Comes in Destroys a space port Doesn't elaborate Leaves
-
I am routinely astounded at how well the story can be told when the narrator isn’t in love with their own voice and decides to make a 40 hour series out of it.
-
"We did it, Patrick. We saved Vraks."
-
Let's be real, who amongst us would not be willing to kickstart a chaos uprising to avoid being stuck in meetings every day till the end of your life
-
You can tell how long this series is by the fact that Ian couldn’t get it under an hour.
-
Absolutely phenomenal work, Ian. Given the IMMENSE detail in those books, having an easier video to let people learn about this (imo) absolutely peak 40k tale is really really useful for ongoing fandom and community too rather than relying on innacurate wikis or out of print books. Doubly so as you focus rightly on that this isn't a "badass Death Korps" story like many portray it as. It's a story of abject failure, told properly here. Brilliant stuff.
-
Ian, I gotta say, the way you can bring a fictional war to life through narration is... frankly incredible. There are legitimate history shows about actual conflicts and events that actually happened that aren't this vivid.
-
Important to point out that in the first edition of siege of vracks forgeworld didnt sell any alpha legion models so they arrived in ultramarine livery and you were supposed to have ultramarines facing of against the dark angels in the campaign battles. I have some ultramarines in my alpha legion warband for this reason with a little hydra on the back of their right leg as a friend/foe identifier
-
And the battle was won, at the cost of 14 million lives and another dead world. Love how you put this together!
-
More long-form lore videos like this, please! I appreciate all the effort you must have put into this.
-
Probably the best example in 40k lore as to what warfare is like in 40k.
-
Some people will disagree, but you can definitely do more long form lore videos! This was brilliant! You have a wonderfully calm and dignified manner of speech that makes for a smooth listen. Additionally, a concise video of the siege of vraks? That doesn't leave much out? In only a little more then an hour? Most fanatic 40k nerds couldn't do it (too many rabbit holes to go down). Please do more!
-
Ian: Careful, it's a long one. Me, a regular Leutin09 viewer: Two-hour video on bolters go brrrr!
-
That’s my afternoon sorted 😂👍🏼
-
You’ve met “meetings that should have been an email”, now meet “sieges that should have been an exterminatus”
-
Oh sweet, been waiting for this. A city the size of Northumberland with a battle of massive scale. God, I hope this gets made into a series one day.
-
Thank you for putting in so much effort, the maps really help with picturing what might have happened. As always the pacing and your delivery were incredible and easy to follow, even for a non-native english speaker.
-
Sometimes I watch youtube analysis of various real life historical battles and sieges, and Ian somehow makes a fictional one feel almost as real and dramatic. Which is also a credit to the source material I’m sure. Love these videos.
-
Really wish 40k was still like this, with all the detail diagrams and in model pictures. Super grounded and unique
-
A book series set during the siege of vraks would be amazing. Would also be a nice way, to give the faceless soldiers of the death corps more character
