Allow me to preemptively apologize to those who don't play tabletop 'cause TTS is now capitalizing on tabletop being a thing. I really like expanding horizons. Expect Part 2 to be up a month from now. I could release it earlier, but I'd like to space these out just a bit so I can give myself some time to finish up Part 3. This has been the biggest and most intensive thing I've ever worked on. I truly hope you enjoy it, even just a little.
That moment when you realize Saint Celestine turned Dominique into a dove. A dove is, in many faiths, the symbol of ascending to sainthood, or a Saint themselves. We witnessed his ascension.
@TP-Force Well a dove is a symbol for many things. It can mean freedom, it can also mean the Holy Spirit. It also CAN be a symbol of sainthood though. And none of these really are contradictory motifs either.
Kaldor Draigo, literally the single most powerful member of the unit, can do literally less than nothing thanks to shitty RNG. ... Seems about right, actually.
@@TLOK1918 Well, he really shouldn't be, but in lore at least, not on the tabletop, Draigo is an extremely stupid mary sue who does impossible things on a daily basis because GW let a fanfiction writing neckbeard in, so who knows. Russ has no rules in the tabletop. He went missing in the warp after all.
Wait a moment... Kairos can see the future. When he says revenge will be his, he'd know it wouldn't, which means at that moment, that head was lying. Which means the OTHER head would have had to be telling the truth. Which means... KAIROS DOES LOVE SKARBRAND.
The point of Kairos is not that one head can only say truth while the other says only lies. It's that when one head tells truth, the other tells the lie. They can and often do switch around. But of course his lore is specifically spelled the way to mislead the reader it's the former way around. JUST. AS. PLANNED
@@DoctorM42 That... and as far as I'm aware, we don't know if he needs to concentrate to see the future, and if he does, his concentration was probably disrupted by adrenaline from the fight, being nettled about Skarbrand getting the credit for his kills, and finally, his pure anger towards Adrielle.
A Saint can come in many forms, a drunkard to a fool, what makes a saint is their actions. Hail to to you Saint Dominque , Patron of wayward travelers and sandpaper cigarettes.
*tearing up* May his day be filled with obvious and asinine observations, horrible coughing fits, and the recognition of boundless loyalty and kindness.
@@ENCHANTMEN_ Truly someone such as Dominique was too beautiful for any realm of the living, we did not deserve to bask in the greatness of his presence but I appreciate the opportunity immensely.
Something I find interesting: notice that after the transformation, Dominique’s body is laid to rest in a gilded coffin that’s forever chained to the Star-Emperor’s throne. Emps is keeping his promise: Dominique will be by his side even in death. I even think we may have witnessed the birth of a new Imperial Saint. All hail Saint Dominique, patron Saint of Sandpaper cigarettes!;_;7
“HEY! HEY FYORDOR!” Will be the celebratory prayer to the new Fyorperor, In rememberance of his most dedicated saintly servant! *Leaves offerings of sandpaper ciggeretes*
So, who else wasn't expecting a silly little show about the emperor having a text to speech devise would end up making them literally tear up and be overcome with emotions?
When i read the bit about the Starchild, it finally clicked. The embodiment of the Emperor's compassion, love and kindness merging with one who was the opposite to make a balance. That was the plan!
The sounds of battle overcame the lone guardsman, huddled in his foxhole, his hands trembling as he reached for one more spare powerpack for his lasrifle. He found none. He looked to his left, his friend, dead, his rifle failed him. To his right, he watched as a heretic astartes bolt round removed his sergeant's head in a shower of blood, bone and gore. Then he heard the stomp of cerimite boots close, and, the hateful laughter of a killing god. He looked up, looked to the sky, praying for a glimpse of holy Terra, only to see the heretic marine recoil, recoil in physical pain as a blinding pure white light wash over and through him. A new feeling was felt, one deep in his chest, one he had never felt before. He turned, and, grabbed from the corpse of his NCO the last powerpack he could find, and affixed his bayonet. Even amid the screams of burning, wailing, inhuman killing machines. The light, so bright, so peaceful, it continued to wash over them, bathe them, all of the survivors of his company. Each stood, looking first to the heavens, seeing for the first time, the new dawning of mankind, and, then, they stood, and cast back the recoiling dark forms, of the traitors, those that cast aside what made them human. And as he and the others charged into the wailing, writhing, screaming forms of the heretic marines, they understood what the feeling in their hearts were. It was hope. At long last, it was hope. Not for them, nor this planet they had fought on, but, for mankind. All, of mankind. Hope. Was rekindled, and all of mankind, no matter how downtrodden, and beaten had seen it, the light of hope return, once more, forever. Hope, was rekindled, at last.
Not just canon itself. Can ye imagine something like this felt across the Galaxy? As the light of the Emperor was seen illuminating nearly the entire cosmos and even beyond that. For the Imperium - it was something rare and amazing indeed. I mean, let us count the numerous reactions of our many favorite factions. For a Sister of Battle to feel something like it, I'd be surprised if they didn't collapse and cry tears of joy - to feel the spirit and majesty of the God-Emperor before them. For the lonely Astartes - he but a moment could feel something he likely had cast out ages ago; his Humanity. For the crew of any void vessel in or outside the Warp - they saw their way forward, for the God-Emperor shone even to their distant shores. And...the Imperial Guardsman. The lonely human in a tide and sea of darkness. The person whom has merely heard whispers and tales of the God-Emperor...either as propaganda or as prayers that rarely seem heard. For a moment...he wouldn't be heard alone...the young boy heading to war or the lone veteran holding against the Tyranids - he'd known for a moment, he wasn't alone...and a presence greater than himself was there alongside him. The Emperor Protects...or rather the Emperor Lives.
@@mrgreen6980 about different factions. Imagine the Xenos seeing this. The mad Ork hordes, stopping for but a sliver of an instant as they are bathed in glorious light. Their very DNA screaming in recognition, if but lightly. A feeling of awe and fear and excitement not felt since the very birth of their species. The Tau, be it in the main empire or any independent enclave, caught in a war that, while they believe in the greater good with all their hooves, seems pointless in the middle of all the monstrous carnage only to look up into the sky and to be bathed in light that consists of something that they, maybe not their comrades but maybe they too, had lost long ago... Hope. Hope so grand, so pure, so perfect that it could only come from someone who looked over and saw a small and weak species grow to one of the most powerful factions in the galaxy. Exactly what the Tau soldier fights to happen to his people. The Eldar, be it Drukhari or Aeldari, just looking up into the sky. The same feeling of recognition as the Orks, but no not the same feeling. Where the Ork felt excitement and awe, the Eldar just felt the same fear and intimidation their ancestors felt so long ago. The feeling only got from a rebellious child seeing a glimpse of their parent's belt. The Tyranid Hivemind. Seeing nothing, and feeling nothing more, then the idea that the next meal is gonna be very filling.
Late as hell to the party. But I think that the Rules of the bout specified basically that the Imperium forces just had to survive with Karamazov alive as well for a certain amount of time.
What makes me smile the most about this episode isn't even fully pictured. When the Star Child possesses Fyodor, you see the entire galaxy witnessing it. I imagine the billions of humans, Guardsman and PDF in battle, slaves taken by the Orks, Deldar, and Chaos, all of humanity that are in their darkest hour. I picture them innately knowing that the pure love and compassion of the Emperor, something not seen in tens of millenia, has returned. Can you imagine the morale of the Imperium at that moment? A much needed boost for humanity.
@Cian McCabe his conversation with Gulliman in Dark Imperium shows a level of love for humanity as a race, especially his "only in death does duty end" quote. But regardless, even without compassion his end goal was to conquerthe Galaxy for humanity and a giant bug eating it all kinda throws a wrench in that
I love how Russ's reaction to the emperor fydor is an exact replica to how Magnus reacted when offered liberation from chaos by skeleton emperor. This series is magnificent and deep behind all the comedy.
There are tiny little details hiden all over. In Ep.24 Leman says to Fyodor that he can not be the Emperor, for anyone would know if he is the Emperor just by his sheer presence, and here, he just goes “father” without any doubt.
That moment when an ancient super human, a man to never know fear or get sick, a man who loss his best of friends, brothers, and betrayed by those closest to him, hardened by 10,000 years of killing, maiming, and searching, for one brief moment, that man was brought to his knees as an awe stuck boy who's painful suffering surrendered to a glimpse of hope.
I love how the repeated “Tanky” comments is a not-so-subtle hint about how all the Tempestus Scions are named after WW2 tanks. Cromwell... Grant... Stuart... Matilda... Priest...
Go back to the very first episode of TTS and see how far you've progressed since the day we first heard the Emperors voice. You've made something great, something unprecedented within the 40k community, and you should be proud of it
15:40 Small detail I noticed, *both* Draigo and The Masque are violently vibrating while he's saying his monologue, it's as if she's trying to keep up with him, so not only did Draigo out-crazy the (formerly) highest-ranking Daemon of Slaanesh, he also managed to out-dance her, a feat that canonically has only been accomplished once by a Solitaire.
A fantastic detail that I've missed even after half a dozen rewatches. I keep coming back to this series and reading comments for things like this. Good eye
Not just that, he just outdanced the dancer that pissed off slaanesh and got forced to dance for the rest of time, or at least i assume given the "i long to languish under my lord once again" comment
@@gatordragon6140 Yup, that's their in-lore backstory. They were Slaanesh's handmaiden/entertainer of sorts, always cheered her up when them was down. One day Slaanesh was feeling down and the Masque did their usual routine and tried to cheer their master by dancing, but for some reason Slaanesh got the impression they were being mocked by the Masque, so they cursed them to dance eternally. Pretty cool you managed to extrapolate their lore from this scene.
After watching this episode I cant help but think back on how Magnus mentioned that every thought or feeling a person has both consciously and unconsciously becomes reality in the warp. It makes me wonder if thats why the emperor told Fyodor that he is him before having magnus send him to the warp. He needed him to truly believe it before he could 'fuse' with him.
That was absolutely the plan. If Fyodor had just been gracelessly chucked into the Warp, he'd have succumbed to despair long before they reached the Gate. His ego, ginormous though it was, would not have survived that far without Throne!Emps giving it a massive boost.
You know a series is good, when you have people speculating on hidden meanings. This series is so thought out I feel like I'm watching an actual professional writer make a Warhammer 40k story. I still can't believe this is a UA-cam parody
Leman saying "Father?" broke me. To see this drunk, stubborn, manly man in complete and utter disbelief call for his father tugs the heartstrings hard.
The best part was that in previous episodes he was disgusted by the very notion that Karamasov was his father, stating that the emperor's very presence radiates immeasurable power an charisma, that when your in his presence, YOU KNOW who he was. So I thought it was brilliant how at this moment, no explanation was needed. Leman innately know, that the emperor has arrived.
"We all remember where we were then. On the First Day. "I was on Perlia. We were still cleaning up the wreckage from the Second Siege - counting our own dead, trying to rebuild what Warmaster Varan knocked over - while I was stuck running interference for Amberly while she made sure anyone who saw who really knew what happened to the Shadowlight was either pulled off-world or... encouraged to forget. "And somehow in the middle of it all, the survivors of my class of commissar cadets scraped together a brief memorial for Donal - the poor kid who Varan brainwashed and set against us. Those of you who've read these rambling memoirs of mine know I'm not known for my piety, no matter what my popular image might suggest. Yet somehow I got stuck with giving the eulogy for a young man who reminded me all too much of myself in my younger days. "I kept it as short as I could, but it wound up being even shorter than I'd planned. No sooner had I concluded a not-altogether inaccurate account of Donal's bravery and sacrifice and was about to finish off with some Emperor-bothering nonsense I'd been mouthing since I'd graduated from the Schola Progenium and bundled off to the 12th Valhallan Field Artillery. "That's when it happened. "We all looked up from the flag-draped casket to the sky - feeling what was happening before we saw it: What started as a brilliant star, shining even in the middle of the afternoon, swelled and grew brighter and brighter. But odd though that was, it paled next to what we FELT. Things were as bleak as we'd ever seen them in the Imperium - a new Black Crusade was starting, we'd just felt the barest hints of it's beginnings here on Perlia, with a relatively minor Chaos warband and it had left the populated sections of the planet ass-deep in corpses - yet we all knew, looking up at that silvery light in the sky that Abbadon's latest adventure was doomed. Not without effort and sacrifice, like poor Donal's, but at the end of the night, Terra and the Imperium would survive. "Because He was back. The Emperor lived again. "No one needed to be told either. I looked out at the faces of those students I'd tried to forge into something that might survive the crucible of war without being killed by their own side - and I saw it all on their faces. "I saw it on Amberly's face when she appeared next to me and held my hand - for a short while at least, neither of us gave a damn who saw, as she whispered three words to me in the most heartfelt tone I'd ever heard from her: "'Happy New Year'." -- Lord Commissar Ciaphas Cain, 001.M42
"I've been waiting for you, you throne-bound, angry, incre-he-hedibly hypocritical man. I'm going to feel right at home." That was both hilarious, genuinely epic, _and_ strangely heartwarming.
I actually kinda wonder how much of it was part of the plan, and whether the Throne Emperor and the Star Child are acting independently or if they are still in contact somehow. The Emperor did seem to know a lot about Karamazov and may have singled him out as a suitable vessel. And the Star Child's dialogue suggests he anticipated Karamazov appearing at the Gates of Khaine. Granted there are a lot of factors here that would normally be impossible to account for (which would make it more of a Xanatos Roulette) but then again he is the Emperor and shit. An interesting detail is that the Eldar episode that precedes this one heavily implies that Vect knew this would happen and that he's looking forward to meeting the Star-Fyodperor.
you might be right that Emperor wanted to make another vessel for starchild. He said to Magnus he is planning something. Because well the quote that he is waiting for Emperor plan not Fiordor been so self absorbed that he turnet to vessel, Well Emperor also is throne-bound, angry, incre-he-hedibly hypocritical man. And he could say it to both of them And remember popcast, when someone suggested to recreate method that Emperor was made and he REALLY didn't want that to happen. He probably lied about those shamans.
"Have a happy new year pal" This means it's now not Warhammer 40k anymore... This is now a new millenium, started with the rebirth of the Emperors Humanity. In the grim darkness of the 42nd millenium ... there is hope!
*42nd millenia. (sorry) That line should be the official secondary title for this episode. And honestly I'd love to see a W40K sequel-spin-off centered around that idea!
See now this, THIS is the heart and soul of the franchise. Yes it's goofy, yes it drips with inappropriate fan glee and canon-twisting madness for nothing other than laughs, but at it's core TTS delivers what *actual* Games Workshop products lost sight of a looooooooong time ago... ...a sense of self-awareness and actual fucking FUN!
22:57 "Do not worry, even when you are gone, you will always be by our side". I find this phrase so touching, especially seeing as how the Star Child is meant to be the compassion that the Emperor lost so long ago and that it's finally returned to the galaxy and, more importantly, to humanity as a whole. The literal representation of hope in the grim darkness of the 41st Millennium has raised the seemingly lowliest of humans to Sainthood for his selflessness. It won't be the intelligence of the Emperor that will win us the galaxy, nor his physical might or his psychic powers, but his compassion and love.
I don’t know much about the star child but I like to think in the last moments of some of the best guardsmen or the most selfless the star child appears and has them take a rest from the galactic shit show that is 40k
@Juni Post Leaves me wondering what will happen if the Throne-Emperor and Feyodperor merge. On second thought, they're probably going to avoid that, as that either would result in the Fyodperor losing his (admittedly technically limited) mobility, or the Golden Throne Shutting down... I guess either way they won't need to feed the Emperor thousands of shrieking psychic children every day?
Anyone else tear up a little over Dominique? Fyodor is an ass, but it's rather touching seeing that little right-hand man give his one friend a final farewell before he passed on into his eternal reward at the side of the emperor.
Dominique goes to a better place for his service to the Golden Throne...a realm of infinite fine sandpaper cigarettes and millions of oily, muscled topless men with huge, groaning lascannons ready to unload their fiery jets for his amusement.
24:29 As the war continues its spirit crushing storm over humanity and the galaxy. A soldier, no powerful then any Space marine or Psyker. Felt wetness upon his cheeks, touching it, he felt...tears? Why? His brethren, his surrounding kin, were the same. For they looked to the sky, beyond the clouds, far off into the darkest depths of cold, unflinching space. Warmth, something that was taken from them a millennial ago. As the Surge of power washed over them and the universe, their tears traveled with it. For they felt hope for the first time in a long time. For at last, their emperor had returned.
Civil security lite 12054 Nah, he's not an inquisitor. I've already found out who he is. It's Urlik the Slayer, the Wolf High Priest of the Space Wolves.
I didn't think I'd actually get the least bit choked up what with all these inquisitorial forces getting axed, but wow, that whole thing was quite heartfelt. Also, I'm honestly floored how Randolph Carter managed to totally sell both Star Child AND Vect, of all different characters.
*cries a fungus tear* oy... Dats a beaut. Dem 'ummies'll have deir warboss bak an' beta dan eva! Mae yore shank be blody, an' yur dakka stronk, pink skin.
It's been 5 days, I have watched episode 1 to 26 in 5 days with little prior knowledge of the lore and universe of Warhammer 40K, and this series is now making me wish to read up on it among other things, which maaaaaay have driven me into a W40K phase.
Jesus Ch... * ahem * holy Emperor this is too much! There're so many layers of greatness in this I don't even know where to start! What a conclusion of the Karamazov story branch - Emps told him he's the Emperor...except he obviously isn't...except he IS??! And that Dominique send-off?? This should go into a textbook about how to correctly use deus ex machina - YEARS of build-up, concluded with a desperate battle and a literal, lore-consistant god turning everything around. FLAWLESS. Every single voice actor went above and beyond in this episode. The Scions. The Sisters if Battle. Kaldor Drago. EVERYONE. The editing is on point, the music matches everything perfectly, and the filler dialogs are consistently funny and well delivered that the whole tabletop session is fully engaging to someone who doesn't play tabletop...this is nothing short of a masterpiece. You and your crew have done something truly special. Thank you.
Man, this comment. It's too much for my weak brain. It doesn't feel like I, or this series, would ever deserve such a nice comment. Thank you, man. Really. It's appreciated in every sense of the word.
It most assuredly does, my dude. I'm just typing away on my keyboard, *you* guys have been working on this for years, honing your crafts and delivering quality W40K entertainment better than GW themselves *and* pretty much 90% of UA-cam :D
I came back to this after "Fate of TTS" just so i could feel what you gave to the 40k universe Bruva.....hope. Thank you for giving the grimdark future hope. I hope you lead a happy life and a long one. To me this is the end of the series.
I love much of the 40k lore but this transcends it all to be one of my favourite series of all time. Has good as anything I've ever seem in tv, movie or book. It just hit ever note that can be hit. It's funny, it's interesting, it's got action, it's dramatic and it hits you right in the feels.
"I've been waiting for you, you, throne-bound, angry, increhehehedibly hypocritical man. I'm going to feel right at home." If he hadn't rejected his compassion all those millennia ago, he would have been able to recognize and plan around his flaws, and so much wouldn't have happened as it did. It seems Emps has learned something from it all.
@@j.g.3293 " said The Emperor, sitting on life support upon a throne perched upon a mountain of mistakes and failures overlooking the crumbling degraded ruins of everything he had tried to achieve.
The end of this episode is redemption -- not for Karamazov (well, a little) but for the Emperor. The Emperor has redeemed himself and with it, taken the biggest step toward redeeming the galaxy.
@@elduquecaradura1468 But he does. He says he’s “always” right. But then he’ll probably twist it so that he’s always right “in the present” and technically, it’s always the present. He could be wrong in the past or wrong in the future, but he’s always right in the present.
The best part about the ending is that in the dreamscape of light that heralds the Emperor's rebirth, one thing could be seen other than the light... snow. The Emperor gifted his son with a dreamscape of light and snow, like a clear winters day in the early morning.What a way to make a return.
Damn, that makes it even more sad, especially for Leeman whos honesty , probably given up on there being peace, but seeing the emperor returns probably brought it back
A thing Leman has likely missed for all this time. I know id miss snow if I grew up on what's space Scandinavia and got lost in an eternal dementia hell
Star Child: "I'm going to feel right at home." StringStorm: *S H R E D S* [Hope INTENSIFIES] StringStorm: *pianos* Leman Russ: "... Father?" Me: *sobbing*
The Emperor's lack of compassion is what made his sons turn on him. The Star Child returning to his corporeal form to fuse with the Emperor is probably a good thing all around for everybody including the traitor-legions and non-genocidal xenos (basically the Eldar & maybe the Tau).
Questionable Object the blood axes klan of the orks as well, basically they are followers of Mork rather than gork and with that they are more dangerous because they prefer to sneak up on their enemy and ambush him
I cry when the Star Child fuses with Fydor, and when Dominique goes to the afterlife, i mean it's just so...... HAPPY, that's not something you see often in 40K, is it? They finally have something they've not had in a LONG TIME, and that's HOPE. I'm crying again now...... :)
By the way... it was 999 M41 in TTS. "Have a happy new year pal" This means it's now not Warhammer 40k anymore... (if you're confused, just remember that the years 1900-1999 were called the 20th century ;)) This is now a new millenium, started with the rebirth of the Emperors Humanity. In the grim darkness of the *42nd century* ... there is hope! Welcome to Warhammer 41k!
Holy hell. I just realized that when the star child said, "you will always be by our side." He not only meant metaphorically, but literally as well. If you look at the throne after Fyodor is enfused by the star child, you can see dominique's casket latched to the throne by golden chains. This show is so damn good.
Most times when something tries to evoke sidesplitting mirth, awe-inspired chills, and moving emotion in rapid succession, it fails at all three. Tonal-inconsistency is the bane of audience immersion in a story. I bring that up because this video, and TTS as a whole, has consistently been able to pull off hilarious, awesome, and tearjerking without any of them feeling like they interfere with the others. Not only that, but you're doing it in such a difficult medium to pull off. There are so many potential points of failure in TTS that I'm convinced there was SOME sort of Faustian-bargain involved in production because you've consistently dodged seemingly every pitfall. In something like TTS, our immersion is dependent on everything from characterization consistency, quality dialogue, quality voice acting, amusing humor, and good animation...any one of them could, at any time, be the thing that we just have to muscle through for the sake of the other three, but that's never the case, at least in my experience. I guess the bottom line is that I didn't want to shortsell what I think of this series with one or two lines about how awesome I think it is. Seeing so many things I didn't expect to be not only present, but STELLAR in what I got into just as a 40k comedy series brings to mind a Rube Goldberg machine: as bizarre as it is to look at, everything clearly had a whole lot of thought put into how it interacts with the whole, and it all goes off like clockwork. So kudos, man. You and everyone else involved in TTS have made something magical.
To think that something this huge, so big that it has begun affecting the Authors at Black Library and how they write these characters started off with just the simple concept of "What if the Emperor had a text to speech device". And now it regularly reaches nearly a million people. Bravo Alfabusa. Bravo. And to everybody else involved (and hoo boy, there's a bunch of you.) It's all a great example of if you are passionate about something, you should pursue it. It might be a CRAZY amount of effort but hot damn, the results speak for themselves.
sombodi200 If I remember correctly, Aaron Dembski-Bowden stated he was a fan of TTS - he discovered it after people drew comparisons to a character in one of his books to someone from the TTS-verse. Anyways, he was like ‘what the hell are these guys talking about’ and found this. He loves it. Also, Gathering Storm has revealed Big E is a massive jerkass like TTS Emp. That has something to do with it. Other BL authors might be fans of this, I’m not sure.
The ending kills me every time....the love Dominique had for Fyodir, Leman saying “...father??” All of it had me in near tears every time I watch it accompanied with that music track
So Fyodor really does become host to a part of the emperor's soul. Not just because he honestly believed he already was, and wanted to be, and needed to be - but because he was a sanctimonious self-centered hypocritical callous jerk convinved that he and he alone is right - and thus a perfect match for the emperor's psyche. ^.^ Magnus: ... You planed this. Didn't you. Emperor: YES. Magnus: All of it. Emperor: YES. Magnus: That's not the line. Emperor: No. Magnus: Go on. You know you want to. Emperor: I AM NOT SAYING THAT LINE. Magnus: Oh go on - Dad. Emperor: ... Magnus: ... Emperor: SIGH. EVERYTHING IS PROCEEDING AS I HAVE FORESEEN IT. Magnus: Ah. Life is good.
That was a brilliant and hilarious plot twist. Also I have to say the throne-bound Emperor probably didn't plan that far, but will almost certainly still try to pretend he did.
>the masque is on a first-name basis with draigo >she calls him a traitor when he stabs her, like he's (ideally) supposed to do this can't be good for the grey knights.
Due to all the hate for the GK and their new lore, very little of it actually deserved if people used their heads, one of the writers put in a scene where a silver knight is said to be bowing before Slaanesh in child-form. Meant to be saying Draigo's gone on to serve Slaanesh. Directly flying in the face of him being incorruptible, to the point he's been smashing up the Dark Gods' shit this whole time even though it keeps getting repaired instantly and not even hopelessness has settled in at the futility of his actions.
@FeralPhilosopher Dear Lady Potato Salad, It was fun playing house and doctor with you, but my friends and my Dad say we shouldn’t play again because they don’t like it when you hit them and they said man-girl lobsters are icky. I hope we can remain pen pals. Your friend O’Buddy O’Pal O’Chum O’Baba O’Riley Kaldor Draigo
Its interesting to hear the emperor talking about his “other self” (the Star child) saying he threw it away just for progression for humanity Now in his current state he needs to be “human” like actual human with feeling, emotions and attachment ya know *what Uriah Olathaire was trying getting across to the emperor but was too dense to get that*
Jack da ‘alf brain ork the emperor was never truly human, his father was killed at a young age and the long years before the start of the age of strife hardened him to not get too attached to others
It's a shame that in this story-line,Uriah is became a Chaos worshiper after dying and going to the warp,he's soul is summoned by The Emperor in one of the Podcasts.
Ander Lindkvist The emperor did what was best for humanity, by leaving out his own. That’s why I killed and turned on my brothers, that’s why I follow the selfish gods of the warp. The imperium is a cancer, and needs to be gutted by the hands of someone riddled with another disease. My gods will play their games, and I will save my emperor and my imperium. Both need to be reborn.
Uriah wasnt trying to convince the emperor to be more human. A more accurate speculation indicates that the emperor cast aside his human emotions of hope love etc because they were the reason that he couldn't kill horus when he had to. If he didnt have those, he wouldnt have ended up in the throne and ollanius pius would most likely be alive, as well as others primarchs. Is he wrong for casting those emotions aside? Yes propably, but dont forget the emperor felt guilty and a failure (because he couldnt kill his son) before he entered the throne.
Everyone is talking about Leman Russ and Dominique, but the real tear jerker for me was when the Star Emps labels all of the things about Fyodor and just admits that he is all of those things. One of the more infuriating bits of throne Emps is how sure he is that he's the hotshit, despite being wrong constantly. Seeing this part of him is just heartwarming and shows he knows he's flawed.
Fun Fact: Eliphas who voices the SAAASSS Knight according to the wiki actually hated his role and tried to have his char killed on table top just so he didn’t need to voice him.
Considering the emperor literally bullied tzeentch in a weakened and dying state as if it was a casual schoolyard dare from Magnus, he will probably just beat it up with his mind and have it fly itself in its entirety, into the stars
Elen Degenerate I have actually got a theory that when the emperor returns to full strength with all his soul fragments restored to him he will be of such power that he could override the central hive mind and take control of a tyranid fleet. Imagine a fleet is attacking a planet and the guardsmen are defending it with everything they have and their gun barrels are seconds away from melting from the constant shooting when all of a sudden the tyranid swarm stops dead in their tracks, confused one of the guardsmen radios it in to headquarters that the xenos have stopped attacking and they reply to say they have gotten similar reports from other companies, suddenly one of the tyranids steps forward and writes something on the ground and backs away the guardsmen very cautiously moves up to see what he wrote and it nearly causes him to faint, the rest of the men curious as to what the xeno wrote and why it caused such a reaction says” the god-emperor lives again”
I'll have better comments later, but lemme just add on to the pile of positivity about the voice acting. Special props to MissVile who was great in Bro Trip and has a great encore appearance here, the whole Scions crew for being British as all hell, and Skarbrand for making me like Skarbrand.
He is the living saint's companion now, a symbol of light and hope in the darkest hour... So get that man a sandpaper cigerette before I start crying again
weldonwin May he be forerver known as Saint Dominique The Companion: The Patreon Saint of all Companions. His voice may not have been beautiful, but everything else was.
Dominique: Hey Feyodor, In Raging day, in fearful night, with strong hearts full our souls ignight. When all seems lost in the war of light, look to the stars, for hope burns bright! QUIET DOMINIQUE!!!
¡For the first time in 10 Millennia Orkoz, gorko and morko (we call em like that in spanish speakers countrys) knew they will found finaly a proper fight!
He doesn't steal, he doesn't go back on his word, and he makes sure his (blood) taxes are paid on time and in full. I'd say that makes him pretty respectable, all things considered.
How does a youtube parody make a more emotional scene than some high budget TV shows. That Star child scene was up there with the piccolo kami assimilation scene from DBZ abridged and the SAO abdriged scene where Yui dies. Utterly fanatastic!
what live always found in these abridged series is that the motive is personnel, a love of the subject, most of the time, and little else at the beginning. and look what it's created.
That voice-over work for the "I don't see any fucking cover" was actually bloody amazing. Not to say the voice over work is ever bad, but that was outstanding.
While the visuals of TTS are nothing to be scoffed at, it's so amazing to see what kind of stories can be made from some dedicated writers. This is the progression to the 40K universe I've been waiting years for; and it didn't come in the form of some big budget TV series or movie, it was from a UA-camr who loves 40K. My biggest issue with 40K has always been the story is in an endless loop, which compliments the endless war. But as a human being I strive for resolutions and the evolution of a story, and finally getting an opportunity to see the Emperor in his full glory after the Horus Heresy is mind-blowing. To see how the galaxy reacts to the rebirth of the most powerful being in existence & to watch him bring humanity back from certain doom will be one of, if not the most satisfying story ever told in the 40K universe.
I love how all of these tabletop failures, most of which would have been incredibly implausible when rendered realistically, are totally in-character for Kaldor Draigo.
@@cianbarry9207 HERESY the Emperor is not *THICC* he is The Motherfucking Emperor which means he is *THICCCCCCCCCCCC* Like *THICCER* then rogals skull thick. Anything else is heresy Sincerely Valerian Damocles Marcellus. Ordo Hereticus. Imperial Inqusition.
21:50 - 25:12 This whole segment is just incredible beyond my words to describe. The soundtrack fits it perfectly, and the last moments where Russ goes "Father?" genuinely made me start crying. Goddamn *bravo* Alfabusa and everyone else that made this possible.
Damn, dude. The Dominique send off probably was one of my favorite moments from the whole series, I never thought TTS would get me close to freaking crying. This really was your best episode so far, Alfa. Looking forward to the next one as always.
A light has been kindled Brighter than a billion suns Throughout the darkest corners of the void Hope returns to the galaxy Rejoice, humanity For the Emperor is coming home
This episode is an inspiration. Not just to writers, but to everyone. This series started off as a joke. Now look at the masterclass of writing, dialogue, plotting, referencing ... I believe again. You can make something out of so little, and Bruva Alfabusa and his friends have taught us that.
This was one hell of an episode, likely the best one yet. I loved the incorporation of the table top, adds another layer. And I gotta say, having been with this series from the beginning, I marvel at how far it’s come, from some satyre to possibly one of the greatest 40K storylines in existence. I feel as though many will agree when I say this rivals the stories written by GW themselves despite the nature of the work having been a joke at least to an extent. Truly good job lads, can’t wait till the next one.
While I couldn't ever claim TTS to be on the same level as some of the great books BL has produced--I really, really do appreciate those words. Thank you.
Sometimes I do feel like fan made stories are much better than most of the stuff GW puts out. Another great example is Tales of the Emperasque, really recommended for anyone who hasn't read it yet. 1d4chan.org/wiki/The_Tales_of_the_Emperasque:_Part_One
IMO 40k is at it's best when it doesn't really take itself all that seriously, hence my favorite BL series being Ciaphas Cain, and TTS in many ways seems to descend from that line of thinking.
@@Zohess During the battle of Bastogne in WW2 the 101st Airborne was surrounded in the town of Bastogne (funnily enough) by huge numbers of German forces. When the German commander sent a letter asking the 101st to surrender the reply he got back was; "To the German Commander, Nuts! Signed, the American Commander" The 101st eventually made it out after being relieved by US Army units after a week of constant siege.
24:10 And the Warp was flooded with a burst of holy light, that all servants of chaos either turned away from or were burned by. The light flooded out the Eye of Terror and into the galaxy. The xenos who saw it felt fear, dread, and power beyond anything else. But to every member of the Imperium, they felt hope, warmth and courage. For all these races and beings knew one thing as this light spread across the stars: The Emperor of Mankind has returned.
Go to the time stamp 6:38 pause the video and look at the bottom left corner of the screen the second person from the left walking amongst the inquisitors is Gandalf. You can recognise him from his grey robes, beard and especially his hat.
"Inquisitor, you ask me what we saw, and I have told you truly. We were entrenched, and hard-pressed, but we held the line... until we saw the Traitor Legionnaires. They were advancing on us, their cursed ceramite resisting the holy lances of our lasguns. Some fell, but most strode towards us. That's when our ship's Navigator… our Navigator began to scream. The Captain of our vessel in orbit deemed it necessary to broadcast it upon our frequency for some reason. The Navigator was screaming that he could not see the Astronomican anymore, because a much greater and brighter light occluded it, and it was getting brighter by the moment. A light that had sprung into existance in the Eye of Terror. And then he simply went incoherent, going from terror to joy in an instant, screaming wildly about the Touch of the Emperor's Hand. The Traitor Legionnaires stopped, staring at the heavens... and suddenly they began to scream. Their cursed ceramite began to steam, then smoke, then char away. Bright blue flames erupted from the joins in their armor, and they simply collapsed and crumbled to ash, every one of them to a man, until nothing was left. You ask me what we saw, Inquisitor. I have told you. What I saw... was a miracle. But I beg you indulge me, now. Were we the only ones who felt the Emperor's Touch?"
Allow me to preemptively apologize to those who don't play tabletop 'cause TTS is now capitalizing on tabletop being a thing. I really like expanding horizons.
Expect Part 2 to be up a month from now. I could release it earlier, but I'd like to space these out just a bit so I can give myself some time to finish up Part 3.
This has been the biggest and most intensive thing I've ever worked on. I truly hope you enjoy it, even just a little.
OH, and thank you for your patience!!
Yeah, if we had any sort of forethought we could've recorded the game itself. Hindsight is 20/20.

This was beyond incredible. Yet more evidence that this is arguably the best show on the internet.
So do we have the same wait time on patreon orrrr
That moment when you realize Saint Celestine turned Dominique into a dove.
A dove is, in many faiths, the symbol of ascending to sainthood, or a Saint themselves.
We witnessed his ascension.
@TP-Force Well a dove is a symbol for many things. It can mean freedom, it can also mean the Holy Spirit. It also CAN be a symbol of sainthood though. And none of these really are contradictory motifs either.
@@ThePa1riot it can also mean shit is about to go down according to the venerable Saint Jonathan of Woo

Eh, that's about Draigo. He can be charitably described as unreliable.

No matter how op you are, you can still be laid low by bad rolls. A life lesson really
I'm not familiar with the tabletop game. Is Draigo stronger than Russ? Also, why wasn't Russ fighting here?
@@TLOK1918 Well, he really shouldn't be, but in lore at least, not on the tabletop, Draigo is an extremely stupid mary sue who does impossible things on a daily basis because GW let a fanfiction writing neckbeard in, so who knows.
Russ has no rules in the tabletop. He went missing in the warp after all.
Russ going, "Father?" ... May very well have killed me inside. Dude just misses his Dad, and I totally understand that.
He also now understands Fyodor has become part of his father
All people with daddy issues do “ me included”
The worst/best part is the hitch in his voice just before he says that.
@@loganthegoldenheron8786 Agreed. It's some great voice acting in that moment.
Though i wonder why. I can see if its Lorgar, but Leman? Couldn't actually missed what you never had.
Wait a moment... Kairos can see the future. When he says revenge will be his, he'd know it wouldn't, which means at that moment, that head was lying. Which means the OTHER head would have had to be telling the truth. Which means... KAIROS DOES LOVE SKARBRAND.
Head Canon confirmed
The point of Kairos is not that one head can only say truth while the other says only lies. It's that when one head tells truth, the other tells the lie. They can and often do switch around. But of course his lore is specifically spelled the way to mislead the reader it's the former way around. JUST. AS. PLANNED
@@DoctorM42 That... and as far as I'm aware, we don't know if he needs to concentrate to see the future, and if he does, his concentration was probably disrupted by adrenaline from the fight, being nettled about Skarbrand getting the credit for his kills, and finally, his pure anger towards Adrielle.

So, who else wasn't expecting a silly little show about the emperor having a text to speech devise would end up making them literally tear up and be overcome with emotions?
No one, certainly not me. Damn this writing has been on point for such a long time now.
When i read the bit about the Starchild, it finally clicked. The embodiment of the Emperor's compassion, love and kindness merging with one who was the opposite to make a balance. That was the plan!
Even better that now we know where did the emperor's fAbUlOuS hair go.
That’s how I felt towards red vs blue
I came to the comment section to see if i was the only one! Yet here we are my borthers and sisters
The sounds of battle overcame the lone guardsman, huddled in his foxhole, his hands trembling as he reached for one more spare powerpack for his lasrifle. He found none. He looked to his left, his friend, dead, his rifle failed him. To his right, he watched as a heretic astartes bolt round removed his sergeant's head in a shower of blood, bone and gore. Then he heard the stomp of cerimite boots close, and, the hateful laughter of a killing god.
He looked up, looked to the sky, praying for a glimpse of holy Terra, only to see the heretic marine recoil, recoil in physical pain as a blinding pure white light wash over and through him. A new feeling was felt, one deep in his chest, one he had never felt before. He turned, and, grabbed from the corpse of his NCO the last powerpack he could find, and affixed his bayonet. Even amid the screams of burning, wailing, inhuman killing machines. The light, so bright, so peaceful, it continued to wash over them, bathe them, all of the survivors of his company. Each stood, looking first to the heavens, seeing for the first time, the new dawning of mankind, and, then, they stood, and cast back the recoiling dark forms, of the traitors, those that cast aside what made them human.
And as he and the others charged into the wailing, writhing, screaming forms of the heretic marines, they understood what the feeling in their hearts were. It was hope. At long last, it was hope. Not for them, nor this planet they had fought on, but, for mankind. All, of mankind.
Hope. Was rekindled, and all of mankind, no matter how downtrodden, and beaten had seen it, the light of hope return, once more, forever. Hope, was rekindled, at last.
SUPERCANON.
For the Emperor of Mankind has returned, and with him, hope.
Not just canon itself. Can ye imagine something like this felt across the Galaxy? As the light of the Emperor was seen illuminating nearly the entire cosmos and even beyond that.
For the Imperium - it was something rare and amazing indeed. I mean, let us count the numerous reactions of our many favorite factions. For a Sister of Battle to feel something like it, I'd be surprised if they didn't collapse and cry tears of joy - to feel the spirit and majesty of the God-Emperor before them. For the lonely Astartes - he but a moment could feel something he likely had cast out ages ago; his Humanity. For the crew of any void vessel in or outside the Warp - they saw their way forward, for the God-Emperor shone even to their distant shores.
And...the Imperial Guardsman. The lonely human in a tide and sea of darkness. The person whom has merely heard whispers and tales of the God-Emperor...either as propaganda or as prayers that rarely seem heard. For a moment...he wouldn't be heard alone...the young boy heading to war or the lone veteran holding against the Tyranids - he'd known for a moment, he wasn't alone...and a presence greater than himself was there alongside him.
The Emperor Protects...or rather the Emperor Lives.
@@mrgreen6980 about different factions. Imagine the Xenos seeing this.
The mad Ork hordes, stopping for but a sliver of an instant as they are bathed in glorious light. Their very DNA screaming in recognition, if but lightly. A feeling of awe and fear and excitement not felt since the very birth of their species.
The Tau, be it in the main empire or any independent enclave, caught in a war that, while they believe in the greater good with all their hooves, seems pointless in the middle of all the monstrous carnage only to look up into the sky and to be bathed in light that consists of something that they, maybe not their comrades but maybe they too, had lost long ago... Hope. Hope so grand, so pure, so perfect that it could only come from someone who looked over and saw a small and weak species grow to one of the most powerful factions in the galaxy. Exactly what the Tau soldier fights to happen to his people.
The Eldar, be it Drukhari or Aeldari, just looking up into the sky. The same feeling of recognition as the Orks, but no not the same feeling. Where the Ork felt excitement and awe, the Eldar just felt the same fear and intimidation their ancestors felt so long ago. The feeling only got from a rebellious child seeing a glimpse of their parent's belt.
The Tyranid Hivemind. Seeing nothing, and feeling nothing more, then the idea that the next meal is gonna be very filling.
This was beautiful to read while the song was going

*B R O T H E R ! ! ! I WILL RESPAWN!*

What makes me smile the most about this episode isn't even fully pictured.
When the Star Child possesses Fyodor, you see the entire galaxy witnessing it.
I imagine the billions of humans, Guardsman and PDF in battle, slaves taken by the Orks, Deldar, and Chaos, all of humanity that are in their darkest hour. I picture them innately knowing that the pure love and compassion of the Emperor, something not seen in tens of millenia, has returned.
Can you imagine the morale of the Imperium at that moment? A much needed boost for humanity.
How bright was that light? It made the Hivemind flinch. MADE. IT FLINCH!!
You can actually get a glimpse of its tendrils when the camera zooms out at its fullest extent.
Look up mankind, look up into that darkened sky full of terrors and see the light of hope blazing bright once more
@Magni56 it was the Emperors way of telling it "GET OFF MY LAWN"
@Cian McCabe his conversation with Gulliman in Dark Imperium shows a level of love for humanity as a race, especially his "only in death does duty end" quote. But regardless, even without compassion his end goal was to conquerthe Galaxy for humanity and a giant bug eating it all kinda throws a wrench in that
I love how Russ's reaction to the emperor fydor is an exact replica to how Magnus reacted when offered liberation from chaos by skeleton emperor. This series is magnificent and deep behind all the comedy.
They are their father's sons, after all
There are tiny little details hiden all over. In Ep.24 Leman says to Fyodor that he can not be the Emperor, for anyone would know if he is the Emperor just by his sheer presence, and here, he just goes “father” without any doubt.

"Priestly" may be a reference to Rick Priestly, the guy who created Warhammer 40k. Or it could be referencing both at the same time.
Go back to the very first episode of TTS and see how far you've progressed since the day we first heard the Emperors voice.
You've made something great, something unprecedented within the 40k community, and you should be proud of it

15:40 Small detail I noticed, *both* Draigo and The Masque are violently vibrating while he's saying his monologue, it's as if she's trying to keep up with him, so not only did Draigo out-crazy the (formerly) highest-ranking Daemon of Slaanesh, he also managed to out-dance her, a feat that canonically has only been accomplished once by a Solitaire.
A fantastic detail that I've missed even after half a dozen rewatches. I keep coming back to this series and reading comments for things like this. Good eye
@@PistonWasTaken Cheers!
Not just that, he just outdanced the dancer that pissed off slaanesh and got forced to dance for the rest of time, or at least i assume given the "i long to languish under my lord once again" comment
@@gatordragon6140 Yup, that's their in-lore backstory.
They were Slaanesh's handmaiden/entertainer of sorts, always cheered her up when them was down.
One day Slaanesh was feeling down and the Masque did their usual routine and tried to cheer their master by dancing, but for some reason Slaanesh got the impression they were being mocked by the Masque, so they cursed them to dance eternally.
Pretty cool you managed to extrapolate their lore from this scene.
After watching this episode I cant help but think back on how Magnus mentioned that every thought or feeling a person has both consciously and unconsciously becomes reality in the warp. It makes me wonder if thats why the emperor told Fyodor that he is him before having magnus send him to the warp. He needed him to truly believe it before he could 'fuse' with him.
Good point my friend.
That was absolutely the plan. If Fyodor had just been gracelessly chucked into the Warp, he'd have succumbed to despair long before they reached the Gate. His ego, ginormous though it was, would not have survived that far without Throne!Emps giving it a massive boost.
Good point.
I'm pretty sure that's what the Emperor was counting on.
You know a series is good, when you have people speculating on hidden meanings. This series is so thought out I feel like I'm watching an actual professional writer make a Warhammer 40k story. I still can't believe this is a UA-cam parody
Leman saying "Father?" broke me. To see this drunk, stubborn, manly man in complete and utter disbelief call for his father tugs the heartstrings hard.
Stomp Chunkman It's the first time he's seen his father in over ten millennia.
It's the first time he's seen his better, seen hope, in just as long.
i miss my dad
I don't think anyone watching this series, myself included, ever expected it to move us to tears, but it has
The best part was that in previous episodes he was disgusted by the very notion that Karamasov was his father, stating that the emperor's very presence radiates immeasurable power an charisma, that when your in his presence, YOU KNOW who he was.
So I thought it was brilliant how at this moment, no explanation was needed. Leman innately know, that the emperor has arrived.
I rewatch TTS every few months and I cry every single time.

Russ line in "HA is that it, clank yer shield and announce yer curses, there is battle to be won today!"
If only she actually did anything...
"We all remember where we were then. On the First Day.
"I was on Perlia. We were still cleaning up the wreckage from the Second Siege - counting our own dead, trying to rebuild what Warmaster Varan knocked over - while I was stuck running interference for Amberly while she made sure anyone who saw who really knew what happened to the Shadowlight was either pulled off-world or... encouraged to forget.
"And somehow in the middle of it all, the survivors of my class of commissar cadets scraped together a brief memorial for Donal - the poor kid who Varan brainwashed and set against us. Those of you who've read these rambling memoirs of mine know I'm not known for my piety, no matter what my popular image might suggest. Yet somehow I got stuck with giving the eulogy for a young man who reminded me all too much of myself in my younger days.
"I kept it as short as I could, but it wound up being even shorter than I'd planned. No sooner had I concluded a not-altogether inaccurate account of Donal's bravery and sacrifice and was about to finish off with some Emperor-bothering nonsense I'd been mouthing since I'd graduated from the Schola Progenium and bundled off to the 12th Valhallan Field Artillery.
"That's when it happened.
"We all looked up from the flag-draped casket to the sky - feeling what was happening before we saw it: What started as a brilliant star, shining even in the middle of the afternoon, swelled and grew brighter and brighter. But odd though that was, it paled next to what we FELT. Things were as bleak as we'd ever seen them in the Imperium - a new Black Crusade was starting, we'd just felt the barest hints of it's beginnings here on Perlia, with a relatively minor Chaos warband and it had left the populated sections of the planet ass-deep in corpses - yet we all knew, looking up at that silvery light in the sky that Abbadon's latest adventure was doomed. Not without effort and sacrifice, like poor Donal's, but at the end of the night, Terra and the Imperium would survive.
"Because He was back. The Emperor lived again.
"No one needed to be told either. I looked out at the faces of those students I'd tried to forge into something that might survive the crucible of war without being killed by their own side - and I saw it all on their faces.
"I saw it on Amberly's face when she appeared next to me and held my hand - for a short while at least, neither of us gave a damn who saw, as she whispered three words to me in the most heartfelt tone I'd ever heard from her:
"'Happy New Year'."

Fervidor i cri everi tiem
Was that all a freaking Xanatos Gambit by the Emperor????
I actually kinda wonder how much of it was part of the plan, and whether the Throne Emperor and the Star Child are acting independently or if they are still in contact somehow. The Emperor did seem to know a lot about Karamazov and may have singled him out as a suitable vessel. And the Star Child's dialogue suggests he anticipated Karamazov appearing at the Gates of Khaine.
Granted there are a lot of factors here that would normally be impossible to account for (which would make it more of a Xanatos Roulette) but then again he is the Emperor and shit.
An interesting detail is that the Eldar episode that precedes this one heavily implies that Vect knew this would happen and that he's looking forward to meeting the Star-Fyodperor.
Dumb question, but do any of you know the name of the theme that plays during this moment?
you might be right that Emperor wanted to make another vessel for starchild. He said to Magnus he is planning something.
Because well the quote that he is waiting for Emperor plan not Fiordor been so self absorbed that he turnet to vessel, Well Emperor also is throne-bound, angry, incre-he-hedibly hypocritical man. And he could say it to both of them
And remember popcast, when someone suggested to recreate method that Emperor was made and he REALLY didn't want that to happen.
He probably lied about those shamans.

22:57 "Do not worry, even when you are gone, you will always be by our side".
I find this phrase so touching, especially seeing as how the Star Child is meant to be the compassion that the Emperor lost so long ago and that it's finally returned to the galaxy and, more importantly, to humanity as a whole. The literal representation of hope in the grim darkness of the 41st Millennium has raised the seemingly lowliest of humans to Sainthood for his selflessness.
It won't be the intelligence of the Emperor that will win us the galaxy, nor his physical might or his psychic powers, but his compassion and love.
The newest episode literally said the 42 millenum needs a daddy
I don’t know much about the star child but I like to think in the last moments of some of the best guardsmen or the most selfless the star child appears and has them take a rest from the galactic shit show that is 40k
@Juni Post Leaves me wondering what will happen if the Throne-Emperor and Feyodperor merge.
On second thought, they're probably going to avoid that, as that either would result in the Fyodperor losing his (admittedly technically limited) mobility, or the Golden Throne Shutting down...
I guess either way they won't need to feed the Emperor thousands of shrieking psychic children every day?
Wholesome as fuck
Anyone else tear up a little over Dominique? Fyodor is an ass, but it's rather touching seeing that little right-hand man give his one friend a final farewell before he passed on into his eternal reward at the side of the emperor.
There’s a gold coffin where his seat was.
Dominique goes to a better place for his service to the Golden Throne...a realm of infinite fine sandpaper cigarettes and millions of oily, muscled topless men with huge, groaning lascannons ready to unload their fiery jets for his amusement.

His brethren, his surrounding kin, were the same.
For they looked to the sky, beyond the clouds, far off into the darkest depths of cold, unflinching space.
Warmth, something that was taken from them a millennial ago.
As the Surge of power washed over them and the universe, their tears traveled with it.
For they felt hope for the first time in a long time.
For at last, their emperor had returned.
Goddamnit you made me cry. Asshole.

In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war.....but a new hope is born
"Hope never died's.....only lost.....now it has been found"
I didn't think I'd actually get the least bit choked up what with all these inquisitorial forces getting axed, but wow, that whole thing was quite heartfelt. Also, I'm honestly floored how Randolph Carter managed to totally sell both Star Child AND Vect, of all different characters.

It's been 5 days, I have watched episode 1 to 26 in 5 days with little prior knowledge of the lore and universe of Warhammer 40K, and this series is now making me wish to read up on it among other things, which maaaaaay have driven me into a W40K phase.

You not the first nor the last one who is fate is that , like me
Start from 1d4chan, it's pretty close in style.
Your wallet is like your soul and GW is the Warp.
Dragged in.
this series allowed me to better understand the whole 40k universe as a whole
Jesus Ch... * ahem * holy Emperor this is too much! There're so many layers of greatness in this I don't even know where to start! What a conclusion of the Karamazov story branch - Emps told him he's the Emperor...except he obviously isn't...except he IS??! And that Dominique send-off?? This should go into a textbook about how to correctly use deus ex machina - YEARS of build-up, concluded with a desperate battle and a literal, lore-consistant god turning everything around. FLAWLESS.
Every single voice actor went above and beyond in this episode. The Scions. The Sisters if Battle. Kaldor Drago. EVERYONE. The editing is on point, the music matches everything perfectly, and the filler dialogs are consistently funny and well delivered that the whole tabletop session is fully engaging to someone who doesn't play tabletop...this is nothing short of a masterpiece. You and your crew have done something truly special. Thank you.

I do love his new project but I'm still going to miss this. Alfabusa got me into Wh40k.
I love much of the 40k lore but this transcends it all to be one of my favourite series of all time. Has good as anything I've ever seem in tv, movie or book. It just hit ever note that can be hit. It's funny, it's interesting, it's got action, it's dramatic and it hits you right in the feels.

The Emperor's lack of compassion is what made his sons turn on him.
The Star Child returning to his corporeal form to fuse with the Emperor is probably a good thing all around for everybody including the traitor-legions and non-genocidal xenos (basically the Eldar & maybe the Tau).

Holy hell. I just realized that when the star child said, "you will always be by our side." He not only meant metaphorically, but literally as well. If you look at the throne after Fyodor is enfused by the star child, you can see dominique's casket latched to the throne by golden chains.
This show is so damn good.
it takes a true master to give a single word so much impact.
"father?"
Most times when something tries to evoke sidesplitting mirth, awe-inspired chills, and moving emotion in rapid succession, it fails at all three. Tonal-inconsistency is the bane of audience immersion in a story.
I bring that up because this video, and TTS as a whole, has consistently been able to pull off hilarious, awesome, and tearjerking without any of them feeling like they interfere with the others. Not only that, but you're doing it in such a difficult medium to pull off. There are so many potential points of failure in TTS that I'm convinced there was SOME sort of Faustian-bargain involved in production because you've consistently dodged seemingly every pitfall. In something like TTS, our immersion is dependent on everything from characterization consistency, quality dialogue, quality voice acting, amusing humor, and good animation...any one of them could, at any time, be the thing that we just have to muscle through for the sake of the other three, but that's never the case, at least in my experience.
I guess the bottom line is that I didn't want to shortsell what I think of this series with one or two lines about how awesome I think it is. Seeing so many things I didn't expect to be not only present, but STELLAR in what I got into just as a 40k comedy series brings to mind a Rube Goldberg machine: as bizarre as it is to look at, everything clearly had a whole lot of thought put into how it interacts with the whole, and it all goes off like clockwork.
So kudos, man. You and everyone else involved in TTS have made something magical.
That is the power of passion when properly harnessed.
To think that something this huge, so big that it has begun affecting the Authors at Black Library and how they write these characters started off with just the simple concept of "What if the Emperor had a text to speech device". And now it regularly reaches nearly a million people.
Bravo Alfabusa. Bravo. And to everybody else involved (and hoo boy, there's a bunch of you.)
It's all a great example of if you are passionate about something, you should pursue it. It might be a CRAZY amount of effort but hot damn, the results speak for themselves.
Bravo Alfabusa more like Bruva Alfabusa am i right?
What evidence do you have that states it's affecting the authors at Black Library?
sombodi200 If I remember correctly, Aaron Dembski-Bowden stated he was a fan of TTS - he discovered it after people drew comparisons to a character in one of his books to someone from the TTS-verse. Anyways, he was like ‘what the hell are these guys talking about’ and found this. He loves it.
Also, Gathering Storm has revealed Big E is a massive jerkass like TTS Emp. That has something to do with it.
Other BL authors might be fans of this, I’m not sure.
I wonder and hope if they'll redeem Magnus.
The ending kills me every time....the love Dominique had for Fyodir, Leman saying “...father??” All of it had me in near tears every time I watch it accompanied with that music track
So Fyodor really does become host to a part of the emperor's soul. Not just because he honestly believed he already was, and wanted to be, and needed to be - but because he was a sanctimonious self-centered hypocritical callous jerk convinved that he and he alone is right - and thus a perfect match for the emperor's psyche. ^.^
Magnus: ... You planed this. Didn't you.
Emperor: YES.
Magnus: All of it.
Emperor: YES.
Magnus: That's not the line.
Emperor: No.
Magnus: Go on. You know you want to.
Emperor: I AM NOT SAYING THAT LINE.
Magnus: Oh go on - Dad.
Emperor: ...
Magnus: ...
Emperor: SIGH. EVERYTHING IS PROCEEDING AS I HAVE FORESEEN IT.
Magnus: Ah. Life is good.
That was a brilliant and hilarious plot twist. Also I have to say the throne-bound Emperor probably didn't plan that far, but will almost certainly still try to pretend he did.
Nah, it was basically predicted way back at episode 25, and if someone could predict it, the Emperor could plan it.
Personally I'm waiting for throneperor dropping the 'JUST-AS-PLANNED' line.
This is the birth of a chaos god, forged from his own soul, this is the FURTHEST THING from his plans.

@@SeekSeekLest I have faith that at some point we will see Draigo either speaking with slaanesh personally or writing a letter to the choas god.
He'd be the only one crazy enough to do it.
Due to all the hate for the GK and their new lore, very little of it actually deserved if people used their heads, one of the writers put in a scene where a silver knight is said to be bowing before Slaanesh in child-form. Meant to be saying Draigo's gone on to serve Slaanesh. Directly flying in the face of him being incorruptible, to the point he's been smashing up the Dark Gods' shit this whole time even though it keeps getting repaired instantly and not even hopelessness has settled in at the futility of his actions.

Its interesting to hear the emperor talking about his “other self” (the Star child) saying he threw it away just for progression for humanity
Now in his current state he needs to be “human” like actual human with feeling, emotions and attachment ya know
*what Uriah Olathaire was trying getting across to the emperor but was too dense to get that*
Jack da ‘alf brain ork the emperor was never truly human, his father was killed at a young age and the long years before the start of the age of strife hardened him to not get too attached to others
It's a shame that in this story-line,Uriah is became a Chaos worshiper after dying and going to the warp,he's soul is summoned by The Emperor in one of the Podcasts.
@@THExRISER ".. because I know *I* am right."
Ander Lindkvist
The emperor did what was best for humanity, by leaving out his own. That’s why I killed and turned on my brothers, that’s why I follow the selfish gods of the warp. The imperium is a cancer, and needs to be gutted by the hands of someone riddled with another disease. My gods will play their games, and I will save my emperor and my imperium. Both need to be reborn.
Uriah wasnt trying to convince the emperor to be more human. A more accurate speculation indicates that the emperor cast aside his human emotions of hope love etc because they were the reason that he couldn't kill horus when he had to. If he didnt have those, he wouldnt have ended up in the throne and ollanius pius would most likely be alive, as well as others primarchs. Is he wrong for casting those emotions aside? Yes propably, but dont forget the emperor felt guilty and a failure (because he couldnt kill his son) before he entered the throne.

Everyone is talking about Leman Russ and Dominique, but the real tear jerker for me was when the Star Emps labels all of the things about Fyodor and just admits that he is all of those things.
One of the more infuriating bits of throne Emps is how sure he is that he's the hotshit, despite being wrong constantly. Seeing this part of him is just heartwarming and shows he knows he's flawed.
Throne Emprha is very aware that he's an asshole. He just finds being so too much fun

Considering the emperor literally bullied tzeentch in a weakened and dying state as if it was a casual schoolyard dare from Magnus, he will probably just beat it up with his mind and have it fly itself in its entirety, into the stars
Elen Degenerate I have actually got a theory that when the emperor returns to full strength with all his soul fragments restored to him he will be of such power that he could override the central hive mind and take control of a tyranid fleet.
Imagine a fleet is attacking a planet and the guardsmen are defending it with everything they have and their gun barrels are seconds away from melting from the constant shooting when all of a sudden the tyranid swarm stops dead in their tracks, confused one of the guardsmen radios it in to headquarters that the xenos have stopped attacking and they reply to say they have gotten similar reports from other companies, suddenly one of the tyranids steps forward and writes something on the ground and backs away the guardsmen very cautiously moves up to see what he wrote and it nearly causes him to faint, the rest of the men curious as to what the xeno wrote and why it caused such a reaction says” the god-emperor lives again”

He doesn't steal, he doesn't go back on his word, and he makes sure his (blood) taxes are paid on time and in full. I'd say that makes him pretty respectable, all things considered.

I do, in fact, yell "ECHHH" after every line reading.
While the visuals of TTS are nothing to be scoffed at, it's so amazing to see what kind of stories can be made from some dedicated writers. This is the progression to the 40K universe I've been waiting years for; and it didn't come in the form of some big budget TV series or movie, it was from a UA-camr who loves 40K.
My biggest issue with 40K has always been the story is in an endless loop, which compliments the endless war. But as a human being I strive for resolutions and the evolution of a story, and finally getting an opportunity to see the Emperor in his full glory after the Horus Heresy is mind-blowing.
To see how the galaxy reacts to the rebirth of the most powerful being in existence & to watch him bring humanity back from certain doom will be one of, if not the most satisfying story ever told in the 40K universe.

This episode is an inspiration. Not just to writers, but to everyone. This series started off as a joke. Now look at the masterclass of writing, dialogue, plotting, referencing ... I believe again. You can make something out of so little, and Bruva Alfabusa and his friends have taught us that.
Adrian Arshad so true
this series has better writing than the last 20 years of Hollywood output, and I don't even play warhammer tabletop
you could even say it has better writing than some of the novels GW puts out.
Me: "haha lol this reminds me of an actual tabletop session"
>video literally turns into a battle report
EMPEROR BLESS
This was one hell of an episode, likely the best one yet. I loved the incorporation of the table top, adds another layer. And I gotta say, having been with this series from the beginning, I marvel at how far it’s come, from some satyre to possibly one of the greatest 40K storylines in existence. I feel as though many will agree when I say this rivals the stories written by GW themselves despite the nature of the work having been a joke at least to an extent. Truly good job lads, can’t wait till the next one.
While I couldn't ever claim TTS to be on the same level as some of the great books BL has produced--I really, really do appreciate those words. Thank you.

Sometimes I do feel like fan made stories are much better than most of the stuff GW puts out. Another great example is Tales of the Emperasque, really recommended for anyone who hasn't read it yet. 1d4chan.org/wiki/The_Tales_of_the_Emperasque:_Part_One
40,000 is still unserious,the hericy picture thing probally HAPPENED MORE THEN ONCE.
IMO 40k is at it's best when it doesn't really take itself all that seriously, hence my favorite BL series being Ciaphas Cain, and TTS in many ways seems to descend from that line of thinking.
To-the tyranid hive mind
“Come and get me”
Signed The Man Emperor Of Mankind
"Come and get me, Cthulhu wannabe."
It should be 'To the Tyranid Hivemind: "Nuts." Sighed, The Master of Mankind.'
Lets see you history junkies get the realworld reference.
Questknight12 I get it
@@Iijjccbb i dont get it mate. Although i get the feeling its ww2 meme.
@@Zohess During the battle of Bastogne in WW2 the 101st Airborne was surrounded in the town of Bastogne (funnily enough) by huge numbers of German forces. When the German commander sent a letter asking the 101st to surrender the reply he got back was;
"To the German Commander,
Nuts!
Signed, the American Commander"
The 101st eventually made it out after being relieved by US Army units after a week of constant siege.
23:27 Goodbye Dominique and have a happy afterlife. You'll forever be in our hearts. :')

And the Warp was flooded with a burst of holy light, that all servants of chaos either turned away from or were burned by. The light flooded out the Eye of Terror and into the galaxy. The xenos who saw it felt fear, dread, and power beyond anything else. But to every member of the Imperium, they felt hope, warmth and courage. For all these races and beings knew one thing as this light spread across the stars:
The Emperor of Mankind has returned.
The end left me smiling like an idiot for like half a hour. Truly wonderful.
6:38 okay Gandalf is now officially part of the inquisition. this is now 1000000% cannon.
Chris Kiewit "YOU! SHALL NOT! PASS!"
very appropriate in this situation. he was so good at making the daemons not pass that they needed the star child to pass through the gate.
Did you link wrong? Witness The Storm is from Dawn of War: Winter Assault
Go to the time stamp 6:38 pause the video and look at the bottom left corner of the screen the second person from the left walking amongst the inquisitors is Gandalf. You can recognise him from his grey robes, beard and especially his hat.
This is one of the greatest episodes yet.
I Think it might be the best. I literally shat my ass off when i saw the battle report screen pop up. Toppest KeK.
I love how the emperor is in a ancient canoe refencing his origins
this literally just became way better then the actually novels of 40k
“Have you ever eaten a Tangerine?”- Kaldor Draigo. This battle cry shall be echoed throughout ages to come
Kaldor failing most of his rolls is actually quite hilarious
"Inquisitor, you ask me what we saw, and I have told you truly. We were entrenched, and hard-pressed, but we held the line... until we saw the Traitor Legionnaires. They were advancing on us, their cursed ceramite resisting the holy lances of our lasguns. Some fell, but most strode towards us.
That's when our ship's Navigator… our Navigator began to scream. The Captain of our vessel in orbit deemed it necessary to broadcast it upon our frequency for some reason. The Navigator was screaming that he could not see the Astronomican anymore, because a much greater and brighter light occluded it, and it was getting brighter by the moment. A light that had sprung into existance in the Eye of Terror.
And then he simply went incoherent, going from terror to joy in an instant, screaming wildly about the Touch of the Emperor's Hand.
The Traitor Legionnaires stopped, staring at the heavens... and suddenly they began to scream. Their cursed ceramite began to steam, then smoke, then char away. Bright blue flames erupted from the joins in their armor, and they simply collapsed and crumbled to ash, every one of them to a man, until nothing was left.
You ask me what we saw, Inquisitor. I have told you. What I saw... was a miracle.
But I beg you indulge me, now. Were we the only ones who felt the Emperor's Touch?"
