Its holarious that the three most powerful weapons were all from the war in heaven really shows how truly insane the war in heaven was

[suitorshooter]

*While building the retcon gun*
"We've begun test firing the gun today!"
"Oh, and have you hit anything?"
" I can't remember."

[Inquisitor_Jeff]

When Wes mentioned how devastating it would be for the Celestial Orrary to fall into the hands of any other race, I got this thought in my head of a couple orks laughing as they selected everything and hit delete.

The Terminus Est, a warship that destroyed a Glorianna class Battleship, was supremely blessed by Nurgle, and had ten thousand years of battlefield experience had a bunch of decks blown off when facing a nova cannon.

Said Nova Cannon was sitting on the prow of a regular line ship.

The blackstone forteresses where built by Piglins inside the warp to protect their gold from others.

[palpadur]

the retcon gun sounds like the perfect weapon to use on Chaos daemons, especially on Khorne, Nurgle, Slaanesh and Tzeentch.
also, it should be used on Kor Phaeron, Lucius, Erebus. and it *absolutely* needs to be used on Vashtorr. vengeance for Caliban is its own reward.

[MlTCH]

I know it’s not really a weapon, but the psychic scream upon the final formation of Slaanesh was almost a 100% instant extinction event for the Aeldari Empire. It was KINDA Aeldari-made… and not impossible to replicate… so would that count?

[parkermaisterra]

So glad to see the Breath of the Gods on the list, seriously the forges of Mars trilogy is incredibly underrated

[theseven-armedgod]

I'm now fascinated by a theory that just hit me of the missing primarchs being hit with a Retcon/Ontological Gun, and thus causing their own legions to forget about them, which could also explain legions like the Soul Drinkers walking around thinking they're descended from other primarchs and having unrecognized gene sequences.

[nickfulwood]

I see what you did there, starting with a weapon that can remove a person from time and ending with one that can remove a solar system from time. Well played sir.

[MiddleAgedGuy]

I'd love to see an entire video on Blackstone Fortress lore.

[alexanderchraniotis]

That's an OP loadout to wander around the 40K universe like a boss.

[abdullahirfan]

Can i just say, i am so happy you mentioned the breath of gods. The forges of mars was an awesome trilogy

[MrAbraxus]

The webway tunneling device that was discovered at the end of Arks of Omen seems pretty powerful. Like powerful enough to fix the webway to Terra or obliterate it.

[akumaking]

Use the retcon gun against Lucius, Erebus and Kor Phaeron.

[allisonavalonirons]

Thank you for including The Twice-Dead King: Reign in this video! It is an incredible 40K book, and a genuinely inspired piece of literature. It brought humanity and tragedy to the necrons that was honestly tear-jerking. If you ever wanted to do a future video about The Twice-Dead King duology or on Oltyx, I'm sure there's tons of folks who would be jazzed to hear your analysis!

[seamusmcg]

Love the video man. I think I read something similar to the Retcon Ray; in a Doctor Who novel there was a gun that could erase stuff from reality and the timeline. A girl's friend got shot, and while she couldn't recall what had just happened, there was a huge sinking sadness in her about... something.

[jtfbreedlove]

The Planet Killer is kinda similar to a Xyston-class star destroyer in how it destroys planets, the gravitic trebuchet kinda seems like a weaponized mass relay from Mass Effect. Given the last two entries the war in heaven must been absolutely insane when it got into high-gear.

[masterhand]

As a Destiny 2 player, I am intimately familiar with ontological weapons. Also, I love watching your videos! I don't even play Warhammer, I just really like hearing about its universe and lore.

[StevenCarusone]

I would love for Games Workshop to start a new franchise called Warhammer: The Dark Age where we learn personal stories of Mankind coming out of the iron men apocalypse, and the ascendance of the Emperor. I can't imagine he spent 30, 000 years on just Terra. He probably travelled the known galaxy a lot. Especially since he could act as his own Astropath.
