If any of friends smelt that bad ima throw a bar of soap at their face, just full send
Jesse LeCompte
I am legitimately tempted to refund my sub just because of mispronouncing Ferik Jurgen's name... put some respect on it
Derpykins
ah, ciaphas cain, the only time that the phrase "falling up" can truly be personified
Alpharius

I love how Amberly just assaults the Kasteen from the Valhallan 597th because of the ways she talks. Just absolutely goes for the throat everytime Amberly uses an excerpt from her book. "I believe this work could add some much needed context to Cain's situatin, whoever I would not force you to listen to such a desecration of the gothic language so don't feel forced to listen." I was listening to it at work and almost spit my drink on a coworker
Bleier Austin
Best part of when he meets vail is Cain is trash talking the inquisition to her face

Hello i wish to ask im want to buy a ciaphas cain book but idk which 1 should i buy first.. i mean i kinda want to buy it in chronological order.. acording to audible it the antology the "first" but what do u guys think which 1 should i buy first? I realy like the channel and last month i got the infinite and divine which was my favorite so far
TheOneNoc
I think a deep dive into the different regiments of all the factions would be dope
The Master of Mankind
In spirit of this channel we should stop using Jesus and say "Sanguinius"

I also love the lighter stuff in our grimdark story. That's why I love the salamanders so much. The darkness just makes the flames of hope glow brighter. Like when captain Volas of the Black Dragons ( a Salamander successor chapter) notes seeing two humans running away to safety holding hands and remarking that those small gestures of love are what he was made to protect.
Pickles
Abhumans!! Also the black dragons would be awesome too!

Timothy Jensen
Man is a hero even when trying not to be. Sandy Mitchell portrays him so well in the novels.
Keyla
yay * wiggles with exitement*
Jacob bruehl
I think one of the most shocking revelations in the Cain books is that marshmallows canonically exist and are attainable.
Jacob bruehl
Where the necrons in the first Cain book? I only remember the tau and the nids.
Kaitheviking
abhumies!
Dominic Solis
Going down!

Thank you for this ep. I've been reading the Horus Heresy and have hit a wall with Mechanicum. This convinced me to pick up the Cain book I bought the same time I got Horus Rising. And it's fun! All the fun I wasn't having trying to slog through. Mechanicum. Would still love an Emperor's Children episode though.

You forgot "that is the full title"
jozsua
More like he gets a bad hand with a secret joker under the first card. Everything he does manages to work on his favor somehow, even if it is a slight from another inquisitor. That'd be where he gets the "failing forward" shtick. Keep in mind too that all of these stories are written by someone who loved/cared about him, of course they will make it as flattering as it can be. I would love to see a book about Cain by anyone but his mistress/not mistress.

If someone is pregnant with a future blank, do they feel any foreboding or dread as it develops?

Will we later learn of Magnus and his fall to chaos (more space mummies)

CI-CI-CIAPHAS CAIN HERO OF THE IMPERIUM!

I truly feel that Jenit Sulla deserves a mention. She’s one of the more memorable side characters in the Novels and fits Amberley‘s habit of writing bad about other female characters in Cain‘s memoirs considering she’s described to have the face of a horse and it can be argued how true that statement is.
ryan
looks like they soap-wash Jurgen out of Cain's plays. :<
Ajsarana
I also love how at one point he meets another sexy and dangerous lady and he just turns her down: -I have enough dangerous lady in my life, thank you. And Amberly just comments "yes, he's talking about me. I'll take the compliment."
ZanderOutlander
Yes and no, the blank part may increase the notice of lack of hygiene, but his is described as have unkempt facial hair with food and other stuff stick on it, a bad case of halitosis or bad breath, and his uniform is usually has food stains on it. Also in one short story on Jurgen in the Cain series, Jurgen mention he doesn't really care for society norm and dislike talk to people, so the bad hygiene could be his way of avoid a conversation.
ZanderOutlander
I'm a bit confused on how people see Cain as an idiot or/and exteremly lucky. In most of his book, he stacks the deck in his favor. He make sure that from the grunts to high command respect or like to the point where he know they won't shoot him in the back or/and will do the best to keep him alive, beside the mostly suicidal mission he usually finds him self in, he made it to retirement after fighting all the major enemies of the imperium a one point or time. Not only that but Cain also has a really good intuition that I feel is mostly ignored, his able to link thing quicker than most people, minus some of inquisition agents he works with in his stories. His first assignment as a commissar was his doing, he just seduce the right amdin( who liked men in uniform) to get a nice safe rear echelon, where he was far from the front lines. Is he self serving, yes, is he good at his job, yes, so to call him guy whose an idiot that fall foward is an understament to who he is.
Jordan Hall
The absolute Cain slander He’s one of the most competent members of the imperial guard and is incredibly smart lol
Jon Meadows
Would love a Badab war video
Devon
What happened to the foreign frakoff/international incident it’s a working title? I miss those
Deseret Suydam
Bequin!!!!! Why could Eisenhorn/Ravenor not have won 😭😭😭
Bryan Ehnis
Which means there is a bureaucrat who had just processed his death paperwork. Only for Cain to show up a little bit later. And fill out the oh he's alive actually paper. My new head cannon is that this bureaucrat has been alive as long as Cain and always delt with Cain. One day his boss said hey Cain died again need you to do the paperwork. * Dude drags off a cigarette* " frack off, he'll turn up as soon as I finish it"
Joseph DePersiis
Also, again another fantastic episode I love your vibe and your content, hope you two have a great day. Also I missed the mention of where to send an email for helping with the research, where would that be?
Joseph DePersiis
I'm not sure I buy the "she faked his death" theory. Evidenced by the fact she mentions him being buried with full military honors. The best part about it is that he's been listed as KIA so many times and returned "triumphant", that there is a standing order to have him listed as being active and alive, even after the aforementioned burial, which Vail finds really funny.
Wilmatia cattebasian
jurgen ? leitner ??
Joel Magnuson
If I remember correctly he's the only person with a full military funeral with honors but the admin won't remove him from active duty because there are standing orders that he's always on duty, he's just shown up enough after being declared dead that the admin and higher ups just said "Don't bother marking him KIA he'll show up when he needs more Tana"
asta
I recently read Cain's book and isn't Jurgen's "lack of hygiene" the way people interpret him being a blank, and not because he doesn't wash? He's supposed to have better than average personal hygienie
Logan Moore
Guys this is how you get blackbagged by the inquisition.
Biggus_Dickus
He can no longer hide from the inevitabal episode about him, his luck only got him so far
Ewerion
I thinks its always important to point out that Cain is very competent and for all the luck he has, he also gets unlucky alot. I think you can make the case that Cain is the best Comissar, over even Yarrick and Gaunt. The books are written from Cains perspektive, and he has massive imposter syndrom, which often leads to people believing what he says over seeing what he does. He claimes to always want to be as far away from the fighting as possible, yet he always reasons himself into going on the most dangerous missions anyway. I think the day he met Jörgen was the only time he allowed his fear to take control. Fate punished him, by naming him hero of the imperium, and he spend the rest of his life having to live up to that title. And he did.

Cain sounds like buggy from one piece. I know Koda would love buggy

I'm going to vote for the abhumans for the next episode after Cain's, and put in another submission for a video on notable tyranid bioforms like old one eye, the swarmlord and the parasite of mortex

Going up
Trazyn The Infinite
I absolutely love Cain
Logan Burress
I'm betting it's not called the cain chronicles because of Rick Riordan's Kain Chronicles

Good to know someone else heard about those three and went "polycule?" BECAUSE YEAH On a more serious note; the Cain books are what got me *into* Warhammer instead of just absently absorbing stuff through osmosis from people in my life. He's so clever and skilled but still so *painfully* human, which is a nice change to all the other books/characters we follow in Warhammer, and makes it such a fun read. Caiaphas is the 40k rep of imposter syndrome and screaming incoherently in your head while still smiling at the crowd! I only wish he'd been around to meet one of the Primarchs or hear that they were back, his reaction would have been *hilarious*, especially with how he sees the Emperor in his internal monologues.
Joel Magnuson
I hoped the story where Jurgan event out for a Sandwich and tea, and "fought" a witch\deamon to get the refreshments back To Cain showed up. Maybe Saturday
Adligo
I want to see the abhumans next week
Tyberos
Also I'm joining the Erebus hate, fuck that slimy snake bastard
Tyberos
Just wanted to say thank you, you sick amd twisted bastards. You convinced me to get into the 40k books. I started 4 days ago on the heresy and I'm now 4 deep. You. You did this.
Malyk Monteria
Cain x Vail is my head cannon honestly
Tepson
Hive Tyrant and Swarmlords are essentially walking, sentient apartment complexes with teeth and claws

KHARN!!! BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!!!
Matthew Horton
Thousand sons please.
Damian Black
A recommendation for displaying the Guardsman handbook; get one of those tiny little painting easels, that hold up a canvas. Gotta be one just the right size to hold up the book.
Lordofallcitrus
also, i am practically begging koda to go and read at least a few of the ciaphas cain novels (the audio versions on audible are quite good) since it's by far the best series I've read, only trumped by the infinite and the divine as a singular title
Grant Walker
can you guys boost your audio because its genuinely hard to hear when blaring it at max volume
Lordofallcitrus
YES YES YES YES YES YES YESSSS
Isyander & Koda
Maybe? Only just finished little garden with a friend but we'll see. Hopefully the clown keeps showing up. -Isyander
Monster Gunner
Yo your sister a real one dude all 5,000
Bryan Ehnis
Cain "died" so many times the imperium just mark him MIA. He is just a Spartan.
Willietoo
Jorgensen doesn't make it to retirement. It does mention he does die from old age.

Okay, Ciaphus is getting his time. The Abhumans should get next.
Jace Stelly

Will Collins
I love that they mentioned the scene where he shot the relief valve because that was such an awesome moment on the leviathan
Bryan Ehnis
My entire head Cannon is cain has imposter syndrome to the max. Cuz he's spent so much time in the propaganda of the setting he thinks it's bad to have the instinct to keep himself alive
Isyander & Koda
No! Put it away. -Isyander
Isyander & Koda
Shhhhh! That'll be covered in the main episode -Isyander
Grease Lugnut
I AM SO HAPPY THIS HAPPENED
The Slavin
Forgot to mention he isn't allowed to be declared dead, only "Missing in action"
Benjamin Astières
Still voting for the dark eldar!
Ryan
It's not speculation, AV and CC were friends with benefits
Gremlin
There is a reason there is a repeated theory that Cain is basically the Emperor's Chosen One.
Umber Van Mil
So Cain is just buggy from one piece
