      Sisters are among the best of the best. They're training every bit as rigorous and deadly as that of Space Marines recruits. Do or do not there is no try, there is only death in their failure, depending on the Order. For female humans and even male humans, they must prove that they are the most capable and faithful soldiers before they receive the full power armor, combat drugs and occasional augmentations.

      The problem of urban warfare. You can be surprised at any time, but in a city, especially a ruined one, there is a lot of places where you can get shot from and things to hide behind.
      Fatigue will dull your perception. Any moment of distraction or not looking in the right direction can be a death sentence.
      A sad fate but not an uncommon one.

      @@kingskelett6265 City-fights, especially in super-cities is a fucking nightmare. Thanks to the dimensionality and the over abundance of cover and concealment, you could very well be mere meters away from your opponent at all times and in every direction. But paradoxically, you must expose yourself or cross linear hazards where you are viewable from possibly kilometers away.
      Either way, there's a chance you'll have to discriminate between combatants and civilians at a distance or with half a heartbeat to decide whether to pull the trigger on the human silhouette you just saw.
      Furthermore, the air and water is toxic (or at the very least carcinogenic) from all the burning materials and unprocessed sewage and the buildings you walk on could be losing their stability moment by moment.
      Luckily, we haven't had to experience that is in the US. But If there is one thing I'd say is nightmare fuel, its clearing staircases. That shit still gives me sweats.

    Regarding the zombies, it's all apart of the aptly named Pariah Nexus. There's some written lore on it in some White Dwarf magazines back during the 9th edition launch and such. Really creepy and depressing too, the Imperium really isn't prepared for any of what the Necrons bring to the table during the campaign.
    Also, during the series, when the Deathmark is hunting the Ultramarine it's been speculated that it's the same Veteran Sergeant from the 9th edition launch video and Danica is the SoB (they share the same scar on their face).
    Additionally, the Sister's faith and the Ecclesiarchy are actually the only reason the battle continues at all. Early on it's determined that the populations of various planets affected by the Nexus have been 'rendered' down by the Necrons. As the fighting begins, the Imperium holds their ground, even gaining some, before the Astra Militarum regiments start reporting mass blindness and the outbreak of the zombie plague. Only the Space Marines and various religious fanatics and groups are able to resist the nexus' effects; the Space Marines because of who and what they are, the Sisters and various hangers on because of the power of their faith - it acts as a shield for those around them as well.
    Like I said, it's a great campaign and sticks with just how horrible the Necrons are as enemies. Another excellent campaign worth reading is the FW book, The Fall of Orpheus.

    Personally, I like to believe the Guardsman is a vision sent by the Emperor. She says things that I don't think even a Guardsman would say or know and I don't believe Sister Danica knew the Guardsman well enough to form some kind of bond for her to hallucinate her. I think the Emperor is trying to save her soul and bring her onto the right path.

      @@wiilovLikely not, there is plenty of lore of Pariah nexus in 9th edition. What seems to be the case is the case is the nexus effects people differently, with those who has a weak faith falling to its influence(zombies). While people with strong beliefs are protected and those around them.
      My guess is that the sister due to being exposed for a long period of time starts to have wavering faith, which leads to hallucinations which would try to break her faith or challenge it.

    Counterpoints, I’ve been enjoying your videos on WH and you’ve got me interested. Note, I’m interested in the stories, I’m NOT putting any money to collect and paint miniatures. I’ve got too many hobbies already.
    One thing that keeps me from delving in is that the stories and the lore still seem to me to be haphazardly slapped together without thought to meaning.
    I like analyzing stories, to discern what the author(s) are trying to tell us. I’m having trouble in discerning what messages the stories are trying to convey. To me, the WH universe seems to be a collection of dramatic stories/factions/histories that have nothing to offer outside of immediate, dramatic entertainment.
    Maybe I’m wrong. But this is something I’ve wanted to discuss with you for a while.

    That was a "single" skorpekh and was it not for Danica our salamander would have been turned into diced veggie.
    I like how there isn't any plot armour here other than coincidence and if we were to remove said coincidence then there would have been a lot more destroyers and other necron variants swaqrming the party.

    the story is truly a touch by the black library. They love to have 2 or more plot lines going on parallel.
    A human perspective in the story, such as the sister; whether she is delusional, or unreliable narrative.
    Then a glimpse of hope, such as lonely salamander; whether he survives or not XD its better to be open ended.
    A galactic size asshole running the show, and even he is beaten, it's equivalent to spitting at a person's long casting shadow.
    It neither inconsequential nor memorable to him.

    Just a BTW. I can't remember which exact video, but you were disappointed by the lack of swordplay and general tactics of an episode of Hammer and Bolter, i believe it was "A matter of faith" To simplify what you said for the future: HEMA is what you're talking about. "Historical European Martial Arts" :)

    it kinda makes sense why to send the deathmark instead of just letting the destroyers and mind zombies do the job
    the destroyers seem melee focused and do not know of the word ambush
    the ultra marine survived this long, possibly killed at least a FEW destroyers by keeping his distance and firing as he falls back
    the squad of gaurdsmen probably fled whenever persued by a destroyer and using their small sature and scattering to confuse the destroyer
    and then as soon as the deathmark boi shows up
    he takes out the ultramaine
    he takes out the gaurdsmen
    takes out the sister of battle and NEARLY takes out the salamnder with her
    the deathmark knows to kill he can ambush and take out from a distance

    Like the channel! Can you handle some positive critiic? I am glad your sound isnt crap anymore! Probably has a touch more room to improve, louder is usually better since I watch on ipads usually. I love the Warhammer videos, but I feel as though you are going through a dryspell and may want to branch out into some other anime since GW doesnt have anything new coming out that I know of. Anyways keep doing what your doing!

    Interesting side note about “turning the other cheek” in historical times in the Middle East. It used to be a challenge to someone of higher status than yourself. Typically they would slap you back handed, if you turned the other cheek, they would have to slap you with the palm - regarding you as equal. If they slapped you with the palm, you could fight back. The West’s translation interpreted this as passive compliance, not rising to someone’s bait and being the bigger person by not fighting.

    2) how did Sa'Can manage to track down the Deathmark when he had used his teleporter to return to the oubliette.
