I'M SPACE KING RICK!

[@benfromthesewers1688]

This is most faithful adaption of old 40k warhammer. Parodying everything.

[@toastle8005]

Rogue Trader at its most beautiful 🥲

[@Taron_HaiTar]

It's even parodying the inspiration itself!

[@L_Monke]

I hope Flashgitz keeps making more of Space King because it is way better than anything warhammer+ has to offer.

[@omegavalwin]

EP 2 is coming

[@tilldream8622]

I believe they are planning to make more episodes by telling people to support them.

[@rmartinson19]

In fairness, the "mop-head" is actually a re-creation of how the Roman Legions marked their Centurions (officers in command of a Century of men, roughly 80-100 men depending on the time period). The transverse horse-hair crest was meant to be seen even in the midst of a chaotic battle, so that the common soldiers knew where to look to for orders. Pretty much everyone in ancient times did something similar for the same reasons, but a huge chunk of the Imperium's imagery and iconography is meant to reference ancient Rome specifically, so that's where they get it from. It's also because the franchise's poster-boys, the Ultramarines, are the most heavily Roman-inspired Space Marine chapter, and they were hugely influential to the rest.

I love his name is Chestnut because his job is to keep the nuts to his chest 😂

Praise be to Space King!!

[@Lorlic1138]

Fun fact, StarCraft was supposed to be set in the WH40K universe but war games wouldn’t sign off on it. So they made their own IP but kept a lot of the assets. That’s why Terrans look like space marines.

[@ehoffart529]

What I love about the characters is how childish they are. Considering they're all probably like 10 when they get recruited.

[@silverdust4197]

There black templar vs the furry is so close to canon , its hilarious

[@blacktemplarbrotherlucius1935]

Indeed, very amusing.

[@douglaszelazny1094]

But, because they were selling shirts and making money from it, they realized they had to stop or be sued. No telling if lawyers were involved. So they moved to space king.

[@pheonixshaman]

It is canon as far as I am concerned.

[@Nastranai]

From what I'm gathering these characters will be returning and recurring. The way that Bryce says he'll see his captain again makes me think that those 'globules' contain the personality and memories of the Star Defenders that are then passed on to the next generation of recruits that they get forced into, so only total destruction of the body, globules included, will ensure the death of a Defender.

[@danielbob2628]

I was waiting for someone to point this out

[@samueltrusik3251]

Truly, this is Peak warhammer.

[@jatsi96]

9:40 They are all insane and they hear their own version of Space King, individually. :)

[@michaelkimberling7307]

The name FlashGitz is a reference to Ork Freebooters (Ork Pirates) who are often obsessed with collecting treasure, which they call flashy bits. As a result, other Orks will call them FlashGitz as an insult because of their obsession with with wealth/treasure, because it’s something that doesn’t involve fighting.

[@Ochiras2]

Space mommy appears... goddamn..... me too brother, me too

[@b3rz3rk3r9]

Hey Airier, I'm glad you're checking out Space King. The passion and comedy in this short really tells me that the team grok Warhammer and how to best Spaceballs the whole thing. Hilariously good animation as well, as the action is just fun. Also, OMFG BRO, THERE'S A NEW HUNTER THE PARENTING SOON!!!

[@TBKOTOROB]

PRAISE BE TO SPACE KING

[@tHiNk413]

SPACE KINGS BALLS! Nice reaction!

[@Airier]

Thanks. Although I'm still holding out hope for Space King Balls 2: The Schwartz Awakens. 😁

[@TheArcSet]

I wondered if this would languish in your box. The creator made a splash with a series of 40K animations (and not 40K animation), then decided to crowd fund a _"Not 40K"_ series.

[@wanderingursa8184]

ChestNUTS, he has the nuts on his chest. Peak comedy.

[@supremefankai5480]

Now he has to watch the Black Templars videos, because it is surprisingly within canon, it could totally happen, for the most part.

[@kongfeet81]

7:24 “suffer not the xenussy”

[@dredgenauryx3382]

Queen, Brood Queen, Hive Queen, Broodmother these are all things in starcraft with minor differences... I think the Broodmothers are the highest rank among them but I am not entirely certain.

[@1990loulou]

When you realize why they call him Chest-Nut

[@dragons_hook]

25:04 it's also kind of a reference to Doom with the Space Marines and demons thing if you think about it.

[@gundam2jimmy]

Chestnut, the medic, carries the container of holy globules on his chest.....hence his name. :P

[@EntityKing1]

20:06 and that’s why he’s called Chestnut

[@Menhtrol]

They are just like the Penguins of Madagascar... 🤣

[@kenupton4084]

Their patreon is worth every penny. The unedited is fantastic.

[@nicholasgogel5606]

He’s called ‘Chest-Nutt’ cuz he has the ‘holy globules’ in a container on his chest… Also the ‘translator’ looks like a tampon in Brice’s death scene

[@bliblivion]

you would love their old 40k parodies and their comics "Regular Marines"

[@FoxGhost7]

The whole "Spacemarines vs Furries" series is awesome, too. At first I thought it would just be a cheap dig at Furries but it's actually funny.

[@OfficialDomPhighting]

PRAISE BE TO SPACE KING!!!!

[@nikita1578]

This reminded me of a book. In it, cultists destroyed a communications tower on a mining planet. Right during the orc invasion. There was no communication with the fleet, and in the besieged cities people began to go crazy with despair and worship Tzeentch. After the orcs, the guards also had to deal with cultists and a demonic invasion. Only three people survived (Commissar Atia Holmg, Inquisitor Alonso Barro and nun Alita Stein). Cool book, one of a whole series (series about Commissar Holmg). But not canon. Russia is full of such books. GW has nothing to do with them.

[@americantemplar6109]

Space King 2 just came out!

[@KawaiiNeko333]

The Holy Globules are the Space King equivalent of Geneseed. I'd imagine they just pop them into a cloner, if not some new --victim-- recruit and they're good as new.

[@kiritotheabridgedgod4178]

Given that they had a name, job and personality traits listed on one, I suspect that essentially rewrite their genetics, then a specific set of brainwashing, tailored to each pair, is administered to do cloning, whilst getting around the whole "Cloning is heretical" thing.

[@LegatusLucius2]

He is collecting the gene seed which in this case is in the balls😂

[@afanwithtoomuchtime4375]

Hilarious as always Airier.

[@Airier]

Thanks. 😁 I'm just practicing future innuendo for the next star wars vs 40k reaction. 😎👍
