In honor of every combat unit across the imperium who fights in glorious melee combat I have a quote from Sly Marbo about the subject Sly Marbo: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Ahhh. That's a good quote. Don't forget the other quote: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!"
I've found a section where he elaborated on his previous remarks as to the structure of melee combat in regards to the ebb and flow battle and the nature of opposition forces with particular focus on composition and construction. Sly Marbo It reads: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAh. (He's very concise)
One of my favorite Assault Marines I made I named brother Ash. He had a Catachan walker chainsaw for a cybernetic arm and a double bolt pistol. "This is my boomstick!"
Chaplain: “Brothers! dissolve them till they lose all colour like skittles left in your mouth for too long but you forgot what flavour they were but now you cannot check, in the name of the Emperor!”.
My mother plays ork sluggas, shootas, big shootas and four nobs. Two with chain axes, two with klaws. Dad plays a few standard assault, one jetpack assault and a few bolters / one Wolf Priest. I have a group of skitarii / sicarian ruststalkers, a trio of techpriests and a pair of electro priests that we use to form our Kill Teams and play... well, Kill Team.
You sum up the tragedy of being an Astartes who's entire being is focused towards warfare. The Salamanders craft exquisite weapons and armour, the Blood Angels paint to temper their fury while the Ultramarines study texts and procedures, but it's all in service of making them better warriors. For all their power, genius and potential longevity, they'll never be more than living weapons and I think it's sad that, for the most, they're at peace with that fate. So many deliciously macabre layers to digest.
I never expected to hear a space marine stay "skittles." That made me to laugh. I know in this case you're probably talking about the proto-bowling game, but I cackle at the image of a assault marine charging at the foe screaming: "Taste the Rainbow Xenos Filth!" The only thing more fun than assault marines are a massed charge Khornate Berzerkers
"The Space Marine shall master all weapons and all battlefields! When harried, the Space Marine shall drive his enemies back! With Combat Knife, Boltgun and Grenade the Space Marine shall assail his foe, the Chainsword is the will of the Space Marine made manifest!"- Tactical Marine Sergeant Tarkus, of the Blood Ravens 4th Company
I vaguely remember that melee combat also has more ritualistic value and is therefore more effective in fighting daemons. Great video as always. Your voice is great to listen to and really helps me form an image in the great self-created stories you tell. They're the biggest highlight in your videos and really catch the essence of the subject. Keep up the great work!
Well said sir. The universe comes into a unique and appreciable focus inviting a deeper chroma when one attempts to imagine a deeper colour within the setting.
My fav example of the assault squad is an extract from I think the 2nd edition Angels of Death codex with a Blood Angels assault squad ripping turncoats to shreds
3:33 wait wait wait...they still have skittles in the grim dark future????? 38,000 years into the future, where there's nothing but death, suffering, and war...they still have skittles?!? 5 stars instant love this story lolol
Last time I was this early the Thunder Warriors were still Big E's main force . Thanks for the excellent video ! Also your explanation on the psychology of what the SM's go through was spot on and a subject that doesnt get enough attention compared to others discussing how Brave, Fearless, Strong, Disciplined they are. Thank you again for an exceptionally well written researched episode.
I do hope the Blood Angels at least get the option to equip their Primaris Assault Intercessors with jump packs, Sanguinius' boys wouldn't quite be the same without the good old Descent of Angels maneuver.
It’s a shame that the Death Company Intercessors are sorely lacking melee wargear. At least they are a troops choice. Also I’d love to see Astorath &/or Dante get a new model primaris or not.
At the time of writing, 3 sad souls were unmoved by the words of Sir Baldermort. I am glad to not be among those few, for I feel more connected to my Marines than before with each installment of Baldermort's videos. Thank you, Sir.
I loved your justification for Assault marines, too many times people say it's just a game or the universe is so crazy nothing matters. It was very good reasoning. I am also insanely excited for the new Assault Marines, I will be getting a box day one for sure!
Well, it’s all warhammer logic. Not mine as far as I know really? Perhaps my warped memory. Sorry! But it’s fun I hope. ;). Me too. See how the ordering thing goes. ;).
I noticed a fair lot of Blood Raven pics in this video. Is this subtle foreshadowing of a lore video on the Blood Ravens? Because I would be all for that.
The Assault Marines are awesome at what they do I however prefer Space Marine Tanks such as the Predator Annihilator, razor backs and the Land Raider. Keep up the Good Work Baldermort :) I watch every episode !
By the Holy Emporer of mankind may there never be an end of warhammer 40k/fantasy material so that we will always have your videos to look forward to. You are the best!
I agree with Baldermort. The overwhelming armored assault have been the Iron 10ths core tactic since very early in the Great Crusade. The Flesh is weak, so bring a Big Metal Tank!
Out of the literal thousands of Chapters in modern 40k? Probably at least a few dozen. Including a few that are probably descended from Traitor stock. The Salamanders also have a preference for heavy armored assaults.
@@Brutalyte616 Salamanders are great at that, especially against hordes of enemies. Imagine driving a Land Raider Redeemer loaded with Assault Centurions towards a mob of Orks. Most of the Orks will instantly be incinerated by the Redeemer's Flamestorm Cannons and Centurion Flamers, or gunned down with Hurricane Bolters and the Twin Assault Cannon. The few Orks who survive long enough to reach close combat will barely make a dent in the hulking Centurions, and subsequently get punched to death with Siege Drills. Yes, I have fond memories of this exact scenario happening on the tabletop.
There needs to be a Space Marine phalanx formation. Nah, go big or go home, there needs to be a Terminator armor phalanx, for cleaning out space hulks and the like, with chainsaws on the end of huge pikes and overlapping shields.
I agree completely Lord Bald One. To me there is nothing more fun than investing more than half of your points into a suicidal jump pack deep strike with Vanguard, Assualt boys, and a Chappy and Smash Cap. And to my friends who say "don't put all your eggs I one basket bro you're going to get tabled" I say in return "If you can't handle the dice get then get off the craps table" (I then proceed to fail my charge roll and proceed to get overwatched into the next edition) oh well tis is the way of the dice.
Tau Fire Warrior: Fear not Aun'shi. Our weapons far out range the primitive Gue'la. They'll never be able to reach us Assault Marine: I'm about to ruin this xeno's whole career *revs chainsword*
Feeding the algorithm, and another great video Lord Baldermort. Can't wait for the next one, and keep up the grind good sir;, Oh and please be sure to make time for fun!
*Plays Flight of the Valkyries* "ATTENTION ALIENS! THE PAIN TRAIN IS COMMIN THROUGH AND HAS NO BREAKS!" *Slams into the enemy lines and begins to RIP AND TEAR!*
I remember that my one of my early thoughts when approaching the space marines in depht for the first time was "why haven't all of them rebelled yet?" these warriors had their lives stripped of all joy and self-expression, in servitude of a bunch of lowly humans who wasted their lives away with no purpose. That is why I homebrew my own chapter, the Ivory Titans, pearly white marines that imitate humans in all things, working jobs, building houses and forming "families". All of this though, was just a mere mockery, devoid of all feelings and performed just like any other military drill.
"Oi da 'umis fallin' 'ut of da sky. Call in da Storm Boyz ya' ruddy gitz 's time to MOSH. WAAAAAAAGGGGHHH" Urk'zokk Rockthroowaagghh shouting while throwing some massanger grotz through an old Tellyporta and listen to the storys of the old Servitor on board his Spacehulk. Great story for evening relaxation. Keep up the awesome work.😊👍
Glorious combat the thrill of every thrust parry and strike the revelry of it I can see why some chapters in the lore have a love for it great stuff, yet again mr b every video you do comes on leaps and bounds, I've started the habit of watching everything in one sitting when I paint my own stuff at the weekends great great stuff look forward to more
I've not used my poor assault marines in 8th that much; here's hoping that 9th is kinder to both them and vehicles. :) Well, done as always, Brother Balders. For Rogal!
I was once known as Kimjongskill. I have been lurking, watching, admiring, and oh how you've grown.. I unabashedly await your next foray into the Grimdark. We've heard about all of this marvellous technology but what of the things who make it? Do they not deserve some credit? Should we celebrate them? Or are they the enemy from within..?
Great Malcador's Ghost! The Feast of Blades?! Did I hear you rightly? How did I not yet come across something sounding so grimly FUKN METAL! So darkly EPIK! in this Universe? And I've been lore-loading WH40k, literally binging, *since before CORONA wasn't just a brand of beer!!* First week of March, anyway, lol. I must take my leave of you, now. I'm strongly compelled to hunt this badass brick of lore, take a knee, swiftly make the sign of the Aquila in the direction of the Himalayan Mountains and commence to bashing the knowledge into my brainmeat! (Metaphorically. Probably.) Last one to The Black Library has to buy me a bottle of Cthonian Bourbon, aged since before it got righteously *Kabliterated* in the name of The Emperor. And... Go!
I need some advice, I've never really used assault squads in my army as I've alway preferred devastators, but I am close to completing my company (only taken 20+ years) and after watching this video and hearing the passion in your voice I want to know if I should get old school assault marines or wait for the primaris ones? I'm veered towards old school as they seem more versatile but advice would be welcome
Assualting with massive unwieldy meele weapons or advancing with utter insane walls of firepower is why I love playing chaos marines, like with orks (which I also love playing with) you either win big or loose big, but what ever happens it's never dull. That plus I love to customise and for me orks and chaos marines are just so great for doing just that, at least for me anyway.
Please do the minotaurs chapter! In my head cannon, they are thunder warriors with world eater and iron warrior astartes geneseed, they are one of the most brutal Chapters!
'...knocking all over like Skittles'
...glad to know my favorite candy survived the milleniums.
I think its a britishism for bowling pins.
slay the rainbow....
ANGRY MARINES!
@Cherry Lane sounds like heresy to me.
Philistines not knowing what proper Skittles are :). JK the mental image of brightly colored fruit flavored xenos gave me a pretty good chuckle.
In honor of every combat unit across the imperium who fights in glorious melee combat I have a quote from Sly Marbo about the subject
Sly Marbo: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Ahhh. That's a good quote.
Don't forget the other quote:

It is said that sly marbo is the weaponzied form of the latter A , crafted by the emperor as a meme to the forces of Chaos
I've found a section where he elaborated on his previous remarks as to the structure of melee combat in regards to the ebb and flow battle and the nature of opposition forces with particular focus on composition and construction.

It reads:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAh.

"You cannot shoot these enemies."
"We shall cut them down then."

Neat
Chaplain: “Brothers! dissolve them till they lose all colour like skittles left in your mouth for too long but you forgot what flavour they were but now you cannot check, in the name of the Emperor!”.
Clicked faster than a DKoK soldier has time to even think of dying for the Emperor.
Im actually working on a DKoK army right now.
My mother plays ork sluggas, shootas, big shootas and four nobs. Two with chain axes, two with klaws. Dad plays a few standard assault, one jetpack assault and a few bolters / one Wolf Priest. I have a group of skitarii / sicarian ruststalkers, a trio of techpriests and a pair of electro priests that we use to form our Kill Teams and play... well, Kill Team.
That;s so cool. :)
You sum up the tragedy of being an Astartes who's entire being is focused towards warfare.

Assault Marines would make good lumberjacks I reckon. Especially the Blood Angels ones!
World eaters?
That is something that never even crossed my mind haha😂
Gathering lumber for the Emperor!
Just found your channel yesterday, really great work. thank you so much for your efforts
Mr baldermort, do you have a IG page?
I never expected to hear a space marine stay "skittles." That made me to laugh. I know in this case you're probably talking about the proto-bowling game, but I cackle at the image of a assault marine charging at the foe screaming: "Taste the Rainbow Xenos Filth!"
The only thing more fun than assault marines are a massed charge Khornate Berzerkers
'my chainsword proclaiming its hunger with each rev I begin to feed it' - such imagery.
"The Space Marine shall master all weapons and all battlefields! When harried, the Space Marine shall drive his enemies back! With Combat Knife, Boltgun and Grenade the Space Marine shall assail his foe, the Chainsword is the will of the Space Marine made manifest!"- Tactical Marine Sergeant Tarkus, of the Blood Ravens 4th Company
There is something very badass about a space marine with massive engines on his back, using a chainsword to tear enemies apart in melee.
I vaguely remember that melee combat also has more ritualistic value and is therefore more effective in fighting daemons.
Great video as always. Your voice is great to listen to and really helps me form an image in the great self-created stories you tell. They're the biggest highlight in your videos and really catch the essence of the subject. Keep up the great work!
Well said sir. The universe comes into a unique and appreciable focus inviting a deeper chroma when one attempts to imagine a deeper colour within the setting.
As a person who loves and respects the blade, melee is near and dear. Well done, Sir Baldermort:)
Thank you kindly!
My fav example of the assault squad is an extract from I think the 2nd edition Angels of Death codex with a Blood Angels assault squad ripping turncoats to shreds
By the Emperor, melee is the most honourable method of combat.
3:33 wait wait wait...they still have skittles in the grim dark future????? 38,000 years into the future, where there's nothing but death, suffering, and war...they still have skittles?!? 5 stars instant love this story lolol
I was wondering the same thing and LOLd when he said "skittlesssss." Adeptus skittlecus is the official skittles maker of the imperium.
Last time I was this early the Thunder Warriors were still Big E's main force . Thanks for the excellent video ! Also your explanation on the psychology of what the SM's go through was spot on and a subject that doesnt get enough attention compared to others discussing how Brave, Fearless, Strong, Disciplined they are.

I do hope the Blood Angels at least get the option to equip their Primaris Assault Intercessors with jump packs, Sanguinius' boys wouldn't quite be the same without the good old Descent of Angels maneuver.
You are not wrong my there, brother WizardJim. Despite me not wanting my first born deleted, I do look forward to new DC. Assault, new Sang guide. :)
It’s a shame that the Death Company Intercessors are sorely lacking melee wargear. At least they are a troops choice. Also I’d love to see Astorath &/or Dante get a new model primaris or not.
Ahhhhhh Descent of Angels.... I used it so many times that it feel like part of me.
Still loving this channel. I would like to hear more about the Guard. Especially gaunt's ghosts. Love those books.
At the time of writing, 3 sad souls were unmoved by the words of Sir Baldermort. I am glad to not be among those few, for I feel more connected to my Marines than before with each installment of Baldermort's videos.

I love these stories at the beginning. These videos are so over the top awesome.
Yep. The essence of warhammer. :).
Glorious work as always brother Baldermort the Emperor smiles Upon u this day many thanks yet again :)
By the Holy Emporer of mankind may there never be an end of warhammer 40k/fantasy material so that we will always have your videos to look forward to. You are the best!
*maniachal laughter as my chainsaw revs up* MUHAHAHAHA
good video as always brother
There’s the assault marines. But what about the apepper marines?
Phased out after the Great seasoning - the reckoning some called it. Alas, the resources for apepper squads is a lost art. :( :(.
The Achootes
@@Baldermort so, they got Squatted?
I wonder if there are any canonical loyalist chapters who specialize in brutal frontal assault, by using heavy vehicle and weaponry.
Iron Hands? Or Wolves when they feel like it. Their dreads. *shudders*
I agree with Baldermort. The overwhelming armored assault have been the Iron 10ths core tactic since very early in the Great Crusade. The Flesh is weak, so bring a Big Metal Tank!

Yes, I have fond memories of this exact scenario happening on the tabletop.
Carcharodons (Space Sharks)
Gotta use that chain sword for something besides cutting down trees
The angriest of all marines, the greatest of all chapters - the vaunted Angry Marines!
Now Grimdark did them so well and I think Majorkill has too? Lets let theirs cool off first eh? :)
Hit them hard and fast!
From Land, Sea, Air or Space, this have always been a core Spacemarine discipline.
Assault marine spam in dow, one of my favourite tactics. Akin to a flying mob beating the ketchup out of the xenos, heretic and traitor alike.
9:50 - to paraphraise:
"Deprived of the ability to f*ck, space marines' only outlet is to F*CK SH*T UP" - Marnaus Calgar
Will you ever talk about Captain Titus of the 40K Space Marine game? He's one of my favorite Marines who i hope will make a return soon
Nice, the epitome of RIP AND TEAR
My favorite troop choice.
Even the old "Death From Above" is taken to new heights in Warhammer 40k! All hail the grimdark!
Gotta love it, brother Blair. :)
There needs to be a Space Marine phalanx formation. Nah, go big or go home, there needs to be a Terminator armor phalanx, for cleaning out space hulks and the like, with chainsaws on the end of huge pikes and overlapping shields.

Lol. Sooooo true. 8th has been rough. Potentially good, but actually not? Hoping that the good things of 9th will bring them back into the game. :).
Up close and personal combat my kind of Adeptus Astrates!!
Best 40k lore channel on YT.
And another awesome one!!! I'll have you know Sir Baldermort, I make time for fun everyday...
Please do! :) :)
Genetically engineered super soldiers with jet packs and chainsaw swords? What’s not to like?
assault marines: most angry marines of the astartes.
ork stormboyz: most trained and disciplined of the orks (with the expectation to commandoz).
Brother Baldermort's tongue cuts through the dross like a chainsaw ... ennnnnd QUOTE! It's a cruel world.
Astonishingly kind and generous of you, as always, brother Silva. Thank you. :).
@@Baldermort The pleasure is all mine - most enjoyable in my dotage to hear inspired stories about my old hobby.
New video, you saved my Day.
Tremble before His majesty,

It would be epic if you can voice one of the characters on Alfabusa’s TTS series
They did a colab on the Kreig video I think. It would be fun to see Baldy let his metaphorical hair down though.
I've not used my poor assault marines in 8th that much; here's hoping that 9th is kinder to both them and vehicles. :)
Well, done as always, Brother Balders. For Rogal!
It’s been rough using them in 8th. 9th is looking more hopeful if they don’t legends all firstborn. Shudders.

Hi brother Skill. :). Thanks. Community effort though. :). Not sure I know what you mean brother. ;).

Did I hear you rightly?
How did I not yet come across something sounding so grimly FUKN METAL! So darkly EPIK! in this Universe?
And I've been lore-loading WH40k, literally binging, *since before CORONA wasn't just a brand of beer!!*
First week of March, anyway, lol.
I must take my leave of you, now.

Own up who is the dislikes? Grand pappy baldy is the good guy of warhammer, I’d love to hear what makes people dislike a video.
Another great video brother
Thanks brother Wolves. :).
Baldermort never ever disappoints
Not once, not for a second does he for he is exceptional
May the empowers light always shine upon him
Good upload scedule. You upload me sleeps. Blody briliant

I need some advice, I've never really used assault squads in my army as I've alway preferred devastators, but I am close to completing my company (only taken 20+ years) and after watching this video and hearing the passion in your voice I want to know if I should get old school assault marines or wait for the primaris ones? I'm veered towards old school as they seem more versatile but advice would be welcome
I would go with the Primaris assault marines mainly because of size and more details on the models but also 2 wounds!
Assualting with massive unwieldy meele weapons or advancing with utter insane walls of firepower is why I love playing chaos marines, like with orks (which I also love playing with) you either win big or loose big, but what ever happens it's never dull.
That plus I love to customise and for me orks and chaos marines are just so great for doing just that, at least for me anyway.
3:36 like skittles? they do seem to be angry marines...
Taking advantage of transhuman dread is a useful tactic indeed
HORUS!
*Charges in with a giant hammer that is waiting to pancake whatever it hits.*
I had no idea that skittles survived into the 41st millennium.
My favorite flavour of marines.
**Laughs in Flesh Tearers**
"Adorable."
Please do the minotaurs chapter! In my head cannon, they are thunder warriors with world eater and iron warrior astartes geneseed, they are one of the most brutal Chapters!
I love your narration. Thank you so much
Thank you for another great video!! Brother Baldemort you are perfecting your craft, applying for a Librarian I see
super looking forward to the 9th Edtion with all unit overwatch being a thing of the past it makes melee armies particularly fun
Combat's back baby!
I love me some melee!
Aye brother Popa, I love me assault marines. :) :)
Awesome video, thank you. :)
Glad you liked it! Brother. :)
Assault squads are so cool! You only need to read a fraction of the lore to imagine them crashing into enemies. Crushing them with brutal weaponry!
Loved it
Thanks brother Rocky. :).
I just wish they were s little less squishy and had another attack
I dont need sleep I need baldermort!
Another incredible video! Loved this!!
