The Sabbat Worlds Crusade! The Invasion Begins! A Billion Imperial Guardsmen March Against Chaos

[@vibechecker3168]

The old twin headed eagle goes screaming into the sabbat worlds, hungry for serpent. Your move, Archon.

[@Deletirium]

I wanted to like this, but you're already at the magic number so...

[@nbkawtgnobody]

We got to get him to 404 or 420 or 666 know

"For the Khan! and that dude on the yellow chair."

[@luisa.acevedo3326]

Another glorious lore dump for my cycling. Six years and counting listening to this glorious lore master.

[@tomaszwota1465]

Also with some new nice animations for us video viewers, though I also mainly listen while doing other things. ;)

[@Red-jb2zj]

I do enjoy when competence is displayed with those in command positions in this setting. I do also like that despite his competence, the callous nature of Imperium bean counting stayed true.

[@ottovonbearsmark8876]

The video isn’t up on the main part of the channel yet, but it’s in the playlist. I feel like I snuck in somewhere lol

[@mpnuorva]

Seeing how your comment is shown 2h older than the video, I must agree.

[@CloudParadox-is1jc]

what is this warp fuckery? tell me you aren't tainted by chaos.. INQUISITORRRR over here!!

[@gorvarhadgarson5227]

Cadian guardsman: Three months we've been here...and I've lost the will to live. Squad: Even the Krieger does nae want ta charge in anymore... Krieger: (tired gas mask noises) Suddenly all look up as a distant buzzing noise gets louder. Soon enough white motorbikes driven by whooping space marines chanting drive past, ignoring the traps sprung over no-man's land. Cadia: ...And there they go. Squat: They'll forget ta thank us later. Tech priest: Certainty of 99.99 percent. Krieger: (slams his head on a rock)

[@King.Leonidas]

three months for a Krieger is nothing. but it sounds like that one has a nack for surviving might become a officer

[@TheNeoDaedalus]

The White Scars win a decisive victory and the fleet performs an impressive feigned retreat. A good day to be a fan of the Khagan.

[@elysiankentarchy1531]

Truly, this is shaping up to be your best work yet, Loremaster.

[@gamerleal9265]

Me at the end of each Arch video: "Thanks Arch"

[@greentmlightedition525]

Now that’s a thumbnail, got me hyped!

[@beevis690]

I really like the new backround animation.

[@colinscutt5104]

yeah 16bit arch is kinda cool

[@702Jamy]

It gives it the that sorta retro grim feel like Boltgun, it's a neat style and I can't wait to see it

[@curbnug3487]

Thanks for the fix Arch, I'm back on the dragon. 😂😂

[@seelenverkaufer4861]

Thanks Arch. Your time and effort in these videos are greatly appreciated for a little escapism.

[@Jthomsonhate7]

That ending was some of your best work to date arch. I've got goosebumps itching with anticipation.

[@Filmmaster91]

The artwork suggests there were a surprising number of Primaris marines involved in the Sabbat Worlds Crusade…

[@chesterbonaparte6787]

That's weird, you spelt adeptus Astartes wrong. Dunno what a primaris is, some kinda autocorrect I assume. It's a silly word. Can't be real.

[@cjv-x10a4]

20:07 "The Sacred Face" tip off Chaos!😱

[@victortang7610]

One of my favourite Imperial Crusades! Thank you so much for making this Arch!

[@DragonfameDracas]

Wait, Lucius? As in the world that made the lasgun pattern used by the Kriegers? And the Imperium/Krieg considered this expendable on top of not sending a sizeable gathering of Kriegers to help liberate the world?

[@nanovox9418]

Not sure of the time frame, but kreig might have been "lost" at this time, plus a "simple" laz gun stc pattern would've been distributed to many forge worlds including krieg itself

[@SgtGigawattz]

Also depends on when the lore was made. Much of the deeper details of the Death Korps of Krieg wasn't hashed out until a *LONG* time after the Sabbat Crusade was already firmly established. I'm pretty sure when the Sabbat Crusade was mostly established the DKoK was still but a single page in a White Dwarf magazine as a one-off conversion for Steel Legion.

[@Jaegerrants]

Different planet, Forge world Lucius in in segmentum obscurus to galactic north, sabbat worlds and in pacificus to galactic west. And Krieg was operational since late 40M.

[@cnlbenmc]

There is probably numerous planet's that share a name in the 40k Milky Way Galaxy despite undoubtedly there being an Administratum department entirely dedicated to making sure it Doesn't happen.

[@Jaegerrants]

Rule 1 of 40k: the main Chaos commander will always be an unparalleled genius able to outmaneuver anything coming at him or an attacker able to effortlessly disable or sidestep any defense no matter who they are attacking

[@broadwater5218]

Thankyou arch, your work is greatly appreciated

[@Ninjahbutter]

Yesssss! This is as good as the Badab War series. Which I've listened to more than a few times. If you haven't seen it I highly suggest it.

[@gasmonkey1000]

Sons of Jaghatai impossible challenge! Don't be absolute chads among chads! Challenge level: IMPOSSIBLE!

[@MrAnameforme]

I truly enjoy these longer video series you do. Keep up the great work

[@silenthunter5074]

Damn Arch I thought you'd had difficulty uploading this and now I only just get the notification and see comments in here from yesterday!? The inquisition will have to get called for this 😂

[@rogerbrownreacts8528]

Creators can schedule a upload for release at a certain time. He picked Prime Time Friday in the US.

[@bliblivion]

The quality of the edit on this series is excellent

[@allisvanity2273]

All hail the Venerable Loremaster!!!

[@YOUPIMatin123]

Can we have a video loop of just the background music? Its awesome

[@desperado3236]

Really enjoying this series so far. Great work arch my man. I figured it would take you longer to release this but seems you've outdone yourself.

[@Alcarinque2580]

By all means. Your campaign lore series are top notch! Thank you for all of them. Best regards a long time fan

[@chesterbonaparte6787]

Absolute autism level of enjoyment.

[@KonnyKhaos]

Thank you Arch! Keep em comin!

[@Scottii_Mii]

I am yours Sir, ye are blood of my blood and bone of my bone.

loving the new background, arch! Keep up the lore

[@elysiankentarchy1531]

Bravo Cybon. Bravo!

[@The_Natalist]

FIX THE PLAYLIST PLEASE

[@jenshaaland7211]

Hei Arch! Innmari kult å se at du er i gang med en ny serie! Elsket de andre du har laget og hvordan du ofte la inn referanser til moderne krigføring. Ser frem til flere episoder! For øvrig, er du kjent med Harald Høiback? Han lager gode fremstillinger på norsk av militærhistorie og jeg tror du hadde viba med ham.

[@MrPlainsflyer]

It's a good Friday when the loremaster speaks!!

[@davidmiller1354]

You are the man.....keeping the lore on point!

[@TsunTzu]

This spritework background reminds me so much of the X-Wing/TIE Fighter series, I swear.

Thanks for these videos

Bravo, this may yet be your new crown jewel! Onwards with the lore!

[@chesterbonaparte6787]

A reminder to all that whilst waiting for next week, there is always vraks.. and badab.

[@cjv-x10a4]

17:11. It's a little perplexing seeing Arch using art works of Primaris White Scars.🤨 Or is it just similar helmets?

[@Jaegerrants]

I am pretty sure that collar exists only in Primaris armour. I see two options, first a oversight and just using representative art or Arch made an oopsie, can't blame his usual etourage this time :D.

[@GeordieSwordsman]

@@Jaegerrants It's a MkVIII Errant chestplate. Primaris use MkX Tacticus.

[@tereninsecundus6084]

White Scars have terribly little art of them as it is, so using some of their newer art is understandable simply because most 40K fans have seen the rest countless times by now. They need a LOT more love and yet sadly most new art that's ever coming out of them is likely to be very primaris-oriented...

[@cjv-x10a4]

@@tereninsecundus6084 At least they aren't as neglected at the Iron Hands. Oh, the poor Iron Hands.😢

[@Jaegerrants]

@@GeordieSwordsman Had to look up the old schematics, but Errant had the "regular" helmet, those collar+helmet combos indicate Primaris. But I have to give it to you I had completely forgoten that model.

[@ornu01]

The Sacred Face, is apparently a real location.

[@horseface31]

Just what I needed.

[@OrangeAmped]

Use of primaris White Scar art is funny. Good video!

Nice video !

[@SMAXZO]

[@Balrog4242]

Great vid! I think you mean "morale victory", like "More Albert" ;)

[@cyberpunkfalangist2899]

Hey arch can I suggest a video topic? I want to know more about imperial military intelligence.

[@nickpheonixify]

I have always wondered how the great enemy get enough ships to fight against the empire. I know I they steal and modify ships but it's never explained how this manages to get them enough to outnumber a crusade level fleet. I don't see the imperials losing two ships for every one they have and I would think most ships would destroy themselves before being captured. Logistics should be the main thing breaking any chaos forces knees.

[@nairpic7360]

The Eye of Terrors contains an innumerable amount of Chaos worlds, including possibly thousands of Heretech Forge Worlds.

[@austinguthrie5528]

Taking my time going through this series, keeping that passive excitement while I await the drop of Space Marine 2. What are your thoughts on SM2 so far? Does it get that Arch approval?

These amazing lore videos are so great and makes you realize what GW could do it they cared and were not ruled by share holders and money.

The playlist for the series in not in order.

Crusades are as much a political movement as much as a military one. Thanks for the video.

[@jezzofprezz5207]

Praise the God Emperor for Inquisitor Arch had produced another log!

[@Marinealver]

Maybe he should have went with the single spearhead thrust. 2nd and 3rd fleets were unopposed, if they were with the 1st then the White Scars wouldn't be needed.

[@kronos661]

Hindsight is 20/20.

[@irontemplar6222]

Ehhh doubtful. It's not that he lacked in manpower. The first fleet was the best equipped and largest. And ultimately the front on the planet wasn't that big their simply wouldn't be room for them. No, they needed better troops if they wanted it don't early.

[@frankfrankerson782]

Can't wait until we get to Heritor Asphodel and his titan comparable mobile pyramid fortress.

[@BildoShaggens]

Arch, I kinda mis the old background versus the new, more active one. The old one just had more gravitas.

[@youngthinker1]

Does the Imperium even perform a wargame against chaos cultists? Do they have computer models for a typical chaotic general from space marine down to standard man? Is this considered heretical, so the armies march forward with half formed plans under religious dogma justifying suicidal actions?

[@elysiankentarchy1531]

To be fair, a lot of Chaotic commanders are completely insane and, when you bring in warp nonsense, it is almost as pointless to wargame against Chaos as it is against the orks because the rule book gets thrown out the window. As for common cultists, their insanity often means just they just run at your machine gun emplacements in the hopes of beating you with pure numbers.

[@elysiankentarchy1531]

To be fair, many Chaos worshipers are absolutely insane and that is hard to wargame against.

[@youngthinker1]

@@elysiankentarchy1531 Even within chaos, there is an order to it. Chaos makes more chaos in the short term. Order does come about long term after chaos burns itself out. So, each chaos leader has some order built into his actions, in order to, create more chaos.

[@elysiankentarchy1531]

​@youngthinker1, be that as it may, we are still dealing with insanity and the power to corrupt reality through sorcery and warp portals which makes things like rules, order, and the laws of reality more suggestions than anything else. I would say the only group it is more pointless to wargame against is the orks because they break all the rules on a whim while Chaos still has a few rules.

[@stevepalpatine2828]

"What the Guard had failed to do in 3 weeks, the Astartes did in 3 days" This among other examples, is why the Codex Astartes and the breaking of the Legions was a mistake. The Astartes should have remained the frontline troops of the Imperium. It would arguably never have gotten as bad as it has if Guilliman didn't over react by breaking up the Legions, a mistake he seems to have recognized since the Indomitus Crusade. Theres a reason the Emperor created the Astartes. The Legiones Astartes was simply capable of doing things the Adeptus is too small and weak to do, and the Guard utterly unsuited for. The Emperor made the Legions because he recognized that unaltered humans are simply not up to the task of going on the offensive against humanities threats. They did well holding the line for 10k years, but to push the line back, the Legions need to be reformed.

[@antler6361]

The Astartes operating here are Primaris?
