“Even Jürgen was being flirted with outrageously, which struck me as truly bizarre. The only female I’d ever known to take a romantic interest in him before, was an Ogryn on R&R and she’d been drunk at the time.” - one of the best lines I've ever heard and it's based in the Grimdark of the far future.
That fact that Ogryn's get R&R is so wholesome in this universe lol. I wonder who would regret it more in the morning? Jurgen when he got a good look at her in the sunlight or the Ogryn when she got a wiff of him.
"I prefer Blondes" is such an amazing line. I lost my shit. I fucking love Cain and I probably spend way too much time thinking about him. My take away is that Cain is not a coward and only portrays himself that way due to a sort of survivor's guilt. Anyways, great job as always.
I think my favorite when he kills another Slaaneshi Sorceress later is "Impersonating an Inquisitor is a capital offense." And the look of shock on the woman's face as she dies is hilarious.
This guy survival instinct is just insane. Breaks of the temptations influence of Slaanesh follower can’t be a easy thing to do for normal humans. But I do love the “If it’s too good to be true” part because it’s is kind of true.
Cain is just such a treasure, he's 40k's most relatable character, just a dude with imposter syndrome trying to survive the madness of the far future He's a commissar but he didn't get a choice, nobody who goes to the schola does, you either adapt or die/enslaved for worse duties than being a stormtrooper, commissar, scribe etc. Cain didn't choose his line of work But my god did he choose how to navigate it And who hasn't told a lie or two to make your career a little easier eh?
Two of my favorite characters in 40k (that are human) is Ciaphas Cain and Sabastian Yarrick. I always thought if they ever met it would be like a buddy cop comedy with Yarrick grizzled old veteran and Cain charismatic up start.
Cain is a prime example of "failing upwards". In life sometimes people with the best intent & character work hard on their goals but fail and sometimes people with selfish motives & questionable judgement make it without trying, truly a great cosmic comedy with a lot of tragedy we all live in :'D
@@DanSherryOfTheTon major imposter syndrome too. The only time he freaks out and panics for others to see is against Necrons, whom he definitely has mad PTSD from
@@DanSherryOfTheTon I don't think it's humor, I think he is either spinning this fake persona where he's a secret scumbag for some reason, or his mind retroactively rewrites the events to make him look worse to himself. His actions don't make any sense half the time if he's the coward he's pretending to be.
@@clintbustwood4800 i mean, if I was one of the only survivors against some necrons when everyone else was space marines and I had 3 fingers cut off by a necrons bayonette, I'd also have some serious PTSD
@@ghouldave862shit, I have PTSD from being shot at by humans with normal guns. Immortal skeleton alien robots that disintegrate people? I'd probably be an absolute wreck of a human being lol
I half-expected there to be some kind of Grail-shaped _beacon_ on this "School"... of course- Ciaphus is hardly the Sir Galahad type! ... **wink, wink - nudge, nudge** ... _"Welcome to Castle Anthrax."_
Love all the short storys you bring to live for the rest of us. Ciaphas Cain is one of my favorite characters. Keep us the good work, for the glory of the Imperium.
Cain instinctive skill truly is badass any foe can fight him and lose well except maybe the terrifying necrons who took a couple of his fingers he’ll fight them but they are certainly more of a issue
Duuuuude Thanks so much! Caiphus Cain stories are so good He's also underrated, he calls full barrage on his position. The guy is a Chad I prefer blondes Frack that was great
By far my favorite character in 40K. And I do believe the the Emperor does love to personally fuck with Cain. Cain is probably his favorite source of entertainment, throwing him in these situations and watching him get out of it. " This time he definitely won't survive hahaha.... DAMN IT "
My hunch is that the Emprah really does favor Cain and even sees something of his old self in him, which is why he puts Cain through all this insanity. I think it's likely that the Emprah finds it entertaining to kinda live vicariously by watching the good commissar, and it doesn't hurt that he can be depended on to get the toughest jobs done when it counts.
Cain has the most extreme form of imposter syndrome of all time. In virtually every combat situation, though internally he is panicking and looking for a way out, he goes out of his way to save people and get shit done. Though in his mind he claims that he only does it because the alternative would be shame, he regardless has accomplished everything attributed to him. Because of his attempt at deserting against the tyranids was an actual fluke, he believes that everything he’s done since is a fluke too, whether it is or not.
One of my favourite characters, who else has managed to reach the lofty rank of commissar through nothing other than pure selfishness and cowardice? He's succeeded in not just surviving but thriving and obtained heroic rep status as well. More good stuff from ABORDERPRINCE 👌
Damn it I missed the live stream. Thank you for reposting. I look forward to hearing this on my drive home. Thank you once again, take care and congratulations on having a new baby as opposed to an old one.😁
We need a model for this guy, with rules to actually use him in a game. Even if he played exactly as he is in the books I think that be really fun but for the most part practically useless lol
MaaaaaTe thanks a tonne for doing more caiphus Cain readings, one of my favourite characters in 40k for sure. Cheers for all the hard work you put in making these videos for us brother we all really appreciate it ❤️❤️❤️
Love you work! I've had the pleasure of reading the whole series last year. Was one of the best books I've power read through. Hope Sandy M. makes more soon! The Emperor protects!
Excellent as ever, love your reading and especially when it's Cain! The bit at the end was hilarious but we've all been there with words. Thanks again!
I love how 40K stories always seem to have people meet the opposite endings the tropes would have you expecting. The virtuous die screaming and thrashing, while the rogues seem to skip and dance their way out of their impending doom.
I wish you had more subs and got paid more for your work sir. I want you to know I appreciate what you do as a fan for us other fans, truly, thank you! Off to get a mug after this video lol
Was off work ill last week and too poorly even to re-read Pratchett, which is my usual go to pick me up, instead I read a Cain collection that included this story. Proved to be the ideal mix of easy to read and uncomplicatedly entertaining to keep me diverted in the odd hours when my chronic fatigue allowed me to wake. It would seem that the Emperor does indeed protect.
Cain was my first books into 40k novels and I fell for it instantly. Then after Cain it became Eisenhorn, and between the two there is a red line that basically says "Plot armor", but to me as a young teen it just said "Awesome!" and then when the grimmer darker fantasy became more an more frequent it became too much just because it missed the "safety" of Cain and Eisenhorn.
@@curbnug3487Just let the Admechs do their thing. It makes them happy and keeps the gadgets working... Just don't mention Necrons around them and everything will be fine.
The only person I can trust with that is Henry Cavill and unfortunately we can't trust the staff to not make it a bunch of political stuff so have to wait for the studios to you know clear out the trash first because I want a good one not a heaping pile of garbage
I love anything involving Caine, especially when ABP reads it!!! Could you please please please read "Skarsnik" by Guy Haley some day? I want to hear that hilarious novel told through your voice
If you keep trying to avoid conflict yet always find yourself at its heart and inadvertently saving the day then what else could you be but God's chosen hero.
@@jesusisherelookbusy a similar character who is also great is the Brigadier Gerard by Arthur Conan Doyle (though maybe less of a Cad/cynic more just incompetent/comic). Very much worth a read if you havent come across it already...
Your voice is good but the issue I have is that I can't imagine any of the character without that hilarious filter where it turns them into 'chads' with the chiseled jawline and slightly raised eyebrow
The Ciaphus Caine series is great, the audible books are top shelf too IMHO, some of my favorites, if not actually my favorite. He just has so much brass and character surrounding his flaws 🤷♂️

Ciaphas Cain: women want him, and men want to be him.
Truly the Austin powers of 40k.
@Castro "that's not my bag baby"
Nah, women want him, men want him, the Emperor protec him haha
And he just wants to get the hell out of here
Amberley is blonde, no?
“Even Jürgen was being flirted with outrageously, which struck me as truly bizarre.
The only female I’d ever known to take a romantic interest in him before, was an Ogryn on R&R and she’d been drunk at the time.” - one of the best lines I've ever heard and it's based in the Grimdark of the far future.
I'm now picturing Jurgen being carried upstairs by a very large woman saying, "We make snu-snu!" It's not a pleasant image.
The "lucky" bastard XD
@Warrior of Virtue “NOOO!!! Save me Ciaphus! I don’t want to die!!!”
That fact that Ogryn's get R&R is so wholesome in this universe lol. I wonder who would regret it more in the morning? Jurgen when he got a good look at her in the sunlight or the Ogryn when she got a wiff of him.
They were even standing up wind
All hail the hero of the imperium!
"I prefer Blondes" is such an amazing line. I lost my shit.
I fucking love Cain and I probably spend way too much time thinking about him. My take away is that Cain is not a coward and only portrays himself that way due to a sort of survivor's guilt.
Anyways, great job as always.
It really is a good line. It's just like one of the old Connery one liners from the bond films.
Well considering his future main squeeze/love interest....
I would 100% agree with your assessment of Cain
Cains problem is that he mistakes fear for cowardice and doesn't realize you can't be brave without being terrified.
I think my favorite when he kills another Slaaneshi Sorceress later is "Impersonating an Inquisitor is a capital offense."
And the look of shock on the woman's face as she dies is hilarious.
Cia-Cai-Caiaphas Cain! Hero of the Imperium!
This guy survival instinct is just insane. Breaks of the temptations influence of Slaanesh follower can’t be a easy thing to do for normal humans. But I do love the “If it’s too good to be true” part because it’s is kind of true.
It helps when your aide is a blank.
Jurgen was nowhere nearby. Cain broke her spell through sheer force of will.
Hot Inquisitor gf > Anything Chaos has to offer
39:22
Wait a minute, did the followers of Nurgle mistook Jurgen as one of their own because of how he smelled!?! 🤣
Cain is who we would all be if 40k was real. Hiding as far away from the front lines as possible and getting drunk.
Most likely we all be throw into penal legions man. Getting drunk before the slaughter of xenos..... heresy.
Isn't that who most of us are already? Staying as far away from active war zones as possible and getting drunk.
You just described my 6 years in the U.S. Army.
Not me. I'd volunteer for arco-flagellant so I'd constantly be high on something until I go down swinging.
That's just what he tells himself. The truth is that he's a goddamned hero
Cain is just such a treasure, he's 40k's most relatable character, just a dude with imposter syndrome trying to survive the madness of the far future
He's a commissar but he didn't get a choice, nobody who goes to the schola does, you either adapt or die/enslaved for worse duties than being a stormtrooper, commissar, scribe etc.
Cain didn't choose his line of work
But my god did he choose how to navigate it
And who hasn't told a lie or two to make your career a little easier eh?
Yay, More Cain. Just what the Emperor ordered.
Amen
The emperors silliest clown and strongest soldier all wrapped into one
How much pure white cane do you think the emperor needs to sustain his ever-vigilant Awakenings
@@jamescarter8693 around 1000 kilos a day, in the grim dark future there is never enough to go around.
@@jamescarter8693 100% raw pure lol

A true hero of the imperium of man.

I’ve been sharing your Cain readings with a friend who’s going through tough times. They’re really enjoying them and it’s a great comfort for them.
True bro! Hope he is doing better

I'm still sure that he is the hero people think him to be, but his memoirs are written with self-abashing humor. Possibly as a way to cope with PTSD

_"Welcome to Castle Anthrax."_
Cain would turn Anthrax into Tylenol after a week of “extra-curricular” activities with the vigorous inhabitants
Unfortunately for Cain, this is one persistent recurrent villainess.
"Sorry, I prefer blondes" BAM
One of my fav lines...
Henry Cavill as Cian, i can imagine him saying this
My favorite quote from Ciaphas Cain novels was by "Eyor Dedonki" Memoirs of a pessimist. It's literally Eyor, from Winnie the Pooh. Eyor The Donkey.
Who ever you hired to do the beguiling voices of those Slanneshi cultists needs a raise
Bro, we need more Caib audios, These are top teir.
YES! Sandy and ABorderPrince... what a great merger of talents.
Thank you!
Ciaphas Cain will never die. Thanks ABP!

The actual books are copywrited so he can't read them on here
I love the ciaphas cain books. Thx for voices this short story.
Duuuuude
Thanks so much!
Caiphus Cain stories are so good
He's also underrated, he calls full barrage on his position. The guy is a Chad
I prefer blondes
Frack that was great
You there, get a broom.. One of the best lines ever.
Another great production, good sir! Looking forward to more, especially more Cain stories.
I actually get a hit of serotonin and a smile on my face when a new ABORDER PRINCE narration drops 😃
I love your voice when you talk as cain and to be honest everytime I come across a quote of cain I think of your voice as his
Cain’s adventures at Castle Anthrax.
Thanks ABP. Ciaphas Cain is some of my favorite 40k reading. I can write a research paper on why it's the best 40k series to get into.
I could smell this before I knew it was out. Cheers, Mate.

What a banger tale indeed. My interest is peaked :D
My favorite part is your falsetto, damsel in distress, it conveys the emotion and the ridiculousness of the situation, well done.
You have the perfect voice for 40k.
Thank you for being.
Oh another Ciaphas Cain book!
Save it to downloads right away!
Man you do a perfect representation of Cain's voice out of the sheer 80s action hero sense he gives off.
