@@1inimilian567 Buddy, I've been asking for 6 months. I got a response from Brad (I think) and he said "here's to another 6 months 🍻". So get in line, because you've got a long ass time to wait.
I got here through the admech video game and ended up with not much interest in his model because I didnt know who he was lmao also led too pain when I found out the entire heretek faction doesnt exist in model form and I have to make them myself
I'm surprised that you guys didn't recognise or point out specifically body horror part of dragoons right behind that sensors part with tyrannosaur hands
Also, not being able to turn them back on is even more funny _because they're a perpetuum mobile_ Some techpriest casually made a machine that breaks the laws of thermodynamics and can walk forever, then was murdered so someone else can steal the design, but theycouldn't figure it out. (They sometimes but them into hamster wheels, both to keep them still and generate infinite energy)
38:17 Fun lore fact from the wiki about the Electro-priests: They are legally blind because all that electricity they channel through their bodies boils and melts their eyes so they run down the cheeks. Electro-Priests call that "Omnissiah's Tears" and see it (pun intended) as a sacred thing and thus are very grateful for this. So, instead of relying on their eyes to see, they sense electromagnetic signatures of things and living organisms and orient themselves that way, which kinda adds to their creepy/zealotus aesthetics
Fulgurites believe that they should absorb the motive force from hereteks while corpuscarii believe that they should use the built up motive force in their bodies to illuminate the hereteks by zapping them to death. This results in them not seeing eye to eye.
@@thepoorhammerpodcast HK-47. Listen to a youtube compilation of his best voice lines while painting some time. He's hysterically funny if you don't remember much from the game.
22:15 fun fact about skitarri, their heads and forearms are the exact same size as the one's on chaos marines. Little bit of kitbashing advice for Iron hands and Iron Warriors. The forearms of a primaris marine are longer than the chaos marine ones by the same length as the last circular piece of armour, meaning that you can simply cut off the skitarri arm, cut off that last circle of the marine arm and attach it instead to the elbow then attach the skiarri arm to it. Skitarri also happen to share the same base size as Cultists and Traitor Guard.
If you’re painting Cawl you better be comfortable leaving a job 98% complete because if you try to paint absolutely every detail and put effort into shading and highlighting every rivet, you will be painting until the end of time.
23:47 It honestly took me longer than it should have to realize that rangers and vanguards have the exact same body. The hoods drew my eyes to their robes more, and the helmets drew my eyes to the armor more.
Since the rangers and vanguard use different heads and arms you can buy 3rd party kits that are just new bodies and backpacks and get twice the models per box.
Ad Mech is the coolest looking faction in 40k, embracing the coolest and wackiest elements of the 40k universe. If only it didn't cost a used Honda Accord to get an army on the table...
This week's Shill% times are: 1:20 for Patreon, merch at 1:30, no TH-cam Pleasantries. AdMech, spindly? I don't know what you're talking about! my enginseer has no spindly bits on it that will break, at least by the time I finished painting it. A detail that I find funny about the chicken walkers is that there is a servitor at the front. For magnetizing the Dunecrawler, its decently easy to magnetize the weapons. You can do all of them except 1 by just slapping a magnet at the base of the turret and on the wheel.
32:55 Look closely. This model actually has a smaller guy underneath that's part of the machine. Someone at my LGS got it and thought it was cute, but then saw the penitent engine-looking guy underneath and about cried lol
that servitor can also burn out and the ironstrider starts hauling ass in one direction. A tech priest then has to chase it on a jet bike to replace the servitor
I’m a huge fan of AdMech, and for algorithm purposes I am going to spew some of my headcanon about their designs: I like to imagine that since the Ironstriders are able to be stationary on the tabletop (as in they aren’t required to move in the movement phase) that they are capable of just marching in place. I know lore blurbs contradict this since they have to wrangle them into corrals or onto treadmills for storage, but it’s funny to think of a firing line of big, stompy toy soldier legs. I picture the Archaeopters walking on their stubby legs as a means of taxiing, and that the spokes in their wings are on hinges like fingers to give functions like the control surfaces on regular plane wings. They could pull the spokes in close to dive like a bird. I can picture Onager Dunecrawlers breaking into a sort of gallop where all four legs come off the ground, with them doing this when charging. AdMech vehicles should not be thought of as the stiff, metal boxes you see in other factions and in real life. Most if not all of them are more like artificial bodies that the driver is installed into, often terminally. It would make sense for them to be more organic in their movement. They all have the Skitarii keyword because they are all just big prosthetics attached to a regular Skitarii.
It'd also be interesting that the most mechanical humans would have the most life like movement with their vehicles especially when they don't look alive. It's a cool juxtaposition!
It’s my brother’s birthday today, and this is an AMAZING gift! A thorough look at a Necron’s biggest rivals! So much information for him to use against you tin men!
I do have some advice for Dunecrawler magnetisation (that doesn't mean magnetising barrels): Every kit comes with three mantlets to attach the guns to. The Neutron and Erad get their own whilst the Icarus and the phosphor share the same, that we can solve later. You get 1 mounting point for the mantlet to attach to the tank itself. There are 3D prints that can make up for this. Get 2 extra mounting points and you can glue up the Erad and Neutron as you please. For the last 2 weapons I have picked the phosphor, treating it as an icarus array main gun when I stick the missile pod on the side (Obviously pick which you think looks coolest). I would recommend magnetising the end cap with the logo on it so you don't have an empty hole when swapping around, or so you could stick the missile pod on your neutron because it's funny. At the end I scrounged the cannons you would use for the Icarus and used them for the extra heavy stubber that the Neutron uses. Better yet you can swap the now 3 extra gun options with different crawlers If you are like me, and didn't magnetise your first one.
I can't wait to hear you talk about the pain of building/painting this army. I'm sure it'll only be *half* the pain Berilio will suffer editing this. Keep up the good work Berilio!
First! Because Eric and your first TH-cam video was my intro to Grey Knights and was what got me into them in 9th. Having Eric be an Orc is both heart breaking and lore accurate to 10th Ed GK. Keep it going lads
I prefer Eric as an orc because he always wanted to be an ork, and only did grey knights because Orks weren’t around for him to get! And then he had to suffer losing the psychic phase and hammers! Eric deserves to be an ork damn it!
Very happy to see some Admech love, my first 40k purchase was some Skitarii. Also, another fun detail about sulphurhounds is the heads are also modelled to look like a muzzled dog.
My first army was ad mech. Absolutely love my little tin soldiers. Also i made the fatal error of buying a terrax during 9e. It was cheaper back then but it still hurts looking back.
Something you missed about the chicken walker - if you look closely, it's actually a servitor. You can see the servitor's entire body contorted underneath the cockpit
I think it's less about how it's funny that they can't turn the walkers off but that they have a perpetual motion machine and they only use it to have a mechanical chicken.
As an AdMech player and someone who likes sweet great-uncle Cawl from the books - I could never bring him on the table top. The guy is obviously a Heretek! I like my weird imperium where nothing is going to get better because every faction is full of insane fundamentalists.
@@anhojghost8913in-universe Admech don't all know that. Quite accurate to irl fundamentalists too tbh, they're not gonna start liking Cawl just because the Emperor (presumably, to them) said he's "fine".
there are a lot of heretical forge worlds in loyalist admech, Stygies VIII has ork servitors and when Ryza was in the middle of 2 waaaghs they lifted prohibitions on innovation and almost every tech priest on the planet had a bunch of random weapons that they brought out to field test because they could now
If you're talking about 30k and kill team, the former is an entirely separate faction. The latter is a good point on a rules front, but doesn't mean much on a models front, in which they got effectively nothing.
@@thomaskamkar5197 I definitely wouldn't consider Mechanicum to be a separate faction, but it isn't something I'd want to argue with someone. If you're a tournament player it 100% doesn't count but if your focus is modelling and lore it 100% does. I was thinking 30k and Imperialis, the latter of which has done the impossible feat of giving Admech an affordable, easily painted army that you can get to the tabletop quickly. Everything they did in the other systems this year was a perfect compliment to what Admech offers in 40k.
As a beginner collector whose first army is AdMech, I am well aware of the pain and suffering that it entails and I wouldn't have it any other way. The first model I ever assembled was a serberys raider, and I am honored to be bestowed such a challenge from the Omnissiah himself. This faction is the entire reason I fell in love with 40k, and I love everything about them from the indescribably unique aesthetic to their nightmarish philosophy. Every single thing about them is a walking war crime. They're such a joy to put together too, especially thinking up new kitbashes. I'm currently working on a project where I'm adding my spare skitarii parts and mechanical bits to an Exaction Squad kill team to turn them from Arbites into Skitarii Proctors and it's so much fun to see it come together. Some fun facts to finish this off: Taser goads are more like cattle prods built for war than tasers as we think of. They discharge enough energy to fry the target's nervous system and melt organs, then direct it back in to recharge for the next blow. If you were to grind down any Skitarii soldier into its constituent matter, you would find traces of nearly every element known to the tech-priests. Fulgurite electro-priests' staves aren't electrically charged to shock people, they actually do the reverse. Getting hit by one sucks all of the bio-electricity out of your body because obviously the Motive Force is wasted in anything that does not venerate the Omnissiah. The beasts the Serberys Corps rides on aren't entirely mechanical, but built around a vat-grown oversized canid that's cybernetically enhanced until it's unrecognizable in true Mechanicus fashion. The riders then plug themselves into the cybercanids and train until their neural link is near flawless and they can function as basically a single entity.
The last space marines I ever painted were space wolves as a commission that a former friend whose career is in IT had hired me to do. Myth confirmed. IT guys do be the type to play geneva convention ignoring war criminals.
Eric the ork is great, easy improvement. Love this series, look forward to future installments. Ty Berillio as always. The bonus episode was a.. well bonus.
Dude love these model breakdowns💪🏼💪🏼always been interested in 40k but never really wanted to commit so seeing these model breakdowns scratch that 40k itch for me😂😂
Love the positivity for our tiny cyborg friends! I've had great fun this last year putting together a custom boarding patrol. There's a lot of painting in an Admech force, but I think their real identity is as a modeller's army. It's sooo kitbashable. They talk about the strong silouhettes but you can really mess around and still keep things legible on the table top. Despite a shaky start they've had a really incredible year with all the 30k releases and I think they're well positioned to explode in popularity with their next round of 40k releases.
Two thoughts re: the Dune Crawler. 1) Instead of walking in an arc to turn, maybe it just rotates the top and starts the legs going in that direction. 2) Maybe it squats down to make it easier to reach the ladder.
This year, I'm thankful for finding out about Poorhammer last year. I was fresh off of watching Emperor's TTS and was getting recommended battle report videos. I was considering getting some models or looking into game sessions at my LGS. Then, TH-cam recommended me the $500 army and the most expensive faction videos. Listening to Poorhammer cover how 10th edition has developed has thoroughly convinced me the tabletop portion of Warhammer isn't for me. Thank you for saving me hundreds of dollars. You guys are the best.
I appreciate the non price related Admech content lol.. I got into WH in the last few years because I loved their models and it's been a tough road to hoe between the price and crappy rules but I am really enjoying playing them!!
I started with ad mech and while they are a bit time consuming to paint they're actually fairly easy in a "paint by numbers" sense. Most of the details are small separate parts which are very easy to pick out with metallics and whatever color after you do your cloak. As long as you stay within the lines of each part it's fairly simple to get a good looking model. I'd take dabbing some copper here and there over following the lines/patterns of chaos trim any day
Jesus, finally thanks to the Poorhammer lads, I realized that Combines (from Half-Life) Human Troops are heavily inspired by Skitarii just swap the heavily augmented Joe-Schomoe from the streets with minimalistic utilitarian retro-sci-fi cyborg/robot parts with bio/synthetic modern slick sci-fi parts...
Only issue really is that Half-Life 2 predates Skitarii by more than a decade, so if anything it's probably the opposite (as is often the case with ol' GeeDubs).
Grey Knights: We are the hammer! GW: What hammer? Jokes aside, I legit hope y'all talk about the abysmal new Guard combat patrol. You know it's really bad when nobody in Auspex Tactic's comment section was even remotely defending it.
I love these episodes. Just a long episode I really enjoy listening to you guys so longer the better. Speaking of factions you’ve not put in the spotlight. With the new eldar models coming out it would be nice to see one of these with them. Not that I’m biased as an elf lover
They talked about the horror of the walkers, but missed the absolute worst part of it. Right behind the eyes and trex arms is a straight up guy integrated into the chassis. He’s the battery.
I really want a fabricator general model, a walking building with a half human face entombed into the front of it, some spider like little crawling legs underneath, its like a digital church but its just got every doohickey you could ever need. He could be like the wildcard character roll a dice and choose which weapon he activates from a weapon pool.
just happened to be considering admech when i found this video. after putting together what i would consider a decent list the total on amazon before tax is $1,641.13 so they look really cool and i can get a lot of variety, while also have more battle line than any other army i own, while also having more mounted than any army i own and more walkers than any army i own, in a single list. so yea they are cool and seem to be a decent all round army but its gunna be a hot while before i get this whole army.
39:48 its better than becomkng jist corpse starch to feed the Militarum. Also Kataphrons are not only humans but Astartes who failed their tests to get into a Legion.
one time my friend broke off one of my tech priests servo skulls and it fell onto my painting table and when i looked for it i found a different servo skull
14:52 it's almost as if it wasnt designed to be an AdMech model... it was designed to be an admech inquisitor/archeologist/explorator for the Warhammer quest: Blackstone fortress game in an expansion pack, so not full mechanicus, just kinda mechanicus
The Serberys are literally the reason I started collecting and playing 40k, so I feel compelled to share a few extra tidbits about them. While their horses are aesthetically more like dogs, and are referred to as such, they are in fact neither dogs nor horses, but ANOTHER skitarii. Using a fully mechanical steed with that degree of autonomy would be heresy, so naturally they turn their fellow man into cyborg dog monsters. See the little patch of white past the top edge of the face plate? That's his exposed (human) skull. The shoulders and upper arms are human, amputated and replaced above the elbow to form the front legs. A series of ringed braces elongate the spine and make space for a saddle. Like all skitarii, his legs are amputated below the knee and replaced with a specialized limb, in this case the hind legs of the mount. While they aren't as mentally stunted as servitors, they are more heavily controlled than most skitarii, and are given chips that allow the rider to directly command him through a neural link. The more you know!
Brad: "Most It employees play Space Wolves." As a person that works in IT, I can neither confirm nor deny this..*calmly resumes painting Angels of Death Kill Team as Deathwolves*
I have two "watch later" playlists. One for podcasts, stuff that I put on in the background, and one for regular videos which I sit down to watch. A Poorhammer episode is the only podcast content I put straight to the regular playlist without exception. This stupidly high production quality just gives me too much phomo!😭😂👌
The idea that the dedicated transport literally called a "Dunerider" can't actually ride up dunes because being a hover craft means it is bad with uneven terrain lmao. But also at the same time I can absolutely imagine the admech being so up their own asses that they engineered a vehicle with the expectation of only needing to drive around in city street and road environments.
Engineered? Heretek. We used what we found in the holy STC. You would dare to question the wisdom of golden age humanity? But yes if they were allowed to engineer stuff they would do something like that.
I don't know why, but TH-cam hasn't been showing me your videos in months, had to look you back up, on the brightside, I have hours of content to binge watch :)

I don't know if another non-space marine faction has ever had a better year than Admech just had, it was just split between a few game systems.
If you're talking about 30k and kill team, the former is an entirely separate faction. The latter is a good point on a rules front, but doesn't mean much on a models front, in which they got effectively nothing.
@@thomaskamkar5197 I definitely wouldn't consider Mechanicum to be a separate faction, but it isn't something I'd want to argue with someone. If you're a tournament player it 100% doesn't count but if your focus is modelling and lore it 100% does. I was thinking 30k and Imperialis, the latter of which has done the impossible feat of giving Admech an affordable, easily painted army that you can get to the tabletop quickly. Everything they did in the other systems this year was a perfect compliment to what Admech offers in 40k.
I’ve seen a lot of comments for Ork with looted grey knight armor, and I’m gonna absolutely agree to this sentiment!
As a beginner collector whose first army is AdMech, I am well aware of the pain and suffering that it entails and I wouldn't have it any other way. The first model I ever assembled was a serberys raider, and I am honored to be bestowed such a challenge from the Omnissiah himself. This faction is the entire reason I fell in love with 40k, and I love everything about them from the indescribably unique aesthetic to their nightmarish philosophy. Every single thing about them is a walking war crime. They're such a joy to put together too, especially thinking up new kitbashes. I'm currently working on a project where I'm adding my spare skitarii parts and mechanical bits to an Exaction Squad kill team to turn them from Arbites into Skitarii Proctors and it's so much fun to see it come together.
Some fun facts to finish this off:
Taser goads are more like cattle prods built for war than tasers as we think of. They discharge enough energy to fry the target's nervous system and melt organs, then direct it back in to recharge for the next blow.
If you were to grind down any Skitarii soldier into its constituent matter, you would find traces of nearly every element known to the tech-priests.
Fulgurite electro-priests' staves aren't electrically charged to shock people, they actually do the reverse. Getting hit by one sucks all of the bio-electricity out of your body because obviously the Motive Force is wasted in anything that does not venerate the Omnissiah.
The beasts the Serberys Corps rides on aren't entirely mechanical, but built around a vat-grown oversized canid that's cybernetically enhanced until it's unrecognizable in true Mechanicus fashion. The riders then plug themselves into the cybercanids and train until their neural link is near flawless and they can function as basically a single entity.
Surprised they didn’t talk about how the chicken walker has a literal guy wired into the sensor array
The last space marines I ever painted were space wolves as a commission that a former friend whose career is in IT had hired me to do.
Myth confirmed. IT guys do be the type to play geneva convention ignoring war criminals.
Sydonion Skatros is one of my favorites. I know he’s goofy, but the wacky weird tech and the gigantic sniper rifle sells me 100%
Eric the ork is great, easy improvement.
Love this series, look forward to future installments.
Ty Berillio as always. The bonus episode was a.. well bonus.
It’s funny because I remember the ad mech flyers, jump infantry, sulferhounds, were controversial design wise when they came out which is wild to me
Some people like the feel of horus heresy mechanicum a bit more. A bit less Da vinci and a bit more body horror.
Dude love these model breakdowns💪🏼💪🏼always been interested in 40k but never really wanted to commit so seeing these model breakdowns scratch that 40k itch for me😂😂
Never ever I was so fast to click on a new video
Glory to Omnissiah!
I'm so glad I started AdMech back when they first released the line. I couldn't imagine starting an army today
Love your content and love your energy. Keep up the great work and cheers from the Czech Republic.
I like Eric being an Ork as opposed to both of you being different flavours of space marines
Love the positivity for our tiny cyborg friends!
I've had great fun this last year putting together a custom boarding patrol. There's a lot of painting in an Admech force, but I think their real identity is as a modeller's army. It's sooo kitbashable. They talk about the strong silouhettes but you can really mess around and still keep things legible on the table top.
Despite a shaky start they've had a really incredible year with all the 30k releases and I think they're well positioned to explode in popularity with their next round of 40k releases.
Two thoughts re: the Dune Crawler.
1) Instead of walking in an arc to turn, maybe it just rotates the top and starts the legs going in that direction.
2) Maybe it squats down to make it easier to reach the ladder.
"The sterilizers have flame throwers and we think that's excessive!"
>Glances at my Dark Heresy character's Rad-Cleanser
I actually prefer the grey knight. The paradox of a K sons sorcerer and a grey knight just chilling out together is humorous to me.
Just in time! I started my first army this month and I chose admech. Glory to the Omnissiah!
As an Admech enjoyer. I never play without bringing superglue with me. But it is worth it
I like Eric as an ork! Especially the specific one chosen, omg Kommandos are so cool.
Eric should be a tech priest to celebrate the fact you managed to almost get a full hour talking about Admech models
And he's a physicist not big mek!
I never expected Ad mech to get his kind of spotlight wow
I like Grey Knight Eric. It makes more sense that both of you are in power armor. It just looks more cohesive.
31:15 I think you're thinking of the Pit Droids, or maybe the Naboo Royal Guard helmets?
10:54 "He's just distillin'" Eric, we said to get out of the Zoomer chat!
If Erics an Ork Brad should be a Drukhari, considering that apparently both their favorite armies
The sydonian tall boy is honestly one of my favorites. The rifle is so cool
Yay, AdmMech models! I sure hope they also add in a little dollars/point note for every model.
Will an Ork or Gretchen fit in a Grey knight baby carrier?
This year, I'm thankful for finding out about Poorhammer last year. I was fresh off of watching Emperor's TTS and was getting recommended battle report videos. I was considering getting some models or looking into game sessions at my LGS. Then, TH-cam recommended me the $500 army and the most expensive faction videos. Listening to Poorhammer cover how 10th edition has developed has thoroughly convinced me the tabletop portion of Warhammer isn't for me. Thank you for saving me hundreds of dollars. You guys are the best.
Thanks for talking about my favourite cog boys.
I appreciate the non price related Admech content lol.. I got into WH in the last few years because I loved their models and it's been a tough road to hoe between the price and crappy rules but I am really enjoying playing them!!
This is my favorite new series!! I FINK DA ORK BOYZ SHULD BE NEX!!!!!!
I started with ad mech and while they are a bit time consuming to paint they're actually fairly easy in a "paint by numbers" sense. Most of the details are small separate parts which are very easy to pick out with metallics and whatever color after you do your cloak. As long as you stay within the lines of each part it's fairly simple to get a good looking model.
I'd take dabbing some copper here and there over following the lines/patterns of chaos trim any day
I hope y'all do these segments for every faction, they're both informative amd hilarious.
Jesus, finally thanks to the Poorhammer lads, I realized that Combines (from Half-Life) Human Troops are heavily inspired by Skitarii just swap the heavily augmented Joe-Schomoe from the streets with minimalistic utilitarian retro-sci-fi cyborg/robot parts with bio/synthetic modern slick sci-fi parts...
Only issue really is that Half-Life 2 predates Skitarii by more than a decade, so if anything it's probably the opposite (as is often the case with ol' GeeDubs).
@@raphsere Well, we will never know for sure, sadly, so we can only guess and theorize...
Grey Knights: We are the hammer!
GW: What hammer?
Jokes aside, I legit hope y'all talk about the abysmal new Guard combat patrol. You know it's really bad when nobody in Auspex Tactic's comment section was even remotely defending it.
I love these episodes. Just a long episode I really enjoy listening to you guys so longer the better. Speaking of factions you’ve not put in the spotlight. With the new eldar models coming out it would be nice to see one of these with them. Not that I’m biased as an elf lover
They talked about the horror of the walkers, but missed the absolute worst part of it. Right behind the eyes and trex arms is a straight up guy integrated into the chassis. He’s the battery.
I really want a fabricator general model, a walking building with a half human face entombed into the front of it, some spider like little crawling legs underneath, its like a digital church but its just got every doohickey you could ever need. He could be like the wildcard character roll a dice and choose which weapon he activates from a weapon pool.
i see and appreciate berÍlio's joke with the kastelan robots' statline
just happened to be considering admech when i found this video. after putting together what i would consider a decent list the total on amazon before tax is $1,641.13 so they look really cool and i can get a lot of variety, while also have more battle line than any other army i own, while also having more mounted than any army i own and more walkers than any army i own, in a single list. so yea they are cool and seem to be a decent all round army but its gunna be a hot while before i get this whole army.
39:48 its better than becomkng jist corpse starch to feed the Militarum. Also Kataphrons are not only humans but Astartes who failed their tests to get into a Legion.
I'm learning how to paint models right now, and just imagining painting admech is making me break out into a cold sweat.
I am really loving this series. Looking forward to seeing the videos on the other factions!
Keep up the good work all :)
Might finally be the video that gets me into ad mech, and by that I mean pillaging them for conversions
I bought Cawl a few days ago, can’t wait to put him together!
You guys talked about how creepy the chicken walkers are and didn't mention the extremely visible servitor that is it's brain
Eric, the Ork plays!
one time my friend broke off one of my tech priests servo skulls and it fell onto my painting table and when i looked for it i found a different servo skull
Sydonian Skatros is such a lovable model. How can you not smile at his silly stilt legs and big goofy eye lenses?
I really like the ork in grey knight armor eric idea
I love Admech by their appearance, but their points-per-dollar is horrifying.
14:52 it's almost as if it wasnt designed to be an AdMech model... it was designed to be an admech inquisitor/archeologist/explorator for the Warhammer quest: Blackstone fortress game in an expansion pack, so not full mechanicus, just kinda mechanicus
Just started my admech army a few weeks ago this is perfect to watch while painting
The Serberys are literally the reason I started collecting and playing 40k, so I feel compelled to share a few extra tidbits about them. While their horses are aesthetically more like dogs, and are referred to as such, they are in fact neither dogs nor horses, but ANOTHER skitarii. Using a fully mechanical steed with that degree of autonomy would be heresy, so naturally they turn their fellow man into cyborg dog monsters. See the little patch of white past the top edge of the face plate? That's his exposed (human) skull. The shoulders and upper arms are human, amputated and replaced above the elbow to form the front legs. A series of ringed braces elongate the spine and make space for a saddle. Like all skitarii, his legs are amputated below the knee and replaced with a specialized limb, in this case the hind legs of the mount. While they aren't as mentally stunted as servitors, they are more heavily controlled than most skitarii, and are given chips that allow the rider to directly command him through a neural link.
The more you know!
Brad: "Most It employees play Space Wolves."
As a person that works in IT, I can neither confirm nor deny this..*calmly resumes painting Angels of Death Kill Team as Deathwolves*
I have two "watch later" playlists. One for podcasts, stuff that I put on in the background, and one for regular videos which I sit down to watch. A Poorhammer episode is the only podcast content I put straight to the regular playlist without exception. This stupidly high production quality just gives me too much phomo!😭😂👌
The idea that the dedicated transport literally called a "Dunerider" can't actually ride up dunes because being a hover craft means it is bad with uneven terrain lmao. But also at the same time I can absolutely imagine the admech being so up their own asses that they engineered a vehicle with the expectation of only needing to drive around in city street and road environments.
Engineered? Heretek. We used what we found in the holy STC. You would dare to question the wisdom of golden age humanity? But yes if they were allowed to engineer stuff they would do something like that.
For the walker, they missed the little guy inside the chicken walker
I don't know why, but TH-cam hasn't been showing me your videos in months, had to look you back up, on the brightside, I have hours of content to binge watch :)
Thank you for doing this and the space marine guides. So helpful.
