[@bigmonkeking9067]

Fun fact: The Night Lords were sent to a planet on a mission, and they were attached with the Raven Guard. The 8th did not notice the guard until they revealed themselves, which crazy because they literally see in the dark and Konrad was the only one that did notice them. The Night Lords were freaking out cause they saw them on radar. Imagine the 8th being on edge when they something was hunting them.

[@kieranadamson3224]

I think people forget that Space Marines can definitely be stealthy if they wish. Simply because a) the Raven Guard are some of the smallest Astartes if I recall correctly. Not the shortest but they're close. Then b) as a universal factor, Astartes are terrifyingly fast and agile. In the right circumstances if they don't want to be noticed they won't be.

[@aleksandarperovic8769]

Corvus is in that sweetspot where a character is so edgy you could cut yourself on him, but he has every reason to be that way. Also he is the resident Lorgar bully of the setting and he gets so many extra points for that.

[@demiurgusgodofform8589]

17:04 To be fair, those nuclear weapons next to the moon prison were meant to be both deterrents and weapons of last resort in case of an armed uprising amongst the prisons. It's just that Corvus got to them first and disarmed, rewired, and re-armed them before the people planetside could make use of them for their intended purpose of wiping out all of the prisoners, all of the prison, and most of the peripheral infrastructure. After all, buildings can be rebuilt, and manpower can be replenished, but if any of the rebel-prisoners survive, then they're ideals of revolution will spread, the people planetside will have to deal with a second uprising in the near to immediate future, which will cut into their earnings both in the long and short-term.

[@deathstrike6675]

Honestly the raven guard are very similar to the salamanders. Both look after the citizens of the imperium. Both aid in resistance efforts. Whereas the salamanders burn away everything being extremely effective against orks and their lore shows it.The raven guard particularly kayvaan shrike are familiar with ork incursions and how to deal with them.

[@zilvertron]

Not quite. The Salamanders would fight and sacrifice everything they got to save a single human life, while Raven Guard would weigh in all options and if your death could serve a higher purpose as in saving 100s more, they would calm you down and use you as a Bait for the enemy, or just help you to cause as much damage to the foe as long as you live. So in the end you either have a huge green dude doing everything to save you and wishes to be your friend and give out hugs like crazy, and the other side see you as a pawn in a bigger game and tries to make your death as comfortable as they can giving you peace. Big difference

[@gamechanger8908]

​​​@@zilvertron Which is why he mentioned Kayvaan Shrike. He's an odd one since he gained a reputation of when weighing the options of helping a Guard Reigment for the sake of Glory, and a planet left at their mercy to be trampled by the Orks, he would choose to seek them out to the point he became revered as not just an Angel of Death but an Angel of Deliverance.

[@zilvertron]

@@gamechanger8908 But the problem with that entire story is that it isn't canon, it's a fanfic from Baldemort here on KZbin.If you want to see it for yourself the video is Kayvaan Shrike specific, it's in the first 5 minutes of that video. It's his MO of how he makes his videos, first he makes up a story suitable for the topic before he goes in depth. I think it's a cool story from a fan too, but I'm afraid that's all it is.

If you were to pair the Black Guard with the Death Korps of Krieg, it would be a terrifying army.

As someone who has done their fair share of guard duty at night, sitting in a foxhole staring at basically nothing for HOURS.

Sentry shits their pants and either spends the next two hours white-knuckling their way through their shift or shits their pants and wakes the entire unit up only for "nothing" to be there and have them be ridiculed.
