[@deathdude42]

I have thought for years that a fantastic "new" faction for 40k would be a rouge Genestealer cult that somehow got itself completely severed from the Tyranid hivemind and thus developed its own unique culture and technology due to never being consumed by the hive fleets the way they were meant to be. They could be like the biotech faction that freely uses genetic engineering to make their own crazy hybrid monster/super soldier units, like basically cross the Mechanicus level of religious fervor with the crazy genetic fuckery of that one Warhammer Fantasy Skaven clan that makes all the monsters.

@@redpilldiogenes4741 it's not like that. The Genecultists in reference are sort of an anomaly who are treated as pets and emergency snacks. Then often the Genecults are stealing ships and spreading to other planets. But overall i sort of (not entirely) disagree. I like the much more insideous nature of the genecults, where even Chaos isn't presented as even being capable of subtlty. But the geneculte particularly double helix sort of presents a terrifying idea that the Tyranids plan to seed life and come back to the galaxy again some time in the future.

[@Pragabond]

@@redpilldiogenes4741 To be fair at that point the members of the vanguard are very much so still alien. They seem human and they can speak the same language but their brains are not at all human. Its also possible they might be breaking them down and they just remake the greatest hits of genestealer insurgents from the consumed memories to land on a planet and start an infestation with an experienced seed starter pack. But alternatively BECAUSE Tyranids are so alien to us despite having all this information/memories of consumed humans the hivemind understands the data in alien/hungy bug ways and they don't really "get" how to make a convincing human from scratch and also starting from scratch on each planet wastes time. You can definitely still justify it as them being alien as long as there isn't a codex that comes out and says "yeah the nids just let the cultists live because they wanted to show how much they appreciate their generous donation to the swarm like bravo guys round of applause wow just wow" THEN I'd have a problem with it. As is the nids are so perfectly depicted as alien that them doing something that even SEEMS human just turned into a handful of fun theories to mess around with on what incomprehensible bug logic might lead to that.

the hive fleets fight to test their theoretical with the practical, as gilliman would say your plan of evolution might be good enough to conquer weak humans, but is it the best so fight and find out wich one really is the strongest, wich submind has the best plans, who adapts the best or the fastest and then the winner gets all the genetics and tried mutations of the loser to use for their proven to be better plans deliberate natural selection nothing is lost except carbs

I've read two 40k novels that touch on this. One's a spoiler for the book and one isn't. The one that isn't is in Cult of the Spiral Dawn - the prologue has a Sisters outpost wiped out by a fledgling cult, aided by a sister that they were able to indoctrinate (the process of choosing her is described as psychically probing the minds of the sister to find one with weaknesses or doubts), who is later regarded as a saint within the cult. The one that is a SPOILER is in the epilogue of Cult of the Warmason. The sister leader who is the main character of the novel is revealed to have been secretly indoctrinated during her final showdown with the patriarch (or possibly when she survived a genestealer uprising in her childhood, it's vague and alluded to during a bout of hypnotic hallucinations). Tldr: yes they can, but it seems like people with stronger wills and unshakable faith are harder to indoctrinate into the cult.

Also on an unrelated note that Governor's daughter became infatuated with Cain and tried her damnest to get him to marry her.

I've done it! Behold! The Ordos Misterius! The best sleuths in the entire Imperium. Their leader is Inquisitor Fredrick. He was a dropout from the Adeptus Mechanicus as he discovered through several months of undercover investigations that the Magos was consorting with the Dark mechanicus to unleash an Abominable Intelligence onto the forge world of Bara 5. He fulfilled his duty to the Emperor by foiling the heretics schemes by not only destroying the A.I but also utilizing his talents in traps and Sabotage to incapacitate all involved without even spilling a drop of both his blood or the Heretics ensuring that they faced the full wrath of the Adeptus ministorum. In honor of his achievements he was made an Inquisitor and now utilizes those same skills to serve the Imperium. He is a blonde man with a right blue eye and a red eye prosthetic wearing a white version of the inquisitor uniform accented by an orange ascot. His right arm is a cybernetic that can open to reveal all the tools he may need to make his famous Goldberg traps. Personality wise he is quite kind if not a tad bit obsessed with traps. But be warned, for he is not soft nor naive and if you gain his ire your next bathroom break will become your own Goldberg Execution chamber. His second in Command is the lovely Daphne. She is a beauty wearing a purple skin tight bodysuit with flowing orange hair, ruby lips, skin like porcelain, and mechanical antenne prosthetics to replace her missing ears that are the only thing marring her lithe hourglass figure. She was a slave gladiator fighting for the pleasure of a planetary govenor who enjoyed forcefully augmenting his gladiators and having the fight both Xenos and beasts. She was the current champion with 99 victories to her name. She had lost her ears on her 95th win and the cybernetics allows her to both retrieve and send vox signals that the governor would use torture her via playing loud noises every night. But the Governor got bored of her constant victories so he made the brilliant decision to import a Pskyer who had a strange 8 pointed start tattooed onto him. During the following Daemonic incursion Fredrick, who had begun investigating the Govenor for possible connections to the slaver Dark Eldar found himself keeping a fortified position in the slave pens as they ironically enough, were the safest place on the planet due to them being made to hold all sorts of powerful creatures. He heard a vent cover fall and barely managed to survive Daphne's descending drop kick that would of surely knocked his head off his shoulders. The heavily injured Daphne who was at Ground Zero of the incursion since the Psyker was her opponent before he went nuclear, fell into the rope trap set by fredrick beneath the vent and was promptly captured. She expected him to kill her but no, he didn't. She was the first non Daemon he had seen in hours and desperate for both info and backup, released her on the condition of her using her ears to call for help. It took 2 days before the Incursion was stopped and they were rescued and Daphne has stayed by his side ever since. It is an open secret that they are a couple but HOW they became such in just 2 days is a topic of great interest among their peers. Daphne is cold and very judgmental, never wasting an opportunity to point out the flaws of everyone around her but when it comes to her team and ESPECIALLY Fredrick she is warm and a bit of a scatterbrain. The third member is the Astropath Velma who joined due to her incessant habit of snooping around led her, Fredrick, and Daphne fleeing from an Orc WAAGH in the spaceship equivalent of a Dumpster the first time they met. She has short brown hair, pale skin, and a pear shaped figure. She dresses in an orange dress and over her eyes is a special set of Spectacles that allows her to see but they often fall off resulting in her on her hands and knees grasping around for them. Personally wise she is filled to the brim with Curiosity and between her staggering intellect and her incredible powers of deduction Fredrick eagerly recruited her to the team. The last two members are always together so they will share an entry. Shaggy and his Great Dane Scooby Doo are both cowards and gluttons always looking for something to munch on. Shaggy is a thin , brown haired man with stubble on his chin wearing a green shirt and brown pants. Scooby Doo is a talking brown great Dane wearing a collar with Inquisitor seal hanging off it. They were the last members of the team to be recruited and it was for a very simple reason. Shaggy is a chef and they wanted something good to eat out in the field. They stayed behind in the ship during missions for the first 3 months Until one day the pair left to buy groceries and by complete accident stumbled acros a Genestealer cult and escaped unscathed bearing crucial information which the team used to save the entire world. Ever since then the pair has been dragged along on missions against their will and the team's success rate has remained at 99% Hmmm? Why can the dog talk? Well, he can't tell Shaggy what he wants to eat if he couldn't could he? Just don't think to hard about it. The Migraines and hallucinations about starving in a chair aren't worth it. Together these brave heroes travel the galaxy solving mysteries and saving humanity one case at a time.

Great writing. I liked the part where Shaggy and Scooby are the cause for Ordos Misterious' success

[@MakeLoveNotWar687]

Brood brother infantry > then astra militarum infantry change my mind

[@forkittens]

both are trash as neither are worthy of pinning here

[@LordGarryk]

Nope. I agree

[@imperialguardsman_stell_legion]

Yes inquisitor, this comment

[@Ashwulf]

"Insert obligatory BLAM joke here"

[@dadbodenvy4247]

Praying for cool brood brother rules

[@Geeko170]

And poster bought. As soon as I saw the digital version I knew I would be getting it.

[@riccardocalosso5688]

Omg, the big rig reference was amazing! Thanks Shy!

[@zobblombie8155]

Exactly what I needed in a trying time, you guys are the best. Im currently using alot of GS models in my new army to make up part of the Gueseva of my Tau mercenaries. The bikes and trucks make for an interesting mix, along with the infantry.

[@nowsmile790]

It would be pretty cool if they did a video on the Sisters of the Night

I love that most of the sponsored ads have been hair related. Atleast the ones I remember

[@jairovalverde5735]

28:09 have you heard the expression "Child bearing hips"? Do we remeber how genestealers multiply?

[@estusprovais7520]

I think DK forgets just how gargantuan the Imperial Palace actually is. Being its essentially continent sized and acts as though it were a wart on the side of an Ecumenopolis

[@pezzleysnipes8110]

Its so fucking weird that you did a Genestealers video this week, because I finished Day Of Ascension, on Tuesday. So now I'm looking forward to the discussion video of it. :)

[@krelekari]

the uprisings and such are exactly why I simp for chaos

[@schoenperkins8210]

One huge bonus the genestealers and their cults have over the Imperium is that they only need to worry about short term. Sure their plans are decades in the making but whats that compared to the endless centuries the Imperium wants to endure, or the hundreds of planets compared to a few hive cities that the cults gotta worry about

[@AceTaxiaGaming]

[@ewanhogg3068]

26:05 The Hivecult can, undeniably, dig it.

[@davidgretzschelcommunicati1630]

Do Genestealers ever manage to infest Chaos-held human worlds? Or Dark Mechanicum planets?

[@ThePetrifiedkit]

so cool to hear some some of the quotes that got put onto the mtg commander decks flavor text

[@Zakvadr1995]

I’m calling it: next poster is a Pin Up Genestealer Magos.

[@lolgisticalofficer233]

Bricky, it needs to be Scoob and gand unmasking Alpharius...and then the next Alpharius..and then the next...

[@drakebell564]

17K has been reached so I guess we all know what the next 3 episodes are probably gonna be

[@silaskruse40]

German viewer here. First of all great Work these episodes are always good before sleep. Second: German words let alone Names can be really hard to pronounce so even if Bricky butchred the Name is better than not even trying in the first place. Keep up the good Work ^^

[@schaedli177]

i feel like Bricky needs something good to hear for ones... 40k and Mtg have a collab, where Mtg gets 4 edh decks in Nids, Crons, Chaos and Imperium. Celestine is in the Imperium deck along with her random doves (on her artwork). now wanna ask for Raven Guard again because birds

[@fernmarbo7717]

An episode on hive cities would be cool.

[@MLGHazrad]

Is there a story where a chaos cult and a genestealer cult interact? It would be an interesting story as the Tyranids and Chaos Undivided where to fight each other for taking over the land they are in.

[@Zekemister]

They should read “Day of Ascension” for the book club. Get a good insight into the genestealer cult and their thought process.
