@@relaetsecyr i think there is a video from 40k theories that space sharks are either ravenguard nightlords or possibly worldeater or even mixed ravenguard and nightlord gene seed i believe that from there brutal nature that there either mixed ravenguard and nightlord but more towards the nightlord; since even a nightlord marine realized that the space sharks are very similar to that of the nightlords in all but color scheme and name.
I like th idea of the sharks being nightlords. It fits a lot more on the writing side of things. They are a brutal wrapon of fear and leave an impact. They just gotta keep moving like a shark. This to me feels in line with curz who just kept going towards a surtain future. The sharks being brutal terror, and dread from the darkness; but blind to what they leave behind. It seems fitting that is what killed curz, lookinh back
@@timvanrijn8239 in 30k the night lord did have a Raven Guard member called “The raven”. Alastor Rushal, known as The Raven, was a member of the Night Lords during the Horus Heresy. Originally a member of the Raven Guard, Rushal either defected to the Night Lords or was captured by them after the events of the Drop Site Massacre. Regardless of his reason for joining the legion he was subjected to torture and had his tongue removed. Still wearing the armor of the Raven Guard, Rushal became a high-ranking member of the Legion and a member of the Kyroptera despite leading no forces of his own. Rushal became a close ally to Sevatar in the power struggle that erupted within the Night Lords following Konrad Curze's crippling in the Thramas Crusade.

This is no Cadia, but damn did the Tyrant made it a close second. This entire mess of a war could only be generous be considered a clusterfuck for both the loyalists and secessionists.

Ah, looks like there will be a shiny new chaos warband for the Badab sector to contend with going forward. :) But hey, the Loyalists did it! They achieved their goals! Especially the Carcharodons. :) :) :)
@@BR-dy1ie does anyone remember why all this shit started in the first place I think it had something do with a lady trying to pay her taxes or something.
Vengence Station, one week later: The command staff of the Salamanders, Red Scorpions, Sons of Medusa, Star Phantoms, Fire Hawks and Raptors sit glaring at the Chapter Master of Charcaradons as he plays what is clearly a video game on his data slate. Tyberos glances up long enough to notice the glares of his fellow astartes; "...what?"
Holy shit, melting half the hive with a plasma destructor... Tyberos saw what Fire Hawks did and didn't want to be outdone. Whoa, guess they thought it wasn't enough so they upped the plasma heat...
What he received for his ambitions, for his loyalty, for his ever dying devotion for the imperium is a knife to the gut. This is why the imperium is load of croak and needs to be die as it is the reflection of its ruler, a rotting skeleton on a golden throne. What Huron Blackheart truly received from this is the ever lasting pain from the last shot he received and an undying hatred for the Imperium he so dearly loved. And so, he will give them the attention they want, by ransacking them over and over again and making them fear him as they don the red armour of the blood of their fallen brothers from the betrayal of this so called Imperium and they will survive for the Astral Claws is no more, for they will be now known as the Red Corsairs and if they could not live in honor, they will rule in hell.
@@PodreyJenkin138 I'unno... ambition is the reason the Imperium exists in the ifrst place. Blaming people for having ambition seems a bit of a dullard's move. If anything, it shows you " Imperium = Not at all the good guys. " " Chaos? Not good guys either. If you're defending either side as if they're your political views or whatever, you're an idiot if you truly are seriously going to die on the hill of either side being not objectively evil. " ... Really, both sides are monsters. Just different kinds. Huron didn't want to become another limb of a monster that grinds people against an ever growing wall of chaos spawn. Honestly, the Imperium would have to eventually figure something out to beat back chaos considering the galaxy itself gets split in half with the fall of Cadia, which puts half the galaxy in the " You're fucked. " zone and half of them in " The Emperor is still here, but chaos still has the tip inside. " zone. Welcome to Warhammer. Nobody is objectively right, or wrong. It's all shades of gray and trying to say one of them is right or wrong in their actions is a bit dense. Think the only ones objectively wrong are people like rapists and the like on hive worlds, etc. that get turned into servitors, or penal legionnaires. Even Lorgar thought he was doing something good when he preached about Big E... gotta remember that stuff. All the heroes and good guys in their own stories, just like how you justify your own thoughts and opinions.
@@PodreyJenkin138 Certainly, trying to invade a warp storm is outlandish, but the high lords time and again, instead of explaining the reasoning of why not, they decided to be their usual, petty, corrupt selves. And whether he invaded or not, Huron still did *need* either more resources, or another space marine chapter to properly defend the zone. And again, the petty, corrupt high lords denied him both, time and time again. Huron was in the right, and the inquisition, even more petty and corrupt, fucked him over and drove him to madness.
@@mikealvasyou said it in the first line; that is the price of ambition - ask horus 😉 huron was not blameless in his fall, he may have been pushed to the edge but he’s the one that chose to jump into the abyss.
"When an enormous force of seemingly-loyal Imperial bodies engages in brutal slaughter with another enormous force of seemingly-loyal Imperial bodies, who wins?" "Khorne."
Space Sharks running away from a hive city they rigged to go nuclear. Space Sharks. Running. Away. I'd have been on the first transporter out of there and back to Holy Terra in a heartbeat when I heard that they were running. Fuuuuck that, I'm not sticking around to find out what would make those lunatics flee.
Kriegsman: "gee, a weapon that fired once and turned a giant curtain wall and its surrounding into molten slag? This could have been one handy approach back on Vraks could it not?"
Somewhere deep within the warp, the distinct laughter of spirit of the Night Haunter echoes. His wayward loyalist children performing up and beyond of any expectations...
The whole "remove a piece of a star" thing reminds me of Star Control 2, except when they did it in that game it was with the purpose of denying the enemy a victory by sacrificing themselves by immolation; the sun flared and enemy fleets were vaporized at the cost of ravaging the entire system and anihilation of the defenders.
Stibor Lazaerek, his nose still bleeding from snorting incense: "Why don't we throw a sun at it?" Carab Culln: "We can do that?" Archmagos of Angstrom: **Happy Beeping**
So... I have a question to the lore experts. How on Terra the new Warders are going to defend the Maelstrom Zone with most of it's defences being utterly destroyed. It's like a giant "raid me please" sign to the pirates. Also Huron can come back with some friends. And he knows this place like no one else.
Youre assuming they thought that far ahead 😜 The administratum was hardly interested in providing the resources needed by the warders to secure the region in the first place. They only cared about getting the goodies. Thats what sets the whole shit show rolling. I dont see that attitude changing with the new warders
@@markcoroneos7811 really? I though all of this was because an arrogant prick who already got away with breaking several imperial rules couldn't take "no" as an answer to his mad project of conquering places where literal hell leaks into reality. Had he backed and said ok, the zone would still be his, and secured. Not denying the imperial faults here, but Huron is FAR from innocent
@@hasunoushasu9710 i think alot of hurons downfall would have been avoided had they been sent an extra fleet or two. Huron made an extreme response to the extreme bullshit the imperium was throwing at the warders.
Thank for this series. It is a much better rendition of the story than we typically get. Usually the loyalists bring their 5 chapters or whatever and steam roll until The Badab War is over. This portrayed the struggle and effort it took better than any other version.
- Quick recap: Alfa objective- take the station from inside, Third objective take the tyrant to justice and the carcharadons on the beta objective... well do what you do best Carcharadons: WE SMASHHHH -Yes you smash...
I still think Lufgt Huron was, originally, in the right. If the Imperium had just sent him more chapters to clean up the Maelstrom zone, he wouldn't have had to hereticaly bolster his own past the arbitrary 1000 Astarte limit.
He was trying to invade a Warp Storm. It wouldn't take much from the Chaos Gods to mess up whatever gains Huron got. The Imperium could have been more diplomatic about it but his ideas were highly unrealistic.
HubiKoshi Having a highly centralized space empire filled with Trillions of humans that all roughly fight for a similar goal via a labyrinthine beuracracy is also highly unrealistic. Why not go for gold?
@@BR-dy1ie By unrealistic I meant "within the logic of WH40k". Everyone (in the know about Chaos) in that world understands that trying to build a house in a warp storm will almost certainly result in getting ass-raped by daemons.
@@BR-dy1ie it's literally not highly centralised, thats kinda the whole point, the high lords and the actual heads of the imperium dont give two fucks about anything as long as the empires borders stay roughly the same and the tithe fleets still arrive on time
Bro arch I recently started watching your videos with the siege of vrask and loved your voice and articulation of words you tell stories in an amazing way thanks
Literally everyone: "ATTAAAACK!!!" Carcharodons: "Ehm... I would run if I were you." Literally everyone else: *visible confusion and panic ensues* Planet: *explodes* You know that sh*t has really hit the fan when the crazy ones become the voices of caution and reason.
Other Loyalist chapters: Wow! Thanks for taking down the palace’s void shields, that was a great plan! Carcharadons: What plan? *Distant sound of entire hive city being incinerated in a single blast*
Raven Guard Legion Successors - “Sneeki Beekie” Carcharodons - “hey guys! You remember those Terrans Corax sent into exile? Well we’ve met them and adopted their way of fighting... so please... stand aside”
@@PodreyJenkin138 no it’s revealed in the newest of the Carcharodons books (Outer Dark) that Corax’s Exiles (the Ashen Claws) are still around however now consider themselves independent/black shields. They saw Corax as a Tyrant who wanted to just have em all killed - which ain’t entirely wrong - but they couldn’t side themselves with the Warmaster either so chose independence. The Carcharodons are shown to know them and share gene-seed with them in acceptance of pure gene-seed to be sent off to the Mechanicus/for new recruits. It’s also kind of hinted at that much of the Ashen Claws and Carcharodons may have a wider verity of gene-seeds amongst there ranks - this may be due to how the Ashen Claws were noted to take not just armour but traitor gene-seed during the heresy to keep up their numbers/supplies. So the Carcharodons being traded some of this gene-seed may mean they have a mix.
I think a good moral for this story and a lot of 40K stories is that if you betray the Imperium even if you think that you're winning at first the Imperium always has enough manpower and resources to slowly push you back until you're nothing
Unless you happen to be the Tau, then the imperium will throw maybe 6 or 7 Imperial Guard regiments and if you’re lucky a couple Space Marine chapters at you. Then they will proceed to make the stupidest choices possible for the majority of the conflict and then leave, shaking their fists in vengeance that never comes.
Carab Culln: It’s over, it’s finally Fucking over! The war for Badab is finished. Now, who has Lufgt Huron’s head? Salamanders: Not me. Charcharadons: not me. Star Phantoms: not me. Exorcist: not me. Minotaurs: not me. Red Scorpions: not me either. All Loyalists Space Marines: (SIGH...)
Shhh...you guys hear that? Thats Guileman shouting out in frustration when he finishes reading the Badab report. Only Primarchs can groan so loud it travels back 39 Millennia.
I think Cullen not so secretly held a grudge against Huron swiping a chaos power claw through his side so in turn unleashed the sharks upon the planet and the palace which had once been the Tyrants pride. Although, Carab probably didn't count on just how thoroughly the Carcharadons would avenge the scarification of his side.
Of course they couldn't bombard the palace of thorns and be sure that the Huron was dead... That's what you get for bringing a Space Marine to do the job a Krieger...

24:06 so...was it ever on the table to not murder every single one of them..? I understood it as the fierce resistance was precisely because the Tyrant's guards knew there would be no mercy so there was no point in surrendering?
It's been quite the journey and I can tell Arch worked very hard to make sure he at least had this series at the same level as the Siege of Vraks series he did. Now for the aftermath.
Fire hawks: Ha after our attack on the ring of steel we'll be forever known as the most reckless, destructive and most causally disregarding of civilian life out of all astartes chapters!!! Carcharodons: hold my beer
I'd love to see a TTS style parody where when all the dust had settled, the inquisition declares "hmmmm yes. The warders were in fact able to secure the zone. Carry on Huron. This concludes the invasion test/war game."
One last rant on the Space Shark's failure to take the hive city quickly, after half of it was literally turned into molten slag. This really makes me want to know if Huron literally looked at some human with a blank face and said, "okay just call this a what if situation, if HALF YOUR CITY is a volcano, here's how you can piss off Astartes and Titans with your defenses."
When the ‘Flesh is weak’ boys, and the ‘murder you faster than you can call us traitor’ boys are one of the only chapters who seem humane in this conflict.
"Hey Corax, why did you banish huge chunks of your sons to patrol an area literally outside the galaxy?" *glances over at the smoldering remains of Badab* "Because they are absolute lunatics."
For some reason, this image just made me laugh: After a disastrous first day of repelled assaults, all military commanders & chapter masters gather to process their losses and prepare for the revisions in their assault plans. Suddenly, “Hey! Aren’t the Charcharadons supposed to be here too?” “You’re right, I haven’t seen them at all!” _~Meanwhile, miles away, and completely oblivious of everyone else’s withdrawal~_ *”RIP AND TEAR!!!”* _~Back at HQ~_ “… Meh, I think they’ll be fine.”
Carcharadons are absolute chads. other loyalists: "troop landing is going to rough for them" Carcharadons: * vaporizes half the hive city * loyalists: "oh, nevermind"
An Infinite Victory for the Imperium of Man against the Imperium of Man! Total Victory for the Loyalists against the Loyalists! The Ruinous Powers are Infinitely Proud of the God Emperor's Most HOLEY INQUISITION and their Inquisitor Warmaster!

@@relaetsecyr I know, I was but joking. Still, I think this would be more poinient if it was Deliverance, instead of Badab.
@@relaetsecyr i think there is a video from 40k theories that space sharks are either ravenguard nightlords or possibly worldeater or even mixed ravenguard and nightlord gene seed i believe that from there brutal nature that there either mixed ravenguard and nightlord but more towards the nightlord; since even a nightlord marine realized that the space sharks are very similar to that of the nightlords in all but color scheme and name.
I like th idea of the sharks being nightlords. It fits a lot more on the writing side of things. They are a brutal wrapon of fear and leave an impact.
They just gotta keep moving like a shark. This to me feels in line with curz who just kept going towards a surtain future. The sharks being brutal terror, and dread from the darkness; but blind to what they leave behind. It seems fitting that is what killed curz, lookinh back
@@timvanrijn8239 in 30k the night lord did have a Raven Guard member called “The raven”. Alastor Rushal, known as The Raven, was a member of the Night Lords during the Horus Heresy.
Originally a member of the Raven Guard, Rushal either defected to the Night Lords or was captured by them after the events of the Drop Site Massacre. Regardless of his reason for joining the legion he was subjected to torture and had his tongue removed. Still wearing the armor of the Raven Guard, Rushal became a high-ranking member of the Legion and a member of the Kyroptera despite leading no forces of his own. Rushal became a close ally to Sevatar in the power struggle that erupted within the Night Lords following Konrad Curze's crippling in the Thramas Crusade.

They achieved the goal of...what was this war over again? Taxes? I wonder how they’ll get taxes from this sector of space now

Vengence Station, one week later:
The command staff of the Salamanders, Red Scorpions, Sons of Medusa, Star Phantoms, Fire Hawks and Raptors sit glaring at the Chapter Master of Charcaradons as he plays what is clearly a video game on his data slate.
Tyberos glances up long enough to notice the glares of his fellow astartes;
"...what?"
Holy shit, melting half the hive with a plasma destructor... Tyberos saw what Fire Hawks did and didn't want to be outdone.
Whoa, guess they thought it wasn't enough so they upped the plasma heat...
So that was one crazy story of the Imperium screwing itself over. Good job, future humans!
Yeah we always find a way to muck up a good thing in the name of greed, power or pride! Good times !
The black heart lost everything his honor, his empire, his legacy, and the emperor's love. With nothing left it's no wonder what happened to him.
What he received for his ambitions, for his loyalty, for his ever dying devotion for the imperium is a knife to the gut. This is why the imperium is load of croak and needs to be die as it is the reflection of its ruler, a rotting skeleton on a golden throne.
What Huron Blackheart truly received from this is the ever lasting pain from the last shot he received and an undying hatred for the Imperium he so dearly loved. And so, he will give them the attention they want, by ransacking them over and over again and making them fear him as they don the red armour of the blood of their fallen brothers from the betrayal of this so called Imperium and they will survive for the Astral Claws is no more, for they will be now known as the Red Corsairs and if they could not live in honor, they will rule in hell.
There is no Astral Claws. Such a chapter neve existed. There is only the Red Corsairs.
@@PodreyJenkin138 I'unno... ambition is the reason the Imperium exists in the ifrst place. Blaming people for having ambition seems a bit of a dullard's move. If anything, it shows you " Imperium = Not at all the good guys. " " Chaos? Not good guys either. If you're defending either side as if they're your political views or whatever, you're an idiot if you truly are seriously going to die on the hill of either side being not objectively evil. " ... Really, both sides are monsters. Just different kinds. Huron didn't want to become another limb of a monster that grinds people against an ever growing wall of chaos spawn.
Honestly, the Imperium would have to eventually figure something out to beat back chaos considering the galaxy itself gets split in half with the fall of Cadia, which puts half the galaxy in the " You're fucked. " zone and half of them in " The Emperor is still here, but chaos still has the tip inside. " zone. Welcome to Warhammer. Nobody is objectively right, or wrong. It's all shades of gray and trying to say one of them is right or wrong in their actions is a bit dense. Think the only ones objectively wrong are people like rapists and the like on hive worlds, etc. that get turned into servitors, or penal legionnaires. Even Lorgar thought he was doing something good when he preached about Big E... gotta remember that stuff. All the heroes and good guys in their own stories, just like how you justify your own thoughts and opinions.
@@PodreyJenkin138 Certainly, trying to invade a warp storm is outlandish, but the high lords time and again, instead of explaining the reasoning of why not, they decided to be their usual, petty, corrupt selves.
And whether he invaded or not, Huron still did *need* either more resources, or another space marine chapter to properly defend the zone.
And again, the petty, corrupt high lords denied him both, time and time again.
Huron was in the right, and the inquisition, even more petty and corrupt, fucked him over and drove him to madness.
@@mikealvasyou said it in the first line; that is the price of ambition - ask horus 😉 huron was not blameless in his fall, he may have been pushed to the edge but he’s the one that chose to jump into the abyss.

Space Sharks. Running. Away.
I'd have been on the first transporter out of there and back to Holy Terra in a heartbeat when I heard that they were running. Fuuuuck that, I'm not sticking around to find out what would make those lunatics flee.
Kriegsman: "gee, a weapon that fired once and turned a giant curtain wall and its surrounding into molten slag? This could have been one handy approach back on Vraks could it not?"
Somewhere deep within the warp, the distinct laughter of spirit of the Night Haunter echoes. His wayward loyalist children performing up and beyond of any expectations...
The whole "remove a piece of a star" thing reminds me of Star Control 2, except when they did it in that game it was with the purpose of denying the enemy a victory by sacrificing themselves by immolation; the sun flared and enemy fleets were vaporized at the cost of ravaging the entire system and anihilation of the defenders.
Wow, the Carcharodons really went "How do we make a mess worse than the Inquisition can cause?"

Where are the toasters you promised us?
So... I have a question to the lore experts. How on Terra the new Warders are going to defend the Maelstrom Zone with most of it's defences being utterly destroyed. It's like a giant "raid me please" sign to the pirates. Also Huron can come back with some friends. And he knows this place like no one else.
Youre assuming they thought that far ahead 😜
The administratum was hardly interested in providing the resources needed by the warders to secure the region in the first place. They only cared about getting the goodies. Thats what sets the whole shit show rolling. I dont see that attitude changing with the new warders
@@markcoroneos7811 Well, good luck getting those resources now!
The Zone is now redistricting into different areas. Most of them off limits.
@@markcoroneos7811 really? I though all of this was because an arrogant prick who already got away with breaking several imperial rules couldn't take "no" as an answer to his mad project of conquering places where literal hell leaks into reality.
Had he backed and said ok, the zone would still be his, and secured.
Not denying the imperial faults here, but Huron is FAR from innocent
@@hasunoushasu9710 i think alot of hurons downfall would have been avoided had they been sent an extra fleet or two. Huron made an extreme response to the extreme bullshit the imperium was throwing at the warders.
This series has really fleshed out some chapters for me and certainly the events of the war. Very cool.
the best warhammer 40k lore around, right here boys and girls.
Thank for this series. It is a much better rendition of the story than we typically get. Usually the loyalists bring their 5 chapters or whatever and steam roll until The Badab War is over. This portrayed the struggle and effort it took better than any other version.
- Quick recap: Alfa objective- take the station from inside, Third objective take the tyrant to justice and the carcharadons on the beta objective... well do what you do best
Carcharadons: WE SMASHHHH
-Yes you smash...
May I recommend using, Primary Objective > Secondary Objective > Tertiary Objective.
And yes, smash good!
@@YiotisTheGnome that would be wrong. We need third, not secondary. Which would be Gamma.
@@owlsayssouth Indeed. I did read it wrong. My mind went to Primary / Side objectives rather than assigning teams to different objectives.
@@YiotisTheGnome it's fine. Everyone uses tertiary after work because I guess everyone forgets gamma.
@@YiotisTheGnome it is all to encrypt the data in case any alfa legion is hearing on the other side of the wall for some twisted plot reason
I still think Lufgt Huron was, originally, in the right. If the Imperium had just sent him more chapters to clean up the Maelstrom zone, he wouldn't have had to hereticaly bolster his own past the arbitrary 1000 Astarte limit.
He was trying to invade a Warp Storm. It wouldn't take much from the Chaos Gods to mess up whatever gains Huron got. The Imperium could have been more diplomatic about it but his ideas were highly unrealistic.
HubiKoshi Having a highly centralized space empire filled with Trillions of humans that all roughly fight for a similar goal via a labyrinthine beuracracy is also highly unrealistic. Why not go for gold?
@@BR-dy1ie By unrealistic I meant "within the logic of WH40k". Everyone (in the know about Chaos) in that world understands that trying to build a house in a warp storm will almost certainly result in getting ass-raped by daemons.
@@BR-dy1ie it's literally not highly centralised, thats kinda the whole point, the high lords and the actual heads of the imperium dont give two fucks about anything as long as the empires borders stay roughly the same and the tithe fleets still arrive on time
@@mitchell3593power is highly centralized to terra
Bro arch I recently started watching your videos with the siege of vrask and loved your voice and articulation of words you tell stories in an amazing way thanks
Thank you Arch, this has been one of my favorite series you done. Huron puts Failbadon to shame as a villian.
Literally everyone: "ATTAAAACK!!!"
Carcharodons: "Ehm... I would run if I were you."
Literally everyone else: *visible confusion and panic ensues*
Planet: *explodes*
You know that sh*t has really hit the fan when the crazy ones become the voices of caution and reason.
"You cant just destroy a whole planet whenever you want"
"TO HELL I CANT!!!!"
Other Loyalist chapters: Wow! Thanks for taking down the palace’s void shields, that was a great plan!
Carcharadons: What plan?
*Distant sound of entire hive city being incinerated in a single blast*
Raven Guard Legion Successors - “Sneeki Beekie”
Carcharodons - “hey guys! You remember those Terrans Corax sent into exile? Well we’ve met them and adopted their way of fighting... so please... stand aside”
@@PodreyJenkin138 no it’s revealed in the newest of the Carcharodons books (Outer Dark) that Corax’s Exiles (the Ashen Claws) are still around however now consider themselves independent/black shields.
They saw Corax as a Tyrant who wanted to just have em all killed - which ain’t entirely wrong - but they couldn’t side themselves with the Warmaster either so chose independence.
The Carcharodons are shown to know them and share gene-seed with them in acceptance of pure gene-seed to be sent off to the Mechanicus/for new recruits.
It’s also kind of hinted at that much of the Ashen Claws and Carcharodons may have a wider verity of gene-seeds amongst there ranks - this may be due to how the Ashen Claws were noted to take not just armour but traitor gene-seed during the heresy to keep up their numbers/supplies. So the Carcharodons being traded some of this gene-seed may mean they have a mix.
I think a good moral for this story and a lot of 40K stories is that if you betray the Imperium even if you think that you're winning at first the Imperium always has enough manpower and resources to slowly push you back until you're nothing
Another moral is that Ordo Hereticus will fuck up everything that it touches without fail, without exception.
Unless you happen to be the Tau, then the imperium will throw maybe 6 or 7 Imperial Guard regiments and if you’re lucky a couple Space Marine chapters at you. Then they will proceed to make the stupidest choices possible for the majority of the conflict and then leave, shaking their fists in vengeance that never comes.
Carab Culln: It’s over, it’s finally Fucking over! The war for Badab is finished. Now, who has Lufgt Huron’s head?

“‘Fiery, but mostly peaceful’ protests”
- Carcharodon News Network
Underrated comment.
Protests?
No man these were purging the "naughtsees", but in a 🔥Mostly 🔥Peaceful 🔥 way.
Note to self: Never, ever put Carcharadons near a hive city version of a nuclear reactor or extarminatus weaponry.
Shhh...you guys hear that?
Thats Guileman shouting out in frustration when he finishes reading the Badab report.
Only Primarchs can groan so loud it travels back 39 Millennia.
I think Cullen not so secretly held a grudge against Huron swiping a chaos power claw through his side so in turn unleashed the sharks upon the planet and the palace which had once been the Tyrants pride. Although, Carab probably didn't count on just how thoroughly the Carcharadons would avenge the scarification of his side.
Hey, the ground holding roads cites, forts, etc, can be consedered an infraestructure too
We didn't target any innocents.
We just destroyed buildings, roads, and foliage that may be used by the enemy.
Of course they couldn't bombard the palace of thorns and be sure that the Huron was dead... That's what you get for bringing a Space Marine to do the job a Krieger...
You want logistics? Join the Astra Miliatarum.
Tyrant's Legion make due.
18:00 I was expecting that they would ram the hive, and then all khorne on the hive
38:50 Was not expecting something like that. Space marines dying like guardsmen
52:00 No kill like overkill
57:00 Well maybe to mutch overkill, was not expecting to see a cadia again, I wonder how many space marines were "truly" lost. as in not having their gen seed recovered
Loyalists: All Right Tyberos, your chapter is to attack Hive Dominus, do what you need to in order to ensure that the anti-aircraft batteries don't kill half your chapter
Tyberos, on the bridge of the Nicor: *IMMA FIRIN' MA LASA!!!!!* *SLAMS FOREHEAD INTO FIRE BUTTON*
tyrants legion: exists
charcharodons: and it took that personally
24:06 so...was it ever on the table to not murder every single one of them..? I understood it as the fierce resistance was precisely because the Tyrant's guards knew there would be no mercy so there was no point in surrendering?
It's been quite the journey and I can tell Arch worked very hard to make sure he at least had this series at the same level as the Siege of Vraks series he did.
Now for the aftermath.
Fire hawks: Ha after our attack on the ring of steel we'll be forever known as the most reckless, destructive and most causally disregarding of civilian life out of all astartes chapters!!!
Carcharodons: hold my beer
Man! That artwork of Huron is fire AF!
Gotta give it to the Shark Bois, they know how to make an impression, not to mention a crater, or mass grave or a boiling mass of molten slag.
I'd love to see a TTS style parody where when all the dust had settled, the inquisition declares "hmmmm yes. The warders were in fact able to secure the zone. Carry on Huron. This concludes the invasion test/war game."
One last rant on the Space Shark's failure to take the hive city quickly, after half of it was literally turned into molten slag.
This really makes me want to know if Huron literally looked at some human with a blank face and said,
"okay just call this a what if situation, if HALF YOUR CITY is a volcano, here's how you can piss off Astartes and Titans with your defenses."
With how paranoid and thoroughly meticulous Huron was, he might have planned for that.
When the ‘Flesh is weak’ boys, and the ‘murder you faster than you can call us traitor’ boys are one of the only chapters who seem humane in this conflict.

you know what? good on the hive city for driving the space sharks to that. the alternative wouldn't have scarred them as much.
Question.....what happened to the Astral Claws that had been in service to the Death Watch? Were they summarily executed or put on trial then shot 🤔
Probably became black shields.
For some reason, this image just made me laugh:
