To all those that state that only the Inquisition can order an Exterminatus. This game is pre-Inquisition which came out in force in 2004 even though we got the witch hunters in 2003. The 40000 universe has not always been what it is now and it will change a hundred times in the future. Believe me I spent most of my savings when younger putting together a squat based army, love my mole mortar still, sniff, sniff.
Wow I keep saying things like this and I didn't even know all of that(didn't get into wh40k till about 2006). People will look at something from like 199- something and be like "NOEP wh40k came out in 1979 and they did that first" and it's like "....uh.."
Whoever says only inquisitors can order an exterminatus are straight up wrong. High ranking members of the guard, navy or astartes can order an exterminatus.
ALso, there's a tactic used against tyrranids where you initially oppose them with heavy resistance to force them to send down an increasingly large ammount of forces, and then evacuate and call exterminatus to starve them off bio-mass. Exterminatus is a good idea in general on worlds that are falling to 'nids.
Considering how Kryptman was excumunicated despite the effectiveness of the tactic, I believe that destroying all life in life rich planets still does not sit well with the church and imperium at large. Considering that this tactic stalled part of the encroaching tendrils but did little to actually dent the armada also proves that though effective the numerical weight just keeps pushing the Tyranids forward. They had to resort to having them fight orks to stall them indefinetely.
@@DAMD01 Did I miss something? I mean, they did not get stalled indefinitely and the Tyranids ended up winning the fight against the orks and becoming a large menace. I doubt the Imperium could have been able to combat the attrition like the orks did. So, what part did not age well?

Depends on the chapter. The Ultramarines generally respect those who fight with honor and the Imperial Fists are willing to ally if it’s a good option strategically. If this was a Black Templar or Grey Knight on the other hand, that Tau would have been dead a long time ago.
The Marines, since they weren’t under Inquisitorial thumb for that Exterminatus (their Chapter Master Can order one without Inquisitorial approval, per the lore) they could choose to spare the Tau forces.
@kakoroto Probably because civilized planets might possess defensive installations that might survive the Cyclone, or could shoot it down before it breaches atmosphere. The whole point of Exterminatus is to leave nothing behind, might as well be thorough and leave nothing to chance.
We are Humanity, and we will not be denied of our place in the galaxy. We shall prevail against all who attack us. Galaxy is ours to rule it, and no one will stand before us!!!
"We have arrived, and it is now that we preform our charge. In fealty to the God Emperor (our undying lord) and by the grace of the golden throne... I declare Exterminatus upon this Imperial World. I hereby sign the death warrant of an entire world, and consign a million souls to oblivion. "
@Zeredek Inquisitors are Human ( Imperial Guard, Spess Mahreens ) and Fire Warrior is based on the Tau Now, in this Sequence, it did however show a Spess Mahreen, so I too am confused. Then again, while I do own the game, I have never been able to play it ( 64 Bit )
When they do they are short as hell. Specially when you can bombard enemy bases from space. Tyranid fights end really quickly once they lose space superiority.
@mcz1945 I assume the bombardment they do first is to crack the area to allow the planet cracking bomb less resistance to reach the core of the planet as well as to disrupt any enemy on the ground that may be trying to counter attack any of their forces still on the ground or leaving the planet.
@kakoroto I think the one in Retribution went more over the tradgedy of obliterating an entire world and Gabriel's regret whilst this one goes for the "Holy Shit that was awesome" factor and shows of the true balls out awesomeness that the Spectacle of Exerminatus is.
@ILostMyIcecream Depends on what type of Exterminatus you are using. A week if you're using the tried and tested cyclonic torpedo/lance combo as seen here or a matter of hours if you're using the Life Eater Virus as seen on Tallarn and Istvaan V (which is bad because it feeds Nurgle) and minutes if you use multi stage cyclonic torpedos which blow up plantets Alderaan/Death Star style. Either way, this is the single biggest middle finger the Imperium can deliver to its enemies.
A necessary evil, if inefficient. The multi stage torpedo should have been further enhanced with energy shielding to protect it from being shot down. Could have remade the design to allow the Imperium to make the Torpedoes in more abundant.
If you notice in Space marine their power armor is Mark 6 armor. Which means that the Plasma weaponry is still in the prototype phase. In Fire Warrior the armor's Mark 7 armor and the Plasma weaponry has been upgraded majorly. Space Marine explores the time of the Imperium where the Tau were not introduced yet just as the Necrons haven't.
@MrRobocop12 Actually, its mentioned in a few sources (Dark Heresy and some of the novels) that while Imperial Guard generals and Space Marine officers can recommend an exterminatus, only an Inquisitor can give the final say. And they only pull it in cases of serious Chaos or tyranid invasions.
@kakoroto That is easy - when you want to use expensive bomb it is good to have 100% assurance that it will do the stuf. Those - using smaller, cheaper bombs (cheaper even in such vast numbers) increase the effectivness rapidly.
I always find myself surprise by the fact that there are so few planetary anhnalations in 40k despite the treat of the tyranids, i mean they declared traitor the one who was starving the nids, for example in halo literally the half of africa was destroy because of a little flood infection in a little semi-abandoned city
@LordSia13 There are typically between 50 to 75 capital ships per sector. Smaller vessels like frigates and destroyers are not counted. They act in squadrons, not individually.
@TheDevastatah It was said that the population of a single Imperial Hive world likely outnumbers the entire Tau species. There are around 32,380 Hive worlds in the Imperium. The Imperium would completely fuckin crush the Tau if they weren't so busy dealing with actual threats like the Tyranids or Black Crusades.
Mark 6 was in Space Marine. Only parts of their armor was Mark 7 for field testing. Just like how they field tested pieces of the Mark 8 armor one piece at a time.
I just realised what's amking the Exterminatus from Retribution so much more epic: The absence of "Pew-Pew" and "Ka-Boom" sounds during most of the Typhon Scene.
"sir we have spoted a single chaos space marine on this planet" "command the planet has been tanted by the forces of chaos order the Exterminatus!!" "but sir its just one soldier" "who cares!!!!" "roger that "
@LizburnBaii And you are forgetting that the Imperium is battling every xenos in the existence (the Major players being The Elder, Tyranids, Deamons, Tau, Orks, Necrons,.. ) plus the marines, corruption and the Gods of Chaos, which is are subtle than the Flood and can corrupt anyone, anywhere without the need for contact. And the Tyranids are like the Flood, with the exception that they don't parasite. They assimilate and make themselves stronger. And they can eat an entire planet's biosphere.
@Boxanadu and yet in the movie Damnatus, they dropped 3 cyclonic torpedoes and destroyed the whole damn planet's ecosystem as well as the whole surface
I find it funny how some people who compare Halo to warhammer 40k say that the covenant ships are stronger. I'd love to see Covenant ships take a full blast of exterminatus.
@LizburnBaii Just a small correction, but Warhammer 40K is in the 41st Millennia, not century. It's 40,000 years versus 2,500 years, 2000 years of those obviously not able to lift a candle to either time periods in terms of technology.
@mcz1945 So no, in most cases they don't detonate high-yield warheads because that would destroy the very life that the virus bombs use as a catalyst to turn the planet into a giant fuel-air bomb for the firebombs to incinerate. The reason they used a traditional ordinance strike in the video game is because the designers thought that it would look better than the actual Extirminatus from canon.
@kakoroto In the 40k universe nothin is worse in the eyes of the imperium than the taint of chaos, if a world is tainted to the extent shown above then every inch of the surface has to be purged or the taint will spread. Besides its the imperium, overkill is their speciality :)
I think those ships are space marine battle barges. Btw although the sm are part of the imperiam they actually act as an independent faction. Only reciving orders from the high chambers.
@stimsWonderland They attack the eldar & imperium, because thoes two are related wiwth chaos by history (Space marines, the eye of terror) Eldar & imperium, are old, good enemies of chaos more than any other races.
@No1TaichoKatoh The Planatery Govenor (ruler of the planet) was a traitor and a heretic. He made a deal with Chaos and kidnaped the Tau Etheral (priest) to try to use him in a deamonic summoning. He was almost successful, but the Ultramarines (here shown as a "think before you shoot" type) suspeced something was fishy and aided the Tau Firewarrior Kais (the player character, and possibly a young comander Farsight).
@GovernorDerek Though you have to now contend with a dying emperor, an entire race of terminators, chaos space marines, tyranids, dark eldar, and of course, the chaos gods.
@kakoroto it's quite simple really overkill! I mean you gotta be sure everything is dead or you get instances where the enemy can come back. Like the Tyranids, they tend to survive the exterminatus but not the aftermath because there is nothing to live off.
Price the emperor isn't going to die he's a torso with a head the empire feeds him dailly hundreds of pchys to keep him alive and immortal he's over a thousand
@RobLucci3 im sorry but thats kinda wrong because forerunners were colinizing planets for longer than the imperium and were definitely more advanced.think about-awesome planet destroying technology?(imperium) -or the ability to kill every sentinent being in the galaxy and come out untouched...i wonder...
I felt the one in DoW2 was more about the human drama whilst this one shocks and horrifies you with the sheer destructive hatred that the act of destroying a planet requires.
@kakoroto it makes sense what you are saying but in the time they have fighted they have also gained new tech and enemy plans and by conquering cities they also found more ammunition then they had on the beginning so it had a point at all. with no offense
May we have fried chicken instead of beans tonight! May the deserts be sweeter then all the vengeance in the imperium! May uncle Fred save us from his evil twin brother Nigel !
@kakoroto I'm not sure. I still really like the general bombardment Exterminatus over the Melta/Cyclone-Torpedo Exterminatus from Retribution. If there's an Exterminatus in Space Marine, I'll be postponing my judgement on which method of killing a planet is the most awesome.
@LizburnBaii Ja Ja. Thought for the Day: "The Imperium! How mighty its aspect! How far-reaching its boundaries! As one world dies ten more are brought into the fold. Fear us, for we count the lives of planets, not men!" - Cardinal Morius Blate, Ecclesiarch Primus
@xTHExWIZxKIDx Eh, to be fair, the Imperium doesnt use exterminatus on the drop of a hat or if it just loses, its in the case of irreversible Chaos contamination or if the Tyranids are going to strip the world anyways are the usual reasons for Exterminatus.
For the Tau air caste pilot, this would probably the magnum opus of his career - flying a dropship to orbit just as an Exterminatus commences, escaping the blast wave against all odds and getting off the planet to the safety of the Tau starship like a bat out of hell.

@kakoroto I'm not sure. I still really like the general bombardment Exterminatus over the Melta/Cyclone-Torpedo Exterminatus from Retribution. If there's an Exterminatus in Space Marine, I'll be postponing my judgement on which method of killing a planet is the most awesome.
Famous 560GT torps...what a destruction!
Not bad for his first day of combat.
@LizburnBaii Ja Ja. Thought for the Day: "The Imperium! How mighty its aspect! How far-reaching its boundaries! As one world dies ten more are brought into the fold. Fear us, for we count the lives of planets, not men!" - Cardinal Morius Blate, Ecclesiarch Primus
One word that destroys worlds... Exterminatus!
@xTHExWIZxKIDx Eh, to be fair, the Imperium doesnt use exterminatus on the drop of a hat or if it just loses, its in the case of irreversible Chaos contamination or if the Tyranids are going to strip the world anyways are the usual reasons for Exterminatus.
SPACE MARINES!
Because we got a kick -ass gun!
And the UNSC think that the Covenant's glassing is bad...
the planet was tainted with chaos so everything would have been better off dead or already dead
This is what happens when somebody ragequits while playing Warhammer.
one of the worst games had one of the best exterminatus scenes
Agreed but after the first 3 levels it wasn't that bad tbh
The Tau would be godd ally of the Imperium, because they are immune to the warp's negative effects, so the would exelently fight against the chaos.
