Chapter Master Valrak I knew you would be there

Chapter Master Valrak when I watched the stream I have to admit even I got a boner when seeing it come in

Chapter Master Valrak hey I have a question is it easy to paint Primaris figures or is it difficult cause I'm finally getting primaris but I'm thinking of paintings them black temps or Imperial Fists

To actually see a Gloriana Class Battleship!

BlockMechanics Except (less?) corrupt then again the whole Imperium is corrupt and so if the Vatican.

Seeing that those small cruisers have a crew of over 65000, the Phalanx is probably more like Italy than just the Vatican.

@@EmporerOfMankind40k the imperium is corrupt ... dont worry they do all by the "book"

Space Italy

Too bad Dorn disappeared before he witnessed Ork assault moons and Necron attack moons, otherwise he might actually start fortifying and mobilising assault world ships. Imagine if the Tyranid give fleet showed up and the planet they wanted to nom suddenly turned around to face them with a giant laser.

And it's most deadly manoeuvre is *ramming speed*.

I like to call it a giant biscuit

The emperor protects.

As a DAOT relic. The Phalanx shouldn't have the Gothic Cathedral styling of post Heresy Imperium ships. It should by all rights, look down right alien.

@@sl600rt id imagine the black templar did a little remodling of their new battle cathedral

But you cant fortify void!!

Dorn: (Slams beer on table) "Yuz fekkin' watch me, matey!!" ...2 years later... Administratum Officer: "That bastard!"

Administatum: With all due respect my lord, it is physically impossible to fortify the void of space. Rogal Dorn : I disagree.

Sure you can...it's called a space station!

@@judahboyd2107 Um hate to break this to everyone, but the novel Dark Imperium, has Cadia destroyed in it. And it's the latest in the timeline. Sorry folks. It happens at the start I think.

@@estanislaomarugo3381 Sorry I didn't watch the video all the way before I typed that. Lol

This is a 40K space battle as it should be, on the proper scale and believably of star empires like the imperium. Given the importance of Cadia, it's about time they showed there being more ships than there were at Coruscant.

Finally! A scale proper of W40k!

holy sh*t i never noticed that before!

LOL i was thinking the same ;)

Misspelling and not capitalising Emperor. That's a blamming.

**Flies into the middle of the void** "I and fortifying this position."

And was the only one of its kind the knowledge of how it was made and how to repair it is lost to the ages it was originally a gift to the emperor from rogal when he first met the emperor

@@ogserpents5426 Actually there is another, though I suspect it's not as big as the Phalanx, it's still massive star fortress. The Raptorus Rex of the Fire Hawks was a similar space fortress with a shitload of guns and armor, though sadly it's been lost in the warp... for now.

@@claudiu-mihaipuiu1221 FOR NOW BROTHERS THEY FIGHT THE WARP INSIDE IT

Phaaaaaalaaaaaaanx

El Bastardo I have a question, what is ridiculous about 40k? I never really understood when people say it’s ridiculous when the lore gives perfectly reasonable explanations for the things that exist in universe.

@@severanguardsman9428 in other sci-fi universes, several hundred turbo laser batteries is seen as apocalyptic. In 40k, the gun batteries on the side fire shells the size of small apartment buildings through gun barrels the size of the empire state building at a fraction of the speed of light. In other universes a ship killing torpedo is the size of a fridge, in 40k a sufficient sized torpedo carried by a void borne torpedo bomber is 2km long. In a certain movie an alien mothership the size of Australia was practically the end of Earth as they know it, in 40k something like that is just one of many weapon platforms surrounding Earth (Terra) "studded with gap maw'ed graviton world enders each enough to obliterate an entire fleet in a single shot".

Heinrich Dethahal but I don’t see how that is ridiculous just because it is bigger. It just shows how dangerous the universe is that it requires technology of that size/firepower just to survive.

@@Autechltd I don't mean rediculous in a bad manner. Just look at the Phalanx. It's a giant blob of heavily armed and armored space cathedral, capable of traveling through mega hell. No person in their right mind would build such a thing. Likewise the imperiale warships. They have armored prows for ramming. In space, where mass drivers, torpedos and directed energy weapons are a thing. Or think about Trazyn, a millions of years old, vaguely egyptian themed terminator with a trollish personality and a habit of stealing things that spark his interest. The planet Mars has a goddamn face because of the way it's buildings are arranged. Look at it without the lens of immersion into the fandom and lore. It's rediculous, but in an awesome way. We sometimes tend to forget that 40k is not only science fantasy, but also satirical in nature. And I love it for that.

@@fury1783 well you also pretty much summed up how the Tau felt when they heard of an Imperial Titan for the first time.

Not as epic as that commissar. "As the Emporer Wills it!" BLAM

Its like no one reads any history- Wait, *Sudden Inquisition*

If they had held back for just a minute, they would have spoted the new arrivals, and while their ships may have not been able to take them out in a straight fight and come out clean, they could have blocked them. On the other hand... it was her rash and daring mind that had them pull into realspace so close to the planet, any other admiral not being close enough.

should have just rammed it, usually works...

You come at the Spirit you best not miss.

Lifted word by word from the 'Fall of Cadia'

Snowblade ikr!

They nailed the feel in the first game and it seems like this one will do 40k justice as well. :D

is does have that epic written all over it

Joel Tong yeah I think it's on purpose otherwise it'd be too big for the game

Pretty sure they scaled a lot of things down just so it can fit properly.

*faint sound of Rogal Dorn's NO in the background*

Actually on Phalanx there was only one company of Imperial fists at the moment. Most of them were wiped out by Belakor. Buuuuuut instead there was full Legion of the Damned))))

@@2i139 Most of the 1st, 2nd and elements of 3rd Company of Imperial Fists were fighting on Cadia at that moment (of course they evacuated before it fell). While most of the 3rd Company was wiped out at Hydra Cordatus. Before the Fall of Cadia the elements of the 3rd Company on the Phalanx were attacked by Iron Warriors and Belakor and were relieved by the Legion of the Damned. The battle of Phalanx ended with victory of the Imperial Fists and another comical failure of Warsmith Shon'tu and by this point I am just waiting for Lysander to end Shon'tus misery with a proper strike from Fist of Dorn. P.S.: Legions ceased to exist after the Heresy (unless you are also refering to former legion member apa like: Astral Knights, Black Templars, Celestial Lions, Crimson Axes, Crimson Fists, Crusaders of Dorn, Death Strike, Doom Fists, Emperor's Warbringers, Excoriators, Executioners, Fire Lords, Fists Exemplar, Fists of Wrath , Hammers of Dorn, Hospitallers, Invaders, Iron Champions, Iron Knights, Knights of Dorn, Night Swords, Sons of Dorn, Sons of the Phoenix, Soul Drinkers, Subjugators, Venom Thorns, White Templars and Red Templars) therefore you can only speak of modern Imperial Fists as a chapter, if you talk about the Legion you have to include successors.

Gaunt's Ghosts have a lot of pretty good commissars and bad ones as well.

Commissars who shoot there own men with any kind of frequency tend to have short life spans. With Ciaphas Cain being the most famous commissar in the lore I imagine other commissars would follow his example of leading through inspiration rather than fear.

Just wait to my awaken and they will feel it

Pretty sure we saw the planet get blowed up pretty good there... But I guess... Cadia Stands!

@@Hadesthief Make sense but how did the Phalanx end up nowhere near the Black fortress? It was literally one moment than next scene it ended up nowhere near it

@@tzeentchnco.7441 It was rammed by the phalanx, and since there's no friction in space it just floated away.

@@Hadesthief then shouldn't it float far away? Far from Cadia?

@@tzeentchnco.7441 not gonna defend logic or physics in a 40k setting, but is very probable that admiral Catalia did not arrive inmidietlly after the fortress destruction, maybe it was hours, days, how knows, and the remains of the Black Stone fortress stayed in orbit like a moon arround Cadia... maybe

@Nik Liwanag the thing is about the size of a moon if I recall

Yeah it's the size of a planetoid/moon but for the game I'd imagine it had to be scaled down

@Nik Liwanag roughly the size of the mothership in Independence day 2..

It is, they were never going to quite capture it's size however. Just a few of it's descriptions: "The Phalanx came from the trans-Neptunian gulf like a comet. She was the largest ship that had ever served mankind. Others had made warships that tried to rival her size: the Vengeful Spirit, the Furious Abyss and the Iron Blood. None, though, could match the flagship of the Imperial Fists."-'Praetorian of Dorn' by John French "And larger than all of them, hanging above Terra like a second moon, was the Phalanx. In all the Imperium, there was no warship larger, or mightier. Even the Gloriana-class craft fell short of Rogal Dorn’s fortress flagship."-'Praetorian of Dorn' by John French "Dorn oversaw the great reinforcement effort from his flagship and star-fortress the mighty 'Phalanx'. The size of a small moon it was forced to remain clear of Terra's shipping lanes for fear that it's great mass would exert a tidal pull on the lesser orbitals. Standing sentinel over the ongoing work of the defenses the star-fortress was a grand artifice of gold. Ramparts and towers. Cathedral like halls and acres of domes covered its flanks. Phalanx was not only the flagship of the VIIth Legion but also their home. With room for hundreds of thousands of warriors and support serviles in its habitat tiers."-'Garro: Burden of Duty' by James Swallow. "Phalanx is the mobile battle station that serves as both the Imperial Fists’ home world and their foremost warship. In form and scale, it is nearer a planetoid than a conventional vessel; it is a mighty cathedral of war that dwarfs the largest Battle Barge, and wields the firepower of a formidable fleet."-'Sentinels of Terra' "Of these war bastions of the stars, the greatest was the Phalanx. A pre-Imperial relic of vast size and unimaginable power, Rogal Dorn rebuilt the cold wreck, found orbiting Inwit, where it had drifted dead since the Dark Age of Technology, and presented it to the Emperor on their reuniting. Although ponderous and a difficult voyager int he Warp, this titanic star fortress was nevertheless a space-carried weapon whose firepower dwarfed entire attack fleets by comparison."-'The Horus Heresy Book 3: Extermination' "The Phalanx watched the last few seconds of the starship's life unfold. The massive construct, the nomadic home of the Imperial Fists Legion, was more planetoid that it was space vessel."-'Flight of the Eisenstein' by James Swallow "The Phalanx defied description. Ship was not a big enough word for the home of the Imperial Fists. Fortress made no allowance for its grace and ability to travel between the stars. It could be defined in several ways: as fortress-monastery, temple, relic, the single biggest warp-capable object in all the Imperium, a symbol of Imperial might, battle-fortress. But none adequately captured the reality in words. Human speech was too limited. Phalanx's mass blotted out the stars."-'The Beheading' by Guy Haley. "Even before their division into Chapters, the Imperial Fists never laid claim to a single home world. Instead, they are a space-borne Chapter, and their home is an ancient and unique vessel called Phalanx. As large as a moon and capable of docking over a dozen cruisers, Phalanx is a marvel of the starshipwright’s craft that predates the Imperium."-'Deathwatch: Rites of Battle'

@ekulerudamuru Ridiculous. The shit in ID2 is 1/3 the size of Earth. The Phalanx is the side of planetoid, i.e. about 1000km long, not 10000km. That would make it as big as Ceres in our Solar System.

Given how important the planet of Cadia was, I would have been dissapointed had the scene NOT looked like the opening scene of Revenge of the Sith except in 40K. As for Tau, the Imperium has many times the military and resources to completely annihilate the Tau, even in their current state, were it not for the fact that the Imperium has a dozen other major threats pressing on it, heresy everywhere, and ludicrous levels of bureaucratic incompetence at every level of government, and also the relative slowness of warp travel across large portions of the Galaxy.

@@fadelsukoco3092 Tau is like the shark trying attack American US Navy ;) Like Monaco on World Map.

That's the scale of 40k. The Tau even though are beginning to have an empire are literally classed as a minor annoyance. If the Imperium truly wanted the Tau gone, They would be extinct.

Mate the Tau are but a mere speck tolerated by the Imperium because they ain't a real threat. Heck the Imperium would rarely muster a counter push if the Tau decided to conquer a planet unless it was a Forge World. However if they insited on a large scale war, like the Damocles Campaign, the Tau would get completly overwhelmed by sheer Imperial numbers alone.
