Crimson Slaughter Warhammer 40K Lore

Once: "We name this chapter.... THE CRIMSON FISTS!" Meanwhile in the warp, Khorne: "Hm, what? DIBS!"

*"They became the best at being 'the bad guys'!"* *Given that this is WARHAMMER 40-FUCKING-K......being fully devoted to the side of EVIL/CHAOS in this manner is REALLY SAYING SOMETHING for the Crimson Slaughter!*

[@Baldermort]

Yep. Slaughter are hardcore. :) Thanks for listening, brother. :)

[@HCUhardcoreUnited]

It's fininaly starting to get nice outside. Doing some 40K reading while I can.

[@UncleMikeDrop]

Maybe, allowing the Astartes to be more well rounded people could help keep them from falling to Chaos.

[@Baldermort]

Not possible. They need to be directed to be effective. They're taken as children really and trained only for war. Detract from that and you wreck the force. :)

[@kieranh2005]

How many of the Salamanders have turned O Bald Master of Wisdom? They value the bonds of family.

[@ragnarian]

Night lords are weirdly rounded people Most of them while being traitors, aren't chaos worshippers

“How could a true Marine become forsworn? It seemed unlikely that he would suddenly turn his back on the pattern of a lifetime and pact with the Darkness. What had Chaos to offer him? Wealth? We have no use for the baubles that other men covet; we already have the finest of everything that a man could wish for. Sensual gratification? We are taught its transitory nature. Power? We know true power, which is the will of the Emperor. Who among us could equal his sacrifice?” No - as I stood over his body I came to understand. He had deviated not in one leap but in small steps, by increments”. - Bloody Moon (Dark Angel) - Cloud Runners Last Stand. It’s a cruel world.

Alas, so. They tell me to make youtube videos. :( Thanks for listening, brother. :)

[@DTHMR08]

I know I'm late to the party here, but I love and collect The Crimson Slaughter. Loved this video about them! But I've always thought they were Undivided with only their leader; Kranon the Relentless being a champion of Khorne. However I could be wrong! There isn't much lore to go off with them, and they have a similar resemblence to the World Eaters so I guess it's an assumption to make, that they are dedicated to Khorne. Even so I've been bulding and painting mine as undivided with multiple influences from each of the chaos gods. Anyway! Thanks for taking a dive into them brother! I hope to see more of them or chaos videos in the future

[@M1ABRIMSvsPANZER]

Just a heads up at 5:29 you call them the crimson fists

[@Baldermort]

Yep. I can never be perfect. Or I could release on video a decade. I prefer fast and imperfect. Thank you for listening brother Fitzpatrick.

[@kilgoretrout7389]

Great upload. Hope everything turned out okay. Glad you're back. As a side note. I think it would be fascinating if you could eventually do a series on the night haunter and the night lords. I think you would do an amazing job. Merry Christmas.

[@Baldermort]

Thanks Kilgore. Things turned out well, thank you. :) Now I am definitely moving to a Night Lords introduction soon. Konrad will get the same treatment as Rogal. One Day. Complicated Primarch - Tragic, truly tragic.

[@chalkdemon8019]

What legion rules would you use for the Crimson Slaughter in the new CSM Codex?

[@SIMSURGE]

They Are undivided. Most people think they Are khorne because of thier colours.

[@snufflebunny539]

[@Cynocehali]

I love this channel! The narration is so engaging! Could we please get some lore in the Tyranid Swarmlord?

[@user-unos111]

Inna nutshell: They were weak and lacked faith, thus making themselves vulnerable to Chaos corruption

[@lonegoat81]

question, I thought The Salamanders and some Ultramarines kept in contact with their original Family? Great video, setting the bar high my friend. May your Christmas be Merry and your family healthy and happy :)

[@Baldermort]

Now, I consider the Salamanders the 'exception that proves the rule' so you are utterly correct. Hmmm. I did not know Ultras did that. Nuts. Another exception. Lol. But generally it stands. I may have to be more careful with my sweeping statements from here on in. :) Thank you. May your kith and kin be well and I hope you have a magnificent festive period. :)

[@rohan0724]

I feel like this could be fixed, if like 1 or 2 senior members of the primogenitor chapter were placed in command positions within newly founded successors

[@Baldermort]

thanks boss. :)

[@marcusbush336]

I’m surprised you didn’t mention their original lore. They are cursed to hear voices and chattering of their victims until they kill again, which quiets the voices temporarily.. so they are constantly searching for slaughter to quell the voices

Chris Prescott fair. Thanks for coming back to Me, brother. I am trying to mix up the lore - keep it fresh - so I’ll try a tiny bit more variety. :). Do consider it though. Playing.

@@Baldermort I keep forgetting about that show. It might be because I haven't delved into Inquisitor lore yet, but I just don't find the premise of following an Inquisitor's story interesting.

[@weaselwolf]

You know, between this and my recent reading of the early Horus Heresy novels, it's amazing how 90% of the imperium's problems seem to stem from Male Fragility and an atmosphere of Toxic Masculinity. Seriously, the Primarchs were 18 different flavors of Daddy Issues and about half of them needed a damned hug or an 'atta boy' and the whole thing could have been averted. But instead we get lack of communication amongst a band of hyper-emotional broflakes looking for reasons to get their feelings hurt. And before anyone flips, I've been in the hobby for over twenty years, and my favorite plastic space men are the Blood Angels...aka the Legion of Kyles, sipping on their goblets of Monster Ultra Red and waiting to put their fists through the metaphorical drywall of someone's face. Sanguinius had the 'self sacrificing big brother' flavor of daddy issues with a side of 'Anger Management Issues' They use art therapy to try and reign in their tempers.

[@Manglet762]

Really this has nothing to do with male fragility or toxic masculinity. People go to great lengths to be accepted and praised when it's not given to them in healthy doses, happens every day. Look deep enough and you'll find examples of supposed "toxic masculinity/male fragilty" in women too, and at that point it's not even about gender exclusive flaws, it's just positive attention-depravity at work.

[@themanformerlyknownascomme777]

I also have a bit of a knack for the social sciences (though my specialty is sociology I still know quite a bit about psychology) and while I am a newer fan to 40K I think I know what you are talking about. "Masculinity" is not the right word, I find "Identity" to be a far more appropriate term as the Primarks struggles were far less gender oriented, more based instead on morality and the "nurture" given to them by their "homes" and of course the dad issues you mentioned.
