The irony is delicious and is played with in the Adeptus Mechanicus game. You have the supposed “humans” that look like robotic zombie nightmares, speaking in gibberish binary squaring off against the alien machines that speak perfect British English.
@@w415800 Dark Crusade even repeatedly refers to Necrons with phrases like "soulless automatons," even the game narrator himself calls them Godless or abominations or something iirc.
"Hey, ain't that the Vengeful Spirit? Horus's flagship?" "Yeah?" "The one vessel that wrought havoc upon countless battlefields for 10 millenia?" "Yeah?" "The ship that single-handedly destroyed thousands of fleets? Thousands of planets? " "Yeah!" "The sole reaper of a thousand billion souls! The bane of the Imperial Navy! " "YEAH!" "..." "Let's mug'em."
The cursed heretics couldn't break the Imperium's will. Even in the face of defeat, with deamons rampaging through their streets, the Emperor's forces kept on fighting, kept on pushing back to their limits and beyond. As the Blackstone Fortress descended through the sky, the Imperium kept on fighting, kept on shooting. The ship crashed, and the Imperium kept on killing heretics. The core exploded and bolter pistols kept on being emptied. The planet broke, exploded from the sacrifice of a greater heretical ship and yet mankind kept on fighting. The battle ended only because the explosion took the Imperial forces along the world. The planet broke before the guard did. Let it be known.
@@stephenbyrne2170 it means that the men and women of Cadia died defending their home world and their planet was shattered while their spirit remained unbroken.
1:13 - Abaddon: "Guys? Could you please STOP blinking the lights for 5 minutes!? There are broken glass everywhere and I tripped over some fucking statues 3 times already!"
can you imagine a type of Survival Game where you play the Forces of Cadia and see how long you can survive untill Cadia breaks? Would be a cool concept
If something like that exists, all players on the Cadian side won't give a shit much about their survivability since their end is pretty much pre-determined. The whole team would just LeeRoy Jenkins their way into combat and fuck every heretic right and left without care.
9:58 This was the moment i forgot that Cadia “fell” and actually thought Cadia had pulled it off. All true Cadians hearts beater faster when those pylons fired...
Phase 1: return to Cadia Phase 2: establish mining operations on the fragments of Cadia Phase 3: export mined metals to forge world to manufacture sentinels. Phase 4:CADIA STANDS!
@@omarsharapy1647 At 06:30 Cawl considers eliminating Creed, and estimates a better than 50:50 chance of achieving his objective. But Creed just gives him the time, which is unexpected given Cawl's earlier experiences with humans (hence the 37% chance of Creed agreeing). Loved it.
@@Tricanon 37% chance is if he executes and replaces Cadian High Command, not that Creed Agrees. would have been 100% chance of victory if he was able to replace Venesca Catalia with a more Ramming-happy admiral.
@@F14thunderhawk Ahh, so you see it as "chances of success of overall mission if action X is taken," rather than "chances of success of action X"? Makes sense. :)
Yeah, the thing with Chaos ships is that they are mostly built or are based on schematics the Imperium deemed ineffective or inefficient... wonder why 🤔

@@aymanelkadouri8235 I think it was more about "I shouldn't make a habit of doing it for free" sort of deal, since Necrons and Warp don't mix well. They don't mix at all.
Can you imagine a temporary human necron eldari alliance? Just fucking going in and murking the eye of terror, then hunting the nids for sport. Then going back to regular warfare for control of the galaxy.
That one time the Imperium found itself defending from a Chaos invasion some Necron technology built many millenias ago that was intended to fire at the Eldar Core worlds. Only for the Chaos to destroy the planet using a space station built by the Old Ones for their war against the Necrons. This battle was such a epic moment in 40k history.

@@comteraffayn8351 I'm not saying Sigismund was anything less then awesome, I'm just saying that Abaddon couldn't beat him without a handicap like old age, even then Sigismund managed to make Abaddon look like a punk.
@@CpActivity tenacity, the will to scream against the fading of the night. The belief in humanity being able to surmount the horrors of the unknown, no matter the odds. The will to fight until the last breath when you cannot surmount the unknown. Stuff like that
@@starsiegeRoks “We are born into this time and must bravely follow the path to the destined end. There is no other way. Our duty is to hold on to the lost position, without hope, without rescue, like that Roman soldier whose bones were found in front of a door in Pompeii, who, during the eruption of Vesuvius, died at his post because they forgot to relieve him. That is greatness. That is what it means to be a thoroughbred. The honorable end is the one thing that can not be taken from a man.” -Oswald spengler
It would be tricky to keep accurate to the setting while making a complete beginning to ending story, especially with the us military likely wanting to make the human soldiers be the good guys If up to me, I might have it be a story happening concurrently within the universe, like a ragtag group of protagonists off on some united quest to stop a portal to hell or whatever, and doesn’t pick a side on the “good guys”
If you are truly interested in this particular story from Warhammer 40k. There is a book written by Robert Rath. He has written other things set in Warhammer 40k. Also other books besides that. He is also the head writer for a RU-vid show. Called extra history. His writing has been attached to around 225 million viewed stuff. If you love Warhammer as much as it. Check his work out. You won't be disappointed.
Pretty sure abaddon has another Blackstone. At this point he'd lost so many battles and couldn't afford to lose one as big as this. Considering it ripped open the eye of terror, galaxy wide and split it in two...Id say that egg was worth squishing.
@@poilboiler a captain of a ship speaks with the emporers voice. she could have used a more sensible course of action and if the commisar had anything to say she could have him legally shot. dont make excuses for stupid.
11:24 The Vengeful Spirit is a powerful warship. It is the current flagship of the current Warmaster of Chaos, Abaddon the Despoiler. It was also the flagship of the traitor Primarch Horus during the Horus Heresy. BTW, I got first comment!
@@matofbelgica not really, just execute it right and it could span into a cinematic universe like marvel and be better cause not so much family friendly content
Those ships had torpedos. If we use real life as a comparison, tiny 300 ton Austro Hungarian u boats sank half a dozen British predreadnought battleships in WW1
@@nofunpolice6132 Then it's a good thing you're not a fleet commander in the 40k universe, you would lead you men to their death on your first mission lmao
it wasnt. Abbadon lost the Black Fleet, the ground war would follow in a matter of hours, and was literally one Admiral Catallia making the right call away from losing the Vengeful Spirit, and by extension his status as not being an expanding cloud of vapor.
Magos: Admiral! The enemy are peeling away! Admiral Catallia: No! You must be mistaken. Magos: Confirmed. They are moving towards the wreckage of the Blackstone Fortress. Admiral Catallia: What...what are they doing? (Realizes in horror what they are going to do with the Blackstone Fortress) Admiral Catallia: Vox Officer! Transmit a wideband message to all forces on Cadia. Tell them to evacuate the planet... NOW! "Thirteen times shall the Traitor King go forth. In the End Times the iron fortress shall be cast down. Its walls breached and its Gate forced open. Those that dwell beyond shall spill through it. The air shall burn and the ground shall melt, the Daemon shall lie down with the machine, brother shall slay brother with fire and sword. And the sky-wound shall pour its malice forth. The Eye shall stare unblinking at its prize, and the Traitor King shall cross the bridge of stars. He shall return to finish the Warmonger's red work, upon holy soil shall the fate of man be decided." - The Liber Malefact
The fact that the guards are still fighting while the planet is being broken apart just shows how brave they are even against all odds they are not backing down talk about fucking dedication to the cause damn
yeah kinda miss that, now they are mostly boring copies of tomb kings with cringy attempts at humour. It was better when they were an unyielding souless force of logic
I mean. They were always space tomb kings, they're not really much more space tomb kings now than they were before. They always had that same aesthetic. This just opens them up to having actual characters and shit.
During the 13th Black Crusade 15 spikyboys came out of warp. One gets rammed by ladypants, and a second breaks up after colliding with the Blackstone Fortress. The remaining 13 push the Fortress into Cadia.

Me neither, but of course their Own technologies are far advanced, and they've become more of a Cyborg than a Full robot, because Necron skins today are like the skin power armor suits of the Old necron race.
It's so funny how basic tactics like "Let's hold our ground, await for reinforcements and do a united assault against the millenia old space ship of Satan's Chosen" would either have you seen as a tactical genious or executed for cowardice in the Imperium
i mean hell after a few weeks Cadians poured out of underground bunkers and kicked the remaining chaos forces off the broken planet, even after the planet fell, it still belonged to the Imperium
The Necrons, or a good part of them at least, want to find a pure form they could transfer their minds back to. They wouldn't be able to find anything pure (or real, even) if the Warp swallowed the galaxy. That's also why the Silent King is going around stirring up Tomb Worlds and preparing them to fight Tyranids. Obviously this doesn't make Necrons the good guys, it's just that Chaos and Tyranids are higher priority targets than Imperium for them.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Necrons hate humanity because to the necrons mankind is a kid stomping all over their lawn and humanity hates xenos because they are catholic space nazis but both agree that “Holy damn those warp dudes are scary and they will destroy everything”
If you think about it the imperium won the battle of cadia the black crusade was retreating but then abbadon decided to act like a whiny child and throw the black fortress towards cadia
