Asurmen & The Dire Avengers EXPLAINED By An Australian | Warhammer 40k Lore

[@majorkill]

I think someone in GW really likes the colour blue, first the Ultramarines and now these... What's next? Blue Tau? Pick up the Space Elf Avenger Lord here : www.majorminis.com.au/products/space-elf-avenger-lord

Honestly, I don't even play the games, and i've been subscribed to this dude for like a year now and I'm totally here for the hilarious workarounds this guy comes up with to avoid lawsuits. You're going so strong that I'm considering getting a mini just to have as a symbol of the fuckin tenacity.

I’ve never played the game either.

Ahahah same for me, got into this because of Cavil and stayed because of majorkill! Never read the books or played the games

[@trimeerious4349]

Getting a video about how each of the pre heresy primarchs would have reacted to being the imperial regent as Guilliman is would be pretty cool. Seeing how each primarch would rule their own imperium.

[@timdillon4876]

This is such a lame video idea for him. You're asking him to just stand around and make shit up for 15 minutes. Personally, I wouldn't want to watch majorkill just telling us about his personal fanfictions, and I don't think most people would. Probably why he hasn't made this video.

I love Phoenix Lords and Asurmen most of all. I really wish the Eldar got more respect in the lore, their back story is one of the most interesting in all of 40k imo, and Phoenix Lords are unbelievably bad ass. Seriously tempted by the mini, that looks really nice (unlike the 20-year old original)

[@MrRawrCEO]

Unfortunately GW too obsessed with using them as punching bags despite being one of the most advanced species in the Galaxy.

"Hope comes from within, not without. There is no light to show the way, but that which some of us carry. Be a lantern, not a shadow, Eldrad. Those of us that can, must walk the darker path, so that others may follow" -Asurmen: The Darker Road. It's an audio drama that I highly suggest. It's only over an hour long, and probably one of my favourite 40k stories ever. Asurmen is just THAT GUY. He lost everything, was literally at his lowest, wanted to end it all. And then he snapped, and had the epiphany that "dying is for losers. I'm going to dedicate my entire life to fucking over chaos and avenging my people". I love his design that's almost reminiscent of a superhero, and the idea of just him going around the galaxy in Stormlance, fighting evil and helping people. He's one of the few proper examples of a wandering hero in the 40k galaxy, and in the grim darkness of the far future, you can't help but root for him and his disciples. Excellent mini as usual, majorkill! I don't even play the tabletop (more like I can't), but if I could buy this wonderful mini I would've in a heartbeat! (Cause god the gw one sucks...). Keep up the good work mate!

[@virtualranger7780]

Always impressed by how you weave a story out of material to create a relevant promotion for your products. It's just good hussle.

1:50 The Aeldari Empire really should have dedicated their time to expand the Webway and explore nearby galaxies as a way to alleviate their collective boredom.

[@ballsinurmouth-2]

Ikr they could have done alot in 60 million years but they just decided to fuck a god into existence

[@Tacoguy1000]

That was a thing I thought for a long time as well. You'd think they'd either look to distant galaxies to sate their boredom or something alike.

Its weird to see all of these Battlemace 40 million minis randomly added to these videos. Guess its a good way for Majorkill to showcase the work of some badass artists that make warriors IN SPACE !!

[@Beardednortherner]

Why must you make such good minis! I might have to get one and paint it up to use on my channel

[@XXMatt0040XX]

You've got a lot of untapped content in this format. The non-tabletop character videos, especially the Barabas Dantioch one are *really* good and show how 40k's a fleshed out universe, with real characters. Not everything has to be "BOOM BOOM CHAINSWORD GO BRRR" Edit: actually thinking of it the Dantioch episode was probably the most emotional video since the Gotrek and Felix one. It hits harder when it's just one guy.

[@kylisius2868]

That was, by far, the most Australian insult I have ever heard.

[@tax1643]

Every time you introduce a character and then release a new major mini, the HIGHLIGHT of the video for me is what you name the mini. This one was kind of a cop-out in terms of naming, but I forgive you because of the lore.

[@gideonmele1556]

I had always seen the Phoenix Lord ‘respawns’ as soul/warp power since eldar are the prime psykers in the current time. Being the pinnacle of eldar warrior culture, those who take up the mask and mantle of a dedicated combat doctrine literally become it, bypassing any need for soul stones

[@demonknight39]

Love watching your videos while I'm cooking dinner😊 anything else thats cool about the thousand suns?

[@Filmanator3000]

[@yopoxikeweapescai9066]

Bro really is tempting me to buy his minis when i dont even have money for food rn xd

[@jacksonmcmillen3209]

I think another reason, and the reason I consider canon for myself, that phoniex lords are so strong is that eldar are the most physic race and just how Guliman is sort of ascending to godhood by the worship of the imperium, I think that the Eldar worship the phoniex lords as Demi gods of war and after some time they became that through the will and belief of the entirety (minus Drukhari) of the most physic race.

[@jacksonmcmillen3209]

Psychic not physic ^

[@jc7997aj]

the Phoenix lords (ability to reincarnate) is possible because the suits of armor are minature infinity circuits. Just like what the craftworlds have but ... tiny.

[@InMurdnightClad]

I watch the news and can't help but wonder...are we the Eldar?

[@JoeyFangaz]

Genuinely suprised you Havnt done a Tau Major Mini yet but Elves rock

[@CSK_T.]

waiwaiwai... Wait a minute. The "child" that saved the soon-to-be Asurmen wasn't just some rando. She was the warrior who would become Jain Zar ; Asurmen didn't meet the Banshe of world... I really recommend the novel "Jain Zar" : it tells the whole story of Asurmen's rebirth alongside his first pupil, if you want some Black Library "approved" lore.

[@artistpoet5253]

Isn't the Tao Circle also worn by other Aeldari? It seems to be one of their most recognizable symbols, and is especially favored by Warlocks and Farseers.

[@Joni_Tarvainen]

Does anyone else yell "G'DAY!" back to Majorkill during the intro or is it just me?

[@SymbioteMullet]

I feel like the origin of the name "aspect warrior" has got lost somewhere along the way - each type represents one aspect of the war god, Kaela Mensha Khaine. They use the power of Khaine to keep themselves focused and so not give in to their unchecked emotions and start slaaneshing everywhere. Dire Avengers represent the noble but merciless aspects of Khaine. Also, ever noticed how similar the words Khaine and Khorne are?
