So does anybody understand how they actually fooled a chapter master who would've certainly studied the enemy before just jumping to assume a leader, not to mention that tau have an American style command structure so killing one guy is not at all the end. Has he not dealt with Iff before? How did tau fool what is a hundreds of wars warrior? Another reason I don't like tau, they just win, even the raptors, the raptors did nothing except make a landing and then fail to do anything the entire campaign, they also didn't have air superiority which should be standard for Astartes as that's the only thing that can effectively pin them.
@@tarektechmarine8209 She (Commander) Shadowsun, took advantage of the innate fault many Space Marines have. Hubris, their desire for glory. Pragmatic as the Ravens are, the chapter master gloated and took enjoyment at the idea of killing Shadowsun. So when he lorded over the decoy he slayed, the real shadowsun appeared into a Ghostkeel battlesuit and got him. Shadowsun isn't some nobody commander. She's a disciple of commander Purtetide, someone who mastered the art of the killing blow and the patient hunter. Shadowsun favoring the patient hunter and Commander Farsight (another disciple) favoring the killing blow. And no the Tau don't just win any more or less than any other faction. They're frequently the whipping boys in official artwork
@@shirghazaycowboys yeah, no, a raven guard chapter master, the very same guys who will drift from out of solar system for weeks just so they can get recon. Also, what does art work matter, like I stated 200 raptors, the very same "KILLING BLOW" like marines that did nothing important the entire campaign through. Lore wise tau just win, I'm fine with astartes losing but not so easily.
Space Marines are just as likely to be like the Avatars of Khaine. They are a challenge for a main character to overcome and since they are a main character they will. Like I didn't mind when a Primarch can take down an Avatar but a regular marine?! Anyway, it all comes down to plot armor and what the author wants to say
@@tarektechmarine8209 the author decides who lives or dies, biggest example is how Custodies are portrayed, in one book they’re clueless canon fodder or in others they’re shining paragons of the Emperors finest craftsmanship

@@patrickmcneil5089 indeed: The Emperor Text To Speech spinoff 'Brotrip' Origins of the Vulkan 'I want to Boop the snoot' meme 😂 I've not so secretly wanted to put together a 1000pt army that mixes Catachan, Salamanders and Raven Guard because of these series... Some day Enjoy! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WDFwgOFYF-M.html&feature=share7
Shrike proves that the Raven Guard continues to upholds their Primarch ideals and traditions, and it’s because of him that the Raven Guard it stand against the enemies of mankind.
@@gamechanger8908 Its just how the Raven guard are RG and Salamanders were two legions who treated your average citizen the best and it all stems from Corax
They might be. I heard about a story where a old woman in a city being besiged by Orks which was now in a bunker prayed for the Raven Guard specifically
The day Corax comes back is the day the galaxy will fear and be cautious to the dark and dangerous Ravenguard no Deamon will be ready for such a warrior
Shrike was the chapter master the raven guard needed. The chapter was growing insular and isolating itself under Severax's watch. Though his rules as of 9th edition on the table have been lackluster, i still do my best to want to field the shadowed avenger. It is natural for Shrike to doubt himself about his worthiness of Master of Shadows. Many of the chaoter masters come from the 3rd company and many fallen into the trap of being too much of a frontline combatant, eschewing the trifold path that corax laid down for them. The raven guard strike out across the stars with renewed purpose and vigour under the eyes of Shrike, and perhaps there are signs that the raven will rise further given that for the first time that i know of: a generic transfer sheet (that being the one in Leviathan box) has raven guard specific transfers on it
I watch a deep dive video about Space Marine Liebowitz or Tau Commander Whosis, and I go around for a day saying, "Oh, yeah, THIS guy is the best." And then I watch another video, and the vicious cycle continues. But I have a soft spot in my heart for underdogs, and the White Scars and the Ravenguard live there rent free. Thanks for the education about another THIS guy! Great job!
*Cannot Compute* Seriously though, that would be one skilled chapter. I love the Raven Guard as they are my favorite chapter, and while I never really got into the White Scars, I do respect them. Every marine would be the equivalent of a fighter jet. 😂🐦⬛
The only one I could accept getting Shadowsun's head before Kor Sarro Khan lol. cant wait to get that JoyToy they just put up for pre-order of him, gonna look nice next to the Kor Sarro on my bookshelf
Victoris Aut Mortis! Love the Raven Guard, one of my favourite Chapters. Speaking of the Raven Guard, could you do a video about a Second Founding Raven Guard succesor Chapter, the Raptors? The Raptors are… well, reasonable. They do not engage in melee combat unless necessary, prefering to take out their enemies from afar. Unlike many other Chapters, the Raptors do not care for glory and fame, often using camouflage and hiding their Chapter emblem. They make use of extensive scouting and surgical strikes to cripple their enemies. This often leads other Chapters to frown upon them, but the Raptors do not care. For service to the Emperor is its own reward. I would love to see a video about them. Love your content, keep it up!
With every video uploaded, this channel is becoming better and better. I'm really enjoying watching everything what The Remembrancer makes. So please, keep this holy work going on in Emperors name. Yours loyal follower.
Honestly, I’m thankful for this video because I’ve been wondering how did the other Legion chapter masters come about and who they are what they’ve done to become their chapter master, respectively, and in all honesty, the Raven guard was one of the most curious ones mostly because it just made me wonder like how do you how do you become worthy of leading an entire chapter when you have to practically be the best of the best of the best and I was wondering if there is either an alternative or a different method of judging who can lead an entire chapter what is a pretty good example of what it actually takes to lead a chapter can’t wait to see more videos
im far from a true fan of warhammer and all my knowledge come from yt (and like 250 pages of the founding) but something about Raven Guard just pulled me right in
Picturing an Astartes being stealthy and clinging to the shadows is hilarious to me. It makes me think of one hiding behind a tree, but the Astartes is considerably wider than the trunk and is spilling over the sides, yet NO one notices him.
Dante: wait you can just give up the chapter master role. Hey Cawl can you put me in stasis till the Emperor looks like he's going to get killed. Cawl: He's a skeleton he always looks like that. Dante: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah man
One of the few pragmatic, practical and organized chapters, but then again, if you're one with common sense you're like the poor joke of everyone else in Warhammer universe. reminds me of one of their sniper chapters, the "Raptors", they work efficiently but are considered as honourless and cowards by the wider imperium... they would view the YEET tactics more honorable than tactics that yields in lesser casualties in this universe, it seems XD
I’m still new to warhammer, but it seems that just how GW works when comes to advertising the franchise since most people love the crazy brave armies that just charge in blindly. Don’t get me wrong the legions that have gottten attention like the ultramarines, dark angels, and blood angels have proven why there the front line chapters and their primarchs ofc have achieved feet’s that are remarkable. However, I rather learn to be self sufficient even when I don’t have that many resources which the raven guard excel at.
@@linkdancer3890 it's because they mainly cater to the western media where something of a 'Hero' is shrouded by plot armor, so is an almost immortal (or always returning) villain, think of it this way, the reason why this setting is so convoluted is because they have different writers in the same universe. As well as for you to create your own Homebrew lore /faction / whatever it is under the universe you think of... 🤣
@@shimazutakuma1031 it’s been interesting so far, it’s just the armies I like seem to be the ones who get shitted on a lot by the fans and the company itself.
@@linkdancer3890 it's like that huh? To each their own i guess... but remember this, if the faction/army you like is sensible then most likely the warhammer universe is against it, but that's what also makes it cool! I hope your favorite army gets a cool limelight! Or go search for a book for them if there exists one!
It never made sense to me how the Ravenguard could ever be stealthy in power armour. I feel like a Raven guard codex should have them wear lighter armour, but harder to hit than your average astartes and can move through difficult terrain.
Before we got the Phobos Armor which is the armor suited for stealth. The Raven Guard favoured the MK6 Power Armor which like the Phobos of the current setting had less protection but produced less chattering noise and more maneuverability. Other than that the Raven Guard also have those who inherit an ability similar to Cirax where they become invisible to the naked eye, back in 30K they were known as the Mor Deythan. Since the opening of the Great Rift Kayvaan reinstated the Mor Deythan after learning about these Astartes who gain Corax' gift of invisibility, 4 members in total 1 being a Knights of Raven.
