I can't believe that the new 40k lore introduced the Chaos Spaces Marine. Truly, the lore update of all time.

Eternal Crusade in the background, I miss this game Also Abbadon thinking that he is not corrupted is funny as all hell XD

"Haarkan grew rich in wealth and plunder" What is he gonna buy? Is there still a Walmart in the grim dark future?

Yay! Haarken retcon'd into a Night Lord. Now it actually makes sense when I run him with my raptors in my NL army 😅

Iron within. But I'll see you guys in 10 minutes for the Emperors Children Index vindication video

Its day 117th of Valrak asking GW for Perturabo's return. So he could resolve his daddy issues

The Eldar failed again? Wow, how original, we've never seen this one before!

It’s Iron-Rak! Our resident Iron Warrior superfan! 😂

Has my Lord the Aurelian returned to save mankind from Guilliman and his heresies???

Still waiting for more about all the clones that Fabius let go free on their own after deciding he wasn't going to keep transferring his consciousness between cloned bodies anymore during "Manflayer," especially since he's supposedly got a new body during "Genefather." Surely he'd be making far more progress by working with his clones to advance any research much faster than he would on his own, many hands make light work, but I guess we're supposed to just ignore those clones like we're supposed to ignore Clonegrim being stuck in Trayzn's museum (but we won't forget, we will never forget.)

Thanks for relaying all this to us. I like how the authors now seem to realize we want updates on all these characters and the Black Crusade itself. It doesn't mean all of it will advance, but at least it doesn't leave it behind, like the war against the Tyranids.

This is why I love Abaddon. He is the the big bad leader of Chaos, the ultimate bad guy in the setting, the leader of the "villain" faction. But he doesn't worship it, he doesn't believe in it, he doesn't serve it, he simply uses it. So many villains are obsessed/ruled by their faction, Sephiroth and Jenova being a big example. But Abaddon full on couldn't care less for the victory of Chaos, he is merely for the defeat of the Emperor. And I find that really cool, especially with some of the most powerful beings in the setting worshiping chaos, and chaos itself being so corrupting, he has avoided being ruled by it, he still has his soul, his beliefs and his morals (what little he had left anyway). The dude was happy to use chaos worshipers in the billons in multiple black crusades. Because he had actual objectives, not just take Cadia. It also makes the Cadians even MORE beast, because when he full on INTENTIONALLY tried to take Cadia intact, he just couldn't. Its one of the many reasons Iron Warriors are my favourite legion too, anti Imperium but not pro chaos, its simply another resource. But yea, plenty of people go "no, its just plot armour and poor writing that he wasn't trying to take Cadia, he lost those crusades", not realising every major character has plot armour. Salamanders for example, get so much lore boost from friendship, and space wolves are just space vikings. But Abaddon's fake crusades are better writing than simply losing every single time, espeically when all he could do was destroy the planet, not take it. Also Huron is a good villain, but seriously overrated by the fandom, he's incredibly generic as a character, but there is only 2 things that actually make him stand out. The Badab war, and his position of Pirate lord, and even that part could work with any other generic character. Fabius Bile and Honsou are way more interesting personality wise, and have more to them than just their rank. Now I need Perturabo to come out as the face of Renegades faction, not beholden to Abaddon's idea of revenge, but most certainly using chaos as fuel and bringing down the Imperium.

I love how despite there being sooo many tales of characters from the traitor legions. We still have literally nothing to uniquely represent these characters on the tabletop. It specifically why I just defer to the mono god legions for something flavorfully unique.

It feels a bit weird to me that Vashtor has limitless control over every kind of technology, that would imply that he can end the Necrons in a snap! I wonder if GW have consider the consequences of giving Vasthor that power in this new narrative.

3:10 is lore accurate fight between Imperial Fists and Night Lords 💪

I know Black Library have a thing about not using each other's characters, but I just want to know what Decimus has been up to all this time.

Codex Emperor's Children wheeennnnn

Index Emperors Children, get on it Val!

I see the warp has brought forth some forbidden gameplay footage from years gone by. Oh, what could have been...

Maybe Leagues of Votann will be forced to flee to Imperium Nihilus and ask Lion and Dante for refuge and offer in exchange superior technology.

First time I hear about Bile having some Custodes geneseed. That could get nasty…

Man, all this new lore is full of Chaos!!!

Would really like to see them do something extreme like having abbadon killed outright by Guilliman with the Emperor's sword. Having Huron Blackheart take over as warmaster.

Allways good to hear about the business men pirates of the red.corsairs

Big talk for a guy that barely escaped with his life when he took on Marneus Calgar!

all i heard was that the red corsairs are the only based traitors ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Fabius having custodes is horrifying

If we get any books set in the Great Crusade proper, it would be cool to see Dorn and Perturabo do a siege together

I'm sorry I was watching that gameplay and barely heard what was happening in the new chaos sm lore

GW better not make Perty or Huron people who allied with the chaos gods. Ruins their charactarization as "users of the chaos powers" not "ones being used by the chaos powers"

Vashtorrs origins, long ago man hit machines to get them to work before tossing them in the trash, the machine spirit angered towards this primal instincts of man instead of fixing them. Til one day that pile of broken technology with all its anger was possessed by a deamon and took shape!!! Lol.

Fulgrim and Emperor's sons refresh.. does that mean demon ladyboy models nobody wants to admit to owning?

The Nachmund gauntlet used to seem cool as an ongoing event, not sure why it fell by the wayside for so long.

I see Honsou, I click

Intresting about the possibility of Vashtorr emerging in the Dark Age of Technology. It makes certain sense.

Minimal info on the Red Corsairs. But it's good to know Huron is active and maybe making pacts with the Dark Gods to be in more than one place at once.

Sounds like SoB and Haarkon is on a collision course. Let's hope the SoB gets some BT help in the mix as well...

Eternal Crusade B-roll is back! 😂

I painted haarken as a night lord before this lore, now it’s just cooler

It’s all going according to my plan… I mean Alpharius’ plan…

damn this video makes me wanna play Space Marine, that game was a blast, online and single player campaign. so stoked for SM2> great video tho, love these longer vids with you explaining the lore.

Iron warriors putting in the work.

But Val, I don't wanna put my thumb up his thread?!

Thanks LoreRak

It'd be better if Chaos was being driven forward by the fallen Primarchs at this. It's a little hard to believe that Blabaddon's efforts are out maneuvering and out thinking both the Lion and Bobby G even if they're playing catch up. At least Vashtor makes solid sense as a threat

LET THE GALAXY BURN!

Chaos Space Marines like the Emperor's Fist

Eternal Crusade gameplay?? Classic Valrak bringing the nostalgia.

Why do I get the feeling that 40K is going down the route as the old world did… meaning the end of 40K is no one wins. I say this because events that are happening have happened in the old world, just change name of character here, name of place there and different name of item in someones crusty handkerchief.

2 mins 50 "Abaddons Grand Pan" Pizza hut reference?

Not a fan that they changed Abaddon’s crusades being some master plan vs just being a series of failed attempts, sorta feels like shooting an arrow and then painting a target around it.

They’re trying really hard now to make us feel like Abadon is a worthy antagonist.

Ah loremaster Valrak my favourite

Question: do chaos space marines ships still need the gellarfield since everything is already warp tainted and they are blessed by their patron gods?

Ok sounds mad but is abadon trully chaos? Is hecdoing some bidding for the emporer get lutien to check

Futile Jesters 😂

Who was playing the orange space marine?

Valdor abadoon spear thing

Of course it’s a 20 min video. Valrak needed it to read and it took a while 😂

Does anyone now what this soundtrack is?

best channel

So ... can Vashtor mess with Necrons?

Very interesting

What game is this and how can I play?

Mybe saw his true intent

All I am saying is my main man Bile definitely ain’t seeding the galaxy with his new men…. 100% not replacing imperial worlds and their citizens with them. Parta mutatis and such

Wait the gameplay in background is back?

Where can you play Eternal Crusade ?

CHAOTIC SCAMS

What game is that?

What gameplay is that? never seen before

Which game of 40 k is this

Yo what game is this!!!!

So many horny bots...... where that's link to the original thread, Valrak?

Yo what game is this?

What's the game called

What game is this?

Does it explain why arent using legion hardware? No? Then its black legion but silver.

I can't believe you still use Eternal Crusade gameplay, lol

Is the Chaos Spaces Marine like the Imperial Marine but for the heretics? :P

Control, not controlled

Losing his left eye to a neutral wipe? Whay does he hate sisters for that?

EC index rules just dropped Valrak.....

Heard your boys ABANDONED Terra Valrak....👀

You working overtime time a 19min video???? Good lore video though 😁

wtf is Khurkan

Sounds like we are getting an end times so they can reset the lore to be more inclusive

I figured out what the stipulation is with Warhammer in general. To start. Random tangent. But I don't think I was the only child that was not allowed to play "grand theft auto" as a child. Because of "the fear our young mind might try to replicate what it sees on the screens" hence the prevalence of ratings such as pg-13, rated R, E for everyone, M for mature to name a few. I'll get into the relevance this has With Warhammer give me a moment algorithms. Started slowing my typing process. Jesse artificial intelligence loosen up a bit. But this same reason people decided to shelter children from certain media outlets. Is the same stipulation gw and their representation of how the people affect the setting. The people as in the audience. From my understanding we are treated like H.P Lovecraft's observer. As in we are treated like a all protein power such as the warp or places where in universe deities live with the way we think and talk about the setting. More so talk, while thinking has a lot to do with what we discuss. When an alternative and a better simulated/ predictable trajectory of a longer lasting setting is if abbadon had some sort of plan for establishing a foot hold in deep space. Probably something to do with lock and key. And how a lock tends to represent the environment of our mental scapes. While the key is how we seamlessly traverse this landscape and alter/change it where ever and however we see fit to. Not to make ones own empire. But to give room for input by the wider spectrum of cultures and people out there. And how individuals such as myself can make such impacts. What I'm trying to say is. Like Austin Powers. Gw.(Aka dr.evil) And us mini gw(aka mini me) Because well we don't make much revenue off expanding such. While companies rake in profit after profit with our really any true idea of how it is happening besides speculation on what they have done and currently doing. It takes someone like me. Usually a boss not expectation or what media has represented of a boss. No. It just takes an individual to look and see how other individuals effect each other. And how separate one way of working is to another way of working. Even in active development team's. We all know that somebody who specializes in one specific thing. And excels at such. It's just how caught up in expanding these ways and getting them seen. When we only have two eyes that barley have 180 degree perception on the best of occasions. While most other times. Absolutely tunnelled in on whatever it is we are focused on. Cough cough golden statue space marine cough cough. But that's alright. Where only human. But when will we take notice? Because ultimately there are no problems with the story of Warhammer. Just problems with the way people receive things. Probably not really much to do with Warhammer. But more so with industry as a whole. As a good man once said. "Every one's THAT GUY. It just depends on how often and..." I forget the rest.

Ah, the one retcon I was hoping for seems not to have happened, looks like Mr. Turbo is still a Daemon Primarch.

watching eternal crusade makes me sad I missed that. The artstyle was perfect and cartoony. It looked like it would have been an amazing alternative to SW Battlefront

Are they directing the WH40k universe to some of bad end / reset as they did with WH Fantasy and Age of Sigmar / Old world ? Cause honnestly I don't see how in lore the Imperium can survive. Split in two, one of the side can't warp travel anymore against an ennemy army that is infinite and basically immortal only growing stronger by the day.

Mmmm...

GW’s manic obsession with only Abaddon ironically making him more boring

Name of the game? Is it still available?

First

It only took Abaddon 10,000 years to fail his way to success. He is currently lost, and seeking directions to terra, as his cellphone has no signal due to Horus’s family plan being cancelled.

So not reporting something you actually read? Huh...

I know you as an IF fanboy, hates Purty & his sons, but the IW were only pranking the sons of Dorn. The Iron Warriors saved the Imperivm during the Siege of Terra. Purty & his boys don't worship Chaos, but seem to be a detached Legion & having their ties to Vashtor & the Dark Mechanicus don't seem to have allegiance to any of their fallen brothers. From the Archs of Omen series, it seems that Purty is the only primarch that Abaddon trusts.

So Abaddon went from kinda being a joke, to being the best thing ever with no weaknesses, only strengths lol. Talk about over correcting.

They’re actually women!
