The Vostroyan Firstborn are Imperial Guard Regiments. Vostroya is a world in the Halo Zone beyond the Eye of Terror, which swore allegiance to Mars during the Age of Strife. It is now ruled by a committee of Techtriarchs, a mix of Mechanicus Magi and more traditional Imperial planetary government. During the Horus Heresy, Vostroya refused to provide regiments to the Emperor, preferring instead to reserve the population in the manufactoria blanketing the world. After the Heresy, the Vostroyans, out of guilt, agreed to supply every family's firstborn son to service with the Imperial Guard

“My fate was decided by my parents. They fought hard, racing against their siblings, married second but only by a month. They conceived first and I was a son, a firstborn son. My task? To carry the honor of my family, to join the finest regiment in the Imperium, I was to be a Vostroyan Firstborn! My weapon, an heirloom of the finest construction! The filigree on the stock, the enhanced scope, the well worn trigger that needed caressing, not yanking. My sword is of the finest alloy, it had cut swathes of fire before it reached my care. I am an officer, I am a soldier, I am Vostroyas pride, I am her guilt, I am her price, I am her wrath. I served under my uncle, he was a fine soldier, a better officer, a born leader of men. I learned a lot from him!”

@@RookieR48 the situation would go like this: Couple marries, have 2 kids, the first go to the Guard, the second stay, marry, have 2 kids, the first go to the Guard to his Uncle's regiment, the second stay, marry, have 3 children, the first go to the Guard, the other 2 stay, marry, they have 5 kids each (good times), the first child of each (they are cousins) go to the Guard to the regiment of their Uncle and Granduncle, the rest stay, and the process go on and on... And why this happens? Simple: the Vostroyan had, in its entire history since start of what I call "The Penance", only raised 7 REGIMENTS. They didn't create more - they just keep reinforcing them (in fact, they are one of the few regiments that do that), which create a societal custom of entire families linked to a certain Regiment.

STORY TIME: Back when I played the Only War TTRPG's, one of the regiments you could pick were the Vostroyan Firstborn. We didn't end up playing as them, but the GM did make a bunch of NPC guardsmen who were Vostroyan. And he based them all on Russian Call of Duty characters. We had Viktor Reznov, Dimitri Petrenko, Nikolai Belinski, and Chernov. And they were the sole survivors of their regiment that had been decimated by a combination of Orks and Tyranids. And they all had the same personalities as their CoD counterparts. By the end of session three all except Chernov had died (the dice weren't on their side), but each one went out like a badass. Reznov drove a tank into a tyranid swarm before being overturned and crushed by a Carnifex, Dimitri was sniping Ork Boyz to cover our retreat before getting torn apart by a Killa Kan, and Nikolai went out in a blaze with molotov cocktails made with Space Wolf mead (long story tied to our Deathwatch game) and blew up an entire warehouse full of equal parts Orks and Nids. Poor Chernov was left alive with so much trauma and mementos from each one, and now had the hard task of not only making sure all three would be remembered, but also making sure their deaths were not in vain. They weren't, and we would later learn in a post-campaign epilogue he survived long enough to become commander of his own Voystroyan regiment called "Sons of the Hoarfrost."

Example: Will of Eternity - Blackstone Fortress Spirit of Eternity - DAoT AI ship that hated humanity after time traveling to 40k to save the race from Chaos Eternity Gate - Imperial Palace entrance on Terra Eternity Gate - Necron Portal mounted on Monolith to transport troops across/between worlds. Well of Eternity - Portal in the Warp that Kaitos Fateweaver was thrown in. The Blade of Eternity - TheBlade of Infinity is also referred to as the Blade of Eternity. Echoes of Eternity - Siege of Terra Novel Knights of Eternity - Loyalist space Marines chapter Blades Eternal - Loyalist Space Marines chapter Accursed Eternity- ebook available from Games Workshop Just like the Iron Hands Spaces Marines, led by Ferrous Manus with his hands of Iron on their Flagship the Fist of Iron, who have thankfully never had to fight the Men of Iron. Or all of the different uses of “Angel” in 40k, like the Dark Angels, the other chapter of the Emperor’s Angels of Death. And their successor chapters the Angels of Descent Angels of Solemnity Angels of Sorrow Angels of the Hunt Angels of the Lion Cobalt Angels Keep in mind, the Dark Angels are not to be confused with the Fallen Dark Angels, traitors from the Horus Heresy. And there’s the Red Angel Angron, vs the Blood Angels chapter, led by the angel-winged Primarch Sanguinius, the Great Angel and their successor chapters the Angels Vermillion, Angels Encarmine, Angel's Litany Angels Celestial Angels Nemesis Angels of Anguish Angels of Rebirth Angels of the Cruciform Grail Angels of the Voracious Chalice Angels of Ulan Angels Palatine Angels Repentant Angels Vampiric Angels Vehement Blissful Angels Angels Carmine Death Angels Storm Angels Or the short stories of A Lesson In Purpose: A Knights Angelicus Story or A World Fallen - A Knights Angelicus Story And this should not be confused with the Angel, also called the Sleeper and the Angel of Destruction, a powerful weapon created and used by the Emperor during the Unification Wars, Or be confused with The Angel, which is the High Gothic name for an immeasurably powerful creature of Aeldari Mythology. Not to mention all the different uses of “Knight”, “Blood”, and oh, did we talk about the Space Wolves and all the instances/names using “Wolf” in their books? Just to name few. Just a suggestion.

The best part about Rebel Moon is that it was orginally pitched as a Star Wars movie and Lucasfilm rejected it more that once, and they weren't the only ones to reject it. Warner Bros also rejected it a couple times. This thing is a twisted abomination of random sci-fi bits that Snyder stitched together into something worthy of the flesh sculpters of the Drukhari. And just like the poor victims of the Haemonculi covens, it's absolute agony as it writhes across our screens is truly horrific to behold. He dragged it around showing it to the various studios for years making slight alterations until he found somebody who would pay him subject everyone to this horror. And the worst part is somebody decided he needed to make two of them.

@@Dracobyte That's Wolf's Rain or something like that. Jin-Roh is alternate WW2 where Germany steam rolls Russia and invaded Japan and now the war is over; Japan has these protect gear troopers to deal with the uprisings.

I'm not one of the seven Vostroyan fans, but I do approve of the wide variety of Guard regiments told by the lore, and condemn GW for failing to support their own lore with current miniatures.

Props to Guilliman for being ruthless/merciful enough to impose such a barbaric (& surprisingly light by 40k standard) penalty on Vostroya. Not only is it lenient, it creates a whole culture around war, heritage, and manages to inspire pride among the populace.

If GW actually did a Vostroyan Furstborn Range Refresh, I WOULD LEGITIMATELY BITE THE BULLET TO MY WALLET AND START A GUARD ARMY! I couldn’t give LESS OF A FUCK about Cadia, and I’ve met enough straight up Nazis who play Krieg, that it’s sort of tainted their image for me (if you like Krieg and AREN’T a straight up Nazi, AWESOME! I’m glad you found a faction you enjoy). But the Vostroyan Aesthetic, the Lore, THE VIBE! These guys have the most distinct Subfaction Identity I’ve seen since the Space Wolves, and it pisses me off to no end that GW isn’t making their models anymore!

This is a little overdue but hope you three like this. To paraphrase Brick: You listen to the biggest Catachan. He knows. The biggest Catachan has the biggest knife. You not question him he gut you. Biggest Catachan been around longest. You listen to him You line. Trust the biggest Catachan he help you. I am the one who is married to a drukhari wytch. I mean that in the best way. She is very good at making me feel extremely bad. You gave me a temporary membership THANKS!!! Become the a Pateron first of the year. You three are the best lore channel on KZfaq. Too bad Leutin. Been listening for about two year have gone back and listened to them all. Some many times. LOVE the episodes with Kirioth they are funny and wonderful. My armies are Tyranids, Drukhari, and, Military Tempestus. Thanls for all the coverage of my factions. Been listening for about two years. Have gone back and playing since 3rd edition. Thanks for all you three folks do. Look forward to you guys every week so much. Charles P.S. Anywhere we can see what DK and Shy look like. Just wanna see if they look like how I picture them.

Really impressed on how well you presented the Vostroyan Firstborn, even more surprised by Shy's deconstruction of the various historical inspirations for them. This video's got me pumped, might finally fucking paint my knock-off Vostroyan minis over the holidays

As the 8th fan of 7 of the Vostroyan Firstborn, the lore for them is criminally underrepresented.

@hunter5822 5 ай бұрын

25:00 that also poses an interesting idea since the vostroyan would also be generationally trained with the weapons they use, making them more effective than a guardsman issued a plasma gun out of no where for the first time in his life.

The Vostroyan are my favorite regiment of the guard, which is mostly the reason I haven’t picked up guard in my time playing the game. Might eventually 3d print like a kill-team maybe. Excited for this episode, they’re just little Firstborn.

The Vostroyan regiment and model range were not a '90's release. These were released for a Campaign Event (Medusa V) in the early 2000's, probably 2005. So, still quite old models. Imperial Guard regiments (with minuatures) from the 90's are Tallarn Desert Warriors, Mordian Iron Guard, Cadian Shock Troops, Valhallan Ice Warriors, Attilan Rough Riders and the Catachan Jungle Fighters. With a limited edition Praetorian regiment arguably also in the mix (late 90's). The first new regiment miniatures were the Armageddon Steel Legion, which was released in 2000 or 2001 (Armageddon Campaign event).
