The Grey Knight Omnibus by Ben Counter paints a really intriguing view. It isn't that they are strong individually, but rather they are insanely well educated on their enemies and with their psychic powers, represent a massive threat on the battlefield. Between their psycannons and their ability to syncronize to emit a massive blast of psychic energy...it really does make them formidable. In the first Grey Knight story for example, a Grey Knight learned the true name of one of Tzeentch's chosen and was able to use that to bind it.

[@Makorze]

They are also VERY in tune with there Wargear. Most space marines wear hand-me-down equipment. Aegis Armour usually has a grey knight eching on all the pyshic wards on the armour themselves. Thier nemesis force weapon also grows alongside them and each one is crafted to that Grey Knight's peference, if the Grey Knight dies, the weapon becomes inhert and cannot be used by another.

There's just no way Custodes won't struggle against those psykers or just get outright deleted by them. Psychic powers are op as hell and the most powerful of them would kick a Custodes ass in a 1v1. The Burning of Prospero had the Thousand Sons be subjected to brutal bombardment and not being able to effectively fight back. They then had to contend with the Sisters of Silence which nullify the warp which gave the Custodes a massive edge against the Thousands Sons who were themselves randomly turning into chaos spawns from overloading. And with all that stacked against the Thousands Sons they were still able to even the fight for a bit due to their powers.

Basically the Inquisition would have won or had a better chance if it was anyone but the Space Wolves or another founding chapter imo.

Custodies gene-seed was crafted by the emperor to be the best anyone could design but the Grey Knights gene-seed is made using the emperors gene-seed. Custodies know that the emperor made the grey knights to give his imperium a final defense against the terrors of the warp. They would fight if it was some real shit but their numbers and dedication to assignments would make it stupidly rare. More likely a custodies is protecting grey knights than ever fighting one. Logan Grimnar had his kingsguard with him. They were not your average space wolves that were able to kill Grey Knights. My understanding of their physicality is that space marines, like any large selection of people, can vary from 7 feet to 7.5 ft with a few extra tall in there. Custodies are supposed to be 9 feet tall unmovable statues. Grey knights are between the two at 8 to 8.5. There were rough approximations of this somewhere in their lore but not sure where. It’ll take two decades before the minis ever get updated. I have read about grey knights and primaris marines supposedly already being close in size but it’s unlikely this gets an official answer. I also think there are limits to the gear selections and are evenly matched there. They are pulling from the similar vaults of goodies. Little chance there is any drastic difference. Maybe some lean towards purpose but all relative.

[@Mithguar]

I found this on the subject: "Some Imperial scholars have suggested that, for the Space Marines, this is due to the psychically-infused nature of the Astartes gene-seed, which could render it lethal if implanted in a subject carrying the Pariah Gene. It is, however, possible for a Space Marine to be transformed into a Pariah after implantation, as is the case with the Ferrymen who serve the Grey Knights."

I think the space wolves only beat the Grey Knights because Logan Grimnar is a sleigh riding borderline Mary Sue, and maybe because the Wolves are strong against hostile psykers. In most other matchups I think the Grey Knights could be extremely powerful since they are essentially a full chapter of Librarians and on top of that most of them wear terminator armor. Just remember how strong the Thousand Sons were in the Great Crusade era. Shield spells, damage spells, seeing the future etc. I don't see how you could match them except by overwhelming numbers

[@explorer9692]

The wolves won the way they did because the writing itself was... Off to say the least, the way the gk were going about their battles were straight up bs, they basically fought like they werent really psykers, let alone very capable/powerful ones and trying to beat space wolves in a physical fights is just dumb, especially if you're a space marine, ESPECIALLY if you're a powerful psyker who doesn't even need to lmao

Agreed. And people always forget, it was only a portion if the Grey Knights' strength against ALL of the Space Wolves. Plus the Knights had just finished banishing Angron and lost nearly 100 warriors to do it.

Custodes & GKs within the same video? Dream come true.

[@kriddius]

The scene Majorkill is talking about cutting down a Grand Master is in the novel "The Emperor's Gift" and follows the first war of Armageddon and the Months of Shame that followed. In the scene, Logan and his Wolf Guard demand to know why civilians in hive cities across the continent from the warzone had to be sterilized if they never knew the war had even taken place. The Grand Master (forget his name at the moment) had promised only military personnel on the actual battlefield and who witnessed demons or his brotherhood would be terminated by necessity (something Logan hated but could understand) The Grand Master had then went on to arrange a complete sterilization of the civilian population anyway and had also organized the complete eradication of every military agent in the Armageddon system as a matter of course. Logan cut him down so swiftly that Hyperion explains he didn't even see him lift the axe to strike. One moment he stood snarling in anger and the next his boss was dead with Logan standing over him. In an effort to prevent the wolves leaving, the Grey Knights effectively blocked their teleport beacons from working by establishing a kind of blanket effect. Knowing his allies as well as his enemies, Logan called out for his Wolf Guard, who systematically and simultaneously shot every Justicar in the room dead, this unravelling their psychic net and allowing them to escape.

Hey major! Happy new year,keep being a boss!

[@zackerymorris8268]

You make watching lore videos actually entertaining. Others feel more like that boring math class you had in high school

[@heyho495]

Hey Majorkill, do you have a video or can you tell how you did the lighting for your shelf in the background? PS: where did you get the Dark Angels helmet? Asking for a friend... 😇

[@davidtodd2104]

Good job as always @Majorkill I wonder if you would consider a few longer form videos I’m the same vein as Bricky? The kind of thing people can react to or serve as a good introduction to the universe etc. Perhaps flex those video editing skills a little more? I.e. an every faction video… every Primarch video, every Space Marine Chapter video etc. I’d love to see that Majorkill spin on things as a video series or something. Regardless, I am a huge fan of your channel. You are killing it right now. Keep up the good work my guy!

[@pineapple4112]

I just read arjac rockfist novella and throw away line he puts his weight into the genevault door which only dreadnaught have moved until he moved it, without terminator armor,and then he shattered the axe morkai...this is just a wow feat of strength from regular marine no super cool armor

Happy New Year Majorkill! Looking forward to all the ‘special content’ the future holds 😏

[@miguelgaleana6956]

Ngl majorkill I was hesitant to learn about warhammer 40k since there so much lore and when I saw your vids they were to notch and now I'm glad I got into it

[@trimeerious4349]

It would be pretty cool to get a video about how each of the primarchs would of reacted to being in Guillimans position ,either only loyalists or all of them pre heresy.

[@damiencosta6471]

He says no custodian space marine fell to chaos now correct me if I’m wrong but when the emperor went to confront Horus didn’t the custodians with him, lose their minds to chaos or something like that? I don’t exactly remember

[@dollamoneyman4864]

Can you talk about what happened to the bodies of the dead Primarchs.

[@SamCM40K]

Yes and what happened to there souls.

[@starkill97]

I hope that tease was real would LOVE some majorkill minis to add to my grey knights army!

For this year we all need more Videos about the Orks!

[@bobbobertbobberton1073]

You have to also take into account 'will power' denying the witch is a real thing in the lore, if you have more will power than a psyker you can literally overcome their psychic powers, like when Ragnar grabbed the throat of the female inquisitor after she tried to hold him in place with her psychic powers.

[@explorer9692]

Yeah well good luck overcoming a lightning bolt or a bunch of metal getting thrown at your face lmao, it all depends on the psyker

Finally, I was just talking about this in the discord

[@ilikemushr00ms66]

Grey knights are just some hillbillies with a very powerful .45 and light saber singing country music to not get corrupted by the warp.

[@gwilym1991]

I always found the ultra-secrecy surrounding the Grey Knights the source of so much Grimderp. Literally every demon they banish will remember them and numerous heretics have escaped them, so what is the point of mind-wiping loyal astartes or murdering your allies to preserve a secret your enemies are already fully aware of.

To make the conflict with Grimnar even worse for the Grey Knights is the GK ships are warded against Chaos. So the Axe Of Morkai was severely weakened and was mostly just Grimnars strength that split the Grand Master.

[@lorddukealayeneclipse3317]

Year and a half. Here standeth a loyal fan. I don't think I'm going soon, you are hella entertaining and honestly help learn about the world of 40k.

[@salamilid3737]

"I don't really believe in new years resolutions since I like that you shouldn't wait for a date to change" that quote hits hard

[@justhereforthefood4925]

Still relatively new to 40k. Came for Weshammer stayed for Majorkill. Just finished the dark imperium trilogy. Loving every minute!

[@24fretsoffury]

Something I learned, being an AdMech fan, Malcador didn’t just put Titan in the pocket dimension, he also moved another moon alongside it to be the Grey Knights very own forge world, manned by Grey Knight TechMarines. That’s something most people don’t think about, Grey Knight Tech Marines. They have their own procedures for shoring up Machine spirits against daemons. I hope we get a novel about one, honestly.

[@PatrickWaddingham]

~10:20 So, making some space off-white warriors for your mini line??

[@rakisuzuki-burke4148]

The Grey Knights are specialized very powerful space marines, but as the Space Wolves have proven, they are still Space Marines.

[@martinknoll3270]

The New year starts with more Majorkill Videos, thank you so much, I fucking love your Videos!! Lets go to 600k

1 year later and you did all of that ! Proud of you buddy !

in watchers of the throne the custodes explains that where the custodes excel in singular combat the grey knights excel in team combat but in the battle the custodes intergrates into the grey knight team fight during the battle with equal effectivness

Been catching up on your videos First time I've seen you mention jujitsu. Just won my first competition. 2 gold 1 silver. Happy to see your kicking some ass as well

[@AxolotlInMC]

I still don't believe the "Emperors' gene-seed" thing.

[@m4r00123]

Slight correction: without the truce ending months of shame it's fairly possible that there would not be any Grey Knights to speak of

[@tomas9609]

IIt's more likely Fenris would be totally destroyed. In battle against space wolves were only small fragment of Grey Knights Chapter and there were no risk rest of them would be killed

[@m4r00123]

@@tomas9609 well yes. But think what comes next. Adeptus Astartes would not suffer something like this go unnoticed and unpunished. First founding Chapter punished for not letting the inquisition kill a world they just rescued? I believe that would piss off every space marine there is so much it would set the inquisition on path to extinction
