Being a record of the atrocity that began the Battle of Calth, the death of the fleet tender Campanile, and the sundering of Veridian Anchor.

"The Campanile is still moving."
This play by pay in present tense of what is unfolding reminds me of the analytic reports of real-life disasters. It's engrossing. Well done.
I’ve never hated anything in fiction like I hate the Word Bearers
I'm on the edge of my seat here =)
The Ultramarines got what they deserved
185,000 Space marines, 118 Titans,a whole knight household and 1 Million Imperial Army units wtf literally all issues in current day 40k would get stomped by this force also lead by a primarch
Damn those… "inquisitive individuals" and their meddling with records.
thank you again for the amazing content. I often turn to your videos when i am dealing with my health problems. just listening to you talk about 40k lore is relaxing and helps distract me from what pains me. THANK YOU.
20:37 "Let them shing!"
Magnificent. Simply magnificent.
Looking forward to the continuation of this, your work is really excellent and amazing. Love hearing 40k lore from the view of 40k logging its own history ❤️
Thank you
My goodness this was amazing to listen to
This was excelent. Well narrated. I thank you.
KNF's description of the surprise attack at Calth is the best thing Abnett has ever written
Seriously gotta love how they used a simple fleet tender as a fleet tender-izer!
One of your finest episodes
Gulliman
Gwilliman
Rowboat Girlyman
The old rues still apply..there’s no replacement for displacement!
Amazing as usual
Oculus sounding like hes reading the 911 transcripts.
It is interesting to note that the Renegade chaos warband The Purge often employ this style of suicide attack on a planets surface, loading a ship with as much armaments as it can hold then crashing it into a planets surface at high speed.
It is a testament to the sheer durability offered by worship of Nurgle that some of their space marines emerge from the atomized wreckage of these craft to continue the attack on the surface.
My first Occulus video after catching up with his catalogue! Woohoo!
Throughout this whole thing, there was no line more shocking or horrifying than this: "The Campenile is still moving."
Jesus.
Death to the False Emperor
Greetings, Oculus. I wish to begin by congratulating and thanking your for another chilling work of ancient history brought to light. This humble scribe waits for future chapters upon Calth and the Great Betrayal with anticipation and dread equal.
I would like to enquire you as to the status of your previous chronicles upon the Badab War and Siege of Vraks. These have been immeasurably valuable to my own research into the subjects. But alas several chapters of both seem to be missing from the archives as their last updates hang from the proverbial cliffs.
My assumption is they've somehow been corrupted and await recogitation, for certainly no acolyte of the Logos Historica of your caliber would leave such works unfinished?
I shall eagerly await any future chapters upon these, and upon the Great Betrayal. Yours truly, a humble scribe.
Mark my words Scribe. Mark them well. The Ultramarines will have our vengeance on these Traitors.
So I'm guessing "Vehicular Genocide" Wasn't in the Codex then?
Another reason to love the Word Bearers ^^
Incredible work, as always. I find myself conflicted between a desire to chain you to your desk and force you to make more content faster, and savouring the incredible quality the wait between uploads provides 🙂
Excellent content and a great angle to approach this battle with!
A glorious rendition of an abominable period of imperial history.
Fantastic vid
A chilling delivery, sir.
Oculus Imperia: full of shit and fragile of soul
Were the Traitor Titans to be just left on the planet like the ground troops or were they tocbe ferried off-worrld?
Gulliman is the lord of logistics… and as any serious warrior will tell you, logistics are the foundation of war. The heretics wanted him absent from the war on terra above all else. Whatever is done unto the ultramarines was “undone” in mere months via Gullimans mastery.
Butt stuff Kaiju. We remember
Why in Throne would the Imperium name a vessel the "Remonstrance of Natharn Dune"? That's like an American ship being called the "Protest of the Taliban".
Guys help. This video has been out 3 days and I'm on my 6th watch.
Seriously though, this is FANTASTIC.
Pls keep it up your stuff is awesome
Thanks oculus!
Amazing series Oculas and the book by Dan Abnett was so phenomenal.
Calth forecast for the day is cloudy with a chance of shadowswords.
Meh.
good fuckin god, thats a hell of an starting shot.
This is great. Can't wait for the next part.
My dear Oculus you deserve more recognition for your amazing work
