Is this the start of an Every Regiment of Guard in 20 Minutes series? By the Throne!
And somehow it all starts with the unification war.....
Oh man, I hope so!
Ooh ooh ooh! Praetorian guard?!
Even better. Its an every planet in the imperium series
@@patrickking3124 By the time we’re done it would be the Great Crusade
I know this is a VERY minor thing, but one thing I've always appreciated about Cadia is its name. There's a lot of names in fantasy and scifi which *sounds* like someone made it up to sound fantasy-ish or science-fiction-y. But Cadia is just so simple and flows so well and just feels like it's a real world that came into being naturally. It could've easily been a region in Italy or a roman town or whatever. Simple, no frills, just solid. I really appreciate those touches in fiction.
Sounds like something that evolved. Like Akkadia, which may have inspired it, to Cadia. Beautiful name.
@@Severian1 Could be based on Cascadia as well.
@@nakenmil That's even more closer to the name. I agree, just shave off "Cas"
@@nakenmil Or you know, the greek word Arcadia?
@@aydengartenlaub That sounds even more plausible.
I was there when Cadia fell. . . The Eye of Terror codex and campaign was right in the middle of my group's 40k phase so we played games and reported them to GW to determine the planet's fate.
That was actually crazy. I never expected them to destroy the planet
I didn't know the fate of cadia was actually decided through reported games! That's awesome, but at the same time I'm sad because I'm a huge cadian player.
@@clanmacmillan4483yea…I didnt actually take part in it, but I’m 90% sure that the reported games would’ve resulted in Cadia not only surviving, but repelling everything that came at it, due to balancing in the game’s rules and mechanics.
I feel like GW decided themselves to have the planet be destroyed just so they could keep Chaos as a major faction.
@@blademaster2390The Eye of Terror campaign was back in 3rd, and at the time Chaos was in a lot better state than in recent years. The campaign used games of regular 40k, Epic, and Battlefleet Gothic as scoring metrics, and the general trend was Chaos winning the bulk of ground battles, and the Imperium winning a slight majority in space.
You also had the Ork players, many of whom banded together to count all their wins as happening in the Scarus sector, which for a time was renamed Skar-Uz and conquered in the "Green Croozade"
Similarly the Tau players did well enough that the 3rd Expansion Sphere was directly based on their success in the campaign.
Watching this gave me a chuckling flash to the game Darktide and when given the option to have ya character originate from Cadia it just shows a collection of rocks floating in space.
Cadia stands and shall forever stand for as long as there is air in Cadian lungs. Semper fidelis ad Imperium.
True and also another fun fact, there is a specifical voice for your character for ONLY Cadia origin. :D I am rocking that voice and you can hear the in-game chat of your character being a true disciplined warrior. :D
Memes aside, I love how totally fucking metal Cadians are with their children. "You were born on the edge of an abyss. Now stare into the eldritch horrors lurking in the sky so they may stare back at you. Happy two day birthday! Hope you like your new purple eyes."
Seconded ;)
the only appropriate comment to leave on this video, take up the cry: CADIA STANDS!
The planet broke before the guard did!
But they did break
CADIA STANDS!!
@@doublep1980 The only reason people say that is because "All is Dust" was already taken.
@@Inquisdrknss Shut up heretic.
@@doublep1980 We'll settle this on Cadia. . . Oh wait
Fall of Cadia and Cadian lore one of the best things GW ever did. I love the world breaking before the people did.
The story they decided to write carrying on from that, well at least it wasn’t the End Timess.
In many ways, Cadia was its own mini empire. In the number of worlds its war machine controlled, and in the military traditions it inspired across the galaxy. Even when Cadia proper died, its military - its civilization - persists. Supplying men and munitions, trained in the style of Lost Cadia, to protect the Imperium for as long as they breathe.
Your videos are exactly how I think a WH40K lore video should be. Maybe the best channel on the topic?
Just wanted to reiterate; love all your content - please do keep it up. From an OG Rogue Trader (almost) greybeard.
I was there when Rynn's World fell! 👴
@@euansmith3699 When the Crimson Fists shot themselves in the foot, if I recall?
@@nickharvey7233 In the foot? IN THE FOOT!? They took off the whole Emperor damned leg right up to the ribs. 😄
More of this types of videos, im 40 now and back in the day i used to buy second hand warhammer white dwarfs issues just for the lore, i was there when the fall of cadia campaign was played and my spacewolfs fall against caos.
So I'm a noob. Has the Fall of Cadia been in the lore from the beginning, or did they bring that along later?
@@roebuckmckinney Until fairly recently the story of 40k didn't really change. You had stuff like the Armageddon war that was ongoing but none of these conflicts were resolved it was just a thing going on in the background that you could say your armies were fighting in. Then in 2003 GW released the eye of terror campaign where players enter this massive tournament set in the 13th black crusade and whichever side won would canonically win the war. Chaos players won but for some reason, that got swept under the rug and the 13th black crusade was left unresolved. Fast forward many years to 40k getting rebranded with the primaris and stuff they reviewed the 13th black crusade and added in the whole Cadia getting torn apart thing, galaxy getting split in two and all the fuckery that followed in the aftermath
tldr. 13th black crusade existed in the lore for years, how the crusade ended is a recent addition
I'm currently reading Ravenor series and after that I wanted to read the Dark Imperium series, but I changed my mind. So before the Dark Imperium series I will read Cadia Standing, Cadia Honour and Belisarius Cawl: The Great Work. Thanks for the video. :D
Fantastic video Cadian's troop are my second favorite and I look forward to seeing more Regiments. Most of all being Krieg!
Also Lore wise I love the struggle and ultimate fall of Cadia even though I am a massive Imperial player it felt right. Even if i wish it hadn't been Cadia Still i like the idea of them in dozens of armada's traveling and making more only to continue to fight.
With that said as a player i also kinda wish once Cadia fell that GW took the chance to bring one of the other major Regiments to the forefront for awhile.
For me that's your best lore video, and one of your best videos, to date. Absolute banger
! It's always great to listen to you talk as I'm sitting at my desk, fingers glued together, scratch building all my basilisks.
With the fingers glued together I'm often at the never ending arbitor ian loop because the videos keep on coming and it's not like you can pause anything haha
Thanks for taking the time for covering the Astra Militarm. This has always been close to my heart. I painted more modern and WWII soldiers than I ever did Citadel miniatures as a kid and never got a full army together. I have recently binged my way for the Cadia Stands novel series and harbour a weird crush on Minka Lesk. A moody slavic lass with combat gear and a laser rifle! It doesn't get much better than that! Or is it just me? I apreciate my favourate debition of her is the cover of your video :) I'm a sad old git!
Abbadon: Here comes the blackstone fortress!.
Cadia : OH FUCK!.
KA BOOM!.
these are so comfy to watch, the script ,the delivery and the attention to detail, what a treat of a video
your likely tired of reading this by now Ian but once again I am commenting to say how you nailed it and im asking you to keep up the good work.
Thanks!
i love these 20 min lore videos. Can you please do one for Adepta Sororitas?
Dang Arbitor, I'd like to geek out over 40k lore and a beer with you one day. I've been in it since 87. But your depth of knowledge far outpaces mine. You've built a great channel, 👍
Thanks, now im gonna go quietly cry in this corner.
Great video! You really communicate the vents well and make it enjoyable as opposed to 'dry'. Thank you.
as a novice of the 40k universe, quick 20 minutes chunks of lore are greatly appreciated
great video. I am an old tabletop player but new to 40k lore so its been fun
Great video. Informative, concise and entertaining. Did not know about the Word Bearers pre heresy lore. Looking forward to future videos. Keep up the good work.
Great video! Such a tragic fate for Cadians. Only in Warhammer would one root for an entire planet of indoctrinated fighters and child soldiers. Warhammer really makes you reconsider the meaning of morality and ethics!
That Blitzer stout looks mighty tasty, as dark and smooth as the pitch for heresy. As I am a fare bit away from Nottingham, I'll have to find a suitable substitute.
Awesome video as always, Ian 👍
Amazing video
I only need a lot of video regiments. Made us happy, ian. You are the hero we need but not deserv. Plz, man!
I was just on the look out for a video, Cadia lord video great timing!
Never ever change your intro music.
Wow, goosebumps! Im assuming I can read all of this in The Gathering Storm book The Fall of Cadia?
I suspect as my go -to casual wardrobe is Goth/Punk/Grunge styled black/camo fatigues with giant boots, I could seamlessly melt into a civilian crowd on Cadia-That-Was....
The reason why my veteran in Darktide is a Cadian.
Legit the reason why I’m watching this
Great essay, more of these please!
I love the way Ian says Slaanesh. I think I might adopt that.
its the only correct way.
the way most english native speakers pronounce it doesn't correspond to the written letters and its rules in the slightest. double vowel means elongated sound, means its a stressed syllabil. The only way to stress the -nesh syllabil like most people do would be if there would be a glottal stop between Slaa and -nesh. But then it would be written as Slaa'nesh in english since glottal stops are no incorporated feature in that language (other than in german, hungarian or finnish ie, where there are compound nouns).
Drives me nuts.
Listened to cadia stands while in Menorca a few weeks ago. The narrator kept me well engrossed. I can’t read I get too distracted 😊.
You managed to make it sound almost sensible and not a load of and then... and then scenarios
I remember when I first got into Warhammer reafing about the battle of Tyrok fields and simply thinking "ooh, thats cool, we now have this awesome comander in Creed whos going to campign across rhe galaxy". No, he spent years campaiging across Cadia while GW figured out what to do with the 13 Dark Crusade!!
Still torn about this. I fought in the 13th Crusade, the big summer campaign, and Imperium won. But having some actual, BIG progress in the overarching story of 40k is also nice.
I quite like that the first time this was run, in the early 2000s, had the Imperium winning with Abaddon's forces stalled on the surface, and then when they wrote the second version they basically added a second episode. The story is the same as before, Abaddon's original attack repulsed and the chaos forced stalled, and then the Blackstone Fortress emerges.
Superb video :)
Another GREAT video!!!!
Are Cadians better than the Death Korps of Krieg? As a new player and new into the lore, I feel that they are both the most elite regiments of the Astra Militarum. But what if they were to be compared with each other? Thanks for the educational lore video!
All regular regiments of the Astra Militarum are described as effective soldiers. You'll find plenty of badass lore around other regiments such as the Mordians, the Valhallans, and - of course - the Tanith First and Only. Cadians are often described as examples to others and "born soldiers" but GW is quite inconsistent on what that means in bigger picture. Neither Cadia nor Krieg really stand out as "elite" above other regiments (a case could be made for Cadia because so many other worlds emulate them. But that may be just to allow people to slap their own names on Cadian minis), they just get more lore than many.
Haha, long time to get a reply since I posted that, but thank you very much for your time to give me an answer.@@dxpsumma383
Kriegers? Elite? I have no clue how you got that impression. Grenadiers aside, they are only “elite” if you consider getting shot walking across open ground into machine gun fire a skill.
Also just as an aside grenadiers is not a catch all term as described in the video but a specific one to the Death Korps.
Remember, the fact that Cadia fell is a testament to the ineffectuality and rot in the Imperium.
lovely stuff
The Planet Broke Before the Guard did
"A thing is not beautiful because it lasts, its a privilege to be among them"
2:06 Rock meme after that lol
Cadia was also the original heretic planet, its there that Lorgar was corrupted by a native priestess who called forth a Demon Prince. read the book The First Heretic
She didn't call forth a Daemon prince she ascended herself into one lol
Cadia taking a page from Gaunt's Ghosts... destroyed planet, no problem
This has nothing to do with anything but I love that shirt
Love your video ! I miss book club !
We're doing The Magos but it's reaaaaallly long!
Isn’t there an excerpt where as the planet is falling to pieces and the atmosphere dissipates that lad fire is seen shooting into space as the planet broke apart?
_THIS. IS. CADIA!!!_
**Kicks demon into reactor pit*
I remember the old days, the days on Cadia.
Where can I read war hammer content? I’m new to the 40k universe and Cadia in particular has my interest. I wanna read about it and get into the games
Start with the wiki. It’s free and gives a good compilation on most topics
Imperial Fists to the rescue.....................again!.
"Yoo'll crack eventually...joost laak Cadia."
Remember this of Cadia, the planet fell before the guard did.
The planet broke before the guard did.
There were many fine people on both sides of this conflict!
Cadia aka JROTC: The Planet
The world broke before the guard did.
Abbadon: Galaxy’s biggest sore loser
There's lot of Imperial Guard Regiments that looks like Cadians
Cadia will never be forgotten. ._.
I thibk the point was cadia was the beacon for the chaos. First thing they see and have to deal with which makes them deal with it first or lose a ton......but it's gone now sooooooooo. Cadia stands. The planet broke before the guard
Which books can I read about these battles? They sound great
Cadia Stands !!!!
The planet broke before the guard did
I was going to say this was a fun video, but I'm guessing Cadians might not agree 😂
I never understood why there wasn’t a permanent Adeptus Astartes presence on Cadia in the Lore. It’s meant to be the Imperium’s MOST vulnerable point, but no permanent posting of the ultimate elite. I know they’re mainly strike troops and not guards, but there is mention of whole chapters being guardians of certain worlds or vulnerable sectors elsewhere in the lore… why not Cadia?
Probably because it’s so close to the Eye of Terror so corruption is high susceptible. Not to mention the fact that Astartes home worlds don’t pay Imperial Tithe’s and Cadia exports a majority of its population to fight the Imperium’s battles elsewhere in the Galaxy
I mean there always seemed to be marines around when stuff was going down on Cadia, besides why settle for second best when your world is important enough to have first founding chapters racing each other to come to your aid. But that aside Cadia is a Guard plot point and there are many many more guardsmen than there are marines.
Cadia broke before the guard!
I just came here to say that CADIA STANDS!
P.s. When is Mira joining you for the next Book Club? I have withdrawal symptoms.....
Trayzin use his pokeball though
In the lore Cadia is reborn as a demon world. Now new regiment's march forward in the name of the dark god's. Happy Heretic Noise's. 💯🖤😈
the guard broke before the planet did
A very minor nitpick: I'm not sure how a population where the recruitment rate is equal to the birth rate, 70% of the population is in the armed forces, training starts in childhood, 50% of those conscripted serve overseas, and only 0.1% of those overseas service members return is supposed to work.
Where on earth does anyone find the time to have children? Or enough people not involved in soldiering, manufacturing or farming to raise them?
Imagine getting an order from your commisar to go fuck for the Emperor
Cadia stands! :')
Are there any other AM homeworlds lost, which still exists an army for?
(I hope I expressed myself clearly...)
The obvious one is TANITH
I believe the Mordian iron guard lost their homeworld to the thousand sons.
Which books give the best history of Cadia?
Can anyone recommend a good video on what happened after the Horus Heresy?
RIP Cadia o7
Are the cadia books any good?
So off topic question. Are those 40k candles? Where would one purchase them?
They are! And they're available from Merchoid. I have a review elsewhere on the channel
Cadia, "Help! I've fallen; and I can't get up!"
A tragedy indeed.
I never got a working army together as a kid. I only ever painted a very old Imperial Guard command section using the old Wargammer Compendium for the fantasy army list that never happened. I Am unlikely anytime soon (My interest s are more Black Library, Lore and my own bizarre fan fiction)but if I did it would be Cadian or Valhallan imperial guard. Are female guard minutures available these days? The Cain Novels inspire me towards a mixed gender army if I go there at all....
Why would the Cadia never have it’s own Chapter of Marines raised there? Or at least a permanent garrison of rotating Chapters?
Consider Marines pseudo autonomy I can imagine there simply wasn't any chapter master that was willing to agree on such plans.
And the Imperium mountain of red tape and heaps of ritualistic traditions would further hinder any effective implementation of the idea I imagine.
Space Marine planets are exempt of The Tithe. That's why they get only the planets with strudy yet primitive and small populations.
Because chapter worlds are their own autonomous governance and since no chapter can exceed one thousand marines it would ultimately be less well defended in many ways.
there is a pro counter strike player called cadian. and every time he wins an unfavorable fight i mutter to myself. cadian stands.
Are you playing Darktide? Loads of fun and lots of lore bits
Cadia is not the planet, its is peoples
The recruitment rate being locked to the birth rate is so hardcore. It would be interesting to explore more how Imperial propaganda frames Chaos to Cadians. In most of thr imperium any knowledge of Chaos is an immediate death sentence but for Cadians, demons and Chaos marines are a real thing that show up frequently on their doorstep. So locally, sure, maybe people are allowed to understand more, but then they ship these veterans of Chaos and cultists battles across the galaxy presumably with orders not to tell anyone anything they've seen. Maybe Inquisitors are why only 1 in 1000 makes it back... I read somewhere the Inquisition almost always wipes out any survivors of the units they pull in to missions to keep everything they did secret, and they would want Cadians as the best and actually skilled against what Inquisitors frequently face. So that might be the standard career path of Cadian infantry
Catachan video?
Cadia fell...
Cadia stands
