"The Siege of Vraks Fought by Idiots" | Kip Reacts to RubixRaptor

Fellow Legends, welcome! Today we dive into another epic RubixRaptor video, this time we visit the Siege of Vraks from Warhammer 40K in Arma 3. It's wild to see how Arma 3 still holds up to this day, and the sheer amount of mods that work with the engine. I now very little about 40K lore and haven't really delved into it due to time constraints. But this was nothing short of epic, and I'm sure I'll love learning about the Siege of Vraks one day! If you liked this video as much as I did then I absolutely recommend you go and check out the original video to show some support for the source material!

Yes, they get so, *SO* much bigger than a knight. It's utterly excessive just how big they get, the Imperator class Titan being the largest, coming in at around 492ft (150m) tall at max, with a literal cathedral on it's back, because Emperor

Somehow they’re smaller than Metroplex from transformers ( a random comic said it was 800m tall )

[@darg2902]

the castigator class titan is bigger and more dangerous, but no one knows how to make more.

[@Nelicar]

For me, the easiest way to indicate the size difference between knights and titans is that a knight is operated by a single person while a titan requires a crew.

[@astartesdylan9042]

just see which one is crushing a city and which is crushing a town

[@solarchos4352]

Death Korps medics ARE a thing that make perfect sense. The Death Korps don't want their soldiers dying TOO quickly or needlessly. The ultimate goal is victory in the Emperor's name. HOWEVER, the Quartermasters hold ultimate authority over who gets treatment and how much they get to have. If a soldier is too badly injured to really get better, the Emperor's Benediction is administered and that Guardsman's equipment is salvaged for redistribution.

Something to keep note of, knights and titans arent technically space marines. They are a seperate entity but still imperium so they work with the guard and marines often. And of course chaos knights are a thing

8:27 answering your question if the walking robots get bigger from a knight....YES. Let me put it to this way Kip, the SMALLEST Titan is about the size of optimus prime, maybe slight bigger, the BIGGEST Titan is the emperor class which as tall as two mt everests with the entire vatican on its shoulders.

[@sonofjack6286]

The Siege of Vraks is a perfect example of how some battles in 40k can just snowball out of control. To summarize it as much as I can: Basically a new cardinal in the Scarus sector had dreams of launching a crusade to cleanse the sector of heretics, so he went on a pilgrimage to various worlds, where he drew crowds of thousands, and then millions. Eventually he landed on Vraks, choosing it as a place to prep for the crusade, with about a quarter million or so at least people prepared to become soldiers. The local inquisitors didn't like the cardinal's growing power, so they deployed an assassin to take him out. The assassin failed and Vraks seceded, the Cardinal creating a military junta. He also had a deacon who was secretly a chaos worshipper whispering ideas in his ear. A death korp army was deployed, they take a year to land their forces and prep logistics, and jt takes them six months to open the first trench line. A whole later, the Death Korp reported Astartes amongst the Vraksian defenders, who were eventually identified as Alpha Legion, under Lord Arkos. The Dark Angles deploy forces to capture Arkos. They fail, and effectively destroy the starport, where Arkos's boys had hung out. Eventually the commander, who prefered to stay a sector away from the fighting, ordered a massive requisition of shells, mountains worth, and ordered a week long bombardmen the second defense line. Some sectors of the line were completely wiped out and turned into artillery waste, others held strong. Meanwhile Arkos had been calling for backup, and a large Chaos flotilla came from the Eye of Terror. There had been very diluted chaos wordhip, nothing more than thinking the Khornate and Nurglite runes were symbols of warriorship and life. A half dozen warbands of Khornate marines, a couple Death Guard warbands, and some Black Legion and Iron Warriors were amongst the Chaos astartes. Meanwhile, traitor titans of Legio Vulcanum came too, with their ship doing a belly landing on the surface, with about twenty titans cutting their way out of the hulk. Also there were tens of thousands of Lost and Damned, the catch all term for mortal Chaos soldiers. Now there was full-blown Chaos worship in the streets of the only city on Vraks, with tens of thousands of civilians becoming cultists. The Death Korp got pushed back to the first trench line, the old commander was replaced, amd the second line retaken. The new commander also expanded the war underground, with massive tunnel networks and new barracks deep underground for the troops to keep them safe from artillery. At this point they nanaged to actually get jnto an underground armory, but the troopers sent in were overwhelmed by World Eaters. While this was going on, the Chaos warlords were scheming, namely the warlord Zhufor, of the Skulltakers, a Khornate warband. He killed the Vraksian high command, outsted the cardinal, and became the new commander, while also killing all the Khornate warlords and taking their men as his own, and he had the other warbands pay lip service to him. The Death Guard had also been busy battling the Death Korp forces on the north end with poison gas and chemical weapons, it was bad enough Kriegers had to move around in vehicles to other sections of the northerneastern line, as the sector had become a toxic swamp, with some sentries saying they could see things out in the night, and some guardsman occasionally getting pulled down into the mud. Along comes the Inquisitior Hector Rex, Proctor-General of the Scarus Conclave. He takes over saying that there were omens and tarot's saying that Vraks would become a daemon world unless it was taken soon. This was about sixteen or so years into the siege. Rex calls in Grey Knights, basically the MIB of the Space Marines, to fight the daemons in the northeastern sectors, and they take care of it, but they ask for a second company of their brothers to be sent from Titan, that moon around Jupiter or Saturn. Third wall is breached by this point, and now it's just the Citadel left. Then, when the void shield and defense lasers around the citadels are eventually disabled, the Imperials attack a few times, hoping to take the Citadel, but the first time sees 4 Inquisitors and 150 astartes of the Red Hunters, who were a lapdog chapter of the Inquisition, cut off and killed after a failed droppod assault. The bikgest known one js when Rex leads the attack, with a Khornate greater daemon, a bloodthirster, An'ggrath the Unbound, Guardian of Khorne himself, arrives in the battlefield and fights Rex, and nearly wins but Rex wins due to having a magic sword. The traitors decide Vraks is a lost cause and begin slipping away, Arkos is captured by a Dark Angels chaplain, what was the cardinal is killed when the basilica is cleansed of mutants and other such dregs, and Vraks is deemed as won, but is gonna be under an Inquisitorial blockade and the Kriegers are now an Inquisitorial army. All together, about 14 million guardsmen from the Death Korp, a few hundred space marines, 4 inquisitors, various elite troops, thousands of tanks and AFVs, dozens of aircraft, and about a half dozen warships, are all lost. Meanwhile the Church is angry the basilica was destroyed, since it was dedicated to a badass saint, and the Administratum can't do much with Vraks due to much of its weapons stores being tapped out. This whole thing was supposed ti have been wrapped up in twelve years, it took about nineteen. A year was spent prepping logistical support, six months to breach the first line, a third of the total twelve years were spent outside the second line, and the rest of it and another year or two outside the third, then the Inquisition finishes the last few years of the war.

40k is a deep trench to plunge into, but Astartes is a good crash course on the overwhelming power of space Marines. Plus it was done by a single guy so it's always nice to be in awe of how well it was animated.

[@johnj.spurgin7037]

Lorewise it's optimistic if an entire platoon if not several can kill one space marine, yeah. TBF, each one is decades if not centuries of training and obscenely expensive to produce an maintain, if money was calculated in their creation.

Was also the same session our medic deliberately made one of our guys OD on morphine so we executed him by firing squad.

Just so you know knights are warmechs piloted by a normal human and NOT a space marine The pilot of the knight can actually become part of the knight and become what is known as a freeblade. However that is not an imperial knight, so I'm not sure if it can be a freeblade.

[@matthewcorrie3324]

I love the Death Korps of Krieg because of one reason, while commissars of other guard regiments are there to make sure the guardsman follow orders (usually by shooting those that don't follow the usually suicidal orders) the commissars of Krieg are there to make sure that they don't run into battle and get themselves killed charging an entrenched position with nothing but a shovel.

[@nyxorelius]

The largest Titan class (Imperator) is at 166ft tall and a knight around 29 feet tall

[@Shalltear773]

last I checked, and I could be wrong, the largest walking war machines the Imperium has stands around 492ft or 150 meters and the smallest walkers, the knights, are around 9-12 meters or 29.53ft-39ft I think. don't take my word as gospel. there are many large things in 40k and I can't be expected to remember the sizes for each individual thing.

[@joel9087]

The "smallest" Imperial titan the Scout Titan stands at around 15-20 meters tall and the largest Titan the Imperator can stand at a full 150 meters tall, but my info may be old and incorrect but it's what i've been told about Imperial titans and their sizes.

Yes they get A LOT BIGGER. The most common Titan fielded by the Imperium is the Warlord class which is roughly 108ft tall. Then you get to the true big boys, the Emperor-class Titans being either the Imperator subclass or Warmonger subclass which stand at roughly 182ft tall and have a literal cathedral on their back that is often used by the crew to offer worship to the Omnissiah and the machine spirit of the god-engine itself

Imagine D-Day if the Germans knew the Allies were landing in Normandy and heavily fortify the entire beach, and once those barges land, bombard them with endless artillery and machinegun fire. It took a decade and millions of Imperial Guardsmen, multiple Space Marine chapters, and few elites dead just to retake the entire planet, which resulted in it becoming a desolate wasteland.
