Hello, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls.
It is us. It is Law Crimes. How are you all doing
today? We would like to say they will be a Blood
Angels. Again, probably one of the most like
fantastic law greatest agents. And he's already
got his blood wine out. Exclusive for the live
episodes now on the black red label. So like
that's pretty. That's pretty apt. I need to rapidly
fill my liquor supply in my new house. It's quite
sad right now. That statement was sad, but okay.
You know what? I know what I'm about. Before
anyone asks, yes, we have seen the new Dawn of
War stuff with the Dark Angels. we are aware.
Unfortunately. That's the big thing. It doesn't
matter. We're talking about exciting things today
because we are talking about different angels.
Yes, we're talking about one of perhaps the most
popular legions and chapters in the entire Warhammer
setting. Overrated. Not what? It is not overrated
because we're excited to talk about it. That's
a hater of anything to do with humans. No. I
quite like the Ultramarine. Oh, of course he
does. I mean, yeah, we'll get... I mean, before
we do that, we do have a... Actually, no, we'll
get straight into it. I'll do an order of business.
Congratulations for Colin, who's moved into his
new place last few weeks, and so he's, you know,
he's getting his life sorted out. There is...
Look, I know that the closet's open, but most
of that is actually... I mean, it's a closet,
so... But look, the shelf, it has stuff on it.
There's a little Warhammer thing. I got a fancy
globe in the office. For the second shelf, I
still need to build. For the edited audio listeners,
Colin has no longer got a cup chair behind him,
and it is now just a shelf. It is simply a shelf.
He's a grown man. But speaking about things that
make grown men cry, my beloved Sanguinius, my
blood angels, the glorious, the Ninth Legion,
what they were once known as, but I guess we
can... delve, well, basically we're going to
get straight into it, but before we learn things
that not everybody did necessarily know about
the Blood Angels, because they are pretty popular,
we need to start with the basics for the uninitiated.
I might ask, because he hates talking about humans
so much, I might ask Eli to explain the genesis
of this, which is who is Sanguinius? Yeah, I'll
nominate the guy who's least excited to do it.
Well, first of all, I'm realizing with the vertical
and horizontal streams, it separates it into
two different chats. So on my phone here, I can
only see the vertical stream chat. But if I go
to my PC, I can see the horizontal chat. And
he's got both. And he's got both. He's in control.
I'm just pleased about that. It's okay. He has
to watch both. He has to watch both. I mean,
we all have everyone in the same chat together,
right? You can't see the live chat in our stream
yards. I don't know. Let us know in chat if you
guys care. Maybe no one cares about me. Anyways,
freaking Sanguinius, second prettiest Primarch.
Let's get that out of the way first. No, he's
right. He's just, he is the prettiest when it's
all natural. Maybe he's behind Jagatai. Okay.
Maybe no one's accused of that. Look, Jagged
Eye's handsome. He's not pretty. From a certain
angle. He's pretty good. I should say, Sanguinius
is beautiful, though. He's a beautiful, angelic
being. Twink. I've read... Seriously, I've read
like 20 or more Horus Heresy books, and not a
single one of them is Blood Angels. That's how
little Blood Angels books are in the Horus Heresy.
You have to get quite far. They're heavy loaded
towards the end. Their shining moment is at the
end. Their whole plot is they are sent very far
away from the heresy's bounce pad. Where everything
happens, they're sent intentionally very far
away alongside the Dark Angels and Ultramarines.
We don't want them involved as long as possible.
Send them really far away. We should say for
the people who may be... this will be part so
it's not everyone knows if i correct me if i'm
wrong andy the original ninth legion though they
weren't called the blood angels they had a different
name which is before they even met their prime
mark which was is it revenant legion or revenue
legion yeah yeah i don't know why i do like that
name i do prefer it but this was because um They
were kind of crazy. They had not been tempered
by the influence of what would be their Primarch
later. But they essentially started off as this
bloodthirsty, literally terrifying, butchering
horde. And they were tempered when their Primarch
Sanguinius was eventually found. And he himself
experiences maybe a hint of rage, a hint of anger
at times. thank goodness would teach them many
great things which is to create artifacts beauty
you know engage with arts you know create things
that last for a lifetime and it was to channel
this darkness into something better and then
this will go on to form them as the blood angels
which are again their imagery is very much i
guess is it latin you say colonists by like latin
angelic like catholic Eli did make a very good
point in chat. I was going to talk about Sanguinis,
but then got interrupted. He just said, oh, he's
pretty. There's more to come. Eli's a hater,
so it's fine. I don't hate Sanguinis. I just
don't think he's as pretty as Walgrim. He has
hacks. No, but Sanguinis is a very... kind being
uh as much as he literally has angel wings on
his back he is a symbol that many the imperium
would then go on to worship when they turn into
the 41st millennium but sanguinis and its legion
pretty much develop a good reputation throughout
what would be the early great crusade era this
is stuff like that's mostly well known and then
the part again like summing up very shortly they
were obviously betrayed in the horus heresy they
sided with the imperium they stayed loyal And
eventually, as is what is even old law before
the Horus heresy was flashed out, Sanguinius
would fall at the hands of Horus Lupercal. Pretty
brutally, I may say, if there's a part maybe
not everyone knows, is like there's some lore
about like old lore where Sanguinius supposedly
weakened the emperor of Horus's armor. Whereas
in the actual Horus heresy, Horus just like beats
him to death. and it's pretty brutal but sanguineous
does give his life for the imperium and he knows
it's coming but he chooses to defy his fate even
though it does happen very sad and forever when
this happens the blood angels i don't know if
i want to spoil it yet maybe because andy's bringing
it up later but something goes wrong with the
blood angels uh after the funny enough the death
of their primarch and forever on the legion which
would then be split into chapters uh after the
horus heresy they would be primark less leaderless
and knowing that their prime mark is dead they'll
be dealing with curses and but yet they still
prevail to do honor glory for the imperium and
to be noble warriors defenders in their gleaming
red armor obviously being split into many chapters
though uh a diversity of uh thoughts and opinions
would be uh developed over 10 000 years but the
blood angels to the modern 41st millennium are
essentially i mean there's no other way to say
it they are like vampire noble vampire inspired
like a little angels of death edward sparkly
ones yeah and again with like the lot of i mean
if i say angels not like biblically accurate
angels with like the big eye and then like six
wings which is kind of terrifying uh we're thinking
more like literal you know depicted in a lot
of like catholic or early christian art of like
you know angels with wings and they're very you
know they're beautiful sculpted men their gene
seed literally turns them into beautiful men
which is hilarious because like they're quite
ugly as humans and then they get turned yeah
not great it's like free um free ozempic you
get handsome squidwardified Yeah, a little bit.
You get real -life Instagram filters just plastered
on your face, like, cool. They're all mewing.
It's really annoying. But the Blood Angels, to
this day, they are, as it currently is in the
time of the Fourth of the Millennium, they are
a chapter of a thousand Astartes that still live
within the home region of Baal, which has three
entities. They have Baal Primus, the huge planet,
Baal Secundus, where their fortress world is.
It's Baal Prime, isn't it? Because it's confusing.
Baal Prime, yes. Baal Prime is the world, and
then Primus is the... And so I get people always
say, actually, don't you know this? No, it's
called Baal Prime. It's not Primus. It's not
Primus -y. It's Prime. Yeah. And then they have...
Yeah, most of their homeworld's fortress, monastery
and stuff is based on Baal Secundus, which is
the moon, which is where a lot of characters
are actually from. But they have another third
moon, I think. Some people call it Balfoura.
Other ones nickname it. I can't remember off
the top of my head. But essentially, most of
the people who live in this irradiated wasteland
of Baal are recruited into the Blood Angels.
They go on to serve in the Imperium. And much
to this day, that's kind of the overall genesis
of the Legion. Obviously, there's much more to
fill in the gaps. But unless I miss anything
particularly, it's just like really important
basics. I had a question just off the top of
my head I can't remember. Was it like during
the Age of Strife it got turbo -nuked or does
the planet just suck like that? It's briefly
mentioned in the Devastation of Baal book. The
Knights of Blood chapter master talks to Gabriel
Seth about, oh, during Old Night, Primus and
Baal Secundus, the two moons, they were obviously
now separated from the rest of the galaxy so
they started to get into tribalism and it's like...
One had a larger population, but one had better
technology. So they started nuking each other.
And then it was like, oh, what have we done?
And Bald Primus itself, if I'm not mistaken,
is so bad. The only place you can really live
on Bald Primus is the Arx Angelicum, the Fortress
Monastery. Because everywhere else is just sand,
scorpions the size of a house. It sucks. And
the water that kills you. Oh, and first water,
there's actually an organism that, it looks like
water, but when you drink it, it dehydrates you
until you're like a shriveled prune. And they
even use that during the Devastation of Baal,
they use a moat, and they surround the fortress
with first water. And they start drowning in
it, and they're like, throw in a million more,
it's fine. And part of that, most people might
not know, is that the... for the modern what
they call the bar lights who live in the system
the people who they leave them as tribesmen from
the uh makes them quite tough but the interesting
part is like there are parts like buried in like
the red sands of like each of the planets there's
different like what was clearly uh like the remnants
of what was like a large scale either like a
platform or like sort of spaceship or something
really like an orbital ring possibly was around
bar at one point and it was when it was destroyed
in their civil war no it's not halo it's not
the halo ring but um when it was destroyed in
their civil war it crash landed onto the various
planets and you can still like when they dig
up parts of bar they can still find like remnants
of this and it's yeah often uh like deep again
like they talk about it in their myths as like
that the stars fell from the heavens and obviously
it wasn't a star it was a person yeah someone
who lived there They blow up all the orbital
defense stations when they had that big civil
war. And then it's like, when they're defending
Baal from the Tyranids, they're like, Dante's
like, we've got all these space rings. We've
got like 20 chapters here. Let's just dig up
what we can find. And they're like, oh, that's
useful. There's like a whole castle over here.
Like, what? Yeah, found it. It's right here.
Should we like fortify this? I guess. Why not?
It's right here. Okay. Lots of buried treasures
amongst Baal. But essentially that's kind of,
that's for the opening campaign. That's kind
of more of the basics. and he's gonna explain
on to parts that maybe not everybody also more
in depth than parts maybe not everybody knew
so i guess we should start with 30k because that
makes sense so like kind of kind of briefly talking
about unification uh originally the blood angels
were possibly going to be the first legion to
get purged from the imperium because they were
just like eating people and there were tales
of like hulking giants taking children away and
then that dead a night and just drinking all
their blood and all the mums crying. It's like
the opening to not Spaceballs, oh my god, what's
the opening of Space King? Lord Angel's the flamethrower!
The kids love this one. They've gone plaid. I
don't remember what book it's from, though, but
what is it, like, Sanguinius calls Angron's little
expeditionary fleet a carnival of monsters, and
I'm like, I don't think you have stones to throw
right now, sir. Yeah, and one of the things that
they're very much wrestling with is at this time
they have a genetic flaw, which is the red first,
which makes them, they don't lose their sanity
completely, but they go into kind of fits of
angry rampages. They're like pre -World Eater,
World Eaters, but worse, where it's like they
can only stave it off by drinking blood or it's
a real like big suffering. And thankfully, they
found a fella called Sanguinius, who was their
gene dada. And he was like, you should learn
to draw. And so they did that instead. And that
helped temper their emotions. But Eli, I know
you only basically said like, oh, he's pretty.
Is there anything else you'd like to mention
about Sanguinius and what he was like? Yeah,
give him a compliment. Not anymore. I don't even
need to be here, I guess. Like, it's OK. I can
just leave. No. Don't be like that. Don't be
like that. i don't even know that much sanguineous
lore i just i just feel neglected i just feel
neglected oh we need to give him a big hug uh
i don't know i've made like one sanguineous video
on my shorts channel out of 2000 videos and it
was like five years ago uh but he's pretty he's
pretty angel baby i like you know what you know
i like i don't even know that much about him
I don't even know that much about him. He's pretty.
He fought a bloodthirster. He got killed by Horace.
He tried to be friends with Horace. They were
supposed to be buddies, and Horace kind of betrayed
him. As for the early life Wikipedia section,
I'm not sure much about it. I'm not actually
that salty. I could have talked about the Blood
Angels in general. I would have been much better
at that. I have no Blood Angels videos for a
reason. but i will someday someday i'll read
their books i don't know xenos are cooler sorry
40 40k blood angels are much cooler to me than
30k blood angels well they they do have the trouble
in the horror series again like like i said they're
put very far away and their whole plot for like
the first time they're introduced is oh we're
gonna pit you against like cabanda and all the
demons of corn and be like come on have a little
chaos have a little chaos it's yummy and they're
like no um and there's like bits where horus
is the only primarch who knows about the red
first and and there's bits where occasionally
like ralderon or our ascalon who's the guy in
charge of the sanguinary guard he'll be like
and then he's like and then he'll just disappear
and just be like grab one of his sons by the
like with a garage and be like go to sleep go
to sleep go to sleep and he has a like it's okay
son it's okay i I have been dipping into 40K
Blood Angels lore now that I have some models
for them for like some 6th edition stuff. I like
their characters a lot. I think they're the drippiest
of all the chapters. They're very cool looking.
They're up there with Black Templars and Dark
Angels for aesthetics. Well, one of the reasons
we got this Sanguinary Guard fellow I'm playing
as who's gold is that they are the arts. They're
like the theater kids of the Astartes. They're
like, we like painting. We make... like cool
bits of armor and we we like to draw things and
that's how they they keep their rage and intact
because when that rage is unshackled they're
pretty messed up and um and this is is is taken
advantage by with corn during the horus heresy
where they're on this planet called cygnus prime
they get there it's eerie it's full of like dead
things there's like i believe there's bits where
they go into space and there's just like chaos
icons made of like the combined skin of loads
of killed enemies. They've just smushed all the
bodies together and be like, let's make it into
an eight -pointed star, like a balloon animal.
And they're like, that's weird. There's some
really cool set pieces in Horus Heresy. It is
related to the blood names, I swear, but at one
point they do encounter an entire graveyard of
ships, but they're all made of bone. I mean,
like, it's as far as the eye can see. And it's
considered, like, every ship that's ever, like,
died because of chaos is basically recreated.
So ancient ships of, you know, not just legionaries
and humans, but, like, alien ships. It's just,
like, crazy massive wall of it. So the Horus
Heresy is some really weird thing that the Blood
Angels have to encounter. Yeah. And they're like,
this is not a good place to be. They're like
that scene in Event Horizon where they see the...
They're like the death war G and they press the,
and then Lawrence, we don't need eyes to see.
Yeah. We're leaving. I just watched, I just watched
that video like last week. I know. Did you know
that the ship is based off Notre Dame cathedral
and it's on the points and the ship is where
the pulpit is. Anyway, I sent you a video about
that, but there's this whole thing that they're
on Cygnus prime and they're, they're being taken
advantage of by. It's kind of like the Red First
is a bit of like a warp anomaly, perhaps. Maybe
it was Khorne who put it there in the first place.
It's kind of up to interpretation. So most of
the chapter goes crazy balls. And First Captain
Rauderon's okay because he's like, unfortunately,
he doesn't really have any lore, even though
he's in several books and he's in the Siege of
Terror. He's just stoic Captain Man. Is this
the guy with the model? Is this the jetpack guy?
This is the one who's got like the most... Zephon,
yeah, Dominion Zephon. He's the one who got...
very badly wounded. A lot of angels have two
or three horse heresy models. They've got Nasir
Amit, they've got Rauderon, they've got Zephon,
they've got... The guy with the mask, I can't
remember his name. They've got a bunch, but it's
like most of them are side characters who just
have one tidbit. And Rauderon, even though he's
in a bajillion books in the heresy, doesn't do
anything apart from be stoic and is there. But
he's alright. He doesn't go mental balls. There's
also an apothecary called Meros, who we'll mention
later. He's just like an apothecary. And he actually,
at the end of the Cygnus Prime campaign, Chaos
offers Sanguinius a bit of a bargain. They're
like, hey, your sons are suffering. Kind of like
what happened with Magnus, but corny. And they're
like, hey, if you just give in, I'll take away
their pain. I'll take away their suffering. Sacrifice
your life to me. Be my pawn. and I will let your
legion live. And Sanguin is like, okay, sure.
And then Morosco is like, no, that's cringe.
And he jumps in the way, and he merges with the
Ragefire, which was created by Erebus. And his
body is inhabited by a red angel demon. Not to
be confused with Angron as the red angel. It's
one of those Games Workshop naming things where
it's two things with the same exact name. But
you've probably seen that artwork where... There's
like Horus and all the traitors on the vengeful
spirit. And there's a guy on fire. He's like,
oh, that's Meros. And he's inhabited by the demon.
It's like, oh, I ate his soul. It was nummy.
And Sanguinius is like, I'm going to get you,
bitch. Other than that, they're in Imperium Nihilus,
Imperium Secundus. They make their way to Holy
Terror. They're there during the Siege of Terror.
Sanguinius fights Cabanda and Angron and Horus.
So he's been through a lot in that campaign.
One after the other. A small detail that everyone
might not know is that in, like, as we said,
it's well -known lore that Sanguinius is sort
of fated to die at Horus's hands. It's a vision
he sees long before even the Horus heresy happens.
He goes like, oh, that's weird. But I think a
part maybe Colin and Eli might hate, which is
the fact that basically Sanguinius was always
going to die because he fights the demon Cabanda,
the bloodthirster Cabanda. wins. He ends up fighting
Angron. He tears Angron's butcher's nails out
of his head and he wins. But the wounds dealt
to Sanguinius by Angron, even the Emperor senses
actually they're fatal. So Sanguinius is, when
he goes to board the Vengeful Spirit to meet
his destined death against Horus, he kind of
knows he's going to die anyway at some point.
His wounds are not healing. he's randy from staff
park who's just like i don't hear no bell and
he's just like yeah he walks up to horace as
like a basically dead guy and just oh no he gives
it his all like no because when he when um in
the part where he does fight horace he like because
like the fact that he actually has wings is actually
a massive advantage so he horace is like lumbering
and like in in thrall with like you know swelling
with the power of chaos but he's slow I mean,
I'm not going to lie. He's throbbing with the
power gears. Horus is slow. So Sanguinis is using
the fact that he has wings, like swooping, doing
diving attacks. He knows he's not going to make
it anyway. So he's giving it all he's got. And
then at one point, Horus goes, I was just toying
with you to lure in the Emperor. And now the
Emperor's coming. I've got no time for this.
Because he keeps trying to... The part that,
again, because not everyone gets this point necessarily
in the Horus heresy. Horus basically wants...
sanguineus to join him even still because he's
kind of mad he's gone a bit like his brain does
he he doesn't he keeps talking to people who
are dead so horace is just gone mad with chaos.
Well, that and all the Primarchs he had were
the shitter ones. Yeah, that's true. And then,
yeah, so not everybody knows, like, you haven't
got that part in the heresy. Not everyone knows
that Horus was still trying to convince Sanguinius
to, like, join him. And when he sensed the Emperor
was coming, he's like, I'm sorry, I don't have
time anymore. And he just grabs Sanguinius and
just starts beating him. And then Sanguinius,
like, his body is utterly broken. Like, his wing
has been torn off. His, like, limb is... It's
basically a Mortal Kombat fatality, but all of
them combined. Yeah, and then he still stands
somehow, and then Horus kills him. And then,
unfortunately, the part that people may not like
to know, which is he's basically crucified. He's
hung up, strung up by demons behind Horus's throne.
So that's what happens to Sanguinius, his fate,
and Sanguinius dies. And then Emperor says that
infamous line, look how they massacred my boy.
And then he cries. But before we say, I don't
want to say like, and then this would give the
death psychic scream of like sanguineous as death
gives way to the black rage. And I guess we'll
leave it at that for a moment. Well, barely related
nonsense. I'll go for it. Yeah. Has anyone, has
anyone checked their YouTube like recap thing?
Yeah. Who does that? Out of curiosity. I want
to know what it's doing. Yeah. I got the most
apocalyptic one I could have ever received because
the soundtrack started with a JoJo edit, transitioned
into a Miku song, and then it was like, yeah,
the most watched content you did was Dead by
Daylight content. I'm like, yeah, I got to kill
myself. I've got a problem. It gives you like
a Wojak name as well. Yeah. We saw that, like
a Wojak type. The song edit was called Crucified,
which is why this came up. It pinged my brain.
Does anyone notice that Dagoth Earth kind of
looks like Dante with the mask? Anyway, before
we go any further, should we go through some
donations? We got about 20. Thank you very much.

Basically in 442, thinking for the $5. The Miku
plushie in the cuck closet. Yeah, can we see?
Is there a Miku plushie back there? Yeah, there
is. Sure. I'll go find it. You see, that's not
what goes in the jar. What goes in the jar is
the Terraria's Riad figurine. Yeah, that's the
true love. That's the true love. Not the damage,
y 'all. Nah, she's going in the gunk jar. Is
there big enough jar to contain her? What other
horrors will the closet hide? I guess we'll have
to find out. It doesn't really have any horrors.
It's got, like, cables. It's got Master Chief
next to Miku and a Warhammer thing. Is that a
neon sign for the Warhammer? Is that light lit
up? No, it doesn't light up, but it's just like
that. Reminds me of the Reddit horror story where
the girlfriend found under her boyfriend's bed
a jar full of all of his toenail clippings. He
can't do it. Can't talk about it. It's still
only second to mom finding the piss drawer. Incoming

would possibly do that, but I'd be happy if that's
true. It's a terrible book. Can we retcon Battle

Thank you. Knox 9086 for five. My Spotify rap
says that I'm in the top three percent of your
listeners. Anyway, here's my first donation.
Thank you very much. Thanks, man. I like the
pumpkin PFP with the tie. We are indeed on Spotify.
Mm hmm. Oh my god, it's getting closer. And I'll
wear a green hat in one week. Two euros. It's
one week. YouTube's buggy again. Sanguineous
number one husband -o. So it's next week. Okay,
next week I'll wear a green hat. Cool. No worries.
What? Donkey Man USA with the two bucks. They
put D 'Amico in the magic jeep. None of you seen
that? No one knows what he's referencing? It's
just like, it's some stupid clip. I mean, it's
just like an old Halo 2 commercial, maybe Halo
3, where it's like Mountain Dew cross -promoting.
But it's just this dude voicing it over and going
like, Yeah, it can't be any worse than, what's
his name, from Parks and Recs doing that whole...
Was it Halo 5 trailer where he's like the scribbly
chief? And they're like, won't loot boxes affect
the bonus? Shut your chilly hole, Nick. Shut
up, you. It's bad. Can we please get celebrities
out of the trailers for games? I don't like that
crossover. The ones that we can have are like
the ones that aren't just for celebrity voice
budget, you know? Yeah. Keith or Sutherland in
Metal Gear Solid 5. What a waste. What a waste.
Keith David? Good. Keith or Sutherland. I don't
know about that one. Isn't there, like, a video
of him just, like, randomly, like, tackling a
Christmas tree in a hotel? Well, like, maybe.
That's what I remember. If your product has J
.K. Simmons in it, I'm hyped because he's good
at what he does, but he's a deserved celebrity
role. Thank you, Mark! Thank you! At Marvin V
for two pounds. The king's pounds. Oh my god,
I saw the queen. I will not forget, Colin, for
the worm prostate exam. No, that is not what
I said. Remember. That is not what I said. It
was not an exam. Wow. It was very funny, though.
Very funny. My life is a weird one. Biggest squig
in 4482. Master Chief inside Miku? Crazy ship.
Crazy indeed. And the last one for now. Who'd
like this last one for now? Your cervix, a .k
.a. Chris Topher. Thank you for the $2. Colin,
is your hair migrating south for the winter?
Is that the compliment of the beard? Yeah, is
that a compliment or an insult? I can't tell.
I'm assuming an insult given you all. And one
last one from Neon LF Graves for five. Can you
bring Crono the Harlequin as a guest for the
review of Legion on LaunchCast? Can't do that,
I'm afraid. We've already done it. Me and Eli.
I hate to say this, guys. We're actually, in
terms of recording, we're quite far into it.
Episode 12 or something. It's going quite well.
I'd like to just really quickly shout out the
man who said, Taco of Terror. Colin looks like
he lives in the mountains. This is like the second
time. I got that, and then I got someone the
other day who just asked me, do you ever not
look like white trash? Wow. Unbelievably rude.
I still get Mr. Beast. Yeah, but you do look
like Mr. Beast. He looks like me. I'm older than
him. You are older than him, I think. You didn't
get called white trash, at least. I think Mr.
Beast is like 27. Yeah. I still will not forgive
him for when I left my flat in Wembley and there
was just a big banner of him with that dead -eyed
smile trying to sell me lunch balls. I'm like,
get away from me. But yeah, so we talked about
Horus Heresy stuff. I guess we should now cover
a little bit about 40k. 40k, they are like, Blood
Angels are like one of the best Space Marine
chapters because they have a few things going
for them. One, they've got gold armor, which
is pretty cool. Two, one of the guys... yeah
um and also captains like taiko had gold armor
as well um but they they also have commander
dante who is supposedly the oldest space marine
who's not in a dreadnought which i will cover
later as not being true um but he is like one
of the oldest he's like a thousand years old
he's a millennium years old man seems some he's
like every day he wakes up and he's like i just
want to die like oh dante you poor man um a weird
discrepancy with dante everything he's depicted
in he's got like gray hair but in the book he's
got jet black hair what's going on with that
i think because they think he's an old man in
like because i think features aren't they because
i think canonically the space wolves are the
only ones who are allowed to have gray hair but
then you've got lysander from the imperial fist
who also has gray hair like this this doesn't
work this too no it doesn't work i i know the
raw reason for this which is um that supposedly,
because when they were... Obviously, Genesee
comes from Primarchs, the seed from the daddy,
as they say. I hated that. You choose to say
these things. Yeah, I know, I know. My life is
a waste. I'm breathing this air. I'm stealing
air from people. No, I'm joking. Pull back, pull
back. Me versus Rogue. Don't worry, we'll get
him next time. Back on point. The law reason
is because when they had the gene seed stocks,
and that's how they create space marines from
them, or they help turn people into space marines.
Essentially, it's a copy. In the 41st millennium,
it's a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy. So
despite being able to turn people into space
marines, it's not quite as pure as the stocks
they had in the... great crusade so that's why
um what you know coined first born marines or
you know before the primaris the uh astartes
basically did age at a much faster rate or they
weren't as immune to aging as something like
what would be you know a marine of chaos who's
you know straight from the 31st millennium so
That's the reason why they do age. Whereas Chaos
is degrading because it's in the warp, and that's
a bad place to put it. That's a bad place. They're
like sourdough bread. You get the yeast thing.
I can't remember what it's called, but they have
the original thing. The starter. The starter,
and then it grows, and then you pick off a bit,
and your relative goes, have some of the starter.
Okay. Sourdough, that's crazy. Sour Marines.
But it should be said, it's not... It's not always
true for every space spring though because some
of them, like in the example of the Space Wolves,
some of them can be older than Logan Grimnaw
and they don't get grey hair. It just depends
on how well someone's gene seed mixes in with
your DNA. And we also have to mention time is
really strange in Warhammer because of the warp.
There's a throwaway line in Devastation of Baal
where... the the cicatrix maledictum explodes
and it kind of smothers baal in the region of
baal and everyone's like how did like the indomitas
crusade get to baal like instantly and it's because
oh they were like they were in there a while
in like the in the real space devastation of
baal was happening for a long time even though
it was like a couple of weeks and it's like yeah
it's been months And then there's also, if you
get trapped in the warp, you can be in there
for like a thousand years. And in the real space,
it's just like, Oh, it's 10 minutes. Oh, which
we'll get onto later. Um, kind of reminds me,
uh, I don't know if legends or canon, but there's
a thing where clone troopers started being less
quality because they didn't have fresh access
to material. That's what the storm troopers didn't
they? That's slightly different. That's a more...
That's a long conversation that's unrelated.
That was just the Gen Z thing reminded me of
that specifically. The Stormtroopers replacing
them is a massive thing. Because Jango Fett was
no longer around. Yeah. Are we already done talking
about the Horus Heresy Blood Angel stuff? More
or less. It feels like we... talks about nothing
for like 30 minutes. They're in the Cygnus campaign.
They're in Imperium Secundus and then they're
at the Siege of Terra. That's all they have.
That's all they have. That's like a lot of books.
That's more than Lord of the Rings. And two of
those are sharing space with the Ultramarines
and the Dark Angels and a little bit of Space
Wolves and White Scars. And then the other one
is White Scars, Imperial Fists, Salamanders,
Imperial Guard, a little bit of Space Wolves,
a little bit of Shattered Legions. It's all over
the place. And it's like, We only get one thing.
Do they have like a dedicated book where it's
just them? Yeah, Cygnus. And that's the only
one. That's it. Huge. That's the only one. Huge.
Eat shit, Blood Angels fans. And it's a really
good book, but it's also like, it's all you get.
Iron Hand's got more than that, and theirs suck.
They're like, oh, it's all over the place. Like,
this is good, this is bad, this is dog shit.
Are the Blood Angels books any good? Oh, the
40k ones are really good. The Horus Heresy, I
mean. If you like Horus Heresy, yeah. What does
that mean? Bear in mind, Eli, if you want to
read them, that's like Siege of Terror, that's
like 10 books, and they're the end of the Horus
Heresy. And then it's like Imperium Secundus,
two books, one book. And then it's Cygnus. It's
like, okay, you've got two books. I just want
to read the one where he fights Cabunda, and
then I just want to stick to 42 Blood Angels.
Which time? He fights him twice. He fights him
once in the season, and once in Cygnus. The time
when he says, only angels can fly, because that's
cool. I think that's the first one. Yeah, Cygnus.
The second one, he's like, get the fuck out of
my hometown! To be fair, most of... Most Blood
Angels lore... was often even through the early
editions of warhammer came about uh as the in
set in the 41st millennium so this is a lot yeah
a lot of this lore was established like kind
of long before the horrors heresy even was a
thing um but yeah they in their i guess only
in their 41st millennium it's kind of like again
sanguineous has been dead for a long time he's
a mythological creature almost at this point
although more people know sanguineous as dante
he wears the death mask of like sanguinary gods
they have the The death mask of Sanguinius. And
it's like, more people know Sanguinius as Dante's
image than Sanguinius. Because Sanguinius was
around for 200 years during the Great Crusade,
Horus Heresy. Dante's 1 ,000 years old. More
people consider him to be Sanguinius. We should
say, for an interesting part, Dante himself as
a character, I think Eli and Colin might appreciate
this specifically, he's not a very hateful man.
And this is because he has learned... what many
other chapters would never even dare to do, he
has been willing on at certain times to work
alongside Xenos in sort of joint compliance,
or joint, not compliance, in joint actions, which
I think maybe Eli might be more privy to, because
I think you've done some more stuff on that recently,
haven't you? I don't know if Eli would care to
explain any of the Dante Blood Angel crossovers
with some of the characters you enjoy. Dante
is the Necron's top guy. He's the Dynasty's top
guy, it turns out. He's allied with the Silent
King and with Anrakir the Traveler. Despite the
Silent King completely deceiving him and messing
him up, he's still trusted Anrakir the Traveler
enough to ally with him. I guess times are desperate
enough. And Anrakir was a lot nicer to him than
the Silent King was. But I can explain the whole
thing, I guess, if we want. On Gehenna Prime,
which has significance for reasons that I don't
know to the Blood Angels. Do either of you know?
why Gehenna Prime is significant. I can talk
about Vampire the Masquerade lore, but I don't
think that's the right Gehenna. I don't know
if it's the same Gehenna as the World Eater Gehenna,
Andy. Gehenna Massacre. I don't know. Gehenna's
used a few times throughout Warhammer in terms
of names and stuff, but I'm not thinking of any
specific Blood Angel significance. Okay, anyways.
The Blood Angels are fighting the Necrons on
Gehenna Prime. which has a lot of hive cities
on it. Necrons make a point to talk about how
gross hive cities are. And then it turns out
the Tyranids are on their way. First of all,
the Blood Angels are having a bad time against
the Necrons. And Captain Tycho's there. Shout
out Captain Tycho. He's really cool. He's in
no books, really, other than one small one. He's
in a few bits, but yeah. He's still the coolest
character ever because it came about from narrative
tabletop fun stuff. Yeah, and he looks really
cool. His model's awesome. Anyways, they're fighting.
Necrons are coming in a war meeting with Dante
and Captain Tycho and a bunch of sergeants. I
don't know the significance of any of the sergeants,
including the one that goes with them, by the
way. But whatever. I don't know if he's that
important. The story is pulled from that sergeant's
perspective, though. A triumviratorian shows
up on screen and says, Mighty Zarek, last and
greatest of the Silent Kings. demands your presence
and would like to speak with you and says come
meet us here and dante says okay sure and taiko
taiko first of all volunteers to go by himself
and blow himself up basically but dante says
let's hear him out so they go in a rhino strapped
with a nuke basically And they hold some buttons
in their hands, which they don't open. They go
to the Silent King's crib, basically. This, like,
gigantic monolith thing, ziggurat thing. And
there's, like, a thousand trepratorians and a
bunch of nobles and the whole, like, legions
of warriors standing in this really cool scene.
And the Silent King, Mr. Zarek, shows up in the
golden mask of Sanguinius. It's actually just
as pretty as Dante's, the sergeant says. And
the Silent King says, That he's met Sanguinius
before, or at least he knows of him and he liked
him and he wanted to make an alliance with them.
And supposedly they were making an alliance together
and they had contacted each other before. I'm
sure, maybe, maybe not. And for this reason,
Dante has an inkling of trust to the Silent King.
And he says, okay, sure, we'll team up with you
to fight the Tyranids. Because the Silent King
never wanted to fight the Blood Angels in the
first place. I'm turning this into an Ekron episode.
And so they fight together, but the Silent King
actually manipulates Dante quite significantly.
He tricks the humans into fighting the Void Battle
into the Tyranids because he parks his ships
too far away from the Imperial Auspexes to see
their ships, so they think only they hold Void
superiority. So the Blood Angels lose a bunch
of ships. They then... The Necrons give the Blood
Angels the honor of defending the Hive Cities,
which actually has very little tactical benefit,
but it... causes the most casualties, so the
Blood Angels take way more casualties than the
Necrons, and then the Necrons also, like, steal
the Blood Angels' equipment from their fallen
brothers, so they, like, lose, they lose pretty
hard in this, but they do actually beat the Necrons,
and then the Sonic King just, like, runs away
and laughs, basically. And then the Tricretorian
tells Anrakir, the Traveler, about this. What
were you going to say, Andy? Well, there is also
the Anrakir, the Traveler bit in the... Are we
getting there? okay i was gonna i was gonna ask
if you're gonna bring it uh uh yeah and in the
devastation of paul uh seventh edition sorry
shield the ball you're right seventh edition
supplements and also in a novella anarchy of
the traveler meets with sergeant jay teal of
the bloody angels first which is maybe the sergeant
that goes with dante and taiko to meet something
but i'm not sure i don't know if they ever even
say his freaking name i think taiko's not even
he's not first captain he's like third or so
he's not like a big he's a big boy but he's not
the biggest boy yeah he's not um first captain
carlayan he's he's first captain but anarchy
the traveler top five necrons easy peasy uh meets
with sergeant jtl and literally says take me
to your leader He goes to meet Dante later on,
and all these monoliths descend, and Dante's
on... I don't remember the system's name or the
planets. It's been a while since I talked about
this. The cryptosystem? Yes, the cryptosystem.
Dante's on one of the planets. They're defending
this hive city or a city, whatever, and the Tyranids
are oncoming. It's looking pretty dire. Endercare
the Traveler shows up because there is the tomb
world of Calorant here. around here and also
some nephrit dynasty guy so he wants to save
the necromancer yeah i think uh the ineffable
and dante wants to save the imperium so they
team up and recur the traveler and he's nice
to him they actually work together quite well
dante fights on the walls and recur and his buddies
go underneath and fight their way up through
the uh through the system through the tears of
the hive city as our through fights in like the
clouds and the sky we lost the footage sorry
I can't believe that is me. Oh, that's just me.
Ignore me. Sorry, ignore me. Yeah, this guy,
this guy. And he sends a Tanshard of the Burning
One to go fight with the Death Company off on
a separate planet. And their whole goal is basically
to get the super weapon working. I don't quite
remember what it's called, but it's basically
something that can like farm, make a laser. I've
just done a video on this. It's like a big solar
relay. And then the Imperium's like, we use it
for energy. And the Necrons are like, that's
not what it's made for. All these plans have
to work together. And the Necrons and Imperials
work quite well together. And Rekir and Dante
fight in the same battle together, basically.
Not like side by side, but their armies are fighting
on the same fronts. It's really cool. It's really
fun. I watched my Anarchy of the Traveler video
to hear all about it. There is a bit where they're
fighting, and Dante's on the surface, Anarchy
is in the bowels, and they're being just flooded
by Genestealers. And Dante's like, we're not
going to get to the objective. And then Anarchy
is like, I have a special weapon. And he's like,
I got a Catan Shard. Like, what? He's like, yeah,
I've got Zadra Fusa, the burning one. And he
just starts going, and Dante's like, oh, shit.
And then... Go for it, go for it. The Burning
One solos a hierophant. It has been shot a little
bit, but that's a really cool scene. And then
he sends the Burning One off to go save, well,
not save, but help the Death Company reach their
final objective because one of his cryptex failed
over elsewhere and they needed to win that fight
to actually activate the weapon. There's like
a multi -front war where it's like Dante and
Anrakir are like, we're fighting to get to one
bit. And then Seth and the Flesh Terrors were
the sisters of battle. are trying to get to the,
they have like an uplink to the super weapon.
Then captain Donatus and high priest Corbulo
are on the gas giant, making sure that these
like surveyor belts are still intact. And then
it's like, I'll send the Catan shard and my crypt
tech and we'll sort it out. And then the crypt
tech fumbles the bag. But Dante was like, little
did he know, I sent an entire ship full of death
company, just in case. Good thing I did. And
so then they're like, oh, and they start running
in and killing the Tyranids. And the Sanguinal
shows up, I think. And the Sanguinal shows up.
And then, like, there's a bit where one of the
Death Company is dying. And his last dying moment,
he's like, it's my dad. I'm so happy. And then
he dies. And then, like. while the deaf company
are looking for the like controls to shoot this
because they have to blow up the sun in the system
to completely destroy the tyranids like in the
billions and then they'll use the planets as
shelter from like the rays when it blows up but
then like the qataran shard starts like charging
the super weapon bringing it back into orbit
i can't it's called the maglevarium or something
like that and oh yeah it is yep it's something
like that yeah yeah let me use the burning one
to charge this thing and yeah then they shoot
it they kill the tyrannids and they kill most
attorneys and then there's necrons like We're
just going to bounce. And Dante's like, bitches,
they always do this. And it's enough. They kill
enough Tyranids so that Baal survives the oncoming.
Well, they stole the Tyranids by a few months
by killing a few billion. Because Leviathan,
instead of doing like First Tyrannic War, you've
got Behemoth. It goes like a sledgehammer. Kraken,
it's more subterfuge. They're spread out. Leviathan
goes like a multi -pronged assault. So it's like.
tarsus ultra with uriel ventress shield worlds
of baal in the crypto system then another one
around the maelstrom to go for baal and it's
like it's all sorts of attack and it's like we
just killed like 10 billion terranids and it's
like we are not slowing them down there's another
tendril working its way around and then the devastation
of i think i mean One would say you have Anrakir
the Traveler to thank for you still having a
Blood Angels chapter. Just maybe. No, because
the Necrons woke up and they realized we can't
do this alone. We need the Blood Angels, which
sounds to me like... They both needed each other.
They both needed each other. And then Anrakir
and Dante looked at each other in the eye and
they kissed. With what lips? They figured it
out. Bringing it to a more Blood Angel focus
on the actual episode. By the time we're getting
to essentially the 41st millennium, the Blood
Angels have been like a depleted force in terms
of they've been spread out much across the galaxy.
It is a dark time. Cadia. I just talked a little
bit about the Secret of Maleditza and basically
Cadia has fallen. And I guess, Andy, there's
something which is... Did you have any Blood
Angels Civil War before that, or did you want
to do... Well, prior to Devastation of Baal,
there are a few interesting things. One of them
being, if you read the Blood Angels Omnibus,
which is really good. Is it by James Swallows
again? It is by James Swallows. How did you guess?
How did you know? And it's really good. POV character
is Rath and the Ready. He's just like a Blood
Angels Sergeant. He's pretty good, capable Astartes.
He kind of looks a bit like Keanu Reeves. And
weirdly, he has a brother. And I don't mean like
a brother. He has like a biological brother who's
also a blood angel called Archeo. And they get
on really well. But there's a point where on
the Battle Barge Bellus, Dante is like, oh, we've
located the lost weapon of the Primarch, the
Spear of Telesto. And the Spear of Telesto, if
you've seen any art of Sanguinius, he's got a
spear of like a kind of teardrop tip. It's white.
And that's like one of his most iconic weapons.
And it was lost. And Dante's like, we found it.
The orcs have it, because of course the orcs
somehow found it. And so for a decade, Arceo
is on this expedition to try and find it, and
they manage to get to this world called Evangelion,
and they kill the orcs. Anime. Anime. Anime.
I haven't seen it. Neither have I. I just heard
it's got a bleak ending. Wait, I didn't hear
the name. Which one? Evangelion. Oh, yeah, garbage.
I've never actually seen it. I just refuse to
watch it. Not as good as Sword Art Online, huh?
Yeah. We've got to bring that back. We haven't
heard from there. No, we don't got to bring that
back. I've never seen it. But either way, the
Blood Angels managed to get it back thanks to
a Puritan Inquisitor called Ramia Steele. What
we don't know about Ramia Steele is he's actually
a Chaos Worshipper of Sinch, and he's using the
Blood Angels. And you're like, why would he?
help the Blood Angels get a Primarch weapon for
Siege. That doesn't make no sense. Well, it's
all part of a plot. Basically, Arceo is promoted
to the Honor Guard of Sanguinary Priest Sakael,
and he's implanted with a warp spawn mutagen
into his spinal column while he's not looking,
somehow. And slowly, he starts to look a lot
like Sanguinius. He already looked like Sanguinius.
Now, he's like the spitting image of Sanguinius.
And they're like, wow, that's kind of weird.
I guess the gene seeds get doing overtime. Cool.
And they get to the cemetery world called Cybele
and they fight the word bearers. And the thing
about the Primarch weapons is generally speaking,
yes, you could wield a Primarch weapon if you're
strong, but the, whatever, like the secret sources
within them, only a Primarch or someone who's
very in tune with like the Primarch's bloodline
can utilize them to their full extent. And so
they got the spear and they're like, we shouldn't
be like using this in battle. This is a relic.
We don't touch, we don't touch dad's stuff. But
out of desperation, Arceo's like, oh, I'll use
it. And he managed to activate it. And the spirit
of Lesto has a quirk where it projects a beam
of light which vaporizes everyone. But if you
have Blood Angel's genetics, you're fine. It
just passes over you like a nice light and it
makes you feel nice. So he just like disintegrates
like a hundred word bearers. And everyone's like,
wow, that was weird. Okay. And so they go, oh,
clearly. He is Sanguinius reborn. Clearly. Right.
Okay. Now, they don't know that this is because
of some sinch trickery. But then they start to
go, well, Dante's getting on a bit. Tycho fell
to the Black Rage. He was groomed to be the next
Chapter Master. He's dead. Moriah the Chosen
is also a Dreadnought Death Company guy. He's
never going to be Chapter Master. Captain Leontis
is gone. We can't use him, who I'll mention later.
I guess Sanguinius is back in our time of need.
Hooray! Sanguinius is reborn! And they start
to call him Arceo the Blessed. And he goes, I've
got an idea. How about I lead a blood crusade
and I reunite all the successor chapters of the
Blood Angels and we form a legion again and I'll
be in charge. And Dante will surely be like,
oh, clearly you're Sanguinius. I'll step down
and you can be in charge. So, they go to a planet
called Shenlong, and they liberate it from word
bearers, and the populace... Shenlong? Shenlong.
That's how it's said in Japan. What's that game?
Bloody Raw. Like Shenlong in Bloody Raw, the
fighting game. And yeah, so the Shenlongese,
as they're called... That is another name, by
the way. My Shenlongese is longer than yours.
But Rafa and his brother, who's like, oh, my
brother is now being worshipped, kind of. He's
looking around at the populace and he's like,
they're not making icons in the image of the
emperor anymore. They're making them in the image
of my brother. That's not good. Don't get me
wrong. I'm not jealous. I respect my brother.
I love my brother. But this is clearly heresy.
So he tries to... And then he sends a message
to Dante and the blood angels, blah, blah, blah.
He's like, oh, by the way, there's something
going on. Something weird. And Arceo starts raising
a mortal army called the Warriors of the Reborn,
like hundreds of thousands of Shenlong citizens.
And they all wear like the Spirit of Lesto on
like a brooch. And as soon as Dante hears about
this, he goes, oh, I need to like have some boots
on the ground, see what's going on. I'm going
to send Captain Galeo and Epistolary Vode, who
was trained by Mephiston. So Epistolary, big
boy librarian. I'll send him, see what they say.
As soon as they get there, Vode's like, chaos.
I can see the Gribblies. I can see Cinch in your
bunghole. It's right there. So then Arceo's men...
I'm sorry, brother what? Don't worry about it.
Arceo's men... Arceo's men then execute Captain
Galeo and the Epistolary. They just gun them
down in like a tent. And then Raffan's like,
oh, this has gone really far. So Raffan escapes
or tries to escape. And then Arceo sends a message
to Dante saying, surrender the chapter to me.
I'll meet you on the Shrine World of Sabian.
And if you resist, we will kill you and I will
take it by force. Oh, this sounds like a civil
war to me. So Dante's like, well, he's like,
I'm not stupid. I'm like a thousand years old.
If I go to the Shrine World and I do die, that
will cause more problems. I'm going to send Mephiston
in my place and he can like, he's like the best
psyker I have. Like Vode was a capable psyker,
but like this sounds like warp trickery. If I
send Mephiston, he can go in my stead as my like
second. and he can see what's going on. So Mephiston
gets there, and he judges Archeo as corrupted
by Sinch, and he says, all right, by the Book
of Lords, if you truly want to lead the chapter,
I demand a trial by combat, you versus me. And
then Rathen has a whole thing I've glanced over
where he's escaping. And he's like, no, actually,
mate, sorry. Excuse me. I'm his brother. I'm
his brother. I'll fight him. I'll do it. And
Mephiston's like... I don't know. He's like,
okay, okay, I'll let you fight in my stead. So
the two of them start fighting, and it's worth
pointing out that at this point, Arceo has sprouted
wings, but they're not like angel wing, angel
wings. There's something wrong with them. Occasionally
he looks in the mirror and he sees eyeballs in
them, and they just vanish. And so the spirit
of Lesto doesn't activate anymore, because it's
like, ugh, ugh, chaos, ugh, and it won't listen
to his commands anymore. Be gone, wahmen. We
don't want you near us. So he's having a big
problem with this, and Inquisitor Steel's like,
it's okay, bro, it's okay. You're going to be
in charge of a legion. You're going to be like
the most powerful space marine ever. It'll be
chill. It'll be Coachella, bruh. And so the two
brothers fight, and it's going quite well, but
in the midst of the fighting, the word bearers
I mentioned earlier, they're still angry, so
they get involved. So then Inquisitor Steel kills
the Sanguinary High Priest, and he says, oh,
by the way, Mephiston... brought the word bearers.
Clearly the Psyche is icky. He's the one who
did this. He's the one who's going to destroy
our Messiah. He's the one who's causing the problems.
So then the blood angels fight each other and
the word bearers are taking shots as well. Eventually
Rathven manages to kill his brother. He basically
has a like a wrestle with him in the skies as
he's flying with wings. He pulls off his wings.
He breaks his wings off. Then Arceo drops the
spear and it lands like upright and it kind of
points towards him and then as he falls from
the sky it just straight for his body and like
ralph has got a jump pack he's okay and then
he realizes his error he's like i'm sorry the
spears like purged the chaos corruption within
me but i failed everyone please forgive me and
he's like only the emperor can forgive you but
for what it's worth i'm sorry as well and um
also a weird weird fact you know that uh mephiston
fell to the black rage during the second war
for armageddon and he got over it He falls to
the Black Rage again in this book. So he goes
for number two. Raffan also falls to the Black
Rage, but Raffan picks up the Spear of Telesto
and he manages to activate it somehow. Is he
a true son of Sanguinus? So the Black Rage is
driven out of his body. And then all the Blood
Angels are like... And they're fighting each
other. That was my homage to that amazing meme
of like... joey diaz and joe rogan talking about
gorillas um but like um chimps eat the fuck out
of monkeys yeah that one yeah and it's like and
then rafan gets to mephiston and he unleashes
he like he chucks archaeo's body off a cliff
and he's like there's your messiah he was my
brother and i loved him but he was he was a he
wasn't a messiah and he uses the spear and it
cleanses the black rage from mephiston and all
the blood angels and the person's like oh that
was quite impressive bro I'm going to see if
we can get you to be sixth captain. And Raffan
refuses. He's like, no, I'm fine as a sergeant.
Thank you. And instead, he becomes the student
of Mephiston. And he's not a psyker. But the
two of them, for the rest of the omnibus, have
a really interesting relationship. It was like,
who's your new intern, Mephiston? Lord of Death.
And he's like, he's a guy I met. And all the
people are like, wait, you're being taught by
Mephiston? You're not a psyker. He's like, shut
up. I'm still cool. And I like their relationship
with the blade. Yeah. And so I like that because
Rafa is a really cool character as well. And
there's more for his stuff. He meets Astaroth
and Astaroth is all like, what do you mean you
got cured of the black rage? Like Mephiston?
I don't like psychos. And he has like a whole
like trial where he, he tests, he like tests
him out and stuff. It's quite funny. But before
I talk about the next little bit. Yeah. Before
we get any further. Yeah, because I got some
more stuff. Thank you, chat. Thank you very much.
Thank you. Grey boss thing for the $5. You get
to be part of a faction in 40k. Lead it and kill
one another, I assume that means. Oh, kill off
another, is it? Oh, kill off another, yeah. Who
do you choose? Insert your battle cry. Kill the
custodians. Kill every last custodian. Or the
votan, you know. I would join the White Scars
and I would lead the hunt just to get rid of
John Grimelicus. Not even a faction. That one
guy. I don't know if Custodians should go away,
but I don't know if they need to be their own
faction. If they're incorporated into someone
else's faction, that would be pretty good. I
would immediately join the Tyranids so I could
devour all of the leagues of Wotan as they deserve.
And I could rightfully carve out that space for
a much more interesting faction in the future.
Hal just wants to gluck those digestion pools
from the capillary towers, that's all. He just
wants to go on a war too. Lead the Eldar to victory.
Smash the Imperium. And then everyone left is
only the big boys from the war in heaven. And
I guess the Tower are here too. Hi. It'd probably
be okay joining the Tower or the Imperium. One
of the two. Maybe the Eldar. Eldar really don't
have maybe the nicest intentions at mind most
of the time, to be honest. And the Imperium does!
At least they look it up for humanity. I'm assuming
I'll be an Eldar if I'm joining the Eldar. I'm
assuming I'm not just me. The Eldar, like, in
Warhammer, when a race creates, like, if a Chaos
God was made by a certain race, the human one
was like that whole Dark King, and it's like,
it's the God of Destruction. The Eldar's dark
version of themselves is Slaanesh, the God of...
You're evil. They won so hard that they didn't
need to do anything anymore. What are their intentions?
Please leave me alone. They literally alone,
they alone jorked it so hard they created doom
for the galaxy. Yeah, and the Dark King was just
that with humans. I don't know. The Drukhari
probably have several chairs made out of four
skins. I'm like, I don't know. I know, Chief.
I'm not happy with that. I'm not happy with that.
In technically Indore, there's like an Eldar
version of like Eldar Heresy. No, but as in like
when the Birth of Slaanesh happened. Like their
version of it. They have like a version of their
own Horus Heresy that we don't know about. Well,
it was probably just the Dark Eldar continuing
on forward as if nothing had changed. Striking
Scorpions, yeah. It'd be nice to be an Exodite.
It'd be nice to be an Exodite. Still in the fields.
But, I don't know, maybe it'd be cool to be a
Grey Knight if Grey Knights didn't get, like,
goofed on in lore and make comically evil all
the time, but it'd still be nice to be Grey Knights,
because then your main enemy is, like, the pure
evil of the galaxy. And also innocent civilians
sometimes, but... Zenon, but you heard it here
first. Knights of Blood for the win, that is
all. Very true. They were assholes, but they
went out dying for the good cause. Colin, I think
this is for Colin. Oh, boy. Bucket the blue with
the 10 CA. Dreamt I'd been an evil version of
Colin on my LGS. When I tried to play him, he
crushed my custom overlord in his hand like a
cartoon villain, called me a homophobic slur,
and assaulted me till I woke up. That's real
Colin. No, that just happened, man. Wow. That
was like last week, right? Yeah. Same wavelength.
Trash Fox Nurgle Woke Mind Virus? Thank you.
Nice room. Nicer beard, Colin. Blood Angel Books,
11. Space War for Books, 14+. Blood Angels got
the worst model update. Space Wars got everything.
Werewolves confirmed. That's real. That's pretty
real. BW has confirmed Team Jacob. Space Wars
now have the coolest Space Marine models in the
game. At least in current age. You can do it.
I believe in you. Donkey Man USA with the two
bucks. No, Shinji, don't jork into the apothecary.
Guards out of my way. I need to make an Evangelion
reference. Caleb Collins, an OG. Thank you for
the $2. Elf Simp looks like Shinji's dad from
Eva Uwu. Elf Simp is in Holland. I don't know
enough about him. Apparently he's an asshole.
That's literally all I got. Caleb Collins, again,
for $5 ,887 for $5. I appreciate that, man. The
Skaven could tunnel into $40 ,000 and bring Tyranids
to Sigmar, making it even more $40 ,000 and giving
$40 ,000 sporty, bigger rats. Oo -woo, war crimes
are for elves. Okay, thank you. I knew going
in. I like the faction. No one else does. I accept
it. That's just life for me. It is what it is.
Thank you for the five. Eli, you've become a
Necron Pharaon. Full memory of what you know
now. What do you do? What would be your goal?
Unite the Dynasties, of course. Maybe that's
second. Find my wife. If this is just like 40k
universe, though. Unite the Dynasties. Reclaim
the galaxy to the rightful rulers of the Necron,
of course. Damn, bro. Bro, you've got to betray
us all. Yeah, okay. He's just going the robots.
I'm going the 40 years. If I'm a Necron, I've
got the Necron mindset, probably. Fuck being
a human in 40k. No, thank you. I wouldn't want
to enslave all of humanity or kill them all.
Fake Beelzebub, man. Yeah, I know, right? I know.
So following the Blood Angels Civil War, we've
been, as we've mentioned earlier, like the parts,
you're probably thinking, what is all this leading
up to? We mentioned parts with Dante meeting
Xenos. We've mentioned parts where there's been
this Blood Angels Civil War. We mentioned things
about Tyranid High Fleet. It's because the big
Blood Angels, like 41st Millennium plotline,
is essentially to do with them fighting the Tyranids,
because I believe it's Leviathan, isn't it, Andy?
Leviathan is like... you know what fuck these
guys in particular i'm not joking the hive mind
literally goes screw the blood angels starts
ignoring worlds and goes yeah let's let's kill
them and beelines it for their home system the
birthplace or not the birthplace but the home
world of their beloved sanguineous ball and all
of its moons yeah um and and and To give you
an idea, this is the same year that everything
bad ever happens in Warhammer. It's 999 M41.
You've got, obviously, Cadia is under siege.
Got Baal having a tough time. And, of course,
the most important event of the 999 M41, the
battle for Chagoris, which is a real shame. Red
Corsairs attacking my boy Jagatai's homeland.
to give you an idea it's i believe over a decade
that the leviathan is venturing very slowly towards
baal and the blood angels when they assemble
are all like that's really weird because i've
had people in my i did tyrannous recently and
they're like um actually tyrannous only care
about eating they don't have like emotions i'm
like Well, here they did, actually. Yeah, it
stays in the book, doesn't it? It stays in the
book. And also they're like, you said hive minds.
There's only one hive mind. And there's a bit
in this book where also Mephiston says, maybe
it's one. Maybe there's many. We know there's
a hive fleet that eats another hive fleet. So
I'm like, yeah. But yeah, so Devastation of Baal.
Obviously, the Tyranids see the Blood Angels
specifically as a threat, which is weird because
the last two wars, it was the Ultramarines that
were getting in their business. But something
about the Blood Angels is like, oh, we've got
to get rid of these guys. These are a bad, bad
thing. And so, like we said before with Eli and
I talking about Anrakir, there were the Shield
Worlds of Cryptus, which were like a bulwark
to kind of slow down the advance. And originally,
it was a bunch of mortals. They all died. And
then Dante and the Flesh Terrors went up and
they're like, oh, no. They destroyed the entire
system in three days. What? Three days? I was
like, yep, not a good time. And so they did the
whole thing where they blew up the sun and it
killed loads of Tyranids. But then there's another
tendril going around the maelstrom towards Baal.
And so Dante has already sent a message before
he went to the crypto system to all of the successors
of the Blood Angels and went, hey, boys, we don't
necessarily all seem eye to eye, but... Sanguinis'
home is about to be, like, eaten. I need you.
Come back. Come home. Come home. We'll put on
a good spread. We'll let bygones be bygones,
and we'll defend Baal. And, like, the flesh terrorists,
for example, they're on a very bad footing. The
main chaplain, Apollos, has a big argument with
Seth on a chaos -infested world where he abandons
a bunch of men because he gets the call, and
he's like... oh, you're his lap dog now. He's
like, if you say that again in front of the men,
I'm going to kill you where you stand. It's like,
oh, Seth. He really would, though. Seth is a
bulldog. He would rip a guy's throat out with
his teeth. Yeah. His nickname is Princess. Like
the pit bull princess. And to compound the woes
of the blood angels, this isn't going to be just
a Tyranid battle. There's also portents in the
warp that Mephiston are seeing that Khorne and
Cabanda from that Cygnus Prime book, the Angelbane,
is like, I'm going to wait until you're at your
lowest, and I'm going to get me some skulls,
baby. Yes, all the threads are coming together
from this video. They're all converging. And
so there's the whole thing of like, right, we've
got maybe like 20 chapters of the blood making
their way. Lamenters couldn't make it because
they're rubbish. Atlantean spears outright refuse.
They're like, we're not coming to save you. Screw
off. You deal with it. Oh, thanks, guys. You
don't even have a red color palette. You're stuck.
Boo. Boo armor. Get burnt. And one thing that
I think it was Graham McNeil who did Devastation
of Baal. Kai Haley. Guy Haley, Guy Haley, Guy
Haley and Graham McNeil are like the goats when
it comes to like adding like layers to the law.
And he had a problem with this book is like,
well, we've got Mephiston in this campaign. He's
overpowered as fuck. If he's in the devastation
of bar, he'll just be. And then he flew into
the battlefield and killed a billion Tyranids
and he slowed down time. So you got this, this
one guy you've got to get rid of in order to
make a fun story. and in the devastation of Baal,
there's a bit where they obviously prepare defences,
they get all the blood angel successes, and then
Mephiston actually goes into a place called the
Carceri Arcanum, which is his secret librarian
vault. Oh, this is the part where most people...
Because if we talk about Baal itself, there's
lots of ancient... We mentioned before ancient
tombs, corridors, there's places where... What's
that part where it has the two guardians, Andy?
and they're like they're not blood angels but
they're they're like blood angels and they're
just two random guardians of like the librarians
their actual hold and they just stand vigil and
even dante has to ask permission to come in and
they're like really weird like two yeah vigilant
they have blacks they're like sanguinary god
but they wear black armor and they have wings
i can't remember what they're called exactly
um but they are there yeah a few weird things
on baal though but this one is a particularly
one that's only in a few like Mephiston and Dante
books isn't it yeah and and so Mephiston's like
oh I've been having a dreamy dream in my coffin
and I got a bit like he there's like a passage
where he kills all the serfs when he's like he's
in like a kind of dream state and he wakes up
and all the attendants like more wine sir and
he's like ah and he just kills them all and then
he wakes up he's like what have I done not again
and he's like oh I saw a vision of Cabanda that's
not good He's like Khorne's number one guy. Well,
number two guy, but that's a different story.
So he's like, I need to confirm this is going
to happen because if I ignore this, we're all
doomed. But if it's not true and it's just a
trick, I'm going to be chasing my tail. So he
goes into this kind of crypt where you've got
the librarian and then there's like another layer.
It's called the Carceri Arcanum. and inside is
all the weird stuff they have like they've got
a sword that can kill any being but if you use
it you will instantly get the black rage because
it's cursed cool um they have the panoply of
previous chapter master araclius who did such
bad stuff they redacted all memory of him in
the chapter because he was a really bad dude
so No idea what he did. You've got the skull
of the homunculus of Baal, which almost destroyed
the Blood Angels chapter. You've got relics of
Old Knight. You've got imprisoned Necron overlords
who are in stasis prisons, and they've been there
for ages. You've got cursed banners, demonic
blades, even staffs of, like, fragments of staffs
which can tear wrens in the immaterium. And in
the heart of this place is a place called the
Vault of Marest, and it is overseen by a former
chief librarian. Dreadnought Lord Marist. Now,
Marist is a dreadnought. He's a big fella. They
built the vault around him because he was a powerful
dude 3 ,000 years ago. They made a war tomb around
his chassis so he can never leave. And he just
sits there with his big power axe. And he's older
than Dante. And so he vowed to guard the chapter
from an enemy who wounded him and put him in
a dreadnought 3 ,000 years ago, which is called
the Octocalverii. And this thing has been chained
up in the basement for 3000 years with no food.
You can see its ribs quite well. And it's really
creepy, isn't it? Well, yeah, it's got like six
limbs. It's corrupted by chaos. So it has eight
faces and each face has six eyes and it's got
like gill like noses and a proboscis for a mouth
on all of its eight faces. And it's a weird Xenos.
That's the last of its species. It's corrupted
by chaos, very much so, but it can't be killed.
And they've tried. That's the funny part, isn't
it? They mentioned that they tried everything
and they just can't seem to kill it. In this
chamber, there's like 12 really powerful things
that they just can't kill. So they just stuck
them in the basement and just chained them up.
Hoarders. And also, this is also near the Ecclesia
Obscura, which is the home of the 15 Scrolls
of Sanguinius, where when he was having visions
during the 30th millennium, he wrote down a lot
of stuff about what he saw, one of the things
being the devastation of Baal. And Dante, Mephiston
has a quick exchange with the creature, and I'll
read it out for you now if you'd like. A sip
of energy juice. A bit of wine. A sip of blood
wine. Gotta recharge. Yeah, it says, I am Mephiston,
chief librarian of the Blood Angels, the Lord
of Death. A fitting name for one such as you.
Its multiple eyes blink together. You are the
successor to the one who killed my followers
and caged me. I am. Many generations removed.
You have been here a long time. For preaching
the truth of reality to your people, you kill
and enslave. You call me monster. You who hunger
for the blood of your own kind. You are the enslaver.
By Warpcraft, you subjugated the free imperial
systems and seduced their inhabitants away from
the life of the Emperor and damned them all for
eternity. Your confinement here is just. We would
kill you if we could. You cannot. The Dark Lords
make me strong. Have you come here to gloat?
If you have, enjoy it. I shall one day be free
of this place. I will be merciful to those who
show me respect. I have no need to gloat, and
you shall never escape. I have come instead to
seek your wisdom, evil as it is. That is amusing.
A great darkness approaches Baal. I see it. A
blankness in the sea of souls. An unending hunger
comes. It desires to consume you. Your hungers
are similar. Do you not see it as a kindred spirit?
There is something else. Another event is soon
to occur. Not of the material realm, but of the
warp. I have seen it in a vision, but will have
confirmation before I act. And you want me to
help you. You will help me. Then release me.
And perhaps I may accommodate your desires before
I kill you. I never said I needed your active
participation. And then like Mephiston, he drives
Vitaris into the ground before the alien Psyker
and reaches out his hands towards it. Red fire
flickering around his fingers. He bent the creature's
mind to his will, but it fought him all the way.
And for a moment... Mephiston feared that he
had attempted a task he could not accomplish,
and that the being would overwhelm him. With
a psychic shout, he pushed hard, battering the
Octocalvary into submission. The creature was
a worshipper of chaos in its formless glory,
and it was many thousands of years old. Who knew
what worlds it had ruined and how many species
it had corrupted? At the heart of its power,
it had been a prophet of incredible accuracy.
Its link to the Imperium was still strong, and
Mephiston rode this as a warrior from a backward
world might attempt to master an unbroken steed.
The Xenos mind bucked. and thrashed in its psychic
grasp, and he did not relent. And though the
creature's many unholy eyes looked upon the realm
of chaos and the myriad possibilities forming
there, a billion horrible images burned into
his second sight. He sifted through them quickly.
Carbanda's lust for the souls of the blood angels
shone readily bright. Mephiston honed in on the
greater demon's essence with little difficulty.
For a brief moment, he saw the demon battling
still. battle still raging. The red angel burned
with furious fires. Cabanda was with a spear's
cast of the gate. He was coming to the material
realm. The bloodthirster paused in its carnage,
turned and looked towards Mephiston directly
in the eye. Cabanda's bellow sent the Lord of
Death flying backwards, trailing flames he slammed
into the wall of the Octocalvary cell. That is
what you wanted to know. Had you told me, I would
have shown you willingly. There is no finer thing
than presenting a being with truth of its own
death. The Neverborn you call Carbanda will come
for you, so -called Lord of Death. He will take
your mortal skull for his drinking cup, and your
soul shall join his armies and throw down this
Imperium you pretend to love. Mephiston recovered
himself and took up Vitaris. Those are lies.
Are they? You will see. There is a darkness in
you that eclipses my own, Lord of Death. Let
me free, so I may see you fall. You will remain
here. Be assured, if it were possible, I would
slay you. One day, you will be my ally. Never,
said Mephiston. And that's just like a cool exchange
with, like, a Chaos Sinos thingy, a gribbly thingy
that lives in the basement. Big ups for pronouncing
the name correctly more than once. I stumbled
a few times. That was tricky. It's so annoying.
Whenever it comes up, when people think about
it, I always stumble on its bloody name, like
Octavilli something. Look, who here among us
doesn't have something chained in their basement?
I mean, some of us don't look like we would.
What do you mean by that? What do you mean by
that? Surely we don't look like any of us here
would do that. Yeah, it's always the ones you
least expect. I don't have a basement. I can't
do nothing in there. We're not the kind of fellows
who would do that. No. I mean, if Hal saw a poor
person, he might, but still. Oh, God. We got
a Hal hates poor people before you even said
that in the chat. God forbid someone have a GIMP
dungeon. chaos mephiston would be cool i'd like
that he's comically op so well they have like
a weird mythology thing where there's like an
angel of light and darkness and there's like
they're always struggling for the soul of the
blood angels yeah do you want to briefly touch
on that how oh yes because it's it's a part which
is i technically it's throughout all of bar's
history which It's a thing with the warp where
the warp is, as like with the birth of Sonesh,
it therefore becomes not constrained by time
itself. So once Sonesh is born, Sonesh has always
existed and technically could alter the past,
but it's really difficult to do so. It would
be like, you know what I mean? Like the warp
is not vulnerable at certain times, but the very
act of... essentially the blood angels existence
weirdly enough created their it's like a weird
time loop where they create their own like symmetry
and perhaps even what was I guess the part maybe
not everyone knows is like the origins of the
black rage because the within the warp which
is I think Mephiston sees this personally in
his own novels even in yeah in a later novel
which is there are two angels that are battling
over. There are two wolves inside you. There
are two things in your walls, but there are two
angels within the warp that battle in the space
where Baal exists. There is one angel of light,
of gold, of all the things that is good to do
with the chapter and the legion of the, or the
line, you know, the bloodline of the blood angels.
And then there's an angel of darkness, of death,
of it is the, embodiment of the black range and
these two angels continuously essentially battle
for the soul of all the blood angels and their
successors and throughout time especially towards
the 41st millennium the angel in gold is not
winning the angel of darkness is stronger and
the angel of gold has an avatar which is essentially
shown to us to be the sanguine or which is again
we haven't really touched on the sanguine necessarily
but people are somewhat familiar with the sanguine
or as the almost like the living embodiment of
sanguineous as well but it's not sanguineous
it is like essentially a herald of him it is
some people think it might be ascalon who was
the sanguinary guard captain in the horus heresy
but that's not confirmed it could be anyone who
knows we're not sure it is a mysterious figure
that often shows up in the Blood Angel's most
dire times of need, and it aids the chapter.
It is not a being that necessarily speaks other
than one time ever, and that was to Dante to
say there is still hope, when Dante almost wanted
to give up before fighting on the devastation
of Baal. But the Gold Angel has the avatar in,
well, an embodiment of itself, which is the Sanguinal,
but the Angel of Darkness does not. And to help
essentially extend the fight against the Angel
of Darkness and not let the Black Rage take over
all the Sons of Sanguinius, Mephiston will at
some point later agree to become a mirror image
of the Sanguinal, and in tandem he becomes the
avatar of the Angel of Darkness. It will doom
him, but it buys time for all of the chapters
of the blood. And it's a very weird part where...
Because this thing happens, it explains that
it actually influences all of time. So whoever,
whatever Xenos race lived on Baal long before
humans ever ventured there, it explains that
they would have most likely developed a culture
of light and dark, of like angels of lights and
darkness. Whoever exists on Baal long when humans
are dead will similarly be influenced subtly
by the warp in the same way. So it's a really
weird. I guess, yeah, it's like the Blood Angels
create a wound in the warp that will forever
influence any culture that comes to exist on
the Baal system, which is very interesting, I
think. It's a very cool part, which is, again,
not very, it's not exactly surface level lore
things, but I hope people do appreciate that
it's pretty, I guess to tell you, it also maybe
somewhat explains that the Black Rage itself
is a psychic wound. It's not a gene flaw necessarily
like the Red Thirst might be. It is a wound of
Sanguinus' death and it mixes in with this sort
of mythology of these two angels, you know, like
literally like, you know, the devil on your one
shoulder, the angel on your other one, sort of,
you know, two things battling for the greater
control of the inner body. It's cool stuff, cool
stuff. A question, a question. I remember arguing
with someone about this like four years ago when
I first started doing Warhammer stuff. Did the
Black Rage happen during the Horus Heresy as
well, because it transcended space and time?
It's basically immediately after Sanguinus' death.
But not before. But isn't the Ragefire like a
catalyst for the Black Rage as well? It's like
Erebus' shenanigans. Maybe it's a thing where
the actual full -on Black Rage I think happens
after Sanguinus' death, but it shows there's
I think you are correct in assuming like the,
the fact like it basically like the psychic wound
at some point is born and therefore the black
rage always exists. And therefore, you know,
it's mostly people doing, they have like do like
the red thirst or like there's a floor within
sanguineous. It could be like that. The floor
of like an inner rage is turned into the black
rage or the black rage always existed. And therefore.
the warp subtly influences the Dark Angels to
be vulnerable to it throughout time, but then
once... Sorry, not Blood Angels, throughout time,
but then once obviously Sanguini has died, it's
like, oh yeah, it's like turned up to 11. It's
not an easy question to answer, funny enough,
actually. Now I think about it. Up for debate,
though. It's up for debate. I could be wrong.
It's up for interpretation, at least, I think.
Alternatively, some people just get whack diseases
and it just happens. Yeah. He died really hard.
Like the Raven Guard have the ultra -depression
thing during the Horus Heresy, and I don't remember
it being mentioned much after. Umbral... What's
it called? I didn't even realise they had a Genesee
floor until I read that Korax book. A Genesee
floor where they become super depressed. They've
got Sable blindness as well. Sable blindness
and something else. Yeah. He's just like, what's
wrong? He's just like, I'm sad. Imperial Fists
have terrible head game because they can't spit.
I feel like they'd have good head game because
they're not going to melt it off. Imperial Fists
have the stubborn gene where it's just like their
gene curses. They'll be like, I'm going to commit
to the suicide mission. It's like, why? It's
like, because I'm gonna. Maybe you shouldn't.
It's like, no, you're stupid. And that's their
gene curse. They're just stubborn. The Primarch
subtly, their temperament definitely. influences
the sons. Yeah. I do have a couple of other tidbits,
by the way. Sure. I got some old -ass, like,
old -head lore for you. The deep stuff. So, are
you guys particularly familiar with the comics
that they've made over the years? Slightly. I
know the Kalgar one. So, we got the Kalgar one.
Oh, he owns it. The greatest of them all. The
Marvel comic, might I add. I'm curious. I can't
help but notice that Sanguinius doesn't have
a comic. I was going to say Blood Angels comic.
Do you primarily tell Bungles? You say that.
Maybe not. 1998, I believe the first ever comic
made for Warhammer was a Blood Angels comic.
I choose to ignore it. And it was a multi -part
comic called Blood Quest. And it was about a
really old model called Leonatus. and leonardus
was a captain he had his own mini and he was
uh like oh gee he kind of looks like steven seagal
um but like not cringe uh it's like what's the
film that he was good in um he was on a board
uh something siege under siege that was okay
and then all the other films are like yeah um
he's not good in anything uh well you still write
that one um but the thing is uh leonardus was
originally like taiko like a few other characters
groomed to be like the replacement for dante
because dante for years has been like i'm so
old and i want to die please let anybody's also
like i don't want to just abandon the chapter
i'm gonna like groom some and remember groom
being not that kind of groom folks like i'm going
to try and train a person oh no he didn't have
to say it oh but um So basically, this guy was
a really heavy -hitting captain like Cato Sicarius
Energy until one day there was a battle against
the Orcs. Of course it was the Orcs. Well, they
had another of Sanguinius' weapons called the
Blade and Carmine. And most of Leonartus' company
died defending the artifact or trying to get
the artifact until Dante and his men entered
the fray and rescued them. But unfortunately,
it was lost. The Blade and Carmine was this close
to being reclaimed. And that's like Sanguinis'
sword. And so as penance, because he had to do
some penance, Leonartus is tasked with a blood
quest, which is what the thing is called, where
he must find the Blade and Carmine. He must retrieve
it from the Orc war boss, Gashul the Destroyer.
And however far across the galaxy he may be,
you've got to go reclaim that sword. Now, in
reality, Gashool is not an orc. He's a chaos
-possessed orc. He's got a scribbly spirit in
him. That's why he's like Gasgool levels of power.
He is like one of the biggest orcs around. But,
Leonartis is like, okay, I'm going to go track
you down across the galaxy. Eventually, getting
onto his flagship, confronting the demon inside
of him, and cutting his head off. And then the
demon's like, ha, you just killed an orc. Stupid.
I'm a demon. Don't care. No sweat. And so then
the rest of his blood quest survivors who are
from his company are like, I'm going to stand
with you to the end. Let's go into the Eye of
Terror. Let's go follow into the Eye of Terror.
Okay, cool. So they go into the Eye of Terror.
They go to a demon world called Eidolon, not
to be confused with the Emperor's Children character
called Eidolon. Again, that Warhammer thing of
using the names over and over again. And eventually
they do find that a demon prince of Sinch is
the one who has the sword. And their quest on
this death world is aided by a fallen angel called
Hayroth the Damned. So this guy is 10 ,000 years
old. He's a dark angel originally from Caliban.
And he's like, I'll help you boys. You're going
to have to best the champion of Khorne, the champion
of Slaanesh, blah, blah, blah. So they go to
all these different cities. I think there's one
called Borbulax, who's like the Nurgle champion.
It's like, that's a great name. It's something
like that. And he bests all of them. He loses
a few men as he goes until eventually it's just
three of them. It's him, veteran brother Clotin,
who's just like a giant guy, and scout marine
Lysander. They eventually go through a maze of
sinch, possibly in his realm. Maybe it's the
big labyrinth. I'm not sure. It kind of is a
bit vague. They go to where the greater demon
of sinch is, and he goes, okay, kill the dark
angel, or fallen angel, I should say, and...
If you fail, you'll serve him. And if you win,
you will serve at my rightful place. And it's
basically Sidious from Star Wars. So Leonartus
goes, oh, we've killed the fallen angel. That's
good. There's no way we can kill this demon prince.
We're just free dudes. Run. Run, my boys. Run
away. Take the blade and carmine. Get out of
here. Get back to the blood angels. So Leonartus
sacrifices himself to the demon. Lysander and
Clotin spend a millennia. trying to get back
to Baal from the Immaterium. But in real space,
only 12 years pass until eventually this like
baby face scout who was there originally comes
back and he's got a big old Gandalf beard. Clotin's
got like braids and stuff. He kind of looks kooky.
And they're like, hey, Dante, we're back. It's
like, where have you been? Oh, we've been like
spending like hundreds, if not thousands of years
in the warp trying to get back. And we've got
the blade in Carmine. And then Dante and Mephiston
basically realizes, oh. These two are older than
you, Dante. You're a scrub competitor. These
guys are ancient. They're well old. And he's
like, oh, thanks for getting the sword. What
happened to Leonatus? He's like, oh, he's still
out there. We've got to go find him. And he's
like, well, are you sure? And they're like, yeah,
oh, captain, my captain, I'm not going to leave
Leonatus to be tortured by chaos forever. So
Clotin and Lysander go back into the... the chaos
infested parts of the world. They find a, they
find like a, what's Abaddon's seer called? The
one with an M. Is it Morgana? Morgana. They find
like a Morgana seer type person. And there's
like a big chaos battle going on. And they just
kind of waltz in and they ruin the chaos battle
that's been going on forever. They go to the
seer and it's like, tell me what I need to know.
And then they cut its head off. Like, lol, blood
angels. Blah, blah, blah. And, um, basically
they go to this world called skyron they uh they
managed to find leonardus and where he's been
and he's been corrupted by chaos he's got like
kiss makeup on it's like proper 80s metal where
he's like he's straight into his hair he's got
like the corpse paint on he's like oh that's
leonardus that's no good and he's now serving
the demon prince and so Lysander and Clotin fight
their way to him. They leave a mortal serf uprising
in the bowels of the ship to overthrow the guards.
And eventually, Leontes fights Lysander. He manages
to strike down Clotin, if I remember correctly,
and that's what gives him an opportunity to briefly
escape the clutches of the demon that's possessing
his body. And he's like, thank you for helping
me break through. I've been watching their maneuvers.
I know exactly what they're going to do. overload
the ship's reactors will blow up the chaos fleet
and i know exactly where to go and i'll sacrifice
myself and end this blood quest once and for
all and so basically lysander escapes garshall
the destroyer is destroyed when the ship blows
up and uh that captain of the blood angels never
comes back rip to a real one and uh it's kind
of a fun comic it's very retro like each each
edition the art gets better And at first it's
all like kind of clunky looking and a bit goofy.
And then it gets better and better until eventually
it's like he's wearing black metal face paint.
Demons, demons, demons. I didn't know any of
this before. And it's cool. And one last tidbit
from one of the Raffen books. Raffen kills Fabius
Bile. I've said this before. And he does so by
drinking a bit of Sanguinis' blood that Fabius
stole because he wanted to use his blood for
science experiments. You're not... You shouldn't
drink the Primarch's blood, right? You shouldn't
drink blood in general, but yeah. It's like putting
a non -recharged battery in a charging port.
It's like, this is not going to end well. It's
like the battery expands. Killer Queen has already
touched this controller. Yeah, yeah. And so he
manages to hurl Fabius over the tower and he
gets eaten to death by Tyranid, which is funny.
But then Raffan manages to get back to the Blood
Angels with the help of his friends who are in
this prison camp. And Chaplain Lamartes, who's
in charge of the death company, and High Priest
Corbulo, who's the main medic, are like, it's
got blood in him. It's got primal blood in him.
And then Lamartes is like, we just put him out
of his misery, get the blood out that way. And
Corbulo's like, no, he's a good boy. He's like
Mephiston's bae. I've got an idea. what was his
um when you're when you're a blood angel and
you become an astartes proper you're putting
a sarcophagus and then it like transfuses the
blood into you it's like what if we put him in
the the coffin he was trained in and that will
siphon the blood out gradually and we can like
subdue him a bit like okay fair enough and while
he's in there there's a revelation uh you know
i mentioned briefly about that meros guy who
sacrificed his life to save sanguineus Turns
out the last thing he ever did in the Horus Heresy
was before he jumped into the Ragefire, he tore
out his own gene seed and threw it to the Primarch
and said, remember my legacy. That gene seed
is in Raffen's body. He's the one who inherited
the gene seed. And so there's a weird link between
them. And also, quinkydinkily, it's the same
sarcophagus that Meros used when he was an initiate.
So while he's in a coma state, they have a psychic
communion in like a weird immaterial realm bridging
the gap of 10 000 years and they're very confused
because their heraldry is all over the place
and like who are you and what's going on and
both of them have inner demons which manifest
and neither of them can kill them but if they
kill one another's they manage to to banish the
demons the sanguinar shows up gives them the
thumbs up and he's like good and then he disappears
um And basically, they have like a heart -to
-heart where Meros learns that before he was
going to jump into the Ragefire, that Sanguinius
would die. And so one of the reasons he jumped
into the Ragefire was to try and prevent the
Grimdark future and the death of his Primarch.
And yeah, but then he's like, oh, at least I
know that my legacy lives on in Rathen and that
the Blood Angels still survive and it's important.
And then Rathen's like... I hope I don't get
abandoned in the near future. I'm a really cool
character. That's him gone. Thanks, Games Workshop.
Thank you. Thanks. That is cool, though. That's
a cool little... Because I didn't know that obviously
with Nat creates like the... I do like it when
they have little links to horror series. Don't
do it all the time. obviously don't that's sometimes
don't do it too much but i like the little ones
where like it harkens back to uh other characters
i think although for the poor you know blood
angels they very much have had a whole legacy
of like they're just holding they're holding
whatever fringe of their you know the system
ballers in you know especially with imperial
knights they're just holding it all together
i think they're very much like with what um Even
like a small tip that I always like is like when
they mentioned that Horus, who Horus thought
would make a good war master. And he said it
should have been Sanguinius. And it's proven
like as in, you know, in Imperium Secundus during
the Horus Heresy when the Lion Gilliman and Sanguinius,
you know, they don't know that Terra did exist
anymore. They're cut off from, you know, inside
the Ruin Storm of the warp. They make their own
mini Imperium and Sanguinius is Emperor Regent
at that time. Yep. And it shows, like, maybe
with Dante being, you know, warden of Imperium
Nihilus, that the Blood Angels are essentially
a leading role amongst many of the other chapters,
even to the 41st millennium. I do really like
the exchange Gilliman has with Sanguinis as well,
where at the end of the Devastation of Baal book,
he's like, hey. We need to do better. He's like
for millennia, the Imperium has been like promoting
men and making them space Marines out of cruelty.
We need to have men who are not just the strongest.
We need to have men who are tempered and have
good morals because this doesn't work. Just making
the strongest, the ones who are going to be in
charge does not work. And I've seen that time
and time again, since I've been back in the game
and it's like. rebuild Secundus, rebuild Primus
if you can. It's kind of covered in like, Cabanda,
while he was rampaging on Primus, made like a
big tower of skulls of like, not just Tyranid
skulls, but like Bioship skulls. So it's like
a big ziggurat that you can see from the orbit
of Prime. And you're like, look at that thing.
Khorne is amazing. It's like, yeah. He's a one
-trick pony, but he does that trick pretty good.
Yeah. There's a... I have a cool one, which is
like a tidbit, only a small tidbit, which is
like, you probably think, oh, you know, there's
Black Rage, you know, Korn many times been like,
blood angels, join me, please. There is like
a small bit in a Mephiston novella where there's
the blood angels with Mephiston. They encounter
this sort of shrine world that's been long dead.
And it's what they think is like relics of old,
like blood angel patterned armor. And it's basically
they end up realizing, oh, they're not relics.
They're actually like ancient blood angels that
fell to the black rage or like fell to corn or
something or chaos or something. And they're
like cracking and then they start waking up and
they have to end up fighting them, which is quite
cool. So there are examples of in law stuff where
some blood angels do fall. Also in preparation
for the devastation of Baal. Corbulo tries to
like, well not Corbulo, one of his sanguinary
priests tries to make like even better blood
angels and Fabius Bile is like undercover and
he gives them like tainted stock and he makes
blood fiends as they're called and so before
the devastation of Bile happens there's all these
like weird blood angels mutant like abominations
running around they're like oh my god they're
trying to eat Sanguinius' sarcophagus they're
going to the blood they're going to eat his stuff
oh no please don't eat Sanguinius' coffin get
around the coffin boys we are so fucked if that
happens yeah they are like they cannot catch
a break four fellas. And then Byler's like, I
stole his blood! And Raffin's like, come here,
you! And he runs after him. He's good. I think,
though, with that, is there any more small parts,
Andy, that we want to go through? Have we talked
about Armageddon? Are they there enough for it
to matter? That's where Tycho dies, right? They
were there the second and third time, so much
so that there were like three sensors for the
third war. One was called Yarek, one was called
Dante, the other one was the Titan pilot. I can't
remember his name. It was the Titan fella. So
Dante was really active in the second war. Third
war, and second war is where Mephiston changed
into what he is today, where he was buried. um
but the third war they only sent like a company
and it was taiko again and he fell to the black
rage and died cool yeah can i i might be wrong
because i half of my half of my attention has
been directed towards the lore crimes chat and
i've been talking with uh but is it like acceptable
to say that most of blood angels lore is extremely
self -contained and everything they do is really
only affecting their chapter They have no participation
in overarching events. I mean, you've got two
Dante books, you've got Devastation of Baal,
you've got three Mephiston books. You have Logan
Grimnar banishing freaking Magnus and the Space
Wolves bodying people on Armageddon. And then
you have, I don't know, the War of the Beasts
for the Imperial Fists. So much Ultramarine stories.
Like, yeah, Ultramarine's doing everything. Blood
Angels kind of only are just, like, their own
separate thing. It doesn't feel like they really
have got to do much important stuff. The other
problem is, like, Tycho has a short story. Raffen
has his own ombus, but no one remembers he exists,
which is a shame. Even though Dante and Fiston
are in them, they're in those comics, and no
one knows they exist. There's, like, a weird
divide between modern 40k. When I say modern,
I'm considering, like, Devastation of Baal modern.
yeah and then there's like retro where it's like
we're still figuring out what warhammer is and
they have a lot of that territory as well yeah
a lot a lot of their stories are more like again
the horrors heresy one they're like back loaded
towards the end of the like they their first
like solo stuff is in the middle of the horrors
heresy and then they're like the main feature
at the end because you know all the ones that
were present at the beginning they've all had
their stories the 40k stuff really only kind
of starts with what is like the tyranid arc leading
to the devastation of Baal and then essentially
events surrounding that after like their whole
40k narrative is surrounding them sort of low
-key fighting tyranids or in preparation for
fighting tyranids but yeah there's not the vote
we should say again we're talking like as someone
I think put right in the comments there's over
11 books and if someone said that's not like
that much most films or stories are not 11 books
so yeah but like that being said you can write
11 you can write a book that really says nothing
like just because volume doesn't mean doesn't
equal like amount of yeah a lot a lot happens
and they they get a lot of love but most of the
their stories essentially often focus around
their home world though yeah that's what i'm
getting the blood angels lord seems to be play
blood angels space marines doing miscellaneous
things. Well, their, their, their big thing is
we did that thing when we got all our successes
together, kind of like the first wall in the
war of beasts. And that was our version of that.
Like that's their thing. And then it's like,
Oh, we didn't die. That's good. Most of this
stuff is like with most space marine things is
like, Oh, they three companies were sent to blah,
blah, blah war zone. But that's most. like that's
most codex law this feels it feels easier to
like look at other space marine chapters and
see what they've like accomplished in the galaxy
and it's harder to see blood angels other than
them defending their own home world i guess armageddon's
big though because obviously dante everyone was
like oh my god it's dante there are stories where
they are they do feature as side characters and
other things like dante is when the salamanders
meet the what's his name tushan the chapter master
salamanders he's when he's newly appointed he
goes to meet dante and they're the ones that
bow to dante and the blood angels don't bow back
because they're like oh my god he's the legend
that's what i'm trying to say it's like if you
have the ultramarines and the only real story
arc the ultramarines had was the battle of mccraig
against the tyranids and nothing else and the
ultramarines would be a whole lot less interesting
right like i that makes sense As far as 40k goes.
But the Ultraman's have done a billion other
things in the overarching story, right? I think
the big elephant in the room with Blood Angels
is Dante is now overall commander of Imperium
Nihilus, who's also returned to Imperium Nihilus.
The Lion, who's in Dawn of War now. It's like,
oh, you're going to supersede the Primarch? Oh,
that'll go well. Okay. So I'm like, oh, is he
just going to get sidelined by the Lion, perhaps?
I don't know. Or if they make their, I have a
feeling that they make their own, like there's
a plot line, which is, you know, Imperium Secundus
has been revealed in whatever 40K and it's going
to bite Gilliman in the ass unless they make
a new Triumvirate, you know, the Lion, Gilliman
and Dante instead of the Lion, Gilliman and Sanguinius.
So again, like it's hard to tell because a lot
of the 40K stuff is always. It's 10 years in
the making. Or they could just do that with all
their chapter masters and leave the Primarchs
alone, but that's not allowed. Also, remember
that Njal Stormcaller has currently got a 100
% record for sussing out which Primarchs return
in what order. So, according to him, the Jagatai
is next. No, it's just not going to happen. Jagatai
then Correx. He was the lion when the lion came
back. Jagged Eye and Korrax are next. You know
what? It does make them infinite money. It's
got to be Leman Russ. I've only heard from Chapter
Master Valrak and Auspex Tactics that Leman Russ
is the one to return. I cannot trust them as
sources when it comes to this anymore. I have.
I'm going to have a bloody rant about how many
things they've like... said is going to happen,
and it's just not. And I'm like, I can't have
faith in it. Like the Total War reveal, and you're
like, oh, but he said. He said the thing would
happen. He said it. He lies to me. I promise
you. It's going to come out this week. I promise
you. Blood Angels make me think of Eldar, kind
of, where they're like the coolest army ever,
codex -wise. Like, you look at the codex and
their pictures and their models and their codex
lore, it's really cool. And then their books,
just like, I just don't, like, it's harder for
me to care for some reason. about like their
other story stuff in the but the books are really
the books are really good though yeah i know
i know i'm not saying that books are bad sorry
that i don't quite like books are good it just
feels like well a lot of them just like don't
matter for some i don't know why i don't know
why i feel like this it's just hard i mean definitely
matters a lot yes i think i think there's just
like a weird like warhammer's warhammer has a
unique problem where it's like You can have these
big bombastic stories, but it won't actually
move the needle of the story unless it's Cadia.
And so then you can be like, well, there's a
Blood Angels omnibus, but it doesn't matter.
Or you can be like, oh, there's a whole Iron
Hand series. Doesn't matter because no one's
read them anyway. I don't mind that though. It's
a galaxy size. Yeah, I agree. But like Devastation
of Baal, it's not like War of the Beast where
the orcs are on the doorstep of the Imperium.
Yeah. It's just the Blood Angels. Like it's just...
chapters i think that's slightly different because
war of the bees was intended to be like it isn't
multiple it's a huge giant series yeah it's like
the horrors heresy like multiple authors contribute
whereas this is just like you know one author
if it's due with neck cries you know with um
here's the guy who does it infinite and divine
um uh oh god uh i've forgotten his name robert
rath is it robert no no i think he has nick in
the name no it is robert rath is it yeah sorry
i think it places twice yeah but like those two
books can come out like or you know or twice
of the king come out and you can be like someone
could be like well what does that change about
the whole story but like it doesn't have to it's
just enjoyable no i know i'm not like i'm not
saying i think i'm too i'm thinking too spoiled
by necron lore because necron lore like huge
things happen in every single book that you read
and they have implications quite often to the
overarching setting and i've been listening to
too much like call and fabulous bile and stuff
like that but i don't know the thing is is even
with the devastation of barl it's not just one
book there's the one book there's the anthology
of short stories and there's two codec uh two
codec supplements with the shield worlds above
just two it's like it's like the badab war there's
like two of them but it's like no one's read
them i have but it's like yeah yeah i think i
just think of anarchy of the travelers though
but that's because yeah and he's got his own
short little novella in that anthology and there's
a bunch of and there's but they're also sharing
space with like the uh the tempest of scions
the sisters of battle flesh terrors like there's
a lot of like other stuff involved with that
as well and like there's a lot of there's a lot
of like there's a lot of stuff to that story
but it's just like oh there's one book and people
don't know that there are these other things
and it's because it's hard to find this amount
of warhammer lore like yeah i'm not trying to
hit on the blood angels i'm not trying to handle
the blood angels it just they did they have a
lot less like crazy moments that you think about
in the setting than things like black templars
and ultramarines and etc etc mephiston stopped
time once yeah okay that's not what i mean that's
not what i mean i think he means like what he
means like when i think of when i think of armageddon
i think about yarik and hell's reach i don't
think of a blood angels like at all i think oh
taiko died and that feels bad they're not in
them they're not they're not the novel focus
on those ones exactly that's what i mean yeah
yeah yeah that's fair that's fair you know i
think with that though because i don't know if
there's any more uh appreciate everyone who has
uh been a member and donating so far but i think
we had We have a new, well, the previous question
of the week, Colin, I think. We do have some
donations. Should we do them after the question
of the week? Yeah. Let me pull those up. What
are you looking forward to about biotransference?
This is on our Necrons episode. Indeed, and thank
you to the person who said I'm glowing from the
techless pregnancy in that comment section. DonkeymanUSA,
hashtag biotransference, I'd be able to create
a program that automatically takes everything
HorridHal says, add it to the supercut, and balance
the audio without my input. Wow. How convenient.
Nerdcasting40k, looking forward to reenacting
Man vs. Machine on a galactic scale. Hey, that's
a valid enough reason. Nice. Shout out to TF2.
Hell yeah. Top 10 games ever. And RarisPepe,
hashtag biotransference. Not sure this counts
as looking forward to, but biotransference is
clearly needed just to survive every time Eli
heads a stream. Eli does what? Heads a stream.
Oh, I understand. Because you're liable to age
or whatever, yeah. What's that Necron play where
it's like, is it for like the War in Heaven where
the full thing takes ten years? Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
He's making sure you're leaving with all the
details. That's pretty good. Did anyone have
any ideas from between us then? What would you
guys... What about... Was it hashtag rage? What
do you see? I meant for the next one. I meant
for the next one. I think I said I'm looking
forward to... I'm either Adam Smasher -ing myself
into what's happening. What? You laughed and
Andy was falling asleep. I was like, what? I
was thinking. Maybe just ball with your answer.
No, I said before, I'm turning myself into either
Adam Smasher, Grievous, or Rebecca. That's what
I'm looking forward to. I kind of have a... I
like the idea of being able to access memories
perfectly. So therefore you could revisit like
a really good one. And then you can just kind
of re again, like you can rewatch it almost.
And it's not, you know, as you know, as you say,
you get older, it kind of becomes things become
hazy or whatever. Whereas like if you were a
buyer transfers, you could basically recall everything.
Apart from... I see. Yeah, you lose all the pleasures
of it as well. Well, I mean, even the downside
of that is that you're also going to hyper -realistically
remember every embarrassing moment you've had
in your life. At least I'll have them. I guess,
but there's some memories that I... Please, get
up and go away. It's only embarrassing if you
feel embarrassed. You power through it, bro.
you just learn to power through also when you're
30 you don't you just don't care you couldn't
care less it's amazing you know what do you think
hal's never had a fun party is what i'm hearing
oh that's definitely not true if there's like
wild under the assumption that everyone's getting
biotransference otherwise i wouldn't want to
be physically immortal because i would suck but
if everyone is then i could just i could go off
with you know Wife and buddies and everyone in
Goekigo Crusade amongst the stars, reclaim the
dynasties, create the true Necron Empire in our
world. So Eli's saying he likes to genocide?
I mean, with physical, if it's like physical
immortality too, like non -aging, you can always
just throw yourself into a star whenever you're
done. True. Like, no, I'm deleting the backups
and leaving. i probably want to go the emperor
route i probably want to go the emperor route
and like uh at least like take however much time
it takes to fix my country and then go from there
damn only has ambitions for canada not the immortality
and he's like let's fix canada bro someone call
up nate fallout forthin whatever his name is
nanny what do you think I think I'd enjoy my
enormous necrodermis cock. Massive. Okay. Shiny.
I wouldn't do anything for you. No, I'd just
show it off at parties. Like that. Okay. Sexual
harassment without the pleasure. Turn my balls
off. We did have some donations. Oh, sorry, we
have to say the new question of the week. We
have a new question of the week, didn't we? I
think it was hashtag Black Rage. And it was,
what would you see when you fell to the Black
Rage? So the example is, you know, someone here
would probably not see Sanguinius. Colin would
see every character from Sword Art Online as
his true hell. What's his name? Kirito? I think
so. You would know, Colin. You would know his
name. How many seasons has that been? Someone
kill this man. Firing line, please. Actually,
I think Colin and Eli would start to see horror's
heresy books walking towards them. Slowly. I
know what I'd see. It'd be me. reliving Eli telling
me in Dota 2, Are you going too far forward?
You've got to pull back. I've almost got him!
That's not how you play the game. This isn't
fun! This isn't a fun game! Why is it so popular?
It's shit! I'd probably do it. I'd see Andy playing
Dota 2 and trying to teach him. It's the same
event. Like poetry, they rhyme. Shout out to
my brother -in -law who said the worst day of
his life is when we played Uno at my house. No,
no, no. We played Trivial Pursuit at my house
and it didn't end. He literally said it was the
worst day of his life. Wow. That's quite the
in -law. It was a torturous game. It didn't stop.
Oh my gosh, man. I think I would probably see
the Leagues of Wotan just growing, but they're
regular sized. The hate never ends for the Leagues
of Wotan. Bro hasn't even read their book and
he just freaking hates them. Other people are
having fun. I'm mad. Andy, did you read the book,
the Leagues of Wotan book? Did you read the book,
Hal? Did you? I haven't read the book yet. It's
on my list. I've got it. It's in my library.
You can at least read it before you hate it.
If all the bones read it and he said it was all
okay, then I'm like, hmm. That's like the biggest...
Imagine if someone was like, I'm the biggest
Lord of the Rings fan and I found the book mid.
So I'm like, I can't get my hopes up. I'll give
it a try. Shall we read the last of the donations?
Yes. It's a very generous film. Alexander McCabe
for a five. Gabriel Seth is the pitbull named
Princess in Pitbull named Princess versus Pitbull
named Spineater. Yes, I am. Big Macaque, thank
you for the $5. To answer the RG question, they
have the Sable brand, which makes them stick
to small groups and also even more violent. They
can break out of it, though. What does RG stand
for? Raven God. Oh, okay. Donkey Man USA for
another five bucks. Ideally, part one of the
Super Cup will be out in the next couple of months.
Amazing. Oh, my God. Colin needs to say this
out loud, not me. Gray Boss, thank you for being
a member for four months. A vibrating necrosis.
We've come full circle. Appreciate it. I do appreciate
the corgi and the lobster hat thing, though.
Nice. Another Colin one. Scum 34 for 10 bucks.
Colin, in your opinion of the new lore of Halo,
what's the worst edition? The Endless. Because
they did the Rise of Skywalker thing where they
just tried to pretend the previous movie didn't
happen because it was garbage and no one liked
it. Somehow Palpatine returned. Yeah, and the
end result is just nothing. The Endless from
Endless Space? I wish. Those are cool. When are
we getting the Endless Space sci -fi sit -down,
huh? One day. That's you, champ. Also, fellas,
really big one now. 50 Canadian. Thank you very
much. We love you. Thank you. That's like $5
trillion here in Canada. That's like four eggs.
Thank you very much. Good games, lads, against
the Orcs. Sucks that I missed it, but it is how
it is. Colin, have you tried Tides of Torment
yet? And which race have you tried? That's for
Warhammer DLC as it came out. Eli, who is your
main in Doja 2? Love you guys. Love you too.
We love you too. Thank you very much for this
$50. I've not actually tried it yet. actually
most excited for the Norsca rework, to be honest,
because it looks cool. And playing Norsca beforehand
was deeply unfun. Not deeply, but it was... Who
is your main in Dota 2, by the way? Why haven't
you played with me yet? That's a good point.
It's been years since I've played. Run, Andy!
I used to play... I think the most hours I probably
had on Pugna. uh just kind of loves to suck no
i doesn't like i think because i had at the time
when i last played it that was a good build for
him but um what's the vampire one the the night
stalker oh night night stalker um i can't remember
who else to be honest um i don't know it's been
ages man i don't i can't i can't recall it's
like 10 years for me literally that's good and
night stalker is really cool i never see him
do very good but he sure is no no but we some
sometimes sometimes we do good yeah i don't know
how character though character still is nice
stalker he's literally called nice stalker that
that's there you go lord crimes chat uh anyways
my my main and don't who is juggernaut he's my
favorite spin to win baby spin the win i also
love terrorblade uh we've been playing a lot
of phantom lancer lately and it's been going

hate that one my main was grim stroke that was
it it sounds funny when you say that yeah but
it is his name yeah it is what is bro's name

stuff uh but when house has stroke with anything
else it's just like you know immediately stroking
it yeah yeah appreciate it i've been wanting
i tried slark the other day I did okay, but we
lost. I missed one pounce and I literally lost
the game for us. I went like 14 and 3, but we
still lost. We've been gaming Dota 2 a lot. We
gotta stream some Dota freaking 2. And he's ready
to throw his head against the ceiling. Alternatively,
what if I suck start a shotgun? With that being
said, again, thank you guys for donating, for
watching, for all the new members, particularly
this member. Again, sorry, the... Fridays, obviously,
is the live, and then the remaster comes out
during the week. So if you want to catch the
remasters, or the live ones, you have to join
the Discord because that's where it's posted.
It still exists. It's in the Discord. So you've
got to join up there. And we'll see you guys
very, very soon. And just shout out really quick
to all the fine people who keep asking me, where
did my bed go? It's in another room. It's not
here. No one stole it. It's gone. No bed. He
doesn't sleep on the floor in beds anymore. He
sleeps like a vampire in the closet. And on that
note, bye everybody! Bye!
