Could you do a video on the 13th Penal Legion? The Last Chancers? Led by Colonel Schaeffer, these degenerate criminals go on the worst of the worst suicide missions for Guardsmen. They usually start off with hundreds in their ranks. Each mission cuts away several members until only a few bartke hardened elite members are left. Once they've completed their last mission, they are pardoned. Neat little detail from Colonel Schaeffer, he writes a pothumus pardon for any Last Chancer who dies in service. "The Last Chancer Series" is a great WH 40K Series and highly underrated.

I quit a 6, Dan doesn't know how to write an ending to save his live and he leans a bit too hard into the grimdark for my taste. I want stories where they fight hard, pay a hefty price but their death has a point. In Gaunt's Ghosts the known characters always die like idiots. (I was going to say named but he always gives the cannonfodder names minutes before they die.) I also dislkike the constant edging of telling when someone died even though his MO means they are absolutely dead. Even the Deathkorps novels end on a better note.

@jamesh2321 28 күн бұрын

As a Former Cadian player I gotta give props to the Kasrkin, but reading the Gaunt's ghosts novels puts them on another level. Dan Abnett is already regarded as an S Tier author in 40k, and he outdoes himself with these books. You might think it's unrealistic or over the top- and sometimes it gets close to that, but it's so well written you can suspend your disbelief. It's also not afraid to show the horrors and transient nature of war. Don't get too attached to any one character, they might not make it to the next book. I've always loved the Guardsmen and they need more love, but it's still a space marine's world and everyone else is just playing around them.

a grenadier is actually a soldier who is particularly big and strong relative to other soldiers. historically they were tasked with throwing heavy iron grenades in the battle line. it was discovered that marching up to the enemy with all your dudes holding literal time bombs while under fire wasn't very safe or effective but the name of grenadier stuck.

Here's some to consider: What if all of the Primarchs (save Alpharius because he landed on Terra) somehow died before the Imperium discovered them? (Assume that Vulkan was never found by the Imperium, maybe he was lost in the Warp, maybe the DE got a hold of him, maybe he’s in Trazyn’s galleries, etc). The important thing is, what if no Primarchs? If any one Loyalist and Traitor Primarch switched sides for the Horus Heresy, who would you choose for the best outcome for either the Loyalists, or the Traitors? What if the Silent King never got rid of his Command Protocols and took (almost) all the Necrons with him out of the galaxy to perhaps find a new and better one and come across the Tyranids? What if the Great Crusade had all the Primarchs and none turned Traitor, but there were no Astartes? What if the Beast Orks succeeded in defeating the Imperium? What if the Raptor Project succeeded/was never sabotaged? How would each Heresy/Crusade-era Primarch and Legion fare against the modern Tau Empire?
