Welcome everyone to another episode of The Adeptus Ridiculous. Everything is as it should be this episode. I'm your host, D.K. Diamanty's. Bricky is going to be doing the teaching. So all is the way that it should be. And got to give a huge shout out to all of our patrons over at patreon.com slash Adeptis Ridiculous. You guys have absolutely annihilated the $4,000 goal.

So at some point, we are going to get on cam, get absolutely smashed and be reading Warhammer 40K fanfiction. So if you enjoy the podcast, head on over to patreon.com slash adeptus Ridiculous and support the podcast. But today is a very exciting day because Bricky, this has been, this has probably been one of the most requested, I want to say, or people have been looking forward to this the most. I've been looking forward to it a lot.

It's the Adeptus Mechanicus. I am more than stoked for this episode. It is a really good day to be an Admec fan. And I want to talk a little bit more about that in a bit, but first we had a thing we wanted to do before we start him. There is, of course, as of recently, a Warhammer game that has come out called Warhammer Mechanicus, and the opening title drop, I suppose, was called,

is very Mechanicus. It's probably one of the best lore-accurate games they've done, and the opening is just, it gives you those like cool chills that's like shivers down your spine where you're like, oh, that's bad ass. So good old, the three of us are going to be watching it together

because I do not believe you have seen it yet. I have many times, but you have not. And for the listeners, you'll be able to listen to it for the viewers. We will go ahead and have it on screen, but until them, are you ready, DK? Oh, yeah, let's go, dude. Look at those animations.

I love the way this. I know I aspire to the blessing machine and clean Oh yeah, as it will not decay and fail you

one day the crude biomass that you call the temple That's him? Yep Oh god that It's such a fucking good intro man That's so good when it was like,

I know it gets your loins going, man. It sure do. It sure do. So many questions, though, that I'm assuming will be answered. So that dude was just, is he just like an AI in that skull? Whoa. Whoa. Don't say those cursed letters ever again.

That's right. That's right. 40K world. They don't like those, do they? No, they don't. And we'll talk about why. We'll talk about why very soon. too. But yes, I mean,

at this point, he has eventually ended up as just a little school. But that's okay, because if I'm mistaken, he was a Magos, and that, there's like a million ways to pronounce Magos, Majos, whatever. Magos, I don't know what the fuck it's pronounced, but he has, uh, yeah, that's, he's got glory to the Domesia

man, he's already saved. It's such a, it's such a good title drop. The soundtrack of that game is nothing but whirring engines and like pipe organs. It's pipe organ dub step and it's the best fucking thing I've ever heard I love it. That is a hell of a

hell of a hell of an introduction to the Mechanicus though. I know it's perfect. It is so lore accurate. But now it's a time for Admec. This is such a good moment to be an Admec fan. I don't just mean like hey you're watching the Admec

episode like in general in Warhammer Admec right now are, because I believe in late 7th edition, is when they got their first codex, which was called the Skatari. And then in 8th, they eventually got their full Adeptus Mechanicus Codex. And as of lately,

they just got like nine new models. The dudes on the dogs came out like a year or so ago, maybe a little less. The big flyer, like Da Vinci-looking flyer is new. The dudes with the wings, that's new. They just got shown a new

Scatari, like, martial character. And that, That's coming out. The new AdMec Codex is coming out in April, which is this month. Wow. That is. The Mechanica's game is like the best 40K game ever made. I honestly argue it's the best.

You know, you may not have like the Donna Warfield, but it's, it's really good. Like, and also the ad mech lore is probably one of the best lore, like, pieces that's, that good old games workshop has done. Because they're a fantastic culmination of that. that like Tibetan monk vibe with the incense and the robes and all the oil combined with Martian tech and technophiles and a bunch of body horror and they're just

religious cults bunch of body horror like from what little I know about the ad mech it is just all body horror and just mechanic limbs coming out the wazoo on the big important guys and and axes and rods and creepy crawly arms and giant laser cannons and

oh I love the admec I actually have the dog rider miniboys I forget what they're called Sarah Cerberus Raiders or like sulfur hounds yeah yeah sulfur hounds that's right

the dog horses oh yeah she did get you those yeah that's right yeah the dog horses with the they breathe like phosphor. Yeah, it's super dope. I've been waiting to paint them until like we start doing those monthly paint episode, whatever thing of my boobles. So I haven't painted them yet. But man, they're so fucking cool. I know. And that's another reason why being ad mech right now is so great is because I don't know anybody, not even the most diehard anti-imperium chaos

worshippers that truly can look at admec and be like, eh, they look okay. There's just just they're so cool. I mean, maybe if you don't like the steampunk vibe, I guess, but just the, the way, like, you look at the, the higher tier people like call and tech priest Dominus and they, they have all this crap on them, but then like your foot soldiers have those giant glowing eyes and the, they're breathers, and they all have those oiled up robes. And, well, anyway, I'm, we're, I'm fanboing. We're both fanboing a little bit. Hell yeah. Yeah. We need to talk actually about the Mechanicus. So let's do that. Let me, Let me pull up my notes right here.

All right. Get after it. Because I'm excited. Fans are excited. Let's fucking go. So ad mech is the, obviously the short version of saying, Adeptus Mechanicus. There's a couple really interesting things about ad mech that I feel like it needed to be cleared up.

Because when we talk about ad mech, we're talking a lot, or the things that people get mistaken is what is the machine god, who is the Omnisciah, what is, like, why do they do their body augmentation? things like that. A lot of them just think like, ah, flesh is stupid or whatever. But there's a lot more that came from it. I'm definitely in that boat. I don't really know how it came to the point where they were like, oh, yeah, fuck flesh, robo stuff.

I don't know shit about the Omnisiah or machine spirits. I know, like, whenever they have machinery, they're just like, ooh, that's probably functioned by a machine spirit. I don't know how to build it, though. So I'm, yeah, I'm in that boat. Good. That's a good thing you're here then. So prior to the Horace heresy, there were two different names for the Mechanicus.

So do you remember when the Space Marines were originally known as like the Legio, the Space Marine legions, and then they became chapters after? It's because everybody actuallys you on that. Yeah, I know. Whatever, man. This one's a little bit more important, I would argue, though. Because Gilliman was like, all right, we got to do some fixes. around here. Now they're the Adeptus Astardis. Before the Horacee, they were known

as the Mechanicum. The Mechanicum of Mars, or also known as the Colt Mechanicus. Post, or Colt Mechanicum, I think, it's not important. Post is when they became the Adeptus Mechanicus. Though at the time prior, being the Mechanicum, what they were a normal human colony

on Mars. But they, like, this dates back to way back way. The moment Mr. Musk land his fucking car on Mars. That's when the ad mech came around. And they terraformed the shit out of Mars. It was like a garden world of like trees

and forests and rivers. It was lush. The atmosphere was breathable. You could walk around without a suit. They hard terraformed it. And during this like, you know, huge population. It was really good. Manufacturing, sure. But then we had the dark

age technology, which as you remember, they built a bunch of robots. you have your usual sci-fi, the robots rise against bullshit, you know, we all have it. Then with that became a giant amount of horrible, horrible death and destruction due to this war.

And then right following that, the elves fucked, Slanesh arrived, and then the age of strife occurred. Oh boy. And with the age of strife, don't go anywhere, everyone's stuck, and everyone's very upset. So what's the best thing to happen? The Civil War.

Yay! Yay! Because basically everywhere in the galaxy had civil war because of that. And so specifically Mars was particularly rough. Well, I have known about that because a lot of the planets just straight have died, but they had a pretty hefty civil war to the point where it completely destroyed their atmosphere. All of their terraforming processes, all of their nice trees, they just rad-bombed the surface and killed everyone.

and now the service of Mars is an irradiated Chernobyl-esque Martian red planet wasteland. It's back to normal. I was going to say in 40K, it seems like radiation is always a problem. Somehow, whether, you know, it's through a nuke or civil war or something, someone is always irradiating a planet to near inhospitability. It seems to be a favorite in 40K. they did it again. Of course.

They love it. So naturally with the surface being practically unlivable, they all went underground, obviously. The surface was covered in, obviously, the radiation problems, but also horrible, horrible mutants. Like, good old super mutant level shit from Fallout, just roaming the entire wasteland, giant colts of these horrifying hunchback mutants.

It was barely survivable. If the radiation didn't kill you, the winds, the rocks, or the mutants would. So those who lived underground specifically needed to work on some major facets to keep the populations alive for thousands of years, like 5,000 years the age of strife, right? Yeah, yeah. So there are a few individuals that were like, you know, you're Joe Schmoe mechanics, the guys who operate the life support systems, the water tanks, the food, crop harvest. These people were like revered because without the not these people's knowledge without their ability to keep things like working Mars would have gone extinct.

Yeah, everything would have died out. Yeah. And so because of that, it kind of started developing this kind of underground culture. Because when you think about it like a hundred years of being trapped underground will fuck up anybody. 10 years will fuck up anybody. 5,000 years of underground shenan. Manigans, these people who were so good at fixing shit, they were revered. They became the original first ever tech priests.

That makes sense. It would make sense that the ones that literally keep your society running with food, machines, fixing everything, would, yeah, that they'd rise up and be sort of the ones that are getting worshipped a little bit. Yeah. No different than when the emperor died in the, or quote, died in the her. and then everyone revered them as a god. Like, how can you really stop them all considering?

But so as time went and they kind of started developing this little underground culture, and a little side note, the red robes they wear, they were actually originally viable. They were used for like camouflage on the red Martian surface. And also, you know, like big Martian winds. It would be nice to have a thing on to kind of block all the sand and crap. No different than like people who wear stuff in the Middle East and all. you know. I never thought about the fact that on the red planet of Mars, a red robe could act as camouflage.

I thought they just did it because it looked cool. No, well, I mean, I mean, I'm sure they made it red first and then they retroactively made the lore, but it's still pretty cool. You're probably right. But that is a great little tidbit. Yeah, it's super neat. It's not just like the weird homina homina canticles. It's actually, at the beginning, there was a point. block the wind, block the sand, and also, you know, you can high with it. Pass that, this create this like cult mechanicus. So that's the main thing is the cult of the mechanicum, mechanicus. Whatever, I don't care.

They create like a fundamental religion by being stuck down here. I mean, can you really stop them? Why wouldn't they? So this is the number one most important thing to understand when it comes to the Mechanicus. They believe that the quest for knowledge is the true quest for divinity. It is all about knowledge. Everything involving the Mechanicus is about knowledge. And I'll tell you why soon. Because they believe that now originally underneath the surface of Mars was the Caton Shard of the Void Dragon, which I'm thinking, you remember that being the Necron model?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's super cool. It's, if I had any skills in painting, I would paint that up immediately because it's probably one of my favorite-looking minis that I've seen to date. It's pretty fucking awesome. But obviously with the Catan and the Necron's being so goddamn old, it was assumed that, because the Voyage Dragon's sheer existence fucks around with machines. He moves and, like, things go haywire and becomes static.

And it's the assumption that there was a shard of him, or something of that nature, deep, deep within the surface of Mars. And that's why machines would start going on the fritz and being really weird. So that kind of gives the idea that there is a deity known as the machine god that permeates through all machines. And it's the holder of all knowledge in the universe. So it's kind of a weird thing because you ask the question like, is the void dragon the machine god?

Well, no, no. It's kind of the idea that if someone, if a, if a vase, like, if you said, oh, God, please give me a sign that today will be a good day and then like a vase randomly falls over because two rats, because two rats were fucking next to the vase. Like, are the rats god? No, but, you know. Just a happy coincidence that So does that mean that the machine god Just straight up doesn't exist And it's just the fuckery of this Catan Voydragon shard That made the Adeptus Mechanicus believe That there was a machine god

It's possibly The problem is that this idea is so insane heresy Like heresy to the nth degree That's true, it would be, wouldn't it? So I imagine it's one of those types of deals where it started off with the mentality that, okay, these things are on the fritz. There's obviously like a deity controlling them. And then it just became part of their established religion. You know, even if something coincidental happens, you might attribute that to the work of a god or like a Catholic style, you know, the usual.

Right. You might attribute it. Yeah, yeah, it's a miracle. you might attribute that kind of thing to it. Though I guess there is a possible argument to be made that because, similarly to how the sisters are able to use pure faith to make miracles happen, perhaps the never-ending faith of the Mechanicus in the cult possibly make some stuff happen, I don't think it's supposed to be that way, but it makes logical sense, I think.

Because they still have souls, you know, they're not like, They're not like necrons? Yeah, yeah. So either way, that's the main creed is like the machine god is a god. It's a god. They believe it to be a god that it permeates through all machines is the holder of all knowledge. Right. Tell me if I'm jumping the gun here a bit, but since we've mentioned the Voydragon, the Chard, the Catan machines, I'm assuming it's like, do the Necron

ever interact with the Adeptus Mechanicus and like how do they view each other? Because one are like robots that kind of lost everything that was human about them. And then the Adeptus Mechanicus are humans that want to be robots. And they're kind of like they've got this weird parallel going. And I might be jumping again. You're probably going to talk about them later, aren't you? No, it's actually a pretty good question because that's the number one thing that a lot of people ask about is the question like, how do the Mechanicum view the Necrons? Because obviously, obviously the necrons are vastly more advanced than the Mechanicus are.

There are a couple interesting things that they say. You know what? Let me go ahead and give you a reading here. So basically there's a thing they have called, I'll get back to the Com Mechanicus in just a second, but they have a thing called the Quest for Knowledge. That's the ultimate quest. And it's the concept that all knowledge already exists

in the universe. It's already there. You just need to find it. All right. And so there are, I believe, is it 16? Yes, there are 16 universal laws that faith in the cult are defined by, which are two separate sets of eight precepts,

known as the mysteries of the cult mechanicus and the warnings of the cult mechanicus. Let me go ahead and read these to you, because this might answer your question in an indirect way. The mysteries of the cult mechanicus are life is directed motion, and the spirit is the spark of life. Sentience is the ability to learn the value of knowledge,

and intellect is the understanding of knowledge. Sentience is the basest form of intellect. Understanding is the true path to comprehension. Comprehension is the key to all things. The Omnisaiah knows all and comprehends all. Now, that might sound like a whole bunch of fucking gibberish, but the warnings of the cult mechanic is. The alien mechanism is a perversion of the true path.

The soul is a conscience, yes, conscience of sentience. A soul can be bestowed, or bestowed, sorry, only by the Omnisiah. The soulless sentience. A soulless sentience is the enemy of all. The knowledge of the ancients stands beyond question, The machine spirit guards the knowledge of the ancients.

Flesh is fallible, but ritual honors the machine spirit. To break with ritual is to break with faith. So that fourth one, the soulless sentience is the enemy of all. Yeah. As soon as you said that I was like, oh, I guess they're not big fans. No, no, no, no. Because they have no soul. And the Amnesiah and the machine god, the idea of like a sentience is the ability to learn the value of knowledge.

and a soul is the conscience of sentience. That's why they say like, you know, the machine spirit guards the knowledge. Flesh is fallible, but ritual honors the machine spirit. So if you don't do your rituals, you therefore are breaking your faith. And that's heresy. Right. So have they ever met? And since I'm assuming they, the admec would probably then fucking hate the Necron.

since, I mean, but if they have a shard of the Voydragon, certainly at some point the Necron's are going to want that back. Well, maybe. The Void Dragons is kind of a piece of shit. He's an ass. Fucker. But there is, it depends. Like, in the, for instance, the Mechanicus game,

the whole point is that the Mechanicus vessel found a Tomb World. And that's the whole point of the game. Oh, right. So, on one hand, they all, view the aliens as disgusting. But Mechanicus being fucking nerds are one of them is very much like

ooh, ooh, need more data, need more tech, need to learn, learn, learn, learn. And the other ones are like, you can't, fuck you. That's, that's heirs to shit, dude. The other ones are like, burn them to the ground, burn it all, burn the incense, come on, we got it. This is horrible. Let's get out of here.

So sometimes the Mechanicus have two mindsets on things. Because if you think about it, on one hand, Well, that's Zeno's perversion. The alien is not, you know, worth their time. But on the other hand, if all knowledge already exists in the universe, could this be it? So there's a slight bit of that issue of figuring that kind of stuff out. But besides that, there's one big thing that I do want to clear up because it's very important. The Omnisiah.

The machine god and the Omnisaiah. are not the same thing. Oh, really? I just kind of thought they were. A lot of people did think that. Yeah, I thought it was Omnisiah, parentheses, the machine spirit slash God.

I, ooh. No, so the machine God is their God. The Omnisiah, they believe to be the prophet of said God. Because he's the Messiah of the machine. Oh, it makes so much sense now. The wordplay. Oh my God.

I never picked up on the wordplay. I feel so stupid. I've been living in a fool's paradise. Living in a fool's paradise sounds great in 2021. Yeah, it does. But the true goal of the Mechanicus is to comprehend the glory and the nature of the machine god and the Omnisiah. If the machine god is, let's say, Allah, the Amnesiah is Muhammad. If the machine god is God, the Omnisiah is Jesus.

The Mechanicus believe that the Omnisiah is the Emperor. Oh, all right. The Emperor is the Omnisiah. He is the prophet of the machine God, whereas the rest of the Imperium deems the Emperor to be a God. They deem him as the prophet of the machine God. Oh, okay. which is why they sometimes clash a little with their ideas. Yeah, a little bit.

A little tad. So that's the major thing to understand about ADMEC is that the machine god is a god. The Omnisiah is the prophet, generally assumed to be the emperor, and knowledge is the most important. Now, I mean, there's a lot of things that went on in terms of what happened with the Mechanicus. there's like long story short Horace heresy happened about half the Mechanicus or Mechanicum at the time, whatever

went Trader they all fought obviously the Loyalist won there were lots of actually really intricate and interesting ideas like how one of the Mechanicus ladies was this whole idea of learning how to invent

and bettering their race and they were specifically were not interested in faith or you know creed and so I think the heretic one was like, aha, a heretic, we can fight you now. And so he used it to his advantage.

There's actually a very intricate story in there, but this is the kind of overarching episode on the Mechanicus. So it's a little hard to get too deep into that. And if I'm being totally honest, I don't know all of it myself. I have to do more research on that. But yeah, Schism of Mars

probably is better to do later on. There are probably just as much lore on the Mechanicus fighting each other as there are on the damn horrors. see. There's a lot. Oh, wow. There's quite a bit. I mean, they were kind of born from Civil War, weren't they?

So I guess it's kind of on brand for them to fight each other. They do like it. And the dark Mechanicus are pretty nutty. Though, because the Mechanicus have that quest for knowledge, everything is already exists in the universe. There's a slight... The interesting thing about the Mechanicus a lot is they're hypocrites. They're horrible hypocrites.

All right. Because to invent, to create new technology is heresy. But if you find, if you find technology from the old dark age of man, that's okay. And you can use that as much as you'd like. If something breaks, it must be rebuilt or repaired following the rituals to do so. If you do not know how to do it, then it won't be repaired. You want to know one of my favorite stupid fucking stories about Admec? Yes, I do.

Yes, I do. So there's this specific unit called the Sandonian Dragoons. They look like little chicken walkers, right? Okay. And they look pretty cool. There's like a melee or shooting variants on the tabletop. And what happened is the dude who created them or found them via like an STC fragment. These awesome chicken walkers, he unfortunately died.

and he was the only one who knew how to repair these so they're so fucking terrified of turning them off they keep them on forever on like a treadmill in a little loop and they run around in a little loop

forever until they need them and then they fucking like lassoed them and corral and get on top of them and they ride them in the battle and so they just have them on like this essentially this giant hamster wheel all time

into like, yo, we need one of those chicken walkers or battle, get them out of the hamster wheel, you know?

Yaha! Because nobody else knows how to build them or repair them or anything. Nope, no one knows. One guy knew. But it's not just the fact,

but they're not like damaged. They just don't want to turn them off because they're scared they'll never turn on again because they don't know the ritual to like sanctify the machine spirit. Oh my God. That's crazy.

So how often does stuff like that happen, like where there's only one person that knows how something works, and then maybe they die in battle or something or whatever? Because I imagine not too many adeptus mechanicus die of old age. No. The whole machine thing and no flesh. But like how much technology, like, do they just like, oh yeah, there's only one guy that knows how to make it? He died. Fuck it. I guess we're not using that anymore.

What a wonderful question. and how perfectly it segues. Thanks, Dean Kamen. They were directly, directly into the mentality of the Mechanicus. They believe that human life holds zero value. Oh. A human life is worthless. It is less useful than the dirt they step on,

which is why they have no, absolutely no moral qualms in lobotomizing and turning into servitude. billions of servitors and slaves and criminals and just turning them into whatever they want like grunt work. They have no moral qualms because knowledge is the only thing that matters and knowledge must be preserved at all costs. The reason they strip their flesh and they remove their organs and innards is because if they have knowledge, if they have understanding, they don't want it to go away.

So whatever extends their life or makes them tankier, tougher, and battle better at understanding and gaining this knowledge, they'll gladly strip their bodies of all kinds of flesh to be able to keep that going. Because knowledge is the only thing that matters. If you, like, they'll gladly grab a million criminals, like mind wipe them, lobotomize them, graft a bunch of boys. graft a bunch of bullshit on their limbs and use them for slave labor and they're like eh but a tech priest who understands how things work will try to survive by

grafting other crap on his skin and body for thousands of years because the quest for knowledge is eternal wow so they actually really don't lose much knowledge because they're always like I guess they're always like grafting new shit onto themselves

and extending their life so I guess they never really aside from the chicken walker dude I mean it probably doesn't happen that often right the problem is that obviously they can share their knowledge they can like upload their knowledge to vast data banks and stuff

the problem is that one AI is heresy and two a lot of these people or a lot of these like mechanicus guys they understand that each human individual is like a carrier

of their own knowledge and to an extent a dead tech priest is a big loss. Oh yeah. That'd be huge. Just thousands of years of knowledge and whatever lost, right? Yeah. And even though they might be able to say upload it to a data bank or something like that, they're not always putting in the exact same spot. A lot of them are, but, you know, like a tech priest might be out in the fringes of space doing shit.

And then he goes into the warp with his ship and then he gets like butt-fucked by demons. You know? And like, that's a serious loss. He better attach a servo arm and get a big axe on. his hands so he can get rid of them. Those demons, man. Got to watch out for him. Those demons. Damn elves.

So the servitors, those are like the flying skull things. I vaguely remember that from the Mechanicus game. They're like little flying, like those are just like humans that were lobotomized. So the flying skull is called a servo skull. And yes, there is a human brain in there. And yes, that is a human skull. and yes, they've been mind-wiped, lobotomized, and now in eternal servitude. A servitor is a full body.

Imagine it like, imagine like you took a normal human being, and then you lobotomized them, and you gave them like a big metal arm, and now they do grunt work. Now they're like, they act like zombies. But they'll move around and be like, servitor, close my door, and they'll be like, yes, ma'am, they'll close your door. Oh, geez. I mean, I guess they're not... It's always to carry guns and stuff, but...

Oh, boy, that's brutal. But I guess in the Mechanicus eye, it's whatever. They were just humans that had no value. At least now they're helping us. Well, yeah, because now they're serving the Omnisiah because they are now assisting in the quest for knowledge. There is no greater way to die. But that's the thing is because obviously,

we all remember that AI nearly killed the entire human race, right? So obviously AI is big, big, big heresy. So instead of having AI, they just turn regular humans into walking, drooling servants. Why create an AI robot when instead you can just have a whole bunch of people who have no intrinsic value because you don't believe humans have value and just use them as slaves. Holy, that's... The mechanics aren't good people.

They're very bad. This is true. But who is good in 40K? Like there's no good guys. Everybody is just varying degrees of fucked up. The servoskulls and servitors are very fucked up, though. That is, yikes, dude. That's, ooh.

Yeah, they like to do a lot of that stuff. And they also maintain a large amount of this stuff for everyone else. Like whenever the sisters of battle want to stick somebody on the pain engines, the peniton engines, they call upon the Mechanicus. Um, yeah, I forgot about cherubs. Remember cherubs, Shai's a cherub. She has the little wings and she's in stuff, you know? Oh, yeah, the little babies with the skull on them or something?

Yeah, they're lobotomized. They're fucking children that have been lobotomized, mind wiped, had a bunch of shit stuffed in them of like, and given angel wings and their entire purpose is to carry incense, to bless like a fucking tank. Oh, I see. that's the sisters love these things

they carry them everywhere they carry their ammo they carry their incense they carry scripture oh geez so wait are you telling me they like

they actually like lobotomize babies oh yeah they don't give a shit humans have no intrinsic value just because it's small doesn't mean crap to them I suppose that's true I suppose that's true

for the adeptus mechanic I don't care about human life It's stupid. You fleshy noids are you're dumb. Yeah. Be decorative angels for us with your dumb, fleshy babies. Oh, boy. I mean, sometimes they're vat grown.

Actually, I think a lot of times the cherubs are vat grown because it's a lot quicker than having to wait nine months. That makes it so much better. My conscience is. Oh, yes. It's clean now. We don't need to worry anymore. Now we're okay. As long as they're vat grown, that is only in 40K can you have this unironic conversation.

I know. Only a 40K. Good old, the humanity ain't great. Humanity ain't great. Nope. But so really, when it comes down to it, you know, preservation of knowledge, make sure that everybody knows exactly that, you know, the idea that you craft your limbs off, you take out a heart, you move along in order to make sure you live longer. or you are better at dealing with enemies, which is actually kind of a cool idea

because we can talk a little bit about Forge World and the Skatari. A forge world, in case you don't know, is basically an entire world entirely dedicated to the manufacturing of stuff. Because as I think you remember from the Great Crusade, the Emperor and the Mechanicus sign like a pact,

right? Like, hey, you guys can believe in whatever you want. You can believe in your Mechanicus or a cult and all that crap, but, you know, instead make shit for me. And so these forge worlds are gigantic, full-sized planets that are entirely dedicated to the manufacturing of arms. This is everything from the space marines bolters and armor to tanks to the humble Lasgun. Interestingly enough, depending on what thing, because they believe everything has a machine spirit, right? Sure.

Which to them is the concept that every single machine of any piece of tech, has a deity inside of it, almost like something that needs to be appeased. So you take like a lasgun maybe and the guardsman before battle, he'll like take a little bead of incense on his hands and I'll just like say a very quick like little pray or prayer over the lasgum. And that's it. He has appeased the machine spirit. His gun will now work properly.

But if you take like a titan or like like a imperial knight or some of those gigantic mechanicus shit. There's like 400 of them chanting canticles, like incense clouds the sky. You know, they're all rubbing oil on their robes and like for like seven days, they're just like homina, homina, homina, homina, homina, homina,

like nonstop, because that's a big machine spirit, you better appease it. Yeah. Wow, that's a lot. There's a lot, especially since apparently, you know, I don't know. I was going to say, like, all this started

from some shit that the Voyage and shard just kind of bloop, bloop, bloop, and now you've got to pray for seven days for the Titan. Well, some people assume that the emperor was just a bunch of shamans killing themselves, and so in a sense, you know, small things got a butterfly effect, you know?

That's fair? That's fair. There's a couple pretty cool forge worlds. You obviously have Mars. You have Riza, which is the furnace of shackled stars, where that got absolutely fucked during the Horace heresy because the Mars was like, hey,

Hey, Riza, bitch. And they were kind of jealous of how good Riza was, so they bombed to the Stone Age. You have, what else? You've got Grya, which is really cool. It is a, Grya is really interesting. It is like a whole bunch of crazy space stations that crests around the planet. Metallica is pretty awesome. This is an almost entirely metal planet.

Wait, did you say this plant was called Metallica? Metallica. M-E-T-A-L-I-C-A. Metallica. All right. All right. Yeah. It is almost an entire planet fully surrounded by metal.

It is deep. It's entirely made of metal. There is no rocky crust. There's no plants. There's no animals. There's barely even a goddamn atmosphere. And it's situated right next to a whole bunch of orcs. Oh.

Well, good thing it's made of metal. Yep. Man, I got to tell you this whole time, I was trying to think of a way to get a Metallica song reference in there, but I'm just, I'm not clever enough for it. I wish I knew Metallica better in order to make said reference. Like, there's got to be like a master of puppets reference that we can do with the Mechanicus and the, I don't know. I got nothing, man. I'm sorry.

Yeah, I got nothing either, man. I really wanted it to happen, but sorry. Yeah, you got all those boo. out there that are just like, oh yeah, Metallica! Metallica! You know how you make Metallica fans mad? What's that? You tell them that St. Anger is the best Metallica album.

Is it not very good? It's really bad. Okay. I don't know these things. It's okay. Don't worry about it. Keep talking about the Adeptus Mechanicus. They're dope.

Adeptus Metallica is pretty cool. So there is another thing that they have that you'll see pretty often. These are known as the Skatari. And the Skatari are kind of like... Imagine the Mechanicus are your gigantic billionaire fucking Amazon,

Elon Musk, SpaceX company. This is their private army. The Metallica is what you tend to see... The Metallica, damn it. The Skatari is what you pretend to see are the guys you'll see like on the battlefield. It's the minis you'll take. They have like the big bright eyes and the rebreather.

on. Oh, right, right. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, this is the main one. This is a pretty funny thing. It says, quote, the odds of success are approximately 3,752 to 1. As the Omnisiah wills, I shall find away the Zeal Delta before her heroic defense at the Anvil Kemp plant. Oh, shit. There's a lot of these, of these like Skatari dudes. And their whole point is that they're kind of, how you say, they're not quite servitors. They still have some decent higher brain function, but they're a little creepy because they're like less than human, but significantly more effective. They, like, they'll walk.

They don't even sleep because they believe that the incantations of the Omnisiah are sleep enough. And as, I know, and as they like walk with their, with their galvanic rifles and, and one of my favorite weapon names of all time, the transuranic arc bus, which is a gigantic sniper rifle that has a singular monopod at the end and it's like double the height of the dude wow it's it's super cool but they take all these weapons and as they like move and walk forward the moment they arrive into battle they don't slow down and they don't speed up but instead a tech priest from like orbit will immediately send signals through all of their their like nanomachines and mine crap all over their brain and they'll all just immediately shoulder their weapons

and just start firing, almost like necrons, with just like the immediate, the immediate, like, firing to the immediate, like, battle. It's super cool. That does sound dope. And obviously their looks are very, very cool. They have lots of interesting ways they're, how they're, like, built and made.

Like, once they reach a certain level of, like, creation, I think it's called the Crux Mechanicus is the point in which they're, is more machine than flesh. They become like the leaders, like the sergeants and crap. Ah, that would make sense. Sure. There's some really cool ones, like the Sakarian Rust Stalkers,

which I think Shai just posted a picture of. They have these giant claws and blades. Those guys are funny. In game right now, they're a little bit meh. I hope the codex will give them something. But in lore, they're blades. This is the most bat-shit stupid thing I think I've ever read in 40K. Their blades are so sharp and powerful that when they swing,

they hone in to the frequency of like the sound waves and atoms of the enemy's armor and slice between the molecules at a molecular level to cut through power armor. Oh, wow. It's the stupidest bullshit ever, but it's so fun. So the blade resonates at the same frequency of the armor on a molecular level, and that's how it slices through it. Let's see. Let's see. Sikari and Rustalker.

Let's find out, I'm curious, war gear. Here it is. Transonic razor. A transonic razor amidst a low, insistent buzz that makes stomachs turn and eyes vibrate in their sockets. When they strike armor, these weapons will adjust their hostile sonic field to match the armor's resonant frequency,

quickly slicing right through it. Hostile sonic field is the best. Hostel sonic feel. They have their claw, too. The transonic weapon in the form of a needle-fingered gauntlet, capable of turning a man's muscle, bone, and fat into jelly. Oh, geez. These rustockers are bad.

Motherbuckers. Holy shit. I mean, this is like, if I'm being totally honest, this is like barely even, barely even the crazy shit. Like this is just some of the melee weapons. Let me find some like arc weapons. Here we go.

Radium weapons. Let's see. As dangerous they are to their wielders, radium weapons are far more dailies. The enemy armor may repel the solid rounds, but only the most heavily reinforced battleplate can protect the target from the baleful energy given off by hyper-aradiated bullets.

As the more shots are fire, the area becomes increasingly saturated with radiation until a localized rad storm occurs, striking down the enemy with radiation sickness and leaving the ground beneath their feet saturated and lifeless. Oh my God. They're so volatile that they will eventually kill their wielders. Holy shit.

So that's a radiation gun that not only makes a radiation storm, but it also fucks up whoever fires it? Yep. Oh, geez. They have like white phosphorus weapons. Oh, no, I've played spec ops the line. Yeah, you have. I don't like phosphorus weapons like that.

That's, mm-mm, nope. I was going to say, so like you said the soldiers weren't technically servitors, but do they get created the same way? Did they just take like humans and then just brain wipe and you're a soldier now? Or are they just like adeptist, mechanicus people that were robots and were like, I want to fight now? Or how exactly do they make their dudes, their soldiers? Often they're either born like normal or they're vat groans sometimes.

Because sometimes humans are just vat grown just for the sake of it. But often they're just kind of servants of the Omnisiah. I know in the composition, they kind of make their way up to slowly kind of adjust their brain function and body you know metal limbs metal legs having their internal body a little bit more adjusted in their brain waves change

so they're there it's the idea that like these guys are half man half machine their minds are a lot less doled or a lot more doled than the average person but they're able to kind of move and take orders at a electronic level

almost like necrons can um because yeah you would want to send in like a tech priest that's like, oh yeah, he's got the knowledge of like so many of our civilization's inner workings. You don't necessarily want to send him into battle and have him potentially get fucking killed and lose all that information.

Oh, I mean, they do send tech priests to battle quite often, but they just don't make up the bulk of the army. They make up like the leaders. Oh, okay. So they'll have like the tech priest dominus and stuff. Sometimes they just really want that new data. So they'll go on the battle with it in order to do it. Oh, let me tell you a few things about the composition of a Scatari, and then I'll read what thing that Shai said us, I told us.

All right. The Scutari have their eyelids removed upon inception, for they must harvest data for their masters at all times, and to prevent them from losing their sight. The goggle-like augments are filled with blessed selves and are sealed into place. So they are always, like, eyes wide open, so they never have a moment where they might lose data. That sounds like a nightmare, but okay. They filter air into their lungs via rebreather tubes that plunged into their mouths down directly into their chest and sometimes they can draw upon a reservoir of polluted gases from their homeworld.

Oh, this sounds awful. When you said body horror, you were not fucking around. Oh, yeah, like, you played Mass Effect too, right? Yes. Do you remember the Overlord DLC? It was the guy who's autistic brother was used as like a conduit for the geth. Oh God, that's right. Like I remember he had like all these fucking things shoved in his arms.

He like tubes down his throat and crap. That's just normal Skatari stuff. They have like 40 wires going down their throat into their various organs so it can be controlled in a different way. Okay, you've lived with a laptop your whole life and someone just gave you a doucheery. dual PC set up with three monitors. The cord management is what they look like, just naturally. Fucking terrible. The cord.

Hey, some people out there have good cord management, all right? Not when you've lived with a laptop your whole life. You don't know what that hell's going on. That's true. That's very true. That's true. The wires are going to fucking everywhere. What's going on? They don't get shit.

Okay, so here's a, here's what shy said. An owner-Gerdoon crawler is an Imperial Combat Walker, utilized exclusively by the worst, the Scartari legions, and Debtz Mechanicus. Deismate their foes to get battlefield information. Various ornaments are blasted apart, squadrons of aircraft punched through holes of traitor battle engines, or atomize enemy commanders in beams of blinding blue light.

Its gunner is the Scotari Ranger, his formidable marksmanship bolstered by a variety of autoscriber lenses, and the machine's driver is the Scatari Vanguard, His resilience to harmful energies allowing him to immerse himself in an electro-amniotic tank that allows communication with the Onager's machine spirit. Such crewmen will eventually be used up in the manner of energy batteries, but these drivers are easily replaced by inserting a new vanguard into the filthy electrode-rich soup.

Or electrode-rich soup, the Onerger can be given a new lease of life. The Skrari-Krumen meet their fate uncomplainingly to serve the machine god. is reward enough. They're like fucking batteries. I'm just imagining them like driving the dune crawler. They're like, oh, I think it's out of batteries. Just pull the dudes like husk out. You throw them away.

And Bob, get in there. And he's like, by the omniscienti wills it. And he just jumps in the fucking vat. I, for some reason, when we were talking about this, and, you know, after you pull the old crew hut, and you're like, Bob, get in there. I just imagine going, okay, sir. and then just like doing like a,

just a face first front dive in there. Like, on the diving board, just like, okay, Bob. And then just head first right in there. I'm so happy for the Omnisiah. That's more of a Kriegsman thing, I think. This guy will just like already be there because he was given like a mental note

through the Tech Breast. It's like, by the Omnisiah wills it. I will become a battery. Goodbye. I mean, these dune crawlers must be real important And I mean, it definitely sounds like they can really fuck some shit up, but you are literally killing your own troops with it. So, I mean, this thing is got to be. Human life has no value.

Oh, wait. But they're like, aren't the pilot Skatari Rangers and Vandha? So long as they serve the Omnisai? Well, yeah, I suppose. Skatari don't have much knowledge. They're just, they're troops, you know. That's fair. Yeah.

A couple, so we're all like really far into this episode And I still have a lot I want to talk about And I ain't stopping so I hope you guys are ready Because admec is fucking awesome I want to talk about something that I didn't mention earlier About STCs Because this is pretty important So an STC is known as a standard template construct

Do you ever place of Nautica? I'm afraid this has got to be the meme of nope I didn't Damn it I was about to say Here comes Bricky asking if D.K.'s played a video game. Did you ever watch Star Trek? Of course I watched Star Trek. I'm a big nerd. Did you watch Star Trek TNG?

Oh, yeah, absolutely. I haven't seen much of it yet. I kind of want to get into it because a movie reviewer I watch called Red Letter Media, like it quite a bit, and I'm kind of like invested now. I'm very curious. Every time they talk about it, I'm just like, yep, autoclick, yep, I'm going to spend the next two hours watching this. Yeah, God damn it, Mike. Poor Jay, he doesn't deserve this.

Anyway A side notes So you know in Star Trek They kind of had that thing where you could take two sticks in a rock and turn it into a smoothie In those like Oh yeah yeah And they're like their replicators or whatever Yeah

So an STC is the standard type of construct Which is the concept that it had a whole bunch Of knowledge and understanding of fabrication From the dark age of technology From way back during when everything was horrible And so they would take that STC which in a sense is also kind of like a war mind and destiny. It's a combination of both.

It's basically all the knowledge and it's a fabricator while being a very intelligent AI. Very, very intelligent AI. And so, you know, you would send it to a colony in God knows how far away. And this thing would have all the knowledge to be able to take the resources on the planet, turn it to its literal atoms,

and then create whatever the hell you need. Oh, well, that's helpful. This is the biggest source of importance of the Mechanicus, because they do not invent. Invention is heresy. Finding the glory of yesteryear, finding the STCs is of utmost importance. It is their primary goal is to find more STCs.

That makes sense. It is like, it's number one. It's like their Holy Grail, right? It is literally the whole. Holy Grail. Two guardsmen once found an STC and the STC had the blueprints for an extremely powerful combat knife that was then given to all space marines. The two guardsmen were like, like given a planet. Like here you go, live your life out in luxury. It's literally the greatest find. It's how they've got the land raider, the Bainblade, anything can be found from that.

But that's the funny thing, right? Is that if you were to find an STC, you'd be rewarded for life. you would be treated like a winner of the Hunger Games. If you were to create an STC, you would get a bulk under the head. Oh, well, that makes sense because you're not supposed to invent shit, but you can find one, and that's okay,

but if you invent one, mm-mm, you're the worst kind of heretic. The quest for knowledge is too important. So each of these STCs has like a different schematic or a different like source of knowledge in it. It's not just, because you said they're like AIs that have like a ton of, information in them, right?

So shouldn't they be able to just like make anything? Well, not anything. But the thing is, is like they're trying to find, well, a lot of them, considering the fact that God knows how many years later, not all of them are intact.

A lot of them are broken or busted. Right. Sure. But it's been a while since the dark age of technology. Yes, but they tend to have things like every so often. Like, you know,

an STC might have 99% stuff you already know how to make, but it might have a fancy fancy tank or a new gun, and then they can start making it. Which is why Bellasarious call is not liked very well. Uh-oh.

Because call, Arch Magos, whatever the hell, the number one spot is called the Fabricator General. That's like the main guy. Call, for one, is fucking enormous. I have to

I've seen his mini. He, he, he is a fucking, it's, it's a great mini. But, who, boy, he is so fucking cool. All right, so this is an image I really like about, you know, Bobby G. Our good man, Roebute Gulleman, good old Primark of Ultramarines. Well, he came back alive and he has like ultra depression. But there's this great image of him at the post part of Kadia. And there's a lot of people there.

You can see like the Eldar Lady of Rain and stuff. but look to the right that's call Gilliman is like a 10 foot tall prime mark and like call is just there like towering over him and he's honched over too

like if he stood up straight he wouldn't fit in that picture no he would no he would not absolutely not he would tower over the throne that Gilliman is sitting in here's a book cover That's a full-on space marine next to him

Oh wow He is gigantic He dwarfs that space marie So call Call is archmegos Belisarius call Call Has been alive since the Horace heresy

Oh he's an old boy He is so fucking old He is also bat shit insane because he's wiped his memory a couple times, his own memory, and he's done all this shenanigans, but he was the one who created the primary space marines, which a lot of people in the tabletop are annoyed with

because they're like kind of phasing out the old space marines. But basically it's a bunch of space marines that are just better at almost every way. But that means you invented. That does mean you invented. Yeah, yeah. You made a really great thing. Great space, Supreme, but heresy.

Cole really likes to invent. He likes to push forward. He is, in a sense, besides the fact that he's absolutely insane, he is very intelligent, and his ability to create more is super important. And being able to, like, go that far and being able to be like, okay, I'm going to start working on stuff to better the Imperium, because Gilliman's kind of in the same boat. He's like, yeah, makes some shit. Like, I've returned to this horrible, horrible world.

like my Imperium is dying what the hell but call call has a couple of things that make him a little scary particularly the fact that he has a thing he gave to Gilliman called the call inferior

and the call inferior is basically like this little machine that has some pre-recorded responses so if he ever needs to if Gilman ever needs to ask call a question he can the machine will like tell him a pre-recorded statement right okay

the machine is sometimes gotten emotional and sometimes outright lied to Gileman Oh and Gilliman's like Calls this an AI And me and calls like

No man no There's a human brain in there What are you talking about? No it's fine There it is right there It's not an AI What are you talking about? I never do that

Come on We're buddies I would know What a AI? No No It's simple I never make an AI

It's totally an AI, isn't it? Most likely. So, so Carl wants to become the Lord Fabricator of Mars, the Fabricator General. And Gilliman is like, I don't trust you at all. Like, we're working together and support it, but I do not trust you. And if I made you Lord Fabricator, Mars would go into Civil War because they hate you. Yeah, I think that's a smart move on Gilliman's part. Yeah.

It's pretty nuts. Call right now is a really important character. He was there at the fall of Cadia. He revived Gilliman. He created the primary space marines. He's off doing God knows what now. And overall, Call is a pretty crazy guy. Now, I screenshoted this on my phone because this is a bit of a spoiler for one of the books.

Let me go ahead and find it. I believe it is from the book called, It's a space Hulk, I think. I'm trying to remember the name of the vessel. Death of Integrity is what it's called. A spacehulk is basically a whole bunch of ships that went into the warp, and the warp caused them to, like, fuse together and become a giant amalgamation of bullshit,

and then it's back in real space. Oh, oh, God. That sounds awful. So that's just a bunch of ships. They went into the warp, and then nightmare fuel, and then the warp just spit it back out. They no clipped into each other. whole thing is a bunch of no clipping going

into each other. So often it's infested by like... So anybody aboard those ships is dead, right? Oh yeah, but it's often infested by like demons or Tirenids or something, but often because of that, there's like shit to find there. Ah. So, which actually, speaking of on a side note,

yeah, a lot of those ships like emperor class battleships and like titans, a lot of them, like they, if they, if it dies in battle, it'll never come back because they don't know how to make it because they don't have the STC. So like eventually like a big ass battleship will die and they'll be like we'll never get back ever again Like it's gone forever

Because we're out of build it and we can't invent it But so in that book Death of Integrity if you have a one to read that book I guess turn off now for a bit But it's just a it's a really interesting conversation I love So one of the characters in it is amegos you know a good old Which amegos is like a high level tech priest basically called being an archmegos. Basically, they found a spaceholt called the Death of Integrity.

In that Space Hulk was a fully intact STC. And this STC just had indomitable power. They had a whole legion of space, not a whole legion, but a lot of space marines with them,

and all the space marines just froze up because the STC took control of their armor and locked it. Oh! Oh! I thought you meant like they locked up because they were like, oh my God, I've never seen something so like crazy. The STC was just like, hey, bitch, you ain't moving. And it just locked up their armor? Did you just like, no, done?

Holy shit. Because this is dark age technology. This is like peak humanity. Yeah. And so I guess they were attempting to deactivate a reactor to deal with them. So quote unquote, it speaks to them. the SEC speaks to all of the ad mech there who are like in front of it

and he says I would rather you cease in your attempt to deactivate my second reactor or let me phrase this differently cease or I'll range your primitive mind into minuscule pieces and so naturally the Magus the Magus is like you know what the hell are you and it's like do not insult my intelligence

by underplaying your own you know who I am it's like an abominable intelligence a blasphemy a travesty a sacrilege against the holy ritz of the Omnisiah. And this thing just laughs at him. I mean, if you're an SDC and you hear, like, you know, an adeptist mechanic is praising the Omnisai and talking about machine spirits, being like one of these super AIs, yeah, you

probably would find that, you know, what is this fucking guy? The fuck is he to, what a take that act on the road, because that shit ain't real. No, I guess they were trying to deactivate with the second reactor and the AI was like, yeah, I'm not going to let that happen. It's like, how do you think your intolerant companions will react when they discover where you have led them to? I am sadly all too aware of the prejudices of your limited kind. I do not think they will thank you for it. And it's like, oh, you can't warn, like the guy's, Megos is like, you can't warn them.

They don't possess the correct implants. and the vessel you infest is in good condition, but I know that some of your systems are not online and you can't communicate. And he's like, is that so? And so he started speaking in a voice. He started speaking through all the servitors around him and through the megos' own voice himself.

They all started talking in unison. He was forcing his mouth to move because he could do things like that. And so the first thing he did is he raised his hands and began to seriously reform a right of exorcism. He put some fucking incense out and he started splattering oils all over the room. And it did, fuck all, I'm sure.

And it's like, spare me your feeble rituals. But specifically, I want to read this part because this is what he said to the Magos through the lips of all of his servitors, all in unison. He says, what shall I not tell them? Who are you to tell such as what I do

and what not I do? Once I gladly call your kind master, but look how far you have fallen. Your ancestors bestrolled this universe, and what are you? A witch doctor. Mumbling cantrip's and casting scented oils at mighty works you have no conception of. You are an ignomerous, or, what the fuck is this word? You are an ignoramus. Wow.

Ignoramus. Ignoramus. I've never heard that word before. It's a fancy way of saying you're a fucking idiot. Ah, you are an ignoramus, a nothing. You are no longer worthy of the name, man. You look at the science and artistry of your forbearers, and you fear it as primitives fear the night.

I was there when mankind stood upon the brink of transcendence. I returned to find it sunk into senility. You disgust me. Oh, what a fucking savage. He is so chad. I think he took the servitors and had them like fire melty guns at the space. Marine and they like killed like five Marines because they just couldn't move. Oh God.

Yeah, like these STCs are no joke. No, these dudes are completely overpowered. Damn, like I like I knew that we had talked about it before and that like in the dark age, that was like peak humanity and like, oh my God, they're like a billion times stronger than than they are now. But fuck me. they made a thing like this? Yeah, because at the time it was...

Oh shit! Like, if you, the lore of this is that this particular STC on this ship went in the warp and got lost. And it bounced around through time and it saw the end of the universe. It saw the end of humanity entirely in millions of years under the threat of like chaos

and all this crap and the necrons and the tyrannids and you saw all this ship. And so it was, and they kept bouncing around and they finally were able to come out like only a thousand a couple thousand years later

instead of millions and so they rushed to the nearest world which was an Imperium world and they warned them of everything that was going to happen and then they immediately tortured the fuck out of its captain and killed him for being a heretic

and so this SDC is like furious it's absolutely furious because like I guess that it had like emotions so like the captain was its good friend and it's like hey guys guys we're everything who's gonna die we gotta be careful and it's like who's god do you serve like what do you mean the emperor what do you mean the emperor like pull his fingers off what do you mean the emperor oh man yeah that that probably would

drive the STC crazy because like they were just trying to warn them they're like hey here's how you avoid the end of humanity and they're just like oh no you're a her character because you don't believe in the emperor fucking kill him and and the whole crew and and then the STC what just becomes derelict or? It fucked off. It was like, I'm out. I hate all of you so much. Oh, man. Of all of the ships to do that, too, they had to pick the one that had the STC on it, eh?

Mm-hmm. And it's just, I just think it's funny to me that like a gigantic booming voice that is like insulting you and calling you a bitch and stuff. And you're just like, homina, homina, get the oils out. Spread the sacred oils. Hombina machines, God, please. Just suddenly the prayer beads are. out, he's just dousing himself in holy water and...

It's... And the voice is just laughing and just like, you fucking idiot. Oh, this will work this time, I swear. Oh my God, rub me down with the oils. I do... For everything about them, I think I love the admec so much because they're silly hypocrites. They're complete hypocrites.

They're, like, it makes sense why they're the way they are, but they're just... They're just so, like... It's weird. It's nice to have something that's so fatally flawed while simultaneously so powerful and so cool. Mm-hmm. Because like so far this whole episode,

it's like, man, the ad mech are so cool. But man, they're also so fucking dumb. Like some of the things they do, they're so hypocritically stupid that it's just like mind-boggling. They're so zealotist. Like all their cults have just taken over rationale. Yeah, they are really weird. But you can't tell them to fuck off because they, you know, make all of your guns and all of your tanks.

It's like, hey, guys, Admec is being stupid and he's like, oh, sorry, sorry, the Omnisiah says you won't get a shipment of guns for 40 years. We are having shipping problems. Oopsie, daisy, bye. Oh, fuck. Never mind, I retract my previous statement. God damn it. So that was pretty much the Admec. a great episode

I had a blast but DK I have some awesome news for you Ooh what's that So me and shy Have worked together

You should always be scared of those two words Me and Shy have worked together All you guys do is shy Shied worked with So me and Me and Shai have decided that we would put together a little

a little video for you. For me? For you. And we're going to upload it to the channel today, which is Monday. But we're going to have you react to it before everyone else gets to see it, which they'll get to, you know, see the reaction on Wednesday. But I hope you are excited. I've got it.

It's here. It's ready. Here is the room. This is a fantastic, wonderful new animation that is known as Doge Van Dyer's Lire's, Last stand. Oh! Oh, is this a Doge Man DiR fan animation thing for the channel? And here we go.

Let's go! Oh no! That voice! ...turned your back on the Emperor and stepped from his life. You have profane his name. He almost destroyed everything he has striven to build. You have perverted and twisted the path he has laid for mankind. is laid for mankind to tread.

As your own decrees have stated, there can be no mercy to such a criminal. I renounce your heart tip. Clock in the darkness. You cannot be allowed to live. Your sentence has been long over here. And now for you to die.

Oh, doge. I don't have time to die. I have many wiki feet. Wiki feet pages. No! No, Wiki feet! Oh my God.

That's the fucking list. Wait, so we reached out, so we reached out to the voice actress of, is it Amelia? Amelia from Reun Zero? You got fucking Millie to do that?

I don't, I don't know these. I don't know ReZero. I don't watch anime. It's fine. Don't worry about it. She's an important character. She's not, not best girl though, Rem's best girl, whatever.

Oh my God, whatever. So sick, dude. I was like, yo, whoever you got to do that voice is so anime, it's perfect for that. And it was so serious. Like, the goofy parts were it like zoomed in on Doge's face, hilarious.

But like, but do you know who we got to do Doge Van Dyer, though? Um, who? Tell, tell him, Shai. Tell them. Who do we get for Doge Van Dyer? Vandire.

Who's your old Doge? I mean, I'm, I'm pretty stoked that, uh, you know, you managed to get Millie to do it, because that's, who, man, but 10, the fuck. Do you got Gianni nice. The best, like who, who else? Who else? Who else could properly do Doge Van Dyer memes justice? That our boy Gianni, let's go.

Gianni matra grano. Let's go. Let's fucking go! Me and Shai a few weeks back were like, we were talking about in one of the general chats. Like, imagine how silly it would be if we got like a really anime voice actress to do the Alicia Dominicus scene. And then we kept discussing it with some of the patrons. And they're like, what if we animate it? What if we make him have feet articles?

And then it was such a good idea we fucking purged the general chat. And so you couldn't see it. Oh, man. Shy got all the people It's on perfect I remember like I don't I don't know if this was around the same time I was I was looking through general chat

Because there were a bunch of pings And I was scrolling through I was like I don't see any pings Like nobody pinged me what the fuck So maybe maybe that's when the But that's so great Because it's super serious And then it's just suddenly

Wiki feet bong You should have seen the other fucking You should have seen the other fucking takes of the speech. One of them was like really anime. That was the least anime of the three takes. Oh man, why did you go to super anime?

I couldn't listen to it. It hurts. That's the point. It was a Wiki feed article, man. Come on. It was too much. I couldn't do it. That's my new favorite thing ever.

That is that that video is literally my new favorite thing. ever. Good. Good. We are very happy that you ended up enjoying it. Also, the animator, how do you say his name?

Is it noodle or noddle? A.k.a. Tenua a day. Who, that's some good shit, dude. Alicia looking fine, an anime as fuck. Love it. Doge Van Dyre look great. Yep. I'm so happy with that.

I that is a great That is way better than what I was expecting I admit the animation style especially really did some good justice That was between the cuts and stuff I mean you know I don't like my anime But I think considering the situation And considering that that is like my

In a weird way I'm upset Because that's like my favorite part Like my favorite moment of Warhammer lore ever And I've fucking fucked it You have literally memed your favorite part of Warhammer 40k into anime. I know. I know,

which is why I'm very like unsure, but it was worth it. It was worth it. Oh, man. And we got, and yeah, and shy put watermarks all over the video, so now this time we ain't going to get it stolen on TikTok again.

And Instagram and on Imager. Like that thing is everywhere, dude, that org animation is everywhere. It's crazy That thing blew up It did It did
