You acting like the Imperium doesn’t have tens of trillions of military manpower, hundred and thousands of forge world, probably millions of hive world and agri world. So, there’s trillions of “souls” to go around every problems. Also note that Ultramarines have the most stable geneseed, so that probably contribute to their rapid-ish recovery, and now they don’t even have to worry about geneseed’s degeneration anymore (altho I can’t remember if it’s already implemented during this time, or was it after Guilliman’s resurrection with the Primaris)

I'm not sure how much of a difference it would have actually made. The Custodes tend to be a smaller elite force, and although it would have greatly bolstered the defensive force, I think the sheer quantity of biomass would have still overwhelmed them. Maybe the 1st company would have managed to hold out in the polar fortress with their help

There is one story of the emperor and his 300 killing 100,000 orks and only losing 2. I'd say they could crush any hive fleet in a ground war. Mostly due to the supporting elements like guard and sisters of silence. Their null field could mess with the synapse link and keep the gaunts feral.

When the Emperor and the Primarch of the Ultramarines met for the first time, the following exchange took place: "What is it your people call you, my son? What is your name?" the Emperor would inquire of his son, so that He would know what to call him. "Rabooft," said the Primarch. "R-Rabooft?" "Yes, milord. Rabooft." the Primarch confirmed. "Rabooft what?" pressed the Master of Mankind after a brief moment of silence with a few incredulous blinks. "Billyman." "Billyman..." repeated the Emperor. "Rabooft...Billyman." "Yes, milord." And on that day the Emperor would decree the Primarch would evermore be known by a new name. And that is how that Primarch got such a weird-ass name. The only way someone ends up with a name as silly as 'Robute Guilliman' is if they're covering up for one that is even worse.

If I become a High Lord Of Terra, one of the first thing I’m going to do is have an incredibly devastating weapon somewhere between Super High Yield nukes and Exterminatus devices. Would have been super handy during Nid invasions.

Really enjoyed your video. Thank you. Just a quick question. If a chapter can’t go over 1000 marines how on earth did they keep fighting and taking losses then retreating and doing this time and time again if the chapters only have 1000 marines? Also, when Roberte Guillimon returned and reinforced all chapters with primaris marines did he change the codex to go over this figure?

@@SleepySack Would it be possible to simply construct smaller ships, that are specifically made to detonate themselves against the Tyranid hive fleets? If BC are expensive, wouldn`t it be viable to just make a ship without weapons, and just really strong defenses and engines? Like, let`s be real, the Imperium would have no problem making these sorts of suicide ships. Or can only big ships do that?

@minhducnguyen9276

​@@samueltrusik3251 Not really. There are more than one problem with this tactic. Any ship with a warp drive can do this but of course bigger ships create bigger vortex when they detonate the reactor and they were trying to suck up an entire fleet. But the second reason is the bigger concern. Warp vortex are very inconsistent. Some will last only a few seconds, some will stay there indefinitely after the detonation. This is why the imperium try to avoid creating warp vortex as much as possible. Because a warp vortex that won't dissipate will distort both the local realspace and the warp plane, disrupting traffic forever.

I think Guilliman would react to this event after he reawake.

Loads of demons crawled up out of the groumd and eventually killed all the orks. The demons bring the orks back to life after they die so they can fight over and over. The tyranods fought a chaos force at shadowbrink. Four greater demons one from each chaos god lead the chaos force. The tyranids won.

Old one eye was unfrozen lomg after behemoth but even though it could have been from behemoth it was never recorded as part of behemoth. It was found and thawed out hundreds of years after behemoth. If the lore has changed to include old ons eye in behemoth its news to me. It makes sense that old one eye was part of behemoth but it was not the case in its usual lore.

Great video, really interesting. Bit of advice, try practicing on your talking voice, I don't know if you are but it sounds like you're just reading from a page.

Not gonna lie, kinda feel like they should have detonated a ship earlier.

Except the tyrannids hadn't consolidated the entirety of their entire force in one central close quarters area by that point. Earlier they were still launching their forces in wave upon waves.

Such a cheap shot of story writing to add Tyranids to the world of Warhammer. It's like they ran out of writing ideas. But whatever, it's Warhammer after all. It's go big, and go hard or nothing at all. Haven't they heard of BUG SPRAY?!!!! Great video nonetheless.

*Ultra depression*

propaganda and fluff! The Ultramarines cried and wet themselves as the nids raked a bloody swath through their systems. They were only saved by the imperial navy. The blood angels were able to easily overcome its own Tyranid test with a handfew of irradiated auxiliaries, mutated bezerk allies, and all while being hunted by Karbanda. Robot Gillermoon only arrived to mop up the victory, much like he did 10k years prior when he failed to save the emperor!
