Why get AI too read ur script? It spoils it. Otherwise enjoyed...

[@TimJohniLL]

Your views to sub ratio needs praise and emphasis. Quality is top notch sir I like your style and images

[@zeberday1]

Love it when the AI voice has a malfunction 😂

[@michaelnapora9155]

Nice! Just before you'll go all in... I'd double check if you can use "Cult Mechanicus" without problems on GW side, if you would have to rename, better earlier than later 😉

[@CultMechanicusArchives]

thats a good point i hadn't thought about but i don't expect they will notice a tiny channel like this one.

[@SurfRlyeh]

The legally distinct names are always a good idea. Should you have some growth and then get smacked with cease & desists or other wrangles, it would be a channel rename / rebrand and starting over to a certain extent. Worth looking into to say the least. Cheers all the same.

[@DeathBYDesign666]

I was thinking about making a ship based 40k channel myself. You need to review these before putting them out, your AI voice is butchering a few words.

[@CultMechanicusArchives]

If you have the time you may as well give it a go. I know its not the best but it sounds more casual than if I had to do it myself unfortunately. Thank you for the feed back and I will work on it.

[@DeathBYDesign666]

@@CultMechanicusArchives No problem buddy I forgot to give you a sub but I'll fix that. It's not bad for a start, just some minor issues. I want to focus more on design aspects, capabilities, scale, logistics, etc. and I just started a design project where I'm personally designing a DAoT ship. They supposedly had ships that could wrap around stars and I have done ships like that before. I hope GW doesn't get up my ass about it either, I don't think they dig side canon or speculation.

[@CultMechanicusArchives]

no need to sub until your 100% happy with the videos. That sounds very interesting. I dont think GW are happy with anything unless your buying something.

[@DeathBYDesign666]

@@CultMechanicusArchives I keep my word I just forgot about it. I get distracted easily sometimes, but I will do it right now.

[@DeathBYDesign666]

@@CultMechanicusArchives I think I am already set up with a decent name, but I think I might add something more Warhammer to the end. Death by Design Grimdark maybe?

[@uwuthanizeme1405]

Ayo new 40k guy, can I have a kiss???

[@CultMechanicusArchives]

Why not... *KISS*

[@toi_techno]

I hate Ai narration Just read if yourselves

[@useruseruseruseruser790]

What’s the issue ? Producing these lore videos for us to watch takes an awful lot of time and effort which I for one appreciate, especially quality productions like this. People have families and jobs to juggle as well. If you cant be supportive don’t say anything.

[@globaladdict]

Who the fuck is this guy lol. No one cares

[@heathmcrigsby]

Some people just don't have the voice for radio

[@jameslane7527]

It’s the pronunciation of some words. It ruins the flow. I get the guys point. Ultramariiines for example 😂

[@johannahunderwood4596]

Some wild pronunciations of several words - let’s just say it was spoken by a servitor on the fritz.

[@maxlauter5459]

lets just say its AI generated

[@Robert_Douglass]

Holy crap, three-hundred-meter long torpedoes? That's bigger than most ships in our own modern era

[@mitchellvliem6200]

Their battleships fire our battleships at each other

[@sloppypotato00]

1 overlord class battlecruisers is enough to bring down an entire nation in our current day

[@RadomirBasta]

Smooth and cool. Support for the new 40k account!

[@DeathBYDesign666]

What's weird is that it took 12 days to get on our recommendations list. All the comments are from today.

[@CultMechanicusArchives]

Thank you for the support dude.

[@jakeg3733]

I love the art at 4:30 because it's easy to forget Imperial ships weren't always floating cathedrals. That happened later as the Imperium became a theocracy. During the GC (presumably the period this artwork is supposed to depict) they looked more like your typical sci-fi space battleships. Clean shapes, very functional

[@OniLeafNin]

You can tell, traitor warships have more of that star destroyer vibe, and they are ancient craft, unlike the newer ships.

[@useruseruseruseruser790]

Great video. Thoroughly enjoyed this. Thankyou for your efforts.

[@Nick-zz6xl]

Well done. Subbed!

[@CultMechanicusArchives]

Much appreciated!

[@cratoss.4772]

This is voiced by AI yes?

[@CultMechanicusArchives]

It is indeed. May the blessings of the Omnissiah be with you.

[@willmosse3684]

Only voiced? Or scripted too?

[@ArayCore]

this has strong luetin vibes, going from the choice of wording and presentation

[@roguerifter9724]

IMO one flaw in the Imperial Army structure is it assumes the officers are equally skilled at ground warfare tactics and space combat tactics. While I'm sure there were many officers skilled in both I can't help but wonder how many extra causalities or defeats in battle came because an officer skilled in either ground or space tactics made significant blunders during battle in the other sphere. Edit: I'm disappointed you didn't talk more about the Escorts since I prefer small or midsized warships to the heavy capital ships and my favorite Warhammer 40,000 officials designs and most of my self made fan designs are Escorts. Though I think if I were making a Warhammer 40,000 video on the Imperial navy and only discussing one type of Warship I would go for the Cruisers since they are the middle ground

[@mac001texas]

😮Yes good point, that is exactly why we separate officers irl. An army officer wouldn't know jack squat about running a boat and the navy officer doesn't know jack squat about conducting ground operations. It's just too much information for one non-transhuman person with a normal lifespan to be proficient at.
