The old FW Imperial armor campaign expansion books were mint, say what you will of 7th but the authors of FW really hit the narrative series out of the park. I had the most fun in that Ed with the narrative play mode using these books with my play group, using maps etc to represent each forces armies and key locations that included bonuses to the controlling team. 8th Ed onward have yet to capture the same charm as these books did, Warrick Kinrade was my favorite of the authors at the time and he makes great content now outside of FW. Old lore for the win.

Now I'm going down the cordite rabbit hole on Wikipedia. It kind of makes sense orc guns would use cordite. I'm assuming there's a squig that makes nitric acid. Once you have the nitric acid all you need is cellulose, fungus doesn't have cellulose it has chitin instead, but it's very similar chemically. So if you stuck a squig full of nitric acid, then forced it through a squig sized garlic press, plus orcy magic, you got "cordite" a decently "smokeless" accelerant. If orcs ever brought black powder to a fight, nobody would be able to see anything at all. Plus it's a lot easier to work with than black powder, it's easier to make, easier to handle, and you don't have to keep it as dry. Cordite seems very orcy indeed.

because they are simple creatures. all they literally ever wanna do is war. Lacking a lot of the human complexity, they probably don't grudge/view death as negative as humies. Some orkboy who gets killed simple went to meet gork and mork. Instead of some sort of eternal beef or hatred, the Orks fight with humies simply cause they want war. WIth who they don't care. Tau tyranids necrons, whoever. Long as there is war.

Cordite is used in everything from cell phones to pancake batter. It's even inserted between toilet paper layers to make the clear 3rd inner layer.

These campaign videos are my favorite on videos on KZread

WOOP WOOP! BP gifting us some fighty story time! Nobody leans into it like you my man. Verve! Passion! Waaagh! ... also, cordite is SUPER British, so fits 40k pretty well. Stopped using it around 1945, the end of the really big wars. So also pretty grim dark.

@ABORDER PRINCE Hahahaha dude 1:51:56 when you went off about the Kordanite! That was a good laugh.

Cordite is old, but not 18th century muskets old (muzzle loading muskets were still using black powder). The British army and Royal navy were still commonly using some forms of cordite right through ww2.

.303 British used cordite at least up to after WWII. I know because I’ve got a Lee Enfield no.4, and bought a big box of.200 .303 from’47 for like 10 bucks, and I ended up tossing it because, besides from the primers being now incredibly unreliable and potentially dangerous, I got yelled at by a gunsmith “STOP SHOOTING THAT SHIT, THE BRITS STILL USED CORDITE AND ITS CORROSIVE TO YOUR BARREL!”

Ahh, you can really smell the battle when listening to this. I'm painting a xorkanaut and this is the perfect inspiration!

Spoilers below My thoughts on what went wrong: 1 Inadequate intelligence of the Ork presence led to the splitting of the Elysian forces. 2 commander of sword was injured early in the battle 3 Inadequate flight time for CAS at shield 4 use of strategic bombing and orbital strikes left as afterthought. Recommendations 1 sword should have been made up of Space Marines. 2 Vulture gunships should have landed nearby (maybe at the fallback point with some of the forces from sword) to preserve fuel. 3 fuel tanks should have been flattened from orbit rather than surgical strike. 4 bombers should have been used to target the mek when they were located. Who is to blame? The Raven Guard - they were in charge of recon and it was sorely lacking.

Your comments about the cordite made me crack up xD Exactly what i was thinking.

Great narration to a really good imperial armour book.

Headstrong playing in the background is the sugar on top of this stellar performance

Thank you , Prince of the Border . 🐺

Love the videos, you do some great stuff, though I just wanted to mention cordite as a term, while cordite itself isn't used any more the term has been kept to reference most smokeless propellants since which is probably where the authors confusion arises from as there are many accounts of modern propellants being referred to as cordite even though they aren't the same thing

I feel that the best think the Imperial Guard could do, is for Yarrick and his fellow comissars to eliminate the commanders. For the leaderships incompetence is such that one could be forgiven for believing they had all fallen to chaos.
