“Coward, commissar” gun shot

Hm, its lettering does kind of look a bit darker than the other names.

WE ARE THE EMPEROR'S BLADE! WE SHALL LIVE, AND WE SHALL DIE FOR *HIS* WILL, FOR WE BELONG, IN HIS IMMORTAL SHADOW! WE ARE THE IMPERIUM! SHIELS AND BLADE OF THE GOD-EMPEROR OF MANKIND! GLORY TO HIS WILL!

GOTHICCCC!!!

FOR THE EMPEROR OF MANKİND AND IMPERUM

That makes me sad

Though we fight in the name of the Emperor, and though we fight in defense of the Imperium, we die for our brothers.

Mann of Dober This is why the Imperium will withstand whatever chaos throws at it. Mankind will always find the courage to fight and to sacrifice in its most dire timed

Indrick Boreale maybe a homage to the Roman Empire? The Romans also never stopped.

@@mikelms20 Has anyone ever actually, SEEN the emperor?

@@stephenbyrne3909 In case you don't know: the Emperor died in M36 by the hand of one of his vat-created son, Horus Lupercal

@@Sir_Bucket m 31 and he is not dead mate

they deal nasty shit with the best of them. hive fleets. tomb fleets. being stuck while being boarding by chaos worshipers. and these are just some examples let alone the constant event horizon episodes everytime you travel

twiliblade questionning the supperiority of the imperial forces is heresy my friend,by prepared to recieve a "professional" visit from the inquisition

There is no grief for a life paid in the service of The Emperor.

Glorious sacrifice!

The moment I heard his words I burst into tears and I saluted him...

"It is better to die for the Emperor than to live for yourself."

Forevermore, by the Emperor's side.

Captain Abridal.

@@andrewfleming2074 Hero of the Imperium of Man

I thought he was annoying for mpst of the playthrough, and thought at some point he WILL turn heretic 😢

PURGE!

That part actually made me cry...

Abridal Remember that name for it is the name of one the many heroes of imperium!!!!!

May the Emperor preserve him and his crew.

That's sorta always how it goes for poor little Failbaddon. Seriously, if he weren't such a damn heretic and responsible for the shitty hellhole my Homeworld Cadia has become, I would almost feel sorry for him. Almost.

And the secret plan of the C'Tan Deceiver is accomplished (to destroy the Blackstone fortresses)

He still got away with a couple Blackstone fortresses, one causing the galaxy to be split in two when sent crashing down Cadia.

@@themetroidprime So Failbaddon the Armless has what? One Blackstone Fortress left?

@@alexandersturnn4530 It was less about his perceived failures and more about tenacity of a human spirit. Even when being outplayed by Abbadon, heroic and selfless sacrifice of a single cruiser at the crucial moment was all what it took to turn the tide of war for good.

Doesn't the CTan want to destroy the Warp and all entities having a soul ?

I’ve often wondered what kind of weapon could have been used by the Necron of old to break the C’tan into the Myriad shards of beings they are today. What could have that kind of power, to shatter apart beings that fed on the stars themselves? Perhaps the Blackstone fortresses are a glimpse into what kind of weapons were wielded during “the War in Heaven”... Weapons capable of destroying whole star systems at a time... and perhaps those that fed upon them?

@@Nobleheart111 They were made by eldar to kill the C'tan, not necron I don't think EDIT: typo

That wasn't my boi, Tzeentch? Hmm. Fuck. I think I'm underestimating the sneakiness, sir. Edit: It took me approximately 9 seconds to remember that Tzeentch is a damn dirty bird lookin bastard. With, like, 8 arms and 2 heads. Instead of just deleting this, imma leave it here, a testament to my temporary derptitude. And may The Master of Mankind judge me none too harshly...

with the orcs, chaos and tyranids the ctan might be a great weapon against those threats if they are tricked or directed into those threats. Let the void dragon go fight some hive fleets

*chills*

May the Emperor preserve him and his crew.

May the Emperor welcome his brave sons and daughters home to the Light!

But they all love the GOD EMPEROR OF MANKIND

Clay Pidgeon NEVER. No matter how beautiful, smart, kind, loving and caring is your GF, she will NEVER love you more than the God-Emperor loves you.

I'm pretty sure he had a cape.

It wasn't the ship's shields that reflected the lazers and destroied the fortresses, it was Abridal's balls.

what a chad

Get out there and grab some with your hands for fucks sakes! I'll shive it up my arse and scan it and we will build a new one. I dont fucking know how but jusy get it.

@@squishynugs1457 a few hours later, some random gaurdsman, have you guys try duct tape and super glue to fix it.

And the number of those that die in 40K outnumber *LITTERALY EVERYTHING*

It should be officio in high gothic

Blake Bridges That’s Solar Admiral Spire

@Neon Drifteryou don't really hear much of the navy in 40k, since the main tabletop is about the ground war. Spire is probably the most well known Imperial admiral in 40k by this point.

My favortie part is that Spire is just a man, not a primarch... a custodes... a psyker... or a space marine.

he didn't even exist before the game and now is one of the -if not the- most badass Imperial Navy Admirals

Lord Admiral Spire of Terra, Supreme Commander of the Imperial Navy.

I'm waiting for GW to release a game where the C'tan are the main villains, instead of the Orks, Chaos, or Eldar.

Elijah Kelly The Night Bringer kind of was in Dawn of War: Dark Crusade.

actually didn't see him at the beginning of the game :D cool stuff

Had to scroll way too far down for this. Gets the point across in waaaaaay fewer words.

Every Chaos: You said you'd get six, you got three, and you lost one. Abaddon: (Uses one of them to 'Operation British' Cadia.)

@@theanchorshat585 i understand this reference #ZeonDidNothingWrong

All the C'tan: Yes, YesYesYeSYES

Imagine if the Fortresses had simply rotated to the second of their four guns and started doing the star killer beam again

@@toddkes5890 LOL didn't notice that! That makes sense: if they have four guns they must be able to fire more than once... Perhaps there's a cinematic "law" about heroic sacrifices that would stop that, or perhaps they didn't have time to charge again? I think they can shoot less powerful shots without being star-killing beams, and that wouldn't be enough against the whole fleet that was coming towards them.

@@diego5079 they can only shoot one beam at a time i think, 4 guns is just for redundancy, faster target acquisition and linkage when they were used by eldar long ago. All of them were supposed to link up in a network and kill a god.

The Blackstone fortresses are said to be one of the few remaining weapons in existence capable of harming C'tan.

He didnt want anyone else to get their hands on it. I wonder why

The only weapon that can kill the C'tan. Makes sense he wants them destroyed.

TheStrossicro Go back to the Intro video. Look at the shadow the Crone makes. Additional hint: Blackstone fortresses are orbital weapons used by the Old Ones to combat the C'tan.

the only weapon other than the necron weapon that seems to be-able to harm them

Basically, Abaddon the Harmless got manipulated like lil' bitch and by trying to obtain Black Fortresses, he pulled the attention of Imperium and Eldar to them, so they were able to destroy at least one of them. In other words, yeah crone/Deceiver just kinda knew that Abaddon is too stupid to actually win and used him to get rid of one of the only few weapons that could harm them :)

The reason is here is because is manipulating other into destroy ANY old ones tecnology since the old ones tech such as blackstone fortress are the only thing capable of killing the c'tan

It's actually one of the battle themes.

+Chapter Master Valrak This ships looks like Dictator class Cruiser. It cannot be Leoten Semper's Lord Macharius Solar, can it? Gordon Rennie has never finished that book series.

+Ruthenius It was the Flame of Purity with Captain Abridal at her helm .

"We stood as one. We are the defenders of humanity. We are the Emperor's blazing sword and the Imperium's crushing fist, hundreds of billions of hands ready to die for our mission in the cold unforgiving space. We are the Imperial Navy."

Lol no they aren't ?!

@@enirasama9207 Not every conflict but the major campaigns they do record them in the hall of heroes which is what that last scene is depicting. The hall is simply gargantuan. Stairs miles long lead to the emperors throne room with thousands of regimental banners and halls going off for miles of tombs with names of veterans

The deciver orchestrated the whole thing to destroy the talismans

It's interesting you say that - I always got more of an Eldar vibe from the Tenno, what with all the running around solo with psychic powers and being space ninjas with exotic masks and a once-great faction, and Imperium of Man from the grineer, with them being bred in near-limitless reserves exclusively for war and following a monarchical figure and hating everything that isn't them (and themselves to a lesser extent) lol And for anyone wondering, I feel the T'au would be the Corpus' equivalent, with the drone-proxies and technology and only one character being good in melee (in prod we trust!), the Tyrannids would be the Infested's, with the incorporating everything into the biomass, and the Necrons for the Sentients, with the killer ancient robots and original cause of the setting's conflict If only there were an Ork equivalent!

Rowan Kelley The Deceiver was first seen in the Intro talking to Abaddon under the guise of a thrall witch. He orchestrated the 12th Black Crusade so the Blackstone Fortresses are destroyed. The only thing that is capable of killing C'tans.

Ah, I see.

commanderbacara225 now that the original weapon that the Necrons used against them is gone (silent king destroyed it and had knowledge of it wiped from all memories) and that the Blackstone fortresses (made by the ancient eldar or old ones) are gone, nothing can harm a fully formed C'tan, Exept the emperor or the chaos gods. But since chaos gods can't enter realspace and the emperor is trapped on the throne

yeah, though i think a few fortresses are left. Not sure if the fortress can kill a C'tan, given that it failed to kill the void dragon

Rowan Kelley Making sure everyone buys another copy of Skyrim

In the game you have the option to create an alliance with the Eldar. If you do so they will help you in the battle against the planet killer

Soviet Rainbow Dash I mean the captain of the BB sound just like the eldar guy

Just one of them.

@@sonofjack6286 ahh

Listen to both. There is more emphasis on the ending speech with this.

Really? Because I REALLY can't tell the difference.

Yes, really.

technically the last mission have 3 different outcomes. 1- You lose the battle and get the cutscene of the fortresses destroying the star. 2- You stop the planet killer with at least a funtional vessel and get the ending cut scene just from the part of the boarding of the fortresses onward. 3- You manage to stop the planet killer but you have no funtional ships by the time it finish his "dead" animation and you get this video that is basically the canonic ending

Why was Spire in the warp for about 1000 years?

@@oiermontero2310 Because in Warp are laws of our space ignored,so they can build ships impossible to build in our space and complete it 5000 years before they started (from our way of view). So because in Warp time can be ignored,there can be sometimes such problems as moving in time to the future or the past. (he did not done it,because they wanted to stay there for so long,but this is just one of dangers of travel in Warp)

It would be a bad precedent, forging alliances with xenos and all.

@@MarvinT0606 The Imperium didn't have much choice in the matter since they were out gunned by Abaddon's forces and the Gothic Fleet couldn't get reinforcements from outside the Gothic Sector because of the warp storm engulfing the sector at the time. The Gothic War lasted for around 20 years and the warp storm lasted for almost that long and didn't dissipate until near the end of the war. Forging an alliance, even if temporary, with the Eldar was needed if there was any hope of preventing the Gothic Sector from falling to the forces of Chaos.

@@Sigma0283 but acknowledging that fact in a memorial or anything that can be transmitted is something the Imperium will never do

@@MarvinT0606 Perhaps. Like I said, Semper also achieved great renown during the Gothic War from the battles he fought and his name and deeds were still cited as an example of naval valour by the time of the 13th Black Crusade. Other than playing a critical role in helping forge an alliance with the Eldar, or at least help get the ball rolling, his ship (Lord Solar Macharius) oversaw the evacuation of the planet Belatis in the novel Execution Hour when the planet was targeted by the Planet Killer; he even had to fight his way off the planet at one point with only minutes to spare before Planet Killer fired. The Macharius also managed to get a detailed scan of Planet Killer before making the warp jump.

In BFG:A, you can actually ram the same ship several times in sequence by hitting the 'All Ahead Full' and 'Full Stop' commands in sequence, repeatedly. With the Imperial Navy and their heavy armored prows, it's basically a cheese tactic.
