Glad I missed it.

I can’t believe they managed to fit “distraction carnifex” in the narration. 10/10 - lovely stuff

in the beginnning salvoes you can see an officer shooting lasers out of his hand at the back

This is what Men of War 2 should have been! Also I only counted 999,999 😂 jk

The Imperial Guard travelling in cattle cars seemed appropriate

i like how light is slower than bullets

So I’m thinking of doing a base night lords blue and splotches of green on a Norn Emissary

Remember, this is just the second wave, of the first wave.

Amazing, so looking forward to the next instalment

Love the video! Really neat to see the match up, and I also really like the sound effects.

In another world; while the Helldivers are busy kicking around in the rear closing nests, reactivating E-710 facilities and hunting for samples, SEAF battalions do their best to hold the bulk of the Terminid swarm back.

Trying to apply actual military science to wh40k is like smearing peanut butter on the wall and ascribing it meaning, though. I suppose modern art is a thing...

The space marines are on their way right?.....right?

Great video. The Aztecs were a warrior tribe that were ferocious and non-bending. Many tried to stop the Aztecs but failed and later were vassalized by the Aztecs.

I was waiting for this!

As long as the hive fleet is in orbit it's an infinite amount

Amazing work, can't wait for the next part

A step by step visual of a tyranid invasion has been something ive wanted since i was around 9 years old, not even kidding. This series has been a dream come true for the geeky child in me. Thank you so much for these videos!

Would love to see the true size of an imperial guard regiment though! Love the series soo far

Didnt know Scroobius pip was a roman soldier

Seeing the sheer scale of 40k visualised is always a stunning sight. I'd love to see you guys cover the Adeptus Mechanicus next, maybe with some Mechanics aligned Knights or Titans!

More dune content please :)

Those big boys, no matter how strong their shell is, it won't stop the concussive force of really dense high explosive and will cause their organs to liquify. At the very least. Physics is on the guards side for that one aspect.

Hands down the best piece of 40K fan fiction ever made.

LET'S GOOOOOO!!!

One thing to note, the Valkyrie is actually an Armed Transport - its a sign of how upgunned everything is that it gets impromtu service as a gunship.

1 x 25km diam RKV at 10% c would vaporize anything on the planet. More practical than this silliness.

Just fyi, i think chitin pronounced "kite-in" not "chit-en"

Really enjoying you getting into the nitty-gritty if Imperial Logistics. Though I may just be a weirdo...

DISTRACTION CARNIFEXES, LET'S GOOO!

The grass seas of the mongol steppe are breathtaking

so my question is, is how does the army group have such a mix of armoured, artillery and infantry assets, cause my understanding is that each regiment is either an infantry, mechanised/armoured and artillery regiment so that they're each easy to crush if any turned traitor? There are very few planets/regiments that are allowed to use combined arms such as Krieg as one example. Is the army corps just multiple different regiments combined?

Fantastic! Awesome! Amazing! It's not exactly lore accurate but it's how I've always viewed the guard in my hear canon and honestly GW and black library should take some notes. Like....this is what a real military organization would look like.

Mongols we’re and still some hard hard hard people

The one thing you quickly learn when fighting full spectrum campaigns against decent tyranid players is never let them make planetfall or even orbit, you must stop them out in the deep dark of space with the Imperial Navy or assorted secondary forces (Space Marines, Mechanicus, etc.). If you fail that, you're counting the future of inhabited planets in months at most.

Its really important to note that the “native civilians” of Gaza aren’t native. In a modern history sense, they are squatters. Or we could go past modern history. The ottoman occupation, crusades, muslim conquest, pre-islam Christianity, the roman occupation, the greek occupation, the Persian occupation, and before that the..jews. And before that egypt and Hittites and Philistines.. of all ethnicities and religions, the jews get the old oldest claim. Though pre-arab Egyptians could claim it prior to that. With the babylonian and assyrian occupations before then. Gaza is full of arab Muslims. The latest group to the party. Technically Italians have an older claim than they do. But in modern history the last “occupation” was Britain. When Britain was in control and created the official Israeli state, that land was Israel. Gaza is officially on paper Israel, period stop. Then it was illegally invaded and settled by muslim Arabs. Suddenly these invaders were conveniently “natives”. Just cause someone squats on your front lawn doesn’t mean they own the deed to your house. Then Israel attacked and took it back. Then the Oslo accords tried to peacefully settle this. Israel offered to give up that land to the new “inhabitants”. Palestine rejected it. If you go to a car dealership, and the dealer gives you a sales form, and you reject it, you dont own the car. Then they cite that rejected offer as “evidence” that it is their land. So this aint an unjust genocide. Its the landlords giving the squatters the boot from their property.

The swarms of Gargoyles will block out the sun(s), but the Guard will be there to make sure the front’s well lit.

Sofa (The original Ottoman lol) is a Mandinka term for slave soldiers who served in the army of the Mali Empire. The word sofa translates into English as "father of the horse" (so means horse, and fa means "father") or "guardian of the horse". This term stems from the original function of the sofa as a caretaker for the horse or horses of a cavalry commanders Muslim Berbers and Mamluks as European style heavy Calvery and their trusty Sofa Mansa Musa came to power in 1312 C.E., after the previous king, Abu Bakr II, disappeared at sea. Mansa Abu Bakr II had departed on a large fleet of ships to explore the Atlantic Ocean, and never returned. (oh really maybe they washed up in Portugal) Mansa Musa developed cities like Timbuktu and Gao into important cultural centers. He also brought architects from the Middle East and across Africa to design new buildings for his cities. Mansa Musa turned the kingdom of Mali into a sophisticated center of learning in the Islamic world empire. What about this says West African people other then location. It does say Canaanites. You see Carthage in antiquity grew to become the greatest power of the mediterranean as the centuries passed they became the masters of commerce to understand what happened to them briefly you must understand this the word Punic can be used to describe one of two different things it's an adjective it could be used to describe well Carthaginians because Punic meant that something was Phoenician descended from Phoenicians and of course the mythical phoenix that obtains new life by rising from the ashes of its predecessor, You know the Phoenician language was called Punic, Punic as an adjective can also mean TREACHEROUS. I would like you to call your craziest uncle and ask him what he thinks of the Jews do it I dare you

Thanks!

Another great video with great animation!

Your use of the term “distraction carnifex” caught me off guard. I love how professionally you used it in your video!

i think the integrity of this channel is gone with the constant spamming of a predatory non game from a shady developer... yall can do better. money hungry to the point your channels quality is going down hill fast.

this might be nitpicking, but for the next episode, could you do something about the heavy bolter gun emplacement models sticking through the back of the soldier "cutouts"? everything else was well done, though

Why not just land behind the lines?

A fantastic watch! my kind of docu-series!

Finally a channel doing 40k style battles

That starting flyover really puts into perspective the mind-boggling scale of outgoing fire from an Imperial defensive line.

Excellent work and incredible reenactement

holy crap the tyranids are brutal

In the future, I assume there will be tunnelling organisms which inexplicably can tunnel in a matter of hours, not months. Same operations which with very expensive and massive modern drills take months to accomplish! Also, completely silent and unexpected too! Inexplicably making perfect tunnels for waves of other organisms to conveniently burst out in an instant? I know all of bad writing tricks. That one is getting pretty old with Tyranids! :D
