"Aka that thing would never fucking fly." *And the Thunderhawk would?*

*emperor wakes up* -WHERE THE FUCK IS MY ARMOR!?!?

the bane of terminator armor. Stairs

"[The Crux Terminatus] is a badge of honor marking someone out as worthy of wearing tactical dreadnought armor..." Because apparently the fact that your wearing the armor is not enough of a clue that you are, in fact, worthy of wearing the armor.

"According to all known laws of aviation, a storm raven should not be able to fly!" I believe in you storm raven! Bee all you can bee!

the Grey Knights may have enough Terminator armour to outfit their entire Chapter however they're a special case. Close ties to the Inquisition, a home base near Mars and the most dangerous job in the galaxy.

“Highly inaccurate, exceptionally ugly and very heavy on the Boom Boom” That is the best Storm Bolter description I´v ever heard! :-)

you know there is something wrong when space marines in full terminator armor are more agile than the eldar.

The thing about it having a piece of the Emperor's armour could be a misinterpretation of Terminator armour being based on the same technology the Emperor's own armour used. But because this has been forgotten, they simply say it has a piece of the Emperor's own armour in every one.

The terminator faceplate always reminded me of a lion's face for some reason.

I sure do love my Tactical Dreadnought armour

19:26 "Terminators are ridiculously accurate even at extremely long ranges as they are capable of not only accurately aiming at a target but also automatically account for things like gravity, humidity, wind direction, and the ballistic capabilities of the weapon." - I'll keep that in mind next time one of my Assault Battle-Brothers missed a point-blank shot in a Space Hulk corridor aiming at a Genestealer xD . (well, the Genestealers are probably dodging around but it's still kinda funny)

Being trapped inside a terminator armor even happened to an iron warriors warlord in one of the black library books. He was fighting a orc waaghboss when his terminator armor was remotely shut down by a traitorous warsmith. He could not move anymore and the waaghboss simply "peeled" him out of his armor and slaughtered him in a most shamefull way.

Terminators: Kind of like little walking tanks with bad attitudes. Awesome.

The Stormravens ability to fly derives from the fact that they have a little bit of the Emperors breath pumped in to the spaced armor.

I love how easy Blahd Ravens losing their Termies left and right in DOW games (especially DOW2). In "reality" a single loss of such a unit must cause a loyalist commander to shit more bricks than Slaanesh ass can accomodate.

My Explanation For the Crux Terminatus: Chapter Master: Priest why can´t you make all the armor as thought as the Crux? AdMech: Uuuuuuuuhhhhh It´s because it has a holy fragment of the his holiness armor, you are blessed and unique and we lowly AdMech can only make small quantities of Cruxes. Chapter Master: Yes the EMPERORS, Holiness saints... (leaves the room chanting gospels) AdMech: Idiot, now back to over-designing Titans :)

So your telling me that terminators can't run 100 mph then kill a shit ton of eldar? I think relic got this right!

in original lore the armour was based upon heavy industrial workers suits for use inside things like plasma (?) generators.

Stormshields were the bane of my life when i played 40K

Someone got triggered by the dow3 trailer

I really want to see a dedicated Imperial Guard fps game. I don't know why but I think it would be fun in a challenging kind of way.

The "I believe I can fly" part killed me :D

Bring me my centurion.

Hearing Arch say, "Whoop-Ass", might be the best part of my morning.

I am surprised that you can make a half hour video about Terminator Armor.

The Stormraven is like the Spaceshuttle, yes the control surfaces are to small but it flies anyway. I think the Empire took a good long look at ork tech and decided "You dont need to know how it works, as long as it does". Or put a large enough engine on something and it will fly.

Arch - you are simply the best warhammer KZfaqr in the market! Keep it going bro XD

3 years later...now we can see the smartass starting to come. Out....cheers from October 2019!! Keep up the awesome work!!

When he speaks i often imagine Arch as a well dress gentleman with a big moustache sitting on a chair next to a fireplace.

About the Crux Terminatus and the piece of the Emperor's armor. You don't need to infuse finger size chunks into the item. Scraping a few molecules off would be sufficient and could last for millions of suits. You could probably get away with the same if it was on the nano scale level which is something even we're capable of doing today.

Would you mind doing a video on actual dreadnoughts?

This whole thing makes me think, that tripping these guys over would be really effective. :P

please do a video like this about the even heavier Centurion Armour

Just recently got in the 40k universe and have been binging lore videos for the past few days. Out of the few channels I've watched, yours by far has the highest quality.

thank you for clearly explaining this aspect of 40k. you are very well-spoken and its nice to see someone giving a solid explanation of the rabbit hole that is 40k. hats off to u brother

Uncle Arch's story time! Yay! (x2)

The original Tactical Dreadnought Suits where created for scrapping, aka cleaning, out plasma reactors from within. Well, that was stated in the WH40k Compendium in the 80´s. ;)

That was thoroughly fascinating. I don't normally pay careful attention to KZfaq but I watched that video all the way from start to finish. Thanks for sharing this information.

Great video Arch, your expressionism is what makes your videos, love listening to you please keep them coming. 👍

Hey Arch, Id love to hear a video of the history of the table top game itself, when was 40k introduced? when where different races introduced etc etc. thanks and keep it up!

I got to run now, I will leave this pure uncut cocaine open for when I come back.

Great sum of information! keep up the awesome work dude

oh god Arch you made me fall out of my chair laughing about the "Brick"

genestealers will still one shot them :D

Could you do a video on the Tankth first and only? That would be awesome!

Watching from the viewport, he shielded his eyes as the Ultramarine's battle barge core went critical, blinding light escaping from the jigsaw of ruptures spreading across its hull. As his eyes adjusted, the Crimson Fist thought: "They can afford it."

Loving these lore vids!!! Know im justtt a tinnny bit late to the channel and videos but dam im hooked on your 40k playlist!!

Also please do a Centurion war plate too, please?

Every so often, I take a look at whats going on in the 40k universe. Today, I discovered that GM have introduced Space Marine Centurions. WFT?? Surely we are starting to overload the levels of armour? Madness.

about time you made another video!!! looking forward to more

Thank you so much do your awesome lore videos. Your stories have been my bed time stories and I love them. Remind me of being a kid again haha

Anyone ever notice that there are ALOT of Chaos Marines with Terminator armor?

Would love to see some Arch Space Hulk gameplay after hearing this :)

I am not used to sitting through such a long video, especially on youtube..but you give a good piece of 40k lore so it's all rather interesting :)

"The Stormbolter is what would happen if a Saiga-12 fucked a Mk19" Time Index about 10:00 Pretty accurate actually....

Im Laughing so hard now... CUZ GABRIEL ANGELOS CAN'T JUMP LIKE RABBIT IN FULL TERMINATOR PLATE lol

As an new guy to this fantastic universe i just want to thank you for all lore you have released here on youtube. I greatly appreciate it. Thank you

For some strange reason I just thought of a bunch of marines hiding waiting for a first company elite to come home for a surprise birthday party and seeing a missile blow up the land raider he was driving to get home and one of the marines just turning to the rest and saying in the most exasperated voice possibe "Damnit. Now he's gonna be late."

Questioning the authenticity of the Crux Terminatus? That's a blamming.

Not trying to be that guy, but bolter rounds are 19mm low-velocity AP explosive two stage propellant rounds. Not 40mm grenades, they are way fucking cooler. Heavy bolters like those used by imperial guard heavy bolter teams, devastator astartes squads, and those mounted on certain vehicles are 25.4mm.

Love these lore vids some people just list info but you just make them so much funnier xD

Love your videos, your sarcasm and wit are legendary lol.

Arch, you mentioned 40mm bolt rounds. Well, that's the calliber I would expect for stadard space marine bolters based on the models and artwork. I am just curious as to why GW hasn't retconed the whole .75 calliber for standard bolters and 1.00 calliber for heavy bolters. It is simply obvious that these numbers are false (at least for space marine weapons). Would it be too hard for them to release a comparison between imperial bolt weapons? I mean like, "The space marines use these bolters.., the SoB..., the Comissars... other imperial officials... the Inquisition...".

where do the space marine store all their ammo. it seems hard to stack that many clips anywhere

loved ya reference to a saiga 12 and a mark19 making gun babies haha. Keep up the good work mate

this is the best lore of termi armor I've seen yet. also I can explain crux terminatus having a piece of the emporers armor primarchs who died had there armor also used this means sanguineus and the others it makes up for the unreasonable amount of pieces. keep it up m8t.

And the centurion? marine space inside an space marine kkkkkkkkkk

If i had to decide between the finest tailored tuxedo or a Terminator Power Armor, i would like to have my armor in anthrazite color with deep red markings. By the way, i can´t find that vid about Terminator armor types on your channel, have i missed it or is that not yet finished?

Your way of explaining things is just auditorily delicious.

Your intro reminded me of the good old days of the history channel.

the thunderhammer also only works its energy field upon impact as well. and u also missed that terminator armor is uncomfortable to wear for super extended time. could you also do a Dreadnought video please!?!

0/10, no backflipping Mary Sues found.

mechanicus cleric: *hits blunt* "what if we put more armour in the armour?"

That was some funny shit right there!! Keep it up man.

Dawn of war 2 styled the way Terminator armour works really good. Slowly smashing through wall barriers, just walking like a living tank especially if you put a hero in it. I don't blame Arch getting pissy at the Dawn of War 3's moba styled jump, it's quite frankly ridiculous.

Hey could you do a video on Killa kans and deff dreads?

Me: Tactical dreadnought? What tactic? Arch: Bigger hammer theory

The shear sarcasm in your videos is gold. Never change

Arch, could you do a video about ww2 general tank usage and tactics??

God I love that, "If a Saiga12 fucked a Mk19." I loved my old Mk19, so many people hated her, they just didn't understand, she was my sugar momma.

I laughed my ass off = ) how did the cat so fat? "the flying brick" such an funny episode... Well done!

i love thwese videos, keep upp the good work

Can you do a video on regular and venerable dreadnaughts?

Now I want GW to f*ck up more stuff so I can get more of these good stuff more often...

Love your stuff man.

I love your videos. Thank you :)

Pretty sure my iPad case is made out of Terminator armour-my iPad has never broken despite being dropped multiple times amongst other things over the course of four years.

Well, Dawn of War III didn’t pay attention to the fluff here...

"...and very heavy on the boom-boom" best description of a storm bolter ever xD

“Boatload of terminator butt sex via land raider vehicles”....thats so awesome and scary at the same time.... 🤣

I only wish real world history was that fun, I would have become a historian for sure.

Why don't they take XCOM's approach and make a WH40K turn based game?

Storm shield and thunder hammer, and lightning claws where special honors that had to be earned

Thanks for this awesome vid man :)

All well and good but it will still get shredded by genestealers

terminator armor why you so silly XD

Thank you for this wonderful video i have really been looking forward to it and as always it was a delight to watch as i fan i have a request i would love to see a video about the more or less basic weapons of each faction like say 3-5 weapons that a most commenly seen on the battlefields of each faction and see how they compare to each other in some sort of rating im sure you could pull off a great video with that but im not telling you what to do as your doing great already but i would love it anywho great work as always keep up the good work and carry on :)

keep doing what you do ;,D i love this!

One of my biggest pet peevs with 40K is stuff like this. The constant "this is really powerful but theres only a handful of them left/the technology is lost/it takes too long to build". Like I get that that's the whole part of the imperium, Technology and building things is just as much religious ritual as it is science. Theres what, over a million planets in the imperium? im sorry NOTHING is too steep in resources when you have that much material and man power to call on. You could dedicate 10,000 worlds to terminator, dreadnought, titan, whatever production and the imperium wouldn't even feel it. If shit like terminator armours so good mass produce it. If its too costly or the technology is lost (which is bullshit) make an alternative. Why is there only a million space marines?? The population of the imperium must be obscene there would be so many candidates. OR if the procedure is too expensive again and not enough subjects survive why not make another, lesser superhuman programme. A middle ground between super soldier and grunt guardsmen. like spartan IVs in halo. Something that's cheap and doesn't kill most candidates. A real human imperium would have done this by now. IN short, the imperium should have won ages ago. AND yes I get that most of 40K is deliberately laid out by GW to be a stalemate so the story can continue. AND I get that this stuff is true of the other races too I just get more annoyed with the space marine side. Just something that's always bothered me.
