@@cheesemeister9610 I think Nergal would be the only one even tempted. "Blood for the blood god" and all, he wants heroics, not job lots. There is no "sacrifice" when you are dealing with people who do not care if they die, only if they win. They talk like Kriegsman just want to suicide... Not quite. They want to win more than they want to live.
@bigbenhoward I mean it is the Death Corp and I have no doubt one of them has tried it at some point and died while another guardsman succeeded killing whatever killed the first
I remember reading the short story about how death korps of krieg once level an entire Hive city with just artilery and thought it was a funny joke story, then i saw Vraks...
For some reason, when I heard Arch say that Tyborc came out still clutching the flamer, all I could think of was Tyborc saying "This is mine now. It kept us alive, and killed many traitors, so it is mine now."
Yo, I heard you liked defences, so I put defences inside your defences... Then I put some more defences inside those defences... and added some more defences on top of those defences. Then when I was done adding more defences amongst all the new defences I went back and upgraded the older defences. Feeling inclined to add more defences to the now-modernized defences I added some more defences. That was all well and dandy but truly more defences could be improved the defences of all the older defences, bringing the defences back up to tolerable standards of defences. Later that very same day, my commander passed by and told me to improve those defences because clearly the defences were not nearly good enough! So I continued to add even more defences for my new and improved defences. The following day my commander came by and agreed that the new defences were solid but more defences could not be dismissed so he gave me a plan to add even more defences to my original defences, an outstanding plan and I got right to it and started adding even more defences. So I heard you liked defences, so I added some more defences.

Low Energy Videos the cardinal was from the start advised and goaded on his crusade by deacon mamon. A full blown chaos worshipper right from the start, a nurglite demon prince by the end of it (and he escaped). Is it any wonder they went full chaos? By the time Vraks fell, the cardinal was no more than a figure-head.
@@Asherony totally but they would need some deeeep prodding. Not to say it could not happen though...I mean in the current timeline ANYTHING can be ANYTHING.....*sigh* Pappa Arch, remind us of better times!
Thats kind of the point. Vraks, especially early on, is basically lifted directly from WW1. Like the initial assault's in lore description is the Battle of Somme given a 40k makeover, complete with walking in lines shoulder to shoulder against suppossedly destroyed defenses that, shock, are fully operational
I hope that what was left of the 9th Company got recognized for their incredibly badass actions. Being Kriegers, I'm sure that they would consider cooler weapons and reassignment to an even more dangerous part of the line as an excellent reward.
As someone who's getting his degree in history in 5 days, I extremely appreciate your ability to give a campaign an in depth analysis. You could make an excellent historian.
I’m watching these Vrax videos, gaining an ever-firmer grasp of the Death Korps’ character, and suddenly an idea appears in my brain: If through some kind of warp shenanigans a regiment of Death Korps guardsmen got to fight alongside some pre-heresy Deathguard, I bet they’d be the best of battle-buddies. Even an Astartes of the Deathguard should admire the Death Korps’ utter tenacity; them Krieg boys have the stiffest of stiff upper lips.
3 years later and I've come back to this. Dispite all of your controversy (most of which is blown out of proportion) your 40k lore and story telling is on point.
40k is one of the few science fiction settings that does planetary invasion right. It shows just how ridiculously massive the undertaking is, and all the resources and time required to accomplish it. It take years to pacify a planet, then years more to rebuild it, and that is after years of careful planning and allocation of unthinkable amounts of resources.
Let us take a moment to apreciate the art work in this video the last pice of our imperial heros emerging battered but proud into the happy welcoming arms of their brothers in arms is perfect it feels real
I’ve been coming back to this series maybe once a year since it’s been out, and the krieg engineer (or infantrymen I could be mistaken) running the vraks defender through with the wire cutters always gets me smirking thinking: “those damn kriegsmen just having a grand ol’ time”
Maybe orks? Ironically enough they seem to have the most healthy religion with a few priests but not overzelous in worship of gork and mork or whatever their names are
The illustration in this case was a little confusing, at least initially. I think a little more time might have been spent panning pan up to the the second line.

honestly loving the series and videos you send out. I want to hear more stories about the imperium fighting other races and battles against the xenos even when they allied. your channel gives me videos and stories like that. Thumbs up
Someone else I follow on the internet brought up the idea of a TV show starring the Imperial Guard. He described it as "Band of Brothers in the 41st millennium". I know this would go better under the previous video, but this story seems like a perfect fit for the show he described.
Oof! just imagine if somebody would introduce Krieg artillery guys with Phosphex bombs from 31M, things would burn into a crisp after year or 2 bombardment with that stuff.
I'm a wee bit confused. As I understand it, the story so far is that Vraks got hit by a wave of religious fervour, but it was faith in the Emperor and the Cardinal as His emissary. Why, then, does the artwork feature the 8-pointed star of Chaos?
And technically the worship of chaos has started. They just don't really realize it. It's like eating a potato chip it's just a little snack one or two is fine. It's not tell later you realise you ate at least half the bag

Your videos are always top of the line and informative, not to mention enjoyable, I love it.
Merry Christmas btw ❤
Arch: "There's a difference between sacrifice and suicide"
Kriegsmen: "THERE IS???¡¡¡"
honestly loving the series and videos you send out. I want to hear more stories about the imperium fighting other races and battles against the xenos even when they allied. your channel gives me videos and stories like that. Thumbs up
This is a ton of fun to listen to. Thanks for posting it!
Pleaseeee moreeee I love the Death Korps and even more the story time videos you create
Netflix, I have a proposal for your next animated masterpiece right here.
Vraxian: Noo you can't use bolt cutters as a melee weapon!
Krieger: Ha, traitor innards go squish!
I am loving this series. One thing I enjoy about the guard is the similarities to conventional warfare. Krieg is also one of my favorite armies.
The trench fighting alone would make for a great and tense fps game...
Someone else I follow on the internet brought up the idea of a TV show starring the Imperial Guard. He described it as "Band of Brothers in the 41st millennium". I know this would go better under the previous video, but this story seems like a perfect fit for the show he described.
I would watch it
Charge! Let's find out if the imperial maps are still usefull about the position of their minefields!
Great job arch. It's so much easier to understand when you explain it!! Don't stop
Your storytelling is exceptional Arch I cannot understate how much I enjoy listening to your lore while painting
13:50 the right backpack is a happy easter Island head - I cant unsee it now.
If the ninth company ends up reforming then that flamer is going to be one of their most valued pieces of equipment
Oof! just imagine if somebody would introduce Krieg artillery guys with Phosphex bombs from 31M, things would burn into a crisp after year or 2 bombardment with that stuff.
I really love this series, it's basically an Audiobook :) thanks for doing the effort to make this
I'm a wee bit confused. As I understand it, the story so far is that Vraks got hit by a wave of religious fervour, but it was faith in the Emperor and the Cardinal as His emissary.
Why, then, does the artwork feature the 8-pointed star of Chaos?
maybe its explained later or just a representation what side is show to us for easier understanding.
Both
And technically the worship of chaos has started. They just don't really realize it. It's like eating a potato chip it's just a little snack one or two is fine. It's not tell later you realise you ate at least half the bag
Merry Christmas Arch! Thank you so much for your work!
well done, thats a very nice cliff hanger on the end. So far brilliant series enjoying every episode.
Me: Lord General, do we need to capture this fortress intact?
Lord General: Not.....precisely..............
Me: Good. Let's drop a Cobra Class Destroyer on the damn thing.
Lord General and Staff: YOU WANT TO DO WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
That was the most exciting part so far and it only just the beginning.
Your vids are great to listen to while painting. Thanks dude.
Well, after seeing the Wolf's Corner videos on Vraks, this offers a nice perspective on the whole grindfest ! Keep it up, Inquisitor ! :)
Loving the series, and then the beautiful blurry figures in trenched and waiting.
Man! This is honestly very well done, I think you could count it as a form of art!
This is beautiful art.
This is the best Christmas present I could have asked for...Thank you Arch !!
I hope we can get a gray knights video in your style it would be nice
