Welcome everyone to another episode of the Adeptus Ridiculous Podcast. My name is D.K. Diamante's. My co-host is Bricky, and he is going to be hitting us in the face with some ridiculous Warhammer 40K lore. But before he does, if you enjoy today's episode, head on over to the Patreon at patreon. At patreon.com slash Adeptus Ridiculous, and consider supporting the podcast. You get access to bloopers if they happen. More importantly, the Discord, where a lot of crazy, cool people hang out. It's a good time.

there is, I believe there's a new poster. It's the the zinche bird, but it's an anime wifu with big boobs, and it's great, and you should absolutely check it out. Also, Patreon goal, if we hit 17,000 there, we will do an episode

on the fan theory, the Dornian heresy, where apparently Dorn goes heretic and all the roles are reversed, and yeah, patreon.com slash adeptus ridiculous. Bricky, tell them the other things. You know, should we just bite the bullet and say, we'll do fucking blood angels at 17k.

Oh. Maybe we should just do it. You know what? There's nothing more fun than ransoming blood angels from our fans. You want your fucking blood angels. We'll hit that next goal. I'm putting my foot down.

Blood angels. Is that going to be a double goal where we do both of them or is it just going to be the blood angels? Yeah, sure, we'll make it a double goal. Fuck it, who cares? I really want a blood angels episode because I think they look cool, but I know nothing about them.

I just think the vampire thing is cool and sanguinius was best boy. So yeah, I... It's so bizarre. We're getting all these new... All these new patrons, like, DK, account three, DK, account five.

Like, so bizarre seeing all these new names coming into the Discord. What's you talking about? I mean, great choice of name, though. I can say with full confidence that DK is a great name. Yeah?

Do you have any bias? No. No, no. Good. No. All right, I got to talk about merch. Merch. Hey, if you were not around for the Wordbearers episode, last week we got brand new fucking merch.

We got little guy collection. You like the little guy meme. Shy doesn't, but I don't care. She's getting paid from it, so she has to begrudgingly sit there with that stupid fucking anime face that makes like the puffed up cheeks and like the lip to the mouth to the side, you know, that thing. It's a SpyX family meme, but yeah, that's fine. Is that what that is? Yeah, it's from SpyX family. Are you sure? Isn't that the anime you said is absolutely fucking terrible and you hate everyone who watches it?

Yeah. I said it. Twitter blew it way out of proportion and overhyped it. I said it was shit. So I want to make this clear, D.K., that you believe that you, D.K. DiMontes believe spy ex-family is shit. Yes, that is true. All right. I'm much, I like when, you know, the more comments we get, the more, uh, the better our videos get engagement. So, you know, we got to push that shit out there. Um, also, Also, the, so the little guy collection, yes, new shirts, new hoodies, four separate types, and a poster print, all for sale now. Orchidate.com. Check out on the description. We also have another poster for sale. As we mentioned last time with the jacked out carn. We are selling this each birded anime poster that DK so lovingly mentioned earlier. It's got big boobs. usual as before, 50 of them with text, 50 of them without text for this month only. Check it out. Grab one if you really want one. And then next month we'll rotate it into the next poster. That seems to Lord of Change anime girls actually really good, though. I'm a big fan. Not just because

Big Boba, but it's actually... I begrudgingly appreciate some of the posters because the art, the art is obviously well done despite the fact that I find it. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's anime adjacent, so I understand your trepidations. Is that the same trepidation you had when you told every SpyX family fan that they are a hard right winger and they hate America? I just say that.

I may have said SpyX family was shit. Why are you trying to get me cancelled? I didn't say that. What about that time yesterday when you came to my house and you were like, Bricky, Bricky, I need a a place to hide right now, okay? I just beat to death. Three SpyX family

fans. And I just, I don't know what to do. I don't know where to go. Okay. Then you start crying because you're like, the anime is so bad, Bricky, I had to do it. Okay. Your story mostly checks out, except for the part where I left my house.

So, um, also me beating anyone to death is highly unlikely. You had those new Voton gloves. Ooh. Rocking stone. They knew what they were doing. They knew what they were doing.

They knew what they were doing. They knew what they were doing. bitches. I know what the fuck they're doing. They know exactly the audience they're getting with those photon bays. They know. We all know. We get it, GW.

We get it. All right, D.K. Let's go ahead. Let's get their, uh... Okay, easy. Easy. Let's go that, let's go that quote going, all right? Oh, man, I'm gonna fuck this up.

And then we can return to you shitting on the fans of that show. Oh, man. All right. Let's do it. All right, let's see. Um, uh, shit. Where my quote go. There we go.

Nice. Okay. Well, I'll ask my quote. Let's continue shitting on them. Oh, what? Hello? Do you have the quote? Yes?

Yeah, you know, yeah. Just want to keep making a meme out of my disapproval of SpyX family? Because Twitter overhyped it? Excuse me? What? Yes. All right, no, I got a quote. Cool, cool, cool.

Um, I personally believe them to be warp tainted and therefore in need of the purging flame. But whilst they fight as allies of the Imperium, whilst they bring destruction to the foes of mankind, well, their destruction remains a low priority. For me at least. Hmm. Brother Cargos, Knight of the Flame chapter. Um, that kind of sounds like some elves. Eldar shit? Just because, like, they're like, oh, yeah, they're totally warped-tainted.

So that's, that's totally Eldar. It wouldn't be Tao, because the Tao don't really have a big warp presence, and they're not really warped-tainted. So I'm assuming Eldar. Eldar also, like, to, you know, fuck around with chaos and, you know, mess them up. Those are the enemies of man. See, it's got to be some kind of Eldar shit. Like, maybe, I don't know.

We've talked about most of the El. We've talked about Kraft World. We've talked about the Dracari. Um, I don't know. There's, there's some Eldar facts that I don't know about that we're going to talk about. That's what I'm going with.

Should I post the image of Bugs Bunny saying no? What is it? What is it? It is something that you would have never guessed in a million years, because you just don't know about this. But so it was more just to make fun of you as you make fun of SpyX family fans. So this is, this is the new meme I'm forcing on to, this is the new meme I'm going to for,

on to you, all right? All right. It's just like how Germa fucking hates Imagine Dragons. Wow, really? Right, Shai. Oh, yeah, he hates Imagine Dragons. That's not that hot take, though. He hates Imagine Dragons.

If you ever ask him, he'll be like, God, I fucking hate that band. I hope they all die. It's pretty crazy, you know, Germa's based. Okay, that is extreme, hoping that they all die. It's a little over the top, you know? Imagine Dragons. not a fan of their music.

I'm mad that I'm mad that shy doesn't get my reference but it's okay. I don't watch Jermah, so I don't Sorry, you should watch Jermen. He's like, he's like somehow blends millennial and Zumer humor. I don't know how he does it.

I've seen clips. He seems like a very funny guy. But yeah, I've never watched this movie. He certainly is. Did you know he's the Zodiac Killer? A what? So today's episode is on the Legion

of the damned. The Legion of the Dam. The Legion of the Dam. It is what if you wanted Space Marines, but they're Ghost Rider. Oh, you've told me about them before. With the flaming heads. That's right.

You mentioned them briefly and how cool they looked. Oh. Yeah. It's if you wanted to be like, you had to go with an edgy contest and you didn't want to go anime and you didn't want to go like

emo boy, you went with these motherfuckers. Hell yeah, let's go. They are very edgy. The Legion of the Damned. So, the Legion of the Damned are a Space Marine chapter, sort kind of not really. The best way to describe, the Legion of Damned was actually a playable group of minis back in 7th edition when I was like 18 years old.

Damn, that long ago, huh? 400 years ago. Yeah. Back then, when I played, Legion of the Dam were a playable force. They no longer are. They have been relegated to something called Legends, which is like discontinued things.

But they still have rules if you want to use them, but they're like not really around. No, they're normally not great. Well, I mean, I've seen their fucking codex this time around, and they're not bad. But, yeah, they basically, the Legion of the Damned, is this group of space marines that

there are a couple possibilities for what they could be. Their official use in canon lore is a bit mixed. Like, for instance, there's, I mean, you can't use them in the game anymore. But they are still, I do believe, canon as a group.

But they're a little bit like iffy. They're a little wishy-washy with their canonization of them. There's a lot of like, I don't know where they're from. Like, this is a possibility for where they're from, but, hmm. So,

the Legion of the Damned are supposed, well, one of the canon theories is that they're very similar to Celestein, where they are an imperial demon. Ah. And they are, they are warp-tainted Astardis. And so if you look at their appearance,

for example, they are covered in general black armor and lots of, like, bones. Bones and skull masks. and skeletons and flame. Yeah, they definitely do. They, they kind of, they do look chaotic. Oh, extremely chaotic.

The only reason they don't is because they don't have like the spikes. They tend to be very like, still smooth, mostly. Just like my brain. Hey, we share a brain cell. Rattle them, boys. But besides the wreath and flame type thing, they're definitely appearing to be warp tainted in a way. Yeah.

They've got a warp effect. to them and when they come and fight for example they'll just burst forth in this cloud of flame and smoke out of fucking nowhere and they trudged their way through the battle they'll like have guns that will fire at them and just just not hit them you just go right through their body like a specter they'll fire like flaming bolts through their guns and if a weapon ever does hit them and does a decent amount of damage to them they kind of just keep on trudging and when their battle is done

you might like someone who was saved by them might look away and look back and they're just gone or they might like fizzle shimmer out of existence. Damn they sound kind of OPE I'm assuming on the tabletop they are assuredly not that OPE but damn they sound hard

well at the tabletop there's kind of bizarre I found their data sheet from Legends which is basically yeah it's like well they all stuff but they've been reclassified it for the new edition. And everything they have is pretty, pretty okay. Like, they have a basic space marine stat line.

Everything about them looks like a regular space marine. They have regular space marine weapons, bolt guns and ship. They're flaming bullets. They fire out of their bulk guns with apparently ammunition that a bolt gun should never be able to carry in a single magazine. So they keep on firing. That, like, ignores cover, just whatever. The biggest crazy thing I noticed on them

they have a thing called a three-up and vulnerable save, which is really fucking rare in this game. The only people who have a three-up and vulnerable save are like Caldor Drago. Oh. And like a Harlequin Solitaire. Oh. And not much else.

And all of these guys have that? And they all have that, yeah. So they're really fucking tough. But they're, um, they don't really like, they're just basic-ass space rooms, you know? I'm assuming that's to go with the idea. that like they're almost like a cloud of smoke with like bullets passing through them

and making them kind of sort of spectral so they have a better invulnerable save? I think you gotta look at them more like ghosts. Ah, like legit spectacles, gotcha. Like a paranormal deity that comes in to bring the emperor's justice as like a haunting spectre and then disappears. That's really cool.

That's a really cool idea for them though. There's a lot of possibilities for their canon. Some believe that they do not rest in the warp, but they rest in this weird purgatory between the warp and material space. Some say that they have a warp contagion that breaks their sanity down and they can use the warp as a power.

Their bones on their body and their insignias do not match any known chapter on record. So they're not a prior chapter, at least not yet. We'll talk about the possibility of their chapter in a sec. but there's no like specific insignia that involves as many bones there are times where like a titan will fire at a bunch of fucking Marines and the Marines will all just die but the Legion of the Damn dude just keeps on walking and sometimes sometimes he dies sometimes he doesn't you know it's like

sometimes you can punch a ghost hard enough it'll get punched if I punch hard enough I can even kill a ghost but you said there's like a warp purgatory that they could residing I didn't know that was a thing that there was... I don't think it is. It's like a ghost story. Ah, so it was just something that was kind of conveniently made up to try and explain the unexplainable space marines.

I think the Legion of the Damned are actually a very well-known entity. It says that they're known across the galaxy, which might mean that even the regular person knows about them, but they're like... Because regular imperial citizens know about the Astardis. Sure. They all know about the Astardis. They may not have met one.

Yeah. But they know about it. Hopefully they haven't met one, because if you're in an area that needs a space marine, you are probably fucked. It's a very good point. Or you're like a slave. Or like a slave, like a worker on a ship.

Yeah, don't want to be on those astardi ships. Those guys get into some trouble. That they do. And they don't care about their slaves. Well, for the chaos boys. Well, yeah, it's true. Well, I guess regular space marine aren't that nice. Yeah, yeah.

They just don't kill them as really nilly. but they're more like a ghost story where the Imperial citizens will have like the Legion of the Dam will burst forth and they'll swight the enemy's foes and then like that they're gone a little ghost story How did their minis look

Because like with the whole Reithed in fire and flames Do their minis look any different Or are they just kind of Space Marine minis And you have to customize them yourself To make them look like Legion of the Damned I think that Legion of the Damned

I think that Legion of the Damned were a mini... Yeah, here we are. I just found some. They were a set, but they were old Forge World Finecast. They're very old. Oh, yeah, those are just kind of... Yeah. I was kind of hoping they had their own set that was actually like...

Like they would have armor pieces that, like, had fire on them or something. But they just painted little flame marks on them like they were fucking a Harley Davidson. motorcycle or something. So very often people will like fucking love their Legion of the Dam. It's a very popular faction in terms of like people just think they're cool.

So they get a lot of kit bashes from that kind of thing. So then you get people who make shit like this. Whoa. And like you get them covering them in like blood and gore and flame and you have like wreaths almost like iron into the sets of the forge, you know?

Oh, that second one is so dope. Holy shit. Yeah, so people themselves might make a Legion of the Dam kind of army themselves. Well, they'll throw a bunch of bones on them and get some fire decals and really give it a good looks and, you know, go hard to that ghost writer skeleton head. You know, they'll have play people who would do things like that because they like the Legion of the Dam. They're badass. And, you know, they just may not run them as Legion of the Dam dam dam, but they'll still run them in a way. They are badass, too, from everything I've seen so far.

they're dope as hell. Yeah, a lot of artwork for it. They're meant to look really, really menacing because they're supposed to look like skeleton, ghost, ghostwriter-looking nudes. Well, who's this fucker that shy just supposed to have the fire halo? Or is that just fan artwork and not actually like

a notable... That looks like fan artwork. Oh, okay. I wasn't sure if that was like a notable Legion of the Damned commander that had a special thing of a boobal. I must admit the... What is it?

The often we have awesome fan art, we can't show it unfortunately in the in the stream or on the videos. Yeah, because it's like fan art stuff and you know, that kind of thing. So if you ever, if you ever wonder why an image might not change viewers, that's the reason. But often the Legion of the Damned have this ability where whatever, they have the usual kind of thing where, hey, oh my God, we're about to die. We need someone to help us. and then they burst in in flames and they arrive. You know, they have a very like saves the day when they need to kind of thing.

It's kind of like what the custodians do where it's like, well, I guess not necessarily. Where if like the custodian has someone they have to protect, they just bloop out of nowhere and appear and save them. Oh, the Aquilin Shield ones. Sort of kind. They act more like bodyguards there, but it's more to state that the Legion of Dam

might have some kind of premonition where they can see the future in some way and then know where they got to be. Hiloquins kind of do a little similar dude add to that. It's a nice power to have. A really funny thing is that recording devices like cameras and shit

that capture the Legion of the Damned On video have effects of being like nearly traumatized by the viewing and so it takes out like the machine spirits will not give up their footage like their footage willingly. So Mechanicus guys have to like

coax the machine spirit to get their footage of the Legion of the Damned? That's, I kind of love that. That the machine spirit is traumatized by the Legion of the Damned and won't give up the footage. Yeah, it's like, they get all spooked. I'm so scared.

It actually is really funny. That actually is pretty funny, yeah. And it's almost like, what is it, vampires don't show up on camera and ghostly figures don't show up on camera or whatever? Is it if vampires can't see themselves in a mirror? I thought they also don't.

show up on film. I know they can't see themselves in the mirror. You're right about that. I don't know. You might be right. I don't know. I could be full of shit too. You could be full of shit. Plausible. It's quite plausible. You are full of shit. But yeah, having to ad me cokes the machines to get them their footage back is a part of the process so they can get some viewership of the footage and know what's going on. So that was kind of like what the Imperium knows of the Legion of Dan. The little ghost story kind of deal, their whole thing. Now, here is the surprisingly in-depth backstory of them.

I didn't think they had a real backstory, but there's quite a lot to this. And so while it still might be allegedly, it's got quite a lot going on to it. So, humorously, there's a quote here. It says, they weren't further events. that much is certain. Their modus operandi bears similarities to that of certain individuals we consider of extreme importance. It is not unheard of for those lost to history

to appear in a state that bears little relation to their original appearance. Given post-mortem ospects readings, it is clear they have advanced telekinetic capacity, presumably psychic in origin. Upon stasis capture, I recommend extensive questioning with a quarantine nilome performed by gifted interrogated. chaplain still attired in full battleplate. Brother Amadeus of the Dark Angels chapter elite first company, the Death Wing.

Damn. Which he is very, I think he's very obviously referring to the fallen in this situation. He's like other individuals. I kind of love how they're just like, they almost exist like a ghost story. I kind of love that. And they're the Legion of the Dam. They look like flaming skeletal specters. I like that they're just one big ghost story.

It's also fun because often when it comes to ghost stories and horror movies in general, the more you explain, the worse it gets. Oh, yeah, definitely. And that is a common factor to try to over-explain the monster. You've got established rules with your story and leave them. So I'm not sure if this little backstory here we have is actually better or worse for them, but they have a backstory regardless. All right, all right. So originally, they are believed to have been an old chapter known as the Firehawks. And the Firehawks were a, I assume to have been a successor chapter of the Ocean Marines.

Though it wouldn't be surprising if they were salamanders considering how flaming they are. But it's assumed that they are firehawks. The Firehawks were sent over to deal with a whole bunch of Eldar, being fuckers. Because that's what the Eldar do. They've been doing it for many years. Being fuckers. And they eventually went to go do a warp jump. Not far away at all, like less than half a day maybe.

Okay. And they never went through. Oh, that's unfortunate. Yep. They never translated back into real space whatsoever. Oh, no. That's very bad. It's very bad.

20 years later, the chapter was officially declared Perdottis, lost the time. Actually, it's something I never mentioned before, but there's this giant bell on Terra called the Bell of Lost Souls and it tolls whenever one of the adeptists like fallen heroes die or I believe so much ring a lot I was gonna say does that bell ever stop I don't know but it rang a thousand times so you know Big bong yeah ba bongs day a night

day and night damn so they are just gone Yeah now a bit a bit later about 23 years later there was an Imperial Navy patrol passing through a little system held by orcs but just check it out stuff you know and they're about to do a jump point and right when they were about to do the jump point

their scanners immediately said weren't weren't weren't no wait fuck stop don't do it there are objects in the way they're like what do you mean there's objects in the way there's no objects in the way what the hell do what I can see there's nothing there and so they scanned the jump point and they found two long cylindrical

objects in their path. Not big. Not big ones at all. Okay. Like, well, they were hauled aboard, and they actually were found out to be coffins. Oh, no. Used for starship burials.

No identification markings whatsoever, but they were shipped back to Terra and opened by the Canicus. And the coffins were belonging to the absolute, which is one of the spacecraft, from the vanished firehawk fleet. Ooh, spooky. I like it. Inside of the inside of it were two,

were the, were two suits of armor of two space marines. But their armor seemed to be members of the lost chapter of the firehawks, of course. But the bodies inside were human, but identification was impossible due to how far they had decayed. The armor colors though And an insignia was very like confusing As it did not match any records

However The serial numbers on the armor and the equipment Made it so that it was issued the firehawks by the Mechanicus Okay Okay So I kind of appreciate just two floating coffins in space That's kind of fun Yeah I mean it's a space sparial you know

Like uh Like in Star Trek where they just sent it him out in the torpedo and just bye-bye. Hermes, don't press that button. Oh, it's when they were going to get sent out into like the sun. Oh, I know that's a few trauma reference. I don't recall the exact reference, though, sorry.

I like that just because Hermes is looking to press the button to eject them all in the sun. He like actually thinks about it first. Like he's like, hmm. Maybe I should. Okay. He just doesn't eject them. But within half an hour, a couple hundred orcs had gone to the, or sorry, let me phrase that.

A year later, there was a research station. I was, I had the wrong tap. Years later, a research station was being attacked by orc-free Buddhas, and then they were attacked from the rear by these mysterious flaming power-armored figures with all these skeletons and bones on them. Nice, nice. And then they left behind a banner that had the chapter banner

of the Firehawks and inscribed upon it was a high Gothic motto, which says, and I'm bad at pronouncing this, but you know, whatever. Indicato imperitum ultraarticulo mortis, which is for the emperor

beyond the point of death. I like it. Spooky. No. For the emperor beyond the point of death. Spooky. That's a good say. So, it's a very good say.

So, it is assumed that after this ban and stuff were shipped back to terror as well. It is assumed that they went through some kind of metamorphosis through the warp, obviously. So what eventually happened was that they found a recorder from, I forget exactly from where they found this recorder. but they found a recorder. Shitted back to Terra after the Legion of Dam had saved the research station from the orcs

and it apparently found the truth of what happened. So following their jump, the firehawks were caught in a warp storm, really bad warp storm and a bunch of their ships and like almost all of them

were destroyed in this warp storm. Yikes. Killed or demons murdered them, whatever. Yeah, it's a warp storm. You get, you fuck around and find out. So one ship

made it out. out. A single ship made it out super fucking off course, even farther than the light of the Astronomicon. Like, way at the age of space. And after the loss of this fleet, the firehawk in the ship number 200

all of the Gene Seed had been destroyed. All of it. That's not good. All of their initiates were killed. They had like a mobile fortress monastery. Kind of like the Imperial Fistu. Yeah. And like, I think they raided them a fortress monastery for Gene Seed and

in the Night Lord's book, they had a mobile one, and that one got destroyed. Chapter officers were gone. None of the humans survived, and all of them had been mutated by this intense exposure to the warp, where their skin would begin to blacken and blister,

and their flesh would begin to, like, putify and, like, fester a bit. And they began to, well, die to this weird, like, warp disease. So. It was not fun to be a fire hawk. No, it's no lamentor, but it ain't great. No, no, yeah, it's no lamentor, but what is?

No, no lamentor. Saying that's no lomentor, no lomenor is a, it's not a high bar to reach. No, that's a low bar. Well, at least we're not lamenters, but we've, you know, got warp disease, so. So half of them died to this warp disease. but the ones who survived were were not quite sane anymore shocking

their pain and like sheer level of pain and despair of this disease made them just really screwed up in the heaven and because they're doomed to this horrible death they kind of become became obsessed with the idea like they kind of want to die but they're still space marines

and they're still loyal to the emperor so they're like, okay, I want to die, but I'll die for a fucking purpose. So they got a little bit of creak in them. A little bit of creak in them. They got a little bit of creak in them. A little bit of creed in them. A little bit of creed in them.

No nukes. I guess this time the nuke disease is just warptain. Just warp taint. So they go on out and they fight the emperor's fights like this. Maybe secretly wanting to die, but fighting their damnedest in an attempt to, you know, still save the Imperium from its enemies. Sure.

And so now they have this similar theme because they're so obsessed with death of bones and skeletons and flame and fire and read their armor and this kind of stuff. There's no hierarchy. The chapter's offices are all dead. They're just kind of a group.

They just fight. Hmm. And since they're... That's kind of cool that they're just like a group and there's no hierarchy and there's no leader. They're just like, yeah, We're just a... I don't want to say they're a hive mind or anything,

but yeah, they're just a group of people that got tainted by the warp, and here we go. That's cool. Yeah, they're just a group that are ready to go do the Emperor's Bidding as Spooky Ghosts. Apparently, there's the concept that they use the Emperor's Tarot.

Which have we ever talked about the Emperor's Tarot? Uh, no, I don't think so. I'm just assuming the Emperor playing with tarot cards and reading people's future and... You're not wrong. That's about what it is, but not quite. It's also known as the Imperial Terro. It's a pack of 78 psychoactive liquid crystal wafers

that are supposedly... I'll repeat this. I pack of 78 psychoactive liquid crystal wafers. How is something a liquid crystal wafer? Dude, this is 40K. Come on. What the fuck? This is 40K. Oh wait, hold on, hold on.

That are linked to the psyche of the emperor of mankind in the warp. Okay. All right. Ah, shit. D.K.'s brain's broken. What's wrong, man? Did you watch too much SpyX family? Yeah.

I don't know. Something about a liquid crystal just is, I can't wrap my head around that. A liquid crystal wafer. Yes. It is indeed. Like, if it was a crystal wafer, I could get it, but something about it also being liquid is just,

I don't know. It's stopping my brain functions a little bit. Go ahead, go ahead. I'm just going to imagine these crystal tarot wafers cards. Basically, what they are is since they're psychoactive and is soon to be, like, measure with the emperor himself, his psychic ability,

they're used to foresee the future. Much like regular tarot cards are meant to perceive the future in some way. Sure. But this time there's a little bit of a psychic aspect to it, so it's got a little bit more, a little bit more of a,

um, legitimacy to them. I was going to say, it's a little more credible since it's coming from the emperor, and he can actually, you know, see it. Shai says, DK, you know where you can see liquid crystal

on your liquid crystal PC display, also known as LCD. Is that actually what that fucking stands for? Is that actually what that stands for? On an LCD stands for Liquid crystal display Holy fuck Really?

Holy fuck Oh my God I'm so stupid Dokes on you I have a plasma Actually I'm not sure What my monitor is I definitely do not have a plasma

I know I paid a lot of money For my monitor so Oh Big man on campus here With his toilet Made of gold And his fucking Dead

Damn, he got me, everyone. Wow. Who, man, how will I ever recover? Holy shit. Woo, Bricky with the hot fire insults. Man, that insult was so fire. No wonder we're talking about it with the Legion of the Dam and all their flaming armor.

Holy shit. Got him. I accidentally fat finger my mute button when I said dead. I was going to say dead SpyX family fans, but It just ended at dead And then you were on a roll So I don't want to stop you Thanks I appreciate that

More like Legion of the Dam He got you Yeah Legion of the Damn Got him All right anyway We're stupid Just two apes throwing shit at each other And then Shai's there to clean it up

Like a zookeeper Yeah She does a really good job of cleaning up too These episodes turn out almost Comprehensible so Almost Well done shy Well done on the edit

But yes, they assume that the Emperor's Terror was used by the Legion of the Dan in order to find out where they are the most needed and attack the enemies of their, you know, foes. Yeah, got it. Yeah, dead. Got it. Dead. Kill them dead.

Kill them dead. Send in the ghosts. Send in the ghost marines. Send in the ghost marines. The ghosts of the angels of death, I think not. Actually, that's not the worst That's not the worst comparison Angels, if they are

So anyway, they are definitely Warp tainted in their own right Now if we're taking the concept Of their warp contagion, their disease Is certainly Nergel sounding Pain and despair And yeah, it's very nergly sounding If these are indeed

The Firehawk chapters As it appears to be You know, it's a pretty cool way I'd say. I don't think it really ruins them overall. No, no. It makes them kind of cool because they're like the ghosts of the Firehawk.

And it's hard to tell also, like, what exactly is pushing them forward? Are they the Emperor's demons? Like, the Emperor is helping them out? Because they are, they're obviously warped tainted in a way. Or do they just have warp-based

powers now and they use it on their own volition? Because they obviously won't be accepted back into the Imperium. No way, no how. Oh, yeah. With any sort of warptane, if they tried to get back into the Imperium, they'd get, I assume they'd all get just executed. Yeah, the Dark Angels will have a field day. Oh, yeah.

And so because of that, it's like, okay, well, we obviously don't want, they obviously don't want that. They don't feel like that's an acceptable situation for them. So now it's like, okay, what do we do? Well, we're Warpedain and we've got all these fucking powers. So just keep killing off more and more of the Imperium's enemies and let's go from there. Huh. So, I guess it's just now dawning on me since we had this conversation about like, oh yeah, they can't return to the Imperium because warp-tained it. Obviously, they'd get...

Um, so... Jesus Christ, excuse me. It's okay. They're not actually getting orders from anyone. They're just going around being like, does that look like a threat to humanity? Yeah, let's kill it. And they're just kind of vigilante outlaws that are just doing their own thing and trying to sort of. sort of help the Imperium? Yeah, in a sense. Huh. That's kind of crazy. It certainly is, it's got a cool aspect to it.

Yeah, they're like, they're vigilante, outlaw, ghostwriter, Batman faction. Vigilante. Outright. Outlaw. Outlaw. Ghost writer. Batman. On Batman.

Ghosts. Faction. On fire. On fire. On fire. Well, I guess that comes with the ghostwriter part, actually. Sorry. Well, they kind of, yeah, they have a bit of a stick in between.

Yeah. No motorcycles, though. Yeah. And I mean, like, that kind of is the thing. That's why there's not a whole lot of lore on them overall. There's a couple battles here and there, you know. There's like, there's the idea, or not the idea. There's the couple of battles like, oh, they have this thing called the pyro cataclysm of Villadad prime.

And the doom of this and the great bastion. of this, a prize denied and all these fucking names of battles that you know, GW loves their crap. Yeah. I'm assuming they don't have any like dreadnots or anything like that. They're just space marine troopers that are just like, well,

we're on fire and we're warpedainted. Let's go fuck around and help mankind, I guess. Yeah, I believe so. They were around recently, yeah, during the Black Crusade during the Fall Acadia. Oh, well, I guess everybody probably was, yeah, that was all hands on deck.

And not only that, but they were around quite a lot after that because the warp rift caused a lot of goddamn problems. Oh, yeah. I bet they would. They probably found a lot of work after the eye of terror just split open. Yeah, that's fair. Apparently, it says, I'm looking at the chapter organization, and they normally have a lot of tactical and devastator squads, which is regular squads and heavy weapons squads. They have bike squads as well. It says the Astardis, the Legion of the Damned, have even seen to make use of some.

heavy support elements such as rhino armor personnel carriers or a venerable dreadnought Hey So there is a Legion of the damn dreadnought Dreadnought, okay Is the Dreadnought on fire too? Most likely

Hell yeah You know That'd be such a cool dreadnought Just covered in skulls and Fire and it's a warped tainted Corpst thing in there Oh that'd be so cool You know I uh

I actually I was talking of a buddy of mine when we remember we were talking about the white scars and the idea that we just remove their dreadnought's legs

and it's given like two treads yes I'm just imagining that but like but like having some back to the future flames being left behind

in their tracks from the from the lesion of the dams when this baby hits 88 miles an hour you're gonna see a lot of dead heretics fuck yeah

that'd be so cool It's all painted up like a hot ride. Oh, hell yeah. Yo. Hell yeah. Yo, hot wheels. Just get a bunch of real-life hot wheels minis and stick some Legion of the Damns in their driver's seats.

That's what the Dreadnots are. They're hot wheels. Legion of the damn dreadnought. Hot wheels. I guess the Rhino could just be a hot wheel. Actually, wait a minute, Legion of Dam, you make you some bikes. They have bike squads. Oh, yeah, you said they have bike squads.

Yeah. They're ghost rider hot wheels. Let's go. Cannon. Big ass. like choppers, motorcycle-looking things, you know? I can't say choppers much because the, uh, because they have the orc chappas. Yep.

Who's chopper is this? It's Z's. Who's Zed? Zed. Z's dead, baby. Nah, so who's dead? Who's bike is this? Like, it's chopper baby. Who's chopper is this? It's Zeds. God damn Bruce, Bruce Willis. It's the best. Zed's dead, baby. Zed's dead.

So I'm glad Zed's dead Oh God, yeah Zed is gonna suffer a painful Most deserved death Just like the enemies of the Imperium, DK Mm-hmm They deserve to die I'm well

Are there any enemies in the Imperium that don't deserve to die I think the Eldar Could maybe be okay Yeah they don't always End up slaughtering the Eldar sometimes they work in tandem with the Eldar, you know. The Necron's are kind of cool, but they're also a little racist.

Yeah, a little bit. Tao or, well, Tao were okay until, you know, Tower's still okay. Brainwashing. And there's the far side enclave that don't deserve to die, I think, right? I don't know why I didn't think of Tao initially. Maybe because I just don't think of Tao much in general, because they're blue and stupid. Wow.

I can't believe you would talk about the eight like that. I didn't. The eight is colors in red, remember? First, that unclear. Well, yeah, but they're still towels, so they're still blue. Shh. Shh. It's okay.

And, I mean, just look at Torchstar's abs, dude. No, that's not canon. That's totally canon. Why can't that be canon? You don't know. She has abs. I'm sure. What?

Come on. And she's got a fire bikini, right? Isn't that canon? Oh, maybe she's, He's a Legion of the Dam, the fire bikini, you know? Ooh, okay, hey. There's the flames. Let's go.

Well, she is on fire. Yeah, and yeah, sure. That she will be on fire by a time. Legion to the Dam would done with them. That is true. The Legion of the Dam would probably show no mercy to the Tao. Absolutely not. They would set them ablaze with bolter and stab.

Which actually, speaking of, the weaponry they use, like they do operate like a pretty regular space marine chapter with their weapons. They just have weird ass shit. Like, they still use, like, bolters and heavy weapons. and melta's and flamers and swords but they just have a little bit of extra thing. Like I would not be surprised that their swords were on fire. And their bolters are firing

flaming projectiles with magazines that should not be that large. Yeah. And you know, shit like that will happen. Flaming chain sword. Hell yeah. Flaming the chain sword. That's so fucking metal, dude. The multi-melta that is even more melty than normal.

The, oh my God, the melta spewing fire while it is also itself on fire. is a microwave gun of flame. The flame thrower is firing flames that are even more flammable. I like the flaming flamethrower, yeah. That's good. That's good. It's literally melting in their hands. Like, oh, God, we got to hurry. The melt is melting.

It's too hot. Too much fire. Did you see my Twitter post about that Iron Warrior and his gun? No, I did not. Oh, my God. Look at this gun Oh no I did see that What is what is that?

Well let's start with the fact that it's belt fed It's attached to his arm It has a teeny little magazine on the front I was gonna say it's a belt fed But what's that what's that magazine on the front for It's also got a flamethrower Caster's got like a stabby part on the top And then a chainsaw on the bottom

And a pointy needle in the middle In the middle that'll never hit anything What are gonna use that? What the fuck is that thing? That is, that is, you are right, that is the most chaosy GW ultramarine, not ultramarine, that is the most chaosy GW space marine weapon I've ever seen. I kind of forget, but like, I forget sometimes that iron warriors are, are not just regular Marines that look like iron warriors because they're less tainted than some.

I forget that they're actually pretty fucked up sometimes. Yeah, like, look at that, that guy is, whof, boy. There's a lot going on there. That is a, that is nightmare fuel Man, and all the fucking attachments And Jesus Christ Anyway, D.K., what are your thoughts on SpyX family? Uh, oh, I guess we're perpetuating a meme

So I find it to be incredibly shit And distasteful Weren't you the guy who said that you really liked The, uh, um, What was that one dating anime? That one, you're gonna have to be more specific. What was that one where it was like, uh... You know how little that narrows it down!

God, you're... that's so right. You're fucking... Goddammit. What's that anime you said you liked recently? The anime that I said I liked recently? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, uh, rent a girlfriend. Rent a girlfriend. Oh, no. So, D.K., rent a girlfriend.

You're a big fan of, right? I mean, I enjoy the manga, yeah, sure. I wouldn't call myself a big fan. All right. All right. All right. I've set the stage. I've created the firing line.

Oh, boy. I'm going to get absolutely fucking annihilated by any anime fans that we may or may not have for calling SpyX family. Fucking shit! The saying that I unironically like Rent to Go. I am going to get absolutely. Roasted, dude! Dude, you know who else got roasted? All of the Legion of the Damned.

Exactly. All right, end the episode.
