0:54 Because this is set in the 31st Millennium. 30k and 40k are basically separate epochs of the same franchise. Think of it like the Pequels and Original trilogy in Star Wars. In 30k, things were more uplifting and hopeful, before the fires of the Horus Heresy tore down the dreams of the Emperor, half of his sons and their legions were consumed by the darkness, his remaining loyal sons died or eventually vanished and their own legions were divided into smaller pieces, and he was put on life support on the Golden Throne. The Solar Auxilia are a force of the Imperial Army that could put up a decent fight against the Traitor Astartes. Their weapons would be platoon support for lesser Imperial army units, with volkite, microwave, blasters being commonplace. 8:26 And there's a lance strike, from a railgun mounted on a warship a couple miles long.
"uplifting and hopeful" That's a wierd way to say, "if your rediscovered enclave of humanity doesn't want to join peacefully and is too deviant from the Imperial Truth, we will genocide you with the speed and brutality of the fucking Flesh Tearers."
For someone who is a fan the Tyranids, I would’ve thought Nick had some knowledge of Warhammer’s lore. Especially in the 30k century being when Horus did his little hereby tango. Then the Imperium slowly rotted over 10 thousand years and added being religiously zealotus to their every day lives against everyone’s will.
I know exactly what video you're talking about. "I measure the insanity of OPs by counting the exact amount of time this phrase enters my mind: "I am going to die, *RIGHT NOW* "
