I mean, would we really call it "mildly obscure" considering the player base is quickly overcoming D&D in estimated population? Like, that's the gold standard of geekdom, and 40K is rapidly gaining ground on it.

The great emu war is indeed a real military opperation. And one of the main commanders; and I am not joking, said "They broke into small groups that our machine gunners couldnt easily track, and employed gureilla tactics" THEY STARTED AMBUSHING OUR TRUCKS
25:45 I could have been misinformed, but I remember hearing that the Administratum was very confused when they were contacted by Krieg, and said "Uhh send us a regiment by the end of the year and we'll go from there." To which the Krieg government replied "Send 1 regiment? But we already prepared 20!"
The convo about dinosaur caloric intake reminds me of a conversation between wizards in The Science of Discworld. They were trying to design a creature that could survive meteor impacts (its a long story) and one wizard invented an immortal limpet that wouldnt stop growing until it eventually became too big and would need 25 hours to eat its 24 hour caloric needs, and starve.
Love how Isyander took the time to go on a whole side tangent on whether it is ethical to shoot the last T-Rex, as if the Imperium would even spend a second to think about ethics instead of shooting it on sight to reclaim the area.
As an Australian, for the Emu war tangent… We Aussies don’t actually care that the Emus won. The only reason it would’ve changed to a forfeit would likely be because somebody in the government felt embarrassed.
I really don't know why Aussies get shit for the Emu war, Emus aren't birds, they are tanks that can go 60km/h. No armies with the capabilities of the Australian army at the time would have been able to deal with it.
@@sachsrussel8295 Because we shit on ourselves for losing to a bunch of birds, and we are only one of two nations to have both declared war on birds and lost said war (the other nation being China with their war on sparrows).

As an Australian I love that we're just a death world to you guys. I mean I get it, between the harsh environment in most of the country, drop bears, and all the poisonous stuff we have, it makes a lot of sense. As far as the gun situation, yes we had a big gun buy back and heavily increased gun restrictions after the Port Arthur massacre in 1996, way after the Emu War which was in 1932, and it's hard to get guns in the city but if you're a farmer it's pretty easy to get a rifle. You aren't going to get anything crazy like an assault rifle, but hunting rifles are common and often essential. As far as the Emu war, yes Emu's are native, farming however, is not. There's a reason indigenous Australians didn't have much in the way of farming, it's because the wildlife here doesn't play to well with it, you don't have any "beasts of burden" cuz our largest native animals don't play ball like that, and those same animals are generally herbivores who, like the emu's did, just decimate farm land. There are other factors too but that is one large reason for a lack of farming before colonisation. We had guns and we still lost the Emu War, which yes, we sent in the army so it was a legit conflict, if that gives you any idea how resilient our wildlife can be. Also, yes the emu's weren't belligerent, the same cannot be said of cassowaries, largest omnivorous bird in the world and often titled as the most dangerous bird in the world. One dies not simply fuck with a cassowary.
Except there's plenty of evidence that Australians Aboriginals had agriculture. It's more likely that they their own ways of dealing with Emus and might have hunted them for food as well.
@@LilFeralGangrel There was agriculture in some areas but it was limited, you don't see the same level of widespread agriculture that you could find in other parts of the world for the reasons I mentioned. As far as emus go, the issue came about because they were destroying agricultural land that was cultivated in areas there previously wasn't agricultural land, so there wasn't a problem until westerners came and effectively created one by changing the ecosystem of the area to farm.
Coming from rural Texas in the US, I feel like I can relate in some ways. I live in a different state and still shake my clothes for critters.

The advice for the tarantula hawk if you're stung. My understanding it is literally : lay down and scream. So that you don't blindly run into something and hurt yourself
*autoinjector sedative and a lower body covering powered exoskeleton fitted with a handgun CIWS corresponding to your Adeptus organisation and service rank on a servo arm (Admin/Terra/Mech/Astartes/Mun./Psy/Astra-Tel./Nav.-Nob/Inq./Cust. etc.), a gyroscope and a servo skull grade semi autonomous machine spirit that automatically walks your unconcious ass to the nearest triage station while defending you with that if you trigger the sedative injector...
Tarantula Hawks are native to my area. They tend to avoid humans like the plague so if you manage to actually get stung by one you kinda deserve the pain. When Coyote Peterson tested the sting he had to persistently antagonize the specimen until it finally gave in and stung him. Their venom is what they rely on to hunt/reproduce so they’re not gonna waste it on something they can’t eat or parasitize if they don’t have to.
Fun fact about the hurricane of glass: that’s literally just Oklahoma weather. Tornadoes are known for picking up any debris into the air and scatter them hundreds of miles from the sky. It can be shards of glass. It can be cars or even full on trains. It can be animals. It can be some poor bastard’s house. Nothing is sacred to tornados. And Oklahoma has one of, if not the most, strongest winds on the entire planet with winds that can go past clear 300 mph while hurricanes usually top at 200 on a really bad day. So yeah, don’t go to Oklahoma 😊
reminder most of the human population lives in an area where the vegetation itself has a hard time growing. yes, the only safe place to sleep is on sheer rock cliffs and the like
@@LexYeenthe fact that the nids came down and went "nope we are not doing this" before the space marines even got there if i remember correctly is great
@@LexYeenThere's a suggestion that some of Catachan's wildlife, such as the Catachan Devil, is of Tyranid origin. My theory is that a Tyranid scout ship happened upon Catachan a very long time ago and it did the thing it usually does, sends Tyranid genetic material to the planet to corrupt existing flora and fauna, which I imagine was already pretty hostile on Catachan but this dialed it up to 11. Thing is the hive fleet never came and so life on Catachan evolved independently, perhaps forming a broodmind that was quite primitive because there weren't any highly intelligent Tyranids around, this could be why the planet will unite to turn on any foreign lifeforms, they have some level of psychic connection. Anyway when the Tyranids show up eventually, the creatures of Catachan don't recognize them as allies because they've been separated for such a long time and both evolved separately, plus Catachan creatures are more hybrids rather than full Tyranids, and so Catachan sees them as foreign invaders and does what it does. The Tyranids for their part try to do the thing they do by spreading their genetic material to corrupt the flora and fauna but, seeing as how the existing flora and fauna have already evolved from Tyranid genetic material, this either does not affect them or it's actively rejected by the creatures of Catachan who would have some form of controlled evolution like Tyranids have. So then when Tyranids invade, they're effectively fighting other Tyranids that are a bit different based on the genetic material that adapted and evolved with, and perhaps Catachan has some pretty tough things before anyway so they just end up outclassing the invasion. Tyranids can adapt genetic material from those they kill, but can they adapt material from another form of Tyranid that doesn't want them to? Maybe not, maybe that's why they can't adapt to Catachan. This is all just an idea but I like the idea of Catachan resisting the Tyranids cuz the world is basically just one independent Tyranid entity in its own right.
Love seeing Iysander learn about the Great Emu War. Ten thousand bullets to take out only one thousand Emus. And the entire problem was solved by making better fences for the farmers. It was like 2-3 years of being beaten by flightless birds and it’s funny. And I hate that I knew where Koda was going with the baby hippo analogy. Same level of humor
Catachan is just australia after all their residents were pumped with the captain america serum and watche one too many rambo movied in their free time
Oh my God, I knew about Catachan, I knew it was quite possibly the most dangerous planet in the Imperium. I didn't know it has so much fight in it that the NIDS said nah it ain't worth. Suddenly Sly Marbo doesn't seem quite as far fetched as before. Also bro in ultramar was like "What if we made our own Catachan, with blackjack and hookers?" Give us a Legion of the Damned video!
For my vote I want the worst deaths in 40K, put something outside of the pole, I would love to have like a full episode of just a really good quotes that you can find in the books.
Journalist/movie student here: the lighting gets better every time I watch a new episode. Game recognize game gentlemen Edit: 1:02 that devious smile Isyander
You didn't talk about emu fighting tactics!!!!!! They would travel in groups of 20+, but when attacked, they will break off in groups of around 5 and scatter, meaning you have to give up most of the initial group to chase a small party. . These numbers are on the high end, just as Isander loves.
Tau crisis suits would be awesome, also avoid Pritchard, AL. All I'm saying is if firefighters have to have police escorts to go there, it's best to just stay away
January is garnet, February is amethyst, March is aquamarine, April is diamond, May is emerald, June is alexandrite, July is ruby, August is peridot, September is sapphire, October is tourmaline, November is topaz, December is blue topaz.
Isyander, Koda, if you're ever in Pittsburgh, avoid Squirrel Hill, and Bloomfield. I know the Children's Hospital is in Bloomfield, but it's still infested with gangs lol.
You forgot the other Death/Tomb Worlds where the Imperium enshrines their "honored dead," i.e., people important enough to remembered, and (more importantly) not have their *entire* body made into Corpse Starch. They at least get to have their skeleton "cleaned" and interred into a proper place of eternal rest.
Fun fact about Bolt rounds: They wouldnt be much larger than a 3" 12 gauge round. Canonically human sized bolters are .73 caliber, matching with a 12 gauge. Astartes Bolters are .75 caliber. Just instead of a solid slug or pellets, it fires a rocket at much greater velocities. Also the standard magazine size for a bolter depends on pattern, but its generally 20 or 30 rounds. Those magazines would be massive.
" I wonder now as they chant my new title, what they will decide to do with the relics. Hero of Helsreach, the crowd cheers. As if there is only one." Armageddon one of the better settings in 40k. For those of you not in the know Helsreach is a great 40k book I really recommend it.
The thing with the Emus is that they're very intelligent, they straight up used guerilla tactics to evade the military. Posting sentries, ambushing vehicles and actively messing with the soldiers. That and since most of their vital organs are stuffed away in a fairly small area, not even the machineguns the military employed were very effective, since even when they did score hits, few of them were fatal for the birds.
I would like to give a minor correction to Koda regarding the the task force they sent after the emus. It was three guys and a army surplus jeep, with a single maxim machine gun chambered in .303 British. While the machine gun was effective for a few, many would have already scattered or simply tanked the .303, because giant karking bird in Australia. They were largely unsuccessful in thinning the population of terror birds and the emu remains a pain to those living in the outback.
Oh and Isyander. As soon as you said “I got in trouble for that” in regards to the size of bolt shells, I did a nervous laugh cause I know damn well I was one of those. Also Koda. The mag capacity for a bolter is surprisingly low at 20 rounds, 15 for Locke pattern. Yes I expected more too.
This is the first time ive checked the description, surprised to find a big synopsis of the episode. Small details like that show alot of love for the podcast/topic.
The reason emus are so hard to hit is because they are basically 50% fluff as weather protection and heat dissipation. small caliber and you just pissed it off and it runs away, high caliber and it goes right through and they run away. Its hard to say they lost the emu war when they would just see the trucks coming and run away at 50 miles per hour. Its still really funny to say they lost to big bird tho
Spiders the size of your fist, or dinner plate for that matter, are good. They trap and kill pests and aren't poisonous. It's the small poisonous ones that can kill you. They aren't allowed in the house.
I mean, spiders the size of your fist do leave rather large wounds when they bite you, which can get infected and fester pretty easily, but yeah, usually a lot less venomous than the smaller cousin's. Course, then you get to the really small spiders which have fangs and venom glands too small to penetrate your skin and deliver enough venom to have any significant effect at all.
For mine, it's Box Town. It's called that because it's a part of town that is primarily trailers and boxes. Since moving in I think around 30 different places were ousted as drug houses.
I like the camera in this episode. Idk what dark deal, with what chaos god you had to make, to get the coloring & light balance just right. But I appreciate you making it. Also Worst Fates in 40K LET'S GO!!!
Lololol emus are not only big and fast but their organs are arranged in a way that bullets just go straight through them. Also the big gun jammed on its first outing.
Crisis suits No to everything else (there's not enough tau content that isn't partly "I hate them you should too") Side note, play the game Warhammer 40k: Mechanicus, that soundtrack is dope as hell
FYI: horses are still used in some armies. Mostly in mountain warfare. Horses are sometimes the only way to bring supplies up the slopes (air support is too expensive, needed elsewhere). They conduct recon in those environments too...well sometimes, widespread drone use will probably change that. Gasmasks for those horses are also still in production.

The house hippo commercial they had here in Canada made me want one despite completely knowing house hippos aren't real. But a hippo that is just big enough to raisins is perfect. I don't live in a town big enough to have a bad area, it is like 10 total streets with no post office or stores. It is like a suburb with no actual urb around it. It is legally categorized as a Hamlet.
The bolter round is a 75 caliber or 1.1in in naval gun caliber or 28mm fun fact the us navy used 1.1in or 75 caliber for anti aircraft guns so there are photos of the ammunition to see the size of a bolter bullet
At the time I’m typing this I am listening to the chaos gods video and Isyander said for khorne “he is sitting on his throne and saying” - “call me all day everyday it’s 40k” And all I’m thinking is if they plan to make shirts please make a short with khorne on his chair and that quote it would go hard
We got an area in our city called Red Ball, because it surrounds a military base in a circle around it, and it is absolutely abysmal. The buildings are derelict, the people wear torn clothing, and even the animals are emaciated. You cant go into the area unless you’re essentially military because you rock up with your camo greens and the residents dont mess with you. Otherwise you’re accosted for money or even maybe get a hole in your car.
From what I understand, and remember about the emu war, it wasn’t a lack of heat, it was the farmers were all World War I vets (the Australian government gave a lot of soldiers land to try and rebuild the economy after the war) and the minister of agriculture wasn’t really doing anything after many complaints from the soldiers/farmers so they went to the guy that was the minister of defence. That was also the guy in charge of all of the Anzacs during World War I and he and he basically responded the only way he knows how to
Something I learned in a fire control class for work, our best fans, on structure fires, if the wind is blowing about 5Mph in a different direction, the fan is now basically useless
I am honestly loving that I am only 12 minutes in and Australia already gets mentioned... and then the Emu War. "The problem was... the farmers didn't have the firepower." As as Australian, this has made my day.
Very minor point of correction on Catachan, the planet has not yet been invaded by tyranids in the current setting, and we should all be thankful for that - imagine the bioforms that we'd be faced with if the hive mind got its tendrils on the boom juice in those toads on that note, a video on named bioforms would be very nice. With how koda reacted to purestrain genestealers and the way they create gen 2s, he'll love the Parasite of Mortrex

One of my favorite defense economics YTers (crowded market, I know) was doing a playthrough of Rogue Trader on his side channel, and when explaining thr origin options ar chargen, simply glossed 'Death World' as 'Space Australia'. (In fairness, a) he is (very) Australian, and b) he also glossed 'Fortress World' as 'Space Maginot Line', so...)
Koda's version of the emu war is hilarious. Reality is the 3 dudes only had 2 standard lewis .30 cal machine guns on the jeep and 10k rounds. That may sound like a lot but Emus are incredibly hard to hit in the head or neck thanks to them being relativy thin and small, but their bodies are heavily muscled and also covered in a thick layer of dense feathers. The aussies said it took obout 10 rounds per bird on average. So theses guys and a cameraman were sent to kill 20K birds with 10k rounds. They did what they could and shrugged after.
In New York: Avoid Brownsville, parts of Crown Heights, Canarsie can get kinda sketchy too. In Boston: Avoid Dorchester, Roxbury, South Boston is hit or miss so probably steer clear.

Their venom is what they rely on to hunt/reproduce so they’re not gonna waste it on something they can’t eat or parasitize if they don’t have to.
Fun fact about the hurricane of glass: that’s literally just Oklahoma weather. Tornadoes are known for picking up any debris into the air and scatter them hundreds of miles from the sky. It can be shards of glass. It can be cars or even full on trains. It can be animals. It can be some poor bastard’s house. Nothing is sacred to tornados. And Oklahoma has one of, if not the most, strongest winds on the entire planet with winds that can go past clear 300 mph while hurricanes usually top at 200 on a really bad day. So yeah, don’t go to Oklahoma 😊
There's also a real planet (HD 189733b) that has glass hurricanes lmao
remember the world of Catachan doesn't need a dedicated home defense...
the world ecosystem itself is enough for the invader..
And the _Tyranids_ couldn't deal with it.
_The Tyranids._
reminder most of the human population lives in an area where the vegetation itself has a hard time growing. yes, the only safe place to sleep is on sheer rock cliffs and the like
@@LexYeenthe fact that the nids came down and went "nope we are not doing this" before the space marines even got there if i remember correctly is great
@@LexYeenThere's a suggestion that some of Catachan's wildlife, such as the Catachan Devil, is of Tyranid origin. My theory is that a Tyranid scout ship happened upon Catachan a very long time ago and it did the thing it usually does, sends Tyranid genetic material to the planet to corrupt existing flora and fauna, which I imagine was already pretty hostile on Catachan but this dialed it up to 11. Thing is the hive fleet never came and so life on Catachan evolved independently, perhaps forming a broodmind that was quite primitive because there weren't any highly intelligent Tyranids around, this could be why the planet will unite to turn on any foreign lifeforms, they have some level of psychic connection. Anyway when the Tyranids show up eventually, the creatures of Catachan don't recognize them as allies because they've been separated for such a long time and both evolved separately, plus Catachan creatures are more hybrids rather than full Tyranids, and so Catachan sees them as foreign invaders and does what it does. The Tyranids for their part try to do the thing they do by spreading their genetic material to corrupt the flora and fauna but, seeing as how the existing flora and fauna have already evolved from Tyranid genetic material, this either does not affect them or it's actively rejected by the creatures of Catachan who would have some form of controlled evolution like Tyranids have. So then when Tyranids invade, they're effectively fighting other Tyranids that are a bit different based on the genetic material that adapted and evolved with, and perhaps Catachan has some pretty tough things before anyway so they just end up outclassing the invasion. Tyranids can adapt genetic material from those they kill, but can they adapt material from another form of Tyranid that doesn't want them to? Maybe not, maybe that's why they can't adapt to Catachan. This is all just an idea but I like the idea of Catachan resisting the Tyranids cuz the world is basically just one independent Tyranid entity in its own right.
@@SerasXHarkonnen I really like that theory!
Love seeing Iysander learn about the Great Emu War. Ten thousand bullets to take out only one thousand Emus. And the entire problem was solved by making better fences for the farmers. It was like 2-3 years of being beaten by flightless birds and it’s funny.
And I hate that I knew where Koda was going with the baby hippo analogy. Same level of humor
Catachan is just australia after all their residents were pumped with the captain america serum and watche one too many rambo movied in their free time
Gw needs to get an Australian zoo keeper to voice one of the catachan maybe one of the irwins
Need to put original Predator movie, into that Rambo movie rotation
Oh my God, I knew about Catachan, I knew it was quite possibly the most dangerous planet in the Imperium. I didn't know it has so much fight in it that the NIDS said nah it ain't worth. Suddenly Sly Marbo doesn't seem quite as far fetched as before. Also bro in ultramar was like "What if we made our own Catachan, with blackjack and hookers?"
Give us a Legion of the Damned video!
For my vote I want the worst deaths in 40K, put something outside of the pole, I would love to have like a full episode of just a really good quotes that you can find in the books.
I'm in. Absolutely in.
I don't want Isyander to suffer, but it'd be a great episode.
@@RexytheRexyhe did a daemonculaba video, don’t worry about it
@@daisyjoy242 Good point.
Journalist/movie student here: the lighting gets better every time I watch a new episode. Game recognize game gentlemen
Edit: 1:02 that devious smile Isyander
You didn't talk about emu fighting tactics!!!!!! They would travel in groups of 20+, but when attacked, they will break off in groups of around 5 and scatter, meaning you have to give up most of the initial group to chase a small party.
.
These numbers are on the high end, just as Isander loves.
57:28 In shreveport, Louisiana we have Cooper Road, Olive Street, Browning Street and Ceder Grove area.
Don't forget that they're not just hippos, they're cocaine hippos! Ever see a hippo on cocaine? No? Because most people don't survive.
I would love a tale of the death worlds. Full of fun short stories of worlds being found or people trying to tame them.
I just love that Isander was like "What's Bespin?" God that made me lol
That hurt for some reason lol
And then he dared to call Koda a nerd. The AUDACITY of the man.
@@sachsrussel8295 No no. Called him a nerd in the MIDDLE of a NERD PODCAST.
Tau crisis suits would be awesome, also avoid Pritchard, AL. All I'm saying is if firefighters have to have police escorts to go there, it's best to just stay away
January is garnet, February is amethyst, March is aquamarine, April is diamond, May is emerald, June is alexandrite, July is ruby, August is peridot, September is sapphire, October is tourmaline, November is topaz, December is blue topaz.
I can see the future!!
When did they start listing October as tourmaline? It's been opal for my whole life, do I have to replace old gifts from my childhood now? Lol
They really ran out of ideas toward november
When I was a kid, December was Turquoise
@@IncarnateSable Same
Isyander, Koda, if you're ever in Pittsburgh, avoid Squirrel Hill, and Bloomfield. I know the Children's Hospital is in Bloomfield, but it's still infested with gangs lol.
49:06 actually komodo dragon mouths are very clean, and very venomous, the bacteria thing is a miss study, they are very venomous
The best part of this episode was Isyander and Koda just going back and forth blowing each other's minds with REAL WORLD facts.
You forgot the other Death/Tomb Worlds where the Imperium enshrines their "honored dead," i.e., people important enough to remembered, and (more importantly) not have their *entire* body made into Corpse Starch. They at least get to have their skeleton "cleaned" and interred into a proper place of eternal rest.
Fun fact about Bolt rounds: They wouldnt be much larger than a 3" 12 gauge round. Canonically human sized bolters are .73 caliber, matching with a 12 gauge. Astartes Bolters are .75 caliber. Just instead of a solid slug or pellets, it fires a rocket at much greater velocities. Also the standard magazine size for a bolter depends on pattern, but its generally 20 or 30 rounds. Those magazines would be massive.
" I wonder now as they chant my new title, what they will decide to do with the relics. Hero of Helsreach, the crowd cheers. As if there is only one."
Armageddon one of the better settings in 40k. For those of you not in the know Helsreach is a great 40k book I really recommend it.
Helsreach is also a rather good animated movie on UA-cam. Can recommend.
The thing with the Emus is that they're very intelligent, they straight up used guerilla tactics to evade the military.
Posting sentries, ambushing vehicles and actively messing with the soldiers.
That and since most of their vital organs are stuffed away in a fairly small area, not even the machineguns the military employed were very effective, since even when they did score hits, few of them were fatal for the birds.
I would like to give a minor correction to Koda regarding the the task force they sent after the emus. It was three guys and a army surplus jeep, with a single maxim machine gun chambered in .303 British. While the machine gun was effective for a few, many would have already scattered or simply tanked the .303, because giant karking bird in Australia. They were largely unsuccessful in thinning the population of terror birds and the emu remains a pain to those living in the outback.
Oh and Isyander. As soon as you said “I got in trouble for that” in regards to the size of bolt shells, I did a nervous laugh cause I know damn well I was one of those. Also Koda. The mag capacity for a bolter is surprisingly low at 20 rounds, 15 for Locke pattern. Yes I expected more too.
This is the first time ive checked the description, surprised to find a big synopsis of the episode. Small details like that show alot of love for the podcast/topic.
Damn you guys must be Pyskers because I was just thinking to myself
Damn I could really go for a new episode of Isyander and Koda right about now.
Personally I am always thinking that.
The reason emus are so hard to hit is because they are basically 50% fluff as weather protection and heat dissipation. small caliber and you just pissed it off and it runs away, high caliber and it goes right through and they run away. Its hard to say they lost the emu war when they would just see the trucks coming and run away at 50 miles per hour. Its still really funny to say they lost to big bird tho
No Vulcan, don't boop the snoot.
:C
I'm never forgiving James Workshop for that
I want to pet this creatcha!
When isyander mentioned the tiny hippos I immediately thought of the Russian lap giraffes (look then up)
Spiders the size of your fist, or dinner plate for that matter, are good. They trap and kill pests and aren't poisonous.
It's the small poisonous ones that can kill you. They aren't allowed in the house.
I mean, spiders the size of your fist do leave rather large wounds when they bite you, which can get infected and fester pretty easily, but yeah, usually a lot less venomous than the smaller cousin's.
Course, then you get to the really small spiders which have fangs and venom glands too small to penetrate your skin and deliver enough venom to have any significant effect at all.
Except for the funnelweb spider. Those bastards can get big and are very dangerous
A friend of mine got tagged by one of these very cranky spiders. He was unamused by the fact it bit thru his boot, and he was in some serious pain.
The best part of the Safari world is that it turned into the planet of Witchers that live in Mortal Engines esque cities on tracks.
YES, my favorite autistic person talking about their hyper fixation while forcing their best friend to listen to it all!
That's how my marriage works. Twist- we are both Isyander and Koda depending on the topic

Tau Crisis suits would be a fun video
the natural light looks great. isyanders lighting has been pretty good as of late but in some episodes koda looks like he's glowing
Tau suits! need more 40k mechs in my life
For mine, it's Box Town. It's called that because it's a part of town that is primarily trailers and boxes. Since moving in I think around 30 different places were ousted as drug houses.
The one in Allen ky ?
@@That_man1994 Nah, Indiana.
34:18 watching this 5 months later when Moo Deng the pygmy baby hippo took over the internet for a bit
Koda looks like a twilight vampire right now
He really is a gorgeous man. If he dove headfirst into some unicorn snot, he'd have to beat the ladies off with a stick
I like the camera in this episode.
Idk what dark deal, with what chaos god you had to make, to get the coloring & light balance just right. But I appreciate you making it.
Also Worst Fates in 40K LET'S GO!!!
Lololol emus are not only big and fast but their organs are arranged in a way that bullets just go straight through them.
Also the big gun jammed on its first outing.
Tau Crisis suits! love the ghostkeel also! the ai and pilot need more lore!
* pushes the red shiny button * Armageddon is under attack yet again ( Armageddon pls)
when they mentioned Barking Toad, the amount of Vulkan patting images I've seen throughout the year just flooded right back at me
Crisis suits
No to everything else (there's not enough tau content that isn't partly "I hate them you should too")
Side note, play the game Warhammer 40k: Mechanicus, that soundtrack is dope as hell
this! too much t'au content is kinda hateful
They deserve it for 7th, 8th, 9th, and possibly 10th edition.
The lighting is doing wonders for that table and the rest of the set. Looks real clean
It’d be cool to see Tau crisis suits. Love y’all’s content!
43:40 "Japan, back in the day... had _hands"_ is one of the WILDEST statements I've ever heard 💀💀💀
Horses with gas masks is something ive never thought about
Me neither 😅
They’re real, btw
FYI: horses are still used in some armies. Mostly in mountain warfare. Horses are sometimes the only way to bring supplies up the slopes (air support is too expensive, needed elsewhere). They conduct recon in those environments too...well sometimes, widespread drone use will probably change that. Gasmasks for those horses are also still in production.
It was a Maxim Machinegun but the principal is the same.
Big Gun lost.
voting at 1:00
Hello, I love your podcast. Your podcast is a great way for anyone, new or experienced, to learn more about the amazing lore of Warhammer 40k. Please keep making these videos, as I will be watching each and every one of them.
My vote is for the planet of Armageddon. Armageddon has many, many battles fought on its soil and great characters too such as Yarrick and Grimaldus.
As someone that lives in the south of Brazil I feel that this topic is a bit personal specially now.
Honestly as much as I like Armageddon crisis suits are the coolest things the tau have, I’m giving my vote to the gundam suits
- I vote skelly-bots.
- Humming a tune is not a copyright breach. ^^ Legally cannot be.
- You sneeze, and you find a very poisonous snake. It came out yer nose. How it got there, we don't know. Welcome to Australia. :D
- "A triceratops just bowled through my living room and ate my hydrangea." Just the way you delivered that. XD Hydrangea, indeed!
- Vickers machinegun on a truck, not a minigun. This was in like, 1906 or something.
- I *fucking* knew he was gonna say that. Baby Toothbrush.
- No, Imperial Japan didn't have hands, they had thumbs. One up their ass and one up their nose, both named Hideki Tojo. Also war crimes and *rampant* human rights violations.
- And after you buy a Corolla, pimp that thing into a monster truck named The Ayatollah of Corolla, so you can rumble down the block in your bitched-out monster car and just style on everybody around you.
- A standard bolter magazine is 20rds.
- Joe Street: where it both is and is not ever joever.
The Mephrit dynasty is where the weapon lore I crave is at: Necrons that make other Necrons go, "...dude. Overkill."
No it's where Joemamma at.
I'm so unsurpeised that Koda chimes in with his birthstone the moment Isyander said the word
The absurd derails of conversation of recent episodes have been surprisingly entertaining.
The house hippo commercial they had here in Canada made me want one despite completely knowing house hippos aren't real. But a hippo that is just big enough to raisins is perfect.
I don't live in a town big enough to have a bad area, it is like 10 total streets with no post office or stores. It is like a suburb with no actual urb around it. It is legally categorized as a Hamlet.
12:13 Whilst the Emu is native to Australia, most Australians are not (and neither is Euorpean-style agroculture).
I love listening to you guys, actually playing warframe while listening to you guys.
The bolter round is a 75 caliber or 1.1in in naval gun caliber or 28mm fun fact the us navy used 1.1in or 75 caliber for anti aircraft guns so there are photos of the ammunition to see the size of a bolter bullet
At the time I’m typing this I am listening to the chaos gods video and Isyander said for khorne “he is sitting on his throne and saying” - “call me all day everyday it’s 40k”
And all I’m thinking is if they plan to make shirts please make a short with khorne on his chair and that quote it would go hard
Hippo the size of a football for a pet? sounds like you need a Canadian house hippo
North American House Hippo, it can be found throughout Canada and the Eastern United States
@@chevtothemax thank you was going by memory and was unsure..but was too lazy to google it XD
@corvus1801 Yeah, I had to double check whether it was Eastern or Northern United States
We got an area in our city called Red Ball, because it surrounds a military base in a circle around it, and it is absolutely abysmal. The buildings are derelict, the people wear torn clothing, and even the animals are emaciated.
You cant go into the area unless you’re essentially military because you rock up with your camo greens and the residents dont mess with you. Otherwise you’re accosted for money or even maybe get a hole in your car.
49:12 actually it turns out they're also venomous.
Planet JoJos is filled with Psykers that manifest their powers as Stands.
Mmmmm Radiation, Animals, and industry.
I want to eventually hear about the story of Armageddon... but tau crisis battle suits, i mean it big boom bot so yeah
Mechs! Mechs! Mechs!
I want to see Optimus Primes gliding across the battlefields!
From what I understand, and remember about the emu war, it wasn’t a lack of heat, it was the farmers were all World War I vets (the Australian government gave a lot of soldiers land to try and rebuild the economy after the war) and the minister of agriculture wasn’t really doing anything after many complaints from the soldiers/farmers so they went to the guy that was the minister of defence. That was also the guy in charge of all of the Anzacs during World War I and he and he basically responded the only way he knows how to
My vote is for the Crisis suits
My vote is for the Tau Crisis Suits. They are the iconic Tau unit and was one of the first things that made me fall in love with 40K.
Gimme the (gep gun) Crisis Suits
Something I learned in a fire control class for work, our best fans, on structure fires, if the wind is blowing about 5Mph in a different direction, the fan is now basically useless
Vote for the Tau Crisis Suits, for the greater good!!!
I am honestly loving that I am only 12 minutes in and Australia already gets mentioned... and then the Emu War.
"The problem was... the farmers didn't have the firepower."
As as Australian, this has made my day.
Armageddon! Armageddon! Armageddon! And don't forget to mention that it's Ullanor Prime.
Very minor point of correction on Catachan, the planet has not yet been invaded by tyranids in the current setting, and we should all be thankful for that - imagine the bioforms that we'd be faced with if the hive mind got its tendrils on the boom juice in those toads
on that note, a video on named bioforms would be very nice. With how koda reacted to purestrain genestealers and the way they create gen 2s, he'll love the Parasite of Mortrex
I vote for Armageddon, cos I hope you guys talk about Yarrick and Ghazghkull's rivalry
This is my first time commenting ever after a year of watching and I'd love a worst fates in 40k. Also I love what you guys are doing keep up the great work
The reason earth is a death world in sci fi settings is because we have Australia 😂
One of my favorite defense economics YTers (crowded market, I know) was doing a playthrough of Rogue Trader on his side channel, and when explaining thr origin options ar chargen, simply glossed 'Death World' as 'Space Australia'. (In fairness, a) he is (very) Australian, and b) he also glossed 'Fortress World' as 'Space Maginot Line', so...)
One of the best things about these videos? All the non-40k stuff you learn. Like Drug hippos.
Hello people who got here first.
Hello there
I'm here, just not first.

Worst fates. Also watching lysander comprehend the greatest war our planet has ever known is glorious to behold
Koda's version of the emu war is hilarious. Reality is the 3 dudes only had 2 standard lewis .30 cal machine guns on the jeep and 10k rounds. That may sound like a lot but Emus are incredibly hard to hit in the head or neck thanks to them being relativy thin and small, but their bodies are heavily muscled and also covered in a thick layer of dense feathers. The aussies said it took obout 10 rounds per bird on average. So theses guys and a cameraman were sent to kill 20K birds with 10k rounds. They did what they could and shrugged after.
In New York: Avoid Brownsville, parts of Crown Heights, Canarsie can get kinda sketchy too.
In Boston: Avoid Dorchester, Roxbury, South Boston is hit or miss so probably steer clear.
