Adeptus Ridiculous - DEATH WORLDS: YOU DON'T BELONG HERE | Warhammer 40k Lore
Episode Date: May 29, 2024https://www.patreon.com/AdeptusRidiculoushttps://www.adeptusridiculous.com/https://twitter.com/AdRidiculoushttps://orchideight.com/collections/adeptus-ridiculousDeath World is a planet in which the na...tive flora and fauna has evolved into naturally aggressive and dangerous forms. These eco-systems are finely balanced between continual destruction and lightning-fast reproduction. Death worlds take many forms, ranging from jungle-covered hell-holes with carnivorous plants and animals to barren, volcanic wastelands racked by ion storms. The most famous and notorious Death World is the hellish planet of Catachan.Some worlds can be turned into Death Worlds, like what occurred on Indiga after numerous captive giant predators escaped from their zoos. When this happens, these worlds are labeled as Man-Made Death Worlds.Humans can, and do, live on these worlds, but it is a never-ending struggle. On many death worlds it is as if the entire bio-mass of the planet were consciously motivated against human settlement - concentrating forces against intruders to destroy them. Death worlds with human settlements or colonies can have populations of 1,000 to 15,000,000Support the show

Bricky has things to say.
Hey, everybody.
If you'd like to check out some great merchandise, head on over to orchidate.com.
Then check out all of our posters that you can get as well as your hoodies, shirts, and so on.
In fact, we are actually going to be running a quick sunset soon.
We've accumulated quite a few random designs all over the place.
And so eventually we're going to be running a quick sunset soon.
Eventually, we're going to be dropping off quite a few of them and doing some last chance stuff, but I'll teach you a bit more about that next week.
So for for now, just like, you know, grab your stuff, but eventually we'll have a brand new new dudead thing for that.
So, yeah, check it out, Orcaulta.com and read Horace Rising.
We're finally getting to that.
Horace Rising.
I haven't even started it yet.
We always start, like, at the near the end of the one's time to record, so we have it fresh in the brain anyway.
That's, well, okay, that's true.
Also, you're not sunsetseting anything that is vital to the lore of Adeptus ridiculous, are you?
And then bringing it back five, six years later or anything, are you?
I don't know if, is that a destiny joke?
I would never make fun of one.
No, I was genuinely unsure.
I would never.
I would never.
We must protect these large, multi-billion dollar game corpse and their AAA titles.
Okay, so, um, so, okay, one, shut up.
Two, the little guy who designs are staying, so that makes you feel better than yes.
Okay.
Yes, so much better.
Anyway, Mr. graduated from the walls and has, where are you now, Kyrieff?
No, he's still in the walls, dude.
He just gets like a, like a porthole out of them.
I think, yeah, I think I'm still in there.
Maybe I've got like a, there's like a, what are they called, but there's like a bigger gap, like a cavity wall.
So there's a bit more space.
Hanging some artwork up in there.
Maybe.
Wait.
Wait.
from the uh maybe going to the patreon and getting artwork from there that was a terrible plug let's
edit that out let's not do that no no wait wait wait wait hold on what did we talk about this last time
he was here what's that meme of like the spot above the doorway that is used for nothing yes we did
yeah yeah yeah we did that was a lot to put in there as well okay okay okay good i i i still okay
all right good i was like i as long as that was being new but i wasn't as long as his
spot isn't that like wall cat is watching you blah blah blah blah meme that's that's fine that's fine he can
have the little nothing spot above above the door no no wall cat is watching you do your thing
do your thing do your thing look so speaking of doing our thing also yeah that's an old meme dk that that one
dated you pretty badly what no way it's not that old is it like it's not like i was like oh
really y'all and like you know owl
ceiling cat is absolutely
that old come on oh it's
ceiling cat i called it wall cat but whatever
so i mean it's it's one of those
ones that's like it will it is
dating you a bit but like
shy said 20 years is it really from
2006 it can't
ow oh no
oh no god
so what are you guys thoughts on
critical damage um what do you guys
thoughts on the retro uh video game
consoles in the Xbox 360
and PlayStation 3.
Oh, stop it.
Those came out in 2006.
Dude, like last...
Dude, last year, I bought a dreamcast for nostalgia.
Are you kidding me with this, like,
how do you feel about PS3 and Xbox 360
as retro consoles concept?
Stop, move on.
Carry on.
What's the topic before I wither into dust?
I've already started.
I've lost a leg by this point.
Just gonna have to get through it
before everything follows.
So, I want to...
I want you to imagine something, to get the mental images going.
Imagine going to work.
No.
But I'm doing it now.
Already a stretch.
What are we doing now?
I'm doing it now.
A horribly tired blue collar worker on his final shift hearing me say that is like,
he's like, I'm going to kill him.
Yeah, he's just finishing his like midnight graveyard shift, toiling away.
His back is sore, his mind is numb.
16 tons, what do you get?
Listening to Bricky YouTuber, man.
I'm going to work now.
I'm actually going to stab him.
Anyway, sorry.
Continue your spiel, yeah.
That's actually not a bad way to do it.
Imagine you are that blue-collar worker.
You are going off to, let's say, go down the mines.
Except there's a problem.
For you to get to the mines, you must travel
are not insignificant distance,
except instead of, say, a nice train journey,
maybe getting in the car,
getting in a new pickup truck,
driving down the freeway, motorway,
wherever you happen to be from.
Instead, you have to go through
mile upon mile of, for instance,
dense jungle filled with plants and animals
that have been essentially evolved
to absolutely murder literally everything
they come into contact with.
And you get to do this,
every single day, day in, day out.
And you get to watch a not inconsiderable number of your workmates die to being strangled by vines
or maybe blown off cliffs or killed by irradiated sandstorms.
Where do you think you would be for that to happen on a regular basis?
That sounds like catachin, yeah.
Pretty much.
That sounds like catachin.
Okay, okay.
So that's where I was like, this sounds like catachin.
But we've done Katachia before.
Many times.
Many times.
So I was like, this can't be it.
But that's what it sounds like.
It absolutely sounded like that.
As soon as you said, oh, yeah, the wildlife is overgrowing and everything is going to kill you and to get to your house or your workplace.
Like, that sounds exactly.
All you need to do is like, oh, yeah, by the way, there's a train-sized centipy that's going to eat you too.
Oh, yeah, but technically, technically it is a failure on the guess.
But to be fair, Katachan is an example.
of what we're going to talk about.
Because, yeah, we're going to talk about
death worlds.
Oh, just in general?
Just death worlds in general?
Just death worlds.
Okay.
Oh, there's so many.
We're half right, because Katz's so many.
It's a death world.
Is a death world?
Were you specifically talking about
like Katachin in that, like, opening example?
It was a little bit of a red herring going on.
Because you, you son of a bitch.
It is, it is, it's like the,
when you think death world, I think most people,
think Kata Chan, because it is the most well-known, the most, like, famous example of.
Or the Kreeg Homeworld.
Or the Krieg Homeworld.
But there's also places like Ball, there's Fenris, there's a whole ton of Death Worlds,
Noctun, the Home World of the Salamanders.
The Lamenters Head Spays.
That too.
Yeah, we're just going to talk about Death World in general and some specific examples of
them.
Katachan being like,
the main one, I think it's fair to say.
Okay.
Which, by the way, this is, just before we get into it,
there is something about Kata Chan that I didn't know until,
not Katshan, sorry, yes, no, it is this.
Sorry, I'm getting confused because there's like a bazillion examples
of horrendous creatures going around in my brain.
I hadn't realised that the barking toads,
the Kata Chan Barking Toads, which are like one of the creatures
that exists on that planet, I knew that they were deadly.
I didn't realize they were as insane as they actually are because I thought, like a thermonuclear warhead.
Yeah, I was going to say, those are the ones that, like, those are the ones that blow up when you throw them, right?
And it's a big boom.
They blow up if you like sniff too loudly, like a half a mile away from them.
Oh.
Whenever they feel threatened, they explode in a cloud of toxins and it kills anything within a one kilometer radius.
I had no idea it was that wider range.
I thought it was a, oh, we lost a guy because he scared a toad.
Not a, oh, we lost a town because a guy scared a toad.
I had no idea they were that bad.
Yeah, they're really bad.
Did we talk, like, I feel like I remember having this conversation when we did an episode
that someone actually, like, managed to throw one of these things.
Like, they didn't spook it, and they picked it up, and they just, yeah.
And they just eated that thing.
As Shai's put in, there's the lesser Katachan barking toad, and there's the greater barking toad, and the lesser one only kills stuff within the immediate area.
Okay, so you won't destroy the city, just a couple hundred people in the city.
I guess if you could sneak up on one, maybe tranquilize it or something, and then chuck it as it wakes up, but I wouldn't risk it personally.
No, no, no, no.
I think he's trouble.
Shai said that's another false memory.
All right, all right.
Apparently I am remembering incorrectly.
I don't see it happen, though, to be fair.
I mean, the barking toad is a particular joke involving Emperor text of speech.
It's a common meme of Vulcan being like, I want to pet this funny toad thing.
And he blows up and dies, you know?
And then he comes back on his response.
And then he comes back.
Because Vulcan dies like 900 times in the series because it's Vulcan.
Yep, yep, yep.
So death worlds as a whole, since we've gone straight into the barking toad area of, like, death worlds,
death worlds as a whole are absolute hellscapes essentially, where technically the Imperium doesn't think that, you know, widespread settlement is possible because of the environment or because of like flora and fauna.
So Katachan being the example of that where everything on the planet just wants to kill you.
But there are also death worlds that have come about due to vast wars, like Krieg, where most of the planet is just an irradiated wasteland where, like, radiation storms sweep across and murder everything.
There's planets like Nocturn, where there is just constant, like, volcanic activity.
And again, almost impossible to actually have any sort of, like, long-lived human presence just down to how hostile the planet is.
but in pretty much every case for Death Worlds
there's at least a reason for there to be some human presence
either for mining stuff or for some sort of resource that the planet's got
like maybe there's some sort of like biological thing going on
within the plant life that needs to be harvested
and Death Worlds tend to breed some of the most hardy
borderline insane humans that the Imperium has access to
once again a prime example being cat
where everyone who comes out of that planet is absolutely hard as nails because if you're not
that. You have to be. Yeah, you have to do that just to survive day to day. What's, yeah, I feel like
we've probably talked about this and this is just me forgetting. What, what's the major export
from Katachin that they feel like, oh yeah, we got to have humans here? I mean, at this point,
it's the people, surely. Let me just do we just, it's just like, yeah, we just want to make hardened soldiers.
I believe it's mainly
Gargwick. I think it is just
the guardsman. It's like the whole reason
for Katajan is still being settled at this point
is purely because they can juice
bad asses. Okay. I wasn't sure if there was some sort of
like magic weed
or drug that they made from like the plants there because everything is
so toxic. The magic weed.
Right. I wasn't sure if they like had a special
boof pack that came specifically from
like Katachin poisoned drug.
or something, but yeah.
I'm smoking that catachin
pack right now.
This shit slew sanguineas
sent me to the eye of terror.
Yes, sir, that catacham
boof pack, baby.
Abadon is scared
of this shit, man.
That catachin pack
got me moving like a claymation figure.
Mortarian ain't got shit
this strong.
Anyway, I'd save it before
save us from the Dracula flow.
Save it.
Yeah, as Shia said,
Katachan's only valuable resource is its people.
So, like, as a planet,
kind of worthless,
but the people who come out of that planet,
absolutely, absolutely, like, top tier.
Some of the best,
which you've got to be.
I'd love the artwork for all Katachan stuff, by the way.
Just anything involving that planet
and anyone living on it,
it's always, it's always perfect.
I gotta find, like, everything that comes from Cattachin with the art is just like, oh yeah, here's sort of, here's Rambo.
There we go.
There's a particular image that they did in the Ninth edition guard codex that I saw.
And it's one of my favorite catachin images of all time, because I think it's done by the same artist that does those like really kind of gross, hyper-detailed codex arts is this guy.
and I love it to death because the catch didn't do the top left has like an arm the size of like a tank tread.
But he's holding a bolter, which is so comically oversized for even this like six, nine dude.
That's like a space marines bolter.
But then you got like the lady down on the bottom who's dual wielding rifles, but she's got this like giant tube coming out of her stomach.
And it's just, it's so.
And he's like actually fighting a blood letter.
Like a demon of corn
He's just like oh sick
And he's blasting away with a boulder
It's so cool
And he already has a prosthetic leg as well
Like he knows what's going on
Like he's this is not his first time facing something that awful down
It's probably like another Tuesday
It's like oh yeah
Yeah it's day of the week
It's time to face it.
If we're gonna do the predator thing
We're gonna like we're gonna make him
He's got the bleached skull on his backpack
And there's like lower hip
It's so fun
The day you fought up
blood letter was the most important day of your life, but for me, it was Tuesday.
Do they all talk about that?
No, that's the, that's the, that's the embison meme from Street Fighter.
I know, I just, the, I don't know, I just, the, I don't know what it wasn't the
action, you think the catachin soldier speaks like that?
That's what I want to happen.
I was going to say, the catatine speaks in grunts, right?
A catacian speaks either Australian or Texan.
That's the only two I've ever heard the caton speak like.
Australian for sure.
They're either Australian or they're like Texas military, you know?
It's one of the two.
Fair.
Fair and valid.
There's no middle ground.
None of them say, I mean, what we're saying is none of them sound like the voice that
D.K. just did.
No, no.
I want at least one of them to be like that.
Just, just very sad.
One cadetson soldier that's just like, pip, gentlemen, going up to the free of the game.
Why have you made it more parson British?
Why do you make my giant knife?
That's a Mordian iron guard.
Well, Morty and Iron Guard are very much like the Marine dress blues, so I don't necessarily
counts, but I can imagine the PIP.
No, the PIPP is one of those like random guard regiments made for like a Gons ghost book
that are at odds with the ghosts.
Yeah, it's quiet.
Defendryne nobles?
No, Gond, I don't think you know what you were talking about.
I know better than you, Mr. Ghost.
Yeah, is this something like Imperial Guard General?
Wait, what was them in the first Gons?
Because the first Gants Ghost book
You had the Vitrian Dragoons
But they had a bit more of like a
It wasn't like a Jamaican thing
Kind of going on with them
Did they?
They had like a certain accident
I don't quite remember
But they had the other group
The um
I don't remember the name
It was the other like the bad guy
asshole group
And like I
It's imagining more like that
Yeah yeah
Anyway we're off topic again
Steer it back
Kere off stop back
It happens so easily now
I've fully corrupted you
So
So the death world thing, it's not just the fact that the planets are all horrendous.
It's also the fact that they produce such incredible, like, I don't know what the phrase would be, specimens of humanity.
Like, generally speaking, humans from death worlds end up being so useful and so hardy, so capable of making, like, quick decisions and sticking to them, that they just become invaluable in terms of, in terms of things like Imperial Garland.
in terms of like the adeptus arbetes and stuff.
So there's, Games Workshop has gone into it a fair bit.
The fact that a big part of what makes the humans who live on death worlds so effective
is that every single person has to be able to pull their weight.
So no matter how big or smaller population,
if everyone there isn't doing 100%, 100% of the time,
one little bit of, you know, like lackluster effort or one failure or one refusal to do what needs to be done
could lead to just the absolute destruction of whatever settlement they have.
And because there's a massive range of threats, the different death worlds will produce, like,
still very similar, like hardiness, but a different type of hardiness in different humans.
So with Katachan as the example, it's the animals and it's the vegetation are just absolutely horrific nightmare things.
But there's also worlds where, you know, if you step outside of your shelter, you might end up getting absolutely blasted by hurricane winds carrying like sand that is as sharp as razors.
And it requires a different skill set to be able to plan around and survive that.
So every single death world and every settlement on it
has just got the absolute perfect way of dealing with that particular environment
and every single person there has to be able to do their bit to support it
and then if they're not able to or if something happens where someone can't actually
fully do their job or their role that they had,
they will then be supported by other people to try and shore up where that bit would be lacking
so you end up with these people who are incredibly hardy, usually very, very strong.
They also are capable of making quick decisions, they're quick thinkers,
and they also have a kind of impulse to act on it very, very quickly,
which kind of might seem reckless, especially compared to a lot of more cautious.
Like especially with the Imperial Guard, you might see some regiments as being really quite rash
compared to others, but it's because they've grown up in a place,
where if you hesitate, you will probably die instantly.
So you've got to pick a course and then follow through straight away.
That's what I was going to say is, like, you kind of have to be reckless.
Because if, like you said, if you wait a split second, whoops, your buddy and his platoon died.
So, like, you kind of have to be just like, boom, act.
Like, you don't even think you just move, right?
Yep.
And if you make the wrong decision, then you will also die.
Die.
So it's a case of decisions that they do make for the ones who survive.
survive long enough to maybe end up being, you know, like moved into the Imperial Guard or taken off
world or conscripted or recruited somewhere. Those are like the best of the best because only they
will actually survive long enough to be able to be picked up for other roles. Yeah, you don't
want to mess around with old soldiers in 40K because, wow, if you've managed to get old in this
universe, chances are, you, who, who, who, who, what, I mean, it's, well, you know, it's, well, you know,
the old phrase,
the,
beware the older
and a professional
men die young,
you know the usual.
But especially with some of these death roles.
I was trying to remember that quote,
because you've said it so many times to me.
Yeah,
well,
it really,
it really encapsulates the Imperial Guard
of all factions,
you know?
Yeah,
yeah.
But that is true.
A lot of,
a lot of death world people
are a lot less disciplined.
They don't much like authority as much,
which is pretty a rough point
when it comes to
the Imperial Guard,
because the chain of command
is like the most,
the most rigid hierarchy.
But it's,
because like, you know, Katachin,
we talked about, yeah, they,
a lot of times,
commissars are just kind of go missing.
Then you get like Gant's ghosts,
which is, it's like a, you know,
the 10th are,
they have a very, like,
what else do we have to lose kind of things?
They're a little bit sneaky assholes at times.
It's neat.
Yeah.
I do love the, like,
commissars going missing and stuff.
It really just speaks to a,
we don't have time to deal with this.
We're not putting up with this.
We know what we can do.
We know what we should do,
and we're going to do that immediately
whether or not the people above us think it's a good idea.
It's just an instinct thing.
There is something where,
when I was going through some of this stuff,
there's a quote of,
for most of those who grow up on death worlds,
someone near and dear to them has perished in front of them,
in their arms, or in extreme cases,
by their own hands.
As a result, they tend to be fiercely loyal
to the group.
Yeah, fair enough.
Is there any sort of like...
So if the Imperium's like, okay,
we are getting a bunch of guard from Katachin, right?
And we know that these Katachin freaks
not terribly big on authority.
They're also really tough
and they're probably going to kill the commissar.
Did they like specifically vet them and be like,
okay, you're going with this commissar
who is not going to piss you off
and he'll probably listen to you.
is there any of that going on when you like get death world soldiers that are like super hardcore and you're just like um let's put them in a troop that we'll just let them run free if i had to guess it's more of a uh this commissar or a like above commander is a lot more of a i don't really want to just like i'm i'm above the next 200 soldiers for example but 200 soldiers is more ammo than my bolt pistol can carry so i'm
I definitely, like, there is a level of self-preservation that you do kind of got to have, right?
Yeah, as a commissar, like, even though you've got to have the big hat, you've still got to have a brain under that.
Yeah, you got, you've got to realize, like, you know what, maybe I shouldn't, just like, the Katachin or, or God, maybe like a Krieg person, but, I don't know, the Indian Dragoon, for example, is, like, talked back to me, but they're like the one of the most loved members.
maybe I shouldn't shoot them
and have like all of the everyone else
hate me for it
and then murder me in my sleep
I kind of like the idea that
where the where like
death worlders are the most hardcore
and kind of feared
respected troops due to how resilient
and quick acting they are and just how
difficult to kill they are
commissars that serve with those
regiments that came from death worlds
and survive and actually end up getting their loyalty,
they must be, hands down, the best commissars.
They have to be.
To be able to navigate that and not be murdered,
I mean, you say it in your sleep,
I feel like with some of them,
like especially like chem dogs, for instance.
Broad daylight in front of everybody.
Yeah, it's, their world is just horrific, toxic mess,
and they are just a bunch of,
of gangers. So I feel like it would
be a case of, oh, the commasar I'm missing.
It would be the commissar shot one of them, and then
well, we just lost that commissar
straight away. We're not really sure which of
them actually killed him, because they all
fired at the same time. So we're not sure which
you know, which arrived first.
Please send a more tolerant commissar, please.
Also, Kem Dogs is such a cool
fucking name. Oh my God, I love that.
They look great as well. Hang on, let me get
a... They have
one of the best, like,
just one of the best looks.
It's so good.
Yep.
Should I type this in the chat?
Savilar is said to be a world of sinners, heretics, murders, thieves, and...
It is claimed that only one in four born on Savilar knows their father.
Ouch.
The world is blighted by gang warfare and crime.
Only kept in control...
Wait, wait, wait, I lost it.
Only kept in control by the threat of violence from imperial authorities.
Yeah, I really want to be a commissar in that group.
Yeah, no, I'm good.
You send me literally anywhere else.
Also, wow, the chem dogs do look really hardcore.
Yeah, they're great.
They're awesome.
Hell yeah, brother.
Hell yeah.
So, yeah, as, like, as just baseline humans go,
they are kind of the peak in terms of resilience and aggression and, you know,
fast action, but also some of the more difficult to kind of work with,
at least in the Imperial Guard setting.
It has also said that things like arbitrators and stuff,
so the adeptis are quite good in those roles as well
because they have the kind of mindset required to just survive
being in that position.
When you're kind of at risk of death,
no matter what decision you make,
having someone who has faced that down
pretty much every single day since the day they were born,
it makes them pretty good at it, you know?
Yeah, fair enough.
Yeah, like, if, I mean,
Kyrath, are we going to be talking about the Indigen,
um, uh, indigin prefect, prefectus?
I'm trying to remember which, which, which, where, where they come from, which one is.
They are the ones who had a governor, uh, overbreed some, um, uh, some, some, some animals.
Are you familiar?
That was it. Yes. Yes. Yes. There we go.
I do have this.
Don't like the direction this is going in.
I don't like that this is like, oh, you're going to talk about the guy that...
Spend less time on the internet, decay.
Just because you hear the word breed, it doesn't mean it's anything bad.
No, no, no, no, no.
It's not the breed.
It's the overbreeding part that worries me.
Oh, don't worry.
Don't worry.
It's, I tell you what.
Overbreeding animals.
And it's like, oh, yeah, are we going to talk about this death world thing?
And it's like, oh, no.
I don't...
So, we've talked about it before, but like, yeah, okay, so that was one of the things
that was thinking about is the Inding
prefects, a prefects, they would be, you know, very, it's like, oh, God, we're fighting the nids.
And these guys are like, oh, big bugs, please, please.
Really?
So, they, they don't care.
Yeah, okay.
This is probably a good, like, a good sort of segue into talking about some of the, like, specific
death worlds and sort of how some of them came about.
Some of them are just like that.
They, you know, the Imperium just arrived and went, wow, this is a hell.
Hellhole. It's a real shame that there's stuff we need on it, because otherwise we would not even bother touching this place. But some of them are also like man-made. So Indiga is a death world, but it used to be what's referred to as a menagerie world. Which, by the way, one of my favorite, one of my favorite little like tidbits here is the fact that there's, there is a tourist board on Indiga, which I don't know why.
that makes me laugh for,
but I think just in the context of 40K,
there being a tourist board for any planet
just seems ridiculous.
Yeah.
I guess it makes sense for like pleasure worlds and stuff, right?
Yes.
Yeah.
So it was a menagerie world,
so just a whole world full of interesting
and fascinating creatures,
except there was an issue
because there was a,
a guy who was who's in charge, Imperial Commander Constantine
Principal R. Goy, say that quickly.
He used a lot of Indigar's wealth, which came from mining.
So it was a mining world for a bit.
And he used a lot of the wealth from the mining and the mineral wealth of the planet
to just buy pairs of every dangerous animal and creature that he could find across, like,
Pretty much just the entire ultimate segmentum.
So if he heard of a horrific creature that was prone to ripping people's heads off, he'd go, yes, get me a breeding pair of those.
And he would have to shift.
The main villain of a modern day Jurassic Park movie.
Got you.
Yeah, pretty much.
Okay.
And I'm assuming what happened was exactly what you think happened and all of the beasts went crazy.
And it became a death world because, well, now the planet is teeming with these absolutely.
horrendous beasts that are now breeding
en masse, making even more
crazily evolved, killing machines,
and you just,
it's awful.
Wouldn't you know it? You are exactly right.
No way!
Who could have seen this coming?
Who could have seen it coming? It's almost like
it was destined to happen.
So, yeah, there was a massive
earthquake, and the
zoos where the
animals were being kept, like
crumbled and fell apart. The
animals all then escaped into the wild. They started breeding together, and they just became
gigantic, horrendous death monsters that turned Indiga into a man-made death world.
So Indica is scratched off of the Michelin Tourism Guide now. Don't visit here. It's not worth it anymore.
You say that, but there's two things I really, I really like about this.
Firstly, they went full, oh, what's it called? Mortal Engines? Did you see that full?
I was about to say they had to put all their cities on wheels.
Yep.
Oh, really?
Did they just have, like, big walking cities?
They have to constantly move their cities around to avoid the creatures that escaped from the zoo
and then ended up interbreeding and becoming, you know, horrific monstrosities.
So they went full mortal engines and put their cities on either wheels or, like, walking around so that they don't stay in one place.
Oh, no.
I mean, that sucks about these.
animals, but like that's, I love, like, the walking city motif, like the Howells Moving Castle
type stick. Oh, I love that. It's really cool. It's just a shame how they had to do it.
Yeah, it's a shame about the monsters, but, you know. Howl's Moving Castle is hilarious concept,
because that's like a moving home. We're talking like a city version of that. Like London.
Yeah, yeah. London on treads, you know. Yeah. Well, I wasn't sure what else to like reference to
properly get my point across because like Howell's Moving Castle is the only like moving
structure aside from like you know the walking citadel like knights and stuff but yeah I I I love
that motif of like the walking city I love that shit so they've they've got to move everything
around they do also have the indigan prefects I think it is prefects isn't it I'm always I always
stumble on that word um and they have to hunt down the monst
because, you know, they have to do that to make the planet in any way habitable,
even with the city's constantly moving location.
But there is a silver lining to all of this,
because with all of this going on,
the Indigen Xeno Safari Tourist Board still advertises.
No way.
And they promote safaris on the death world to the rest of the experience.
No way.
No, even for 40K, you cannot be telling me they have.
safari tourism trips to go see the bloodthirsty Zenos that make the cities move.
Abelard, book me one ticket to the end of it.
I mean, what you got to think about.
Like, like, you know, every stereotype of 40K is out there.
So if you have an incredibly rich planetary governor who just wants to visit and see like a mountain that eats other mountains,
Like, why not?
I mean, I, I guess.
It just, that just seems so, well, I get, hey, it's 40K, right?
I guess it's not that out of bounds, really.
There is, there is a caveat to this, though.
There is a caveat.
So, apparently, the, uh, the last astrapath message that the board sent was
filled with garbled screaming and visions of broken cages.
So they are advertising, but how well it's going.
I don't know.
Well, I mean, you know what you're getting.
That is an advertisement.
It's like, hey, understand what you're buying yourself into, right?
So, you know.
No false advertising there.
You know what you're in for.
Yeah, Shai's taking the cry.
It was on the, on the, the Warhammer 40, like the,
the Warhammer community site, which is that we had the Indigan Xenosafari Tourist board
lined up as a sponsor for today and they've totally ghosted us.
All we've received as an astrophatic communication filled with garbled
screaming and visions of broken cages, clearly a prank call.
So.
Jesus.
All right.
All right.
Okay.
Cool.
Cool.
Cool.
I absolutely love that.
It's great.
So something out like we've mentioned, we've mentioned Katachan.
We won't go through all of those because like you guys have talked about Katachan plenty before.
Yeah.
Everybody knows about Katachan.
Everyone knows about Katachan.
Something that I hadn't realized until looking into this was I already knew Fenris was a death world.
But I didn't realize.
that they've gone into quite so much, like, detail of, like, how much weird stuff there is on Fenris.
So Fenris is the Space Wolves place?
Yes, Space Wolf's Homeworld.
Very icy, very cold, like, lots of interesting.
Lots of monsters and stuff, and, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, there's loads of monsters on Fenris, and I didn't realize they'd had quite, like,
they've obviously had fun doing quite a exhaustive list of the ones that are,
likely to mess you up. But there's a couple of things that stand out. Firstly, we know what Fenris is
like. We know the kind of overall climate. We know that, you know, there's a sort of, there's a wolf
slash Viking motif going on, a bit more wolf than anything else these days. But they absolutely
love putting the words frost and ice in front of everything. What a shocker looking at the
planet. I would have never guessed that they really leaned into the frost.
Yeah.
Can you guess what else the space wolves put in front of a lot of their stuff?
Spears?
A lot of a lot of Viking stuff?
No, I was...
Curiath, you know what I'm talking about, right?
You know the joke I was getting at, right?
Oh.
I probably do.
It's wolf or it's ice or it's ice wolf or...
There is occasional, to be fair, there is fang.
They do like fangs as well.
They do like fang.
Isn't the name of the main center that,
It's called The Fang, isn't it?
Yes, they live in the Fang.
Oh, yeah, it is.
I gotta be honest, this is a random tension aside,
but the Battlefleet Gothic 2 video game
has a Fall of Cadia opening cutscene,
and there's a Space Wolf-like battle commander,
and he just really sells the role.
He really sells like the...
We sing for the All-Father of Song and stuff,
and it's like, oh, damn, he's really doing it.
It's good.
This is completely unrelated, but I need to be constantly reminded of things like this.
What Legion number is the Space Wolves?
Oh shit.
Six, I think.
Is it six?
I don't know.
That's why I'm asking.
Oh, yeah, okay, it is six.
Okay, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, right, okay.
I'm trying to commit these things the memory, okay?
I'm trying.
I got, I got, Legion 1 is the Dark Angels 2 and 11, gone, and then at, at 3.
three, I'm just like, I don't remember.
I mean, to be honest, I tend to need to, like, look it up before, before, like, if it's
going to come up, I need to know in advance to, like, recommit it to memory because it
constantly gets, like, shoved out of my brain by other things, and then I have to go, okay,
no, let me look at the list again.
And then once I've looked at it, I'm generally okay.
But, yeah, I mean, it's...
Anyway, sorry, I didn't mean to side rail this.
It's just, you know, no, no, no, it's fine.
Obviously, I don't remember these things very...
well.
You'll learn one day, D.K.
I know the eighth legion now, right?
It's the eighth and the 14th, I know.
Pretty, pretty well.
We hammered into you, whether you like it or not.
So there's a few, like, frankly, you know, it's 40K.
So there's obviously some insane creatures and stuff on Fenris.
But a couple of highlights.
There's a lot of frost things.
There's frost mastodon.
There's a frost wolf and a frost lion.
You've got to get frost in there as much as possible.
There's also ice whales and ice worms.
Two things that really stand out.
Firstly, ice trolls.
There's just fully, like, fantasy-esque trolls on Fenris, which is really fun.
There's also Cracken.
You've got to have crackens on Fenris.
Oh, an ice kraken.
Okay.
You also get Sea Dragons, which are basically just, you've guessed it, dragons, but under the sea.
Yep.
And my absolute favorite thing that you can find,
on Fenris, and this is, this is legitimately a thing that they've said lives there,
wrath badgers.
Rad, did you say wrath badgers?
Like, bedger, bedger, bedger, bedger, bedger, bedger, bedger, bedger, bedger, here comes the snake.
Yep, pretty much.
What they've done is they just decided to put honey badgers on Fenris, but make them more
angry and more violent.
Yeah, I was going to say, how does nobody talk about that ancient meme?
Like, I just pulled the badger song out from, like...
I don't know. Yeah, anyway, go ahead.
I find this so humorous because everyone's like,
Brookeie is in his 20s, but he has the brain of an old man.
But then you like say things like this and it just like throws me.
Well, I'm actually old though.
Yeah.
I'm actually old.
Why do you act the way that you do?
It's copium.
That's fair.
All right.
Continue.
I don't want to be old.
I want to be a zoomer, man.
I want to be a hip.
I want to be young.
is. Am I not amusing to you, young people?
Am I? Do I not amuse you? Are you not entertained?
Me, me throwing peanuts into the, into the D.K. Cage.
Ah, look at him. He's coping. Keep going.
I'm just a dancing monkey. Throw money at me, please.
All right. It's well known that memes keep you young. That's what they're for.
I don't think they do, but go ahead. No, they don't. If anything, they age you prematurely, I think.
So we do also, I mean, we do also need to talk about.
There is a death world that was made, I was going to say made famous,
but it was in the Horace Heresy series.
Now, we won't go fully into, like, the plot side of things,
but it is one of the more, like, brutal worlds,
which is a world called murder, which was named by...
I'm sorry, what?
Yeah, there's a world called murder.
I'm guessing this is not on.
the Zeno tourist board.
I'm guessing this isn't on the
Michelin Tourist Guide.
Oh, come visit our wonderful, lush
green world of murder.
I'm guessing that's not on the list.
No, no, it's not on it.
It was given that name
because the space marines who landed on it,
and I'm keeping this vague for when you get
to the book, so it's not like, you know,
spoiling anything. But effectively, the
space marines that landed on this planet
sent a transmission
back to the fleet, and
the transmission ended with
this world is murder
and if you get in that from space marines
you know it's bad, you know it's not great
so the planet itself
suffers from massive atmospheric turbulence
so trying to land on said planet
means that shuttles just get scattered and separated
then when you do land
there are like insane structures
that look like trees
but are made of rock.
And frequently, well, I say frequently, pretty much as soon as a second force arrives,
there's bodies all over those trees impaled on them.
And the main issue, it's not just the trees and the turbulence,
the main issue is that the planet is full of a species that was named the Megarachnids.
Oh, nice!
Like, are we talking...
It looks from the picture shy post
that it looks like giant spiders,
but immediately I was like, is that a Nid planet?
Like, what the Nid?
I wasn't sure it was like a Nid-seated planet,
but the Nids just like didn't...
We just didn't know what Nids were yet, you know?
There's a few things that kind of reference the idea
that's like the Adeptanthum Deccanicus
reckoned that quite a few death worlds
are effectively places that the Turinid seeded,
but then never actually went back to.
So the stuff that's there either evolved or devolved or became separated from the hive mind
and ended up becoming its own species.
Something else, yeah.
The Megarachnids definitely have a bit of a tyrannid vibe,
but they have legs that can just pierce through power armor.
They can sever space marines in half.
They have flying variants that come in and grab you and chuck you onto these trees
and just let you lie there all impaled and stuff.
It's easily one of the most horrific worlds
that I think Games Workshop has put a load of time into.
It's a really good part of that book,
and it's a really, really good example of a death world
just because of the immediate landing
and then just straight away finding out
that everything about this planet is 100% there to kill you dead.
I very, okay, so one, I,
appreciate shy understanding me well enough to say it's like the Rachnai because I get that
instantly. I understand. I appreciate it. Did you kill their brood mother? Did you? Did you do it? Of course
I didn't. Good. Okay. I was going to say if you did, you're a real son of a bitch. I mean,
I did like a renegade play through it. Well, sure. Yeah. Eventually you want to see all the options,
but when you first come across it, right? Like, Renegade and like Mass Effect 1 is just like a terrible,
terrible shepherd. And renegated Mass Effect
3 is like a war criminal.
Like only Mass Effect 2 has a good renegade
where you're like genuinely just kind of a
like a badass. Yeah, because you're sticking it to Cerberus and the
man. Yeah, yeah, it's different. Anyway,
um, okay, because it really
did look like Nids. That looks like
a version of like a, like a Ravenor
or something. Yeah, it does.
But so the way, they spent this, what
Space Marine chapter? It's just unnamed Space
Marine chapter, I'm assuming. So
there's two chapters that went,
but I was being very vague about it.
But yeah, there's one of them appropriated a severed megachnid's claw as a second sword,
but its edge was so keen that he cut his hand just by holding it in his ceramite gauntlet.
Whoa!
So not even like bare-handed, it cut through his armor in his hand.
Just by holding it?
Just by holding it.
Holy shh.
That's a, that's a sharp knife.
Absolutely horrendous.
It's great. I love them. They're so good. They're really, really nasty.
So it's not all just, it's not, you know, all like that simple, though.
There are also other ones that have a bit of, like a bit of kind of mystery to them.
So there is a death world called Malmar, which is just on the edge of the Eye of Terror.
And this one is one of the weird ones. So this shows up in the, I believe it's the seventh, sixth edition of the Dark Angels Codex.
And on Malma, there are these like pearls, black pearls that the Dark Angels
Interrogator chaplains use to show that they've caused a fallen angel to repent.
So they have this specific thing.
Oh, yeah.
I remember talking about these.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yes, I know Asmodai has a bunch on his little torture stick.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, but that's like Asmodai has like eight, which which is like in.
sane or something because you know you don't find that many fallen yeah yeah you used to not find
that many and then the sun of the forest happened and look they're everywhere zabriel my beloved
greatest goddamn character hell yeah brother go ahead care yeah oh god that all works so good
sorry i got distracted by it so that's okay the the world itself is is insanely dangerous
because the pearls that they use they're only from that one
world. You can only find them in the oceans. The
pearls are on a razor reef, which
you know, the name kind of suggests don't go anywhere near that.
And the planet itself and the oceans on that planet
are just absolutely hammered by storms
constantly. And in the oceans themselves, there are
super predators, the size of strike cruisers.
Wow!
So, like, just these giant, like, whale predator things?
They're, like, arthropod ones.
So they're, like, oh.
It's gross.
I'm trying to, I'm trying to think of the best.
Like a warship-sized arthropod?
Yeah, so you've got, like, segmented insectoid.
My day is ruined, dude.
Oh, God.
Okay.
Keep going.
So you get to dodge all of that.
Trying to get yourself a nice,
Pearl to show that, you know, you've done the thing. Yeah, strike, yeah, Strike,
Cruiser is three miles long. So I don't remember if we talked about this in the Dark Angel
episode, but let's say you find a fallen and you're just like, yep, got him. Do you have to go
farm the pearl yourself or is there like a stockpile of these things where they just kind of
hand you one after you've done it? So you have to go and get them yourself, basically. So a newly
promoted interrogator chaplain goes to collect some and then it's stored in uh in their
reclusium in the hope that one day will take it back right right but like after you get like one
of the fallen they're like oh congratulations on getting the fallen here's your token they actually
have like a store room that's kind of like full of them yes they they constantly torture them
for information that they may not have because the dark angels are weird yeah but it's not like uh
it's not part of your ritual
that you specifically have to go and get it after you do the thing.
Yes, yeah.
Yes, so as I'd forgotten this about actually shy,
it said that those who travel to Malmamas face their own darkest temptations,
a test of will that makes all other threats on the death world pale in comparison.
That's a lofty statement.
It's pretty high up there.
They have three mile long arthropods that want to eat you.
Yeah, yeah.
But there is something worse somehow.
Yeah, it's you.
You're worse.
You're the worst thing.
Your temptations are worse.
All right, cool, cool.
Yep, Death World, for sure.
Checks out.
It's a proper, like, and then it gets worse,
which, you know, 4K is really good at.
But it really takes a left turn,
because it's like, here's all the normal horror,
and then you have your own existential ones as well.
Great.
I really enjoy the fact that there is death worlds,
and demon worlds.
And the only difference is whether or not chaos is involved.
But generally life on it is like roughly the same.
I mean, it's not actually roughly the same, but like it's really bad.
The danger level is the same.
It's just one has chaos on it.
I like the, like the demon world is obviously meant to torture and do all these kind of things.
Obviously there is a difference.
But I was thinking about that one world that you mentioned.
Was it the Slenesh world where like you go there and like you're tortured by your own mind or something?
I'm trying to remember how that one went.
Oh, I do vaguely remember hearing something about that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What's the name of it?
But yes, there is one.
There is one light that way you're like chased by your own nightmares and they crawl.
It's like.
Yeah, they crawl out of.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's like a never-ending nightmare thing.
Yeah, the planet is a big lad.
And then the stuff crawls out of its paws and chases you.
Oh, yeah.
Until it gets you.
And then it happens again and again the next like just.
Yeah.
Yeah, and you're like reborn out of its like nose or something.
Yeah, like you crawl.
Do it infinitely.
Yeah.
I can't remember exactly, but it's that sort of thing.
All right, shy's comment here is hilarious to me.
It's like, designation is, quote, this place is unfit for human life.
But the Imperium's case is, quote, this place is unfit for human life.
However, which is pretty like correct when you're thinking about it.
However, we need something here.
However, that adamantium rock there is real special.
Yeah.
We could really use the resources.
On the case of one of them, the people coming off there are just top tier.
We need more of those.
So we'll just let him carry on.
Their greatest export is a rambo.
They definitely wouldn't, would they?
They'd be like, do you want to live somewhere nicer?
No.
We're not leaving.
Why would we leave here?
This is great.
That is basically Katachan, isn't it?
It's just we don't want to go anywhere.
We want to stay here because have you seen what we look like when we leave?
We are the best of the best.
Get out of here.
We shoot you.
Yeah, they're kind of like orcs on Katachin,
where they're actually having a grand old time hunt and everything, right?
Yeah.
The closest to orcs.
So mentioning a planet that's actually a big lad has reminded me,
there is one that has got very little in the way of any sort of full information that I could find.
But it was just the name of it, like just stood out to me.
So there is a planet called Croatowa, which is potentially...
Is it really a planet called Croatowa?
Yeah, it's a bit on the nose.
It was in the fifth and sixth edition rule books.
Is there a lost civilization there by any chance?
Well, the thing is, all I could find is that the planet itself...
Is there a colony of Roanoke that fled there by any chance?
It just, all I could find is that the planet seems to be its own living organism.
So, the name has seemingly got very little to do with what direction they went for it,
but I was just like looking through all the different death worlds, and I went,
Croatowa,
really?
Is that?
Okay, sure.
But they didn't go the way I thought they'd go.
I was kind of hoping that they would just fully copy that, but no.
Oh, well.
It is what it is.
There is also, like, we mentioned Krieg as well.
So, uh, creg...
It was quite a...
Yeah.
It was, I was going to say it was previously quite a nice hive world,
but I think that's an oxymoron.
I don't think you can have a nice.
I agree.
It was a very successful hive world.
I think it's probably very prosperous.
So maybe that's the best way to put it.
But, you know, a slight issue in that at one point the rule has decided to go against the Imperium
and it led to a massive civil war and a huge chunk of the planet ended up being an irradiated hellhole.
And it has become a man-made death world.
But on the upside,
even though the planet is borderline self-annihilated,
we do have the death core of Cree.
So swings and roundabouts, silver linings.
The planet is awful, but we do now have, we do,
the planet is literally just full of toxic awful
that means that you just can't go to most of it.
It's just completely uninhabitable.
There's just so much toxicity in the air,
and there's radiation storms.
but, you know, we do now have the death core of Creek.
So it's not all bad.
Oh, my God, shy.
Look at that.
Oh, I can't wait.
I'm finally getting a vacation from my deployment.
I get to finally visit Gray.
I was going to say, welcome to Planet Brown.
So I can't wait to go to the lovely irradiated wastes of gray.
And then check out the spires of orange.
Yeah.
Look at all that dirt.
I wonder if they love to shovel things on Krieg.
Shovel, Shovel, shrieg, shovel.
Did you know that Kriegs have shovels and they like to dig trenches?
Shovel, shovel, trench, creg.
Sorry, I feel like that's like, you know, you have to.
See, you see, you've gone too far with it now.
You see.
You have to.
I agree that the shovel meme is dumb, but now you've put it too far in the other direction.
Now I'm angry with you regardless.
Yes, let's go.
Mission accomplished.
It only took me like, what, four years?
It's go.
I feel like that.
happened full.
Mission account.
I mean, you know, it's unfortunate, though, too, because, like,
Krieg did come out with a new kill team box, and, like, their models are actually just,
just lovely.
They look just great.
That's true.
They do.
They do.
They're really fun.
Plus, you know, I mean, if you're a Kriegsman, you're, you're so dower.
You've got such, like, a grim demeanor.
Because, you know, what would they call that?
They call, like, the cult of sacrifice in a way.
They're very much, you know, it's like, oh, we need to send a regiment to their,
this horrible death world covered in like God knows what.
And it's going to really ruin the troops morale from anyone else.
But the Kriegsman never complain about anything because they have such a guilt trip that they just kind of like will operate incredibly well in any horrible, horrible environment.
I want to I'm going to read this.
Sycorax population approximately 360,000.
A planet riven with psychic storms.
Any psychers on the planet surface act as a literal lightning rod.
The cyccer will need to wield his talents to bend the storm around himself or die.
An adeptus Ashteratica training facility has been installed on this planet take advantage of the extreme environment.
Wow.
What a lovely day it is to make.
It's like shot with psychic lightning and explodes.
Oh my God.
Yeah. Wow.
Unvint for human life.
However, it would make a great training facility for psychers.
Yeah, but to be fair, if you come off that planet, you are a crazy.
crazy psycher though, right?
Because you are literally bending lightning to go
around you, just on instinct.
That's pretty poggers
as the kids say. I love how
completely, like, banal it starts
out. Because of, just saying
Adeptus Asthmaelopathica
training planet, it's like, oh, okay, well, how
exciting could that possibly be?
Any psychers act as a lightning rod.
It starts out, it's like,
oh, it's just going to be a bunch of people
sat there learning out of you
how to use like boring psychic powers, it's just going to be really dull.
No, no, no.
If you don't get real good at controlling that, you will be burnt alive by lightning straight away.
Let's go.
It's so hardcore.
That is, yep.
That's obviously the export of that planet is psychers.
That's great.
Okay, let's do, let's do one last death planet, because this was completely, completely news to me.
because I haven't really kept up that much for like the RPG stuff.
So there's like a full-on T-R-PG.
I think there's a couple of different ones.
I've got wrath and glory.
There's also dark heresy as well, like 40K source books for playing tabletop games.
I'm going to be honest since we were talking Warhammer.
I haven't been keeping up with the RPGs.
I'm like, there's a planet for rocket-propelled planets.
What?
What the fuck, D.K.
What the hell?
It's a planet where they just, what, they just fall out of the sky with the...
What do you mean?
D.
And I'm, like, so JRP-G-coded, too.
Like, I don't know why my brain immediately went to the thing.
Like, the ultimate man-made death world.
It constantly rains grenades.
Hey, if the alpha-leacher rails to make them all rain snakes, then we can do that, too.
Hell yeah.
Grenade rain.
Go ahead.
Sorry.
Sorry.
Unfortunately, this isn't from the.
rocket propelled grenade book
Dark Heresy, but it is
from the role-playing game.
There is a world called
Fedrid, where
I guess in a way it could
be seen as maybe like Katachan Light
sort of, but there is
just so many... So it's just a jungle.
It's still got awful things in it
just of a slightly different
flavor. So it's a
forest world as opposed to a jungle world.
But they have got
They have got flesh-boring rot worms.
Ow!
So you could get one of those.
There's also, there's also like these little, like, lurking creatures called pitbiles that hide sort of under the soil with snapping jaws that will just grab onto you.
They also have thornback reptiles, which can grow to be the size of Imperial Guard tanks.
Oh, great.
Cool.
Which is great.
There are some predators that would actually be capable of eating a land raider hole.
Not even in pieces, just a whole land raider.
Just snake that thing and just...
Yeah, just fully down it.
There's tree jumpers, which are six-limbed sort of insectoid creatures,
the size of an adult man, but they live in like the canopy of the trees,
and we'll just drop on you and just take you out.
immediately. Oh man, alien drop koalas? Let's go.
This one really is Australia.
The worst one is
the Savak or the Black Death,
which is a massive animal
that can get tens of meters in length,
which is capable of just being completely still
and totally camouflaged
as a dead or petrified tree
until their prey gets close,
at which point their carapace opens up
and they have a bunch of like
sore-toothed tentacles and tendrils,
poisoned barbs, and like beaked jaws
like you find it like an octopus
and it just snatch, grab,
and then close you up and munch you down.
Oh, great, that's cool.
That's, okay.
Yep, mm-hmm, lovely.
Oh, and they also have blood wolves.
So, yeah.
Great.
Lovely planet.
Fantastic.
Blood wolves.
I'm assuming this.
What makes it a blood wolf exactly?
Just because it like drinks your blood?
So you see, D.K., when a blood angel and a space wolf love each other very much.
There's the next poster.
I was going to say, posterize that shy.
Posterize that shit.
No, no, no.
He put that idea out in the ether shy.
We have to monetize it immediately.
Why am I the one saying no to the money?
Why am I the one telling you not to?
Yeah, do it.
Ship it.
Not like that.
I mean, like, ship the poster.
Don't ship the Blood Angel in the space.
We'll ship the poster.
How dare you shy?
That's not something I've chosen.
It's not something that just happened.
Anyway, actual rules for death rules you came up with.
That's kind of fun.
I'm curious about that.
All right.
Let's see the guy here.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
Oh, this is some sixth edition looking stuff.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This is older.
Indigenous hazards.
Self detonating.
fauna, carnivorous flora, the swarm, deadly spores, indigenous beasts, lasher nests,
environmental hazards, flaystorm, the razor hail pelts down with such a fury of flay's skin
from the bone, all non-vehicle units, our treat as being in difficult terrain for this term.
That's fun.
Oh, faystorm is crazy.
Suffocation, rain of vitriol, which is just acid rain.
Hellscape hazards
We've got Haven of Saint
Oh, it's safety
Meteor strike
Gravitic anomaly
Gasly hallucinations
Technonic ships
Just meteor storms
You're gonna skip over burning skies
The skies themselves burst into flame
What?
All units that enter play
As deep strike this term
Okay so it's all dangerous terrain
A.k.a I rolled my land raider
over a crater for half an inch
and I rolled a one and now my land raider doesn't work anymore.
AKA, you think you want to go back to seventh edition
because you're upset about like some Eldar being too good in 10th,
but you don't know what you're asking for.
Yeah, you actually don't want that.
You actually have no idea what you're asking for.
Be careful what you wish for.
You just might get it.
Yeah, so the, uh, that's actually hilarious though.
I love that.
Those are great names and descriptions, yeah.
It's a lot of fun.
I wonder if that's, that's got a,
be like easily adapted to the current edition.
Yeah, I mean, for the most part,
but it's the current edition is so much more, um,
uh, how you say like streamlines that I,
I feel like it would create,
because people didn't care as much if you roll bad in like seventh and stuff
because it was so much more random.
Now I feel like, you know,
oh,
oh,
the Lashor Tendrils have forced my unit to half move is like actually crippling.
It maybe costs you the game.
Yeah, maybe it might be a bit harsher now.
But things are different now.
It's played differently.
But it is a fun concept.
Okay.
I reckon.
We'll do an honorable mention to, because we didn't fully like go through them.
Ball and Caliban and Nocturn, all three of those, death worlds.
Also Pythos, which you will get to if you're reading through the Horace heresy.
Blood angels are stored.
in balls.
Plains are stored in the balls.
Let's go.
Just like the microplastics.
It's stored in the ball.
Just like the microplastics that all people have in their balls.
And on that note, I feel like that's a good place to leave it.
Really?
You're going to leave it at microplastics are in the balls?
No, blood angels are stored in the ball.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Okay, that's fine.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
And we've, you know, we've been recording this on our own.
personal death world. So it's all thematic and it all comes around in the end.
I can't wait for the Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk future where the pollution has taken over the
entirety of the world and we're all servitorized.
Me sending a zip bomb to D.K.'s NeroLink because he was mean to me in an episode of
an episode of Adrick.
Wow, man, I don't think there's like, man, this podcast wouldn't have lasted very long if you could do that,
though, so I'm glad that that future hasn't come to do.
Me sending a pentabyte
like zip bomb directly to DK's brain.
Wait a minute, I'd have to have a brain
before you can ship a virus to my brain,
so checkmate loser.
That's why I'm sending a pentabyte instead of a
terabyte. I'm filling in
all the extra space.
Oh, man, that's fucked up.
Yeah, it is. That's the whole point.
Man.
Anyway, I like death worlds a lot.
I feel like you could just do a really good job.
I think one of the fun things about death worlds and one of the reasons they're so enjoyable is that they're very easy to incorporate into your own fan-made kind of Imperial Guard Regiment or theories.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, definitely.
What's wrong with this world?
It's like, well, it rains acid and then the acid comes alive and shoes off your shoes.
So I'm playing as the fantastic Imperial Guard Regiment known as the Iron Boots because they don't want their shoes to be chewed off anymore.
I don't know.
It's something like that.
Bricky goes right to the feet for his, uh, for his custom made.
Man, fuck you, man.
Fuck you.
It's unrelated, you shit, Lord.
Immediately goes to, ooh, the acid shoot off their shoes and left their featsies all alone.
No, I said, better wear the iron boots to protect my little toesy.
Die.
Shy.
Kill them.
Mods.
Mods send into into the indigatorism.
and have him learn about the creatures.
Please just end the episode there, somewhere in there.
