It's sad that thanks to GW we will probably never get fan animations like that again.

    Skerral stopped in his tracks, and pulled the men up. Half his unit were dead. He ejected a cell from his lasrifle and slammed in a new one.
    "Come on," he said, turning back to face down the slope at the waves of assault sweeping in. "Let's see how many we can kill."
    The remnants of nineteenth lasted seventeen minutes from the times the gates closed. They accounted for one hundred and eight-nine enemy casualties. No one witnessed their heroism."

    'You have been most blackly deceived'
    Unlike the Astartes and Primarchs the Ten-Thousand know exactly how Chaos may tempt, deceive, entice and utterly corrupt and damn any person. The line speaks to the anger, dissapointment and rage of the Custodian, but also his pain and sadness on seeing his one Word Bearer friend fall so utterly and completely....forever a Slave to Darkness.

    During a Black Crusade, Blood Angels Chaplain Thalastian Jorus and the remnants of what was left of the Blood Angels strike force (Mainly only the Death Company elements and the ones who had fallen to the curses of their chapter during the fighting) racked up enough of a Black Legion body count to lure out Abaddon and his honor guard, and crush through them, enough to kill all of the Honor Guard with Jorus himself wounding Abbadon so severely he had to quit the field and retreat. Jorus and his stark raving mad battle-brothers all died to the last, but when the Imperial relief forces made planetfall cleaning up the Black Legion's retreat, they found a killing field of dead Astartes, each with their gene mutilated except for Jorus and his Death Company, their corpses seated on thrones made from the armor and bodies of the foes they had slain.

    The war within the webway deserves a mention. It was absolutely insane. It started when Magnus destroyed the Emperors wards whilst trying to tell him of the heresy. This caused the golden throne to malfunction and the terra webway gate to be prematurely opened. Over 5 years the Custodes lost 90% of their number and the Sisters of Silence were almost wiped out trying to hold chaos at bay. Eventually the Emperor was able to seal the gate shut but it takes a tremendous amount of strength to hold it in place. If the Emperor ever dies the webway gate will open and flood Holy Terra with the denizens of the warp.

He fought with such bravery at Hive Hades, it made the orks fear after he beheaded an ork commander and he even took his power klaw and had it replaced for his missing right arm that had been cut off from the elbow down. He is a legend and deserves his place as commissar. But it’s rumored that he is dead.

Her advise was respected by Guilliman a lot (and some other space marines too) or the woman that was alongside Corax since the moment he was out of his gestation capsule (Nasturi Ephrenia was her name i think)

    I rarely comment on videos in general so first off thank you Majorkill for all the entertaining spins on 40K lore. I would be interested in a video listing the successor chapters of Dark or Blood Angels, what makes their successors so different from each other (aside from color schemes and the Lamenters being literally cursed)? What separates Angels Vermilion from the Flesh Tearers or the Consecrators from the Angels of Redemption?

    @FRAAANKYSUUUPER Před rokem +2

    The first last stand that pops into my mind is Aun'shi the Tau Ethereal taking on a never needed mass of orks and slowly but surely losing nearly all his men, he used choke points like doorways best he could and beast moded them all in glorious melee combat. Eventually only one defensible building was left with him guarding the entrance to it.
    He wasn't allowed to retire after that.

    • @FRAAANKYSUUUPER
      @FRAAANKYSUUUPER Před rokem

      I guess it's not really a last stand if you survive but it's just miraculous that they did. For intents and purposes the Tau thought it was. If you're down to your last "safe" spot, that's pretty last standy...

    one of my favorite last stands is the blood ravens against and entire tendril of Levithan the knowing they die with the hive it showed that they were willing to let their chapter die so the system could live one (they thought the liberation fleet was destroyed) it stands as a moment of marine and guardsmen heroism as you listen to your remaining chapter brothers die and release the last few to fight with you. Of course your saved and you find victory but it was well built in the story and was awsome.

    Just want to state for the record that that is NOT what happened with the Astral Knight Chapter, that is what the Imperium THINKS happened. What really happened was a large, powerful, and very pissed off C’tan shard was accidentally let free by the chapter and destroyed the World Engine, literally tearing it apart to make itself a new body. It killed the Necron Lord in charge while he begged for his life. That C’tan shard left after nearly single handedly destroying the world engine, leaving to go out into space to attack more Necrons.

  • @TheBeardedCaveman884
    @TheBeardedCaveman884 Před rokem +1

    Helsreach is my favourite 40k book, it's also my first, but I totally watched the animation first, and it's also the reason I care at all about warhammer.
    Aside from all that though, I love the subtle storytelling in Helsreach. There's the obvious siege aspect, which is interesting in it's own right as most war-stories are about assaulting the enemy, but there's the duel character growth for Grimaldus. The first is the main one, slowly pulling that astartes stick out of his ass and coming to respect his fellow Imperial warriors, the Guardsmen, punctuated by his last conversation with Andrev and asking him if he found that woman he wanted to marry.
    There's the other one though, the one where Grimaldus comes into his own as a Templar. He was a great warrior beforehand, for certain, but he wasn't "Black Templar". The book starts with him throwing a temper tantrum about being a sacrifice to hold a city, instead of dying in glorious combat with Helbrecht, then he acts like a brat by taking total control over the city and spending weeks lording over everyone else. He should have listened to their reports, taken in the information, and let the guardsmen command their own. Instead of acting as a Templar warrior, he acted like a politician. He's not an ultramarine and his brothers, especially Primus, worked to remind him of that.
    Lastly, the fact that a successor chapter to the Imperial Fists, the Praetorian's of Terra and Siegemasters of the Imperium, was upset with being told to hold a city in Siege warfare, but still did so masterfully, despite their contrasting modern tactics, is just icing on the ironic cake. Helbrecht knew exactly what he was doing, reminding Grimaldus of where the Templar started, why they do what they do in combat, and why they fight. All in a little miniature of the Siege of Terra.
    EDIT: And this has been my impromptu essay about the characters and themes in "Helsreach" by Andrew Dembski-Bowden, thank you.
