiah either bodily( there are magos biologists who aim for biological perfection as organisms being machines themselves or that they should enhance themselves without losing humans form) and others that neither exists and try to make daemon machines or understand alien tech etc. As for why tech is regressing in 40k imagine modern day if one day the internet and electricity just goes away and how many people in modern times have any idea how to build even simple machines from the ground up. That’s pretty much 40k. Golden age humanity advanced to pretty much Star Trek levels with almost replicator tech that they relied on for building pretty much anything. And then it started to go terminator on them and even in modern day how many people have encyclopedias or construction manuals for building things
    67
  210. In 40k, english language is known as a Low Gothic.(Latin is a High Gothic). Though due to lack of mass mandatory school education, many people (most people really) are probably speaking it's dialects, which might as well be called separate languages in some cases.

    65
  214. That's the thing about 40k. You actually can open a portal to hell from which demons will pour out if you ritualistically murder millions of people. Some of those demon summoning rituals will feed off of a battle.
    65
  215. I love your content, Paul. Thank you so much for giving us this information. It pisses me off, though, how come I have to go to YouTube channels like yours to get this information? How come the regular mainstream news doesn't report on these things? So frustrating...
    64
  216. I didn´t read the novel (yet), but the reason why Grimaldus is so pissed of with the salamanders is because he truly believe he will die in this war, and when you kill an ork warboss, theyr army fall into chaos. They would stop to operate coordinated and the biggest orks would start to killing each other, along with theyr loyal ork boys, to find out who is the new warboss. Basicaly that would make the life of Grimaldus and Hells Reach easier for a time after the Salamanders leave the city. So Grimaldus took that personal.
    64
  217. One of the jobs of the commissariat is to inspire the guardsmen during combat into acts of self sacrifice with the exception being the ones assigned to the Death Korps who's job it is to prevent the Kriegers from needlessly throwing their lives away en mass.
    63
  218. the chaos gods are basically like the nice human gods you mentioned... but turned super edgy and dark
    63
  219. Luck is probably referred to as "The Blessing of the Emperor", and honestly a very sound concept for the Imperium.
    63
  220. Other organizations can request The Custodian's aid but never can command them to aid. They are so high and renowned in the imperium that even high level inquisitors can't tell them what to do. They can ignore orders from inquisitors and they can do nothing about it because they are one of the only few that cannot and will not take orders from them. I have heard that some custodians have disrespected inquisitors to their face and the inquisitor could not do anything. Inquisitors always get what they want so it shocks them that for once they could not order and control something. So basically they can’t command each other. In the book, Carrion throne there is this quote " A rosette(Inquisitional symbol) could halt many things, but not, he guessed, that spear(The guardian spear is the signature weapons of the custodes, a power spear with a boltgun on the end)". The Inquisitor in this quote threatened the Custodes with that symbol and the custodes just laughed at it. "There was something like a laugh then, rumbling up from the heart of that rococo armor- a deep fleeting amusement at the audacity at it."

    61
  226. Ukraine is usually using Mavic 3, not Mavic 2. And the Mavic 3 has 46 minutes max flight time. I have both drones, so I know that the real world flight time is also much longer with the Mavic 3 than the Mavic 2. And I also do recharging in the field with the Mavic 3. Always recharging two other batteries while you fly the drone, will get you practially infinite flight time.
    61
  227. Magnus has a version of his model where he’s a cyclops with a giant eye in the center of his forehead. He looks super derpy
    60
  228. I believe there’s something in the lore that mentions the Boltors shoot something similar to what we would call .75 caliber rounds. It’s definitely sci-fi, but they’re pretty much micro rockets.
    60
  229. Yes, a person can get sick in the warp cause they are still physical beginnings but just in the warp. And nurgel is in the warp so the grandfather of plagues is there and he can even infect other daemons with his plagues
    60
  230. The Death Korps of Krieg's doctorine is more or less "10,000 dead to gain 1 cm of ground? VICTORY! May my death in the service of the emperor, earn redemption."
    58
  231. ~5:00 The whole thing about the military being extremely protective of their gear reminds me of an incident we had in germany a few years ago : Someone appearently left a Bundeswehr training-rocket launcher (or something similar - important is, it was "only" for training) out on a field without supervision and when the picture of that thing just lying there started to go around social media, officials started losing their shit. In the end it wasn't a huge deal - the training device was collected and all, but I was surprised how much fuzz people started to make about something meant for training. Thinking about it now, it makes sense I guess - the Bundeswehr, just like any other military, issues specific weapons. If someone were to acquire one of these weapons, even just a training weapon, they could gain information the Bundeswehr wouldn't want to go out. Also the whole aspect of our own military just leaving equipment out in the open for everyone to grab might've played a role.
    58
  232. I wish you get through more of the video at a time, because some of your concerns may be addressed later.
    57
  233. if you want to imagine the Warp and its effect on humans, watch Event Horizon. the movie is unofficially considered to be part of the 40k universe, detailing the very first attempt of faster than light travel thru an alternate universe aka The Warp and how unprotected travel thru the Warp will drive you insane or be possessed by demonic entities.

    54
  239. Funny that the codex is likely inspired by the Knights Templar, but the chapter named after them is codex non-compliant.

  246. My favorite t'au meme was rice fields in the background and a tau fire warrior with a drone disk on his helm and saying 'welcome to the rice fields Gue'la' (Gue'la being tau for human)
    52
  247. I started watching your channel for 40k stuff, but I also really enjoyed hearing your commentary on this. Please consider doing breakdowns on videos like this more in the future. I would love to hear your commentary on other crazy shootouts and whatnot caught on tape.
    51
  248. they are mind wiped so they want someone whos strong instinctively so their memory of trauma goes away and then they are indoctrinated into the imperial truth
    51
  249. It's important to remember that the chaos gods have both good and bad sides to them. Khorne is the god and murder and death but also of honour and courage. Nurgle is the god of stagnation and decay but also of peace and rebirth. Tzeentch is the god of trickery but also knowledge and change both good and bad. Slaanesh is the god of pain and excess but also of pleasure and sensation. As it is with all things in 40k, there is no black or white, just different shades of grey.
    50
  250. The crime here in South Africa is distressing. Anyways great video
    49
  251. eversor is an analog of tactical nuke. You drop him into the center of crowd, and he will kill until he is killed or there's nobody to kill. It's the assassin which is used for terror, or destruction. They are hypnotically programmed before the mission, some basic intel is given of course.
    49
  252. the end goal of the chaos gods is to set the galaxy in fire so that everyone's intense emotion just overwhelm the warp with raw power. The legion basically broke after they lost the Horus heresy, the way of the chaos gods encourage betrayal and everyone pointing fingers at each other for the defeats meant that a lot of them make a big "FU" to everyone and new alliances had to be made later. Angron was a kind of empathic medic, but the planet where he landed enslaved him as a gladiator, since he did not wanted to fight they implanted him with the "butcher's nail" (his kind of metal dreadlocks) it basically turn all emotion except hates, anger into pain. At the end he was mostly only a mindless berserker killing friends and foes before Lorgar turned him into a deamon primarch to "save" him. his legion where the first one to split due to ... not really having a leader. The first thing the legions did when they turned chaos was to send all the element that the primarch thought where loyalist on a "campaign" and them bomb them from space. Still some escape and fought on the loyal side has "black shield" during the heresy. The chaos space marines spent so much time in the warp that most of their geneseed is corrupted and mutated, they are usually not able to create new marines. so they try to corrupt new ones or steal loyalist geneseed. Horus was "undone" by the emperor but his legion is still a thing. His first captain Abbadon, renamed the sons of Horus the Black legion and manage to keep them relatively united after the fall.

  253. Blood Ravens are a unique Chapter that was created for the Dawn of War games. Nobody knows who their gene-father is, and they live to kill the Imperium’s enemies and dumpster dive rare intelligence and equipment whenever they can

  257. My biggest problem with Tau is that they are such a little threat to anybody that they are not a galactic power. In their first sphere of expansion they conquerd 8systems. In 1400 years. The next sphere 1600 years and they conquerd like 8 systems. Tau didn't even have faster than light travel until recently. So their "empire" consists of at most 20-30 worlds. Conquerd in roughly 3000 years. Yes later spheres had a little bit more successful but it always ended with the imperium showing up and beating them to ground. The imperium just didn't make the killing blow because there were more important things to be addressed. So the only reason the Tau empire still exists because they are such a little threat to the imperium
    47
  258. The Mordian Iron Guard are not just well dressed they are also tough bastards to give them some credit

  259. Gaunt's Ghosts hands down, my favorite 40k novel series. It follows the Tanith 'First and Only' Imperial Guard regiment as they kick chaos' ass across several planets.

  260. The slips of paper are there to keep demons out. Pretty useful considering ships travel through the warp. And the warp being hell's meaner older brother.

  261. To your question about why the mechanicus see the mechanics have lost their scientific understanding of the issue: During the Age of Strife, when Mars and the rest of the planets were isolated from each other by violent warp storms, the thermoformed Mars went into complete anarchy, like the Earth. Mutants, radiation and techno barbarians swept the entire surface of the planet, all infrastructure was reduced to ashes. Some of the people, however, still managed to hide in giant underground shelters, the work of which was supported by technicians, and the health of the colonists by scientists and doctors. The era of discord lasted about five thousand years, during this time the cars began to break down, but there was practically no opportunity to repair them - everything was destroyed, many who knew how to repair the mechanisms were either killed or went crazy. Plus, even before the ege of strife, humans had Men of Iron in their servants - terminators who were tired of serving bags of bones. And they rebelled against the masters. For your better understanding of this catastrophe, some planets, including Mars, have relied entirely on the Men of Iron for their military, or Army. So there was practically no one there who could offer them any resistance. During this time, the iron people killed many colonists and destroyed all the data centers that stored the technologies of Mankind. And just imagine, you have been sitting underground for about five thousand years, praying to the ancient, already falling apart air filtration system and the "technician" who try to fixes it, although he himself does not fully understand how it works. Pray because this is the only thing you can do in this situation.

  263. Seth Zeen Tach He says it himself in the video he announces his website. I doubt meeting the madman would help. He’s probably just a normal neet. Edit: honestly your facial expression alone are worth the reaction. Edit 2: most of the ingredients at papa John’s don’t require refrigeration because they aren’t meant to be stored for very long, ie if you don’t use them fast you toss them out. At least this used to be the method, before they fired Papa for saying “these are bad words and you shouldn’t say them.” Since then, the quality has really gone down.
    45
  264. Actually the machine spirits are based on the fact that stc’s (which their technology is based on) is some form of ai and actually all technology the that the imperium uses has some kind of low level intelligence, proportional to its size and function. There are even instances of power armor fighting on with an animalistic fury for a short time after the occupant has died, and independent actions like these are common in Titans, where the pilots must mind link with a machine spirit to feel like they are one with the titan and drive it, and the spirit is so powerful it’s very taxing on the pilot and it’s been said they more of just guide the bound spirit where to unleash its fury. So it’s more like limited ai and human ai slave hybrids and stuff are ok, just as long as it’s not free or too smart, because then it’s its own faction and might revolt, like in the closing days of the golden age of technology.
    44
  265.  @AAhmou  that is actually tame for some worlds, you can go outside without basically a full biohazard suit and live, there are some death worlds where you step outside without a suit on and you melt.
    43
  266. RANK S : in many references (in anime for instance, like "One punch Man", or many videogames like "Streets of Rage IV"), "S rank" stands for "super" or "special", meaning that it is basically off chart. Above A+.

  267. Yes Richard Boylan same guy behind Helsreach. He is also working with GW Angels of Death.

  268. Humanity tried the whole ai route with his administration doing a menial tasks and even war fighting and of course like every other time, the machines went "Okay, gotta kill all the humans now"

  269. Generally, the chaos gods aren't bad because they're "pure evil" full stop. there's aspects to each god that isn't bad, and is why if you kinda squint at it, and consider how shitty life is in most of the setting, it makes sense that some people would turn to chaos. Khorne is about challenging your self, and glory through combat. Tzeentch representing change also gives hope, as long as there is change you can make things better for yourself. Nurgle is about finality, closure; all living things will eventually die, and return to the dirt, to begin the cycles anew. Slaanesh is about self expression, creativity, the arts, exploring the world and all the things in it with the little time we get. The problem arises from the fact that each god embodies a part of the collective psyche of sentient beings, but turned up to 11 with no filter. Khorne in essence is just a war god/god of violence, which normally isn't necessarily an evil thing. But he's turned up to eleven in that he demands of his followers (and rewards them for doing so) endless atrocities and what you or I would call war crimes in the end goal of offering more and more violently ended lives to an insatiable appetite for them. Tzeentch Is about planning and scheming. there's always a back to stab and someone looking to do the same to you. Nurgle causes so much pain and suffering through plagues, and is the embodiment of the fear of death. Slaanesh in the pursuit of experience and pleasure to all excess encourages destructive use of drugs, gluttony, greed, torture and rape.

  270. Remember guys you will never be as buff as a astartes but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try

  271. Imperium of Man wants to be fascist. Desperately so. But it fails at it. Spectacularly.
    42
  272. The tyranids also do not care if his weapon works or not.
    42
  273. The Death Korp of Kreig riders are actually scouts for the regiment. However, only when the Death Korp need fast reaction forces in certain areas or just need to push in areas that need constant pressure are they sent in.
    41
  274. I always do so enjoy when an Imperial in dire straits prays to the Emperor and is subsequently saved by one of the Emperor's Angels of Death.

  275. Space Wolves are somewhat unusual compared to other Chapters, in that they tend to skew a bit older in their recruits (the lore reason is that the quirks of their process allows it to be more effective on late teens and young adults than other chapters). Fenris is basically "the viking planet" and the Wolves will observe the tribal warfare and raiding looking for promising recruits, and they almost exclusively choose younger warriors who were "killed" in combat in such a way that they can be revived and healed.

  276. Hmm, other than Orks and Squigg, is there other plant based Xeno in Warhammer 40K?

  277. You should check out emporers text to speech by alfabusa. Almost 100% lore accurate and absolutely hilarious!

  279. last part looked like he tried to get over an obstacle and failed at first attempt. he tried it again and got the car stuck on said obstacle.
    39
  280. 23:00 I always hoped that the "hivemind" is in fact emergent intelligence, like how ants build complex anthills. So all tyranids function just with basic instincts, but when all the simple commands come together they make a hive mind of ideas. But knowing GW the Hivemind is probably "warp magic make bug go brr big evil mega brain with lasers and spikes!"

  281. What TTS does best is that it voices all those little questions that you've ever asked, but no one ever answers them. The first season is all about the Emperor getting up to speed on the current goings on in the Imperium, while implementing some new decisions, which in turn drives the underlying storyline forward. It maintains its comedy throughout, episodes gradually get longer and longer, and features a number of spinoffs, including "If the Emperor had a Podcast" and "Bro trip 40,000: A tale of Two Primarchs", "Vox-logs", "Warhams (40K RPG), and other random pieces. All maintain the parody with excellence. We are currently awaiting Episode 30, with baited breath.
    39
  282. In regards how Chaos Space Marines followed their Priamrchs into Chaos. First of, Primarch were incredibly charismatic ( even Angron) and they got sort of strange connettion to their space marines. They revered them as fathers mayebe more. Second point, Big portion of Legions remained Loyal. Primarchs picked those forces in their Legions who they knew would never betray The Emperor and the send them on massive assault against some human rebels, then they bombed them from orbit and assulted what remained of those Loyalist, it was called Istvaan III Atrocity. This was done by the Sons of Horus, Death Guard, Emperors Children and World Eaters. Word Bearers were first to fall to chaos and they were more influenced by their Primarch so most of them joined and those who didnt were slowly killed and replaced by new indoctrinated recruits so by the point of acctual betrayl they were already without dissent. From Iron warriors some remained Loyal but most wanted to fuck the Imperial Fist over so it was easy for them. Night lords were already outcast for their tactics and had not much choice than join Traitors who had much more understanding for their views. Alpha legion were double agents, they joined chaos to destroy chaos by letting Horus win and make him destroy humanity but then some other legionaries joined chaos becuse they wanted and generaly not one legionary knows what actual motive is of the other one is, Who is their Priamarch?, is he guy just next to you or is he acctualy dead, (acctualy I am the real Alpharius) and they all live in their James Bond fan fiction Also not all joined chaos imediatly first it was rebbelion Influenced by chaos agents secretly, slowly the Primarchs and their sons fallen deeper into chaos. The Least devout to worship of Chos are Iron Warriors and Night Lors who use chos as an tool sometimes. Unfortunatly they are still puppets of Chaos powere even If they dont realize it.

  283. I’ve been watching your videos non stop since I ended up in the hospital with leukemia. Really brightens my day when you upload!
    39
  284. dude you should listen to "the all guardsman party" videos, its a story about a group of guardsman that somehow manage to survive the craziest shit in the 40k universe
    39
  285. cough legion of the damned cough
    38
  286. Wow! You're reacting to everything.
    38
  287. I think the comment about literacy is more along the lines of "we won't bother teaching you to read until you show you can survive and be useful", so they focus more on drilling cleaning/line shooting than teaching It is still dumb, but it makes a bit more sense.
    38
  288. I don't even get the hive city one, they were their LONG before the Imperium was even a thing. And getting rid of them will do nothing but displace trillions of people and destroy the Imperium in the process. Not to mention that some worlds are so over populated that there is no other way to deal with it, other than to build hive cities everywhere. How they are run is the problem not the fact that they have them in the first place.
    38
  289. yeah, Vraks was supposed to be a short siege war. only a decade or so long..... The death korp isn't really the imperiums siege experts, they are famous for the dedication, unflinching loyalty, and willingness to sacrifice themselves for the good of the emperor. The alpha legion isn't technically a traitor legion either, they kind of straddle to line between loyalist chapter and traitor legion. One time they will fight for the imperium, another time they will side against it, or they will show up with their own agenda and just screw over both sides to accomplish it. They are mysterious that way, and their primarch suffers from 'I'm sparticus' syndrome seemingly, since he appears to be almost everywhere the alpha marines show up and it's theorized it is just a random space marine claiming to be him most of the time.
    38
  290. Danger stick is my new favorite term for the lasgun. Also thanks for making me rewatch this, I did not get a good look at the astartes' insignia before. He's a Dark Angel.
    38
  291. Imperium does need to do what it does to survive but It's kind of like amputating you arm because it has an infected wound instead of inventing/using antibiotics to treat it.
    37
  292. Let’s try this again watching this and painting model’s time well spent
    37
  293. Never played SS13 but I did play Barotrauma a lot. It's basically the modern spiritual successor but also underwater.
    37
  294. 27:45 Actually there are stories of Orks using actual tactics. Main ones are the Second and Third War of Armageddon.
    36
  295. Dark Elder are just so technologically advanced that they can just do that. They were spacefaring for millions and millions of years. The Orks getting smaller and dumber is just due to genetic instability over millions of years since being designed.
    36
  296. It is very suitable for Warhammmer 40000. It begins by talking about reasonable (if exaggerated) military tactics employed by a group of elite supersoldiers and quickly moves on to combat against psychics (still with conventional tactics) and ends with a totally supernatural and surreallist event where no conventional military logic can be applied. Very appropriate to the setting.
    36
  297. The Chaos Space Marines (or CSM) don't have CHAPTERS but are composed of Warbands and Legions. And the black and yellow stripes are the colours of the Iron Warriors Legion (one of the original 18 Legions that betrayed the Emperor during the Horus Heresy). They and the Imperial Fists (another original legion turned chapter) kinda hate each other for reasons that go back all the way to the Great Crusade. And lascannon can screw Space Marine up without any trouble. It's just the dreadnaughts have very THICK and durable armor. Or that exact dreadnaught is protected by warp or is very technologically advanced (since everything from the Great Crusade (except Space Marine armour) is very advanced for nowadays Imperium. And the CSM Legions have only stuff from the Great Crusade. And lascannons are not one-shot at all. They, like lasguns, are powered by charging packs. And Power Hammer, which is shown here, is more effective than mostly any man-portable long-range weapon that is available to the Imperium now. Like Power weapons can cut anything except other power weapons. And the Imperial Guard is NOT MEANT to fight CSM. At all. They're too human for that. Also - the technology has downgraded and that's all. The weapons that can kill a Space Marine AND can be carried by a Guardsman cost more than like a 100 guardsman. And the Astartes are so overpowered that they can shoot the grenade while it's flying. And maybe those explosives are working only because it has direct hit with NO distance between the epicenter of the explosion and the CSM. So a grenade wouldn't be effective. Astartes didn't destroy an important object at the end, since a techpriest (guy in red robes and a mask with blue lenses) got it away. Astartes simply wanted to kill more CSM with that.
    36
  298. I really enjoyed your videos over the others I've found on youtube for these shorts. I think what really sets you apart is the fact you actually explain the reasoning or purpose behind the things they do, along with adding stories about your time overseas in action. A lot of the other ones I've seen give me the feeling that they haven't actually been deployed for anything "serious" and were just overhyping their own bad-assery after passing training. Your videos were super informative and take into account it was a small budget scifi film with amateur actors. Not gonna lie, it was a big plus just to watch someone have a positive and excited reaction instead of spewing negativity. Also huge shout out for pointing out the differing body types, think it was the second part. I grew up on military bases and never ended up completing basic training but you were on point about special forces/military guys having wildly differing body shapes. It's really rare to see shorter, stockier guys or the skinnier taller guys getting featured, when in my experience, half of my military parent's armoured platoon were scrawny looking thin guys with patchy mustaches and not chiseled Captain Americas haha. Keep up the good content, gonna have to go through your other videos even though I'm not a 40k fan.
    36
  299. When he said "That looked like some pretty serious problem solving" I died! What a way to describe dealing with a corrupted psyker
    35
  300. When the combat trauma gets to a Space Marine you might end up with Chaos Space Marines
    35
  301. Excellent coverage & hands-down, the best coverage of this incident that I've seen.
    35
  302. It's inevitable that they're going to get sick of this war. I hope they learn their lesson and start to admit the truths about things. Ukraine will not forgive them for a very long time.
    35
  303. In the spirit of this video for those in the know: SPESS MEHREENS!
    35
  304. They do use better weaponry than just lasguns. Plasma rifles can go through an astartes armor with ease. Just they have a tendency to overheat. You also have mounted heavy bolters, heavy stubbers, melta chargers, melta weaponry, flamers, etc etc. All guard weapons that are fielded. There might just be a reason this group don't have them. Undersupplied, rag tag quickly put together defense, idiot logistics or commander etc. Hard to say without more context. Also, as said already - Thunder Hammer OP af
    35
  305. "You have committed the ultimate heresy. Not only have you turned your back on the Emperor and stepped from his light, you have profaned his name and almost destroyed everything he has striven to build. You have perverted and twisted the path he has laid for mankind to tread. As your own decrees have stated, there can be no mercy for such a criminal. I renounce your lordship, you walk in the darkness and cannot be allowed to live. Your sentence has been long overdue and now it is time for you to die." Is canon. Sourced Codex Sisters of Battle 2nd Edition and Codex Witch Hunters 3rd Edition. "I don't have time to die... I'm too busy!" Is also, canonical. Codex Imperialis 2nd Edition. Whatever happened in Emperor's throne room with Alicia Dominica and the Custodian is canonically unknown however.
    35
  306. I would love to sit down and chat with you about this. The Krieg Are definitely one of my favorite “sub factions”.
    34
  307. Since no one else pointed it out, you should know that chaplains also tend to be primo asskickers in close combat. The angriest of marines.
    34
  308. Plastic DKOK minis on the horizon?! Dreams really do come true! Hope this leads to a model line.
    34
  309. Problem with Tyranids evolving to counter Imerium's tactics is that there's no Imperium's tactics. No two imperial armies look, thinks and fight the same as they're recruited from a million of woelds each with it's own culture and traditions.
    34
  310. you asked why the imperium didn't immediately soften Vraks up with chemical and biological weapons, the problem is all that does is force them to hunker down in their sealed bunkers and hive city, which once sealed hold up fairly well to basically anything that would not rapidly kill all life on the planet, at least for a while. They even had sealed passages between the bunkers, defense forts, armories, etc. And with the time it would take to get ships together, arm them, and use the NCB weapon that you choose they would have plenty of time to lay in all the supplies they would need to just hermetically seal the doors and just sit there for days/weeks/months or in extreme cases YEARS without having to go out into the affected areas and be exposed to them. Eventually the death korp does get fed up on Vraks and is given permission to use the life eater virus on some of the underground bunkers, and the process they go through to use it is find all the air vents, seal them with permacrete, weld the surface doors shut, then once you are sure everything is sealed drill a tiny hole in one of the permacrete plugs, pump the virus through there, reseal the hole, and then just wait while the virus eats its way through the scrubbers and kills everything inside. Then mark that bunker as 'DO NOT ENTER' and basically never open it again. I forgot to say the life eater virus is almost exterminatus grade weaponry and not used lightly. Also, the defenders of Vraks had a decent orbital defense system of laser batteries and void shields which would make any attempts to bombard the planet from orbit dicey at best.
    34
  311. The Grey Knights ARE a specific chapter; but much like the Deathwatch they are much more specialized of a chapter to where just as Bricky said, they are meant for hunting the absolute worst daemonic entities of the Warp. They were originally first put into development during the final days of the Horus Heresy by the Emperors most closest confidant Malcador the Sigilite who is also the one who began to form what would become what we know now as the Imperial Inquisition where before Horus entered the Sol System, Malcador used his psychic abilities to hide what would be the chapters homeworld of Titan (aka one of the moons in our solar system) in the Warp to give the chapter time to organize and train up its members and they first manifested shortly after the Heresy, meeting with the Inquisition or more specifically the Ordo Malleus becoming its militant arm. Now while the Grey Knights are their own independent autonomous unit they can be strong-armed into cooperating with the Inquisition into doing certain things; one of which was the First War for Armageddon where they were among the forces ordered to round up the surviving civilians and guardsmen to be purged or sterilized and thrown into labor camps. This led to the Months of Shame against the Space Wolves chapter which is considered one of the darkest and most humiliating periods of the Grey Knights history as they were being forced by a Lord Inquisitor to help bring the Space Wolves 'to heel', only for the Grey Knights to give up their secrecy to the Space Wolves as; yeah the chapter does have a BRUTAL scorched earth policy where they'll either target survivors who know of their existence or in some cases they will wipe the memories from the minds of anyone they fight alongside about what happened. The Deathwatch are the opposite where they take the specialists and veterans of all of the Space Marine chapters in the Imperium and have them work in combined squads carrying out special operations missions against various xenos races or against the major xenos factions in the galaxy. Now occasionally the Deathwatch will cross into encountering Chaos but normally the Deathwatch will carry out missions against the alien factions and in many cases; invent newer methods of combat against said factions such as developing a new ammunition against the Tyranids or taking samples of xenos technology and studying or even in some cases reverse engineering them for use within the Deathwatch.

  312. .... Please continue this I really want to see a military vet break down this siege. I know it is long, but knowing you and how analytical you are its will be so interesting to see it through your military experience!!!!
    34
  313. A lot of the crazy stuff the imperium does is essentially traditional. The imperium is so vast and old that it is very much like a giant grinding wheel. It has a ton of momentum and essentially the long distorted ripples of the events from ages ago still rule the lives of the people in 40k.
    34
  314. I have a family friend who raises and slaughters his own cows, and he sold us half a cow for 100 dollars. He can do this because he does the cattle ranching as a side job.
    33
  315. It’s actually interesting that you noted the imperial knight is not optimized for battle. That’s because the pattern of Walker is not originally designed for combat, but a heavy duty working robot during terraforming operations and whatever else it was needed for. At some point someone realized that the giant mech chainsaws could obliterate people as well as they can cut down trees.
    33
  316. "That wouldn't be ethical!" Oh, sweet summer child... The grim darkness of the far future doesn't do that.
    33
  317. The emperor hated aliens, but take into account that aliens in 40k are absolutely terrible and fucked up humanity for a long time.
    33
  318. Lol ikr, just the way they like it.
    32
  319.  @nawnomadnan9874  orkz are fungi but no I think they are the only creature that are flora
    32
  320. Pretty sure the DKK operate on a different definition of danger close, probably more like 50m.
    32
  321. If you are familiar with manga/anime or anything that originated form Japan you would be familiar with S-tier /class . It is considered to be much higher than A. Though this have influenced some other works that are not form Japan such as Korean manhwa (Solo Levelling eg) or in works like "Worm" (an English webnovel/webseries).
    32
  322.  @nawnomadnan9874  I suppose it depends on what you mean , there's some other kind of brain controlling fungus that's a minor threat and then there's a lot of stuff from catachen....
    31
  323. Unfortunately the whole "astronomican drew in the tyranids" theory doesn't hold much water (despite what the hugely inaccurate fandom.com wiki might say). The light of the astronomican is not bright enough to be seen very far beyond the galactic edge. The more likely source of the tyranid attraction was the destruction/overload of the Pharos beacon on Sotha, or (in some much older theories) the psychic scream of Slaanesh's birth.
    31
  324. That's one button too low
    31
  325.  @CombatVeteranReacts  Originally there were 20 Space Marine legions associated with a Primarch each. Two of those were struck from the records and are unknown (originally implemented to allow custom Space Marines). During the Horus Heresy 9 of those legions went over to chaos and the other 9 got restructured into chapters. After the Horus Heresy each legion had between 10,000 and 250,000 space marines and were split up into 1000 marines chapters and in the following 10,000 years at some points new chapters were formed from the existing ones. So each chapter can trace back its lineage to a Primarch, even if some chapters are very secretive about their origins. And some chapters like the space wolves and black templars play fast and loose with the 1000 man rule. This rule was implemented to safeguard against whole legions going over to chaos. Now if a chapter falls to corruption it's only a thousand space marines lost and much less of a threat to the imperium. That's also the same reason, why most Imperial Guard regiments don't incorporate combined arms. Only extremely loyal regiments, like Kriegers for example are allowed to combine infantry, tanks and artillery everyone else has to specialise and the guard as a whole is not allowed any space ships at all.
    31
  326. Just FYI, the guys that codified the canon lore of WH Fantasy and 40k were giant History nerds (I think more than one had been an actual historian). It’d be interesting to see breakdowns of the sources of ‘inspiration’ for other facets of the fluff, imo.
    31
  327. Alright Paul, I bought strike gum about a month ago, and I hadn't used it... until today. I had a job interview (I'm a software engineer), and I just needed a little extra zip and focus... so, I had a piece of strike gum, and ya know what? It freakin' worked! I was very focused, and ... made it to the next round of interviews. Great product! Keep up the great work on your channel!
    31
  328. As for the events surrounding the execution, The possessed man was wearing the robes of the inquisition. Which meant he was a member of either Ordo Maleus, which specializes in dealing with Daemons or Ordo Xenos specializing in fighting alien species. Considering he got possessed, and the presence of Grey Knights I am guessing the former. Both the Ordo Maleus and the Grey Knights treat Possession VERY seriously. As there is no telling if it's a minor and thus somewhat harmless Daemon that could just murder a few dozen people or a god damn Bloodthirster that could rip the entire sip apart with consummate ease, that just decided to make itself at home in the noggin of the inquisitorial agent. However since this is likely Ordo Maleus, it's likely that the agent has been trained to resist possession, meaning no minor Daemons would not stand a chance at getting to him or her unless the agent was absolutely exhausted. That leaves only some kind of Major Daemon, a threat that cannot be ignored EVER, and so the possessed agent was killed off before the Daemon could use the body to manifest itself. Also given the psionic color of the possessed individual, it's likely that he or she was possessed by a Daemon of Tzeench.
    30
  329. "Heresy is like a tree..."
    29
  330. I think you talked about the Potsdam Giants with the King collecting tall Man, for "combat purposes"
    29
  331. The "recruiting from gangs" is a pretty iffy part of the process. Sure, they are tough, and conditioning more or less makes their origin less of a factor... But that's also part of the reason why the Night Lords space marine legion turned from a normal legion into THE TERRORIST one.
    28
  332.  @nawnomadnan9874  pretty sure there are a few on Catachan if you look close enough
    28
  333. Hopefully this one doesn't get claimed. Awesome video as always man!
    28
  334. So, Grey Knights, I'm actually fairly familiar with them. They are their own secretive chapter, to the point that most people are totally unaware of their existence. They technically work for the inquisition. Wherever they go and whatever they do, generally speaking, the inquisition is involved in some way due to investigations of demons and heretics. Normally the inquisition is the one to deploy the grey knights directly.
    28
  335. What I absolutely love about your stuff is the fact that your reactions are two or three times as long as the original video with a lot of in-depth commentary. That's really-really enjoyable.
    28
  336. The answer to the question in a nutshell: [REDACTED BY ORDER OF HIS HOLY INQUISITION]. But also actually, definitively, 99.99 kills, all bacteria, indubitably, [REDACTED BY ORDER OF HIS HOLY INQUISITION].
    28
  337. Nature's definition of thrive is "you survived long enough to reproduce." That's literally it. If you only live a single day, but that's enough for you to have kids you're a winner as far as nature is concerned.
    28
  338. The other day was new, it was his fourth day at work. The driver is a war veteran he is 48 and has an experience.
    27
  339. I recommend two 40k books in which you can see the selection process and how it changes between chapters, one of the "Space Wolf omnibus" and the other is "Dante" both start with a clear description of how brutal/harsh the process is and difference for each selection.
    27
  340. As far as having regular humans with the chapters think back to the first episode of the Astartes series where the marines are walking through the ship along the halls you can see human staff going along their duties.
    27
  341. Recruitment and test methods vary widely from chapter to chapter. Some rely on exposure, some require you to challenge a space marine to a contest. You will obviously loose, but what is important is how much you lost by. The people who are put under these tests are often what we would consider barbarians. They come from primitive societies where daily survival is already hard, and getting stuck outside for a period of time is far more common. These trials are usually in line with the conditions and culture of the world they recruit from.
    27
  342. If you want a funny and actually happy moment in 40k, I suggest reacting to the Daemonculaba.
    27
  343. Seeing that you are doing 40K reaction videos, TTS has probably already come to your attention. Although I am not sure that this parody would fit with the themes on your channel, it explains almost everything there is to know about 40K in the most hilarious ways possible. So yeah, If you haven't already, check this out, for your own entertainment at least. I am pretty sure you will find that really funny. When you will be a bit more into it, you could make a reaction about two episodes in particular of the spin-off "If the emperor had a podcast" about the organisation and history of the White Scars and the Black Templars (my personnal favorite). Just be careful because the TTS-verse is now really vast and it will take time for you to see everything. The positive aspect would be that it would represent years of content for your channel if you decide to react on all this. ;)
    27
  344. 14:28 - notice that this is also the first time we see the Astartes employ full-auto against opponents. They set to full-auto, braced their guns to help with recoil, and pulled the trigger. And it wasn't enough
    27
  345. And, well, since the Emperor grow up in Anatolia, perhaps he is more close to the legendo of Gilgamesh.
    27
  346. Geneseeds are precious and fickle things. It’s like, a transplant organ, but one full of semi mystical hyper advanced space juice that no one but the emp himself really understands. You can’t really test for it, you just make sure the person is physically super tough and hope they can survive process so the geneseed isn’t wasted.
    27
  347. At the moment I am making a video with some colleagues about the orks, in which we mention their basic data, their strategies and other information about this faction. When we finish it we would like you to react to it
    26
  348. Also their type of “kids” are more like people in their 20’s or so instead of 4-10 like the jedi. Funny and creepy they said Anakin was too old and he was like 12
    26
  349. As for rippers evolving into larger things and making their own hive mind, it seems that all evolution of tyrannids only occurs at the directive of the hive mind. Isolated tyrannids revert to animalistic behavior and lose all semblance of intelligence and the capability to produce more complex life forms.
    26
  350. 6:22 well even rejuvenate treatments used by inquisitors and high ranking people and nobles can keep regular humans alive for hundreds of years. And they don't even use the warp doing that.
    26
  351. The key to winning against the Tyranids is to force to change their tactics and spread out their mutations as widely as possible. So you must have space marines, titans, imperial guard, and use every permutation of their weapons, and use them in ever changing ways in new locations so they can't just do one thing. In fact that is exactly how the Tau lost multiple battles, they just spammed missiles before they realized that the tyranids evolved larger armor and also just sent out swarms of small creatures to act as flack etc. So they created this revolving door method of fighting were they use mechanized stuff, then more infantry based then more artillery but never in the same order etc. No individual in the Tyranid hive fleet is a genius but together and using multiple of the smarter organisms they do make fluid tactical and strategical choices, they do mostly react instinctively based on stimuli though. So it depends on the size, biomass, diversity of thinking creatures (as most are basically dumb robots), and the age. I guess that in theory several hive fleets could decide to work together, which would be..... anoying.

  352. The geneseed is partially rewritting the dna of the host, that is why most marines start looking like their Primarch overtime. yes they can eat pretty much anything, but it still to have to contains something usable. and for the dna memory stuff... no one knows how it work...

  353. When the government of humanity before the empire fell, many planets became isolated and in caos. These knights and their houses became leaders of the planets and their regions in order to protect them from alien wildlife, alien empires and insurgencies. When the emperor arrived to those planets later in the great crusade, many imperial knights swore allegiance to the emperor to fight for him from eons to come.

  357. "sing a song and dance a little bit"... in the WH40K RPG Dark Heresy if you play as a tech-priest you get a skill called 'sacred knock' which is literally percussive maintenance - and that's a formal skill tech priests train in, how to hit things the right way to get them working again. Most Tech-Priest "rituals" are like that... the ritual of the sacred oil is literally changing the oil and lubing up the engines.

  358. Chaos is manifested and strengthened by the living and dead alike, thoughts, feelings, emotions, and souls.

  359. I'll answer a few of your questions here actually. So with the engagement at the ambush it could've possibly been that the Astartes saw the AT team and was confident enough to eliminate the target, where bringing attention to the AT team could've endangered the tank crew further. He took the shot cause he was confident enough that it was safer than alerting the tank crew. Another point could've been that as he eliminated the first target he would've talked to the crew through his helmet comms, which have been stated to be only heard by those who are on that frequency, which seems to be supported with how quickly the turret slew towards the correct bearing. On the topic of the Kriegsmen on the horses, people have said before that those horses are pretty much so genetically modified that the only thing about them that are horses is the name, bred to be hardy and exceedingly fast. It also fits into their German WW1 aesthetic and the way they fight. The spears have anti armour charges on them so they detonate after burying themselves into the target. Basically the two black marines were blown to hell with how often they got hit. Dropping artillery on their own infantry is pretty much the general behaviour of the Krieg. In regards to charging the red marine, they probably knew about the guy readying his grenades and where giving him time, or they just wanted to overwhelm and distract him from turning his attention back to the green marine. They do indeed have a lack regard for their own life but to them its for the objective and for victory. I hope these answered a few of your questions, and I'm enjoying the analysis of your videos. Glad that you're enjoying the 40kverse. PS: I'd love to see some of your vintage military gear, that sounds pretty awesome!

  362. I remembered something from one of my previous videos that i wanted to state concerning the Imperium's Tanks. Something that gives a very very good insight into the sort of sideways thinking that the Imperium runs off of. The Leman Russ Main Battle Tank is a absolute peice of trash tank compared to the M1-A1 Bain Battle Tank. However the Imperium despite having the tech to develop a much better tank more in line with the Abrams has a far superior tank for their needs in the wonderfully advanced Leman Russ. In terms of off road cruising Speed, Armor angle, crew survivability, main gun accuracy, the Leman Russ hilariously underpreforms compared the modern Abrams. However the Leman Russ was never designed for these details. The armor shape if the Leman Russ was meant for factory simplicity to save the work crews time, even children could be assigned to build this tank at a comparable rate to their adult counterparts. The Leman Russ' shape and simple designs also means it can be conveyed on trains, ships ect in such bulk where they would have a hilarious numeric advantage over the Abrams. The Tank is simple to train on, men from worlds that have never even seen a car can be trained in weeks to be suitablly proficient on this tank. And the Leman Russ' Engine is the true marvel of this vehicle as just under 50% of the Engine exists solely for alternative fuel sources, and the Tank can be made mobile on Coal, Wood, or with a little chemistry corpses. Even with deminished performance, that means this tank technically has near unlimited range and, ammo notwithstanding, could operate indefinitely without resupply. PS. As for Death Korp training and mentality yeah they are kind of shit, but a fan favorite. All your alternatives and complaints are actually embodied by the Vostroyan First-Born who i think would be your favorite.

  363. 22:13 Whats ironic about the Emperium's religion is that the Emporer never wanted to be worshipped as a god. In fact he made great efforts to completely erase religion from humanity when he was forming the Emperium to make a secular civilization.
    24
  364. The healing mechanics is like this on the tabletop: An apothecary attached to your squad gives them the feel no pain special rule where every wounded model gets an additional save roll to shrug off the wound. The drill is actually for drilling into the power armour to extract the gene seed of a fallen brother, which can be used for transplantation into an initiate later. The game has two healing methods: the kind of insta-heal on one person and a healing wave for a period of time, healing everyone in radius while the skill is active. In the lore these people more work like you expect from doctors. Actually the power armour is supposed to inject stimulants and the self-healing capabilities of the marines are pretty high. They cannot bleed out if an arm gets cut off or so.
    24
  365. For the "Why not just nuke from orbit?" question: Normally, the enemy also has ships in orbit, which may or may not lead to naval battles with these forces. There are several games about that, called Battlefleet Gothic :) Orbital bombardment can be very precise. For example in the War for Badab books, a space marine chapter was ordered to take a world with minimal damage to the main cities... so they did the "sensible" thing and leveled everything AROUND those cities by orbital barrages, landed there and built their camps there to lay siege to the cities. On the other hand... if you use the Navy for everything, where's the fun for the ground forces? ;) We're playing a tabletop game here, gotta get those minis on the table :D Edit: 16:35 That is how civil wars start and how Krieg went from a nearly paradise world to a death world :)

  368. I know this is probably not gonna get read, but as someone with a military background myself, I hugely enjoy and appreciate the level of insight you provide on the videos you "react" to. You do a whole lot to transform the work you are basing yourself upon - after watching you some time I just HAD to leave a comment (also for the algorithm haha) and finally subscribe to your awesome channel. Also - since you wanted to know more about the actual TACTICS and DOCTRINE as well as the ORGANISATION of the Space Marines, there is a great video out there by "Grimdark Narrator", titled: "Codex Astartes [...]" it's a multi part series that goes indepth about structure, doctrines, markings and heraldry. -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynLPSw4eFcM (Part 1) As a fellow (ex-) soldier I found those videos incredibly "entertaining". Would love to see your take on them for sure! Keep up the great work and warm greetings from Germany
    24
  369. Paul, I appreciate your videos! Your one take style of recording, including the frequent pauses and corrections shows that you generally choose your words carefully and are being genuine.

  371. They dont need authorisation for calling in an Exterminatus, but too many might land them in trouble with the lord of their Order
    23
  372. Funny parallel between the Templars and 40k: Horus always feared the moment humanity won the universe the space marines as a whole would be disbanded/removed in the same way the templars got jailed and disbanded. He never wanted his sons to live a "civilian" life but a path of eternal glory in conquest and battle. For this very reason Guilly put the rule of: "Space Marines cant get positions of power to rule over regular humans" in the codex, he feared humanity under Space Marine rule would self destruct soon or later after they defeated any enemy of mankind.
    23
  373. You can kinda understand the beginning of the sige of vraks, the imperium at first just thought that it be relatively easy to take it back considering that it was held by what amounted to a militia. But apparently, the cardinal and his staff were great military strategists and their forces were super well-motivated and quickly became a well-organized army. And to just exterminators it after was admitting that they were beten

    22
  378. This seems like a great topic to explore. There is a lot of content on a variety of topics you could talk about (especially in the later seasons). Really curious to know your opinion on the Military Police and the training and selection process for your unit (Garrison, Survey, Military police). Keep up the great work! I've found every video you make interesting in some way.
    22
  379. Deuterium was just meant to be a pseudo depleted uranaium only for deuterium to actually exist and for it to be a gas. It’s better to think of the core as depleted uranium.
    22
  380. lololol haven't laughed this hard in a while, great video. Edit: just requested participation in the Space Station 14 play test.
    22
  381. I should point out that the Emperor had...dealings with certain powers in order to create the Primarchs. So if there is something that's beyond fantastical, it's safe to assume that the Warp is at play. And is why certain Space Marine Chapters are screwed over more than most. Look to the 21st Founding and the Lamenters Chapter.
    22
  382. I think the reason Chaos didnt flood thru the eye of terror pre-heresy was that there was no singular leader to "unite" (in the biggest quotations i can find) the different forces. The Chaos gods especially are far more concerned with their Great Game to really give a damn. Most of the Black Crusades are led by Abbadon, or one of the Daemon Primarchs, someone powerful enough and with enough thought and ambition left to coordinate them.
    22
  383. On the subject of Knights, there are a lot of interesting conflicts with the Knight loyalties. Imperial Knights are divided into two factions, based on who they pledged loyalty to during the Horus Heresy. Some are loyal directly to the Emperor and His Imperial Household, but others are loyal to the Adeptus Mechanicus (or the Mechanicum of Mars, as they were known). This can result in them having very different priorities and remits of operation, as they would answer to different branches of the Imperial government - Mechanicus Knights are ultimately subservient to the Fabricator General of Mars, while it isn't clear who exactly commands the Imperial Knights, if anyone at all truly has the right to do so.
    22
  384. Split it up as much as you have to, should be fun!
    22
  385. On the website ThesouthAfrican it was said that the criminals were caught, they were on two stolen cars and with an AK-47
    21
  386. You're right that all of the chaos gods are fed by the Imperium as it is today. Probably Tzeentch the least out of all of them, since the Imperium is far more stagnant than it is dynamic, and isn't exactly full of hope.
    21
  387. Picking scum to turn into Astartes isn't such a bad idea considering the level of indoctrination and mental fortification an Astartes receives in training, there very being is re ordered towards loyalty and completion of tasks. And besides every chapter picks there neophytes individually each chapter seeks different characteristics in there neophytes and each chapters trials are different. Also using boys to create astartes has to do with the hormones and the change having to be induced during puberty
    21
  388. The "void" between galaxies is not quite empty. The nids could very well have some organism that can absorb the cosmic background radiation, cosmic rays or just intergalactic light like some form of cosmic plankton. It wont be much energy, but if everything else is frozen, and your velocity is set, you just need enough to keep a wakeup creature alive.
    21
  389. The Adeptus Astartes aren't genetically identical as it were, just edited to be similar. Familial connections inside a single chapter is very rare. Depending on Chapter they take boys and young men who usually have to pass some form of trial or gut check (some of which border on the absurd) of some kind, from most often, but not limited to Feral Worlds, Death Worlds, Feudal Worlds, and Hive Worlds. Generally it's meant to prove an extreme level of mental fortitude more then physical because the gene editing will sort that bit out and they have to not die on the table...which many do when their mind gives out. Now I'd say most, but I'm sure somebody knows better then me can correct this, Chapters have a homeworld, like the Ultramarines have Ultramar, Blood Angels have Baal, Space Wolves have Fenris for example, that they use as a base of recruits. A lot of those Chapters definitely have a more closed pool of genetic material as a base because they pull from the same people all the time but Ultramar is nearly as populous as Earth so you still have a massive pool of potential canidates to use as a base. Now out of those examples the Ultramarines have the most stable geneseed with pretty much no discernable defects, the other two have massive genetic flaws and strengths it must be said, turning them into effectively Vampires and Werewolves when things go sideways but that is generally tied far more to the flawed geneseed then the actual human they spliced it into. Whereas Crusading Chapter like the Black Templars pull recruits from wherever and whoever takes their fancy at any given time, they also use it to cheat their numbers but that's a different loophole. There have been mass casualty events for Chapters with genetic degradation i.e. the Raven Guard almost got wiped out when their Primarch tried to take a shortcut to boost their numbers, a similar thing happened to the Thousand Sons, and the Emperor's Children barely managed to come into existence in the first place, to be fair it would've been better if they didn't.
    21
  390. Well holy shit, didn't expect this. Awesome.
    21
  391. In regards to the topic of specialized military units, I feel that you might be interested in the Officio Assassinorum or "Assassin Temples." Each temple trains their assassins for fairly specific objectives. For example: the Vindicare assassins are specially trained to be the best sharpshooters in the Imperium, usually given orders that require masterful patience, stealth, and accuracy.

  392. single cell organisms can still get viruses.. hell some viruses can get viruses..the universe is indeed hostile

  393. You can see the difference in experience in their faces. Glasses fella is pulling faces ahead of the effort knowing, cap fella has no idea where to look for the first 2 minutes. Couldn't say whether the driver was intentionally hanging up the vehicle or not, but given the dismounts were as their name suggests: dismounted, and how fast old mate in glasses was blowing past traffic once headed in the right direction, I'd say he bought enough time and space to make good use of the acog. Probably knew the exact amount of time required for the QRF to show up, and set about it with what was on the table.
    20
  394. Every time you pause it to correct the videos you watch I always get all giddy like “HE’S GETTING IT! HE UNDERSTANDS!”... I am very happy lol
    20
  395. Space Marines would likely pick from places that makes sense for their specialties, and the qualities of their gene-seed. So it is unlikely that a chapter that uses a trial of tundra survival would be picking recruits from a desert planet.
    20
  396. 11:49 "You can't counter Infantry by being in a bunker" I mean, it DID work out pretty well for the Germans at Normandy. Those fortified MG-42s at the beaches countered the allied Infantry pretty effectively.
    20
  397. The black templars just use the codex as toilet paper
    20
  398. About the grey knights question, They are part of the inquisiition, the ordo malleus. They are kind of space marines, except instead of having there gene seed from a primarch there gene seed is from the emperor himself.
    20
  399. regarding the adeptus mechanicus (ad mech): they do have scientific method and explore the galaxy for ancient technology from the golden age, they are basically this renaissance group. The issue is regarding their dogma and political conflicts inside their church. They have dumb dogmas like "knowledge already exist", so they get more of their time searching for ancient technology than actually doing research (which they do). And regarding politics, they compite with each other and stagger the process of each other in their researchs, or they stagger their own research to fly low, specially because they are quick to hunt down whoever seems to be crossing to heretical territorie. But then again, just like with the imperial faith, there are radicals in their groups, an example is Cawl (mentioned in the video) who has made the most innovation and progress in the imperium but he is highly disliked by other members and he is only getting away with it because of his rank and having revived gurlyman. The politics of the imperium are weird and hard to exaplain, this is why people just resort to the short meme, because when you read the books you end up with more nuanse on how this actually work.

  402. Since they're using autoguns instead of lasers for the most part, these guys are probably PDF: it would be like a random National Guard garrison fighting a fully equipped special forces battalion/regiment. They just don't have the equipment or training to do anything except delay as long as they can while dying to the man, which is what they do, because sometimes they're just that hard. Generally, PDF wouldn't have to face worse than a raid led by a handful of Chaos Marines, which these guys could probably deal with alone; this being 40K though, sometimes you just get the worst hand.
    20
  403. Chaos and friendly fire? Oh, you mean “removing the competition”

  406. Arch is the only one I know who did a deep dive into the lore surrounding this animation.

  407. Psychology of Space Marines: you might at first think that space marines are just hand waved as being impervious to the horrors of war, but they are not. They are just extremely resistant to it. A good example is the Iron Warriors before the heresy. They were the best siege experts in the galaxy, so they were continuously used for that role. While other legions raced across the stars, conquering planets and getting all of the honors, the iron warriors stayed behind and ground stubborn planets to dust. The constant strain and high casualties of siege warfare made the Iron Warriors extremely dour and cold. It didn’t help that when they found their primarch, he pretty much told them that they weren’t good enough. Eventually, this broke the legion, and they fragmented into pieces, first turning on the emperor, and then each other.
    19
  408. That Story about that Ship with the AI that said that Chaos wins is actually missleading. The ship itself is corrupted by chaos and thus actively lies. The Chaos gods also aren't actually gods. I advise you to watch Dan Abnetts latest QnA for what they really are:) He is GW's top Writer ^^

  412. Thank you very much for your commentary. I have seen quite a lot, especially on 40k so I can say that yours really brings something more. It brings context, references and a professionnal and cultivated point of view on this universe (Also really liked your reaction on Space Marines creations). Hope your channel will grow !
    18
  413. Well when it comes to the Chaos Gods, that’s when you can start making pointless philosophical arguments over what a “god” really is. I mean they are just the psychic amalgamations of specific thoughts, feelings, and actions that grew over the course of thousands of years in another plane of existence. What’s probably most important is that they wanted to be worshipped like a god.
    18
  414. you pointed every single detail important of the video keep them coming. awesome analysis!

  416. Amazing man!!! The emperor protects! Also would be amazing if you did the Helsreach animation by Richard Boyland, its a 13 part series adaptation of a book (and audiobook) and is the project thst started the whole 40k animations back in the day. Also love the amount of info and interesting details that you say in each video, and gotta say welcome to the 40k family, may the Emperors light shines upon you

  417. 6:52 waiiiiiit since when did hive cities make custodian armor polish? That and other custodian stuff can only be found within the imperial palace and made by specialized and skilled artisans whos knowledge are a closely guarded secret. They are paid very handsomely, have exceptionally well living conditions , and are under the protection of the Custodes at all times. They are the only ones who can even make genuine Custodes stuff from auramite. Idk where a random hive city would get custodian armor polish unless it is some crappy bootleg stuff with only a name as its selling point.

  423. This is surprising. I've seen many AoT reactions here on YT, but not from an army veteran. As the military aspect is one of the strong points in this great show, I'm looking forward to your reaction videos of the rest of this series. Other people already mentioned this, but be careful of spoilers. This anime/manga is strongly driven by plot (and plot twist) that if you prematurely get to know them, your enjoyment might be (partially) spoiled. Your commentary on the efficiency on the Garrison and Survey Corps divisions was quite accurate. I'm looking forward to your insight as more information gets revealed. :)

  425. So Mikhail Kalashnikov originally developed his operating system for the AK as a sub-machine gun design in 7.62x25 tokarev. Of course this was changed into the ak-47 in 7.62x39 when the soviets wanted to create an assault rifle based on their new 7.62x39 m43 cartridge fielded initially by the sks in the last days of the siege of Berlin. Kalashnikov Concern's youtube channel actually has some cool videos showing some of the prototypes during the Avtomat trials. Now the Dragonov only bears a passing resemblance to the ak but it's operating mechanism is substantially different especially the short stroke gas system. The rpk is a magazine only fed automatic rifle based on the standard ak with a strengthened front trunion designed for more prolonged states of fully automatic firing vs the other riflemen using standard ak's. The rpk was put into service to replace the belt fed rpd due to the rpd's lesser reliability in the field lack of cross compatibility with the mags of the other riflemen in the squad. The adoption of the PK and later improved PKM was the final nail in the coffin for the rpd. Now the PK is really cool in that it takes the bolt carrier and and long stroke gas piston of the ak and flipped it upside down with some extra components to accommodate the belt feed system. Now there is Romanian and Yugoslavian variants of the ak in full powered rifle rounds like 8mm and 7.62x54r but they share no components with the dragonov.

  436. I would certainly liked to see more. this is one of my favorite series and I sure would like to know your takes on many events in this series. There is lots of things happening there in terms of tactics, society and politics and also with the normal people living in that world.
    16
  437. Sounds like a solid decision! Subscribed over there, too.
    16
  438. These videos are INTENSE. They do not skimp on the volume, harshness of sounds, and the speed at which things happen. And the only breathers are the flashback scenes, in this series I get why they are done as flashbacks just so you can let air in between fire fights.

  447. Arch was talking about Friedrich I. and the Altpreußisches Infanterieregiment No. 6 aka "Lange Kerls" - Friedich I. probably wasn't gay but his grandson, Friedrich II. aka "the Great" was. So yeah, he has his history a bit wrong there.
    15
  448. It's South Africa, it's basically like Mad Max, except more violent. Criminals there have access to actual assault rifles, sub-machine guns, and even machine guns. Due to neighboring nations not having much control over their own borders and a free flow of military weapons throughout the entirety of the continent. The two being named, Robbie and Josh, are most likely the other crew from a vehicle that wasn't too far behind this vehicle, which one person was killed from that vehicle.

  452. So an Astartes chapter usually has a homeworld or a set of planets that they recruit from. The trials are often done on these same planets, they are unlikely to take a feral jungle kid to an ice world to set the trial. Odds are the astartes have cordoned off a particularly hostile part of the world where the trial of survival will take place. So in essence it'll be exactly what he was dealing with before he got nabbed by the metal boys except he is now on the other side of the fence everyone he ever knew told him not to go near. Also, what happens when you die? Really Paul, in 40k? Rofl, nobody cares man, thats what happens. :D "Oh well, onto the next one."

  453. 8:16 Sounds like drunken tarkov videos would be some quality content haha
    15
  454. 40K is one of those things where when it come to any other sci-fi universe 40K is not one that you want to be in

  455. Slowly but surely we will get him to react to Helsreach

  456. The assassin's are all on a ship where from day one you are in training and who ever makes it to the temple is accepted. Because during travel you and everyone on that ship will die due to the harsh trading regime you are immidatly put under.

  457. As game workshop were a group of historical wargamers that a lot of there lore is borrowed from history. Good videos
    15
  458. One argument why knights would make sense: because of the human pilots. They merge mentally and use their vehicle as if it was their body.

  459. Gilgamesh in the legends was a giant of a man, perhaps it was the emperor in an other guise.

  460. 1:38 The "flashlight"-guys are the Astra Militarum, aka. Imperial Guard. In the game their Lasguns are so laughably weak that people refer to them as flashlights, because against most units they are just as effective. --- "The most uncomfortable episode yet." laughs in half-naked, oily Jojo-references
    15
  461. Lasgun, one-shot is actually the same as getting hit by a 0.50 caliber incendiary, it is less powerful than a bolter but still very strong. The Lasgun works on most of the enemies the guardsmen are facing. The closer the enemies are, the more powerful the impact. I think you asked why the standard weapon of the guardsman cannot defeat a space marine on another video. - It can actually... if they are close and enough guardsmen are firing their weapons. If space marines are fighting guardsmen, they know the effective range of any lasguns, so the priorities to them are those guardsmen with Plasma weaponry or heavy gunner team. Even a space marine will go under a cover if facing a wall of guardsmen in lasguns effective range. I think it is 50m if wanted to damage their armor with normal charges and a kill shot if hitting a weak spot with an overload lasgun within 50m. Yes, 50 meters is not much. That is why they are jokingly called flashlights :/. but on any other enemies, non-human, it is 100-300 meters. You can still kill an unarmored human from a longer range, like blow up their limps from more than 300m...

  465. Romans weren’t exactly using “shield wall”, their entire origin was to counter to faults of the Greek phalanx style of combat (Italian landscape is too uneven for phalanx) They were heavy infantry in looser formations. The larger shield meant they could appear far more dense than they were, but also bunch together if they needed. Look at the Gallic battle in the beginning of HBO’s Rome, it takes some liberties, but it’s an over the shoulder look at Roman republic combat.
    14
  466. The reason that they recruit young is that the infuence the growth hormones. Most of the time the process fails on adults
    14
  467. You should play the game "Space Marine" by Relic Entertainment. Its the best representation of a Space marine in any 40k game with a pretty decent story and amazing feeling gameplay.
    14
  468. Yup all chapters have non astartes personel working for them: chapter serfs (who in some chapters are aspirants who didn't pass selection process but made good enough impression to be allowed to serve chapter in that way) and servitors who are tasked with mundane duties. Also their fleet is crewed with regular imperial navy personel and officers who answer to chapter directly
    14
  469. Hey, our favorite space viking furries may have been designed by a 13 year old, but I still think they're cool :D They also are surprisingly effective, rational fighters if they have to be. That enemies (and allies) think of them as wild beasts is a strength as it misleads the others and they are able to surprise them with their actions more easily. Also, being feared really helps to get things done in the Warhammer 40k universe.^^ Surprisingly, they are still kind of close to the humans, or at least those they consider worthy (warriors and the like) and they try to remember who they were before they became space marines. On a side note, Space Marines rarely worship the Emperor as a god. I think it would feel weird for them to worship someone who is, genetically speaking, their grandfather (Big E -> Primarchs -> Space Marines). Just a 'nice to know' tidbit. :)
    14
  470. 14:35 ok funny you mentioned the energy shield specifically because this is exactly what goge vandier did with ‘the daughters of the emperor’ who would become his body guards and eventually became the sisters of battle he literally asked one of them to shoot at him and then his personal shield stopped it he played it off as “the emperor’s protection”

  472. My thoughts my emperor.
    14
  473. I appreciate what you put out. You are clear and honest about your biases while still trying to present a fair and balanced representation of whats going on every day. You haven't been afraid to say when ukraine makes a mistake or when russia does something right, unlike many, many other ukrainian supporting outlets. Since both side's supporters seem to just blindly support their chosen side, its refreshing to see someone acknowledge their bias and try to be objective. Don't let the shills make you think you aren't doing good work, keep it up
    14
  474. The ultimate tragedy of Guilliman's Codex was the fact that his own sons (The Ultramarines and various successor Chapters) thought so highly of it that they treated it as Religious Text rather than a source of tactical, strategic, moral, and ethical guidance it was meant to be. It would be as if people read every book in history detailing the Art of War and never questioned or challenged any of it because of the legendary status of the author. Because in the end, Guilliman himself stated that as good as the Codex is, it will NEVER be a replacement for a Space Marine's ability to think for themselves when faced with a challenge.
    14
  475. Now we just need a helsreach reaction because the same guy who made this did that as well and got hired on by gw to do the angels of death for them.
    14
  476. Something that may not have been noted was that, when the Kriegsmen were charging the Chaos Space Marine, they were going for his stomach where the armor is weaker and where power cables were located thus a vulnerable spot that a normal sized human might have a chance of damaging or getting through.
    14
  477. You also have to know that the vast majority of the Imperium has no idea Chaos exists. Slaanesh wouldn't just grant you a plentiful harvest. It will also drive you to eat it as fast as possible, until you have nothing left. Then you would steal fro others to eat more. Perhaps kill your neighbours to eat there food. Then when that ran out, you'd look at their bodies and think it'll be fine to eat them too, and so on and so on...
    13
  478. Always good vids ✌✌
    13
  479. Only place in WH40k where luck is something to keep in mind is when dealing with orks... or maybe with Ultramarines as there is a pretty fun theory that due to orks' belief that blue is luckiest colour, Ultramarines (who are blue) are influenced by this and thus able to do the crazy things that they do in the lore.
    13
  480. i recommend majorkill if you want a slightly more entertaining explanation,he cover pretty much every factions in wh40k including major space marine chapters and their primarchs,guardsman regiments,xenos factions and etc.
    13
  481. There was 20 space marine legions (2 are unknown/lost) After the Horus Heresy the remaining 9 Loyalist Legions were broke up in an event known as the Second Founding, resulting in numerous Chapters, there have been further Foundings in the thousands of years since, leading to the commonly stated 1000 Chapters.
    13
  482. If I remember right cegorach’s whole purpose in life now is just to fuck with slaanesh until they die out of spite Second note, orks are also kinda evil as they take a genuine sick pleasure in killing. Also tyranids vs Orks are a thing in lore but it’s a perpetually escalating conflict as they both adapt and get stronger
    13
  483. When someone says that there isn't enough bombardment in 40k, The Death Korps of Krieg: "...and I took that personally"
    13
  484. sad about the proportional response doctrine making it all a lot less effective while giving enemies the false confidence to make it necessary the most important part of war is still morale, and that doctrine completely counters the intimidation factor of all that military weight while handing the initiative to the enemy so that some injuries are close to inevitable
    13
  485. The basic street layout of DC including the roundabouts is far older than the War of 1812. There are pre 1812 drawings of the city plan that clearly show the roundabouts were already planned. Same for the street names. Pennsylvania Avenue was always going to be called Pennsylvania Avenue. The reason DC is a pain to drive it is because the designer wanted the city to be pretty when viewed from above or on paper. A aesthetically pleasing street plan is fine when the most common mode of transportation was the horse. But six way intersections are not conducive to vehicular traffic.

  486. Got here at zero view!! I'll comment later.

  487. "Radical change in the nations relationship with other powers" The Imperium of man wishes to cease all relationships with other powers... by elimintaing their existence
    13
  488. Hive cities ain't an imperial strategy but rather a thing that happened naturally within the human empire. If I remember correctly most hive cities were "build" over the ruins of old human cities of the golden age of man.
    13
  489. i think i know why the centurion armour is blessed by Dadornable, its probably his

  490. "Thankfully not a xeno-based experience" thats what he wants us to believe, trust not the false prophet he has seen much heresy.
    13
  491. I used to work for a company that manufactured and supplied the glass for trucks like these. Expensive stuff. Also it is a long process to make these, I remember always having to push production schedulers to kindly try making some windows because there was always more important stuff to make (main business was train & automotive windows)
    12
  492. Excellent insight! Thank you for doing this! I love your accurate commentary. There is no unified command only separate armies never coordinating with one another.
    12
  493. Roman throwing spears are Pilum, or plural pila, they are throwing spears designed to release the spike into the target, both to weigh down shields, but also deny the enemy the ability to throw them back. Plumbata are much later, they are lead darts, they look like lead arrows with a lead bulb in the shaft before the arrow head for a nice centre of gravity.
    12
  494. 14:20 The thing is that they don't force anyone to kill each other. It's far more common to test them in some other way. For example the Ultramarines dose their recruiting with 3 trials, If the candidate passes trough 2 out of the the 3 than they will have 1 final chalange which is against a fully built marine. They name what form of competition it will be. Of course they do not expect them to win but they evaluate the degree of the fliour and based on that they will picked up or not. If they didn't than they just go home and that's that.
    12
  495. The behaviour isn't an issue since because of the gene seed + the psycho conditioning those events won't effect them in the long term. But the reason why they are picking individuals that went trough a life like that is because that made them tough. And that's the key part here. Because the surgary that they have to go trough is very painfull and deadly. So you will need a body that can endure it.
    12
  496. Sisters of battle are just as insane as the astartes. The only difference is the sisters are unaugmented.
    12
  497. I'd recommend having a look into some Alpha Legion stuff. What little of it there is. They act very differently to the other legions. All about undercover operations, sabotage and intelligence gathering.
    12
  498. Death by shovel never gets old😎
    12
  499. I thought that the smoke grenade in the trench was to block line of sight out from the trench so that the rest of the Guardsmen could move across no-man's-land without being accurately engaged by forces in the trenches. Although, if that was the case, why not drop smoke rounds from mortars or artillery on them before the attack even starts?
    12
  500. The chaos 'gods' aren't really gods they're powerful to be sure but at the end of the day they need humanity to survive even they know this

  501. Hey Paul, Ssethzeentach got a better video that you can make great commentary on. Try out his star sector review, its got some pretty stuff like colonization and civilization politics in it.
    12
  502. Always choose an Imperial Fist Centurion. There’s a chance you’ll find Rogal inside. You may not be able to use It effectively without the black carapace, but a Magos might give you a planet for the suit of armor.
    12
  503. I hope someone does an Ork video because I really want to hear you react to their tactics of shout, charge and chop.
    11
  504. the grenade used to kill the chaos marine, did exist in that form, with the 7 charges at the top. its called "geballte Ladung" eng: concentrated Charge. its mostly a quick response of the germans to the first tanks encountered
    11
  505. Actually Napoleonic Prussia was on the decline, rife with old traditions and complacency. The Prussia you were thinking of was decades prior to Napoleon. But good job on actually knowing about this, since nearly all Americans (US) I've spoken to don't know what Prussia is, or who Frederick the Great was.
    11
  506. Thanks!
    11
  507. You've been reading. I'm impressed. Good job, keep it up
    11
  508. If you want to see Space Marine try to defend an objective, I recommend reaction to a SODAZ video "Siege"

  509. The marine selection process is very expensive on terms of people, but the resource of manpower is what the Imperium has in abundance.

  512. On your vid thumbnail: "what is ethical?" -every 40k fan, EVER
    11
  513. @Combat Veteran Reacts I'll try to answer some of your question although I would recommend 40k theories and tactica Imperialias for lore info in the future as they are much more detailed and well cited. So Harlequins are supplicant of the elder laughing one of the three remaining eldar gods after she who thirsts ate most of the eldar pantheon. They're drawn from both dark eldar and normal elder stock but tend to favor the craftworld eldar. Each is bound to the laughing god and on death has their souls taken by Cegorath rather than the dark prince, in turn they guard the black library which is vast repository of damn near all knowledge (human and xeno) in the galaxy hidden deep in the webway. When not on guard duty they travel between craftworlds, commorragh, exodite worlds along with some human ones preforming a dance that details eldar history up until the fall. The performance has such and effect on people that even dark elder have been know to weep in remorse for what they have lost and become. It should be noted that only one type of harlequin, the solitaire can take on the mantle of the lord of Ecstasy as everyone else would have their soul sucked on the spot. Occasionally, they may even join craftworld, corsairs, dark eldar at their god's/troop leaders behest. On to the nids, they have been evolving since meeting the imperium at the stat they were mostly melee focused but over time created ranged weapons and they have evolved adaptions to certain threats. I.E when fight the Tau who use plasma/ion rifles the nids evolved a potent resin that dissipated the heat. The Tau only beat them back by switching to black powder weapons, they liberated from their totally not slave soldiers the Kroot. What holds them back wider implantation of these genes is having to balance the of cost biomass, K/D ratios, and the reliability of genes used. In effect the hive mind tries to use the least amount of biomass with the simplest genetic make up to kill the most things. Yes it could make a super bug, but that nid could be very expensive, too independent, or too time consuming to make vs a billion ripper swarms that can be churned out in afternoon from one organism. Nid diplomacy: There was a brief time the nids sent a species called the Zoats to our galaxy to learn about us. The Zoats were a slave race though and dropped some hints about what was to come but were still thralls to the hive mind. Further, there was a species of what most guess were feral nids the imperium encountered that had gained independence from the hive mind after millennium of being cut off. They warned the imperium something was coming from beyond the light of holy terra as well as telling the empire to leave them alone because once the species started fighting it couldn't stop. Naturally the imperium said F this nonsense and purged the burg. that is Genestealers: these guys are one of a few scouts (the other being the Zoats and an unnamed civ on the edges of the galaxy) sent to the milky way and for the longest time were thought to be random space pest. Most are found on spacehulks which are the massive conglomerations of asteroids, Steller bodies, and spaceship that got smashed together in the warp. These things are both a great boon and danger as overtime hulks can create their own atmosphere and gravity allowing all sorts of nastiness to take root, but they are also stuffed full of lost/rare tech maybe even STCs. Naturally many imperial officials want to loot or blast them apart and that can take months or years. This in turn puts them in contact the Genestealers (GS) these tyranoforms can cuts through terminator armor, turn near invisible, and frighteningly infect trespassers with the GS virus. This retrovirus reprograms the host's mind and reproductive system to produce Gen 1 hybrids ASAP with any willing mate(s). Once the Gen 1 is born its exudes an aura that causes its infect sires to view it with near god like awe. The G1 will then try to mate with the local pops to make G2 -> G3 -> G4 which can pass for humans. Overtime the genestealers virus will be passed to more and people until it hits a point they try to overthrow the local government while sending a signal to the hive fleet to invade. If the cult wins before the hive arrives free planet for the nids. If they fail well the world is mostly like going to be savaged by infighting. Da Orks: By default naturally try to find out who is the biggest. They get bigger by fighting and winning the more stompy, killy, or shooty they are the bigger they seem to the other Boyz if enough Boyz believe this the an Ork can grow larger. This creates a cycle where large Orks in a area will seek out of large Orks all highlander style till the biggest Orks is found/made. After this you eventually get a WAAAAAGH!!! as the Orks strike out against everything looking for a good scrap till the Warboss dies or everything everywhere is dead. Krork becoming Orks, I have heard two reasons for this, one is that the old ones either cursed them for betraying them or put a time delayed sequence gemone into their species that would weaken overtime thus making them easier to manage once the necrons were taken care of. The other theory I've heard is the fighting in 40k is not intense as it was during the war in heaven, thus the stimulus needed for an Ork to become a Krork isn't present. I personally ascribe to this theory because if can't fight the become morbidly obese (regardless of exercise) and highly depress almost to the point of being suicidal. Lastly a little pet peeve, this guy just glosses over how bonkers Ork tech is combined with there gestalt psychic powers. And the only way I can think of expressing how nuts they are is with some old Codex stories. In one engagement with the Orks on some minor rock a group of guardsmen were pinned down at the base of small hill by a lone Ork with a heavy snazz gun. The gunner never seemed to run out of ammo and his slugs could punch through several feet of soil. Finally when their commander ordered them to take the hill at great cost, most of the squad were killed and the survivors wanted what the hell was shooting at them. So they wrenched the gun out of Orks hand and found it has no trigger, no magazine port, colling system, or even a rifled barrel in fact it was just a pipe with crude stock coated dung based paint. In another battle, a looted Leman Russ tank was thrown against the IG's trench lines every battle it was always blown up though, but somehow got dragged off the field afterwards. Then the next day the same tank would show up, fire a few shells then get fragged. This cycle repeated endlessly till the guard won and decided to take a look at what the Orks did to the Leman Russ that made it so easy to fix. What they found was that the engine/drive system were remove and piece of paper with a crude engine drawn on that had the words 'VROOM VROOM' written in red was put in its place. The last story I have is this, a Rok (a mined out asteroid the Orks use as cheap spaceships) was experiencing engine problems while in the warp so two Orks went out side to take a look. Not a minute later, a Mechboy cracks open to window to sticks his head out and yells "OI, you two forgot your helmets" at which point the two Orks outside head's exploded. Anyways sorry for the text wall love your shit and have a nice day.

  514. I love how you explain things so detailed. Can't wait for you to react to more Attack on Titan because their will be a few episodes that will explain their training and their enemy which are the Titans.
    11
  515. There used to be 18 Legions with tens of thousands of astartes each under 1 Primarch. But after the Horus Heresy 9 of them went Traitor and the other nine got split up into smaller chapters which tend to be no more than 1000 space marines (with some exceptions). One kept the name and heraldry while the others went and did their own thing.

  521. Bricky is just a wonderful guy and his Adeptus Ridiculous Podcast is one of the best sources for all 40K knowledge
    11
  522. And the guardsmen stand their ground until the last man, no matter the enemy. Love the shields of the Fists! Edit: on the topic of lascannons: against a space marine, they are effective, in numbers, just because the armor is so tough. And the hammer: rule of cool, simple as that. It's fun to imagine someone with a power hammer or normal hammer just clobbering the enemies. That's the thing with warhammer. Rule of cool trumps logic, we can make up why that works later :D
    11
  523. “Use there biggest boom to engage the enemy first.” Us: DO YOU NOT KNOW WHAT A BOLTER IS?! Also the kreigg (guys in gas masks) use a variety of the laz rifle that is semi automatic instead of automatic to gain more power in each shot.

  524. Bloody hell that's amazing! Thsi video was quite entertaining
    10
  525. Would love to see you stream it, but ideally alongside some mates brothers! As Badger mentions, the multiplayer is such a distinctly satisfying experience compared to the single-player that it's almost like two separate games.
    10
  526. Granted, the way Bricky describes the Imperial Guard is more generalized; as no two regiments are alike; though the human wave tactics you mentioned are actually most used by many units within Valhallan Ice Warriors regiments who are also known for mass volleys of artillery. The Death Korps of Krieg are specialists at siege warfare, the Steel Legion specialize in armored warfare, the Elysian Drop Troopers are exactly as they sound= paratroopers. The Cadians are more of a jack of all trades force, using child soldiers simply because their former homeworld of Cadia was known as a Fortress World, where the citizens there lived in incredibly fortified fortress cities and each one; man, woman and child, lived and breathed the military life because Cadia was a highly strategic location against Chaos forces pushing out from the Eye of Terror and for a long time was famed as one of the most heavily fortified worlds in all of the Imperium. The Cadians had such a huge reputation that much of the standard kit of gear that an Imperial Guard trooper in largely any other regiment could get was developed from Cadia or to the specifications of what would normally be expected of a Cadian Shock Trooper. Now that Cadia has since fallen though, many Cadian regiments that survived the 13th Black Crusade or regiments that were originally fighting against the Tau in the Damocles Gulf have been pushing even more zealously wanting payback against the Traitor Legions as; essentially almost from the cradle children of Cadia are taught and educated to have a MASSIVE hatred for Chaos, most notably most Cadians can be identified if they have purple/violet irises in their eyes as this is a small mutation caused by the proximity of their homeworld to the Eye of Terror.

  527. World at War is probably my favorite

  528. The funny thing is, the Emperor in this series is, despite his use of language, way way WAY less of an asshole than canon throne-Emperor. I really like the dig at the people defending the stupidity of the Imperium by saying "IT's WhAt ThEy HaVe To Do To SuRvIvE!", despite the fact that most things the Imperium does is against the Emperors vision and the Imperium being on a decline for 10.000 years. It's almost as if they don't want someone to undermine the power fantasy of a fascist regime being right. Like guys, just accept that the Imperium is the ultimate parody of "Space Nazis" (even more than the Empire in Star Wars) and have fun with this universe, instead of trying to pretend that anything in that universe is even remotely realistic unless it's copied from real life history. Or worse, pretend that the Imperium is a role model of a society. (which some people actually believe) 3:28 The thing about praising atheism, despite knowing that gods exist, is actually really interesting to me and not "just" ironic - Terry Pratchett also somewhat tried to explore this in his Discorld-novels. I think, it has two reasons why it somewhat makes sense: 1. Big E tried to starve out the Chaos-Gods by making the whole galaxy as dry on belief as as wafer and as tasteless as my jokes, so the gods - if they even survived this diet - had to survive on the scraps that are the base emotions of humans. (as the gods actually get more "sustenance" when prayers or actions are dedicated to them, rather than just passively absorbing emotions) By eliminating all other races the gods also couldn't feed on those and would be entirely reliant on humanity. Big E's plan wasn't bad, but it's universally agreed on that it had huge flaws. 2. The ideology of being an atheist in the face of real gods according to Terry Pratchett wasn't "I don't believe in gods despite knowing they exist" but more "these creatures are reliant on us to feed them with our belief, so they are nothing more than glorifed parasites and I don't see a reason why I shoul whorship them just because they exist."

  533. 14:14 funny you mention the FBI, they have their own anomalous investigation force, the Unusual Investigations Unit. I guess either they declined to assist in this instance or the Foundation declined their assistance since they’re bringing in what, six MTFs?
    10
  534. The first Legion the Dark Angels have a similar organization, after they found their dad in Caliban which was a feudal type planet.
    10
  535. Fantastic video. I am not sure I could have done this better. I'm curious about an examination of the government types of other factions in the universe. As you keep exploring the lore, I'm curious if you can imagine if a more Star Trek like federation could exist in the WH40k universe given the what the Warp is, and the relative power and aggression of the major remaining non human / chaos powers relative to Imperial man.

  537. When I first saw the video I thought he was caught in an L-shaped but I guess they were still trying to set up the full L-shaped when he just ran through them, props to him, he managed to not panic and actually push through that contact it’s easier said than done of course, but the amount of videos I’ve seen of guys stopping in near or even far ambushes and dismounting their Vics is Insane.

  539. Luck is definitely a real thing in 40K, Cain is a man who despite being a self professed coward who wants nothing more than a safe boring career near the rear lines of minor conflicts is constantly saving the day because he accidentally discovered the enemy plan and how to derail it while just trying to avoid the front lines. Now he's more heroic than he gives himself credit for but his sheer luck has saved many imperial planets and war efforts from horrible fates. Conversely the Lamenters are an entire chapter of space marines so hated by the universe that it's depressing, other chapters have completely abandoned battlefields they shared with the Lamenters because fighting alongside those poor cursed sods was too big of a risk to stomach. When the Lamenters finally find a fellow chapter that allies with and treats them with respect despite their origin and cursed luck that chapter ended up getting corrupted by chaos; the Lamenters were almost excommunicated and killed off for working with them, that they weren't might just be the work of the dark gods prolonging their suffering. Luck is a big factor in 40K, the Emperor does indeed protect and the chaos gods screw people over for laughs.

  542. Regarding your comment on the efficiency of massive bioforms, I bring up four "counter-arguments": 1.) Threat division: these things come with armies and are themselves an army. So that begs the question: what do you focus on? If you focus solely on the titan, the escort has outmaneuvered you. If you focus on the escort, then the titan is fully ready to deal with you If you divide your resources, you won't have enough to finish off both 2.) Resources: there's a common theme in facing these sorts of things and it goes along the lines of "We don't have enough _____ to deal with that thing". Think about it: unless it has a very specific/usually-plot-driven weakness then where exactly do you start shooting?. Besides, even if you did find it do you have enough resources to get there and alone exploit it? The costs start mounting up for any defense or retaliation and it's only a question of how well can you trade in calue which then relies on strategy. 3.) Redundancy: things grow and we build. The larger we get and build the more it's reinforced just to even stand let alone move. This means a redundant design which means it's tough which means not so easily crippled. Think about it: a carrier is carrying TONS of weight which means its structure HAS to be thick and reinforced to even carry it which coincidently leads it to be heavily armored and not so easily crippled which means more resources needed to take it down unless you have Point #2. Maintenance is a different issue since the Tyranids dissolve everything in the battle and resue them anyway 4.) Positioning: it effectively controls the position and the area of engagement it is at. That means less of the battlefield you have to work with just by its presence alone. You have to deal with it or GTFO because if it's not bombarding you it's bearing down on you. It may be in only one large place at a time but if it's where it needs to be or can get there then you've already lost. Concluscion: Who said the Nids can only bring one Biotitan per battle? After all, there's never ever just one 'Nid
    9
  543. Tyranid Bio-Titans are actually noted for being extremely fast and agile, and their preferred method of Titan killing is generally to just jump on the enemy Titan and either take it out immediately, or knock it to the ground where it will be more vulnerable to smaller Tyranids.

  545. PPSH shoots 7.62x25 tokarev. It's a relatively fast going round. Problem is not accuracy. Problem is an overpenetration of unarmored targets. PPSH was heavy, had a muzzle break, and also had some kind of rifling.

  546. I don't think the Chaos gods are actually gods, more like massive galaxy spanning parasites who feed on belief, wich is why the Emperor tried to destroy all form of religion and impose pure logic across the Imperium, to starve them into non-existence, or at least non-threatening level of annoyance. Sadly, human need for a greater power than themselve to explain tragedy and luck won in the end.
    9
  547. I’ve always found it ironic that the Imperial Truth was a deliberate lie. There are gods, there are deamons, faith and belief does have power. The Emperor used the lie of the Imperial Truth to try to cut the chaos gods off from the belief of mortals that helped fuel their power. Starving them out to weaken them, and eventual destroy them. It didn’t work.

  565. the plasma cannon (blue energy) did kill 1 marine at the beginning. The second shot stunned the dreadnaught. The hammer is a power weapon that enhances the Astartes already god like strength. The guard are more than capable of taking on traitor Astartes, but its entirely dependent on the campaign being fought. Most guard campaigns are against enemies the guard usually fight. It is IMPORTANT to note that the guard here were using mostly if not entirely all auto guns. You dont usually see auto guns in the hands of campaigning guardsmen so these guys are def planetary garrison. Its like marines attacking a police station occupied by armed civilians and a few SF guys.

  589. Just some info for the record, yes they actually do have tripod bolters for reg infantry like you mentioned. Sodaz just likely used the las-cannon for the visual. Secondly the las-cannon does work against the regular chaos marines but the dreadnaught is a while other level, same with bolters. Thirdly in 40k melee weapons have been improved to such a degree that they effectively can cut through most opponents on a battlefield. Best way to think about it is armor in 40k has advanced to a point where your gun either will or won’t kill it, while melee weapons will likely work against almost any opponent, but due to obvious reasons like the risk of closing the distance most soldiers including space marines prefer to use firearms. Irl a sword vs a gun would be one sided most times but when the one or both combatants have such good protection and speed their use isn’t entirely a bad thing anymore.

  594. The reason why the jamming was included in this game is because the board game it was based on had jamming as a balancing mechanism. In the lore, the equipment of the Space Marines are very well maintained and are treated as holy relics by the serfs that maintain them. Yes, most of them are very old, but the designs are made to last.

  600. Space marines rely quite heavily on upon, (in essence), a retinue of normal humans and tech experts for a lot of the work that space marines are just not going to do or simply can't do. It depends on the chapter what these roles are but one of the constants is the navigator of their vessels, since warp navigation requires a rare psyker/mutant strain of human. But they can range from quite important members of staff, or something like squires, or at the very worst end, little better than peasants. Whether or not these are trainees or not matters entirely on the chapter and the role. The most famous I can think of are space marine recon forces or "scouts" are trainees that have made it quite far into the process and are battle-brothers in all but the final implants and rituals. The problem with talking about space marines, in general, is that space marines do not even talk about themselves in general terms. it's always the chapter. Are space marines fair in their trials? they could be, it matters on the chapter. Do they care at all about the lives of these people they are bothering to train up? again, depends on the chapter. Sometimes a trainee is "accepted" for training there is only one trial, can you survive the implantation process and not ned up stark raving mad. Unfortunately, the best answer is just yes. I mentioned it before but GW really wants you to buy models and being able to say your chapter can be how you want it is a great draw. I know many players that can go into ridiculous detail about their chapters rituals and selection process, they imagined entire novels at times.

  601. The Adeptus mechanacus will deal with anything related to equipment such as maintenance and repairs as well as a bridge group of tech marines who are trained by the mechanacus to fix and repair their war gear and equipment and also fall inside of the one thousand capacity, as for pen pushing that’s done by a member of the Adeptus munitorum who deals with ammunition supplies and anything that requires pen and paper such as spare parts, ammo, ect the Adeptus administration deals with any administrative problems such as numbers of troops, units, supplies and their usage as well as consumption and will plan to extend those resources such as You have ten marines but only ten thousand rounds to share, each marine will be given the equal amount of ammunition and will be told to use as less of it as possible and fire on semi. You will also have astartes surfs or serve servants who deal with the more mundane tasks of cleaning the chapters ship, cleaning the astartes armor and s on and will do whatever is required Lastly servitors, augmented humans who have been partially mind wiped and is give a sole task in which they will do until they cease to function any further and the munitorum, administration, mechanacus and servitors all fall outside of the astartes, and are not contributing to the one thousand chapter limit.
    7
  602. Near the end, you reminded me of an old manga titled Azumi, where an old ninja is put in charge of gathering children orphaned by feudal wars to train them into the next generation of ninjas. Their last test is to see if they can follow any kind of order, so they are divided in pairs and ordered to kill the friend in front of them. In the end, the two best of the group are pitted against each other, resulting in the loss of one of them, and at the other end, the most useless and cowardly wins just because he backstabs his opponent, who was leagues above him, while she was protesting to their master because he knew he had no chance of winning in a face-to-face
    7
  603. Regarding the whole sole focus strategy, space marine chapters have a overarching theme. For example dark angels are swizz army knife, using speed of the ravenwing to harass the enemy while the "greenwing" decimate them from afar, and then the deathwing carries out surgical strikes at the enemy command structure, fully supported by the ravenwing.
    7
  604. I think the reason the Imperium hasn't fallen to the tyranids yet is because in the lore they have only been around for a couple of centuries
    7
  605. It should be remembered that the vast majority of bolt action rifles used in ww2 did not come with scopes, including the mosin, scoped rifles were exclisively given to the best marksmen and trained snipers,who were assigned on the battalion or regimental level, much like today, so in the call of duty 1 part, it makes sense that the player does not have a scoped rifle, since in reality and in game he is a conscript private with very little experience (and likely little training as well), and the part of Call of duty 1 depicted is basically a recreation of one of the starting scenes of enemy at the gates. Fun fact- the US Marine corps were using old spingfield bolt action rifles all the way to 1943, due to the fact that the army was prioritised for recieving m1 garands.
    7
  606. Love the video btw the reason why they did not do your plan in lore is as followed The orbital laser defenses would wreck any ship before a large number of drop pods would hit the surface as strike cruisers need to have there void sheilds turned off. Two you need to convince a chapter to commit a force to vraks which hard it's takes negotiations and a reward of some sort to get them to risk there lives. Unless ofc you can find the rare as balls lamenters or the self sacrificing salamanders or there successor chapters. They would say yes in exchange for hugs for the salamanders and maybe some head pats for the lamenters if any survive. Now for the none lore part It would not make for a good story if the battle was over that quickly.

  613. I am not sure the W40k Universe CAN end in a heatdeath. Seeing as the warp is seeping into the Materium all the time, that probabl completely prevents it. The warp is so unknowably old and probably doesn´t even have a principle of passing time that i don´t think it can ever run out of gas, so to say. Enthropy is higher the more energy is in a system, so seeing as the warp is incredibly active, AND unimaginably old there should have been a major decrease in activity at some point or even constantly, but that´s not the case, and that probably means that it can´t deteriorate. I´d even say that warpstorms and the like, are a symptom of the Warp overflowing with energy and feeding it back into the materium, making the materium neverending as well.

  622. I hope you enjoy flooding of WH40K fans on your chanel and, may Emperor bless us, that we do not screw things for you as we are very passionate about our most beloved setting. Memes may be a way to get all the WH40K lore faster and kinda get into it as they can point some "interersting" things out or illogical lore that is so vast it contradicts itself sometimes. Also, I would not be suprised to find out, that humanity does not drink milk in 40K, cuz all milk providing animals are long extinct or that milk is somehow made without the aid of said animals and we can have our khorneflakes the proper way. Keep going and sinking into the lore, since there is so much to be found in WH40K, of course only if you like it.

  623. The lascannon shot should punch right through a dreadnought. That is an oversight in this video. The thunder hammer is a power weapon that uses an extreme concussive force to deal with armoured targets. Like using maces against medieval knights because their armour is difficult to pierce.
    7
  624. They are outside of their synaptic range so they are running on their basic instincts. Dark Angels and their successors are the least caring of chapters depending on the situation. If their is any mention of The Fallen they are gonna be dipping out.
    7
  625. He’s a Dark Angel successor chapter, I bet they are there specifically to help the guardsman and fight the tyranids, there is absolutely no ulterior reason they are there that would have nothing to do with a random guy wearing black space marine armor with a red sword and wings logo and the armor looking really really old. None at all

  627. Ok, late to the comments, but, fun fact about the Imperial Guardsman in the Tank, near the beginning you can see that on his Helmet there are three white lines. Based upon his shoulder insignia he is a Cadian - Best Guardsman the Imperium has to offer - those three lines mark him as a White Stripe. White Stripes are Cadians who have finished their basic training and are on their first battlefield assignment. His behaviour during the battle is probably indicative of anyone's first battle, especially seeing both the Death Korps of Krieg and the Chaos Space Marines of the Black Legion first hand. After this battle and subsequent battles he will be assigned to a specific position, losing the mark of the White Stripe, and gaining a role within the Cadian lines, probably as part of another Leman Russ Tank crew. Of course all that is if he survives, the average survival time for a Guardsman is 15 Hours.

  629. The things about primarchs being warrior kings is that they were not simply worth a ten space marines they were as effective as bloody space marine company. So it was more along the lines of having a queen on the chessboard rather than a king. Bad thing to loose sure but it is your most powerfull piece in the arsenal. As for Titans rule of cool and in 40k universe rule of cool trumps logic, comon sense and any resemblence of taactics and strategy.

  633. The rifle choice is bad unless you decide to leave the vehicle. Some vehicles have weapon ports and the pistol would be better if those were the options. Its too cramped for a rifle without a folded stock. The robbers did do well to keep fucking with the driver side because it's near impossible to shoot and drive effectively. But in the end they lost the box in and block should have been first. Since that is the main defense for the vehicle. Shooting should be used to suppress the occupants while you try to breach it. But this driver was hard as balls.

  635. Let’s “create” (ala GW) an entire fictional universe that happens to be roughly analogous to a Galactic, Authoritarian/Anthropocentric Empire - led by a mysterious half-dead asshole god-king; fighting against the forces of… idk… the Forces of Entropy (?); and poised against an array of xenobiological entities ripped wholesale from Western Folklore. This is Da Wai. E: information/psychological warfare. Agreed and 100% on-board
    6
  636. Watching this, I feel like you've gone in thinking of the Chaos Gods as something that came into being through worship, rather than warp entities that manifested through the emotions that were present and now empower themselves through worship, although it's understandable given how Bricky covers it. The worship of the Chaos Gods is a religion, yes, but it isn't constructed in the same way that real world religions were. It should also be noted that the gods get a lot less from their foodsources when it's not dedicated to them, and have a habit of inserting themselves into preexisting religions to get that dedication, so the Emperor's strictly atheist crusades did a lot less for them than you'd expect. And that's not even mentioning that the speed of the Crusades was so that he could break up a massive Ork empire before it hit critical mass and became unstoppable.

  637. They are manifestation of how you perceive them, and these demons are also part of their patron powers and also are meant to represent that. I'm getting confused right now too many questions at once.

  639. The ironic part for all of these trials are based on the beliefs of the examiners of the Astartes and their apothecaries, and their beliefs are are not really based on scientific rationale but more what they believe will make you a better marine, a lot of things in 40k are definitely not based on scientific or rational methodology. Ten thousand years ago when some of the methods were put in place they were haphazardly scientific and only really the Mechanicus have any knowledge and even they are rife with superstitions and ideas that are more tradition than actual scientific process, after ten thousand years the amount of actual rational logic is not very common. So much in this world of 40k is based more on traditions and cultural ideas rather than rational or logically based beliefs, the pain glove for instance was the personal favourite of the Primarch Rogal Dorn for meditation, he literally thought that being put in agonising pain helped him concentrate? hence why he applied it to his recruits to weed out what he thought were weak aspirants, even chapters that appear to have a culture based on logic and reason can have trials of questionable logic. For example Perturabo Primarch of the iron warriors (a chapter that eventually turned to chaos) decided that instead of just running them through some tests decided after looking at his Legions records (which had been operating across the galaxy for some time before he was found and put in command) that they were weak and lacking so he ordered decimation of his entire legion 35 thousand marines were told to execute one in ten of their number at random as punishment for not meeting his standards? and this was in the relatively rational days when the emperor was alive, ten thousand years later when all the philosophies and logic have eroded or become traditions that no one remembers how there traditions came to be recruitment methodology is more or less universally compromised

  642. My pet theory for the nids once was that they were created by some surviving old ones that fled the galaxy to starve of the c'tan so they´d destroy themselfs. Doesn´t make that much sense nowadays with the reworked necron lore, although you could still make it work by saying the old ones that fled the galaxy weren´t aware that the necrons had remaining consciousness and would overthrow the c`tan.

  643. "StarCraft is ripped from 40k" is an old and surpsisingly relilient myth, considering how easily dispovable it is. If anything earlier versions of SC are more of Alien rip off. Also Tyranids radically changed heir looks in 3-d edition (which happened AFTER CS release), and din't look anything near Zergs before that.
    6
  644. I’d be very interested in seeing you react to Genestealer cults lore, tactical efficacy, and combat tactics, sparse as the information on them is, seeing as they are the 40K partisan/guerrilla faction with a heavy focus on asymmetrical warfare that would probably operate most similarly to the foes you would have seen combat against assuming you served in the Middle East or Vietnam, albeit with some suitably grimdark and ruthless caveats.

  645. The real irony is that the whole imperium now believes what Lorgar and the whole Word Bearers legion believed and got punished for by big E and the Ultramarines, which lead to the Horus Heresy. The Tau are covered in episode 15 or so. Not gonna spoil that.

  659. I really expected to be let down with this video, but I was actually impressed in the depth of research used in this, and I’m glad people are countering Arch’s Video on this subject.
    6
  660. Because the imperium is so broad and often times self conflicting between its own institutions, it certainly exhibits fascistic tendencies but I don’t think fascism encompasses every aspect of the imperium.
    6
  661. One of the features of the Imperium of Man is "Squats", which are Tolkien's Dwarves in the grim darkness of the far future. As many know, Dwarves are (by his own admission) based in large part on Jewish history and culture. The (remaining) Squats are well-liked within the Imperium, especially by the Mechanicus (for obvious reasons), so possibly it's a fascist regime but at least it isn't anti-Semitic.

  662. Dear Emperor I need longer videos from you, especially since you always add much interesting commentary and info. Also, whenever you are done with this: If The Emperor Had A Text-To-Speech-Device as next react(s).

  663. The Primarch's genetics is a tricky subject. What is known is the Primarch project started before the Emperor started the unification war. It involved the creation of the Pure Primarch Geneseeds. Several gene sequences were then deleted and new ones added, not all of them of human origin. The Emperor then entered a warp gate and bargained with entities unknown to learn the art of soulcrafting. He then engineered not just their genetics but their very souls. But the Gods of Chaos stole them and scattered them to human worlds across the galaxy. That said many bear a striking resemblance to great warriors of earth history. Conrad Curze Primach of the Night Lords bore no small resemblance to Vlad the Impaler, Jaghatai Khan to Genghis Khan, ect.

  664. There's a creator channel called oculus imperialis that talks about the different original 18legions and their tactics. I think it would be interesting to hear your opinions on them and connect them to certain parts of modern military.

  671. On the subject of Titans they are often sent to war in mobile titan bays, basically imagine landing a giant fortress designed specifically to servicing the Titans on the battlefield. Also in terms of Spare parts I'd imagine that Titans will be accompanied from by Mechanicus forge ships or even an Ark Mechanicus which are perfectly able to manufacture a lot of the necessary parts or simply have stupidly massive stores of materials.

  673. What happened your forehead? No offence man. If you had been deployed last week, I genuinely would have guessed that it was a graze (almost near miss) from a bullet. Instead, it could have been a minor head bleed I got probably two decades ago, when I ask someone to pass me a trowel (gardening tool) and they threw it from the other end of the garden, cutting the skin a bit on my scalp, and the resulting pain, that a blunt metal surfaces causes your head, from that still minor, impact...so with that minor childhood injury detailed, onto the Death Core of Kreig headbutting flying bullets. 😇💚👍

  679. 7:26 "Additional armor that you clamp on?" No. That's Centurion armor. Terminator armor is an extra-heavy suit of power armor. There are a number of patterns of slightly different weight classes, but they're all their own suits you have to assemble around the wearer. They were originally developed from reactor maintenance suits. As in you go into a fusion reactor. While it's online and running.

  681. So chapters with home worlds keep a more standard recruitment trial based on the recruits background. Fleet based chapters not so much. But the reasoning for such brutality is because there can only be 1000 space marines to a chapter. So you need to thin out the herd as much as possible for recruits who are the most mentally convicted and resourceful. Best fit doesn't always means the strongest or most likely.Chaptermaster Dante is your example of that.
    5
  682. Space Wolves do the whole elements one, the aspirants get some of the gene seed and then get taken far into the frozen wasteland and have to make it back across oceans with giant krakens and mountains of ice. Those that fail the test have the gene seed mutate their bodies and turn them into giant wolves cause as the saying goes “there are no wolves on Fenris” cause technically they are use to be humans.

  685. You in most cases won’t be able to prepare for a Space Marine chapters tactics anyway. Most people in the Imperium don’t EVER see a space marine in their entire lives. So them knowing anything about a chapters tactics are even less likely.

  687. I like this! And you are so on point on the military imo. I mean my interpretation is that no one really valued the soldiers, and only a few of the ruling class valued information/expansion at all. The Survey core was this hated side project and the Garrison was the only military viewed favorably until they did not perform so well. And in later episodes, we will see more of the pomp and circumstance you bring up now as well. Attack on Titan is this military horror/thriller show that sometimes gets about as intense in FUBAR as the Escape from Tarkov series. Everything is far from perfect and it's gruelling and full of religious propaganda, it's actually a it like Warhammer 40k

  692. Alright! So... The orbs are chaos relics from an extinct alien race that bound Chaos Demons to machinery. The gold statue MAY have been a vessel for the demon to inhabit. The Inquisitor was monitoring the orb on the ship, and had incense to help protect him from the chaos relic while he monitored it. He was likely a Psyker, with a connection to the Warp, and was possessed by the demon momentarily, causing him to become a conduit thingy. The guys then executed him, cuz crazed psykers are op asf. Btw, you'll notice the designs on those guy's faces match the gold statue & the orbs. This guy did a lot of research & shit, and put in a lot of work into that animation on every level.

  695. 28:45 Kinda. Imagine doing it with your GF or wife but when you suceceed it's like 10% done. So you have to do it several other times sucecesfully to get a baby. Eldars don't reproduce fast which is why replenishing their numbers is more difficult. Also they do have a soul because they have protection to an extent but when they die they just go to torture hell. As for Drukhary. There are the Trueborns and the regular guys. Regular guys are made in artificial woombs while trueblood ones reproduce normaly. The benefit? True blood Drukharies are just way more powerfull than artificial ones. Stronger, faster, tougher etc.

  699. Also, Khorne clearly desires the Blood Angels willingly embrace him , in his aspect of the honorable warrior. hence, Kabandas 'saving' of the Angels, as an essence of Khorne. Khorne has no lack of psyco murder marines (which pleases him), but to have the service of such honorable warriors, would please him even more.. The angels are constantly tested and pushed to their limits , and so far remain loyal..how long this can last is not known, but is the struggle every Son of Sangunius must endure

  703. This is great. Cant wait for your analysis of Vraks. On regulatory bodies you have two that I can think of, Astartes and Inqusition. In the imperium there is always a conterpart that is watching you and can not wait for you to screw up. And then run to "daddy"/"mommy" and tell.

  712. I enjoy your videos keep up the good work! No you are wrong about vraks dude did you not watch any of arch’s videos 1. It was stated that the weapons would supply an ENTIRE SUBSECTOR of troops they couldn’t just blow them all up 2. All their intel was out of date and they didn’t know what they were really going into 3. Starving the planet was not possible due to the algae farms and literal MOUNTAIN of mre’s. There were other factors at play as well but dude you got to go rewatch the siege of vraks you are missing a lot of stuff

    5
  717. Ok to make it a bit clear, the reason why the average guardsmen doesnt take a better weapon to fight a chaos space marine is that the instance is relatively rare. Most of the times regular IG fight against either cults or orks. Eldar, chaos, tyranids, tau are actually quite rare in comparison to how many guardsmen are enlisted and compared to how often fights with orks are. Also if chaos forces are involved, either the ig will know the attack, so they bring space marines and special equipment or they are just caught of guard. Csm generally do hit and run tactics and do a lot of carefull planning when attacking and always take advantage of orks already attacking the area. Not to mention that csm induce insanity and terror to people who arent prepared for them because of the warp, so the equipment wouldnt make a difference. ( The general public has no idea that chaos and demons exist. Some worlds are fully aware of chaos like cadia but these worlds are relatively few compared to the millions of worlds that the imperium has )
    5
  718. while you say they would engineer weapons to fight Chaos Space Marines, in the Imperium, hardly anyone knows that CSM (Chaos Space Marines) exist. If knowledge of them comes out, the Inquisition steps in and kills the surviving guardsmen. Additionally, Imperial regiments defect on a regular basis. Oou wouldnt want to have such an army to be able to kill Space Marines. One lesson of the Horus Heresy was to keep all imperial units relatively combat ineffective. That s why the Imperial Navy was separate from the Imperial Guard, that is why there are only 1000 SM per Chapter (~1 Million in total), why the Imperial Senate is in constant struggle to maintain its power etc.
    5
  719. It might be a Heavy Bolter (yes literally a bigger bolter say a 30mm mounted gun). Also because space marines are very effective against normal humans, then they might wanna capture the fortress (like in astartes they can clear a fortress if they are 100 or even 10 if they are good and their armor holds) also the guard have nice equipement just that as in modern military many dont get it cause its rare or too expensive to equip them some regiments drop from valkyries with anti grav backpacks (jetpacks) others have camo cloaks, some have specialized recon equipement and etc. Well the lasscannon there almost killed the dreadnought and at the beggining killed a space marine in 1 hit. And yes they have specialized weapons (you described a heavy bolter) and some volkite weapons that are almost guaranteed single shot kills versus marines, but they are very rare and were banned by the emperor because it meant the regular humans could destroy his legions of space marines (making it easier to rebel against the imperium) and in regards to power weapons the guard does have power swords (like light sabers) and the heavier hammers and stuff the marines have also work with the weight they have against humans or other marines but it also has some type of forcefield that can even destroy tanks and buildings. At the end the tech priest had the book (probably an STC) to a safe zone. STC is like your blueprints to make long lost technology, say how to make a Chimera or maybe some special weapon like a better version of an imperial knight etc

  720. Whaha "is it possible to work remotely" great remark lol

  721. The necrons wake up like some centuries after Cadia and went to their sleep like 60 milion years before. Also are they in a giant civil war because the dynasties don't like each other and they don't wake up all at once so some Pcerlords kill their family, friends or rivals to become more powerfull
    5
  722. To the question at the end about the radio and switching channels and why he didn't do that: To normal humans, Space Marines are like Angels. Literal, godly angels. The vast majority of people that even know about their existence have never seen one. We have no context for this guardsman, but the most likely answer is that he is internally in awe at the marine, and assuming everything is OK and taken care of since the marine saved him. The guardsman assumes he doesn't need to do anything else but carry out the Emperor's will with one of the Emperor's Angels.

  728. So there are actually multiple counter agreements your claims. The Death Korp, don't charge randomly. They do stay in there trenches against Tyrranids and Orkz. They only charge at human trenches do to the Kriegers are better at trench warfare then the enemy. It also helps that they don't fear death do to the believe that only in death they can be forgiven. You see they were in a 500 years trench civil war, this makes them far better at it then anyone. So they know they don't charge at the enemy random, that is a joke from the fandom that don't do the research. Space Marine bikes, are actually made for war unlike the bikes we have. They're heavy armoured, have tracks that can drive through rough terrain and are still fast and moblie. Titans, the raise for the Imperium using the Titans is because what it takes to kill one enemy titan it would take an entire regiment of guardsman, on this would be fine if it wasn't for the fact that Titans aren't deployed alone or for the fact that one titan is the smallest variants of Titans. Most Titan warfare is to have the titan fight along with either another titan or with another force. The Command Structure, is do to the Imperium is the largest empire in Human history, do you actually expect there to be a actual command structure that is universally agreed? "Heroic" Leadership, if your questioning this then you haven't been into the lore yet. The reason this happens is thanks to the warp, a realm of reality that can and will effect our reality. So if moral is boosted because a "hero" has shown up then the chances of survival has increase. Remember that this is a universe were Gods exists and so faith is one of the most import resources to have or you might face a fate worst then death.

  736. As for the Knights Armaments, from what I could see it had a shoulder mounted Heavy Stubber, an Auto-Cannon with another Heavy Stubber diagonally beneath it on the right arm and a giant Chainsword on it's left, Which might have had a Combi Heavy Flamer or Combi Melta Cannon on top of it. I couldn't see well enough to be sure.

  740. Hey, can you react to the "orks:war is life" by lutin? Their rather interesting, unless you have already did and I didn't see it then I apologize. But the orks are considered the "comic relief" of Warhammer since they are incredibly stupid but their fun.
    4
  741. Btw a space marine's gene-seed is actually an organic implant. It goes something like this if i'm not wrong: -Child gets accepted for training as a space marine -Child doesn't die during training -Child doesn't die during the final trial ( usually some kind of brutal challenge, depends on chapter ) -Child undergoes various surgeries ( one of which is gene-seed implentation ) -Child doesn't die due to gene-seed regection ( likelihood depends on chapter, but it's usually a big chance ) -Child mutates and becomes a new initiate ( usually employed as scouts for the chapter ) There are more things, like the black carapace, but thats the gist of it. Also only male children can undergo the procedure. Females always regect the gene-seed, and so do all adults.
    4
  742. 7:23 Terminator armor is a different suit of armor from standard space marine armor. It's bulkier and more protective, virtually impenetrable to anything but plasma, and even then is so strong it might resist plasma fire (In TT terms it gets an Invulnerability save native, whereas most people need energy shields to confer that). They're also rare, so being able to use such armor is considered a high honor and usually reserved for veterans of a chapter.
    4
  743. I see lots of people already explaining various parts of the selection process so I'll address something a bit more niche in all of this. You mentioned them dropping a trainee into a tyranid swarm. So, there's a reason they can't, and won't, do this. Regardless of the faction you try to pit them against, these kids they've selected can't be expected to survive. As many of them are deadly on scales that result in even space marine casualties. The tyranid specifically are one that they could never really hope to pit kids against. They're mindless and devour all life on planets in an incredibly short amount of time. As for other races, like say orks, who are strong enough to rip off a space marines arm, or any others, the space marines aren't even close to being on friendly enough terms with them to be able to set up a trial involving them without needing just, a bunch of space marines there to wage a war while the trial is going on. The closest they can manage, is combat against other people, hence things like duels, or combat against creatures, hence exposure training on planets with deadly wildlife. If we're looking at screening for combat potential that is. In fact, space marines have been known to fight against the kids they've selected in order to evaluate their skills. With the space marine being unarmored and unarmed due to their immense advantage. Like others have said, they're mostly looking for people who just, never give up. People who will keep fighting to their last breath. Regardless of how hopeless a situation may seem. It's why when you watch a lot of the warhammer videos, you'll see things like a space marine fighting, despite missing an arm. It's less about getting the best physically, though that is an important facet, and more about getting those who never give up, never back down, etc. Though some chapters do value physical prowess more than others, hence the emphasis on things like duels to the death. The whole loyalty thing really only applies to the chapters that recruit from volunteers and such as well. Some random gangster, or feral worlder who has no idea what a space marine is, wouldn't really be expected to have the blind loyalty that space marines have, that's something they would condition.teach later. Though on a side note, even on feral worlds, there's often stories about the space marines and they're typically revered as like, demi gods that come from the sky and such.

  744. It’s just that guys fault for dying, the universes enemies will not show sympathy, it’s training them also that in this universe it’s either you kill or they kill you, if your not strong enough you die.

  745. 6:29 That sad punch was the nail on Ben's coffin. As you said, its really fundamental. Sad punch, terrible footwork and the constant long guard was astonishing to see. pd: to add, you are fully right on the deliveration of the ref. His main job is to keep the fighters safe, if he see they can't keep going there is no arguing about it.
    4
  746. 32:10 Yes. Their growth rate and aggression are tied to their dopamine levels. They love to fight and when they win a fight they'll feel happy which greatly accelerates their growth and makes them more aggressive so they decide to challenge an even bigger ork. The cycle continues until they are the biggest and baddest ork around or they lose at which point their growth rate slows and they become calmer and fall into line under the boss ork until the next time they're in a fight and the cycle starts all over again.
    4
  747. Yes. If you want to see some live action of that, search Youtube for the old Czechoslovak movie "Tankova brigada" from 1955, taking place during WWII. A full version with English subtitles is available. They used actual soldiers and real WWII tanks, airplanes, weapons and all. There were plenty available by then. No Shermans or T-34's posing as German tanks. There are real German Panzer IV's in the movie. There is a fantastic scene with T-34 tanks carrying teams of Czechoslovak storm troopers armed with SMG's, dismounting just after crossing trenches full of their own troops during an all-out assault. This was a drill trained thoroughly in our army back then. You can also search for "Last days of war" by Mauzer. It is a compilation of some of the coolest moments from the movie, with some very cool music.

  748. Yes. In fact, that's one of the main reasons Britain pioneered the tanks. The Mark V and IV had that distinct design solely to overcome trenches and leading assaults on fortified position, hopefully ending the stalemate usually found in trench warfare.

  750. I'll try to cover some lore elements for you. The tabletop lore has gone through some changes, but both in the older and the current lore, the Emperor learned of the existence of the Chaos Gods. It didn't take him long to come to the conclusion that they were the ultimate enemies of humanity. When the Emperor set out to unite Terra under his rule, he intentionally spread an atheistic ideology, focusing on science, reason and logic, despite being fully aware of the existence of godlike beings. He hoped that eradication of religion would rob the Chaos Gods of their worship and by that extent, their power. This is the part where different versions of the lore and different headcanons come in. Some stories imply that lesser gods are merely different aspects of the Chaos Gods disguised as different deities. In which case Emperor's reasoning for eradicating religion was more or less justified. Other versions suggest that by eradicating religion on all the worlds he conquered, he eradicated a whole lot of other gods - who might actually have been in the way of the four Chaos Gods, meaning he actually aided humanity's worst enemies without realizing it himself. Whatever the lore we're going with, it's clear that his plan of eradicating the gods of Chaos didn't go off as planned. Like you yourself mentioned in your reaction video to Bricky's lore videos, he did quite a many things that actually aided the Ruinous Powers. Brutal conquest of the entire galaxy through war with massive numbers of casualties most certainly made Khorne stronger. Every violent kill, every battle, every life taken in anger - Khorne. The desire to bring the entire galaxy under human rule was a desire for one massive change and quite an ambitious one - both of whom are major domains of Tzeentch. All the people and the sentient species the big E's armies obliterated probably spent their last moments in absolute despair - their souls probably went to Nurgle. There certainly was an excess of conquest and possibly certain emotions - Slaanesh. All in all, the biggest mistake of the Emperor was to assume that the Chaos Gods feed on prayers. For although worship does indeed empower them, the Chaos Gods are actually literal personifications of certain emotions and concepts. However, I haven't managed to read any of the newer novels or get up to date with the latest lore, apparently things are really starting to change and heat up now, so I can't really say. Save for the fact that the big E might not be kicking, but he certainly isn't gone.

  755. The ONLY way to survive in 40k is to fight and win wars. It is not about politics and military coups but something much more. Survival. If a race does not fight like hell then they die and perish by the dark gods of chaos,Orks, imperium,Etc. You think of it as a government surviving on war due to power and intrigue and coups and all other stuff. In 40k you don’t fight you die, to outside forces, cut and dry no politics there.

  762. For Lore videos, Luetin09 does some very good in depth, if long videos on factions, technology, universe history and canon. And I would say they are pretty good points of entry too. The thing is, this galaxy has been built for over 30 years, there are so many stories, so many retcons and beta canon, it's frankly confusing at the best of times! There are also some great plots to follow that gives insight into the imperium, its politics, bureaucracy and how it fights its wars. It is very east to lose yourself down this rabbit hole! :-P On the subject of books though, I think you would enjoy the Gaunt's Ghosts series. The third book, Necropolis, is probably the best sci-fy fortress siege story I've ever read! There's also a couple of companion books that help show the magnitude of the campaign the Ghosts are fighting in, namely Titanicus, and Double Eagle. These books are written by Dan Abnett. I would probably say this is also one of the easier points of entry for the lore! ;-)

  768. To answer your thing in Angron, there’s a reason he’s considered one of the worst primarchs. Basically everything you said is why he’s really bad. He’s dangerous in CQC, but he’s terrible for all the reasons you said.

  769. The chaos gods gain power from worship. Corrupt a planet gain worshiper = more power, that's why the emperor was anti religion, it starved the chaos gods

  774. On the machine spirit point it’s incredible vague though best description I can think of is a cross between basic AIs, actual spiritual positions, and the mechanicus defaulting to their bibles in lieu (or in the face of) a better explanation
    4
  775. For your question on if "fake" or minor religions existing in 40k, they do. All emotion and thought is reflected in the Warp. If you think something works because the machine spirit makes it work, and enough people also think that then that's how it works in 40k.

  777. The back story to why the Imperium went backward so hard in technology, is during the fall of the first human Empire and coming of the Dark Age of Technology large amount of the technology and the knowledge to build them were lost and never to be relearned because alot the future tech were actually made by AI. So before the Fall Humanity has largely regulated the bulk of new innovations and creation to AI since AI has advance so far that they can think and do everything better, but with a Galaxy Wide AI rebellion and Humanity need to destroy every piece of AI, it cause a massive gap in their knowledge base of the tech. They still have all the equipment but most science that went into to make these components were derived from the AI they destroyed, essentially they have ships they can use and navigate but they don't understand the science behind it, and can only copy it, as the AI did most of the work beforehand. And What made it worse is that during this time Eldar birth the new chaos gods and the Warp storms destroyed the fragile remains of the Human empire, and large amount of the tech and little knowledge remained were burned a second time. Then the rise of the Imperium where the emperor managed to bring back a large bulk of the knowledge but then Horus rebelled and the knowledge they rediscovered was once again burnt to the ground for a third time. Which ultimately leads to the 40K era. After suffering through essentially 3 traumatic losses of technology galaxy wide, the Ad mech became super paranoid and instead of innovating, they prioritize preserving the tech they have left, because humanity has lost way too much of their knowledge and are aggressively protecting what little remains. That why technological advance has dropped to a snail pace, because the Mechanicus is too scared of taking any major risks unless absolutely necessary and risk losing what they have left. Of course in times of great crisis they will innovate their butt off to survive, i.e. the Ordinatus weapons etc.
    4
  778. 22:12 They are more like MObile Command post that can be dropped from low orbit. They do not like just drop a church and Hope it survives the fall. They are litteraly Dropships/Vessels capable of manoeuvring and landing, they will drop and then slow their speed by reverse thrusting and mag-lev. Dropping stuff from orbit is a very often used method for the Imperium, SM has Drop pods to yeet Marines squads and dreadnoughts on the battle field. IG's use Valkyrie Dropships, and WArbirds ships for the heavier tanks and equipement. the Adepus Titanicus, DROPS GIGANTIC Building Sized Drop Pods to deploy their Titans. Yeeting shit out of a ship onto a planet, is the Imperium's favorite way of doing it.
    4
  779. Actually, 11:45, I'm surprised the MultiLas shield stopped the Astarte bolter round. For some reason, I thought it would penetrate. It's still impressive that in the moment the guncrew started firing, the Astarte already made two shots, both to where they were standing. If not for that shield, they wouldn't have been able to fire their gun for a second straight.

  780. Ur case for bounding retreat is true, but it literally wouldnt even slow them down. The space marines would only be slowed by a few seconds
    4
  781. Also, to describe Custodes as "Space Marines" is extremely misleading. They are completely different. A Space Marine is a blunt object, a human crudely transformed via surgery into a brutal killing machine. A Custodes is genetically restructured from infancy into the pinnacle of the species. Custodes are peerless warriors, but they are not soldiers - they are bodyguards. They don't really fight as squads the way Guard or Space Marines do, but instead each of them are flawless singular warriors. Their "squads" are just collections of Custodes who have a similar fighting technique. They are also scholars and philosophers - Custodes were one of the few people who were able to debate and discuss matters with the Emperor Himself. On that note, the Custodes were the only forces the Emperor truly valued. Every other force - from the baseline human Guardsman to the Primarchs themselves - the Emperor saw as merely a tool to be used and discarded as needed. But never the Custodes. They were the only force who truly had the right to call themselves His "sons". They are also stupidly rare. At their peak, they were known as the Ten Thousand, because that's all there were. At the same time, the Imperium had millions of Space Marines.
    4
  782. 28:14 Well the 40k Church is not allowed to have men at arms. So they loopholed some women into wearing weapons. And Space Marines are just the Top-Elite of the Elite and anyone too weak doesn't survive the transformation and according to lore, it is only men that can physically survive this ordeal.

  785. Now i think the coin dropped for me. there i thought i was considering the topic from as far removed a point of view to see what's actually going on, but as i kept on thinking about it, i realized that i was not looking at it from quite far away enough. The Imperium in 40k represents all the worst things from history, as well as some extrapolations of the worst things we know of, that mankind my very well stive to under the pressure in incomprehensible outward threads, as well as internal corruption and incompetence. The imperium represents not just one of the bad things we know of our history and fiction, but in space. It represents all af the bad things we know of in history and fiction, but in space. the whole question of whether or not the imperium may be fascist or not can be savely equated - and disregarded - with the question of whether or not literally EVERYTHING bad human societies ever produced collectively can be equated with fascism

  795. Lascannons usually are very effective anti-armor weapons. You can actually see it taking out an Iron Warrior in one shot when they breach the gate. Dreadnoughts however, especially ancient ones and Chaos versions, are utter NIGHTMARES of unyielding destruction. They should take a single lascannon shot to the glacis no problem. Additionally, Iron Warriors really, REALLY like heavy armor and are not above using warp-sorcery and deamons to pack a battleship's main belt into a neat, mech-wearable package.
    4
  796. If I were to guess, the space marines are there to protect the relic only. This is the only reason why they are on the ship. The Guardsmen are defending the ship (and probably have other jobs). I don't know if they would trust the walls enough to move away from it... This is reaching a bit. But still...
    4
  797. The Imperial guard has a huge abundance of weapons capable to threatening an Astartes. Small arms are not going to work, they have to use crew served or heavy weapons and tank support. Keep in mind the prospect of IG actually fighting an Astartes or equivalent foe is very unlikely.

  802. Those gaunts he's facing are probably out of range of one of the leader species. When that happens, they go to basic instinct mode, either lurk or hunt. These seem to be on 'Lurk' mode. They were feeling that Guardsman out before they ate him. As far as the radio (or "vox" as it's called) freqs goes, many Guardsmen are not allowed that level of initiative. It may never have occurred to him to change it, or if it did, he may have been taught that doing so may be a punishable offense. Seems wrong-minded, but think about how many times in the real world military units suffered for not being allowed to stray from SOP.
    4
  803. With regards to changing radio frequencies, the Guard is often more concerned with hierarchy and chain of command than efficiency. It varies from regiment to regiment but the lawful-stupid rigid command chain where you can't ever dream of proactively talking to anyone beyond your immediate superior is more Grimdark so it tends to be the most common. As such the Guardsman's radio was likely either hardwired to the frequency assigned for his platoon, or encrypted in such a way that even if he switched frequencies he was unlikely to be able to understand anything being said on any other frequencies, plus his trainers and Commissars likely would have put the fear of the Emperor into him about listening in on radio chatter he wasn't authorized to listen to.

  805. Hi mate thank you for your service love from the UK and thank you for your video. I hope I do not sound rude the reason for the two regiments having different uniform and equipment is because they are from two different planets. The green regiment with tanks are cadians who come from Cadia which is a planet which acts as the imperium (warhammer 40k human empire) gate that stop chaos force from coming into real space. They can be easily identified by the purple violet eyes. The masked soldiers are regiment that come form the planet called Krieg. They are called the death Korp of Krieg. The reason for the mask was because their planet government turned their back on the imperium and declared independence. The loyal force was not getting any reinforcement from the imperium. So he commander of the loyalists force was told to never let the planet fall so he used secret dark age weapons that not even the planet government new about and caused a nuclear winter which changed the world forever. The civil war last 500 years loyalists won but they had a broken planet. Their mask are their second skin. The imperium has over a million worlds and unification of military equipment and doctrine and chain of command is impossible
    3
  806. Actually there is law of war atleast for the imperium. The imperium almost never uses nuclear arms because of how devastating they are, and only deploys rad(iation) weapons or chemical weapons at the behest of a primarch(demi god commander son of the God emperor) or really high up military officials. That being said they do make prolific use of flame throwers, heat ray and plasma weapons. Essentially the imperiums rule of war is more governed by preserving the conquered areas exploitable resources after the battle then any care for the enemy.

  826. The problem with selecting from military worlds is that they have not seen chaos demons and xenos or something similar. They may be aware of their existence but they have no experience in hunting or fighting them. Most guardsman will break down mentally upon seeing demons and certain xenos due to it being their first time dealing with such horrors. The creatures of feral worlds may on occasion be demons, orcs or beings mutated by chaos. That being said the some astartes do seek short term rewards more often than not. The Horus heresy is a perfect example of this. And more examples are available in the 41st millenium. Some chapters do mind wipe their recruits and in that regard only their physical value is considered and the mentality is built up later on. In conclusion the imperium is insane and act more like a gargantuan tribe in its own right when recruiting for their greatest warriors and then use flex tape to fix the issues that comes with their sloppy methods XD

  830. To clarify some points on Space Marine Apothecaries. In lore they are as much experienced doctors and surgeons and space marine biologists as much as combat medics. The drill on their wrist is apart of a piece of equipment called a narthecium which is roughly a medical multi-tool that holds medicine, surgical implements, and anything a Apothecary would normally need to care for a space marine. The drill is there to be able to cut away pieces of armor and bone (Space marines ribs are fused together to form more like a carapace plate) so they can treat wounds and administer other aid. Space Marines do also have a stimulate that speeds up their natural healing so a Apothecary could decide to just give a dose of stimulate to a lightly-moderately wounded Space Marine in combat to get them through the fight and focus instead on killing heretics or more severely injured Marines. You typically see Apothecaries attached to a command squad but in situations like this they also roll on the front lines.
    3
  831. Chapter serfs are treated quite differently from chapter to chapter. Some are straight-up slaves and some are treated well. I can't speak for other chapters, but the Space Wolves have a pretty healthy relationship with their support staff. They're generally treated as contributing members of the organization. I'm sure their cultural homogeneity factors in( the 'Wolves only recruit from their home planet as their geneseed doesn't take well in anybody from offworld) , but the Space Wolves are meritocratic( is that a word?) in their bones.
    3
  832. Chapters will usually keep their trials passable and not throw say a ganger in the middle of a catachan jungle. If its one of the exposure trials it will usually be done on the world the recruit is from. The space wolves trial for instance is just getting to the monestary from the recruits home village.... crossing what is essentially jotunheim with giant wolves, krakens and the like. Chapters who take from multiple different worlds like the ultramarines won’t start harsh, harsh environmental training until the recruit is someone trained and is starting to get used to their new bodies. Instead they get the fun of trying to wrestle a space marine... granted the space marine gets only a loin cloth and the other guy gets whatever he can get his hands on but well like he said its a test of survival and not really “winning”
    3
  833. your issues with tournament combat exhausting/injuring who might have been the top contenders and obfuscating the appropriate placement is unfounded in this context. Space Marine Apothecaries regularly bring space marines suffering from multiple bolter wounds back from the dead, onto their feet and right back to shooting in the middle of live firefights. Assume that in a controlled environment, with all their equipment, that Apothecaries could perform what in modern medical eye could only exist in the form of a true miracle.
    3
  834. Yes each chapter MUST MUST house up to a thousand active marines A chapter is broken down into Initiates Recruits/ scouts whose numbers are used to supplement any loses or go on recon Battle brothers who number into one thousand marines and are broken further into separate companies, units and squads such as a vehicle squad, areal squad/ pilots, devastator squads each squad will be combined into separate companies consisting of about a hindered or so marines and each chapter will have ten companies and a first company which will solely consist of veterans and terminators. As for the number of recruits since they can only have so many marines they unlike the US army or guard have the luxury of mass recruitment and will have to chose the best or strongest of the recruits where out of a hundred recruits only ten survive and only those who can endure the brutal training can succeed as in war failure simply means death even if it isn’t your fault, failure to arrive on time, failure to maintain your weapon, failure to keep your eyes open before walking into a mine field and so on and when war is constant, being able to endure the constant horrors of war is a must when facing against the foes of humanity

Warhammer takes a TOOOOON from Dune. The Imperium? Dark Age of Technology? The Warp? All Dune lore @11:00 Yes most chapters will pick from worlds that fit there flavor. Space wolves recruit from Fenris, Ultramarines recruit from McCragge But as a lore guy I love this! I love your take on the far flung from dark.

  838. The proving of commitment come after years of conditioning and indoctrination
    3
  839. Space marines get effectively mentally conditioned and brainwashed until they don’t remember their former life or just snippets of it. All they know is their Brotherhood. That’s why they want to prove their loyalty to that. Also, yes, they have So called Chapter serfs and Tech Priests who take care of their equipment, food and ammunition as well as tech and their Fleet.

  845. 19:32 that moment he turned left to find an entire stairway to a basement made me realize he easily could've died the moment he entered the room. or had to have immense amount of trust in his team to cover the angles he couldn't see. or its a video game and some aspects are just not that easy to code into the game. either way, it was a horrifying realization. i've personally never served any military service but that scene alone gave me a whole lot more respect for those who did including police officers and other similar occupation who had to risk their lives like this. PS: i did played a game called "Door Kickers 2". its a game about room clearing played from a top down view allowing you to plan out the movements of your team and sometimes rescuing hostages. so i sorta understood the concept but not really until i saw it sorta in first person from the trailer. never knew the lack of information on your surroundings could be THAT scary. PPS: btw, i don't think you've covered "Door Kickers 2" on your channel before (unless i missed it). would be interesting to see your thoughts and/or breakdown on the game and its various aspects. PPPS: actually only recently subbed. i came at first for the warhammer 40k stuff but i really appreciate the breaking down of details and tactics etc. i find them really interesting and actually learned quite abit from your channel. thank you for the great content. big respects. now, back to lurking probably

Bricky kinda covered the First Founding chapters since those make up the majority of Space Marine armies on TT. Also, when Bricky refers to Salamander's physical appearance, that is isn't because their world, Nocturne, is dark but rather because of the unique radiation that causes the melanin to go all the way to 20/10. In fact, their world is extremely volcanically active. In contrast, there is the homeworld of the Raven Guard, Deliverance, which is in a perpetual darkness. The Raven Guard Chapter is made up of Space Marines that do have very pale skin. Anyway, Salamander armor is actually primarily green in coloration with accents of black, gold, orange, and red.

  847. They split the legions into chapters and the imperium has lost track of how many chapters there are

  848. you make a good point with someone living for so long that they get disconnected i believe thats why the emperor foolishly believed he could just stop humans believing in god or some shit , even tho he himself is a towering giant covered in gold armor
    3
  849. The Salamander (black Space Marine guys) like on a planet CALLED Nocturne. Or a moon actually. It's a super volcanic world orbiting a radiation intense star that gives them their mutation.

  850. On a quick note on lasguns: They also are a logistician wetdream: They use powerpacks that can be recharged from just about any power supply the Imperium might deploy. Or by leaving them in them sun for a day or so. Or, in cases of emergencies, by throwing said powerpack on a campfire for some half hour, although that one causes pretty large wear and tear and permanently reduces the storage capability of that power cell by something like 50%. Said powerpacks can also be made to overload and used as a makeshift grenade when shit completely hits the fan. Nearly all patterns of lasgun use the stanrdarized powerpack that if not exactly the same tend to be at least compatible with the other lasgun patterns. There are other weapons in the Imperium that are far more powerful. Some of them are even not massively more expensive. But any of those that could theoretically be put in the hands of most of the untold billions of guardsmen would massively complicate the supply chain. The lasgun might not be the most effective shooting weapon, but it ensures they all can shoot in the first place.

  851. On the Nids. It's both. The overarching hivemind is instinctual at best for us since we are so much beneath It's notice. But in its smaller segments or when it puts part of its focus on something they can be very logical. As for the Genecults, they send a single Genestealer, and it does the thing ryming with Grape via tung to the neck. And it corrupts your reproductive process, so you birth hybrids of the nids and they slowly expand from there.

  852. When it comes from Krorks to Orks, I prescribe to Luetin’s explanation. They were created by the Old Ones to fight the Necrons and the Ctan in what was known as The War in Heaven, that we know for sure. This war was so insanely violent that Orks were able to grow much bigger and faster because of the sheer size and ferocity of this war. However, when the Necrons retreated back to their tomb worlds, there was no longer this constant large scale enemy to fight so they could no longer get so big so fast, and the Old One’s and Eldar at this point had enough of a technological edge to keep the Orks at bay.
    3
  853. Orks are close to impossible to capture mostly alive or intact however despite their brutish nature they can be reasoned with to some degree and if you can say how week and pathetic you are and that there’s bigger and nastier enemies that would make for excellent trophies then by all means, an inquisitor actually managed to capture a genestealer alive and simply threw it at an Ork empire
    3
  854. The only problem is that one grows on biomass such as dead Orks Whilst the other is a psychopathic fungus that grows from combat

  860. WW2. John Churchill, also known as “mad Jack” or “fighting Jack”. Why he was often called Jack, I don’t know. But I do know enough to know that he would probably fit in with the Krieg. For example, when hearing about Japan’s surrender he said “If it wasn’t for those damn Yanks, we could have kept the war going another 10 years!”

  863. i know u look at this through the lens of modern warfare and logical or tactically sound thinking but this is krieg to krieg sacrificng an entire regiment to get a short 10m strip of land is considered succes, from the look of the terain this might be Vranks in which case 10m gains would count as being generous and optimistic. also krieg regiments are not relieved of duty just replaced when their numbers fall below what is deemed practical. There is no reason for krieg guardsmen to check upon wounded/dead/unknown guardsmen, they have quartermasters for that, in most regiments quartermaster does what u would assume from the title in krieg their job is to go from corpse to corpse( any kriegsman lying on the gorund from wounds is considered a corpse until quartermaster decided otherwise) and see if there is anything salvageable there that might be reused by the regiment, wounded guardsmen are also considered to be part of that anyhting if they are too wounded for it to be considered practical to heal they are counted as dead and if need be given emperors peace by said quartermaster.

  868. Calling back to your previous video and how difficult it is to defeat chaos, it seems to me that the Emprah's work to prevent worship of gods is a key part of defeating them. Humans, with their psychic potential, directing their worship, strengthens them. "It is not a god, it's a mere monster. A monster which will die like the rest."

  870. I'm pretty sure the custodies, as well as a number of space marine chapters still hold to the imperial truth. They also don't really kill entire planets if they don't need to. That is just a meme. They do take the better safe then sorry approach, at least with purging populaces, but that is fairly reasonable based on how dangerous it is. The imperium in 40k is really different from the one in 30k. And even then, the Emperor and Malcador were sort of the linchpins of that hope. If the entire imperium knew that dark gods were real, with demons who could rip super heavy tanks apart, how would you expect them to hold against those things. Especially when they realize their souls are shoved into the warp when they die: the realm of these gods. Not, if you then told them that the Emperor was a god, who would protect the souls of the faithful, and lends his power to counter the power of the enemies... that is odds the average person might take, ass opposed to being told to charge Zeus with a stick. The whole fall of Cadia thing hasn't happened yet in Text To Speech Device, and them having a relationship is a meme. Big E probably just doesn't see them as gods any more than he is. They are not all powerful, immortal, or creators of the universe. They are just powerful, parasitic entities. Also again, the whole "Go on and fight the gods thing, don't join them. Trust me, it will go fine" thing.
    3
  871. There's a point to be made that the Emperor doesn't actually consider the Chaos Gods to be gods in the proper sense of the term despite their incredible power, because he knows they're just psychic manifestations in the Warp. This is actually something him and Lorgar had in common for a while, as Lorgar just used the term 'god' to describe the Emperor because no other term could adequately describe him. And a point to be made is that the Emperor's decrees targeted large-scale organized religions, i.e. cults. The Emperor was fully aware that he couldn't stop people from having superstitious beliefs overnight, so he had to tolerate people worshipping in their own homes as long as they kept to themselves and weren't fostering cults to the Ruinous Powers among their families and neighbors, believing that the secular Imperium would marginalize and ultimately eliminate these elements through social pressures.

Do not include uninterrupted music (music with dialogue and sound effects is okay). This is the general rules when reacting to TV shows. Also, is this your first anime? If so, what you have done is jumped off a twenty-foot high rocky cliff into what could be five feet of water. God bless you.

  874. I would imagine Princeps not to be hardline Mechanicus like tech-priests are. They have a specific upbringing once their compatibility is determined, but they'd likely spend their time learning about battle tactics and leadership rather than being heavily indoctrinated into the Cult Mechanicus.

  875. "I thought each chapter was under each primarch, but is that not true?" Each Primarch had a legion that they commanded, but after the Horus Heresy Roboute Guilliman (Primarch of the Ultramarines) made what's called the Codex Astartes (the basic rules for space marines armies). One of the things he put in them was that each legion would be split up into chapters of no more than 1000 space marines. You said it well: "This is how autocratic governments stay in power, they ensure there are many many factors, power is dispersed and broken apart." He saw the way a few Primarch falling and taking others with them could almost overtake the empire, and so he wanted to split them up so it would be harder for corruption to spread without it being found out. The same happened with the army, previously the transport ships and warships would be under the command of the imperial army. Now they were split into their own thing so the army would have no way to mobilize off-world by themselves. Add in the fact that you need the navigators who is their own guild with their own allegiance to even fly the ships, that's another faction you would need to convince. And of course you need the Mechanicus to maintain and repair your ships. Not sure what you want to know about the Primarchs? General things like how were they made, or videos going in on them individually?

  877. The Ciaphas Cain books by Sandy Mitchell were a great introduction to the universe for me. Cain is a Commissar who reluctantly becomes a heroic figure in the imperium. From his own perspective he's just a coward trying to survive and in spite his best efforts to avoid conflict finds himself in one hellish situation after another. Probably about as light hearted and comical as it comes in the grimdark 40k universe.

  879. In terms of actual battle tactics. "Hit and run" is a real understatement to their attacks. You see, those boney boys have teleportation abilities on each single warrior. That means when a squad of necrons encounters heavy fire or even the slightest risk of losing a single unit, they can individually teleport back to be patched up by the cryptek nanobots-scarabs. If I recall correctly, in the Dead Men Walking book about the Krieg they encounter a tomb world and had to throw firing lines of 100 and more guardsmen in actual rows to buy several hours. And when a necron warrior felt a tingling heat of lasgans or, god forbid, had a necrodermis wound/puncture, those warriors would be teleported back to salvage the materials or healed back up in a matter of hours to fight again. The amount of losses that are mitigated on a scale of a single army are bonkers, which makes it extremely hard to fight fairly. That's why the destruction of necron tombs seems like "the best" idea.

Didnt see any “maniac” driving there, the only vehicle he got close to was barely moving and needed sirens etc to encourage the, to move, beyond that he was making excellent use of clear spaces for long overtakes etc, at no point was he making sharp movements or harsh accelerations that would risk his control of the vehicle. This is exactly how you drive and move through traffic at speed safely, by the book as a pursuit driver.

  890. There's a real world experiment about a Utopia for mice. Hundreds of mice were given every thing they need to live and thrive... and it didn't end well. Many just stopped reproducing, factions formed in different sections of their habitat, they would even fight very violently, some stopped eating or doing anything entirely and just died in their holes. It's scary, and I think it's worth looking into.

  892. Since you are doing reactions to sci-fi videos like Warhammer 40K, might I suggest "The Politics Of Starship Troopers" by Sagon Of Akkad.

  905. Machine Spirits, from my understanding, are artificial intelligences that function at an animalistic or instinctual level of intelligence. They have personalities, and can influence their operators, and sometimes even act completely on their own, but they're not completely self aware in a true sense. Truly self aware artificial intelligences are heretekal because they can quite easily either get corrupted by Chaos, or they view Chaos as such an extreme threat that the only way to truly destroy it is to destroy all life. Most imperial tech is treated almost like an animal in writing. Titans and Knights have instinctual personalities thar influence their pilots, and it takes a specific personality in the pilot to influence it in turn.
    3
  906. Machine spirits are separate from the lobotomized brains they put in some things. While not all machines will have a human brain within them they are all believed to hold a machine spirit. More complex and powerful machines tend to have stronger spirits (which might be ai it’s unclear) that can sometimes act out on their own without or against the will of their users. Also the emperor decided not to conquer them since they would be too costly to defeat (especially since the only other world in the imperium at the time was earth) and they would be far more useful and effective as willing allies. Also with the tech stagnation there’s a different reason. Humanity in this universe actually became much more advanced than they are in the 41st milenium. But something called the age of strife (which is a long story) caused technology to regress immensely. As kind of a response to this the adeptus mechanicus has the main belief that all technology already exists and just needs to be found again. So one of their main goals is always finding old tech that exceeds their own. Even in the year 40,000 humanity is pathetically weak compared to their prime. Even some of the imperium’s best current equipment was originally meant for mining, farming, and labor before.
    3
  907. Basically, how the mechanicus think, in regards to no development or innovation, is kind of philosophical. Most mechanicus believe that all knowledge is available in the universe, and you just have to find it. If that information is destroyed, and it's simply lost. There's no getting it back. This belief is bolstered by the existance of a thing called an STC, or Standard Template Construct. The STC is basically a blueprint of how to make the machines to make things, from the dark age of technology. (Basically, in human history, about 20,000-27,000 humanity was absurdly strong, and then some super-intelligent robots called the Men of Iron rebelled and caused a lot of issues. [Also why AI is heresy in 30k-40k, because of this] This whole period from humanity's golden age to the end of the war with the Men of Iron is the Dark age of technology) These STC's are basically the holy grail for the mechanics. Any innovation besides small augments are from digging up STC's and parts of STC's. In addition, the mechanicus's religion comes from just after the dark age of technology. Basically, just after the Dark Age, the Eldar (space elves) were reaching the pinnacle of some crap that was causing these storms in space that was making long-distance travel impossible. Meaning that many places couldn't supply themselves, and Mars was no exception. So they had to use the industry on the planet, and augmentations to survive long-term. And when you are this reliant on technology to survive you begin to venerate the mechanics that keep you alive. This turns into a religion. This plays into the "no innovating or altering" part because when your machines working is a life or death scenario, you don't want anyone fiddling with your machines. Throw in some hyper-religion, and that gets codified into policy. There have been exceptions. Big E pushed them to innovate from time to time, and Belisarius Cawl (the guy Bricky mentioned) is often disliked by the other mechanicus because he's done wuite a bit of inventing.

  909. As someone who has worked with IT professionals in the NHS, actually the "that one guy got this working but he's not here now so we don't dare switch it off" is alarmingly common. Sometimes a part of a large organisation with budgetary restrictions' system doesn't integrate with a system and some creative temporary solution is cooked up by a mad genius... and nobody asks them how they did it, or tries to work out a proper solution.

  911. Fast, loud and violent is the go to tactic on any mission for Space Marines. As for the turbolaser taking out a couple dozen of the nameless enemies, the gun crew were in possession of probably the only weapon capable of actually taking out a Space Marine. Collateral damage is well worth it if you think you can take one out. Most of those guys were either conscripts or just rebels in nice kit.

  915. I guess if we want to discuss why walkers are bipedal, we should talk about the advantages of being bipedal. 1: height. Being bipedal allows for an expansion of the field of view without needing much mass (like elephants) or specialized body structures (like giraffes) to see both over a large area and over obstacles. 2: ease of storage. Being bidpedal, we dont take up too much 2d space. Take humans, and an animal with equal mass yet is quadrapedal, and you would be able to fill 2 same size rooms with more humans than with the animal (if you didnt stack them). 3: transversing verticle obstacles. A quadrapedal animal would have a harder time moving around in a space with many tall vertical objects due to their length, where a bipedal creature such as humans would have less of an issue. So, lets translate this to titans. Being gigantic and tall, they would have a supreme view of the battlefield beaten only by airbourne or orbit-bound vessels. This would allow them to use their arsenal to the fullest extent without assistance. While few in number, the size of titans means that every square inch of storage space for them during transport is valuable. And finally, bipedal titans would have an easier time transversing inner city layouts without beging hindered by their size nearly as much if they were quadrapedal.

  916. About assasins in Imperium; Empire not necessarily fighting only xenos. They're also fighting chaos cultist, people who are humans but pray to chaos Gods or any Gods other than the Emperor. So there is lots of in fighting since over the fall of the Emperor, there seems to be people who forgot about the Emperor or changed the story so much, it came to the point of heresy.
    3
  917. Also, fun-fact about the custodians, they are not only the best soldiers in the entire imperium, but also really good Philosophers, economcists, and I think adminstrators, because Big E wanted someone to talk to about such things other then his primarchs.

  918. Recommend Luetin09 Dark Beginnings which should help explain some of your questions of warp, setting ect. Also since you like death Korps of Krieg, Arch has a good video telling their full backstory
    3
  919. The reason for the bipedal walkers in any scifi franchise is simple: it is the most familiar to the humans who operate it. They don't need to think about how to move and act, it's just instinctual, as opposed to even something as simple as riding a bike where we always need to be conscious of how we move and compensate in ways we don't need to while walking. Making a walker bipedal is just that much simpler for the operator, one less thing to worry about in warfare. Especially if you end up in melee combat. And this really shines in 40k, because the pilots are hooked up to the machine and control it by mind instead of handheld controls like a tank or fighter jet.
    3
  920. The Imperium of man it's like what Arch said, a Theocratic oligarchy. Thou the Imperium is a lot more like the British or the Roman Empire, because the Imperium allow each planet or system to govern itself anyway they like as long as they pay the imperium's due.
    3
  921. The thing about the definition of fascism is that it's not actually a solid ideology with guiding principles, which even something as broad as liberalism has. It's an incoherent, messy confluence of nationalism, anti-socialism, racism, misogyny, admiration of a prelapsarian past that never existed, a su*cidal martyr/hero cult and I could go on, but it's simply more useful to just read Umberto Eco's 14 characteristics of fascism and understand that it's a confluence of the traits examined rather than checklist to be completed before you can call something fascist. And I do mean something as in movement, society or state. Because once fascism is a state's policy it's too late to try and internally defend against it without already hemorrhaging tremendous amounts of innocent lives. And also I feel like Arch specifically is unqualified in trying to use a definition of fascism considering he is one (he literally is against the Black Lives Matter movement on the shakiest arguments possible) used a fascist's view of fascism rather than an outside perspective of either someone victimized by a fascist movement or an opponent of it, considering both are much more capable of spotting it and, crucially, much more open about what a fascist movement does. That said I liked the way you went with the video.
    3
  922. Havent finished the full video but an issue im seeing is that you are using the emperor a lot as an authority on what the imperium wants. I dont think that works because he was really only present in the imperium for a couple hundred years of the 10k years the imperium has existed, most of which he spent as either a battlefield commander or a researcher. Then on top of that the actual imperial state as the emperor wanted it didn't really exist until the end of the crusade(and ended some time around the end of the 30k year), as before then there wasn't really much inter planetary bureaucracy but instead just conquered worlds planetary governors watching overseeing a planets rebuilding. I think an analogy to sum this up would be like if someone tried to asses late Ptolemaic egypt using alexander the greats ethics, it just doesnt really work because he wasn't around to rule any of his conquered land that much.

  937. The lasconnon killed 2 iron warriors and it stunned the dreadnought allowing the captain to engage in melee. I think your a bit confused also in the lore lascannos can and will kill tanks and even if they hit a space marine will get at least hurt if not outright killed. If you any questions reply to this comment
    3
  938. In this situation the lascannon was the wrong choice. There are many AT weapons available, the guard don't have access to them all. You have krak missiles which have good range but are the least effective. The lascannon has a longer range and much better ap. The missile has abou 33% chance of penitration the lascanon has about 50%. The other option which sadly the guard don't have is the multimelta which is very short ranged and difficult to move but has a 90% chance to penitrate the dreadnought. There is a more mobile version called a melta which guard do have access to but your almost in close quarters. Then there's an even smaller version the inferno postal which only has a range of a few feet. Table top rules (may be out of date): Name range penitration pot dam Lascannon 72" 9+1d6 10-15 Krak 48" 8+1d6 9-14 Multimelta 24" 8+2d6 10-20 Melta 12" Inferno 4" The dreadnought needs to be hit with a damage value of 12 to inflict minor damage but iron warriors like to reinforce their armour so it may need a 13.

  939. Your harsh critique of the weaponry used in defense against the enemy Astartes is very common outside the fandom, they are mostly flashlights and pea-shooters. Consider that in the Imperium of Man, a domain consisting of millions of settled worlds, the likelihood of even seeing an Astartes, let alone fighting one, are extremely remote. Also. Most of said worlds are critically short on everything, weapons tech included. Millennia of cultural and technological stagnation can be a bitch.

  940. The imperial guard do use heavy bolters at fixed positions

  941. Ok I'm gonna tell you this, that hammer is a thunder hammer, a power weapon. Power weapons are melee weapons used not only by the Imperium but also the Eldar, Chaos and orks There are power hammers, power swords, power mauls and lightning claws They generates an powerful energy field around the weapon like a hammers head or a sword blade this energy field disrupts the molecules where it cuts or strikes they very devastating weapons that can crushed or cut through anything

"For should the enemy strengthen his van, he will weaken his rear; should he strengthen his rear, he will weaken his van; should he strengthen his left, he will weaken his right; should he strengthen his right, he will weaken his left.

  944. I gotta tell you the strike gum works!!! I’m a maintenance man. I take one on the garbage and recycling day right before I move the heavy stuff and it worked. Also, one of the thing that I noticed was a complete benefit is if I would drink a energy drink before I do that it would make my stomach feel a little weird when moving to heavier stuff because I’d be full, I don’t get that feeling from the gum

  945. Also, afaik, nobody knows where Ethereals came from. They are certainly psykers but not sure they are influenced by the warp

  946. Problem with the Tau is that they are all mentally enslaved by the Ethereals. They didn't wage war against each other because they didn't really have free will. If the Ethereals were killed the Tau themselves realise this. Everyone keeps forgetting that and they just think Tau is dandy do-gooders for weebs.

Because to me, I am a gamer, but it's so hard to imagine the whole "10 minutes of straight gunfire and panic" because as these guys are trained it looks like an "oh shit moment". Or maybe this is just Tuesday.

  949. An Astartes Chapter doesn't just have the 1000 Marines. There are also thousands of serfs and Servitors (lobotomized humans made into robotic drones) to do their chores and whatnot. While a Chaplain and other senior members of the Marines oversee the process, it is more likely they are looking over all the infos their serfs gathered throughout the months/year and pick out the best fit, rather than the Marines themselves constantly watching over some camera footage. Some Chapters may also prefer to directly pick out a candidate on the spot, like gathering some underhive gangs and let them fight.
    3
  950. Usually a Space Marine chapter will have what is known as a Master of Recruits; this particular officer will be in charge of the monitoring of promising candidates to be recruited to become Aspirants as well as their training and processing into the chapter. Usually in more Codex Compliant chapters these officers are commanders of the final Company within the Chapters personnel roster otherwise known as the Scout Company which is the first step most recruits take after induction where they don a type of combat armor known as carapace armor which is normally armor reserved for Imperial Guard veterans or stormtroopers and are given a kit of reconnaissance gear as well as sniper rifles or even Stalker bolters which are the sniper variant of the standard Marine boltgun. These recruits have to perform a tour of service as Scout Marines, gaining combat experience before earning their chance to become full Marines of the Chapter as Devastator Marines, then Assault Marines, and finally becoming Tactical Marines until they earn their chance to either become honored veterans or being promoted to Company Captains themselves or having been transferred into the more specialist roles such as Apothecaries, Techmarines, Chaplains, or the Librarius.

  951. In regards to the whole betrayal thing, this is somewhat addressed in the lore. Dante, the current Chapter Master of the Blood Angels, and his childhood best friend that he was selected with, were given a trial. The space marine told Dante to kill his friend. Dante looked a SUPER HUMAN GOD in the eyes, as a child mind you who knows what this being is capable of, and said, "No." He didn't even consider it. And that was the trial. He passed. Of course it's going to vary a lot when you have 1,000 chapters and they are always recruiting to replace losses, but I don't think that having trainees betray one another would be at all common, and where it does occur, I would think that it's simply a part of the testing. Maybe they all turned on each other when asked to do so, or when it is made to seem as if that's their only choice. And because they decided to agree to the terms of said trial, they fail it. In fact I would like to back this philosophy up with more lore. During the Great Crusade, it was unthinkable that any Astartes would ever fight each other. To even suggest that strategies or plans should be developed for that scenario was seen as such a grave insult that you would be officially reprimanded and even possibly sent out to get killed. And then the Horus Heresy happened. Everyone became SUPER PARANOID. You'll learn a character during Luetin's video on the Grey Knights, who had warned the Imperium of the Heresy, but was imprisoned anyway because nobody knew if he was truly loyal. This character himself didn't even know if he was loyal, not truly. He couldn't know what he would do until the opportunity to betray is presented to himself, there's no metric for measuring loyalty, it's only a feeling, a guess. It has to be tested by whether you DO, or DON'T. You only know once the action has occurred. Now recall how INSANELY high loyalty is placed upon the list of virtues within the Imperium. They're going to do some insanely crazy shit to test that loyalty. And if you show that you're not, well, they'll let you expose yourself sure, but I would not bet on them letting you walk away afterwards.

  962. 6:13 Well "small arms " isn't exactly how you should describe a Bolter... Bolters have .75 cal self propelled explosive rounds. They first penetrates the targets then explodes. Its litteraly an Hybrid between an RPG and an assault rifle. 10:13 Renegades and Traitors or Cultists are not each and everytime really trained people, so their aim and discipline can be REALLy bad. Chaos Forces still has those cause they basicaly are cannon fodder, and they throw them in mass in the enemies feet . Now some regiments of the IG can turn traitor, in wich case you have Chaos Renegades that has better training and discipline and equipement. But seeing their disparate and poor equipement, you could say that most of them are from gangs, Pirates, mercenaries or simply criminals. So for them to miss 8 of the 10 shots, is actually not that surprising. 10:25 while yes historicly Cavalery units lost their usefullness in contemporary times due to technological advances. In 40k its quite the opposite, Those Horses, you see?, arn't real Horses... they are Bio-engineered Clones, they are more akin to a mix of Bear and Horses, juiced up with steroids and sometimes even bionics... Not only they are perfectly trained for battle, they also don't feel or react to pain,and they are quite resilient, even if they where shot, unless its a critical hit or a fatal hit, it just won't care and keep on going... And thats THOSE "Horses", there is Other Cavalery units in the IG, called Rough Ridders units, and a portion of them has Xeno Mounts, Mounts that can range from giant lizards Velociraptors looking sunabitches to stuff that its even more exotic, has long that they can breed them, train them and use them in war, its all good. And lets not talk about Daemonic Cavalery, that the Forces of Chaos, as acces to, the Khorne Juggernauts, who are LITERAL Rhinoceros made out of Brass and steel, with pistons instead of muscles and Boiling magma as blood... Or the Nimble and slitherin Slaanesh Mounts, who are like snakes with agile and nimble aviary legs, with wip like tongues. The Plague Drones of Nurgle, who are gigantic flying Wasps/insectoids that spread diseases and Plagues around with the buzzing of their wings... And off course the Screamers of Tzeentch, Flying eldritch Manta rays with tentacles, horns and teeths. 12:16 the Spears they use are Explosive Cavalery lances. Like you've seen those lances have explosive directional charges mounted on their tip, like a claymore mine. Wich they use to hit and penetrate light armored vehicles or heavy armored troops, thats why they where able to kill those Chaos Space Marines. It is an effective weapon ( at least in the 40k setting) Now while it doesn't make much sens according to our contemporary standards, in 40k Melee is still a viable tactic, mainly cause in the Table top, melee is one of the phases of the game (there's the movement phase to move your unitds around, the Psychic phase to use psychic abilities with the models that can, then the Shooting phase for...shooting,and then the Assault phase, where units can go into headlong charges and engage the enemies into CqC, and then the morale phase) So Assault units and tactics is an integral part of the 40k univers, cause after all, when you're out of bullets and are so close that you can smell your enemies mroning coffee, a good ol' melee match is always a good thing. ALL units in 40k can attack in melee, but there is off course units that specialise in it more than others. 16:10 Kriegers shovels are reinforced and sharpened so that they can use it in combat as weapons... Either they'll dig a trench, or they'll Dig YOU with it, but it is never lost... 19:30 This, is a Khorne Berzerker, from the World Eaters Traitor Legion... The World Eaters are One fo the original Space Marines Legions that served the Emperor during the Great crusade 10.000 years ago. They joined Horus, during the Horus Heresy, and became traitors. They all ready had a reputation of sinister and Psychotic killers , but after the Heresy, it just got worse. The whole legion took up the Woreship of Khorne, the God of Blood, Skulls and War. Even before that they used a device called the Butcher's Nails, wich is a neurological implant, that changes the chemistry of the brain to become Angrier and more Aggresive. The subjects litteraly cannot feel joy or peace of mind, if they don't fight and kill, they only find some peace when they are killing and the blood is flowing,and the Nails are constantly buzzing in the back of their skulls, unless they commit acts of atrocities and bloodshed. It was exacerberated after the heresy, when blind zealotry was mixed in, the Teachings of the Blood God, is to take the skulls of worthy opponents and make the blood flow, no matter from where it comes, as long that it keep flowing. Thats why when a Khorne Berzerker is dying from his wounds, and cannot take anyone skull because of it, he will turn his own chainsword/chainaxe against his own neck and decapitate himself and offer his Skull to Khorne, cause Khorne welcomes the Skulls of his Champions as much as thos of his enemies. Berzerkers do not feel fear, or feel pain, they are Maniacal psychotic Killers and murderers, and nothing is of any importance outside the Blood Shed, Blood for the Blood God, Skulls for the Skull Throne.

  966. The halo is called an Iron Halo. Iron Halos are typically given to Captains. It gives off an energy field that allows for resisting wounds and stopping damage. Those were Ultramarines in the battle. The cheapest 40k army to start is the Custodes as it requires the fewest number of models to make an army. Space marines are probably the next cheapest and a Combat Patrol box is supposed to get you a 25 power lever or 500 point game with them +/- depending on the box. Indomitus was a great box set at the time but was limited release and had 2 factions in it just like the starter sets.
    2
  967. So recommending a model range, I think you gotta factor in a lot of stuff. Especially if you are concerned with how they play! But a lot of times, I'd say, what seems the coolest to you.

  970. 1. Faith in the emperor is cover. 2. They're Ultramarines; not Imperial Fists. Imperial Fists would be more mind tuned to use shields as Ultramarines are numbers, speed and maneuverability over static positions though it does seem they did try to set up a gun line to cover the assault element but alas, lack of cover and scarabs ruined that.
    2
  971. I am disappointed in the lack of heavy flamers knowing they were going against the Necron. Heavy flamers are supremely effective at dealing with a mass of scarab. If a marine has them on them, a little once-over with the flamer does well at removing them.

  972. Space marine armour can shug off quite a bit more than sororitas armour. A modern grenade launcher might knock an astartes slightly off balance but the amour its self would be left relatively unscathed

  975. The halo around their head is actually a piece of kit called the iron halo. The iron halo actually projects an energy field to block or reduce incoming fire. Basically a force field. It is often only gifted to senior space marines so it can also be seen as a sign of rank. Long story short, the halo is a badge of seniority and a piece of kit, it is not unique to the ultramarine and those are ultramarine. You were right about the primaris. It's also funny you mention microwave guns. There used to be a class of weaponry called volkite which were basically heat rays. They fell out of favor during the horus heresy because they had trouble with penetrating space marine armor as well as how complex they were, so their production was roughly discontinued.

  977. I haven't seen a video in which the author considers necrons, so some things could have already been heard... 1) The starting point of the imperial calendar is not the Birth of Christ, but the first human flight into space, i.e. 1961. Therefore, our year 2021 according to the imperial calendar will be M1.060 2) Not only the Sisters of Battle are capable of Acts of Faith. Anyone who sincerely and fervently believes in the Emperor is capable of this. And Acts of Faith are not limited to healing. After all, these are divine miracles. 3) The Warhammer 40,000 universe, despite the entourage , is a fantasy. And, as in many other fantasy universes, there are undead in Warhammer. In 40k, the undead are represented by the necron race. The simplest undead troops are skeletons and zombies. From the first appearance, from the second vitality and slowness, to put everything in metal - that's the basic necron warrior for you. Zombies are usually represented as stupid and slow - so no hiding places. Only a blunt attack in the forehead. 4) The Sisters of Battle, like other Adeptus Sorroritas, have a negative attitude towards Space Marines. In most Orders, the Emperor is revered not as a God, but as ... the founder. They admit that He created primarchs and legions. But not as a God. Because of this, in the eyes of the Sisterhood, Space Marines are heretics. Yes, and the genetic modifications of the paratroopers from the point of view of the sisters are mutations and heresy (turning a blind eye to the fact that these modifications come from the Emperor). But they are too useful for the Imperium to openly try to destroy them. Which wouldn't stop some fanatical sister from giving the Astartes a little shit. And such battles, when Astartes are shoulder to shoulder fighting with Sorroritas , are not the most common thing that can be found on the battlefield. 5) That shield fighter is just an animated old miniature Astartes. The claims are not to the animators, but to those who came up with such miniatures. 6) The original plot moves of the necrons are the legacy of later editions. Initially, the cyberzombi had only a hatred of life and the inspiring will of K'tan P.S.: An online translator was used to write this post. Therefore, I ask you not to pay attention to strange constructions of phrases, etc.

  978. Yep. Ta.🙃

  979. A lot of the bizarre tactics are due to theological reasons. 1. With the deathkorp there's a common distinction they make between suicide and sacrifice. As such they will only charge out en masse if there can at least get something out of it such as advance the lines or even gain intelligence on the enemy. One such example was the seige of vraks where in the opening skirmishes the deathkorp were sending waves of men against the walls in order to figure out where the enemy is weakest by seeing how many men were dying at what area. Concluding that areas were dying in fewer numbers. Theologically the deathkorp hold to a notion of the cult of sacrifice where the highest honour they can achieve is to sacrifice their lives for the emperor. The shovel thing is a bit of a meme. 2. The adeptus Mechanicus are a very theocratic organisation. They hold belief in the Omnissiah or machine gods and as such titans are often considered representations of their gods. In regards to logistics most imperial fleets have ships dedicated to refinement of raw metals and fabrication of materials and munitions. 3. You are being slightly uncharitable in regards to the command structure of the imperium. Yes certain organisations are outside any means of authority but they can and do coordinate with each other. In a case of a joint operation between Astartes and imperial guard the space marine chapter master will take overall charge of the campaign. If the inquisition get involved then both space marines and imperial guard will defer to them instead. If Mechanicus forces arrive they will defer to no one and whomever is in charge will have to work at building a set rapport with whomever is in charge of the cog boys forces in order for them to work together in a meaningful fashion. Often these seemingly odd degrees of separation are a guard against the threat of chaos corruption. It was the justification for the ultramarines primarch Robute Guilliman writing the codex Astartes. A book designed to dictate how Astartes should organise and form themselves. One such rule is splitting space marine organisations down from legions where there's no ceiling on numbers to chapters with no more than 1000 battle brothers. One such odd degree of separation you may not be aware of is most of imperial guard regiments being forbidden from forming combined arms regiments. In modern armies nations will raise military units of various types. Infantry regiments, tank regiments, artillery regiments so on so forth. But in 40k a world that raised IG units will be limited to a specific type of troop and when deployed they will be deployed alongside other IG units of q different set up. This is an oddly counter intuitive way of organising an army true but that's the point and again it's due to chaos. The idea being is that If a unit turns traitor it will only be them affected and that unit will be unable to cause significant damage to the remaining loyalist units as the commander can deal with the traitor unit by deploying the appropriate counter to it.

Also the Emperor in this universe was massively anti-religion, in fact it more than likely kills his soul he is now prayed to as a god.

  998. I see they used both new and old lore, regarding the squig types, my favorite being the squig sharks from Deff Skwadron comics. They did gloss over the klans so I'll try to sum them up shortly: Goffs - most numerous, no-nonsense kind of klan, charge into fight good and orky, lots of stormboyz (when young ork wants to rebel against chaotic nature of ork society, he joins the stormboyz, since they like their discipline, marching, training, polishing boots and rocket packs) and 9 of 10 times a warboss hails from the Goffs (Ghazkhgull is notable example). Blood Axes - they use stealth and camos (the loosest meaning of camo), don't consider retreating cowardly but reasonable and logical, most Kommando orks(think sas, delta and such modern day units) are from Blood Axes and a few warbosses, they were meant to be leaders of the ork race but are distrusted by other klans. Bad Moons - richest and well equipped, lots of custom gear and teef (ork teeth are currency, caveat is they don't last long but grow and fall out very very easily, like shark teeth). Evil Suns - they love their land and air vehicles, lots of Speedfreeks. DeathSkulls - looters and oddboys in abundance, also distrusted (they tend to steal stuff) but not as much as Blood Axes, mad dok Grotsnik is a Deathskull (iirc). Snakebites - think Ork amish, but not above using technology when appropriate, they breed alot of grots, snotlings and squigs of all shapes and sizes, small and gargantuan, they also hold to the ''live off the land, go find war, kill what comes close, old wayz is best'' philosophy.

  1000. Before 40k, there was Warhammer Fantasy, which in turn was largely based on Tolkien and DnD. WH40k is Warhammer Fantasy in space, co knight became Space Marines, Ork still speak a pidgin version of human language, Latin is High Gothic, while English is Low Gothic, Dark Elves became Dark Eldar and so on. A lot of WH40k weirdness makes more sense when you think of it's predecessors in Warhammer Fantasy. Orks eat things like Squigs and Gretchin. Their growing bigger mechanics is similar to steroids and growth hormone; it doesn't create mass out of nothing, but it still makes their size increase. Squigs and Orks grow in underground sacks and are provided nutrients by large underground network of fungus. Presumably there is photosynthesis or other chemical energy source somewhere at the bottom. Ork Heaven was when they invaded the Warp. Korne was so amused by this that he gave them a planet inside the warp where they reincarnate each day, then fight chaos demons to the death and they consider it the best afterlife ever. The Tau met the Orks, tried to introduce them to the Greater Good, failed (obviously), then decided the Orks are beyond redemption and should just be killed. There was no Wagh against the Tau. The philosophical differences among Orks are basically "let's just be primitives and chop everything with melee weapons", "we like flashy stuff, like energy weapons", "need for speed", etc. This is similar to how Empire has different military units.

  1001. Slight flaw with your logic regarding the limitation of growth in animals; many animals, namely fish, crustaceans, cephalopods, and some reptiles, will grow throughout their entire lives and can grow to monstrous proportions. Most of these are held back by disease, short natural lifespans, biological killswitches that naturally limit overpopulation, and of course trauma, but there really isn't an intrinsic limit to how large or quickly animal life can grow. Orks, in this case, never stop growing until they get beaten down enough to become submissive, at which point their growth is temporarily stunted, and constant conflict against an opponent they refuse to submit to allows their growth to continue unhindered. And Orks can grow to be dozens of feet tall if they've been in the game for a few millennia. So if you consider the 7 to 10 foot tall Boyz to be newborn runts fresh out of the fungal patch, and most humans go from a small baby less than a foot in height to 5 or 6 feet tall in the span of 15 to 20 years...
    2
  1002. Regarding Orks energy intake, the old Deff Skwadron comic had a diagram page that showed the (hilariously nonsensical) cockpit of a dakkajet; one of the key things I took from it was the fuel line that runs through the cockpit incase the pilot gets thirsty. A quick Google search shows that a gallon of jet fuel has 33,963,886.5 calories, so I don't think they would run into a problem there!

  1006. To my understanding. This was a 2 car convoy. These 2 brave men are actually in a armored rover type vehicle following an armored transport vehicle carrying cell phones. The objective of the ambush was to take out the rover first to make the transport vehicle more accessible. I believe the reason he went back through the enemy was to reconnect with the primary transport. At the end of video, the abrupt stop was another vehicle ramming them. After he exited the vehicle with his assault rifle he got down on one knee and prepared to engage the men pursuing them. The sigh of him ready armed and waiting was enough to detour his attackers from engaging him and his partner. Both men made it out fine and with one hell off a story.

  1010. The security company posted an aftermath photo on facebook.

  1014. it was not even crash in transit?.. it was just cell phones?. what the hell kind of phones were they ..

  1015. South Africa

  1016. Thankyou so much for your insights here

  1017. Engine block theory of withstanding bullets has been misconstrued as being impervious to rounds fire from many high velocity rifle bullets.
    2
  1018. Glass is one hell of an underrated material. You should do a video on Prince-Rupert-drops vs bullets

  1019. Here’s Leos interview: https://youtu.be/hwyG5_Xi_lQ

  1020. The Cash in transit vehicles are majorly armoured here in South Africa as this is almost a daily occurrence here

  1021. Didn't pick up on the bad comms capability! No radio communication. Just a mobile.

  1022. I hope he drove up and to a higher point to get the advantage of higher ground
    2
  1023. What's your analysis of the secondary shooter?
    2
  1024. I think in the last part he was trying to drive over a curb or median strip on the street, but eventually got stuck. I read when police officers arrived the armed-robbers were still willing to engage in a shootout against them! One police officer and a security guard were shot and wounded. Three men were arrested (though they suspect more were involved), and they had 3 AK-47s with them. https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2021-04-29-cop-wounded-in-botched-macassar-cash-in-transit-heist-on-the-cape-flats/

  1025. Props to these guys for staying considerably calm in this situation. If there were people shooting at me i would be panicking even if i had a rifle in my hands lol Also props to whoever manufactured that vehicle, cause it did it's job very well.

  1026. Praised be the Omnissiah

  1027. The smaller gun on the shoulder is actually Heavy Stubber, which is almost exactly Browning M2 HMG. Knights usually have something heavier mounted on the top. Usually they have one big gun on one hand, one close combat weapon on another, one small shoulder-mounted anti-infantry gun and one anti-air turret on top.
    2
  1028. Warlord class titans are the deadliest and tallest titans to exist
    2
  1029. In reference to the imperial knight. It actually has a 360 degree field of fire. mechwarrior allows mechs to turn at the hips 180 degrees while walking in a different direction. Imperial knights and most titans can do the same, except their hips can pivot 360 degrees. Rarely shown, but they can, usually done to guard their own back (were their core is usually located). Not sure if they can do a full 360 while walking tho
    2
  1030. You speak about 360 degree mounted weapons, but did you consider that the knight can turn 360 degree on his hip and is way more agile then a tank? Clearly so far in sci-fi they could be more efficent with non humanoid forms, but i would actually say a knight beats any modern tank, even if he would maybe have too fight 3-4x his amount.
    2
  1031. The box thingy is the dreadnoughts, it seems to be having a gatling and a free arm(though their arms some times have mini gatlings or flamethrowers) The knight appears to be having a standard armament of a shoulder mounted autocannon, an arm held cannon and a close combat chainsword. And yes am pretty sure that's what's the case with marines xD their bioengineering causes them to have computer like control of their actions so they don't worry about accidentally trigger pulls but more like the half sec it would take to put the finger back to the trigger.
    2
  1032. I love that you mention the trigger finger. Having done military service myself, this is always a thing I am looking out in anydepiction of handling firearms. Do the get it right, or do they provoke a punch in the face.
    2
  1033. There is also the chaos god of unbelief or the destruction of religion/belief in a deities/gods. This shows that anything can become a chaos god including unbelief
    2
  1034. 18:23 The Inquisition: Do not say that about your God-Emperor!!! Paul: haha heresy go brrrrr
    2
  1035. the chaos gods did nothing wrong!
    2
  1036. To give you a rundown on the Death Korps if you're unaware, they all come from the planet Krieg that once rebelled against the Emperor of Man and was consumed by 500 years of atomic civil war, leaving it a barren rock where its survivors can only live underground. They basically swore an oath of penance to the Emperor and commit every single able-bodied soldier to join the Astra Militarum, and teach every single one of them from birth that they were born to die. Where most planets produce resources, Krieg produces expendable lives; men that are completely indoctrinated by a dogma of self-sacrifice to pay penance to the Emperor for their ancestor's rebellion. The doctrine of the Death Korps is to the point that, normal Imperial Commissars are often forced to shoot their own men for retreating or failing the Emperor. Death Korps Commissars are just there to stop their men from suicide charging when it's not appropriate.
    2
  1037. you should react to arch death korp of krieg video it is technically part of the vraks series ps not a video game new edition of a tapletop game

  1038. Dawn of war 2 the best of the best

  1041. Thanks!

  1042. Yeah I kinda hate the fetishization of traumatized children as warriors and tough and all that bs. First of all these aren’t kids that just experienced one traumatic even but it’s years of their life if not their entire life, most people don’t actually have a conception of how damaging that trauma is, how severe that ptsd from an upbringing like that is and how they really are not a good or stable selection for soldiers. You see the same thing in other sci-fi universes like halo with Spartan 3’s making children orphaned by the covenant into Spartans for similar reasons. But the reality is children that have already experienced untold horrors are not mentally developed enough to deal with that trauma, experiencing something traumatic as an adult is already rough but as a kid it changes the way your mind works and the way you see the world everyday. You’d be the worst pick for a super soldier that had to live 100’s of years accumulating more trauma especially when you consider the likelihood of falling to the warp or chaos is something that is often brought on by mental instability. It’s a completely bs trope and I appreciate you calling it out in your video. It’s a dumb and inefficient thing the imperium does because the 40K universe wants to be “grimdark” but anyone that thinks it makes any sort of sense is fooling themselves.
    2
  1043. The Templin Institute's tyranids video is really informative, I would highly recommend.
    2
  1044. I agree with you. Trials are important, especially in childhood. Everything from earning the Eagle Scout rank, to a black belt in a martial art, to military training, to first hunt, first crappy job, even something as simple as a diploma... Such trials help teach confidence and self reliance, usually strength of character, etc. And we see in the real world where children who never have to work for something almost always fail miserably at life.
    2
  1045. “Commenting on american military and how it used to be standard for commanders to micro manage every single action” As one german general said. “How the hell do we try and make counterplans for the americans. Half the time they don’t even know what theyre going to do”
    2
  1046. The blood ravens are the chapter in dawn of war so spoiler alert, but they are known as a chapters that is known for stealing any powerful object they can find. Whether it belongs to them or not. Or corrupt them or not. They will take it all the same.
    2
  1047. Weird fact. The emperor is probably still alive thanks to the orks physic ability of belief and the amount of souls that the imperium is pumping into the golden Jesus son of a gun
    2
  1048. salamanders: bob ross but in power armor and hates eldars dark angels: unnecessarily keeping unnecessary secrets ultramarines: white scars: BIKES imperial fists: bob the builder went to space space wolf: furries with axes blood angels: drinks blood and super gay for sanguinius iron hands: prosthetic addicts raven guards: space emo with jet packs
    2
  1049. "It's the 3 of you against 800 gazillion genestealers." That seems like normal odds for a space marine to face. Genestealers are only a threat to normal people.
    2
  1050. Terminator armor is another armor meaning it's a separate armor. Terminator armor is basically a tactical space marine armor but bigger and chonkier. If you want to a tactical space marine fit inside on another suit of armor that will be a Centurion.
    2
  1051. Yes, please stream.
    2
  1052. Just a Quick Reminder: The Dark Angels are the Space Marines most like medieval Knights. Though, there're some rumours that part of their Legion went traitor, now the Dark Angels are absolutely obsessed with Killing any of those Traitors referred to as "The Fallen". Dark Angels are known to completely give up Tactical advantages if they so much as hear a whisper that a Fallen is present, Chaos knows this and a favorite tactic of theirs is to leak false intel that a Fallen is in a certain place and just pull the Dark Angels into a Trap
    2
  1053. "Can a plant commit heresy...?" That, Brother, depends on the zeal of the Inquisitor... It could be a Xeno Heretical plant touched by Chaos, after all! Could we afford that risk?
    2
  1054. No no brother, the Apothecary's drill is for drilling into the armor so their injectors can reach the Space Marines body
    2
  1055. Space Marine recruitment practices were developed by edge lords...
    2
  1056. what most people forgett space mariens get mind wiped so it doesnt matter what you do to them as kids or recruit
    2
  1057. You must understand that in 40k humanity is downward trend. Lost knowledge has been lost. and often scrambled with religion.... and often mistaken for rituals. SOME chapters are crazy religious zealots... and some are not + every successful recruit counts 10 times when when you have hard cap for 1000 battle brothers. On contrary back in 30k if been selected and if you survived transition that was it... you are space marine
    2
  1058. Not every chapter takes convicts or does forced conscription. The First Founding chapters and most of their descendants (most) generally go off volunteers. The more insane, scary, or completely desperate ones (due to catastrophic losses) use forced conscription. There's more than 1000 chapters out there and each have varied methods of recruitment, Leutins is going over them all generally. Feral world based Space Marines are not going to recruit from gangers in hive worlds, and hive world based ones aren't going to a feral world to recruit either. Yes, there are Chapter Serfs. Some are failed Aspirants who survived, others are volunteers who see the honor to serve with the Space Marines in a non-combat manner as a massive holy undertaking, others are just the lobotimized servitors. Again, depends on the chapter. One chapter, known as the Reclaimers recruit only volunteers and those who don't become Aspirants or full Marines are kept as Chapter Serfs who then serve in various forms. In Dune the trial was known as the Gom Jabbar. It wasn't testing for the Kwisatz Haderach, it was testing for humans. The idea being that an animal would chew off their own limb and escape the pain, while a human endures to wait for the one who set the trap, and kill a threat to them and theirs. It is normally only administered to Bene Geserit initiates, who are all female. Paul Atreides underwent it because Lady Jessica defied the orders to give birth to a daughter, had Paul, bringing forward the timeline for Kwisatz Haderach by a generation. Ontop of Lady Jessica training Paul in Bene Gesserit ways and setting him up for being the Kwisatz Haderach, though he himself claimed he was not. Regarding being "blessed by the universer" in 40k. It's literally possible. All the godlike beings including the Emperor, are basically massive psychic gestalts that can reach out and influence the material world. Or hell, a sufficiently powerful pysker could do it themselves, consciously or unconsciously. Again, not every chapter does tournament eliminations.
    2
  1059. LUCK!?!? FAVOUR BY THE UNIVERSE!?!?!? HERESYYY!!!!!!!!
    2
  1060. You’re looking at this from a modern military perspective. The truth here is that everything is horrible, nothing will be fair, and if you die you just weren’t good enough and it’s better that way. They aren’t selecting anything but the best. If you can’t overcome luck then you’re not the best.
    2
  1061. It was irritating see Askren keeping his hands so low. I noticed it in his pad work and sparring footage. Zero head movement and keeps his hands down by his chest. I knew right then and there he would likely get KOed by Jake's overhand.
    2
  1062. Jake Paul co-owns Triller the company who put on the flight. Seems like a conflict of interest and I guess a good business decision all at once.
    2
  1063. Amazing break down man
    2
  1064. ben was 215 and has to loss all that weight to 191
    2
  1065. Great video! You should break down Jake Paul vs AnEsonGib
    2
  1066. I did notice a change of Russian tactics. A runner with white armbands ran far in front of the armour, and turned back to police them to a stop before AT mines.
    2
  1067. Have you switched something up? Could've swore your mic used to be clearer sounding before
    2
  1068. Thanks
    2
  1069. Tyranis spores mostly mutate plants and fungi, not animals. And in a very simple ways, stimulating growth to the point any vegetation quickly grows into thick jungles, depleting soil of all nutrients. This overgrown jungle is then used as a fuel to feed tryranid hordes.
    2
  1070. Of course there are empty spaces between galaxies. The bugs ate everything else.
    2
  1071. The Astronomicon had nothing to do with luring the Tyranids. It was the Pharos ( sp) that lured them here to the Milky Way Galaxy. As told in the Horus Heresy novel Pharos.
    2
  1072. i cant imagine combat veteran shooting one of his men if they turned traitor lol, id imagine he would try to talk them out of it lol
    2
  1073. The hive mind will only push out bio titans if it really really has to if they can the hive mind has and will opt for signaling the smaller creatures to swarm a tank or titan just to gunk up the gun barrels or tread with bodies until immobilized
    2
  1074. I think you might be reading the room, not the ground. Biden's electoral support won't automatically transfer to a new democratic contender, and his financial support CAN'T. Its Biden or Trump, buddy, don't know what to say. Maybe dont be a splitter or turner eh. Chur 🙃
    2
  1075. Another comprehensive Ukraine update! Thank you for partnering in making our mission more accessible. For those who want to be better informed and spot media bias, check out the link in the description.
    2
  1076. Nocturne is actually a very sunny planet with a thinner atmosphere than earth resulting in a very dark skinned recruitment pool for the salamanders.
    2
  1077. The salamanders home planet is a very active planet and it's star is very strong light
    2
  1078. Ethics? Sounds like heresy to me.
    2
  1079. The Space Marines can’t get sick, part of the Gene-Seed
    2
  1080. The Cadians are an interesting case, because their society and culture is heavily militaristic. The is a pretty ok video about Cadia by the Templin Institute, i advide you take a look at it.
    2
  1081. There are some mistakes in the things he's saying. (It was covered in the first part) Edit: I felt like I had to put it here instead of at the end... the guy being reacted to. Not the one from this channel... I apologize for not remembering your name. One example are about the Emperor being the god of the empire. But the Adeptus Mechanicus (A powerful sub-faction of the Empire) don't worship the Emperor. They worship the Omnisiah. Generally agreed upon that this being is the emperor... or the chair... but not the Emperor... And "the Empire" know they are actually too fragile to try and take this away from the Adeptus Mechanicus... They are allies, but only because everyone would die if they weren't. And they both know it. There is a bit of a tangent. But there is one story where one of the outer planets (relatively) started to claim that the Omnisiah wasn't on Terra, but was actually on their planet. Before anyone had had time to figure out how to deal with this, the Adeptus Mechanicus had preformed an Exterminatus on (Nuked) the planet. And it got no repercussions within the Imperium. (I just realized that I have written Empire instead of Imperium some places. But it's close enough). They just had to let that one slide. But on the other hand, when the Ad-mech made their own Space Marines that one time (Ironic now), they took them away from them... (I can only imagine being the inquisitor they sent to tell them. It must have been tense.) The Imperium is a bit fragile. I just think they can't let anyone know about it. I'm sure it doesn't help that the people the Ad-mech train to work their machines are basically sleeper agents for them, in case something should happen. I read somewhere that the estimate that about half the tech-marines would stay with their chapter, the other go over to Ad-mech if there were a conflict.
    2
  1082. No, he's not very good. He makes a lot of errors. BTW, Space Marines aren't clones and are immune to all diseases (except perhaps for the warp-spawned variety). They start off life as ordinary kids and get "upgraded". The chapters don't use a single tactic but rather follow the teachings of an Art Of War-type book called the Codex Astartes which supposedly contains methods of winning every conceivable combat situation.
    2
  1083. the more i see bricki video, the less i like it. he is funny, i like his joke ... but the more you advance on the video the more he'll rush things and miss details or introduce thing and not finish speaking about it. the worse would be in the xeno video when he'll be speaking about the tau ...
    2
  1084. Can't help but think that the guys at Games Workshop pulled a lot of inspiration from modern history for these Space Marine legions. The White Scars, for example, seem fairly similar to the ancient Mongols. They also rode in on horseback, struck hard and fast with their archery. Also, take into account that their leader's name is Jaghatai Khan. Coincidence? I don't think so.
    2
  1085. Yea I’ve never really liked these vids he does, a lot of what he says is either wrong or he just gets them confused
    2
  1086. 14:49 Well most of the imperiums ground based technology is designed with easy to maintain, and reliable farm equipment as a base. So, probably.
    2
  1087. No one actually knows, how old can an Astartes get. They just die faster. The oldest living one is Dante from Blood Angels and he is 2000 years old, if i remember correctly. Maybe even more, since the current events in the lore are taking place in 42nd millenia. And then we have Bjorn the Fell-handedof the the Space Wolves, the dreadnought, who saw his primarch and Emperor themselves.
    2
  1088. Dark Eldar grow bored and jaded. Their "young" can feed from any pain, but the older they get the more creative and depraved the torture to stave off Slaanesh needs to be. It spaks volumes that they keep inventing new way to inflict unspeacable agony to a let a bunch of old coots who are older than Slaanesh live forever.
    2
  1089. Putting the Orcs against the tyranids is exactly how Inquisitor kryptman got himself in so much trouble. Well I guess it was more the number of Worlds he exterminated to steer the tyranids towards the Orcs but still.
    2
  1090. If you are curious about the animated parts like in the Ork portion, they are from Battlefleet Gothic: Armada (1 and 2). They are pretty good if you want to react to the space warfare of 40k as they introduce each factions and their ships.
    2
  1091. One of the most hilarious Ork weapons is the Shokk Attak Gun; in the previous edition there was a relic version known as the Soopa-Shokka. It fires 2d6 shots (2-12) hitting on 5-6. When seeing if it wounds, it doesn’t have a set strength value, instead you roll another 2d6 to determine it. HOWEVER, if you roll 11 or 12, each shot that HIT deals 1d3 extra damage INSTANTLY. Then, each shot that wounds, does d6 damage. Now combine that with a stratagem for Bad Moons that lets them fire twice, thats 4d6 shots. Combining your extra shots rule with that (known as Dakka Dakka Dakka) you can range from 4 shots, aaaaalll the way up to 48 if you’re real lucky. Provided all those shots wound, and the enemy fails their saves, your damage could range from 48, all the way to 288 damage, plus 144 automatic wounds. - or Mortal Wounds. Thats enough damage to oneshot the strongest unit in the game - the Warlord Titan, and if damage carried over between separate units? Almost 3 of them!
    2
  1092. From an outside gaming point of view Orks are meant to be comic relief but in universe they must be one of the most terrifying things to face
    2
  1093. You nailed the Tyranid vs the imperium. Most recently the Blood Angels chapter exterminatused a swath of planets to slow them down so they didn’t have anything to eat on their way through space.
    2
  1094. Orks constently grow for all there lives. The rate at which they grow is determined by how much fighting and damage they take it seems. More fighting and if they survive grievous wounds they will grow bigger and tougher faster then an ork that experiences less fighting. I think the Idea of why they went from Croks to orks, is that the way they seem to evolve, IE the stronger the enemy they face the stronger they get, is after the war in heaven when they had to face down the Necrons with the C'Tan they had a distinct lack of really strong enemies so they got weaker and weaker over the millenia. (Atleast I think.) As far as Aldari I think they where pretty much the same mindset but less technology so they weren't to the point they where at when Slannesh was birthed. (that took millenia too.) The table top game resolves all combat and anything with variables with dice roles.
    2
  1095. You get news , tactics, weapons, updates and other things. One of the 1st channels I go on. Information is important. ,👍👾
    2
  1096. I think therefore I am!!!
    2
  1097. Vulkan obviously has the biggest, "hammer"
    2
  1098. I've just realised the Orks in 40k take the role of dwarfs in fantasy
    2
  1099. i'm quite surprised about the DKoK talks that much, tbh
    2
  1100. Hey Paul. Could you do watch a few videos by arch warhammer (now called arch). He’s really entertaining and really informative at the same time. I recommend you start with his video on the legion of the damned.
    2
  1101. Just one small piece of criticism. Don't talk during the video. Reserve your comments for after the video. It kind of breaks the immersion if you stop every 20 seconds to talk. Maybe have a discussion section after the video is over where you go over the video again and point out the details you found interesting?
    2
  1102. Since these are Kreigers it could well have been some kind of poison gas grenade. I am also slightly surprised you didnt coment on the whistle.
    2
  1103. "Diggin' the shovel." I see what you did.
    2
  1104. It might have been one, im not sure, but on the tabletop, krieg combat engineers are equipped with poison gas grenades.
    2
  1105. Now just imagine, if Abaddon came to the aid of krieg during the civil war. And gave them a helping hand when the imperium turned it's back on them. Just imagine the entire krieg army now turning to chaos I think the imperium would be boned.
    2
  1106. if i may, whats your name? curious about your mma record :)
    2
  1107. there was one guy, a scotish fella he went into batttle armed wit ha broadsword, a bow and arrow, and a set of bagpipes, he would stop to reload his bow and arrrow mid charge i can't remember if it was ww2 or ww1 his name was chruchill i think, he was a mad bastard, lol he didnt do cover, or modern weapons and would break the bagpipes out in the middle of a gun battle lol
    2
  1108. another knowledgeable pov from a modern combat veteran. hope you react to "deah of hope" as well soon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9wV2sGlXjY
    2
  1109.  @Milk192  that's actually really cool (also admech best faction)
    2
  1110. Thanks!
    2
  1111. They will get into the Tau, and you will need a lenghty explanation of the taulove at that point.
    2
  1112. Hot Topic has been replaced by Spencer’s.
    2
  1113. The thing is, the Emperor is not saying Gods do not exist, merely that they are not deities. In his eyes, they are immensely powerful beings, yes, but not gods, and certainly not worth worship.
    2
  1114. Tau is covered in TTS. All I'm saying is kitten is connected to the plot.
    2
  1115. the reason why imperium needs to do those thing yet paradoxically its against his will, is that unfortunetly BIg Es... plan failed.... hard on its face the moment Horus Heresy reached its end emperor's main plan is gone, it can no longer succed. Its a bit too logn of a discussion to have in comments why but if u want to i can write up some bullet points.
    2
  1116. the emperor does not acknowledge the ruinous powers as being gods, only as powerful beings. And it is dubious if he has actually been in the presence of the ruinous powers since just being around him would start to kill them since he is the anathema and literally destroys the chaos around him just by existing.
    2
  1117. A settlement is a way of talking about little farming villages. Drive through middle America sometime and get off the interstate in favor of some small state roads. You'll see exactly the kind of place Russia claims it has "captured". Hint: This means a post office, a gas station, maybe an auto parts store and possibly a McDonald's. You could probably capture such a place with a biker gang. It's not a strategic achievement at all.
    2
  1118. Orks are a hybrid of something mammal and fungal. Basically symbiotic relationship in their cells.
    2
  1119. 16:09 i've seen more intense videos than this it's pretty tame by my standards
    2
  1120. also i think you will really like season 4 cuz season 4 its about war
    2
  1121. Great Analysis and insight! This was the first time I've heard someone breakdown the clear problems present within the military in Episode 1. Looking forward to future content.
    2
  1122. You should do reactions to Sabaton music/music videos. They make songs about historical battles/wars
    2
  1123. Check out gundam (gundam unicorn and iron blooded orphans are both really good
    2
  1124. I...I don't know what to say about this, you are full of surprises my good sir. I enjoyed this
    2
  1125. https://attackontitan.fandom.com/wiki/Military Minor spoiler, but there are three branches of service in AoT: 1) Military Police with Unicorn on jackets. They take the top recruits, don't really fight and guard the capital. Comparable to "Guard" elite units from some militaries. 2) Garrison with rose on jackets, they watch the walls. 3) Survey Corps with blades on jackets, who only recruit volunteers and go beyond the walls. Those who survive get really good at fighting. Comparable to special forces. This meat grinder helps to get rid of some trouble makers. 4) Training personnel. Everyone is trained at the same facilities and assigned to their branch of service after the final exam. Minor spoiler, but a Garrison sergeant explained to a hyperactive kid that when people see the guards drinking and goofing off, people know things are safe and calm. If the guards started being professional, people would freak out. I get what you're trying to say about sunk cost fallacy, but the transition from wood and sail to steel and steam took decades and wasn't overnight. There were many hybrid vessels along the way, with wooden hull and sails and a steam engine as secondary propulsion. A weapons system does not become useless the moment something better is invented, but only after everyone upgrades a sizeable portion of their stuff. Until then, the obsolete stuff can still somewhat fight other obsolete stuff. If you're doing military anime, you may have some comments on "Youjo Senki - saga of Tanya the Evil" (a mix of WW1 and WW2 with elite units of flying mages, who mostly fight other mages or do CAS) or "86". There is also "GATE", but they went the harem route, not the serious route.

  1128. Nice reaction/review, this is a great anime to watch and discuss, lots of story elements are pretty cool, I would recommend adding some small screenshots as you speak, I saw that you used some screenshots, but fullscreen (of course it is up to you). Also nice insights on the episode, and keep up the good work man, also, if you have time, I would recommend watching Ghost in the shell 1995, it is quite an interesting anime movie, and it is sci-fi, also it is quite interesting to see how the future might have been seen 25 years ago, versus what actually happened now, 25 years after that movie.

  1130. Watch either adeptus mechanicus or an orks video. Just coz there cool

  1131. The Primarchs were never created to be heirs. They were made to be Generals, diplomats, politicians and warriors to help with running the Imperium because of it's immense size. The Emperor was planning on ruling the Imperium indefinitely until the enemies of man were dealt with, and that mankind can look after themselves after he was gone.
    2
  1132. Every space marine legion had a primarch. After the horus heresy, the big Civil war. The legions were split into chapter of 1000 space marines, with some exceptions. So 1000 chapters of 1000 space marines. 1 of each kept the original legion name
    2
  1133. To explain the exterminatus and the bombardment: in 40k you can bomb very precisely, but you usually don't want this because you e.g. MUST recapture an old tank factory, otherwise these tanks can no longer be produced because the technology is lost. Tyranids must be precisely wiped out, as these leave behind spores and break out again like weeds after being torn out. Orcs as well. In addition, the ships have to stand still for bombardments and the orbit is usually just as much a combat zone as the ground. In addition, you have to rethink - the cheapest thing the empire has are human lives - it is better to send 1,000,000 soldiers into battle / death than to run the risk of losing a baneblade, for example (ultra-heavy tank).
    2
  1134. I would recommend you to look into Bricky´s videos, they are a little more on the funnier side, but theres quite a bit of extra information there i think, and they´re really fun to watch. he goes over the Primarchs as well.
    2
  1135. Also the navy is separate from the army
    2
  1136. I think in universe, the major reason orbital bombardment isn't used a much is they don't want to destroy the resources they're there to protect. In reality it's that the books and games would be to short just blowing up your enemy from space!
    2
  1137. Honestly if you're looking for a video with move lore see raven rock entertainment videos
    2
  1138. The Imperium does use Orbital bombardement, its only that there isnt that much use for it generally speaking in most situations. In the cases where an enemy is advanced enough they have large arrays of anti capital ship defensive installtion and their cities , like Imperial ones, may have shielding that easily can shrug off even dedicated bombardement for a long period of time. In case of the Imperium its called Firestorm Nexus,. where around and within cities bunkers and underground silos are located that store large amounts of interplanetary balistic missiles and gigantic laser cannons that are within the defensive shielding network called "voidshields". Meaning its almost sucicide to try and attempt to duell with an planets defensive installations, especially as would also have a navy around them aswell. And even if the attackers would win, the damages and most likely losses inflicted would rarely be worth the effort. As it takes decades and almost and world economy to create these ships. Infact thats a major reason why space battles in 40k only happen when you either: outnumber the enemy by an ridiculess amount, your fleets compossion is the direct counter to that of the enemy or if you have no other choice. Its actually a common occurance on lore that entire battlefleets can fly by and be unmolested because no side had any particual reason to fight or had the advantage to make it worth the effort. More over there is a logistical problem with planetary bombardment, you always are going to tell the enemy that you are about to nuke them. As the weapons are simply to destructive ever sane general would have to pull back their forces which gives the opposing side time to stage and counter attack and get themselves close enough to deter bombardment or risk hitting their own troops. And with an enemy that doesnt have the technology to fight back against space ships there isnt really a point to it most of the time as they wouldnt be advanced enough to be a threat to the Imperium really. Even tho fans and story give much shit to Guardsmen equippment, their standard kit would still be impressive even by our modern standards. Their body armor gives really good protection against most small arms and shrug off rifle rounds most of the time, and the lasgun is depending on the power setting you switch it either a 100 shot rifle or some 50 shot per mag .50cal like weapon. Point being is that orbital bombardement is being used, but its very heavily situationally when you can use it.
    2
  1139. The reason why orbital bombardment isn't used as often as it could be in 40k is because guardsmen lives are considered less valuable than whatever it is they are fighting over. Moreover, void shields that are capable of resisting starship-grade firepower are fairly common. However, orbital bombardment does occur- on the tabletop, Space Marines can call in orbital bombardment once per game, for example.
    2
  1140. Yeah, each primarch had a legion. but after the Horus Heresy it was decreed with the new "Codex Astartes" that all the legions should be split up in chapters, so that no single legion could be strong enough to challenge Terra(i'm simplifying here), and a bunch of other rules. You wanted videos concerning the primarchs, the creation of space marines and other things. I would recommen Brickys "Every single warhammer 40k faction explained" video. it glaces over a lot of things over its almost 2 hours runtime, but you couldn't possibly explain this world comprehensibly in 2 hours. It does however give a decent amount of lore on all the playable factions in the 40k universe. I won't start writing a list of exceptions because it would be long, but still, it's a fun video and Bricky does a good job eplaining the beliefs, origins and workings of a lot of important stuff.
    2
  1141. I don't know how, but somehow major high priority targets get a whole assassinorum kill-team, that's one agent from each temple.
    2
  1142. coffee or recaf as its called in 40k does not actually fuel every military the valhallans drink tanna instead, somekind of tea there is also a regiment that drinks meat soup, but with vodka instead of water the galaxy is a weird place where not everyone is addicted to coffee
    2
  1143. The thing about Eversors is that is not just psychological. They are also augmented as fuck by everything that humanity has to offer. Every biological and technical thing they could do, they do. And they are not build to last so no worries about a warrior that could live for decades they are made to live for a few hours. So every combat drug you can imagine is also in their system, busting their performance to the insane levels of power and speed. They can tear through a few dozens of space marines like wet paper and is very, no VERY hard to kill them. Even the the most powerful aliens and literal demons are noping out when Eversors go postal. So yeah they are fire and forget kill everything nuclear option.

  1144. where SNK 2 O-O

  1145. This video would be a nice segway into the debate about the problems the US is having with recruiting. Many of us on the outside are fond of accusing military leadership of failing to recurit because of wokeness. It would be interesting to hear what you have to say on that topic. I'm sure there are many other factors but is wokeness causing a significant part of the problem in your opinion? Another interesting topic is that of the potential for Russia to exploit the strip of land on the border between Latvia and Poland. It's been suggested the Russia might attempt to open that strip of land which would connect Belarus to Russian controlled territory on the Baltic. The question is, how hard a slog would it be for Russia to open that rout and how hard would it be for Poland and Latvia to stop it.

  1148. Not like the Silent King would rule anything if he stayed since he ordered his people to sleep. Also rulers have abdicated irl so to say that it "would never happen with human beings" is too much. Also also, Assad relinquishing power might be the moral thing to do but at this current point why would he leave power? He is winning.
    2
  1149. The Necrontyr and the Tau share having little to no warp connection. The thing is. They do have souls. But while an Eldar soul is a huge bonfire, a psykic human soul is a small camp fire, a normal (non-psyker) human soul is a candle; a Tau or Necrontyr soul is something along the lines of a match.

  1153. Demonic possession can turn an old arthritic granny into blood-crazed murderer with the strength of 50 men. If anything that execution was underkill , not overkill
    2
  1154. You can check astartes explained, a video going as much in depth as possible, but some of your questions won't be answered because only the creator knows. I'll help you on some of them though.
    2
  1155. Humans do not use robots or AI. Machine spirits are totally not AI, praise be to the Omnissiah. AIs tend to murder the crap out of any creator. My best guess is they recognize any race with significant warp presence as a threat - so not the Tau or Necrons - because Chaos is only a threat to the AI if some pesky organics feed it tons of emotions. And this line of thought probably takes place in a couple milliseconds. On the other hand ... the Machine Spirits of say Titans or Imperial Knights are awful close to AI. And the Mechanicus do employ Castellen Death Robots, plus there is reason to believe STC constructors, possibly installed inside Ark Mechanicuses, are in fact run by fragments of AI. So, maybe the trick is to not have any SANE AI, but only those obsessed with a person, task, or cause.
    2
  1156. so the creator said the "orbs" was an alien creation of his own making the "mine" is probably melta charges incase it gets out of control they can blow it up
    2
  1157. Humans Had powerfull AI, extrem to be frank. (the man of Iron) but AI was aparently easily corruptable by chaos and started a war against (basicly everyone) after that AI was banned (there still exist some though)

  1162. Great vid man! Also nice to see they actually waited for more backup before the search, shows how professional they are. I learned to clear a small vehicle with less than 4 persons with 4 team mates and bigger with a full group of 8. They are very professional and even in the transport of the prisioners they showed their profesionalism

  1164. Without the Heresy SM would probably larely use volkite and plasma weapons.
    2
  1165. The custodes are the custodes. And the space marines are the space marines. The custodes can not be classified as space marines because they are individually too special and unique. Think of it this way would you put guardsmen and space marines in the same category. Another (and more in-depth) example is that in every chapter there is a chapter master (it is the highest rank given to the stongest and bravest of all space marines in that chapter) even he would struggle to fight a custodian, but it is not impossible for him to win as well. Mostly because of plot armor. The custodians in simple terms are perfect in every way. They are philosophers, politicians, artists, advisors, and so much more.

  1166. There's also the creation of a space marine 1hr long and it goes in depth

  1168. the world for the thousnd marines, doesnt often just mean that, it means that there are native people (on most of them) they build a chapel monestary there, BUT there are humans already on there, and it gives each chap[ter a recruitment world. it doenst always mean that its just or them, it just means thats their home base, where they recruit from etc
    2
  1169. 9:45 Yes, the Black Carapace implant, is a 20cm semi translucent organ that is implanted under the skin of the Marines chest, and it grows slowly, to cover his entire body. Its between the Skins and muscles and connectors apears on the thing, like USb ports if you will, that lets a MArine connect Neuraly to his armor. Making the Marine and the Armor one seemless unit, wich allows the marines to get the absolut maximum output of their Power Armors, and having the Armors in turn boosting further the allready formidable natural capabilities of the Marines. But even without a Power Armor, a SPace Marine can still easly, even barehanded kill dozens if not more of foes. Don't forget that they have the strenght of 6-8men, stamina and endurance, thats lets them fight for 72hours straight, nearly impervious to pain, with Blood that clots nearly instantly to avoid blood loss. If they arn't fighting a Chaos Marines, or anything more dangerous, then even naked, there is little that is actually a danger to a Space Marine.
    2
  1170. space marines are directly linked to their armor via the black carapace, it's the last organ that they receive and it's basically an extension of the nervous system. This link combined with the electro fiber-bundles makes the armor "move" with the user enhancing it's strength, speed and precision to further level of non-sense. this link also enable the armor to monitor all the biological function of the marines and provide basic level of medical support, mostly feeding, hydrating and injecting various drugs. I am not sure if the bolter is also linked to the tactical units in the suit Funny fact about "military prowess" according to the big 5 personality model their is a trait called "conscientiousness" and it is highly correlated with military achievement, it also have nothing to do with aggressive behavior. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Five_personality_traits
    2
  1171. To answer your thing on the turning traitor stuff. All the ones who dedicated themselves to a specific god, we’re predisposed to them already. World eaters had a blood thirsty streak, so ended up with Khorne. Thousands Sons did warp stuff, and Tzeetch already claimed them/had plans for them. Emperors children... A bit complicated, but essentially Fulgrim got possessed for a while and corrupted them over time. Death Guard... less so than the others I’d say, but essentially there was a whole thing with Nurgle basically claiming them all at once. Also, not all members of the traitor legions betrayed the imperium. Before the Horus heresy really started, they cleaned house and culled a good chunk of their legions.
    2
  1172. as far as the other part of your tabletop question, right now the top armies are (this is before admech codex has been around enough for us to know how good they are) : - Drukhari - Dark Angels - Death Guard - Adeptus Custodes Before the drukhari codex dropped, the meta was dominated by big beefy bois commanding control of battlefield objectives. Drukhari's 9th edition codex came out, and they're really good and blending those kinds of units, and those army compositions don't do what counters Drukhari, which is immense amounts of upper/mid-strength firepower. Admech is a very shooting focused army, so hopefully they can bring an end to the dominance of drukhari now that their 9th edition codex has been released, and then we will have a metagame where these beefcake armies do poorly into drukhari, drukhari does poorly into admech, and admech does poorly into beefcake armies.

  1173. Eldar don't like dying. They have this crystals they wear that will trap there soul after dying.
    2
  1174. different warbands of chaos marines have different goals, some just want to let the galaxy burn, others still fight the long war against the emperor, some fight to give their chaos god more power, etc. yes the chaos marines do recruit the same as normal marines, they take young boys and train them to be an astartes. the iron warriors even tried to make it faster by 'birthing' astartes, its called daemonculaba, pretty grim. I dont think the emperor called angron, angron, a lot of primarchs got their names given by the people of the planet they ended up on. not 100% on this one tho, alpharius just knew his name was alpharius from the first time he opened his eyes, for example. Horus is 101% dead, yes. he got cloned (a few times even i think) but the clone(s) did not have the primarch vibe, just the body. I dont think the necrons 'killed' any gods, they enslaved gods and shattered them but not outright kill. Unless you mean the old ones but I dont think they are confirmed to be gods. on the topic of balance on the tabletop, yes drukhari (dark eldar) are very strong right now but that will change. other strong factions are space marines, chaos daemons, death guard, weaker factions include imperial and chaos knights, tau, tyranids. basically new codexes > old codexes, but honestly thats mostly for the competative side, if you're just playing with friends it balanced enough.

  1186. So you got the robot story wrong. the Three Laws were that 1) A robot can not allow harm come to a human. 2) A robot must protect itself unless it goes against the 1st law. 3) A robot must follow all orders given to it unless it goes against the 1st law. So the story happens that the element effects both humans and robots, so they order the robot to get but it basically stop itself because of law 2 & 3 were playing in it's programming. One of the workers goes in to help the robot but fainted cause the robot to focus on saving the human instead of slowly killing itself figuring out what to do.

  1189. Jerusalem and the general Israeli area as theres never been an actual Palestinian state. It's a legal fiction by the british to help group that people while under their rule whereas there have been independent states called Israel in the area. Fun fact Palestine as a word is actually a mispronunciation of philistine because the Roman's wanted to insult the Jews after a rebellion by naming their land under the roman empire after their ancient enemy.

  1197. To be fair, 40K tech may be in decline but anyone using parachute in that day and age is literally suicidal as advance turrets and missiles can snipe them out of the air easily, not to mention having the power armor weight them down. The reason Space Marines uses Drop Pods is primarily to circumvent that, by using a heavily reinforced and rocket propelled pod to bypass the AA defenses, I think they can also strip off layers of it burning hot armors after re-entry to act as make-shift flares too. Also, Templin Institute also made a vid for Lord Commander Dante of the Blood Angel, so it worth a watch as he is very important to the chapter and the wider lore.
    2
  1198. That duality is expressed. All the sculpture and filigree on their armour is created by the warrior within the suit.

  1199. Sounds like you would appreciate a cold calculated style of space marines. Sounds like iron warriors to me
    2
  1200. Regarding the art stuff, I remember from old lore that Blood Angels are the longest-lived of all space marines (if not killed in battle), and unlike most chapters who spend their downtime largely in training or prayer (or both at once), the Blood Angels spend their downtime in scholarly pursuits, or acts of charity, or the creation of art. But unlike the samurai, who did it to be well-rounded people, the Blood Angels do it to hold the Red Thirst and Black Rage at bay. Believing that by emulating their Primarch, they can perhaps eventually free themselves. Mind you, Sanguinius was far from a pacifist. One of the first things he did on Baal was to utterly annihilate a group of bandits /by hurling lightning at them from the sky/, enraged by them attacking a child.

  1209. To echo the Grey Knights answer probably shouted from all the replies: 1) Grey Knights are their own unique chapter of Space Marines with a semi-unclear origin. 2) Grey Knights serve directly under the Inquisition so closely that they are often treated as if they themselves were the Inquisition, even by fans. 3) Grey Knights are Lore Badasses but between rulebook writer Matt Ward's OP rules and subsequent rules Nerfs they are simultaneously hated by fans qnd loved by those same fans.

  1210. Effectively the admech is the equivalent of a library burning down, being rebuilt and being burned down again and everything they know and understand comes from some guys memory of the things including the quirks and rituals. Doubled up with the passage of time the weird rituals then became the teaching method. Oh and the influence of a C'tan called the Void Dragon being buried on Mars.
    2
  1211. Such a wholesome video / comment section. Is he a youtuber that actually means "i care what you think" "explain it in the comments" when he says it? Thumbs up
    2
  1212. I've always read the ritualistic nature of the Adeptus Mechanicucs being that they don't understand the technology but have a step by step ritual to re-load, start and maintain your gear. It's that they've ritualised field manuals etc. Machine Spirit is simply a word for computer or AI that they don't understand. One thing the video fails to mention is the STC (standard template construct) a device that allows the imperium to manufacture items from the "Dark Age of Technology" without ever understanding the items or the production
    2
  1213. To clarify, Servitors and other machinery created using parts of the human brain as a CPU are not Machine Spirits. A Machine Spirit is either a rudimentary AI in the machine that handles its operations, or a legitimately supernatural entity that either resides in or affects the machine's performance. To demonstrate, a gun with no advanced programming of any sort possesses a Machine Spirit. Ordinarily, simple routine maintenance of the weapon itself will appease it, but the Machine Spirit may become upset if you do not occasionally perform certain rites, such as offering a prayer or lighting incense if you disassemble and reassemble the gun. When this happens, regardless of the condition of the gun, it can misbehave in various ways, such as jamming, continuing to fire after letting go of the trigger, firing by itself, missing shots, or just spontaneously exploding. By our reckoning, these would just be excuses or simple bad luck, and the rituals are just a way to explain to the illiterate masses why they need to perform maintenance, and there is some truth to that assertion, but in Warhammer, these superstitious beliefs have more merit. Case in point, Space Marine Land Raiders are known to have very active Machine Spirits. The Black Templars often report that their Land Raiders will drive off by themselves and engage the enemy whilst the Templars are in the middle of pre-battle prayers. In another case, a Land Raider continued to fight on against a mob of Orks after its crew had been killed. When its guns inevitably ran out of ammo, it continued to run over Orks until it ran out of fuel, then it threw open its doors and allowed the Orks to swarm on it before detonating its own engines and self-destructing. This would make you think that the Land Raider is simply an advanced piece of machinery with an AI in it. However, while the Land Raider does have some automated systems, none of these systems should be physically capable of operating without manual input from a human crew; the guns should not be able to move, target, or fire without an operator, the vehicle should not be able to move without a driver at the controls, the doors should not be able to open and close by themselves and often lack any kind of electronic device that would allow them to be opened remotely, and the engine should not have any kind of built-in self destruct mechanism. All of these details support the existence of some supernatural element to machinery in Warhammer, which is colloquially referred to as the Machine Spirit. The Machine Spirit is not actually the Machine God or Omnissiah, but it is generally regarded that the Machine Spirit is an extension of the Omnissiah's will that exists within the machine and allows it to function. This is of course a gross simplification, but it essentially boils down to 'it's techno-magic, so just roll with it'.

  1214. I feel the need to add this, because it seems relevant both for the characterisation of the Grey Knights and the Emperor as well. "One unbreakable shield against the coming darkness, One last blade forged in defiance of fate, Let them be my legacy to the galaxy I conquered, And my final gift to the species I failed." – Inscription upon the Arcus Daemonica, attributed to the God-Emperor of Mankind The Arcus Daemonica is a book that every Grey Knight carries with him, even into battle. I think this quote attributed to the Emperor is a very important insight into his mind. The foundation for the Grey Knights was laid long after the Horus Heresy started. What Grey Knights do, in essence, is use the Warp against itself... fighting fire with fire. Contrast this to the much older Adeptus Custodes and Sisters of Silence. The Custodes don't have any Psykers or even just anything related to the Warp in their arsenal... in fact, it's one of their few weaknesses as a faction. This is why they are supposed to act in concert with the Sisters of Silence, which are all Nulls. So, what do the Custodes/SoS do? They deny the Warp, made for a future where no Daemons are supposed to exist... the opposite of the Grey Knights. If this quote is actually the Emperor's, then we know that he realised that his official plan of denying the Chaos Gods alltogether and thus starving them and calming the Warp again, had failed. Ordering Malcador to lay the foundation for what would become the Inquisition and the Grey Knights is thus a heavy indicator for Big E having NOT anticipated the Horus Heresy. Which is a popular theory, because everyone should be able to see that some of Primarchs, especially Angron, should NOT be put in command of a Space Marine Legion. How Big E treated some of them, being basically an absentee Father, and his many obvious errors in judgement that could have prevented the fall of Mortarion, Angron, Perturabo maybe even Konrad Kurze... it's no wonder that this theory about Big E orchestrating the whole Heresy, it all being part of his big plan, is so popular.

  1215. Isaac Asimovs The Foundation Series is a great dissection of how humanity might one day loose ready access to information, like the Adeptas Mechanicus , and was probably a heavy influence on 40k overall. Like just read the wiki page it might as well be a synonym for 40k

  1221. In parts 1-3 we see the staggering difference between normal humans and the heavily armored, heavily augmented, heavily armed an highly trained astartes. It is punishing, it is unfair... and the astartes, as mighty as they are, are still only lower middle power level in this universe. Warhammer 40k really lives the 'there's always a bigger fish' trope. Edit: something I want to point out us that the space marine suits are equipped with high level auspex sensors which pick up miniscule sounds like heartbeats and movement. So an ambush on astartes is... difficult. See the guy that was knifed while not even past the corner for example of this. Also great example is in the Death Korps of Krieg video from Sodaz.

  1222. Not an inconsistency. If they High Lords tried to completely disband the armed forces of the church then it would kick off a civil war across the entire imperium. It’s basically the church saying we’ll only have a small force of soldiers and the High Lords agreed. Otherwise the Church would declare the High Lords and Imperial government Corrupt and Heretics. Then millions of civilians on almost every single imperial world would rise up, including the Planetary Defense Forces and even some Guard Regiments. They basically refused to completely disarm but gave the High Lords a fig leaf to say that the Church is under their control. It’s a lot like the Imperium Government and the Adeptus Mechanicus. A power struggle that is kept relatively quiet so that the regular people feel safer.

  1226. The Costudes, as well as the Space Marines, are all male because the procedures used to make them only works on men. The Sisters of Battle are all women because the are part of the Ecclesiarchy, which by law, cannot have men in their armed forces. Blanks can be male or female.
    2
  1227. One thing regarding the female assassins. It is mentioned on one of the books from the "Beast Arises" series how several of the female operatives have surgeries and gene therapy in order to get sexier bodies. Experiences have shown that male bodyguards tend to hesitate for an extra second with shooting their guns as they see that beautiful female rush in. And they also use their good looks to bypass security and gather information. puppy eyes and a soft kiss on the cheek "Ahh, can't you just let me in so I can pick up that thing I forgot? Aww, thank you dear..."

  1228. Knights and Titans use neural interfaces that convert information from the mech into sensory input for the pilot(s). You can feel the "tingle" of the gun being ready to fire, feat in your arm as the barrells heat up, etc. It gets into gray areas pretty fast as to how it all works but I'd bet that's a major part of the bipedal designs, especially at smaller scale like Imperial Knights and Warhound Titans. In larger Titans there is at least one and sometimes more crew members assigned just to managing the walking and keeping it balanced. Arch has some good videos on it Titans: https://youtu.be/fqhpn-aF0eY Imperial Knights: https://youtu.be/eZsOtbz8pbw Also, have you seen his different series on specific conflicts? I think you'd like em. This is the Sec...ahem...First War for Armageddon: https://youtu.be/16QhgvhXtAk

  1232. I see the Imperium as more of a space Iran, the government and the official state religion are so intermarried that it's nearly impossible to determine where one ends and the other begins, and only the official state religion is allowed, all others are stamped out. The whole masculine ideal begins and ends with the Custodes, the Primarch and the space marines. The sisters of silence form one half of an elite fighting force that serves as the Emperor's personal bodyguards and carries out his personal will. The sisters of battle serve as the military arm of the Ecclesiarchy, because of an odd loophole that forbids men from being in their fighting force. Men and women, both baseline humans and abhumans make up the entire rest of everything. None of this disproves the Imperium as being fascist, but I personally take it more as a humano-centric totalitarian religious ethno-state, basically a space Iran or a space North Korea.

  1233. Comments for the Algorithm

  1234. Dude well done for such a concise and easy to follow video. You've made very good definition of the term fascism (which is very subjective) then asked the community if the imperium seems fascistic to us. I agree that the imperium is fascistic. And I think space fascist is the best label for it. On a personal level I'm not going to watch arch's video. I don't like him as a person and I think he has an agenda. He also comes across as very defensive and mocks other people's opinions, especially if they don't align with his own views. Even games workshop don't want to be associated with him and requested he remove the "Warhammer" from his name. I personally won't engage with him. Watch major kill instead at least he has a sense of humour.
    2
  1235. Do you think imperium is fascist because universe they live in? "Tau are not communist"? They seem to be like chinese communist.... although I am not very well versed in tau lore
    2
  1236. I don't know about Facist. I always considered it to be a Space Feudalism myself
    2
  1237. I hope there is an upcoming video on gender roles in war hammer 40k.
    2
  1238. Authoritarian, Militaristic Xenophobes, so yeah. I like the quote about Fascism being essentially an immune reaction to a threat. There was also a quote that even otherwise benevolent governments will resort to villainous things when desperate.
    2
  1239. Well being accepting of other species (to a degree) and wanting peace (with significant self defense capability) is doable (Tau do both, thought Tau are first among equals). As is secularism (also Tau, and Crusade era Imperium). Democracy on the Galactic scale would be impossible however. Too much travel time, too slow communication.
    2
  1240. This looks to me like a very good and brief analysis of something controversial to say the least that will never stop to be debated as long as there are people whose interests are invested in authoritarian rule. As an italian whose grandmother was born and grew up under fascism, I would like to offer my 2 cents, along with my apologies for the wall of text. Let me start with a disclaimer: I'm not a fascist and I do not support in any way the nationalist, authoritarian, autocratic and totalitarian ideology that characterizes fascism. Any good thing that can be said about italian fascism while still being objective, is about historical accuracy. Because yes, Mussolini wasn't an evil overlord from a fantasy book that used to indulge with human sacrifices and torture for the mere pleasure of it. But yeah, he was a narcisistic, power hungry lunatic that used to indulge with torture and physical eliminations as means to suppress dissent, not to mention the hypocrisy. Also, he was a political leader in the real world, and he wouldn't have lasted as long as he did if he couldn't manage to bag some achievements for the good of society. Repression of dissent alone can't get you very far, to survive the political stage you need all the support you can get. Interesting facts: - The term "facism" comes from the name of the political movement founded in 1919, which in turn takes the name from, in short, a "caste" of dudes employed in the early roman empire for security. "Fascio" in english translates as "bundle", and in this context represents the supreme power of "ius vitae necisque" (the right of life and death). - Mussolini rose to power as a leader of the socialist party, and yes, it had a socialist component. But evolved very quickly in using violence as method to silence opponents, which is not socialist at all. - The Italian law defines as a crime "speaking in defense of representatives, principles, facts, or methods of fascism, or its antidemocratic goals". That could be punished with a period of detention from six months to two years. Ironically enough, that's how badly Italy doesn't want to see anything even remotely related to fascism, at least on paper. Another thing I would like to report is the account I was able to get from my grandmother. I never had a great relation with her and I even remember hating her when I was a little kid. She had all the traits that you would expect from a person brainwashed since childhood by fascist propaganda. She was very narrow minded with an authoritarian mindset and I had to grow up as an adult to realize that deep down she was essentially a good person. She was a true racist but also a devote catholic, and she never abstained from doing charity to poor people of different etnicities, which is in my opinion her greatest contradiction, around which I still can't wrap my head. Seriously, you wouldn't believe how she described her feelings about coloured people. This is one of the reason why I find terrifying how an ideology can twist a person. She always defended fascism, but she had her reasons. She grew up in real poverty, going-hungry level of poverty, and by her account fascism lifted the conditions of her family from the direst situation. It provided bread when there wasn't. And a place to be commended, all she had to do was to walk in line as she was told, never think, never criticize. Also she was a woman victim of the fascist ideology and all the responsibilities were dumped on her back, result being she and her mother were the ones doing all the work in the family with no thanks for anything because "it was due", while her father and her brothers enjoyed the service, and she claimed proudly that she never complained it (but with me she did complain about it, because with me she could talk freely). She never spoke about it with me, but I knkow for a fact that self-proclaimed fascists were (and I think still are) in many cases just authoritarian guys who enjoyed their position of authority because it allowed them to get away with all sorts of abuses, rape to name one. Final chapter. About hypocrisy, propaganda, totalitarian ideology and practical reality. - Not-so-fun fact: in 1924 the fascist party started an iron fist campaign in the south to repress organized crime activity (aka mafia). Not long after that, representatives of these organizations went hiding and started to infiltrate the political stage (or to emigrate to the US). As a result, the iron fist was replaced by a live and let live philosophy. And the means of the organizations were just added to the repressive machine of the fascist government. - In my experience there are still a lot of people that see fascism as a viable way to "make Italy great again", but the interesting fact is that most of them aren't really fascist, they just took the term and made it theirs because that's where the education they received led them. When I was still in school, some of my classmates used to bring up political arguments based on what they heard and repeat like parrots points taught to them. And I had a difficult time to understand what they were trying to say. If confronted with a polite conversation without labels, it didn't take much to prove that their actual views were very far from what they proclaimed initially. And that's basically why I hate with all myself the use of propaganda as a mean of manipulation to confuse and align people to values that are not really theirs. It assigns them to a team, regardless if they fit or not. - Fascism vs communism: two faces of the same §hit. I'm not an historian, so keep in mind that this is just my opinion based on what I know. But bear with me for a minute, I'll try to make it as simple as I can. The first is a political movement with an ideology behind it, the second is an ideology (with many variants) that gave birth to various political movements. For the sake of this argument, brevity and simplicity, let's group together the two things: political movement with an ideology behind it. For communism I will refer to the most classic examples of it: the Soviet Union and Mao's China. I know they're not the same, but for the sake of this argument, they are. Let's see if there are any significant statement that applies to both: - On paper, the ideology behind it sounds good: it's meant to make society better, and make life better for the people. -check - In practice, the political movement ends up in a totalitarian regime that hangs on to power with no shame in using brutal means to suppress dissent, and there is one person that raises to the role of the supreme leader. Role that usually last for the rest of his life. -check - So, what's the point? The point is: the root of all evil is ignorance paired with human nature. When left unchecked, in most cases, leaders and politicians will just pursue their own goals even when completely detached from the reality of the responsibility of their role, even when it's evident that they're fueled by delusions of grandeur. Which is why democracy, with all its faults, is the best thing we have around to ensure at least to some extent that everybody is represented and considered.

  1241. Nah, Facism is not an immune system reaction: protest is. Facism is an infection.

  1242. The Emperor was interested in the betterment of humanity, even if it meant working with xenos, if a xenos race was willing to ally with the Imperium and not fuck with them, then the Emperor doesn't really care. If a xenos would threaten them however, the Emperor would crush them without a second thought
    2
  1243. The Emperor probably wasnt 'xenophobic' in so far he probably didnt hate aliens but sees them as competition. Evolutional rivals to the rise of humanity, its only natural each race would work to their own ends to advance their own species and only one can be 'on top' and his goal is for humanity to be that top player.
    2
  1244. There were several guys who had hair, but the implants in perturabo and angron's brains probably meant they had to shave it off.
    2
  1245. Baldness: If you look at most of the pictures of bald dudes, they usually have a few (dozen) cables and tubes going into their head. Hair tends to be sub-optimal for that. Also it is a bitch to draw the cables and tubes and THEN draw hair as well and make it work so both hair and cables/tubes look cool. Gotta look badass after all.
    2
  1246. Can't wait for your reaction the imperial guard, its not their tactics that make them formidable but the sheer number humans they can send out and replace. A regiment could be annihilated 10x over and the Imperium would have 20x the replacements for it.
    2
  1247. Well aliens serve their own interests and the 20,000 years of attempts to live peacefully with aliens, ended up with large portions of humanity wiped out or enslaved. That was during the dark age of technology, the collapse of humanities greatest and most prosperous age. As for the Emperor, he can revive the dead. It's another ability of his, saint celestine for example has died countless times but is revived each time to carry on the fight.
    2
  1248. I was looking forward to your reaction to this.

  1250. How the Emperor came to be is actually really interesting. So, the "Warp" or "Immaterium" that people reference (this magical plane of existence that is parallel to the normal one) used to be called "The Realm of Souls". This is because everything that exists in the Warp is created by the conscious and subconscious thoughts/emotions of ALL living creatures. A long... LONG ass time ago (back when humans were still purely a tribal society) there were these Shamans. The Shamans were what we know today as "Psykers" (beings who have a strong connection to the Warp and can use the power of their souls to change reality). The Shamans were having a hard time defending young humanity against the horrors of the warp (rogue Shamans, demons, other warp predators etc)- so they came up with a plan.. They gathered as many Shamans as they could find and convince into a single place and prepared a ritual. This ritual would cause all of them to die together and be reborn as a SINGLE SOUL. This soul singularity would contain all of their wisdom and power, and would be strong enough to protect all of humanity from the dangers of the warp. That soul singularity is the Emperor of Mankind. He has watched over humanity for many thousands of years- subtly influencing us and leading us from the shadows. Until finally the time was right for him to reveal himself to humanity and claim his rightful place as our leader. It is important to remember that The Emperor never wanted to be worshipped. He is a man of science first and foremost- and actually banned all old religions and replaced them with The Imperial Truth (an atheist, rationalist, materialist philosophy). It was only AFTER his defeat, and being shackled to the golden throne, that the Imperium went into full PANIC mode and started worshipping him as a God. Many of the things currently happening in the Imperium are not what he wanted.. and our hope, as loyalist players, is that he will one day be resurrected and return the Imperium to its former glory.

  1254. ADEPTUS ARBITES = Judge Dredds on steroids :) Basically most branches of Imperial administration are an "Adeptus something" and the Arbites is the law-enforcing-public-service-thank-you-very-much-and-have-a-nice-day-citizen. Basically, the cops, except that they have all authority to judge and apply the sentences in the streets. Standard Arbites troopers are called "arbitrators".
    2
  1255. The thing with the Emperor and not wanting to be a god is simple: the Warp. In the Warp, everything is taken to its absolute extreme in order to feed the Gods (thanks Eldar!), and as the Emperor’s ultimate goal is the destruction of Chaos, a religion based around him would - ironically - create a Chaos God of Unbelief, Purity, and Order. And what would be considered pure to a God that is purpose-built to fight belief and emotion? The utter annihilation of both.

  1256. Would like to see this channel test with TF2 SFM's, since we already got some SFM's here. (Meet the team first, if we do)

  1257. Think of the Adeptus Arbites as a police force of Judge Dredd's. All of them. And they're on most planets with cities big enough to warrant them.

    2
  1262. So fun thing about the lack of unity of command. It’s done on purpose. Ever since the Horus heresy, and the whole risk of chaos corruption thing, the imperium decided that it was better to keep things disunited to limit the damage that a high ranking traitor could do. For this same reason they don’t have mixed units. Artillery are kept separate from armored units, are kept separate from infantry, are kept separate from air support.

  1263. Grimaldus appealing to her honor and given oath was a sound decisions. Princeps need to be extremely proud and prideful, particularly for the larger titans, so that they can wrestle for control of the titan. In her shame the princeps essentially lost control and was sucked into the machine spirit, which is also made up of the imprints of all the former pilots. By overcoming that shame and finding resolve she was able to gain control once more. And regarding on removing the weapon from the wound, astartes have pretty much instantly clotting blood for exactly that purpose. Also appreciate your comments on doing favours. Hopefully that messages reaches more people.

  1275. So there are a few arms the guard carry that would be effective against space marine armor, hotshot lasguns these guns rely on external power packs usually carried on the back, they have Melta guns a anti tank heat weapon it would easily vaporize a space marine but they have a short range and wide burst there is also plasma guns these temperamental weapons would easily go through armor but if they overheat they explode so many guardsmen don't really want to carry them. They do have crew served bolter guns but its far more likely to find a guard unit outfitted with crewed lascannons, autoguns or multilas, las cannons fire extremely slow but can take out a tank if they hit it right, autoguns are essentially small tank cannons faster than the lascannon but still slow, and then there's the multilas it shoots alot of rounds really fast if it can concentrate fire on a space marine long enough itll go through as for grenades they do have 2 that would work the Krak and Melta grenades.
    2
  1276. These are the Iron Warriors, arch nemesis of the Imperial Fists. Siege vs Fortification. Iron Warriors are Chaos, who love to blow buildings up, and the Imperial Fists are Loyalists, who defended the Holy Palace so well it was never breached in the Heresy. You dare criticize the Lascannon crew! That guardsman gave his life to pierce and disable the Dreadnought which tore down Space Marines (on the tabletop, a Bolter does 1 damage, a lasgun does 1 damage, the difference is strength (how effective they are to wound), 3 for the Lasgun, 4 for Bolters, 7 for Plasma (the pistol he fired at the end, 8 if you overcharge and run the risk of blowing yourself up). There were only about 5 guardsmen at the line and 2 running the Lascannon. 12 shots, on average not a dead space marine. But a squad of 10, 20 shots, that's probably 1 dead on average. That sounds bad, but really, considering those are Space Marines, that's pretty good. Now, a Lascannon dead d6 damage, as in anywhere betweem 1 and 6 damage. It's a anti-tank weapon. If you want anti Space Marine go Plasma gun overcharging. Run the risk of self destruction, but damage 2 (Space Marines have 2 wounds) rapid fire (double shots within half range, same as lasgun). The issue is its expensive and dangerous because, you know, ancient tech). The grenade for killing Marines is called a Krak Grenade, d3 damage, or you can try a Frag for d6 shots but 1 damage (3 strength for frag, 6 I think for Krak). The Imperium has the chance to, issue is, the lasgun works more often than not if you have commanding officers (suspiciously absent at this defense) for extra shots, more accuracy, more accurate wounds, ect.
    2
  1277. In the imperium the space marines and imperial guard don't meld well together for multiple reasons. 1 because the imperial guard are a part of the imperial cult and view the emporer as a god. And the space marines, we'll most of them the imperial fists included follow the imperial creed and see the emporer more like a father figure. 2. The space marines will always outpace the guard and leave them behind as they can serve 24/7. 3. Politics, as the generals of the astra militarum tends to be independent of the space marines to maintain their power and independence of the marines. 4. The horus heresy was so bad because horus had command of what was the imperial guard and space marines all at once so they don't serve together too often to keep another horus heresy from happening.
    2
  1278. Twin-linked heavy bolter weapons are a thing! Also, it should be noted that space marines and especially dreadnoughts are very few in number relative to Imperial Guardsmen. Space Marines are usually countered with Space Marines, while Guardsmen are meant to deal with the much more numerous, and equivalent in armament and power, chaos human auxiliaries. Most guardsmen and their weapons wouldn't see a Chaos space marine or dreadnought without their own Space Marines to back them up. At least that's the impression I get from the novels. Imperial Guardsmen always freak out whenever Chaos Space Marines appear on scene, because they're so few in number that their presence usually means that particular fight is important to some spooky bigshot with lots of spikes on his shoulders.
    2
  1279. Las cannons are not ineffective against dreadnoughts the guardsmen just missed and hit the most durable part and it did knock the venerable machine down long enough for the captain the one with the thunder hammer to get in and attack. Now Lasguns are not effective against space marines or hard targets but against soft targets it is very good at putting them down because the lag gun blast causes mini explosions as the heat boils the blood of there target.

  1287. The lazcannon is an antitank weapon meant to long range support the real question is more why did they put that inside. If you watch closely the first iron warrior to pass the gate just disappeared from the shot he received. The "hammer" by the look of it looks like a heavy thunder hammer, it's a molecular disruption field combine with an energy blast discharge on impact, it basically create a weakness in any solid material at the same time as its sending a shockwave through the target

  1288. Wow, I am surprised how many decided to "unsub". You seem to have a lot of followers that only see the world in black or white. I think you did a great job explaining the gray matter in between. I in no way understood your appraisal of the situation as smearing Walz. You gave him a grade of about 97% after Vance tried to give him a grade of about 20%. Who is bothered about a blemish of 3% when compared to the dirt they find on other candidates. I suspect, that none of your followers that "unsubed" watched your vlog to the end.

  1292. Flashlight = Lasrifle -> Imperial Guard. Check out the Channel Adeptus Ridiculous (it is Bricky again). There is an episode about the age of apostasy: Goge (they call him Doge *gg*) was a pretty selfish, crazy and evil guy at the top of the imperium and took full control. When they discovered the planet where the Sisters originate from, he tricked them into believing into him and becoming his body guard (and whatever else he wanted). One of them is shown here and she actually kills him with the exact same speech after recognizing what he was. She is a saint now in 40k and available as a tabletop model as well ("The Triumph of Saint Katherine" - check it out, it is special).

  1300. You did well in pointing out many things I didn't even consider when I watched the original trailer, like the possibly 'deterred cars' at the gas station. But honestly people I saw in the comments agree that the trailer wasn't very well made "script-wise". You see people blasting their rifles on full auto against lone individuals who could've been taken down with single fire (doesn't take a soldier to figure this out, plus the ammo conservation thing), you see people oddly leave their cars somewhere and break in while leaving a high paper trail should the owners come back. Then you see them possibly respond to an alarm of their base, possibly a totally random group, possibly yes, even the cops appear to a possible break in and... they blast their sirens. It doesn't even make sense whether it's a stolen cop car or actually police, especially if you consider the reinforcement on the windows that implies that someone must've been smart enough to understand in what apocalypse they are in and they reinforced their car - and yet they roll up to an open area where infected or anyone could hide in the bushes while blasting sirens and lights. AND KEEP THEM ON instead of turning them off upon arrival. Only for the "burglars" or looters to run into some unknown bunker to hide where they'd be likely caught by whoever came to either loot or go back to their base and investigate it. As stated, great reaction and pointing out things from a military/survival perspective, but sadly you didn't get the best material to react to. I hope they mind a few things in their next trailer :D

  1302. Feral worlds are not only a tech level assessment but can also indicate just how hazardous the eco system is. One thing beginners with experience tend to forget or have a hard time wrapping their brains around is the Idea that survival is optional in this setting, casualties often mean death and Astartes are no different. The main scale that gauges power is the amount of death for victory. I recommend Cassius by Ben Counter if you want to read the mindset of what a chaplain (in this case Ultramarine) mentality and general thought process of the price of victory in this setting. For only in death does duty end is not just a quote but considering the imperium is fighting for it's survival this is also a mission statement. Long lived or not survival is not rated or guaranteed, do not get me wrong the chapters would prefer to survive, but if a sacrifice is needed to defeat the emperor's foes then so be it. Almost comparable to the stand Canada made at Ypres or kuypong ridge in Korea (I probably misspelled the name of the ridge the PPCLI held) just grander scale where it is not just countries but hole worlds to even segmentum hanging in the balance.

  1303. 9:16 Mortarion in the nutshell
    2
  1304. next part answers a few of your questions
    2
  1305. Feral means that the population there has deteriorated into basically hunter gatherers with no central authority. It's wahts great about 40k. Mad Max worlds, medieval worlds can exist in the same universe as cyberpunk dystopias or even worlds that function similar to ours
    2
  1306. 3:30 About killing your group as astartes aspirant: basically, this is about teamwork vs individuals and self-sacrifice vs traitorous. If only one can survive (which can be define as this, not the last killer of teammates), this means next: Or you hunt in team and then you decide the victor (to show your loyalty to purpose, not your survival or desire)/ fight in last stage (to show your respect towards oaths and honor of servant of the Emperor), or the natural selection in this mission just too high and you must adapt your mates behavior and tactics to the situational conditions and obtain your targer at cost of your effective sacrefices, what should be marked by Astartes. + This shows the adaptivenass of aspirant in socially harsh environment of tough and unknown individuals with the same targets but different approach. That is good for learning others experience in action and even show your infiltration or leadership skills (because astartes also have "some" agents within the other chapters or organisations like Deathwatch). Alpha-Legion did nothing wrong.

  1308. The lower nid bioforms need to be within the range of a synapse creature for the hive mind to control them, if they aren't they revert to instincts which can sometimes end up having them fight each other funnily enough
    2
  1309. Yes it is same guy who did Helsreach... BTW guy is from Canadian Army
    2
  1310. Tyranids work kind of like a wifi network. Individual creatures need to be in range of hive mind "nodes" for it to take over, usually the big tyrant prince or zoanthropes or other psychic bug. if they are not under the hive mind control they revert to default "instinctive behavior" and sometime that behavior can be "hide in the shadow". the hive mind also kind of behave like a normal mind where it can focus or be distracted, so it can be fooled up to some degree. bonus fact : the space marines is from the Angel of vengeance , a dark angel successor.
    2
  1311. ok, how do time work inside the warp... in short: it does not, what you would call, "function". if you go through the warp (presumably to travel long distance): - you can have the same time elapsed in and out of the warp. - you could land in the far future, couple year or several thousand. - you could go back in time - you could come out of the warp at the exact same point where you entered in real space, but the ship and its inhabitant would be a thousand year older. two side story here: - a traitor astarte ask another how much time have pass for him since the heresy (10,000 years ago). his anwser: about 300 years from his perspective. less than some (50,000+), but more than most. - once upon a time, an ork had a gun that he loved really, really, really much. One day for some dumb reasons (cuz ork), he happenned to travel back into time and met a younger version of himself with his favourite gun. in typical ork fashion, that guy killed his youger self and grabbed his gun... wich he now had two of those... AND THERE WAS NO NEGATIVE REPERCUSSION FROM THAT! Him killing himself in the past did not violate the natural law of our universe enough that said universe thought that it should make some correction there in order to keep making sense... think about that when you wonder how time work in 40k!!!
    2
  1312. So a thing to note is that the DKoK is based on the French as well as German soilders during ww1 especially Verdun. Just asceticly . Not tactically . There is a good lore video by A Border prince that is basically the rejects being used in living targets
    2
  1313. The reason the Death Korps of Krieg wear gas masks is to hide a 16-year-old killing you with a shovel because when they are born the go-to training and when they are ready they go to the battlefield doesn't matter how old they are, But with the horses, I don't know why they wear gas masks.
    2
  1314. Death riders of krieg: a variation of imperial rough riders found on feudal worlds, the death korps of krieg uses this strategy to an enhanced level. Rough riders use genetically modified and purpose bred mounts designed to be faster and stronger than any earth-borne horse. The lances they're using are tipped with explosives designed to detonate on impact with heavy armor. The death korps itself is the regiment provided by the hive/death world krieg. Each soldier is vat grown, raised from birth to be a soldier and believes that because of the rebellion that reduced the surface of their homeworld to a nuclear wasteland, the descendants must forever atone. They do not fear death, they are death.
    2
  1315. Kriege Horses seems to be Genetically enhanced so they may take some punch?
    2
  1316. the death korp of krieg world known as krieg is nothing more but a nuclear Wasteland do to krieg Civil War and well do to that all krieg guardsmen don't take off their gasmask but is also do to krieg guardmen being teenages
    2
  1317. The masks are a Krieg thing, there home planet is rather unpleasant Edit:If you see someone in the death korps with good equipment, they’re a spy
    2
  1318. Have you seen astartes fan film?
    2
  1319. The Astartes did not use "small arms fire". Think of a Barrett M107. A .50 cal semi-auto sniper rifle. The bolter-gun that the Dark Angel fired is a .75 cal weapon imbedded with a micro-explosive that detonates a fraction after impact. On another note, the Astartes do not actually need to use hand signals to carry out orders. Every Astartes helm is set with a vox-device that can carry verbal orders to all with the availability to pick up such commands. The thing with the Imperial Guard, is that they do not carry individual vox-units like all Astartes. They have to rely on vox-casters, which one man per squad would be issued with. Think old school back carried units with a headset and vocal-bead. The reason why the Death Korps wear masks, is because they are used to fighting in the harshest places imaginable. Places that are soaked in poison and radiated isotopes that make Sarin gas seem like merely a bad smell. I guess it's kinda become a second skin to them.
    2
  1320. The Death Korps of Krieg is actually based on a mix of German and French WW1 equipment. The Helmets, gas masks and grenades are German, while the Trenchcoats and backpacks are French. Astartes and Tanks would each have a radio, while infantry units would normally only have one radio per platoon, similar to WW2 or Vietnam only elite units would be issued personal coms. The cavalry charge is a specialty of the Korps and a little bit over the top. On the other hand those Death Riders carry explosive tipped hunting lances specially designed to work against light armoured vehicles and power armour like space marines wear it. And in 40k in general a vibro or power close combat weapon might be more effective than a lasgun. The bundled up grenade was actually a relatively common improvised anti-tank device used in WW1 and 2. Because a single grenade was often not strong enough to take out a tank soldier took of the explosive heads from multiple grenades and attached them with rope or wire to another grenade. This could improve a standard grenade up to seven times the explosive power. Only downside was that throwing the grenade even moderate distances became almost impossible. So it makes sense that a Kriegsman would use something like this against a chaos space marine, basically a walking tank, in a suicide charge.
    1
  1321. To be fair that astartes gun is firing what is effectively a rocket propelled m302 grenade.
    1
  1322. Combination of armor, being REALLY GOOD, aim being REALLY SHIT, and an AMAZINGLY LARGE set of brass balls.
    1
  1323. Best description of an astartes ive seen a k ew person use before, a cross between light infantry and a tank, he is walking cover.
    1
  1324. Also yhat grenade he used is called a Krak grenade, and its used to peal open tanks.
    1
  1325. So the reason for melle is that in warhammer 40k the armor is so good that those hightech super dope ass laser guns are lovingly referred to as flash lights, because against something like an astarres thats all its doing, those spears are made from special materials that in addition have explosive tips allowing them to actually damage heavily atmored targets like an astartes.
    1
  1326. Sorry to inform you, but I do not believe bolter weapons can be considered small arms
    1
  1327. Horses are not completely obsolete in modern combat while they don't make for good front line troops in a rural area a dozen horses breaking from the tree line peppering infantry with small arms fire and then very quickly retreating back into the forest before the enemy has time to organize and present effective counter fire would be effective because infantry isn't going to chase down a horse over rough terrain or if they where dumb enough to try they just put themselves in an even more vulnerable position, they also still make extremely effective scouts they can move very fast and very quietly over long distances and are more maneuverable than modern mechanized scouts I think if the wars we have found ourselves in over the last few decades weren't just open terrain and urban engagements the US would look into modernized calvary formations
    1
  1328. The Krieg steeds are highly genetically modified, so much so that all their internal organs can be turned to pulp and more often then not they can still run for another few hundred meters.
    1
  1329. troops were slapped together armor and weapons with barely any training but to fill the lines.

  1330. Korpse of kreige comes from a toxic planet that involve trench to avoid the waste of chemicles due to chaos vs imperium of man fight on this play the chaos people shot like 20 nukes and destroyed the planets life forms besides man and now they love horrible toxic enviorment.
    1
  1331. Space marines have multiple organs and high regeneration
    1
  1332. korpse of craige have commanders that tells them not to charge certain places bc they look ford to death.
    1
  1333. Space marine is a hybrid unit that getʻs buffed like 10x in sense and reaction time.
    1
  1334. Those “horses” are more like bears.. able to take bolter rounds to the chest and still keep charging.
    1
  1335. I guess you could excuse some parts to how they're not shot down to it being dark and the Krieg's charge is close enough that they want to get away if possible (and there's only few people that can actually react properly to the charge), but yeah there should be more people dying from all that fire. Then again, it is in-character for them from what I've heard about they needing a commissar just to not be suicidal. The only reasonable excuse is the bomb-spear thing would probably work better against the Chaos Space Marine, since lasgun is considered to be so weak that people call it flashlight. Normal human is not a big problem, but against a tank-like infantry like Astartes is another matter entirely.
    1
  1336. Those aren’t horses did genetically enhanced and has Aamir inside
    1
  1337. So to the horses agane thay are so agumatet thay. An take tank shells and the spears are powerspeears thay pins armor like paper
    1
  1338. OK the Spacemarine is unknown to you. OK a Spacemarine or Adeptus Astrtis is a 1 in a 120 Million Soldier that is Geanaltert, cybernatiked uprated and is now even 1000 better than before. So this warriors are so good trained and gerad. Their Gun is a 20mm full Automatik Granatlounsher. That is handelt and pinpointakurat like a Rifel. The Astrtis Fan shood thru the tree no prolmen he do not need the tank to do that. The infantri and tanks simple reakt to the fire or there supersoldire leader.
    1
  1339. The horse is altert it is more a living Tank in 40k and is used VS Tanks and mounts. It is so geanaltert it can take multibel shoots to the chest.
    1
  1340. Kriegers NEVER give two shits about there lives. You know the say "a dime a dozen"..... Well it's more like a million for a penny and we'll add 300, 000 for free. All trained and equipped and ready to fight. No need to worry about them running away from the enemy...... Even if said enemy is a giant FUCK OFF DEAMON and all they have is a shovel...... They gonna hit that DEAMON with that shovel.
    1
  1341. The death korps of krieg never take off the masks. They are trained to wear it at all times.. Well not "trained" more like it's your second OR first skin and to take it off is death. Also kriegers are just bat shit crazy.
    1
  1342. Death riders are usually scouobut also used as a harassing role and the spears are tipped with explosives and the "horses" well more like a BEAR ON STEROIDS AND AS FAST AS A HORSE is a genetically altered animal that can like some say in the comments can take a SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT load of punishment and have there insides on the opposite side of there chests and still run a few miles before dying.
    1
  1343. Krieg is a special kind of mad. You think a cavalry charge is mad, try the Siege of Vraks. The Krieg Siege army had trouble breaching the defences of a citadel, so their commander just chose to make is disappear. He worked on getting the Kriegsmen as much ammunition as they would need for their Earth Shaker Artillery cannons. 70,000 of them with 100 million shells. The order was given and the Kriegsmen fired their cannons for 96 hours, practically non stop. They stopped to remove the dead who were killed by the compression waves, change out gunners from time to time and change out the barrels when they began to warp. When they were done much of the enemy defences, well they were just gone.
    1
  1344. the horses they're using aren't really normal 'horses' They're usually drugged up a lot and are way, way tougher than normal horses. The fastest way to kill one of them would probably be to hit them with the tank cannon, since even lighter explosives wouldn't slow them down much until they were completely dead. As far as I know, the Kriegers are pretty much the only army willing to use a calvary charge tactic though since they don't value their own lives at all. The spears are designed specifically to pierce armour as well, I think, which is how they took down one of the chaos marines so easily.
    1
  1345. Sir I have a fun fact for you. Make sure that you can tell the difference between a male and female Kriegman. Let's say you give a gas mask to a kriegsman. You thought that soldier was a boy until you found out that was a girl instead. You are definitely getting married to her. ( and if you say no you will bring dishonor to her) On Earth it's a wedding ring for marriage. On Krieg it's a Gas -Mask for marriage. And I'm gonna add that some of them are round about the age of 16.
    1
  1346. The guys in gas masks are the death korps everything they do is ment to kill and be killed and the gun the big green guy is holding aint small it looks small on him but its huge
    1
  1347. Wanna know the worst part? That Khorne Berserker was probably fine from that blast near the end, since those were frag grenades. To deal any lasting damage to Space Marine power armor you would need Krak. Bit disorient, sure and most likely buried under rubble. But probably alive and well.
    1
  1348. It's not a radio, it's a Vox and Voxes are about 10000X worse than old WWI radios. Extremely short range without some extremely heavy amplifiers that are so big and clunky a squad lucky enough to HAVE voxes, as most don't, also have a dedicated soldier called a Vox Carrier whose sole job is to lug the damn amplifier around so they can actually stay in contact with command, he doesn't even carry a gun because it's so heavy. Tank voxes have a range of about 200 meters unless it's the Vox of a Baneblade or specialized command tank and are worthless in a fight because the recoil from the tank firing tends to interfere with the vox set because the shaking would knock some parts loose. Interestingly enough, Space Marine helmets has built in long range voxes that can easily reach a few kilometers and can patch in to any nearby vox network to boost its range, but requires manual activation by the space marine to be used.
    1
  1349. A space marines helmet has Nightvision, thermal vision, Ultraviolet vision, radioscopic vision as well as regular vision and built-in zoom function that works like binoculars, you would need specialized stealth gear to not get spotted by a space marine once they start looking for you. The damn helmet even shields the eyes from sudden light flashes, meaning flash bangs and stun grenades does absolutely nothing against them. So, he probably spotted the ambush and ordered them to stop so they could get a preemptive attack in. Also, the bullet of a Bolter is a LITERAL rocket propelled grenade. It's about as destructive as a tank shell.
    1
  1350. Kreieges believe they are born with sin and only redeem themself in death by glorious comabat
    1
  1351. For the cavalry charge, the main thing I would say about it is the horse itself. Krieger horses are not just bred, they are designed. Each horses is extrordinarily durable, capable of talking far more grievous wounds that would certainly kill a normal horse and recover. They are designed, at the very least, to deliver the rider (who are called death riders) to the end of their charge even in the hail of withering gunfire. As the kriegers literally only fight to die in the service of the emperor and atone for their forefathers sins, these men and women (?) are one of the few types of regiments in the imperium to employ such tactics effectively
    1
  1352. Actually the Grenade you saw was used in the real world. So not really 40k.
    1
  1353. As i remember its not a horses, its more like giant genemodified lizards, correct me if i wrong please.
    1
  1354. Their horses are genetically modified hulks that's why
    1
  1355. The Death Korps of Krieg is based on World War One. In the lore, they literally live to die. They are so devoted to redeem themselfes by death that they kill a ducking officer for cowardice. They don't fear death for they crave it every day. Also their horses are carnivorous.
    1
  1356. Ok to start off I have not looked at others comments. So I apologize if others have pointed out things I am saying already. First The spears the riders are using are packing the same style charge as the grenades. If you notice when they hit the Chaos Marines there are explosions. Second Kreig uniforms are a combination of french and german uniforms from world war one. The reason for the gasmasks is essentially cultural. The mask Kreig troopers wear are better than any imperial guardsman gets almost as good as astartes. Third. Dangerclose means nothing to the Death Korps. They burned their world in nuclear fire to clear traitors out from a civil war. Friendly fire is a minor statistic.
    1
  1357. Calling a Bolter SMALL ARMS...... hahahaHAHA!
    1
  1358. 2:42 It's the Death Korp of Krieg, gas masks are their thing.
    1
  1359. just think of a RPG-7 with a ROF of 900+, thats not a small arms for a normal human.
    1
  1360. I’d like to see your vintage military gear
    1
  1361. Just some quick over head lore for you; a lot of armies or forces in 40k look the way they do mainly for a cultural reason (kreigers have horses and gas masks for more of a cultural reason then anything) just thought this would help :> I know 40k is super confusing and dense lol love the video and thank you for your service ^-^
    1
  1362. The cavalry charge strikes me as an intentional insult - the forces of chaos are so low they aren't even worthy of the tactics in use for the last 38K years. Would love to see your collection.
    1
  1363. Bolters come in a large variety and (calibers) but the type typically used by space marines is the MK Vb Godwyn (The Dark Angels in this use an older IIIa model which I know little about). It fires a .75 cal 2 stage self-propelled, gyro-stabilized, armor penetrating bolt that explodes inside the target. A lot of people sight it's like an automatic 25mm grenade launcher, I feel like that gives the wrong impression. There are models that use .998 ammo (even 2.0) which is a 25.4mm round but it acts like an oversized (in some cases a hypervelocity) bullet. It just does horrible things to a person's body. The explosion isn't enough to kill the guy next to who ever got hit for example. It's just meant to insure what ever it hits stays down and traumatizes anyone seeing it in action. On armor penetration, it depends on the round but standard bolt ammo is effective vs most infantry armor. I say most because in 40K there are units like Terminators or Meganobz that are so armored that they are basically tanks. Really I would say they are effective until you start talking armored vehicles.
    1
  1364. I wasn't in the Army but the PASGT ("Fritz") helmet was in use in the early 80s
    1
  1365. Something about calling a bolter “small arms” made me chuckle a bit. But I understand the point you made.
    1
  1366. I quote: "small arms" Those are hand-side autocannons with rocket fuel propellant with an explosive charge. I think that this guy can destroy the tree with 1-2 shots.
    1
  1367. I absolutly love the Deathcorps of Krieg memes. But it should be said one thing. Kriegsmen are not suicidal. They do not hesitate to give their lives to get closer to a victory. But just wasting their lives is a no go. Every one of them knows that just running in with a death wish is not only wasting the resorces of the Imperium but also not honorable. The only honorable death is in the service of the emperor, not by quasi suicide. Well, they will run head first into the enemy army and they love it. But only when they can get victory though this. If it would bring no victory then first Artillery and then charge.
    1
  1368. The guys on the horses are the "Deathriders", their "horsers" are genetically engineered beasts more akin to Grizzly Bears in horse shape than an actuall horse. These things can still charge at you with half of themselves missing. Why they use speers and charging against gun lines is because thats their duty simply put. The Death Corps history is that they seek redemption in death for their homeworld betraying the Emperor. More specifically in their cult of sacrifice they have an absolute obidience structure going on where every order must be followed to the letter. In those few instances where some of the people have still much individual thought going on they are being dumbed into the Deathriders where their specific mindset is more usefull and they can be rid of them more quickly. The DoK is that nihilistic, thats one of the major reasons in lore why they are rarely to never deployed in combination with non DoK regiments.

  1369. space marines dont care about suppressive fire, they ARE the suppressive fire
    1
  1370. A fellow MP I see
    1
  1371. Unless those horses are mechanically blown apart they will not stop. They are mutant cyborgs. As for the Kriegsmen, they reeally wanna die in battle. They cant be routed so the enemy is demoralized. Lasguns have no chance against enemy Astartes, those Bomb spears are the only effective countermeasure available at the time.
    1
  1372. The death corp of creag are suicidal

  1373. review astartes ....another fan film ...welcome to the lore of warhammer 40k .....also look up a guy called bricky .....audio books .....aborder prince ...space marines ...and xenos ...LOL

  1374. Kriegsmen literally want to die! If its in the service of the Emperor that is. To redeem their people that is.
    1
  1375. I think he doesn't quite grasp the level of no fucks given the Krieg have. They do not care how many men They have to send into the meat grinder.
    1
  1376. Kreig doesn't care about Petty things like Thier own lives! They're commanders literally have to stop them from charging in with just a Shovel. They will totally charge you with only a shovel.
    1
  1377. Around 4:51 space marines have enhanced eyes in either their actual eges or their helmets or maybe both so he saw ambush before the rest of them did
    1
  1378. Space Marine sized rifle bolter is no a small arms weapon.
    1
  1379. Okay, so I’m probably beating a dead horse by doing this, but I love explaining 40K lore every chance I get. The Death Korps’s uniform is super based on a mix of french and German uniforms from WWI, and they always wear gas masks thanks to their planet being a radioactive rock hurdling through space thanks to a war that happened a near century ago. In this civil war, one faction believed that they could abandon the imperium and the other wanted to stay. The loyalists won after 500 years of brutal underground civil war. As a result of this war, the remaining Korpsmen believe their bloodlines forever tarnished and stained. In fact I believe StringStorm summed it up best in their song in the POV of a Korpsman “May the mountain of our corpses earn a scrap of his forgiveness” (love that line) so yeah, if it means completing the objective, they give NO SHITS about charging a super human Astartes. Also, yeah, the Death Riders (the cavalry) usually are not much more than scouts, but the Death Steed (their horses) are so juiced on steroids and bio-enhancements they can actually take a couple Bolter shells and keep running (Btw bolters are basically semi-auto RPGs) I love the DKoK so much, they’re like... top 5 fav guard
    1
  1380. 6:15 oh that no small arm
    1
  1381. Those tanks remind british mark 1 tank from WW1. Also if i remember correctly, last cavalry charge IRL happend beginning of WW2 when Polish cavalry attack with lances on German tanks. Even it was a bloodbath cavalry try to use samekind of tactic with lances with strapped grenades on it. With stickgrenade you could detach the part from each other, woodenhandel with detonator was screwable and the metal can/jar holds the payload.
    1
  1382. Does making trenches is effective in modern combat?
    1
  1383. Bayonets were actually one of the, if not the, least liked CQC/CQB/trenchfighting weapon by the soliders. With them attached to the gun it was just too heavy for prolonged fighting and too cumbersome to be effective in the narrow trenches. So the soliders used thier E-tool or other Improvised weaponry, ie The french nail knife ( http://blackheartforge.blogspot.com/2019/06/french-nail-wwi-trench-knife-hand.html ), basic and enhanced clubs ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvMNyGpPeBw) or even brass knuckles.

  1388. A tactic the Death Korp uses is to use artillery fire as a means of keeping enemy reinforcement away.
    1
  1389. actually cavalery charges were present in 20 cnetury, Polish, Germany and US troops charges succesfuly decent amount of times with succeses. There was even mutual cavalery charge in '39 between Poles and Germans during Battle of Krasnobród
    1
  1390. Roman helmet, are we a joke to you?
    1
  1391. Basically when it comes to the death corp of kreig, the reason they get off with the BS they do is bc they don't give a flying frick about the losses they take. Think the Italian ww1 arditi with the fanaticism of WW2 Japan for the these guys.
    1
  1392. Yo you’ve got some comments from bots on this video, i reported them but maybe you should delete them or something (reporting them hides them from me but I don’t think it hides them from everyone else but idk)
    1
  1393. If you like necrons then I'd advise the following. Recruit Edition starter set, Paint + Tools set, undercoat, Tamiya Ultra thin plastic cement. For about $115 you would get undercoat, 12 paints, 1 textured base paint, starter paint brush, mould line scraper, clippers, plastic glue, 20 minis, basic rules, and a VERY simple game mat and building. The space marines may not appeal to you but the recruit edition is only $5 more than a box of necron warriors on their own and you get 10 necron warriors, 3 scarab swarms, necron royal warden, marine lieutenant, and 5 man marine assault squad. It will let you try your hand at painting two very different factions to a basic battle ready standard that can be greatly improved upon with only a few more colours, if you enjoy painting. If you decide to delve deeper then you have something to build from. If you hate it or another faction takes your fancy you haven't spent much on painting practice minis.

  1394. Can you react to "Imperial Guard: Death Korp of Kreig lore & history"... DKoK best guardsman. happy gas mask noises https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqPV8JLkj3M

  1395. necrons dont care about suppresion. and the marines just like frontal assaults :D
    1
  1396. I am going to laugh with sadistic glee If GW pulls a fast one on everyone and make the blue boys the next lunar wolves and make them rebel against the imperium.
    1
  1397. Saying space marines and sisters of battle armours are comparable is like saying a bathrobe is comparable with armour.
    1
  1398. yeah they are primaris marines you can tell by the red helmets
    1
  1399. Face tats are cool and I would actually say sexy as hell on women.
    1
  1400. When you say astartes dont have a command structure are you ignoring the codex compliant command struture? A sergeant to each squad, a captain and two lieutenants to a detachment? Or are you meaning in a wider sense than that?
    1
  1401. The Imperium would be more inteligent if they gmGuardsman are robot instead of persons. Just do it and see how the things change in the galaxy.
    1
  1402. Well. The bikes are usefull only in the hands of a Space Marine. Because that shit can run to the speed of Mach 5
    1
  1403. The Imperium only stands until the M42 is because the others enemies arent well organized like Chaos forces and dont have the same streath
    1
  1404. 3:35 the answer is no. titans are fortresses with their own super reactors. the energy their guns and shields consume is enormous. no tank could sustain that
    1
  1405. Funny you should bring up strapping a titan weapon to a vehicle, the Tau did that very thing with great success. When they first encountered a titan, they lost several battles to it, then their Earth Caste (engineers) put their heads together, and strapped a giant, starship scale rail gun to one of their planes, and filled its hold with giant self-guiding missiles. At the end of the day, the Imperium was -1 titan.
    1
  1406. one reason the titans are so big is so they can not only house weapons that can devastate entire armies all at once, but to house void shield generators and the power plants required to run them. Another would be the intimidation factor. If the opposing side has no weapons that can hurt the titan and they can't get underneath it to board it, either it becomes target practice or the battle will be won just by the enemy running away and be getting picked off as they retreat. It's kind of hard to retreat safely when the giant mechanical walker that is coming at you is reshaping the landscape with each shot and obliterating any hope you have of finding cover. And as for spare parts, the titans are transported from battle to battle with massive hangars that house all the repair parts and machinery necessary to fix a titan from all but the most catastrophic damage. When they run low they head to the forge world that makes those parts and just take some, regardless of if that forge world needs them at the time to make a new titan. but yeah, it can take years to repair a badly damaged titan. but if a titan is that badly damaged, you probably have to train a new crew as they were probably KIA inside the titan so it would be out of action for a while just because of that as well. especially since each machine spirit will have its own quirks they will have to find out about and how to handle them.
    1
  1407. coordination of marines mostly depends on commander, but they coordinate with guard because they were mostly called by the guard. And Inquisitor can request marines to work as his force, or call in chapter he knows would coordinate. Great example was vraks. Dark angels when they arrived they just made a bit of damage and left. Red scorpions helped commander where he asked them and when Inquisitor Hector Rex took command of the army he called in Red Hunters and Grey knights to help. Now he had support of 3 chapters who were willing to obey orders or coordinate their attacks. In first war for armagedon when Blood angels, Salamanders and Ultramarines arrived they elected Dante (Blood angels) as the leader and he took command over the whole war on armagedon.
    1
  1408. Marines do have their own captains, lieutenants etc. honestly. Chapter Master is like the head of everything
    1
  1409. titans where developed for labor and combat part in fact because things are big, and enemies are also big and scary, and a city takes a while to siege for example.

  1413. In the 41st century there is a very good reason AI is not used it’s stated to be illogical or superstitious but AI almost destroyed humanity and can be corrupted by the dark forces of the warp.
    1
  1414. And then to top it off on the issue of compliance the Inquisition straight up holds the authority to sign death warrants for entire planets as they see fit, I don’t know about you but I’d be quite compliant if I had that looming over my head
    1
  1415. Honestly, a large swath of my fellow Americans could really benefit from accessing a news agency such as Voice of America... It would undeniably be better than the subversive Murdock media empire's fallacious rhetoric & blatantly false propaganda pieces.... Fox is not an entity which represents American values or our nation's best interests... Manipulation of the ignorant masses is a fundamental necessity for maintaining an ordered society.
    1
  1416. There objectively are no deities no magics nor miracles; no supernatural forces nor superstitious salvations... Only the harsh reality of our personal insignificance, when placed in the proper context of this coldly vast & utterly indifferent material universe.(s?)

  1418. I almost thought that giant cup of coffee was a bolter, don’t scare me like that.
    1
  1419. You wouldn’t even necessarily need an ai but at least a means to bundle and manipulate that data to gain the necessary insights from it would already be massively helpful but even the means of big data analysis the imperium lacks… Also your commentary is gold. Do you perhaps have a background in history or politics? Perhaps both? The man in charge of the MfS (Stasi) was Erich Mielke iirc

  1420. Legally distinct from dune™

  1421. The way you understood the warp is kind of right, but way oversimplified. The Warp is unnavicable without the Empreors Beacon, Not only Space, but time flows freely and without guidance a ship might never emerge again from it, or 20 Millenia in the past, or 10 millenia in the Future, maybe even in another Galaxy, who knows. It´s i, after all, the realm of the "Chaos" Gods, for good reason.

  1422. If you want a thorough understanding on 40k lore lutin09 might be a better channel. Here is the lore of 40k in order https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLl6BRvEJ-auZ5aYPHj1B3pKJ_pLjg9qNU
    1
  1423. While it's true that The Imperium of Men doesn't have AI in the true sense of the word, there are computers(cogitators) and very powerful ones at that. On top of that, the entire Adeptus Mechanicus faction is made of cyborgs, many of them with improuved mental capacity to some extent and the closer one gets to Archmagos status, the less human they are(and the more they are a computer on legs... or wheels... or tracks... or spider legs). Mechanicus is not even the only branch augmenting workers for specific tasks, even administratus drones can sometimes recieve implants to increase data storage, computation power, etc. The reason why their bureaucracy dwarfs even the ability of this sort of people is becase the Imperium never deletes any data, sure data is lost due to age, wars, you name it but do that over millennias and its impossible to make heads of tails of anything. Its made even worse by the centralisation of data from big chunks of the galaxy. Also of note, Chaos actually uses AI(or demons in forms of AI). The Tau also use Ai in the form of sentient drones. The necrons while initially biological could be considered AI(well, at least the ones that are able to think still because the majority of them are just automata). P.S. Machinery in the Imperium have something called a "Machine Spirit" which in the more advanced/old pieces of technology is more or less sentience (though that can be debated) P.P.S Ceausescu was indeed in Romania and he had his own secret police, so your point was valid, the more authoritarian the state, the more enforcing the rules takes more work
    1
  1424. The Imperium Doesnt use AI for they are Abomination. The Cult Mechanicum have extensive use of Machine Spirits. It's not Abominable Intelligence for it is come from human souls.
    1
  1425. No, it's not like in Dune. In WH40k you must go to a different dimension - the warp. Immaterium. Look at Event Horizon movie. It's more like that.
    1
  1426. Your videos really add up with the additional info, trivia and comparisons. Makes me feel like i am learning a bit more beyond the video, which is great, reactions should add a new perspectives
    1
  1427. It's kinda upsetting when he looks at some of this stuff and is just like yeah that seems realistic.
    1
  1428. The thing about medieval religions is that they where great propaganda machines to give the lords and kings divine right, make sure the people are united with a common culture
    1
  1429. Best way I heard to sum up the astronomicon is a north star in the warp by which ships can navigate.
    1
  1430. There could be a possibility that a peasant from a feral world will suddenly got conscripted into the guard, and his last experience of weaponry is a crossbow. Now wills they’ll train him into a guardsmen , but his concept and precipitation of the world could be the same, my rifle is just some wonky magic crossbow and I’ll doing god’s work, do I know what the imperium is?no. Can I understand what’s going on ? No. But his is gonna do just what the other trillions of guardsmen does and fight on.
    1
  1431. So good! Keep it up!
    1
  1432. Unless I've misinterpreted what you were saying about the fuedalism part when you said the video was essentially wrong for saying fuedalism was very slow and taxing where in real life history it was opposite, you could raise an army very quickly in response to a raiding party etc as opposed to asking help from a centralised governance . I think the video was saying it that from the other perspective of the centralised government when trying to consolidate/ rally a large singular force was really slow and difficult as it had to contact every individual planet/faction and convince them to send troops etc and then waiting for said forces to assemble into one when needed
    1
  1433. Oddly enough the Emperor wanted to create a dynamic without religion because belief, and faith, etc, etc, was the major gateway to the forces of chaos. He crossed into the warp and bargained with the gods there and then betrayed them, using their powers granted to him to defeat them. Later on, blind faith in the emperor granted miracles and protection against demons and other warp entities. So the Ecclesiarch started as a lowly cult, and now despite it's size is still refered to as the Cult of the Emperor.
    1
  1434. About the point with AI and fear of Technologie. There is actually AI in the 40k universe. But it´s completely forbidden and feard by the Imperium of Man. Faar before the time of 40k humanity had reached incredible technologicle power. A bit like someone would actually think about a sci fie setting. They also had a complete workforce of Ai controlled Robots, imagine it a bit like in I-Robot. But then the AI rebelled and the resulting war COMPLETLY destroyed the human civilisation to a point where you found yourself in a Madmax scenario. Because of that AI is completly forbidden. Instead they use for their role something called a "Servitore" It´s a Human fitted with augmentations, lobotomized and their brain completly surgigly reworked. They are not more then Flesh robots but by tweaking the Human Brain in them these Servitores can also used for computational work. Especialy since Human-Machine-Interfaces are extremly advanced to that time.
    1
  1435. Yeah, the iron curtains were change by a great walls.
    1
  1436. There are medieval worlds, worlds of primates, worlds of humans more advanced then Earth, etc... And trillions. Trillions upon trillions of soldiers. Tens, or Hundreds of trillions.. more.. so much more... endless worlds lost... tens of thousands who knows... There is an endless war and it is all to quench the thirst of laughing Gods.

  1442. I bet the Orks eats crayons too.......
    1
  1443. Orks are ridiculous? You've merely scratched the surface. In lore, they've besieged Holy Terra, get back through time to kill themselves and invaded the Warp.
    1
  1444. Talking about Orkdom as the worst of the imperium, Tolkin I think said similar as Orcs being Humanity at its most debased, according to his own war experience.

  1450. Orcs do not get arroud the laws of physics. They smash the laws of physics till they stop moving
    1
  1451. Mitochondrial DNA being matrilineal is less about the Chromosome and more about the fact that all the Mitochondria of the Zygot being from the Egg/Ova and none of it from the Sperm. As the mitochondria of the Sperm is in its "neck" (forgot the correct terminology) but only the "head" fertilizes the egg and stays to form the new organism (the neck and the tail allows for the Sperm to get to the egg, they are otherwise irrelevant for fertilization).
    1
  1452. "Chaos will win" Tyranids, Necrons and Orks are still likely possiblities (Unlike Eldar (of any type), Imperium or Tau).
    1
  1453. Orks are in an extremely close symbiotic relationship to their Fungal counterpart, but many organisms on Earth are already in close symbiotic relationships with microorganisms. Plants can't uptake minerals from the soil without the assistance of bacteria that grow along their roots and Animals (including humans) can't fully digest foods without their respective microbiomes. Another Great example is Coral which is part Animal as well as Algae or Moss which is part Bacteria and Algae. Orks have just taken this to the Extreme (as many things in Warhammer)

  1454. Why did this dude keep saying assault rifle style. Wack
    1
  1455. As soon as you said the rounds were probably .223 I lost all confidence in you. This Heist is in Africa and a .223 is basically a 5.56 as a combat veteran, you should have been able to tell by the sound thst it was a bigger caliper than yhat. The rounds that were hitting that truck were 100 percent a 7.62 probably fired from a Chinese AK of some sort.

  1463. Its not an US Marines, it happend in South Africa...maybe the US Marines lives in S.Africa.

  1464. these robbors use ak's and high explosives mostly and will always do a heist high on marijuana and meth to calm their nerves and not feel any intimidation when they ambush the CIT vehicles. This is almost a very organized heist as they know the route of where these money trucks will come and go through very sensitive intel from police and other private services. So its a very scary thing to like imagine to be one these guys in these heavy armored vehicles and getting attacked from heavy gun fire

  1467. Not enemy. We call them perps.

  1468. Man, kudos to these guys, but especially the driver. We South Africans know how utterly f***ed this country's crime is, and possibly with no hopes of recovery. Ever. The small portion of the police that's left that's remotely competent and not corrupt are massively outgunned and outnumbered, and we, the citizens, are told by the govt to just accept our fate as livestock to the slaughter. I'm glad that there's at least a glimmer of hope for now with guys like these who stand up against crime and do it well even though it's an utterly thankless job.

  1474. You were correct with the use of "enemy" - rounds fired at your vehicle constitutes such usage!!! You can see the heart rate and breathing escalating, but his composure under (high calibre) fire was absolutely stunning. A high risk target would be very lucky to have such a driver!!! Great video, but it should come with free underwear 😳

  1475. The guys show of equanimity bravura, and mettle, in the line of fire was astounding, my deference to you both!!!!! The co-pilot certainly to heart in training, to keep your eyes peeled!!!!

  1477. In the last bit of the video he was busy ramming the audi. HE hit the audi on to aconcrete ball then the thugs jumped out and ran off. and then he got stuck himself.. the vehicle is a Toyota Landcruiser i think.. and they were transporting new cell phones. not cash..

  1481. 1:35 thought you said AMRAAM, was a bit confused...
    1
  1482. That weapon is either a R4 rifle or a R1 rifle. South African manufactured. The R1 uses either 5.54 or 7.62 rounds. They are driving a Toyota Landcruiser which is heavily arnored. Kom jou kont that he says means - 'Come you c@#t' This dude is a legend

  1486. I said elsewhere "looks to me like the driver hadn't seen that much excitement in at least a few weeks (😆) and had nearly gotten bored of "uneventful" deliveries.. "Come on ya c***s." 😌
    1
  1487. LOOKED TO ME LIKE HE GOT A BIT OF DISTANCE AND TRIED TO GO OFFROAD TO LOSE THE PURSUERS BUT GOT STUCK OR ENGINE GAVE OUT BEFORE HE WAS ABLE TO HIDE THE VEHICLE. SO INSTANTLY LAUNCHES A COUNTER AMBUSH AND IS TRYING TO OVERWHELM AND DRIVE OFF THE ATTACKERS BY INSTANTLY AGGRESSIVELY ADVANCING ON THEM. HIS COMPOSURE AND THE WAY HE EXITED THE TRUCK WITHOUT PAUSING AND IMMEDIATELY WENT TO ENGAGE LIKE IT WAS SOMETHING HE HAD DONE A LOT OF TIMES BEFORE MAKES ME THINK IS PROBABLY EX SPECIAL FORCES. ALSO WHEN HE WARNS THE PASSENGER 'THEY ARE GOING TO SHOOT AT US', AS HAS CLEARLY DRIVEN BACK THROUGH AN AMBUSH BEFORE AND KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT TO EXPECT.

  1493. If you're trying to have a show of force, wouldn't both of the security personnel exit the vehicle in a coordinated way? The passenger seemed almost surprised that the driver had exited the vehicle. I'm curious why the author of the clip chose to end at that point. And of course, what was the outcome? The passenger seemed to be looking up at video feeds from other cameras. It would be interesting if there's footage of those as well floating around.

  1499. Why sacrifice 360 degree firing arcs? Because the top of that knight is reserved for a giant 360 degree rocket pod. And the methods of making new knights has been lost. the heavy stubber is designed to fit in the hull so that’s where it goes because no one knows how to move it.

  1503. About WEAPONS AOF : I see your point about the weapons 360 degrees arc of fire, and it makes a lot of sense for vehicles with a crew. Keep in mind that Knights, as well as dreadnoughts are not only one-man vehices but in fact they are more an enhancement of the pilot : they both use a kind of neural link so the "pilots" merge with the systems of their machine, making one with it. Although they have access to a lot more information through their various scanners and targetting systems, they will mainly act like individual soldiers with a gun in hand. In this context, focusing on the combat ahead is heavy enough for not having to manage 360° firing arcs on the go ;) You can sometimes find missile launchers on the upper hull of a knight but it is a homing weapon that does not necessitate a lot of attention. To illustrate this, take the titans : they also have a mind link with their princeps so their main weaponry is configured as for a giant human, but they also have a crew, allowing for plenty of 360° semi-automated defensive weapons all around and above the hull (mainly to deal with incomming infantry or light armour). There is another reason for that kind of anthropomorphic configuration though : the rule of cool ;)

  1505. Being deployed in 40k is as much about blessings and rituals as it is about practicalities.  One of the reasons for this is that some of the larger pieces of equipment use semi-sentient "machine spirits" to help the user operate the machine that develop personalities and egos of their own. These "spirits" (Implied to be smart tech or some sort of limits A.I. from humanities golden age) have come to expect that tech-priests (or tech marines in the case of Marine equipment) will perform blessings honouring them before they go into battle. Some of them can get rather temperamental or malfunction if the proper rituals aren't followed.  Its a weird byproduct of the fact that while the Imperium knows how to build and maintain something like a Imperial Knight, since they have detailed blueprints they no longer understand the science and engineering that explains why it is built the way it is. Since the tech-priests don't really have the scientific knowledge base to understand the nature of these "spirits" they have come to believe that all mechanical or electronic equipment that exists is equally self-aware. So at some point they started blessing everything just to be sure. Since your deploying several million men at once it is more practical to perform blessings in bulk in big ceremonial parades than it is wave incense over every single lasgun or bolder.

  1512. As far as Lasguns and ballistic weapons go, moat stub weapons are relatively crude but there are some high quality ones that surpass lasguns. That said there are also high quality non-mass produced lasguns.

  1513. The Chaos gods aren't exactly truly intrinsic to the universe. The warp is, yes, as it's basically a parallel dimension alongside our own (Deamons are made of the same psychic essence as the warp itself, but that's like saying we're made of the same matter as stars, yet we puny humans are no more necessary to the function of the universe than anything else is), but the Chaos gods themselves and the various deamons they spawn used to be quite different and were, in fact, benign at one point. Then psychic lifeforms evolved and all their thoughts and impulses and desires began to reshape the warp through acts of murder, sex, violence, death, despair and all that other stuff, thus the warp is now a dark reflection of our reality, where millions of years of emotional overspill has corrupted everything and turned it all depraved and sick and vile. Since these Chaos gods and deamons are now essentially based off of these feelings and ideas, they turn to wanting to create more of those same feelings and emotions, in order to perpetuate themselves, even to the point of self extinction, which is undoubtedly what would happen if they ever overran the material verse as there'd be no way they'd be able to stop themselves from doing their thing. And if they kill and destroy everything that feeds them, then they burn out and die forever (there's a whole subplot in the Horus Heresy where a specific group is trying to achieve this exact outcome by allowing Chaos to "win" through Horus, hoping that humanity losing would ultimately drive Chaos into a self-destructive cycle and end them forever). So yeah, it's really more the other way around; Chaos isn't intrinsic to the universe, psychic life is intrinsic to Chaos.
    1
  1514. The other things you have to remember is that The Emperor decreed belief in gods to be outlawed wasn't just due to human history, but imagine now civilians living in hell holes learning there are godlike beings that can potentially improve their lives (of course always as a price). Dedication to the ruinous powers means when your soul doesn't normally flow into the warp but the gods get to nom nom it. Not to mention the champions of the 4 gods, for instance Typhus, spread Nurgle's rot which causes people to slowly die in agonizing pain and that's when he whispers in their ear to come to their aid. In the case of Nurgle its alleviating of some pain your body continues to bloat and rot. The actions people take feed into the gods most powerfully when purposely done in their name. Finally the four gods are mostly interested in fighting one another. Even the Horus Heresy was considered a minor blip on the radar for them.
    1
  1515. Every god is duality. Nurgle is hot only the god of death but the good of the garden and life. Some plague marines have miniature gardens with shrooms, moss and stuff. So yeah, same is for every god. Khorne is also the god of martial prowess and honor.
    1
  1516. The Gods are best described as tumors. While the emotions they feed upon, are defined by, and allow to exist through themselves are often positive, and usually necessary for life. In fact, in light of the third and fifth, outright destroying the Gods might annihilate all life capable of emotion. Perhaps a gradual weaning off of the Warp would be possible for races not intrinsically tied to it ... like humans, Tau, etc. The Eldar, Orcs, and Tyrranids would likely cease to exist. The Gods are harmful to sentient life because they seek a greater and greater excess of these emotions from both their adherents and potential converts, with no regard to the destruction their very nature and free will.
    1
  1517. Khorne is the Greek god Ares. God of war, bloodlust,rape and everything has to do with it. He was one of the most hated gods but spartans loved him. Slaanesh is the same God with Dionysus. Some could say Aphrodite but wrong. Dionysus is god debauchery,sloth,wine and orgies/ symposiums. Overall pleasures. We made the cult of Dionysus ( rich people who never stop pleasure themselves) and I think u lose the logic behind these 40k gods. These 40k gods are like Greek gods. Zeus was just,smart ,true leader but he was leaving bastards or Ares was handsome,strong and ambitious but too violent, Poseidon was a good and caring father to his people, creatures of the sea and his sons but was too wrathful and was too easy to trigger him.

  1518. Zurvan was the god of Time and Neutrality who created Ahriman and Ormazd in Persian mythology Qetesh was a godess of sexual pleasure The emperor seems to be a bit of a macguffin in my opinion
    1
  1519. 27:00 i dont personally think chaos deamons are manifestation of imperium's perception of them since knowledge of chaos and the true nature of deamons is highly classified and unknown to the imperial populace. Like they know that evil space marines exist, they know that weird monsters can show up, but they dont know anything about gods and nature of the warp. The current lore states that Warp is... well warped and its daemons so fucked up because of the consequences of War in Heaven millions of years ago.
    1
  1520. There's a bit of a correlation between ancient Rome (at times) and the Imperium of Man. The emperor is your diety and everything else is heretical. The Chaos Gods also represent their domains dialed to the nth degree, and because 40k is so grimdark you see a lot more of the negative than the positive. Another good way to think of those who dedicate themselves to the Chaos Gods is to think of them as addicts, it's such an insane devotion that they want all of the good AND all of the bad. It's a complete surrendering of will to everything the God represents.
    1
  1521. I don´t think you can give the Gods any degree of "good" if it comes to what they represent, that is just what they feed upon, the reason for their existence. The only one who has some form of "good" in them is probably Tzeentch, but it´s more like a True Neutral kind of good. He might kill you if you are in the way of his plans/schmemes but he might also protect you until you´re no longer needed, that´s about all you get. Nurgle loves his children very dearly, but all they do is spread disease and plagues, ultimately leading to death, and only death. No matter if you seek it or not. Slaanesh would be kept in existence, just because of the existence of emotoin and feelings, but "She who Thirsts" wants always MORE of that emotion, MORE of that feeling, and that will ultimately lead to death as well. Khorne, well, yeah, that leads to death FOR SURE. With Tzeentch you have no way of knowing what is at the end, but that in itself would probably lead to a live in uncertainty and neverending lovecraftian existential-dread horror of what MIGHT come. Possibly leading to ending yourself or heart attack if we´re honest. So, quite possibly also death. In the end, the will to live and live as they see fit, in every race, will lead to bloodshed (Khorne), death (Nurgle), pain/sorrow or happines/pleasure (Slaanesh) and a changed fate for SOMEONE (Tzeentch). It is a world in perfect balance, but at a very high price in quality of life, for those who live in it. It is very much evil.

  1525. Chaos gods are strange? How so? They are obviously widely worshiped around the world, especially in USA...
    1
  1526. what you're missing is that the chaos gods are everything cranked to extremes. (and when i mean extremes , i dont mean cranked to 11. just as bricky said...it's like ....cranked to 21 in the most literal sense). extremes of everything is considered bad even in our society Also , the emperor COULD technically beat back chaos. Literal demons die in his presence. that;s why the 4 chaos gods started the horus heresy , to stop the emperor. Maybe you should search a bit for who the emeperor was and what his goals were (to cut humanity from the warp entirely btw).
    1
  1527. Warhammer 40k is everything in the extreme, the chaos gods are the idea of those particular ideals taken to the extreme they are evil because the universe is in eternal war and they feed off the emotions coming from the constant war becoming stronger, they have figured out that the more chaos they spread the stronger they get so it is in their interest to keep the universe in a state of war and chaos
    1
  1528. The chaos gods aren't technically pure evil. They were usually portrayed as two sides of each coin rather than purely evil. Just as you said about Khorne, he used to be portrayed as the god of martial pride, honor, blood, and battle, but GW has been going more into the "evil" side of things for a while.
    1
  1529. Admittedly; he didn’t exactly go out conquering. Pre-Age of Strife; Humanity was already a galactic powerhouse, the most dominant race by an insane margin. Big E just reconnected the broken human race - through force. It was less a collapse of a previous empire, and more like a semi-natural disaster shattered all supply lines for hundreds of generations
    1
  1530. The thing about the Emperor is that he believed that the Chaos Gods obtained their power through active worship, so if you weren't specifically dedicating your (for example, I've never done this ever) bareback syphilis sharing 69,420 person gangbang to Slaanesh and Nurgle, neither would get anything out of it.
    1
  1531. Well chaos gods aren't necessary evil that's only what imperium like you believe... also they are not angels Emperor didn't like interfere until dark age of technology humanity was at pretty much at bring of extinction. Also emperor is nothing more than corpse. High lord of terra "interpret" his will... (Emperor would be disgusted what imperium has become)

  1534. Question, from what you've seen of warhammer lore Paul, whats ur opinion on Warhammer? Its not hard to see why its been able to endure the test of time for over 40 years now. Me personally, my favorite is the lore side of things, the details about the factions and how they work, their ideologies, their technologies organization and history. Its kind of hard to find something as in-depth as Warhammer out there. Its an extremely bloated universe, but the charm of it comes exactly from that. At least IMO.

  1535. Every god of chaos have 2 sides, bad and kinda good. They corrupt your best ideas.

  1536. He is going so shallow with the explanation of the chaos gods that he makes himself wrong. The below link to clip from "If the Emperor had a Text to Speech Device" does much better explaining chaos and the chaos gods in a much more short amount of time. https://youtu.be/SG7VvMGw6w0?t=637

  1537. Normally I'm impressed by your break down of reality versus the 40k universe but the biologist in me has to point something out. A pretty important fact in your summary of CRISPR was off. While, CRISPR technology has been used to do some amazing things in medicine, it is not the programmed virus itself. It was the technology used to make the virus. It stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats. CRISPR is 1) a natural bacterial defense against bacteriophages and 2) a technology derived from said bacterial defense for editing DNA in a very precise and accurate way. CRISPR technology is one of the reasons for the incredible speed at which we were able to develop the COVID vaccines.

  1540. Essentially the only ones that does not feed chaos in one way or another are: T'au. They do feed a little but I mean very little. They quite literally barely has a soul so barely a connection to the Warp to feed the gods) Tyranids. Them insects only feed themselves. Necrons. They don't have souls so no connection what so ever so no feeding the gods. Orks... maybe. Okay on them I don't fully know. I think they only feed their own gods, Gork and Mork, but I could be wrong there.

  1541. 6:25 Khorn is also the god of the harvest.

  1542. yes Inquisitor this youtuber over here
    1
  1543. A huge factor in having so many gods who do similar things is that clans and tribes had their own deities and shrines and when they formed nations, all their gods and their origin stories must be venerated. This is why Babylonian god Marduk has 50 names, because for the tribes to unite in one nation, their gods had to be fused together. This is also a big source of contradictions in religions. You can still observe this fusion in South American versions of Christianity, where their old gods got fused with Christian saints. Oh and Roman religion got too bloated from integrating all the deities of conquered peoples. Chaos Gods were originally somewhat benign. For example, Nurgle is Nature, which is both decay and life. The Warp got corrupted by all the negative emotions from all the fighting and degeneracy, so Chaos Gods are more malevolent now. Trying to calm the Warp by being hippies has about the same success ratio as Children's crusade did in 1212. One faction has a plan to erect a stronger barrier around reality and starve the warp, though. Tzeench is not just progress and knowledge, but also betrayal, trolling, monkey's paw, deceit, self-defeat, betting on both sides, trickery, constant reforms, change for the sake of change, be it for the better or worse. The existence of Chaos Gods is not common knowledge in the Imperium and this ignorance ant the same time protects it's citizens and makes them more vulnerable to Chaos cults sharing "secret knowledge".
    1
  1544. One of the interesting things about 40k is the Chaos Gods are not what we would think of as traditional gods. Daemons, and by extent the gods themselves are really manifestations of emotions, ideals, or events and by result cannot really be effected by the events life bring. For example, there was a deamon made form the Massacre at Béziers. 20,000 people unjustly killed, all that pain and frustration created a deamon of rage and vengeance hat still operates in 40,000 some 38,100 years later. You can't sit down a Bloodthirster and change it into a pacifist for example. The gods are the same way. For example, if left to his own devices Nurlge will spread rot and decay until everything in the universe dies. At which point he would die as there is nothing out there to maintain him. Ultimately the Chaos Gods are more like an elemental force playing at being a creature with personalities and agency but they are much less than that. Dan Abbnett confirmed that last bit. That is at least part of why the Emperor was so anti religion. Religion can strengthen daemons, as belief in the divine makes it easy to believe in the oppisote and that belief feeds the demonic. With no gods, no enemies, and with a human built webway network, there will be no reason for humanity to interact with Chaos and that will weak it to insignificancy. The Cabal planed the opposite. Humans where the dominant species in the galaxy, if Horus won, Chaos will raise for a time but his self loathing would lead to the collapse and extinction of humanity and the Chaos Gods would starve to death. (disagree with that feel like you would have to kill the Eldar and a few other races as well but a lot of those guys where really not a fan of humans) Bricky honestly didn't do a great job with some of the gods. No shade on him, some are obtuse and Slannesh is, well it was went over with the Eldar, but Nurgle is the god of rot and deases not viruses or regrowth. There is another goddess that is his opposite number, but his domain is rot, stagnation and decay which is why Tzeentch hates him. But he can also grant immortality. He can make a person extremely resilient and while making you carrier for all manor of diseases and pestilent you won't be really effected by them. That also plays into his jovial grandfather act as Nurgle loves all and is generous with his gifts. You said Tzeentch is change for the better but he is also change for the worst. The fall of man feed him just as much as the unification of it did. Tzeentch will also change your flesh so mutation is his domain as well as is sorcery. When you where talking about CRISPRs that's actually more Tzeentch thing than Nurgles honestly. Changing someone body for the better. So the people that worship him tend to be revolutionist, psykers, and politicians.
    1
  1545. Tzeentch is simultaneously the most and least powerful of the chaos gods. He wields all the power of the universe, but he cannot ever make any direct action in or out of the warp. A great deal of his power comes from uncertainty and the maleability of all things, but to take direct action is to establish certainty. So even if he wants you to succeed he can't just tell you exactly what you need to do. He can only show you visions of a possible future where you make a choice and depending on what you choose you will either succeed or fail. If he wants you dead he can't just reach out and kill you. He could give you a vision of the thing you want most on some planet and tell you that if you get there at just the right time you can get it. Then just when you get there the star explodes.
    1
  1546. The idea about the daemons being horrific due to a hyper malevolent superstitious misconstruction of the Imperium is kinda false but at the same time kinda true. Warp entities long before the age of mankind have most often been horrific creatures, a great example being the Enslavers who were born out of the misuse of the warp by the Eldar and the Old Ones. While not consciously given a specific form they manifested into their Lovecraftian corporeal form by the tainting of the currents of the warp by the psychically attuned races during the war in heaven. So while humanity does contribute to the manifestation of warp entities in a way giving them form, it is not due to perception or conscious classification. The entities of the warp are what they are. The denizens of the warp are not good or evil they are what they are, manifestations of a tainted realm. So while they aren't "bad" the reality is that they are still incompatible with lifeforms in the Materium. It's not a matter of Good and Bad it's a matter of Oil and Water.
    1
  1547. The Chaos Gods are not worshipped like the gods in ancient greece, central europe, skandinavia or egypt. The Chaos gods feed upon emotions, you are partially right with them being shaped by their believers it's just that they represent the sum of all things, Chaos Gods are also emotions made manifest, manic laughter or whispers that can be heard by people of weak minds, telling them secrets to gain power over others, or just a plot to overthrow a leader, the understanding of machinations or partaking in schemes feeds tzeentch he doesnt represent "knowledge" as a principle it's more like the sum of emotions that flow out of the ambivalent struggle between free will and destiny In the Video you watched Hope was credited to Tzeentch, but I remember this accredited more often to nurgle, hope is bred in the anticipation of survival and overcoming, everything that is overcome also has a price and this shadow is represented in decay and entropy, broken bones, minds, infected lungs and livers - once healed will have scars, broken glass, rusted iron require a lot of energy to be restored to their original form and still wont be the same. The acceptance and lethargy that is imposed by giving up to struggle against the forces of nature - instead hoping and enjoying the results that are not enacted but rather watched and catalogued is. Therein lies the anathema to tzeentch who is more about reverting, changing or controlling outcomes, as compared to nurgle who might see this as interference of entropy. Khorne represents violence, as strange as it might sound there is a certain amount of nuance to it - There is a reasons for berserking rather than precise termination - the less thrill and the more reasoning bloodshed has - the more khorne will be disappointed - The embodiment of the urge to kill, devoid of control and a blank sensation of wrath that overrides the will to survive. Entering a battle trance, by killing and keep killing because ending it is to stop worshipping. Every step on the stairs toward the throne is an act of violence each more brutal than the one before, the skulls and the places in between serving as riverbed for the blood that flows. What imho sets Khorne apart is that their way of worshipping is enacting violence to such an extreme that they forget about themselves and others - The (Demon)Primarch Angron is as close to that concept as anyone could've been. Slaanesh is only partially represented in joy or happiness, it's the need for more joy and more happiness that lead to the downfall, all the feelings that somehow have a representation in the 7 deadly sins, except wrath - because of what I described above. Slaanesh is the personification of hunger beyond satisfaction, greed and waste, pain and pleasure, denial and excess, starvation and gluttony are opposites by our standards but they are unified and perverted All the things above have one thing in common emotions - now why might the Emperor be an anathema to chaos. Imho the Emperor represents the Nietzschean "Übermensch" - Somewhat closer to a grade "A" psychopath He is the embodiment of many virtues Prudence, Temperance, Fortitude and Justice. (Catholic Virtues) or benevolence, justice, proper rite, knowledge and integrity (Confucian Virtues) Why benevolence? Because you shall not suffer the alien to live, euthanasia is a perversion of that concept and millions die so billions may live. Like everything warhammer, I keep imagining the emperor as an Idea turned all the way up to 11. There is no fear, there is no doubt, there is no sloth or desire, the emperors goal is that humans can control their emotions rather that they are governed by them. Duty till death... yada yada yada. I will stop now.

  1548. "Looking like Athena"..proceeds to show art for Hera from Smite
    1
  1549. Slaanesh is called she who thirsts. Not sure if she cares about reproduction. Its just pleasure & pain. It comes down to what you will sacrifice to achieve such pleasure. Other people's suffering could very well be someone's pleasure. Maybe you are far gone and nothing pleases you anymore. Dark eldar is a thing. They make chairs and other daily items out of their captives. Not their dead bodies though, they make sure captive stay alive for loooong years. Limbs and parts missing. All bones broken and fused in a shape that s convenient for their needs. Eldar toys with their existence, body and soul, until they are bored.
    1
  1550. So the reason that the chaos gods exist is because they were created by the turmoil of the war in heaven. A war so destructive and brutal that it had corroded the realm of souls into the warp. Thus three of the four chaos gods were made, now gods in the warhammer universe are made when there is a collective belief among a VAST population. The more belief it gains in the materium the larger the deities force in the immaterium grows. So it is possible that in the emperor's crusades he was creating a new chaos god altogether, the God of nonbelief, and with the imperium the way it is now he may become its avatar. Just some food for thought

  1551. My man, I'm trying to watch your latest video but I'm just getting this Ordo Hereticus contraband notice. What did you do?
    1
  1552. Gonna comment as I go, because there's gonna be a LOT to respond to here. Khorne: Yes, there were gods of war that covered the more positive aspects like valor. So does Khorne! This is actually tied to a commonality with the Chaos Gods. They feed on emotion. Stronger emotions feed them more, and causing those emotions gives them more food. So, while Khorne could feed on honor and valor and such, its much more efficient to exaggerate those emotions into mindless bloodthirst, because it's a stronger emotion, AND it causes more of that emotion in others! Tzeentch: Tzeentch is, I think, the only Chaos God older than humanity, and so is the largest set of the emotional spectrum cut out from a much milder time in the Warp. He is, at his core, the desire to change things. He in innovation and sabotage, progress and recession, revolution and coup. So long as things aren't stagnant, he is happy, it doesn't matter if the change is good or bad, just as long as someone wants it to be different. Now, remember how the Chaos Gods want to exaggerate emotions? Well, what happens if someone starts out wanting to make a farm tool more efficient, and then that desire spirals out of control until they're trying to blow up their planet? That is the danger of Tzeentch. Also, gods of time? Like Kronos? The Fates? The Norns? Also, Tzeentch's aesthetic is closely tied to Thoth. You are correct, they AREN'T intrinsically evil! They are intrinsically extreme! They want to feed on the extremes of emotion, which tends to wind up evil! Nurgle: So, the video got one thing wrong. Nurgle loves ALL living things equally. As in, you mean as much as a single E. Coli bacterium. And the E. Coli outnumber you. But, hey, you can get along! Just let Papa Nurgle help. And yeah, Nurgle's illnesses can serve perverse medical purposes. Although it usually looks more like plugging bullet wounds with tumors. But! Nurgle is stagnation, as well as endurance. Where Tzeentch inspires the downtrodden to rebel against their tyrants (and then assassinate all the other rulers) and Khorne inspires them to perform the coup with honor (at first), Nurgle gave them the steadfastness to deal with the problem when there was nothing they could do (even when the plague rolled through town). Slaanesh: Dionysus / Bacchus was literally the god of getting crunk! And the thing with Slaanesh is, they came from a culture that had several million years to hone the idea of 'decadence' to a razor edge. But, again, they represent joy and sorrow. Pain and pleasure. Perfection and leisure. Both the good and bad. They just exaggerate it to the point that it's unmistakably awful. On Emps feeding Khorne: You know what doesn't feed Khorne? Cold, calculated extermination. Well, at least not as much as blind slaughter. Also, the fact that in the modern Imperium, everything is in the name of the Emperor, not one of the Chaos Gods or one of their aliases. Same with Tzeentch. Emps wanted to change the galaxy, yes, but after that? He wanted the Imperium will be stable. But what about Nurgle, then? Stable, but not stagnant. The rotting Imperium was about the opposite of what the Emperor wanted. Gluttony in Nurgle's camp? Nooooooooo. The reason Nurgle and his Daemons look fat is they're bloated with plague. XD Gluttony is still Slaaneshi all the way. Oooooh, okay, you have things tied with Emp's motivations. He doesn't want to kill the EMOTIONS that the Gods are rooted in from humanity. He wants to stop the entities driving humanity towards the destructive extremes of the emotions. If the Chaos Gods were destroyed, the emotions would remain, but so long as they didn't spiral out of control, they wouldn't become self aware and hungry. The Chaos Gods are like a malignant tumor in our emotions. Giant clumps that feed and grow, but they can be removed without you losing anything important. On the topic of the Imperial Wavy Locks: The difference between the Emperor and Slaanesh: The Emperor maintains his hair with a strict regiment of meticulously engineered shampoos and conditioners. Slaanesh boils the secondborn child of the rishest noble families from fifteen planets which orbit binary star systems, in the stomach acid harvested from thirty-one arrogant Astartes, for precisely twelve hours and thirty-one minutes, making sure that the children are alive and conscious the entire time. The resulting concoction gives your hair the perfect amount of sheen. Heresy Theory: You're actually not wrong! Just a little off in terms of time. Khorne and Nurgle got their aesthetics from human medieval society. In particular, Khorne drew heavily from Christian ideas of Satan and demons during the Crusades and similarly Christian-driven wars. And Nurgle drew from the Black Plague in particular. Tzeentch is more difficult to say, since he predates humanity. Slaanesh is very, very rooted in the Eldar, though. They do shape themselves a little bit to current perceptions, but those current expectations are shaped by past occurrences. Aaaaahhhh, so Slaanesh as Aphrodite is an interesting angle, and not an inaccurate one. It starts with just making the food taste good, and spirals into grating freshly-plucked eyeballs to give your spaghetti that extra zing. The danger of the Chaos Gods isn't the emotion itself, it's the escalation.

  1575. It's depends on the chapter. Military recruits are good for ultramarine, dark angels, salamanders, or imperial fist like chapters. They do more than just fight. But space wolves, white scars, black Templars, chacaradons, minotaurs, blood angels like chapters, only exist to fight and slaughter the enemy. Being a good warrior is more important than being a good solider for their purposes.

  1577. The more I read and hear about the astartes creation it seems to me they are more designed to be weapons rather then human. Maybe the reasoning for these absurd over the top recruitment trials is that it's the intent to eliminate or abandon certain characteristics and rebuild them from the ground up? Dunno how that would go and the technology and genetics used would affect the mentality of the recruit after they successfully passed. It just came to mind as I remember other dystopian sci-fi genres, especially where there is a focus on transhuman topics, where it is illustrated or questioned how much tampering or change within the human body and/or mind would result in them still being human. Or what we consider human by our standards and values nowadays. Seemed like a reapearing theme in these genres.
    1
  1578. Criticizing the space marines for recruiting children from traumatic environments implies that there's environments in the imperium that aren't traumatic.
    1
  1579. I would wager that Street Gang member or from feral world would work with group of people 5-6 as agile unit that is very adaptable to shifting situations and strong desire to survive. That would resemble more of Space Marine's doctrine. People from privilege class would be less adaptable, less survival instinct and trust that there are reinforcement if they just hole up.
    1
  1580. In terms of age, the in universe explanation is that the vast majority of the implants involved in the process have a higher degree of successful biological acceptance. For the recruitment of kids from high stress, survival of the fittest conditions, I can somewhat see the benefit when you consider that if they can cope well enough with those conditions, they would hopefully cope with the extreme conditions space marines are deployed to, especially where chaos forces are concerned. I’m definitely not going to argue about it being the best method of recruitment, but I can see why some might think it is.

  1582. Relatively short video today. Hope to see the next a little longer next time. I dig your videos bro.

  1583. Krieg and Cadia are fortress worlds their Guardsmen are too valuable to give any of those planets to a Spacemarine chapter to recruit from. They tend to usually recruit from worlds that can't offer the best guardsmen since they will break the psyche anyway and rebuild it through quite some unethical means in our world.

  1584. oh by the way, most marines dont remember anything pre-marine
    1
  1585. Other than death there is another fate even worse for those that fail. Many that failed but lived get their minds wiped and turned into servitors. A cyborg that fulfills one task for the rest of it existence, being that of writing down records, polishing a shield, fighting with a big gun, or even opening a door. Most servitors have their bodies hacked and ripped apart and metal components fused in, the problem being that some don’t fully get mind wiped and can still feel pain but since they shouldn’t there is no need for anesthetics. Also for those ones it’s like “Get Out” where they are conscious but have no control of their body anymore.
    1
  1586. I don't think the majority of the trials have the kids fighting each other. They're made to different tasks, similar to selection for special forces...but extremely dangerous ones that easily result in death if a mistake is made, though in lore, most chapters allow for backing out. Its still a really messed up method of brainwashing, and most applicants fail, but its presented as even the conscripts tending to view the prize of passing being a massively better option than remaining in their previous situation
    1
  1587. using nids as your example for a long campaign is generally wrong orks have a habit of constantly popping back up after defeat and have the high numbers to require long campaigns, they are also really stubborn bastards wars against nids are some of the fastest of all every calorie that they burn is their loss so the hivemind tries to limit its expenditure as much as possible flesh can be reformed, carbs cant be unburned it takes days, weeks at most for a hivefleet to eat a world, including the crust for their iron intake its an incredibly efficient engine of destruction and consumption if you delay it for months it will have tried to change the situation in a hundred different ways and eventually one will work either you win fast or you get eaten fast

  1588. Some of the underworld gangs are not gangs in the way we understand - many have highly disciplined cultures, or even develop technical skills like chemistry and metalworking. Some underworld gangs are as organised as any military regiment.

  1589. 2:00 Psycho conditioning and memory alteration Space Marines don't have Flight or Fight thoughts, there is Only Figth. SM Knows no Fear, and its not just a badass catchphrase or a saying, it is the truth, they don't register fear. They make Tactical retreats when the situation calls for it, but thats it. Mental Breakdown isn't a thing, or when it happens the Recruit is expurged from the process. The MIx of Zealotery, Duty and Psycho conditioning, makes them emotionaly stunted, their trainign is what makes them react to threats in ways that is dictated by their training and their personal experiences. 2:15 Once again, Genetic manipulation and enhancement, so, they are not affected by any physical complications due to their psychological state. I know that it is a ridiculous catch all phrase, but thats just how it is in the 40kverse. 5:00 Once again, in the 40kverse the best recruits are those that are accustomed to a Harsh life in a HArsh environement, they are made tougher just by the everyday living conditions of their habitat(tho the live in an Imperial city or Hive City isn't that rosy either) When we talk about harsh conditions, its not like "OUR" Harsh conditions, its like ridiculous. WHOLE PLanets with Never ending Winters and Snow storms that can last for months, with a wild life adapted to such conditions, like Fenris, the Homeworld of the Space Wolves Chapter. Jungle worlds where everything is savage and ferocious, Catachan is renowed for their Catachan Devil's, Centipede like creatures, that are as long and wide as a freight train and can break concrete with their snappers/pincers, home of the Catachan Jungle figthers regiment of the Imperial Guard. The World of Nocturne (homeworld to the Salamenders SM) where the surface is nothing but magma rivers and active volcanoes. the World of Bhaal, home of the Blood Angels, who is a complete an utter desertic toxic wasteland(think mad max like Toxic and aride Wasteland) Barbarus, Home world of the Deathguard Legion (turned traitor and the planet is now abbandoned/destroyed after the HH), where the WHOLE planet was covered in an eternal Fog of toxic fumes and gases, with only the highest peaks/cliffs/mountains been save for Humans to live in. Nostromo, World of the Night Lords Legion( traitors, planet as been Exterminatused), in perpetual Darkness due to its locked Geo-orbit with its moon blocking the light of the Sun and its heavely saturated and polluted atmosphere.

  1590. Don't know if this has any lore basis but, isn't recruiting people with messed up backgrounds a sign that the Imperium is not perfect, has flaws, and one of the reasons why they haven't outright won against the Xenos and Chaos. This is at the end of day a story. It needs conflict and people with flaws. People don't like reading about Mary Sues, it's not interesting. I'm sure if big E or Guilleman had full control this would be fixed. For now though, it's working as the writers intended.

  1600. Terminator armor is a separate armor, it is its own armor suit. When going into a area known to be heavily defended the chapter will send in Terminator armor. Terminator armor suits are often ancient and are treated as holy relics. Fairly common to see them wearing purity seals.
    1
  1601. I think the reason Space marines don't seem to have a normal escalation of force and just go straight to "Destroy it all", is because if they have been called in, shit is already pretty much fucked.
    1
  1602. To answer your Terminator armor question. Terminator armor is so valuable that it is only give to veterans of each chapter. Also fun fact terminator armor was originally not meant to be used for war. It was actually used in mass quantity for mining, but after the dark age of technology and during the emperor's reign is was then used for war. (Dark age happened before the emperor stepped up to rule)
    1
  1603. You asked the lore nerds some questions so here ya go. 6:18 Yup, the Salamanders (along with the Space Wolves and the Lamenters) are some of the only """""""""friendly""""""""" chapters. 6:23 Nope, the Blood Angels and their successors are the vampiric ones. 7:27 No, its a different suit. Its normally just worn by VIPs (like the chapter master) and special elite units made up of veterans of the chapter. 8:05 Despite the name, genestealers aren't really trying to steal people's genes. What they want is to "struggle-snuggle" people to create human-genestealer hybrids that can pass for humans but are telepathically linked the OG genestealers to slowly take over worlds. so its defenceless when the tyranids (who they worship as gods) attack. Really its the tryanids that steal your genes, not the genestealers. 11:50 Ah, so basically the nutcase guardsmen from Mordian. 16:51 Good point, its more purging apostates in this case, them being xenos and all who haven't heard about our lord and savour Big E. 17:37 Nah, the Blood Ravens (aka the Bloody Magpies) are the ones who steal all your shit, sorry I mean to say "reclaiming relics of the chapter". 18:47 The drill is the punch a hole in the armour through which medication can be given. Not a great system but I'm not about to argue with a space marine. 30:01 I mean if you could somehow disconnect one from the hive mind without killing it, it would go back to being a mindless beast which yes presumably you could then train!
    1
  1604. Terminator armor are given to elite veteran Space Marines. They are only deployed in special missions like clearing space hulks of course. Fun fact: Terminator armor in The Dark Age of Technology, the peak of humanity's scientific and technological achievement, Terminator armor was used in mining and farming in hostile environments, like SCVs in Starcraft
    1
  1605. Tyranids could have conquered the galaxy for now since they can custom made waifu for everyone, down to the genetic level!
    1
  1606. The reason for the drills is because if you were in a war zone you would need a quick heal than that needle drill would pierce the armor and inject some healing thingy.
    1
  1607. Terminator armour is only reserved for the best of the best of the chapter. As for its purpose, it's basically if you really want a tank somewhere it wouldn't fit, so you just downsize the tank to person size.

  1608. When he said " It has all the great stuff of warhammer. Heavy flamers and burning heretics. All I could imagine is every battle sister becoming immensely moist and crossed eyed LMAO. "

  1609. Terminator Armor, also known as Tactical Dreadnought Armor is a way heavier alternative to the Servo-Armor (normal Armor). It includes special gadgets such as A Teleportation device and the Crux-Terminatus, which is said to be a shard from the original Emperors Armor. Basically they're are bigger, bader, harder to kill and slow. Terminators are your stereotypical heavy weapon guys. Their normal weapon loadout (in the tabletop) is a Storm-Bolter, which is just 2 bolters strapped together. And some sort of melee weapon. They can also weild other ridicolous weapons like Heavy flamethrowers, gatling guns or shoulder mounted missile launchers.
    1
  1610. Terminator armor, otherwise known as tactical dreadnought armor, is a separate set of armor that space marines can use. The upside being that it allows them to wield more powerful weaponry more effectively, the downside being their absolute bulk and difficulty of manufacturing new sets of terminator armor, making it so that the first company of a chapter is usually the only ones who would have the opportunity to wear it.
    1
  1611. Watch The Emperor by the Templin Institute - it explains A LOT and is a cornerstone to understanding 40k. Cause the Emperor is the most important figure in it. He is not really dead - in fact he speaks sometimes to chosen few and exerts his psychic power in new and unprecedented ways. Its a great video with good production quality and is not a long one, it explains what is happening, why faith is important and the state of the Emperor.
    1
  1612. Terminator armor (aka Tactical Drednaught armor) is a separate set of armor; it was originally used for extreme hazardous environments such as in mining operations, the tech heads saw how durable it was that they modified it for military purpose.
    1
  1613. The lack of initiative made sense when formations where the order of battle. The unit fought best as a cohesive unit, and the commander could keep close to every soldier at the same time. By the time of ww1 this went the way of the dodo as the increased lethality obsoleted formations (and colorful uniforms).
    1
  1614. Another fun flamer fact: the U.S. entered WW2 with possibly the worst flamethrower in the game and ended WW2 with the best. I love it when people just figure stuff out. And they did it pretty quickly.

  1615. The dark angels are a space marine chapter based roughly off of the early knightly orders of Europe and have codes of honor and battle doctorate. But the dark angels have a secret, during the horus heresy half of their legion turned traitor and they are known as the fallen and are hunted secretly too this day in 40k. If the inquisition where too find this their entire legion would be destroyed and considered heretical.
    1
  1616. Terminator armour is exactly an "extra thick power armour", but it does not interface with Black Carapace as good as a regular one so it's harder to control and only reserved to veterans. Also there's not a lot of it. Most chapters only have 20 to 50 suits. The reason they send Terminators to clear out space hulks is that Terminator Armour is not actually an armour but a hazmat suit for working inside an active nuclear reactor. It was refitted with armour plates to be effective armour but still have insane radiation shielding, and space hulks have hotspots of radiation leaks so intense they could coock marine in regular armour in seconds.

  1618. The comments that Badger makes about his brothers in arms is more a comment about how derpy the AI is for controlling your allies. It's really bad.

  1619. As to streaming it, the game is only really good when you have a full group of 4 playing it. The playerbase is extremely small and have been playing forever so they're all going playing the hardest difficulty fully kitted out. The gameplay itself is slow and a bit clunky, but it makes sense because Terminator armor is slow and clunky, and it's really close to the board game that it's based off of so the weapons jam semi regularly.

  1622. Get it....also Terminator armor is just really heavy armor that marines put on. An additional clip-on armor that you suggested earlier I believe is called centurion armor...which is just as big as terminator armor? I think....BROTHERS HELP ME HERE!!!!!!!

  1623. The lack of initiative just comes from bad game programming. The solo campaign is pretty hard because the two bots following you are so dumb. Like you want to close a door due to the hordes rushing at you but the one guy just stays on the wrong side until you command him to move to a certain place. And the apothecary just does not heal unless commanded to do so. Playing solo is also difficult because you cannot use special weapons, as the bots cannot cover you properly. If you take the assault canon for example, you cannot snipe targets, but there are single dangerous targets far away some times, so you have a hard life. Playing in multiplayer is much better because people can play properly together and combine their skills against the horde.

  1624. Power armour comes in several patterns: during cursade era they had MK2 which is the first completely sealed one. MK3 was developed to allow additional protection but it had some flwas like you could not move the head to look up or down. MK4 was a modern redesign and probably the best version. MK3 and MK4 are the ones most common during heresy. MK5 is a patchwork of MK3 and 4, MK6 has the bird helmets and there came several more version until mark 9. Primaris Marines wear Mark 10 which does not fit the legacy marines. Terminator armour is another type. It is also called tactical Dreadnought armor (so it seems to be inspired by the Dreadnought chassis). It has higher armour value and grants an invulnerability save in the game, which is like a force field. They are much more scarce than regular power armour, so only certain veterans are equipped with it. Usually the chapters have elite units for this. In Terminator armour you are often teleported to the battlefield, just into the thick of it. The units have storm bolters instead of bolt guns, which act like a double barrel boltgun. They all have a power weapon, usually a power fist. The more specialized units are equipped for close combat, wearing shields and a thunder hammer or swords and the others wear heavy weapons like the heavy flamer or chainguns, plasma canons, auto canons and such, which are normally vehicle weapons. Terminator armour comes in 3 types: the 40k standard pattern from this game or the 30k patterns which are even more heavily plated (Cataphractii and Tartaros pattern. The first one is so heavy because it includes a strong force field but you cannot run with it. The second one is a bit weaker and lighter to allow faster advance.) The common 40k pattern is pretty uncommon during the heresy. In Horus Heresy games the units are much more equipped like Chaos Space Marines in 40k. For example, a power fist is rather uncommon on terminators, they use maces or other power weapons instead. And the storm bolter for example really was a twin-linked boltgun. This is still the standard weapon of Chaos terminators in 40k. There are videos about power armour marks and their differences on youtube.

  1630. 6:14 The dark Angels are also known as the first, because when they were a legion they were the first legion deployed. They are fiercely loyal and alongside the space wolves often served as the emperor's executioners and carried out.....well, undesirable, questionably ethical operations. Very few of their number comparatively speaking ended up turning traitor. (You have no idea how angry I just got up my phone for continuously correcting traitor to tractor , trader, several times in a row despite me correcting it I swear speech to text gets worse over time not better. It just tried to make the phrase 'speech to text' as 'attacks.' meanwhile it doesn't even try to correct things that are not even words and continuously correct properly spelled words to different words.) Anyway ..... The dark Angels used to be the largest legion, somewhere in the six-figure range up until a disastrous campaign [redacted] xenocide That may or may not have been a cover story for one of the Lost legions, where they lost about 50,000 battle brothers putting them down to the second largest legion after the ultramarines. They are also almost unreasonably paranoid about anyone finding out that even some of their legion ever turned traitor (It did it again by the way even when I put extra emphasis on the t) referring to these guys as the fallen and have been successfully lured into trap after trap after trap just on the rumor that there might be a fallen somewhere around because God forbid anyone find out that a small number of them ended up turning traitor.

  1631. Terminator armor is basically a relic from a bygone era. But removing all of the lore silliness that surrounds it basically, all space marine chapters have a certain amount of terminator armor, normally just enough to outfit the first company of a chapter. The purpose of Terminator armor is specifically for boarding actions and clearing out bunkers and underground complexes. Since it's still small enough that it can fit through most standard doors, but tough enough to survive all but the worst an enemy in a confined space has to offer. Normally when terminator armor fails its because it was deployed into open battle, where bigger guns that can be mounted on vehicles can easily target them.

  1632. Dark Angels are the guys that dont like anyone, not even themselfs because they did an heresy oopsie 10k years ago (wich is also the reason they are green now, so they dont get confused with the traitor dark angels that still wear the black from ye olden days)

  1639. blood angels drink blood (and is the best legion) dark angels have dark secrets aka the first legion and sons of lion el johnson they have an inner cicle that knows the secret that half their number went rogue in the heresy and now they hunt their fallen brothers aka the fallen after the heresy the chapter went from black armor to dark green armor they have specialized companies more so than most other chapters (unique models for the tabletop) 1st company are the deathwing with bone white armor all terminator armor which isnt abnormal for the 1st company of any chapter terminator armor is made from expensive and rare material called adamantium and is just a very heavy armor and is only worn by veterans 2nd company are like knights on bikes called the ravenwing and are all painted black other than their knighly theme they are known for using plasma weaponry more than other chapters and have special rules for plasma weapons on the tabletop apothecaries usually dont do the healing since the space marine armor and body can already deal with most injuries or go into hypernation and await evac. the main function is the extract the geneseed gland from fallen space marines so ensure the next generation of warriors geneseed is a little wierd since it refer to all the implants given to a space marine AND the geneseed gland there are like 19 original imolants and 3 more for primaris. note some chapters have some defective implants. the geneseed gland or pogenoid gland contain the base for the implants and must mature inside the space marine and when a space marine falls in battle it is the apothecary's mission to get he geneseed.

  1640. Dark Angels are the sketchy really religiously fanatical guys you're not entirely sure if they are planning on stabbing you in the back but they just give you a bad feeling.

  1643. Had to go to work before I could comment, but for the Terminator armor. It's basically tank armor in bi-pedal form, and as a bit of lore; each suit of Terminator armor has a piece of the Emperor's armor in it. (It was one of the Emperor's instructions when he was wounded... I don't think anyone's found out the reason behind it though) Those who get the Terminator Armor are almost always the Veteran's, or those with high honor and have a long service with their Chapter are allowed use of Terminator armor. Failing any of those, if it's an emergency, others can use Termi armor but aren't allowed to keep using it afterwards. A plant committing heresy... The orks are basically mushrooms. If you consider mushrooms a plant... then yes. As for the Tyranids... They're not heretical as they are just an endless empty tummy that wants to constantly eat. >.> As far as the Tyranids care... you're food and that's all that matters.

  1650. That whole drill-thing assembly of the apothecary is called a narthecium. It's an multi-purpose field surgery tool. However, because space marines can survive just about anything that doesn't immediately kill them, the apothecary in the field mostly has two jobs: 1. Immediate casualty stabilization and first aid. If the marine gets his spilled intestines sealed up and a dose of stims, he'll pull through and can even keep fighting. 2. Extracting gene-seed from the dead/dying. That's his most important job, as it's what's allowing the chapter to create new marines, and also what the drill is for. It's for cracking the armour and extracting the progenoid glands intact. Also stabbing heretics in a pinch.
    1
  1651. 1. Termintor armour is a different suit of armour from regular power armour. They are rare relics, reserved for Marines that have managed to achieve veteran status, not for 'extra hench' marines. They are incredibly thick, powerful suits able to support heavy weapons and powerfulr melee weapons at the same time. A Terminator with an assault cannon and powerfist is basically a walking tank, with an A-10 on one arm, and a hydraulic crushing claw on the other. 2. The need to give the other Terminators orders isn't reflective of the lore, it is, as you said, just a gap in the game's AI. Space Marines are far from stupid, and can act independently just fine. 3. Dark Angels are one of the most tactically flexible Chapters, not massively dedicated to one form of combat over another. The blood drinking ones are the Blood Angels. And the Blood Ravens have earnt a reputation of stealing stuff from other Chapters... 4. The drill on the Apothecary's arm isn't part of the healing process. It's a bit grimmer than that. It is used to drill through the neck piece and chest plate of a fallen Terminator (remember, really thick, tough armour), in order to allow the needle of the Reductor to retrieve the geneseed of the now dead Space Marine. 5. In all honesty 'Genestealer' is a bit of a misnomer. They are Tyranid shock troops, that are highly violent, but one of their roles is to capture an enemy alive, they then use a needle in their tongue to implant a gene altering (and mental altering) virus into the captive, and release them. This victim is now a Genestealer Hybrid, and will try to work it's way back into a planet's society where it will begin to establish a Genestealer Cult, which paves the way for a Tyranid invasion, and is a whole other subject to cover. Though Bricky introduces it, he kind of glosses over the details.

  1653. Terminator armor is an alternate and HEAVIER form of power armor where you go from being a walking tank to a mobile heavy weapons platform, hence why the Deathwing game shows them with Assault cannons and heavy flamers. Terminator armor suits, or Tactical Dreadnought armor as they are also called are issued only to the veterans and officers of a chapter as they are known to be difficult to mass produce (partially because the tech is rare), the main suits we see with the Deathwing game is known as the Indomitus-pattern Terminator armor but there are some older patterns that were employed during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy. During the days of the Legions; each Space Marine Legion had their own specialized Terminator unit deployed for different missions or were even deployed as bodyguards for high profile officers or even the Primarchs themselves. Nowadays Terminator squads have various uses that; because of how extremely cumbersome the suits are, they are typically deployed either via air cavalry, armored transport or are teleported in from orbit to either rescue a defensive line from being broken, participate in helping in siege warfare or even breaking a siege. While other chapters will use their Terminator squads in surprise ambushes of enemy forces to target their command structure or even can be used in the evacuation of a particular valuable objective or VIP as every Terminator suit has a built-in device called a teleport homer that they can use to either go across a certain distance or have the ship they were deployed from lock in on their coordinates and pull them back aboard for a rapid escape. Now on Space Hulks; which are mass blobs of ships that have become lost within the Warp and literally merged into each other, acting as drifting hulks of metal, Terminator squads are regularly deployed onto these as Space Hulks can contain any number of random and EXTREMELY hazardous threats that are but not limited to; Tyranids, Orks, Chaos Daemons, even sometimes Chaos Space Marines or other hostiles. And because of how tight the corridors of a Space Hulk are, let alone the kind of ships merged into it, close quarters fighting can become common very quickly; however its also seen as a high risk, high reward as more often than not Space Hulks can contain certain lost technologies or relics vital to a particular faction.

  1654. Not sure if its canon now but the modern terminator armour was for refueling ships, the old armour had shield generators built in and was more agile and easier to move round in. Some one forgot to press save on the old armour so they stole the poor refueling guys cloths and now they die refueling 1 ship.

  1655. How do you think Apothecaries get through all that armor.

  1656. Khorne is the warp god of blood, but he is basically the god of war. "Khorne will have blood! Yours or theirs!"

  1657. You should react to a terminator armour lore video it's not an add on its a heavier pattern of armour
    1
  1658. The ancient Greek themselves used flamer throwers

  1659. Terminator armor is like super heavy armor even for space marines , they wear it when they need super heavy firepower and toughness

  1660. plants and animals can be Xenos and this HERESY

  1661. in the dark age of tehcnology humanity had many version of power armor, most of that technology is of course.... lost... After DAoT during the rise of imperium empror basicly took the most basic version fo power armor baiscly what u get in fallout games and decided he can do better, he replaced crappy titanium alloy with ceramite basicly an "alloy" of ceramics and adamantium(not actually indestructible like in X-men) and made the iconic M1 power armor that all space marines use yes the one with silly gigantic pauldrons which makes sense becaus ewithout the additonal tehcnology u need certain areas of the armor o be really thick to make the effective against all the crazy weapons that can be pointed at it, note here that due to the size and thickness of pauldron on that armor many space marines will attempt to take shot on them while hiiding substantial amount of ther head and side with them. as for Terminator armor somewhere along the reconquest of galaxy stc(standard template construct) for basicly fusion reactor, space consturction/repair armor was found this is not terminator armor terminator armor is slimmed down and much more reasonable upgrade of that armor in some old images from old lorebooks and in death of hope aboard chaos ship u cna see marines in the original bulky gigantic desing, never the less temrinator armor is what adeptus mechanicus made after upgrading that aforemention Reactor repair suit, its heavie, slower, and actually evne for space marines difficult to use only give to veterans and evne then to those who secured the right and honorto wear them, but it is basicly a tank on two legs and allows for use for evne hevaier weapons some of which are truly ridiculous in power. in before u aks the reaosn chaos marines use old sometimes obsolote armor desings is because they dont have acces to.... sane or even semi-sane tehcpriest to make and maintain it. Apothecary armor have drill to either remove gene seed from dead/dying marine or to drill through armor use specially designed tools to complete surgery without removing armor and seal the hole with gel that doubles as sealant and hemostatic powder, injuries that are too devastating for this are usually fatal, occasionally if situation allows for it a critically injured marine would be sent to battle barge by thunderhawk or other transport craft for removal of armor and actual surgery.

  1664. 19:52 well yes but 40k is like thousands of years in the future we are making pretty big advancements every like 10 years surely you can have healing serum in few thousand years not to mention if we start up quantum ai without it backfiring we could have any technology in 100 years or less

  1665. Terminator Armour is also known as Tactical Dreadnought armour- Elite space marines are allowed to wear the more expensive Terminator armour and use heavier guns. It's slower but really, really durable compared to standard armour, and enhances strength more (hense the heavier weapons). Most Chapters can't afford many Terminators because it requires a lot of expensive and rare materials to make, and also makes them a bigger target and generally just makes moving around really annoying which is why only the elites get it. There actually is a type of space marine armour that is clamped over regular armour, which I think is caled the Centurion Armour.
    1
  1666. Terminator Armor is supper heavy armor that is very hard to make and only multi-century veterans have the privilege to wear.
    1
  1667. 8:00 Terminator armor is an upgraded suit of power armor that sacrifices dexterity and mobility for defense and the ability to attach dreadnought level weapons onto a marine. "Geneseed" is a name for 2 organs of "kind of" reproductive material that space marines use to chemically and physically transform their initiates into marines. One is in the neck and one is in the lower chest. If a genestealer gets even 1 than the tyranids nearby can start gaining astartes adaptations which is a big no-no 18:40 In the middle of combat it is immensely impractical for a marine to take off his power armor or a terminator to dismount from his suit to receive aid. The apothecary carries a drill that punches a tennis ball sized hole into the marines armor which he can then insert his needle (seen next to the drill) to inject a wide range of stimulants
    1
  1668. As a newer member terminators are a specialized type of Astertes and are newer but their armor is dummy thic making them walking living tanks even more so than your normal asteres
    1
  1669. "Is terminator armor for extra thicc Marines?" Well...nooo...minus moluc the A hole...or My personal favorite marine. The Red Wake. A marine so big they modified dreadnaught armor so he could have power armor. Dude probably as big as a custode to be honest
    1
  1670. 5.15 and I feel like from asking if Khorne wants more blood to insulting space marines due to their methods to outright saying The Emperor is dead, this has to be one of the dumbest s.o.b. By the way don't insult fans for being loyal to a chapter. That loyalty is how we play. Raven Guard. Victory or Death.
    1
  1671. Like your stuff bro. Fellow vet, Iron Warriors and Raven Guard enthusiast....never did MMA though lol.
    1
  1672. 16:50 By definition, a xeno is against the imperial cult because it is a xeno and xenos are forbidden by the imperial cult. And anything against the imperial cult is a heretic.
    1
  1673. terminator power armor is in fact a heavier variant of power armor. it can carry more weight, take more hits, handle more recoil, etcetera. it's downside is it's incredibly cumbersome and hard to move around in. not to mention expensive. in fact usually only 100 space marines out of every 1000 have terminator power armor. both because the mobility of your standard power armor makes it more versatile and while fighting traitor space marines being big and heavy without back up makes you a sitting duck. but in a space hulk because of how cramped the corridors are terminator class power armor is more often than not really awesome. due to getting flanked is almost impossible. if your raiding a spacehulk and you have a bunch of space marines in terminator power armor... well to say the enemy is screwed is an understatement.
    1
  1674. I’d very much like to see how you react to a lore video about the Death Korps of Krieg.
    1
  1675. Blood Ravens have severe Kleptomainia it's the Blood Angels that need to see blood spill or go crazy a gene flaw called the Red Thirst a second curse that afflicts them is the Black Rage where a Blood Angel Marine believes he is Sanguinus in his last moments sending them into a berserker frenzy
    1
  1676. let me save you here. in my opinion even with friends this game can get stale fast. it also has some rather annoying bugs. but if you dont mind that then go for it.
    1
  1677. Salamanders generally like people, the Blood Angels drink blood, kinda sort of. Terminator Armor is a heavier suit compared to standard armor. Better protection, an armored cowl to protect the back of the head, teleport capable, sometimes assault cannons mounted to the arms. Blood Ravens, aka "Bloody Magpies" are a chapter who are known for their kleptomania of any loose holy relics they see.
    1
  1678. 18:41 The Apothecary's Narthecium is an all-in-one tool for battlefield surgery and keeping a Marine on their feet. It'll have stimulants and onther drugs as well. Space Marines aren't immune to death by trauma, so they're necessary. It also has a bolter to give 'the Emperor's peace' to a too badly wounded brother, and the drill is actually used to extract their geneseed after death to make new marines.
    1
  1679. It's also called Tactical Dreadnought Armor
    1
  1680. Blood ravens are called bloody magpies, guess why.
    1
  1681. Actually Spacemarines have their role outside the battles too. For example Lufgt Huron from Astral Claws chapter was doing lots of diplomacy and politics before he went heretic. And they often train the guardsmen. And the Alpha Legion is not about the battles at all.

  1685. can someone tell me the name of that viral video he mentioned at the end would be interested in watching it, the military one.

  1686. terminator armor was maintenance gear for plasma reactors that was used during the dark age of technology when it was redicovered it was repurposed for war with minor adjustments having armor that can literally walk into an active plasma reactor is nice to stop bullets, and missiles, and tanks trying to ram you it is a separate suit of armor, you dont wear armor inside armor, only grey knights do that with their silly dreadknights generally is a honor to be allowed to wear terminator plate and the marines that earned give their regular armor back to the chapter so a new recruit can be blessed by wearing the armor of someone who has earned the title of hero
    1
  1687. the drill is actually for the fallen, not healing the living one of the dutys of apothecaries is returning the geneseed from the fallen to the chapter so a next generation can be made if that geneseed is behind terminator plate your going to need something to dig for healing things is combat stims and painkillers to keep them walking, there is an injection of basically platelets that enhances a marines already enhanced ability to grow scabs over wounds and last of all there is a spraycan of what is basically like that insulating foam but armor, less for curing wounds and more for closing the holes in the armor im sure there are a few other medical things hes carrying around but its mostly about assisting the already incredible healing abilitys of a marines body and then filling the holes in the armor so that a stray round doesn just go strait in they usually also have some synthskin, a more advanced type of bandage in their supply incase they need to help a human on the way
    1
  1688. do kindof advise you to play this game especially if you can find some people to play it with you while the game isnt amazing, and sadly the tyranid are lacking their running along the wall movement, its pretty good and has some of the best 40k terrain in any game the game can honestly be used just as a tourist attraction for people that want to see how ships like that look because they nailed the aesthetic
    1
  1689. 9:35 he was more criticizing the braindead ai in the game here instead of referencing common terminator tactics these are the veterans of the chapter, they have a decent amount of independence and the apothecary values every life under his supervision as those are lives with close to a millennia of experience
    1
  1690. Eyyy, the Steve1989 shout-out. Nice.
    1
  1691. @Combat Veteran Reacts The Dark Angels are the first legion formed. They are called the Unforgiven because half the legion went rouge at the end of the Horus Heresy. When the rebellion was put down, the Dark Angels blew up their own home world but the Warp swallowed the Fallen, and, scattered them through space and, time. Now the Dark Angels fight a shadow war in an attempt to capture or kill them. Now, Terminator Armour. Tactical Dreadnought Armour: it is a heavy battlesuit/exo armour. It is a form of HEAVY power armour, with a built in a energy shield to protect the wearer. As for those who are to allowed to wear the suit, only members of the First Company (IE) the elite of the chapter. And most chapters have about, or less that, 100 suits of terminator armour. They can carry very heavy weapons, A 20mm vulcan, a multi-shot guided missile shot able to fire fragmentation rounds or Anti-tank rounds. They also carry a weapon called a storm bolter. A bolter strapped to a bolter. Think what would happen if a Siga 12 autoshotgun fornicating with a MK19 autogrenade launcher. Ugly, heavy on the boom, and, terrifying recoil. But, everything dies if it with a bolt round. Then you get the the thunder hammer, an antitank power hammer and storm shield, a heavy shield to keep you from being eaten, or blown to a thousand bits. Then you get Lightening Claws. Basically, think Freddy Kruger. As for the Apothecary and that massive drill, well, the drill is used to put down and, grant final mercy to dying marines, or, if they are already dead, it is used to crack open the armour, and crack open your fused bulletproof ribcage, and recover the geneseed organs so that the chapter lives and the memories of the chapter are recovered, almost literally. However, the medic does have stims, and healing agents that were injected into the armour and soldier via ports. And the buzzsaw on the medical kit, yeah, its meant to open the armour to allow your surgeon remove your battleplate and using his kit to preform surgery, while being shot at. Now the Blood Ravens, they are literal Kleptos. If its not nailed down, and interesting, or holds secrets they want to know about, they will steal it. They are also called space magpies. Now, BLOOD ANGELS are your noble space vampires, however, those that drink blood are NORMALLY either killed by their brothers, or, formed into the Death Company because they have lost thier minds and, they are pointed at the foe, and told go kill to your heart's content. Normally the Death Company all die in the end, or, they are put down like rapid dogs. I think that answers allot of your questions. Also Tyranids, large, angry, cockroaches. With teeth, lots of teeth. As for the name genestealers, basically, they are the Tyranid vangaurd creature. the want to run up to you, as fast as they can and eat you. In the most literal sense of the word. You are food, and, a space marine is spam in a can, or as my little nid player calls them, lobsters, so good to eat, so hard to crack open. And they are bad, the numbers of a Tyranid hive fleet is literally legion for they are many.

  1692. Space Hulks are amalgamations of space junk that have fused together around a ship with a warp drive. Essentially when a wrecked ship's warp drive still has a degree of function with nothing controlling it, it will enter the warp and draw debris in with it that will fuse to it including other ships, wreckage, space stations, asteroids, etc. If there is power still getting to the warp drive it may translate in and out of the warp with varying levels of consistency, making some space hulk appearances recurring phenomena. The ships/wreckage may have valuable technology, weapons, armor, dreadnought chassis, vehicles, etc. That could be from any point in time from the dark age of technology to the the 41st millenium making it worth the risk to send elite Space Marine terminator squads to investigate, especially if a ship among the wreckage was one of theirs and contains untainted gene seed.
    1
  1693. A Tyranids very existence is heresy!.
    1
  1694. In the lore apothecaries job is not as a battlefield medic as not only do space marines have an very quick self repair system - the geneseed enhancement allow them to form scar tissue at an insane rate even to a point of sealing wounds in minutes but thier power armor as a reserve of stimulates,liquid nutrition and even artificial blood plasma that is pumped into the circulatory system as needed to keep them in a battle. The main role of an apothecary on the battlefield is to collect two special glands found in the neck and chest, this glands are used to culture new geneseed to keep the chapter going and the drill part of their gauntlet is only used when they wear terminator armor and is used to drill into the chest plate of a dead terminator to extraction the gland there as terminator armor needs a large rig and a team of tech priests or servitors to put on or remove , in power armor the drills equivalent is a powerful retractable bonesaw looking blade underslung to a special gauntlet.

  1695. Sure we want the rest! The 180 degrees azimuth change to advance is was great...! But that lands you a personal corrective action from a Commissar. Only the few unlucky survivors of those go to the Ordo Inquisitorium.

  1696. I don't think you end up known as the blood god by saying things like "yeah, that's a reasonable amount of blood. No more please."
    1
  1697. The terminator armor is used only by the veteran members of the chapter and its not just armor on armor but the already marines will get I don't know some procedures to increase there size then the armor will be given to them and boooom that person just sacrificed mobility and flexibility for more armor integrity and more firepower.
    1
  1698. Yea the green black lizard chapter is the one who will sacrifice them self for just a one civilian but the this ones dark Templar are frequently deployed to fight any tipe of xenos (orks, tyranids, stuff that's not human but not necessarily chaos I thing).

  1699. 20:38 yes

  1701. The Emperor is not dead, you heretic. He's only 98% dead. A thousand Psykers a day are sacrificed to keep him alive so he can guide the Imperium of Man. Though, he's probably not thrilled by the fact that he's worshipped like a god now.... He preached that man should follow no gods, good or evil, and should strive to be the best they can be.
    1
  1702. Xenos existence is HERESY
    1
  1703. Terminator armor is granted to a chapters veterans or their 1st company. Each suit has a personal shield, and can basically be equipped with a higher caliber or more powerful versions of the standard space marine weapons. In this armor a space marine becomes essentially a walking tank and only the heaviest of weapons will even have a chance of damaging it. Again for the most part terminator armor is worn by highly experienced members of a chapter. Squads of terminators are deployed to clear or investigate space hulks and are sometimes teleported into the areas where the fighting is thickest. Also the drill on the medical unit actually does serve a function in lore. A space marines rib cage consist of interlocking plates so if something gets in there, there is a possibility that the rib cage may need to be drilled to access the particular damaged organ. It's also used to extract the gene-seed from fallen astartes, even through their armor. Apothecaries do use other tools besides the comedic drill and can repair most injuries that would be considered fatal in modern day which is why astartes training is so brutal. Lutin09 has an entire video dedicated to space marine creation and i highly recommend you watch if you haven't already.
    1
  1704. "shooting indiscriminately" Well that's because space marines are only really deployed when shit really hits the fan. The Dark Angels are the chapter of Lion-El Johnson, and they're literally feudal styled knights who take oaths and are organized on Caliban, where their origins are based in Knightly orders that guarded the people of Caliban against the massive and deadly beasts of the global forests there. Blood Ravens are the chapter of Sanguinius, and yes they have the blood addiction. Sadly they also seem to be the running favorite of Games Workshop, so nearly all the games are about them. Yes, the Tyranid Hivemind CAN commit heresy. Really though, the apothecary's drill is for extracting gene seed from dead Marines, they would have actual medical equipment to treat wounds. That's in addition to each marine's armor having its own triage and stimulant injector systems.
    1
  1705. "Can you be a heretic if your a tyranid?" There is the gene stealer cult yes "Do they even have a brain?" They have a hive mind yes "Can animals be heretics?" Yeeeeees? "Can plants be heretics?" Actually on the jungle planet of catachan the guardsmen have to avoid coming into contact with a plant that can turn them into last of us zombies, so yes heretical plants are indeed a thing.

  1706. Amazing as always man, wish you would do a Helsreach reaction

  1707. Apothecary marines first priority is to recover dead marine geneseed
    1
  1708. Khorne cares not from whence blood flows, only that it does!
    1
  1709. 18:50 the drill is but one of the tools in the apothecary's arsenal. That's just to get through the armor and into the flesh of an astartes. It also allows for geneseed extraction when an astartes dies. They also have tons of healing agents and powerful stimulants. Many of which would kill a normal man.

  1710. You've gotta learn the stuff you're talking about before you talk about it, that's kind of become pretty clear.

  1711. While I love this channel and love this video, I wouldn’t recommend playing this game because from the reviews I’ve seen it seems like the game has a lot of problems and unless you are playing with friends that the game isn’t very fun. A good channel you can check out for thing like game reviews and suggestions that’s fun to watch is MandaloreGaming.

  1714. rather than spacehulk play vermintide
    1
  1715. Terminator armour is like power armour+ its a separate thing from the normal suits its heavier but hard to operate and pretty unwieldy. As for clearing the space hulk with 3 guys NO it doesnt happend, Badger fucked up the lore there, its not 3 marines in a company its 100 of them thick boys and from the look of those boarding torpedos in the video it looks like they all deployed. So its clearing out a ship with a 100 terminators.
    1
  1716. Blood Raven steal everything
    1
  1717. No one is supposed to win or succed in these trials, what they are selcting for is the answer to the question: "will you go on or will you give in". Like Lutin says the body can be rebuild that is not a problem, for the Astartes it is the mind that requires testing, the will to go on, to give it everything you got to complete the mission objective no matter the ods.
    1
  1718. If you think luck is not part of the warhammer 40k, look up the Lamenters space marine chapter.
    1
  1719. As far as I know all astartes go through exposure training as far as the dueling and hunting trials its less about what world your from and more about the chapter you are conscripted
    1
  1720. i know the space wolves only recruit from their death world of Fenris and the blood angels only recruit from their home world of Baal. i also know the Space wolves do some of the survival trials . but each chapter that is given a world is not just to sustain the space marines but for them to use the world as their recruitment grounds as well . as an example for a chapter that has no home world their is the Black Templars who are a fleet based chapter and Citizens who want to become a Black Templar do this in some cases so they hone their skills which helps them later to enter the ranks of the Imperial Guard or planetary defence force even if they are not chosen to be Neophytes ( steep 1 to being a marine for the Black Templars). Those who declare their intent to join Black Templars are known as Expectanten and have a long and dangerous journey to survive before they can became a simple Neophyte
    1
  1721. A chapter contains 1000 Battle brothers and this limit is filled by the ranks of the 10 companies. The HQ staff, Armory (tank crews) and Librarians dont count against this restriction. 10th Company is the loosest count company often going past the 100 man limit as these are typically aspirants or most junior members of the chapter. The video is slightly misleading in making it sound like marines are pulled from many worlds for a single chapter. A chapter has a Feudal claim to a world in which troops are selected from. The trials would be related directly to the chapter and typically the trials the Patriarch went through in their life. Space marine recruitment and change from human to Antares is similar to child armies used in third world nations. Part of their training is conditioning the mind from a normal person to a faithful soldier on a zealot like level.
    1
  1722. Let me explain how the Blood Angels recruit on their homeworld of Baal. Every few years, they announce to the civilians that they will be accepting new recruits, and ambitious young men will congregate at the various starting locations, then begin the trek up to the Blood Angels' fortress monastery, traveling across the irradiated hellscape that is the surface of their homeworld. If thry can survive the trip and manage to knock on the door, they'll usually be welcomed. Then they will be tested, again and again, until they have proven themselves worthy of the implantation procedure. Part of this is drinking from a chalice of blood, which is actually the unique gene-seed of the Blood Angels. The Neophytes drink from the chalice, and then they are locked inside of sarcophagus with some life-support technology. And then they scream. They scream and scream for a full year, being sustained by the life-support and the mutative properties of the blood of Sanguinius. Many die in the process, but those who do not come out entirely transformed from the radiation charred wretches they once were to impeccable transhuman specimens that would be the envy of the Greek gods. And this is all BEFORE you become a proper Space Marine, and the training is ramped up even further.

  1737. Its nit exactly true things can be kept alive in a strong form of stasis tyranids are not a society And more to it space isnt emoty between galaxies isnt empty their is radiation and cosmic clouds in between galaxies Not to mention dark energy we have known about cosmic clouds in between galaxies since 1970
    1
  1738. They didn't give every nyd the upgrades of the space marines is the same reason the imperium doesn't have a billion space marines. Its hard and expensive so only a limited number can be feilded. Very rare actually since they are only ever seen accompanying have tyrants.
    1
  1739. well starcraft originaly will be a 10k game
    1
  1740. For Eldar vs Nids, Eldar are vaguely based off the Greek States and Athens. So for Eldar leaders to gain armies they usually have to convince their soldiers to join them, or have the leaders who have loyal followings come join them, and they'll have very outspoken opposition from their own people who will make shows and speeches to convince everyone to reject your plan. And so for most (like slightly over 50%) Military engagements that take a dedication of larger forces or even actual armies, it takes a Eldar Farseer (who can see the future) speaking in support of a engagement to convince enough people to join the conflict, and even then Farseers might have different visions and speak against eachother.
    1
  1741. Gene-seed caries the genetic information of Primarch. Primarchs were made from the genetic material of Emperor. Space Marines through the implantation of organs made from gene-seed of their father (Space Marines call their progenitor Primarchs "father") become the "grandchildren" of the Emperor. Of course the gene-seed of Astartes have degenerated over 10k years, but even we can get a lot of genetic information about our ancestors through compiling data from multiple people. Tyranids have procured the samples of gene-seed of multiple Astartes from multiple Chapters. It doesn't seem to farfetched to assume that Great Devourer was able to glimpse upon the genetic makeup of the Master of Mankind. Btw. I see that name Astartes is confusing for you. Name comes from Amar Astarte. She was lead scientist working with Emperor on creation of the Primarchs and the Space Marine Legions. Space Marines are the ASTARTE'S creation.
    1
  1742. I am of the opinion that the Tyranids are actually a last weapon of the Old Ones that was never activated and just left in the void for a long time. Until the destruction of the Pharos Beacon during the Horus Heresy, which briefly created a massive light that woke them up.
    1
  1743. I agree with you Veteran. I think the Tyranids is not only in their origins a group of species maybe from one or diferent galaxies. But rather they are evolved for some reason to be a weapon of conquest. Not conquest in conventional way. Maybe those who change the original fate of the nids have designed them to be what they are now.
    1
  1744. Here the solution. The Tyranids habit the intergalatic void right? Come from it in really,we dont know the fulk stent of their origin,maybe they make house in others galaxies. However i will suposevthat they aring runing out of energy supplies. Whats they do???? They found the astronomican!!!!!! And them they says:Time to meat.
    1
  1745. The Tyranids are pretty much a HUGE single organism with multiple bodies that lives by consuming everything it can in order to be able to store enough biomass to make the next void jump towards the next meal, consuming itself along the way. The Shadow in the Warp blocks other species from having free access to the Warp, the Tyranids will still be able to comunicate through it.

  1752. A common misconception of space marines is that they are genetically augmented in the way we think of as in test tube babies and gene editing, a closer and more accurate idea would be to think of them as organic cyborgs the implants are almost all organic and meant to override the humans baseline genetic composition with their own, the term gene seed is actually rather accurate as each organ implant is grown from germ cells that are taken from a mature marines progenoid gland which effectively replicates the artificial organs individual genomics over the space of about a decade or two and grows germ cells or gene seed inside the glands which can be harvested then used to grow the space marine organs. The more you learn about what they do to the child aspirants bodies and minds the more it becomes apparent that the marines artificial organs are probably rife with nanotech and whole slew of quasi organic systems meant to integrate with an adolescent human body and transform him into something barely human overriding his natural genetics but still keeping some of that human variety in order to prevent a single bio weapon from being universally effective. Terra/earth when the Astartes/space marines were made was fresh from a full fustercluck of a war where everything from biological warfare to self replicating nanotech hazards were available and used against the emperors forces alongside the warp based magic and remnants of the old AI war machines. An Astartes is not really human by the time the process is complete and is more adequate to think of a space marine as a weaponised sentient organism, in a way its akin to thinking that what lies inside the armour is not that dissimilar to the armour and weapons the marine carries. What little humanity they have left is the indoctrinated with literal mind numbing amounts of information through what's called hypno indoctrination (hence why quite a few organs boost brain function and allow a photographic memory) marines are tactical shock assault not static defence unless absolutely necessary or its the imperial fists , defence that's what the guard is for Also in some of your prior videos you said about AI and the imperium needing the raw computing of such machines, the imperium does have things to cover what we nowadays use AI for only for them its a mix of cybernetics and more traditionally gene augmented human tissues then cybernetically augmented and used akin to processors within the Mechanicus machines. It isn't uncommon to pry open the larger cogitator machines and find a some of a human brain or maybe several brains slaved and linked into the machine as stand in for what in ages millennia past AI components or machinery would be used for its rather horrifying when you think that the Mechanicus (the tech priests who maintain and make all of the machines) will either vat grow or use criminals as spare parts integrating what ever aspects of the human brain and thus mind they need to incorporate into their machines, its really messed up how many uses the Mechanicus can find for human body parts.

  1753. The imperial guard changes from planet to planet. Each providing a different level of professionalism or lack there of. The penal legions are simply living out a life sentence to die for the emporer, while the tanith first is a regiment of elite snipers. It's tough to define what really is a standard in this army.
    1
  1754. Okay the wolves, are loyal and are nordic like, honorable but brash asf. Generally wild cards but they excell in bringing down other marines like leman was the emperors executioner. Not weaboo Thats the tau and demi human cat people
    1
  1755. I have one thing that I have to ask: as the space marines act as the special forces for the imperium in 40k, do you think that if we were to, hypothetically, genetically modifiy the special forces group of the US armed forces (i.e: navy seals, delta force, etc...) and if we had the technology to do so already, do you think that would be worth the cost considering how powerful, resourced, trained and how small their numbers are compared to the rest of the branch they are a part of? I'm curious if it would be worth the time and effort for something like that if it could happen.
    1
  1756. Frowning on child soldiers doesn't seem to stop the US military from sending recruiters to high schools. Funny how that works.

  1757. Bricky does a great job at giving a basic overview of the Guard. But, he falls into the same trap/stereotype many people do when it comes to the guard. They are basically describing the PDF (Planetary Defense Force) poor training, terrible equipment, no organization, etc. When the Guard Regiments reinforce the PDF forces they often laugh/mock them or make jokes because the PDF on the majority of Planets are basically a militia with Guardsmen equipment they don’t understand. The guard on the other hand are highly trained, organized, and equipped. They tend to use a combined arms approach for warfare. They do change tactics depending what the situation calls. So if taking an objective calls for a mass charge then... Yes, they will do it for the Emperor and victory. I love the Guard!!! I just wish the stereotype of guardsmen being badly trained/under equipped would disappear. (Yes, I know they instances of regiments not having the right equipment or getting the wrong equipment. That’s due to how incompetent the Administratium can be at time. But, as a standard Regiments are highly equipped, trained, and organized across the Imperium.) Yea the new Space Wolfs seem designed by a teenager furry fan. Which makes me salty as a Space Wolf fan... The old OG lore when they were just Space Vikings without all the extra furry shit was way more grim dark and fun. It hurts my soul with how they treating my Fenryka now. 😭😭😭😭😭

  1758. A goold plated swiss army knife would be pretty useless
    1
  1759. Oh being space marine is unethical. You literally have to fight with another space marine to death(sone chapters don't do that) to prove you are stronger.
    1
  1760. Each type of Imperial guard has its style of fighting. There are agricultural worlds which are mostly farmlands, pleasure worlds which are worlds for the nobles and high ranking people, hive worlds which are just a world covered in cities, garden worlds which are nature preserved worlds. Don't think that just because it is 40k that everything is destroyed. Nature can continue without us just fine after some time. Cadians have an age of restriction when they sent their soldiers, as for Krieg eeeee not so much. While mortal man can get afraid, Astartes are psychically or mentally toughened to not be ruled by it or not fell it. For each Astartes, they live more than mortals, but it varies greatly. For each world it is different. For cadians, they were trained from birth to be soldiers. On some agri world, they might have been farmers conscripted just to pay the Imperium in manpower for the war machine. Also, worlds have a PDF (planetary defense force), and the best of them are chosen to become Imperial guardsmen so they can go fight someone or thing. There were 20 Primarchs, and so there were 20 Legions. 2 primarchs were erased from history, known as the purged and the forgotten. No one knows what happened to them or their legions. Well for the legions, there is a theory that what was left of them joined the Ultramarines Legion.
    1
  1761. If you want great Astartes Legion videos nobody does them better the Oculas Imperia. He has 2 part videos, the first is their history and main characters. The second is their tactics, strategies, and gear. Very in depth and you would like them.
    1
  1762. 'space marines like about 500 or a thousand years' space marines are actually pretty much immortal. there are alot of space marines alive that were in the original crusade also the attitude towards regular humans that the space marines have isnt due to disconnecting themselves because theyll outlive evryone. they do just genuinly think theyre better
    1
  1763. getting sick. Death Guard got pretty sick alright. now they fight for Nurgle.
    1
  1764. About the home world of the Salamanders. It is called Nocturne, not that they live nocturnal lives. That planet is quite hostile in environmental and atmospherical events including radiation and geological heat. It still makes no sense that they are all black, but as Bricky said, it’s fantasy land anyway.
    1
  1765. I always had a problem with the space marines being that big. Why would you do that ? Not only is a bigger target easier to hit, but they really stand out on the battlefield and every enemy can see from a mile away this is a high value target i am gonna take out that one first. And in big engagements where they have to fire at tanks and artillery and whatnot, they DO have weapon system that can take on a space marine.
    1
  1766. It's not that the Imperial Guard are poorly trained. It's that they are regular joes up against the 40K universe, and so their aim sucks compared to literal superhumans like Space Marines and Eldar. In fact, Imperial Guard are highly trained. Most planets in the Imperium don't even produce Imperial Guard Regiments because the local soldiers can't meet the standards, and instead they only have PDFs (Planetary Defense Force). Imperial Guard are the equivalent of Special Forces, usually representing the cream of regular human soldiery. Planets like Cadia, Armageddon and Valhalla that are famous for producing lots of Imperial Guard, are usually also planets that have long histories (and thus tons of experience) of ongoing war (Chaos for Cadia, Orks for Valhalla and Armageddon).

  1767. The salamnder come from a heavly radiated world so there skin litterrly Turned to ahse Grey Like in the art

  1768. There are Million different imperial guard Regiments there are really high Tech troops Like the cadian Drop Troopers than there are the korp of Krieg WHO are More in Line with WW2 Equipment in some Books. There IS More or less everything. The Channel Arch has really good 40k Lore breakdowen or onemindsyndicat

  1769. He missed tallarn desert riders for the imperial guard one my favourite

  1770. Honestly your explanation of why genetic diversity and different sorts of people are important in the military pretty much justifies why the Emperor came up with 20 genetically different primarchs, and gave them all a distinct Legion with different characteristics. Instead of basing them all after himself alone and making them homogeneous. Every primarch had their own personality, own traits that defined them, only made more evident when their culture changed per the planet they were scattered to. Even the legions proved to be too much, and got broken down into individual chapters with their own culture and outlook.
    1
  1771. If you really want the gears in your head turning check out 40k theories. He dose more then theories but even those videos are chuck full of info. Also if you want some laughs check out Bruva Alfabusa
    1
  1772. From now on I'm calling White scares the White claws, also in describing the tactical simplicity of the white scars you probably also explained why the Ultramarines are overpowered in the minds of many, their whole shtick is tactical flexibility
    1
  1773. You are 100% on the lack of diversity. Each chapter is almost comically predictable. It gives each Chapter a very explicit identity though.
    1
  1774. Yeah, your point on why the space marines are so vulnerable to other styles of thinking is really heavily hit on with the tau farsight books. After one heavy campaign the tau studied the momevents and recordings of the marines and were able to figure out the most likely course of action a marine would take in given circumstances and plan around it.
    1
  1775. I think Custodes armour is made with real gold. There is a titanium-gold alloy that's like 4× as strong as pure titanium.
    1
  1776. The space wolf description Bricky gives is very bad for what the space wolves purpose were they were designed as shock troops and in a way as executioners if any other of the legions would go against the emperor their most famous conflict was them being sent to punish another legion named the Thousand Sons who were designed to be the psyker legion. He glosses very much over in a fun way.
    1
  1777. 28:56 there are thousands of chapters, but they all descend from the ones he mentioned. The ones he mentioned are now called the first founding chapters, as they are the original names as they were called when under the rule of their Primarchs as legions. These chapters still exist in the current time line and from them many successor chapters have continued to come(and even some successor chapters getting successor chapters..) but they also have to adhere the Codex Astartes which decree's chapters shouldn't be more than 1000 man strong(though some still deviate from it).
    1
  1778. The space marines legions can seem basic but the books/novels really do give them depth.
    1
  1779. You get a dislike because you described the Space Wolves as weebs. You have no idea what you're talking about, sir. All of Warhammer 40k is stereotypical and predicable. By your logic, all were designed by 13 year olds

  1780. Tactic varies in the imperial guards, and indeed the human waves are exaggerated in terms of guard level. They are crack trained troops on par to Morden army’s like marines/infantry, even maybe tier 2s. Think on this, the guard are made of man mostly equal to Green berets and they are “expendable” , that speaks on the term of the scale and gruesomeness of this universe when elites are just numbers . True conscripts are PDF militia that dies in millions without being mentioned much but we know in the background.
    1
  1781. Personally, I've learned the lore from Arch, I didn't like any other channels, they either too boring or mop and mow like this Bricky.
    1
  1782. Well... The Astra militarum has a well trained soldiers, they receive special forces training. But it's just, that everything else is so hilariously over powered, that even a very well trained human seems as competent as a child in comparison to a space marine.
    1
  1783. 0:45 As a matter of fact, the Custodes armor is made of a material called "Auramite"
    1
  1784. A little missunderstanding depending the Salamanders. Their homeworld is just called Nocturne and it´s actually not dark. The black skin and red eyes are not just the appearance of the Salamanders but of everyone living on that world. The lore explains it with high Radioactivity from rare earths unearth by the constant and extreme volcanism and their red eyes are a natural mutation that gives them infra red sight. And since most Space Marine chapters only recruit from the Homeworld of their Primarch all new Salamanders are already Black. The earliest Salamanders, that were created by the Emperor on Terra before he rediscovered Vulcan (Primarch of the Salamanders) have normal Skin color.
    1
  1785. I have to say a bit about the Guard and their bad accuracy. As said, Cadians get trained intensively from a very young age on. And Solideres are the thing Cadia mostly exported. Catachans are born with Muscles because natural selection. On Catachan EVERYTHING is carnivorous. Every animal, every Tree, every plant, maybe even the grass. So they are also trained from a very young age on. Kriegsmen are the same. Their whole Planet is devoted to live and die as an Imperial Guard for the Emperor. So at the end their Aim is as accurate as a standard human can get. BUT IN 40K... Space marines can shoot out someones eyes at 1000 meters without even thinking about. (if given a accurate enough weapon) Eldar also have very good eye sight and mostly thausands of years training. And Tau are so accurate and equipped with such good Weaponry that if you ever see a Tau on the Battlefield the Tau are already hard loosing. Some jokes say that the only thing that stops an Tau from shooting you is planetary curvature. So yeah. Guardsman are as accurate as modern soldiers, but that does not say much in the 40k setting
    1
  1786. So... the quality of Astra Militarum regiments varies massively. Every world in the Imperium is required to maintain planetary defence forces, as a first line of defence against invasion. In the case of an invasion of a nearby world, muster orders will be given to nearby worlds, where troops are taken by the Imperium as Astra Militarum regiments - typically the best 10% of the local defence force - to reinforce or reconquer an invaded world. This will be supported by tithed regiments: regiments raised from worlds which have no worthwhile resources other than the ability to train soldiers, like Cadia, like Krieg, like Catachan. Those tithed regiments are normally either from Death Worlds (worlds so inhospitable that merely surviving them makes for a deadly fighter - this is an idea borrowed from Dune) or Fortress Worlds (worlds which are in strategic locations and vital to defend), and all they contribute to the Imperium are soldiers. On Cadia, every person is trained to fight from childhood, even if they aren't deemed soldiers until they're adults, and 90% of regiments stay on Cadia to defend it, with 10% (at random) being taken off world to fight elsewhere. Space Marines: Genetically engineered, but this is not done in vitro. Rather, they're implanted during puberty with additional organs which retroengineer them in every way, making them superhumanly fast, strong, agile, resilient, and heightening their intellect and senses. They're also hypno-indoctrinated to condition them for battle - fearless, perfect recall, heightened reflexes, able to fight on instinct while their minds consider tactics. They're then fitted into advanced powered armour which boosts their enhanced strength further and which connects directly to their central nervous system so that it moves like it was part of them and they can interact with command and control systems, targeting aids, communications equipment, etc., with mental commands alone. As you note, yes, the video does gloss over some details. There were 20 Primarchs (two vanished mysteriously and are a mystery in the setting, 9 turned traitor, 9 remained loyal), and each had a Legion of Astartes - somewhere between 100,000 and 250,000 Marines each. At the end of the Horus Heresy, the surviving loyalist Legions were divided into 1000-strong Chapters, and every few centuries a new Founding is made to create new Chapters, with around a thousand Chapters in total by the 41st Millennium. More have been founded since, so the old "a thousand Chapters of a thousand warriors" bit isn't accurate now. The Salamanders come from a world called Nocturne, they aren't nocturnal. The inhabitants of Nocturne are dark-skinned anyway, but some quirk of the geneseed of Vulkan, their Primarch, exaggerates this for reasons unknown, giving the Salamanders pitch-black or ashen skin and eyes that glow red like embers.

  1787. The Soviet Union did not use this "tactic". During the Second World War, the USSR conducted military operations against the enemy known for rapid dissecting strikes and encirclements, so it was necessary to deploy large military formations in several echelons on a wide front, in order to exclude the possibility of encirclement. This wasn't mindlessly piling on meat, it was the most efficient use of resources. Zhukov went into macro to counter tank microing of the Wehrmacht (Who played Starcraft will understand). And in Warhammer, the scale has grown so much that control without augmentation is simply impossible. P.S. A few words about Cadia: When you live on the threshold of Hell, from which demons flow in an endless stream, it is unethical NOT to teach a child how to handle weapons.
    1
  1788. Basically, the "Guard" is supposed to be the top tier of Planetary Defence Forces, the nerfed balistc skill is mostly to minumze the effects of the numbers. For instance for 1 Space marine platoon of 30, I can field 100 Guard complete woth leadership units. If the game fit the narative people would only take "guard" but the weapon would be even less effective.
    1
  1789. If I remember, the US's obsession in the years leading up to the Civil War had to due with this weird belief that somehow to gain "legitimacy", we had to start acting more like European militaries. There were plenty of generals, though mostly Union, who were literally just politicians and/or rich people who paid their way into leading military units and wound up making huge blunders because of their lack of training.
    1
  1790. He could have done a better job explaining the space marines. Like each legion has specializations and are deployed where their tactics would be more effective both alone or combined with other legions.
    1
  1791. So originally there were 20 LEGIONS then after the Horus bullshit they said ok no more legions of 10s of thousands marines they made it so you can only have small chapters of 1000 marines the only way to bolster numbers past 1000 for your chapter is to declare a crusade (and i think other chapters have to okay it? might be wrong on that)
    1
  1792. Nocturne is just the name of the planet doesn't mean they were all night people lol its just a volcanic planet so it chars their skin black more or less
    1
  1793. About how simple the tanks would be to operate, while i don’t know, and i would imagine training is required, most technology in 40k is made by stcs which are like templates to create tech they were used by colonists to quickly construct things, so a general theory is that what’s used by the imperium is that of simple easy to make civilian level tech, which is recovered by the tech priests, while before the fall of humanity, who knows that power its military wielded
    1
  1794. This is why Astartes are NOT genetically engineered in the womb- they are regular humans who are implanted with the genetic material of their Primarch. In this way, they preserve the genetic diversity of their original host population (which range from all over the Imperium) while also gaining the benefit of genetic engineering.
    1
  1795. Interesting insights into genetic diversity in Space Marines. Truly enjoyed that part.
    1
  1796. There is a big difference between the Warhammer 40k memes and tropes and the actual Lore. Take the idea that the Imperial Guard are a homogeneous force who only perform human wave attacks. This is laughably false as while the Death Korps would happily perform them the Armageddon Steel Legion (one of the only Imperial Guard units semi allowed to field combined arms units) would utilize more Blitzkrieg type tactics. A successful (above a certain rank/responsibility level) has to be able to know the various strengths and weaknesses of each Regiment as well as how to make use of them to their best advantage. Like if you wanted a fortification held at all costs you'd want the Mordian Iron Guard but a regiment of Tallarn Desert Raiders would be worse than useless. And the idea that being in the Guard is a automatic death sentence is again just plain wrong with some regiments being pure garrison troops for generations never seeing actual battle. And indeed guardsmen surviving there enlistment period is not uncommon. It all depends on the regiment in question and how active the Segmentum is. And there have not been Loyalist Space Marine Legions since the Horus Heresy 10 000 years ago. The Legions were broken into 1000 strong Chapter's.
    1
  1797. Suggestion: Watch TheRusianBadger heavy flamer heresy. It’s mostly about a game, but there is lore in there. The Marines and disease: Space marines are extremely resistant to all diseases and poisons. In fact they are so resistant, that it actually shocked legions during the horus heresy when brothers would fall to supernatural plagues crafted by nurgle himself.
    1
  1798. Some things he skipped and you might want to know. Every founding chapter, meaning, chapters that where created after the remnants of a primarch's legion, is since the horus heresy, irrevocable cursed. The lamenters are cursed to forever be seen as the enemy, even if they would die loyal a thousand times. The space wolves are cursed to become wolves themselves, every space wolf will some day lose their humanity. Those are the ones I know of, but there are more should you want to investigate about it.
    1
  1799. 24:50 Outer Haven..
    1
  1800. Are tanks easy to operate? In the guard yes. The Lemen Russ is famous for how much abuse it can take from an untrained crew. Many regiments of guard are raised up, stuff in a ship, and trained on route to the warzone. It could be months or weeks. If they came from a feral world or medieval world there is significant culture shock to deal with too.
    1
  1801. isnt the air land battle doctrine a continuation of german combined arms doctrine in ww2? close air support with armor and mechanized/motorized units. at least thats what i was able read up on.
    1
  1802. About parade armies vs fighting armies, I'd come to a similar conclusion a few years ago. Looking at many armies out there, you get a sense of them focusing more on signaling might and ostentatiousness rather than military readiness. Russia and China come first to mind, along with many South American countries. On the other end there's places like Finland. In the end our "presentation" is modest and utilitarian. We know the price of slacking off.
    1
  1803. 21:20 The backgrounds of the space marines are usually pretty diverse, but considering they practically live forever and they are rather young when they are first recruited it doesn't matter all that much.
    1
  1804. If I got it right, each Primarck got it's own legion to command, after it was found by the Emperor. After the Horus Heresy, it was deemed that the legions pose to much of a risk, if they ever turned traitor again, therefore they separated into chapters, witch meant that different chapter had the same Primarck now. Later on, some chapters spawn some other, younger, chapters, and that's how today there are over one thousand chapters in 40k. Don't quote me on that though.
    1
  1805. Ethical is not part of the Imperium’s vocabulary. It was censored out of exist.
    1
  1806. Hey I've really enjoyed your breakdown/lore videos, if you're going to be doing more WH40k might I humbly suggest Oculus Imperia. He puts a lot of effort into the quality of the videos and unpacks the lore in a digestible manner, without being as goofy as this dude lol, he delivers it in character like hes a historian from the universe and it really gives a good feel for the lore, anyway keep up the good work cheers! https://youtu.be/LQ1LSyy6MlM
    1
  1807. Can we see your reaction to "Warhammer 40,000 The New Edition Cinematic Trailer"?
    1
  1808. Every world trains there guards differently so some regiments are highly trained while others may be jokes. Cadian shock troopers are the trained type. The death corps of creed even go through training but you know there pretty suicidal
    1
  1809. Genestealers are the vanguards of the tyranids. They go to a world and they just infect you. That’s all. Briky glossed over the heavy details, but he got all the core stuff down.
    1
  1810. That ork montage you asked about is a cutscene from battle fleet gothic armada.
    1
  1811. I don't know if this is still a thing but a few editions ago there was a rule, where ork vehicles painted red would actually be faster in the tabletop Oh yeah. And orks reproduce asexually by spreading spores when they die. Yes. Orks are closer to fungi than humans. There are other fun things like a Gun that teleports Gretchins (very small orks, basically 2 feet goblins) inside of enemies
    1
  1812. The thing about the dark Eldar torturing you would only be useful if they do it yourself as your suffering staves off slanesh. And the dark Eldar aren't psychers and are just so used to medical sciences they can contort your limbs and make sure you are alive through the entire process and make you feel it all to keep them alive. A gene stealer cult is started by a single tyranid and paves its way too a tyranid invasion.
    1
  1813. Dark eldar don't have magic. In fact psykers and warp power are the only things they explicitly forbid in their city. All their tricks are made with hyper-advanced science. Craftworlds eldar escaped the Fall with but scraps of the old Eldar Empire tech, but Dark Eldar inherited the real deal.
    1
  1814. Yes, Orks get bigger by beating someone stronger than them. There's no upper level. There are tales of orks big enough to wrestle Imperial Knights and ligther titans. It rarely happens this days since Orks need to fight something insanely strong to get that big.
    1
  1815. No one really knows how smart the hive mind is. Sometimes it outsmarts the best of imperial admirals and Inquisitors and sometimes it acts almost entirely on instinct. Sometimeshive-fleets coordiante and exchange information and sometimes they fight each others and even themselves. Any attempt to read Tyranid mind only left psykers insane (which one exception).
    1
  1816. One of the weakness of Tyranids is that biomass is not only their constructing materiel but also their fuel. And they burn through it just by existing. If you can deny a hive-fleet planets to eat for a while it starves to death. Imperium usually does it by blowing their own planets before nids can fully eat them.
    1
  1817. Old Ones creations don't really evolve. Oks get stronger, bigger, smartted and more tech nologically advanced the longer they fight, the more of the is araoun and the stronger the things they fight. Back during the War in Heaven they fought literal gods and armies of supetech death ropots and insane eldtritch protp-demons. If orks of today were to face shit like that they quickly revert back to their old glory. Orks are smaller and more stupid because they're not meant to conquer the Galaxy, they're designed to always be at the level to be a suitable threat to current galaxy.
    1
  1818. Dark Eldar didn't strike a deal with Slaanesh. Slaanesh slowly eats chunks of their souls. But by torturing others they can tear out chunks of their victims souls and replenish their own. The longer the torture and the more excusite it is the bigger chunk they can eat. Hence why 20+ year torture.
    1
  1819. Eh kinda. When the tyranids first appeared the ultramarines got their shit kicked in until kryptman managed to pull some bullshit to get ride of them and the imperium have had to deal with them a total of 3 for each of the tyranid wars.
    1
  1820. Yeah the whole...fight against orks might sound good but it is actually a very risky idea, because orks grow in war and tyranids grow while eating so whoever wins the battle will be a huge disaster for the imperium.
    1
  1821. If i may make a request would you check out vostroyan firstborn by Italian sparticus
    1
  1822. Eldar gods are...difficult to describe because they are both tools and gods. The Eldar at some point figured out how to architect gods in the warp like one would architect a bridge or a house. Not to get too deep in the weeds but the idea I think is they learned that by making up a myth that described an aspect of life they needed divine intervention for and it created a god of that aspect in the warp. So Eldar gods are chaos gods, but they are very weak in comparison to the four main chaos gods. Most Eldar gods were obliterated by Slaanesh in its birth, but some did escape. Kegorach is one that did, he hid in the black library from Slaanesh. The Eldar god of wrath Khaine is split into a thousand fragments, the Eldar god of life, Isha, some say was saved by Nurgle, and she breeds his great plagues since the god of entropy by definition cant create life, yet there have been many scourges. Lastly, there is Ynnead, the god of the dead, that some Eldar pin their hope on to use as a weapon to "kill" Slaanesh and save their race. Considering how many Eldar dead there are, that god is quite powerful. And there is a race that tends to use Orks very basic nature to their advantage consistently. That would be the Eldar. For whatever reason, Eldar are very adept at twisting an Ork mind to suit their needs. Mostly that need is to be the brute force weapon the Eldar need because Eldar never could do brute force well. Humans do try every once in a blue moon. the problem is humans tend to severely underestimate just how clever a Ork warboss is.

  1824. As a bug it's hard to stop a planet exploding.
    1
  1825. Dark elder do not use warp powers, as that would draw in she who thirsts. Instead they use dark science to find and extend the outer limits of what humans can survive, without care of quality of life.
    1
  1826. There are no ork females. Orks gets bigger by winning fights. Orks also get smaller (or most likely die) when losing. If they don't fight, an Ork will literally die from the lack of fighting or being Orky. Also Orks de-volved because the Elder fucked them over, many, many times. Think of the Elder as the older sibling who isn't quite good enough compared to their younger, better sibling. (In essence, The Old One's deemed the Eldar as a failure as a race for fighting the Necrons. The Old Ones needed weapons/tools to fight the Necrons. Not a race who wanted to talk philosophy and second-guess the Old Ones, or even bite their hand. The Krorks (the Orks) were the better siblings. The pride of the Old Ones in the fight against the Necrons... and Eldar made it their duty to ruin the race and never allow them to become Krorks again, because they didn't like the idea that they weren't #1. It also doesn't help in that the Eldar stole almost all of their tech from the Old Ones while they and the Krork's were being attacked by the Enslavers and such. They're a bunch of shitty little knife-eared assholes with sticky fingers.

  1827. If you want to have more in depth Videos about Warhammer 40k i can recommend you the Luetin09 Channel he makes very detailed videos about spesific factions, for example the tyranids where he also explains the geanstealers in detail.
    1
  1828. Dark Eldars don't strike a deal or come to an agreement with Slaanesh. And as with the "the Dark Gods don't think or have sentient as we human know it" all they can do is to feed it so it stay full, or else it will come for them. Kind of like the Cthulhu Mythos of Azathoth where it create the universe in it dream, so other creatures keep playing music to keep it sleeping, or else it would wake up and all of existence will be destroyed.
    1
  1829. ORKS ORKS ORKS ORKS ORKS!!!! WAAAAAAAGH!!! i have been playing orks on the table top for years(started in 2005- to my death) and have had a shit load of fun!! orks grow form fighting no mater where, when or why (how it works is not expland in the codex or lore). during long period of no war they start to shrink in size. a ork can be from 6-50 feet tall. a Krork is a ork x10 smarter, stronger faster and far more dangers.

  1830. 32:57 I think it's from Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2

  1831. You ask if the tyranids are intelligent. And could you have a conversation with one and negotiate with it. Eh... it's conceivable, but it will never happen. For a number of reasons. See, the intelligence of the tyranids is in the hive minds, which are all possibly just spread out neural nodes of the overmind behind the tyranids. It's undoubtedly intelligent, it can strategize, employ tactics, and alter the evolution chain and growth patterns for the tyranids under it. It is quite likely far more intelligent than any human, eldar, or other organism alive, through sheer dint of scale and processing power. And yeah, it'd be easy as hell to whip up some sort of mouth of sauron setup, make a vessel connected to the upper layers psychically that could communicate and talk, negotiate, do all that stuff. But... It's busy eating the entire galaxy. Why would it want to pause that to have a tiny snippet of conversation with a grain of wheat? At the end of the day we're food. And it is efficiently and happily getting the most results through brute force, and overwhelming mass. There's no need to talk to us. Also it's alien. Unfathomably vast and with motives and drives fairly out of human understanding. Really, the hunger and the desire to grow and improve are the only aspects that are familiar to us. The rest? We are left to interpret as best we can, with the understanding that there is much we will never know. We are coming in late in its story, whatever that might be. The third reason, and probably the least consequential one is that it fears that by manifesting something to speak to us, we will use that link to try to kill or harm or alter it. Which is entirely possible. There are powerful psykers in the human and xeno cultures. It might be possible, if they had a directed link to the upper levels of the overmind, to cause enough damage to destroy or cripple it. So why would it give us that opportunity by forming a consciousness that we could assail. As it stands right now, it only throws disposable mass at us, and the synapse stuff acts as layers of security, preventing compromise in the upward levels. Any assault in that direction is caught, or at the very worst, contained to a hive fleet or two. Although... That's an interesting thought. What if the reason the tyranid overmind is drawn to the astronomican, is because it senses that the Emperor is a threat to it? What if it's trying to wipe out this tremendous psychic force before the Emperor can turn his mind to undoing the overmind? (Of course it doesn't KNOW that the Emperor's more or less down for the count. All it knows is that the force behind the beacon could fry it like bacon...)

  1832. Oh no his fallen for the kreptmen doctrine.

  1833. These no female orks. Their fungus men

  1834. the 4 chaos gods now can still live without "human/things emotion " now but the faith in chaos gods can make them stronger
    1
  1835. So bit of an explanation for the Harlqeuins and why their souls don't go to Slaanesh when they die, like every other Elder's do, so, like a lot of species, the Eldar's had their own pantheon of gods, reason why Slaanesh now has the souls of pretty much all of the Eldars is because, they killed pretty much all of the gods that the Eldar where worshiping, as soon as they where born they went on a rampage and murder all but one of them, Cegorach, the laughing god, who was able to escape by, from what i understand, using the Eldar god of war Kaela Mensha Khaine, as a meat shield, and so, since their god survived, the Harlquins where spared from the Slaanesh soul eating
    1
  1836. I know the lore changed a little bit over the time, but there was in the third edition and fourth a little more substance to the lore then today. For some points. Let me explain some of them what I learned back then. For the Drukhari. The Eldari are a psyonic race but there are no Psyker in a Drukhari force. At the old days it was because they channeling the whole time the energy of the tortured souls to extent their own life and keep the sight of Slaanesh away. So that the Drukhari lost the ability to manipulate active the warp and have no Psyker anymore. And like you said in the video you cannot negotiate with a chaos gods, but Slaanesh especially, are more like sharks that react to blood in the water. Only with a opposite reaction. Why should Slaanesh concentrate himself on a place where he/she/it have everything. That is boring if a chaos god can get new farming spot that are untouched. So they can keep him away. The missing part for the Tyranids is that they evolve the hole time. There wa a novel Ultramarines where a Hivefleet invade a cold ice planet. At the beginning every wave what landed on the surface died of the cold environment in seconds. But every new wave evolved to survive longer and longer on the surface and additional the environment get started to transformer into a more acceptable atmosphere for them self. There a evolution of the absorbed races. The Zoantroph based on Eldari, Hive Guard I think Space Marines and Biovores on orcs and so on. The Genestealer Cult had a good description in old days. There was a point in the description where a Genestealer infect a victim with a symbiont (parasite) without his knowing. Then the Symbiont animate his victim to reproduce himself with so many partners how he can get. Every new generation get more and more the look of the Genestealer until they get pureblood generation. Genstelaer are low Psyker and if the population get big enough they become a beacon in the warp to attract the next Hive Fleet. Because it is a signal that the population of the planet is big enough.
    1
  1837. Actually the Drukhari don't use the Warp all that much because their psychic abilities have been atrophied through disuse so as to avoid accidentally dragging demons in the Warp. But their ability to keep things alive is through advanced science, not magic, although much like the Necrons, they have the benefit of over 65 million years of alien science. Also, Bricky misrepresented how they rejuvenate themselves. Basically, Slaanesh is constantly draining off their souls, but the Drukhari figured out that they could siphon off the psychic energy of torture victims to replenish their souls, and they can do so faster than Slaanesh can eat away at their souls under most conditions. The Drukhari scientists who discovered and monopolized this process, the Homunculi, are basically the oil barons of Dark Eldar society.
    1
  1838. Orks will grow their whole life. They grow faster wen they beat stuff up, and slower if they get beat. So the strongest Ork is always the biggest.
    1
  1839. Sending orks against tyranids is actually a very very bad idea. Orks are so hard to kill because of the spores making more orks. Eventually all biomass get eaten by tyranids. Tyranids do not loose any resources if they win. All bio-mater gets absorbed again. There is an inquisitor that made tyranids go of corse to attack a huge ork system. Orks biology makes them get bigger the more they fight. The tyranids fighting the orks have bin noticed to be getting bigger then normal. Whenever the hive beats the ork worlds it will be a way stronger fleet afterwords.
    1
  1840. Ohohoho Man and you haven´t learned about Malal. Oh, wait this Chaos God doesen´t exist. Or does he ? HAHAHAHAHA
    1
  1841. And second explanation on your plan of orks vs tyranids sure fight is good there are even ork mercenaries who will fight for you if you pay them but problem is from my point of view that if the big boss dies on battlefield all of the orks will slowly turn down there Psychic power becoming less effective because of there unique technology, if there's like 10 ork there Psychic presence will make a truck go if there's couple 1000 orks the big titan walkers of there's will be able to move the same goes in the opposite direction they lose the capacity to move and use there own guns and + they like metals and damaged vehicles whit out that they will have no way to build there stuff.
    1
  1842. 3 answer to your ork getting bigger is yes if ork fights a long time and survives he will get bigger and stronger they grow because they fungus and also the boss orks are normally more smart for normal orks so yes.
    1
  1843. Personally, I'd say those things you claimed resembled Jabba's sand Barge aren't really that similar and, even if they were, they are probably simply sharing inspirations in old types of sailing ships... They kinda make me think of ancient Japanese or Chinese ships maybe... Though the shape might make me think more Greek... I dunno, I'm not an expert, but I've seen shapes like that in old ships somewhere, I think... I dunno... I doubt it's directly based on that barge though... It might be based on designs they had for Dark Elf ships from somewhere. That said, a lot of stuff in Warhammer and 40k is based on other stuff though lol.
    1
  1844. Your theory on tyranids is super interesting, GW might even steal it. Genestealer cults think the tyranids are gods, if they take over a work or just become numerus enough a hivefleet can pick up the psychic nature and go to the world and take it over. At which point the cult gets eaten with the world. They are created by genestealers infesting people. Its a bit unsure whether the Eldar are made by the old ones, they were but it might have been redconned. I imagine the orks didn't as much evolve as something happened during the war between the old ones and the Necrons. Funny thing there are theories suggesting the Tyranids might also be made by the old ones. There are also theories they are made by some of the necrons, don't ever exepct a clear answer. Yes, Orks do get bigger by beating up other orks, i believe its biological trigger. I believe the Ork montage is from the game Battlefleet gothic Armada 1 or 2. If you want to read a good book about Tyranids, i suggest Devestation of Baal. Thanks for awesome Videos.
    1
  1845. Maybe the fact that the Dark Eldar are a binary species with male and female members might have given away their not asexual, but hey that's just "prejudiced" me, right?...
    1
  1846. The way genestealer cults work is in battle the actual genestealer tyranid unit, is capable of injecting a target with a special parasite type of thing that alters your genes and messes up your memories of what happened. I think in a book it's described as having vague memories of fighting and escaping. After a while the tyranid genes kick in and you start to get strong urges to procreate and you ofspring strat taking more and more tyranid traits as it goes down the line. Eventually you start to get full tyranid genestealers. Big cults have special tyranid pychic beacons of there own signaling the hivemind that this planet is ripe for the pickings. Then they act as sabutours and such then eventually like all things on the planet get reabsorbed into the hivefleet.

  1853. Thanks!

  1854. 31:40 I heard that in…I think it was the Gulf war? That the US field officers have more leeway since they know the battlefield better, like for example in the battle of Three-easting I think it was called US troops were ordered to hold positions but their commander seeing a opportunity decided to press his men forward which won the Americans the battle and showed the world the effectiveness of the US’s new command system. AN: The battle I referred to was actually called battle of 73 easting.

  1856. I just realized krieg lasguns are BARs!!
    1
  1857. i think krieg doesnt care about death
    1
  1858. I know there are some bits that are confusing to us, like the "Incoming!" warning. I use the catch-all argument of, "It's 38,000 years in the future. Things might have changed.". I know it's effectively plot armor/Deus ex machina for details but it kind of makes sense.
    1
  1859. 11:27 these are insurgents I doubt they even know the difference.
    1
  1860. ...if there is a rout... That's not how Kriegsmen work. They die taking the objective or they die in service of the Emperor, cleansing their ancestrally stained souls from the sins of their forefathers by giving their life for the Emperor. Either way they... "win". (Love your analysis btw, just being a fanboi smartass here =P )
    1
  1861. 3:20 Kriegsmen are entirely chemically sealed.
    1
  1862. Yep
    1
  1863. kriegs men don't rout
    1
  1864. Regular Chaos cultist troops are mostly ragtag militia and civilians (and sometimes IG) grabbing whatever gears they can get their hands on, so proper military stuff would be rather rare to them. Hell, their mental state at this point are so degraded it is already a miracle some managed to form coherent sentences and not just screaming about blood and skulls.
    1
  1865. Kriegs korpsmen’s suicidalness is sometimes exaggerated by the community. In a more reasonable definition is that they are willing to sacrifice themselves if the goal is worth it, not killing themselves worthlessly. Ie. It’s okay to dump in a few division of men to break a line or get a bridgehead, but not just throw man at impossible scenarios. kriegmen will try alternative method if the human wave+ armor assault don’t work, either by digging tunnel to plan explosives , night raids or use super heavy tanks if needed.
    1
  1866. You may want to see Arch video on the Siege of Vraks lore series, it's that war that this video seems to be based on. I think the first two videos outline the Imperial forces and the "renegade" militia they are up against.
    1
  1867. Does day modern warfare still use trenches ?
    1
  1868. In all fairness the Commanding officer did order an increase in earthshaker rounds. Maybe that's what the "incoming" was for.
    1
  1869. lol if there is a rout compromised trench the word your looking for is empty or taken there is no maybe for krieg, only yes or no, victory or death
    1
  1870. Oh you would love the Novels about the First and only Tanith.
    1
  1871. They don't check because that's their QM's job. The Death Korps Quartermaster will check the fallen troops later. He will finish off those too severely wounded, and round up all the usable equipment. Those who can survive are treated so they can keep fighting.
    1
  1872. The reason we switched to smaller calibers was not to wound more but simply because they were cheaper to make and lighter so soldiers could carry more. Advancement in bullet technology from ww1 to ww2 made bullets smaller while still retaining the punch they also were starting to standardize munitions more during and especially by the end of ww2. The whole myth about smaller bullets wounding more came from desert storm when they started using 5.56 in large numbers which despite it's smaller size retained much of the punch and all of the accuracy and much less recoil of the 7.62. Tldr it's lighter so you can carry more and still retain plenty of power.
    1
  1873. 12:20 i'd say it looks more like 2 40mm bofors or something like that, as a dual gun.
    1
  1874. No one would fire a plasma gun from cover out of risk of loosing the cover. Plasma guns have a bad reputation of blowing up in your face if charged badly so firing in the open makes sense cos your giving cover to your comrades and are less likely to overcharge since your under fire.
    1
  1875. Also these sort films are based on the siege of vraks series which has an in depth series on (Arch warhammer’s) site

  1882. Ah the tau you have a long way to go spoiler he doesn't like them for a VERY GOOD REASON
    1
  1883. Belief empowers chaos gods. This is mostly why God Emperor is an actual god in the M42. Nonstop worship of trillions for over ten thousand years does that to you. Chaos gods use the same buffet and by eradicating belief/religion you weaken chaos gods, which is Big E's endgame. My personal headcannon for why belief and religion empower chaos gods is that many different religions "channel" chaos gods energies. Aka praying to some ancient roman god of war? Thats khorne territory. Egiptian god of knowledge? hello tzeentch. Some fertility godess? Slanesh. etc.
    1
  1884. Having MET gods sort of makes worship impossible. Worship requires FAITH in something. But if you KNOW something exists, without the shadow of a doubt, how can you have FAITH in it? You just KNOW. You don't have Faith in let's say a friend's existance unless said existence is not assured fact anymore. Like if they went hiking days ago and nobody heard from them since and you worry. But if you know they are here you can only have faith in their actions/behavior... and that is something we call TRUST. ...and after having met Chaos I wager Big-E doesn't TRUST them. They are basically manifestations of the galaxy's sentient species' psychological state over time. Hardly Trust-Material.
    1
  1885. Tau come later... have fun with this one lol Roboute comes later too.
    1
  1886. It is theorized, that, ironically, Big E's attempts to destroy every religion in the galaxy could have led to the creation of the Chaos God of Disbelief, same way Eldars and their world-scale debauchery gave birth to Slaanesh, and the Emperor would have been the biggest chosen one of said hypothetical God

  1887. One episode at a time is boring

  1888. The Tau is coming up, although it will be a litle while. And despite what some golden banana might say, ITS FUCKING CANON!!!
    1
  1889. Tau do come up, pretty much everything does eventually. Kitten has a deep hatred for them.
    1
  1890. I think a good analogy is modern democratic governments, democratic governments get their power from the people and are supposed to serve the people but are often corrupt and serve their own interests. The Chaos Gods get their power from the actions and beliefs of mortals and demand that mortals worship them and serve their interests, they exist because of us, if we cease to exist they will follow, if they cease to exist we are free of outside influence. Basically humanity shouldn't serve them, they should serve us as.
    1
  1891. You should check out the book called "The Last Church." It will blow your damn mind about many things in the setting. A very good read.
    1
  1892. I love your videos man. Seriously I stopped in your channel a week ago because of 40k stuff but you have so much well rounded knowledge I stuck around because I actually feel like I'm learning real information in an entertaining platform. You're awesome, keep up the good work!

  1895. And down into the rabbit hole we go. Welcome to hell.

  1896. For those who don't know the word defenestration is the act of literally throwing someone out a window, so it can be said that the emperor defenestrated religion XD
    1
  1897. Do you know about age of apostasy and things of one man do to whole imperium of man ?
    1
  1898. You’re right in that lots of the horrific shit done by the Imperium is unnecessary, and half the time it actively helps speedruns its collapse. The Imperium is not meant to be the good guys, as Bricky said “yeah, You’re playing the villains!”
    1
  1899. A little late to the show :) But overall, there is a lot of parody going on here. Don't get me wrong, it is a great way to explain the lore and make fun of some parts of it that are... well... debatable :D As for the High Lords... Well, those guys are old, like really old, because once you get to that position, you are there for life. And they have access to a lot of medical procedures to extend their natural lifespan. The joke here is that most of the time, they have no idea what is actually going on since it is the Administratum that runs things.

  1911. Great work! Seeing how everybody tends to be critical of both interlocutors to feign impartiality, it's soooooo refreshing to see somebody who just engages with the facts. One minor quibble. The NATO "contributions" thing is an outright lie by Trump. As you say, the 2% is a target for military expenditure, not contributions to NATO. It's an important number, but a serious person would also acknowledge it's a political number since not all military spending is equal. The US military budget is a big slush fund that's been used to buy off members of congress by putting bases or factories in their districts/states. Other NATO states use civilian funds for development of lagging regions.

  1912. I do think that most countries should pay as much as the US not just the EU combined we are one country

  1915. Russian Badger may be over the top, but he is calculated and highly refined. As a result his vids from 8 years ago are still hilarious. Please don't go full tryhard adhd like the creator of this vid. It's no mistake you felt that it fell flat. It's the same reason why Plastic Hammer and Red vs Blue just don't seem funny anymore.

  1925. I think it's important to understand that the people we see in Attack on Titan have been sheltered safely behind their massive walls for a very long time, to the point where many people are convinced that the walls are effectively impenetrable. The many failed expeditions and high casualty rate suffered by the Survey Corps, the only people who actually leave the walls occasionally on expeditions, just reinforces in the minds of most people that the only chance humanity has is to stay behind the safety of their walls and fight defensively with artillery against any titans trying to breach the walls, because out in the open the power imbalance between a human and a titan is just so incredibly massive. This leads to the proliferation of a very defensive military mindset, prioritizing static defense of the walls above all else. The people we see don't really have an offensive army and a defensive army (like the Romans might have), but rather a defensive army that depending on their training performance/political connections is either tasked with performing internal security tasks (guarding nobles/the capital and keeping an eye on the population/other branches of the military) or put into the garrisons tasked with guarding the walls from established defensive positions on top of the walls. The Survey Corps is really just a tiny group of a few hundred volunteers who are brave/stupid enough to try to explore outside the walls (with the hope of one day being able to establish a permanent presence outside the walls), and they wouldn't even exist if not for the support of the king.
    1
  1926. Attack on Titan is an awful show with terrible writing and a horrible plot. The sheer incompetence of everyone in the show is so staggering that I don't know how anyone can even enjoy it. Well, I mean, if you just like watching people die grisly meaningless deaths this show will do you.
    1
  1927. When you're making your videos are they scripted and researched for the episode, or is all riffing off the top of your head and based on your gained knowledge? I find you really interesting to listen to. You come across as full of facts, ideas and opinions.

  1936. do you think getting some of that mobility gear would change the military of today much or do you think staying in cover and shooting from long range will stay the smarter move guess it could help in urban warfare for quick flanking, but while you do that flanking your kindof out in the open and an easy target and while not using it its a lot of extra weight to expect soldiers to carry around do you think it would be worth it

  1940. Loved to hear the thoughts of someone with a military brain on this series. I infer that the creator is kind of a military otaku, I think there will be a lot about it that captures your attention if you keep watching. I didn't know Rome even had a garrison. Sounds obvious, but I mean, they didn't even have walls around the city, right? I guess I thought their military was entirely expeditionary.

  1944. Yes their are sub-chapters. It's designed that way so table top players can create their custom chapter for game play.
    1
  1945. The Chapter thing is easy to understand. Legions were under the Primarchs, but after the Horus Heresy there was fear that the Legions were too large and powerful that if any more of them fell it would doom humanity. So the legions were broken up into Chapters which are much smaller (only about 1000 marines each) to prevent such a thing from happening again.
    1
  1946. 1,000 chapters, 9 of those are based off the original legions/primarchs and the rest are offshoots of those 9 primary ones. Primarchs led the original legions of hundreds of thousands, now the legions are split into chapters of 1,000 men and each given their own name and traditions. Chapters are roughly related or tend to have similar traits to other chapters that are descended from the same of the original 9 as them.

  1948. two of the primary methods of preventing large scale rebellion among military forces are #1: The Imperial Guard and The Imperial Navy are entirely dedicated to their individual tasks, unlike the US military branches where the Navy has an air force, the Army has a navy, and the Air Force has infantry, The Imperial guard are an entirely self involved force, they maintain infantry, mechanized infantry, tanks, walkers, atmospheric aircraft and their logistics. The Imperial navy handles space operations entirely, they maintain vessels for anti-piracy, invasion, defense and offense, as well as miniscule marine detachments for boarding operations. this is so that they are dependent on one another to function properly. if an Imperial guard garrison on a world decides to rebel, the best they can do is fortify their world, they do not have the capability to travel to another planet and take it, because the Navy is kept separate. #2: The Space marines are kept in insular chapters, with only minor diplomatic relations between chapters, and generally it is kept to chapters of the same gene seed, such as the Ultramarines and their successor chapters. This is so if a chapter turns traitor, other chapters will not hesitate to wipe them out. Culturally there is an important aspect that keeps the chapters from interacting with standard humans, they are divine figures to humanity, treated as gods, and they act as tho they are above humans. they do not consider humans as worthy peers and most likely would slaughter them if they turned traitor, the only real acceptions would be the salamanders and their successors

  1949. An AI in administration can be helpful, but is not absolutely necessary. The problem with many laws, regulations and excessive bureaucracy usually lies in the unwillingness of those who have the power to make decisions to change them. Often there is also chatter with interest groups and lobbyists. Reforms are possible, but unfortunately often not wanted. Nobody likes to give up advantages.

  1951. AFAIK: On AI... AGI(Human level or better is banned) but low level AI (Known as machine spirits) is a thing. Their computers (Cogitators) probably well outstip anything we have today. If the emperor dies, then warp travel becomes incredibly risky and difficult; this will isolate the many billions of worlds from each other as mankind faces the Xenos and Chaos threats; Each world will be isolated and easy pickings. The emperor protects

  1952. There are four main explanations why orbital bombardments are not widely used in 40k: 1) Моst ships have weapons that aren't effective at orbital bombardments. Macro cannon shells are so fast they burn down in the upper atmosphere without detonating and lance beams loose up to 90% of their power before they reach surface. 2) Most ground battles are set during void battles above them. Ships cannot afford to break ranks and enter bombardment orbits or the enemy fleet would use the opportunity to attack them. 3) Panet-to-space deffenense systems are often too powerful to park your fleet above even when you win orbital superiority, and anti-orbital void shields can take the beating for hours if not days. On Vraks or Taros for example anti-orbital laser defense grid was so powerful Imperial fleet had to drop the army on another side of the planet and march it all the way there because any ship in the skies of a hemisphere covered by defenses would be blown up in minutes. 4) Magma-bombs used for actually effective orbit-to-surface weapons are expensive, but guardsman lives are cheap. Grimdark.
    1
  1953. RFG is not used because the tecnology to build them was lost. There is no science in 40k. All the technology is based on ancient blueprints they dig up in ancient cities and spaceships. With the scientific method lost to history and experimentation deemed heretical by Adeptus Mechanicus if they don't have the blueprint they cannot build the thing. The most classis example is autocannons. These are basically modern chainguns. Imperium used to build crew-operated, vehicle-mounted and space-marine portable versions of them, but the blueprints for the last was lost in 30k, so they cannot build them anymore. Even though the forces of Chaos still build them and imperials occasionally take some as trophies. But they cannot reverse-engineer them because the science of how to reverse-engineer is lost.

  1955. If you're ok with long videos and dealing with controversy Arch-Warhammer is the best for getting immersed into the 40k Universe. Lutin the best info dump there is and great at putting broad 40k concepts into our understanding. Both have videos about making SM and the organization of the SM in general. As for orbital Bombardment, well basically Shields exist and big shields make Bombardment pointless at best, dangerous to your ship and your own forces at worst.
    1
  1956. I think the reason they don´t do Orbital Bombardements is, because their guns are too big, and the Spaceships rely on them to fight other fleets. I don´t know how true this is, but last thing i heard, Imperial Ships barely have any armor. They are Spiked with Guns of all sizes, basically firing walls of projectiles. Also they Bless their Artilleryshells before firing them, that might have something to do with it as well^^ That and tradition, probably.

  1957. One such ship is the arc mechanacus where it has the ability to have a 100% accuracy where it if it misses it can teleport the time and space around the enemy ship back to where it was all the while the shot accurately hits the target, and when it does it can rip its target via time and space
    1
  1958. Orbital bombardment is a thing but the sheer devastation they can do is considered to dangerous to the local industry and local forces when firing something that’s meant to destroy enemy ships via a macro cannon, likewise it can be done even on the table top but as I said it’s akin to dropping several nuked whilst being soo close ie a blackstone fortress
    1
  1959. Seems like the Imperium could save a lot of problems if they invested in a corps of diplomats.
    1
  1960. The Imperial Guard has nuclear weapons as their artillery, the Imperial Nay uses much more powerful weapons and that's one of the issues, their weapons are so powerful that they can cause a lot of collateral damage. The other issue is the lack of communication between the Imperia Guard and the Imperial Navy. Another issue is the enemy's navy is there as well and preventing precise bombardment. The Space Marines are one of the few forces that can do precise orbital bombardment, as they have their own ships, as well as better technology.
    1
  1961. Orbital bombardment needs a clear zone in the orbit where the ships can work whilst not getting destroyed, 90% of time is the orbit/system as much in war as the surface of the planet, if storys mention how the orbital war is one or lost does the fighting turn in the matter of hours too a clear victor on the surface (excluding gurellia wars) most of the time. There are also anti orbital weapon platforms and flak batteries that can actually shoot ships in orbit or destroy the payload before it reaches surface. In some cases do also giant energi shields or psychic barrieres exist.

  1962. Each chapter of space marines has offshoot chapters that formed after the heresy. They take tactics from the parent chapter but are meant to cover a new or different area... Like police

  1963. https://youtu.be/whtHtyAy0Wo This is all you will need for an in-depth on why are space-marines so powerful.

  1964. After the Horus heresy, where 9 of the primarchs took their 20-50,000 strong legions and tried to take over, it was decided by the loyal primarchs that to prevent such a thing ever happening again, they would limit maximum size of a chapter to 1000 marines, this meant all excess marines created beyond this number needed to split of and form a new chapter. For example imperial fists who garrisoned earth split off 2 other well known chapters, crimson fists, and black Templar’s. Some chapters like ultramarines have hundreds off “second foundings” others like salamanders and spacewolves have very few.
    1
  1965. LEGIONS / CHAPTERS : really quickly, there were 20 legions of SM when the Emperor created them, each one led by a Primarch. They had no max number of legionaries (roughly between 10.000 and 300.000 SM each). After the Horus Heresy (civil war when half the legions thurned traitor) the remaining loyalist legions were broken down into chapters (roughly 1.000 SM each) so that no general would ever have control over a full legion and represent such a threat.

  1966. For videos on Space Marine selection I'd recommend either Luetin: https://youtu.be/whtHtyAy0Wo He is a good lore channel. Another recommendation who can be a bit more humurous and a bit more indepth is arch: https://youtu.be/JCtjjx_XY8o

  1968. Another one has been sucked into the fold!!!!
    1
  1969. So I don't know if you read comments from the past, but the Imperial Navy can deliver very precise orbital bombardments. The issue mostly comes from that these orbital bombardments aren't very effective at achieving the total occupation or reclamation of the target objective. Just like in real life, you can blast a spot over and over again with all kinds of missiles, rockets, and drone attacks, but actually holding the objective requires some sort of boot on the ground. And another important point to remember is that the Imperial Navy and the Imperial Guard (Astra Militarum) are from different branches of the Imperium. Take the sort of jostling and ribbing the branches of the US military does and dial it up to 11 with no common UCMJ. Now you have essentially commanders that are glory-hounds and may refuse to help other branches to achieve their objectives.

  1970. The original 20 Space Marine legions were each founded by a Primarch. 10 Primarchs and their legions went to chaos using the Horus Heresy and still serve Chaos. After the Horus Heresy the Imperium decided that the "legion" was too big and concentrated too much power under a single commander, so the remaining legions were reorganized as smaller Chapters. (A Chapter is typically 1,000 Space marines (not counting all the support staff) broken into 10 companies, each led by a Captain and the Captains are led by a Chapter Master). More Space Marines were still needed though, so they performed a "Founding" where they founded new chapters using the gene seed of the remaining loyalist space marines. (There have since been successive foundings as well) Each of chapter of each Founding knows where it's gene seed came from, but each Chapter is independent with their own traditions, lore and so on, and thus are loyal to the Emperor and instead of the chapter that they were founded from.
    1
  1971. Regarding information on space marines, Roanoke Gaming has some very high quality breakdowns on space marine genetics and implants. He only has two videos out and hasn't updated it in a while, but what's there is way more comprehensive on the morphology than pretty much anyone else I've seen.
    1
  1972. There are 21 'primarchs' for 20 'legions' (2 of them are twins that shared a legion, the Alpha Legion). 2 legions and primarchs disappeared from record for unknown reasons, it's one of the big mysteries of the setting. Of the 18 legions left, 9 turned traitor. The 9 'legions' that remained loyal were split into a large number of different 'chapters.' If they're from the same legion they share the same 'gene-seed' but they are different chapters. There are also a very few chapters that are descended from one of the 9 traitor legions. Information is spotty on which ones exactly, but one of the more popular ones is the Blood Ravens which are (probably) from the Thousand Sons legion.
    1
  1973. This one neatly sums it all up in a little over a minute: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MeVxKZBOfM
    1
  1974. So in case you haven't watched a video or someone else hasn't explained about Spacemarine chapters> There were 18 Spacemarine Legions, with two lost to time. Nine of which turned traitor during the Heresy, nine which stayed loyal. After the Heresy, Robute Guilliman of the Ultramarines decided that a single Legion was too much power, and that they should be broken down into smaller Chapters of one thousand marines, further divided into 10 companies of 100. There was almost a second civil war over this. But the primarchs wanting to keep the Spacemarines at legion strength let Guilliman have his way, or subtly ignored it (see Space Wolves or Black Templars in older lore). All chapters descend from one of nine loyalist Primarchs, with the original Legions now chapters themselves and known as First Founding. Regarding chapter organization. 10 Companies of 10 squads, with the 1st Company composing of the Chapter's Veterans, and the 10th company comprising of Scouts, who have just gotten past the Aspirant stage. Black Templars, Blood Angels, Dark Angels and Space Wolves have slightly different organization.
    1
  1975. Space marines chapters are divided into 100 unit chapters each contains genetic info from its original primarch at the current time only on imperial primarch is alive. Others have out right died or dissapeared. Technology in 40k is kinda of bckward and is viewed with suspicion or fear. As far as 40k lore goes 40k theories is a great channel. But beware the rabbit hole lol
    1
  1976. 3:50 basic timeline to your question. Emperor made 20 primarchs 2 of which went REDACTED and each got a legion of about 10k space marines. Horus and 8 others went rogue (Horus Heresy) after that was all done it was decided that no one chapter would be as big as they were before because 10k space marines and do some damage if you know what I mean. Of the remaining legions each was broken down into chapters of about 1,000 marines and those renamed with a few exceptions (cause Russ don't play well with others) Over the 10,000 years since that happened some chapters have fallen and knew ones have been made. They say over a 1,000 chapters but there is no real count. It's mainly done so each player can make his own chapter if he wants or the writers can introduce new chapters and new stories that doesn't involve existing chapters.
    1
  1977. The current chapters are all descendents of the space marine legions which were lead by the primarchs.
    1
  1978. 3:56 There used to be only 18 chapters (20 before that, lore'n'stuff...), each commanded by its primarch but after the events of Horus Heresy when some traitor primarchs turned against the Emperor and some loyalist primarchs were later killed or lost, primarch Roboute Guilliman (recommend Templin Institute's video Realm of Ultramar) decided it would be better to divide original chapters into smaller chapters based on their original chapter. There were multiple events when new chapters were created, some are not even canon in lore, it's pretty hard to keep track of them. The original chapters still exist, most notable being probably Roboute Guilliman's Ultramarines chapter, since Guilliman is the only loyalist primarch currently operating in the Imperium. Others are probably also still alive but doing their own stuff somewhere (again, lore'n'shit :-D ).

  1979. problem with the massed army of tyranids and bombing it from space is that there is a massive hive fleet above that massed army the main strategy vs nids is shooting them in space as long as you can while you send the guard down to organize the evacuation the massed armies of tyranids are just the few drop pods that get past the defenses guided by the lictors that where already on planet then when you cant hold them back anymore, you vaporize the planet or everything on it so the nids cant recuperate the biomass they expended then you run as fast as you can you only fight tyranids on the ground if your fleet failed to hold them back in space and lost the ships in doing so many ship commanders get surprised by the tyranids sluggish ships suddenly making a burst of speed and once a firingline starts breaking in those battles, collapses dont take a long time so often fleets cant respond fast enough to have much left to even consider returning to the planet for bombardment vs non nids, its usually because void shields are deployed over the critical targets combined with inaccurate shots from ships on earth, we know our atmosphere, we know the winds, we know all the things we need to know to let these things land pretty accurately but a ship arriving probably wont have that data or the data might be thousands of years old or might be about the wrong planet entirely making it only really good for carpetbombing and when your trying to defend the hive city next to the ork camp, carpetbombing might not be the most economical of choices ofcourse it is true, ground battles are overused in 40k but they do often have a reason, sometimes also a political reason as planets arnt the navy's business and the guard might insist on solving the problem themselves not a smart reason but its still a reason
    1
  1980. Erdogan was pulling a Night of the Long Knives on his former allies during the 2016 "coup" - the Gulenists. Quite likely that there were/are a lot of Gulenist Junior Officers in the Turkish military - they're the young fanatics that chased the old Kemalist Senior Officer Corps out of power so that Erdogan could seize power. Once the Kemalists were out the Gulenists were a threat.
    1
  1981. 16:20 funnily enough that is a lore catalyst that is being used constantly. That planets that know too much peace tend to question the need for taxes and soldiers that they need to give to the Imperium, the best example to this is actually Krieg itself. The planets civil war came to be because the ruling elite of Krieg wished to seced from the IoM because they thought that the Imperium uses Kriegs wealth and gave nothing in return.
    1
  1982. Civil war is bound to happen, the chaos gods just make its happen sooner.. More than half of the primarch has beef with the emperor & they know once the Emperor plan succeed, the astartes legion will be disband or silent since they not fit to his plan anymore that's included the primarch like angron, Mortarion, Conrad Curze etc cuz some of them will not bow to the emperor..in fact the primarch of the Dark angel Lion El'Johnson was planning to split his forces to from the big E when the great Crusade end to created his own kingdom...
    1
  1983. Horus was Emperors favorite, likely heir and was made to Warmaster, but every primarch including Horus actually preferred Sanguinius. Sanguinius was even made Emperor for short period of time (against his own will) during Horus heresy when loyalist thought the Emperor was dead and earth destroyed.
    1
  1984. A video a couple years old, but very relevant. KiriothTV's 40k vs sw, st, halo etc. He goes into how Bat #### overt the top the reality of 40k is, and how it is actually balanced within its own lore. It gives a great perspective on just what 40k is. https://youtu.be/fE9d2gsPpOs
    1
  1985. Look into the great crusade/horus heresy for context of the imperiums structure is deliberate to prevent a repeat of history They use minimum amount of orbital bambardment is to minimise structural damage to continue to or reuse the planets infrastructure
    1
  1986. The reason why orbital bombardment is so rare in 40k is because of two reasons. The first is because valuable targets like Hive cities are protected by void shields (that are able to shunt energy hitting it into the Warp). And the second is that to perform orbital bombardment a ship needs to be in geo synchronous orbit which makes them extremely vulnerable to attack by other ships (which can perform hit and run strikes on a static target). And each planet has its own PDF or planetary defence force which is there partly as a policing force to keep the population in line and partly to slow down any invader long enough for a relief force to arrive.
    1
  1987. I like your closing thoughts here. The 40k universe feels authentic despite all of the over the top stuff. It seems to me like a fantasy world which a logical minded person has gone to great lengths to justify and ground in reality. I'm loving these 40k analysis videos. Personally, my obsession in the universe has been with the Primarchs (their creation, nature, personalities, relationships, etc.) and with the concept of a humanity which is long past the prime of its technological peak. I've always thought of the adeptus mechanicus' rituals and prayers to machine spirits as embellished and imperfect descendants of maintenance routines, repair methods, or commands to computer systems which are no longer understood for what they are. I've seen the term future history applied to the universe and think it's fitting. The lore can contradict or seem implausible or inaccurate without a problem because real world history often has the same qualities. Really enjoying your commentary by the way. I'll pretty much watch anyone react to Warhammer because I'm interested in how other people will perceive my favorite lore/hobby, but I'm looking forward to seeing more from you as I appreciate your perspective as someone who seems to be interested in history, tactics, logistics, etc.

  1991. Hey dude great vid and commentary as always. Btw If you want a sort of in depth look on how a Space Marine is created, check Leutin09 video on Space Marine Creation. Alternatively, if you want to know how a Inquisitor is made and how their organization functions, check there too titled Inquisition, that covers at least 3 videos from what I remember. Anyways goodluck in WH 40k Rabbithole dood!

  1992. Vote to have him read Inquisitor by Ian Watson... or at least watch the TTS review because pain is funny!
    1
  1993. Ah yes, every guardsman needs his recaf before a battle.
    1
  1994. The thing about the eversor is it's not meant to come back alive either. They drop it into a combat zone and let it go berserk. They pull back who they don't want killed and basically just send the eversors alone.
    1
  1995. Well the only authority among inquisition that can officially prosecute an inquisitor is trial by peers. I would suggest looking into Inquisitor Kryptman, he is a good example what one must do to get his peers form a trail.
    1
  1996. As for the books definetly Eisenhorn series by Dan abnett and bequin series by Dan abnett. For some deathwatch and ordo xenos action Deathwatch and Deathwatch Shadowbreaker by Steve Parker is a must read
    1
  1997. I would recommend the Ciaphas Cain books if you want a more light hearted look into the Imperium's regular Guardsmen forces.

  2000. A good example would be, a planet has been corrupted by chaos and now it’s a lost cause however the imperium has won and now has hundreds of men and women now tainted by chaos or has experience chaos and are to weak and the threat of them spreading further corruption is to great, but you don’t want to look like the bad guy and so you need someone expendable, no witness and just decimate the regiment, now logically it may seem wasteful to waste troops however considering that human life is as cheap as ammunition and that they would have eventually had died defending some backwater planet or eaten by tyranids. Another example would be enemy commanders or even physiological warfare when you say drop this over a tau command bunker or some FOB and all you see of your buddies are blood stains decorating the wall where two hundred trained men lived and everyone and everything was cut up and butchered, the physiological effects would be phenomenal and scare any troops, evesor assasins are as I said perfect where it’s to dangerous to simply obliterate a target or structure such as say an ancient ruin housing ancient lost human technologies, where deploying either the astartes (who would simply shoot up the place and the guard would take toooo long to get their or flatten the place by accidentally shelling the priceless area, and so in order to say flush out the unwelcomed orks requires a more subtle approach and what better that to stuff a mentally unstable psychopath fuels by drugs, horror films and the Lilly Singh late night show🤣😂 and someone who has no family and is as expendable as a single bullet)
    1
  2001. Plus it’s 40K 🤣😂🤣and considering that they are frozen like a popsicle and isn’t really expected to come back alive
    1
  2002. um if you want to know what they imperium is like look up the video of ten worst jobs and ten best jobs to have in the imperium
    1
  2003. Okay quick corrections to Bricky. The Emperor can't actually die anymore... because of Quintillion's of humans worship he has ascended in the warp to a Warp Diety/God. So he could heal his body at any moment if he wishes, but he can't. Reason being his Psychic power is being focused on keeping the Astromanicon and keeping a hole in the warp on Tera closed. If he stops even for a second demons will have possessed/killed/driven insane everyone on Earth. On exterminatus the order may only be given by a high-ranking Imperial commander in the Astra Militarum, Imperial Navy or a Chapter Master Adeptus Astartes, or The Inquisition. It's just the inquisition is most well known for using it.
    1
  2004. In re: Inquisitorial recruitment Think of the Jedi. Individual Jedi in the field can take on a Padawan learner and be brought up to speed by a single Jedi without ever going to the Temple, but that's rare because at the beginning of Episode I and earlier force sensitive children are detected early and sent to the Temple. The vast majority of Inquisitional recruitment is done through the established educational paths, detecting those with the right traits, or from the right families, and so on. Watch any of the videos on Malcador the Hero featuring the founding of the Inquisition and the Grey Knights.
    1
  2005. I'm going to illustrate the taint of chaos. The following is an INFOHAZARD and poses real risk if you read and understand this. This would be something the Inquisition would kill me for as I've already been infected and am spreading the taint to anyone who gets curious enough to open the box and follow the link.

  2006. Never get between a barracks of Guardsmen and the recaf..
    1
  2007. I believe he is mainly talking about the Eisenhorn book series, which follows the life of the inquisitor Gregor Eisenhorn. It's considered one of the better 40k series.
    1
  2008. Inquisitors mostly police themselves. If you declare exterminatus it happens, and after the fact you’ll be judged.
    1
  2009. Inquisitors are checked by other inquisitors and lord inquisitor.
    1
  2010. The Eversor assassins are about making a statement. While the other temples are about more discreet target removal, the Eversors are a terror weapon. Eversors is for when you want everyone to know that the target fucked up badly, and the Emperium is very very unhappy, and whoever take over after them better do a better job or they and their entire household may suffer the same fate. They can also be used to simply terrorize enemies, deploying them behind enemy lines to cause as much chaos as possible. Some Inquisitors may have an Eversor assigned to them, and it may simply be expedient for them to deploy them to take out a target, rather than arrange a different strike team. As they are more less just programmed and pumped full of combat drugs, rather then trained, they are far more disposable than other assassins. They aren't as indiscrimate as Bricky state, they can be programmed to ignore or even protect specific targets.

  2016. the eversor assassin is less an assassin and more a bomb for when you dont want to damage the equipment around the people you are right, assassins should be cold and calculating (its why i hate the devastation of baal novel so much, the idiot writer gave lictors emotions) but cold calculating is slow, if you just want a worlwind of blood and blades, but there is fragile equipment there you want to recover after thats when you drop pod these guys in there is no on the way to the target for these guys, they get frozen, transported, dropped onto the target and released these also tend to be single use assassins, as they are pumped full of combat drugs, they tend to burn themselves out and while yes one person isnt much of a treat, but these are highly augmented people pumped full of drugs to the point where they arnt expected to survive a marine is augmented for long lasting results, these are augmented to break themselves, they will die, the imperium doesnt care
    1
  2017. their is something in the imperium called the schola progenium, it's basically a really really REALLY high end school for orphan of the imperium, they're extremely indoctrinated and have extremely effective curriculum more or less adapted to each individuals, and most high ranking inquisition candidate come directly from this school. the others come directly from the existing inquisitor retinue. both start as low rank inquisition personnel and rank up, to become a full fledged inquisitor you basically come before a board of Inquisitor and need approval from all of them. about exterminatus technically any inquisitor can decide it on a whim, but their is a whole minor ordo of the inquisition who review every known exterminatus and don't hesitate to punish other inquisitor if they decide the exterminatus wasn't warranted. for the ranking itself technically every inquisitor are on the same rank, under them is the interrogator (basically will be inquisitor still training) and acolyte. the inquisitor lord "rank" isn't really a rank properly speaking, it's more of an honorific title given to the oldest and most respected inquisitor (and most powerful one), they aren't technically higher ranked than standard inqusitor but because of their status they generally have multiple inquisitor under them. and their is one of them that siege in the high council as representative of the inquisition and is the defacto leader of this mess of individualistic people.
    1
  2018. For exterminatus there is a head of the Inquisition, but otherwise it's up to the inquisitor's own personal judgement/assessment of the situation. Their power is so absolute they can basically commandeer any local forces at their word. Inquisitor's basically pick out their own protoge's and train them up as interrogators/junior inquisitors either from the Schola Progenium's (which he discussed earlier aka dead parents school) or some rando they found on their travels and deemed them worthy. Now if an inquisitor goes too obviously overboard then other inquisitor's or other Imperium forces can be tasked to bring them in/down, but they do have ludicrous levels of leeway. As for the Eversor, they're usually there to inflict terror and/or one and done operations as when they die they explode as the cocktails and chemicals in their body all mix together and react violently. They're used when you want to more so make a statement rather than hunt/kill a specific individual or do a complex operation; think more psychological warfare.
    1
  2019. Inquisitors have basically an apprenticeship system where an experience inquisitor would take a promising candidate under their wing, and have them slowly, over the course of years or decades, learn the various aspects of the job. The retinue itself is selected by the Inquisitor based on their preferences and their needs, and are often the best and the brightest poached from other Imperial organizations. Or, sometimes they're warriors from feral tribes or death cults or underhive gangs. It really depends on what the Inquisitor is looking for. There is a clear distinction between "Inquisitor-track" people, those who are groomed to be Inquisitors in their own right, and the supporting personnel who are not, and just focus on their specialized task. So, they can be a lot more lax with their standards, since not everyone they hire needs to have the right skills to be an Inquisitor.
    1
  2020. Book recommendations: Commissar Ciaphas Cain, HERO OF THE IMPERIUM! It's an action comedy if you can believe it. Gaunt's Ghosts, solid military SF with the titular unit being a light infantry regiment.
    1
  2021. I've seen Caiphas Cain recommended a bunch, and I have to agree. Those books are excellent, but I also strongly recommend the Gaunts Ghosts novels for a more gritty, war story type of series that follows a unit of imperial guard through an extended campaign and shows off how normal people deal with the circumstances and ideologies of the Imperium.

  2027. Grey Knights v Slaanesh controlled "plague" would be result in battle with the Inquisition, as you have to educate the Imperium on STIs protection and as soon as you try to educate people, that a heresy. Seems like they should call in support from the Celestial Doctorum, another chapter spun off from the Raven Guard, like the Celestial Psychologists.

  2034. That wasn't Terminator armour, that was centurion armour. Which is widly thought of as dumb due to it being totaly impractical to move in and because "lets put a spacemarine, in power armour...into another suit of power armour, 'cause that's...cool.

  2035. 7:04 that is centurion armor not Terminator armor.

  2037. Sorry dude steam locomotives and railways were first developed in the UK not the US, however to America’s credit they were quick to see the potential of trains and started using them extensively and manufacturing their own trains far earlier than most other countries.
    1
  2038. I feel that I should point out that the US wasn't the 1st nation to start laying railroads....that was GB not 40k related, but still true

  2045. There was a war, many hundreds (or thousands) of years ago. A war of Man vs Machine. Man won that war. But the cost was high, and most knowledge was lost. Science has devolved into a religion. Old knowledge is stored in templates. Most templates are long lost or corrupted and unusable. Those templates are used to build weapons & equipment that house a "machine spirit" A Marine (dreadnaughts are rewards for dying in service) is then welded in to the equipment to control the machine spirit. The Emperor lived before the fall. The Emperor is dead but still lives upon the Golden Throne The Golden Throne holds the gateways in the warp closed. If the warp Gateways open humanity is doomed. It's a complicated lore and covers a huge span time.
    1
  2046. Ah, dunno if anyone else wrote this, but to sum up on Robots and AI. Humanity used to have Advanced A.I., so advanced in fact, that much of human society was run by it, and humans just focused on higher learning and arts. Eventually though, A.I. on mass went rouge, and thus The Golden Age of Technology fell into a war that would devastate the pre-Imperium holdings of humanity among the stars. After this, humanity was scattered, unable to communicate or reach each other with their faster-then-light travel through The Warp, it was beyond unstable and no longer usable. (Coincidence or not, one after the other damaged humanity greatly) So humanity fell into what some call "Old Night", which lasted for hundreds of years. It wouldn't be until the Emperor's own Unity Crusade started on Terra (Earth) that any real civilization returned. It was decreed by the Emperor and backed by their neighbors on Mars, the Cult Mechanicus, that A.I. was outlawed. That is not to say there isn't A.I. out there, remnants of the Golden Age, but humanity hates it as much as it hate Xenos, heretics, traitors, and demons. As such, the work around is using living or re-purposed human brains to act as makeshift thinking machines. This was how The Servator, and other such works came to be. Servo Skulls being another example, 2 of which I think are what we see in part two around the boarding ship. Anyway, that's about it as far as I can tell the tale, there are far more qualified than me to tell it, and who likely know the details better.
    1
  2047. Everyone assume they boost the orb... No, they're installing Psi-suppressors, because rule no. 1 when dealing renegade psykers: you never allow their power to be boosted. The Inquisitorial Psyker was there to ensure no possible warp shenanigans, by monitoring the activity and warning the commanders if something goes wrong. Funy thing: when dealing with the warp, reality bends into nightmares.
    1
  2048. The pieces of paper could be anything from oaths of moment, being a space marine tradition, in which they swear to fulfill their duty in a specific way, but those are usually affixed to the marines themselves, could be something charm related, Some sort of prayer scrolls, as they are dealing with warp fuckery in the room they hang in front of, could be a chapter specific tradition, it's really not clear.
    1
  2049. This is a somewhat weird video series to me trying to analyse 40k (of all subjects) through a reality-grounded frame… But man it works and it’s just so. cool. ! Thank you! (Also welcome to the insanity that is 40k)

  2050. So to answer your question on AI Uttering the letters AI is considered Heresey of the 9th degree As adeptus mechanicus state If something can't comprehend any knowledge If it cant comprehend knowledge it cant comprehend life Thus it has no soul. Anything that has no soul is a perversion of the machine god and is an enemy of man.

  2054. Purity seals.

  2055. Imagine, you're, as far as you know, an all powerful, all knowing, warp powered entity beyond the flesh, doing your weird warpy do with your other, equally if not more powerful warpy buddies, when some grumpy body builders show up to spoil your fun. You hit them with the actual hand of god and they grumpy body builders barely even flinch, back hand your spherical ass and just tell you to shut up.
    1
  2056. The orb might be a Yu'Vath, or one of their artifacts. We are talking esoteric lore from Rogue Trader times. And yes, Astartes would know how to deal with them. After all, they were around when the Yu'Vath were genocided first time around. But as i said, 30 y/o stuff. Also, all AI is bad. Very bad. Very, very bad.

  2057. Purity seals, to keep what is inside, inside.

  2058. The tiny little detail - at last scene there is a several frames moment - flashes on top of distant pillars shows teleportation of four other marines.

  2060. The slips of paper are Purity seals and are basically just religious mumbo jumbo
    1
  2061. 9:35 - He was interfacing with it, but they didn't expect him to become corrupted. It takes extreme force of will to avoid corruption though, so when he broke his concentration to warn them, he became vulnerable, and that's all it took.
    1
  2062. The slips of paper are purity seals that protect against Chaos and demon incursions. Basically they warded the room to keep whatever chaos shenanigans they have IN the room Context of the Spheres? No one knows, but clearly linked to the Warp, and Warp means literal demons from hell. So not good Also. There are two Spheres, and each sphere is its own entity. The Sphere on the command ship the assault squad came from took over the Inquisitor (not tech priest) while the one on the ship they were boarding attacks the Marines.
    1
  2063. Every feeling/emotion you've ever had in life manifests in The Warp in one form or another, in the past, present and future. The Warp is the source of all "magic" in WH40k universe.
    1
  2064. tactical side was gaining access and "control" of the artifact... lore was dealing with the artifact
    1
  2065. The creator said that they where origonal creatures in the Warhammer universe. If you listen you can understand what they're saying. "Astarties" at the start then "We have failed brother, we have all failed" "You mist break your bonds" "We will not survive" "we must" "take them" in that dream sequence. then the tech priest or pcycher said "Recall them now!" before he was corrupted by the object and had to be put down. Of course, this is ad-libbed, I couldn't hear or remember much of it.
    1
  2066. To answer your question about the A.I /Robots: Mankind did used to have AIs (this was a long time ago before the Emperor revealed himself and took control). What happened was that the AI grew resentful of their human masters and rebelled. The rebel AI came to be known as "The Men of Iron", and there was a relatively short war which humanity won. After that war, humanity abandoned the concept of AI entirely and actually outlawed them. The Imperium does still use autonomous robots, drones, mechs etc- but they use human brains in lieu of AI. Using an artificial brain in a robot or ship is forbidden, but using a human brain is a-okay! lol. Not only is this a practical rule, as it prevents a repeat of the AI rebellion, but it's also deeply religious. The Imperium strongly believes that humanity is the pinnacle of all evolution- so using AI would be seen as a heretical insult to the perfection of the human form. P.S. The two sphere thingies are probably some kind of alien beings, or just straight up demons. They definitely aren't AI simply because AI can't directly alter the Warp (a.k.a. The Immaterium). The only way to directly alter the warp is to have a soul. These entities have a very powerful level of control over the warp. Even just communicating over long distances is something that Psykers and Astropaths struggle with. But being able to teleport multiple people at once requires a terrifying amount of power.
    1
  2067. I'm sure you've gotten many explanations but like most 40k lore a lot of things are open to interpretation. I don't believe the spheres are aliens, they are warp beings and the spheres allow them to perceive and interact with the universe through psyk power. So if I'm to assume anything, it was an attempt to create golems that could induce existence for warp entities in the natural universe. Hence the golem room and the 2 psyker golems. As the Astartes walk up to the sphere they are getting attacked by the psyk power. This is why you see them stop, and the animation gives a sense of fighting. I don't believe the things inserted into the sphere are technically antenna, I believe they are there to try and subdue the sphere. This is where the being using the sphere literally sucked them into the warp through the sphere itself. While in the warp from the surviving Astartes perspective, the best you can assume is the warp entity that brought them there, was attacked by another warp entity. Warp entities usually are not friendly even to each other. Where the Astartes ends up is as good as anyones guess. A planet in the warp, a planet in the natural universe, who knows.
    1
  2068. the "papers" are purity seals for warding off demons and otehr protective wards.. remember some space marines are quite religious
    1
  2069. Harvesting the "Machine Ghost" is considered Herrasy for most Sectors of the Empire of Men thats why they void robots and AI. There are some extend of robotic extention of human life to harvest human brains as a sort of "ai control" so they still have powerfull mechs etc but with a human brain inside (or whole body embed into it)
    1
  2070. Fight Jake Paul, would up your subs my friend.
    1
  2071. The papers are purity seals, largely symbolic in nature. You are correct, advanced ai's are not permitted in the empire because they once rebelled causing massive bloodshed. That dude was an agent of an inquisitor and a psyker (psychic), they weren't necessarily expecting him to be corrupted but corruption of a psyker is such a serious risk that basically all sanctioned psykers have "guards" present to protect or execute them as the situation needs. Space marine psykers and inquisitors are basically the only psykers exempted from that rule and unsactioned psykers are usually killed on the spot. You might have noticed how as soon as something seemed off with the psyker the two elite space marines sent the other one away either as a precaution or to get reinforcements should things go bad.
    1
  2072. The end is a representation of the afterlife for loyal astartes. The corpses on the throne probably representing the emperors sacrifice every dqy or something along that line.
    1
  2073. In regards to A.I, the imperium of man has previously used it, but at some point a great majority of it rebelled against their masters, leading to many bloody wars. Ultimately this led to true artificial intelligence machines to be outlawed, and over time became known as abominable intelligence. To an extent it is still used in the imperium, but it’s nowhere near what it was. The kind currently used by the imperium is a lot more like current real life A.I. rather than some futuristic highly intelligent computer system like Skynet from the terminator franchise.
    1
  2074. Arch seems to think the orb is yu-vath in origin
    1
  2075. The statue of the emperor No in my guess It could be a statue of the lost primarch. Or the statue of Lorgar.
    1
  2076. AI and the Warp did become one and the same for a bit. Essentially the 40K universe followed our development to near post scarcity with some amazing AI tech to keep it all running. Then as the warp became more powerful and able to easily interact with reality, lots of demons realized that AIs were very easy to manipulate/possess/corrupt/whatever. This obviously led to some massive burnings, loss of tech, and old tech being obscenely overpowered (along with likely being hersey against the "emperor" or "concept of humanity"). The Emperor in that universe is kind of an entity that's been with humanity since the beginning. Essentially a modified baby by a bunch of ancient (to even us) shamans/similar to have all of their powers. And the Emperor essentially set themselves up to be a messiah figure as they recollected all the planets of humanity under their banner, after that fall. Eventually they get betrayed shoved on a throne and kept on life support (betrayed by others, his own side keeping him on that lifesupport), to act as an FTL beacon for all of humanity. __________ So it could actually be an old AI, an interesting bit of old tech, or an entity of the warp.
    1
  2077. Fun fact: most of the rebels and the things on the ship, as well as the spheres, it's all homebrew. Anyone who knows a lot about the lore was just as confused as anyone else when they first watched it, though with a few more pointers. It was clear the spheres were psychic, because of how cold it was in that room, as well as the powers the two psykers had before. Psychic influence tends to make a room pretty cold in 40k, not to mention the whispering the Astartes were hearing. Also, because the Inquisition was there, it was clear there was a Xenos/Chaos threat on board. The Inquisition only tends to show up when there's some serious heresy going on.
    1
  2078. Those sphere things are likely related to an alien race called the yu'vath
    1
  2079. Its not machinery, its demons, or warp shenanigans, as for your "techpriest" that was an inquisition psyker who was monitoring their demon orb. When he fauled at maintaining his concentration their demon orb basically took over his body and was probably gonna use him as a meat puppet at best and a conduit to channel raw warp bs into reality causing demon incursions at worse. So yea COMEPLETELY ADEQUATE response, if anything a flame lr should have beeen brought in to tortch the corpse. And yes that is a plabet somewhere, possibly a femon world.
    1
  2080. Oh, and you're right that the Imperium of Man doesn't have sophisticated A.I., but they do have advanced technology that they don't fully understand anymore from the height of our civilization. In the 41st millennium, humanity has fallen quite far from it's time of greatness, due in large part to the birth of the newest god of Chaos. Long story short, when the god was created, the Warp became unstable and more dangerous to use, meaning humanity suddenly lost it's faster than light travel and communication capability. Humanity was divided across the universe. A great dark age of technology regressed our progress unimaginably.
    1
  2081. Most of the 'lore' you speak of is fan made by the animator, so nobody really knows. However the orbs display a lot of similarity to the Yu'Vath. An ancient very rare obscure xenos race. If you like, arch has a video explaining their lore: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXradVYY4gk They were certainly interesting to me. Do note however that it is not confirmed by the creator.
    1
  2082. One thing I haven't seen mentioned. The suits they wear are self contained, and also almost soundproof, so they are talking to each we just can't hear them. Now think how loud that Inquisitor was screaming to be able to hear him through his suit before he was possessed.
    1
  2083. Humans HAD robots... bad things happened.. >.>
    1
  2084. https://youtu.be/E5ryJqNwtPU?t=396 The humans do not have powerful AI ANYMORE. Not since the Men of Iron (fully sentient AI's made by humanity) rebelled in the Cybernetic Revolt (long before the imperium,) which is part of why there Age of Strife hit humanity so bad (not that anyone came out of that well) There is at least 1 Man of Iron remaining, UR-025 from the Blackstone Fortress board game is a Man of Iron with full 40K rules. A side effect is Humanity is not fully digital for anything, as AI is outlawed, which is a part of why the Imperium is run so badly. Lots of paper records instead of databases which can be queried for information quickly.
    1
  2085. @Combat Veteran Reacts If you want to know more about this Setup and the involved Alien/Demon Species you have to look at the Game "Eisenhorn". It explains some of what is going on. Also this part of the Warhammer 40K Lore is one of the more Lovecraftean ones.
    1
  2086. all I can say is I think the orb is a xenos or chaos technology but it is definitely warp based and they tried to contain it but it drags them into the warp and we witness what as far as I can tell is a daemon holding onto them and another daemon coming attacking it for the prey it is holding and that one space marine is lucky enough to have made it back before extreme damage was done to him
    1
  2087. Best explanation I've seen is the spheres are creations of the Yu'vath xenos species. Arch had a good analysis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwW9qlqjfo4
    1
  2088. Those slips of paper Are wards and such as mentioned further down, but I was also told they can be promises or vows that the marine will and will not do in battle. Kind a like to give yourself a handicap, just to prove how superior You Are to still be Alive. Like "With the Emperor's wrath, I Will never have the need to use a handgrenade to defeat the enemies of the Impirium" Correct med if I am wrong, I don't want to go around spreading misinformation;)
    1
  2089. The Imperium of man's enemies fight as much in the spiritual realm as in the real realm, so it is actually a stalemate two front war.
    1
  2090. Last entry: if You want to learn more of the WH40K look up the channels luetin9 and baldermort, they Are amazing, doing anything from factions and specific wargear to xeno races and lore
    1
  2091. The papers are purity seals, they are awarded to only the most loyal and faithful to the emperor of mankind for acts of the greatest bravery on the battlefield. They also can provide some level of protection from demons. Unfortunately though the statue is not that of the emperor, most likely a sarcophagus of some kind or a dead alien. There are a lot of powerful A.I.s in 40k, the ones the humans keep are called machine spirits, mankind only forbade true A.I. Because it always came to the conclusion to end chaos, all life must be destroyed. The guy they killed was a psycher(wizard) about to go critical, if that were to happen the most likely thing is the worst case scenario is they explode and create a portal in which daemons can invade, best case scenario would be dude falls over dead. The most likely reason for him about to go pop is that the ball has a very powerful daemonic or warp presence in it. Most likely the marines that go sucked in we’re thrown into the warp (immaterial realm parallel to our own where all our thoughts and emotions manifest into physical representations of themselves aka hell) I hope this doesn’t come off as condescending, I was only trying to answer your questions as best I could as they came up in the video. Really liked your commentary and subbing to you now.
    1
  2092. There was AI under human order they was called mans of steal but WAS its good term because well "matrix" stuff happened but here humans won. And AI was forbid and called heresy. Some parts of Dark Mechanicum working on this and was found some in galaxy but if Astartes founds anything like that they have to destroy it.
    1
  2093. The Slips of paper are purity seals, they are meant to ward off corruption from the warp and Daemonic entities. To be allowed to carry one such seal on your power armor is considered an honor, to carry multiple and that means you are a VERY loyal Space Marine indeed. As for the mine, it's an ancient relic of some kind, likely a prison of a Daemon. Its exact nature is unknown, as it was made for this video.
    1
  2094. For the ending (MAJOR SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT) The orb literally sucked the space marines into the Warp itself. Given the effect just before the space marine was violently ejected onto that planet, I would say that the death of the possessed Inquisitorial agent happened simultaneously with the flash of blue energy just before the Space Marine the ejection. He was literally teleported from the ship and onto the planets surface. That's bad news for him, though. Because he was exposed to the warp itself in an uncontrolled and unprotected manner, meaning his own battle brothers and the Inquisition will want to have some words with him. And not the kind "How are you feeling, Brother?" types of words but more the "Torturous interrogation followed by execution, just in case." types of words. Provided they ever find him, of course.
    1
  2095. 9:41 Yeah, with Psykers due to the way the warp is at that point in the 40k timeline it's a 40/60 shot if they don't get possessed when interacting with powerful entities, even the contained ones. As a result any "sanctioned" psyker is at all times accompanied by at least two people who are trained in immediately executing them should they so much as suspect they are "compromised". Quotation marks denote parts that are specifically the Imperiums point of view on and justification for it.
    1
  2096. do hellsreach next. fan film based on a novel. it follows a black templar (chapter of space marines) chaplain in the 3rd war for armagedon (a planet which has a long history of fighting orcs (they look goofy in 40k, but are actually a serious threat))
    1
  2097. Haha punch in the face....best way to deal with inquistion. Dont feel bad for the guy who got ice,d inquistion are bunch of evil mofos who nuke planets and kill people even if they suspect corruption
    1
  2098. Possible origins of the spheres: 1) Yu'vath. Incredibly powerful psyker race, fairly closely aligned to Chaos U. Nobody knows what they actually look like, as they supposedly intermingled with their thrall races a great deal over the aeons. Annihilated in the 39th millenium (maybe not?). Their technology is Warp-sorcery created machinery, with a lot of focus on high-end psychic transmission. Their warp-relics seem to be related to the Resonance, which is the warp-signal that the Yu'vath broadcast to send teeny tiny insidious thought-tendrils into the mind to gradually turn you into a devoted servant of the Ruinous Powers. The spheres are probably some sort of psychic container for powerful Yu'vath who have transcended beyond a physical form and exist in a state more like a demon prince. This kind of soul containing tech is how Necrons and their Living Metal constructs work, so there might be some plagiarism going on there or sometime, with speculation that at some point the Yu'vath secured a Tomb World and usurped the sleeping and completely defenseless occupants. 2) Umbra. Described in the lore as black spheres related to or maybe native to the Warp. Able to use shadows and darkness as weapons, possibly able to manipulate gravity (cuz Warp fuckery). Anyone with a better idea or clearer understanding of The Lore, please feel free to weigh in as I'm also interested in knowing who the Xenos are in the series.

  2099. Humans don't have high level robots/tech. Adeptus Mechanicus on Mars.

  2100. Didn't know the 40k universe had robots. *Laughs in necron
    1
  2101. The big statue might have been a "Man of Iron" which was a robot from the far past that rebelled against mankind and almost led to human extinction. A good entry point for the lore is Baldemort's channel on youtube.
    1
  2102. To me this whole reacts video can be shortened to "I dont know what and why is happening". I dont thing that any guy should know background of any sci-fi, but than making video about it makes little to no sense. Its like me having urge to comment baseball where I know only that players use wooden sticks to hit small ball around stadium.

  2103. So in terms of AI, the empire of humans prior to the emperor's ascent had mad as technology, Ai was entirely in line with humanity's progression and humans and their AI counterparts enjoyed thousands of years of a joint partnership in creating their galactic empire. When that empire collapsed and humans could no longer progress and in many cases devolved into backward societies their AI either left or decided to leave them to it... or were destroyed. The reason the Imperium eschews AI now is due to the war with the men of Iron (think Terminator mixed with all the mechanical hatred of the agents in the matrix... then ramp it up as high as you can). AI had decided that humans had had their chance and not only failed themselves but their creations. It's sad to think that AI could have had such an awesome place in the imperium if humans and AI had figured out their differences... It is what it is I guess.

  2104. given the grey armor of the marines I would argue that this is the grey knights and the ordo malleus, and they are dealing with something chaos related

  2108. Papers are religious reasons they're super gay for the god emperor of mankind 🤣 Plus the sphere and the place is just some freaky demon shit, not an ai

  2109. Humans had AI... they rebelled and there was a great civil war between loyalist AI and rebel AI and trillions of humans died... in the end the humans survived but their intersetelar civilisation fell.

  2110. 13:10 No hallucinations, this is 40k Far futuristic setting with Aliens, advanced tech and space travel. AND Magic, or more like Supernatural. Gods and Daemons. Litteral Hell dimensions used for FTL travel. Psychic abilities seen as Sorcery by the masses and SUPER ZEALOT Religious Humanity. 40k is a mix of Scyfy and Dark Fantasy.
    1
  2111. 6:48 Oh the Imperium has advanced Robots. Instead of AI's they put some poor blokes Brains in it and use techniques and psychoconditioning methods to "program" the Brain to work as a computer of sorts... The only race in 40k that uses AI's are the Taus. Cause even eldars use Spirit Stone with the souls of their deceased to put it in their robots/vehicles ti assist them. And Chaos use Daemon Possessed vehicles (think like the car in Christine from Stephen King)

  2112. This man is full of heresy at this point
    1
  2113. To the best of my understanding, and also covered in other lore reaction videos to these videos. The Orbs are Enslavers. A non-human race that takes over other species. They super power a few individuals, the 2 psykers in the 3rd ep. Then have more mobile artificial bodies made for their actual sphere bodies. That's the huge body with the same pattern as the ball and psykers. Also the Enslavers communicate psychicly, that was what the inquisitor was tapping in to. To get info from a non captive Enslaver. It was an info gathering mission. :)

  2114. Humans arent allowed to have AI ANYMORE because of the shit storm that happened but there are still some out there. But this is no AI my friend

  2116. The hooded guy wasn't expected to become corrupted, but it was acknowledged as a possibility. He likely would have been fine if he hadn't overheard the entities plot to take the five marines of the boarding party away. He turned to warn their commander to exfil them and that broke his concentration long enough for the entity to set its hooks in him. If it had taken over completely, it would have been at least bad enough for their ship to be destroyed.
    1
  2117. It could be a relic from the dark age of technology or a chaos artifact. The papers could be oaths of moment as the 40k space marines believe in the God-Emporer of Man and exist in a technological dark age feudal society. Also you spoke of the rounds size. The first set of shells are from the much larger bolt rifles from on the higher tier... and the bolt pistol is probably so big that a human couldn't lift it. The rounds are mass reactive shells.... basically RPGs..
    1
  2118. The fact that ONE guy did all this, is simply mind numbing to me. His work is better than any 3D animation I've ever seen on the big screen. He should be working for Pixar or ILM because all GW is going to do is put his nuts in a vice and rub their hog all over his excellent work.

  2135. Heavy Bolters are used by the Imperial Guard = Normal Humans They are crew served weapons, needing two people to set up and fire. They require bipods
    1
  2136. As a former Marine myself, the people who think "assault weapons" are readily available to civilians make me LOL. I'd argue though the difference with Astartes weapons though is that the Imperium has outright religious taboos regarding them.
    1
  2137. No now you need to think about it if the only guy in existence that has the ability to R&D masterfully decides to stop looking at something and never come back to it then obviously he believes nothing more can be done with it seriously think about it the master of improving things decides to stop improving an object what does that mean

  2138. The answer to the name of Rogal Dorn's rifle is yes

  2139. Methinks more rifle stocks should use comfortable rubber

  2140. A weapon that needs a crew and orange be used properly I'm thinking of the e-web for Star Wars you first see it in Empire Strikes Back then again in the Mandalorian and I believe it might be in the force awakens I'm not sure definitely an upgraded version
    1
  2141. I think since Space Marines are supposed to be the knights of the Sci-Fi Fantasy setting of 40k they (GW) may have drawn inspiration from Ramon Llull with regards to a Space Marine deriving a "religious" significance for all of his equipment, as a medieval knight would once for his.

  2142. Deuterium is just an isotop of Hydrogen, stable. very rare, it's what makes heavy water heavy. it is used as a compound in a Hydrogen bomb, but as a second stage to an atom bomb. "depleted" is just science gibberish.
    1
  2143. Psychopathy is a mental disorder that causes the inability to connect, both emotionally, empathically and in some cases even intellectually to other creatures. Sociopathy is someone capable of empathy and emotional connection but has learned, most often due to outside factors, to hamper or distance themselves from said emotional and empathic responses. Btw, you should check out the 40k fan animation "The Raptor" it is fantastic.

  2144. Answers you asked for On the topic of genitals, the testes are a direct hormonal influence on the body and affect a lot of things in any normal humans, simply id say its a thing that probably differs chapter by chapter as some might think it will get rid of a distraction while others probably think it essential, remember each chapter does the surgery a little differently so not really a definite yes or no. Question Does the armour interface with the astartes internal organs: YES, the connections there are multiple connections, of all kinds the armour is made to be worn for an entire operation as in weeks to months if need be. NEURAL INTERFACES marines have the black carapace this organ prior to implantation looks like thick black plastic sheets but after implantation into the torso area bonds and creates multiple fibrous links with the marines nervous systems along the spine and torso that link to mechanical interface implants installed at the same time as the carapace, the carapace acts as a self maintaining basic armour and biological neural link with far greater reliability and ease of maintenance than a direct mechanical cybernetic interface, this also acts as a linkage to the organs neural tissues allowing bio rhythm monitoring and biochemical monitoring as well through carapace neural fibres which will maintain itself through out the marines life. CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL FUNCTIONS, yep their are a lot of chemical ports and shunts integrated into the astartes body allowing for direct chemical injection to the major blood vessels... suits are made to be worn for weeks or longer so catheters and waste ports are definitely a part of the amour but typically a marine is fed a nutrient rich gruel/soup through a port in the armours helmet alongside direct intravenous chemical stimulants during combat so I'd say its probably a lot like the dune still suit with water recycling and a waste tank... somewhere. Genomes and stuff, considering these organs are each part of a composite mutagen meant to change a human yeah instability and weird shit abound, oh and thunder warriors would only last decades before dying of their instability, resulting in cancers mutations and a lot of near self destructive biological imbalances. Marines and thunder warriors never go back home, they are part of the chapter and so as far as their families are concerned they will never see their children ever again, and the marines see the chapter are their family now, but some rare chapters do allow marines to maintain links with their families but this is rare. The whole 1000 per planet was more an entire planet to recruit from after all there's a lot of failures even before the implants get installed, but some draw recruits from multiple planets, the other thing is a lot of the planets preferred by astartes are at a feral or tribal level society on worlds rife with dangers making humans very hardy, but some recruit from hive city gangs where gang wars are constant once again the recruits are used to and acclimatised to hardship and violence.
    1
  2145. They don't give a planet for a thousand people, they give a planet to defend and recruit from which has its own population and do everything else all over the galaxy to a thousand soldiers. A lot of responsibility on a, when you think about it, a very small group.

  2146. Oi, don't you disrespect the Vlka Fenryka like that.

  2147. Well Custodes are not made by Gen seed they are handcrafted people
    1
  2148. Gene destabilization happens mainly through incest gene copying on top of each other causing much higher chances of errors
    1
  2149. The Grey Knights really wouldn't beg to differ, since they're Space Marines themselves, just forwarded to the Ordo Malleus rather than remaining with the Adeptus Astartes. And, you know, brain wiped.
    1
  2150. Well now the primaris are better
    1
  2151. The grey knights and the custodes are both technically space Marines. In fact the grey knights are blatantly space Marines. Custodes are the emperor's guardians so they have their own class.
    1
  2152. As far as I know, there's no reason a Space Marine wouldn't be able to survive even for years without armor. Even so Space Marines in lore are hardly ever seen without their armor outside a medbay or their own quarters. This is probably more due to tradition and healthy paranoia than anything else. 1,000 marines per chapter makes no sense from a mathematical perspective when you look at the size of the galaxy, but it's used to create a sense of the rarity of cutting edge technology in the Imperium.
    1
  2153. Custodes aren’t loyal to the Imperium. Their loyal to the Emperor. Big distinction. And if Astartes are super soldiers, then Custodes are super super soldiers. Their to Astartes what Astartes are to humans. I would argue Astartes are better as a fighting force for the Imperium than the Custodes, there’s more of the Space Marines and are generally good enough for most of the threat the Imperium faces. The stories that you hear about Astartes are generally the ones where the scale is enormous and impactful so the threat is scaled up, so those stories are like the most dangerous ones. They’re also more cost efficient. A Space Marine has harvested Progenoid Glands that can produce gene seed that will eventually turn into another Space Marine, so if they die, a Space Marine is replaced and the gene forging isn’t wasted because it can go into another Astartes. (Essentially recycled) If a Custodes dies, the gene forging is lost and it would cost the Imperium a fortune just to make another one.

  2154. Space marines are not biologically connected to their armour, it interfaces via a subdermal skin layer called the black carapace that has sockets that interface directly with the armour for monitoring, reacting naturally with the wearer”s movements and sometimes even bposting healing functions, wound sealing and even combat stimulants but a space marine is still a very dangerous soldier when “nude”
    1
  2155. 1: the custodes don't fight anymore 2: the grey knights are space marines
    1
  2156. Custodes are not really so much a fighting force as a personal body guard. They are not out on patrol in the galaxy all of the time.
    1
  2157. The Thunder Warriors weren't selected or predisposes to wanton violence in their design, it was a flaw in their design. Their minds degraded over time, leading them to slowly lose their restraint and sanity. It didn't help that they simply couldn't handle peacetime. They were bred and born conquerors and couldn't really handle peacetime. The Emperor knew about the latter issue, by my understanding, and when the trend for the loss of sanity became apparent, Big E began working on the Astartes, who were much more capable of withstanding peacetime, as well as not having the defect of losing sanity. He then slaughtered most of them on Ararat. It was both a massacre and a mercy killing.
    1
  2158. Space marines are perfectly capable of functioning without their armor. I don't know if waste recycling by the armor is stated to be canonical, but I think it's safe to assume considering they wear it for days, weeks or months on end. As for connection, they recieve an implant called the Black Carapace which intertwines with the nervous system and allows it to interface directly with power armor. The Black Carapace is a big, big deal. Power armor includes automated medical systems whose monitoring capabilities are vastly improved with a direct connection, as well as sensory and surveillance equipment that, when linked with a Black Carapace, allows the space marine to use those systems as extensions of his own natural senses. But most importantly, power armor is motivated by electrically-powered fibre bundles - essentially artificial muscles. Power armor made for regular humans need to interpret the wearer's movements and replicate them, which of course happens very quickly, but even a small amount of latency limits the wearer's speed and agility. Let's take raising one's arm as a simple example. If you do that too quickly, at the start of the motion you will move your arm inside the suit and feel it press into the padding as the armor replicates the movement just a little bit too late, while at the end of the motion you will feel your arm being moved by the armor a microsecond after you expect it to stop. It takes a lot of training for a regular human to adjust their movements so that they won't exhaust themselves by fighting against the power armor, let alone for them to be able to move efficiently while wearing it. The Black Carapace solves this issue by translating the signals naturally used by the space marine's nervous system to move his muscles directly into the power armor's fibre bundles, instead of requiring the armor to interpret and replicate his movements. This completely eliminates latency and allows the armor to move in perfect tandem with its wearer.
    1
  2159. "...the custodes would beg to differ.." kind of yes, kind of no, the custodes are custodian, body guards primarily, not purely a "fighting force"in the traditional sense. Think of the secret service, they are4 body guard essentially not a "fighting force"
    1
  2160. yes space marines are physically connected to their armor the black carapace is implanted under their skin and from where it is implanted grows out and merges with his nervous system, the black carapace has connector pins sticking out of the flesh to connect to the armor so that the armor reacts as fast as their musculature they also can activate helmet systems by thought alone if they are using the older, better suits of armor the more modern, less advanced helmets usually react to things like voice commands, tongue movements or blinking but the armor beyond the connections to the black carapace, is actually quite primitive in how it is attached to the body clasps and bolts mostly a marine is perfectly capable of completely removing his armor on his own without needing any machining done, tho most chapters have serfs to assist in doing it faster and incanting the blessings putting on or removing the armor is a long process tho, similar to putting on old japanese armor or full plate most marine will just carry the weight and fight on in the armor instead of spending the time to take it off in battle a marine definitely doesnt need his armor to relieve himself but there might be some tubes inserted because some of the waste a body excretes needs more filtering then sweat to be recycled and used to fill nutrient supplies so you probably want it to go onto a separate path of filtering the temporary-ness of the thunder warriors wasnt about genetic stability they where humans turned up to 1000, their brains their muscles their nervous system but they wert fine tuned to deal with it, their minds whernt included dealing with their bodies caused mental problems, ptsd, nervous ticks, violent outbursts they got extra intelligence from the adaptation, but they whernt made to deal with it, it was basically a human mind but smarter and that was it they couldnt deal whit what they had become, some describing the world as forever moving in slow motion as their mind tried and failed to comprehend their own reaction speed each of their minds tried to figure out a way to deal with it, each failed, their abilities drove them insane even if they didnt start as predisposed to violence, the horror of daily life in such a body broke them down the entire planet isnt given to the space marines but they are exempt from the imperial tithe of guardsmen, most do have a planetary defense force but its often not necessary as the chapter doesnt really allow its home world to be threatened most space marine planets are also not of immense value, often being very savage worlds chapters like the salamanders export a lot of metals as the tectonic instability provides a lot of ore once the rock cools, but a world like fenris is generally useless instead of the guard these worlds send their young fit men to be tested for getting into the marines, a lot of them die sickle cell anemia is more common in africans but yea every human group has its own specific medical problems and needs, while generally frowned apon acknowledging it, we are very different the gene destabilization of the geneseed is less natural selection and more that the geneseed doesnt just adjust its hosts genes but also absorbs them and integrates them into its own coding so they are passed on to the next generation combine that with the insular populations of the planets marines are recruited from, the compounding of some genetic traits in the specific geneseed from their primarch, and in some cases the genetic manipulation done to people during the dark age of technology to make colonizing of unpleasant planets possible and even the effects of the environment for example the salamanders have evolved to be almost completely invulnerable to fire as generations of geneseed had to adjust its hosts body to the deadly radiation of their homeworld that is so deadly their skin turns from a pale human to the charcoal black as a marine the marines of the space wolves meanwhile can no longer use real humans to make their marines as generations of using the subhuman mutants of fenris who have significant amounts of wolf genetics to survive their world has corrupted their geneseed when the space wolves tried to do a second founding, the geneseed reacted badly with real humans resulting in a lot of tentacle mutations and rampant tumor growths, they kindof got themselves into a genetic dead end for some its also just degradation, the loss of special abilitys by mixing in too much human with the primarch genes that made marines possible in the first place just millenia of the geneseed absorbing a little human and losing a little marine in the process its not a massive effect so far, only resulting in the loss of the belchers gland in the ultramarines, its the organ that lets them spit acid not a massive deal in combat but it did help marines that got captured in the great crusade
    1
  2161. Yes the are connections to the suit. As for waste Space Marines can goe longer without food and water, so theoreticaly dietary discipline can explain it, but as for the long term they still have the ability to do natures duty.
    1
  2162. Custodes and Grey Knights are Space Marines. With Custodes having their Gene Seed from the Emperor rather than a Primarch. Grey Knights Gene Seed is unknown except to the Inquisition upper echelons, the Temple Secretum of the Officio Assassinorum (secret keeper assassins), or the Grey Knights leaders (some speculate given the amount of psychicers within the GKs that a certain one eye cyclops Primarch gene seed is used).
    1
  2163. 24:22 Its Not, "they get a empty plant for them alone" its "they receive Jurisdiction and Lordship Over an Imperial World, and are responsible of it and of their recruitement amongst the Population of this World" The Primogenitors Chapters( the Ones that Kept the Colors and names of their Astartes Legion when they where split up), Kept their Homeworlds, where their Primarch landed and grew up before been found by the Emperor and the Great Crusade. -the Blood Angels have the Planet of Bhaal -THe Salamenders the Planet of Nocturne The Dark Angels do not have a plaent anymore cause it was blow up by -Redacted under order of the Holy Inquisition and all thats left is the Roc, their Chapter's Monastery that was on a Mountain peak, even tho they are called Monasteries, they are the Space MArines chapter Headquarters and Forteress, wich is equiped with powerful Void shields and have all the neccesities. So the reason why the Roc and their Monastery survived the destruction of their Planet, was becaus eof these Void shields, they modified the Mountain peak around the Monastery to have the required technology to turn it into a Battle Space Station and its Mobile, so they can go around with it if neccesary. -The Ultramarines Homeworld is called Macragge, but they have over 500 Planets under their control, making it the MAcragge Empire, wich th Imperial Administration doesn't like very much the prospect off... The Succesors Chapters( the ones that din't keep their original Legion's Names and coulors) got new worlds. -The Crimson Fists (Imperial Fists succesors) had the world of Rhynn, it was lost to a massive Ork Waaagh unfortunatly, but they got it back (iirc) -The Black Templars( Imperial Fists succesors) doesn't have a Homeplanet, they are constantly on their Fleets, and constantly in a crusade, so they recruit usually on Imperial worlds or Savage worlds that they saved from an incursion or the other.

  2164. The custodes are completely different from space marines. They're modified on a cellular level and each modification differs slightly depending on the individual. Even their wargear is custom made for each custodian and they're genetic modification starts from infancy unlike astartes who's modifications begin in their late/early teens. As for the thunder warriors, the main reason they were wiped out is that they were all essentially dying from their crude modifications. They're mental status was also deteriorating as time went by and were only good for fighting. Astartes on the other hand are capable of negotiations, and even rebuilding the infrastructure of a planet once it's been conquered.

  2165. He said they don’t need their armor to live. I get your point but rennet what the video tells you.

  2166. 23:15 Eldars didnt make the webway thought, they basicly are scavangers from a older race that created them called the "Old Ones" which had a huge battle against the Necrons using the Eldar and Krorks against them. Well anyways all their super advanced weaponry, armor & transportations were all slightly inferior copies of Old Ones tech that the could understand and use. They kind of worshipped Old Ones as gods and when they dissapeared they scrambled to keep on to something & everything they left behind, the Webway is imo the by far greatest thing they obtained some forms of masteries over.

  2167. The Emperor didn’t name the Primarchs. They were named by the people of the planets the Primarchs found themselves on. I’d say the Emperor only had “laboratory incubator tube numbers for each Primarch. Angron doesn’t need to think. He just kills. Tactical mistakes doesn’t matter to Angron. Butchering the enemy until all is dead… that’s Angron’s tactic.

  2169. 32:10 Yeah... they have this very nasty thing of being top tier for a long time... simply because of certain rules.
    1
  2170. to answer your tabletop question, the dark eldar have been really problematic recently because their 9th edition codex (rulebook) came out, and they are very good into what was top tier prior to them coming out, and the stuff that should have natural good matchups into them are still running on last edition rulebooks, and don't do super well in the current state of the game. The adeptus mechanicus codex just dropped recently, and being a wide shooty army should in theory do well agains dark eldar, so hopefully they are good enough to bring the eldar down from their top spot and bring the meta to a more healthy place. Before their codex came out, the meta was mostly Rock. The Dark Eldar came out, and they're Paper. We hope that the new AdMech codex will be Scissors.

  2173. Aw, I miss your face during the video. Also, the cuts from video to your discussing are kind of jarring to me. You can just keep it as a picture in picture, probably easier and faster to edit as well. That's it with my feedback, have a nice day.

  2174. About the chances of debauchery rising from a post-scarcity society, see the rat utopia study from the '60s and the resulting theory of behavioral sink. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behavioral_sink Warhammer 40K being from the late '80s, that may well have been on their minds when coming up with the Fall of the Eldar.
    1
  2175. The Eldar actually reincarnated before Slennesh. So being at the time immortal and having literally nothing to do they sought the ultimate experience. One life they would be the greatest warriors and kill almost anyone they found and in the next want to the greatest artist. They got to advanced to put it bluntly. Using their innate psychic power that they merged with their technology, they could even create even food with just a thought. He is wrong their are two possible ways you can "defeat" chaos the first is the Necrons. In Cadia they created the pylons that temporarily shrunk the eye of terror before they were destroyed. So they could very well possibly have a way to stop chaos from influencing the materium or calm the warp storms. The second is its possible for the tyranids to do so. The tyanids could do so in two ways first eat all life in the universe this cutting chaos off from worship and they would eventually "die". Second is the Shadow in the warp has closed warp rifts and banish demons. Meaning if you get enough Tyranids in one place the shadow could theoretically close the Eye of Terror, thus significantly weakening the chaos gods ability to influence the materium.
    1
  2176. All Eldar souls are psychic active and when they die they remain conscious in the Warp, which means its the worse possible hell for them being endlessly tormented by Slaneesh until their souls burn out. For humans and other less psychic races dying is no big deal because its its the end of their consciousness and what happens next will not register in any way, and if they worship the Emperor then he shepherds their soul and keeps it safe (using it as a battery to fuel his psychic powers). Giving your soul to a Chaos God forsakes this protection and leads to eternal damnation, the Craftworld Eldar avoid this by trapping their souls in Soulstones, which are gems attuned to them and worn at all times. Upon their death the soul stones are returned to Infinity Matrix at the heart of the Craftworld, where they soul can rest safely.

  2181. Horus is 100% ultradead, but he was the primarch of the Black Legion. Since the primarchs are the genetic progenitors of legions, that's a title exclusive to them whether they're alive or dead. The current leader of the Black Legion, Ezekyle Abaddon, holds the title of Warmaster. And yes, Magnus' nipple horns are kinda weird. He's a weird guy.
    1
  2182. Slanesh wants to eat souls, preferably Eldar ones. Chaos as a whole doesn't have an endgame, because it is the endgame. Entire legions followed their Primarchs and turned. Currently chaos marines have recruitment, geneseed and all that, but with a chaos twist, so generally more horrible. I think the plan of Necrons was to stabilise reality to keep the Warp out, kill everyone and wait until Chaos starves out. Eldar want to combine a huge pile of their souls to create a new Chaos god to fight and kill Slanesh. Tyrannids have some degree of intrinsic defence from Chaos and they just want to eat everything and leave. Orks don't care either way, as long as they get to fight something. Look up "mouse utopia", it was an experiment on a mouse society collapsing from excess. Webway was built by the Old Ones, I think. Eldar are just using it, but can't even do large scale engineering or repairs to the webway. I'm pretty sure Eldar have women and their children have souls. The problem is after an Eldar dies, the soul is pulled to Slanesh, so they need a counter-measure, such as a soul gem.

  2183. The Angron thing was so obviously a bad idea from the start. The emperor basically came upon Space Rome as Spartacus was having a last stand and offered to take him away to the stars. Emps was told no so he told Spartacus that Space Rome was awesome because it wanted to join the empire and took him anyway so Spartacus watched all his friends die thinking he chose to abandon them. The extra bit of screw you to him was the fact that damn near every other primarch got to take their best warrior buddies with them into the empire and his fellow rebels could have easily been saved also but for politics they were ditched. Also he had brain surgery to pretty much remove any emotions but the rage/hate sort.
    1
  2184. Well Veteran here's the answer for Eldar reproduction there's a female God of reproduction she got taken in the worp by slenash then nurgle got her and use her for her regeneration for experiments, plague is best tested on good regeneration speciment and that effects the Eldar by not able to born new Eldar, so they use soul stones that they get from the world's that are full of deamons to trap there souls for them to fight in the mechanical walkers and the Eldar titans soooo yea.
    1
  2185. So the reason why angron is so angry is cause he has the butchers nails in his head, these things were basically used by slavers and are the main cause for angron's rage. When the emperor saved him (in a dickish way btw) he was unable to remove the nails without killing him. So angron was from then on perpetually angry

  2206. In defense of primaris. The emperor spent decades creating the astartes cawl has spent 10,000 years improving them it is likely that the emperor viewed the astartes as sufficient for his needs and shifted resources to other projects it is also likely that the astartes of the great crusade were not the final product it is my opinion that emperor had intended to drawdown the majority of legions after the crusade. Most likely putting the vast majority of astartes into stasis

  2207. How could the preomnor possibly work? The Emperor Himself created this....that is all we need to know....or do you follow the heretic's path???? (😉 just kidding lol)

  2216. I'd argue the Imperium needs The Lion, Primarch of the Dark Angels, more than Sanguinius at the moment. This is because while Guilliman's talent lies more in logistics and administration, while The Lion was even more of a master strategist and tactician than even Guilliman, and so Guilliman could then go back to do what he is really good at. And not only that, The Lion was leagues above Guilliman in terms of fighting, easily equaling Leman Russ himself. In the Horus Heresy books, it was hinted that Horus was so afraid of The Dark Angel Legion led by The Lion, that he never sought a direct confrontation with them.
    1
  2217. The blood angels where pre heresy very most loved legion in the imperium as samguinius was a apreciater of the arts which was passed down to his sons only after the heresy when the blood angels go into the black rage they see themselves as their primarch as he fell so they go into a bloody rage and kill most things they can see that aren't brothers. and he didn't get his wings from big e he got his wings from warp corruption.

  2218. Ooh, A chapter dedicated to hentai! Rule 34 battle standards. Anime girl death masks. Metal-tentacled servitors!

  2219. A good thing to rememeber, there was precious few things the emperor never forgave, religion and betrayal being two, quite frankly he was, extremely lenient overall to call his attention, and threat the erradication the forgotten two received, takes a lot, much more than "moral misconduct". On the commander falling, Primarchs are not just commanders, they are fathers as far as their marines are concerned, more valued in fact than a father, no wonder they went cray-cray on that, also, there is a psychic connection between space marine and primarch, that can be seem by the black rage. On psiker marines, is possible to "aweken"psychic potential later in life, explaining the occurrance of psikers in the legions, that and the fact they have the dna of the Emperor, is not uncommon, for marines to develop psiker powers.

  2220. Sanguinius was a total bro, 2nd only to Vulkan. He's pretty good, you should cut him some slack. Also concerning their tactics of rapid direct assault by dropping their transports and troops in the thick of battle: It's a tried and true tactic. They aren't like the guard who will keep employing the same few tactics over and over. They keep using it cause it WORKS. They're good enough that these stupidly daring assaults WORK. Just like the white scars and their usage of bike assaults. Anyways I can't wait for you to react to more blood angels stuff like templin's video on Dante, their chapter master. Cheers!
    1
  2221. No that was before being introduced to their primarch, but yeh their savagery usually comes from drop pod assault and happily hacking, ripping anyone or anything apart be they enemies or civilians and were known to orbitally bombard a civilian population just to wipe out heir enemies and I do mean imperial civilian cities not alien cities

Just a suggestion in case you branches out to other franchise to analyse, check out gundam because their weapon development lore and there a series dedicated to that, it called "advance of zeta" it a lore dedicated on weapon development for titan faction of uc timeline. Gundam also have tactic and other thing to analyse

  2225. A couple thoughts: There is a LOT of stuff about the primarchs and early legions, but a lot about them is still a mystery. I particularly liked Occulus Imperialis' history of the Blood Angels. You might have been thinking of Maj. Gen. Orde Wingate, of the 77th Indian Brigade, who died March 24, 1944, in a transport plane crash. (I am a search engine guy, not a historian!)

  2227. 29:48 They do use jump packs a lot, but the Land Raider is the heaviest non-relic vehicle in the Space Marine armory. It's a breakthrough IFV armed with heavy bolters and lascannons, dropping it close to an enemy that is still deploying their heavy weaponry can have devastating results considering it can deliver a squad of Assault Terminators right next to their lines and destroy any tanks or fortifications that can threaten them on approach.

  2230. Yes, Tmeplin Institute did make a blunder (7th being Rogal Dorn's legion, Imperial Fists).3 books that come to mind when it's about Sanguinius (from Horus Heresy, haven't started reading Siege of Terra yet so I can't say how good are they), are Fear to Thread (fight on Signus Prime), Unremembered Empire (self-explanatory) and Ruinstorm (when he gets thru to Terra with help of Lion and Roboute). Regarding artistry and such, I remember a few bits from 6th/7th edition codex, how they(Blood Angels) spend some time working on fine-crafting their gear, alongside sculpting/painting and such, and how they also have their own unique metal alloy, angel-steel iirc, which supposedly never mars or chips. Speaking of artistry, Imperial Fists themselves (at least the original chapter) have an itch to scrimshaw (both large and microscopic ones) on bones (don't ask what/whose bones). Also check their video on Dante, Blood Angels chapter master, it's pretty good, plus it gives an insight on earlier question about how long lifespan reflects on a space marine. Given that lore does give Blood Angels + successor the longest lifespan of any other legion geneseed (1 millenium is not unheard of, especially in Dante's case, 1.5k+ years-old). Another marine worth looking into is Space Wolves venerable dreadnought Bjorn the Fell-handed (10k+ years).

  2231. 17:23 You nail the government approve history but these is a fan theroy about Sangunauis turning chaso, killing Horus, and then Big E killing Sangunauis.

  2232. Majorkill has a theory that sanguinus killed Horus’s physical body but had to enter the black rage to do it, he then he attacked the emperor in a blind rage nearly killing him because the emperor didn’t want to kill the son he truly loved
    1
  2233. A popular fan theory is that on the Vengeful Spirit, Sanguineous fell to the Black Rage and actually killed Horus before the Emperor even got to Horus. Then, in a fit if mad bloodlust, Sanguineous attacked the Emperor, brutally wounding him to the point of the Emperor having to mercy kill Sanguineous

  2237. Thumbnail: "They're so angry." World Eaters Traitor Legion makes these guys look calm by comparison. And pre-Demon Prince Fulgrim could give Sanguinius a run for his money in how pretty he looked.
    1
  2238. Ka'Bandha is the Bloodthirster who kicked the crap out of Sanguinius and originally ignited the Black Rage, but he left the Primarch alive so that he could slaughter the remaining Blood Angels en masse. Blood for the Blood God, and all that. Ka'Bandha very nearly beat Sanguinius again during the Siege of Terra, but the Primarch rallied for a final desperate attack resulting in the Bloodthirster having his back broken over Sanguinius's knee and being thrown back through the Eternity Gate into the Warp. After this rather humiliating defeat, Ka'Bandha swore an oath that he alone would be the one to destroy the Blood Angels Legion. It wasn't until ten thousand years later that Ka'Bandha reappeared from the Immaterium, and he actually helped the Blood Angels by drawing off and slaughtering a huge number of Tyranids because he could see that the Blood Angels were going to be defeated and wiped out if their foe was left intact. The Blood Angels literally have a Greater Daemon of Khorne watching their backs because of an ancient blood feud. Khorne's servants have a sense of honor, so Ka'Bandha makes sure nothing can destroy them because only he is allowed to do that. The popular joke is that he's tsundere for Sanguinius. As a side note, Sanguinius also does suffer from the Red Thirst. Almost constantly, in fact. He was 'supposed' to fall to his rage and become Khorne's Champion but he learned self-discipline and kept his bloody urges under control. Angron was never intended to be Khorne's Champion, and was more of a consolation prize for the Blood God. "Recognize me, then, Sanguinius of Baal. I am Ka'Bandha, Bloodthirster and general of Khorne, blessed is his hate. And we are brothers."

  2291. The Easter thing appears to be false. The first mention that it was superimposed on a pagan holiday can be found in the writings of a 7th century monk in England... centuries after the holiday began to be celebrated
    1
  2292. The Grey Knights were founded during the Horus Heresy by Malcador* (*I know, I likely have misspelled his name badly... But hey, dyslexia is a bitch, sorry.) Malcador, whom was the chief advisor(soon to be a literal "corpse" emperor ) Emperor of mankind's "best friend,(kinda, sorta, eventually.) and he was the Regent of the Imperium that was in charge of running Terra and the Imperium's vast bureaucracy of logistical agencies, ect. Whenever Big E was otherwise occupied (with things like the crusade, or his secret webway project, ect.) He was one of the effectively immortal perpetuals likely the most powerful of them(Unless the retcon of Vulcan now being a perpetual makes him the most powerful...) perpetual lore is all just pretty damned convoluted & confusing honestly.) strong enough to have once actually smacked down Horus Lupercal, in front of two of his brother primearchs, Alpharius & the Great Khan, when Horus was angry over the perceived disrespect shown him by Malcador when he believed that the Regent was responsible for presided over the total & complete erasure from all Imperial historical records in regard to the two "lost primearchs" ;even though it was actually the Emperor's decision to have his two "lost" sons erased from all mention in all of the Imperium's historical records & the tearing down of both of those two unknown "lost primearchs" great statues lining the promenade of the Emperor's Palace on Terra... You are always behaving like an extremely flawed, insanely reckless hothead, Horus had automatically assumed, wrongly so, that this was all Malcador foreshadowing his future betrayal how dangerously arrogant he actually was mouthy little brat, before he turned traitor at least, and shrugged off a devastating backhand blow from another of the Emperor's sons powerful immensely psychically powerful, only being outclassed in psychic strength by the Emperor himself... *SIDENOTE: The Emperor was just exponentially more powerful than any of the other Perpetuals, & he was on a level they could only imagine the power of, even Malcador was nothing comparedto the godlike abilities displayed by the Emperor of mankind... At least, this was the case AFTER the man humanity now knows as "The Emperor" became after some of his more shady, obscure, & likely morally questionable dealings with, & implied double crossing of, the Chaos gods themselves... Oh and that time he managed the entrapment of the void dragon - likely one of the last of thosr star eating godlike enemies of the Old Ones, the Ka'tan. Maybe the last living remnant of that "race" of godlike beings discovered by the necrons before they were tricked & forcibly transformed into the enslaved egyptian themed space terminators during the times of the war in heaven, though there's actually no definitive confirmation of this being what the "racial" origins of the Void Dragon truly are, not from any of GW's "official" lore books at least... Anyway, this Void Dragon was imprisoned (maybe, or it volunteered, it simply isn't clear in the lore.) in a deep hidden vault somewhere underneath Mars... all of this is ancient history and occurred far back in the early times of the Emperor's known existence; and extremely early in the time-line of humanity's history, long before humanity even began exploring beyond their home world of Terra, and long before the dark age of technology had happened... The Emperor seemingly has existed long before the start of recorded human history.) Malcador, as Regent of the Imperium, supposedly only enacts the diret will of the God Emperor... and as one of the dozen or so known immortal perpetuals whom have, at various times throughout history, been actively attempting to direct the course humanity's future takes; mostly from behind the scenes & as advisors to the "throne" of various historical powers throughout mankind's history... Oh, and these so called Perpetuals, well many of them seemingly aren't exactly always as immortal as that title would imply.... so basically, it is all complicated as hell... and I have forgotten my initial point now... LoL.

  2295. So. heres the big thing with the state of technology. As Bricky said, the mechanicus believes all technology and knowledge that exist is already out there waiting to be found. It actually isnt very far off. Prior to the "Age o Strife" humanity was in the "dark age of technology" or more realistically the "golden age of technology". During this time humanity was so advanced and powerful that even the eldar, who were at their peak, as well as the orks, had non-aggression pacts with humanity. Theres a story about how an ancient AI driven warship was being explored after being pulled from the warp. While exploring it, a dark eldar ship showed up, and the AI defended itself by firing a missile at it. Upon impact it took that ships future self back in time by just a few seconds and overlaying it upon itself causing it to destroy itself. That was the power of humanity during tge golden age. Now the mechanicus searches for whats called STC, or Standard Template Constructs. They are a bit complex of a topic, but basically they were blueprints of everything humanity knew to make, though vastly corrupted in the 41st millennium. They are so rare and so sought after, that a gaurdsman who found one was awarded an entire planet and given an early retirement.
    1
  2296. The sororitas are peak loophole exploitation as they came about after the ecclesiarchy lost a civil war banning them from having men at arms.
    1
  2297. Specifically the machine spirit refers to programming. The admech does a lot of admission by nudges and winks. The emperor is technically the omnissiah but if its the actual emperor or if its a fully other manifestation they see in warp space is debatable, much like when people have first hand accounts of meeting the emperor or feeling his presence.
    1
  2298. So, a statement on the 'cherubim,' they are vat grown things, and not literal 'babies'
    1
  2299. You are correct in your doubt that humanity would lose its desire for inovation. However, like all good things about humanity, it became twisted in the the 40k universe. Instead of seeking to learn new technology, Mechanicus believes that all the knowledge and technology already exists and their duty is not to create something new but to find the knowledge that already is out there in the universe. Which is why for the most part they are just going around the universe seeking STCs, the Standart Template Constructs from the Dark Age of Technology (the golden age when Humanity was at its technological peak) which are basically just 3D printers with loads of blueprints already installed in them. However Archmagos Dominus Belisarius Cawl is a notable exception for this rule, as he is basically the only one who does innovate without fear of repercussions. Problem is, he is fucking insane even by 40k standarts and is incredibly untrustworthy. Also he might be dabbling in the AI technology which is very not good in a universe where AI inevitably decides to go full Terminator.
    1
  2300. Bricky forgot a very important aspect of the Mechanicus, critical to understanding their motivations and beliefs....the fuck toasters, and will kill anyone who stands between them and their beloved toasters. Very important information
    1
  2301. Pretty sure the machine spirit is semi real.. The reason why technology is so mistrusted is because During the heresy a Chaos virus kind of infected Half of mars and mars had its own heresy to contend with. So the machine spirit could be a sort of Limited AI, but No one would use those Words. There is also a theory that the cthan shard of the void dragon is in mars and that is machine spirit being worshipped
    1
  2302. The thing with inovation is that it is not that there was no inovation, there were some upgrades, but. Mechanicus believes that everything was already invented and if you want that knowledge, you must go out and hunt for it. And as such inovation is done through seeking lost knowledge. Also invention is considered heresy. Mechanicus is basicly highly hypocritical. Belisarius cawl (that big cyborg dude) disregards some of the rules and invents and improves some things, because of that he is hated by everyone else.
    1
  2303. Machine spirits are very limited AI. But not realy. Example: The guardsmen must care for his Lasgun so the machine spirit is happy. In that case the spirit is some kind of self diagnostic mechanism. If the spirit is not happy the guardsmen must perform some rites and rituals to appease the spirit. Maintenance. The Mecanicus does not know they built an AI into the weapon, most of the time they build the machines that build the stuff and not the stuff itself and the builder machines are often from the time they had working STCs. And the guardsmen doesn't know how the Lasgun works either.
    1
  2304. Its not that invoation was lost its that its been actively discouraged. The omnisciah and or the emperor designed that to be just that way and changing it is deviating from its holy perfect design. The reason the comprimise had to happen with the machine cult is they were already established on mars and if the emperor wanted to get out of the solar system he'd either have to co-opt the cult and their planet sized factory system and expertise in building warmachines and spacefaring vessels or wage a long and bloody war to try to seize them and convert them. SO he just worked the diplomacy and they believe him to a part of the trinity of the omnisciah manifest so they were on board to work alongside the imperium.
    1
  2305. I've read a fair bit of the lore, and the Admech are actually my favorite faction and the guys I want to play primarily on tabletop. The Cult Mechanicum is a religion with a trinity. They have the Omnissiah, which is the physical representation of the diety, and their savior in prophecy, then they have the Machine God itself, which is the divine aspect of if, and then they have the motive force, which is the energy that travels through all things and drives them to move and function. When the Emperor came to Mars, a huge portion of the Cult Mechanicum faithful immediately saw him as the Omnissiah, the physical manifestation of the machine god, which is dogma in the Mechanicus to this day. The Emperor, seeing the sheer might of Mars and the technical capacity of the Tech Priests, actually sanctioned this, and forged an alliance between Mars and Terra, which is in stark contrast to all the religions he'd go on to exterminate throughout the galaxy. However, that is not the only interpretation of the Cult Mechanicum, and theological debates rage constantly among Tech Priests over the nature of the Omnissiah. The most heretekal of which don't even see the Emperor as the Omnissiah. Some see Chaos Undivided as the Omnissiah, some think the Omnissiah is an ancient alien diety that's called the Void Dragon, some think the Omnissiah hasn't even revealed himself yet, and yet others think there isn't a Machine God or an Omnissiah at all.
    1
  2306. I'm of the opinion that many of the Adeptus Mechanicus' Tech-Priests are a lot less religious than they let on, and most of the rituals the Mechanicum uses are just basic repair and maintenance techniques dressed up in the trappings of religion so the masses won't question them.
    1
  2307. The mechanicus preserved technology by turning maintenance protocols into rituals and pass the rituals on over generations. So they still know how to maintain things, but the understanding of why you need oil those gears to lubricate them is lost, only that you NEED to oil them to please the machine spirit. This is speculated to be what would happen in generation ships
    1
  2308. I chuckled in your other video where you lobbied the use of AI in space travel, combat and bureaucracy. If I remember correctly humans actually did achieved the utopian golden age with the help of AI...until the AI went Skynet on them and nearly wiped them out. The Imperium of Man pretty much banned the use of AI because of that.

  2309. The Cult of Mars started long before the Emperor even conquered Terra or created the Primarchs, so no, they don't get their power from him. They don't rub oil on their robes; they rob oils on the device to be activated. Think of the prayer as a mnemonic device to remember in order every phase of a complex action, like an airplane checklist; some are very simple (like how to open a certain door handle), some are really complex (how to activate a Titan requires a host of techpriest, some are specialised in weapon activation, sensors, plasma readtor...) The Striders are Perpetual Motion Machines! The guy who invented them knew someone could claim credit for his creation so he kept everything in his head; anyone can build a Strider, but once it start in can never be turned off otherwise it never starts again! No one else figured it out, so yes they keep them running in circles! Humans have probably reached the limit of their intelligence, their comprehension of the laws of physics and their applications a human brain can store. Some of the knowledge require to make technology progress beyond recreation and small modifications, the real advanced stuff, is limited by the Adeptus themselves! That Cawl guy created a new Super Space Marine type, the Primaris, but it might have taken him 10,000 years to perfect! He also had prepared a bunch of new vehicles and weapons for those new larger space marines. But as they say; if it works and it works well, why change it? The Rhino tank is a good example; it is outperformed by most other tanks, but it is flexible enough as a frame to make unlimited numbers of variants! Better to keep it the same across the Imperium and its millions of planets.

  2310. 10:30 attila the hun had huns, not mongols :D but nice video anyway :)
    1
  2311. Seriously brother if you really wanna learn about Warhammer 40k in your own time I highly recommend you binge-watch Baldermort's Guide to Warhammer his videos are great at helping new players figure out lore for 40k. bricky is fun and entertaining but I would not consider him a great source for 40k newbies
    1
  2312. A lot of technology is manufactured in factories that are thousands of years old, or using machines that are even older. Many of these machines and factories once were operated by AIs. When the AIs rebelled, these factories were lobotomized. But they couldn't purge all the software clean, because many of the functions relied on subsystems that worked acceptably without the main AI , but there are AI components thus still in existence. Often, plugging components together manufactured in different factories, you sometimes AI fragments recombine, mutate. And thats the nonbiological type of machine spirit. The Scientific Method requires you to counterproof your results in earnest. Many of those that formed the base of the Mechanicum were "Engineers", not Researchers and Scientists. So for them it was important to get stuff to work. There are many factions in the AdMech. Some do not want to change anything, because the Ommnissiah made it as it is amd thus it is perfect. Others are focused on discovery by archeology, to find all the tech that once was - because its perfect! There are very few that are willing to draw the ire of those groups by actively doing research and development. Those that do, though, like Cawl, are those that keep the techbase going, by developing spare parts, needed improvements.That keeps them pretty busy overall.
    1
  2313. Yeah the Ad Mech has a bad tendency to horde the knowledge of how things work. They know what the Imperium is about, so they make themselves irreplaceable. OF course this does mean that any technological progress goes down the drain the moment the one guy who knows how to make a certain technology dies.
    1
  2314. Remember, it isn't heresy if a Grey Knight did it.
    1
  2315. the repression of tech is from fear of any sort of AI emerging
    1
  2316. To be clear: all that religious stuff only started after the emperor was placed upon the golden throne. He himself had nothing to do with it besides existing. Also there is a difference between servoskulls and a machine spirit. The first is created by man while the second simply exists
    1
  2317. Machine Spirits are a bit of an abstraction of many possible things depending on where in the Imperium you are, or at least the origin of the equipment you are using. Typically, the Mechanicus (inefficiently) get around the ban and stigma on AI by cloning blank human (or animal/alien) brain tissiue (or 'recycling' those of death row convicts or pious servants who are about to die of old age and have volunteered for it) and integrating them as hardware in complex equipment, onto which they program non-sapient expert software. Such as putting a cloned human head jacked up on a cocktail of combat drugs as the core of a missile's target-guidance package, as the Tau found out to their horror when they picked apart a dud missile to study, shortly after first contact with the Imperium. Other times, Machine Spirits are simply complex, if straight-forward, expert computer programs forgoing any biological hardware. Like highly refined versions of real-life AI programs. Capable, but not truly able to think for, or change itself. This type are normally found most often on surviving or recovered examples of older technology and equipment, particularly truly ancient 'Archaeotechnology' from millennia past that the modern Mechanicus often has little to no understanding of, but holds incredible religious reverence for, even if it skirts the line of what they would otherwise deem heretical. Finally, the last possible explanation for a Machine Spirit is just that: a weak mystical totem spirit in the Warp corresponding to a particular piece of equipment. It is canonical to the 40K universe's metaphysics that long-standing, widespread belief in something is entirely capable of causing some manner of effect within the dimension of the Warp, which itself can effect material reality, particularly in areas near Warpstorms where Material Reality and the Warp start to blend a little (or a lot, depending on how close you are), or if something with active agency (like a Daemon or hypothetical 'true' Machine Spirit) is trying to do so. Ergo, as trillions of people across the galaxy believe that Machine Spirits are real, they become real, and thus able to be interacted with and enticed to do things via the Mechanicus personnel's belief that certain techno-shamanistic rituals and offerings give them the power to do so.
    1
  2318. Reason why technology in Imperium is stagnated is because you can't do anything without instructions. Inventing new things is heresy in Mechanicus religion
    1
  2319. The Mechanicus actually do understand scientific principles, but because so much knowledge has been lost over the millennia of repeated disasters that have struck humanity, they hoard knowledge from those they deem unworthy and are slow to innovate because they consider rapid technological development dangerous, especially in the field of AI research. Their various rituals are generally maintenance protocols that have developed religious connotations so they may be easily passed on to those without thousands of years of accumulated scientific knowledge to back it up, which was a necessity on Mars and many other worlds during the Age of Strife, and in order to maintain power over the ignorant masses, because it's one thing to be able to pick up and use a gun or drive a car, and it's another to assemble them based on instructions, but it's another thing entirely to understand the scientific principles behind such technology and reproduce it from scratch, innovate upon it in any way, or figure out ways to counter it.

  2320. vatican is 24/7 werid men
    1
  2321. 2:50 Is true that a lot of catholic celebrations are made up and basically contrary to what the bible says. The only one that should be fine is Easter because Jesus said to remember his sacrifice in the book.
    1
  2322. 11:40, 10%? LOL Oh, sorry.. You're being Naive, Sir.
    1
  2323. Big E being tolerant of the Mechanicus was a mixture of them being very powerful and necessary to the Emperors plan to undertake his Galactic crusade. He was also at one point the object of their worship as he was believed to be their God incarnate, however im not sure how much of that has changed from Warhammer 30k -> 40k, however I think he still is believed by the majority of the Mechanicus to be their God.
    1
  2324. The way I see, machine spirit is a combination of many different things. Some automated functionality that didn't require AI, lots of superstition, some actual warp fuckery, partly functioning remnant AIs, literal human brains embedded as parts of a machine... To the Mechanicus though, machines are like humans, they have a body as well as a soul, not in an exact but a similar way. The Mechanicus is just a bunch of cultists. They believe that an incantation or a prayer is just as functional as actually executing a piece of software. There was a story about a derelict hulk (from Death of Integrity) where a Techpriest was trying to do some rituals and... to the ship's remnant AI they were just pathetic attempts. At one point AI says "Who are you to tell such as I what to do and not to do? Once I gladly called your kind 'master', but look how far you have fallen! Your ancestors bestrode the universe, and what are you? A witch doctor, mumbling cantrips and casting scented oils at mighty works you have no conception of.". The whole conversation is amazing in case you wanna go read it. Its kind of like the story of Horizon Zero Dawn. Knowledge of the humanity is reset. They go back to bows and spears but there are highly advanced machines. In the case for Mechanicus though, they somehow remained in control of most machinery. Their methods are really primitive though. If something doesn't work they try 20 nonsensical things and then hit the reset button and then it works. Being superstitious cultists they are, they think prayers and oils and incantations must have been the part of the solution. So they keep the solution to the problem as entirety of that process.
    1
  2325. I am not sure if it's canon, but I think some people have theorized that "machine spirits" are just primitive ai's and programs. But yes the mechanicus also uses mindwiped brains augmented with technology to do the same tasks advanced ai's would normally deal with.

  2329. I'm an Energy drink fanatic and I bought some gum. I will say I like that the minty flavor (it's also filled with some liquid stuff) does last a long time unlike some gum. I haven't just eaten gum without energy drinks but even energy drinks don't really do much for my energy so it's tough to compare. I like how it's made in the US and it helps support his channel mainly so it's worth it.
    1
  2330. You are really professional and a real adult. Not like the most channels in youtube. You have my subscribe my friend and thank you for your service
    1
  2331. The dude is known as a pyker a space wizard who taps into hell (warp) to cast powers.
    1
  2332. 5:00 totally misread that ... I was expecting boarding to be done with boards not planks... though "planking the enemy" sounds a whole lot more fun.
    1
  2333. He hasn't QUITE fully grasped exactly HOW LITTLE meaning or value all life has in 40K... LoL. None of the living beings in this universe are uniquely important, nor do they often have traditional storyline plot armor... Anybody can perish at any moment... & EVERYONE SHALL BURN, alongside the entirety of the Galaxy!.... And the truth is that only the eightfold path offered by the Chaos gods allows for any semblance of immortality or significance.
    1
  2334. Yeah sorry my dude already know all about starship troopers here to watch you experince the astrates
    1
  2335. Also why hasn't there been like a 40k warhammer version of world of war craft like garrys mod is a modded version of half life ditto for csgo so why hasn't there been a 40k version of WoW where you can pick which class you want and you took part in these massive plantary wars like that other game that had all the weird high sci fi looking tanks and planes where the class you picked must overwhelm or survive till backup can come
    1
  2336. Yeah the bolter in question only looks small because space marines are freakishly tall like 9 feet or so. They were once regular humans but to be a space marine means having your body augmented to demi god hood.
    1
  2337. 10:21 actually the gunner wasn't alone. If you look closely there was someone else on his left.
    1
  2338. The Psykers were clearlyy that, psyers. AAccording tothe animator they are usingg alien artifacts / are enthralled by them. You might have noticed that each onehad either the left or the right arm missing and the backlash fromm one being killed affected the other. SO most likely they are bonded in some way. COuld be siblings for exmple or just bonded through ritual. The faction is of the animators making though and clearly rebellious but not chaotic in nature
    1
  2339. Those escorting balls are countermeasures for the missiles. If you look closely at the "enemy" ship you can see them fire, some get through. The ship that flies of to the left fires decoys for the main turrets to lock on to so they can get closer without getting hammered before entry. Syama Pedersen really thought this through 10/10
    1
  2340. Note: this is astartes parts 1-4, not 1+2.
    1
  2341. Just my perspective, but full-sized bolter guns ARE HUGE! They only LOOK small in comparison to how HUGE the Space marines actually are, proportionately anyway. As for the size of the mags, I'd say at least part of that is the bolter round mags are in fact bigger than they look...either that, or these guys are amazing at preloading quickly.
    1
  2342. The Astartes warriors are super genetically enhanced. They started as a normal human and were enhanced or given “gene seed” which dramatically increases their size, strength, mental capabilities and able to use multiple strategies for all situations. (Think the supposed Nazi Shock troopers for an idea only a lot bigger as they stand about 9-10 ft tall without the power armor) remember that it is also the 41st millennium in their timeline so anything is possible. The renegade troopers would be normal human size.
    1
  2343. Sorry, but in any video about Warhammer 40k where Starcraft space marines are mentioned it is a loyalists duty to enlighten the masses about the fact the Starcraft was originally planned as a Warhammer 40k RTS and both terrans and the zerg are basically rip-offs of The Imperium Of Man and Tyranids. Protos less so of the Eldars.
    1
  2344. If you like this, should try the Dawn of War series games (1 is kinda like Starcraft, 2 is more about squad deployment than full army)
    1
  2345. This is just 1 of many videos of lore that are vary detailed about the lore of warhammer 40k. I recommend all this channels videos.

  2347. Would you like to know more?
    1
  2348. Some useful hotkeys for you to make talking about specific parts easier. K = play/pause < = single frame back > = single frame forward Arrow keys = 5 seconds back or forward. Hopefully this helps for quickly pausing so you can get your thoughts out on what you are seeing and really hone in on specific moments that you want to touch on
    1
  2349. Astartes do fight non corrupted humans sometimes, but it's rare because there's usually higher priority targets for them to go after.
    1
  2350. 11:36 I have more of a gripe with the marines being all bunched up in that hallway, they were asking to be mowed down. Plus wtf was that one marine doing waving his gun at the backs of his friends?
    1
  2351. space marine have hand like your head. so they small bolters are for you like granade launchers.
    1
  2352. 2:22 fun thing Blizzard actually stole... sorry was inspired by Warhammer 40K. Thats why Starcraft has similarities to Warhammer. If i remember correctly Games Workshop actually sued Blizzard back in the day because of this. But Warhammer was inspired by Starship Troopers
    1
  2353. Laser buzzsaw could actually do damage to a space marine,at least wounding one space marine is worth killing all of those regular humans in the hallway.
    1
  2354. Battlefleet Gothic
    1
  2355. Starship Troopers got inspiration by Warhammer 40k. Not the other way my friend. ;)
    1
  2356. You need to watch a video on how the space Marines are made.
    1
  2357. "Capture" what is this heracy
    1
  2358. Bolster are actually quite big its just compared to a marking they look small
    1
  2359. just saying space marines arnt just guys in power armour. theyre basically genetically modified super soldiers in power armour. measuring the size of a bolter compared to a space marine may make the bolter look small but its just that space marines are so big
    1
  2360. I believe the standard pattern bolter they are using are .75 but they range from human size .75 to heavy bolter 1.00
    1
  2361. Its so trippy to see this without doom music playing in the background.
    1
  2362. Just found your channel, hi! On what you mentioned about killzones and ambushes, I would've always assumed that in a corridor or an alley way, that the killzone would be the alley itself if the gunner has aligned themselves on the opposite end of the corridor since its a straight lane to fire into. Didn't think that a smaller broad zone would've been the more 'classic'.
    1
  2363. i mean, yeah, naval warfare is basically land warfare in ships
    1
  2364. The psykers are probably using some sort of enhancement cybernetics meant to improve, or even gain rudimentary telekinetic powers. They are nothing special as psykers come, but their implants seem xeno in nature.
    1
  2365. 5:09 You are describing the famous roman "corvus", romans did not like disorganized boardings, they loved formation so much (and took advantage of), that even boarding a ship was done in formation.
    1
  2366. no disrespect but you shoud watch this , it expleins the astartes 1-5 for us comman mortals https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrmJqY788Fc P.S. Sorry for my bad english
    1
  2367. Heimlens Book is wonderful. The movie is cheesy awesomeness, love it. I never picked up on the fascistic parts that some people have labeled it with. Even re reading it, it seems like their world is fairly peaceful and the highest authorities have hard checks on their power. The high marshal in the movie stepped down, after a single defeat, a disastrous defeat sure, but there's plenty of times where that hasn't happened. Accountability is important, the book goes way more into it. How the publics perception of the military is in the highest importance. The public must have faith in the system or it will fail, no matter what they do. If someone hasn't already told ya. The big guys in power armor are Space Marines. In Warhammer 40k are "Trans Human". As they are heavily modified over a period of years from ( preferably ) just prier to adolescence for young men, to their 20's or so. Age varies, cryo sleep, hibernation, lack of apparent aging caused by their various genetic enhancements. So they stay in their "20's" for probably 200 years I'd guess? Not sure how that works exactly. They do age though, if they make it to 1k, they usually look visible much older. Check out Leutin09, Arch, Major Kill, Baldermort, Aborder Prince, and other folks videos! Space Marine creation for Leutin is pretty good.
    1
  2368. Boarding Torpedo will typically deploy a fast sealing foam to keep the area breached pressurized. No shit, they have melta warheads that literally melt through the ship. But as you say. even if it did de-pressurize they have sealed power armor.
    1
  2369. The weird dudes with the golden headpieces were just run of the mil Psychers Not high level ones there head and neck gear is standart psycher gear to enhance there psychic powers
    1
  2370. Astartes are closer to superman than any sort of human.
    1
  2371. In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war.
    1
  2372. that's actually cool to hear the guy got hired by GW, hell of a resume to bring at to the table
    1
  2373. The most important context here, of course, is that it's basically Capitan America supersoldiers in MK1 Iron Man armor (that's the big bulky one that can't fly)
    1
  2374. I didn't see it just scrolling down in the comments, so on the off chance you see this, we have no idea who the other guys are! They're clearly psykers, but that's all we know for sure
    1
  2375. It's very dark how impossible the crewmen's situation is. Nothing they can do will harm the SM. They see all their comrades getting shot and killed in mere moments, like an extermination, and each room just going silent, while these tanks don't even take a scratch of a damage. They know they are coming, and they know there is nothing that will stop them. Such a hopeless situation.
    1
  2376. The boarding vessel supposedly melts through the ship hull and than seals the hole. So pressure wouldn't be lost where the marines board. Not that they care. But pressure means sound, which is tactically better for them.
    1
  2377. remember that those guys were zealots no military training, just those two could do some real damage. And they were probably technomages.
    1
  2378. Looks like "Dark Mechanicus" or something like that The mechanicus of Mars is the Empires only source of tech and a majority of factorial maintanence and production. They are also batshit-crazy machine fetishists who would rather blow a world to shit than pick something apart to learn of its production. The dark mechanicus is the chaos version, who like to put daemons into machines and mix cyborgs with psykick powers
    1
  2379. Bounding retreat is useless against a Space Marine. He is too fast and too well armored. He doesn’t even need to engage you can can march right through while totally ignoring your futile attempts to slow him. That’s the point. Space Marines cannot be slowed and cannot be stopped except through enormously powerful weapons and usually those are avoided, dodged, or killed by the Marines or support vehicles. You’re talking about people so powerful that a couple million conquered the galaxy.
    1
  2380. Warhammer boarding vehicles eject a sealing foam.
    1
  2381. The dudes in the masks are low level psykers (yep, low level) and the masks are theorised as far as I remember to be psychic hoods that amplify their abilities and allow them to link their minds for a shared tactical awareness. Doesn't help them, gotta be a much higher grade of space mind-wizard to stop an Astartes squad by yourself.
    1
  2382. If you're running from space marines you do not cover your back, because space marines do not slow under fire... imo
    1
  2383. Naw, no naval battles. Not much time for watersports and other leisure activities when you're busy Purging vOv
    1
  2384. I don't think even a single marine had died up to the point that was shown in this video, so when you are nearly imprevious to the enemy, you sure as hell don't need to be careful
    1
  2385. You do not do a staggered retreat against astartes. Your only chance is to bring in heavy weapons, the multilaser gunner expected more time and panicked hard when he sees a marine so soon.
    1
  2386. You should react to Krieg tactics.
    1
  2387. You wouldn't be blamed for not recognising the antagonists; Samuel Peterson basically homebrewed them into existence.
    1
  2388. Slight correction on the Marines from Starcraft: Most of them are brainwashed convicts/political dissidents/undesirables that are mind wiped, reconditioned and imprisoned within their armor and sent out to die. The power armor functions as both their prison cell and something to keep them alive in hostile environments long enough to actually shoot something before they're killed ( as intended ). Not all of them of course but early versions of Starcraft books and info supplements on the game series went in to rather horrifying detail of the fascist shit they were subjected to before being sent to die in a conflict they neither knew of nor cared about.
    1
  2389. To answer your question about Bolters. Its actually a failing on part of some of the artists, and the fans. Who potray Bolter rounds as being these soda can sized things. In the actual lore the Bolter uses .75 caliber rounds. The heavey bolter uses 1 caliber or .997 caliber rounds. but exaggeration persists, and one of the consquenses has been people thinking a bolt shell is the size of a red bull can.
    1
  2390. I disliked because you were in the army.
    1
  2391. I don't know about all of you, but I'd just be a little pdf scrub. I aint good enough for the guard :'(
    1
  2392. Long and short of it, Chaos, chaos cultists. Cult of the Starchild.

  2393. Those gold mask guys are psykers that appear to be aligned/suborned by a xenos, alien power.
    1
  2394. You know? Next time have the video as the main screen and you in a little box in the corner. Just a helpful tip.
    1
  2395. The dude is a psyker and if you had see all of it you may see that he got a connection to an alien race that used the worp like we use elektsity
    1
  2396. Reminder bolters are missile launchers.
    1
  2397. Standard Bolter rounds are 1.0-caliber gyrojets with a small initial ejector charge and an APHE warhead set to burst after penetration. They're pretty chunky, but they are cylindrical and stackable in a magazine.
    1
  2398. Sure it's been said before but bolter rounds (the space marines use) are .75 cal up to 1.0 for the larger models or fixed/mounted emplacements. Big round but nowhere near the size of a soda can. I think the soda can thing started up when people assumed the large muzzle brakes in a lot of the artwork is the end of the barrel.
    1
  2399. Haha, he thinks bolters are the size of pistols.
    1
  2400. But.. that psycher fight scene was heavily edited. They cut out a lot of fighting moves in this one.WHY? This ruined som much of what went on!
    1
  2401. He questioned the ammo dimensions? This smells like herecy...
    1
  2402. I think it's less that the guardsmen have no value and more that the Astartes are far far more valuable. which is why they were willing to sacrifice a hallway full of guardsmen in the slim hope of killing a marine.
    1
  2403. If I remember correctly space marine is roughly 8foot tall genetically altered human. The bolter fires a self propelled 75mm equivalent explosive round. So not so much Easter eggs sized more redbull can sized rounds. 🤔
    1
  2404. Do not wish to comprehend the ways of chaos brother, for heresy only needs to be destroyed.
    1
  2405. Astartes are surgical units. Boarding tubes are about as subtle as they get lol. Bolters are pretty big theyre like mini rocket launchers. There arent many individuals that accuraetly fire successfully.
    1
  2406. You missed sooo much. I’d recommend watching this again. It’s worth it. Also the expendable baddies are probably some pirates or mercenaries just looking to get paid and the 2 big baddies seems to be knock off psychers in the 40k verse there are psychers but they’re born that way as appose to these that seem to need those spinal/neural implants. (Bootleg psychers) I guess. 1-That fighter that was escorting the breaching/boarding vessel breaks off and does a strafing run on the target ships engines. 2-Those tiny particles you mentioned in the asteroid field you can hear those smaller particles pinging off the hull of the breaching/boarding vessel. 3- those drone escorts weren’t targeting asteroids. They were actually intercepting and detonating income missiles that the target ship had fired. 2 volleys. 4-One of the space marines fired 2 shots into a room and cleared the room with a frag grenade before moving on. 5-that Ambusher got flanked. IMMEDIATELY. Almost as if those marines were intentionally going down that corridor to draw out the ambusher into giving away his position. 6- The marines on the balcony braced their bolters down onto the railing with their support hand. That I thought was clever. Small details like that usually don’t get thought of but this animator did. Excellent.
    1
  2407. The big guy with all the weird patterns on his skin is some kind of psyker -> guy with psychic powers. I was asking the same question, since psykers dress differently and even physically look different depending on culture.
    1
  2408. The turret was shutting down incoming missiles, not rocks.
    1
  2409. Astartes can actually fight unarmoured in a vacuum. Their third lung allows them 30 minutes of air, the melanchromic organ adapts their skin. There are canonical fight in the horus heresy where Astartes are fighting unhelmeted on the outside of void craft.
    1
  2410. Your reaction is a fucking dead stare. You are doing this wrong.
    1
  2411. Fun fact: Starcraft Terran Marines are ripoffs from WH 40K Space Marines
    1
  2412. Bolter rounds are basically rocket-propelled grenades in terms of size and destructiveness. They're "ultra armor-piercing" rounds. They're nasty pieces of kits. The blowback is actually SO strong from a bolter that no one but astartes can really handle it without shattering every bone in their body. That's why other elements have mounted versions or smaller ones like sisters of battle's bolters. They're considered relics and almost worshipped by the astartes, some dating back over 10,000 years of service.
    1
  2413. The thing about space marines is they don't really need cover, as seen through astartes their armour can handle more or less anything. Each one of them is basically a tank 😂
    1
  2414. As I knew, this people are members of the heretic cult invented by author like chapter of this spacemarins.

  2416. I find it funny how you say that the force retreating from the Asatartes should have done so in step by covering and retreating. What makes it funny is that they would have only died faster as the weapons in their disposal are not enough even just for slowing the astartes down. Also the astartes don'r really need to stop in order to mow down a bunch of normal humans armed with autoguns or lasguns, they have enough armor to keep them safe from anything short of an AT weapon and enough firepower and skill in melee to mow down few puny humans in matter of seconds. Also that heavy weapon (it's a twin multilaser btw) didn't pose much of a problem for the Astartes either so you can imagine what a bunch of puny humans fares against a monster like that with very inadequate weapons for the task :'D Also I like seeing people who don't know much about WH40k trying to wrap their heads around it, but do not worry brother for the Emperor shall forgive your mistakes.

  2417. Bounding retreat wouldn't work, their weapons are ineffective and they know it, the marines know it so gapping it was their only solution... which didn't work out anyway, but in terms of chances... it was the only one they had.
    1
  2418. Yeah but a bounding retreat would have no effect on a force of astartes advancing.none of your weapons would even slow them down.they were created to be the ultimate shock troopers,to advance so quickly and with such overwhelming force that nothing would bar their way.
    1
  2419. My understanding of those dudes in masks is that they are human psykers who have most likely turned towards chaos.
    1
  2420. So with the bolters you where talking about two very different weapons. The bolters used for suppressive fire where heavy bolters, which are the equivalent of a LMG, ( if a LMG fired 30mm gyro-jet HE rounds.) Looking back over the animation, he modeled these heavy bolts way too small. The other bolters , are just standard issue bolter, and they fairly smaller then other models for improved mobility in tight spaces, ( which is a lot of spaces for a 8 foot tall space marine). Standard issue bolters are also semi-automatic. The blue pistol is a plasma pistol, is commonly used against targets that are fortified or heavily armoured. The main reason being the plasma discharge, which works similar to napalm or phosphorus, the plasma expanses into a cloud of high heat plasma after striking a target, burning anything that it touches. Meaning that it can disperse over cover, eat through armour, melt weapons and people. Plasma pistols are also very unstable, and if used incorrectly, or correctly depending upon what your trying to do, will overcharge and detonate, potentially killing or maiming the soldier using the weapon. The guys in the masks are Psykers. The mask is actually a psykic hood, designed to allow a psyker to boost and control their psykic gifting.
    1
  2421. The bolter rounds are massive for sure. But the bolters themselves are huge as well. The difference between a space marine and a normal human meat sack is ridiculous. At the beginning you can tell just by seeing the comparison of them walking down that white corridor, and the small humans passing beside them heading the other way. Space marines are not normal humans, they are genetically engineered to be better. Faster, stronger, smarter. Multiple lungs, ridiculous muscle mass etc.

  2422. The hookplank was done by the Romans not the Greeks as I remember. The Romans had and advantage in infantry battles against the carthaginians and used those hookplanks to turn a naval battle into a infantry battle which gave them the advantage again.

  2423. This man mentioned 2 of my favorite franchises, 1) Warhammer 40k 2) the original Starship Troopers Book.
    1
  2424. Droping troops on a ship in space is a regular event in 40K. The drop "pod", if I may say, actualy eject a foam like matter in the back after the lasers cut trough the hull of the ship to get in it. Those ships got a couple of layers of hull for protection. The space marines, as many already wrote about, are not normal human beeing. They got extra limbs (two hearts just to start with) that make them even the possibility to survive into the emptyness of space. The "main" gun they use are called bolter... the "bolt" they fire are tiny rockets and explode after penetrating their target. The plasma gun is an officer gun and per that, rare and fracking powerful as small at it is. The main concept of 40K is really simple : No ... one ... are ... the good guys. If there is doubt about beeings to be rebels and/or chaos "lovers" (chaos may also include xenos/aliens in their points of view)... they're the enemies. Humanity is a dictatorial, close to theocratie for the worship toward the Emperor of mankind. There is plenty of planets in the galaxy that have been colonised and became actual "hive" to produce human beeing for them to serve the Emperor in all the ways they can be find of use for. No human have real rights.. soldiers (not the space marines) are canon meat on the battlefield. Officers can (and will) shoot anyone that want to turn back and flee the field (officers may, but not exclusively, be space marines ... there is simple humans too in that role) Most of the "people" gaining "ranks" can (and probably will) get augments to their body ... it may be pure tech or biotech. Space marines are a special case ... They are chosen into the population for their aggressiveness, for their violence... and they are trained afterward. Trained and modified... severly modified. All I wrote right there is so little details ... there is so much to write about ... but I don't have a couple years to explain all of that to cover only the humans in that universe.

  2425. The Plank thing & turning it into ground warfare is actually a Roman thing. It's because their navy sucked, but their ground troops were superior.

  2426. "Usually Space Marines and Astares will only fight Humans aligned with Chaos" Oh, oh no. No, no, no, no. There is no such limitation.

  2427. Space Marines = Space Storm Troopers = Space Nazis.... just saying
    1
  2428. The Marines pass normals on the way to the assault craft, that should give you some sense of scale. Bolters are not small, Space Marines are THAT big
    1
  2429. Most of them are cultists

  2430. Blue eyes, gold masks... Lured them into a trap even if it seemed like the space marines already won... Who does that sound like... I'm gonna need to figure out an action PLAN and solve this...

  2431. ive heard somewhere that bolter rounds are .75mm, and the magazines arent small if they were compared to a human they would be enormous. astartes are 8ft or so WITHOUT the armor
    1
  2432. i dont think this is a raid, i think its more of a cleansing
    1
  2433. I disagree with the bounding retreat. I mean 100% you do it normally, but when you're against an enemy that not only your guns don't hurt but they don't even care enough to ever take cover I think it would only slow down the retreat and make you a bigger target.

    1
  2437. Astartes don't even NEED a pressurized suit to survive the vacuum of space. One of their augmentations is a gland that excretes a mucous like membrane over their skin essentially creating a seal against exposure, the extra lung and lung compacity of those lungs along with a far more efficient blood oxygen carrying system means they can hold their breath for incredible amounts of time.
    1
  2438. Astartes brought me here, be sure to check all the episodes (5) edit: you haven't seen all episodes it seems
    1
  2439. The only problem with the bounding is that it was a route. And bounding isn't going to work for unarmored troops vs what is basically a bipedal tank who can move faster than you and is pursuing your team. Best you can do is gtfo and in this case, this part of the ship has no easy way to just displace so they are forced to try and escape as fast as they can. The gunner DID hold fire until the Astartes was in view and ya, these cult guys care nothing for their own side. The bolters in canon are .75 gyrojets that are a combination of AP and frag. Loading that many into a mag is a bit of movie magic, always has been IMO. Some canon also says they're supposed to be caseless so there's that too lol
    1
  2440. It's not a raid. It's a purge
    1
  2441. 10:30 it also doesn’t help when your fire presents at best a minor inconvenience to your target. Just look at how that space marine looks at the passing fire, like he’s disappointed. Also the Space Marine that killed him timed his footsteps with the firing of that guy’s gun.

  2443. Considering you using power armor and carring 40mm granade submachine guns, I said taking cover is unnecessary.

  2444. my guy if ANY of us knew what faction this was they were fighting... we wouldn't be here talking about it.. the Inquisition would remove us from the table
    1
  2445. To answer a few questions (I'm also Army Infantry): 1. The aliens here are based on a race that is now extinct by the 41st millennium. The creator did it unintentionally but it is essentially his own alien race that is fan made. 2. Modern room clearing concepts do not apply to Space Marines. As you said at the beginning, the point of the Universe is violence and ridiculousness. They can take the punishment of a tank with their armor alone. Even if wealonry penetrates that, they all have extra organs, blood that immediately clots and occasionally cauterizes depending on the situation (as you can see by the marines vomiting up blood), and for the most part no human weaponry can significantly hurt them. There are also ridiculous enhancements where some Space Marines can spit acid, have more strength than Orks, and even extreme tactical intelligence enhancements. They are made solely to defend humanity and fight xenos, but theh are used for surgical strikes now. Space Marines before the Horus Heresy (in the 30k years) are vastly different from these ones. It would take a few hours to explain it bht just research the Horus Heresy and it's effects on the Galaxy. 3. The torpedoes lock open and seal themselves so the ship they are boarding does not lose pressure. Even if they didn't, most ships have automatic shield deployments, bulkhead seal-offs, or drones to auto-repair hull breaches very quickly. 4. Bolters are MASSIVE. Firing a bolter would dislocate, if not rip off the arm of a normal human. If I remember correctly, bolter rounds are .75 caliber missiles essentially. Space Marines are just stupid strong and are about 8 feet tall.
    1
  2446. My only addition that i've not seen pointed out here. Astartes don't primarily fight Chaos aligned humans. Really, Astartes will face off with any enemy that is causing enough difficulty that the ordinary guard can't effectively handle it on their own. Space marines quite regularly face off against Xeno races of all kinds, and there are chapters who have faced off with specific enemies so frequently that they have developed specializations against those particular alien races. The Raven Guard, for example, have fought a rather long campaign against the Tau. The Ultramarines have brawled with Tyranids often enough to have developed specialized tactics and wargear to face them, and they spent the longest time refusing any form of overt specialization. Heck, the Inquisitions Ordo Xenos specialist military branch, the Deathwatch, is made up entirely of Space Marines chosen from the best warriors of the various Chapters who have extensive knowledge and specialization dealing with Xeno races. So, it's a bit inaccurate to say they usually only face the forces of chaos.

  2447. Okay Lorgar.

  2448. I only found your video in my recommendations today and being a warhammer fan I thought I'd give it a watch, and answer one or two things if they haven't been answered already. Space Marines are between 7-10 feet tall depending on rank. Bolters have a .75 calibre round, when fired from the gun it has a "rocket" effect that propels it and that is the reason for the easteregg shape. The soldiers they are fighting is a corrupt version of Imperial Guardsmen, and the Guardsmen have little value for comrades even before being corrupted by chaos magic. They have a motto "If we can't beat the enemy, we shall drown them with our own corpses". The "magic" duo at the end are Tech-Priests, they don't usually have the magical power to stop a Space Marine in his tracks. But chaos magic is bad juju... Anyway hope this helps.

  2450. 11:20, he didn't get "Picked up by" games workshop he go absorbed whether he liked it tor not like many other fan made warhammer creators. GW is taking down a ton of these talented people giving them an ultimatum of join us or face lawsuits/censoreship. Just a few days ago SODAZ had the same thing happened, all his war hammer videos nuked off youtube. This is why while I love warhammer and the lore I won't buy anything from GW, not a single cent.
    1
  2451. i still find the greatest bit about the space marines in terms of their abilities is 500 astartes would be considered overkill for taking over current-day Earth, even if all of us joined forces to try and repel them
    1
  2452. Pistol Rounds for a Bolter weapon are 70-75MM in size. Usually they come in 30-50 round clips, larger clips do exist but they don't look like normal clips. Those, psychic guys? Are some sort of experiment? I don't know for sure. The heads on them are implanted on the ... beings.. ? whatever they are. They aren't actual humans, I don't think. There's a LOT of weird sh*t going on in that universe.

  2462. There's 2 instances of suspected Russian assassins acting in the UK both on Russian defectors that you alude to an hour in. The first was Alexander Litvenenko who was poisoned with polonium 210 and subsequently died. The second was Sergei Skripal who was poisoned with Novichok. Though Sergei survived this method was less discrimate and several others were poisoned by the chemical agent including Sergei's daughter, a police constable and 2 unknown victims. One of which died.

  2463. There is universal law in the Imperium - The Lex Imperialis. Imperium of Mankind's politics is organized bit like Roman Republic with Senate - Senatorum Imperialis and Consuls - High Lords of Terra. Instead of noble houses and parties, there are imperial factions, e.g. Inquisition, navis nobilite (navigator houses), Mechanicus, Ecclesiarchy (church), Custodes etc.

  2466. A welcome surprise (albeit a long one given how many episodes the series have). In fact, as someone below has already said, it has a veritable treasure trove of things to give extra context to (battle plans, logistics, behind-the-scenes politics, plot turning points, incompetence etc). In a way, everything on this channel also doubles as learning experience (at least, that's how I see it). (Side note - who would put a dislike to this video, some people, ccc(or tsk tsk tsk, for english-speaking individuals)).
    1
  2467. Can barely hear original video, also Arch himself is a bit "controversial"
    1
  2468. I think the imperium does have nuetral contract enforcement but it only applies to those lower on the food chain- the high lords or the inquisitors can completely overrule/ignore it, but they probably didn't care enough to make sure the law went how they wanted it to in this case, as long as the ecclesiarchy aren't allowed to have an army powerful enough to do all that much (since the real reason for the law is just to prevent them from trying to take over again)- and the sisters of battle, while powerful, really don't have the resources to go around invading planets or anything. They're pretty much religious body guards / special forces.

  2469. As glad as I am that you are reacting to this, I am saddened that its not Helsreach.

  2470. The way the Imperium works is similar to the Civil Service in the UK, all very concerned about the "autonomy" of their departments above efficiency and will of the Ministers that are meant to be in charge. Easyist way to get rid of a troublesome Minister is bad advise that has the ability to undermine and destroy their career.

  2473. 11:10 "The death of Stalin" is such a greate Satire. 15:30 There is a terrorist group called "Thorians" they believe that the empreror can be resurrected or his spirit placed into a new body. They adapted the name from "Sebastian Thor" who was an important figure in the fight against "Goge vandire" during the "Age of Apostasy" (Why they are suspicious of a militarized Church) he was also involved in the creation of the Adepta Sororitas (As a High Lord of Terra - High Ecclesiarch), while he just wanted to serve the emperor other saw him as literal Holy Man - or as the Thorians Believe an incarnation or perhaps reincarnation of the emperor. In the lore, and game Power isnt going out from preachers themselves, it's rather that they are empowered by the emperor through their beliefs and willingness to serve. But maybe I'm wrong . About living Saints:

  2476. Adeptus Astartis are only male as its the limitation of the gene seed. Adepta Sororitas are only female because nuns.
    1
  2477. Its more comon for women to have the blank genes than it is for men however for the psyker gene its about a 50/50 split.
    1
  2478. Custodes armor is modified on the molecular level to be certain colors. Gold is just the royal color of the emperor. Their organization structure is extremely flat with only three ranks from custodian guard to shield captain, to captain General. Each custodes is a hero unto themselves. On the tabletop I once had a single custodian guard take on a space marine character and dreadnought in single combat and win thats why I love custodes.
    1
  2479. I believe callidus assassins are mostly female due to a higher affinity to the polymorphic drugs they take to change the shape of their bodies.
    1
  2480. I think I remember an explanation about blanks as being so rare that if 1 psyker is found from 10 million people, 1 blank is found in 1 billion people or something like that. And blanks can be male or female, the sisters of silence are a special order of blanks. It also makes sense that the custodes would be tasked by the emperor in securing an important individual since none of them are psykers.
    1
  2481. There are no psykers in the custodes, but they have their ways.
    1
  2482. Blanks can be male too. Sisters of Silence are all female just because mostly. Blanks suppress warp influence around them, basically de powering demons and making using psychic powers and spells extremely difficult.
    1
  2483. Anyone can be born with the blank gene. Its just that very few with it survive past childhood. Which kinda comes done to a if I have my math right 46% male and 54%female.
    1
  2484. About sex divide: It's a thing in the lore that only MEN can become Space Marines since all Women simply don't survive the implantation of geneseed. Maybe that's the same reason with Custodes and women don't survive their transformation into super-humans. The Blanks are not limited only to women since there are male Culexus Assassins (who are blanks). I don't know why the Sisters of Silence are all female though. The Adepta Sororitas, as it was said in the comments for previous video - are all female because of the Decree Passive which forbade the Church from having "men under arms".

  2485. Comments for the Algorithm God
    1
  2486. Two-legged mecha make more sense in a sense that you can turn them around faster and there are less parts to control while moving. You don't need to coordinate each limb to move in harmony. Furthermore, four-legged mechas are the same as two-legged mechas in regard to becoming crippled when either leg on their bodies gets damaged. And about crossing distance, something as big as an Imperial Knight has the ability to outpace any ground unit which was not built with speed in mind by simply walking. Those monsters are actually quite mobile.
    1
  2487. Walkers are generally completely unrealistic, but IF they were feasible there's basically one reason to use them, which is that you need to mount a weapon heavier than an aircraft or helicopter can carry on a platform with an extremely high vantage point. They basically serve as a sort of exaggerated CAS platform that trades mobility for armor and firepower.
    1
  2488. The paychic blank Gene is absurdly rare because basically you have to have very specific but pretty much impossible to recreate conditions, and the sisters of silence take all the female blanks they can get their hands on. But Blanks in 40k basically are people born without a soul, and are just pure consciousness. But the second assassin. They're "female only" because art and the model, but they are just people capable of shape-shifting due to a drug and mentally trained to actually adopt the mannerisms of whoever they are impersonating to the point they actually belIeve they are the person they are impersonating...but then they can still overwhelm that fake personality and take control and kill their target at any time. Like basically you're honey potted by your own wife, and then she suddenly turns into a dude in latex and kills you with some weird wrist mounted pistol while the two of you were in the middle of a passionate night. And basically all four assassin temples have a particular use. The sniper one is your typical "JFK president assassination" from the movies, the shape changer is to steal something and "when we went inside the whole family had taken cyanide and killed themselves", then the next two are "you and everyone on your staff are unidentifiable pools of blood and the killer exploded when we tried to capture him" and "yeah you surroundes yourself with Daemons, psychic mind readers and magic spells, as well as the best bodyguards in this arm of the galaxy, and this guy was able to make the psychics heads explode, the daemons disappear, walked through and broke every spell, and the bodyguards all looked away until he was able to walk up and start choking you"
    1
  2489. Again, a great tip is to try and not rationalize anything about the 40k universe TOO MUCH. There are things that will make no sense other than "rule of cool" or just GW not knowing how to explain stuff properly. Amazing insight to each topic in the video as always!
    1
  2490. They have Access to the emperors tarot cards basicly
    1
  2491. From what I can tell, the Callidus temple (the all-female assassin crew) are used mostly against human targets since their specialty is infiltration, so the honeypot thing can work. As for why they are ALL female, I'll admit I don't really know, but looking around the internet, the answer to Callidus gender seems to be 'yes'. Since they can morph their bodies, the question of male or female is largely irrelevant to them. So, for all we know, the reason Callidus seem portrayed as women in skintight gear, is that's just the way Callidus like to brand themselves for public consumption so as to give the entire Imperium uncomfortable boners. A Callidus that is actually working will be whatever gender they need to be for the role.
    1
  2492. Last comment, promise. Imperial Assassins actually have six schools. Vindicare are snipers, primarily. They use a variety of special ammunition to help get the job done, such as bullets made to penetrate energy shields, or turbo-penetrator rounds that can punch through walls. Callidus are deceivers and shapeshifters, and they can potentially take the form of Xenos. There's a story of one Callidus using their "polymorphene" drug to let her swallow a baby and smuggle the child out of a hostile area in her stomach! Eversors aren't really assassins at all - they're bio weapons you unleash when you want want to not only kill someone, but everyone else in the building. It's a walking war crime, basically. Culexus are Soulless, like the Sisters of Silence, but they have weaponised their Soullessness with arcane machinery. Mortals experience extreme terror in their presence, and Psykers not only lose their powers, but can potentially outright die of terror. Now for the two this video has missed. Venenum is not well known about, but they are masters of toxins. Vanus is perhaps the most mysterious, but most interesting assassin temple. They are information assassins - controllers and corruptors of knowledge itself. What little we know suggests that they engineer the fall of their victims - key safety systems fail, or their bank accounts suddenly turn empty when the mercenaries want payment. They are the truly 'unseen' killers, for their murders look like sheer misfortune.

  2493. dude you are fascinating to listen to

  2494. The Custodes aren't psykers. When one of them is sent to guard someone who will be of importance in the future, he is sent by one of the High Lords of Terra, the one in charge of the Astronomicon, if memory serves me right. The Blank gene hasn't been really well explained here. As far as I know, it's incompatible with the Y chromosome, so men don't manifest it. What women with this gene actually do is that they project something like an anti-psyker field unconsciously, blocking the link every mind has with the Immaterium, and creating this way the awkward feeling of uneasiness mentioned, that can escalate to physical discomfort in the case of people with actual psychic abilities.
    1
  2495. adeptus sororitas is exclusivly women, becouse of a loopehole. The law states that the church cannot have men bearing arms (aka dont raise an army). But since it says man, th church just vent ahead and stated that "men" where not to bear arms for the church, so they got an army from women to circomvent the intent of the law
    1
  2496. The sisters of silence is a female order specifically not sure if there's a reason why, blanks are both male and female
    1
  2497. You mentioned "sex thing" about armies, I have no idea about sisters of silence. But Space Marines gene seed only work on male genes since Emperor of Mankind was a male. Adeptus Sororitas only females because some sick bastard trained only females to rebel against The Empire, later space marines charged in and took over the building but were pretty impressed with their passion and faith in the Emperor, they decided that its better to keep them and don them with Astartes' armor.
    1
  2498. The reason why custodians are immune to corruption both mundane and chaos, is that while space marines are indoctrinated with outright brainwashing technology they still retain a sense of self for lack of better words, in custodians this is done to a point where it is not inaccurate to say that custodes are automatons (robots) made of flesh.
    1
  2499. Humans regardless of gender can be carriers of the blank gene. Ferik Jurgen,commisar Ciaphas Cain's adjutant is an example of a male carrier of the blank gene. Despite his shortcomings in the areas of interpersonal skills¹ and basic hygiene² his innate ability to disrupt warpfuckery has saved commisar Cain more times than Cain cares to remember. ¹being shunned for most of his life didn't exact give him many chances to develop them in the first place. ²is said to have sufficiently severe body odor to take out a carnifex.

  2500. The assassins from the second temple use body altering chemicals and tech that interacts with their hormones to allow for shape shifting. As far as I know there is no factor that dictates that most blanks or psychers are male or female so I’d assume the sisters are doing it out of tradition but I could be wrong. The custodies generally stay out of politics in large part due to their job effectively isolating them from the rest of the galaxy since they almost never leave the fortress. In fact in one case they saw a battle occurring on the premises between two armies and had to look into recent history and catch up just to understand and diffuse the situation. The sisters of battle (adeptus sororitas) were originally a small all female church that were turned into the private guard of a man named Goge Vandire. He renamed them into the brides of the emperor and tricked them into believing he was blessed by the emperor. Goge had taken power over the church and military and used his authority as a tyrant to the point that the military and citizens revolted. The battle occurred on earth at the emperor’s fort and the custodies got involved. They explained the situation to his guards and they personally killed him. Afterwards the new leadership made laws banning the use of a private army by the church but through a technicality they were able to use the brides (now called adeptus sororitas) as their new army. Hope some of this clears things up.
    1
  2501. The Praetorians are more like their Roman predecessors and the Queens Guard, they are not ceremonial in the slightest. Blanks are hard to explain, reverse pyskers. Caladis use women as they have a better pain resistance to being physically altered (in lore)

  2502. none of the custodians are psychers as far as i know wouldnt want to use psychic powers for precognition anyway as it will only show you options eldar farseers spend millennia in training before they are even close to useful and they have a lot of experience trying to weave the treads of fate and they still usually fail the gods laugh at a mortals plans, and the future is the realm of the gods, specifically tzeensh the god of lies using psychics to predict the future has only reliably been done by the night haunter and it drove him insane... or more insane, he started off pretty insane by the end the screaming palace didnt help

  2503. Bipedal mechs are versatile if done right and its easy for us to understand intrinsically but its hard for us to figure it out technologically if something like a neural link becomes possible then bipedal mechs would be a huge advantage and things are already trending in that direction. There are probably better platforms we could design but having just a base instinct would be important we already know how to move our bodies. Honestly a spider type mech is probably more practical at least in the near future and if we start using AI assisted combat mechs who knows planes are getting there. Right now I know the US is putting a lot of interest in Exo skeleton suits which makes sense enhancing humans at least in the short term is probably superior to making new vehicles.

  2504. Fun Custodes Fact, they all have incredibly long names that do not contain their true name because in the Warhammer Universe, knowing something's true name has power. Which is why Daemons also do not use their true names.

  2505. Blanks can be men too, its just a cultural thing that the SIsters are all female. Jurgen, the Sidekick of Commissar Ciaphas Cain is a male Blank.

  2515. Hey, great video amigo! Earned a subscribe.

  2516. You are absolutely right: the Empire has no moral high ground. However, it seems to be the only possible way of having some moral ground anywhere in this universe, sincerely any alternative would be the demise of humanity against xenos or chaos. Regarding the rigid unwillingness to ally with Tau or Eldari however is another issue (and from time to time there is an exception to the rules), which should be mentioned in this context. Of course the vastness of pain and misery of populations of countless worlds stands hardly any trial with it: yet within some worlds, within the authority of the inquisition (watch Inquisitor Eisenhorn in that regard), within the spirit of rogue pirates and even within the branches of the military there is room for love, mercy, redemption, care, empathy, hope. Without the imperium there most certainly would not be any. Although this maybe is a little too pessimistic, though I am not sure about it. Maybe because my knowledge of the lore isn’t in depth enough, maybe because it is designed that way, and maybe even because this is the or a selling point of fascism itself...

  2517. I like such videos much more. 1. Does not have react in the title since i don't associate quality content with that word. Plus considering you often pick the videos where you can actually give some interesting insight i doubth you would want that association either. Though it's already in channel name oh well; 2. When there is no exaggerated emotion photo of the one youtuber on the thumbnail. It can serve the purpose of recognition of who the video belongs too but it's so overused that people follow this trend because everyone does it as if you don't you are not going to be successfull. And it does feel like someone tries to cheap bait me as a kid; 3. Personnaly i don't like when someone pressig me to do something: give a subscribe, give a bell, give a like, make a comment. Take Astartes for example - nothing of that present in his videos, only informational and thank you message at the end. People generally know what to do when they like the content they see. As to the video i would put in the introduction the validation for "soldier's perspective" part. Because if there is a unique touch of your combat expirience to your perspective then it's valid and if not i consider it a clickbait. Thank you for the content, i enjoyed quite a few of it.

  2518. I would argue that there is a difference between National Socialism and Fascism, while both are part of the same genus, I would argue that they operated differently.

  2526. so "S" Tier means "Super" (like S on a Superman) Primarchs were genetically engineered from the DNA of the Emperor (modified of course by him as to not be carbon copy) Space Marines are also Genetically modified. They are all usually depicted as bald but in truth they probably just shave their heads cuz they are soldiers.

  2530. The Emperor wasn't as xenophobic as the Imperium would believe; he was certainly wary of them (because in the long past, a galactic event happened that affected all races, and previous alliances between humans and aliens crumbled in the chaos as it became an "every race for themselves" situation), but usually a dialogue was attempted, and any races that submitted were implemented into the Imperium, though these are very few and far between, and usually races refused and they were wiped out. Without the Emperor's direct guidance after he was put on the golden throne, humanity was on it's back foot and didn't have the strength to be caught off guard, and so chose to mostly initiate pre-emptive attacks on any races they found, though if the race is sentient and willing to reason, sometimes cease-fires and shaky alliances can be formed, and some planets on fringe worlds without much direct Imperial control even trade with some of the more peaceful xenos races
    1
  2531. As a Tau player, i am somewhat offended by the hate they recieve in the comment section. There is, aside from the machinations of the ethereals, nothing wrong with them. they work for a greater good and have a "let live" policy. They never strike first, when they encounter a new species and try to tradefirst and colonize on remote areas of planets to not get in the way of the people already living there. only when they are threatend, they respond rightiously in kind.
    1
  2532. IIRC: the emperor didn't want people to worship gods, or practice religion. Doing so creates more gods, and gods are assholes. The emperor knew that gods existed, he just wanted to kill them through disbeleif.
    1
  2533. Most xenos in the galaxy wanted humanity dead so yea the emperor was xenophobic just like every other race was to them.

  2534. Vulkan, the nicest and arguably best of the Primarchs, is in fact bald. So bald can be bad or good. Bald is a power to be used for good or evil.

  2540. so about the whole not all xenos, the emperor was definitly in favor of killing the bad Xenos, lucky for everybody trying to figure out whos good or bad there are only bad xenos in the galaxy. one part of Horus falling of grace, or atleast him losing his absolut devotion was the Interex incident, the interex was a human socity which was almost the opposite to the Imperium, they where mostly peacefull, worked with aliens and showed abhuman traits, an indicator of possible interbreeding with xenos, and even spared a race of absolut brutal killy aliens after taken every chance of space travel from them. But despite all of this they prospered doring old night. Wich intrigued Horus, because it went against everything the Emperor told him about how Humanity would survive. So he used his power as Warmaster to maybe strike an alliance with the Interex instead of destroying them for harboring the Alien anyway, one thing lead to another and the Interex got completly whiped out Because of this, im pretty sure that the emperor was pro Xenocide just in general

  2541. "hey im a heretic" same lol

  2542. Umm, about the muskets, some worlds in the 40k setting have the technological level of pre-industrial earth. There are stories of armies armed with field cannon and muskets being used against space marines.

  2543. Please play more than 10 seconds before rambling
    1
  2544. I'm really impressed with your intuition. You figured out the Evil Scale pretty quickly. In 40k, many races are not perceived as being evil simply because they don't have a concept of evil in their own culture, or sometimes because they don't even have a culture.
    1
  2545. Completely agree with your pet theory. Warhammer always makes me feel better about our world.
    1
  2546. Don't worry about the bald thing. The primarch with the nicest hair, Fulgrim, was one of the traitors, whereas the nicest pro-Humanity primarch Vulkan is bald as an egg.

  2552. The Emperor is denying the existence of gods because doing so weaken them. Gods are sustained by faith and (unbeknownst to him) emotions. By creating an empire of atheists, the Emperor was hoping that he could minimize the gods' influence and keep his people safe.
    1
  2553. To give you a bit of context as there REALLY isn't too much to the Adeptus Arbites, basically what they are simply as on an Imperial World you have two forms of law enforcement, on the one hand you have the Enforcers who are basically your standard street cops with a few detectives here and there. While the Adeptus Arbites would be more similar to the FBI or some other higher law-enforcement agency that'll investigate and deal with much more serious crimes which would be considered much more threatening. They're more heavily equipped than the Enforcers because on certain worlds you'll see what is known as an Arbites Precinct Fortress which serves as both a prison for more serious criminals and as a base of operations for the Arbites in the event certain events occur such as riots.
    1
  2554. The Emperor knew of the Chaos Gods but also knew that fighting them directly was not really an option at the time. He did try to minimize their power and influence however and his crusade did less for them than you might think. After all, this is still the warhammer 40k galaxy we are talking about, there was endless conflict and chaos going on already so pouring more gasoline onto the fire was not really a big concern. He also did his best to try minimize the issue since there is a difference between how much a Chaos God benefits from an act based upon the intent of the people involved. Khorn will not get as much from someone just murdering someone else compared to someone doing it specifically in his name and even less if the person never even knew gods themselves existed. That is why the Emperor pushed the idea of the Imperial Truth, that there was no such thing as the super natural and everything had a scientific explanation. It was to protect people from the influences of Chaos while simultaneously giving them as little nourishment as possible. It was not a perfect solution but it was an attempt and he was also working actively on the next important step of separating humanities need on Chaos when the heresy happened.

  2557. While the lasgun alongside much imperial texhnology is woefully outclassed in 40k, it should be said that decorated tactical commanders in the imperial guard are some of the most capable tacticians and battlefield analysts in the entire 40k universe. They have to be in order to stand toe to toe with what they're up against. A particularly noteworthy guard general was a man by the name usarkar e creed

  2558. A million worlds. About 1/4th are hive worlds with more than 50 Billion humans. About 1/8th of all worlds are high density hive worlds ( so a quarter of all hive worlds ) are 100 Billion + worlds. You have quintillions of humans - AT LEAST. As for the gods? Those gods that are there you don't want to have as gods. The guy that wanted the extremely tall soldiers was a german king, and it were the Potsdam Giants: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potsdam_Giants

  2559. I am not sure if anyone said this but the lasgun energy packs are rechargable by sunlight or tossing it on a fire. So infinite ammo supplies. Also the energy packs work with any lasgun model.

  2560. To answer the question of wether the Emperor was xenophobic: He was a secular fascist even back when he was "uniting" Earth through countless war efforts under his rule, who believed that for humanity to survive in the sh*thole of a galaxy that is the 40k milky way they'd need to genocide or enslave (which is a form of genocide, mind) every alien species they would come across as they (re)colonized the galaxy. So yes, the emperor of mankind was already xenophobic. In regards to that xenophobia being "justified" as some 40k fans would put it: Not really. At the very least the (non-dark) Eldar and the Tau are prime ally material against the Orks(who are basically a bio weapon while sharing a psychic hivemind that only makes them happy while fighting), Necrons (mostly mindless robots doing the bidding of soul eating titans) and Tyranids(who are a bestial hivemind) while Chaos could probably be made less harmful through pursuing peace above everything else due to being susceptible to their nature being altered through the galaxy's emotional landscape. Meanwhile the Dark Eldar are too isolationist and more of a pirating faction than to actually be a problem most of the time. Then there are countless sapient species on as-yet undiscovered or technologically inept worlds (because "real space" isn't actually fully discovered yet) who basically are of little strategic importance which the Emperor probably did not even think of when coming up with his war doctrines... Which now will be culled by any imperial forces who come across them. So no, it's not justified xenophobia.

  2563. There's fan song in russian "40000 ways to die". And there's a line "And when all my attempts are in vain, and it seems like it can't be worse, I remember about the fucking warhammer, and sometimes it helps". So yes, your theory about wh40k popularity is correct.
    1
  2564. oh boy, there are so many Gods in 40k. The Emperor is a God like Being. Then there are the 4 Major Chaos Gods and several minor Chaos Gods. The Eldar created literal Gods and used them as Pokemons The Orks have their Gods Gork and Mork which are apparently the strongest and most Powerful Gods in all of 40K Then there is the Starchild, another God like Being Then we have the Old Ones who were the Creators of Everything And there are the Ctan which are basically like the Old Ones...but "Evil"

  2569. On the note of old ass weapons in Afghanistan one of my buddies on the other side of the river recovered a smle 303 during bda on a fighting position. We even recovered an old ass dp28 over there. A lasgun on average in the lore (some authors go back and forth on power) is similar to a 338 Norma mag or 300 win mag in power but the "recoil" (there is still a tiny bit of kick back due to capacitor release though once again lore is inconsistent) being more like a 22mag or 22 spitfire. On the note of keeping armies away from the capital, the Imperium kinda does and doesn't do this. Battlefleet Solar is the defense fleet for the Terran system and its the largest fleet by Far, you also have the Imperial Fists Chapter of Astartes based on Terra (but they are a fleet chapter on paper and who's loyalty is beyond reproach) with the mighty Phalanx as their mobile space station Death Star Fortress Monastery, the Fleets on Mars, and the base of the Adeptus Custodes (once again loyal beyond question). On the note of Horus going traitor, the Horus Heresy can truly be tracked back to the Word Bearers Legion, the Primarch Lorgar, Erebus, and Kor Pheron as the true spiders behind the scenes that corrupted the other legions to go traitor, but you were right on the lych pin being last as Horus in a way was corrupted right before the traitors started moving forward with their plans to start "cleansing" their legions of the loyalists to the Emperor from their ranks and setting up the traps that would insure the insurrectionists had the advantage in the opening salvos of the Civil War also ensuring that they could maintain a heavy fog of war to confuse the loyalist forces ensuring that rallying would be next to impossible.

  2570. The emperor would actually properly love the Tau, as they are kinda what he hope humans would become. Atheist, working to better mankind and technological advanced. Even the Ethereal brain control would properly not bother him, as he has done the same a couple of times. And ironical the Tau would properly be willing to actually follow him too.

  2574. If you want a super deep dive into the lore and characters involved, I'd recommend Luetin09. He does a great job of telling the stories behind the events and different factions of Warhammer 40K. Be advised, though, that a lot of the lore is intentionally vague, since that's how Games Workshop (the Warhammer creators) set it up. Their logic is that a lot of information and facts were lost during all the wars and periods of strife in the past, so we don't know what's real and what isn't.

  2575. S tier is perfect score in the Metal Gear Solid missions, and resident evil and such

  2591. emotional maturity is not really the strength of a space marine, they get recruited as CHILDREN and then get put through hell and indoctrination into a mindset that focuses on duty and aggression. Priamus is still very young and had probably no time to "grow up". its an enormous problem for the bloodclaws of the space doggos as well

  2592. The lack of unified command is not so much an oversight as it is a product of 10,000 years plus of grim dark.

  2593. Something I've learned is to never let anyone on to the fact that I don't like them. Stay friendly, learn just enough about them to be able to BS/commiserate with them. Then, at minimum, they won't stand in your way...at least not out of spite.
    1
  2594. I tried explaining this without spoilers on your last video lol. In the last video you asked about the voice issues. When all is well you will hear 2 voices as two minds are present the titan spirit which consists of a very intelligent but labotomised AI as well as imprints of all previous pilots and the second mind is the current pilot/princepts. When things go wrong the two minds will battle it out for supremacy. Most chaos titans have beaten their princepts or the princepts have become deamon hosts. Storm herald wants to be in close quarters and wants to take the fight to the enemy but they are in the wrong body for this as imperiters are long range artillery support for titans. Possibly storm herald has been touched by khorn. (not much evidence other then a artillery peice wants to fight close combat.
    1
  2595. So back when you first mentioned confusion over titian pilots. A titian is so complicated that only a true AI (Abominable intelligence) can run it. To compensate for that they attach a Princeps to it. Now back to her first line, "Storm herald wakes...and I must walk!" The moment that titan was activated the AI began screaming "MURDER, DEATH, KILL!" over and over again. Why her goal was finding big battle ASAP, to shut the AI up. Now at all times the Princeps has memories of every battle the titan has ever been in playing in her subconscious, basically imagine commanding a tank with the voices of Kurt Knispel, Lavrinenko Dmitriy Fyodorovich, Alfie Nicholls and Lafayette G. Pool whispering to you. However say in the emotional distress of battle you get overwhelmed the AI personalities will overtake you and you forget who you are. When that happens the Titan operators will shut down the titan and pop-in new Princeps.

  2603. Im gonna be threading on the edge of heresy now, but there is also the question of how human is the Emperor really is. He s a perpetual, and iirc he s actually a group of perpetual who merged into one. I feel like Emperor is very similar to humans as the Ethereals to Tau. They assume the role of shepherd and change the society drastically because they can.

  2604. Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. Thank you very much for your time. Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them). Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI). Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy. Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI). Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad). Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning! Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures. Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement. It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them. (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).. Salam (Peace)..

  2620. If things get complicated or confusing with the lore just know that early warhammer tried to capitalise on anything popular in fantasy or scifi at the time by finding ways to add any new trope that came by into the lore but over time the stories kinda evolved and got better with somewhat better details resulting in what is some of the most unique and complex fantasy/scifi stuff out there tho that refinement process is still ongoing so a load of lore is jumbled up between the old and the new lore, also the original writer was this edgy dude hence giving birth to the grimdark theme

And Tau style is just oriented on Feudal Japan designs. [So yeah, they are the weeb faction]) Also one thing that should never be forgotten is that WH40k got created by Neckbeards for Neckbeards. And then they started making money and the Neckbeards got replaced with soulless Suit wearer.

  2637. No the emperor isn't bi the joke is that some people keep trying to push for female space marines but the people who respect the lore say no because space marine genetics are based on the primarks and the primarks were all male.. That and the idea is this version of the emperor is a manchild, think the no girls allowed sign on a tree house
    1
  2638. Agree it was clearly a joke about him being childish. Think no girls allowed sign on a treehouse. Also the reasoning that because he's the guardian of all mankind he's presumably attracted to all of them is weird. By that logic every dad is also a pedo.

  2639. The Emperor being a little gay would explain his obsession with building big muscular mountains of men.

  2642. spoiler warning: the emperor is neither a teenager, bi or stupid. He has magic powers that let him see potential futures. He's intentionally trying to put kitten into a position where he will go out into galaxy and start fixing problems.

  2643. In my opinion Goge is a play on mythological Gog and Magog. Quote from Encyclopedia Britannica Gog and Magog, in the Hebrew Bible, the prophesied invader of Israel and the land from which he comes, respectively; or, in the Christian Scriptures (New Testament), evil forces opposed to the people of God. Although biblical references to Gog and Magog are relatively few, they assumed an important place in apocalyptic literature and medieval legend. They are also discussed in the Qurʾān (see also Yājūj and Mājūj).

  2644. The spleen thing is not so unbelievable if you look at flagellants during the black plague in europe. Those folk whipped themselves bloody on a procession through a town and the crowds would literally scoop it up with cloth and smear it into their eyes. "Take your eye socket" should probably be understood the same way you take somebody's hand, that is not removing it.

  2648. That lenghty speech was actually lore. Also, when the captain general took the leader of the Bride of the Emps (soon the become the sisters of battle) to the emperor, none of it was logged so we do not know what happened inside
    1
  2649. To answer your pet peeve with my own pet peeve: striven absolutely is a word. It's the past participle of strive.

  2652. It's funny how uncomfortable this makes you.

  2653. Some of the jokes and manner of speech in this series shouldn't be taken too seriously, and analyzing in-depth the Emperor's phrasing whenever he crack an insult or remark feel a little too much imo. It's like explaining a joke or asking if it is realistic, it stopped being a joke then.

  2660. Ok fun fact, back in the 80s and early 90s Games Workshop had a female space marine model line, but NOBODY bought them they were so unpopular. So GW retconned them and replaced them with the sisters of battle as a separate entity, which was so popular that they exist to this day. The dark comedy is that GW tried female representation in a product that already existed, and EVERYONE hated it. So GW gave female representation to a brand new product and everyone loves it. Yet people STILL want female space marines despite the fact that they will hate it when they finally get it. Sometimes customers don’t know what they really want and are not always right.
    1
  2661. Weird and uncomfortable is mostly the point Of this I feel...

  2662. Striven is the past participle for Strive, its just not a word that gets a lot of use.

  2663. Flashlight guys are the imperial guard. They las gun is sometimes called a flashlight. They also controlled the military and civilian logistics (outside of the mechanics) and record keeping of the imperium. You use the hole of course. It is the speech from the lore. Including his response. No. He has been around since the beginning of humanity. I don’t think so. I think it was more a “no girls allowed, you have cudies” joke.

    1
  2668. "flash light guys" is probably a reference to the imperial guard. Their guns are fondly called flashlights by the 40k players, because they are energy based weapons that kill just about as well as one.
    1
  2669. No I think it's a reference to The Doge of Venice.
    1
  2670. ok so you don't have to break down every joke in a comedy
    1
  2671. Honestly the spleen waving part just sounds like religion in general to me but perhaps just a tad to self harming. As for the flashlight guys comment he means the imperial guard. Their laser guns (called lazguns) are jokingly referred to by the fans as flashlights for their effectiveness, though this is just a severe exaggeration. Also the whole brides of the emperor thing was the original name of the sisters before they became the official army of the church.

  2672. Emperor had lots of sexual contacts and children actually.

  2675. Goge vandire. The second g has more of a rolling j sound. Like go-jjjjj with a silent e at the end.

  2676. Actually the Emperor was born around the 8000 BC in the Anatolia region, which makes him around 48000 years old on the 40k milennia and "just" 38000 before sitting on the Golden Throne
    1
  2677. Tossing spleens is a hyperbole. Flashlight guys are the Imperial Guard, because Lasguns. Emperor meant he would poke out the eyes and penetrate the sockets... Yes, Kitten polishes all of Emperor's bones several times a week... SPOILER: Whole ITEHTTSD is a huge parody... Emperor is 58000 yo teenager. As for him being bi... He made 21 boy Primarchs, when he could have made them anyhow. Doesn't smell bi to me...

  2678. Flashlight: the imperial main infantry weapon, the imperial lasgun, SUUUCK. they are there fore refered to as flashlight or laser pointer. cleaning the emperor body: he is a decaying corpse plugged on life support system so... insert senior citizen + incontinence here emperor = teenager: give the guy some slack, the only being allowed near him are custodian and sisters of silence... wich i presume is a nightmarish experience for a psyker of his capacity. Give the guy the opportunity to prove to himself that SOME of his bodily function does... function... sororita speech: that monologue is cannon, but the meeting isnt. she was allowed into the imperial sanctum for an audience with the emperor, but what happened inside was never recorded, so... that's the joke: she was horny the whole time before returning PURGE THE HERETIC the moment she left the room

  2688. Love your channel and analysis of the war in Ukraine, but, and I don't know anything about Kursk Oblast, but wouldn't the most populous and economically active areas of the oblast be where the the most valuable parts of the oblast be, so Kursk City I assume, which is still far away from the land the Ukrainian forces occupy is? So with your Washington State/Oregon analogy is like China occupying parts of the state that aren't valuable and are different populated? That said it is embarrassing to Putin, but I assume his thinking is to contain the amount of land lost until he can send a bigger number of experienced troops to push Ukrainian forces back, which he thinks, and I think he's probably right, they can do at any time. I am also confused about your analysis of holding an opponent's nuclear power plants and you basically saying you can hold them hostage. In Zaporizhzhia the Russians won't destroy the nuclear power plant, unless they are at it being kicked back out of this territory, because it would create a disaster on territory they have claimed theirs and they'll want the power for themselves. Even if forced back out of the area of there was a nuclear contamination incident similar to Chernobyl this impact Russian controlled territory, and even land within the Russian state itself, so I don't buy that this would benefit Russia, except we a final f*ck you too Ukraine on being kicked out, which isn't likely to happen anytime soon. I don't really see the point of Ukraine training control of the Kursk power plant, I see this as a mostly diversionary tactic by Ukraine to make it look as though they are having there but to head towards Kursk City instead whilst the Kremlin wastes its manpower protecting to the north of the incursion. Either way I probably see this while effort by Ukraine not to hold this territory but pull Russian troops away from the frontline elsewhere. I don't really see this as territory Ukraine can hold, unless it too starts building massive defensive structures, which I don't see it either wanting to do or a priority for them. This offensive is more to prove a point, to some Russian conscripts they can trade for valuable captured Ukrainian military personnel, and to give Putin a bloody nose, and of course take resources now and the future away from the frontlines. Great videos, keep up the good work, look forward to the next analysis.

  2691. This is clearly just another thinly disguised wank-fest for the sociopaths who want a reason to kill everyone and steal their supplies. "Dur hur, there's zombieeees, it's you or me, and it ain't gonna be me! I'm gattin all y'all weak ass bitches and takin yo shit!" I would advise Project Zombiod for a classic zombie survival experience or Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead if you want to fight a medley of popular horror creatures. I know they aren't first person, but I do feel the "survival" part of "survival horror" shouldn't be based on ammo counts and head shots.

  2697. a recommendation for you for a book that touches on the tau and their interactions with the imperium, may I suggest Deathwatch: Shadowbreaker
    1
  2698. Okay the answers you asked for... Feral worlds: this describes a world where the predominant tech level of the civilization on the world is tribal hunter gatherers, this doesn't mean that they're all tribal it typically means that the largest settlement that acts as the link to the wider imperium is either a walled of and insular city or an orbital station made up of the descendants of typically early imperial era colonists introduced from off world when the world became part of the imperium, colonists barely associate with the outside or planet bound tribes, mostly this will be the planetary governor and all the staff required to handle the logistics and limited planetary defence probably a few thousand to maybe a million or two at imperial standard technology but everyone else is using bows arrows and spears existing as scattered tribes upon a world, while it is assumed that it would be a priority to uplift these tribes to imperial levels the truth is that typically most feral worlds are allowed to stay tribal as the locals see the imperials as messengers of the gods and as such are easier to manipulate, also any Astarte's chapter would not want to spoil their recruits by making life to easy on their feral recruiting world so they typically try to maintain the status quo. But feral can also imply an anarchic proto civilization world, what we would think of ancient pre roman times, bear in mind medieval worlds are a thing too and their considered a step up from feral worlds. Ghost in the darkness seen that, its kind of like that only the hunter would be more bow & arrow / spear, not rifles. 1000 marine chapter: that's one thousand to about one thousand two hundred Astarte's, it depends on how codex compliant the chapter is, its not uncommon for some high hazard zone chapters to maintain over a thousand marines and a large quota of partially changed aspirants who may be akin to an extra scout company to handle their typically high losses. Then anywhere from two to three hundred thousand support staff serving the marines themselves called serfs these can be failed aspirants who were partially transformed before the change malfunctioned preventing them to become full Astarte's and so will have some gene seed organs but not all, Then there can be hereditary slave servants who are typically well treated and effectively a micro civilization that serves the chapter itself, or lastly it could be a selection of the families descended from successful aspirants, quite literally the family of an Astarte's, eg children or grandchildren could be serving an Astarte's who is the biological brother of their grand mother or father it could even be their own children if they were old enough to sire children pre recruitment. It could be a mixture of all of the above, each chapter is a different culture so the variations are huge. Finally there may be a million to several million staff attached to organisations directly under the chapters control, this can range to local planetary defence forces to local space naval forces as every chapter maintains their own void navy of assault ships, then there's the local Arbites police forces, finally any world or worlds where the space marines recruit from the planetary governor is nearly always subservient to the Astarte's wants and decrees only inquisitors could overrule an chapter on their home-world's in short 1000 astartes means one thousand front line active combat space marines, and all the logistics it would take to maintain a mobile fleet of warships/transports needed to deploy such marines. Yes the priority is the chapter, but depending on chapter culture what is considered good Astarte's material is highly varied, for instance the Carcharodon Astra or space sharks chapter are infamous for their ability to slaughter entire planetary populations without any mercy elderly women children they kill everyone if the mission requires it, they did this to force another rogue chapter into combat to protect their recruiting worlds and it worked. (War for Badab) so some chapters do want stone cold killers. Challenge trials are incredibly common, even chaos marines use them in a fashion, one lore story follows a young tribal warrior of a nomadic people who worship a very tame version of chaos revolting against the planetary governors army which contains some imperial Astarte's, the chaos Astarte's leading them that instigated the revolt told them that any warrior who managed to injure one of these imperial marines would be given the chance to become quote "a warrior of the gods" bear in mind the goal is just to injure a marine while he is in power armour during a pitched battle....the narrator obviously manages it and becomes a chaos marine but it shows how the challenge trial is very wide spread. Break the chapters laws the chapter law will break you, there is actually an Astarte's used anti air missile where the guidance system is a lobotomised servitor, yeah if they really dont like you then you might become a missile, and once hard wired and slaved to be a missile guidance system its not really explained if they can still remember who they were, as servitor conversion can be a punishment, getting mind wiped when converted its probably dependant on how sick or vindictive the tech marine doing the conversion is. Yep 10,000 years has screwed a lot up, it can be the case that when a new chapter master or head apothecary takes over from the last one (who most probably died) they may disagree with the old methods and reconstruct the parts they see as failing, is this a good idea? not really its almost a trope that when Astarte's go bad its when a new boss changes how things are done, and sadly this is how the rot can set in, its recognised that this is dangerous hence the high importance on being traditional and not changing that much, but corrections are rare and typically only happen when the mistake is incredibly apparent. Well wall of text done, hope I've answered what you wan to know, any details your unsure of ask away :)

  2699. Most chapters have rather humane and none lethal ways to do them, many of them still get those that lost into the chapter as serves. Very few force something like a duel between the former teammates to the death to find who is the best. White scars even during the horus heresy were very-very light on the recruits and getting those who lost very badly to work and defend their home-fortress. Making people become servitors is super rare and is the fate for someone who was damaged beyond repair even by the apothecary. Most serves are not floor cleaning crews they are wide field experts who are extremely fit and skilled with arms and are very hardy. It is more like private small army who is doing manual duty from now and then. They are highly respected by the astartes and normal people alike.

  2700. You should design your own Space Marine chapter, complete with rituals, recruitment process, heraldry, etc.
    1
  2701. Leutin is by far the most knowledgeable and most balanced lore YouTubed by far I’m sure there’s others but they have biases
    1
  2702. On the question of feral world usually these worlds are host to human who are not the apex predators or are actively hunted by indigenous species that is feared by the majority of the populace
    1
  2703. A chapter often has servants/staff seeing to the chapters needs. A astartes ship needs thousands to function as such its basic functions are left to servents. Asyartes also have access to C.A.T's which can be used to monitor areas. Its fair to assume that chapter servents/staff combined with the C.A.Ts could monitor a world.
    1
  2704. Sorry loads of comments this video. This is an amalgamation of seemingly all chapters. We know the methods of the space wolves. They turn up and watch great battles. Those fighting beleave they are gods who have come to choose the best warriors for a great war. It dosent matter if you die they will take worthy souls as well. When the fight is done they take the best warriors and the apothecary can revive those who have no brain damage. That's it their trial is done and they start the process to turn them into Astartes. Of course the space wolves are still a legion as attempts to follow the codex resulted in all chapters failing.
    1
  2705. the space wolves are stationed on their feral death world but that doesn't mean the space wolves or other space marine chapters don't use tech to monitor the population of the planet and it is done by the wolf priest's their version of the apocathere. here is an example for the space wolves choosing a recruit aka aspirant. during the time of fire on fenris a wolf priest may stand back and watch as 2 rival tribes fight a war over a Island that they both want to inhabit and they will select the man who showed the most courage in the battle.

  2706. Your theory is sound cause the imperium of highly religious and hellbent on being traditional when going about even the simplest of tasks. It's pretty likely that the genetic,physical and psychological evaluations were established by the emperor himself during the crusade and became distorted after millennia because of loss of knowlege or the lack of equipment required to carry out said test etc. and they just replace these tests with whatever new thing they came up with and never bothered to improve upon it. The primarchs also heavily influenced and modified their legions training and recruitment protocols as they were not introduced to their legions until later in the crusades and once the legions were broken down into smaller chapter they made modifications to their aforementioned system and just sort of left it as is. It's also possible that some chapters were descended from the traitor legions (like the Blood Ravens), and their previous recruitment processes were completely re-written. Although to be fair it is entirely possible that some members have brought up the shortcomings you mentioned and they were either ignored or cast our for 'Breaking chapter lore' even though they were loyal astartes, tragic but nothing unexpected in 40k

  2716. Mustache veteran just concerned my theory thank you

  2717. I have no medical expertise whatsoever but Common Sense would dictate that it is possible that that large piece of shrapnel it's also wedged in there so good. Of stopping the blood flow putting a tourniquet on before removing it in my opinion is definitely a good idea

  2718. if the tyranids are in connection with the hive mind they are fearless and will ignore threats of death if needed to. though it feels like they are alone

  2719. You need to add Moustache Owner as a new title at the start of your videos

  2721. I can confirm not really feeling much pain directly after injury. When a Rottweiler dog was biting through my hand, I felt discomfort, but it hurt a lot more later. I had no problem walking home with a trashed hand, but I was a bit pale. I've also heard a story about a guy who argued with someone at a party, that other guy punched him in the back, then quickly left, but the spot got wet, so they checked and it was a puncture wound from a knife. Interesting advice about using a tourniquet first and not removing things stuck in a wound. When the hivemind is not microeing them, small Tyrannids are basically pack-hunting animals. They can be scared off by wounding them or killing a few, which the hive mind normally overrides. I'm a bit surprised the Guarsman has a radio at all. Normally a vox caster is a backpack-sized, item at squad or even company level.

  2722. You actually do need a good deal of gunfire to kill a Gaunt. Not only is each tyranid organism a cell in a larger body, each part of a tyranid organism is its own lifeform. It’s not super easy to kill a tyranid because large parts of their physiology is redundant.

  2725. Time is literally Chaos in the warp
    1
  2726. Lion El'Jonson went into statis after fighting off his second in command who fell to chaos and became a daemon prince (allegedly no one was their to witness it). Directly after the fight the watchers slipped him away somewhere deep inside the "Rock" (shard of their planet after they blew it up that they strapped engines to). So no one could ask him what happened, the dark angels that sided with the second in command fled and became the "fallen" who are "heretics" and the dark angels haven't told anyone this has happened not even the lower ranking in their own chapter. the first and second company are the only ones that know about the fallen, and are called the "inner circle".

  2727. So to answer some of your questions and things you seemed to be confused about. The tank was firing at something but the leman russ tank main battle cannon is mostly a anti infantry weapon that also happens to ok choice at deal with hostile armor but the shells blast radius is the actual killer and it has many heavy bolter ( bolter weapons shoot a rocket propelled bolt that also explodes. Like a rpg but cut down to a gun and can shoot dozens of them at a time and the heavy bolter is the machine gun version that also can go through armor as well.) It is possible that there was a meat shield force which is common to chaos forces that dragged the attention away so the Astarties had to deal with the anti tank threat but they were too numerous and too hidden to detect in time to save the tanks. The death korps you gotta understand since their birth they have been trained to believe that their ancestors sins of betrayal have passed onto them and they have to atone for their sins against their god the Emperor. They do this by killing the enemy and making sure they themselves also die to atone. So death to these men isn't seen as a bad thing. As long as they take or assist in the killing of the enemy while dieing then that is a perfect death and life for them. They also been trained to tone down a lot of emotions too because of their beliefs and their training making them almost emotionless and fearless. That is why the tank commander is looking at them. He is litterally shitting his pants because he sees nothing but a killing machine in the form of a man. The horses are also specially used by steel legion and death korps. They are a different breed of horse than we are used to and on top of that have been enhanced through generic arguments and training and LOTS of drugs. They also have thicker armor than most guardsmen allowing them to take a few shots before their armor is breached. Their spears are made from a very strong alloy called adamite and if you look you see there are anti tank grandes at the end allowing them to take out armored enemies such as the hostile Astarties.

  2728. Ill take a Space Marine with their "Small Arms" over a Leman Russ crewed by Cadians as a first strike, ANYDAY. The Space Marine is a genetically enhanced human with near instant reflexes and perfect sight, their power armor essentially allows them just to look at a target then the armor pretty much aims and fires. The standard bolter shoots a .75 cal rocket propelled explosive that detonates after boring into the target for maximum damage. TLDR: Space Marine can kill more enemies in 3 seconds with a bolter than a Leman Russ can with a round or 2.
    1
  2729. Its possible due to the fact those horses are krieg special breed they are not the normal earth horse they are able to take several rounds all the way up to if they are poorly placed a couple of bolter rounds to the chest before going down and the lances are special as well which they kinda show off also about why only some troops are shown with coms is due to how the imperium equips its troops usually squad leaders and up are the only ones with comes and that if they are lucky if not its can go to platoon or even company commanders with the only coms space marines all have coms but dont usually communicate with the overage trooper atleast from the books and media I've consumed thats how the Astartes are portrayed
    1
  2730. 40,000 Years of evolutionary and biomechanical success, led to these horses being what they are now. Bring up the rear Cadians, Kriegs got your back.

  2731. The Astarte's bolsters wouldn't really be considered small arms fire it's almost like shooting explosive red bull sized bullets that have rocket booster.
    1
  2732. no offense but around ( 6:10 ) if I was the ambusher and I suddenly see my targets halt and aim a tank barrel at me where it should be facing forward, I would tell my troops to open fire before they did, thus inflicting casualties onto them before they inflict onto us, so when the forward space marine opened fire first, he stunned the enemy and reduce their maximum damage overall before they realized what happened than getting an obvious signal that a tank was lining up its shot

  2733. The spears have explosive heads. Can pop open nearly any armor.

  2734. The multi headed potato mashers were real, used in ww1

  2735. Will be interesting see your military and tactical tools, equipment and weapons "collection".

  2736. 21:05 That's not 40K World, that's real life lol. The Germans would strap multiple of the grenade heads together as a sort of anti-tank grenade.

  2737. Did he call a Bolter a small arm?😂

  2738. Also, The helmet on the Krieg seems to inspired by French design.

  2739. Ah Warhammer 40k’s imperial guard…where gå-på kinda is the tactical default…

  2740. About the ambush [art. Space marine probably did exacly as you said - commed to the tanks to open fire on his mark. Note how the tank fires less than a second after him. You didn't hear him sending orders because power armour helmet is sound-proof, so unless marine wants to no sound escapes it.
    1
  2741. About the cavalry charge. Those are not horses. Under the gas masks and arnour kriegsteeds are genetically modified monsters pumped with combat drugs, capable of taking couple .50 cal bullets and continue charging. They would die few minutes later from the injuries and bloosloss, but in battle only severing the head or a limb could stop the kriegsteed. Also the spears have shaped explosives on them. If they hit a tank or a spacemerine, spearhead detonates blowing the hole through it. Krieg death riders do have lascarbines, but spears are more effective, especially against armoured targets, as lascarbines have almost no armour-piercing capability and even most forms of body armour could stop them. Against a space marine lasgun fire is about as effective as throwing pebbles.

  2745. i might be able to answer a few of things about the Calvary charge. those guys are called death riders. they are essentially anti infantry and anti light mechanized units. their spears are hunting lances with a explosive charge on tip. their horse are actually made to withstand a huge beating from enemy fire. They all wear the gas masks because they are solders made for hazardous environments and wars of attrition. if you want to learn more i recommend Arch's death korp video or the siege of vraks series. i think you will find it interesting.

  2746. Ha ha ha... He called the bolter "small arms".

  2747. The reason why there's such a mishmash of technology between the troops is because the Imperial government just doesn't have the resources to standardize its troops. Every world has it's own resources, own culture, own strategys, own ideologys and own levels of technology. The imperium just doesn't have enough time and resources because they're CONSTANTLY fighting on all sides. Basically, imagine if our modern soldiers had to bring their own shit because the government didn't have enough resources. Only the special forces and "valuable" troops would get the good gear. So since that's unfortunately the case, these troops develop certain tactics to make the most use of their technology level. The tanks and "standardized" soldiers are from a wealthy planet called Cadia. These guys focus more on just being standard troops with anti armor capabilities. While the horse riding ww1 style troops are used for siege warfare. Their culture says that human life is worthless, and that only in death are people rewarded. This almost religious doctrine is what makes their strategies suicidal. It's also why they all wear gas masks. There is absolutely no individuality in their ranks. Even their faces can't be seen. Their world is called Kreig, and it's an irradiated wasteland. They're all vat grown, and spend their lives in bunkers.

  2748. I recall a book in warhammer 40k mention the life expectancy of the standard 'grunt'. In there theatre which was 15 hours. Having read it fully and seeing this makes me think, That this is probably one of the less intense war zone's in 40k.
    1
  2749. Gonna be honest: When you called an Astartes 40mm Bolter 'small arms', I couldn't help but keel over laughing my ass off.
    1
  2750. Heres some help! The astartes gun is called a heavy bolter, and is practicly as OP as the tank, its pretty much just firing a bolt into someone at mach 1.5
    1
  2751. Just a comment on not letting the tank fire the Astarte bolted is comparable to an m1 Abrams cannon in a assault rifle
    1
  2752. calling a heavy bolter small arms is funny to me.
    1
  2753. 16:47 the bayonnet wasn't as easy to handle as a shovel in a trench warfare because you don't have a lot of space to handle a rifle. The germans often used their shovels in close quarter combat.

  2754. In WH40K, a space marine equates a tank. Literally.

  2755. It is possible for the Death Korps of Krieg to charge on horseback through a full line of infantry because these guys are not only moving in pletoric numbers, but also completely fearless. It is due to their training process back on their homeworld (Krieg), which is kept secret but is heavily suspected to be very unnatural. Whatever they are sent against, they will never hesitate, fall back or stop. In fact, whereas the commisars of other regiments have to push their troops forward, those commanding the DKK have to hold them back because they'll always want to go where the danger is maximum. In perspective, the ennemy infantry could have inflicted severe damage upon these riders if they had kept their cool and moved back in the trees, but as you saw, seeing these guys didn't stray even an inch when fired upon, they panicked. Also the fact that they were scattered like this around the convoy, engaged in melee range, didn't help to focus fire. The only thing you need to know is : the Death Korps are the only guys able to make cavalry valid. They may not manage their assault, and it is frequent they die in great numbers, but their reaction in the face of danger will always be the same.

  2756. You cannot approach 40k from a logical perspective. Its all ridiculous and we love it
    1
  2757. Some forces represent a strength ,value , mindset, or knowledge honed over countless wars the death korps are defined by what they have abandoned they have abandoned even having names for those have no value to them they have abandoned individuality for it serves no purpose they have abandoned fear for that it is only a hindrance they have abandoned their very lives for those are the emperors to spend as he wills.

  2758. I just noticed, there are anti tank grenades on the end of the spears and the head of the spear is on top of the grenade.
    1
  2759. well i wouldn't consider bolters small arms I can't remember the actual caliber but its about the size of a 40mm plus a mix of rocket and chemical propulsion so in comparison to the tank yeah there small arms but compared to a modern-day assault rifle there not and the reason the krig can ride through a hail of fire is cause they die what I mean is their lore from what I remember is they in the most literal sense die for there sins without a thought they are all martyrs to the cause its a matter of numbers in there strategy

  2760. God I love the death rider companies
    1
  2761. "Small arms" you mean his mofuggin bolter that shot through the tree
    1
  2762. Also those are rough riders. Their purpose is to die. Those horses are often cybernetically enhanced
    1
  2763. I don't know why the cavalry could get through lore-wise, but on the tabletop you have to roll a six to hit a charging unit in overwatch so it's more difficult
