So nobody is going to mention the Silver Knight of Slaneshh who was a Grey Knight?

[@bronyman1016]

If my memory serves me correctly he did get corrupted but I think it costed slaneesh a lot and a lot of power and influence to do so so the hermaphrodite that is slaneesh is very very reluctant to use his/her newest and greatest tou

[@roberthutchinson2856]

Was it ever confirmed as a grey knight?

[@murdock94]

Weren't multiple Grey Knights lost on the way?

[@BrotherChaplainKorvax]

​@@roberthutchinson2856No it was not

[@ii-bg3pw]

From my understanding they retconned it that instead of him being a grey night he’s just a random marine now

[@NorthernXY]

The Grey Knights are the antithesis of evil, they go to Hell so others can go to Heaven. They give up their humanity, for humanity. They've just been done dirty by Black Library by being written poorly.

[@JasoniusRexington]

Thank you for this! I have also been disappointed with a Grey Knights novel I bought. I've also heard someone say that GK are "Mary Sues" because their faction doesn't really have a lot of internal strife, they get their geneseed from The Emperor, they're so badass to be on or nearly on par with Custodes. I really like your comment because this sums up the conflict with the Grey Knights, why they're interesting. They take on the grimmest, most mind-bendingly hellish of tasks and give up their humanity to take on humanity's gravest foes. Somehow, they are immune to corruption but are still exposed to the absolute horrors that are daemons. It's a dirty job but someone's got to do it. Their drama is not so much from internal conflict as it is from their quests and foes they face, in addition to the moral complexity of dealing with the public after it had been exposed to chaos.

[@christianhunt4999]

One should always remember they are part of the inquisition. "Putifying" can go many ways.

[@Gazza-eo3ei]

The fact that you have so few subscribers for such a good 40k channel baffles me

[@88Spint]

Khorne must love these guys. Unwavering warriors who fearlessly face off the enemy by directly diving in to their midst and yet they survive. I think the only thing he dislikes about them is the killings of the weak, be they ally or foe.

[@marcushanes100]

One of the reasons the grey knights are so intimidating and awe inspiring is that every time you see one it’s like the first time!

[@legiontepes3474]

The stuttering free version. Ty for the re elucidation. Worthy of the Grey knights to get rid of the stuttering influence of the ruinous powers.

[@Erebusdidnothingwrongish]

Holy Emperor! What a treat for work. Thank you kind souls :) ❤

[@prinzvonbismarck6821]

The old video is tainted by corruption??? We watch again because We are the hammer!!!!!!

[@djsaunter]

GK: "I am the hammer!" Guardsmen: ""Vulkan?!!" GK: "What!?! No, I'm a Grey Knight, the hammer of-" Guardsman: "I mean if anyone is the Emperor's hammer, it has to be Vulkan right? Did you clear this with him? If you are speaking metaphorically, then The Lion comes to mind, but I mean hammers and Vulkan are pretty intrinsically linked together" GK: "EXTERMINATUS!!"

[@horatiobumbleton-smythe9427]

The armour with steel faith written on it and pauldrons with english letters just broke it. We died out, our STC needs to be discovered before they start writing our Xenos language!

[@michaelgautreaux3168]

As before, The Premiere was received untainted. But the reaffirmation remains glorious. A salute of praise for U're continued integrity & devotion. Keep us in the Light of the Emperor! 👍👍

[@channyh403]

Another amazing video! So thorough and your voice is so perfect for Warhammer... send chills right through me. I love everything you are doing and for such a new fan to Warhammer - I appreciate your time and effort 🥰🥰🥰

[@Jenksz]

In the middle of the workday? Dude - you trying to kill me here?

[@flaviomonteiro1414]

The last quote with Immortal Imperium playing in the background is such an awesome touch. Thanks Remembrancer,

[@redzuanlee7305]

I love your content man, i watch almost everything from your channel, love it!

[@CJayUA]

Definitely the best grey knights lore video out here - I’ve been waiting for it for 2 years 🥲

[@gabefields9072]

This is a great video but idk bout the best maybe u should watch luetin09 take on them to

[@MrKakemann1]

I am pretty sure I have seen this exact once before. It's a testament to how good it is, when I saw it a second upload. 👍

[@mykelengieza7057]

Nice way to end my night...thank you....again?

[@Matt-md5yt]

great lore

[@robertocarlosvillanuevaver9689]

Great Work all around. Its always nice to find everything in one place. My only, hopefully constructive, criticism would be that you did not put the name of Justicar Alaric for the Inspired quote near the end but thats it. Thanks for the Hard Work.

[@haresteven06]

So... Let me get this straight... On titan.. theres a vault of greater demons.. just sitting in necron poke balls... (Cultists heavy breathing intensifies)

[@Erebusdidnothingwrongish]

I haven't seen this one. What a great weekend :)

[@Titanscreaming]

Thank you for the vid, just brilliant.

[@caseypiper11]

I wanna see this chapter animated like the blood angels on wh+. From inception to recruitment to deployment would be awesome

[@GrayFirion]

Outstanding work! Where did you gather the Heraldry info? I'll honestly be going back to this video multiple times for that section alone while I painting my Knights. Thank you!

[@morgs456]

Very nice mate

[@tauras3108]

The first Grey Knights were already Astartes so they didn’t have the emperors genetic code. So when was that introduced. The first were a collection gathered by Malcador from all the legions.

[@mattjohnson2981]

During their time hiding in the warp toward the end of the horus heresy.

[@TARO7170]

The last part from the grey knights and you was my favorite part of the video

[@civilsecuritylite12054]

Praise the Holy Man-peror. His Remembrancer blesses us with knowledge once more.

[@ralffsmith2655]

Wonderful work 👏

I hope you do a video solely on Castellan Crowe at some point in the future

Thank you brother lore master!

"Always outmanned, yet never outmatched the scions of the Emperor shall never relent in their ceaseless purge of the unclean of the Universe. No matter the cost, no matter the odds, and no matter the danger. The Grey Knights shall continue their holy quest to destroy every last vestige of daemon influence across the stars." I found my chapter.

[@seanclark9891]

The Grey Knights: killing enough Imperial civilians to make a Greater Daemon of Khorne proud since M31. If you're a minion of chaos and want to clear a few systems of Imperial life, broadcast a daemonic incursion or summoning across civilian channels on local worlds. The Inquisition will probably show up with their lapdogs and wipe out the populations for you. Sarcasm aside, the GK are the most grimdark faction in 40k outside the Dark Eldar. There are numerous chapters and forces that fight daemons, and the GK are strong among them, but the the way they both treat their allies disdainfully and duplicitously, and treat imperial civilians as chattel makes it hard for me to consider them worth it. If I were Guilliman I'd be giving them constant side eye.

[@kharnthebetrayer1575]

As a GK player and DA …. It’s the Lion they have to worry about.

[@MIDencezzz]

i was just thinking on build my first army ever and starting with GK is this a signal?

[@littleman2226]

The Emperors Gift was just released on audible. Is it worth it? I need something more than bolter p0rn, so still not sure if i should buy it.

[@King-Aurelious]

Keep it up!

[@Sorrowscale]

The emperor protects my brothers !!!

[@raymundocruz2962]

I found warhammer 40k i love it brother's The Grey Knights are my favorite!!! We Are The Hammer !!

[@christiansmith9306]

I am embarrassed that I have been watching your videos for months and haven't subscribed yet. I have fixed that problem.

[@novataco5412]

I’m just doing my duty to watch again for the re-release o7

[@warewind]

I find it funny how they lost like 100 grey knight veterans against Angron and are like business as usual. I feel this would be crippling catastrophe for the grey knights specifically. Send in the billion recruits.

[@Alam_Eldin_Ali]

Am I haveing a Déjà vu?

[@TheRemembrancer]

The original version had problem with the visuals so the video needed to be rebuild to fix the issue

The Visuals animations were stuttering rather than being smooth so the entire transmission was very shakey

For the emperor and the algorithm!

That time even a Grey Knight bowed to Bjorn the Fell Handed.

[@matthewdukes3207]

The grey knights would love the doom slayer like khorne loves the orks

[@semicollin4517]

Is this a reupload? Feel like I watched this a couple days ago

[@inquisitorgarza312]

“We are the Hammer!” The Gray Knights are perhaps one of the most valuable warriors within the Imperium as they are by far the most effective Daemon Slayers, and even the Forces of Chaos fear these powerful warriors for they can bring a unending threat of the neverborn.

[@kc9602]

Inquisitor Waifu Vakir would've approved of this Elucidation. I Salute you, Remembrancer!

[@Megametalwolf]

Is the silver knight a grey shield from the hersey ?

[@kennethquinnies6023]

What else could you do with the over 1 million it takes to make just 1 grey knight?

[@drwgordon]

Would you consider uploading these as an audio only podcast?

[@trompell0]

Just listen and don't watch. Boom audio only.

And yes this was released the other day

"Rarest of all are red swords on a black field ... " NOT SO!!!! I have a green sword on a gold field, it stands for "Cutting the grass while it is hot". And as far as I know, that is the only one, on my armour!!! Thus, that would be the rarest one. :(

[@celestesoranno7702]

Whenever i remember i leave comments, press share etc. You need be picked up by the algorythm. Your way of explaining ist just peak to me you are on baldermorts level

Ah, Re upload. Cool. Glad I’m not crazy.

[@SpartanMikey]

I thought I’d listened to this while going to sleep 24 hours ago. Thought I’d imagined it… unless of course it was someone else…

[@jaymaxwell8645]

The emperor: religion is a backwards construct that ruins everything it touches. Also the emperor: let's number our demon hunters legion a number that only makes sense if you've read and believe this one ancient book.

[@ChaoticVoicesofAndreas]

So, a full watch again AND a comment? Say no more.

[@markcaimol599]

Noice.

[@briantalmage2041]

The Grey Knights give up there old name, old personality and humanity. They have no desire for glory or personal gain. Everything they do is for the Emperor and for humanity. This is the same for the Golden Gods the Costodes. "I know I misspelled there name sorry!" I feel like this is why they are near impossible to turn. The Astartes and even the Emperor's sons have a lot of pride and envy and all of the other emotions that the warp gods like to pray on and use to turn them against there Daddy Big E!

[@kayvaanmcsharrowkyn6901]

Bro I was just thinking about this, The Librarians of the gray Knights have to be insane sychar levels! I mean they're all siker's as it is they're all extremely powerful siker's they all have the emperor's Jean seed and a librarian is like an Uber sychar so if you take chapter that's already a bunch of uber siker's and then put them in holy armor with the emperor's psychic teens seed and then they're Librarians which means they're that much more in-depth with the warp? And some of these dudes the older ones were like knights-errant from the Thousand Sons so holy effing crap! I didn't think about that but then dudes like blow up some s*** with their heads! LOL

[@mikeylejan8849]

The Grey Knights are grey

[@4starseniormasterspecialist]

Lol imma summon a daemon and do some big boy !! Why's my daemon look like a space marine?? Oh sht. oh sht! oh sht!

[@blagojpejov4155]

The Grey Knights Do their duty of facing the forces of chaos and their demonic forces

[@danielfenton9742]

We are the hammer! We are the end!

[@kayvaanmcsharrowkyn6901]

I said it in a reply out another comment so I got to put it out in the main one how nasty is there Tech marine armor with the red in the silver contrast? And the helmet design with the red it just looks sinister! I just f****** love their color scheme! As a raven guard player I'm used to painting a lot of blacks and whites I also have Raptors and carcharodon's so I've done grey with the carcharodon but damn it I think I need to start a gray Knights Army just my God they're sick that freaking helmet design with the Terminator armor it's badass!

[@Somnolentias]

We really need a game like Dead By Daylight, but we play demons trying to survive a grey knight

The most of the WH40k beginners (Mostly!) start with UltraMarines or Regular Space Marines etc. and thinks that they are awesome 🤣

[@theHedgex1]

You say all that but what about the great knight that fell to slaneesh? Edit. The original writer is no longer with us.

[@andrewerikson]

Can anyone answer how old aspirants are when they go through the trials? Do they already have some of the gene seed implants or are they just regular humans meaning they are all around 10 when they have to walk on the surface of Titan.

[@jrr7031]

I dont get it. Is their geneseed completely based off the Emporers' genetic makeup? Does that mean they have their own gene-fathers progenoid glands removed? Also, aren't the Primachs themselves based off the Emporers genetic material? So.....i dont get it.

[@gotem123]

Hydra Dominatus!

[@patcowley6378]

Feeling wimpy listening to this... lol

[@nelsoncraigjr]

My only question is this The Grey Knights are supposed to be the best, apart from the Custodes and Primarchs. However, they were utterly embarrassed by the Space Wolves, with their Supreme Grandmaster being killed by Logan Grimnar. Can someone please better explain how this can be when the Grey Knights are without peer amongst the Astartes?

[@Mantaur104]

They are without peer when it comes to incorruptibility and battling demons. They can still be beaten to a pulp by other Space Marines.

[@cmdrblaster]

This is a reupload.

[@horatiobumbleton-smythe9427]

dude the grey knights are the military arm of the Ordo Malleus, They aint space marines, they are inquisitor tanks used to fight daemons. This channel is bollocks.
