Warhammer 40k: Space Marine Battle Barge - Spacedock 

More info on Planetside available here. 40k fans can be assured that i'll be covering plenty of Warhammer tanks and armored vehicles on the show. :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-08z274Q-UW4.html

Imperial navy : "Uses copious amounts of guns n ships" Eldar : "Hight tech fast hit and run ship combat" Orks : "Throw stuff at it." Space marines : "Throw marines at it and ignore the problem until they call for pickup."

There's also this one ship in 40k called the Speranza. A small bit of lore from it is that the Speranza was attacking an Eldar Craftworld. The Speranza fired what could be its killing blow but the Craftworld managed to escape the projectile's trajectory path. In response, the Speranza fired what is essentially a wayback beam onto the Craftworld, sending it back in time before it escaped the trajectory path. The Speranza sent a planetoid-sized ship back in time so that it wouldn't miss.

At over Five miles long, some of those windows must serve multiple decks. Almost like a cathedral.

And few ships can withstand the efficiency of an Astartes boarding party. Unless they all roll a 1.

Epic miles long Space Cathedrals with extinction level firepower, manned by tens of thousands of crew and slaves, many of whom will be born, live and die within a single ship, spending centuries and sometimes millenia traversing the hostile void. 40K is awesome.

Personally I love the Gloriana-class of Battleship, made expressly for the Primarchs. Each one customized to the Primarch's personal combat style. The Conqueror was damned interesting, being heavily up-armored beyond what even a normal Gloriana would have, and equipped with Ursus Claws: building-sized retractable harpoon missiles attached to enormous chains that were launched at ships, burrowing deep into their hull before magnetizing and deploying grips, to draw the ship in closer so the Conqueror's short-range weapons could be used to utterly shred the ship. The Conqueror needed all that extra armor and weapons just to pull off that kind of attack, but they made it work. LoL Heck of a demotivator when you saw this huge battleship send tendrils out to snag your ship out of space.

*I am fortifying this position.*

I approve of this message.

AS YOU KNOW, MOST OF OUR BATTLE-BROTHERS ARE STEHTIONED IN SPESS.

1:08 The Codex Astartes names this maneuver Steel Rain.

"We are the reapers, riding the scything blades of mankind. They are but chaff, cut down by the Emperor's design. You wished to see what the Imperium of Man has to offer...look no further than these strike cruisers, and the men who command them." -Sergeant Alnor Traske of the Black Templar to the rogue Prince Lannaer.

Star Trek: Creates warp bubble and bend space! Star Wars: Ready hyperdrive to reduce vessels mass and energy profile! Warhammer 40K: Tear a hole in reality and fly through space hell cant get more awesome then that!

The biggest ships humanity has made in 30k--40k lore is the Gloriana-class Battleship. 19960 meters. That, ladies and gentlemen. Makes it bigger than the Eclipse-class dreadnought from Star Wars, also known as Emperor Palpatine's personal flagship, which has a length of 17500 meters. There were two Eclipse-class dreadnoughts. The Imperium built 20 Gloriana-class Battleships.

The Emperor will be pleased.

finaly. Imperium of Man ship I waited so long for this

all warhammer 40k ships is too epic

By the Emperor this was very well done, keep up the good work.

Let us not forget the famed battle barges used by the Angry Marines chapter, the Litany of Litany's Litany and the MAXIMUM FUCK, stoically sacrificed in the fight against the ruinous forces of Chaos.

Really, when you think about it, the fact that the Imperium is still making these things even after the Heresy is pretty damn impressive.

Nice summary, but one of the most memorable Battle Barge engagements for me would be the one that saw a Salamanders Battle Barge enter Commorragh inside the Webway in order to rescue the Strike Cruiser Forgehammer, which had been lured there by Asdrubeal Vect in order to let the Astartes wipe out the Commmorragh ruling classes, enabling him to seize power once the ships escaped.

I just love these cathedral looking battle ships!

Excellent use of the Dawn of War Soundtrack.

*sees space wolf emblem* For Russ and the all father!

For anyone asking why 40k vs insert universe always end the same way, because that is 40k. Whenever another popular sci-fi verse ups the anty 40k says hold my beer. Star Wars has Jedi, 40k has Librarians; all the cool powers packed into a gene forged Superman wearing a tank. Mass effect has...actually I don’t know really. I mean the reapers would be a decent fight for the imperium but nothing new. Halo has...well the master chief is literally a discount marine. I hate to say it but reference spartan augmentation and train, it’s marine me without acidic spit. Star Trek has...red shirts so not really fair. You gotta go to the niche literary settings to beat40k, lensmen or the Civilization do it nicely, but those settings are basically gods.

"You know what our ship really needS? A CATHEDRAL!"

Well done! All your videos are so well researched and the narration is spot on in terms of "tone" for the various games/stories that they cover.

I would love to see how your narration style plays up to describing Ork starships.

Emperor be praised! Finally, a warhammer 40k video!

Just found this channel by accident... You like 40k... SUBSCRIBED

I'm assuming someone has mentioned it already but you made one mistake early on when you said it's the largest ship used by the Astartes. They do still have several Gloriana class vessels usually commanded by whichever chapter kept the original name and homeworld after the codex split.

Thanks for doing this video. Great work.

In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only the rule of cool.

God I've been waiting for this, now I only half to wait for the battle barge vs executor class episode

Thank you !!!

Personally, my favorite is the Despoiler followed by the Emperor class. That being said, the battle barge is still really cool with all the awesome things the Space Marines did with them.

from the title, i actually looked forward to seeing a breakdown with explanations of the floorplans and the different sections of the ships.

Have all of my likes. No enemy is beyond the Emperor's wrath

After-work hours, Pizza and a new Spacedock episode. Nice!

Probably stretches the limits of your requirements, but I'd LOVE to see you cover the Arkbird from Ace Combat five. And maybe take some of the "suer fighters" like the X-02 Wyvrn, ADF-01 Falken, and CFA-44 Nosferatu over to Planetside.

The fight between SW and ST, has been irrelevant. These ships are the gods of space. Tanith first and only!

Omnissiah bless!

These videos are top-notch would love an episode on strike Cruisers!

Ooh, idea for a video! Emperator class titans (40k), or 40k titans in general.

For a 40k vs Star Wars scenario called 'Storm Troopers Nightmare'. Star Destroyer is crippled by a strange warship of matching size to their own. The emblem of a Black Maltese Cross on its prow. Numerous strange energy discharges are found throughout the ship. From out of these discharges emerge giants in black clad armor wielding strange ballistic pistols and swords with jagged teeth. Columns of Storm Troopers try to make a stand against the black clad giants, but somehow, they keep missing! Storm Troopers fall to their knees and weep in despair at the sheer futility of it all. The corridors of the Star Destroyer turn into a slaughterhouse. Halls and corridors are choked with blasted and dismembered bodies by the thousands as the crew desperately try to reach escape pods. The few survivors run from the sounds of screaming men, screaming chain blades, and exploding bodies hit by the ballistic weapons. The imperial officers who escape see the lights go out across the ship, windows are splattered in blood. They are thankful noise doesn't travel in space. Not a Black Templars fanboy, but face it, they are one of the most close combat focused chapters out there. And they are a 'Fleet Chapter'.

Actually the largest ships they Imploy are Gloriana class Battleships

Thanks for the great content.

Do a Space Marine video sometime in the future. Most of non 40k fan mostly likely think Space Marine are just a normal human train to elite status and fight in space but the truth is *PURGING WITH MY KINNNNN

music gives me chills everytime. EMPEROR PROTECTS

If you're going to do more 40k, I recommend a Retribution-Class Battleship or a Space Marine Strike Cruiser next. Your videos are always better than reading off a wiki.

Definitely one of my favorite videos on the channel...right after the ones for The Expanse.

Peace is through superior firepower.

You did not mention how the front of the vessel is specially reinforced for ramming as well as how much the Astartes love their ramming...

Nice video, I'd love to see more Warhammer 40k ship videos.

1:21 - "countless" armoured vehicles. Given that the ship carries only three companies, you're probably looking at a couple of dozen armoured vehicles at most. This is only 'countless' if you are an ork.

would love to see a Battle Barge go against an Imp SD. would be a glorious fight.

I do we'll see more 40k ship classes covered in the future

I hated using my battlebarge in bfg. Loved making cruiser squadrons and doing boarding actions constantly due to superior maneuverability.

finally! great vid, does the holy instrument of the emperor's wrath proud

oh my, thank you

Nice shout out to the Astral Knights! :D

By far the most badass space traveling ship's exist in warhammer how can you not like space cathedrals of war

can you do a video about Ark Mechanicus?

You wildly underestimated the size of a battle barge. Some like the gloriana were 20 kilometers in length and others used by the primarchs were possibly larger.

The sheer epicness 😍

What's this? A channel making videos on 40k ships? YES.

I just wonder how the craft can maintain position while firing its side cannons. No friction in space to brace your motion against, clearly using what appears to be reaction engines as the primary drive but no visible rcs thrusters in use, and, while flywheels can prevent spinning to a degree, they can't hold the ship in position from its own cannons' recoil.

Successful teleport strike!

still wish these videos were longer !

this was the first video of yours i ever watched, love your series..

Space Marines use to have access to all ships of the imperium until Horus showed the wider imperium why that's a bad idea also every Primarch had a gloriana class battleship which has enough guns to make a super star destroyer blush

Dark of technology ships are insane, imperium uncovered one with a massively intelligent ai that could fire a black hole across the solar system with guranteed accuracy and timing.

Good god man, you have a voice for this...it's like watching the history channel or something!

I would love more videos about ships in warhammer 40k

Here's a question.. who is the (great) voice of Spacedock? Very great work by whoever!

By the Omnissiah... It's so beautiful...

Problem with Star Wars that pound for pound, 40K has it beat in every category. It's not purely ship size - 40K ship are far tougher and more durable and have a stunning array of esoteric weapons. Star Wars can't deal with astartes teleport assaults (only void shield can block it, and SW doesn't have those). Or Vortex missiles? There is no "defending" against those, those missiles create a moving hole into hell itself.

A squad of SPARTAN IIs and/or IVs versus a single (or pair of) Space Marines with the Spartans carrying their heaviest weapons and having an idea the strength and capabilities of their opponents.

So good

Was hoping you'd do a full analysis and your thoughts on the design.

I suppose it's technically the second largest astartes ship... the Phalanx is much larger, though i suppose that's only one chapter.

I am looking for space marine strike cruisers. Seems to be something constantly overlooked. From standard chapter to the ones us d by Gray knights. Please do one on them.

"Can you please do a video on different types of Dalek spacecraft from the worlds longest running Sci-fi TV series "Doctor Who?" Dalek Supreme: "OBEY THE DALEKS! OR YOU WILL BE EXTERMINATED!"

It's been 3 1/2 years. Lets hope some 40k videos in 2021

The best part is post heresy battlebarges were neutered after the horrors of the Warmaster's ambition. The Glorianas were truly the mastercrafted weapon

Reminds me that I need to return some ships to the Imperial Navy that I "borrowed".

Battlebarge ready!

Hey man, I've been watching your movies recently and I've been enjoying them so far, and if I could ask, could you do the SDF-1 from Robotech?

Yes! Finally! The Emperor is pleased!

[HEAVY BREATHING]

The Battle Barge deserved more than 3 minutes, you know this.

You should do a series of video game ships such as the helghast ships from killzone

40k has great ship names.

Ah yes still a great video

how about the Cycnus from the black hole? an old film, but a classic from my youth

more 40k pls,also keep up the good work good video

Do the Retribution or Victory battleship. And if you do, do not neglect the way shields work. As in, Battleships have 7+ shield layers, each regenerating independently and each capable of tanking insane amounts of firepower. Once overloaded, a shield simply collapses and regenerates, coming back on-line at full power. And while the time it takes for a layer to regenerate varies depending on ship and crew, it can be as little as 30 seconds - 1 minute. What this means in practical terms is that you break trough the 1st layer, then the 2nd, then the 3rd, only for the 1st to come back at full strength. This often makes battles between two battleship last forever (and also why games like Battlefleet Gothic didn't do it that way - it would be not be fun for the player) and why sustained apocalyptic-level firepower is required to actually breach trough all the shields fast enough to damage the hull. Insane, like 40K is.

I pray to the Emperor for proper statistics on the Phalanx and Rock, I just crave for it.

Bit of an esoteric suggestion, but how about the Lightning-class Frontier Cruiser from the Traveller RPG?

*I borrowed this Battle Barge.*
