  1. Dude you should take a look to the Orkz boyz. Those are the more crazy funny mfs out there. They think the color blue has magic luck powers, and they believe the UltraMarines always wins cuz they wear blue. They also have "The Power of ImaginaaaatioOoOoOon!". The put 4 pieces of garbage together and if 4 of them believe that thing is a tank, that thing becomes a tank.

  2. Fun fact, there was a real life poet named Lionel Johnson who wrote the poem dark angel which was about humans hidden homosexuality. Back in the days there was a joke that the dark angels dark secret was that they were all homosexual.

    Konrad kurse is a Apocalypse now reference. Colonel Kurts and his killer, the assassin M'chen (Martin Sheen)

  3. If you like Emperor's Children – you should check "Rylanor's Last Stand" – the story of an Emperor's Children member that despite everything stay loyal and waited millennia to enact his righteous revenge.

  4. I'm not sure if others mentioned this, but Legions 2 & 11 are glossed over in this video because lorewise they are expunged from the records completely. There are some cagey references in the lore to them having been purged before the Horus Heresy even occured, their Primarchs having been executed, and their surviving marines having been spread out across the other Legions (possibly explaining why the Ultramarines had so goddamn many marines sorta out of the blue.). The reason why those two are forgotten while the later heretics are remembered is mainly because it was possible to hide the treason of the 2nd and 11th, but once half the Imperium revolted and turned to Chaos, that was a completely different matter. There's no hiding that.
    Now, the REAL explanation for why the 2nd and 11th legions are unknown is because Games Workshop simply kept the spots open so that players could simply make up their own primarchs and legions to use and play with, because the hobby used to be more free-form.
    On another note, the touching grass thing is just a meme from Twitter to tell someone to get off the internet and go do something in real life. So I think Bricky was just saying he'd been offline for a while doing RL shit, hence the shirt change halfway through the video.

  5. Ey you said ask you to watch something so as to revive it…?

    I recently discovered "If The Emperor Had a Text To Speech Device," it is a series created originally by Bruva Alfabusa…

    If you watch that and lead to its resurrection, I will give you the deed to my villa in the mountains in Bulgaria and I will give you enough money to pay your bills until the ends of your days. It would be fantastic to watch that series along with you, it's VERY funny and eventually VERY informative and thoroughly interesting throughout. Everyone in the Warhammer community absolutely adores the series, Bricky referenced it in this video with the Salamanders' leader animation of him saying: "I would like to pet this creature" (it was a nuclear toad lol), and the ONLY issue with it is that Games Workshop made their copyright claims policy even stricter and so Bruva Alfabusa decided to cease the project despite how massive it got so as to be able to keep the series online as-is without having to risk it all being taken down.

    Please please please…I don't care if you do a "Warhammer Wednesday" style viewing that takes 2 years. I say 2 years because there are 34 real episodes, 3 spin-off (but still amazing) Primarch misadventures episodes, and like 6(?) Q&A episodes which are hilarious, and some in-universe tabletop game sessions which I just watched that also made me giggle to no end, so all in all, there's like 52 videos that are great to react to (I would maybe skip two of them, the one with the cat-people and one other one, which I cannot recall unfortunately), and I know for a fact you will enjoy them, and it will certainly bring in a healthy quantity of views.

    And again, if you watch like, at least 45 of the 54 video playlist, I will give you my inheritance and like 50 grand in whatever currency is relevant. Or if you accept in stead of property: likes and positive comments under your videos, I'd happily give that too, it's kind of nice knowing where you will retire to so, up to you x) Watch all 52 and I will be flipping coins in a bar in Istanbul deciding on whether to mail you the deed anyway, so, please do check it out. Even if you don't upload your reactions, just knowing you watched them will be deeply satisfying as you'll have tread another mile from the shores of pedestrian-ism regarding 40k. Pardon the long comment, thanks for the great videos, you two are great fun.

  6. One important thing to understand why Lion is the way he is is the fact that he grew up in a world full of chaos mutated monsters having to survive completely alone for decades until he finally saw a human for the first time. This left sequels in his personality, paranoia, great difficulty in understanding the emotions or motivations of others even in simple contexts, etc…
    The Blood Angels try to be optimistic about their curses, trying to use that rage against the enemies of the empire, appearing more to the common people and avoiding arrogance because they know that they are far from perfect. His chapter lord, Dante, is the oldest loyal marine, not dreadnought, he has been chapter lord for over a thousand years and who knows how old he was when he reached that position. He is currently the second most powerful and responsible person in the Empire as regent of the Nihilus Empire.
    The Alpha Legion trick is kind of boring for me because when everything is a lie nothing is true, when everyone is Alpharius no one is Alpharius.

  7. This severely SEVERELY undersold the Ultramarines.
    The Ultramarines are….the best. Like he sort of said it, but didn't elaborate at all.
    They are the Greco-Roman Marines. Centurions, Legionnaires, marble temples and cities, columns, etc.
    They are, aside from the Salamanders, the most humanitarian of all Space Marines.
    Where other Marines brutally conquer planets and leave them in ruins, the Ultramarines elegantly and efficiently conquer worlds, rebuild their infrastructure, install, a stable and fair government, eliminate corruption, and gain the undying loyalty of the world's people who suddenly have much better lives.
    This is why the Ultramarines alone have an entire empire.
    An empire of 500 star systems.

    Their star systems are hyper efficient, and royal, and EXTREMELY well trained, and ultra productive.
    Space Marine worlds are not required to produce Imperial Guard regiments, but the worlds of the Empire Of Ultramar voluntarily raise countless regiments of Ultramar Auxilia. Theoretically, TECHNICALLY, they're the Ultramarines are simply the Ultramar PDF – Planetary Defense Forces – typically a lesser military force on most worlds. Merely a last line of defense.
    But the Ultramar Auxilia are so highly skilled, and well equipped, and numerous, that they're far more effective than most Imperial Guard regiments, and there are so many of them that there are more than enough to defend Ultramar, AND still fuckloads of them to send out into the galaxy to fight as if they were Imperial Guard regiments, AND as forces fighting alongside the Ultramarines themselves.

    Ultramar is run in a way to take extremely good care of its people. Everything is extremely fair. Things are designed as a meritocracy.
    The Ultramarines themselves are woven into the culture of the worlds of Ultramar.
    Families strive to train their sons to be the best possible, in hope that he may become an Ultramarine.
    Families take great pride in Marines who were part of their family.

    The Ultramarines have the purest geneseed of all Legions.
    Perfectly pure. Flawless.
    Where other Legions medical practices become lax or interwoven with superstition and ceremony, and their geneseed becomes defective or corrupt, the Ultramarines are meticulous and careful and rigorous.

    The Ultramarines are a secular Legion.
    Where other Legions fall to superstitions worshipping The Emperor, or their Primarchs, or curses, or the powerful daemons masquerading as the so-called "Chaos Gods", the Ultramarines simply recognize The Emperor as the greatest man of all mankind, their brilliant leader, and their creator.
    They're very formal and ceremonial, but in a military way, not superstitious or religious ritual.

    The Ultramarines are data monsters.
    They DEVOUR information, statistics, and patterns to generate logistical and strategic brilliance.
    They are unparalleled leaders, strategists, tacticians, diplomats, and negotiators.

    They're GREAT at every type of warfare.
    Significantly better than average at everything.
    But they're not the best at anything.
    They can beat the Space Wolves at every type of warfare EXCEPT the specific things the Space Wolves are obsessed with (melee).
    They can beat the White Scars at every type of warfare EXCEPT the specific things the Space Wolves are obsessed with (speed/mobility).
    They can beat the Raven Guard at every type of warfare EXCEPT the specific things the Space Wolves are obsessed with (stealth).
    etc etc etc etc.
    The Ultramarines are the ultimate soldiers.

    The Ultramarines are the "generic" Space Marines. Yea. Sure. That's technically true.
    (if you ignore their extremely heavy Greco-Roman themes)
    But that's not for lack of originality.
    Instead, it's because the Ultramarines are LITERALLY THE BEST.
    They're SO GOOD that they literally set the standard.
    VERY literally. Other Legions very literally follow the blueprint the Ultramarines created.
    Their Primarch, Roboute Guilliman, LITERALLY wrote the book (the Codex Astartes) that lays out all the rules that govern how Space Marines operate.

    The Ultramarines are also SO GOOD at recruitment and supplies and training and empire-building that they managed to grow their Legion to be 5-25x the size of any other Legion.
    Part of the reason the Ultramarines are "generic" is because an OVERWHELMING number of the Space Marine factions in existence literally ARE Ultramarines.
    When the Legions were splintered into 1000 Marine Chapters, some Legions simply had 1000 Marines and made a single Chapter.
    The Ultramarines made 25 Chapters.
    And in the subsequent millennia the absolute purity of the Ultramarines geneseed has ensured that it, above all others, is used to create new Chapters….who are then trained with the Codex Astartes.

    It is said that each of the 20(or 21) Primarchs embodies different aspects of their father, The Emperor.
    Horus embodied his ambition.
    Angron embodied his anger.
    Leman Russ embodies his want of glory.
    Vulkan embodies his drive to protect mankind.

    But Roboute Guilliman embodies his logic, his efficiency, his diplomacy, his genius, his wisdom, and his incorruptibility.
    Guilliman is said to be The Emperor's most perfect son, and the Ultramarines by extension the most perfect Legion.

    Saying the Ultramarines are "generic" is like talking about the Mongolians, and the Vikings, and the Catholics, etc etc etc….and then when you get to Ancient Greece and the Roman Republic/Empire you say "These were the generic humans. They were good at stuff."
    Like….WTF?
    THEY'RE THE GREEKS AND ROMANS.
    THEY SETUP MOST OF THE THE FOUNDATION FOR THE WESTERN WORLD.

  8. The race closest to being the "good guys" technically is the Tau (just thinking if you like the Salamanders). I remember when they first released so many imperium fan boys got annoyed because they wanted humans to be the good guys as it were, so games workshop over time have made the Tau have a few more murky things going on in their background sometimes. Regardless I always found them interesting, also you can use the Hot Fuzz meme "For the greater good" with them. 🤣

  9. So apparently the 2nd and 11th legions were meant to be the player made "do whatever you want" legions, and as the lines progressed, the lore changed to those Primarchs and legions did something that has never been explained that was so awful they were stricken from all records (hence Bricky not saying anything/static). I always find it interesting when you can see the tree rings of canon changes.

  10. I am Alpharius is both a joke and an actual thing, this is accomplished by having every single member of the Alpha Legion pretend to be Alpharius, and it is only possible because Alpharius and Omegon are the shortest Primarchs and their legionaries are abnormally tall

  11. So the reason why some of the Legions he skipped over, it's because there's no information on them once so ever. Only that they've existed, but supposedly they've done something so awful or whatever, that they were completely expunged as a whole by the Emperor, or something and there's no record on them at all. Also, the opening sound bite for Legion 12 will become very familiar to you soon enough lmao

  12. I generally prefer to think of the ol Iron Warrios as not necessarily the siege legion, but more so the cynical, old-school, blue-collar get-shit-done-whatever-it-takes faction. Just so happens that they mostly needed to do a lot of sieging during the crusades, and they threw themselves at it and did very well, if rather costly at times. But when they decided to build a fortification, they build the Iron cage. They needed more warriors to continue the fighting since chaos ain't known for having the best recruitment pool, they make demon-engines and, erm….that one thing that they did to make new space marines. If they needed to get to something on the other side of a brick wall, they're gonna get through that wall, whether by walking around it, blowing it up, digging under it, even if they have to resort to bashing their own nigh-unbreakable skulls on it. They're the old veteran guy at the metal shop that's maybe seen to much and is mean to everyone, but you give him some stupid hard project to do, he'll puff on a cigarette, insult you a bit, then get that shit done.

  13. I love the Blood Angels, because their primarch was the closest thing they had (besides Vulcan of course) to a truly good Primarch, who looked at their marines – outcasts that were shunned by the rest of the imperium because of how brutal they were on the battlefield, – and knelt before them himself, because he felt that he was the one who needed to prove his worth to these warriors who bled for a thankless galaxy.

    And when he died, they lost the ONE person in the world who truly cared for them and saw them as more than monsters, and they fucking slaughtered every heretic and demon in their way while under the effects of the Black Rage, pushing a large portion of the invading heretic faction during the Horus Heresy back.

    I would HIGHLY recommend either MajorKill's video on the Blood Angels/Sanguinius, or Oculus Imperia's video on the Blood Angel's history. They're both fantastic.

    For Sanguinius.

  14. Lion El'Jonson of the Dark Angels and Leman Russ of the Space Wolves actually had a rivalry during the great crusade. It culminated in them having a fist fight with each other which lasted more than 24 hours. Eventually Jonson knocked Leman out with a sucker punch because Leman Russ started laughing at how stupid it was that they were fighting each other. Despite this rivalry they both deeply respected each other and their legions. Lion El'Jonson actually discovered the Wolfen Curse (space wolves turning into werewolves) that plagued Leman's legion, but out of respect for Leman he kept it secret and never told anyone else.

  15. Pls look at the trailers for Paraworld, maybe then there will be some sort of a sequel ^^'
    It has dinosaurs, it has warriors, it has portals and you will probably never hear of it ever again. It's pretty much forgotten if ever really known tbh. But the Cinematic opening is really awesome though
