"The secret heretics tried to capture the secret loyalists so they could discern the location of the hidden heretics in a conflict where both sides were loyal to the emperor" - Lord Commander Chykin on the Dark Angels actions on Vraks M41.999
Ah, but what if this is just the secretly loyal (tm) alpha legions plan to both tie up the dark angels and prevent them from doing more fuckery, reduce their numbers, get them to reduce the numbers of the traitors on vraks as well as cause the situation where the rapid response force is lost from the inside, to get space marine support to vraks in the first place, and prevent the spaceport from being used for escape by the chaotic forces they're going to set up to die later in the battle? IE they planted the rumor that the dark angels are responding to. ... How are the alpha legion not tzeench's favorite people in the galaxy with the amount of "just as planned" they have going on?
@blackrave404 To quote an Alpha Legionarre on Spacebattles when asked who would win in a stealth match, them or the Raven Guard: "We would win, because we are also the Raven Guard. We are also all twenty of the original founding legions and most of the traitor warbands. We have been waging a proxy Long War for ten thousand years to bring back the Emperor and ensure Human Supremacy. All the Marines, all their auxiliaries and all their menials are hypno-indoctrinated to serve us upon the mere speaking of a keyword. Let it be known that Alpharius may be one, but we are all Alpharius."
@boop5725 Jürgon is Baldrick in my head cannon. It makes it a lot easier that the narrator of the audiobook seems to have the same idea and read Jürgon similar to Baldrick
Then you did better than me, in my case, it was more like the Sisters of Battle upon encountering a savage ritual being performed by an Imperial Guard regiment.
@@aaronbiduk813 Tech priest I have a question. Is there a special initiation rite related to the toasters on mars? Or did you just all discovered the "other side" of the machine spirit in your rooms?
When fighting the alpha legion... everything going right could be according to the enemy's plan. Also given the factions.. figuring out who is on which side could be complicated.
On a serious note the Dark Angels weren't written according to their lore. The Dark Angels task one combat company to a mission then support them with elements from the support companies. I think the author was going for a crazier chapter like the black templars than changed mid stream and didn't rewrite the whole mission. That's putting it charitably.
@@mdb45424 That's what happens when you change horses mid stream. You have Dark Angels making unsound tactics using unsound line ups then leaving without purging tbe heretic.
Frankly, I think the DAs shouldn't realistically have become involved at all. It's infinitely more likely that the Lord Militant would have gotten a call back from the Imperial Fists - as siege and fortification experts, the Sons of Dorn see the Kriegers as kind of kindred spirits, and would have spared some men to reinforce them due to that. And honestly, the minute the LM said "war on heretics", the Black Templars would have OwO'd with an instant purge-boner and thrown like 1000 of their 6500~ men at it, the li'l murdergoblins. The way it was canonically handled was just ill-considered, bad writing, I say.
@@cn9707 I mean no part of Alpha Legion isn't a plan within a plan within a plan. Heck it's still kind of up in the air whether their Primarch is two, three, or more people. They can't even be founded clearly.
The alpha legion just wanted the spaceport destroyed, so that the dark angels would fake falling to chaos late in m42 to hunt the last of the fallen, so that the alpha legion could found the omega legion, which would replace the costodes, who would be occupied fighting the dark angels, so that omegon could talk with emperor alpharius.
Hey arch as some one who only got into 40k in mid 2018 I'd just like to say your videos on the subject matter pretty amazing and thanks for the quality content.
Robute Guilliman wrote the Codex Astartes and has made all the legions downgrade themselves into fan customizable chapters. Yet he cannot instill even a hint of tactical common sense into the masters. Do not to launch an attack on an enemy before U can see them being Rule 1.1 in his Book of Victory.
Well, that would mean they have a likelihood of turning traitor and turning against the God Emperor! Teaching any form of Tactical Common Sense is Heresy!!! After all. Those traitors learned tactical common sense! Look where they are now! They are still active and more or less alive. As they used tactics and ran away when things were not going their way. Yet a good Astartes would die to the last man.
But if you write about urban combat you should at least research the basics about it, shouldn't you? Other authors spend alot of time researching so that there aren't any major blunders.
i'm a writer and i know a lot about small unit tactics, actually when you write about something you better understand it well beforehand, increases the quality of the work ten folds, that's all there is about world building and research brother... the fun part of writing, learning in details...
I actually feel like involving astartes traitor or loyal made this less interesting since I was loving the early fighting for every inch no matter how long it would take to gain that inch mentality of the Krieg siege regiments. Freaking love those glorious bastards.
Showing how dumb Space Marines and Chaos Space Marines sometimes are... the Alpha Legion could have killed the Dark Angels' Chapter Master and a lot of the 1st. Company... they could tried to take the Chapter Banner after the battle.
Yeah but taking the banner while they’re in the midst of battle would be a greater shame than losing it after they’re all dead. They wanted to humiliate them by taking their precious banner right out from under them. If they killed them all and then took it, it wouldn’t have the same effect.
In military history it is way more shameful to loose your colours aka your Banner than just gettin annihilated. That beeing said if they actually managed to do both that war would have been over some weeks later. Why you ask ? If you think 6.5 k angry rogal Templer boys screw you up try a freqkin LEGION descending on vraks as i severly doubt anything related to the Lion would not have immediatly dropped even the emperor and Set course for vraks.

You ever wonder why the Imperials constantly falls for the same tactics the Alpha Legion uses over and over again? The Imperial Guard I can understand. 95% of the Guard doesn't even know what an Alpha Legionary is, let alone their battle strategy. However, the Astartes, especially the First Founding chapters, have no excuse by now to fall for the same old tricks over and over. Personally if I heard the enemy was the Alpha Legion, I would turn around a dump a magazine into my own shadow just to make sure my shadow isn't Alpharius.
It's almost like they're fighting against genetically modified supersoliders with vastly extended lifespans that have been trained since birth and have been in a near constant state of war for ten thousand years, poorly supplied, but supplied with some of the most potent technologies and resources that are reasonable to quire in the setting.
The simple answer is that it is hard for normal people to write smart people. As such, all the author can really do is parrot "sneaky tactics", he has heard about and force the opposing side to fall for them.

Of course, we are secretive and Archaic. The First precedes the Imperium and the unification war on Earth, we fought alongside the EMPEROR and the Thunder warriors to unify Earth and wipe out the vile and perverted religions, belief, and faith. Heck, we precede Custodes and Astartes for heck's sake. If it was not for us, the IMPERIUM, HOLY TERRA, and you johnny come latelys legions would not exist. With us being such a long-running legion, who knows what secrets, missions and goals and what path the Emperor set us on before he had a hand-shandy and made Primarchs and Astartes from the goop

he is the only youtuber i can listen to for 50 min at one go. he is a master in storytelling. even although i dislike his "sjw" videos with a burning passion, i love these lore videos. Especially his siege vids
I cant listen to him for anything more than 20. The way he speaks is incredibly annoying to me. It was funny the first time, but his sarcastic and flaunty tone and overused speech tropes always just usher me out of the video. The only thing that kept me coming back was the fact that even though the way he speaks is annoying, hes the only warhammer lore youtuber on this site that can tell a story instead of reading off the damn Wiki. I enjoyed his earlier videos more. I can agree with you (perhaps for different reasons) that hes taken the whole SJW slayer persona a bit far. 1 video defending the lore from rabid feminists is fine, if not funny, but it's not his strong suit, and I personally prefer him when hes talking about Warhammer lore.
@@snortingnesquik3470 to be fair, he speaks slow ok, but i feel it as having a person next to you, a friend telling a story rather than a guy speaking in the microphone.

People with no sense of military honor don't understand the importance of flags; be that country, state, organization, or unit. Losing your colors is the most grievous of offenses and is the greatest dishonor you can have. From the Roman Legionaries, to the French Grande Armée, to the modern military, and apparently 40,000 years into the future. Letting your eagle/guidon/colors get captured is very, very bad.
Yay new Vraks video! I've watched all these Warhammer 40k videos (literally all of them) by Arch and so many by other creators...but I've never played any Warhammer 40k or roleplayed or read the books or even gotten into the Dawn of War games, but somehow months back I was directed to a random 40k video and found this stuff very interesting! I wonder if I'm a bit weird for learning SO DAMN MUCH about this fantasy universe when I haven't played any games/read any books set in it though haha.
So the Death Korps of Krieg 88th Siege Army have, at this point, lost the lives of tens of thousands of guardsman in the mud, blood, and rain of Vraks for seven grueling years, and have been nothing but polite when requesting for reinforcements and more logical orders from High Command. Meanwhile, the Dark Angels have lost... what, 15, 20 Astartes and their fancy flag almost - ALMOST - got some dirt on it, then proceed to throw a hissy fit about "uncomfortable rates" of casualties. Oh, and they blow up the starport, thus not giving the siege army any benefits. Fucking Space Marines...
Damn good work, my friend! I'll do patreon when I've stabilized my finances lol if it means being delivered with quality reviews and excellent commentary! Cheers!
I'm no tactician, but seems like a right waste of resources leveling the bridges and the starport, unless those vehicles can fly knocking out one section of road span should be completely sufficient to cut off the starport and leave it possible to actually fix the damn thing for future use. I know the Dark Angels are big on operational secrecy, but it seems like they spent way more time and explosives than were remotely reasonable.

The First precedes the Imperium and the unification war on Earth, we fought alongside the EMPEROR and the Thunder warriors to unify Earth and wipe out the vile and perverted religions, belief, and faith. Heck, we precede Custodes and Astartes for heck's sake. If it was not for us, the IMPERIUM, HOLY TERRA, and you johnny come latelys legions would not exist. With us being such a long-running legion, who knows what secrets, missions and goals and what path the Emperor set us on before he had a hand-shandy and made Primarchs and Astartes from the goop
@@MrSh1pman Yea, his title is the Faithless. The emp was pro atheism. Clearly a loyal servant of the imperial truth.
Praise be the Omnissiah for today we are blessed with a Arch Lore Video!
I'd really ♥ to see a Grey Knights lore vid sometime.
Thanks a lot for sharing this massive lore with us! Listened to every single episode and enjoyed it to the fullest.
It's great. Even if you have read the books, know the stories etcetera etcetera, these videos put it all into a whole new, highly amusing light. Well done sir!
A-Legion: Wanna see somethin cool?
D-Angels: Enh...sure why not?
A-Legion: HRRRRNNNNNGGGHHH!
(the alpha legion vanishes with no trace. No flicker of dust, no flash of warp energy, just a soft and simple
noise) *POP*
D-Angels: Hate it when they do that, gives me the willies.
(alternative dark angel response)
D-Angels: Bruh.
Love how when I get home from work this ready for me right when I walk in the door literally
Dark Angels be like: "I've got a bad feeling about this..."
Arch always uploads during the middle of my work shift.
Loving the series! Your long form content is always immersive and entertaining.
This series is simply the best one i am currently watching, i don't recall being so excited for a new episode of any series since i was like 9 years old
Yessss been waiting all week for this!
Where the fk have i been man this is fantastic you should have a spot on late night tv, you know one of those new free view channels :) with graphics and putting you in a generals chair. You get the picture ...
And they played capture the flag for a while.
*"We've Been Tricked, We've Been Backstabbed and We've Been Quite Possibly, Bamboozled"*
This is so good. It wouldve been better if you made this into something like a radio drama. Im so hooked.
Dork Angels vs Alfa Troll Legion. Let them fight.
*_Howls grow closer_*
Arch’s sentence structure and language tropes are a bit...shall we say.........repetitive.
But hey details
It is as the Emperor wills it... Or one of the more crafty Chaos Gods using it to indoctrinate you
And so good
he is the only youtuber i can listen to for 50 min at one go. he is a master in storytelling. even although i dislike his "sjw" videos with a burning passion, i love these lore videos. Especially his siege vids
I cant listen to him for anything more than 20. The way he speaks is incredibly annoying to me. It was funny the first time, but his sarcastic and flaunty tone and overused speech tropes always just usher me out of the video. The only thing that kept me coming back was the fact that even though the way he speaks is annoying, hes the only warhammer lore youtuber on this site that can tell a story instead of reading off the damn Wiki. I enjoyed his earlier videos more. I can agree with you (perhaps for different reasons) that hes taken the whole SJW slayer persona a bit far. 1 video defending the lore from rabid feminists is fine, if not funny, but it's not his strong suit, and I personally prefer him when hes talking about Warhammer lore.
@@snortingnesquik3470 to be fair, he speaks slow ok, but i feel it as having a person next to you, a friend telling a story rather than a guy speaking in the microphone. His overreacting with spacemarine power and their opponents really stand out. But i can see why you wouldnt like. You need to make time for such videos. You Cant simply listen while gaming.
Peeerfect! I just got home from work. Much love here from the Philippines, brutha.
"We did it Patrick, we saved the star port"
The Astartes also underestimate their mortal opponents, so that could be the reason for some of the chapter master’s blunders.
door to door fighting is dangerous, easy enough to place some krak grenades to a motion sensor so when the door opens boom. All it would take would be some know how from 1 alpha legion to show the grunts how its done.
Fair fight are for suckers. :D
Every eldar in history.
For that mather any succefull commander in history :D
I dont know why but hearing arch warhammer say that in an approving tone brings a smile to my face :D
malaficus shaikan If you find yourself fighting a fair fight, someone’s fucked up somewhere
This is my favorite series on youtube right now. Fantastic.
Napoleon : "Men will fight and die for a bit of colored ribbon"
The addendum was quite informative and appreciated as to the state of the book compared to your extensive knowledge. Wonderful series, Thank you and I am still REALLY enjoying the series.
People with no sense of military honor don't understand the importance of flags; be that country, state, organization, or unit. Losing your colors is the most grievous of offenses and is the greatest dishonor you can have. From the Roman Legionaries, to the French Grande Armée, to the modern military, and apparently 40,000 years into the future. Letting your eagle/guidon/colors get captured is very, very bad.
Ah now I can make it through another work day with this fine piece of work playing in my ear
I sat through all the background... This better be good Arch.
Update- it was pretty good.
So glad my DA are getting more lore time.
To me it seems the Alpha Legion might've had access to the webway. It'd explain a lot.
Freaking love your comments on events like its nothing special
I was waiting for this
Imagine the sheer power, speed and brutality of enraged space marines fighting each other!
Yay new Vraks video!
I've watched all these Warhammer 40k videos (literally all of them) by Arch and so many by other creators...but I've never played any Warhammer 40k or roleplayed or read the books or even gotten into the Dawn of War games, but somehow months back I was directed to a random 40k video and found this stuff very interesting! I wonder if I'm a bit weird for learning SO DAMN MUCH about this fantasy universe when I haven't played any games/read any books set in it though haha.
I felt too that the battle was weird.. ty for the addendum
"God damn fucking dark Angels" That was a good laugh.
So the Death Korps of Krieg 88th Siege Army have, at this point, lost the lives of tens of thousands of guardsman in the mud, blood, and rain of Vraks for seven grueling years, and have been nothing but polite when requesting for reinforcements and more logical orders from High Command.
Meanwhile, the Dark Angels have lost... what, 15, 20 Astartes and their fancy flag almost - ALMOST - got some dirt on it, then proceed to throw a hissy fit about "uncomfortable rates" of casualties. Oh, and they blow up the starport, thus not giving the siege army any benefits.
Fucking Space Marines...
Have the Dark Angels even heard of Sun Tzu?! Captured enemy resources are even more valuable than your own!
The Alpha Legion has had an undisclosed amount of time to train those people.
Exactly, not to mention they’ve been fighting for years now and are certainly not the amateurs that started the rebellion
thanks for continuing the Krieg lore series
I misread that thumbnail as "War of Incels" and then I realized it was about the Dark Angels and I realized I was still correct.
Excelent as always.Well done.
Thank you Arch, for your hard work.
Damn good work, my friend! I'll do patreon when I've stabilized my finances lol if it means being delivered with quality reviews and excellent commentary! Cheers!
Yes was waiting and checking every hour
Greatly enjoying these and the art work is magnificent
Chapter Master of the very loyal Dark angels.

And now to something completely different........
BOOM!
What is the average airspeed velocity of an unladen Dark Angel?
@@theark4568That depends. Loyalist or Traitor Dark Angel?
Robert Bradley Wait, whaAAAAAAAAAAAGH
*Gets squashed under drop pod*
I'm no tactician, but seems like a right waste of resources leveling the bridges and the starport, unless those vehicles can fly knocking out one section of road span should be completely sufficient to cut off the starport and leave it possible to actually fix the damn thing for future use. I know the Dark Angels are big on operational secrecy, but it seems like they spent way more time and explosives than were remotely reasonable.
Nothing sparks more joy in my nerdy hearth then hearing of Dark Angels sustaining casualties.
I'm not going to watch this untill I'll get myself a piece of cake and a refreashing drink.
As a Dark Angels fan i'm pretty damned pissed at how they were portrayed in the Siege of Vraks.
