40 Facts and Lore on the Soul Drinkers in Warhammer 40K Spacemarine Chapter

[@deathlegionair]

Note, they were declared ex commicatus before they suffered their mutations.

[@pedrokantor3997]

Sounds like the Inquisition was presciently proactive in this case.

[@MCPANDA44]

@@pedrokantor3997 it's more because of the Soul Drinker's attack on the Adeptus Mechanicus for refusing to return the Soul Spear to the chapter.

[@NoBody-qs7op]

BulletHail387 the mechanicus need to learn to keep their grubby little prosthetics off treasured artifacts. I’m sure the soul drinkers would have been willing to allow the mechanicus to study it so long as they didn’t try to disassemble it or something but when you steal from a chapter there is only one outcome. Violent retribution.

[@SuperArashi90]

My favourite chapter, thank you so much for posting this!! So little respect for such a dedicated group. They pursued a different path to the Emperor's cause and ultimately, were one of the few able to resist temptation and defeat chaos at its own game.

[@taxidrivercarl6074]

One of the greatest tales in the 40K series, in my opinion.

[@KaiHonsou]

The Soul Drinker series was my first 40k novel that I read. Love the video!

[@AlexGonzalez-my1zr]

Kai Honsou me too they got me hooked

[@DarthBane959]

What’s the name of the book? Never really looked into these guys but this video was awesome!

[@VisionQuest057]

What are the names of the books, I wanna read them as my next Chaos chapter, after the Fabius Bile trilogy and Night Lords Omnibus!

[@AlexGonzalez-my1zr]

There’s two omnibus books and phalanx is the last one

[@DillyDallyLove]

Prophet of the WAAAGH by Nate Crowley was mine! I gots the Soul Drinkers novels in my hands though! Excited! Warhammer is the best dark universe ever!

[@TheVicariousone1]

...For a Soul Drinker takes all ills of the galaxy upon his shoulders and as long as they remain he cannot rest. I think I may have found my new favorite chapter! Well done

[@SuperArashi90]

Welcome to the chapter, brother.

[@donperez8774]

I recall at the end of the Soul Drinkers novel chain a Blood Angel apothecary told the court on the Phalanx the Soul Drinkers were found not to be descendants of Rogal Dorn. Was it an altered corpse the Blood Angels picked up, with the bombshell data meant to break Sarpedon at the trial? Or did Rogal Dorn pick up a loyalist group of space marines from another legion, much like Roboute did with the space marines allegedly earmarked toward the missing primarchs? Or did the Alpha Legion or a wily other traitor legion infiltrate the Fists' ranks? /thought the Soul Drinkers might be Night Lords loyalists, as Curze had that cannibalism power and had a hatred of corruption, while Sarpedon's psychological psyker abilities and quick strike mentality with his troops was more in line with NL than Fists.

[@overtenemy69]

blood angels.

[@joshua1943]

Can anyone besides the Alpha Legion eat someone's brains to learn their memories?

[@samg5463]

That's some "Heart of Darkness" type stuff. Great video as usual!

[@ajmanto4941]

the soul drinkers story is really sad.. but they still faught..

[@ZebraOnYourNose]

Friendly reminder the Soul Drinkers did nothing wrong and still do nothing wrong

[@Progen77]

You do not have all the facts correct here. The Soul Drinkers were not "obsessed" with recovering the Spear. It was their Chapter Relic and theirs by right.

[@goreobsessed2308]

Might makes right :P

[@deathlegionair]

Yes!!! My favorite boys get one!!

[@sluggy6074]

My friend sent me the soul drinkers omnibus. This was the only recreational book that I read start to finish.

[@carljhirst]

"Have you got any Soul?" -: Sarpa Don!

[@evelynlamoy8483]

Big soul drinkers fan here. I have a theory on their origin. A test of their gene-seed showed that they weren't descended from Rogal Dorn, and yet, they have a SUPER clear origin, and know exactly where they come from, so far as being descended from a specific group of the imperial fists fleet based shock attack branch of the legion right? I don't think it makes sense for them to know their origin to that specific of a degree, only for it to be completely untrue. So I think instead there is a key element being left out. Legions were semi-fluid in the olden days. There are numerous references to squads from legions that turned traitor who instead remained loyal, and also references to the 2 lost legions, and both of these groups, the lost legions and the loyalists from the traitor legions, had the same fate. They were integrated into other chapters. While the legion that usually received these outsiders were the ultramarines, it is more than likely that the others received a few as well. I think this is by far the most likely origin for the Soul Drinkers. only having lost part of that story, their shameful origin before joining the imperial fist.

[@stevengreen9536]

Did not know the space marines had court martials.But considering they are a branch of the imperial military it makes sense.This was interesting.

[@TheDukeOfDallas]

The Chapter that's hosts the 40k Imperium Players Ball. Purple Armor, pimp cup encrusted with jewels is the sigil, Brother A Pimp Named Slickback is their Reclusiarch, and their Motto is Emperors Up Xenos Down. I've finally found my brothers.

[@micheal5973]

The necrons silent king went. And then came running back and locked himself in his room because he saw what was coming. Then it’s hinted at in the book carcaradons: red tithe that there are entire space marine chapters that the imperium is unaware of that were given a special mission and made an oath to big e and have been fighting a massive war beyond the rim of the galaxy. Probably with the nids and all the chapters doing it are members of the traitor legions that remained loyal

[@olehhumeniuk1632]

are those guys who may have been transferred to the Imperial Fists from the 11th legion? I heard that there were such rumors. :)

[@starwraithspacemarine8605]

Hey I know that the Soul Drinkers are now gone or banished, and I probably already know the answer to this but what about the Soul Drinkers serving with the Deathwatch, what happened to them after all of this?

[@scottlock8584]

Probably allowed to remain

[@sluggy6074]

Years ago I looked at the lexicanum and it stated their strength as 20-60 marines. Now it just states unknown. Probably someone changed it thinking that estimate was a mistake or not updated but I think the original input in the lexicanum is closer to correct.

[@TyrranosVmVoDs]

That was fascinating. And sad.

[@texasallstar6969]

One of the most interesting chapters. Shame they wrote them into oblivion.

Does 40k and warhammer fantasy exist in the same universe? I like to think Warhammer 40k is set 40,000 years before the events of Warhammer fantasy.

[@MetallvmPT]

not really, it has some conections. but when you read the lores youll find they are detached from one another.

[@MetallvmPT]

I think you meant 40k years after*

[@9148H2]

No. I like to think before. In my mind, I see it as where Chaos survived, but the universe did not die. I like to think some major events caused the surviving Humans, Eldar, Orcs, and other races to find a new home on a distant world that has magical properties in a new galaxy far from eye of terror and warp tear that was in the milky way. Where the Surviving Humans and Eldar who now became Elves rebuilt their societies and Gods through the magic of the world they inhabited. Over time they became primitive and forgot their technologies all together in favor of magic and then Chaos returns once again. That's the only way I see it making sense to me.

[@MetallvmPT]

@@9148H2 Ok. Many people have their way of seeing things. Wich is good. As long as you keep an awareness thats the way you like to see it, and not the way it is ;)

[@Dro250]

Since the Imperium is so vast with planets at various levels of development. I like to think of the Warhammer Fantasy setting as just a planet with one of the last human colonies from the Dark Age of technology.
