“So we have to join your Imperium? Well tell your Emperor...” *Nightlords tap thier foot and titans point thier guns* “That we gladly accept his lordship!”

What's more devastating than a Titan? The price charged for them.

Tau:We have big boxy mech units that we use to carry the big guns! Imperium: Our big boxy mech units carry the big guns AND EVEN BIGGER MELEE WEAPONS! #EmperorsRAGEGASM

The Knights: When you want to be a Titan, but you're on a budget

There's a coincidence, the Knights show up on the planet with dragons

i lost it at the Adeptus M *inemineminemineminemine* echanicus part! Emperor protects you Arch

"I love Japanese 12-year olds" Arch 2017

7:55 - I can imagine them gathering lumber to the ancient Terran song that starts with "I'm a Lumberjack and I'm okay, I sleep all night and I work all day."

Really Arch? I thought controlling the sisters was simply a matter of pointing at the enemy and shouting "HERETIC!", and then promptly stepping out of the way.

Just remember when talking about Imperial knights: Knights are one of those old things is new again that GWS seems to do. Originally Imperial Knights were part of Epic: 40k back in Ye Olden Days of the eighties, including the old Derpy Magnus model. Then in 2014 GWS came to the realisation that Mecha kinda sold pretty well with the Tau and brought the old models back as new models because no sane person would pay a 1000 euro for a full Mars Warlord Titan Model. Because the new lore is still being fleshed out and because the knight models sell pretty good the lore is still being fleshed out. .... Now just give us our Plastic Sisters, GWS

I can't help but think of Imperial Knights as 40k's Space Bretonnians.

Back in my day Arch's proper lore vids didn't require 100k subs.

Imperial knights....basically a baby titan with wee little boom boom weapons.

"God-bothering frock wearers" I just love your descriptive formulations , top notch stuff!

About time arch!! The God-Emperor also healed that Knight by merely saying, "Machine, heal thyself." And putting his hand on it.

what are you talking about the sisters of battle are really easy to control just point them in a direction with a command "Heretics over there burn-their-arse"

Right now, the Emperor smiles upon us.

'EY BOYZ! LOOKIT DAT KNIGHT FING! .... .... IMMA LOOT IT!!

9:25 "Born to rule" etc. etc. "I was chosen by heaven; ♫ Say my name when you pray To the ski---ies; See Carolus rise!♪"

We need a combination of a Primaris Space Marine, an Imperial Knight and a Custodian.

"Half naked woodcutters in flannel shirts with axes over their shoulders" Going full commando are they?

FOR ULRIC AND THE WHITE WOLF!! oh, wait wrong universe

Knights: for when you wanted a tank, but not a crew. I think my favorite addition is that of a coaxial cannon by the head.

"I love mechs as much as the next guy but that control system is beyond silly." cough cough, Tau, cough cough...

I can imagine this situation: Astarte: Hey you metal scrap, go out there and clean those green shits. Knight: * Pulls our its activated chain sword towards the astarte * WhAt DiD yoU SAiD?! Astarte: Sorry my precious lord. Best friend of the emperor and honor of humanity. Could you please with your mighty mechanicus horse of war, cleanse the infection we all know as the green skin orks? We know that those green skins are not clean and glamours enough for you my lord. But unfortunately we are struggling to survive. As your peasant I pray you to help us in this glorious battle which the emperor will invite you to another great night of royal meals if we win this battle. Knight: Consider it done my peasant. BUT I WANT THAT MANiCuRE SESSION INMEDiATLy after battle。

The repair the Emperor did was a "miracle"... He just put his hands on the joint and said "machine, heal yourself" and the machine was repaired. nevertheless great video. Thumbs up!

Me, "hey KZfaq! would you mind releasing this video at 16.00 my time so i can go stare at Michael Wittmann's tank in steel division for the rest of the day?" Sure! says KZfaq.... 5h afther 16.00 i pop on to check the comments only to realise that KZfaq took that request as a LITERAL request rather then the veiled order i meant it as...

There is just no better 40K wordsmith out there than Arch. "Without even the smell of lube." It's all in the delivery. 🤣

A very happy 100k, Arch! Thanks for keeping me entertained on my long trips to college and back. I'm so glad I found this channel. Keep doing what you're doing man, the Emperor wills it!

Awww i feel so special,thank you Arch

I remember archs first video...now he is at 100k... well done arch. I love this channel

Congrats Arch, keep the 40k lore and salt comming!

How much incense and prayer was used to make those mecha? | 18:20 - Did you just make a hentai reference?! | Where the Sisters of Battle can be pointed in the general direction of the objective and all others should get out of the way after shouting "HERETIC!".

this just makes me want an adeptus mechanicus video from you of course with your by now trademark obsession to detail and extreme video length. by the omnissiah it would be glorious!

I never get tired of Arch saying the words "Massive Fuck-off Chainsword".

Knights are cooler than Space Marines. Fite me.

Congrats on 100k dude, you are an acquired taste (no insult meant) but that is your usp, I like you frank honesty and you actually know your shit when you make an argument. Here's to 200k. Best of luck

I can personally see how the Adeptus Mechanicus could claim that the knights were origionally sent by them, it could give them a certain "grounded claim" for the mechanicum to beleive that the knightly houses belonged to them.

Que Pacific Rim theme song and enjoy! Awesome lore vid Arch.

i was surprised when i read the 100k special part since i-for whatever reason-thought arch had alot more subs

congratz on 100k milestone

I just found your channel recently, and I'm really diggin these in-depth lore videos, WH40K is an underated game with an even further underated lore behind it. Thank you ARCH.

Ohhhh one of my favorite topics ^_^

I have mentioned it before on another of your vids, but i totally love your understatements. This seems to fit well with Warhammer 40k in general, bringing your AND WH40k´s humor to shine.

Tau: Big ass mechs to carry big ass guns. Imperium: Bug ass mechs to carry big ass guns AND melee Weapons.

Arch could you do a video on the varies servitors?

Hey Arch, If you get time, you should do a lore video on the absence of sucsessor chapters from the salamanders. You could also cover the alleged successors, black dragons in it as well if you needed more rant.

Another Awesome video Arch! You are by far the best Warhammer/Warhammer 40k Lore Master on KZfaq since Ever... Big Fan, Keep It Up Mate. 👍

Hell yeah! I love the longer videos. I sometimes have difficulty falling asleep but the sound of Arch's voice knocks me right out. Sometimes those 9-14 min ones don't get the job done & i'm tired of all the old long ones

I absolutely love your vids!!! I love your input unlike most lore Vids that just give cold hard lore! Helped inspire me to make my own warhammer lore vids. Keep it up!! Thank you!

This was a great video. Thanks for the years you have devoted to this hobby.

are there any knights that has been claimed by chaos? and it seems that all the races have similar suits/mechs

Awesome lore video and perfect timing Arch, I just purchased a Crusader Knight for my Imperial forces.

Knights are one of my favorite things in terms of recent additions to the lore/setting.

I really looked forward to this episode and it was a fabulous one.

A happy milestone to you, Arch. I look forward to your 500,000 special.

@3:31 a earth federation you say? with giant robots you say? making colonies you say? no wonder things went to shit.

Congrats on 100k Arch. Well bloody done mate!

Awesome full of detail as always my dude good job

great video Arch, and congratulations for reaching 100k :D

it would be a mix of both - knights being pre fall and after fall products - so yes mechanicus would make SOME knight worlds but most of them would be pre-fall era. Machine like a knight would be extremaly usefull - from land clearing to surface mining, carrying loads on hostile terrain and ofc - defence itself.

Grats on 100K! You're the man Arch.

A very happy 100k, Arch!

a lot easier to control than the sisters? many a lost relic of the imperium was 'found' in enemy territory by commanders when the sisters are in need of momentum. although getting them off the point afterwards can be quite the quest.

Good stuff!!! An awesome follow up imho would be a video in which you talk about the major knightly houses as they are interesting indeed.

This was the best thing that Gee-Dubbs have released in recent history. Someone was really on the ball when they thought up these magnificent machines for the New40K.

Congratulations on 100k Arch!

Great video and congratz on 100k looking forward for more lore!

I have great appreciation for your lore videos sir.

A big congratulations on reaching 100.000 subscribers! May the Glory of Archen Hunter forever be on the rise!

This is simply Superb, well done @Arch ❕ 🥂👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻

The freeblade game is awesome

Aaah, I love it when I see a 40K lore vid comes out on your channel :D

Your Videos are always a pleasure to watch and listen to

Well done Arch! I've been subscribed since the middle of last year.

kick ass arch congrats many youve earned it

Arch great video. congrats on 100k

Finally a lore vid WITHOUT bgm. Thanks!

super cool onslaught for steamrolling enemy armies and fortifications

I was hoping for more info on the various Knight types, patterns, and variants, but this was rather informative and entertaining.

arch Warhammer, you should do a lore video on Ollanious Pious, the random guardsmen that gave his life for the emperor in his duel aboard Horus' flagship

anyone play freeblade on aos its a pretty good game

congrats your channel is fantastic and knights are ass kickers of the highest order bravo dude

I love knights, probably my favorite unit in Warhammer.

Also some loadouts are simply op as fuck in the tabletop!

Couple things: I thought the forward head mounted titans were all post-golden age. Like they didn't start doing that until the war against the men of Iron changing their tech to avoid A.I. My theory is that machine spirits are based on animals instead of men, to limit their reasoning capacity (but provide easy instincts)and every animal (nonprimate) body type they used for machine spirits has a horizontal head, relative to body. Also: Half-naked woodcutters with flannel shirts would mean the shirts were the half clothed part... think about it a sec.

36:40 I had been really getting into the Legions TCG as I was a Hearthstone fan...But then I found Freeblade... It's a 3rd person over the shoulder on-rails shooter. It has a few camera bugs, and the maps are not the most varied, but for a smartphone game that's to be expected. But it's free to play, and the monetization is actually quite minimal in that it gives a fair amount of premium currency in dailys, quest rewards, and PvP/competitions. It doesn't have true PvP, but it does have psuedo-Pvp in that the computer controls another players knight and you are both dropped into an arena full of enemies where the knight who wreaks the most havoc gets to strike first every 30 seconds or so when they charge each other in melee combat, while still being able to damage the opponent while they stomp around the arena in havoc mode. Shields are proactive in that indicators will flash from enemies drawing on the knight that must be countered and it has a set number of charges depending on equip. with which to negate an attack that recharge over time. Each knight has 6 equipment slots (Carapace, pauldrons, legplates, chestplate, helm, and Ion shield) along with 4 weapon slots (Main, melee, small arm, and back mount) with most of the 40K arsenal accounted for. (Battle cannons, thermal cannons, gatling cannons, lightning cannons, stubbers, melta guns, autocannons, missle pods, rocket launchers, chainswords, and power fists. Each with modest advantages/disadvantages so it doesn't feel like the Pokemon type system where if you pick wrong you lose...Heraldry and sigils can also be added to your fully customizable paint job to alter stats... There are also competitions between players with set loadouts that "Re-create historical events" as well as THREE different daily rewards and ways to wait or throw a little currency or watch an ad to improve your odds...(The only ad I can recall other than you might get one every 5-10 missions and can choose to watch one to get free temporary "Boons") The PvE is however only against Orks and Chaos which is disappointing, but I never cease to have fun blasting squads of boyz into pulp with a single cannon shot, mowing down a line of chaos marines with a stubber, or slicing a walking garbage can in half, then kicking it to the curb... My freeblade is DireVengance (yeah, i know, there is a character limit) and I hope to one day meet you in glorious battle!

Fantasy Knights: Noblemen in steel plate and greatswords. 40k Knights: Big ass mecha suits with guns the size of cars.

All hail Arch, IT SHOULD BE MENTIONED that IN ALL PROBABILITY he is a VERY, VERY nice man, AFTER ALL. May he COVER ALL THESE SEPARATELY IN DUE COURSE with MANY, MANY VAIRAYANTS.

Grats Arch!

Arch.... bro u do the best lore vids. Keep up the good work.

I love the lore, but I can definitely state that bipedal motion is about as mechanically complex as it gets for a way of transportation. I remember trying to get a robot with 4 legs to work in my mechanical engineering program in college was awful, and that doesn't need to balance like bipeds do.

Congrats arch

We fucking love you Arch!

Congratulations on 100k subs Arch

Superb lore narration.

ok ok, now i have the moust important question of all time, what happend to the old music you used to have? i miss the hammer pounding the mettal

Cool vid. Congratulations on 100k

hope ya hit 200k arch! and soon

Nice vid once again, Optimus Arch. I once heard the first Knights were build from Space Ships on which colonists arrived on the world. If a world proven to be very hostile, they would take the ship apart and build Knights using energency blueprints kept expecially for that eventuality. That would explain why the Knights themselves have some universal structural weaknesses.
