36:00 Ya know I'd never thought I'd ever see a situation in 40k where an Imperial Loyalist unironically Utters the words "Sic Semper Tyrannis" but Salvadore Sondar won that dubious lottery...
A mistake in the naming of the noble house that gave Gaunt the relic as it was not Croe but that of House Chass one of the hive's prominent noble houses whom the lord of said house was the one who trusted Gaunt after his speaking up during the original strategy meeting between the Guard and House Command before the first storm had hit the Curtain Wall. After a short talk with Gaunt, Lord Chass had believed he had found a man he could trust and gave him the very metal rose himself personally as a sign of faith and protection with that said trust being proven during the third storm where upon seeing the Shield drop realized Sondar had gone well and truly mad. He told his only child, Merity Chass, his daughter to flee into one of the bunkers housing refugees and other citizens and made sure to leave the relic with her knowing it would be put to use in order to save the hive. When he personally went to get the Shield back online with some of his bodyguards, he took a bad wound in the leg from one of the High Master's flesh puppets and only the intervention of Gaunt with the Bluebloods along with Strum (who did come along before then fleeing himself in cowardice). Lord Chass did survive long enough to see the insane High Master fall and his body was dragged over to the console who only a noble of the Hive's gene-scan could activate the hive-shield. After all that and having just reestablished command and control Gaunt went to a damaged chapel next to the new High Command center where Merity Chass entered the chapel and told Gaunt everything about the relic as it was created to prevent any tyrants or would-be conquerers from truly taking over the hive. (A little late some might argue given the currently dead High Master fell into such a state even before the war) Of course Gaunt saw the danger the relic was but, still kept it with him after of course having a moment of passion with the new Lady Chass of House Chass (a bit of a wrong timing) but despite that moment it did convince Gaunt when the enemy command structure breached the Curtain Wall to use said device that proved invaluable to bringing down the Heritor's army before personally killing said warlord himself. (Also Gaunt had to face some of the Magister's personal bodyguards that proved a challenge before facing the Heritor) (Also Lady Merity Chass of House Chass did eventually become the new leader of one of the newly created Hive cities alongside House Anko who took over the other newly created hive)
Ya Arch not mentioning her part in the stuff going on and the aftermath is a little bit of an oversight imo, a little surprising too, usually Arch is very thorough
@@TheIceman101418It's a result of the style, Arch is presenting it as a Inquistor looking back over the offical records so although it'll be a problem later on it makes sense to pass over her relations with Gaunt as I doubt either were in a hurry to make an offical record of the encounter
@@maddlarkin Not at all. Gaunt became known as the "Savior of the Hive" and him being the father of Felyx Chass became part of the political powerbase of House Chass in the aftermath of all this.
I am loving the entire Series, But I am getting the suspicion that Inquisitor Arch, does not like Gaunt all that much. I am looking forward to the rest of the series.
I think he does like Gaunt but dislike instances such as in this book where Gaunt goes from the deepest underhive secret trial to the very top of the spire to slay it's master to proceed to plow the noble lady and walk down with the thigimachig that solves everything while killing the enemy commander and surviving a bolter shot to the hearth because of metal petals. I absolutely love Gaunt and the Tanith but that one's a bit much, i liked his fallibility at times in this book, he felt human and tired.
@@khorneflakes2175 dont get ne wrong, I love this book, and the entire Sires, lol, yes, I agree the world going to hell and he moves around the hive like stepping through a room, but if you go back to the start, Inquisitor ARCH, is not liking Gaunt much..lol
@@sethsof5244 Oh i'm not aware of any "inquisitor Arch disliking Gaunt" inside joke, i just assumed he would find some value in the character. Gaunt is flawed in the same ways as most 40k characters, although he doesn't have multiple writers pulling him in different directions Dan does that well enough by himself usually, i just think the character is great.
32:00 I think the reason the Tank regiment was just standing idle was due to be ordered to be idle. My guess is the PDF commissars wanted them there so they could witness their leader's death if the trial had happened to set an example, or at worst had the whole regiment purged if they found reason to do so from the trial.
I would be interested to see how successful a lightly armed planetary disciplinary detail would fair in attempting to purge a fully armed Elite Imperial Guard Tank regiment, I don't see it ending especially well or honestly anyone else in the Hive being able to do much about it should the tankers choose to object kenetically
It might be standard to put a fighting body on hold if their commanding officer is currently under arrest and prosecution, the fighting started abruptly and the communications were cut so the authority that had stopped the tank regiment was most likely tied up beneath the hive in Grizmund's trial, given that this trial was for breaking orders and making their own way i don't think the tank regiment was about to move anywhere unless told so.
@@khorneflakes2175 It's not, command would just devolve to Gizmund's XO, or whoever was senior if they were also arrested at the time, unless the unit had some how acted in a way which was suspect then they be stood down and disarmed, which the Narmerians hadn't by the mere fact they'd allowed the General's arrest and not gunned all the VPHC down (which would be Guard SOP for roudy traffic cops tbh) Although to be fair Cowle was desperate for presteige and may of ordered it even though it wasn't warranted. What is odd is there is no mention of the Namerian's own Commissars, 3 elite Armour regiments should have several Commissars at least one of whom should of matched or outrank Gaunt and Cowle in terms of citations and years of service (which is how commissars determine seniority) and should therefore of been able to over rule the arrest at the time, pursued the General's return from the VPHC, a local institution themselves with their higher authority and surely would of over ruled any attempt to stand down their regiments. The honest truth is this book was written in like 2000, and most of the points about how the Commissariat operate wouldn't be explored for another 5 years or so till the Cain books started to flesh it out. (That series starting in 2003 and most of this not being covered till the third book onwards)
@@maddlarkin I agree with 100% of what you said, there should logically have been disciplinary and rank officers in that unit that would have been able to establish command structure and initiate action in that situation. But in the absence of that structure the whole thing about them being punished for acting on their own just to find themselves in a situation where they are required to act on their own is a good enough excuse for their inaction. A few pages about some of Grizmund's officers sorting that out would have helped a lot here, or even Gaunt taking them with him as his backup to enforce his authority over the trial.
I wonder what Commissar Gaunt would think of Commissar Caine and vice versa. Probably Caine would think that Gaunt is a fool for running toward the enemy, but will never utter it.
I feel like I'm missing something, what's so bad about growing metalic roses? It's a weird hobby, but considering the things bored noble houses usually get up relatively harmless. It even proved to be a benefit at it allowed Gaunt to survive a point blank bolt round, of course he also had a meter thick plot armor jacket but still.
A metal rose strong enough to tank a Bolter shot at point blank range. My guess is there's something giving a sickly green glow nearby. Though certainly an improvement on the Hive Master's unfortunate art projects.
@@lordfrostwind3151point blank is the theoretical easiest place to stop a boltr round. Because it's a rocket. Granted it's initial velocity is still equal to a regular bullet.
Both Gaunt and the Tarnith are chads that are both good and lucky. The warp smiles on them . The question is what or who in the warp smiles on Guant and The Tarnith .
Ah yes, Dalin and Yoncy, the stupidest, most mean-spirited plot point ever introduced by a 40k writer and given some of the competition, Dan really excelled himself on that achievement!
@@ianmacdiarmid1249 in and of itself, maybe not there are things on a par, but when you add in how Abnett came up with the idea, I think there's a case to be made. Dan stated he came up with the idea based on a minor continuity error because in the first mention of Yoncy as a baby boy (it's only once as well if I remember correctly, as I think for the rest of the book Yoncy is just the baby) in the next book Dan described Yoncy as a girl because he forgot to look it up. So Dan decided to spin the whole rotten arc off from 1 minor mistake a decade earlier that everyone had forgotten or dismissed as an editorial error. There are a few other things in 40k that, in narrative terms, match the stupidity, but I think the reason for the creation of the arc and just how long it was drawn out is what clinches it.
@@ianmacdiarmid1249 Not sure how planning out a multipule book arc over a typo is lazy rather than stupid. Lazy would have just been to ignore the error (and we'd of all been happier for it)
I get the impression that Gaunt banging the noble woman .Was him picking up some habits from his troops. Who I'm sure were engaging on repopulation skills in battle to battle.
so, sorec didnt actually make hsi own rank pins, his followers did so as a joke after the nickname 'the general' stuck, he went along with it as it seemed to improve morale
1:11:30 Vervun Hive was a Small and Brittle Hive City even in the face of what they faced. Hades Hive on Armageddon wouldn't have broken from that and it took massed Orbital Bombardment to kill it in the end. Especially on a Planet that makes Its own Baneblades (a near unique feat for a Hive World) and if the Pyramid of Doom attacked it would probably be wrecked by things such as a Shadowsword Volcano Cannon or several of them.
Vervun Hives is more of an emergent Hive, a late stage one with a lot of the defensive features you'd expect of it's fully established cousin's but still open to the air and a spire not fully sprawled across the whole city. It's still a Hive, yes, though next to the real, fully established monsters you find on worlds like Armageddon or Necromunda, it's a village.
I'm curious as to how to do a proper Arch welcome. Is it "GUUUH-reetings and salutations" or is it "GRRRRR-reetings and salutations"? Anyone have any advice?
It is a delicate art. A proper Arch greeting has three elements: To wit! "Guh (or Gah)-rrrrrrrrrrr-eetingsandsalutations! You need to pause, very briefly, on the initial "Guh" before launching into the long, rolled r.
"DRIVE! DRIVE TO RUIN AND THE HIVE'S ENDING!!! DEEEAAAAATHHHHHHH!!!" -General Grismond, commander of the Nimerian massed armoured counter thrust from the inner hive to the eastern curtain wall, attributed
General Grismond as Eomer... Hmm. Well, they were both arrested, it's just that proceedings with Eomer got far enough for house arrest to be issued before the overturning in his case.
@@BernddasBrotB7 and Eomer went rogue and was riding out through the eastern region of Rohan recruiting what forces he could. You know, like Grismond was doing when he was arrested.
I think part of it is he spent so much time on it, and the book is hugely detailed. I wonder if Arch orginally planned on doing 4 videos on it. I think he might have just been a little burned out on this one.
For years Arch has had a habit of promoting Gaunt from an _Ibram_ to an _Ibrahim._ He'd done a good job mending this thusfar, _but_ in this episode he slipped once more. No hate, I just happen to notice it every time : D
@@thatorangeguy3646 indeed, having two liquids side by side, even just in adjacent syllables, is difficult for the Nordics - I feel him for that : D At least he doesn't have an intrusive r.
The bloodline needs to be preserved. I understand the commissar completely and what was the problem with the steel rose? Why would they have wished to have parishes if found out????
Climbing the tower. Mythinks that someone forgot the scale of 40K buildings. The largest tower on RL Earth is the Burj Khalifa, at 830m tall. Out with the pitons lads, up we go.
@@robertnelson9599...by who? No seriously who they are effectively behind the enemies lines at that point and people don't tend to look up, or down let alone in areas where people couldn't be to begin with. There's alot more important areas to watch and look for.
Yeah the whole infantry commanders being higher in the pecking order to armor commanders regardless of rank thing is an authorial ass pull to put Gaunt in charge. In every military I've ever heard of rank trumps nearly every other consideration when it comes to continuity of command. Also complete and utter nonsense are the tactics of the armored counterattack. Generally speaking tanks do not "charge" into close quarters combat with enemy armor. There are only two cases I can think of where the sort of combat described ever occurred without the attackers being completely butchered was an attack by a British tank battalion during Operation Crusader during the North Africa Campaign of WW2 that saw the British, using American M3 light tanks, came across a German Panzer Division in a sudden engagement at close range that turned into a massive World of Tanks match, and the Battle of 73 Easting where the American commander of an Armored Cavalry Troop charged an Iraqi tank battalion and completely destroyed it because they caught the Iraqis by surprise. Both of these cases were surprise close contact engagements in desert environments.
A bit late for my response, but maybe the close range assault for tanks happens due to the same excuse of using melee weapons in a battlefield of guns (laser guns at that). The armour must have evolved in such a way as to render conventional vehicle combat ineffective to completely cripple the enemy, so the closer you are to the enemy, greater the chances of dealing with it. Its not a perfect excuse, but its something.

But... it's a LANCE weapon. Soooo wouldn't it's "barrel" be largely superfluous and end not in a breach chamber, but a focusing lense they would be incapable of piercing?
Considering everything else he did with just the resources of a single hive, I'm willing to believe that asphodel(RIP) simply had enough brains to reverse engineer a lance weapon from the technology he had at hand, no way the imperium wouldn't have noticed him bringing a ship down to the planet.
the sabbat worlds playlist appears to be in a totally wrong order... quite annoying, I have no idea in what order the episodes are supposed to be... please fix
I now imagine the Inquistor explaining the life of Ciaphas Cain and him just groaning the entire time that his fellow inquistors were absolutely worthless in reading the man.
Were did the enemy get all those people and vehicles? Has the inheritor smuggled heretic forces to the planet before the conflict or what? Some of it could be explained by mass recruitment and focused manufacturing on the some years inheritor has been on planet but Ferezoikans seem to have distubingly high power compared to Vervunhive.
Essentially the chaos forces had mobilized the entire hive through corruption, while vervunhive only had the normal fraction of the population dedicated to military service. Asphodel had turned the entire hive cities industry towards war for years, then used every man, woman, and child as a combatant
This ^ Its roughly 5yrs he was there turning the hive into a full scale arms forge and enslaved the entire population. He also had some followers that had fled with him on his ship.

Best case scenario, the Mechanicum comes knocking asking where you got this from and the Ordos Hereticus and/or Xenos might come by for the same reason. Worst case scenario, the Ordo Xenos gets called in because of Necrons.
I was going to ask will vincula insurgency be covered too(while it is a part of gaunt's ghosts, not sure if it's connected to the sabbat crusade(it's definitely set before vervunhive), was interesting read, marred by the bs gw naming(astra militarum and all that). Folks, mark and remember the Heritor Asphodel, his woe machines and Gol Kolea and his children, because they share a connection(one that will come much, much later in the story). As for good colonel-commisar, there's a lot in store for him, the story is only starting from here on out. Lastly, what saved gaunt was most probably the plot armor of all plot armors, since that metal rose must have been either very thick, or heritor's bolts were underpowered, or bolt pistol was for once shown to be as weak at point blank range as it's real-life inspiration(and failure) that was the gyrojet. Edit to add: gaunt's romantic escapades will also get to haunt him later.
This was a long detour just to have the day saved at the last minute and to say the crusade is a bit over extended...cant wait to get back to the crusade at large again.
Man I wish I could watch this series right now, but with you spoiling the shit out of the Gaunt books I couldn’t do it anymore. Gotta wait until I finally finish them
Sorry, but everytime I hear of them, I imagine the Spoilers regiment charging the enemy with battlecries such as "Dumbledore dies !", "He was Kaiser söhze all along", or "It was all a dream" ... Much to said enemy's confusion...
I literally just read the book. This definitely happened, but calling his actions "assaulting" the vervunhive commissar might be overexagerating. He had disarmed the commissar after the commissar pulled a gun on him.
@@narkingsonthegreat6905 Im more talking about him supposedly plowing through industrial zones. He broke a gate to get to an unused road reserved for pdf commissars, thats about it.
Another problem with the Tanith becoming a mixed regiment is that they are recon specialists. They have to spend a lot of time deep in enemy lines moving quickly and fast with all equipment being carried by every man. If you put around a 200 pounds of equipment on a woman, and ask her to move fast, quietly, and through rough terrain for a prolonged period of time, she's going to fucking break and ruin everything for the rest of the squad.
@@DragonHammer45 utter bullshit. Have you actually read the series? The Tanith received nothing but a boon in their new women soldiers. It is a guaranteed issue that interpersonal relationships will happen. But saying "just because wahmen" meant the Tanith suffered tactically, you're either a dumb fuck troll or you never read the GG series
@@Seraphim_Metal_Works only speaking from fact. Tona creed and several other female members of the Tanith made a pretty significant impact on the story in multiple ways, as do the Bellaraphon reinforcement later on.
although i agree on principle, this is 40k, many common humans have cybernetic implants to enhance their bodies, many different drugs also exist to enhance performance, and since humanity is always outnumbered, they use every able bodied person to fight, those who cant carry on are usually left behind or executed
im stupid so correct me but are mixed gender regiments that weird in 40k? yeah theres obviously gonna be issues but i kinda thought it was more egalitarian? or was it just weird for the tarnith?
Sorry......a decorative metal rose stopped and armour pricing mass reactive RPG? Even if it stopped it, it didn't blow up and take the commissars face off?
RPGs in our time have an arming distance. Something along the lines of 5 meters or so. Don't know if that's the case for bolters. However, even if that's true, the round does carry a significant amount of kinetic energy, energy that would be transfered to the...target.
@babayaga6376 there's multiple instances of ".....fired his bolt gun at point Blank range" in 40k stories so I always assumed there is no arming distance and that the gyrojets kicking immediately after it leaves the barrel.
Yeah, 1v1 a space marine, after soloing several demons, getting shot in the chest with a bolter and walk it off because of a magic flower. That was a pretty weak way to end it.

(Also Gaunt had to face some of the Magister's personal bodyguards that proved a challenge before facing the Heritor)
(Also Lady Merity Chass of House Chass did eventually become the new leader of one of the newly created Hive cities alongside House Anko who took over the other newly created hive)
Ya Arch not mentioning her part in the stuff going on and the aftermath is a little bit of an oversight imo, a little surprising too, usually Arch is very thorough
@@TheIceman101418It's a result of the style, Arch is presenting it as a Inquistor looking back over the offical records so although it'll be a problem later on it makes sense to pass over her relations with Gaunt as I doubt either were in a hurry to make an offical record of the encounter
@@maddlarkin Not at all. Gaunt became known as the "Savior of the Hive" and him being the father of Felyx Chass became part of the political powerbase of House Chass in the aftermath of all this.
@@BismarckDidNothingWrong I was thinking more the circumstances of her conception
@@maddlarkin Fair enough
I am loving the entire Series, But I am getting the suspicion that Inquisitor Arch, does not like Gaunt all that much. I am looking forward to the rest of the series.
I think he does like Gaunt but dislike instances such as in this book where Gaunt goes from the deepest underhive secret trial to the very top of the spire to slay it's master to proceed to plow the noble lady and walk down with the thigimachig that solves everything while killing the enemy commander and surviving a bolter shot to the hearth because of metal petals.
I absolutely love Gaunt and the Tanith but that one's a bit much, i liked his fallibility at times in this book, he felt human and tired.
@@khorneflakes2175 dont get ne wrong, I love this book, and the entire Sires, lol, yes, I agree the world going to hell and he moves around the hive like stepping through a room, but if you go back to the start, Inquisitor ARCH, is not liking Gaunt much..lol
Fair enough. Gaunt’s Ghosts is well liked but I’ve found Gaunt has something of a divisive reputation among fans.
@@sethsof5244 Oh i'm not aware of any "inquisitor Arch disliking Gaunt" inside joke, i just assumed he would find some value in the character. Gaunt is flawed in the same ways as most 40k characters, although he doesn't have multiple writers pulling him in different directions Dan does that well enough by himself usually, i just think the character is great.
Gaunt complicates the command structure. The gaurd thrives on keeping things simple. Also he is so uptight that even an inquisitor thinks he is odd.
32:00 I think the reason the Tank regiment was just standing idle was due to be ordered to be idle. My guess is the PDF commissars wanted them there so they could witness their leader's death if the trial had happened to set an example, or at worst had the whole regiment purged if they found reason to do so from the trial.
I would be interested to see how successful a lightly armed planetary disciplinary detail would fair in attempting to purge a fully armed Elite Imperial Guard Tank regiment, I don't see it ending especially well or honestly anyone else in the Hive being able to do much about it should the tankers choose to object kenetically
It's one of those situations where a regiment turns coat for very understandable reasons. The Imperium is its own worst enemy at times.
It might be standard to put a fighting body on hold if their commanding officer is currently under arrest and prosecution, the fighting started abruptly and the communications were cut so the authority that had stopped the tank regiment was most likely tied up beneath the hive in Grizmund's trial, given that this trial was for breaking orders and making their own way i don't think the tank regiment was about to move anywhere unless told so.
@@khorneflakes2175 It's not, command would just devolve to Gizmund's XO, or whoever was senior if they were also arrested at the time, unless the unit had some how acted in a way which was suspect then they be stood down and disarmed, which the Narmerians hadn't by the mere fact they'd allowed the General's arrest and not gunned all the VPHC down (which would be Guard SOP for roudy traffic cops tbh) Although to be fair Cowle was desperate for presteige and may of ordered it even though it wasn't warranted. What is odd is there is no mention of the Namerian's own Commissars, 3 elite Armour regiments should have several Commissars at least one of whom should of matched or outrank Gaunt and Cowle in terms of citations and years of service (which is how commissars determine seniority) and should therefore of been able to over rule the arrest at the time, pursued the General's return from the VPHC, a local institution themselves with their higher authority and surely would of over ruled any attempt to stand down their regiments.
The honest truth is this book was written in like 2000, and most of the points about how the Commissariat operate wouldn't be explored for another 5 years or so till the Cain books started to flesh it out. (That series starting in 2003 and most of this not being covered till the third book onwards)
@@maddlarkin I agree with 100% of what you said, there should logically have been disciplinary and rank officers in that unit that would have been able to establish command structure and initiate action in that situation. But in the absence of that structure the whole thing about them being punished for acting on their own just to find themselves in a situation where they are required to act on their own is a good enough excuse for their inaction. A few pages about some of Grizmund's officers sorting that out would have helped a lot here, or even Gaunt taking them with him as his backup to enforce his authority over the trial.
After vraks, will you remaster Armageddon?
He should just full on remake them. They’re showing their age in more than just visuals.
Virtual crack from our man Arch.
Could we all agree that Lijah Cuu is the biggest Piece of shot in the hole Gaunts Ghost novel and Maybe the greatest Asshole in Warhammer 40k?
Nah. He is number 2 after Erebus.
I wonder what Commissar Gaunt would think of Commissar Caine and vice versa.
Probably Caine would think that Gaunt is a fool for running toward the enemy, but will never utter it.
And Gaunt would think Caine was a fool for leaving the safety of the rear line artillery to go solo a tyrannid flanking force lol.
Well I am glad the Tarneth won't die out.
(I am pretty sure half of the regiment would be pregnant within a month).
I feel like I'm missing something, what's so bad about growing metalic roses? It's a weird hobby, but considering the things bored noble houses usually get up relatively harmless. It even proved to be a benefit at it allowed Gaunt to survive a point blank bolt round, of course he also had a meter thick plot armor jacket but still.
*butt still
Metal that exhibits signs of life is certain to raise a few inquisitorial eyebrows and tickle the olfactory receptors of the Mechanicus.
A metal rose strong enough to tank a Bolter shot at point blank range. My guess is there's something giving a sickly green glow nearby. Though certainly an improvement on the Hive Master's unfortunate art projects.
I thought he said it was a master crafted rose? But then he said there was a garden of these roses. So, was Arch mispeaking?
@@lordfrostwind3151point blank is the theoretical easiest place to stop a boltr round. Because it's a rocket. Granted it's initial velocity is still equal to a regular bullet.
53:18 To be fair that Amorous escapade was Her idea.
"I gave you a sword...give me something in return..."
Gaunt: "Meatstick it is then..."
Both Gaunt and the Tarnith are chads that are both good and lucky. The warp smiles on them . The question is what or who in the warp smiles on Guant and The Tarnith .
Ah yes, Dalin and Yoncy, the stupidest, most mean-spirited plot point ever introduced by a 40k writer and given some of the competition, Dan really excelled himself on that achievement!
Most mean spirited? Indeed. Stupidest? Doubtful
@@ianmacdiarmid1249 in and of itself, maybe not there are things on a par, but when you add in how Abnett came up with the idea, I think there's a case to be made. Dan stated he came up with the idea based on a minor continuity error because in the first mention of Yoncy as a baby boy (it's only once as well if I remember correctly, as I think for the rest of the book Yoncy is just the baby) in the next book Dan described Yoncy as a girl because he forgot to look it up.
So Dan decided to spin the whole rotten arc off from 1 minor mistake a decade earlier that everyone had forgotten or dismissed as an editorial error. There are a few other things in 40k that, in narrative terms, match the stupidity, but I think the reason for the creation of the arc and just how long it was drawn out is what clinches it.
@@maddlarkin makes it more lazy than stupid.
That fkd me up hardcore.
@@ianmacdiarmid1249 Not sure how planning out a multipule book arc over a typo is lazy rather than stupid. Lazy would have just been to ignore the error (and we'd of all been happier for it)
I listen to this, the badab, and vraks series while playing Darktide. Fun time to be had altogether.
I get the impression that Gaunt banging the noble woman .Was him picking up some habits from his troops. Who I'm sure were engaging on repopulation skills in battle to battle.
What?
Who says you can't have carnal fun as a Commisar? Look at the best Commisar of all: Caiaphas Cain!
No one is saying that it just the timing could have been better 😂.
so, sorec didnt actually make hsi own rank pins, his followers did so as a joke after the nickname 'the general' stuck, he went along with it as it seemed to improve morale
1:11:30 Vervun Hive was a Small and Brittle Hive City even in the face of what they faced. Hades Hive on Armageddon wouldn't have broken from that and it took massed Orbital Bombardment to kill it in the end. Especially on a Planet that makes Its own Baneblades (a near unique feat for a Hive World) and if the Pyramid of Doom attacked it would probably be wrecked by things such as a Shadowsword Volcano Cannon or several of them.
Vervun Hives is more of an emergent Hive, a late stage one with a lot of the defensive features you'd expect of it's fully established cousin's but still open to the air and a spire not fully sprawled across the whole city. It's still a Hive, yes, though next to the real, fully established monsters you find on worlds like Armageddon or Necromunda, it's a village.
I'm curious as to how to do a proper Arch welcome. Is it "GUUUH-reetings and salutations" or is it "GRRRRR-reetings and salutations"? Anyone have any advice?
Geuuu-rrrrrittings and salutations ?...
It is a delicate art. A proper Arch greeting has three elements: To wit!
"Guh (or Gah)-rrrrrrrrrrr-eetingsandsalutations! You need to pause, very briefly, on the initial "Guh" before launching into the long, rolled r.

So that's what a Chaos Ordinatus looks like.
Feel like Arch phoned in this book a little bit, had some inaccuracies in the series but it was over all enjoyable.
I think part of it is he spent so much time on it, and the book is hugely detailed. I wonder if Arch orginally planned on doing 4 videos on it. I think he might have just been a little burned out on this one.

@@robertnelson9599...by who?
No seriously who they are effectively behind the enemies lines at that point and people don't tend to look up, or down let alone in areas where people couldn't be to begin with. There's alot more important areas to watch and look for.
Yeah the whole infantry commanders being higher in the pecking order to armor commanders regardless of rank thing is an authorial ass pull to put Gaunt in charge. In every military I've ever heard of rank trumps nearly every other consideration when it comes to continuity of command.
Also complete and utter nonsense are the tactics of the armored counterattack. Generally speaking tanks do not "charge" into close quarters combat with enemy armor. There are only two cases I can think of where the sort of combat described ever occurred without the attackers being completely butchered was an attack by a British tank battalion during Operation Crusader during the North Africa Campaign of WW2 that saw the British, using American M3 light tanks, came across a German Panzer Division in a sudden engagement at close range that turned into a massive World of Tanks match, and the Battle of 73 Easting where the American commander of an Armored Cavalry Troop charged an Iraqi tank battalion and completely destroyed it because they caught the Iraqis by surprise. Both of these cases were surprise close contact engagements in desert environments.
It's sci-fi fantasy set 39,000 years from now. Dont base it on current military behavior.
A bit late for my response, but maybe the close range assault for tanks happens due to the same excuse of using melee weapons in a battlefield of guns (laser guns at that). The armour must have evolved in such a way as to render conventional vehicle combat ineffective to completely cripple the enemy, so the closer you are to the enemy, greater the chances of dealing with it. Its not a perfect excuse, but its something.

Considering everything else he did with just the resources of a single hive, I'm willing to believe that asphodel(RIP) simply had enough brains to reverse engineer a lance weapon from the technology he had at hand, no way the imperium wouldn't have noticed him bringing a ship down to the planet.

Alright, new Sabbat video.
Let's see how the Commissars are doin'.
I now imagine the Inquistor explaining the life of Ciaphas Cain and him just groaning the entire time that his fellow inquistors were absolutely worthless in reading the man.
Were did the enemy get all those people and vehicles? Has the inheritor smuggled heretic forces to the planet before the conflict or what?
Some of it could be explained by mass recruitment and focused manufacturing on the some years inheritor has been on planet but Ferezoikans seem to have distubingly high power compared to Vervunhive.
Essentially the chaos forces had mobilized the entire hive through corruption, while vervunhive only had the normal fraction of the population dedicated to military service. Asphodel had turned the entire hive cities industry towards war for years, then used every man, woman, and child as a combatant
This ^
Its roughly 5yrs he was there turning the hive into a full scale arms forge and enslaved the entire population. He also had some followers that had fled with him on his ship.
Plus there was another hive that blew up they probably recruited from as well

Still no world for the our ghosts.
I was going to ask will vincula insurgency be covered too(while it is a part of gaunt's ghosts, not sure if it's connected to the sabbat crusade(it's definitely set before vervunhive), was interesting read, marred by the bs gw naming(astra militarum and all that).
Folks, mark and remember the Heritor Asphodel, his woe machines and Gol Kolea and his children, because they share a connection(one that will come much, much later in the story). As for good colonel-commisar, there's a lot in store for him, the story is only starting from here on out.
Lastly, what saved gaunt was most probably the plot armor of all plot armors, since that metal rose must have been either very thick, or heritor's bolts were underpowered, or bolt pistol was for once shown to be as weak at point blank range as it's real-life inspiration(and failure) that was the gyrojet.
Edit to add: gaunt's romantic escapades will also get to haunt him later.
This was a long detour just to have the day saved at the last minute and to say the crusade is a bit over extended...cant wait to get back to the crusade at large again.
