Hello, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls.
Welcome back to Law Crimes. Hooray! Another week,
another law crime to be done. Now, I've got to
be honest, folks. Hal's not here today. I can't
remember why. He did tell me. He's very well.
Starts with a G, ends with an E. Come on. We
know why Hal's not here. Mm -hmm. Okay. Well,
he did tell me. And I didn't pay enough attention
to remember. I'm sorry. But he's away. So today
we had an impromptu, like, oh, we've got to do
an episode today. What is that? What is that?
What are you chomping on, buddy? Slop. Oh, it's
gruel. Eli is eating the gruel. It's cream of
wheat with protein powder. Is that what they're
calling it nowadays? I don't know. Gruel is gruel.
Also, yes, I was the immature person who picked
the title for this video, and I also appreciate
how many immature comments there are in the stream,
including, I love semen, I love semen, I love
semen. Amazing. That was another one. So it's
Andy that's the expert on semen. Personally,
I would have pegged Colin or Eli for that. Wow.
Very good stuff. Colin's holding down a fort
right now, so don't worry about that. Yeah, so
today we are covering the Imperial Navy, the
Novus Imperialis. This is something that one
particular viewer has been requesting ad nauseum.
like every other video or every video there's
a comment like navy when navy when so we might
as well do it today um but with that said uh
start with colin colin do you have much knowledge
on the imperial navy they're kind of an obscure
not an obscure thing but they're not as widespread
knowledge as say space marines or or other factions
in humanity uh i've got I've got an okay amount
of knowledge on the Imperial Navy. I did make
a video about them. I've played me some Battlefleet
Gothic. Not the tabletop, unfortunately. I have
the worst curse a person who does tabletop games
can possibly have, which is my friends only care
about 5e. Please, please kill me. I would like
to play something other than 5th edition Dungeons
& Dragons. At least you're not playing the newest
iteration. Or are you? that is yeah 5e is the
current iteration of dnd well there's 5e but
now there's like dnd beyond or something i think
that's just a website that is a website i don't
know what i'm trying to say is there another
like there's like new character creations out
and it's poo in my opinion it's not it's not
i haven't seen those but they they took away
all of the uh the traits for different races
and you just kind of like goop now you know that
whatever That I have not touched. But for the
Navy, I've got a decent amount of knowledge,
I feel. An okay amount. Okay, Eli, what about
you? I love the Pacific. You're from the Segmentum
Pacificus. Okay, fair enough. I do really enjoy
naval battles in 40k books. I've not studied
the Navy, though. I just really like ship maneuvers
and blowing things up. Space combat is so cool.
It's so cool. It's literally all made up and
none of it is grounded in reality at all whatsoever,
but it's still really cool. Also, I've been...
Go for it, go for it. I've been given a request.
Hal is getting his prostate checked. I received
a message. Wow. I'm sending the message. Wow.
Wow. I will say, everyone going on about... everyone
they're going on about oh dawn of war yeah new
dawn of war when are we going to get battlefleet
gothic free come on i need to play one and two
bro i started so do i i really want i've never
i've never played them and now i have a pc i
have to play them but i'm just like oh it's cool
i want to play i want to play battlefleet gothic
on tabletop that's what i wanted to isn't it
strange that like you get these weird branching
off ones that you got the uh What's it? Aeronautica
and Titanicus. Braden's obsessed with Aeronautica
and Imperialis. Does anyone play them? Braden
does. Other than Braden. No, only Braden when
he forces his brother to play with him. Yeah,
it's Braden with two armies. He just stands in
the gaming place like, take my army, play with
me. But with that said, I'm going to helm this
episode because it wasn't too long ago. i can't
remember when it was that i did a um a video
on the uh the novice uh imperialists maybe a
year i can't remember it's been a while but not
too long and i still remember like most of it
and there's been like a couple of little tidbits
i've heard from like completely unrelated books
or or codex which have fed back into this particular
faction because it's one of those interesting
ones where most things in the setting for like
the human army are connected to this action and
yet it's not a limelight faction that gets as
much you know as much uh insight as say like
the space marines or even the guard to an extent
but let's keep it simple to start with so originally
back in the 30th millennium during the great
crusade there wasn't such a thing as a bespoke
navy for the uh the uh the imperium it was just
you had the imperial army and the army was the
navy and the guard combined because why would
you just have bespoke things when you could just
have them together to uh to the imperium's credit
it was a really good start you managed to get
the entire galaxy basically under your thumb
in a couple of years. The ships were originally
made from Mars's Ring of Iron, where, you know,
Mars is next to Earth because we know Mars is
in our solar system, Mechanica's home world.
And eventually, as the Great Crusade expanded,
we got new outposts in places like Vos, Sipramundi,
Loren, and the Saturnine Dominion, which is a
weird kind of niche thing. The Saturnine Dominion
are like the guys who made the armor and weapons
for the... the solar auxilia, they're strange.
They only exist really in 30K. There are these
tech savants who aren't connected to the Mechanicus,
aren't connected to the Imperium. They're a weird
middle ground between the two. And they also
had some help in starting off the Imperial fleet.
And this was amazing from the beginning. uh they
establish different outposts across the galaxy
like port more port more still exists there are
places like footfall and all these like trading
hubs fleet hubs places where you could be like
oh we can dock 100 ships 200 ships refuel them
rearm them i saw that eyebrow raise i saw that
i saw that you like get your mind out of the
gutter um And there are all these certain places
where, oh, this was from the golden age of humanity.
We'll have that back. This is an old Mechanicus
outpost or Mechanicum outpost at the time. So
we'll re -retrofit that and stuff. For a while,
the expansion of the Great Crusade was practically
uncontested because although spaceships have
existed all the time, humanity now has space
marines, which do a lot of good heavy lifting
for like, oh. Yeah, you can ferry machines and
machines of war like tanks or space marines and
stuff like that. But now you have the space marines
added to the ground forces. Oh, it's much easier
to take stuff. And with the beginning of the
Horus heresy, colonies, fleet anchorages, expeditionary
fleets started to fragment. Welcome back, Colin.
The human forces, although completely united
under one rule of the Imperial Army. um with
the horus heresy beginning they had to change
allegiances and bear in mind um like for example
right now i'm doing some uh some night house
content on my shorts there's a lot of stuff intertwined
with the night houses in the titan legions where
obviously when horus turned traitor he had support
from kelvor hal the fabricator general of mars
who's the highest ranking mechanic sky by the
same virtue of people turn traitor because they
were like, the guy in charge turned traitor,
I guess I should be a traitor too. The same happened
with a lot of the fleets of the Imperium because
Mechanicum makes ships. We are part of Mechanicum
kinda, I guess. So I kinda like Horus. He's a
neat guy. He's kinda cool. And some of them,
kinda like the Black Shields of the Astartes,
went, screw both of you. I'm going to be a pirate.
I am a pirate. Har har fiddle dee dee. Heresy
is not for me. That's what they said. You made
that up on the spot? I did. I'm very clever.
That was pretty solid. Thank you. Thank you.
Full cover. Never. That would be funny. But with
the end of the Horus heresy, the Imperial Army
was broken apart because... A lot of people know
about the Codex Astartes. A lot of people know
about Rebute Gilliman going, hey, having 100
,000, like, juiced up super... Special Marines.
Special Marines. Ah, Special Marines. We know
our duty, and we will do it. He knew that having
100 ,000 juiced up super soldiers was probably
not a great idea, because if the person in charge
of those soldiers turns traitor, that's 100 ,000
extra. it is added to the pile if you split them
up into a thousand a thousand chapter chunks
if a chapter master turns feral it's not as bad
unless you're huron blackheart and then it's
still kind of a problem although technically
he cheated he did have more than a thousand space
trains that's beside the point um the point is
likewise having all mortal soldiers in the imperial
army as just like a big amorphous blob is also
a bad idea And so Rabute Gilliman also said,
let's split the army into the navy and the guard.
And here's something that was kind of something
I didn't realize until, again, I was listening
to Armarted Lady, which is all a plot about how
the Ecclesiarchy is trying to reform the kind
of army, which isn't the sororitas. This is like
men at arms. And the whole plot is about seeing
just like, ah. I'm going to corrupt the guy in
charge of the ecclesiarchy to get the, how do
they call it? I keep thinking chambers militant,
the fraternist militia. We're going to get them
back in the fold so I can sow chaos within the
imperium and use the emperor's faith against
him. And in that book, there's a mention of,
oh, the ecclesiarchy and the guard can't go anywhere
without the sanction of the Navy. Like Imperial
Army regiments do not have any ships. The Navy
does. As a failsafe, you can't deploy an entire
Cadian regiment or Vestroian regiment or Catachans
or whatever, unless you have the Navy in tow
with the ships to move them, which I thought
was like a neat thing that I didn't realize at
first. Like, oh, like the Ecclesiarch, you can't
just go around wherever they want. They need
to have like support from the Navy. and this
kind of works well because if ever a regiment
like for example what they could be mobian six
from dark tide if ever they go traitor you can
keep them on one planet oh you want to get off
the world well the navy's got to be involved
you're going to try and like oh hey guys sorry
i smell like poo but um don't worry about that
i'm totally loyal to the imperium don't worry
about it like no no i don't know So the Navy
is very important. And it's worth remembering
that as powerful as a Space Marine is, a Space
Marine can't fire a Nova cannon. A Space Marine
could kill a thousand people wholesale gradually
one at a time. Or a guy in a ship could just
be like, button. Funny button. Let's fire it,
Will. And then it's like... So you don't mess
with the Navy. They're kind of scary in that
regard. They can also just decide, no, we will
not be transporting your troops off planet. Go
fuck yourself. And then if you give them too
much lip, they're like, oh, sorry, is that the
exterminatus button under my palm? Oh, it's so
tempting. I'm oppressive. I'm oppressive. Big
red button. But the interesting thing as well,
that they are freed. An advantage they have after
the Horus Heresies, they're freed from the guard's
bureaucracy. So like, hey, screw these guys.
We can do what we want. We don't have to worry
about some stodgy general telling us what to
do. But at the same time, the caveat is there's
friction between the guard and the Navy. And
so whenever there's like a High Lord of Terror
meeting where it's who gets the most stuff. The
two are always bickering, going, well, I want
this for my ships. Well, I have guards. I need
food. Oh, screw your food. I need Nova cannons.
Screw your Nova cannons. I need fuel for my tanks.
Well, actually, I need fuel for my ships. This
has always resulted well throughout all of human
history when the Army and the Navy are at odds
with each other. Yes. I love the history of every
plane built by the United States since, like,
1940. yeah like the um the the the stealth craft
the one that's very angular and like oh we've
got to dock this and refuel it so we'll need
ships and then the navy like we're not putting
that on one of our carriers that's dangerous
oh it's got bombs on it uh and so between the
two um but it's it's worth remembering that broad
strokes there are five segmentums of the galaxy
you got solar which is where Earth is and the
surrounding area. And then you've got Obscurus,
Pacificus, Tempestus, and Ultima. Guess who lives
in Ultima? Each segmentum, the Ultramarines,
each segmentum has a big fortress. So, for example,
these fortresses are usually stationed... on
or around a particular planet. So, Segmentum
Solar, it's Mars. It's where the Mechanicus live.
Kind of makes sense. Obscurus, it's Cipramundi.
Pacificus, it's Hydrafer. Ultima, it's Ka Dunyash.
And Tempestus, it's Baka, which is funny because
in Japanese, Baka means idiot. I always find
that funny. i always love looking at the segmentum
maps because obviously aside from ultima they
try and make the other four look like they're
roughly equal in scale but like if you look at
the galaxy like ultima segmentum is clearly like
50 of it on its own yeah and then they make segmentum
pacific i mean grant you know these are all like
galaxy spanning organizations i get it But, like,
Segmentum Pacificus is, like, ten stars and half
a planet. Well, the only thing is, though, Ultima
is massive, but it's also really far away from
Terra. And the problem is... The further you
are from Terra, the more there are chaos uprisings.
There's less resources. It's more difficult to
communicate. Supply lines are more stretched.
So the problem is like all of the segmentums
other than solar for the most part. have vast
waves where it's like dead planet dead star system
dead dead dead this place is sort of chaos we
blew it up this place is full of orcs this place
is too far away to supply this one we lost communications
with and ignored so like that's kind of what
we're dealing with but yeah it's just always
funny looking at the map it's like bro please
just give like segmentum obscurus like another
centimeter on the map bro please but then all
the navy guys are like no we're stretched thin
as it is don't give us more terrain please please
give ultramar more go on screw those guys they
got the ultramarines they got named characters
bottom five jobs in the imperial navy being the
guy who has to figure out like troop movements
and segmentum ultima well that way we will We
will get there. But for now, each fortress has
a master of the administratum to help organize,
like you were saying, organize troop actions,
resources, supplies, etc. Because you kind of
need the administratum because they have all
the stuff. And each fleet is led by a lord admiral.
There's five in total. But the lords, the fleet
master of the solar segmentum is always the highest
ranking because... terror the throne world earth
lives in segmentum solar so whoever's in charge
of it is like i can sacrifice the other four
if needs be because the emperor lives on terror
and i'm in charge shut your mouth i'm in charge
he also tends to be a high lord of terror because
of this So fleet solar is also the best fleet
there is because it has to be the elite in order
to protect the throne world. But every segmentum
is broken up into eight subsectors, which usually
is about 8 million cubic light years in size,
which is big. And then every one of those subsectors,
each of those eight is divided into. myriad different
subsectors and i just want to like mention a
thing i saw a short on youtube so you know it's
true uh british uh scientist brian cox he's like
hello i'm brian cox i've got a lovely nice calm
voice and i talk about science uh he did a an
interview and this is a clip from it where he's
talking about how the known universe that we
can see has about two trillion galaxies in it
In a single galaxy, you've got about 400 billion
stars. So that's 400 billion suns, each with
probably a few planets at least, kind of like
endless space. So if we consider the Milky Way
as having 400 billion stars, that's a lot of
stars, which means we've probably got like a
trillion planets as a conservative guess. That's
a lot of planets. a trillion planets divided
by five is still 200 billion stars so that's
probably still like a lot of stuff yeah now most
of those are you know like dead nothing planets
you don't got to worry about but even then still
a lot of planets it's a lot and so with that
in mind the navy goes okay yes we've got a segmentum
yes we've broken that into subsectors yes we've
broken that into subsectors we also have small
battle fleets that are petitioned from those
subsectors to patrol across the subsector in
like usually anywhere from two to i think it's
like a couple of cruisers and if they spot something
dangerous they hail the other ships and they
all convene around that patrol and they bring
their full might to counter whatever the threat
is um every uh smaller battle fleet is commanded
by a lord admiral but each battle fleet is broken
into usually two battle groups and the battle
group usually patrols two to eight sub -sectors
are you keeping up it's very complicated um but
every battle fleet roughly speaking, is anywhere
from 50 to 70 cruisers or battleships. And bear
in mind, these are the largest ships you can
get. This isn't accounting for smaller vessels
or escort cruisers. So like 50 big old ships
minimum, enough to probably kill like an entire
star system on their own in like a couple of
days. So like pretty substantial. But each of
these battle fleets is responsible for, you know,
transporting regiments to specific planets, supporting
space marine encounters with incursions of chaos
or xenos. We're talking about transporting goods
and merchant fleets. We're talking about protecting
explorator fleets. And generally speaking, every
battle fleet has two cruisers and a bunch of
escorts. But on occasion... several battle fleets
so several bunches of 50 to 75 big ships with
a lot of other ships will combine to maybe 100
200 and something ships big ones anyway into
uh bastion fleets and the bastion fleet adopts
a name so you have for example battle fleet gothic
battle fleet cadia battle feet corona agrippina
or armageddon and if you like hell's reach um
High Marshal Helbrecht was in command of Battlefleet
Armageddon or Bastion Armageddon. He's from the
Black Templars. He's like the best naval Astartes
there is. So he was probably in charge of about
200 massive ships, maybe a couple of thousand
escorts, et cetera, to stave off the orcs during
the biggest incursion orcs have ever done on
humanity. So, for example, Battlefleet Armageddon
specifically. He's got four battleships, 27 cruisers
and 36 escorts. But then there's like a wider
amount of them in that battlefield as they started
to pull their resources. But due to the distance
from Terra, the battle fleets such as Obscurus
have the worst time because they often are equipped
with the most outdated ships available. And they
have to requisition from already battered reserve
fleets or shipyards that housing like, hey, we've
got this. hot off the press ship from 2 ,000
years ago, none of the guns on the front work,
and it's got holes in it. Thanks, we're fleet
obscurus. It sucks. And that's kind of the overview
of the fleets in general, but I think it's time
we did some donations before I talked about the
different ships. Because I've been yapping for
a while, would you guys like to do the donations
for this one? I would. I know at least one of
them is aimed at me, so... I've got a couple
of them. You got to press the button, Andy. I
don't know how to do that. DonkeymanUSA with
two bucks stream late due to Hal gooting to semen.
Many such cases. Here it is. DonkeymanUSA with
the fiver. Thank you. Colin, the Corona Fireball
Zero Ultra tastes like how tonight is sound.
I'm going insane in real time. My frequent vodka
intake has not prepared me. It's not a drink
for the faint of heart or anyone really. Colin's
husband oiled up and bouncing freaky style. Thank
you. My flag flies full mass today. Happy birthday.
Wow. Colon. Wow. Another colon. $2. My boatmen
spilleth over flooding the seaways. Thank you.
Yar. Big one here. Morathi's favorite chair with
the tenor. Thank you very much. Colin, please
another Space Wolves hate video. They are my
favorite 40k faction, but I think your opinion
is valid and agree with a lot of what you say.
I think you're lying about being a Warhammer
fan then. That shows a level of imperfection
no one in this hobby has. Next time Colin makes
a Space Wolves hate video, I need to come out
with a... everything awesome about Space Wolves
video at the same time. On the same day. Another
big one. Husband oiled up and bouncing freaky
style. Thank you for the $10. Eli, have you heard
the good news? Drukari lost more units. They
can take our morals, our rules, our money, our
time, and our dignity, but they'll never take
our skin couches. Kamara will prevail. Well,
hear me out. Let's take the GW shareholders.
Let's take the people who are making... These
decisions. And let's send them somewhere else.
And never see them again. Then Warhammer will
be all better. You are going to Siberia, comrade.
Yeah. I'll one -up you. Send them to Slough.
That'll do them in. To Slough? Andy goes off
the pit. Yep. Big one. 20 euros. Thank you very
much. Hey, guys. How's everybody doing? Colin,
what are your top three factions in AOS? Where
does Kislev rank? Eli, thanks to you. I hate
the Tau much less. Huge. Andy, I wish you would
get big, tall, muscle Chigurhizian mommy. Wow.
I guess I got a question. Kislev, I'm sorry to
say, is not an Age of Sigmar faction. I do appreciate
them. They're real ones. I don't know. I don't
feel too strongly about Kieslev. It's like a
background level of positivity. You know, it's
not too passionate, but I'm happy they're here.
Oh, and there was Andy disconnecting. Yeah, that
was very unfortunate. It was just like, oh, we're
winning. We're at the boss fight. And then it's
like, oh, the melter bomb is not exploding. I
saw that and the boss wasn't moving. I'm like,
oh, someone's internet was having some troubles,
I feel. It's annoying. I moved to PC from Xbox.
I'm like, this will be even better and the graphics
are better. And then it's like, oh, I didn't
expect this was a thing I had to deal with, but
it happens all the time. Wasting my time. Thank
you, Gnomeus. Top three, let's just... go in
no particular order. Skaven, Lumineth, and Osiarch
Bone Reapers. Nice. Next one. Edmund the Spiffing,
thank you for $2. Happy birthday all in Colin's
hello from Lebanon. How many of these messages
have had happy birthday to me? It's Colin's birthday
every day. I will promise this. get even more
i promise we'll commission merch where it just
says happy birthday colin and i'll be just like
suffocating in presence and that'll be funny
i mean and two people will buy it but it'll be
worth it um oh hello i think this one's for me
livid knocks for five andy since you're the only
one of the law crimes members who knows about
my tattoo i would like to entrust you to choose
what my next tattoo will be What you should get
is a tattoo of Colin with the text, happy birthday,
Colin. And I think that'd be very fun. Please
don't do that. Please don't do that. That was
a joke. That was a joke. I repent. I disavow.
I disavow. I got shown the tattoo. It's very
funny. This is for Colin, I think. The dank apostle
with the 35 ZAR. Thank you. Coylan has devolved
from his manly rough dwarf and beard to a manicured
metrosexual. I'm not winning on any account.
Someone left a comment the other day that, that
said like, how, how do you look even worse now?
Oh, wow. Jesus Christ. All right. Colin's husband
oiled up and bouncing freaky style. Thank you
for the $2. Nice. How would y 'all put the Navy
in base 40 K tabletop? I mean, you can't other
than flyers, like just regular flyers, which
they do. You can have orbital bombardment, which
there's rules for back in the day. I don't know
if there is anymore. You put a giant 36 -inch
plate on the table, and anything under it just
kind of evaporates. It's like a hell of a strategy.
Orbital bombardment rules and deep strike rules
are kind of like Navy stuff. what's the gigantic
towel dropship call the man the manta i went
to peachcon in its first year and there was a
manta i saw it and i held it in my hands i was
like why is this like i understand it's cool
but like you can't You can't do anything with
this on tabletop. No, you can. It's the Talmanta.
It costs 2 ,100 points, and you can fit 3 ,500
points in it. It costs as many dollars as it
does points, too. So if anyone feels like donating
$2 ,000, I'll buy a Manta on stream. Just saying.
although the the most impressive thing i've seen
with my eyeballs was i went to manchester for
a stag do of my friend jay and in their shop
they have a gigantic bio ship in the window with
a death watch like diorama and i was like that's
dedication they made a bio ship by hand and just
that i've always had a dream before we go to
the next one i've always had a dream of uh making
a like three or four layer game board where you
have the base layer is ground troops The layer
after that is planes in the sky. And then the
layer after that is space where you're playing
Battlefleet Gothic. That's the dream. Another
dream that's actually achievable is going from
space to ground in like a three game thing. So
you play a space battle and then you determine
stuff on the ground, et cetera, et cetera. We'll
probably do that on the upcoming Battle Report
channel. Ooh, very nice. Trevor Breedlove, thank
you for $20. Thank you. Shout -out to Eli and
Alex at Grimdark Games for motivating me to start
working out. Shout -out to Andy and Hal for the
best lore channels ever. Shout -out to Colin
for getting me into AOS. God bless my friends.
God bless you. Thank you for the $20. Thank you
very much. For the flattery, I will say watch
this space for me and Hal. We have something
cool coming up, and the boys are going to be
involved as well, so keep an eye out. Check out
GrimdarkGames .com. Yes, become hench, like Eli.
It's good. Driving in my car, donating to the
lore crimes with the two euros. Hey, that road
is shaped like a tree. DUI, how about? God. That's
a crazy bit. God bless you, man, with the Asgore
Undertale drunk driving meme profile figure.
10 out of 10. Thank you for the dank apostle.
Join members, and we'll make members -only content
soon. I keep, like, saying that we will, and
then we don't do anything, but it'll actually
happen. It's just a nice thing to do at the moment.
It's just like, oh, thanks. But we'll do some
actual things, like, I don't know, like painting
and hang out, maybe some gaming. Maybe we'll
do some gaming where members can also play some
video games when we can all play together. Mm
-hmm. Mm -hmm. My word. Who's going to read this
one? He's been volunteered. Robot Gilliman's
well -lubricated chain poop knife. Thank you.
Thank you for the 500 RSD. Finally caught a stream.
Y 'all are helping me through tough times. I'm
glad we can do so. Keep up the great work. Hope
the Navy is present if slash when we get 40k
total war. Happy birthday, Cologne. Love, Cologne.
Well, bless you in those tough times. Thank you
for $4 .99. A question for Colin. Do you think
Felix is alive? I'm going to say yes, and then
I'm going to call eternally until that's proven
one way or another. Colin's going to say yes
and curl into a ball. Is he a stormcaster? Is
that the idea? There's been nothing about that.
Is that what you're like? Pretending though?
I'm just going to pretend he's just kind of there.
He's still Felix because his life is suffering.
Fair. Anyways. Back to the Navy. To give you
an overview of the ships because we all love
ships. Ships are fun. Boaty McBoatface. I love
Colin's subtitle as the HMS Boaty. Largest ships
you can get more or less. are the gloriana ships
but you don't really see them anymore because
they were specifically designed for the primarchs
rabute's got one uh we haven't seen the invincible
reason for a long time i'm hoping with the lion
law with his resurgence we see that come back
because they've got the rock which is kind of
a bit like oh so you got the biggest dick in
in the look at mine it's like that's a planet
that's bits of a planet you cheated um and the
phalanx is pretty big too But generally speaking,
as far as conventional Navy supplies, the largest
you can get is basically a battleship, and they
are helmed by Lord Admirals. They are very slow,
but they are very strong, and they are vast.
You can get variations like the Emperor class,
the Victory class, the Retribution class, and
there are rarer models like Apocalypse and Oberon
classes as well. Generally speaking, they house
25 ,000 to 30 ,000 crew. members and they are
brace for british ism eight kilometers in length
okay that's what we use here in canada okay british
and canadians kilometer do a bit colin cringe
oh cringe oh don't you don't you besmirch my
met from thousand meters there's nothing wrong
with that exactly kilo for a thousand yeah What's
the equivalent with America? How do you measure
things? Miles. Burgers. Generally speaking, though,
these are big, and they are pretty luxurious
for the officer caste. If you're an officer,
you have massive bedrooms, you've got dining
lounges, you have servants, and you have concubines,
right? The most senior admirals... have life
standards that exceed planetary governors. Let
me repeat that. If you're in the Navy, you're
getting more stuff than a guy who owns an entire
planet in terms of luxuries. Yes, you've got
less space, less size, I guess. Eight kilometers
is not a world, but you've got plenty of concubines.
You've got your roast pheasants from some planet.
You've got the finest wines. from certain worlds.
And generally speaking, you're in the lap of
luxury, which we'll go back to a little bit later
on for the flip of the coin with the lowest ranking
members. Because let's also bear in mind, as
excessive and crazy as the admirals have it,
just bear in mind the conscripts on the lowest
decks, they sleep in flea -infested pallets without
bedding. So bear that in mind. But to lose a
single battleship is a devastating blow to the
Navy. It's like losing a chapter master. It's
like losing a well -regarded world. Not quite
Cadia, but like losing a very reputed world that's
been serving the Imperium for millennia. Losing
a battleship is crushing because not only have
you lost a lot of lives, you've also lost like
the finest beds, the nicest wines. You've lost
all these exterminatus class weapons. You've
lost a lot. And a virus bomb that detonates in
the vacuum of space isn't no good to anyone.
But with that in mind, if one has to be replaced.
an entire forge world can do it if they drop
everything and spend about a million hours of
labor to get it done if everyone on the planet
like stops working on what they're already working
on it goes gotta replace this battleship they
can do it it's probably going to take months
if not years and everyone on the planet is going
to be working on it so there is that uh the next
smallest smaller one than a battleship is a group
and cruiser it's an older design than a battleship
but it is also a bit smaller uh avenger classes
are the most prominent and they're typically
made from cannibalizing parts of destroyed battleships
where they're like we can't repair this but we
can take bits off to make it work ironclads are
a thing they're fun an ironclad cruiser is basically
a ship that predates the the navy itself We're
talking Great Crusade, if not Age of Strife vessels.
But because they am so old, they don't have shields.
So typically, they're either reserved in the
back lines to carry exterminatus warheads, or
on occasion, they are used as battering rams
to be like, hey, is that a Blackstone Forest
with Abaddon in it? Full speed ahead. We'll put
all the munitions in the front, and we'll just
blow it up like that. Because it's funny. So
ironclads are fun. I wish we had more of them
in the setting, because they're fun. Cruisers
are the next smallest. They are faster than battleships.
They're easier to produce. They are... Here's
the thing about this. I had to do a little bit
of digging, and I think I know why. So you know
how I said, like, the biggest ships, the battleships,
have 25 ,000 to 35 ,000 people in it? Apparently,
these ships, the cruisers, have 10 ,000 to a
million. And I'm like... That's a large range.
A million's a lot more than 35 ,000. And I think,
don't quote me on this, but I think the reason
is there's less need for opulent spaces for the
officers to enjoy, but also because they are
not as potent, you need more staff to crew them.
I think that's the idea. It's like, oh, well,
we don't have to worry about reserving an entire
deck for one guy who will have concubines and
feasting halls and all this stuff. We'll put
like 100 ,000 people in that. Or it's a case
of... oh, this isn't a well -made ship, so we
need ten times the people to crew it. I think
that's why. I'm not sure, but that's what I...
It might be the lower deck dwellers also just
living and breeding endlessly. Yeah. And then
the Master at Arms is like, why is there a thousand
more people this week? They've been shagging
again. Guys, stop doing that. We gave you...
It's unlimited manpower glitch. one way to look
at it in the flea infested pallets oh no um but
yes and they they are typically five to six kilometers
in length uh but they are more versatile despite
the fact they have less firepower they're easier
to make they're quicker to make barely so it's
like oh we could use a battleship to do all this
damage or we could get like five cruisers or
take as much time to build If we lose one or
two, that's better than losing an entire battleship.
So we'll put them in the front lines. They do
less damage, but they're also more maneuverable.
Smallest of all the ships are the escorts. They
operate in squadrons of two to six, and they
are known as wolf packs. Shout out to the Space
Wolves chapter and all you guys who love Wolf
Wolf Wolf. But this is completely unrelated.
This is about air combat. They are very maneuverable.
They typically protect larger vessels or attack
other vessels' weak points, and they skitter
around at about 1 .5 kilometers. Most ships in
the fleet are outfitted with gravitic barriers,
so they can take a lot of punishment with their
force fields. They use fusion battery plasma
drives to propel themselves. And on rare occasions,
they can be used as impromptu explosives or detonation
beacons, like, for example, in flight of the
Eisenstein. It's not a fusion drive. It's their
warp drive. But Garrow and the crew eject their
warp drive to detonate as like a SOS beacon.
And they're like, oh, well, we can't fly if we
kick this out. But we can at least make a big
bright light in the sky so someone might see
it. And thankfully, Rogel dawns about before
he tries to beat Nathaniel Garrow to death with
his fists. But disavowing that, they can be used
for a lot of stuff. They could be used as like
impromptu explosives or beacons. Most ships are
capable of destroying entire cities on their
own. But if you get a group of them, they can
destroy an entire planet. Though not all of them
have exterminator's weapons. Kind of like Knights
of the Republic where it's Malak and it's like,
Taurus has surrendered. We're going to take him,
my lord. It's like, wipe this pathetic planet
from the face of the galaxy. And they're just
slowly shooting it with laser beams. Blowing
it away. Yeah, and it's like, haha, but the Ebon
Hawk got out because this is... Daddy Millennium
Falcon is where it comes from, I guess. They
can do it. It's just going to be slow going.
It's going to be, we'll go city to city, plane
by plane, like a tedious game of minefield, but
the mines are people and they're in the thousands.
Sad. There are also large heavy cruisers, which
have... about 2 ,000 escort craft inside, or
fighter craft, not escort craft. If you have
a heavy cruiser, which is like the mid -tier
ship, they have about 2 ,000 smaller ships that
are inside their hangars. And we're talking about
drop ships and bombers. So if you need to, you
could just be like, hey, I can fit 2 ,000 bombers
in my hull, in the hangar. We're just going to
put 2 ,000 bomber craft on the surface for lols.
and there's like five of us, and that's 10 ,000
bombers, probably with a payload that could destroy
entire worlds. We'll just carpet bomb the entire
planet. It'll be fun. And they can also do saturation
targeting of entire zones of the planet. They
can destroy strike teams to vulnerable positions.
They carry God's Bane Lancers, which is a great
name for a weapon, Nova Cannons, Las Burners,
Torpedoes, which are either Meltor Torpedoes,
Plasma Torpedoes, Virus Bombs. or vortex varieties
that make the fire little black holes onto the
planet. And they also have boarding torpedoes.
So they can imitate being a space Marine, but
less good, which is where you get the breacher
squads, which I wish we had more breacher squads.
I think they're cool. I like the bronze armor
aesthetic. I like how they have the big riot
shields, but they're not like our BTs or space
Marines. We need more Navy guys from the boarding
teams. They're fun. They're calling kill team.
I want to get one day. I want to get a kill team
of just the boarding guys. For the truly insane,
you should play Battlefleet Gothic Tabletop,
and then if you do a boarding action, resolve
it by playing a match of Kill Team with the boarding
squad. And then do that 50 more times, and you
should be done with the game in about two years.
And bear in mind, the only game I've played is...
kill team so far that's the only tabletop i've
played and i enjoyed it a lot but i understand
it's not like it's like babby's first tabletop
game i'm like give me a break um might as well
go through a cut we've got a couple of donations
before i go through promotions and like this
will be a bit of a shorter one because i basically
got ranks left and this is a lot of me just yammering
on but we've got another page or so with ranks
but before we do that i'm just gonna get us through
these donations. This one, who wants to take
Dank Apostle again? Sure. Thank you for that.
35 is a hot take. Trazen's voice actor in Hammer
and Bolter is far better than the audiobook version
of The Infinite and Divine. I have not listened
to that audiobook. I only read the book. I am
in the same boat. Actually, I feel like I did.
Maybe I did listen to the audiobook. I just don't
remember what it sounds like. That's more of
an indictment. Actually, I totally did listen
to it. It's totally in my article. It was that
forgettable, said Eli. It's a good one. It's
fine. I guess I just don't remember the voice
acting. That was like two years ago, to be fair.
Fair enough, though. Oh, my. Dracon's slow. Hankrius
has tumor. Oh, my God. Why? He was here last
time. Being in the IRL, American Navy, I sympathize
with all the poor bastards in the Imperial Navy.
My job could probably be done by a servitor.
Wow. Hope you're doing good, Mr. Drakenslong.
Drakenslong again. Thank you for the five. Colin,
my endocrinologist could kick your endocrinologist's
ass. Maybe. I don't know. Sure. Is he a pretty
buff guy? He's just kind of a guy. He's just
a guy. He's just a little guy. He's just a bit
showy. Yeah, so time to cap it off with ranks.
Again, this is like a very dense information
one, but also we've gone through the kind of
origins of the Navy. We've gone through the different...
uh ships and now it's the ranks and then after
this is that's pretty much it because honestly
this faction doesn't have much fleshing out i
know the astromilitarum get a lot of books like
eli you were saying before the stream you've
been reading a lot of good ones recently the
navy doesn't really get the same treatment which
is a bit of a shame um but there are good bits
so for example if you want to get promoted in
the imperial navy you don't get it through nepotism
you have to do good job um So much so that you
are assigned by the administratum, the literal,
you know, bean counters of the Imperium who are
like commendations. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They're
the guys who appoint you. So, you know, you've
got to do a good job on paper. The highest rank
you can achieve is Lord High Admiral with, of
course, the Lord High Admiral of the Solar Segmentum
being the highest rank there is. the the lord
high admiral of the segmentum solar remains on
the throne world so he he gets his his wings
clipped because he has to sit on the high lords
of terror council and he basically jostles for
position to be like okay i need to make sure
that my armies are equipped as best they can
and similar to what you were saying earlier colin
this is the guy that generally speaking at least
for the segmentum solar and to an extent, a bit
of the outer segmentums is coordinating thousands
of campaigns across the galaxy. That thing we
were saying about, Oh, there's like so many billions
of stars. This is the guy that's like, Oh God,
what is going on every single day? Like puffing
his vape. like every few seconds like i'm so
stressed i'm so stressed oh my god what's going
on now and there's a what now what's a necron
okay we've got to deal with them like this is
the guy who's like scrambling to try and figure
out okay who's this captain what's he doing who's
this guy who's that guy it doesn't seem like
a good job it's obviously plush because you're
like not in the front lines but you spend all
your day with the high lords of terror that's
pretty dull um I want to say one of the previous
ones got killed in the coup to dethrone Rebute
Gilliman as Lord High Commander, but I'm not
sure. But again, at least the guy is trying to
do the best for his men, because obviously he's
been appointed because he knows what he's doing.
This isn't an nepotism organization. This isn't
a bureaucracy organization. You get to be the
top dog by doing the most stuff. So he obviously
knows what he's doing with combat. He's been
in the trenches. So he's trying to do his best,
but he's probably also a bit glad not to be,
you know, fighting Huron Blackhearts pirate raiders
in the front lines, being attacked by, like,
bombardments of their broadsides. Like, oh, I'm
glad I'm not there anymore. But every Lord High
Commanderial commands a segmentum, as we've said,
and they are also known as Battlefleet commanders,
and each is responsible of thousands of sectors.
There are so many sectors. So if each sector
has like a dozen ships, that's 12 ,000 ships
with a crew of 20, maybe 15 ,000. So millions
of people are under the thumb of these particular
individuals. The Lord Admirals are the next highest
ranking people. They report directly to the Lord
High Admiral of each segmentum, and they are
in charge of a sector. So there's eight Lord...
admirals of each segmentum which means there's
40 in total in the galaxy uh vice admirals are
their aides they command light cruisers and destroyers
of the fleet so they they are pretty high ranking
but obviously they're not in charge of a segment
of a segmentum thank god but they're also not
in charge of a sect of all eight sectors thank
god uh rear admirals are the youngest of the
like upper crust of the navy These guys, I say
mundane tasks, but they coordinate things like
refueling the fleet, doing convoy disputes and
repair efforts. But let's not forget they have
concubines. They have dining halls. They have
like the finest of all cuisine. They have the
comfiest of all beddings. They're doing fine.
So like mundane tasks is a bit in air quotes,
but it's also worth remembering that. And then
who's next? Let's load this bit of footage. There
we go. The next one is the Commodores, which
is a fun name. I like the name Commodores. Fun
fact, Cato Sicarius, everyone's favorite ultramarine.
His home planet is technically commanded by the
Void Tridents. And their chapter master is also
called a Commodore, which is fun. But Navy Commodores
are also called group commanders. They are the
most senior ship captain. as you can get, and
they lead bespoke squadrons that support the
Lord Captains, also known as Flag Captains. Captains
work with Flag Captains to helm the cruisers
of the fleet, which are the second most biggest
ships, and they also are entrusted with the survival
of like 15 ,000 to 20 ,000 people per head. Captains
are pretty high ranking, but there's also ones
known as Wing Commanders, which lead all the
Wolf Packs, which are those eight -man squadrons
of escorts. and they are often assigned to either
protect a carrier or to an orbital station. Lieutenants
are the junior officers who act as the second
in command to the captains, and they are the
ones vying to hopefully take their position once
they are either killed or promoted. You've got
officers of the watch who are rotated, so there
isn't an established officer of the watch all
the time. It's more that the lieutenants will...
rotate this position as like a way to be like
right you're you're you're officer of the watch
for like a year or or a few months we're going
to keep a close eye on you while you're in this
position to see if you're capable and if you're
not you will cycle out and then another lieutenant
will take that position and then we'll see how
they do uh so again it's that means testing sort
of thing every ship has a text text text a texas
every ship has a tech priest majoris on every
ship and they represent the mechanicus because
you know you need to go homina homina to all
the uh the toasters on the vessel all the guns
every las rifle you gotta go skibbity riz uh
please please shoot the please shoot the gun
please um Yeah, they've got the incense. What
is Bro on about? All I'm saying is the Mechanicus
are as unknowable as they are weird. And so I
think it's... And so although I met Colin, girlfriend
was like, what is Skivity Toilet? And I showed
her and I said, Colin likes it. And she's like,
ah. It's peak. Doesn't get it. Hey, boomers.
We're in our 30s. Also, you have to have a navigator
on your ships, but you can't just have one because
if your navigator dies, you're screwed. So there's
a principal navigator. They have a choir and
they maintain relations with the navigator houses.
And they also lead the choirs in communicating
between ships. Because again, you can't just
be like, I'm going to text Solar Fleet 127. We're
going to attack. It's like, no, you have to be
like, choir to the other choir, who then send
a message to the captain, be like, you're going
to attack the thing. Because that's how Warhammer
works. There's a master of ordnance, who's in
charge of torpedoes, and attack craft ammunition
stores, ensures that you've got enough fuel in
the tank. You got Master of Arms who looks after
the guns like the Lasguns and Macro Cannons.
You got Fleet Commissars. And here's a fun fact.
Fleet Commissars aren't very high ranked. As
you can tell, they're kind of like in that non
-commissioned, not quite non -commissioned officer,
but they're like just in. They have the authority
to kill the captain if they smell a whiff of
conspiracy as a hint of heresy. They're like
bolt gun. Even inability in Battlefleet Gothic,
at least the video game. where you shoot your
captain to stabilize morale. I'm pretty sure
there's a cutscene as well where there's a captain
who's showing signs of maybe we shouldn't attack,
and there's a commissar who appears out of nowhere
and goes, bang! Incorrect. You are now the captain.
Lol. The ship also has surgeons who look after
the crew. They have confessors who look after
the crew in a different way. You have midshipmen,
which is what my dad's rank was when he was in
the Navy, who, funnily enough, live in the midsection
of the ship. And they maintain intermediary duties.
They are officers, but they're not like the high
rank or the low rank. They're kind of in the
middle. And then, oh, sorry, they are basically
the lowest officer rank. Then you've got non
-commissioned officers, including warrant officers,
also known as petty officers, also known as the
master chief. Halo. Halo. I love Halo. Question,
Colin. Do you know why Chief is a Master Chief?
Fake fan! Fake fan! My default assumption has
always been something, something, Oni crap. Oh,
well, it's... basically uh master chief is the
highest uh rank you can get without being an
officer so there's to my knowledge i can't remember
his name there's only ever been one officer who
was part of the spartans um and he was like the
only guy and it was very strange circumstances
but basically master chief isn't above the rank
of master chief because then he's going to be
resigned somewhat to behind a desk So Master
Chief is the highest warrant officer rank you
can get in the Navy before you're taken away
and you can't fight in the front lines anymore.
They don't want to promote him because he's a
Spartan. It makes sense. Trust me, bro. There's
also, it does, I imagine, help where I'm sure
if the Master Chief told anyone to do something,
they're going to be like, yes, sir, you're the
Master fucking Chief. And also, Andy quote, not
being funny, if they promoted him above the rank
of Master Chief. Everyone will have to get used
to his new rank and call him that by name. Master
Chief? No, actually, I'm actually Lieutenant
John. It doesn't have the same ring as Master
Chief. Master Cheeks, defend this bakery. Basically,
that's what warrant officers do. They're kind
of like sergeants for what you'd have in the
Guard. They are... higher ranking than most people
but they're not quite in that card or of officer
so the men trust them a bit more because like
oh you're not one of those you're not one of
those bureaucrats up there and say no trust me
it's fine um they disseminate orders from the
lieutenants etc to the rest of the front lines
you get ship masters who monitor the the decks
for performance you've got all right here's a
pop quiz fellas guess what a gun captain do Tells
the guns to shoot. He's in charge of the guns.
Correct. Gun captains in charge of the gun crews.
There's a cool animation on Warhammer Plus of
the Angels of Death Origins where it's about
the crew and there's a guy in charge and Warhammer's
kind of goofy. Instead of having in tanks in
modern era you have pre -loading They take the
shell and it loads and it goes straight in. It's
like an autoloader. In Warhammer, you can't have
an autoloader. That's heresy. So they just have
like guys with chains dragging the ordnance into
the barrel in the hundreds. And the animation's
like, hey, there's a gun captain and there's
his men. And the gun captain's not by any means
like high ranking. buddies in charge of the gun
crew and so they're like oh this these rukari
suck let's just drag this ordinance into the
chamber one last time just to kind of flip them
the v kill ourselves in the process and shoot
one shell into their ship while they think we're
we're stuck in like rotating in space without
engines just to mess them up like yeah good man
um you also got sergeants at arms who are in
charge of the armsmen who lead boarding actions
They drill their men for combat. They're the
most veteran of armsmen. And they're usually
armed with guns, auto guns. They're basically
the same capabilities as a Tempesta Scion. So
like Tempesta Scions are, they're raised in the
elite. These are like elite shock troopers. These
guys aren't, they're not like school smarts.
They're street smarts. They're like, I've survived
so many boarding actions against the Black Legion.
I am not to be messed with. And then you've got
Boat Swains. Not a cock swain, a boat swain to
maintain discipline. It's a real word. It's not
naughty. And then we've got a weird one. We've
got ratings. Ratings are like the underclass.
They're the menials. They do maintenance. They
clear debris. They do what's needed. But here's
the weird thing about the Navy, right? Ratings
of volunteers. Why would you volunteer? Here's
another pop quiz. Why would you volunteer to
just be like, I'm going to do like maintenance,
clearing debris from like collapsed tunnels and
just hauling cargo. What's the point? Why would
I do that? My assumption is otherwise your role
in the ship is one of those shit clans that live
near the engine who sometimes get incinerated
when they go to full thrust. Whoa. Eli, what's
your assumption? Probably a roof over your head
and three meals a day. Maybe two. Yeah. Why grow
up in a hive where someone might shank you every
hour of the day? You could go to the Navy. You
get a cot. You get room and board for free. You
get paid. You get paid. You get free hot meals.
And here's the thing. most armsmen are absolutely
stoked to be armsmen they are so happy because
they're because the circumstance they came from
is so rubbish they're like i'm so glad not to
be back in you know birmingham the planet where
this is which is a reference there is a planet
called birmingham it's where the harbingers come
from and they're like i'm so glad i got out of
birmingham now i can live on a ship where i get
like a roof it's amazing um And yeah, the highest
rank of armsmen are generally allowed to carry
weapons on board. Wow, they are trusted that
much because they're proven to be like, hey,
we're insane enough to go on a boarding torpedo,
slam into an enemy ship and shoot heretics. Yeah,
you guys are cool. And the end of my script,
here we go. Voidsmen are good at maintenance
and they are trained as such. You have, unfortunately,
indentured workers who aren't paid, they're generally
drawn from penal colonies, they do hard labor,
and they usually die within months due to malnutrition,
accidents, or punishments. What an emperor. The
Navy. What an emperor. In the Navy. Forts. Did
we talk about spasmarine battle barges at all?
Or is that for a different video? Those are Space
Marine stuff is like their own. Like the Space
Wolves stupid massive fleet they pull out of
their ass as needed. That's just them. They just
have that. That's not related to the Navy. What
if we just didn't follow the Codex Astartes?
What are we talking about? They're good boys.
They follow the Codex Astartes. What if we killed
half the Grey Knives and Knights and pushed the
Inquisition and the Balls? What are the consequences
of this? Nothing, really. That's right, baby.
That's right. Total Spacefall victory. Never
punished. You can get one vague hint that someone
is paying exactly one Orc Warboss. To sometimes
fight the space wolves on their behalf. We've
got 12 ,000 space marines because we've got 12
great companies. And also, we don't have a limit
on scouts. And also, our scouts aren't really
scouts. They're actually veterans who stay in
the scouts. We have blood claws. Don't worry
about it. It's fine. It's fine. I love the vodka
pen recap. Aye. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof.
Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Logan Grimnard's the
goat. He'd solo Calo Drago if he could. Yeah,
and he's washed. Your goat is washed. All I'm
going to say is I didn't include battle barges,
et cetera, because technically they're not part
of the Navy. Because again, Space Marines are
a bespoke organization. They have the ability
to roam the stars at will. Everyone else has
to ask the Navy, hey, can I have a lift? That's
how it goes. It doesn't matter if you're a cassock.
Or if you're a menial laborer, say, hey, buddy,
I don't have Uber. Can you help me get to a party
across the stars? I believe the Imperial Air
Force is also part of the Navy and not the Army.
At least in Taro's campaign, all the Thunderbolts
and stuff are connected to the Navy and not the
Army. The Aeronautica. You have to beg and plead
to get more planes for your campaign. Yes. I've
not done a video on them yet, and that's why
they're not in this video. I mean, they fly planes.
The Navy lets them down sometimes. That's kind
of... It's cool. To be fair, the Navy's cool,
but again, there's a bajillion Astra Militarum
books. There's none for the Navy. There's one
for Aeronautica by Aaron Dempsey. Anyone's coming
out. There's a couple planes books. It's like
a edgier Star Wars equivalent where there's always
a reason why the Navy can't just go, hey, shoot
that guy. And then the planet blows up. Although,
if I remember correctly, for the old Eye of Terror
campaign, I think that was 6th edition? They
took battle reports and included Battlefleet
Gothic in those reports to determine the narrative.
Chaos resoundingly won the ground war, but the
Imperium resoundingly won the space war, so I
think what they were forced to write before they
retconned it was, well, Chaos took the planets
and then they blew up. But then, check out that
Nova canon. I also love the idea that that campaign
was like the ground war was between possibly
thousands of battle reports of people with their
armies and then there was just like two guys
two guys playing the other tabletop game and
so it was just like one guy's wins yeah the other
guy didn't know how to play battle and he owned
both armies and he was like don't let them win
i want the imperial to win this one okay i i
do i do want boats i want imperial boats I know
that there's very little use for actual warships
in a setting like this, but surely if you go
to an ocean planet, it would be done mostly by
boats. Surely. Am I insane? Is that wrong to
say? In one of the Farsight books, by he who
must not be named, there's an orc submarine.
So if the orcs have submarines, surely we can
have some warships. Well, just to put it in perspective,
Eli, Phil Kelly did write a lot of the law for
the Narvis Imperialis as well. He's double dipping.
I don't know what to tell you. I don't want to
say. I just want boats. I want ships. I like
boats. I want the Space Marine dinghy. It'd be
funny. I can't find the stamp campaign because
I wanted to... I totally forgot about it. Uh,
but that, that I have to, like, I wanted to find
some results, see if I couldn't find results
for it somewhere. Uh, I know Eldrad died in it.
Then he got better. I think I'll find, yeah.
Although Eli, I would say that I reckon the reason
GW won't make boats is because you have things
like, um, what's the, the, the space Marine thing
that has like a bit that sticks out the bottom
and it floats above ground. The Landspeeder?
Land Raider? Landspeeder. No, not Land Raider.
Landspeeder. Yeah, I feel like if it can hover
over land, it can hover over water. It's kind
of like Episode 9 of Star Wars. Like, oh, why
are the Stormtroopers on, like, land terrain
vehicles when the vehicles they already have
float? There is. I will say, I will send it in
the Discord right now. There is. I'll send it
in both Discords. Join the Discord. uh there
there is an orc submarine uh that does exist
yeah that's what i say yeah but the orcs can
have that because they're not sophisticated with
technology but the imperium card because it's
like our stuff we have we have we have things
that float above land i don't know although i
really like that um trench crusade of um Britannica,
where it's like a gigantic naval vessel. Totally,
if you're fighting on a completely water planet,
you would need boats. Nah, just do what they
did in the 2003 Clone Wars and land your capital
ships on the water and dive into it. There must
be a way to get boats. You can't drop pod in
the ocean, you'd drown. You just keep going to
hit the seabed and get crushed. And then you
have to like walk. Oh, come on. Walking back
up to the beach. I don't know. I mean, I don't,
it's, I don't know. Boats are like the beat.
I don't know. I can't say, I can hardly say realistic
one way or another because we don't exactly have
a galaxy spanning empire in real life, but I
don't know. It's a, it's a, it's one of those
things where it's like in sci -fi, it's like
we have a spaceship. It's a boat that can now
fly. Yeah, I know. You need a James Bond rendition
where it's like, it's a car that can also be
a boat. And it transforms. That's what you need.
It's a land raider, but it's also a boat. It
can go on waves. Because you can't drive through
the ocean. You need a boat. I would say you could
play Manowar instead, but there's yet another
sub game that has been executed for years. Yeah.
I'm going to research this. I'm going to find
Warhammer boats. Oh, wait. I know where you can
find a Warhammer boat. I'm going to get yelled
at for this one. Oh, no. What have you done?
What have you boys done? Go look at it. World
of Warships, baby. Warhammer boat. Warhammer
40k boat. It's aboard. I'm going to fly my Dakajet
right into the prow of that boat. The Warrior
River boat. There it is. Yeah. I'm so glad I
remembered that. Hammer McCamface. But that said,
I've got nothing left for this episode. I've
told you about the... Again, I really like them.
It's just a shame we don't have... Because again,
I know I'm... kind of belaboring the point, we
have what, like 20 Astra Militarum books? Maybe
more now? There's the Katachan books. There's
a gajillion of them, man. There's four Minskalesk
books. She's got four books now. There's a ton
of books. Most of the old books are Imperial
Guard books. Gunheads, yeah. I got that one.
So there's a lot of Astra Militarum, but there's
no Nevi. I know they're usually support, so it'd
be like, oh, we've got this Dawn of Fire book.
I guess we'll have a Navy guy in there while
they're doing exposition between points. Mike's
telling us don't forget the question of the week
this time. Oh, shit. We did forget twice. Thanks,
Mike. Someone want to check that? If you could
make a Warhammer boat, what Warhammer boat would
you make? yeah hashtag bought uh what how about
i'll buy your time colin how about you if you
look for um for some question days we'll read
uh we got four donuts to get through and then
uh if we if we go through them and you're still
looking we will uh we will buy for time by being
professionals all right um i have thought of
a question however for this week Scar's Next
Top Guy, formerly known as Thanos, thank you
very much for the 59 and okay. Just got the Slaves
to Darkness spearhead. The Gore Beast chariot
got me acting unwise. What do you mean by that?
Also, I love shortening Slaves to Darkness and
Command Points. I don't know what that means,
but that's pretty cool. Hank, Hank, don't abbreviate
Cyberpunk. Hank! Oh, I understand. I understand.
I understand. Funny, funny. Funny, funny. I get
it now. What do I... I don't understand. The
abbreviation for Slaves to Darkness and the abbreviation
for Command Points. Well, Slaves to Darkness
is just STD. That one's not too bad to say out
loud. However... The other one is an oh no. Hank,
don't abbreviate Cod Points. Thank you for the
59 currency. Wherever you are in the world, Mr.
Skarsnik. The next one. Oh, Gnomius for free.
Free for free. All of these are Gnomius. Thank
you very much, Mr. Gnomius. We appreciate it.
Thank you. This is for Andy. The Chogorizian
mommy got Andy wild. Sorry, I'm taken now. I'll
be going. Well, no, you're my side piece. We're
always switching. We're always switching. In
the background. Again, Naomi Chomsky. By the
way, Andy, I have watched your video on the Badab
War. Absolutely love how you covered it. Thank
you. It was a lot of work, to be honest, because
it's only two codexes. It's Imperial Army 9 and
10. And I've had comments like, where are the
books? I'm like, there am no books. It's just
codexes. The Imperial Armor books are long, though.
It's like 100 pages long, those things. And they're
like full, big, giant pages. well the thing is
it's like you got like 60 pages of lore and then
there's 10 pages or no 40 pages of like here
are five six seven space moon chapters and it's
like here's brother brother irrelevant us and
here's his yeah like the lore is usually very
in -depth with lots of details of the conflict
which is why the taros campaign is like 60 pages
of script for me yeah and and even with when
i did my um Siege of Fenris video, I was like,
oh, this is actually a lot of stuff. And it's
just because the codex for Warzone Fenris has
a lot of stuff. And I was able to be like, oh,
here's the bit where Logan Grimnaw gets trapped
underground and he's with Eagle or Iron Wolf.
And it's like, is there a mention of Ragnar Blackmane,
your premier character? Is there shit? No. We're
going to talk about Globshido from the Space
Wolves. Andy, can I get an opinion? Okay. as
unbiased as you can make it is bad at war just
as good as the horus heresy if not maybe a little
bit better oh no it's not it's like honestly
horus heresy has so many layers so many books
and established it has it has 54 books let's
not get okay but but quantity doesn't mean quality
it doesn't but like even the bad quality books
of the horus heresy are are ignorable and you
still have like 20 good books i don't i don't
is that really how we want to base that. I still
think that's how it works, yeah. The books I
don't like, I can just ignore. No, no, no. I'm
not saying you ignore them. It's just like, oh,
they were just kind of bad books, but that doesn't
diminish the really good ones, you know? And
they're like, from a codex, you can't get a POV
character arc, you know? Yeah. I'm not meaning
that. No, no, no. It's not really what I'm talking
about. Like, the conflicts themselves. yeah yeah
but like i i know people have a go at like my
videos for example be like this happened then
this happened this happened and that's kind of
what a codex is like this happened and this happened
and this happened but it's like we don't really
have like logan grimnar in warzone fenris going
through a crisis of like competency as a leader
it'll be like it'll be like a sentence long whereas
in a novel you get like his actual emotions and
opinions and you have an insight into his brain
box about what he's feeling at the time. You
can't really get that with a codex. And so a
Badab war stuff is cool, but I don't really know
what happened to Steve Orlezarek, the chapter
master of the Firehawks, when he was in the entire
campaign. He got body slammed at the beginning,
and he was in the council at the end, and he
was like, we should put all of the Astral Claws
heads on pikes. And he was... generally very
mad about it, but he's only got like three sentences
of actual exposition. So it's like, I don't really
know who Steve Ball is. Eric is. And I bet everyone
who just heard that said who, and that's kind
of my point. It's like, yeah, chat, chat. I want
you to go read the, go find like a PDF of, uh,
I believe it's, it's in the, uh, what is it?
The Warhammer fantasy eighth edition rule book.
Go find it and read about Lord Mortkin. who's
the most interesting chaos character there ever
is, only appears in the core rulebook for 8th
edition and somehow has infinitely more relatable
motives than any motherfucker with 8 ,000 million
books about why their dad doesn't love them.
But hold on, can I ask you a question then? With
that same book you're quoting, are there another
dozen or 20 characters that have that same treatment?
No, they just cook for him. Yeah, it was like
the exception proves the rule. It's like this
one guy had a really good showing. They very
much can do it in a codex. They just don't bother.
Well, why didn't they then? I don't know. GW
doesn't do market research. Why do they do the
things they do? Either way, my point is that
a novel has more capability. Similar to what
you were saying, a person who does an exceptional
codex can do that. But it's much more viable
in a novel. Yeah. And even when there's like
a few bad books, you can do it much more that
you have so many pages to experiment with and
play with. And I love the Badab War stuff. And
I hope in the future they do. But if GW is going
to do another bloody Isfahan 5 book, come on.
Give us some Badab stuff. Come on. Come on. We
did this. We finished this. We did it. It was
done. Stop it. Naughty. naughty gw um but like
i'd love like a book about the badab war which
talks about like when the space marines first
meet esteria and moloch and like this guy's a
creep and then the bit where the carcaradons
arrive and they go these guys are creeps and
they're like stevor is still whinging about how
he got body slammed at the beginning that'd be
cool and then you could have a whole bit about
the star phantoms arriving like these guys are
good but they're also weird and you could have
character moments but They're just not in the
Codex, because when the Star Phantoms arrived,
it's like the Star Phantoms arrived in force,
and they were good. And then they won. Cool.
What if I told you the Battle of War makes more
sense, Heron has better motives than Horus ever
did, and I'd rather read two Imperial Armor books
than 50 Horus Heresy books? Well, you can. And
that makes the Battle of War better to me. Alright,
we're moving on. I've had enough. Can I have
my Horus Heresy recommended reading progression
put onto the screen, please? And then don't kick
me off of Lore Crimes when you see it. I haven't
got that to hand, but I'll just say watch this
space in about a week's time. No, I threw it
in the Discord real quick. You could just put
that on screen right now. This is Colin's recommended
reading order of the Horus Heresy. You cheeky
scamp. I saw that. I do agree with your overall
points, though, Andy. I just don't like the Heresy.
You're just being cheeky. You're being a naughty
boy. You're being a squeewee boy. All right.
Slits and torpedoes on the badab bozos. Don't
talk about here. I like that. Gilman's well -lubricated
chain poop knife. Thank you for the 500 RSD.
Have you guys thought about streaming some 40
K themes? TTRPG, at least a one shot. Yeah, a
little bit. I feel like your chemistry and lore
knowledge would make for a good time. Colin looks
like a DM. Think it how you will. Chat, that's
funny. The biggest problem with RPG stuff like
that is it takes a long time to prepare. That's
the biggest problem that I have. Committing to
it, scheduling it. We could definitely do something
like that eventually, though. To be fair, if
people donate specifically for that, it's kind
of hard to say, I don't have time to do this
because we've literally been paid to do it then.
Also, this is very related, actually. I need
you all to go comment Mr. Arthur Bones through
a bunch of people my way, so now half my comments
are the Bone Man comment. Go comment. Borbo on
every one of his videos, please. B -O -R -B -O.
And then add as many O's to that last O as you
want. It could be Borbo or Borbo. Do it. He does
not get unpunished. I'll go do it right now.
Thank you. You're just making me think of the
only game. What's it called? When a Poachingus
wandered into the forest. The quest for Bing
Bing. Yeah, the main thing is logistics, but
we'll look into it because it's definitely something
that'd be good. Massive dirt. Granites have already
sucked. I'm already triggered. I'm already triggered.
One trillion Borbos to you, Mr. Arthur Bose.
Lost Fleet. Book series has somewhat realistic
space naval fleet battles. I'm assuming this
is a non -Warhammer IP book because I've never
heard of Lost. Let me look it up. I don't know
what this is, but the cover art looks cool. Lost
Fleet book series. Bro, is this the Scarab from
Hell? What am I looking at on this cover? These
look pretty neat. Wacky sci -fi. We'll have a
look. Promise. How do I say this? Any ideas,
folks? Zistera? Zistera. Thank you for the vibe.
They had a singular boat in the Caiaphas Cain
short story, Dead in the Water. They did. I forget
about that story. I'm going to have to read that.
Was that like a Dunkirk situation? If I remember
correctly, it was like a yacht, basically. It
wasn't like a battleship. I think it was a yacht
he was on for Caiaphas Cain reasons. It's been
a minute since I read it. I don't remember it
very well. I don't know. He's Kane. He just ends
up on shit. Kane just does stuff. He doesn't
want to do stuff, but that's his entire story.
Yeah, good to see you. He's in the chat commenting.
He's sending me messages on Discord. I see you,
buddy. In regards to Badab, I recall ADB saying
it was the series he really wants to write for.
Well, he should bloody well do it then, shouldn't
he? Yeah, for real, for real. He's a good writer,
too. I mean, if he wants to write it and he hasn't,
I don't know how much credit I can give him,
but I'm going to make an allegedly statement
here that allegedly I would assume that some
of the GW higher -ups are allegedly saying make
more Horace Heresy books instead, Bozo. Yeah,
probably got the cattle prod in the basement,
the Matt Ward Flash Gets Meme from 20 years ago.
Nick Heim. Nick Heim. This is like in a... Don't
speak his name on Warcraft. No. No. No. It's
finished. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.
No. No. No. No. interesting he's mentioned it
yes he mentioned in past it's a case of if i
can figure out a way to record it that'd be good
because i could edit it together giggly goo i'm
sorry giggling at i checked his latest comments
oh no oh no more morbos on all of his videos
more also i like i'm in the likes the start section
oh disconnect again i'm in the star section for
like um looking at comments, and then I look
at the chat in general, and it's like, 78 notifications.
I'm like, oh, they've been chatting. Extra medium
for five. I tried Colin's ad -rig mixed drink.
It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but
now I know what it feels like when your tongue
gets whiplash. It doesn't hurt, but it tastes
like ouch. It should hurt, but it doesn't. I
don't know. Why? Is Andy frozen? Have I frozen?
I can hear you. I think Andy's dead. Oh, no.
Oh, no. Well, chat, can you still hear us? I'm
waiting for the stream to catch up. All right,
don't worry. I can take off in the chat in the
donos from here. I'm back. Oh, never mind. Just
have to wait. The software, honestly, from our
Riverside days, the scars still are healing.
This is good. Stream Nodes is good. If I duck
out for technical issues, it keeps my play. Hey,
we're still here. The stream hasn't exploded.
Because it's independent from moi. It's doing
its own thing, which is good. Gnomeus again.
Toi. Toi donations. Didn't the fire hawks disappear
in the warp, possibly joining the Legion of the
Damned? Yeah, they're the theoretical, maybe
are the Legion of the Damned. Who knows? Most
likely Candida, I would say. Probably, but who
knows. And also, it might be that Ferris Manus'
Betrayed Iron Hand started the Legions of the
Damned, and these guys were supplemented into
it, and it's more like a halfway house to be
like, hey, do you want to keep going? Do you
want to stay in the lobby? I want to stay in
the lobby. Okay, buddy. You can fight with us.
You can join our clan. Cool. Thanks, mate. We'll
go to bed for a few hours. Another one for Gnomeus.
Thank you very much. Eli, I like you very much,
but Huron got what he deserved. He wasn't a nice
guy. He wasn't a nice guy, but he was right.
He called himself the Tyrant of Badab before
the war started. That's so cool. I mean, it does
go hard, but it does not speak to his moral character.
He's a bit of a sleazy guy. Also, Eli, I'm going
to have to apologize to you. The idea of let's
start a crusade into the Maelstrom is, you know,
it's an interesting idea. It's one of the ideas.
To be fair, he was goaded by the Black Templars
because he went in with the Black Templars with
a crusade fleet, and they did really well. They
were like, we've never had so many games. ever
and then the black temple is like okay bye i
don't know over here now i guess but it's it's
still it hits me as like when i think was it
nero or true the emperor who declared war on
the ocean of ancient rome it's like well you
can't really shoot the warp storm i'm very sorry
you can shoot things that live in it but you
know that you can't shoot the storm Is Huron
like that girl from Cathay who's like, I'm in
charge of the fleet. Oh, Yunyun. Cathay's greatest
girl failure. Is Yunyun Huron, but in fantasy?
I don't know, because Huron wasn't given permission.
Yunyun keeps getting permission, and every time
she does, 10 million Cathayans drown. We must
drown more Cathayans. Fetch the idiot dragon.
big one here this one's for you eli no box they
even ten dollars f you eli those stupid dogs
killed one grandmaster by a dishonorable backstab
then the emperor's final gift effed up the fang
drago could solo a dozen chaos gods i love the
great knights rah I love the Grey Knights too,
Nova Box. I'm on your side. Well, I love the
Space Wolves and I love the Grey Knights. Also,
he didn't do a backstab. He did a front stab.
He just ran at him so quick. He anime chopped
him in half. Just so stupid, man. And to be fair,
the Grandmaster, while being able to see him
in clear view... Didn't react quick enough. Sounds
a bit like a skill issue to me. Gotta be honest.
Like Logan Grimnard, Naruto running at you and
you don't pull up your hands. Like what's going
on, mate? Really? Thank you for that $10. No
box. Thank you. Kaiju with the 199. Thank you.
They got ADB locked in the basement like Vendrick.
Huge Dark Souls 2 mention. I don't get the reference.
I haven't played the game. He's the king of Drangleic.
He's a good boy, but he tries his best. He tries
his best and he married a gold digger and that's
the problem. That's technically inaccurate. Vendrick
was like, I'm a high value man. Why do I keep
losing? I kill so many giants. Oh, Andy. What
the fuck? Andy, you wouldn't have happened to
conceive a child with a woman named Shannon in
2005, then leaves the child Christmas 2020 -10,
asking for a friend. I would have been 15, I
doubt it. I would have still been on Guernsey.
Is she from Guernsey? Also, I don't think I've
ever had intimate relations with a person called
Shannon. Also, probably not. Unless I went through
a fugue state and it was like... some kind of
horror movie where I don't have any recollection,
I'm going to say an emphatic no. I'm not buying
it. Thank you for the $5. Thank you. Thank you
for the $5 again. Shout out to Noam Chomsky.
He's donated quite a lot today. Thank you. Grey
Knights got agreed by Space Wolves. Does that
mean agroed? I imagine. They have put them where
they belong. Wow. What if we just like both factions,
guys? I think they're all really cool. Alpha
Bones put out a video today, I think it was.
I put the Borbo comment on there. Unbelievable
comment, man. Unbelievable video, man. I didn't
watch it. I'm just assuming. I'm not even going
to watch it. Borbo. Borbo. Yeah, you got the
comments for us, Colin? What's the news? He did
put one more to your European dollars. or F me
typo. Thank you. Thank you for correcting that
with another donut. Thank you all for the donations.
You make lower crimes possible. I do. Seriously
appreciate it. It is very much appreciated. Thank
you. I do also have two weeks ago's question
of the week. The first one is Carrie Ridgeway
8021. Hashtag wholesome. This was, you know,
I get some nice wholesome moments from Warhammer,
right? Yeah. For me, it was a moment that was
both sad and wholesome in one of the Kane books,
where his student is mortally wounded in the
governor's mansion, and Kane gives him his crimson
sash, saying he earned that. If I remember correctly,
it might be even worse, because I think he was
mind -controlled, and he was only briefly out
of it because he was standing next to Jürgen
in his blank. So he was in front of a firing
line, and Kane gave him that sash before he was
executed. Very sad, but very wholesome. Minus
the execution bit. The next one is Jij29, I believe
I said that. J -I -J. Hashtag wholesome. Maugenra
pulling craft world out. And Asterman working
a soup kitchen in a hive city. That was just
straight up. Asterman just had a soup kitchen.
I've tried to think of any possible ways that
could have been like not just him being nice
and the worst possible way I could think of framing
that sequence of events was it got him in with
the Hive City so he could help fight the Tyranid
Hive Fleet that showed up at the end of the book
it was so selfish that he did a nice thing in
order to do another nice thing that is the rudest
way I can think to frame it oh is morality just
about self -interest is morality just a way for
people to benefit it's like oh now you're getting
into semantics now asserman look i i ain't seeing
corvus corax ladle and soup for people i'm just
saying asserman was doing it No, Korvax is too
busy being racist towards his Terran kids. Be
like, you from Terra? Get the hell out of here!
Get out of here! Fictional racism is cool and
based. All people from Terra are murderers, said
Korvax. That's right. No, no, no. Ten million
more Pelinal White Strakes upon the Alt -American
Union. Yeah! And for our last one, DeRosa Doodles.
Vlad and Isabella's relationship in Warhammer
Fantasy. It's great to see a man in Warhammer
drink his Respect Women juice. That's a sick
2017 meme, but thanks for bringing it back. They
are just a nice, loving couple. That's it. Even
when Vlad goes insane, he doesn't do it against
Isabella. He goes insane against everyone but
Isabella. Sorry I murdered 10 ,000 people, honey.
My bad. It's okay, sweetie. So if I remember
correctly, Eli, did you have an idea for the
new question of the week? I also have one as
well. I had a mean one. I think Colin has a real
one. Mine was if you had to pick a fictional
navy to be a captain in, who are you picking?
How fictional? What do you mean by that? To reference
the title of the video, if it's like the Navy
from the music video, does that count? No, it's
like... Like an established IP. Yeah, you can
be like... We'll go Admiral. You can be like
an Admiral of the Imperial Navy or the UNSC or
I don't know, just Gears of War. Do they have
a Navy? Is this question too hard to answer?
Are there enough Navy? We know about... There's
more. There's Ender's Game. There's Star Wars.
There's a bunch of different Star Wars. Mass
Effect. Mass Effect. Mass Effect. There's a whole
lot of different fictional... You can even pick...
Dude, if you want, ball out and pick your Stellaris
campaigns, maybe. And explain why you would like
to be part of... I don't know, whatever monstrosity
you're making in Stellaris at this moment. I
know those things get a lot more creative with
the war crimes than even 40k does. So I see you
in the comments going Star Trek. Star Trek's
not a navy, technically. It's more like science.
They don't have a navy. It's cheating. That's
cheating. You can't play Star Trek. They're hippies.
We can't have guns. We need to have phasers.
That doesn't count. You need to have aggression
in your blood. Like what they called Worf. What's
he called? Is he a Vulcan? A Vulcan. I got Warhammer
brain. You can do all sorts. You can pick all
sorts of different navies. Klingon Empire. I
like to eat worms. Yum, yum. What is the hashtag?
Hashtag in the navy. It's right there. There
we go. There we go. Fantastic. In the navy. Are
you happy with that, Eli? Yeah. There we go.
Fantastic. Andy, why have you not shown my funny
reading guide? Come on. Come on. It's going on
in post. Calm down. You gotta check out my lit
Space Marine 2 gameplay that's on every week.
What are you talking about? We could have live
gameplay of Eli poorly playing Hearts of Iron.
It could be right there. Bro, please. Don't.
No. Eli next week being like, hey, this video
is sponsored by World of Tonks, and look at this
Space Marine Tonk. Wow, Lehman Russ is cool.
No. But with that said, fellas, what's your opinion
of the Navy? Do you like being in the Navy? I
think I like the reading about that. I think
you did a very good job talking about the Navy.
Hell yeah. I don't think I would personally like
to be a part of the Imperial Navy, if only because
purely statistically, right? Gotta be like a
90 % chance already I'm being one of the, like
the... barely like like the human clans that
live in like the lower levels of the ship just
by pure numbers it's the odds are stacked against
me but you know if i guess i could be like you
know someone on the bridge that wouldn't be too
bad well to be fair it seems like i might be
you can disapprove this but it feels like to
to me the navy might be like one of the best
standards of living in the imperium which is
not saying much but it's like hey you can like
if you're an armsman which is basically just
you're not an officer you're just some guy with
a gun you get your free square meals you get
shelter you get pay you get shore leave that's
better than most of the imperium if i can get
like if i can be like have a rank in the imperial
navy it wouldn't be too bad but like Playing
Rogue Trader, one of the things is you can go
into the underbelly of the ship and it's just
like there's a whole lot of people packed like
sardines that are just hanging around down there.
But also, let's not forget that Abelard is a
Navy veteran. He made his name in the Navy. If
I could get a rank, then yeah, I'd probably do
it if I had to be in 40k. There's definitely
way worse jobs. If I'm just one of the scum and
the bottom of the ship, then I would like to
pass. It'd be cool to be an arms man or something.
The odds that you're going to get boarded by
anything that terrible is pretty low, generally.
Most of the time, yeah, they just kind of patrol
for pirates. Although, I've got to be honest,
I think if I was going to be any character in
40k, I'd love to be a breacher. I love Breachers.
There's something about Breachers. I love them.
They've got bronze armor. They've got cool helmets.
The dream would be to be the captain of a ship.
No, I want to be like, I'm going in the Genestealer's
heart. Why not? I want to be a rogue trader.
Well, yeah. Rogue traders sound cool. I want
to be a Breacher. I want to be like, give him
a shield, bro. I want to be a Tau aircraft. I
want to be a Tau Admiral. I want to be a spindly
-hooved Xenos cowfish. Eli wants to be a cowfish.
Cowplains are so cool, man. Taufish. Clomp, clomp,
said Eli. We love you. But yeah, that. Oh, God.
I've got to put this up. Yes, he does. No, that's
naughty. Remember. But yes, I hope you guys all
enjoyed this episode. Bit of a shorter one than
usual, but it was good fun. Maybe we'll do the
Imperialis Aeronautica at some point. Though
that is going to be probably a short one. Because
it's just planes, isn't it? I can find a way
to make it artistic and long. I don't think Navy
doesn't have much lore. Enjoy just the planes.
We should have Hal back next week, but Colin
will be away. We trade one villain for another.
But fun fact. Two weeks time. Don't miss it.
We've got a special guest two weeks time. Miss
it, you'll be a silly billy. We're going to eat
the CEO of Games Workshop live on Twitter. We
will gain his powers. We are erecting a crucifixion.
We have nails and petrol. No, there is a cool
guest in a couple of weeks. This time next week.
Next two weeks. So be aware. But other than that,
I hope you guys all enjoyed watching this silly
-billy, sweary stream, and we'll catch you next
time. Bye -bye. I love you. Bye, everyone. Bye.
