for anyone who needs to know a little bit more about the Thunder Warriors:
The Thunder Warriors, also sometimes referred to in ancient records as the Thunder Legion and the Thunder Regiments, and known in High Gothic as the Legio Cataegis, were the 20 regiments or legions of genetically-engineered, superhuman warriors of Terra created by the design of the Emperor of Mankind through alchemical augmentation, somatic gene-sculpting and muscle-grafting techniques.
Their purpose was to unite the homeworld of humanity beneath the Emperor's rule during the Unification Wars on Terra in the late 29th and 30th Millenniums.
They were the first gene-enhanced warriors created by the Emperor and served as the precursors to the present-day Space Marines

A little Trivia for you fan fiction fans out there: - Shield Captain Azhlan Uruk was taken by the Emperor in his infancy from the Ararat region thus his name was chosen from real names given to people in that region even today. - the Becephelus was in fact the Emperor's flag ship. - "From Golden Light" is a Custodes Tactic from the 8th edition Codex Custodes. Its basically their way of deep striking troops into battle via teleportarium. - Dark Angels were chosen as acting legion so I could make a joke about recovering the gene seed of the "Fallen". - Captain Melian was an actual Captain of the Dark Angels in the Horus Heresy. - This story ties in well with the novel "Valdor" and "The Last Church". - in "Valdor" the investigators of the then High Lords of Terra find scattered remains of Raptor Imperialis and Lightning sigil marked armour pieces on Mount Ararat, fueling their suspicion that the Emperor had disposed of loyal imperial forces and must be held accountable. Looks like the orbital bombardment wasn't quite enough to destroy all the evidence ;) Hope you liked my story!

The Astartes coughs. Blood flows down his chin before slowing to a trickle. The spear is wedged in his chest. He suspects two of his longs and one heart have been punctured. He also suspects he has been speared all the way through and out into the power pack. It is a beautiful weapon, how honored he was to have his life stolen away by such an elegant weapon. The weapon of a god, or the son of a god. He raises one hand and places it on the shaft of the blade. Traitor! A deep voice, much deeper then his snarls before yanking the spear to the right out of his hand. The Astartes let out a strangled cry of pain, before replacing his midnight blue gauntlet back on the spear. You dare stain the honor of my sacred weapon with the touch of your traitorous hand? The voice speaks again. The Astartes looks up into the golden armored helm of the warrior who had killed him and grins, a goblet of blood pour's out. Internal bleeding, they both knew he did not have much longer to live. He tries to speak but chokes on his own blood filling his mouth and spends much time, too much time of what little life he had left spitting out phlegm and crimson to speak. I...if my mere gauntlet on shaft of your weapon is a dishonor to it, then does my blood which stains it now not taint it beyond repair and mark you yourself a heretic-the Astartes says before gasping in pain again before laughing as the spear is driven deeper into his flesh. Why are you laughing? the golden warrior roars. Commanding the traitor to answer him. Suddenly the Astartes eyes seem to focus and he stares back up into the emotionless faceplate of the Custodes. Cold, malevolent black eyes meet impassive golden mask and the traitor Astartes laughs as he explains. Because you now understand! Because you finally understand what it is like to be betrayed. All these centuries, all these millennia my "brothers" and I, he sneered the word brothers, have been honing the art of treachery into a fine point. Ever since we learned the truth of our "beloved" Emperor, what he had done, would he would do to us, why he was so contemptuous of us for doing what he bred us to do. Ever since then all my dreams have been of this day. For ten thousand years! The Astartes laughed loud and madly once more before going quieting to a light chuckle and heavy breathing. This is why? This is why? The Custodes repeated his shout of distain. You laugh at your own demise because you believe you have won some petty quarrel against us and our rightful lord that had only ever existed in your head until you made it a reality. No...the dying Astartes whispered. I thought you were supposed to be better then us. Smarter, stronger, faster. You certainly got the latter two but the former...not so much. The dying traitor said with a chuckle. I did this...because I thought it would be fun to see what happens when you take the Golden Lions of the Emperor and bring them down to my level. I am nothing like you! The traitor roared in rage while twisting his blade abruptly and dislodging it from the traitors chest and raising it over his head like an executioner. The traitor grinned and with his last breath spoke his final words. Then tell me who stands victorious but forever a bitter vengeful husk with nothing to show for his struggle? The spear stabbed down and tore into and through the traitors remaining heart. You may think that you have beaten me! You may think that you have broken me! But I will remain as I have always been! The word of the Emperors will! What is your traitorous ilk compared to that? The Custodes ripped the spear out of the space marines body and the traitor fell back silently, lifeless, dead. As the Custodes limped away something impossible happened. Despite having both his hearts cut out, despite having died the traitor drew in breath one last time and spoke his true final words. Atta boy...The traitor breathed out a sigh and this time finally, permanently, died.

[@billjameson1254]

It's hilarious that he disposed of the Thunder Warriors. They were perfect, absolutely ideal anti-Chaos Marines. They, doomed for being "unstable" are replaced by Astartes who have flaws like Blood Thirst, madness, geneseed taint, and are led by madmen like Konrad (without primarchs, good luck generating more). Half of these primarchs and space marines fall to chaos/the warp, and for all that, are weaker in general, unable to easily dispose of Orks or Tyranids, whose weaker bolter weapons struggle against Necrons. Had he stuck with the Thunder Warriors, the imperium may not be "better" but it would be a lot safer from external threats.

[@banneduser5187]

The thunder warriors were about as versatile as ork nobs lets be honest. Cool yes, but spread out in the galaxy and devoid of crayons to eat they would just murder everyone and call it compliance

[@maltheri9833]

That's the problem. They were just overpowered World Eaters and on a galaxy scale where the Emperor couldn't be everywhere and theres no way he could make enough Custodes to police them,he'd eventually get a cataclysmic Thunder Warrior betrayal and they'd easily overrun the 10k if their numbers were ever legion size. Even if The Emperor himself could defeat every one it wouldn't save the galaxy from dealing with them

[@billjameson1254]

@@maltheri9833 At the time there were more than 10k. He lost a huge number of them in the war in the web way. He also doesn't need to necessarily keep producing them in such quantities, but culling them was unnecessary. It likely fed into the paranoia of the SM that helped fuel the HH.

[@mcchicken1849]

Another great video. Making the Thunder Warriors sound more gruff, deep and savage, while the Custodian spoke properly, and through the vox speaker of his helmet (as the Thunder Warriors MK1 power armor didn't have that) was a great touch. It combined with the rest of the dialogue adds very good contrast to help drive the point home that the Thunder Warriors are what they are, savages, barbarians that are hard to control, and why they must be killed off for it so that humanity may move forward. Same goes for the Dark Angel. Also, showing how out of league the Custodians are to the Thunder Warriors, even when greatly outnumbered by showing reaction time from the Custodian and the Thunder Warriors as event occurred was very impactfull. Only criticism I could think of would be the Dark Angel himself, as (from what I know) they would have not even been known as the Angels of Death at that point, but just as the First Legion, and he would not have wings adorning his helmet, as it would not be apart of the legions culture at such an early point. The Legions acquiring different names and performing cultural based modifications to their armor would come later on in the coming crusade for all of them, but this early, they more or less would be rocking unpainted, unmodified armor. At least as far as I know, so feel free to correct me if I am wrong, I get all my lore second hand of KZbin, Fandom wiki, ect. Over all, another great video. This one seems to be getting popular remarkably quicker then your other videos (2 days so far and already at 1.5K), looks like people are finally starting to discover you. Kinda ironic in a way, you do a video talking about the events leading up to the launch of the great Crusade (a great event of expanding) and your channel may be about to do the same from how popular this video is. You'll be at 1000 subs before you know it. Keep up the good work.

i do like how this reminds me of the simple truth. The Imperium was a rotten nightmare before it even reached Mars. no foundations. Nothing Stable. Just a giant staircase of bones, both the enemy and the loyal, descending deeper into hell. Forever. man i love this setting.

[@goliath1179]

Not gonna lie, having the Dark Angles bring down the last church doesn’t hold nearly enough weight as the Thunder Warriors. The burning of the church was seen as savage, matching Urea’s story about how monstrous they were to all those that stood in their way. However, replacing that with the Dark Angles is at best a disservice.

[@KillTeamHungary]

Its only fair, GW does disservice to the fans almost every week

[@goliath1179]

@@KillTeamHungary an eye for an eye makes the whole world goes blind. I’ll always have faith in the community to make something amazing just because of the wealth of amazing fan content whether it was Hellsreach, Text To Speech, Astartes, or the good voice acting of this. The amazing voice acting and illustration of the Last Church was also glorious in its voice acting and illustrations.

[@KillTeamHungary]

@@goliath1179 oh no doubt about that. The Last Church is one of my favorite short stories of the 30K era. And about my fan fiction short story, I suggest when you hear the parts you dont like, just use your imagination and substitute e.g. Dark Angel with Legionarie. This is my version, which is also pretty good, just look at the numbers likes and positive comments. Its fan fiction, we do what we want. Unless its about female SM. Then we deserve all the S*** we get.

[@goliath1179]

@@KillTeamHungary I understand that it’s your story, and this is a great opportunity to ask about it. Why was their a change from having the Thunder Warriors to the Dark Angels burn down the last church on terra? I mean, creatively it also works better with the Thunder Warriors, because like the last church, they were the final detail that needed to be taken care before a brand new age in humanity is written. Having one of their most notable actions switched out with the Dark Angels feels like an odd choice, less wrapping up all the old things in one bag and more of a new sweeping in over the old.

[@teddycush55]

I still thought that thunder warriors were superior to Astartes. I know that Custodes are the pinnacle but I swear there is a canonical story where a team of Astartes hunt a single thunder warrior and a few are killed before stopping him.

[@AVoxintheVoid]

[@Screechman19]

The quality of this is amazing! However there are some lore discrepancies. This makes it sound like the Thunder Warriors are chumps when in reality the Custodes are some of the only warriors who stood a chance against the TW in massed numbers. The TW are known for being very tough and I don't think they would have died so easily, or that there where no Custodes casualties. Would have been better to have the custodes fighting alongside the TW in the battle then at its end make the speech and turn on them, great video overall though!

[@banneduser5187]

Thunder warriors imo are comparible to ork nobs. Not chumps granted, but compared to custodes they aren't even remotely in the same league. If the custodes had prior knowledge of the TW cull then yes i can absolutely see them having no casualties. Rolling over 1 planet of divided baseline human factions wouldn't even impress those pathetic weebs the tau ffs
