1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,160
There's like there's another episode of Hammer and Bolter where like the Death Guard corrupt an astropathic choir, so they spread a plague between choirs and it travels through the space and it's like what how does that work?

2
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:22,800
But it's like, is the human connection with it because it is entirely it is like a phone signal, but it's actually literally human string if you know what I mean, which sounds really creepy.

3
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:37,840
It's just weird in the Angels of Death one because again, they've got like this whole room of gene stealers and there's the patriarch and then the towers there and obviously the astropaths are still human, but they're being kind of enslaved on this tower.

4
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:46,640
And they're not very happy when they send the signal out being like come and destroy the world tyrannids. They're like, have it a good old shriek. Yeah, that doesn't look fun.

5
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:54,640
Love me star children. Whatever it is, it's probably horrendous and doesn't need to be as horrendous as it is.

6
00:00:54,640 --> 00:01:07,040
Someone most likely suffered just even even like making a nail or a screw. Well, that was the word from the apparent sponsor of this video, the Adeptus Astropathica.

7
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:17,680
Upgrade your cell phone to new astropath sim cards. Neither 5G towers alone.

8
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:53,480
Hello ladies and gentlemen and welcome back to law crimes. It's it's time for another beginner to expert podcast isn't it? It's going to be an interesting one today because we've covered a lot of space marine stuff recently and you know delved into a little bit of loyalists, a little bit of chaos.

9
00:01:53,480 --> 00:02:01,080
We've done a little bit of Xenos. We did the Necron's a little while back, but today we've got something a bit different in store.

10
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:10,080
A little bit more specific as well because today we're going to be covering the first Tyrannic war.

11
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:19,920
Hope you're hungry boys. Nom nom nom. Because I think with like tyrannids in particular, it's like how do you organize talking about them because there's like no like.

12
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:35,080
Personal characters with like other than I like eating things so you have to kind of and where they fit into the law around events. So I think this is a pretty good place to start. But before we get into that, it's time for the question of the week.

13
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:49,200
Alright, our question of the week was what makes you rage about Warhammer hashtag black rage and the first comment I have here is epic cool awesome Goblin guy re 6520 awesome name.

14
00:02:49,200 --> 00:03:02,160
Total War Warhammer turning my boy Throg from a smart man in Bracket's Troll to the average Manchester City football fan.

15
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:08,120
I don't watch football, but I like making fun of Europeans.

16
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:19,800
I walked around the soccer museum when I was there and I can assure you that from the amount of riots I saw in the historical of the of the feels like yeah, it sounds about right.

17
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:28,520
This was during Warhammer fest and you said like something along the lines of when you were in Manchester airport, you like I've never been in an airport like this before.

18
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:33,600
Yeah, it was so depressing. Everything was just metal gray.

19
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:39,120
It's like when you build a Minecraft home entirely out of iron blocks and cobblestone.

20
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:45,680
It's not based code baby United not city actions while you were there.

21
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:52,720
All right, there's a how are you putting my my breaks up my my my great blocks in the airport.

22
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,280
I have a treat that is dangerous in Detroit.

23
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:06,520
I did enjoy the excellence of the discussions. There was one gentleman next to me on the phone when I was checking the hotel that he was he was speaking Lovecraftian.

24
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:13,440
That was not like it was English, but like the words coming out of that man's mouth.

25
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:17,880
I could not tell you did he quote have the Innsmouth look.

26
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,840
Is that right? How? Yes.

27
00:04:20,840 --> 00:04:22,640
He had that fish eyes stare.

28
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,560
I don't know. You might have no chin.

29
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,360
Uninec.

30
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,080
All right.

31
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,880
Next question or next comment is from C pint.

32
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:43,440
He says I rage every day that the superior Skaven race has yet to tunnel through the warp into the 41st millennium to completely body the other factions.

33
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,720
Big true. Big true indeed.

34
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:53,160
We had a few years of couple of like a Skaven one like why they're not in 40 K. This is absolutely.

35
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:58,520
They were they used to be the hood and then the hood got turned into weird like.

36
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,200
I don't know what we're doing.

37
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:02,520
No, they're not even Megaman.

38
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:07,840
They're like people, but they've got scales and no necks.

39
00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:10,200
They're like torso people.

40
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:20,920
I'm going to brag that I literally have the only commissioned artwork of an actual fraud out there, which I did for a Dan Toc episode video for mine.

41
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,920
It's the only one of an actual I remember speaking to the artist and he's like, what do they look like?

42
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,840
And I went, hold on one second.

43
00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:30,280
I have an example. I'm screwed.

44
00:05:30,280 --> 00:05:33,680
Like this is this is the only image of a crude nowadays.

45
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,160
They used to be little space Skaven.

46
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:42,280
Oh, yeah, there's an old picture that used to be the only image there you can see.

47
00:05:42,280 --> 00:05:45,000
He's got it. He's got it.

48
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,080
Feels bad. No fuzzy guys anymore.

49
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:54,480
No fuzzy little rabbit. There's also Necron listed as unknown, which is very funny.

50
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:55,680
Include not told today.

51
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,480
Oh, you're a fraud. Oh, there he is right there.

52
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,160
Yeah, I see. He's literally Skaven. What the heck?

53
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:05,720
Yeah, they used to just be space Skaven, but then they got turned into what's this jellyfish guy?

54
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,520
Unknown. Fair.

55
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,280
That's one of the lost Primarchs.

56
00:06:12,280 --> 00:06:15,320
That's why they kicked him out. He was too gross to look at.

57
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:19,640
You don't have any bones. Get out.

58
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:24,640
Next comment is from the Commissar Stab Wound 1287.

59
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,040
Also a fun name. A great name.

60
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:32,640
He says, the worst thing about James Workshop is that even though they constantly betray me,

61
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:37,520
they've still somehow convinced me to shamelessly spend half of my paycheck on their plastic toys.

62
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,480
Very real and very true. I must agree.

63
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:48,920
My favorite part is that all the new models are the good models on tabletop, so therefore you have to keep buying it.

64
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,320
Classic. I bought more Lord of the Rings.

65
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:57,320
My favorite part is how they erase the firstborn from existence.

66
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:58,360
Makes me sad.

67
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:04,720
Forget the promise of technology and progress, except for what it involves us buying new models.

68
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:05,720
Yeah, for real.

69
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,400
And don't forget it.

70
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,640
It's only Primarchs.

71
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:16,720
Feels bad. OK, last comment is Roger Schaftley, 6976.

72
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:22,040
He says, Hal and Andy's breakfast heresy, eating canned beans on toast and blood sausage,

73
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,640
but acting like honey on English muffins is crazy.

74
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:26,440
Very based.

75
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,640
Now look here, right?

76
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,640
You can't have sugary sweet stuff first thing in the morning.

77
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:34,520
It's bad.

78
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:41,080
Don't make me get the American food starter pack out again.

79
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:46,120
Listen, OK, British food may taste like a ration pack.

80
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,320
But OK, first of all, no one eats blood sausage.

81
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,320
That's like a really rare thing.

82
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,760
No one actually has that in hotels.

83
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:58,440
Is he thinking of black pudding, whereas like, yeah, I mean, you get that in full English,

84
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,800
but like a lot of the time people are like, ew, and they just scrape it off their plate.

85
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,120
So like, I want the sausages.

86
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:04,560
What is this thing?

87
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,840
I mean, I would like a full English.

88
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:07,560
I ain't gonna lie.

89
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,680
Full English is a hangover cure.

90
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,840
That's what it's meant to be.

91
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,440
I could go up one of those.

92
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:14,760
Why is it called pudding?

93
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,960
This isn't pudding.

94
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:17,680
Right.

95
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:18,960
Made of blood.

96
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:20,880
Depends on the angle you see it.

97
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,520
Blood is pudding of life?

98
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:24,280
I guess.

99
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:25,080
This is meat.

100
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:25,600
Blood angel.

101
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,600
This is meat, not pudding.

102
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,920
It's congealed blood and stuff.

103
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:31,560
Lovely.

104
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:37,040
If someone told me I was going to get pudding and they flopped down a hamburger, I'd be upset.

105
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,120
I'd be angry.

106
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:45,840
I mean, to be fair, though, technically, I'm not British, so I can like slightly push myself

107
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,400
away from the aspersions that I don't know good food because I'm also from a place that

108
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:50,960
has French cuisine.

109
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:57,880
So I'm like, yeah, I guess Colin also agree that pudding has to be sweet, not breakfast.

110
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:02,560
But yeah, pudding is not a breakfast dessert, but that doesn't mean you can't have sweet

111
00:09:02,560 --> 00:09:03,760
stuff at breakfast.

112
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,600
We can't have breakfast for breakfast.

113
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:07,600
Okay, sure you can.

114
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,560
Listen, the breakfast debate should be safe.

115
00:09:09,560 --> 00:09:13,920
We're in a free country where you can have anything you want for breakfast.

116
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:14,760
We're all adults.

117
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:19,320
If I want to eat ice cream for breakfast and shit my brains out, then my God, I have that

118
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:23,280
power for the people who came for their Warhammer rip.

119
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,280
Anyways, we'll get back to the Warhammer.

120
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:33,200
With that being said, though, the next question of the week is you want to sabotage the hive

121
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:34,620
mind.

122
00:09:34,620 --> 00:09:36,360
What do you feed it?

123
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,560
Hashtag tummy ache.

124
00:09:38,560 --> 00:09:42,280
Of course, people, the funnier the answer, the better.

125
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,240
We particularly love the funny ones.

126
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:50,440
They actually warm our souls and okay, don't feel free to make it a safe answer.

127
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:51,440
Go wild.

128
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:52,440
Within reason.

129
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:58,320
I'm talking looking at you people's swear and some of the comments.

130
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:03,880
With that being said, though, we're going to hand over to Eli for the beginner section.

131
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:08,320
And also the British slander about British food feeding to the hive mind is a good idea.

132
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:09,320
Don't forget.

133
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:14,200
Feed them blood sausage.

134
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,520
And now we'll return to the broadcast.

135
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:17,520
Awesome.

136
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:23,720
But before we get into the beginner section here, I just want to have a little brief introduction

137
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,940
just for if you are possibly new to law crimes.

138
00:10:26,940 --> 00:10:28,840
This is the beginner to expert podcast.

139
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:33,640
So if you're completely new to Warhammer or you perhaps already.

140
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,440
Delicately involved with so much of the law, you know, like an expert.

141
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:40,760
Hopefully there's a few more details in this one that you maybe have missed or it's a nice

142
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,280
sort of exploration of things that you already know and love.

143
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:49,160
And obviously there's me how there's Andy, Colin and Eli and we'll be guiding you through

144
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,320
this journey and hope you all enjoy.

145
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:57,320
But with that being said, though, I do believe Eli will be helming us straight in to this

146
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:58,480
juicy topic.

147
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,160
Eli, are you ready?

148
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:01,700
I am ready, sir.

149
00:11:01,700 --> 00:11:02,700
Take it away.

150
00:11:02,700 --> 00:11:07,360
Yeah, I'll keep it short and sweet for the beginning section because this is not a ton

151
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:08,760
of lore to begin with.

152
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,780
And I don't want to take too much away from Colin.

153
00:11:10,780 --> 00:11:13,440
So here is an extremely brief summary.

154
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,720
This is the first tranic war, which was the first time the Tyranids were discovered by

155
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:17,720
human beings.

156
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:22,360
I don't know if they were discovered or fought by other species in the galaxy before this

157
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,840
might be the very first time at all.

158
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:25,840
Pretty sure it is.

159
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:26,840
It's high fleet behemoth.

160
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,320
They came into the eastern fringe and they were first found on the planet Tyran or at

161
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:34,640
least the aftermath of them was found because they absolutely obliterated the defenders

162
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:35,640
on Tyran.

163
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:40,600
So Inquisitor Kryptman found a dead and lifeless planet, which he then found a codex containing

164
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,840
the knowledge of the Tyranids.

165
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,480
And this kind of gave him the idea that maybe there's a big deal going on.

166
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:51,840
So he went to go tell the Ultramarines about it because it's on the fringes of Ultramar.

167
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:56,280
High fleet behemoth kept raging on through the galaxy, destroying every planet in their

168
00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:02,240
way until finally coming to McCragge where they were stopped for a time.

169
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:03,760
Spoilers, I guess.

170
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,800
And on McCragge they fought a glorious, incredible battle.

171
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:12,360
It was the most important battle in Ultramarines history or so the codex claims at least, I

172
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,000
think I would agree.

173
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:18,000
And the Ultramarines had to pull back all of their forces from around the galaxy, which

174
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,120
actually saved the Tau Empire.

175
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:21,840
So the Tyranids saved the Tau.

176
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:22,840
Keep that in mind.

177
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:24,280
My boy Farsight lived.

178
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:25,280
He did.

179
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:26,280
There was a...

180
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:27,280
It was fine, I guess.

181
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:28,280
He was battling Cato Sicarius.

182
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:29,280
So he managed to live.

183
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:37,320
He was about to win and then he got on the comms that you should not kill this guy because

184
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:38,760
we have to leave.

185
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,960
Don't take this next 10 seconds to kill the main character, please.

186
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:42,960
And then he did.

187
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,660
And it's a battle, so I'm not that mad.

188
00:12:45,660 --> 00:12:48,560
But the plot convenience certainly works there.

189
00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:53,680
And so all the Ultramarines come back to McCragge and they fight on the Battle of McCragge and

190
00:12:53,680 --> 00:12:54,680
it's pretty epic.

191
00:12:54,680 --> 00:12:55,680
And that's all I'm going to say.

192
00:12:55,680 --> 00:12:56,680
There's really...

193
00:12:56,680 --> 00:12:58,800
I don't want to get too much into details.

194
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,760
But Mr. Colin will do that.

195
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,480
And that's that.

196
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:08,120
So without further ado, Mr. Colin will tell us all about the first Tyranic War.

197
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:09,960
I would be happy to.

198
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:16,600
Now as a bit of a forwarding, actually I guess there's two things I wanted to quickly say.

199
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:21,480
One, this is of course not the beginner to expert necessarily on the Tyranids.

200
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:27,560
So in the future we'll probably go more in depth on the various bioforms and quote unquote

201
00:13:27,560 --> 00:13:29,400
special characters of the Tyranids.

202
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:35,400
But this is a beginner to expert of the first Tyranic War, not the second and third or indeed

203
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:39,120
the fourth one that is now happening in the lore, but just the first one.

204
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:43,920
Quite a trendy war that's going on right now.

205
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:51,280
And two is that while everyone remembers, thinks about it as just the Battle of McCragge

206
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:56,700
and then that's the end of the war, for a while it was actually just Inquisitor Krytmann's

207
00:13:56,700 --> 00:13:59,040
wild ride.

208
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:03,640
The Ultramarines are not as prominent as I think, well they're prominent in the end,

209
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,520
but throughout a decent chunk of it.

210
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:11,760
They were busy fighting the Tau funnily enough.

211
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:15,440
So with that little forewarning, the first Tyranic War.

212
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,120
The first Tyranic War is a card in Magic the Gathering.

213
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,320
You may put a creature from your hand onto the battlefield.

214
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,080
If it's mana cost contains X, it enters the battlefield.

215
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,000
Number of one, one, I don't know what that means.

216
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:31,280
On it equal to the number of lands you control and then you double it and then you sacrifice

217
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:32,280
it.

218
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,920
There's a Magic the Gathering card that's just the first Tyranic War.

219
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:36,400
I don't know how magic works.

220
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:40,880
Have you thrown entire war at someone?

221
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,480
It's an enchantment dash saga.

222
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,640
Someone knows what that means, listening.

223
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:52,220
It's like a thing that goes on throughout the game.

224
00:14:52,220 --> 00:14:57,640
As the saga enters and after your draw step add a lore counter, sacrifice after three,

225
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:01,480
see it progresses every turn and then you get rid of it.

226
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,120
I play magic.

227
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,200
I'm cool.

228
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:11,880
I will say quickly before we get in, I actually got into Warhammer when the box set, just

229
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,960
for people who are possibly new or they may not even remember, there was a proper box

230
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:20,280
set called the Battle of, I think it's Battle of Macragge isn't it?

231
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:26,400
And that was what they do obviously with many additional launches or big events.

232
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:30,760
It's like a bigger time to launch a set of minis like what's currently going now at the

233
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:36,560
time of recording with, oh my God, we've actually seen the box set at Warhammer Fest.

234
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:37,560
Was it called Leviathan?

235
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:38,560
Yeah, Leviathan.

236
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:42,400
That's a heretical.

237
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:47,440
So I remember seeing that as a kid and then the Battle of Macragge and there's that really

238
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:52,400
old, I say really old, there's some people listening who are like really old, really,

239
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:53,400
you know what I mean?

240
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:54,400
Like it's not old.

241
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:59,880
But the kind of old school cover art for the ultramarines, the guy has like the dual, I

242
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:00,880
think it is.

243
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:01,880
My name is Calgo.

244
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:02,880
Yeah, it's on that kind of-

245
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,440
It's a classic art piece.

246
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:12,000
Classic piece which was like properly, because GW had a time where they kind of were less

247
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:17,040
grimdark and then they've kind of at certain times it's more reserved, the grimdark art

248
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,480
style is more reserved for certain faction, more like chaos.

249
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,800
But I remember seeing that as a kid and thinking that's so cool.

250
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,480
I can't wait to get more into it.

251
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:27,480
Indeed.

252
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,880
Arnie is just channeling his inner Doomguy cover, just like yeah, I can do the thing

253
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,280
where I stand on a big pile and there's lots of alien stuff.

254
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:35,280
Bang.

255
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,280
He has a real will.

256
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:39,280
Indeed.

257
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaking of Hal going off, getting more into it.

258
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:50,240
I have a quote for you Hal, I only have one this episode because the bugs don't have a

259
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,080
lot of quotes and I flipped a coin.

260
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:53,080
Other than, other than-

261
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,080
What did I say?

262
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:57,080
Aggressive hissing.

263
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:58,080
Yeah.

264
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:02,120
And so with that great responsibility I flipped a coin and landed on heads.

265
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:03,760
There you go Hal.

266
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,720
Would you mind reading this introductory quote out for the class?

267
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:10,360
It's in the general sidebar that you and me tend to forget exists.

268
00:17:10,360 --> 00:17:14,520
Ah yes, my pain.

269
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:18,240
An alien threat has risen from beyond the abyss.

270
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:22,640
A swarm so vast that it blots out the stars.

271
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:29,800
This horror fights neither for power nor territory, but rather to feed a hunger so insatiable

272
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,960
it would eventually devour the entire galaxy.

273
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:34,960
Dun dun dun.

274
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:35,960
It doesn't say dun dun dun by any chance.

275
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,360
It's not safe, but it's an appropriate addition I would say.

276
00:17:39,360 --> 00:17:43,640
And there's a little tyrannid waving in the background like that's me just like in the

277
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:44,640
background.

278
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:45,640
Oh shy.

279
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:52,520
So that was Inquisitor Kripman on the tyrannids.

280
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:59,360
So an inquisitor is saying that this is perhaps the greatest threat the Imperium has to face.

281
00:17:59,360 --> 00:18:01,720
And in this case I might have to say I agree with him.

282
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:06,040
Tyrannids are quite the problem shall we say.

283
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,280
Perhaps we should exterminate us.

284
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,760
You can't exterminate us.

285
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:15,960
Do I can like inquisitors have like a nickname for like did you throw a cheeky exterminate

286
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:17,400
me or something like everyone?

287
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:23,520
Because at some point it must be so um like there's like a yeah like well I imagine that

288
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:28,800
it's obviously meant to be reserved in terms of lore wise like a big like the end of worlds.

289
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,600
How have you been these days inquisitor so and so?

290
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:34,640
Oh I've been a bit exterminate naughty if you know what I mean.

291
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:43,320
There you go.

292
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:44,640
Just a little bit of background.

293
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:50,080
This is the first time the tyrannids have been recorded so just a little bit of brief

294
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,480
background on how this came to be.

295
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,360
We go back to the Horus heresy.

296
00:18:54,360 --> 00:19:00,240
Shout out to Barabbas Dantiyak who detonated a device called the pharaohs so the nightlords

297
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:01,880
couldn't use it.

298
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:06,840
It was a mini astronomicon which is basically a beacon to guide through the warp and when

299
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:13,440
it uh when it went critical it made a big old flash both in reality and the immaterium

300
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:20,080
the warp and 10 000 years ago when this happened the hive mind of the tyrannids took notice

301
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,160
and shifted course over to the milky way.

302
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:28,400
It literally did that meme where it's like Horus heresy I sleep.

303
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,200
Pharaohs explodes I wake.

304
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:34,840
Just the eyes with the big pretty much yeah it was just eyes took it in and they changed

305
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:35,840
course.

306
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:43,360
They have actually been in the galaxy since at the latest m35 believe it or not.

307
00:19:43,360 --> 00:19:47,560
It's just they were never classified as such as tyrannids which is why the first tyrannic

308
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:54,980
war is uh the first tyrannic war and not here are the tyrannids again round two.

309
00:19:54,980 --> 00:19:59,440
There was one high fleet that was not known to be a high fleet high fleet or a boris which

310
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:06,240
was fought in m36 and in m35 uh high fleet tiamat was discovered but because of the nature

311
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:10,880
of that high fleet which we may get into later in a different episode uh the imperium thought

312
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:17,000
it was just the native uh particularly angry life forms of one planet in particular.

313
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,320
We know the real reason that they weren't called tyrannids is because they weren't near

314
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,600
the planet tyrant so they'd have rubbish names.

315
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:23,600
That's right.

316
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,920
Or they'd be called like oh it's the boriolis.

317
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,440
Oh they're near the boriolis, they're the boriolis.

318
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:33,440
Now that's not a good name.

319
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:41,500
But the initial beginning of the proper tyrannic wars is uh m41 year 742.

320
00:20:41,500 --> 00:20:46,880
So for some amount of time in the eastern fringes of the galaxy uh it was noted amongst

321
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:53,280
imperial officials that for whatever strange reason planets that were recorded as being

322
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:57,760
you know lush and verdant and having ample life on them uh when someone you know did

323
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:04,400
a flyby by them a second time they were dead and barren uh just gone from like you know

324
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:10,800
a nice jungle or forest world or what have you to dead completely dead rock no atmosphere

325
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:12,600
no nothing on it.

326
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:17,800
Uh even a great deal of the minerals on them had seemingly been mined out and the planet

327
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,320
was just a rock in space now.

328
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:26,840
So good old inquisitor phidus critman who's uh very important to tyrannid lore was sent

329
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:31,200
to that region of space to figure out what the hell is going on what's what's the problem

330
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:38,040
here and one of the planets was you know it's barren as the rest of them it was once the

331
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:42,080
ocean world of tyran prime.

332
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:48,400
It was a mechanicist little research outpost and all critman found of that outpost was

333
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:56,040
a single uh signal being uh that was broadcasting into space that was buried thousands of meters

334
00:21:56,040 --> 00:22:00,720
below the planet's surface and like a bore shaft like for mining or research in the core

335
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,000
or what what have you.

336
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:08,560
So he uh he finds this and figures this is as good as good as good elite as any it's

337
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:16,760
all i got so far beyond empty planets and it details the uh the fall of the planet tyran

338
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:24,840
as these kind of insect these bug-like aliens were in such great numbers they blotted out

339
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:31,440
the sky and devoured everyone in the mechanicist station and uh evidently the rest of the planet

340
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:37,720
itself because it was an ocean and suddenly there's no more ocean to be had.

341
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:43,680
And uh with this the tyranids as they are now known uh named in honor of the planet

342
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:49,840
tyran where the uh the beginning of you know proper knowledge of the threat happened uh

343
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:55,120
critman critman's off to figure out how am i going to deal with this what what exactly

344
00:22:55,120 --> 00:23:01,160
is going on uh oh uh the the guy who hit it has a name magos varnak uh shout out to magos

345
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:06,760
varnak for uh hiding that information beneath the surface and preventing the imperium from

346
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:08,520
being devoured all.

347
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:12,320
He was a very cool good work.

348
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:17,640
Apparently all that lives on him is some calories in a tyranid's stomach uh so and not many

349
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:21,320
because he was a magos like oh it's like a morsel.

350
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:26,120
They do eat metal so he could have been oh maybe uh not all metal like they don't eat

351
00:23:26,120 --> 00:23:32,240
living metal uh but who knows maybe whatever he was made out of had a high calorie count.

352
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,120
The machine is immortal even when it's in the tyranid's gullet.

353
00:23:35,120 --> 00:23:39,560
It's like what is this like uranium has a calorie count of like 65 million per gram

354
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:43,040
don't tell the gym bros.

355
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,680
We could solve world hunger so easily.

356
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:50,360
That's the real reason you can't eat uranium you'll get fat.

357
00:23:50,360 --> 00:23:51,360
That's the only reason.

358
00:23:51,360 --> 00:23:54,520
Everyone has to take a bite at once at the same time.

359
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,240
Just a lick just a little nibble it's fine.

360
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:03,400
But uh yeah magos varnak took a chance on just a hope that someone would find it and

361
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:08,360
luckily critman found it and now armed with just a little bit of knowledge about the tyranid

362
00:24:08,360 --> 00:24:12,520
threat namely that there's a lot of them and they're eating people.

363
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:18,040
He rushed back to imperial space proper to figure out the tyranid's next move.

364
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:22,280
He named this particular instance of the threat behemoth or behemoth.

365
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,920
I usually say behemoth but I call it behemoth when I'm talking about the high fleet.

366
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,140
I don't know why.

367
00:24:28,140 --> 00:24:33,840
But named it behemoth for a tradition that is a great threats are given the name of ancient

368
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:40,480
terran beasts which I don't think that tradition has ever been used once except with the tyranids.

369
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:44,880
It looks kind of like um hurricanes doesn't it like if they give the hurricane a mild

370
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,920
name people aren't as scared of it so they have to give them more scary ones.

371
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:53,920
Have you seen hurricane talula like yeah I'm not too bothered.

372
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:54,920
Jenny.

373
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:55,920
Jenny doesn't sound that intimidating.

374
00:24:55,920 --> 00:25:00,600
They did a hurricane antru and then uh ass nuerly or katrina.

375
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:04,160
Yeah it takes a whole new meaning.

376
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,400
That's my name.

377
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,720
Oh dear.

378
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:16,280
But hurricanes and uh named traditions that may or may not actually be used outside of

379
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:22,040
this instance aside the tyranids meanwhile as kirtman was doing his investigating uh continued

380
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:25,200
their path of destruction.

381
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:31,800
There's a there's a couple standout worlds they ate uh one was a oculus is what its name

382
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:36,480
was it was a massive biological research station that the mechanicus were using.

383
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:43,720
It wasn't actually imperial in origin interestingly enough it was captured by them in m 31.

384
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,700
So the immediate aftermath of the horus heresy they got this thing and for 9000 years they

385
00:25:47,700 --> 00:25:52,120
just uh it just kind of held on to it.

386
00:25:52,120 --> 00:25:57,600
Basically biological means this thing is made out of food uh and this station that had been

387
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:03,440
firmly in imperial control for 9000 years uh was devoured pretty quickly.

388
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,700
It was a buffet.

389
00:26:05,700 --> 00:26:10,240
The whole thing this time because it was a big research station and uh again all of it

390
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,760
organic in like nature on some level.

391
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:18,640
All of it made out of food so it went from a moon sized thing to nothing like there wasn't

392
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,920
even a world behind.

393
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:26,040
Just for something um if you're particularly new around warhammer or maybe you know it

394
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:30,680
already a little bit when the tyrannids devour a planet it's generally the actual like the

395
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:36,040
bug the chitinous monsters that you see they're usually one of like they're actually how do

396
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:40,120
you say it forerunners hey that reference and they're kind of like the forerunners of

397
00:26:40,120 --> 00:26:45,320
the hype or the actual devouring does come later when so basically there's a wave of

398
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:50,200
tyrannids that clean up any resistance and then kind of like massive tendrils like literally

399
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:56,280
poke through the planets and then they rip apart things like dock with them almost uh

400
00:26:56,280 --> 00:27:02,040
and absorb the nutrients and they make little like weird pools of acid essentially where

401
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:06,520
they just even the the previous tyrannids that have invaded like the actual monster

402
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:11,080
ones they literally just chuck themselves into the like bubbling pool but it's like

403
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:15,000
they make they make like stomachs essentially all over the planet and then they kind of

404
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:21,240
drain the most the life away like a kind of vein or a very good at recycling yeah and

405
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:27,080
that's that so the the actual devouring part usually comes after the war thing they usually

406
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:32,040
have completely annihilated a civilization in like a night or something and then they just go

407
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:37,400
yum yum dinner time yeah it does it does remind me of dead space again whereas like the necromorphs

408
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,920
they just get rid of all the living people and then they're like oh we'll move all the flesh

409
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:49,320
into a big thing and that's what we do yeah move the flesh because it is a it is kind of um it is

410
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:54,120
a it's a i don't know how to explain it but it is the tyrannid actual like monster things they're

411
00:27:54,120 --> 00:27:59,320
not really the tyrannids if you know i mean they're not the things that do the eating

412
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:03,000
they're not they're only a very small portion of it which is hard for the kind of grass the

413
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:07,320
actual portion is just a massive floating biomass tyrannids are basically the worker bees

414
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:13,160
yeah pretty much yeah but then imagine the hive is like the size of a planet and there's like only a

415
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:19,240
few bees and the bees have teeth and claws and it's really scary there's an infinite amount of

416
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:30,120
angry bees just outside of you hornets upon hornets nest but uh there uh there goes oculus

417
00:28:30,120 --> 00:28:35,800
thank you for existing to be eaten by the tyrannids up next the orc freebooters world of

418
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:41,080
jaga it's not just uh it's not just imperials getting uh getting the worst of it uh it was at

419
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:46,680
one point one of the largest threats to the imperium in the segmentum just for shipping

420
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:51,960
and trading because it was uh it was quite the quite the gathering of orcs they had great

421
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:56,600
battleships and uh orc battleships granted so held together with duct tape and spit

422
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:02,600
but it works enough to be a threat and then the tyrannids showed up and even though it was a very

423
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:08,280
destructive battle uh there were no orcs alive by the end of that so the high fleet is just continuing

424
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:14,440
onward going to grow and rather confounding critmen as he's trying to investigate this because if it

425
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:19,880
was just attacking imperial worlds it'd be like all right xeno's threat doesn't like humanity i can

426
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:25,560
work with this but now it's attacked the orcs so what's what's their end goal because again you

427
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:30,520
know we know what the tyrants are about because we're out of universe in universe this was the

428
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:37,720
imperium's first time actually documenting them properly so no one really was sure what the hell

429
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:44,520
the end goal of the tyrannids was uh as he's trying you know to figure out what's going on here he's

430
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:50,920
been ordering his astropath as a like the imperium uh the imperium phone network except the phone is

431
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:57,480
a living human being uh to contact the rest of the imperium and warn of what's coming uh the problem

432
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:03,560
is is uh another new discovery to be made is an effect of the tyranid hive mind the shadow in the

433
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:10,920
warp uh where the sheer psychic presence of the hive mind completely blocks off the ability to

434
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:16,280
communicate through the warp that's just there's so many bugs and it's such a powerful uh psychic

435
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:24,360
presence of the total hive mind you can't get through uh does other stuff uh it also makes

436
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:28,760
warp travel damn near impossible and it can even prevent psychic powers from being used

437
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:35,640
but the communications blackout is in this case the worst of it for cryptman's purposes

438
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:42,120
there is a nearby planet of phandros which could hold the key to getting some kind of message out

439
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:51,080
it was an astropastic astropathic booster station so it's like a it's like a cell phone tower you

440
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:56,200
can you get good reception there uh it's like 40k is equivalent of a 5g tower yeah it's like

441
00:30:56,200 --> 00:31:06,840
yeah 100 000 g is your astropath uh i think i just imagine that also good sir i think you could plug

442
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:11,720
him into it what what exactly do they do with it is just kind of described as them using it uh how

443
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:20,920
exactly feel free to uh i mean in i know in the uh warhammer tv show angels of death there's a

444
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:26,520
bit where the tyranids have like uh corrupted an astropathic quiet and they're kind of tied

445
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:31,640
to a mast of sorts and then when they're trying to send the signal out going yay we're going to

446
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:36,360
liberate the planet they're all like screaming they're still alive but they're like coupled to

447
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:43,080
the device so i'm not sure but maybe it's like a signal booster or something like that they're just

448
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:50,600
there is one in um one of the yaruk books the one on armageddon and the way they explain it is it

449
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:54,840
when they call it a choir it's because it's the room that they're in is kind of assembled like a

450
00:31:54,840 --> 00:32:02,360
choir when there's like a almost like a conductor in the middle who like the main um astropath slash

451
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:09,320
um who's navigator in a way and then sort of the rest of them act as like boosts it's kind of how

452
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:14,600
psychic power works in warhammer where sometimes just being around other psychers you connect with

453
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:20,360
them you can actually like sort of accentuate each other's powers and um particularly with the

454
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:25,880
astropathic ones they kind of use it as like a yeah when it's like an aftertower they don't need

455
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:31,800
the actual structure of the tower to be used but it doesn't really help the tower itself it's actually

456
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:36,440
the people who are assembled in this but they'll see they're very important and the way of the

457
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:41,800
grim dark universe works is they don't rely on ai so obviously that's why there's like obviously

458
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:46,440
having things like server you know basically everything's half human half machine at that

459
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:51,320
point and so they just use the ash that they're basically boosting choir of all these psychers in

460
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:57,160
this room to then but they basically kind of all collectively shout into the wall and they basically

461
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:04,760
go hey they're like listen oh oh oh oh what oh there we go there he is mom also a little mom

462
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:11,560
it's a bit alan alan is literally like their chipmunks but um they kind of it's difficult

463
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:17,400
as well in warhammer because it's so you're trying to basically send a signal it's like a bullet

464
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,920
trying to go through water where like eventually it will slow down and then things get in the way

465
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:27,080
of it so they kind of they're just like a very short weird message that only other um astropaths

466
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:31,000
can interpret it's really weird there's like there's another episode of hammer and boulder

467
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:37,560
where like the death guard corrupt an astropathic choir so they spread a plague between choirs and

468
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:42,920
it travels through the space and it's like what how does that work but it's like is the human

469
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:48,920
connection with it because it is entirely it is like a phone signal but it's actually literally

470
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:53,240
human string if you know what i mean which sounds really creepy but obviously it's a grim dark future

471
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:57,240
but um yeah it's kind of it's just weird in in the angels of death one because again they've got like

472
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:02,280
this whole room of gene stealers and there's the patriarch and then the towers there and obviously

473
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:07,320
the astropaths are still human but they're being kind of enslaved on this tower and they're not

474
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:11,800
very happy when they send the signal out being like come and destroy the world tyrannids they're like

475
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:16,920
have it a good old shriek and you're like yeah that doesn't look fun love me star children

476
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:23,640
whatever it is so it's probably horrendous and doesn't need to be as horrendous as it is

477
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:30,680
someone most likely suffered oh yeah even even like making a nail or a screw well that was the

478
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:37,240
word from the apparent sponsor of this video the adaptus astropathica upgrade your cell phone to

479
00:34:37,240 --> 00:34:45,000
new astropath sim cards neither 5g powers alone but uh yeah booster station planet of anthros

480
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:55,560
and sends out sends out big yell it too was uh still nonetheless blocked uh but it was also

481
00:34:55,560 --> 00:35:00,520
critman's best chance of getting anything out maybe he could jury rig something he's an inquisitor

482
00:35:01,240 --> 00:35:07,640
they tend to be smart fellows maybe he can figure something out uh so on the journey there

483
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:13,160
he's observing more and more worlds that much like the initial ones in the reports that

484
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:19,000
caused him to go out to begin with were also stripped clean of life and combine that with

485
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:24,280
previous evidence what he learned on tyrant and just observations he realized that the tyrannids

486
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:29,160
they have there is no like the grand strategic plan of the tyrannids is that they don't have one

487
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:34,680
there's no plan there's no ideological motivations they're just bulldozing through the galaxy to get

488
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:41,240
to the all you can eat buffet that is everyone inside of it uh the only quote unquote path you

489
00:35:41,240 --> 00:35:49,000
can track with the tyrannids is a formal line of all of the like lush like bio rich worlds that

490
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:54,920
are in front of them and uh that's probably where they're going to go because again there is no

491
00:35:54,920 --> 00:36:02,600
motivation there is just hunger for the tyrannids uh critman gets to thandros and uh to absolutely

492
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:08,760
no one's surprise it too has been devoured uh the defenses it had had completely run dry

493
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:15,960
uh but being even less defended than tyran uh it was promptly consumed and tyrannids left

494
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:21,240
moved on as they do they do not stay around to fortify or infest the planet if you've ever played

495
00:36:21,240 --> 00:36:26,120
stellaris there's the prether and scourge that's pretty heavily based on the tyrannids uh those

496
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:32,600
guys stick around to form a planet or to terraform a planet and use it to make new bioships tyrannids

497
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:38,520
don't do that cravers or cravers well cravers also don't do that cravers are also great

498
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:43,560
also part metal so they're they're weird they were designed to be cooler tyranids they are pretty

499
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:50,680
cool they're not unfallen though they can never be trees and scottish must trees scottish billions

500
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:59,720
must root uh but yeah they get to they get to thandros and uh critman is in a bit of a bit of

501
00:36:59,720 --> 00:37:04,520
a pickle now but there is a bit of a bright spot because the whatever equipment that isn't just

502
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:09,960
more screaming psychers has largely left untouched by the tyrannids uh it not being food and therefore

503
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:17,240
of complete uninterested them uh meanwhile the uh the high fleet is a behemoth is getting up to some

504
00:37:17,240 --> 00:37:24,280
more hijinks uh some tendrils of it uh passed by solemnness where if you uh know a bit about that

505
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:31,480
the home planet of trays in the infinite at his galactic museum my beloved the the best the best

506
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:37,320
guy uh they uh they pass by looking for food as they do again they're not hunting anything

507
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:45,480
beyond like specific beyond food as a as a concept so they they pass by and they registered the threat

508
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:51,560
that is the necrons and the complete lack of any biomass they would gain from it aside for maybe

509
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:57,240
like you know that a couple people animals trays in his frozen his museum not enough to be worth

510
00:37:57,240 --> 00:38:03,800
invading uh so those tendrils of behemoth just kind of float on by and eventually enter hibernation

511
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:12,760
as they could not find uh rich enough worlds in biomass in time i'm in necron w common necron w

512
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:19,160
indeed although they do seem to be the the hard counter to tyrannids in a lot of ways it's well

513
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:24,440
yeah that's good they don't uh they offer the necrons nothing chaos as well from the flayed

514
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:28,520
ones it's like you could nipple on my like flayed ones like face a little but it's not going to be

515
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:33,560
enough to make the journey worth it yeah you know that you can feed one gaunt with that

516
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:40,440
yeah uh there's also an instance of behemoth devouring the fortress world of siberi

517
00:38:41,240 --> 00:38:47,560
a planet held by the heretic astartes death shadows chapter may that horrible edgy name

518
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:55,400
live on forever in the stomach of the death shadows which further proves krifman's point

519
00:38:55,400 --> 00:39:01,400
incidentally of them just being here for food uh because although they cannot eat demons the

520
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:05,720
tyranids because they've just made out of warp stuff and emotions you can eat the followers of

521
00:39:05,720 --> 00:39:10,760
chaos pretty well and uh siberi wasn't a caat demon world proper it was a fortress world uh

522
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:16,120
chaos was squatting and so the tyrannids showed up and then there was no more fortress world

523
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:23,880
there was just a whole lot of dead traders which uh good for them at least the tyranids are an

524
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:30,440
equal opportunity monster uh back to krifman because like i was saying at the beginning

525
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:37,000
uh a large portion of the of the first tyrannic or is krifman's wild ride across the eastern

526
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:46,440
fringes of the imperium uh as krifman's bizarre adventure yeah that's right uh mcrog is unbreakable

527
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:53,320
but uh with the things getting even more dire because every minute he can't warn the imperium

528
00:39:53,320 --> 00:40:00,840
is probably another world that's falling uh he's able to figure out the course of the hive mind

529
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:06,840
and uh realize that uh oh they're uh they're going to ultramar the home of the ultramanes

530
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:14,600
and for several reasons this is uh this is bad one of course is ultramarine's first founding chapter

531
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:19,960
one of the original legions they've got a lot of good stuff and if they die that's a quite the

532
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:26,680
loss to the imperium uh two is that uh this is all taking place just for reference probably could

533
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:33,000
have started with this but here we are is a segmentum ultima uh the easternmost uh of the

534
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:39,160
imperium segmentums which are like the largest division of imperial space it's uh it's kind of

535
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:44,360
like uh anyone like you know you describe america's like the midwest the east coast the west coast

536
00:40:45,240 --> 00:40:53,080
uh it's it's like it's like that for the imperium just in space uh so and uh the problem with that

537
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:59,640
is that if ultramar falls it's not only you know a very built up realm with a lot of people in it

538
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:05,640
that would vastly feed the tyranids but because of the sheer size of the segmentum it means that

539
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:13,080
this is one of like the only major like defensive lines you can form against the tyranids uh yeah

540
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:17,880
it's it's got quite a distance between it and terror as well so it's like it's a big outpost

541
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:24,200
quite far away from the from the throne world and it's like if that falls and that's a big like

542
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:29,400
exposed area that leads straight to terror it's not like a it's not close but it's a quite direct

543
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:33,720
route where it's like oh that's like a big bulwark against whatever's on the east which is a really

544
00:41:33,720 --> 00:41:39,000
horrible place most of the time we want that where it is it's just aliens would have to ultra oh

545
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:45,080
it's just the sheer size of like the segmentum means that it's by nature very decentralized

546
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:50,680
so yeah macrog falls and suddenly the tyranids have free reign over what makes up like a third

547
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:56,360
of all imperial space like that's the last solid defensive point you can make before it's open

548
00:41:56,360 --> 00:42:03,720
season for the tyranids and although no one quite knows the about the tyranids adaptability yet

549
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:10,520
what we know is that they integrate the genes of whatever they eat and at this point in the lore

550
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:17,640
in the lore uh rebute gilliman is still laying in slumber on macrog so if they eat that uh the

551
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:24,680
tyrannids uh you're gonna turn in primark that'd be so cool time uh the tyrannids are suddenly

552
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:32,920
going to know how to do their taxes very well uh so yeah uh critman is actively just like

553
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:40,200
he's he's doing everything he can and he is horrified uh what remainder of like i said they

554
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:47,000
did not eat all of thandros's relay they salvaged it used it on critman's astropath again how exactly

555
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:51,560
they did i don't know maybe they got the corpses of like the skulls of the psykers and saying

556
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:59,400
maybe they just plugged something into the guy the specifics could not find uh i'm afraid

557
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:05,480
well i mean at least if the again the angels of death series is anything to go by it's like

558
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:10,600
they maybe don't kill them they just like put them on life support and then they're like you're still

559
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:15,720
useful but then yeah once that use isn't used we'll eat you oh these are useful you know yeah

560
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:23,400
but whatever it was they managed to get out a message at great effort and uh strain on the

561
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:29,880
psykers mind with mcrog itself being the only thing to answer the call so it's uh time to go

562
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:39,080
to ultramar critman manages to beat the hive mind uh behemoth uh to uh mcrog and he has a meeting with

563
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:46,200
uh marnanius calgarius himself uh big daddy calgar uh he uh he listens patiently to the

564
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:51,480
inquisitor calgar is a cool dude he knows critman's definitely got some good insight to be shared

565
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:57,800
and with that uh the ultramarines prepare for battle on the planet of prondium in mcrog

566
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:03,880
uh it's a lush garden forest world that uh is described it's been it was described in the

567
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:10,920
reading it did as a wonder of the imperium it's like it's like the like garden of eden the planet

568
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:16,120
and the ultramarines as it is part of ultramar they're bound to protect it and uh

569
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:27,240
it didn't it didn't go so hot for the smurfs it was a slaughter and not for not a not against

570
00:44:27,240 --> 00:44:32,200
not against the tyranids uh the tactics they used they did a lot of things like you know like

571
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:38,360
hit and run aerial harassment tactics uh you know split up tactics that against you know like a

572
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:43,880
mortal enemy you know with like supply lines and whatnot and field commanders you know all that

573
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:50,440
kind of stuff lieutenants would be very effective the problem is the tyranids uh combat doctrine is

574
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:57,480
to have a massive blob of violence and just kind of move it forward uh at breakneck speed into your

575
00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:01,800
front lines yeah the ultramarines like let's target the commander and they're like seeing a

576
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:07,800
big sea of them like all right what's your best guess which one's in charge i don't know it looks

577
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:13,880
similar yeah yeah which to be fair uh they would later learn that the tyranids do have their own

578
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:19,080
twisted version of commanders but again you need to keep in mind first tyranic war this is the first

579
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:24,040
proper battle against like war against them they don't know what those those creatures look like

580
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:31,000
yet uh so like you're saying andy that one that one looks like the commander i don't know uh it's

581
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:38,440
that oh sorry i was i would say it reminds me of like um when people think about particularly like

582
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:43,960
napoleonic era war everyone go like why do they all just like stand up in a line and then like

583
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:50,040
fire in combat that way it's always because at some point when like war advances in technology

584
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:55,400
there was always a ah this seems to be the most effective with what technology slash what enemy

585
00:45:55,400 --> 00:46:01,960
we're facing i mean it's like another if i remember correctly what's the one between um france or

586
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:08,040
frank yeah france and prussia where like suddenly prussia changed the game instead of having line

587
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:11,960
inventory it changed to basically breaking things down to squads i think it was the

588
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:19,800
the something prussian wars with napoleon the the not the franco that one yeah we're like kind of

589
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:25,960
the entire battlefield since or the prussians changed the quote unquote the game and it's the

590
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:32,200
same way now where like the um the tyranid threat essentially is like oh this is an enemy doesn't

591
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:37,720
fight in the way that we would expect them to and now for the ultraman they're like oh it's clearly

592
00:46:37,720 --> 00:46:43,240
like whatever we've been doing warfare before it's literally failed us now because the enemies

593
00:46:43,240 --> 00:46:47,640
advanced beyond it yeah i don't remember who said the quote but it's something along the line of like

594
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:56,600
a like the every general is perfectly prepared for the last war like like the difference between

595
00:46:56,600 --> 00:47:03,080
world war one and two yeah oh we can't use trenches anymore i was like what that's my thing we can't

596
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:08,040
do trenches anymore it doesn't work like in the context of trench warfare the imaginal line was

597
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:15,000
a masterpiece unfortunately germany had tanks yeah they did not they went around

598
00:47:17,240 --> 00:47:24,840
uh so yeah uh ultramarines took some pretty bad losses was not great uh prondium was forced to

599
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:29,800
be sacrificed to the tyranids which is a major problem and not only because ultramarines lost

600
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:36,920
tyranids win but because as such a lush and like wonderfully verdant world uh it pretty much just

601
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:42,040
replenishes the tyranid losses so it's like the battle mays wolf not happened from their point of

602
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:49,240
view uh the planet of calth also fell because of course it did it's calth nothing good ever happens

603
00:47:49,240 --> 00:47:56,520
on cal for reference there was a massive battle at calth during the horrors heresy for um uh people

604
00:47:56,520 --> 00:48:01,640
who might not know horrors heresy law and essentially the word bearers just uh trace

605
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:09,000
trace legion word bearers essentially ambushed the not yet suspected uh or the unsuspectingly

606
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:17,000
uh betrayed the imperium openly and they decimated many of the ultramarines legion so legion uh time

607
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:22,280
period so there are hundreds of thousands of uh ultramarines who perished on cal so cal has seen

608
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:29,480
a lot of it was a cal from the ruin storm which was like a massive war storm that yeah cal had a

609
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:34,520
bad like because that specifically was the first battle the ultramarines part took in and it was

610
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:40,920
the one where they weren't prepared for it they lost like 100 000 marines and then as a last act

611
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:47,880
of huh i hate you erobus and the word bearers also poisoned its son to irradiate cal so you can't

612
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:52,520
stand on the surface for more than like a few minutes if you're a space marine let alone a human

613
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:59,080
yeah it's not good it's a bad bad nasty place it's uh i'll jump ahead a little bit uh like to the end

614
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:05,000
of war uh the aftermath is described as prondium being the only major world that fell which means

615
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:11,160
cal cal doesn't even get to be called a major world yeah it got so like ruined in the heresy

616
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:17,880
of the time afterwards for the people don't even count it the people still live well because of the first

617
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:24,120
incident cal they eventually were forced underground yeah yeah cal used to be beautiful long time like

618
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:30,040
10 000 years ago and then it got lorgard it got yeah well wasn't there it got erobus

619
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:36,920
erobus and core pharaoh it was word but he got word buried they got some literacy done oh no

620
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:44,280
and uh after this tremendous shit show uh two things of note uh happened one far more important

621
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:50,120
than the other uh feel free to decide which is the more important one uh one is that marnius

622
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:54,920
calgar fasted and meditated for a week straight you just went into a trance like just thinking

623
00:49:54,920 --> 00:50:00,360
about what what happened how do we just badass how do we not let this happen again very cool hunger

624
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:07,880
strike uh and he came out and declared that the ultramarines applied applied pride had guided them

625
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:13,480
to a vastly changing galaxy it had been 10 000 years since the damn thing was written and uh

626
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:18,920
the uh i think it was what i read was the codex is written for space marines space marines aren't

627
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:25,320
written for the codex uh if you need more what's up okay i'll go ahead finish up i'll uh jump in

628
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:30,840
after i would say if you need more reason to hate liandros uh it should be noted that marnius calgar

629
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:36,280
himself said the codex is not everything and yet we still have liandros being the absolute worst

630
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:43,160
going your book said this is bad it shouldn't jump out of the ship like the book says it's

631
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:49,560
naughty like shut up no one likes you i love the russian badger video it's like it's like you know

632
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:57,400
the codex is starting does not support this reaction shut the fuck up land rose i'll just say um

633
00:50:57,400 --> 00:51:02,760
just for uh context for some people the codex is starting which is written from an ultramarine

634
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:09,400
perspective by gilliamon at the end of the heresy to sort of split up the legions of the chapters

635
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:15,240
and so no basically no being would be able to wield imperial forces to the level like a primarch

636
00:51:15,240 --> 00:51:19,960
would so there'll be no way to betray it to the same level it's so like if a chapter goes row

637
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:26,200
it's like eight chapter not a legion yeah and then it's the final word to put a bow after the

638
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:31,240
big civil war where like hundreds of thousands of space marines and millions billions of people died

639
00:51:31,240 --> 00:51:36,600
and gilliams like right this is the book about how that's not going to happen again okay take

640
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:43,240
it seriously and there's like this 10 000 year old scripture we i call it scripture because the

641
00:51:43,240 --> 00:51:49,160
ultramarines themselves they do it is the 41st millennium so obviously there's the god emperor

642
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:57,560
of mankind and they is very much worshiped as like the bible for them so it's just absolutely

643
00:51:57,560 --> 00:52:05,320
crazy that um in the context of this the uh chapter mass of manias calga of the ultramarines would say

644
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:12,040
the codex is not good enough for this which is taking a few pages out the bible and going we

645
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:18,200
don't need this we don't like what are you doing you can't do that it's like the pope saying listen

646
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:27,720
the bible doesn't have social media rules and you'd be like what the hell it should also be noted

647
00:52:27,720 --> 00:52:32,520
that the only thing gilliams demanded everyone fall from the start is was the organizational

648
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:37,000
reforms like the was you can't have legions anymore that's a no no you can't do that

649
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:43,720
uh all of the tactics in it were like that was gilliam and just codifying tactics so people could

650
00:52:43,720 --> 00:52:50,760
use them uh so funnily enough by calgar going the codex doesn't have anything that's ironically

651
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:55,640
exactly what gilliam would want you to think he's like listen this is just what i know you do what

652
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:59,960
you do best you don't need to listen to anything you don't need to listen to anything but the

653
00:52:59,960 --> 00:53:05,640
you know no more legions business in this book so funnily enough calgar came to a realization that

654
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:11,560
gilliam and probably would have given a little pat on the back for it the second most important

655
00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:16,040
the second thing the vastly more important thing uh who cares about the ultramarines

656
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:23,800
shaking off 10 000 years of tradition stagnation that who cares the real thing is uh on the planet

657
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:31,240
of caliph before the fighting ended one brave one mad lad uh managed to blast a tyranid in the face

658
00:53:31,240 --> 00:53:38,200
uh a creature known as a carnifex so a quite big threat in the face with a plasma bolt and uh it

659
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:45,320
fell uh its brain and skull was seared the right side of its face just completely burned off and

660
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:52,680
the beast was declared dead and its body was frozen as the winter snow set in uh surely nothing bad

661
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:58,360
will come of that surely dead beast that i will not be covering in about 10 to 15 minutes surely nothing

662
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:06,200
um but it's time for uh for the mccrog the final showdown uh the ultramarines they change things

663
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:12,920
up that they realize that you can't really fight the tyranids in the open field uh because one at

664
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:18,040
this point they're still not really sure how the uh the command chain uh how any of that works or

665
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:23,800
even exists and two there's a lot more of them so if you try to flank them you're just going to get

666
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:31,000
surrounded and eaten alive uh it's better against the tyranids to build static defenses that so that

667
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:36,840
way as long as you don't run out of ammo you at least have a shot uh rather than basically walking

668
00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:44,120
into a field in a nice orderly line and then getting devoured so they uh they fortify ultramar

669
00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:49,960
as we briefly mentioned earlier the damocles crusade was going on uh the imperium was fighting the

670
00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:55,400
tau empire uh it was quite the quite the battlefield quite the theater war i must say

671
00:54:56,280 --> 00:55:01,320
in kyphus is kyphus kane's own worlds uh he'll give the tau one thing they know how to put on

672
00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:07,560
a good war uh but before the imperium could do what the imperium does best and drown the problem

673
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:14,760
in bodies uh shout out to the guard behemoth is now like fully known about and urgently needs to

674
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:20,840
be dealt with like the tau are a problem the tyranids are in imperium ending threat so the

675
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:25,480
damocles crusade is called off the ultramarines all return to mcrog every single member of the

676
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:31,080
chapter is on the planet uh the forces of the guard that were with them are pulled back as well

677
00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:36,120
this is uh this is this is the showdown because like i was saying earlier this is the last stand

678
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:41,800
between the tyranids like having to deal with like proper resistance and basically having open

679
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:50,280
season on a very decentralized portion of the empire so mcrog is fortified uh to a level not

680
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:57,960
since seen seen since the horse heresy and despite this the uh the battle is brutal uh the entire

681
00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:04,200
chapter defending the world the uh the ultramarines themselves are largely focused around the fortress

682
00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:09,400
of hara their fortress monastery and where gilliman's taken his nap still at this point in the lore

683
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:15,080
and the tyranids of course focus on that as well as it's the greatest source of resistance on the

684
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:22,520
planet and in long terms the only thing between them and a proper meal so if they take out this

685
00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:30,520
it is time for the planet to uh to end and indeed the imperium arguably uh nevertheless

686
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:37,720
it's just horrible like the the skies are on fire with tyrannid spores raining down onto them

687
00:56:37,720 --> 00:56:45,080
millions more are still making it uh bugs are everywhere and uh marnius calgar himself decides

688
00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:49,320
he's gonna he's gonna throw down with the closest thing the tyrannids have to a champion and the

689
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:56,040
leader uh elai would you like to talk about that a little bit marnius calgar versus uh swarm chad

690
00:56:56,840 --> 00:57:03,160
yes sir i will we can talk about the battle of uh what is it cold steel ridge which i summarized

691
00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:09,320
for you all so here we go it was the it was during the battle of cold steel ridge that marnius

692
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:14,520
calgar battled the swarm lord he had originally chosen the location because it took the tyrannids

693
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:19,640
greatest strength away from them that of numbers the xenos were forced to cross the bridges and

694
00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:24,120
walk through valleys to become bottlenecked as hailing bolter fire slaughtered them wholesale

695
00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:28,920
assault marines threw themselves at the synapse creatures while scouts and bikes lured beasts into

696
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:33,800
killing fields of tank fire the stratagems of calgar were working well until the greatest

697
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:39,880
tyrannids the ultramarine had ever seen entered the fray the swarm lord began to command his troops

698
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:44,680
countering the ultramarines over and over again until the horde began to break through and overrun

699
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:50,920
the warriors the swarm lord sent raveners and trigons to massacre the trenches making them

700
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:56,440
into canals of blood and from here the defense crumbled the space marines turned to destroy the

701
00:57:56,440 --> 00:58:01,320
xenos creating a hole in their line and letting a brood of carnifexes through to destroy the armor

702
00:58:01,320 --> 00:58:07,000
support calgar knew he was about to lose and so he brought in thunder hawks to bring about a retreat

703
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:11,880
but the swarm lord catella's prey was about to escape so he bellowed a challenge and charged into

704
00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:17,480
the retinue or into the fray with a retinue of tyrannid warriors slaughtering every space marine

705
00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:23,160
in their way marnius was cut off from his honor guard because the swarm lord's cheeky little guy

706
00:58:23,160 --> 00:58:28,760
had commanded homergons to feign death and then they burst out of the piles of corpses to assail

707
00:58:28,760 --> 00:58:34,840
his space marine guardians uh when this will finally reach calgar the ultramarine put up a

708
00:58:34,840 --> 00:58:41,400
valiant fight but unfortunately in the word the authors wrote him as being already near death

709
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:47,800
when the battle began so it kind of takes away from the epicness of the duel uh but whatever

710
00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:54,520
i was disappointed when i read that so he was defeated overall um battered and bruised i didn't

711
00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:59,400
find the actual descriptions i don't know if his arms actually got cut off like the tts meme

712
00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:05,080
but we can we can say his arms and legs got cut off for fun but before the swarm lord could kill

713
00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:11,320
him his honor guard jumped in front of him and pushed the beast back uh al oysius commander of

714
00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:17,480
the guard sacrificed himself fighting alone against the swarm lord and the swarm lord's guards

715
00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:24,200
so that his brothers could escape on the newly arrived thunder hawks the ultramarine's uh author

716
00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:32,760
armor will stay forever the greatest plot armor of them all really but yeah the swarm was pretty

717
00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:39,240
pretty freaking epic he outsmarted marnius calgar and beat him in a battle and then uh they ran away

718
00:59:39,240 --> 00:59:42,920
yeah you don't you don't want to be in melee range of the swarm lord you uh

719
00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:49,320
spoiler for his arms unless you are table top avatar of cain or anger on you aren't winning

720
00:59:49,320 --> 00:59:57,720
that fight i like the fact the uh the swarm lord has like integrated four bone sword arms but

721
00:59:57,720 --> 01:00:04,280
uniquely for the swarm lord the swords he has are made from a crystal that can't be found within

722
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:10,120
the milky way galaxy yeah it's applied that it's it's a conquest of another galaxy i like the idea

723
01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:15,000
of trays and just rubbing his hands together like i love one of those i'm sure he has a swarm lord

724
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:19,880
somewhere he's got a collection of different like shades of like this is an onyx shade one this is

725
01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:25,800
a purple one this is from behamoth this is from leviathan the swarm lord's too cool it's like

726
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:31,000
sole reason to make me want to play tyranids this is this is part of the swarm i unleashed on the

727
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:37,640
phalanx and battle fleet god it was funny it also goes to show as well this particular

728
01:00:37,640 --> 01:00:44,440
like battle as well like as much as people might think oh the tyranid hive mind slash big you know

729
01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:51,000
tendrils whatever even though it's like main thing is just feed it only desires to just basically

730
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:57,960
consume all biomass it's not unintelligent in a way it just doesn't need to be more than that only

731
01:00:57,960 --> 01:01:04,440
at times like such as battlefield so it does have um like genuine tactics and uh it's normally

732
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:10,040
it's almost smart it is it is smarter than a human in a way yeah it's harder than calgar

733
01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:17,400
it's it's like if like you gave an animal like the highest iq on the planet but you don't give it like

734
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:23,320
proper sapience uh so it's the deadly it's now the deadliest predator on the planet it's just

735
01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:26,680
you know it doesn't give a shit about the culture it doesn't need books it just needs food

736
01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:34,680
it's like an octopus and a shark combine i don't know the the only emotion i'm aware of that i've

737
01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:39,240
seen the tyrannid do is in the space marines 2 trailer where captain titus does his superhero

738
01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:43,720
landing and they take a step back and then the other guy in charge is like oh don't don't walk

739
01:01:43,720 --> 01:01:48,760
backwards it's just a space means like oh oh oh babe that's not just i'm that's that's captain

740
01:01:48,760 --> 01:01:54,280
titus he's gonna rip you a new one maybe lieutenant titus now but that just means he's more on the

741
01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:58,840
ground ready he's still a captain in my heart i don't care what the inquisition says they can

742
01:01:58,840 --> 01:02:04,040
take me he's still a captain two knuckle dusters one says plot and one says armor

743
01:02:05,640 --> 01:02:11,880
and both are smashing in liandros's face at least he at least he lost the fight even if the authors

744
01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:18,520
gave him an excuse to lose the fight which was so lame but it's fine everything's fine well makes it

745
01:02:18,520 --> 01:02:24,680
any more oh sorry i'm gonna go first no you first i was gonna move on i'll say just like for people

746
01:02:24,680 --> 01:02:29,800
thinking oh that sounds kind of like a nice clash what makes it like extra horrifying is that like

747
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:35,160
obviously space heroes are just using like bolter blade and flame with the tyrannid weapons just

748
01:02:35,160 --> 01:02:41,400
like being a regular guardsman on mccragge even obviously mccragge is fortified beyond imagine

749
01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:46,760
fortifying earth like to a cray like trenches literally everywhere and buildings and guns

750
01:02:46,760 --> 01:02:52,440
and then the tyrannid weapons are like even smaller bugs that can like eat like they're

751
01:02:52,440 --> 01:02:57,880
like they're flesh borer rifles it shoots a thing at you like it's a creature that eats you through

752
01:02:57,880 --> 01:03:06,120
a sphincter and literally just their weapons are their swords and they're obviously like their

753
01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:11,880
pincers they can pierce through surmai and they devour people from the is it is basically any

754
01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:16,600
interaction with a tyrannid weapon for most things it's like you're walking dead essentially so it

755
01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:21,320
is pretty if you see an orifice you duck away from it because you don't know what's coming out of it

756
01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:25,720
and it's probably gonna probably gonna kill you or hurt you just stay away from it it's unpleasant

757
01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:30,760
yeah i want to mention one last thing though which is like it's mentioned in the devastation of bar

758
01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:36,840
which is another tyrannid siege we'll probably cover in a podcast one day when they it happens

759
01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:40,280
like we're like because obviously everyone like imagines like these battles in their head

760
01:03:40,280 --> 01:03:44,360
the tyrannid swarm is so large that it actually creates like artificial night

761
01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:49,800
so for when you're imagining these battles that's how they're not swarming about like a big thing

762
01:03:49,800 --> 01:03:55,080
covering the sun that's like loads of tiny little bugs covering the sun that's how many yeah and

763
01:03:55,080 --> 01:03:58,920
both the blood angels and ultramarines have had the toughest time they're like we need like the

764
01:03:58,920 --> 01:04:03,320
blood angels like we need every successor to defend the planet just from the tyrannids because

765
01:04:03,320 --> 01:04:09,160
they're that much of a threat and it's terrible i think all their homeworld was as mcrag is probably

766
01:04:09,160 --> 01:04:14,760
the most other than terror the most fortified planet in the entire imperium so just going to show

767
01:04:14,760 --> 01:04:22,440
how it used to be the ultramarines even call back the other successor chapters i just there no time

768
01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:29,560
i don't think they do but but again they've got like a massive multi-world spanning empire so it's

769
01:04:29,560 --> 01:04:33,720
like you've got more guard than you would with barl it's probably a bigger planet it's got more

770
01:04:33,720 --> 01:04:39,560
infrastructure it's got more resources and it's the ultramarines who are like the premier the

771
01:04:39,560 --> 01:04:44,520
premier chapter as much as we do the ultramarines with the we do want to mention that the gods

772
01:04:44,520 --> 01:04:52,920
there's probably billions of god yeah and titans and they had titans oh yeah oh yeah it's like it's

773
01:04:52,920 --> 01:04:57,800
just the space marines are just the ultramarines but it's it's the full like the full might of the

774
01:04:57,800 --> 01:05:03,800
imperial military is here right now it's literally it'll be a battle that would like destroy earth

775
01:05:03,800 --> 01:05:09,560
if it was like to rage on it's an incomprehensible but uh but if you thought the chapter master of

776
01:05:09,560 --> 01:05:14,040
the ultramarines nearly getting killed was bad the first company's doing it even worse

777
01:05:15,080 --> 01:05:22,840
they were at the northern pole of mcrog in the frozen wastes where some more defensive batteries

778
01:05:22,840 --> 01:05:28,920
were located and they were killed to a man and just for reference these were terminators they

779
01:05:28,920 --> 01:05:34,200
were the first company these are the guys who get the good the you know the extra primo stuff

780
01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:43,080
and uh did not help them uh although yeah they uh for what it's worth uh what i read was they killed

781
01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:51,240
so many tyranids they were like blanketing the ground like 10 courses six deep many corpses deep

782
01:05:51,240 --> 01:05:58,280
more than zero cork yeah it's a big lost marines the temple of the flame went out in the temple

783
01:05:58,280 --> 01:06:03,640
or whatever when they died i think yeah and they couldn't recover loads of their terminator armor

784
01:06:03,640 --> 01:06:08,600
suits because they were so badly damaged like oh that we are we can't do anything it's just it's

785
01:06:08,600 --> 01:06:13,000
it's just bits we can't use this anymore it's in pieces and so is the guy who was wearing it

786
01:06:14,120 --> 01:06:19,160
there's a cool diorama as well if you look it up i think it's especially sad though because when

787
01:06:19,160 --> 01:06:25,080
we say uh first company that is first company is the elite veterans so a lot of these are like

788
01:06:25,080 --> 01:06:31,720
centuries old ultramarines like there's no there's no young blood in these and their panoples are

789
01:06:31,720 --> 01:06:35,960
like multi-thousands of years old they've been through countless like some of it's probably from

790
01:06:35,960 --> 01:06:40,200
the horus heresy it's been through like the darkest and brightest moments of the ultramarines

791
01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:45,560
chapters history and now oh it's gone we can't use it anymore all that history in a single day it's

792
01:06:45,560 --> 01:06:51,960
been taken but uh even with all this you must still remember we are still dealing with the

793
01:06:51,960 --> 01:06:58,360
ultramarines uh yeah buddy the battle kind of just goes from the ultramarines are all taking

794
01:06:58,360 --> 01:07:06,120
horrible losses and uh and then we won but well this is because of this kind of space it's because

795
01:07:06,120 --> 01:07:11,800
of space i think we're gonna get to that all right okay there's a thing about high fleet baomoth

796
01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:20,600
uh it wasn't just moving as one big old blob of you know death uh it was two uh two halves of it

797
01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:26,520
were leapfrogging each other so one one half would devour a world the second half would go ahead of

798
01:07:26,520 --> 01:07:30,120
them and then that first half would go ahead of them and then on and on and on and on and on

799
01:07:31,880 --> 01:07:40,200
uh problem was the ultramarines at a very very horrendous devastating cost were able to beat the

800
01:07:40,200 --> 01:07:46,040
uh alongside their allies of the guard and whatnot were able to hold off the fight on mcrogg

801
01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:50,360
uh they didn't kill every single tyranid but they were able to at the very least

802
01:07:51,240 --> 01:07:56,600
weaken that half enough that mcrogg was no longer in danger of falling the numbers gained isn't it

803
01:07:56,600 --> 01:08:01,880
because they had to basically the the tyranid hive mind goes you cost too much right now to take

804
01:08:01,880 --> 01:08:11,880
now to take her problem was uh the other half was in space like you mentioned eli uh as uh so in the

805
01:08:11,880 --> 01:08:18,760
space uh around mcrogg fights not done yet as the other half arrived to finish off the uh weakened

806
01:08:18,760 --> 01:08:26,760
ultramarines and the other half oh my god yeah for real there's a lot of tyrannids what do you want

807
01:08:26,760 --> 01:08:31,960
to do pain one half of them was wipe them out and they're like it's literally someone saying like

808
01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:38,360
bot has been fighting with a hand type on his back yeah uh but thankfully the imperial navy is

809
01:08:38,360 --> 01:08:44,520
here to save the day uh the perhaps most forgotten about navy in all of science fiction

810
01:08:48,200 --> 01:08:52,440
they're here this is their this is their one time to shine it's this in battle fleet comic

811
01:08:52,440 --> 01:08:59,800
yeah other than admiral spire being a badass like abaddon pish rubbish i'm admiral spire i don't give

812
01:08:59,800 --> 01:09:08,120
a damn about amit uh but yeah the navy is going at it and the fighting is arguably even fiercer

813
01:09:08,120 --> 01:09:13,720
in space because this is where the tiered and bioships are and they're the ships they're not

814
01:09:13,720 --> 01:09:21,800
like you know a carnifex is big this is a spaceship that's made out of meat uh so quite big and uh

815
01:09:21,800 --> 01:09:29,800
hey that's i hate it so much it's the meat ship oh god and uh the fighting is so horrible that the

816
01:09:29,800 --> 01:09:35,400
imperium has to send in reinforcements from the entire other segmentum segmentum tempestus

817
01:09:35,400 --> 01:09:40,840
which i don't remember where that is on the map is that the south one it won't be the one that's

818
01:09:40,840 --> 01:09:49,000
terror it won't be more it's not north yeah are we more east or north possibly i think it might be

819
01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:53,640
north because i think i think like is an ultramar like the most southeasterly place on the map and

820
01:09:53,640 --> 01:09:58,360
then it's like you can only go up and left from there segmentum tempestus is south it's the one

821
01:09:58,360 --> 01:10:06,200
below oh okay i think we should also mention mr calgar is back on his feet i of course i went

822
01:10:07,960 --> 01:10:13,480
he gave a good man down they gave them some replacement everything and uh he's back on it

823
01:10:13,480 --> 01:10:19,480
uh unfortunately he's commanding himself in space he is unfortunately he cannot fight in space however

824
01:10:19,480 --> 01:10:28,840
being a man against each ship uh so even with these reinforcements it's uh it's not looking

825
01:10:28,840 --> 01:10:35,560
great uh critman however he's also in space and he he's he comes to a realization uh certain

826
01:10:35,560 --> 01:10:40,920
bioships when they're destroyed all of the surrounding ones just lose any kind of cohesion

827
01:10:40,920 --> 01:10:46,520
they just go into like animalistic meltdown uh which the imperium would also learn applies to

828
01:10:46,520 --> 01:10:52,360
certain creatures on the ground synapse creatures as the way that works is it's how the hive mind

829
01:10:52,360 --> 01:10:56,920
directs them through these synapse creatures and when you blow that one up the rest of the

830
01:10:58,520 --> 01:11:03,800
smaller creatures are cut off from the hive mind and uh refer to like animalistic instincts

831
01:11:04,600 --> 01:11:10,120
or a scientist call it the phantom menace meant method it's like you get the gungans involved on

832
01:11:10,120 --> 01:11:14,040
the ground and then you just blow up the ship and then they go oh they're broken and then they

833
01:11:15,400 --> 01:11:27,400
we said did it they are broken for being the worst 20 uh but uh even with this again a lot

834
01:11:27,400 --> 01:11:33,640
of tyranids this is the second half of leviathan uh thankfully the imperium has a little something

835
01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:42,680
called an emperor class battleship uh the dominus astra uh it does not win by being like a dozen

836
01:11:42,680 --> 01:11:48,600
like a dozen mile long battleship it wins by charging into the center of the tyrannid blob

837
01:11:48,600 --> 01:11:56,680
of violence uh and detonating its warp drive uh if you had you like halo reach uh they george it

838
01:11:56,680 --> 01:12:04,840
uh for the emperor brules for the emperor and uh they solved the problem of the second half of

839
01:12:04,840 --> 01:12:10,680
behemoth in the most in the most fitting way possible sending all of the tyranids to the

840
01:12:10,680 --> 01:12:17,160
immaterium and making them some poor demons problem to deal with it's not a move they can do i think

841
01:12:17,720 --> 01:12:22,520
because the emperor class ship is is they can't make them anymore can they they can't make

842
01:12:22,520 --> 01:12:27,320
them anymore and maintaining them alone is already like straining the imperium so uh yeah that's

843
01:12:27,320 --> 01:12:32,920
that's not a reliable throw the battleship at it yeah it's not a holdo maneuver where it's like i

844
01:12:32,920 --> 01:12:38,200
could just jump through space above these stars like no no you can only do it once why oh because

845
01:12:38,200 --> 01:12:46,200
we don't have a lot of boats yeah you just bankrupted 10 sectors yeah uh and with that

846
01:12:46,200 --> 01:12:54,120
the battle is won uh but the aftermath is a little rough uh the ultrarines lost a little

847
01:12:54,120 --> 01:13:01,480
a little uh the ultrarines lost so many men that on top of the the whole first company that it took

848
01:13:01,480 --> 01:13:09,000
them almost a century for them to uh clear mcrog of the remnants of the tyrannids and even longer

849
01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:14,200
for them to reach uh full strength uh and they were only able to even do that because the blood

850
01:13:14,200 --> 01:13:20,120
eagles uh dante was a cool guy and sent several entire companies to help them out uh because they

851
01:13:20,120 --> 01:13:27,160
had like no one left good old genesis chapter stepping up i imagine that helped the losses

852
01:13:27,160 --> 01:13:31,960
the ultrarines like just going oh boy i can't wait to be an ultramarine it's finally time

853
01:13:31,960 --> 01:13:35,160
and then you see all the dead like oh it kind of feels bittersweet

854
01:13:36,760 --> 01:13:39,880
honestly terminator armor even because it's all been broken oh that sucks

855
01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:44,840
i went to the chapter master of the genesis chapter like how many companies do you have

856
01:13:44,840 --> 01:13:49,880
i need them and they bullied the other successors into taking their terminator i'm like you don't

857
01:13:49,880 --> 01:13:57,560
need this we're more important we're gonna repaint it ultramarines uh on cal the planet was somewhat

858
01:13:57,560 --> 01:14:03,000
resettled uh the tyrannids evidently hadn't quite eaten it uh but not without issue because that

859
01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:10,680
carnaffex wasn't dead baby oh why he uh he was freed by salvagers from a block of ice hope not

860
01:14:10,680 --> 01:14:14,600
assuming you know who assumed he was dead and were thinking this will fetch a high price on

861
01:14:14,600 --> 01:14:19,800
some shady market or whatever uh then his regeneration kicked in uh it wasn't enough

862
01:14:19,800 --> 01:14:25,320
to heal his face but it was enough to heal everything else and for years from that day

863
01:14:25,320 --> 01:14:35,000
uh old one i would just periodically ransack cities on cal he's like the sly marble of tyranny

864
01:14:35,000 --> 01:14:41,240
and every now and then they declare him as dead and then he would come back then he goes baba yaga

865
01:14:41,240 --> 01:14:45,960
and then he just runs around killing himself oh no he's back and he's got his own cult he does

866
01:14:45,960 --> 01:14:51,400
he does a cult that worships his body would indicate he's presently dead but you can also

867
01:14:51,400 --> 01:14:56,600
use him on tabletop so probably not probably just take it now he's fine if i remember correctly

868
01:14:56,600 --> 01:15:03,560
doesn't he get he actually is resurrected by the some of the high fleets but as a unique one where

869
01:15:03,560 --> 01:15:10,280
it's missing an eye that's a theory theory or it's like a like the cult just worships old one eye

870
01:15:10,280 --> 01:15:17,400
in general i don't know if they worship his corpse yeah i read like they have what his body her one

871
01:15:17,400 --> 01:15:21,640
of his eyes with however it works he also probably right he also could just be hibernating there and

872
01:15:21,640 --> 01:15:29,000
every now and then he wakes up and their god just walks off he still stuck on cal he is on cal

873
01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:34,600
i hate this planet and he keeps waking up but they keep trying to wake me up

874
01:15:35,560 --> 01:15:38,760
he also makes other places sometimes he just does

875
01:15:38,760 --> 01:15:47,880
uh uh and uh just to be a goober uh and although the high fleet was broken it was not completely

876
01:15:47,880 --> 01:15:53,640
defeated that day uh it was split into numerous smaller splinter fleets which although much

877
01:15:53,640 --> 01:15:59,320
smaller and not with the same level of guidance from the hive mind proved to be a major pain in

878
01:15:59,320 --> 01:16:04,680
the ass for the galaxy for centuries to come uh there was one battle where they were fighting

879
01:16:04,680 --> 01:16:09,000
against the adeptus mechanicus and the skitari commander in charge actually figured out a great

880
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:17,080
way to deal with them the uh the like some uh like off-product gas from promethium refineries

881
01:16:17,720 --> 01:16:23,240
that he saturated the atmosphere with it and then lit it on fire which you know obviously a bit of

882
01:16:23,240 --> 01:16:29,480
a radical move but it did stop like a bulk of the tyrants from reaching grand landfall and

883
01:16:29,480 --> 01:16:35,400
horribly weakened them which you would think this is a great strategy to keep going forward uh because

884
01:16:35,400 --> 01:16:39,880
you know if the tyrants are on a planet it's better to damage it than just let the tyrants have it

885
01:16:40,680 --> 01:16:45,880
except uh he returned to a forge world the information was given to the forge world

886
01:16:45,880 --> 01:16:55,560
databanks and then they forgot about it classic classic yeah this is a certified imperium of man

887
01:16:55,560 --> 01:16:59,880
moment it was probably probably hard to pull that off on planets that aren't

888
01:17:00,680 --> 01:17:05,480
only mechanicus planets so people actually have to have an atmosphere it's definitely situational

889
01:17:05,480 --> 01:17:09,240
but like just the information itself was just like it's still there too it's not lost they just

890
01:17:09,240 --> 01:17:14,280
forgot it's there knowing the mechanicum they probably killed a bunch of like civilians in the

891
01:17:14,280 --> 01:17:21,720
process oh yeah acceptable acceptable losses it was just weak through yeah and uh another splinter

892
01:17:21,720 --> 01:17:30,440
fleet uh went uh fed on on this one actually ended up happening two centuries later it became high

893
01:17:30,440 --> 01:17:40,200
fleet gorgon uh and they would uh go be a pain to the tau empire uh for some time until uh until

894
01:17:40,200 --> 01:17:46,120
they weren't the tau kind of just pretty handily defeated them is that the one that farse i fought

895
01:17:46,120 --> 01:17:51,480
i believe it was that no i think that's a different i was uh i was cracking yeah i think what

896
01:17:51,480 --> 01:17:57,320
happened with the the gorgon was that the tau and tyranids got into an adaptation fight where they

897
01:17:57,320 --> 01:18:02,520
kept countering each other's tactics so fast that on the fly they would be doing something different

898
01:18:02,520 --> 01:18:08,360
every like five minutes ten and the tau one good for the when the uh when the turn is invaded on

899
01:18:08,360 --> 01:18:13,800
mccrag at the north pole did the i'm guessing the tyranids when they produced the bioform they

900
01:18:13,800 --> 01:18:18,680
obviously adapted them to the cold and then the water yeah they would they would have done that

901
01:18:18,680 --> 01:18:23,880
it's just that the uh adaptation of the tyranids isn't uh as with much of them at this point isn't

902
01:18:23,880 --> 01:18:32,600
fully uh like understood oh one thing i oh sorry uh one thing i liked about the battle mccrag uh

903
01:18:32,600 --> 01:18:37,320
things were going really well to one of their orbital defense cannons stopped working because

904
01:18:37,320 --> 01:18:42,840
the hive mind commanded like thousands of gargoyles to just uh throw themselves and clog the cannon

905
01:18:42,840 --> 01:18:49,720
with their bodies not bad and there was like swarms of bugs climbing up the titans and

906
01:18:50,440 --> 01:18:54,680
pushing them over and stuff killing people they took out the oracle mac platforms

907
01:18:55,880 --> 01:19:01,080
yeah rip creatures fallen i'm just whenever you say about they did this to it i was just

908
01:19:01,080 --> 01:19:05,800
thinking a bear goes it's like adapt improve overcome just i'm just like a tear it's going

909
01:19:05,800 --> 01:19:09,800
i'm gonna have to drink my own piss to survive like you know you don't just doing that for

910
01:19:09,800 --> 01:19:18,360
television stop it just stop and then uh and then what's up there um the adaptation that they're

911
01:19:18,360 --> 01:19:24,040
only i believe they need to do a little bit because obviously in terms of biomass cost

912
01:19:24,040 --> 01:19:29,320
it obviously factors in more just to basically specialize the tyranny for the even the way the

913
01:19:29,320 --> 01:19:34,520
tyrannids are designed they're designed to be the most efficient killing warriors like their forms

914
01:19:34,520 --> 01:19:38,120
because they could technically make it like a perfect being but it wouldn't be efficient

915
01:19:38,120 --> 01:19:41,880
in terms of biomass like they could make everything the swarm lord but efficiency

916
01:19:42,520 --> 01:19:47,960
dictates that's not good that's why it's why the imperium doesn't just only have knights and

917
01:19:47,960 --> 01:19:57,080
titans it's like you need smaller stuff uh and the last uh of the splinter fleets uh was a what

918
01:19:57,080 --> 01:20:02,280
much more devastating one than the rest uh i accidentally call it a splinter fleet a fleet

919
01:20:02,280 --> 01:20:09,880
of leviathan in the dock that's not right uh it adapted from its losses on ultramar and uh no

920
01:20:09,880 --> 01:20:16,600
longer was it uh sending out like massive storms of lesser tyranids instead it focused on producing

921
01:20:16,600 --> 01:20:23,080
a greater number of larger bio forms and this is important because they were not fighting back

922
01:20:23,080 --> 01:20:29,720
against the ultramarines they'd moved on to the planet of racer nine or uh i which uh yeah that's

923
01:20:29,720 --> 01:20:40,840
that's the roman numeral for nine right i wrote that down and then forgot i x that's nine uh yes

924
01:20:40,840 --> 01:20:47,240
yes uh they had uh they were fighting and on that planet was the night house of house raven

925
01:20:47,240 --> 01:20:52,200
imperial knights are getting and then this too good for them uh problem was these tyranids were

926
01:20:52,200 --> 01:20:57,240
fiercely intelligent uh they were the bigger ones so they were much more capable of going toe to toe

927
01:20:57,240 --> 01:21:02,440
with the knights and as we were saying before the tyranids aren't complete beasts when the hive minds

928
01:21:02,440 --> 01:21:08,760
guiding them they're fiercely intelligent they goaded and played on the knights are honor to

929
01:21:08,760 --> 01:21:15,240
isolate them on a one-on-one battles from their comrades and then swarm them with tyranids yeah

930
01:21:15,240 --> 01:21:19,240
then the knights go they're not fighting one-on-one that's not very sporting pip pip and then they get

931
01:21:19,240 --> 01:21:26,200
the pipe in their mouth and do a charge do it do it put a trench in go on they're more plutonium

932
01:21:26,200 --> 01:21:34,520
on the accent give it that and uh having uh with this the racco or nine fell and the knights

933
01:21:34,520 --> 01:21:41,320
believed they witnessed uh like a dark mirror of their own feudal traditions which i think

934
01:21:41,320 --> 01:21:45,960
they're just gaslighting themselves into thinking that but whatever uh they think they witnessed

935
01:21:45,960 --> 01:21:52,520
the tyranids being somewhat feudal and uh in uh in response to that they named this splinter fleet

936
01:21:52,520 --> 01:21:58,120
the court of the nephilim king which is a very cool name it's cool it goes all right they're alive

937
01:21:58,120 --> 01:22:03,160
and uh yeah starting to say what about night houses they know how to name stuff that is very true

938
01:22:03,800 --> 01:22:11,800
and uh they vowed vengeance against the tyranted threat uh and with that the first tyrannic war is

939
01:22:11,800 --> 01:22:16,360
over uh although the imperium you know they were aware of the remaining splinter fleets you know

940
01:22:16,360 --> 01:22:20,760
and they were you know gonna fight them as they needed to they kind of they kind of relaxed they

941
01:22:20,760 --> 01:22:26,600
figured like all right that was the tyranids that was you know there's the army it's over right

942
01:22:26,600 --> 01:22:31,160
there's the threat uh they figured like going forward that all of like the tyranids they would

943
01:22:31,160 --> 01:22:37,000
end up encountering on the eastern uh like portion of the galaxy there you know there's splinter

944
01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:44,200
fleets of leviathan uh or i kept saying leviathan uh baomoth after it uh withdrew from a crag to

945
01:22:44,200 --> 01:22:48,920
find more food they figure like all right it's baomoth again it's more more these guys will clean

946
01:22:48,920 --> 01:22:53,640
them up you know initially that was probably true like you know the first couple of years after

947
01:22:53,640 --> 01:23:01,320
mcrog it's like yeah that that's probably baomoth uh but it wasn't until 999 m41 that the imperium

948
01:23:01,320 --> 01:23:10,600
realized uh oh oh baomoth baomoth isn't all of them it's not even most of them uh oh and uh one

949
01:23:10,600 --> 01:23:16,120
final note i know you were asking earlier how if we do any bit of a lead-off into the rest of the

950
01:23:16,120 --> 01:23:22,920
tyranid threat a little bit of a hint on what critman gets up to i won't say exactly what in

951
01:23:22,920 --> 01:23:28,440
case we'll leave that for a later episode either on the tyranids as a whole or the other tyrannic

952
01:23:28,440 --> 01:23:35,160
wars but he uh he did some stuff that even to the inquisitions like that was beyond what the limits

953
01:23:35,160 --> 01:23:43,080
of acceptability so pretty pretty atrocious stuff critman did although in saying that they called

954
01:23:43,080 --> 01:23:50,040
him many things uh namely a radical a traitor a fool uh but does anyone want to take a guess what

955
01:23:50,040 --> 01:24:01,640
they didn't call him wrong inefficient how had it nice so uh epic the tyranids have just begun with

956
01:24:01,640 --> 01:24:08,200
the first tyrannic war and uh but for now that will be it does anyone have any questions on the

957
01:24:08,200 --> 01:24:14,440
on the bug fight i think i will say that we there are i think current what's currently going on in

958
01:24:14,440 --> 01:24:19,640
law there's there's the fourth tyrannic war so there is a little we will possibly cover some of

959
01:24:19,640 --> 01:24:24,520
the other ones although i don't believe the other ones are quite the same level as detail as the

960
01:24:25,800 --> 01:24:31,160
first tyrannic war maybe the third you could the third might be i'm not as sure about the second

961
01:24:31,160 --> 01:24:36,280
but the third might be because the third has like you know that the defensive ball and uh it's when

962
01:24:36,280 --> 01:24:42,280
you learn that the oh yeah just coming from the east well that will that will be the devastation

963
01:24:42,280 --> 01:24:47,640
of ball i think we'll save that one for a that's a that's almost an episode in its entirety because

964
01:24:47,640 --> 01:24:54,120
it's such an amazing um sort of version of a uh tyrannic fight and there's also some demons

965
01:24:54,120 --> 01:24:58,600
and i against them but we'll we'll save that another time though yeah i would say it's the

966
01:24:58,600 --> 01:25:03,560
event that cements the blood angels of like right here and it's our nemesis basically every every

967
01:25:03,560 --> 01:25:08,440
media you see the blood angels involved and it's pretty much all them versus the tyranids yeah and

968
01:25:08,440 --> 01:25:16,360
uh if uh some final closing words uh frankly i find the idea of a bug that thinks offensive

969
01:25:16,360 --> 01:25:19,560
and uh i'm from buenos aries and i say kill them all

970
01:25:22,280 --> 01:25:27,320
nice i think you can't talk about the tyranids and not bring upstairs your true

971
01:25:27,320 --> 01:25:33,320
resilience and then manius calgar kicked them out of the first war and he went it's afraid of us

972
01:25:33,320 --> 01:25:38,040
it's afraid of us and then the diddus went no propaganda went off right we're just gonna eat

973
01:25:38,040 --> 01:25:43,800
you from a different direction it's fine i think um if you are particularly more like the newest

974
01:25:43,800 --> 01:25:51,800
side of um warhammer law uh the first tyrannic war in terms of the general like overarching

975
01:25:51,800 --> 01:25:57,480
lore story of it is actually quite a i do find it quite enjoyable ones because it's a proper like

976
01:25:58,600 --> 01:26:03,000
obviously you kind of it's mostly obviously ultramarine kind of fan service at some points

977
01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:09,480
but it does show the overarching kind of greasiness of just general war in how the sort

978
01:26:09,480 --> 01:26:14,040
of the 40th millennium um behave and how it just really is on the ground level because it just

979
01:26:14,040 --> 01:26:19,880
shows you the absolute planet level destruction that just even a small set i mean it's one thing

980
01:26:19,880 --> 01:26:24,920
is like alphanac be a bad trope where it's like huh i was using only using a fraction of my power

981
01:26:24,920 --> 01:26:31,000
and then someone's like my you know um thinking of eldarie slash unari books here so then

982
01:26:31,960 --> 01:26:37,240
add bad to them and then the thousand aspect warriors get licked to death

983
01:26:39,960 --> 01:26:47,640
more about that another time hopefully um but never no there is no trilogy but the tyranny

984
01:26:47,640 --> 01:26:54,040
stuff is just so as much they are like the kind of like that face a swarm um villain in a way they

985
01:26:54,040 --> 01:27:02,280
do quite well to the point of um it it delves more into the horror of 40k because it is it's

986
01:27:02,280 --> 01:27:07,000
hard to kind of get across how genuinely like well they write it in the book but how horrifying

987
01:27:07,000 --> 01:27:11,640
just a tyranid invasion is because it's it's not just like oh you know we're playing a tower

988
01:27:11,640 --> 01:27:16,680
defense game then we're going to shoot into the number as port it is literally air ground and you

989
01:27:16,680 --> 01:27:22,520
know literally under the earth too like literally things great worms and creatures and even little

990
01:27:22,520 --> 01:27:27,320
time was like you know bite your ankle yeah there's a great episode of hammer and bolt where it's

991
01:27:27,320 --> 01:27:31,480
the kadians fighting tyranids and it's just the poor guardsmen and there's there's big ones there's

992
01:27:31,480 --> 01:27:35,720
little ones it's ones that just drop on them and explode and cover them with corrosive acid

993
01:27:35,720 --> 01:27:39,640
there's one bit where a guy's being eaten by like 10 of the little ones and the guards just like

994
01:27:40,200 --> 01:27:43,800
and a carried measures like no we've got to leave them we need to leave them but i feel like the

995
01:27:43,800 --> 01:27:49,480
first tyranic war could be summed up by the uh the band buckman turn overdrive just saying you

996
01:27:49,480 --> 01:27:54,760
ain't seen nothing yet but but but baby you ain't seen nothing yet and that's basically the first

997
01:27:54,760 --> 01:28:00,200
tyrannic war of them going like yeah we ain't even started i think they haven't even broken up what's

998
01:28:00,200 --> 01:28:05,640
up no you guys are i'll finish and uh they didn't even break out all of the stops because uh no the

999
01:28:05,640 --> 01:28:11,160
future wars the gene stealers are going to be a threat too yeah now you can't even trust your

1000
01:28:11,160 --> 01:28:20,200
neighbor are tyrannic war veterans still in the tabletop i don't think so i think those sad

1001
01:28:25,240 --> 01:28:30,200
i'll never forgive you w for this well there might be fourth fourth tyrannic war veterans there's

1002
01:28:30,200 --> 01:28:34,760
some there's a lieutenant with them i guess i feel like first tyrannic war veterans were all gone

1003
01:28:34,760 --> 01:28:38,680
by this one's like right we were veteran of one now you're pushing your luck i've been reading

1004
01:28:38,680 --> 01:28:44,920
a whole lot of the second war the fourth really um when was the date for the first tyrannic wars

1005
01:28:44,920 --> 01:28:54,120
it's 700s 800s uh m40 m40 yeah you know the uh specific date of when the first tyranic war

1006
01:28:54,120 --> 01:29:01,160
745 m41 because it is it does a lot of stuff that's actually that's quite a like a lot of

1007
01:29:01,160 --> 01:29:09,000
oh a lot of um in warhammer history it's kind of a lot of things happen in m9999 you know like

1008
01:29:09,000 --> 01:29:14,600
so a lot of things like it hits the fan date yeah yeah and in general like warhammer history

1009
01:29:14,600 --> 01:29:20,200
because of how the imperium works history is often forgotten and misremembered or written down in like

1010
01:29:20,200 --> 01:29:25,560
some administrative thing written by a man who's on a world in literally a planet that writes notes

1011
01:29:25,560 --> 01:29:33,320
so you can never find it so it is crazily how in a way this is almost ancient news in terms of like

1012
01:29:34,120 --> 01:29:39,800
again like you're probably right like not many of the current ultramarines are basically ones who

1013
01:29:39,800 --> 01:29:43,720
live through the tyrannic walks again obviously space means do dialogue especially because most

1014
01:29:43,720 --> 01:29:49,640
of them get eaten yeah and i reckon a lot of the imperium doesn't even know what a tyranid is

1015
01:29:49,640 --> 01:29:53,640
because it's like well they're not going to survive a tyranid invasion more than likely

1016
01:29:53,640 --> 01:29:58,920
and it's only a couple of hundred years old and dante's four times older than the first invasion

1017
01:29:58,920 --> 01:30:06,520
he's like get off my lawn you new kids on the block ruining my day in reverend bjorn is like

1018
01:30:06,520 --> 01:30:12,360
ah i've been around ages what's these bugs squish them hey in reference it would be like someone in

1019
01:30:12,360 --> 01:30:17,640
our history going like oh you know the um american war of independence and then the declaration of

1020
01:30:17,640 --> 01:30:22,520
independence and then you kind of go yeah that thing that you know like and then that's obviously

1021
01:30:22,520 --> 01:30:27,720
so many in a way tell me quite a few generations back so the modern people the imperial like oh

1022
01:30:27,720 --> 01:30:32,440
tyranny they'll be literally the wall be carved in marble and stone at this point that's how old it

1023
01:30:32,440 --> 01:30:39,080
would be to the imperials um speaking of i'm glad the old trains were such a snack uh because that

1024
01:30:39,080 --> 01:30:47,480
was a delicious snack of a little uh is there one other closing comments other than that one

1025
01:30:47,480 --> 01:30:54,760
one i like the ultramarines yeah i missed the first tyrannic war veterans they will live in our

1026
01:30:54,760 --> 01:31:04,840
hearts forever r.i.p uh with that being said though uh with that being said though uh we hope you guys

1027
01:31:04,840 --> 01:31:09,800
all um enjoyed obviously there was quite a little bit of a more of a short episode this time because

1028
01:31:09,800 --> 01:31:15,400
we probably overloaded a bit too much recently um but obviously we do like to cover the tyrannies

1029
01:31:15,400 --> 01:31:20,120
particularly this time with the release of their codex so you know there'll be loads of gorgeous

1030
01:31:20,120 --> 01:31:27,400
models coming out recently uh i hope elia has not bought them all immediately i i'll refrain i'm

1031
01:31:27,400 --> 01:31:37,000
buying star wars legion right now nord assimilator my beloved with uh with that being said though we
