There is something biblical about the shot of moving those massive broadside shells at 21:40. The way they peel their forms out of the dark, passing the light of the aquila, pulled by hundreds and hundreds of hands, the pure simplicity and determination men musters to determine its own fate in the darkness of this universe. Captures the mood of 40k perfectly.

[@davey_boy94]

Having cannons that big makes zero sense. Hell, you'd be able to destroy the shells mid-flight if that were the case. Grimderp.

[@liciniusscapula7696]

@@davey_boy94 Those shells are hurled like meteors at the enemy, unless they respond with adequate kinetic/thermal force - which few enemies outside of chaos/ork fleets have (and they;ve never demonstrated any advanced point defense) - the macrocannon projectile would annihilate them. The guns are also far more robust than more advanced directed energy weapons, easily repairable and operable by downright medieval crewmen. It's a perfectly fine weapon for the grim darkness of 40k.

That's the Low Gothic we can understand. True Low Gothic contains a lot more in the way of "Ooo Arrr" & "Oy Dalin". Like they're from Devon.

[@Medyazgeflyzer]

The way the machine spirit of Sword of Baal is animated is fantastic!! I’d like to think it’s how exactly how I imagined communicating with a space marine vessel’s machine spirit might be (from the descriptions of Octavia communicating with both Covenant of Blood and Echo of Damnation in the Nightlords trilogy).

[@SoonGone]

This was great as was Angels of Death. Question; After the last scene of episode 10 did anyone else think that it may have actually been a Necron device instead of an STC? Or perhaps something akin to Necron technology. As the Adeptus Machanicus want to leave behind the weaknesses of the flesh, then surely, it stands to reason that they must be very interested in the Necrons, as they've managed to translate entirely into the machine.

@@ImperialArmour Yea, that was mids writing. He didnt really do anything to deserve it.

[@elsiedoomhammer7646]

Youre right, she didn't have to. Maybe she should've taken some time to reeeally think it over. Then perhaps she could've forced herself to keep one eye on him at all times from then on. That's assuming everything else went the same way and they didnt all die in the void. That's not an assumption I'd make though because that guy likely wouldve gotten everyone killed pretty fast. For me though, shooting that guy was when I fell in love with her character. I've yelled "Kill that one before they're a bigger problem!" at so many movies and novels (no small amount of those veing Warhammer novels) that I felt very satisfied with how she... handled things 😊

[@aaronheaps1633]

Why is an Adeptus Astartes battlebarge crewed by mere humans? Where are the Blood Angels? This is not an auxillary escort but one of the battlebarges of the Blood Angels chapter. This thing can launch thunderhawk gunships and Terminator teleport attacks. Drukhari should not be able to board a battlebarge and live! This video would have made far more sense aboard a vessel of the Navis Imperialis. The depiction of the Drukhari was excellent.

[@panzarpaddan]

Im pretty sure Sword of Baal isnt a Battlebarge, its a Strike Cruiser. Would make sense for it to have atleast one company of Blood Angels onboard it though

[@StrahdVonZarovich802]

This mini movie is part of the Angels of Death mini series (10 episodes) on Warhammer+. You should watch that and you will get the idea of why you don't see any blood angels although I am pretty sure something else happened between the tv series and this movie cause i also have some questions after watching it.

[@JohannVF]

First, the Sword of Baal is a Strike Cruiser. Second, Astartes ships are usually crewed by Chapter Serfs (Blood Thralls, in the case of Blood Angels), with the actual Astartes mostly absent from Command (except for the Fleet as a whole, which usually has an Astartes Captain leading it). In this case, either the Astartes contingent was absent (deployed, KIA, etc) or dead from the initial Dark Eldar strike.

[@kinnusai4432]

@@StrahdVonZarovich802 This is a prequel to the series you're talking about. I've watched it all several times and I don't recall anything that would explain why there appear to be zero Blood Angels on the ship. Thinking about it now, it seems a bit lame to me that the series is about Blood Angels and yet there aren't any in this episode.

@@kinnusai4432 It makes no sense because lorewise, a strike cruiser always carries 100 marines and isn't crewed by humans, its crewed by tech-priests, servitors and thralls.
