The Lamenters Experience (Late 10k Subscriber Special)

[@mj91212]

All them space marine chapters that try to stand out by being the most brutal, the most ruthless, the most honorable, etc, all fall by the wayside, completely interchangeable. But the Lamenters, and the Salamanders, ACTUALLY manage to stand out by being the (relatively) kindest chapters, by being the only chapters who put their love for humanity before their hatred for everything else.

[@CataStudies]

It helps both chapters have fairly unique characteristic going for them, with the Salamanders being pyromaniacs and the Lamenters being EXTRA cursed.

Just remember that far more successful, well funded and well respected Astartes chapter have betrayed the Imperium and fallen to Chaos for far less. The Lamenters have successfully resisted every attempt to corrupt them that Chaos has thrown at them. While lesser chapters were seduced by promises of power and pleasure, or even the ending of chronic pain, not even endlessly grinding the Lamenters to extinction multiple times over has Chaos been able to break their resolve. Any other Astartes chapter would have fallen a long time ago if they had been subject to even half of what the Lamenters have faced. When the universe demands nihilism, the Lamenters have chosen hope, even with all the pain hope carries with it.

Now, I will say that I was going to have had some rather non canon things happen, one of which was that a few of the primarchs ended up having children, through various means. And the long and short of Sanguinius' kids if that he has a older pair of twins and a younger daughter, and the Lamenters are allowed to basically be the bodyguards of the older son. I was thinking about maybe having the Lamenters' end be more bittersweet than outright tragic, with them helping in their small way during the Siege of Terra, but sadly, becasue they helped change such major events in the past, they start to dissolve into energy or something like that, and they thank both Sanguinius and his son for helping them to finally feel worthy of being sons of Sanguinius and that they can finally rest in peace. It's not that they're forgotten or anything, just that I thought that it would be a somewhat fitting ending that the Lamenters deserve. But they don't simply fade a way.

Honestly, for a chapter of absolute Heroes like this, Slaughterhouse III would be the biggest stain in their history

[@chubbyninja89]

It's not a stain, they tried their best, but just didn't have enough to work with.

[@Edo_Ginting]

@@chubbyninja89 The other chapters would agree, but the Lamenters themselves wouldn't take it that way, hence them refusing the gift.

I just noticed on my third watch as we follow this lamenter, he starts getting studs on his head to signify his service. Really nice touch.

[@gabrielbjornursidae]

400 years of bullshit he went through. And it was 400 years well spent. Doing what Papa Sang wanted.

[@doctorscientist7570]

I like when the lamenters opted out of Dante's call to all blood angels successor chapters to safeguard Baal against hivefleet Leviathan. They probably got flak and snide comments from the other chapters about it, but it was to ensure the battle didn't go awry on account of their supernaturally bad luck. And considering how the devastation of baal went without them, it's a good thing they opted out. The blood angels almost went extinct and a LOT of successor chapters did go extinct.

[@langleysenterprise5134]

No they had to fight another hive fleet on their own. Man compared to leviathan where most blood angel chapters had to fight. Kraken had to fight only the lamenters

It made me cry tears of pride. Sanguinius would be proud of these sons of his, maybe even more so than the main Blood Angels and the rest of their successors. For they embody what he wanted the Blood Angels to be.

Finally, after a long time! It was worth the wait!.. Poor Lamenters…. They deserved much better than all the crap they’ve been put through.

[@chasemcnab7610]

Everyone’s just sleeping on the fact that the Lamenters are one of the most badass chapters. They aren’t just good bois. They aren’t just “cursed” They have survived horrors that have ended dozens of chapters before them, and that’s with the imperium and fate itself working against them. And they are still fighting for humanity, where other chapters faced with the same perils and betrayals would have fallen into total despair and joined chaos. They are resilience personified.

The woman who got saved by the Lamenters would probably tell Imperial officials she got saved by Space Marines in yellow power armor. Some administrator is going to assume these were Imperial Fist marines and report back to Terra how the Imperial Fists were splendid and honorable warriors deserving of praise.......because this is exactly the kind of thing would happen to the Lamenters.

I simp so hard for the Lamenters Space Marine chapter, I weep for them. Such stalwart noble warriors who put thier all on the line deserve to be put on a pedestal for all to cherish and admire, to show their appreciation and gratitude to them. Instead....this cruel galaxy hates them, it despises their very being. It hates that there are those who have the worst thrown at them and remain human. Even fellow Space Marines avoid them... How i wish they get a permanent boost to their power, some kind of controlled black rage, maybe even a mutation where they can grow functioning wings?

[@justafox5356]

Im now imagining that one sorry fuck survived the Lamenters founding all the way to the modern setting. Imagine going through 100 years lost in the warp, the battle against the Unhallowed Heart, the Badab war and decades of nonstop penitent crusades where you don’t even have the benefit of drawing new aspirants to replace the dead only to finally die just before Guilliman shows up with ten thousand fresh primaris marines clad in the bleeding heart to replace pretty much the entire chapter’s worth of losses….

[@lazarus9165]

Having watched this multiple times now, when looking at that whole video that ending part feels a little like the lamenter veteran's trauma has finally caught up with him, as he looks around at the all too familiar carnage with a tired gaze, his attention is suddenly taken by the scream of an innocent, an innocent like many of the same who die pointlessly in this galaxy, every. single. day. But not today, she will not die this day, today no one dies pointlessly, and so he cries as his final words, a determined phrase free of lament. For those we cherish, we die in glory.

[@lokket9995]

Lamenters are truly one of the most battle hardened chapters on the 40k universe and the true sons of The Emperor because they are willing to trade their lives even for the smallest human life whereas other astartes would not even consider humans worth saving.
