[@laurenbastin8849]

I got properly into the game around 7th, and I still remember the sheer excitement I felt around the Fall of Cadia and Return of Guilliman… it was if anything bolstered by the fact that the timeline had been so static at that point, especially since the Horus Heresy had been doing so much to flesh out 30K and give it a sense of an arc that 40K was lacking. Magnus getting a model and showing up in War Zone Fenris was exciting, but felt more like an extension of what we already knew had been going on in the background with the daemon primarchs, but Guilliman’s awakening was so exciting in part because it had kinda come out of nowhere, albeit in a fairly straightforward manner. As much as end times was hugely unpopular for fantasy, and many elements of Gathering Storm seemed a bit rushed even at the time, the sheer sense of curiosity and wonder a primarch in 40K sparked in me was enough to drown out any reservations I had. And then those trailers for 8th! Johnathan Keeble’s narration on the Indomitus Crusade trailer still gives me chills, and is still the voice I imagine whenever I read anything said by Guilliman. The art of him matching the pose of the Emperor’s declaration of the GC was the cherry on top, as were all the exquisitely disgusting death guard models we got alongside the Primaris. Hell, much as I understand the reason why GW scaled back the 100 year time jump, even that felt like a pretty bold declaration of intent that made it clear things were gonna keep moving forward.

[@SC1ENCEP1E]

I feel like a pariah myself but I'm honestly a big fan of the post Gathering Storm lore. Although some of the Dawn of Fire books have been dreadful.

And let's not forget the formation of Battle-Groups, which are _definitely not Legions_ !

[@bruno17289]

I read the books, and to be fair his heart is in the right place. Also I do find it hilarious how everyone sees through this, but are you going to tell the 10 feet tall blue Jesus that pull an entire army out of his ass he is ignoring the Codex astartes that he wrote, also as he politely tells you how is not the same thing, a bunch of Ultramarines are glaring at you and making fists while he is not looking.

[@cyrusserapheth9555]

TBF, the Codex Astartes was meant for the Post-Heresy Imperium that didn't really need to deploy full Legions anymore. Catastrophes on the scale of the galaxy getting cut in half, plunging tens of thousands of worlds into a new Age of Strife, was probably not considered when drafting the Codex.

[@Michael_Raymond]

@ I’d say that’s a good argument except that Gorillaman was mainly trying to prevent the HH from repeating.

[@silenthero2795]

Guilliman later realizes that having hundreds of thousands of Astartes in one giant fleet is very ineffective compared to smaller fleets with a couple of hundreds Astartes. They could cover more ground and help more people. Back then, a Legion would send thousands of Astartes to a battle that doesn't really need them there but just a show of force.

[@Sutehp]

40:34 Incidentally, the ninth Indomitus Crusade fleet is known as Fleet Novem. There's a Shout-Out to Star Trek: Deep Space Nine in one of the Ciaphas Cain novels when Aberley Vail meets up with Orelius at void station Delta Sigma Novem. (Remember that November was originally the ninth month.)

Hello, Ian i've been enjoying your Warhammer 40k lore videos thus far. Say can you please do a video covering in full detail of the Sabbat Worlds Crusade from 755.M41 to 791.M41. It's was the conflict used as the backdrop for Dan Abnett's Gaunt's Ghost series of novels featuring the exploits of the Tanith First and only during the Sabbat Worlds Crusade. So could you please do a video covering the Sabbat Worlds Crusade like you did with other famous 40k battles and campaigns like the Siege of Vraks and the Badab War? Because i enjoyed those videos of yours Ian. It got me invested into the history and lore of 40k. Anyways thank you for reading this comment of mine, just a suggestion that's all.

[@Bluecho4]

I have a feeling Guilliman knows the Imperium is doomed. He's just not willing to let it go quietly. Marshaling out to take the fight to the enemy has a higher chance of at least stabilizing the situation. But he has little hope of actually saving the Imperium. It's just that doing nothing would be even worse.

[@bradypus55]

"The factions that aren't humans are probably doing stuff too" is one of the reasons why I am sometime discouraged in checking out recent story progression in 40k. There was so much potential in the Indomitus crusade for xenos factions to swoop in and be a reminder to guilliman there are other threats, some that he wasn't even aware are a thing now that he is resurrected, that is blocking his plan to rebuild the imperium. And I'm not just talking about the orks. Like the Tau and the Genestealer cults weren't a thing when he was alive! What are even his thoughts on them?

[@ExValeFor]

Yeah nah they're not chaos so they don't actually exist. At least that's GW logic for you

[@vdate]

I feel like his first thought on at least one of those is 'what the fuck is a Tau?'

According to Guy Hayley on Twitter the Dawn of Fire series and Guilliman going to the Pariah Nexus happens before the Plague Wars with the reason he left the Nexus being to go to Ultramar to deal with mortarion. After the Dark imperium trilogy then Guilliman went to Baal and bellisarius Cawl two novels took place before he went to the pariah nexus. Supposedly Guilliman is now going back to the pariah nexus as it’s turning into a bigger mess with Vashtorr showing up but that won’t be the focus of the final Dawn of Fire book just his initial venture in

Of all the stories surrounding the torchbearer fleets there is only one that makes me sad and that is the story of the Brazen Drakes. Even by the standards of the imperium, it was totally needless 😢 Great vid Arbitor Ian, I do like these longform Vids that you do 🙂

[@Surrogate_Gaia]

Are the events of Baal really happening during the Crusade? The way everything is structured kind of implies that Guilliman arrived to Baal after the Plague Wars, especially since his sights were put to breaching the Rift later on. The entire timeline is very confusing, and I don't know if his visit to Baal is mentioned somewhere in the Dawn of Fire series. Anyone have a clue?

[@gingerlicious3500]

Yep. The creation of the Great Rift made it so time flowed very differently in Imperium Nihlius than it did in the rest of the galaxy. So all that happened before Guilliman made it to Baal, even though the Battle of Baal started before Cadia fell.

[@singtothesilence]

Yeah, Devestation of Baal mentions that the formation of the Great Rift catapulted Baal (and the rest of its' sector) through a 70-year time-skip.

Ian just undertook a task almost as daunting as the one faced by The Primarch upon his return

[@Astuar]

I'm still quite confused. I thought armies of millions and billions of soldiers were required for a confined campaign like Sabbat War for example. Which means thousands of ships. For a localized event on galactic scale. Battlegroup with 4 Battleships 12 cruisers and couple dozen regiments? That's couple dozen thousands of people which is nothing. I assume that is not enough to capture a hive, not to mention whole subsectors. Scale in Warhammer 40k is very inconsistent.

[@gawkthimm6030]

"Scale in Warhammer 40k is very inconsistent" -yes. its a joke by now in the 40klore community, but you have to see it in a Narrative story sense, not with a logical mind. a lot of 40klore guys take all details with many grains of salt, fully embracing the "unreliable narrator" trope or "its just in-world Imperial Probaganda exaggeration"...

[@singtothesilence]

How about this exercise in backfilling headcanon: - Certain parts of the galaxy are naturally closer to the Warp than others (this is a spacey version of urban fantasy's "veil between worlds" trope) - During the War in Heaven, some of these regions were locked down to a greater or lesser extent by the Necrontyr - After the War, this region comes to be settled by the Eldar as the core of their empire. As quasi-immortal beings capable of reincarnation who "basked in the light of the sea of souls" [citation VERY MUCH needed], their frequent use of the area weakened the veil, despite the presence of the Blackstone network, and maybe even in spite of it (seems a suitably hubristic Eldar move) - ALTERNATIVELY, the Eldar live elsewhere/around the Webway for most of history, but keep the dead region covered by the network as a galaxy-scale safe zone in case of Warp fuckery. Then, when the Warp storms of the Age of Strife kick off, the Eldar go to ground in that part of space, which just so happens to strain the fabric of the network - (I quite like the idea that the Eldar could see their doom but not how to stop it, so their Fall was at least in part a self-fulfilling prophecy - keeps in line with 40k's mythological roots and also themes of the futility of futuresight in the Heresy novels) - Whatever the case, the birth of Slaanesh/the Fall happens, punching a great big hole in realspace and taking out the majority of the network, leaving only a few nodes intact. - These are then methodically destroyed over the next few millenia by Abaddon. That all hang together?

Just a sec.. The Fall of the Eldar happens at the end of the Age of Strife, right?

Did the Necrons build these blackstone artefacts millions of years ago because they foresaw all this???

[@ArbitorIan]

EXACTLY. Maybe. I think the current idea is that the area that became eye was always a bit of a warpy weak spot or centre of Old One power so it just happens the necrons built lots of blackstone stufff there. But that's definitely a dodgy theory.

[@helios7170]

@@ArbitorIan (Hi Ian! I love your videos, massive fan and long time lore fan) The Eye is meant to be the location of the original Eldar home worlds. If the Eldar fought the Necrons at the behest of the Old Ones *millions* of years ago then why didn’t they know their space had been surrounded by these blackstone pylons which inhibit warp energy? Their entire empire is warp sensitive and prescient to boot. You’d think they would notice that their homeworlds had been surrounded by a force which inhibited their access to the warp.

hey man, enjoying the video but just a criticism here, (don't know if it bothers anyone else, so maybe its worthy to see if its just a personal dislike , or that most viewers dislike too and therefore maybe worthy of taking note). In most of the video you are placing txt on the screen that you aren't reading, and i instinctively try to read this txt, however it isn't what you are saying, leading to me get really quite frustrated. either pausing the video to read what is on the screen. or looking away from it altogether, (i read with an internal voice, so very hard to read and listen at the same time).
