I started using Valhallans in Kill Team because I liked their residtance to Shaken and Broken. Now I am collecting them to make a 2K 40K army as I want my vehicle centric lists to retain their functionality longer.

[@HaloFTW55]

I guess they shout “For -Comrade- Emperor and -Motherland- Valhalla!”

[@forgefathervulkanhestan18]

Basically a METRO 2033 reference minus the radiation. Awesome!!

[@dante001ish]

You could say their as cold as ice, their willing to sacrifice......sorry.

[@willrogers3793]

I do like the Valhallans quite a bit. As colorful a character as he is, Ciaphas Cain’s numerous misadventures wouldn’t be quite as entertaining without Colonel Kasteen, Broklaw, Sulla, and of course the ever-reliable and malodorous Jurgen. They make me think of the Death Korps, if the Death Korps had a dry sense of humor instead of an overly fatalistic mindset. Or, you know, the Red Army without the vodka. Just as a side-note, I find it a bit ironic that their home world is named Valhalla, considering that it bears a closer resemblance to the realm of Hel. :D

[@jakedustin5177]

Great video again! Love your lore videos!

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Thank you.

[@fumarc4501]

My all time favorites.

[@gagaplex]

Nice! I just hope one of the future videos about them also tackles Gunner Ferik Jurgen.

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Probably not him directly, but I will make a Commissar Cain video/s someday.

[@gagaplex]

@@GrimDarkNarrator That... will be glorious. I'm currently reading the third omnibus that was recently released; it features their time with the Reclaimers chapter, among other things.

[@phantomeye5199]

6:23 Valhallan Ice Warriors are part of Imperial Guard, right? I mean they look like Russian troops in cold war.

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Yes, they are part of the Guard.

[@HaloFTW55]

They seem to be based off the Soviet Army that fought in the Battle of Stalingrad.

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

That's probably true.

[@steveblackwell5494]

You have to respect the ice Warriors for battling but cold weather I couldn't see joining that regiment too cold just too cold

[@Advo42069]

appropriate video at the appropriate time I live in Texas and it's freezing here

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

I thought Texas was supposed to be a hot place :|

[@HaloFTW55]

I’m in Canada... think of how I feel.

[@willrogers3793]

GrimDark Narrator, it is a hot place. “Freezing” by Texas standards, means it’s cool enough that you need to wear a long sleeved shirt instead of a tank-top.

[@Advo42069]

Will Rogers at the time we were at about 10 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit which is very cold for Texas

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

I think I'd rather be there atm. Winter here.

[@johnson8276]

Red Army meets Space colorized

[@Advo42069]

Hello there my fellow popsicle friends.

[@phantomeye5199]

Popsicle are tasty to get freeze the juice and stick on the top.

[@Advo42069]

I can almost hear GN saying this.

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

I will definitely say that in the next episode :D

[@JohnDarksoul98]

Warhammer 40000 Russians... *Cannon fodder even comparing to other cannon fodder!*

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Valhallans are more like the Finnish or Swedish. Russians are Vostroyans.
