Imperial Guard's Assault! | XCOM 2: Warhammer 40k Campaign #1

[@SurrealBeliefs]

Episode 2: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJTIfmCkob2hrc0 It's good to be back in one of my favorite games. If you're a Patron or YT Member, you can submit characters to join our regiment in the Discord server! Also if you want to make sure I don't live in a cardboard box, check out today's sponsor with this link: gsght.com/c/4cg345 -- it's for Persona 3 Reloaded!

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Very happy For this! Thanks

[@APersonOnYouTubeX]

Suggestion: use death Korp grenadiers, skull masks The reason being xcom troops could be argued to be elites and grenadiers of the Korp are elites

[@Gibson7Clans]

Nice... You need some trench warfare with these Kriegs men. :3

[@GamerGrovyle]

The XCOM Discord actually made a post around New Year promising "A year full of good XCOM 3 announcements"

[@Chooch1080]

I did a lot of research. Thought and work into creating Tomahawk. That's why I didn't post anything on these initial videos. I don't know if the Catachan that was added was a stealth reference to me. If it was it was rad as hell 🤙🏿🍻. Sorry I haven't been in a place to financially contribute to your Livelihood. It absolutely wrecks me. But if my comments and Likes actually makes a difference. I hope it does. Thank you for all the work you do, the kindness and support you show your community. And the respect of the medium of Roleplaying. It's truly one of a kind.

[@baileygroves6197]

On one hand I love the death korp of krieg and their aesthetic and lore, but on the other hand I hate my soldiers dying in the game so I don't know how to feel considering the Death Korps specialty of sending themselves to die.

[@modelsnstuffreveiws6628]

Krieg sinned, for that they seek absolution before the emperor, they do not go to their death, for they died long ago, they go for his glory.

[@prophetchosen862]

They don’t commit suicide, but they are willing to die

[@conq1273]

Is it a waste to send soldiers to do their duty?

[@АртемЯкимов-к3д]

With kriegs, i think they should suffer penalty for morale, if nobody died on a mission

[@quentinarne5031]

Remember Commissar Bailey, if you arn’t sending them over to die, they’ll do it themselves

[@DocDewrill]

i love how you called the Tau Warrior "it" at 24:18 im sure that wasnt a contious decision which means you are a true servant of the emperor declaring the Xenos filth as "it" automaticly. very proud

[@thepersian6330]

These are no normal Kriegsman! They have a reason to live! Far more dangerous 😂😂

[@Epickate368]

Hell yeah I’m so excited for this

[@Webulasgim]

A Tempestus Scions/Astra Militarum themed 40K game with Xcom mechanics would be a dream come true fr

[@VorTheRhino]

You need a commissar to keep the Death Korp in check. Their role within the Korp is different to other regiments, often having to prevent them throwing away their lives pointlessly when they can be better used in future missions.

[@SurrealBeliefs]

That's true.

[@LordChaosHavik]

The Commissar's name should be Surreal

[@tajadoleternal5514]

@VorTheRhino and somehow those commissars have a very high casualties rate mostly from "accidental" shots from behind their head. A very close shot at that.

[@felop1187]

They still shoot krieg for cowardice, there are cases where entire krieg regimens retreated from combat, killing their commissar to retreat

[@SilimSavertin]

@@felop1187 That's hardly exclusive to Krieg though, Commissars that rule through fear alone find themselves shot by their own troops sooner or later.

[@akomeadyen1294]

Okay but the DOOM music kicking in when you start unloading on that first pod in that first mission, actually amazing.

[@Numtalegau]

[@alexanderlucard4810]

When the kriegsman enter the battlefield, it turns from a game of capture the flag to shovel tag real quick.

[@bigsarge2085]

FOR THE EMPRAH

[@darkusdudemedia]

I mean Krieg were the poster child of Warhammer Killteam’s revamp so I think it makes sense for them to be the premiere Xcom team

[@ignacio243]

oh boi, I installed XCOM 2 again yesterday and today I come to find this?, this is a heavenly sign I'm sure

[@TheFavoriter]

You don’t know how happy I am that you started an xcom 2 video

[@ex0stasis72]

Glad I found your channel. I discovered this channel via Steam Workshop, as this mod collection is currently the most popular collection in the last 1 year.

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

WELCOME back man! Always happy to see you!😊😊😊❤❤❤

[@Orkillester1]

It blows my mind that an Xcom 2 playthrough in 2024 is racking 100K+ views

[@mullerpotgieter]

Gonna be a lore nerd and mention that Kriegers are not suicidal. Its the cult of sacrifice. A Krieger gives his life not to end his suffering or as pennance. He gives his life in service of the Emperor. A krieger will not jump on a grenade he can evade. He will however jump on a grenade if two others will be injured by it. That's two fighting men at the cost of one. They don't charge gun lines because its an easy way to die. Its because you're expending their ammo, helping your brothers behind you reach the enemy position or so that you may exact a toll on the enemy. A Kriegsman does not die in vain. He dies to repay his debt to the Emperor

[@morbidmars]

LOVE YOUR XCOM PLAYTHROUGHS

[@chringlanthegreat4556]

Amazing to see the emperors finest taking the fight to the Xenos! Glory to Emperor!!! I don’t know if have already planed it, but having the commissar armed with a sword would be thematic, since we all know that the second thing all commissars love other than the Emperor is leading glorious charges in his name!

[@psychobeam99]

This just came across my feed and Im sold.

[@Phytoon]

I really loved the star wars playthrough you did, so I'm really stoked to see this develop!

[@SurrealBeliefs]

Thank you -- that was a lot of fun to do too. I can't wait to go back.

The Great thing about these mods is the narrative cinematics people can make with it

[@nils-peterwihlney8732]

YES! Let's gooooooo! For the Emperor! For the Commander!

[@madnimrod2489]

This looks like it'll be an epic ride. Fingers crossed this LW mod handles the whole "Wounded v Fatigued" thing better than the LW mod in Enemy Within. Still cranky how a guy shot in the shoulder could be down for 3 days yet a guy who was entirely unwounded would be fatigued for 8.

[@guardsman3533]

It would be cool if the spark unit is the space marine

[@ryansarafin12]

2:32 super excited to watch this video but I gotta get the nerd out of me quick, controversy to popular belief Kriegsman are actually super tactical and are one of, if not the most, tactical and disciplined Guardsman units out there and rarely waste life and "reckless" is the last thing that should be used to describe them. Anyways I know I'm being '"that guy" but I see this a lot and had to get it out there, I'll shut up now lol

[@SurrealBeliefs]

Nah, you're not being that guy. I decided to lean into the meme. It's kind of like how I don't believe there is a written confirmed kill from a Kriegsman with a shovel. That's just a community fabrication.

a kriegsman surviving multiple outings?!?! WHAT FOUL SORCERY IS THIS?! XD

[@sebastianrodriguez883]

OMG, XCOM 2! This is going to be epic if the series continúes.

[@90snetworkproductions79]

I remember my last Long War 2 playthrough on Legend, went for over 200+ hours, had to recruit like crazy because so many of my guys were getting hurt/killed from those tier 2 overwatch sentries, rocketeers, and gunners locking us down on evac missions. There was also so many of the enemies hitting shots with 3% chance (OR LOWER,) on my guys on a building like 3-4 floor higher than them, and AI even resorting to tossing grenades at just ONE guy, (my highest ranked of course.) One time a grenade landed under my guy's legs, blew up, and somehow missed, LOL.) Grenades NOT destroying cover/buildings also took some getting used to, since It was a built in cheese. I made the cardinal sin of skipping the GTS first, and by the time i got it I was already 5 KIA soldiers and 1 lost mission in. Even forgot i had to unlock the doom clock, (yes it had to be unlocked,) so imagine my shock when after I crushed the aliens one mission, I was met with the game over cutscene. (Pissed wasn't the word.) I felt like the technical class was a noob trap, (since its rockets could miss a targeted enemy or squad all together and alert them. You could spec into the flamethrower tree where it could shred and damage mecs, or even a large smokescreen, but damage was not its specialty until you hit the exo suits. I can only imagine how this mod becomes even tougher with WOTC's stamina system, which forces you to keep bringing in lower ranked troops because the better ones were exhausted. Can't wait to see this playthrough! Have fun, and play smart! 😁

[@aljoshilagan3204]

remember, kriegs aren't as suicidal as the memes led you to believe. when people say that they haven't retreated before. they meant they never retreat without order. if ordered to retreat, they will do so without any other questions. they are the most disciplined guardsmen in the imperium. so much so that when the commissar tells them to charge into their death, they'll happily do so. not cause they are suicidal, but because it was an order.

[@Lucid837]

Finally he does it !

[@sonofhades57]

Hell yeah, more XCOM!

[@DarkAbyss-em5ly]

If memory serves the Lucius Pattern No. 98 Lasgun is single shot... Tampering with the functionality of your weapon is a disciplinary offence. Please report to your Commissar for immediate execution.

Been awhile but this is exactly what i was looking for, just got another subscription

[@ffnam1299]

Good evening! Thank you for the excellent content! I've been away from XCOM 2 for years but am going to try the 40k conversion. On that note, I subscribed to every mod you have listed in your collection, but I don't see the option to select the faction to start with. The first mission it's not the Tau but looks like original game OPFOR. I have every mod enabled. Any insights? Thank you!

[@HatredsAmbition]

Is there something I've done wrong? I can't get past the first mission because my aim against the Tau and Advent is always 0% despite the Hit factors on the left giving me a different degree. That's not including the fact that I'm flanking squads when they're wide out in the middle of the street.

[@Pancasilaist8752]

Space marine doesn't feel nor they can feel fear because they are specifically designed to not be able to feel fear. Even so, their arrogance toward mortal human still made them join the forces of chaos. The death korps of krieg on the other hand, despite not being designed to be a super soldier or fearless like space marine, they still absolutly loyal to the empire. The proof? I still haven't seen or heard of a single Krieger defecting to chaos.
