@Lerahk This is right, Vance Motherfucking Stubbs is a badass. But not as gritted as Sturnn, and as manly obvioulsy. Also being a coward for not dying in combat after loosing 100 Baneblades during the Kaurava campain. Did I said ONE-HUNDRED Baneblades? Where is Day-o-MIDIs?
@@jamesvivian2855 I view the opening scene of the tyrnaid campaign as canon, that's why he was found wounded in the guard one; same as witheliphas, he kills Thule right before diodes arrives, while the Eldar kill the works (since both the Eldar and SM endings are canon for DOW III, (the only purpose that game serves is to clear up retributions and soulstorms canon)
"If I had been smarter, I would have left this sector years." Merrick just said the thing all we guard are thinking. Not only that but saying it next to his Lord General. That guy has admantanium nerves.
Castor is the empidemy of pragmatism. I dare you to find a single emotion in hsi voice... YET he still manages to be humain fluid and likeable. That's admirable Voice Acting right there.
I have heard it said that General Castor's trophy room has mounted within it, the heads of specimens of every Tyranid subspecies yet encountered by the Imperium which he has slain personally including that of a Hierophant bio Titant which took his left arm.
I love how in the same cutscene, all the other factions have only about 4 or 5 people, but of course the Guard comes equipped with two dozen meatshields.
I can see it. Castor striking a pose atop the corpse of the vile Tyranid like a Great White Hunter of the British Empire before retiring for a cup of tea or perhaps a slug of whiskey to celebrate before mounting its head in his impossibly vast trophy room.
"Maybe if we throw more men at the enemy, they will drown in all the blood" "Incoming artillery fire! Fix Bayonets!" "One clip. One Kill" "Chaos land raider approching! Fix Bayonets!"
Art Bnd “We have more men than they have ammo!” “You say fiery crash, I say dynamic entry.” “Dark Heresy? Good thing I’ve got my flashlight.” “Slaaneshi Daemon has 4 dicks. I’ve got more balls.” *_TEH MEEEEEEEMEZ!!1!1!_*
I imagine that Castor has an improbably huge trophy room containing the stuffed heads of every tyranid subspecies ever encoutnered by the Imperium and all personally slain by Castor. Wouldn't suprise me if he lost his arm to a Hierophant bio-titan, repaid the favor by severing its head and then putting it in his Trophy Room. The manliest motherfucker in the Guard since Creed, Gaunt or Colonel Straken.
Anyone else notice that General Castor seemed pissed off that the Imperial Guardsmen did a better job then was expected of them and refused to die in the process?
1:13 Had to double check what Castor said, for a second I thought I heard: "As expected. The best response to an ambush is to yell 'Ambush!', quickly and forcefully."
"Yer head's goin' right on me pointy stick!" "And yours is going in my trophy collection. Let's see who's the better headhunter, shall we?" "Ho ho,dis is gonna be fun!" "Quite."

3:42: "Look, men- this is how I deal with xenos." *calmly stands off to side, doing nothing, while Inquisitor Adrastia madly runs around fighting the Nids*
You are actually better off leaving Inquisitor Adrastia behind, and just using her Stormtrooper squad instead. Equip them with melta or plasma weapons, and they form an excellent firing line
Methinks they based Lord General Castor (at least in part!) on GoT's Stannis Baratheon. (Who else goes into a battle & DOESN'T give two shits when 2/3's of the men go up in flames?)
@@mojewjewjew4420 Castor - "The Xenos have played their little trick - they can only Play it once..." Sergeant Major Merrick - "Sir..? the Enemy batteries, the suppressing fire..? Hundreds will die..!" Castor - "...Thousands. Come With Me And Kill These Xenos!!!" (Just as big an asshole, just as hidebound, but still a Bad Ass none the less...)
"Exterminatus, the complete and utter destruction" ect... She really does like to say that speech, did she practice it in underwear in front of her mirror?
And people say Vance Stubbs is a badass. Castor sees a horrifying tyranid hive lord and his first command is "Aim low, I want its head as a trophy"

Straken grabbed one’s neck and beheaded it

As long as Castor is the PC. If you play Tyranid as PC, Castor pops

every hair in castor's mustache has killed more nids alone than entire space marine chapters put together
Before even emerging from his skin. Each time such an emergence happens, hundreds of thousands of hive ships die.

+Callum N he survided enough shit which happened in that sector.
an IG soldier that has a name? that is rarer than jackpots.
He pulls a gun on the guy later, with a Lord Commissar standing behind him. How the man can walk with bollocks that big science has yet to determine.
@@tanall5959 And Castor, in turn, shows some adamantium balls of his own and actually talks the guy down instead of shooting him.
"Take a good luck men - this is how i deal with xenos"
*crouching like a baby because of supression fire*
+HalfTangible To be fair, that IS a pretty good way of dealing with Xenos, as well as anything else that's firing on you.

I think you gaslit yourself
*"We are engaged! Look, gave me a ring and everything"*
I love how in the same cutscene, all the other factions have only about 4 or 5 people, but of course the Guard comes equipped with two dozen meatshields.
Those are probably Merick's men save for the stormtroopers which accompanied Comissar LORD Bern.

*wall explodes* Castor: This better be important!
1:13 Had to double check what Castor said, for a second I thought I heard: "As expected. The best response to an ambush is to yell 'Ambush!', quickly and forcefully."
I love how at 3:44 the Hive Tyrant is like : ''Fuck this shit I'm out'' Which perfectly fit with the word ''coward''.
I will love to see Lord General Castor fighting Warboss Gorgutz, with both of them hunting for each other's heads to add to their collection!
"Yer head's goin' right on me pointy stick!"
"And yours is going in my trophy collection. Let's see who's the better headhunter, shall we?"
"Ho ho,dis is gonna be fun!"

why does merrick voice sounds so familiar....
Same VO as the heavy weapons teams from Dark Crusade and Soulstorm. Among others.

Dear gawd I hope these two return for DoW 3. They made putting up with Adrastia worth the effort.
Genereal Castor really saxon hale in discovered
@agronland Technmarine Martellus is my favorite. Never a main character, but clinical and efficient, and damn good at what he does.
So Merrick is a Badass hes telling off the general and he has some balls for doing what hes gonna do on the Space Hulk
I would very much like to see Castor's Trophy wall....It has to be littered with heads how he acts in battle.
I think there is one piece of fanart of him doing exactly that, but atop a mountain of orks. Praise the Emperor.
Its Head will go nicly in my trophy collection. Aim low.
Nice one General
Merrick and Castor could have an entire campaign to themselves, without Andrastia XD
You are actually better off leaving Inquisitor Adrastia behind, and just using her Stormtrooper squad instead. Equip them with melta or plasma weapons, and they form an excellent firing line
I think Merrick is feeling kinda left out, every other hero have a god damn power sword and he doesn't!
General Castor is such a bad ass.
it may sound odd... but this one seems to have some good flavor...
gotta love the IG...
4:30 Guardsman shitting bricks
Because the Imperium has an at times archaic notion of "leading from the front."
@agronland
I'd be Corax. (Raven guard primarch)
If we're just talking retribution fellas, I'd be NAILBRAIN!
I love the way they say sector. Fucking awesome..
The best response to an ambush is to counterattack!
YOU DON'T SAY!?
@canpitt Yeah. I wonder if he's a Praetorian since they're based on the Victorian British who liked to hunt dangerous animals for sport?
What a man.
@RanwulfMaxwell
Yeah but late game he gets an autocannon.
@canpitt Another badass commander added to the best IG commanders list XD
You forget Commissars Yarrick and Gaunt.
General Castor the Safari Hunter.
Which, considering the morale of the soldiers, is pretty understandable.
@Shyyrn as befitting a officer and a gentleman.
Probably. But otherwise I agree with most of that line-up for the IG in DoW3, especially Strumm, Stubbs, Castor, and Merrick.
Lord general Big Boss
So...
A Question. Does he just carry that Hive Tyrants head around til the end of the game?
@gtgoskate He's my second favorite behind Martellus.
dude, theese guys are BA
@agronland i could not agree with you more :)
@Cocarat206 Are you thinking what I'm thinking?...DAWN OF WAR 3 IG CAMPAIGN!
Methinks they based Lord General Castor (at least in part!) on GoT's Stannis Baratheon. (Who else goes into a battle & DOESN'T give two shits when 2/3's of the men go up in flames?)

I like large caliber explosive rounds.
Castor is asshole and the inquisitor desire die like chaos champion on winter assault ork ending.
