So today because it's our anniversary Much like the years before We are going to do a Q&A A little question and answer For the third time If there are some burning questions That you're like, why in the world

Didn't we answer them? There's a good chance that we've already answered them in a prior Q&A either in year one or year two. So check those out if you'd like to be 100%. Yeah. Cool. So what's our first question?

Well, Shai says also a couple things. We will not be answering any of the Will you talk about character event slash book? Because those are, you know, just they're not like major questions. Those are tap the sign moments. And most of the time, the answer is just yes. Yeah. Eventually.

also skipped overly complex questions because the answers would be very long and possibly episodes in the future. Mm-hmm. Makes sense. So, anyway, D.K., would you like to read the first one? Sure. A question from our patrons on Discord. Wait, where is the... Nope.

Below the grammar part. Oh, man, I thought that was the first question. That was just her telling us how she got the questions. Oh, man. See, that's how you knew. Anyway, first question is from Masked Bugman. Which faction character did your opinion change for the better or worse after doing research on them? I mean, I feel like my answer simply must be Robutee Gwilla Man, since I went in absolutely hating everything Ultramarine, and I came out being like, hey, that's pretty cool.

I really like that. I mean, yeah, he's got ultra depression, but it's just a really cool story. and it's like, hey, maybe the Ultramarines aren't so bad. That's a pretty fair one. My opinion, I mean, originally, I'd probably say it was Curz, but I don't think my opinion really changed on Curz, because I just didn't really know him at all before I got really into him. But I would definitely say that it would be Angron.

I completely got confused. I thought someone else, I thought he put the, nails in his brain because he wanted to be angrier. I didn't realize it was done to him. It's actually, yeah, it's actually one of a big mistake I made in my like every faction explained video, which is a little unfortunate because that video happened to be the one that popped off. So I'm like, no, there's misinformation.

And now every V-tuber on the planet is watching it. Dude, it's so funny that I've become the envoy for V-2s-40K. You are the ferryman. You are, they give you the two coins for the eyes and then you ferry them across. the Warhammer sticks. But definitely Angron. Angron, well, he's still not what I would call a great guy.

He got Delta bad hands. Oh, it's such a bad hand. Oh, be, sheesh. There's a lot more, I have a lot more respect for world leaders. I like the tragedy of them being frothing lunatics as opposed to the

frothing lunatics. Yeah, they're not just lunatics. for the sake of being edgy lunatics, there is a very real satiable reason, justifiable reason for them just being crazy. Yeah. All right. D.K., since I'm always the one who talks too much,

how about you read all the questions today? Oh, okay. Silthy Greenheart asks, how do you feel about the growing number of V-tubers getting into Warhammer lore? Yeah, Bricky, how do you feel being the, as we said, the fairy men of V-tubers into Warhammer lore.

So, I mean, obviously, like, people will misconstrue that the fact that I am not a fan of anime does not mean I don't like V-tubers, like, they're people. You're a V-tuber, for God's sakes. Yeah, that is true. Like, they're obviously just, it's a variation of streaming, so obviously I have no issues with it, even if I may not, like, partake in viewing often. Someone mentioned this in a stream of mine a while ago And my answer was like, Warhammer fans have, you know,

have had a bit of a weird contingent of them for a bit. It's getting better now. But there was like a really specific type of Warhammer fan that would get really, really into World War II and would like be really into anime girls at the same time. So they'd be into like Panzer anime girls. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I know what you mean. Would occasionally have some not great opinions. Yeah, yeah. I feel like that kind of group has also kind of really embraced the V-tuber world as their main source of Twitch viewing. And so I feel like it was just a matter of time before they and their, and how much they liked Warhammer eventually presented it to V-tubers themselves as another kind of niche but almost mainstream world. Yeah, and I mean, the crossover isn't that hard to like, I don't know, a conceptual, it's not that hard to imagine. Just because there's so much stuff in Warhammer that, like, there's something for it. Like, if you like anime, chances are, like, you'll be very fond of the Tao or the Eldar or some aesthetic.

Like, it's not unheard of for, you know. That's kind of one of the things. As it were. That's kind of one of the things about 40K is that while it's not for, everyone, there is still a faction for you. Yeah, there's a good chance one of the factions you'll resonate with, it's just finding which one.

Yeah, for sure. Like, for example, what was it? How do you pronounce her name? Matara? Matara Khan? Yeah, yeah, yeah. The cockroach V-tuber. Yeah, cockroach V-tuber. It's not hard to figure out which faction might, she might... You think she might like the nids?

Just the chance. You think maybe the nids would be their Cup of tea. Hilariously, I guess she's getting into Jukari, so there's also that. But, like, yeah, it's not particularly difficult. Yeah, definitely. Anyway. We need another question, Shai. All right.

Char asked for D.K., out of all of the longer arcs in the lore, Horace Harris, the Arks of Omen, Black Crusade, Bad Ab War, Octarius War, which is your favorite so far. Gotta be the Arks of Omen. Got to be the Arks of Omen. Now is that...

Extremely good choice. I agree. Yeah. It kind of hard to go past that with all the crazy... Oh, what the hell is

his name? I'm drawing a blank on his name. Vastor. Vash Tor. Yeah. My boy. It gets the big chaos dubs finally.

And Angrun has that big, brilliant moment, even though he's going to respawn anyway. And, you know, he gets the key. And now we've got to find out what the key is for. Corn literally gets out of his chair. That's true. Corn gets out of his chair.

I mean, the other ones are very good, too. But, yeah, the arcs of omen was too good. I would agree. I really enjoy arcs of omen. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

At his spazzi asked How do you think Vash Tor's plans Will affect the trout population I don't Is that a meme that I don't Oh no we've hit a meme two zoomer for DK Ironically I guess it depends What if it's like mechanical trout

Are there mechanical trout? What if you think about like Vashdor And he like brings back Caliban from the warp like he did in the final arcs of Omen and it's just like it's like this Nergel rotted version of it but like in all of the

in all of the seas are just mechanical chaos trouts and he's got the Vastoros like that really big hat that's like women fear me fish fear me men turn their eyes away from me as I walk no beast dare makes a sound in my presence

I am alone on this barren earth right 3D6 Yeah, I'm sure that's what's gonna happen That's what's Mecha Mechanicus Trout Mecha Trout Mecha Trout that's yeah yeah yeah yeah

Shiaeephye please God give us another Demon Engine Trout I am begging you Demon Engine Shai So we can move on from demon engine trout Like flying trout Like a unit like a block of burns Perkius 388 asks

What has your favorite interaction been with your fans? You know, the night contest is pretty up there. I really want to do another one. The night contest was really fun. Also, the military people that refuel jets that showed us a picture of putting like their, our flag on like the bed that opened up was really like, whoa. That was a super fucking cool picture.

That was so dope. There are people doing tattoos of our logo, really? I did not hear about that. I did not see or hear about that, but that's crazy. That's, ooh, that's dope. Shai's answer is, fan art is great. That one animation with Misery X-CPR X the Reese's Puff music mix was hilarious. I agree with that one.

It's fair. Very accurate, too. Response to our furry poster was also pretty, insane. Yeah, wow. I kind of forgot about the whole

of the furry poster thing. God damn. Oh, yeah. There's some, there's some, there's some good ones. The Reese's Puff mix was really good.

Yeah, yeah. That Rieces Puffs video was spot on. Spot on. There are a couple. Oh, I really like the guy who did the great unclean one with a top hat.

Oh, yeah. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Damn, yeah. Oh, hey, that's cool. Hot damn. Well, Wow.

God damn. All right. I actually was not even aware of this. Yeah, I wasn't either. That's a cool tat. I do want to do another art contest, though. That was incredibly enjoyable, and it's great seeing the creativity, so I would like to. Great.

We need another question, though. What's next? Strawberry possum. You've seen the rise of popularity when it comes to. to Warhammer over recent years, but a lot of popularities coming from direct players of the game and more from people who are focusing on the extended media. When it comes to Warhammer,

do you see the lore and tie in media book shows video games outlasting the tabletop at any point down the road? That's a very interesting question. Isn't a majority of their money made off like tabletop minis and stuff, though? a pretty yeah a pretty hefty amount um so i don't know if it's i don't know if they're ever gonna shift to like you know the tie-in media being uh outlasting the tabletop because that would kind of so be the end of them wouldn't it so shy's answer here i think it's the opposite gw is terrible at wrangling the power of their ip 40k is ripe for creating tv shows movies slash video games

but all their shows are hidden away in Warhammer Plus and mostly suck, and Warhammer video games are rare and also mostly suck. I can see them just crawling back in their safe bubble of tabletop and books and dropping support for extended media. Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking, is like, they make so much money off of, here's a new space marine, that, yeah, it feels more like they're just going to stick to the tabletop rather than actually make new, better shows, books, video games.

I guess the books are fine, but yeah, the video games and shows are just, oof. Like, I think people will often talk about how much it costs to properly do plastic and miniatures and that kind of thing. But at the production level that Games Workshop is reaching and the amount of money they're making from it, clearly they are, I mean, they are charging an astronomical amount of money for their miniatures. Like, there's a reason it's called plastic crack. It is an insane, insane profit margin.

I think their books are incredible, and I genuinely think there are a few other IPs that have the strength of their writing. Their authors are very good, like, not just good for Warhammer. They're just, like, good authors. Good authors in general, yeah. And I'd argue that their VA work on. on Audible is some of the best on Audible as well. But someone was talking to me

a little bit about this on, about Warhammer Plus. And they're like, you know, they're talking about like, oh, well, have you seen X? Or have I seen Y? And I'm like, yeah. Like, they say like, Praia Nexus was one of the ones that's constantly brought up. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'm like, it's pretty, but it doesn't have any,

any, like, meat to it. There's no, I'm not interested in anything. thing. Like, there's no really impressive moral dilemmas or, like, characterizations that I really care about. It's just, it just looks good. It's just eye candy. And also,

a large amount of their products that they brought on Warhammer Plus are hiring fans to do it, but they're charging you full-priced streaming service costs for fan projects. Not to mention the horrible use of

their IP they've done in the past. So, Unless they kind of get their head out of their ass and start working with how the modern day is supposed to be done and stop using these archaic business practices, then I think I'm mostly with shy. They're probably going to, they're probably going to be like, well, we tried the modern day stuff and it didn't work despite the fact that they did it improperly and then there's going to retreat. Yep, and just go back to the old ways, the safe bubble and just, yep. Unless the Amazon thing does well, but it might just be another Halo TV show situation. So I genuinely don't know. Jay Byrne asks, hey, Shy, what is the best gaff slash screw up the boys have made that you left in an episode? Shy's answer, sometimes you can hear Bricky and DK speaking.

This is not intentional. Gotty! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. God damn it. Very funny. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. No, no. No, she's, no, hold on.

She has a point. That's an emperor's new groove reference. You should get that one. Ah, yeah, well, so, yeah, I did see it once. Oh, yeah, I'll watch it again. It's really good. Okay, well, whatever. I remember my screw up.

It was, uh, I remember my screw up. I think I called the blood angels, like the fourth legion or something. And then, and then, like, in the same, or maybe it was the Iron Warriors. Then in the next episode, I was like, I don't know why I said that. They're the ninth. Like, I don't know why I did that. And I don't know. Like, it's a total, total screw-up.

Every time I speak, it's a bit of a screw-up. So, you know, it's, it is what it is. That's why I'm here, though. Insert quote. Insert quote. Yeah, every quote is a screw-up. Every quote in every episode, yep. Lots of people ask this.

Will we do episodes on tabletop side of the game explaining mechanics and such? I mean, that would be, that would be all me. That'd be, yeah, that'd be all you. Um, not really. I mean, like, like maybe, but it's, without the visual aid, it's kind of its own side thing. It is kind of tough. If anything, it might be like nice to, you could talk about like, okay, you want to play the game as a certain type of army. Here's what they play like.

Like, here is how the lore translates to their tabletop. Um, like, I don't know. Like, world eaters, for example, you roll eight dice at the start of every battle round, and then you get blessings of court, and then they change your army up. But I kind of already mentioned that stuff, especially in Triath episodes, so I don't know. Yeah, you already kind of bring up how they function in game, so I don't know. I don't know. Dreadblade Krausa, 4DK.

You've learned about the Eldari, the Drukari, a bit of Yanari, and the Harlequins. out of those for which flavor of Eldar Wifu do you think you'd consider simping for the most? Wow, that is a question and a half. Oh, boy, Harlequins, I suppose. Because, you know, that whole clown wife meme. So, you know, we do be simping for a bit of the old Clussy around here. So, you know. Is this from the damn, um,

uh, ace attorney. Yeah. Uh, you hit it, you hit the nail right on the head. Yep. I would, I would, I would assume that you would just choose the regular LDAR because of, um,

the Rube trader. Realistically, probably just the regular LDari, because why not? But for the memes, obviously, I, I,

I want that, I want that, I want that cussie. Yeah, all right. I refuse to answer this question. No, you have to answer it. No, it says for D.K., so.

yeah, maybe, I'm making you answer it because this is an anniversary episode and inquiring minds want to know which Eldar Wifu Bricky would simp for? No. Wow. I can't believe you'd do this to the fans like that. Yes.

Cannot. Cannot believe that. Read the next question. I refuse. To be, when I'm painting, I usually just buy some $5 pack of brushes from the craft supply store. They've been all right for my needs, but if I want to get better at painting, do you think I should drop a bag on better brushes or an airbrush. And Shai's answer is she uses a $7 a pack brushes for painting and they work fine.

More expensive brushes are often simply overpriced and not noticeably better. Even when they are better, it's simply their durability and not the quality of painting. Airbrush is not better. It's entirely different type of painting. Unless you're painting a very large miniature or bare. batch painting dozens of small minis, I don't think that better quality brushes will make you a better painter.

Leonardo da Vinci painted with a brush that was a bunch of hairs from a horse's ass. That's actually true. I didn't doubt it. So I guess because you don't paint, I'll... Yeah. Yeah. No, $5 pack of brushes is perfectly fine.

There's really nothing wrong with it. Don't buy Games Workshop's brushes. They are horrendously overpriced. This is the ones I bought. Yeah, and not great quality. They are definitely not worth the buy. I buy some pricier brushes, but I... I...

I need a lot. Eh, kind of. Like, my brushes come from monument hobbies. I think they're really, really, really good. I like them a lot. And for the most part, I think they're probably the best upgrade that you could have. and you really don't need to go anywhere higher than that. Airbrush is a total different kind of painting.

I have an airbrush, but it really is just for large vehicles, specific types of things you can do with dry brushing or batch painting a large amount of miniatures. It no doubt makes it easier, but, you know, whether... It doesn't necessarily make you better at painting. No, it's a different kind of painting. Yeah, it's just a different way to do it, yeah.

Yeah, an airbrush is absolutely easier and we'll give you a lot more options, but it doesn't necessarily make it, like, better. Just need to practice more. You get better with time and practice, and, you know, just hit that, hit the grind. We just got to grind that shit out. Good luck, my friend.

Next question, shy. Several people ask this. What character from a Warhammer book would you most like to see get a mini? Oh, goodness. Uh, does Talos have a mini? No, the first claw has no minis. I would love to see some first claw minis.

I would love to see any of them get a mini. I guess obviously Tau, Tau, Toulos, Toulos, or maybe some of the Raptors or something. But yeah, I want some first claw minis, you know, the night lords, even though they're getting that, what is it, kill team? Yeah. Even though they're getting that, I want more night lord minis, because that kill team looks, but no, I would not mind a first claw series of minis. They gave it to Gantz ghosts, and you might say, well, but, but Bricky, first claw isn't doing so hot right now. It's like, well, a large amount, a few of the Gant's ghosts that are

in the minis are also not alive either. Yeah, I was going to say they're dead. Some of them are very much dead. Yeah. And so it's perfectly fine. I would, um, I would be, I would be very okay with a couple of those. I'd also just like some updated minis. They got rid of a few from the Cron's that make me upset. Like who? Zandrick and Oberon. Wait, they got rid of them?

Yeah, they're not in the book. So, kind of sad about that. I would like some updates. Trayson could get a model update. Yarrick is gone, but Yorick is probably. Yeah, so it's also Yerick. So it's like, you know, a couple of those. But, yeah, first claw would be pretty great.

They already have an Eisenhorn minis, so there's that. Yeah, first claw, let's go. Chaplin Schrock asks, Are there any episodes y'all have thought to redo or go back and correct? I don't think so. Not really. Yeah. No episode has gone so bad that it's like, oh my God, we have to redo it.

Or, you know. Like, there's certainly ones that are better than others and some that have more mistakes than others. But at the same time, I genuinely kind of feel like the only reason that the old ones would be worse is because we just haven't gotten to our groove yet. Yeah. And I think like after about a few months, we kind of did get into our groove. Yeah, it didn't take that long.

Yeah, I'm pretty all right with it. Yeah, I'm pretty happy with what we done. All right. Artificial Dragon, one of our mods asked, probably not going to see it, but I want to let the crew know how much I appreciate it. them. They inspired me to do the Can Manase Kill a Jedi podcast. Can Manas Kill a Jedi? Basically, adric but for Star Wars. Thank you for being so entertaining and inspirational, Adeptus, Ridiculous Crew. Keep doing what you're doing. Oh, that's not a question, but that's just really

nice to hear. That is, I think I actually remember them mentioning this. Yeah, it's like a kind of a riff on the whole like kind of lightsaber cut through Wolverines Clause type thing? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Can Manez Kill a Jedi? It's actually a great, great podcast name. I think it's incredibly creative. And most importantly, it's distinct. And that means...

It's very memorable. You won't forget that name for a while. That's good branding. Which, yeah, which makes great branding. So good job. I am extremely excited to hear when you surpass us. The logo can just be a mayonnaise with a sad Obi-1 on the cover. Or it can just be

mayonnaise Like a like a A jar of mayonnaise But it like It shines like a lightsaber Radioactive mayonnaise Yeah Dreadblade Krausa

For Bricky Do you think your love of night lords Can be traced back to your love of kicking Children and then running away in malls Pricky I told you this story already Bricky I told you this story

Yeah, yeah. Did you tell me this story? Yeah, I actually kicked a kid in a mall when I was 16 and ran away because I was scared on how to tell the parents. Oh, okay. Because a kid ran past my legs and I tripped and I went whack. Oh, okay. It's a long story. No, my love for the night lords came from me enjoying depressing, depressing Slavic media,

liking those kinds of video games, and also enjoying the intense. the fact that they are literally everything a space marine isn't. Oh yeah. They are awful, just awful terrible gangsters that have become gods or demigods. And that's just such a cool concept. They are indeed the anti-space marine. They're probably the most anti-space marine faction out there. Everything else has some like a feeling of honor or like warfare, combat kind of thing.

and they're just the polar opposites. It's great. They're just criminals. Can we do the meme where it's the, what is it, the anti-space Marine Space Marine chapter? And it's like the white text on the black shirt that's stacked on top of itself.

And it's just in like skin, anti-space marine space marines. I don't know about that one, but I... Like the anti-social social club or whatever it was. Oh, oh God, dude. Down in SoCal, Cal, you see the anti-social social club shirts and hoodies Everywhere.

Right? So they can be the anti-space Marine Space Marine. The stack. God, those are everywhere. Everywhere. Specifically with a certain

demographic too. And I don't know why. I don't either. Probably just branding. I guess so. Next question. A mint. What's your favorite weapon

from 40K? Oh man, there's so many to pick from I mean I do love a good old plasma pistol It doesn't hurt It's really hard to go wrong With just a just a bolter Like just the classic bolter or like a chain sword

I don't know what my favorite is though There's just so many iconic 40K weapons You know what? Maybe a Milta. You know what? I figured it out. Okay, I'll be honest, because I'm super guardsman-pilled. A good Lasgun just, I just can't not enjoy a good Lasgun.

Particularly a hot shot lasgun, like the Sions use and stuff, or the Kassarkin, they're pretty great. But if I had to choose one, oh, Shia makes a good one. Shock attack gun is really good. Oh, that's fair. That's fair. Based and orc-pilled. Based in green pills. When I played Dark Tide a little while ago, I became a big fan of the, I think it's the heavy stub-up pistol.

Ooh, that's a, that's a fun little, that's a fun little canon. I think if I had to pick one, I would pick the conflagration canon. Oh, what a name. What a name. It is the massive triple-barreled flamer that is on the big, the big imperial knights. That's fair. That's very fair. There is a custom version of it called the Traders Pire, P-Y-R-E, and it is just, it's just kind of hilarious, so I love it.

What's that orc gun that, like, wraps around their shoulder and shoots out, like... That's the shock attack gun. Oh, that's the shock attack gun? That sucks up the grot. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's shock attack gun. Okay, okay, cool. I was going to say that one deserves to be on here somewhere.

Actually, additional answer. tank buster or the tank hammer it's basically a big rocket on the end of a hammer that the orcs run up to a tank with and smack it just explodes in their hands

yeah also just thunderhammers in general thunderhammers in general are very cool very cool especially when you finally get to use them in dark tide oh oh yeah those are very fun Abalard to destroy his nuts

With a thunderhammer? I gave him a thunderhammer and he slams. Eldar Professor Lynx, which 40K novel that you've read do you think would make the best anime? Huh. Which one would make the best anime out of the ones we've read so far? Um... I feel like Eisenhorn would be pretty good. but also it's just James Bond

So it's James Bond anime Which is like pretty easy I'd say That is I mean you're not wrong That would be a pretty good one I don't know if my mind Just always goes to the Night Lord's books But like something about like the dark

gory edgy vibes I think would make like one of those Really good edgy animas One of those really like tragic, depressing anime's that's just all like violence and blood and blah. I try not to do the Nightlord books

too much because it is a full trilogy and so it's got a bit more of a of a staying power in my mind. But as much as I like it, I mean, yeah, it is pretty good. And it has tons of like those crazy action scenes that you could really animate the hell out of and it just,

I hate to. cop out and go back to those, but it would be a really dope anime. There is another one that I, where is it? Oh, you know, I was going to say maybe Assassin Norm Kingmaker, but, uh, yeah, I mean, that could work. I think, maybe. I think Twice Dead King would actually be pretty good. Honestly, all of the books you could viably make into a decent anime.

All of the ones we've read could do. Like, there's, you know, there's no template for what an anime has to be. It doesn't have to be action-packed or whatever. So, I don't know. They all could work. Next question. Especially Krieg because it sucked. Wow, shy.

That's unkind. That's rude. I mean, it kind of did. I wasn't, I wasn't the biggest fan of the Krieg book, but whatever. Breadmage asked, would you rather fight one horse-sized duck or 100 duck-sized horses? A hundred duck-sized horses. Do the 100 duck-sized horses have prep? What do you mean? Do they have prep?

Do they have prep? Shai understands, do they have prep? What? What do you mean? Oh, it's a Batman meme. Well, but do they have prep? Do I have prep? What kind of prep would 100 duck-sized horses have? You're not answering the question.

I need the answer. Do I or the hunt? They have prep time. You don't have any prep time, but they have prep time. They have prep. Oh, there's no way. I would lose. Yeah, you would. I would lose to both.

To be fair, if Batman did have prep time, he could beat Superman. For sure, actually. It happens all the time. I do not, I do not care enough. We do not care. Avalon asked, I want to know your favorite episode of the podcast so far. You know, the first ad mech one was pretty good. Yeah, I always go back to the Amatank Ork episode.

Orch episodes in general always like devolve into some kind of craziness that's just like really fun. So probably the Amatank Ork episode or just any of the Ork episodes in general. I must, those are pretty good. I must admit the episode we did with Kuriath just recently on the Demon Engines was really, funny. It was. That was a very fun episode. Between the cheesecake shenanigans and then the

Venomcrawler butt and everything of a tween. That was a surprisingly enjoyable recent episode, so I like that one a lot. Kiryath always is always a fun time, to be fair. When Kiryath shows up, you know it's going to be a good time. He's a great, a great

palate cleanser for all of us. I get a break. Everyone else on the viewers get to learn stuff. He's really good to talk to. It's always wonderful. Shai said the Arks of Omen series was fun. It was. It absolutely was. I really liked Arks of Omen. I really liked it because it was also so, it was nice to have a continuation. Like, ooh, next week, new story, you know? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. So we've got Orks, Karioth, and Arks of Omen.

Dark Angel brother, Agent Lema, asks, what do you think lore-wise the future of the 40K franchise entails? Emperor Resurrection Nids Eating Everyone, Chaos Wins. None of those things, probably. I don't, I mean, that's not going to do Chaos Wins because I think they've realized how stupid it was to end fantasy like that. Yeah. I mean, and literally,

it's going to be status quo. Like there's going to be another big war. The big war is going to be just like, whoa, it seems like chaos winning, and then it's either going to be a stalemate, and then chaos is going to run away, but the, but the Imperium isn't overly powerful because obviously, you know, they want to keep it going. You know, no one side is going to win everything, right? It needs to be a stalemate. I think, yeah.

I don't know. Like, I think over the next 10 years, we're it's going to slowly return all of the primarks to 40K in various ways. And then once every primark that's alive is back, God knows what. I feel like the Emperor Resurrection thing is just kind of is dumb because it's, one, it's annoying, but two, it's so against the core, like, satirical philosophy.

of Warhammer. Yeah. Him being dead on that throne is kind of, like, what made the world what it is. Yeah. So. If the emperor came back,

like, he'd probably want to just obliterate the Imperium anyway because it became everything he didn't want anyway. And he's like, well, yeah, if I erase everything, the Imperium dies,

but he'd probably be like, yeah, it needs to, though. I also, I think it's, I think it's more just like, That kind of, that kind of, like, satirical martyrdom of him is so ingrained in Warhammer to, like, what it is about.

It just feels wrong if he came back. Yeah. I also just love the idea that the Imperium is just worshipping the emperor and they think they're doing everything in his name. And it's just like, no, you're not. No, you're not. He hates you. Like, if he was awake, he'd hate the hell out of you. Anyway

Next question is from your friend Steve Hey Bricky Early on the podcast You said that you were afraid To do Alferius video Now that you've done it Are there any topics

That you are afraid to cover now? I always nervous Whenever there's a new prime mark Because I'm trying to condense What is basically 10 books Worth of content into an hour And so I'm less worried about me doing a bad job.

I'm more worried about the plethora of you forgot this, knowing full well, I didn't forget. I just didn't add it because I only have an hour. Yeah, you only have an hour. Yeah, yep. I don't know. I don't know. Maybe there's like, it just depends on how much book reading I need to do.

Oh, yeah, because for some of them, the books are like the only source of information. So you got to read the whole damn thing. Yeah. Yeah. So that kind of becomes slightly difficult. So I'd probably say around something like that. Yeah, primarks.

Primarks are always spooky. Yeah. 01503 asks, how many tech priests are needed to screw in a light bulb? One. You know? Depends on... Depends where the light bulb is. And who made the light bulb?

Ah, that's true. Do we need How many What is it Do we need like The ritual of reawakening How much incense do we need? Oh, that's true

And you need to pray to the Omnisiah And the machine spirit inside the light bulb So Well, you don't need six to pray That one tech priest can do all the praying You know I guess I mean

That's well no But that goes against that goes against protocol. Oh, do you need at least six to pray to the machine spirit? Well, it depends. It depends what this light bulb is. Which STC made the light bulb? Do we know how to fix it?

Like, what does the Omnisciah believe? Come on, you know how Amech are. I love that. It depends which STC made the light bulb. Also, STCs are terrifying. Depends. Yes, they've got the, the light bulb STC.

Hey, hey, it's true. It's true. This is fair. That's fair. I feel like that needs to be a shirt or something. Bullthorn asked,

would you guys ever consider getting together with a group of friends or previous guests and doing a podcast of Warhammer RPG tabletop game, like Warhammer D&D? Maybe. Like, I don't know if that would work for like a, like a, like podcast episodes or whatever. It's a little bit of a difficult one there.

I feel like it'd be like a stream. Like if that'd be something you'd want to stream, not necessarily make like recorded episodes of, right? Well, yeah. I mean, those D&D games are cool, but they are like five hours or longer for a one shot. So I don't know. It's a lot of effort to get that together.

A lot of plan. Can, can we, can we, split the difference? Can we split the difference and instead get a whole bunch of 40K YouTubers and get them all into a game of Among Us? Oh, no, not Amogas. Come on. That'd be great. I am terrible at Among Us. I am the worst Amongus player that has ever existed. I'm just saying we could we could really, we could definitely get a good amongus game with the right group. We probably could. I, I am the, the,

worst. I am the worst traitor. I am the worst killer. Because I'm always afraid somebody's going to see me when I go in for a kill and it's just the worst. And I never kill anybody. Sir. My partner has to do all the killing. Sir, it is called an imposter. Oh yeah. It is an imposter. Whatever. Who cares?

Next question. Unbelievable. And recent Crown 29, When will Bricky take back calling me cringe? When he just stops being cringe, like it's not a hard thing to explain. If he just stopped being cringe, then I would just take back calling him cringe. Yeah, maybe he's still... Stop being cringe, bro. But he's still so cringe, so like, how could I not?

Just stop being cringe. Hello, it's easy. It's not hard. Just don't be cringe. Yeah, bro. Recent Crown 29, just stop being cringe. Easy. Problem solved. Next question. Sergeant,

ah! If you had to either kill or remove a primark from 40K entirely, who would you pick? Okay, removing this sound is too easy because it'll be Ferris Manus. So let's pick one to kill. I would give Angron the sweet release of death that he craves. You know, I just think I wouldn't... I think I would too. I think you could narratively make it incredibly satisfying to have anger on actually die.

Yeah. It would make it would make total sense because that's what he's straight. He wants the sweet release of death. He's tired of it all. Like he wants to go. I would really like that. I wonder who would be the one to kill him. It would need to be somebody really.

important. Like it would have to be a big deal when you kill Angron. Or perhaps like, it probably has to be another prime mark or or it had to be like another major, major player like the silent king. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Would have to put him down, you know?

Yeah, it'd have to be a really big ordeal, but man. And it would be such a crazy because he wants it. But he wants to like earn it. He doesn't want to just like, you know, Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I go with a song at that, yeah. Yeah.

Or I would give him a different... Oh, no, that'd be awful. Never mind. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Angron. Angron. Next question, please. She's typing.

I don't care. I so rarely get a chance to, you know. Oh, never mind on that question, because who to... Well, Rabutei has... had the sword that Perma kills demons, but narratively Blueberry killing Angron would feel like a spit in the mouth of chaos players. That is true.

Yeah, probably. It is a little difficult. I feel like, it depends on, like, how Gilliman did it, because they also had that really good, like, back and forth that one time in Betrayer. So it could work. Yeah, I mean, I don't know.

Like, once you said Rabutee killing Angron, I wasn't like, I wasn't like immediately disgusted by it. I was like, that, it's, it's Gilliman. Like, it could happen. I, I feel like, I feel like if like Magnus killed him or something. Like, it'd be, it'd be some kind of like, like, chaos squabble, mercy. I don't know, it's hard to, it's hard to determine. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Gobma asked for all three of you, Goobbers, if you had a choice as to what faction became the poster boys of Warhammer instead of Space Marines, which would it be and why? Well, is it just like Space Marines in general or like Ultramarines? Because it's the Ultramarines that are the poster boys of Warhammer, right?

Yeah, but she means Space Marines. It's Space Marines. Crisis suits, man. I would love it if the crisis suits were the poster image for Warhammer. So you mean Tao? Yeah, I do mean Tao, but I wouldn't

have like the Tao necessary like troopers like literally just like the crisis suits in the mix so i think i think that um like my first thought went to guard but i think guard make it will not give the proper warhammer aesthetic it'll be too like world of war twoish and there's a million world war two tabletop games yeah so i'd probably go with sisters i think sisters combined the the uh the the zealot aspect of warhammer pretty well with and then you still have the power armor. And so you get this little mixture of the two, I think that would actually probably be pretty good.

I'm biased, but, you know. I was going to say, what a shocking development that Bricky first went to guard and then went to sisters for the poster image of Warhammer. Who would have thought? It has to be humans in some way to make it work. I guess. Shias had orcs because they are disgusting,

greasy, irrational, angry, and can barely speak English, and buying a whole army of them cause way too much. I mean, space marines are the same. Yeah, it's true. That's true. Tao or, I don't know. How expensive for Tao?

Like to buy an army of Tao. Like medium cost. Okay. Which is expensive as shit in general, but you know, like medium cost. Not the worst, not the best. Not the worst, not the best. All right. We need another question.

Tower communist this game is it made in California. Yeah. But they are. played a lot in California. Are they? How popular are, oh, I thought you just meant tau. I thought you meant they're just like a lot of Tao players in California.

Oh, no, no, no. There's a ton of Warhammer in down here. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was going to say, Tau are popular in California? What? Why? Okay, whatever. Just a little Tachanka.

How much have you spent on models? Oh, I have not spent that much. I maybe um maybe a little over a hundred bucks am I but I haven't bought many do I have to answer this question

yep I mean it's it's definitely in the five figures no doubt yeah well you have several armies though probably in the mid five figures if you told me I've spent over $50,000 on Warhammer

I think that might be correct. And to be fair, that's over a period of how long have you been into Warhammer? It's been a while. So you've had time to accumulate that big number. There's also the fact that a lot of it was for dice check and the like, which was therefore, it was therefore a business expense. So it was written off, etc. But I would not be surprised if it was around $50,000.

you do have several armies and that's and that's like almost as much as the average ganshin player has spent oh on one banner yeah yeah oh yeah i don't even play that game anymore um shy said over five thousand dollars i believe it she does have a lot of orcs a lot of the chunkers. So, yeah. I buy that. She paints him real well, too. I buy that for a dollar. I buy that for a dollar. Final question. Final question. All right, all right. Raspberry asks, penis?

Balls, even. Cock, if you would be so inclined. Need I say more? Need I say anything? Mm-hmm. Was that really the final question? Penis Balls We're going out We're just going out on
