Can you make me top comment please

Hey wes,do you think that purges should be initiated on imperium hive cities to reduce the population thus reducing poverty and disease spread?

If you do a part 3, may I suggest radium weaponry. Like the radium carbine of the Skitarii Vanguard basically a gun that fires nuclear byproducts at the enemy. Not only do the guns meet the typical 40K standard of overkill but they leave the armor and bodies of their users so contaminated that just being around Vanguard can cause potentially lethal radiation sickness. The Vanguard are supposed to be protected from the radiation in their armor but any Vanguard seen without their helmet has the Tell-Tale loss of both hair and teeth that goes along with chronic radiation poisoning.

Hi Wes. Can you cover the impact that TTS has had on the 40K franchise?

Hey Wes, can you do a video explaining Sigmar? I don't know where to start with warhammer fantasy or AOS but Sigmar seems interesting. He seems more reasonable than the emperor of mankind and has a personality.

A Blank Astartes (if such could exist) would be such a OP demon killer. Recruitment would be interesting …

since demons cant be near those assassins its going to be hard to shoot them

@@ashardalondragnipurake you don’t shoot demons though. It does less damage.

@@casbot71 I believe that the protagonist of the Space Marine games is rumoured to be a blank.

and i thought eversaur was the coolest assassin interesting

*Just as planned.*

He can never win because it means he will always lose because all his plans conflict each other.

Ohh that’s where sseth gets his name from.

@@Toneill029 he doesn't really want to win, in fact. Victory would mean the end of plans, the conclusion, and those are things he does not like at all.

@@doggycake5598 That is true, then why play the game at all?

im sure thats where the idea came from

I remember from Stronghold games where you can throw a rotten cow via catapult or trebuchet, it act like some sort poison bomb

The phrase "Don't shoot the messenger" actually comes from the practice of launching a messenger with a catapult (or similar siege device like trebuchets) when they deliver a message that.... wasn't received well by the sieging army. I always used to think it meant literally "don't shoot the messenger with a gun/bow". This is obviously not a good diplomatic move. If you murder everyone who comes to try and talk things out, the other side will quickly realize "These people are monsters, we cannot reason with them." This typically will affect the defending population in one of two major ways- it may actually HARDEN THE RESOLVE of the defenders. If they know they will be flayed alive if their castle/fortress is stormed and taken, they will fight ferociously, likely to the death- this is bad for BOTH SIDES. An enemy that has resolved to fight to the death is perhaps the most dangerous you could encounter, and you will risk lives dealing with this. The other typical effect tactics like this had would tend to favor the besiegers. Obviously, morale would be affected terribly if you sent a Knight out to go and try to bargain with your attackers, find a way to resolve this without fighting/starving, and suddenly the Knight you sent out COMES CRASHING THROUGH SOME POOR BASTARD'S CEILING, it may plant seeds for a mutiny. If enough of the civilians (or even soldiers) in the besieged city decide "We don't want this", they can rather easily swarm the palace, murder the leader who is refusing to surrender the castle, and then surrender and hope for good treatment. I imagine they rarely got good treatment in cases like that....

I main necrons this edition. They are WAY better than last edition..m necron snipers!....24 inch range.... But ya, they are still outclassed by every other sniper

That is just the nature of the game. I mean, in lore Custodes are demi-gods of war who can individually battle entire armies to a standstill. On Tabletop, they can get killed by Gretchen with shivs

@_*ZAPATOZ*_ No, Orks are fun because they are the only faction in the whole setting who are straight up *having fun!* . Orks are just finding things to fight for the joy of fighting them, hooning around on ultra-customized vehicles, having eating contests, where the things they eat are trying to eat them back and all around just living their best lives. For everyone else, its about the grim struggle to hold their own in a terrifying and hostile universe. For Orks, its about punching that hostile universe in the junk and laughing at it.

I wonder if the Necron Gauss Flayer/Reaper can also function in reverse? I.e. in combat it flays a target layer by layer, but when not in combat the 'weapon' can be used to print Necrontech as needed. It would be slower than the flaying mode, but there is much more time available when not in combat.

Same kind of thing as the guard lasgun.

WesHammer , I just want to say that I truly like your videos and they that got me in the lore/facts of War Hammer either funny or dark thank you . Before I go this video I found a couple days ago on the warhammer factions is funny, I hope this will give you a chuckle : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bpOPa6yWmsWng2Q.html

I knew he cloned Fulgrim and Horus but Horus was killed by Abbadon due to the clone not being as powerful as the OG. Fulgrim is the only successful cloned primarch because it has the soul of the original Fulgrim. Currently he’s in Trazyn’s collection after Fabius traded him for more Geneseed

@@evanlight2550 That is hilariously sad. "You saved me!" Fabius: "Yeh. Neeed some more geneseed, Trazyn'll like you." Fulgrim: :[

That's correct

He cloned fabius and gave that perfect clone away so it catches dust in a stasis field like a pokemon in the collection of a metal bodied hoarder

one of the haemonculus covens keeps a seat open for him

​@@bladestormviking they really are like "this mon keigh alright"

@@bladestormviking No, you are confusing him with Urien Rakarth. Fabius Bile studied under the Coven of Thirteen Scars who liked his potential. Compared to them he was still a massive noob though. But when he returned to real space and began teaching his acolytes what he had learned in Commorragh, the Coven attacked him, killed his students and did brain surgery on him making it impossible for him ever to repeat to anyone what they had taught him, not wanting their knowledge to be spread without their consent.

I mean according to War of the spider, Fabius is a unnatural charming person

Honestly if chaos or the imperium gave Fabius all he needed resource and space he would end the long war

Emperor's Children: "There goes Fabius again..."

M2 Proverb: "Spare the rod, spoil the child" M41 Proverb: "Punish the rod, torture the child"

this is why i love warhammer 40k lore

We blew up your planet because we didn't like what you did. Then we took chunks of your planet put it in artillery shells so we can use it to blow up other people that we don't like what they did. Only on Warhammer. Also can you image the look of horror on a dark eldars face of you fired quake rounds at them with rounds taken from a planet you destroyed because it had Tyranids were on it. Haha we killed you with dead bug screams.

Agreed 100%! This is actually a part two. I included the harlequins kiss in the first part

Mmmm...S O U P

What a 'super' idea for a gun

Gray knights: laughs in [redacted]

Did they win?

But what happened to the civilians?

@@TryHardCryHarder what the fuck do you think happened lmao. They are world eaters empowered by khornes martial prowess.

I guess it’s only painful and dark when the Necron misses.

Imagine what that feels like, knowing your friend is suffering a fate worse than death because some dumbass didn’t aim correctly.

If it was that potent they would have killed themselves just from handling it and coating arrows in it 🗿 But probably makes for good poison either way.

@@drizzziit1 It did kill some of them, that’s why not every one could make, handle, or use the arrows in combat. You had to have been a warrior for years.

@@acephas3 Doesn't seem too handy for warfare then if only elite could safely use it. I guess for assasins it could be fine but with that smell? Idk, a bit overkill.

@@drizzziit1 No, it was widely used because the Scythians were a well-trained fighting force. Not to mention, they used guerrilla tactics as well as open-field warfare.

@@acephas3 I was always taught that easy to use and mass produced weapons were the best for any army. Good for them tho.

The 5th Ed Dark Eldar codex stated that the artist gained a great deal of praise for "perfectly capturing the expressions of fear and pain" on his "statues," so it does sound like the glass plague takes a few minutes to work.

I remember a descriftion of a Plasma Weapon in Mass Effect that basically said "The Energy used to create the Beam could be used to fire several Hypersonic rounds"

If it uses that much energy it probably needs to. This is 40k after all. I'd rather overkill a bunch of orks by being a bit energy inefficient than to not kill them enough and have a whole new WAAAAAGH on my planet in a few years. Same goes to Genestealer cults and other xeno monstrosities.

Well one thing we know about necron weaponry is that it's made from the same thing the necrons are made from, Necrodermis. It's not exactly metal but instead nano scarabs. Nano machines son. They probably manipulate matter and energy on a quantum level. The closest thing to that tech would be femto technology. Essentially nanites that are 10^-15m in size. Manipulating atoms beyond the subatomic level to the point that it looks like magic. Weaponizing the elementary particles to its bidding.

@williampg gois if it’s stronger it would need more than 1k energy

@@Seoul_Soldier well, im not talking about the absurdly destructive weapons, like the planet-killer torpedoes; those have a purpose in the context of Warhammer 40k. I mean the ones with over complicated functions, like the torsion cannon, or most of the Dark Eldar toys.

Bless you and the rest of the Reasonable Marines.

@@BirdyDive-Games May you be blessed as well, citizen.

Absolutely! They are on my list for future videos 😃

That's ok! I don't even play the game as much as I used to. But the books are cheap with audible and I listen to one every night before bed! They are great! No need to invest thousands of dollars in the game when you have the novels! That being said tho, I hear that table top sim has a great mod for 40k with a big online following

@@weshammer I'm super excited! And thank you for the suggestion, I'll definitely check it out 😁

I'm very partial to Baldermort if you've not seen his material

Plus their nature of how they culturally treat time. Trazyn taking action against a thief took a "scandalously fast" for Necron standards 12 years.

That's awesome to hear! Really happy to have you in the community my friend! The Horus heresy is a real treat! Those first 5 books are perfection!

Ya I have a hard time remembering the differences and end up using them interchangeably all the time 😅

@@weshammer no problem. I try to help and explain as much as I can about Warhammer. I started getting into it around 2019 with Luetin09 and feel like I have watched almost every Warhammer video and read so many r/40klore posts, but even now, there is so much that I feel like i have only touched the top 10%. So much lore for overpriced plastic.

Hey thanks a ton I really appreciate that. It means a lot to know you're rooting for me 😃

What’s that?

Was going to comment this, but saw yours first, so have a thumbs up. More glass plague facts for the curious: 1. The contagion is not a nanobot or Warp phenomena, it is actually a living microorganism that rapidly converts flesh to glass as part of its life cycle...somehow. In this sense, it is like bacteria. The exact evidence for this potentially spoils a plot point, readers can trust me on this. 2. While the Haemonculi were able to develop an inoculation, the plague tends to persist in a body instead of being eradicated. In the novels, it is assumed every Dark Eldar carries the glass plague, its effects barely kept in check by their immune system. In this sense, it is like a virus. 3. Now for speculation. The Dark City receives massive influxes of slaves and occasionally some visitors and none of them are affected by the plague. Dark Eldar tend to leave plenty of their own gore and viscera on foreign planets and none of them have become vitrified. I would guess that the plague is engineered to ONLY affect Dark Eldar. 4. Hexrifles likewise are almost certainly loaded with ammunition tailored to their targets. Whether or not the Haemonculi also engineered a killswitch to prevent a vitrified victim from infecting their own species and/or potential slaves is left as an exercise for the reader. 5. Anyone could try to develop a glass plague that circumvented the inoculation or another contagion that would threaten Commorragh. I would guess that Supreme Overlord Asdrubael Vect's enforcers have become extremely capable at preempting these efforts through utter obliteration, and only missed the glass plague because the perpetrator was a sculptor. 6. It is also entirely likely that the plague and its release was orchestrated by someone like Vect or Urien Rakarth in the first place. Perhaps to keep the Kabals even more indebted to Haemonculi Covens. I give it about a 50-50.

Well, they are used againt's marines. Fighting a tomb world just doesn't happen often.

the only thing that can kill a custodian is dumb plot

Space marines usually get their weapons/gear as rewards for their deeds. They are religious warrior monks after all , not pragmatic strategists. When they finish their scout marine days by distinguishing themselves they are designated to "devastator" squads. These squads use long range advanced weaponry , but the newly promoted marine would probably have just a bolter. This phase of his training makes them learn to control their rage. If they distinguish themselves here they will be designated into an assault squad , armed with a chainsword and a bolt pistol probably. Once they distinguish themselves here , they will be promoted to a tactical squad and given their standard gear. All of this could take the better part of a century. And only the chapter's veterans would have complete access to the chapter's armories. A "holy" bolter and a chainsword is usually more than enough to get their job done. There is also the possibility of people going traitor. Wich can mean your relic grade weapons falling into enemy hands etc..

Oh i completely misunderstood your question and explained why marines don't mass utilize these op weapons kekw

Emperor's children og chief apothecary is fabulous
