[@seannorthern8854]

Just a thought: Amateurs study tactics. Professionals study logistics. This could be made into a really interesting and enjoyable novel...

[@Reddotzebra]

Not just that, history has shown that you can be a general that's absolutely terrible at tactics and still pull off huge wins as long as you're good at logistics. Because even if you can't find an enemy weakness, you are likely to have someone in your army that at the very least can find their own ass with both hands and a map that you can promote to take care of that bit for you. If you have no food, ammo or medical supplies, that is harder to fix. (Although if you're clever enough to promote someone that knows how to fix that part you can still win just as big.) So I guess "Masters study personnel management" should be added to that quote.

Aside from the fact that it moved at the speed of plot, Lorgar's ability to infest the Imperium with Chaos Cults nearly across the entire span of the galaxy in the fifty year lead up from his pilgrimage to Cadia to the incident on Davin is truly an impressive feat, especially since it was done under the watch of the Crapstodes. It does beg the question on what the state of the Imperium was at the zenith of the Great Crusade, as the soil seemed incredibly fertile for such outbreaks in the lead up. If that's the case perhaps it's why the Emperor was so obsessed with completing the Webway Project, knowing the galaxy is effectively one giant time bomb waiting to erupt in insurgencies and civil wars, trying to complete that project to help unify the cultures and provide an infrastructure network that could support a galaxy spanning empire.

[@uncensoredhappiness]

The Horus Heresy novels are pretty consistent about the Empire being bled white. Worlds being forced into total war levels of conscription, rationing, and taxes, mere years after they were devastated by a space marine invasion.

[@KarizenMagi]

That Lorgar's two Right Hands of Kor Phareon and *That Bitch* were both seeding cults of Chaos everywhere they went (even before Monarchia and Cadia, the Word Bearers had a few inner circles making pacts with daemons) and saving the obviously Chaos tainted peoples (as they did on Davin) so that they can colonize/emigrate to other planets or return to theirs and start anew with their own cult, really helped in getting more allies to bog down the Imperium. So they had about 150ish + Years to actually seed the Imperium. When a Cult has some good transportation and no one really had any idea what a heretic was, they tend to spread like wild fire.

Fun fact about copper, it's not the most conductive metal. It's actually second to silver followed by gold and aluminum, but because of the relative value and physical properties of these different metals nearly every case where they can uses steel reinforcing cores in aluminum wire for distribution and copper at point of application they do. This is because it is cheaper to make a thicker wire with the same electrical properties out of aluminum that to make a thinner wire out of gold or silver. All of these metals are relatively weak, so they add the steel for physical support.

7:29 to give a slightly different example, organized crime in New York in the 1960’s. The different gangs used to hijack trucks coming out of Idlewild Airport (now JFK Airport) regularly and sell the stolen goods for less than it was worth to wholesalers or even to the stores the trucks were originally headed to. Why less than it’s worth? Because they spent maybe $50 to find out what was going to be on that truck, so anything over that was profit. Didn’t matter what was on the trucks, cuz someone would buy it, and this had been going on so long that everyone just kinda accepted it as part of doing business in New York. A cult stealing stuff doesn’t need that stuff to be valuable, as long as they have a place to sell it that won’t ask questions, as any price they can get for it will be profit.

[@jordanscherr6699]

I'm noticing a very "Moriarti" aspect here. As common as chaos cults might appear, the truth is they pivot on at least one center of diamond-solid organization that REALLY knows what it's doing. In short, the only assurance you'll get a proper chaos cult going is with... well, a Deacon with a lot of forbidden books perhaps? Or how about some chaos space marines? Basically, if there isn't already a pure chaos seed, you at least need the near-perfect makings of one.

[@stephenwood6663]

For the most part, I think I'm inclined to agree with you: Arch is working on the assumption that you're trying to build a Chaos Cult from the ground up, but it's probably at least as common for an enterprising Champion of Chaos to take control of an existing organisation - imagine, for example, if Rasputin had actually had some magical powers. Likewise, it's worth considering that it's perfectly possible to worship the Chaos gods without realising you're doing so. I'm reminded of a short story in Psychic Awakening featuring sect violence between two factions of Imperial Creed pilgrims with differering scriptural interpretations, which rapidly escalates into an all-out nexus of Khorne.

When a Chaos uprising triumphs,sacrfising a portion the planets population,is not merely their religious obligation,but a necessity.Since that moment on the planet is cut off from the wider imperium and unable to access to its technologies or even the popultaions bare necessities.There is a high probability that the planets infrastructure(water processing,heating,electricity,food storage) was damaged during the fighting and chaos.So mass killings is not just simple insanity.It also solidifies their rule and commitment,and subjzgates the population

When Arch was talking about the copper on the railways being stripped my only thought was whether or not the thieves were selling the copper straight back to the government, repeatedly. It sounds like the kind of thing that would happen in Norway.

[@kielbasamage]

Reminds me of how people would steal the iron or steel storm drain vents and manhole covers, to have it turned into scrap metal for reselling.

[@lordfrostwind3151]

Always gotta have that one dumbass tweeker that thinks "there's lots of copper in those power lines."

[@fnors2]

Wasn't that an issue in some parts of Africa as well? Iirc, they were trying to bring electricity to regions and people outside the city. Just to get all their copper wire stolen by the locals. Mainly because that copper was worth more money than whatever they could get by working.

Yeah, a common idea in many stories across all fiction including cultists is that they're either arrogant, idiots or both.

I find logistics to be a great way to calm my mind, believe it or not. In a recreational sense that is. If I'm having a bad day and I need to calm down? I can play something like oh I don't know, Tropico, or Cities Skylines, or Civilization, and just focus my mind on the acquisition of resources, connecting trade routes, building infrastructure, things like that and it relaxes me. So a video like this was very nice and calming indeed, despite the subject matter lol

[@sanddoom2089]

This is why I love your videos Arch. You get into the dirty details of how the good or bad guys have such stuff to fight with. It’s one thing to say in a book that “The Enemy is coming to attack with 10,000 tanks!” Most will over look it just to hype up the danger of the enemy, but you Arch will go into detail on how the hell this guy has 10,000 tanks and where he pull it out from where the sun doesn’t shine.

Chaos is something of misnomer, really the core mantra of Chaos is more 'might makes right' or 'the strong do what they will and the weak suffer what they must' than it is anarchist rioting. So as long as you have a leader of sufficient strength and skill there isn't any problem with the idea of a well-organized and disciplined Chaos empire.

The ultimate problem with chaos is that it is fundamentally an ideology of complete selfishness, and as such you can ONLY ever govern others through manipulation at best. This more than even the influence of chaos itself is why all organizations based around it are self consuming. Some simply get bigger than others before they self destruct.
