00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,480
I think someone made a hilarious comment on a video where someone said like when he uses

2
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:12,400
power he looks really like scary and gaunt and someone called him Lord, Lord of Bushemi eyes.

3
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:24,800
He's like, I'm starting to feel like this guy got misplaced and he should have been in the Lamenters.

4
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:50,400
Hello ladies and gentlemen and welcome to Lore Crimes. Today we've got something very special.

5
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:56,400
It's been some time since we properly covered a member of the Adeptus Astartes, the Space Marines,

6
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:04,320
and so for such a monumental return to form we've decided to cover, I was going to say one of, but

7
00:01:04,320 --> 00:01:10,400
no just just the most powerful one in the setting by quite some margin. I imagine it goes Space

8
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:16,640
Marine a whole lot of tears him and then Primarchs. Without further ado I'll give you the grand

9
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:25,840
reveal. We're talking about Mephiston today. And uh, hey not Kato Sicarius? I mean like that's not

10
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:35,600
fair like he's above the emperor. He's the Kato Sicarius. No today is Warhammer's very own blonde

11
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:43,120
uh time-stopping vampire. I had to get that in once. I will, I will shut my mouth on it going

12
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:51,040
forward. I promise in the same way I promise this is a sleep schedule reset. So I probably won't.

13
00:01:51,040 --> 00:02:00,160
Colin has been asleep for a while. 24 hours. I wish I had these powers but he has so much done.

14
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:05,760
I just know everyone watching that we we put our health at risk for this podcast.

15
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:12,480
Please sleep for eight hours a day. I am not a sleep denier. Please sleep for eight hours a day.

16
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:17,360
I beg of you people. And it's ironic that this is kind of like the vampire fact and here we have

17
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:24,640
Colin who's like upside down like a bat trying to stay awake. Oh my gosh. But uh before we get into

18
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:32,000
that I uh I think it's about time for the question of the week. So we're gonna go over last week's

19
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:39,200
answers real quick. All right thanks very much Colin. This week's question of the week uh we had

20
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:44,000
some interesting stuff about the Necron dynasties that you guys were making up in the comments from

21
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:50,480
our last video and so we're and I believe it was hashtag dynasty which is a classic law crimes

22
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:55,280
original meme from the first episode. So without further ado let's go through some of my favorite

23
00:02:55,280 --> 00:03:04,000
picks of comments. Starting off with pristonwood1308 and he said hashtag dynasty the iron hands

24
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,960
dynasty known for actually having iron hands made of iron. They've been stuck in a several thousand

25
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:14,320
year legal battle with a specific space marine chapter over naming rights. There we go that's the

26
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:22,640
first one. This guy he's targeted my beloved my boys. Again. So much iron water iron hands hate

27
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:30,160
I know it's so unreasonable. I think it's pretty reasonable. It's gonna be a recurring joke at this

28
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:37,280
rate. If you're gonna be boring you should be hated huh. Oh man I don't know. Says the elder

29
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:42,080
player. I think they're cool. The elder aren't boring they're just elves so everyone hates them

30
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:46,720
because no one has hate. They are boring because GDW shows no love currently. That's why they're

31
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:52,480
boring Colin it's not your fault but it's why. And they show love to metal man. They did they got

32
00:03:52,480 --> 00:04:00,640
straight to the point. That's true. Everyone's only sad that Charis died. No one said the

33
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:08,480
iron trilogy exploded. I don't know I'm reading through the eye of Medusa book on my kindle so

34
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:14,000
I'm having fun with the iron hands. There's just not much lore and it's all old books which is a

35
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:19,920
bit frustrating. But anyway moving on to our second of the hashtag dynasty comments from

36
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:28,240
harrybalentine398 the dovak in dynasty very open to trade with the lesser races though every piece

37
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:34,560
of technology they trade comes pre-installed with some strange architect called Skara Rim their main

38
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:40,400
form of defense is using transdimensional beamers to teleport their foes away no one knows where

39
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:45,120
but the psychic echoes transmit the following words hey you you're finally awake

40
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:54,960
does it again it did it again this has mike the liar written all over it this sabotage does

41
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,800
harry balentine will be known as my eek from now on

42
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:06,240
I will brooker know my eek slander in this in this pot knows many things and he would never lie to me

43
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:13,280

45
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:29,520
it's in warhammer i there's there's only one thing like i think that's risky yeah i can't think of

46
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,600
like any like jet is what i keep thinking of i was like no that's fallout again no no it's not that

47
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:39,280
would um there's like a couple drugs they bring up but they're like in some way related to combat

48
00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:46,800
usually like slot there really isn't hasn't been like a kind of uh epidemic you know uh sort of

49
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:52,880
drug plot line in warhammer yeah and that's clearly the part that gw are missing so gw the

50
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,640
emperor's children they've nicked all the drugs anyway they're like they're all mine and then like

51
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:01,120
don't do any drugs imperial citizen it's heresy it's naughty don't do it although they have got

52
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:06,160
warhammer crime so maybe we'll see more of that uh that'd be quite interesting is a drug

53
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:13,440
prick plastic is the drug red the pile of shame uh impact your wallet in the same way

54
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:18,960

00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:26,080
you can't just be like pet the khajiit like why not just a cat man technically yeah you asked for

56
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,080
consent but you're like can i just give you a little chin scratch just i don't know bro i think

60
00:06:53,040 --> 00:07:00,400
picked i quite like this one uh is from your boy striker 3750 said hashtag dynasty my dynasty

61
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:07,120
shall be dubbed the pan kenis pan kenis their only purpose is to serve bacon and pancakes to

62
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:12,240
any human with an accent resembling that of the ancient terran tribe known as the english their

63
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:18,320
reasoning for this mission is still unknown to this day ah that was a big argument on that episode

64
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:24,080
where we me and how like why would you how would you put like pancakes with bacon it's weird i think

65
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:32,160
it all comes down to that breakfast should kind of be more savory just and it's the idea of it being

66
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:39,680
dinner is sweet yeah dinner is pudding is dessert is exactly yeah well let's not get into how much

67
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:46,240
sugar there is in americans like food stuff because i yeah you'll win that sugar-based meal

68
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:51,680
oh it's like carbs on carbs on carbs yeah yeah that's right buddy that's right come on it's tasty

69
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:57,600
i mean not that look you can look i get our food is like horrendous for you but i do not give

70
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:03,760
breakfasts can be sweet yeah don't you like like having honey on an english muffin you're english

meal is english muffin with honey and eggs what the heck is this one you know for the eggs on the

73
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,640
english muffin it's like separate but the kind of muffin i'm thinking of i don't think it's the same

74
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:24,720
muffin that's the thing yeah it's like i said an english muffin into the general i don't i just

75
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:29,280
don't like the idea of eggs being anywhere near honey that just seems strange to me well no you

76
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,600
don't put the honey on the eggs you put the honey on the english if you eat like two bites then the

83
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:22,480
let let's not get too too sidetracked we're here for for an interesting episode about the boys of

84
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:27,840
the ninth so we've got a ninth legion slash chapter themed next question of the week the next episode

85
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:36,320
and it is hashtag black rage and this is all about uh what is um what is the one thing that makes you

86
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:41,360
rage about warhammer now this doesn't have to be necessarily just law this could be about the

87
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:45,520
business it could be about the models it could be about the law it could be about anything as long

88
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:52,160
as it's about warhammer or warhammer 40k what makes you hashtag black rage and that's the next

89
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:57,840
question of the week i'm interested to see what the uh the comments are going to be about that

90
00:09:59,920 --> 00:10:05,840
but otherwise i suppose it's time to pass back on to colin to get into today's episode

91
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:12,560
and with that done it's uh it's time for the beginner section where andy will be taking it away

92
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:19,920
with the uh the beginner basics of mephiston andy what kind of lore do you have for us in store

93
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:25,920
today the floor is all yours thank you very much colin i'm going to say this up front um i know

94
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:32,240
hal has a very vast script up ahead so i'm not going to take up too much of your time and also

95
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:37,440
i have a slight confession to make although i am the mr imperium man i know a lot about

96
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:45,120
the space marines i'm a fist and knowledge is not as vast as hal's and am i right in thinking he has

97
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:50,560
like three mainline books and several short stories and oh yeah he's in a lot of big he's

98
00:10:50,560 --> 00:10:55,040
like in devastation of barl he's got three of his own books he's in the warhammer tv series briefly

99
00:10:55,040 --> 00:11:00,480
he's in he's all over the place um so there's a lot to cover and so with that in mind i'm not

100
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:06,320
going to take too much of your time but we'll go over the basics um so mephiston would originally

101
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:11,840
be born on bal secund uh bal primus where if you're a blood angels fan you might realize that a lot

102
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,920
of times you hear about bal secundus which i believe is one of the moons which is where their

103
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:22,320
base of operations is but mephiston was born on bal primus among its tribe and he was a young boy

104
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:29,120
known as kai and from his humble beginnings among the irradiated wastes of uh bal primus

105
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:37,840
he would become probably the most powerful space marine ever with time um but you know this is

106
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:44,400
during the 41st millennium i believe he's born um eventually with time he would be inducted into

107
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:50,240
the blood angels and become one of their librarians originally he was a lexiconum librarian

108
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:57,920
he would be known as calisterius when he ascended as a fully fledged blood angel and with time he

109
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:04,480
would become the chief librarian of the order and he would also interestingly become an honorary

110
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:09,520
member of the first company during their boarding actions of the space hulk the sin of damnation

111
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:16,400
with time he would there's not really like not that much known about his time as calisterius

112
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:22,880
because that's not really the fun part but with time he would develop a craven a craven for a bit

113
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:29,360
of blood and then he would be subsumed by the black rage now we all know about the black rage more or

114
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:35,600
less it's the the death knell of sanguineous that all blood angels are cursed with to uh if they but

115
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:41,120
if they submit to their inner rage they are overtaken by visions of their primarch dying

116
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:47,840
at the hands of horus lupical and are in are completely frenzied in their need to slay

117
00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:54,400
horus the war master and if you happen to be in the vicinity your the blood angel is going to be

118
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,600
seeing red and they're going to see you and they're going to see the war master and they're going to

119
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:02,080
cut you to ribbons even if there's you and 10 of your friends they'll see 10 horus lupicals and

120
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:06,400
they'll rip you to pieces because that's kind of their deal they're noble warriors but they also

121
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:15,440
have this inner savagery but interestingly for uh miphiston as he would become known uh he actually

122
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:20,720
survived the black rage he's one of the few astartes that went through the frenzy and came

123
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:28,800
back sane enough to become a member of the death company and funnily enough in miphiston's case

124
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:34,480
uh he would when when he was serving in the uh the death company during the second war of armageddon

125
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:42,160
it happened again he's he got he got he got the black rage twice and he would be i believe he

126
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:46,560
is trapped during the conflict of the second war of armageddon he's trapped under a bunch of rubble

127
00:13:46,560 --> 00:13:52,080
of a big temple and while under the rubble suffering the black rage he can't really move

128
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:58,080
he can't really fight he can't do anything and so he just has to deal with it and for a while he's

129
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:04,080
trying to crawl out of the rubble and by the time he gets out of his entombment upon the world of

130
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:11,920
armageddon he rises from his second time surviving the black rage and he he is now he inhabits the

131
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:20,800
title of miphiston and i believe this is a title he has within him uh this is this is something where

132
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:27,360
he he embodies a fragment of the black rage he's kind of the avatar for the curse of the blood

133
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:32,960
angels so at this point he relinquishes his title of calisteris he becomes the so-called lord of

134
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:40,720
death and with this uh this power as the avatar of the curse of the blood angels he has these uh these

135
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:47,360
psychic black wings which he can use to fly he's supremely powerful as a pyscher and the black rage

136
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:52,560
empowers him further he also has this sword called vitaris known as the sanguine sword

137
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:58,080
which is a four sword similar to a nemesis uh four sword that the that the gray knights are using that

138
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:05,200
it's empowered by his inner rage and it bursts into a crimson flame the more angry he gets and

139
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:11,200
and again we've got a lot to talk about that's kind of the basic overview of miphiston he's

140
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:19,040
he's everyone's favorite crazy uncle slash vampire wizard um i don't really know if there's much else

141
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:26,160
to say before we do the deep dive if i'm honest i'm just ready i'm roaring to go yeah i know i was

142
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:32,960
like i want to keep this brief there is something cool though which is uh his sword vitaris um it is

143
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:38,880
supposedly like a gift from like a lot of other uh like the librarians they have staffs and obviously

144
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,720
sometimes if they're really good they're able to like transfer like their power through a sword

145
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:48,320
and vitaris is particularly cool because uh it's kind of like um thaw's hammer it like comes back

146
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:54,080
to him when he throws it or like yeets it at a demon and my favorite part is literally he will

147
00:15:54,080 --> 00:16:00,160
whisper he just whispers it he goes like vitaris it just goes and it comes back it's usually on fire

148
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:05,120
yeah and it has like a weird boomerang etching in the top as well which is quite funny it's currently

149
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:10,640
in australia as we speak um yeah yeah miphiston flings the sword and then as soon as it comes

150
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:16,640
back you just hear in the distance good day and then it comes back bogan librarian sword i think

151
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:22,960
that's the title for it now it's a very cool uh cool sword i think that's my only thing before

152
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:28,000
we get in i like uh i like how the first time he comes down from the black ray it's like he

153
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:34,560
he calmed down a bit but the second time it's like he went full circle where he went just pure calm

154
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:43,280
because he's so unbelievably mad he's like i've come we've looped around i am now a sea of angry

155
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:48,800
calm it's like when you get so mad it just short circuits there's that well there's a well when we

156
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:53,200
go into it there's actually a few times where it's actually come and gone quite a lot in his story

157
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:59,200
but we will there's a couple of main times he or dude go through it um but i do i think someone

158
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:06,000
made a hilarious comment on a video where someone said like when he uh uses power he looks really

159
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:11,840
like scary and gaunt and someone called him like lord um lord bushemi eyes because he

160
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,800
because he just looks like he's like and he has like a

161
00:17:19,360 --> 00:17:22,480
i'm starting to feel like this guy got misplaced and he should have been in the

162
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:28,880
lamenters yeah you were in the wrong chapter hello fellow blood raven uh blood angel

163
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:40,480
it's following us oh my god uh with that being said there is everyone ready to dive into the

164
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:48,480
full-on expert slash uh long long story of miffiston's journey yes sir she's like her of

165
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:55,280
the blood ravens uh that was protected by corn wasn't it that's a weird move um gw

166
00:17:56,080 --> 00:18:01,600
like relic um they gave her a stamp of approval with with that being said though if you guys are

167
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:06,640
listening if you're new or even just painting your hammer figures uh this is a there's a decent

168
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:11,440
amount to go through on this one so do strap in uh and also feel free if you want to add any

169
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:17,680
comments boys because again this will be a bit of a roller coaster uh so we begin with the story of

170
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:23,520
lord miffiston chief librarian of the blood angels the lord of death he's the most powerful

171
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:29,840
pyscher in all of the adapters of startis but his story begins centuries and centuries before he

172
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:36,800
even became the lord of death and it would be in good old m41 i know we've done a lot of uh

173
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:43,760
episodes particularly like heresy focused this one is full on yeah this is worst timeline

174
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:52,400
humanity here we're in the 41st millennium and as andy did say uh we begin on bar primus where a

175
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:58,480
child would be born into the realm the roaming tribes who sort of wander around the irradiated

176
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:04,720
wastes uh quick note bar primus is a much bigger planet it's like bigger than earth so

177
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:09,840
the gravity is actually quite a bit stronger on bar primus you think that would make them all

178
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:14,720
bit shorter or maybe like squats but apparently not it just makes it on hard mode uh for some

179
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:21,120
reason um but it gets worse because the child who is born is named kai uh sounds like something from

180
00:19:21,120 --> 00:19:26,400
avatar the last airbender unfortunately it's not um but he's going to go through a bit of a journey

181
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:35,280
in this one and kai was just a simple tribesman or a child at this time uh he had literally nothing

182
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:40,720
i think it says his only possession is literally like a piece of colored glass on a string and

183
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:46,960
like that's all he has really and he also had like a really kids these days with their tablets

184
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,720
luxury when i were a kid i only had a piece of string with some glass on it

185
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:59,040
we had two sticks and a rock and we shared my favorite part is that there's like a vision quest

186
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:05,840
like looking back at this time and they all comment that he's actually quite ugly as a child

187
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:23,520
also kai unfortunately had a really terrible father he was quite mean and um eventually kai

188
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:30,640
would run away because it was death was better and running away in baal on any of the planets

189
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:36,080
they they purposely keep it quite rough on these like desert worlds so it was basically certain

190
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:42,960
death but kai was would be a bit luckier he would find this hunched sage sort of figure who would

191
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:49,280
help uh nurture the innate abilities that kai possessed because at this time it was becoming

192
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:56,000
clear that kai was a psyker so he was connected to the warp he had power he could um throw funny

193
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:00,160
funny lightning bolts at people he gets to do really cool stuff later but again that's uh

194
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:07,520
spoilers uh but as all the people on baal would see uh powers like this don't go unnoticed and

195
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:13,440
eventually the emperor's angels would appear and they would take him to do the trials of the blood

196
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:19,200
angels i'm sure a few of us probably know like they have um there's that really awful one they have to

197
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:24,880
like essentially they get all the uh i say young initiates but we do mean young children essentially

198
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:29,520
and they basically do like a rat run they go through like a desert and they like to fight

199
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:33,840
there's like massive scorpions and they have to try and get past them and it's pretty awful

200
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:38,800
and they have to essentially go into blood sarcophagus and they have to survive like the

201
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:46,240
visions of that and uh kai would actually pass these gruelling trials and then he would as many

202
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:51,920
different asatis chapters do in fact many even just general warrior lodges in history he would

203
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:58,400
discard his old identity and he would become calistarius and calistarius is obviously a much

204
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:05,440
more autogetai? is there a single space marine chapters like initiation rituals that aren't just

205
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:10,400
atrocious like do any of them just have like yeah whoever does the most sit-ups you're in?

206
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:17,280
i think this maybe some of the more ultramarine focused ones are a little bit more

207
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:22,800
i mean the raven the raven guard do a lot of like they teach you how to like pack stuff into your

208
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:27,040
armor so it makes less noise and it's all about i'd assume because they're quite stealthy they're

209
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:31,680
not as much like right go into the flogging machine and eat the glass

210
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:38,160
what is the blood coffin? yeah like eat the glass cereal it's like no it's more about sneaky sneaky

211
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:42,000
um but when you were talking about the tough trials about the blood blood angels i was just

212
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:47,200
imagining like the space wars going oh my trials are tougher than your trials and then the ultramen

213
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:52,480
said my trials are tougher than your imperial fists i wore a body suit that inflicts pain mine was

214
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:57,440
tougher and then the grey knights just going amateurs and just never ending pissing contest

215
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:06,640
and no one wins except us who enjoy the lore and good old calistarius he'll be trained in his

216
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:13,760
psychic abilities combat war all that good space marine stuff but a little bit uniquely to the blood

217
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:20,320
angels they would also be trained as artists and poets and all that kind of i guess extracurricular

218
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:26,160
is the best way to describe it and there's a really good part where it mentions well calistarius

219
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:30,800
mentions like he actually remembers the first time he heard music but i thought was a really cool

220
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:36,560
detail in one of the books because you would go oh yeah like a super soldier he was like a tribesman

221
00:23:37,120 --> 00:23:42,000
he wouldn't have actually heard any like a lot of them don't really live good lives until they

222
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:47,120
funnily enough become space marines which is quite ironic but he does remember sort of hearing music

223
00:23:47,120 --> 00:23:50,800
for the first time that's like a bit i remember hearing that i think and that was quite wild

224
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:55,760
it's a very blood angels thing as well like zephon he was like he used to play piano and

225
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:59,280
then he got his arms cut off and he couldn't play piano anymore he was really annoyed about it

226
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:06,400
oh that's kind of pain but luckily calistarius would go on to be a fully fledged member of the

227
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:14,320
blood angels he would leave the bar system and he would go to wage war across the stars he was

228
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:19,520
often mentored by his good friend now this guy one of my favorite characters in warhammer by the

229
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:25,200
way but like not a main character his name is gaius raceless and he is also a librarian in

230
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:32,160
the blood angels this man if you read the mephiston book is an absolute chad this guy is like your best

231
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:37,840
mate he always comes through and he is just the most he's like he's actually quite an old blood

232
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:43,280
angel not as old as dante but he's got like white hair which is quite rare for a lot of space

233
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:47,760
marines to ever get to that age but a bit of a shame he doesn't have any art but unfortunately

234
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:54,640
but raceless is like that kind of grumpy old dwarf bigger but he's a he's a ripped blood angel he's

235
00:24:54,640 --> 00:25:02,960
like the grumpy dwarf vampire okay pretty much yeah he's a he's a chad and uh calistarius was

236
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:07,680
just as a side note he was actually quite well liked and he was known for being a very warm and

237
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:14,000
bright person he enjoyed many good friendships with figures known as reclusiarch quirinus and

238
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:20,000
apothecary albinus i think albinus is still uh i think you can play him still on tabletop he's the

239
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:26,320
um well the head of the san guinu sanguinary priests the ones who are like the apothecaries

240
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:33,040
for blood angels i think he's oh the um uh because i'm thinking of corbulo who's like yeah the uh the

241
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:38,880
apothecary equivalent what they called aren't they just sanguinary priests i think so yeah but he's

242
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:45,520
playable on tabletop and basically everyone liked calistarius he was the joey of all like the friends

243
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:51,600
cast essentially not i mean bit smarter um but eventually calistarius came in and went hey how

244
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:59,760
you doing how you doing taking that to the slaneshi oh god joey or the fonts no that's that is joey

245
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:04,400
how you doing isn't it i've never seen friends you've never neither have i i've never seen it

246
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:10,560
either oh my god i mean i'm not i'm not a 30 year old lady um it doesn't seem like something like

247
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:22,000
like yeah people would really for real jesus where's the swords and the dragons and the guns

248
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:28,000
space i mean you don't watch this now though you went to watch as a kid and there's nothing else

249
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:34,320
on tv when when my sister was watching ross in friends i was watching ross in band of brothers

250
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:43,600
because that's the better version ross with ptsd he didn't make it to the front lines and that

251
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:49,520
didn't he got no no quick he got um he didn't get to the post then did he no they got mutinied i

252
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:56,320
think he did i ho silver i also haven't seen band of brothers yeah they're fine i'm not surprised

253
00:26:56,320 --> 00:27:03,120
by colin um but eventually calistarius would be as i said earlier he'll be attached to the first

254
00:27:03,120 --> 00:27:10,880
company lesser carnium calistarius to enter the space hulk the sin of damnation which by the way

255
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:18,080
that name sin of damnation does go hard i appreciate that one and this will be where

256
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:24,720
calistarius will be asked to delve into the mind of an ancient comatose blood angel supposedly

257
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:30,800
he had been injured here like centuries and centuries ago so he's been in like sort of you

258
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:37,040
know space dreams can enter a comatose state and preserve themselves but vespario would never

259
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:44,240
survive these wounds unfortunately and as carus so as calistarius was delving into vesparios mind

260
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:48,720
he saw the manner in which he had been attacked and survived because there was a somewhat mystery

261
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:54,800
to it because he had obviously been in battle but then he'd locked himself in like a locker room area

262
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:59,200
so but it only could be done from the inside which was bizarre so everyone's working out how

263
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:04,160
would this mystery come about and they were kind of running out of time on this space hulk

264
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:10,000
and eventually calistarius would push deeper into his mind and he would see the truth that there was

265
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:17,280
a gene stealer cult that's right four armed emperor time they would be on the space hulk hidden in the

266
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:26,080
depths and they had created a gene stealer hybrid from a navigator so that was incredibly dangerous

267
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:31,520
because something that powerful could not be allowed to live and calistarius would eventually

268
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:37,680
lead the blood angels to go slay this beast for sad sad for eli here for the gene sealers they got

269
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:45,200
correct but unfortunately calistarius wouldn't leave this encounter without some mental scars

270
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:53,280
as when he delved into vesparios mind vespario had been afflicted by the black rage and a little

271
00:28:53,280 --> 00:29:00,800
bit of that had sort of affected calistarius's mind just is anyone wants a brief explanation

272
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:06,560
i thought maybe one of you guys could explain very briefly what the black rage is perhaps to

273
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:12,000
someone new has anyone got a good idea because i would thought it'd be quite cool to um someone

274
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:16,240
else i know a lot of people get tripped up between the between the distinction of the black rage and

275
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:24,160
the red first there i'd uh good okay mind if i give it a shot yeah i actually know this uh so the

276
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:29,120
black rage is that the as all space marine legions do the blood angels had their prime

277
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:34,480
arc when they were a legion not a chapter and his name was sinquineus and uh when he died to his

278
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:41,760
brother horus it was such a brutal and violent death and the culmination of years of betrayal

279
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:50,480
that uh it left a psychic back aftershock that's a good word i think yeah uh on sinquineus's entire

280
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:56,880
bloodline so now if you have blood angels gene seeded in you you suffer from the black rage which

281
00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:03,200
is where you get angrier and angrier and eventually you start to think you are sinquineus on the bridge

282
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:08,240
of the vengeful spirit horus's flagship and uh everyone in front of you starts to look a whole

283
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:17,040
lot like horus and you basically relive that fight on the vengeful spirit culminating of course in

284
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:24,960
whoever kills you uh in your mind it replays as horus finally slaying sinquineus who is now you

285
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:33,520
yeah it's uh which it's quite okay sorry which is i'm really curious as to the logistics of that you

286
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:39,520
know just like how many horses can you see before something goes like clicks like that ain't that

287
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:44,480
ain't right i know i know there's like a distinction where some some people say if there's other blood

288
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:49,200
range if there's other blood angels around you you'll see them as blood angels and you'll kill

289
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:54,160
everyone who isn't a blood angel that looks like horus if you're surrounded by just blood angels

290
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:59,120
they'll start to look like horus and it kind of has a like a tier list almost of priorities

291
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:03,760
and then like uh there's a really good visual representation of it in the angels of death

292
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:09,120
uh series where kazarian is a veteran of the death watch comes back from the death watch after like

293
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:13,840
not having anyone help him with the red first and the black rage and the first episode there's like

294
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:18,640
a scene where he's praying in front of the altar of sanguineus and he's seeing horus and he's this

295
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:24,720
big shadowy figure and there's red mist everywhere and he's like continually battling these visions

296
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:31,760
of horus and it's really cool it's a pretty it's at some point if the blood angel does live long

297
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:38,000
enough eventually there will be uh an interaction with the black race they all feel it within them

298
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:44,560
and unfortunately uh calistarius since this event would start to exhibit signs of seeing visions of

299
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:50,960
horus so it would kind of slip out in conversation um his friend uh quirinus uh reclusiart quirinus

300
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:56,800
he started to become a bit concerned he's watching over his friend and then there's even a scene

301
00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:02,480
where like they're about to do a invasion on a world and then i think calistarius says we'll

302
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:06,480
finally you know eliminate them and then we can kill horus and then he goes wait what i mean kill

303
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:13,760
the enemy so it slips out in certain conversations and then it's obviously clearly starting to take

304
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:22,960
over and unfortunately though um eventually it just it was building and building and even his

305
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:27,920
friend quirinus good good friend who was promised to watch over him unfortunately he would be lost

306
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:32,640
in the warp his shit would be lost during this time and so he didn't even have that friend to rely

307
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:40,320
on and eventually i know it's a bit sorry i just said jeez yeah it was it was a bit of a slow

308
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:46,960
decline for calistarius because he was like he didn't he probably could have gone on a bit longer

309
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:53,520
if he hadn't done the deep you know the sort of thing with vespario but he i mean it is inevitable

310
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:58,960
for them all unfortunately some fight it better than others better than others and after fighting

311
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:05,040
the black rage for decades unfortunately calistarius would fall to the black rage and he would be

312
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:11,440
assigned into the death company and he would fight on many different battlefields just essentially

313
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:16,080
lost to the raids the death company is essentially led by death company chaplains and they are

314
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:22,000
basically just directed maniacs and they kind of really they have to like the chaplains like sing

315
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:28,240
blood angel hymns to like essentially calm down for like just brief moments um but and and there's

316
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:34,080
an interesting again like and they recently uh on warhammer plus released a solo episode of a blood

317
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:39,280
angel that gets completely subsumed in the rage and then gazarian and chaplain rafael have to go

318
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:46,400
and find him and from that episode it seems that like the regular blood angels don't know about it

319
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:52,640
because when they discover him like rafael has to shoot uh his name's lucretius in the head and then

320
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:57,600
kazarian's like wait a minute this is what this leads to this is what we become and then the

321
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:04,640
chaplains like yeah we swear an oath and he kills the guy and he's like the report is he died a hero

322
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:08,080
that is the report and he's like yeah he died with honor and it's really interesting that they

323
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:12,240
have this in a turmoil that they they don't talk about and they have to keep secrets so the rest of

324
00:34:12,240 --> 00:34:19,200
the the main battle companies don't i suppose spiral quickly more quickly into the black rage

325
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:26,160
their chaplains like their high chaplains are basically in charge of as well like eliminating

326
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:30,080
those who fall to black rage so it's a pretty there's there are some blood angels out there i

327
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:35,920
think it's um astor asterath the grim he literally just kills blood angels at this point so it's a

328
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:43,760
pretty hard uh existence um it's as much as i very much you know as you know enjoy the jokeyer side

329
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:49,520
of warhammer i mean case in point you can phrase this as the ultimate expression of daddy issues

330
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:55,440
it really is quite just a grim depressing thing especially once you learn about it because i

331
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:59,760
imagine the whole time you're gonna be like when's it gonna happen when's it gonna happen and then

332
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:04,560
maybe it happens to you to go nuts or maybe arguably worse it happens to your best friend

333
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:11,120
and you're left to live with that like fuck yeah there's an interesting thing with like uh the the

334
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:16,480
angels of death series where it's two characters the two sergeants kazarian and an chaos and

335
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:20,960
kazarian for the whole series is struggling with the black rage and the red first and and chaos is

336
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,840
the strong brother who's like we're gonna get through this we're gonna get through this and

337
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:31,040
then like the last episode zarian gets seemingly killed but he survives and all the squad of the

338
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:36,720
blood blood angels die and then an chaos as the last survivor he just he's been strong the whole

339
00:35:36,720 --> 00:35:41,840
series not showing any signs of the black rage and he just goes all right i'm gonna go ragey time and

340
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:47,920
and he fights a tyrannid patriarch and he kills it and so it's like it makes you super strong

341
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:54,160
but it can just come out of nowhere sometimes if you're in a dire situation the more stress

342
00:35:54,720 --> 00:36:00,560
the easier it is to trigger the black rage i do think it also as much as like i think some of the

343
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:07,760
other writers elude to it it is a sort of thing where um they elude to it like it was say if you

344
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:12,880
have like older family members and then possibly like things like i mean obviously a sensitive

345
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,680
topic but like things like dementia and things like that's one of those things where it's like a

346
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:21,920
haunting like end coming and it's like they're all a bit once they know of it they're quite

347
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:27,680
a lot of them gets very somber so that's why it's a lot kept under wraps and also the imperium

348
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:34,560
doesn't like um deviancy shall we say in terms of you know you're meant to be the emperor's angels

349
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:39,360
sort of thing and the inquisition could look but the blood angel is already going around drinking

350
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:43,600
people's blood and that's kind of oh that's the first level of keep it hush hush and then there's

351
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:47,200
and then there's this extra layer and then there's more and more you're like oh it keeps getting

352
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:53,200
worse i wonder i wonder if that's ever let any of them spiral further when they realize like we have

353
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:59,280
two bloodline curses and one of them is is like psychic in nature we can never get rid of that one

354
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:05,600
well i mean it's all gonna and they do counterbalance it with much of their noble

355
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:11,760
acts but uh like you know with their artistry and things so there's there's there's a sort

356
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:17,840
of point to that i will explain later because it actually implies in tomb of histons story but as

357
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:22,800
for kalistarius now he essentially is just he's in the death company and he's essentially just a

358
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:29,760
raving lunatic who is sent from war zone to war zone and he would eventually be sent to the second

359
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:37,120
war of armageddon where my boy yaruk fighting good if anyone's read the book with yaruk and on the

360
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:42,000
war armageddon probably one of the better warhound books i ever made it's so because it's all done

361
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:47,200
from the human perspective and it's so good is that chains of gold gotha i think it's the one

362
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:51,920
before that unfortunately i think it's something if i remember chains of gold goth is when he

363
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:58,640
gets captured by um oh okay oh my god what's the hawk's name um gazkull and he basically yells at

364
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:04,640
him like you i'll kill you and he's like just smiling back at him it's odd um but essentially

365
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:09,760
yeah um in the death company kalistarius is just fighting in the middle of a massive orc swarm

366
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:16,320
he is still using his psychic powers at this time but it's just kind of a rampaging fiend and

367
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:21,120
eventually the orcs just kind of almost overpower him but then a large building i think it's the

368
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:26,000
ecclesiarchy building in the area just gets um blown up and essentially all the debris falls

369
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:32,640
on top of him and it buries the orcs and him underneath a mountain of rubble and this would

370
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:38,960
be where the raging kalistarius was stuck he was in this state where he's desperately trying to

371
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:44,480
get out but then the black rage is taking over his mind he's still somewhere in there and he's

372
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:50,960
eventually because he's actually sat down like and he's forced to confront it he manages to sort of

373
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:58,000
slowly physically claw his way up towards the surface but then also in a mental way he pushes

374
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:05,520
the black rage down and down and after seven days of just literally just crawling and lit and then

375
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:12,720
obviously in his own soul crawling his way back he does emerge on top of it and he conquers the black

376
00:39:12,720 --> 00:39:20,320
rage he no longer feels angry but kalistarius was not the man who stood on the ruins of hades hive

377
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:27,680
it was someone new someone who called himself mephiston and a slight caveat here you're probably

378
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:35,360
thinking why does he call himself mephiston when he emerged from the rubble he was basically a

379
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:43,920
different person and he'd like the way he sees is mephiston is like the name of his soul so

380
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:49,360
kalistarius doesn't make sense to him anymore and i would explain a little bit more of that but

381
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:56,400
essentially mephiston is born here so it literally says like it's a rebirth he's like a new person

382
00:39:56,400 --> 00:40:01,200
and mephiston sprouts his psychic black wings and he essentially soars across the battlefield he is

383
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:06,640
empowered beyond belief and he starts eviscerating orcs just because he can he's kind of exploring

384
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:12,400
his new power until he feels like a psychic presence trying to enter his mind and he is pissed

385
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:17,200
like immediately like someone has the audacity to do this to him and so he flies down next to this

386
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:23,680
shrine and he almost kills the man who was trying to enter his thoughts only to see his old mentor

387
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:30,080
gaius raceless my boy he's back because he was a part of the other blood angel contingent forces

388
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:37,920
here and he last saw kalistarius lost the black rage fight for a long time and now he looks upon

389
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:45,200
this well what was once a very handsome and good looking sort of blood angel all the as a side note

390
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:50,240
all the blood angels when they have the sanguinus's gene seed like placed within them they all become

391
00:40:50,240 --> 00:40:55,760
like more beautiful and like more sort of uh like statue where it's kind of like sanguinus it like

392
00:40:55,760 --> 00:41:00,560
transforms them so ugly kai was definitely saved on that he had a bit of a facelift

393
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:08,480
if everyone remembers in the uk i was at goth kwan he had the kind of goth kwan transformation

394
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:16,640
that's a really good uk reference there but um essentially when raceless now looks upon it's

395
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:22,080
like oh kalistarius you're back you conquered the black rage and then he looks upon him and his

396
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:28,480
face is like gaunt and it's terrifying and it's like a kind of weird like deathly calmness to his

397
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:36,080
face and he looks like whoa indeed he speaks like this instead of how he used to speak

398
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:40,480
doesn't look quite as beautiful as he did before but in like a he still does but in the kind of

399
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:48,960
like terrifying vampire way and mifiston tells raceless that kalistarius is dead and he's now

400
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:58,080
in his place and this is where it kind of makes sense is that mifiston uh he is kalistarius but

401
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:03,040
it's almost like he watched kalistarius's life like it was watching someone's life through tv

402
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:08,320
and he so he knows everything that's happened to kalistarius but it doesn't feel like him

403
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:15,120
he does feel like a new person he just he just filled with the memories of kalistarius mostly

404
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:20,640
but he knows he's not kalistarius it feels like that's like someone else essentially and he's

405
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:27,280
like almost taken over his body but he hasn't and raceless he looks within this mifiston he's a bit

406
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:33,760
you know he's a bit odd um but he sees like a sliver of kalistarius like still in there

407
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:38,720
but he also recognizes that this is a this is a blood angel who's conquered the black rage which

408
00:42:38,720 --> 00:42:44,160
has never been done in the hit in the 10 000 years of the blood angel's history and so he

409
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:51,280
sort of accepts him and he says you know you're in it you know still my friend in a way and i

410
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:55,840
accept you and you're you mean you're like something special to the chapter because you've obviously

411
00:42:55,840 --> 00:43:04,560
conquered our curse and mifiston would now rejoin the chapter um but unfortunately many of them were

412
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:10,560
unnerved by him like even just i think it's really cool point here even dante the chapter master

413
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:15,760
he's not scared of much in this universe but he's actually scared of mifiston whenever he's in the

414
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:21,440
same room as him but it's not like he's trying to intimidate dante he's just being around mifiston

415
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:26,640
kind of makes you go oh like makes like the hair in the back of your neck stick up so that's

416
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:33,200
that's a little bit like it's okay sorry it's like being in the same room as like a primed nuclear

417
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:38,640
warhead it's like you know it's not going to go off unless you make it go off it's still there

418
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:42,240
it's it's still a bomb be hoping that no one drops their phone or something

419
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:50,720
it's like oh drop my phone they do like they recognize like he's got a massive power boost

420
00:43:50,720 --> 00:43:56,400
and obviously when they speak to him like he there is no rage within him they don't sense like a kind

421
00:43:56,400 --> 00:44:03,280
of he literally is like he's undead he's sort of very like low and he's very like calm most of the

422
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:08,960
time and but a lot of them are kind of terrified by what mifiston represents because it's like

423
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:13,920
that's what happens when we come back from the black rage like that's not what i thought would

424
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:20,640
be a cure um but this mifiston would be accepted and he would go on to prove himself uh mifiston

425
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:26,400
as a character now is because obviously he's not calistarius he is actually exceptionally cunning

426
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:33,120
and quite ruthless but not like he's not ruthless where he like chucks civilians at a situation but

427
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:38,080
he will very much just civilians are around the area i have to eliminate that threat and he will

428
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:44,320
launch himself at it he's not necessarily a salamander um but he does he will essentially

429
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:49,600
be the weapon he needs to be and eventually he does earn the rank of chief librarian after this

430
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:54,240
i remember when i was researching this before i'm thinking like when does he become chief librarian

431
00:44:54,240 --> 00:45:00,160
it takes because it's never actually mentioned but it is like somewhat implied that it's after

432
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:05,840
he becomes mifiston mifiston becomes the um could you imagine that you're the you're the chief

433
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:10,400
librarian at the time then mifiston comes out and you see him in a few battles just laying waste to

434
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:16,720
hordes of and you're like he's making me look a bit small i give up yeah i'm going back to like

435
00:45:16,720 --> 00:45:20,720
normal ranks you can you can be the chief librarian now still still stretched i'm just

436
00:45:20,720 --> 00:45:27,280
warming up bro trust me like you know yeah yeah yeah like oh my god my back um but this mifiston

437
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:33,440
was something different um a brief caveat like when he was very early on as mifiston yeah i think

438
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:43,120
it was at 977m41 the demon um um car it's not like okay like that okay but it's definitely not

439
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:49,840
um he did trap mifiston in the crystal caves on solon 5 he attempted to lure mifiston into joining

440
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:56,800
uh chaos but again like mifiston is very much even though there's the power of the black rage within

441
00:45:56,800 --> 00:46:04,160
him it's a tool it's not a curse for him and he very much rejects any demon um sort of

442
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:10,240
treaties or temptations and he basically literally throttles m car out of existence it's really cool

443
00:46:10,240 --> 00:46:16,800
and decades later though is his chief librarian mifiston he's out there in the galaxy with a

444
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:22,640
contingent of blood angels and they would find a broken blood angels vessel drifting in space

445
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:29,360
and it was swarming with your boys the word bearers the ones who know the true uh faith of the

446
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:39,200
yeah the truth not the emperor's false faith and mifiston and his allies would uh cleanse those

447
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:43,920
on board hashtag cleanse it because uh they're pretty aggressive you know i mean even though

448
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:48,720
they're word bearers everyone's scared of blood angels because they're pretty hard hitting and

449
00:46:48,720 --> 00:46:55,360
they would eventually come across a figure who had been missing for a very long time it was reclusiac

450
00:46:55,360 --> 00:47:01,760
querunus if everyone remembers earlier this was a good friend slash even before they were both

451
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:09,120
lexiconiums or reclusiacs they were they were friends as calistarius and querunus and uh

452
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:15,840
and querunus has been lost essentially on a doomed ship for a long time and when he

453
00:47:16,720 --> 00:47:23,120
finally sees his rescuers he's like oh my chapter he sees a gaunt looking haunting

454
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:31,680
uh like figure with a flayed muscled armor and it's the chief librarian mifiston and he's confused

455
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:36,480
because you're meant to be calistarius and he's like i'm not calistarius i'm the first and he

456
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:42,080
talks different he's much more powerful he acts completely different and it's like a sort of past

457
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:48,320
meeting future situation the group would eventually join forces and they would go chase the word bearers

458
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:53,840
down but it was very clear that querunus as much as like he was a very good friend of calistarius

459
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:59,680
he despises this mifiston and he calls him like an abomination because he's a reclusiac he's

460
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:05,600
basically a chaplain and he thinks in a way like very differently to what the idea was of essentially

461
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:12,000
a descendant of sanguinius should look like or behave like and this group would eventually track

462
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:18,320
down their enemy to their planet of uh philin i think uh also they were down to a planet sorry

463
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:24,560
and it was filled with a massive like weird arrangement of like astartes statues but these

464
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:30,640
like very ancient ones so they're like they're very old armor patterns and they would eventually

465
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:35,920
battle some cultists on this world fighting a few more word bearers clean them up very easily

466
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:41,280
and they would eventually find this relic of sanguinius and when they all see it they kind

467
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:45,600
of fall to their knees in worship like they're all like so they literally cry some of them because

468
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:52,000
it's so beautiful it's like a representation of sanguinius it's clearly from the great crusade

469
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:59,840
era and everyone is just in awe except mifiston when he looks at the relic he thinks something's

470
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:04,880
a little bit off about it he's like he's like everyone's at a restaurant and everyone's eating

471
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:10,320
food and he's got like i got the same meal but everyone is like really talking out of their ass

472
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:16,640
like this is not good essentially he thinks everyone is like sniffing like the wrong soup

473
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:22,320
essentially like he's just summing up um but this actually draws more condemnation from crunus

474
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:26,880
because he just basically goes see you don't really you're not really a true blood angel

475
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:31,520
you don't look upon this and then see the beast calling him a poser in the most obnoxious way

476
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:37,600
essentially yeah he's sort of um making well it sort of creates a split because a lot of

477
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:43,440
bloody angels in a way do feel like mifiston is a little bit other although as much as you think oh

478
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:48,320
this must hurt his feelings like for poor mifiston because everyone treats him like an outsider

479
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:55,920
he's not really affected by it because he sees it as them like sort of condemning calisterius or

480
00:49:55,920 --> 00:50:00,640
calisterius and so he doesn't really see it like oh they're not they're not my friends who are

481
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:05,360
rejecting me they're like someone else's so it's like a bunch of strangers being judgmental and

482
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:10,320
you don't really care um but he's not like completely emotionless you're just a little

483
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:17,520
bit i think um out of it in terms of all the the drama he's not part of the the uh the tea

484
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:21,600
club essentially he's not interested the artist formerly known as calisterius does

485
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:30,000
the artist unfortunately this mifiston is right something is not up and eventually this planet

486
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:37,680
that they're um situated on it begins to rumble and split magma spews up as the slain dead around

487
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:45,520
them was actually uh done they were throwing them on purpose to power up a ritual so all this blood

488
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:52,000
that coalesces and eventually brings the demon prince doom breed into real space and he begins

489
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:57,920
attacking the blood angels and this is one of my favorite parts the statues around them like in

490
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:04,480
this sort of um destroyed area they start to crack open and they're revealed to be like ancient blood

491
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:10,640
angels who long ago were like lost to the black rage and they froze themselves in place as a

492
00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:17,520
sacrifice to bind doom breed until now so the blood the blood angels essentially get attacked

493
00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:22,640
by their own and they kind of doom breed like does taunt them like this is your ultimate fate you know

494
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:27,760
he's joined joined corne you know corne's got wednesdays off you know hawaiian t-shirts on

495
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:33,760
friday stuff like that um does he does he look like a bull is that it makes me think about like

496
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:40,400
a minute's heart type name i hope so doom breed is uh i think one of the older demons

497
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:45,920
in wahama lore likes early edition stuff um so he's not really mentioned that much i think i

498
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:50,800
don't think he's even in the horrors heresy that's that's one of the 50 greater demons he far from

499
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:56,720
the quiz right yeah that's actually yeah that's probably six months ago alongside pippa and gura

500
00:51:57,360 --> 00:52:05,440
oh god he disgust me um but during this uh battle mephiston because he's powered up and he

501
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:11,520
he spreads his psychic black wings and he just launches himself at this demon prince and they

502
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:17,040
kind of it's a really funny moment they're just like two like he's like a little gnat essentially

503
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:21,600
you know mephiston and he's like flying at this much bigger thing but obviously he's way powered

504
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:25,520
up so they they're just like wrecking the place they're flying around they both have wings they're

505
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:31,280
just like hitting each other in uh like the space while magma flies everywhere eventually mephiston

506
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:36,800
would win it was quite hard for vitarus made a stunning appearance because vitarus was just

507
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:41,120
absolutely cranking this thing i don't know how vitarus holds out to you because he just

508
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:44,800
takes a lot of punishment there'll be some shenanigans with necrons later which i'll

509
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:50,400
mention be very cool and um he eventually banishes a doom breed back into the warp

510
00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:55,920
unfortunately it's not stuck in place like the ritual but it is what it is and during this

511
00:52:55,920 --> 00:53:02,240
battle queerness his old friend would begin falling to the black rage he'd obviously been alone

512
00:53:02,240 --> 00:53:07,360
too long like what andy said with the um angels of death stuff it was just sometimes you don't

513
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:12,560
have a brother to rely on it can really catch up to you and mephiston encourages him to like fight

514
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:18,240
the black rage but queerness kind of like with a last it was like sanity like holding on he's like

515
00:53:18,240 --> 00:53:23,840
really forcing it he just says like he basically rejects mephiston he says the black rage is like

516
00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:29,520
a holy gift of like you know it's literally the last act of our gene father i wouldn't want to

517
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:33,680
ever become like you which obviously is like quite sad for what would have would have been

518
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:37,760
calistarius but mephiston kind of just takes it on the chin because he's like that he's like that

519
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:43,600
would have been sad for calistarius but i'm not him and eventually parole coronas forced the black

520
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:49,920
rage and is shipped off to join the uh good old death companies very it's a bit of a sad ending

521
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:55,040
because like there's no real victory in this like that first sort of conflict there but uh things

522
00:53:55,040 --> 00:54:01,280
get worse because we next join mephiston on the world of fermea uh mephiston and the blood

523
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:06,080
demons are evacuating the world because okay i don't remember the name of the senos but it's

524
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:13,040
one of the coolest ones i've seen where essentially it's like a multiplying fungi um creature it's

525
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:18,560
like in like white sort of globules and when they touch like flesh they essentially take over and

526
00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:23,360
they get bigger and bigger and bigger so the imperiums has given up on this planet and the

527
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:29,200
blood games are helping evacuate the people and mephiston is just there to assist the evacuation

528
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:35,200
like with all the other blood angels but he's like not on the ground so that you kind of start the

529
00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:40,320
book with um all the blood is going oh where's the where's the cheesed librarian and then you

530
00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:44,960
just hear like the ripping guitar music like he's over there and there's this guy on like black wings

531
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:52,240
it's just like soaring in because at this point there's a tide of like um running like uh like

532
00:54:52,240 --> 00:54:58,800
sort of running weird bulging like humanoid senos like in like a horde running towards the

533
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:03,920
survivors you can just hear free bird solo kicking off in the background as mephiston just plunges

534
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:10,400
just like carving into pieces everyone remembers like early attack on titan how some of the titans

535
00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:16,400
run like a bit weirdly it's like that essentially the xenos and mephiston just soars in and he's

536
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:22,160
just like laying carpets of fire everywhere and all the other people like superhero landing and

537
00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:27,760
everything he actually does i'm not even joking he does actually and he's just like cleaning it

538
00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:31,120
up like you probably think he probably could take on the entire planet but there's just too many of

539
00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:37,120
them so he's just kind of he's essentially he's the heavy artillery and he's burning the xenos

540
00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:43,520
and their thousands and eventually sort of leads to a temple ground and this is where lucius anthros

541
00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:50,160
who's actually the pupil of mephiston so he's one of the younger generations which as a side note

542
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:55,680
it's interesting now because a lot of obviously space marines don't really live forever a lot of

543
00:55:55,680 --> 00:56:00,960
them die very early on even so like not a lot of them make it to be veterans and so this is like

544
00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:07,440
a new generation of blood angels you only know of mephiston like most people now have never even

545
00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:12,960
heard of kalistarius or remember him so it's kind of like that's how much time has passed and

546
00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:21,600
lucius anthros another lexiconium would go psycho sorry for people who knew he would find his lord

547
00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:26,560
in a tornado of black fire like the sense that the xenos will throw themselves at him and he's just

548
00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:34,320
like clawing black flame everywhere and he looks at his mentor's face and it's like oh god that is

549
00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:40,000
horrifying it's literally like a snarling beast so a lot of like i said a lot of the black rage stuff

550
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:46,080
is kept secret but mephiston is using it here as a weapon so he's not really angry he's actually just

551
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:53,280
contorted with the power of the black rage and you can see that his master is sort of losing control

552
00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:58,960
and this would eventually lead to lead to a confrontation back on their homeworld of baal

553
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:04,800
they would enter this like really special blood chamber i'll do like another side note the world

554
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:11,360
building on the blood angels homeworld in a lot of these books is amazing so they have like these

555
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:18,400
weird sort of indian and jones like sort of tunnels and architectural like museums like like hidden

556
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:23,280
like hidden in deep in like vaults beneath baal there's even like these weird guardians to like

557
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:28,400
some of the uh librarian quarters where they are essentially they look like space marines but they

558
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:33,680
wear like different armor and they essentially guard that area forever and they don't go out

559
00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:37,920
ever and they're like even the space marines look at them they go that's they're like terrifying

560
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:44,160
and it's like mosaics and it's like essentially the blood angel you think the blood ravens have

561
00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:48,800
stolen a lot of artifacts the blood angels have got things created by 10 000 i was just imagining

562
00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:56,240
darn day just going it belongs in a museum and then charging into battle it's not too far off too

563
00:57:56,240 --> 00:58:06,000
fair and um miphiston and our boy are uh chad raceless they bring lucius anthros into the fold

564
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:11,840
essentially they show him this like this when i said the blood chamber earlier it's filled with

565
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:17,280
like there's like aspects of blood within it that like sort of create visions and um allow them to

566
00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:21,680
like scry and things like that there's even like a side note as well like miphiston's personal

567
00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:28,640
chambers is actually filled with like the old like dead bodies like the old chief librarians of the

568
00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:33,120
chapter so they all like they had their genes he'd removed but they essentially like their bodies

569
00:58:33,120 --> 00:58:39,120
like their corpses like still talk to them so it's like a weird i just had like the scene of like

570
00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:45,840
him having a tea party with all the corpses it's like oh how are we having with little like little

571
00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:50,240
teacups in their hands moving them around psychically in his off time it is quite cool

572
00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:54,320
though because there's a bit where like they do talk to miphiston there's even a bit where

573
00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:58,400
uh lucius like enters into his personal chambers and he can hear like the voices they're like

574
00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:03,600
judging him a bit because you know they're all essentially the wisdom of the blood angel is

575
00:59:03,600 --> 00:59:09,680
always there because every like chief librarian essentially guards so it's not him being insane

576
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:14,400
it's just they actually can inhabit their former bodies psychically and be like right so the ghost

577
00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:22,720
chapters there yeah yeah it's pretty it's pretty cool and um they are in this chamber with um

578
00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:29,280
raceless and miphiston anthros gets the sort of the download what's been going on so he

579
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:35,120
this explains he gets like a vision of how kalistarus became miphiston so he's a vision of

580
00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:41,520
hayley's hive and then they start to show why something's going wrong with miphiston essentially

581
00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:48,560
miphiston's powers are growing like constantly and he starts to show like black flames like

582
00:59:48,560 --> 00:59:55,120
rippling underneath his armor and he's struggling to contain his power like he's losing he's not

583
00:59:55,120 --> 01:00:01,200
falling into the black rage necessarily but the power keeps going beyond what he can even control

584
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:07,840
with it um but they have a plan because something has come up recently which has changed a lot of

585
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:14,560
uh events and has put things into motion uh it'll be an artifact called the blade purific

586
01:00:14,560 --> 01:00:20,880
which is on an it's an ecclesiarchy artifact that could possibly help contain his power

587
01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:27,360
and then obviously make him an even more potent weapon for the imperium and the only problem is

588
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:35,280
is that this artifact is on a world which is completely lost like they don't know where it

589
01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:41,920
is in terms of it should be here and it's not here um it's supposedly literally veiled by the

590
01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:48,160
warp itself like something is intentionally hiding it but and that's what they've been that's the

591
01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:52,560
problem they've had so far but luckily something else has happened which has allowed them to find

592
01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:57,680
it because miphiston the boy himself like when they've been back on barl has been sending him

593
01:00:57,680 --> 01:01:04,400
his soul into the warp um like alone completely like essentially flying past demons and he's

594
01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:11,200
actually found this planet and he's brought someone back with him and it's i feel so bad for this guy

595
01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:16,880
because he he brings back like a ecclesiarchy priestess a random one on the planet literally

596
01:01:16,880 --> 01:01:21,760
goes like yoink and so i guess i just traveled through the warp to transport her back to barl

597
01:01:22,720 --> 01:01:28,320
and i'm like i don't want this he's like sheesh it's like oh my god it's like the worst experience

598
01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:33,840
ever um just just going on to dante being like hey dante look at this thing there's just like a

599
01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:40,240
little this guy screaming yeah this guy is not i think he if i remember correctly he i think he

600
01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:44,000
is a little bit of chaos taint on him as well that's how he's able to find him and basically

601
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:50,080
miphiston went mines went yoink and when he when he actually like sees miphiston like properly

602
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:54,800
literally gets like terrified like oh my god that's the most haunting thing i've ever seen

603
01:01:54,800 --> 01:02:01,200
literally a vampire in my face and miphiston our our boy race i'm gonna say every time our boy

604
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:07,680
raceless because by the way when uh they were telling anthros like anthros sorry of um miphiston's

605
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:13,280
like condition raceless is like the old he's older than miphiston and like calistarus by quite a bit

606
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:19,600
but he sort of is a very overprotective friend and he's sort of he's really grumpy because he's

607
01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:24,880
actually like very protective of his friend so he's very much like a kind-hearted guy in the end and

608
01:02:24,880 --> 01:02:31,280
he always like backs miphiston up he's always there for him sorry i just love him can i have any of

609
01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:38,000
you making it sound like a sitcom just like miphiston he's not such a bad guy so miphiston at

610
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:43,600
this moment does not deserve him i imagine yeah i kind of and kind of not because he's not evil

611
01:02:43,600 --> 01:02:49,920
but miphiston is not very let's say he's evil he's not very warm he still protects the innocent

612
01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:55,920
he's just he's just when the people see very misunderstood it's a little bit of this salamanders

613
01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:59,680
problem where like he's not as nice as salamander but you know people are scared of salamanders

614
01:02:59,680 --> 01:03:04,640
when they take their helmets off because he's not any more evil than any given person the imperium

615
01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:10,240
is no not really um but there are some cool moments that will kind of humanize him in a bit

616
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:16,800
um and essentially then this poor priest that he's dragged from this planet they use him as an anchor

617
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:21,200
and then like some of the ecclesiarchy have like come to talk to miphiston being like help find our

618
01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:26,240
planet he's like sure i was going there anyway and they eventually this priest goes off you know

619
01:03:26,800 --> 01:03:30,480
you know that's a horrible experience and then he goes like yeah we're going back

620
01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:36,960
and they're using him as like an anchor point because he's like connected to the world now

621
01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:43,840
and so they use um they're using him as a ritual point to help open up a massive tear within the

622
01:03:43,840 --> 01:03:49,200
confines of Baal uh this doesn't go well immediately like nurgle demons like trying

623
01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:54,640
to crawl out and they immediately attack the librarians within their own like literally on

624
01:03:54,640 --> 01:04:00,480
Baal they attack them within their inner sanctums and they do manage to battle them back for a bit

625
01:04:00,720 --> 01:04:05,760
and this is where they finally use the ritual and they teleport themselves just literally through

626
01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:09,920
the warp which is actually extremely dangerous so it's probably why you haven't heard a lot of other

627
01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:15,680
lore times when they do this and also it's implied that it's only really capable with

628
01:04:15,680 --> 01:04:21,200
miphiston because he is so powerful to be used to like yeah i know the i know the grey knights can

629
01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:25,280
shunt themselves through the wall but that's because they're the grey knights it's like we're

630
01:04:25,280 --> 01:04:31,040
supposed to be the only ones who can do that but like miphiston okay he gets a free pass yeah he

631
01:04:31,040 --> 01:04:37,520
i guess the he kind of is the equivalent to a pack or a i guess a cluster of grey knights essentially

632
01:04:37,520 --> 01:04:44,400
he's used to help empower this ritual and just a small note here teleportation no matter what it is

633
01:04:44,960 --> 01:04:50,720
in warhammer it's never quite perfect and even if some people who've listened to the horrors

634
01:04:50,720 --> 01:04:55,920
heresy there's even that scene in shattered legions where like all the shattered legions

635
01:04:55,920 --> 01:05:01,360
are like they they survive istvarn a few of them they regroup and they go on to attack the traitor

636
01:05:01,360 --> 01:05:06,080
forces but they're using reckless moves like teleportation like when they teleport i think

637
01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:13,680
it's um shadraq medusen like teleports from the iron hand he teleports onto a sons of horrorship

638
01:05:13,680 --> 01:05:19,280
i think it is and some of the raven guard with him just end up in the structure of the like yeah

639
01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:23,360
because they're at that point we're like well our primarch's dead already we might as well just do

640
01:05:23,360 --> 01:05:28,080
whatever we can even if we die trying they've got nothing to lose so it's pretty i mean to

641
01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:33,520
survive istvarn to then go down like essentially because your head was then in the middle of it

642
01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:42,080
it's like a minecraft chunk error happened pretty much although hell you're forgetting something

643
01:05:42,080 --> 01:05:49,200
teleportation isn't perfect unless you're the necrons or leagues of otan yeah pretty true um

644
01:05:49,200 --> 01:05:55,920
especially if it's warp teleportation um there's also a awful bit here where and like they're all

645
01:05:55,920 --> 01:06:00,720
not teleported perfectly together so they actually don't end up on the right planet initially and

646
01:06:00,720 --> 01:06:07,600
they have to do it again um but this is like the idea of ms mphiston going whoops and then back in

647
01:06:07,600 --> 01:06:12,800
essentially it is but the first time it happened like they're with a squad of uh blood angels and

648
01:06:12,800 --> 01:06:18,720
anthros sees the blood blood angel in front of him get teleported like and essentially his torso

649
01:06:18,720 --> 01:06:24,480
is in the middle of the ground and like a puddle of blood just starts to fall out he's like oh

650
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:29,600
literally he teleports like his body halfway into the solid ground so essentially that does remind

651
01:06:29,600 --> 01:06:33,680
me of something i've seen where there's i've seen that happen in something i can't but it is though

652
01:06:34,560 --> 01:06:38,800
yeah it's a pretty i thought the blood angel was like crawling like to have like help me brother

653
01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:42,880
and it's like it's like oh my god they haven't even got there yet and they do it again and

654
01:06:42,880 --> 01:06:47,200
essentially a few of the blood angels like three or four and like just don't make it because they

655
01:06:47,200 --> 01:06:54,320
get essentially teleported in the middle of objects that's how they die um but they do make it eventually

656
01:06:54,320 --> 01:07:02,320
to the planet and its name is divinus prime which is also a cool name and the i said that i think

657
01:07:02,320 --> 01:07:06,880
the blood angels books are really good world building the strange thing about this planet is

658
01:07:06,880 --> 01:07:13,440
it's basically entirely made of bone and i mean literally like not as in like solid bone i mean

659
01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:21,120
as in piles and piles of bone is everywhere so from little giant creatures that were probably

660
01:07:21,120 --> 01:07:26,000
the size of cities like rib cages that literally come out of the ground and you can't see the top

661
01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:30,400
to literally like small mammals and like reptiles and things like that it's literally

662
01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:36,240
everywhere across this planet so it's a really weird place and even weirder that it's an ecclesiastical

663
01:07:36,240 --> 01:07:42,880
world apparently so they've been um it's a really cool scene then also the skyl that's like the sky

664
01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:48,320
sorry is uh something's really wrong with the sky like it's rippling it's clearly like the warp

665
01:07:48,320 --> 01:07:54,400
shielding that's been happening to it and this world unfortunately is caught within a civil war

666
01:07:54,400 --> 01:08:00,720
there's been a religious uprising which has been secretly manipulated by zinchen cultists

667
01:08:01,360 --> 01:08:07,680
and they eventually do make it to one of the last cities the strongholds for the imperial faction on

668
01:08:07,680 --> 01:08:13,200
this world they have to go through this massive like corridor of like um crucified ecclesiastical

669
01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:18,160
priests which is like kind of like oh god it's a little bit haunting but mephistons just takes

670
01:08:18,160 --> 01:08:22,800
it with chest and he's like we'll just keep have to keep going doesn't matter and when they enter

671
01:08:22,800 --> 01:08:29,600
this sort of last bastion city they do meet with and funny enough one of mephistons like old friends

672
01:08:29,600 --> 01:08:35,200
a man whose name is father orsuf i think i'm getting that correctly and i'm gonna lie this

673
01:08:35,200 --> 01:08:40,800
is like one of my favorite parts of the book because also like as a he's like a 90 year old

674
01:08:40,800 --> 01:08:47,280
retired imperial officer and he actually remember he's fought with mephistons since he was young so

675
01:08:47,280 --> 01:08:51,920
it kind of makes you think oh yeah like mephistons again like i said earlier he's been around like as

676
01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:59,840
mephistons for quite a while and anthros sees him interact with this um like he's called father

677
01:08:59,840 --> 01:09:04,080
because again it's like an ecclesiastical thing so they're all become priests at this point and

678
01:09:04,080 --> 01:09:07,760
it's the first time he actually sees mephistons smile and he's actually like quite warm and

679
01:09:07,760 --> 01:09:12,640
friendly with this guy because it's like you know best buds sort of thing and like you know

680
01:09:12,640 --> 01:09:16,320
you remember that and he's like you remember that conflict mephistons like i do it was good one

681
01:09:16,320 --> 01:09:20,560
essentially so it's quite a nice like human building moment do you remember when you pulled

682
01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:24,560
that demon's head off with just your bare hands like yeah that was a good day that was a good day

683
01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:29,040
yeah he's a little bit he's a little bit eccentric so he's like one of his eyes is like essentially a

684
01:09:29,040 --> 01:09:35,040
essentially a monocle like um sort of zoom in like binocular thing and then he's a little bit

685
01:09:35,040 --> 01:09:39,520
hunched over a bit as soon as he sees mephistons he starts like like smiling like grinning ear to

686
01:09:39,520 --> 01:09:46,000
ear and he's like buddy what's up dude and he's like it's like good to see you buddy essentially

687
01:09:46,720 --> 01:09:53,200
Sharon look who it is you haven't seen him in ages oh get out the fine china yeah let's have

688
01:09:53,200 --> 01:09:57,680
a takeaway i don't know yeah they kind of it's a nice moment where you go like oh yeah he actually

689
01:09:57,680 --> 01:10:03,840
has been serving around the imperium he's actually not like as terrifying as everyone

690
01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:08,560
basically everyone gets lured into thinking he's the what everyone says about him rather than what

691
01:10:08,560 --> 01:10:14,880
he is and like he's actually come to he sensed uh father orsos presence and he's come to him to

692
01:10:14,880 --> 01:10:20,080
help him work out the mystery of the blade purific because like they found like the symbols of it

693
01:10:20,080 --> 01:10:24,640
around there's like a trite a trident or like sorry three sword symbol that people have been

694
01:10:24,640 --> 01:10:31,760
wearing it's like a holy like um pendant around it's a very confusing plot to the overarching

695
01:10:31,760 --> 01:10:36,800
like planet like something's obviously clearly going on and unfortunately as this is happening

696
01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:43,120
mephistons power is still growing it's to his time is like feels like it's running out they like

697
01:10:43,120 --> 01:10:47,920
black flames are starting to leak a bit more and he starts to like feel the black rays rise up again

698
01:10:47,920 --> 01:10:52,080
he's not really falling into it but it's kind of like essentially you know those videos like when

699
01:10:52,080 --> 01:10:59,840
a kid holds like a fire hydrant or a fire hose thing and then it's clearly and then they're on

700
01:10:59,840 --> 01:11:04,240
a roller coaster yeah and like the poor fireman has to try and grab it and it's like slipping

701
01:11:04,240 --> 01:11:09,760
around like a snake that's essentially what it feels like um they do eventually get ambushed

702
01:11:09,760 --> 01:11:14,960
the blood angels within the city there's like this massive amphitheater filled with thousands of

703
01:11:15,520 --> 01:11:21,040
zealous people who've come to meet this uh traveling priest but it's actually a ploy

704
01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:26,880
by the heretics and the it's quite funny when the priest comes out on stage because it it does say

705
01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:33,200
in the book he comes out with like that smile which is like hi guys like he's like a bit nervous

706
01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:38,080
to be on stage i found really funny like he's not confident about what he's about to do but he's

707
01:11:38,080 --> 01:11:45,440
like you know guess i'll give heresy a try like oh god um it's a little it's so fun like he like

708
01:11:45,440 --> 01:11:50,080
kind of rubs his hands together it's like oh god you know it's a little bit like keeps you nervous

709
01:11:50,080 --> 01:11:56,960
um but he eventually turns into a demon and you know basically it kicks off and the fist and then

710
01:11:56,960 --> 01:12:04,720
the blood angels just dive in poor old raceless and uh anthros are there too and uh the problem

711
01:12:04,720 --> 01:12:08,960
is that again Mephisson he doesn't feel like he can use his power to his full extent so he's

712
01:12:08,960 --> 01:12:15,360
actually struggling to put down this demon even though normally he'd be fine um eventually the

713
01:12:15,360 --> 01:12:21,920
entire amphitheater everyone gets turned into demons by like the little um pendants they're

714
01:12:21,920 --> 01:12:28,720
actually little sort of warp-powered infusions a little kind of um what's it when they etch

715
01:12:28,720 --> 01:12:33,520
runes into the essentially runes essentially and they eventually get turned like blue and pink

716
01:12:33,520 --> 01:12:40,400
horrors and the blood like raceless and anthros are just caked in like gore because they're just

717
01:12:40,400 --> 01:12:45,840
like literally every swing is like three four demons down and eventually they fill the whole

718
01:12:45,840 --> 01:12:52,000
place with fire and Mephisson uses like the flame vortex to help burn all the delicious demons back

719
01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:57,600
away and you know they're they are victorious and they do discover the location of the blade

720
01:12:57,600 --> 01:13:03,440
purific it's high up in the mountains and they quickly rush to the guardians aid sorry the

721
01:13:03,440 --> 01:13:09,760
guardians who are at the relic place find that they are a sisters of battle contingent and they

722
01:13:09,760 --> 01:13:14,080
are essentially the guardians of the blade purific who have been there in secret and they join them

723
01:13:14,080 --> 01:13:18,880
because they're being attacked by a massive force of traitor god but they don't they've been tricked

724
01:13:18,880 --> 01:13:25,600
they don't really know that they're traitors until too late and then some demons uh also appear

725
01:13:25,600 --> 01:13:31,040
there's also a demon named uh zarambus who's like a weird twisted like he looks like a sort of

726
01:13:31,040 --> 01:13:37,920
britonian knight i know you're gonna hate that colin um he looks like a sort of arthurian legend

727
01:13:37,920 --> 01:13:43,920
knight look i don't hate king arthur on principle king arthur is cool i hate his bastard offspring

728
01:13:43,920 --> 01:13:50,480
from fantasy but he does uh was around this like a weird figure and he's obviously it's implied that

729
01:13:50,480 --> 01:13:55,440
there are like multiple factions of zinch playing a game and like competing for this artifact and

730
01:13:55,440 --> 01:14:00,880
he's kind of loses his crap when Mephisson ends and he's like he's like sort of like a no i'm so

731
01:14:00,880 --> 01:14:06,880
annoyed like a bit of a mouthful moment um from the boss uh the blast the battle between the two

732
01:14:06,880 --> 01:14:14,960
forces pretty fierce like Mephisson is kind of losing his control a bit as he as like you know

733
01:14:14,960 --> 01:14:21,760
he's basically snapped off vitarus and him and the zarambus are essentially dueling it out and the

734
01:14:21,760 --> 01:14:27,040
even the sky above them literally collapses because the warp is failing around them and

735
01:14:27,600 --> 01:14:31,520
it's a very hard book to follow at this point i had to reread this a couple of times because

736
01:14:31,520 --> 01:14:37,120
a little bit confusing because it all happens a bit too quickly um essentially the sky starts to

737
01:14:37,120 --> 01:14:42,480
reflect the true earth that they're meant to be standing on and they realize like actually the

738
01:14:42,480 --> 01:14:48,000
plant they're standing on is a demonic like reflection of the true divinus prime so when the

739
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:52,640
powers of the warp are starting to collapse because of the battle and like all the forces of zinch are

740
01:14:52,640 --> 01:14:58,560
kind of losing their hold the true place they all have to like essentially jump and then they land

741
01:14:58,560 --> 01:15:02,480
on the true divinus prime above him and then the world just suddenly flips and the demon one

742
01:15:02,480 --> 01:15:06,640
disappears really hard to follow in the book by the way if you read this andy in the coming future

743
01:15:08,400 --> 01:15:15,360
but it is a it is a cool scene and they do finally get to the top of this uh mountain peak area

744
01:15:15,920 --> 01:15:21,200
and then they see the blade purific but then unfortunately the last second is snatched away

745
01:15:21,200 --> 01:15:27,600
by some cultists and lucius anthros is pissed because when he was there he actually saw

746
01:15:27,600 --> 01:15:33,120
mephiston let them go and he starts off like a bit of doubt like are you a heretic like why the hell

747
01:15:33,120 --> 01:15:39,360
did you do that what the hell's wrong with you um but mephiston did actually the problem is that

748
01:15:39,360 --> 01:15:43,280
mephiston when he arrived there he uses powers he looked at the relic and he saw that actually it

749
01:15:43,280 --> 01:15:49,680
was a dud essentially and it wasn't the real thing and it wouldn't solve his power rising problem

750
01:15:50,320 --> 01:15:56,000
but he realized like there's obviously a massive like something has something's clearly amiss with

751
01:15:56,000 --> 01:16:01,120
this whole whole event that's been happening and it reeks of like this like someone manipulating

752
01:16:01,120 --> 01:16:05,680
things behind the scene it's clearly a game going on with like a zinchen cult and maybe even

753
01:16:05,680 --> 01:16:12,240
architects behind that and so he plays like a psychic what um uh what's it called like when

754
01:16:12,240 --> 01:16:17,440
someone wants to trace something it's like a uh like you know like spies they put stuff on things

755
01:16:17,440 --> 01:16:21,920
like ben said you trace it a trace that's it um he was like a psychic trace i can't think of the

756
01:16:21,920 --> 01:16:27,920
word it was like a psychic trace on the um blade periphery from his mind so he can therefore

757
01:16:27,920 --> 01:16:33,840
sort of he lets it go just so then he can sort of then try and work out what's really going on but

758
01:16:33,840 --> 01:16:38,560
it's obviously a little bit sad in the books like he sort of accepts like i don't think there is a

759
01:16:38,560 --> 01:16:45,760
cure for my advising power but like basically accept that and i'm okay with it because if i'm

760
01:16:45,760 --> 01:16:50,080
meant to die in the imperial service that it is what it is it is what it is he doesn't say it in

761
01:16:50,080 --> 01:16:55,840
those exact words but um it is what it is and don't worry boys we're cracking through i told

762
01:16:55,840 --> 01:17:01,200
you this is a long one i just like the idea of like mephistone at the end of the book going

763
01:17:01,200 --> 01:17:07,040
well you know sometimes you've just got to bear with it and keep your chin up everyone and it's

764
01:17:07,040 --> 01:17:11,920
okay to have a bit of rage now and then just bottle it inside just having like one of those

765
01:17:11,920 --> 01:17:18,880
pieces of space again it's a fan i think that's a family guy bit punches the wall so hard he bleeds

766
01:17:20,720 --> 01:17:27,360
one v one how does mephistone or caldo trago come out on that um i would say probably caldo

767
01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:33,920
just because he's more built to fight psychic stuff whereas like he's got the power of matt ward

768
01:17:33,920 --> 01:17:38,240
i think mephistone would do better against mostly everything else though like he could

769
01:17:38,240 --> 01:17:42,400
be hordes and hordes of tyrannids and things like that i don't know i'm still waiting for a buddy

770
01:17:42,400 --> 01:17:47,440
cop movie with tigurius and mephistone going through that'd be awesome and then they just

771
01:17:47,440 --> 01:17:51,600
like you know like that bit in monsters inc where they bump into the abominable snowman and it's

772
01:17:51,600 --> 01:17:58,160
caldo drago that's what i want to see what a reference snow cones anyone snow cones exactly

773
01:17:59,040 --> 01:18:04,720
what flavor is that snow cone looks a little sus um he's like he's like moving a pile of rocks

774
01:18:04,720 --> 01:18:11,680
back and forth into place like where this is the portal how do we get back it's an old film now

775
01:18:11,680 --> 01:18:17,920
it's good though those films are so well written they even hold up now which is so cool real wizard

776
01:18:17,920 --> 01:18:23,360
of oz is old but it's still a classic oh here we go something's flying monkeys haunting my dreams

777
01:18:23,360 --> 01:18:28,000
i hope i hope you're not telling me wizard of oz isn't a classic no it's a classic but doesn't

778
01:18:28,000 --> 01:18:33,360
mean it's good yeah i'm not really a fan either i'm not gonna lie i think she's got some monkeys

779
01:18:33,360 --> 01:18:37,280
gave me nightmares when i was a kid i mean that's fair i mean i guess out of every reason not to

780
01:18:37,280 --> 01:18:42,720
like it that's fair enough if everyone has seen some of the older james bond films i've watched

781
01:18:42,720 --> 01:18:47,520
every single james bond film they are all classics but some of the older ones like there's like a

782
01:18:47,520 --> 01:18:54,560
definite tone of like oh this is old school if you know what i mean yeah yeah i mean

783
01:18:56,320 --> 01:18:58,960
golden eyes the only one you have to watch golden eyes the best one

784
01:18:58,960 --> 01:19:03,200
oh hey guys you don't have it read any horse heresy books

785
01:19:04,160 --> 01:19:10,000
you haven't seen them in the movie i'm correct you lie i've only seen the new ones to be fair

786
01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:15,760
skyfall's good yeah they're okay uh speaking of mephiston though not in james bond or having

787
01:19:15,760 --> 01:19:22,560
those attitudes uh mephiston would the next peer so up here at the devastation of barl this is one

788
01:19:22,560 --> 01:19:26,720
of the best books in warhammer if you haven't you actually read this as a beginner so if you

789
01:19:26,720 --> 01:19:31,680
are listening you're like i haven't i don't really want to read like a warhammer book this is a pretty

790
01:19:31,680 --> 01:19:36,160
good one because it's a really yeah i haven't listened to it yet but it's kind of one of those

791
01:19:36,160 --> 01:19:41,760
classics like if you're getting into it this is a good one to start with it's a this is we should

792
01:19:41,760 --> 01:19:45,360
we probably have to do a full episode on this one day because there's just so much that happens

793
01:19:45,360 --> 01:19:51,040
but i'll try and go through mostly mephiston's part which is at the beginning of the book he

794
01:19:51,040 --> 01:19:58,560
senses from the warp that kabanda the demon prince of corn is seeking to attack the blood angels

795
01:19:58,560 --> 01:20:04,880
and he wants to try and kill all of them before high fleet leviathan the tyranids which are also

796
01:20:04,880 --> 01:20:10,960
attacking basically wipes him out first so there's like a three way or essentially two-on-one situation

797
01:20:10,960 --> 01:20:20,000
happening here and the blood angels are in deep crap he even mephiston even interrogates okay

798
01:20:20,000 --> 01:20:24,640
this i'm gonna butcher this name because it's so hard to pronounce he interrogates the

799
01:20:24,640 --> 01:20:32,640
octo cali vela which is and i should did it first time it's an ancient like immortal xenos prisoner

800
01:20:32,640 --> 01:20:39,200
on ball who is they actually can't kill it like they try to and they just keep it as like a it's

801
01:20:39,200 --> 01:20:46,400
like a chaos corrupted um it's a zoo animal essentially it's like a multi-limb like weird

802
01:20:46,400 --> 01:20:53,040
thing it has no other members of its race alive it's it's a weird creature they kind of torture

803
01:20:53,040 --> 01:20:57,600
it once in a while for like information on chaos but that'd be like it's even brother brother

804
01:20:57,600 --> 01:21:03,280
frederick poker with the sharp stick okay it's even cool enough it's actually even it's guarded

805
01:21:03,280 --> 01:21:10,480
by a previous chapter i'm sorry it's guarded by a previous chief librarian who's who was injured by

806
01:21:10,480 --> 01:21:15,440
it and now is like in a dreadnought and he just stands outside guarding this thing because it's

807
01:21:15,440 --> 01:21:19,840
the thing that put him in the dreadnought in the first place funny enough but he has to guard it

808
01:21:19,840 --> 01:21:24,640
the entire time because it's just so dangerous and they kind of torture it for more information

809
01:21:24,640 --> 01:21:30,320
they could they basically work out commanders coming to attack the blood angels and this is

810
01:21:30,320 --> 01:21:37,440
a bad news so dante sends out the call and all of the chapters of blood answer it so the blood

811
01:21:37,440 --> 01:21:44,000
angels essentially of all the divergent chapters they reassemble back onto the homeward of ball

812
01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:50,320
into literally like legion-sized numbers it's a really cool moment there's this i have i cannot

813
01:21:51,200 --> 01:21:57,760
i'll be remiss if i didn't mention it probably one of the coolest scenes in warhammer is where all of

814
01:21:57,760 --> 01:22:03,680
the various representatives of the different chapters like the hall is filled with thousands

815
01:22:03,680 --> 01:22:09,840
of them and they essentially assemble for the meeting that they're about to have and what is

816
01:22:09,840 --> 01:22:16,080
paraded in front of them is essentially the best of the blood angels so they see like relics they

817
01:22:16,080 --> 01:22:22,000
all like literally hold their breath because they're seeing like relics of the age of like

818
01:22:22,000 --> 01:22:27,360
sanguineous is like when alive essentially they see the last there's a relic called the last

819
01:22:27,360 --> 01:22:32,480
feather of sanguineous and it has even like a bit of blood on it as well from when essentially

820
01:22:32,480 --> 01:22:39,680
uh nasir amit the flesh terror sort of made it oh sanguineous died eat shit traitor that guy

821
01:22:40,560 --> 01:22:47,520
they parade out um like old patterns like their relic patterns of um armor from different

822
01:22:47,520 --> 01:22:51,520
eras of the blood angels they bring out all their relics their banners they're literally

823
01:22:52,080 --> 01:22:57,360
all of their sanguinary guard they bring out dante mephiston like everyone essentially is

824
01:22:57,360 --> 01:23:02,880
paraded in front of the other essentially it's like a massive like showing off of what their blood line

825
01:23:02,880 --> 01:23:07,760
is essentially i'm just i'm just envisioning like a blood angel's equivalent of antiques roadshow

826
01:23:07,760 --> 01:23:13,840
and it's like here we have the uh 31st millennium uh cup that sanguineous used to drink out of and

827
01:23:13,840 --> 01:23:17,040
you look on the bottom here it's got the maker's mark and they're all just like geeking out of it

828
01:23:17,040 --> 01:23:21,280
and meanwhile the tyranids are just getting ever closer like guys we're getting distracted can we

829
01:23:21,280 --> 01:23:27,760
like get on with it it's a little bit distracting but it is a really cool scene because essentially

830
01:23:27,760 --> 01:23:32,400
like there's these all these chapters and different armor and they have all different looks and things

831
01:23:32,400 --> 01:23:37,760
like that but they all just kind of stare at this moment of like essentially the glory of the blood

832
01:23:37,760 --> 01:23:44,000
angels is put on display and dante like sits down wearing the mask of sanguineous and they all just

833
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:48,160
go like it's like they all like nudge each other like oh my god oh shit you know i mean like they

834
01:23:48,160 --> 01:23:55,440
kind of like it is oh it's my phone it is like it's eerily silent when they're all just essentially

835
01:23:55,440 --> 01:23:59,360
staring at the glory of like their bloodline because some of them haven't even probably

836
01:23:59,360 --> 01:24:03,760
interacted with the blood angels for literally thousands of years so this is like a it's a

837
01:24:03,760 --> 01:24:08,400
massive moment it's really well done by guy hailey the author it's a really cool scene

838
01:24:08,400 --> 01:24:12,640
i know i've not even done it justice here but if you ever read that book you'd be like oh my god

839
01:24:12,640 --> 01:24:21,280
and uh where was i so they have this massive sort of just basically this massive display scene

840
01:24:21,920 --> 01:24:28,080
and they say like you know tyranids are coming and we need to stop them but then mephicyn is

841
01:24:28,080 --> 01:24:32,560
given his secret mission because he doesn't want they don't want to let them rest of them know

842
01:24:32,560 --> 01:24:36,720
what's really like if they knew about commander coming as well with like essentially the forces

843
01:24:36,720 --> 01:24:42,640
of korn there's like oh crap so mephicyn is actually he's given carte blanche to do whatever

844
01:24:42,640 --> 01:24:47,120
he can to stop commander and he even asked ante like i could do anything i want and he just goes

845
01:24:47,120 --> 01:24:51,520
just do what you need to do and like okay because they're about to do something which is a little

846
01:24:51,520 --> 01:24:59,120
bit heretical so he takes a contingent of all of the different psyches from many of the chapters

847
01:24:59,680 --> 01:25:05,840
so like they're all in like different armor and they follow mephicyn into the crystal caves of

848
01:25:05,840 --> 01:25:11,040
baal there's a cool scene to fair when they're they're trying to fly there and there's obviously

849
01:25:11,040 --> 01:25:14,720
the shadow and the warp from the tyranids so they're a little bit like dulled in power at this point

850
01:25:15,360 --> 01:25:20,800
and essentially they get attacked by flying tyranids like in the initial invasion and mephicyn goes i

851
01:25:20,800 --> 01:25:25,120
got this he literally like opened the back door and he's eventually flies out with his wings and

852
01:25:25,120 --> 01:25:31,840
starts cranking uh tyrannids in the air and all the other like psyches are going oh my god and then

853
01:25:31,840 --> 01:25:34,560
all the other blood angels are like yeah that's my boy like you know what i mean

854
01:25:34,560 --> 01:25:38,640
like that's what we got what is that thing oh that's one of us what do you have that's our boy

855
01:25:38,640 --> 01:25:44,480
that's our boy and um he does return he flies back he literally does it and he flies back in

856
01:25:44,480 --> 01:25:50,400
essentially like iron man moment and um they enter these like secret caverns underneath baal they're

857
01:25:50,400 --> 01:25:56,240
filled with blood crystals so they're mentally like a uh they harmonize and they like enhance

858
01:25:56,240 --> 01:26:00,880
psychic power so they feel like their strength returned to them and mephicyn was like almost

859
01:26:00,880 --> 01:26:04,960
like stumbling as they were walking in then he starts like walk up straight and he looks

860
01:26:04,960 --> 01:26:09,120
a little bit too tall it's like oh god he's like really powered up he's even more powered up than

861
01:26:09,120 --> 01:26:16,080
usual and this is the part where they start to get a little bit heretical they do this ritual

862
01:26:16,080 --> 01:26:21,360
where they have like they all drink a portion of each other's blood and they're all bonded together

863
01:26:21,360 --> 01:26:28,960
as like sons of sanguineous and they literally open a tear into the warp on baal like on baal

864
01:26:28,960 --> 01:26:35,200
primus so they're back on the original planet not uh balsa cundus where the chapter masters

865
01:26:35,760 --> 01:26:43,360
and the um monastery is they essentially open a portal into the warp they all you they they push

866
01:26:43,360 --> 01:26:49,120
their power together and essentially mephicyn draws his phataris ignites it with fire and his

867
01:26:49,120 --> 01:26:55,120
sprouts his black wings and just says oy cabanda fight me essentially he has a delay cabanda as

868
01:26:55,120 --> 01:26:58,720
long as possible and he well he says it a lot better than that because he says it in his like

869
01:26:58,720 --> 01:27:05,280
lord of death voice which like really raspy like you will and mephicyn said to to cabanda ah my

870
01:27:05,280 --> 01:27:10,080
dad could beat up your dad he said what and then they get into a big fight yeah what if it's for

871
01:27:10,080 --> 01:27:16,960
people who are new this is literally the balrog versus gandalf scene and except um mephicyn is

872
01:27:16,960 --> 01:27:23,200
not using a staff he's using a sword and him and cabanda battle for a bit but this is cabanda

873
01:27:23,200 --> 01:27:30,320
inside the warp so he's a little bit too powerful and mephicyn does his best but he was never going

874
01:27:30,320 --> 01:27:34,320
to be able to beat a demon in the warp even in as much as he was empowered by the other blood

875
01:27:34,320 --> 01:27:39,200
angels in fact some let's not forget he's he's kind of got a storied history of the blood angels

876
01:27:39,200 --> 01:27:45,200
and like he this is the demon that basically gave them their uh their their red first curse kind of

877
01:27:45,200 --> 01:27:50,560
i believe he bolsters that in the horus heresy so he's like he's like the arch enemy of the demons

878
01:27:50,560 --> 01:27:55,600
for the blood angels in a lot of ways he's also uh the commander's literally attacking now because

879
01:27:55,600 --> 01:27:59,040
he wants to kill the blood angels before the tyrannist does because he's like that's what i

880
01:27:59,920 --> 01:28:07,920
do and kill steal do not have time pretty much and um mephicyn does a pretty decent job of like

881
01:28:07,920 --> 01:28:15,680
holding him off for a time but again he had probably no chance uh in winning and the rituals

882
01:28:15,680 --> 01:28:21,200
does start to fail like i think it's some of the uh psychers they start he tries the commander tries

883
01:28:21,200 --> 01:28:27,120
to tempt them and they'll hold firm for a decent part even raceless like the older librede is like

884
01:28:27,120 --> 01:28:32,400
hold it together boys like he's again the chad move he's like holding it down it actually does

885
01:28:32,400 --> 01:28:37,520
start to crumble unfortunately funny enough anthros which actually anthros is quite young

886
01:28:37,520 --> 01:28:42,400
so even though he's a powerful uh lexiconium he is quite young it's unfortunately he's actually the

887
01:28:42,400 --> 01:28:47,280
chink in this and it starts to fail there eventually they're pushed back into real

888
01:28:47,280 --> 01:28:52,320
space and the kind of crystal caves collapse on them they do all live but they are literally out

889
01:28:52,320 --> 01:28:58,960
of the fight for the rest of the devastation of baal but their plan to delay kabanda has worked

890
01:28:58,960 --> 01:29:04,400
slightly because kabanda instead of landing on baal secundus and essentially wiping out where most of

891
01:29:04,400 --> 01:29:10,080
the blood angel forces are he actually lands on baal primus which is again like the sort of big

892
01:29:10,080 --> 01:29:16,400
planetoid and it's not where most of the blood angels forces are and he essentially gets thrown

893
01:29:16,400 --> 01:29:21,280
into a horde of tyranids and some i can't remember the name of the chapter but it's like a renegade

894
01:29:21,280 --> 01:29:27,120
chapter blood angel so they're not even loyalist technically but they but they throw themselves

895
01:29:27,120 --> 01:29:33,120
they throw themselves as like a last sacrifice to um essentially die was it the knights of baal

896
01:29:33,120 --> 01:29:38,320
the the knights of something they're the knights of something it's of blood knights knights of blood

897
01:29:38,320 --> 01:29:44,320
could be it too possibly they essentially wanted to die like a worthy death and there's there's a

898
01:29:44,320 --> 01:29:48,080
cool scene that where one of them is like because they've already been drinking blood and they've

899
01:29:48,080 --> 01:29:53,680
been like essentially disowned by the blood angels at this point um and like the imperium and they

900
01:29:53,680 --> 01:29:58,720
they were definitely renegades they were under no doubt at least yeah but they but one of them like

901
01:29:59,360 --> 01:30:03,360
they kind of do redeem themselves a little bit because they're not evil they just kind of fell

902
01:30:03,360 --> 01:30:09,120
to the curse too much and he literally looks he looks kabanda in the face and a kabana tries to

903
01:30:09,120 --> 01:30:15,920
tempt him and he literally shrugs it off so even at this point he's like no even now i still reject

904
01:30:15,920 --> 01:30:22,000
the corruption and but he does get crunked i like it's uh that scene from one of the aliens movies

905
01:30:22,000 --> 01:30:27,040
where they're all like huddled around the uh computer and it's got the machine gun ammo rounds

906
01:30:27,040 --> 01:30:32,800
like how what's left counting down is the oh yeah xenomorphs are throwing themselves against the

907
01:30:32,800 --> 01:30:37,840
automated turret and then it hits the zero and you have dante like well that's a chapter gone

908
01:30:38,720 --> 01:30:43,520
oh they know now it's our problem entire chapters literally get wiped out

909
01:30:43,520 --> 01:30:49,680
during the devastation of barlis it's horrendously like enormous as conflict um but before

910
01:30:49,680 --> 01:30:53,760
unfortunately from the fist and he's kind of kind of and the other librarians like a lot of them

911
01:30:53,760 --> 01:30:59,280
there are some out there still but this contingent they're out of it until they do dig themselves out

912
01:30:59,280 --> 01:31:05,840
of the rubble they emerge after the devastation of barlis ended and they find the indomiters fleet

913
01:31:05,840 --> 01:31:13,680
and robute gilliman has arrived the grand administrator is here and the uh situation

914
01:31:13,680 --> 01:31:20,240
changes the primaris have arrived all the chapters have been renewed essentially it's a new era

915
01:31:20,240 --> 01:31:25,040
and this is sort of a again like as a renewal for the blood angels and they survived the devastation

916
01:31:25,040 --> 01:31:31,600
of barl by like the skin of their teeth but they'd lost a lot of like so much was lost like

917
01:31:31,600 --> 01:31:36,880
historically and in terms of culture but you know they're still around essentially they lived

918
01:31:37,760 --> 01:31:44,640
post devastation of barl mephiston continues uh fighting but then he sort of comes across this

919
01:31:44,640 --> 01:31:51,360
psychic block in his mind like he struggles to use his his powers are still growing at this time

920
01:31:51,360 --> 01:31:57,680
but he felt like a massive psychic block on his mental power particularly and he starts to search

921
01:31:57,680 --> 01:32:03,200
for the source of this he believes something out there is doing this to him and he's begun to see

922
01:32:03,200 --> 01:32:07,920
ghosts people who have he has fought with over the centuries they start to haunt him he sees them

923
01:32:07,920 --> 01:32:12,560
they're all creepy and something is clearly not wrong so something's clearly wrong with him

924
01:32:13,440 --> 01:32:20,240
they eventually battle across the galaxy until they find a planet named morsus and morsus was

925
01:32:20,240 --> 01:32:29,200
now dominated by necrons the undead necron money two mummy boys are here uh i'm sure elise is

926
01:32:29,200 --> 01:32:34,560
probably enjoying this moment a lot because please gc that calls in necrons big win today

927
01:32:34,560 --> 01:32:40,400
all of his christmases have come at once we've got some funny on this one though um uh side note

928
01:32:40,400 --> 01:32:46,000
as well uh lucas anthros uh the pupil he goes off on his own journey to help find a way to save

929
01:32:46,000 --> 01:32:52,720
mephistons so he's not with the crew but raceless your bad boy and mephistons go down to morsus

930
01:32:52,720 --> 01:32:57,760
themselves to help uh they think the source of his psychic blindness is here and they also want to

931
01:32:57,760 --> 01:33:03,040
investigate because his world was previously an imperial one that supposedly was mentally recaptured

932
01:33:03,040 --> 01:33:09,040
in something called the revenant crusade but clearly they were destroyed by the necrons uh

933
01:33:09,040 --> 01:33:13,760
there's also small note there's an awesome scene in the beginning of this book where raceless is

934
01:33:13,760 --> 01:33:19,680
like they're on their ship and he goes into mephistons quarters and he just sees a flayed man

935
01:33:20,400 --> 01:33:26,560
like kneeling down and essentially all of mephistons skin is like in the air floating and

936
01:33:26,560 --> 01:33:33,840
it's turned into like a star chart and he's like and racers goes yo that's weird but he also goes

937
01:33:33,840 --> 01:33:38,080
like i get you're the chief librarian and all that you know you're powerful mephistons but even he's

938
01:33:38,080 --> 01:33:42,080
like oh i'm gonna like throw up because that's like that's disgusting he literally flays his

939
01:33:42,080 --> 01:33:48,080
own skin off himself and then disgustingly reassembles it back on um apparently it's all

940
01:33:48,080 --> 01:33:53,760
fine so i think initially thought it was like his armor but it just because he actually obviously

941
01:33:53,760 --> 01:33:58,800
his armor resembles like flayed um like muscle beneath but it's actually just mephiston he's just

942
01:33:58,800 --> 01:34:06,320
like a weirdly not blinking thing in the middle of the room horrifying and as they wait make this way

943
01:34:06,320 --> 01:34:13,200
down to morsus uh there's also another funny part about this planet uh there is a necron court held

944
01:34:13,200 --> 01:34:20,880
on morsus uh there's a slight problem with this necron court they're all insane well feron is

945
01:34:20,880 --> 01:34:26,960
actually he's woken up from the great sleep and he is not right he basically has the necrons

946
01:34:26,960 --> 01:34:32,720
but the warriors and doing mock battles like randomly shooting things in the desert that are

947
01:34:32,720 --> 01:34:38,400
not there he also like powers up this massive device that just keeps them really clean whereas

948
01:34:38,400 --> 01:34:43,920
it should be like awakening other things and like destroying you know like enemies thing like that

949
01:34:43,920 --> 01:34:50,240
he just uses it to essentially be like a power cleaner like a big hoover at least he's hygienic

950
01:34:51,120 --> 01:34:56,320
not that he's got like a nervous system or like viral infections can affect oh it's fine keep

951
01:34:56,320 --> 01:35:00,000
her armor nice and shiny priorities in the wrong direction essentially that um thing we talked

952
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:04,080
about in the necron episode where like the necrons don't like touching flesh like oh my god they're

953
01:35:04,080 --> 01:35:11,360
like they're like sick and um there's even a funny part where like he actually he starts talking to

954
01:35:11,360 --> 01:35:18,240
the corpse of an actual necron tear like somehow a preserved necron tear corpse is there and like

955
01:35:18,240 --> 01:35:23,120
he supposedly was his brother and he's like talking to it he's like like what what do you think ah

956
01:35:23,120 --> 01:35:28,160
interesting interesting and everyone's like oh god there's even a part like a visiting cryptic has

957
01:35:28,160 --> 01:35:34,400
come to the planets like do an investigation like a little kind of safari like oh i'm here to surf

958
01:35:34,400 --> 01:35:42,160
for technologies like oh this guy is not right so it's all kind of to be fair warhammer 40k has a

959
01:35:42,160 --> 01:35:47,520
lot of scenes where a brother is talking to a deceased brother that's like a recurring theme

960
01:35:47,520 --> 01:35:53,680
go horus and ferris manus's skull yeah that was that was horrific that moment it was like yuck

961
01:35:53,680 --> 01:35:59,520
when like a full grim brace he chucks his like dead brother's head in the floor then Horus is like

962
01:35:59,520 --> 01:36:03,680
says he has like forced down a throw up because like oh my god my brother he's like i get it we

963
01:36:03,680 --> 01:36:10,880
still hate him but like yuck um but especially yeah the the planet's like crazy uh something's

964
01:36:10,880 --> 01:36:16,000
wrong with the necron forces like even when the blood angels arrive there's a funny part where

965
01:36:16,000 --> 01:36:20,880
they're being attacked by the necrons immediately and the fiston goes wait a second let me think

966
01:36:20,880 --> 01:36:25,840
checks his like archive and then just basically goes in front of the forces and goes i declare a

967
01:36:25,840 --> 01:36:31,440
right to to parlay essentially like from um pirates of the caribbean he never remembers the black

968
01:36:31,440 --> 01:36:38,560
pearl movie um is like par par parlay and they sent to the necrons go crap he did say the word

969
01:36:38,560 --> 01:36:44,000
didn't he and then they have to like basically uphold like a ceasefire whilst they uh intrigue

970
01:36:44,000 --> 01:36:50,400
like a court summonings possibly that will happen so it's like oh gosh hilarious the miffissin and

971
01:36:50,400 --> 01:36:56,800
racers do make it down to morsus and in the kind of depths and minds they find the remnants of the

972
01:36:56,800 --> 01:37:03,440
imperial forces there they're like the generations like later of the people who were from morsus so

973
01:37:03,440 --> 01:37:10,240
that all they've known is like the necron uprising and they also find a force of people called the

974
01:37:10,240 --> 01:37:18,400
uh blister men and they are essentially ogrens that are been irradiated and they've kind of been

975
01:37:18,400 --> 01:37:22,160
blistered and they've kind of not been working with the humans for a while but they do been they've

976
01:37:22,160 --> 01:37:26,560
been like fighting the necrons like with mining tools so literally they get like a chain hammer

977
01:37:26,560 --> 01:37:30,640
or a chain um jackhammer sorry and they're literally like jack hammering the necrons

978
01:37:31,280 --> 01:37:37,120
whenever they see them and they do like sort of gather the imperial forces together and they meet

979
01:37:37,120 --> 01:37:44,640
in this like weirdly immaculately carved uh temple ground supposedly carved by the ogrens over the

980
01:37:44,640 --> 01:37:50,000
last like how many decades and it's like oh that's kind of weird like what a sentence that is

981
01:37:53,120 --> 01:37:57,120
yeah it's like weirdly immaculately done it's like really impressive there's even a the bit

982
01:37:57,120 --> 01:38:01,920
that's even weird is like there's a statue that looks like miffissin in the middle of it and

983
01:38:01,920 --> 01:38:06,880
they're like you're the savior the savior and then it starts to get weird here because

984
01:38:07,680 --> 01:38:12,320
miffissin is like this is clearly not me but it's like meant to be obviously a space marine or maybe

985
01:38:12,320 --> 01:38:17,600
even the emperor like they don't know what's going on and then the ghosts of like the dead which have

986
01:38:17,600 --> 01:38:22,000
been slowly over the story like he's been catching glimpses of them and then people have been like

987
01:38:22,000 --> 01:38:27,600
you're right it's like yeah i'm fine and they eventually swarm him here and they're essentially

988
01:38:27,600 --> 01:38:32,880
shouting him telling him all his sins like everything wrong he has done and he's actually

989
01:38:32,880 --> 01:38:38,320
retreats his psychic mind into like a mind palace and he's essentially losing it like he's

990
01:38:38,320 --> 01:38:44,240
he's realizing at this point now it's like miffissin he's losing like a lot of the memories

991
01:38:44,240 --> 01:38:49,200
of like what he's done as miffissin as well as calistarius he's kind of becoming like a

992
01:38:49,200 --> 01:38:53,680
monster in his own mind like he again you know there's a being that's just been fighting and

993
01:38:53,680 --> 01:39:00,080
fighting and he realizes like his memory's been failing and he doesn't know why the ghosts are so

994
01:39:00,080 --> 01:39:07,200
angry at him and this is where chad raceless my man comes in he joins miffissin in his like

995
01:39:07,200 --> 01:39:15,200
little uh mind palace area and he tells him you know what you need to do essentially is remember

996
01:39:15,200 --> 01:39:20,720
who you like you don't need to remember everything for you i can be your memory essentially but the

997
01:39:20,720 --> 01:39:25,840
only thing you need to remember is that your purpose is that you are the lord of death and

998
01:39:25,840 --> 01:39:30,960
you fight for humanity and he goes like oh yeah that's all i need to do like so even if he does

999
01:39:30,960 --> 01:39:35,760
end up becoming a monster and like you know what everyone says he is it doesn't matter because

1000
01:39:35,760 --> 01:39:41,520
as long as he keeps doing what his duty is if that's enough and he realized like miffissin

1001
01:39:42,080 --> 01:39:48,480
the ghosts were not like an outside force it was actually his own psyche producing them as a way of

1002
01:39:48,480 --> 01:39:56,240
like sort of to help remind him of like all the promises and things he has to um honor and he

1003
01:39:56,240 --> 01:40:02,560
eventually is like i am miffissin lord of death as or like i just need to basically be the best lord

1004
01:40:02,560 --> 01:40:07,760
of death there is as of embraces the ghost they kind of like hug him in a weird moment they all

1005
01:40:07,760 --> 01:40:11,840
like accept him like you well done you remembered your purpose because at this point he's been kind

1006
01:40:11,840 --> 01:40:17,760
of he's been so lost like following leads and quests and like fighting he's forgetting like the

1007
01:40:17,760 --> 01:40:23,760
overall purpose of what his power is meant to be because again he's like been blessed with the

1008
01:40:23,760 --> 01:40:28,800
power of like over the black rage and so he's forgetting that he needs to really use that for

1009
01:40:28,800 --> 01:40:34,320
humanity's betterment and so he declares that the revenant crusade that previously failed to

1010
01:40:35,280 --> 01:40:41,600
capture and save mortis will be reignited and all the ogrens and the humans like joined together

1011
01:40:41,600 --> 01:40:46,320
and they will basically they're going to take on the necrons even though at this point miffissin

1012
01:40:46,320 --> 01:40:49,920
had been like it's basically before this he'd been like oh it's a doom to mission why are they even

1013
01:40:49,920 --> 01:40:55,440
bothering and raceless at this point you know tells him they will come to conclusion like

1014
01:40:55,440 --> 01:40:59,360
they should just why not because even if they win or lose it's about fighting for the right thing

1015
01:41:00,000 --> 01:41:05,280
and they do take on the necrons the imperial guard actually do a really noble moment here

1016
01:41:05,280 --> 01:41:11,440
they kind of let themselves be like a sacrifice and like a distraction so they know they will die

1017
01:41:12,080 --> 01:41:16,400
and but again like the other people who live on the planet will live if the necrons get destroyed

1018
01:41:16,960 --> 01:41:20,960
and eventually miffissin does like he basically knows they die because he eventually sees their

1019
01:41:20,960 --> 01:41:27,040
ghosts he's like ah you know they're dead and I've watched over the necrons I'm sorry here Eli

1020
01:41:28,320 --> 01:41:37,360
the miffissin does blow up the necrons um there's a point here he does fight some of the

1021
01:41:37,360 --> 01:41:41,360
necrons as well that's Colin what's that thing you I think you said you knew something about

1022
01:41:41,360 --> 01:41:48,000
this earlier is about how they can indeed I believe it was one of the one over the necron lord

1023
01:41:48,000 --> 01:41:53,520
who says that though miffissin is undoubtedly powerful he's a he's a child compared to the

1024
01:41:53,520 --> 01:42:00,720
eldar sorcerers of old yeah so even miffissin now was like nothing compared to what the war in heaven

1025
01:42:00,720 --> 01:42:08,000
was which is bit mind a bit hard to imagine like it does like that's like how do I imagine that

1026
01:42:08,000 --> 01:42:13,360
just being a real thing but apparently yeah he's even as powerful as he is and he does end up

1027
01:42:13,360 --> 01:42:18,080
winning and beating them they're still like damn like you weren't nearly as good as the eldari

1028
01:42:18,640 --> 01:42:24,480
well you see this the way to imagine is look at the sun and then just turn it off which is also

1029
01:42:24,480 --> 01:42:29,680
pretty uh insulting you have the elder I mean poor miffissin as well because actually he's a very

1030
01:42:30,480 --> 01:42:33,920
as much like it's hard to explain like all his badassery he's actually really

1031
01:42:33,920 --> 01:42:39,200
intelligent in terms of like when he's not fighting he's constantly reading like books

1032
01:42:39,200 --> 01:42:43,760
and stuff like that he's essentially in his like comfortable robes like learning and learning and

1033
01:42:43,760 --> 01:42:50,880
learning because that's what a chief librarian has to be nerd and he doesn't I mean he do that

1034
01:42:50,880 --> 01:42:56,800
and then destroy your entire home world so like he's not a nerd yeah sure he can do that he is

1035
01:42:57,600 --> 01:43:04,560
like I was like nerd it's like we all like listen and read like lore books for our channels the

1036
01:43:04,560 --> 01:43:12,800
irony nor the hypocrisy is not lost on me but luckily uh he sort of eventually had to push

1037
01:43:12,800 --> 01:43:19,440
like further into the necron tomb like underneath and they find this device which is actually

1038
01:43:19,440 --> 01:43:24,880
which the original lord had been powering up like his necrons to keep them clean in his like craziness

1039
01:43:25,600 --> 01:43:29,920
and there was like a visiting cryptic who I briefly mentioned earlier unfortunately I can't

1040
01:43:29,920 --> 01:43:34,480
go too much into that but essentially him and Mephisson have a both a moment they both snuck

1041
01:43:34,480 --> 01:43:38,400
into the chamber and they go ah you know the spider-man meme where they both point at each

1042
01:43:38,400 --> 01:43:44,400
other it's kind of like a huh huh you you and they have like a small conversation where like

1043
01:43:44,400 --> 01:43:49,360
Mephisson is like bluffing he's like I know more about this than you and you're like oh really

1044
01:43:49,360 --> 01:43:56,240
he's like and he starts to say things like quite like obviously things that show off his intelligence

1045
01:43:56,240 --> 01:44:00,480
is like mathematical and you know things are physics things like that and eventually does start

1046
01:44:00,480 --> 01:44:05,920
to waffle a bit too long and then the cryptic goes he's starting to he's starting to sound less

1047
01:44:05,920 --> 01:44:11,840
intelligent now it's because Mephisson is trying to like work out what like how to operate the

1048
01:44:11,840 --> 01:44:17,520
device and he goes oh like he eventually does work it out and this is the weird part where like the

1049
01:44:17,520 --> 01:44:22,960
necron device only works when you use psychic power on it which is strange because the known

1050
01:44:22,960 --> 01:44:29,040
necron is a psycus obviously it was probably not even a necron device maybe originally it probably

1051
01:44:29,040 --> 01:44:36,080
wasn't an eldar one it's implied that and maybe even belong to the old ones maybe uh but Mephisson

1052
01:44:36,080 --> 01:44:41,120
just like a like a lactose intolerant man developing like every type of cheese it's like why are you

1053
01:44:41,120 --> 01:44:48,080
doing this this will be no benefit I yearn for what I can't have although come on I have not

1054
01:44:48,080 --> 01:44:53,280
noticed single lactose intolerant person to actually care about eating like cheese or ice cream

1055
01:44:53,280 --> 01:45:00,000
very true there's like um a weird funny scene where the necron lord does show up like catching

1056
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:05,040
Mephisson in this crypt tech like you know with their pants down and then he's brought like his

1057
01:45:05,040 --> 01:45:09,520
corpse brother with him being like I can't he's talking I can't believe they were here like they

1058
01:45:09,520 --> 01:45:14,880
invade our inner sanctum it's crazy and then it's but I haven't really mentioned too much but like

1059
01:45:14,880 --> 01:45:22,080
one of the consorts of the necron lord who was like kind of sycophish crap at this point and had

1060
01:45:22,080 --> 01:45:26,880
been like oh my god I hope this guy dies he's actually painted in red so it's implied like if

1061
01:45:26,880 --> 01:45:31,840
you watch our necron episode that she was one of the um people who would like would drag them to

1062
01:45:31,840 --> 01:45:37,360
like the bio furnace so she's actually one of those people so her arm was like painted in red

1063
01:45:37,360 --> 01:45:40,960
she just basically at this point in the book she'd been kind of they'd been like a side plot the

1064
01:45:40,960 --> 01:45:45,440
necron thing she had enough of this lore because she wasn't crazy she's like oh my god we can't

1065
01:45:45,440 --> 01:45:51,920
which we she's had enough and just ends up slicing the corpse in half which makes the necron lord go

1066
01:45:51,920 --> 01:45:59,040
oh my god how could you that's so awful and the necron essentially like under her control just

1067
01:45:59,040 --> 01:46:04,240
end up fighting and then Mephisson powers a device that the necron lord had been using to keep his

1068
01:46:04,240 --> 01:46:09,520
necrons clean and sends like a shockwave through them they all just blow up essentially in one big

1069
01:46:09,520 --> 01:46:14,240
go apart from the crypt tech apart from the visited crypt tech who just runs away being like

1070
01:46:14,800 --> 01:46:23,120
jesus christ what a mess um that was the events of morse's uh only two more books sorry no three more

1071
01:46:23,120 --> 01:46:29,440
books to go boys but where to go um the one is a bit more short luckily uh short off shortly after

1072
01:46:29,440 --> 01:46:35,920
the events of morse's uh Dante and Mephisson together would battle a demon prince of slanesh

1073
01:46:35,920 --> 01:46:43,040
uh kairis the perverse kind of can guess what he's like slash she's like slash it's like and also has

1074
01:46:43,040 --> 01:46:50,000
a storied history at the same time as uh uh what's his name kabanda those two are both oh yeah the

1075
01:46:50,000 --> 01:46:56,000
black rage uh the red first so yeah there they have a history i don't wonder how the meeting so

1076
01:46:56,000 --> 01:47:00,880
that went down the warp like we need you two to work together it's like how did what did korn

1077
01:47:00,880 --> 01:47:06,480
and orcel mesh convince them to pull that off or the entire horrors heresy is mostly that isn't it

1078
01:47:07,200 --> 01:47:11,040
i mean that's that's not stopped chaos from being at each other's stores before

1079
01:47:12,160 --> 01:47:16,800
they hate each other immediately when the opportunity is arrived they like go for it don't

1080
01:47:16,800 --> 01:47:24,400
they but uh yeah finally there's been enough ever chosens we'll have a fancy for people who are

1081
01:47:24,400 --> 01:47:31,200
uh not initiated um but at this point this has been a little bit after the events of morse's not

1082
01:47:31,200 --> 01:47:36,240
very long to be fair and as we mentioned earlier you keep thinking like you know you keep thinking

1083
01:47:36,240 --> 01:47:41,200
oh my god this guy is saying Mephisson's power is growing but i swear it hasn't had like a backfire

1084
01:47:41,200 --> 01:47:46,480
in a while it happens here it's finally gotten to the point where Mephisson cannot contain his

1085
01:47:46,480 --> 01:47:53,200
power any longer and as they're fighting uh kairis the perverse uh the black ray just essentially

1086
01:47:53,200 --> 01:48:01,760
fully envelops him in terms of like flooding out of him like he's a conduit for it and like black

1087
01:48:01,760 --> 01:48:08,800
flame and just roaring power flows around him it actually turns some of the primaris marines uh

1088
01:48:09,760 --> 01:48:16,640
into the black raid essentially so this is like a oh crap the bloodline cure is not is the bloodline

1089
01:48:16,640 --> 01:48:23,200
curse is not cured there's like a real like um harrowing moment and the demon what's the guy's

1090
01:48:23,200 --> 01:48:28,640
right so the well the black rage is like it's a it is their bloodline but that's like a psychic

1091
01:48:28,640 --> 01:48:32,240
curse right like theory the red curse you could theoretically get rid of if you had

1092
01:48:33,200 --> 01:48:38,960
were good enough at gene seed but the black rage is it's magic you can't yeah it's like

1093
01:48:38,960 --> 01:48:43,600
endemic and then but the black rage is it's all chaos's fault basically well yeah basically

1094
01:48:43,600 --> 01:48:49,040
chaos one of those is like a like an illness like that runs through your family the other is just

1095
01:48:49,040 --> 01:48:55,200
straight up like you aren't cursed by a witch or till till this point though when uh dante received

1096
01:48:55,200 --> 01:49:02,240
the primaris reinforcements they actually thought they yeah might be free of the curse and even like

1097
01:49:02,240 --> 01:49:10,000
some of the blood angels like um so even like the lamenters chapters like um gabriel sef's uh

1098
01:49:10,000 --> 01:49:15,600
uh flesh terrors he was like saying that they're not true blood angels they don't even have the

1099
01:49:15,600 --> 01:49:21,040
curse like what's wrong with them so at this point wrong with them well he thinks like it's

1100
01:49:21,040 --> 01:49:29,440
a divine curse yeah um so they were no primaris had ever suffered the red thirst of the black rage

1101
01:49:29,440 --> 01:49:35,440
until this point with mithycin's power going out of control so this is where dante kind of goes like

1102
01:49:35,440 --> 01:49:42,640
oh god like they're susceptible to it too and this is they do defeat the demon prince luckily

1103
01:49:42,640 --> 01:49:48,640
there when there's like this um floating ship you know sort of a old blood angel ship uh but

1104
01:49:49,440 --> 01:49:53,760
mithycin's like losing it and he's about to like essentially implode until dante just runs up to

1105
01:49:53,760 --> 01:49:58,800
him like knocks him out essentially the power is still flooding around him and then dante's like

1106
01:49:58,800 --> 01:50:03,200
raceless what the hell's going on he's like i'm sorry like his power has been growing for a long

1107
01:50:03,200 --> 01:50:11,680
time and mithycin's like in terms upon this like um this uh blood angel's like specific um

1108
01:50:12,400 --> 01:50:16,480
what's it called like a tomb slash blood tomb thing when they go like a sarcophagus

1109
01:50:16,480 --> 01:50:20,080
oh that's like blood sarcophagus that's what it's called when they yeah the one they use when they

1110
01:50:20,080 --> 01:50:28,320
transforms into blood angels and mithycin's power is so great that they place like so many psychic

1111
01:50:28,320 --> 01:50:35,680
wards on this blood sarcophagus to the point where it's actually impossible that anything could leak

1112
01:50:35,680 --> 01:50:40,880
out of it but his power is leaking out of it which is like the blood angels essentially like this is

1113
01:50:40,880 --> 01:50:51,440
not possible there's no hashtag leaky fist and leaky leaky fist um so but mithycin essentially

1114
01:50:51,440 --> 01:50:57,120
is dying like his body is not and it's like like black flame is like rippling all over it

1115
01:50:57,120 --> 01:51:03,760
and his soul is actually in the warp so he's kind of just in his own like place he's like in a weird

1116
01:51:05,120 --> 01:51:11,040
uh like middle ground place it's hard to explain um but they do kind of believe that this is the

1117
01:51:11,040 --> 01:51:18,080
end of it um from mithycin unfortunately until a contingent from mars and bellisarius call rock up

1118
01:51:18,080 --> 01:51:24,640
and they're agreeing to transform mithycin into a primaris you're probably thinking why do they

1119
01:51:24,640 --> 01:51:31,280
why do they choose mithycin was actually because they hadn't really done the rubicon primaris

1120
01:51:31,280 --> 01:51:38,240
transformation on any blood angel before and they even said like at this point uh only person who

1121
01:51:38,240 --> 01:51:44,480
had done it successfully really was mannys calgar good old ultramarines but even then some of the

1122
01:51:44,480 --> 01:51:49,120
ultramarines like most of the ultramarine lieutenants who went with calgar didn't actually

1123
01:51:49,120 --> 01:51:54,000
survive with him and i think even with a blood angel where it's like they're a bit more divergent

1124
01:51:54,000 --> 01:52:00,640
so the dante was just going can i do it please like no you're too important please let the other

1125
01:52:00,640 --> 01:52:09,920
one do it first please just dante's begging to get died so desperate and they do agree to transform

1126
01:52:09,920 --> 01:52:16,000
mithycin because they think why not maybe the primaris frame can hold his power longer and

1127
01:52:16,000 --> 01:52:21,040
mithycin's soul goes on like a weird vision quest so he ends up seeing like his previous life so he

1128
01:52:21,040 --> 01:52:27,200
sees like kai he sees calistarius and then he sees mithycin so it's like all of his life even meets

1129
01:52:27,200 --> 01:52:34,240
the soul of the um the sort of uh old man who had mentored him as when he was kai if you remember

1130
01:52:34,240 --> 01:52:40,480
that from like very early on in this um long ass video um because they're in like a pocket of the

1131
01:52:40,480 --> 01:52:45,920
warp which like not touched by chaos they're very few of them like ever in the warp so it's like a

1132
01:52:45,920 --> 01:52:53,360
kind of peaceful area but there's nothing really there and eventually this leads up to mithycin

1133
01:52:53,360 --> 01:52:58,800
finding this like blood soaked figure who offers him this choice and he looks above barl in the

1134
01:52:58,800 --> 01:53:05,360
warp and they see an angel of gold and an angel of black and they are battling and this figure

1135
01:53:05,360 --> 01:53:10,880
tells him like they're basically battling for the soul of the blood angels and it offers mithycin to

1136
01:53:10,880 --> 01:53:18,080
become the avatar of the black angel just as the sanguino is the avatar for the golden angels this

1137
01:53:18,080 --> 01:53:23,440
is kind of we did mention earlier like a little bit like oh the black rage is a little bit more

1138
01:53:23,440 --> 01:53:28,320
than just a curse it's like a as colin has said like it's like a psychic wound within reality

1139
01:53:28,320 --> 01:53:34,000
itself and it the interesting part it mentioned this in this book as well was that this battle

1140
01:53:34,000 --> 01:53:41,520
here like between the the different angels it will affect the area of barl in the past present and

1141
01:53:41,520 --> 01:53:47,120
future so it's implied that this like no matter what civilization will live on barl they'll

1142
01:53:47,120 --> 01:53:54,480
eventually like come to like these all idea like look like resembling angels and demons in some

1143
01:53:54,480 --> 01:53:59,600
sort of fight it's like a really weird thing even when humans die out essentially like all alien races

1144
01:53:59,600 --> 01:54:05,440
long before humanity won the world so they would eventually sort of embody this power because it's

1145
01:54:05,440 --> 01:54:12,320
literally span throughout all of time and mithycin is told that if he does accept this offer basically

1146
01:54:12,320 --> 01:54:17,040
it would damn him but it will he'll eventually become the black angel but it will save his

1147
01:54:17,040 --> 01:54:22,000
brothers for a time and by a bit more respite from the black rage and funny enough though he

1148
01:54:22,000 --> 01:54:27,120
actually refuses he initially says no like he just he says he's actually he's done enough

1149
01:54:27,120 --> 01:54:33,200
like he's really kind of like dante with like i've literally been fighting for centuries i've died

1150
01:54:33,200 --> 01:54:38,480
twice essentially you know i mean i've had a few times i survived the black rays like i'm just

1151
01:54:38,480 --> 01:54:44,080
like i don't i don't know if i can handle it anymore and it's actually revealed that when he

1152
01:54:44,080 --> 01:54:49,520
does refuse this figure reveals itself to be sanguineous and then this is like a moment where

1153
01:54:49,520 --> 01:54:54,800
he thinks he's failed like some kind of test but the sanguineous figure they're not even sure if

1154
01:54:54,800 --> 01:55:01,520
it is sanguineous truly but in a way it sort of forgives him and just kind of reiterates the

1155
01:55:02,560 --> 01:55:10,400
offer again and mithycin makes his choice back on baal the transformation is going on

1156
01:55:11,360 --> 01:55:15,920
but mithycin's body's been dead for quite a while which is a little bit funny because like racists

1157
01:55:15,920 --> 01:55:19,920
are basically playing telephone with mithycin's soul in the wall being like you there mate yeah

1158
01:55:19,920 --> 01:55:24,080
yeah yeah cool cool you there um so he's like talking to me once in a while but he's like

1159
01:55:24,080 --> 01:55:30,000
not heard from him in a while just dialing the wall the number you have dialed is not recognized

1160
01:55:30,000 --> 01:55:35,120
please try again later in a second oh for getting frustrated it's been quite so being quite

1161
01:55:35,120 --> 01:55:38,080
if i don't have like been watching it been like is he there like yeah yeah he's still around

1162
01:55:38,960 --> 01:55:42,080
my mate is coming i swear like you know you're going out as a group and then like

1163
01:55:45,520 --> 01:55:51,760
yeah five more minutes five more minutes um but this is a very cool scene here though where

1164
01:55:51,760 --> 01:55:58,320
the like racists venture goes he's he's coming back he's coming back and essentially mithycin

1165
01:55:58,320 --> 01:56:05,120
is rocketing from the warp like back into his own body but it's not just him he literally brings

1166
01:56:05,120 --> 01:56:13,680
three souls back into his body and his body just lifts up into the air and it's an incredibly like

1167
01:56:13,680 --> 01:56:19,680
violent turbulent um experiences like literally the air around them ripples like some of the blood

1168
01:56:19,680 --> 01:56:25,840
angels around them actually die from the power like around them like and they see behind him

1169
01:56:25,840 --> 01:56:31,120
a black angel spread its wings some of this one of the sanguinary god i think does actually get

1170
01:56:31,120 --> 01:56:36,960
killed by it which is quite like oh god but eventually the power they will think like we

1171
01:56:36,960 --> 01:56:42,320
should kill him now kill him now and then it does start to stabilize and then he sort of his

1172
01:56:42,320 --> 01:56:47,680
mithycin's boy like knits back together and it heals like in an instant and he basically lands

1173
01:56:47,680 --> 01:56:52,880
on his feet again and again like you say like i think astagrath the grim the high chaplain just

1174
01:56:52,880 --> 01:56:58,320
basically goes he's he's a demon like we should kill him straight away and that dante's like

1175
01:56:58,320 --> 01:57:03,840
wait a second let him cook like you know let him cook he's been given for a lot because obviously

1176
01:57:03,840 --> 01:57:08,560
mithycin's like basically been the poster child for primaris blood angels so they're trying to

1177
01:57:08,560 --> 01:57:17,040
see if it works and he sort of talks he has like a talk with uh mithycin they're actually both in

1178
01:57:17,040 --> 01:57:23,120
secret like it's a bit of private conversation they both mention seeing sanguinous in the war

1179
01:57:23,120 --> 01:57:28,800
it's an interesting part where they kind of go like dante asked him like was it really sanguinous

1180
01:57:28,800 --> 01:57:34,480
and then mithycin's like yes and no because sanguinous is dead like sanguinous is dead

1181
01:57:34,480 --> 01:57:41,200
but it may be could have been a sort of a manifestation of his soul an echo an echo

1182
01:57:41,200 --> 01:57:47,040
what he was it could have been something pretending to be him not the first time a mysterious thing

1183
01:57:47,760 --> 01:57:54,080
pretended to be sanguineous and made a deal with the blood angels yeah so it has they're not they

1184
01:57:54,080 --> 01:57:59,680
both do even funny enough that dante did promise to keep that but his own vision that he saw when

1185
01:57:59,680 --> 01:58:04,960
he almost died on the devs and the bar like to himself they kind of both tell each other about

1186
01:58:04,960 --> 01:58:10,000
their own experiences like seeing this sanguineous because it doesn't feel like the real thing

1187
01:58:10,000 --> 01:58:14,960
and it's a really like touching moment because they're both like like that's our gene father

1188
01:58:14,960 --> 01:58:21,280
but it's also we can't allow ourselves to believe it is truly because obviously he's sanguineous is

1189
01:58:21,280 --> 01:58:27,040
very much dead you know so it's not real yeah don't give us hope that kind of thing don't give us hope

1190
01:58:27,040 --> 01:58:33,040
but if it is uh but it is cool but it's like they're both in a way take like hope from it and they

1191
01:58:33,040 --> 01:58:37,120
both like find it's like because they've both been like so like they're both very clearly ready to

1192
01:58:37,120 --> 01:58:42,160
die which is like a i think we mentioned like the sort of tragedy the blood angels they're both very

1193
01:58:42,160 --> 01:58:46,960
much as much as you think like oh mephistene is like this he often appears to be like a cold and

1194
01:58:46,960 --> 01:58:53,040
uncaring thing he's actually just he is like a normal person mephistene is like he emerged

1195
01:58:53,040 --> 01:58:59,120
into the universe from hades hive not really having much to himself other than the memories

1196
01:58:59,120 --> 01:59:04,560
of someone else but he does obviously he basically does turn into his own person like he lived

1197
01:59:04,560 --> 01:59:11,360
longer as mephistene than he ever was kalistarius and sent uh sent an official warhammer image

1198
01:59:11,360 --> 01:59:18,720
related in the chat it's mephistene and the blood angels having thanksgiving dinner that's a good

1199
01:59:18,720 --> 01:59:23,760
one the vatarius is a cool sword as well it's got a little like hooks bit to the end um but yeah he's

1200
01:59:23,760 --> 01:59:28,080
sort of mephistene's been ready to die for a while funny enough which you wouldn't you wouldn't have

1201
01:59:28,080 --> 01:59:32,720
expected but obviously running with the blood angels because he doesn't he doesn't suffer the

1202
01:59:32,720 --> 01:59:38,160
black hurray like them he's not like he even says like in his own words the usual hunger and thirst

1203
01:59:38,160 --> 01:59:44,640
doesn't haunt me but he still obviously just had a lifetime of war so he's ready to go but um he's

1204
01:59:44,640 --> 01:59:49,920
they do find like a sort of renewal and particularly more mephistene he's very much like i'm ready to

1205
01:59:49,920 --> 01:59:54,640
get out there and they do like have a mini test where tanda like go do that mission he goes like

1206
01:59:54,640 --> 02:00:02,320
sure and then just annihilate some gene stealers sorry elo and then they have no happy ending by

1207
02:00:02,320 --> 02:00:08,560
design he can't whine over that all union with the star children okay there's a funny bit where

1208
02:00:08,560 --> 02:00:12,640
like he's talking to them and he says he basically says like i know you're about to say you're about

1209
02:00:12,640 --> 02:00:16,480
to give me this speech and say these things and they go like what how could you possibly know the

1210
02:00:16,480 --> 02:00:20,880
divines like because i've battled you before essentially you all say the same thing on different

1211
02:00:20,880 --> 02:00:25,360
worlds but never mind you wouldn't be able to understand or even reject what you think and

1212
02:00:25,360 --> 02:00:31,360
it just takes them out um but essentially mephistene is now primaris and he's reborn

1213
02:00:31,360 --> 02:00:35,600
now we're on to the very last book well done people for hanging in there there's quite a lot

1214
02:00:35,600 --> 02:00:40,160
but we're almost there i think when you when you were saying earlier when it was telling the guy

1215
02:00:40,160 --> 02:00:44,160
like i know it's rough but we're almost there he should he should have been telling like i know

1216
02:00:44,160 --> 02:00:51,600
it's rough but we still have three more books this is the last book though so this is uh mephistene

1217
02:00:51,600 --> 02:01:00,880
is primaris up and the trio of raceless yermaine chad who's but raceless also guarded mephistene

1218
02:01:00,880 --> 02:01:05,680
was he was like in his body was like in danger things like that again he looked after him the

1219
02:01:05,680 --> 02:01:10,240
entire time like and his greatest defender they even defended him against dante when he was like

1220
02:01:10,240 --> 02:01:13,600
what the hell's going on it's like don't you dare you know go near him things like that

1221
02:01:14,640 --> 02:01:21,040
and the trio have now set off to find the source of these clues that have been appearing over the

1222
02:01:21,040 --> 02:01:27,360
centuries it all starts on divinus prime from the back a little while ago with the um the sort of

1223
02:01:27,360 --> 02:01:33,920
the the world of bones and things like that and then the psychic trace on the relic there's

1224
02:01:34,640 --> 02:01:40,720
over the centuries mephistene has been collecting clues there's someone has been someone has been

1225
02:01:40,720 --> 02:01:45,360
manipulating him and the events it took him to morsus as well like he wasn't he was actually

1226
02:01:45,360 --> 02:01:51,280
directed to morsus by like some artifacts that lured him there so someone's clearly been playing

1227
02:01:51,280 --> 02:02:01,040
him for a long time doesn't know why and i also side note as well as the time of lucas anthros

1228
02:02:01,040 --> 02:02:06,320
since morsus when he was off on his own and i should briefly explain what happened to him

1229
02:02:07,120 --> 02:02:12,000
because it doesn't make sense if you if i don't he actually met with another chapter called the

1230
02:02:12,000 --> 02:02:18,400
sons of helios who they said they had found a way to sort of exist near the eye of terror and not be

1231
02:02:18,400 --> 02:02:23,840
corrupted and then they called it the sleepless mile i don't remember the exact charm i think it's

1232
02:02:23,840 --> 02:02:30,400
like we dream dreaming dreamed and they would like huddle around or like find a way to like in sort

1233
02:02:30,400 --> 02:02:34,640
of meditate and they would chant this and they called it like the sleepless mile where they put

1234
02:02:34,640 --> 02:02:40,160
themselves into a trance they sort of followed along this path up the like imperial palace in

1235
02:02:40,160 --> 02:02:46,560
their own mind and it sort of calmed them and actually lucas anthros actually fell to the black

1236
02:02:46,560 --> 02:02:52,960
rage when he was fighting alongside them but they all chanted together like we dream dreaming dreamed

1237
02:02:52,960 --> 02:02:58,880
like in like a way to bring and it brought him back from the black rage but and even when he

1238
02:02:58,880 --> 02:03:04,480
returned he's actually more powerful than ever been before but he didn't want to tell mephistons

1239
02:03:04,480 --> 02:03:11,280
something was something was clearly wrong with the way he had grown this power and even since i

1240
02:03:11,280 --> 02:03:16,960
haven't earned it oh but something something had been off with lucas anthros for a while and

1241
02:03:16,960 --> 02:03:21,760
obviously he's even though mephiston is his mentor like he doesn't something he's like that thing

1242
02:03:21,760 --> 02:03:25,040
like he doesn't you don't want to tell your parents something he doesn't want to tell mephiston

1243
02:03:25,040 --> 02:03:30,560
necessarily burden with him and he's trying to hide it from mephiston he does feel really guilty

1244
02:03:30,560 --> 02:03:37,760
about this but obviously in a way he's actually able to mentally trick mephistons like mephiston

1245
02:03:37,760 --> 02:03:43,440
tries to invade his mind and he actually holds him off which is usually not possible for a psycho of

1246
02:03:43,440 --> 02:03:51,040
any other level other than mephistons so mephiston kind of goes hmm and it was even weirder was like

1247
02:03:51,040 --> 02:03:57,200
when mephiston because his power is so great like he also kind of he also has a little bit of

1248
02:03:57,200 --> 02:04:02,160
prophetic vision things like that and he kind of sees events he's like always calm and in control

1249
02:04:02,160 --> 02:04:07,760
mephiston he does something he obviously literally unnerves people but anthros at times has said

1250
02:04:07,760 --> 02:04:12,000
stuff that has caught him off guard and he's like that's not i didn't expect you to say that

1251
02:04:12,560 --> 02:04:17,760
and there's so something has been obviously ticking mephiston off to something being wrong

1252
02:04:17,760 --> 02:04:25,200
they even go and visit the um crazy like corrupted xenos the one in the oxyviliaria one again then

1253
02:04:25,200 --> 02:04:31,760
they can get a little bit of torture they get a couple of fisty cuffs and they kind of do uh

1254
02:04:31,760 --> 02:04:37,360
interrogate it a little bit but they set off to find and put together these clues to find find

1255
02:04:37,360 --> 02:04:43,440
who's been at the heart of this grand conspiracy for centuries and but before they do set off

1256
02:04:43,440 --> 02:04:48,880
mephiston allays the worries of anthros and he gifts him an ancient bloody angel scepter as a

1257
02:04:48,880 --> 02:04:54,640
sort of gift and tells him you'll use this when the time is like necessary this is really important

1258
02:04:54,640 --> 02:04:58,640
to remember but essentially mephistons planting something you know he's saying even though

1259
02:04:58,640 --> 02:05:04,640
something's off with you anthros i still uh trust you and then here's a gift and as they set off

1260
02:05:04,640 --> 02:05:11,440
there's this really cool scene where they are exploring these uh craft world eldarie craft world

1261
02:05:11,440 --> 02:05:19,200
ruins um there's a weird bit as well here where i some of the primaris marines are accompanying them

1262
02:05:19,760 --> 02:05:23,760
they feel a little bit weird doing some blood angels magic in front of them because they're

1263
02:05:23,760 --> 02:05:30,800
like these primaris marines are not like initiated into blood angel ways that's like they use when

1264
02:05:30,800 --> 02:05:35,440
they use like certain blood ritual magic that's specific to the blood angels they're like these

1265
02:05:35,440 --> 02:05:40,560
rubes these are primaris marines they're a little bit they're like oh shit what the fuck is that

1266
02:05:40,560 --> 02:05:44,640
because obviously they're like you know i mean they're not they didn't they've been on tarot

1267
02:05:44,640 --> 02:05:48,560
this time so they don't know any of the culture from barl and what yeah so they're like oh this

1268
02:05:48,560 --> 02:05:54,400
isn't what i was expecting a little bit like oh that's a weird but eventually they get like

1269
02:05:54,400 --> 02:06:00,880
something starts to mess with them uh they start fighting like visions on this craft world and they

1270
02:06:00,880 --> 02:06:06,560
do realize they're being messed with some harlequins have turned up and they started messing with them

1271
02:06:07,040 --> 02:06:11,280
uh there's like this one specific harlequin it's like been taunting them as they explore these

1272
02:06:11,280 --> 02:06:16,080
ruins boom first adventures goes i've had enough of this and just like leaps at him like with his

1273
02:06:16,080 --> 02:06:22,080
psychic black wings and this man's like crunk him in place and um but he doesn't kill him and he

1274
02:06:22,080 --> 02:06:27,280
says we've come to make a deal essentially this is the part where earlier some when they've been

1275
02:06:27,280 --> 02:06:32,960
attacked by some eldaria the pilots who they were flying down with their heads get crunked

1276
02:06:33,680 --> 02:06:37,280
whilst they're flying the ship and this is where Mephisto shows off his

1277
02:06:37,280 --> 02:06:43,920
conno d'or like you know like jawad or time power and he um he as colin said earlier he literally

1278
02:06:43,920 --> 02:06:49,600
pauses time and sort of sits there for a moment and thinks about like he's like observing the

1279
02:06:49,600 --> 02:06:55,840
brain matter of the pilot one second has passed two seconds have passed he's kind of like watching

1280
02:06:55,840 --> 02:07:01,040
it he's going he's exploring his new power and he actually thinks i could probably reverse this and

1281
02:07:01,040 --> 02:07:05,520
like save them but then he also goes i probably that's not something i should do though because

1282
02:07:05,520 --> 02:07:11,120
that's just uh that's a misuse of my power which is funny enough after pausing time um so then he

1283
02:07:11,120 --> 02:07:16,080
lets that happen uh as he said earlier he's basically grabbed this like harlequin and been

1284
02:07:16,080 --> 02:07:22,640
like you you'll come with me come here boy and he eventually says to them listen i want to make a

1285
02:07:22,640 --> 02:07:28,640
deal i won't tell any of the imperial forces about the ruins of this craft war which clearly you're

1286
02:07:28,640 --> 02:07:35,760
protecting if you can get me across the um the great rift and the harlequin's like ah they they

1287
02:07:35,760 --> 02:07:41,680
hate him they even there's a part where he also invades the minds of the eldari ships and i think

1288
02:07:41,680 --> 02:07:48,160
that's colin knows some of the eldari ships are powered by um spirit stones and the infinity

1289
02:07:48,160 --> 02:07:53,040
they uh the infinity circuit runs through the heart of every eldar craft world except for biltan

1290
02:07:53,040 --> 02:07:57,040
because it kind of got shattered and don't worry about that one don't worry about that one and they

1291
02:07:57,040 --> 02:08:03,200
kind of like the like the ancient eldari um minds when they sense mephysons in there like hey get

1292
02:08:03,200 --> 02:08:08,800
out of it hey hey like they're like get off my lawns oh wait it's all touch touch it's a funny

1293
02:08:08,800 --> 02:08:15,680
go away it's quiet in here yeah they're like oh human disgusting and um let their dog off the

1294
02:08:15,680 --> 02:08:22,240
leash it's pissing into my infinity circuit it's um they do sort of make a deal with mephyson they

1295
02:08:22,240 --> 02:08:28,800
go fine we'll take you across like through the webway if you promise to keep your word so harlequin's

1296
02:08:28,800 --> 02:08:33,440
basically on their ship like guiding them through the webway for a bit and he's like so miffed he's

1297
02:08:33,440 --> 02:08:40,880
like you know i mean he's like i hate all of you but we made a deal he does anything he just ended

1298
02:08:40,880 --> 02:08:49,120
with glitter bombs filled with tannerite in his mailbox back on ball the mark robert experience

1299
02:08:49,120 --> 02:08:56,640
one style um and they sort of managed to get across the great rift which obviously is mostly

1300
02:08:56,640 --> 02:09:03,920
impossible at this time and this takes them to the jungle world of sabassas now sabassas is an

1301
02:09:03,920 --> 02:09:09,200
isolated planet it's not the same as what happened to divanus prime but essentially it's sort of

1302
02:09:09,200 --> 02:09:16,000
quite close to the great tear the great rift so it's been cut off for a long time sort of

1303
02:09:16,000 --> 02:09:21,920
quite a while now and they eventually arrived mephyson razeless anthros and they've relieved

1304
02:09:21,920 --> 02:09:27,280
the imperial forces on the world who are being attacked by a funny enough a zinchen cult uprising

1305
02:09:28,000 --> 02:09:33,600
mephyson saves this captain named federac and there's a really interesting scene between the

1306
02:09:33,600 --> 02:09:40,000
two where they are like having a conversation where federac has actually previously seen a

1307
02:09:40,000 --> 02:09:45,680
demon prince and when a human looks at something like that they're basically like walking dead at

1308
02:09:45,680 --> 02:09:50,800
that point there's no coming back from that they'll eventually go mad and mephyson says the only

1309
02:09:50,800 --> 02:09:57,760
reason you're not like a bubbling mule-ing mess essentially is because there's a painting inside

1310
02:09:57,760 --> 02:10:04,080
one like the halls of this area and it's a painting of the emperor and it's supposedly actually

1311
02:10:04,080 --> 02:10:09,440
painted during the time of the great crusade and mephyson says like the artist like he looks upon

1312
02:10:09,440 --> 02:10:14,000
it so the artist at the time was there when the emperor like started the great crusade and it

1313
02:10:14,000 --> 02:10:19,920
captures like the true kind of presence of the emperor within the painting and then you've got

1314
02:10:19,920 --> 02:10:24,160
and that imagery of the emperor has like saved federac's mind for a little bit but

1315
02:10:25,200 --> 02:10:29,280
mephyson does say like unfortunately you are like walking dead and you will die at some point but

1316
02:10:29,280 --> 02:10:33,680
i need your help and it's a weird moment where like you kind of go like oh yeah he's like

1317
02:10:33,680 --> 02:10:38,240
mephyson the scholar like half the time rather than just being because wallhammer is mostly like

1318
02:10:39,280 --> 02:10:45,120
like you know grimdark badass and then horrible tragedy so there's like that moment where it

1319
02:10:45,120 --> 02:10:50,080
shows a little bit of a different side to him and he's very like when he does speak he is very

1320
02:10:50,080 --> 02:10:56,400
intelligent so he's extremely well read and obviously pretty much has like a ridiculously

1321
02:10:56,400 --> 02:11:01,840
powerful mind which can basically basically like the sherlock holmes of the blood angels as well

1322
02:11:01,840 --> 02:11:08,080
at this point why not add it to the list of overpowered things and they need federac because

1323
02:11:08,080 --> 02:11:13,120
federac can lead them to a temple in the mountains which is where he originally saw the demon

1324
02:11:13,120 --> 02:11:20,000
they do funny enough mephyson leaves elusius anthros behind which much of the anthros is like

1325
02:11:20,720 --> 02:11:26,800
sort of complaining basically like no you there's a there's a reason for this and the blood angels

1326
02:11:26,800 --> 02:11:31,840
as they finally enter this like temple ground it's in this really weird like reflective

1327
02:11:32,800 --> 02:11:37,520
underground section where like it's hard to explain but they do enter this temple area

1328
02:11:37,520 --> 02:11:44,160
and they are eventually ambushed by rubric marines and a greater demon of zeech which looks like a

1329
02:11:44,160 --> 02:11:50,800
floating bird mask with a cloak funny enough he looks quite small so i find it bizarre this is

1330
02:11:50,800 --> 02:11:57,680
like a greater demon but it's like okay fine fun enough but um it's zeech he's he's uh he's not the

1331
02:11:57,680 --> 02:12:03,360
one all about power yeah but the so the good old rubric marines burst out and they attack him in

1332
02:12:03,360 --> 02:12:08,160
they attack him in this temple at the center of this temple grounds where there's ritual stone

1333
02:12:08,160 --> 02:12:13,280
and it starts to burn and then they realize like something like a ritual is being set off

1334
02:12:13,280 --> 02:12:18,480
and arcing fire is like spewing out from it mephyson just lunges forward and literally

1335
02:12:18,480 --> 02:12:23,600
just smothers it with his body using it as like sort of a way to absorb the heat from it so like

1336
02:12:23,600 --> 02:12:30,480
his body and armor can take it and then this is really bizarre this part then mephyson splits

1337
02:12:30,480 --> 02:12:37,520
himself into three he sends his mind into raceless to coordinate the battle between the blood angels

1338
02:12:37,520 --> 02:12:42,480
and the rubric marines he uses body to like hold on to the stone like absorb the heat

1339
02:12:43,120 --> 02:12:49,760
and then he sends his soul into the warp to chase the demon down so essentially he literally just

1340
02:12:49,760 --> 02:12:55,280
splits himself apart and getting all doctor strange all of a sudden yes it's a pretty

1341
02:12:55,280 --> 02:12:59,520
is a i mean it's very impressive but like very bizarre moment but then it gets even weirder

1342
02:12:59,520 --> 02:13:05,520
because mephyson's soul as i should mention earlier by the way is often described like three souls

1343
02:13:05,520 --> 02:13:10,080
where it's like implied there's one that's calistarius one that's mephyson there's one

1344
02:13:10,080 --> 02:13:17,040
that's like the avatar of the black angel so he's like coalescing to this weird being

1345
02:13:18,080 --> 02:13:24,480
and when mephyson appears in the warp he wakes up with like no memory of what's like who he is or

1346
02:13:24,480 --> 02:13:31,360
like who he is or what's happening but he appears like a burnt flayed man and essentially he's like

1347
02:13:31,360 --> 02:13:36,800
like raw flayed muscle and he's like all crackled and black and he basically looks like the

1348
02:13:36,800 --> 02:13:41,360
manifestation of the black rage but he's not like pissed off or angry but he does have fun enough

1349
02:13:41,360 --> 02:13:47,120
vitaros his sword is with him though the sword doesn't leave um for some reason like even this

1350
02:13:47,120 --> 02:13:51,360
is weird like warp creature like that's like a doll he's like yo can i have that sword he's like

1351
02:13:51,360 --> 02:13:56,320
nah it's mine i'm sure like i'm pretty sure that's mine and like some other creatures like try to

1352
02:13:56,320 --> 02:14:02,560
take it from him and he just like sprouts wings he's like get away from me he does a bill bow from

1353
02:14:06,240 --> 02:14:10,000
let me give this myth rule and then like give your childhood nightmares

1354
02:14:12,400 --> 02:14:18,080
and then apologies after like oh my bad that was quite unruly quite rude of me like really

1355
02:14:18,080 --> 02:14:22,080
did that scare anyone else by when they were younger when they first saw that i saw one of

1356
02:14:22,080 --> 02:14:29,120
these for the first time two years ago so i was in the cinema when it first came out when was that

1357
02:14:29,120 --> 02:14:35,680
oh geez i'm so old i still haven't seen the other two movies they're good bro i've read the books

1358
02:14:35,680 --> 02:14:40,400
they're still good films though i know they're good movies and i know i'd like them i just haven't

1359
02:14:40,400 --> 02:14:44,240
seen them can you please put in the chat like colin needs to watch one of those like films those

1360
02:14:44,240 --> 02:14:49,840
one of those film series where it's just like they are pretty much i know i know the fellowship of

1361
02:14:49,840 --> 02:14:54,880
the ring is like a perfect example of like the structure of a film like you look at the screenplay

1362
02:14:54,880 --> 02:15:00,880
it is pitch perfect it's like first 10 pages it does the whole flashback with the war and blah

1363
02:15:00,880 --> 02:15:06,480
but yeah great films without going too into it fellows in the chat i i've got a better idea

1364
02:15:06,480 --> 02:15:13,200
take it get a compilation of every time i've said i haven't seen x movie or y tv show and then take

1365
02:15:13,200 --> 02:15:18,160
a shot every time i do so and then please inform us how quickly you're in the hospital

1366
02:15:20,080 --> 02:15:26,240
we do not support that and law crimes but it would be funny um just do that for legal purposes there

1367
02:15:27,040 --> 02:15:32,880
so of course the mephistene has since he's woken up without much memory of himself but he's like

1368
02:15:32,880 --> 02:15:39,680
the weird avatar of what his power is and he's the war by the way i don't i wish i'd written it down

1369
02:15:39,680 --> 02:15:46,080
the way they describe it because it literally sounds like some crazy artist like you're living

1370
02:15:46,080 --> 02:15:52,560
inside of like a moving painting it's like rippling with color and i've never seen it in other things

1371
02:15:52,560 --> 02:15:57,440
but they often describe the warp as like oh like a mix of weird rippling energy but this is like a

1372
02:15:57,440 --> 02:16:05,040
full-on like multicolored rainbow picture of like colliding color and shapes and ideas and concepts

1373
02:16:05,040 --> 02:16:11,200
it's so weird actually quite like a good um part of the book the book itself is a little bit confusing

1374
02:16:11,200 --> 02:16:18,480
in times but this is particularly like really um like visually it's such like a feast and it's so

1375
02:16:18,480 --> 02:16:23,920
good in terms of its description and he's also like travel through the warp he's also follow

1376
02:16:24,640 --> 02:16:29,520
other weird twisted monsters and creatures and other sorcerers because everyone seems to be

1377
02:16:29,520 --> 02:16:34,720
venturing towards this one place so like the kind of pace of the book is like really slowed down

1378
02:16:34,720 --> 02:16:39,520
here it's like going what the hell is going on and they realize like everything's heading towards

1379
02:16:39,520 --> 02:16:46,400
something called the city of light and this is prosperous this is long dead thousand suns

1380
02:16:46,400 --> 02:16:53,280
magnus the red home that's in the war and it is guarded by like zangos and things like that and

1381
02:16:53,280 --> 02:16:57,680
the reason that everyone is traveling towards the city of light supposedly like people have

1382
02:16:57,680 --> 02:17:03,280
been corrupted or like demons or just creatures the warp is because they're essentially recruiting

1383
02:17:03,280 --> 02:17:09,440
in the city of light because there's a plan for it to eventually emerge back into the real space and

1384
02:17:09,440 --> 02:17:18,240
basically ruins everyone's day because why not magnus you did nothing wrong um ever so uh

1385
02:17:19,120 --> 02:17:23,440
mephistons sort of joins this weird shambling horde it's like he just but he looked like one

1386
02:17:23,440 --> 02:17:27,760
of the other monsters there so he kind of like blends in even like talks to a few of them like

1387
02:17:27,760 --> 02:17:32,080
can i skip the line they're like i don't know bro like it's a pretty long line to go in

1388
02:17:32,080 --> 02:17:37,360
i got the movie theater have you got a wristband no i haven't got a wristband oh eventually mephizon

1389
02:17:37,360 --> 02:17:41,920
goes ah screw it and he just breaks his way in like attacks the guards just rushes up these like

1390
02:17:41,920 --> 02:17:48,320
crystal stairs and he does like sort of chase this he finds a demon again and starts to chase

1391
02:17:48,320 --> 02:17:53,200
it around prospero like they see like the ghosts of obviously the people who lived in prospero like

1392
02:17:53,200 --> 02:17:59,120
and obviously space walls and um like a thousand sons who have died there like there's echoes of

1393
02:17:59,120 --> 02:18:05,200
what the you know the wounds of the old burning of prospero and eventually chases this demon and

1394
02:18:05,760 --> 02:18:10,640
it finds him in this like tower area even follows like some other people there it's kind of bizarre

1395
02:18:11,200 --> 02:18:17,600
and then unfortunately this like demon mephizon or his soul gets trapped and he realizes that

1396
02:18:17,600 --> 02:18:24,800
it's been an ambush and the demon reveals himself to be uh zadkale he was essentially a servant of

1397
02:18:24,800 --> 02:18:29,600
i don't know if he was previously a thousand sun or not i can't remember but he's like a servant

1398
02:18:29,600 --> 02:18:37,120
of madness the red and uh he sort of tells us and how i've been behind so much of your

1399
02:18:37,920 --> 02:18:43,120
like your journey like since divinus like divinus prime i was the one who like architect that

1400
02:18:43,120 --> 02:18:47,840
morsus that was me you know i've been manipulating you for centuries because

1401
02:18:47,840 --> 02:18:54,560
i've needed you for something uh i've been basically nurturing you for my own purposes

1402
02:18:55,520 --> 02:19:02,160
and also side notes well at this time that mephizon is caught anthros who's gone off on his own

1403
02:19:02,800 --> 02:19:08,240
like he's he's seeing himself oh mephizon must have sent me off to do something i'm here to work

1404
02:19:08,240 --> 02:19:15,440
out something so he goes to one of the towers of the world i'll explain that in a little bit but

1405
02:19:15,440 --> 02:19:21,040
unfortunately essentially on anthros on his own journey he's also realized like oh his power that

1406
02:19:21,040 --> 02:19:27,440
we mentioned earlier that was a bit suspicious it was because the sleepless mile the power that he

1407
02:19:27,440 --> 02:19:32,400
been used like you know we dream dream dreaming something that he'd been doing in secret since

1408
02:19:33,200 --> 02:19:39,760
morsus and the sons of helios chapter taught him that it was actually a ritual designed by z so

1409
02:19:39,760 --> 02:19:44,480
he's actually been corrupting himself and he starts like sprout feathers and he's like turning

1410
02:19:44,480 --> 02:19:49,680
into a greater demon of z it's like oh and he realizes it's happening in me like in real time

1411
02:19:49,680 --> 02:19:56,640
and he's like feeling his body corrupt meanwhile zed kill has uh again he says like he's nurtured

1412
02:19:56,640 --> 02:20:04,080
mephizon he's been using him because he needs mephizon as a conduit to for a enormously powerful

1413
02:20:04,080 --> 02:20:12,640
ritual to bring prospero back into real space the mephizon is the basically the reason he's been

1414
02:20:12,640 --> 02:20:17,600
making mephizon for this catalyst yeah he's a catalyst he's like yeah not making mephizon but

1415
02:20:17,600 --> 02:20:22,720
he's mephizon would be the perfect catalyst as colin said just to bring him back and they reveal

1416
02:20:22,720 --> 02:20:27,760
that on the planet where one of the temples they've been fighting in like the blood angels and

1417
02:20:27,760 --> 02:20:34,080
raceless um is called uh one of the fingers sort of finger mountain there are actually nine fingers

1418
02:20:34,080 --> 02:20:39,200
or sorry multiple finger towers and they're called the the fingers such as the nickname of these

1419
02:20:39,200 --> 02:20:44,720
mountains and they're not actually mountains they're tap their silver towers of zinch that have been

1420
02:20:44,720 --> 02:20:50,080
grown over and they realize like it's almost like a hand and essentially mephizon is going to be

1421
02:20:50,080 --> 02:20:59,680
used as a conduit to um replace where prospero is like sort of as a um a switcheroo essentially

1422
02:20:59,680 --> 02:21:04,480
so they're going to replace where the fingers are and then switch prospero in its place land it on

1423
02:21:04,480 --> 02:21:10,880
top of sebastis and then prospero is back in real space and he needs to channel all that power

1424
02:21:10,880 --> 02:21:15,760
through mephizon eventually like you know burn him up whatever and zadkiel the little demon is

1425
02:21:15,760 --> 02:21:21,360
like laughing and he like enacts the plan like he takes a cut of mephizon's blood and then he like

1426
02:21:21,920 --> 02:21:26,960
you know the ritual begins and he starts the you know it's and it's all going off and he is so happy

1427
02:21:26,960 --> 02:21:33,760
he is so happy but something goes wrong like he's basically is like mephizon's like basically

1428
02:21:33,760 --> 02:21:38,720
explodes in front of him into light and he starts like water this way over to magnus the red to

1429
02:21:38,720 --> 02:21:44,320
tell him of his amazing power he's done he's looking around and going it doesn't look like

1430
02:21:44,320 --> 02:21:50,960
sebastis outside like something's a bit something hasn't gone quite right and this was because

1431
02:21:50,960 --> 02:22:02,240
as the ritual was taking place uh something so something went wrong and just a brief foray back

1432
02:22:02,240 --> 02:22:09,440
in time mephizon becoming a primaris was obviously very powerful we can stop time but it was actually

1433
02:22:09,440 --> 02:22:15,600
more powerful than we even realized and he was strong enough to see that lucius anthros had been

1434
02:22:15,600 --> 02:22:21,440
corrupted so he was powerful enough to detect the zinchen like corruption flowing within him even if

1435
02:22:21,440 --> 02:22:28,320
anthros wasn't willingly turning against him and he when he gave him that scepter earlier the scepter

1436
02:22:28,320 --> 02:22:36,400
was actually something to use at this very moment because he had foreseen that the uh like he was

1437
02:22:36,400 --> 02:22:42,560
being manipulated for a long time um he couldn't this is about i didn't quite like the ending of

1438
02:22:42,560 --> 02:22:47,200
this book as well because like it's one of those like haha i knew all the entire time it's very

1439
02:22:47,200 --> 02:22:53,600
jojo i knew in fact that you were going to do this i knew all along but you may have outsmarted me

1440
02:22:53,600 --> 02:22:59,760
but i have outsmarted your outsmarting with my harmon it's a little bit like that which i don't

1441
02:22:59,760 --> 02:23:07,920
i don't think is the best ending but it is still a representation of how far he's come and he saw

1442
02:23:07,920 --> 02:23:14,240
anthros would be used in some way so he gave him the scepter and he realized like anthros was part

1443
02:23:14,240 --> 02:23:21,120
of the ritual too and so with anthros's like last remaining moment of sanity he uses the scepter

1444
02:23:21,120 --> 02:23:29,600
itself to polarize the ritual so instead of sending um prospero basically where sabathas was it sends

1445
02:23:29,600 --> 02:23:39,200
the mountain slash towers of zheng back into the warp and so when so go ahead so now it's time for

1446
02:23:39,200 --> 02:23:46,160
what is the zelda game without is it awkward where the moon's crashing down oh majora's mask

1447
02:23:46,160 --> 02:23:51,120
majora's mask yeah now it's time for that but with nine of the damn things yeah so essentially

1448
02:23:51,120 --> 02:23:57,600
zadka like pops over to the court of magnus which does he really brief like fall right into that

1449
02:23:57,600 --> 02:24:02,000
it's like filled with like sorcerers on disks and like demons are hanging about and like thousand

1450
02:24:02,000 --> 02:24:07,680
sun sorcerers like sort of conversing was but wait magnus the red in this book is like a little bit

1451
02:24:07,680 --> 02:24:13,440
in it and he's like just randomly like at times like in his like demon throne would stand up and

1452
02:24:13,440 --> 02:24:19,680
just randomly espouse things so he's like he's fully mad so just to show you like what a demon

1453
02:24:19,680 --> 02:24:25,200
magnus is like and zadka goes like i did it the whole thing is like going right and he's like

1454
02:24:25,200 --> 02:24:30,000
man's like are you sure about that he was like are you sure about that you know pulling back the

1455
02:24:30,000 --> 02:24:36,720
thing like um john cena and because then zacko goes oh he sees like the towers of zin she's like oh

1456
02:24:36,720 --> 02:24:42,400
my god i've been how did i get tricked i've been planning this for literal literal centuries

1457
02:24:42,400 --> 02:24:47,920
and so like basically demon magnus like you're going to prison slash worse prison than you can

1458
02:24:47,920 --> 02:24:54,320
imagine and super hell basically super hell and it's revealed that mephiston actually did

1459
02:24:54,320 --> 02:25:00,640
trick the demon like he'd kind of been he'd not been passive for the last few centuries in

1460
02:25:00,640 --> 02:25:06,320
working out what was going on and you know him noticing what was wrong with raceless they did

1461
02:25:06,320 --> 02:25:11,600
find a way to polarize that ritual and then but it did obviously unfortunately it did save lucas

1462
02:25:11,600 --> 02:25:17,600
anthros but it cost him his life so it spared him from becoming a demon but so he used instead of

1463
02:25:17,600 --> 02:25:24,800
using mephiston in the ritual it basically ended up using lucas and when they revive so they arrive

1464
02:25:24,800 --> 02:25:32,720
back on barl uh raceless and mephiston are kind of like in his anthros's personal quarters kind

1465
02:25:32,720 --> 02:25:36,080
of going through like his collections because they've been they've been fighting with him for

1466
02:25:36,080 --> 02:25:42,160
a long time at this point and raceless is kind of he he always been like the grumpy like older

1467
02:25:42,160 --> 02:25:46,720
lebrae and like always been a bit disapproving for anthros for a long time because he always kind of

1468
02:25:46,720 --> 02:25:53,600
was a bit overprotective of mephiston and only very recently like even in this book he kind of

1469
02:25:56,240 --> 02:26:00,320
like and he's from the end of like the last book as well he kind of accepted anthros like you know

1470
02:26:00,320 --> 02:26:06,720
you're finally worthy and just when he was finally worthy he died so he's a bit he was obviously a

1471
02:26:06,720 --> 02:26:10,400
bit gutted and raceless even asked mephiston like if there was any way to like save him

1472
02:26:11,040 --> 02:26:16,080
and mephiston just goes but i did and actually the first time like raceless properly gets angry at

1473
02:26:16,080 --> 02:26:20,560
him because he kind of there's a bit where he raceless is now realizing like mephiston is

1474
02:26:20,560 --> 02:26:26,400
actually so powerful that he's kind of but you know how like a like he's almost like not seeing

1475
02:26:26,400 --> 02:26:31,120
them like ants but there's a bit more of a chasm between him caring about normal people

1476
02:26:31,120 --> 02:26:36,800
seeing them like the emperor sees people yeah he's a little bit he's not being ruthless like he did

1477
02:26:36,800 --> 02:26:42,800
save sebastis he did say the thing he stopped lucas turning into a demon but then it's kind of

1478
02:26:42,800 --> 02:26:47,680
he's a little bit he sounds almost heartless and at some points yeah he's not gone full iron hands

1479
02:26:47,680 --> 02:26:51,840
where it's like you are a number in the calculus it doesn't matter he's like ah i've still got

1480
02:26:51,840 --> 02:26:59,040
some humanity but it's all for the rubble yeah um so he's not cruel but again it's a little bit

1481
02:26:59,840 --> 02:27:04,160
oh you know like how the emperor is not intentionally malicious but

1482
02:27:05,200 --> 02:27:12,480
isn't there things he classes under necessity and it kind of ends with mephiston drawing like he's

1483
02:27:12,480 --> 02:27:16,880
been sketching like random things like throughout his like life and even in his booklet obviously

1484
02:27:16,880 --> 02:27:22,000
bloody and just like artists and they're very creative and he does sort of finally sketch like

1485
02:27:22,000 --> 02:27:28,240
a replica of the emperor's painting that he saw on sebastis and it kind of reminds he looks at in a

1486
02:27:28,240 --> 02:27:35,360
way where he takes a sort of a bit of hope from it too the way like um the captain did what his

1487
02:27:35,360 --> 02:27:41,040
name was it was it sabado or something like that he um the way that he took hope from it and he

1488
02:27:41,040 --> 02:27:46,720
kind of realized like yeah like he is doing a lot of like crazy stuff but he's like mythic and lord

1489
02:27:46,720 --> 02:27:53,360
of death servant of the emperor son of sanguineous like he is basically duty bound and he will as the

1490
02:27:53,360 --> 02:27:57,760
avatar of like the black angel essentially just do his best to keep going forward and

1491
02:27:58,560 --> 02:28:03,040
essentially fighting for the imperium until one day he does become the black angel so he's kind of

1492
02:28:03,040 --> 02:28:08,000
it's a bit of a funny moment like he kind of weirdly accepts like yeah i'm gonna like have

1493
02:28:08,000 --> 02:28:13,280
a horrible end but i'm just gonna keep doing like i'm gonna keep getting victories for the

1494
02:28:13,280 --> 02:28:18,560
imperium as much as i can and like defending worlds and things like that and he kind of

1495
02:28:19,120 --> 02:28:23,040
it ends in the moment where like he just walks away and then he's like ready to fight his next

1496
02:28:23,040 --> 02:28:28,800
journey that's kind of the end of miphiston's tale sorry boy that's a really long one uh there's

1497
02:28:28,800 --> 02:28:34,880
just so much to cover um is there any particular points you guys thought was like interesting or

1498
02:28:34,880 --> 02:28:40,480
was particularly weird because there's quite a few of them there was like um the divinus prime book

1499
02:28:40,480 --> 02:28:46,640
the one where they fight on like the bone world i thought was very cool and that was one of my

1500
02:28:46,640 --> 02:28:53,920
more favorite it's cool he certainly is you indeed he is sounds like there are a lot of really cool

1501
02:28:53,920 --> 02:29:00,800
set pieces and um miphistan's journeys oh yeah i i have a walk i'll go this way oh no you first

1502
02:29:00,800 --> 02:29:05,280
i'll say i did unfortunately funny enough as much as i've said i have skipped quite a few things

1503
02:29:05,280 --> 02:29:12,400
because the fight with kabanda in the warp as like there are other demons around is pretty amazing

1504
02:29:12,400 --> 02:29:17,600
um there's i did skip unfortunately quite a bit of the morsus book with the necrons there's like

1505
02:29:17,600 --> 02:29:24,880
some really crazy scene where like the necrons send scarabs at miphiston and essentially like

1506
02:29:24,880 --> 02:29:29,360
goes like some of the primaris marines get literally torn apart in front of him and he

1507
02:29:29,360 --> 02:29:34,240
just ignites vitara's and just start slashing as fast as he can to the point where literally

1508
02:29:34,240 --> 02:29:39,040
the scarabs like swarming around him in a bubble and he's literally just like yelling going ah

1509
02:29:39,040 --> 02:29:43,840
like kind of dragon ball z literally he's like kind of going to like super saiyan two to three

1510
02:29:43,840 --> 02:29:48,240
if you know what i mean like there's a really he's at one he's got to get to two now or no

1511
02:29:48,240 --> 02:29:52,640
literally two to three like he's literally yelling like that and oh oh i see what you mean now and

1512
02:29:52,640 --> 02:29:58,480
like vitara's is again just being the sturdiest boy ever and um he even fights like another

1513
02:29:58,480 --> 02:30:03,200
cryptek there as well one of them like poisons raceless and he like has to use like blood

1514
02:30:04,320 --> 02:30:09,360
magic things like draw out the poison from him it's quite cool um there is a cool part in

1515
02:30:10,320 --> 02:30:14,080
the last book called is called city of light which obviously is reference to prospero

1516
02:30:14,640 --> 02:30:19,280
which is the part where the warp is obviously uh quite good imagery i didn't i fortunately i

1517
02:30:19,280 --> 02:30:23,760
didn't do the craft world quite enough justice because they do walk through the ruins of this

1518
02:30:23,760 --> 02:30:30,480
long dead craft world it's not implied to me the famous ones of now it's like a war in heaven era

1519
02:30:30,480 --> 02:30:35,440
maybe possibly or later that one's like a really eerie scene and they see like there's lots of

1520
02:30:35,440 --> 02:30:40,080
fight like they're clearly being tricked by like something's wrong with just the general area of

1521
02:30:40,080 --> 02:30:45,680
it because obviously like ancient eldari souls have died here and things like that but um he

1522
02:30:45,680 --> 02:30:50,080
does he does do quite a lot and there's a lot of uh complexity to his character in terms of

1523
02:30:50,080 --> 02:30:54,400
of people think a lot more of him but the real him is just somewhat of a

1524
02:30:55,440 --> 02:31:01,840
more contemplative soul who wields obviously a great power and he's a very he is he is cool

1525
02:31:01,840 --> 02:31:05,760
he's obviously he's ridiculously overpowered that's not i'm pretty sure we all agree on that don't we

1526
02:31:05,760 --> 02:31:11,760
like he's ridiculously overpowered but he's always in a way where like it's not like oh and then he

1527
02:31:11,760 --> 02:31:17,840
completely um just completely crunked the enemy and then it was fine it was always in the way

1528
02:31:17,840 --> 02:31:22,240
he's always like had to outsmart his enemy which i always liked in the uh mephistin books was quite

1529
02:31:22,240 --> 02:31:28,560
good um yeah sorry does anyone have any like questions or like cool things perhaps he's done

1530
02:31:28,560 --> 02:31:34,960
or any thoughts um i would like to again give a brief mention to his appearance in angels death

1531
02:31:34,960 --> 02:31:40,800
just because it's it's like a nice cameo from him where kzarian's just about to be shipped off to

1532
02:31:40,800 --> 02:31:45,120
the death watch and he's praying in front of the angel of sanguineous and then he's like oh please

1533
02:31:45,120 --> 02:31:48,720
give me the strength and then mephistin just appears he's like what are you doing here and

1534
02:31:48,720 --> 02:31:54,960
he's like um i i'm i'm i'm i'm just he's like you're a liar he's like oh i'm not sure if i have

1535
02:31:54,960 --> 02:31:59,920
the strength to to to last the curse and he's like i don't know what to do and mephistin just goes

1536
02:32:00,560 --> 02:32:06,400
there's nothing you can do and then he gives him the blood and when the camera's panning around

1537
02:32:06,400 --> 02:32:11,200
kzarian he just keeps like disappearing and reappearing in different spots in the room

1538
02:32:11,200 --> 02:32:16,480
without seemingly moving and you're like oh that's creepy and he's got like this you know this this

1539
02:32:16,480 --> 02:32:21,360
veil of shadows over his face and he's got these glaring red eyes and uh you know i just i just

1540
02:32:21,360 --> 02:32:25,920
think like i think especially because um seeing him in a visual form like that rather than just

1541
02:32:25,920 --> 02:32:30,560
the artworks which is static a lot of the time it was just seeing how imposing and

1542
02:32:31,360 --> 02:32:36,720
vampiric and and otherworldly he was in the in that scene which i thought was really cool

1543
02:32:36,720 --> 02:32:44,800
what are you calling i uh i would like to say you've done an a fantastic job uh andy with the

1544
02:32:44,800 --> 02:32:51,440
beginning and you uh with the expert uh to the point that i was almost ready to give mephiston

1545
02:32:52,240 --> 02:32:58,960
uh the highest honor i can give a space marine character which is i like you six out of ten

1546
02:32:58,960 --> 02:33:06,480
uh unfortunately uh the ending kind of tripped the ball a bit not you uh but the ending of the

1547
02:33:06,480 --> 02:33:14,000
last book it's not not not not for the outsmarting reason because it would no because it was gw going

1548
02:33:14,000 --> 02:33:19,760
hey you know this cool big jury this guy's been on okay s did it it's okay us thanks for coming

1549
02:33:19,760 --> 02:33:26,560
everyone it's a little bit of a it's not his last when it won't be his last book it's just the last

1550
02:33:26,560 --> 02:33:34,960
of the uh initial trilogy by i think the author yeah i just i just don't like when they always

1551
02:33:34,960 --> 02:33:40,880
fall back on yeah chaos is behind everything do you reckon he's really got much place to go it

1552
02:33:40,880 --> 02:33:48,800
seems like he's had quite a good arc i think there is more to explore in terms of um like he had not

1553
02:33:48,800 --> 02:33:54,160
necessarily on the rage side of it but more is in i think his interaction with the rest of the chapter

1554
02:33:54,160 --> 02:34:00,000
because it's kind of like his solo journey is done but what i said like also his black rage stuff is

1555
02:34:00,000 --> 02:34:07,520
mostly like entirely separate it's just after he became mephiston the demon sad kill started to

1556
02:34:07,520 --> 02:34:12,320
mess with him because like ah mephiston that guy seems powerful i bet i could use that to my

1557
02:34:12,320 --> 02:34:18,240
advantage so the the black rage stuff is all um him like he him conquering it and all that stuff

1558
02:34:18,240 --> 02:34:29,360
is not the manipulation i don't know if i maybe implied that do you think if mephiston like was

1559
02:34:29,360 --> 02:34:37,520
from this point onward largely only relegated to major like codex events do you think you would be

1560
02:34:37,520 --> 02:34:43,600
satisfied or do you think he needs more i'm curious i don't think he needs more character

1561
02:34:43,600 --> 02:34:49,840
development in terms of um it's kind of like his character development has got to a good point

1562
02:34:49,840 --> 02:34:56,880
i think it's just they need to do something with like that needs to then be done with the chapter

1563
02:34:56,880 --> 02:35:02,240
in terms of like this is all separate from the chapter as much as him in like a few blood angels

1564
02:35:02,880 --> 02:35:08,080
i guess it's the mephiston show i guess to reword the question a bit do you think

1565
02:35:08,080 --> 02:35:13,600
he needs more books for that or do you think if he were to be like i say relegated like it's a

1566
02:35:13,600 --> 02:35:19,120
like it's a dishonor to be front center in a codex but if you were to be like put aside to be like

1567
02:35:19,120 --> 02:35:24,240
mostly just in codex as and maybe a couple appearances it's like a kind like an angel to

1568
02:35:24,240 --> 02:35:28,080
the death cameo like in books do you think that would be all right or do you think he needs more

1569
02:35:28,080 --> 02:35:33,600
books oh it doesn't need him front and center there's no no there's no need for more books

1570
02:35:33,600 --> 02:35:41,360
but i think there must inevitably be the inevitably be the arriman versus mephiston if they don't do

1571
02:35:41,360 --> 02:35:48,880
that one day at least i'd be so upset and also i just think there's opportunities yeah i'd do that

1572
02:35:48,880 --> 02:35:53,280
i don't know because honestly the authors might have something more they want to say i just think

1573
02:35:53,280 --> 02:36:00,960
the author darrius higgs who wrote the trilogy of mephiston specifically i think he's like put in a

1574
02:36:00,960 --> 02:36:05,840
good spot where like mephiston's at a good point obviously there's more trials and tribulations you

1575
02:36:05,840 --> 02:36:10,880
know good old uriel ventris has had six books and he's still he's still going through stuff so

1576
02:36:11,760 --> 02:36:19,280
um i don't i i can't save what i can't i just can't i feel as well as as a space marine enjoyer

1577
02:36:19,280 --> 02:36:24,080
there's a lot of fans who are like crying out for other characters in different factions to get more

1578
02:36:24,080 --> 02:36:29,600
spotlight i feel like the more the more books we have of a mephiston or a uriel ventris the more

1579
02:36:29,600 --> 02:36:34,960
those fans are like can we please have some iron hands law or some like white scars or something

1580
02:36:34,960 --> 02:36:41,840
that's like that needs some like desperate new stuff to keep up to date i don't think crossovers

1581
02:36:41,840 --> 02:36:46,960
is a good uh opportunity for him because again he should be mental mephiston rather than no i mean

1582
02:36:46,960 --> 02:36:51,440
just like yeah like put put him on the back on the bench for now let the other factions have their

1583
02:36:51,440 --> 02:36:56,320
time and then hopefully when when the setting progresses a bit more we can bring him back for

1584
02:36:56,320 --> 02:37:02,320
another outing we can we have a krieg book that isn't wrecks so we can get something about them

1585
02:37:02,320 --> 02:37:08,800
that isn't shovel memes please i beg of you i beg of you tw what about you would you uh what would

1586
02:37:08,800 --> 02:37:16,400
you say i like him mephiston's cool even if he hurt my boys the jeans dealers and my boys the necrons

1587
02:37:16,960 --> 02:37:24,320
and my boys the eldar a lot of else today eldar it's okay the harlequins i guess he didn't really

1588
02:37:24,320 --> 02:37:30,720
fight them though he just trolled them just a prank i do think we should do a cal or drego versus

1589
02:37:30,720 --> 02:37:38,080
mephiston versus episode that'd be fun that'd be very fun oh there's your cal or drego versus

1590
02:37:38,080 --> 02:37:45,760
the warp at the same time i already know who wins yeah for real cal or drego versus the doom slayer

1591
02:37:45,760 --> 02:37:50,080
all right well i think i think we know who wins that one in the other direction people being

1592
02:37:50,080 --> 02:37:55,360
gagging for the um arryman versus mephiston just because it's the two most powerful cycles in the

1593
02:37:55,360 --> 02:38:01,200
setting so that'll be a interesting time just because i think technically mephiston is more

1594
02:38:01,200 --> 02:38:06,880
powerful than arryman just because uh arrym mephiston's power is like he's got something

1595
02:38:06,880 --> 02:38:12,160
more powerful you know basically powering him up but maybe arryman's a better sorcerer in terms of

1596
02:38:12,160 --> 02:38:18,560
he could do more um but that's yeah the mephiston's cool there's a lot that goes on as we could tell

1597
02:38:18,560 --> 02:38:23,840
this has been a long episode of orgy boys but uh with that being said though i don't know what is

1598
02:38:23,840 --> 02:38:31,120
our next episode on boys did we already decide that one if i remember correctly i think well i

1599
02:38:31,120 --> 02:38:36,160
think it's up in the earth moment actually so if you want to make any suggestions for future episodes
