CADIA, its Rise & Fall: Warhammer 40k LORE in 20 mins! 

Cadia stands and shall forever stand for as long as there is air in Cadian lungs. Semper fidelis ad Imperium.

True and also another fun fact, there is a specifical voice for your character for ONLY Cadia origin. :D I am rocking that voice and you can hear the in-game chat of your character being a true disciplined warrior. :D

Seconded ;)

And somehow it all starts with the unification war.....

Oh man, I hope so!

Ooh ooh ooh! Praetorian guard?!

Even better. Its an every planet in the imperium series

@@patrickking3124 By the time we’re done it would be the Great Crusade

So I'm a noob. Has the Fall of Cadia been in the lore from the beginning, or did they bring that along later?

@@roebuckmckinney Until fairly recently the story of 40k didn't really change. You had stuff like the Armageddon war that was ongoing but none of these conflicts were resolved it was just a thing going on in the background that you could say your armies were fighting in. Then in 2003 GW released the eye of terror campaign where players enter this massive tournament set in the 13th black crusade and whichever side won would canonically win the war. Chaos players won but for some reason, that got swept under the rug and the 13th black crusade was left unresolved. Fast forward many years to 40k getting rebranded with the primaris and stuff they reviewed the 13th black crusade and added in the whole Cadia getting torn apart thing, galaxy getting split in two and all the fuckery that followed in the aftermath tldr. 13th black crusade existed in the lore for years, how the crusade ended is a recent addition

its the only correct way. the way most english native speakers pronounce it doesn't correspond to the written letters and its rules in the slightest. double vowel means elongated sound, means its a stressed syllabil. The only way to stress the -nesh syllabil like most people do would be if there would be a glottal stop between Slaa and -nesh. But then it would be written as Slaa'nesh in english since glottal stops are no incorporated feature in that language (other than in german, hungarian or finnish ie, where there are compound nouns). Drives me nuts.

Start with the wiki. It’s free and gives a good compilation on most topics

All regular regiments of the Astra Militarum are described as effective soldiers. You'll find plenty of badass lore around other regiments such as the Mordians, the Valhallans, and - of course - the Tanith First and Only. Cadians are often described as examples to others and "born soldiers" but GW is quite inconsistent on what that means in bigger picture. Neither Cadia nor Krieg really stand out as "elite" above other regiments (a case could be made for Cadia because so many other worlds emulate them. But that may be just to allow people to slap their own names on Cadian minis), they just get more lore than many.

Haha, long time to get a reply since I posted that, but thank you very much for your time to give me an answer.@@dxpsumma383

Kriegers? Elite? I have no clue how you got that impression. Grenadiers aside, they are only “elite” if you consider getting shot walking across open ground into machine gun fire a skill. Also just as an aside grenadiers is not a catch all term as described in the video but a specific one to the Death Korps.

Not sure what you're hearing, but that's what I said!

Sounds like something that evolved. Like Akkadia, which may have inspired it, to Cadia. Beautiful name.

@@Severian1 Could be based on Cascadia as well.

@@nakenmil That's even more closer to the name. I agree, just shave off "Cas"

@@nakenmil Or you know, the greek word Arcadia?

@@aydengartenlaub That sounds even more plausible.

That was actually crazy. I never expected them to destroy the planet

I didn't know the fate of cadia was actually decided through reported games! That's awesome, but at the same time I'm sad because I'm a huge cadian player.

@@clanmacmillan4483yea…I didnt actually take part in it, but I’m 90% sure that the reported games would’ve resulted in Cadia not only surviving, but repelling everything that came at it, due to balancing in the game’s rules and mechanics. I feel like GW decided themselves to have the planet be destroyed just so they could keep Chaos as a major faction.

​@@blademaster2390The Eye of Terror campaign was back in 3rd, and at the time Chaos was in a lot better state than in recent years. The campaign used games of regular 40k, Epic, and Battlefleet Gothic as scoring metrics, and the general trend was Chaos winning the bulk of ground battles, and the Imperium winning a slight majority in space. You also had the Ork players, many of whom banded together to count all their wins as happening in the Scarus sector, which for a time was renamed Skar-Uz and conquered in the "Green Croozade" Similarly the Tau players did well enough that the 3rd Expansion Sphere was directly based on their success in the campaign.

I only just started getting into warhammer, sadly I don't even have my own army yet. I feel like I've missed so much, I'm trying my best to understand the universe and catch up on all the Lore before I g we t my first army

But they did break

CADIA STANDS!!

@@doublep1980 The only reason people say that is because "All is Dust" was already taken.

@@Inquisdrknss Shut up heretic.

@@doublep1980 We'll settle this on Cadia. . . Oh wait

I was there when Rynn's World fell! 👴

@@euansmith3699 When the Crimson Fists shot themselves in the foot, if I recall?

@@nickharvey7233 In the foot? IN THE FOOT!? They took off the whole Emperor damned leg right up to the ribs. 😄

She didn't call forth a Daemon prince she ascended herself into one lol

Legit the reason why I’m watching this

Thanks!

Imagine getting an order from your commisar to go fuck for the Emperor

the guard broke before the planet did

I quite like that the first time this was run, in the early 2000s, had the Imperium winning with Abaddon's forces stalled on the surface, and then when they wrote the second version they basically added a second episode. The story is the same as before, Abaddon's original attack repulsed and the chaos forced stalled, and then the Blackstone Fortress emerges.

They are! And they're available from Merchoid. I have a review elsewhere on the channel

Probably because it’s so close to the Eye of Terror so corruption is high susceptible. Not to mention the fact that Astartes home worlds don’t pay Imperial Tithe’s and Cadia exports a majority of its population to fight the Imperium’s battles elsewhere in the Galaxy

I mean there always seemed to be marines around when stuff was going down on Cadia, besides why settle for second best when your world is important enough to have first founding chapters racing each other to come to your aid. But that aside Cadia is a Guard plot point and there are many many more guardsmen than there are marines.

The obvious one is TANITH

I believe the Mordian iron guard lost their homeworld to the thousand sons.
