In military strategy, maintaining defensive positions until reinforcements arrive is critical; however, if defenders are completely eliminated before reinforcements can establish themselves, the arriving forces become vulnerable to enemy attack, demonstrating that the timing of reinforcement deployment relative to defensive position integrity is a crucial factor in battle outcomes.

Massive BLOOD PACT Army Siege CADIAN Fortress Monastery!Added:
Hey there you and welcome to the fortress monastery of the Ordos Malachar. The last bastion of the planet Hali's governing body. Chaos bloodpack forces have ravaged the planet of Halians and this is the planet's last attempt at holding out as reinforcements are deployed from the upper atmosphere.
The guard need to only hold for 30 minutes before reinforcements arrive.
Can they hold out? Well, of course.
There's only one way to get our answer.
But before we do get into that, just a quick reminder, go ahead and check out the Chaotic Pinky Store where we've got some awesome Warhammer 40k inspired posters that will look awesome on your wall. We've also got hoodies, tees, and mugs over there. So, go ahead, check it out. You won't be disappointed. Okay, promotion out of the way. Let's get on with the show. All right, ladies and gentle giants, here we are. The Fortress Monastery. A very small fortress monastery, admittedly, but you know, the size doesn't matter. It's how well it's defended. And oh my god, is this thing well defended. You can see we got mortars in placed around the outside here, as well as heavy bolters. Plenty of guardsmen all dug up and dug in.
Sorry. And look at this bad boy as well.
Brought out of the archives. The Malcador, I believe this is called. Some oldw world technology here from the uh Defense of Terror era, I believe. So, yeah, some proper old school technology.
big cannon on the front of it as uh some poor old blood pack to find it out over there. Now, blood pack forces are highly mechanized in this area, bringing plenty of trucks to f their troops around as well as a couple of chimeas on the field as well. Now, they have also got some field artillery that they will be bringing along and using to pound the ever living heck out of our monastery.
Look at this. The blood pack here have brought up a hydra and they're just absolutely railing into the side of the monastery over there. Let's go check it out from the Imperial Gods perspective.
That cannot be a nice experience. Yeah, look at all them. Oh, one gods were there just popped his head up too long and got it absolutely blown to bit. You can see his blood smear ominously hovering in the air just over there as blood. Look at this. Oh my god. Exuber and chaos forces here trying to push right on in as them rounds from that hydra are bolting into the side of our monastery here. Blood pack troops here using the opportunity to move up as a big explosion goes off right over there.
Was that the hydra taken out? Oh, I think that was aimed at the hydra, but it didn't quite make it. The hydra here still looking pretty dangy. Now, the Imperial god do have air support in this campaign, ladies and gentlemen. So every now and then the marauders will fly over the field just annihilating everything in the path. At the moment though, the Imperials have got a hold against this as best as they can. Yeah, I really love this Malcador. It looks so cool. It's proper old school technology as well.
Doesn't even have a turret on it that can turn. But you might have noticed that the top is just this absolute weaponry of heavy bolters pointed every single direction. And I think these are old school last cannons on the side of it. So, it is pretty damn strong.
Speaking of strong, so is the Imperial Defense. You can just see how quite uh layered it is here. So, it really is quite a strong fortress here that the Chaos Blood pets have got to try to get through. There's like six mortars as well. Also covering the approach, which is why everything down here is exploding right now. Oh my days. Look at this. The hydra moving up here. Or is this a second hydra? No, that might be the uh Yeah, that's the same hydra there. It's moving up its position trying to get a better angle on that monastery and it has taken out the heavy bolter that was up close as well. Looks like the chimera just caught fire down here. So that might be taken out. Look at this. An upturn truck being used as cover. Man, that thing is just railing into the aerial defenses are pretty well braced against this attack. Oh, it looked like the mortar just got taken out there. But yeah, they're actually holding out pretty well considering, you know, they're getting absolutely obliterated by that uh by that hydra. It doesn't seem like they've got the range to be able to take it out. This mortar tank here, the Malor, not really having that range. Oh, having said that, that'll teach me, won't it? Just as I say that, the Malcador goes, "You what, mate?" and blows the absolute [ __ ] out of that hydra. Oh my god. That didn't even know why. Look at is that turret dislodged? It has. It's actually blown the turret off. The turret has sat next to it.
But the chaos have replied by saying, "Don't worry, we've actually got the uh we've actually got another hydra." Oh, by the looks of it, no, the turret wasn't blown off. That I thought the hydra was uh attached to that thing in the center, but it's not. It's attached at the back. I forgot about that. Okay, so the turret wasn't blowing off the other one, but they have just brought up another hydra here to start rapidly and trying to disintegrate that Imperial Guard defense. You can see the field gun has moved up. Oh, here we go. Marauder on the field here, ladies and gents.
Just as we've taken out, I think we've just taken out both of the AA guns here that the Chaos had. So, that marauder should have free roam. Sweeps around the back of the monastery here as it comes in for another run.
Go on.
Oh yes, it's just lighting them up. Go.
Goods at the back as well now as it flies past. Hopefully it can take out this field artillery. That would be nice cuz that thing is trying to pummel the defensive tank up there and it's doing pretty well. Although that armor on that super heavy tank is very strong. So where's that plane gone now? Is he coming back in this? Oh, there we go.
And still lighting everything up.
Oh, that's good to see. I love that thing. I like how the battle almost basically came to a halt as well. Look, the chaos didn't advance at all while that plane was in the sky. It's almost like they feared if they uh moved that they'd get shot. If we stand still, it won't be able to see us. Yeah, I think we actually did take out this hydra.
That big explosion behind it was enough to uh dis dislodge the uh the tank crew at least. Look at this. This has been an absolute death show down here. So it looks like the chaos have been trying to use this guy as cover. Yeah, you can't use that against the high ground.
Someone's arm just rolled past the screen. Then this tank over here is taking a pummeling from that uh field gun. I don't know how effective that field gun is actually going to be against this, but the field guns have also got high explosive rounds, so they're going to be effective also against the buildings and the infantry.
So, we really need them uh bombing runs to start focusing on that field artillery for us. It looks like Yeah, look at this. The next uh heavy bolt has been taken down as well. But yeah, only 30 minutes shaps. That's all you've got to do. Hold out for 30 minutes. And this battlefield is getting absolutely obliterated bit by bit. We see another truck pushing up here having dropped off fresh troops. I think it just got blown up instantly.
Oh no, the guy at the top is still he's still got his gun going. He's still providing cover and fire over here. This thing's just got a vis. Did you hear that sound? I hope I'll I'll try and boost that. That was just like a a horrible squishy sound there.
This guy's actually providing pretty decent covering fire here for the blood pack to advance up under. See a couple of culties here making their way up.
Dude getting his exercise in crawling across the floor. Yeah, that's a lot of heavy firepower now being laid into our monastery. kind of crazy looking at this from the Imperial point of view. They got a really good vantage point up here.
No wonder that they're just able to lay down lots of covering fire. Them mortars as well are having an absolute field day with the Chaos Infantry. Let's very quickly here, let's just have a look at the uh at the death. Okay, so yellow corpses here are Imperial Guard. The red ones are chaos. Look at where that Chimera down the bottom on the left hand side of the screen there. That is where we were looking. There's so many corpses around that one guy there. It's a bit ridiculous. The chaos field cut here, man. It has been Look, the angle that it is it has on that tank is so slight, yet it is doing everything it can to pummel round after round into it. We've got the Chaos Chimeas as well that have moved up. They are just flooding the area with the multi- laser fire as I'm sure you can hear. It is relentless down here, man. This chaos assault is all out. I don't know how much longer the Imperials can hold against this, but they really need to. I'm surprised at how intact the fortress actually is. You know, it's relatively intact considering all the things that are being thrown at it at the moment. Oh, look at this chaos dude then. Just as I say that, it starts to explode. Little chaos dude right up to the side there. That was so cute. He just got instantly annihilated. Chaos forces trying to push up the hill here.
Feeling a little bit exuberant, I'm guessing. actually making some really decent progress as well though. I think it's because a lot of the outer defenses of the uh fortress, the guard have actually been killed in place. But yeah.
Oh god. Yeah, some good hits there. Was that the field artillery from the uh the field gun? Sorry. Yeah, I think the field gun just absolutely obliterated that then.
Yeah, looks like that wave of chaos is getting taken down, cleaned up by the gods slowly but surely over here.
Looking at this from the Chaos's point of view as well. Oh no. Looking at this from the Chaos's point of view, there's really not that much cover on this approach. A lot of the trees have now been obliterated. Here we go. More chaos pushing up. Yeah, a lot of the trees have been obliterated. So, the actual cover to the approach very exposed, which is why their mortars are so effective. Just allowing that fragmentation to go all over the place here. Ripping it through infantry as they try to advance. Oh, another bombing run coming in here. The marauder just opening up on the advancing Chaos Infantry. He's going to have a bit of a field day there. Seat's actually coming in for another run here. All guns on it.
Firing, opening up on Chaos Infantry. Oh god, they're just getting slaughtered.
Them guns are so powerful on this thing.
They just obliterate.
Sorry, there's a guy over here. He just got turned into paste by a single bullet. Just one bullet turned him into Gibbs. The fortress though starting to look a little bit worse for wear here.
There's not that many Imperial defenders left. We can see that they're getting quite a few losses now building up on that front. Now we do have troops inside the buildings as well. So Chaos is going to have to dislodge all of them. Chaos now are actually reaching the outer edges of the monastery itself here. Look at this. They're bringing up loads of the vehicles now. I don't know if this tank is even still active. I hear the engine going. I don't see any of the crew bailed out, but I think it has been pummeled to a point where the crew are a bit shocked and stunned inside. That constant ringing has got to have an effect on them. You see Chaos Infantry now approaching the outer edges. They don't know though that there's still quite a few Imperial Guardsmen located on the inside. Look, that one dude found out there. That one dude found out pretty damn quickly. Now, these mortars danger close fire as well on some of these. Looks like they managed to take out a couple of these tanks somehow. I love this though. The last guns on the back of this thing. I think they are last guns basically these little single ones. But yeah, look at that. Peppering that building trying to keep the troops head down. Oh my god. Yeah, the fortress is getting obliterated slowly but surely. There's so many corpses on the front now. I've had to turn on the entity manager. So hopefully some of the uh corpses will start to get deleted here and we'll also start to get some frame rate back because yeah this there's quite a few wrecks and corpses on here now and it's starting call frame rate issues. So hopefully that'll start clearing up bit by bit as the chaos here launching everything they've got at this now. The kitchen sink has been thrown into this place. We really need that air support to come in and help clean out some of it. Oh god, man. The monastery.
It just took a direct hit. Getting obliterated in the side there.
Oh, that was really painful. Look at that. It's just blown it right open here. Lots of uh guardsmen though, still holding their positions here. The uh houses on this side is still full of guardsmen as well. We got quite a few in the courtyard.
Yeah, we've still got mort positions.
This place is still well defended. It's still holding out even with the chaos.
Look at this. The chaos just riding right up the hill towards them here. The Imperials don't have that much longer to hold out. You can do it, chaps. Everyone believes in you. Man, this has been an absolute struggle here for the Chaos.
Even though they've blown open that front portion of the monastery itself, the mortars and the godsmen on the inside. I mean, look at this. That heavy bolter then was going toe-to-toe with the Chimera. The problem here though that the Chaos are having is that their tanks can't really get up this yet. You know, it's a solid steep slope here that's basically got a wall on it. Yeah, the tanks are not going to be able to go up there. So, they're having to use infantry to try and clear it out and that is going to be costly because we've still got our Malcador up here that's just sitting omlessly. I don't even know if this thing's still alive. Hang on.
I'm going to take control of the Imperial Guard a second. See if I can click this thing. No, I cannot I cannot click it. So, that looks like it's been killed then. Oh, here we go. Bit of fire support coming in. Flying around the monastery here, leveling it in to that Chaos Army as it tries to encroach upon the Imperial defense.
Now, it uh doesn't look like the Chaos's AA weapon over here is actually firing at that. That's kind of interesting.
So, the Chaos have got an AA battery over here. and it isn't firing at the uh marauder which is just having free room here of the advancing uh chaos reinforcements.
You see the moving up field guns and all sorts here. The field guns are actually trying to take a shot at it. Oh, come on. That would be brilliant if one of them manages to hit a shot and the AA battery didn't. That'd be so funny.
Can you imagine that? Just holding a be having a field gun like that and being able to hit an airplane. That's some sort of battlefield moment. That is Yeah, the AA battery though. Doesn't want to fire at planes, but it'll happily fire at infantry here. A subpoor Imperial Guardsman are finding out.
Them things are so cool. I really love how the uh guns look on this thing. Just look at that. And all the shells coming out onto the uh pavement onto the snow at the side. Such cool attention to detail. Chaos though have yet to breach the inner fortress here. They've yet to get the troops up. Look, they're all being held up here. Somehow the Imperial Guard hold Oh no.
That's the field artillery there.
Oh, and now they're taking more shots back at the tank again. That makes me think that the tank's alive again. I don't know. It's really weird. That is You can see our mortars in the background there working overtime to try and keep this approach safe. They're the only mortars left here now. And the chaos have moved right up here with lots of infantry. Oh, never mind. Hold that.
The chaos here are actually trying to make a break play for the inner sanctum now. They are getting cut down by last fire infantry. But yeah, they are building up their forces up the side here. Yeah, don't go up them stairs shaps. Oh, more infantry trying to pile over that rubble. The weak spot here in the armor. But no, they're all getting cut down left, right, and center. That tank is definitely disabled. The bolts on it aren't firing. So yeah, somehow the Chaos have managed to disable or kill the infantry inside there. Maybe there's one dude left alive in there. I don't know because it still keeps getting hit, which makes me think the AI thinks there's someone inside it. I mean, they're chipping away at it bit by bit. Look at this. They keep shooting that same plate at the front right there like that. That one particular plate they don't like. Mind you, if they keep hitting the same spot, surely eventually it'll go through, right? Oh my god, the chaos here going at it again. Look at this. Loads of troops just pulled into the hole. They got cut down really quickly here. More chaos troops now have entered the courtyard. Looks like they're trying to clear the godsmen out of the house over here. Sorry, the camera's all over the place. Yeah, looks like they're trying to clear the godsmen out of the house, but that's a tough order. That's a tough order, ladies and gents. Here. Look at all these corpses over the floor. The chaos assaults here faltering against the defense of the Imperial God. That grenade launcher working overtime. Looks like they just fired a grenade into the house as well.
That might have k killed a few of the Imperial Guardsmen. Let's go check.
So, oh yeah, look at that. There's a brutal struggle in the corridor down there, but it's holding at the moment.
We've still got people inside the church as well. They're throwing grenades outside of the church. Okay.
I mean, whatever works, right? Whatever works. If they can reach all the way over here from there, I am not going to complain. But at the moment, the Imperial Guard is starting to look a bit desperate. Their cover getting blown to bits slowly but surely surely. A hydra has parked outside. I think they might be dead, though, cuz we got a couple of crew members over here who have died.
So, I think that Hydra is down and out.
But at the moment, the Chaos are being held back somehow. I'm not quite sure how the Imperials are doing it, but yeah, they've still got mortars working in the background. Come on, Imperials.
We're all rooting for you. Oh, just as I said that, just as I said that, I think one of the mortars got taken out by a grenade launcher.
Oh, man. Come on, chaps. Just a bit longer. I'm not sure how much longer they've got here, but it ain't that long. So, they've basically got a reinforcement wave to set to appear after 30 minutes. So, the Imperials will get actual reinforcements after 30 minutes. But if they hold this area, that is they've got to hold this area.
Otherwise, the chaos are going to be in an established foothold as their reinforcement waves arrive and the reinforcements will just get cut down in seconds. Grenade launchers here being fired into the church now. Man, I feel so wa the tank. The super tank just exploded.
Holy mother of Jesus. The super tank just exploded and it's at that moment the chaos made their assaults.
Oh, that is terrifying. That's just destroyed half of the defense over here.
All the Imperials that were in this house now have just been obliterated. We have got air cover that's coming in at the moment, so hopefully that'll help.
But yeah, the super tank just exploded in a super explosion there. Come on.
Come on, Marauder. Take down some of these. Although I'm thinking that's trying to focus a lot of the uh vehicles for us at the moment. So the infantry are going to have to hold out here all by themselves.
But man alive. Okay, we have taken out quite a few of them. Look at all these tank wrecks around here. Regardless of whether the Imperial Guard hold this now, they have done a really good job of holding this. They have made a good account for themselves. There's so many wrecks around here. Now, it does look like the uh Chaos have established a foothold over here, but the fight is not over. We've still got Imperials back here holding the last home. And I think this is it. If this area falls here, that is over it. It's over for the Imperials. Oh, come on. Marauder getting them critical shots here.
No, it didn't do enough damage. So, this is going to come down to the Imperials being able to hold this one area all by themselves. Otherwise, the Imperial God reinforcements will be arriving from here. So, yeah, you can imagine how brutal that's going to be if the Chaos managed to hold this entire area. But, you know what? I'm going to hold out for it anyway. So, what I'm going to do right now is I'm going to hit a little bit of a time-lapse camera. Uh, kind of want to get to a position where I can see what's going on. So, maybe somewhere. Yeah, here we go. We'll do it here. So, we'll be able to see the reinforcements come in and we'll also be able to see the last stand here of the Imperial Guard. And we'll be back in a second.
Well, ladies and gents, I think that's it. Oh, no. Oh, no. There is actually What the Okay, they were almost hugging each other there. Yeah, look, they're trying to clear out. They're in the same room here. Come on, CH. Let's help him out a little bit.
Oh, okay. That didn't work. I tried to help him out, but yeah, it did work.
There's one dude, though. He's killed quite a few now.
And that is that. I think that's all of the Imperial Guard. Yeah, all the Imperial Guard have died now, ladies and gents. That's it. However, the last Imperial Guardsman dies just as the reinforcements start to arrive on the field. Oh my god, that's You couldn't pull that any closer. Literally the last Imperial Guardsman died as the reinforcements arrive here. Now, let's see if the reinforcements can counterattack and start to actually take out the invaders here. As you can see, there's a lot of Imperial Guardsman. The problem is is they're all bunched up at the start. So, a good couple of uh grenades here from the uh Chaos could end the dreams of reinforcements here. Yeah, there's quite a bit quite a few reinforcements coming in. Let's see if this is going to be enough. Oh my poor old frame rate. I'm so sorry here, ladies and gents. Yeah, that high the the high concentration of instant in instant fire is uh it's quite something.
Oh my god, the frames. Oh, the frames.
The frames. The frames.
Okay, so what I'm going to do because the frame rate's so bad, uh I'm going to put it into a time-lapse camera here.
So, you'll barely notice any frames until we start getting normal frames back. We'll be back in a second.
Okay. Okay. Frames are returning and this is not going well. I said frames are returning. They're not really returning, but this is not going well for the Imperials, ladies and gents.
Caught out in the open here with the chaos already in the defensive position.
They have been pummeled and cut down. Oh no, this is horrific. They've got nowhere to go and no cover out here.
They arrived as the last man in the defense died here.
Oh man, they should have brought some tanks. There's clearly a road here. But yeah, I didn't want to put any tanks in here because they sort of made everything explode a little bit too quick. But yeah, that was so poetic. As the last man fouled, the reinforcements arrived just too late. They're caught out in the open. And now, and now they're paying the price.
They are getting flanked. They're getting shot out. They're trying to get the heck out of there. And behind them, they leave a legacy and a life lesson. Never reinforce a position that's already been lost. It's probably suicide. Oh my god.
Oh, you brave Imperials. You fight on.
You fight on.
The rest of your friends have all ran off. But yeah, you guys fight on. Oh, look at the chaos swarming out of there now. I can't move the camera back any further than this if you're wondering cuz we're at the corner of the map here.
But yeah, that's a metaphor for life right there, my son. That's a metaphor for life. And with that, ladies and gentlemen, unfortunately, the monastery has fallen. The planet has been conquered by chaos. And if you did enjoy this, please do comment, like, subscribe, all that good stuff. And until next time, you woodful internet sausages.
Peace.
