Retribution - The Final Battle (CSM)

[@firelord699]

That was perfect timing. *Casts the kill Kyras button* Chaos Deadnought: BACK TO THE EYE, WEAKLING!

[@TheSonOfDumb]

Kyras' death is counted as a genuine unit kill and it can trigger voice lines. In my case just now, Eliphas said "skulls for the skull throne!"

[@LamborghiniDiabloSVPursuit]

"....and with the millions of souls sacrificed to the Chaos Gods, Abaddon is now gifted with the dark blessing he had longed for all these millenia: A new pair of arms.

[@Cringe_Lord]

*Abaddon the Grafted*

[@StefanoBolis96]

Kyras: If you destroy the towers I can be killed... Eliphas: thank you bro I didn't knew that!

[@AbyssalZones]

"Though it appears I will never meet the great Gabriel Angelos in battle... why does everyone keep telling me I sound like him anyway?"

[@Damocles178]

I love how Kyras goes and says "do not think this is my weakness" long after he made it blatantly obvious! There were many great quotes in this but the real bad-ass has to be the Chaos Dreadnought; "Back to the eye weakling!". It sure gave Kyras what for in the end methinks :D

[@heresy8384]

+AlphaArgonian I wish Chaos Terminators were in any of the dawn of War games.

[@nemanjailic8001]

I think there are Chaos Dreadnoughts in the Ultimate Apocalypse mod for Soulstorm. That mod is awesome and you should try it.

[@MyViolador]

Eliphas was lucky to not meet Gabriel in battle.

[@JVarley9001]

Storywise, this mission seems kinda unsatisfying for everyone but the Blood Ravens. All other factions, the story is focused on someone completely unrelated to you while you do the real work.

[@hellfire2180]

Kyras: (breaths fire) great unclean one and chaos dreadnought: fuck that shit we're staying here

[@DozenthTurmoil]

I love how they saw the opportunity for unique dialogue for the CSM and took it! now there's some special effort you don't see in games these days

[@WarothDraath]

Gabriel is respected by Eliphas. Shows you how badass he is.

[@TheSonOfDumb]

Eliphas should have respect for the Blood Ravens given that they've beaten him at least two times, once with him at the head of a massive Word Bearers army on Kronus.

[@dragonstormx]

Eliphas: Araghast once thought I would be an assist to his cause, look to what has happened to him. Kryas: I'm a daemon you idiot, you can't kill me. Neorth: Besides, we both know the real reason you won't join him is because Abbadon's sorcerers will fry you brain. Eliphas: Shut up! Neorth: Shall I remind you that the Exterminatus across the sector is under way this very moment. Eliphas: Well Abbadon didn't say he would kill me, so it's probably nothing.

[@THEGRUMPTRUCK]

"So long as my [CONVENIENT PLOT DEVICES] are in place, I am unbeatable" Me: Huh...... Neat.

[@takashi0100]

3:51 Kyras: BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE! MILK FOR THE KHORNE FLAKES!!

[@finaladvance5085]

Gabrielle must of been really confused about who was inadvertently helping him

[@TheMan6376]

7:14 Of course Abbaddon. That is the kind of aggressive genius thinking that lead you to not conquer Cadia 13 times.

[@Sangrenegra9]

@DrMlieko - Depends which way you look at it. Necrons are really just slaves - the C'tan are the smart ones, as they are pulling the Necrons' strings. Orks know exactly where they are in the universe. They don't mind being used as others' (normally Eldar) pawns, because as far as they are concerned their sole aim is to prove they are the hardest bastards in the universe, and so far they've done a pretty good job, even if it means fighting each other.

[@Damocles178]

Eliphias suggested the same thing. However the reason is because Abaddon didn't want to be usurped in the eyes of the Chaos gods since Eliphas had also pledged the souls of the Blood Ravens to Abaddon as payment for his resurrection while Kyras wanted to offer the entire Blood Ravens chapter as a sacrifice to Khorne. Abaddon did not want to be denied of the prize Eliphias had promised which is why Abaddon ordered Eliphias to stop Kyras.

[@Damocles178]

* Eliphias was bound to Abaddons service and he had absolutely no choice but to obey his orders. Though you do wonder if Khorne himself might be a little pissed off that he was denied the offering of the entire blood ravens chapter :P

[@iammjolnir]

Chaos Dreadnoughts say the Damndest things...

[@TheHorreK2]

I still think its funny how a LIBRARIAN became a Demon acended from Khorne

[@professorsponge1554]

Is that Jonah Orion at 5:27?

[@heresy8384]

Yep. Poor Jonah. He was more badass than Cyrus.

[@professorsponge1554]

Commisar Tea And he wasn't voiced by Steve-voice-everyone-Bloom

[@mekklord]

Damn Steve Blum's voice is sexy. Eliphas sounds very much like Starscream from the Transformers Prime series he ALSO voices. Which is also fitting, as both as traitorous bastards.

[@TheStargateNerd]

@TheGuwntheen It's not really. The Chaos warbands tend to fight each other when given the reason, sometimes they even fight members of their own legion.

[@LJFRY1974]

@DrMlieko That pretty much sums it all up actually. But the necrons, they follow.. well. I'd think they would follow some sort of instinct comparing to Tyranids, which is 'KILL ALL LIFE' but, they have gods that are much like chaos, just far more refined and much older.

[@barbiquearea]

@trololol12356 I think it's because Kyras was sacrificing billions of souls of an entire sector to Khorn. Such a tribute would have made him uber powerful. He might have probably become more powerful than a greater daemon. Also Ulkair wasn't at his full strength. Remember he was weakened in CR. They also probably hastidly resurrected him to quickly fight Kyras, so he only had a fraction of his full power.

[@rheunark3985]

I really think that in all of the DoW games, it's only really Khorne and perhaps, a little bit of nurgle here and there. I mean, Slaanesh is only mentioned once, and Tzeentch is not even mentioned! I fear GW has alot to answer for... "PLOT, FOR THE PLOT GOD!!!!! FATE, FOR THE FATE THRONE!!!!! LET, THE GALAXY, CHAAAAANGEEEEE!!!!!" - Kyras if GW had gotten their heads out of their respective asses and logically thought that, oh i don't know... KHORNE HATE'S PSYKERS?!!! "DRUGS FOR THE DRUG GOD! SMUT FOR THE SMUT THRONE! LET, THE GALAXY, RAAAAAPEEEEE!!!!!" - Some perverted cultist trying to get laid/attention in the face of, TZEENTCH, CHANGER OF WAYS. Dehaka fully approves of of Tzeentch's perspective on everything, "Change, is good" is all he says.

[@rebornpheonix1016]

Tzeentchian Tyrannids?

[@abbcc5996]

hey bigdickcheney, its been a decade but did you never upload the optional mission on the judgement of carrion?

[@ShadowKnight275]

eliphas liked gabriel too...its similar to the joker/batman relationship in the dark knight, although they would kill eachother if given a chance..but still...

[@Snipergod1024]

Tzeench, Nurgle, Khorne and Slaanesh are the four.

[@claypidgeon4807]

That poor Predator arrived seconds too late to partake in the battle.

[@kalmahcarl]

3:14 "SKULLS FOR THE SKULL!!!"

[@ILostMyIcecream]

2:48 Daemons went poof Gabriel went sleepy :3

[@nobby3265]

3:51 BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! MILK FOR THE KHORNEFLAKES!!

[@TheStargateNerd]

No. Khorne is Khorne. Kyras becase a Daemon Prince of Khorne. Which means that he got enough favour from the Blood God to ascend. And even though Eliphas and Kyras both serve Chaos, they are different factions. Different factions tend to fight each other for various reasons They're not one united group like the Imperium is.

[@TheGuwntheen]

@TheStargateNerd thank you :D

[@K0ragg]

@TheScreamingGoblin that applies for any strategy games u always get the obvious weaknesses and that shall be your objective before your final blow......i dont know whats that funny since it happens in any strategy game with boss fights.

[@Haloister]

@Anonie324 But if you remember he dedicated himself to Nurgle

[@DarkArtistKaiser]

When I saw Gabriel get killed, my jaw dropped. After that, I wanted to get Kyras for killing Gabriel. I maybe Chaos, but damn it, I liked Gabriel. :(

[@nobby3265]

He's not dead

[@TheStargateNerd]

@TheGuwntheen Problem?

[@MrAnthonyDraft]

@Airganoth So? Doesn't mean he doesn't have them.

[@Anonie324]

@Haloister Not just nurgle. He is a member of the Black Legion, and before that, the Word Bearers. They are pan-chaos legions. He dedicates his services to every god.

[@Colenelnelson]

@DrMlieko how are the necrons intelligent.

[@ShadowKnight275]

I STILL DONT GET WHY A DAEMON PRINCE IS SO MUCH MORE POWERFUL THAN A GREATER DAEMON!!! THERE IS NO SENSE OF LORE!! AAHHH!!

[@Ma3gau]

2.55 wahaahah :D eliphas laugh is funny xD

[@Haloister]

@Airganoth yeah Nurgle vs Tzeentch would make more sense here Tzenntch would want a psyker and eliphas is for Nurgle.

[@OPworldwideIA]

Its like: Hi, I am the evil (insert here), I am indestructible, to kill me you have to do this and that... Oh, wait, why did I tell you?

[@ArchangeZ]

I always come here, cause its so nice they mentioned Araghast in Chaos Campaign again...

[@ArchangeZ]

@Mialisus okay, you genuinely made me laugh xDDD

[@lordtomlluckrahthegreat9014]

Eliphas the Inheritor: "The secrets of Araghast die with me" Force Commander Aramus: "Who? 😏" Eliphas the Inheritor: "You killed him! How do you not remember? Shut up! JUST, SHUT UP! You don't even talk and nobody knows your name, so shut up. Next to Araghast you are nothing!" Force Commander Aramus: "He kinda died like a bitch, tho"

[@Pancombine18]

+Benjamin Burdige Kyras was only fool who believed he can defeat us

[@TheGuwntheen]

@TheStargateNerd Umm..... I think that problem.

[@nroland99]

@DaGuyInTheCorner kyras only wants the power for himself, but the true dogs of chaos serve the dogs, offering their lives, and others, to them

[@RavenDaybreaker]

The End battle was too easy imo because you could basicly lay tank fire down from that cliffs. Kyras couldn't reach you and you could keep firing at him with tanks forever...

[@yuvalhuck1]

do you think that evil is one big happy family?

[@giantturtlecat2959]

I din’t get it... Why is the black legion fighting Khornate forces? Edit: Don’t those icons at the top left mean the following? Chaos Undivided Tzeentch’s sign The eye of HORUS Nurgle’s Sign

[@nevermore7285]

Giant Turtle Cat Eliphas works for Abandon. Kyras is trying to upstage Abandon and seemingly has taken control over a Black Legion Warband, so Eliphas was sent to kill him.

[@KCtheGreater]

@TheScreamingGoblin In the far future of the 41st millenium, there is no peace, no respite, and no concept of team chat...

[@superfrycook6360]

Why is Eliphas confronted the Alpha Legion?

[@THEGRUMPTRUCK]

these alpha legion are fighting the blood ravens, and abaddon sees the need to take their souls instead of letting them go to khorne. he would also get kyras's Uber powerful soul if eliphas kills him. abaddon and his great plan to foil the chaos gods as a chaos undivided champion.

[@thescribeinyellow3985]

I thought they were the Black Legion. Wasn't Alpha Legion infiltrators (with the exception of "Metal Boxes" Carron the Bloodthirster-possession fodder's forces), and Black Legion led by Abaddon?

[@Replican815]

Because, if he kills Kyras, Eliphas will take all the credit and transcend into daemonhood.

[@TheStargateNerd]

Lol. *Great Unclean One :) Which is the Greater Daemon of Nurgle.

[@takashi0100]

5:21 Oh hai thar Jonah! Having a nice nap?

[@firelord699]

Boy that Eliphas doesn't give a crap about his brother dieing. xD

[@JimmyMcGill12]

Can anyone explain the story of CSM in DoW2 ? Why are they killing a daemon prince...

[@BULMASDESTRUCTIN]

1. is this the cannon? 2. Did eliphas die?

[@TovKafur]

It is unclear yet. This ending is not 100% canon, since Gabriel managed to survive. Most probably Eliphas died again, and canonical ending is SM/IG/Eldar (since they are not that contradictory).

[@sangvinhun]

so why would eliphas want to kill kyras- he wants a warprift to open in aurelia

[@TheStargateNerd]

True dat

[@pieterwillembotha6719]

so why did the chaos marines want to kill their own god?

[@Damocles178]

You might already know this by now but what brought Eliphias into confrontation with Kyras was an earlier bargain Eliphias had made with Abaddon. You see Eliphias had pledged the Blood Ravens souls to Abaddon but this would be complicated by Kyras pledging the souls to Khorne. Eliphias actually did say to Abaddon why not just let Kyras wipe them out? Abaddon however was having none of it. He would not stand for being usurped in the eyes of the Chaos Gods as Eliphias had already promised him their souls. So Kyras was a threat to their bargain and the other thing was it was Abaddon that brought Eliphias back. If not for that Abaddon probably wouldn't have cared what Kyras did.

[@horizenwalker705]

See what I don't understand is the fact that Eliphas still think Kyras is a chapter master of the Blood Ravens. When, in fact, he turned to heresy. Why does he still savor the kill of a traitor?

[@TrashGoblin824]

Because how often would someone get to say that they killed a Daemon Prince?

[@jacobs4545]

Horizen Walker because if gabriel and his SMs were destroyed that would make the blood ravens a de facto traitor chapter

[@kennycai8695]

Technically, Kyras never relinquished his position, but most within the Blood Ravens are either oblivious or have already turned. As for Eliphas, the deal he made with the Despoiler was to offer the souls of the entire chapter as his bargain to have his flesh restored. Logic is pretty "eh", but based on the wording, that means every last Blood Raven, which includes Kyras.

[@TheGloryofCadia]

If they were both chaos, why couldn't they be friends? Yknow, why were they fighting?

[@LotusBRGamer]

that's Chaos for you infighting,serving the dat gods, and backstabbing is their "modus operandi"

[@TheGuwntheen]

Chaos VS Chaos

[@arcanasplit]

No, he is just a deamon prince of Khorne

[@THEGRUMPTRUCK]

The four chaos godd, tzeench, nurgle, khorne. And the last i cant remember. Anyhpw. They hate each other, as do their forces.

[@Haloister]

So its Nurgle vs Khorne this should be . . . wow that was quick

[@juliandavidhoffer2022]

Sucks there is no banter between Ulkair and Kyras

[@nobby3265]

Missed opportunity there since he also slayed ulkair himself as a mortal

[@juliandavidhoffer2022]

@@nobby3265 exactly. I think there was so much more to be done with Kyras in general.

[@TheStargateNerd]

They aren't. They're attacking Kyras.

[@K0ragg]

@TheScreamingGoblin Like starcraft aint in a dark universe thing or something lol.But eh w/e.

[@doloreg]

@10Maloy He's probably a better master than abbadon, but then he wouldn't ascend to daemonhood.
