[@niolelo]

The space wolves successor chapter the wolf brothers making their own super space marines before primaris marines that made Bjorn sad 'if magnus didn't deal with them I would have'

[@jaanikaapa6925]

Fun fact about the Mentors is that they're based on either the British SAS or the US Green Berets (A-Team). They do not fight normally, but instigate and help uprisings, train troops and so on. Basically if you need an exceptionally good army, you get a Mentor to help. I believe it was 4 brothers at most they send.

[@NateCreed07]

Makes sense

[@pasqualeprota185]

Yeah they sent a couple of them in Italy for operation gladio in order to train a bunch of fascist terrorists who killed a shit load of people through terrorist attacks

[@TimJohniLL]

I think green berets are more hands on. I got the notion they were what Vietnam “US advisors” supposedly were (at the time. Hindsight shows it was much more than just advising and assisting at the top etc but just the idea sounded akin to a single space marine not being ABLE to do anything other than advise! :)

[@jaanikaapa6925]

@@TimJohniLL The Vietnam advisors were from many branches, but the one you're thinking is the MACV SOG, a CIA unit. One of the best known advising and aid missions was the Viking Hammer during Iraq 2. They were able to uptrain Kurdish fighters (also this mission is the reason why high speeds have beards: no beard = child. They had to grow beards to be culturally taken seriously). They attacked an Al Qaeda stronghold and found a sarin manufacturing lab and plant. This is what the Mentors seem to do. Liaise, advise and train. They will accompany the troops too, but they're more of a sekrit squirrel type deal. Something that Cawl has turned his Emperor's Scythes (I think that's the chapter that accompany him everywhere) into.

[@LexYeen]

Get those sponsorships, Bonelad. Edit: I'd call CanCon laws blocking the Warhammer app a blessing in disguise, my guy.

[@ChaoticTabris]

One interesting thing about GW losing the D&D license is that Gary Gygax wanted to adquire GW to turn it into a UK division of TSR. There were actually mutual talks about it but ultimately this didn't work out. As a result they lost the license and Gygax founded a TSR UK division lead by I guy that used to work at GW. Another interesting fact is that back when they still had the license White Dwarf had this section in which they would publish the best monsters sent by reader that month under the condition TSR had full rights on the monsters themselves. The best monsters White Dwarf published would eventually be compiled into a book called Fiend Folio. This means that several iconic D&D monsters and races were originally published in White Dwarf with the Githyanki probably being the most iconic.

[@sheilasherret9596]

Bonus 8th fun fact: Allegedly, gw customer service cited Quebec law bill 96 as the reason the app is blocked in Canada, not Cancon. Bill 96 states that all commerical products available in Quebec must be allowed in French. The GW customer service representative stated that because they can't just block it in Quebec, all of Canada needed to be blocked. I guess either the cost of translation was too high, or the CanCon rules would still apply and GW simply wanted us to be mad at Quebec. Edit: all commercial, not all digital. That's why the ban only came up with the paywall.

[@sheilasherret9596]

After doing a little dive into Canadian online broadcasting laws, I think Arthur is just straight up wrong. Online streaming services that make over $10m Canadian dollars must prioritize their Canadian content without using algorithms. There was no mention of a quota for Canadian content at all. A Warhammer plus subscription would probably be priced at $8-9 a month, based off of conversion from the British and American prices. Even if we rounded up to $10/month because maple tax, there would need to be over 10k people who play 40k, but are willing to pay GW $10/month to use a service that used to be free. Edit: mistook monthly price for yearly, my bad.

[@invictarussuzerain]

Another fun fact: Billie Piper (David Tenant’s companion) narrates the AOS kids books. Tennant only narrates the 40K ones.

[@duskdripman9865]

Oh!! One fact i really love! (And the way i got into warhammer in the first place) Basically in the early days of rogue trader and second edition of 40k, Games Workshop let bands make music about the IP. Most glaring examples are 2 albums: D-Rok - Oblivion, wich has one song starring Brian May (Yk?? The guitarist from QUEEN??). The songs have also been used in the game Boltgun as OST. Second example, and my favourite, is Bolt Thrower - Realm of Chaos, a death metal album all about the grimdarkness of the far future. Yeahh theres been some copyright issues years later, but goddamn as a metalhead do i love this album

Hey, great vid, as usual! So, I always assumed CanCon is the reason behind no Warhammer+ here in Canadaland. But, also, I understand it's also because there are no French options provided, either. I could be wrong about this, but my source is someone in ze industry. (Not that this is an end all be all, of course.) Also, fun fact: White Dwarf used to do Fiend Factory, which were AD&D monsters etc, which is where the super-lifted-from-GRRM Githyanki first appeared. This led to the Fiend Folio book from TSR in 1981. And, apparently, it was a total shitshow between TSR and GW at the time, which is one of the many things that led to Warhammer. Of course, I'm compiling all sorts of accounts, and I think Warhammer would have been a thing, regardless. Just a neat little D&D/GW hybrid factoid thing. On a personal note: As an American immigrant to Canada (nearly 20 years, so I'm one of you, hey?), I always found CanCon laws interesting. Especially since I work in film and music. But at least it solves the mystery as to why Gowan has a fanbase.
