[@maddriim]

Exactly what my father tell me when I've show this to him😂😂😂

[@joeltrekwars2162]

I tried counting the number of ships on Angus' side and determine how many losses he had in this battle. At 1:34 I got to 43 ships, the largest I could count (if someone could count the ships in the second hyperspace scene that'd be great). They are met by Zargothrax's three "Chaos" ships. They do battle. One of Zargothrax's ships goes up in a salvo of Hoots after its shields take a grueling hit. 2:16 one of Angus' submarines gets blown up. 2:21 I'm unsure if in the explosions that was a ship or just the shields taking a hit. 2:32 the second of Zargothrax's vessels blows up, its Chaos wizard keyboard player throwing up his hands in defeat. This ship was probably responsible for *at least* two submarine causalities. 2:39 the sole remaining Chaos vessel targets just Angus' ship. 2:47 looks like three submarines destroyed in the flyby over Angus' ship. 2:58 looks like another submarine, to the left of Agnus' ship, gone. 3:02 Angus' ship is heavily damaged. 3:45 Angus had enough and channeled the might of the Astral Hammer through his submarine, crippling the last Chaos vessel and sending it flying off into space, its power shutting off. So, in conclusion. Angus' causalities are: 5 confirmed submarine losses, 8 if you add the assumed losses. All things considered, that is pretty good. I discounted most of the explosions since there was no debris accompanying it, and they were likely the result of Hootsforce weaponry impacting Chaotic shields and vis versa. If you discount the singing and "dancing" in the video, Angus was prepared for the attack -- likely because I think he knew they would intercept him, given his probable destination was somewhere just outside of the solar system -- but was blindsided by the guitar and piano wizards in that one persistent Chaotic vessel who ignored all objectives to try and KILL him. If anyone has a better analysis, please post it. I had fun doing this.

Amazing dude! I always love this kind of stuff!

[@conradfrancis4662]

good job, I double checked your work and is seems you didn't miss anything, but i got 44 submarines at 0:43 The subs they use look to be Ohio Class Nuclear Submarines with a crew of 140. So 8 sub loses would mean 1120 loses + how ever many on the damaged ships. I have no idea how to count the loses on Zargothrax's side so if anyone could find a good way to do that please do. Is this just a fun video that got taken way to far? Of course, why not.

I can only imagine that a Gloryhammer concert will look like some kind of off the chain LARP, with Hootsmen showing up looking like cyborg vikings, while Zargothrax fans look up showing like chaos cultists.

The way I see it, each part of the band controls a part of the ship. The guitars are in charge of weapons on both ships, which is why when zargothrax has the better guitar solo he destroys much of the hootsforce fleet. On the submarines, the drums are engineering and they’re in charge of keeping the ship functioning after zargothrax’ devastating attack. On the other side, zargothrax’ piano is engineering there, which is why we see the piano right by the power display. Angus captains his ship and commands the fleet, tying it all together against zargothrax’ attack

So... in the Gloryhammer Universe (or, I guess, Multiverse now?) the ultimate weapon is not, in fact a hammer but the Space Battleship Yamato with Brian May installed in the engine room? I... uh, actually, that kinda works in canon doesn't it?

I never imagined I would once listen to Power metal Euro dance. It works :D

[@AOIXenocide]

Space submarines, with windows, that can go into hyper space, fire lasers, and take a blow from a Laser Powered Goblin Smasher/ Thunder Striking Wizard Thrasher. Makes perfect sense and is epic. According to a co-worker is better than the last episode of Game of Thrones, which did not have the power of HOOTS!!!

in a comment section of another Gloryhammer song, you can actualy find how all of this started. one guy has meet them in a pub and when he asked them how they came up with all of this, one of their members (can't remember which one) asked him: "Do you know Magic the Gathering?"
