Cruisers for me. Beat anything you can't outrun and fast enough to flee from a battleship or battlebarge. Excellent jack of all trades ships.

@GrimDarkNarrator 6 лет назад

Good balance between speed and firepower indeed.

@anonymouscommenter7578 5 лет назад

When you realise some escorts were the size of Imperial Class Star Destroyers

@GrimDarkNarrator 5 лет назад

Time to pack our toys and stay in our own universe.

@richardvaldes3959 6 лет назад

How do you get the boarding torpedo job, jesus christ if there was ever a job for war servitors

@GrimDarkNarrator 6 лет назад

Actually that's a pretty standard boarding action especially for Space Marines. Except those torpedos are huge, being able to hold a full squad with terminators.

@martinsach5599 6 лет назад

Servitors are too dumb and vurneable, when facing dark (or simply seditious) mechanicus personell. Boarding is much about decisions in the batle (to wich subsystem will we press?, will we stay coherent, or should we separate to risk our strenght in numbers for more tactical flexibility? Should we besiege and destroy the enemys strenghtpoint, or should we simply circumevent it to let potential counteratack source be, in exchange for time?) ALL those decisions are FAR beyond ability of simple war servitor. Even if the servitor is backed by own mechanicus priest, who basicaly remotely "drives" it and makes all decisions for it, the combination is not nearly as flexible and ussefull in the battlefield situation, as battlehardened veterans (WITH EXPERIENCES in boarding) of IG, or SM.

They should load boarding torpedoes with poisonous gas. Sure, the enemy might be able to seal the bulkheads in the general area of the ship where the torpedoes hit, but it would still do a lot of damage and render that area of the ship unlivable until they could find a way to vent the gas.

@Siathuan 3 года назад

@@whitemale2230 virus warheads are a thing, but spaceships - especially warships - are generally built with redundancies to survive being Voided, so you'll kill at most a section or two unless they enemy is already so battered they can't muster effective damage control. And at that point, a regular boarding party shouldn't have any problems.

@isimiel3405 6 лет назад

that moment when you realize that the cobra is about same size as a ISD

@attila535 6 лет назад

and has massively oversized weapons.

@GrimDarkNarrator 6 лет назад

I think frigates are slightly even bigger than ISD's :D

@Siathuan 3 года назад

Me, serve aboard a destroyer?! You are talking to the Lord Admiral of Battlefleet Ostindia! I have over a hundred ships under my command; sloops to frigates, corvettes to battleships! But would I serve aboard a destroyer? Absolutely! To serve the Emperor is to love the Emperor, and while I struggle to imagine what cataclysm would befall my fortunes to reduce me to a single escort, were such to occur, I would carry out my duties in the finest traditions of the Service!

Glad you like them!

@pbr-streetgang 3 года назад

Thanks for the vid sir.👍🏼👍🏼

@GrimDarkNarrator 3 года назад

No problem 👍

" Captain mount a frontal assault on that Chaos Battle Barge so my bridge crew can go to lunch. Thank you for your service." says the Fleet Commander.

@tysongardner2821 6 лет назад

Great video. Do they have an equivalent to the modern day air craft carrier in 40k? 👍

@Silentkilarz 6 лет назад

Tyson Gardner pretty sure battleships carry aircraft and thus fill that role.

@OctoBooze 6 лет назад

Basically the Emperor Class Battleship would be the closest in analogy since it has 2 ordnance launch bays (Only ship on the Imperial lineup that has more than 1), while Mars and Dictator class Battlecruiser/cruiser would come closer to a half-carrier with 1 bay each. However these being ships of the goddamn empire of mankind, even carriers are fitted with formidable anti-ship weaponry, thus there really aren't any "Stay in the rear/middle of formation due to fragility" type of carriers as the Empire likes to get up and close and personal with their enemies. An honorable mention goes to Oberon class battleship since it also has 1 bay as well, but it's mostly used as a means to deploy defensive fighters instead of truly massing hit and run/bombers on the enemy ships.

@GrimDarkNarrator 6 лет назад

OctoMoose covered it but I would also like to generally mention that most capital ships do have fighters of some sort.

@OctoBooze 6 лет назад

Didn't know that bit of fluff, always assumed they only employed point defense turrets for defense against smaller targets if they lacked ord bays... Cannot wait and see what else you have to share on continuation of the ships of imperium series :) Keep up the great work!

@GrimDarkNarrator 6 лет назад

Next up are frigates, then probably cruiser classes. At least a couple of videos for each depending on how much fluff there is on each class :)

@steveblackwell5494 6 лет назад

I'll definitely serve on a destroyer why wouldn't you want to new server away from the fleet.

@phantomeye5199 6 лет назад

So many types of ship. Cobra and Viper Destroyers are huge ship. 6:57 Imperial Guard are aboard Imperial Navy ship are serve The Emperor's name.

@GrimDarkNarrator 6 лет назад

More types are coming soon :)

@frankcz7672 3 года назад

For the algorithm...

@camsellers00 6 лет назад

Hey my Dude can we get a gotrek and Felix audio book no more trad mark so troll slayer is a good book and is really interesting so that's my pitch

@GrimDarkNarrator 6 лет назад

Actually trademark is still right there as the property is alive and well (see Total War Warhammer). I was just braving the legality of it with the Empire Army series. I wouldn't be opposed to doing Gotrek and Felix but since I'm doing lore videos every day now, It would have to be a commission from someone, and I don't see anyone being that generous :)

Hello RU-vid algorithm. Please be helpful and bump up the subscribers of a RU-vidr I like.

@RocketHarry865 4 года назад

I wonder why in 40k Destroyers are smaller than Frigates?

@GrimDarkNarrator 4 года назад

Well, destroyers are part of the escort class, which are the smallest class of warship.

@RocketHarry865 4 года назад

@@GrimDarkNarrator so are frigates.

@GrimDarkNarrator 4 года назад

@@RocketHarry865 I've seen frigates depicted in a few contrary ways in multiple fictional settings. In some, they're just under cruisers, in others just above a corvette. I never saw any rhyme or reason to it.
