Hello, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls.
Welcome back to Lore Crimes. Got to say, today,
boys, positivity, you know, positivity, all the
love, all the goodness, a bit of a celebration.
Usually this was our videos of, you know, we
listen and we don't judge. But today we don't
even have to do anything that bad because it's
all, you know, today was about. What's the taste
topic again? It was your most positive Warhammer
experience. All of us lot here are literally
employed to talk about Warhammer. So we have
very positive experiences with it all the time.
Maybe we should start with just us four going
around. Andy, what's a few positives of Warhammer
that you've experienced over the years? I don't
know if it's like I haven't had a thought about
ranking it. But one thing that was good was the
other week I went to Chris Peachy Peach's PeachCon.
And that was really nice seeing everyone like
it's its second year. It was for this year. People
could turn up and get entry or they could be
Patreons. And it was a really nice like everyone
pitched in. There was a community about it. It
wasn't exclusively Warhammer, but there was obviously
a lot of Warhammer people. yeah i i think for
me it was it was a case of like every time i
get to hang out with people in the community
that's great also i think our trip to ireland
was great just like all the boys together smooching
in the back rooms and uh just having a good time
And on that note, Eli... And if you're a good
little boy and go to bed on time, the rabbit
and the fairy will pay you a visit. And on that
note, Eli, your most positive moment? Well, probably
assaulting Hal. Jesus Christ. People are saying
clip that right now. That's crazy. A decent amount
of, like, good, long -lasting friendships from
Warhammer, of people I met when I was, like,
10 years old, and I'm still friends with them,
and I still play Warhammer with them. When I
was a little kid, it was a really great community
to be a part of, to go play in my local game
store, meet a lot of people and just play games,
lots and have lots of fun. Lots of tournaments,
lots of good memories there. The, like, big apocalypse
games. were always cool when it'd be like 10
15 people playing one big giant warhammer game
those are always awesome uh yeah it was it was
a it was a nice like uh special interest to have
as a junior high nerdy kid it was great and it
still is quite great colin please share uh i
hate to kind of go with the crowd on this one
but you know i didn't mean to meet a lot of cool
people you fellas you know that's all that's
been great you know this lore crimes is wonderful
uh i mean other people you know i've been on
a couple trips with you know arthur bones and
uh the crack duck and mishmash there too uh that
was fun and you know just otherwise other people
like a couple times meeting people was like i
i used to watch you Like, you know, Cody, but
I say used to I still do like Cody Bond. Yeah.
Don't know how the fuck I pulled that one out
still without kind of just sit in the corner
giggling over like, oh, fucking shit. I don't
know what you're doing that with you. It is.
It has been wonderful for that. Oh, I still shocked
at how tall Bricky is in person as well. That's
crazy. I didn't realize he'd be that, you know,
that huge, you know, God. I kind of have two
answers. Again, not like one for the... Actually,
we'll be sharing loads throughout the episode.
We'll be sharing loads all right, buddy. Jesus.
Jesus Christ. Making me blush. We will say thank
you everyone in the Discord particularly as well
because a lot of your responses... Yeah, a lot
of them... Go join the Discord. Go join the Discord
if you want. We're going to be sharing all that
throughout the episode. I would say... I have
kind of two, which is a general one, which is
like, I would say Warhammer scratches a certain
itch in the sense of, you know, like something
is either like super high brow all the time,
but you're not in the mood. Warhammer is all
that thing where like, it can be that. And then
it can also just be grown men yelling while they
throw themselves at. uh you know aliens that
go faster because the speed paint is red you
know like it like it's it's stupid it's stupid
but then it's also uh full of incredible depth
so i would say warhammer in itself is a pretty
you know again i i came from another franchise
of liking things like star wars or elder scrolls
or like loads of other lore things i've probably
been into it and then it just doesn't nothing
else competes like warhammer does for that And
then I do have the same answer as everyone else,
which is you get lots of very nice people too.
Luckily, Warhammer's a nice community where everyone's
in on the joke, if you know what I mean. No one
is really malicious other than people who represent
certain architectural things. I don't know. I
don't know. The lightning stripes just mean they
really like ACDC. Yeah. yeah not starting any
beef or anything but as in like you know everyone's
cup of tea whatever it is but uh as in like most
people are generally like not many people are
dickheads uh which is quite nice and then um
yeah generally like it's one of the things where
like i feel warmer people are more like in lots
of other things it can be quite like you know
like oh you know if you didn't know that thing
or like you know basically there's a lot i could
be a lot of um a lot but you know someone knows
more than someone else sort of thing but in warhammer
no like there's four of us who do this for a
living there are people who most definitely know
more than us like it's just so like in a sense
of you know there's all three of them yeah like
they're like even we do these quizzes you can
tell like we all have like basically we're all
good at like either one certain thing so as in
there's no like loading over people for it we
when we went to the warhammer fest quiz and we're
like ah they stole our idea we'll do the quick
and then it was us and warrior tier was a bit
further forward. It was us and Ed being like,
I have no idea what the answer to this question
is. We were just there like, what the hell is
going on? We know about Warhammer. Why can't
we answer any of these questions? It was quite
embarrassing. Sometimes you get hit with what
is the serial number of the first Eldar model
for a wave serpent ever produced? I'm like, yeah,
sure. Let's go with eight. Yeah. A lot of it
is like, you know, with Warhammer, there's always
someone who knows more than you, so no one can...
and everyone is at some point even now like just
a complete noob in one area so uh which means
there's always more to learn about it which makes
it fun uh there's probably too much warhammer
to be honest but let's be honest but uh you know
it's a gift that keeps on giving it's not perfect
by any means but uh if it was perfect then i
think it would be more imperfect in a sort of
bizarre way but um yeah i just you know lots
of cool people we're into we're all conjoined
together to like this really really god i can't
speak this really weirdly cool thing so yeah
love it uh we do again thank you everyone who
joined the discord because we have lots of your
amazing comments because we asked you the exact
same question and we're gonna go through them
and well let's just see what we've got we it'll
be a surprise i think to a few of them but uh
we're gonna go ahead and read on. This is my
terrible gameplay from ages ago, so please judge
away I Was Rusty once again. I think, is it,
we'll start with we'll start with Calling, because
it's I think the first few are more up your alley.
From there, the first one is by Mailman. I need
to not look at give a fret or someone from Aqua
Teen Hunger Force jump in the goddamn air conditioner.
I can't hear what you're saying anymore. What
is he talking about? Whatever Eli said. Fred
from Scooby -Doo banging the cheese stack or
whatever it was called. What is going on? Move
on. That cheese sandwich thing. Everything reminds
me of her. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, it's
like Fred pumping. Was that like an egg? I miss
her. I don't know, bro. What is it called, Annie?
Tell the chat what it's called. I am so lonely.
Warrior Tear told me to go to this place where
they serve chopped cheese. They're in America.
All the other meme creators fear me. And for
like a month, they're going to be in London.
So he's like, dude, out of the blue, he's like,
dude, get a chopped cheese. I'm like, what the
hell is this? What is going on? I'm having an
aneurysm. Chad, look up a chopped cheese and
tell me it doesn't make you active. All right?
He only needs to go in the doghouse. Anytime
I see a beef sandwich. Wife has been gone for
one day and I'm already feeling it. Jesus Christ.
I will now read the first segment. Go for it.
A mailman, Horace Heresy hater. Real. So real.
Send suspicious mail to the Horace Heresy. I
think it would actually be my first spearhead
game. I was playing against one of my teachers
in our tabletop after school club. I was playing
Skaven. He was playing Flesh Eater Courts. Two
real armies. We had the rules, but we didn't
have any of the cards like objectives and the
Guyron twist, which meant that by the end we
barely had any models left and called it a draw.
I think we also had pizza in our final session.
It was a pretty fun time. That was nice. Sounds
like a very nice way to get into Warhammer and,
you know, a nice core memory to have for it.
Is it offered in schools now? That would be crazy.
Some schools have like tabletop clubs. Oh, I
want to wedge in one of my own again. Sorry,
they gave me a reminder. One time when we were
like 12, the hobby store that we played at would
let us stay past hours after they've locked up.
All you had to do was lock the door on the way
out. We played like a 2v2 with my other buddies,
and we were there till like midnight, just downtown
in this hobby store, and then when all the lights
turned off, we just made it night fighting. Anyways,
that's just a nice memory. That is epic, to be
fair. I mean, I'll say, having to do it in your
school would be pretty damn cool. Yeah, I'd be
pretty freaking down for that. People still run
chess clubs, so surely they've already got an
ample audience to expand into, if you know what
I mean. We could do chess more exciting chess.
Or AOS or whatever, if not chess with extra steps,
surely. yeah the school budget going towards
that my life is complete shout out to your first
game of something also not being introduced to
you by a miserable human being that's a that's
a story for a more negative time i still remember
my first ever game is like you know like you
can go to the warhammer shop and they'll teach
you i went when i was pro i think i might have
been like 10 years old and i do remember it was
like battle of mcragg just come out and we had
models from that and i i don't remember like
doing well or anything or understanding even
what was going on but i still remember like walking
away from the shop and i had like my first codex
and i used to like i used to read it for like
absolutely hours because i was like this is the
coolest thing i've ever seen and i didn't even
i don't even know who i paid i think i'm i worked
it out like i might have painted my guys as silver
skulls or yeah just like just by accident as
in terms of like i just thought they looked cool
and i didn't know anything anymore but i still
like and me and my friend we were both playing
with like again this is before primaris so the
our space marines are like retro now and i was
really proud because i had like the company heroes
box you know it remembers the old company hero
box and they're like the champion with like the
sword and the shield and i was like man this
is cool i paint i don't know where they went
though unfortunately those models but uh very
very cool if people get to especially i think
some of the viewers unfortunately some of you
i think i found out like some of you which is
crazy which are they wouldn't have been born
like by the time like we played our first game
yeah now they have which is hilariously embarrassing
Do you want to do the next one? Oh, I got to
take this next one. I read through it, and boy,
this man got me excited. Also the name Borborgimus
Rumblesnort. That's just fun to say. Back in
2017, I stumbled across roleplay Dark Heresy
on YouTube. Although I'd been to Warhammer prior
due to this, due to the Dawn of War series, this
got me wanting to play. So I jumped on an LFG
Discord and applied for a 1D game. Been hanging
out with the same group of players ever since.
Currently we're on Death Watch and I'm playing
in Ironhand's Tech Marine. Yeah. Galeth in reference
to the Worker of Secrets. Shout out to the Madhouse.
Infinity Blade reference in 2025. Wow. Wow. That's
a blessing. That's a blessing right there. I
will never forgive Epic Games for annihilating
that game and then putting the Infinity Blade
as a Fortnite's Easter egg for like one match.
I must visit Epic headquarters. Every Epic game
that was. Holy cow. Is that the... If we do one
of the RPG ones on Lore Crimes, I would be unhinged,
let's just say. uh we i was so down to give that
a go like we do a campaign or something i'll
say for you guys though like is that actually
i found it andy though you're do you were you
into warhammer when you were like a kid as well
or did you well later the the trouble i had was
i lived on an island so like i only had access
to like the starter box of ultramarines i didn't
know there was books i didn't know there was
a tabletop game i thought you just like collected
the armies and displayed them because i didn't
like we didn't have codex as you could buy or
any of that kind of stuff unlike henry who grew
up in jersey and they had the actual stock of
debts um but no like it was it was only when
i got like older then i was like wait there's
books and yet you can you can go pew pew with
the soldiers and then then i learned And then
he made a career. What a baller. What a baller
indeed. Do you want to do the next one there,
Colin? Yes, sir. And funny random name. Alright,
real. Honestly, Lore Crimes, and ironically enough,
Colon and his not -so -great pancreas. Just listening
to some hilariously hot takes in Lore Crimes.
Helps with my anxiety and mental state. Glad
to give you something to go through, Chief. I
would say a lot of people who are... I've had
it through talking to other YouTubers as well.
A lot of people who generally are in the community
either have obviously had an experience... I
mean, who hasn't, to be fair? What do they call
it now? A little... Was it mental ill or something?
A little... little crisis as they say uh or either
i've been like obviously for people who are also
not in is in the same vein but as in people who
are neurodivergent as well being in uh wallhammer
communities or just getting into wallhammer just
is like a sort of thing that helps bring a lot
of people either out of their shell or brings
them into comfort i think because i think even
between my experience of like i went from someone
who i think are the only person who was into
warhammer to then i've now slowly corrupted like
like a bunch more people to the point in which
i'm like five or six people in uh or and i've
also taught a few games to other people like
new guys as well and i said like even people
who like you think are shy but like once we you
know something like once you're doing something
it's like you're like you're not like you know
you're not face to face talking someone you're
actually doing an activity calm down eli uh and
then uh so you know as like it can bring so i
guess for the for the younger guys in the audience
though it can really if you haven't had like
a go on the tabletop it's one of those things
where it will like bring out your confidence
more because you kind of you will go have to
go out you know put yourself out there you've
got to meet up with people we have to establish
uh in some way like i mean not really it's not
a crazy big thing but you know you in playing
the game makes you bring out like in some version
of yourself you know the better version of you
that was more talkative and again nothing wrong
with you know having fun playing showing off
all your painted models all that good stuff man
i'm waffling a lot sorry i do i just uh i don't
know i've for someone who's i've taught warhammer
a few times to new people and it's really i've
enjoyed the fact that i've seen people who i
have I guess you perceive them as shy. They've
actually not been shy at all when they're doing
something like Warhammer because you're, again,
you're rolling dice, you're concentrating, you're
playing a game. So absolutely, guys, I hope everyone
else gets to have that fun experience with other
people as well. Yeah. There's one more, I think,
for Colin, if you want to take that one. Sure.
Cereber. CF discord tag. Hell yeah, brother,
for democracy. So for me, it's a bit personal,
but I suppose I still remember the day I finished
painting my first model as a Qatari Ranger. The
realization that I created this thing that was
mine and that I could see and enjoy every single
day that I was capable of doing again and getting
even better. That moment has been the most positive
by far. That is a nice little moment. And I have
to give you props because if the first model
I ever painted was Admech anything, I would have
quit the hobby. That is quite impressive to start
with. I know that's cute though. That's really
sweet. What's the first model you guys painted?
An Eldar Viper. A Bealtan Eldar Viper. I forget
because I got two of those. Do you remember those
old kits that had three push fit models and then
six paints in it? I got the Space Marine Primaris
one and the Stormcast one at the same time and
I kind of painted them at the same time. cool
i don't remember which of the two kits i started
with six paints luxury broken record here i had
the free paints ultramarine starter box where
they're all there and they're all in the same
pose and it's blue yellow and i think green for
the base green bases the green bases are so awesome
Christ. Green on, on my mantelpiece, all 12 of
the same space Marine altering color styles.
I do like that. He says it was, he said the realization
that I created this thing and that it was mine
and that I could see this every single day. And
I was capable of doing it again and getting even
better. Yeah, man. That's really, that's, I like
that. I must admit one thing I do want to do
on probably my second channel is be like, oh,
now I'm an adult. I can like afford the paints,
afford all the accessories. But like it's been
about 20 years since I've actually like gotten
all the materials together and like made a mini,
like a properly done mini. And I haven't done
that in 20 years. I'm like, I wonder how good
I could make it with my lack of skill. abundance
of resources comparatively to back in the day
was like we have to paint them blue because that's
the only color you have um so yeah i'm looking
forward to that when i have when i have time
i'll do that i'll get back into the painting
and it'll be fun there's something about like
because my friend said he finally like he finally
finished like painting wise his first army as
in like he's had one for many many years but
painting wasn't really his thing and he finally
finished it for a little like mini you know between
friends ornament and he said he felt quite emotional
because it was like it was like an accumulation
of all that like you know effort work and then
as it's all like like a whole if an army's finished
and it stands together and it's yours it does
feel really really good special yeah how many
armies do you have eli Next question, please.
Necrons, Tau, Eldar, Slaanesh, Alpha Legion.
And lots of other Lord of the Rings as well.
I guess I have a lot of general Chaos stuff.
We're not counting Lord of the Rings. I guess
like five. Five Arby's, Christ. They're not all
painted though. The Necrons are fully painted,
Alphalician's painted, and Bruce Tillich are
like quarter painted, not gonna lie. That's not
bad. So before we go to the next set though,
there's a few thousand pounds in there. Don't
worry about it. Don't worry about it. Before
we get to the next set though, we do have some,
I think we have a few donations to go through.
I'll start us off. Pancreas, Sicilius, Clowness.
Stream late due to goon hailing to the fall of
the Eldar. I know what you meant. Words. Another
one. The actual regular. Five bucks. Thanks,
man. Stream late because how there's a gooning
on the astral plane. Wow. murdering your loved
ones at a blood sport. I did promise that. Have
a busy weekend. For those who don't know, Colin
put a comment straight after Hal did. They're
like, hey, put your favorite moments here. And
he was like, if you put paragraphs in an essay,
I will just murder you all. And it had like 15
elf emojis. I was like, wow. A lot of emojis.
Want this one, Guy? Sure. Diveros, the colorblind
way thing for the $2. Eating a chocolate muffin
right now to flex on Colin Hart. The flex is
not eating the food. I can have whatever I want
because I have an insulin pump. Now, the flex
on whether it digests properly, that could be
a different question because, brother, the war
is going to rage later. A storm is on the horizon.
Hashtag the bowl test. Benadryl for five. The
first time I went to a hobby store to buy a mini,
I heard one of the tabletop players say, he's
pulling his pants down in front of a kid. You
should definitely mix Sprite and liquid Benadryl.
Don't do that. Bucket of steel cable. This is
$6 .99 Canadian. Colin, if you had the opportunity
to smash slash be smashed by Marathi, but you
also had to smash a Tyranid at the same time,
which Tyranid would you pick? I'd probably cheat
and pick a Genestealer. Wow. Which stage? I mean,
ideally one of the ones that is indistinguishable
from people. but you know for that dark elf he's
not going for that lictor i barely know her oh
dear there it is there it is folks rayleigh with
the two bucks uh come into my food for the extra
thoughts i mean it came out of you so like it's
i'm pretty sure it's a zero -sum game true there's
an influencer who went crazy and was drinking
uh semen see now if it's someone else's then
that is nothing but protein baby i remember what
i will say is let me chat tell me chad whose
name that was he went he took mushrooms and went
crazy but anyways i'll just quote uh bear grillers
Adapt, improvise, overcome. Don't forget, if
you're going to do that, I looked up a picture
of this. I hate my life. Did you pipe in? You
should read the book, Semenology. It's all about
making cocktails. You won't believe what the
secret ingredient is. Splendid. Splendid indeed.
Spartan with the fiver. Oh, no. Sorry, Colin,
go ahead. This is my first time catching a stream.
You guys are awesome. Thank you. Colin, your
videos particularly are awesome. Thank you. Long
live Halo and Warhammer and other random settings
I decide to do in the moment. Big Halo mention.
Glory to YapYap the Destroyer. Now known as the
flagship of Helldivers 2. Connor Murphy, that's
the guy. I haven't even heard of him. Document
USA, thank you for the five. I finally finished
The Great Horde Omnisia. Picks in the Discord,
time to paint the lion. Wow. I'm going to look
that up. I am off to look. If people wish to
go check, see more of our... We have loads of
different things in Discord for models, music,
gaming. FUD, which is for food. Food. And gelt
maxing. We have a gelt maxing thing where it's
just about Balthazar. Can you just send it again
in the Discord? There's a lot of stuff going
on in here. But while you have a look, Rayleigh,
for five, I'm going to cheat and put a positive
thing here. I don't hate any faction. Every faction
is cool in their own way, and I have considered
buying them. Real. Real. Good man. That is very
positive. Thank you for the calm comment. It
is very positive. It was the same guy. Eric the
Great. Hey, gang. This is my first live stream.
Just want to thank you all for getting me into
Warhammer. We got you into Warhammer? That's
crazy. And especially Colin for helping my many
shifts at work go better. I've watched all your
videos like twice. Thank you very much. $10.
Nice words. Let's appreciate it. Thank you for
the two European dollars. Remember, don't do
Dublin. Do anywhere else. Grippers. Next time.
We already did it. Thank you. Discord regular
here. Do you want this one, Colin? Chaotic Newm
with the $10 New Zealand dollars. Thank you.
This is who makes Colin pregnant, right? Yeah,
there's been quite a few from them. I love the
fact that I can be a silly goober and also as
grimdark as I want in the same paragraph. Also,
morning, everyone. It's 3 .30 in the afternoon.
I'm sorry your time zone is wrong, but I do thank
you for the sentiment. Printing fumes hitting
hard, and Colleen has another picture in the
Discord. Hooray! Thank you. Good old printing
fumes. We love to see it. Draconschlong, thinking
of the $5. Eli, have you been partaking in International
Chess Day? Also known as Monday. I did actually
do chess today. But it's not Monday today, actually.
Sorry. So I guess not. Task failed successfully.
Knight of Orange for five. Read the Natural Harvest
cookbook. It really puts the gene seed in cooking.
Yikes. Caleb Collins. Good to see you again,
Caleb. $1 .99. Elf Simp is truly the nerd of
many franchises. Oh, this is the worst thing
I've ever seen in my life. Oh, no. What do you
think? I found the art. Oh, yeah. I was distracted
by the Great Horned Omni -Sci. I've got to go
look at the art now. That being said, though,
we'll have the next grouping. I think I'll just
grab my first one here, which is the first one
is by Raw666, who's a regular on Law Crimes.
My most positive Warhammer experience had honestly
been my first time watching lore videos. Never
cared about Warhammer if not for people making
this honestly mess of a setting if it was not
due to the amazing storytellers. I would never
have even given 40K a look if not for the Templin
Institute, Black Pants Legion RPG game, and Brookie
talking with such passion about the setting in
a story. or keep up without you four arthur bones
and crack ducks law videos thank you man uh and
i wouldn't know what i'm a fantasy which has
become my favorite setting without pancreas no
work and his comedic law videos i know it's sappy
but honestly you guys telling your stories to
make me try this setting are Fonder than anything
GW actually releases. Wow. For it brings joy
in the dark and made me try to hold back chaos
for Karl Franz and the Emperor. In brackets,
not the Imperium, never the Imperium. My road
trader will always make new empires to make a
government worth fighting in 14K. Thank you,
man. Thank you. I think the heavy lifting of
getting people into fantasy might have been total
war but as in the explosion kind of after that
i'd be like even now i didn't i i got into 40k
again as like an adult just by watching law videos
so there's kind of i imagine for most people
that might have been there and like again it's
like how do you enter the franchise if you don't
you know you probably see the shot but i mean
how else do you get into it other than i guess
something on the internet really i think for
a lot of people might be bricky or um where's
hammer isn't it in the in this like current timeline
of things as well colin particularly is holding
the fancy somehow yeah fancy together it will
hold the sphere line did you guys what who was
like the first uh like law guys you watched it
was probably one mind syndicate because they
were huge like 10 years ago i think it was probably
major kill yeah i mean he's up there for the
first people i watched too i weirdly remember
when he didn't do law videos and then i remember
as in like i think i saw him do like his first
few ever obviously much he sounded very different
because he was much he was younger than me still
but he's much much younger so i was like holy
hell Looting, obviously. I was going to say that
was probably the first one I watched. Also, it
was interesting that as I got back into the setting
and getting back rushing up on the lore, you
guys had already been at it about a year before
I started. Who's this guy? Who's this fella?
Oh, this guy does long videos. Bloody hell. What's
going on here? You should see the length of my
video. But then the nice thing is also, I remember
when we were now kind of entrenched in the kind
of lore zeitgeist, and then we also got to saw
like... arthur bones or crack duck or chrono
the harlequin like see see them starting off
with like a thousand subs and then 10 and then
they were like shooting off into the into the
stratosphere and i was just like keep going lads
keep going it's good i felt like a proud dad
i am always very impressed when someone's able
to uh in some way like they've translated through
their own personality into like what you know
colin uh does through his method even though
like for me like i often my first we call it
yapping hell yeah professional yeah well i've
i've always like my favorite law channel even
to this day has always been vati videos like
uh dark souls stuff and i've always liked it
when as in uh like nothing like i always appreciate
it when it's done through someone else's like
lens but often i been like i need to know what's
happening i want to be in the universe so that's
why mine i never whenever i never thought to
be like personality during i was more like i
kind of just want to you know get the basically
get to the good bit because there's so much fluff
in warhammer and i was always like just get the
good bit or i had the problem of like i liked
um who's a character i liked uh mephiston and
ironman like way back in the day obviously because
they're powerful as hell but uh and then trying
to find out like what thing they're in was like
really annoying in terms like he was technically
in this thing and he's a side character in that
thing i was like oh my god i was like but so
he was like he's also in this thing but i didn't
know i had to go read that before reading the
second you know there's a whole thing of like
the um like one of the mephist in books like
i didn't know i had to read another like the
army and i had to read another book That's not
his book to understand the context of reading
the next book. So I was like, ah, that's kind
of how my thing started. Yeah, but man, I do.
What was the original thing? I'll just do the
next one here, which was, let's make sure this
one, which is by Soulful Volcanarch. My positive
Warhammer experience is when I won my first game
of 40k. I was ultra smurfed and they were dirty
knife ears. Doing the emperor's work. I chose
that one because it splits Colin's favorite things
down the middle. Elves or ultramarines? Who's
in the right? Crazy comment. Man. I don't remember
I don't remember my first game properly or anything
like that. I would say even if as much as people
do complain about 10th edition for old Warhammer
fans again I promise you teaching someone new
in 10th edition is probably so much easier than
it has been before just because there's not as
much to memorize. The barrier to entry is much
better for Warhammer at these days. I would like
some changes, obviously. I pray one day GW discovers
the magic of keeping multiple editions in print.
You can have your cake and eat it that way. You
have 10th edition for an intro, and then other
editions for... I don't know. Too negative. We're
getting too negative. Put a smile back on your
face. All I'm saying is it would be really good
value for money if they put all their current
codexes on their Warhammer vault as part of the
Warhammer Plus subscription. Like, oh, you don't
have to buy this clunky book. You can just go
on the vault and you can read it. That would
be cool. And you could have all the old editions
there, too. Go on, GW. I dare you. I double dog
dare you. Do it. Do it. you'll get more subscriptions
oh they will one day i'm sure uh my next one
is by pancreas apologist hell yeah although to
be fair uh this one is a horrors heresy thing
which is hilarious because it's not no it's not
a question for you don't worry it says i feel
very moved by the flight of the eisenstein garo
finding the will to live and strength to defeat
the Lord of Flies, whilst at the same time, tragically
losing himself to fanaticism is so peak. He also
picks up a effing moon rock, screams like Titus,
and bashes in a demon's head. He's a baller.
That is pretty nuts. That's why James Swallow
is one of my favourite authors in the setting.
He does some good stuff, and everyone's like,
eh. They just forget James Swallow. He's like,
no, he's good. He did Garrow. He's good. am i
still there people hear me my camera lost connection
hold on oh his camera was offended by his mustache
and went no i will not be i will not view it
any longer getting mustache slander there we
go there he is uh between the boys here what
was your if you had to to bring it down to like
one or two favorite lore moments what would you
pick not like the coolest or anything but like
kind of like you would if someone asked you like
what was one that was defining of what your favorite
warhammer experience in some way it's hard to
simmer down to one but i if i go i would probably
think to oh god i have to think now actually
or is it it's gonna be a thing isn't it i i did
really like the god blight ending like again
like the whole thing of like it really cemented
gilliman's return as like a cool thing and then
you have the emperor actually doing some damage
to chaos you have a cool moment where mortarian
looks like a bitch like yeah it was all around
a good good book uh way to end that trilogy of
books i was like yeah that's pretty cool i like
that i like that i mean i just there's so many
i can't like in terms of i always think of it's
not like the best books in the setting, but anytime
Mephiston has like a fight scene, his ones are
just always a bit nuts. Cause there's ones where
it's like, he's literally like a raging inferno
of like black fire or again, like he just freezes
time and does like, I'm just like ponders like
dead cultist brain in front of him. He's like,
I could put this back together. I mean, it'll
probably be, I really weirdly enough, like, It's
not, like, a big thing, like, story. It's from
the book Shattered Legions. It's the Ironhands,
like, one of their short story ones. And it's
the one which is, like, called... Andy wouldn't
know this one. D's Endure. Which is, like, it's
a very small story, but essentially it boils
down to, like, some Ironhands and salamanders,
like, attacking a worldie to a recruiting world
during the Horror's Heresy or whatever. And the
salamanders are, like, they're only, like, I
think... less than a dozen of them but there's
like at least over 50 iron hands so the even
though the salamander guy outranks the iron hand
or whatever but the iron hand guy is like it's
pointless to attack you know we're all going
to die whatever and you know you know going on
about you know flesh is weak all that good stuff
and then the salamander guy corrects him and
he says you're only saying half of the the message
and he said like the first time ferris the first
time ferris man has said it he was with vulcan
and the whole point is ferris said the flesh
is weak and then vulcan put in but deeds endure
and the whole point of the story like the salamander
guy basically reams out the hind hands guy by
saying yeah your flesh is weak there's a whole
point your age you'll die you'll get sick or
whatever things will happen to you but it matters
what you do in this life and that's why we and
then they basically they don there's a funny
part they go jump on their ship to like arrest
the salamanders to force them doing something
and then the salamander is like oh you've arrived
on my ship and they're all kitted out in the
saturnine like dreadnought like in a terminator
play and they're like and he says vulcan gave
me these artifacts to guard with my life but
we're going to use them we're going to attack
these world eaters because even though we might
fail we'll probably die it's worth doing these
things to like basically for the greater wholeness
of humanity like it's like even like you know
again The flesh is weak, but what we do matters.
The salamanders go in and then the iron hand...
The salamanders are kind of starting to lose
and then the iron hand guy finds they literally
drop pod in their whole force. He's literally
like, yes, deeds endure! And they just die together.
The salamanders were like, um, actually? That's
how they... It's a very small... It's not...
craziest scene. I'm sure there's way more emotionally
heavy things in Warhammer or better scenes. But
it's one I always like because it's just poignant.
It's very mildly important in this thing. It's
not a big Primark story or crazy other things
necessarily. It's just hey, sometimes you do
stuff because it matters and I like that. That's
pretty nice. Do you guys have any lore moments
then? Yeah, I think as a kid, at least, like
when I was a beginning Warhammer, I think the
coolest stuff for me was just when the Alpha
Legions did anything. I was a huge Alpha Legion
glazer as a kid. Legion was like the coolest
book ever. No, actually, you know what's wrong?
The coolest lore moment was when Shazlak Case
took W after W in the book Fire Warrior. That
was kind of the first like... favorite book of
mine as a kid. Everything Case does in that book
was the coolest thing ever to me. Fire Warrior,
the Halo killer. Indeed. Little did we know the
gunshot was coming from inside the house. The
only thing that can kill Halo is Halo, my friend.
What would you say, Andy? I don't know. Well,
one thing I will say, as you mentioned Mephiston,
you just reminded me of, again, a James Swallow
book with the Blood Angels omnibus. There's the
bit where the Blood Angels are fighting each
other because Rathen's biological brother, who's
also a Blood Angel, Archeo, is all, like, sinch
-possessed, and he's, like, almost like a reincarnation
of Sanguinius. He's got wings and everything.
And there's one point where Mephiston's just
like, can you hurry up and kill your brother
so that we can stop, like... fighting each other
because there's also word bearers that are now
shooting at us while we're trying to pick each
other off and then he goes through like the second
black rage and then ralph and gets the spear
of telesto the spear that sanguinius uses and
he just kind of unleashes a bunch of light which
kills anything that's not a blood angel so the
word bearers are like ah and they disintegrate
and then uh and then mephisto's like oh again
i got the rage again oh that's annoying but then
they're like oh you killed your brother yeah
cool And then everything went back to normal.
Nice. Fun book. It's a very general one, but
I always think back to it because I was reading
it when I was working at my church in the parking
lot after a shift before I left. It was just
like... You know, you do the traditional, I don't
know what's going on to the wiki I go for the
three -hour endless dive that only gives me more
proper nouns I don't understand. But the first
thing it clicked on was the article it had for
the end times. And, you know, endless complaining
about it as deserved. But when you know nothing
about the setting or what the end times entails
beyond, you know, the general implication of
the words end times, it sounds pretty cool. So
I don't know that it's, it's not really a proper
moment. It's over like just describing all of
it, but I don't know. I always think that back
to that. It's like the, the, the first like early
little, you know, that was the worm baiting the
hook. That is cool. Colin was the proverbial
kraut. I'll do a lot of shout out though too.
i am always having fun when i've read them all
now which is sad in some way but i've always
had fun reading a kyfer's cane book yeah yeah
you know i've always it's just it doesn't take
itself too seriously it's not trying to be the
best thing on the menu necessarily but it's just
filled with fantastically good you know funny
character moments that you know again full of
good old warhammer ridiculousness and It's nice
to see it from the perspective of characters
like, geez, this universe is fucked up. You would
think after the 20th time they're describing
the way a character smells, it would get old.
It doesn't. It never gets old. It never stops
being funny. It's always funny, those books.
Everyone loves Blackadder in Warhammer. It's
just a good combination. Also, Horus Heresy has
many points brought a manly tear to a man's eye.
It's just damn sad, man, the whole thing. In
a beautiful way. People are like, oh, it goes
on forever. It's a nice thing about Warhammer.
It doesn't really end. i think which is like
a kind of a good thing there's a lot of other
things you can watch or like you know and then
basically there's no more of it whereas like
one is that but it's not overstaying it's welcome
in some sense except for the new istvan book
we're saying do we need another response no but
you don't think you don't have to read it you
don't you don't have to i do i'm a lord channel
i have to Andy, we'd like to hear the next one,
which is by Zach Healer. Yes, the next one is
from Zach Healer. Seeing the amount of money
that was raised for Arthur Bones' recent GoFundMe
after his house tragically caught fire, the 40K
community always rises to a challenge, and they
more than showed it for the one and only Mr.
Bones. We love Arthur Bones. Seeing that was
generally kind of heartwarming. yeah yeah and
thank you everyone who did um also help with
that from uh our community and as well as the
wider warhammer stuff you know i think he's uh
probably obviously he doesn't have to necessarily
be i think he's probably said already but like
he's obviously massively great form obviously
we are as well for uh people you know again like
sometimes like sometimes real bad or like you
know really annoying can happen so you know what
an absolute win Really lovely. Speaking of donations,
though, should we do the next round? Yeah. Right
about time. So you want to do the donations before
we do the next one, yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So
first one from Spartin. My best memory of Warhammer
is painting the new Logan Grimnaw model. It took
me three days while watching Lord of the Rings
Extended Edition. Barathi mommy, step on me.
What a way to give Eli some whiplash there. There's
a second one following that up. Thank you for
the 5 bucks, man. Colin saw a planet of goth
baddies get destroyed and was rooting for the
robots. Andy has the best facial hair, by the
way. US. Glory to the Confederacy of Independent
Systems. I don't even know what that is. Rollercoaster,
money, money, card, present, eye cracker, down
chart, up chart. Look at this graph. Interesting.
the multi arms entertain general grievous you
deranged gaggle of wonderful people are always
a joy to hear from in your videos streams are
hilarious you're all the inspiration that has
made me consider actually starting a lore channel
of my own nice give it a go thank you very much
thank you for the 10 euros i say inspired by
us is like a crazy you know is he already screwed
Caleb Collins. Thank you for the two. When Star
Wars or SAO simps fave? Wow. Pub quiz. When is
the Star Wars or SAO pub quiz? Glory to the CIS.
I was going to say Star Wars in general I think
would be too vague. It would have to be like
Jedi, Old Republic, Sith, Clankers. You will
take the General Grievous quiz and you will like
it. Are they still making that? Or has that finally
died? Probably not. I don't know, dude. I think
they are still making it. That's my word. Cool.
Eli, go ahead. I think it was 10. I will always
remember my intro games taught by the local World
Eaters player in 9th. I may not have won any
of those five games, but I still incredibly enjoyed
watching my guardsmen get torn to pieces. Awesome.
quite like that the gleeful slaughter before
the uh oh no but the end of ninth wasn't it that
the uh the new world easter's dropped isn't it
uh glass laughter for ten something warhammer
has done for me is inspiring me to write books
hey currently written too about a giant with
an evil axe seeking revenge against a dragon
who used to be his friend there will be more
i thought for a second he wrote a book about
A giant evil axe. That would be hilarious. From
the perspective of an axe. All I made connections
was when I had a giant and then a friend. I was
just thinking, Yhorm? Yhorm from Dark Souls 3?
Siegmeyer? Friends? Giant? Axe? Persuasive wink
for 19 bucks, man. Thank you so much. Thank you.
The Lord Crimes crew is the reason I picked up
AOS recently. Huge. I've been playing consistently
over the past half year. Thank you for getting
me to join the community, you beautiful bastards.
We should do more AOS. Another sigma -rillion
dollars. I hope you're playing Spearhead, brother.
I hope so. I'm about to pick up. Me and my friend
are going to do Spearhead soon, so we're really
gassed. Colin, would you like this last one for
now? Sure. Parker Summerlin, thank you for the
five bucks. Currently in Ireland right now. I'm
enjoying it right now. Might live here. Nice.
I like Ireland. I thought it was pretty good.
Yeah. from the people that wouldn't let eli have
a drink because he's got big muscles oh how dare
they funny um i guess i got a couple more to
get through on the discord uh iced cube star
my most positive experience is originally finding
pancreas no work when searching for warhammer
content after reading every wiki i could find
haha the first video i saw was why ogres are
the best warhammer race to live as yes and i
was sold completely on it i suffer with severe
chronic health issues so a channel where it's
basically a buddy ranting and not a bookish dictation
was amazing been watching every video since and
was so happy to find law crimes lol no idea how
i missed it for six months basically colin's
the best but thank you all but thank all you
guys for what you do and the humor and levity
you do with it uh kiss kiss kiss kiss shalaxy's
wetter scripper Thank you very much. There it
is. And best of luck with the ongoing health
issues as well, man. Hope it's looking up, man.
Hopefully our puerile humor will be a bomb that
helps. That's crazy. It's funny, like, some people
who, like, if we're there first, like... line
where they meet warhammer that i don't that is
i do think that's crazily unhealthy because it's
just stupid oh man i don't mind oh that's crazy
though uh should you next one as well then uh
is this one more for me yes uh this one's from
glass laughter my favorite moment in the game
was when i was late for a game against a notable
community member in brackets the nails are biting
In more brackets, there is your hint. Even though
I was late, he got food for me and himself, and
I learned a lot in that game. I only lost by
10 or 13 points. 83 to a 98 point game. That's
quite a lot of points scored in that game. Holy
hell. My closest game was still against Dogehammer.
I think it was like 40 to 42, and the only reason
I won, I had the 42, was because I put three
jet bikes on a corner objective he had no hope
of reaching and just had them sit there the entire
game. It was the scummiest victory ever. I've
won by one once or twice before. The game I thought
I was going to lose was when I was playing early
10th and I was playing just Iron Hands. And my
friend was playing Necrons. And if you know anything
about Necrons in 10th edition, it's been painful.
I would say that. And I squeaked out. I had...
one model left on the board. And I squeaked out
the win. And he still had like half his army
left. RIP Space Marines. But that was an incredibly
fun game and I'm surprised I even won that. I
also need to give a shout out to the previous
game where I forgot that Wraith Guard count is
two for troop transport ability. So I loaded
up ten Wraith Blade in a single transport and
then I still lost. Tragic. That man brought a
company. No vehicles. A company. Eli, would you
like to take over for the next one? It is by
Diamond Clone. Here you go. Open our thing on
the Discord, actually. I was just enjoying it.
I'm Clone. My moment is my brother getting me
into Warhammer and teaching me and helping me
build my first models a few years ago was unfortunately
Tao. Nah, don't say that. It was fortunately
Tao. Then he stopped playing Warhammer, but he
just got back into it again with a new army,
so I'm excited to play him as not a noob on maybe
Equal Footy. That's awesome. Oh, that's good.
I think the ability to make it reconnect with
particularly friends or... It forces you to actually
be in person for a lot of things. uh i say forcing
but as in you know like it makes like particularly
for me like it's kept friendships i've had for
quite i mean god maybe 20 years or maybe something
like that and then oh not me yeah nearly 20 years
something like that and then it keeps them going
a lot of them as like you because you see each
other regularly because you're you're putting
things in the diary and organizing to play with
your little war dollies so you know it's a good
excuse to keep people connected uh and if even
if someone doesn't have a lot of time for it
you can still you know it's just one day to go
try and do something you know it's no pressure
that's very nice but say does anyone play with
people who they or how they manage to get more
of their friends involved in it since uh like
they know that you're you guys are into it kind
of i've tried i don't know my friends kind of
got into it on their own volition i feel like
honestly As weird as that might be. But on to
the next. Eonius. I think my most positive experience
is with kitbashing. I love showing them off,
and I find the creative process of figuring out
how I can combine minis to create something new.
I've got a couple of minis that are completely
unique thanks to kitbashing. Nice. Images are
of a small kitbash to add a sword and shield
to a draenaut, and my unique one. I think there's
pictures down here, isn't there? That'll be on
screen for the video people later. Make sure
you check that out. Otherwise, the next thing
that comes to mind is theorizing about the lore
and creating what -if scenarios. It's just fun
to engage with people about the hobby who love
it as much as I do. The other day I was discussing
how I thought that call -in bio working together
for some reason would result in space skip. Well,
nice. Returning to painting, I love watching
painting slash kid -bashing videos as it's amazing
to see what the community makes. Awesome. didn't
you guys kit bash and then done a bit that eli
a little bit uh less so in the in recent years
but like i made a demon alfarius model i made
just like a regular alfarius out of like a primaris
captain i have a gene stealer hijacked piranha
and that is an ugly model but i think it's fitting
it's pretty fun um other than that i remember
i When I decided I didn't want to play Space
Wolves anymore and I wanted to play Emperor's
Children, I took some Space Wolves and I put
random Chaos stuff on them. I took a Thunder
Wolf and I put Mecha Tendrils on it and put another
head on it. It looked very bad, but it was fun.
It had heart. It had heart. Who's in our Discord
who has the Skaven hybrid army? People should
go check out some of his stuff in there. The
Discord again, people need to join that. I'll
say for Andy though, who you only have maybe
a few models, what's your dream army slash there's
no barriers to entry, no budget. Let's just say,
what would you go for? Let's get a big old Titan.
Let's go like, yeah, where's your army? plunk
just get the biggest titan you can get and just
be like right it's got big large panels so it's
easier to paint um and just feel like and just
ruin everyone's day when i turn up to a game
just be like oh hiya clonk i'm just going to
shoot everything on the board at once and you're
going to do no damage to me because i'm a titan
they're like this guy's average nice player But
I would definitely, I have considered getting
some knights because it's like, it's less models
to field. It'll be easier to paint and also I
think knights are cool. And I could spoil people's
day by bringing a knight army. They're like,
oh, this guy. I hate him. Colin, you ever done
a bit of kitbashing, Colin? Or is most of your
Warhammer stuff, is it straight up the original?
Most of it's just kind of... assembled as is,
but the little goober that's my channel profile
picture is technically a kitbash, because that's
just a tactical squad sergeant, and you can't
have two power fists on them. Cool. But I thought
it was funny and looked cool, so I put them both
on. One of them's from an assault marine kit.
Cool. I've been a bit of a yapper this episode,
but I was waiting for this one. I love kit bashing
so much. It is so much fun. I'm not going to
parade out all my models. Because again, even
though this is a safe space tonight, this is
probably also going to bore the crap out of people.
But I absolutely love doing that stuff. I've
had... I hadn't had any problems with the normal
GW models. Obviously, they're very, very good.
I just like the fact of making models or like
the look of things that I know no one else is
kind of going to like direction wise, maybe won't
go for. I like, I feel like I'm more hoping if
we get to the future stuff with law crimes, we
get to make our own things. And I'm, I would
love to do like more like a space Marine chapter.
That's actually, I mean, you know, a bit more
Islamic golden age or like, you know, around
like different things you wouldn't see on. uh
regular space reaching you know also i've i've
been losing my mind since playing assassins creed
revelations years ago about why is there not
a space marine why is there not ottoman space
marines why is there not ottawa i saw your community
post about that the other day actually i'm yeah
i'm so like gassed about doing more different
conversions like i don't want to like that like
greco -roman or like latin stuff i've you know
it's been done I'd love to see Raj put Space
Marines that because the discs they get to throw,
but they're like power discs. I wasn't enjoying
my I offer with like kit bashing stuff. I just
kind of find a cheaper way to make things. So
I currently have a Grey Knights army. I think
army is like a few things in it because it's
so expensive in points, but they're all like
I made them all Dark Angel. So I have like I
have the Sylvaneth. tree lords as my little baby
carriers instead and i call it like caliban knights
which is all fun and they're all like dark angels
colors and they've got like celtic and tartan
robes and stuff again i'm not going to show off
all my things because it's that's too much and
the last one is like I wasn't as happy with my
World Eaters stuff because they ruined World
Eaters recently. Not being negative, it's like
a whole new army to play. Not being negative?
He said negative. They made the army like all
the models I don't have got good and all the
models I do have have got very, very below average.
So, you know, I'm not going to play them for
a little while. But I thought of a way to make
myself enjoy them again, which is I'm going to
repaint them as like they're all Blood Angels
Death Company. so death company world eaters
so death eaters i guess it's just harry potter
i don't know but yeah i you know i did have a
good kit bash i've got uh i don't actually have
the khan model so i bought yesterday i bought
lamartes and he's gonna be my pseudo khan so
i'm gonna i've got some bits on those guys too
and i'm very excited just to paint that army
up and maybe get more little you know blood angel
trinkets on that All good stuff. Great question,
though. And for the video watches later, we'll
have those pictures up. Again, do join the Discord,
particularly in the tabletop section, because
I do check that out quite regularly. I do like
seeing people's stuff in there. The Vermin Lord
one is pretty good. Donkey Man USA, I'm seeing
that conversion. That is pretty damn sexy. I'm
liking that. Should I go to the next one? Yeah.
Two more. Two more. Grail, Mike. hashtag uh scroll
screw average i don't know who this is not sure
if it's the most but it's certainly one of the
most positive warhammer experiences it has to
be watching mr i have no pancreas and must have
a terrible opinions video on bretonia surprising
start i know but listen i naturally watched that
video and thought hey that doesn't seem very
nice seems rather slanderous i love and respect
horses i'm sure the brittany do too and that
maybe I should check around to see what else
he has to say. A lot of videos later, I found
Lorecrimes, which streams on a Friday night,
the day I can stay up because I never have anything
Saturday nights. I enjoyed the streams. I got
a shout -out every now and then. The community
interactions were on a whole fun and a good way
to pass time. Now I'm here, I've read a vast
majority of Bretonnia's lore, and can confirm
Cleonis' opinions on Bretonnia are vile slander.
He should be sent to a certain island. I hope
he always fights against Commander Magnus and
made GW make the elves in AOS. Screw AOS. And
fantasy discounting the goats being what else
lore suck. His opinions overall suck, but to
be positive, I'm happy where I'm at now. The
Warhammer as a whole has been an enjoyable pastime
before I go to church or study for school or
debate how to fast. I could fall into a pool
if I strapped my brothers. Oh. uh how fast i
could fall into a pool if i strapped my brothers
to my back normal things plus that warhammer
i wouldn't be making funny little face snaps
of lads as i write this seems more like a general
experience than one per se but what are you gonna
do manly tier um mandatory second Bretonnia reference.
Wow. Thank you, Mike. I felt a little emotional
there in the first half, and then you just started
insulting Colin, and it was... That was a very,
very touching message. Very much appreciated
that. They definitely had the vibe of like, and
another thing. And another thing. It's funny
when someone says your entire being has incorrect
opinions. I don't mean to be... I don't mean
to be negative, but this last one is... This
isn't positive. No. There is one last comment
we did include just because someone... Someone...
So I'm not going to complain. We got Straygan.
I disagreed a lot with DelosV's video on the
Tau and how they've changed for the worse, mainly
because a lot of his points are very subjective
to him and the topic of army construction is
very much a preference of the player. GW does
provide rules for running that combined arms
army that he loves. It's called the Auxiliary
Cadre. Also, the reason that a lot of Tau players
like running Battlestar armies is because the
Tau player base is made up of weebs. Of course,
they're going to run the cool neck army they
want. And yes, I did put in the pinned comment,
there are rules to run it. That was not the whole
point of the video. The video was also about
how their lore sucks now and has been quite obliterated.
So, you know. But not, but not, yeah. So, I don't
know why I'm negative, but to be fair there.
it's okay it's about tau so no one no one okay
oh my gosh the irony of uh of of how playing
as a dark angel talk when you're talking about
the tau and the recent law i'm like a shudder
whenever i remember war of secrets it causes
me pain sad book for every faction involved again
staying positive but whoever wrote that flesh
terror novel that is the only Warhammer book
rated below three stars on Audible because they
always over inflate the reviews so it's that
bad it's Chris Forrester I mean if you ever think
a book is bad I I think that's my example of
a bad book sorry bro to the guy who wrote it
I just I don't understand what happened there
like i don't know if you were attacked whilst
you were writing that novel uh again we're staying
positive hopefully the next one's better man
hopefully i can't try and really not not to be
negative you should read elemental council it's
good it's the first good town novel in like five
years yes I say that, though, guys. Oh, I guess
riffing off that, what would you guys recommend
for people who would, what books or thing would
you recommend to look at next for the people,
for people listening? I am once again here to
tell you to read Godric and Felix. The Witch
Hunter Omnibus is also pretty good, though, for
some other fantasy stuff I've been reading. It's
about Matthias Thuleman. who is the closest you
will get to a witch hunter slash inquisitor with
a functioning moral compass. Nice. He's even
made the decision to not kill someone who came
after him for vengeance. Oh, crazy. That's crazy.
That usually doesn't happen. Usually that gets
you the stake in either setting. Colin would
also not recommend Horus Heresy. No, but I was
being positive. Thankful books. Endless joy.
Funny rat. Cane. Also real. Always a cane. Eli,
what would you recommend to the people? I mean,
as I said, Elemental Council. You should read
it. It's good Tao lore. Or read old Tao. Read
any Tao book that wasn't written by Phil Kelly.
And maybe you like the Tao. Because they're good
books. I like the Farsight books. I think they're
alright. I haven't read the new one, but I'd...
The opening trilogy ones I kind of enjoyed. It's
fun to do stuff. That's all I'll say. I'll say
that much. The first one of his first independent
ones, I quite liked that one, actually. Bit funny
about the Mechanicus literally having a conveyor
belt and putting him in Tao systems to use him
as fuel. That was pretty bizarre. Really funny.
But I still enjoyed that one quite a lot. Yeah,
that one was okay. Andy, what do you recommend?
I've got two things I'd like to mention. One
is read Lords of Silence. I don't know how Chris
Raitt is able to both make good Death Guard and
White Scars books simultaneously, even in the
same book, like with Warhawk. But I also want
to just mention I got this recently. The only
book William King did outside of the Ragnar series
and got Frick and Felix. An Eldar novel. with
a rogue trader on the front called Janus Dark,
not to be confused with Janus Drake, a different
Janus. And I'm like, this is such a weird anomaly,
and I'm going to read it soon, and it's going
to be weird. And I'll let you know how it is.
So I'm just like, what is this? A one -off that
was supposed to be a series, which wasn't, and
isn't a Ragnar Black main book or a Gottrick
and Felix book? What is this? So I'll tell you
how it is. It might be rubbish, but I'm not sure.
Hopefully it'll be good. To read it to find out.
Yeah, because no one else has. So I'm like, I'll
do it. That'll be fun. Andy has almost read all
of the Warhammer. It's crazy. God. I'm going
to get to the Inquisitor Roth trilogy. Ever heard
of that? No? Yeah, me neither. That's on the
docket. You must read the part. You go first.
I need to remember the funny man's name. There's
also the guy who's like, oh, I'm an Inquisitor
who wears a Harlequin jacket and I'm a cheeky
chappy. There's lots of weird Inquisitor books
which turn out to be trilogies. There's the one
with Covenant with the Horusian trilogy stuff.
The one with Inquisitor Roth is by one guy who
wrote that trilogy and then never wrote anything
ever again. And no one knows about the books.
I'm like, I'm going on an adventure. I'm just
like, I'm going to figure out what this is about
and if it's good. That's where I'm at right now
on my channel. The most obscure stuff I can find
I'm just delving into. I mean, it's not the most
beginner friendly, but I always like the Eisenhorn
books just because they're pretty... It's the
perfect tone of Warhammer stuff. Again, Dan Abnett
kind of... doesn't really miss uh i wouldn't
recommend for everybody uh necessarily all of
the horrors heresy and seizure terror stuffs
i'll happily do those videos for you on my channel
just because there's a like with those particular
with that particular 30k setting uh again like
a lot of it could be trimmed out but the overall
thing itself is amazing um If you, again, just
do the opening trilogy, well, opening four books
of The Horror's Heresy, I'd even say, and that's
a pretty enjoyable read to listen to. Particularly,
do finish the opening trilogy because if you
read them as standalone, again, as a three, it's
like watching only one movie in the Lord of the
Rings trilogy. You kind of need to experience
the whole thing. In terms of ones like just fun,
I don't know if everyone has read, I think Andy
might have, but like... The Mephiston books kind
of ones always are like weirdly fun slash just
kind of good world building stuff. Dante is a
very good stat. If you're just reading one book
ever, I'd recommend just reading the book Dante
because it's a good standalone if you wanted
it to be. I guess what's like the one I had the
most amount of fun reading? I don't know. I'm
not flexing, but I've read so many now. it's
almost just like like which like who um i mean
look at my i just look at my bloody channel for
one second see which videos i've done you know
like you forget what videos you who you've even
like covered before uh i might stick with eisenhorn
to be fair to yeah i think i might stick with
eisenhorners or actually oh yeah knight lord
trilogy is also very very fun um can i can i
briefly mention lucas's book lucas the trickster
ah that is a fun this is a fun book yep Which
is like, you get some Drukhari, you get the most
silly character in the Authority setting, and
even the guys in charge, the Wolf Lords, are
having fistfights so that they don't have him
in their company. And it's a good romp. It's
a fun story. It is a fun book. Lucas is awesome.
Oh, and I'd recommend basically anything. I've
read all the Gotrek Age of Sigmar books randomly.
It's like my guilty pleasure thing. I won't do
Age of Sigmar on my channel just because I'm
too busy, unfortunately. But I enjoyed a good
Gotrek, even though it doesn't have Felix in
these ones. I just really like it because, again,
I don't think it's not trying to be, again, a
trendsetter. It's just an interesting thing of
I know Gotrek's character and then it has...
nice interlude like he's different without felix
in these ones like it's not the same dynamic
but uh i just enjoyed it again fun it's an interesting
to see people who like in this in age of sigmo
they're like who is this guy like who's he thinking
and then they're like oh this guy oh he's him
yeah like it's like oh like it's it's fun being
in these stories where like there's just like
they're casually talking to the demigod. And
he's not pretending to be one. And again, there's
quite a few of them now. This is a guilty pleasure
for me. I desperately want him to meet Teclis
again. Maybe. So Teclis can go back to dancing
around his feet even though he's a full -blown
god. It's the second guy. It's David Geimer.
He was writing some of the... fantasy ones anyway
so like is it a lot of it is i had some other
authors have a go at uh gotrek as well but oh
that's fine i just just want i just wanted to
meet techless again come on yeah it's really
fun for you guys who read the the age of sigma
stuff have any of you read the hamilcar berry
to book is that he's a he's a joy he's a joy
and i liked his animation on warhammer tv but
like he has a book right and i'm like has anyone
read that I'd say it's fun. It's not quite like,
you know, quite Kane or Gatchik and Felix, but
it's... I don't know. He's like the Ant -Man
of Age of Sigmar. I get a similar amount of enjoyment
out of that. I went to look up the title and
instead I found Hamilcar Publications. oh that
is i don't even know what i'm looking at here
uh we're gonna move on from that uh pardon me
uh no he yeah he's got he's got the champion
of the gods and then uh three short stories which
i mean i they're like i don't know i said they're
not quite up to it but they are honestly like
in the same like vein as caiaphas came gotcha
and felix uh it's fun once once like i'm sure
more will be out uh although so yeah i mean the
important thing with warhammer is like there's
often times when like it does try and make you
cry but other ones like it's like i enjoy the
ones that don't take themselves too seriously
like i uh i guess my last recommendation i've
been waffling for this episode unfortunately
boys but um it's the brutal cunning uh the ooftak
who's the basically the main lead of this like
weird it's almost a new like a trilogy now of
like these orc books and it's just fun to see
like an orc like an orc book where the uh him
and his little um uh what the little goblins
the gremlins um gretchen him and his little gretchen's
who like have this weird like communist uprising
going between them and then they have a squig
called princess who uh attacks people at the
right time who is proper good at hurting people
and they've got rivalry with other you know big
bosses and then they fight other orcs mechanicum
so mechanicus uh dark elder there's a in the
most recent book they accidentally invade comara
and it's not going well for either side so i
just i absolutely hilarious time in those books
Go read Brutal Cunning. Absolutely hilarious
time. Other than that though, has anyone got
any last bits of positivity to share for the
gang? I will say thank you guys a lot. Last one
I'll say is thank you everyone who does watch
all the time. Love you more criminals. It's been
a very, very fun thing. Thank you to Andy, particularly
as well, who got the crew together. Thank you
for Eli, who always absolutely, whenever it's
his turn to helm an episode, the man puts in
God's work. Eli never does a job half -assed.
He always puts in a massive amount of effort.
With whole ass. The entire ass. The entire ass.
Colin is just very naturally funny. You're a
funny dude, man. And always just seems to bring
a certain energy that I don't think I have left
in me as an elderly bloke. Careful, you're still
in your 20s. And Andy's obviously such a very,
very nice dude. Andy's a very, very good egg.
And we don't deserve him. Thank you, Andy. You're
welcome. Big love there. To completely deconstruct
that entire praise, I'd like to thank Hal for
always bringing in the worst gameplay footage
I've ever seen. I don't mind. But I enjoy that
he puts the effort in, although I can't talk
when it comes to Total War because I can't get
through the tutorial. I told you, strategy games
is all that's left for me in this world. As much
as it may not be the best, it did bring me indescribable
amounts of joy to see those four backwards failed
dodges out of the game's Arab Terminator. And
you know what? I've been playing Night Rain recently,
so if any of that footage ever got out, it would
be over. I was about to say, I've kind of gotten...
I only play Space Marine 2 every two months at
this rate for one day. For a long time. You might
play it again, to be fair, once all these new
updates finally all go through, and then it's
worth having another crack. That being said,
though, thank you guys so much for listening,
for watching, for all the comments submitted,
everything as well, all the donations. We do
have one last donation. Yes. This one's from
Imagine Wagons. Very clever. It's a pun. Nights
are the best, aside from maybe nids. but I've
kitbashed a paladin with big sword, and I'm currently
painting the armagers. From this message, I'm
going to assume you are a big fan of Pacific
Rim. And you know what? Hell yeah. That's respectable.
I have a funny joke I thought the other time.
If I don't wrap up the episode, I wonder how
long we'd keep going. Probably a while. I always
wondered, would any of you guys actually be like,
Alright, end of the episode there. Or would we
just actually just keep going for another half
an hour? Just like, after like four hours, they
just go, done! And then I just end it straight
away. The six -hour Lore Crimes podcast is never
more than one hal -abstance away. They're just
like, why is he not wrapping it up? Just typing
it. Again, thank you everyone. Again, we have
merch stuff. We have Goin' Bob. non -official
Games Workshop stuff. We have Discord, like,
subscribe, all that good stuff. Thank you guys
so much for listening, for watching. Love you
all. Be positive. You know, Warhammer is very
fun. It's a good thing, an amazing thing. And
thank you for giving us all weirdly new jobs.
What a weird turn of events. And we'll catch
you guys all in the next one then. Peace. Bye.
Love you. Bye.
