THE GAMING STORYTELLER on Successor Chapters | Astartes Anonymous Podcast #13

The casual drop of "I have three" followed by you guys losing your minds was so good.

It was so much fun to be on this podcast!! I DID make some lore mistakes as I was super tired at that point, I hope you guys don't mind too much. Thank you so much for having me <3

I really do hope Tyberos gets an updated model with the new Terminator scale. Btw that piece of iconic fanart of him was done by Zhi Chen, shame to see how often it gets reposted without credit.

Fun fact about the exorcists: In the new siege of Cthonia book the defender were mainly made out of Imperial fists, but there were also a sizable force of loyalist Thousand sons, who changed their colors to signify their loyalist status to a deep blood red and black shoulders, the same colors of the exorcists first company. This theory is supported by the same book, the book states that after the siege of Cthonia, Evander Garrius (the Imperial fist commander in charge of the siege) took his forces on crusade during the scouring and was lost for some time. When they actually re apeared his forces were accompanied by red armored “sons of dorn”. So basically it is hinted that the exorcist are the remnants of the loyal thousand sons, that explains their unnatural resilience to daemonic possession and their high number of warp sensitive battle brothers.

The amount of Fist sons mentioned here does my Dornian heart good. In the words of the Praetorian himself: "Yes"

Ok Pedro Cantor picking up the woman and her child is going in my top ten moments. Even in the Grim Darkness of the far future, there are nice moments.

Man the Konrad theory is a new one to me. Man I wish this podcast was on Spotify

I need to see a Collab between you guys and Adeptus Ridiculous. That would be amazing

This needs a part 2 at some point there are so many amazing chapter to talk about

Space Wolves really told the Inquisition to come back with a warrant, and I love it

The contempors and box noughts can still be used as helbrutes… or just give the contmptor the primaris dread stuff

A personal favorite successor chapter is the Raptors of Raven Guard descent where the Ravens are stealthy they still prefer surprise melee attacks The Raptors prefer to snipe and their chapter culture has modern military style making them one of the most pragmatic and sensible chapters in a galaxy full of melee obsessed glory hounds.

F in the chat for not putting Minotaurs kitbashes on the screen like he said he would but still BUSSIN episode gotta have Alex on again

THE RED WAKE

My favorite theory for the minators is that they have a link to the thunder warriors, they have the same battle tactics and not to mention the brutality in combat and not to mention there huge. And the anchient armor astetic also fits them both well.

I was surprised that the whole lore of the Forgotten One and the Void Glass wasn’t brought up by Red since that also kind of supports his theory on the Space Sharks. A Chapter I really like is the Iron Snakes. They are Greek Inspired, but far more Athenian then anything else. They are Ultramarines that don’t follow the Codex, and their Chapter is split up into 10 Man Squads that each have an Apothecary. It’s even common practice to send singular Marines out for solo ops if the need be. Their solo book Brothers of the Snake is one of Abnett’s best, and I assume they play a larger role in the rest of the Sabbat Worlds Crusade I haven’t read yet.

How sure are we that the Astral Knights aren't an Iron Warriors successor chapter? Seems kinda like something Iron Warriors would do.

There is another 2 theories about the Carccardons. 1) That their chapter has chimeric Genesee from both night lords and Raven guard. The former were from loyalist elements of the Night Lords, and the later, from the most brutal members of the Raven Guard. The guys that were from terra and were exceptionally brutal.. but loyal. The second theory about Tyberos himself, is that he is actually a Thunder Warrior that survived the Astartes upgrade process. Think the rubricon for the thunder warriors. And since the Carccardons travel the void in stasis most of the time, he could easily have lived 10k plus years.

That kreigsman looks like a 17th century sweetish soldier! Its so cool

Casual content for painting!
