And non-mechstack/ctanpile necrons for the amount of glue exposure required to keep their stick-weapons unbroken in their stick-arms which in turn have to be on their bodies.
B+? They went so far They didn't even stop with 40k, S2D in AOS is just as bad, they are infecting other game modes and spreading like a biological attack at this point, that's gotta be grade A stuff at least
@@BirdRaiserE Call me when they make a disease that turns you into glass. Or makes your bones explode out of your body violently enough to impale the guy next to you. Or have poison as their primary ranged weapon. Or render entire worlds into a single vial of toxin. The Dark Eldar have been on their bullshit for longer than hominids have stood upright.
I think Votann should earn some points for their Unicron Planet Eating machines that they extort the inhabitants of said planets just for the evacuation.
The Leagues also decided to hunt an entire WAAAGHH to extinction. Not the worst I'll admit but this took them 500 years. How many Orks were punished for actions taken generations before the gestated?
@@wheekwarrior1406that’s honestly every episode for leauges. Completely butchered the cannon fodder episode as well. Literally objectively wrong about the lore in that one. *cries in dwarf*
Not just stripping a planet or solar system of all resources, but also piracy on a massive scale. They don't recognize property rights or anyone outside their league. If they want something you have they'll just take it.
As a Guard player my favorite big whoopsy doozy, is when the DKoK was sent to a Hive city in Rebellion. The Kriegers set up artillery and started shelling. They reduced the city to “naught but rubble and dust” but kept shelling. 5 years after the Hive City unconditionally surrendered they were still shelling. As far as we know, they’ve never stopped shelling because no one with authority told them to stop.
I could totally see a convo between a custodian and a space marine go like : C: "You'll end up like the Thunder Warriors" SM: "What's a Thunder Warrior ?" C: "Exactly"
The Night Lords would hand in the assignment being really unsure they did it right. “I think this is what you are after teach, but we would like to point out we believe this actually minimizes suffering and loss of life in the long run.” Teacher begins to read. “Umm, no, this fulfills the assignment very well. The fact that you think it might not, I’m not sure if you get less points or even more.” … (and this is why we love NL)
As a Tyranid player I do not fully grasp the concept of this episode, however based off of other submissions I believe that we should get a grade bump. With each planetary invasion Tyranids release trillions of spores into the atmosphere that leach out all useful components of the atmosphere including oxygen, as such unarmed prey, sorry 'civillians' are attacked, and we make large swathes of land uninhabitable, aka the planet Secondly I would petition you to consider the flesh boarer, a gun that fires maggot like tyranids towards a target feasting in their body, this is quite literally a bio weapon, also we have a bunch of mines that we just leave everywhere. I thank all who read this and whilst I do not quite get what I am arguing for, I believe that the nid report card needs a better grade to please the hive queen
As a fellow nidds player while I agree, I prepose we merely resubmit hive fleet Gorgon. Plagues so virulent that even plague marines fall to them. That surely will get us a C! Praise to the hive queen.
Should have done phosphex and rad weapons. Not the radium carbine or arc weapons, but the classic rad weapons where it's just a gun spewing dirty bomb fallout
I'm still waiting for "Grading every factions Fortification by how useless it is" Especially after seeing someone finish off a void dragon by tank shocking it with a T ' au tide wall. (he played the wall for months waiting for the opportunity)
As a Knights player who's ready kingmaker, the knights would like to submit that they kill innocents with their suits in a gladiator like arena where they have no chance to survive.
I think they ignored that since it’s so specific and kind of iffy because there was chaos influence. They should’ve looked at the mechanicum aligned knights that have horrible radiation cleanser weapons
I don't think that counts seeing as it's not an act of war. A crime against humanity (necrontyrity?) sure, but that's a completely different sort of crime. Likewise with the creation of Slaanesh - had it been an intentional act of war used against the Eldar, sure, messing with the fate of your enemies' souls ought to be one if it isn't already (a cursory glance indicates that it's against the Geneva Convention to feed prisoners foods that their religion bans, so yes, I'd extrapolate that deliberately trying to send people to hell will put you on the naughty list), but it wasn't an act of war. Both are comparable to a nuclear weapons test going badly wrong which is probably an act of criminal negligence at least but not really something the convention cares about.
Necrons shouldve gotten to use the fact that they deploy destroyers and flayed ones (especially flayed ones) onto soldiers and civilians just to make their advance a little faster
Okay so, on the "Are Shotguns a War Crime?" bit, there is a bit of a fun fact. That actually comes from WW1. When the US joined the war, a bunch of Midwest farm boys realized that their shottys from back home would work reallllly well in the trenches. Turned out they were so right that Germany freaked out it and petitioned that they be a war crime officially, only to be turned down
By today's standards, every bolt weapon (including those used by Votann) is basically a woopsie-doopsie. Exploding rounds that detonate inside of soldiers is a big no-no.
@leXie1337_chan was it the 20mm thing that was the problem, or the less than 400g part? But yeah the OICW was my first thought. Or as The Fat Electrician called it, the Baloney Mist Maker 5000
As someone who’s been restocking the cereal aisle every night for the past YEAR, I am VERY excited for the cereal episode. Bonus points if you manage to find a cereal I haven’t seen yet. Good luck!
You forgot the Necron’s mind shackle scarabs, definitely a A+ war kerfuffle if I’ve ever heard of one, as it’s a little metal guy in your brain puppeting you to do what ever it wants.
12:01 - What the heck do you mean brother. I know not many people read the fluff of the nid weaponry, but im sure balls of disease that dissolves you slowly, and injection with around 23-24 different parasites one of which selectively cripples the target/eats their "i can move" bits of the brain and nerves (not counting the bullet bugs that explode on impact after a bit of burrwing like the stranglethorn flies and bioplasma blobs half the big nids can puke out of their mouth) while from the others at least 3 (tho only 1 still on tabletop) proceed to burst out of the sometimes still living target to burrow into more people hits at least a strong B. However, mind you, the psychophage has come, where others just dissolve in acid or disassemble through high power electricity essentially, its... well, ITS A GERMAN FRIENDSHIP WINDMILL OVEN FOR PSYKERS (that then uses the ashes to cover its friendly dinobugs for protection). The austrian painter and ruski starveski wish they could reach that level of warcrime.
T'au have done bigger oupsi than executing surrended enemies, the T'au of the 4th Expansion Sphere have also killed unarmed auxiliaries. For me it's worth because they are fighting for the T'au 5 minutes before, it should deserve a D+ 😅
I think orcs actually might have the best grade. They're always creative and they always try, and even when their submissions are bad, they still get a decent grade for the sheer audacity. They've also generally got a really big range so they were able to submit work as far as I can remember. From the imperium, I feel like sisters actually probably have a pretty good overall grade too. And of course at the bottom , I think it might be imperial knights , cuz I think chaos often gets a slightly higher grade
The reason shotguns have the war-crime stigma is entirely because of German WW1 whining. Yes, they submitted a formal objection. Yes, the Germans were still using gas weapons. So what?
Man this is the best podcast ever. I’m so glad I watched this whole episode on RUclips and bought every piece of merch you guys have available over at Orchideight.
Something actually pretty interesting that I learned recently is that a lot of what people view as a war crime, actually isn't really a war crime. The basic principle is that it's generally only really a war crime if it isn't militarily necessary, targets civilians, or causes significant collateral damage. A good example is that incendiary weapons actually aren't banned, you're allowed to use them on military targets without consequences. They just aren't used generally since by their very nature they tend to break this rule by causing collateral damage. If memory serves I believe I got this from a video by a guy called Justin Taylor.
My favourite part of this episode about uh..."morally abhorrent strategy choices while executing a large-scale dispute" was just Eric making Brad crack up with unexpected quips. You can tell he was on excellent form for this one.
In terms of Oppsie Poopsies Necrons biggest one was not upgrading their avg citizens to have better arms that don't break at a slight breeze and get lost for several months at a time
votann kill team lore is that they where corralling a hive tendril to kill and harvest it, but this entails destroying some worlds and feeding others to a hive fleet, that could be a pretty great war crime
I think a whoopsie doopsie in portuguese would be something like "uma bobeirinha" (a little fooling) or "uma zoeirinha" (a little trolling). Practical example: "Vulkan fez uma zoeirinha com aquela criança Eldar"
For season 2 of this classroom drama can you guys focus on being the teachers who decide the grade based off of your guests who submit one of their armies projects? Bricky debating why his faction should be graded high would be a hilarious conversation for you guys to grade on
The Knights submitted the Armiger. There's a scene in Assassinorum: Kingmaker where a bunch of insurgent POWs get chased down for sport by armigers on a tournament field, so there's that.
Honestly, if Eric is changing his image to an Orc, I think he should have picked a Weirdboy. Before it was a sort of image, where two great psykers discuss things about 40k universe - probably not intentional, but the idea could be seen. It does not work as well with Ork commando (if I recognised the ork right).
This video could have been an hour longer and everyone would have been very happy but I get the concern. This is definitely a fun one, and Eric was on fire this time
14:43 If you didn't know, with the space age DLC, you can now drop items into lava on the planet Vulcanus. You only need an inserter to take items from a belt into the lava. There's already a mod to put Hatsune Miku as an item on the belt so I'm sure with a bit of modding we can add some civilians to spice up the spaghetti base. The factory must grow for the Omnissiah.
Votann: Don’t they yoink planets out from under people like a car stopped at a red light in Necromunda? Deldar: That’s more a “human rights violation” than a warcrime, but they make up for it with the unparalleled quantity of mistreatment of POWs. Orks & Nids: even if you don’t understand the laws of war, they still apply to you Admech: also more of a human rights violation, but they use enough radioactive weaponry to make up for it Guard: they’ve probably done all the good old-fashioned ones Marines: for once, Brad’s prosperoner is correct. But then again, nothing that didn’t happen during the rest of the great crusade. CSM: Still a human rights violation, but I don’t think the ICJ would be much happier to have that in front of them. And the Alpha Legion gets turbo bonus points for violating every false flag law under the sun. But generally, everyone gets points for disproportionate responses, not accepting surrenders, and wanton civilian casualties.
The thing about Custodes and warcrimes… we capture and release prisoners into the palace underground for what is essence a very one sided “the most dangerous game”
Humans turned in to space coke, genestealers, Tau eugenics, everything the Mechanicus and Mechanicum does.... and how did we not even get to Fabulous Bill?
I still think my favorite Sisters war crime came from the 9th edition codex. They took a drop ship and scattered holy oil through the sky above a city and then ignited it to rain literal holy fire onto the populace
Along with the whole thunder warrior cropping season, custodes literally have terror unit in dread host who's job is to literally go nightlord shenanigan on people.
Im all for the meme, had me rolling, but I did want to mention a cool thing about Chaos Knights. They have at times used a virus called the Conqueror Wyrm to corrupt all mechanical or enhanced things that hear it, and that feels like a small oopsie whoopsie
in the book dearhwatch shadowbreaker by steve parker the tau worked alongside an inquisitor to intentionally make tau genestealer and do experiments on them to try and find a way to make people immune to becoming infected by genestealers, thats a bit of a better warcrime than what yall found i think

In terms of irl war crimes, CSM should get a B+ for forcing players to paint chaos trim.

Calling the demonetization and using the AoS as a time waster is the best intro I have ever seen
Shocked Admech didn't just submit their radiation weapons. They *love* that shit.
They do, but factorio-ing a bunch of civilians into a volcano is both more on-brand and deserving of a higher grade
Can't forget servitors either. They literally labotomize people and surgically rebuild them for labor and combat.

Came to these comments for this. Capturing and torturing your nominal allies into war machines
In the 9th Votann codex, they have tech to eat suns. Definitely falls under indiscriminate attack which is a no-no in the geneva convention
They don't declare war, it's just business for them. Technically not a war crime.
As a Knights player who's ready kingmaker, the knights would like to submit that they kill innocents with their suits in a gladiator like arena where they have no chance to survive.
Yeah, about that...finish the book and you'll see that's not a normal thing for IMPERIAL knights to do.

The Tyranid definitely falls under biological warfare.

Exploding rounds that detonate inside of soldiers is a big no-no.
They're also smaller than the 20mm irl minimum, which is a fun fact that killed the OICW weapons system.

Then again, not doing that would make the video several hours long.
The Drukhari section alone would be a few hours lol
Imperial knights will routinely round up hundreds of peasants and prisoners to mindlessly cut down for tournament events
Hey, there are Agents players!
There’s dozens of us! Dozens!
You could argue that the Shadow in the Warp is a form of psychological warfare
For those interest the slightly less censored version on their patreon is even better.
I still think my favorite Sisters war crime came from the 9th edition codex. They took a drop ship and scattered holy oil through the sky above a city and then ignited it to rain literal holy fire onto the populace
I would have put the self-genocide of the Necrontyr for the Necrons. The best crime against humanity are the self-inflicted ones.
Man, I sure do love buying high-quality poorhammer merch

honestly wardog is a d- well deserved since some of them are regular knight pilots locked in to be tormented by daemons
Eric was a purple orc all along?! WHO COULDA SEEN THAT COMING!
Everyone's having fun until the Aeldari deploy the distortion cannons and send your souls directly to hell
Goddammit, I was fully expecting the Thousand Sons Helbrute to make the list
Thousand Sons got robbed, by using the Flamers instead of that thing
Im all for the meme, had me rolling, but I did want to mention a cool thing about Chaos Knights. They have at times used a virus called the Conqueror Wyrm to corrupt all mechanical or enhanced things that hear it, and that feels like a small oopsie whoopsie
in the book dearhwatch shadowbreaker by steve parker the tau worked alongside an inquisitor to intentionally make tau genestealer and do experiments on them to try and find a way to make people immune to becoming infected by genestealers, thats a bit of a better warcrime than what yall found i think
The orks entry really should be all the horrible things they do to you with squigs
