There is something biblical about the shot of moving those massive broadside shells at 21:40. The way they peel their forms out of the dark, passing the light of the aquila, pulled by hundreds and hundreds of hands, the pure simplicity and determination men musters to determine its own fate in the darkness of this universe. Captures the mood of 40k perfectly.

@@davey_boy94 Those shells are hurled like meteors at the enemy, unless they respond with adequate kinetic/thermal force - which few enemies outside of chaos/ork fleets have (and they;ve never demonstrated any advanced point defense) - the macrocannon projectile would annihilate them. The guns are also far more robust than more advanced directed energy weapons, easily repairable and operable by downright medieval crewmen. It's a perfectly fine weapon for the grim darkness of 40k.

That's the Low Gothic we can understand. True Low Gothic contains a lot more in the way of "Ooo Arrr" & "Oy Dalin". Like they're from Devon.

I swear you could make a whole episode about the lower gang member and slave (hell even the criminal element of a hive) of the imperium and you would not lack content for your trouble, plus it would be a good change from the usual quote on quote average heroisme of the guard and sapce marine...

The way the machine spirit of Sword of Baal is animated is fantastic!! I’d like to think it’s how exactly how I imagined communicating with a space marine vessel’s machine spirit might be (from the descriptions of Octavia communicating with both Covenant of Blood and Echo of Damnation in the Nightlords trilogy).

THIS is a strong female protag. Take note Hollywood.

Youre right, she didn't have to. Maybe she should've taken some time to reeeally think it over. Then perhaps she could've forced herself to keep one eye on him at all times from then on. That's assuming everything else went the same way and they didnt all die in the void. That's not an assumption I'd make though because that guy likely wouldve gotten everyone killed pretty fast. For me though, shooting that guy was when I fell in love with her character. I've yelled "Kill that one before they're a bigger problem!" at so many movies and novels (no small amount of those veing Warhammer novels) that I felt very satisfied with how she... handled things 😊

But where are the blu-rays?

Just imagine a properly done 40k show with a real budget, it would be so glorious the emperor himself would approve.

This was great as was Angels of Death. Question; After the last scene of episode 10 did anyone else think that it may have actually been a Necron device instead of an STC? Or perhaps something akin to Necron technology. As the Adeptus Machanicus want to leave behind the weaknesses of the flesh, then surely, it stands to reason that they must be very interested in the Necrons, as they've managed to translate entirely into the machine.

Why is an Adeptus Astartes battlebarge crewed by mere humans? Where are the Blood Angels? This is not an auxillary escort but one of the battlebarges of the Blood Angels chapter. This thing can launch thunderhawk gunships and Terminator teleport attacks. Drukhari should not be able to board a battlebarge and live! This video would have made far more sense aboard a vessel of the Navis Imperialis. The depiction of the Drukhari was excellent.

First, the Sword of Baal is a Strike Cruiser. Second, Astartes ships are usually crewed by Chapter Serfs (Blood Thralls, in the case of Blood Angels), with the actual Astartes mostly absent from Command (except for the Fleet as a whole, which usually has an Astartes Captain leading it). In this case, either the Astartes contingent was absent (deployed, KIA, etc) or dead from the initial Dark Eldar strike.

I love that in the 40k universe they use combinations of technology and spirituality. They literally link up minds and souls to technology to amplify energy output or to navigate starships. If only real life scientists could start working to unravel the secrets of spirit energy and it's "magic." We might actually move somewhere beyond a new batch of smartphones and game consoles each year.

They have! The scientific study of spirit energy in the human body is called Neurology and devices that allow a person to telepathically interact with a computer are called Brain Computer Interfaces (BCIs) and have been in development for over a decade as of 2024 Currently BCIs use EKGs (Electrocardiography) which is a brain scanning technique only able to detect the outer-most activity of the brain. It's basically like a headband that can read your thoughts. While it's still a primitive technology in its current form; it's possible to use it to perform basic tasks like moving a cursor on a screen or playing simple video games telepathically. In the future, it is possible that an implant similar to the one shown here would be necessary to create a deeper neural connection.
