The Severan Dominate! A Secessionist Empire Within The Imperium Of Man! Warhammer 40k Lore 

Where are the dominions 5 videos and will you ever do any more. Love you vids

Not no, but fuck no.

And get your ultimate death knight today

I have to say i really enjoy your videos, YOU are the reason i got into 40k and i had a blast ever since so I’d like to repay you. I have been reading the Survival Medicine handbook 4th edition by Joseph and Amy alton and it’s a must have if not the most important book to have, i know a reply on an ad plug doesn’t inspires seriousness but if you read this PLEASE check it out. With the way things are going you might not have the chance to do it later

no one with an iq over the room temperature will think this is a good game , if anyone does use the link its strictly to support you .

Fair?! Shit, that's almost altruistic-charity-for-destitute-mentally-handicapped-cripples level of behavior for the Sado-Elves lmao

No accounting for the whims of the whip weirdos

It's fair even by human standards. They didn't betray him at all as he no longer upheld his end of the deal and so they were not obligated to do so for their side. These drukhari were actually downright civilized in their business.

3. Get wrecked when a hostile xenos faction like the Orks or Dark Eldar decide to stop by.

​@@nick0875 4. Get a phone call as to why you 50 years behind in your taxes of wax buttons.

5. Panic, call up your weird friend with all those odd tattoos who "knows a guy" that can help

"evil has standards, sir"

Lawful Evil masquerading as Chaotic Evil.

Well on positive note he didnt piss of Necron dynasty and nids while at it and no one cares about what Tau has to say... so he didnt piss off literally everyone, but on comedy sake it would been funny if hive mind would crash into sector with "What did you say about my mother?!?!" and Necron lord "ffs keep it down you twats, i was sleeping over here, or do i need to bitch slap you into nonexistence?!"

And then it is revealed the Dominate's capital planet is a tomb world.

@@Hellsong89 Necron lord: *bangs on the ceiling of the tomb to complain about the noise all those irritating new neighbors are making.*

@@Hellsong89 Tyranids and Tau haven't reach this point any way.

Doesn't really matter forerunners from halo would cut all of the races you listed in half in a millisecond. The crazy feats of the ctans are comparable to young forerunners before they hit tier 1 in tech. The only difference is the ctan see it as a huge feat the forerunners saw it as childs play. Don't even get me started on how the precursors would just make everything kill each other without being physically around in warp or the material world but what do you expect from the gods of the halo universe

Yeah, in my head rebellious governors are the main reason that the guard are deployed

The guard are deployed for everything. They are the main arm of the imperium.

Yes please. But it has to be stated that unrest and wars make the more sinister elements flock to unrest and try seize the opportunity. But I can see If secession is made smoothly it might fly under radar longer.

The dominate was one of my favorite -Projects- lore bits.

Oh sick really? I always thought Perturabo having his own government maybe out east near tau space would be pretty cool.

...Redpill me on these Iron warrior star kingdoms

@@Delectable_Medley I have literally told you everything we know about them. They exist. They have similar living conditions to most of the imperium (from great to awful)

@@Jsay18 may I ask where did you get this piece of lore?

It's a shame that game line ended. I *loved* the brutal mechanics of Dark Heresy 1st/Only War. And the unit creation rules were delightful.

@@RedDuke03 There are still fans playing and making Fan content for those games. Deathwatch has Shas'O making more 30k stuff, The Good The Bad and The Alpha Legion just got updated. The Only War Vehicle fansplats just got another book too.

@@Jsay18 I've been looking for an OW group near-ish to me, or online, but they all seem to be forgotten.

GW loves to leave campaigns unfinished.

@@robertnelson9599 More of a Fantasy Flight issue this time.

Warboss. There is an imperial gaurd regiment on that would over there with a lot of good loot for your boyz. My world? Barely enough boyz to stop a single clan. It would be a waste of your time.

in the words of arch. himself 'details'

It is indeed a problem when the Planetary Imperial nobility begins to believe that they are more important than the Imperium of Man.

IGTOW

There are more than you’d think, but less than you can count on your fingers.

"Target Practice" don't make me laugh. The Imperial Guard Regiment structure doesn't have the numbers to conduct continent-wide fronts, let alone across multiple planets. The only books that got a somewhat close numbers to reality are the Vraks books, and there the Kriegers, instead of a "Winning WW1 Army" they act like its 1914 and the war will be over by Christmas, throwing men into massed machinegun fire when there are much better ways to break trench systems than throwing bodies. No matter your argument, if you wish to, GW has almost always failed at actual scale other than "BEEG GALAXY, 3 MILLION PLANETS" and make you fill in the blanks. Stated standard numbers for a Imperial guard regiment is 9,000 - 20,000. That is on average smaller than a modern American Division, we had 90 of those during WW2 with a third of our Contemporary population, AND we were able to staff our entire industry to support our allies too. And planets only send these regiments out almost one at a time? I thought this was an Empire of up to 40 Quintillion Humans, not a Nation of a mere 300 Million?

Well, in fairness, there is a plothole of sorts which is where is the Ordo Xenos of the Inquisition? Hax could have, in theory, just rung up the Ordo, the one specifically tasked with purging Humans collaborating with Xenos against the interests of the Imperium, to investigate and prove Severan XIII was working with the Eldar. A single inquisitor should have had no issue dealing with Severan, but they were conveniently left out of the story. Put another way, the writers had to contrive a little to let Severan work as a story.

A lot of rebellions last a while because of how slow the Imperium responds. GW rarely mentions the more successful ones.

Cuz it's in the Imperial Guard RPG by FFG, like with the Dark Heresy stuff and whatnot. So of course there's lore there. Especially cuz it'll allow you to also play as the Secessionist forces if wanted.

Gods work

Best comment

The Inquisition may not approve of your actions, but the secessionists feel you're doing the right thing.

But what about... RAID SHADOW LEGENDS?!??!?!

👍

One more deterrent is that The Imperium ensured that humanity is crippled beyond repair and anyone without it, is doomed, like a Company that adds Addictive Substances to their products.

Worthwhile if you worship the geek God tho "Just as planned" heh heh

Not to mention that they won't have the logistics base that the mechanicus provides

Otis prefer fighting strong opponents

@@UNSCrearadmiral You just need to find some tech-relics and recruit some hereteks to replace the adeptus mechanicus services you need.

It's almost like there's way too much red tape and beaurocratic nightmare to rule effectively, like the Imperium is based on the insanity that was the HRE, a grossly incompetent confederation that only ever survived because of their population size, military strength, and diplomatic ability.

When did the inquisition ever do there job?

@@malaficus most of the time all things considered.

Even they can't be everywhere at once.

@@elysiankentarchy1531 I know but it is a fun meme: The inquisistion. Exterminatius the mess they made.

Rrr

The calixis sector and its surrounding areas make up the bulk of the 40k rpg, mainly due to it being an out of the way and not paticularly focused on bit of lore. The rpgs take place in the calixis sector(dark heresy), the koronus expanse(rogue trader) the Jericho reach(deathwatch), the screaming vortex(some parts of black crusade), the spinward front(only war), and the Askellon sector(dark heresy 2nd edition). The spinward front is the small part of the periphery of the calixis sector where the dominate have their power base and are facing their troubles, but it might be phesable to assume dominate forces are likely poking their heads into the other regions for potential allies or resources they can use, with potentially less success given the presence of space marines, chaos, rogue traders, the inquisition, and the general menagerie of hostile xenos.

Well it probably allowed them to expand more and fortify there holdings as imperial guard forces would be redeployed to help deal with the following chaos onslaught brought on by the great rift.

He removed those on purpose because "loud" people thought it was too distracting 😓 and I agree I love those old videos too.

@@ronnibech3376 hey thanks for the reply. Shame I rather like the music and coming back to them it’s odd to not have it there.

@@ronnibech3376 do you know anywhere to see the videos he removed like i don't want diveristy in 40k etc

@@King.Leonidas they should be in his new channel Archcast but I have not looked for them as i usually only use that channel for his RPGs he is DM for.

Unless one has access to DAoT weaponry... not very smart.

@@joaocosta3374 Even then.

@@joaocosta3374 well an empire with daot tech is going to be even more short-lived

Did you ever find models

Technically it’s all Chaos but whatever.

Well Vietnam itself irl was a adventure and grimdark. Heck you can even have a 40k version of a Rambo 2 plot were the catachan jungle fighters are sent to rescue some of of there captured comrades while the severen dominate try to "convince" them to defect or something. What would fallow would be a harrowing journey of loss and sacrifice as both sides attempt to secure the prisoners to further there efforts whatever they might be.

Plot armor, stuborness and sheer weight of numbers.

@@malaficus honestly having read more and more 40k novels. It's really just plot armor. Stubbornness I will give you. Numbers on the otherhand... as a student of military history it just makes me groan.

@@irontemplar6222 well GW can't do numbers and pretty much every Faction has plot armour

@@feosty5526 outside of the Tau, and chaos 13th black crusade. I'm not sure I agree with that

@@irontemplar6222 necrons are incredibly vulnerable when a tomb world wakes up, all it takes is a exterminatus All it takes is the imperium drop a few cyclonic torpedos whenever a tomb world wakes, the necrons won't be as much of a threat (obviously the dynasties would exist and they would cause problems and this really doesn't matter for the silent king) The tyranids are lucky that the imperium doesn't spam kill ships or fortify planets since nid ftl is slow They also suffer from the same GW having to nerf the faction to give thge others a chance (imperium and necrons ) Eldar: the race is dwindling and the numbers are incredibly low yet the continue to prevail in the 42nd millennium Orks: no plot armour really,
