The Vostroyan Firstborn are Imperial Guard Regiments. Vostroya is a world in the Halo Zone beyond the Eye of Terror, which swore allegiance to Mars during the Age of Strife. It is now ruled by a committee of Techtriarchs, a mix of Mechanicus Magi and more traditional Imperial planetary government. During the Horus Heresy, Vostroya refused to provide regiments to the Emperor, preferring instead to reserve the population in the manufactoria blanketing the world. After the Heresy, the Vostroyans, out of guilt, agreed to supply every family's firstborn son to service with the Imperial Guard

As one of the seven die hard Vostroya fans, I approve this message
As one of the seven, I too approve
As one of the seven Tallarn fans, i'm so happy for you and can't wait for an episode on my sandy boys
Hello my fellow firstborn
Greetings to the other seven, now that we have found eachother we can at long last begin the struggle to get gw to bring them back
@@thewitch7342 hey, there's like a whole 12 of us... I don't wanna make light of the Vostybois' plight.
That said, fuck I love sand.
Cadian child pops out and they go "here's a gun, fight that tiger"
Catachan child pops out they go "here's a knife, kill the commissar"
Vostroyan child pops out and they are picked up by the Commissar and told "Hello Cousin, let me take you to your Uncle!"
Krieg Child pops out and they go “here’s a shovel, dig the trenches”
Tallarn child pops out and goes to hide in the sand. Both parents are very proud, but then have to go find him.
A Tanith child pops out and becomes one with the trees
Garganus child pops out and IMMEDIATELY begins hunting commander farsight
In stoopid cadia, they lost their planet
In stoopid catachan, they csnt control their planet
In mother vestroya, we control our planet and still have a planet
Don't tempt games workshop! 😂😂
In stoopid krieg, we hate our planet and ourselves
@@markhorst94 KABOOM!
In Mother Vostroya, Planet loses you!
I just love the idea of a regiment where both low and highborn fight side by side along with their family, with handcrafted weapons made by their own family. That and the hats. God I love the hats
Ah yes, the Vostroyan Drip Troops. Only the best gear, the best guns, and wooden furniture on an ice world with few trees.
There's this thing called "importing", it's how they get most of their food too.
“My fate was decided by my parents. They fought hard, racing against their siblings, married second but only by a month. They conceived first and I was a son, a firstborn son. My task? To carry the honor of my family, to join the finest regiment in the Imperium, I was to be a Vostroyan Firstborn! My weapon, an heirloom of the finest construction! The filigree on the stock, the enhanced scope, the well worn trigger that needed caressing, not yanking. My sword is of the finest alloy, it had cut swathes of fire before it reached my care.
I am an officer, I am a soldier, I am Vostroyas pride, I am her guilt, I am her price, I am her wrath.
I served under my uncle, he was a fine soldier, a better officer, a born leader of men. I learned a lot from him!”
FOR THE HONOR OF OUR WORLD!
FOR THE BLOOD OF OUR FAMILY!
FOR THE TEARS OF OUR MOTHERS, THE PRIDE OF OUR FATHERS, AND THE LOVE OF OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS, WE FIGHT!
Wait, wouldn't they get sent to the regiment even if the child of their aunt and uncle would have been there before them? Like, they are still the firstborn of their parents, would that not count?
@@RookieR48 the situation would go like this:
Couple marries, have 2 kids, the first go to the Guard, the second stay, marry, have 2 kids, the first go to the Guard to his Uncle's regiment, the second stay, marry, have 3 children, the first go to the Guard, the other 2 stay, marry, they have 5 kids each (good times), the first child of each (they are cousins) go to the Guard to the regiment of their Uncle and Granduncle, the rest stay, and the process go on and on...
And why this happens? Simple: the Vostroyan had, in its entire history since start of what I call "The Penance", only raised 7 REGIMENTS. They didn't create more - they just keep reinforcing them (in fact, they are one of the few regiments that do that), which create a societal custom of entire families linked to a certain Regiment.
@@Jamhael1 yeah, thatÄs how I understood it. Firstborn child of every couple goes to the gurad. But the quote makes it sound like it's only the firsborn of every generation
This quote sold me on the Vostroyans
I get the feeling Guilliman only meant the firstborn of that generation, but obvious administratium rules lawyering happened.
The part about it being only one generation was missfiled, under agriculture. Now it's illegal for any world in the Imperium to grow more than one generation of broccoli.
Probably
He actually didn't. He knew it would be a harsh punishment, and instilled it into them. I don't think he actually thought the galaxy was going to be at war perpetually, and would keep recruiting the firstborn for 10,000+ years...
Cause Big E was going to reign eternal, and bring humanity into a golden age with no enemies to fight...
Goddamn it Magnus...
You're confusing Girlyman with Vulkan. The former's a jerkass with a love of the knife-ears, the latter's a gigachad with a literally burning hatred of the same.
@gingermcgingin4106 imagine calling one of the few kind primarchs a jerkass smh
"And so, in the name of the Omnissiah and the Emperor, I officially declare this fffFFFFUCKING PARTY STARTED!"
*Protivogaz starts blasting*
STORY TIME: Back when I played the Only War TTRPG's, one of the regiments you could pick were the Vostroyan Firstborn. We didn't end up playing as them, but the GM did make a bunch of NPC guardsmen who were Vostroyan. And he based them all on Russian Call of Duty characters.
We had Viktor Reznov, Dimitri Petrenko, Nikolai Belinski, and Chernov. And they were the sole survivors of their regiment that had been decimated by a combination of Orks and Tyranids. And they all had the same personalities as their CoD counterparts.
By the end of session three all except Chernov had died (the dice weren't on their side), but each one went out like a badass. Reznov drove a tank into a tyranid swarm before being overturned and crushed by a Carnifex, Dimitri was sniping Ork Boyz to cover our retreat before getting torn apart by a Killa Kan, and Nikolai went out in a blaze with molotov cocktails made with Space Wolf mead (long story tied to our Deathwatch game) and blew up an entire warehouse full of equal parts Orks and Nids.
Poor Chernov was left alive with so much trauma and mementos from each one, and now had the hard task of not only making sure all three would be remembered, but also making sure their deaths were not in vain. They weren't, and we would later learn in a post-campaign epilogue he survived long enough to become commander of his own Voystroyan regiment called "Sons of the Hoarfrost."
only war gives us magnificent player stories
NIKOLAI MENTIONED RAAAAH
Just fyi Petrenko is a Ukrainian last name
@@d-pod_Lwell yes but there are lots of people living in Russia/identifying as Russian with last names that are Ukrainian/have Ukrainian origins. It fits
Kinda ironic that chernov being the first russian friendly character to die in the call of duty series but in the grimdark he's the one who is left alive. What a twist!
The Vostroyans went toe to toe with the The Tau on Nimbosa. Their heirloom weapons, known for their accuracy; was able to match the range of the Tau. They fought so courageously that that the population would then resist the Tau long enough for a crusade fleet to come back and free them. Love the Vostroyans!
Man, they are just the coolest regiment of guards, like my god. I love their stylish red uniforms and their heirloom weaponry. I just love their drip with crimson red and goldish accents. Its awesome that they defended Nimbosa against the Tau with just handcrafted weapons with care and quality-thats something, man! I really wanted GW to expand that specific guard regiment; it's criminal that they didn't get as much love, but I understand that they can't do it with every guard regiment, only some that actually "sell well," I guess.
25:29
Note the direction of the Tau with his helmet stabbed through by a defensive spike.
These Tau charged the Guard.
They actually went in for melee themselves 😂
Well they are on a imperial planet by the looks of it, so my assumption is commies landed trying to spread greater good, brawl started by a loyal son, and i mean son literally, as in 10 year old boy (possibly bringing his guard dad his corpse starch ration), of the Imperium showing the Tau in melee how greater good is spread to xenos on a ruined building part as that doesnt look like a defensive spike from lack of actual hooks and the fact that its sticking out a broken part of some wall.
They waited while Imperium burned. Now, they must repay their sin through firstborn and supplies of weapons to the Imperium. Sounds to me they got off real easy compared to other guard planets.
No, they didn't. Their tithe was weapons, they paid it. They got punished for not taking the initiative to go to Terra to fight Horus.
@@yaelz6043no, they basically received a draft request and disobeyed it
@@floricel_112 to be fair, Vostroya is largely under Mechanicus Influence and they probably didn't want to lose it
@@simplewrites Massive reason here. It's the reason their coats are red because of their allegiance to the Mechanicum/ Mechanicus.
@@floricel_112 if your government tells you to both do your factory job AND go to the front you are not at fault when you pick one or the other.
As a Slav, I'm very happy my Space Kozac boys got an episode
Kudos to you and your European folk!
There was a book where one character was secretly not a firstborn, his brother was special needs, so he took his place when the recruiter came around.
Name of the book?
Surprised the Imperium lets "special" kids live.
@@prestonjones1653 I very much doubt most of them do but in the same omnibus another story (15 Hours) there is a janitor who is described as crippled and feeble minded that the propaganda officer contemplates blaming his lack of good news for the news paper on so that the commissar will shoot him instead. He drops the idea because the other propaganda officers were always kind to the special guy and would never let him get away with it.
Oh! Now I'm curious of which book that is
@@Kyla-Stormhazard It was part of the imperial guard omnibus. I think it was Rebel Winter.
Another huge part of Vostroyan regiments is that Vostroya sends each regiment reinfoments
Shame they didn't mention it 😔
What a novel idea!
@@Zach-er1rm To be fair it is hard to ship regiments through the whole galaxy.
Most other regiments just fight until they are destroyed, merge with other regiments from their home planet or settle a planet through the right of conquest.
@@arnekrug939 I'll admit you've got me there, foiled again by logistics lol
@@Zach-er1rm Yeah, I think this is one of the oddities of the Imperium that sounds stupid as first but actually has a good in universe explanation.
After all, warp travel is unreliable and dangerous.
I humbly offer shy the MVP Award for her contributions to the community on this day and all before it.
GW has a canon Feudal Japan/Samurai regiment, the Tekarn Iron Fist. This is something I want to see maybe a 3rd party make models for because GW will probably never get to them.
Thanks for the info!
They’re not canon. But they are cool looking.
Fun fact GW made the vostroyan first born because they felt too much of the exsisting guard range was too much WW2 style and they wanted a more sci-fi grim dark army so they made the vostroyan firstborn.
Ahhh, yes. Far too much WW2 influence from their existing WW2 model line. Gotta throw some Napoleonic influence from their existing Napoleonic model line! They're just Cossacks with badass gas masks and Hard Bass
@@SomeHumanIGuess Slavs & Hardbass are timeless, just as God intended. > Source: I am a Slav
"We already have the Red Russians, let's throw in the White Russians too!"
How "Too much of the existing guard range was WW2 style"? They were around since proxy-in-toys from back in the 80s and 90s popular shows were lineout traced (and some popular army images) for sketch pages in the 2nd edition primers.
Half the sample regiment origins are movie references.
You say that like it's a bad thing. the Tsarist aesthetic slaps hard.
This regiment is soooooo ripe for lore. The generational service alone opens up all kinds of possibilities relating to bloodlines and illegitimate children that feeds into the fierce loyalty of the troops.
Vostroyan got that good old survivalist mentality when it comes to children. "Two is one, one is none"
You guys covering the Vostroyan means the absolute world to me. Couldnt help but fall in love with them after reading Rebel Winter.
What is that book about?
@@Dracobyte A rebellion in winter
After the Zach Snyder comment, I’m fully in the camp that as much as Bricky hates them, the way he looks at things he enjoys vs the ones he doesn’t, he is very much Eldar in attitude. Which as he previously mentioned, would make him a class B personality in Disco Elysium. Full circle.
ID RATHER BE A DRUNK THAN A RACIST!
*successful hit*
33:44 More than that, Ivan the Terrible (But closer "Ivan the Fearsome") made a military reform which included:
Mandatory military service of firstborn men
Higher ranking positions of said men if they came from noble families
A separate division of "Strelec" regiments which were special for their usage of unique firearms
Fun fact: "Strelec" soldiers also carried berdyshes (Tall axes) not only as melee weapons, but to use as bipods for their rifles. And now i want to collect guard Shy what have you done
The fact that Bricky tripped up and accidentally just said "the Guard" when talking about the Cadians in a list of different Guard regiments is a wonderful example of how the Cadians are basically the default Imperial Guard.
I have now become a Vastroyan fan. The concept of, "Brother, I have cleaned, checked, double checked, disassembled, and reassembled every part of this gun. It will not fail you. I have patched your armour and refitted your mask. Do us proud and return safe." Vs everyone is guard, heres a factory standard gun, forget your name, forget your family.
"That lasgun is also an axe" Ancient Terran Russians of the 1500s using a bardiche axe to mount muskets for more accuracy: "Based."
Also, I look forward to the discussion on the upcoming novel "Morvenn Vahl: Spear of Faith" AKA Night Lords vs Sisters, AKA the book designed for Bricky himself
In reality they were more of a weirdly shaped bayonet, then whatever nightmare was on that picture.
@@DrNiradino oh no, this wasn't the axe head mounted to the gun, this was an axe with a crook in it that the Russians would use as a stand for their muskets
Look up the Polish gun axe
For Tanith fans like me, there is a Tanith command squad with Gaunt, Korbec, Bragg, and Larkin and one other. Sadly there’s no normal Tanith troopers
That is a shame.
Time to watch "Vostroyan Charge" by Karl the Deranged again.
I have some of those old Vostroyan minis and they're actually some of my favorites. For old metal sculpts, I actually think they look pretty neat.
"Protivogaz" song intensifies.
As a weird neurodivergent who’s special interest is pre Peter the great Russia and the strelsty
I can confirm that the Vostroyan Firstborn were made in a lab to be my exact form of crack.
Never thought I’d see the day that Vostroyans got a full episode before Tempestus Scions, but still very nice to see more obscure guard love.
as a Canadian I can confirm that the picture at 7:38 is indeed accurate, you may now carry on with your day.
In a way this episode is fairly Christmas-ish. Vostroyan Firstborns are on a snow covered planet, its untied family members of generations fighting together, the remaining family members custom make their the Firstborn's weapons and give them to them and the Vostroyan Firstborn's uniforms are gold & red. So I'd this episode was pretty Christmasy.
Aside from a Sanguinala episode in the future maybe....
Да, I am one of 7 Vostroya fans... this makes me happy.
I love these guys an their Imperial Russia/Cossack feel. Also, Waterbuffalo? At least in real life those kind of hats would be made of bearskin and referred to as such. So Vostroya probably has some bear equivalent on their planet.
They got horse sized mutant dogs that hunts in pairs. It's not uncommon for kids to be snatched off the streets . 2 of them killed a 5-man armed party in ambush.
They are such an issue that pest exterminators actually got pay decent enough to afford a flat for an 8-person family. That's like better than most of the Imperium can afford
I though Vostroyan were inspired by Prussia (old Austria).
@@Dracobyte That's Mordian
Episode Suggestion:
- An episode entirely dedicated to all the instances that Games Workshop has reused the same and/or similar names.
Example:
Will of Eternity - Blackstone Fortress
Spirit of Eternity - DAoT AI ship that hated humanity after time traveling to 40k to save the race from Chaos
Eternity Gate - Imperial Palace entrance on Terra
Eternity Gate - Necron Portal mounted on Monolith to transport troops across/between worlds.
Well of Eternity - Portal in the Warp that Kaitos Fateweaver was thrown in.
The Blade of Eternity - TheBlade of Infinity is also referred to as the Blade of Eternity.
Echoes of Eternity - Siege of Terra Novel
Knights of Eternity - Loyalist space Marines chapter
Blades Eternal - Loyalist Space Marines chapter
Accursed Eternity- ebook available from Games Workshop
Just like the Iron Hands Spaces Marines, led by Ferrous Manus with his hands of Iron on their Flagship the Fist of Iron, who have thankfully never had to fight the Men of Iron.
Or all of the different uses of “Angel” in 40k, like the Dark Angels, the other chapter of the Emperor’s Angels of Death.
And their successor chapters the
Angels of Descent
Angels of Solemnity
Angels of Sorrow
Angels of the Hunt
Angels of the Lion
Cobalt Angels
Keep in mind, the Dark Angels are not to be confused with the Fallen Dark Angels, traitors from the Horus Heresy.
And there’s the Red Angel Angron, vs the Blood Angels chapter, led by the angel-winged Primarch Sanguinius, the Great Angel and their successor chapters the
Angels Vermillion,
Angels Encarmine,
Angel's Litany
Angels Celestial
Angels Nemesis
Angels of Anguish
Angels of Rebirth
Angels of the Cruciform Grail
Angels of the Voracious Chalice
Angels of Ulan
Angels Palatine
Angels Repentant
Angels Vampiric
Angels Vehement
Blissful Angels
Angels Carmine
Death Angels
Storm Angels
Or the short stories of A Lesson In Purpose: A Knights Angelicus Story or
A World Fallen - A Knights Angelicus Story
And this should not be confused with the Angel, also called the Sleeper and the Angel of Destruction, a powerful weapon created and used by the Emperor during the Unification Wars,
Or be confused with The Angel, which is the High Gothic name for an immeasurably powerful creature of Aeldari Mythology.
Not to mention all the different uses of “Knight”, “Blood”, and oh, did we talk about the Space Wolves and all the instances/names using “Wolf” in their books?
Just to name few.
Just a suggestion.
You could make it a trivia show where you read a name and DK has to guess what it refers to in the lore.
There's a guy in my local scene who plays Vostroyans. His army looks so different than everything else, it's amazing
You know I really wanna suggest you guys cover my favorite regiment, the Harakoni Warhawks, next time you guys do a random guard regiment. But I’m afraid they might not have enough lore lol
Do the Warhawks have that much lore? Elysians probably have just enough lore to do a whole episode on. Maybe warhawks could be featured in it too as a combined episode.
What is their lore?
@@gokbay3057 yeah that’s exactly my point, they have like 2 paragraphs of lore total which essentially just says they are Elysians but better drop troops, they have a very high rate of conscription to the tempestus scions, and that they live on a world with ridiculously tall hive spires, even taller than usual, and hunt vapourwyrms. That’s about all ive heard, but the kasrkin minis that were shown in the episode were painted in the harakoni warhawks color scheme
@chronosaiyan1953 I think I read one of their short books and they mention they have a high corsair and piracy problem in their sector. This causes them to constantly go on rapid strikes and incursions to dislodge hold outs and raze bases leading to a high amount of veterans in their regiments.
@@gokbay3057Along with the Midgardian Sky Raiders
Vahallan info is rather out of date. They did indeed used to be a blatant red army expy who really hated orks but since they're the focus regiment for the Cain books they've since had some more love. Colonel Regina Kasteen is one of the best guard characters not called Yarrick and it's criminal that she hasn't got a mini yet like the Ghosts did.
Good to know that!
Immediately gave a like after their hilarious reaction to the Warhammer 40k "The Snyder Cut".
Yeah...
I got a quote for you.
"It is often joked, that the eloborate mustache is just as much part of the uniform as their kit bag." ~Emberly Vale
The concept of the Vostroyans dedicating their craft to their firstborn descendants is fascinating
Love it, they deserve more attention
My BFF is currently kitbashing and green stuff sculpting a full vostroyan army. He kitvashed the kaserkin units and gave them long coats and the hats. They look great so far
Thank you for your sacrifice Shy, and Happy holidays to all.
"Son, you're going to war, to serve the Imperium and our planet. I spent the last five years building this lasgun for you; and this armor, to keep you safe as you go far from home. Emperor protect you son, and know that your family's hard work is always with you by your side."
On tonight's episode of The Ridiculous Tour:
Bricky's voice is muffled the entire time because he pulled his Vostroyan hat down too far, he could have said _anything_
DK spends the entire episode talking about a specific Vostroyan card game
And Shy is in a hammock, not paying any attention to all this, and can you blame her?
All this to come after the break!
There is definitely a lot of streltsy influence in the vostroyans alongside the whole 18th century Russian grenadier look… that axe/lasgun combo reminds me of how the streltsy were trained to fire their arquebuses using their bardiches (big axes) as stands
What if you have twins? One pops out before the other. That’s why Mario is considered Luigi’s older brother.
You forgot Tallarn! The guard regiment that single handedly fended off the Iron Warriors.
"LALALALALALALALA! FUCK HERETICS!" - Tallarn war cry
thank you shy we appreciate you and all you do for these two Doofuses
SQUATS FOR THE EMPEROR!!!
first two minutes:
Bricky: i got food posioning over the holidays... (jokes) from eating a parasite.
what i heard: Bricky eats a tyranid while on vacation and has to purge the xeno from his stomach.
Bricky hating Snyder is like, the only normal human take he has ever had on anything
Finally another guard episode!
As a Jurgen simp I am devastated you call Valhallan's boring, at least you chose a good substitute.
Several years ago, I read a 40k book called Rebel Winter. It featured the Vostroyan Firstborn VS the Orks and rebels. I remember the characters being pretty good even if the main plot wasn't super interesting.
AS one of Seven Vostroyan Fans, love to see this! Bout time our boys got some representation!
flamboyant, the word you were looking for was flamboyant, Bricky
This podcast keeps making me consider my faborite flavornof each faction, the vostryan have become my #1 guard regiment.
Glad they pointed out that 10 hours is a light shift for the Imperium. I was like "Wtf, I work more than that..."
All praise to Shy. Enjoy your vacation
The one premier I never would want to miss. Dang it! The Vostroyan Firstborn are my favorite Guard regiment. I love their lore, their drip, their ideology, their facial hair, love them a lot. Favorite regiment bar none.
I guess nergal wanted to wish bricky a Merry Christmas
Props to Guilliman for being ruthless/merciful enough to impose such a barbaric (& surprisingly light by 40k standard) penalty on Vostroya. Not only is it lenient, it creates a whole culture around war, heritage, and manages to inspire pride among the populace.
The best part about Rebel Moon is that it was orginally pitched as a Star Wars movie and Lucasfilm rejected it more that once, and they weren't the only ones to reject it. Warner Bros also rejected it a couple times. This thing is a twisted abomination of random sci-fi bits that Snyder stitched together into something worthy of the flesh sculpters of the Drukhari. And just like the poor victims of the Haemonculi covens, it's absolute agony as it writhes across our screens is truly horrific to behold. He dragged it around showing it to the various studios for years making slight alterations until he found somebody who would pay him subject everyone to this horror. And the worst part is somebody decided he needed to make two of them.
Shy MVP for getting this out in one day. That said, "Lay on me" had me laughing at your expense. Enjoy your new year!
Today's been a real shit day, but I get to hear about my favourite guard regiment, so thanks. And your right about the hats
Thank-you shy, and the lads have a wonderful new years.
Congratulations you made me into a Vostroya fan
I wish there was a more variety of Imperial Guard models, other than Cadia or Krieg.
As the 8th fan of 7 of the Vostroyan Firstborn, the lore for them is criminally underrepresented.
Bricky's comparison is the Hellgast's. For me; the Protect Gear from Jin-Roh.
The dystopian anime of the Wolves?
@@Dracobyte That's Wolf's Rain or something like that.
Jin-Roh is alternate WW2 where Germany steam rolls Russia and invaded Japan and now the war is over; Japan has these protect gear troopers to deal with the uprisings.
I'm so glad you made a vid on the Vostroya. Definitely appropriate for the season.
I'm not one of the seven Vostroyan fans, but I do approve of the wide variety of Guard regiments told by the lore, and condemn GW for failing to support their own lore with current miniatures.
Great episode y’all thanks for the quality and fun content every time you work so hard to bring us.
happy new years much love from Texas 🤠
Fuck yeah baby, best looking guard regiment out there, and honestly one of the most wholesome as well. I'd die if they were given dedicated units.
I never had a favorite imperial guard regiment.
Thanks for givin me the Vostroyans.
Also
Vostroyan Family:
Mon - your old brother\sister is somewere kicking ass and you never gonna be as good as hin\her.
2ª child - "forever danmed to live on the shadow of its old brother\sister"
I swear, you guys get me through the week. I always look forward to Wednesdays
My favourite piece of Vostroyan artwork has to be the parody of "Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks"
Thank you very much, Shy. I love your work
If GW actually did a Vostroyan Furstborn Range Refresh, I WOULD LEGITIMATELY BITE THE BULLET TO MY WALLET AND START A GUARD ARMY! I couldn’t give LESS OF A FUCK about Cadia, and I’ve met enough straight up Nazis who play Krieg, that it’s sort of tainted their image for me (if you like Krieg and AREN’T a straight up Nazi, AWESOME! I’m glad you found a faction you enjoy). But the Vostroyan Aesthetic, the Lore, THE VIBE! These guys have the most distinct Subfaction Identity I’ve seen since the Space Wolves, and it pisses me off to no end that GW isn’t making their models anymore!
Ay the Vostroyans, my favourite guard regiment. I love pure style of these guys, the lore, and the historical inspiration. Love them the most followed by the Krieg. Gonna be a good episode.
Oh , man. The enemy, the chaos, must love finding one of thoes fancy guys
The Vostroyan are my favorite regiment of the guard, which is mostly the reason I haven’t picked up guard in my time playing the game. Might eventually 3d print like a kill-team maybe. Excited for this episode, they’re just little Firstborn.
First born definitely lose a lot of interest and design elements by simply getting rid of the hats. I understand with old models and art work they don’t look great but plenty art especially one like wolfdawg art has done they work so perfectly especially with the masks that it would be a crime to not have them
25:00 that also poses an interesting idea since the vostroyan would also be generationally trained with the weapons they use, making them more effective than a guardsman issued a plasma gun out of no where for the first time in his life.
The Vostroyans feel like the closest thing to the Empire from fantasy that exists in 40K.
Waiting for DK to admit "Bloopers *when* they happen".
It is good to see one of the second string regiments get the spotlight. Especially when they used to be bigger. Now I ask of you, can we please have an episode on the Talarn Dessert Raiders?
Wonderful work Shy!
I love the Vostroyans, they are the perfect aesthetic for the guard
This is it. I have found my favourite guard regiment. By far.
7:37 If I'd known you'd be outside my house taking pictures, I'd have offered you a warm drink.
Perhaps I'm not one of those 7 mega fans, but the Voystroyans are super cool. I plan to make a platoon of every range someday, but the Vostroyans might get to join the Steel Legion and get a full company.
Thank you so much to shy for coming thru on vacation so we could still have a episode on time we appreciate you!
Wanna some Proxis to play Vostroyans? Look at Wargame Atlantic’s « Les Grognards » from their Deathfield line of minis!!!
They works wonders as they are but can also be improved with Kit-bashing!!!
Dam bricky got food poisoning christmas eve and i got sick Christmas night those micro organisms are out to get us
Merry Christmas Adeptus ridiculous
Just Imagining a firstborn mixed regiment serving alongside their first child they have in the guard and all their additional kids being sent back to vostroya.
Their nickname: "The Warblood".
They are the evidence that love INDEED blooms in a battlefield...
18:16 I love my space cossack hats! How dare you!!!
I considered the Vostrayans before becoming a Krieger, so they hold a special place in my heart :)
