I want an April Fool's Behind the Bastards episode where Robert just talks about a specific Primarch or the Emperor himself as if they're a real person and he's hosting a podcast in the far future
100% would listen to a 6 part series on the primarchs 🤣. Would be a good way to get some time off for the team too since he already knows as much about warhammer as fascists. Lol
Fucking right? The first time I tried to watch this, I had to stop because the disembodied voice that tells me about bad people was coming out of an entire human being who moves around and has expressions.
It works just like BtB too - Robert explains to the uninitiated and unsuspecting, and every time they're shocked/surprised by something Robert's response is basically hahaha, oh that's not the half of it
I love how extremely nerdy Robert is! Occasionally there will be an extremely obscure D&D lore reference and he'll say "that was for like...9 people out there..." and I think "Well, at least there are 8 other people that got it..."
Tom: "In another 20 minutes, I might be done with this..." Robert: "Good, I've got at least another 20 minutes of lore to talk about." Video: *Three and a Half hours left*
I remember watching this live, I started maybe an hour and a half after it started and it took me quite a while to figure out what was going on, but it was clearly the pinnacle of entertainment.
Reminds me of the lovely dude who used to babysit my son when I worked nights. I’d come to pick him up around 11pm, and instead of being asleep in bed, he’d be up playing D&D, Munchkin and the like. I think I was supposed to be annoyed as a responsible parent, but I would end up getting drawn in to the game and not leaving until 1am. My son and I are still friends with him and his whole family.
Robert: There's no oceans anymore they all boiled away years ago. Dave: So this is where we're heading as a society. We're hurddling towards Warhammer. Robert: It's a more plausible picture than Star Trek TNG
He did get the timeline wrong though, Warhammer Fantasy battle came out first, and 40k first had planets named after Icecream flavours and was more or less Fantasy battle.. IN SPACE! But really yeah.. I'd love a behind the bastards special about Warhammer 40k's leaders :P. Eldrad Ulthran, Asrubael Vect, the Emperor, some of the Waaghbosses. It be hilarious in it's own right :).
I think him doing a Ham podcast would be amazing. It would be a way for him to relax after talking about real bastards. It could be called "Bastards 40k"
The most succinct description of 40K I've ever heard. "the emperor is an abusive father" and "everyone is worse than Hitler". Yup. That's pretty much the gist.
It's like the game where you choose two words to make the most awesome thing you can imagine, and then your opponent adds a third word which makes it bad. So egalitarian utopia, by slavery.
Oh man, if you dug this (and haven't already listened to the Big Trouble in Tangoyandcashia series), check out the Big Trouble in Tangoyandcashia series. I remember being super bummed after Cracked was nuked, but it was neat seeing how everyone approached building new things afterwards - and these were like a window into how it all was happening. Which isn't to say it's all for the best that all of these absurdly talented people lost their income and health insurance because some VC ghouls didn't know what they were doing.
1:28:10, the teef degrade over time, and also, the acquisition of teef is a byproduct of fighting, which is what the Orks REALLY love. So when you punch out another ork, and his teef hit the ground, you're basically robbing him and also being rewarded for winning. Which encourages them to fight and win and grow larger and buy better guns.
The Fabricator General is the chief gun whisperer. He's the best at whispering sweet nothings to your Bolt Gun to unjam it in the name of the Machine God.
As much as I enjoy watching Arch Warhammer videos on 40k, the creator is pretty far right leaning, quasi-fascist and I can't watch his videos that are not Warhammer 40k. Robert Evans is the opposite.
As someone that thinks 40k is awesome but felt like I could never get into it because of how vast it is, this is a great listen, Robert’s really great at explaining it.
It takes a minimum of 60 minutes to explain the skeleton of 40K, and even then you have to double back or jump to another branch as people ask questions.
@@TogashiShinkaze I thought there was a video out there of a guy trying to explain it in 10 minutes. The best way I could sum it up would be pretty reductive; "Mad libs of your favorite sci-fi and fantasy. Humans are run by a dogmatic cult worshiping a superhuman's corpse and stagnant technology. Orks are spore monsters that love to fight and can make things happen if they believe hard enough. The seven deadly sins are now evil dirties that only exist if people feel extremely enough, like the space elf orgy that spawned the god of lust..."etc.
Might sound a little odd, but when he mentioned that BtB couldn't even be announced yet it made me happy, as that kinda means he uses a pretty natural cadence and tone when doing the pod. Like I know he's in front of a camera and performing in this, but he already had it pretty much nailed.
I'm glad that Robert also thinks that the Orkz are the only good faction in Warhammer 40k. They are they only faction worth playing. They are flawless.
ive never been more certain that i would get along with Robert IRL lmao this video would have been twice as long if I had been a part of that conversation
So, weird note nobody cares about: at the 3:01:00 mark or thereabouts, Robert says they should be sponsored by some icelandic company that only makes lutefisk - and he says it's rotten. I think he means hakarl, which is rotten shark marinated in ammonia, which is icelandic. Lutefisk is cod cured in lye until it gets a bit.... wobbly. That's a norwegian thing, rather than icelandic.
I found I had this video on my "watch later" list for over 3 years, finally started to play it just as background filler... and it's goddamn amazing. Like I already follow Robert on most things, listen to many of his podcasts, and I support GU so am very used to Tom & Dave's antics here and elsewhere, but I'm still delighted by Robert's deep dive into WH, which I only knew a bit about, and Tom and Dave's reactions so far (only about an hour into it, will finish later today)
Only watched 20 minutes so far, but I think the one other major influence being missed on 40k is 2000AD. Judge Dredd & Nemesis the Warlock are other big things that fed into 40k. In some cases this is direct lifts (the Arbitrators are Judges from Judge Dredd, and the Inquisition is partly inspired by the antagonists from Nemesis), the visual style (particularly early 40k as it was sometimes even the same artists), and the whole "crapsack world" aspect, where the "good guys" are fucking horrendous and everything is awful, but it needs to be that way to stop it becoming even worse (but in 40k's case, this aspect it dialled up to 11).
What's hilarious is that the GW creators were actually too poor for Cocaine, instead they were running on 2000AD, scifi and enthusiasm. Surprisingly quite a few of them were gym bunnies as well!
My god, I used to play all this when I was a young'un and I thought I was a proper nerd who knew all about it but man alive I did not know 1% of the shit Robert's talking about - SO much nostalgia watching/listening to this.
Boy it is something else to realize that this guy who knows an obscenely nerdy amount about Warhammer 40k knows like 50% of what you know about it. I feel like I need to go reexamine my life.
Everyone forgets Dorn was there. He's probably still there now. They just forgot to pick him up after the battle. It's why he's not still around. "Hey, where's Royal?" "Probably in the Palace. You know how he gets around forts." "Seems legit."
Re cards vs dice: I've seen some games do this because they don't want people not familiar with wargaming to be put off by weird shaped dice-- *or* the game maker wants to cut costs (easier to mass produce cards than dice). It's almost never a good idea, they should usually stick with dice.
Middle, and late,r naming conventions in ancient Rome. Boys had . When parents ran out of the four or five personal names for boys traditionally used in a family, they just started giving them numbers. Quintus, Sextus, Septimus.... Some of those numerical personal names became family names if a younger son became famous. Girls didn't get personal names. They generally got a feminine version of the family name. So must of Gaius Julius Caesar's female relatives were called Julia Caesar.
One correction: I don't believe Alex Jones would be an Inquisitor. Dude is way too unstable, even if he was a Blank, to even be in a retinue. Guys like Alex Jones in 40k: Guarantee they are part of a Genestealer cult, by the look of him I'd say 3rd generation. He gets a voxcast, spreads some not-quite heresy, just enough to weaken trust in the Imperial Governor, the Arbites; the local institutions. All the while selling you on supplements. Except the supplements, after being consumed, release a chemical that other Genestealer hybrids and those implanted can smell. Knowing whoever listens to Alex Jones Voxcasts is a loner, a misanthrope, and probably without a lot of familial ties still willing to send a holoslate on their birthday... Well, they just sidle up to this fellow reeking of desperation, angst, and Tyranid pheremones and get all buddy buddy. "Say pal, we got a job for you, since you're unemployed." "Hey, you're low on cash? Here's a few credits to tide you over." "Ya know, we meet once a month for a card game, you should really meet the rest of the fellas." Boom, sit 'em down in front of a Purestrain Genestealer, one ovipositor to the neck, and you've got a new drone for the Patriach. A new drone who goes out and says they have given up on all that Alex Jones stuff, all the conspiracy theories about giant gay space frogs being the source of our ills. Family forgives, get back in touch, all is well and, hey, you all should come meet my new friends. They have this friendly card game once a month, they really do a lot of charitable work, you outta meet them... Rinse. Repeat. That way even if Alex Jones gets turned into a Servitor, you now have legions of perfectly normal, perfectly stable citizens with ties to other perfectly normal, perfectly stable citizens working their way up the hierarchy of this Imperial world, who are all secretly planning to feed everyone who draws breath on that planet to a great hungering maw.
As a BTB and 40K fan I can’t believe I’ve never seen this video. Robert’s not wrong about the HH novels. It’s a slog a lot of the time. Graham McNeil’s novels are some of the best. Gav Thorpe seems to get all the Raven Guard books which is just … upsetting.
Late reply, but yeah. It's always been an intentional tongue-in-cheek joke by the creators about how bad everyone is in war. The joke sometimes gets buried when it takes itself seriously for a time. But it's very silly by design.
My first introduction to Robert Evans was when he was explaining how inserting goat testicles into human begins also led to country music being introuduced to all of the US. Recently, without ever playing 40k, i started listening to 40k lore videos to fall asleep to. I don't think I'll ever buy a model but Robert is selling me on the books. Especially those done by an actual author.
Re: Hispanic representation in 40k: Off the top of my head, many soldiers in "Fire Caste" have Spanish names and even use some Spanish words. I'm sure Robert will personally read this and thank me for my contribution
If you are interested in maybe trying Warhammer40k. Now is a good time for 10th Edition as it pretty easy to understand. Also they now have a new game mode called Combat Patrols where you use small pre-made armies that are designed for short balanced games that are usually about an hour once you get the game flow down. Another Good 40K game called "Kill Team". Where it's more of a squad focused skirmish than a wide spanding battle. A cool bonus is that's it's not too expensive to get into compared to proper 40k but you can also use your kill team models in regular 40k game
4 years too late but let's go anyway... I had the same experience with Dune. Book one was great. I went to go to 2 but someone had it out at the library so I skipped to 4 or 5 and didn't last more than a couple of insane chapters. Far better were the prequels written by the son, I believe. It did appeal toy love of the first RTS, dune, with House Atriedes, House Harkonen, and finishing on House Corinth. And after those 3 also the series on the Butlerian Jihad were really good too.
I want an April Fool's Behind the Bastards episode where Robert just talks about a specific Primarch or the Emperor himself as if they're a real person and he's hosting a podcast in the far future
Everyone in 40k is a bastard though...
@@1IGGthat's the episode. Warhammer is a bastard
I need this so badly

100% would listen to a 6 part series on the primarchs 🤣. Would be a good way to get some time off for the team too since he already knows as much about warhammer as fascists. Lol

"Whaaaaaaaaaat's genociding my peaceful planets! This is Behind the Bastards, I'm Robert Evans--"

You know who did learn their lesson from Event Horizon? The products and services that support this podcast. They will not open a portal through Hell.
Actually, legally we can't say that. Sorry Sophie.. the products and services that support this podcast MIGHT not build a portal to hell
The most succinct description of 40K I've ever heard. "the emperor is an abusive father" and "everyone is worse than Hitler". Yup. That's pretty much the gist.
A few people are better than Hitler though, but that's mainly because they just smash/devour things instinctively instead.
Mushroom orcs go WAAAGH!!
There are tons of good peopke in the 40k universe they die too show the darkness of the setting
It's like the game where you choose two words to make the most awesome thing you can imagine, and then your opponent adds a third word which makes it bad.
So egalitarian utopia, by slavery.
When you listen to him talk about 40k, you can see how much of it influenced After The Revolution
As a fan of Behind the Bastards it's amazing to see this side of Robert
Oh man, if you dug this (and haven't already listened to the Big Trouble in Tangoyandcashia series), check out the Big Trouble in Tangoyandcashia series.

this session of just some dudes chattin' is a better 'lore podcast' than most any lore podcast

Another Good 40K game called "Kill Team". Where it's more of a squad focused skirmish than a wide spanding battle. A cool bonus is that's it's not too expensive to get into compared to proper 40k but you can also use your kill team models in regular 40k game
It's all a play on the fall of Satan.

4 years too late but let's go anyway...
I had the same experience with Dune. Book one was great. I went to go to 2 but someone had it out at the library so I skipped to 4 or 5 and didn't last more than a couple of insane chapters. Far better were the prequels written by the son, I believe. It did appeal toy love of the first RTS, dune, with House Atriedes, House Harkonen, and finishing on House Corinth.
And after those 3 also the series on the Butlerian Jihad were really good too.
I suggest a “Sit-ups instead of sitting down” video as the next post. 🐷
