Cool short story you found online at 20:27. Looks familiar but I can't remember where I've seen it before.
Well if you need help finding it, its now linked in the description.
Sarcasm as its finest
An old Guardsman?
That's a man to be feared and respected!
He's actually just 30 years old
@@khoaho7270he is still to be feared and respected
Not only is he an old guardsman, he's also an old Cadian, which is doubly scary 🥶
Be afraid of an old man in a job where men die young
...Or admired for finding GREAT hiding spots....
DONT YOU DARE SIT DOWN TO WATCH THIS! Why you ask? BECAUSE CADIA STANDS!
Hydra dom- I mean CADIA STANDS!!
CADIA STANDS!
Cadia imperial guard"but sir my legs have been blow off" Imperial commander"oh that is your excuse for everything"!!!!
Best comment...I mean...CADIA STANDS
CADIA STANDS
Honestly at first I was thinking “a possessed would easily catch that grenade, those guys are fast”, but now I’m thinking the Daemon let that happen.
Probably why the demon was laughing at that time.
Yeah, there's no way that the daemon wouldn't have noticed him coming out of the ship to lay that trap. We know how sensitive a space marine's senses are, let alone their power armor's warning systems. The daemon definitely distracted him to allow him to walk straight into that trap. There's a reason it suddenly told him to feel free to leave. The bastards have always thought many steps ahead and taking any deal with them will eventually end in your ruin.
I respect the fact that despite the reskin for the astartes 2 clip in the intro you still use og lamenter lol
I wish they kept the lamenters for astartes 2. Lamentors getting beat down by orks is on point lol .
Those were not lamenters... And it was confirmes multiple times. Sayama did not/couldnt use any official chapters..
@@ShArp_MKdefinitely Lamenters
The demon speaks of weakness and choice while the marine is willfully ignorant of his. "What choice was there?" Die and remain whole, instead of giving into the fear of dying and being abandoned. "Your legion is done with you" is the chain that binds, tightening around the senses like a leash of the marine's own making. It's poetically tragic how blinding emotions can be against rational thought
My thoughts as well
“There is always a choice."
"You mean I could choose certain death?"
"A choice nevertheless, or perhaps an alternative. You see I believe in freedom. Not many people do, although they will of course protest otherwise. And no practical definition of freedom would be complete without the freedom to take the consequences. Indeed, it is the freedom upon which all the others are based.”
Lord Vetinari, "Going Postal", Discworld series
Another fantastic breakdown! Love all the attention to detail on not only the Cadian lore, but military tactics, weaponry and the dynamics of choice between chaos and non-chaos entities.
I always feel like I've learned more, after watching one of your videos. Keep em' coming, until the end!
WHO'Z THIS GIT "CADIA" AND HOW COME HE'ZE ALWAYS ZOGGIN STANDIN ABOUT
I like how you put it at the end, good and evil, chaos and order then death and nothingness.
My favorite part of this episode is the contrast between the chaos Astartes and the old guardsman in the end.
How the old guardsman is willing to spend his life to take out the chaos Astartes and does so in silence with utter determination 18:19
While the astartes is trying to live and when he dies he’s wailing in both pain, agony and fear as chaos takes him 18:21
I like how daemon's behavior during the whole episode basically proves Abaddon's philosophy about siding with them.
Word Bearer-half of Possessed was actually reasonable and just wanted to get out with no show, but Daemon inside really wanted that "Playing with your victims" which led to downfall of both
Probably prevent from sleeping also
The fact it wasnt a Night Lord but a Word Bearer was disappointing
The fact that they sent in just ONE SQUAD of normal guardsmen, and not even elite operators like Kasrkins who could be expected to do that kind of mission with such few numbers, speaks to both the sheer bravery of the Cadians, and also to the fact that Imperial resources in that region are likely spread so thin that they couldn't spare any more.
At the start of the episode, one guardswoman mentions that there's nobody in the area, despite it being a decently-sized chunk of manufactorum or Hive sprawl on the asteroid. Did they not think to hail the installation through Vox? Was there too much interference when they tried? What about running preliminary auspex scans of the place?
It was a religious ceremony. They expected to encounter dozens or hundreds of allies with supplies.
Beware the Old man in professions where men die young
Dude, your insight to the Warhammer universe is above and beyond. Always really enjoy your channel and hope this year brings you holy blessings from the emperor.
Thank you king
A graybeard guardsman? Emperor be praised. His service is too necessary to the war to promote him from service.
Emperor be praised
brilliant break down. may the dark gods spare you from further mutation.
That old man got ball of steels
I still can't believe Russell Crowe is a fan of WH40K
Make movies,makeing songs and fighting round the grim dark universe!!!!!!!
Wait, fr?
He's a World Eater, I think he displayed that pretty clearly in Gladiator.
CADIA STANDS!
In the aftermath of the drop site massacre the gal vorbak were seen as abomination by some of the traitor legion especially by the first captain of the night lords Jago sevatarion and maybe the Iron warrior
Many traitor legions and especially the Iron Warriors have always tried to avoid corruption, they use and manipulate the warp when they can- but they never make full on pacts with deamons because all that awaits is a potential ETERNITY of suffering. Like there is absolutely nothing that would make me risk my soul being tortured FOREVER-even the concept gives me nightmares.
The commentary was better than the actual short.
Its actually remarkably easy to do a shoulder throw of a larger opponent.
Im 300lbs. I used to train with a 5’1” tall gall that was maybe 110lbs sopping wet. She could throw me like that. Its all technique.
Grove street...home....at least it was before.....wait a second
Woah I’m right outside Huntsville Alabama ahah wasn’t expecting to see this promo on someone so close to home how cool
@@creolekolbytv they’re great
21:06 you do a damn good job of explaining things to someone who is new to this thank you
What a great episode! I think you’re getting better and better in your lower videos and explaining each one! Continue your awesome work, brother👍
I love how they show men and woman being of equal strength. As an 0311 I can assure you that this is more than likely not a realistic fight.
Agreed
Incorrect, when I did MMA I threw em around like rag dolls.
I feel like it has more to do with being under a demons influence as well as a fuck ton of adrenaline giving them crackhead strength. I could be wrong though.
@@chuck5667honestly, the first guy I think they had to both gang up on, and the second guy was just panicked. I feel like once they get possessed they become stronger but more sluggish, which is why the guardsmen get taken out in melee so easily.
Praise the dark gods, patrons of feminism! Well 3 patrons and 1 maaaybe matron. Kinda. Sorta.
Anything Cadian,
Everything Cadian,
Cadia Stand! Many thanx Conner. 👍👍
May U remain in the Emperor's light! ⚔️
Your videos have always done an amazing job at explaining the lore especially since you have direct military experience too. Have a great weekend, Connor!
LOVE< PEACE
This makes me appreciate argel tal much more
P.s trying to spell warhammer name sends my auto correct into a frenzy
Love the skull-and-arch tattoo on the sergeant's chin, goatee style
Thank you for the video!
Lol, Abaddon, "I will never let myself be controlled by chaos!" Also Abaddon, "You can't kill me I'm powered by chaos!"
Whoever sent the guardsmen thought must thought they’d be like the darktide veterans
Oof. I felt sorry for Grela
Yea, las weapons have been plenty shown to not just be laser guns. Gotta be some sort of particle weapon. My bet is it's some tech that takes a very slight inkling from Necron Gauss Flayers. Machine God moment =]]]]
Tech priest won't tell me what's up
My headcanon is that the energy bolt type of lasguns are in fact photon guns, not laser ones. It's just due to the state of relative ignorance of the Imperium that they don't actually know the difference, compounded with the fact that some stories and media actually depict lasguns as firing what look to be actual laser beams, though oftentimes with visible recoil, so likely they're just a different kind of photon rifle. Maybe in the original STCs they were variants of the same weapon meant to be used on different specific missions and targets, or maybe originally they were just a single weapon that could fire in both ways as different fire modes, but the STC was too corrupted or fragmented by the time that the Imperium found it.
Or maybe the lasgun does actually have a laser component, at least the beam-type variety. Maybe the weapon fires packets of photons for kinetic damage that are accelerated by lasers to make them faster and more accurate.
Props for keeping the lamenters clip
Just got into Warhammer, blown away by the universe. I'm still in the middle of The fall of Cadia. Loving it, it's all still new stories for me !!!!
22:56 THANK YOU i have seen too many people call it a gal vorbak
The choice is clear. You can either die a meaningless death or you can choose to live long enough to take a traitor with you. The old head made the right choice, though having the balls to go at a possessed as a baseline human with a knife is hard as fuck.
About the lasguns being depicted as firing bolts of energy with tangible kinetic force behind them, would it be reasonable to assume that what we are looking at is not a laser weapon pr say, but more likely a photon-based weapon?
@@fadelsukoco3092 photons have limited mass as well
Counterpoints I just found your Chanel last week…. This is awesome. Thanks for what you do!
Hammer and bolter is back baby!
"planet broke before the guard" goes hard
Glad to see that Dr. Claw is still getting work.
Honestly this episode was a huge letdown for me. With all the hype and having just seen all the other warhammer tv stuff this was sooo lame it was just guardsmen running around tweaking for 20 mins pretty much. Coulda been sooo much better tbh
Bro when did hammer and bolter get an upgrade in animation!? Was it cuz of the success space marine 2 and that one episode of secret levels? What ever it is im glad warhammer is getting a lot more popularity
All the budget went to Trazyn's voice actor and this one episode
I didn't realize they had switched from 2D to 3D animation...COOL!!!
This is a great video. And what said at the end got me thinking.
Why did they have flashlights mounted on their flashlights??
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO FOR DAYS
Another great video Connor. I really enjoy your content.
Thank you sir
@@LilGinjaMassive 07 I live to serve
Somehow Cadia return
-
It’s a older code sir but it checks out
No one gonna talk about how the word bearer is basically a primaris marine
@@yeetosyeeterofyeet1825 no. Because he’s not. His armor is Mark 4 legionnaire and his size is infused with chaos
@ the face plate and the neck guard look too primaris, but i guess the absence of the leg guards and such makes it so
@ google “chaos legionnaire” it’s identical to one of the armor sets that been out for years.
@@yeetosyeeterofyeet1825 Probably a heresy era marine that has changed his armor over time to a degree. Other WB marines have done this. I agree that the neckguard resembles primaris aloof. The slats on the faceplate are too slanted to be Mk. 4 too, imo
i dont think i can ever awnser that question "what will you choose when your surrounded by fire and darkness" i think the joker from the dark knight said it best
"you see in theyre last moments poeple show you who they really are"
like i can say now i would be fearless and accept death as a friend but the true awnser only reveals itself when the moment comes. so for now i wont say and safe the awnser for when the time comes
Just one thing I’m unclear about, the chaos marine who pledged his body & life to the dark gods in order to save him (presumably at the point when Cadia was exploding/cracking up) was he at that moment a loyalist space marine who wasn’t ready to die or was he a chaos marine who didn’t want to be a sacrificial lamb so to speak
He has a Word Bearer Pauldron. 99.99999% this dudes a traitor unless someone can see it better
I'm surprised you didn't mention anything about the old cadian surviving long enough to see cadia and was a true cadian
During the siege of terra there was a night lord who was bound with a daemon and in his arrogance tried to duel Raldoron. The later wiped the floor with him becouse the daemon withdrew his power in a crucial moment of the fight. Raldoron made him jump of the wall and the NL chose to give his soul to the daemon to live eternally... the daemon chastised him and tortured him for 666 years for mistaking his own strenght with his.
And of course its 666 years😂
I choose to hopefully embrace my end with some content and understanding knowing we were born from sleep and we die going back to sleep.
Cadia stands! In a million pieces and places but it stands!
I thrive in chaos but chilling has its benefits too.
WOW an old Guardsman, now that is something you don't see often.
Imperial guard stories are great
The squad leader looks like Arthur Shelby.
In the far future we still only have narrow weak torches to light our way. I mean, it is the Grim Dark Future right? LOL
Better to die quick
Fighting on your feet
Than to live forever

15:00 the imperial guard girl is like a blood bowl fighter 😅
"only in death...does duty ends"
In the darkest hour embrace the truth, no matter how scary. Fight the lies of a rotting corpse.
I did jiu jutsu amd honestly, depending on the technique you're trained in, it can be fairly easy to shoulder throw someone bigger than you.
At least i find it easier to throw the bigger sparring partners.
Just my 2 cents there.
this is not that easy in real life scenario
Fear not guardsmen for the Emperor protects… if he grants it 😂
HE ANSWERED MY PRAYERS!
Ooh... another one I haven't seen...right on
I am obsessed with 40K lore !
FOR THE EMPEROR!!
FOR CADIA!!
I enjoyed your review like always!
Embrace the power of Chaos
I was waiting for this video!!!
I mean insanity and death or just death seem far kinder than Zariel's fate. Even if he will likely be able to cause far more impact (I mean I would be surprised if he pops up more than a hand full of times in general, but stil). And given the nature of the warp for regular humans, most if not all of the Cadians in the video (save maybe the corrupted one(s)) will likely just disappear into the warp on death.
It seems Sariel's fear of death and the unknown caused him to choose an eternity of being a slave.. if he had chosen to die, he would have been free from torture and his endless suffering.
Released 7 minutes ago and we already have unfunny jokes about Cadia, superb.
At least they are having fun.
I always think there is something important I’m not seeing when the camera is in the corner 😂
Go watch original brother
Great episode 👍🏻
It’s criminal you don’t have more subscribers
I’m surprised Connor didn’t say anything about the true Cadian with purple eyes and how much stronger she was.
20:30 Warrior Tier Joining the traitor Legion chaos
Counterpoints hit the nail on the head when it comes to the imperium being its own enemy. Who would of though that treating people lives as the cheapest form of currency would cause a influx of chaos cultists.
CADIA STANDS FOR WE ARE THE SPIRIT OF CADIA AND WE BRING THE WRATH OF CADIA AGAINST THE ENEMYS OF THE IMPERIUM
There's a wild Gorilla on the loose!?13:43
*clap* *clap* Its not a gorilla! *clap*
Considering what they were up against these guardsmen did good...
I'm more confused how pieces of Cadia have enough gravity to hold an atmosphere.
Was the old veteran born on cadia, couldn't see his eyes?
I always wonder how secured of a communication line was VOX.
Front cam ring light needed!
❤ thanks
I AM ... roboute guilliman..
From dark Angels to salamanders....NOW I FINALLY SEE SOME hope..
I would like to think that I would pull the pin in the dropshio.
Hello, I’m relatively new to Warhammer 40k but after watching some Luetin videos on space marines I was curious as to how a primaries space marine was somehow on cadia.
Lore from my scant research shows that the primaris are new to the imperium and were introduced afterwards - can anyone explain the lore of this particular space marine ? Like how he got there?
Or am I too lost in the warhammer sauce?
This is a chaos legionnaire with a Mark IV helmet. He is technically first born with chaos juice
@ Thank you for that info ! I got confused on the armor / marks.
