Exploring Warhammer 40k: The Fortress World of Cadia 

Cadia: In the process of becoming Alderaan Cadians to the Chaos forces trapped on the pieces of the planet: *I'm not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with me* It was said that laser fire can still be seen on the broken pieces of the planet while it was being torn apart. Truly one of the greatest final stands in 40k and in fiction.

Cadia's fall is easily one of the most memorable 40k moments ever

As a loyal member of the Imperial guard completely not having a commissar point a bolt pistol at my head I can proudly say “CADIA STANDS!”

CADIA STANDS!

“Cadia broke…before the Guard did.” Damn it TES lol. The resolve….geez. If ever there was a line to sum up the epicness of WarHammer 40k. That’s definitely it.

5:29 It’s important to note that Emps didn’t just have Girlyman knock down a city, the Emperor psychically forced every gathered word bearer to kneel with a crushing weight. The paradox broke Lorgar, because telling someone you’re not a god at the same time you warp the universe to bend them to your immortal will is kind of what a god would do. But an asshole god who’s not worth your affection anymore.

"Cadia Fell, before the Guard did" - Cadian Shock Troops are litterally still fighting Chaos on the larger parts of the parts of the planet that still has some sort of force field protection.

I originally followed you years ago because you were the one to introduce me to the SCP lore and I loved it. Now you’re doing 40k lore which I deeply cherish and love. Even tho I know a lot about the lore I still listen to your 40k videos, that’s how much I appreciate you doing these. Thank you.

Let it be known that the planet broke before the guard! Cadis stands!

The Planet Broke before the Gaurd!

I don’t know anything about 40k… But then again 3 years ago I didn’t know anything about SCP. Time to absorb another universe worth of information I guess, one Sunday night at time

Thank you for doing a 40k lore video that literally just explains the lore. A lot of other 40k YTers just cannot stay on topic and their vids become junked up with tangents, opinions and bad jokes, so I'm very happy to finally have someone who just presents the information and nothing else. Can't wait for the next video!

Fun fact: General Creed, the supreme commander of Cadia, and one of the greatest military minds in the imperium, has been kidnapped by Trazyn. lol

The planet broke before the guard

Cadia Stands!

Can we also admire that Krell (long time Body Guard of Creed) shoved Creed on the last Gun ship leaving the area, had both his Legs blow of and then Abbadon picked him up to stare into his eyes as he died......and Krell Spit in the mans face. The Balls on that man.

CADIA STANDS! THE PLANET BROKE BEFORE THE GUARD DID!

My dude, you've gotta make more 40k content 👌 Your narration voice is very fitting for 40k chronicles

Cadia didn't do a good enough job of CONTAINING the Eye of Terror and the Black Legion despite those clearly being Keter-class anomalies, they need lessons from the Foundation about how to better contain SCPs.

Cadia stands!

*OH BOY! IT’S 3AM!! AND CADIA BROKE BEFORE THE GUARD DID!!!*

CADIA STANDS! THE GUARD NEVER FELL!!!

Its very ironic that a Chaos corrupted world became the very thing holding back literal hell

Hey just wanna say, I only really usually came here for SCP's but trying new things is good. i like this warhammer stuff. You are perfect voice to explain these things. Your voice is just so sooothing when i sleep

Although I’ve never played any of the games or anything I’m really enjoying the Warhammer content. Keep up the good work!

I think my favorite thing about warhammer is that, even if there’s a nice world to live on, I’m almost certain that it’s just about to be invaded by any number of horrors. There’s no room for that in war hammer lol

The Planet Broke, Before The Guard Did.

I am in so much love with the 40k lore this is the dream

My favorite bit of Warhammer lore is that lasgun fire could still be seen on the broken pieces of Cadia as they floated away. Truly, the planet broke before the Guard.

The Imperium in 40k are, in fact, the good guys. They fight for the survival of mankind, I am part of mankind, therefore I defend the Imperium to my last breath.

Good old Abaddon the Harmless and his GW pattern plot armor.

Sooo... Great video! Always love listening to your stuff. A few things however: Space Hulks are *big*. A lot of the Imperial Battleships (Emperor Class) are about 7ish KM long and have crews of around 200,000... Space Hulks are made from 5 to HUNDREDS of ships, some of the transport ships can be around 75KM so imagine an irregular mass of that size, mixed with small planetoids and meteors. They are held together by their own gravity and Warpy things. Gene Stealers also make use of Space Hulks as a way to get to the next ship/planet that the Tyranids want to eat (not hyperbole). Saint Celestine is a "Big Deal" Imperial Saints are able to channel a portion of the Emperor's power, assuming he wants to share. There are about 10-ish Living Saints in the entire Galaxy, Celestine has been around, in one incarnation or another since the Siege of Terra. This one time she shoved a spear through a Daemon Princes heart.... and *killed it*, not banished, but killed it dead. The majority of her deaths have been due to being betrayed by other Imperial forces, like she is simply a murder machine, the the Nun-iest nun, in the Nuns With Guns. The Will of Eternity was a "Blackstone Fortress", there were a total, in the galaxy, made by "we don't know" of 6 of them they are roughly 10,560KM in size. The WoE was not destroyed by the Imperial forces, it had it's weapon systems *disabled* by "The Phalanx" the fortress monastery of the Imperial fists, which is about the size of a "Small Moon". The traitor forces strapped drives to the WoE and smashed a whole lot of battleships in to it and pushed the entire thing, lock stock and barrel in to Cadia. It took a 6,000 mile wide pointy star made of a material which can't be replicated. to destroy Cadia. There is a channel "Baldermort's Guide to Warhammer" that does *tons* of lore stuff about 40k, his is far less fact driven and far more theatric in nature, but he did a video about Cadia. I think the two of you could do a fantastic job on a collab, he could do the scripting you could get to do your favorite thing; "researching cool stuff"

*Enjoys Slaanesh grade soda and chips as this video plays*

Cadia is to Warhammer like Reach is to Halo.

Cadia stands!!

As a 40k fan for some months now, I can follow along with the story pretty well. But I cannot imagine someone totally new to this and not be confused by all the factions, sub factions, characters, concepts etc lmao I sure did all those months ago. And TES is doing their best to simplify I'm sure, but man you can't escape the insanity of 40k.

Correction for 2:51 according to all recent lore (and I believe even stretching back to 3rd Ed or later) the Eye of Terror was formed by the aeldari and not the old ones. Sources: Master of Mankind in a vision by the Emperor to Ra, The First Heretic in a vision from a daemon to Argal Taal, and The End and The Death Vol1 in a vision by the Emperor to Sanguineous. To the best of my knowledge, there is no lore stating that the old one ripped open warp rifts to power their abilities, although that may be some really old first edition lore that I'm not aware of. If I am and if somebody has a source, I would be happy to read it

Ah yes, Cadia. Site of Abaddon’s temper tantrum…

The phrase Cadia Stands was coined by a single soldier on Cadia. Caiphus Cain I think? I recall the whole battle of Cadia revolved around him, odd not hearing him mentioned constantly throughout the video

its funny how listening to you talk about 40k makes it sound like a SCP 40k crossover.

wew always ready for more TES

Man, you’re narration is top level! I started listening to you by randomly getting recommended an SCP video years ago. You drew me into that universe and now you are making videos on 40k! Thank you sir thank you!

Love the new Warhammer content. This is easily the best short summary of cadia I have seen.

I have watched you since forever, I found you when I was trying to understand what is "SCP Foundation" as a concept and lo and behold, you not only had a video dedicated to the one question that I wanted answers to, but you had a whole channel full of exploring, or explaining, different topics. Our interests (dark sci-fi in 40k, mythology, game lore, H.P. Lovecraft and the SCP phenomenon after you made me understand the idea behind it). Least to say that of all the content on youtube, I cherish your content the most. I have lived a hard life and your story-telling is enabling me to detach from reality for a bit and enjoy some good stories, fiction, folktales, mythology. I'm all for stories. You have inspired me to tell stories to. The way you structure your videos is Perfect. It's almost like you know exactly what clicks with your audience and I think that messages to us that you cherish us too. We love the content you produce for us, Mangg. Don't you ever dare forget it. We all know there are bunch of insomniacs here that consume your content to be able to sleep, I admit I'm part of the said gang and your effort does benefit mankind, no matter how marginal it may be. Thanks bro is all I'm saying.

id love to see a vermintide video sometime! ive always been curious abt its lore

YES! So happy to see more Warhammer videos.

I’m a proud Cadia stan

Oh boy, I sure do love being a citizen of Cadia. Hopefully no one throws a super weapon into the surface of my home world!

Honestly I’m super excited that you’re doing warhammer lore I’ve been struggling trying to know this stuff there’s so much history and lore and stories it’s beautiful

I usually come for the SCP content, but this is really good. Doing both is a good thing. Keep it up. Thx.

The 40K content is turning out great, glad you’re back at it.

I am still sad it's not a SCP video, but I am starting to enjoy warhammer videos a lot more

I look forward to when you cover arks of omens. Even though we have a lot to get thru. Thanks for another awesome vid man 😄

I remember when this channel would give a Lovecraft Elder God about six minutes. Tops.

Came for the SCP content, but I am glad to see you are making content you want to. Your voice is great for narrations :)

I haven’t watched you since my last job, it’s nice to hear a video again just at home. You bring me comfort from days that cannot be hazed otherwise. Thank you

40k suits you perfectly! It's a duo

I know nothing about Warhammer but I wanted to say I really appreciate that you credit artists in every video you do! It is so important yet so rarely done by youtubers. I can always count on you, though. Thank you!

Happy to see new content

my internet has been out for 2 days and this is the first video on my list to watch now that it's back

I think I read something on a Warhammer Discord server that even as the planet spilt apart that Imperial pilots could still see lasguns still firing on the enemy forces

Whenever that 40K movie happens. The story of Cadia should definitely be a companion series.

I'd wonder what happened if a Pacifist managed to come up on Cadia without having had that beaten out of them in one way or another, but... well, I suspect that they wouldn't last long. Then again, I also don't know how easy it is to transfer worlds. Maybe they'd be able to get sent to an agriworld or something...

Cadia wasn't merely a planet, it was an ideal, an ideal that so long as the staunch Cadian Guardsman lives, Cadia will stand! Cadia fights, the Emperor protects, and even in death Cadia now fights alongside the Emperor against the countless, nameless horrors of the warp..Cadia stands, the Emperor protects and our enemies shall know fear.

My favourite thing about Cadians is how they get shown up in terms of courage and commitment by the Death Korps in the Krieg book.

Big fan of the channel and your D&D series. If you considered doing a series on the world of Eberron I'd be over the moon!

Everyone's gangsta till Trazyn the Infinite shows ups with his pokeballs

Cadia may be favorite home world for soldiers, but the Krieg Deth corps are more deadly and willing to die for the emperor

An interesting move to not directly mention blackstone fortresses in the destruction of cadia, but given the rabbit hole that represents, i don't blame you.

Would like to add, the eye of terror is also known as the birth womb of Slaaanesh, it was created during the fall of Eldar when they created a new chaos god by their emotions. Just fyi

Do you ever plan on doing videos on Warhammer fantasy? This is great, been enjoying it!

I was one of the people who requested this on twitter! So glad to see you cover Cadia

The experiment with Pseudo Pataphysical latent space entanglement nareme fields are working better than those SCP researchers dared hope.

Really love this Warhammer 40k lore 🗿

I was wondering and I’m sure you have it planned, but could you touch on the space wolves. I bought a pack of them a while ago and for the last year and a half been contemplating how to customize them perhaps you’ll have some brilliant ideas. Thanks

Babe wake up! New 40k lore video just dropped!

I remember reading that there was a Blackstone fortress in orbit around Cadia that Abbadon took over and used its engines to plummet it into the planet, destroying it. Was there a rewrite?

Your channel is a staple of my youtube watchin just for your SCP vids..... Warhammer is my other other jam!!

listened to nearly all the SCP videos now. Defo looking forward to 40K since im quite new to it.

Hearing you talk about 40k is surreal.

We need a video of the 13 Black Cruzade. The Imperador demands!

Best video yet on 40k

i love you branching out again

"The Empire of Mankind certainly aren't the good guys" To be precise, the empire is the most evil force in 40k

Started witching your videos bc scp World but 40k is also very welcome, i suggest a video about the state of the galaxy so far

You know its a party when Trazyn shows up randomly.

Im so glad we are getting more 40k videos i missed these

The destruction of cadia is still one of the biggest cop outs in 40k, though not nearly as egregious as Cawl and his infinite store Funko-pop marines

That last line was pretty awesome.

"An Exploding Warhammer seems like a bad idea...>>

The humble lasgun does well.

The planet broke before the guard did.

SCP-6438: "The Fairy Queen" Object Class: Euclid Special Containment Procedures: SCP-6438 is to be contained in a standard humanoid containment chamber at Site-19 Any attempts to communicate with SCP-6438 should be done via a remote interface. SCP-6483 is to be kept under constant surveillance, and any attempts to use its anomalous abilities must be approved by at least two Level-3 personnel. Description: SCP-6438 is a humanoid entity standing approximately 170cm in height and weighing approximately 50kg. SCP-6438 appears to be a teenage girl of indeterminate age, with long red hair and green eyes. SCP-6438 is capable of manipulating and controlling fire, and is able to generate flames from its body and manipulate them to a degree that surpasses known human capabilities. SCP-6438 claims to be a fairy queen from a parallel dimension known as the "Magix Dimension". It claims to have been sent to our dimension to study and observe human behavior, and to assist in the containment of dangerous anomalies. SCP-6438 has demonstrated a high degree of intelligence and knowledge of various anomalous phenomena, but its claims about its origins cannot be verified. SCP-6438 has demonstrated the ability to fly and to generate a protective shield around itself, which it refers to as a "magic barrier". It has also demonstrated the ability to transform into a more powerful form, which it refers to as "Enchantix". When in this form, SCP-6438 powers are greatly amplified, and it gains the ability to heal injuries and cure diseases. SCP-6438 has also demonstrated a strong emotional connection to other humanoid entities, and has expressed a desire to form friendships and alliances with Foundation personnel. However, it has also demonstrated a willingness to use its powers to defend itself and others, even if it means violating Foundation protocols. Addendum: SCP-6438 was initially discovered in [], Rom where it had been causing several forest fires. Foundation personnel were dispatched to contain the anomaly, and SCP-6483 was subsequently captured and contained at Site-19. Further research into the nature of SCP-6438S anomalous abilities and origins is ongoing. #WeWantFadeTheWingsSagaSeason3

Love this story even when the world broke in half lazgun fire could be seen still fireing even as the world was blown apart right to the last man

The Eye of Terror was form by the birth of Slanesh

Oh cool i was just trying to find out more about cadia

I am very happy that you are doing 40k stuff. You are the only one I ever listened for SCP ever! And now you got even better. God bless you😊

Surprised that this is delivered in present tense.

So long as a single Cadian still stands in defiance of the heretical warmaster, Cadia lives.

I know nothing about 40k, nor ever had any interest, but I’m desperate for your content so I watch it anyway, and now maybe I care a little
