1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,480
His mentor Mordred died in battle.

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:09,240
Helbert was like, Grimaldus, you are now the recluse arc of the Bellsreach Crusade.

3
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,240
Grimaldus was like, I don't have anyone to do that.

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,120
Oh, wow. And he kind of became recluse arc.

5
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:17,640
That sounds like a scene from Harry Potter.

6
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,920
Like, what's like the elf that's Dobby, but it's the other one.

7
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,320
You're a recluse arc, Grimaldus.

8
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:27,920
I'm a what?

9
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,800
Or a recluse arc, but I'm just Grimaldus.

10
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:35,760
Did you just turn that into a Hagrid Harry Potter reference?

11
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:57,440
Hello, everyone, and welcome to another episode of Law Crimes.

12
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,720
This is the podcast for Beginner to Expert.

13
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:07,720
For all the fans from just starting out in Warhammer all the way to those dedicated originals.

14
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,000
This is the perfect place for everyone.

15
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,480
I am Hal, and I'm joined by Eli.

16
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:13,480
Hello.

17
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:14,840
I'm joined by Colin.

18
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:15,840
Hello.

19
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,080
And Andy.

20
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:18,640
Hello.

21
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,280
We're all respective YouTubers within the Warhammer space.

22
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:23,960
And I pass over to Colin.

23
00:01:23,960 --> 00:01:28,280
Today, we are going to be talking about everyone's favorite.

24
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:32,720
Maybe not everyone's favorite, but enough people's favorite, Space Marine Chapter.

25
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,840
The angriest fellas on the block.

26
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,080
Hate everyone.

27
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,960
They're sometimes a bit rude, but that hasn't stopped everyone from loving them.

28
00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:41,280
The Black Templars.

29
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,200
No, no.

30
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:44,200
How dare you?

31
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,280
The Black Templars.

32
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:51,280
Today, it will be Andy and Eli taking the wheel.

33
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:55,600
So, why don't I pass it on over to Eli to take us off?

34
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:56,600
Thank you, good sir.

35
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:02,040
I will be doing the beginner section of the biggest chads in the entire Imperium.

36
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,040
Oh, yeah.

37
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,840
Yeah, practically correct in all ways, shapes, and form.

38
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,440
Anyways, let's get into it.

39
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,400
Let's get into it.

40
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:17,240
So the Black Templars are an Imperial fifth successor chapter created in the second founding,

41
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:21,760
which was the founding in which all of the first successor chapters were created alongside

42
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:28,360
the Crimson Fists and the Soul Drinkers and the other guys.

43
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:29,360
What's their name?

44
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:30,360
Oh, Executions.

45
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:31,360
Oh, yeah, okay.

46
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:39,160
Anyways, they were created out of necessity more than anything else, as Doran being the

47
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:44,720
giga-chad he is, was a big denier of the Codex of Stardust, but was being branded a traitor

48
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,760
and there was going to be civil war and it was going to be really, really awful, so he

49
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,000
gave in and he made his successor chapters.

50
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,640
They are perhaps direct evidence that the Emperor has achieved godhood, as he will discover

51
00:02:56,640 --> 00:02:59,160
his blessings upon them are very real indeed.

52
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:00,760
Lorgar was right.

53
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:01,760
Anyways.

54
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,840
Oh, I'll say that.

55
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,460
First Captain Sigismund was given the chapter.

56
00:03:08,460 --> 00:03:12,560
He was, to my knowledge, this might be Lorgar, I might have read this wrong, but he was the

57
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:17,760
first, one of the first chad believers of the Lictito Divinitatis, the little pamphlet

58
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,480
that said the Emperor is god, pretty much.

59
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:26,280
Along with this, he had a few issues during the heresy in his time, controlling his zeal

60
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,240
and emotion, which I mean, as an Imperial Fist, you're supposed to be very stoic all

61
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,760
the time, you know, very cool, very calm.

62
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,800
And overall, Doran had pretty much disowned him for this, saying like, you are no son

63
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,560
of mine, all that stuff.

64
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,680
It's very sad.

65
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,560
Captain Sigismund was the leader of the sword Templars of the Imperial Fists, and pretty

66
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,800
much acted independently during the Siege of Terra, just going around killing everyone.

67
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:50,800
He was pretty cool.

68
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,800
He beat Karn, even.

69
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:59,280
Anyways, Doran made him the first ever Emperor's champion, giving him the Black Sword.

70
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:04,120
He would later be given the duty of High Marshal to the newly created Black Templars chapter.

71
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:09,040
This new chapter was given all the most zealous and vicious fighters of the Imperial Fists.

72
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,960
Ever, so the coolest guys of the Imperial Fists, pretty much.

73
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:17,640
I mean, they literally were like, hey, Crimson Fist, like all the noobs, noobies, you go

74
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:23,400
to the Crimson Fist, and all the guys we really like, we could hang out with at a party, you

75
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:24,640
know, they're pretty chill.

76
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:29,120
You can go to the Imperial Fist OG chapter, but like all the crazy guys, they can go to

77
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:30,120
the Black Templars.

78
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,600
You make it sound like all the frat bros.

79
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,040
It's a party in the Black Templars.

80
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,080
Yeah, they're like, they're crazy.

81
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,280
All the crazies, they go to the Black Templars.

82
00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:40,640
We don't want to hang around with them.

83
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,480
It's more like a choir boy quasi, by the way.

84
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:44,480
Can we just check?

85
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:45,480
Have you met Deacon?

86
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:51,040
Deacon is like lighting candles and doing like push-ups at four in the morning.

87
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,200
What is wrong with him?

88
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,720
Those are the frat potties with the bardic count.

89
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,520
Bardic count.

90
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,880
Alright, alright.

91
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:06,120
So, ever since their creation, they have been on an eternal crusade, marking the longest

92
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:07,720
crusade in Imperial history.

93
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:13,320
Due to this, they are a fleet-based chapter and are very spread throughout the galaxy.

94
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,520
They are not codex-compliant by any means, because the codex is for nerds, and their

95
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,860
numbers have swelled far larger than most chapters.

96
00:05:20,860 --> 00:05:24,960
They do have some organization though, which the chapters generally separated into multiple

97
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:30,120
crusades, usually around three, give or take, and they're led by marshals who answer to

98
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:31,280
the High Marshal.

99
00:05:31,280 --> 00:05:36,000
Their captains are known as castellans and lead the fighting companies of the crusades.

100
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:41,100
They favor fire and close combat, assaulting the enemies of the Emperor with reckless abandon.

101
00:05:41,100 --> 00:05:45,000
They are extremely brutal fighters who would make Khorne himself blush.

102
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,360
Not only this, but they are highly honorable as well, in some people's opinion.

103
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,280
Maybe not the Xenos that they're slaughtering, but I mean, you know, those are the Xenos

104
00:05:53,280 --> 00:05:54,280
anyway, so.

105
00:05:54,280 --> 00:05:55,280
I quite like this.

106
00:05:55,280 --> 00:05:56,280
Alright, alright now.

107
00:05:56,280 --> 00:05:57,280
I quite like this.

108
00:05:57,280 --> 00:06:00,280
It's not like a dating profile.

109
00:06:00,280 --> 00:06:05,080
You know, they are so zealous, make Khorne blush.

110
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:06,080
Oh man.

111
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,960
This is Emperor-E Harmony, but Emperor Harmony.

112
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,840
E Imperium.

113
00:06:11,840 --> 00:06:13,720
E Imperium.

114
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:14,720
There you go.

115
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:22,120
They hold very much a large amount of disdain for stealth and long-range tactics, and suicidal

116
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:26,760
charges of vengeance are not an uncommon sight within the chapter, and due to their very

117
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:32,400
large numbers and their constant replenishment rates, they can usually afford to employ these

118
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,020
tactics.

119
00:06:34,020 --> 00:06:39,020
Their recruitment process brings individuals in known as Neo-Fights, and these new recruits

120
00:06:39,020 --> 00:06:42,840
must serve on the front lines alongside a veteran if they are to fully ascend to the

121
00:06:42,840 --> 00:06:44,360
ranks of the Black Templars.

122
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:49,040
It is dangerous and often fatal, but those who survive will have been baptized by fire,

123
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:50,880
and their courage will be proven.

124
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,960
So they don't just start out as fresh little babies.

125
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,320
Straight into it.

126
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:57,320
Yes.

127
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:02,440
The Templars abhor mutants, which includes psychers, having none in their ranks but for

128
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,800
astropaths and navigators.

129
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,320
But they do not actually hate these specific psychers, because they think that they're

130
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:10,320
blessed by the Emperor.

131
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:17,440
Yeah, there's a weird discrepancy where they don't like librarians, but for some reason

132
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:22,080
they're like, oh, astropaths, they are linked to the Emperor despite all the incest.

133
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,080
Like, yeah, they're fine, it's okay.

134
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:30,920
Astropaths being the ones with the third eye in their literal forehead, and they help guide

135
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:35,480
the warpshits.

136
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,400
They're like, that's fine, but no, the rest of you guys, oh, not a fan.

137
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:40,960
I do have a small question.

138
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:47,800
Say if, you know, they say that they despise mutants, like, to what level would it...

139
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:55,560
Say if someone perhaps had an organ such as a pancreas that maybe did not work.

140
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:56,560
Oh no.

141
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,400
I mean, that's not a mutation.

142
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:04,320
That's more of like a thing that'd be like, brother, I will graft you some new organs

143
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:09,000
and I will put you into the ceramite of the Imperium, or a dreadnought.

144
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,040
It's more of if Colin grew like a pancreas out of his head.

145
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,720
That might be some problems.

146
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,000
Oh, wow.

147
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:25,080
They would kill me for being a mutant just for being weak and needing medicine to live.

148
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,640
I don't know.

149
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,640
Don't hit your head too hard and get a bump.

150
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,360
That'd be more of an iron hand thing that'd be like, we can give you a side genetic pancreas.

151
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,200
Oh, wow.

152
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,800
Or the Eldar simply sing one into existence.

153
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,400
Hey, no talking about the Eldar, this is Black Templar Day.

154
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,400
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

155
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:51,120
Dirty Xenos, don't get to living around here.

156
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,000
Got bullied.

157
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,800
The Black Templars are very good at bullying Xenos and mutants and people who look different

158
00:08:58,800 --> 00:08:59,800
than them.

159
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,280
We'll debate that at some point, I think.

160
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:07,040
Anywho, I'll read their creed, I suppose.

161
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,880
Their creed is, I hope I'm not stealing a quote here that was going to be used later,

162
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:16,120
but it's, suffer not the unclean to live, uphold the honor of the Emperor, abhor the

163
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:20,320
witch, destroy the witch, and accept any challenge no matter the odds.

164
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:21,320
Exactly.

165
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,880
We'll go into those specifically later, but for now that's a good rundown.

166
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,800
It's a good way to establish the mindset.

167
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,320
We'll read them out in specific detail.

168
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,800
It'll be fun.

169
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,880
Where is our, where is big boy Sigismund now?

170
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:41,480
Well unfortunately, during the first Black Crusade, he tragically died at the hands of

171
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,320
Abaddon the Dispoiler.

172
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,920
Spoilers for later on this video, sorry.

173
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:50,480
Spoilers with Dispoilers.

174
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:56,200
He did put up a good fight, and he probably would have won if it were not for the powers

175
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,400
of the Chaos Gods, plot armor.

176
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:05,040
But they're now led by High Marshal Helbert at the moment, and they showed very, very

177
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,280
large disdain for the newly made Primaris Marines.

178
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,880
I think they actually killed them, but I'm not sure on that.

179
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:17,760
This is a contentious point because a specific Crusade fleet didn't like the Primaris because

180
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,600
they were like, oh, this isn't in keeping with the Emperor.

181
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:27,040
But the overall Black Templars do not coincide with this belief.

182
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:31,080
It's one of the reasons why the Codex, this is an interesting case study of the Codex

183
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:38,240
Astartes where literally within the single largest non-compliant chapter, you have a

184
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,120
disagreement of belief.

185
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:45,040
And this is, I know a lot of people make memes about, oh, Codex, oh, Space Book, blah blah

186
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:46,040
blah.

187
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:51,840
But it's a prime example, a Primaris example, if you will, of why it's necessary because

188
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:57,160
you literally have a chapter that are divided with belief on, should we have Primaris?

189
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:58,160
Should we not?

190
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:04,160
And a splinter of the chapter literally murdered all the Primaris.

191
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,360
And it's like, crazy.

192
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:13,400
For those who are into Warhammer, the Primaris Marines are the updated, if you ever see pictures

193
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:18,680
or of like the little miniatures, they are the, let's say, new kids on the block in terms

194
00:11:18,680 --> 00:11:24,320
of they are a new generation of Space Marines that have entered the 41st millennium.

195
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:31,720
And they are kind of a clash of, we say, new, bigger, stronger Marines, and then these older,

196
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,480
firstborn, slightly smaller Marines.

197
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,200
And this is the new Marines.

198
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:40,960
If you want specifics on that particular story, the book is called The Throne of Light.

199
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:47,320
And to do a quick rundown, they literally butchered the Marshal who's in charge of the Crusade

200
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,800
fleet, and all the Primaris reinforcements.

201
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,920
I'm not exactly sure on the custodians that were assigned to deliver like this.

202
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:55,920
They died too.

203
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,000
Like Amazon Prime, here's your Primaris.

204
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,120
It's like, yeah, I'm not sure about the custodians.

205
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:05,960
They literally killed the guy in charge and all the Primaris.

206
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,600
And I don't, I think that's pretty sus.

207
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:18,040
This becomes, this is a prime example of why, in a way, many of us love grimdark stories.

208
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,280
Just the actual frustration.

209
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:28,280
We'll get into much more detail about why the event of the Primaris' death is so frustrating.

210
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:36,200
But it's a fantastic kind of insight into this chapter's, like, just utterly zealous

211
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:43,560
beliefs that they will murder their own brethren.

212
00:12:43,560 --> 00:12:49,960
And it's a mindset that we're going to delve into incredible detail in a moment.

213
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:56,040
I mean, all I'm saying is, Carl used traitor gene seed for the Primaris.

214
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,200
And the Primaris answered to Mars before they answered it.

215
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,320
I'm just going to say, Dantioch was an OG.

216
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,320
He was an OG.

217
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:10,600
If you're loyal but you're from a traitor legion, it's fine.

218
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,640
We all love a traitor legion loyalist, it's fine.

219
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,960
Saltarvod's biggest shed in the Horus heresy.

220
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:17,960
Yes, one of them.

221
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:25,880
There'll be a story we'll tackle one day and it's an absolute banger.

222
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,000
We are probably getting off track.

223
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:32,360
There are more chapters who would have disliked Primaris brains as well, like the Dark Angels,

224
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,080
arguably even worse.

225
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,560
Flesh terrors.

226
00:13:35,560 --> 00:13:39,920
Yeah, Dark Angels literally mind control them, which is kind of funny.

227
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:47,160
But anyways, I should probably hand things over to Andy to get into the specifics.

228
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:51,200
Perhaps he'll let me talk about the Emperor's Champion, the foolish unit of the Black Templars.

229
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,080
Okay, thank you very much, Eli.

230
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,080
Well, okay, so let's start from the very beginning.

231
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,160
So where did the Black Templars originate?

232
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:06,880
So we all know and love the Imperial Fists, the seventh legion of the Adeptus Astartes,

233
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:08,600
Primarch Rogal Dawn.

234
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:12,640
These are the stalwart defenders, the bulwarks of the Imperium.

235
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:19,120
So whenever anyone thinks of Space Marines, we all think of one specific pinnacle, I would

236
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:20,120
say.

237
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:21,880
I think that's fair to say guys, but...

238
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:22,880
Erebus.

239
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:23,880
...pinnacle Space Marine.

240
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:24,880
No, not Erebus.

241
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:25,880
Sorry.

242
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:26,880
It's his heresy.

243
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:35,840
When we think of the biggest Chad in the Warhammer Astartes lexicon, we all think of Sigismund,

244
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:36,840
right?

245
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:41,680
I mean, this isn't a Chapter Master Valorak video.

246
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:48,320
Sigismund is arguably the most potent, is the best word I can use to describe it, the

247
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,320
best Space Marine possibly ever.

248
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:58,680
I think Valorak is, to be fair, onto something with Sigismund here, but I can see why.

249
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:05,120
I mean, I'm not a simp for the Imperial Fists or anything, but Sigismund is like, Big Sig,

250
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:10,280
Siggyboy, is possibly the greatest Astartes that will ever be.

251
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,680
Let's just do a quick head count, right?

252
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:18,680
So Sigismund is the first captain of the Imperial Fists, so he's the best of the best of one

253
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,960
of only 18 legions because we don't know what happened to the other two.

254
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:28,560
So of 18 legions, he's one of 18 of the best of the best legions.

255
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:35,000
Not only that, at the Siege of Terror, he's literally appointed the very first Emperor's

256
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:36,600
Champion.

257
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:42,480
Literally when Rogal Dawn, Sanguinius and the Emperor of Mankind himself go to attack

258
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:48,640
Horus Lupical on the Ventral Spirit to end the Horus heresy, he is appointed as the Emperor's

259
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:49,640
Shadow.

260
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:56,240
He's appointed as the single most important combative figure on terror.

261
00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:00,200
Like, there's no one else who has that pedigree other than a Primarch.

262
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,480
Like, Primarchs could probably...

263
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:06,480
Hey, Siggy, smack, smack, clapped, but...

264
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:07,480
That's a Primarch.

265
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,360
That's a Primarch, yeah.

266
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:13,080
And so Sigismund, he has a well-deserved...

267
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:14,480
Pretty much other than...

268
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:19,800
I'm sure the Night Lords fans are going to go, J.G.Severetari, no, no, no, doesn't count.

269
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:24,200
But other than them, Sigismund is pretty much the undefeated Astartes.

270
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:30,120
So what they do at the Siege of Terror is they give him a panoply of war, which is white

271
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:31,120
and black.

272
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:35,540
It adorns him with the Templar Guard.

273
00:16:35,540 --> 00:16:40,740
So he literally has the same color scheme as the Ecclesiarchy, although the Ecclesiarchy

274
00:16:40,740 --> 00:16:42,720
doesn't exist at this point to that extent.

275
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:47,200
And they literally say, you share the same color scheme as the chaplains of the many

276
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,100
legiones Astartes.

277
00:16:49,100 --> 00:16:54,000
So there's one point in one of the books where Sigismund has a clash of conscience and he

278
00:16:54,000 --> 00:17:01,760
goes, I'm a bit guilty that I've relinquished my yellow Imperial fist color scheme for the

279
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:06,120
black and white of the Emperor.

280
00:17:06,120 --> 00:17:10,600
And the Ecclesiarchy, the chaplains say, you bear our mark.

281
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:14,400
So you're the closest to the Emperor of anyone else.

282
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:21,760
Not only that, his armor is called the Armor of Faith, and he is given a weapon called

283
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:22,760
the Black Sword.

284
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:28,880
Now, the Black Sword will go into a little bit later, but it's literally a very, I think

285
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,720
we can all agree, a special weapon.

286
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:36,360
There's an air of mystery, particularly around it as well.

287
00:17:36,360 --> 00:17:43,440
It's not quite Nathaniel Garrow's weapon, where it's possibly literally Excalibur, but

288
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:48,000
it's a similar weapon where it's like, oh, this is a special weapon.

289
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,520
And he literally spends the entirety of the Siege of Terror roaming the battle, literally

290
00:17:52,520 --> 00:18:00,520
strolling through all the conflicts, finding the biggest, baddest chaos guy and being like,

291
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,920
oi, on a fight.

292
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:03,960
And that's Sigismund.

293
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:09,840
He literally kills dozens of chaos champions during the Siege of Terror and beats them

294
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,500
all without breaking a sweat.

295
00:18:12,500 --> 00:18:18,040
This is the guy that basically, well, I think, was it Hal you mentioned earlier?

296
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,920
He clapped Khan in the new Siege of Terror book?

297
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:22,920
I think Eli mentioned that.

298
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,160
Warhawk spoilers, sorry.

299
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:26,160
Well, tough.

300
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,080
It's like, there's a law crime right there.

301
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:36,800
But he claps Khan the Betrayer, the most vicious Astartes that's ever lived.

302
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:41,940
He literally holds his own against Jago Sevatarion until he cheats.

303
00:18:41,940 --> 00:18:48,160
He's arguably a better swordsman than Corswain of the Dark Angels or Raldoran of the Blood

304
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:49,160
Angels.

305
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:55,800
He is quite possibly the best quote, mortal warrior in the Imperium.

306
00:18:55,800 --> 00:19:05,320
I think the part I enjoy, if everyone is semi-new to Warhammer, the reason that Sigismund is

307
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:11,960
truly held in such, I think maybe to all of us, in such high regard is the fact that Sigismund,

308
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:17,560
although he has been transformed into an Astarte, and so he's been given new organs, so he's

309
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,340
obviously been upgraded.

310
00:19:19,340 --> 00:19:21,960
He is utterly human.

311
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,640
He is not a Psyche.

312
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:32,040
He is, he has nothing truly special about him other than the skills, other than what

313
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,040
you and I would have accessed.

314
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:39,000
Something that developed over 200 years of war during the Great Crusade.

315
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,000
It's entirely him.

316
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,200
So you're saying he's the personification of finesse.

317
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:44,200
Yes.

318
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,800
He would have done great in the Emperor's Children.

319
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,720
Oh, he's a disgusting man.

320
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,920
Get out of here.

321
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,440
But no, so yeah, let's just continue before any more heresy occurs.

322
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,600
You could say he's the Phoenix Lord of the Black Templars.

323
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:04,200
I can tell this is gonna be an ongoing problem, isn't it?

324
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:05,200
Right, right, right.

325
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:06,200
Come on, calm down.

326
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:11,760
So, Sigismund is clapping traitor forces left and right during the Siege of Terror.

327
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:19,040
Oh no, Emperor of Mankind has been mortally wounded by the Warmaster, but, it gups, he

328
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,720
has just killed the Warmaster.

329
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:22,720
Big win.

330
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:29,400
So, the traitor forces flee to the Eye of Terror, the loyalists retreat and they fortify

331
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:30,400
the Throneworld.

332
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:35,040
Some are a bit late, like Giliman and the Lion, and everyone kind of pulls their resources

333
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,280
and they go, what do we do now?

334
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:42,560
Now, most, there's a brief point at the end of the Horus heresy where pretty much all

335
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:47,640
the loyalist legions go and pursue the traitors and they try to destroy as many as they can

336
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,440
before they escape.

337
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:54,720
But some of, pretty much most of them at this point, that remain from that point, escape

338
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,240
into the Eye of Terror.

339
00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:02,080
And as we all know, the Eye of Terror is not a understandable commodity, it's a tricky

340
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,640
place to even observe.

341
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:09,560
So pretty much all the loyalists go, they're driven them back to the Eye of Terror, job

342
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,440
done, and they retreat.

343
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,080
But not Sigismund.

344
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,880
Sigismund literally waits.

345
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:21,200
And whilst Robute Giliman drafts the Codex Astartes and says we need to like consolidate

346
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:27,480
the legions so that they aren't these massive war machines that are beholden to only their

347
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:32,880
Primarch, such as Roguel Dorne, who is of course the Primarch of the Imperial Fist.

348
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:39,000
Side note, Roguel Dorne wasn't a fan, as I think we've mentioned briefly, of the Codex

349
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:40,000
Astartes.

350
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,360
He said, oh, you know, this isn't a good idea.

351
00:21:42,360 --> 00:21:50,680
But he had to relent when basically his forces possibly almost started the next heresy.

352
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:57,260
And so he went, oh, okay, hold on, my own forces have assaulted and destroyed Imperium

353
00:21:57,260 --> 00:22:01,960
forces in a naval warfare situation.

354
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,760
I'm kind of in a bind, I have to comply to the Codex Astartes.

355
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:12,120
But Roguel Dorne would draft the Last War protocol where he would have all his successors

356
00:22:12,120 --> 00:22:16,040
come to the aid of a centralized authority if they needed it.

357
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,820
Either way, the main point is, like we said before, Imperial Fists, they're broken down

358
00:22:19,820 --> 00:22:26,240
into OG Imperial Fists, Crimson Fists, the Executioners, which is the chapter master

359
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,800
of what was his name, Rann?

360
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:29,800
Fafnir Rann.

361
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:30,800
Fafnir Rann.

362
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,360
I actually, I did check, we did commit a lore crime.

363
00:22:33,360 --> 00:22:34,360
Executioners are third founding.

364
00:22:34,360 --> 00:22:35,360
Oh, my words.

365
00:22:35,360 --> 00:22:37,400
He was just a soldier kissing Crimson Fists.

366
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:41,680
Well, the thing is, Fafnir Rann served during the Siege of Taris, I think in my heart.

367
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,800
He was the second founding boy.

368
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:45,800
I love Fafnir, he's got a great-

369
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,800
We'll leave it as a lore crime, I think.

370
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:49,800
That's our fair lore crime.

371
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,000
But yeah, so let me just, you can confirm this, Eli.

372
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,520
So we've got the second founding, we've got Imperial Fists as a progenitor, then we've

373
00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:03,560
got Crimson Fists of the most youthful, most kind of naive of the Imperial Fists, and then

374
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,600
we have the Black Templars, who are the most pious.

375
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:08,400
Is there anyone I'm missing?

376
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,280
Soul drinkers, those cool purple guys.

377
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:11,280
Soul drinkers.

378
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,400
Oh, of course, right, yeah.

379
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,400
They're a whole other topic we'll talk about.

380
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,920
That'll be a soul drinker video.

381
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:19,160
Were they, weren't they?

382
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:20,720
Okay, well, either way.

383
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:28,360
So the Black Templars are formed as a chapter, and they are formed of the absolute most zealous,

384
00:23:28,360 --> 00:23:36,320
pious, and let's not forget Sigismund himself, when he was on terror, met Euphrates Kira,

385
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:42,360
who was a Remembrancer, who was the quote, first living saint of the Imperium, who, who

386
00:23:42,360 --> 00:23:46,800
worshiped the Emperor as a god and saw him as a divine entity.

387
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:55,680
And Sigismund himself had a clash of conscience where he said to his Primarch Rogaldorn, so

388
00:23:55,680 --> 00:24:02,000
I saw two futures where one I would die hopelessly and one I would be a martyr, and I don't really

389
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,720
want to like attack Horus during this big expedition.

390
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:12,200
I'd rather like stay on terror for my own like selfish pride, I suppose, and be a martyr.

391
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:16,480
And Primarch Rogaldorn was like, excuse me, is that religion I smell?

392
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:20,760
And for a while Rogaldorn really distrusted Sigismund.

393
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:25,280
He saw him as a, a remnant of a bygone age.

394
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:30,240
However, before the Siege of Terror, he realized Sigismund is my top boy.

395
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:31,960
He is literally my best warrior.

396
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:36,040
He's literally alt-less as far as loyalty is concerned.

397
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,600
He should be the quote, Emperor's champion.

398
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:43,560
And of course Rogaldorn is stricken with grief at the end of the Siege of Terror.

399
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:51,140
He's literally the one who, who carries Sanguineous' dead body to terror after the big, big attack

400
00:24:51,140 --> 00:24:55,680
on the invincible reason, not the invincible reason, the Stark interest, for the vengeful

401
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,540
spirit of Horus Lupicaeus' flagship.

402
00:24:58,540 --> 00:25:04,680
He literally carries the Angel's body to terror to be interred within a golden sarcophagus.

403
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:10,080
And he also observes his gene, his own father, the Emperor of Mankind, interred upon the

404
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:11,080
Golden Throne.

405
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:12,440
So he's pissed off.

406
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:17,560
And Sigismund shares that anger because he's literally been loyal, he's been true to his

407
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:18,880
cause.

408
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:24,280
And no matter how many champions of chaos he kills, he's still not done enough in the

409
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,040
eyes of the Emperor.

410
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:34,840
So Sigismund, unlike all other successor chapter masters, he waits outside of the Eye of Terror.

411
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:42,480
He literally just kind of stays there and watches until one day this guy called Abaddon

412
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:47,240
the Despoiler comes out of the Eye of Terror.

413
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:51,040
Until this guy called Abaddon the Despoiler comes out of the Eye of Terror.

414
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,280
And Sigismund's got a fleet ready.

415
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,080
And he goes, gotcha.

416
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,480
And he goes and attacks them straight away.

417
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,160
He boards their vessel.

418
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:03,720
And despite being really good at combat, he's now about a thousand years old.

419
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,680
He's waited so long he's become old.

420
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:13,000
And because of the warps, trickery, and trajectory is messing with time, Abaddon's still pretty

421
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:14,400
much in his prime.

422
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,100
Plus he's been empowered by Chaos Undivided.

423
00:26:18,100 --> 00:26:21,080
So Sigismund and Abaddon duel.

424
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:28,160
It's a really cool fight, but in the end Sigismund makes a sacrificial blow where he impales Abaddon

425
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:32,000
the Despoiler through the chest with the Black Sword.

426
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:38,080
But it costs him being literally cleaved in half by the Talon of Horus, the inherited

427
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,040
weapon of Abaddon the Despoiler.

428
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:44,600
And he's literally, his legs are cut off, his torso is on one side, his legs are on

429
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:45,600
the other.

430
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:49,240
And Abaddon the Despoiler, very grievously wounded, will survive.

431
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:53,720
But Sigismund deals a blow that he was hoping would be fatal, but isn't.

432
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:57,480
Do you remember his last words as well?

433
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,000
I haven't got a script in front of me.

434
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:00,000
Let me see if I can recite it.

435
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,000
I do, I think I remember it right here.

436
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:03,320
Right, let me see.

437
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:04,520
I haven't got a script in front of me.

438
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:05,520
Let me see if I can do it.

439
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,880
Go ahead, if he has it as well.

440
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:09,880
Okay, here we go.

441
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:19,600
You will die as your weakling father died, soulless, honorless, ashamed.

442
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,680
I forgot one of the lines.

443
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,120
There's a line between them.

444
00:27:24,120 --> 00:27:26,160
He literally stabs him through the chest.

445
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,160
Weeping, I think is.

446
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,520
Weeping, weeping, honorless, weeping, ashamed.

447
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:41,880
It's such a, if anyone has seen spoilers for some of the books, but it's such a fantastic

448
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:47,600
moment of what I particularly, the part if you are new to Warhammer or if you're an existing

449
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:55,040
fan of Warhammer, there's something about the transformation of Sigismund from this

450
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:59,240
just stalwart man who wavers, unfortunately.

451
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,040
And then he finds out, like we said earlier, the strength.

452
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:07,120
He becomes renewed when he dawns the black and he becomes, I think my favorite part when

453
00:28:07,120 --> 00:28:14,880
I was looking into Sigismund and what you learn about him in the book Warhawk is the

454
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:20,080
inner transformation of him is the beginning of the black Templars.

455
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:26,400
And it's something, I think it was, if anyone here has, I don't know if it was exactly in

456
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:33,320
his fight with Khan, but the man, sorry if I'm taking too much, but it's a fantastic

457
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:38,800
moment if anyone wants to read it and it shows you exactly like his inner transformation

458
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:47,120
and then his kind of venom at the end at Abaddon is just so satisfying.

459
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:56,040
To be fair to our boy Abaddon, he kills Sigismund and he literally puts his body and the black

460
00:28:56,040 --> 00:29:03,180
sword into a coffin of swords and sends it to Holy Terror when he exits the Eye of Terror

461
00:29:03,180 --> 00:29:08,880
and inscribed on the sword, I believe he says, we are coming, which is the dawn of the black

462
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:10,240
Legion.

463
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:14,800
So yeah, like a huge moment in the Warhammer lore.

464
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,800
And it's like Abaddon, oh, Dick move killing Sigismund, but at least he had the honor to

465
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:24,040
not be like, I'm just going to like impale Sigismund's body on the back of my, you know,

466
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,280
desecrate him, yeah, I'm not going to desecrate him.

467
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:31,920
I'm not going to like drag him through the streets of wherever I live, Peckham possibly.

468
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:37,560
It's like, I'm going to just like, I'm going to send him back respectfully because he attacked

469
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:42,760
me as a warrior and he did a good like, anyone else impaled Abaddon the Despoiler through

470
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:47,360
the chest with like several inches of the black sword?

471
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,360
Deming so.

472
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:51,360
Phrasing.

473
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,320
Very intentional phrasing.

474
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:57,640
Gotta give Abaddon credit too, that's probably the most metal way you can give a message

475
00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:58,640
possible.

476
00:29:58,640 --> 00:29:59,640
Yeah.

477
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:07,720
While I was putting a bandaid on your like, impaled chest like, oh I need some painkillers.

478
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:13,680
It's truly a, it's a worthy, you can tell it's, particularly within the Warhammer setting,

479
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:19,040
chaos is just, it's obviously the bad guys, they are so evil, but to show the amount of

480
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:24,120
respect that Sigismund had earned in his, I guess a thousand, is he a thousand years

481
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:25,120
old by the end?

482
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:29,960
I think he's about, I think it's the 32nd millennium, so he's close to if not a thousand

483
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,040
years old, so he's not in his prime.

484
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:33,840
He is an old Astartes.

485
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:40,120
His body has been wrecked by a thousand years of war and he's still, he's still almost one.

486
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:46,320
And he doesn't have, so he doesn't have the chaos power, juice, whatever, keeping him

487
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:47,320
powerful and young.

488
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,520
He doesn't have that- the warp steroids.

489
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:50,520
Yeah.

490
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:51,520
He's on the Royds boys.

491
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:55,320
And you're not, have it under the spoiler.

492
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:56,680
Oh my god.

493
00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:03,280
So before I continue, would someone like to read a quote?

494
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:04,560
The Black Templars.

495
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,600
Sure, send us over one.

496
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:10,520
Okay, so, Colin, I think this is one for you.

497
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:15,520
So here is the, from the Library of Devotion, would you please read this out for us?

498
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:16,680
I would be happy to.

499
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:20,040
Oh, this is a hell of a quote.

500
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,400
Very Shakespearean, go for it.

501
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,680
Where there is uncertainty, I shall bring light.

502
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:26,760
Where there is doubt, I shall sow faith.

503
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,400
Where there is shame, I shall point atonement.

504
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,280
Where there is rage, I shall show its course.

505
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:35,840
Where my word is the soul, shall be as my bolter in the field.

506
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:36,840
Man, that is-

507
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,080
That's so high, the Library of Devotion.

508
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:43,880
They are pretty, you can imagine that's probably chanted a thousand times.

509
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:49,880
Well, it's funny you should mention that, because the Emperor's children, are they

510
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:50,880
open for us?

511
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:51,880
Shit.

512
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:52,880
I did a bit of a fraud in the beginning.

513
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,880
Oh, I know, he likes it too, he can snipe you.

514
00:31:55,880 --> 00:32:02,680
Because here's what I was going to say, the Black Templars literally worship the Emperor,

515
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:09,080
somewhat similar to not only the Emperor's children in that they practically would like

516
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:16,400
to go out to embody the Emperor, but also in a similar strange way, the word bearers

517
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:24,440
who would literally beseech people and say, God is here, he's called Big E. So in a strange

518
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:30,040
way the Black Templars are like a mix of both the Emperor's children and the word bearers

519
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:31,520
and the Imperial Fists.

520
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:32,520
It's a weird conglomeration.

521
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:34,520
War God won the horse hair, see.

522
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:35,520
War God won.

523
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:36,520
War God won.

524
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:41,520
I can imagine chapter master Valrak, if he ever watches this, it'll be utterly ashamed

525
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:48,080
of how compared the Black Templars to the word bearers and Emperor's children.

526
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:52,080
Well they've got the swordsmanship skills of the Emperor's children, and they've got

527
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:56,800
the zealous religious piety and stuff of the word.

528
00:32:56,800 --> 00:33:01,040
They are literally a conglomeration of the two with a bit of Imperial Fists peppered

529
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:02,040
in.

530
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:03,720
So yeah, I'll fight for it.

531
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,800
Me and Valrak, create a clash, we'll go.

532
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,920
If you'd like a third dose of heresy, they've got the rage of the world eater.

533
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:11,920
And they have Valrak.

534
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:17,320
Valrak being a coronate thing, though it's like, no, it's all about Big Bobby G. No,

535
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,120
Big E. It's all about Big E.

536
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:20,120
Jimmy Space.

537
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:21,120
Jimmy Space.

538
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:28,420
So yes, and as you say, the Black Templars are experts at melee combat.

539
00:33:28,420 --> 00:33:30,200
They love a good sword.

540
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,280
They love a good, like, they're not really like axe boys.

541
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:34,880
They're not really chain blade guys.

542
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,200
They like a good, rigid power sword.

543
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:41,920
Like here is a sharp blade, stick it in the enemy, yum, yum, yum.

544
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:46,520
But they also, not to the same extent that the Salamanders, love a Flamer.

545
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:51,280
And much to the chagrin of Salamander's board game players, they have the new updated Flamer

546
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:52,280
model.

547
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,660
So there is that as well.

548
00:33:54,660 --> 00:33:57,900
But yeah, they're a fleet based chapter.

549
00:33:57,900 --> 00:34:03,040
So the interesting thing about the Black Templars in particular is, you know how I said about

550
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:06,120
how they kind of bend the rules of the Codex Astartes.

551
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:10,160
They literally bend it into like a unicycle.

552
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:13,400
Like they bend the rules so much.

553
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:17,000
They're like, oh, a thousand Astartes in a chapter.

554
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:21,800
Well how about our chapters, quote, our crusades.

555
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,080
So records vary.

556
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:28,680
Some believe that there are only 6,000 Black Templars.

557
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,120
Some believe there's 16,000.

558
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,480
In a way, they're taking the piss.

559
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:39,560
And the way they get away with it is they say, hey, Bobby G, Robute, Gilliman, we have

560
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,880
a thousand Astartes per crusade.

561
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:46,400
So each crusade has a thousand Astartes.

562
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,920
Let's say they have four crusades going on at one time.

563
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:49,920
That's 4,000 Astartes.

564
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:55,520
That's four times the manpower of any Codex compliant chapter.

565
00:34:55,520 --> 00:35:01,480
And the most conservative estimates suggest that they have more Astartes than the two

566
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:06,320
main non-compliant chapters, which are the Space Wolves and the Grey Knights.

567
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:12,800
Like literally, feral dog boys or demon killers of the universe.

568
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:14,240
Like those are who you up against.

569
00:35:14,240 --> 00:35:15,600
Like those guys.

570
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:20,000
And you have possibly more than both of them combined.

571
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:21,000
That's a big chapter.

572
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:24,000
Too fair as well though.

573
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:33,000
So, in a way, you're more likely, as an Imperial citizen, on any world to meet.

574
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:38,680
To say meeting an Astartes is rare within the Warhammer universe, we're talking about

575
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:42,680
a million worlds with, I think, the estimations.

576
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:43,680
Trillions of people.

577
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:44,760
Yeah, with trillions of people.

578
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:51,980
The absolute rarest, they are truly the Emperor's angels, in terms of they are, it is like seeing

579
00:35:51,980 --> 00:35:52,980
an angel.

580
00:35:52,980 --> 00:35:57,360
Literally, like on the posters, pointing, going, I want you to kill Xenos.

581
00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:00,440
Like they are the poster boys, because they're the most numerous.

582
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:09,480
The idea of it being, the most likely Emperor's angel you'll ever meet, is this enormous,

583
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:18,760
dawned in black armour, just utterly, extremely zealous Marine that is just, I am utterly,

584
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,960
the Emperor is in fact a God.

585
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,440
I am completely devoted and I am-

586
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:27,720
Guy who's literally like, have you prayed five times today to the Emperor of mankind?

587
00:36:27,720 --> 00:36:28,720
No.

588
00:36:28,720 --> 00:36:29,720
I'm gonna kill you.

589
00:36:29,720 --> 00:36:30,720
I'm gonna get stabbed.

590
00:36:30,720 --> 00:36:31,720
Yeah.

591
00:36:31,720 --> 00:36:34,880
I've reserved a bolt shell just for you, heretic.

592
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:39,720
And the thing is, the zealously does get in the way, to an extent.

593
00:36:39,720 --> 00:36:42,160
To give you an idea, we all know about the Death Watch.

594
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:48,560
So the Death Watch is the kill teams of the Ordo Hereticus, which specifically go out

595
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,520
into the universe to destroy aliens.

596
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:56,400
And they draft startes from every chapter of the Adeptus' studies.

597
00:36:56,400 --> 00:37:03,860
And whilst the Black Templars are very, very reputable and good warriors, they don't get

598
00:37:03,860 --> 00:37:08,840
on well with other startes to the most extent.

599
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,800
Like we've all seen Hell's Reach, I'm assuming.

600
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:12,800
Yes.

601
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:13,800
Fantastic animation.

602
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:19,920
There's a great scene where the Black Templars under Merak Grimaldus meet with the Salamanders,

603
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,000
who are literally polar opposites.

604
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:27,640
It's like, here you have the most dogmatic, zealous, bigoted legion, arguably.

605
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,800
I think that's the best way to encompass them.

606
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:36,800
I think if you are, I guess, new or, as a big fan of Warhammer already, I think the

607
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:42,120
best way you can encompass them is they are like, warrior bigots.

608
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:46,520
Warrior bigots fighting for humanity.

609
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:50,160
And they're literally having a discussion amongst themselves of like, the Salamanders,

610
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:51,680
they're saving civilians.

611
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:52,680
Madness.

612
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:58,800
It's the nicest legion with the most quote unquote evil legion of the Astarte.

613
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:03,320
Although I think people say that as a meme, but I feel like what they call the...

614
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:04,320
Marines malevolent.

615
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:06,320
Marines malevolent are worse.

616
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,280
I love you Dread Annon.

617
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:09,960
If you're watching this, I love you.

618
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:10,960
Love you Dread Annon.

619
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:11,960
We love you.

620
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:17,480
But yeah, so basically, yeah, they don't get on well with like, librarians in the Death

621
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:18,560
Watch.

622
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:22,960
They don't get on well with a lot of things, but they are very good warriors.

623
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:26,080
They used to, and here's the interesting thing.

624
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:33,640
When the Black Temporars were founded, they did have librarians, but over time they've

625
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:36,720
just sort of disappeared.

626
00:38:36,720 --> 00:38:40,320
And no one can exactly point out why.

627
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:46,440
But one of the reasons that's pointed to is that when the Emperor of Mankind said,

628
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:49,960
hey, Edict of Nikea, no psychers.

629
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:54,440
When Black Templar historians look over the past, they've seen that and they've said,

630
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,360
oh, that's a holy edict.

631
00:38:56,360 --> 00:39:02,360
That's literally our God saying, you cannot have psychers in the Codex Astartes or in

632
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,600
the Legiones Astartes.

633
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:10,000
Therefore, God has literally told us, no librarians.

634
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,080
And that's one possible reason.

635
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:15,480
So they don't have any.

636
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:20,720
To give you an idea of how zealous the Black Templars are, tech marines of the chapter,

637
00:39:20,720 --> 00:39:28,960
traditionally in the Codex Astartes, they paint their armor red with an arm or a vambrace

638
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:32,020
or a shoulder guard depicting their chapter.

639
00:39:32,020 --> 00:39:36,860
So they'll be painted all red with like an ultramarine's pauldron, for example.

640
00:39:36,860 --> 00:39:44,640
The machine spirits of the Black Templars are so zealous, if you paint it too red, it

641
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:47,520
won't work.

642
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:51,640
Armor will literally say, that's heresy.

643
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:57,400
And it will literally not function if you paint too much of it, not in the colors of

644
00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:58,400
the Black Templars.

645
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:05,280
That's like the kind of, the thing that makes Warhammer almost so unique is because of,

646
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:12,360
so that if you are new, the warp itself, that kind of mirror dimension of madness, the sentient

647
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:21,480
thought realm that lies side by side with our own, its belief manifests within Warhammer.

648
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:27,280
So the Black Templars almost, when we speak of machine spirits, we literally think the

649
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:33,120
actual machine, the Black Templars believe so zealously in, I guess, the purity of their

650
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:40,240
own armor that it's therefore, to color it, is therefore almost like heretical.

651
00:40:40,240 --> 00:40:44,040
It's on the edge of heretical and it manifests within the universe.

652
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:48,280
Like I said, the armor may not work, which is insane.

653
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:51,080
It's almost, it's unbearably insane.

654
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:56,080
Oh, I have a quote that might be good for that.

655
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:57,920
Colin, do you want to read this one as well?

656
00:40:57,920 --> 00:40:58,920
Your sultry voice.

657
00:40:58,920 --> 00:40:59,920
Oh, why not?

658
00:40:59,920 --> 00:41:08,520
All of the Black Templar quotes are just metal.

659
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:13,400
Anyway, as our bodies are armored with adamantium, our souls are protected with loyalty.

660
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:16,920
As our bolters are charged with death for the Emperor's enemies, our thoughts are charged

661
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:17,920
with wisdom.

662
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:20,000
As our ranks advance, so does our devotion.

663
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:21,360
For are we not space marines?

664
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:24,800
Are we not the chosen of the Emperor, his loyal servants unto death?

665
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:31,720
This makes me think back of what I would have narrated in Church Place.

666
00:41:31,720 --> 00:41:32,720
Maybe the tone was a bit different.

667
00:41:32,720 --> 00:41:39,640
The tone was a little bit more forgiveness and that kind of thing.

668
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:43,680
Just thinking, Eli, do you want to read this one as well?

669
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:45,680
As you wish, Lord.

670
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:48,960
Where there is uncertainty, I shall bring light.

671
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,400
Where there is doubt, I shall sow faith.

672
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:54,160
Where there is shame, I shall point atonement.

673
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:56,600
Where there is rage, I shall show its course.

674
00:41:56,600 --> 00:42:00,280
My word in the soul shall be as my bolter in the field.

675
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:03,320
I think we've read that one already.

676
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:05,280
Oh, sorry.

677
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:07,120
Double-serving.

678
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:10,720
Double down on the devotion.

679
00:42:10,720 --> 00:42:17,440
Now, how is a Black Templar's chapter divided?

680
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:23,400
Well, before we get to that, let's just say that Battlecry is no fear, no pity, no remorse.

681
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:26,040
They are a fleet-based chapter.

682
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:30,240
So unlike most chapters of the Adeptus Astartes, they do not have a homeworld.

683
00:42:30,240 --> 00:42:33,600
They literally live on their main ship.

684
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:38,520
And their main ship is an interesting one because it is called the Eternal Crusader.

685
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:41,640
Now, for anyone who enjoys Primarchs...

686
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:43,600
That's all of us.

687
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:44,600
Yeah, big fans.

688
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:45,600
Yeah, who doesn't?

689
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:52,240
Every one of the 20 Primarchs was gifted a Gloriana-class battleship.

690
00:42:52,240 --> 00:42:57,960
The only things bigger than this are the Abyssal ships from the Emperor's children and the

691
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:00,400
Emperor's own flagship and the Phalanx.

692
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:07,200
So like, these are pretty much, with a couple of exceptions, the biggest void ships in the

693
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:08,400
Imperium.

694
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:12,760
And there was one or two, depending on the Legion, for every Primarch.

695
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:19,600
Now, when the Emperor found Rogaldorne on his homeworld of Inwit, he met Rogaldorne

696
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:25,600
and Rogaldorne was like, bruh, I've already got this massive pre-Imperium ship called

697
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:27,440
the Phalanx.

698
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:30,440
And this ship is massive.

699
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:36,400
So massive that to this day, the Imperial Fists use it as their base of operations.

700
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:41,400
So like, the Phalanx is arguably the biggest ship in the Imperium.

701
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:46,040
So in that regard, Rogaldorne was like, hmm, I've already got a flagship.

702
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:47,520
I've got the successor chapters.

703
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:49,480
I love you, Siggy.

704
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:52,000
Here's my Gloriana class flagship.

705
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:56,920
So the, other than the Ultramarines who have the McCragg's honor, which is Rabute-Gilliman,

706
00:43:56,920 --> 00:44:02,960
the Primarch Rabute-Gilliman's flagship, the only Legion, not Legion, the only chapter

707
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:09,240
who has a Gloriana class battleship in service in the current day 41st millennium is the

708
00:44:09,240 --> 00:44:10,280
Black Templars.

709
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:19,000
They literally have a joint, well, joint second biggest warship in the Imperium, plus a bunch

710
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,600
of bonus ships just in case they need them.

711
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:25,440
So this kind of makes sense later on, but like, would you like to hear some of the names

712
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:27,880
of the other ships they have under their sway?

713
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:30,360
Is it going to scar my dreams?

714
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:33,800
Go for it, go for it.

715
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:37,400
So here's one.

716
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:41,400
One of their biggest, like these are kind of like their biggest ships other than the

717
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:43,080
Eternal Crusader.

718
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:46,480
So number one, Abhorrence.

719
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:47,480
Just that?

720
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:49,200
Just Abhorrence.

721
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:51,360
Jesus Christ.

722
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:59,600
Number one, Revenant, Light of Purity, Hammer of War, Divine Fury.

723
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:00,960
And this one's quite nice.

724
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:04,160
They also had a ship called Blade of the Seventh Sun.

725
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:09,200
I'm not sure if that's an Iron Maiden reference, but Blade of the Seventh Sun, the Black Templars

726
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:11,320
had as like a strike cruiser.

727
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:16,160
And when they helped the Celestial Lions during the aftermath of the Third War of Armageddon

728
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:20,840
and the Celestial Lions were decimated, which are also a successor chapter of the Imperial

729
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:24,880
Fist, they were like, bro, you can have this ship as your flagship.

730
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:29,560
And then that's now, I think it's still in operation, that's now the Celestial Lions

731
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:30,560
flagship.

732
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:35,880
So that's kind of nice that like, even though they're like xenophobic, murderous, nasty

733
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:38,520
boys, they still have some kindness in a way.

734
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:40,000
Well, they're honor.

735
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:41,520
I would say honor, wouldn't they?

736
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:48,720
They have honor for their brothers in a sort of, yeah, that sort of respect between fellow

737
00:45:48,720 --> 00:45:53,320
warriors of the Imperium, but everyone else can get shafted, I guess.

738
00:45:53,320 --> 00:46:03,360
Well, so to give you an idea of how they're organized, so every company is formed into

739
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:05,600
fighting companies.

740
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:11,960
So to give you an example, every fighting company is given a unique name.

741
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:18,360
In current eras, for example, fighting company under the Castellan Brocus is called The Righteous.

742
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:23,160
Fighting company after Bardolph is Bearers of the Sacred Bones.

743
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:29,800
And they have a, they vary slightly, but for example, The Righteous, you have a Castellan,

744
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:36,000
a Banner Bearer, Tech Marine, Apothecary, some Initiates, some Neophytes, Intercessors,

745
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:39,640
Land Raiders, Predator Tanks, Destructors, Repulsors, Razorbacks, Rhinos, Dreadnoughts.

746
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:46,360
So every company has a few armored vehicles, it has some specialists, and it has a bunch

747
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:47,360
of Astartes.

748
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:52,400
Now, you also have, for example, the Training Worlds.

749
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:56,320
So the Black Templars go through a lot of Astartes.

750
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:57,320
More than most.

751
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:58,320
That's an understatement almost.

752
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:06,120
Yeah, they're the, they're probably, probably, they're definitely the biggest chapter.

753
00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:10,280
They've got so many Astartes, and they put them through the meat grinder.

754
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:14,940
And so, unlike, because they're a fleet based chapter, they don't have just like a world

755
00:47:14,940 --> 00:47:18,840
like the Blood Angels have Baal, the Space Wolves have Fenris.

756
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:22,600
They don't just have like a world where they just go back to this home world and get them.

757
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:23,920
So they have Training Worlds.

758
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:28,720
And so when they conquer a world, they appoint a Castellan, which is the equivalent of like

759
00:47:28,720 --> 00:47:35,920
a captain of the chapter to keep and ward over the keep that they build on the conquered

760
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:38,200
worlds and they recruit from there.

761
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:45,320
And to give you an idea, the Training Worlds that we have on record are Arborosa IV, Ployster,

762
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:58,440
Fergax, Kilhaven, I like the sound of that, Lilliamundi, Pergatius III, and Solemnus.

763
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:03,880
And here's the thing though, like when I was reading up about the Black Templars, I've

764
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:09,600
never really found like very sufficient reason why this makes sense.

765
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:15,520
Like according to what I've read, they only selectively recruit.

766
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:19,200
Maybe it's just because they have so many worlds, but according to what I've read with

767
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:24,600
sources, they literally have aspirants compete to be the new Black Templars and then they

768
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:27,600
only pick a select few of them.

769
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:34,000
So from records it says, the Black Templars are like, we only recruit a couple of initiatives

770
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:35,000
a year.

771
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:40,760
I'm like, you churned through a lot of Templars.

772
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:47,840
I would surmise that because when we talk about Astartes within Warmer, we forget how

773
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:53,720
they are utterly like, they are literally the one in the million in terms of...

774
00:48:53,720 --> 00:48:59,520
And it's also always, you know, the actual tragedy of when even just one dies is because

775
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:01,800
the amount of resources and training and-

776
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:03,560
They literally have a million wells.

777
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:08,240
Well, it's also, yeah, a million, if you have over a million, you know, the Empyrean, the

778
00:49:08,240 --> 00:49:13,400
vastness of it and you know, a million wells, they can almost afford to be that selective

779
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:20,160
because you can imagine like just to live up to, for each neophyte joining this, you

780
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:24,720
know, this legion, it's almost like a legion at this point, is there with this chapter,

781
00:49:24,720 --> 00:49:30,640
they have to, they are essentially embodying who Sigismund, you know, all the way back

782
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:31,640
to the beginning of them.

783
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:38,680
They are trying to embody that level of superhuman, you know, not necessarily superhuman, but

784
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:41,560
that level of the cut above the rest.

785
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:47,960
And so therefore, I could imagine why the selection process is so just, I guess, short

786
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:54,600
and it's so hard to get in because you really need the, you're trying to make, you know,

787
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:58,680
the greatest, the most zealous, the most, you know, tactically gifted.

788
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:02,080
I can imagine that, you know, go ahead, so go ahead.

789
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:03,880
They want the cream of the cream of the crop.

790
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:09,000
If there's any sign of weakness, you are not allowed into the Black Templar Club.

791
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:12,520
I imagine they probably kill the other recruits too, who don't make it.

792
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:16,000
It's warhammer, I don't know if that's true, but it's warhammer.

793
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:17,200
I've not heard anything.

794
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:21,880
It's not like iron hands where it's like, you're a servitor now, but like maybe, I'm

795
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:22,880
not sure.

796
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:24,560
I feel like it would be too much of a waste.

797
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:30,400
They probably become like serfs because like learning of like, is it Caleb Aaron, who's

798
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:34,000
in the Death Guard during the Horus Heresy, he fails to be a Death Guard, so he becomes

799
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:42,220
a chapter serf and he becomes Nathaniel Garrow's, like, his ward where he, yeah, he's like,

800
00:50:42,220 --> 00:50:44,360
he looks after his weapons and stuff.

801
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:49,840
I don't know about that in regards to the Black Templars, but like, maybe.

802
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:55,880
All I do know is that every recruit in the aspirants that exceeds, they have to be approved

803
00:50:55,880 --> 00:51:00,160
by the Keeps Castellan and the chaplains and the apothecary.

804
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:03,080
So they're like, okay, are they faithful enough?

805
00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:04,440
Are they healthy enough?

806
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:06,160
And do they have the fighting spirit?

807
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:12,600
And then every aspirant who becomes a part of the Black Templars becomes a neophyte.

808
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:15,960
And there's a weird ranking structure with the Black Templars because here's how it goes.

809
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:21,120
So neophytes, they're the novices, they're untrained, their pauldrons are blank white

810
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:24,080
with the heraldic cross.

811
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:25,800
That's all they have.

812
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:31,840
Every neophyte is mentored by a battle brother of the Black Templars.

813
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:38,160
So they go into battle as a pair and the so-called initiates, the rank and file of the Black

814
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:41,680
Templars tutor them and mentor them into battle.

815
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:50,320
Now, if a neophyte dies during the trying, the initiate, the mentor will avenge his death

816
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:51,800
or die trying.

817
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:57,640
And if the initiate, AKA the mentor dies, then the neophyte will be tutored by another

818
00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:03,400
initiate but will also strive to avenge his mentor.

819
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:08,480
So there's an interesting thing with the Black Templars where when they make squads,

820
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:11,880
they're not divined by a captain.

821
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:18,760
They literally form bands of friends or comrades and they go, I like to fight with, let's say

822
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:24,480
we were Black Templars and I was like, oh, I want to fight with Eli and Colin and Hal.

823
00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:26,400
I'll go and join them.

824
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:28,020
That's how they decide how to do it.

825
00:52:28,020 --> 00:52:30,060
They don't have overarching structures.

826
00:52:30,060 --> 00:52:35,720
They go, I like to fight with so-and-so and they form a band of brothers from that, which

827
00:52:35,720 --> 00:52:41,920
is quite interesting as an Asatis chapter.

828
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:47,200
It makes me think of the first year of high school going, where am I going to sit at lunch?

829
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:52,160
The poor new guys in the Black Templars, like, who are my friends?

830
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:53,160
What's my clique?

831
00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:56,840
Do I have to start, where's my new slang?

832
00:52:56,840 --> 00:53:00,880
To start fitting in as quickly as possible.

833
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:04,600
The other interesting thing about the Black Templars is they have no sergeants.

834
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:11,040
They do not have anyone in charge of each squad because they function as a cohesive

835
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:12,640
whole.

836
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:20,000
The only promotion from neophyte to initiate is Sword Brethren and Sword Brethren is basically

837
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:21,640
the first company.

838
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:27,060
We're talking about the elite company, the first company, the best of the best.

839
00:53:27,060 --> 00:53:32,400
Every Crusader host obviously has their Sword Brethren, but it's a very high honor.

840
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:40,560
For example, Recluseok Grimaoudos of the Black Templars was the youngest ever Astatis to ascend

841
00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:43,400
to become a member of the Sword Brethren.

842
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:48,440
Other than that, the only rank after that is Castellans, which are the equivalent of

843
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:50,440
captains or company leaders.

844
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:57,560
They lead the 100 strong, 10 different squads per Crusader host.

845
00:53:57,560 --> 00:54:03,520
If you have say a thousand Astatis in a Crusade, the Castellans, there's 10 of them.

846
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:10,400
They lead a hundred Astatis each in the battle companies and they're led by the Marshals.

847
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:13,880
The Marshals are in charge of each Crusade.

848
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:16,760
Buck stops at the Marshal.

849
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:20,640
I'm leading a Crusade, shut up, I'm in charge.

850
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:22,200
That's the Marshals.

851
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:28,080
In charge of all of them is the High Marshal, Sigismund, who we spoke of earlier, was the

852
00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:34,200
first High Marshal, which is the equivalent of chapter master of the Black Templars.

853
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:41,440
Other than that, you obviously have your chaplains, your Recluseok, who is the High High Chaplain,

854
00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:44,080
tech Marines and apothecaries of the Legion.

855
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:45,080
Are we all following?

856
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:46,840
That's all not too bad.

857
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:54,560
I had an interesting thought about when you mentioned the idea of them being paired up

858
00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:56,680
with other members.

859
00:54:56,680 --> 00:55:01,840
Because that's obviously in Warhammer, that's actually quite a large divergence, almost

860
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:05,000
a theoretical divergence from the Codex Astatis.

861
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:11,880
The interesting part of that is, I wonder if that plays into the idea of that when, I guess,

862
00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:17,720
they bond them in this way to each other, so that when one dies, there's almost a level

863
00:55:17,720 --> 00:55:18,720
of revenge.

864
00:55:18,720 --> 00:55:26,480
Or yeah, just the neophytes, the initiate, there's literally records of a mentor dying

865
00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:33,600
and his initiate going on his own mini-Crusade to kill the orc who killed his mentor, or

866
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:35,160
whoever.

867
00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:39,960
There is more than any Astatisition I can think of, there are bonds of brotherhood which

868
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:44,600
meld the chapter and make them really strong.

869
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:45,600
I can't think of anything.

870
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:48,160
They're kind of redeeming a little bit.

871
00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:54,440
But also, you can see how it plays into their zealotry, because there's nothing more, I

872
00:55:54,440 --> 00:56:03,200
guess, rage inducing than to see someone, a brother die on the field.

873
00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:05,400
I can imagine that.

874
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:11,200
The structure of their own chapter is designed to increase their own zealotry, which is frightening.

875
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:13,760
What happens to zealotry?

876
00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:17,600
Eli, would you like to read this quote for me, please?

877
00:56:17,600 --> 00:56:18,600
Yes, sir.

878
00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:22,640
Let a wave of repugnance from the enemy wash over you.

879
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:24,340
Let hatred fill you.

880
00:56:24,340 --> 00:56:27,800
Hate is good, for our goal is a human galaxy.

881
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:32,720
We are called by the Emperor with a sacred duty to conquer it in his name.

882
00:56:32,720 --> 00:56:35,800
That's our boy Kramaldis himself.

883
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:39,080
He's like, yeah, it's just about us.

884
00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:42,520
What's that thing from where it says, let the hate flow?

885
00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:48,480
It definitely touches upon that idea.

886
00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:54,880
I think it's almost because the part I always loved, if you are into Warhammer, if you're

887
00:56:54,880 --> 00:57:01,360
someone who's a big expert fan of the Black Templars, you'll see how this, within the

888
00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:06,440
41st millennium, the idea of the grim dark setting is that it's a perversion and it's

889
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:10,480
a kind of humanity is very much at its worst.

890
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:16,000
We're all pretty much, I guess, in agreement that humanity in the 41st millennium sucks.

891
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:22,760
The thing is, I love how even in that context, you get people like Sigismund, who like, yes,

892
00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:29,980
he's an angry boy, but that thing was like harsh times make heroic people.

893
00:57:29,980 --> 00:57:34,840
In a weird way, there are elements you see in the characters of Warhammer 40k where you

894
00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:38,360
go, oh, they're like from a deplorable chapter and blah, blah, blah.

895
00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:41,320
And yet they have qualities which are really admirable.

896
00:57:41,320 --> 00:57:43,120
You go, they're loyal.

897
00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:44,640
They are like courageous.

898
00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:45,640
They are.

899
00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:49,920
And that's the weird thing about 40k, I suppose, where you go, wow, this character is really

900
00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:51,400
cool and likable.

901
00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:56,480
Ah, but they live in 40k.

902
00:57:56,480 --> 00:58:01,120
I think the interesting part of it is the black, I guess it's the way I've always viewed

903
00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:02,120
it.

904
00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:06,680
And I can sometimes see why if you ever spoke to someone who is a huge fan of black Templars,

905
00:58:06,680 --> 00:58:13,520
they're kind of, they've become the warriors that this disgusting modern timeline needs

906
00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:14,720
them to be.

907
00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:19,960
Because when you are truly facing against, when we say the word nightmare, like I don't

908
00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:28,880
think that even, like the word nightmare doesn't, we can't register how awful it truly is.

909
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:29,880
Even like chaos as well.

910
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:33,320
You know, got all Eli with his chaos.

911
00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:34,320
You're disgusting man.

912
00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:35,320
You both like Empress.

913
00:58:35,320 --> 00:58:36,320
You guys.

914
00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:37,320
No, no.

915
00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:40,320
Eli, you're too nice to like Empress children.

916
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:42,320
You're too nice, man.

917
00:58:42,320 --> 00:58:46,120
That's what I've been told a lot of times.

918
00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:47,120
Canadian sensibilities.

919
00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:53,640
But I think I like the idea of them being, they are when you're like fighting, it's

920
00:58:53,640 --> 00:59:00,480
why the idea of like Sigismund fighting Khan is so almost poetic because the beautiful,

921
00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:05,280
I guess for me, the beautiful thing about the Cedars Terror in particularly itself is

922
00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:11,200
that I cannot for the life of, I try to remember Khan's famous large words to Sigismund.

923
00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:15,600
I think it was, I'm not as broken as you.

924
00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:17,200
I think it was the other day.

925
00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:19,360
Yeah, that's exactly it.

926
00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:25,840
It's a fantastic line because it shows you, like even my point is, will be about how the

927
00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:27,840
modern day black Templars have changed.

928
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:35,880
But the idea is like Sigismund himself was 200 years in the great crusade and is in his

929
00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:37,720
good old yellow armor.

930
00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:40,120
And he was kind of a stalwart man.

931
00:59:40,120 --> 00:59:44,640
And then when we reach the end of the siege of terror, he is just this, he's become so

932
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:50,920
hateful that he turned into something where he was almost apathetic towards the end.

933
00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:56,720
I don't know what's, it's like he reaches that Zen moment in what's the siege of terror

934
00:59:56,720 --> 00:59:57,720
book, is it Warhawk?

935
00:59:57,720 --> 01:00:00,160
Yeah, he scares Khan.

936
01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:02,720
Khan is like worried about him.

937
01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:08,160
It's such an interesting part for if you are a fan of the black Templars, you can kind

938
01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:14,360
of see how the hate is almost like again, like many things in politics itself.

939
01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:19,720
It's like a cycle and it comes all the way back around and then Sigismund.

940
01:00:19,720 --> 01:00:24,160
I will speak about the Wildeaters in a second, but continue what you're saying.

941
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:33,520
Sigismund, he becomes so hateful that it turns into cold apathy where that cold apathy is

942
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:41,680
almost, it's where it's the beginning of the corruption of the Imperium because it's a

943
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:46,000
corruption where it lies in I'm apathetic to these people and it's based on, this is

944
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:49,120
the beginning of, I guess, the religious sense of it.

945
01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:56,360
Not that always that is evil, but it's that nice twist where Sigismund doesn't hate at

946
01:00:56,360 --> 01:01:02,800
some point chaos because they are so far beneath him because he is so zealous, because he is

947
01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:07,440
so zealous that he cannot hate something so minuscule.

948
01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:12,240
And it's a nice contrast to see the modern Templars, which are almost like they're not

949
01:01:12,240 --> 01:01:15,400
quite at his level yet, but they're on that path.

950
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:16,400
It makes me think.

951
01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:17,400
Sorry, Colin, you go.

952
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:18,400
Go ahead, Colin.

953
01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:22,400
Okay, this is a really, it's an anime comparison.

954
01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:23,400
I love it.

955
01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:24,400
It's Dragon Ball.

956
01:01:24,400 --> 01:01:25,400
I'm in a nice speech.

957
01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:26,400
I don't know, fantastic speech there.

958
01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:27,400
I'm sorry.

959
01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:31,240
I'm sorry to follow with this.

960
01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:33,240
It's Dragon Ball, if that helps.

961
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:34,240
No, do it.

962
01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:39,640
It's in one of the newer movies, do you have, okay, so you know, Vegeta, the, I don't know

963
01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:40,640
how much.

964
01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:41,640
Yeah, it's Vegeta and then Frieza.

965
01:01:41,640 --> 01:01:45,120
It's in the movie where Frieza comes back.

966
01:01:45,120 --> 01:01:49,200
Frieza is just trash talking him as he always does.

967
01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:55,000
And usually Vegeta is, the man trash talks so hard he dies and he'll still call you from

968
01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:57,000
beyond the grave to call you a coward.

969
01:01:57,000 --> 01:02:01,240
I think I permanently hear like, Kakarotis.

970
01:02:01,240 --> 01:02:07,400
But in that movie, Frieza keeps trash talking him and Vegeta, he's just so angry that he

971
01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:08,840
doesn't say anything.

972
01:02:08,840 --> 01:02:10,560
He just beats the snot out of him.

973
01:02:10,560 --> 01:02:11,560
Like I know, I'm sorry.

974
01:02:11,560 --> 01:02:14,400
Sorry to follow that comparison up with anime.

975
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:17,480
I think that crystallizes it perfectly.

976
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:22,200
It's a, that's the level I think, at least for me, that's I've always seen them.

977
01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:26,520
It's why they're almost, the Black Templar's like, so they are the warriors you need them

978
01:02:26,520 --> 01:02:27,800
to be at the right time.

979
01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:32,480
But they are, there is something deeply dark and scary about them.

980
01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:36,440
That intimidation only adds to the bad ass.

981
01:02:36,440 --> 01:02:40,360
I think I can see why good old chapter master Valorak shouting.

982
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:42,520
I'm a big fan of him.

983
01:02:42,520 --> 01:02:46,040
I can understand why he enjoyed it so much.

984
01:02:46,040 --> 01:02:48,760
The cold rage made me think of that.

985
01:02:48,760 --> 01:02:49,760
My apologies.

986
01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:51,720
Do you guys agree?

987
01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:55,600
Like, do you think, I might be like talking way off.

988
01:02:55,600 --> 01:02:57,880
No, I think you're pretty much on it.

989
01:02:57,880 --> 01:03:02,280
He loses himself kind of, almost in the siege.

990
01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:03,280
Unhuman.

991
01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:10,080
It's, you know, to be human is to be in touch with your emotions and then he just becomes

992
01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:11,080
a thing.

993
01:03:11,080 --> 01:03:12,880
He literally is a weapon.

994
01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:17,600
He's not, that's why he's almost, what's the words of Khan again?

995
01:03:17,600 --> 01:03:19,840
It says, I'm not as broken as you are.

996
01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:21,080
I'm not as damaged as you.

997
01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:26,840
And I think that perfectly is a, you know, that it, you know, Warhammer law is fantastic.

998
01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:30,120
I think that's, you know, a fantastic piece of writing.

999
01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:35,320
Well on that note, Colin, would you do me the honor of reading this is quote?

1000
01:03:35,320 --> 01:03:38,320
Oh, I see why you threw that one to me.

1001
01:03:38,320 --> 01:03:42,360
See the first two words.

1002
01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:46,800
Kill aliens and warp upon filth wherever you find them and whatever circumstances you find

1003
01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:47,800
them.

1004
01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:51,760
Such as thing as tolerance for such as them, as far as the emperor is concerned for high

1005
01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:52,760
martial Geralt.

1006
01:03:52,760 --> 01:03:53,760
The prayer of repugnance.

1007
01:03:53,760 --> 01:04:00,320
Just the thing I was, I was reading that quote and you're like, yeah, he's kind of detached

1008
01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:02,160
and he's just like honed in.

1009
01:04:02,160 --> 01:04:07,040
And the thing was, Hal, you mentioned about like the, the world eaters and Khan.

1010
01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:10,720
Well, here's a fun fact about the black Templars.

1011
01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:16,320
The black Templars have a bunch of relics and traditions and a couple of them are chain

1012
01:04:16,320 --> 01:04:18,800
related calm down.

1013
01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:24,920
So for example, it's changed back in his box.

1014
01:04:24,920 --> 01:04:28,040
For example, number one, they have these things called chains of devotion.

1015
01:04:28,040 --> 01:04:32,600
So when they're going to battle, they have chains attached to their bolters and swords

1016
01:04:32,600 --> 01:04:36,800
and weapons and they literally bind their weapons to their hands so they can't drop

1017
01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:37,800
them.

1018
01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:42,600
And this was originally a custom from the world eaters when Sigismund used to dual Khan

1019
01:04:42,600 --> 01:04:48,440
and his friends in the fighting pits on the conqueror, the Gloriana clash flagship of

1020
01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:49,960
the world eaters.

1021
01:04:49,960 --> 01:04:54,880
And there's also a chain called the chain of zeal and the chain of zeal is interesting

1022
01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:59,640
because it's literally welded to an armored like grieve or glove.

1023
01:04:59,640 --> 01:05:05,600
So the person who is given the quote honor of the chain of zeal physically can't take

1024
01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:10,880
their, their like combat gloves off because it's welded to their weapon.

1025
01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:14,640
And there is massive shame if you ever remove it.

1026
01:05:14,640 --> 01:05:18,280
So like, imagine you go to bed one night, you're like, I'm, I'm going to start.

1027
01:05:18,280 --> 01:05:22,760
He's only need to like sleep once a week, but still you're like, I'll take off my armor.

1028
01:05:22,760 --> 01:05:27,280
It's a bit heavy, but I can't take my glove off because it's literally bolted to my heavy

1029
01:05:27,280 --> 01:05:30,280
belt.

1030
01:05:30,280 --> 01:05:35,360
I'm going to lie on bed with my heavy bolter on my chest because it's welded to a stuffy

1031
01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:38,920
just in case someone tries to like attack me in my sleep.

1032
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:41,400
So they are literally always armed.

1033
01:05:41,400 --> 01:05:46,440
The idea of the fact that we just spoke about this incredibly dark and zealous, like in

1034
01:05:46,440 --> 01:05:51,800
a journey and then these guys who can't take their gloves off when they're sleeping.

1035
01:05:51,800 --> 01:05:56,560
They're literally like, you're always on the clock snuggling their bolters.

1036
01:05:56,560 --> 01:06:01,760
That is like, I just, in my head, I just picked that up being like just the mild, the mild

1037
01:06:01,760 --> 01:06:05,720
inconvenience being like, yes, this makes me more zealous to the emperor because of

1038
01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:06,720
the mild inconvenience.

1039
01:06:06,720 --> 01:06:11,280
Imagine trying to go to bed and you're literally linked to a chainsword.

1040
01:06:11,280 --> 01:06:13,000
Like how does that work?

1041
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:14,000
Oh, every Thursday.

1042
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:15,000
How do you not?

1043
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:16,000
So I prick myself.

1044
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:18,360
I rolled over in bed and now I stabbed myself in the leg.

1045
01:06:18,360 --> 01:06:19,360
God damn it.

1046
01:06:19,360 --> 01:06:21,880
You know, that just seems really impractical.

1047
01:06:21,880 --> 01:06:24,360
But yes.

1048
01:06:24,360 --> 01:06:28,040
So would you like to know about some more relics of the chapter?

1049
01:06:28,040 --> 01:06:29,040
Tell us straight away.

1050
01:06:29,040 --> 01:06:32,360
We need, we need to know, but we cannot sleep without these relics.

1051
01:06:32,360 --> 01:06:34,320
I want more metal names.

1052
01:06:34,320 --> 01:06:38,920
Well, I've, I've picked a few, I haven't picked all of them, but I've picked a few.

1053
01:06:38,920 --> 01:06:42,680
So for example, there was a tree fold artificer armor set.

1054
01:06:42,680 --> 01:06:46,840
The black Templars have there's the armor of the fearless Crusader.

1055
01:06:46,840 --> 01:06:52,000
There's the armor of the pitiless Crusader and there's the armor of the remorse, the

1056
01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:55,100
Crusader, which they tived to the death watch.

1057
01:06:55,100 --> 01:07:00,480
So any black Templars who serve in the death watch, they have exclusive access to artificer

1058
01:07:00,480 --> 01:07:05,240
armor, which is a pretty neat deal if you're like, ah, I'm being sent to like the equivalent

1059
01:07:05,240 --> 01:07:09,280
of Astartes boarding school, you still get a really neat set of armor.

1060
01:07:09,280 --> 01:07:11,480
So that's quite nice.

1061
01:07:11,480 --> 01:07:16,300
Let's talk about they had, how do I explain this?

1062
01:07:16,300 --> 01:07:21,120
So they have a relic called the Holy Orb of Antioch.

1063
01:07:21,120 --> 01:07:23,120
Oh my god.

1064
01:07:23,120 --> 01:07:26,720
Would you like to explain the reference please?

1065
01:07:26,720 --> 01:07:30,680
I think you know.

1066
01:07:30,680 --> 01:07:33,880
Oh my god.

1067
01:07:33,880 --> 01:07:35,400
Well, is anyone here?

1068
01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:40,800
So for the rest of you guys who do not feel, so for our viewers watching, me and Andy are

1069
01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:43,240
definitely on the different side of the Atlantic.

1070
01:07:43,240 --> 01:07:51,280
And this is, this is a reference to a group called Monty Python.

1071
01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:53,160
And there's a fantastic movie.

1072
01:07:53,160 --> 01:07:56,240
Oh my god, I've forgotten the name of it for a second there.

1073
01:07:56,240 --> 01:07:57,240
That's the Holy Grail.

1074
01:07:57,240 --> 01:07:58,240
Yeah.

1075
01:07:58,240 --> 01:07:59,400
Oh, thank god everyone's watched this.

1076
01:07:59,400 --> 01:08:02,840
I watched that movie way too young.

1077
01:08:02,840 --> 01:08:09,560
This is a fantastic reference to a Monty Python sketch within this film about the Holy Hand

1078
01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:12,320
Grenade, if I'm not mistaken.

1079
01:08:12,320 --> 01:08:23,360
And they are trying to kill a demon albino rabbit that takes on Crusaders, which is the

1080
01:08:23,360 --> 01:08:28,160
idea of that being recreated in Warhammer, that shows you why you should be into this.

1081
01:08:28,160 --> 01:08:31,760
I think it's a board game item as well, so you can literally use it in the game.

1082
01:08:31,760 --> 01:08:32,760
Oh, is it really?

1083
01:08:32,760 --> 01:08:35,760
I think it is, I can look right now.

1084
01:08:35,760 --> 01:08:40,200
If I'm correct, it's like it hurts you more if you do a bad dice roll and it hurts you.

1085
01:08:40,200 --> 01:08:43,040
It's like if you're not pious enough, it hurts you.

1086
01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:44,040
Something like that.

1087
01:08:44,040 --> 01:08:48,960
So if you throw it at a Xeno's demon, or a Chaos demon, they're just screwed.

1088
01:08:48,960 --> 01:08:50,600
Yeah, basically.

1089
01:08:50,600 --> 01:08:51,600
I love that.

1090
01:08:51,600 --> 01:08:56,640
I think there's another Monty Python reference of the Black Templars, but I couldn't find

1091
01:08:56,640 --> 01:08:57,640
it.

1092
01:08:57,640 --> 01:08:58,640
But I'm sure there's another one.

1093
01:08:58,640 --> 01:09:01,840
Because again, English company, etc.

1094
01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:06,640
Another thing they have is the Sword of Dawn.

1095
01:09:06,640 --> 01:09:13,160
So in the Eternal Crusader, they literally have a Hall of Records, which basically talks

1096
01:09:13,160 --> 01:09:15,160
about all their greatest deeds, blah, blah, blah.

1097
01:09:15,160 --> 01:09:22,000
But they also have this massive vault of relics, and one of those relics is the Sword of Dawn.

1098
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:23,800
I believe it's the Chained Sword of Dawn.

1099
01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:28,280
I might be mistaken, but I think it's literally the sword that you see in all the pictures

1100
01:09:28,280 --> 01:09:30,400
with the chain blade and blah, blah, blah.

1101
01:09:30,400 --> 01:09:32,240
And it's broken.

1102
01:09:32,240 --> 01:09:39,120
But the interesting thing is the chapter, when they elect a High Marshal, they give

1103
01:09:39,120 --> 01:09:43,040
them a weapon called the Sword of the High Marshals.

1104
01:09:43,040 --> 01:09:48,600
And it's forged from the broken fragments or some of the broken fragments from Dawn's

1105
01:09:48,600 --> 01:09:50,600
personal sword.

1106
01:09:50,600 --> 01:09:53,120
So that's kind of cool.

1107
01:09:53,120 --> 01:09:59,600
And it's literally used as a badge of office for the High Marshal.

1108
01:09:59,600 --> 01:10:06,280
So before we do the notable members and the Emperor's Champion of the Black Templars,

1109
01:10:06,280 --> 01:10:12,700
I'd like to quickly just go through, I think it'd be good if we all read one of the various,

1110
01:10:12,700 --> 01:10:17,800
four main oaths that Sigurdsmen said to vow to do.

1111
01:10:17,800 --> 01:10:22,960
And every Black Templar has to swear this when they go on to the Eternal Crusader.

1112
01:10:22,960 --> 01:10:26,740
So every few years they go back to the Eternal Crusader, they go back to the quote, home

1113
01:10:26,740 --> 01:10:34,040
ship, and they have to recite these vows in order to remain a Black Templar.

1114
01:10:34,040 --> 01:10:40,920
So I will start with the Uphor the Witch quote.

1115
01:10:40,920 --> 01:10:42,920
I feel like we're joining the Black Templars.

1116
01:10:42,920 --> 01:10:45,600
I'm trying to make a sneakily join in.

1117
01:10:45,600 --> 01:10:47,600
So I'll recite this one.

1118
01:10:47,600 --> 01:10:50,120
I did it in my Black Templars video, but still.

1119
01:10:50,120 --> 01:10:52,120
So here we go.

1120
01:10:52,120 --> 01:10:55,760
Smite now the scions of the witch.

1121
01:10:55,760 --> 01:11:01,120
Grant us the strength to pierce their unclean flesh, to cover their fields with the pale

1122
01:11:01,120 --> 01:11:04,000
forms of their blasphemous dead.

1123
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:09,480
To drown the thunder of guns with the shrieks of their dying, the low waste of their citadels

1124
01:11:09,480 --> 01:11:11,960
with hurricanes of fire.

1125
01:11:11,960 --> 01:11:17,640
To wring the hearts of their kin with unavailing grief.

1126
01:11:17,640 --> 01:11:25,760
To send them into the wastes of their desolated lands in rags and hunger, broken in spirit,

1127
01:11:25,760 --> 01:11:33,520
worn with travail and begging for the refuge of the grave.

1128
01:11:33,520 --> 01:11:37,840
We ask it in the spirit of wrath.

1129
01:11:37,840 --> 01:11:43,080
O Master of Mankind.

1130
01:11:43,080 --> 01:11:45,840
That's Uphor the Witch, destroy the witch by the Black Templars.

1131
01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:48,480
Damn, not inviting them for Christmas.

1132
01:11:48,480 --> 01:11:52,640
Colin, here's your one.

1133
01:11:52,640 --> 01:11:57,120
You don't have to do the epic voice if you don't want to.

1134
01:11:57,120 --> 01:12:00,560
My epic narrative voice is a bit rusty.

1135
01:12:00,560 --> 01:12:03,880
We can't compete.

1136
01:12:03,880 --> 01:12:08,120
We can't compete, it's going all the way down to Andy.

1137
01:12:08,120 --> 01:12:10,040
Trust in the Emperor at the hour of battle.

1138
01:12:10,040 --> 01:12:14,560
Trust him to intercede and protect his warriors true as they deal death on alien soil.

1139
01:12:14,560 --> 01:12:16,960
Turn their seas to red with the blood of their slain.

1140
01:12:16,960 --> 01:12:21,560
Crush their hopes, their dreams and turn their songs into cries of lamentation.

1141
01:12:21,560 --> 01:12:22,560
That's so awesome.

1142
01:12:22,560 --> 01:12:23,560
Makes me think of Conan.

1143
01:12:23,560 --> 01:12:25,560
I mean, the honor of the Emperor.

1144
01:12:25,560 --> 01:12:28,800
Conan the Barbarian, it's like, hear the lamentations of their women.

1145
01:12:28,800 --> 01:12:34,920
I feel like this might be hitting me differently.

1146
01:12:34,920 --> 01:12:36,000
Here's yours Eli.

1147
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:41,400
This one is called Accept Any Challenge, No Matter the Oz.

1148
01:12:41,400 --> 01:12:42,400
Let's see here.

1149
01:12:42,400 --> 01:12:43,400
Yeah, okay.

1150
01:12:43,400 --> 01:12:48,960
O Emperor in Wrath, rejoicing at bloody wars, fierce and untamed, whose mighty power doth

1151
01:12:48,960 --> 01:12:55,080
make the strongest walls from their foundations sake, all conquering Master of Mankind.

1152
01:12:55,080 --> 01:13:00,320
To be pleased with his wars, to mulch to his roar, delight in swords and fists red with

1153
01:13:00,320 --> 01:13:06,400
alien blood and the dire ruin of savage battle, rejoice in furious challenge and avenging

1154
01:13:06,400 --> 01:13:11,240
strife whose works with woe and bitter human life.

1155
01:13:11,240 --> 01:13:13,240
Accept Any Challenge, No Matter the Oz.

1156
01:13:13,240 --> 01:13:14,240
Beautiful.

1157
01:13:14,240 --> 01:13:17,840
I feel like they're becoming more evil as we continue.

1158
01:13:17,840 --> 01:13:18,840
More epic you mean?

1159
01:13:18,840 --> 01:13:19,840
This one's for how?

1160
01:13:19,840 --> 01:13:20,840
I won't do a...

1161
01:13:20,840 --> 01:13:23,840
I'm not sure I can compete.

1162
01:13:23,840 --> 01:13:25,240
People...

1163
01:13:25,240 --> 01:13:26,560
Okay.

1164
01:13:26,560 --> 01:13:31,200
Lead us from death to victory, from falsehood to truth.

1165
01:13:31,200 --> 01:13:36,320
Lead us from despair to hope, from faith to slaughter.

1166
01:13:36,320 --> 01:13:40,480
Lead us to his strength and an eternity of war.

1167
01:13:40,480 --> 01:13:43,240
Let his wrath fill our hearts.

1168
01:13:43,240 --> 01:13:46,240
Death, war and blood.

1169
01:13:46,240 --> 01:13:51,040
In vengeance serve the Emperor in the name of Dawn.

1170
01:13:51,040 --> 01:13:54,040
Suffer not the unclean to live.

1171
01:13:54,040 --> 01:13:56,040
No bit hard at all.

1172
01:13:56,040 --> 01:13:57,040
You're so awesome.

1173
01:13:57,040 --> 01:13:58,040
I like that.

1174
01:13:58,040 --> 01:13:59,040
That was good.

1175
01:13:59,040 --> 01:14:02,360
I'm not actually a voice actor.

1176
01:14:02,360 --> 01:14:04,560
Please be kind if anyone comments.

1177
01:14:04,560 --> 01:14:06,600
Well, that was nice.

1178
01:14:06,600 --> 01:14:12,520
And yeah, mentioned in that last, I think it was Eli's bit where it's like, it's worth

1179
01:14:12,520 --> 01:14:18,040
noting that like the Black Templars have literally been at war for 10,000 years.

1180
01:14:18,040 --> 01:14:20,320
I don't think I mentioned this before.

1181
01:14:20,320 --> 01:14:23,680
They literally were like, oh, great crusade was pretty cool.

1182
01:14:23,680 --> 01:14:26,000
So now they're like, we can one up that.

1183
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:30,180
We're going to like launch crusade that lasts forever.

1184
01:14:30,180 --> 01:14:34,400
And so far, it's not been broken in 10,000 years.

1185
01:14:34,400 --> 01:14:39,120
The longest human war in history, you could say.

1186
01:14:39,120 --> 01:14:40,120
Ever.

1187
01:14:40,120 --> 01:14:41,960
The longest war in human history.

1188
01:14:41,960 --> 01:14:44,280
This form is frightening damn.

1189
01:14:44,280 --> 01:14:46,080
10,000 years.

1190
01:14:46,080 --> 01:14:47,080
Okay.

1191
01:14:47,080 --> 01:14:51,200
So we're pretty much we're already an hour and a bit.

1192
01:14:51,200 --> 01:14:54,960
So I think we should wrap this up with some of the most notable people in the Black Templars

1193
01:14:54,960 --> 01:14:56,520
if you're happy with that.

1194
01:14:56,520 --> 01:14:57,520
Absolutely.

1195
01:14:57,520 --> 01:14:58,520
Okay.

1196
01:14:58,520 --> 01:15:02,600
So let's start off with we've already mentioned Sigismund.

1197
01:15:02,600 --> 01:15:05,880
So we've kind of already talked about him.

1198
01:15:05,880 --> 01:15:10,800
But let's just say that he all will add to him is that he is revered so much that there

1199
01:15:10,800 --> 01:15:17,440
is literally a temple in the in the eternal crusader alongside Dawn and the Emperor, like

1200
01:15:17,440 --> 01:15:20,200
the trifecta for the eternal crusader.

1201
01:15:20,200 --> 01:15:27,040
And the Black Templars is literally the God of man, gene father of man, and the best warrior,

1202
01:15:27,040 --> 01:15:30,200
literally like the father, the son and the Holy Ghost.

1203
01:15:30,200 --> 01:15:36,200
Literally, that is the Black Templars to a T. And although the Black Sword, his weapon

1204
01:15:36,200 --> 01:15:43,360
of choice was kind of vandalized by Aberdon saying, is it we are coming or we are on the

1205
01:15:43,360 --> 01:15:44,360
way?

1206
01:15:44,360 --> 01:15:48,280
Oh, here comes the Black Legion, whatever it was.

1207
01:15:48,280 --> 01:15:52,400
They kind of scribbled that off and they still retain his sword on the eternal crusader,

1208
01:15:52,400 --> 01:15:54,040
which we'll get back to in a minute.

1209
01:15:54,040 --> 01:15:57,640
Now we're about to talk about one of the biggest chads in Warhammer 40k.

1210
01:15:57,640 --> 01:15:58,640
Are you ready?

1211
01:15:58,640 --> 01:15:59,640
I'm ready.

1212
01:15:59,640 --> 01:16:00,640
Hit me.

1213
01:16:00,640 --> 01:16:01,640
Eldred?

1214
01:16:01,640 --> 01:16:02,640
Okay.

1215
01:16:02,640 --> 01:16:03,640
Back in your corner, Skull.

1216
01:16:03,640 --> 01:16:08,640
We're not talking about those AB Eldar.

1217
01:16:08,640 --> 01:16:09,640
Apologies.

1218
01:16:09,640 --> 01:16:10,640
Apologies.

1219
01:16:10,640 --> 01:16:16,240
Okay, so we're going to talk about High Marshal Helbrecht.

1220
01:16:16,240 --> 01:16:23,840
Now this guy, to give you an idea of how important High Marshal Helbrecht is, if you read the

1221
01:16:23,840 --> 01:16:29,440
ninth edition of the Adeptus Custodes Codex, there is a quote, and I'm about to read it

1222
01:16:29,440 --> 01:16:37,280
to you, and the quote is called, Eeds of Legend by Gretion Arterbain, who's a custodian.

1223
01:16:37,280 --> 01:16:39,040
A man with an unreasonable name.

1224
01:16:39,040 --> 01:16:40,040
Yeah.

1225
01:16:40,040 --> 01:16:42,800
I think it's Grecion or Gretarion Arterbain.

1226
01:16:42,800 --> 01:16:43,800
Grecion, I think.

1227
01:16:43,800 --> 01:16:46,080
Grecion, yeah, I think it is, yeah.

1228
01:16:46,080 --> 01:16:53,680
And the quote reads, for 60 and three years did I serve as companion, the youngest to

1229
01:16:53,680 --> 01:16:58,480
ever hold such a position and thus be named Honored Watchman.

1230
01:16:58,480 --> 01:17:04,120
So long in his presence, there is not enough gratitude in all the galaxy I could have for

1231
01:17:04,120 --> 01:17:06,920
the privilege of such a duty.

1232
01:17:06,920 --> 01:17:12,920
Alas, as with all of the Haterion guard, I could not stand watch over the throne for

1233
01:17:12,920 --> 01:17:14,200
eternity.

1234
01:17:14,200 --> 01:17:16,160
I had not the strength.

1235
01:17:16,160 --> 01:17:21,120
Eventually I will return and serve longer, as I swear.

1236
01:17:21,120 --> 01:17:26,160
The Aquiline Shield was my calling when I left the throne, for if I could not protect

1237
01:17:26,160 --> 01:17:31,400
the Emperor himself, I would guard those doing his works.

1238
01:17:31,400 --> 01:17:37,960
I read the Lictorian rites, took the Ravrangian oaths and passed the Baltagic trials.

1239
01:17:37,960 --> 01:17:43,640
I spent three decades learning of the Doomscriers, how to interpret their words, what to dismiss

1240
01:17:43,640 --> 01:17:46,840
as babble and what to accept as truth.

1241
01:17:46,840 --> 01:17:51,560
I learned of past error, as well as successful protection of my order.

1242
01:17:51,560 --> 01:17:54,560
Here's the important bit.

1243
01:17:54,560 --> 01:18:00,800
My first duty, while bedecked in the purplish shades of my host, was to shield a denizen

1244
01:18:00,800 --> 01:18:04,840
of piety, one who was barely adolescent.

1245
01:18:04,840 --> 01:18:10,760
In the under hives in which he dealt, we preserved his life from afar until the day the Black

1246
01:18:10,760 --> 01:18:14,280
Templars came and took him aboard their ships.

1247
01:18:14,280 --> 01:18:16,760
That boy's name was Helbrecht.

1248
01:18:16,760 --> 01:18:22,940
Literally, the Aquiline Shield, the guys whose whole job is to look out for important people

1249
01:18:22,940 --> 01:18:28,840
to preserve humanity, found Helbrecht when he was an adolescent and protected him because

1250
01:18:28,840 --> 01:18:29,840
he was important.

1251
01:18:29,840 --> 01:18:30,840
Alexiou's voice is very clear.

1252
01:18:30,840 --> 01:18:32,840
The actual importance of that is almost…

1253
01:18:32,840 --> 01:18:34,840
Does it say earth shattering?

1254
01:18:34,840 --> 01:18:36,160
It's not enough, almost.

1255
01:18:36,160 --> 01:18:37,160
Like galaxy.

1256
01:18:37,160 --> 01:18:45,400
The implications of the trusted of the Emperor, the custodians to watch over a single… in

1257
01:18:45,400 --> 01:18:48,960
a universe of trillions of people to watch over one person.

1258
01:18:48,960 --> 01:18:53,520
I'm saying with just how god damn important… I'm sorry, shhh.

1259
01:18:53,520 --> 01:18:55,760
That's the best word.

1260
01:18:55,760 --> 01:18:57,160
No, go with what's fine.

1261
01:18:57,160 --> 01:19:02,880
But is it just how important he's going to be if the custodians themselves are like,

1262
01:19:02,880 --> 01:19:05,120
you… I cannot tell you how important you are.

1263
01:19:05,120 --> 01:19:08,380
You're so important, we're leaving the Emperor to guard you.

1264
01:19:08,380 --> 01:19:15,480
That is a whole new level of worth as a future space marine, as a person.

1265
01:19:15,480 --> 01:19:17,360
I wish the Emperor spoke to me like that.

1266
01:19:17,360 --> 01:19:20,200
You are so important.

1267
01:19:20,200 --> 01:19:22,200
I can use the pep talk.

1268
01:19:22,200 --> 01:19:29,800
Well they say this is a Black Templar belief, but it might be true, that the High Marshals

1269
01:19:29,800 --> 01:19:35,360
of the chapter are literally appointed by the Emperor himself.

1270
01:19:35,360 --> 01:19:37,360
And so this kind of bears credence to that.

1271
01:19:37,360 --> 01:19:42,320
It might just be a coincidence, it's just like he's too important to ignore, but like

1272
01:19:42,320 --> 01:19:43,840
it bears credence.

1273
01:19:43,840 --> 01:19:46,880
But Helbrecht the man himself, what's Helbrecht's deal?

1274
01:19:46,880 --> 01:19:52,200
Helbrecht is literally the greatest naval commander in the Imperium.

1275
01:19:52,200 --> 01:19:55,400
We all love Hell's Reach.

1276
01:19:55,400 --> 01:19:59,720
A lot of people when they watch that fan film or read the book, they think, oh Hell's

1277
01:19:59,720 --> 01:20:02,800
Reach Armageddon, that was just like the Black Templar.

1278
01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:03,800
Like no.

1279
01:20:03,800 --> 01:20:09,920
Like there was dozens, dozens of Astartes companies and chapters that were appointed

1280
01:20:09,920 --> 01:20:10,920
to defend Hell's Reach.

1281
01:20:10,920 --> 01:20:15,280
Like there's literally like a bunch of chapters you've never heard of.

1282
01:20:15,280 --> 01:20:18,240
There's so many chapters on that warfare.

1283
01:20:18,240 --> 01:20:22,700
And they all got to Armageddon, flagships and ships.

1284
01:20:22,700 --> 01:20:26,200
And who was in charge of all the Astartes war fleet?

1285
01:20:26,200 --> 01:20:27,200
Helbrecht.

1286
01:20:27,200 --> 01:20:31,680
They literally went, you are literally the best naval commander in the Imperium.

1287
01:20:31,680 --> 01:20:32,960
You do it.

1288
01:20:32,960 --> 01:20:37,020
And he's also an amazing swordsman.

1289
01:20:37,020 --> 01:20:43,520
This guy dueled Necron Stormlord Imhotek, like one of the most big daddy Necron energy

1290
01:20:43,520 --> 01:20:45,520
guys ever.

1291
01:20:45,520 --> 01:20:48,880
Legit, a Terminator that doesn't slow down or tire.

1292
01:20:48,880 --> 01:20:53,880
And here's the thing, and this is why I don't like Necron, bear with me.

1293
01:20:53,880 --> 01:21:05,800
Like Helbrecht messed him up again and again and again and again and again for ages.

1294
01:21:05,800 --> 01:21:11,160
And the only reason that Imhotek won was because he kept regenerating and was like, ha lol,

1295
01:21:11,160 --> 01:21:12,160
and cut his hand off.

1296
01:21:12,160 --> 01:21:14,960
Like, I don't like Necron.

1297
01:21:14,960 --> 01:21:18,440
Like at least have like a limit of how much you can regenerate.

1298
01:21:18,440 --> 01:21:21,560
I mean, you could just get good.

1299
01:21:21,560 --> 01:21:31,480
I mean, that is the interesting part of it being, I think it's a, the part I loved about

1300
01:21:31,480 --> 01:21:36,920
this within the lore is like it's a representation of, it is a bit of a microcosm between human

1301
01:21:36,920 --> 01:21:42,520
struggle because human, even as, you know, as mighty as Helbrecht and how talented and

1302
01:21:42,520 --> 01:21:49,400
how strong he is, he is only, he is the human whose muscles tire, who's, you know, eventually

1303
01:21:49,400 --> 01:21:56,440
he will, I think it's a nice kind of link to how I guess our story, humanity story will

1304
01:21:56,440 --> 01:21:58,680
be with the Necrons in the future.

1305
01:21:58,680 --> 01:22:03,100
It's a nice, although I think it's almost, I think it's an advantage that it's almost

1306
01:22:03,100 --> 01:22:09,360
frustrating that that duel happens as epic as it is, as epic as it is.

1307
01:22:09,360 --> 01:22:12,600
I bet you he would have, one of you was an ultramarine.

1308
01:22:12,600 --> 01:22:13,600
Yeah.

1309
01:22:13,600 --> 01:22:14,600
Oh gods.

1310
01:22:14,600 --> 01:22:15,600
Here we go.

1311
01:22:15,600 --> 01:22:22,760
Although to be fair, Marni's Kalgor got dunked on by Abaddon, so their plot armor has been

1312
01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:23,760
fading.

1313
01:22:23,760 --> 01:22:24,760
Nice.

1314
01:22:24,760 --> 01:22:32,520
Although to be fair, Helbrecht lost that fight and such before he undertook the Rubicon Primaris

1315
01:22:32,520 --> 01:22:35,400
and now he is a Primaris Marine.

1316
01:22:35,400 --> 01:22:40,400
So that's a hell of a different, now Helbrecht is bigger and better now.

1317
01:22:40,400 --> 01:22:43,640
He's a weapon to surpass Metal Gear now.

1318
01:22:43,640 --> 01:22:44,640
Exactly.

1319
01:22:44,640 --> 01:22:46,240
He is Metal Gear Rex.

1320
01:22:46,240 --> 01:22:47,240
He's upgraded.

1321
01:22:47,240 --> 01:22:48,240
He has maidens now.

1322
01:22:48,240 --> 01:22:50,240
He's got the sword cleaner guy.

1323
01:22:50,240 --> 01:22:51,240
Oh yeah.

1324
01:22:51,240 --> 01:22:52,240
He has no maidens now.

1325
01:22:52,240 --> 01:22:53,240
He has maidens.

1326
01:22:53,240 --> 01:22:59,240
I wanted to say earlier, Eli, if you fail the Black Templar Trials, you're the sword

1327
01:22:59,240 --> 01:23:00,240
cleaner.

1328
01:23:00,240 --> 01:23:01,240
The sword guy.

1329
01:23:01,240 --> 01:23:08,840
Did you know that in the tabletop, his little like, surfs actually can hit people?

1330
01:23:08,840 --> 01:23:09,840
Really?

1331
01:23:09,840 --> 01:23:14,360
Yeah, I was looking at his rules to get through extra attacks, like strength 3, AP 0.

1332
01:23:14,360 --> 01:23:15,360
With quits or something?

1333
01:23:15,360 --> 01:23:16,840
Their hands, it literally says their hands.

1334
01:23:16,840 --> 01:23:18,840
What are they hitting him with?

1335
01:23:18,840 --> 01:23:19,840
Just like insults?

1336
01:23:19,840 --> 01:23:20,840
Punch him.

1337
01:23:20,840 --> 01:23:21,840
It's like off.

1338
01:23:21,840 --> 01:23:24,960
Sword cleaner has punched you.

1339
01:23:24,960 --> 01:23:26,680
It's amazing.

1340
01:23:26,680 --> 01:23:32,280
By the way, Eli, I'm about to talk about everyone's favorite Templar, Grimaldis.

1341
01:23:32,280 --> 01:23:36,840
Would you like to read a quote before I talk about him?

1342
01:23:36,840 --> 01:23:37,840
Of course.

1343
01:23:37,840 --> 01:23:42,960
To a darkness I bring fire, to the ignorant I bring faith.

1344
01:23:42,960 --> 01:23:47,840
Those who welcome these gifts may live, but I will visit not but death and eternal damnation

1345
01:23:47,840 --> 01:23:50,560
on those who refuse them.

1346
01:23:50,560 --> 01:23:51,560
So nice.

1347
01:23:51,560 --> 01:23:56,760
What's wrong with Eli saying that and it sounds too nice?

1348
01:23:56,760 --> 01:24:03,120
You sound too wholesome.

1349
01:24:03,120 --> 01:24:05,160
Everyone loves Grimaldis.

1350
01:24:05,160 --> 01:24:10,440
Grimaldis for anyone who is not, why are you watching this?

1351
01:24:10,440 --> 01:24:12,360
You haven't watched Hell's Reach.

1352
01:24:12,360 --> 01:24:15,040
Go on YouTube, type out Richard Boylan.

1353
01:24:15,040 --> 01:24:16,040
After you've watched this episode.

1354
01:24:16,040 --> 01:24:17,040
No, pause this.

1355
01:24:17,040 --> 01:24:20,440
Pause this and go search.

1356
01:24:20,440 --> 01:24:25,200
Richard Boylan, Hell's Reach and watch it and then come back because everyone loves

1357
01:24:25,200 --> 01:24:26,200
Grimaldis.

1358
01:24:26,200 --> 01:24:27,200
Amazing TV show.

1359
01:24:27,200 --> 01:24:28,200
He is a bit of a Chad.

1360
01:24:28,200 --> 01:24:31,240
I have to give it to him.

1361
01:24:31,240 --> 01:24:34,560
Literally a self doubting chaplain.

1362
01:24:34,560 --> 01:24:38,520
His mentor Mordred died in battle, I think against the greenskins.

1363
01:24:38,520 --> 01:24:41,160
I'm not sure, but he died in battle.

1364
01:24:41,160 --> 01:24:47,400
Helbert was like, Grimaldis, you are now the recluse of the Hell's Reach crusade.

1365
01:24:47,400 --> 01:24:51,040
Grimaldis was like, I don't have anyone to do that.

1366
01:24:51,040 --> 01:24:52,040
Oh well.

1367
01:24:52,040 --> 01:24:54,840
And he kind of became a recluse.

1368
01:24:54,840 --> 01:24:56,840
That sounds like a scene from Harry Potter.

1369
01:24:56,840 --> 01:25:01,240
What's like the elf that's Dobby, but it's the other one.

1370
01:25:01,240 --> 01:25:05,040
You're a recluse, Grimaldis.

1371
01:25:05,040 --> 01:25:06,040
I'm a what?

1372
01:25:06,040 --> 01:25:10,120
You're a recluse, but I'm just Grimaldis.

1373
01:25:10,120 --> 01:25:14,560
Did you just turn that into a Hagrid Harry Potter reference?

1374
01:25:14,560 --> 01:25:21,480
I'm not the only one who felt that good.

1375
01:25:21,480 --> 01:25:27,920
Anyway this guy is just zealous rage and purity, sonified.

1376
01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:33,320
He took a bunch of Lactam Pluristates and defended a city on Hell's Reach, the most

1377
01:25:33,320 --> 01:25:40,560
arguably contested planet in the Imperium space, other than, you know where.

1378
01:25:40,560 --> 01:25:46,280
Was that the one with the planet, the replacement for Cadia?

1379
01:25:46,280 --> 01:25:50,440
I was going to say Cadia, but still.

1380
01:25:50,440 --> 01:25:56,360
Most contested, I was like, contested and Cadia fell, so I'm like, can't say that anymore.

1381
01:25:56,360 --> 01:25:57,360
Cadia stands.

1382
01:25:57,360 --> 01:26:05,400
But yeah, literally he led a bunch of Lactam Plurists to defend Hell's Reach and he inspired

1383
01:26:05,400 --> 01:26:10,600
not only his men but also the Imperial Guard and probably the Servitors too of Hell's Reach

1384
01:26:10,600 --> 01:26:12,620
to defend the city.

1385
01:26:12,620 --> 01:26:19,560
He lost all of his squad, church fell on him, survived because he's a Chad, and went through

1386
01:26:19,560 --> 01:26:24,640
the Rubicon Primaris, isn't going to recruit anyone into his squad Grimaldis again.

1387
01:26:24,640 --> 01:26:28,080
He's like, no, they died, they're staying dead, I don't want to have anyone else fight

1388
01:26:28,080 --> 01:26:29,160
alongside me.

1389
01:26:29,160 --> 01:26:35,380
So he's like the lone wolf chaplain bishop of the Black Templars and he's a badass and

1390
01:26:35,380 --> 01:26:36,380
we all love him.

1391
01:26:36,380 --> 01:26:39,320
He can move in diagonals as the bishop on the board.

1392
01:26:39,320 --> 01:26:40,320
Yeah, exactly.

1393
01:26:40,320 --> 01:26:42,720
He is the move diagonals boy.

1394
01:26:42,720 --> 01:26:48,240
And one thing that was interesting about Grimaldis that links to my last final, final point of

1395
01:26:48,240 --> 01:26:52,760
this episode is Emperor's Champion.

1396
01:26:52,760 --> 01:26:56,640
So Eli, do you have anything to mention about the Emperor's Champion?

1397
01:26:56,640 --> 01:26:57,640
Well, sure.

1398
01:26:57,640 --> 01:27:05,520
They're the coolest unit in the game and their model alone makes me want to play Black Templar's

1399
01:27:05,520 --> 01:27:06,600
army.

1400
01:27:06,600 --> 01:27:12,800
But aside from that actual lore, the Emperor's Champion, it's been a tradition for a while.

1401
01:27:12,800 --> 01:27:15,320
Obviously Seisman was the first one.

1402
01:27:15,320 --> 01:27:20,520
It's different than Seisman though, it's not just you're told you're the Emperor's Champion,

1403
01:27:20,520 --> 01:27:25,480
but the Emperor himself tells you that you're the Emperor's Champion.

1404
01:27:25,480 --> 01:27:31,240
So when all the lads get together and they're praying before battle, one guy might get a

1405
01:27:31,240 --> 01:27:35,920
vision from the Emperor himself and he'll go talk to the chaplains and they'll confirm

1406
01:27:35,920 --> 01:27:40,520
it and he'll get sent to a place to like, I don't know, think on it.

1407
01:27:40,520 --> 01:27:44,800
I lost for words there, but he'll think about it.

1408
01:27:44,800 --> 01:27:46,960
He'll meditate and whatever.

1409
01:27:46,960 --> 01:27:54,240
And it'll be confirmed that he's an Emperor's Champion and there's only one per crusade.

1410
01:27:54,240 --> 01:28:01,380
So he'll gain a few armaments, including a black sword, which there are ten of.

1411
01:28:01,380 --> 01:28:05,560
He will don the Armor of Faith.

1412
01:28:05,560 --> 01:28:06,720
And am I missing anything?

1413
01:28:06,720 --> 01:28:13,080
I think that's pretty much their war gear and their duty is to pretty much just seek

1414
01:28:13,080 --> 01:28:19,960
out enemy champions and commanders and the biggest monsters they can find and kill them,

1415
01:28:19,960 --> 01:28:20,960
pretty much.

1416
01:28:20,960 --> 01:28:27,240
Yeah, utilizing the blessing and power of the Emperor to cast his holy light onto those

1417
01:28:27,240 --> 01:28:28,720
who would oppose him.

1418
01:28:28,720 --> 01:28:34,400
They're seen as the immortal vessel of the master of mankind.

1419
01:28:34,400 --> 01:28:40,080
The Emperor is in them, with the Holy Spirit.

1420
01:28:40,080 --> 01:28:43,680
They literally have a vision that they believe is divine from the Emperor.

1421
01:28:43,680 --> 01:28:50,160
They go to bed one day and they have their little hellbrekt plushie and they hug it and

1422
01:28:50,160 --> 01:28:53,880
they're literally like, I love Sigismund.

1423
01:28:53,880 --> 01:29:00,760
And then they're like, the Emperor sent me a vision and they'll see a massive tie, like

1424
01:29:00,760 --> 01:29:10,680
a horde of enemies, whether they be greenskins or Eldar or like, and they'll be like, my

1425
01:29:10,680 --> 01:29:12,560
duty is to kill them.

1426
01:29:12,560 --> 01:29:14,880
And they'll jump out of bed.

1427
01:29:14,880 --> 01:29:21,560
They will declare to the chapters chaplains like, bruh, I'm the new champion, give me

1428
01:29:21,560 --> 01:29:22,760
the sword.

1429
01:29:22,760 --> 01:29:25,880
And the chaplains will kind of go, hmm.

1430
01:29:25,880 --> 01:29:26,880
Okay.

1431
01:29:26,880 --> 01:29:31,360
And then they'll go to the master of the armory and go, bruh, I'm the Emperor's champion.

1432
01:29:31,360 --> 01:29:34,400
And the master of the armory will go, hmm.

1433
01:29:34,400 --> 01:29:35,400
Okay.

1434
01:29:35,400 --> 01:29:38,240
And then they'll give them the armor of faith.

1435
01:29:38,240 --> 01:29:42,840
Like you said, there are 10 black swords, so there's obviously like nine replicas.

1436
01:29:42,840 --> 01:29:48,600
The original sword is always kept on the eternal crusader in like a shrine.

1437
01:29:48,600 --> 01:29:51,760
And I believe that's the one from the Hell's Reach crusade.

1438
01:29:51,760 --> 01:29:53,280
I'm not sure.

1439
01:29:53,280 --> 01:29:54,760
But that's like the highest esteem.

1440
01:29:54,760 --> 01:29:56,760
I think that one always goes with hellbrekt.

1441
01:29:56,760 --> 01:30:03,320
Like where hellbrekt goes, eternal crusader or like a secondary flagship goes and the

1442
01:30:03,320 --> 01:30:08,600
black sword of Sigismund goes with him because it's like primary crusade fleet.

1443
01:30:08,600 --> 01:30:11,920
And yeah, every crusade fleet has an Emperor's champion.

1444
01:30:11,920 --> 01:30:15,200
When they go out into battle, they have a specific target in mind they've seen in the

1445
01:30:15,200 --> 01:30:16,200
vision.

1446
01:30:16,200 --> 01:30:21,960
They kill them and they go job done and they will relinquish the title or they will die.

1447
01:30:21,960 --> 01:30:27,760
And if they die when they're the Emperor's champion, their name is inscribed on the black

1448
01:30:27,760 --> 01:30:29,240
sword they were wielding.

1449
01:30:29,240 --> 01:30:35,000
And so there's like a bunch of names on each black sword of all the fallen Emperor's champions.

1450
01:30:35,000 --> 01:30:37,360
But other than that, that's basically it.

1451
01:30:37,360 --> 01:30:43,400
I was actually wondering that bit at the end why it didn't say we are coming on the black

1452
01:30:43,400 --> 01:30:49,720
sword but now I guess I know because there's 10 of them.

1453
01:30:49,720 --> 01:30:55,200
And the Emperor's champion does get the blessing of the Emperor going back to that.

1454
01:30:55,200 --> 01:31:00,720
They are stronger and faster and they can resist psychic powers much better and they

1455
01:31:00,720 --> 01:31:05,000
have like a complete sense of purpose and no doubts whatsoever.

1456
01:31:05,000 --> 01:31:07,160
That's pretty cool actually.

1457
01:31:07,160 --> 01:31:08,280
I actually didn't know that.

1458
01:31:08,280 --> 01:31:09,640
I didn't know they got souped up.

1459
01:31:09,640 --> 01:31:11,560
I just thought they got soup.

1460
01:31:11,560 --> 01:31:14,560
They got the Emperor juice.

1461
01:31:14,560 --> 01:31:18,080
They took their protein shake and their vitamin gummies.

1462
01:31:18,080 --> 01:31:20,400
They took their squash.

1463
01:31:20,400 --> 01:31:26,040
Oh my god, you're gonna hound me about that.

1464
01:31:26,040 --> 01:31:27,720
Very Brits listening.

1465
01:31:27,720 --> 01:31:30,440
Do you guys drink like concentrate squash?

1466
01:31:30,440 --> 01:31:32,320

1467
01:31:32,320 --> 01:31:33,320
You drink it?

1468
01:31:33,320 --> 01:31:34,320
Yes, bro.

1469
01:31:34,320 --> 01:31:35,320
This is constant.

1470
01:31:35,320 --> 01:31:38,240
This is a normal day thing in England, right?

1471
01:31:38,240 --> 01:31:40,040
This guy really does worship Slenesh.

1472
01:31:40,040 --> 01:31:41,040
These guys are heretics.

1473
01:31:41,040 --> 01:31:43,040
They don't know what's going on.

1474
01:31:43,040 --> 01:31:44,040
Oh, I'm the heretic.

1475
01:31:44,040 --> 01:31:45,040
Yeah, sorry.

1476
01:31:45,040 --> 01:31:46,040
I just drink water and beverages.

1477
01:31:46,040 --> 01:31:47,040
Sorry, soda.

1478
01:31:47,040 --> 01:31:48,040
Yes, soda.

1479
01:31:48,040 --> 01:31:56,680
But before we think of these guys as like purely nice, can I just finish on like a quote

1480
01:31:56,680 --> 01:32:01,080
from the Black Templar's Codex on like one of their crusade banners?

1481
01:32:01,080 --> 01:32:02,680
Yeah, of course.

1482
01:32:02,680 --> 01:32:10,200
So on page 52 of the Black Templar's Codex 2005, there's a bunch of crusade banners

1483
01:32:10,200 --> 01:32:15,000
with the shields and there's one called the Geriulus Crusade.

1484
01:32:15,000 --> 01:32:21,960
And I quote, upon the fall of the main spire of the Geriulus hive, one in every 100 inhabitants

1485
01:32:21,960 --> 01:32:27,640
was executed for their heresy in the manner of the planet's ancient traditions as depicted

1486
01:32:27,640 --> 01:32:28,640
on this banner.

1487
01:32:28,640 --> 01:32:32,360
Note, this banner includes the sword emblem of High Marshal Adonis.

1488
01:32:32,360 --> 01:32:36,640
It's basically a skeleton with like its arms up looking very unhappy.

1489
01:32:36,640 --> 01:32:38,680
That's the Black Templars.

1490
01:32:38,680 --> 01:32:42,920
A double edged sword, we could say.

1491
01:32:42,920 --> 01:32:50,560
They are, to our modern sensibilities, quite horrific, but they are the soldiers you in

1492
01:32:50,560 --> 01:32:52,160
the Warhammer universe need.

1493
01:32:52,160 --> 01:32:55,640
They are essentially the fight fire against fire.

1494
01:32:55,640 --> 01:33:00,400
To be fair, to the left of that crusade banner, there's the Nimbosa Crusade one and it's

1495
01:33:00,400 --> 01:33:04,960
literally a towel's head on a pike.

1496
01:33:04,960 --> 01:33:05,960
So there's that as well.

1497
01:33:05,960 --> 01:33:09,960
I'm not going to try and defend anymore.

1498
01:33:09,960 --> 01:33:10,960
I love the shade.

1499
01:33:10,960 --> 01:33:15,920
It's like, it literally says, from an expanding empire of a perfidious but technologically

1500
01:33:15,920 --> 01:33:16,920
advanced universe.

1501
01:33:16,920 --> 01:33:18,200
It doesn't even mention their names.

1502
01:33:18,200 --> 01:33:19,600
It's just something else.

1503
01:33:19,600 --> 01:33:20,600
I love it.

1504
01:33:20,600 --> 01:33:23,000
It's not even worth mentioning.

1505
01:33:23,000 --> 01:33:24,000
Wow.

1506
01:33:24,000 --> 01:33:27,960
That is, I mean, final thoughts, boys.

1507
01:33:27,960 --> 01:33:29,760
Quickly going round.

1508
01:33:29,760 --> 01:33:34,800
Andy, what do you like, final thoughts on Black Templars?

1509
01:33:34,800 --> 01:33:42,600
I would say a flawed, kind of evil, but also incredibly fun faction, especially because

1510
01:33:42,600 --> 01:33:45,440
they serve my boy, the Emperor.

1511
01:33:45,440 --> 01:33:46,440
And Eli?

1512
01:33:46,440 --> 01:33:50,880
They are probably my top three favorite space marine chapters.

1513
01:33:50,880 --> 01:33:59,120
They're so, I don't know, I appreciate the zeal and the metal and badassery.

1514
01:33:59,120 --> 01:34:04,160
They just encompass the grim darkness of the far future so well.

1515
01:34:04,160 --> 01:34:05,160
And Colin?

1516
01:34:05,160 --> 01:34:10,600
I will say, I haven't historically been the biggest fan of the Templars, but a lot of

1517
01:34:10,600 --> 01:34:12,280
that was for meta reasons.

1518
01:34:12,280 --> 01:34:18,640
Hearing all of this about them, I'm coming around a bit, I'll be honest.

1519
01:34:18,640 --> 01:34:20,760
I still like the Lamenters and Ultramarines more.

1520
01:34:20,760 --> 01:34:21,760
That's fine.

1521
01:34:21,760 --> 01:34:22,760
They're quite cool.

1522
01:34:22,760 --> 01:34:23,760
I like them.

1523
01:34:23,760 --> 01:34:24,760
They're fine.

1524
01:34:24,760 --> 01:34:25,760
I like both.

1525
01:34:25,760 --> 01:34:31,040
For people who have been listening, thank you so much for tuning into our, I guess,

1526
01:34:31,040 --> 01:34:34,840
beginner to expert dive into the Black Templars.

1527
01:34:34,840 --> 01:34:39,160
They are complicated.

1528
01:34:39,160 --> 01:34:40,440
Thank you so much.

1529
01:34:40,440 --> 01:34:45,680

1530
01:34:45,680 --> 01:34:49,240
If you'd like to see a video, or sorry, is it alright if I decide one thing at the end?

1531
01:34:49,240 --> 01:34:50,240
Yeah, of course.

1532
01:34:50,240 --> 01:34:55,320
Because does anyone have a Black Templar video they want to plug at the end?

1533
01:34:55,320 --> 01:34:58,280
We'll link them in the description for people.

1534
01:34:58,280 --> 01:35:00,080
Check them out if we have a video.

1535
01:35:00,080 --> 01:35:01,080
Check them out.

1536
01:35:01,080 --> 01:35:09,160
All I was saying is, I'd have a breakdown of the Black Templars on my channel, The Remembrancer.

1537
01:35:09,160 --> 01:35:10,160
Shameless shill.

1538
01:35:10,160 --> 01:35:11,160
We're all...

1539
01:35:11,160 --> 01:35:15,520
Buy some Delos for the Dark Asmarch.

1540
01:35:15,520 --> 01:35:17,240
Say the rest of our channels.

1541
01:35:17,240 --> 01:35:18,240
We all have stuff.

1542
01:35:18,240 --> 01:35:19,960
Go look at it.

1543
01:35:19,960 --> 01:35:25,040
Just send me money, period.

1544
01:35:25,040 --> 01:35:26,040
Thank you all for listening.

1545
01:35:26,040 --> 01:35:27,040
Take care everyone.

1546
01:35:27,040 --> 01:35:53,420
Que rabbis.
