Oh my golly gosh, 17 minute video for the 17 year long siege :O Also this video is a SUPER abridged version of the story and touches on the key points, I'd recommend reading the imperial armor books that feature the siege. I think 3-5? They're pretty cool. Thanks for watching!
Zuehlke - yeah pronunciation was like really good. You'd pronounce the ue like the y in sympathy or symptom if you want to pronounce the Z like a German, treat it like a Ts Tsyl keh But i assume its more the American style which is a soft S - syl keh
Another thing I like about this battle is that the Alpha Legion were building this carefully constructed well, disciplined chaos force, and then as soon soon as the world eaters show up, they ruin everything and destroy all the discipline in the ranks that the Legion had been building by turning them into bloodthirsty maniacs who don’t care about their own safety.
@@ethantaylor9613 lol, and then a world eater of all people starts a coup and reorganizes their force for the final stretch. Lots of crazy moments in this siege. Thanks for watching!
@@KrakDuk there are a few world eaters that really know what they’re doing and remember that Khorne is supposed to be a god of war which does include strategy, they just aren’t the ones in charge most of the time regrettably.
I absolutely love how little the dark angels sucsessors actually helped, they show up, fight, one sort of out-of-the-way battle in a place that isn’t actually that strategically that important, gather information about the fallen, immediately leave. Perfect hater behavior.
Such babies. All my homies hate the dark Angels. Wahh wahhh fallen. Daddy came back just to tell them to not hunt fallen anymore, my favorite punishment for weenie hut jr haters that are the dark angels
@@ethantaylor9613 typical 40K dark angel behavior. The interesting thing is that I think the lion would condemn this behavior so it could be interesting to see if they do anything significant with that now that he’s awake. Thanks for watching!
@@KrakDuk i’m sure it will be more typical poorly constructed faff if the past six years of new fluff is anything to go by, I know that’s a bit negative, but I have a death watch army in my house that’s now 80% unusable so I think I’m entitled to feel how I want.
@@KrakDuk it has added something if interest to them so hopefully we see some very tense moments and maybe even a fallout. It would be funny if they thought Lion was false and thought HE was a fallen of all people
A funny thing about that it's that the alpha legion "infiltrated" and bypassed the imperial blockade by passing as loyalist. "Yeah, yeah, we are reinforcements, let us through"
I'm still adamant about the Alpha Legion pulling a parent trap by switching Azrael for -Alpharius- _Azrael_ at the starport after baiting the green heretics there.

Fun fact the Azrael that was the supreme grand master during the siege of vraks is not the same Azrael that is current supreme grand master of the dark angels, the dark angels have had 2 chapter masters named Azrael in its life time
@@RMCbreezyi for one would rather have them repeat names than for them to eventually have a supreme grand master named “Apple Rose” which is where getting creative with names eventually goes

@@kubastachowiak1089 TRUE. Vraks does have a lot of 40K staples, probably because it was one of the first in depth battles (unless I’m mistaken) and inspired others. Thanks for watching!
@@KrakDuk always a pleasure ^^ - I'm polish and there is this dude who covers 40 lore and has almost 70 episodes on reading about Vraks and its amazing xD
Loved this abbridged video! If anyone wants a really in depth series about the siege, Janovich has an enormous playlist where he goes over like every detail of the history of the war
I may be wrong, but I had heard that it was the cardinal that used the chemical weapons while the guard fought DG, they had a bunch stockpiled in the city.

The Siege of Vraks novel has what may be my favorite 40k quotes due to the context. "Run. Run as fast as you can and stop for no one. Save yourselves if you can. Don't die for nothing." - Death Korps of Krieg Veteran Colonel Tyborc. His Commissar ran with him.
This video is fantastic, for example Zi never knew the Alpha legion was involved in this siege. I thought it was the thousand sons for some reason. Also I didn't know death guard were involved in this either.
Vraks. This name alone makes me nostalgic. It was mostly a topic of things I first saw online when I started searching for more 40k stuff after "40k Dawn of war" came out. Thx for the video!

ive been watching through your videos the past couple days and i gotta say you have some of the best jokes ive seen from 40k videos. you do the perfect amount of ongoing and call back jokes the woooo after a badass dual was so hilarious
Im still relatively new to 40k so im learning all the time. I did have to double check that Hector Rex wasnt actually a dinosaur. I mean this universe is wild man i couldnt rule it out...
I still can't get my head wrapped around to the fact that the Khorne berserkers Fked off and the Handful Alpharius stayed to fight till the end (Captured)
i love all the memes - very clever and the woooo-ing looking up milhouse, mcdonads marines, rock the dwyane johnson this is a very fun video and I can tell Krak Duk had fun making and writing it eh nice job eh friendo
A friend offered me an Ork army in 2017. I had no idea what 40k was so I turned him down. Your channel randomly popped up on my feed now I desperately want to PAINT SOME MINIs! Thanks for explaining this massive world to a newbie.
Everytime I watch these I imagin KrakDuk is a History nerd Gaurdsman that is trapped in a trench with other guardsman trying to pass the time so they tell everyone around them about that they know.
The idea of the Alpha Legion promoting Toxic Masculinity and Andrew Tate suddenly drops them to Erebus level of hateable. Awesome video, love how unhinged your Dark Angels are.

I mean his drawing and humor are worthwhile to those who do as well

Man I wish I can watch this video but I'm still waiting for Janovich to finish his videos on it
It is so close, I can't wait
Its finished
Always love when Mr. One of the most if not the Most uploads

Oh gosh im very late but
i think this was one of the best if not the best videos krakduk has made
This is the shortest lore video for 40k I've seen so the length is fine

Guide for KrakDuk to pronounce words:
Parcticularly = PAR-tic-you-lar-lee

Margaret is a robin??? Always thought she was a cardinal. Wild revelation for a Warhammer video
This man is getting better and better with every video
@@Plonom thank you! Glad you liked it
laughed my ass off at the Korp/Corpse joke
That smiling friends meme was *chefs kiss*
Bro your telling me the Death Korps AND Alpha Legion are here. This is the best thing ever.
God bless the “everything’s coming up Milhouse!” reference
I love how you draw the dark angels coming to Vraks on "the Rock" xD
Dude your videos have become so much fun ❤️
The siege of Vraks is perfect PTSD material for everyone except the kriegsmen.
The death guard had Taco Bell right before the attack. That’s why the McDonald’s marines were sent to remove fast food competition.
Female cardinals are brown! So Margret wouldn’t be red if she was a cardinal
Siege of Cracks
i jsut finished that book (The Siege of Vraks by Steve Lyons also no not the baseball player) a few days ago and i really enjoyed it

Im still relatively new to 40k so im learning all the time.
I did have to double check that Hector Rex wasnt actually a dinosaur.
I mean this universe is wild man i couldnt rule it out...
That was fun video the Dark Angels getting bitches-I mean spaceport or there's two different Angry Demons.

this is a very fun video
and I can tell Krak Duk had fun making and writing it eh
nice job eh friendo
