So, last week of Vraks. Started rewatching a few of the earlier episodes. I hear a line about penal workers being shipped down to construct rail lines on Vraks. Because we never hear from them again, we can assume they were shipped to another system. Why am I bringing this up? *Because the most fortunate people to come out of the sorry affair and wanton waste of human life that was Vraks was the literal fucking slave labor.* Only in 40k.
It's not slave labor. It is service in the God Emperor of Mankind! If the God Emperor says you build the railroad, you are free to choose between building the railroad, or being executed for heresy. :)
I dunno about that. Some of them might have been shipped to another system, true. But I would imagine that most of them stayed there, helping keep the railroads running and doing other menial tasks in the supply side of things until getting killed by raiding parties or accidents.
Lord Arkos - I will take advantage of the fact that he is trying to take me alive. Chaplain Belphegor - Dang , forgot to ask Yafrir what " subdue" means again.
Dark Angels in a nutshell, War almost won: Dark angels show up, "Well you took your time, we've been waiting over 5 years for this to be over..." Belphegor: "Angels of Absolution, take Lord Arkos in Alive." Belphegor Bashes Arkos' skull in in. "You. You're my prisoner..." Dark Angels leave once they got what they came for. LOYALIST ASTARTES
You want to know what the two most saddest and ironic things are about the dark angels? If they opened up about the fallen and asked the other chapters for help capturing the fallen they would have greater success, the other sad and ironic thing is that the space wolves their rivals waged a war with the inquisition during the months of shame and are still one of the most loyal and respected chapters in the imperium. Maybe that’s why they are so at odds because the perpetually inebriated space vikings have a better reputation than the so called space knights (which is something that I always find hilarious that the cultures and people whom others regard as primitive, barbaric and easily insulted are more noble and heroic than the cultured ones, it’s like elves and dwarves: the elves are sophisticated, intelligent and cultured, but you wouldn’t trust them to open a tin/can of beans, the dwarves are crude, foul-mouthed, always drunk and will kick your teeth in at the slightest insult, yet the only reason you would have to doubt their loyalty to those who earn their trust is if you have never met them before, to sum up dwarves “if I stab a man in the back I will stab him in the back to his face” edit: iv'e learned that the reason they are so at odds is because their fathers had a bit of brotherly fun punching which has extended to their sons
@@dionjaywoollaston1349 yeah I wouldn't exactly trust elf to even get near a can of beans whilst I dwarf I would trust to at the bare minimum help me with groceries because a dwarf you get what you see, a elf everything has a double meaning
I hate this is the last week of vraks but I'm looking forward to the many great things you will bring us. For the greatest warhammer 40k youtuber on the platform, thank you so much for brightening our day with your charisma.
I rather have variety from Arch on multiple topics then this loooong series TBH but i can see how this detailed series is unique on youtube and is liked by many.
Well, I've been collecting all the stories people have been putting in the comments. Alas, YT has been screwing with my channel, so I'm going to be putting them on my gaming channel, ExploreTheLore. I call it, tales from the trenches. Planning on start recording this weekend. Hope to keep the Vraks thing going a little longer, at least in parody.
Squat guardsman: Ah, fighting underground! Now this is how you fight a war Cadian guardsman: Easy for you to say, you don't have to crawl. Krieg guardsman: ( mumbles in his gasmask before snickering with the Cadian) Squat: Ah sod the both of yer! Can't wait for this war to be over. 17 years of this ork shite....
So the war on Vraks was so terrible and disastrous that only the in no way angelic angels got what they wanted out of it. Even in the 41st millennium that is one hell of a Pyrrhic victory.
@@lostalone9320 But you do it all the time. The number of inquisitor that decided to blow up a planet because they refused to give him shiny bits rebuts your reluctance to do so.
My heart hurted a bit, I was hopeful that some sisters had survived, but they ended up like Don's wife in gears of war Also, I love the interrogator-chaplin's style of disarming and "capturing" a target
Man I haven't played that game in years and I still remember that gut punch. At least the didn't grant them the Emperor's Peace right there, but knowing that Inquisition that probably would be a mercy to what comes next.
Once again Dark Angels shows their uncompetence letting one of their successor chapters' Master die in combat with a Chaos Lord with the order to not kill him only to ingage him later and smash his skull. Good fockin job.
@Thecommander248 Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Azrael and co would've said Arkos had no legs, arms, eyes, and was basically needed to be picked up from a cot and they were just security. They are cuntish enough that if the Angels of Absolution were underprepped would've helped the mission, Belphegor would burn their armouries personally.
Ah, I see you took inspiration from Dragon Ball Z when it comes to naming episodes. Edit: Will Angels of Absolution capture Lord Arkos? Will he escape? Find out in the next episode of Siege of Vraks! Next episode: "Arkos Falls".

Thank GOD! (ok maybe the devil!). Today has been terrible. A friend of mine almost died to day from a epileptic fit and had to be helicoptered from where he was found in a field after NOT arriving home last night. In this situation first not knowing if he was dead most of the day but now knowing he is ok this is now the only time I can now relax and enjoy something in this day of lethal stress and worry. So thank you Arch for a moment of peace and peace with another soothing story telling epic at its best !
I love that drawing of a Kriegsman attacking an Ogrin with a pickaxe raises above his head ready to strike a mighty fleshwound upon the creature.. truly, the only heroes in all of this two decades spanning pointless waste of human lives by the incompetence of the Imperium of Man are the Deathkorp of Krieg.. I salute you, you tough un-yealding bastards!!
Best youtube series I have been watching since the beginning for the last few months and this series has me always going and brought me too the light of Warhammer 40k!
honestly, the amount of disregarding at times outright sabotaging of imperial efforts in favor of their own agenda honestly seems somewhat counterproductive in their efforts to cover up the fallen.
Imperial Forces: "We destroyed the whole place, and killed or captured anyone or anything still alive" Imperial Bureaucrats: "The cardinal must have escaped!"
Absolutely brilliant, thank you for this series, I listened to the war for bedab which was genius and that brought me here. Fantastic and so entertaining, thank you 🙏
Death Corps of Siege? I suppose they should be experts of that by now, haha! Another excellent video, Arch! Shame about the Master of the Angels of Absolution, cunts they may be, but Chaos is evil nonetheless and has to excised! For the God Emperor!
In Rise of Zuhfor vid: Cardinal Zafan’s skull would decorate Zuhfor’s shrine. In this vid: Cardinal Zafan became a chaos spawn. ...ok Also why tf do they send the guardsmen without darkvision or augers into the catacombs? Why is chaos the tactically intelligent side this whole siege?
@@isanayashiro2376 sure ok but ironic when you consider A. This was a war over an armory where the imperials new full well the armory was being exhausted in the said war and B. The death korps outfits it’s millions of soldiers with gas masks for engagements where even that’s not needed.
@@17joren I know but that's just how it is. In 40K Logic and critical thinking are rare. The death korps wear gas masks because the surface air of their home world is unbreathable, with all the radiation and stuff. And that stuck with the soldiers of Krieg and its kind of their tradition now, not so much as a necessity. So you can find them wearing gas masks even in perfectly safe atmospheres. Also the standard Krieg soldier (the infantry) is just used as cannon fodder, to overwhelm enemies and create a break in their lines. They have special units of Grenadiers who are better equipped and expected to fight in tunnels/bunkers etc. Secondly, the imperial official expected that they would win faster than the traitors can use all of the stored weapons and equipment. They were also worried that if they wasted time the traitors would ally with any of the myriad of hostile powers which plague the imperium. So vraks had to be taken. Its kind of stupid but hey when the commander of the whole operation is a lump of fat then you cannot expect much more.
BROTHER, GET AN APOTHECARY! THIS ONE MUST LIVE! But Brother Chaplain, you smashed him in the head three times. THEN HURRY SO I DON'T HAVE TO MAKE THAT FOUR!
When you refer it to Kreig, yes Korps is spelled with a K. I just have a peve of people spelling Korps or Corps as Core. The English Corps is from the Latin corpus "body".
I can't tell what's more important. Finishing this trench line I've been working on all morning, or the lord inquisitor Arch's briefing on Vraks... Defensive position... Or a good story? Fuck it, I'm doing both.
'Even psykers are not immune to artillery shelling'

Unspeakable tortures: see Rites of: Cults, Slanneshi
I genuinely thought I would never be able to see the end of this series. Thank the emperor for arch hath returned to us!
Underground bloody close quarters combat? *happy gasmask noises*
You know what thos series needs? Kyle makeing his choas spawn noises and vainly trying to correct arch.
I wounder what arch will do next?
Thank GOD! (ok maybe the devil!). Today has been terrible. A friend of mine almost died to day from a epileptic fit and had to be helicoptered from where he was found in a field after NOT arriving home last night. In this situation first not knowing if he was dead most of the day but now knowing he is ok this is now the only time I can now relax and enjoy something in this day of lethal stress and worry. So thank you Arch for a moment of peace and peace with another soothing story telling epic at its best !
Bummer but also good news. Glad for your friend. Yup! Arch is the best at telling bed time stories isn't he!!
@@MegaRaven100 Indeed he is!
Last time i was this early....
the Dark Angels still knew where their loyalties lay.
I was going to like this comment. Then I saw you where a Xenos lover.
Tau Shasla dark angels know where their loyalty is, it’s just no one else does
@@ironstarofmordian7098 OOf
to be honest i only have Sm and Guard miniatures tho
@@TauShasla at least you got one thing right heretic
The Dark Angels have always known that their loyalties lie with the Dark Angels.
I love that drawing of a Kriegsman attacking an Ogrin with a pickaxe raises above his head ready to strike a mighty fleshwound upon the creature.. truly, the only heroes in all of this two decades spanning pointless waste of human lives by the incompetence of the Imperium of Man are the Deathkorp of Krieg.. I salute you, you tough un-yealding bastards!!
Can you please do a series on Gaunt and the tanith 1st and only
Ultimate lesson of this war: Vraks f*cks everyone in the end
Best youtube series I have been watching since the beginning for the last few months and this series has me always going and brought me too the light of Warhammer 40k!
Ah thank the emperor Vraks us ending this week since I leave for service in my local imperial guards in two weeks
39:12 "The undercroft were... a hellish area to fart in even at the best of times."^^
At 43:50 Bolt cutters of the Emperor!
Honestly, I can't wait for another series like this, maybe the vampire wars of warhammer fantasy?
AHHHHH! A Vraks video, and on my birthday, no less! This is amazing!!!!! :D
happy Birthday
Ahh, the Dark Angels going after the Alfa Legion.
Those damn traitor marines.
Which ones the traitor?
@@danielboyas7645 yes
honestly, the amount of disregarding at times outright sabotaging of imperial efforts in favor of their own agenda honestly seems somewhat counterproductive in their efforts to cover up the fallen.
So the Cardinal was killed, had his skull added to the skull throne, and then resurrected into a Chaos Spawn!!!? Is that possible?
Imperial Forces: "We destroyed the whole place, and killed or captured anyone or anything still alive"
Imperial Bureaucrats: "The cardinal must have escaped!"
I imagine a drop pod hitting a void shield in a bad manner might be like Indy, the refrigerator and the nuke. Altough an Astartes might survive both.
Alright, that's an amusing image.
INDYYYYYYYYY
@@kostakatsoulis2922 _Indiana Jones Theme plays as a Drop Pod falls down a Void Shield._
@@airplanemaniacgaming7877 we need a Imperial Guard regiment dressed like Indiana Jones/wild west
Absolutely brilliant, thank you for this series, I listened to the war for bedab which was genius and that brought me here. Fantastic and so entertaining, thank you 🙏
Thank you for this series Arch.
We love you, Arch, and thank you for all you do.
Edit: Shit, I thought this was the last episode.
Commenting for the almighty algorithm, but been great fun listening to this series again while redecorating my house
Did you guys know that Lord Arkos is a playable HQ selection for Alpha Legion, just check on Battlescribe
Death Corps of Siege? I suppose they should be experts of that by now, haha! Another excellent video, Arch! Shame about the Master of the Angels of Absolution, cunts they may be, but Chaos is evil nonetheless and has to excised! For the God Emperor!
Arch has become one of my favorite Y.T. channels to smoke to.
This story has been absolutely fantastic from start to finish.
Saving the best for Vraks.
a good start of the weekend
Thank you for a brilliant series.
Wonder what is next in this brutal universe
Massed Squads of Tactical Marines after the area was demolished? The hell is this, Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War?
*Uknown ship enter orbit* *Kriegsmen spit on their bayonet to make em shine n' polish them sweetly*
The Angels are the real traitors, the alpha legion are innocent!!!!!!!!
:D
I smell heresy
You should do the Badab war next
In Rise of Zuhfor vid: Cardinal Zafan’s skull would decorate Zuhfor’s shrine.
In this vid: Cardinal Zafan became a chaos spawn.
...ok
Also why tf do they send the guardsmen without darkvision or augers into the catacombs? Why is chaos the tactically intelligent side this whole siege?
Its all price. Men are expendable. Equipment is not. The last thing the imperium lacks is people.
@@isanayashiro2376 sure ok but ironic when you consider A. This was a war over an armory where the imperials new full well the armory was being exhausted in the said war and B. The death korps outfits it’s millions of soldiers with gas masks for engagements where even that’s not needed.
@@17joren I know but that's just how it is. In 40K Logic and critical thinking are rare. The death korps wear gas masks because the surface air of their home world is unbreathable, with all the radiation and stuff. And that stuck with the soldiers of Krieg and its kind of their tradition now, not so much as a necessity.
So you can find them wearing gas masks even in perfectly safe atmospheres.
Also the standard Krieg soldier (the infantry) is just used as cannon fodder, to overwhelm enemies and create a break in their lines.
They have special units of Grenadiers who are better equipped and expected to fight in tunnels/bunkers etc.
Secondly, the imperial official expected that they would win faster than the traitors can use all of the stored weapons and equipment. They were also worried that if they wasted time the traitors would ally with any of the myriad of hostile powers which plague the imperium. So vraks had to be taken.
Its kind of stupid but hey when the commander of the whole operation is a lump of fat then you cannot expect much more.
As always, great content! Thank you for your time.
This has been a wild ride Arch. Thank you :-)
I thought torture was illegal in Norway! Why Arch? Why blue ball us?
BROTHER, GET AN APOTHECARY! THIS ONE MUST LIVE!
But Brother Chaplain, you smashed him in the head three times.
THEN HURRY SO I DON'T HAVE TO MAKE THAT FOUR!
When they decide to just murder the guy you originally bartered off to get them here.
43:25 Dude used Wire Cutters to murder the Heretic ! +1 Respekt for the Death Korp of Siege Pioneer!
Thank you Arch for a excellent series. More of the same for lesser know 40k campaigns please.
(Speaking as a lore lover, but not active player)
7:20 = The Death Core of Siege ?
is there some new death core ? :D
You misspelled Corps
@@lukasperuzovic1429 Korps is spelled with K :)
When you refer it to Kreig, yes Korps is spelled with a K.
I just have a peve of people spelling Korps or Corps as Core. The English Corps is from the Latin corpus "body".
@@lukasperuzovic1429 Yes , But the point is - Arch said " The Death Core of Siege " :)
Umm No, regardless of sentence structure, it does not change the spelling.
Came here faster than you could say "I am Alpharius."
I am Alpharius
I can't tell what's more important. Finishing this trench line I've been working on all morning, or the lord inquisitor Arch's briefing on Vraks...
Defensive position... Or a good story?
Fuck it, I'm doing both.
