Holy shit how did I just now realized that the Fall of Cadia was Abaddon doing 9/11 in space
That damn abandon, we’ll get him some day for killing our planet
@@KrakDuk I couldn’t imagine how awful Spaceport security post-Fall of Cadia would be
9/11K
I hate that this is accurate.
Osama a Baddon?
Sorry
I feel like the only right name to call these Space-Rambos would be 'Catachads'.
Catachads, Death Korps of Chad, and the Chadian Shock troopers. The emperors finest
Been saying catachads for years now and glad that someone else does as well
Wow. And not one mention of Gigachad Sly Marbo.
@@achimdemus-holzhaeuser1233 he needs no title, because everyone can see or hear how much of a Chad Sly Marbo is by just being near him.
love the fact that catachan humans are genetically predisposed to antiauthoritanianism, bodybuilding and bandanas
Lmao fr, they’re just built different like that
Thats why Catachans are the most based faction in 40K
fuck yea
Walking Stallones and Schwarzeneggers.
I'm more a Grey Knight fan, but the Guard do all the actual fighting and deserve respect. Also the Cadians are clearly awesome since the none of the millions of survivors were wiped out by the Inquisiton after Cadia's destruction.
If you got the inquisitions respect you’re doing something right (or very very wrong). The wolves were at the fall of Cadia maybe the inquisition didn’t want another war lol. Thanks for watching!
@@KrakDuk It also might have been the presence of the Phalanx with the Imperial Fists ( unmovable when it comes to defending baseline humans ) that made them think twice. Nice video, which i should have said in my first comment :).
I would like to see a... ( buckle up this is going to be a long one, this also my personal Fan Fiction)
Psyker Kriegsmen, Who becomes a Grey Knight Captin.
Essentially a Rogue Pysker living on Krieg's last remaining Hive City Ferrograd. The Psyker is desperate, and need some quick cash so he trades some of his DNA (Blood, Hair, Saliva, Sperm. Whatever is required to make a clone). Not knowing what was going to happen with it. The Rouge Psyker exits the story (He's no longer useful to the greater narrative)
A batch of Krieg Clones are made unaware that some of them are Psykers. (Not that it's going to matter since majority of Kriegsmen die before their 18th birthday).
There is one of these clones who live long enough to awaken, and use his Psyker Powers. He becomes a great boon for the Death Korps. So his role is made much important than that of the average cannon fodder Kriegsmen.
The Psyker Kriegsmen starts making a name for himself. So much so that the Inquisition finds out about him. This Leads to the long, and arduous trials that Pyskers undergo to see if he is of any use to them, or he needs to be turned into a battery for the Emperor. The testing on him leads to them confirming what we already know. He's a damn good fighter, with an incredible ability to have extreme control over warp (dude kicks ass, and is an amazing Psyker because the Kriegsmen basically don't have emotion, and don't know fear).
So word spreads throughout the Inquisition that there is a Psyker Kriegsmen. Some Grey Knight Captains (possibly even Kaldor Draigo, or whatever sound more plausible to you) get sahold of this information, and want to scout the Kriegsmen.
The Psyker Kriegsmen go's through the Grey Knight trials. He does exceptionally well, as expected of a Kriegsmen. He goes through some more Psyker Trials and Training to become a more skilled Psyker.
Finally after all the Trials, and Training he becomes a Grey Knight. He gets the Emperor's Gene Seed, and Silver Terminator Armor. But it's thought a good idea. To allow him to keep his memories since they know his secret. That he's a clone, and how clones are made. It was also thought that having his memories as a soldier could make you a better Kight. His one goal is to serve the Emperor, and follow orders, and kill chaos demons.
Over time he becomes his own Knight Captin. Where he clones him self as the template for his branch of the Grey Knights will be made up of Clones. The Inquisition turns a blind eye to this because they just want results. Finally these Grey Knight will take ordinary Kriegsmen turn them into clandestine set of foot soldiers to take into battle to split the defense of the demonic threats they fight. Essentially the foot soldiers are there to deal with lesser threats and enemies, so the Grey Knights can solely focus on the demonic entities. By doing this the Crush there enemies by sheer overwhelming force, the Kriegsmen way. (Kriegsmen Clones can't succumb to demonic influence because of their lack of emotions, and past connections such as family)
funny how you respect them when the grey knights would kill all the guard if called ahaha
@@charlesqueenan2738 The Grey Knights don't automatically purge loyalist witnesses, they follow the orders of the Inquisitor in charge on the matter.
space 9/11 is wild
😳😳
As a certified german i do like kriegers (means literally warrior in german) because like germans they dont talk much have no sense of humour and hate themselves
Omg he just like me fr fr no cap on god
Lmao, glad to have a certified German on the channel
Thanks for watching!
Actually they’re WW1 revanchist France only GERMan thing about them is their stahlhelm and their name
As a German, fuck you, dont underestimate my Puntential
Kriegers are French though. Yes the helmet is a mix, the na.e is German, the uniform is full on WW1 French.
They are also clones.
"It's German humor, it's no laughing matter." 😂
Cadians are also a little british I think. Mostly because Creed is literally Space Churchill and their sargeants have autoguns, very reminescent of british section commanders in WWII who would have Thompsons or Stens instead of regular rifles.
Yes, I meant to add that, but kinda spaced it☠️ their sense of humor is also slightly British, which makes sense considering a lot of British people wrote their lore lol. Thanks for pointing this out, and thanks for watching!
Um that was like every army during ww2......NCO's and squad leaders had an SMG or something like an M1 carbine.
I am British
Also the Eye of Terror being right next door to Cadia is like how WWII Britain was right next door to Nazi-occupied Europe and was constantly being bombed by them.
Space Churchill got me 😂😂
Please do the Vostroyans. They’re my favorite Guard regiment and I’d love to see their historical inspirations. Also, Steel Legion, Valhalla Ice Warriors, and maybe some talk about the elite regiments like Tempestus Scions and Kasrkin.
Yes! I’ll definitely cover them sometime in the future👍. Also on my list is a video about all the different imperial storm troopers, I love things like kasrkin and scions. Thanks for watching!
Vostroyans my beloved
"Space Marines might be the poster boys, but the Guard is you and me." Such a good line that really grounds it. I love the Guard.
Being a sack of flesh and telling god himself to suck it will always be my favorite trope in sc-fi
Ya, I love that. Picking up a laser rifle and facing the wrath of Satan before lunch is just awesome
@@KrakDuk damm you quick
@@user-qg8ye4di6d haha, I usually just have UA-cam running while I work so I see the notifs
@@KrakDuk makes sense also we both have a ass sleep schedule lol
@@user-qg8ye4di6d oh yeah fr, I’m cooked with my sleep schedule lmao. I’m more efficient at night thi😭😭
To be fair, that Cadian cracking jokes would've been let off easy if all the Night Lord did was shoot him
He shoot the guy on the left but torture the other for making that lame joke😂
Finally someone realizes that the Krieg uniform is more French than German, as someone who is obsessed with WW1 Krieg was the perfect match for me. I usually paint them in more early WW1 color schemes and Napoleonic uniform colors for the cavalry
Ohhhh me toooo I make my army look like Napoleonic era soldiers
Kriegers using a shovel-launching tank has got me reeling,
Also would you consider a part 2? This video was so much fun!
Lmaoo I thought about that at the last moment and added it😂
Yes! I love the guard, I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching!
The shovel was of course the most important Weapon of both World Wars .. those trenches don't dig themselves.
The siege of Cadia is inspired by the real Siege of Candia (1648-1669) where the Ottomans besieged an island port city for 21 years while Europe sent reinforcements to hold the line.
The ottomans eventually took the city but at tremendous cost
I wouldn’t say no to a version of this video for some of the space marine chapters. Keep up the good work!
Yes! I’ll definitely be covering marine chapters sometime in the future. There a lot of cool ones. Thank you for watching!
Love your content my guy! Hope to see more regiments in the future like the Vostroyans, Valhallans, maccabian janissaries, praetorians and most of all my boys from the Steel Legion.
Thank you! I definitely want to make this a series if people enjoy this video, I love the Vostroyans aesthetic
The main art you use for your character on screen is very charming.
Thank you very much!
Death Korp. Im like 99% sure it pronounced Korp(kore), like the marine corp(core)
Ya tbh when recording sometimes I get a bit in my head and mispronounce things or talk fast haha. Hopefully as I get more used to the mic mistakes like those happen less frequently.
Thanks for watching!
It's funny, I've always pronounced it "Korps", even though it's one letter away from "corps" in french which is pronounced "Kor" XD
Its corpse hence the K, its apart of the campy nature of 40k.
Love these videos dude! Also, the way you draw the Kriegsmen makes me very happy :)
Wholesome gas-mask bois and gurls.
Thank you! Glad you enjoy the videos.
And im glad you like the Krieg design lol, I spent an unreasonable amount of time trying to figure out how the tube should look😂😂
Would love a video on some of your fav characters. Myself, I think the crippling imposter syndrome of Uthar the Destined would make him mood kindred with Caiaphas Cain
Ooh yeah that would be fun to do. Not sure if people would care for my takes too much though I’m somewhat basic (I like cadians for emperors sake)😂
Well, you actually did it. You not only made me feel something for Cadians, but actually gave me something to love about them. Well done sir.
Ah yes I’m glad to make my cadian bois look cooler to people🙏 thanks for watching!
RAHHHHHHHH GET BIG CHANEEEEL
WE MUST GET REINFORCEMENTS ARUGHHHHH!
Congratulations for 1k subscribers! 🎉
Thank you! Hope you enjoy the vid
@@KrakDuk I did, really interesting, I have learned something new about my favourite faction thank you
Man get yourself a sponsor and make your channel more sustainable! I love your content!
The the Elysian Drop Troops and Harakoni Warhawks are my favorites being eilite French/American Airborne infantry with more light buggy vehicles.
Ya I’d love to look into them. The Elysians are awesome. Idk that much about about the warhawks so I’d love to look into them
I love drop troopers in sci fi, they’re always some of my favorites.
Thanks for the suggestion and watching the video!
Tanith of course! I loved the books and also their sneaky style of warfare is awesome!
This was so well edited and voiced. Well done, and thanks 👏
I’d love to hear you talk about the Vostroyan Firstborn, probably my pick for the coolest guard regiment. Anyways, loved the video and congrats on 1k!
Yes! I love the Vostroyans models, I’d love to make a video about them.
Thanks a lot! Glad you’re enjoying my stuff
Your Artwork is amazing, hope to see more from the guard!
I live in Normandy, my birth town was liberated by a canadian regiment, and there's several streets in France named "Canadians street" or variations of it, they've left a trace here ^^
Love the video, can't wait to see Tallarn in the next video (my favourite Guard)!
Love the guard- Your #1 Fan (official)
Thank you sir🙏 guards the best faction fr fr
I really hope you make another video like this as I like to see the real life equivalents of the regiments
I’m glad you enjoyed it! I had a ton of fun researching this video, history has always been fascinating to me. I’ll probably make a part two with the Vostroyans and two other regiments some time in the future.
Thanks for watching!
What a coincidence that I started getting into 40k after watching aliens and starship troopers. I can now see how I got lead onto it. Great video, I'm having fun learning about 40k, and your videos are a part of that
Haha yep, I was a fan of all those things before getting into 40K as well. And to be fair aliens influenced a lot of franchises I love😂.
Glad you’re enjoying the videos! Welcome to the hobby
I like this it's an interesting analysis of the tropes each follow and I think it'd be quite accessible to those new to 40K and the guard. If you do another I'd like to see your take on the Mordian iron guard and the Tanith first and only
I think this could make an intresting series, you should definetly make it into one
Really nice video, my favourite regiment would be the Death Korps of Krieg and the Vostroyan Firstborn I like the lore behind these two and I am a lover of history so yeah the boys from Krieg are just amazing plus I love Big Artillery
The Death Korps, Cadians, Steel legion, and Valhallans are my absolute fav with catachan being my go to when I want to make a Vietnam themed guard. Also good vid! You earned my sub!
Damn really the Catachans are you go-to for a Vietnam-themed army? Where did you get that idea!!??
Just found this channel and I dug this video. Hoping we get a sequel with my boys the Tallarn
I have never been interested in Warhammer but this video was cool.
Volume is perfect in this one
Oh great! Good to hear, I’ve been playing around with the settings a lot. Thanks for watching and providing feedback! It’s been very helpful
Good stuff mate making it easier to understand then most
Thank you! I’m glad my vids are digestible lol. One of my goals for the channel is to make fun light videos to be a stepping stone into more in depth lore
Idk why but the image of the entire jungle holding up a single hand pointing a gun at a guy made me laugh more than it should have 😆
My fav regiment (and the one i based my army off) are the tannith 1st anf only.
Ooh yes the tanith are very interesting, I’ve been wanting to read Gaunts Ghosts.
I snuck one in very briefly near the end lol. Thanks for watching!
that video was one of the best, if not the best in your channel
Thanks a lot! I’m glad you enjoyed it and happy to see that the videos are improving
I would love to hear more about the Valhallans, as all I really know about them is what I pick up from reading and rereading Ciaphas Cain.
for a second my youtube was broken, and you had the comment section of an Uncle Roger video XD
Lmaooo that’s wild. UA-cam must think he’s the same as me cuz we’re both Asian😳
man, this is one of those ocasions where youtube actually shows me something really cool!
another interesting fact about the Cadians is that those born and raised on the planet, before its destruction anyways had a minor mutation that usually made the Cadians's eyes of a violet coloration, this was due to Cadia being close to the Eye of Terror
can't wait to see more of these with the other IG regiments!
what a goated video, subscribed 🔥
Thank you! Very based
WOOOOOOOOOO NEW VIDEO
LETSGOOOOOOO
Would watch a series of these
Thanks for the shout-out to the Canadian inspirations for the Cadian Shock Troopers.
Ya in retrospect it seems very obvious imo, but I usually see Cadians just getting boiled down to starship troopers lol. Thanks for watching!
@@KrakDuk I think the Cadians actually predate the Starship Troopers movie by two or more years (the first Imperial Guard Codex was published in 1995, SST premiered at the tail end of 1997). They definitely predate the UNSC Marines from _Halo_ .😅
not to be that guy, but it is interesting to note that the cadians came out in 1995, two years before starship troopers and 6 years before halo CE,
they looked slightly differnt than they do today however, I think it is still very clear that Cadians, USNC marines and the movie starshiptroopers took inspiration from the colonial marines and not from each other, its neat to see one concept explored in three wildly different ways
Yeah some others pointed that out, however the cadians that came out on 1995 had a different look, the current iteration or previous iteration if you think the knee pad cadians constitute a new one.
The ones with the large pauldrons, flak chest piece, and distinct helmet came out around 2003 which would be after CE. I can definitely see the argument of the Cadians and UNSC marines both just being offshoots of the colonial marines though.
The biggest thing that makes the UNSC marines look like cadians to me was the large pauldrons and helmet shape. However, I can definitely see those being the designers exaggerating the Colonial Marines design elements.
I agree it is pretty cool to see how inspirational Aliens was. I definitely feel it’s one of the most important pieces of sci fi
Thanks for watching!
How have I never seen your channel before?! It’s criminal. Subscribed!
Thank you I appreciate it! Might just be because I started it somewhat recently
@@KrakDuk That's fair, I didn't even check the post dates! Looking forward to all your content going forward into the future!
I loved the hell outa this!!! I would love to see you go into further Guardsman regiments!
Thanks a lot! I’ll definitely be continuing the series a lot of people seemed to like it
@@KrakDuk You should talk about the modern Stormtroopers (Tempestus Scions) and old school 40K Stormtroopers in a video! A lot of people don’t know that the Tempestus Scions are not the original Stormtroopers.
@@hagank1111 oh yeah good point. One of my planned videos is going to be on the various types of imperial storm troopers like Kasrkin, scions, grenediers, etc. The old storm troopers looked cool, both the OG beret ones and more spec op looking stormtroopers that came after
@@KrakDuk YEEEE!!! I miss the old Inquisitorial Stormtroopers from Dawn of War and the older models.
@@KrakDuk Love your videos by the way keep up this amazing work my friend.
Just found your channel bro. Keep doing this.
Awesome! I definitely will be making more stuff👍
I’m genuinely confused, your videos are so good I expected you to have so many subscribers, you deserve at least 100k
Awe thanks that’s very kind! I just started, but I’m glad people are liking the videos. Thanks for watching and for your kind words
@@KrakDuk ofc, I hope your channel grows even more in the future
P.S. I love the fact you put some much time in to your subscribers and reply to there comments (I subscribed)
Ya I try to reply to as many comments as I can when I get time. Thanks a lot! I appreciate it
Awesome video! My personal favorite Guard regiment is the 99th Generian Medium Infantry.
Thanks alot! I’ve never heard of those guys, I’ll have to look into them sometime. Thanks for watching!
@@KrakDuk Hoooboy, you’re in for a real treat then.
Ever heard of The All Guardsmen Party?
Keep this going, Praetorians are my favourite.
Yo KrakDuk, remember me when you're famous and at 100k subs! I know you'll get there!
I’ll never forget my OG subs🙏 and thank you that means a lot to me, I hope your right haha
@@KrakDuk Trust me you’ll get popular, it’s impossible not to with someone as cool as you :)
@@LordCrate-du8zm thanks a lot!
@@KrakDuk You’re welcome :D
Great video! Even though I don't own any Imperial Guard models (I wish I did though) I do love the Imperial Guard. I would love you to cover the Armageddon Steel Legion (They are very underrated IMO) and Valhallan Ice Warriors (Basically WW2 Soviet Red Army in space and Ciaphas Cain's bros).
It's my goal to make at least a platoon out of every Guard range GW has made throughout 40k. The Steel Legion are my favorite, but I like them all and I can probably easily convince myself to turn them all into companies over platoons.
Would definitely love a series of all these.
As a beginmer Vostroyan Firstborn simp, I'd love to see them get covered
(Covering the Maccabian Janissaries would be pretty awesome too, their mask design and overall aesthetic is baller)
Awesome! I’m glad you liked the video, I’ll definitely cover more regiments in the future! The guard are the best. I’ve drawn a few jannissaries I love their design
Thanks for watching
@@KrakDuk Oh hell yeah, I cant wait to see them
While I do disagree on the American influence on cadia (I believe that they are just sci fi guys with a Greek influence and Canadian naming because of how vast Cadia's fighting style is, which would result in not being tied to one specific country). I do have to say that this is a great video! I will be gladly waiting for part 2. Also fun fact, cadia could have also been named after arcadia! (A Greek mythological afterlife) and cadia was called arcadia back in the rogue trader days. Keep up the good work I have been really enjoying your videos :)
Fair, I just thought the shock troops moniker and combined arms tactics made the coincidence too strong to not touch on. But that can definitely just be almost any modern military.
And yeah I was going to mention Arcadia, but didn’t quite know how to tie it in. I didn’t know Cadia was named Arcadia in RT though, thats very interesting!
Thanks for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed the video
@@KrakDuk No worries. At least we can agree that cadia is a top tier regiment.
@@archietvernev2598 yesssir. Love my cadians
Love me some Imperial Guard, especially Cadians. It was fun to listen to this while applying decals to my Cadian Shock Troopers. Would very much like a part 2 and onward. While regiments like Vostroyan Firstborns, Tallarn Desert Raiders, Praetorian Guard have very clear inspiration, I'm curious what you'll say about some of the lesser known regiments like the Harakoni Warhawks or Savlar Chem Dogs
Ya I love all the guard regiments, I definitely want to cover them all sometime in the future! Glad you liked the video thanks for watching!
Please do, I'd love to watch them
Talk about the Valhallan Ice Warriors!
Love the cold themes!
dude i fucking love ur channel and ur drawing is so sick
Would love to hear about Vostoken first born and the steel legion sometime
Just finished my Malcador Defender’s paintjob
Aye let’s go, what regiment do you play?
I need to start painting more of my gray guys lol, go so many guardsmen stuck in primer purgatory. Thanks for watching!
@@KrakDuk I play a custom regiment that I headswapped with bearskin caps, they’re painted like Praetorians but are dressed like Vostroyans.
@@tackyattack awesome dude! I also made a homebrew regiment
I love your drawings I wish my style looked like that
Thank you! I’m glad you like it lol, I’ve been drawing silly character like that for a while now
Apparently the shovel thing in world war 1 was because bayonets often get stuck leaving you to either drop your rifle or be forced to slow down and pull it out ... which is bad when there are snipers and machine guns everywhere.
Bonking them on the head with a shovel is just as incapacitating but much quicker.
Does that tactic work on a a giant demon or big old ork. I dunno. But i can imagine a kriegsman being more then willing to find out
Absolutely would love to see you talk about the Steel Legion, My mechanized bois need the love.
Yes! I’d love to talk about the steel legion, they’re honestly a hit underrated recently I feel
Cadia also inspired by the Siege of Candia, the secound longest siege in history, 21 years.
Oh cool, I missed this one. Thanks for pointing it out👍
To be exact, most soldiers in WW1 used shovels or clubs, because the trenches were just too narrow to use effectively your bayonet. But, if you get out of the trench, the bayonet mounted on the rifle, gets its advnatage back, as its longer reach will allow you to kill your opponent before he can harm you ^^
So really, the only time a shovel is useful is close quarter in a trench, and of course building that trench XD
For a second I thought Master Chief was dubbing this video. Here's a follow
Haha I wish. Thanks a lot! That’s huge praise
Love this but please do more covering other regiments, like the Tanith
Yep, part two for this is scheduled after Armageddon part 2. Thanks for watching!
If you could make your own guard regiment what would y’all base it off of?
(Awesome video man)
Thank you glad you enjoyed the video!
I actually wrote lore for my own homebrew regiment I needed out below a bit, but TLDR they live on a mostly aquatic planet with one supercontinent that’s pretty much completely under imperial control. My regiment is basically nautical flavored Cadians fighting pirates and sea monsters.
My homebrew lore: Some cadian regiments got stranded on the planet due to warp storms and trained the local PDF in cadian war doctrines and the locals taught them how to navigate the jungles and fight better on the beaches in return. The imperials have near complete supremacy of the land so they mostly fortify the coasts.
They have Kars lining the coastlines to protect against daemonic incursions coming from the depths of the sea. In addition, they have kasrkin killteams patrolling in valkyries ready to drop on any threat that slipped past the perimeter defenses.
Along with the daemons, the imperials also have to deal with pirate orks sailing the seas, eldar corsair fleets, and giant tau battlesuit presence.
I’d say my lore is mostly based on cadians (and their influences), d-day type battles, some American pilgrim elements, Pacific Rim, drop troopers in general (originally wrote the kasrkin to resemble ODSTs, ARC troopers, and real world paratroopers), pirates, a little Jurassic park, and just general sea monster tales.
Nice video!!!
Thank you very much!
I would say the hostility of the planet Catachan is heavily inspired by the popular fictional world of Australia. Catachans are my favorite regiment. As someone who lives in a jungle-like country, I share familiar connections with these big burly men as I too participate in guerilla warfare with the voices in my head telling me government agents are outside my house👍
(Of course many of the things I said are jokes, except for the "Catachans being my favorite" part ✌️🤣)
Lmao, true! I’ve seen that zany place in videos, how do people think of such things. The mythical “platypus” and “kangaroos” are very creative🤣
Thanks for watching! I love the catachan they’re such a cool regiment
if you do a video on more of the niche regiments. Look up the Tallarn Desert raiders, they are pretty cool.
Ya I love the desert raiders, their models are really cool. I’d love to learn even more about them. I’m thinking the line up for a part two would be Vostroyans, Tallarn, and Steel legion. Might swap some around though, Ik the Tanith and Maccabian Janissaries are also highly requested.
Thanks for watching!
you forgot that the kriegers use the Lucius-pattern no.98, the "98" being a reference to Gewehr 98 and it's Karabiner variants
Oh wait that’s actually really interesting. I didn’t pick up on that, nice shoutout.
Thanks for watching and pointing this out!
@@KrakDuk
No problem, man
Keep up the good work :)
My absolute favorite regiment is the Catachan Jungle Fighters. But a close second is the Elysian Drop Troops. The Tanith First and Only are really cool too, really tragic backstory though
Ya those are all very cool regiments! I’d say catachan is a close second favorite of mine, and my third favorite constantly switches.
Elysians are super cool, I’ve always loved the idea of drop troopers. My homebrew regiment specializes in drop assaults.
Thanks for watching!
Would love to hear your spin on the penal legions.
Also on Cadian Shock troops.
Also they have influence from 70’s Soviets and “WW3 European War scenario” (like Arx Gap being “Fulda Gap” place where enemies will make a large scale assault).
If you do a part 2 may I respectfully request my boys the Tanith first and only?
Part two is coming after tomorrow’s video! Not entirely sure on the line up tho. Tanith is one of the front runners, we’ll see
I don’t blame him for not putting in the tunnel rats but still it would be cool to see em
Absolutely brilliant video! Cadia stands!
Thank you very much! Cadia Stands indeed!
More please!
I work in forestry and I carry a massive bowie knife with a winged skull painted on the blade. I go shirtless whenever possible. Catachan jungle fighters badass
Unfathomably based
@KrakDuk 😂 my gf has red underwear. I tied it on my head as a bandana but she wouldn't let me leave the house 😂
@@davidoftheforest3822 😂😂
As a Canadian, I love the fact we get to be one of the best Imperial Guard regiments.
Now explain the Savlar Chemdogs (best regiment)
Ah yes, the chemdogs are pretty underrated. I’d love to learn more about their lore and make a video. Thanks for watching!
Nice video but can you do a malice/Malal video about the fifth chaos god malice/malal
Ooh yeah that would be interesting, I’ve always been curious about learning more than just the basics about him. I’ll put that on the list, thanks for watching!
@@KrakDuk ok
Yes, an appreciator of the emperor's TRUE finest
Thank you
I’d like to see the more obscure regiments from the older editions. I saw one that was Revolutionary War inspired, along with the Severan Dominate and there obvious roman influences, and I know there’s a book about a regiment that was inspired by the Civil War fighting the Tau. But I haven’t read it yet.
Oh yes another commenter told me about them! It was quite interesting, I have been wanting to discuss more obscure aspects of the lore on the channel so I’ll add that to the list👍 thanks for the suggestion
Yes please more IG Regiment videos
I definitely will sometime in the future! Thanks for watching!
Always had a soft spot for the Tanith First and Only
Were there no Tanith in the video, or were they just so stealthy that we didn't notice them
