I love your content, Can you make a video for us to send to friends we want to get into the hobby, along the lines of: "so, you have been reccomended 40k, here's what your getting into?"

[@jonsweeney4347]

With Magnus's luck he probably goes full 70's bush because every time he's tried to trim himself his ball skin gets caught in the clippers. He's got a network of little dots around the root of his junk like it was made of perforated red construction paper.

[@withlovefromlightindust591]

Hello Majorkill, Would you kindly make some lore videos on the Imperial Truth, the Imperial Creed, the Ecclesiarchy? Pretty please? Thank you.

[@locus814]

Yes the answer is yes

[@briangarcia7370]

KZbin & GAMESWORK PLEASE READ - This channel started years ago with this man using a cartoon avatar to make What If videos about warhammer lore. But about a year ago this man thought that it would be hilarious and profitable to openly use the N-WORD on this platform. Before this this man has made a comfortable career attacking, mocking as well as sending death threat to the Autistic Community. And in recent months this man started selling LOLLI PORNOGRAPHY using Gamesworkshop’s Intellectual property without the company’s permission behind his patreon pay wall. This man has constantly gone against KZbin’s Terms and Services. When KZbin took down the video where he laughed at using the N-word, this man re-uploaded the same video with a minor edit so that he could have a second laugh. When the community tries to cancel him for his horrible behavior that is exactly when he discontinued his cartoon avatar and started Parading in front of the camera. He doubled down constantly saying phrases along the line “I’ll do whatever I want”. For a hobby with a recommended age of 13 and older this can not be helpful for the community. I was 13 when I stepped into the GW for the first time, and over the years I saw other unhinged man-children in the shop doing saying the exact same things as this individual. And every single time a parent would hear the exact words from those men come out of their children’s and they all received life bans. How is this any different? KZbin’s platform allows him reach kids on an international level, he is directly responsible for creating the future RACISTS, SEXUAL PREDATORS, and CHRISCHANS. KZbin, Gamesworkshop and the sponsors that allow this behavior to continue are allowing themselves to associated with criminal activities. To any other critics who have also received death threat from this man, call his local authorities for questioning. And let me remind everyone that these actions of his are only the tip of the iceberg. To Gamesworkshop, he has made a following on KZbin that is close to your very own. On KZbin. WHY? Because your lore videos are boring(no offense), leaving parts of the community to funnel into this channel. On his live feeds he getting large donations from individuals, that money could be going directly into your own pockets. If you want to direct your customers into profitable lore videos, then GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT. Write a script that you are passionate about, cut the check and sent it to Superman. If you can some how pull that off, you will make a believer out of me and many others. I would even help with the cost by going back to my local Warhammer store and buy me some blood angels. To my close friends that were offended and then told by this man to shrug it off, I’m sorry. This disturbed man can not change his ways because he had years to prove it. And finally to you Majorkill- A dweeb who hides in sleeveless under armour is still a dweeb. You’ll never get rid me me

Magnus was one of the greatest primarchs and his fall is tragic. A lot of what he did is pretty understandable. Think about it: -Be the magic man -Magic gets outlawed -Probably about to see what happened to the thunderwarriors -Opportunity to save dad with your powers and legitimize your existence -Evil space god has been manipulating you from day 1 -Evil space god makes everything go wrong -Lose literal parts of your being and go insane -Still try to do good -Things just keep getting worse until you break If Angron didn’t have the butcher's nails he may have been able to do something...

[@KnightsWithoutATable]

Magnus has all the hair that Horus lost and the bald Primarchs never had. He had and still has the most glorious hair out of all the Primarchs, even making Fulgrim look deficient in volume and thickness. It wasn't perfect hair, but it was the strongest hair.

[@MrFallenone]

Magnus was lost way back during the Heresy. I think it was after he got booted of Terra, failing to get his noble shard. He accepted a replacement from Tzeentch in its place.

[@ishubetterthanyou1582]

Yep. That's the point where he actually gave in to Tzeentch, and of course, because Big E had to fuck the last hope of his plan actually getting done by basically telling your only hope that he has to kill all his sons if he wants to be "redeemed" -_+ Magnus, who literally saved some civilians while trying to infiltrate the palace, had to give up all his sons for getting "redeemed".

[@10101437]

Not going to lie the thumbnail of Magnus on the right is what I wish Magnus turned into, that amour looks sick on him

[@Gamingchairenthusiast122]

Craziest part of all this is that it's easier to send a message back in time then it is to break through the webway project as time has no resistance in the warp. To break through that many barriers and wards is one of the greatest feats of magic in warhammer 40k and it gets brushed pass the error of it all.

[@Donquixote_doflamingo164]

The magnus disrespect is crazy 😭😭

[@marceloasensiofilho3833]

Nah, it is pretty much deserved

[@notthatgerry]

After dooming humanity for ever, I think he deserves it.

[@Mare_Man]

​@@notthatgerry Everything Magnus did wrong was the Emperor's fault.

[@oldmanbread1826]

A video on if magnus took big E's replacement legion instead of saving his sons could be an interesting what if

[@Historyfrek4ever]

To be fair, the shattering of his souls also made Magnus so arrogant and delusional that upon becoming a deamon prince he has been living in his own little world. Not hard to get clapped when you have no sense of reality.

[@hostergaard]

So Magnus would maybe be the most realistic traitor Primarch to be redeemed. I mean, if the Big E could pull himself together long enough to burn out the Slaneesh's infection among his Custodes and go bitchslap one of the chaos gods he is probably roided up enough on 10000 years of worship juice to take back any of his sons, but even without that I think Magnus could be redeemed without emps roid raging. Not only is he one of the few unwilling traitors who basically wanted to be loyal and was effectiveoy forced to betray the imperium, but it can be argued that Titsnitch never fully corrupted him, only turning a shard of him into a demon and so never achieved full control over Magnus. Therefore one could argue that Magnus is not yet permanently demon prince and could be reclaimed. Or if that is too tall an order to do at once, one could simply go pokemon on his shards and collect enough to restore him. I mean the lore already confirms it as possible since they tried something similar already. Might have to piñata the demon prince shard until there is nothing left of it, but I am sure the Space Wolves would love to help out and have a birthday party. Maybe ask the Trazyn to borrow whatever sharded their Pokemon. Maybe promise him whatever shard made Mangus a bit of an arrogant dumb ass to put on display.

[@movespammerguyteam7colors]

Well, this explains why Magnus was so erratic in the If the Emperor had a TTS Device. And this explains the disastrous self deprecating humor he was spewing with the Eldari Laughing God.

[@drake8281]

Hey Majorkill, have you done a video on Warlocks and Farseers? I’d love to see a deep dive on the Eldar magic users!

I feel like taking Magnus’ most noble and pure shard and turning it into a separate person, thereby not being able to reunite it with actual Magnus, was yet another dumbass decision by the Emperor and Malcador. 😅😂

[@darksider2903]

Malcador was about to create a mini magnus using magnus's pure and loyal shard but primarch Khan messed up the ritual process

[@ishubetterthanyou1582]

​@@darksider2903 Yeah, because just giving the shard back or just trying to actually talk to his "nephew" Magnus( malcador being the closest psykee his own psychic powers), Malcadore deciding to make a "mini magnus" to use as a tool again is such a great plan. I get the fandom of Malcadore but honestly? He's a piece of shit that alienated many primarchs and actually led to many of them holding big grudges as well as literally fucking up so many plans and other things. Big E might have fucked up some things but Malcadore destroyed everything. Magnus's best chance of redemption? Gone. Making one of the most "evil" loyalist chapters that as also super astares? Check. Making an organisation named after the fucking Spanish Inquisition( I cannot believe Malcadore the "sigilite" wouldn't know about that) that has done almost as much harm(I'd argue far more) as compared to its benefits? Check. PISSING OFF EVEN THE KHAN BY DOING THE MEMORY WIPE? Yep. No wonder Horus wanted to smack Malcadore hard than he wanted to do it to the Emperor. Malcadore is a moron pretending to do the "I'm wise and old", and the worst part? He actually believed his delusions.

[@Velventian]

Magnus might be the only Chaos primarch with which they could pull off a redemption story, i know it wont happen but i personally would like to see that is only for the possible meeting of a loyal magnus and leeman both still hateful of one another but also regretting their decisions trying to undo their mistakes.
