This will be a great warm up for DragonSteel Nexus next week. Can't wait to see the army builds

My son has a reputation at our FLGS as "The guy who does melee with Tau". Not that he is successful with it, he just does it because he says it's fun. That is the army he started with, he's starting a Knights force with the new battleforce box.

As an Army Engineer myself, I completely cosign the Imperial Fists. Also Army Civil Affairs is a good one for Word Bearers as well.

Maybe not the best for the Tyranids but Devastation of Baal has a lot of really cool Tyranid moments and parts. The bits about the lictor were so cool to read.

The CIA - Alpha Legion connection makes a lot of sense!

Don't actually play the tabletop, just a lore nerd, but this was a really cool concept for a video! Thoroughly enjoyed it, bravo

Loved the recommendations. I have a few to shout out!!! Kasrkin- Edoardo Albert (kroot focus) Dark imperium - guy Haley (named greater deamons) The Lords of silence - Chris wraight (death guard 40k) Shroud of night - Andy Clark (alpha legion/sisters/imperial fists) Blood of Iax - Robbie macnieven (orks and ultramarines)

The next video looks like fun!

I like that series.. it's pretty fun he does have a problem or two >.> but it's a fun one.

I love this series! I'll have to try this on the tabletop.

Great video, I love this channel as I am very happy to see that there is an appetite for narrative and lore based wargaming. I would like to know: what is the thought process is for selecting the army lists/force compositions to fit the set narrative? Once again great video, God bless!

I'm reading eisenhorn right now enjoying it so far though some of it is a little dry

Very handsome man ❤

The Machine God is pleased and remember always watching

Great series makes me laugh, skippy is such an enjoyable arse hole. I recommend the audio books v well read by RC bray.

Can't wait!

Thanks dog, I’ll try it!

The female Magus kit in GSC can easily be used a psyker. Either as-is or in a kitbash.

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll add it to my to-read list.

Started a few weeks ago. With eisenhorn and ciaphas cain. My question is do you think it’s worth diving into all of the horus heresy once I get more of the other books under me

Almost everyone makes a mistake when trying to build their astra militarum armies, lore accurate. The same mistake is made by the gw hobby team: for example a player wants to play with the 4th Cadian regiment. The infantry is from the 4th Cadian regiment, the tanks are from the 4th Cadian regiment and the kaskerins are from the 4th Cadian regiment... WRONG! Because the lore explains to us that, for example, the 4th Cadian is a line infantry regiment... The motorized infantry, the tanks, the kaskerins cannot be part of the 4th Cadian regiment. The leman russ will come from an armored regiment. Probably during a war a combined forces formation will be created under the command of officers of the 4th Cadian but I don't think it makes sense to have Kaskerin or Leman Russ with the insignia of the 4th Cadian... This is especially true when using very specialized regiments... For example if you want to play Tanith only the light infantry will be Tanith, mechanized infantry will be from another regiment, the same artillery, tanks and everything else.

This is a cool idea! I've never thought about doing this.

you should talk about the dark angels, thousand suns, or tyranids

Ooh. Do Guant's Ghosts

I find the Tau super interesting you should do something with them

I got mine this morning! Can't wait to get into book 2.

I have an all primaris 3rd Brotherhood army led by Kor’sorro and I built it to be primarily hit and run infantry with 3x 3 Outrider squads (because that’s all that you could run at the time). I also run 2 Glad Valiants. It’s good at scoring but not great at surviving… but I haven’t played since 9th.

This was really cool! I'd never heard of these guys before.

Thank you for making this ! I’m newer to warhammer and the scars are my chapter and whole building my army this has been my biggest predicament but not anymore !

Can't wait! I already have mine pre ordered.

IW fans have wanted a novelization of The Iron Cage for nearly two decades now. A 40k version/rematch would be great.

I would love to read any of these stories!

👍👍👍.

Don't forget Try Again

3 regiments at founding not companys

So looking forward to the Lore Accurate Blood Angels!

Excellent video, thank you. God bless.

Great Video dude!

No chris wraith? Should give the khan series a try

Great list. I would have move adb up. Also you missed William King; he got me into the 40K universe. He is in my top 5.

My dude much appreciated right after my bday.

I think Peter Watts does a lot of stuff thats got a lot of the same spirit as 40K. His omnibus called Fire Fall has two novels in it that are set soon in earths future but give a very 40K vibe. It’s almost a little cyberpunk given human modifications, but there’s also a race of predatory vampires that humans enslaved, and an ominous object near Jupiter that seems to be observing earth. Worth a read! Also, the novel Annihilation has some excellent science fiction horror that could take place in the 40K universe. There’s a movie starring Natalie Portman that, while decent, is nothing like the books plot or quality. The Deep by Nick Cutter is also a good shout. The prose is a little too pulpy for me but I enjoyed the plot for what it was, and again, sci-fi horror done quite well.

Thanks for a great video! I’ve been in and out of 40K for about 20 years and Dan Abnett was always considered the gold standard. I remember reading Pestilence, a short story in the Deathwing Anthology, and it set the bar absurdly high for all other authors at the time. I’ll need to give Mike Brooks’ stuff a try though, that’s some pretty high praise. I’m reading some of Peter Fehervari’s stuff right now. Worth checking out if you haven’t. Do you take video ideas? If you do, how about recommendations based on genre? I’m always up for 40K but sometimes I feel like something more comedic, or horror, for example. I think pretty much most genres are accounted for now under the Black Library banner.

Good list and I am stoked to finish Horus Rising so I can check out your number 1 🎉

This is an awesome idea. I've loved playing this game.

This looks like an awesome video! Can't wait to see it and can't wait to see you at DSN!

Subscribed because I dig the content! I haven't played tabletop in over a dozen years, but I love the lore. Just finished Know No Fear by Abnett. Fantastic book!

Dude, thanks. TH-cam didn't give me the notification on this. Been looking forward to this.

Imagination and creativity is important. Everyone has their own things they love about something as long as Everybody shares a mutual love for something thats great.

Love the idea but I would probably play Hellblasters instead of Heavy Intercessors because Plasma go wooooosh 👉😎👉
