The problem of urban warfare. You can be surprised at any time, but in a city, especially a ruined one, there is a lot of places where you can get shot from and things to hide behind. Fatigue will dull your perception. Any moment of distraction or not looking in the right direction can be a death sentence. A sad fate but not an uncommon one.
@@kingskelett6265 City-fights, especially in super-cities is a fucking nightmare. Thanks to the dimensionality and the over abundance of cover and concealment, you could very well be mere meters away from your opponent at all times and in every direction. But paradoxically, you must expose yourself or cross linear hazards where you are viewable from possibly kilometers away. Either way, there's a chance you'll have to discriminate between combatants and civilians at a distance or with half a heartbeat to decide whether to pull the trigger on the human silhouette you just saw. Furthermore, the air and water is toxic (or at the very least carcinogenic) from all the burning materials and unprocessed sewage and the buildings you walk on could be losing their stability moment by moment. Luckily, we haven't had to experience that is in the US. But If there is one thing I'd say is nightmare fuel, its clearing staircases. That shit still gives me sweats.
Sisters are among the best of the best. They're training every bit as rigorous and deadly as that of Space Marines recruits. Do or do not there is no try, there is only death in their failure, depending on the Order. For female humans and even male humans, they must prove that they are the most capable and faithful soldiers before they receive the full power armor, combat drugs and occasional augmentations.
@@cryptosguns They definitely aren't. At most they get bionics to recover from wounds, but they're absolutely not bio-engineered. They just train hard and are in peak physical condition in addition to abilities drawn from faith.
@@Chromevod Yes, sisters of battle are normal humans in all aspects. they just have a insane training regimen that puts them into the absolute best shape possible. They also benefit from stimulant drugs basically like super steroids. sisters are seriously jacked if you took their armor off they would look like the most extreme example of a professional body builder. they also have some limited bionics, but their genes are not altered in anyway they do not have extra organs implants or anything of the sort and are definitely not bioengineered. It should also be mentioned that the sisters faith in the emperor is so strong that it quite literally shields them and bestows them with somewhat superhuman ability at times, their connection to the emperor brings them closer to the warp than most and in some cases they have even possessed limited psychic powers.
I LOVE the attention to detail on this, like the preacher puts both hands up when the sister points her bolter at him in frustration at first but then he grabs his Symbol Imperialis with his left hand but keeps his right hand up in fear.
I'd like a whole season showing the battle to regain the city or planet, they could lose the planet for all I care I just want to watch the story unfold. Maybe following a squad that as they get deeper into the city they find more of Sa'kan's group. They might not know the story of the group but we would.
Regarding the zombies, it's all apart of the aptly named Pariah Nexus. There's some written lore on it in some White Dwarf magazines back during the 9th edition launch and such. Really creepy and depressing too, the Imperium really isn't prepared for any of what the Necrons bring to the table during the campaign. Also, during the series, when the Deathmark is hunting the Ultramarine it's been speculated that it's the same Veteran Sergeant from the 9th edition launch video and Danica is the SoB (they share the same scar on their face). Additionally, the Sister's faith and the Ecclesiarchy are actually the only reason the battle continues at all. Early on it's determined that the populations of various planets affected by the Nexus have been 'rendered' down by the Necrons. As the fighting begins, the Imperium holds their ground, even gaining some, before the Astra Militarum regiments start reporting mass blindness and the outbreak of the zombie plague. Only the Space Marines and various religious fanatics and groups are able to resist the nexus' effects; the Space Marines because of who and what they are, the Sisters and various hangers on because of the power of their faith - it acts as a shield for those around them as well. Like I said, it's a great campaign and sticks with just how horrible the Necrons are as enemies. Another excellent campaign worth reading is the FW book, The Fall of Orpheus.
I also was surprised with this depiction. I believe that in the game, sisters of battle have an iron will and unbreakable faith, but here she's just a soldier a tad more zealous than the rest.
Personally, I like to believe the Guardsman is a vision sent by the Emperor. She says things that I don't think even a Guardsman would say or know and I don't believe Sister Danica knew the Guardsman well enough to form some kind of bond for her to hallucinate her. I think the Emperor is trying to save her soul and bring her onto the right path. But that's just my belief
@@wiilovLikely not, there is plenty of lore of Pariah nexus in 9th edition. What seems to be the case is the case is the nexus effects people differently, with those who has a weak faith falling to its influence(zombies). While people with strong beliefs are protected and those around them. My guess is that the sister due to being exposed for a long period of time starts to have wavering faith, which leads to hallucinations which would try to break her faith or challenge it.
Had a similar thought because the alternative is that it is just a lame portrayal of schizophrenia ala A Beautiful Mind. It makes sense that the Emperor would try to intervene with a Sister straying away from his light in this way.
She was not just a guardman, but a Cadian. The most respected guardsmen in the Imperium. You can recognise them from the colour of their eyes. Look the lore of Cadians , it is interesting.
As a salamander fan boy its amazing when you hear sakan say what drives him. The line about protecting the helpless etc 🫡 Salamanders are the absolute chads of the 40k universe
I love how the sister of battle asked her logical side "why do you plauge me" this universe is so insane to live in, that sanity is seen as a curse. Insane is far more comfortable
I never realised Danica's hostile speech to the preacher and the memories could be a reference to the Sisterhoods defense of Vandire. With Vandire's betrayal of the truth and the sisterhoods guilt of their blind devotion ever since.
There was also about a dozen or so? Personally I like that because it shows how even strong and durable fighters can get overwhelmed and injured. I also think that, because of the mind-shackle or madness, they would have little self-preservation and try to do as much damage even as their bones break.
I like how the ending breaks from the generic stereotype of main character splitting up from the civilians or side characters to face the antagonist or destroy something and see those civilians/side characters again when the character finished their mission
Mate, thoroughly enjoy your work. You come across confident and well spoken in your delivery and not over the top in showing your enjoyment of quality moments. But how you confidently and have the tone of enjoying to describe and narrate the finer moments.
Just binged all 3 of your breakdown episodes on Pariah Nexus... and WOW, that was ABSOLUTELY SICK!!! As a newbie still, I'm definitely getting the hang of the lore and the world bit by bit, and I'm thoroughly enjoying it all. This is also probably the closest I would've gotten to watch the series for free. Coupled that with your insights/breakdown, it was a total blast. Already subscribed, and I'm glad that I found your channel via the 'Death of Hope' breakdown episode. Will be going through the rest of your content too. Keep it going, brother. Cheers!
Danica completes her character arc and realises the value of lives as well as faith only to be shot in the back and killed. Yep, that's 40k for you. Though I imagine Sa'kan is going to be pissed when he finds out his charges we killed.
Sa'kan and Sister Danica are cool characters. PS. I feel sorry for Danica. PPS. I subscribed to Warhammer TV for Pariah Nexus. May there be as many such animations as possible.
"This Galaxy is ours" speach reminds me of the Dawn of war 2 trailer when the space marine captain kills the eldar witch and says.... "this planet is ours witch" Hoping that's a small nod/reference to the game
I am a story hound and enjoy the breakdowns that you are giving for these episodes. Since I do not directly play the games it's still enjoyable to treat these like stories. Especially when talking about the lore current and from the past. This episode was fantastic with the ending a definite gut kick
Those Guardsmen and Death corp were the embodiment of "Only in death will the service end.". I'll leave the ending spoiler free, but it was in my opinion perfect.
When I heard about the Salamanders for the first time, I thought they were quite underwhelming. Seeing how much empathy they can have really makes them stand out from other chapters though. It must be hard to be an Astartes, while deeply caring for others. Pariah Nexus is an incredible addition to WarhammerTV and I really enjoyed your breakdown :)
If it's just what I saw of the episode, it's very short, for how long it took. Considering that initial action video from years ago, a trailer just over 2 years ago and only now this mini, which can't even be called a series. Not to belittle all the work of the team behind the animation, there is undoubtedly a lot of dedication there, you can see it. But I expected much more in terms of quantity, I don't know if it's finished yet.... I'm sorry for anyone who subscribes to Warhammer Plus, waiting so long for so little. Apart from the fact that it is a niche of people who subscribe to plus, I think GW could upload content to Amazon as soon as possible, anyway, I hope that Warhammer leaves the fan bubble and takes over the world.
Finally, finally!!! Now let's ask that question that no one wants to ask, during the crash landing, how come only one space marine survived, I mean aren't they built to withstand more than that, they weren't even unconscious but straight up dead And again I can't see myself watching any warhammer animation without your analysis, keep up the good work sir
Terrible luck and for the sake of the plot. They all had something lodged into them, through their chests or hearts. Sa'kan didn't get off easy either he probably got shrapnel into his heart and blunt force trauma likely collapsed one of his lungs
@15:05 did anyone else pick up on this DoW2 reference? It’s referencing the trailer when the marine kills the elder Farseer “this planet is OURS, witch.”
I really love your style of editing for these videos. You go through with your face in the screen as to make it fair use. But you do it without interrupting or speaking till you need to do a recap of the scene. Then you go back and help us understand the situation and details. Again, thank you.
Counterpoints, I’ve been enjoying your videos on WH and you’ve got me interested. Note, I’m interested in the stories, I’m NOT putting any money to collect and paint miniatures. I’ve got too many hobbies already. One thing that keeps me from delving in is that the stories and the lore still seem to me to be haphazardly slapped together without thought to meaning. I like analyzing stories, to discern what the author(s) are trying to tell us. I’m having trouble in discerning what messages the stories are trying to convey. To me, the WH universe seems to be a collection of dramatic stories/factions/histories that have nothing to offer outside of immediate, dramatic entertainment. Maybe I’m wrong. But this is something I’ve wanted to discuss with you for a while.
That was a "single" skorpekh and was it not for Danica our salamander would have been turned into diced veggie. I like how there isn't any plot armour here other than coincidence and if we were to remove said coincidence then there would have been a lot more destroyers and other necron variants swaqrming the party.
I've been having a real bad morning. Woke up late, had an asthma attack. Recovered, couldn't find my headphones... my wife washed them in the washer. 😢. Thanks for making it a little bit better. ❤
I check in on 40k animations from time to time. It looks like the quality is starting to reach decent levels. Another year or two and they might make a very memorable series.
Yeah Danica would be up on the purging block, she’d be a repentia in 2 seconds if not purged outright if she said this infront of the wrong people, glad she changed her mind 😂 Great episode
I love the episode. I appreciate your comments, among other things because you have military experience, useful experience for understanding 40k. It’s also for this aspect that I appreciate the late Sodaz videos.
I like when the Necron and Space marine argue. Both of them are like "I hate you because you are beneath me and I don't owe you any answers, but I'm gonna answer anyway."
Recently found your channel and I find your content to be quite enjoyable. Subscribed. Also, the opening cinematic between the Lamenter Space Marine (I think) and the Orc warriors, what movie is that from?
Like the channel! Can you handle some positive critiic? I am glad your sound isnt crap anymore! Probably has a touch more room to improve, louder is usually better since I watch on ipads usually. I love the Warhammer videos, but I feel as though you are going through a dryspell and may want to branch out into some other anime since GW doesnt have anything new coming out that I know of. Anyways keep doing what your doing!
Interesting side note about “turning the other cheek” in historical times in the Middle East. It used to be a challenge to someone of higher status than yourself. Typically they would slap you back handed, if you turned the other cheek, they would have to slap you with the palm - regarding you as equal. If they slapped you with the palm, you could fight back. The West’s translation interpreted this as passive compliance, not rising to someone’s bait and being the bigger person by not fighting.
the story is truly a touch by the black library. They love to have 2 or more plot lines going on parallel. A human perspective in the story, such as the sister; whether she is delusional, or unreliable narrative. Then a glimpse of hope, such as lonely salamander; whether he survives or not XD its better to be open ended. A galactic size asshole running the show, and even he is beaten, it's equivalent to spitting at a person's long casting shadow. It neither inconsequential nor memorable to him.
So sister Danica basically signed the death sentence of those ppl by firing her bolter for no reason and alerting the big ass necron,thus occupieing Sakan and leaving the ppl to go west on their own,which is certain death.
Just a BTW. I can't remember which exact video, but you were disappointed by the lack of swordplay and general tactics of an episode of Hammer and Bolter, i believe it was "A matter of faith" To simplify what you said for the future: HEMA is what you're talking about. "Historical European Martial Arts" :)
Thanks so much for posting these ! As I dont want to pay for them and Im more then happy to wait. 18:47 You think he would of picked up Sisters bolter or something lol. Just grabs his knife lol.
"Blessed is the mind too small for doubt. We chosen may be few, and our enemies many. Yet so long as there remains one of us still fighting, one who still deploys in the name of justice and truth, then by the Emperor, the galaxy shall yet know hope, and see the fires of holy retribution through his eyes. For those who seek perfection, there can be no rest on this side of the grave. May my sword be the mercy of angels, my bolter the deliverer of vengeance. Praise to the Imperium, Praise to the Emperor!"
I really enjoyed this episode, it added depth and character to the Space Marines through Shakhan, by the way counterpoints The Salamanders remind me of The Dragon Clan from Legend of the Five Rings.😊

Note that Sister Danica is shot when she turns her back to the horizon, her silhouette exposed in profile. The Emperor blesses tactical acumen.
As Kane wills it!

Sa’kan not dying means there’s more to come with Pariah Nexus. If it was just a one off, best believe the Salamander would have gotten killed.

Loving how much the soul of the Salamanders is on display with SaKan.

I like how there isn't any plot armour here other than coincidence and if we were to remove said coincidence then there would have been a lot more destroyers and other necron variants swaqrming the party.

I've been having a real bad morning. Woke up late, had an asthma attack. Recovered, couldn't find my headphones... my wife washed them in the washer. 😢. Thanks for making it a little bit better. ❤
We are really sorry, get better soon!
@@Miron_Marnic all good now. Happens sometimes. Thanks for the positive feedback.
"So be it, bioengineered anomoly" 😂
I check in on 40k animations from time to time. It looks like the quality is starting to reach decent levels. Another year or two and they might make a very memorable series.
hi counterpoint nice timing literally just finished watching the episode big fan btw😁
Yeah Danica would be up on the purging block, she’d be a repentia in 2 seconds if not purged outright if she said this infront of the wrong people, glad she changed her mind 😂 Great episode
I love the episode. I appreciate your comments, among other things because you have military experience, useful experience for understanding 40k. It’s also for this aspect that I appreciate the late Sodaz videos.
9:55 This is why you fight smarter, not harder.
13:05 Into the fires of battle, and unto the anvil of war!!!
That was really really good! Thx to share it with us
Also, love the smirk. 1rnd, 1m, per sec when the salamander returns fire.
18:06 boy: but your hand
Brother Sakan: nothing but a flesh wound

Praise be the Immortal Emperor.. I always love your take on Warhammer+ shows
Salutes him with 2 hands.. "Yeah you can have a nod, im kinda missing my arm bro."
Happy we are getting more stories about necron characters besides Trayzen. Hope the series continues and does this with some of the other factions
I like when the Necron and Space marine argue. Both of them are like "I hate you because you are beneath me and I don't owe you any answers, but I'm gonna answer anyway."
Recently found your channel and I find your content to be quite enjoyable. Subscribed. Also, the opening cinematic between the Lamenter Space Marine (I think) and the Orc warriors, what movie is that from?
Like the channel! Can you handle some positive critiic? I am glad your sound isnt crap anymore! Probably has a touch more room to improve, louder is usually better since I watch on ipads usually. I love the Warhammer videos, but I feel as though you are going through a dryspell and may want to branch out into some other anime since GW doesnt have anything new coming out that I know of. Anyways keep doing what your doing!
Imagine a whole series like this one 🤯🤯🤯
Interesting side note about “turning the other cheek” in historical times in the Middle East. It used to be a challenge to someone of higher status than yourself. Typically they would slap you back handed, if you turned the other cheek, they would have to slap you with the palm - regarding you as equal. If they slapped you with the palm, you could fight back. The West’s translation interpreted this as passive compliance, not rising to someone’s bait and being the bigger person by not fighting.
the story is truly a touch by the black library. They love to have 2 or more plot lines going on parallel.
A human perspective in the story, such as the sister; whether she is delusional, or unreliable narrative.
Then a glimpse of hope, such as lonely salamander; whether he survives or not XD its better to be open ended.
A galactic size asshole running the show, and even he is beaten, it's equivalent to spitting at a person's long casting shadow.
It neither inconsequential nor memorable to him.
Sees the necrons HUD detected brainwaves instead of any other vital is interesting
This is peak Warhammer content 👌
Well shoot. I'll have to comment for Hawkins & Co.
“This galaxy is ours.”
Then the point of view as he brings the chain sword down. Nice little throw back to Dawn of War Dark Crusade and Dawn of War 2
The part where Sakahn decides that he will choose to fight and possibly make the rest live is a smart idea for the show. 12:55
The Necrons are suprisingly good with the dry humor.
Just got home from a 10 hour shift I got me a pizza and soda this a nice gift to add on to keep posting!!
So sister Danica basically signed the death sentence of those ppl by firing her bolter for no reason and alerting the big ass necron,thus occupieing Sakan and leaving the ppl to go west on their own,which is certain death.
Ultraboys being a great support even in death
The guards woman is a mental projection. That wild!
Just a BTW. I can't remember which exact video, but you were disappointed by the lack of swordplay and general tactics of an episode of Hammer and Bolter, i believe it was "A matter of faith" To simplify what you said for the future: HEMA is what you're talking about. "Historical European Martial Arts" :)
"I hunted dragons on my youth boy" would that be Tyranids?
No they have drakes/dragons on Nocturne
@@Counterpoints well remembered
Salamanders in all glory, im so happy that ever can see my green boys shine
Thanks so much for posting these ! As I dont want to pay for them and Im more then happy to wait. 18:47 You think he would of picked up Sisters bolter or something lol. Just grabs his knife lol.
The Salamanders are something else. Wow...just wow!!! 😮😮😮
Not really into your political stuff, but I am starting to get into wh40k and enjoy what you add to that. Very well done.
hawkinscoleather I have loved these animations especially because they have added the new guard look
"Blessed is the mind too small for doubt. We chosen may be few, and our enemies many. Yet so long as there remains one of us still fighting, one who still deploys in the name of justice and truth, then by the Emperor, the galaxy shall yet know hope, and see the fires of holy retribution through his eyes. For those who seek perfection, there can be no rest on this side of the grave. May my sword be the mercy of angels, my bolter the deliverer of vengeance. Praise to the Imperium, Praise to the Emperor!"
Was waiting for this video, glad its here!
Is there a video you talked about the orgyns? If not would like to see a review or in depth talk about it. Good work 👍
THank you once again for the break down. =) Always love your takes
oh hell yeah, thanks connor.
is it Connar or Connor?
Bästa du är .... Du är bra helhjärtat begåvad i detta du gör .
Don't you hate it when your doing you're job and your boss just keeps breathing down you're neck.
I wish the episodes had more units involved in the story. Maybe flashbacks to the Ultra Smerfs squads fighting the Cron.
I really enjoyed this episode, it added depth and character to the Space Marines through Shakhan, by the way counterpoints The Salamanders remind me of The Dragon Clan from Legend of the Five Rings.😊
It is such a fresh start to see the salamanders get some real action.
