Imperium Maledictum is the new rpg from Cubicle 7 and it looks much better than Wrath and Glory. They streamlined the rules, gave you more options. You can literally play as a health and safety officer working for an adminstratum prefect, or being an acolyte now. To make the game faster they also dumped having detailed distances and combats instead you divy up combat maps into "zones" which are meant to be areas around 20 meters in size. Does make combat a lot faster.
Rimmy I'm sorry you lost your job as a XXth Commanding officer because all your soldiers were disobeying orders and Framed you for heresy and beat you up. With the inquisitor Witnessing all of this. and not lifting a finger.
Traitor: "I will take the Warrant of Trade with me!" Rogue Trader: *Points at the room sized paper* "So you intend to take that? I would love to see how you do that. It took 290 servitors a week to fit that thing in here."
I love the idea that this particular family had so many people steal their warrant of trade over the centuries that at some point they just remade it as this room-sized contraption, and it has been so long since then that everyone just assumes that is how it has always been
A fun thing of Rogue Traders vs Inquisitors. Inquisitors were appointed by the High Lords of Terra / Malacador the Sigilite While the Rogue Trader's warrant comes from the Emperor. So technically Rogue Trafer's have a higher authority
The high lords can also issue a warrent of trade and make new rouge traders it's often done as punishment for high end nobility and inquisitiors to promote/demote them into a rouge trader and telling them to piss off
Except the powers granted by the rogue trader only apply outside the imperium space while inquisitors and other high ranking members apply inside imperium
It depends on the Trader. Many were indeed signed by the Emperor himself, but many after the Horus Heresy were issued by the High Lords. That said, technically they have more authority than the Inquisition, especially together, and so Rogue Traders may very well be above the authority of the Inquisition so long as they stay within the bounds of Imperial law. That said, technical immunity doesn't matter when the foaming-at-the-mouth fanatics all look the other way out of piety.
Ok Cassia is not fucked up, it is just that she believed that is what all Nobles did to their servants because that is specifically what House Orsellio does to their servants, and she was basically raised inside of that station so she didn't really have the chance to learn about other places, like she straight up has never seen a beach despite being a Noble lady, she has spent all her life training to be a navigator and continue her family's trade. She is incredibly sweet and cute, I won't tolerate any Cassia slander
One of my favorite space wolf books involves them protecting the new head of House Belisarius, and it is a little girl who is already so used to the idea of assassinations from within her own family that she just straight up tells them that the attempt is most likely from an uncle or cousin.
I wanted to comment on something like this. But my hate blinded me in another one. At the moment, I am nearing the end of the Romance arc with Cassia, I think. She is a sweet, if… Extraordinary Lady that expresses what she sees in an eloquent manner that touches the mind and souls of those around her. Albeit, quite profoundly at times if she’s not careful. All I say is; choose your words wisely and play the game nobles play. If you’re having trouble, read a book from your library about the arts of etiquette. She will find it quite enriching, as you find her just as. I do hope that in the end; House Orsellio joins the Von Valancius Dynasty and changes the Koronus Expanse forevermore in their Union, for the betterment of it’s inhabitants and be a boon for the Imperium during its darkest times.
Get well Rimmy and survive Nurgle's christmas gift. Also, the bareboned DDosing by chanting better than the herertics was truly hilarious. also, did the BDSM space elves blow or steal that sun? Didn't they use stolen suns to power Commorragh?
Stole the suns to power Commoragh, use them as weapons, decorations, political leverage and an instant death trap after teleporting poor souls with their fancy tech into the heart of the suns to get incinerated.
Spoiler: They stole it and you later find a machine made by a dark Eldar that the sun is powering. You can blow it up and open and warp portal in Commorragh
@@kriegertechpriest7011I thought all Imperial tanks were pseudo-sentient due to their brain powered cogitators. What about those Land Raiders that reportedly continued killing heretics after its crew were dead.
Craftworld Iyanden is another good example of Eldar being open with their intentions, and it honestly worked out pretty well for them. The Inquisition has a permanent embassy and representative on the craftworld, and they plan which planets can be settled by which group. I think they even have joint defense fleets. One of the guys in the Last Chancers series is in the penal legion for stealing the Eldar ambassador's hovercar.
"wait you mean we don't have to manipulate them into doing things that are objectively in both of our interests but in a way that will make things infinitely worse than they could have been?
Incredible that Rimmy didn't immediately fawn over the tomboy sister of battle. I know that took restraint buddy, proud of ya. Also holy crap the officer build is INSANELY fun, just never let your opponents act ever again.
Looking at how the heretic sniper rocked and rolled the whole party during the "Aurora" fight, methinks a sniper might be a necessity in this game. Maybe. So, maybe an officer-sniper, perhaps? Or just an officer with a sniper rifle and really good accuracy, IDK. Assuming that officer party buffs have no range limit.
Every person I know who plays this game has used that exact same portrait; whoever made that art didn't just nail it, every bolter round they shot hit, and then the Rogue Trader ordered them to do it again, and they DID! Also, there are some HILARIOUS stories about Idira: my favorite is when somebody used her powers for the first time, and she instantly died, and spawned a Bloodletter, who then killed the entire party. Psykers in Rogue Trader, everyone! (Also also, feel better soon, Rimmy!)
@@ham_the_spam4423It's more specifically Idira (though her powers are more support-oriented) because her being unsanctioned means she got a flat chance to cause a fucky-wucky even if the veil is stable.
@@mranderson9553 Bloodletters are basically just the foot soldiers of Khorne, so they aren't THAT dangerous...unless you're on a high difficulty, and the timing of it happening is very, very bad.
when I heard of Rogue Traders and their warrants of trade, I didn't expect THAT BEHEMOTH ( 3:24 ) to be it, I often forget through reading and watching videos of just how over the top Warhammer is, then this shit reminds me
The size of the warrant proper depends on the dynasty. The warrant isn't just a permission slip, it's a historical record of everything the dynasty has done and owned, so some of the newer ones fit in a stasis-sealed scroll tube that you could wear on your chest, while others are so grand that they're kept in an Administratum data-vault and the bearer of the warrant just carries a cliffs notes version.
@@AGrumpyPanda And the one in the game is closer to the latter given that the Von Valancius Warrant was literally signed by the Emperor when he was still walking about.
@@AGrumpyPandaThe game itself made that error tbh. It specifically states that von Valencius warrant was signed by the Emperor. So unless that behemoth in the vault is the cliffnotes (which would make the whole attempt to steal it quite pointless) then Owlcat made a little bit of a lore cockup.
Well, big E been stuck on throne for...... well he got his ass vacum sealed to the throne in M31, dunno in what Milenium we currently are but it would be usually in M41 Knowing how absolutely BLOATED administratum and shit like that is at this point, i wouldn't be suprised if some von Valencius at some point just wanted more prestiege by saying that, and since Rogue Trader, who's in their right mind gonna argue?
The important thing to remember about the interrogator, is that you might have the power as a rogue trader to no care. But they'll be an inquisitor some day. If the emperor protects them. And no one wants an inquisitor for an enemy
Plus also telling a servant of an Inquisitor to f**k off tends to result in the servant reporting it, and the Inquisitor immediately assuming you are doing something horribly illegal.
"He tragically perished when our venerable vessel came under attack on the outskirts of the trade periphery. No body was able to be recovered because the entire section got blown open to the void of space. Such a tragic loss Lord Inquisitor." Also known as Dark Angels doctrine.
- Pasqal threatening a planetary governor with a drill. - The scene where the Dark Eldar show up. - Finding a lonely bald monk in an a abandoned space station in the middle of nowhere, then a moment of sudden horror when you hear the sound of something clawed running in your direction, and it suddenly dawns on you what exactly is wrong with his face...
I love that moment when the Ship’s Machine Spirit asks if I needed assistance. Laughed out loud as I without hesitation said “Yes!” because I knew what the very question meant. Poor fools.
GW's legal and PR departments truly flummox me. Only ones who have less sense of how much the community created content funds interests for their games are probably Nintendo and Wizards of the Coast.
It's a hard line to walk legally, because you have to protect your IP if you want the full protections of the law. The legal system generally frowns on private actors arbitrarily deciding when something is or is not an offence, for good reason, but the downside of that is you need to at least be seen to be consistent. Remember also that judges aren't going to be aware of all the ins and outs of your company's community relations, and ultimately that's who will rule on whether your claims are valid or not. It's not fully GW's fault, just as the OGL fiasco isn't fully WotC's fault, while it's possible they could have handled it better, they are trying to operate in a legal system that does not provide the flexibility these companies need for proper community management. The whole world of mods and fan content is an emerging area of law that is far from settled, which has been complicated even further in recent years by the rise of AI. This is a lot more complicated than many of the creators who have no background in law make it out to be.
@@kapitankapital6580 Unfortunately, every gamer, modder and content creator are law and IP experts. And in their expert opinion, IP holders are mostly moustache twirling villains who hold the IP they created hostage, out of the hands of fan communities who everyone knows understand, love and work harder for than said villains and their corporate slaves. Jokes aside, it's not surprising modders and fan content creators tend to be clueless about this yet the most problematic bunch. It's admirable that they put out usually free or at least minimally monetized work, but that hardly gives them insight into long term strategy and IP protection, things any responsible IP holder needs to consider. But because the former group are "creating", they feel they have insight into what it means to create a full blown product when they really don't. And then when they get transactional and start claiming they and the community are owed something because of their free work, it starts to get ugly. And that point you raise is really, really important. I always emphasize to detractors that if you don't protect your IP, it hurts your ability to defend hypothetical future attacks on it. Laws in many countries allow a certain degree of fair use, but even that usually requires explicit, not tacit, permission from the IP holder. Allowing some fan projects severely decreases your ability to oppose actual malicious actors. And these bad actors are real, and can come knocking with the most ludicrous of claims or infringements. Companies can potentially spend millions on truckloads of cases you will never hear about in public, because individually they aren't big cases. But they're there. The law, as you say, offers little flexibility in practice here. Independent of legal issues, I also think that fans idea of a community based content ecosystem being the only way is oddly myopic to the various possible business strategies out there, and is notably self-serving. Nintendo was pointed out in the first post, but Nintendo has only in relatively recent years started to get flak, mostly due to video game lets-play VODs, and only from a burgeoning new generation of content creators who were used to playing any game under the sun for content. Nintendo's policy against infringement goes way back decades, is hardly a surprise nor an issue for many older fans, and has been very strictly enforced. I think few can argue it's bought it's own kind of success where there is very little dilution of it's IPs and they have full control over every aspect of it. Could they find success having a more open content model? Sure, but it wouldn't be the same, and it wouldn't necessarily be better. There's no such thing as a one-size-fits-all business model. But then again, content creators often don't any experience that tells them otherwise.
@@kapitankapital6580 Hey just to be clear this entire argument is bullshit. Microsoft allows fans to create insane content with the Halo franchise without bringing legal teams onto them every time they make a game, or mod, or full blown animation. They're actually very supportive of the fan community, and that's coming from fucking Microsoft. There's plenty of other companies that support their fans utilising their IPs. Microsoft has not magically lost control of its Halo IP. It is absolutely GW's fault, just as the OGL fiasco IS fully WotC's fault. These are the same people that sent the fucking Pinkertons after a youtuber for their OWN fuck-up (by sending him cards early). Remove their boot from your mouth, this is the same bullshit argument GW simps use to defend GW all the time.
@@RimmyDownunder This is primarily due to: A) GW is a European based firm, UK. So it can't go "American firm, fuck your local law" B) Germany is a huge market C) German courts have actually forced their hand
That warrant of trade is an absolutely perfect aesthetic, of course it's the size of a giant industrial loom. Absolutely nailed that part of the brief.
Pascal is so far my favorite companion, just imagine a tech priest armed with a power cog axe and a long las held in his mechanical arm. Comical and badass at the same time.
can he be upgraded to be like the priests from the Mechanicus game, dual wielding giant guns with their back mechanical limbs, holding a mighty axe, and with brains in jars on top of their backpack?
@@ham_the_spam4423 i can only speak for the mid game, he can get a power claw and healing appendage through his talents, but his specialty is rather than having two weapon loadouts he only has one, but both count as two hander slots so i have him as a melee dude with a sniper for anyone out of range
@@mranderson9553 so just 1 extra limb after his gun arm? a little disappointing, I was hoping he becomes a metal spider like his brethren in Mechanicus
40:49 The story you're thinking of is from Ghostmaker. An Eldar Warlock trying to close a Webway gate creates an illusion which causes the Tanith to see the fight as a defense of the Governor's Palace on Tanith and the Volpone Bluebloods see it as a battle they lost in the past. The best part as I recall is that none of his guard are aware of this plan so there's just a bunch of confused Eldar wondering what the humans are talking about and just rolling with it.
29:00 I love that side of 40k too, 'tis why I made my necromunda gang a bunch of defectors from the guard who have hidden in the underhive to escape their fate after fighting at a dead city The Skull. I call them the 'Mundan Nth as they all still hold to the imperium, but are no longer in the guard.
"The other reason I'm doing this is because they're paying me a lot of money" Spoken like a true Rouge Trader, you're gonna have a great time with this. Have you considered doing one-shot or even mini-series on the TTRPG this game is based on? I know it's out of print, but considering how epic the forum posts are, the popularity of LP's of other TTRPGS, & the chemistry of you & your friends, I feel like you could do something great with it.
The Tanith thing is done to warp fuckery by one of the Eldar seers, the Tanith *think* they're fighting alongside fellow Tanith during the fall of their homeworld. The Eldar were like "WTF is going?!" but were happy for the strange help. Ghostmaker IIRC is the book.
Yes, it's actually quite early on in the Ghost novels. It's 3 different regiments all remembering their 'pivotal moment' going differently. It was some important battle for the Bluebloods, something else for the Deepers and then obviously the Fall of Tanith for the Tanith.
@@RimmyDownunder even more notable is the fact that the tanith fought off an entire army with only ONE casulty..a soldier who had an absurdly lucky run and had convinced himself he was invincible..only to be killed by an unlucky ricochet at the end of the battle..they were just THAT invested in "saving thier world" after having failed to do it the first time. the Imperium took one look at the record for the battle, decreed it impossible and officially stated it never happened. It's a bit of a running gag with the Ghosts...in the very fist book Gaunt was promised "the first world you take you get to keep" by the dying previous Warmaster...a couple books in Gaunt acknowledges that despite being a legal, theoretically binding order..it's NEVER going to happen. buuut.....by the (current) end of the series he's pretty much on a fast track to become the next Warmaster anyhow...so there's that.
Ive played this games since day one man its a load of fun. It has its small issues of being unclear what to do but its still amazing totally glad I get to see Rimmy play. Also Cassia is the best Romance in any RPG hands down. It punishes you for being super upfront and requires a subtle kind of romance like in a medieval fairytale and actually gets wholesome later down the line. It is a shame that Argenta isnt romancable but that likely will change in the future. But Pasqual is quite fun to speak to and is a fun dude. Hes also a monster in combat and if you haven't id recommend making him a assassin archetype.
Romancing Argenta would be like romancing a dedicated body-building nun, which seems to have problems what with being married to god already... you could become best of friends though, which is still epic
"Argenta isnt romancable but that likely will change in the future" Doubtful. Owlcat is notorious for having companions that people want to romance but they refuse to make them romancable. Like Linzi, Amiri, Nenio and a couple of others from their Pathfinder games for example. There's no reason for Argenta to not be a romance option, because most Sisters of Battle don't actually take vows of chastity. They just won't because they probably can't be bothered to retroactively add content to an established character for free.
Owlcat makes some damn great RPGs. Problem I have is that Owlcat tends to leave have some serious bugs in their games and then moving on to the next. The bugs they do patch take quite a while. Another problem I have is that they'll most likely attempt (or be forced to attempt) to quietly package borderline spyware into their game, then take it out if enough push back is achieved. They've done this more than once. It'll probably be as easy as blocking any connection that certain packets will be sent through, but the fact that I'd have to do that is silly. I still remember my first Rogue Trader campaign (the Tabletop), such fond moments I look back on. And I've love to play this game to see if I'll have such fond memories of this game in the future...however given some of the negative reviews I've read, it seems this game suffers from the same problems as Owlcat's older games, and modern games in general. Undercooking.
I really love the space combat in this game. It’s one of the few sci-fi games I’ve played where I can say that, unfortunately. Also, good on Owlcat for giving us an Adepta Sororitas who isn’t romanceable and a Space Wolf (also not romanceable) instead of a Blueberry or other more commonly used Chapter. Ulfar is my boi.
Rimmy, your passion for this subject and in general shown via your videos makes the world slightly brighter and better. Cheers for you and goodwill for your health.
Yeah for real the boltet sound in this game is so good. You hear the 1st stage propulsion, then the 2nd stage rocket engine starts combusting for the rest of the flight
Ah the only people with names longer than the Adeptus Custodes, the Rouge Traders. This game is actually pretty fun. I don't normally play these kinds of games, but I'm glad that I gave it a try. BTW when you did the "Do you hear the voices to!?" line from Dawn of war got me to go and play teh Ultimate Apocalypes mod for the series again.
28:52 100% agree with this, i would like more renegade Imperials who aren't Chaos. We could have almost had that with Huron and his tax evasion but no, he eventually turned Chaos himself
My favorite part of this overall video was the fact that you actually went out of your way to explain some of the stuff that would be less obvious to newer people.
Regarding the "return to the imperium" option on the warp map - there are a couple hidden skill checks there, I think the first is the medicare one, right on the first screen after trying to travel. If you pass them (can save scum to try and pass them) - you get to travel through a couple more locations, with cool scenes. And a very epic ending.
This lad straight up attacking my navigator waifu 😦 (and yes the Aurora VO was... passable at best).... now please excuse me I have slaaneshi daemons to summon.
You mention rebels never just being rebels in 40k, or at least not ending up as just rebels, and I think it would be fascinating to have a rebel faction in 40k that's just straight up following a modern religion. Like, you have small sects of Buddhists who managed to survive for so long by being the first to settle in far-space solar systems when the Emperor was still alive, Catholics who survived by masking their practices as ones toward the emperor, more pagan beliefs blending in with the mechanics, or in the depths of a factory world, all for one reason or another revolting against the modern Imperium.
I was going to hold out until they patched out the bugs you bastard but you convinced me I needed to play now. Thus begins the voyages of Malcador Sanguinius Habsburg-Sabbat the LIVth in his voidship the Expedient Solution
12:41 I think the book is in the Forges of Mars Trilogy, through something happening aboard the Ark Mechanicus vessel The Speranza one the Servitors regained memories of their life. The one they attributed also eventually became a sort of saint to all on the vessel due to events that happen later in the trilogy.
God DAMN I'm so happy you've covered this game! The second I realized that Owlcat was creating another CRPG it's been waiting on my wishlist, and I'm so glad that I wasn't wrong in my hopes I can't wait to get the money to buy the damn thing :(
4:34 Literally did the same thing and had quite the reaction upon seeing my character’s name displayed. His full name was “Sir Hans Hansburg, the 27th of My Name, Aeos Venria De Vahl Auf Calixis.”
I've been having an absolute blast with this game and I also have a lot of 40k knowledge that I keep figuring out plot points beforehand with. Looking forward to your full breakdown, but I'd love to see you continue this playthrough in a series of videos too.
I screwed up with the slanesh cult fight and I didn't go right after them, I accidentally backed up and left the building which gave them enough time to convert the guards, which made the fight hellish where I had to rush down the maid then cover fight the guards for like 10 turns
I named my RT after my first and so far only Rogue Trader. Sherily Tempest regional Rogue Trader of Emperor Burger! The Imperium's finest burger establishment. His mother really wanted a daughter. And his hatred of unions, Saint Wendies and betrayal was second to none. Yes grimdripped things hard and had a lot of fun just being a giant lethal joke.
holy shit... no more 40k arma?? ill ofc still be watching but RIP to what got me into this channel and what kept me watching... as a major 40k fanboy i cant stand a day without it...
That flu is just Papa Nurgle's way of showing his love for you by hugging your insides. Seriously speaking, thank you for the fun video, Rimmy. I hope you get well soon, so that you can better enjoy this great game.
As a person who knows a very a basic idea of the 40k universe and finds it very interesting. It always enjoyable to watch Rimmy play a 40k game and just rant about all the intriguing lore.
I can’t wait for Rimmy to make Cassia do disgusting amounts of damage, hit act 3 with twists involving multiple characters and to experience how broken act 4 is at release.
Really sorry to hear how sick you were Rimmy hope you got better quickly PS really grateful you’re continuing this at some point you always have some of the best takes when it comes to 40K
I love this game so much, beta was so fun and loving the final release just as much. I made a Commissar from a Forge World that takes after Cain and has realised "Wait, I don't have to inspire the troops on the frontline so I can just sit back with a sniper". And to be fair I genuinely love all the companions except really Jae, but she is also pretty damn strong in combat and checks so she kinda gets a pass. My favourites are Cassia because she is just adorable, and Pasqal because nothing better then a Mechanics Magos being a Mechanicus Magos to perfection imo. Edit: Side note, with the right gear and skills you can make Argenta a literal death god WITH HER STARTING BOLTER ALONE. Her, along with my sniper commissar and the elf everyone is going to make the Liara of W40K, basically handle all the damage.
Well this was an incredibly pleasant surprise to see in my feed! I've certainly understood and respected your issues with GW and your decision to cut ties, but I've been super excited for this game and can't afford it myself at the moment, and there's absolutely nobody I'd rather watch play it.
12:30 I know exactly which story he’s talking about. It was a subplot in the Forges of Mars book series. Not gonna spoil anything, but I highly recommend it. So many good twists and turns.
You know, I had read a review of this game that gave it like a 51% out of 100, and thought mabye I'd skip this one, but it looks absolutely fantastic, this will be like the second or 3rd game rummy has gotten me to buy darn it!
the "forge of mars"-trilogy including "priests of mars", "gods of mars", "lords of mars" (in no particular order here) includes sentient servitors aboard the mechanicus ark "esperanza" rimmy speaks of. has also nice descriptions of machine spirits working and the techpriests diving into their consciousness. and titans. and black templars. and a terrifying arco-flagellant.
37:56 My introduction to 40K was the Dawn of War games, which always had outside nature levels. I've always loved those the most. The never-ending dingy metal corridors of Imperial hive worlds and starships are dull as room-temperature piss. That's why I can never get as excited watching Dark Tide levels as I did Vermintide.
12:30 Oh I remember that it was during the second book of the forges of mars trilogy. Yeah a bondsman who was forcibly recruited on an Arc-Mechanicus had a special implant that let him do freaky shit like awaken an Argo-flagellant that fights several space marines at once
id love to watch this video Rimmy, but i want to experience this game myself without Spoilers. I will watch it when done playing :) Loved the intro thought

A fun thing of Rogue Traders vs Inquisitors.
Inquisitors were appointed by the High Lords of Terra / Malacador the Sigilite
While the Rogue Trader's warrant comes from the Emperor.
So technically Rogue Trafer's have a higher authority
The high lords can also issue a warrent of trade and make new rouge traders it's often done as punishment for high end nobility and inquisitiors to promote/demote them into a rouge trader and telling them to piss off
from my perspective, is a poeer struggle.
The lines have become muddier on who holds power
Tell that to the damn inquisitors and their assassins.
*grumbles in annoyance at the inquisition trying to use me like a damn pawn*
Except the powers granted by the rogue trader only apply outside the imperium space while inquisitors and other high ranking members apply inside imperium
It depends on the Trader. Many were indeed signed by the Emperor himself, but many after the Horus Heresy were issued by the High Lords. That said, technically they have more authority than the Inquisition, especially together, and so Rogue Traders may very well be above the authority of the Inquisition so long as they stay within the bounds of Imperial law. That said, technical immunity doesn't matter when the foaming-at-the-mouth fanatics all look the other way out of piety.
Ok Cassia is not fucked up, it is just that she believed that is what all Nobles did to their servants because that is specifically what House Orsellio does to their servants, and she was basically raised inside of that station so she didn't really have the chance to learn about other places, like she straight up has never seen a beach despite being a Noble lady, she has spent all her life training to be a navigator and continue her family's trade.
She is incredibly sweet and cute, I won't tolerate any Cassia slander
She’s my baby and I won’t let anyone hurt her.
One of my favorite space wolf books involves them protecting the new head of House Belisarius, and it is a little girl who is already so used to the idea of assassinations from within her own family that she just straight up tells them that the attempt is most likely from an uncle or cousin.
if he had told that's not normal she would been shocked and introspective and admitted she doesn't know everything
Yeah, when judging morality in 40k you have to grade on a curve due to the circumstances many find themselves in.
I wanted to comment on something like this. But my hate blinded me in another one.
At the moment, I am nearing the end of the Romance arc with Cassia, I think. She is a sweet, if… Extraordinary Lady that expresses what she sees in an eloquent manner that touches the mind and souls of those around her. Albeit, quite profoundly at times if she’s not careful.
All I say is; choose your words wisely and play the game nobles play. If you’re having trouble, read a book from your library about the arts of etiquette. She will find it quite enriching, as you find her just as.
I do hope that in the end; House Orsellio joins the Von Valancius Dynasty and changes the Koronus Expanse forevermore in their Union, for the betterment of it’s inhabitants and be a boon for the Imperium during its darkest times.
Get well Rimmy and survive Nurgle's christmas gift. Also, the bareboned DDosing by chanting better than the herertics was truly hilarious. also, did the BDSM space elves blow or steal that sun? Didn't they use stolen suns to power Commorragh?
Stole the suns to power Commoragh, use them as weapons, decorations, political leverage and an instant death trap after teleporting poor souls with their fancy tech into the heart of the suns to get incinerated.
No, they use explosions from the birth of miniature artificial universes, like in men in black.
yup pretty sure they did
also look up the solar cult
Yeah, they are called the Captive Suns or Black Suns and the Dark Eldar think it's hilarious that they can enslave the stars themselves
Spoiler:
They stole it and you later find a machine made by a dark Eldar that the sun is powering. You can blow it up and open and warp portal in Commorragh
I’m a simple tank, I see Rimmy and Warhammer and I click.
I could take a baneblade any day. Try me.
I know this trick, you're not a tank, you're an Ork!
Im a simple techpreist, I see a sentient tank, I report it for tech heresy
Sorcery witch!!!!
@@thecamocampaindude5167 Do not fret, its been reported
@@kriegertechpriest7011I thought all Imperial tanks were pseudo-sentient due to their brain powered cogitators. What about those Land Raiders that reportedly continued killing heretics after its crew were dead.
Craftworld Iyanden is another good example of Eldar being open with their intentions, and it honestly worked out pretty well for them. The Inquisition has a permanent embassy and representative on the craftworld, and they plan which planets can be settled by which group. I think they even have joint defense fleets.
One of the guys in the Last Chancers series is in the penal legion for stealing the Eldar ambassador's hovercar.
"wait you mean we don't have to manipulate them into doing things that are objectively in both of our interests but in a way that will make things infinitely worse than they could have been?
The last sentence threw me off into the void with how funny that is to imagine
Yes, prince Yriel is quite open about his intentions to rob you.
Imagine stealing the enemy ambassadors car then a fucking inquisitor comes up and sentences you to a penal colony
Iyanden are the Lamenters of the Eldar, they've been through so fucking much.
Incredible that Rimmy didn't immediately fawn over the tomboy sister of battle. I know that took restraint buddy, proud of ya. Also holy crap the officer build is INSANELY fun, just never let your opponents act ever again.
Looking at how the heretic sniper rocked and rolled the whole party during the "Aurora" fight, methinks a sniper might be a necessity in this game. Maybe.
So, maybe an officer-sniper, perhaps? Or just an officer with a sniper rifle and really good accuracy, IDK. Assuming that officer party buffs have no range limit.
@@mirceazaharia2094that bastard nearly wiped me
@@mirceazaharia2094 My battle went more like "Sister Argenta, please use your 4th turn this round to slap his nuts"
@@mirceazaharia2094 build them right, and snipers can fuck
Argenta can Bolter down hoards in a turn.
But a Sniper, quite litterally can 1 shot a boss
Every person I know who plays this game has used that exact same portrait; whoever made that art didn't just nail it, every bolter round they shot hit, and then the Rogue Trader ordered them to do it again, and they DID!
Also, there are some HILARIOUS stories about Idira: my favorite is when somebody used her powers for the first time, and she instantly died, and spawned a Bloodletter, who then killed the entire party. Psykers in Rogue Trader, everyone!
(Also also, feel better soon, Rimmy!)
Psykers either smite several heretics at once with their powers or explode and summon a daemon, yeah that sounds about right
@@ham_the_spam4423It's more specifically Idira (though her powers are more support-oriented) because her being unsanctioned means she got a flat chance to cause a fucky-wucky even if the veil is stable.
hold on the worst i've seen is a demonett, you're telling me the perils of the warp can spawn a whole ass bloodthrister
@@mranderson9553 Bloodletters are basically just the foot soldiers of Khorne, so they aren't THAT dangerous...unless you're on a high difficulty, and the timing of it happening is very, very bad.
As someone who plays a psyker it's even more fun when you have twice the chance.
Argenta's reactions to you when you are nice and accommodating to her is so adorable.
when I heard of Rogue Traders and their warrants of trade, I didn't expect THAT BEHEMOTH ( 3:24 ) to be it, I often forget through reading and watching videos of just how over the top Warhammer is, then this shit reminds me
The size of the warrant proper depends on the dynasty. The warrant isn't just a permission slip, it's a historical record of everything the dynasty has done and owned, so some of the newer ones fit in a stasis-sealed scroll tube that you could wear on your chest, while others are so grand that they're kept in an Administratum data-vault and the bearer of the warrant just carries a cliffs notes version.
@@AGrumpyPanda And the one in the game is closer to the latter given that the Von Valancius Warrant was literally signed by the Emperor when he was still walking about.
@@magni5648 Not even closer; the ones signed by the Emperor or a primarch directly are kept in a sealed vault on Terra itself.
@@AGrumpyPandaThe game itself made that error tbh. It specifically states that von Valencius warrant was signed by the Emperor. So unless that behemoth in the vault is the cliffnotes (which would make the whole attempt to steal it quite pointless) then Owlcat made a little bit of a lore cockup.
Well, big E been stuck on throne for...... well he got his ass vacum sealed to the throne in M31, dunno in what Milenium we currently are but it would be usually in M41
Knowing how absolutely BLOATED administratum and shit like that is at this point, i wouldn't be suprised if some von Valencius at some point just wanted more prestiege by saying that, and since Rogue Trader, who's in their right mind gonna argue?
The important thing to remember about the interrogator, is that you might have the power as a rogue trader to no care. But they'll be an inquisitor some day. If the emperor protects them. And no one wants an inquisitor for an enemy
Plus also telling a servant of an Inquisitor to f**k off tends to result in the servant reporting it, and the Inquisitor immediately assuming you are doing something horribly illegal.
"He tragically perished when our venerable vessel came under attack on the outskirts of the trade periphery. No body was able to be recovered because the entire section got blown open to the void of space. Such a tragic loss Lord Inquisitor."

My top 3 moments from this game. 3. Summoning a plague bearer while fighting a chaos marine. 2. Meeting the AILF ranger. 1. The Fidelio saga.
fidelio was great, i'll remember that for a long time
It was very amusing and satisfying to just pocket the money myself, as a Rogue Trader :)
- Pasqal threatening a planetary governor with a drill.
- The scene where the Dark Eldar show up.
- Finding a lonely bald monk in an a abandoned space station in the middle of nowhere, then a moment of sudden horror when you hear the sound of something clawed running in your direction, and it suddenly dawns on you what exactly is wrong with his face...
I love that moment when the Ship’s Machine Spirit asks if I needed assistance. Laughed out loud as I without hesitation said “Yes!” because I knew what the very question meant. Poor fools.
GW's legal and PR departments truly flummox me. Only ones who have less sense of how much the community created content funds interests for their games are probably Nintendo and Wizards of the Coast.
GW are angels compared to Wizards of the Coast.
It's a hard line to walk legally, because you have to protect your IP if you want the full protections of the law. The legal system generally frowns on private actors arbitrarily deciding when something is or is not an offence, for good reason, but the downside of that is you need to at least be seen to be consistent. Remember also that judges aren't going to be aware of all the ins and outs of your company's community relations, and ultimately that's who will rule on whether your claims are valid or not.
It's not fully GW's fault, just as the OGL fiasco isn't fully WotC's fault, while it's possible they could have handled it better, they are trying to operate in a legal system that does not provide the flexibility these companies need for proper community management. The whole world of mods and fan content is an emerging area of law that is far from settled, which has been complicated even further in recent years by the rise of AI. This is a lot more complicated than many of the creators who have no background in law make it out to be.
@@kapitankapital6580 Unfortunately, every gamer, modder and content creator are law and IP experts. And in their expert opinion, IP holders are mostly moustache twirling villains who hold the IP they created hostage, out of the hands of fan communities who everyone knows understand, love and work harder for than said villains and their corporate slaves.
Jokes aside, it's not surprising modders and fan content creators tend to be clueless about this yet the most problematic bunch. It's admirable that they put out usually free or at least minimally monetized work, but that hardly gives them insight into long term strategy and IP protection, things any responsible IP holder needs to consider. But because the former group are "creating", they feel they have insight into what it means to create a full blown product when they really don't. And then when they get transactional and start claiming they and the community are owed something because of their free work, it starts to get ugly.
And that point you raise is really, really important. I always emphasize to detractors that if you don't protect your IP, it hurts your ability to defend hypothetical future attacks on it. Laws in many countries allow a certain degree of fair use, but even that usually requires explicit, not tacit, permission from the IP holder. Allowing some fan projects severely decreases your ability to oppose actual malicious actors. And these bad actors are real, and can come knocking with the most ludicrous of claims or infringements. Companies can potentially spend millions on truckloads of cases you will never hear about in public, because individually they aren't big cases. But they're there. The law, as you say, offers little flexibility in practice here.
Independent of legal issues, I also think that fans idea of a community based content ecosystem being the only way is oddly myopic to the various possible business strategies out there, and is notably self-serving. Nintendo was pointed out in the first post, but Nintendo has only in relatively recent years started to get flak, mostly due to video game lets-play VODs, and only from a burgeoning new generation of content creators who were used to playing any game under the sun for content. Nintendo's policy against infringement goes way back decades, is hardly a surprise nor an issue for many older fans, and has been very strictly enforced. I think few can argue it's bought it's own kind of success where there is very little dilution of it's IPs and they have full control over every aspect of it. Could they find success having a more open content model? Sure, but it wouldn't be the same, and it wouldn't necessarily be better. There's no such thing as a one-size-fits-all business model. But then again, content creators often don't any experience that tells them otherwise.
@@kapitankapital6580 Hey just to be clear this entire argument is bullshit. Microsoft allows fans to create insane content with the Halo franchise without bringing legal teams onto them every time they make a game, or mod, or full blown animation. They're actually very supportive of the fan community, and that's coming from fucking Microsoft. There's plenty of other companies that support their fans utilising their IPs. Microsoft has not magically lost control of its Halo IP.
It is absolutely GW's fault, just as the OGL fiasco IS fully WotC's fault. These are the same people that sent the fucking Pinkertons after a youtuber for their OWN fuck-up (by sending him cards early). Remove their boot from your mouth, this is the same bullshit argument GW simps use to defend GW all the time.
@@RimmyDownunder This is primarily due to:
A) GW is a European based firm, UK. So it can't go "American firm, fuck your local law"
B) Germany is a huge market
C) German courts have actually forced their hand
Nurgle tried everything it could to keep Rimmy from uploading this video... Truly the Emperor protects... Great vid as always.
That warrant of trade is an absolutely perfect aesthetic, of course it's the size of a giant industrial loom. Absolutely nailed that part of the brief.
cool
edit: Im instantly in love with this game for making Rimmy's name extra long
Pascal is so far my favorite companion, just imagine a tech priest armed with a power cog axe and a long las held in his mechanical arm. Comical and badass at the same time.
Ive got him in my party Equiped with a plasma rifle I found just before the Aurora fight, LEts just say that he came in clutch
can he be upgraded to be like the priests from the Mechanicus game, dual wielding giant guns with their back mechanical limbs, holding a mighty axe, and with brains in jars on top of their backpack?
@@ham_the_spam4423 A Heavy Bolter and a Thunder Hammer. Literal segmentum threat.
@@ham_the_spam4423 i can only speak for the mid game, he can get a power claw and healing appendage through his talents, but his specialty is rather than having two weapon loadouts he only has one, but both count as two hander slots so i have him as a melee dude with a sniper for anyone out of range
@@mranderson9553 so just 1 extra limb after his gun arm? a little disappointing, I was hoping he becomes a metal spider like his brethren in Mechanicus

Argenta's bloodline definitely includes at least one Floridian who had to be reminded not to shoot at hurricanes.
PLEASE keep playing this game. Your humor combined with actual knowledge of 40k made this one of the best videos I've seen on this game yet.
The Aurora CSM is actually from the Word Bearers (Lorgar's giant choir boys)
He said during my playthrough "Monarkia will be avenged"
40:49 The story you're thinking of is from Ghostmaker. An Eldar Warlock trying to close a Webway gate creates an illusion which causes the Tanith to see the fight as a defense of the Governor's Palace on Tanith and the Volpone Bluebloods see it as a battle they lost in the past. The best part as I recall is that none of his guard are aware of this plan so there's just a bunch of confused Eldar wondering what the humans are talking about and just rolling with it.
29:00 I love that side of 40k too, 'tis why I made my necromunda gang a bunch of defectors from the guard who have hidden in the underhive to escape their fate after fighting at a dead city The Skull. I call them the 'Mundan Nth as they all still hold to the imperium, but are no longer in the guard.
"The other reason I'm doing this is because they're paying me a lot of money"
Spoken like a true Rouge Trader, you're gonna have a great time with this.
Have you considered doing one-shot or even mini-series on the TTRPG this game is based on? I know it's out of print, but considering how epic the forum posts are, the popularity of LP's of other TTRPGS, & the chemistry of you & your friends, I feel like you could do something great with it.
The Tanith thing is done to warp fuckery by one of the Eldar seers, the Tanith *think* they're fighting alongside fellow Tanith during the fall of their homeworld. The Eldar were like "WTF is going?!" but were happy for the strange help.
Ghostmaker IIRC is the book.
Yes, it's actually quite early on in the Ghost novels. It's 3 different regiments all remembering their 'pivotal moment' going differently. It was some important battle for the Bluebloods, something else for the Deepers and then obviously the Fall of Tanith for the Tanith.
@@RimmyDownunder Weird, I thought that 40K's lovable not-Aussies didn't show up until Necropolis, but yep...turns out they were in Ghostmaker.
@@RimmyDownunder even more notable is the fact that the tanith fought off an entire army with only ONE casulty..a soldier who had an absurdly lucky run and had convinced himself he was invincible..only to be killed by an unlucky ricochet at the end of the battle..they were just THAT invested in "saving thier world" after having failed to do it the first time. the Imperium took one look at the record for the battle, decreed it impossible and officially stated it never happened. It's a bit of a running gag with the Ghosts...in the very fist book Gaunt was promised "the first world you take you get to keep" by the dying previous Warmaster...a couple books in Gaunt acknowledges that despite being a legal, theoretically binding order..it's NEVER going to happen. buuut.....by the (current) end of the series he's pretty much on a fast track to become the next Warmaster anyhow...so there's that.

Great read.
RIP Rimmy, gets back into 40k only to succumb to Nurgle's Rot.
His next video will just be him counting all the diseases in Skyrim
Ive played this games since day one man its a load of fun. It has its small issues of being unclear what to do but its still amazing totally glad I get to see Rimmy play.
Also Cassia is the best Romance in any RPG hands down. It punishes you for being super upfront and requires a subtle kind of romance like in a medieval fairytale and actually gets wholesome later down the line. It is a shame that Argenta isnt romancable but that likely will change in the future. But Pasqual is quite fun to speak to and is a fun dude. Hes also a monster in combat and if you haven't id recommend making him a assassin archetype.
thats only because the COWARDS at owlcat didnt let us fuck pascal, the cutest boi
Was just going to mention that Cassia is precious
Shes not that creepy and honestly between romancing the Hendrix and Jae shes the more appealing option and it helps she shows up first.
Romancing Argenta would be like romancing a dedicated body-building nun, which seems to have problems what with being married to god already... you could become best of friends though, which is still epic
"Argenta isnt romancable but that likely will change in the future"
Doubtful. Owlcat is notorious for having companions that people want to romance but they refuse to make them romancable. Like Linzi, Amiri, Nenio and a couple of others from their Pathfinder games for example. There's no reason for Argenta to not be a romance option, because most Sisters of Battle don't actually take vows of chastity. They just won't because they probably can't be bothered to retroactively add content to an established character for free.
Owlcat makes some damn great RPGs. Problem I have is that Owlcat tends to leave have some serious bugs in their games and then moving on to the next. The bugs they do patch take quite a while. Another problem I have is that they'll most likely attempt (or be forced to attempt) to quietly package borderline spyware into their game, then take it out if enough push back is achieved. They've done this more than once. It'll probably be as easy as blocking any connection that certain packets will be sent through, but the fact that I'd have to do that is silly.
I still remember my first Rogue Trader campaign (the Tabletop), such fond moments I look back on. And I've love to play this game to see if I'll have such fond memories of this game in the future...however given some of the negative reviews I've read, it seems this game suffers from the same problems as Owlcat's older games, and modern games in general. Undercooking.
Abelard: "It will be done. :)"
Absolutely bodies some thug with a single strike. Damn.
Hail to the Emperors finest Rogue Trader! It would seem that Nurgle has crop-dusted a plague upon many of us, but shall not keep us down

It's difficult and risky, but it is possible and has been seen before.
Rogue Trader Rimmy turning the outer fringes of the imperium into his Harem Amine. 11/10.
I really love the space combat in this game. It’s one of the few sci-fi games I’ve played where I can say that, unfortunately.
Also, good on Owlcat for giving us an Adepta Sororitas who isn’t romanceable and a Space Wolf (also not romanceable) instead of a Blueberry or other more commonly used Chapter. Ulfar is my boi.
Rimmy, your passion for this subject and in general shown via your videos makes the world slightly brighter and better. Cheers for you and goodwill for your health.
Yeah for real the boltet sound in this game is so good. You hear the 1st stage propulsion, then the 2nd stage rocket engine starts combusting for the rest of the flight
I'm glad not the only one who read that access request line and laughed at the though of DDOSing a nuclear reactor
“Just like me Gideon, just like me.”
Rimmy is so real for this
Ah the only people with names longer than the Adeptus Custodes, the Rouge Traders. This game is actually pretty fun. I don't normally play these kinds of games, but I'm glad that I gave it a try. BTW when you did the "Do you hear the voices to!?" line from Dawn of war got me to go and play teh Ultimate Apocalypes mod for the series again.
Looking forward you continuing this :D -- btw you can romance a Drukhari... Lets see if he can beat Camellia as "craziest, homocidal Romance" :D
28:52 100% agree with this, i would like more renegade Imperials who aren't Chaos. We could have almost had that with Huron and his tax evasion but no, he eventually turned Chaos himself
My favorite part of this overall video was the fact that you actually went out of your way to explain some of the stuff that would be less obvious to newer people.
Regarding the "return to the imperium" option on the warp map - there are a couple hidden skill checks there, I think the first is the medicare one, right on the first screen after trying to travel. If you pass them (can save scum to try and pass them) - you get to travel through a couple more locations, with cool scenes. And a very epic ending.
This lad straight up attacking my navigator waifu 😦 (and yes the Aurora VO was... passable at best).... now please excuse me I have slaaneshi daemons to summon.
You mention rebels never just being rebels in 40k, or at least not ending up as just rebels, and I think it would be fascinating to have a rebel faction in 40k that's just straight up following a modern religion. Like, you have small sects of Buddhists who managed to survive for so long by being the first to settle in far-space solar systems when the Emperor was still alive, Catholics who survived by masking their practices as ones toward the emperor, more pagan beliefs blending in with the mechanics, or in the depths of a factory world, all for one reason or another revolting against the modern Imperium.
What the hell? A rogue trader CRPG? In this timeline? May wonders never cease!
Happy to see Rimmy geek out over 40k once again.
I was going to hold out until they patched out the bugs you bastard but you convinced me I needed to play now. Thus begins the voyages of Malcador Sanguinius Habsburg-Sabbat the LIVth in his voidship the Expedient Solution
12:41 I think the book is in the Forges of Mars Trilogy, through something happening aboard the Ark Mechanicus vessel The Speranza one the Servitors regained memories of their life. The one they attributed also eventually became a sort of saint to all on the vessel due to events that happen later in the trilogy.
I feel like the arma 3 video felt more sane than the actual lore. I love it.
I desperately want you and bricky just talk about Guard or Sisters stuff. It would be amazing
God DAMN I'm so happy you've covered this game!
The second I realized that Owlcat was creating another CRPG it's been waiting on my wishlist, and I'm so glad that I wasn't wrong in my hopes
I can't wait to get the money to buy the damn thing :(

Been having a blast with the game and as someone who watched Zoran and co's Warhams campaign, that is honestly the feeling I get playing this game.
I've been having an absolute blast with this game and I also have a lot of 40k knowledge that I keep figuring out plot points beforehand with. Looking forward to your full breakdown, but I'd love to see you continue this playthrough in a series of videos too.
Yeah this game must be one hell of a rollercoaster ride to people who know nothing about 40k.
15:00 I'm just picturing a bunch if tech priests gathered in a circle chanting "Control Alt Delete, Control Alt Delete"
That final fight on Janus has been the biggest roadblock to me so far, kudos to you for getting through it!
The biggest one for me was the mechanicus ship with cursed loudspeakers buffing everyone's life.
Hoenstly, this film sold this game for me. You can easily tell that Rimmy enjoyed playing this game, when he eagerly talked about warhammer lore.
I find it really funny Rimmy absolutely hated Cassia from the get-go
I immediately saw her as waifu material
So happy this is in parts! Thanks so much, Rimmy! May the Emperor heal your flu!
I screwed up with the slanesh cult fight and I didn't go right after them, I accidentally backed up and left the building which gave them enough time to convert the guards, which made the fight hellish where I had to rush down the maid then cover fight the guards for like 10 turns
I named my RT after my first and so far only Rogue Trader.
Sherily Tempest regional Rogue Trader of Emperor Burger! The Imperium's finest burger establishment. His mother really wanted a daughter. And his hatred of unions, Saint Wendies and betrayal was second to none.
Yes grimdripped things hard and had a lot of fun just being a giant lethal joke.
holy shit... no more 40k arma?? ill ofc still be watching but RIP to what got me into this channel and what kept me watching... as a major 40k fanboy i cant stand a day without it...
just bought this, what a lovely game.
id love to see more playthrough content from games like this. Still remember wasteland 3, been locked in since
That flu is just Papa Nurgle's way of showing his love for you by hugging your insides.
Seriously speaking, thank you for the fun video, Rimmy. I hope you get well soon, so that you can better enjoy this great game.
This was great review. Your enthusiasm mixed with Grandfather Nurgles touch was perfect.
I just want to say that I’m glad I’m not the only who one instinctively went for the noble officer build
I don’t think I’ve ever been convinced to buy a game so quickly. This looks phenomenal.
As a person who knows a very a basic idea of the 40k universe and finds it very interesting. It always enjoyable to watch Rimmy play a 40k game and just rant about all the intriguing lore.
I can’t wait for Rimmy to make Cassia do disgusting amounts of damage, hit act 3 with twists involving multiple characters and to experience how broken act 4 is at release.
Seeing the Cain omnibus' right there next to Gaunt's makes me smile. Opposite sides of the planet just about and same book collection.
So glad to see this Owlcat rouge trader game deserrves all the love its soo good and well warhammer so even better.
That one deck officer also took out the Chaos Spawn on my run, Extra Amasec for that man.
Really sorry to hear how sick you were Rimmy hope you got better quickly
PS really grateful you’re continuing this at some point you always have some of the best takes when it comes to 40K
Those busted spines attest to many rereads, it's glorious
Man this is a Better Space Game then Starfield
I love this game so much, beta was so fun and loving the final release just as much. I made a Commissar from a Forge World that takes after Cain and has realised "Wait, I don't have to inspire the troops on the frontline so I can just sit back with a sniper".
And to be fair I genuinely love all the companions except really Jae, but she is also pretty damn strong in combat and checks so she kinda gets a pass. My favourites are Cassia because she is just adorable, and Pasqal because nothing better then a Mechanics Magos being a Mechanicus Magos to perfection imo.
Edit: Side note, with the right gear and skills you can make Argenta a literal death god WITH HER STARTING BOLTER ALONE. Her, along with my sniper commissar and the elf everyone is going to make the Liara of W40K, basically handle all the damage.
I love that this is practically the first game we're you actually see some pretty environment like forest and jungles and some nice cities.
Well this was an incredibly pleasant surprise to see in my feed! I've certainly understood and respected your issues with GW and your decision to cut ties, but I've been super excited for this game and can't afford it myself at the moment, and there's absolutely nobody I'd rather watch play it.
12:30 I know exactly which story he’s talking about. It was a subplot in the Forges of Mars book series. Not gonna spoil anything, but I highly recommend it. So many good twists and turns.
Rimmy trying to save redheaded tomboy pilot. Heretic, "That's not a redhead," ignites a flamer, "this is a redhead."
Argenta with a heavy holster is *chef’s kiss* nice.
Thank you for enduring your pain. I really love your story telling!
I wish I could watch this, I love Rimmy content so much, but I need to avoid spoilers for my own enjoyment of the game.
You know, I had read a review of this game that gave it like a 51% out of 100, and thought mabye I'd skip this one, but it looks absolutely fantastic, this will be like the second or 3rd game rummy has gotten me to buy darn it!
the "forge of mars"-trilogy including "priests of mars", "gods of mars", "lords of mars" (in no particular order here) includes sentient servitors aboard the mechanicus ark "esperanza" rimmy speaks of. has also nice descriptions of machine spirits working and the techpriests diving into their consciousness. and titans. and black templars. and a terrifying arco-flagellant.
37:56 My introduction to 40K was the Dawn of War games, which always had outside nature levels. I've always loved those the most. The never-ending dingy metal corridors of Imperial hive worlds and starships are dull as room-temperature piss. That's why I can never get as excited watching Dark Tide levels as I did Vermintide.
Ooh. 40K game with Rimmy. Nice!
This looked awesome! I'm actually thinking of picking it up now. Also, hope you're feeling better Rimmy. You sounded like death for a while in this.
In regards to 23min, calculated jumps are a cool concept for sure
12:30 Oh I remember that it was during the second book of the forges of mars trilogy. Yeah a bondsman who was forcibly recruited on an Arc-Mechanicus had a special implant that let him do freaky shit like awaken an Argo-flagellant that fights several space marines at once
id love to watch this video Rimmy, but i want to experience this game myself without Spoilers. I will watch it when done playing :) Loved the intro thought
A heart of gold? The Emperor would approve.
