Im a massive fan Mjorkill! Your videos are such an amazing way to let old and new warhammer fans take in lore at a really optimized pace. I hope this doesn’t come across as rude, but I just wanted to give my thoughts on some of the recent video editing. I personally have been finding the light bar at the bottom of your set is creating a lighting affect thats quite often drawing my attention to the outside of the frame rather then yourself , and your excellent expression and body language. Again , I hope this doesn’t come across as rude , just wanted to give my thoughts as a longtime fan. Keep on kicking ass!

[@sunvro8341]

can you do a video on the dreadwing? i just started getting into minis and i’ve chosen dark angels as my starting army. the dreadwing sound super sick

Came in for the First Legion's Terminator lore, stayed in for middle aged man's existential angst. Thanks (?!) Majorkill!

I've got this old art of a Deathwing assault. It's in space on an asteroid and it is nothing but Terminators. So cool. It really illustrates the sheer power of the Deathwing.

[@cyberware5323]

Nah, that sounds more like Dreadwing. Dreadwing has toys directly given by the Emperor. Other Chapters would consider some of those tools heretic. Only the dark vaults inside the imperial palace contain more horrifying weapons.

[@SebsterGefunden]

I actually do like the newer lore better. I mean, there were several Tactical Dreadnought Armour left on a planet, didn't anybody think about checking on them for (IIRC) a couple of hundred years, when you don't hear about their whereabouts? They were supposed to gather recruits also, no?

[@missengoula-ezeemmanuel867]

MK referenced the origin of the complete bone white color in his vid, source is an older book called "Deathwing" (and that was the name of the thunder hawk the DA landed on their home world, not the first company btw).

[@fadelsukoco3092]

Here are some ideas for consideration: What if every Astartes Legion staged a coup on the Emperor and took over the Imperium? How would they rule it and how successful would it be, compared to the canon Imperium? (this is all legions on the same side with minimal Chaos influence on events) What if 2 Primarchs held the Warmaster position cooperatively, under the assumption that those who would take issue at one Warmaster would respect the other one more and they could thus overall be more productive? Which nonhuman species would be the best fit for Chaos to take over and attain galactic dominance? If any one Loyalist and Traitor Primarch switched sides for the Horus Heresy, who would you choose for the best outcome for either the Loyalists, or the Traitors? What if the Silent King never got rid of his Command Protocols and took (almost) all the Necrons with him out of the galaxy to perhaps find a new and better one and come across the Tyranids? What if the Great Crusade had all the Primarchs and none turned Traitor, but there were no Astartes? What if the Beast Orks succeeded in defeating the Imperium? What if the Raptor Project succeeded/was never sabotaged? How would each Heresy/Crusade-era Primarch and Legion fare against the modern Tau Empire? What if one of the Primarchs landed on a xenos world and was raised by them? What if the Eldar managed to kill Angron before he was enslaved? What if another power rose to power during M31 instead of the Imperium, such as the Ullanor Orks, the Rangdan, or the Necrons via the Silent King returning early? What if the Beast Orks grew to threaten the Imperium before the Heresy could happen? What if the Tyranids arrived in M31, before the Heresy could happen? What if all of the Perpetuals stayed loyal to the Emperor and led the Great Crusade?

[@danielmouatt5570]

Honorable mention in the list of notable Deathwing characters. In the event that saw them paint all their armour white, while investigating what happened to the recruitment world the Librarian used his powers to make people see him as baseline human and walked into a population centre to investigate. He finally found a beggar who warned him of monsters only to have the Magus turn up and tell him “we could have told you all of this and saved time” Cue being hunted, killing the Magus, hybrids and pure strain until being crippled and dragged to the Patriarch which proceeded to link minds to discover the Librarians secrets. Recognising that he was close to death and too exhausted to keep the Patriarch out of his mind he opened it completely, letting the creature into the deepest parts of his psyche and while it was digesting this wealth oof information….. died his own mind locked in a death grip with the creature ensuring that it died with him. This by the way is how the rest of the Deathwing present were able to survive and purge the Genestealers. They hit while the brood was reeling from the the death of both Patriarch and Magus.
