everyone to another episode of the Adeptus Ridiculous podcast. My name is D.K. Diamante's. My co-host is Bricky. He's going to be telling us all about the most ridiculous things in Warhammer 40K, although today's a little bit different, but we'll get to get into that in just a second. If you enjoy today's podcast, head over to patreon.com slash Adeptus Ridiculous to get lots of wonderful bonuses, like access to our Discord, HD posters, which I believe there's a new sister of silence, one that just came out. It looks goddamn fantastic. I love it. Wonderful. And yeah, patreon.com slash adaptist ridiculous. Go check it out. HD poster. Wonderful. Bricky, uh, merch and book club. Merch and book club. If you like to check out some merch, go to Orchid8.com or check out the

description of this video. We have tons and tons and tons of stuff. And because it is Christmas, I'm assuming it will probably not last long. So get it while you can. Because sales always increased during Christmas time because that's just the way it works. Also, book club, we are reading Kyivus Kane. For the Emperor, that will be soon, actually, as this month is almost over. And so it'll probably be arriving in week one of December. Oh. Give the gift of ridiculous.

Give the gift of, that's great, D.K. Put that on a shirt. That's great. That is great. I would love to make more merch for Christmas if unfortunately the people who run my merch aren't being absolutely swamped right now. Ah, that's true. They would be swamped right now trying to do everything for the, the holiday season.

Yes. Next year. Next year. Our fans are very generous and they have been buying a lot of merch and they're looking at me like, this is a lot, help. And I'm like, nah, bruh, you don't. You get the fuck out of here. You lowly peasant.

Be gone. It was about the money, Spider-Man. It's about the money, Spider-Man. It's about the money, Spider-Man. It's about the merch, baby, and then I, and then I whip out my dick, and then I just, like, start pissing everywhere all over their parade, and then I would leave. Oh, wow. That, uh, that got, that got a little dark.

A little dark. They're, they're working to the bone. They're stressing. They're sweating. You just come along and piss all over the workshop, and it's like, hey, man. Hey, man. What's more luxurious than a golden shower? Literally anything.

All right, D.K., so today's topic is not a topic. Hey, no guessing, no quotes. Let's go. I win. I mean, I could make you guess about a quote if you'd like. No, no, no, no, that's fine. Don't stress yourself out. I wouldn't want to put any more added work on you. I wouldn't want you showing up and pissing all over the place. So it's fine. That's good.

We don't want me to go pissing again. So today is a pretty special day. It marks our one year anniversary. Let's go. Holy shit. I didn't think it had been a year yet. I was like, oh yeah,

we've been doing this for like three months, right? It's like, no, this is a year anniversary. It's like, wait, what? I am shocked. It actually has only been a year. With the amount of popularity we've gained. Oh, that's fair too.

It's so strange to see in only a year how, like, fast this podcast is skyrocket. It's kind of surreal and kind of crazy. It is little nuts. Yeah, damn. It has grown quite a bit. It really has between, like, our super generous people over on Patreon, and then the Discord's pop in, and then, like, I mean, I know you don't ever leave the house, so it's okay. But, you know, not nods aggressively.

Hey, hey, hey, I don't. I left for Thanksgiving. Oh, you did? That's right. You were gone. Yeah. Yay. Run of applause.

Yeah. Well, let's go. But, you know, I get a couple people. Like, oh, actually, I went on vacation on Friday to a Mammoth Mountain, and I was at a target up in Hesperia. And there was a guy at the target. And he was like, hey, I watched that's ridiculous. Where I'm like, dope.

That's weird. Cool. Sick. Find some better content loser No, please don't Please don't No, please don't No, it was

It's kind of crazy Having people Like in real life Say they watch that stuff He was starting a Sigma Army It was kind of dope Oh hey, nice I've worn out my I'm a tank

hoodie But I guess I don't go to any places Where Warhammer people hang on I guess my local grocery store Doesn't really Is it really a gathering place For 40K people so No normally if you want to go to a gathering place

For 40K people go to a games workshop, you dingus. Oh, well, I don't think I have a games workshop near me. You absolutely do. I do? You live in San Diego, a major city on the west coast of California. You absolutely have a games workshop. It may be like 20 minutes or 15 minutes, but it's there.

I have to leave my house for a whole 15 to 20 minutes. No, more like 40, because it's 20 to get there and then 20 back. Oh, God. Huh. It's a good thing that you have. have audio books to listen to on the way there and back. Oh, yeah, that's right. Kai Kai Kifis Kame, Hero of the Imperium.

Right, I do. I feel like I'm going to have to eventually show you that video, like afterwards off stream or off video because we don't like React content. But I will have to, it's like a five minute one. It's pretty great. Okay. Anyway, so for today's special episode, I believe Shai has actually gathered some questions

because we're doing some little Q&A stuff, talking about how the podcast got started, just a little bit of a background on the podcast and how it all came to be and some questions that you all had for us. We want to do a couple shoutouts. Shout out. For people who have contributed to our podcast first, of course.

A big shout out to Ted Zero. Ted Zero makes all of our thumbnails. It's actually pretty great for YouTube. The simplicity is really good but the nice colors and stuff. It really, it really adds a lot. I don't know of a lot of other 40 key people who have similar thumbnails,

so it really adds a lot to our podcast. Thanks, Ted, you absolute Australian douchebag. Okay. Yes, you do. You do amazing work, Ted. You're fantastic, you, douchebag. Hey, man, you know what they say? If you fall over, your friend helps you up.

And then it kicks you back down. Your best friend laughs at you and shits on your chest. Poster artist for our, monthly posters goes to I don't know if I pronounce this right Hallestay! Hallisday! Hey! Oh wait, were the

Warframe originally? Yeah, they did a lot of Warframe stuff and then they just do kind of a lot of Wifu stuff. They did, for Warfram they did a female stalker, like an anime female stalker, and it was pretty great and it was my phone wallpaper

for like three years. God, I hate you. I know. I hate you, too, buddy. But how else they does do some really, really good stuff, I will. Oh, hell yeah. The posters are big draws and they're fantastic.

As for our animations and our logo, we have Noddle. That's why I was said, Noddle. Noddle it is. For those of you who liked our animations, I mean, I'm a Tank animation, sure, a shit popped off. Legendary. Legendary. And, of course, our logo, our main logo, is all done by Noddle. He does a, I'm not sure as a he or she, but they do a really, really good job at all that stuff.

Love the animations, would like to make more, we'll figure out a time to make another one at some point later. Yeah, definitely. And last one at least, intro theme is by Sinvicta and his band. Hey, Sinvicta's dope. Sinvicta and his band. Yeah, it's really cool that we're able to kind of make a little Frankenstein as a, is a, a derogatory term for that, but like kind of grab people from all these different kinds of areas and all put them together into one of our little, our little shit.

It's a good amalgamation of talent. Also, I would, uh, I would also like to say that a lot of this credit should also go to Shai as we do not, we do not handle all of this technical stuff. Uh, shy does all of that. Yep, she does the editing. She does the Patreon. Uh, she does the YouTube. She does, she does all.

She wears many hats. She does all the technical. All the technical stuff. Anything and everything like that. I mean, your boy here does the topics that handles the merch, and D.K. just sits like a puppy and listens.

Yep. I'm just here for the lulls. I'm just here for the lulls and the memes and learn about 40K. Yep. Yep. DK, do we want to hop on and off about reading questions? Do you want to read or answer? Sure. Well, I'll read the first question if you want. Go ahead.

First question is by Shadow. What started the Adeptus Ridiculous? Was it D.K. Shy or Brigie who brought up the idea? Adeptus Ridiculous was all Shy's idea. It was completely 100% Shy's baby to do the Adeptus Ridiculous. I'm trying to remember. I know she wanted to do something in the content creation sphere of like 40K, but she wasn't sure what she wanted to do.

do, like when she was doing like art streams. And then she just approached me about Adeptus Ridiculous. And I was like, sure, why not? Because Shy literally drags me kicking and screaming to success most of the times. Like usually if I'm off on my own, I'm just kind of sitting in obscurity. But shy usually drags me into like successful projects. So I had no reason to say no. It is unfortunate how accurate that can sometimes be.

Thank you Warframe worlds. Thank you Warframe. Thank you Warfram. Thank you, Shy. You're just chilling half the time. And Shai's like, hey, you want to hear some money. And you're like, oh, cool. Lovely.

I would love to partake in some of those bags of money. Yes, yes. Yeah, I mean, that was basically the same thing for me. I'm assuming that, because I mean, we all met Warframe based, right? And Shai's Warfram Stream. And Shai's Warfram Stream. I think I was invited to one of the art streams at some point. And then, you know, Shia made a little very sarcastic Warframe videos, et cetera.

But I think it was because you, I think we were. you were on her art stream and you I think even Luton was there or whatever and you didn't know Jack all about anything Warhammer and I had just recently come out with my every factions explained video which

like like popped off yeah yeah and so and then she asked me it's like hey you want to teach DK what Warhammer's like and that was yeah and then that was kind of the thing it's very much her brain child

and we're kind of the puzzles that fit in the... Well, I mean, really, she's the only one of us with a brain, so, I mean, if it's going to be a brain child, it kind of has to be hers. Someone's got to do it. Someone's got to keep us in line. But at the same time, it's like a... It's like mutually sure destruction. She keeps us in line, but without us, she can't do it.

So there's a lot of like... It's like back and forth, just this constant amount of mad. Yep, yep. We have to be crazy. She tries to keep the crazy in check, and it's just... It's just a whirlwind. of trouble. Yeah, but she always downplays the fact that she's just

as degenerate as we are, but she has to act like a handler. And I'm just, one thing's good off the rails, the true side shows. If you have seen Shai's edits, I mean, they are hilarious and they make those episodes so much more fun to watch. But she's just as much of a degenerate as we are

with her SpongeBob memes and shit. I mean, come on. I mean, in the beginning, when we first started making Among Us jokes, it was, she was like, Zumanga stuff and then now it's like just the yellow crewmates it takes the entire fucking screen just twerking his ass off

yep Mm-hmm You know what you did shy You know what you did You know you know you know what's up Mm-hmm Mm-hmm All right

What do we got for our next question It says By Darth Evie Chan Okay Evie is the best Pokemon By the way So fucking cute Anyway go ahead

I always like Vaporian Oh no don't Don't. Did you know, D.K. Please don't. No, no, no. I know this meme. I don't want to revisit it.

Please don't make me revisit this meme. With the benefits of hindsight and experience, are there any episodes you wish you could redo? Most of the time, I'd have to go through our entire catalog of episodes. Maybe I'll go to the YouTube channel real quick and check it out. I gotta be honest with you. Like, there's no episode that I really was like, oh man, what a blunder. What a failure. I wish I could totally redo that.

I mean, maybe like some of the early, early, early ones, like our first few episodes, just because at that point, like, we weren't used to doing a podcast, and we weren't used to doing a podcast like with each other. So they might have been a little less than what we do now. But it's not like they were disasters either. So, yeah, I'm scrolling down. And I think maybe the only one would be the alfarius one, but only because my mic audio,

we had the audio problems. That doesn't really count. We lucked out on that one. Yeah, seriously. I, like, honestly, almost all of them I'm pretty okay with. The ones that we would always get the most shit for is just if I was incorrect on a fact, but that's often.

I tend to be, it happens and whatever. There's so much stuff to remember to. It's like, you forgot this one. name and there's one battle that, you know, there's one name and one battle of like 60 pages of lore and it's like, oh, sorry. Yeah, it's the fact that I can't do everything without it taking 14 hours. Yeah, that too. I can't really think of anything in particular.

Perhaps maybe, no, I think I was fair enough in the Craft World's episode. Elv people just suck. Yeah, fuck those elves. Yeah, fuck elves. Sorry. No, actually, I think we were okay on that episode. I don't have a particular one. No, I'm thinking I'm pretty...

I'm gonna have to read, watch it to truly know. Yeah. Nothing comes to mind as like, oh my God, we really fucked that thing up. Oh, my God. They've all been super fun, so... So Spiker Wolf 5896, are there any episodes that you'd want to make a part two or continuation for?

Ooh. Ooh. Um... I mean, I think we might, well, I think we want to do like Deathguard again. Oh, sure. Just because Deathguard is, like we did Deathguard 1, but not Deathguard 2 kind of thing. Yeah.

I would love a continuation on the Tao, actually. And well, maybe not, I guess they're Tao, but I want more on the Far Side Enclave and the 8. Okay, that works. I can work with that. Yeah, I want my anime boys. I know you said they are absolutely atrociously trash on the tabletop. But lore-wise, they sound like a bunch of badass anime mech fighters, and I'm here for it. Oh, I don't give a shit if they're trash or not on the tabletop.

That's just the way it be. It's like, ah. It just be like that, yeah. It just be like that. It's whatever. But overall, I think the one I would want to do a part two the most to is the Silent King episode. Ooh. more necrons.

I like, because we did The Silent King as like our second episode ever, and I like The Silent King as a character so much that I would enjoy revisiting that in its own right. Hell, to an extent, I've actually, along with Kai Kai Khykai Kivis Kanan, I have actually started reading the Twice Dead King, the new Nechron book. Oh, how is that? Very good.

I don't know if it was quite, be infinite divine level, but I think it's because it's not quite as much of a comedy. Right, it's a lot more serious. I'm almost curious about instead of doing a book club, just doing an episode of the damn the guy. It's really interesting. So, maybe.

Are you thinking that we'll be doing Twice Dead King for the book club too? Or are you just reading it on your own? Because you're just like, fuck it. Everybody keeps telling me to read it. I'm reading it on my own because I want to read it. And if we do it for the book club, I'll read it again. Cool. Because I was going to say, like, please let us do that one for the book club. Everybody he's asking for it.

Okay, that would be a dope one. Oh, yeah. Yeah, no, I mean, part two's,

besides, you know, flushing out some of the other legions we've done prior. And then, uh, maybe if they give us more

off legion stuff, we can, we can get a little bit more specific on those. But, no, that's, I'm feeling pretty, I'm feeling pretty good so far.

Mm-hmm. And, like, I'll always want to make more sisters stuff. And actually, I, you know, A follow-up to the custodias.

That's one I would like to do, actually. Yeah. Okay. And it's good timing because. White Panther Gaming. What was your favorite moment so far in the podcasts? Ooh. I know the answer to this one, but you go first.

Favorite, like, every week is a new favorite moment, though, is the problem. Because we go so off the rails. I mean, it's hard not to say the I'm a tank story. It's really like, I know we made it into an animation. It's a, it's a popular animation. It's a popular shirt. But that story is so fucking stupid and it's so great. And yeah, I mean, I think I'm a tank.

I'm actually, I didn't know you mentioned that. I'm tied. I'm tied between macho man Randy Savage commissar in the walls. Because that just went, that went so off the rails. So off the rails. Poor shy having to edit that together. I also think that I would put a pretty good spot for the Alpha Legion moment when I lied to you and then just stayed silent. Right, you son of a bitch.

That was pretty good. I thought you were actually going to end the episode on that when you did. I genuinely was like, if this is a short episode and you're ending it just so the next episode gets more traction, I will hurt somebody. But yeah, that's, uh, that, uh, you. motherfucker. That one or macho man Randy Savage, one of those. Those are all good moments. I will second all of those. Yeah, definitely.

So, okay, so next up is by Who Noob, which topic was the most surprising and or fun to research and which topic was the most disappointing and or boring to research? I can list the boring one actually very easily.

Horace. Oh, Horace was boring? Horace has no backstory. Well, I suppose that's true. We don't know what Horace did on the planet that he came from. We don't know his childhood. It's all lost to time or whatever. It's really bare bones.

And I think that's the whole point because he's the good boy and he needs to blah, blah, blah, blah. And the thing with Horace is like, it doesn't really matter what his past was. Like it was probably a fairly bog standard whatever passed. What matters is when, you. you know, he starts thinking about turning traitor and, you know, heresying. Yeah, that's the more interesting thing. Yeah, he probably had a very normal whatever pass that just doesn't matter. Like, even if they wrote about it, it would probably be very bog standard, who gives a shit.

Yeah, he grew up and he went to the school and nothing happened, and then he went on to fame, and who cares? Yeah, yeah, that's pretty up there in terms of, in terms of boring. As far as things that I really liked, it's tied between two. It's between the world eaters and the night lords. So if you remember the original night lords episode is the reason that I got into the night lords to begin with. It's true. Because someone was like, hey, let's do a CSM Legion.

And I'm like, okay, why not? And then we picked night lords because I didn't know anything about them. I'm like, wait a minute, these guys are fucking dope. If I recall, right, you were actually, you were thinking it wasn't going to be that great. Like you were going to, ah, yeah, night lords, they're just the most terrorist-y terrorists that ever terrorists did. And then the episode started and you're like,

these guys are so fucking cool. I mean, they are the most terrorist people that ever terrorist did, but they're also super cool. That is true, they are. But yeah, I remember you being very, very shocked at that. I thought that Conrad Kerr's was just super edgy emo Batman, and he is, but he also has a lot more. I love the, I'm a big fan of Slavic stuff.

Slavic media, and so it's a lot of more of that than I expected. But also Angron. I unironically just thought Angron was big Angry Man. Oh, he's so much more, yeah. He's so much more. I am shocked that he probably takes the crown for most depressing backstory of all the Primarks. Yeah, he had a rough go of it.

Ooh, yeah, Angron. He had a really, had a really, bad time. It's like born a slave forced to shit oh wait no, born to shit forced to wipe born to shit forced to wipe um yeah

yeah and then M saves only him not his comrades he has to watch all of his best friends die and then oh now you have to serve me and it's like oh if you're angry like you just have yours in pain consistently and if you're not and if you're not angry then you're in more pain yeah

And it's slowly killing you. And every time anyone wants to be your friend, you beat the shit out of them. And then he goes and leaves to a random jungle planet to kill himself. And it's just like, holy shit. Yeah. And then doesn't his lieutenant have to come by and be like, hey, stop being such little bitch, bitch? Yeah, that's our boy, that's our boy, Karn. Oh, yeah, Karn.

Oh, yeah, Karn. Oh, Korn. Flex on them, fools. I remember being the most surprised at Pritcherabo. I Yeah Yeah I cause I just thought he was like sure

Petchalant Manchowl Mm-hmm Yep But he's a badass He's a bad man I I fuck shit up I yeah I was only a little Impressed with Perchurabo

I was kind of impressed That it confirmed my suspicions of him being a total insale But I was also impressed to the volume of strength he provided the same time. It was, I don't know, it was kind of nice to have a character who's just so petulant. And that, and like, I don't know, when you have these demi-godlike figures, it's cool to have a primark that does stupid human things, like being mad at stupid stuff and whining.

He almost killed our illiterate baby boy, though. Yes, almost an illiterate baby boy. Well, maybe he shouldn't have been like that. Like, dare you attack my nexus Temotic fortress? Even I don't know how to get out of this one. I bet you won't. I bet you won't.

And then he does. And then he kills like 80% of his legion. Yep. Imperial Fist almost got Imperial Fisted. Imagine that just that level of a flex. That's hard core. Because the Imperial Fist is no joke.

As much as I lull on Dorn, I actually think he's super dope. His armor is super cool And he's no joke Like he'll That's a big deal Fucking up Robador and the Imperial Fist

Jesus Wait until we talk about the phalanx This fucking crazy shit man All right Uh Shy you are up next Yeah shy What's the next question

Jesus Oh Lord Drawing pant For the trio What was your first exposure To TT RPGs or Warhammer Oh boy I do

not have a ton of experience with tabletop RPGs. I never really had a group that wanted to play them. So legit, my first exposure to Warhammer was hosting Shai's art streams, her painting some Warhammer minis, and then the chat being like, Oh, have you ever heard of orcs? They're fucking crazy. And then I was like, hey, orcs are crazy. I want to learn more.

that's me that's pretty fair that's it I played dawn of war a bit in high school but I didn't really know much about 40K and it wasn't until

well I'm sorry I knew about 40K because I played the space marine third person shooter and I read like a book or two and I was very young like 13 or so

but I wasn't hard into it or the tabletop until my manager at Dairy Queen shout out to my boy Jacob I think I told a story a few times, but basically he's just, I asked him about, hey, like, what's all this Warhammer stuff at the tabletop and all this thing? And then he went to the back and wrote

down every faction on the whiteboard and said, we have an eight-hour shift. We're starting with the space marines. And I was like, oh, fucking God. This is going to take a while. Let's go. Damn. And that's how I got into the tabletop there. For Shy, she says, my first exposure was Avaya Total Biscuit, rest of the soul, of course. Indeed. He loved 40K and he talked about it a lot on his YouTube and podcast. I was like, what the fuck is he talking about? Next thing I know, I'm reading 40K wiki for 10 hours straight.

That wiki is a drug. Damn. You would really, you don't have to deal with a DK, but that wiki is a drug. The pain man, more so to Bricky, but in all of your time playing tabletop. What was the dumbest move you've seen somebody do that actually ended great for them? Ooh, that's a very interesting situation. there. Something dumb

worked in their favor. The dumbest move that actually ended great for them. You know, it might have been you know, it might have been when I fought my buddy Demecchi. It wasn't necessarily a dumb move,

but it was very early in our gameplay. I may have told a story once or twice, but I was playing Imperial Guard, he was playing Tao. This is during 8th edition. And I, had two Valkyries and I dropped a whole bunch of Sions filled with hot shots, plasma, and MELTA. And I did a lot of damage like in the drop. But then he moved a bunch of his like riptides

and crisis suits really close to me to get good like angles and shots off. But because of his distance, I could have got within Melta range and and really done the hurt. And I didn't think he had the firepower to actually kill me because at the time he just didn't. Um, And then what he did was he shot a Valkyrie and I rolled a six for it to explode. And I used a re-roll and I got a six again. And it blew up and it took out a good half of all of my Sions. And then he shot the other Valkyrie and I rolled a six for it to explode. And it took out the other entire section.

And I think by the end of that shooting phase, I had maybe two Sions left. He took out, I think, 600. with explosions of crash and burn Valkyries, and I was just sitting there like, fuck. Jesus. Of all the times, the role like triple sixes. It's definitely not as much of a bad, like, it's not really him doing anything dumb.

Maybe his movement was poor at the time, but honestly, it's more of that, it's more of like, oh my God, my role, what the hell? Yeah. I was going to say, don't Tao want to kind of stay back? Generally, yeah. I don't think, this is really early on in our gameplay, so I think we're all still learning a little bit more. Gotcha.

I was going to say, like, that having not played the tabletop, just hearing, yeah, he moved his towel closer. I was like, wait, what? And, yeah. Yeah, it's definitely more of the, it's the fact that Meltta guns are short range, but the shorter the range, or the closer you are, the more damage they do. So it was like, ooh, you're really close. I'm going to hurt you bad if you don't kill me. And I don't think you're going to kill me.

Oh, he killed me. Damn. Towsuits are really cool, though. They are dope. I want to get me some crazy suits and stuff. Episodes you are dreading the most slash most excited for from Stealth Ninja 3. Well, D.K., what episode are you most excited for? You have a topic?

Oh, I mean, I would be remiss if I didn't say I was most excited about the Thousand Suns episode. Or like the Magnus episode or like an Airman episode, right? Because Thousand Sons are my boys. Aside from that, Ravengard. I think the Raven Guard looks super cool. I know nothing about them except various memes about Corvax. Corvus. Corvus, Corvus.

That one. I just think their armor looks cool. They got that kind of like Raven beak helmet, and their jet packs are really cool. So I want to see if they're as cool as their armor or not. Fair enough. I must say, D.K., you are part of the problem. Because your favorite thing you're looking forward to is two separate space marine legions. Well, at least they're not ultramarine.

Fair. All right. Completely fair. I'm dreading a little bit on doing the Thousand Suns episode I won't lie. I actually don't know very much about them. And I'm scared of doing them improper justice because I feel like, similarly to the L fans, there's a contingent people who legitimately believe that Magnus did do nothing wrong. He didn't.

He did nothing wrong. You're right. You know, the line between irony and, you know, Stranger than fiction, all that kind of stuff. Yeah. Yeah, it's... We'll see how it goes. Even as a thousand sons fan, knowing what happened, it's like, yeah, I mean, EMPS is a bad dad, but there are definitely steps Magnus could have taken to ensure that he did not fuck up to.

Yes. By Cavert P. Is there anything you regret including in an episode, A Lore Mistake or a Dumb joke? I didn't realize Angron was who Angron was. I thought he was Angry Boy, and I said he was angry boy often. And that was completely fucking wrong. And so a couple times I did that, and I'm like, oh, shit, damn it.

You know, I think it's gotten to the point where I genuinely regret saying that Rocholdon was a I think it's gotten to that point. Because the more and more I find out about Dorn, the more and more I like him. And it's going to be really weird for me to be like, hey, yeah, guys, my favorite primark is Dorn. But didn't you say he was an illiterate idiot? Yeah, I sure did. A lot. It should be, it should be praised with changing your mind because people on the internet don't do that.

That's fair. That's fair. They just stick to their stupid guns. Mm-hmm, because changing your mind is apparently not okay online. And to me, I certainly changed my mind on a couple factions, no doubt. Oh, yeah. It's okay to change your mind. It's okay to have, you know, your opinion change as you learn more. I guess that's also a taboo on the internet learning. I must admit, I feel like, I truly feel like the newer 40K, like, like 40K, like 40K, like 40K, like 40K, players jump into the hobby and they're like ooh cool blue

ultramarines or like or guard or guard or something and then and then the more middle tier 40K fans are like I really like playing the white scars or the salamanders or yada yada kind of thing and then I feel like all the really dead die hard 40K

fans are like yeah chaos has it right man the Imperium sucks if you're going to get into 40K though it's okay to start with ultramarines. They might get a lot of heat from people like me that think they're boring, stupid,

and don't deserve the time of day, but as long as you get into the hobby, that's all that matters. Have fun. I've seen a lot more veteran players with CSM than most other things. I don't see a lot of new players playing chaos. I see a lot, a lot, a lot of veteran boys.

I don't think I've ever seen a person playing word bearers over 35. Okay It's a fact Lego Zilla wants to know What's your favorite 40K book so far? Oh Um I wish I could just jumble the

Night Lord's trilogy into one I know right I probably would do the same Um What was the last Night Lord's book called? Voidstocker I might go with Voidstalker Voidstocker at the end made me feel a certain kind of way

with the betrayal. Ah, yes, yes. Yeah. The completely, completely on brand, but still painful. You don't expect Knight Lord brothers to do that to each other, when they're so tight-knit and it's just like, whoa, whoa, whoa, DK, wait, did you not read the fucking book? They fucking hate each other.

That's true, but they always, like, fought side-by-side-by-season. side and it just... No, they literally would scound their armor off their buddies and steal their shit. Sure, but it's not like they killed each other and then, well, I guess they kind of do... I don't know. It just, it felt really bad. I... It felt bad because of the situation with his mental state and all that stuff.

Yeah. Don't pretend like night lords are nice to each other. Tell us how to kill like four people over that fucking sword. That's true. He did. He did. Blood Reaver, they kill like an

entire other squad. But he finally came back from like, you know, instead of being like kind of corn-esque. Well, we don't want to,

we don't want to spoil it if people haven't read it yet. I guess. I agree. It was such a heartbreaker. And it's just, oh, fuck yourself.

The Infinite of Divine is also, like, up there. I think those two are kind of like tied because I always have a special place for Infinite and the Divine our first one

and, you know, Trayzen's wacky antics with Oregon. I think we're actually on the exact same page. I mean, I would pick Blood Reaver as my favorite of the trilogy because that's when you get

Maruk and you get that scene with young Talos and his mom, which is just fucking heartbreaking. Yeah, that is, oh. It's also when you get introduced to Varioil and Lucoraphrus and yada, yada. Yes, yes, yes. I know that's not Lucoraphas, but yeah. Every time I hear a rapist.

Yes, yes, yes, yes. And I probably tie that with it. Well, okay, my favorite book is it's the trilogy, it's the Nightlord's trilogy. absolutely. But right after that, I would agree, Infinite the Divine. No, I think even the Divine, despite being our first book, it does actually

it is unironically a top 5, 40K book. I think it's incredibly good. Oh, yeah. I think it just lags a little bit in the middle in my opinion, but besides that, it's really great. Yeah. Even if you don't know anything about the Necrons, I feel like they give you enough that it doesn't really matter if you don't have any background info.

It's probably the best introduction to the Necrons. Yeah. It might take you a little bit to understand certain things, like what an immortal is and stuff like that, but understanding Necron personality, culture, politics, how they fight. Adeptus ridiculous started with the premise of a 40K fanatic teaching a complete newbie about the universe.

Over time, D.K. is going to become more and more versed but until one day he's as deep and as bricky. Do you think when that day comes, Adeptus ridiculous won't have the same feel? You're going off of the assumption that I'm going to learn. So I don't know that it's ever going to get to that point, honestly. I don't think it's ever going to get to the point where Bricky's like, hey, guess what we're doing today, D.K., and I guess it perfectly, and I know everything that he's going to talk about, and it's all going to be like hunky dory.

I genuinely don't think it will ever get to that point. And if it does, I don't know. I think that so long as you aren't reading stuff on your own, we can instead infer on, like, ideas. but like you, I've taught you about a pretty large amount of space marine legions and things like that. And even so, you know, if I make a Salamander's episode, you'll be like, oh, is this the part when Vulcan gets tortured by Conrad? And I'll be like, yes, and then I'll go into more detail. But that's, yeah, it's not like, you know it happens, but you don't know maybe specifics. Exactly, yeah.

And honestly, if that does happen, it'll probably like four years. And by then, who knows what the podcast will be like? I mean, I probably take more than four years. there's such a large backlog of 40K stuff that honestly it would take like a decade. It honestly would, and there's also the new stuff that keeps coming out. Also with new codexes, they change things sometimes.

And also, we might talk about orcs again in like two years just for the sake of it. Because they're fun. Yeah, who doesn't want an orc episode, you know? Who cares? And we all know, I don't do any outside reading. I won't even watch, I won't even watch

40K YouTube videos in fear of like getting spoiled on something. So there is no risk that I am going to somehow overshoot Bricky in more hammer knowledge. That is not a danger that any of us are worried about. Also, Shai says that she wrote down 260 plus topics.

We've only covered 62 so far. So if you do that if you do that math-wise, we got a little bit, we were one out of four years down, a little over four years down. So, and even then, I mean, this episode is... More stuff's going to come out.

Yeah, and this episode in its own right, is like its own week, so... Mm-hmm. They got time. Yeah. We've got a little time. From Florida Katachan, Man Went Wild.

Wow. Love it. Great name. Bricky, what was your horror movie idea with the Arco Flagellant? You never mentioned it in the sister's episode. You only briefly mentioned it in the custodian one. Oh, um, I had the...

concept where it's like an imperial world, like a, maybe not a hive world, but it's just some kind of world. And they get invaded by whatever, it's chaos cultus, who cares? And then the sisters of battle come and they deal with the problem, and then they leave. But it follows around like manufacturing workers. So you can kind of have like the 40K aspect in there where they kind of prey and they do all that kind of stuff. But you're really just following around blue collar factory workers, not on like a hive world, so their life isn't as shit a little bit more of like a normal. life. But one of the Arcoflagellants that the

sisters used survived and is off its programming or in a sense it's on its programming. And so it's like wandering the giant factory. And you know, these factory workers just kind of turn a corner and then there's like a guy there just

minced into ribbons. And you're like, oh my God, what the hell's going on? And then this thing is kind of drooling and you can hear like the quiet sounds of the Imperial sermons being played into its eyes. And it's just kind of like crawling and twitching through the, uh, the halls.

And so I thought we can use that as like a, as a classic horror movie. We're trapped in, we're trapped inside the factory. We got to get out. Yeah. Yeah. And it's because I've always said,

the best way to do anything 40K is to do a normal fucking story. And then just give it the 40K code of paint. Um, our, arcane of league did the exact same. thing. Arcane is a really I love Arcane but it's a very generic story about

people in poverty, people who are rich, the in between bond of sisters the separation, it's very generic. It's good because it's like a regular story but with that league code of paint and they, it looks good and the animation is good and blah blah. I feel so sorry for

anyone that watched Arcane and was like man now I really feel like playing league and then they play league and it's like, oh no. Oh, no. Oh, no. This is terrible. Oh, God. My life is bad.

Oh, God. That's why we play Legends of Root Terra. A. Or Ruin King, if you like RPGs. Or Ruin King. All right, you're up D-K. Nykyle. What is currently not canon that you wish would be considered canon?

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know if you know anything that isn't canon. gonna say this isn't really a question for me, is it? Shit, I don't know, not canon? I think the Ollanius Pia story might be more of like a folklore, legend, but I guess maybe that one, but

I don't know. I mean, there are things that are canon that I wish weren't canon. But I think the original O'Lanius Pia story probably is the thing that isn't canon that I would like to have stayed canon. Magnus doing nothing wrong is not canon but it should be hmm ooh

That's all my God man what do you want for me I mean if I had to choose things that I don't want to be canon Perchirabo being a Dean primark is fucking stupid And the whole idea of a perpetual I think is dumb Oh yeah Vulcan waiting on his respawn timer Yeah I like the idea that Vulcan just survived horrible

injuries because he's just a big ass dude he's just really tough, as opposed to he literally can't die. Yeah, that sort of cheapens it a little bit. That sort of cheapens his strength a little bit. Yeah. It sounds way more impressive. Because when you see Vulcan, that's

a big dude. That's a big strong dude. And so it makes sense that he'd be able to survive these nigh unsurvivable things because he's a fucking Titan, basically. So yeah, kind of cheapens. It's like, oh no, it's just because he's immortal. It's fine. Don't worry. He'll respond later.

Chief Librarian Dumbass. What a name. How does it feel that have people watch you and love you? Weird. It's a new sensation. I'm used to people watching me and thinking I'm stupid. Although... They still do that, D.K. They watch us, love us, and think we're stupid.

But at least they enjoy my stupidity now. I guess. That's the difference. People are enjoying content that I'm a part of. It feels lovely. I never fully get used to it. Like, I go, I, I'm definitely a lot more of the YouTuber than I think the two of you are in terms of like, definitely what I do and stuff. But like, I've been to a lot of conventions.

I've been to Comic-Conn's and paxes and all that stuff. And, you know, I'll go to a games workshop store and, you know, I get recognized here and there either from my YouTube stuff or from the Warhammer stuff. And I don't know, it never, I've never gotten used to it. It's always weird. Sorry, weird is not the right word because weird makes it sound like the other person's problem. If you recognize any of us in real life, well, you won't recognize shy. But if you recognize Me or DK in real life, I think I speak for both of us when I say it's

totally okay for you to come up to us and say hi. Oh, God, yeah. Some people get too nervous to take a picture, but they want to and like, go ahead, please. I'm like totally fine. I've signed stuff before. Like, go ahead. Like, I'm so okay with that. but I never get this feeling of like massive pride when it happens.

I'm just kind of like, oh, that was a cool experience. That guy was nice. And I just kind of leave, you know? The only time I've been noticed was at Warframes Tanocon. That's it. And it's weird. It's weird, but it's like a good weird because you go in and you're like, ah, nobody's going to like notice me or like,

care that I'm there because I'm just some doof doing like YouTube videos and then when someone does notice you it's like what? Yeah. It doesn't make any sense.

It's great though and please please do say hello but yeah it's just it's it's weird. It's one of the situations where it's not weird because we don't like having a fan talk to us it's weird because we're just not used to it. Yeah. And I don't think I'll ever will get used to it

And if I do get used to it, then I think I'm out of touch. Definitely. Did you have to make, have you made up a specific, like, bricky signature? Because when I was at, like, Tenocon, they had us do, like, a little sit-down signing session for, like, an autograph table. I do have a bricky signature, yes. And I got to be honest with you, I was like, oh, dude, nobody's going to show up. Like, we're a bunch of warframed content. Who the fuck is going to want my signature?

Nobody. Didn't even think about it. Giant line shows up. and I have to come up with a DK. Diamante's signature on the spot, and it's just really stupid fucking thing, but now I have to keep it because that's what I've signed a bunch of shit as. So, yeah, I made sure when I did a bricky signature to make it short, because if I ever got really vague, then I had to sign a lot,

and I did not want to have to have a long signature. Oh, that's, that's good. That's what sports people do when they have to, like, sign cards and merch. That's, that's, that's next level thinking. Well done. I'm not sports person, but shy also says if you see someone in masks and a goggles silently approaching you, it's not me and you should run. That's fair.

That's good advice. If you were a Warhammer model, what would your stat profile, weapon, and special abilities be from TV burp? I think it's a little difficult for you to answer because you don't know stats or profiles or anything. I was going to say, so yeah, Bricky, what would you? be. You know, you would be a chaos familiar. It's, it's normally like a little, a little funky doodad that sorcerers use to help

cast psychic powers better. So you'd be like running up next to Aram and like just be shouting obscenities at the enemy. Oh, hell yeah. That's totally, that's, okay, I'm, I'm in now. I was picturing like this little goblin troll that just sits around and like, you know, they, they leach power from. But yeah, if I'm just a little little, little. familiar that's just swearing at the enemies.

Let's go. All right. For me, I'd be like a transcendent Gatan in the sense of like the Gatan that's kind of there and he's like in the air. But I'm just going to just make his head like four times as big. And then like, and instead of having his normal abilities, just have this like blinding forehead minus one to hit.

You're really leaning into it. I got to do that. You know, you got a blinding forehead aura. It's, I, I literally just imagined a mini with your head times four that's just floating in the air like a hot air balloon. That's exactly what I wanted to be like. I mean, I mean, you could do that or you could make me like a guardsman that hits on sixes. Pick or pick one. Yeah, definitely, no, there's no way you're going to be a guardsman.

You've got to be like the hot air balloon. Now that you've put that out into the ether, like you can't, you can't take that back. internet fan art time I can be I can be higher balloon head but I get

re-roll hits against Eldar because fuck them deal let's go that's perfect that's so perfect oh my god

yeah I will definitely be the little trolley that's shouting obscenities of people love it Zesterite Ardavarkis

oh dear are you guys discussing Warhammer video games similarly to your book clubs. No plans on it, but at the same time, I don't see any problem with us playing like the third person space marine game and just kind of talking about it or Donald War.

Oh, yeah, yeah. Or shit, what is it? Darkhammer? No. Dark time is so close. Oh, we will do dark time. We will do dark tide stuff. Yeah, if you thought we weren't going to play dark tide, y'all crazy.

We're totally going to play that. Will there ever be an episode that's just full of small things that while interesting, don't have enough lore or info on them for a full episode, like The Missing Primarks, as an example from Zhella's. I have to believe there will be an episode of just, like, sort of small things that singularly they wouldn't have enough for an episode, but altogether would make a great little sort of compendium of stuff. I assume the same as most likely that, well, I mean, like the thing we did with the other Zenos

races, you know? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. So I think that's a solid problem. That's a tap the sign moment. Well, that's a little bit of a tap the sign moment. That's kind of a kind of.

But a little more specific. Mm-hmm. I, yeah, that's pretty good. Also, the last question is a very, this is a good final question. By GERP. Is Shia holding Bricky and D.K. By GERP.

If you, if, if she, you, You know, she can edit the videos, so I don't even think you'll get the right answer that you want. Uh-huh. It's, uh, I mean, no, she's not holding us hostage. Certainly not. I think the only hostage scenario is we have no idea how she's going to edit them. So we're kind of at her mercy in terms of how dumb she really wants to make us look. But usually it's pretty fucking funny.

So, I mean... We're at her mercy. the mercy of her edits and therefore I believe that is as close to a hossa situation as you can get. Yeah. That's why we try to you know, any chance we get, we'll like kind of stick it to shy because, you know,

you know. Because you know. You know. You know. One good turn deserves a, I don't know. I don't know. Oh my God, shy has a gun. The drawing of shy has

a gun. It's fine. She doesn't even have proper gun etiquette. You don't put your finger. That's the point. But you don't put your finger on the trigger unless you're ready to fire. And why is you're going to fire straight up in the air? Ridiculous.

That's where my head is way up in the air. Because you're floating up there. Hell yeah. Transcended Catan. I'm going to use Times Arrow. And I'm just swearing in the background. Love it. Anti-matter meteor.

I'm just imagining Aramon. like floating on his disc and you're like sitting on the front of his disc just like screaming I love it like you're like you can hear like a little wine as you like flies past like yeah

for you Jesus Jesus oh my god all right well that was a that was a fun little fun little episode you've got some questions talking about some stuff happy one year

DK and Shai happy one year God, it doesn't feel like it's been a year of this. You're right, it feels like it's been two. Eat ass, dude. I, I, I, I will, I will eat as much ass as is needed. Bricky's like, come on, man, I'm like an aroboros with eating my own ass, bro. An aeroborose?

Yeah, it's the snake that's eating its own tail. Oh. It's called an a roboros. Oh, oh. Or a boros. Oh, well, in that case Eat ass, you fucking Eat in that case

Eat ass, you Oroboros motherfucker. Eat my entire ass Aurora Borealis E Aurora Borealis Indeed. See, that's that one. See, I have culture.

At this part of the podcast, and this time of day localized entirely within my ass. Yes.
