The Gothic War's story is such a seminal part of what defines the 40k lore's feel. It's one of my all-time favourite pieces of fluff, blending gigantic "sailing ship" fleet battles, military sci-fi, and grimdark cosmic horror. Plus, it lays the groundwork for so many important following events. For me, it's up there with the Badab War and the Gathering Storm.
I played BFG back in the day, and then when armarda came out and I played the campaign, I had reactions like ... I recognise that name to Oh God Emperor I cannot let chaos succeed in this mission for I already know what happens if they do. The game was masterfully done.

You are better than 90% of the Audible readers because you are not bound to their auto editing of time between words. You can modulate your speed and tone to fit the text, and it makes the content clearer. Their efforts to make their books easily sped up and slowed down makes them slow and stilted. Keep it up, master.
Turns out I still have my fleet and all the rules. I dug them all out dusted them off and they’re going to get some love after seeing the inside of a box for who knows how long
Wow, this was truly awesome and may I dare say on the level of the lauded "Hells Reach" video. Different but still excellent, thank you for sharing this very well produced sweeping bit of lore...
@@ABorderPrince I saw that but it doesn't take away from the production as a whole. You did a wonderful job on this and it's clear it was a labor of love very well executed...
Humorously, does anyone wonder that the only reason imperial ships get to a century old or older, by the fact it takes them that long to get fully fitted with supplies, personal, support craft, etc and then tracking down the fleet they had been assigned to 10 year's prior to the ship's commission is completed? On a more serious note, been really looking forward to this lore video since its announcement, absolutely great work both with the lore itself and the accompanying video. Keep up the awesome work and looking forward to the next one.
man your shit is so dope, i hope you get picked up by GW to do some official stuff, va on games or shows on wh+, you deserver alot more comin, the effort you put in is top notch and you immerse me 100% into the setting no matter the subject, meerry christmas and a good new year
If I could make a humble request of you Lord inquisitor, a video going over the Lord High admiral spire and his exploits in the 12 and 13th Black crusades in more detail ?
@@ABorderPrince I have listened to the official version but the way u narrate is so much better. everything from ur tone the incorporation of music is just attention gripping. Ur vid on the gathering storm/dark imperium was amazing!!!
Gotta say, after the destruction of that entire system by Abbadon with the 3 black stone fortresses, I’m kinda feeling like the imperials should just scuttle the rest to prevent them falling into Abbadons hands considering how powerful they are for him and how much less powerful they are for the imperials. Yes they are massive space stations, but when Abbadon can just turn them off and you can not wield them to their full potential like he can, it seems like it only poses a danger for them to remain in existence. Or at the very least, if they know he’s moving to one specifically I think there’s a strong case to destroy it such as is happening here 48:42. That said, I obviously understand why the imperial commanders don’t give that order, I guess I just felt like this was the best response and wanted to throw it out there lol.
I am writing lore for my 40k tabletop campaign and be damn sure, that the big Chos invasion coming will be based on Gothic war. It did much better job, showing Black Crusade/large Chaos incursion, than Fall of Cadia/old Eye of Terror campaign.
@@ABorderPrince I have a question and I can't think of anyone better to ask. I remember reading a book about space marines and other aliens a long time ago. It was a book about a alien warrior that seen the girl he loved as a young man (they weren't human all I remember is they were bigger than the humans in the book) again for the first time in a long time and she had a new young warrior with her he was jealous of at first until he realized it was his son..... Does that sound like any Warhammer book you've ever read? Or is my memory just playing tricks on me?
@@ABorderPrince yep, I like. Honestly, WH40k helps me dealing with the world, really helps to zone out when welding, before bed also... to disconnect for a short time. This universe is so vast. There will always be a new story. Your vids have been amazing. I think I watched most of them. Thanx for doing this.
And why didn't abbadon just yeet the planet cracker towards sol and take out Terra if it's as tough as they say it could take the pounding from battlefleet sol
The Imperial Navy is the best. With a more powerful navy whole worlds and system could be saved. It does not matter if men live short lives, are weaker, more fragile and less intelligent when you're in a powerful ship. The best equaliser.
From someone who was introduced to 40k through battlefleet gothic armada, it’s so cool to see the similarities between the game’s campaign and lore!
Glad you like
Hope you branched out and t the least listened to some audio books.

Sitting here painting my 3rd imperial fleet while listening to you narrate the gothic war. The Emperor has blessed me this day!
Glad you like
Omg you can buy the fleet

I never considered that tbh I do audible stuff I never had this come up in conversation
@@ABorderPrince at least that’s how I think it works. I’ve enjoyed audiobooks since the 90’s and the audible stuff can sound wooden these days
Oh wasn’t expecting this to drop so soon. Miss playing the table top gothic game. I still have my Eclipse class Eldar cruiser sat on my shelf
That’s cool man they hard to find
Turns out I still have my fleet and all the rules. I dug them all out dusted them off and they’re going to get some love after seeing the inside of a box for who knows how long
Of all the 40k wars. One of my favourites. But then again. Who doesn't like massive cathedral ships with excessively sized cannons blowing things up.
true
The accents given to the various Imperial navy officers are my favorite lol
Glad you like man
Couldn't catch this when it premiered. But I know I'm going to love listening to this.
Thank you very much Prince.
Service Guarantees Citizenship.
Thanks man appreciate
Wow, this was truly awesome and may I dare say on the level of the lauded "Hells Reach" video.
Different but still excellent, thank you for sharing this very well produced sweeping bit of lore...
O well thank you but I took the footage for the gothic armada games and some other sources and edited them together but glad you enjoyed it
@@ABorderPrince I saw that but it doesn't take away from the production as a whole. You did a wonderful job on this and it's clear it was a labor of love very well executed...
The battle fleet Gothic stories are definitely some of my favorites. Them, yaarick, and Cain.
Excellent! I think this was the first huge lore dump book for 40k that I read as a kid, so its always had a special place in my heart.
Hope you enjoyed
Even the lucky survivor, Chief Petty Officer Maxim Barossa, gets his name on that plaque!
lol
This is great thanks.
I loved the lore for battle fleet gothic.
The way they gave evocative examples of ships from each of the available classes.
Yes
I learned that When you start using car sizes to explain your ammo calibers you’re starting to hit the sweet spot of interesting.
The Gothic Sector didn't see it coming, but Battle Fleet Gothic did!

@@Daimon-X a man of real culture.
Love the content and a fitting end to the the two books with the overview. Excited to see what's next.

This is the stuff I feel like you do best. It's so good to hear it. Thank ya
Thanks man
The man delivers.
Congrats on the baby news and hope the family stuff passes soon.

The stream test whistling had me cracking up mate.

Love the visuals dude

Well done. It's full of impressive pictures and well read.
GW should hire you, and pay you well. The narration throughout your videos is so good. Can't overstate it. Just spot on for the setting!
Careful, you might get GW an idea to mothball this channel
I like your "Imperial Bro" voice at Sixteen Minutes Prince.
Love the maps and art. I know, it's hard. But maps are cool. I like maps...
O these are all from games and other sources I didn’t make any of these myself I collected them
That was something!
you earned new patron :)
Ahh thank you sir

Very good. What happened to the planet killer?
It died
I can’t remember where I read it but it gets blown up I’m sure

Can I read the two Gothic War books without ever reading 40k before?
Semper and Maxim Borosa are heroes!
Remember heretics, the imperium's justice is slow, but certain.

And why didn't abbadon just yeet the planet cracker towards sol and take out Terra if it's as tough as they say it could take the pounding from battlefleet sol
