The fact that the Guard kept on fighting as the planet literally broke into pieces beneath their feet is possibly the single most metal thing in any fiction, ever.
In there lore its said that some planets are stuck in medieval times, feral worlds are like pre historic times and so on, what if we are one of those planets and 40k is indeed happening as we speak?

No. It would suck. They just need to make realistic sized scale model planets as 3D gaming mattress globes and magnetic unit baseplates and i dunno how we would play a planetwide assault tabletop game, harnessing the players from the roof with winch, a bit like that old picture from the guys who play cs 1.6 and one guy is tapered to the ceiling? And i wouldnt mind corpsestarch flavor doritos either. Just imagine an actual 40k tabletop game with some 10 million troops per player :) each turn would take weeks!
I agree, games are not enough for Warhammer 40k and Total War, we need movies and TV series, but I hope that when they decide to do it, they will do it as animation. As you can understand, Warhammer is not suitable for physical shooting, but it can only be done with animation. Anyway, I hope they do it one day.
In the past i always rolled my eyes at Guard players and their claims of awesomeness, but after this event even I can admit it is a little true. And the whole "The Planet broke before the Guard did" is a pretty badass and true claim.
The Guard isn't brave, it's forced conscription. With death being the only way out for 99.9% of them. You see what happened to the Captain right? He spoke the facts of the situation and got murdered by a Commissar. The vast majority of those who didn't "break" are just Guardsman that chose to keep their mouth shut and die 10 minutes later in the fires of the planet being destroyed, instead of dying right now by a bullet to the head. A "badass" fighting force doesn't need Commissars to enforce their "bravery".
@@jodirty no doubt. IG is the whole sportsball team. Astartes are the specialists who get called in for rare but important moments, like pinch hitting or place kicking or pulling a jersey over someone's head and punching them in the face.

Well, not really...Trazyn decided to. Because the only thing he hates more than organics (and Orican) would be a galaxy that is boring...and if Chaoos won, that probably would be what it would become.
The necron aid destroyed a chaos aligned blackstone fortress. 4-5 more battles like this and Chaos will run out of super weapons to deploy as they once did. In theory the necrons should be able to just rebuild the pylons again. So killing the jewels of a God is quite big.
Trazyn literally asked the dynasty guarding Cadia and The Celestial Orrery to help him and they replied "that's cool bro but we kinda don't care". Literally only Trazyn helped from the necrons side.
Clearly you dont comprehend the scale of Necron empire.... this wasnt any bigger than themselves, just a little chore to clean up after these fleshbags and puny mortals can't even run their empire well so Necrons have to help a little time by time. Like mother who cleans up after her little toddler built and smashed his little lego brick tower.
Stating it like they had to choice to leave LOLOLOL. You either die by the enemy, or die by a Commissar shooting you in the head, for not running in to die by the enemy haha. No one is exempt, not even a Captain caring for the safety of his crew in the face of an insane Admiral making horrible decisions.
@@Mutiny960just read the Ciaphas Cain books. You can see that even down to the infantry the soldiers of the Imperium are still loyal and willing to go into hell for the Imperium. Cain, the greatest Commissar in the Galaxy (other than perhaps Yarrick), doesn't shoot any of his soldiers unless they turn to outright heresy, and is known to care about his soldiers lives and not want to throw them away (even if his motivations are purely selfish (atleast in his own eyes, though he doesnt really give himself the credit he deserves)). Most soldiers in the setting are so indoctrinatrd that they would happily have carried on fighting as the planet broke apart beneath their feet, commissar or not. Especially those of Cadia, who were pretty much raised from birth to be the perfect, unquestioning soldiers.
Trazyn probably is well used to that given how often he mettles with Imperial citizens. “Yes yes, an affront to nature and your Omnissiah. Want to see a cool trick?”
12:30 imagine being a Cadian Guardsmen in the middle of the fight receiving reports to evacuate the planet now. No where to run, no where to hide, only one thing left to do: Fight. The planet truly broke before Guard did.
I also want to add a really subtle thing I noticed. I LOVE how Admiral Catallia's shift of tone changes towards the end. Giving up her own life ending by ramming the enemy in a blaze of glory with a righteous and confident voice, to her then sudden realization and horror of the enemies intention along with the planets immediate fate.

@@shifusensei6442 NO. That's part of the problem. "Playing it safe" for the idiot masses is what leads to the total piles of shit we have now. The rare instance of someone having integrity to show the true story (See: Dune) it's labeled as a masterpiece. In reality, the person just didn't spoil what was already there.
@@Mutiny960yeah but the Ciaphas Cain books are probably the easiest to adapt to a TV series since it's all from 1 perspective and the main character is actually somewhat relatable. And the Cain stories have a little bit of everything, suspense and horror for the tyranid ones, grimdark for Cains Last Stand, and the liberation of Perlia for a full on action movie with abit if grimdark mixed in. + The cain stories fucking slap already. They're like the Gotrek and Felix books but for 40k, a perfect mix of grimdark and over the top action that make the setting what it is while also being abit more easy to digest than hearing about how icky a space marine finds weak humans or the eldari's constant feeling of rot and decay as their entire race dies, or the entire lack of a story for the Tyranids.
The tragic part is if she had reigned in her pride, her battle group would've been perfectly positioned to intercept the chaos force that rammed the Blackstone Fortress
Every other month or so I get this video recommended and every time I always watch it. Such a great story and cinematic and I jsut imagine if this was the actual intro to the game how epic it would be for a first timer to go through this as his tutorial mission
Yep in the in-game missions there's extra bits, for example you play Sven Bloodhowl in his delaying attack (and his subsequent... "heroic explosion") against the Blackstone Fortress
I like that the Arch Magos was the first one Trazyn went to see because the only friend Trazyn really ever had was a Magos. they were friends and Trazyn was really devastated by the old age of his Magos' friend.
GW isn't cool enough to do it, but I'd love to see a competent and well-written attempt at a hypothetical future, where there's a last stand of men, eldar, and necrons against a critical mass immateriam event. It's all over, but they won't go down without a fight. The Harlequins show up, the Tomblords reawaken, and the Emperor speaks one last time, commanding the Custodes to abandon their posts and fight to the last.
for old Warhammer 40k fans the destruction of cadia was world shattering in that cadia was known by readers of the lore to be the stalemate of imperium vs chaos and it was known for almost 20 years of the relentless war.
When i started in 40K in the late 80s, Cadia was the Guard.... the Guard was Cadia. Still take out the original codexes (codices) for a quick read every once in a while.
There's a ciaphous Cain book where the mechanicus and a group of necrons collaborate for a little bit, Below are spoilers. The two groups work together because the the mechanicus is helping get a necrons project built by mining minerals, the mechanicus think they'll be able to undergo the life transferance like the necrontyr underwent, the necrons arent going to give them the bio transference though. Cain and the remaining loyalist mechanicus stop this and "kill" the necrons responsible.
In the 2nd they removed something nice that was the open customization of ships, it became bit more boring with that, because let's face it, the BFGA ruleset/scenario itself isn't that great
Are the source materials even consistent enough for anything to be called accurate? The lore gets retroactively changed with every edition. 1st edition had beastmen on the Imperium armies.
Cadia never lost a battle but it lost the war due to a guy who got mad he was on a 0-13 streak and decided if he can't beat it with overwhelming power and numbers than just suicide crash into it.
Technically the Imperium was on a 0-12 losing streak. The Black Crusades were not intended to conquer or destroy the galaxy. They ranged from surgical campaigns to small-scale raids by a few elite units. Confusingly all of them are called the Black Crusades, but each have "sent the Imperium reeling". Don't sound like losses in my book.
@@reginadea2821 they where all reconned and still couldn't beat cadia without the suicidal crashing. Yes he accomplished other objectives but the crusades where still to defeat cadia failed technically the 13th failed as well.
@@WShoup9818 The Crusades prior to the 13th were not to defeat Cadia. This is from the 2nd edition Chaos codex. They were never failures, and they were always devastating. ""Abaddon has led twelve Black Crusades against the Imperium. Some have been great invasions of whole Legions of the lost and the damned, others have been vicious raids with only a few companies of the most deadly Chaos Space Marines at his command. Each attack has sent the Imperium reeling and ravaged worlds close to the Eye of Terror. The High Lords of Terra live in fear of the day that Abaddon unites all of the Traitor Legions into an unstoppable horde and returns to play out the last acts of the treachery begun by Horus ten thousand years ago.""
Bitersweet ending (99.9% biter and 0.1% sweet). Many Cadians manage to survive this, now they continue serving into the battlefield, because Cadia is not just the planet, it's is people, and that's pretty cool... But the biter part (Related to Cadia's people) is that the bast mayority of Cadia civilian survivors were on Adeptus Mechanicus ships, sended to Forge Worlds where they were turned into Servitors... They survived that catastrophic mega-hell apocalypse only to be subjected to inhumanely painful surgery to be turned into cyborg slaves and treated as mere objects... But well, that is the Warhammer 40K way
We will not forget the fall of Cadia, or I will not forget the imperial guards who continue to fight even if the planet begins to disappear on the planet. A minute's silence for the fallen imperial soldiers in Cadia and for the martyred Cadia. Rest in peace Cadia, your death will not be in vain.
I honestly don't care but this needs to be the intro of any 40k movie or T.V series that maybe coming, and if its a movie that is going to be expanding to lead to the fall of cadia im all for it. to Horus betrayal to introduce why its happened leading to abaddon the despoiler being the chosen after horus, imagine seeing this fully made on the big screen and if its not obnoxiously loud its not warhammer 40k. lol
Abbadon is such a spiteful bastard. But damn if pulling in a fleet to push the Blackstone fortress into Cadia wasn't a strategically genius move. I really need to redownload and finish this game already. And all the other faction stories.
I always loved Spacefleet more than Battle Fleet: Gothic. Is a shame this game couldn’t have been played as a ship captain controlling one ship instead of as an Admiral and a fleet.

Simply awesome. Great work
You just now got me hooked on 40k man, found my new thing lmao
After what Horus did, the Spirit of Vengeance was a bait the Imperium just couldn't resist. That is the power of symbols.
Commisar Do Your Duty......Click Click Boom!
I was there on Cadia and helped the forces of Chaos destroy Kasr Vasan Toronto Games Day 2003. "KILL! MAIM! BURN!"
There's a reason the saying, "The planet broke before the guard did," is a saying.
This is my new favorite channel
Thanks bro!
cawl and trayzn are the perfect, awsome yet most strange coleauges ever

Cadia Stands!!
"The planet broke before the guard did"
Superb video
The fortress fell even before the defenders did
Abaddon: "aight sons if you don't wanna fall ima make Blackstone Fortress fall on you"
Wow that was great it was not boring dialog.😊
Cadia never lost a battle but it lost the war due to a guy who got mad he was on a 0-13 streak and decided if he can't beat it with overwhelming power and numbers than just suicide crash into it.
It worked, didn't it?
He was on 0-12. He couldn't make it 0-13. Otherwise, his father would laugh at him. Like he usually does
Technically the Imperium was on a 0-12 losing streak. The Black Crusades were not intended to conquer or destroy the galaxy. They ranged from surgical campaigns to small-scale raids by a few elite units. Confusingly all of them are called the Black Crusades, but each have "sent the Imperium reeling". Don't sound like losses in my book.
@@reginadea2821 they where all reconned and still couldn't beat cadia without the suicidal crashing. Yes he accomplished other objectives but the crusades where still to defeat cadia failed technically the 13th failed as well.
@@WShoup9818 The Crusades prior to the 13th were not to defeat Cadia. This is from the 2nd edition Chaos codex. They were never failures, and they were always devastating.
""Abaddon has led twelve Black Crusades against the Imperium. Some have been great invasions of whole Legions of the lost and the damned, others have been vicious raids with only a few companies of the most deadly Chaos Space Marines at his command. Each attack has sent the Imperium reeling and ravaged worlds close to the Eye of Terror. The High Lords of Terra live in fear of the day that Abaddon unites all of the Traitor Legions into an unstoppable horde and returns to play out the last acts of the treachery begun by Horus ten thousand years ago.""
Commissar! Do your duty!
Very good Video 👍🏻
*CADIA STANDS!*
For Cadia!!
We want more 👏🏻 we want more 👏🏻
Lady and gentlemen you get why it's stated the planet broke before the gard did now.
卡迪安屹立不倒!
Thoughts and prayers to all the Canadians lost in the invasion 💭🙏😔
Canada Stands.
Cadia Stands! Cadia Lives!
The Planet broke before the Guard did!
Great gig🤩
The planet Broke before the Guard did.
She lost 65000 men in a blink of an eye 😮
And the Imperium just fucking watched !
Bitersweet ending (99.9% biter and 0.1% sweet). Many Cadians manage to survive this, now they continue serving into the battlefield, because Cadia is not just the planet, it's is people, and that's pretty cool... But the biter part (Related to Cadia's people) is that the bast mayority of Cadia civilian survivors were on Adeptus Mechanicus ships, sended to Forge Worlds where they were turned into Servitors... They survived that catastrophic mega-hell apocalypse only to be subjected to inhumanely painful surgery to be turned into cyborg slaves and treated as mere objects... But well, that is the Warhammer 40K way
CADIA STANDS WHILE ITS SONS AND DAUGHTERS STAND, IT FALLS WHEN WE SAY IT DOES
Harrison Ford will play the Necron matrix generator
Let the galaxy burn! For the warmaster!!!
FOR CADIAA!!
For Frodo!
¡CADIA EN PIE!
We will not forget the fall of Cadia, or I will not forget the imperial guards who continue to fight even if the planet begins to disappear on the planet. A minute's silence for the fallen imperial soldiers in Cadia and for the martyred Cadia. Rest in peace Cadia, your death will not be in vain.
Cadia Stands!
I honestly don't care but this needs to be the intro of any 40k movie or T.V series that maybe coming, and if its a movie that is going to be expanding to lead to the fall of cadia im all for it. to Horus betrayal to introduce why its happened leading to abaddon the despoiler being the chosen after horus, imagine seeing this fully made on the big screen and if its not obnoxiously loud its not warhammer 40k. lol
Cadia stands!
The planet broke before the guard
Abbadon is such a spiteful bastard. But damn if pulling in a fleet to push the Blackstone fortress into Cadia wasn't a strategically genius move. I really need to redownload and finish this game already. And all the other faction stories.
I always loved Spacefleet more than Battle Fleet: Gothic. Is a shame this game couldn’t have been played as a ship captain controlling one ship instead of as an Admiral and a fleet.
Так, теперь нужно найти и прочить книгу об этом
Cool
Casual broke before the guard did
Laughs in chaos
LET THE GALAXY BURN
epic
The game ....naahhh ....the lore ....❤❤❤
CADIA STANDS!!!
As long as the Imperial Guard stands, mankind will never kneel before the foul forces of the heretic, the mutant and the alien. CADIA STANDS!!
Btw, laws of physics would have torn that station to big chunks on the way to the planet.
if one shall fall 10 more shall take his place, Cadia STANDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FUH DE EMPRAAAH!
10:20 Ultra Marines to the rescue!!! >:D
Bro,bro,BROOOOO,HOW CAN A PS2 KINDA GAME BE SO FUCKING EPIC!? nah bro i'm buying this,first need to finish Dawn of war 1 2 and 3

"All hands! Well... Except for that one guy I had shot for giving me somewhat panicked but completely practical advice." 🤦
