WEBVTT

00:00:11.709 --> 00:00:14.470
Hello ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, it

00:00:14.470 --> 00:00:18.530
is Lore Crimes. Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello,

00:00:18.530 --> 00:00:22.230
hello. We're in the mortal realms this week,

00:00:22.230 --> 00:00:25.390
aren't we guys? I do sound echoey people, apologies.

00:00:25.670 --> 00:00:29.829
I'm in a new spot, officially a new spot. But

00:00:29.829 --> 00:00:32.630
today, well, I mean, we're just going to go straight

00:00:32.630 --> 00:00:34.729
into it, honestly, because people have been...

00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:38.159
begging for this particular topic uh there's

00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:40.000
one particular person i think i don't remember

00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:43.200
his name um but has been actually gagging pretty

00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:47.759
much every video of recent months has been aos

00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:50.439
when aos when aos when it's like we know we'll

00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:53.710
get around to it so we did we thought we'd venture

00:00:53.710 --> 00:00:56.590
into the mortal realms again unfortunately uh

00:00:56.590 --> 00:00:58.469
there'll be no end time discussion i don't think

00:00:58.469 --> 00:01:00.969
on this one though because it's straight up into

00:01:00.969 --> 00:01:04.329
the good old age of sigma which you know it's

00:01:04.329 --> 00:01:08.310
been the the model team cooks chef's kiss they

00:01:08.310 --> 00:01:10.790
cook uh so let's give their law a bit of love

00:01:10.790 --> 00:01:13.989
i think uh i mean does anyone have any how much

00:01:13.989 --> 00:01:17.569
are you familiar eli with uh sig either sig marines

00:01:17.569 --> 00:01:21.329
as people have often named them not very they're

00:01:21.329 --> 00:01:26.409
there I don't really touch AOS. Wack. Yeah, well,

00:01:26.510 --> 00:01:28.269
hopefully we'll change a few people's minds.

00:01:28.430 --> 00:01:30.530
Do check out Spearhead if anyone hasn't given

00:01:30.530 --> 00:01:36.170
that a go on Tabletop. Gotrix in it. Nothing

00:01:36.170 --> 00:01:38.909
Gotrix in it can be completely bad. Sigvald's

00:01:38.909 --> 00:01:40.090
in it. That's the only reason I've paid attention

00:01:40.090 --> 00:01:43.489
to it. He's in it too. I have some Hedonites,

00:01:43.590 --> 00:01:49.299
to be fair. The only reference I have is I watched

00:01:49.299 --> 00:01:51.879
all of Black Talon on Warhammer TV and I was

00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:58.099
like, this is very mid. Cool. Nice. Of course

00:01:58.099 --> 00:01:59.920
it was mid. It was an official Games Workshop

00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:07.079
animation. Hey, hey. They sometimes can... I

00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:11.319
enjoyed Angels of Death. It was fine. It's a

00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:15.069
crazy message we just got from Tygros. by the

00:02:15.069 --> 00:02:19.629
way, but we'll get to that. Yes, but today we're

00:02:19.629 --> 00:02:21.770
going to go, again, venturing into the mortal

00:02:21.770 --> 00:02:24.330
realms. The end times is over. We don't have

00:02:24.330 --> 00:02:26.590
to talk about end times anymore, but Colin's

00:02:26.590 --> 00:02:28.990
going to help guide us through what is the actual,

00:02:29.129 --> 00:02:32.289
I guess, technically, well, we'll end up there,

00:02:32.370 --> 00:02:35.270
the Age of Sigmar and Stormcast Eternals. Colin,

00:02:35.289 --> 00:02:38.659
you want to take it away? Sure thing. So, for

00:02:38.659 --> 00:02:41.659
the Stormcast... Before we start, ignore... I

00:02:41.659 --> 00:02:43.439
don't know what gameplay we got, but if it's

00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:47.240
Vermintide, ignore my terrible gameplay. It's...

00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:49.539
Well, if it's Vermintide, it's probably from

00:02:49.539 --> 00:02:52.680
my point of view, in which case, blame everyone

00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:55.479
else for my skill issue. It's never my fault.

00:02:55.580 --> 00:02:58.800
It is always them. I think I did it earlier today.

00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:02.180
Oh, man, I felt rusty. The game system feels

00:03:02.180 --> 00:03:05.379
so old now. Does it? Like, really old. Like,

00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:07.360
I just... Because... When you're used to playing

00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:09.479
Darktide, you have like armor or other things.

00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:13.479
Yeah. There's no sprinting, no nothing. It just

00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:17.300
feels bad. I don't want to get too sidetracked,

00:03:17.300 --> 00:03:20.280
but Darktide Sprinting feels like Halo Infinite

00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:23.000
Sprinting, where it's there to nullify the people

00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:25.840
who want sprinting, but it's like barely any

00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:29.289
faster. I don't know. I'm not playing Vermintide

00:03:29.289 --> 00:03:34.090
again. I'm not doing it. I'll do it. We'll get

00:03:34.090 --> 00:03:36.129
to that when we get... That's a different conversation.

00:03:37.310 --> 00:03:42.069
Sigmar. So, to start with the Stormcast, we gotta

00:03:42.069 --> 00:03:46.509
start with... You know, even before AOS was properly

00:03:46.509 --> 00:03:51.050
around. So, we cut to Sigmar floating in infinite

00:03:51.050 --> 00:03:55.830
nothingness after his fantasy got blown up. Hell

00:03:55.830 --> 00:04:01.199
yeah, coffee. But basically thinking, man, that

00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:04.259
whole end times thing kind of blew, didn't it?

00:04:05.020 --> 00:04:09.379
And eventually the mortal realms start coalescing.

00:04:09.379 --> 00:04:12.340
There's that Dracothian big dragon that helps

00:04:12.340 --> 00:04:14.539
form them. The winds of magic form them as well.

00:04:15.060 --> 00:04:20.779
And Sigmar, he's back on form a bit. He's still

00:04:20.779 --> 00:04:22.879
a god, still powerful, even though he lost. He's

00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:26.079
ready to try again. Fresh start and all that.

00:04:27.960 --> 00:04:30.759
So, he starts gathering his pantheon, which is

00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:34.759
all the old, well, a lot of the old figures from

00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:37.879
fantasy uplifted to godhood. Except for Gork

00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:39.920
and Mork, who just fused into one being, and

00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:43.920
now they've got Gorka Morka. And for the longest

00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:47.319
time, he's, doesn't change too much, right? It's

00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:51.120
like, same shit, different day. We've got, you

00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:55.019
know, fair enough, in fantasy. normal people

00:04:55.019 --> 00:04:57.600
held the line for like 10 000 years before the

00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:00.860
world blew up so that's pretty respectable it's

00:05:00.860 --> 00:05:03.639
be figureable same thing give it a chance let's

00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:06.199
work with it again there were no stormcast for

00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:09.740
most of what is age of sigmar's history technically

00:05:09.740 --> 00:05:13.920
given you know how unknown but how long the setting

00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:16.860
was before you know the part everyone cares about

00:05:16.860 --> 00:05:19.639
right does this say specifically in age of sigmar

00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:22.560
when the first humans are like I don't know if

00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:25.160
they are discovered or they take them from the

00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:28.699
souls of the end of the world, essentially, and

00:05:28.699 --> 00:05:30.839
they kind of just let them do their own thing.

00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:35.079
They can do that, but it's also been mentioned,

00:05:35.180 --> 00:05:38.160
for example, it's with the elves where it's like

00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:41.019
Teclis and all the other new elf gods were wandering

00:05:41.019 --> 00:05:44.300
around. Why are there very few elves? And then

00:05:44.300 --> 00:05:46.439
they found out a lot of them were still around

00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:50.079
just in Slaanesh. So there were some people kicking

00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:53.439
about. They did eventually kind of coalesce back

00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:55.939
into humanity, but there are also some old souls

00:05:55.939 --> 00:05:58.920
they can bring back. A little bit of both is

00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:04.319
the answer, basically. And for a while, again,

00:06:04.420 --> 00:06:07.000
just like in fantasy or, you know, 40k guard,

00:06:07.180 --> 00:06:09.259
normal people are holding the line pretty good.

00:06:09.500 --> 00:06:12.920
The Beastmen show up because there's Beastmen

00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:15.600
and they beat those well enough. Although, I'm

00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:17.420
going to be honest, saying you beat the Beastmen

00:06:17.420 --> 00:06:23.160
doesn't really mean anything. You beat the Beastmen,

00:06:23.220 --> 00:06:25.699
you aren't despised by GW, is what that means.

00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:29.959
You know, some Skaven invade, and even before,

00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:32.620
again, there's no Stormcast, but Sigmar, normal

00:06:32.620 --> 00:06:34.839
people, and the rest of the Pantheon destroy

00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:38.560
an entire great clan of them. Again, it's like

00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:40.319
old fantasy. There's some threats, but they're

00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:43.100
doing quite well, all the various... Non -chaotic

00:06:43.100 --> 00:06:45.160
threat of the mortal realms. Things are going

00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:49.500
fine. Then chaos starts creeping in. And again.

00:06:49.779 --> 00:06:53.680
Victories start mounting for chaos. And again.

00:06:53.740 --> 00:06:55.980
Sigmar is still at this point. Leading the charge

00:06:55.980 --> 00:06:59.819
himself. And below him are just mortal men. Just

00:06:59.819 --> 00:07:03.399
normal men and women. Spear in hand. Some gunpowder.

00:07:03.540 --> 00:07:07.160
Hold the line. Should we say. Is this at the

00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:09.720
point in which it's the age of myth. Which is

00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:13.860
like. supposedly thousands and thousands and

00:07:13.860 --> 00:07:15.600
thousands of years. No one really knows how long

00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:18.459
it is. It's not defined at all. It's not defined.

00:07:18.660 --> 00:07:22.860
It's kind of, it's like, it's like how we, we

00:07:22.860 --> 00:07:25.259
know the dark age of technology exists in 40

00:07:25.259 --> 00:07:30.959
K. Yeah, that's, that's about it. Sometimes we

00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:33.600
find cool toys from it. That's kind of what the

00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:35.740
age of myth is an age of Sigmar as an equivalent.

00:07:36.060 --> 00:07:38.879
Great time. Sometimes we find cool stuff from

00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:41.990
it. You're not going to get much info. And then

00:07:41.990 --> 00:07:46.110
Age of Myth ends when Chaos basically knocks

00:07:46.110 --> 00:07:50.709
on the door. Chaos starts barging in, and of

00:07:50.709 --> 00:07:54.290
course that is the Age of Chaos, which I believe

00:07:54.290 --> 00:07:56.589
officially begins. It's called the Battle of

00:07:56.589 --> 00:07:58.709
the Burning Skies. Give it a good name, if nothing

00:07:58.709 --> 00:08:04.129
else. This is the last big hurrah of Sigmar's

00:08:04.129 --> 00:08:06.689
pantheon, which at this point is just him in

00:08:06.689 --> 00:08:10.439
the gash, basically. As, you know, Sigmar takes

00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:13.459
to the field, leading his normal men and women,

00:08:13.579 --> 00:08:17.019
doing the best they can. Nagash backstabs him

00:08:17.019 --> 00:08:23.600
because, yes, such is the power of Nagash. Sigmar

00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:27.259
goes to beat up Nagash, realizes, oh, hey, there's

00:08:27.259 --> 00:08:30.579
still a fight going on, and goes back to the

00:08:30.579 --> 00:08:34.059
Battle of Burning Skies, loses Galmaraz, and

00:08:34.059 --> 00:08:38.059
is just like, well, I'm out. Have fun, everyone

00:08:38.059 --> 00:08:43.370
else. So he goes back to his realm of Azir, you

00:08:43.370 --> 00:08:46.070
know, the wind of the heavens magic, and just

00:08:46.070 --> 00:08:48.350
shuts the gates. You can't get in or out. No

00:08:48.350 --> 00:08:51.129
one is allowed. No one's leaving. No one's going

00:08:51.129 --> 00:08:54.250
in. And he basically just says, good luck, everyone

00:08:54.250 --> 00:08:58.129
else. I'm going to go work on something. Which

00:08:58.129 --> 00:09:01.149
incidentally, for those of you not too aware,

00:09:01.350 --> 00:09:03.529
Age of Sigmar is technically a post -apocalyptic

00:09:03.529 --> 00:09:06.450
setting. Because for however long the Age of

00:09:06.450 --> 00:09:08.649
Chaos went, they just kind of ran rampant across

00:09:08.649 --> 00:09:15.889
reality. If you weren't Malekith, you lost. He's

00:09:15.889 --> 00:09:19.070
the only one who got a 1v1 win against Archeon.

00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:23.779
I guess kind of the orcs were having fun. You

00:09:23.779 --> 00:09:25.899
know, it's the same as with the orcs in the other

00:09:25.899 --> 00:09:28.840
settings. All the orcs just like, it's not about

00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:31.759
the winning, it's the taking part. Yeah, it's

00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:34.500
like, you lost 90 % of your territory. I had

00:09:34.500 --> 00:09:37.539
fun doing it. It's the journey, not the destination,

00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:41.240
said the orcs. Yeah, so there's, you know, there's

00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:43.879
various holdouts because, you know, AOS has more

00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:47.159
armies than just the Stormcast. But it is...

00:09:47.659 --> 00:09:50.080
they were running rampant but in the meantime

00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:53.019
what sigmar was working on aside from telling

00:09:53.019 --> 00:09:55.019
everyone to get the hell off of his lawn and

00:09:55.019 --> 00:09:58.279
then enforcing that with lightning bolts was

00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:01.519
making you know men and women who are just go

00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:04.000
above and beyond what normal people can do you

00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:05.600
know they're the best of the best they're going

00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:09.440
to be his warriors who know no fear uh sickness

00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:12.059
shall harm them whatever the rest of that quote

00:10:12.059 --> 00:10:16.299
is from biggie it's uh he's making The best of

00:10:16.299 --> 00:10:19.600
the best and making them even better. So he's

00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:23.960
his way of being active for the next like few

00:10:23.960 --> 00:10:27.360
hundred years is he looks out across, you know,

00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:30.159
said this seven of the eight realms because his

00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:33.899
own is just shut off. And he looks for someone

00:10:33.899 --> 00:10:39.519
suitably heroic, basically. So let's say you

00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:42.320
and your buddies chaos is overrunning you. It's.

00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:47.940
It's last stand time. You are Noble Six. Right

00:10:47.940 --> 00:10:51.419
before you die, because you are otherwise going

00:10:51.419 --> 00:10:54.120
to die, Sigmar is going to reach down and just

00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:58.220
kind of grab you. And this is like before Nagash

00:10:58.220 --> 00:11:01.379
is basically already... Because I think, isn't

00:11:01.379 --> 00:11:04.600
it even despite Nagash who... He's only within

00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:08.299
one realm. He technically... Everyone who dies

00:11:08.299 --> 00:11:11.700
does go to Shaiish, is it? No, that has already

00:11:11.700 --> 00:11:15.590
been happening. Which is why, which we'll get

00:11:15.590 --> 00:11:18.629
into, Nagash off -rip hates the Stormcast. Nagash

00:11:18.629 --> 00:11:21.450
had, by this point, there used to be in, like,

00:11:21.450 --> 00:11:23.250
the background Age of Myth lore, there was a

00:11:23.250 --> 00:11:25.350
bunch of gods of the dead, and then Nagash ate

00:11:25.350 --> 00:11:29.830
them. Because that's just what he does when he

00:11:29.830 --> 00:11:33.330
has to share his toys. He's done it before. Yeah,

00:11:33.629 --> 00:11:35.350
he did that in the End Times, too. That was the

00:11:35.350 --> 00:11:38.330
first thing he did. My favorite weird explanation

00:11:38.330 --> 00:11:41.330
for it is, like, in, is it the Realm of Shaiish,

00:11:41.350 --> 00:11:44.879
right? Isn't it? They basically explain, like,

00:11:44.899 --> 00:11:47.179
Shaiish, because realms are, like, infinite.

00:11:47.620 --> 00:11:49.919
They have almost, like, anthill. You know if

00:11:49.919 --> 00:11:51.620
you have, like, what's that thing, and you can

00:11:51.620 --> 00:11:54.679
see, like, a little anthill creation? Ant farm,

00:11:55.960 --> 00:12:00.519
yeah. You basically have, like, different underworlds,

00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:04.419
like, in Shaiish, and Nagash is, like, he starts,

00:12:04.500 --> 00:12:06.340
the reason Nagash is able to eat the other gods

00:12:06.340 --> 00:12:09.779
is because they burrow into other, like, art

00:12:09.779 --> 00:12:13.179
supplies. Shaiish is, like, a collection of a

00:12:13.179 --> 00:12:15.179
bunch of different afterlives and Nagash just

00:12:15.179 --> 00:12:18.539
starts home invading these different afterlives

00:12:18.539 --> 00:12:21.940
and taking them over. He just goes, oh, that's

00:12:21.940 --> 00:12:25.299
a lovely buffet you got there. Well, at a certain

00:12:25.299 --> 00:12:28.940
point, that just turns into like a snowball going

00:12:28.940 --> 00:12:31.279
down a hill, right? You eat one death god, now

00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:33.279
you've got the power of two death gods, so you

00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:38.159
eat this next one easier. And yeah, that's what

00:12:38.159 --> 00:12:41.039
Nagash is doing for reference. It doesn't matter

00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:44.220
much at this point. And he's a skeleton. He's

00:12:44.220 --> 00:12:47.460
got no tendons or flesh, so he can just stand

00:12:47.460 --> 00:12:49.559
his jaw all the way and just be like... He's

00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:51.779
got an innate advantage. He's already a skeleton.

00:12:52.460 --> 00:12:55.759
He has no gag reflex. He's absolutely hammering

00:12:55.759 --> 00:13:00.080
it down. Thank you for specifying that. Before

00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:02.639
people thought the quality of lore crimes had

00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:05.299
improved, I wanted to bring the level down a

00:13:05.299 --> 00:13:09.960
little bit. The serious podcast. The entire hog.

00:13:13.899 --> 00:13:16.220
Slayer Barden on screen also. I need to mention

00:13:16.220 --> 00:13:20.240
that. Hell yeah, brother. Grimnir's strongest

00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:23.620
thrower. This guy was terrible at playing that

00:13:23.620 --> 00:13:29.179
game. He sabotaged it and just was running forward

00:13:29.179 --> 00:13:31.600
just like a maniac. You know what that is? More

00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:34.779
accurate. That's role -playing, Hal. He's not

00:13:34.779 --> 00:13:38.000
as killed, but like twice, I think. I'm sorry

00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:43.799
that you don't have a death oath. Sigmar, during

00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:46.840
this time, he's looking around, peeking out,

00:13:46.940 --> 00:13:49.759
looking for people doing heroic deaths. And given

00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:53.860
that, again, chaos is overrunning seven -eighths

00:13:53.860 --> 00:13:57.360
of all of reality, There's a whole lot of people

00:13:57.360 --> 00:14:00.700
dying what could qualify as a heroic death, right?

00:14:02.019 --> 00:14:04.080
It'd be like, you know, I'm sure, you know, for

00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:05.740
comparison, I'm sure it'd be like, you know,

00:14:05.740 --> 00:14:08.779
the Emperor scrying across the galaxy during

00:14:08.779 --> 00:14:11.480
the Horus heresy, looking at the five million

00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:13.919
different, like, Imperial Army units that are

00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:16.659
all dying horribly as Horus overruns them on

00:14:16.659 --> 00:14:19.379
his way to Terra. I'm sure there's a whole lot

00:14:19.379 --> 00:14:21.700
of last stands going on during that point. And

00:14:21.700 --> 00:14:23.500
during the Age of Chaos, a whole lot of that

00:14:23.500 --> 00:14:26.529
going on. so like i said you're about to get

00:14:26.529 --> 00:14:28.850
you know whacked by a chaos lord he'll be like

00:14:28.850 --> 00:14:31.649
it nope i think you're pretty tough i think you're

00:14:31.649 --> 00:14:34.970
cool so he will grab you and in a bolt of lightning

00:14:34.970 --> 00:14:41.149
you go to azir and he will reforge you anew uh

00:14:41.149 --> 00:14:44.330
this can also happen as you're dying usually

00:14:44.330 --> 00:14:46.570
as you just die though because if you wait too

00:14:46.570 --> 00:14:48.649
long nagash is going to send you to one of those

00:14:48.649 --> 00:14:51.450
underworlds But if it's just happening, which

00:14:51.450 --> 00:14:53.370
was shown in one of those, I think the animation

00:14:53.370 --> 00:14:57.690
trailer for fourth edition, you see Sigmar can

00:14:57.690 --> 00:15:00.450
take you from the gash if you're just quick enough

00:15:00.450 --> 00:15:05.629
with it as you die. We should briefly mention

00:15:05.629 --> 00:15:11.009
for this part, if you're thinking, what the hell

00:15:11.009 --> 00:15:13.669
has Sigmar been doing for probably a few hundred

00:15:13.669 --> 00:15:18.509
years? He was not alone. No. Do you want to talk

00:15:18.509 --> 00:15:21.059
about that, Colin? technically it's not his own

00:15:21.059 --> 00:15:24.720
work it's like his idea but yeah it's his idea

00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:28.100
uh he had some help as well from the dwarf god

00:15:28.100 --> 00:15:31.120
grungni who also made it to age of sigmar and

00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:35.799
was probably doing if if not the brunt of the

00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:38.080
work then i've no doubt grungni had like a majority

00:15:38.080 --> 00:15:42.220
stake in like designing the process because grungni

00:15:42.220 --> 00:15:45.879
makes the because the whole point like grungni

00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:50.379
was not with the basically the Dwardin, sorry.

00:15:51.179 --> 00:15:53.639
He kind of left them on their own in the Age

00:15:53.639 --> 00:15:56.159
of Chaos to be like, the strong will come out

00:15:56.159 --> 00:15:58.100
strong. And then later on he's like, I fucked

00:15:58.100 --> 00:16:03.919
up. It was too strong. Maybe that was a bit mean.

00:16:04.860 --> 00:16:07.860
Are you suggesting that Sigmar was the Steve

00:16:07.860 --> 00:16:10.159
Jobs of the operation? He was just like, I don't

00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:12.240
know how to build an iPhone. I'm just going to

00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:14.000
go on stage and tell you how great they are.

00:16:14.019 --> 00:16:15.779
I was like, thanks, Steve. Why are you here?

00:16:15.940 --> 00:16:20.279
Not quite that level of stealing the work. Sigmar,

00:16:20.340 --> 00:16:23.799
he does personally reforge people. He does get

00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:26.039
in the shops themselves and go to work. He's

00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:28.580
got that secret sauce. He's like, eh. But he

00:16:28.580 --> 00:16:32.220
was heavily held by Grumney. Because Grimley

00:16:32.220 --> 00:16:34.519
makes the actual thing that makes it happen,

00:16:34.659 --> 00:16:37.519
though, which is the anvil of apotheosis, I think.

00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:42.039
Yeah. The actual device. Yeah, but Sigmar is

00:16:42.039 --> 00:16:45.600
in there hammering away at it. What the hell

00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:48.080
was that? Someone scared the crap out of me there.

00:16:50.820 --> 00:16:53.799
Did my audio jump or something? That's why someone

00:16:53.799 --> 00:17:03.120
yelled. That was crazy. Eli? Andy? I didn't hear

00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:05.740
anything. I'm talking about Dora 2 in chat right

00:17:05.740 --> 00:17:09.480
now. I'm hearing demons in the stream, apparently.

00:17:09.539 --> 00:17:13.119
I'm like, what's going on? It's the voice of

00:17:13.119 --> 00:17:17.519
Sigmar, Hal. Listen to it. I love that Grundy

00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:22.920
was like, yeah, I'm not with my Dwarden. I'm

00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:28.910
going to be in Azir with the humans. Grimnir

00:17:28.910 --> 00:17:30.750
is the only member of the pantheon who stuck

00:17:30.750 --> 00:17:33.630
with Sigmar, and he did not stick with the dwarves.

00:17:35.990 --> 00:17:38.029
Grimnir, for his part, exploded, if you're wondering

00:17:38.029 --> 00:17:41.849
what happened to the other dwarf god. He committed

00:17:41.849 --> 00:17:49.259
Majin Vegeta. But so that's what Sigmar does

00:17:49.259 --> 00:17:51.359
this for basically hundreds and hundreds of years.

00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:54.079
Again, there's no solid, like the age of chaos

00:17:54.079 --> 00:17:57.359
lasted exactly this long. I have in my head 500

00:17:57.359 --> 00:18:01.839
years, but it's never, I don't believe like explicitly

00:18:01.839 --> 00:18:06.299
like it's this long. Everyone was too busy to

00:18:06.299 --> 00:18:08.579
write down, like, this year this happened and

00:18:08.579 --> 00:18:11.200
this date. It's like, I'm fighting for my life!

00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:14.460
There's a demon eating my mum! Like, oh no, this

00:18:14.460 --> 00:18:17.579
is bad. It's like, no one's keeping calendars

00:18:17.579 --> 00:18:19.519
in The Walking Dead because there are infinitely

00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:22.460
more pressing concerns to worry about than, what

00:18:22.460 --> 00:18:26.539
day is it? The cool part, though, is that Grungni,

00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:30.640
even though he helps Sigmar do this, he makes,

00:18:31.420 --> 00:18:35.720
like, demigods, doesn't he? He makes like six

00:18:35.720 --> 00:18:39.259
demigods that can, I forgot what they are called

00:18:39.259 --> 00:18:42.079
specifically, but they're the ones who are like

00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:45.500
the operators of the forge and they can never

00:18:45.500 --> 00:18:49.160
leave. They're only allowed in the Ample of Apotheosis

00:18:49.160 --> 00:18:51.579
and I think they're all called like the One or

00:18:51.579 --> 00:18:53.900
something in their own language. They're quite

00:18:53.900 --> 00:18:57.759
strange and they basically, like whatever the

00:18:57.759 --> 00:19:00.539
equivalent of like other versions of demigods

00:19:00.539 --> 00:19:03.420
they have for different gods. Grungni made six

00:19:03.420 --> 00:19:06.980
of these and they all basically always help Sigmar.

00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:09.480
And they kind of just, they're the ones who are

00:19:09.480 --> 00:19:12.019
like the actual, I guess, smiths that do the

00:19:12.019 --> 00:19:15.220
process, but they require Sigmar's power to make

00:19:15.220 --> 00:19:17.200
it work. Yeah, Sigmar's given him some divine

00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:23.519
juice to, you know, make his soldiers. And this

00:19:23.519 --> 00:19:26.660
just basically goes on. Sigmar is in a bit of

00:19:26.660 --> 00:19:29.470
a holding pattern because he's like, I... We

00:19:29.470 --> 00:19:31.589
kind of lost horribly. We need some more juice.

00:19:31.690 --> 00:19:34.210
I can see the second end times on the horizon,

00:19:34.329 --> 00:19:37.970
and I think I need something. Mortal people are

00:19:37.970 --> 00:19:40.230
just not cutting it on their own. I clearly need

00:19:40.230 --> 00:19:43.529
more. So hundreds and hundreds of years, he's

00:19:43.529 --> 00:19:46.470
just, again, grab someone, grab someone, grab

00:19:46.470 --> 00:19:49.869
someone, reforge their soul, and turn them into

00:19:49.869 --> 00:19:52.970
his Stormcast Eternals. And he probably would

00:19:52.970 --> 00:19:55.289
have kept doing this, but at a certain point,

00:19:55.759 --> 00:19:59.519
He gazed out across the worlds and was like,

00:19:59.599 --> 00:20:03.519
reality's kind of starting to buckle. I can see

00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:06.819
it breaking at the seams. And he basically was

00:20:06.819 --> 00:20:10.700
like, if I don't do it now, there might not be

00:20:10.700 --> 00:20:14.420
a world left to save. I think he does even in

00:20:14.420 --> 00:20:17.480
his own works. I read a book recently. Sigmar

00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:19.440
actually speaks and he says in his own words,

00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:23.029
he would have perfected the process. Yeah. Except

00:20:23.029 --> 00:20:25.650
the world, the realms were going to fall, so

00:20:25.650 --> 00:20:29.490
you had to... He was edging the apocalypse, that's

00:20:29.490 --> 00:20:31.849
all it was. The process isn't totally perfect,

00:20:31.950 --> 00:20:35.950
but there is no time left. Although there was

00:20:35.950 --> 00:20:38.589
also a little bit of, again, just some nice opportunism,

00:20:38.690 --> 00:20:42.170
because in the meantime, chaos does as chaos

00:20:42.170 --> 00:20:44.329
does, and when it wins, it just fights itself.

00:20:45.049 --> 00:20:47.809
So Khorne declared war on everyone else, and

00:20:47.809 --> 00:20:51.150
just kind of over, just started beating the snot

00:20:51.150 --> 00:20:54.019
out of everyone. So Sigmar saw that, saw that

00:20:54.019 --> 00:20:55.839
reality couldn't really handle chaos anymore.

00:20:55.980 --> 00:20:59.240
He was like, well, now's the time. So he threw

00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:02.640
open the gates of Azir and the Stormcast marched

00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:07.079
forth. And for the first time, and again, I have

00:21:07.079 --> 00:21:09.720
500 years in my head. There is no, I don't believe,

00:21:09.779 --> 00:21:11.619
like exact timeline between the Age of Chaos

00:21:11.619 --> 00:21:16.019
and the Age of Sigmar beginning. But Sigmar threw

00:21:16.019 --> 00:21:19.700
open the gates and in lightning storms, the Stormcast

00:21:19.700 --> 00:21:24.890
struck out. Before we get any further, though,

00:21:24.950 --> 00:21:28.990
should we do the first round of donations? That's

00:21:28.990 --> 00:21:34.269
a really good point. We've got DonkeyManUSA for

00:21:34.269 --> 00:21:37.410
$5 .00. Stream late because Hal is Balthazar

00:21:37.410 --> 00:21:43.549
-ing on that gelt. Supremes! Thank you, brothers.

00:21:43.750 --> 00:21:47.079
Thank you, DonkeyMan. i love that animation where

00:21:47.079 --> 00:21:49.180
it's just like i am supreme and then he's just

00:21:49.180 --> 00:21:51.140
like more of metal and he shoots a guy with a

00:21:51.140 --> 00:21:57.079
machine gun it's my favorite thing imperial science

00:21:57.079 --> 00:22:01.200
is the finest in the world dude ty bros the colorblind

00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:04.220

00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:09.839
what unbelievable statement man unbelievable

00:22:11.980 --> 00:22:14.759
It's not Chipmunks. It's Nightcore, and they

00:22:14.759 --> 00:22:17.940
put an anime girl in the thumbnail. This is for

00:22:17.940 --> 00:22:20.240
you, Colin, especially if I can see. Hey, guys.

00:22:20.619 --> 00:22:26.119
Nomius Chomsky. Thank you for the 10 euros. I

00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:29.559
love that name. That is a great name, man. Hey,

00:22:29.579 --> 00:22:31.700
guys. I hope everyone is doing well. Can't stay

00:22:31.700 --> 00:22:33.720
for much longer. Currently enjoying my well -deserved

00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:35.900
holidays in Greece. Enjoy your holidays, man.

00:22:36.059 --> 00:22:38.519
Enjoy. I wish you all a great rest of the day.

00:22:38.599 --> 00:22:42.380
Happy birthday, Colin. i mean we are it's been

00:22:42.380 --> 00:22:44.480
going on for so long we're getting now closer

00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:47.140
to my birthday than farther away from this colin

00:22:47.140 --> 00:22:50.980
is now colin is now according to the chat 275

00:22:50.980 --> 00:22:59.359
years old i've i looked at my notifications like

00:22:59.359 --> 00:23:02.319
on youtube like five in a row on five different

00:23:02.319 --> 00:23:05.160
videos people all just said the bone man comet

00:23:05.160 --> 00:23:08.869
what Here's the thing. Arthur Bones just did

00:23:08.869 --> 00:23:12.069
a video on Archeon slash Abaddon, and so he was

00:23:12.069 --> 00:23:14.450
like, I'm going to pick a fight with Colin, comment

00:23:14.450 --> 00:23:17.769
the bone man come up in his chat because of reasons.

00:23:18.069 --> 00:23:21.269
I can't remember why. I didn't have time to watch

00:23:21.269 --> 00:23:26.910
his video. Oh, well. The beef died here. Colin's

00:23:26.910 --> 00:23:30.109
husband, boiled up and bouncing, freaky style.

00:23:30.150 --> 00:23:32.130
Oh, that's attack of speed. Never mind, carry

00:23:32.130 --> 00:23:38.529
on. AOS the goat, raw. Rah! Rah! Man, these names

00:23:38.529 --> 00:23:42.869
are getting more creative. Donkey Man again out

00:23:42.869 --> 00:23:45.250
of the five. I convinced my sister to do art

00:23:45.250 --> 00:23:47.829
of the Great Horned Omnissiah. Drunk Donk can

00:23:47.829 --> 00:23:51.730
do anything, apparently. Share when she's done.

00:23:51.910 --> 00:23:56.589
Yeah, share when she's done. Shiloh Young with

00:23:56.589 --> 00:23:59.490
the fiver. First time watching live Loveless

00:23:59.490 --> 00:24:01.470
in the Owl Owl painting. That's my Sigmar male

00:24:01.470 --> 00:24:07.430
grind set. Thank you very much. Hey, me. How

00:24:07.430 --> 00:24:10.670
you doing? If people are listening along, let

00:24:10.670 --> 00:24:12.329
us know what you're painting in the comments.

00:24:12.490 --> 00:24:16.309
We'd love to know. Nylock for two Canadian. Colin's

00:24:16.309 --> 00:24:19.930
beautiful beard. Bet it got snacks in there.

00:24:20.769 --> 00:24:24.329
No, I make sure to clean those. Look, it's a

00:24:24.329 --> 00:24:26.569
beard. Sometimes food gets stuck, but I'm not

00:24:26.569 --> 00:24:30.990
an animal. Got bean for $2. Start digging in

00:24:30.990 --> 00:24:34.970
your progenoids, twin. Thank you, Wayne. Thank

00:24:34.970 --> 00:24:42.529
you for that. Pancreas' silliest clown for five.

00:24:42.670 --> 00:24:45.089
The Amber King be doing deadlifts for the dark

00:24:45.089 --> 00:24:47.369
gods on my remembrancer till my pancreas no work.

00:24:47.769 --> 00:24:51.049
That kind of goes hard, but I'll be honest. He's

00:24:51.049 --> 00:24:54.549
back. Collins has been oiled up and bouncing

00:24:54.549 --> 00:24:58.190
freaky style at the Fiverr again. Ah yes, the

00:24:58.190 --> 00:25:00.049
faction I want to buy every time I listen to

00:25:00.049 --> 00:25:02.160
Glory. Have a huge... Huge glory to have him

00:25:02.160 --> 00:25:06.059
mentioned. Also, first edition and the modern

00:25:06.059 --> 00:25:07.980
Stormcast have the biggest glow -up in history.

00:25:08.140 --> 00:25:12.660
I like the fat cast. I'm sorry. I miss them being

00:25:12.660 --> 00:25:18.079
all the size of Terminators. I think their new

00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:20.099
color scheme suits them better, though. No, they

00:25:20.099 --> 00:25:22.720
look... The quality's definitely improved. I

00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:25.940
just miss them being chunky. It's like Pikachu.

00:25:26.750 --> 00:25:29.170
Chonky Pikachu is better than modern Pikachu.

00:25:29.190 --> 00:25:31.029
I like him when he's got a little bit of heft.

00:25:32.289 --> 00:25:36.529
Delta Crafter for 100 ARS? Sorry, they're not

00:25:36.529 --> 00:25:41.150
familiar. 100 ARS? Wow. 100 ARS. Me when she

00:25:41.150 --> 00:25:45.769
rages on my Sigma until I stormcast eternal brackets

00:25:45.769 --> 00:25:48.950
such as the power of Nagash. P .S. Love the podcast

00:25:48.950 --> 00:25:50.730
and thank you so much for the good lore videos.

00:25:51.109 --> 00:25:53.289
Cheers, man. Thank you. Thank you very much.

00:25:54.190 --> 00:25:58.309
That's the cheese. Cheese PFP. 499 pounds. Thank

00:25:58.309 --> 00:26:02.390
you. I love cheese. Hey, Big E, show your homework

00:26:02.390 --> 00:26:05.930
and made it better, Sigmar. You're not saying

00:26:05.930 --> 00:26:10.950
Big Mo. Look, sometimes the two words at the

00:26:10.950 --> 00:26:12.710
end of the sentence turn into one words, all

00:26:12.710 --> 00:26:20.769
right? Crazy, hilarious. JP, thank you. Thank

00:26:20.769 --> 00:26:23.819
you for the 10 Australian dollars. you knew yunari

00:26:23.819 --> 00:26:26.559
lore when there's only so much lore on rule 34

00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:28.440
that's probably all the lower you're gonna get

00:26:28.440 --> 00:26:31.900
yeah i'm afraid your brain rule 34 is the end

00:26:31.900 --> 00:26:34.380
of the inari's lore yeah you know he's dead man

00:26:34.380 --> 00:26:36.619
the dream is dead you know that reminds me of

00:26:36.619 --> 00:26:39.140
i was watching a retrospective on uh barrier

00:26:39.140 --> 00:26:43.059
let's see the dlc for bioshock infinite and it's

00:26:43.059 --> 00:26:46.019
like dlc is trash but it spawned a whole new

00:26:46.019 --> 00:26:49.259
like genre of elizabeth art and it's like oh

00:26:49.259 --> 00:26:55.160
no Although I heard that Prince Uriel might be

00:26:55.160 --> 00:26:57.400
in the end of edition plotline. I think that

00:26:57.400 --> 00:26:59.160
was just some random comment that I read. But

00:26:59.160 --> 00:27:03.299
you never know. We don't know. Could be true.

00:27:04.140 --> 00:27:06.500
Prince Uriel is really cool. What the hell is

00:27:06.500 --> 00:27:09.480
going on in Fermatide? Overload? What the? You

00:27:09.480 --> 00:27:13.369
know what? I'm getting lost. How gameplay? Don't

00:27:13.369 --> 00:27:15.769
ask questions you'll never understand. I thought

00:27:15.769 --> 00:27:18.289
I was glad Colin got me to read Godric and Felix.

00:27:18.509 --> 00:27:22.150
I read Kinslayer recently. May you forever have

00:27:22.150 --> 00:27:26.730
the pancreas you deserve. Look, again, I've said

00:27:26.730 --> 00:27:32.789
it many times, that book hurt. JP with the five

00:27:32.789 --> 00:27:36.470
Australian dollars. This is for you, Eli. I'm

00:27:36.470 --> 00:27:40.200
going to let you read that. For you, when the

00:27:40.200 --> 00:27:43.259
Inari defeat Femboy, Demon, Fulgrim, and get

00:27:43.259 --> 00:27:46.859
the last Crone Sword, will you be happy or sad?

00:27:48.220 --> 00:27:50.220
They'll find a way to make both of them lose.

00:27:50.519 --> 00:27:55.240
That's what I think. Demon, Fulgrim does not

00:27:55.240 --> 00:27:57.339
get to win, and the Inari also don't get to win.

00:27:57.839 --> 00:28:00.460
So there will be no inevitable victory. There

00:28:00.460 --> 00:28:03.779
will be no good Fulgrim -Demon moments. Dude,

00:28:03.839 --> 00:28:07.900
I can give you the two paths this takes. One

00:28:07.900 --> 00:28:10.519
is that that just never happens. That fight never

00:28:10.519 --> 00:28:14.380
happens. And two is that Korn gets it. True.

00:28:15.240 --> 00:28:19.529
Starbrand's gonna show up. Or, or, or... you

00:28:19.529 --> 00:28:22.329
get Azdrabail Vect involved and he's the one

00:28:22.329 --> 00:28:23.970
who gets the crown sword and he's like, hey,

00:28:25.690 --> 00:28:27.609
you could save our entire species. He's like,

00:28:27.730 --> 00:28:30.089
no, I'm just a dick. But it looks quite nice

00:28:30.089 --> 00:28:33.950
over my fireplace. Exactly. If that did happen,

00:28:34.069 --> 00:28:36.430
I'd be happy because there's nothing to expect

00:28:36.430 --> 00:28:38.769
but pure defeat from Demon Primarchs anyways.

00:28:38.789 --> 00:28:43.170
I don't think I can even read that. Oh, I got

00:28:43.170 --> 00:28:48.759
it. Borborgimus Rumblesnort. Nice. But Colin,

00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:50.779
who was mowing all the lawns in Walking Dead?

00:28:50.900 --> 00:28:53.440
The same people who are leaving Starbucks cups

00:28:53.440 --> 00:28:56.779
and Game of Thrones sets. Also, public service

00:28:56.779 --> 00:28:59.880
announcement. Do not watch all 13 seasons of

00:28:59.880 --> 00:29:02.599
Walking Dead. It is not worth it. Also, Daryl

00:29:02.599 --> 00:29:05.480
Dixon's series is now on season three? When did

00:29:05.480 --> 00:29:08.900
that happen? I have no idea. Daryl Dixon's spin

00:29:08.900 --> 00:29:12.119
-off show. He has his own show. It's called Walking

00:29:12.119 --> 00:29:14.259
Dead Daryl Dixon. They're in France and they're

00:29:14.259 --> 00:29:17.619
introducing new zombie types. Stephen Merchant

00:29:17.619 --> 00:29:19.839
is the last living Brit, apparently, and he's

00:29:19.839 --> 00:29:21.460
on the show. I'm like, this is so silly. The

00:29:21.460 --> 00:29:27.500
last? The last, apparently. That's crazy. Main

00:29:27.500 --> 00:29:31.019
event, Virgil for five euros. Don't know why

00:29:31.019 --> 00:29:33.460
I'm asking people with all the autistic talent

00:29:33.460 --> 00:29:38.299
toadstool, but this... This, but what colour

00:29:38.299 --> 00:29:41.019
should I paint my Croxigor to go with my blue

00:29:41.019 --> 00:29:46.160
Soros? I hate Soros. Out of the three things

00:29:46.160 --> 00:29:49.599
I have to say, first of all, learn how to write

00:29:49.599 --> 00:29:53.200
if you're going to start throwing shade. It may

00:29:53.200 --> 00:29:55.799
not be his first language, to be fair. That's

00:29:55.799 --> 00:30:00.119
fair. To be fair, with blues, just maybe do either

00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:06.140
go turquoise or purples. I like the white Crocs.

00:30:06.200 --> 00:30:09.420
I know Crocodile. White's good, but then you

00:30:09.420 --> 00:30:13.640
do have to paint white, so good luck. Blue -green,

00:30:13.960 --> 00:30:18.200
a nice turquoise, that ain't a bad move. And

00:30:18.200 --> 00:30:20.559
third of all, as much as I hate to inflate Hal's

00:30:20.559 --> 00:30:23.680
ego on this more, he does paint well. One of

00:30:23.680 --> 00:30:26.980
us knows how to paint. He does. I paint okay.

00:30:27.099 --> 00:30:30.700
I think my Gatric is good. You have no idea how

00:30:30.700 --> 00:30:32.779
hard it was to not reach for a model just then.

00:30:34.220 --> 00:30:38.039
I'm sure. My will to draw me is laid out. Eli,

00:30:38.039 --> 00:30:41.079
I believe this one is another one for you. JP,

00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:44.180
thank you again. $5. Wanted to do a special shout

00:30:44.180 --> 00:30:46.720
out to Eli. Inspired me to get back to peak physical

00:30:46.720 --> 00:30:50.079
fitness. Got back to my 225 -kilogram deadlift.

00:30:50.099 --> 00:30:52.279
Pretty happy about that. That's freaking awesome.

00:30:53.539 --> 00:30:56.480
That's like 500 pounds. I need to go back to

00:30:56.480 --> 00:30:58.579
the gym, but there's nothing more demoralizing

00:30:58.579 --> 00:31:00.819
than going to the gym and being there for three

00:31:00.819 --> 00:31:03.099
hours and getting maybe 30 minutes of workout

00:31:03.099 --> 00:31:07.720
in. Because the person you're lifting with just

00:31:07.720 --> 00:31:12.099
leaves and starts talking to other people. Where's

00:31:12.099 --> 00:31:16.660
my spotter? We got one from the Dank Apostle.

00:31:16.700 --> 00:31:19.119
I haven't seen you in a while. The 14 Tsar. Hi,

00:31:19.259 --> 00:31:22.140
guys. Will we get a video on Malice Darkblade?

00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:24.500
I still need to read this book. Yeah, when I

00:31:24.500 --> 00:31:27.940
read that Omnibus, I will totally do it. Omnibus.

00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:32.500
Colin's husband oiled up and bouncing freaky

00:31:32.500 --> 00:31:35.500
style is back for the two bucks. Thank you. Happy

00:31:35.500 --> 00:31:38.039
birthday, by the way, Colin. Happy birthday.

00:31:40.119 --> 00:31:43.440
The Dank Apostle. The 14 Tsar. Opinions on the

00:31:43.440 --> 00:31:47.140
new Nightbringer. I got the OG one right here.

00:31:47.180 --> 00:31:50.880
He's not built. But I think he's very cool. No,

00:31:50.960 --> 00:31:53.059
I'll give them credit. They didn't sanguinary

00:31:53.059 --> 00:31:55.900
guard the model. Once again, Necrons just keep

00:31:55.900 --> 00:31:59.619
winning. Necrons just get good models. Look,

00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:03.140
I was just saying, Necrons and the war in heaven

00:32:03.140 --> 00:32:05.240
in the modeling side of things, at least, is

00:32:05.240 --> 00:32:09.259
still going strong. Necrons never lose. We get

00:32:09.259 --> 00:32:11.140
good books, good models. Don't look at the lore,

00:32:11.240 --> 00:32:15.410
though. Silent King will return to do basically

00:32:15.410 --> 00:32:17.710
nothing. One question I have. What about Lady

00:32:17.710 --> 00:32:21.009
Malice? New Drakkari model. Lady Malice finally

00:32:21.009 --> 00:32:24.869
got a model. She looks a bit too young. She does

00:32:24.869 --> 00:32:27.589
look young, but I don't know. She did shove a

00:32:27.589 --> 00:32:30.210
god's heart in place of her own. I'm sure that's

00:32:30.210 --> 00:32:33.710
helpful. I saw the two new models and I felt

00:32:33.710 --> 00:32:37.880
nothing. Not gonna lie. I'm waiting for them

00:32:37.880 --> 00:32:40.099
to bring back half of their model range that

00:32:40.099 --> 00:32:44.660
they obliterated. So we'll see. Look, it's a

00:32:44.660 --> 00:32:47.920
step in the right direction. It's a Dark Eldar

00:32:47.920 --> 00:32:51.180
named character. We'll see if they do anything

00:32:51.180 --> 00:32:53.299
else. That's the only thing I'm worried about.

00:32:53.619 --> 00:32:56.339
It also does look like Shadowheart from Baldur's

00:32:56.339 --> 00:33:02.880
Gate. Awuga, awuga, bark, bark. Cassidy Cheese

00:33:02.880 --> 00:33:07.660
for $9 ,000. Thank you, man. It's me, Big Mar.

00:33:07.880 --> 00:33:14.440
Big Mar. And then Sigmar saw the Stormcast and

00:33:14.440 --> 00:33:18.960
he said, Think Bigly. And then he unleashed all

00:33:18.960 --> 00:33:22.779
of his army. Bean with the Fiverr just destroyed

00:33:22.779 --> 00:33:27.700
and worshipper of chaos, ATF agent. Sigmar's

00:33:27.700 --> 00:33:32.240
divine lightning. The MG42. When he attempted

00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:35.259
to destroy a Sigmarite temple. Meth lab. You're

00:33:35.259 --> 00:33:37.380
real for that, Bane. You're real for that. You

00:33:37.380 --> 00:33:40.440
are Bane's strongest B -Day heister. That was

00:33:40.440 --> 00:33:42.019
very generous, and I thank you guys for coming

00:33:42.019 --> 00:33:48.980
back. Thank you. We missed you. Incoming backup

00:33:48.980 --> 00:33:51.660
with a 30 shekels. How are you guys? I hope for

00:33:51.660 --> 00:33:53.380
your sake you talk about the best Stormcast.

00:33:54.400 --> 00:33:56.819
Hamilcar, Bear Eater, Champion of the Gods, including

00:33:56.819 --> 00:33:59.940
Boingob. Otherwise, you'll be sleeping with rotisserie

00:33:59.940 --> 00:34:06.109
chicken. sleeping i've watched i've watched and

00:34:06.109 --> 00:34:08.489
read nothing of stormcast i thoroughly enjoyed

00:34:08.489 --> 00:34:11.030
his animation on hammer and bolter so he's my

00:34:11.030 --> 00:34:12.789
favorite age of sigmar character i'm actually

00:34:12.789 --> 00:34:15.190
gonna talk about him later that's the oh jesus

00:34:15.190 --> 00:34:20.030
christ it's a bad omen well first of all i hope

00:34:20.030 --> 00:34:24.289
you do better because i read ahead oh lord breaking

00:34:24.289 --> 00:34:29.260
schlong pancreas has tumor I started reading

00:34:29.260 --> 00:34:31.559
The Horus Heresy and they found more tumors on

00:34:31.559 --> 00:34:34.239
my pancreas. Also, Mr. Pancreas Man, what are

00:34:34.239 --> 00:34:38.280
we trading pancreases? I wish you the best, dog.

00:34:38.380 --> 00:34:47.340
Jesus Christ. Danger Tickle. No squat about AOS.

00:34:47.400 --> 00:34:50.219
Any recommended reading? Yeah, I will recommend

00:34:50.219 --> 00:34:53.440
the book I read for this episode, which is the

00:34:53.440 --> 00:34:56.829
Hamilcar Bear Eater. No, it's quite fun. It's

00:34:56.829 --> 00:35:00.210
a good book. And I would also reading a Warhammer

00:35:00.210 --> 00:35:05.150
fantasy book. All right. That's me. I would also

00:35:05.150 --> 00:35:07.789
recommend the gods and mortal short story collection.

00:35:08.530 --> 00:35:10.650
There's some nice fun reading. It's a bunch of

00:35:10.650 --> 00:35:12.309
different, like shorter stories. So it's good.

00:35:12.750 --> 00:35:16.909
And also the lore of metal man himself shows

00:35:16.909 --> 00:35:19.269
up in it. So if nothing else, you're reading

00:35:19.269 --> 00:35:21.789
both a fantasy and an age of Sigmar books. So,

00:35:21.789 --> 00:35:26.369
Hey, nice. Main event Virgil. I speak perfect

00:35:26.369 --> 00:35:32.369
English. I just don't proofread. So in that case,

00:35:32.389 --> 00:35:38.409
fuck you. In that case, we'll send Skarsnik's

00:35:38.409 --> 00:35:43.280
top guy for 50. Can we get a five -hour stream

00:35:43.280 --> 00:35:45.980
of Hal showing all his models? Just him. Everyone

00:35:45.980 --> 00:35:48.639
else just watches. Also something something circumcision.

00:35:49.880 --> 00:35:53.980
I would rather get a circumcision than do that.

00:35:54.280 --> 00:35:58.360
Why is circumcision hyphenated? Yeah. That's

00:35:58.360 --> 00:36:00.960
one word. At least it was cut in the middle,

00:36:00.960 --> 00:36:07.699
huh? Very funny. Very funny. Oh, man. Thank you,

00:36:07.719 --> 00:36:10.219
guys. Which one is it? The last one. The last

00:36:10.219 --> 00:36:22.920
one? Okay. I'm terrible at it, I literally cannot

00:36:22.920 --> 00:36:34.280
read this stuff. So where we left off about 15

00:36:34.280 --> 00:36:38.599
minutes ago... The gates of Azir are open and

00:36:38.599 --> 00:36:41.269
it's time to... Stormcast all over the place.

00:36:41.349 --> 00:36:43.989
It is officially the Age of Sigmar. So these,

00:36:44.190 --> 00:36:46.670
they become known as the Realmgate Wars. So for

00:36:46.670 --> 00:36:48.949
a bit of context, all of the different mortal

00:36:48.949 --> 00:36:53.489
realms are connected by what is known as Realmgates.

00:36:53.530 --> 00:36:55.349
Maybe I shouldn't be giving people shit for speaking

00:36:55.349 --> 00:36:59.949
properly. But yeah, that's how you get from one

00:36:59.949 --> 00:37:02.590
realm to another. There are, like, if you're

00:37:02.590 --> 00:37:05.070
a sufficiently powerful mage or a god, you can

00:37:05.070 --> 00:37:08.670
just kind of teleport with magic. But if you

00:37:08.670 --> 00:37:12.000
aren't, and you're like most people and you just

00:37:12.000 --> 00:37:14.420
kind of got to hoof it, you can go through a

00:37:14.420 --> 00:37:18.800
Realm Gate. There are a couple. In any given

00:37:18.800 --> 00:37:21.420
area, you can probably find at least one, but

00:37:21.420 --> 00:37:24.019
there are also a few that connect to multiple

00:37:24.019 --> 00:37:29.960
realms and various other places. So Sigmar opens

00:37:29.960 --> 00:37:33.019
all the Realm Gates in Azir and just sends out

00:37:33.019 --> 00:37:35.820
the Stormcast. She's like, you need to make an

00:37:35.820 --> 00:37:39.789
entrance now because we are out of time. And

00:37:39.789 --> 00:37:43.449
to their credit, they do. As Khorne is busy,

00:37:43.590 --> 00:37:46.010
you know, Chaos is infighting, Khorne's fighting

00:37:46.010 --> 00:37:50.769
a 3v1 and winning because GW knows who their

00:37:50.769 --> 00:37:52.530
favorite god is. Although I guess Nurgle has

00:37:52.530 --> 00:37:54.849
been kind of taking that spot with all the games

00:37:54.849 --> 00:37:58.969
and stuff lately. But irrelevant. All of these

00:37:58.969 --> 00:38:03.050
warriors, they start flowing out and begin pardon

00:38:03.050 --> 00:38:06.550
me, just putting in the work across all of the

00:38:06.550 --> 00:38:10.920
different mortal realms they begin reclaiming

00:38:10.920 --> 00:38:15.099
land from chaos uh the first one i believe was

00:38:15.099 --> 00:38:17.780
actually the realm of fire where they which is

00:38:17.780 --> 00:38:19.980
where a lot of the early stormcast art of uh

00:38:19.980 --> 00:38:22.639
stormcast versus coronate warriors comes from

00:38:22.639 --> 00:38:25.679
they just go head to head with corn corns obviously

00:38:25.679 --> 00:38:29.159
i mean of course he's loving it because what

00:38:29.159 --> 00:38:31.440
is this if not a whole lot of blood being spilled

00:38:32.539 --> 00:38:35.059
uh stormcast are giving them hell corn's fighting

00:38:35.059 --> 00:38:37.300
but they're they're pushing they're pushing chaos

00:38:37.300 --> 00:38:41.119
back on all fronts uh they go to in come on i

00:38:41.119 --> 00:38:43.519
don't i also don't does anyone know as an as

00:38:43.519 --> 00:38:46.960
an aside at least eli or hal i know andy fantasy's

00:38:46.960 --> 00:38:49.420
not as much your wheelhouse the wind of metal

00:38:49.420 --> 00:38:51.639
come on has anyone ever figured out how to say

00:38:51.639 --> 00:38:55.130
that How's it spelled? I don't know. C -H -A

00:38:55.130 --> 00:38:58.730
-M -O -N. Like MJ did it. C -H would be like

00:38:58.730 --> 00:39:01.650
chimera, so come on. I say come on, but that's

00:39:01.650 --> 00:39:03.809
only because it sounds like hamon from Jojo,

00:39:03.889 --> 00:39:06.170
which is probably not a valid... I will use my

00:39:06.170 --> 00:39:08.250
hamon! It's really useful in the second season,

00:39:08.349 --> 00:39:10.570
and third, it's freaking useless, because we

00:39:10.570 --> 00:39:14.389
have stans now. Cool. Thanks, old man. But in

00:39:14.389 --> 00:39:19.170
come on, they pull out a real W, and they discover

00:39:19.170 --> 00:39:23.900
and return... Galmaraz to Sigmar after it had

00:39:23.900 --> 00:39:27.039
been tricked away from him by Archeon and Zeech.

00:39:27.239 --> 00:39:30.679
Shout out to the guy, Nylok, in the comment section.

00:39:30.820 --> 00:39:35.119
He literally just wrote, you know, F I love goats.

00:39:35.460 --> 00:39:39.860
Like, fuck I love goats. Crazy comment. That's

00:39:39.860 --> 00:39:44.989
crazy, man. Thank you. Thank you, Boris. comment

00:39:44.989 --> 00:39:47.250
highlights. I'd like to share this one from Rox.

00:39:47.369 --> 00:39:49.250
I finished streaming at work on Monday. Just

00:39:49.250 --> 00:39:50.510
want to let you boys know that you're amazing

00:39:50.510 --> 00:39:52.230
Warhammer channels. Each of your channels offers

00:39:52.230 --> 00:39:54.190
a unique take on the lore of these things. That

00:39:54.190 --> 00:39:59.309
was really nice. Thanks, Rox. Hammond was the

00:39:59.309 --> 00:40:01.409
best age of Jojo, by the way. Those are my favorite

00:40:01.409 --> 00:40:05.989
seasons. I like it, but I also there's some wackiness

00:40:05.989 --> 00:40:09.590
that stands bring that I can't hate in heaven.

00:40:10.530 --> 00:40:15.739
Fair. Very fair. Yeah, the Stormcast are back

00:40:15.739 --> 00:40:19.440
with, well, they're here with a vengeance, and

00:40:19.440 --> 00:40:21.019
they're going throughout all the different mortal

00:40:21.019 --> 00:40:25.900
realms. With Galmoraz reclaimed, Sigmar can,

00:40:26.039 --> 00:40:29.719
again, not quite perfect the process of the Stormcast,

00:40:30.019 --> 00:40:33.719
but he can awaken the Celestin Prime, his ace

00:40:33.719 --> 00:40:36.280
in the hole, who has never been confirmed, but

00:40:36.280 --> 00:40:38.000
it's absolutely Karl Franz, and I'm not going

00:40:38.000 --> 00:40:42.650
to hear anything against that. His super is Stormcast,

00:40:42.909 --> 00:40:46.730
the primark of the Stormcast Eternals. He sends

00:40:46.730 --> 00:40:51.269
him out, and Stormcast, it's nothing but Stormcast

00:40:51.269 --> 00:40:53.610
wins. Stormcast stocks are at an all -time high.

00:40:54.829 --> 00:40:57.269
I hope you sell now, because in future editions,

00:40:57.449 --> 00:41:01.510
they are at an all -time low. But for now, this

00:41:01.510 --> 00:41:06.329
is their debut. As both in -universe and as an

00:41:06.329 --> 00:41:09.329
army you can buy, they're here swinging. Uh,

00:41:09.429 --> 00:41:11.530
they go out, they, uh, in, uh, what is it? In

00:41:11.530 --> 00:41:14.210
Gairan, the, uh, the realm of life. They ally

00:41:14.210 --> 00:41:16.170
with a L 'Oreal, you know, they bring her back

00:41:16.170 --> 00:41:18.090
to life because she kind of died, but she's,

00:41:18.090 --> 00:41:19.909
you know, a nature goddess. So, you know, rebirth,

00:41:20.110 --> 00:41:22.730
death, all that crap. L 'Oreal's back and ready

00:41:22.730 --> 00:41:27.630
to throw hands, uh, in Shaiish. Well, they do

00:41:27.630 --> 00:41:30.010
start fighting chaos and then Nagash goes, well,

00:41:30.070 --> 00:41:32.769
actually I was going to do that better. And also

00:41:32.769 --> 00:41:34.929
he starts killing Stormhost too, because of course

00:41:34.929 --> 00:41:38.360
he does. But it is overall, this is the Stormcast

00:41:38.360 --> 00:41:40.739
grand appearance, and they begin reclaiming lands

00:41:40.739 --> 00:41:43.199
in the Age of Sigmar across the mortal realms.

00:41:44.119 --> 00:41:46.940
Where they go, Sigmar's still got, he's still

00:41:46.940 --> 00:41:48.780
got, you know, the armies of mortal men, you

00:41:48.780 --> 00:41:51.920
know, mere men and women going forward. And they

00:41:51.920 --> 00:41:54.719
start fortifying kind of the Stormcast. It's

00:41:54.719 --> 00:41:57.300
kind of like the, it is in a lot of ways like

00:41:57.300 --> 00:41:59.539
the Space Marine Legions of old as well, where

00:41:59.539 --> 00:42:03.000
Big E sends in the legions, they go break everything

00:42:03.000 --> 00:42:06.219
on a planet. And, you know, then the army comes

00:42:06.219 --> 00:42:08.239
up, you know, mops up any remaining resistance,

00:42:08.659 --> 00:42:11.460
fortifies, brings it into compliance, all that.

00:42:11.840 --> 00:42:14.960
It's like that. The cities of Sigmar, as they

00:42:14.960 --> 00:42:17.400
are, march behind the storm hosts, giving them

00:42:17.400 --> 00:42:20.659
some help. fortifying it so the Stormcast can

00:42:20.659 --> 00:42:23.059
move on to the next big battle. What are you

00:42:23.059 --> 00:42:25.719
shaking your head at, am I? Eli says in the chat,

00:42:25.840 --> 00:42:29.119
I hate short people. I was trying to team kill

00:42:29.119 --> 00:42:31.619
the freaking dwarf in Vermintide. He wasn't moving,

00:42:31.800 --> 00:42:33.579
he wasn't accepting the shock. Shotgun blast

00:42:33.579 --> 00:42:36.679
to the face, unbelievable. No, I gotta be honest,

00:42:36.739 --> 00:42:39.059
the way you phrased that, Colin, with like the

00:42:39.059 --> 00:42:43.090
support standing... behind this gold clad bunch

00:42:43.090 --> 00:42:44.949
of giants like oh yeah we're gonna help like

00:42:44.949 --> 00:42:47.210
they can't kill whatever we're fighting i don't

00:42:47.210 --> 00:42:52.429
know oh yeah i'll help i mean look they still

00:42:52.429 --> 00:42:55.030
got guns right i mean it's warhammer if you have

00:42:55.030 --> 00:42:57.010
a gun you can still help at least a little bit

00:42:57.010 --> 00:43:00.829
it's the same as lasguns right one you know awful

00:43:00.829 --> 00:43:03.690
flintlock musket ain't gonna do anything 20 of

00:43:03.690 --> 00:43:05.869
them pointed at a bloodthirster hey it'll probably

00:43:05.869 --> 00:43:09.820
hurt at least a bit I've seen their stat lines.

00:43:10.000 --> 00:43:12.719
I mean, if a hundred guardsmen can't take down

00:43:12.719 --> 00:43:15.300
a blood letter, a blood first with their last

00:43:15.300 --> 00:43:17.760
guns, at least you have a fun light show, I guess.

00:43:17.840 --> 00:43:20.900
Yeah. I would also like, I would also like to

00:43:20.900 --> 00:43:24.239
point out that in a, in 40 K, uh, space Marines

00:43:24.239 --> 00:43:27.460
were strength four and a average Imperial army

00:43:27.460 --> 00:43:31.179
captain is also strength four. So maybe they

00:43:31.179 --> 00:43:32.840
can do it because they're just built different

00:43:32.840 --> 00:43:38.139
over in a different. sigmar's weakest imperial

00:43:38.139 --> 00:43:41.159
captain fighting the emperor's strongest strongest

00:43:41.159 --> 00:43:44.679
ultramarine and then the custodian arrives and

00:43:44.679 --> 00:43:53.280
goes and then that oh no oh no oh goofy um yeah

00:43:53.280 --> 00:43:55.579
the stormcast they're they're getting you know

00:43:55.579 --> 00:43:59.860
they're all out and about now this early on again

00:43:59.860 --> 00:44:03.960
uh this was the army's introduction so obviously

00:44:04.800 --> 00:44:07.559
the storm cast moving out across seven of the

00:44:07.559 --> 00:44:11.039
eight realms and wrecking shop it's like every

00:44:11.039 --> 00:44:13.579
time gw introduces a new army or character right

00:44:13.579 --> 00:44:16.659
they are the best of the best ever that's if

00:44:16.659 --> 00:44:19.280
you haven't noticed that that's how warhammer

00:44:19.280 --> 00:44:21.619
works see again you know the tomb king showing

00:44:21.619 --> 00:44:24.360
up and they burned their way to norsca because

00:44:24.360 --> 00:44:27.679
cetra lost his hat or the tau showing up and

00:44:27.679 --> 00:44:30.820
being better than everyone else or the leagues

00:44:30.820 --> 00:44:33.199
of otan a new army shows up and gw gives them

00:44:33.199 --> 00:44:35.360
you know Fluffs them off a bit. It is what it

00:44:35.360 --> 00:44:41.619
is. Fluffs them off is crazy. But, you know,

00:44:41.659 --> 00:44:45.880
the cracks are still showing a little bit. Not

00:44:45.880 --> 00:44:49.639
much. Not much. The Celestin Prime does one shot

00:44:49.639 --> 00:44:52.260
at even the size of a continent. So, you know,

00:44:52.260 --> 00:44:56.579
the cracks aren't showing that much. But it's...

00:44:56.579 --> 00:45:02.320
There are some problems. One is that... Sigmar

00:45:02.320 --> 00:45:04.500
never quite perfected the reforging process.

00:45:05.360 --> 00:45:07.880
So usually the first time Sigmar brings you back,

00:45:08.059 --> 00:45:12.079
you're mostly the same. You are mostly the same,

00:45:12.099 --> 00:45:13.380
but you'll probably get, you'll probably take

00:45:13.380 --> 00:45:16.699
on a new name, but that's, I mean, you know,

00:45:16.699 --> 00:45:18.360
even space Marines do that, right? You know,

00:45:18.360 --> 00:45:19.900
they're not the same person they were before

00:45:19.900 --> 00:45:21.679
they came out of Marine, right? And you know,

00:45:21.699 --> 00:45:25.079
you're born anew. Some memories are forgotten

00:45:25.079 --> 00:45:28.210
even during the first time you're reforged. But

00:45:28.210 --> 00:45:29.969
you're by and large the same person, just, you

00:45:29.969 --> 00:45:32.829
know, a little bit more heroic, noble, you know,

00:45:32.829 --> 00:45:35.550
Sigmar -y, a lot more lightning coming out of

00:45:35.550 --> 00:45:40.690
you, all that good stuff. Second time, you kind

00:45:40.690 --> 00:45:45.369
of start losing some memories. It's not great.

00:45:45.710 --> 00:45:48.769
Again, when the Stormcast, I guess, oh, yeah,

00:45:48.829 --> 00:45:50.130
I kind of breezed over that, though, didn't I?

00:45:50.610 --> 00:45:52.730
Dude, that is another. When the Stormcast die.

00:45:53.309 --> 00:45:56.909
They bolt back to Azir to be re -reforged. Brought

00:45:56.909 --> 00:45:59.690
back again. Get back in the fight, buddy. Once

00:45:59.690 --> 00:46:01.550
you get to that second time, though, it's like

00:46:01.550 --> 00:46:05.409
you're losing a little bit of yourself. Again,

00:46:05.530 --> 00:46:08.610
it's not too bad, but it does start adding up.

00:46:09.190 --> 00:46:12.650
Interesting. They even say, as we mentioned earlier,

00:46:12.769 --> 00:46:15.969
there's six demigod dwarves that, well, Dwarden,

00:46:15.989 --> 00:46:22.250
sorry, that the spirits of Grungni that they

00:46:22.250 --> 00:46:26.510
even say like with the forge like sometimes you

00:46:26.510 --> 00:46:29.389
can die and then you're like ready to come back

00:46:29.389 --> 00:46:31.369
out and be reforged in a few months some of them

00:46:31.369 --> 00:46:34.949
it could be centuries like depending on how much

00:46:34.949 --> 00:46:37.849
your spirit is like wounded or like it's the

00:46:37.849 --> 00:46:40.409
same way in which like if you're smelting not

00:46:40.409 --> 00:46:42.590
a hundred percent of the thing is turned into

00:46:42.590 --> 00:46:45.420
ore each time yeah and i guess that's the way

00:46:45.420 --> 00:46:48.199
it is with like their spirit or their souls yeah

00:46:48.199 --> 00:46:50.920
it's like that but with your physical your your

00:46:50.920 --> 00:46:54.659
very essence yeah like no like sometimes it's

00:46:54.659 --> 00:46:57.480
better and it's like oh we got like we got 99

00:46:57.480 --> 00:47:02.019
of him or we got 98 or you know 90 and other

00:47:02.019 --> 00:47:06.019
times like he is 60 him so i was like yeah it's

00:47:06.019 --> 00:47:07.980
you know it'll depend on who killed you right

00:47:07.980 --> 00:47:10.139
like if you know you're the unlucky stormcast

00:47:10.139 --> 00:47:12.780
who's you know player rolled the one on the save

00:47:12.780 --> 00:47:16.000
and he got shanked by a goblin you're probably

00:47:16.000 --> 00:47:19.300
coming back you know 99 of you's fine the other

00:47:19.300 --> 00:47:21.320
stormcast are gonna make fun of you for the rest

00:47:21.320 --> 00:47:23.960
of your life because you got shanked by a little

00:47:23.960 --> 00:47:27.840
goblin you're gonna be fine archaeon gives you

00:47:27.840 --> 00:47:30.340
the one two slamorama and it's like oh you're

00:47:30.340 --> 00:47:34.130
gonna be scraping bits of soul off the wall I

00:47:34.130 --> 00:47:36.489
got two things. One, it just reminds me of something.

00:47:36.570 --> 00:47:38.469
I can't remember the references, but I think

00:47:38.469 --> 00:47:40.010
it's Red Dwarf, but I'm not sure. But it's just

00:47:40.010 --> 00:47:43.349
like, I feel bits of my brain falling away like

00:47:43.349 --> 00:47:46.909
a wet cake. But it just makes me think like there's

00:47:46.909 --> 00:47:50.030
a dreadnought in 40K called Sobchak, and he's

00:47:50.030 --> 00:47:52.559
like a thousand plus years old. and he's all

00:47:52.559 --> 00:47:55.000
like back in my day space marines were better

00:47:55.000 --> 00:47:58.300
and he's at a state where he when he's deployed

00:47:58.300 --> 00:48:00.619
he doesn't realize where he is he thinks he's

00:48:00.619 --> 00:48:03.139
still fighting when he was still like an imperial

00:48:03.139 --> 00:48:06.179
fist so i'm like i wonder if you put like a storm

00:48:06.179 --> 00:48:09.679
cast next to a dreadnought what the comparative

00:48:09.679 --> 00:48:12.460
amnesia is of like how many times you put them

00:48:12.460 --> 00:48:15.659
out there like you only lose memory if you die

00:48:15.659 --> 00:48:19.139
or you lose memory every time you get put out

00:48:19.139 --> 00:48:23.719
there i wonder the storm cards that have died

00:48:23.719 --> 00:48:25.760
quite a lot they don't have confusion necessarily

00:48:25.760 --> 00:48:28.599
they just you just lose if you lose memory you

00:48:28.599 --> 00:48:31.739
lose parts of you lose parts of who you are though

00:48:31.739 --> 00:48:35.000
so like it's the memory yeah it's almost like

00:48:35.000 --> 00:48:37.139
a side effect of them just losing part of their

00:48:37.139 --> 00:48:41.699
soul like it's not off in the mic colin oh sorry

00:48:41.699 --> 00:48:44.659
you know i i set it down i was holding it when

00:48:44.659 --> 00:48:50.250
i was speaking my bad When I move, I need to

00:48:50.250 --> 00:48:52.449
invest in a mic stand because it sounds nice

00:48:52.449 --> 00:48:55.030
and good. Hey, Colin, nice wind tunnel you're

00:48:55.030 --> 00:49:01.329
in. Again, memories are what make you, so therefore

00:49:01.329 --> 00:49:03.210
if you have less of them, you kind of become

00:49:03.210 --> 00:49:05.809
more like automatons almost. You're just killing

00:49:05.809 --> 00:49:09.809
machines. Once you start getting up there in

00:49:09.809 --> 00:49:14.360
the reforgings... Sigmar fills in the missing

00:49:14.360 --> 00:49:17.139
bits of soul with, like, Azerite magic and his

00:49:17.139 --> 00:49:21.360
own divine power, which gets him back in the

00:49:21.360 --> 00:49:25.000
fight. They're less of themselves, which will,

00:49:25.079 --> 00:49:28.980
as we get on, that will eventually become a bit

00:49:28.980 --> 00:49:30.739
more relevant. We're still early on, though.

00:49:30.920 --> 00:49:33.219
The Stormcast are, again, they're very powerful.

00:49:33.360 --> 00:49:36.739
They throw down quite well. not really any of

00:49:36.739 --> 00:49:38.880
them have been reforged enough for this to become

00:49:38.880 --> 00:49:41.280
too prevalent of a problem at this point. That's

00:49:41.280 --> 00:49:44.219
like, you know, one real unlucky guy keeps getting

00:49:44.219 --> 00:49:47.699
ganked by goblins sucks to be that guy, but you

00:49:47.699 --> 00:49:50.219
know, maybe the most of them are, you know, kicking

00:49:50.219 --> 00:49:53.820
ass, taking names. Uh, they, again, they don't

00:49:53.820 --> 00:49:55.860
clear all the mortal realms because a lot, it's

00:49:55.860 --> 00:49:59.030
something. A lot of people don't know, but even

00:49:59.030 --> 00:50:00.769
at this point, like most of the mortal realms

00:50:00.769 --> 00:50:02.809
are held by chaos. Sigmar and them, they're pushing

00:50:02.809 --> 00:50:05.110
back. They're finally reclaiming lands. And as

00:50:05.110 --> 00:50:08.369
the rest of the gods kind of wake up, they're

00:50:08.369 --> 00:50:12.429
claiming land back. But most of the realms are

00:50:12.429 --> 00:50:14.730
held by chaos. But the Stormcast, alongside,

00:50:15.030 --> 00:50:16.650
you know, any allies they make, the cities of

00:50:16.650 --> 00:50:18.949
Sigmar, the mortals, they're taking back land.

00:50:19.110 --> 00:50:22.190
They're doing very good. This is the Realm Gate

00:50:22.190 --> 00:50:25.099
Wars. As they pour out of Realm Gates. re -fortify

00:50:25.099 --> 00:50:27.340
them and these realm gates will usually become

00:50:27.340 --> 00:50:30.420
like cities of sigmar different cities uh and

00:50:30.420 --> 00:50:35.820
become bastions of order uh they uh they do the

00:50:35.820 --> 00:50:38.019
uh what i say you know it's kind of like the

00:50:38.019 --> 00:50:40.719
end of their hail mary where it's like just mad

00:50:40.719 --> 00:50:43.199
rush blitzkrieg across the realms becomes when

00:50:43.199 --> 00:50:45.940
they uh siege the eight points it's called or

00:50:45.940 --> 00:50:48.920
the all points uh depending on if you are a chaos

00:50:48.920 --> 00:50:53.480
show or not That's a spot where, from there,

00:50:53.579 --> 00:50:55.320
you can get anywhere in the Mortal Realms. The

00:50:55.320 --> 00:50:58.760
Stormcast decide, let's go for gold. We've made

00:50:58.760 --> 00:51:03.159
it this far. Let's push for it. And they storm

00:51:03.159 --> 00:51:05.519
the Eight Points, which is Archeon's personal

00:51:05.519 --> 00:51:09.719
fortress. Upside of the Stormcast, they do manage

00:51:09.719 --> 00:51:13.420
to seal off some of the Realm Gates, particularly

00:51:13.420 --> 00:51:16.139
the ones to, what is it? What do you call them?

00:51:16.679 --> 00:51:18.980
Akshi and Gyren, the Realms of Fire and Life.

00:51:19.139 --> 00:51:21.889
So, hey. We blocked off Chaos from those realms.

00:51:22.030 --> 00:51:24.230
Not completely, obviously. There are a lot of

00:51:24.230 --> 00:51:26.889
other realm gates, but the easiest access points,

00:51:27.090 --> 00:51:30.050
we're good. We cleared those out. Chaos has to

00:51:30.050 --> 00:51:33.630
try a bit harder now. On the downside, it's Archeon's

00:51:33.630 --> 00:51:36.010
personal fortress. He's not going to let you

00:51:36.010 --> 00:51:38.349
just come into his shop and just start smashing

00:51:38.349 --> 00:51:42.889
the place about. So those Stormcasts, they get

00:51:42.889 --> 00:51:49.840
obliterated. Again, they can respawn. This is,

00:51:49.860 --> 00:51:53.179
I think, probably the first time in Warhammer

00:51:53.179 --> 00:51:56.519
where, you know, the good guy faction gets their

00:51:56.519 --> 00:52:00.059
own infinite, like, little trick hack. So they,

00:52:00.159 --> 00:52:03.300
from some point of view, it could be a worthy

00:52:03.300 --> 00:52:07.179
sacrifice. Some of those Stormcastles don't quite

00:52:07.179 --> 00:52:09.840
make it back because, again, Archeon is there

00:52:09.840 --> 00:52:13.079
personally. But, again, this is overall, it's

00:52:13.079 --> 00:52:15.530
been victory after victory. They've been pushing

00:52:15.530 --> 00:52:18.110
forward. They made their presence known, and

00:52:18.110 --> 00:52:21.090
for the first time in hundreds of years, there's

00:52:21.090 --> 00:52:24.409
hope again. Sigmar's back, and we're ready to

00:52:24.409 --> 00:52:33.949
fight. And then, I'm trying to, you know, I'm

00:52:33.949 --> 00:52:36.369
wondering if it's part of a real -world reaction,

00:52:36.690 --> 00:52:39.010
right? Because the Stormcast came right after

00:52:39.010 --> 00:52:41.989
the End Times, and Age of Sigmar's big introduction

00:52:41.989 --> 00:52:46.420
from a modeling range. was goodbye fantasy hello

00:52:46.420 --> 00:52:51.559
space marines so after this these stormcasts

00:52:51.559 --> 00:52:55.099
kind of begin their three editions long losing

00:52:55.099 --> 00:52:59.719
streak not completely losing they don't completely

00:52:59.719 --> 00:53:03.340
obliterate the faction but this is where we get

00:53:03.340 --> 00:53:08.400
to the the soul wars where nagash is a on on

00:53:08.400 --> 00:53:12.119
brand so part of the reforging process's problem

00:53:12.119 --> 00:53:14.219
aside from it sigmar was never able to perfect

00:53:14.219 --> 00:53:17.079
it is that every time a stormcast dies in the

00:53:17.079 --> 00:53:19.460
field of battle part of their soul being lost

00:53:19.460 --> 00:53:23.500
is because nagash creeps on and is like give

00:53:23.500 --> 00:53:27.119
me that give me that you are you're you should

00:53:27.119 --> 00:53:29.679
have been dead like three deaths ago i'm taking

00:53:29.679 --> 00:53:32.519
i'm taking your soul you can't quite perfect

00:53:32.519 --> 00:53:34.980
it Unless Nagash is there in person, because

00:53:34.980 --> 00:53:36.980
if Nagash is there in person fighting Stormcast,

00:53:37.119 --> 00:53:40.860
he absolutely can just go, joink. But otherwise,

00:53:40.980 --> 00:53:43.699
he gets a little bit of it. Not all of it. Not

00:53:43.699 --> 00:53:46.739
all the soul, but a little bit of it. He grabs

00:53:46.739 --> 00:53:51.920
the soul and just kind of goes, oh, that's gross.

00:53:53.619 --> 00:53:58.480
I licked it. It's mine. The old soul twist. Yeah,

00:53:58.559 --> 00:54:05.349
so that happens. Incidentally, that is where

00:54:05.349 --> 00:54:10.130
Nagash comes in, where he's angry and he's Nagash,

00:54:10.150 --> 00:54:12.750
so he does not know how to look inwards and seek

00:54:12.750 --> 00:54:15.829
for flaws or ways to fix things. What he does

00:54:15.829 --> 00:54:19.329
know how to do is cast magical spells that ruin

00:54:19.329 --> 00:54:23.769
everything for everyone. So Nagash really would

00:54:23.769 --> 00:54:26.929
like those Stormcast Souls back. So in addition

00:54:26.929 --> 00:54:28.889
to that, and just wanting to be all -powerful,

00:54:29.010 --> 00:54:33.139
it is time for him to... try and drag all of

00:54:33.139 --> 00:54:42.300
reality into a black hole. Which... Eh? Eh? It's

00:54:42.300 --> 00:54:45.320
about right. It's his kind of ambition level,

00:54:45.340 --> 00:54:47.099
isn't it? I mean, look, again, you can't accuse

00:54:47.099 --> 00:54:50.079
Nagash of doing anything but going for the gold.

00:54:50.260 --> 00:54:57.239
By God, is he trying. This... It doesn't work,

00:54:57.380 --> 00:54:59.519
because the Skaven still exist, and the purpose

00:54:59.519 --> 00:55:01.840
of the Skaven is to make sure Nagash can never

00:55:01.840 --> 00:55:07.360
win. But it does do work. The pyramid was upside

00:55:07.360 --> 00:55:10.420
down this time. Yeah, it was upside down and

00:55:10.420 --> 00:55:12.980
floating. The Skaven still found a way. They

00:55:12.980 --> 00:55:15.079
still buried into it somehow. Also, there was

00:55:15.079 --> 00:55:17.159
like ten pyramids, but it doesn't matter now.

00:55:20.349 --> 00:55:23.030
And Sigmar, the Stormcast start getting visions

00:55:23.030 --> 00:55:25.050
of what Nagash is doing. But again, it's not

00:55:25.050 --> 00:55:27.530
them that stop it. It's the Skaven, because of

00:55:27.530 --> 00:55:30.889
course it is. But what this does is, you know,

00:55:30.909 --> 00:55:34.570
from, you know, modeling in real world, the Nighthaunt

00:55:34.570 --> 00:55:36.769
are established, the ghosts, and we get the Osiarch

00:55:36.769 --> 00:55:40.530
Bone Reapers, which are the Nagash's version

00:55:40.530 --> 00:55:44.469
of the Stormcast. But more pressing for the Stormcast,

00:55:44.570 --> 00:55:47.710
it reveals a whole lot of ancient weapons and

00:55:47.710 --> 00:55:50.760
magic and stuff. that Sigmar locked away from

00:55:50.760 --> 00:55:52.679
the realm of the Age of Myth that he deemed too

00:55:52.679 --> 00:55:57.179
dangerous. These things were held in storm vaults,

00:55:57.179 --> 00:56:01.119
they're called, because, as we'll discuss, the

00:56:01.119 --> 00:56:03.320
Stormcasts have the same naming theme as the

00:56:03.320 --> 00:56:08.599
Space Wolves. Storm, storm, storm. But in these

00:56:08.599 --> 00:56:10.980
storm vaults were just things that Sigmar was

00:56:10.980 --> 00:56:13.519
like, this is a little bit too dangerous for

00:56:13.519 --> 00:56:15.219
anyone. We're going to lock this away. It's kind

00:56:15.219 --> 00:56:17.949
of like a... A more widespread version of a...

00:56:17.949 --> 00:56:20.650
What is it? Like the Custodian's Guard on Terra?

00:56:22.389 --> 00:56:30.269
Something Vault. The Vault Wardens? Vault Keepers?

00:56:30.650 --> 00:56:34.289
Black Cells, I think. It's like a more widespread

00:56:34.289 --> 00:56:38.550
version of the Black Cells. We're going to put

00:56:38.550 --> 00:56:40.449
all these different things in boxes and have

00:56:40.449 --> 00:56:43.139
them locked away. like ash's little goof on uh

00:56:43.139 --> 00:56:45.780
unlocked all of those and sigmar was like well

00:56:45.780 --> 00:56:53.840
i gotta deal with that so uh it's time to it's

00:56:53.840 --> 00:56:57.000
time to open a new chamber so this is a this

00:56:57.000 --> 00:56:58.780
is incidentally every time there's a new model

00:56:58.780 --> 00:57:02.119
release for the stormcast is sigmar going throw

00:57:02.119 --> 00:57:04.239
more of the things we had in reserve at them

00:57:04.239 --> 00:57:07.940
just throw them out there It's essentially Sigmar

00:57:07.940 --> 00:57:09.739
opening a loot box and he's like, what did I

00:57:09.739 --> 00:57:12.659
get this time? Ah, goddammit, just skins. And

00:57:12.659 --> 00:57:17.019
then occasionally he's like, whoa. It is, I summon

00:57:17.019 --> 00:57:21.900
Pot of Greed. Pot of Greed. Two additional Stormcasts

00:57:21.900 --> 00:57:26.960
for my deck. This is known as, this is also how

00:57:26.960 --> 00:57:29.920
they explain in -universe whenever the Stormcasts

00:57:29.920 --> 00:57:36.360
get a model revamp to explain. no we're not just

00:57:36.360 --> 00:57:38.199
changing how the models look so you need to buy

00:57:38.199 --> 00:57:40.519
more of them it's happening in universe sigmar's

00:57:40.519 --> 00:57:44.920
updating his armory which uh this in this case

00:57:44.920 --> 00:57:50.500
just imagining sigmar being like forced to walk

00:57:50.500 --> 00:57:52.840
to the vaults at gunpoint by a games workshop

00:57:52.840 --> 00:57:55.360
executive just like open the vault he's like

00:57:55.360 --> 00:57:57.739
i don't want to open the vault can i open them

00:57:57.739 --> 00:58:01.800
all at once no our profit margins no no we need

00:58:01.800 --> 00:58:04.199
them in reserve slash gw needs to make more money

00:58:05.619 --> 00:58:09.000
This is the sacrosanct chamber, it's called.

00:58:09.139 --> 00:58:11.460
These are, you know, the warrior mages of the

00:58:11.460 --> 00:58:14.360
Stormcast. They were guarding the Anvil Apotheosis.

00:58:14.559 --> 00:58:16.260
That's, you know, it's kind of how you make more

00:58:16.260 --> 00:58:19.719
Stormcast. So that's a good thing to guard. But

00:58:19.719 --> 00:58:23.500
Sigmar's like, well, thank you, Nagash. Now I

00:58:23.500 --> 00:58:26.619
can't have them guarding my house anymore. So

00:58:26.619 --> 00:58:30.179
he throws these guys out, which does kind of

00:58:30.179 --> 00:58:32.699
solidify some of the uneasy wins as a, you know.

00:58:33.169 --> 00:58:35.449
It's Nagash, so he is never allowed to win. So

00:58:35.449 --> 00:58:37.130
the Stormcast, they start pushing them back.

00:58:37.230 --> 00:58:39.570
The Nighthaunt get pushed back. A lot of deaths.

00:58:39.730 --> 00:58:42.469
Those reforging flaws are becoming a little bit

00:58:42.469 --> 00:58:44.809
more prominent now. A little bit more problematic.

00:58:46.170 --> 00:58:48.989
But things are able to be steadied a bit. And

00:58:48.989 --> 00:58:50.829
because they were the ones guarding the Anvil

00:58:50.829 --> 00:58:53.889
of Patheosis, they do have a few tricks to kind

00:58:53.889 --> 00:58:57.130
of mitigate the deaths in battle and help get

00:58:57.130 --> 00:58:59.860
the souls a little bit more easy. You know, they

00:58:59.860 --> 00:59:01.480
were the ones who were in charge of guarding

00:59:01.480 --> 00:59:03.619
it, so they picked up a few things, basically.

00:59:06.079 --> 00:59:09.559
The Teclis and Elorial curb -stomp Nagash and,

00:59:09.579 --> 00:59:11.960
you know, blow up his body, send him back home

00:59:11.960 --> 00:59:15.840
to Shaiish. Things are a little bit, you know,

00:59:15.860 --> 00:59:19.880
calmed down. Then Broken Realms happens, where

00:59:19.880 --> 00:59:29.760
a lot of things go wrong. So, Marathi. This lady

00:59:29.760 --> 00:59:32.219
is the worst. I just feel that needs to be said

00:59:32.219 --> 00:59:34.539
every time she's discussed. She's just awful.

00:59:35.980 --> 00:59:38.900
But still would. Even Slaanesh would vomit her

00:59:38.900 --> 00:59:43.500
up. This woman is awful, said Colin. I could

00:59:43.500 --> 00:59:46.920
fix her. A red flag is only a problem if your

00:59:46.920 --> 00:59:53.500
favorite color isn't red. She's a god now, and

00:59:53.500 --> 00:59:57.550
she decides to celebrate the occasion by... There

00:59:57.550 --> 00:59:59.829
is a laying siege to one of the cities of Sigmar

00:59:59.829 --> 01:00:02.789
cities known as Anvil Guard. So there was some

01:00:02.789 --> 01:00:04.750
Stormcast station there because once I kind of

01:00:04.750 --> 01:00:06.349
go through like the basics of what their lore

01:00:06.349 --> 01:00:08.630
has been up to, I'll kind of go over what they're

01:00:08.630 --> 01:00:12.170
kind of about. The Stormcast station there were

01:00:12.170 --> 01:00:15.190
defending it. They were like, oh, hey, that's

01:00:15.190 --> 01:00:17.570
a full -blown god now we have to deal with. So

01:00:17.570 --> 01:00:20.269
they were giving it their all, trying to fight

01:00:20.269 --> 01:00:23.269
the Daughters of Cain. Eventually, the Celestin

01:00:23.269 --> 01:00:28.289
Prime shows up himself. Carl Franz is here. But

01:00:28.289 --> 01:00:32.670
he's he goes to negotiate with Marathi instead

01:00:32.670 --> 01:00:36.789
of just beating her over the head. Which during

01:00:36.789 --> 01:00:39.389
this, it's still Marathi. No one is happy about

01:00:39.389 --> 01:00:42.050
this because, you know, the defenders are like,

01:00:42.070 --> 01:00:44.630
well, I don't want to have to follow Marathi.

01:00:44.730 --> 01:00:46.889
I don't want to have to do that. She's awful.

01:00:47.949 --> 01:00:50.590
And Marathi was like, oh, so I'm not good enough

01:00:50.590 --> 01:00:53.849
for Sigmar to come personally, huh? So no one

01:00:53.849 --> 01:00:56.070
is happy all around, but, you know, the Stormcast

01:00:56.070 --> 01:01:00.210
Eternals and the Celestin Prime will follow what

01:01:00.210 --> 01:01:05.150
their god wants. And eventually, everyone is,

01:01:05.250 --> 01:01:08.670
all of the Stormcast leave Anvil Guard. Anyone

01:01:08.670 --> 01:01:12.070
else there is allowed to leave as well. And everyone

01:01:12.070 --> 01:01:15.570
who stays is now Marathi's little puppet. So

01:01:15.570 --> 01:01:18.170
there's another bit of a setback for the Stormcast.

01:01:18.230 --> 01:01:21.289
Not as bad as, you know. Things to come because

01:01:21.289 --> 01:01:25.829
there was negotiating going on. Still not a resounding

01:01:25.829 --> 01:01:37.889
victory. Guess worse. Bellacor does a real funny.

01:01:39.170 --> 01:01:46.550
He gets out there and it's time to make waves.

01:01:47.150 --> 01:01:50.460
Bellacor in fantasy is where he's a character

01:01:50.460 --> 01:01:52.900
and not just something they mention so you buy

01:01:52.900 --> 01:01:57.599
his model uh bellicore and the slawn start going

01:01:57.599 --> 01:02:01.960
head to head and the slawn beat one of his schemes

01:02:01.960 --> 01:02:04.639
but it was one of those we beat you but not actually

01:02:04.639 --> 01:02:09.820
doesn't matter uh because in that the slawn destroy

01:02:09.820 --> 01:02:12.280
a realm gate which has a cascading effect on

01:02:12.280 --> 01:02:14.059
destroying more realm gates and letting chaos

01:02:14.059 --> 01:02:19.079
pour through so now when the stormcast die They

01:02:19.079 --> 01:02:21.739
don't resurrect because how it normally works

01:02:21.739 --> 01:02:24.320
is in a bolt of lightning, they flash off and

01:02:24.320 --> 01:02:28.400
Sigmar gets back to hammering. Now they just

01:02:28.400 --> 01:02:32.679
get sucked into the realm of chaos. So, uh, that's

01:02:32.679 --> 01:02:39.039
a problem. And, uh, yeah. Uh, and I believe the

01:02:39.039 --> 01:02:41.460
Celestin prime himself even gets, uh, finally

01:02:41.460 --> 01:02:44.400
gets slain at this point by a lady Islander,

01:02:44.480 --> 01:02:47.539
uh, one of the gashes more tarts. So the losing

01:02:47.539 --> 01:02:52.739
streak has begun. Properly. To make up for the

01:02:52.739 --> 01:02:54.659
fact that people didn't like the Stormcast at

01:02:54.659 --> 01:02:56.539
first. They've started kicking them in the ribs.

01:02:57.420 --> 01:03:00.699
Jesus Christ. It is the Carriage and Overlords

01:03:00.699 --> 01:03:03.079
and Grugni himself that kind of arrive, push

01:03:03.079 --> 01:03:06.079
back Melichor's forces and start working out

01:03:06.079 --> 01:03:11.559
ways to undo this problematic feature. Because

01:03:11.559 --> 01:03:14.340
an entire Stormhost was given to Lady Olynder.

01:03:15.000 --> 01:03:18.280
Another one was just wiped out completely. And

01:03:18.280 --> 01:03:21.340
the last kind of book was there was some Stormcast

01:03:21.340 --> 01:03:26.079
in the free city of Excelsis. Saying that name

01:03:26.079 --> 01:03:29.199
makes me struggle. I don't know why. The Stormcast

01:03:29.199 --> 01:03:32.119
part of this was basically the Celestin Prime

01:03:32.119 --> 01:03:36.059
put Marathi on trial for being awful and herself.

01:03:38.300 --> 01:03:41.340
It didn't really work because out of all people,

01:03:41.539 --> 01:03:45.599
Grungni told the Celestin Prime to just... Now's

01:03:45.599 --> 01:03:47.739
not the time. We got bigger problems. Now's not

01:03:47.739 --> 01:03:52.539
the time for a trial. So the Stormcast were losing

01:03:52.539 --> 01:03:55.880
their fights. Their respawn ability has been

01:03:55.880 --> 01:03:59.460
hindered, and now a dwarf god is telling them

01:03:59.460 --> 01:04:04.940
to let go of a grudge. Boy, is it a bad time

01:04:04.940 --> 01:04:08.699
to be collecting the poster boys. That's crazy.

01:04:09.119 --> 01:04:11.199
Before we get any further, should we go through

01:04:11.199 --> 01:04:14.679
the... donors that we have, so we don't go too

01:04:14.679 --> 01:04:21.059
fast. Cassidy Cheese, $1 .99. They need Stormcast

01:04:21.059 --> 01:04:24.519
Zangors. That's right, they do. You tell them.

01:04:26.000 --> 01:04:29.500
Unhinged behavior. I still think we need the

01:04:29.500 --> 01:04:34.139
Ogres to be the Stormgut Eternals. I think that'd

01:04:34.139 --> 01:04:39.380
be better. Donkeyman USA. Polnareff got done

01:04:39.380 --> 01:04:41.820
dirty. Yes, he did. We don't mention that episode.

01:04:42.699 --> 01:04:45.260
Look, Polnareff got done dirty, but Polnareff

01:04:45.260 --> 01:04:48.760
was also the main character of part three. Panda

01:04:48.760 --> 01:04:56.440
Wizard. Thank you for the 79 ,000 IDR. I wonder

01:04:56.440 --> 01:05:00.800
what currency that is. God Eater's Son is one

01:05:00.800 --> 01:05:03.440
of the best Warhammer books in general I've ever

01:05:03.440 --> 01:05:06.440
read. I highly recommend it. Might be the best

01:05:06.440 --> 01:05:10.320
Chaos POV book. Well, thank you. It is Indonesian

01:05:10.320 --> 01:05:16.500
Rupiah. Cool, man. From Indonesia. That's crazy.

01:05:18.639 --> 01:05:22.039
Nylock, there's been a second me for the profile

01:05:22.039 --> 01:05:26.119
picture. On the five Canadian dollars. Excuse

01:05:26.119 --> 01:05:28.760
me, do y 'all not love our small hooven benefactors?

01:05:28.820 --> 01:05:33.019
They are so dope. I adore Ungulate so much. These

01:05:33.019 --> 01:05:36.219
beasts do no wrong. Expect the fuckskin taper.

01:05:37.000 --> 01:05:41.559
Wow. Yeah, man. I don't know the lore very well.

01:05:43.139 --> 01:05:47.260
Bean. Two bucks. Gamers never die. They respawn.

01:05:47.559 --> 01:05:50.900
Sigmar, probably. And my hope will never die.

01:05:54.000 --> 01:05:56.960
We're all Sigmarines now. This is an original

01:05:56.960 --> 01:05:59.559
idea. I'm thinking about making a Call of Duty

01:05:59.559 --> 01:06:03.820
montage with like... dubstep music. You need

01:06:03.820 --> 01:06:07.719
to have only the Snoop Dogg announcement lines

01:06:07.719 --> 01:06:11.800
in it as well. Guys, you know what's really cooking

01:06:11.800 --> 01:06:13.840
right now? We should do some Overwatch funny

01:06:13.840 --> 01:06:18.639
moments. Oh, man. You can't play Overwatch. Overwatch

01:06:18.639 --> 01:06:20.539
2 is the only game you can play now. Instead,

01:06:20.900 --> 01:06:27.300
I sockstart a shotgun. What the heck? Overwatch

01:06:27.300 --> 01:06:31.739
funny moments. That's a crazy thing to say. Welcome

01:06:31.739 --> 01:06:39.940
back 2017, dude. I was in the trenches of Overwatch

01:06:39.940 --> 01:06:44.079
Season 1. Yeah, me too. Yeah, Reinhardt made

01:06:44.079 --> 01:06:47.380
it. Thank you, Cassie Cheese, for the $1 .99.

01:06:48.320 --> 01:06:50.340
I'm going to drink your souls like a sippy cup

01:06:50.340 --> 01:06:54.880
in a gash. Yeah, baby. Teclis' Bad Brass Bowl

01:06:54.880 --> 01:06:59.059
1 -to -1 Scale Parox Trademark Dildo. Thank you.

01:07:00.900 --> 01:07:03.980
I'm stuck with this name for a few more days.

01:07:04.719 --> 01:07:09.860
Oh my god. Until I can make it Eli's Most Excessively

01:07:09.860 --> 01:07:13.579
Hung Ponian Stable Bowl. Crazy, man. Because

01:07:13.579 --> 01:07:19.199
I feel Big Colin has a monopoly. Big Colin. Excessively

01:07:19.199 --> 01:07:23.000
hung is a term I heard very often. big that's

01:07:23.000 --> 01:07:25.960
good do you reckon that peasant would have to

01:07:25.960 --> 01:07:34.280
carry one of the relics oh the peanut carrier

01:07:34.280 --> 01:07:40.800
oh my gosh third leg flopping in the wind mr

01:07:40.800 --> 01:07:47.639
tripod oh man that's an image Where were we,

01:07:47.639 --> 01:07:52.619
Colin? I'm too busy thinking about it. I'm sorry.

01:07:56.219 --> 01:08:01.840
I think we did better cause. Yeah, that's happened.

01:08:02.260 --> 01:08:05.239
So now it comes on to the Age of Beasts, which

01:08:05.239 --> 01:08:08.460
is when, you know, that new Kragnos mini right

01:08:08.460 --> 01:08:10.679
before when he came out and Beastmen players

01:08:10.679 --> 01:08:12.559
thought they were about to be eating before GW

01:08:12.559 --> 01:08:17.600
removed them from Age of Sigmar. Even after all

01:08:17.600 --> 01:08:20.119
these losses, no one is worse off than Beastman

01:08:20.119 --> 01:08:26.159
players. Nope. They've kind of had to pull back

01:08:26.159 --> 01:08:29.340
a little bit. Things are not being great because,

01:08:29.420 --> 01:08:33.800
for one, Stormcast can be reforged. It takes

01:08:33.800 --> 01:08:35.880
a lot of effort to do that. That's not like a

01:08:35.880 --> 01:08:39.460
little, like, let's just throw another 50 out

01:08:39.460 --> 01:08:42.960
there. It takes some time and work. So Sigmar's

01:08:42.960 --> 01:08:44.899
kind of realizing that if I don't figure out

01:08:44.899 --> 01:08:48.239
how to fix this, I'm going to lose them all to

01:08:48.239 --> 01:08:53.100
just losses over time. So Grugni at this point,

01:08:53.180 --> 01:08:55.479
because when Grugni came back, I briefly mentioned

01:08:55.479 --> 01:08:58.020
him earlier, he had just kind of pissed off from

01:08:58.020 --> 01:09:00.500
even the reforging chambers. Like, he just left.

01:09:01.319 --> 01:09:03.199
Now that he's back, though, Sigmar's like, hey,

01:09:03.239 --> 01:09:06.659
can you help me out a bit, man? I'm having some

01:09:06.659 --> 01:09:11.050
trouble. So... It's time for a new chamber, which

01:09:11.050 --> 01:09:13.810
means new models. And him and Grugni, they get

01:09:13.810 --> 01:09:18.470
back to the forges for a bit. And they start

01:09:18.470 --> 01:09:22.350
working on a new way. What the hell? Excuse me?

01:09:22.470 --> 01:09:26.130
I don't know what that word was. It wasn't English.

01:09:27.010 --> 01:09:30.109
A new way, a new kind of armor to help try and,

01:09:30.109 --> 01:09:32.210
you know, punch through the chaos clouds that

01:09:32.210 --> 01:09:35.390
are darkening the skies. And this becomes the

01:09:35.390 --> 01:09:37.409
Thunderstrike chamber, which is basically what

01:09:37.409 --> 01:09:45.319
happens. Well, you see, when they die, they blow

01:09:45.319 --> 01:09:50.000
up really hard. And it clears the chaos clouds

01:09:50.000 --> 01:09:53.039
enough for the Stormcast to go back to a zero.

01:09:53.520 --> 01:09:57.260
That's crazy. What the heck? What are you talking

01:09:57.260 --> 01:10:02.460
about? A second Stormcast has been slain. You're

01:10:02.460 --> 01:10:04.760
losing me. You're losing me. What do you mean?

01:10:04.880 --> 01:10:09.489
I don't care. You're telling me. but it's fun

01:10:09.489 --> 01:10:13.029
you tell me these these stormcast they fought

01:10:13.029 --> 01:10:24.050
on their roommates i think that is what was that

01:10:24.050 --> 01:10:32.010
video again just for fun it's just a bit like

01:10:32.010 --> 01:10:35.960
did you see that little light move It's been

01:10:35.960 --> 01:10:40.520
two years now! It's still funny. It's still funny.

01:10:41.779 --> 01:10:45.840
I'm not grown up. I watch it every day when he

01:10:45.840 --> 01:10:49.039
wakes up. Seriously, man. I'm just imagining

01:10:49.039 --> 01:10:52.319
these bloody stormcasts, like, they just, like,

01:10:53.000 --> 01:10:55.680
you know, the, um, people had, like, the Vine

01:10:55.680 --> 01:10:59.520
sound effect or something. The Vine boom, and

01:10:59.520 --> 01:11:02.239
every time they go, the chaos corruption. What,

01:11:02.239 --> 01:11:08.000
the rock? Oh my gosh. I like to think it's just

01:11:08.000 --> 01:11:15.159
like a pure bass boost sound effect. Fuck you.

01:11:15.220 --> 01:11:17.619
I think that's funny. I like that. No, it's fun.

01:11:17.739 --> 01:11:20.460
I'm sorry. I'm sorry someone let fun into my

01:11:20.460 --> 01:11:26.100
Warhammer. So the Stormcasts are puffing it in

01:11:26.100 --> 01:11:30.680
a really aggressive Thunder style. Everyone's

01:11:30.680 --> 01:11:33.399
like, oh, it's fucking... stupid iron warrior

01:11:33.399 --> 01:11:35.899
loyalist when he blows up the pharaoh so that's

01:11:35.899 --> 01:11:38.600
really cool but someone does it on purpose and

01:11:38.600 --> 01:11:44.520
oh it's a problem i'm bitter and angry uh -huh

01:11:44.520 --> 01:11:52.180
he baby mad i am baby mad uh once uh once the

01:11:52.180 --> 01:11:54.140
you know they've kind of they're they never they

01:11:54.140 --> 01:11:55.600
didn't really fix the problem they just kind

01:11:55.600 --> 01:11:57.520
of slapped a band -aid on it but you know that's

01:11:57.520 --> 01:12:00.500
a problem for it's a problem for later uh they

01:12:00.500 --> 01:12:03.140
also and this you know if if you don't accept

01:12:03.140 --> 01:12:05.020
this next bit is cool i think i just hate all

01:12:05.020 --> 01:12:08.619
of you uh they now uh the next range of minis

01:12:08.619 --> 01:12:11.319
was uh they now have little like demi dragon

01:12:11.319 --> 01:12:14.640
mounts the the dracolith or what are they called

01:12:14.640 --> 01:12:18.319
draconis pardon me uh those are those like dragon

01:12:18.319 --> 01:12:20.819
mounts they were eggs from the big dragon that

01:12:20.819 --> 01:12:24.939
had uh hatched the mortal realms basically uh

01:12:27.060 --> 01:12:29.439
The Stormhook has... They now ride dragons into

01:12:29.439 --> 01:12:32.819
battle, which, you know, that's cool. Yeah, that's

01:12:32.819 --> 01:12:36.579
cool. And with that, they've kind of... It was

01:12:36.579 --> 01:12:40.260
a little bit more of a... They started playing

01:12:40.260 --> 01:12:42.680
it more safe, right? There's no... They pulled

01:12:42.680 --> 01:12:46.140
back on the assaulting Arkhan's house strategy.

01:12:46.760 --> 01:12:49.439
And with the Dawnbringer Crusades, where it was

01:12:49.439 --> 01:12:52.800
a lot more lower -key kind of stuff, a bit more

01:12:52.800 --> 01:12:55.279
supportive and defending. And no longer is a...

01:12:55.689 --> 01:12:58.430
Instead of them marching forth and then the cities

01:12:58.430 --> 01:13:01.210
of Sigmar mortals walk behind them to support,

01:13:01.430 --> 01:13:04.010
they're kind of working in tandem now. The Stormcast

01:13:04.010 --> 01:13:06.010
are helping defend cities as they get set up.

01:13:06.130 --> 01:13:08.789
They move forward once they're fully confident.

01:13:08.829 --> 01:13:10.789
They've got a nice garrison and they can come

01:13:10.789 --> 01:13:13.350
back to help at a moment's notice if needed.

01:13:14.449 --> 01:13:16.890
It's a slow and steady wins the race was kind

01:13:16.890 --> 01:13:19.329
of the theme of the Dawngringer Crusades. It's

01:13:19.329 --> 01:13:23.829
a much slower assault. It's a little bit more

01:13:23.829 --> 01:13:28.810
calm. uh there's other things uh some other things

01:13:28.810 --> 01:13:32.770
going on uh for example stormcast they've been

01:13:32.770 --> 01:13:34.850
reforged a lot of times now we're three editions

01:13:34.850 --> 01:13:37.649
of the game in that's that's a lot of that's

01:13:37.649 --> 01:13:40.609
like eight years of warhammer of stormcast dying

01:13:40.609 --> 01:13:43.970
in lore pretty constantly so one thing they can

01:13:43.970 --> 01:13:46.729
do is uh the souls of willing stormcast who they've

01:13:46.729 --> 01:13:49.869
just they're done they still want to help out

01:13:49.869 --> 01:13:51.909
but they've been reforged like four times at

01:13:51.909 --> 01:13:54.670
this point they're out they want to quit They

01:13:54.670 --> 01:13:59.470
can sacrifice their souls to form a magical bridge

01:13:59.470 --> 01:14:03.289
to help anchor stormcast souls. So that way,

01:14:03.329 --> 01:14:05.810
even if they don't have the lightning magical

01:14:05.810 --> 01:14:08.989
armor that blows up and clears away chaos, they

01:14:08.989 --> 01:14:11.229
can still kind of go to one of these bridges

01:14:11.229 --> 01:14:17.550
if they die relatively close. So it's a much

01:14:17.550 --> 01:14:21.390
more, like I said, slow and steady. Storm Keeps,

01:14:21.390 --> 01:14:23.090
because of course that's what their fortresses

01:14:23.090 --> 01:14:25.479
are called. They're building more of those. They're

01:14:25.479 --> 01:14:27.899
trying to work more on the fighting side, you

01:14:27.899 --> 01:14:29.960
know, the mortals and various other armies of

01:14:29.960 --> 01:14:33.539
the mortal realms. They're much less now Sigmar

01:14:33.539 --> 01:14:35.500
sucker -punching you in the face with a super

01:14:35.500 --> 01:14:39.380
soldier and more of a, let's march out. Let's

01:14:39.380 --> 01:14:42.119
work in tandem with everyone else. The age of

01:14:42.119 --> 01:14:44.539
us, you know, breaching out of the realm gates

01:14:44.539 --> 01:14:48.039
is over. Let's take it easy now. Let's go slow

01:14:48.039 --> 01:14:51.659
and steady. And, you know, it was doing good

01:14:51.659 --> 01:14:54.369
work. Obviously, nothing is perfect in Warhammer.

01:14:54.590 --> 01:14:56.989
The Cruel Boys, this is about the time that army

01:14:56.989 --> 01:14:59.890
came out. Depending on where they're at, they

01:14:59.890 --> 01:15:02.210
might march into a swampy area of a mortal realm

01:15:02.210 --> 01:15:07.229
and get jumped by 50 Uruk -hai. That's a weird

01:15:07.229 --> 01:15:12.130
direction. They look cool. I don't know. It's

01:15:12.130 --> 01:15:14.909
weird for Warhammer standards, but they do look

01:15:14.909 --> 01:15:17.750
more like Tolkien orcs. I find I can't have it

01:15:17.750 --> 01:15:21.100
in me to dislike that. Even just a small... army

01:15:21.100 --> 01:15:23.239
you can take. I just think that's neat, right?

01:15:24.659 --> 01:15:30.039
So, looking up a little bit, and then GW realized

01:15:30.039 --> 01:15:34.000
it'd been two editions since the Skaven did something

01:15:34.000 --> 01:15:37.520
funny. So if you remember that trailer where

01:15:37.520 --> 01:15:40.260
Skaven Blight itself erupted out of the ground

01:15:40.260 --> 01:15:45.979
across every reality, they did that. So you're

01:15:45.979 --> 01:15:48.220
a Stormcast, right? You're chilling out. You're

01:15:48.220 --> 01:15:50.399
guarding this, you know, the Dongbringer Crusades.

01:15:50.399 --> 01:15:52.300
They've done well. You're hanging out defending

01:15:52.300 --> 01:15:55.819
the realm. What if six trillion rats upon your

01:15:55.819 --> 01:15:59.180
house? The glorious Vermintide returns. They're

01:15:59.180 --> 01:16:05.199
back. So they, I mean, that's just what that

01:16:05.199 --> 01:16:06.960
is. This is the problem they have to now deal

01:16:06.960 --> 01:16:10.020
with. And this is kind of the current where it's

01:16:10.020 --> 01:16:12.520
at. So there's not as much on it because, you

01:16:12.520 --> 01:16:14.279
know, this is like the latest thing with a...

01:16:14.560 --> 01:16:18.680
AOS. Sigmar, once again, open another chamber.

01:16:18.880 --> 01:16:22.119
I need more. I need more Marines. Pot of Greed.

01:16:22.979 --> 01:16:26.279
This one is called the Ruination Chamber, which

01:16:26.279 --> 01:16:30.960
is for the Stormcast who you've died just too

01:16:30.960 --> 01:16:35.140
many times. There is almost nothing left of your

01:16:35.140 --> 01:16:37.880
soul, which up to now had just been kind of like

01:16:37.880 --> 01:16:41.020
a... You just kind of turn into a lightning geist.

01:16:41.039 --> 01:16:43.220
That's just kind of a problem. Sorry for you,

01:16:43.380 --> 01:16:46.300
man. You can join the Starbridge if you want.

01:16:47.380 --> 01:16:49.920
Otherwise, you're just like a lightning spirit

01:16:49.920 --> 01:16:53.180
in armor at this point. The Ruination Chamber

01:16:53.180 --> 01:16:59.680
is those... It's kind of like the death companies

01:16:59.680 --> 01:17:03.380
of the Stormcast. A little bit less murderous.

01:17:03.859 --> 01:17:08.520
They don't see Archeon and go insane. But it's

01:17:08.520 --> 01:17:11.239
those warriors whose souls are basically whittled

01:17:11.239 --> 01:17:14.920
away to their own special chamber. Because they're

01:17:14.920 --> 01:17:16.880
pure lightning, they're kind of a little bit

01:17:16.880 --> 01:17:19.399
tougher, immune to all of the random crap the

01:17:19.399 --> 01:17:22.560
Skaven bring out when they fight. Because fighting

01:17:22.560 --> 01:17:25.460
a Skaven in Skaven -infested territory is...

01:17:25.460 --> 01:17:29.039
Imagine fighting a Fallout super mutant in the

01:17:29.039 --> 01:17:30.680
middle of Chernobyl, and that's kind of about

01:17:30.680 --> 01:17:32.640
what they do to the surrounding landscape when

01:17:32.640 --> 01:17:37.500
they show up. Are these the silver ones? Yeah,

01:17:37.840 --> 01:17:42.340
the silver ones were kind of the... I remember

01:17:42.340 --> 01:17:45.119
they released a whole new model range and they're

01:17:45.119 --> 01:17:47.020
like, but these ones aren't gold, they're silver.

01:17:47.460 --> 01:17:54.739
I wonder why. It's gold. So this also came with,

01:17:54.840 --> 01:17:59.149
once again... I'm torn between giving them credit

01:17:59.149 --> 01:18:01.369
and viewing it as the most cynical thing ever.

01:18:01.510 --> 01:18:03.350
I just take it whichever way you want, depending

01:18:03.350 --> 01:18:06.729
on how nice you are to AOS. The first squatting,

01:18:06.729 --> 01:18:08.649
you know, the Stormcast getting a bunch of their

01:18:08.649 --> 01:18:13.590
models taken away and stolen was in lore. Sigmar

01:18:13.590 --> 01:18:16.810
pulling back that Sancrasink chamber because

01:18:16.810 --> 01:18:20.670
their absence, the reforging issues kind of got

01:18:20.670 --> 01:18:22.670
worse because they were helping out as well.

01:18:23.289 --> 01:18:27.149
And with them gone on the battlefield. The problems

01:18:27.149 --> 01:18:30.890
were a lot worse. So he pulled back most of that

01:18:30.890 --> 01:18:34.930
chamber, which in real life terms, most of those

01:18:34.930 --> 01:18:37.550
models got taken away from you being able to

01:18:37.550 --> 01:18:42.949
buy and play outside of Legends. But where we're

01:18:42.949 --> 01:18:46.710
at. Many such cases. Sigmar is now hurting lightning

01:18:46.710 --> 01:18:52.630
monsters at his enemies because Stormcast are

01:18:52.630 --> 01:18:57.100
in a bit of a rough spot. I'd say with that though,

01:18:57.159 --> 01:19:00.479
there is some cool sort of small bits to add

01:19:00.479 --> 01:19:05.359
on, which is Stormcast are not like, so probably

01:19:05.359 --> 01:19:06.840
many of us are familiar obviously with Space

01:19:06.840 --> 01:19:09.899
Marines, but in the way like a Space Marine is

01:19:09.899 --> 01:19:13.199
like a super soldier that's kind of, I guess,

01:19:13.239 --> 01:19:16.100
indoctrinated into the Imperial ways and it's,

01:19:16.100 --> 01:19:20.020
you know, they cannot fathom other things. The

01:19:20.020 --> 01:19:22.899
Stormcast, I guess in some sense, I don't know

01:19:22.899 --> 01:19:24.819
if there's ever been a... Stormcast has fallen

01:19:24.819 --> 01:19:30.560
to chaos, Colin. Not yet. Yet. There is some

01:19:30.560 --> 01:19:38.000
stuff where a fella who was a redeemed Stormcast

01:19:38.000 --> 01:19:43.739
is making his own Stormhost out of a similarly

01:19:43.739 --> 01:19:47.619
redeemed Stormcast. The other Stormcast are a

01:19:47.619 --> 01:19:50.180
little bit suspicious of that guy. and his you

01:19:50.180 --> 01:19:52.819
know his his storm host because you know you

01:19:52.819 --> 01:19:55.640
couldn't have filled chaos you had a lot of nergalick

01:19:55.640 --> 01:19:58.260
in you what are you doing over there but to my

01:19:58.260 --> 01:20:02.010
knowledge as of yet no Stormcast has fallen to

01:20:02.010 --> 01:20:04.989
Chaos. Oh, I got better. I had Nurgle, but I

01:20:04.989 --> 01:20:07.970
got better. Which, you know, Sigmar's power flows

01:20:07.970 --> 01:20:09.850
through their veins. I imagine that's quite the

01:20:09.850 --> 01:20:14.069
vaccine against Chaos. I would say the way that

01:20:14.069 --> 01:20:16.609
Space Marines and Stormcast are kind of polar

01:20:16.609 --> 01:20:19.569
opposites, because Stormcast are handpicked from

01:20:19.569 --> 01:20:21.689
the greatest heroes who fought in the Mortal

01:20:21.689 --> 01:20:24.890
Realms. Even though Space Marines are like one

01:20:24.890 --> 01:20:27.609
in a thousand success rate, never forget they

01:20:27.609 --> 01:20:30.130
are mass produced. These guys have it's like

01:20:30.130 --> 01:20:33.010
oh just because a thousand people died to create

01:20:33.010 --> 01:20:34.949
one space marine that's only because we don't

01:20:34.949 --> 01:20:37.630
care about killing civilians or or having massive

01:20:37.630 --> 01:20:40.149
loss of life it doesn't matter it's just put

01:20:40.149 --> 01:20:43.890
them in the meat grinder uh for all the for all

01:20:43.890 --> 01:20:48.050
the uh talk of these these center shells of human

01:20:48.050 --> 01:20:50.569
prowess it's like yeah they're also just put

01:20:50.569 --> 01:20:52.229
into the meat grinder like everyone else like

01:20:52.229 --> 01:20:55.430
they just dress it up really nicely storm cars

01:20:55.430 --> 01:20:57.130
as far as i'm aware of their law is just like

01:20:57.130 --> 01:21:00.270
no this is like a particular like chad fella

01:21:00.270 --> 01:21:02.550
we're like we're not we're not letting him die

01:21:02.550 --> 01:21:04.890
oh he'd be well good in gold let's put him in

01:21:04.890 --> 01:21:07.590
some cool armor i like that uh time pirate says

01:21:07.590 --> 01:21:10.829
they are like legit uh dnd paladin which is quite

01:21:10.829 --> 01:21:15.170
apt and the way it explains it is like sigma

01:21:15.170 --> 01:21:18.149
will usually like i guess there's no corrupt

01:21:18.149 --> 01:21:20.960
ones yet because obviously sigma can analyze

01:21:20.960 --> 01:21:22.840
like who they are and then who they are in their

01:21:22.840 --> 01:21:24.819
soul so he kind of picks people who he knows

01:21:24.819 --> 01:21:27.939
are not gonna yeah get corrupted uh fun thing

01:21:27.939 --> 01:21:30.539
though sometimes just straight up doesn't work

01:21:30.539 --> 01:21:33.840
they can pick someone from death but like they

01:21:33.840 --> 01:21:37.840
just can't be made into a um stormcast so just

01:21:37.840 --> 01:21:41.319
not everyone will make it through uh they are

01:21:41.319 --> 01:21:43.920
does they are i think it was some of them could

01:21:43.920 --> 01:21:48.920
be up to nine feet tall which is like an average

01:21:48.920 --> 01:21:51.750
height an average height of like seven foot six

01:21:51.750 --> 01:21:54.010
some of them bigger ones are like eight foot

01:21:54.010 --> 01:21:56.829
something but it could be i think obviously the

01:21:56.829 --> 01:21:58.890
thousand prime is probably nine foot tall so

01:21:58.890 --> 01:22:02.329
they are ginormous oh dude he's a he's a big

01:22:02.329 --> 01:22:06.810
lad yeah and the way they explain like the stormcast

01:22:06.810 --> 01:22:10.149
are not like they are super humans but they're

01:22:10.149 --> 01:22:14.029
kind of i guess it's like it's like a copy of

01:22:14.029 --> 01:22:16.569
their original person like who they are it's

01:22:16.569 --> 01:22:19.689
and they can still like they're not immune like

01:22:19.689 --> 01:22:23.229
how a space means immune to fear through psychoconditioning

01:22:23.229 --> 01:22:27.789
a stormcast is not immune to fear it's very difficult

01:22:27.789 --> 01:22:31.789
to make a stormcast be afraid but it's not impossible

01:22:31.789 --> 01:22:34.210
which is interesting so they're a bit more human

01:22:34.210 --> 01:22:37.630
than you think a space marine is in some sense

01:22:37.630 --> 01:22:41.909
yeah it's um i think it was josh reynolds before

01:22:41.909 --> 01:22:46.390
he uh Was told by GW to go away or whatever happened

01:22:46.390 --> 01:22:50.670
there. I think he said like, he said like, I

01:22:50.670 --> 01:22:54.750
think out of universe, he said like the difference

01:22:54.750 --> 01:22:57.970
between like a space Marine and a storm cast

01:22:57.970 --> 01:23:00.109
is like, it's different between, you know, Batman

01:23:00.109 --> 01:23:02.590
and Superman or like Batman and captain America.

01:23:05.069 --> 01:23:07.109
Like, you know, yeah, they both, they both fight

01:23:07.109 --> 01:23:09.350
the big bad guys. They both fight chaos, but

01:23:09.350 --> 01:23:12.529
you wouldn't call Batman and captain America.

01:23:14.360 --> 01:23:17.180
But also, Space Marines are made of completely

01:23:17.180 --> 01:23:21.100
mortal materials and methods. Stormcasts get

01:23:21.100 --> 01:23:23.819
to have a bit of their god involved in creating

01:23:23.819 --> 01:23:27.000
them. We profess to serve the Emperor, but reasonably,

01:23:27.279 --> 01:23:30.140
most Space Marine chapters are atheistic. They're

01:23:30.140 --> 01:23:31.819
like, I don't think he's a god. I think he's

01:23:31.819 --> 01:23:33.739
just a very powerful psyker, apart from the Black

01:23:33.739 --> 01:23:35.680
Templars and a few others. But it's like, we

01:23:35.680 --> 01:23:40.220
are all made by science and technology. Stormcasts

01:23:40.220 --> 01:23:41.720
are like, I'm going to put some lightning in

01:23:41.720 --> 01:23:44.699
your body. Where's that coming from? That's some

01:23:44.699 --> 01:23:47.920
secret sauce I've never heard of. From God. Yeah,

01:23:47.920 --> 01:23:50.600
yeah, yeah. I met him once, yeah. No big deal.

01:23:51.300 --> 01:23:56.279
They're, um, they're also, it's, um, the, like,

01:23:56.380 --> 01:23:58.140
and the thing, like, Space Marine Aspirants,

01:23:58.140 --> 01:24:00.060
right? There's all, there's all some, like, trial

01:24:00.060 --> 01:24:02.260
they have to go through, right? Like, to make

01:24:02.260 --> 01:24:04.340
sure, like, even, like, if you make it through,

01:24:04.380 --> 01:24:06.199
even before, like, you know, the GNC and everything's

01:24:06.199 --> 01:24:08.829
implanted. even if they didn't do that you'd

01:24:08.829 --> 01:24:10.670
probably like a kick -ass warrior would probably

01:24:10.670 --> 01:24:12.609
still come out of that right even if they just

01:24:12.609 --> 01:24:14.590
were like yeah we're not actually going to put

01:24:14.590 --> 01:24:16.130
all the organs and stuff in you but you know

01:24:16.130 --> 01:24:18.149
you're really cool we'll you know something like

01:24:18.149 --> 01:24:24.109
that being like a warrior is not a criteria to

01:24:24.109 --> 01:24:26.310
be a stormcast sick because the thing is right

01:24:26.310 --> 01:24:29.670
you can make someone kick ass he's taking your

01:24:29.670 --> 01:24:32.329
soul and turning you into you know an eight foot

01:24:32.329 --> 01:24:36.140
tall demigod You can work on the kick -ass after

01:24:36.140 --> 01:24:39.739
that. Sigmar's looking for, like, you died heroically,

01:24:39.859 --> 01:24:41.840
like, usually against chaos, but, you know, if

01:24:41.840 --> 01:24:44.260
you're fighting off, like, an orc horde or something,

01:24:44.359 --> 01:24:47.079
that's probably, that counts. One of them, for

01:24:47.079 --> 01:24:51.060
example, Gardas Steel Soul, which, that's a cool

01:24:51.060 --> 01:24:58.619
name. He was just a doctor. And when he, like,

01:24:58.739 --> 01:25:02.279
all he did, like, his heroic act was, he was

01:25:02.279 --> 01:25:05.640
just like, like two hours of sleep back to healing

01:25:05.640 --> 01:25:08.659
the defenders back when chaos was a assaulting

01:25:08.659 --> 01:25:10.819
where he was at he's like get back in the fight

01:25:10.819 --> 01:25:14.600
like his heroic thing was just healing the people

01:25:14.600 --> 01:25:16.819
fighting against all odds no matter what was

01:25:16.819 --> 01:25:19.979
going on and uh hell he did have to fight at

01:25:19.979 --> 01:25:22.659
one point only but you know he was a doctor it's

01:25:22.659 --> 01:25:25.479
not trained he just picked up some like candlesticks

01:25:25.479 --> 01:25:27.840
and tried to chaos warriors over the head with

01:25:27.840 --> 01:25:30.159
it which didn't work but sigmar was like you

01:25:31.020 --> 01:25:33.859
I can make you kick ass, but you've already got

01:25:33.859 --> 01:25:35.439
the spirit. That's what I want. And the thing

01:25:35.439 --> 01:25:38.800
is, they're also barring entry to only righteous

01:25:38.800 --> 01:25:41.199
people, morally righteous people, whereas like

01:25:41.199 --> 01:25:44.859
you said about failed aspirants, there's a failed

01:25:44.859 --> 01:25:47.899
aspirant in Maneus Calgar's origin story who

01:25:47.899 --> 01:25:49.640
tried to be an ultramarine. He went through some

01:25:49.640 --> 01:25:51.979
of the trials, but he failed midway. And so then

01:25:51.979 --> 01:25:55.890
he becomes a trainer for the like... the children

01:25:55.890 --> 01:25:58.770
who will become ultramarine aspirants and in

01:25:58.770 --> 01:26:01.270
his story he falls to chaos he becomes a corn

01:26:01.270 --> 01:26:03.369
eight worshiper and he's sacrificing the aspirants

01:26:03.369 --> 01:26:06.770
on an altar of course yeah like that's that's

01:26:06.770 --> 01:26:10.890
not good like if and if you fail oh there's always

01:26:10.890 --> 01:26:13.869
but you'd also get people like kayla baron from

01:26:13.869 --> 01:26:16.369
the death guard who became a house carl and was

01:26:16.369 --> 01:26:19.029
morally good but it's not a guarantee just because

01:26:19.029 --> 01:26:21.270
you became a space marine or attempted to become

01:26:21.270 --> 01:26:22.810
a space marine doesn't mean you're a good person

01:26:23.210 --> 01:26:25.489
whereas yeah like it's a you are not allowed

01:26:25.489 --> 01:26:28.689
to be a stormcast unless you are like the equivalent

01:26:28.689 --> 01:26:33.029
of a martyr or a saint i suppose my slight favorite

01:26:33.029 --> 01:26:36.390
detail kind of with like again i will he'll probably

01:26:36.390 --> 01:26:38.989
be his own episode one day with uh mr hamilcar

01:26:38.989 --> 01:26:42.550
bear eater he basically is like the reincarnation

01:26:42.550 --> 01:26:45.989
of sigma and sunset they sort of meant basically

01:26:45.989 --> 01:26:50.489
yeah yeah but hamilcar is star lord for uh for

01:26:50.489 --> 01:26:55.279
warhammer he's like i'm hamilcar who yeah he

01:26:55.279 --> 01:26:59.359
like mentions how some of the because with stormcast

01:26:59.359 --> 01:27:02.220
they are a lot of them are from civilization

01:27:02.220 --> 01:27:05.840
slash human you know cities empires whatever

01:27:05.840 --> 01:27:08.680
that have fallen so lots of them are essentially

01:27:08.680 --> 01:27:13.180
people who are out of time in a sense like some

01:27:13.180 --> 01:27:16.180
of them they speak languages that they're probably

01:27:16.180 --> 01:27:18.579
the last person who will ever speak it you know

01:27:18.579 --> 01:27:21.720
they come from places and they have weird traditions

01:27:21.720 --> 01:27:25.810
of thing. Again, the people who are... You guys

01:27:25.810 --> 01:27:28.109
are good? No, you go ahead. Especially the ones

01:27:28.109 --> 01:27:30.550
from the Age of Myth and the Chaos that you just

01:27:30.550 --> 01:27:32.529
kind of slurp from a last stand. It's like, that

01:27:32.529 --> 01:27:35.829
tribe had 50 people in it and Sigmar grabbed

01:27:35.829 --> 01:27:39.529
one. It's kind of just them from it now. Yeah,

01:27:39.550 --> 01:27:42.489
so they are quite unique in terms of some of

01:27:42.489 --> 01:27:45.369
them have traditions that are just like, they

01:27:45.369 --> 01:27:47.409
are totally lost because the people they came

01:27:47.409 --> 01:27:51.649
from are gone. uh so they are weird you know

01:27:51.649 --> 01:27:54.829
they feel like they are strange out of time people

01:27:54.829 --> 01:27:57.229
in some sense but you know it depends on the

01:27:57.229 --> 01:27:59.829
stormcast because it is like it has a space marine

01:27:59.829 --> 01:28:01.449
problem with a lot of them that some of them

01:28:01.449 --> 01:28:04.510
can be very much because they are super soldier

01:28:04.510 --> 01:28:07.369
they've lost their connection to what normal

01:28:07.369 --> 01:28:11.329
people think like but then other ones do understand

01:28:11.329 --> 01:28:14.050
it like again we'll talk about mr hamilcar bear

01:28:14.050 --> 01:28:18.359
eater who is like a roaring barbarian king just

01:28:18.359 --> 01:28:20.979
like you know sigmar was in his real life and

01:28:20.979 --> 01:28:25.199
he understands how to inspire mortal people um

01:28:25.199 --> 01:28:28.359
but other ones just don't get it because they're

01:28:28.359 --> 01:28:31.319
like what do you mean we're we're the ones who

01:28:31.319 --> 01:28:33.319
do the fighting not the weak people and like

01:28:33.319 --> 01:28:36.640
no it's not like that yeah so there has some

01:28:36.640 --> 01:28:39.119
variation like again like a lot the none of the

01:28:39.119 --> 01:28:42.760
same at all really they're all basically we grabbed

01:28:42.760 --> 01:28:47.420
super soldiers um guys okay hamilcar might be

01:28:47.420 --> 01:28:49.439
one of the only people in warhammer having fun

01:28:49.439 --> 01:28:53.619
yeah although in his book he gets tortured quite

01:28:53.619 --> 01:28:56.260
a lot and he doesn't go through it just like

01:28:56.260 --> 01:28:58.319
you know that like his animation right he seems

01:28:58.319 --> 01:29:02.899
to be just kind of walking up like there's the

01:29:02.899 --> 01:29:04.979
great bit where he's he's doing the stuff in

01:29:04.979 --> 01:29:06.840
that animation though the other stormcasts are

01:29:06.840 --> 01:29:09.850
watching from like a hill And one of them goes,

01:29:09.930 --> 01:29:13.630
is he dead? And everyone goes, not yet. And there's

01:29:13.630 --> 01:29:15.890
like, you can tell from the way he says it, he's

01:29:15.890 --> 01:29:17.649
really intrigued about what's going on, but he's

01:29:17.649 --> 01:29:20.390
also like, I'm not counting him out, but he should

01:29:20.390 --> 01:29:23.590
be dead. But he's not dead yet. Okay, where's

01:29:23.590 --> 01:29:26.210
this going? You're like, oh, you guys. Despite

01:29:26.210 --> 01:29:30.529
the tone in Age of Sigmar, it's much more like,

01:29:30.689 --> 01:29:33.189
I don't know if it's like, I guess, grimdark,

01:29:33.289 --> 01:29:36.189
but it is very like... it's more you know we're

01:29:36.189 --> 01:29:40.810
losing it is like the world was once amazing

01:29:40.810 --> 01:29:44.449
and we're losing um but it's not as it's not

01:29:44.449 --> 01:29:48.090
as miserable as 40k but the backdrop of aos is

01:29:48.090 --> 01:29:51.050
chaos kind of beat the out of everyone for a

01:29:51.050 --> 01:29:54.390
hundred years straight yeah so everyone's a little

01:29:54.390 --> 01:29:57.029
bit like again not all the storm car you know

01:29:57.029 --> 01:29:59.869
they're in the midst of like a long long war

01:29:59.869 --> 01:30:03.829
so it is very difficult and obviously very dour

01:30:04.270 --> 01:30:07.489
you know many many of the outposts of different

01:30:07.489 --> 01:30:09.489
civilizations and different realms is basically

01:30:09.489 --> 01:30:12.350
falling apart and they're constantly undermanned

01:30:12.350 --> 01:30:14.890
but you know again they're not all depressing

01:30:14.890 --> 01:30:17.210
like you know and then we just we just serve

01:30:17.210 --> 01:30:19.590
sigma raw you know because sigma's not himself

01:30:19.590 --> 01:30:23.550
depressing at all he is like i'll 100 fist fight

01:30:23.550 --> 01:30:26.270
someone chug a beer and then make a tactical

01:30:26.270 --> 01:30:28.810
map and play with my little toy soldiers you

01:30:28.810 --> 01:30:32.260
know so so they reflect their God King. They're

01:30:32.260 --> 01:30:35.779
all very... Sigma was literally like, oh, I'm

01:30:35.779 --> 01:30:37.640
just going to tell people that I haven't perfected

01:30:37.640 --> 01:30:40.159
the process. Meanwhile, in reality, he had a

01:30:40.159 --> 01:30:44.859
pile of shame he hadn't finished. I get around

01:30:44.859 --> 01:30:48.619
to it. I think it's implied as well that Stormcast,

01:30:48.899 --> 01:30:51.819
unlike in 40k with Space Marines, who were never

01:30:51.819 --> 01:30:55.119
most of the, you know, 99 .9 % in fact, basically

01:30:55.119 --> 01:30:57.739
all of them have never seen the Emperor. Most

01:30:57.739 --> 01:31:01.909
of them have seen Sigma. not necessarily spoken

01:31:01.909 --> 01:31:04.689
to him but they've probably been in the same

01:31:04.689 --> 01:31:07.090
room as him or like been in a feasting hall with

01:31:07.090 --> 01:31:09.289
him or seen him something has spoken to him or

01:31:09.289 --> 01:31:11.869
a minimum they remember that time they shat themselves

01:31:11.869 --> 01:31:14.449
when the gash was holding them like in that trailer

01:31:14.449 --> 01:31:16.590
yeah and then he yoinked them away like thanks

01:31:16.590 --> 01:31:21.109
thanks thanks thanks thank you i didn't want

01:31:21.109 --> 01:31:25.399
to be a bone reaper Yes, like, they've generally,

01:31:25.479 --> 01:31:27.920
like, seen their... And even they acknowledge,

01:31:28.119 --> 01:31:29.640
like, they even say, like, they know Sigma's

01:31:29.640 --> 01:31:32.560
not perfect, which is an interesting dynamic.

01:31:32.659 --> 01:31:34.960
They don't think Sigma's perfect, but he is,

01:31:34.979 --> 01:31:39.020
you know, he's that guy. He's the guy. So, you

01:31:39.020 --> 01:31:42.399
know, they are... Again, part of him, they are

01:31:42.399 --> 01:31:45.100
loyal to him. A part of him is always with them,

01:31:45.199 --> 01:31:49.619
and they rely on that power. But, you know, again,

01:31:49.699 --> 01:31:51.640
it's a bit of a loose sum because they are slowly

01:31:51.640 --> 01:31:55.180
losing who they are, but... Basically, they already

01:31:55.180 --> 01:31:57.560
died in the war, so I guess it's another chance

01:31:57.560 --> 01:32:00.119
just to do something again. Life after death

01:32:00.119 --> 01:32:02.680
sort of thing. But they're very cool. Some of

01:32:02.680 --> 01:32:05.899
their equipment as well, which is... I have to

01:32:05.899 --> 01:32:08.359
double check because it still makes me laugh.

01:32:08.539 --> 01:32:11.199
I think it's called Sigmarite, isn't it? It is

01:32:11.199 --> 01:32:15.880
called Sigmarite, and what it is is bits of the

01:32:15.880 --> 01:32:18.920
core of the Warhammer fantasy world. Because

01:32:18.920 --> 01:32:22.060
incidentally, at least in Azir, if you look up...

01:32:22.539 --> 01:32:24.800
The core of the world is just kind of there.

01:32:26.920 --> 01:32:29.760
They mine it to make the Stormcast armor, which

01:32:29.760 --> 01:32:32.859
does technically make it a finite resource, but

01:32:32.859 --> 01:32:36.699
it's also the core of the planet. I think they've

01:32:36.699 --> 01:32:39.319
got plenty to go around still. There'll probably

01:32:39.319 --> 01:32:41.819
be at least a couple more additions before we're

01:32:41.819 --> 01:32:45.020
going to be running out of Sigma, right? All

01:32:45.020 --> 01:32:48.159
of them don't necessarily because of who they

01:32:48.159 --> 01:32:50.020
are in life, so not everyone wants to use the

01:32:50.020 --> 01:32:52.770
same weapon because of They're not like a Space

01:32:52.770 --> 01:32:54.529
Marine. They're assigned stuff like that. They

01:32:54.529 --> 01:32:57.630
can actually have things. There's even in Hamilcar's

01:32:57.630 --> 01:33:02.409
own book, Sigmar reforges equipment for him in

01:33:02.409 --> 01:33:04.710
the Starlight. And then, interestingly enough,

01:33:04.770 --> 01:33:08.930
unlike chapters in Space Marines, which is there's

01:33:08.930 --> 01:33:10.829
always going to be an Ultramarines chapter or

01:33:10.829 --> 01:33:14.810
Ironhands or, you know, God forbid, what's the

01:33:14.810 --> 01:33:17.829
backup for Ultramarines? Genesis chapter or anything

01:33:17.829 --> 01:33:20.550
like that. I love it. There'll always be those

01:33:20.550 --> 01:33:26.069
ones. But the storm hosts are often based around

01:33:26.069 --> 01:33:30.369
a particular storm cast who's essentially either

01:33:30.369 --> 01:33:33.170
through great effort or great deed, they have

01:33:33.170 --> 01:33:39.970
become a Lord Celestine. And then they essentially

01:33:39.970 --> 01:33:43.069
build around them. So they basically need their

01:33:43.069 --> 01:33:45.369
own and they get to name their own hosts. And,

01:33:45.369 --> 01:33:48.010
you know, like Hammercar's bear eaters were.

01:33:48.520 --> 01:33:51.039
the bear eaters because he was a bear eater,

01:33:51.180 --> 01:33:53.880
but then other points that different hosts become

01:33:53.880 --> 01:33:55.920
different things based off of who the storm cast,

01:33:56.159 --> 01:33:58.899
um, Castellan is essentially leading them. So

01:33:58.899 --> 01:34:02.020
they are very much like elite squadrons that

01:34:02.020 --> 01:34:05.899
are based around a particular leader, essentially.

01:34:05.920 --> 01:34:10.239
Very, very cool. Yeah. They, like there's a,

01:34:10.420 --> 01:34:13.239
and there is like those, and those different

01:34:13.239 --> 01:34:16.359
storm hosts, like they do have, uh, I mean, it's

01:34:16.359 --> 01:34:19.899
like the Space Marines. Like, it's the out -of

01:34:19.899 --> 01:34:21.979
-universe reason is to give you all the colors

01:34:21.979 --> 01:34:23.880
and lore you want to paint your little dudes.

01:34:24.380 --> 01:34:26.560
But, I mean, that's not a bad thing. That's why

01:34:26.560 --> 01:34:29.420
we have, you know, all the Space Marines we do.

01:34:29.520 --> 01:34:32.880
Because we like more cool lore for our little

01:34:32.880 --> 01:34:35.119
dudes. I hope that's not a shocking statement

01:34:35.119 --> 01:34:40.319
to anyone here. Andy, you're muted. Sorry, I

01:34:40.319 --> 01:34:42.180
was going to say all 400 -something of them,

01:34:42.239 --> 01:34:49.760
which I've... Some of them are kind of like...

01:34:49.760 --> 01:34:52.140
Some of the stuff is out there. I like the Celestial

01:34:52.140 --> 01:34:55.619
Vindicators Stormhost because they worship a

01:34:55.619 --> 01:35:01.840
being that is like the 12 rune faying swords

01:35:01.840 --> 01:35:05.079
of the Empire of Fantasy all combined into one.

01:35:06.500 --> 01:35:10.319
Which is like, what? How did... I don't know.

01:35:10.420 --> 01:35:13.140
It's just like... I like those little things

01:35:13.140 --> 01:35:14.520
like there where it's like just something little

01:35:14.520 --> 01:35:16.579
neat, like where it's like, you can do what you

01:35:16.579 --> 01:35:18.479
want for the lore. It's out there, make your

01:35:18.479 --> 01:35:20.920
own stuff for it. Here's this cool little beat

01:35:20.920 --> 01:35:23.020
and, you know, figure out how you want to, you

01:35:23.020 --> 01:35:25.779
know, handle it. Uh, there's stuff like that.

01:35:25.859 --> 01:35:30.439
And again, uh, the hammers of Sigma are the GW

01:35:30.439 --> 01:35:32.500
couldn't hold themselves back at the blue and

01:35:32.500 --> 01:35:34.699
gold poster boys of the setting and the super

01:35:34.699 --> 01:35:37.460
armor. I wonder, I wonder where that came from.

01:35:38.359 --> 01:35:40.180
Although I guess in this case, the, you know,

01:35:40.820 --> 01:35:43.079
Gold is the most prominent and blue is the least

01:35:43.079 --> 01:35:45.600
prominent, but I still know what you are, Hammers

01:35:45.600 --> 01:35:48.460
of Sigmar. You can't hide from me, Matt Ward.

01:35:51.180 --> 01:35:54.819
Yeah, there's a lot of different Stormhouse to

01:35:54.819 --> 01:35:58.199
go from. I think back, Josh Reynolds, thank you

01:35:58.199 --> 01:36:01.380
for giving me the superhero comparison. A lot

01:36:01.380 --> 01:36:03.899
of them view the people under them like Spider

01:36:03.899 --> 01:36:06.140
-Man. With great power comes great responsibility,

01:36:06.399 --> 01:36:09.399
right? Space Marines, they tend to view themselves

01:36:09.399 --> 01:36:13.149
as... their own thing right like they are above

01:36:13.149 --> 01:36:15.770
the common man not you know not all of them but

01:36:15.770 --> 01:36:19.170
i feel it's a pretty correct general statement

01:36:19.170 --> 01:36:21.590
to say that most space marines view themselves

01:36:21.590 --> 01:36:25.550
very apart from common humanity whereas like

01:36:25.550 --> 01:36:28.130
i said like spider -man the stormcast like we

01:36:28.130 --> 01:36:30.649
certainly have friendly neighborhoods stormcast

01:36:30.649 --> 01:36:33.590
like oh okay we certainly have more power we're

01:36:33.590 --> 01:36:36.010
certainly like going on tougher things than you

01:36:36.010 --> 01:36:38.170
but you know we have the responsibility to use

01:36:38.170 --> 01:36:41.520
that well there and you know you can find plenty

01:36:41.520 --> 01:36:45.399
of storm casts just as rulers as dignitaries

01:36:45.399 --> 01:36:48.220
and cities like officials just doing things which

01:36:48.220 --> 01:36:50.859
again you know there's been a lot of space marine

01:36:50.859 --> 01:36:52.619
lore you can find some of that every now and

01:36:52.619 --> 01:36:54.720
again but like with the storm cast that's more

01:36:54.720 --> 01:36:57.739
of the standard And to be fair, a Stormcast could

01:36:57.739 --> 01:37:00.300
live an entire lifetime as a regular human, then

01:37:00.300 --> 01:37:03.000
become a Stormcast. There's nothing normal about

01:37:03.000 --> 01:37:04.920
growing up as a Space Ring. It's like, oh, you're

01:37:04.920 --> 01:37:10.039
five? Right, let's put you in the Globulo machine

01:37:10.039 --> 01:37:14.260
and make you into a naughty super soldier. Like,

01:37:14.300 --> 01:37:16.819
oh, okay. Yeah, you know, it's the rest of my

01:37:16.819 --> 01:37:19.520
life. Yeah, or some 90 -year -old guy who's been

01:37:19.520 --> 01:37:21.920
like the mayor of a town for his whole life.

01:37:22.590 --> 01:37:24.869
And he gets sucked into being a Stormcast because

01:37:24.869 --> 01:37:27.170
as he was, you know, right before he would have

01:37:27.170 --> 01:37:30.689
died, he charges a Chaos Lord just like, I'm

01:37:30.689 --> 01:37:33.550
90 and I'm going to give you what for. You know,

01:37:33.550 --> 01:37:36.010
Sigurd's going to be like, that guy's pretty

01:37:36.010 --> 01:37:37.970
cool. But, you know, when he reforges, he's going

01:37:37.970 --> 01:37:40.010
to be like, well, yeah, I need you to fight Chaos.

01:37:40.090 --> 01:37:42.390
But, you know, when you're not doing that, go

01:37:42.390 --> 01:37:46.229
be a mayor. You clearly know how to do it. You

01:37:46.229 --> 01:37:48.869
charged a Chaos Lord with a butter knife? Fair

01:37:48.869 --> 01:37:52.550
play. You're a Stormcast. I want you. There are,

01:37:52.569 --> 01:37:55.949
you know, also, there's still some of the angry

01:37:55.949 --> 01:38:02.670
ones. There was one storm host who... I believe

01:38:02.670 --> 01:38:05.069
this actually broke one of the chains binding

01:38:05.069 --> 01:38:08.369
Slaanesh, what they did. Because they did the

01:38:08.369 --> 01:38:12.369
classic, I don't know who in here is a chaos

01:38:12.369 --> 01:38:19.050
worshiper. Kill them all! So, that... That did

01:38:19.050 --> 01:38:21.569
a bit of an oopsie and broke one of Slaanesh's

01:38:21.569 --> 01:38:24.909
chains. But that does also mean, again, if you

01:38:24.909 --> 01:38:30.149
do want the grimdark, brutal warriors who just

01:38:30.149 --> 01:38:32.949
slaughter everything in their way because there

01:38:32.949 --> 01:38:36.010
is no such thing as innocence, you can still

01:38:36.010 --> 01:38:37.729
find that in the Stormcast, and they're still

01:38:37.729 --> 01:38:42.270
there. But overall, they're a little bit more

01:38:42.270 --> 01:38:44.989
lighter, high fantasy in tone. Still, again,

01:38:45.149 --> 01:38:47.789
it's still Warhammer. All of the Warhammers are...

01:38:48.170 --> 01:38:52.250
a rough place to be, but it's less brutal overall.

01:38:52.510 --> 01:38:57.810
There's more room for hope. Slightly. You know,

01:38:57.810 --> 01:38:59.590
still slightly. It's still, like you said, even

01:38:59.590 --> 01:39:02.329
in, you know, the funny, in Hamilcar, the funny

01:39:02.329 --> 01:39:04.789
man's book, he spends a lot of time getting tortured.

01:39:06.430 --> 01:39:10.529
Oh my God, that poor guy. I think, yeah, so is

01:39:10.529 --> 01:39:12.810
there anything more, I think, because he's so

01:39:12.810 --> 01:39:18.909
far. I don't know. It's, What are some other

01:39:18.909 --> 01:39:23.170
things? Anyone can be a Stormcast. I think they've

01:39:23.170 --> 01:39:26.810
never confirmed it, but it's one of those things

01:39:26.810 --> 01:39:31.170
I don't know how much I want to say, but it wouldn't

01:39:31.170 --> 01:39:33.550
be completely lore -breaking if you were bored

01:39:33.550 --> 01:39:35.890
and were like, you know what? I'm giving all

01:39:35.890 --> 01:39:39.689
my Stormcast dwarf heads. I mean, hey, Grungi

01:39:39.689 --> 01:39:42.909
was helping Sigma reforge them. Could be a few

01:39:42.909 --> 01:39:46.029
where Grungi was like, hey, I like dwarves. i

01:39:46.029 --> 01:39:49.449
think it's they they think that they're all humans

01:39:49.449 --> 01:39:52.770
but then in the hammer car book he says that's

01:39:52.770 --> 01:39:54.649
what you think but you don't know that no one's

01:39:54.649 --> 01:39:57.590
ever told you that it's only been human souls

01:39:57.590 --> 01:39:59.970
it just must be like because of where they are

01:39:59.970 --> 01:40:03.350
slash human souls obviously easier for sigma

01:40:03.350 --> 01:40:06.510
i think to assess and yeah or it could could

01:40:06.510 --> 01:40:08.750
even be where it's like sigmar like something

01:40:08.750 --> 01:40:11.210
the reforging process turns them into a human

01:40:11.210 --> 01:40:14.279
could even be that Although I would very much

01:40:14.279 --> 01:40:17.000
love to see in the bottom of my heart an orc

01:40:17.000 --> 01:40:24.100
storm cat. Sigmog is pretty good. I think with

01:40:24.100 --> 01:40:26.779
that, though, we might have a few last more...

01:40:26.779 --> 01:40:30.039
Was there a last few Dino Dandy before? Oh, wait.

01:40:30.140 --> 01:40:34.000
I didn't talk about that. There are also just

01:40:34.000 --> 01:40:36.619
one last thing. There are a lot of different

01:40:36.619 --> 01:40:40.720
storm cast eternal characters. Balthus Oram,

01:40:40.819 --> 01:40:45.270
my beloved. The man, the myth, the legend, he

01:40:45.270 --> 01:40:51.069
swears he's from the world that was because he's

01:40:51.069 --> 01:40:53.649
a stormcast wizard with a really strong connection

01:40:53.649 --> 01:40:57.689
to the wind of gold who rides a mount named Quicksilver

01:40:57.689 --> 01:41:03.689
in Age of Sigmar and found a library with a bunch

01:41:03.689 --> 01:41:06.369
of knowledge on the old world and remembered

01:41:06.369 --> 01:41:08.970
himself before anything else scamming a taxi

01:41:08.970 --> 01:41:16.090
driver. Welcome back, Alpha Sargelt. Nice. He

01:41:16.090 --> 01:41:19.229
is still a piece of shit. Brother and Sigma are

01:41:19.229 --> 01:41:25.810
still going. There's room for that, too. Was

01:41:25.810 --> 01:41:28.649
there any more don'ts, Andy, before the end?

01:41:28.710 --> 01:41:33.050
There was a couple. The end is on me. Starting

01:41:33.050 --> 01:41:38.850
off with the first of six or so. Limper, 106

01:41:38.850 --> 01:41:41.689
for five. If the plan involves you dying, it's

01:41:41.689 --> 01:41:44.590
time to rethink the plan. True. This man would

01:41:44.590 --> 01:41:50.350
not make it in the Imperial Guard. Not. Christopher

01:41:50.350 --> 01:41:54.310
Steve's thing is $5. If you like a Stormcast

01:41:54.310 --> 01:41:56.750
novels that makes you feel bad and connect to

01:41:56.750 --> 01:41:58.930
the Stormcast condition, I suggest the Skaven

01:41:58.930 --> 01:42:03.109
Tide novel and the ancients. Cool. It was even,

01:42:03.130 --> 01:42:05.270
and again, even in like that, that short story,

01:42:05.350 --> 01:42:07.810
like it's. As much as everyone's going to like

01:42:07.810 --> 01:42:09.529
it because it's Balthasar Gelton, you know, the

01:42:09.529 --> 01:42:11.770
jangly keys are dangling in front of you. Like,

01:42:11.789 --> 01:42:14.670
look at the funny man. He's back. It does show

01:42:14.670 --> 01:42:17.010
that even like some of the Stormcast, like especially

01:42:17.010 --> 01:42:19.609
the ones who were reforged from Souls from Fantasy,

01:42:19.750 --> 01:42:23.550
that like they don't feel whole because they

01:42:23.550 --> 01:42:26.750
know they were someone else. But it's been an

01:42:26.750 --> 01:42:29.670
entire infinite reality and setting change away.

01:42:30.540 --> 01:42:33.079
so it's getting like a little bit more hopeful

01:42:33.079 --> 01:42:35.039
like which does leave you know room for more

01:42:35.039 --> 01:42:38.380
stuff but it's also like they're super soldiers

01:42:38.380 --> 01:42:41.539
in eternal war and as much as some people saying

01:42:41.539 --> 01:42:44.380
them dying just take away the stakes which i

01:42:44.380 --> 01:42:47.199
do to some extent understand it does also mean

01:42:47.199 --> 01:42:50.300
that at least when a space marine dies the dude

01:42:50.300 --> 01:42:53.760
can be done a storm cast dies and it's like i

01:42:53.760 --> 01:42:59.020
need you to go fight rk on again Unless you're

01:42:59.020 --> 01:43:02.659
a dreadnought, then it's like, in the coffin,

01:43:03.100 --> 01:43:07.359
okay. I look over to the chat one time, and I

01:43:07.359 --> 01:43:12.800
see Nilok again saying, I respect an insane lesbian.

01:43:13.260 --> 01:43:17.260
I don't know what they're talking about in chat,

01:43:17.260 --> 01:43:24.039
bro. Is it a Warhammer thing? Chat's just been

01:43:24.039 --> 01:43:30.369
talking about random stuff. i'm looking at what

01:43:30.369 --> 01:43:33.590
is happening here nick mac uh three five eight

01:43:33.590 --> 01:43:36.369
seven for five bucks thank you so much man uh

01:43:36.369 --> 01:43:39.350
hey guys what's one thing each of you like about

01:43:39.350 --> 01:43:42.750
your least favorite faction no backhanded comments

01:43:42.750 --> 01:43:46.649
or insults how genuine things i mean i can take

01:43:46.649 --> 01:43:48.550
the charge if everyone else needs time to think

01:43:48.550 --> 01:43:52.060
go for it if you know Knights are cool. I'll

01:43:52.060 --> 01:43:53.979
give Bretonnia credit. There's a reason people

01:43:53.979 --> 01:43:55.699
can stomach them, even though that's the only

01:43:55.699 --> 01:44:00.579
thing. Knights are cool. Look, a Bretonian army,

01:44:00.640 --> 01:44:03.899
if painted well, should look like a Skittles

01:44:03.899 --> 01:44:06.619
-like package, but knightly. It's like you've

01:44:06.619 --> 01:44:09.460
got 50 different heraldy streams going on. No

01:44:09.460 --> 01:44:11.819
one has a uniform because it's 50 different knights

01:44:11.819 --> 01:44:14.699
from their vassals showing up. You know what?

01:44:14.779 --> 01:44:17.500
A cavalry charge looks cool. I'll give them credit.

01:44:17.659 --> 01:44:21.229
There's a reason they've got drip. I'm not a

01:44:21.229 --> 01:44:23.810
fan of Tau, but I can say that the Riptide is

01:44:23.810 --> 01:44:26.989
kind of fun, and I respect that they tried to

01:44:26.989 --> 01:44:29.270
do a Halo killer, even though nothing can kill

01:44:29.270 --> 01:44:40.409
Halo other than itself. I don't know. The concept

01:44:40.409 --> 01:44:43.510
of custodians are really cool. Custodians themselves

01:44:43.510 --> 01:44:47.409
are generally pretty neat, and I mean, can't

01:44:47.409 --> 01:44:50.319
hate that much on a... extremely powerful super

01:44:50.319 --> 01:44:54.739
soldier guy thing uh i don't know their one trillion

01:44:54.739 --> 01:44:58.939
names is kind of neat yeah there's cool stuff

01:44:58.939 --> 01:45:01.260
about custodians their main characters generally

01:45:01.260 --> 01:45:05.039
do pretty cool stuff and i like i was i was going

01:45:05.039 --> 01:45:07.140
through the armada lady book and it's like longinus

01:45:07.140 --> 01:45:09.939
being like i spend more like most of my time

01:45:09.939 --> 01:45:13.539
thinking about how i can kill the emperor That's

01:45:13.539 --> 01:45:15.180
like an interesting quote. Yeah, I spend most

01:45:15.180 --> 01:45:16.859
of my time thinking about, how can I kill the

01:45:16.859 --> 01:45:18.920
guy in charge? Because that's how I protect him.

01:45:18.979 --> 01:45:21.340
The Blood Games are cool, too. I saw someone,

01:45:21.500 --> 01:45:23.739
it was like some goofy comic, but it made me

01:45:23.739 --> 01:45:25.680
laugh really hard because it was like a comic

01:45:25.680 --> 01:45:28.880
of the Blood Games. And, you know, it was like

01:45:28.880 --> 01:45:33.520
a funny comic, like not serious. It was like,

01:45:33.560 --> 01:45:36.140
the Emperor was like, I bet you waited like 40

01:45:36.140 --> 01:45:37.779
years. How long did you wait for the perfect

01:45:37.779 --> 01:45:41.180
moment? And he was like, oh no, I didn't hear

01:45:41.180 --> 01:45:43.260
to kill you. Malkador sent me to say a message,

01:45:43.420 --> 01:45:45.100
and the message was just, you lost the game.

01:45:46.659 --> 01:45:49.319
Awesome. You know, that made me giggle. I'll

01:45:49.319 --> 01:45:52.439
give that one. God, I'm trying so hard not to

01:45:52.439 --> 01:45:55.399
think of a backhanded way of... Oh my god, this

01:45:55.399 --> 01:46:00.060
guy. This guy. It's really difficult. What's

01:46:00.060 --> 01:46:02.119
your least favorite faction, first of all? He's

01:46:02.119 --> 01:46:05.079
stuttered, yeah. He couldn't even get the name

01:46:05.079 --> 01:46:09.539
out. Unsurprising. I was thinking... I like the

01:46:09.539 --> 01:46:14.199
idea that there's some faction that AI, you know,

01:46:14.239 --> 01:46:17.340
the, you know, men of iron or like these supercomputer

01:46:17.340 --> 01:46:20.819
AI things is still present than the 40 K verse.

01:46:21.100 --> 01:46:25.899
I hope they delve more into that side of it and

01:46:25.899 --> 01:46:28.859
less into the Norse door thing, because that's

01:46:28.859 --> 01:46:30.739
already done. And I think that's the most interesting

01:46:30.739 --> 01:46:33.800
part of it. I like the idea because it's very

01:46:33.800 --> 01:46:37.359
reminiscent of like. It's the book Neuromancer,

01:46:37.420 --> 01:46:40.319
if anyone has read that. Classic 80s cyberpunk

01:46:40.319 --> 01:46:44.680
inspiration. Give me a bit more cyberpunk -inspired

01:46:44.680 --> 01:46:48.720
AI themes and I'll be pretty gassed. I think

01:46:48.720 --> 01:46:51.539
that's a cool starting place they've got for

01:46:51.539 --> 01:46:55.939
it. That was really tough. I know they've got

01:46:55.939 --> 01:46:58.880
the carriage in, but I kind of like the hyper...

01:46:59.810 --> 01:47:02.869
materialist like stolaris super materialist empire

01:47:02.869 --> 01:47:05.310
vibe they got going on i'm still like i know

01:47:05.310 --> 01:47:08.810
truck big truck is cut big truck is fun look

01:47:08.810 --> 01:47:11.550
i know above all else i still think unholster

01:47:11.550 --> 01:47:13.829
the means of negotiation is the hardest line

01:47:13.829 --> 01:47:16.649
in 40k so i gotta give the leagues of otan credit

01:47:16.649 --> 01:47:19.550
for that one that yeah and then jackets all those

01:47:19.550 --> 01:47:25.090
jackets are good christopher steves and you're

01:47:25.090 --> 01:47:28.500
the five dollar Thank you. In the ancients, they

01:47:28.500 --> 01:47:30.800
do have a handful of Stormcasts that just straight

01:47:30.800 --> 01:47:33.819
up defy Sigmar's will, or at least Stormcast

01:47:33.819 --> 01:47:36.500
High Command's will. Yeah, because, you know,

01:47:36.539 --> 01:47:39.039
they're their own people. There's not really...

01:47:39.039 --> 01:47:41.920
I mean, you know, Sigmar does, you know, he does

01:47:41.920 --> 01:47:44.039
tamper with them a little bit, but, you know,

01:47:44.039 --> 01:47:46.920
not enough to... It's not, you know, space marine

01:47:46.920 --> 01:47:49.180
level hypo -indoctrination. It's like, you know,

01:47:49.180 --> 01:47:55.000
it's like a... I see you died. charging 1v100

01:47:55.000 --> 01:47:58.039
bloodthirsters. We're going to pull back on the

01:47:58.039 --> 01:48:01.779
bravery just a tad. It's like that. You've got

01:48:01.779 --> 01:48:04.340
to go back to the stats screen and respec, because

01:48:04.340 --> 01:48:06.060
you're a bit too crazy. We're going to bring

01:48:06.060 --> 01:48:09.920
the bravery down to 10 from the 100 it was at.

01:48:10.420 --> 01:48:13.520
He doesn't bring across all of their memories,

01:48:13.739 --> 01:48:18.439
so clearly the parts he doesn't like, he leaves

01:48:18.439 --> 01:48:21.899
behind. There is some stuff, but yeah. He's like,

01:48:21.979 --> 01:48:24.180
you're doing too much. I'm going to put 100 points

01:48:24.180 --> 01:48:27.100
into adaptability. You can dodge roll better.

01:48:28.180 --> 01:48:30.760
Dark Souls 2, the greatest game of the Souls

01:48:30.760 --> 01:48:39.100
series. Synthwagons. Good name. $4 .99. Wow,

01:48:39.239 --> 01:48:41.880
very cool. Sigmarine. Anyway, I'm going to paint

01:48:41.880 --> 01:48:46.520
Synthwave Soulblight as God intended. Sounds

01:48:46.520 --> 01:48:50.100
pretty cool. The mortal realms belong to the

01:48:50.100 --> 01:48:54.789
cash. That's simply how it is. DocuMan USA, maybe

01:48:54.789 --> 01:48:57.630
the $5. I have an extreme amount of rum in my

01:48:57.630 --> 01:49:01.350
system. I'm going to meander about my city. Godspeed.

01:49:01.710 --> 01:49:08.189
Do it safely, but also very few things are as

01:49:08.189 --> 01:49:10.750
spiritually fulfilling as a two -hour walk home

01:49:10.750 --> 01:49:13.529
from a drunken bar that takes three hours. Especially

01:49:13.529 --> 01:49:19.670
if you're shouting sea chantees. Get the filthiest

01:49:19.670 --> 01:49:24.170
kebab or wherever you are, whatever it is. I'm

01:49:24.170 --> 01:49:27.550
talking, you know when a meal is so good, you

01:49:27.550 --> 01:49:32.500
have to eat it in your underwear. What? We have

01:49:32.500 --> 01:49:35.659
a sequel from the rum man. The man who's rum.

01:49:36.520 --> 01:49:41.180
You don't want me. You're pissed drunk and then

01:49:41.180 --> 01:49:43.420
you're just getting ready for bed, but you're

01:49:43.420 --> 01:49:45.859
hungry. So you've got the McDonald's. You've

01:49:45.859 --> 01:49:47.600
got everything set up. You're eating your underwear.

01:49:47.680 --> 01:49:50.500
You're just munching away. Usually if I'm drunk,

01:49:50.579 --> 01:49:54.699
I just fall asleep in my clothes. i've never

01:49:54.699 --> 01:49:56.600
been piss drunk and i've also never been ready

01:49:56.600 --> 01:49:59.319
for bed and then eat mcdonald's after that oh

01:49:59.319 --> 01:50:02.779
no right i won't it's like having a beer in the

01:50:02.779 --> 01:50:05.039
shower i'm on to something okay i've also not

01:50:05.039 --> 01:50:07.479
done that oh no that one i can't fault sometimes

01:50:07.479 --> 01:50:10.399
look if you're there for a party weekend you

01:50:10.399 --> 01:50:13.079
gotta start 11 a .m you know clean yourself take

01:50:13.079 --> 01:50:17.229
a sip clean yourself take another sip I have

01:50:17.229 --> 01:50:19.930
an idea about doing law crimes, drunk history

01:50:19.930 --> 01:50:23.890
law. I think only me and Colin will be willing.

01:50:24.729 --> 01:50:26.630
Give it a month when I'm at my own house and

01:50:26.630 --> 01:50:28.430
I don't need to worry about shaming my family.

01:50:31.470 --> 01:50:33.569
SimCon, what's some nice words? Thank you for

01:50:33.569 --> 01:50:36.670
the $2. Love you guys. Love the vids. You are

01:50:36.670 --> 01:50:39.770
supreme. Thank you. You are supreme. We love

01:50:39.770 --> 01:50:43.949
you. You are supreme. More of metal. Love it.

01:50:44.760 --> 01:50:48.800
I think there's one more. Oh, no. There is a

01:50:48.800 --> 01:50:54.020
couple. Incoming backup for 15 squigglies. As

01:50:54.020 --> 01:50:55.899
a soldier, the Stormcast honestly are a pretty

01:50:55.899 --> 01:50:57.779
great metaphor for how fighting and war erode

01:50:57.779 --> 01:51:00.640
you. Genuinely a pretty simple but clever analogy.

01:51:01.140 --> 01:51:08.520
True. War never changes unless you're an eight

01:51:08.520 --> 01:51:13.289
-foot lightning man. It changes slightly. And

01:51:13.289 --> 01:51:15.689
the last one. Jesus, that name needs a change.

01:51:16.689 --> 01:51:22.510
I'm a crazy person. Crazy man. Damn, man. Two

01:51:22.510 --> 01:51:25.770
bucks. Someone quick fetch Donkey Man's car keys.

01:51:26.250 --> 01:51:33.729
Driving in my car right after a beer. Two bourbons,

01:51:33.750 --> 01:51:36.149
one scotch, and one beer. Can everyone in chat

01:51:36.149 --> 01:51:39.670
give us a line or an encouragement for Donkey

01:51:39.670 --> 01:51:43.840
Man USA who's going out tonight? Safe travels.

01:51:43.880 --> 01:51:49.239
Be safe. I'm not condoning it, but hearing another

01:51:49.239 --> 01:51:52.460
human being sing the words DUI, how about you

01:51:52.460 --> 01:51:59.000
die? Don't drink and drive. Don't do it. Thank

01:51:59.000 --> 01:52:02.319
you all for the donations. You guys are so generous.

01:52:02.439 --> 01:52:05.319
Thank you. I think with that being said, though,

01:52:05.420 --> 01:52:10.319
I think that's it. What? The message document

01:52:10.319 --> 01:52:14.680
just said. Alcoholics don't run in my family.

01:52:14.720 --> 01:52:17.520
They drive. Thank you. Thank you, Darkie Man.

01:52:18.899 --> 01:52:24.880
And Drubk. Oh, crazy stuff, man. But we will

01:52:24.880 --> 01:52:27.079
all, again, I don't know what we're doing next

01:52:27.079 --> 01:52:29.119
week. We might have a guest on soon. Not saying

01:52:29.119 --> 01:52:32.260
who, though. And we'll see you guys all very,

01:52:32.279 --> 01:52:33.880
very soon. Again, thank you guys for listening,

01:52:33.979 --> 01:52:36.180
for watching. Again, join the Discord if you

01:52:36.180 --> 01:52:40.159
want to. I think people are doing a list. Something

01:52:40.159 --> 01:52:42.020
about listening in the long. They usually hang

01:52:42.020 --> 01:52:44.460
out. Wow, we're streaming. Some people hang out,

01:52:44.479 --> 01:52:49.020
yeah. Or I just see my face in that picture.

01:52:49.939 --> 01:52:53.579
All right, see you guys very soon. Love you all.

01:52:54.840 --> 01:52:58.140
Bye, everybody. Love you. Oh, God.
