I love how the old rules had the Death Strike range listed as unlimited inches. In practical terms, this means that you could call up a game store in another city anywhere in the world, ask if there's a 40k game going on, and say you wanted to launch a Death Strike Missile at them. You'd basically drop a pie tin somewhere on their table and attack anything under the pie tin.

26:00 - You talk about Orks not travelling in FTL through the warp, but they actually sometimes do. And they do it deliberately. They willingly travel through the warp when it is expedient for them to do so and they dont have any gellar fields or other technology to protect them from the entities in the warp. They just let the demons aboard, then fight them until the orks come out the other side or are slaughtered by demons and other horrors. This is one of the things i love most about the orks and their utter "i dont give a fuck, let me fight!" nature. Ghazghkull was doing this in his waagh against Argmageddon.

A Custodian's mind is a far more impressive weapon than all of the strength and crazy gear that they have. The Emperor's bodyguards can analyze and identify even the most subtle indications of a threat to Big E in a very short time. Once it took 30 seconds for a Custodian to figure out a Chaos cult's complicated cypher based on looking at certain unassuming objects from a certain angle. When his baseline-human ally marveled at how easily he had cracked the code, the Custodian replied that it was, in fact, very difficult--only the toughest puzzles took him that long to solve.
I think hells reach is a good example of what your talking about. Grimaldus started out feeling his deployment to the city a waste, but toward the end, when the canoness showed him the cities charter and the fact that they fought for something greater than themselves, he finally could relate to them, he finally found the commonality of the human spirit.
I recall reading in the novella Fifteen Hours by Michael Scanlon (2005) that the Administratum clerk responsible for directing this newly-raised regiment's troop ship to the right war zone made a single error because he had been working for something like 40 hours straight (iirc). So going by the notion that the Imperium considers a single Deathstrike worth more paperwork than an entire IG regiment, that'd be a comparatively large chunk of extra work for a horribly overworked Administratum clerk who can't even remember if he was supposed to send a regiment troop transport here or there and just sent it the place he thought was right since he was that tired and overworked. It certainly fits into the Imperium's whole shtick but I think you got the Administratum clerk-bit wrong. He would not be asking an IG colonel if it's absolutely necessary, he'd be desperate to get through the extra lines of data needed to be signed, digitally stamped and filed at a point where every waking second is literal torture to him.
@@jackp492 You'd enjoy that novella then. It's called fifteen hours because the protagonist ends up in a war zone where the longest a new recruit is slated to survive is fifteen hours. The contrast is really there!
I just wanted to say: Never stop making these kind of videos. You helped me a lot. In another video you were talking about the positive mental health effect of warhammer in general. Your videos helped me to calm down and I could finally have a good night sleep once again. Sounds a bit paradox regarding the content, but the insanity in this universe helped me to cope with stuff in the real world for some reason. 2019 was a very rough year for me. I don't know if you will ever read this comment... But I got through it because of you. Should you ever visit Berlin, drinks are on me. That's the least I can do. Thank you!
The Death Guard’s “Tox-Dump” Shown off in “The lords of silence” book at the battle of aggropena. It’s basically a death guard ship vomiting it’s frothing waste on an enemy ship. Not only does it eat through void shields and reduce capital ships to molten slag. It’s such a Nurgle weapon. You basically just take a steaming toxic, warp enfused dump on the enemy
I wonder what insane weapons the T'au have. Their railguns? The Ghostkeel Battlesuit? Their insane ability to just be able to pivot and create an entire battlefleet after _one_ major engagement with Humanity? Any ideas?
@@detamahid1224 ah yes plot armour, the only competent species in the galaxy that can ground an entire crusade to a halt (yeah yeah they left because Tyranids but they were GROUND TO A HALT by the T'au alone and this was when the T'au didn't have all of their super cool stuff)
Insignificance. None of the major factions consider them worth the effort of wiping out, and so they continue to live for another day. One day, this insignificance will not be enough to protect them, and every last one of their worlds will burn before the unfeeling eyes of a bureaucrat, the wild smile of an Ork, the gleeful ministrations of Chaos, or any other significant force. They are doomed and hopeless, only their own insignificance delaying their meaningless deaths. Such is life, in the 42nd millennium.
just gotta say, your absolute love for this game and it’s setting is refreshing. Playing other games at my local shop i happened to see 40k games quite frequently. I’ve always been intrigued by the design and imagery evoked. You do a fantastic job of boiling the lore down into digestible chunks. thanks for the videos, i am now addicted.
Stars Wars Imperium: We destroyed one planet to establish out dominance 40K's Imperium of Man: We have that once a week and don't let that Inquisitor get close to the Exterminatus button or it'll be 3 per week
>Talks about "Spirit of Mankind" as a superweapon. I now expect you to talk about; 1) How all Orks are rumored to be Psykers and how their collective belief changes reality, and 2) Whatever is at the center of the Tyrnid hivemind(to which I personally believe its the C'tan Iash'uddra the Endless Swarm).
always hated the ideas of the tyranids being connected to the cthan or ancients it makes the universe so small i prefer the tyranids as a confirmation of hopelessness in this galaxy there is only war, but suppose the emperor wakes up , wipes out the orks and heretics unites the galaxy and leads humanity beyond the stars the only thing you will find outside the galaxy is more war, just bigger fits the 40k scale better
the most dangerous part of the deathstrike, at least in it's original variant shown in the epic game, was that it could hold a titan scale Vortex missile warhead. any small tank that has a titan scale weapon, even a one shot version, is rather OP, lol
Pure love goes to the following terms used by you in this video: - "Solid dose of insanity", "the amount of guards man turned into 'meat paste'", "it is my guess-timation".
I am a native viking representative. Since Æonic is a bastardised use of our precious Æ I agree that your pronunciation of Æonic is the best one to go with. With the Necron in mind, "aeonic" seems like the intended word and therefore do not warrant such wanton tomfoolery.
by my ravishing ribcage, I am indeed fortunate enough to watch this 21 mins since upload time since i was doing my homework also its sept 21 so ye 21 21
I imagine the launching rites for the deathstrike goes something like the Holy Handgrenade bit from Monty Python, count to three, not four, but also not to two....
I can imagine the Deathstrike Missile ritual would go something like: "And Saint Attila moved the Deathstrike Missile onto the front line, saying, 'O God Emperor, bless this thy Deathstrike Missile, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy.' And the Emperor did grin. And the people did feast upon the lambs, and sloths, and carp, and anchovies, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats, and large chulapas. And the Emperor spake, saying, 'First shalt thou press the Holy Arming Button. Then shalt thou count down from three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count down, and the number of the count down shall be three. Four shalt thou not count down from, neither count down from two, excepting that thou hath proceeded from three. Five is right out. Once the number one, being the third number, be reached, then launcheth thou thy Holy Deathstrike Missile towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it."
Your audible recommendations have sent me into a spiral of 40k listening, mostly dan abnett at present listened to the eisenhorn trilogy including the magos the first 4 gaunts ghosts (which skip to book 12 or 13 after the first 4) and now listening to the ravenor trilogy, absolutely fantastic!
I feel if we are going to talk about stupid, impractical, insane and stupid weapons from epic 40k we're gonna need to have a chat about Ordinatus in the next video
In the last episode you mentioned that the tabletop rules for Eldar guns seems to sell them far short of where they should be in lore. The Deathstrike missile has the exact opposite on the tabletop (or used to anyway). The unlimited range feature had people calling in missile attacks from games across the country, breaking the 4th, 5th, and 6th walls of reality, but it was allowed. Truly the most powerful weapon in the game for a period of time.
I’ve been hooked on your channel for weeks now got vermintide 2 with friends and after I’ve been hooked on warhammer lore and you are the man! I love the dedication the narration and the depth in which you apply to your videos. You sir are blessed by the emperor.
Luetin- "I'm no philosopher..." then goes on to muse "I like thinking about the human condition..." We listen attentively because you hold up the mirror, pointing at the laugh lines on our faces. You show us that humans raise a placard with 'morals' scrawled across it, shout about rights and while at home, across the kitchen table, furtively whisper about ethics and yet know with a certainty beyond faith that the 40K universe speaks a truth about the human condition. About us.
Ork Attack Moons...I love the war with the Beast. I remember the first time reading that like: "They built what!? how could build...but they are orks..." Right after that I bought an ork army and never looked back.
@@meowmeowmeow594 IT would be like the Orb gun the Necrons have...taking the entire output of a star and focusing it onto whatever. Also the Quasi-Stellar Obliterator is one from Stellaris that would be fun
Luetin, the guy where you listen intently the first go around and keep it as really good background noise for the hour long ones. God I love this channel
Necron are so gnarly man. Love their lore so much. Cool names, cool architecture, beast weapons and just darn right OP! Don't play them though, love Black Templars too much. But Necron always hold a deep place in my heart. Great video.
Salamander: "You know you guys, I feel bad for the guard sometimes. They just keep getting gooshed and they don't have grenade machine gun rifles or anything." *A single MFRL scoots by, groaning under the weight of a gigantic missile* Salamander: "Aw, good for that guy."
i love how necrons can basically just eliminate all life from the whole universe. i heard a story, idk how true but apparently they have a device that can reset time and completely reverse everything that has happened
It was the breath of the gods, and it was from the forges of Mars series. Also it was being used improperly by a tech priest in which it started to create a false vacuum which would in modern science reset our universe by traveling at the speed of light while the laws of physics inside the false vacuum are theoretically completely different from our known universe. This of course was a side effect from misuse. The real purpose of this device was to feed the C'tan indefinitely for all time as it would siphon power from suns in the past, present, and future, while at the same time creating new stars infinitely essentially making the C'tan who are already star destroying, singularity creating, undying star gods infinitely more powerful.
Yes audible! This is how I'm getting all my 40k books now... Now I just need more credits so I can have enough audiobooks to just re listen to them without them getting old.
Pt 3, Pt 3, Pt 3!! I used your audible link a few months ago and now have a subscription. Audible has a brand new 40k titles featuring the burgeoning Necron storyline, Primaris, etc. Some books are like 16h long so are nice if ya got a commute.
One of the most powerful Imperial weapons: Imperial Truth/Cult. Think of what it's made the Imperium do. It alone has probably been the cause of more deaths than any weapon.
I have to agree with that last part. As a classic ode once said: "...The hearts of men have stood united against a galaxy that despises them for no reason save they had the audacity not to lay down and die... And against creatures like you, teeming and numberless, powered by the very will of thirsting gods, HE HOLDS THE LINE. And he has held the line for ten thousand years." For anyone that hasn't read/heard it, it's called Pity the Guardsmen. Please go read/hear it.
I mean, it makes sense that sanctioning the use of such means takes some paper work and approval. A vortex warhead literaly tears at the fabric of space, creating a temporal hole into the warp, just so you can annihilate a high priority target. It's deployment is completly uncontrolled and incredibly unpredictable compared to orbital saturation bombardament and exterminatus. Definitly not something that should be taken lightly.
best part is that you go on about how u dont care if u pronounce æonic correctly and then imidiatly pronounce it perfectly fine ( you pronounce it wrong a few times after that but i thought it was hilarious that the imidiate pronounciation was spot on)
So, hear me out. What if the faith powers we see in the likes of the living saints and the adepta sororitas aren't latent psychic abilities? But instead the metaphysical personification of the Spirit of Mankind? That for all their belief in the Emperor, their thoughts that they channel his God-like powers through themselves is entirely incorrect. That in reality, the powers they wield are the very Spirit, the core of humankind. And what if the emperor's true goal wasn't to foster humanities growth in using the Warp but instead was to protect them while they grew into the own unique power, much like the orcs have their own pseudo warp-like abilities. Humanity has their indomitable spirit, their unbreakable force of will, such a force that was unreliant upon the Warp and entirely held within each and every human being. This could without a doubt give the gods of chaos pause and drive them to, not necessarily the destruction, but the constant degradation of humanity, to ensure that such an impossibly powerful force would never come to fruition.....just a thought.
Definitely something that is both possible and impossible, as with the nature of 40k. Given that humans are essentially psionic batteries and the spawn of the old ones, in addition to the emperor's incredible warp presence, its certainly possible that the vast quantity of humans could materialize such acts of power much like the orks. I mean, its through the orks' collective waaagh energy that created Gork and Mork. I say that its completely possible that the latent psyker power of all humans then creates the incredible powers possessed by the rare human.
Not that anyone cares, but I think your pronunciation of "Æ" is flawless. Norwegian seal of approval inserted. Love the channel, keep up the amazing work
the thing about the beauracy needed to move a deathstrike across a storage hanger, let alone actually fire, that makes me laugh so much is that with a snap of her finger, Inquisitor Greyfax got 7 of them to shoot at the deathguard xD
You're awesome Luetin. That Deathstrike missile is a great lore idea of insane Imperium ways of doing things. Holding back 100,000 guardsmen as factory workers to mass produce missiles like that, to use them like confetti at hoards of Orks for example, seems far more effective them 100,000 human infantry shooting Orks until they get overrun. Also, it's a cool name, "DeathStrike", as opposed to a non Death Strike....ah, yes, an infantry guardsman with a laz rifle.
Leutin: "I can already hear everyone screaming: the spirit of man Leutin, boo." Troll: "The spirit of man Leutin, BOOO!" *ding dong* The Inquisition: "Someone at this address booed the Imperium."
Hey Luetin, watching my 3rd vid of yours after going "hang on, isn't that the Battlefield guy?" and absolutely loving it! The mental health video I found to be important when trying to make mental health less tabooed and escapism better understood as healthy but also dangerous if it's allowed to dominate one's life. Thanks for opening up, that requires courage but it's a necessary action! Anyways, I wanted to say that the ae can be pronounced like the German Ä so that Aeonic becomes Äonic. Ae is also an acceptable spelling of Æ in Danish and Norwegian (pronounced like the German Ä) if Æ is not available! I don't know how useful this is to you (or if you were already aware), but anything for 40k lore c: Stay safe and keep up the lore work!
I love how the ork "tech" is crudely effective. They got nothing to envy to them Necrons or Humans. And there's still more to come? Truly, this may end up as a long-lasting series.

"My bare hands" ~ Unknown Custodes (Probably)
A Custodian's mind is a far more impressive weapon than all of the strength and crazy gear that they have. The Emperor's bodyguards can analyze and identify even the most subtle indications of a threat to Big E in a very short time. Once it took 30 seconds for a Custodian to figure out a Chaos cult's complicated cypher based on looking at certain unassuming objects from a certain angle. When his baseline-human ally marveled at how easily he had cracked the code, the Custodian replied that it was, in fact, very difficult--only the toughest puzzles took him that long to solve.

My lord. Luetin09 is rambling on again.
Aministratum- Did he fill in the necessary 100 forms to allow his rambling on??
I think hells reach is a good example of what your talking about.
Grimaldus started out feeling his deployment to the city a waste, but toward the end, when the canoness showed him the cities charter and the fact that they fought for something greater than themselves, he finally could relate to them, he finally found the commonality of the human spirit.

@@112steinway AHHAHA !!! It is so ""ZOGGING GOOD"" to have all my fwiends here !!! Now come and lets have some fu-WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH
I recall reading in the novella Fifteen Hours by Michael Scanlon (2005) that the Administratum clerk responsible for directing this newly-raised regiment's troop ship to the right war zone made a single error because he had been working for something like 40 hours straight (iirc).
So going by the notion that the Imperium considers a single Deathstrike worth more paperwork than an entire IG regiment, that'd be a comparatively large chunk of extra work for a horribly overworked Administratum clerk who can't even remember if he was supposed to send a regiment troop transport here or there and just sent it the place he thought was right since he was that tired and overworked.
It certainly fits into the Imperium's whole shtick but I think you got the Administratum clerk-bit wrong. He would not be asking an IG colonel if it's absolutely necessary, he'd be desperate to get through the extra lines of data needed to be signed, digitally stamped and filed at a point where every waking second is literal torture to him.
that might be the most horrific concept of 40k, if rather be a trooper for that quick death
@@jackp492 You'd enjoy that novella then. It's called fifteen hours because the protagonist ends up in a war zone where the longest a new recruit is slated to survive is fifteen hours. The contrast is really there!
@@TheIvanNewb awesome cheers for that brother I'll give it a look

You just described my job
I just wanted to say: Never stop making these kind of videos. You helped me a lot. In another video you were talking about the positive mental health effect of warhammer in general. Your videos helped me to calm down and I could finally have a good night sleep once again. Sounds a bit paradox regarding the content, but the insanity in this universe helped me to cope with stuff in the real world for some reason.

The Death Guard’s “Tox-Dump”
Shown off in “The lords of silence” book at the battle of aggropena. It’s basically a death guard ship vomiting it’s frothing waste on an enemy ship.
Not only does it eat through void shields and reduce capital ships to molten slag. It’s such a Nurgle weapon.
You basically just take a steaming toxic, warp enfused dump on the enemy

Plot armor ?
@@detamahid1224 ah yes plot armour, the only competent species in the galaxy that can ground an entire crusade to a halt (yeah yeah they left because Tyranids but they were GROUND TO A HALT by the T'au alone and this was when the T'au didn't have all of their super cool stuff)
Insignificance. None of the major factions consider them worth the effort of wiping out, and so they continue to live for another day. One day, this insignificance will not be enough to protect them, and every last one of their worlds will burn before the unfeeling eyes of a bureaucrat, the wild smile of an Ork, the gleeful ministrations of Chaos, or any other significant force. They are doomed and hopeless, only their own insignificance delaying their meaningless deaths. Such is life, in the 42nd millennium.

The T'au have propaganda. I mean have you seen those T'au women they use to entice Guardsmen to defect?
just gotta say, your absolute love for this game and it’s setting is refreshing. Playing other games at my local shop i happened to see 40k games quite frequently. I’ve always been intrigued by the design and imagery evoked. You do a fantastic job of boiling the lore down into digestible chunks. thanks for the videos, i am now addicted.

I now expect you to talk about; 1) How all Orks are rumored to be Psykers and how their collective belief changes reality, and 2) Whatever is at the center of the Tyrnid hivemind(to which I personally believe its the C'tan Iash'uddra the Endless Swarm).
always hated the ideas of the tyranids being connected to the cthan or ancients
it makes the universe so small
i prefer the tyranids as a confirmation of hopelessness
in this galaxy there is only war, but suppose the emperor wakes up , wipes out the orks and heretics unites the galaxy and leads humanity beyond the stars
the only thing you will find outside the galaxy is more war, just bigger
fits the 40k scale better
@36:00 "I'm no philosopher" he says. Mate, have you seen your own video's on the nature of the warp? Haha. Loved those btw.
the most dangerous part of the deathstrike, at least in it's original variant shown in the epic game, was that it could hold a titan scale Vortex missile warhead.
any small tank that has a titan scale weapon, even a one shot version, is rather OP, lol

I am a native viking representative. Since Æonic is a bastardised use of our precious Æ I agree that your pronunciation of Æonic is the best one to go with. With the Necron in mind, "aeonic" seems like the intended word and therefore do not warrant such wanton tomfoolery.

I can imagine the Deathstrike Missile ritual would go something like:
"And Saint Attila moved the Deathstrike Missile onto the front line, saying, 'O God Emperor, bless this thy Deathstrike Missile, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy.' And the Emperor did grin. And the people did feast upon the lambs, and sloths, and carp, and anchovies, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats, and large chulapas. And the Emperor spake, saying, 'First shalt thou press the Holy Arming Button. Then shalt thou count down from three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count down, and the number of the count down shall be three. Four shalt thou not count down from, neither count down from two, excepting that thou hath proceeded from three. Five is right out. Once the number one, being the third number, be reached, then launcheth thou thy Holy Deathstrike Missile towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it."
Ah, the holy handgrenade. Always a pleasure.
With 40k being not only grim dark but also grim derp, I can actually see it happening in that way.
Yeah, like the Flashlight Brigade would ever be allotted breakfast cereal.
That last bit about the faith of mankind and the Imperium was brilliant! As always, you’re next-level in your analysis of 40K lore. Thank you 😊
Your audible recommendations have sent me into a spiral of 40k listening, mostly dan abnett at present listened to the eisenhorn trilogy including the magos the first 4 gaunts ghosts (which skip to book 12 or 13 after the first 4) and now listening to the ravenor trilogy, absolutely fantastic!

It’s our Boiii Luetin!! So soon after his last video!
I feel if we are going to talk about stupid, impractical, insane and stupid weapons from epic 40k we're gonna need to have a chat about Ordinatus in the next video
Yes, please
In the last episode you mentioned that the tabletop rules for Eldar guns seems to sell them far short of where they should be in lore. The Deathstrike missile has the exact opposite on the tabletop (or used to anyway). The unlimited range feature had people calling in missile attacks from games across the country, breaking the 4th, 5th, and 6th walls of reality, but it was allowed. Truly the most powerful weapon in the game for a period of time.
Your piece on the indomitable spirit and willpower of human beings was a welcome reminder in these dark times
I’ve been hooked on your channel for weeks now got vermintide 2 with friends and after I’ve been hooked on warhammer lore and you are the man! I love the dedication the narration and the depth in which you apply to your videos. You sir are blessed by the emperor.
Praise the Emperor! Glory to the Imperium of Man!
And crush the heretics and all adversaries of mankind!
For the imperium of man death to the traitors and heretics and xenos
That’s some nerd shit
I genuinely like your detailed intros/asides like the bit you said was skippable, I think they give good context to support your conclusions.
Luetin- "I'm no philosopher..." then goes on to muse "I like thinking about the human condition..." We listen attentively because you hold up the mirror, pointing at the laugh lines on our faces. You show us that humans raise a placard with 'morals' scrawled across it, shout about rights and while at home, across the kitchen table, furtively whisper about ethics and yet know with a certainty beyond faith that the 40K universe speaks a truth about the human condition. About us.
This was probably not the first video I needed to watch getting back into 40k
Last time I was THIS early.. oh, wait, I wasn't.
Last time I was this early Guilliman was still sleeping, so not that early really
Ork Attack Moons...I love the war with the Beast. I remember the first time reading that like: "They built what!? how could build...but they are orks..." Right after that I bought an ork army and never looked back.
Nycole-Dyson beam is a weapon we can theoretically build, and its a weapon that wouldn't loose out to the most powerful weapons in the 40k
Finally, a weapon to surpass a lasgun.
Nicoll-Dyson beam.
@@meowmeowmeow594 IT would be like the Orb gun the Necrons have...taking the entire output of a star and focusing it onto whatever. Also the Quasi-Stellar Obliterator is one from Stellaris that would be fun

Necron are so gnarly man. Love their lore so much. Cool names, cool architecture, beast weapons and just darn right OP! Don't play them though, love Black Templars too much. But Necron always hold a deep place in my heart. Great video.

I could listen (and have listened) to you for hours, you really do bring the universe of 40k to life like no other.
i love how necrons can basically just eliminate all life from the whole universe. i heard a story, idk how true but apparently they have a device that can reset time and completely reverse everything that has happened
Everthing is cannon, but not everything is true :)
It was the breath of the gods, and it was from the forges of Mars series. Also it was being used improperly by a tech priest in which it started to create a false vacuum which would in modern science reset our universe by traveling at the speed of light while the laws of physics inside the false vacuum are theoretically completely different from our known universe. This of course was a side effect from misuse. The real purpose of this device was to feed the C'tan indefinitely for all time as it would siphon power from suns in the past, present, and future, while at the same time creating new stars infinitely essentially making the C'tan who are already star destroying, singularity creating, undying star gods infinitely more powerful.
Yes audible! This is how I'm getting all my 40k books now... Now I just need more credits so I can have enough audiobooks to just re listen to them without them getting old.
Deathstrike Missile for when you positively, absolutely have to kill something on a totally different table... on another continent.
22:00 “orks are often waaagh-dly underestimated...”
Your videos are always an event in my daily life. Just great and well made content
Pt 3, Pt 3, Pt 3!! I used your audible link a few months ago and now have a subscription. Audible has a brand new 40k titles featuring the burgeoning Necron storyline, Primaris, etc. Some books are like 16h long so are nice if ya got a commute.
One of the most powerful Imperial weapons: Imperial Truth/Cult. Think of what it's made the Imperium do. It alone has probably been the cause of more deaths than any weapon.
I have to agree with that last part. As a classic ode once said: "...The hearts of men have stood united against a galaxy that despises them for no reason save they had the audacity not to lay down and die... And against creatures like you, teeming and numberless, powered by the very will of thirsting gods, HE HOLDS THE LINE. And he has held the line for ten thousand years."
For anyone that hasn't read/heard it, it's called Pity the Guardsmen. Please go read/hear it.
I mean, it makes sense that sanctioning the use of such means takes some paper work and approval. A vortex warhead literaly tears at the fabric of space, creating a temporal hole into the warp, just so you can annihilate a high priority target. It's deployment is completly uncontrolled and incredibly unpredictable compared to orbital saturation bombardament and exterminatus. Definitly not something that should be taken lightly.
best part is that you go on about how u dont care if u pronounce æonic correctly and then imidiatly pronounce it perfectly fine ( you pronounce it wrong a few times after that but i thought it was hilarious that the imidiate pronounciation was spot on)
So, hear me out. What if the faith powers we see in the likes of the living saints and the adepta sororitas aren't latent psychic abilities? But instead the metaphysical personification of the Spirit of Mankind? That for all their belief in the Emperor, their thoughts that they channel his God-like powers through themselves is entirely incorrect. That in reality, the powers they wield are the very Spirit, the core of humankind. And what if the emperor's true goal wasn't to foster humanities growth in using the Warp but instead was to protect them while they grew into the own unique power, much like the orcs have their own pseudo warp-like abilities. Humanity has their indomitable spirit, their unbreakable force of will, such a force that was unreliant upon the Warp and entirely held within each and every human being. This could without a doubt give the gods of chaos pause and drive them to, not necessarily the destruction, but the constant degradation of humanity, to ensure that such an impossibly powerful force would never come to fruition.....just a thought.
Definitely something that is both possible and impossible, as with the nature of 40k.
Given that humans are essentially psionic batteries and the spawn of the old ones, in addition to the emperor's incredible warp presence, its certainly possible that the vast quantity of humans could materialize such acts of power much like the orks.
I mean, its through the orks' collective waaagh energy that created Gork and Mork. I say that its completely possible that the latent psyker power of all humans then creates the incredible powers possessed by the rare human.
As for the spirit of man, it’s apparent in their control over the God machines. The knights, war hounds and others. Pretty potent weapon!
Not that anyone cares, but I think your pronunciation of "Æ" is flawless. Norwegian seal of approval inserted. Love the channel, keep up the amazing work
the thing about the beauracy needed to move a deathstrike across a storage hanger, let alone actually fire, that makes me laugh so much is that with a snap of her finger, Inquisitor Greyfax got 7 of them to shoot at the deathguard xD

That Deathstrike missile is a great lore idea of insane Imperium ways of doing things.
Holding back 100,000 guardsmen as factory workers to mass produce missiles like that, to use them like confetti at hoards of Orks for example, seems far more effective them 100,000 human infantry shooting Orks until they get overrun.
Also, it's a cool name, "DeathStrike", as opposed to a non Death Strike....ah, yes, an infantry guardsman with a laz rifle.

Hey Luetin, watching my 3rd vid of yours after going "hang on, isn't that the Battlefield guy?" and absolutely loving it! The mental health video I found to be important when trying to make mental health less tabooed and escapism better understood as healthy but also dangerous if it's allowed to dominate one's life. Thanks for opening up, that requires courage but it's a necessary action!
Anyways, I wanted to say that the ae can be pronounced like the German Ä so that Aeonic becomes Äonic. Ae is also an acceptable spelling of Æ in Danish and Norwegian (pronounced like the German Ä) if Æ is not available! I don't know how useful this is to you (or if you were already aware), but anything for 40k lore c:
Stay safe and keep up the lore work!
