everyone into another episode of the Adeptus Ridiculous Podcast. My name is D.K. Diomontes. My co-host is Bricky, and he is going to be teaching us all about the wacky world of Warhammer 40K. Before he does, if you enjoy today's episode, head over to the Patreon at patreon.com slash Adeptus Ridiculous, where you can get just some of the most amazing things. Aside from supporting us and the podcast, you'll get access to an HD poster at the $15 rank, where there is a guardsman that is just getting the life squeezed out of him by some bazongazongas zongas from a slanesi demon i'm gonna stop you there dk what what i have a reputation to home there's a different poster you fucking it like a much

shit that was the last poster this one is is a is like a half-naked uh ultramarine yes it's a much better poster i tell you what We're equal opportunity here. Yeah, this ultramine is yoked. This, he is built different. So, definitely check that one. Damn. Yoked? Yeah, he's joked, bro.

Is that some boomer term I don't know about? No, man, that's, the zoomers are saying that. When you're ripped, you're yoked, man. What the fuck? He's fucking yoked. What does yoked mean? Like an egg? Yeah, like a...

You know, he's beat it like an egg. I don't know. Look, Patreon.com slash adeptist ridiculous. You get this fucking giga-chat poster, behind the scenes, bloopers when they happen, which I'm assuming, there might be a few from this episode. And just a lot of good stuff. Access to the Discord.

So, patreon.com slash adeptist ridiculous. Yeah, Bricky, tell them about all that other shit that you tell them about. Yoked meaning origin and examples of the slang term yoked. Did you look it up? Yes. It's a compliment to having very defined strong muscles. It is the word yoke meant a pair of oxen as oxen's are very strong to plow, feel the dirt deep enough and plant the seed in your mom. Okay, okay, got it.

Yooged, dude Br, he's so yoked Oh my God, what the fuck was I supposed to do again? You're supposed to tell him about the other shit Like, you know, uh, where they get some sick merch Yeah, that's right, sick merch, orcaday.com Check it out, hit the description. You got shirts, hoodies, stickers, and dice as well

that we are running low on dice So I'll maybe grab those if you really, really want to grab it now And then don't forget book club of good old Krieg We will have that out very soon as well so you have a very little amount of time left to read that. And we'll have a good old night contest video out also in the first half of April. Let's go.

Yeah, let's go. Let's go. All right, let's go. All right, you want to quote here since we've already gone off the rails? I mean, you can, but like, aren't we just doing the Octarius War part two? Yes. All right.

Hit me with a quote anyway. All right. Dude, you're so fucking yoked. He's so yoked, bro. DK. I wish I was that yoked. I could have sworn it was going to be sling along the lines of you're yoked because, you know, like really mussely dudes. Eat a lot of like eggs, you know, because like the old like drinking egg thing and and then, oh, you're yoked.

You're eggs. And no, it has to do with an oxen. I mean, that's not a bad thought. Like, if I didn't know better, I would go along with that logic, actually. Do you know better? Do you actually know better though? I just told you what I read here I could be fucking lying out of my ass

You have no idea Do you believe I trust you You're a good person I trust that you actually looked it up And you actually know what you're talking about Now may I remind you DK Entertainment before accuracy

If it's funny I could just be bullshitting you completely Oh you son of a bitch Mmhmm Mmhmm Mm hmm Mm-hmm. That's right. That's right. All right. Anyway, we might make that into a shirt. That'd be cool. Do not steal. O.C. Sonic. Knuckles.

Is Idris Elba actually playing knuckles? What? Yeah. Idriselba's actually playing knuckles. He's actually knuckles. Holy shit. All right. Speaking of going fast into a grave, let's talk about our podcast and this episode. I have no quote. We're back at Octarius War part two. And part two and the last part for now. I'm actually kind of interested because looking at it, it seems that this campaign, this narrative, this whole battle is very much affecting the gameplay of the game as well. All of the expansional books, all of the extra stuff going on, definitely have more rules for the factions currently in here.

And also, it's just kind of neat to see how, like, certain things such as Codex covers and stuff like that are basically taking place in this Octarius stuff. She's kind of cool. I kind of like it. All right. But we've reached a very interesting point in the Octarius War where it may not have gone the way you'd expect. And it's kind of interesting. So we begin at the end of our prior story. The, it is a reminder and a recap, Kripman decided to say,

Mm, big red button and, uh, everyone dies. And then the orcs and the nids try to, you know, stalemate each other. Krippin was like, oh, I, I've got to see in algebra. And he made his mistakes. But yeah, we ended with the Eldar maiden world and inquisitor of Vian Roth, who went out to try to use the orc hat and the or cat didn't work. It did not work.

Big backfire. Big backfire. Big, big zap, no workie. No, no power. So with the loss of them, instead, we are now focusing on a particular planet this time around and it is a forge world under the name of Sigma Mail.

What is it really, though? Sigma O'STari. Oh, okay. Sigma was actually in the name. Okay. It is actually Sigma. Yes. They're on that Sigma grind set.

Gotcha. Got you. Good, good. Take a, you know, meme. Add to track, placement. Patrick Bateman, walking forward, green screen, Forge World, Mechanicus Head, me on my way to fight,

orcs, not changing my strategy whatsoever for the 40th time. So, we're on Sigma, Sigma, Singwa All-Starry, right? Now, remember in the last episode, we had Inquisitor, I named him Sunny D. Remember Sunny D, the guy who was newly charged from Cripman? So, this is a forge world, and obviously a forge world, ad mech, lots of them, and it's a very technologically advanced,

like a high world as well, you know, a high world, forge world combination, lots of industry production, so on. A planet already had shown its strength against the orcs prior, And therefore, you know, adding it to the world of fortress world they were trying to create, also known as the defensive cordon, the imperial cordon, whatever they called it, was a really good idea, not only because it is a forged world, but it is also to not alienate the Mechanicus themselves. You don't want to just leave the Mechanicus Forge World and force them all to evacuate. You know, they got a lot of shit there. Yeah. Yeah, you want to be on the Mechanicus as good side.

they're temperamental. Yeah. We, in brutal cunning, we saw how difficult it is for the fucking mechanicist to evacuate, and most of the time they won't evacuate because they don't want to leave everything behind.

They don't want to leave all their artifacts and their relics and their, uh, their stuff's behind. They're fucking finicky little bitches about that. Hell, whenever, whenever we had talked about Deltrian in the night lord's books,

he always carry like a big battle, uh, battle barge, but it's like enormous, like triple-sized cargo freighter just full of all of his crap and his tech slaves yeah he's like, behold

my stuff stuff. What does your stuff do? It's stuff. Now, the Imperium attempting to create this big circular defensive cordon keeping the mechanics in there, these fortress worlds working. Problem is a lot of these

fortress worlds were not getting the resources they needed. They were not getting the stuff that they need to really like up their defenses in time and a lot of the time the Imperium and Sunny D were kind of thinking

can we like try to get some preventative strikes on the Zenos can we can we I think what was the term like Lance Lance the Boyle or whatever it's called where you like get it's like oh it's going like you stop them in the tracks you know you try to

you try to keep them attacking each other and any little bit that goes out to the stray you try to get it and make sure they stay contained But because, you know, a full blade of salt just wouldn't work. Kripman, even for all of his problems, made it very clear that you need a lot in order to get that done properly.

Yeah, a lot easier to contain it to one area than it is to, you know, try to full-on exterminatus all of the tyrannids and orcs. That's, that ain't going to happen. You can't amass that sort of force. There's just no way. But because of them, of this planet of Sigma Ostarian, hearing about its, strength against the orcs prior, a lot of people saw it as kind of a beacon of hope for the sector. So, because of that, especially for many of the planets that were simply abandoned,

refugee ships would arrive at Sigma Astari a lot. And this was to the great annoyance of the Mechanicus, because the Mechanicus were like, look at all these unclean, non-tech, these, what are you doing here? You're interrupting my work. Why are you here? That's true. I suppose the Mechanicus would be a little upset at the sudden influx of fleshy humans

that were not mechanical and had not given themselves over to the machine god. Remember when we were talking about the Mechanicus way back Wem and their whole shtick is the preservation of knowledge, but they don't deem human life as important. Yeah. So naturally, all of these refugees, these scared, frightened people have made their way to the Mechanicus Forge world and were like, help us. And they said, why?

Oh, no. Although if you're a refugee, I mean, it has to be pretty bad. and it is for you to willingly be like, yeah, let's go to a forge world and let's get help from the Mechanicus. When you, I mean, I would imagine in this time period, it's pretty well known that the Mechanicus, if you're a fleshy, human, nothing, mechanicists aren't going to help you, but it sure beats trying to fight off the Tyrannids or the Orcs. well not quite you gotta think you gotta think of the

you gotta think of the civilian what would a what would a massively indoctrinated imperial citizen think you know like what they they see them as

like their servants of the machine god they're annoying sure but they make all your stuff they're constantly like you know they're like professors and intelligent people to you. And they serve the emperor himself and the Imperium. As far as you're concerned, you treat them as much respect as you treat a damn

Space Marine. Space Marine, space is a holy thing, but like, I don't know, like a guardsman. You're like, oh, thank you for your service, sir, and they're just a different kind. Not everyone has a lot of exposure with the Mechanicus, because you've just lived your life on your regular-ass world forever. You might know a tech priest here and there that might help fix some crap. but you don't know much about the Mechanicus you don't know what they do

I mean you know kind of what they do which you don't know what they do Yeah because it's hard to look at the world Like us And then look at the world as what you would be Look at the world like an indoctrinated Imperial citizen Who spent your entire life with ecclesiarchal sermons

And teachings Yeah I guess I keep forgetting How little The like everyday normal average Joe knows about in like the world of 40K. Like they're not really, like they've never seen a tyrannid. They've probably never seen an orc. They've never seen a space marine.

It's probably a rare day when they get to see or interact with a deptus mechanicist. So I guess they wouldn't know, would they? They're just kind of blindly ignorant. Well, not ignorant. I mean, they can't know because they're just being, like you said, indoctrinated by sermons and emperor, emperor, please me. Did they just try and please the emperor?

Yeah, yeah. It took you a while to get there, but she got there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You took the yellow brick road and it just turns out that all the bricks were cocaine. It's a hell of a drug. Throw that, hell of a drug. Throw that gif of Elmo, like slapping his face into the giant pile of cocaine. But so because of this and the large amount of refugees,

the Mechanicus were basically given all rights to do what they felt was needed with the refugees. Oh, no. All right. So many of them arrived on the planet to be used as work horses, work slaves, of course, for the manufacturing lines. Some were never seen again

lobotomized and turned to tech thralls or servitors for their needs Oh boy Okay Some were probably given to the guard And some were just told to wait In their ships above orbit And they just wait for further instruction Because there's too many of you

Wait for further instruction wave for further instruction and then they just starved oh imagine that you get your refugee ship you get away you make your way to the mechanicist they tell you to wait in your ship and then in the ship starts hunger and then rioting and then they all just died for malnutrition and then this ship just floats oh boy go mechanicus let's go mani first cancass oh god

So, it doesn't sound like this is a great, like, you're not getting a whole lot of relief by going here, if any. Like, you're either getting turned into a slave, lobotomized and turned into a slave, or you just starve to death. Or you get sent to the guard. Which, you know, I'd say the guard is the best outcome there. Yeah, that's probably your best outcome. That's your best chance of survival if you're a refugee going here. Holy shit.

I might rather take my chances with the nids. You know, at least you'll die quicker. Yeah. Or try to take my hand with the orcs. At least they'll talk to me funny. At least you'll have a good laugh before you die. Yeah. Instead of just misery and lobotomies.

Oh my god, fucking Mechanicus. Let's go Mechanicus. Let's go. Fuck you. So, naturally, after this pain and suffering, the Tyranids arrive. So the Tyrannins have actually begun their arrival into this sector of space. First thing they try was an attempted attack on a water planet, not the Sigma Male planet. And moving through a lot of these of this big ocean area, it started off pretty strong for the nids. There's always a lot of bio life in the water, of course.

But they actually were able to mostly be defeated by well-placed atomic warheads, which, you know, nuking the nids is surprisingly effective in this situation. However, after that, they went their way to the Sigma All-Starry planet and they got their nids also. However, the Nids normally arrive first and foremost whenever they invade a planet via a body of water. Because normally, there are no defenses in the body of water, or very little. And the sea life there is great biomass. Even the tiny little microscopic particles are biomass inside the water itself. And it can be eaten up very quickly to replenish their numbers and make them very big and strong.

Oh, that's fair. Okay. So they went for the bodies of water on Sigma Sari. But this is a forge world. So what the Nids thought were bodies of water were actually enormous toxic polluted dumps of either acid or straight pure pollution. Of radiation and like just toxic waste, the size of oceans. because this is a fucking hive world. That's, I, you know, I had never thought about that. But yeah, I guess hive worlds, forge worlds would produce a large quantity of toxic byproducts, toxic waste.

And so these places have literal oceans of just toxic sludge and goop. Well, maybe not oceans, but very large areas of toxic waste and nothing. It is so the Nids arrived. They were looking from orbit, you know, and they looked like water or something. So they arrive in there and they just start to fucking die. And so, like, that worked out for a while. They would like the largest quantity would just go in there and then they would not do well. They would just start to decay and die, horrible death.

But it doesn't mean they only landed in the ocean. They landed every fucking where. And they kept on coming. They kept on coming. Even they would land on the buildings and the giant technological spires, Ford spires, what they're called, and the hive cities and all these areas,

they'd have anti-aircraft guns and flat cannons shredding the air of all of these initial spires. and stuff, these guns were firing for hours. Like people were firing or sitting in gunner seats shooting in the sky for hours of just boom, bump, bump, bump, bump, boom, boom.

And they wouldn't, and even then they would run out of ammunition and they'd have to get out and pick up like a gun and just start shooting because they're out of ammo. It doesn't stop. They just never. stopped. It's rain and nids. It's right.

Hallelujah. Amen. But at the same time, despite the, the amount of nids coming, they were holding their own. Sigma Starry was holding their own. Because the toxic waste was helpful

and they were much more prepared than other planets despite everything. And this isn't the main force, but you know, this is, they're doing it. But of course,

things have to get worse. Of course. It's the Nids. Guess who was following the refugee ships? Was it the Orks that were following the refugees? Oh no, so they got pincered by the Orks and Nids? We're going to get all those Umi's in their fucking ships, and then they're going to go take us to other Umi's, and we're going to follow them.

And then... Is that a blood axe plan? It is a blood act. These are blood-axed orcs. That's right. So. Sneaky-ass gates. Fucking blood-axes.

They've decided to, through their very stealthy plan of following the humeys to go fight other humis, they followed the refugees and the orcs of Zaggrob de butcher and Gibbcrung

the face crumper have arrived. The face crumper. It's the most Ork name ever. They arrived to chasing down the fleeing refugees and they've added themselves to the

forge world. However, luckily the Imperium with their massive defense, this is a fucking forge world. Like the mechanic is that full display here, you know? Yeah. They started hitting them hard, but they were pushing

them back. They were holding their own. But the fabricator general of the planet said like, we, we We got like both of our, okay, I would say both of our hands, but he probably has like 40 hands. But you know, like one hand is holding the nids. One hand is holding the orcs. If a third thing arrives, we're fucking done. We're done.

Like, this is it. And so what decided to happen, the tyrannids came back. And they landed in the toxic oceans because they had adapted to it. Oh no, that's right, the nids are super adaptable Yep, toxic waste Oh, you're so screwed! Real shit! Give me that radioactive sludge.

Oh, so can they consume the radioactive sludge now and actually use it? I don't think so. There's not biomass there, I don't believe. Yeah, they just didn't immediately die when they started swimming in the toxic sludge. Yeah, they've adapted to it fully. So now... So fucked. Their lakes of pollution and the like

are now being assailed by massive tons of nids, just pushing through it. And it was actually, shockingly, being held at bay for a little bit. A decent amount of bombers. And I think an entire nighthouse was deployed to deal with the nids in the ocean. And I mean,

the nighthouse was going, full, like, valiant charge. We're talking, we're talking running in there, like shoulder checking, fucking nids and, like, just, just charging into entire oceans of biomass, like, ripping things up because the knights have their valiant charge and power through honor. And, oh, because they're knights. Yes. though nids being nids decided to start doing something called the tunneling horrors which allowed them to start digging out gigantic tunnels beneath the surface and breaking up all the way through the ground into you know the standard areas so now you've got gigantic holes underneath your surface full of nids into complexes into into hive worlds into all of your major production facilities and now we're

Gons and little doodads are spilling out. Even, they've gone so far to the point where even these Nids would go through service tunnels and access tunnels and clog it with their bodies and that would also include ventilation shafts. So, like underground areas, people would just suffocate because there was no air coming in

because it was literally just nids were clogging the air ducts. Oh my God. That is an absolute. fucking insane amount of nids. Like, I always imagine the nids swarming, but to swarm and clog so hard that people are suffocating because their bodies have literally blocked up ventilation shafts. It's like, I can't even imagine.

Also, can you imagine, like, what it's like to be, like, suffocating because the ventilation shafts? Can you imagine what that shit smelled like? Oh, my God. It's just full of just these noxious, disgusting, tyrannid bugs that are just oozing toxic waste. And that's the last thing you smell before you die. Egh! Gross. Shit, man, I might fight the death guard instead of that. I wouldn't do that, actually.

I mean, you're dead either way. At least with the death guard, you have a chance of being converted. Oh, yay. I mean, it's just, you know, silver lining. Silver, silver line, green lining. Yeah, very green lining. Like, things were getting so bad here that the Skatari, like, I want to make this clear. Skatari, soldiers of the Admec, the personal private army, the Admec, were willingly

throwing themselves into the mouths of giant Nidz. because their carapuses were too tanky and they were trying to kill them from within. Oh, wow, they were pulling a drax? They were literally, I mean, because when you think of a Skatari, they're basically just servants sometimes slaves to their tech priests overlords and major dominus.

And they feel pretty much no pain or very little pain because of their augments. So if there's a giant fucking Moloch trying to eat you, you jump in the Mollock and try to rip it out from inside because their carapace, their armor, they have cancer guns,

that they shoot cancer and the nids can't die to that. They're fucking laser flint locks, like they can't get in. They can't get through. Damn, so they go full on drags, huh? Its armor is too

thick to pierce from the outside. It must be destroyed from within. Basically, yeah. He armor's the same thickness on the inside as it has. Anyway, sorry, go ahead. So, things getting really bad, right? Really, really bad. Yeah, real bad.

And then it gets worse. More orcs arise. Oh. You get Tusca Grobb World Killer. The war boss of the Snake Bites clan has arrived to attack planet, which actually, you may seem like it gets worse, but it actually got a little better. Because as soon as they arrived, the orcs were like, who's the biggest get here? Whoa, Tyrannids. And the Tyrannids were like, oh, fuck, that's a lot of orcs.

So they actually, the Tyrannids actually held off slightly on dealing with the Imperium because they had a bigger problem on their side. Right. So they decided to stop. fucking with the Imperium and instead focus most of their forces on the new orc threat. The brief reprieve the Imperium can get. Time to run! Oh, oh, only a little. The forged spires they had were coming down. The trench warfare was beginning.

Yeah, trench warfare, but, well, there were creeds, so maybe there was trench warfare. But the Mechanicus in particular, what's that like that thing? that they have on planes it's like wings you fucking did it you've got it right but god damn d v cooper has taught you well put the flaps down

Cooper vein Cooper vein um no the the thing that like says where they were or like you could be retrieved black box black box black box so the mechanic kiss are

pairing their version of a black box um oh okay deep down in, they have like contingencies on contingencies and deep down in the vaults of the planet, they have their own kind of old school pre-collapse weaponry that they found, you know, old STC shit. Yeah.

That is pretty like no touchy. But super high level stuff that they're kind of prepping because they're basically expecting them all to die and they're prepping to either leave or maybe just blow the planet up. Who fucking knows? Yeah. But despite everything going downhill, everything going to shit, you got snake bites on one hand, nids on the other, the Imperium is barely holding out. Then a giant warp portal opened up and good old reinforcements started to arrive. A couple reinforcements in particular, but one of them, it came in, this is my favorite, like, this is the longest fucking thing I have ever read for a name.

It is the rogue trader, Ava Fallimore's Vengeance Class Grand Cruiser, named, I fucking love this name. The riches he bestows. What a fucking name of a ship. The riches he bestows. For a rogue trader, that's about as good as it gets. So a giant, like a rogue trader grand cruiser arrived with a, uh, with a, uh, Retribution class battleship known as Faithbringer, of course. But the biggest person that arrived, the most impressive, is the flagship itself.

The main battleship of the Black Templars, Space Marine Chapter, with the name Eternal Crusader, of course. Wow. That seems very fitting for the Black Templars, yeah. The Black Templars, Eternal Crusader is like their flagship. It is a Gloria on a class battleship. It's fucking huge. Damn. So they're dedicated to saving this forge world.

Oh, this is like 20 kilometers in length. Like this is a big ass ship and it is being commanded by the man himself high Marshall Helbrecht. Which. Oh, the boy. The boy. You might not know. Hellbrecht much He's the one with the

mini that has the guy that's wiping his sword or something? He has the wiper dude, yes. We haven't talked much about Helbrecht as because we haven't done a Black Templar episode. Yeah. But Helbrecht is he he don't fuck around.

He does not seem like somebody that would fuck around from what little I've seen of him in his mini. He does not seem like a guy that would fuck around. He is yeah, he's a big boy he's got his little attendance, his wimpy dude, and Helbrack in Tabletop doesn't fuck around either. Yeah?

No, oh yeah, he, he's a guy. He's a guy, okay, well, glad we got that cleared up. When you think of Black Templars, think of them like the Space Marine Sisters of Battle kind of deal, where imagine space marines that have taken the idea of overly zealotous, pious, religious insanity and take it to them. Like they are, they are crusaders, old school crusaders who sees Zenos like, well, Crusaders saw.

As the thing is the ultimate sin. Crusader, yeah. They're outside the light of the emperor and anything outside of his glorious light must be purged for he is all. that is good. They're full on, like, they've got their big crosses and their, and their flamers and they're pious. Like, they're probably the most insane of the Space Marine chapters. I would probably call them the craziest.

Damn, really? Like, if you look at the, I mean, look at the picture that Shai showed right above that, like, the dude's armor is covered in the chains and stuff, but he's got bones and skulls on it, and you can see, like, the tabards they wear. You know, it's, we're, we're getting a little, a little close to the medieval crusader edginess, you know. You know, replace Zenos with certain. Any other religious group? Yeah, you know, like, you know.

You know everyone that has ever studied the Crusades in history class, you know what he's getting at. You know, you know. Hellbrecht might be one of the CEOs of racism As far as people are concerned Wow Now I'm kind of like Oh man I kind of want a black Templar's episode Because like they sound absolutely

Fucking insane And a part of me really wants to know more about Like 40K Crusaders and how just fucking Balls to the wall they go Yeah And they're also sons of Dorn too. So they can't read. Yep. Well, I mean, God, let's be real here. Did they ever read? Dad never taught me to read. That's because

Dad can't read, son. Imperial Fist's successor chapter would be the Black Templars. Granted, they are kind of funny too because they look at the Codex of Stardis that Gilman wrote and was like, this is a bunch of bullshit. I'm not going to follow these rules. I can't read anyway. I think every single chapter of space springs is only supposed to have a thousand people and the black Templars have way fucking more than that

and they're just like care about the rules they just don't give a fuck and nobody's going to stop him I guess I mean what's that fucking what's that mean where it's like no little German boy don't go over there it's like the Codex of Stories is a bunch of

bolsheza I I can't, man, now I'm gonna, no, I don't want to block Templars episode. I want to know more about these crazy bastards. Anyway, CEO of Racism, Hellbrecht himself, has arrived. And this, however, this is like, like the eternal crusader. That ship, like big reinforcements are here. But despite this, the orcs would not be phased.

Tusca World Killer would not be stopped, however, as he was, citing his best course of action would be to assault all of the main gates of this forge. We'll try to get into those squishy yumbies. And so they employed the use of squigs and squigosaurus's and squigoths. But they also employed the use sign called the orchiosaurus. The what? The orchiosaurus? The orchiosaurus. Wow.

the naming conventions of these guys is just top tier. What pray tell is an orchiosaurus? The orchaeosaurus, or in this situation, a multitude of orchiosuruses is a squig variant larger than a squigoth.

I am going to assume it is a squid like the size of a stompah or a gargant or something. Like the mech lord's gargant. I'm imagining it. like that, but with with just biological.

Yeah, just massive squig osoruses. So the orchiosaurus used by Worldkiller had six of them with explosively rigged battering rams in an attempt

to smash into the area. And unfortunately, their hides were way too thick to conventional weaponry and couldn't be blasted very easily. But Helbrecht noticed something very interesting. They don't have shields. Oh, okay.

So they can be boarded. Yeah, I suppose they could. Does Helbert take over one of these orchiosauruses? Not quite. Oh. The Scatari and other Black Templars start boarding these beasts in an attempt to take them down. But Halberk himself lands on the first orchiosaurus

with war boss world killings. on it himself. Now, remember the the howdas we talked about on the back of these things? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So these are like... From the Blue Cutting episode.

Yeah. So these are like four or five story tall haoudas on these things. Wow. Holy shit. And they're just... They're fucking huge. And they're just going through

blasting orc ass and all that. And eventually Hellbrecht came to challenge orc boss World Killer a 1v1. However, unfortunately, the darn, well,

you know, the high martial, all that's, yeah, because he's high martial hellbrick, he's not chapter master helbrecht, he's high martial hellbract. Despite this, fighting this crazy orc war boss, they were

pretty evenly matched for a bit, but eventually one solid counter strike from him snapped one of his arms. and then a big punch dead to the face cracked Halbrecht's skull brought him down to a knee but despite this he was positioned for the final blow

but Helbrecht got a good shot off with his combi melta it's a melta gun point blank and then immediately slashed his sword dead into the head of Roadkiller ending his attack and succeeding in stopping the orchiosauruses from murdering everything damn so helper got pretty fucked up he got you got an arm snapped and he got a head bopped bashed in yeah

uh shy wanted us to pour one out for the for the war boss boys uh for old world killer um we barely knew ye for less than uh an episode in the arms an angel We'll get him next time You'll get him next time Imperium

You'll get those Imperium bastards next time We'll blast them one day Yeah Anyway with that Big final fight there Going down and there and dumb A few other players have arrived Very small players

Just for the hell of it The Necrons have showed up A little bit The Necrone showed of? They're just here. A ship or two of them have arrived. Nothing crazy yet. They haven't done a whole lot. They're kind of just looking. Oh, they're just watching to see what happens and see what the fuck is going on?

They're kind of just looking. Yeah. Kind of just looking. The Sychidrix Maledictum is opened up, which is the rift in the world. And it seems that a certain chaos gone, Guy by the name of corn was like, damn, that's a lot of murder. I like it. Bring them out.

Bring out the bloodthusters. Bring out the cultists. Bring them out. Bring them out. Get chaos going. Oh, my God. Corn shows up. And so now we have chaos corn demons and chaos space marines rolling around?

Well, actually, no, just corn demons for now. Oh, well, that's a relief. He only stuck around for like half a day. Corne showed up for like 12, 15 hours or whatever, murdered a bunch of people, murdered a bunch of Nids, Nids murdered a bunch of them, and then he left. You could maybe make an argument

that the stalemate was getting a bit rough because this engagement by Korn actually turned the tide of a lot of the battles. Oh, did it? And maybe Corne was annoyed with the stalemate. And he was like, come on. Get on with it. Oh, I see.

That's true because Corn wouldn't necessarily want it to like be a prolonged stalemate. He would want, come on, let's get some real murder going. Like I want some, I want some souls. I'm hungry. So he probably would want to turn the tide in wonder. He probably doesn't care which. direction the tide goes in as long as someone starts really fucking someone else up. Basically, he just wants you to, he just wants, he just wants to do what he wants, you know,

he's corn, he can, so he does not care where the blood flows so long as it flows. Yeah, gotcha. So, now that the blood has began to flow, we're going to move and rotate ourselves back to the orcs and the nids. There is, get rotated, idiot. Get rotated, idiot. There is a giant orc known as the orc overfeigned. Whoa.

Now, the overfeiend is maybe less of like an actual orc, maybe more like a fancy-pancy war boss, so to speak. It's more of like a title, I guess. And the overfeiend, this giant orc leading the Octarius fight, leading the charge, came one to one with the swarm lord of the, Tyrannids. Oh, fuck. Let's go.

Swarm Lord's such a badass? Swarm lord is such a badass. But not quite badass enough for this gigantic fucking orc, who unfortunately gave it the bug stomping treasure, as it did in fact slice up and kill the swarm lord. But via that, of course, basically nearly immediately afterwards, the tyranids burst out the new swarm lords. with a brand new thing or idea in its mind, which is, kill this fucking over fiend.

All right, naturally, sure, because it seems like the biggest, baddest motherfucker, sure. And the swarm lord needs to deal with it because it's getting annoyed by the slowness that's happening with its battle. So, ensuing after that, the swarm lord once again is just such a big brain the swarm lord was doing all kinds of crap

it decided to make a gigantic biotitan that had this weird translucent blue skin with teeth the size of orcs themselves and they nicknamed it the blue one because it was blue really orc naming conventions never cease to amaze to the blue one

the blue one It's a lucky one because it's blue. Yeah. Frankly, it wasn't purple. It was actually out in a giant dried lake bed in which the war boss and a lot of, or some Ork Warbosses and its boys decided to go out to fight. Guess what? It was a trap.

And a whole bunch of tier-in-is came out from beneath and then wiped them all out. Them, the swarm lord surrounded asteroid fortresses and seated them with tens of thousands of gene-stealers. And to therefore ambush all the orcs retreats, cut off life support, and have them die in the cold vacuum of space. Then the swarm lord, after dealing with fast orcs, would deploy winged organisms to have giant nets of fire, to take shells that orcs were firing at them, and using them to surround and deal with the greenskins. And then they would burrow into the facilities and make their way to the planet and deviant. devour planets from within. Slow digesting tyrannids like the usual, because the swarm

lord is a fucking chad. Yeah. Wow. So, get fucked, orcs, I guess. They then struck at the planet itself, Octaria, the

main orc force. Cut it off from receiving reinforcements, using thousands of bioships to blockade the planet, battling blockade runners, and dealing with all that crap, landing vanguard organisms, destroying the back lines of orcs, murdering the front lines of orcs, and then just saturating the atmosphere with myetic spores. Whoa.

So this is a rather big shift. Uh, orcs sound like they have been well and truly fucked. Um, um, oof. Oh boy, the swarm lord I thought the swarm lord was cool before But now it's just like Oh my God, what a mega-chad Jesus Christ

And it's not quite done yet After that They basically trapped the orc war boss The overfiend in this planet Or not planet In this giant scrap city Known as the mega scrap Of course

And then they just the tyrann in numbers were just endless. Too much, yeah. The orcs found themselves overwhelmed, and the orcs, the orcs found themselves running out of ammo. Wow, the orcs ran out of ammo. They didn't just do a bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.

You know, they're not smart enough for that. That's true, you're right, you're right. That's an Imperium thing. Eventually, the overfiend finally arrived. after well he's already there he's having his crumping but he eventually sustained a thigh wound against a carnafax and that

was when the Swarm Lord made his appearance showing up with hundreds of tyrant guards and carnifxes overwhelming the orcs and then the overfean and Swarm Lord got into their scrap together and despite the overfeet

having a giant thagg thag wound thigh wound I don't know what a thay is. He wouldn't stop or slow. He was still the

orchidious badass fucking 1V1 me coward the whole deal. But slowly the Swarmlord was just better. With his multiple arms, he would parry attacks,

repose strikes, a block here, slice a cord there. He would sever a power cable to his power claw, making it just dead weight. and eventually just with the two bone blades he grabbed him, smashed open his head,

took his mouth and literally ate his brain. Oh, wow! He just I mean, I guess he is a tyrannin, that's probably what he want to do, but damn! He just cracked open his head and just had a little snack of his brain. He sliced that shit open and went big munch.

Holy shit. Wow, the Sformwood is such a badass. Let's go. Oh, that, Jesus. Were there any orcs watching this, or were they all pretty much gone by this point? And it was just like the overfiend against, like, hundreds of tyrannins. Because that's a hell of a thing to see. I mean, I'm sure that there were still orcs there,

but they were, you know, now I'm sure they were like, oh, my God. Oh, the boss is dead. Run. Yeah. I imagine it was Yeah Rip overfeaned He died the way that he wanted

But getting his brain sucked out of his skull shy I mean he fought valiantly He fought valiantly apparently So I mean He did his best but he's dead Yeah against insurmountable odds It sounds like he put up a pretty Pretty decent fight

And that's Kind of where we're at with the Octarius world. The Nids are winning a lot and are possibly won?

They haven't won yet. The Imperium is still around. The orcs are not dead. They've just got a lot, but they are thoroughly in the lead. The Tyrannids have decided to kneecap every other horse in the race.

and they are thoroughly ahead. The orcs are fighting. And like there is still the Imperium, but the Nids are winning handily now. They have taken the lead, full stop. So do the orcs, do any of the, like, how are you going to stop the tyranids at this point? Like, I don't know.

Like you said, they are, yeah, well, if the necrons start going crazy, maybe but like unless there is some because at this point it feels almost like the orcs the humans and the necrons

would almost have to form this most unlikely of alliances to stop this fucking tyranid horde and there's no way that's going to happen there's no way orcs humans and necrons are going to work together it will never happen but it sure as shit sounds like the tyranids

are just going to pull a Hulkomania and run wild over you. So I don't... Good, good luck, Yume's, and what's left of the orcs. You're kind of fucked. Yeah, a little bit. I won't lie. A tad.

I'm not quite sure where they're going to go from here. It would be nice if the Nids actually won a battle, but, you know, they kind of can't because then everyone else dies. Yeah. But they didn't, in a sense. So how often does lore about this Octarius War come out? Because you said this is all fairly recent stuff, and videos are just coming out about them. So when should we, is there any timeline from when the next little blip about what's going on comes out?

every few months generally, because this one is pretty recent. Yeah. This one's really recent. And yeah, I mean, basically at this point, like, they come out with the expansions for the actual game itself and I think with the subsequent books

that go with it, but it is an ongoing current major situation happening out here. And I think, I think, yeah, chaos is next because this is the year of chaos. So I think corn jumping in for a little bit has made them excited and now they're here to cause more problems because chaos likes to kill things or serve their dark gods and in fact I I might call maybe maybe we might see the world eaters and Angron show up Wouldn't that be something so it's not a great year to be Imperium is it? Because like if

It seems like if you're the Imperium, now you've got overwhelming Tyrannins to deal with. The orcs are going hog wild. Apparently, chaos is very excited. So, man, it sure do suck to be Imperium right now, because you have a whole shitload of shit to deal with. And as Shai just said, maybe the squads are going to, they're not squats. They're the, what is it, the League of Voltan? Voltan. Whatever the hell their name is, yeah.

like that, one of those, yeah, not squats. I mean, the squats might show up. That would make sense. They could be helping with that rogue trader, perhaps, because that road trader apparently was known to trade with Zenos very often. So we don't know what her deal is. But also, there is the, I don't know, it's this year supposed to be the year of chaos and all that crap.

But the main thing that I'm thinking of is that the world eaters are not in, or the leaks tell. that they are not in the Chaos Space Marine Codex, which means they would have their own codex. And if Corn has arrived here to sample some tasty shit, perhaps Angron and his boys might arrive as well to sample some tasty shit. Okay, one can definitely hope.

Would love to see Angron come back. I hope you're right on that. Ah, man. Yeah, if they actually release an Angron mini, Shai said she'd shit herself. I, I too would be immense levels of hype. I genuinely think they're going to release an Angron mini.

If there is a... If there is a... Nergel Deathguard Codex with Mortarian and a thousand suns Zinche Codex with Magnus, a world eater's corn codex with Angron sounds about right. It makes sense. Let's go.

Well, And emperous children are in the The emperors children are indeed in the codex So we're not getting anything like for them But if they weren't I would imagine snake fulgroom Oh okay So no snake fulgum yet but we could be getting Sick new ang run mini

That'd be that'd be dope All right, all right, all right, all right Shouldn't get my hopes up too high because it is GW So you know We'll see The next release is like oh hey look, more ultramarines. Oh, come on.

Come on. Here's the big hopein. Yep, the big hope. A big hope. If we should all make like orcs and believe it into existence. You're right. Let's believe it in. Yeah, believe it into existence.

You got a, you got a, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm. That's that anime vibe, right, where you can't actually say, you just got a two egregious. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Anime front-tick. Okay, Typhus.

Okay. I don't want to... And the episode, Bricky. Let us go home. Oh, you're already home. Oh, well, uh, end the suffering of this episode. Jokes on you and your walls. Peace!
