A Vid about the Space Marines who unofficially Retired and are now living a somewhat peaceful life would be great. Like the Blank Greyknight in their Catacombs, the Ultramarine who was injured and is now overseeing the farming on an agri world or the Terminator who lost his memory and landed on a feudal world and became one with the people.

[@kellytownsend8580]

That ultramarine dies at the end of that story taking down a tyranid thaf was hounding that farm community. Its my favorite oldhammer story because its so much more localized and low stakes than all the other stuff. Like dude hasnt worn or touched his armor in years, but when the village people come to him for help protecting themselves, he dutifully dons his armor one final time and dies tackling the tyranid off a cliff or something like that

[@trajanfidelis]

They're the exceptions not the rule. Space marines don't retire

[@koolunit]

Lol would be a short video. I fear space marine retiring plans are basically: -the coffinbound insanity package (aka become a dreadnought, where you resume work to escape retirement) - get stuck on your chapterworld/ship/station training scouts or guarding relics/geneseed etc (only one that eems kinda nice...but you could always die horribly anyway) - the 'Dante' package. Never retire, get old, yearn for death and have some warpmumbojumbo/your Angelic dad, tell you 'nope, you gotta keep working son'. Arguably, this one is even available to primarchs!

[@HienNguyen-cs1md]

@@koolunit one of the things that I think makes sense is that war is their entire purpose, especially with the primaris space marines. You spend millennia just war after war with no other passion or hobby or anything. If I remember correctly the Tau said Space Marines are not human, they are tools of war. Though I have seen stories about Space Marines doing arts and reading and such.

[@koolunit]

@@HienNguyen-cs1md agreed, I remember that a Dorn and several marines (of various Legions) in the HH novels express that exact sentiment. Astartes are not humans anymore, but tools for a purpose. That purpose, ofcourse, is war. Still astartes living for millenia is rare outside of cawls 1st batch, chaos marines and some rare exceptions. War takes em all!

[@grouplelakibersekutu]

Apothecaries should absolutely be beasts on the battlefield. Not only because they have crazy robot arms that can throw you around but also they have the medical knowledge to know how to hurt you in the best way.

[@kellytownsend8580]

For real, most apothecary centered stories dont show them kicking ass that much, except for like Vitrian Messinius in the Dawn of Fire series. I wanna see an Apothecary that is like a specialized badass at taking apart traitor space marines. Like the dide should have specialized serums and stuff that are intended to kill Plague Marines, Sedative based weapons that are meant to take down World Eater berzerkers and Emperors Children degenerates by numbing all their sense, etc etc. Seems like a missed opportunity for GW to make an Apothecary / Assassin that specializes in taking down Traitor Marines

[@ЯрОк-и2й]

Would he still be locked away for the second time like in canon? Unlikely. Will he be kept a secret or revealed to the public? How would the Imperium react? How would Custodes react? If he is still around then how would Gulliman react to a brother that shares his burden but one he never knew? Since his memories have been erased would he believe the Angel to be one of the lost Primarchs? How would the other factions react? Specifically Chaos. Would the Blood Angels see him as Sanguineous reborn? Would he be willing to play into that? Would he be willing to take the Lamenters under his wings after all they've been through?

[@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?

The Judicier is a chaplain in training. They take an oath silence until they become fully-fledged Chaplain and fufill their 'executioner' roll by seeking and killing enemy champions so that they may first live in their litanies and oaths before they can speek them.

[@foldedrose3504]

Now do Chaos Marine Specialists! I've always found it weird that CSM doesn't have an apothecary model. Chaplain could be Dark Apostles (?), Librarians could be Sorcerers, Tech Marines could be Warpsmiths, but we only have Fabius Bile as an apothecary - at least in model form. From reading the Fabius books, there seem to be a decent amount out there. Mainly rallied under Fabius, but it mentions tons from other legions.

[@ChaitanyaSharma-w5f]

Nice video brother. I have a suggestion for you. What if loyalist Horus returned to the current setting? After all he has done, Horus tries to redeem himself and tries to help the imperium as much as possible. How would the Imperium react? How would loyalist and traitor primarchs react to such sudden shift of events? How would the Emperor and the chaos gods react? It will make a pretty interesting story.

[@nicholasmatthew9687]

Blows my mind that MajorKill is still able to create successful content and it be completely worth his time. 40k community is far superior to any other IP community.

[@lokiopensloloc5680]

Well, one thing to add is that executioners do not need a pointed end because they weren't required to fight. In future videos you could exceed your competition by alluding to the real-world inspiration, if any, for a 40k weapon, such as the executioner blade. Once you know its inspiration you have newfound respect.

[@kennycai8695]

This is just my speculation, but here are my guesses for how specialist Marines are recruited. Apothecary - You need not only above average intelligence to study medicine, but also stay calm even in the most stress-filled environments, especially with the job of euthanizing your own brother in the Chapter to extract his gene-seed. Techmarine - Aptitude in machinery is the obvious one, but on a personal level, you also have to be mentally strong enough to feel alone, cause your dual allegiance to the Mechanicus means some of your battle brothers will never trust you. Your career prospects are minimal too, forever relegated to the armory and the highest you can go is Master of the Forge. Librarian - No psychic powers, no dice. You also need a very strong mental fortitude, not just to keep your powers in check, but also accept that you may not be accepted by your battle brothers, especially chapters with more puritan beliefs. Chaplain - Besides the mental fortitude to resist the temptations of the Ruinous Powers, you also need some degree of popularity (Asmodai is the exception), especially since Chaplains are the ones a Marine will turn to for spiritual guidance. You also have to be proficient in melee combat, since your brothers will turn to you as an exemplar of the Emperor's will, and nothing projects that more than fighting in glorious melee combat.

Interestingly old dwarven rune magic was anathema to chaos. So Spacewolf magic is more safe and les heretical than even the emperors power because his source is the warp and so cannot be widely wielded whereas a rune axe can kill a lesser demon simply by being near it unwielded if the axe is sufficiently powerful. Oh and I thought some chaplains were already executioners? Or at least they have been the ones that decide the fate of brothers who have been exposed to chaos, sort of a legion inquisitor of their own right. Perhaps this was just particular chapters, the Grey knights or Black Templars, I seem to remember it was in one of these chapters books.

[@Paulmevil]

40k theory : What if the reason Cegorach, the Aeldari Laughing God interfered in where the Khan and Fulgrim landed isn't because so that the Khan remained loyal, but so that Fulgrim became traitor, which may end up to another theory where Fulgrim would get his hands on the Cronesword as the Cronesword can be assumed as one of the best swords ever, meaning Fulgrim would very much want to get his hands on it. (Imo IF the Khan still went to Chemos anyways, he would probably still have been loyalist as imo one of the Khan's traits from the Emperor is logic, while Fulgrim lands in Chogoris, where he would be raised by the Khan, who may end up teaching him to be humble.) (Sorry if the theory doesn't seem to solid as this is just a shower thought.(
