[SPEAKER_01]: Welcome to the Forty K-Lorecast.
[SPEAKER_01]: Welcome to Forty K. Lorcaz with me, John Barsadian, Brett Chester.
[SPEAKER_01]: Disguise.
[SPEAKER_01]: Today, we're getting to the end and finalizing our telling of the War of Rax, because it's been going on for a while.
[SPEAKER_01]: A lot longer than the Imperium wanted.
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh-huh.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a disaster.
[SPEAKER_02]: Get the oil.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, we're getting to the edge, but like, it is...
[SPEAKER_02]: a great story.
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's talk about it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I work so much on it just a little bit.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a great story.
[SPEAKER_02]: So much stuff happens.
[SPEAKER_02]: And at the end, you get possibly the most unfulfilling ending of all time.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, the truth is the entire story was written to sell a bunch of models that GW has since ruled our illegal, and at the time almost every tournament ruled was illegal because man, where they'd good.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, true story.
[SPEAKER_01]: Not for the K-Lorecast.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, for the K-Lorecast and weekly show focusing on the lore of the Warhammer 40K Universe, releasing every Monday at 7 p.m. Eastern.

[SPEAKER_01]: One, buy our merchandise.
[SPEAKER_01]: A lot of people apparently did and walked up to us at a depth of kind wearing it, which was super cool.
[SPEAKER_01]: Link in the show notes to that.
[SPEAKER_01]: That was super awesome.
[SPEAKER_02]: I did love it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I was just so happy to see it.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is also something I fought for so much with you.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I was I felt like no one would want our merchandise.
[SPEAKER_01]: I was wrong.
[SPEAKER_01]: But the other way you can help us out is you can join our Patreon and just to best money.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a great way for us to upgrade our equipment help us kind of go more places to do more things.
[SPEAKER_01]: So thank you all for doing that.
[SPEAKER_01]: Patreon, really simple, $4.99 a month.
[SPEAKER_01]: You get this show and history of 40K ad free, or $3.95 Swiss francs.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going there today.
[SPEAKER_01]: Fun thing about Switzerland.
[SPEAKER_01]: I know I always knew about pale face Swiss, but recently, zone or?
[SPEAKER_01]: Poli is zone are good.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, and if you know what that is, oh, go to Spotify and look up zone or X-O-N-O-R. And, or if you are brand new at migraines, don't do that.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's heavy.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's the rash metal.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it's really, really good.
[SPEAKER_01]: The rash metal.
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, but today, we're going to cover the town of food because honestly, why not?
[SPEAKER_01]: Food, it's a little south and east of burn.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's an ancient town having first being settled in the Neolithic age.
[SPEAKER_01]: It became a part of the Roman Legion because the territory that's named from, which is a Celtic phrase for a fortified town.
[SPEAKER_01]: And Thun has this kind of continued that tradition and today it hosts the main military Academy of Switzerland.
[SPEAKER_01]: But that's not why you go to Thun.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I guess if you're Swiss, you are, because you have to join the military Academy.
[SPEAKER_01]: So for them, that's why you go there.
[SPEAKER_01]: But for the rest of us, the reason you go there is because you like being outdoors and doing fun stuff.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a part of the region, it's what's one that's kind of amazing for burning energy.
[SPEAKER_01]: It sits the base of the alps, so you have hiking, if it's warm out, or cold, if you're a psychopath, skiing in scene views, but the Swiss are, by the way, also a little bit nutty when it comes to stuff, because you've got paragliding, which interlockens better, but interlockens boring, and it's close enough to interlock, and you've river surfing,
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm one of the people who gets bored on vacations easily, so places like this are great because I can just go off and do stuff and hike up a mountain and get a one hell of a view of the sun setting over the Alps coming into the lakes.
[SPEAKER_01]: Same with Lucerne's really beautiful, most of Switzerland's pretty, and they have really good cheese.
[SPEAKER_02]: something from a fantasy setting, so like I was expecting you to go parasailing also the Temple of Elemental Evil's entrance is actually in thinnest.
[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously the inverse of places you should go because everything you have to do in thinnest involves going up.
[SPEAKER_02]: I am perfectly fine and I'm going to live forever.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just, I'm just saying, you're not built for going up.
[SPEAKER_01]: You're very, like I said, it's, you're good at flat, flat surfaces.
[SPEAKER_01]: What was their natural sprinters, John?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, but not climbers.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's, yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just I need so many more handholds.
[SPEAKER_01]: Anyway, lastly, it's always during discord.
[SPEAKER_01]: We can come in and tell me all the things I get wrong or tell me what country to cover next, which is why we did so it's so good.
[SPEAKER_01]: Discord's been great recently.
[SPEAKER_01]: Great place to interact.
[SPEAKER_01]: Especially for those who don't know, there's a new addition coming out 11th edition.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're seeing it at the pop off in our discord quite a lot of people are asking a lot of questions.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: Why?
[SPEAKER_01]: Why is it so different?
[SPEAKER_01]: A lot of actually very good advice has been going on in there.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're also seeing a lot, we're going to see what the change in addition a lot more, lower changes, a lot of great stuff in there around that.
[SPEAKER_01]: We really do love our discord because it's been molded very well into a great place for advice and great place for kind of knowledge gaining, which is the most important thing for me.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, because if you were new to this and you kind of want to ask some questions get some advice and where to go.
[SPEAKER_01]: Come on in.
[SPEAKER_01]: There's also is the Ask John and Brad channel.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's there.
[SPEAKER_01]: You should have one fun channel.
[SPEAKER_01]: This month was what's wrong with Toledo.
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll see what next month is.
[SPEAKER_01]: There was a lot wrong with Toledo.
[SPEAKER_01]: I did find out someone did post apparently it's illegal to hunt whales on Sunday in Ohio but that turned out to not be true.
[SPEAKER_01]: That was not.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's an urban legend.
[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, oh, that was too bad.
[SPEAKER_02]: I did not say you something specifically because I didn't want it on the destroyed this week.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Brad called me and said he was at lunch with a friend of his and there was a wind storm and the wind storm knocked down a trash can and then it created what was of ineffective garbage tornado outside of the store.
[SPEAKER_01]: And the viewpoint at everyone inside was like, yeah, that looks that tracks for Toledo.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not one.
[SPEAKER_02]: I was just taking a video.
[SPEAKER_02]: No one for no one, and I don't want this to be the be What a poor rabbit.
[SPEAKER_01]: I would have posted on YouTube channel.
[SPEAKER_01]: Are you kidding me?
[SPEAKER_01]: I would put it everywhere But the promise everyone had been like, oh my god, where is that?
[SPEAKER_01]: They were and said I was in Toledo and they were like, yeah, yeah, that's fine fair enough
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, but let's get the frex.
[SPEAKER_02]: So where were we the 88th all done because I want to get the positive mojo going because the 88th everything look great.
[SPEAKER_02]: They finally pushed it.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're like we got this.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're taking the whole thing I mean, there's a little problem with roaming knurgle and you know some titans and stuff, but like I mean, that's no big deal.
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll probably handle that by the weekend
[SPEAKER_01]: And then, well, yeah, there's some other stuff going on.
[SPEAKER_01]: So they're settled pretty well.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're sitting kind of outside the Citadel, but back on Terra, this debate is going on.
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's been going on for a while.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're 13 years into what's supposed to be a 12 year war and the gains that they're making are almost being countered by the losses.
[SPEAKER_01]: They are in final gates.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I like it because they also call out that no one's even sure how many let's creeks, by the way, how many creeks are dead?
[SPEAKER_01]: Is it 6 million?
[SPEAKER_01]: Is it 8 million?
[SPEAKER_01]: No one's really sure, because they keep making more creeks, but there's a lot dead.
[SPEAKER_01]: And the problem is now chaos, space marines are present.
[SPEAKER_02]: But what's it will not just present, they are in force.
[SPEAKER_02]: We have an Alpha Legion kind of showing up in dibbling dabble.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now we have multiple gods.
[SPEAKER_02]: It cancels in currions are now happening, which is a big thing.
[SPEAKER_01]: But what's also occurring is rival factions back on terror, are starting their rise up, but who's?
[SPEAKER_01]: best suited or who's, you know, deserves.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's the handle, the final portion of the battle.
[SPEAKER_01]: It would include be the glory.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a little bit of a convoluted stuff.
[SPEAKER_01]: Some of this is glory.
[SPEAKER_01]: Some of this is just old rivalries.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's also not in charge.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're taking up big stands.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I should be running this.
[SPEAKER_02]: Everybody agrees that it should be dealt with.
[SPEAKER_02]: No one agrees who's supposed to be running.
[SPEAKER_01]: And one of the main ones is Ordo Heredicus, who feel quite strongly about this, because don't forget, it was one of their own who started it.
[SPEAKER_01]: So their viewpoint is we should be allowed to finish it, because sisters of battle or his sisters, if they were battle, whatever sisters were taken prisoner and theory killed.
[SPEAKER_02]: A lot of them are taken prisoner.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a lot for sisters, really.
[SPEAKER_01]: It ericisters cast how many sisters are there in the galaxy, bro.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know, well, it's a lot of prisoners taking it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't say a lot of prisoners, sisters killed.
[SPEAKER_02]: That happens all the time.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm going to say it was like seven quadrillion sisters in the galaxy.
[SPEAKER_01]: They could just conquer the galaxy with them.
[SPEAKER_01]: But the issue is, yeah, the order of her ready because they're going like, yeah, our guy started this, we want to be the ones who, you know, finish it.
[SPEAKER_01]: The old, I brought you into this role.
[SPEAKER_01]: They'll take you out of it.
[SPEAKER_01]: That was where they were coming from at the same time.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the adapters have been a stratum, have been waiting to war.
[SPEAKER_01]: Their viewpoint is like, hey, we've been doing it the whole time.
[SPEAKER_01]: Why is anyone else getting involved?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, it's been our war.
[SPEAKER_01]: Screw you.
[SPEAKER_02]: The best counter for this, which is what the artist Meli has eventually says is, yeah, you've been in charge for 13 years.
[SPEAKER_02]: How's it going?
[SPEAKER_02]: Which is hit to get there, which is very getting there.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the big one though is Ordo Malias.
[SPEAKER_01]: So Ordo Malias, in this guy's inquisitor named Hector Rex, shows up.
[SPEAKER_01]: And Hector Rex is a very well-seasoned, very experienced member of the Ordo Malias.
[SPEAKER_01]: And he had been consulting with a warp seer who had read the tarot cards, how they wrote it in the book, and he more than our notes.
[SPEAKER_02]: Harrow cards, I'm pausing on this.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, he says this is the dumb thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: He reads the tarot cards and cracks good.
[SPEAKER_02]: Fracks is going to fall to chaos.
[SPEAKER_02]: If something wasn't done, we have to send the malice.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, man, I could have done a Google search on this.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, I just Googled will this planet fall to chaos?
[SPEAKER_02]: If there's a crap ton of chaos on it, no one doesn't think about it.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not even a, this isn't even a hay series.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's more like, as much a demon's there.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, what happens if we don't do anything about it?
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, it'll be, it'll get worse.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it'll, it'll, it'll okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Weird, it's gonna fold.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, it's a terrible card reading.
[SPEAKER_02]: He figured out, you're like, no, man, there's cast there.
[SPEAKER_02]: If you don't do anything about cast, it will fall to cast.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, it's like a doctor you go to.
[SPEAKER_01]: You've got a wound that's oozing pus.
[SPEAKER_01]: You should take antibiotics.
[SPEAKER_01]: How did you know that?
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what you have a daily bread.
[SPEAKER_01]: We just get the nail out.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, good.
[SPEAKER_01]: God.
[SPEAKER_01]: But Adio, it's a hector Rex goes through this Conclave of Scarus and says to them, Hey, I want you to grant me the right to take over Rex.
[SPEAKER_01]: And he brings with him this, you know, Seer and they do because they do effectively Realize.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a big deal.
[SPEAKER_01]: If this world, because the Seer tells them, if this world isn't handled correctly, it will turn to a demon world.
[SPEAKER_01]: Meaning, there will be a demon world just outside the eye of terror, allowing for a staging point for all future Black Crusades.
[SPEAKER_01]: So we're going to call that one bad.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a bad.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so inquisers granted this.
[SPEAKER_01]: Meanwhile, back on Vrax, inquisitor Cagori has no idea about any of this.
[SPEAKER_01]: He just gets a note saying, hey, you've got a visitor and it's the inquisition.
[SPEAKER_01]: So he takes the meeting because he's not at it.
[SPEAKER_02]: He tells us, uh, he doesn't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: I've got time next week on Thursday.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's like, yeah, it looks like I've got some time right now.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, let's hang out.
[SPEAKER_01]: And he comes in and he meets and quist directs who goes, yeah, I'm taking over and not like soon, like right now.
[SPEAKER_01]: And he does explain to Kagori, he's not, I mean, he's not a jerk in this meeting.
[SPEAKER_01]: He explains to him that the people of racks are basically giving themselves over to the gods of chaos, massive way to it.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not like there's a couple hidden calls.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, like just the population is just full on.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, because so far on the surface, they have been there have been some demonic fights like when they were going into the deathguard attack.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, with the deathguard, I guess it was just the forces in there.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but the issue is that what's really going inside the Citadel, what Rex knows is there's legitimate demons just walking around in there, and that's not going to be ideal.
[SPEAKER_01]: So Kagori goes, yeah, or have at it and leaves, which is probably great for him, because it's like, look, this isn't going to go well.
[SPEAKER_01]: No.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, around the same time, everything on Vrax is getting weird.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like the storm.
[SPEAKER_01]: I love the intense.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love that you put weird here.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're like, yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're under selling it so low.
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
[SPEAKER_01]: I do like, because they talk about, and this is the order that they write it in the book.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like things are getting weird.
[SPEAKER_01]: So the storms getting more intense.
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I love in the Midwest now.
[SPEAKER_02]: That has to describe this.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is just wild lightning stirms demolishing stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not like, ooh, it was rainy.
[SPEAKER_01]: I've been in monsoon season, I've been through a monsoon.
[SPEAKER_01]: The next one's big.
[SPEAKER_01]: The dead start rising up.
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, we're going to call that one big.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's probably important.
[SPEAKER_01]: But I like the last one.
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a second son.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Also seems bigger than all of those.
[SPEAKER_02]: Also, that's not really say weird.
[SPEAKER_01]: I would say, oh,
[SPEAKER_01]: What's happening?
[SPEAKER_01]: So, in Quisitor Rex though, had a plan and it was quite shiny.
[SPEAKER_01]: He brought the great nights with him and the red hunters.
[SPEAKER_01]: So, he brought all of the assorties who were meant to do this stuff.
[SPEAKER_01]: And he also though before he went there wasn't done.
[SPEAKER_01]: He knew there was a problem.
[SPEAKER_01]: So, he'd sent out another note to basically a bunch of people saying, hey, Dark Angels and Red Scorpion.
[SPEAKER_01]: This guy's went, yes, we take a round two at this.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is still my favorite part of this because he sends a doughnut with the, I'm not mad, but it's, I always find it a little, I find it a little odd that you would leave when the fighting wasn't done.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not even mad about it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just,
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh you see you took it that way.
[SPEAKER_01]: I took it more as like I thought you guys weren't a bunch of posties and wanted to finish the fight.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's more to know.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's more what you wrote.
[SPEAKER_01]: Was it was like, oh, I didn't realize that the dark angels were just where we saw them.
[SPEAKER_01]: It is where they all want to fight.
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought you were shaving.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, like hey, man.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if like maybe your scanners were off, but there was a crap ton of fighting still happening when you left.
[SPEAKER_02]: I just assume that maybe you pulled a hammer yourself in.
[SPEAKER_01]: It could be for him.
[SPEAKER_01]: He says that.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, now on Vrax, though, that he gets there.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's got to do something.
[SPEAKER_01]: And first thing he does is he shifts all the command to inquisitors.
[SPEAKER_02]: He brought 38 inquisitors, which is a bananas amount of inquisitors.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's still many inquisitors, by the way.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I actually can't fit that many in my, and what's, what is the army?
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not allowed to, you will let me run anymore.
[SPEAKER_01]: The Fantastic is also technically a legal run 38, but anyway, but he brings 38 of them and this is actually by the way a good thing This is not one of these things.
[SPEAKER_01]: We talked about the inquisition.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's always like, oh, they did this thing You know, I mean, he'd be like, oh, is that a mean thing?
[SPEAKER_01]: No, this is smart because he's about to go engage Pretty heavily with the forces of chaos.
[SPEAKER_01]: The creed don't know anything about this
[SPEAKER_01]: So you might as well have the person leading it, Decide of an expert in that.
[SPEAKER_01]: So now all of the creed companies are being led by an inquisitor.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is really smart.
[SPEAKER_01]: This increasingly rods a victory.
[SPEAKER_01]: The second thing he does is he looks at and goes, so we've got to settle surrounded, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, check.
[SPEAKER_01]: right, but if I look over to the right a little bit, what's going on over there?
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, that's just a roaming section of chaos titans and neural war bands.
[SPEAKER_01]: And they're just behind us.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Also, there's a full should garden of neural.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's just behind.
[SPEAKER_01]: So we're going to attack and just behind us is all that.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: What can happen?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, no, that's that's a no.
[SPEAKER_01]: So he decides to just go before we do the Citadel thing, we're gonna go do the that thing and make some new plan.
[SPEAKER_01]: And the plan of course involves artillery.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, the little problem with this plan, it starts off like all artillery plans, because again, this whole thing's world war one.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're gonna have this great creeping bombardment.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're gonna, we're gonna bomb the hell out of the circle.
[SPEAKER_01]: And we're going to sneak up behind to them and we're a commit to them.
[SPEAKER_01]: And the Nurgle, they bombard Nurgle and Nurgle goes, ah, cool, they bombard back with poison.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, also, Nurgle poison grows, well, well, the poison every that was on the planet that Nurgle then enhanced.
[SPEAKER_01]: So it was not ideal.
[SPEAKER_01]: So this whole plan of we're going to bomb them and then we're going to charge into them kind of falls apart because, you know, they can't its poison.
[SPEAKER_01]: a creek throw on creek mass.
[SPEAKER_02]: It wasn't even poison.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was poison with acid effectively.
[SPEAKER_02]: You couldn't get through it.
[SPEAKER_02]: You just went, oh, the infantry just died when they moved into it.
[SPEAKER_01]: But what I did like is they then go, all right, bring the armor.
[SPEAKER_01]: So they bring in the tanks and they start going in.
[SPEAKER_01]: And as they get in, they discover that just for shits and giggles,
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, like both sides, by the way, the Cree were now driving over former Cree with their tanks, and so there are tens or hundreds of thousands of zombies.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're just having to go through.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's point in time.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: So followed by plague Marines, followed by beasts of
[SPEAKER_01]: And there's a whole, like, multiple paragraphs in the book about the deathwriters of Craig being helpful here.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm like a talk about that because I hate horses.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what?
[SPEAKER_01]: I level will talk about that.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's you don't want the forces turn the tide and started to harass the positions of the Nurgle forces and made it so that they didn't get surrounded.
[SPEAKER_01]: They just aren't Mercedes.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was covered in poison.
[SPEAKER_01]: That was us.
[SPEAKER_01]: And somehow what of course is ran too fast.
[SPEAKER_01]: I've just said I knew he said it but the book said high host silver away.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to the poison won't be an issue this time.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, the bull style.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, so free.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're.
[SPEAKER_02]: victorious and vital to this operation, John.
[SPEAKER_01]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, they worked.
[SPEAKER_01]: They ran a sketch.
[SPEAKER_01]: They wrote a scabby pharynx.
[SPEAKER_01]: The great unclean one.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean scabby basically had something to say about it.
[SPEAKER_02]: But he saw something.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that was it.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was going great till scabby pharynx showed up and was giggling at them.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, he was also giggling at the tanks because he was soccer tossing tanks and they was for sure.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he was dropping tanks into tanks.
[SPEAKER_01]: Which was awesome.
[SPEAKER_01]: But then the great nights took a fence to that and decided to show up and go, yeah, no.
[SPEAKER_01]: And the great nights just warped in around Scabby, Therax, and while he was giggling away, they just vanished into the warp and were like, nah.
[SPEAKER_01]: but I grabbed the cream and like now go keep killing demons back at it.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was very enjoyable moment.
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, the Quisitor Rex though, this is successful.
[SPEAKER_01]: He now has effectively controlled everything on the planet except for the Citadel.
[SPEAKER_01]: And this kind of looked good from the outside.
[SPEAKER_01]: Meanwhile, because we're going to do the Transformers hard cut to the inside, something kind of fun has occurred on the inside.
[SPEAKER_01]: This means chaos being cast and fighting, this is a fun one.
[SPEAKER_01]: So on the inside, you've got a bunch of different chaos war bands and some of them are corn war bands.
[SPEAKER_01]: And this is written before we ever had anger on this is written before anger and had come back and re-unified the world leaders.
[SPEAKER_01]: So this is a really cool time for corn.
[SPEAKER_01]: So for people who played back in this edition, you would add like corn warbands to your chaos forces.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the way it worked in this era.
[SPEAKER_01]: So this is,
[SPEAKER_01]: This makes more sense if you think about it from that perspective of it wouldn't be like, oh, the roll-dears are there.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're kind of where no-world-eaters at this stage in the lore.
[SPEAKER_01]: In effect, like they existed, but it was all war bands, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: So one of the war bands here of Corn was led by a guy named Lord Zufour.
[SPEAKER_01]: And Zufour came to Brax to slaughter and to kill.
[SPEAKER_01]: And
[SPEAKER_01]: with the forces surrounded, you know, in the sadel, a lot of the war bands were like piecing out and running away.
[SPEAKER_01]: Zufour didn't think that was cool.
[SPEAKER_01]: So he does with any Lord of Corn would do.
[SPEAKER_01]: He starts challenging all the chaos lords one by one to a fight.
[SPEAKER_01]: And he started with it.
[SPEAKER_02]: He put on, I can only imagine we're bedazzled boots of mighty ass kicking because he's yeah, thunder don't make me
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, the first way goes to is the head of the berserkers, whose name's Scala Thrax and beats the piss at him and then goes, all right, then he goes over to another one and tells them, actually, that one he didn't conquer, he tells them, hey, cool, if you guys join me, I'll help you summon a blood therster and they were like, all right, we'll join you.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: But what I like about Zufor, Zufor, he's clever.
[SPEAKER_01]: First thing he does is he unifies every single corn ore band behind him, and then he goes to the non-corn ore bands and goes, so here's the deal.
[SPEAKER_01]: All of the corn ore bands are behind me, and we are all currently sitting in an enclosed space.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, I've got some ideas on how things should go around here.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think you should be on listen to zoo 14.
[SPEAKER_01]: You don't have to, but again, in closed space and all of the corn war bands are with me.
[SPEAKER_02]: One person didn't bend the knee though, and it cracks me up on it because the Alpha Legion and Arcos, he was like, yeah, well, I'm not gonna do it, you say, but I'm gonna do what Alpha Legion does and have an overly complicated plot.
[SPEAKER_02]: They don't have to weave it so well.
[SPEAKER_01]: Zufar goes to Arcos and goes, you know the deal, it's, you know, chainax or bend the knee.
[SPEAKER_01]: And Arcos goes options three.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: And Zufar goes on listening.
[SPEAKER_01]: You really want to kill that Zafan guy, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: And Zufra goes, I do, I do want to kill him.
[SPEAKER_01]: That would make me really happy.
[SPEAKER_01]: And our coast goes cool.
[SPEAKER_01]: You can't get in there.
[SPEAKER_01]: His doors are very locked and they'll take you while.
[SPEAKER_01]: But they'll let me in.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'll make you a deal.
[SPEAKER_01]: You, I don't bend the knee.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't chop my head off.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I kind of just go and leave and do whatever I want to do.
[SPEAKER_01]: Alan Locke the door and let you go do it if you want to say a fan.
[SPEAKER_01]: And zoo four goes.
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, deal.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love the knock on the door.
[SPEAKER_02]: Who is it?
[SPEAKER_02]: Definitely not a guy wanting to let a bunch of besirkers inside here.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, cool, as long as it's not that, come on in.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, opens the door.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, actually, not only that, they open the door and as the door opens a bunch of the alpha legion who were inside, killed a bunch of the bodyguard, too, because that's what alpha legion would do.
[SPEAKER_01]: Of course, as zoo forwards comes barely in, he doesn't kill Zayfan though.
[SPEAKER_01]: He just takes him prisoner because he tells Zayfan, you're the last person I'm gonna kill.
[SPEAKER_01]: That was actually his worst Tuesday fan and puts him in a dungeon, but he does track down Maman and crushes his skull with his head.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, so, by the way, he deserved it.
[SPEAKER_02]: That guy was, he's basically worm tongue.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's fine.
[SPEAKER_01]: He just sucks.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now we jump back to the outside.
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll be right back after a quick break.
[SPEAKER_01]: Back on the outside and Quisitor Rex is ready to go.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, final assault.
[SPEAKER_01]: Cabbage once we're going to take a while.
[SPEAKER_01]: So we're going to, I'm going to capture this signal.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I've got this really aggressive plan.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to bombard it with enough artillery that it just overloads the void shields.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're not going to complicate at this point.
[SPEAKER_01]: The issues that the only go down for a little bit.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then so once they go in, you have to kind of run in, obviously with the creek, land strike.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then some drop pods with red hunters.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then we're going to find the generators and blow them up.
[SPEAKER_01]: The problem, though, is just as he's about to do this, he gets him very funny.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't tell a gram.
[SPEAKER_01]: He gets probably not the singing kind.
[SPEAKER_01]: He gets my tape is what it gets.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, no, it's great.
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, he gets it.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, do we get more of your accuracy, uh, put it here?
[SPEAKER_01]: It's worse than bureaucracy, it's actually kind of funny.
[SPEAKER_01]: So what he gets is he gets a note.
[SPEAKER_01]: And the note says the 88 C. Jeremy is to withdraw from the front line.
[SPEAKER_01]: Dozens of the regiments are being transported off-world to other sectors, because the war on Vrax is going so well that they don't need such a large force there.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a small force could take care of all of this.
[SPEAKER_01]: and it was direct to us what this is.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is the other ordo's just screw them.
[SPEAKER_01]: They didn't want him to get the glory of this success.
[SPEAKER_01]: So they decided to hamper him massively.
[SPEAKER_01]: So even if he does succeed, basically they do what either make him fail, then they'll take over and win or put somebody else or make it, yeah, or make it so if he does succeed, it's almost a purest level of victory so it doesn't get any actual glory for it.
[SPEAKER_01]: And to his credit, Rex does try and like he actually petitions the lords of terror himself, and the of that fails.
[SPEAKER_01]: Not only is it fail, but actually his MS series that he sends the lords of terror after petitioner there, all get assassinated.
[SPEAKER_01]: So he realizes pretty quickly.
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, I gotta do this the hard way.
[SPEAKER_01]: But
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, enemies still surrounded.
[SPEAKER_01]: I still do have the last 13 year and the great, yeah, and the great nights and a good amount of creep.
[SPEAKER_01]: He was able to keep a good chunk of the creek, but not all of it.
[SPEAKER_01]: The problem though is that this whole plan he had to blow up the void shield, go into all this stuff is the Citadel was surrounded by a bunch of like natural, like kind of gullies and ravines, which makes a ton of kilzones everywhere.
[SPEAKER_01]: In fact, it said that some of the ravines are so high, you actually couldn't go in there with armor, you had to go in on foot.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know what it is?
[SPEAKER_02]: It looks like the fortress of the Thundercats.
[SPEAKER_01]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_01]: It actually doesn't look like a Thundercats.
[SPEAKER_01]: That is an oppressing part.
[SPEAKER_01]: You look at it, you go really way to go.
[SPEAKER_01]: For companies so litigious on IP violation, just saying.
[SPEAKER_02]: Just I thought I saw Lionel peeking out of a window.
[SPEAKER_01]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's so I can go.
[SPEAKER_01]: What was the thunder cat who was the engineer?
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll never remember that.
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's herald.
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
[SPEAKER_01]: Pantera was it?
[SPEAKER_01]: It's the people.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's then lucky they're older than me.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is how you can remember this crap.
[SPEAKER_01]: Thunder, Thunder cats.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, there was not a good cartoon.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was fantastic.
[SPEAKER_01]: But it was not.
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, but they decide to still go through original plan.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're just going to overwhelm them.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to hit them with everything because under Rex's idea was, these guys probably don't have much left in them.
[SPEAKER_01]: We've whittled them down.
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll just overwhelm them.
[SPEAKER_01]: The defenses will fall.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's still chaos.
[SPEAKER_01]: They'll just, they'll do what chaos does.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, we also, what KS does a lot, especially if you're out of Legion, the plan for all of this, because remember your super fast lightning assault, well, you instead had to deal with random bureaucracy for a while, so you didn't do your super fast lightning assault, you talked about your super fast lightning assault for a while.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and so what happens is they go and they try and do it.
[SPEAKER_01]: They bombard, they do all this stuff.
[SPEAKER_01]: The issue is the kill zones are just too extreme.
[SPEAKER_01]: As they push in, the all of the forces get bogged down, even the drop pod assault from the Red Hunters, they time it wrong, basically.
[SPEAKER_01]: The infantry are not able to get in position to support them.
[SPEAKER_01]: So they just drop in,
[SPEAKER_01]: with no support and much of alpha legion, in this case, looking down at them going, well, that wasn't even hard heavy boulders and problem solved.
[SPEAKER_02]: So just a case after a week, hold on, just a case you're wondering, though, a ton of crazemen are dying here.
[SPEAKER_02]: Just the case you were like, hey, man, are we still just throwing crazemen into a wood?
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah, constantly never ready.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah, that's the whole time.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's happening.
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't worry about.
[SPEAKER_01]: So this goes on for a week, and after a week, Rex goes, all right, this is going to work.
[SPEAKER_01]: He pulls back, and then, all right, we're going to try this again.
[SPEAKER_01]: The next attempt he decides, maybe we do this more step by step.
[SPEAKER_01]: He decides to move from a breaching clear to more of a breach in the hole.
[SPEAKER_01]: How about we just kind of take pieces of it and work from there?
[SPEAKER_01]: And he decides we're going to target one of the main gates and I'm just going to bomb it until it doesn't exist anymore and then I'll use that rubble as a four to five position to stage the next assault through which by the way, doesn't make a lot of sense or whatever we're going to go with it and he decides to bring his titans into the fray this time because spoiler alert, the defenders don't have any titans also been done this in the first round is again, I was just going there like.
[SPEAKER_02]: Remember the time you had titans, you should have read about the time you're killing another million or so, Creexman, and then you bring the titans in.
[SPEAKER_02]: Someone had to go, I'm pretty loyal, man.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: So the first all I said, the first one brought the titans and was seen better.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, first of all, hey, infantry keep running at it endlessly after a week at and work.
[SPEAKER_01]: The second one, have all we just shoot at it with our big guns and then we move the Titans up and then when the enemy brings in armor, the Titans blow up the armor and then the infantry goes and holds the position.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and that's exactly what they did.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, success.
[SPEAKER_01]: So now they've got, now they've actually got the first little beach head of, okay, we got this.
[SPEAKER_01]: And at the same time, he gets a phone call.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's the Red Scorpions.
[SPEAKER_01]: They've been shamed into coming back.
[SPEAKER_01]: And they decide, all right, fine.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're back.
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll finish what we started.
[SPEAKER_01]: And they come in and tell them, all right, what are you just to do?
[SPEAKER_01]: And...
[SPEAKER_01]: Rex says, I got a great idea for you.
[SPEAKER_01]: We need you to do a bunch of lightning assaults all over the place, because the problem is that the defenders are too quick for us.
[SPEAKER_01]: Effectively, the Rex's forces are creak, so they're still human speed.
[SPEAKER_01]: The defenders are demons and chaos Marines.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're just too quick.
[SPEAKER_01]: So wherever he gets in,
[SPEAKER_01]: The, like, the visit of counter attack comes in too quick too fast.
[SPEAKER_01]: So he wants to have the red scorpions help him do something where they can take something and then move at space marine speed.
[SPEAKER_01]: This way, they can actually hold it.
[SPEAKER_01]: But he needs to spread them out a little bit.
[SPEAKER_01]: So the red scorpions are going to come in elsewhere.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're coming from the east and the south with some support from the creek is we're always going to sacrifice Creek.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: We have to give it so many props on this because this is like Crenes 80s action movies for style and how they roll in.
[SPEAKER_01]: And this is the most space marini stupid, but awesome.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was so awesome.
[SPEAKER_01]: It is awesome and dumb at the exact same time.
[SPEAKER_01]: So we'll talk about what they do, and I'll shit on it in a second.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a red scorpion.
[SPEAKER_02]: You could shit on it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm talking about what they do.
[SPEAKER_02]: A bunch of Vanguard Vets would jump back assaults, jump out of a thunderhog, which is basically moving at max speed, and I'm assuming
[SPEAKER_02]: kick somebody while they were flying out of it and did a pose like shot somebody while punching another guy and it was fantastic.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the gates have guns on them, by the way.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, oh, look, the guy's the guy's jumping out of the ship.
[SPEAKER_02]: Nice thing, oh, it's out there.
[SPEAKER_01]: Didn't like the plot and the expendables, because this is exact.
[SPEAKER_01]: Didn't, then movie was terrible.
[SPEAKER_01]: Holy God, actually.
[SPEAKER_01]: Here's the thing, here's how much in like the plot of the expendables.
[SPEAKER_01]: I saw it was coming out and went, yeah, and I'm not even going to watch that.
[SPEAKER_01]: I knew better.
[SPEAKER_01]: Commander, that was good.
[SPEAKER_01]: Those movies are terrible.
[SPEAKER_01]: Stallone jumped out of a thunderhole.
[SPEAKER_01]: Look, I'm just gonna say it.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't like really any still on movies with accepts of demolition man.
[SPEAKER_01]: And only the non-fighting parts of it, the whole three shells, like, and Taco Bell, Taco, no Rocky's terrible.
[SPEAKER_01]: Taco Bell, wearing, hit the fraco can.
[SPEAKER_01]: Look, the entire, the best part of demolition, man, is the whole thing where Taco Bell wins the fast food worse.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the whole thing.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's the entire element.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's the only element of, the most meant, I like the rest of it's garbage.
[SPEAKER_01]: The three shells thing, I still do that to friends like over my house.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll hide the toilet paper and put three shells in the bathroom.
[SPEAKER_01]: To this day, still funny.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, over the top, you turn the head on backwards.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but oh, God, he's still in sucks.
[SPEAKER_01]: Anyway, but they jump out of the airplane and land.
[SPEAKER_01]: But the same time at the other gate, they decide land radar party because this was also an error.
[SPEAKER_01]: But land readers were still halfway good in the game.
[SPEAKER_01]: And just drive landers and rhinos straight at it and go, all right, how many guns you got, not enough.
[SPEAKER_01]: And just
[SPEAKER_01]: pin the defenders between these two assaults.
[SPEAKER_01]: And while they're doing this, Rex is elsewhere, by the way, leading from the front, he and the creague, the red hunters, and the grainites hit the main gate.
[SPEAKER_01]: And this fight is awesome.
[SPEAKER_01]: They hit the main gate.
[SPEAKER_01]: So the
[SPEAKER_01]: Red scorpions are elsewhere, they're drawn the forces, they're jumping out of airplanes, they're using this stuff.
[SPEAKER_01]: The main gates a lot fought you, because they basically get to it, they blow it open, a bunch of Cree grunts run through, and the gate opens, and demons of corn come pouring out the other side.
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's all swaddled letters.
[SPEAKER_01]: flesh hounds by favorite one is possessed and yes, they've been brass scorpions come out and I just love the imagery of a bunch of creaks man running in and you know they don't run out it just it just a bunch of blood and a brass scorpion coming through.
[SPEAKER_01]: But the, at which point the great night, it's just kind of like do shoulders shrug and go, all right, and just wander into the demons and just, you do, you have to ask yourself, hit the brass scorpion pauses for a moment and goes, seriously, dude, stop hitting me with a shovel.
[SPEAKER_02]: What is even happening right now?
[SPEAKER_01]: Why are you doing this?
[SPEAKER_01]: This is, they, do I still get points for killing you when it's this easy?
[UNKNOWN]: Look.
[SPEAKER_01]: But hi, what happens next is tough for me.
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, while this is, this fight, the main gate is going on.
[SPEAKER_01]: All these demons of corner going.
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a reason, all these demons of corner there.
[SPEAKER_01]: A meteor lands in the middle of it.
[SPEAKER_01]: And by meteor, it's not a meteor.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a blood therster named Anger F. This pause on this, this model is so awesome.
[SPEAKER_02]: It is amazing.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, it's an amazing model.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, also costed 888 points.
[SPEAKER_01]: They did all those.
[SPEAKER_02]: Scabby was 777.
[SPEAKER_02]: He was 880 years.
[SPEAKER_02]: He was awesome.
[SPEAKER_02]: Also one of the first demons damn, a two-up save.
[SPEAKER_01]: Angraath lands.
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll see this is picks up a tank and throws it at the Grey Nights.
[SPEAKER_01]: He then, like, he cuts another land raider in half with his sword and starts just ripping Grey Nights apart.
[SPEAKER_01]: Just shredding everything.
[SPEAKER_01]: Because this is an error.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't forget.
[SPEAKER_01]: Blood Thursters in the lore are like terminators in the lore, their badass.
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's just investing the number one heavyweight champ of Blood Thursters.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's just going.
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's wrecking the shop to the point where he's actually basically killing all of the grain nights until he gets to our two, who's like, think the better, better captain, our two's runs forward to meet him.
[SPEAKER_01]: And Angrath is just throwing everything he has at him.
[SPEAKER_01]: And our two says blocking it.
[SPEAKER_01]: And he uses his psychic powers to reduce
[SPEAKER_01]: That's, so Brother Captain Artu's no longer exists because Angrath got angry yet, Artu's trying to use psychic powers on him, which is accurate for demons of corn.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, they're also used to have, remember the, even in the game, the greenites had abilities to lessen the power of demons.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but unfortunately, yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Unfortunately, though, that whole thing I set up blood versus the Lord being cold, they also sometimes become super uncool and lame, and that's what's going to happen right now.
[SPEAKER_01]: After a blood therster kills a bunch of great nights, rips apart with its hands, a few tanks, inquisitor wrecks in his power armor squares up on it, and wrecks
[SPEAKER_01]: And he severes the bloodthirsty's collection of the warp.
[SPEAKER_02]: He should end staffs one into another dimension.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it does the whole.
[SPEAKER_01]: He stabs him in the chest while the bloodthirsty's a backhanding him.
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, banishes angrieth backdoor.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not even honoring this whole fight with the story because it's just so stupid.
[SPEAKER_01]: it's so annoying.
[SPEAKER_01]: It says, because the thing about inquisitive is that inquisitive yes, they are very, very, very, secondly powerful.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're wearing power armor.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a psychically powered sister of battle.
[SPEAKER_01]: And the brother captain of the greenites just got wrecked by this thing.
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's like, I got it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Because my sword is special.
[SPEAKER_01]: Shut up.
[SPEAKER_01]: Anyway.
[SPEAKER_01]: It just is what it's all right, but good news is the Survelle is breached because the demon is banished the battle is all but one So now who's gonna show up?
[SPEAKER_01]: The Dark Angels, it's time at the very end of the party, basically.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, there's just this absolute show now.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, it's still a Dark Angels because it's fun.
[SPEAKER_01]: It is, it's because the Dark Angels were on Cadia at this point.
[SPEAKER_01]: So the Dark Angels got the message.
[SPEAKER_01]: They were on Cadia going like, yeah, we really can't leave this place, guys.
[SPEAKER_01]: But we'll send the Angels of Absolution.
[SPEAKER_01]: which, and they mostly, but they had a condition.
[SPEAKER_01]: And the condition was we still want that Lord Arco's guy, and we're taking him back to the rock for interrogation.
[SPEAKER_01]: Hold on, we'll share all the, all the, they promised the equation.
[SPEAKER_01]: We will share all of our information together.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, bullshit, bullshit, and this was a non-negotiable thing.
[SPEAKER_01]: So Rex debates it and goes, well, look, I kind of wanted this too, but you are space marines, fine, go ahead.
[SPEAKER_01]: And the angels of absolution brought the heat to go.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, they turned this final salt to an 11, because the signal has no void shield anymore.
[SPEAKER_01]: So it couldn't stop a bombardment.
[SPEAKER_01]: or a drop pot of salt, but what it had inside of it was just night, but this, this needed a warp risk to just have.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a full on more than a portal.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is not a portal.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is a full on, you have a brick in reality.
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll eat this next thing to people who maybe don't understand.
[SPEAKER_01]: Demons can't walk around the material without a connection to the work, unless you build something really significant.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what happened inside the CDL.
[SPEAKER_01]: So normally, when a demon is kind of present, it's not present for very long.
[SPEAKER_01]: It has to have either a ritual or something holding it there.
[SPEAKER_02]: You have to kill it.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just killing for corn, tons of play, excellence for a miracle, unbelievable sensations
[SPEAKER_01]: Right, but this one was so extreme that there's wandering around fully connected or you're effectively in the warp when you were inside the self is not really walking right there.
[SPEAKER_02]: You'll bother.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and they're full powered to so this is not an ideal spot.
[SPEAKER_01]: This final assault is going to be tough.
[SPEAKER_01]: themes of absolution were like, yeah, we really don't care.
[SPEAKER_01]: And they decide to just go, all right, we're coming in hot.
[SPEAKER_01]: At the same time, Haiti's breaching drills came in from the bottom to come in the other way, bringing regular and regular infantry and armor columns are coming in from elsewhere, land raiders.
[SPEAKER_01]: They decide basically on one, two, three go lethal weapons
[SPEAKER_01]: to them, from above, from below and from the sides.
[SPEAKER_01]: But I want to start with the Angels of Absolution, because it is hilarious.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's also the Dark Angels come across pretty badass this one.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, this is great.
[SPEAKER_01]: So they come in there to grab the Alpha Legion.
[SPEAKER_01]: Because remember last time they were there, Lord Arcos surprised Asriel and almost killed him, except the
[SPEAKER_01]: Guess who's back and that's who came with the absolute solution also.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's fairly motivated to yeah, he's in a bit of a mood.
[SPEAKER_01]: So he came there to basically just get Lord Arcos.
[SPEAKER_01]: And we learned something.
[SPEAKER_01]: It turns out that when you take Acrosius to the face followed by the top of your skull,
[SPEAKER_01]: it's not ideal.
[SPEAKER_01]: And learn our coasts.
[SPEAKER_02]: My favorite didn't do well.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is not the main event that you wanted because this fight was over so fast.
[SPEAKER_02]: He showed up and we're like, hey, it's Arcos.
[SPEAKER_02]: Bam, bam, done.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're like, man, we paid for this.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, I think it's like two sentences in the entire thing of like he walks.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think in order to go sin.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah Lord, of course, I think he may have killed a different guy in Belfare's ones.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're going to Crosiest Crosiest and then turns the medic and says don't let him die work.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to interrogate him And then meanwhile the rest of the evil of absence are doing the same thing of like non-mortally wounding a bunch of Alpha Legion guys and then they grab them and bail mean while in orbit
[SPEAKER_01]: Remember that giant battleship that was there a lot from last time, the anarchy saw it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the anos of absolution, I guess, knew it was connected to alpha lesion, and they thought that wasn't cool.
[SPEAKER_01]: So while all of us is going on in the surface, they decided to go hunt that thing down too, because they knew Lord Arcos would try to use it to escape.
[SPEAKER_01]: So they brought with them their own battleship called the Libertory, Delictium, which sounds like a dessert.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if the public can use it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: And this time they decide to use the chaos and ability to use scanners.
[SPEAKER_01]: Because that is just the theme of all space battles in all of 40k scanners don't work.
[SPEAKER_01]: They put a bunch of scouting craft out.
[SPEAKER_01]: This starts searching for the Anarchy's heart.
[SPEAKER_02]: And apparently they use the old Mongol train of, oh no, we're running away, because you guys are gonna cut us down.
[SPEAKER_02]: We led you into the main.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_01]: And the second the Anarchy's heart powers up the Deliction goes flank speed into it.
[SPEAKER_01]: And again, much like the battle between Belfagore and Lord Arcos, it's not a long battle.
[SPEAKER_01]: The Deliction just goes cool.
[SPEAKER_01]: All guns fire and blows the thing to smithering.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I did like it on the surface, the whole goal of the eels of absolution was to collect as many prisoners as possible for interrogation.
[SPEAKER_01]: This was not the case in orbit.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was blow this thing up, make sure it never exists again.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: So the anarchist heart ceases to exist.
[SPEAKER_01]: And now the evil of absolute should go, all right.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're done now.
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't worry.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're totally going to send you the tape of the recording any day now.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's coming.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just, it's, oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Mike, you didn't get my email.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's attachment.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's in the mail.
[SPEAKER_01]: A swear.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Check with UPS.
[SPEAKER_01]: The tracking numbers.
[SPEAKER_01]: One, two, three.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: And another part of this said, though, the one I like a lot more is the creek because of course, it's the creek, boss through the floor.
[SPEAKER_01]: So they brought hate easterls, which is something we used to all have in the game.
[SPEAKER_01]: They were super fun.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a transport that you could actually drill through the ground deep strike with and they were fun.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, they weren't as good as, um, but was it what's the space brain drill that I still have like two of Alan has like 11 of them, uh, and he said 11 of everything.
[SPEAKER_01]: I know those things were great.
[SPEAKER_01]: By the way, the hate is pretty show still cool.
[SPEAKER_01]: But the thing with the Citadel is like most Imperial fortresses, the majority of it actually sits below ground.
[SPEAKER_01]: So rather than then go in from the top and try to fight your way down where it's defended, they were like, we'll just go into the bottom because also that's where the power is the place and the controls the shield set.
[SPEAKER_02]: Except for the fact that it's full on event horizon, it is the world down there.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's the best part.
[SPEAKER_01]: So the Cree tunnel in, come popping out.
[SPEAKER_01]: There are no defenses down here, by the way.
[SPEAKER_01]: There's no fortified positions, there's no troops, there's no pill boxes, there's just demons everywhere.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the Creeg, get out, look around, just endless demons and go, all right, shovel and grenade time, and just begin to work in their way through it going, no, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, Creeg style.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I couldn't have been happier.
[SPEAKER_01]: because it's creak, it's just creak doing creak things of, oh, I've emerged into a realm of nightmares.
[SPEAKER_01]: Nah, whatever.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, like, cool, I, no big deal.
[SPEAKER_01]: I was, this is, I didn't even notice actually.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, what day is it Wednesday?
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, so I guess that's what Wednesday is.
[SPEAKER_01]: Next, hellsware, you have the zoo for.
[SPEAKER_01]: Zoo for is losing his mind.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love everything about this though.
[SPEAKER_02]: big he wants to wreck people and obviously losing is not on the table for him.
[SPEAKER_02]: And corn's bad because blood's being exploded, but he's not real big on the loss.
[SPEAKER_02]: Zufour says, well, I could just rock out, you know, and get out of here through this portal.
[SPEAKER_02]: However, he does the, I'm going to make a really current reference.
[SPEAKER_02]: So just like any heat with Robert
[SPEAKER_02]: Wow, but he can laugh, but instead he's like, I got something I want to do, which is have a quick talk to Z-Fad with.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know that's totally spot-odd with what happened here.
[SPEAKER_02]: Come on, give me my heat mojo.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a 20 years ago.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's probably more.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's significantly more, I think.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh God, it was heat in the 90s.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_00]: Might have been, how good could it go?
[SPEAKER_01]: 19.95.
[SPEAKER_01]: I only reference curried movie.
[SPEAKER_01]: 30, 31 years Brad.
[SPEAKER_01]: 31 years.
[SPEAKER_01]: Good job.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I didn't mean to do that.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I didn't mean to spoil heat for anybody.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yes, sorry.
[SPEAKER_01]: Sort of spoiler alert, spoiler alert.
[SPEAKER_01]: Ah, I think I'm back and edit that.
[SPEAKER_01]: Anyway, so zoo four goes and grabs Zayfan and just basically drags him into the dungeon was a bunch of sorcerers of knurgle, just doing whatever and throws him into the middle of them who all look at him and go cool and they convert him into a chaos spot.
[SPEAKER_01]: ultimate fish just in time for the great nights to show up and the great nights do what they do to the chaos spawn.
[SPEAKER_01]: They kill it and banish it into the warp.
[SPEAKER_01]: Meaning Zayfan doesn't die.
[SPEAKER_01]: Zayfan gets converted to Ace's K. Ash's odd tormenting you forever.
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, and goes to the warp to be tormented for all eternity.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, anyway, zoo for also runs away and gets back to the warp.
[SPEAKER_01]: With this, the forces of, in question, Rex just pour through the city out.
[SPEAKER_01]: They are going to kill everything.
[SPEAKER_01]: But one more thing happens, which is just classic horrible 40K.
[SPEAKER_01]: they come upon a very weird find.
[SPEAKER_01]: There are six prisoners that they find that are just super messed up.
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's the sisters of the origins shroud that Zeth and in present.
[SPEAKER_01]: But it's been years early.
[SPEAKER_02]: Set it up though.
[SPEAKER_02]: The sisters of the origins shroud gives sisters credit have been being tormented by the forces of chaos actually been thrown into hell.
[SPEAKER_01]: They are effectively living in hell for at least 12 of the 18 years they've been.
[SPEAKER_02]: fighting with the power of the emperor, subsiding them.
[SPEAKER_02]: And you think, man, is he, is it Chris?
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, he had to like, he's going to say, oh, God, he's had to rest going to say, you're the power of the emperor.
[SPEAKER_01]: Hold on.
[SPEAKER_01]: hold up.
[SPEAKER_01]: They are pretty messed up.
[SPEAKER_01]: They are blind.
[SPEAKER_01]: They are crazy.
[SPEAKER_01]: They cannot recognize anything.
[SPEAKER_01]: They can barely speak.
[SPEAKER_01]: So they are, like you said, they're holding up.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're like, oh, hey, guys, nice to see you.
[SPEAKER_01]: We've, you know, we've been barely holding out.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're just non-bullying all styles of nothing.
[SPEAKER_01]: Possessed by gas.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that's a pretty...
[SPEAKER_01]: There is that.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, because their faith did save them, but not from the inquisition.
[SPEAKER_02]: Also, does he put them out of the misery?
[SPEAKER_02]: Does he go?
[SPEAKER_02]: I will give you a clean death for everything.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, no.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, like he captures them and transports them to an action prison.
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you interrogate them?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, by the way.
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's when I think
[SPEAKER_01]: With this in prison, I'm not making up a, oh, this kind of what John said, that's what it says in the book.
[SPEAKER_01]: He in prison, he takes them out of the one prison and puts them in the inquisition prison, so that quote, they can be interrogated so that they can figure out anything that they might know about the forces of chaos, maybe they'll kill them later.
[SPEAKER_01]: Who knows?
[SPEAKER_01]: Awesome.
[SPEAKER_01]: What a wonderful.
[SPEAKER_01]: galaxy.
[SPEAKER_01]: But the final one happens.
[SPEAKER_01]: The final siege happens when Rex and the Grey Knights enter the inner keep.
[SPEAKER_01]: And this is an issue because this inner keep is a work portal.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a full rift that you know, I mean.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: It just is a zoo for it is men.
[SPEAKER_01]: They had escaped.
[SPEAKER_01]: But while they went out.
[SPEAKER_01]: Hold on a bunch of chaos came in.
[SPEAKER_02]: Are you going to give his full name?
[SPEAKER_02]: Because I'm so excited for this one.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Of course, Arracca, Warfim, the Dean and Prince of Corn.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Arracca, Warfim.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think you meant to say Arracca as Baramanael.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, okay, fun.
[SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, I like the Dean and Prince of that.
[SPEAKER_02]: What do you mean?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'm not giving that 14-cylinder.
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to know.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we're good.
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's a funny, they come to a couple, little notes here.
[SPEAKER_01]: That are funny.
[SPEAKER_01]: Rex,
[SPEAKER_01]: basically says to everybody are everyone who's not a gray knight kind of screw off.
[SPEAKER_01]: We have to destroy this portal because this portal will always create a link between the immaterial and the material.
[SPEAKER_01]: And if we don't close it, this world will always be at risk for chaos accessing the world.
[SPEAKER_01]: This world 100% sits within the rift today.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just the fall of Katie 100% this world is in the war right now.
[SPEAKER_01]: By the way, whatever, deep in the world.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, a dead center too, like move bad, but not important.
[SPEAKER_01]: So he only brings the great nights if they do the whole like actually kick in the door and there's this demon prince there with a bunch of pieces of corn and the following story just sucks so It's the gw fun.
[SPEAKER_01]: All right Captain Stern is there.
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's just a gw fight.
[SPEAKER_01]: blah, blah, blah, stern and the demon print start fighting, blah, blah, it's even, blah, blah, the demon prints gets the upper hand, blah, blah, blah, demon prints is about to kill stern, blah, blah, blah, bunch of other great nights, see the interactive and intervene, blah, blah, as the demon prints is distracted, stern stabs it with his sword and demon prints gets eliminated.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just, it's one of the GW always does this and they're writing, we're like, oh, they're fighting.
[SPEAKER_01]: Is he going to win?
[SPEAKER_01]: No, he's going to lose.
[SPEAKER_01]: But the last second, his friends save him.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, the kind of part of this, those that I do like the fact that because the green lights have force weapons, which are specifically designed to fight things from the warp.
[SPEAKER_02]: And it does make sense that they sent everybody a win.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, not in 10th edition.
[SPEAKER_01]: They didn't, not in.
[SPEAKER_01]: There was a time where like for those who don't know when you plant a table top there was a time where if you play demons and you're playing a tournament like who are playing next great nights All right, well, I'm losing that one.
[SPEAKER_02]: So we're gonna get lunch because this is gonna be a quick game when you roll my leadership check after I hit you with that force weapon looks like your guy is gone
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this site.
[SPEAKER_01]: So what happened?
[SPEAKER_01]: No, that's scalp, banished you to the warp.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, cool.
[SPEAKER_01]: Cool.
[SPEAKER_01]: I've scabby Therax.
[SPEAKER_01]: Not anymore.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now you don't.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, not, now you don't.
[SPEAKER_01]: Get your arms out of here, man.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it was actually better.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a better era.
[SPEAKER_01]: But, all right.
[SPEAKER_01]: But with all this, the war on Vrax has ended.
[SPEAKER_01]: Inquisitor Vrax has armies they purge the surface of every last rebel, demon, heretic, everything.
[SPEAKER_01]: and this 12-year campaign has ended.
[SPEAKER_01]: It only took 18 years, which to be fair is not bad for an Imperium campaign.
[SPEAKER_01]: 18 years on a 12-year plan.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's we're going to call it not.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's not that far outside of the realm.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's what I'm getting at.
[SPEAKER_01]: But the question is, what do they do with the planet?
[SPEAKER_01]: This thing had been deemed too valuable for exterminators.
[SPEAKER_01]: But now it's the eight years of the weekend.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, to not be exerved by artists.
[SPEAKER_01]: And Chris directs looks around and just goes, this world is unsavable.
[SPEAKER_01]: In fact, the system is unsavable.
[SPEAKER_01]: His viewpoint is that the taint of chaos is so strong that even to colonize it is a risk.
[SPEAKER_01]: Basically what they should do with Armageddon but refuse to do.
[SPEAKER_01]: Tada is this thing.
[SPEAKER_01]: So they decide that everyone who fought there they get moved to other combat zones because this isn't by the way Like the first War of Armageddon where if you've seen a demon with the execute you, this is for far enough into the lore where it's like, oh, yeah, there's demons ever just we'll send them over there to fight more demons.
[SPEAKER_01]: Who cares?
[SPEAKER_01]: And Vrax just gets turned in they basically turn the whole system to almost eliciting post of like, all right, we still have a party.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, thank basically
[SPEAKER_01]: They have a listing post there.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to quarantine it, but also in case that demons pop up, we're going to do this.
[SPEAKER_01]: And that becomes the story of racks effectively.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's after 18 years of war for 18 years of conflict.
[SPEAKER_01]: They go, oh, yeah, we could just blown it up at the onset.
[SPEAKER_01]: At the very, the first time when Zayfang went, I'm having a rebellion, they could have just had one imperial cruiser come by like drop something off and then leave.
[SPEAKER_01]: And like, that's on issue.
[SPEAKER_01]: 10 million dead craigsman later.
[SPEAKER_01]: Here we are.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I like this story because it may seem anti-climactic, but that is kind of what 40 k is.
[SPEAKER_01]: It is a galaxy at war.
[SPEAKER_01]: And a lot of the war is kind of pointless.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is what you get it on.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's not saying at the beginning.
[SPEAKER_02]: We have all of this and you go, what did we accomplish in the end?
[SPEAKER_02]: Nothing.
[SPEAKER_02]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's get
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's a Vrax is really great because again, it's obviously a no-mage to World War I, but the idea is this piece of it's just massive conflict, tons of tons of bloodshed.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was completely avoidable and unnecessary.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we could have just bought that.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's Vrax.
[SPEAKER_01]: See you later.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: So with that, we're done with Vrax now.
[SPEAKER_01]: That was fun for me.
[SPEAKER_01]: And we're going to get stuff that Brad wants to talk about next week because Brad is a massive fan of child murder.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to go on to
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't negotiate me, John, don't negotiate me.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Fun story, we're going to cover Conrad Curse, who in our first like seven episodes, we refer to as Conrad Cruz and the things I can't even edit it out.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I still to this day get messersreable saying, hey, you guys know you missed pronounce his name, and I have to go, yeah, I do.
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's on the internet forever.
[SPEAKER_01]: Awesome.
[SPEAKER_02]: I always looked at that for about 30 some years.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm actually debating is doing our next episode just to a contract cruise from the whole time, but I don't know, they'll just cause the problems.
[SPEAKER_01]: And until we did that episode, I was calling him cruise for, okay, that's why I called him cruise because you called him cruise and I'm like, I'll just follow, I don't know, Brad reads the books more than I do.
[SPEAKER_01]: I figured you were right, turns out by the way, that was the episode where I learned to double check grad.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll be wrong.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll be wrong again.
[SPEAKER_02]: That is my guilty motto.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: So next week, we're going to cover Nightlord's finally.
[SPEAKER_01]: We were, I was going to do Iron Warriors, everybody, but I'm waiting when Iron Warriors because GW's dropping a lot of Iron Warriors stuff right now.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm building an Iron Warriors.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm pretty big into the 11th edition.
[SPEAKER_02]: Awesome.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'll see.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm building an Iron Warriors army.
[SPEAKER_01]: So since I'm building the Army, I'm going to wait a little bit more while I get that done.
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, until then, John Barcati, Brad Chester.
[SPEAKER_01]: This guy.
[SPEAKER_01]: See you guys next week.
[UNKNOWN]: Thank you.
