Update 05/01 - TTS EP30 Part 2...
Added 2021-05-01 15:34:55 +0000 UTC
AY, BEFORE WATCHING, READ;
The final part of EP30 is next.
This is not the conclusion.
...
That is all you can watch now.
________________________________
This battle has been in the making for literally years and was a fucker to edit.
I really hope it is easy enough to follow and also entertaining.
This entire battle as it was fought on Tabletop Sim was recorded for posterity and I might just release it after EP30 has been fully concluded.
The battle, after all, does not end in this part.
And, just so you know; this was an 8th edition game, not a 9th ed one, as the game was played long before 9th had even been announced. This explains like, yknow, Skitarii doing Overwatch...
I do wish this part was slightly longer as it is a fair bit shorter than the last part but I couldn't help but end it where I did for what I hope are obvious reasons. Sorry about it regardless.
Also, before making any assumptions, remember that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel, even if the light is grim and soggy and headache-inducing.
I will now immediately go onto Part 3 because if this Part has its intended effect which I hope it does, I know you will stake me if I stop now.
ALRIGHT, IN OTHER VERY IMPORTANT BUT PERSONAL NEWS
My child is going to be born this month!
This feels incredibly weird to write.
Really, really weird.
But it is the truth, it is what will happen, this month I am becoming a father.
I figured this would be an important thing to bring up to you, my benefactors.
I know some will be like 'well RIP TTS'-- I can assure you this will not be the case.
I have to work this gig now to make money for the family and my child.
It is only my fortune and massive privilege, one afforded to you by me, that I can work THIS particular gig, as it is the best possible one.
I hope to cast him in a role soon.
Until next time, Have a good one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bless you for making this series. You put so much effort and time, thank you.

I just realized that Rogal being the Emperor's "blankie psykana" makes total in-universe sense. Rogal Dorn's special ability as a Primarch is that he "calms the Warp around him". He is literally a psychic calming device. All of these millennia as the Centurion he's been the Emperor's favourite companion to have around, to cuddle with, to ease his pain. Imagine how nice it must be for the Emperor, who is permanently plugged into the pain and chaos of the Warp, to have a powerful warp-calming cuddle-toy next to him? It's probably the only thing that gives him any degree of real relief from his pain.

Remember how Magnus is helping to bring about ynnead the god of death who can revive people, u recon mini Magnus will tell him and he may ask for a favor so that kitten may return to us.
2021-07-31 22:28:00 +0000 UTC
Oh no. Just saw your post today. I will miss TTS. And that ending... Oh .... Rogal :( At least he was with his father. Poor Boy. On the other hand, best wishes to you, your family, and your Boy, Dadabusa!
2021-07-31 02:01:44 +0000 UTC
This is oddly apt for the end of TTS, for the time being. In my head cannon for now Kitten becomes a living saint. One day when TTS makes its glorious return it will be great to see how true that remains. Thank you Alfabusa for this amazing experience.
2021-07-31 00:44:52 +0000 UTC
Damn...I did not see this coming...how will I live with this being the last I see of TTS?

Even if the show was meant to end on this one it'd be still better than like 90% of the shows out there, in the whole world? There is so much setup that would end without proper payoff but looking at as it is now it's just crazy well made series. It's like Game of Thrones ended on 5th season, but unlike GoT I'm certain you guys will deliver. Eventually.

The Emperor was right, he is the best at cliff hangers :,(
2021-07-30 08:30:08 +0000 UTC
I decided to hold off on seeing this until it was a complete episode, but after the news of today I went ahead and watched it in case it were to get taken down or something.
I was left looking at the black screen of my phone, listening to those rain noises, thinking… “this is what I’m going to be left with… this, unless GW changes so it can be continued, will be what we’re left on… the death of a loved one”

I thought this way of giving a play-by-play was a really huge step up from the Feud at Khaine's Gate.

Holy shit. This was fucking astoundingly good. I really hope GW reverses course on the IP restrictions, because this was way more compelling than anything I've seen from them

2021-07-30 03:34:40 +0000 UTC
I want to say first, ignore the other guy commenting on here. His inability to show sympathy is not your fault. Second, while this ends on a cliffhanger, its an oddly appropriate one given the current news. I was worried I'd feel unsatisfied, and sure, there are plot threads still loose, but at least with this one can almost tell themselves the story has ended. Albeit, an unhappy end.

In other words, holy shit amazing series. Please keep up the amazing work. Your 40K TTS series got me into 40K!
2021-06-04 02:15:35 +0000 UTC
You know, one thing I find funny about this is how much it makes me think that, if it were 9th edition, Custodes would have given them a HELL of a better fight. Technically kitten would have gotten to punch the Kastellans before they could start beating him down. Just a funny realization I had.
2021-06-01 21:53:07 +0000 UTC
Unfortunately, I think I see Dorn sitting on his lap. If you look at the left, you can see the centurion head.
2021-06-01 10:06:35 +0000 UTC
I could be wrong but...I think in that moment the emperor used his power to open a temporal warp rift and psychically told rogal to rush to Kitten's aid.
2021-05-31 16:50:25 +0000 UTC
Hey do you guys think the emperor losing his mind from grief is going to act like the great rift and awaken a bunch of new psykers and other side effects? And if so, perhaps.. Boy's true potential will be unleashed.

Take care of that Star Child for us, sir Alfa.
2021-05-15 09:40:41 +0000 UTC
Congrats Alfa! Some very welcome news. As for the video, amazing as always. Emps has been scary before but hot damn was his rage real at the loss of his golden boi. And whats Boy gonna do if Dorn is gone as well??? A part of me imagines the psyker in him thats been hinted at is gonna go super nova. Excited to see where this leads.

2. Kitten's death is tragic but here's hoping that's not quite the end of him.
3. What's Magnus going to do when he finds out his best friend is dead? Mars is going to remember why they don't like psykers near there stuff is what.

Okay now that I’ve had some time to process this episode, here’s some thoughts:
•When I first watched it for a few times, Lockwarden asking if Kitten was done with his ‘space games’ didn’t make too much sense to me until I remembered the Stellaris special. And then I looked closely at Kitten in the beginning and you put the victory screen on the terminal as if he had JUST finished the game moments ago. It was a really nice touch.
•The banter between the Custodians was nice to hear, and the GPServitor’s “Arriving at: die” joke always gets me.
•Even if the battle was seemingly one-sided, hot DAMN there were some great moments, like demolishing the Ranger Squads. The animation was top notch, especially during Kitten’s time-stopped charge.
•My heart was torn to shreds by every loss the Custodes suffered and I think this is the most Grimdark the series has gotten (in a good way) and is a spectacular way of showing how anything can go wrong.
Thank you Alfabusa, I love this series.

2021-05-02 11:54:17 +0000 UTC
I still think Kitten is the lost primarch, a supressed psycher, and or a perpetual like vulkan and dad but with 1 biiiig difference! He was not fiddled with by daddy. As in 1 part emperor and 1 part urda and you get a natural born primarch. Cant wait for the next part!
2021-05-02 11:22:47 +0000 UTC
Oh My Emperor! You killed Kitten! YOU HERETIC! ASMODAI! "cartwheels in" INTERROGATE?! Make him repent.

I am glad you know your child is being born this month. Hopefully your wife won't badger you on the specific day so you can surprise her.
