First War for Armageddon / Warhammer 40k Lore

[@RobouteGuilliman-M41]

Your in-character lore is some of the best that there is in existence. MORE!

[@Daimon-X]

The first rule of the First War for Armageddon: You do not talk about First War for Armageddon. The second rule of First War for Armageddon is: You DO NOT talk about the First War for Armageddon!

[@doomguy9049]

The third rule of the First War for Armageddon: *BLAM!!*

Inquisitorial privilege... I assume you don't have question?

[@codyspegel6317]

Inquisition: "How many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man!"

[@Sleepy_zzzzz]

@@codyspegel6317 I'll only remind you only the once, you were *invited* to this conference, and we are not in public, but if you insist on these outburst then my interrogator may enjoy a conversation with you.

[@Furzkampfbomber]

Did you... did you just talk about the First War for Armageddon?

[@alpacaofthemountain8760]

Soldiers: "Hey we won! We'll be heros!" Imperium: "......." Soldiers: "R-right?"

[@Dakooties]

Considering how Angron is just out for the blood, and he took out millions of people and a whole company of Grey Knights, this was a success.

[@bmorebread8993]

Greyknights: U guardsman are next

[@wellhungindung]

Wait a minute...🤔🧐😒 If all records of the First War have been expunged then why are the Second and Third Wars not called the First and Second Wars???

[@ABorderPrince]

Stop asking questions

[@Admmkh]

That kinda talk will not end well.

[@RomanvonUngernSternbergnrmfvus]

The better question would be “what is that thing right behind you?”

[@foff3804]

It's called a giant GW plot hole. You'll find they are near infinite in number.

[@illegalopinions4082]

It's a trap to reveal those who have minds that are susceptible to heresy.

Very fond of these types of lore vids, always like the story side of the absolute grim dark of these kinds of victories. Likes for the algorithm comments for its throne and all that

[@TheGoesen]

One day the imperium will learn that this kind of shit would not have happened if they simply gave the planet a more tame name. Any orks or demons willing to take place in the 'war for butterfly' ? Problem solved

[@Furzkampfbomber]

Also, simply rename all filthy xeno races to 'Nobody', 'No one' etc. 'Nobody just totally decimated the butterflies!' or 'No one just started an insurrection!' has a nice, happy ring to it.

[@thegreatveritas]

Orks be like: Battleflai? Dat it un epik name for da Planet. Letz fly from battl to battl. Slaneesh be like: look at me. I am a pretty buttlerfly. Granted, with tentakles, but still a butterfly. And honestly: don't Google for Alien 4 butterfly. Just don't.

[@snip105]

I remember watching a KZbin video of people using Dawn of War to create the first war for Armageddon where they had use the steel legion and grey knights mod to remake the battle.

[@cy2002]

Fantastic as always! But should we all be expecting a visit from the Gray Knights because this war never happened!

[@georgewazwaz9279]

Oh shit AB Prince dropping some fire 🔥 for us on this glorious friday

[@andywilson5828]

I bought the first grey Knight model in 1989. They were level 4 psykers that could be attached to any army. I had him destroy a whole orc army in 2 turns, playing rogue trader era rules. If you want I will dm you that glorious battle... Battle for armageddon was a cardboard board game I believe. If I remember correctly it was before the heresy and primarchs were created and angron was just a demon Prince. But I may be a little wrong there

[@adambroz3047]

They were just comanders, not superhumans.

Yea except for when you realize how inconsistent the civilians don't know chaos rule is

And look at things now, humanity face to face on every level from high born to low born having to acknowledge that demons and chaos is real and yet humanity still lives is still loyal and still not suffering the traitor the xeno or the heretic to live. No pity! No remorse no fear! For the the khan and the emperor!

[@morgoth4361]

HAve you considered doing a video on the War in the Webway?

[@hokkerville]

Everytime when man wants decent life for himself. He is a servant of dark gods. Bloody imperium logic

[@unclesam1756]

Awesome narration as always, ABP. Last I checked, though, my boy Grimnar did a little more than just voice his opposition to the inquisition's policies. But really, the inquisition is just baffling to me. They're basically going around saying "The God Emperor is good and beneficent and you need to worship him to save your soul. Save it from what you ask? Uhh... nothing. There's no such thing as hell or demons or evil gods. Now get to praying. Heretics get the bolt." If they actually made people aware of chaos and the consequences of messing around with it, there would be a lot fewer Imperial citizen that just pay lip service to the Emperor. I bet half the demonic incursions in the galaxy are caused by idiot teens playing with ouji boards, because "what's the harm? It's not like demons are real." And I've said it several times before, but every time GW wants to have a big war they just conveniently forget that the inquisition exists. With how oppressive the Imperium is you'd think that important worlds like Armageddon would be under permanent scrutiny for signs of chaos cults and xenos infiltration. But no, they just come in after the planet has been completely fucked and kill all the survivors because we can't have people knowing that our enemies are actually real.

[@cousinzeke4888]

Making people aware of chaos, no matter how much you try to warn them against it, is the fastest highway straight to corruption.

[@jackrogers5712]

@@cousinzeke4888 Exactly. The whole point of the Imperium is that it's the most tyrannical regime imaginable which we're meant to find repugnant. Yet, given the realities of the galaxy in the 41st millennium, this level of authoritarianism is actually a necessity - if the average Imperial citizen learned the truth about what's actually out there (intergalactic locust swarm that's likely to consume everything, ancient intelligent machines who harness the power of literal gods, rampaging asexually reproducing monsters who thrive on conflict, piratical raiders who you'd rather die a thousand deaths than let them take you alive etc) it would create a panic and society would cease to function. That's without even needing to worry about the insidious threat of Chaos corruption.

[@illegalopinions4082]

@@cousinzeke4888 Not talking about Chaos isn't doing much to stop them. If anything it leaves them susceptible to manipulation from a threat they are unaware of. Some people will always lean into it. They are the ones already likely to turn, and this weeds them out quicker.

I feel like Grey Knights have no need to speak or shout in battle the way a guardsmen or lesser being might. They're basically Grey Banana Bois, super hardened war machines that lack the faults of Astartes or Thunder Warriors. No pride, no fear, literal demon killing machines who lack emotion.

well yeah they space marines but purer. they are daemon hunters so must be above emotion. The purpose is victory nothing more. marines arnt human, some are a little, or at least are protective of there servants but they will glass a planet if necessary.

[@Doomseer]

@@ABorderPrince Oh I'm extremely familiar with the 40k universe thanks to brilliant channels such as yours and as such I know the vast majority of space marine chapters and of course the imperium at large are ready and willing to sacrifice any amount of lives if it secures victory. However sentencing the brave men and woman of Armageddon to slave labor despite fighting with such tenacity that even the space wolves recognized their courage is just beyond sickening even by the standards of 40k. Honestly if the gray knights had any humanity left between them they would of merely executed them outright in order to spare them of such an indignity.
