Broseph the problem with the AI generated pictures is that they are inaccurate. They do not show the correct context .

[@telmosilva9161]

I had totally forgotten these guys. Looks like I'll be cannibalizing some scions and 90's marine parts for my next diorama. Only 300 to go to 11k, the army keeps growing.

[@TheLostPrimarch]

Yes indeed, even sky isn't a limit

[@stoissdk]

They remind me of the child recruits in the 1998 movie "Soldier".

[@MrSoresu]

I included one of the Lucifer Blacks in an Only War campaign I am running. And my players (And their characters) had no idea who the Lucifer Blacks were. So I explained a bit about them, linked them to this video, and had an NPC I'd fashioned just to tell my players WHO these guys are. The players themselves were surprised. Their characters were justifiably nervous. Had to show the Lucifer Blacks some love.

[@TheLostPrimarch]

NICE ONE!

So basically a regiment of Avery Johnsons? SIGN ME UP!!!!

[@NemFX]

The only guardsman who ever landed a blow on a primarch in melee. A glancing blow that just scraped the paint on his armour, but still. (hydra dominatus)

[@TheLostPrimarch]

Legend

[@V.B.Squire]

I still think Alpharius let him have that one but out of respect for him, so Primarch is still a demigod and the Lucifer is still a badass that earned his respect.

[@alexandremenard3833]

In my souvenir, he actually got through the armor and hurt the primarch. It's just not enough to wound a primarch, so it did nothing and alpharius then cleaved him.

[@aaroncarney7733]

My head cannon: Lucifer Blacks are those which didn't make the cut for being a Custodian.

[@TheLostPrimarch]

Oh I like this one

[@Briselance]

They didn't make the cut for Custodian transformation... yet they are in the top three of unaugmented elite forces???

[@001ventura]

A Book about a Lucifer Black sent by the Guiliman on a mission to confirm a rumour of a possible sight of one of is brothers would be awsome. After all, what better (and deeply loyal) operative then a guy that looks like a regular human (but is in fact an OP human guardian soldier on Terra) and not giant transhuman, or freak assassin, or a an Inquisition agent that has more hidden agendas then even he himself can remember.🧐

[@razorbackstudiosartchannel2941]

Did I miss read that the Lucifer's were the proto commissar of the astral militarum. So op and loyal they weeded out cowardice and unloyal troops.

[@TheLostPrimarch]

I think you are right on this one

[@guiltylucas]

I love these guys know about them for about a decade and i always watch new videos on the lucifier blacks just hoping for a tidbit more lore on them. My favorite AM regiment is the Solar Aux.

[@Gopher286]

This video just sold me on Lucifer blacks. I wanna make a Killteam out of them! Kitbash some veteran guardsman with tempestus scions, drukhari reaver helmets or the Votann AI heads. I’m gonna make them as eerie as this video was!

[@izzymosley1970]

Here's a fun hypothetical I thought of as a strategy to imperium of a man could use. And that would be to continuously upgrade the training of imperial guard regiments by gathering and analyzing data about what training regiments have the best results on the guardsman and continuously improve the training regiment of these guardsman to make an ever-evolving imperial guard regiment.

[@dimagoloborodko6106_va]

I think that it would be impossible to make so many super elite guardsmen at mass, most guardsmen are already best of the best and have good equipment compared to the planetary defense forces of their worlds, the overall cost is one of the reasons imperium makes only small amounts of tempestus scions/other shock troopers

[@dimagoloborodko6106_va]

Also the training for the tempestus scions and other stormtroopers is already super intense and expensive and during it a lot of possible recruits die due to the sheer intensity and difficulty of the training

[@unclesam5230]

The problem is the sheer logistics of that operation

[@izzymosley1970]

@@unclesam5230 I think this problem could be overcome by the imperium because it basically has infinite people and people with basically infinite authority as well as some people who are smarter than anyone in the real world. I think this plan could be pulled off by a motivated enough Inquisitor.

[@arbiterally101]

Am I the only person absolutely frustrated by the image at around 2:40 ? For a bunch of badasses, it sure looks like they've got the receivers on that gun backwards because the frickin' magazine is where the handguard should be, an vice versa! Also it looks to be backwards too. That aside, the Lucifer Black were a scary unit, and I actually quite like that they're almost viewable as the pinnacle of what a "normal" human is capable of. While the Imperium is often visible from the Space Marines, Primaris, Primarchs and Custodes, all the way up to the Emperor these are all superhumans. They've lost their core human being in the process to create the most perfected killing machine, while the LB are still mostly normal guys. Shaped and molded into the most elite troops possible, but still humans.

[@V.B.Squire]

A whole Regiment of John Wick Clones, 5:50 Alpharius let him have that one out of respect but still badass

[@wilhelm8003]

I've always suspected that the Lucifer Blacks were one of the successors of the Solar Auxilia, as their equipment seemed more advanced than the average Imperial Guard

[@alexhulea2735]

In all honesty, after the war of the beast, the Captain-General of the Custodes needed to force some fuckin changes to the High Lords. The wsr went so bad because those chuckleheads couldn't work together when the fate of the whole human race was at stake😢 Not to mention it should have been obvious that Vangorich was planning something nefarious when the unbribable Lucifers were removed as guards

[@TheLostPrimarch]

Yes, but once again they were too stupid to realize it

Love this regiment, tier one operators in the grand scale of 40k is a huge feat. Harkoni warhawks, Athonian tunnel rats, Drookian fenguard and Mordant acid doogs are my all time favourites, all inspired my lifelong guard army:D Excited for guard week, thank you so much x

[@izzymosley1970]

Who do you think is stronger a member of the Lucifer blacks or a member of the sisters of battle? assuming they're both average members.

[@TheLostPrimarch]

Sisters of Battle have power armor, but I think Lucifer Blacks would get an upper hand anyway, power weapons really don't care that much of what type of armor you wear, it will penetrate it anyway

[@537zun4]

Since one is special human forces and the other is the whole spectrum of an army if you let one of each chosen randomly would have to fight, I would even if it breaks my heart allways bet bottom wins against above

[@TherealSBlair]

Great. Just what the imperium needs. More scary bastards.

[@TheLostPrimarch]

Cant have enough of them

[@MacroLore]

I think "most elite" is a slight stretch. Currently I'd say that Kazarkin, or Catachan would be the "most elite" in the modern age. but during the age of the heresy there is no question, they were #1 Kazarkin due to HEAVY augments which may disqualify them as baseline imperial guard. And Catachan since on tabletop they deal the same damage as a space marine for a tenth of the points.

[@TheLostPrimarch]

Exactly that is why I didn't talk about them

[@stefankastler2291]

How many Lucius Black are there in M41 and how many of those are assigned to guarding the Imperial Palace?

[@Vantud391]

Can they be the equivalent of StarCraft's Ghost?

[@TheLostPrimarch]

I think Vindicare assasins are

[@Thaddios]

Really bold of you to use the AI art where the AI put a stanag mag instead of a pistol grip and and an under barrel buttstock instead of a foregrip. Edit: The more I look at that picture the more cursed it is. 2:20 the CC is trying to say it isn't AI, can someone else take a look and thumbs up if it is?

[@TheLostPrimarch]

Which one? I'm confused, i try to avoid AI Edit: I went over the video - there is no AI there...

[@Thaddios]

@@TheLostPrimarch 2:20 is either AI or the trolliest artist I have ever seen.

@@TheLostPrimarch The guy in the centers gun has: A magazine for a pistol grip, inserted into a magazine well with the trigger placed before it, a buttstock for a fore grip, two front post iron sights, no rear sights, two muzzels, the ejection port is placed far too forward, did Bethesda do this art?

[@fachrezaekakurnia9974]

So what's the reason you remake the video about Lucifer black?

[@TheLostPrimarch]

Because I want the new viewers to see them too, youtube does disfavor to the old videos, and since this is literally my favorite regiment, then I think I have all the rights to do so. I have had so many times when people ask me to make a video about topics on which I already have done it, and I have come to understand that youtube just does not recommend old videos as it should, and it really sucks because I do not get exposure to some old yet really interesting topics. So... once in a while I will rerecord some older video if I deem it worthy. I don't feel like I should explain my every action, but I think this gives reasonable justification.

​@@TheLostPrimarch Oh yeah i noticed that too😮, is it because different color are different chosen topic (because it was choose by your patron) or you differentiate color because of the topic at hand (guard,space marine,chaos ect) or it's differentiate it is your own video because you want to cover or this is patron votes?
