@@Forestxavier20 What you need to do is stick a bunch of Tzaangors on a square base with the Rhino's footprint, holding up a palanquin/litter that the Thousand Sons infantry rides in. It would be a more productive use of all the Tzaangors than actually fielding them as infantry.
Listen, Pink Horrors are the chaos daemons transport. It just brings specifically blue horrors, which is about the same percentage of the daemons range that all of the units the rhino can bring of the SM
Most of Imperial and Chaos would pass just for having Terminators. Guard has Ogryns, and Admech has the Ruststalkers. There's probably a Chaos Daemon equivalent. Orks have Mega Armour Nobz, T'au have a choice of Stealth Suits or Crisis Suits (but Crisis suits are vehicles now for some reason). Idk much about Aeldari or Drukhari, but Nids would just submit Warriors.
@@bluestormpony and Drukhari has the Grotesques, Necrons have the Skorpek, Vottan have the Thunderkin, and Knights have the Arminger (D-, but it's the closest they have)
It may sound weird but I actually haven't seen an Impulser irl nor ever cared enough to look photos of it. I thought it was just a more elaborate/futuristic Rhino, I had NO IDEA it had a freaking pickup flatbed, I'm rolling right now. I really feel like kitbashing a couple of marines with banjos and stick them to an Impulser with stickers on its rear bumper.
The working "real" Rhino at GW HQ is just an M113 painted in Ultramarine colors and symbols, with fake extra smoke stacks on the side. And now I can't help but believe that there's a Rhino out there named "Gavin" because Mike Sparks's insanity fits right in with the Imperium.
FEAR NOT! The editor was taken out back and beaten with sticks for the editing mix-up at 10:30 into the video. He has been shackled to his desk to recover and think about this blatant failure.
@@WingsaberE3 You would think the very first thing any writer would do for it past it's initial release is up the capacity to 20. Then it could actually field warriors in a number that matters. It's such an oddball only carrying exactly 1 unit, and not even the max unit size.
It's so funny how much I differ from the guys on the podcast, especially Brad, because -I play Space Marines -I think the Rhino looks cool -I think those Marines with the big dumb guns who's names I forget look cool (the indirect ones that were briefly busted) -I think the Wave Serpent looks cool -I think Harlequins _should_ be removed as a faction and just be a different color of Eldar -I think the Harlequin transport looks fine but not as good as they claim it looks And yet I still really enjoy the podcast despite taking constant jabs at my torso. That said, Brad does like food and drink with banana in it, so he can't be all that bad. (See this was just to prove I also listened to the audio version)
chimera kind of looks like a soviet BMP. It feels at place on the frontline of a battlefield, and its ability to provide fire support to dismounting troops while also being durable enough to resist small arms means it makes sence in an army full of squishy meatbags. The taurox looks like a regular ass truck. Why would it be on a frontline.
@@exoticbreadstick8661not a huge fan of the Taurox since it should have been a half track or just a truck not a weird H track thing in my opinion, but it would actually make since for motorized/mechanized infantry riding it to the front or a command staff using it to get around quickly like a German half track or the American Jeep respectively while the vehicle itself never or rarely actively fights because well…truck. 40K being a war game and every unit needing to be able to fight is what hurts the Taurox as it’s forced to fill a role it really doesn’t make much sense for given over IFVs exist already.
@WilhelmScreamer there are some pretty decent wheel kits out there for the Taurox which really bring home the MRAP feel, Zing Industires and Victoria Mini's spring to mind, though if you want to stay GW for some reason a Goliaths wheels will probably fit with some effort and plastic card.
@@CdrChaosGo to a GW store, ask one of the veterans there - the longer the neckbeard, the better. Chances are you'll get a bunch of rhinos thrown at you, since he'll have at least a dozen more rhinos than he needs
The F-150 Impulsor comparison is perfect. largely because the only reason F-150s look like that is the increase in cab size. The bed has barely changed. There are tiny little Toyotas from like, the 70s, with the exact same size bed. Its insane.
@@specs.weedle you did not capitalize that you were feeding them to the DISTRACTION CARNIFEX. henceforth, you will now be fed to the DISTRACTION CARNIFEX.
Chaos Tax is getting high here! Just give us a Daemon Engine TRANSPORT where if it has less than full Wounds it might randomly start eating the models inside it to recover them, and then make an Angry, Nerdy, Stinky, and Pervy version for the divergent Legions.
Our only target is an episode by Friday morning, Thursday then became the norm, and now the editor is crushing himself to try for Wednesdays. I can't promise the Wednesday releases, but if the episode is ready we'll be releasing it.
You know you gave the devilfish a B, but you gave the wave serpent a D. Even though those two models are practically the same thing. I'd argue that the wave serpent should at least get a C, because all the craftworld tanks use the same basic design.
Ya'll were already one of my favorite Warhammer channels, having Digimon world music(took me till adulthood to finally figure out how to properly raise digimon in it) just boosted ya'll into the stratosphere for me.
I really like these episodes. I like to look at model reviews and stuff like that. Would an episode of this nature around each faction's Gulliman be entertaining?
Just a heads up, turning Pick-ups into war machines is an extremely powerful and cheap way to create and mobilize a monster force. They are called "technicals". Look up the "Great Toyota War", where in Chad and Libya armies confronted each other, one with massive stopping power (Mi-24 helicopters, 6 airplanes, 300 T-55 battle tanks, multiple artillery and 8,000+ soldiers) and a much smaller force of Chadians (you heard it here folks, a literal army of Chads) with essentially nothing but some rifles, and a fraction of their size. They won the entire war by converting the Toyota Hilux (roughly 400 of them) into fast, all-terrain vehicles with greater mobility and the ability to re-position, out-flank and out-maneuver the Libyan army, with essentially Anti-air or light anti-tank/heavy anti-infantry weapons platforms on the back (think autocannons). The big turning point was when in a single 18 hour battle, the Chadians managed to take beat an army of 5,000 Libyan soldiers, killing 800+ and destroying 92 T-55 battle tanks, at the cost of 18 soldiers and 3 Toyota Hilux's. Wars win off of functionality, never aesthetics! When you min/max, it doesn't matter if you're driving a truck that literally can't even stop an AK-74 round from going straight through the entire vehicle, even the engine block, and killing somebody, because you're never going to be hit in the first place. :) Making this comment because of 13:50 I heard what you said! I hate pick-up trucks, and I especially hate pick-up truck drivers (on the road), but I would never insult the god given design of the Toyota Hilux. (This is a true story, feel free to look it up! The Chadians won the war, in the sense that they were finally able to bring the war to a close and peace talks to ensue as the Libyans were the ones trying to take their land)
@@De_La_Evo I mean the Technical is functionally similar to chariots. Lightly armored, fast and equipped with a ranged weapon. Able to carry a small amount of troops exactly where they need to be and get back out fast. Even modern special forces guys have been known to bop around in very lightly or even basically unarmored dune buggies and trucks with half a dozen machine guns, TOW missiles, recoilless rifles and grenade launchers bolted to them. Depending on the terrain a bunch of well coordinated guys moving fast with long range weapons can punch way above their weight. Especially with future gubbins like melta guns, lascannons and cyber-eagles or servo-skulls. Not for every foe but hey for kicking the hell out of uppity rebels, criminals or feral xenos, a truck with a big stubber is still a good deal.
coincidentally in 10th the Rhino bans every primaris armor type and the impulsor the old-marine armor types. They got rid of the previous keyword though so it's all fine suddenly.
Man, if there is an episode to watch while mostly being an audio listener, this one is definitely top three thanks to your editor. And not just the crazy rhino intro images, but all the little details throughout the rest, just added so much more to the dumb jokes. (Also audio editor was on point as well, lets' not forget them)
I love this video, the chaos and Tyranid descriptions had me laughing. someone needs to tell GW to make a transport for the ones that are missing, especially tyranids. by the way you could have graded the tervigon.
Honestly surprised you guys didn't refer to the Impulsor as the Toyota Hylux of the Space Marine arsenal when you brought up the comparison to a pick-up truck. It is after all the kind of vehicle you could cobble together in a junkyard to use as a cheap all-in-one transport and mobile weapons platform.
Massive s/o to the editor for slipping in that clip of an M113 during the Razorback section. Also, bear in mind, the real-life "box with tracks plus gun" fought in Vietnam & Iraq...
There's actually a growing trend in the US, car companies are trying to sell (with a surprisingly large amount of success) impractical and badly designed pickup trucks and light trucks for suburban moms looking for something to buy groceries with. It's stupid, it's funny, it looks really dubm, ut for some reason, poeple keep buying them.
Damn, they really liked the Immolator -- probably cuz this video's so full of those, HOT TAKES, yaaaah Immediate edit : did this man actually just say "The Taurox has better design?" Am I being trolled?
16:20 5-7e Guard players remember being able to shoot 5 people out of the top. It's got better guns than the Rhino, you can actually just about match a couple loadouts of Razorback between the turret and hull mount. It's weapons are all pretty much anti-infantry though and not tank-like.
The worst thing about the impulsor was seeing the interior and thinking "damn glad I don't have to waste time painting this!" then realizing it's open top and having to spend extra hours on painting and weathering it
The impulsor is just a toyota pickup from the 80's discovered during the unification wars. It's like a dreadnought truck. It's still powered by the same engine.
I'd give the 1ksons rhino an A- they have that extra AP on their Rhino guns and their rockets aren't one shot per game. So they can expect to kill at least 1 model... per tournament.
I’m sure a billion people have already said this, but the Rhino is based on an IRL US military vehicle; the M113; colloquially known as the battle taxi. The thing is literally just a metal box with tank treads and a 50 cal. bolted to the top. In addition, it has a modular design, allowing you to attach ridiculous crap to the back of it (ie the razorback) for added absurdity.
It says a lot about the crew of poorhammer that they have Digimon PS1 references but on the mention of a box we didn't get a Firaeveus Carron pop up on the side of the screen.
25:37 Plottwist: 75% of all of my Orc Vehicles are actually vehicles of other factions I just cut stuff away from and instead glued orcy spiky things to, to the degrees that I'm actually thinking about usine 3 or 4 small tau drones strapped together as some sort of 'flying transport shield' for my Big Mek xD
The only transport that does the “we only carry 5 man squads” right (other than the Starweaver) is the Aeldari Falcon, and that’s because Eldar have the various Aspect Warriors, which do just fine in 5 man squads. Especially if they have a Falcon backing them up. It still isn’t great, but there is at least support in the list for 5 man infantry squads.
Not gonna lie, the Adeptus Mechanicus should just get access to Rhinos, Land Raiders, and Chimeras. I mean, they manufacture them. They should be able to just go into the showroom and take a few out of inventory. Theta-Alpha-3: "Bzzt, bzzt! Transport required to forward our strike team the battlefield. Skorpius Dunerider + undergoing service = transport not available. Shall we acquire one of the Rhinos from the showroom floor? Observation = There's a whole bunch of them! Bzzt, bzzt!" Delta-Beta-1: "Bzzt, bzzt! Negative! Negative! All of those are to fill an order going to the Ultramarine chapter next week. Bzzt, bzzt!" Theta-Alpha-3: "Bzzt,bzzt! Okay, how about one of the Chimeras then? Bzzt, bzzt!" Delta-Beta-1: "Bzzt, bzzt! Request denied. Those are ready to be shipped to the Cadian 335th on Sondheim V. Bzzt, bzzt! Theta-Alpha-3: "Bzzt, bzzt! Wasn't Sondheim V subjected to exterminatus? Therefore, Cadian 335th regiment = completely destroyed. Bzzt, bzzt!" Delta-Beta-1: "Bzzt, bzzt! Hey, don't ask me bro. Transit paperwork = done + cogs of the imperium grind forward. Can't go back now. Bzzt, bzzt!"
The Devilfish has an underslung gun because the Tau were originally designed to evoke modern or near-future speculative warfare, inspired by the Gulf War and similar conflicts. High mobility and firepower with low sticking power, military drones, markerlights, "powered armour" that's more of a gun platform, a tight OODA loop, "local assets", etc. In the same vein, the Devilfish and Sky Ray are direct sci-fi reskins of attack helicopters; rather than the APCs that Imperial factions took from World War-era combat, the Tau were drawing from the imagery of Afghanistan and Vietnam. The underslung burst cannon evokes the nose guns you might see on Hind or Chinook helicopters. Look at the side hatches of the Devilfish, and imagine one of them open with a Fire Warrior door-gunner leaning out.
The other Rhino trait of the Devilfish is that it can’t transport Kroot or Vespids. Even though other than Breachers, Kroot are the only other thing you would ever want to transport up-field. And like, why? Are the Tau just racist enough to not allow their confederate xenos onto their buses? Do Kroot leave too many tablescraps on the floor?
