@@Tacoguy1000 Technically speaking yes, but 40k has little to no naval warfare. The reason is that a fleet is too easy to destroy from orbit. Any fleet big enough to do some serious damage is also big enough to be targetable from orbit and if you spread the fleet out enough for it to be safe from orbital bombardment you have also diluted the firepower of the fleet so much that it's pretty much useless. Let's also not forget that even a missed salvo of orbital bombardment can still destroy huge chunks of your fleet simply through the giant waves the bombardment causes. The only places that have a serious navy are planets like ocean worlds and even there most of their naval fleets are submarines because submarines can't be found from orbit. Orcs though sometimes build warships even on planets with only small oceans because a warship can pack truly ridiculous firepower and orcs don't care about being bombarded from orbit^^ For an idea how such a ship might look like: i.warosu.org/data/tg/img/0370/10/1419780245894.jpg

So true... I wish the siege of vraks never ends. This together with the orc invasion of armegaddon are such underrated masterpieces. He should sell audiobooks
So at what point will the Space Marines respond? I would think the presence of MULTIPLE warbands of traitors would be a great incentive for several Chapters to join the fray.
They are kind of like the dragons in game of thrones, they first have to have to have the imperial guard hard pressed so they can appear in their drop pods as deus ex machina. Granted dozens of specialists for a chaos space marine is a hell of a good deal. A guy worth a planet of people for just twelve dudes? Make that trade all day every day :P
Honestly I say “beware what you ask for”, cause MAJOR SPOILER ALERT! Not only will the space marines move their power armored asses finally, but so will the grey knights. Why is this a “beware what you ask for” moment? Well remember how stupid the tactics of the dark angels were? Yeah by imp. Armor vol.7 (siege of vrax pt.3) the imp. Guard is mostly just tanks and the entire bloody conflict devolves into Mary Sue slapfighting and Daemonic bullshittery as all tactics and strategy are thrown out the window for geedubs’ brand of “glorious” combat. (Ok, not ALL tactics, it could be worse, hell geedubs’ writers usually do way worse than that, but you get what I mean, the second those idiots enter scene it’s like the writers loose half their fucking brain for no reason.) hell the first time we see space marines was somewhere in book 6 and I’d swear we should’ve seen them by now so I’d say Arch might be deliberately avoiding those parts precisely because they get a bit stupid. This is a bane veterans of the franchise will probably remember because as I said before most GW books have this issue to some degree, the guard makes sense and looks intelligent and cool until the power armored morons make the empire look like a bunch a glory hogging brain dead lunatics that would make Khorne fucking proud (his prior incarnation when he was more than a glorified berserk), so if anything vrax is on the better side of the deal, but it still suffers from it like everything else. Hell at least we don’t see any MULTILASERS and this was long before we had to worry about the ultra ultra ultra ultra smurfs popping outa nowhere...
Am I the only one thinking to myself, “Wow! This whole war would make an awesome game in the Battlefront 1 format with two sides of 50 players hurling each other at the other, fighting to the death over bunkers, check points, and buildings all while utilizing aircrafts, tanks, and then at some point calling in reinforcements in the forms or Krieg Death riders or chaos spacemarines!”?

Just found im off from work on this friday. Arch's Vraks notification pops up 5 seconds later. It's true the Emperor really does protect the faithful!!!😭😭😭
Holy shit, Arch. I was waiting for you to finish up then listen to these back to back. It's turning out longer than the entire game of thrones catalogue... Think I'll make a start now, otherwise Bannerlord will be released and I won't have tome to watch D:
Somehow listening to Siege of Vraks story became one of my favorite past times. The colorful and slightly brutal story telling plus that damn sexy voice ^^ Hats down to you dir sir. Wheeelll Done, whell done indeed. Give me more!! More story!! More Waar!! Moore Blo... ekhm. Yes, yes do carry on ^^
I discovered it with The Wolf's Corner. It's not that colorful and detailed, but it is an easy to digest format. Plus, he does highlight the brutality of the conflict and the stupid... sorry, _tactical genius_ of Lord Commander Fatas... Zuehlke. :-)
Kinda confused by how that breach was handled. I mean, they were at it for literal days, so why were they so slow to say "oh, they've deployed astartes? Send in the armor piercing weapons!" Grenadiers are supposed to be trained in specialized weaponry, so I would've thought that plasma guns and melta weapons would be called up almost immediately after the berserkers attacked. The troops above ground would have to surrender their specialist arms, but that seems a minor strategic inconvenience against putting down space marines occupying a key objective.
I wonder how many death korpsmen dying to kill how many berserkers that died would be considered as a worthwhile trade for various people. And comparatively how it would've been for any other guardsman regiment, especially the more famous and/or elite ones.
You could almost imagine the smile on a death corps guardsmams face knowing that the new commander had decided up open the war for them into the third dimension. If you can imagine anything over the mouse of frantic digging, constant explosions, frequent screaming and carefully aimed counterfite amidst the sounds of panicking defenders. That he was not included in an oath of vengeance after a RETREAT (such cowardice, at least let the forward elements become rearguard martyrs via melts charged linked to their life signs) speaks volumes in how sure they were that the engineer corps will not be away fro the front lines any longer than duty requires. Indeed you could be almost fooled into thinking that any guardsmen would be tempted to salute for almost a moment longer than regulation requires before spotting the insignia of a loyal, valuable kriegsman and knowing better than to expect less than perfect adherence to proper protocol.
Nah, a boss rat has to find ways to get his minions to die, but a Kriegan commander has minions who want to find that bullet with their number. Both give as much of a damn, though...
I wonder if anybody had considered igniting the underground ammunition storages; an explosion of millions of shells, warheads and other volatile materials would blow out the floor under the Vraxian‘s feet. Then again, if one were to build storage facilities for half a galaxies worth of ordinance it stands to reason the the bunkers would be hardened against such a scenario...
I love your lore videos on 40K. I have never played the game and do not plan on it, but your lore videos have inspired me to start buying and reading the novels!

Under rated. Especially in podcast 2.0 compliant aps where key pictures could be included, and would switch as the podcast played. It would also expand his market/base.
Whilst sound is the best way in theory to find someone of another party whom is also underground, the best way in practice is often simply digging till you dig into their tunnel with hell under earth (in this case Vraks) ensuing from said mining/counter mining

Don't know if you've seen it, but the Skaven vs LM DLC has been announced and looks amazing, Skaven getting their Under Empire!
Just found im off from work on this friday.
Arch's Vraks notification pops up 5 seconds later.
It's true the Emperor really does protect the faithful!!!😭😭😭
32:28 Fighting underground is beneath a Space Marine
IT would be exclusively close quarters combat
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!!!!!
That's when you just collapse the tunnel and make a new one.
@@eternalsentinel2089 You can't collapse a tunnel, IF YOUR HEAD IS ALREADY REMOVED!
Ever heard of a deadman switch?
Holy shit, Arch. I was waiting for you to finish up then listen to these back to back. It's turning out longer than the entire game of thrones catalogue...
Think I'll make a start now, otherwise Bannerlord will be released and I won't have tome to watch D:
RULERofSTARS watch it at speed 1.5x he still sounds normal and it takes less time.
@@glutton85 pro tip
Legand has it that bannerlord will be out before are finishes Vraks...

Man I Love this series! You are the best, Loremaster Arch
A Vraks video and a Storytime with Arch mug full of hot chocolate, Fridays are wonderful!
1st showing of true Captain Marvel (SHAZAM for the young kids) or Arch video... ... ... guess I will be late for the movie.
Notices a new vraks video, DROPS EVERYTHING.
Ps. I am Alpharius
No I am alpharius
I don't believe you Omegon ;)
We are Alpharius
We are legion
i'm omegon
No I am Alpharius and so is my wife!!
I am gonna be honest, when you said that the Death Korps "carpet bombed" the enemy tunnels. Lovely people.
Captain Garis can relate to the feeling when there is lava right above the diamonds you just mined...
only instead of lava it was a skeleton sized cave dragon.
Here with my gasmask, my shovel, lasgun with bayonet ready to do some serious purging
Somehow listening to Siege of Vraks story became one of my favorite past times. The colorful and slightly brutal story telling plus that damn sexy voice ^^ Hats down to you dir sir. Wheeelll Done, whell done indeed.
Give me more!! More story!! More Waar!! Moore Blo... ekhm. Yes, yes do carry on ^^
I discovered it with The Wolf's Corner. It's not that colorful and detailed, but it is an easy to digest format. Plus, he does highlight the brutality of the conflict and the stupid... sorry, _tactical genius_ of Lord Commander Fatas... Zuehlke. :-)
Fridays are too far apart but that is a sacrifice I’m willing to make for such quality videos. Emperor be praised.
You forgot one other kreigg advantage. This is there home field. Underground combat is base for a kreigg guardsman.
Kinda confused by how that breach was handled. I mean, they were at it for literal days, so why were they so slow to say "oh, they've deployed astartes? Send in the armor piercing weapons!" Grenadiers are supposed to be trained in specialized weaponry, so I would've thought that plasma guns and melta weapons would be called up almost immediately after the berserkers attacked. The troops above ground would have to surrender their specialist arms, but that seems a minor strategic inconvenience against putting down space marines occupying a key objective.
YESSS! I've been waiting for this all day
I wonder how many death korpsmen dying to kill how many berserkers that died would be considered as a worthwhile trade for various people. And comparatively how it would've been for any other guardsman regiment, especially the more famous and/or elite ones.
Every week man this makes my Friday. Cheers
That was a great video Arch
You could almost imagine the smile on a death corps guardsmams face knowing that the new commander had decided up open the war for them into the third dimension.
If you can imagine anything over the mouse of frantic digging, constant explosions, frequent screaming and carefully aimed counterfite amidst the sounds of panicking defenders.
That he was not included in an oath of vengeance after a RETREAT (such cowardice, at least let the forward elements become rearguard martyrs via melts charged linked to their life signs) speaks volumes in how sure they were that the engineer corps will not be away fro the front lines any longer than duty requires.
Indeed you could be almost fooled into thinking that any guardsmen would be tempted to salute for almost a moment longer than regulation requires before spotting the insignia of a loyal, valuable kriegsman and knowing better than to expect less than perfect adherence to proper protocol.
Would it be inappropriate to yell "OH YEAH!" When you breach an enemy mine? Because if it is I'm not sure I can do this guys.
Oooooooo!! Pissed off Death Korps...
(Freshly made popcorn shrimp ready for munching for next episode!!!)
Shotguns and flamers eh?
Sound like my kinda boys.
One of the best series you have done yet my friend. I can hardly wait for every update.
The closest we will get to Skaven style warfare in 40k.
Need more warp stones and green glow but yes
Nah, a boss rat has to find ways to get his minions to die, but a Kriegan commander has minions who want to find that bullet with their number. Both give as much of a damn, though...
just persuade the Vraksians to dress up as Night Goblins and the illusion will be perfect
Great Video👍 Can you make a Video about the Regiments of Tallarn and Catachan?
It will be great
Is it pronounced catacan or catachan
@@aaronbiduk813 Chan
The noises of screaming, shouting, squelching, gun firing, chain axes reving, and chaos space marines roaring must've been utterly insane in 5546.
Pretty brutal tale, nice to hear that the lives of sappers doesn't change in the grimdark to modern day haha
I’m more shocked at the thought of lasguns not having a natural flashlight attachment since it can do everything except press a panini
I wonder if anybody had considered igniting the underground ammunition storages; an explosion of millions of shells, warheads and other volatile materials would blow out the floor under the Vraxian‘s feet.
Then again, if one were to build storage facilities for half a galaxies worth of ordinance it stands to reason the the bunkers would be hardened against such a scenario...
I love your lore videos on 40K. I have never played the game and do not plan on it, but your lore videos have inspired me to start buying and reading the novels!
That feeling when GW wont let your krieg engineers deploy to the battlefield via mines anymore :
Yes , it is Vraks o'clock .
Thank you Arch senpai , for making friday great :)
When the _Death Korps of Krieg_ thinks that you are crazy, that is saying _something_ ! :/
"Torrential downpours" both rain and shrapnel.
21:44 >worshipers of corn
The auto-generated subtitles are having fun with the series.
Loving the outer music now Arch. Cant wait for the next episode
"Captain Garrus"
So, how many times did he need to calibrate the charges before detonating them?
Vraksian Traitor: "WELCOME TO THE UNDERGROUND MUDAF---KA"
Kriegers: *ROARING AND SHOVEL SMACKING INTENSIFIES*
Thanks for these videos Arch! great entertainment. You should delve into more big battles like these more often
Damn fine job on this series Arch!
Great job as always sir. Thank you again
listened to this while on the treadmill....you would think it wouldn't pump me up but I dont need that I need distraction!
And boy did I get it :) good work!
(Also I watched 40k theory's video on M41 timeline and....spoilers :( , not his fault, mine for not turning off the video)
Don't blow the tunnels into the armories , reverse the flow of the pumps and drown all the vraksians that you couldn't stab to death .
I have been waiting all week for this very moment!!!!
Arch, have you ever considered putting up your episodes on the podcast app for iPhone? I would love to listen to lore all the time, especially when I’m not on WiFi and can’t use TH-cam.
Under rated. Especially in podcast 2.0 compliant aps where key pictures could be included, and would switch as the podcast played.
It would also expand his market/base.
The art on this one is quite good
Whilst sound is the best way in theory to find someone of another party whom is also underground, the best way in practice is often simply digging till you dig into their tunnel with hell under earth (in this case Vraks) ensuing from said mining/counter mining
I want to make a narrative campaign on the the whole siege
I love these shows thank you arch
Yeah being hunted down by a korne space marine underground is possibly the most terrifying thing you could possibly imagine..
