To those who are asking how the kriegsman got mind shackled, it has nothing to do with faith or how strong willed you are, basically anything can be mind shackled, including sisters of battle, you can only resist mind shackles with augments or cybernetic brains and even those have limits. It heavily depends on what brain it is but those kriegsman were just very unlucky.
I personally don't think it's proper brainwashing. That implies the Necrons are using them as actual threats; they're just Szeras's discarded experiments.
In the show Szeras refers to his failed experiments wandering around the ruins, so it's not mind control so much as a side effect of whatever Szeras did to them.
Yeah, don't get me wrong, I love the look of the white hair and everything but realistically a lot of them would wear their helmets. It should be similar to the marines where the ones without helmets are important characters.
People often sees the sisters as absolute zealots... Which they are, but they're also(mostly) kind. They often help in the battlefield to raise moral, praying to those who are hurting, tending to their wounds, listening to their problems, and so on. So they don't just scream about God Emperor and burn fuckin everything, even if they do, that's not all they are.
They are and they aren't. There are factions/chapters what ever you want to call them. Some are psychopathic zealots that charge till they die, some burn every one suspected of being a heretic at the drop of a hat. Others heal the wounded, take care of the sick and just try to spread the faith. Much like space marines every order of Sisters can be different.
In general, the idea is, the Battle Sisters are deeply fond of the Imperial Guard (and vice versa). Since both are "average humans" instead of whatever the Space Marines are, they coonect easily with each other and their struggles. Plus, Imperial Guard and Battle Sisters cooperate a lot more often, since Sororitas are much more common than Astartes, and usually make churches and monasteries in imperial worlds. This makes them a much more familiar sight for the people, and since they not only work as soldiers but as diplomats, doctors, and even stuff like weddings (Dialogus, at least in earlier versions of the codex), its rare for non-heretics to not appreciate the Sororitas, and its a common thing they genuinely care for the average imperial citizen (specially guards).
Perception is skewed of them because of the tabletop being all about war, in the lore there's far more to them than just Orders Militant. Famulous of often all that stands between your average Imperial citizen and their inbred noble rulers, Dialogus can be some of the only real communication an Imperial world has with the rest of humanity and Hospitallers provide the only thing that resembles healthcare on many worlds/battlefields. Understanding the 'average human' is the only way to do their job. They're the diplomats, teachers, safeguards and healers of the Imperium and are revered by many as a result.
No one's commenting how this Sister of Battle is so well-portrayed. She's rather awesome and determined (literally traversing a Necron-occupied planet on her own...with either an useless guardsman at her side or a hallucination to test her faith) and...what is the first thing she does when seeing a potentially injured Guardsman who's acting weirdly? She advances and the FIRST thing she asks if he's hurt and says that everything will be fine, even though she keeps her guard up. And when he and the other mind-controlled guardsmen attack her? If they won't accept her mercy, then they'll get the Emperor's wrath! Woo!

I can't imagine a fate that a Kriegsman fears more, his body taken over and forced to fight the Imperium from which he seeks forgiveness and redemption
Being mind-shackled and sent to attack a loyal servant of the Emperor is probably _literally_ their worst nightmare. It hits all of the cultural trauma instilled in them about their ancestors' treason, in addition the usual stigma against xeno-tech and just instinctive horror at losing control over your own body.
Sisters don't get enough love. Awesome portrayal that makes me want to see more. Especially liked the power armor knee to the chest she delivers to the kriger. Tons of energy and force you can feel in the hit. Always enjoy a good, weighty hit in Warhammer.

@@henrysokol3466Throughout history, the knives carried by heavily armored warriors tend to be slender and shorter than you’d expect. They’re designed to slip between gaps and weak points. For someone wearing power armor (of the same strength as first born marine plate, though not as agile due to lack of black carapace), you’d expect a weapon about the size shown. It is optimized to fit in the small gaps armor equivalent to hers would have, and as shown, works perfectly well vs opponents who are significantly less armored than herself.
Fastest way to know a Krieger has been compromised? They're making noise. Aside from occasional vocal response to an order, or even rarer an idea, they usually nod, or fight entirely silent.
Shellshock has two differing definitions. Yes, the most common 'version' of shell shock was PTSD and combat fatigue. But there was also severe neurological damage from constant shells vibrating the human body so much that the very nervous system had parts that shut down. That could lead to shaking and a lack of strength similarly seen in bad cases of PTSD. in modern terms through, it's usually attributed to traumatic brain injures (TBI)
So watching it with subtitles from warhammer tv. The 1st kriegsman is taking to himself, saying "so cold, I can't. I won't, blind, who? Why? Where? When" So some semblance of consciousness beneath the control of the necrons.
Oh the average sister is kind and compassionate to there allies, they regularly give prayers sermons and listen to their stories. There's tons of sister battle novels where they're actually just talking with regular guardsmen and they listen to their sadness and pain and give them benedictions.
The expected attitude is due to the memes. The sisters are usually there to also help with troops morale by praying for them, tend to their wounds (be it by sororitas shenanigans, aka sheer faith, or normally). Although, they ARE zealous as expected when fighting the enemy
Yea sisters are nice to regular citizens as well... you just beat not be praying to anyone other the Big E, other wise shes going to send you to the warp with a smile and a " BLAM"
These are peak physical women in ceramic combat armour. When they’re not training, they’re praying, not much of individual personalities when they’re that rote in physical and mental training, no distractions nor weaknesses, just honed weapons. 1 of these sisters is worth 10 kriegsman, and the kriegsmans are badass

Well yes and no, GW has stated numerous time eldar and necrons are roughly equal just specialise in different areas (meaning eldar have greater tech in some ways and necrons in others)
@@matthiuskoenig3378maybe in the war in heaven, necrons are vastly more equipped now after the eldar got graped by slanesh and scattered on life support boats
More than anything else the limitless ability to repair their forces is one of the major reasons Necron's are so dangerous. While other races might have means of quickly replacing their lost troops, the necrons not only replace their numbers they retain their best leaders. Rare is an overlord or the like truly lost in a battle even if their body is destroyed. And when they come back they have the ability to learn and improve to a degree.
@@andrewbay8891 that's not really about level of technology, both still have access to man-portable exterminatus weaponry, etc. necron's advantage over eldar in 40k is not really tech level but tech breadth, ie the expanse of their infrustructure and their total numbers of individual peices of equipment (aswell as wielders)
@@JustaGuy_Gaming That is why anti phasing bolter shells exist - to make sure that killed necrons cant phase out - and thus stay dead - and since there cant be more necrons - each killed is killed permamently. On top of that there is that flayer virus that corrupts normal necrons - which is also cutting their populations into even more dumb variants. And then there are the tombworlds that are getting wrecked - which is also a massive problem - and then there is infighting between the dynasties.

The unique nature of the Adeptus Sororitas is what people want to throw away when they bitch about how 'we need female space marines'. There's already a girls' club to match the boys' club, and they're both awesome standouts just the way they are.
And the emperor gives them the same enemies to contend with as the space marines, should speak more highly of their devotional and capabilities. Not saying fem marines can't exist, but throwing away the sisters accomplisment for sole sake of virtue signaling isn't the right way to go.
@@ironwolfsaber2739 Female Marines CAN NOT! exist. The gene seed is coded specifically to male physiology. Besides, the 'Boys club' requires extensive, often fatal gene enhancement to create giant super-soldier bad***es... The 'Girls club' on the other hand, are just normal humans who are so batgak devout & steadfast that they can manifest actual miracles & Emperor-given super powers through sheer force of will power & emotions!! (...aka, PMS is a real thing, and it's best to avoid us girls when Aunt Flow is about to make her monthly visit!Lol)
Ok, but this is like saying "you want male Space Marines? We already have Black Templars". Cool, but what if I want to play Female Space Marines that are super tactical? Or use bikes? Or use psykers, like, ever? Nah, Sororitas are a cool faction, but saying their existence is the female equivalent is narrowminded at best. EDIT: Kinda didn't expect that observation to trigger such a response, but it did show that a sizeable subset of Warhammer fans have apparently a poor reading comprehension combined with a complete unwillingness to admit to the former...
Honestly it does kinda suck how they sometimes get the short end of the stick from both GW and the fandom. If only they were as prominent as SM and IG they would be ridiculed a lot less.
We once did a for-fun battle with a squad and a half of sisters vs 100 zombies. I was completely stunned by how easily the sisters wiped them out. I don't think they even took any casualties.
They have power armor, bolters and lot of flamers/heavy flamers. Basically they are space marines for less cost imo. Only real draw back is their aim/toughness etc is a bit worse but given the standard space marine still only has one wound it doesn't really impact their fighting ability that much. In game terms space marines are pretty average, in lore terms they are un-killable demi gods.
The similarities between Sisters and marines are undeniable, but they're way more brittle than marines ((toughness 3, morale differences) and their HTH is *very* weak. They don't play the same at all. However, their weaknesses don't come into play when fighting zombies. They're very shooty and while weak in HTH, they're still better than zombies and their unmodified armor save means their low toughness doesn't come into play.
@@banishedpest115 Gotta be honest been a while since I played the table top, honestly I think last book was when the Catchacan book came out what ever edition that was. But I just remember most space marines having 1 wound at the time unless they were veterans/sergants/etc. Even when they did have two wounds they only had like 4 toughness, meaning most weapons could instant kill them anyways (Double or more your toughness back then was instant death).
What i love about warhammer 40 k is when these sisters of battle or the space marines say out these prayers and bad ass stuff while at the same time purging the enemies of mankind .
@@thenightqueen0 Sororitas don't "struggle" or have any doubts, ever. Their believe in human supremacy and the godhood of the emperor is absolute. Otherwise they wouldn't be protected by their faith
This is the same Pariah Nexus event where only those with strong faith did not become mindless zombies am i right or is it a separate event altogether. If im not mistaken also the Silent King is involved in this campaign as well
@@RagTag72Might be weak willed one. Most people tend to forget that Krieg are still your bogged standard human. There is a Krieg regiment that show thier cowardice and routed from battlefield on mass in Siege of Vrak. There are Death Korps guardsmen who deserted the regiment and hide amongst civilians in one of the novel.
They're separate. The nexus cuts any living creature's connection to the warp; most of them fall down and give up on life. Those who survive are because of their faith, which means they have a stronger connection through the warp. The zombified guardsmen are from nano scarabs, mind shackles, or something from the necrons that hijacks their bodies. They're alive but have no control over themselves.
@inquisitorsteele8397 though I am not necessarily all that familiar with the Siege of Vraks, I know I would be booking it if I saw a Warhound titan rolling up on my trench and all I had was a lasgun. They are fanatical but they aren't idiots.
@@hammer1349 Not that one. The Mass routed I'm refer to happened before traitor marine and titan legion enter the fray. The regiment was routed due to heavy resistance from the Vrakian defenders. Here from Imperial Armour Vol 5: Siege of Vrak "Shells started to crash down into the advancing Krieg rank, as the defender's fire increased. As the artillery fire hammered down it caused the utter collapse of the 158th regiment's attack in sector 50-45. The Commissars amongst the retreating assault squads demanded that the men stand firm and push on, summarily executing the first men to take any steps backwards. In return, several Commissars were shot out of hand by their own side as the shredded assault companies scurried back to the safety of their own trenches. At the parapet the first wave collided with the second wave as they moved forwards to begin their advance. Fighting broke out as the officers of the second wave tried to force passage forwards. After only a couple hours the 158th regiment's attack had disintegrated into shambles" As you can see this is complete breakdown of discipline and morale, A complete routed. The Regiment was completely shattered iirc the survivors were disgraced and put into Penal Legion save for Colonel and his staffs who were sentence to execution.
idk if its just me but these soldiers sounded like they where begging...when they where walking towards the sister their arms where pulled back as if they were trying to restrain themselves, and when the sister touched the kriegsmen on the shoulder it almost like he screamed NOOO, followed by something about mind and blank and dont wanna before we lose him. In classic 40k fashion it seems like these guys got front row seats to their own body's betrayal
I'm sure they are controlled by scarabs, the necrons use them to control the bodies of their enemies and they are usually able to control all kinds of living beings, like when Trazyn used them to force a squad of Guards to fight alongside him, with the guards being unable to even look behind them to see their "allies"
Is it just me hearing things or did the first Krieg guardsman and then another later say "I cant..."? One bit of their mumbling kinda sounded like that
Sounds about right. Mindshackle scarabs - at least, the kind implanted on a battlefield - are basically a remote control attached to your spinal chord, overriding the brain's normal signals.
Even though this character is a main character in the story, this cinematic gives you a pretty good idea of what an isolated SOB is capable of. They are, in and all, elite troops in power armor fueled by faith. They are terrifying. And they rarely come alone. SOBs are fkin badass and brutal, with one of the best lore ever written in WH40K I want more SOBs stuff. F*ck FSM, I want those ladies fucking get to town.
Are you kidding me? This is the badass stuff? Someone in a power armor suit beat up a bunch of normal people who have been mind controlled and are shambling and incapable of tactics? I dont even understand what the actual threat is they were supposed to pose to her since they cant infect her through biting and they dont use guns.
I'd say the stupidity of the Death Korps is her shield. But, I do much prefer the Sisters of Battle over the Astartes. Regular humans doing this is more impressive.
Sister of Battle armor she is wearing is generally the weakest and a mass produced model and it prioritizes speed. Not to mention she is still a human.
They are infested with mindshakle scarabs (nanobots) that puppet around their bodies. It isnt really a human she was fighting and more a necron construct. Also initially she obviously didnt use her full strength against him as she would believe the Kriegsman just stands under shock. You can see that once the others come in she goes full force as she is able to kick him off of her several meters across flying.
She is also wounded and her Powerpack seems to be running out of juice, hence why her armor started creaking at the end and her falling to her knee, or her having trouble getting up at the start of the show.
She's been fighting for who knows how long, she's most likely tired as hell and it's possible those soldiers strength was enhanced by necron experiments, and I imagine Danica was caught off guard by the fact she thought those were guardsmen on her side! If you actually are WH+ Sub and watch all the shows, lore accuracy isn't the issue, it's budget. Every character in nexus is written very well, down to the cadian soldier with the roughneck attitude that conflicts with the battle sisters unbroken faith in the God emperor!
God they could make such a good Warhammer movie/series if they really tried and got people like this that care about the lore. This was pretty damn good
and that the Sister just stands in the middle shooting around in circle instead of taking high ground and throwing a frag... This was written by hacks.
@@snactimusmaximus I rather think she's a figment of the sister's consciousness. Perhaps it's the mind-shackling that has affected the Kriegsmen that's she's subconsciously fighting.
@@snactimusmaximus but maybe she's got some doctrine that lets her shoot double when she stays put or cover is over 6 inch away and she doesn't want to risk being caught in between or having to roll for sprint.

I mean, Krieg don’t have magic concussion-proof brains. Dedication, discipline, resolve, and an unerring willingness to die in battle? Yes. But concussions are concussions. Shell shock is just what happens to human brains exposed to enough concussive shock waves. Repeated exposure actually makes you more vulnerable, not less, as the brain’s structure undergoes repeated injury.
I think that guardswoman is a hallucination. She has no weapon throughout the movie and she is suspiciusly unaffected. Plus she does not seem to agro any of the zombie guardsmen. Just conveniently finds her way to a high ground to say "you are surrounded". She is not real.
@@tommasopisapia7464 But like Astartes, it varies based on their order. Most guardsmen see the Sisters in the form of the Hospitallers, and therefore have a fairly positive perception of them.
@@cousinzeke4888She is. It's can be easily observed as you watch the episode carefully a few time. There is no cadian footprints and everyone else save for sister just ignored her

Mindshackle scarabs basically burrow into your nervous system and take control. It's not a very precise process in a lot of cases, but it's also not a 'strength of will' or 'faith' thing - the nerves going to your muscles are literally cut and reattached to the scarab.
@@locarno24 Also interesting how the first one says “I can’t atone. Why?” Perhaps they don’t know the capabilities of their adversary? So by the sounds of the scene’s depiction, the host is still there and conscious for the ride. That makes it all the more depressing knowing the Krieger is experiencing his actions
so the necrons can basically turn people into mindless zombie soldiers who serve as cannon fodder? i didn't know that; cool scene though. cool to see a sister of battle in action
Guardswoman: shellshock, maybe My sister in the Emperors name, its a fucking member of the Death Korps of Krieg, those mf dont suffer shellshock they shock the shell itsekf
Sister of battle going on a monologue about how awesome she is, while slaughtering mowing down unarmed, extremely slow moving, unarmored troops with a bolter.
If your talking about the Ultramarine Sergent from the earlier scenes, he was actually quite impressive. Deathmarks are dirty cheaters that go into another dimension to avoid being attacked so the fact that he was keeping up with the Deathmark as an unnamed Ultramarine was an accomplishment.
And entire move without that happening at least one? Unlikely, a single episode or two probably. Beside the only space marine who got ambushed so far was the blue boy caption, and he was alone and being hunted by probably the nost op assassin class in the 40k universe thats isn't a named character.
@@sirpieman300 That Deathmark had a name though.(I think, may need to rewatch his introduction) Which puts him even further above the Sergent on 40k's weird power scale.
......... Sure.......If by "strong" you mean you have to stack the deck so heavily in her favor there is no actual threat to her posed by her enemy, and if by "independent" you mean you throw out most of your lore for ESG points. Personally I like my story to have reasons for me to care.
"What you are, sister, is surrounded." My response would have been..... "OH, you mean a target rich environment, emperor blesses me with perfect accuracy, because, I CANT MISS IF IM SURROUNDED!!!"
Necron thinking, "It will demoralize the enemy if they must be forced to kill there own."
Standard Imperial, "So I started blasting...."
Time to deliver the Emperor's mercy
Average Imperial: "oh, so it's Tuesday then".

@killerjoy1558 If I'm a Krieger I'm going to be super pissed off some green LED robot is trying to control me.
Being mind-shackled and sent to attack a loyal servant of the Emperor is probably _literally_ their worst nightmare. It hits all of the cultural trauma instilled in them about their ancestors' treason, in addition the usual stigma against xeno-tech and just instinctive horror at losing control over your own body.

Sisters don't get enough love. Awesome portrayal that makes me want to see more. Especially liked the power armor knee to the chest she delivers to the kriger. Tons of energy and force you can feel in the hit. Always enjoy a good, weighty hit in Warhammer.
But why knee him? He was dead..
@@meateawBecause its the Warhammer 40k universe. you think something is dead in the Warhammer 40k universe it's not. Overkill is the only way to make sure something dead is actually dead.
I really liked the detail when she kneeled at the end the servoes whirred in protest, nice sound detail
Was that a detached sarissa she was using to stab? It's a little disappointing. My old Codex called them 'vicious spiked attachments'. but it seems a downright puny thing. Especially put onto a bolter.
@@henrysokol3466Throughout history, the knives carried by heavily armored warriors tend to be slender and shorter than you’d expect.
They’re designed to slip between gaps and weak points. For someone wearing power armor (of the same strength as first born marine plate, though not as agile due to lack of black carapace), you’d expect a weapon about the size shown.
It is optimized to fit in the small gaps armor equivalent to hers would have, and as shown, works perfectly well vs opponents who are significantly less armored than herself.
Fastest way to know a Krieger has been compromised?
They're making noise.
Aside from occasional vocal response to an order, or even rarer an idea, they usually nod, or fight entirely silent.
I love how the guard called it shellshock and not ptsd :3
Shoulda called him a coward instead of shell shocked
Shellshock was commom tern for ptsd in ww1/ww2 before it was more studied. Fits quite nicely in warhammer universe.
There IS a Vietnam War game in PS2 the name IS shellshock nam 67 ^^
Shellshock has two differing definitions. Yes, the most common 'version' of shell shock was PTSD and combat fatigue. But there was also severe neurological damage from constant shells vibrating the human body so much that the very nervous system had parts that shut down. That could lead to shaking and a lack of strength similarly seen in bad cases of PTSD. in modern terms through, it's usually attributed to traumatic brain injures (TBI)

So watching it with subtitles from warhammer tv. The 1st kriegsman is taking to himself, saying "so cold, I can't. I won't, blind, who? Why? Where? When" So some semblance of consciousness beneath the control of the necrons.
Even the salamander realizes that later when a kreigsman actually gets it out that theyre not in control.
I didn't expect that the sisters of battle can be that nice. The way she tried to comfort the soldier at first was really sweet 😅
Oh the average sister is kind and compassionate to there allies, they regularly give prayers sermons and listen to their stories.
There's tons of sister battle novels where they're actually just talking with regular guardsmen and they listen to their sadness and pain and give them benedictions.
The expected attitude is due to the memes. The sisters are usually there to also help with troops morale by praying for them, tend to their wounds (be it by sororitas shenanigans, aka sheer faith, or normally). Although, they ARE zealous as expected when fighting the enemy
Yea sisters are nice to regular citizens as well... you just beat not be praying to anyone other the Big E, other wise shes going to send you to the warp with a smile and a " BLAM"

Aren't sisters of battle also muscular as hell?
These are peak physical women in ceramic combat armour.

The level of technology the necrons possess is unmatched by any faction in the setting. They can be beaten, but at great cost.
Well yes and no, GW has stated numerous time eldar and necrons are roughly equal just specialise in different areas (meaning eldar have greater tech in some ways and necrons in others)
@@matthiuskoenig3378maybe in the war in heaven, necrons are vastly more equipped now after the eldar got graped by slanesh and scattered on life support boats
More than anything else the limitless ability to repair their forces is one of the major reasons Necron's are so dangerous. While other races might have means of quickly replacing their lost troops, the necrons not only replace their numbers they retain their best leaders. Rare is an overlord or the like truly lost in a battle even if their body is destroyed.
And when they come back they have the ability to learn and improve to a degree.
@@andrewbay8891 that's not really about level of technology, both still have access to man-portable exterminatus weaponry, etc.
necron's advantage over eldar in 40k is not really tech level but tech breadth, ie the expanse of their infrustructure and their total numbers of individual peices of equipment (aswell as wielders)
@@JustaGuy_Gaming That is why anti phasing bolter shells exist - to make sure that killed necrons cant phase out - and thus stay dead - and since there cant be more necrons - each killed is killed permamently. On top of that there is that flayer virus that corrupts normal necrons - which is also cutting their populations into even more dumb variants. And then there are the tombworlds that are getting wrecked - which is also a massive problem - and then there is infighting between the dynasties.
Basically i am amazed how Nekrons continue to exist - oh thats right that is only because they aint rising up in one time but staggered. Well let's face it as resilient as they are they are a dying race.
That's Guardsman is 100% a figment of her imagination. I wonder who it's representing. Old friend, mother, or some completely random person?

The unique nature of the Adeptus Sororitas is what people want to throw away when they bitch about how 'we need female space marines'. There's already a girls' club to match the boys' club, and they're both awesome standouts just the way they are.
And the emperor gives them the same enemies to contend with as the space marines, should speak more highly of their devotional and capabilities.
Not saying fem marines can't exist, but throwing away the sisters accomplisment for sole sake of virtue signaling isn't the right way to go.
@@ironwolfsaber2739 Female Marines CAN NOT! exist. The gene seed is coded specifically to male physiology.
Besides, the 'Boys club' requires extensive, often fatal gene enhancement to create giant super-soldier bad***es...
The 'Girls club' on the other hand, are just normal humans who are so batgak devout & steadfast that they can manifest actual miracles & Emperor-given super powers through sheer force of will power & emotions!! (...aka, PMS is a real thing, and it's best to avoid us girls when Aunt Flow is about to make her monthly visit!Lol)
Netflix would probably make Horus a woman.
Ok, but this is like saying "you want male Space Marines? We already have Black Templars". Cool, but what if I want to play Female Space Marines that are super tactical? Or use bikes? Or use psykers, like, ever?
Nah, Sororitas are a cool faction, but saying their existence is the female equivalent is narrowminded at best.
EDIT: Kinda didn't expect that observation to trigger such a response, but it did show that a sizeable subset of Warhammer fans have apparently a poor reading comprehension combined with a complete unwillingness to admit to the former...
Honestly it does kinda suck how they sometimes get the short end of the stick from both GW and the fandom.
If only they were as prominent as SM and IG they would be ridiculed a lot less.
We once did a for-fun battle with a squad and a half of sisters vs 100 zombies. I was completely stunned by how easily the sisters wiped them out. I don't think they even took any casualties.
Zombie horde games are my favourite warhammer minigame
They have power armor, bolters and lot of flamers/heavy flamers. Basically they are space marines for less cost imo. Only real draw back is their aim/toughness etc is a bit worse but given the standard space marine still only has one wound it doesn't really impact their fighting ability that much. In game terms space marines are pretty average, in lore terms they are un-killable demi gods.
The similarities between Sisters and marines are undeniable, but they're way more brittle than marines ((toughness 3, morale differences) and their HTH is *very* weak.
They don't play the same at all. However, their weaknesses don't come into play when fighting zombies. They're very shooty and while weak in HTH, they're still better than zombies and their unmodified armor save means their low toughness doesn't come into play.
@@JustaGuy_Gamingspace marines have had two wounds for a long time now, but yeah. Power armour is only half the package.
@@banishedpest115 Gotta be honest been a while since I played the table top, honestly I think last book was when the Catchacan book came out what ever edition that was. But I just remember most space marines having 1 wound at the time unless they were veterans/sergants/etc. Even when they did have two wounds they only had like 4 toughness, meaning most weapons could instant kill them anyways (Double or more your toughness back then was instant death).

And among it all having moments that, despite the power and zeal they carry, they still struggle as humans do in these grim times.
@@thenightqueen0 Sororitas don't "struggle" or have any doubts, ever. Their believe in human supremacy and the godhood of the emperor is absolute. Otherwise they wouldn't be protected by their faith
Aka nazis.
This is the same Pariah Nexus event where only those with strong faith did not become mindless zombies am i right or is it a separate event altogether. If im not mistaken also the Silent King is involved in this campaign as well
Well if it was based on strong faith than the krieg wouldn't have been affected because they are just as fanatical as the sisters
@@RagTag72Might be weak willed one. Most people tend to forget that Krieg are still your bogged standard human. There is a Krieg regiment that show thier cowardice and routed from battlefield on mass in Siege of Vrak. There are Death Korps guardsmen who deserted the regiment and hide amongst civilians in one of the novel.
They're separate. The nexus cuts any living creature's connection to the warp; most of them fall down and give up on life. Those who survive are because of their faith, which means they have a stronger connection through the warp. The zombified guardsmen are from nano scarabs, mind shackles, or something from the necrons that hijacks their bodies. They're alive but have no control over themselves.
@inquisitorsteele8397 though I am not necessarily all that familiar with the Siege of Vraks, I know I would be booking it if I saw a Warhound titan rolling up on my trench and all I had was a lasgun. They are fanatical but they aren't idiots.
@@hammer1349 Not that one. The Mass routed I'm refer to happened before traitor marine and titan legion enter the fray. The regiment was routed due to heavy resistance from the Vrakian defenders.
Here from Imperial Armour Vol 5: Siege of Vrak
"Shells started to crash down into the advancing Krieg rank, as the defender's fire increased. As the artillery fire hammered down it caused the utter collapse of the 158th regiment's attack in sector 50-45. The Commissars amongst the retreating assault squads demanded that the men stand firm and push on, summarily executing the first men to take any steps backwards. In return, several Commissars were shot out of hand by their own side as the shredded assault companies scurried back to the safety of their own trenches. At the parapet the first wave collided with the second wave as they moved forwards to begin their advance. Fighting broke out as the officers of the second wave tried to force passage forwards. After only a couple hours the 158th regiment's attack had disintegrated into shambles"
As you can see this is complete breakdown of discipline and morale, A complete routed. The Regiment was completely shattered iirc the survivors were disgraced and put into Penal Legion save for Colonel and his staffs who were sentence to execution.

0:35 Shellshock? a Kriegsman? Shellshock? Really?
idk if its just me but these soldiers sounded like they where begging...when they where walking towards the sister their arms where pulled back as if they were trying to restrain themselves, and when the sister touched the kriegsmen on the shoulder it almost like he screamed NOOO, followed by something about mind and blank and dont wanna before we lose him. In classic 40k fashion it seems like these guys got front row seats to their own body's betrayal
I'm guessing whatever afflicted them took control of the body, leaving their minds as a passenger. He was probably trying to squeeze out a warning.
I'm sure they are controlled by scarabs, the necrons use them to control the bodies of their enemies and they are usually able to control all kinds of living beings, like when Trazyn used them to force a squad of Guards to fight alongside him, with the guards being unable to even look behind them to see their "allies"
“What you are sister, is surrounded” I like the guardswoman.
Who is definitely not real
A kriegsman being shell shocked?impossible
Mindshackle Scarabs be like
Happens sometimes. But pretty much impossible without titan or necrons.
This is probably the worst thing that can happen to a DeathKorp.
Is it just me hearing things or did the first Krieg guardsman and then another later say "I cant..."? One bit of their mumbling kinda sounded like that
Sounds about right. Mindshackle scarabs - at least, the kind implanted on a battlefield - are basically a remote control attached to your spinal chord, overriding the brain's normal signals.
Death Korps fans when you tell them shovel jokes aren’t funny:
THEY AREN'T! STOP TALKING ABOUT THE SHOVELS!

There's nobody more badass than the battle sisters.
Even though this character is a main character in the story, this cinematic gives you a pretty good idea of what an isolated SOB is capable of. They are, in and all, elite troops in power armor fueled by faith.
They are terrifying.
And they rarely come alone.
SOBs are fkin badass and brutal, with one of the best lore ever written in WH40K
I want more SOBs stuff. F*ck FSM, I want those ladies fucking get to town.
Are you kidding me? This is the badass stuff? Someone in a power armor suit beat up a bunch of normal people who have been mind controlled and are shambling and incapable of tactics? I dont even understand what the actual threat is they were supposed to pose to her since they cant infect her through biting and they dont use guns.
The most unbelievable part was the fact that the sister of battle could barely hold back a normal person from inside her POWER ARMOR.
please take your opinion and shove it up Nurgles ass
I guess it was more because of holding back. There is not much problem afterwards.
She wasn't sure yet what was happening, as soon as she figured it out she didn't hold back.
She showed restraint until she understood the person was controlled or corrupted in some way.
She granted them the Emperors mercy. I was happy that they made her smart enough to put her visor down.
They need to put the mask on to do the deed
the funniest part was when they thought a kreigsman was suffering from shellshock
I'd say the stupidity of the Death Korps is her shield.
But, I do much prefer the Sisters of Battle over the Astartes. Regular humans doing this is more impressive.
"What you are, sister, is surrounded."
"Good. That'll make aiming simpler."
Emperor's mercy for you, you, and you!
Sister of Battle wearing power armour is barely stronger than a normal human?
It's either total bullcrap or these Kriegers were augmented by Necrons.
I think they were experimented on my the illuminor but even then she should of been able to just yet him off her
Sister of Battle armor she is wearing is generally the weakest and a mass produced model and it prioritizes speed.
Not to mention she is still a human.
They are infested with mindshakle scarabs (nanobots) that puppet around their bodies.
It isnt really a human she was fighting and more a necron construct.
Also initially she obviously didnt use her full strength against him as she would believe the Kriegsman just stands under shock.
You can see that once the others come in she goes full force as she is able to kick him off of her several meters across flying.
She is also wounded and her Powerpack seems to be running out of juice, hence why her armor started creaking at the end and her falling to her knee, or her having trouble getting up at the start of the show.
She's been fighting for who knows how long, she's most likely tired as hell and it's possible those soldiers strength was enhanced by necron experiments, and I imagine Danica was caught off guard by the fact she thought those were guardsmen on her side! If you actually are WH+ Sub and watch all the shows, lore accuracy isn't the issue, it's budget. Every character in nexus is written very well, down to the cadian soldier with the roughneck attitude that conflicts with the battle sisters unbroken faith in the God emperor!

“Shellshock”
I know she’s likely a figment, but it’s funny to think someone thinks a Kriegsman would have shellshock
I mean, Krieg don’t have magic concussion-proof brains.
Dedication, discipline, resolve, and an unerring willingness to die in battle? Yes.
But concussions are concussions. Shell shock is just what happens to human brains exposed to enough concussive shock waves.
Repeated exposure actually makes you more vulnerable, not less, as the brain’s structure undergoes repeated injury.
When she reloaded, I felt that.
I think that guardswoman is a hallucination. She has no weapon throughout the movie and she is suspiciusly unaffected. Plus she does not seem to agro any of the zombie guardsmen. Just conveniently finds her way to a high ground to say "you are surrounded".
She is not real.
By far the best GW episode can’t wait to see part two
Guardsman: Shell shock maybe?

It's the necrons
Mindshackle scarabs basically burrow into your nervous system and take control. It's not a very precise process in a lot of cases, but it's also not a 'strength of will' or 'faith' thing - the nerves going to your muscles are literally cut and reattached to the scarab.
@@locarno24 Also interesting how the first one says “I can’t atone. Why?” Perhaps they don’t know the capabilities of their adversary?

When you have bolter it's really tempting to solve every problems with it
“Are you hurt soldier?” I feel it
Smart SoB. She closes her visor as she starts blastin'. Only raises it to chit-chat.
so the necrons can basically turn people into mindless zombie soldiers who serve as cannon fodder? i didn't know that; cool scene though. cool to see a sister of battle in action

Will there ever be a movie where the space marines get the drop on the enemy and not get taken out so quickly
If your talking about the Ultramarine Sergent from the earlier scenes, he was actually quite impressive. Deathmarks are dirty cheaters that go into another dimension to avoid being attacked so the fact that he was keeping up with the Deathmark as an unnamed Ultramarine was an accomplishment.
And entire move without that happening at least one? Unlikely, a single episode or two probably. Beside the only space marine who got ambushed so far was the blue boy caption, and he was alone and being hunted by probably the nost op assassin class in the 40k universe thats isn't a named character.
@@sirpieman300 That Deathmark had a name though.(I think, may need to rewatch his introduction) Which puts him even further above the Sergent on 40k's weird power scale.

This is how you do "strong independent female leads" it makes sense, it's not forced, and they still feel human.
......... Sure.......If by "strong" you mean you have to stack the deck so heavily in her favor there is no actual threat to her posed by her enemy, and if by "independent" you mean you throw out most of your lore for ESG points. Personally I like my story to have reasons for me to care.
"What you are, sister, is surrounded."
My response would have been.....
"OH, you mean a target rich environment, emperor blesses me with perfect accuracy, because, I CANT MISS IF IM SURROUNDED!!!"
Wish she saved a bolt for the sardonic guardsmen.
Same. Here's hoping she's a hallucination.
More likely she is a figment of the sister's imagination as the guardsman was not even attacked by the zombies.
She isn't real. And sister probably aware of that. It will just be a wasted of ammo.
Given were they are. Their on a planet with blackstone pylons that cease connections to the warp this very well could be a hallucination.
