The REAL lore excuse for the tyranids is that it isn’t the spore mines, it’s the GUN. The ‘vores are actually a heightened version of the normal tyranid living weapon deal. The gun itself, having to track targets and figure out sight lines etc, is actually far more intelligent than the burden beast that carries it, who’s only real job is to either walk the gun closer or stand still. I’d count that personally. The gun, which is riding the creature, is way closer to a person out of the two and the burden beast is effectively a tyranid horse.

Fun fact: the US nearly had horse cavalry when entering WW2. Mostly for recon but since then cavalry became more of a role or title for a mechanised force that does the same things old fashioned horse cavalry did, hell even in WW2 the British used tanks for cavalry (flanking, routing and cutting off supply lines) and many modern armies like the US still do have mechanised forces designated as cavalry. Also insane Chaos Knights and Knights didn’t get an A+, medieval knights are literally heavy cavalry, like the sentient mech is their steed
Germany still used a ton of horses in world war II, mostly for moving supplies. And the Allies probably would have made more use of them except that moving horses across the channel, and indeed across the Atlantic, was probably more pain than it was worth, especially when you have access to America levels of gasoline.
they did have horse cav in ww2. quite famously. "16 January 1942 The 26th Cavalry Regiment, consisting mostly of Philippine Scouts, was the last U.S. cavalry regiment to engage in horse-mounted warfare."
The US, along with virtually every other army on the planet, did have cavalry at the beginning of the war. There was a cavalry regiment stationed in the Philippines that conducted the last cavalry charge in US military history against the Japanese during the invasion. At the start of the war nobody had the industry yet for mass-producing trucks and tanks, horses were often the only way to move materiel around and often had an advantage on the battlefield of quickly moving infantry around. Poland gets shit on a lot for its infamous use of cavalry during the German invasion but what people neglect to mention is that Poland won most of the engagements where it employed its cavalry, and on at least one occasion German and Polish cavalry charged each other. Cavalry is still used albeit in a different role in the modern day, special forces sometimes make use of horses for getting around, and there is one instance of a Green Beret unit leading a "cavalry charge" in Afghanistan, although it's debatable if the term really applies.

Pretty sure World eaters scream "Aaaaaaaaa" most places they go, if it was any other letter I'd think they might have a point but they're bound to know "A".
For tyranids I would have gone with the barbgaunts. The gun is its own organism that basically controls the gaunt it’s attached to. It’s technically a gun riding a ‘horse’.
@@PoptartsNinjathe difference is most pf the time, the gun isn't in control, where as the barbgaunts the gun is, so the one in control is riding, rather than the other way around.
Have to disagree with Tzeentch not getting credit for the Chariot. Chariots have been considered cavalry since the battle of Kadesh in ancient Egypt. It's one of the earliest forms of cavalry in recorded human history and the idea of a weaponeer being driven into battle is a key reason why we still refer to helicopters as a form of cavalry today.
Eldar: Starts the episode with FOUR great examples, all being praised by Brad and Eric as great cavalry units, also not only wearing helmets but fully-enclosed helmets for extra protection, and earning extra credits for the assignment. Brad: Still only gives then an A, not the A+ they clearly deserve just so that he can save that for his class pet; the Drukhari. We've been robbed.
@@Rehtealyes but they didn't grade other models that way... WE LOJ has a helmet option as I'm sure many many more do on this list... they were going off of what was in the first picture on the website
I like to Imagine the T'au kid in the back getting *really mad* that you let the Sisters and the Grey Knights submit a battlesuit and Teacher, Teacher, I have so many cool battlesuits I drew in my free time! You didn't tell me I could submit battlesuits!
They could use the Battlesuits yes, but they also have the Tetra, which is a more cavalry unit than the Piranha, that they forgot the Tetra, which is a tandem bike like the Eldar is just criminal.
Alright, I gotta come out swinging for the wolves, you cannot give mortifiers an A and not even consider thunderwolves, and then also give AdMech and A+ for the exact same thing but in BDSM leather wardog servitor form. Don't come at me with "barely disguised fetish" with those on the list! The absolute gall, the hoodzpah, then to also give the grey knights a one up over us? Also, look at the bloodcrushers, the the lord on juggernaught, and even the squig riders. and tell me those are any different. You good sirs are insulting, cretinous dolts, and worse of all, quite possibly, goofy. I say good day sir!
It was a little annoying. I get the ongoing joke “LuL let’s dunk on the space marines”. But like, there’s actually good submissions that just get glossed over or ignored. The Dark Angels black knights are just there in the corner, completely ignored this episode. But Harlequin’s get a highlight?
I so agree, I love my Thunderwolves and they just got called a Fetish :( though they clearly don't like Space Wolves at all, oh well, live another day lol
37:58 As an American Custodes player, all I see is big chonky V8 barely contained by the hood of a speeder. I can appreciate that y’all simp for elves, but man we deserved that A.
Another day of class, another day of the Ork student emptying their bag onto their desk and walking out with an A while the Space Marine student tries to convince the teacher that their lunchbox technically meets the criteria for _this_ assignment, too.
Cavalry includes helicopters, bikes, and APCs because by the 1900s cavalry was mainly what historically we'd call dragoons. Sure they can fight on horseback but that's not their main job and they usually won't, their job is to ride fast to the next location and then dismount and fight on foot. That doctrine simply got motorised
I’ve had the an idea kicking around in my head for a while of converting Chaos Bikers using the Chaos Knights from AOS. There’s something about the idea of Space Marines on horseback that I just love.
Chaos Marines can leverage daemon engines for some cool mount ideas. I already homebrewed EXACTLY that for Death Guard... why not do the same for CSM? alas, none of the traitor legions leaned on bikes.
Professor, I would like to protest the grade I received on my demon cavalry. I would have my bloodcrushers be my primary submission. The lines and organic nature that you disliked with the seekers are different on the blood crushers. the four legs closer resembles the horse of the example you provided, and the armored juggernauts are similar in nature to the armored horse cavalry of the archetypical knights so them having armor has precedence. The armor plates and khornate sigil provide strong lines that you lamented the abscence of in the seekers In addition the bloodletters riding the juggernauts carry swords, a melee weapon of timeless style, if you did not appreciate the organic weapons of slaanesh then the swords would surely appeal to your tastes more. I do acquiesce that I did not use helmets, but that is antithetical to demon nature and would cause disharmony when viewed in the whole army. With this in mind, I believe Demon Cavalry deserves an A, even before the extra credit of multiple submissions.
Hooray time to let my inner White Scars out! Along side all 18 of my Outriders, 9 Invaded ATVs, 3 Chaplain on bike, and My Khan on Bike (rip sent to legends)
I disagree with a bunch of these gradings.. but what really annoys me (and i know it shouldn't, cause this is just silly entertainment) is the inconsistency in keeping to their own set parameters.
Yeah these guys threw out the modern definition of cavalry out the window on this one. I mean they called a literal chariot not cavalry and said nothing with 4+wheels when most armored cavalry is on 4+wheels/tracks
Thousand sons getting a B for their disk riders and Necrons getting a C for actually following the submission just with a little bit of flair peeved me a little bit. This is clearly nepotism. 😢
14:55 That right there is clear bias! The Droideka are AMAZING designs! I call BIAS! (But in all seriousness, the Droideka actually were among my favourite designs from episodes 1-3, and thus I personally love the Tombblades.)
I feel like if the Discs of Tzeentch count then so should the Drukhari Hellions, it’d basically the same green goblin aesthetic. Looking forward to Votann getting hover skateboards like its Rogue Trader and everyone is playing Swooping Hawk: Pro Skater
This Space Wolf propaganda will be avenged! We will burn Prospero again! (also for real though fair enough our models are really old... GW please update our models, and please make sure it ISNT the guy that made the new wulfen. Those things look atrocious.)
If the Thousand Sons don't get a failing grade for submitting a guy standing on a floating disc, then the Guard should have gotten extra credit for the Sentinels and Hellhound. Not to mention Lord Solar Leontus, who is literally a dude on a horse.
I have an idea to kitbash sacresants onto the Attilan riders and palatines and other characters like dogmatas and cannoness onto the adjective servitor horse things
10:36 Technically you could also count the Harpy which is a larger gargoyle since it also carries spore mines, but that could also be argued more as a bomber than calvary.
I'm surprised the Ad Mech didn't submit their Ironstriders as Extra Credit. Easily more calvary than walkers like the Knights or Grey Knights submitted, and on top of that they actually keep them in a corral when not in use like normal horses ;)
@@danielbalder maybe that’s a newer thing but from what I was aware of there weren’t any furries in my AP art class (that I failed btw, shouldn’t have been in that class lol)
I'm guessing it's because they've already been used? i remember there being a walker video, and given both armies had better entries there was no point in giving the extra credit
I got hyped when I realized Brad was going to HAVE To give Space Wolves an A for having easily the coolest Cav out of all Marines. But his hatred was too strong.
Man I love these every faction vids so much. Not only am I excited to see your opinions on my armies, but it’s so cool to get insight into specific units from other armies that I know nothing about. I’ve never heard of that Lord Discordant unit and that’s one awesome looking model!
It's harder to justify from a strategic standpoint when they can all teleport around like a DBZ episode. I could sorta see a grey knights biker unit, but would it be able to teleport around though?
I like to believe that the tau are actually submitting stuff their younger sibling is making but the teacher can't prove it until the kroot get their codex and enter the classroom
I think this was a productive session Brad, you seem to have had a lot of strong feelings about this time in your life, and I'm glad you were able to discuss it so well. Maybe next week we can look deeper into why you have so much head space for this class.
Now there is some HEAVY favoritism going on here... typical art teacher stuff, but still! Making lots of noise about helmets, but giving an A+ to some bare-headed biker dudes (GSC)? And what about that B- for THREE ACTUAL CAVALRY entries (Daemons)? Holy book-licking, somebody surely did some behind the scenes shenanigans here...
Thank you for what you do, I always look forward to whenever new episodes release. New episodes always bring a smile to my face and lift up my day. Thank you!
1:40 Yea this is why when you look at alot of helicopter shots in Vietnam war videos/pics you'll often see a horse head on a yellow shield on either helicopters or in more modern conflicts some APCs, the US First Cavalry Division uses those for operations now instead.
slight correction, the gun and the parasite are different creatures. the parasite is control, the Barbgaunt and the Barblauncher are the dumb muscle. Neurogaunts also play host to parasites that are smarter than the gaunts themselves. then there's also the Biovore, Pyrovore, and Exocrine. 3 cases where the gun is smarter than the beast.
This category is a great little display of where each faction sits in the universe. AdMech and their exotic dog-horses. Necrons and their esoteric twirly wirly bikes. Votann bringing their brothers to fire big guns on the back of bulky hover bikes. Everyone’s “cavalry” is an expression of what they are. The mounted units are some of the most fun in the game, and it’s a real shame they really don’t focus on them much for releases. More mounted characters please. Edit; this video makes me want a Tyranid cavalry unit. Something centaur-shaped that charges around real fast? Could be a light reference to the zoats.
Alright, why are you only taking 2 submissions from the Guard? Where's the Valkyrie? Where's the Chimera? Heck they should've thrown in a Russ & a Dorn because the Guard has ALL of the possible interpretations of Cavalry in their roster and they do all of them incredibly well. You're shorting them on on the extra credit and it's going to come back to haunt you.
Well part of the requirements were "not a car or buggy" which are more bikey than IFVs or tanks. Also the valkyrie is a plane, and only helicopters are cavalry. I assume not lord solar cause he's a person, not a unit. But idk.
I'd argue that the chimera is closer to a half-track or a more modern IFV/APC which do technically fit into the definition from Miriam Webster from the start. But they did kinda set the rule that they were looking for a more traditional style of Calvary rather than the more modern style of a truck fulla peeps.
@@Freezezonian an ifv can have 4 wheels instead of tracks, a bike can't have 4 wheels otherwise it'd be a quadbike which is a buggy and is specifically not allowed. So if your suggestion would have 4 wheels instead of tracks if it had wheels then it's not cavalry under the rules. This is looking for 4 legs or 2 wheels or equivelants.
As someone who took an art class every time one was offered to me in school, I am amused to find out that Brad was one of those people who took art expecting to be an easy grade and was shocked to find he had to do stuff. ;)
We are actually planning to do this for a christmas break episode currently. It should be fast to record it in a double-up week and release it on a break week at Christmas time.
I'm just going to assume that setting eldar as the bar and then immediately grading a bunch of other (worse) students a higher--plus capping their extra credit points while giving more to T'au even though one of theirs went to a flying tritank--was just Brad's elaborate performance art expressing how much he hates art teachers.
along that same line the Pyrovore (the first Tyranid creature to have the gun confirmed as being the smarter one) and the Biovore also fit there's also Barbgaunts and Neurogaunts, which are both hosts to parasites that are smarter than the host to the point of acting as the host's brain
Modern cavalry is less about what they're riding and more about the role they perform. Horse cavalry conducted recon, screened armies, guarded flanks, and protected communications lines. Modern cavalry are troops who are designated, trained, and equipped to do the same, do mobility is important. That's why they use trucks, armored vehicles, and helicopters.
Alright you're grading Imperial agents wrong too (which I guess is par for the course from art teachers). Helicopters as cavalry was a concepted that debuted on the battlefield in Vietnam where the US was using the Huey to pick & drop off troops onto the battlefield. The Helicopter acts primarily as a transport, not as a combat platform for this interpretation of cavalry and therefore, any aerial dropship/transport fits the billet perfectly as long as it can carry a full squad of troops.
I love these episodes, such an easy way to sell you podcasts to my other nerd friends. Keep up the fantastic work! I'm looking forward to the range reviews for the other factions!
I will not stand for this Thunderwolf Cavalry slander! We are clearly the template all others should follow. I'm taking my 18 sons out of this class! Yes, you can have belly rubs when we get home...
Finally a subject daemons excell at... and you give them a B MINUS?? They have at the very least FIVE perfect and unique cavalry designs (drones, crushers, fiends, Horticulus Slimux, and fluxmaster/blue scribes), you chose to judge the worst of them, denied tzeench his extra credit, and then had the GALL to give Sisters an A WITH extra credit for submitting a fucking DREADNOUGHT! Shame on you, Poorhammer Podcast! Shame on you, art teachers!
To explain a pair of these, Slimux was banned in our setup convo because we made him the race car and we were trying not to do a bunch of duplicates, same reason we didn't do chariots even though they are the original version of cavalry warfare. Flux and Blue Scribes got legends'd and we don't do legends'd units in these since a lot of casuals/new players watch them and we don't want to be the reason someone tries to buy a model that has no support anymore.
Honestly thought that the Sisters' submission was going to be Junith Eruita on her floating pulpit, even as a joke, but the Mortifiers are probably the better choice
Space Marine cavalry gets a C? Jagatai Khan is going to come zooming out of (wherever he is) at high speed to appeal that grade with a boot to your face!

So is that why she's often asked to stay after class. But I was told that was just a dirty rumor spread around by the slannesh student

Pretty sure World eaters scream "Aaaaaaaaa" most places they go, if it was any other letter I'd think they might have a point but they're bound to know "A".
For tyranids I would have gone with the barbgaunts. The gun is its own organism that basically controls the gaunt it’s attached to. It’s technically a gun riding a ‘horse’.
About to write the same! The hivemind wills it! Our ascension is near brother.
Aren't all Tyranid guns alive? So every Tyranid with a gun is a horse carrying a gun into battle.
I was going to say Neurogaunts they are just very small cavalry.
I was thinking the Harpy or the Harridan as they are like helicopter option.
@@PoptartsNinjathe difference is most pf the time, the gun isn't in control, where as the barbgaunts the gun is, so the one in control is riding, rather than the other way around.
Necrons used a Pennyfarthing bicycle as their inspiration because they're so old
Facts.
Heck, it's almost a hollwed out stone wheel.
Have to disagree with Tzeentch not getting credit for the Chariot. Chariots have been considered cavalry since the battle of Kadesh in ancient Egypt. It's one of the earliest forms of cavalry in recorded human history and the idea of a weaponeer being driven into battle is a key reason why we still refer to helicopters as a form of cavalry today.
Yes!
And they said the vtol helicopter, the V-22 osprey equivalent was not cavalry
@@epicassassin8502 no. Not at all. It’s not the osprey it’s the harrier (but taken to the extreme) it’s just a plane

Eldar: Starts the episode with FOUR great examples, all being praised by Brad and Eric as great cavalry units, also not only wearing helmets but fully-enclosed helmets for extra protection, and earning extra credits for the assignment.
Brad: Still only gives then an A, not the A+ they clearly deserve just so that he can save that for his class pet; the Drukhari.
We've been robbed.
If only Karamazov hadn't gone to legends, he would have been at least a solid B grade for the Agents of the Imperium.

@@haroldsandahl6408 so are tanks, lol
@@joelkurowski7129tanks are tanks. IFV’s are cavalry
I like to Imagine the T'au kid in the back getting *really mad* that you let the Sisters and the Grey Knights submit a battlesuit and Teacher, Teacher, I have so many cool battlesuits I drew in my free time! You didn't tell me I could submit battlesuits!
Yes!!! If SoB can use them the Tau should at least get the extra credit scores for all of the battlesuits!
They could use the Battlesuits yes, but they also have the Tetra, which is a more cavalry unit than the Piranha, that they forgot the Tetra, which is a tandem bike like the Eldar is just criminal.
Alright, I gotta come out swinging for the wolves, you cannot give mortifiers an A and not even consider thunderwolves, and then also give AdMech and A+ for the exact same thing but in BDSM leather wardog servitor form. Don't come at me with "barely disguised fetish" with those on the list! The absolute gall, the hoodzpah, then to also give the grey knights a one up over us? Also, look at the bloodcrushers, the the lord on juggernaught, and even the squig riders. and tell me those are any different. You good sirs are insulting, cretinous dolts, and worse of all, quite possibly, goofy.
I say good day sir!
They'll do anything to not treat SW fairly or even the same as other factions they talk down to I swear
It's outright cruel when we know SW are gonna get brightslapped by the crusade against resin this edition.
It was a little annoying. I get the ongoing joke “LuL let’s dunk on the space marines”. But like, there’s actually good submissions that just get glossed over or ignored. The Dark Angels black knights are just there in the corner, completely ignored this episode. But Harlequin’s get a highlight?
I think it's cuz it's a space marine riding another space marine. Pretty kinky... Those are what wulfen are, no?
I so agree, I love my Thunderwolves and they just got called a Fetish :( though they clearly don't like Space Wolves at all, oh well, live another day lol
Genestealers got an A+ without helmets? BIAS!
A bandanna is a helmet right?
14:00 of course the orks ace art class, they invented colour theory
I know it's cheesy but I've had a really bad day and getting home to have some food to the sound of the poorhammer podcast intro is nice
It means a lot to hear our stupid episodes help people after a bad day. Thanks, I hope tomorrow is better for you.
37:58 As an American Custodes player, all I see is big chonky V8 barely contained by the hood of a speeder. I can appreciate that y’all simp for elves, but man we deserved that A.
I got that feel too, ended up putting an inquisitor on one because it was the coolest thing he could use.

Another day of class, another day of the Ork student emptying their bag onto their desk and walking out with an A while the Space Marine student tries to convince the teacher that their lunchbox technically meets the criteria for _this_ assignment, too.
Will you rank on the factions coolest drip, like you would wear it depending on where you going outdoors or a social event depending on where you are.
This is actually a really cool idea, and I would 100% watch that
Immediate middle finger to the Deathguard, unless we count the dripping fluids as 'drip'
This is such a sick episode idea
@@blizzardgaming7070to be fair that green be stylish
@@josephspeak6366 truuuue
Cavalry includes helicopters, bikes, and APCs because by the 1900s cavalry was mainly what historically we'd call dragoons. Sure they can fight on horseback but that's not their main job and they usually won't, their job is to ride fast to the next location and then dismount and fight on foot. That doctrine simply got motorised
Another great episode from Brad Poor and Eric Hammer
I’ve had the an idea kicking around in my head for a while of converting Chaos Bikers using the Chaos Knights from AOS.
There’s something about the idea of Space Marines on horseback that I just love.
Chaos Marines can leverage daemon engines for some cool mount ideas. I already homebrewed EXACTLY that for Death Guard... why not do the same for CSM? alas, none of the traitor legions leaned on bikes.
As a Slaves to Darkness player, you’re more than welcome to try but good luck. The chaos knights kit is push fit and is horrible to put together
Professor, I would like to protest the grade I received on my demon cavalry. I would have my bloodcrushers be my primary submission. The lines and organic nature that you disliked with the seekers are different on the blood crushers. the four legs closer resembles the horse of the example you provided, and the armored juggernauts are similar in nature to the armored horse cavalry of the archetypical knights so them having armor has precedence. The armor plates and khornate sigil provide strong lines that you lamented the abscence of in the seekers In addition the bloodletters riding the juggernauts carry swords, a melee weapon of timeless style, if you did not appreciate the organic weapons of slaanesh then the swords would surely appeal to your tastes more. I do acquiesce that I did not use helmets, but that is antithetical to demon nature and would cause disharmony when viewed in the whole army. With this in mind, I believe Demon Cavalry deserves an A, even before the extra credit of multiple submissions.
32:05 chaos knights is the student that only yells his own name like a Pokemon.

Fellow Angus McSix fan 🤝
I disagree with a bunch of these gradings.. but what really annoys me (and i know it shouldn't, cause this is just silly entertainment) is the inconsistency in keeping to their own set parameters.
C'mon guys, the Necron design is absolute fire! Remember, it's CAVALRY, not BIKERY.
I agree with you, even if technically those are miniature dogfighters instead of "bikes."
But then I'd count Lokhusts.
Yeah these guys threw out the modern definition of cavalry out the window on this one. I mean they called a literal chariot not cavalry and said nothing with 4+wheels when most armored cavalry is on 4+wheels/tracks
I feel my spine creaking just looking at them.
@@johnj.spurgin7037I think the Lokhusts kinda make interesting cavalry
Thousand sons getting a B for their disk riders and Necrons getting a C for actually following the submission just with a little bit of flair peeved me a little bit. This is clearly nepotism. 😢
Absolutely devastated you mentioned the wolf cav and completely skipped ravenwing black knights. Also chaplain on bike
14:55 That right there is clear bias! The Droideka are AMAZING designs! I call BIAS! (But in all seriousness, the Droideka actually were among my favourite designs from episodes 1-3, and thus I personally love the Tombblades.)
They're more like those monocycle things from Episode 2.
I'm surprised you didn't pick Canis Rex for Imperial Knights, seeing as how it has an extra model for the dude inside, showing it as the true cavalry.
I feel like if the Discs of Tzeentch count then so should the Drukhari Hellions, it’d basically the same green goblin aesthetic. Looking forward to Votann getting hover skateboards like its Rogue Trader and everyone is playing Swooping Hawk: Pro Skater
10:46 the tyranid guns are all alive. If you look at them in SM2, and some of the models guns have eyes and gills of their own.
This Space Wolf propaganda will be avenged! We will burn Prospero again! (also for real though fair enough our models are really old... GW please update our models, and please make sure it ISNT the guy that made the new wulfen. Those things look atrocious.)
Does this mean you don’t want the drawings us Drukhari players make for you. Cause we did have a financial arrangement
@@insertname5371 No no, we love that art. You guys are great
@@insertname5371 Honestly if we could hire them twice we would.
If the Thousand Sons don't get a failing grade for submitting a guy standing on a floating disc, then the Guard should have gotten extra credit for the Sentinels and Hellhound. Not to mention Lord Solar Leontus, who is literally a dude on a horse.
I feel like the Dark Angels deserved a point ot 2 of extra credit..
We have Sammael, a hover bike. And Black Knights. Motorcycles, but with plasma..!

Edit: Hang on, why don't Crisis Suits count for cavalry! You could make an argument for them as much as Piranhas.
What I don’t understand is why they didn’t include the Lokurst destroyers.

10:36
Technically you could also count the Harpy which is a larger gargoyle since it also carries spore mines, but that could also be argued more as a bomber than calvary.
Based on the score for the Nemesis Dreadknight, I suspect the Invictor Tactical Warsuit would have scored higher than the Outrider Squad
I'm surprised the Ad Mech didn't submit their Ironstriders as Extra Credit. Easily more calvary than walkers like the Knights or Grey Knights submitted, and on top of that they actually keep them in a corral when not in use like normal horses ;)
I propose(much like another guy) every faction’s melee blender.
Cmon tyranids this is your time to shine. The haruspex is a walking wood chipper.
Hasnt the nemisis dreadknight been the submission for this style of podcast like 4 times now? Dreadnots, Termies, knights now cav

@@danielbalder maybe that’s a newer thing but from what I was aware of there weren’t any furries in my AP art class (that I failed btw, shouldn’t have been in that class lol)
A Space Marine carrying another Space Marine on their back does not cont as cavalry.
@@brennantmi5063 the Kroot counted so that is inaccurate
Algorithm + what about admech’s chicken walkers?
Or guards Solar Leontus/ scout Sentinels.
I'm guessing it's because they've already been used? i remember there being a walker video, and given both armies had better entries there was no point in giving the extra credit
@@willmanthorpe8437 counterpoint: K-sons got credit for dudes on hover disks, but T'au didn't for the Ethereal.
I got hyped when I realized Brad was going to HAVE To give Space Wolves an A for having easily the coolest Cav out of all Marines.
But his hatred was too strong.
You know, modern cavalry military units are mostly mechanized and armored units, so tanks and transports should technically count...
They already did tank episodes
Man I love these every faction vids so much.
Not only am I excited to see your opinions on my armies, but it’s so cool to get insight into specific units from other armies that I know nothing about.
I’ve never heard of that Lord Discordant unit and that’s one awesome looking model!
Eric having a brain blue-screen at having to say "the biovore has another living tyranid riding on it's back" is just perfection.
World eaters are like: "Hey, Coach doesn't care what grade we get as long as it's a passing grade, now back to the football field."
The Grey Knights would get points off for me because of the "don't dead open inside" situation with the lettering on the shinguards 😂
It's harder to justify from a strategic standpoint when they can all teleport around like a DBZ episode. I could sorta see a grey knights biker unit, but would it be able to teleport around though?
I like to believe that the tau are actually submitting stuff their younger sibling is making but the teacher can't prove it until the kroot get their codex and enter the classroom
10:17 flashbacks to my non-NT ass needing VERY SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS in art class.
Can confirm that stoner who made bongs whooped me in that class.
I think this was a productive session Brad, you seem to have had a lot of strong feelings about this time in your life, and I'm glad you were able to discuss it so well. Maybe next week we can look deeper into why you have so much head space for this class.
Now there is some HEAVY favoritism going on here... typical art teacher stuff, but still! Making lots of noise about helmets, but giving an A+ to some bare-headed biker dudes (GSC)? And what about that B- for THREE ACTUAL CAVALRY entries (Daemons)? Holy book-licking, somebody surely did some behind the scenes shenanigans here...
They should do a “ranking every factions titan” and then still submit the wardog
That sly furry joke was uncalled for, and hilarious. Drukhari artists making that money from their commissions.....
I'm happy I'm not the only one who caught that.
Thank you for what you do, I always look forward to whenever new episodes release. New episodes always bring a smile to my face and lift up my day. Thank you!
Did you know that those bikes are based on the sturmtigers?
@@TibTub2 fun fact: The Sturmtiger was invented by Bob Sturm and Steve Tiger
Space Marines: Floating vehicles, no jetbikes

Hey, you give DKoK extra credit for a FW unit, but ignore my Custodes hot rod jet bikes from FW. That's playing favorites man, 😄
1:40 Yea this is why when you look at alot of helicopter shots in Vietnam war videos/pics you'll often see a horse head on a yellow shield on either helicopters or in more modern conflicts some APCs, the US First Cavalry Division uses those for operations now instead.
Yeah. They were literally called “air cav” lol
The barbgaunt gun is a tiny little parasite that took over a gaunt-- does that count?
slight correction, the gun and the parasite are different creatures. the parasite is control, the Barbgaunt and the Barblauncher are the dumb muscle.
Neurogaunts also play host to parasites that are smarter than the gaunts themselves.
then there's also the Biovore, Pyrovore, and Exocrine. 3 cases where the gun is smarter than the beast.
This category is a great little display of where each faction sits in the universe.
AdMech and their exotic dog-horses. Necrons and their esoteric twirly wirly bikes. Votann bringing their brothers to fire big guns on the back of bulky hover bikes.
Everyone’s “cavalry” is an expression of what they are. The mounted units are some of the most fun in the game, and it’s a real shame they really don’t focus on them much for releases. More mounted characters please.
Edit; this video makes me want a Tyranid cavalry unit. Something centaur-shaped that charges around real fast? Could be a light reference to the zoats.
Alright, why are you only taking 2 submissions from the Guard? Where's the Valkyrie? Where's the Chimera? Heck they should've thrown in a Russ & a Dorn because the Guard has ALL of the possible interpretations of Cavalry in their roster and they do all of them incredibly well. You're shorting them on on the extra credit and it's going to come back to haunt you.
What about the lord solar?
Well part of the requirements were "not a car or buggy" which are more bikey than IFVs or tanks.
Also the valkyrie is a plane, and only helicopters are cavalry.
I assume not lord solar cause he's a person, not a unit. But idk.
I'd argue that the chimera is closer to a half-track or a more modern IFV/APC which do technically fit into the definition from Miriam Webster from the start.
But they did kinda set the rule that they were looking for a more traditional style of Calvary rather than the more modern style of a truck fulla peeps.
@@Freezezonian an ifv can have 4 wheels instead of tracks, a bike can't have 4 wheels otherwise it'd be a quadbike which is a buggy and is specifically not allowed. So if your suggestion would have 4 wheels instead of tracks if it had wheels then it's not cavalry under the rules.
This is looking for 4 legs or 2 wheels or equivelants.
10:15 guys, the gun. The gun is a bioform. And if you count spore mines as "riders", the harpy is aerial cavalry
You guys really started nailing the art bullshit ramble by the time you got to the chaos daemons. it was painful.
Behind the scenes look: we cut some of us trying to do more art critic rambling, it took some attempts to really dredge up that repressed anger.
As someone who took an art class every time one was offered to me in school, I am amused to find out that Brad was one of those people who took art expecting to be an easy grade and was shocked to find he had to do stuff. ;)
Oh I didn't take it to be an easy A, I took the required 2 art classes in 4 years and ran back to math and science classes.
Idk why the Chaplain on Bike wasn't used, it's an amazing looking model compared to those riders. Also Death Riders are cool 🤣
The way you did the grading/explanations for the grades was so a step up from what came before. Curious what class they will be grading next.
So when do we get every factions report card?
We are actually planning to do this for a christmas break episode currently. It should be fast to record it in a double-up week and release it on a break week at Christmas time.
I'm just going to assume that setting eldar as the bar and then immediately grading a bunch of other (worse) students a higher--plus capping their extra credit points while giving more to T'au even though one of theirs went to a flying tritank--was just Brad's elaborate performance art expressing how much he hates art teachers.
Having the Invader ATV and Outriders use normal, wheeled vehicles but have every other indomitus-era land vehicle use grav-tech is painfully stupid.
Chaos Daemons getting a B- is a severe case of an art teacher getting severe lead and mercury poisoning combined wth
I think Exocrine would have been a better pick for Tyranids, since the main creature is technically the Canon and it's riding the dumb main body.
along that same line the Pyrovore (the first Tyranid creature to have the gun confirmed as being the smarter one) and the Biovore also fit
there's also Barbgaunts and Neurogaunts, which are both hosts to parasites that are smarter than the host to the point of acting as the host's brain
Helions could've maybe been extra credits for Drukhari?
You didn't touch the aesthetically best space marine bikers, the Ravenwing?!
TBF they didn't even bother to grade the divergent chapters and snubbed SW.
The divergent chapters never get mentioned. Not even on episodes where it would make sense.
Sammael, master of the ravenwing would've been my submission
Modern cavalry is less about what they're riding and more about the role they perform. Horse cavalry conducted recon, screened armies, guarded flanks, and protected communications lines. Modern cavalry are troops who are designated, trained, and equipped to do the same, do mobility is important. That's why they use trucks, armored vehicles, and helicopters.
Alright you're grading Imperial agents wrong too (which I guess is par for the course from art teachers). Helicopters as cavalry was a concepted that debuted on the battlefield in Vietnam where the US was using the Huey to pick & drop off troops onto the battlefield. The Helicopter acts primarily as a transport, not as a combat platform for this interpretation of cavalry and therefore, any aerial dropship/transport fits the billet perfectly as long as it can carry a full squad of troops.
I love these episodes, such an easy way to sell you podcasts to my other nerd friends. Keep up the fantastic work! I'm looking forward to the range reviews for the other factions!
I will not stand for this Thunderwolf Cavalry slander! We are clearly the template all others should follow. I'm taking my 18 sons out of this class! Yes, you can have belly rubs when we get home...
This feels like Brad working through some unresolved trauma, I’m glad we get to see our hosts have such great character development.
Finally a subject daemons excell at... and you give them a B MINUS?? They have at the very least FIVE perfect and unique cavalry designs (drones, crushers, fiends, Horticulus Slimux, and fluxmaster/blue scribes), you chose to judge the worst of them, denied tzeench his extra credit, and then had the GALL to give Sisters an A WITH extra credit for submitting a fucking DREADNOUGHT! Shame on you, Poorhammer Podcast! Shame on you, art teachers!
To explain a pair of these, Slimux was banned in our setup convo because we made him the race car and we were trying not to do a bunch of duplicates, same reason we didn't do chariots even though they are the original version of cavalry warfare. Flux and Blue Scribes got legends'd and we don't do legends'd units in these since a lot of casuals/new players watch them and we don't want to be the reason someone tries to buy a model that has no support anymore.
Thanks for the new episode!
I always considered armored vehicles as part of cavalry
Honestly thought that the Sisters' submission was going to be Junith Eruita on her floating pulpit, even as a joke, but the Mortifiers are probably the better choice
She does count as Mounted now...
Krieg cavalry being $35+ MSRP and $60+ a pop online is a travesty. I hope they get more cavalry in the refresh/update.
