FIGHTERS OF THE IMPERIAL NAVY IN WARHAMMER 40K LORE The fighter craft of the Imperial Navy. Larger and more powerful than what is usually seen in any sci fi setting, these are not just one man ships with pitiful firepower. They are the Emperor's scalpel. Self written story contained.

The fighters in 40K and Star Trek are huge, a Jem'Hadar fighter is 80 meters slightly bigger than a Fury Interceptor. Only in Star Wars and Halo do we have Starfighters the size of modern fighter jets.

THANK YOU! Imagine it, you have either one campaign with multiple factions, or multiple campaigns, with a faction taking up each one. Tech tree for each, or just side objectives to accomplish that unlocks more loadout options for your craft. Mmmmm, the dream.

“It’s your hobby. So do whatever you like with it.” Possibly one of the most refreshing things I’ve ever heard from a 40k video.

I haven't seen ANY fiction involving the rak'gol! Super happy to see them getting mentioned! This is why I come here, a true appreciation for the deep lore and more obscure bits of the setting.

Love the use of the "Space Engineers" models you put up for example images.

Battlefleet gothic has definitely informed me about the power of these small ships. Swarms of bombers to cripple major targets. Intercepters to scout and take down bomber, torpedoes and boarding crafts. Swarms of assault boats to overwhelm anything at extreme ranges. Who cares if they die, i have more!

While the Imperium is vast and known for their armies, but it is the might of the Imperial Navy that makes the Imperium continue to survive the past ten thousand years, and it is the fighters craft that are the first cog to the mighty war machine of the Navy.

Fighters. My very first childhood fascination. A fun subject, too often forgotten. And you gave it a video in the classic Baldermort format! Excellent! Feels like too long since we've had one of these.

Perfect way to start my day, thank you Baldermort!

Would be pretty far in the backlog but a vid on the different infantry of the Navy might be pretty cool Armsmen can be so much more than just security guards with shotguns imo, theres been models on rogue trader armsmens and naval breachers and they all look nice Theres also been description of more elite naval units similar to scions and regimental stormtroopers Armsmens can also participate in away missions on far flung planets especially those working for rogue traders, soa few similarities with the red shirt of star trek

I swear, I can't sleep on an Imperial Navy ship these days without "Starhawk loaded and sent" repeating endlessly in my head. I guess that's what happens when you main the Imperial Navy in Battlefleet Gothic Armada.

An early Baldermort video that’s awesome. The flyers are pretty awesome, same they are all forge world. I bought the air game, but it’s still have yet to assemble, but one day I will build it and play it with the Mrs.

My favorite proxies are their Chaos counterparts, the Hellblade and Helltalon. Though in 9th edition, their Imperial counterparts had 40% less point value for almost their same exact fighter stats. It's probably worse now since the Hell fighters are now in Legends.

yaaaaaay finally a topic ive been yearning for. (not that the others are worse) this is just better than good :D

Major kudos for using the Rak'Gol!...giving the lesser known Xenos threats some limelight.

Thank you sire, just when I was painting up a new model, a Thunderhawk :) So here's an idea for GW, how about a codex for the Imperial Navy? I think all the hard work both you and some of your peers put in would be a very good start for something like that? Or is this something to wish for from Santa? lol

Salute to the Imperial (and real) Navy

Fighter jock and the cargo pilot A cargo plane is flying along, doing its cargo plane thing, when a fighter jet comes up alongside. The fighter jock decides to poke some fun at the pilot who's forced to fly such an ungainly vessel. "My plane's so much more advanced than yours. Watch this, " says the jock, as he proceeds to do loop-de-loops, barrel rolls, corkscrews, and all manner of fast-paced aerial acrobatics "Very impressive," responds the cargo pilot. "But that's nothing. Watch this." For a half hour, the large craft simply plods along straight as an arrow, not even so much as dipping the wings. After a while, the cargo pilot comes back on the radio and says, "So, what'd you think?" Jock: "What d'you mean? You didn't do anything. You just flew straight for a while." Cargo: "Oh no, that wasn't all. I got up, stretched my legs, got some coffee, and went to the bathroom..."

Tech-Priest I have a logical question. Is it Tech-Heresy to create Laser Bolters for Space Marines instead of the usual bullets (as logical proof there are already Plasma Guns)?

@tarektechmarine8209

Ай бұрын

They have, they are lascannons. Laser weapons aren't good for fighting everything, especially against a numerous enemy. Not to mention limit of range, heating and energy required. Scouts have a smaller laser weapon but again, not for many targets. Not to mention most armour in 40k, specifically 30k that most enemies have energy weapons hence why cermite is marine armour and in general, most enemies will have reasonably good laser/heat absorbing material(especially if you can enter and exist Atmosphere) and so physical force is the better choice for smaller enemies, if the bolter doesn't penetrate then it will explode and the thing inside will be pulped.

@baldermort

Ай бұрын

But that’s really Vulkites? Or equivalent to them. You could home brew one chapter maybe. But bolters replaced them due to the upkeep. Tech has regressed from that point. But it’s only an opinion? You know more than I at this point I feel brother. So go with what you like. :).

@thenecrophymm6591

Ай бұрын

Heh, don't let words trip you up, remember, we are following a theme here. Dropped as in catapulted on the Z axis (down) as apposed to fired on "ahead" (be it prow, starboard, or fore). Bombs are on racks, and you can give them a good shove. Imagine a mag-lev style rail, your quite close, a good few seconds of thrust will do it. Explicitly stated or not, you're correct, just make up something. Again, don't let 2nd century -words- terms dictate your understanding of the 41st. I'm assuming this comment is in jest, poking fun at Star Wars (rightly!). This reply is not aimed to berate, only to inspire anyone who might be lacking in imagination. "The Rule of Cool" also has to apply. Given the insane speeds involved, by both craft, "dropping" something and hitting the other, without assistance, is far fetched, even something several KM long, just for starters.
