I would've loved to see the gradual corruption of the Chapter Master from it's closest men perspective, during his time serving the imperium. Like a casual discussion between two marines in the mess : "So, what do you think of the CM ? As in what ? As in, you know, his mental state after the whole Space hulk thing ? *Turn heads in direction of the canteen counter* BREAD FOR THE BREAKFAST ! MILK FOR THE KHORNEFLAKES ! LET THE TOASTER BUUUUUUUUUURN ! *return heads* Seems pretty normal to me."
I feel the need to explain a bit. Some say, " Why a psyker!? Khorne hates psykers!" True but it doesn't mean his demons wouldn't use one. Apparently there is a demon possessing Kyras as when you play IG Adrastia comments that Kyras is not alone in his mind. This could mean the same demon that Gabriel Angelos unleashed from the Maledictum possessed Kyras at some point since he was in Chaos' pocket. All that has happened here was to fulfill what the demon promised Gabriel in DoW1.
There have been many good and great speeches in this series. Both by good and evil, And by every faction. And only once can I think of any speech other then this that truly set the mood for what you were going up against. Syndri's final words. "Bear witness to my Ascension!" Simple but very effective. But this. This is simply. Glorious. The way he screams "Let the galaxy BURN!!!" and then everything goes silent. THAT, is how you set the mood for a final boss.
Kyras here exemplifies a self-awareness of chaos, it destroys all it touches, and it has no purpose in its actions. That is part of why chaos is stuck in the status quo, it is fickle, disorganized, by its own nature it is a task for it accomplish a purpose.
Should of been Tzeentch this guy is textbook Tzeentch. Manipulative, check, master psycher, check. Why does the developers have such a hard on for Khorne even when it would make sense for a would be sorcerer to follow the god of sorcery.
Tzeentch's temptations are all about purpose and planning. It seems like Kyras was completely tired of the endless duty and obligation that he had while he was a chapter master. What he wanted, Khorne offered: no plans, no duties, no crushing and endless responsibility: just a singular, simple urge and a mind filled with nothing but the rush of fulfilling it again and again and again.
@BouncyTEM Kyras of course cooperates with one or more demons but they do not control him, the messenger of Khorne is different like Kyras says he showed him the way, did not lead him. And that was after he left the j. of carrion. Of course you can see it differently. Blood for the Blood Good!
@thestupidarsebeagle Tarkus reveals himself to be the Ancient after Diomedes practically gives up all hope and orders his squad to hold position in the Judgement of Carrion. Thaddius is in the game as one of the squads sergeants.. The force commander is probably doing something similiar to what Tarkus was trying to do with his vow of silence. He is probably good still because there is a hammer you can get that refers to him. And Avitus is the one who betrays you in Chaos Rising.
I wish the Ultramarines made another appearance. I would even appreciate if they showed up like they did in DoW1. Ultramarines being my favorite chapter ;p
I am ILLUMINATED. But my girlfriend just got her monthly - And when I scream Blood for the Blood God for her appraisingly- she looks strange. I think she is not with Us. But she got a nice skull. )
@urgardista Sorry, but the IG campaign counters that. There's a point where Adrastia blatantly says "I felt Kyras. He...is NOT alone." Which, considering they keep mentioning the daemon from DoW1, it's not hard to put two and two together.
Mocking the Imperium still means mocking Chaos even if its inadvertent since pointing the Imperium's flaws simply make Chaos followers look worse for not being able to beat it.
@HellFox83 Also, the thing Khorne hates about psykers and sorcerors is the fact that they prefer not to fight in direct combat. He sees them as cowards for their use of special powers rather than wanton bloodshed. If a psyker like Kyras forgoes the use of these powers in favour of the aforementioned bloodshed then Khorne has no problem with that.
As hellfox stated, Kyras was chosen because that daemon Gabriel released from the maledictum had a bone to pick with him. What better way to do it than make their chief librarian and newly promoted chapter master turn on them. Its a serious blow to morale. Besides, he just offered Khorne a planet full of skulls. And he made the Inquisition do it. So yeah he more than deserves it.
wow i wanna be overcorrupted too! if I will receive a cool voice! "Blood for the Blood God, Skulls for the Skull Throne... Let the Galaxy BURN!!!!!!!!! Wooohooo!"
@HellFox83 Sorry brother, but i think this demon did not possesed Kyras, It persuaded him. Probably Ulkair made him not a little bit insane but he remained Himself this is why he could choose an another path-Khorne- to follow just like Horus he is not misguided, he made a choice. For Freedom. Blood for the Blood God!
Okay. Now I've heard an awesome "Blood for the Blood God!" warcry. Now we just need Kharn to make his long overdue appearance in the next one and top THAT.
Yes, kyras may be a khorne follower and a Psyker, but khorne hates all PRACTIONERS of sorcery. it be that kyras keeps his pysker powers in check, not using them outwardly but using them inwardlly, to make himself stronger or maybe not using them at all, so Khorne doesnt care about it and favours him anyway (which kyras would need khorne to do, as to become a daemon prince you need the favour of the god you serve.)

I fucking died
1:43 - 1:54, Love how the voice actor really got into the last bit. Spoken like a true follower of Khorne.
Best. Speech. EVER. BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE! LET THE GALAXY BUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Furious Sherman Blood for the blood god! Blood for the blood god!!!! BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD BRBRBBBBRBRRRRBRBRBRBBRB!!!!!
Yoooo I feel like I've seen you comment in quite a few videos I watch...

To quote the Demon from DoW1, " Yes, flee and know that I will soon come to claim you all!"
Winter Assault - Khorne, Kronus - Khorne (annoying infantrykill shrines) Kaurava - Khorne, Retribution - Nurg... no, wait. Khorne... The other gods are feeling so overshadowed.
Just as Planned...

THAT, is how you set the mood for a final boss.
I love it when he walks into the hot juice!
Kyras here exemplifies a self-awareness of chaos, it destroys all it touches, and it has no purpose in its actions. That is part of why chaos is stuck in the status quo, it is fickle, disorganized, by its own nature it is a task for it accomplish a purpose.
I haven't heard that line since... DOW 1. Those Khorne Berzerkers I love em'
"I AM NOT YOUR BOOT LICK!"
"FASTER IF YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU!"
Kyras is right in a way. Chaos is all about freedom; freedom taken beyond the point of sanity.
For those that think Avitus didn't turn the same way others did just listen to this message. He fell just the same...
Kyras did that speech very well. The last part was especially well done and unnerving.
Well, actually the horror squad was his. If you point the mouse on them in dow 1 they has a name like Horrors of Tzeentch or something like that.
This speech alone was worth the price for DoW2 Retribution.

What makes you think Kyras turning to Khorne wasn't *exactly* as Tzeentch planned?
@BouncyTEM Kyras of course cooperates with one or more demons but they do not control him, the messenger of Khorne is different like Kyras says he showed him the way, did not lead him. And that was after he left the j. of carrion. Of course you can see it differently.
Blood for the Blood Good!
When I first heard this, my first thought was: "I have to fight this guy? Well fuck."
o lol sry i barly realized it came out all ready lol but you alredy beaat it nice are you going to post the other races up too?
@pinkysuspegasus it is actually the daemon left behind from one of the early dawn of war series
@thestupidarsebeagle Tarkus reveals himself to be the Ancient after Diomedes practically gives up all hope and orders his squad to hold position in the Judgement of Carrion. Thaddius is in the game as one of the squads sergeants.. The force commander is probably doing something similiar to what Tarkus was trying to do with his vow of silence. He is probably good still because there is a hammer you can get that refers to him. And Avitus is the one who betrays you in Chaos Rising.
2:24 by the Emperor what has he become?
"Chaos is a wonderful, WONDERFUL thing..."
I wish the Ultramarines made another appearance. I would even appreciate if they showed up like they did in DoW1. Ultramarines being my favorite chapter ;p
@pinkysuspegasus maybe the Daemon of tartarus just warped to the Cyrene via Kyras' ascendance(entering the lava pool).
I am ILLUMINATED.
But my girlfriend just got her monthly - And when I scream Blood for the Blood God for her appraisingly- she looks strange.
I think she is not with Us.
But she got a nice skull. )
@urgardista Sorry, but the IG campaign counters that. There's a point where Adrastia blatantly says
"I felt Kyras. He...is NOT alone."
Which, considering they keep mentioning the daemon from DoW1, it's not hard to put two and two together.
wow how did you get these? very nice thank you
@Kizerlk07 yes i know but why daemon was on cyrene but not on tartarus ( planet where dawn of war 1 takes place)
@Gigantron6 i think he may be The Ancient.
@Tarik360 It looked like Terminator armor too! Emperor damn it! How long do you think it's going to take to replace that thing!?
Mocking the Imperium still means mocking Chaos even if its inadvertent since pointing the Imperium's flaws simply make Chaos followers look worse for not being able to beat it.
@Crealtos To quote a common chaos saying, "Sanity is for the weak!"
This motivates me in a weird way
@HellFox83 Also, the thing Khorne hates about psykers and sorcerors is the fact that they prefer not to fight in direct combat. He sees them as cowards for their use of special powers rather than wanton bloodshed.

Besides, he just offered Khorne a planet full of skulls. And he made the Inquisition do it. So yeah he more than deserves it.
what happened to the old chracaters like the player, avitus and thad
Great voice acting. A finer villain by that pedigree than any I can remember.
@Tarik360 im sure the blood ravens will be able to recover that armor.
wow i wanna be overcorrupted too! if I will receive a cool voice!
"Blood for the Blood God, Skulls for the Skull Throne... Let the Galaxy BURN!!!!!!!!!
Wooohooo!"
@Gigantron6 Because he is The Ancient
Madness. Such is the way of Chaos.
why the daemon was on cyrene?
@RUSRhythmic writing can be a bit meh at times, but I was constantly surprised by how well the actors performed.
@TheUnholyEmperor a bloodthister i think
@HellFox83 Sorry brother, but i think this demon did not possesed Kyras, It persuaded him. Probably Ulkair made him not a little bit insane but he remained Himself this is why he could choose an another path-Khorne- to follow just like Horus he is not misguided, he made a choice. For Freedom.
Blood for the Blood God!
he briefly "advanced" to demon hood wich is one of goals for chaos folowers look at eliphas
@purgethewaek501 working on it
Okay. Now I've heard an awesome "Blood for the Blood God!" warcry. Now we just need Kharn to make his long overdue appearance in the next one and top THAT.
Finally we get to be on cyrene
ancient is tarkus?
Good thing you have Captain Diomedes. :D
Blood for the blood god! Skulls for the skull throne! Milk for the Khorne Flakes!
if anyone is overshadowed thant is Tzeentch ther hasnt been any official dow unit for him only boosts
Blood For the Blood God!!!!!!! I would love to do this fight, unfortunately my computer can't run the game anymore:(.
Yes, kyras may be a khorne follower and a Psyker, but khorne hates all PRACTIONERS of sorcery. it be that kyras keeps his pysker powers in check, not using them outwardly but using them inwardlly, to make himself stronger or maybe not using them at all, so Khorne doesnt care about it and favours him anyway (which kyras would need khorne to do, as to become a daemon prince you need the favour of the god you serve.)
Some men just want to watch the galaxy burn.
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE! MILK FOR THE KHORNEFLAKES!
I have a feeling that Adrastia just means he's insane. I don't think a demon can be a demon price at the same time.
Really, do tell how the Imperium is 'advancing'.
He sure is mad.
The speech reminds me Giygas.
@BackstabMurphy Aw dammit, ninjaed =(
oh didnt notice it tnx
lol it took 6 games but DOW1 finally had it's sequel cover the cliffhanger ending
He sounds like Horus to me.
NOOOO, he wasted a perfectly good working power armour!
Well, it sounds better than SSSSSSSIIINDRIIIIIIIII
Purge the unclean.
Lol By the Imperium i shall slay this unholy deamon in the name of the Imperial Gaurd
Okay, I have to admit, that was fucking hilarious.
@The0indestructible0D :DDDD
Abaddon dislike this video
