The funniest part about the Dawnblade extending Farsight's lifespan is that he was already like 90 years old when he found it. there's a scene in the book where his personal physician tries to give him the "you're too old for this, you should retire already." speach before he gets the sword, and then at the end of the book he has another check-up and the doctor is like "wtf you're physically like 40 years old what the hell HAPPENED!?!"

[@jackpfefferkorn3734]

There's a big difference between 12 hours and 4 years

[@VelociraptorsOfSkyrim]

​@jackpfefferkorn3734 That's 12 hours for a single model. In a game that, depending on the faction, can easily have 100+ models in an army. To add on top that, DK is involved in at least 3 Podcasts (AdRic, Realm of Ridiculous, and at least one other podcast on another channel) _and_ I believe he streams, yeah, I can see it being slow going. This doesn't even add in to the possibility of new T-sons models DK might have added to his army .

[@MehnixIsThatGuy]

For me the silliest weapon came somewhat recently, One time Angron was in the warp fighting, and some Slaaneshi Daemon takes the piss out of him real bad, so, being Angron, he grabs the nearest lump of raw iron he finds and beats the daemon up. And keeps going. And keeps going. And keeps going until the Daemon is literally just a smear so fine and pasted that its daemon essence gets absorbed into the raw lump of iron. That lump of iron begins looking real sword shaped as Angron keeps on hitting. Eventually it becomes his current sword Samni'arius. His other weapon, Spinegrinder, also known as Persiax's Folly, named after the world that gave the axe to him, and whom he immediately killed because they spent time doing boring cringe things like making weapons the traditional way rather than cool based things like murder. Angron would know, he just makes his weapons by murdering and it goes alright for him.

[@KillerOrca]

In "Master of Mankind" we see a vision of a human beating another with a rock (Guess which bible tale) and Drach'nyen appears in the Warp right after so it's definitely the first human murder. More thematically appropriate for one of humanity's original misdeeds to be its undoing.

[@briankuczynski6884]

I'm with Bricky on drach'nyen. 40k has so many magic maguffins [such that you made this episode about Just The Weapons!] that you don't lose anything from having a relatively complete description for one of them. Also, it gives a storytelling pattern for fans to apply to their own homebrews or headcanons of other artifacts. most importantly, it retains it's magic by being a very funny mtg card for rakdos-inclusive EDH decks!

I really want these guys to listen to Titandeath after they finish Horus Rising. Its an enjoyable read and its a pretty good view at both loyalist and traitor titan legions. In particular, there is a scene I desperately want to be animated, where a Reaver Titan has to travel underwater to find a lost titan, only to rise in the ruins of a Hive CIty and find that all the bodies had drifted there. The image of the titan rising out of a sea of corpses in the ruins of a city goes hard.

[@wombataldebaran9686]

In a world like the universe of 40k, magic and the ethereal powers of the warp permeate through everything on some level. Every rock and every tree has at least some amount of background field of unreality. The normal sword is exactly this, a normal sword. It is entirely unmagical, which in a way makes it more real than anything around it. And since it is more real than the stone wall in front of it, it can cut through it with ease.

Some actually from a fan of the channel and fan of grey knights. 1. Crowe is not the first one to have Antwyr at his possession. The novel Warden of the blade shows us his predecessors, also a purifiers, but who would not use the blade. 2. Crowe uses the blade because he seems to be more resistant than he was suppose to and because he believe he is punishing the deamon inside of the blade, by using it as a mere tool. He is right was the deamon is constantly in agony because of it. 3. The stats of the blade in table top are just the same as regular nemesis force weapons, plus devastating wounds. This extra perk could be due to crowes mastery with blades. Therefore, no power of the blase is used 4. On that note, it’s totally weird how the official model for Crowe has some purple devilish smoke coming out of it. That suggests him using its power. My Crowe have been painting with pure flames of the emperor as it was suppose to 😌

Adric was SPOT ON, with ork """""""relics"""""" and I that's part of why they're the best faction, in I think Fantasy, Grimgore Ironhides favorite choppa was called "Git Snik" IIRC, it wasnt magical or anything, just "sniks gits reall gud"

28:04 - She's also Kimiko from 'The Boys', and Glimmer from 'She-Ra and the Princesses of Power'

If you want movie/pop culture references, the Cain books are full of 'em. In the second book, Cain finds a smear of blood on the ground and he says "It bleeds. And if it bleeds, we can kill it." Later in the book, he declares "We have to call in the Navy to sterilise the whole site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure." Other references are much more British, like a veterinarian character named Ariott or a squad of local defence volunteers under Corporal Manrin.

An idea: a group of Chaos Demons who represent the good side of the Warp and rebel against their masters for the sake of realspace. Like, this is the grimdark future, so you gotta, like, do something horrible before you do this, but, just imagine, like... ... What was the name of the Aeldari Goddess of Healing? Isha? Imagine her gathering together daemons who represent the best of their individual circles. Khornite demons of Honesty, Tzeenchian Demons of Understanding, Slaaneshi Demons of Experience, Nurglian Demons of Love. Then these demonic presences latch themselves onto humans and eldar, and they're all like "WHY ARE YOU CORRUPTING ME!?" and the demon is all like "I AM TRYING TO HELP, DO YOU WANT INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO OPERATE MICROSOFT WORD!?"

Chronometric metal sounds like that sword might be a Hrud thing.

I don't know why, but somehow I got it into my head that the Dawnblade was one of the 99 Swords of Vaul. I used to think it was one of the five Swords of Moraigh-Haigh, but, those all seem to generally be accounted for, if only for location in case of one. Edit: In that wet fart of an Ultramarine movie a ways back, they actually had a scene of a space marine etching the body of a bolter round, and later on, showed that same round in slow motion doing what it does best in a battle.

51:30 how about corvus corax? Raven Raven the primarch of raven lord of the Raven guard. Whose name is literally the scientific name for the common raven

[@magnus0017]

Can we please get a Todd Horkward "It Just Works" meme poster showing off whatever ork gun you feel like showing?

[@kaelbeuk1]

Fun episode, but it could do with more contraints, so we have the impression to have delved deep in a subject instead of scratching the surface of several. Like, famous spacemarine swords, or weird wacky grenades, or daemon weapons, or movie references... Now I just want an episode on weird holy weapons and relics of the Inquisition

RE: the first grot bomb, there's a siege engine in Warhammer Fantasy called the Goblin Doom Diver, and it's basically the medeival tech version of the grot bomb. A goblin straps on a set of glider wings and then is fired out of a giant slingshot, then does his best to steer himself into an enemy troop formation.

And in Total War, you can actually take manual control of the missile.

Team 17 (which is a British games developer/publisher) also put the holy hand grenade into the worms games, think it was introduced in the expansion pack for the original game and has been in every other game since!

Didn't Kharn the Betrayer have this Relic of Technology that is just a kill counter on his HUD?.
