Another example of Imperial horror today, and the intriguing way some planets get disconnected from the reality of the Imperium.

Yep! There is a story about a mining world: Once it had been completely stripped of all resources, the Imperium basically went, "k thx bye!" and left its population of millions of workers to starve.
@@hellatze the imperium is alive because its so how should i say , opressive maybe? or some shit , in a universe such as the one in 40k the only way to survive its become shit yourself
@@hellatze Easy they are alive due to size. Something as large as the imperium with as fast breeding a species as humans tends to take a very very long time to die off. Look at cockroaches irl. We have all kinds of ways to kill them. Yet we cant entirely get rid of them.
That moment the rebels "won" against the Imperials and began to celebrate. Then to find the skies darken with strange creatures nobody has ever seen before. Man, that's just heart-breaking when you imagine that.
That's Warhammer 40k in a nutshell. If it doesn't take your hope straight away then it allows it to grow in order to take it away anyway so it hurts more. You either succumb to despair or face an even greater despair as punishment for not accepting the lesser one.

A logical, reasonable motivation for going to war, at least from ancient times when humanity was more enlightened." Imperium: "We don't do that here." *racks bolter*
@DeadNinjutsu The worst part is if they managed to survive the tyranids the population would have been killed off anyway as beyond just the heresy they committed i'm pretty sure tyranids are one of those things the ordo-hereticus considers a shoot on sight offence if you witness them.
that's the true horror of warhammer 40k,that humanity(the imperium) is just as bad as the orks,tyranids,etc. in thier own way,,,the best of the lot is the tau,and even they have some messed up to them.
I could say one of these funny “The Emperor has blessed us with another video” type comments but I am not. Instead I would like to thank you Luetin for the frequent uploads these video’s are the highlight of my month and I get almost all my lore knowledge from your videos. I have recently bought my first models to paint and practice just some skitarii rangers so nothing special but your video talking about how much painting them helped you and many others with the struggle of depression I got really inspired to start practicing! I truly appreciate your video’s. Thank you.
I’ve always said Humanity would strive for happiness and prosperity. This so called Empire just wouldn’t last in a real timeline. Way too Chaotic. But hey it’s fantasy.
@@Smitty19966 Its the reverse, any state with that mentality would be the one not lasting in the warhammer universe. Happiness and prosperity are nice things to strive for, when you are not backed to a wall with a myriad of horrors from beyond trying to kill you. Anyone wasting their effort on some high minded ideal of pursuit of happiness, and not 100% focused on surviving there will end up nommed, chopped, possessed by warp entities or possibly causing their own mass death as they birth the next chaos god into existence.
You are the most in depth 40k youtuber, your work helped me go through a realy hard year were I was truly alone, thank you, from the bottom of my hearth, thank you.
Well, its 6am Sunday morning here in Mid-Michigan, USA, and about to start my shift! Gonna play me some Luetin in my earpiece! Love it when something new comes out while I sleep! 😁
Finding out on a different lore video that one of the ships that the Imperium had has a functioning STC inside of it makes me believe that the Imperium has a whole bunch of them but the AI intelligence that's inside of them just refuses to work with this form of humanity they don't see the benefit and giving overwhelming Firepower to essentially what they consider a lesser form of human beings
That might actually be true. In the novel Death of Integrity, there is an ancient, DAOT AI which is extremely vocal in describing why the Imperial people sucks and why it doesn't want anything to do with them. For records, that AI was actually loyal to his previous human crew (they were from the Dark Age of Technology) and consider imperial humans to be an insult to everything humanity stood for.
@@jigsaw1398 Dont remember which video it was but in short: DAOT shop and crew traveled forward in time and saw serious shit, tried to go back to their timeline but landed in imperium time. The crew was tortured and the ship was in somekind of link with the captain so it felt/knew everything. The shop escaped. Mechanicus/space marine team found it god knows how much later and boarded it. They were in awe how simple the design looked (no gothic monastery theme, Apple/ I am robot futuristic vibe instead). The Ai hated them, locked the armor of the marines and when the techpriest started chanting and swinging his holy oil the Ai ridiculed them for how retarded they are, how mlow humanity has fallen. Dont remember if the ship killed the team but in the end it just fucked off.
Pretty sad that even if they had stayed loyal, they still would have all died. But having such a huge Imperial presence at the system meant they were better prepared to deal with the Tyranids.
Unless Rophanon was defended by Battlefleet Bakka no amount of ships would have mattered. In fact trying to fight a hive fleet head on is basically a suicide mission no matter what.
This and 'The Titanic Defense of Ryza' are my favourite videos so far. I think it's because both revolve around major events on a single planet, one that isn't named 'Armageddon' or 'Cadia'. That said I think your lore videos are great overall and I am looking forward to see more of them.
not to gaslight or anything but it's always fun to listen to Lutein. TOO MUCH FUN! maybe he is an agent of Slaanesh? or maybe Tzeentch? because every post is closer and closer to our own reality with all the craziness in the last 2 years...
Blythe "This retirement is bullshit! I can still serve..." "Lord General, the people are rebelling!" (Slow smile of joy) Blythe "Praise the Emperor, this retirement just got interesting!"
Those poor Guardsmen who're Rophanon born where probably summarily executed even after they've served the Imperium tooth and nail... *THAT IS IT! IM JOINING CHAOS!*
I've been having a lot of trouble making myself get back to the models....or anything else really...but suddenly the motive force arrives as Grand Archivist Luetin delivers another round of Imperial lore to absorb me completely.
Kind of funny how the Imperium "lucked out" and had monster bugs turn up to do their dirty work for them. Can't have the Imperium lose or exterminatus a regular rebellion, can we. ;)
The absolute best when it comes to the warhammer 40k storytelling. You sir are a gift on UA-cam. It gets me through work and through my day when I get to listen to these. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK. Thank you for all you do!
@@jgw9990 I'd argue it is more like the evacuation of gallipoly in ww1 look it up the British basically evacuated 36k men without the Turks knowing only hundreds of meters away form then, till they attacked empty trenches with guns rigged to fire every know and again. Probably one of the most successful evacuations in history up their with Dunkirk.
"But even better to fall on our knees so the opponent may let his guard down while an even stronger opponent grabs him at his neck and then you thrust your blase through both of them, and call it GG."
"Better to be eviscerated by bug monsters, dissolved into an undifferentiated pool of biomass, and converted into a seething mass of alien flesh before being vaporized by nuclear fire than to live on y our knees." Honestly, I'm not sure about that.
Hey Luetin I just want to capitalize on what many comments say already but I truly am thankful for your videos. Many say your videos have helped through difficult times and I am one of those people. I remember many days listening to your videos when life was at its worst for me to calm my mind and take me for a moment away from whatever battle the day brung. They have always been a highlight in my youtube feed and I so very much appreciate your work. Your hard work and passion for 40K doesn't go unnoticed my friend. Thank you for consistently great content and telling of stories. Much love and support from many other fans including myself. I am thankful for your talents and passion.
when my dad died all of a sudden i retreated into 40k lore to escape it all, I read the ultramarines omnibus, ravenor and gaunts ghosts, I also watched luetin like a maniac, it was a rough year but 40k, luetin and the community kept me sane and with my mind busy in this crazy 40k world, now things are much much better, but I'll also be forever thankful to gw, the community and 40k in general for just being there.
Vore: Truly I am a tactical genius, I have planned this rebellion perfectly, accounting for every eventuality, and preparing the world for an uprising that the Imperium has no chance of responding to in time. Aide: Sir we've just learnt there's a retired Imperial War Hero living just next doo- Vore: Truly, I am in awe of my own genius
I was a Paratrooper in the 82 Airborne division and your description of low earth floating deployment scared the crap out of me!!!! I can not imagine that many people handled that well.
Dorn: "I despise these Rophanon Rebels, though I cannot help but admire the intricacy and effectiveness of their fortifications. They are indeed a worthy adversary."
Some rebellions do, but they tend to be upper class people doing it out of self-interest. And usually this turns their society into constant war, holding off the Imperium’s constant attempts to reclaim it.
You know the Imperials are just people, right? The actual "asshole evil" part of the Imperium is a sub-fractional percentage of the Imperial population. Outside of big name organizations, the Imperium is just... people.
This is one of my favourite story in 40k, and I often point this one out if I talk about the lore to my friends or new people whom I try to introduce to the hobby. Thank you Luetin. I hope you will make more stories like this one. I literaly watched this 20+ times.
Just got done running through my 6 matches for the day. I seem to be actually getting better at this game, or at least not as awful. Feeling pretty good. Felt even better upon closing out and seeing the upload. Thanks, you always make my day.
1am - a quick UA-cam refresh before sleep. Nooo, I must not see the Luetin update! I must not click on the link, I must preserve my energy for the emperor, I must sleep. Click. I am damned, Emperor I have failed you... .
A week ago I never heard of war hammer. Now that I’ve watched almost every one of your videos, I’m wondering how there isn’t a series about this? It could be a hybrid of the “Star Wars Stories” and “Black Mirror”. Instead of having one continuing story line, it follows stories from different individuals across the Imperium owned worlds.
@@Mister_Clean but have you seen twitch chats, like UA-cam comments are bad but on twitch you can see 200people type the same thought at the same time.
- So, what's the plan? - We let everyone die. - I'm sorry, what? - We let everyone...die. A confused silence takes over the bridge. - Sir... I don't get it. - No, listen close... We let everyone die... - uhum... - and then... - uhum... - We kill whoever's left. Officers look at Blight, flabbergasted. Then, a slow clapping starts. First one officer, then four, ten, until the applause become a thunder in the bridge of the ship - By the Emperor, he's done it again! Hurray for Blight!!!! Hurray for the Empire!!!! "And that, little ones, is how the Blight Maneuver was born"
The irony of a rebellion being consumed by the very evil that was the price of their subjugation would be poetic were it not for the absolute horror of the fate they met so disturbing to think about that it greys the very whimsically hilarious nature of such a situation
@@TruculentSheep well, yes, of course, but they don't have many mistakes that are necessarily stupid, only pragmatic What I mean is there's a lot of flavour that appears to be grimdark for the sake of grimdark but the writers actually justify it really well
@@bluegum6438 Well, they *think* they're being pragmatic, but cruelty and incompetence walk hand in hand. The Imperium would be a sit com if it wasn't so tragic.
@@TruculentSheep Do you have any better solutions? You're kinda just proving my point by hand-wringing without offering alternatives. They do what they have to with what's available.
Man, this presentation is utterly professional in quality and so immersively recounted with perfect musical arrangement and accompanying artworks! I had no intention for an entire hour to be consigned away by whimsically clicking on this video, but it was just too good to stop watching. Well done, good sir.
This entire conflict shows the ineptitude of the imperium. A failure to allocate appropriate recourses to incidents from the beginning; or even a basic explanation of the horror of the tyranids who were then bound for the planet may have resolved this conflict. If Blythe’s brilliance is only matched by practicality of square wheels.
nam has a much more interesting history that goes back to the Korean war in 1950, with the French doing the oppressing and america making a giant mess at the climax. has side acts with pol pot to spice it up
@@seanbirtwistle649 This planet has plenty of interesting history as well. It begins with administratum bullshit, which becomes the imperiums problem when the people fight back and push back the administratum. Much like the NVA and VC, the Rophanon rebels were under-estimated, and sheer might alone would not subdue them because they and their leaders had experienced it, and knew not to break. However both sides were exhausted by the end, and neither wanted to concede. the NVA/PAVN was willing to do basically anything to re-unify, even if it cost every last man. This means there was no way for the USA/ARVN to "win" short of complete destruction.... much like the imperium here. Unlike reality, 40k has space bugs that eat everything, and so in a perfect 40k twist, the "retreat" was actually just a means to destroy them and another enemy at another time... kind of like the USA did in the 80s-90s by re-casting vietnam as a bungled up mess that was actually won in everything but the end result... and influenced soviet-overconfidence that made things like the failed Afgan invasion possible. Next tyranids will fly a spacehulk into Mars, which will conveniently destroy evidence that the mechanicus was experimenting with new tech.
@@Robb1977 sounds like quite the story, but history is sometimes stranger than fiction. America didn't fail in nam outside of the pr stunt going wrong. Its just a skirmish in the on going war against the influence of communism. The CIA backed the Khmer rouge, commies, to help fight the Vietnamese. In power the Khmer rouge starved their own people and BEAT millions of citizens to death who wasn't a peasant and didn't conform. The man hours and logistics that must have gone into that effort. The CIA backed the Iranian revolution for access to surveillance the USSR border which saw its girls trade in miniskirts for burqas. Which saw them back Saddam hussein and encourage the iran Iraq war... not to mention all the success they had in south America. The USSR finally collapsed and the US saved the world from socialism... unless you consider social democracies 🤔
@@seanbirtwistle649 oh no the us did fail alot more than that. Sure they didnt technically lose battles, but they lost strike groups in Cambodia, often to their own bombers. The usa lost international support. The usa lost the chance for a democratic process. The usa solidified itself as an oligarchy. When you know vietnam deeper you'll know ho chi minh actually asked for American support, he loved America. But he was denied because be was against French colonial interests and France was threatening to defect to the soviet union.
@@Robb1977 you only think the us failed, but since the end of the second world war after the west chose to back their currency to the us dollar they've been making sure that capitalism works for them at everyone else's expense. Even their own people are resources to be spent, who want their governments to do as little for them as possible. Its been an oligarchy of the rich for a very long time and that hasn't been threatened since 1991
An Unclean One stood in the veil between worlds, reaching out with a trembling hand as Rophanon catches fire. Nurgle waddles up behind him and pats him on the shoulder, "There There..." The Unclean One sighs, "But... but... so many dead bodies.... I was just about to reveal my newly converted cultists!" "We'll get'em next time..."

Instead I would like to thank you Luetin for the frequent uploads these video’s are the highlight of my month and I get almost all my lore knowledge from your videos. I have recently bought my first models to paint and practice just some skitarii rangers so nothing special but your video talking about how much painting them helped you and many others with the struggle of depression I got really inspired to start practicing! I truly appreciate your video’s.
Thank you.
The Emperor has blessed us with another video tho.
@@sedoskovelha123 got me there...
Hear, by the Emperor's nutsack, hear!
Sending you rays of kindness.
WAGMI, brother.
thank the tyrannid hive mind
In any other universe this would have been a story about two sides overcoming their differences and coming together to fight a common foe..
Warhammer does that just as much as other universes too
I’ve always said Humanity would strive for happiness and prosperity. This so called Empire just wouldn’t last in a real timeline. Way too Chaotic. But hey it’s fantasy.
Yes I love how relentlessly brutal and bleak it is lol
@@Smitty19966 Its the reverse, any state with that mentality would be the one not lasting in the warhammer universe. Happiness and prosperity are nice things to strive for, when you are not backed to a wall with a myriad of horrors from beyond trying to kill you. Anyone wasting their effort on some high minded ideal of pursuit of happiness, and not 100% focused on surviving there will end up nommed, chopped, possessed by warp entities or possibly causing their own mass death as they birth the next chaos god into existence.
We don't do that here
An hour of quiet painting before the horde wake up for feeding has just got a whole lot better. Thanks.

Finding out on a different lore video that one of the ships that the Imperium had has a functioning STC inside of it makes me believe that the Imperium has a whole bunch of them but the AI intelligence that's inside of them just refuses to work with this form of humanity they don't see the benefit and giving overwhelming Firepower to essentially what they consider a lesser form of human beings
That might actually be true. In the novel Death of Integrity, there is an ancient, DAOT AI which is extremely vocal in describing why the Imperial people sucks and why it doesn't want anything to do with them. For records, that AI was actually loyal to his previous human crew (they were from the Dark Age of Technology) and consider imperial humans to be an insult to everything humanity stood for.
Which video?
@@jigsaw1398 I think he's referring to the Speranza from the Ark Mechanicus series.
@@jigsaw1398 Dont remember which video it was but in short:
DAOT shop and crew traveled forward in time and saw serious shit, tried to go back to their timeline but landed in imperium time. The crew was tortured and the ship was in somekind of link with the captain so it felt/knew everything. The shop escaped.
Mechanicus/space marine team found it god knows how much later and boarded it. They were in awe how simple the design looked (no gothic monastery theme, Apple/ I am robot futuristic vibe instead).
The Ai hated them, locked the armor of the marines and when the techpriest started chanting and swinging his holy oil the Ai ridiculed them for how retarded they are, how mlow humanity has fallen. Dont remember if the ship killed the team but in the end it just fucked off.
It's less that and more of the AI find it smarter to just play dumb rather than help the imperium unless it absolutely has no choice.
Pretty sad that even if they had stayed loyal, they still would have all died.
But having such a huge Imperial presence at the system meant they were better prepared to deal with the Tyranids.
Unless Rophanon was defended by Battlefleet Bakka no amount of ships would have mattered. In fact trying to fight a hive fleet head on is basically a suicide mission no matter what.
This and 'The Titanic Defense of Ryza' are my favourite videos so far.
I think it's because both revolve around major events on a single planet, one that isn't named 'Armageddon' or 'Cadia'.
That said I think your lore videos are great overall and I am looking forward to see more of them.

I've been having a lot of trouble making myself get back to the models....or anything else really...but suddenly the motive force arrives as Grand Archivist Luetin delivers another round of Imperial lore to absorb me completely.
Kind of funny how the Imperium "lucked out" and had monster bugs turn up to do their dirty work for them. Can't have the Imperium lose or exterminatus a regular rebellion, can we. ;)
Yepp, how Blight's constant failures and his stunning incompetence were highly praised, the imperium must have pretty low standards.
I don't think so, more likely they would just keep grinding away until they finally break the rebellion while also burning down half the planet.
Started my interest with 40K after one of the games workshop dudes gave me a few books to read. Your videos have kept me listening and learning!

45:31 the evacuation of Dunkirk in a nutshell
which one was the messier can be argued about.
Bigass nut, that.
@@freezia0 messy but successful, an entire army was evacuated, some were literally carried by fishing boats.
@@jgw9990 I'd argue it is more like the evacuation of gallipoly in ww1 look it up the British basically evacuated 36k men without the Turks knowing only hundreds of meters away form then, till they attacked empty trenches with guns rigged to fire every know and again. Probably one of the most successful evacuations in history up their with Dunkirk.
The page refreshing is over, brothers! Gather around the hearth core and listen to the loremaster.
i'm so in love with your sound signature, either the way you speak or your choice of music and ambiance sound

"Is exterminatus an option? ALWAYS"
lmao I love how there was literally no hesitation or gap in his speech there. Exterminatus is never not an option.
@yossarian Let's hope that Terra or Mars never finds out the hard way.

First you got me into warhammer 40k and then onto audible. Im now on my 25th audiobook of The Horus Heresy. Thank you luetin!
Hey Luetin I just want to capitalize on what many comments say already but I truly am thankful for your videos. Many say your videos have helped through difficult times and I am one of those people. I remember many days listening to your videos when life was at its worst for me to calm my mind and take me for a moment away from whatever battle the day brung. They have always been a highlight in my youtube feed and I so very much appreciate your work. Your hard work and passion for 40K doesn't go unnoticed my friend. Thank you for consistently great content and telling of stories. Much love and support from many other fans including myself. I am thankful for your talents and passion.
when my dad died all of a sudden i retreated into 40k lore to escape it all, I read the ultramarines omnibus, ravenor and gaunts ghosts, I also watched luetin like a maniac, it was a rough year but 40k, luetin and the community kept me sane and with my mind busy in this crazy 40k world, now things are much much better, but I'll also be forever thankful to gw, the community and 40k in general for just being there.
Vore: Truly I am a tactical genius, I have planned this rebellion perfectly, accounting for every eventuality, and preparing the world for an uprising that the Imperium has no chance of responding to in time.
Aide: Sir we've just learnt there's a retired Imperial War Hero living just next doo-

What a nice story! The Rebels gained the indepandence they wished so much.
I hope they enjoyed it.
last time i was this early, the nuns didn't have guns
I keep hoping for the nuns, but we still ain't got nun yet.
Nuns have NEVER needed guns, especially the Irish Catholic type. They have something even WORSE: rulers.
Imagine this being made into a movie trilogy with the production value of star wars.
That sounds great
Have you not been paying attention? We don't get nice things anymore. That time of cinema is gone.

The quote at the end about they gave their lives for the emperor whether they liked it or not is SOOO GOOOD!
Dorn: "I despise these Rophanon Rebels, though I cannot help but admire the intricacy and effectiveness of their fortifications. They are indeed a worthy adversary."
I wish rebellions like this would actually work out in 40k, even once in a while. At least a bunch of imperials and tyranids died in the process
Some rebellions do, but they tend to be upper class people doing it out of self-interest. And usually this turns their society into constant war, holding off the Imperium’s constant attempts to reclaim it.
It's called grimdark for a reason.
Regarding the sheer incompetence of oafs like Blight, it is really a wonder that the imperium is not already overtaken by rebellions.
@@Dieter-Doeddel I think the sheer brutality of repercussions and how most Imperial citizens aren’t very well-educated contributes to this.
You know the Imperials are just people, right? The actual "asshole evil" part of the Imperium is a sub-fractional percentage of the Imperial population. Outside of big name organizations, the Imperium is just... people.
After recent announcements, I think the rebellion of rophanon would be the best entry for a 40k movie/series.
Ah yes. Luetins sweet voice will carry me to sleep while telling me grim dark tales.
Lullaby of sorrow.
Exactly 😁
Luetin I love your videos. Especially the lore videos. I've watched the lore videos like 10x each while working on my 9 armies haha
This is one of my favourite story in 40k, and I often point this one out if I talk about the lore to my friends or new people whom I try to introduce to the hobby. Thank you Luetin. I hope you will make more stories like this one.
I literaly watched this 20+ times.
Just got done running through my 6 matches for the day.
I seem to be actually getting better at this game, or at least not as awful.
Feeling pretty good.
Felt even better upon closing out and seeing the upload.

The only thing more terrifying for a rebelling world than Imperial reinforcements is imperial retreating.
The Imperium: Where having it slightly easy in the past results in getting Exterminatus while being devoured by the Tyranids.
A week ago I never heard of war hammer. Now that I’ve watched almost every one of your videos, I’m wondering how there isn’t a series about this? It could be a hybrid of the “Star Wars Stories” and “Black Mirror”. Instead of having one continuing story line, it follows stories from different individuals across the Imperium owned worlds.

Wow that was a surprising display of Imperial competence. I hadn't heard of the Rophanon Rebellion before so I went in expecting another Vraks
The title of this book "old man and his wonderful vacation"
“Is exterminatus an option? Always.” - loved that
- So, what's the plan?
- We let everyone die.
- I'm sorry, what?
- We let everyone...die.
A confused silence takes over the bridge.
- Sir... I don't get it.
- No, listen close... We let everyone die...
- uhum...
- and then...
- uhum...
- We kill whoever's left.
Officers look at Blight, flabbergasted. Then, a slow clapping starts. First one officer, then four, ten, until the applause become a thunder in the bridge of the ship
- By the Emperor, he's done it again! Hurray for Blight!!!! Hurray for the Empire!!!!
"And that, little ones, is how the Blight Maneuver was born"
The irony of a rebellion being consumed by the very evil that was the price of their subjugation would be poetic were it not for the absolute horror of the fate they met so disturbing to think about that it greys the very whimsically hilarious nature of such a situation
I enjoy how the Imperium appears to have numerous pointless flaws that are actually for an extremely good reason on further inspection
@@bluegum6438 Or maybe they're just another flavour of evil bastard in a galaxy chock-full of them.
@@TruculentSheep well, yes, of course, but they don't have many mistakes that are necessarily stupid, only pragmatic
What I mean is there's a lot of flavour that appears to be grimdark for the sake of grimdark but the writers actually justify it really well
@@bluegum6438 Well, they *think* they're being pragmatic, but cruelty and incompetence walk hand in hand. The Imperium would be a sit com if it wasn't so tragic.
@@TruculentSheep Do you have any better solutions? You're kinda just proving my point by hand-wringing without offering alternatives. They do what they have to with what's available.
Really good video Leutin. Love the nuanced deep-time exploration of a very specific slice of lore that speaks to the greater whole.
When I'm on my death bed, just let pass on into the warp with Luetin on surround sound.
Luetin uploads the moment i go to bed, so i guess i will have to sacrifice an hour of sleep.
For the imperium!!
Man, this presentation is utterly professional in quality and so immersively recounted with perfect musical arrangement and accompanying artworks! I had no intention for an entire hour to be consigned away by whimsically clicking on this video, but it was just too good to stop watching. Well done, good sir.
This entire conflict shows the ineptitude of the imperium. A failure to allocate appropriate recourses to incidents from the beginning; or even a basic explanation of the horror of the tyranids who were then bound for the planet may have resolved this conflict. If Blythe’s brilliance is only matched by practicality of square wheels.
im not kidding when i say every video you drop i like sit down and put aside everything else too watch! just a real treat when it happens :D
"Oh, you don't want Imperial protection? Fine, we'll leave you alone.
Have fun with the Tyranids."
what a nice bedtime story.
Love your work luetin, keep telling us the tales of that millenial empire that exists across the stars
Thanks Lutien! If i cant fall asleep your videos always help, NOT because they are boring but because of your calming voice and the good topics
So basically this was 40k 'Nam, only thing it's missing is Lee Ermey as a Commissar.
nam has a much more interesting history that goes back to the Korean war in 1950, with the French doing the oppressing and america making a giant mess at the climax. has side acts with pol pot to spice it up
@@seanbirtwistle649 This planet has plenty of interesting history as well. It begins with administratum bullshit, which becomes the imperiums problem when the people fight back and push back the administratum. Much like the NVA and VC, the Rophanon rebels were under-estimated, and sheer might alone would not subdue them because they and their leaders had experienced it, and knew not to break. However both sides were exhausted by the end, and neither wanted to concede. the NVA/PAVN was willing to do basically anything to re-unify, even if it cost every last man. This means there was no way for the USA/ARVN to "win" short of complete destruction.... much like the imperium here. Unlike reality, 40k has space bugs that eat everything, and so in a perfect 40k twist, the "retreat" was actually just a means to destroy them and another enemy at another time... kind of like the USA did in the 80s-90s by re-casting vietnam as a bungled up mess that was actually won in everything but the end result... and influenced soviet-overconfidence that made things like the failed Afgan invasion possible. Next tyranids will fly a spacehulk into Mars, which will conveniently destroy evidence that the mechanicus was experimenting with new tech.
@@Robb1977 sounds like quite the story, but history is sometimes stranger than fiction. America didn't fail in nam outside of the pr stunt going wrong. Its just a skirmish in the on going war against the influence of communism. The CIA backed the Khmer rouge, commies, to help fight the Vietnamese. In power the Khmer rouge starved their own people and BEAT millions of citizens to death who wasn't a peasant and didn't conform. The man hours and logistics that must have gone into that effort. The CIA backed the Iranian revolution for access to surveillance the USSR border which saw its girls trade in miniskirts for burqas. Which saw them back Saddam hussein and encourage the iran Iraq war... not to mention all the success they had in south America. The USSR finally collapsed and the US saved the world from socialism... unless you consider social democracies 🤔
@@seanbirtwistle649 oh no the us did fail alot more than that. Sure they didnt technically lose battles, but they lost strike groups in Cambodia, often to their own bombers. The usa lost international support. The usa lost the chance for a democratic process. The usa solidified itself as an oligarchy.
When you know vietnam deeper you'll know ho chi minh actually asked for American support, he loved America. But he was denied because be was against French colonial interests and France was threatening to defect to the soviet union.
@@Robb1977 you only think the us failed, but since the end of the second world war after the west chose to back their currency to the us dollar they've been making sure that capitalism works for them at everyone else's expense. Even their own people are resources to be spent, who want their governments to do as little for them as possible. Its been an oligarchy of the rich for a very long time and that hasn't been threatened since 1991
I don't know how many times I've listened to this story, but I always give it a re-listen. Brutal strategist, that Blythe, but respect.
A Masterpiece as always....first go-to , about 40k lore......
Finally someone thought of Exterminatus DURING the Tyranids attack and not before! 😀
An Unclean One stood in the veil between worlds, reaching out with a trembling hand as Rophanon catches fire.
Nurgle waddles up behind him and pats him on the shoulder, "There There..."
The Unclean One sighs, "But... but... so many dead bodies.... I was just about to reveal my newly converted cultists!"
"We'll get'em next time..."
I've never been able to afford Warhammer 40k, but I've always loved the lore. Thanks for these videos!
