Hello, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls.
It is Law Crimes. Hello. We should say Mr. Pancreas
No Work Colin will be joining us shortly, though.
Man is making decisions about his future. And
we, as functioning adults, definitely wish him
to get us a little bit into that before talking
about Warhammer Law on a Friday evening. But
tonight, boys. Tonight, I'm excited. I suggested
this one. Thank you all, all criminals who are
here. Again, if people are new, do join the Discord.
We are not funny, but we're still here. I do
have two apologies. One, the Discord link is
not the custom one because we haven't got enough
boosts, but I will see about getting an up -to
-date one. And second, I have a horse, folks.
I'm still not 100 % so sorry that you have to
listen to my voice like this. Yeah, sorry, Hal.
No, that's all right. What are we talking about
today? Oh, absolute cinema boys. Absolute God
tier moments in Warhammer lore. I'm so gassed
about this one because I'm a huge fan of like
just the ridiculousness of Warhammer. I'm sure
many of the people listening are, but I'm always
going to get when I say we all chosen a few moments
because we'll have three each three different
ones as well. Cause we've got some absolute God
tier ones from 40 K and horrors heresy. I will
say as well, some of these, you should go read
some of these damn books yourself. They are pretty,
again, we're very biased, but some of these Warhammer
books are incredible. I'm going to start off
with my contribution to the team, shall we say.
I will also describe the context between each
part, but I'm going to take us on a nice journey
to the Siege of Terror, where all happiness goes
to die. Siege of Terror is, again, the end of
the horror's heresy. pretty horrible i mean i've
been reading through it like a lot recently like
i do a series on my channel and man is it like
depressing um but it is full of some pretty high
cinema moments but i've chosen one from perhaps
the best book in the series which is from saturnine
andy i think you've read saturnine haven't you
and it's uh it's pretty damn good i don't know
if eli has uh colin definitely hasn't um Although
there was the announcement this last week. By
the way, folks, we're getting another Horus Heresy
book. It's not finished. It'll never be over.
Absolute win for Horus Heresy. I'm going to begin
with my offering. This is Saturnine. This is
kind of halfway through the Siege of Terror.
The Lionsgate spaceport has fallen. Basically,
terror is burning. The skies are... pitch black
dark except illuminated by fire and we join imperial
fist camber diaz who uh essentially is broken
down i think the context of it like the imperial
palace where this is all happening it is like
a countryside city and the entire place is like
just on fire burning traitor legions are going
around like roaming bands and going crazy and
we join camber diaz and some of his imperial
fists who are essentially choosing like they've
been roaming gathering like desperate survivor
groups and this is where we join the scene where
they stand before the eternity gate spaceport
and um essentially this scene i'll let it speak
for itself so i've chosen this offering here
it starts with diaz stood in the name of his
Lord Dorne. He brought his shield up. It held
firm, absorbing the first impact, demolishing
a roaring face. His sword swung, caving a world
eater through the chest and a throat. A chain
axe struck his shield in a welter of sparks.
I'm not going to do crazy voiceover of the entire
thing, but essentially I love that it's going
to get more hype though. He cleaved the face
and the shoulder of its owner. He hooked a keening
goat thing off its hooves and cast it tumbling
into the air. Blood sprayed, torn meat splattered
in the name of his Lord Dawn. His shield smashed
a world eater aside so hard it broke neck bones.
Yuck. I hate that. I hate neck snapping things.
It makes me icky. His long sword speared into
a howling moor, punching through the back of
the skull. It tore free through cheek and ear
and mastoid and... What even is that word? Ocipital
bones? Metal fragments spalled, glittered. A
falx tore a chunk of his vambrace. A blade cut
his ribs. He took a head off its shoulders and
sent it spiralling like a ball. A piece of severed
horn bounced off his visor. He broke a world
-eater's jaw with his shield and rim. He... He
broke a piece of his shield. Typical Hal. Wow.
Unbelievable. Absolute elder. And gutted him
as he staggered aside. He split a head down in
the lower teeth in the name of his lord, Dorne.
And it gets even more and more. He keeps killing
and killing. And it goes to Diaz hacked. He carried
a charging world leader over his head with his
shield. And he cast him off the bridge rail.
He impaled. He chopped a darting witch dog through
the neck and spine. Blood, black, and ichor filmed
his plate. He barely noticed the chainsawed gas
through his right thigh. Diaz kept swinging in
the name of his lord, Dawn. And every time that
comes up in the scene, like it just keeps, even
in the audiobook, it just keeps building and
building. And then I guess kind of even towards
the end here, it just goes, there was a carpet
of bodies, parts of bodies. Diaz ripped his sword
through ceramite and meat, spit a skull, sliced
a throat. In the name of his lord. Struck with
a captured fox. Another fox impaled clean through
his torso. The reek of death. Broken tainties.
Pinged out like bullets. The stench of blood.
The cloud of rage. A frenzy within him that matched
the frenzy he thought. In the name of Dawn. And
then it kind of gets to the end here. Which makes
me sad every time. R .I .P. my boy. Diaz struck
and struck and struck again. In the name of his
lord Dawn. Again. More. His longsword snapped.
He drove the broken blade into a throat to the
hilt. He punched. Empty -handed. Breaking face
bones. He killed a world -eater with his shredding
shield. Wrenching the puring chainblade from
the traitor's hands. Rotating it. Making it his
own. He swung. He struck. He made them headless.
Diaz drove the squealing chainaxe through a world
-eater's plate. A fountain of gore. Thunder.
carnage time rushing headlong in the name of
his lord blood flying bone snapping flesh tearing
diaz thrusting cutting gutting striking slaying
in the name of his lord god sorry it is and it's
even harder to do uh justice to that scene but
essentially the whole point in that scene like
the absolute cinema of it is the imperial fist
don't take a single step backwards and they basically
die at this massive gate while the world eaters
are just throwing themselves like and they're
just completely unheeded by the amount like plasma
and shots going into them but mr camber diaz
dies standing you know in the name of his lord
dawn absolute goated goated scene in scene uh
in the suit of terror and mr dan abner again
this guy literally cannot miss cannot miss it's
so good even um shiban khan and the other white
scars are like no no backward step that's pretty
good actually yeah we'll have that for the rest
of the siege nice one thanks we are not familiar
with the concept i'm gonna i might even jump
straight into my next one as well because i think
this one is a bit of a uh again i love i do love
horus heresy stuff i'm pretty My own channel
is mostly focused around kind of horror's heresy
because character development is in more than
one book, thank God, rather than just single
things and 40Ks offering. But turning to the
40th millennium, I almost chose Mephiston, but
I still think of this scene from The Devastation
of Baal following Mr. Dante himself. uh high
lord chapter master of the blood angels and the
context behind this is basically high fleet leviathan
the good old tyranids are essentially beelining
it for the blood angels home world and it's really
funny in the sense like it's not like tactically
sound for the hive mind to do this but they're
doing it because they realized the blood angels
are such like a pain in the ass so they're going
to go kill the blood angels and dante puts out
a call and he says he calls all the chapters
of blood to return to their, you know, essentially
their bloodlines homeworld and they need to defend
Baal and all the different chapters reunite into
like basically the Blood Angels Legion. But in
the 40th millennium, sorry, 41st millennium.
And this I. I've seen this so long, but I've
cut down quite a bit of it just to hopefully
get it out for you guys. I don't know if anyone
else will agree, but this one is pretty ridiculous.
So it starts off with... What's the one chapter
that turns up and Dante's like, I didn't mean
them. They suck. Is it the angel's sandwich?
Might be. One of them, he's not happy they're
there. He's like, oh, he's going to start. I
didn't ask you to come. Why are you here? And
they're like, because the sons of St. Gwyn. He's
like, ah, get them out of here. They're the ones
who like, they grab civilians and just drink
them every once in a while. It's like an offering.
They turn civilians into Capri sons, but full
of blood. It's good. Yeah, they have a, they
pissed him off. But it starts off with the scene
is 500 veterans sat in the chamber of the Red
Council, garbed in battle plate of black and
red. white and gold a diversity of livery that
could not hide their unity of blood from those
who mirrored their parent chapter to those who
far removed from their own traditions the scions
there the scions of sanguineus had come home
and this is where it because they're in the little
meeting hall and then they managed to like open
it up because again it's not designed for uh
basically a legion size so a lot of the architecture
has been improved shall we say they managed to
squeeze in representatives from like all these
chapters and then it just gets ridiculous so
it goes with a trumpet sang with heavenly notes
so refined all pause to hear it not a single
voice continued not from the most cynical nor
the most aggressive a choir of angelic voices
swelled over the main entrance from the mouths
of statues standing guard there a lead blood
thrall stepped forwards and spoke take your places
lords of blood lord dante comes commander of
ball master of the blood angels keeper of the
blood lord of the angelic host dante lord of
angels dante lord of ball dante lord of the firstborn
sons and then like the core goes on and on and
they basically there's like a whole essentially
i don't know it's like a whole theater of voices
shouting just go dante dante dante like the whole
time and then like a raid yeah like but then
like everyone else in the room is just like staring
like oh my god, Dante is about to come in. They're
getting a bit hype. And then it goes, the doors
flew open. In strode a procession of the highest
and the best the blood angels had to offer. The
exalted herald of Sanguinius, leader of the Sanguinary
Guard, brother Seraphim. He led the way. Dante
is here. All stand for Commander Dante, he shouted.
Though all in the room were already standing.
The Sanguinary Guard strode forward. followed
by company captains, ancient dreadnoughts flying
pristine banners, senior chapter servants, Mephiston
and the librarians, administratum, astropaths,
warriors in immaculate and beautiful plate, ancient
Horus heresy armour even on display. All the
precious relics of Sanguinius were paraded through
in a crowd that was caught in bated breath. God,
it's such a long one. Sorry. I'm getting through
it. Cherubs sang praises. Finally, a golden warrior
entered. Dante. His face, the mask of their father,
frozen in righteous anger. And Dante sat upon
a lone throne and stared out to the host of blood.
So pretty hype there. And then it gets even crazier
because everyone's like just not talking at this
point. And, you know, the cherubs stop singing.
And then he just goes, my brothers. Dante's voice
boomed. These artefacts that my warriors and
their servants bear date back to the time of
Horus's great betrayal of our beloved emperor.
These relics here, these suits of armour, these
weapons my brothers carry, date to the most terrible
war in our history. And these, and he points
to the Red Grail and to Amit's reliquary, which
has the last little feather of Sanguinius with
his last frozen droplet of blood from the Sea
to Terror. It says, they bore witness to our
lord's death for both our vessels for his mortal
remains. And they basically, at this point, they
all just, like, you can hear, like, they all
go, because a lot of them have never even been
to Baal before. They've never even seen, like,
their lineage. They go absolutely nuts. But they
can't, no one's, like, saying anything because
they're just caught, completely frozen. And he
says, no greater shock have the chapters of the
blood experienced than when our lord fell in
the... fell to the blades of his hateful brother.
Not when our forebearers were sundered from one
another's company. Not in those timings when
our chapters have faced annihilation, as my own
has three times within the span of my life. Sanguinius'
loss echoes to this day in all of us. It is a
pain that is immortal. And then he basically...
essentially would go to like he basically rounds
off his like massive triumphs he's like i fought
gas call i have seen worlds burn i have seen
chapters fall and he's like i have seen the ambition
of vain men deliver the innocent to the obscene
hungers of the endless dark which by the way
absolutely goated line um and he's like basically
the tyrannies are coming and he goes with uh
the tyrannous swarms will block out their light
you will marvel at the number of ah god so much
you will marvel at the number of creatures they
shall land upon these worlds and you will doubt
it shall ever end but i tell you this prevail
we shall and he slams his fist right into like
this perfect marble table that's in front of
him and he cracks it and it's the only thing
that cracks the whole tension and then it says
his red thirst spiked and it ripples out amongst
the brothers in this like a wave as they are
like it awakens all of it in them like goes back
and forward because they can sense each other's
like hunger and then basically everyone starts
going dante dante dante dante and they all just
start roaring dante as loud as they can yeah
and then basically he's like yeah they basically
like they're absolutely roaring it and then he's
like silences them and he just says enough he
says like we should now turn other we should
now turn to the matter at hand the destruction
of high fleet leviathan dun dun yeah so basically
it's a huge like ridiculous uh scene again i've
cut out quite a few parts of it there but because
it goes on for quite a while but essentially
you can just tell it's like um the guy hayley
who is the author he is basically like how do
i make this the most male coded like boner inducing
like a scene of all time how can we infuse let
us retake the holy land with just like utter
testosterone and like every speech from a movie
ever just put it all together i yeah i i uh particularly
think it's probably one of the greater scenes
in the like in the 40k specific parts in terms
like space marine just because it is and the
way they describe like all the specific things
about you know the chapter on bar and how it's
all like it's very unique to them and essentially
everyone is like you know interrupted by dante
but he makes sure he doesn't show his face because
obviously he's old man dante and he's like ooh
cringe but he makes sure to be like they they
see the mark of sanguineus and sanguineus is
like blood in like a droplet right on his forehead
and so they basically they're he even says like
they probably think they're staring at sanguineus
in some way more than i think he's him in some
you know he's him literally i'm him but um yeah
that one is uh he's also been in charge of the
the chapter more than sanguineous was 1500 years
he's been at it a while he's got more tenure
to be honest crazy absolutely i mean i that book
is devastation of ball is a pretty good book
uh in terms of like it has some ridiculous set
pieces and overall like there's even I can't
do it justice I would have chosen this one but
like when the Tyranids first land and they basically
gathered all the people who were like tribal
people on Baal and they're like yeah that's over
now and they all make them like line up on the
gun walls and they're like surrounded by like
chaplains And they're basically like, fire! And
the chaplains just don't stop yelling for, like,
a 24 -hour period, just, like, chanting litanies
and saying, you know, you know, die, you know,
kill the emperor, you know, and basically all
the poor Barlight people. I think even, like,
the ones who would have run, they already purged
them. So the ones who were at the wall are just
like, ah! They're screaming, and then all, like,
the Tyrians, like, are stuck in, like, a weird...
Do you remember Thirstwater, Andy, if you read
the book? Which has, um, it's like the little...
sludge that looks like water and ball but it's
actually uh an alien it's actually like a weird
alien thing so it looks like water but if you
try and drink it it basically like sucks all
the moisture out of you and they dig them all
up and they met like a trench line out of them
so the tyrannids start falling into it and they
basically just melt and get devoured but then
the tyrannids go we're tyrannids boys so they
start sending in more and more to the point where
they actually like they almost fill it up and
they can start walking on the tyrannid corpses
so that book is amazing by the way but uh yeah
that scene i think probably is it's hard to say
but it's probably the best scene in the book
just because it's basically you realize how much
the space marines are basically like gods to
even the other space marines so uh hard to beat
that one though There's also like every, not
every, but most of the assembled successors of
an entire primogenitor chapter. Like, oh, that
doesn't happen very often. And they're all here.
And it's the oldest living space marine. And,
oh, this is a lot to take in. Blimey. Gabriel,
Seth is smiling. What's happening with that guy?
I don't know. What's that for? We need more Primarchs
to fight with Abaddon. I mean, chapter masters.
We need more chapter masters to fight with Abaddon.
Dante would be a good. Dante does fight the Swarmlord
and, to be fair, does die. He manages to win,
but he does die. And then Sanguin is like, nope.
He wakes up screaming, like, no, let me die,
please. He literally is screaming, like, let
me die. Swarmlords have a pretty good record
against chapter moths. Even Marnius Calgo is
like, oh, my limbs. Please, no. That's epic.
Should we go through some donations? Yes, some
donations before we do my last offering. So first
of all, we've got... Colin, for the love of God,
you need to hit the gritty. Thank you for being
a member. You'll be in a hit, boys. You'll be
here in a bit, boys. DonkeyManUSA, five bucks.
Stream late due to how goofing to the emperor
entering the web wait. I was waiting for you,
brother. I was waiting for that to be the first
comment on the thing. Oh, this one's for you,
Eli. Michael Bissonette, member for 14 months.
Thank you. I love you guys, especially Eli. Well,
I love you too. Watermelon profile picture. Thank
you, man. The Dank Apostles for 14s are. What
happened to Karamazov and his pimp chair? As
far as I'm aware, he's still out there being
a menace, as always. Was it Sherlock, Obi -Wan,
Kenobi, something? Sherlock, yeah, Obi -Wan.
Clouseau. Clouseau is the other one. I can't
believe they get away with these things. No law.
I was like, are you going to do a video on him?
Like, never. He has no law. Coffee grounds for
snorting. A member of 17 months. Holy crap. Thank
you. Can't stay, but glad to have seen you. You
too, man. Thank you so much. Really appreciate
it. Big one here. James K. Thank you for the
$20. Very much. Both the saddest and funniest
moment from the Siege of Terra is made by Arkenland.
They killed my friend and my monkey. Wow. Feels
bad, man. Poor Jokero. Leave the Jokero alone.
RT2345. The absolute similar of Goj Bandai of
Rizzing the Daughters of the Emperor by girlbossing
gaslighting with his Rosarius. Trillia John Warhammer
moment. Sneaky Goj. That's huge. Kabanda's Mighty
Shlong of Sickness. Again, amazing name. Five
bucks. My favorite moment is when the strongest
bloodthirster, Kabanda, fought the fraud, Sanguinius,
and softened him up for the Giga Carcorners.
Crazy. I'm pretty sure he lost that fight. He
softened him up. Isn't it Cabunda and Angron,
Sanguinius fights, isn't it? Yeah. Last laughter
thing for the $5. Age of Sane, I'm ditching Emperor's
Children for the Necrons. Wow. Well, that's two
of my favorite actions. Necrons are the best.
Knock it on out. He's putting Eli down the middle.
I guess I'll continue our discussion. I'm only
going to do the one I need to see. My voice,
as you can tell, is not great, so I need to space
them out. He's been through it. I've been on
10 days of antibiotics until today, and I'm like,
I'm feeling better, but my voice isn't great.
so i wanted to talk with one of my favorites
of like modern 40k which is from the god blight
book series so there's three books and it's the
last one is called god blight and it's when the
death guard invade ultramar it's 42nd millennium
although they kind of tinkered with the timing
i think it's like 12 m42 so the battle of iax
gilliman is attacked by mortarian there's a primark
jewel and He's infected with this god Blight,
which has been concocted by the greater demons
of Nurgle. Who was it specifically who made it?
Oh, no, I need to look it up. It's been a while
for me. Because the trouble with Nurgle demons
is they're really, really jolly. They're all
jolly. Is it like a main character one? Yeah.
He starts really hard, doesn't he? I have a video
on him. I know who he is. We know who he is.
One of those fellas. I don't know if it's Rottigus.
It's someone. I think it's more of a what I would
call a frilly name. Kugaf. It might be Kugaf.
Yes, that was it. Kugaf. So he concocts a specific
poison specifically designed to kill a Primarch.
And it works. Gilliman gets killed by it. Unfortunately
for the traitors, loyalists have this super cheat
code called possess me daddy. So the emperor
possesses Gilliman's body. And in the process,
he basically possesses Gilliman's body. And not
only is it so bright that... Mortarion's a little
bitch and he has to short his eyes and go, Daddy,
no. Daddy, please. He also fires a shot of light
directly into Nurgle's garden, setting a large
portion of it on fire, which is quite amazing.
So I've only got a little bit of the quote because,
again, I can't say it very well and I can't say
it for very long, but I'll say it the best I
can. So hear me, Giliman's voice boomed through
eternities. The sword blazed higher until the
fire of it threatened to burn out time. I am
Rebute Giliman, last loyal son of the Emperor
of Terror. It is not your destiny to end today,
God of Plague. But know that I am coming for
you, and I will find you, and you will burn.
He gripped the sword of the Emperor two -handed
and raised it high, rising waves of fire ripped
into the garden. The great manse, a cry of rage
sounded, as a wall of flame hotter than a million
suns devoured everything in its path, finally
breaking and receding within yards of the black
walls of Nurgle's house. Its infinite halls shook.
Mossy tiles fell from the roof. Sodden timbers
steamed. This is a warning. The warp and the
materium were once in balance. For too long you
have tipped the scales. Understand that it is
not only the warp that is capable of pushing
back. This is not your realm. Only will is real,
and none may outmatch my will. Be assured, lord
of plagues, and convey this message to your brothers,
that I do not speak for myself. I speak for the
emperor of mankind. Then he was falling, falling,
falling forever, until his knee hit the ground,
and he woke into reality once more. Gilman opened
his eyes. He was kneeling on the ground of Ajax.
The sword of the emperor was buried point down
in the cracked earth. Its fires had turned everything
around him to glass. burnt out suits of armor
lay around him only he was untouched mortarian
was nowhere to be seen screw that guy screw mortarian
it's pretty awesome it is quite awesome it's
the really um the crazy i think there's one of
the crazy line in it which is like when gilliman
is possessed by the emperor it's like he can
he can see through eternities or something like
that basically it shows you for a split second
what the emperor can see And it basically almost
like he can see everything at once. And then,
uh, cause I think I did it. I did a video on
with a play in period. And the, the emperor's
voice part is always, is like, I think cause
more, cause you can hear it like alongside Gilliman.
So, you know, the emperor is like, not just Gilliman
saying it, it is like essentially the emperor
through Gilliman. And yeah, I do love the fact,
like basically when it's happening, like, uh,
Gilliman is like dying cause he's been poisoned.
And then what turns goes. what is that and you
can he like turns around slightly because you
can they can feel something coming in through
the warp and it's not nurgle so they're basically
like what is that man what is that guy's key
what's that pressure like why don't you hear
boss music uh yeah and with i did do um bad excerpt
on my second robute gilliman video and i had
fun with like the Emperor's kind of booming voice
in the background. And it's very monotone until
he says, there is only my will. And there's like
a flicker of like anger and emotion. And then
it's got Gilliman's overlaid on the top. I had
a good fun making that one. And it's always stuck
with me because like when I started to get back
into Warhammer lore, that book was like just
about out and it was just complete. So I managed
to get through the whole trilogy. I was like,
oh, this was really good. Oh, I like where they're
going with like Gilliman's back in the setting.
And it's only a shame that Gilliman got a trilogy
and the Lions only got one. It's like, come on.
Come on. We need more, please. I can't believe
you didn't choose a White Scars moment. But I
chose a con moment. So just for you, Andy. Okay.
I thought it would be too predictable. I've got
you covered. Do you want to share, Eli? You ready?
Yeah, all right. so i have chosen uh when the
khan fights mortarian and we can just jump in
halfway through the fight otherwise it'll take
like 15 minutes but uh the khan and his white
scars oh my gosh it's been a while since i've
read this it's in warhawk they are they just
landed to fight the death guard and mortarian
this is on um what is the actual location lionsgate
spaceport lionsgate yeah the spaceport Before
this, Jagged Icon throws a Leviathan Dreadnought
across an entire gulf thing, which is very awesome.
That was going to be my moment, but I figured
that killing Mortarion is a little bit cooler.
Let's kill him again. It's fun. At this point,
they've fought for a bit, and the Khan's having
a hard time. Let's just read it. He should have
been dead. It should have been over a long time
ago, with Jagged Icon nothing more than a smear
of... torn skin and armor fragments on the floor.
And yet, impossibly, he was still alive, still
fighting back. His arms must both have been broken,
his fused ribcage cracked into ribbons, his sword
notched and blunted, and still he came back again
and again. It was becoming almost painful to
watch the Primarch of the Fifth on his knees
again after being smashed halfway across the
open landing stage, struggling to get back up.
The blood trailing from every armor seal was
so profuse that you wondered how much more of
it there could still be inside of him. Entire
sections of his ivory plate hung loosely on sinew
-like straps, flapping as he staggered around.
And through it all, he kept talking. He kept
up the torrent of petty jives and slights. Even
when Mortarion ranged blows at his dented helm,
smacked him deep into the broken -up rock reeds,
the barbs kept on coming, sometimes acid, sometimes
brutal, sometimes merely juvenile. I'm trying
to see who's actually saying this. Said the war
hawk. You smell stupid. That's probably the juvenile
bits. I don't know who's talking to this. Oh
my gosh. We're going to pretend this is one more
Terrian saying. Just take the damn mask off.
I want to see your expression when I kill you.
Your stench is worse than that Ulanor. And it
was putrefying then. And the one that cut deep
ends the one that cut deep for all of its obviousness.
I should have taken on the Legion master. I should
have fought Typhon. It was childish. It was beneath
them both. Mortarion was beyond angry by then.
And I progressed into a kind of contemptuous
wariness. Greater things beckoned. This petty
brawl should not have mattered. It should not
have still been happening. Power still pulsed
through his system like raw promethium. The warp
still animated his every gesture. His army still
held their ground against a faltering white scar's
attack. But this was becoming infuriating now,
a maddening bump in the road that just would
not clear. So he swung back into the fight, two
great shrines, a gathering of momentum, and then
a truly brutal backhand slash with silence that
tore Jagged Eye's helm clean from his head and
sent his body arcing high. The Khan crashed to
the deck again, flat on his back, somehow keeping
grip on his fragile blade, even as Mortarion
surged over him, slamming his staff's heel into
his enemy's exposed midriff. Jagadai managed
to twist away at the last moment, only for Mortarion
to plant a vicious kick against his face, breaking
both nose and cheekbone. Half blind and groggy,
Jagadai lashed out with his blade, connecting
with silence and wrenching it from Mortarion's
grip. Letting the staff clatter away, Mortarion
drops down sharply, piling in wildly with his
gauntlets, slamming in punches at the Khan's
throat, at his chest, at his ruined face. The
clenched fists flew one after another, barely
warded by Jagadah's flailing arms, tearing up
the remains of that beautiful lacquered ceramite
and splattering the two of them in more gouts
of forged hot blood. The Khan never stops fighting
back. There's so many... There's actually, like,
dozens of typos in this. It's hard to read. It
was... It was becoming painful now. He caught
one more Tarion's fist on the fold. only for
the other one to plunge deep at his stomach,
bursting something within Jagadite. Tried to
rise, Mortarion cast him down disdainfully, fracturing
his spine. They were both roaring by then, Mortarion
from frustrated fury, the Khan from undiluted
agony. They had been reduced to this, sprawling
across a derelict spaceport like hiveworld gangers,
gouging and tearing at the body before them,
trying to rip it apart with their own fingers.
scions of the emperor masters of the galaxy panting
hard feeling like his heart was fit to burst
mortarian finally ceased the barrage the first
ache of exhaustion rippled up his arms his vision
shivered a little still something mortal in him
then after all something that could not fatigue
he got up painfully jagged eye still breathed
somehow amid the swamp of gore that had once
been a proud visage The air was still being sucked
in, bubbling feebly amid floating flecks of bone.
Mortarion limped over to his sight, hauling it
up again, making ready to end the grotesque spectacle.
I thought you danced, he said again, genuinely
mystified. You just took it. Did you lose your
mind? Jagadai started to cough, sending more
bloody spurts out over the ripped -apart ground.
His shattered gauntlet still clutched the hilt
of his blade, but the arm must have been broken
in many places. Only slowly, as he trudged back,
did Mortarion realize that the sound was bitter
laughter. I absorbed, Jagatai rasped. The pain,
Mortarion halted. What do you mean? I know, Jagatai
said, his voice a liquid slur. The Terminus asked,
you gave up? I did not. And then he grinned,
his split lips, his flayed cheeks, his lone seeing
eye twisted into genuine spiteful pleasure. My
endurance is superior. So that was what they
all believed. Not that he had done what needed
to be done. Not that he had sacrificed everything
to make his legion invincible. Even suffering
the ignominy of using Gallus as his foil. Even
condemning himself to the permanent soul anguish
of demonhood so that the change could never be
undone by anyone. Not even his father. That he
had been weak. The dam of his fury broke. He
hefted silence, two -handed, angling the point
towards the laughing Khan, no longer thinking
of anything but sending its tip spearing through
his enemy's chest. And so he missed the Khan's
suddenly tightening grip, the flicker of white
steel, the rapid push from the deck and the upthrust
of the masterful blade. The white tiger penetrated
deep under the single segment of Mortarion's
armor plate that the Khan had managed to dislodge,
fighting deep, sending a flare of pain straight
up into his straining torso. Silence's strike
missed its aim as he jerked clear from the blade.
Mortarion reeled away, blood leaking from the
deep wound, and then to his incredulity, the
Kong was clambering back to his feet again, still
bleeding, still damaged, but already coming towards
him. Mortarion, suddenly doubting even the evidence
of his senses, staggered back into contact, doing
just what he had done before, charging straight
in, trusting to his colossal strength. And only
then he realized how drained to the bone he was
by what had gone before. And then, then, the
Khan started to dance, not with any beauty that
had been ripped from him, but still with that
unearthly slipperiness, that mesmerizing power
of appearing to be in one place, inviting the
strike, only to be a hand with the way, just
enough to drop under your guard and slice a piece
of you away. He could still do it. He still had
something left. When, when we do this with our
ships, the Khan growled, no longer laughing,
now deadly serious, we call it Zhao. The chisel.
Mortarion swung his scythe clumsily and missed.
The dowel blade struck him again, carving a deep
rent along his trailing arm. The change was mesmerizing.
The con was still on the edge of death, just
one good impact away from annihilation, but he
was moving again, faster and faster, as his primarch's
physiology did what it had been designed to do,
keep him alive. Keep his blade working. Keep
him in the fight. Mortarion snarled, working
his scythe harder again, feeling his fatigued
muscles scream, even as his mind reeled from
the realization he should have seen through it.
He should never have allowed himself to be goaded.
Their blades clashed again, snarling in an explosion
of mingled warp detonations, and the two of them
both reeled away from the blow, barely able to
keep their feet. He was damaged. That had hurt
him. And the con came back quicker, his smashed
ankle somehow propelling him across. The erupted
ground faster than Mortarion could react. When
the Tao climbed against the scythe again, the
blood splattered freely, but it was no longer
just Jagatai's. Mortarion swiveled on his heel
and smashed the Karn away. That sent the Primarch
tumbling, but he came straight back again, lurking
from his catastrophic injuries as a drunk, his
devastated face etched with excruciation. But
still, fighting through the toll of fearful damage,
it was as if some malevolent spirit animated
him now, pushing his ravaged body onward until
it achieved the absolution it needed. The sword
spun faster, blurring across Mortarion's double
vision, getting difficult to stop. The two of
them traded earth -breaking blows, tearing one
of their priceless battle plates from its place,
smashing files, rupturing cables, severing chain
links. Their clothes were ripped to shreds. They're
finally destroyed. They're finely destroyed,
their raw sleeves explode in blood -mottled canvases
of skin -stripped muscle. Their pretension scoured
back to the primal truth that they were savage
weapons, the numbered blades of an unwilling
god. Mortarion was still the greater of them.
He was still the stronger, the more steeped in
preternatural gifts. But now all that he felt
was doubt, rocked by the remorseless fury of
one who had never been anything more than flighty,
self -regarding, and unreliable. All Mortarion
could see just then was one who wished to kill
him, who would do anything, sacrifice anything,
fight himself beyond physical limits, destroy
his own body, his own heart, his own soul, just
for the satisfaction of the oaths he had made
in the void. If you know what I did, Mortarion
cried out, fighting on now through that cold
fog of indecision, then you know the truth of
it, brother. I can no longer die. It was as if
a signal had been given. The Khan's bloodied
head lifted, the remnants of his long hair hanging
in matted clumps. Oh, I know that, he murmured,
with the most perfect contempt he had ever mustered.
But I can't. Then he left. His broken leg still
propelled him. His fractured arm still bore his
blade. His blood -filled lungs and perforated
heart still gave him just enough power, and he
swept in close. If he had been in the primal
condition, the move might have been hard to counter.
but he was already little more than a corpse
held together by force of will. And so silence
interposed itself, catching the cod under his
armor -stripped shoulder and impaling him deep.
But that didn't stop him. The parry had been
seen, planned for, and so he just kept coming,
dragging himself up the length of the blade until
the scythe jutted out of his ruptured back and
the white tiger was in tights against Mortarion's
neck. For an instant, their two faces were right
up against one another. Both cadaverous now,
drained of blood, drained of life, existing only
as masks on a pure vengeance. All their majesty
was stripped away, scraped out across the utilitarian
rock creek, leaving just the desire, the violence,
the brute mechanics of despite. It only took
a split second. Mortarion's eyes went wide, realizing
that he couldn't wrench his brother away in time.
The cons narrowed. And that makes all the difference,
Gigantite spat. He snapped his dowel across,
severing Mortarion's neck cleanly in an explosion
of black bile before collapsing down into the
warp explosion that turned the landing stage
briefly into the brightest object on the planet
after the Emperor's tormented soul itself. Goddamn.
Oh, man. I forget how good that book is. Man,
again, that whole book is good as well. jesus
the the siege of terror books are basically just
a playground for the writers to be like yeah
so who are we gonna have fight because i have
a free pdf from the internet but there's a lot
of uh uh there was probably 10 typos in that
that i read i don't know if that happens in the
actual products or these guys just find uh incomplete
versions but well my dyslexic ass probably won't
notice it but i still i still think in that book
there's like a crazy like line part where they
do mention how basically when they're setting
up the white scars like this to retake the lionsgate
spaceport they essentially allow some of their
own men to be captured by the traitors to be
interrogated and then killed so that they can
have the deception go off that the traitors don't
think that this attack is coming which again
is like a huge sacrifice to be like yeah it's
a horrible ending because obviously if they give
you to you know chaos worshipers i'm sure it's
basically a horrible death sentence um but yeah
man that book does rock so hard though i can't
uh if people do the seizure terror does have
some mid books but to fair quite a lot of them
are like again some of the best in the heresy
series just because if you let the writers have
a go and cook something although I wish they
had coordinated some parts more because Jagatai
Khan gets impaled by the, you know, the Sith
silence and then drags himself down it. And the
same thing happens to Nathaniel Garrow as well
of the death guy. I guess they didn't know that
they were going to do that. So Jagatai gets tended
to a little bit by Malkador, doesn't he? He comes
back in on a stretcher and he's a bit like, they
bring him back. They put him on aluminum rust,
I'm pretty sure, and bring him home. and then
he's just fine i don't think they ever explained
how he's fine but now he's not in the news in
the new art as well he's still got that eye patch
on where he's like had his eye injured so i'm
like i wonder if they'll retcon him to be like
oh he's only got one eye now well i say retcon
but we don't really know what he's like in the
code of stuff and then he could have a fight
with with um with magnus That was the second
time he fought Mortarion to viewers. I don't
really remember what happens on Prospero. I read
that, but... Mortarion runs away because he's
a little bish. Yeah, okay. My other two moments
are really short. Don't worry. Do you want to
do dinos for the next one? I was going to say,
yeah. Let's go through some donations. Staff
Sasquatch for $4 .99. How do you think the setting
would be if the traitor and loyalist legions
were reversed? Oh, he's talking about the, what's
it called? The Dornian heresy, basically. Yeah,
that's a classic. I think it would still result
in the same stuff because they would still just
become slaves to chaos at the end of the day.
If there was no chaos corruption on either side,
Horace's side would have won a million times
over. But there was. I think there needs to be
more grating flaws on some of the loyalist ones
just because they're very obviously. Conrad Kurz
and Angron are very broken things. The whole
point I think Horus makes at one point is the
ones who failed to kill very obviously did because
they were the broken and they're basically the
worst Primarchs in terms of fatal flaws. The
other ones are perfect. All of Semper's children
would have gone pretty hard though. Yeah, I think
some of them... it'd be interesting video people
like some only some of them traded places like
i imagine if like um i imagine there's a thing
about i thought ferris manners should have turned
to chaos at some point and then imagine if like
angron was the one that like died or something
in some way and then fulgrim loyalist sanguineus
falls would be interesting uh dawn isn't again
like an interesting one in terms of its concept
because again like dawn could absolutely you
imagine being in some way like the master of
it you know he wouldn't share it with horus in
some sense uh jagger like could have been part
of chaos too i don't know in terms of the corruption
part but i think he could have fought with them
maybe the death card one i could see a thing
of like as in mortarian doesn't fall he's not
like again like a good person but maybe he's
just like you know what Maybe he just goes, you
know what? Maybe I hate that more than the rest
of them. I think, yeah, an interesting one would
be Mortar and quite loyalist is a cool concept.
The White Scar Slaanesh Legion would be so good.
Absolutely. Good question, man. Bonnie cut for
five bucks. underrated early dan abner but book
double eagle has an absolute cinema scene at
the end uh i want to read that because i like
planes i love the navy i love it you're joe thank
you very much for the twenty dollars the whole
scene between dornis and guineas is so good how
no one notices a tear a tear from dorn rolled
down thanks back and saying leaves a bloody handprint
on the back thorn GW really should have had a
book on Sanguinius' funeral on Terra. That might
still happen. We're still getting Horus Heresy
books for Pete's sake. I know. Maybe the first
one is like, hey, it's a funeral of Sanguinius
and all the Primarchs there and they're all just
glaring at Gilliman like, what took you so long?
I was getting there. What is the Hispan book
even going to be from the point of view of? Is
it just going to be... It's going to be the POV
of some... I already have like four! I know,
but it's going to be a Salamander, an Iron Hand,
and a Raven Guard dying at Istvan V, probably.
Maybe it's more the actual battle, because it
kind of goes over quite quickly in the Fulgrim
book. It's not even the whole book, it's actually
just one section. uh don't go around usa my peak
cinema moment is the emperor entering the webway
and in the sunless realm the sun rose in the
past that is probably should have been one of
our suggestions there's a lot of big cinema moments
it's hard to choose just three honestly uh william
knight for 4 .99 got in a car accident while
listening to the podcast i was not a fault but
my car was almost oh sorry to hear that oh sorry
man Everyone give William some love. Yeah, give
William some love. Cheers. I was going to say,
we're not that good. Tybros the colorblind wake.
Thank you, man. Hashtag such is the power of
Nagash. And then why won't she come back? Wow.
Angry homunculus for two. I'm visiting my sister
in Birmingham. Send help. That is funny. Immediately.
Oh, dear. Oh, my God. Do you want to tell us
anything? Yeah, really? Thank you for the 10.
Damn, I'm late. The biggest depiction is when
Harlequins killed those custodians and pissed
off a lot of people. Yes, sir. I will explode
out of excitement if there's ever a large Corsair
release. Me too. Yeah. Those custodians, even
if it's not, even if they wrecked on it, I don't
care. It's a compromise, but there is the new
Mike Brooks book that's coming out that's an
Eldor Corsair book, so we'll see if that's any
good. He's decent. He's pretty good. Maples.
We've got Maples Scaffolder, two Canadian. Guys,
Andy isn't gay, he just hates aliens. Space King
reference, whatever I saw. Hate monger. Isn't
hate monger gay? No, mom. He just hates aliens.
very good very good also women women are basically
aliens to us as we know so here right here in
the warhammer community probably speak for yourself
you're married although um if you'd like uh because
i know earlier eli you mentioned about more people
should fight abaddon i've got a little bit here
to talk about one of my favorite parts is sigismund
versus abaddon from the black legion book which
is the second of the unfinished trilogy yeah
it feels like it's never gonna be finished even
though everyone really likes it yeah it's like
nothing good and for some reason gw i think it's
also like written if i'm not mistaken they won't
let aaron release it for some reason you'll get
another farsight book and you'll like it I assume
those things were like, it's the reason why the
third Beckman book hasn't come out because it
supposedly moves the ongoing plot line forward
or something. And therefore when the models aren't
ready, the plot line is not ready. So for some
reason they said like the third Beckman book
supposedly is they, they said they don't want
to release it because they don't want to confuse
new people coming to the setting, which is interesting
because it means it was like, how would you confuse
new people if there's a king in yellow plot line
which means what's going on with their are they
doing that for the tv shows like does that because
they don't want to confuse like people are going
to watch eisenhorn book and then be like what
the hell is this king on yellow thing would i
think they're not there yet but and not being
funny gw you had a book where fulgrim came back
as a clone if that doesn't confuse the audience
i don't know what was oh is he back is he not
he's only in these books he's now in a vault
somewhere what's happening um Yeah, I like the
second Black Legion book because there's a bit
where it's all leading up to finally after many,
many, many years, the Black Legion are formed
in the Eye of Terror and they leave. And Sigismund,
like a hound dog, has just been waiting and waiting
and waiting. And he's just there. And then they
finally get out and they fight the Black Templars.
And all the legionaries are like, what the hell
is this heraldry? I've never seen this before.
guys what is a black templar what is this i've
never like and there's that whole thing of like
black and gold reborn and there the black templars
are white and black they also have gold trims
there's like black and gold versus black and
gold it's kind of that that fun symmetry of like
ah the emperor's made a new chapter and it's
typically led by his greatest champion and they're
all religious zealots isn't this ironic ha ha
ha i remember back in my day the emperor wasn't
a god hypocrites um but i just like the kind
of confusion where they're like what is this
what is this i was a templar oh no these guys
are going to be annoying um and then eventually
uh sigismund and his greatest sword reverend
and bear in mind sigismund's like very old at
this point he's I think 900? I think it might,
it's the first, it's the prelude to the first
Black Crusade, isn't it? So I guess that's like
a thousand years, isn't it? So I guess Sigismund
got to at least a thousand something. Yeah, he's
like Dante age. I mean, I hate. It's a reasonable,
Sigismund's the best duelist to ever live amongst
the Space Marines. There's no one better than
him. He's never really, I guess technically he's
lost. only once yeah you can still lose and be
the best though yeah for certain reasons i still
like that exchange again from the siege of terror
books where khan fights sigismund and he's like
oh my god he's terrifying because he's so zealous
now he doesn't like he's like a void he's there's
this like the sigismund i used to like train
with is gone this guy's i'm khan the betrayer
i'm scared what is going on this guy's just like
he's just a machine of killing and he doesn't
even know it A black hole of hate. It's so hateful
he's almost surpassed emotion. It's just gone
to, I'm just killing. I'm just killing. That's
only directed. But yeah, so he boards Abaddon's
ship. The Black Templars are causing a ruckus
and eventually they have a duel and there's a
bit where Kion is kind of questioning Abaddon
about how he finally killed Sigismund and Oh,
he's like, oh, you got wounded in a fight with
Sigismund because he's a thousand son or used
to be. He goes into his memory and he kind of
watches, you know, like in Game of Thrones, there's
that bit where young Ned Stark is fighting Arthur
Dayne and Bran and the old fellow, the crow guy,
like, wait, my dad won against him, but he's
a better fighter. What's going on here? It's
like that scene. But this is the excerpt that
I've got. The Black Knight fallen, ripped apart,
his sword brethren gone or dead. It did not know.
I did not know which. Red staining Sigismund's
tabard. Red decorating the deck beneath and around
him. Red in Abaddon's eyes, misting his sight.
Blood. So much blood. Here at the last, he looked
every one of his years. With time's lines cracking
his face, he looked upwards at the chamber's
ornate ceiling. His eyes lifted as if in reverence
to the master of mankind upon his throne of gold.
Sigismund's hand trembled, still twitching, seeking
his fallen sword. No. Abaddon murmured, with
brotherly gentleness, through the running of
his blood and the heaving of his chest. No, it's
over. Sleep now, in the failure you have earned.
The knight's fingertips scraped the hilt of his
blade, so very close. Yet he lacked the strength
to move even that far. His face was the bloodless
blue of the newly dead, yet still breathed. Sigismund,
Abaddon said, through lips darkened by his own
lifeblood. This claw has killed two Primarchs.
It wounded the Emperor unto death. I would have
spared it the taste of your life as well, if
you had only seen what I have seen. As I stared
through Abaddon's eyes, I confess I expected
the triteness of some knightly oath or a final
murmur in the Emperor's name. Instead, the ruined
thing that had been the first captain of the
Imperial Fists and High Marshal of the Black
Templars spoke through a mouthful of blood, committing
the last of his life to biting off each word,
ensuring he spoke each one in shivering. sanguine
clarity you will die as your weakling father
died soulless honorless weeping ashamed and bear
in mind before this exchange where this is like
one half of sigismund this is just his torso
left um he he shoves the black sword to the hilt
through abaddon's chest as like a kind of sacrificial
blow but knows that he's going to get torn in
half by that by the talent of horus and he get
he's that close to killing abaddon but it's just
not quite enough because he's got the silence
he's starting to drink off the chaos power juice
and uh yeah poor sigismund he really gets him
his legs his legs are on the other side of the
room but he just is tall he lifts his top so
often just goes like you're you're basically
you're a piece of crawling and then he goes screw
you what adds to it as well is like post this
like the chaos like abaddon like they don't they
don't desecrate or do anything with sigismund's
corpse such as the respect that is earned to
sigismund that they simply send him back so that
they can bury him and his i think is it on his
tomb or his armor they carve like we are coming
or something as in like yeah the black legion
is like formed now and essentially there will
be black crews there'll be black crusading from
now on uh absolute crazy uh yeah i mean absolutely
yeah i think it's a good end to to season uh
i i have one i got one more and then eli do you
have a couple was it like two small ones yeah
two small uh i'll if it's fine i've got one uh
i this is a 40k specific one uh obviously we
talked a lot about like Primarchs and Space Marines.
There is no Space Marines in this moment. I'm
going to bring everyone here to the humble human
in the grim, dark future. This is from the book
Pires of Armageddon, which is following Mr. Sebastian
Yarrick. But this is not Sebastian Yarrick's
scene at this point. But the context is Gazkul
has landed. Mr. Big Boy in his massive war. But
this whole book, by the way, is absolute cinema.
uh massive what there's a bit of like powers
of armageddon isn't it an insane book to read
like just i recommend anyone go get it like it
is generally pretty i might be one of the best
ones out there and again this enormous war has
landed on armageddon entire high cities which
again just to let everyone know like shove all
our capital cities together in our world and
then that's one hive cities multiple hive cities
have fallen to orcs they even had to blow they
like they pumped promethean through like the
water tanks and blew up one just to like get
one section of the orcs uh this is next hive
which is falling and we follow a sister of battle
called sethano who she was part of the order
called the piercing thorn which is then it was
declared heretical and she had to like purge
her um order so she basically wears like the
gray of like she has no order but she is still
uh part of her sisters of battle she's quite
she's a veteran she's been around 100 wars but
she helps yarik in some of his earlier lore she's
rushed off to the next hive city and they essentially
have been shoving waves of the civilians and
soldiers at the orcs in this city to try and
hold them as long as possible to buy other time
for the different hive cities like it's going
to fall When Cethano comes up with a brilliant
idea, she rushes off and she goes to what is
an island in the middle of a lake in one of the
higher cities, because it's a prison. She rushes
to the prison and she begins this grand speech
about, essentially, it starts off with saying,
she basically shouts to these hundreds of thousands
of prisoners. It's like the prison of Armageddon.
She just goes, you are the damned. But even the
damned have their use. The emperor calls, and
you will answer. The orcs walk upon Armageddon
with impurity, and you will rise against them.
You will take up arms, and you will follow me
into battle. You will seek redemption in the
faithful death, and this is already more than
you deserve. So that's how she starts, and basically
all the prisoners just go, oh, she... But quite
a few of them are like... She starts chucking
out chants and she never stops. She whips up
all these people into a frenzy. And where the
prison is, it has an actuator lift that can lift
up only a few thousand at a time. So the prison,
on repeat, starts lifting up waves of humans,
prisoners, who have no weapons. they they blocked
off the lots of the streets in this high city
and there's an awkward like charging in the middle
of it and they basically go this is the main
high street go and it starts off with this um
the scene that's how the scene starts and this
is where we join from the perspective of like
a prisoner whose name is strybolt who basically
is like whipped up into like a furious religious
frenzy from her words and it starts with Some
of the prisoners broke and tried to run. So did
a large number of refugees. The Grey Saint had
foreseen the cowardice and placed enforcers at
the rear of the column. They turned their shotguns
on the deserters. They blew the heads off the
first who tried to run. The others, wailing,
turned back to the fight. The orcs waded in with
crude, heavy blades longer than Strybolt's arm.
The tanks opened up with their turret guns and
cannons. Their huge... Articulated claws swung
through the masses of combatants. Orcs and humans
both fell. The greenskins with their armor heavy
enough to save them laughed at the enormousness
of the massacre. Strybolt howled to drown out
the mockery. The bullets were thudding into the
bodies ahead of him, and he found himself in
the midst of a confusion of orcs and humans.
There was no order, only the cauldron of struggle.
He stabbed and slashed with his bayonet. He opened
up one orc's throat. then jammed the blade through
another orc's ribs. It struck in the bones. The
brute wailed but did not fall, and it raised
its own weapon. Shryvort leapt at the orc. Sailing
over the brute's cleaver swing, it snapped at
him with its jaws, tearing a chunk of flesh from
his right calf. He swung himself around its neck
and jabbed his thumbs into its eyes. The orc
shrieked. It waved the cleaver blindly, trying
to slice him from his perch. He dropped down
and rounded his shoulder into the orc's legs.
It fell and was trampled. I should also point
out, by the way, the waves of human prisoners
slamming into the waves of orcs just doesn't
stop. Like, it's to the point where, like, the
orcs have not stopped until this point. It's
the only time... When I mean, like, they threw
the... Like, remember, it's a high city. Like,
a capital... upon a capital upon a capital there's
like hundreds of millions of people here they
keep throwing waves and waves of people to the
point where it's the only time the orc advance
actually stays still for a moment and it keeps
going uh a stream of blood industrial size blunderbuss
but the ammunition is people just it is and again
all the while sethano is chanting across it like
hymns and prayers to the emperor which is driving
people into like basically their fury finally
like matches the orcs and they're just civilians
they just keep picking up guns and like weapons
like that are just left from the slaughter he's
got the whole he's marching that's that's too
positive to be honest um but uh strybolt uh stream
of blood splashed against the side of strybolt's
face as he snatched up the orc cleaver from its
broken fingers. He turned. An orc with arms like
tree branches had ripped the head off of an inmate
with his bare hands. It grinned through the fountain
of Vitae. It brought its huge shotgun to bear.
Strybolt dropped low. The shot blew apart two
inmates. Strybolt lunged through their falling
bodies. It took all of his strength to wield
the cleaver, and he brought it down on the orc's
wrist. He cut most of the way through the limb,
the hand dangled. Startled, the Strybolt was
part of a wave. The prisoners pressed against
the orcs and held them. The tanks were immobilized
by the crush, the meat clogging their treads.
There was no room to turn, and the cannon fire
stopped as orc soldiers jumped aboard to beat
down these gunners with indiscriminate aim. Strybolt
had a glimpse of Seth and their top one in the
tanks. She was a gunner down with her power sword
and threw a grenade inside the turret. The melee
obscured her from his sight in the next second,
but he heard the explosion. He jumped onto the
shoulders of another orc and brought the cleaver
down on its head, bashing at the beast's helmet.
On both sides, with thousands of meters in either
direction, the street convulsed with struggling
bodies. More orcs were arriving to combat the
still more prisoners. In this corner of High
Volcanus, the orcs had ceased to advance. The
orc threw Strybold before he could sink his blade
into its skull. He flew through the air and came
down on another orc that was spraying a cluster
of prisoners with flaming promethium. The orc
stumbled forward, and Strybold straightened from
his landing and jabbed the blade into the fuel
tank. It struck. Prometheum jetted uncontrollably.
He jumped to the side and pushed through the
crush, human and orc body shielding him from
the worst of the explosion. But liquid fire had
sprayed against his chest. He beat at the flames.
They seared through his prison tunic. His flesh
burned and the pain made him scream. But it was
ecstasy. It was absolution. Vision smeared by
agony. And he lunged at another wall of green
flesh. He clawed and beat at the orcs. Only half
aware of the shapes of fellow prisoners hailing
blows on the same target. His eyes were filled
with tears of pain and tears of fervor. But did
the saint see? Did she see the sacrifice? Did
she grant him redemption? The orc went down beneath
the fists and boots of a dozen humans. So basically
it'd be an orc to death. Which is hilarious.
We're just like bare hands. Strybolt kept hitting
with all the fury from his torment. He looked
about. Blinking away the tears, where was Cetano?
He had to see her. He had to know if he had emerged,
if he had earned a new judgment. A huge shallow
fell over him. He looked up. The claw of a battle
wagon reached down to gather and crush. In the
final moment, before the iron fist closed around
him, he shrieked his plea for redemption. Do
you see me? And his answer was only darkness
and the shattering of bone. Yeah. And like, and
I'm not joking. This goes on the scene as like
the, basically they empty the prison because
it's buying time for Yarek to fortify these other
hives. But my God, this book is just like the
amount of people who die in this book is insane.
I will say a shout out to, I will say shout out
to a few other scenes in this book that are just
worthy of talking about. When Yarek and Seth
are like, They preemptively get the Steel Legions
with them. They launch out to rush the other
hives, disobeying Mr. Von Strabs' corrupted governor's
position. This is when they realize the orc war
from Gazkul is on a scale like never seen before.
And they realize Gazkul is smart. So they realize
they're almost caught out because the horizon
is just full of orcs and they don't see an end
to it. They don't understand how the horizon
just doesn't end. with orcs and big stompers.
So they are running back to another hive city
when they get caught out by orc boys on bikes.
Yarek just yells at them, they have to keep running
or it's certain death behind them. So there is
a line of Steel Legion humans with lasguns running
full pelt towards a complete line of orc bikers
that just slam into them. And the only way they
can bring them down is by basically clogging
their bikes with people. and then they just cut
them down again about the whole time except i
know when yarok is like yelling being like jarred
for the air you know to war yeah and 40k and
they're just accident that's the whole the steel
legion just don't stop running like even if some
of them getting hit by the bikes they like most
of them again like the bikes hit them and then
they just like careen into like hundreds of people
but then they just don't stop running forward
uh yeah a few hive cities fall uh as a funny
moment where like they they blow up an entire
hive city uh only for like once they've done
it and they kill the orcs inside and all comes
out and is like laughing at them being like haha
and he has like a finger to his lips and they
realize like oh the orc gas call sent like his
weaker you know like the the weaker ones this
is not even the main war and then there's another
one where it's like they are they um essentially
are fighting in uh the final hive city they have
like they go in the underground like train carts
and they like pop out from um like different
holes and they attack the orcs like in the middle
of their own line uh when they talk when the
orcs seed this hive city uh yarik recruits all
like the hive gangers and basically the orcs
tried to follow in from what was like the underground
tunnels this time they're ready for them so basically
the hive gangers along with yarik and some of
the soldiers they just ambush them like throughout
the entire like tunnel system and then they drown
the orcs and some of their own men who can't
keep up but like there's like hive gangers who
are like like cleaving with axes made of like
gears and stuff throughout the whole book and
they're like again if you die you die and then
obviously yarik's final fight on the wall where
he kills uh ogle hard you know he gets his arm
and stuff like literally cleaved off but he rises
and cuts his head off that yeah that book is
insane uh so many absolute cinema moments in
that one but the prisoner meat grinder is probably
one of the craziest because again like this is
a prison for like all the higher cities there's
probably like hundreds of thousands of them and
they caught like the lift just keep bringing
them up keep bringing them up as like they literally
just hold the orcs in like the main street because
they're just there's enough bodies to throw at
them and they don't all have weapons so it's
absolutely ridiculous but yeah absolutely go
read pies of armageddon if anyone wants to get
more of that book because that is a legit um
pretty insane uh peak 40k book the guy who writes
most of the eric stuff that guy doesn't miss
like he he hasn't written a bad book in my opinion
so uh he even the earlier yarik books are pretty
like intense as well but that that book is like
it just shows you i i had one last scene which
is like it's when they are at one of their final
fights of the hive and they realized like they
thought it was the initial orc war and then they
see a second like you know mr president there's
a second orc war Because they see like, oh, this
is an orc what? And then they see the orc stomper
horde and the orc titans and all that stuff behind
it. And it's just that bit where the guardsmen
and Steel Legion on the walls are like, they
can't fathom what they're seeing because it's
just too many orcs. Absolutely goated book, goated
scene. Seth knows a cool character to write that
book. And yeah, I don't know what else. I don't
know if you guys have read that one. Maybe you
have, Andy, but it's... pretty ridiculous uh
novel i probably began top i would say top five
even i will read it yeah uh lots of like crazy
because it switches from like character perspective
throughout the book so there's lots of like small
scenes and like little tidbits of lore throughout
that that's you know crazy uh and orcs being
a big thing in 11th edition you know who sees
who will know that is my uh that's my last like
big one though uh i don't know if we were doing
more donors or for eli's ones or uh so we've
got one from artcliffe uh five canadian thank
you will you wild you say conrad and angron are
worse than lehman russ exists keep up the good
work boys yeah I mean, I don't really care what
happens to Liam and Russ because he's... Man,
that's like... He'll be back soon enough. Him
and The Lion have the most... biggest inconsistent
thing throughout Horror's Heresy. I think The
Lion's the one mostly, though, because he doesn't
have the same writer in each book he's in. It's
like a different author each time. Whereas they
should have done it more like Chris Raitt, who
got... jagged icon and the white scars because
he basically writes all their main stuff so it's
pretty consistent throughout uh which obviously
is it helps with law stuff oh maybe descendant
of angels got written and then they realized
they need to have somebody else write the dark
angels i don't mind zahariel in that book it's
a zahariel book though it's not the lion back
yeah that's lying yeah strange book strange i
i have two short ones if we want to do that do
you have another one andy or no i was i was thinking
do you want to do one i'll do one and you do
your last one it's not too long either sure i
have one quick actiony one and one uh one uh
in the feels one and a lot of honorable mentions
but uh this was on lore crimes recently kind
of my one of my favorite moments is on taros
in the taros campaign when the tao unveiled their
new fancy Airplane. There it is. The Titans of
the Imperium have been a plague upon the Tau
in many campaigns, bringing about terror and
mass casualties. So, using this experience, they
created something that could not only kill, but
hunt Titans. Upon Taro, space marines of the
Raptors chapter and four Warhound Titans trudged
through the desert. They were to punch a hole
in the Tau lines, allowing the mobile Cadian
114th to blitz through and relieve a group of
Elysians holding a key objective. The battle
initially went well, with the titans bringing
about complete and utter devastation upon the
Tau, as hammerheads fruitlessly fired their railguns
again and again. The space marines lunged in
under the spire, along with precision las -cannon
shots. The Tau reeled at the brutal lightning
missiles, and for the first time on Tauros, were
forced to commit a full retreat. They rallied
at the arrival of a fresh hunter cadre, but something
far more terrible came alongside them, something
the Imperials had never seen before. The Tiger
Shark AX -10 came in fast, skimming the desert
so low that it kicked up a dust cloud before
climbing and launching its attack. Missiles rippled
from its wings that pounded against the Warhound
Advance's primaries, causing its void shields
to flare bright, then cut out. In a gut -wrenching
moment, the fighter let loose death. Two hypersonic
shots flared from twin heavy railguns and rammed
through the Warhound's chest. The thickest armor
on the planet exploded and rained molten shrapnel
across the desert. The battlefield held... The
battlefield held its breath as Imperial and Tau
alike watched. The god machine stumbled and fell.
The invincible, untouchable marvel of the Imperium
was thought to be safe from all but a manta's
full brunt of fire, but this had been proven
wrong in a horrible and terrible moment. High
Prince Epstranet and the entire crew of Adventus
Primaris lay dead in their colossal coffin. The
Tau had a new tactical weapon capable of bringing
down the mightiest of war machines and the greatest
assets the Imperials had. Taur goaded. Tau stay
goaded. Tau stay winning. You're telling me Primaris
got killed? That's illegal. That's not allowed.
I think with like a... We'll save honorable mentions
towards the end, though. Do you have... What's
your next one, Andy? My next one is Grimaldus'
last stand with his squad. In the fields. Yeah.
So... To give you a little bit of a primer, Armageddon
sucks. Every time there's a war on Armageddon,
everyone hates it because it sucks really bad.
And there's a fourth war for Armageddon. Well
done, GW. They're marvelizing Armageddon somehow.
That's crazy. We had Space Wolves and Grey Knights
the first time. We didn't need it again, GW.
Anyway, so Squad Grimaldus. We've got Artarian,
his standard bearer. Primus, the last Emperor's
Champion of the Hell's Reach Crusade. We've got
Apothecary Nerevar. We've got... Surefire Bastilan.
We've got the last stand of the Steel Legion
and the Sisters of Battle under Prioress Sindel.
Long story short, they all hole up in the cathedral
where the Prioress has allowed them to make their
final stand. She's not happy about it initially,
but she's like, ah, well, if they were here earlier,
we would have had more of the chapel left. Oh,
well, they're pious, they're holy. Might as well
let them, because we're not going to say no to
Space Marines, because that's not a good idea.
The Orcs have a gigantic war machine that is
just tearing through what's left of the defenses
of Hell's Reach. And even though good old Tech
Marine, what's his name? Or Master of the Forge
of the Black Templars. What is his name? Is he
a V? I don't think he's a V. It's been a while.
It's been so long since I read the book. That
fella, he's all like, oh, I found this Ordonatus
machine in this bunker. It took ages, but I've
managed to decode it. And yeah, I can fire it
now. Boop, hits a big button, blows up the Gargant.
However, there's still a bajillion orcs about
to close in on the last position of Grimaldus
and his squad. So Grimaldus tells him, hey, you
take that machine away from here. Hell's Reach
is lost. go and put it to better use with the
Mechanicus. They'll defend it with their lives.
So, you know, they're not going to let this Ordonatus
god machine die easily. They're going to throw
everything they have at defending it. So go find
them. And then they make their last stand inside
the chapel. And it's... it's a bloodbath we uh
we see in the uh the short film by well in the
animated film by richard boylan uh bastilan is
shot in the head but in that in the book he's
decapitated by an orc trying to retrieve the
black sword from uh the empress the previous
empress chow champion uh what's his name bayard
bayard and so grimaldus goes all right primus
you're now the empress champion I know you're
a good swordsman, don't let me down. And they
have this last stand with Artarian, Primus, Grimaldus
and Nerevar. Before too long, I like how it's
depicted in the animated movie where, you know,
Nerevar's stuck through with a pike and held
up and pulls himself through to kill the orc
that gets him. Primus loses one of his arms while
he's fighting with two swords and then he's set
on fire. And then back to back, it's Artarian
and Grimaldus fighting the orcs as they're...
The sisters of battle are dead. There's some
still legionaries, two of which seem to have
fallen in love during the battle, who are just
getting gutted. And Artarian's shot or stabbed
or killed. So it's just Grimaldus at the end.
And then there's that really cool freeze frame
where he's got the plasma pistol up and the flag
of his battle standard is falling. And this is
the I've got from when that battle's taking place.
I have dug my grave in this place, and I have
a triumph or I will die. Five knights still live,
and they roar as I roar. No pity, no remorse,
no fear. The walls shudder, as if kicked by a
titan. For a moment, still laughing, I wonder
if the Godbreaker has returned. Until the end,
brothers! The cry is taken up by those of us
that yet draw breath, and we fight on. They're
bringing the temple down, Primus calls, and there
is something wrong with his voice. I realize
what it is when I see my brother is missing an
arm, and his leg armor is pierced in three places.
I have never heard him in pain before. Nero,
he screams. Nerovar! The beasts are primitive.
They are not devoid of intelligence and cunning.
Nero's white marking signals him out as an apothecary,
and they know his value to humanity. Primus sees
him first, two dozen meters away through the
melee. An alien spear has punched its way through
his stomach, and several of the beasts are lifting
him from the ground, raising him like a wall.
of the carnage. Nerevar dies like no warrior
I have ever seen. Even as I try to kill him,
I wait closer to him. I see him gripping the
spear in his fists, hauling himself down the
weapon and paling himself deeper in an attempt
to reach the aliens below. He has no bolt, no
chain blade. His last act in life is to draw
his gladius from his sheath at his thigh and
hurl it down with a Templar's vengeance at the
orc with the best grip on the spear. He dragged
himself down to get close enough to ensure he
wouldn't miss. The short sword bit true, sinking
into the beast -scaping maw and rewarding the
Xenos with an agonising death, choking on a sword
blade that had ravaged its throat, tongue and
lungs. With the beast unable to keep hold, the
spear falls and Nero plunges into the seething
mass of greenskins. I never see him again. Primus,
one -armed and faltering now, staggers ahead
of me. A detonating round crashes against his
helm, spinning him back to face me. Grimaldus,
he says, before falling to his knees. Brother!
Flames engulf him from the side, clinging chemical
fire that washes over his armor, eating into
the soft joints and dissolving the flesh beneath.
The orc with the flamer pans the weapon left
and right, dousing Primus in corrosive fire.
I am hammering my way with painful slowness to
avenge him when Artarian's blade bursts from
the orc's chest. He kicks the dying orc from
his broken chainsword. With vengeance taken,
my standard bear returns with as much grace as
he can be salvaged in his butchery, and his back
slams against mine. Good bra - Goodbye, brother.
He's laughing as he says the words. I do not
know why, but it brings out my own laughter.
Blocks of the ceiling are falling now, crushing
those beneath. The orcs in here with us, paying
for every human life with five of their own,
pay no heed to their kin outside damning them
by destroying the temple with them still inside.
Not far from the altar, I catch a final glimpse
of the stormtrooper and the dockmaster. The former
stands above the dying latter, Andre defending
the gutshot... while he tries to comprehend what
to do with his bowels loping across his lap and
the floor near by artarian i call to him to return
the farewell but there is no answer the presence
against my back is not my brother i turn laughing
at the madness before me artarian is dead at
my feet headless defiled the enemy drive me to
my knees but even this is no more than a bad
joke they are doomed as surely as i am i am laughing
when the temple finally comes falling down butchered
it in a couple of moments but yeah i think that's
a good point my god uh i still remember the uh
the last part of it which is forgive me brothers
as mr grimaldus the only one eliza's forgive
me brothers forgive me for living while you all
lie cold and still that is so like um it's so
like uh like tough that one because it properly
is just like Man, poor Grimaldi. I feel so bad
for Grimaldi. Hero of Hell's Reach, the crowd
cheers. If there is only one. Another good quote
from that book. I like that book. It's a good
book. Hell's Reach is great. Hell's Reach is
so... Especially the animation one. That could
bring a tear to a brother's eye. That one is
super sad. But, man. again like people they need
to read that one because it's pretty pretty good
uh i don't know maybe top five like one of the
books in general i don't know if my most narrow
mr aaron dennis thousand is usually topped by
uh hell's reach but i think it's the book like
i i always recommend to people if i can because
it's just we all know that people like the space
marines But it also gives a glimpse into just
how bleak the universe is. It gives you an idea
of what humanity is facing. It has really nice
character moments with, like, Andre and the guardsmen.
It has some Titans in it. So you get, like, a
little brief insight into the Mechanicus, you
know, like, and how the Space Marines and stuff
interact with them. You know, the next time I
am interrupted, I will kill one of you. You are
nothing. Little more than servants. You get these
really nice interactions between... how dismissive
they are, for example, the Mechanicus. You have
how other Space Marine chapters butt heads when
the Salamanders get involved. You get, you know,
Helbrecht basically abandoning his most highly
ranked chaplain to this doomed campaign as a
kind of teaching moment and him himself being
like, oh, I'm Grimaldus and I have a bad voice.
And you get like this sense of just how... much
the wars of the Imperium ravage those around
them and the scars that everyone carries into
battle. And I think it's like, I probably, I
think I watched the Hell's Reach Richard Boylan
animation once a year, at least, because they're
so good. And especially with the animation, you
see the visual style, the gothic nature. It's
a perfect microcosm of like the tone of Warhammer
40K. And I love it. I think sometimes with the
newer writers, they sometimes think because the
world is so established, they forget that they
don't need to reinforce how horrible the Imperium,
it just does not care for human life in general.
So I think a lot of that, we see that in some
of the, it's not really early books, is it? The
novels that always do reinforce that are the
ones that stick with you because they're like,
oh, that's crazy. Yeah, but I would say that
although the Imperium doesn't care about human
life, other humans care about human life. And
I like in Hell's Reach, there are bits like,
even there's like that really subtle moment in
the Hell's Reach animations where it's just before
this final last stand. And he's talking to one
of the Steel Legion officers. He's like, oh,
the bastards took my face. I'm going to return
them in kind. And then he looks over and it's
him and the other officer and she gives him a
kiss. And Gromadus is like, humans. they're always
confusing me but it's like you see these little
tender moments or the bit where primus has got
his hand on the the dying woman's like stomach
when she's like got her guts ripped out by the
orcs during the first wave of assault and he
doesn't quite know what to do and he looks over
to nerevar and he just shakes his head you're
like oh there's like these moments of like human
interaction with us there's there's compassion
and tenderness and and empathy even in this world
where The Imperium Entire doesn't give a shit.
The Imperium Entire is like, ah, this is part
of the meat grinder. But the people in the grinder
don't want to be in the grinder and they want
to try and get out if they can. And even the
people who are meant to die in the grinder, like
the Space Marines, aren't going to go lightly.
And that's kind of what I like about the setting.
Yeah, well said, man. Eli, do you have the last
finishing touch then? Is it the last one? Yeah,
real, real, not too long. This one is from Severed.
uh his name is alexandric and farguard oberon
get some more xenos representation up in here
um they just the climax of the book just happened
farguard oberon fought off basically what was
two can optic rates and this crypt tech and he
was like teleporting and it was this crazy fight
he was fighting these things with his fists and
he did eventually win and uh then they the two
of them have a conversation Well thought, old
friend, said Zandrek, with companionable worth.
You really ought to have rested more, but we
need to leave. I must commend your rather straightforward
method of dealing with this sorcerer's engine,
and it very much appears to have done the trick.
Dwight has gone off like a light, and his legions
with it. But without the engine, I fear the stability
of the planet itself won't last. So we'd be far
better off in orbit. Are you ready for a short
jaunt up to the Horactus? And for context, this
cryptic. They were fighting over this engine
that the Kryptek thought could return the Necrons
to flesh and bring their souls back and stuff,
but it was kind of more of an evil plot. Oberon
nearly said yes, but then he remembered the engine's
true purpose, or what it might have been. It
was so hard to recall now. But our souls, Zandrek.
The machine. It could give us our souls back.
It could give us our bodies. Please, Lord, let's
at least take part of it with us, so we can know
for sure. Oh, dear Vargard, why do you hold on
to such things? You must let the thought of the
awful contraption go. Zandrek put an arm around
him in consolation and continued. Let me pose
you this thought, Oberon, in the hope it will
bring you ease. What do you think caused you
to hold true to me for all this time, despite
all the power you might have enjoyed through
betrayal? If it were not his soul, what can love
but a being with a soul? Even if we all ceased
to be flesh and blood millions of years ago,
which of course I don't believe for a moment,
Zandrek actually winked, wouldn't it have suited
us better to live in denial of that, as some
fools might say I had done? Wouldn't it be better,
Oberon, just to accept our fate and enjoy immortality
for the everlasting life of merry campaigning
and as proved to be? Oberon stared hard at Zandrek,
unsure of what he was hearing. You old bastard,
you knew all along. I knew nothing of this sort,
old friend, but since you seem to be laboring
under some delusion that you are a soulless machine,
I thought I should at least make some attempts
to set you straight. Zandrek stood up then and
patted his thigh for Oberon to join him. Come
now, soldier, up on your feet, and let's return
to the flagship. If we're quick about it, we
can have this all cleared up in time for a truly
astonishing feast. Oberon, ever loyal. obeyed
his lord he would have wept but he had no tears
damn oh it hurts so good yeah but but this is
the and i think they like this is again a good
example of a lot of people are very dismissive
of like oh why i was just bad and everything's
bad all the time it's like yeah kind of but also
there are these moments of just like Not humanity
with a Necron, because that doesn't make sense,
but you know what I mean. It's like, oh, he had
a glimmer of his personality and his struggles.
Yeah, maybe Zandrick and Oberon do have their
souls. Who knows? It's the same thing of like,
it doesn't imply like, you know, there's things
like blanks who don't have souls, I guess, but
that doesn't make... them any less people, if
you know what I mean. I guess they're technically
constructs in some way, but they are imprints
of their former selves, but doesn't mean they're
any less real. It's the whole thing of like,
you know, at what point is a robot, I guess,
sentient life in some way, isn't it? Or even
the whole Amandira Kendall storyline where she's
the only sister I'm aware of. who uh because
of malkador shenanigans abandons her vow of silence
and she becomes an agent of malkador she becomes
one of his like three most trusted agents and
she starts investigating stuff and they're like
a sister who speaks this is strange and how she's
a bit ostracized from her own her own kind but
also she's like oh i'm serving malkador she's
got like the the aquila tattoo and all that stuff
and she has like an agent of the sigillite tattoo
but there's also like um I've been reading a
lot more of the recent Sisters of Battle stuff.
That's quite interesting. The Andy Clark Celestine
book is not good, I'm afraid. I went through
that and I was like, oh my God, it's dull. But
there are interesting bits about constructs of
different parts of her personality and who she
formerly was. This stuff is kind of interesting,
but it's just... Oh, and he's died. Oh, no. Oh,
no. Are we still live chat? Do you see us? It
looks like we're still live. I can see Andy's
freeze frame on stream. Oh, no. Okay. We're still
talking. Oh, Andy's back. Andy's back. Sorry,
the screen all of a sudden froze and went, and
I thought it was dead, but it's fine. It's fine
now. no we're still going we're still going to
chat okay thanks man thanks boys the og sisters
of battles books are goaded faith and fire uh
that series and we're both doing that stuff james
waller i believe who did the uh blood angels
and recently fire one of my honorable mentions
is faith and fire there's a lot of cool sisters
moments in that and the climax of the book's
really cool too yeah warhammer i do i like things
like this because men's this reminds you like
how cool warhammer is like it is pretty for all
the things that are like we obviously nitpick
around you know like oh things are like a bit
annoying or imperfect like overall the total
package is is unmatched from anything else so
uh that's why we're all listening and we're all
talking about it uh you know the law the lord
truly be you know hitting that rock perfect spice
level amazing stuff it is like that meal with
like them you know it is i i it's yeah sometimes
you obviously we talk about it a lot but i still
it's one of the few things i've managed to not
get like too much um what is it like burnout
over just because it's almost like there's always
so there's always something you can turn to and
then it uh reignites your your love for it absolutely
different points to refresh and be like oh i've
had enough of the imperium i want to learn about
some necron stuff or are we going through some
some astromelitarum or orcs or this weird new
vote on but there's always some kind of weird
new comment all right we're going to the warhammer
crime stuff or the inquisition like no one's
red yeah um I was gonna say it's funny that Colin's
on the thumbnail I don't think he's going to
make it yeah sorry do you guys have some honorable
mentions you want to mention I mean I'll just
say there I was going to say the seizure terror
in general just it can be quite a lot I wouldn't
recommend reading them one after the other necessarily
that quickly but as an overall thing It's got
quite a lot of like, it's just basically full
of like cinema moments with a grander picture
that is kind of unmatched. It does need to, I
would say it is a lot and it could be trimmed
down in places. But again, like as a collective
whole, what an incredible thing to manage to
put to the page is like a total package. I've
got one coming out of left field for you. I really
enjoy going through Warzone Fenris. And I like
the bit when it's the last bit, the last act
of Magnus trying to take Fenris for himself.
And it's Logan Grimnar going at him. And he's
got Ironwolf. What's his name? the iron wolf
character that's a y 'all that's now dead and
they've now had to update his great company in
the recent codex to do a new one um and that's
why like i got the art commission where it's
their charge he's charging up the hill and obliterated
by magnus and then he hits him with the axe of
more kai and because it's a cornet axe it actually
manages to hit him and then corn is pissing himself
and there's like this point where All across
Fenris, everyone just hears Khorne laughing.
Oh, no. Yeah, that was quite dope. And the art
of him just jumping with the Axe of Morkhides
in Magnus down the center. That's kind of cool.
He never gets away with it. Should we do some
donos and then we have the question of the week
stuff? Yeah, I was going to say, yeah. So we've
got four more donos. First one, really, with
the fantastic Khorne God PFP. hard to pick one
moment infinite and the divine up there the whole
book especially the theater coup also dante dante
love that book great book the lord criminals
aren't gay but two euros is two euros i was really
clever because he linked it with his actual donation
uh if your forehead got bigger i'd pop it like
a balloon wow thanks brother thanks for showing
our heart today in that you know yeah amazing
pancreas the silliest clown missing pancreas
network today thank you for the five dollars
carol finding the strength to defeat the lord
of flies on the surface of the moon is such a
cinema moment of sheer determination that's true
it is a cool movie it was it was almost on my
list but then i changed it but yeah it's great
great book as well no one is chomsky Well, hey,
boys. Hope you're all doing well, especially
you, Andy. One of the best absolute cinema moments
is definitely Bobby G waking up, peak. Yeah.
He awakened and his face is just like pierced
and he just charges into the Black Legion. And
then the Black Legion collectively shat their
pants. And then the giant started sprinting faster
than they could ever move. Damn. All right. We
have question of the week stuff. Before that,
I'm going to mention my honorable mentions. I
have Dinah's chain. They lose for Black versus
Altharius when he wounds the Space Marine slash
Primarch. Every time Fulgrim and Ferris fight
is cinema, even the first time they fight. And,
like, the bonds of brotherhood and friendship
almost overcome Fulgrim's demon. I didn't want
to read them, though, because I'd cry. uh some
of the monoliths is absolute cinema uh the books
dead men walking and desert raider all the imperial
guard sacrifices are cinema and again i couldn't
read them because i cried uh in dead men walking
there's this scene where this like 16 year old
kid or 19 year old whatever has to drive a car
all by himself into this giant pillar with full
of necrons very good and uh faith and fire which
i said already been fire school but question
of the week last week it was hashtag goward um
what was the actual question which is what god
would you be i think i was like a god of a new
thing i i honestly don't remember because because
all these answers a little bit all over i think
it was making a new god wasn't it a new god yeah
it was like if there was a new god of of not
chaos but a god of warhammer what would you be
Okay, well, we have at the Ben Zoo. This does
not answer the actual question, I guess. The
Emperor could return if a crew eats him and gains
his power. I just liked that. That was funny.
I'll steal Al's idea and become the god of therapy.
That way I can do the most damage to 40k and
probably IRL as possible. Wow, that's toxic.
Mine? Of pine and twine. Funny name. At my apotheosis,
I would bite off all Nergly Gergely's domains
over lethargy and peace of mind, like a squelching
galactic pustule burger. I have become sleepy,
the gore to bed. The snore is thine prayer. Any
vaguely comfortable horizontal surface is mine
altar. God of sleepy. Wow. And shout out to Mike
Loves Magnus Dust Eli's Bed. What? Crazy. Crazy
name. I'd be the god of mediocrity, bad jokes,
and losing. I've run some calculations. I've
made it the flip up. And my win to lose rate
is around 1 to 69. Basically, Colin, when he's
playing Fortnite. but a little better. I'd be
classified as mid because while I'm generally
liked IRL, I have life crazy. I know not IRL.
Can't tell if I'm Frodo or Gollum. You have to
meet to know why they're bad, but let's just
say I'd be a good every Thursday, Wednesday,
and Friday night, right after 1259 PM. Martyr
boy, Breton, mandatory Breton reference. Crazy
comment. Unbelievable. Jesus. But yeah, there's.
no no only one of those comments like really
answer the question from for me i think maybe
the uh maybe maybe the stream is having a bit
of struggle here people are saying they think
they're having a stroke the internet might be
uh going in that's what i think i think it was
from me reading the uh the silly oh i thought
it was multiple things i wasn't sure what we
were hearing either We have a new question of
the week, though, which is, it was going to be
hashtag cinema because it is such a good topic.
Tell us, guys, your absolute cinema moments that,
yeah, it could be something we mentioned today
or ones which are absolutely the greatest scene
in Warhammer 40K or 30K or anything, fantasy,
whatever it is for you guys. You know, hashtag
cinema. Put them in there. And again, we'll probably
read them out on the next podcast so we get to
even have more. incredible cinema moments uh
we'll say thank you everyone who did the donations
throughout the stream that was really obviously
very generous thank you so much um i'm not sure
what we're doing next week we might have more
of a uh discord help on the next one and let's
not forget to say rest in peace colin uh no idea
where he is he's gone missing he's even on the
thumbnail disgraceful it's shameful i know thank
