MOST WHOLESOME THINGS IN 40K CHRISTMAS SPECIAL | Astartes Anonymous Podcast #21

[@notribadsvault]

Dorn also had a wholesome family relationship, no mom to my knowledge but a grandfather figure who gave him a blanket he had through the great crusade and Horus heresy.

[@sonicwingnut]

Vulcan and Guillimom have a shared wholesome moment too - when she tells Kurze to get bent, he is about to kill her but an enraged, insane Vulcan comes crashing through the wall like the Kool-Aid man and batters him, saving her life.

[@paulellington1505]

Dantioch and Pollux loved each other like one loves a brother as well as having a true respect and admiration for each other's intelligence and strength of will. That's one of my favorite stories in the setting.

[@PoolNoodleGundam]

Least cool iron warrior dooms galaxy over a 🤮 fist

[@christophersmith8848]

​@@PoolNoodleGundam Perturabo's on his alt accounts again

[@elizabethyoung5304]

It's mine too. Loved those two characters so much. Their interactions and overall story was one of my absolute favorites of the series.

[@williamings773]

I think the most wholesome moment where the vox communications between the Iron Warriors and Word Bearers on Istvan. Or Kharn expressing his feelings towards Erebus.

[@VA_Nightshade]

That second half got me.

[@jackmack4181]

1:11:16 this is how I see it Tusk and his orks was Khornes pets, like he had this small cage of them. One day he looks at the cage and finds them just gone. Years go by and one day he goes into the kitchen for a late night snack and turns on the light and sees everything covered in green. At first he thinks it’s Nurgle mold again then the green starts “Waaagh”ing and he realizes “oh shit they escaped…and multiplied”

[@ssjjshawn]

1:00:00 Actually it was the rest of the Smurfs who got pissed, Calgar wasnt mad at all and understood them

[@Dutch40KGuy]

Another great podcast! Very much enjoyed it ladz, happy holidays!

[@MootsTheFunnySwede]

Thank you very much man!! Happy holidays to you as well ❤

[@jeremyedwards4426]

How did Sevatar not get mentioned for ending that dude who beat up his little psyker girl friend.

[@helldrake77777]

You missed out the most wholesome thing in the whole setting! . . . What Kharn did to Erebus after learning who killed Argel Tal.

[@firefang600]

Insert kharn behind erebus picture a lah undertaker behind aj styles meme.

[@russellstoflet3767]

Night lord geneseed but salamanders level of compassion

[@konradcurze7657]

Calgar understood that the lamentors believed they were unworthy, everyone else didn’t see it that way. The chapter master tried to explain it but people don’t wanna listen

[@ethantruelove7465]

i named my cat grimbo too! i use the phrase dumpy grimbo all the time aswell

[@dramsac17]

Vulcan didn't make the titan he helped Perturabo make the engine that powers it. Perturabo's dream in Angel Exterminatus when he gets pulled into the psychic vision by Fulgrim would be his best "wholesome" moment.

[@AhzekBile]

You should do a video where each of you pick out your favorite astartes and argue who is the best and why theres suck

[@jordandean2066]

We will have our time in the sun!

[@jordandean2066]

Or the red star, or Mata Nui's eyes? I don't remember there being a vaguely Latin or maorii name for it.

To both Praise and at the same time Yikes.jpg the Blood Angels, during their Revenant Legion days, if i remember right, they also ate their dead before Sanguinius was found. During the time when the Imperium was lowkey-highkey trying to have them 'accidentally' die out by giving them next to no reinforcements or supplies. Unlike the Spears though, it was less "let's remember this beloved brother by taking him into ourselves" and more "our geneseed is very good at taking in literally anyone and anything, quick, grab some randos from this planet, make them a neophyte and feed them the brain of the the Captain who died yesterday" and so their neophytes went from Newbie to Kicking Ass overnight.

[@dustinatkinson5744]

Barbarus and Pollox are the best example of how Space Marines were meant to be

[@collecter343]

Pretty sure the Scythes are just the remnants of the original company of Ultramarines that were stationed on Sotha that survived the Night Lord assault. The Silver Skulls are probably the descendants of the Sons of Dantioch mainly due to their iconography, method of war and just cause their origins are hazy enough for it to be possible.

[@sierraandrews9921]

its kind of annoying htey are seperate, I really feel the silver SKulls should be the ones to have the mask. As it would be a good excuse for their icon too :p

[@thepyrokitten]

53:00 - I think this was a discussion between primarchs, and it was in reference to Vulkan's capacity to create, and to preserve humanity. Or it may have been between a primarch and Malcador. Either way, in another book it's mentioned the Emperor is annoyed with Vulkan for his slowness in the Crusade. So......maybe?

[@nikolthomas2544]

Didn't Perturabo make miniatures, partly for battle simulations? If he did, that counts as toymaking, to me anyway

[@kiddo6393]

Ask Fulgrim, I hear he got a close up

[@garyfrank7962]

14:50 Brittish man learns that culture impacts language. WHOA!

[@Channel-23s]

Didn’t think it was that rare or culture based

[@Wafflemarine22]

Word Bearers I think had a warped idea of a Primarch considered their Primarch was the most pathetic one. During the Plague War books the Custodians assigned to protect Guiliman at one point think why are we trying to keep up with and protect him? While watching Guilliman full sprint tear though plague marines and their engines like he is fighting toddlers. I my head everytime Guilliman fights it plays out like the Sherlock Holmes movies where its slow motion and he is mentally explaining every action and reaction as it happens while solving why their was a logistical slow down at a nearby space port at the same time because he had some extra mental action points.

[@Nobody-zl3kk]

Actually Tom's assertion that back when Badab was conceived who was a chapter's original primarch, as in, how much gene seed mattered, is categorically wrong in the best sense, the "oh i didn't know that, cool!" Sense You see, Badab as a lore event precedes the Horus Heresy in regards to when it was introduced. Badab as a lore event was written about before primarchs were even a part of the setting. The reason that gene-seed or who the og progenitor chapter or the chapters present at Badab isn't so much that GW had more tact back in the day but that when the Salamanders appeared on badab they still wore a Piss Yellow and green dotted scheme and were a filler chapter, the raptors wore optimus prime colors and the iron hands (if I am remembering correctly) were not a thing, so the sons of medusa didn't even had that context

[@SnorlaxMinis]

I will not stand for reds blood angels slander! But love the podcast and had me cackling at the titanium balls dantioch and his banana bestie😂😂

[@germanmandalorian3514]

Finally, Talos, now that you kill me you are the Christmas 40k.

[@justinhoyt5982]

Yall really need to repair your space hulk

[@miaellis6128]

The last thing I expect on a 40k podcast is a proudhon quote

[@przemysawseredyszyn1405]

Where's the evidence for Silver Skulls having anything to do with Iron Warriors? Their heavy reliance on Librarians is not something IW were known for and their tradition of head taking and coating the skulls in silver is, if my memory serves me right , the exact same thing White Scars Master of the Hunt is said to do with the skulls of his prey. Combined with the stronger role of WS Librarians in the chapter compared to other Codex compliant Marines there would actually be a better theoretical case for them being WS succesors ( if you ignore the fact that they are confirmed to be Ultramarine succesor).

[@woodchuck94og]

So having parents makes u a usles primarch?

[@VA_Nightshade]

Kind of 50/50. The Lion didn't have parents, and he was a mess, good at his job, and ruined everything. all at once.

[@woodchuck94og]

@@VA_Nightshade as long as he isn't Leman Russ everything is ok

[@Necronmage]

Well, not having psychotic parents is always a plus.
