SPACE MARINE TANKS (ARE COOL) | Warhammer 40k feat Kirioth 

Interestingly, Land Raiders are only used by Astartes and Custodes, no other faction in Imperium is permitted to use them, despite being very common model across Imperium during the Great Crusade. When the Horus Heresy started and numerous important Forge Worlds were lost, Emperor decreed every Land Raider conscripted for Astartes use. After Heresy ended and Emperor got stuck on his throne, he never had a change to rescind his order and it is upheld as a holy decree even ten millenia later.

On the Primaris in a rhino thing: There is actually a joke in The Gate of Bones where a squad of Imperial Fist Intercessors are stuffed in a Sisters of Battle Rhino. They talk about how, in all the battle scenarios Cawl prepared them for, none involved riding to battle hunched over in a vehicle too small for them.

DK's flat denial in response to learning about Arkan Land feeds my soul. But they didn't reach the heady heights of realising that the Emperor could be called Jimmy Space and they are his Space Marines.

Just because I want to see DK squirm a bit more: You know the Land Speeder? The little marine skimmer with anti-grav plates that levitates around shooting a heavy bolter, multimelta, assault cannon or missiles? ...guess who discovered the STC for it. Yep, ya boi Arkhen Land.

Ah yes, the good old "it's not a tank, I swear, it's an IFV, crew inside counts as dismounts, we don't break Codex, don't send Minotaurs, please!"

Salamander: *looks at blood angels with puppy dog eyes* Blood Angel: No Salamander: ITS NOT FAIR HOW COME YOU GOT THE BEST FLAMETHROWER TANKS

The inventor of the Lasgun, Merrick Gun, coined the term “Las” as the innovation was the last of his long line, and he had a very difficult time pronouncing hard consonants, thus, it was his “las” invention. His "las" "gun", if you will. True story, it’s in the third Fulgrim book. Look it up it’s true.

41:56 Why do I get the idea that someone sent Cawl a picture of an Eldar Fire Prisim and a Tau Hammerhead. And he just sat there laughing for three days, before putting the two pictures together, cackling manically, injecting pure meth into his bloodstream and NOS into his mechanical bits, before vanishing into his workshop. Months pass. The Fabricator General has become afraid of the terrifying banging and laughter coming from inside, and forbids anyone from getting near. Servitors begin to go insane when they approach. C'Tan and Omnissiah alike stare in horrified awe. Till finally, one day, the doors screech open... And out it floats. Mankind's answer to the laughter of the gods. Their own anti-son-of-a-bitch machine. The middle finger mobile. Fucking wonderful. :D

In case they're curious about early tanks; the treads and "bow" (they were a navy project originally) are on purpose. They were so that they could crawl over barbed wire and trenches. They effectively bridge them, singlehandedly, with the bow crashing down on the other side of the trench when the balance shifts. Their purpose was very different to modern tanks. Why would that design exist in 40k? Someone at GW **REALLY** likes WW1.

In actuality, the Sisters' organ missile thing is basically an MLRS, functionally. Using different lengths of launching tubes and different caliber missiles might actually produce the effect of having different tones to the individual launches, thus creating a playable rocket-organ. *Katyusha intensifies*

There're at a great bit about the Land Raider in the book "The Great Work" where Cawl chuckles as he remembers the way the guy who made the tank would stomp his feet and say "No! It's LAND'S Raider! NOT Land Raider!!" Other fun fact: "tank" was actually the code name the allies used before they were unveiled in order to trick the Central Powers into believing they were just moving big storage tanks around

"Theres a Brit in the walls." Edit: Yeah, in the books a Chaos Marine gets flattened into paper by one of those antigrav tanks.

The treads that are angled up on the land raider and ww1 tanks are designed so they can travel over trenches. Instead of getting stuck when they tip forward: the up angled part snags the the other side and it pulls itself over

The First World War Tanks are designed for crossing trenches hence the rhomboid shape . More ground contact spreading the weight. It all fits the WW1 aesthetic of warhammer battles. The guns on the sides designed to fire down the trench as they cross.

good to see another episode with Kirioth!

The Astartes were named after Amar Astarte, who in turn was named after a Greek goddes of war and sex, Hence the name "Adeptus Astartes" Translates to Masters of warfare, or in the case of the Emperor's Children, Eternal Sex

Bricky convinced me to spend 800 bucks on an imperial guard army plus paint on the guard episode! Now I have even MORE guard!…god I miss my girlfriend..

My favorite part about the "land raider" situation (I think it was in the gods of mars series, or more likely, the cawl novel) was the quote from arkan land himself going "those idiots! They should have called it 'Land's Raider' or 'Land's Speeder!' That one even hovers!"

Fun fact: The land raider debacle also applies to the land speeder. Also originally the name was Land’s raider and I’m pretty sure there’s book where he got angry about the name change.

Virgin: NO, IMPERIAL TANK DESIGNS ARE JUST BOXES ON TRACKS WITH IMPRACTICALLY BIG GUNS!!! Chad: *Yes, and?*

I can't believe they missed the Harlequin Land Raider when they were talking about Land Raiders. Rogue trader was a beautiful time and I wish everyone would stop forgetting it existed. (Since the Squats are back, maybe we can get that thing back too)

I'm calling it: all those tank episodes are building up to ORK LOOTED TANK

The Astraeus Super Heavy Tank is like putting a GDI Mammoth Tank and the Chinese Overlord tank together, make it float, and put it in the 40k universe.

Until fourth edition, the imperial dozer blade was called "effective troop clearance", and yes, that was the official name.

44:45 - A I know a guy who runs three of the Astreaus as ironhands in one list. He actually did better than me in a tournament with it too. Madlad bought three in one go, three weeks before the event and got them all painted up in time. The rest of the list is a techmarine and a squad of infiltrators

If only GW also showed some love to Land Raiders, most iconic 40k vehicle since RT. The fact that Primaris Crusaders can't embark on Land Raider Crusader is heresy in itself. Land Raider datasheets need proper update and love.

Astraeus is basically a Thunderhawk with Gravplates.

R.I.P. Bricky's mortgage. (It died so Big Wang Tanks could flourish)

Holy Shit! When Kirioth was making fun of the land raider I literally thought he’d make fun of bolters by saying they were made by HAROLD BOLT and then he fucking said it! What are the odds?

“I just wanted to hear the anger, and the panic.” 10/10 EXCELLENT EPISODE!

The MOWAS 2 mod "ASV PLATFORM WH40K" or something like that has an amazing rendition of the Hurricane Bolters. My favorite use though is on the Dark Angel's base dreadnought.

Chapter keep: explodes Rynns Might: And I took it personally

Saying "STL" by accident was the funniest thing, I'm glad Shy caught it!

As a tank nerd, you definitely should make fun from old tanks. Unless it's P. 1000 Ratte! In that case you, your car and your home should be ride over by one.

I swear that somehow Aperture is still present in 40k because of how absurd human weapons look.

Thanks guys, I now have the image of a primarus (or however the fuck you spell it) space marine, in one of those shitty Italian Tankettes from ww2 that had 2 man crews, a machine gun, 5mm thick armour, open top and a max speed of like 5km/h on a road.

I personally would like to see Kirioth featured more regularly on the show. I really enjoy the dynamic with him, Bricky and, DK.

It took me a while to remember where I had heard Kirioth's voice, but then I remembered that he was on the Co-optional podcast back in the day, going full WH40k nerd with Totalbiscuit. I'm going to have to go and listen to that episode now.

I always figured the land raider was a reference to the first tank being known as the land ship

You know, the Word bearers make their tanks and vehicles look amazing, with all.their books, scrolls and flames? They're a really interesting legion

Kirioth just needs to join AdRic full time as the third host of the show. Each time he's been on has just been so much fun.

I remember when I was first starting my first real kitbash for Space Wolves was to take the Marine that's popping out of the Rhino and put two Storm Bolters in his hands

39:42 Kirioth is correct here. If I remember correctly in the book Dark Imperium an Iron Warrior attempts to dive under a impulsor tank and strap a bomb to its underside. Unfortunately, the gravitic field was on and he was reduced to paste.

Your army is never complete without a couple Rhinos or a Land Raider

Kuddos to Kirioth for convincing Bricky of making that purchase, enjoy your check from GW good sir.

WW1 tanks were designed to be bullet proof and traverse through no mans land and over the trenches. That's why they're that shape.

*Sees someone bring in a Mastodon* "Guys! Get the Void Dragon!"

I would like to see more episodes with Kirioth, I really like the dynamics of everyone.

I really think that, of the 30/40K tanks, pretty much all have 'Chode Syndrome'; Wide as fuck, with 0 depth. Like, just stretch every tank out 50% length-wise, and they all look acceptable, but most are just _especially_ fucked pugs in my opinion.

The Mastodon also completely opens up on the back as well, acting as a portable gate too. The idea is that you drive up to a wall, burn your way through with the melta cutter, bust through with the front end, open up, dump 40 Marines, then open up the back and let even more Marines storm through.

At this point they are trolling us by making the thumbnail show Blood Angels

Ah Bricky i already have my sallies rolling around behind an astraus and let me tell you the first time you use Born Protectors to have this thing fire overwatch or have a flamer squad over watch this thing it is glorious. I haven't played with it since armor of contempt, but oh lord its coming.

I always liked how GW made the treads slope the wrong way on the Space Marines' tanks

I think an Episode going over Space Marine power armor would be a pretty cool idea honestly

I saw Adeptus uploaded a new video, “perfect, I’ll watch this while I build my gladiator…” I said to myself. I’m currently being crushed by the sheer amount situational irony 😂👌🏻also, Stomp stomp Vulcan lives! 🔥

"This is our new techpriest, Laszlow Gunn, and he has an interesting invention to show you!"

«Cawl had known Arkhan Land. Land was never happy with the name given his tank. ‘Land’s Raider!’ Arkhan Land said angrily, that strange simian he’d cooked up in a jar jigging about on his shoulder. ‘Land’s Raider!» From “Belisarius Cawl: The Great Work” by Guy Haley

They forgot to mention the Lascanon + twin plasma gun loadout for the razorback. It was really good at killing heavy infantry but the power requirements kept causing the tanks reactors to overload. As such, the razorback would either shut down in the middle of battle and be destroyed by the enemy, or the reactor would blow up and destroy the tank with everyone in it. Genuinely interesting and pretty hilarious lore

"Let me tell you the tale of Lazarus Gunn, the inventor of the Lasgun..." The retcon with Arkan Land is the single most pointless stupid thing in 40k.

If it makes DK feel better, it's Canon from that one Cawl book with the Scythes of the Emperor that Arkhanand HATED the name of his raider and speeder.

DK just got Games Workshoped. Welcome to the family.

So my guess is somewhat correct. Land Raider (or as Akhan Land prefers, Land's Raider) is the tank used by Space Marine as their tank base. I was so looking forward to the monkey-scorpion hybrid that he created.

The rhino reminds me a lot of the 113 and the fact there are so many variants makes me think that somehow Mike Sparks is now working for the adeptus mechanicus

Fuckin love Kirioth episodes. You guys compliment each other's energy so well

You've heard of arkand land but have you heard of the emperor of mankind jimmy space and his space marines

33:20 oh you can make fun of the German SuperHeavies, believe me when I say that the Tigers were only good because they rushed em through with heavy Armor and excellent Guns....oh, and when the Tigers first debuted against the British in the Africa Campaign they were all swiftly knocked out by British AT Guns. No, Tigers weren’t invincible. Funfact: The Germans encountered MAJOR issues against the French and Soviets because they had tanks like the Char B1,KV-1&KV-2 which had juuust enough Armor so none of the Standard German AT Guns could penetrate them. It’s my own Theory that the Germans got traumatized by early encounters with Tanks in WW1 and early encounters with Heavy Tanks in WW2 and they struggled to penetrate them with a lot of their equipment(yeah Artillery and Field Guns in WW1 could clap the cheeks of WW1 Tanks but those took time to deploy, and had issues hitting their Targets), and they were like “if those inferior Bolsheviks and French had success with heavily Armed&Armored Tanks then imagine what us superior Aryans could do with Heavy Armor&Guns!”(dont personally believe any “race is superior, just capturing the thought process of what some literal Nazis may have had) Anyone that thinks the German Big Cats other than the Panther were genuinely well designed Vehicles is either ignorant,biased and possibly naive. Don’t get me wrong, I love seeing the German Big Cats but those vehicles had so many reliability and mechanical issues, meanwhile the Allies didnt rush most of their Tank programs as much as the Germans did and so they were able to have much better balanced Vehicles overall.(yeah T-34s&IS’s were all a bit shoddy, but they weren’t anywhere near as different to maintain as the German Big Cats.

Kirioth is the resident tech marine.

The Royal Dorn tank better be straight up combat killdozer or I’m gettin me mallet

You guys should bring Baldermort on for a future episode!

I love the tanks. They can carry so many little guys

Each time he said STL I imagined a Tech Priest trying to send a file to his 3D printer via Octoprint or something. The Canticles of Extrusion

The Sabre reminds me of the STuG for some reason

I'm on the process of making my own chapter specific land raider variant I'm calling it the land raider Annihilator, replacing the troop capacity for a Imperial knight grade plasma cannon, and with two plasma cannon sponsons. Its to be used as a frontline seige tank

The capitol Imperialis is so big that you can make a home for your pet of it.

You know, the Rhino is one of the most interesting things in 40k. It’s one of the few cases where the vehicle that inspired it has more wacky stuff floating around the internet than even the most over the top 40k version. Even the mighty pipe organ Rhino pales in comparison to the majesty of the Aerogavin.

The Astraeus has fewer guns than the Repulsor. *Somehow*.

I could not help but just start laughing hysterically at the pipe organ/missile launcher thing.

24:00 Never get tired of hearing that beautiful fact.

we call the small tanks, "Tonks"

The mastodon is awesome as it's designed for sieges, using that front melta array to blow a giant hole in the wall, drive into it and open the doors, then open the rear hatch as well so guys on foot and dreadnoughts and use it as a tunnel, while the little command center on top is protected by the anti air gun

Query. This is my first time encountering grav tanks so please bear with me. In dark imperium, there was a part where the ultramarines and their successor chapters (and primaris marines) had to charge through a nurgle-ified swamp/bog/river because the guardsmen can't. Why did they not use grav tanks? Was it because the Robot Girlyman "somehow" did not have those, but has a legion of primaris marines? I just find it hard to believe his strategic genius sometimes even when he has that creepy Archmagos Belsaurus Cawl backing him up.

Armoured Vehicles: Tank - small crew, large main gun for direct fire SPA (Self Propelled Artillery) - Main gun primarily used for indirect fire APC (Armoured personnel carrier) - taxi with armour and maybe a small gun IFV (Infantry Fighting Vehicle) - taxi with armour and a medium sized main gun Tank is not a catch all term for metal plated vehicle with treads.

25:31 Harold Bolt, descendant of former Australian Prime Minister, Harold Holt, who went for a swim one day and never returned. His name has since become rhyming slang for running away or doing a bolt. "Gonna do a Harold Holt."

MHETAL BOXES!

In the sister's tank, the missile rests entirely below the functional part of the organ tube until the organist lifts off the keys. The missile advances in to firing position while that tube isn't organing, then when she plays that key again the missile launches to clear the tube

I kinda wish they revamp the Capitol Imperialis for the Sisters, I believe Sisters got it in ultimate apocalypse (or some other mod, I don't remember). The idea of a literal full mobile cathedral city on titanic threads really would fit the Sororitas aesthetic.

7:30 oh my god that is AMAZING! Im just imaging a Convoy of these watching a Loyalist Titan Legio duel a bunch of Traitor Titans or maybe some Ork Gargants/Stompas while the Sisters of Battle are all just blasting The Kraken Theme or Davey Jones Theme

pre 8th ed landraider versions: that were offical (from my memory): - godhammer (two twin linked lascannons and twinlinked heavy bolter - redeemer (two flamestorm cannons and twin linked assault cannon - crusader (two hurricane bolters and twin linked assault cannon - Prometheus (two quad heavy bolters) - Helios (two twin linked lascannons, whirlwind missile launcher) - achilles (two twin linked lascannons, thunderfire cannon) - land raider terminatus ultra (3 twin linked lascannons, 2 lascannon sponsons - Landraider Spartan (two quad lascannons, twin linked heavy bolter) - cerberus and typhon both technically use the spartan's hull with just sponson single heavy bolters or lascannons - the landraider with the twin linked assault cannons, demolisher cannon, twin heavy flamers was a fan build that became a bit popular and might have been featured in an warhammer 40k apocalypse document - the landraider twin linked heavy bolters, two hurricane bolters, two heavy bolters was chapter approved 2017 - the landraider two heavy flamers, two flamestorm cannons, twin linked assault cannon was chapter approved 2017

I thought it would have been the council of 8 but this is good too.

42:25 That thing looks like its going to transform into a giant robot.

I once won an competitive RTT with an Iron Hands Astraeus just surrounded by characters giving out buffs, and imperial fists thunderfire cannons in the back. The astreus had like a techmarine giving it "hit on 2s, 1 free hit/wound/damage reroll" and could heal it for flat 3 wounds a turn, a librarian giving it +1 to it's saves by casting psysteel armour (which back then ALSO worked on the void shields) and who could ALSO heal it using reforge. It was insane. Now that it's got armour of contempt I'm actually tempted to break it out again...

40:09 in the dark imperium book there was a fragment where chaos space marine goes under the repulsor tank wanting to destroy it and imidietly gets turned into pancake made of blood and ceramite

37:24 Ben Booley! Great painter and all around lad for goonhammer

"Don't name more tanks after primarchs please." GW: "Okay." *Names Deathwatch flying transport after Corvus Corax.*

Out of all the images in 40K. IF they had to bring something to the big screen. I truly believe seeing the sisters of battle assault campaign on a plant of Heretics, would have everybody all in for the rest of the ride. The idea of seeing a large scale battalion of Exorcists “performing a refrain” and it’s one long scene of carnage and synth techno space Catholic organ work, would be something I’d remember to my dying days.

I love that the outlandish Warhammer 40k weapons/vehicles can still be compared to absurd designs of IKEA furniture.

Fun Fact, the thunderhawk was actually named after Titus Hunderus, nicknamed "Hawk" by his squadmates.

14:23 well of course they’re sweaty, holding their hands up in victory for so long does that

GLAD TO SEE THE BOY BACK :D

The Mastodon is so big, that in the "Dark imperium" books Roboute Guilliman rides in one.
