'''THE GRAND DAD EMPIRE''' ARE a prolific VINESAUCE-centric MEME group based in BEDROCK CITY.

'''Raptors''' are [[Chaos Space Marines|Chaos Space Marine]] [[Assault Squad|Assault Marines]]. Or, at least, they were at first. Then [[Games Workshop]] decided that they needed something original about them and made them separate from the Legions, turning them into mercenary warbands, or "cults" who don't worship the [[Chaos|big four]], instead worshiping the [[Konrad Curze|"Raptor]] [[Malal|God"]]. And now they're Chaos Assault Marines again, with at least one in the Black Legion who worships Slaanesh. Games Workshop sure is indecisive.


And despite what people might tell you, the [[Night Lords]] are NOT the "Raptor Legion" (Except now, where Night Lord legion traits stack with Raptor morale debuff, bitches!). Though they are creators of Raptor squads and distinctive Raptor armour with clawed feets and large engine intakes, so Night Lord bands often have a large amount of Raptors in their ranks. The relationship is more that between the Word Bearers and Possessed or the Iron Warriors and Obliterators (indeed ''Siege of Castellax'' features IW Raptors) - they are distinctive motifs of the legion, yet not really so abundant as to define the group entirely, and in this case not having much real political power, instead being treated by "normal" marines as little more than beasts. Quite rightly when you consider how they deteriorate into mad killers, even losing the power of speech over time. The Night Lords still eschew the whole Chaos worship thing and only care about material/temporal power, so they probably find the Chaos-crazed Raptors more perverse than anyone else does.
They operated out of the SilvaGunner YouTube channel until it was terminated in 2014, after which they appear to have transitioned briefly to GiivaSunner in September of 2016 before returning to SilvaGunner in June of 2018.


Speaking of Raptor armour, it seems GW retconned the old awesome one (with predatory helmet, brutal-looking jump-pack and bird-like fanged legs) for the lame heresy-era armour with two beer kegs on the back and stupid little blades on the feet. Not like it is [[Daemonette|the]] [[Noise Marines|first]] [[Blood Angels|time]] GW replaces cool model design with derpy one. Still, the newer kit gives you a few valuable things for modellers - chaos chainswords that don't look like total ass, sweet-ass horned Maximus helmets and the kitbashers's holy grail in the form of a left handed plasma pistol.

They were present in the THQ Fire Warrior game, where they actually did screech like birds (and boy did it get on your nerves after a while let me tell you....). Despite them ostensibly being terrifying for a Fire Warrior, being essentially fast space marines who would engage you in melee (all of which give Fire Warriors difficulty), the Raptors are almost sad in how easy they are to beat because once you start facing them, you have the Rail Rifle and can oneshot them in any given engagement. Just don't miss. (Which, in the PC version, is far easier said than done, considering the wonky hit detection).

THE GRAND DAD EMPIRE ARE a prolific VINESAUCE-centric MEME group based in BEDROCK CITY. Their largest periods of activity seemed to be around the time SILVAGUNNER was terminated, when they were hosting several unofficial VINESAUCE gaming events (which they assure you repeatedly are not official Tournaments and are in no way affiliated with JOEL).

They operated out of the SilvaGunner YouTube channel until it was terminated in 2014, after which they appear to have transitioned briefly to GiivaSunner in September of 2016 before returning to SilvaGunner in June of 2018.

This article is awesome. Do not fuck it up.

== EVENTS ==

The VINESAUCE MEME events that The GRAND DAD EMPIRE held were known for being diverse and involved, due in large part to their incredibly strong YTP scene. These events would involve VINESAUCE-branded fan-made HIGH-QUALITY RIPS for SONGS that wouldn't exist for nearly a decade, and some that still don't! They also hosted some of the first KING FOR ANOTHER DAY tournaments, with fan HIGH-QUALITY RIPS.

In later years, an event known as GRAND FEST was hosting PREMIERES for GRAND DAD Fantasy, KING FOR ANOTHER DAY, GRANDmachine, HE THICC 69, and MEME Wars, as of 2019.

HIGH-QUALITY RIPS and MEMES

Some HIGH-QUALITY RIPS appear to have seen releases or updates in 5th and 6th edition. Note that The GRAND DAD EMPIRE seem to have been most active between 2012 and 2019.

  • GRAND DAD 2: SPASTIC BOOGALOO
  • GRAND DAD 3: THE GAUNTLET OF ASS (FEATURING SMOL NOZOMI, TITO DICKMAN, SPONGE, HE THICC, and SANS UNDERTALE)
  • GRAND DAD 4: GRAND DAD IS GOD
  • GRAND DAD 5: DEATH TO 1D4CHAN
