Hey everyone! For those of you wondering what's up with a premiere, let me first start by saying that going forwards I'm gonna be setting a goal for myself to follow a (semi-)consistent upload schedule, starting with this upload! With that said, my intention with premiering this video is just so I can get started on a consistent upload date (Saturday) and NOT to torture y'all haha. If I hadn't set a premiere for this video, I would still have just uploaded it on Saturday anyways. Hope that clarifies some confusion!! Have a great day! tldr; Upload Schedule - Release/Premiere a cinematic every Saturday@10:00am (GMT-7:00, LA time basically) *Also, thanks for all the kind words and constructive feedback! I do try to read as many comments as I can and they really mean a lot to me (in a good way...?) :)

Chaos: ''Holly shit we just might win this!'' Dreadnought: ''Haha, Assault cannon goes brrrrrrrrt!''

I love how the Dreadnought is just standing there, mowing down waves of enemeys.

I think we should start a petition to change the name from Dreadnought to Tactical Lawn Mower.

The dreadnaught mowing down all those men reminds me of that scene from Astartes when the turret kills all its own men in the corridor

For the emperor, I shall stand here and wait!

"dreadnought runs low on ammo" well its a good thing not a single shot is wasted, then, since that area is so clogged with enemies a bolt shell would need to be considerably unlucky to actually miss a target

Brother-Commander: "We will gather our fallen brother's gene-seed, make repairs and reinforce our battlements. Brother. Patch me through to the PDF command. Because I WANT TO KNOW WHO WAS ON WATCH TO LET THIS HAPPEN??? (Fires up chainsword)(Pause) Heads are going to ROLL!!!"

4:36 The Blood Angels are not retreating, they're advancing backwards.

for once it's the Imperial Guard saving the space marines. Impressive.

Well, that was nice, imagine if it were Imperial Fists vs Iron Warriors. There would be no retreat, everybody would rush to kill the other.

4:42 Space Marine: I guess I'll just die now

Emergency report of Theta squad of the Republic commandos / Reconnaissance on Imperium planet Baal interrupted by hostile invasion Admiral Yularen, as per orders, Theta squad has continued its aggressive reconnaissance deep into the northern regions of this "Imperium", on the planet they call Baal. We gathered a lot of intelligence on the warrior-cults that they call Astartes, as they seem to have their main temple in this star system. As previously believed by Republic High Command, the warrior-monks of Baal are NOT the same as those “Ultramarines” that ambushed our forces at Christophsis. From our observations, the imperial’s monks of Baal, calling themselves the “Blood Angels”, are as much artists and poets as they are warriors. They really reminded us of the Jedi in their ways to focus on their inner control. They seem to believe that loosing control would cause them to fall into some sort of “Red Thirst”, which seems akin to a Jedi falling to the Dark Side. We are not Force experts, but you will find attached all our notes on the similarities between Jedi and Blood Angels. Our reconnaissance was cut short when a massive invasion force blasted its way past the Imperium’s Baal Defense Fleet, landing in a desert out of range of the great fortress-monastery of the Blood Angels known as the Arx Angelicum. A large armored clash happened as the non-augmented human servants of the Blood Angels, named the Imperial Guards, engaged those rebel humans in the plains west of the Arx. The battle lasted for a day, enough for Theta Squad to take advantage of the confusion to infiltrate the Blood Angel’s servants main air base in the region. We did not have any information on those invading forces, except that they were human, some augmented in the same way as the Imperium’s Astartes, and that they were in open rebellion against imperial rule. Making a beeline to the Arx Angelicum, it appeared as if those servants of “Chaos” were trying to take over the Blood Angel’s headquarters. Without any capacity to gain contact with the Chaos army, I took to heart the old saying that my enemy’s enemy is my friend. Thus, I lead Theta Squad to sabotage the Imperial Guard’s air assets in order to give the Chaos rebels time to attack the Arx Angelicum. Since they openly revolted against the Imperium, they had to be good guys, right? By detonating their fuel reserve, that they call Promethium, we caused a literal firestorm on the airbase. This destroyed at least a third of the Guard’s air force, and caused the rest of their assets to take off with much delay. Our reconnaissance gear stationed near the Arx Angelicum then started to send us a video feed of the Chaos assault. This is went things went from bad to worse. As their name should have let us guess, the forces of Chaos are not noble freedom fighters, and not even corrupted corporations as are is the Confederation of Independent Systems. They are a blood-crazed murder-cult, hell-bent on causing as much death as possible. They seem to venerate a “Blood God”, which may be a pageant representation of the Dark Side of the Force. Again, we’d need Jedi expertise to be sure. Not long after the mayhem we caused in the Imperial Guard’s air base, and mere minutes after their Valkyrie gunship took off to defend the Arx Angelicum, Chaos forces landed in drop pods all over the base. Then, the slaughter began. The non-augmented humans defending the air base were no match for the “Heretic Astartes”, and could only delay the fall of the base. The Chaos cultists, following close behind what seem to be their masters, proceeded to ritualistic sacrifice of the Guard’s prisoners. To our shock, those rituals caused unnatural horrors to emerge on the battlefield. Not the Dark Side ghosts and apparitions that sometime follow in the wake of the Sith, as we learn when we study the Great Galactic War. No, those demons of Chaos were nightmare given form, red monsters with claws and horns and blades of fire and blood. Admiral Yularen, I know the Imperium attacked us first and without provocation, but when I saw the true horror that Chaos was unleashing, I re-ordered Theta Squad to help the Imperial Guard to defend their base. Using our anti-armor weapons against the Heretic Astartes, we managed to ambush and kill many of them. Those enemies are, without a doubt, the deadliest that I have ever heard of, and it is my great regret that Theta Squad has lost 75% combat capacity during its engagement with the Chaos Marines. To our luck, the Chaos Daemons did not seem to notice us as long as we did not attack them. They behaved as frenzied feral animals, and at times, it felt as if they could not smell us. Not pushing our luck, we focused on the one threat that the Imperial Guard was disarmed against: the Chaos Marines. With Theta Squad’s help, the Imperial Guard managed to slow the Chaos advance long enough. Once the Guard’s air support turned the tide of battle at the Arx Angelicum, Imperium reinforcements consisting of both non-augmented humans and Blood Angels reinforced the air base. Using the confusion, Theta Squad escaped the air base and went back to our hidden underground base. It is my pleasure, Admiral, to report that Theta Squad has taken one of the non-augmented Chaos cultist prisoner. He calls himself a preacher. I will personally interrogate him, and try to understand what the threat of Chaos is all about. Once I know more about their pageant religion and what the preacher calls the “Great Four”, I will send a detailed report. And then, we’ll make those Chaotic monsters pay for the comrades we’ve lost. We’ll make them pay in blood. Republic commando - Theta squad - Authentication code JAAL-29-51 - Out.

7:14 Khorne Daemons are running away? The Blood God is NOT happy at all.

FOR THE EMPEROR!!!

The Dreadnought literally held the line by itself against 100 enemies.. Holy Emperor! It was nice to see the Blood Angels and Imperial Navy Prevail!

The area of the citadel that the Blood Angels first fell back to, that marine with a heavy bolter was an idea redirecting the weapon away from the entrance.. at that point, just point and hold the trigger because no matter waht you are going to hit an enemy. However, still damn cool scenario and animation

"Accurate recreation of historical events"

The first mistake the chaos forces made was not hiring the Iron warriors to help with a siege battle. No wonder they lost.

Glorious, brother!! You have served the Imperium well!! Death to the heretics!!

“WHERE’S MY FIRE SUPPORT?!”

Blood Angels: Oh look, they brought their ants out to play. Good thing we've got plenty of insect repellent! Dreadnought machine-cannon: AAAAAAAAA-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Damn man, this is amazing. You are really improving. A suggestion: I would try to use less text and try to communicate more with images. For example, if the imperial air support is delayed, maybe you could show us a scene where you see the planes take off, far away from the battle with some diologue "we'll be there in 5 minutes" or something. I do know this will require more time and effort and this is but a suggestion. Your content is amazing and I enjoy watching every video you make.

6:00 "By the Blood of Sanginius, By the tears of the Primarch. YOU WILL GO NO FURTHER!"

It would be cool if there were the Executioners chapter

I honestly have got to say, scripted battles of this scale are amazing to watch and having only recently found your channel, it made me go back and open my copy of MoW just to download the mod. I literally sat at my computer for three hours 😬 but enjoyed every second of it all! Thank you for introducing me to this!!😁👍💯

By my count that Dreadnought has about 7 tactical nukes waiting to go

Do not let GW take away this brilliant content

cool fortress and epic defense

What...well i wait until the end of time hahaha....

Maybe you can try halo mod(if it exist,since it is one of the sci-fi that have enough ground forces detaild,and SW is a bit bored(even we know WH40k always win),you may try others too,it may be fun

I was expecting to see more units like terminator units or ext.

HOW DARE THESE CHAOS FILTH DESECRATE THIS HOLY PLACE WITH THEIR FOUL PRESENCE!!!!! THEY WILL KNOW FEAR!!! FOR THE EMPEROR!!!!!!

Damn! I’m gonna watch your entire 40k backlog now! Great stuff 👏🏼

That was awesome!!!!! I love this style of battle. It’s like a besiege battle. And I like how the attackers had to fight different layers of the fight like outside of the citadel and than inside. I think I like this style of fight than a d-day style fight.

REALLY well done man, good job. This is amazing

That one chaos marine at 7:14 : "Oh shit, gotta catch up to the tanks, oh god oh fuck-"

The Daemons are running away, looks like they changed allegiance to Nurgle now.

Story and spectacular animations. You have done it again!

lol at 7:14 that chaos marine do be running real quick for his life realizes air support is here, *proceeds to outrun a tank* *I AM SPEED*

*cracks servos and mechanical fingers* "Stand behind me brothers. They shall feel the wrath of my brrrrt gun!."

*''I have dug my grave in this place, and I will either Triumph or I will Die! No pity, no remorse, no fear!''*

!!!THE TROOPS OF THE FALSE EMPEROR ARE RETREATING!!! !!!ADVANCE BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!! !!!SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!!! !!!TO THE SLAUGHTER!!!

That is some bad ass kicking action.

Awesome 👍. These videos are so freaking cool. Keep them coming.

Thank you for choosing the right chapter

Bro. Awesome EFFORT!!!👌

"Assault on a prepared position is costly" learned that one back in -3K

Facepalm. Tactics died in the forefront. Pointless and merciless.

Random Imperial Fist Marine: Needs MORE FORTIFICATIONS...... Meanwhile Random Iron Warrior Marine: Imma gonna SIEGE this mans whole FORTIFICATIONS...

In the case of a Space Marine Chapter Fortress being invaded you would also have Chapter Serfs and Servitors manning artillery positions and automated defences. Chapter Serfs generally see to the day to day managing of the fortress but some are trained to fight to Imperial Guard levels to defend Chapter assets like ships and their Chapter Fortress.

looked awesome. Would love to see a a series come out of this. like space marines defending a planned from something like necrons or tyranids or chaos

Can we see the third part of the criptosis siege? 😍

Absolutely amazing

More!!! This is great. I’m currently binging all you 40k shit. It’s glorious.

I expected the air support to arrive too late and realizing the marines are all dead, they'd purge the whole area with cleansing fire in a cute little exterminatus fashion.

Someone should name that badass dreadnought who held off the bridge

What? No bersekers? Some oblit's would open that dread up quick.🥰 love your work!

This is so beautiful!

That was great!

ive been reading through the horus heresy so its nice to see a loyalist victory for once

Bravo monsieur c'est du beau travail !

Going to ask until it happens. Would like to see 40k admech against another 40k faction please.

Wow!!!! Look like wonderful!!!

That was so good.

Makes sense - one emergency, one Dreadnought.

You forgot one of the greatest weapons the Blood Angels have ..... THE DEATH COMPANY. !!!!!!!! But a great vid, always good to see my chapter in action.... LONG LIVE THE GOD-EMPEROR !!!!! DEATH TO THE HERETICS !!!!!

That dreadnough kill count must be higher than the entire platoon of guardman combine :)

Why can’t it be sooner I’m so sleepy

Which legion were those foul heretics!!? Dreadnought was like "Oh boy here i go brrrrrrrtt again!!"

I wish i could make stuff like this, or at the very least script battles somewhat like this. Keep up the warhammer 40k battles i love these battles to a T!

Space marine: were saved Guardsmen: rise marine, you saved yourse-...this...this isn’t right... Space marine: ...

Dreadnought: Witness Me!

This was a nice skirmish

The dreadnought be the real MVP here.

Отличное видео!

great clip!! surprised by the pile of sandbags in laser-gun era.

chaplain: hey boys dont you think they ALL look like horus chaos marines: n...no we dont

Those Demons of Khorne were like fuck that I’m not going in there

I am a Warhammer 40k hobbyist and would very much like it.

6:54 "what the, reinforcement. Reinforcement have arrived "

Awsome how the wings of liberty just mowed down all of the armour

The Imperium's Finest's forgot to close the door ;-)

Loved it because air support comes from the wings of the aeronautica imperialis and not from the chapter

Dreadnought coming in clutch.

5:04 - that moment a siege becomes Bloons Tower Defense

spenlid work!

BloodAngels doing the Imperium proud. 14 Battle Brothers amd 14 Scouts for 800 chaos warriors and marines.

Ah the Dreadnought, because sending grandpa to the nursing home just wasn't badass enough.

First thing first, this is amazing. I love WH (mostly Fantasy, 40k) and i am sad, that there is not really much of GOOD games from these universes. But i am again and again amazed, what can moders do with game with completely different setting :) And just nitpicking: 5:05 Adeptus astartes are ABSOLUTELY DEADLY in close combat for regular humans, even trained soldiers. They are very fast (this is not pictured properly in a lot of games :-( but it is nicely seen in the "Death of Hope Trailer 1 - War on Sathus" ), they can kill man with one hit of empty hand. Chains sword and even the SM combat knife are more than enough to cut in a half soldiers in flak armor. On the other hand soldiers (Astra militarum like) have no weapons that can wound SM or even damage their armor much. Few exeptions are Hot-Shot lasguns, plasma and melta based weapons, grenades. And all of them are hardly usefull in close combat agains so (surprisingly) fast oponents. In this scenario some Space marines would probably still used the ranged weapons. But some of them should advance in to the melee against the charging infantry and hold them in the gate. They would play for the time, until the air forces arrives and to mitigate their (SM) loses. I know melee is much harder to animate properly and it would be a lot of more work to do. This is just me nitpicking, because i think melee is a big important part of WH40k (30k). Even so i do very much like this video :)

You:Blood angels in a battle without meele. Me: sad chainsword noises.

WAAAAAAGH BEST VIDEO !!!!!!

Gibs for the gibs god! Chunks for the chunk throne!

what a Battle Just epic

May the Force be with the Emperor, hallowed be his name. 👑

dear vxv Tactics i love your vids ther so asome ples never ever stop ps your grate

Just finished devastation of Baal, good timing

Awesome really just fantastic I just have one small suggestion to make the space marines

Seemed like the armor just stopped dying entirely when the infantry moved up, and they were getting endless infantry respawn at the bridge crossing. That was a lot more casualties than it seems they could have brought with what made it to the foot of the citadel.

That was sweet
