Update 05/01 - TTS EP30 Part 2...
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Capt...... Oh.... oh.... This is the exact same feeling as when I finished Cowboy Bebop. "You're gonna carry that weight"
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
i was sad when tts got put on hiatus but my god it gets worse
I am sad
The Emperor was right, he is the best at cliff hangers :,(
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
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.
the mechanicum shall pay
I know it's not your fault that GW sucks, but I cannot forgive you for leaving us on this.
...what an awful thing to say. You may have meant it as a joke, but dude's sitting here worried about his financial stability and you're downing on him for something he can't control? Not cool.
Kittens armor is two sizes too large for him, wonder if that will turn out to be beneficial.
I can't believe I paid money to have my heart ripped out... But Emperor Bless you did it with style! <3
KITTEN!!!
Noooooooooooooooo!!!! KITTEN
I hope they ain’t dead for good, but if they are what a bold move!
Congratulations on becoming a Father :D! But holy shit this episode was sad. We lost both Kitten and Dorn (and Diomedes i guess)
First off,, congratulations on your child, I'm happy for you. Secondly I am sad at what happened to Kitten.
kitten will be fine
Rogal Dorn Is now a Nugget
I'm calling it now. The Proteus Protocol will bring Kitten back. But maybe a little different than before. But we'll just have to wait and see.
Rogan IS the Blankie Psykana
I literally said out loud "You MOTHER FUCKER, You are gonna end it here?!?! ARG I HATE YOU!" In other words, holy shit amazing series. Please keep up the amazing work. Your 40K TTS series got me into 40K!
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.
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.
Unfortunately, I think I see Dorn sitting on his lap. If you look at the left, you can see the centurion head.
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.
congrats mate, really happy for you
also this marks the second iteration of EXPANDED BRAIN EMPS except in a more :( context
Take care of that Star Child for us, sir Alfa.
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.
Congratulations!
Where is Santodes?
Here
Congrats on becoming a daddy!
Babybusa as a VA for the dark angels?
Your message was a little cryptic months ago and I thought it might have been baby related. Good luck on being a father and I hope you name your child Herknes regardless of gender. Or ya know... Boreale.
By the Man-Emperor, the Mini-Magnus...YES!
Dear god i just noticed 2 things watching it again! The emperor has something in his lap post warp rift and the rift also cracked terra!
That something looks suspiciously like the helmet of a centurion, why did you have to draw my attention to it :(
dont be afraid to perma kill characters dude congrats
First of all congratulations man, you're going to be a dad! Second, please please release the full battle video, that stuff is gold. Third, have a good day.
DUDE, CONGRATS!!!
Ok three things: 1. Congrats my guy! 2. Holy shit those two battalions of Admech did more damage than an army of 100,000 Orks! 3. NOOOOOOO DIOMEDES, KITTEN, ROGAL!!!!!!!
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.
Loved the dawn of war(ish) music
The day you call your child "Boy" is the day you become Rogal
Heh. He's Papabusa now.
be sure to take time with the babby! important though the videos may be, your family should prolly come first
Well shit, that escalated quickly, great job the suspense is simultaneously killing me and reviving me as I await the full episode. Oh also congrats on the sacrif- *ehem* child.
congrats man
Congratulations ! Take care!
Congrats on being a father!
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!
Oh My Emperor! You killed Kitten! YOU HERETIC! ASMODAI! "cartwheels in" INTERROGATE?! Make him repent.
Congradulations on the wee tyke coming up, man! I wish you all the best of luck in his future! ...... a lot more luck than I suspect is coming up for a certain red planet in TTS, yikes.
Holy shit! That was intense and insane. I can’t wait for this episode. And congrats on the baby. I wish you the best of luck.
Grats on your family! Also holy hell Kitten no!
I am happy for you! Great work!
Congratulations on becoming a father! Great work with the episode!
oh my god
Congratulations on becoming a father man, you'll make a great dad
congrats on being a father Also Dreadnaught Kitten?
Also, beyond Kitten, who else died?
Should have brought some Imperial Guardsmenwomen. Kitten would have lived if they had.
Kitten NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOohbythewaycongratsonthebabyOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why you gotta make me cry like that
Stakkels Kitten.
I won't see this episode, I'll wait for the full release because people tell that this cliffhanger is worse than not seeing this shit at all. I'll get myself blueballed but still won't suffer even more by watching this. We all know it's fucking good, mkay? Also congrats alfa, I have a feeling you'll be good father :3
you were correct I R E G R E T
Congrats on becoming a father. Also, this episode almost made me cry.
congratulations on becoming a father!
Congrats on becoming a dad, Alfa! Also, speaking as the player who controlled the AdMech during this battle..... I'm so sorry! But its all Alfabusa's fault! He is the one who wanted me to run such an abusive list!!!!
18 kastelon robots though?! On an 8th edition game?! Either he’s a mad man or like a slaneesh cultist he’s a masochist for hard to beat lists.
Congrats on becoming a dad! Also: Thank you for the warning! This episode was great that warning made me expect it to be a kind of empire strikes back sort of thing where Luke has been defeated, Han possibly getting written out etc.
I am both confused and angered by the number of characters I've seen killed. I am filled with anger, frustration, and anticipation for the next part! My torment will remain for months to come?!
Incredible news man! Congratulations! Also I am REALLY digging this new episode! Can't wait to see what happens next!
Mini Magnus is as kawaii as ever. Is it possible to order an Exterminatus on Mars? Seems like we're about to see a new Heresy if someone doesn't calm the Emperor down O-O
These early previews are a blessing and a curse. Also congratulations!
Congratulations brotha, I know you'll be a good father and you'll always have my support no matter what.
Bloody glorious, great vid and a wonderful continuation, worth the wait!
A great ad for psychic support blankets
Wow. Just wow! I don't even want to BEGIN speculating what happened! Can't wait for part 3!
Holy moly
DAMMMMNNNN
Dislike because you even DARE to make me assume kitten is dead.
congrats man!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Did, did you just kill off Rogal? And kitten?
Well Kitten, maybe, but I think Dorn is OK.
You're gonna love being a dad
Congragulations! You provide us with this wonderful, funny story and I'm glad to be able to support you. There are only better things ahead my friend. (Didn't get paid this week but I plan on upgrading my tier)
R... Rogal? 🥺
Alfabusa are DAD! Also, Why must you torment us SO?
Omg congrats. It’s not all grimdark out there
Mini-Magnus!
Congratulations, mah’ dude.
Congrats, my dude
Dadfabusa will be an epic sight to behold.
Ooof, shit just got real. Although it explains a more personal reason for the Blackout of the space lighthouse. Excellent work, Lord Alfa! And my congrats on the little monster soon to come into your life, I wish you are yours well in these harsh times terrorised by Nurgle!
*gobbles up this content like a starving tyranid* Also, congrats on having your own little space marine
Congrats alfa! BUT KITTEN!!!!!
Congratulations on your newest and smallest recruit, may he grow strong enough to defenestrate his first inquisitor :)
Or her first?
That was certainly a twist I didn't expect
You do realize until this Cliffhanger is resolved youll be looking over your shoulder? Joking asides congrats on the kid
Also, BRUVA I AM SAD HERE
Congrats Alfa!
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Humongous Terminator Daddy!
Congrats for the baby , but fuck you that cliffhanger is the worst. Keep up the good work!
This ”fuck you” is only fair. Also! Thank you and thank you.
Heck yeah! New episode and a joyous announcement!
... this is the worst cliffhanger to leave us on. You magnificent bastard.
Again, I am sorry, it felt painful even to me.
Congrats Alfa! Part 2 is fantastically done
Congratulations on the kid!
Congrats Alfa! Hopefully Junior gets your eloquently weird prose
Holy Terra! This is insane! Can't wait for Part 3. Hope all goes well with your family, Alfa!
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.
Congrats my man!
Congratulations!
Enjoy your sleep while it lasts!Congratulations.
Oh we will try, but he’s already putting spokes in that particular wheel and he isn’t even born yet.
Congratulations and good luck with Babybusa
Grats Chief, here’s to another bunch of years to come~
Congratulations!
Thank you!!
