i love "bob monkeigh" (sounds a little bit like bob _monkhouse!),_ but there's no way the inquisitorial hotline would be that efficient. you'd probably have to "speak the name of the ordo or departmento you are trying to reach… i'm sorry, i was unable to recognise sufficient zeal in your voice. please speak the name of the ordo… i think you said 'order nally-bus'; is that right?" for about half an hour before reaching a switchboard that sends you in circles, and then hanging up.

I gotta restate just how awesome an idea Space Hulks are from a wargaming prospective. Anything and anyone could be inside them, they could have been anywhere. Any kind of ship, station or colony could have been amalgamated into them so you can use any kind of terrain or battlefield you want.

The end bit comparing easter egg hunts to pokemon to megazord is why I'm subbed to this channel.

Space Hulk got me into 40k in the first place so they've always got a place in my heart, can't imagine how pants shitting it'd be being on some imperial backwater, algi farming planet and then there's a new moon in the sky which is opening fire. Gonna be doing a log of the Into the Dark kill team with that terrain this year, very hype for it!

Never majorly got into WH40k but was ALWAYS interested. Now im fully down the rabbit hole. Love it.

I think my favourite bits so far are how other factions have reacted to the Arks and the raids for the artifacts. The Necron Lord who was killed in his tomb, woke up in a new body on the next planet over and was so furious at such a dishonourable death that he gathers everything he can find and heads off for some payback. The Ark that drops into realspace to find the Votann have torn the planet apart for resources and the trail now leads off towards the core. Or the plunderers raiding the Arks for archeotech (they're still hulks, after all) with a band of Drukhari coming close to taking the Ark for themselves, but realising that if they leave it to continue on its journey, it'll leave countless worlds in its wake as easy prey for future raids. You can pull so many little story moments out of this, not to mention that the setting allows for pretty much every kind of interaction between forces, from Kill Teams, to Boarding Actions, to full scale battles, with no restriction on where they'll be fighting. And the best thing is, I was pondering starting a homebrew Chapter specialising in space-borne and low atmosphere fighting even before all this was announced! It's all coming together!

There are not enough "thumbs up" worth this wonderful over-view. Well done, Ian.

"It's us vs everyone, just as Chaos inten-" "Also us, us vs everyone vs us." "... JUST AS CHAOS INTENDED!!!"

So abbadon is on a scavenger hunt for artifacts that will awaken an ancient dooms day weapon. Abbadon "ah. Like the gothic war. Where I needed to get two ancient artifacts in order to awaken the blackstone fortresses." Vastorr "yeah a bit like that. Only this time there's..... 45 items."

One of the Arks assaults the Forge World Graia? That's a nice little tie-in to Space Marine 1 there. I like it when GW makes casual nods to third party works.

@farseeraradrel4808

Graia is also a sub-faction in the Ad. Mech Codex, so it's probably their most prominent nod to a third-party collab. Unless Graia already existed and Space Marine just made it relevant. I dunno.

So happy to see you’ve recovered well from your long streams, I was watching the first one and I had a blast playing Darktide with you. I was “FercoButter” and it was really nice to enjoy the WarHammer community in a new way in the chat. 👍

As someone who came into contact with 40K through Star Quest (Space Crusade), I could not pass this up. Liked the sneak peek, nice to see, that GW has you on their radar 👍

I'm really excited about tthe Boarding actions mode. Not just removing some of the rules clutter but small points games that don't result in the side with initiative shooting the opponent off the table T1.

oooooooo please do a video on The Adeptus Astra Telepathica and/or the Adeptus Astronomica. Thatll be a fun esoteric watch 😃👍

This was really good! Fun video, and I like the dive into the lore. I am also super excited for the smaller, more straight-forward games.

Very helpful video, really felt lite in the official videos. Hopefully they flesh it out with more lore. Keep up the good work.

Love the Vashtorr lore I think he really should ascend to God hood at the end up this by closing the great rift but the burst of energy from the key awakens the emperor fully and he begins to heal and speaks aloud for the first time in over 10 thousand years but uttering the words..... My son's only in death does duty end and it's shown he wakes up the Lion and cracks open the webway briefly to reveal the Khan splitting a dark eldar in half and beckons him through the opening.

Vashtorr is such a cool character concept. So jealous.

If I recall correctly, the whole "secret Chaos force making deals with other daemons to turn them into Soulgrinders" was a bit of lore present in Warhammer Fantasy back in the day. At least if the Wikis are to be believed. It's nice to see that thread being put to good use here.

I love this! Yes this is huge! I been playing since 2008(5th) and switched from Guard/Grey Knights to CSM mid 2009 and since then ive been hearing people hate on Abaddon and blame plot armor for events they personally didnt like. Ive always felt that because of Abaddons belief thar he could do his own thing somewhat as chaos undivides, although naive opened the door to provide him with a great opportunity to realistically split from the traditional villain path and maybe even become some kind of anti hero somewhat similar to Necrons who lets be honest, are not half as menacing or mysteriously evil as they were in 4th and 5th.

There's a really good thread in a lot of the recent books (brought up again in this one) about how Abaddon thinks. As far as he's concerned, assaulting Terra directly is suicide and Horus only did it because he was arrogant - Abaddon thinks of arrogance and overconfidence as one of the main flaws of the Primarchs. So Abaddon plays the long game, slowly building forces and eroding the Imperium until he can be totally sure he'll win.
