And he literally has no friends because anyone else would be corrupted by it. He has to carry it around on his own so he doesn’t turn the rest of the imperium to chaos… THATS THE START OF HIS STORY.

They do have an anti tyranid force it's called the Deathwatch, all things Xeno are subject to Deathwatch investigation and extermination as they actually bother to learn and even adapt xeno weapons to kill them more efficiently.

[@jasonricks1953]

I'd love to see a video on the Deathwatch, one of my favorite factions.

[@perteraboofolympus150]

and the death watch is comprised of the most zealous xenos hating spacemarines to ever grace the galaxy, probably why a large portion of them are either Dark Angels or Black Templars

[@AGenericFool]

Yeah but thats self contradictory and shows the first statement is nto true and indeed what was said in the video is true. There is no anti tyranid force. Yes there is the deathwatch and we will ignroe that the deathwatch are no match for the greyknigths since they deathwatch are a WAY smaller force than the non-code-compliant grey knigths and a single greyknight could kill countless deathwatch. There still is still the original totally being missed. The greyknigths are an anti chaos force because that is all they do, all they train for, all the focus on, all they get deployed for etc.pp. The Deathwatch is by definition not an anti-tyranid force, just like the ordo xenos itself etc. is not, because they are ot singularly focused on tyranids. They are focused on the xeno, not just tyranids and there is countless thousands of totally unrelated species of xeno, probably more. A great example how they are not an anti-tyranid force is their engagement with the octavius war, where mainly orcs figh vs tyranids, but also eldar and dark eldar and other factions. They did not solely focus on the tyranids, they did the opposite, they fought literally everything there. Which is the opposite of what grey knigths owuld do fi they showed up there and saw some chaos, because they would COMPLETELY ignore everyone and everything if it would not somehow help them defeat chaos locally. xoxo

[@jeyeldc4423]

Deathwatch is to xenos as grey knights is to daemons

[@thebighurt2495]

I gatdam love the Deathwatch. They're the single coolest group of Space Marines there is. There are so many things about them I love that it couldn't fit into a reasonably-sized comment. Highlights include: - Their starting lineup was comprised of Traitor Legion loyalists (something they share with the GK) - Their members are taken from chapters across the Imperium (though I forget if they're volunteers or a tithe system) - They're the single most practical, pragmatic SMs in the Imperium Their induction process begins with strapping the new member into a VR system where they're forced to watch their chapter get slaughtered *specifically* because of that chapter's hangups, *repeatedly* until the point is made. To repeat, they PURGE SMs of their Chapter's flaws. Black Templars learn to be snipers. Raven Guard learn CQB. Space Wolves learn patience. Blood Angels learn to take cover. They learn everything there is to know about 'Nids, Orks, Eldar, Tau, Hrud and every Xeno the Imperium knows about. They're as monstrously effective against Xenos as the GK are against Daemons. They become flawless, omniskilled generalists capable of doing any job competently and *still* retaining their strengths. I love Deathwatch.

The grey knights are so awesome to me because they all give off Gandalf vibes. They consistently just fight actual massive demons 12 times their size with their normal sized swords and staffs.

One of my favorite parts of the Grey Knight video game, is that this Ordo Malleus Inquisitor comes aboard the ship and they make a video call to the Grandmaster of the Swordbearers brotherhood, and the Grandmaster literally hangs up on the Inquisitor because she commanded him to do something.

to be fair, the inquisition isn't one big unified entity. The inquisitor wasn't sure the grey knights existed before she met them and her demanding he send more forces was, although 100% a thing she was allowed to do, a slight breach of etiquette. The only reason the chapter master even let her call was because other grey knights vouched the mission was important

[@drakeyork241]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1490">24:50</a> Here is something. there is actually one instance in which a grey knight was corrupted by chaos. The bastard had charged into the warp alone and vowed that if he ever returned then Slaanesh would be dead. he had made it into Slaanesh's realm of infinite temptations where any indulgence you can think of lies actively beckoning you to take it with entire worlds that perfectly cater to your every desire in a way that you would actually believe you had achieved it yourself. The bastard then proceeded to make his way through, ignoring every temptation and made his way to the palace of Slaanesh in which more temptations lied waiting. he went through until he found Slaanesh her/him/it self. He made an attempt to kill Slaanesh there and then. lets just talk about this real quick though, most would go insane an pledge eternal fealty at just the sight of a direct image of Slaanesh and yet we have this bastard who is so completely filled with righteous fury that he ignores that and goes for an attempt to kill anyways whilst being in her direct presence. After that we hit the singular moment that sealed his fate. Slaanesh had made an active movement and had transformed into the perfect picture of an innocent child. Think of the most innocent child you have ever seen, set that on the dial to be considered a 1, now turn the dial up to 12. Now as you would suspect from that mental image, the grey knight hesitated for half a second before attempting to continue his swing, but in that moment Slaanesh applied a directed presence at him that only managed to infiltrate his mind due to his momentary distraction. just before his blade cleaved of the child's head, he knelt down and swore eternal fealty as her knight. It took the chaos god that most heavily specializes in corruption actually being present and applying a not insignificant amount of active effort to corrupt a grey knight. shall I point out that Khorne merely standing up from his throne allowed his PROXY to cut a PLANET IN HALF WITH ONE SWING. So unless a grey knight finds themself face to face with Slaanesh out of all chaos gods after having to face every trial she has to throw at them to whittle away at their will, they are, for all intents and purposes incorruptible.

[@bjarnereniers]

There is a single grey knight that was corrupted by chaos. His mission was a little bit TOO ambitious and his failing is still pretty cool. They sent a grey knight to END Slan'esh. The fact that they thought he just MIGHT succeed says a ton. There was a possibility. They sent a grey knight to battle a Chaos god and thought it was a longshot but it was worth the risk.

I'd love if the Tyrannids that are getting all demon-fed and evolving from Chaos end up within the purview of the Grey Knights just to get to see even a small offshoot of them fight the Nids. It would make sense that Nids taking on more and more Chaos traits might eventually lead to them falling under what Grey Knights are supposed to handle. Just getting enough Chaos traits and features that its basically just Chaos bugs.

For the squad of Grey Knights,let me correct it. It was not a squad of Grey Knights but rather a squad of Deathwing Terminators. *The best of the Dark Angel’s best*. And they fought a Dark Cells Warden Custodes (basically WH40k’s pocket version of the SCP foundation) and struggled *Immensely* The Warden cut through those Elite Deathwing terminators like butter,killing like 3-5 of them iirc,and they only won because the Librarian they had with them was *basically killing himself* with the amount of exertion he was committing to his warp spells to restrain the Custodes,just for a few seconds,in order to let another terminator let a missle fly and hit the banana boy. I can’t remember if they actually killed the Custodes or not but that’s basically how strong Custodes are. This was when the Dark Angels picked up a trace of Cypher’s location in the Dark Cells in the Imperial Palace,and sent unmarked Deathwing Terminators to try and get him. They damn near all died to that Warden and most likely would’ve if they hadn’t had that Librarian since Custodes only really have one weakness and it’s *extremely* strong psykers,which is why they have Sisters of Silence with them to negate any strong psykers. Reg psykers would probably just implode trying to stop a banana boy,and even one of the best Librarians the Deathwing had,damn near failed to keep the Custodes still.

One thing you missed that I think is hella cool: upon officially becoming a Grey Knight, each man is given a name that is _literally anathema_ to a particular demon. Like if you named a Knight Michael, his very name would be painful and repelling to a demon named Satan. Names and words have power, as you said about the words of banishment; so in a way, every single knight becomes the dedicated antithesis to a particular demon. So damn cool.

Key points missed or wrong: 1. Grey Knight have demon possessed weapons 2. The Terminus Decree is to destroy Terra using the golden throne rather than let it fall to chaos 3. Grey Knights actually take the inverse of a demon's true name so that they are ideally optimized to fight them. 4. A Grey Knight can absolutely beat a custodes in combat, but it depends on which custodes and which grey knight. Psykers are OP and there are psychic powers that would simply delete custodes

[@Alastair_]

Uh.... 1 - yes 2 - We don't know, lot's of fanfiction, but no concrete lore as far as I'm aware 3 - not really, they get giving new names when doing great deeds, these are added to their current name and inscribed into their armour. The longer the name, the more difficult it is for a demon to have power over them. 4 - Absolutely not. Custodians go through Space Marines like butter and Grey Knights are NOT any better than normal Space Marines, they just get fancier gear and have some powers. They are hard counter to Demons and warp based enemies, they would get killed in seconds when fighting Custodians.

Canonically the reason the ultramarines almost always win is because orks believe blue is supernaturally lucky which is hilarious Also can you please do a video dedicated to Sanguinius like please show the golden hawk boy some love.

Finally a podcast for warhammer that isn't just throwing random lore without context at you and nice somber voices to explain. Subscribe well earned

Malcolm X being quoted in Warhammer discussion is something I did not expect and it's one of the reasons for falling in love with this channel. These dudes are awesome!

I don’t know much about warhammer (yet), but I’d listen to these two talk about it all day.

[@dressednplaid4875]

Isander you do such a great job encapsulating all of the fun and fascinating things about this hobby. Thanks for helping me remember why I got into this in the first place. Fun!

Just some context on which planet this refers too that the recruits for the Grey Knights were added, it was the moon Titan. Macaldor had turned around and took the whole moon of Titan, threw it into the warp with some strange stasis effect that essentially sped up time for Titan about 1,000 years, which gave the Grey Knights the ability to train, learn, and become absolute beasts in the blink of an eye in real space. The Grey Knights learned as much as they could for their psyker abilities and also learning true names of daemons, and so much more over a thousand years within 10 minutes of real time. Once they were up to par, Malcador brought Titan back into real space and the Grey Knights ended up putting foot to ass right after the heresy. There is also a Grey Knight known as Epimetheus who use to be a Dark Angel, after a bit of time, on the death world Pythos, there had been something called the Emerald Cache that kept a greater daemon of Nurgle in it. Well after they sealed it, Epimetheus was left there to watch over it. It was about 10k years later that someone tried fucking with it and Epimetheus had put himself into the suspended animation state. Pandorax is the name of the book, it's really good.

it super neato to see how much more your following went up since you started talking about 40k isyander, you found your niche and we love ya for nerding out on it.

What Big E didn't realize is that the Chaos Gods don't need worship. He actually killed (most) human gods, depriving humanity of a natural defense against Chaos.

[@thelegendarypotatoman6188]

Glad y'all covered grey knights so well luetin09 was the first one who told me about grey knights and now I have 4 and a half thousand pts of them.

The bolter projectiles are self-propelled, sort of mini-rockets. There is a very small explosive charge to get the "bolt" out of the barrel, afer leaving it the solid-fuel rocket propellant is ignited. Oh and not only does it come with a hardenend diamantine (some sort of composite ceramic) tip and a dense metallic core for improved armor penetration. It also has a explosive charge with a split-second delay impact timer so the charge detonates after penetrating the armor

Grey knight horror game needs to be, the first half of the gamr ur a regular gaurdsmen, and youre trying to escape a lesser deamon, but you eventually die, then you takeover the deamons body and you start finding more of your deamon buddies ripped to shreds and shit, and youre using clues to figure out what is doing this, then a grey knight finally starts slowly hiding in the background of every area, and they slowly get closer and closer every new level area, and eventually they srart messing with you and hunting you quietly

[@bjarnereniers]

That would be wild to play co-op with

[@saltylemon4436]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1270">21:10</a> Keep in mind too they did this to fight Khorne daemons. They used blood, to bless their weapons and armor, against the blood god, because that makes sense.

[@josephference6996]

I learned more about Warhammer 40k in my first video I’ve watched from you guys that All of the dozens and dozens of videos I have watched from other sites.

[@dragonridgestudios9323]

FIRST MINUTE GANG LETS GOOOOO I was hoping you'd do one on the Grey Knights :D

[@nou4479]

They snapped into that Sister of battle like Slim Jim.

[@thefuzziestmonkie1515]

Morning coffee and Isyander & Koda. Very pleasent.

[@jessec7499]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2420">40:20</a> the story your referring to is the months of shame wich pitted the space wolves against the inquisition

[@Badgerman494]

Apologies boys, but at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1156">19:16</a> you said a Grey knight would summon a deamon to fight a deamon. That's Rogue inquisitors that do that, and the Grey Knights won't work with them, and have been known to attack them on sight.

[@oresama3281]

You guys are doing great, nice long epps and targeted. Finished all of luetin and but can never go wrong with another channel :) had a great laugh on one of your other videos about the *REDACTED* where you just dont look it up as its horrible even for 40k. If you know you know :O -"Compassion is reserved for servants of the Emperor: aliens deserve only our scorn."
