If something survives this
you know you're screwed
necron?
@@gameid4646 Maybe, but definitely daemons.
@@gameid4646 Actually, I just remembered that The Lion made a suit of armor called The Dreadbringer's Plate for the commander of the Dreadwing, which apparently allows the wearers to walk through a cloud of phosphex untouched.
Glass is one of the hardest substances on the planet, nearly impossible to cut or slice but you take a hammer to it and it shatters (basic glass not the special stuff thats mixed with other stuff) Just because you can't burn it doesn't mean you can't shoot it.
@@Koppu1doragonyes but on the battlefield it brings death and terror before being shoot
Rumours say that you can still hear that adept yelling “fuck” even at the edge of the galaxy if it’s quiet enough
He was actually killed with a Phosphex pistol.
@@robertnelson9599Yep, that’s what happened In the lore, being killed by the very thing he sought to destroy, the irony is almost laughable.
But then again, you have to consider the possibility of the Tyranids adapting to be immune to it as well as becoming able to materialize Phosphex weapons. I think the Adept did the right thing.
@@GoatyBoatyBH414 If its even possible to adapt to Phosphex tyranids would just straight up become invincible already
He did the right thing, imagine the Tyranids evolved from THAT
Nobly destroys warcrime jelly that makes super napalm-dooms entire galaxy to fighting bugs with less useful weapons.
Yea, yea that sounds like 40k
Well, I mean it still destroys the planet, so why not just cyclone torpedo the planet anyway? If anything that super napalm stuff takes more time to spread I think so the hive mind be like "fuck that" and got time to dip out from the planet
@@user-pm3wk6lw6mphosphex doesnt need O2 to burn, that's what really sets it apart. Theoretically it could be deployed in space combat and not even allow the Tyranids to make planet, so th cyclinic torpedoes wouldn't even need to be deployed
@@MrPlainsflyer I thought of the virus Farsight's friend made. I think that's a good way to compare it, except well... it's fire and the hive mind can't really do anything about it.
@@MrPlainsflyerwonderful solution suggestion, here me out - interplanetary Hyperspeed Phosphex warships that deploy phosphex in space battles only atleast thats the intention? Overall tho all it takes is one particularly cruel insurrectionist or inquistor for it to be deployed spiteful on planes or sold en masses in the black market for it to be missed again, sadly destroying it was likely best.
@@thebossbrothers123 I refuse to believe that there isn't at least one copy of the Phosphex STC around somewhere, be it on a forge world or withun the clutches of the Custodes.
Phosphex, a fire-based weapon so evil that the Salamanders, a Legion notorious for their deep, throbbing love of fire, have explicitly condemned it and refuse to use it.
If I recall correctly they never used Destroyers within their legions. Frankly considering most destroyers were murderous psychopaths I can't say I blame them. It's actually more cost effective to exterminatis a planet and eventually reterraform that said planet over using Phosphex.
@@Ragnarra And on the flipside, you had the Dreadwing under the Dark Angels that had no reservations using it when actually deployed. Lion's little War-Crime unit. Gotta love Destroyer squads
@@Ragnarra the pyroclasts were the salamanders version of destroyers, opting to use flame projectors of vulkans own design instead of rad weaponry to bring extreme destruction and purification through fire to the enemies of the imperium
Phosphex and volkite weapons both seem like great examples of rare weaponry from the Great Crusade/Horus Heresy era that would be a perfect counter to the tyranids.
The virus bomb used for Exterminatus cant deal with Tyranids? I really dont know
@@usermanicoThat's a biological weapon which I'm sure the Tyranids can easily adapt to. Phosphex and vulkite weapons however
@@paimonisfood4986can’t adapt if you’re being reduced to chemical waste
@@usermanicoyou use the life eater on the Tyranids food, not on the Tyranids. Scorched earth style.
I mean it should be just as effective on them as it is everything else. As unless they can replace their entire cells with metal. There will be aspects the virus can eat. Bare minimum the tyranids will become very holey very quickly lol
The iron warrior destroyer had the vibe like he was saying “ HAH! You stupid fist, I poisoned your space weed!! Now burn in phosphex!” -that iron warrior, maybe
I GAVE THAT DIGGA NOB SIX THRONES, RUN!
Probably
@@appalachianwarcriminalDigga Nob you are broke! You can have the 3-day old Little Caesars from the fridge
And the Mechanicum adept who destroyed the STC was executed by Phosphex, using some of the limited supply they had left.....
The Imperium may brutal, but it can still understand irony.
You sir are clearly a real fan 😎
Wasnt this weapon called the Phosphenix?
It's poetic not ironic
"Fire that's been taught how to hate"
The most horrific weapon is an investment by black rock.
Not even an exterminatus would stop such infection.
For God's sake, Blackrock is just an asset manager
Black Rock stocks are up. Wayyy up. We'll be seeing more woke in GW in the future especially after Mr. Cavill's project.
The blackrock legion. Let the IP burn
Straight to the heart of Terra, the throne 😢
If an Imperial engagement has zero war crimes, it wasn't large enough to bother recording
Either that or didn’t have enough survivors to give testimony
Note that was the AD Mech person who discovered the STC who destroyed it, they were then ironically enough executed for the tech heresy via a Phospex weapon. It was a relic in 9th at least.
Imagine using it on Tyranids and have them adapt to being permanently on fire... And then they come in to invade. The galaxy would be doomed
What's worse, if they somehow managed to find a way to preserve the Phospex... Like a specialized nid similar to a Genestealer.
They would be able to get biomass more effectively. (With or without weakening the target world)
Pretty sure in lore the Phosphex also kinda adapts I mean it will literally do anything to burn shit down unless pure vacuum suddenly was created arounf it
So basically it's chlorine trifluoride (ClF3) but grimdark. It's so oxidizing it sets objects oxygen is unable to burn on fire. The hydrogen in water reacts with the Cl and F, forming fumes of chloridric and fluoridric acid.
it's attracted to movement.
I would not be surprised if it's a sentient nano-swarm. DAoT tech can sometimes be atrocious.
It would be perfect counter to the Tyranids, until they adapt and make their own version.
Hard to make your own version when it burns everything it touches. Plus, if the Tyranids used it they would not be able to gain biomass.
True @@robertnelson9599
@@robertnelson9599 The Tyranids already have powerful flame weapons 0f their own, so they could probably figure out how to make Phosphex. . .
@@stormsurge2103
Yeah, but would they risk it? Is it worth using? Because it will melt biomass into nothing
@@stormsurge2103flame and napalm/white phosphorus arent the same.
WP if shot into your body will cook you from the inside and smoke will burst from every orifice like youre a wickerman. Napalm burns in water.
even in the grim darkness of the far future, white phosphorus is still meta
War crime? You mean a unfriendly suggestion?
Geneva Checklist.
Tyranids when they get hit and chemically burned by phosphex:
For the love of god, For Love of God please damn…
Metal slides in summer: *finally, a worthy opponent*
Best day in Warhammer 40k:
Chlorine Trifluoride: So it is slightly safer than I am...
Ah N-stoff.
@@D8W2P4 My favorite quote about it from John D. Clark: "It is, of course, extremely toxic, but that's the least of the problem. It is hypergolic with every known fuel, and so rapidly hypergolic that no ignition delay has ever been measured. It is also hypergolic with such things as cloth, wood, and test engineers..."
Those poor test engineers.
Anyone who has played Helldivers knows the only thing more dangerous than a bug, is a bug that's also on fire and sets fire to everything it touches
It would honestly be super cool to have this stuff return. A grim bunch of Tyranid-hunters
Napalm would be better be like 'a lesser version of phosphex' that they got from the anarchists cookbook or something.
"Do you feel like a hero yet?"
>mechanicus does anything
>INSTANT DISTRUST
Only thing more dangerous than Phosphex is Games Workshop retconning a fact that even ChatGPT knows is true.
?
So it's like a super version of chlorine trifloride.
phosphex seems like a good tyranid counter until you realise they would probably adapt its chemical structure into their own weaponry and protection, creating literal alien hellspawn
When you want your enemies to feel absolute agony, inside and out
There is no such weapon that deserve to be destroyed and forgotten. If weapon is efective than it should be kept no matter what, there always is a possibility that it will be usefull one day.
D&D in a nutshell
*"Inq_Kryptman"* _entered the chat!_
Until us Niddy boys evolve a phosphex immune adaptation and now flamers are a tickle
Humanity got weapons so fucked up it’d make a lokust destroyer blush
Depends on when the tech priest destroyed it
If was before the tyranids even attacked their first world the I would say it was a good call for the dude to delete the STC considering how many nut jobs there are in the galaxy
If it was after they were discovered and known then that is a more complex discussion
I don’t know , after you destroy all the tyrannies on a planet using phosphor or use it in battle , the burning would never end after killing the tyranid, but if they used on the hive ships where it only burns the ship alive , then phosphex should be used
The STC was destroyed in either M38 or M39, can’t remember.
Couldn’t they just seal it in some very secure place?
That’s a funny way to say Matt Ward left alone with a type writer and G man’s poster.
gentlemen and ladies, the AdMech: the *very reason* why humanity is struggling.
Fuck yes majorkill!! Something I never heard of!
And he was adequately murdered for it
There is no phosphex, never was.
"TODAY... is christmas: There WILL be a magic show at zero-nine-thirty!"
- Space Marine looking at the clock on the wall right before pressing the big red button for releasing Phospex... on the tiny spider in his room.
"There will be NO QUARTER!!!"
Space King: 😏 "So proud of you..."
In reality, if it is as effective as you say it is, then it wouldn't be as torturous as you make it sound for the simple fact that it would burn off your nerves very quickly, preventing you from feeling the pain as you die.
No, it doesn't need to be fast, just unstoppable.
"its no suprise"
>A faction driven almost entirely on logic and not emotion
>A faction that worships STC more then their own self preservation
"Something something nobility is the greatest sin of all" -John Grimdark
Perfect counter to the Tyranids.
Tyranids proceed to adapt to it.
Good times rhymes with war crimes
A Mechanicum member willfully destroying an STC is like the Emperor saying "I'm proud of you" and actually meaning it.
One of Mortarion’s closest underlings is a woman he burned on his first campaign. She had the nerve and courage to come and actually speak to him.
>Noble character does something good
>It somehow backfires and fucks everything up
Classic 40k 😂
Willy Pete made it to the future with some upgrades.
You want banelings in Warhammer cause that's how you get banelings
It makes no sense for a member of the mechanicum to destroy the STC. It is holy knowledge from The Machine God and therefore must be preserved. They might bury the knowledge deep within the hidden and locked vaults on Mars, but they would absolutely perserve it.
Sounds like the perfect weapon to fight Nids.
Aquires the Phosphex
Goes to the Ghoul Stars
Bombs that one stubborn planet that keeps regenerating.
Bombs it again and again just to be sure.
Stays to make sure it stays burning.
Leaves when satisfied or otherwise.
The only approperiate use of Phosphex considering how hellish the Ghoul stars are.
Sounds like a black Templar thing to do
It'd be like Kryptonite for Orks.
Someones gotta have a small collection that's gonna see some hectic ww2 axis fighter pilot tricks to ram whats left into the heart of the incoming nids truly making the galaxy burn
Phosphex is a weaponized nanite swarm, essentially pseudo grey goo (not actual grey goo, because it is self limiting).
The "fire" and heat is just the energetic byproduct of rapid disassembly at the atomic level.
The closest thing humanity had to necron gauss weaponry in effect, if working through a different action.
The mechanicum destroyed an STC ......thats heresy.....lots of it. Ideal not only for Tyranids but for planets that have fallen to nurgle
Let's be honest the nids would adapt and then have their own phosphex bioforms
Nope
@@shamainebest4031 Maybe depends on whose writing the book. This does sound like a great anti-ork weapon though
How, they haven’t even adapted to flamers yet, but yet you think this bullshit is possible
@@Captain_Crump I mean you could get tyranids with asbestos skin possibly.
@@Captain_Crump the Tyranids did adapt to flamers though.
Instead of opting into durability through heavy armor the Hive Mind did invest into speed and offensive capabilities instead. Purestrain Genestealer are fast and stealthy enough to keep up with Space Marines and can pierce through the likes of power armor in close combat.
It's basically like the frenzied flame with an AI thrown in there
I honestly believe the Tyranids if exposed to phosphex they can adapt and who knows maybe make their own organic version of phosphex
But the Tyranids could not consume biomass if they used it.
@@robertnelson9599 could use that as a defensive measure they are immune to
@@a.r.h9919 Nope, it burns ANYTHING it touches the kids will not be immune to it and if they did it would backfire on them
@@shamainebest4031 and you know this how ? Have you asked the hive mind or gw ?
How do you even adapt to a flame that burns entire planets for millennia but not to heavy flamers. Make it make sense
"Finally, The galaxy will know just a little bit more peace without this STC..."
"Hey, Magos? Eeeeh... There's this new alien-"
"You got to be shitting me."
Unless it's pulling energy from the warp or some other zero point extra dimensional source, it literally couldnt continue to burn indefinitely, with or without oxygen or flammable material to consume. That's just not how chemical reactions work. Thus I put the stuff into the silly idea box.
Prior to the attack on Prospero, Leman Russ pulled enough Phosphex from Beta-Garmon to render an entire system lifeless
The Space Wolves are probably better off without them being led by him...
Hellmire fire tornados be like
Will you make a video on each legion's best accomplishment/battle/victory? Counting unification wars, crusade and heresy
And the Orks If a planet is bombed with that stuff, its the the perfect weapon to make sure they can never return. Or get a foothold on that planet again, which means they are no threat to the Galaxy all over.
And the garden, you may ruin the garden with that...unless Nurgle finds a way to make his legions immune to it... which would be bad
Still mad that they took away Mortarion's Phosphex bombs in 10th
Bro, using that against the tyranids could change everything
Bellasarius Cawl better get crackin' on the formula for Phosphex.
The Imperium needs more Plot Armor...
There is no setting that makes you regret committing war crimes quite like 40k.
Knowing tyranids/Games Workshop habits to adopt, we would probably get movable tyrs that could ignite everything they touched
So almost like "Fire Punch" then
Ask Lion or Roboute they probably know how to make it 😂
The real world lowball equivalent would probably be chlorine triflouride
No Geneva? No war crimes
This sounds like a chemical nano swarm
now consider that old timey alchemical weapons absolutely CLOWN phosphex on the 'AW SH*T' scale
So bad that Mechanicus destroyed STC. Omnishiah preserve us....
Hey, congrats on getting on Phill de Franco's show
Hey Magnus? Catch!
Idiots condemned themselves by destroying the STC. This shit could've get the Imperium rid of 'nids and orks. Now, poor Guilliman will just rip away all his hair as world upon world gets wrecked, never to be reclaimed, as the Imperium decays around him. And all he wanted was to relax at a farm.
Napalm and White Phosphorous? Sounds like a match made in Canada
Basically the insecticide for the Tyranids
The real-world inspiration might have been something like *chlorine trifluoride* - "ignites sand, asbestos, glass, and even ashes of substances that have already burned in oxygen. In one particular industrial accident, (it) burned through 30 cm of concrete and 90 cm of gravel beneath. (...) The compound reacts with water-based suppressors and CO2, rendering them counterproductive."
the one time anyone in the emperium tries to take the moral highground, just to basicly doom everyone with taking the perfect anti-tyranide weapon away.
thats 40k for you
Perfect counter to the Tyranids until they adapt and now you have Phosphex coated Tyranids running around.
Its not a war crime if its the first time.
I’m not convinced that the Iron Warriors don’t still have a stockpile of it somewhere
Phosphex was probably created specifically to push back tyrannid scout fleets during the age of AI
The one, the *ONE* AdMech with a single shred of common sense, & he accidentally damns the entire galaxy because of it. & people wonder why every aspect of the Imperium is so backwards.
In respospect the High Lords are a bunch of toddlers trapped in adults bodies would you want them in control of such things? When they lash out at people actually *actively trying to do a better job than them* and succeeding only to get the Inquisition set upon them for actually managing a entire world better than the high lords could do with the single brain cell between all of them could.
Might be for the best. You could wind up with this scenario: Tyranids see Phosphex as a major threat so they spend a century in a dark corner of the galaxy throwing billions of critters into pools of the stuff until they develop a strain that can resist it. Maybe make some units weaponisze the stuff like Banelings in Starcraft II.
*Nemesis chapter at the time of the calth betrayal*
I like phospex.
"There were always female Custodes."
-Blackrock
The DA legion had enslaved men of iron remains armed with launchers that fired phosphex canisters.. they also armed them with Nerve shredders
Sounds like it would have been the perfect weapon against the death guard too.
The war monger RIP
there is a real life chemical that can set fire to really anything as it reacts and cant be put out so the only thing one could really do about a fire caused by it is to wait it doesnt require oxygen to react either
Holy shit, that's something I never heard of and for a good reason I see.
A perfect analogy for the universe of WH40k: a weapon so horrible you'd rather destroy how to make it...And an enemy so terrible it requires weapons just as horrible.
Phosphex being the perfect weapon to use against the Tyranids in no way diminishes the nobility of the adept who destroyed its STC.
