The Black Legion as protagonists is one of the most fun ways to read the 40k canon. From their perspective, they're the only people who understand how the warp and the galaxy works, and conversely are the only ones just sane enough that they can effectively utilize that information.

[@Mr.Praetor]

The fact that so many Heresy era traitor marines are still alive is super goofy to me. I know the whole "time in the warp is different" argument, but within the warp you still had the Legion Wars/Slave Wars, 13 whole ass Black Crusades and 10k years of Chaos Marines being seen outside the Eye fighting with other factions. I know GW loves their named characters but I wish we had more people like Huron Blackheart instead of most named characters being Heresy Veterans.

[@user-co3uc8vt7e]

Some CSM are just better at surviving wars.

[@Artemisarrowzz]

I think it plays on the theme of Chaos as destructive as it is stagnant. You got a bunch of men screaming bloody murder at people who barely know who they are, for supposed crimes that happened thousands of years ago and that are only sometimes remembered, commited by people dead for so long most of the time they aren't even remembered. Heck, one can argue that even Big E is barely the man he was back then. In other words, Chaos makes you incredibly pathetic in 40k, before it completely destroys you.

[@konradsommer6927]

I don’t remember what the name of the book was, but it’s about the alpha legion and it mentions in that, that there are no more alpha legionnaires that actually were alive during the siege of terra

[@jidk6565]

If we took all the named Horus Heresy Veterans and all the stated companies/warbands full stated or theorized numbers of Heresy veterans together Id bet we wouldnt even get 50,000 marines Between all chaos legions and warbands It makes sense to me, the numbers But you're def right, we need more focus on newer marines

Near-mary sue psyker, except always taken with a grain of salt because he is, PROBABLY, lying to the Inquisition periodically on "unimportant matters" to fuck with them. He's a sassy bitch sorcerer; there's a part in Talon of Horus I love, where they're docking at an Iron Warriors/Mechanicum spaceport, and he's looking at other ships for alignment. One of the ships reports back that it's named _The Skinner_ and he just, scoffs at it and starts laughing.

[@theodorehodbor5080]

I feel like recently the Black Legion has been kinda on the upswell because people have started to realize the group is more a combination of every Chaos faction rather than simply just general Chaos. There is really a stark difference between a bunch of marines being Chaos Undivided and a bunch of marines being Khorne, Slaanesh, Nurgle, and Tzeentch worshippers working together (that usually being them murdering the fuck out of each other as soon as the bigger threat is gone).

[@chadking375]

This, you can paint your guys any scheme but as long as they have a black pauldron and the BL insignia that’s a lore-accurate legionary. Many are just “sworn” to Abby and not a “legion” per-say

3:36 I like how the black legion recruits different traitor Marines form different legion in my option it makes them more unique as you can have one group who are all Khorne berserkers and another who are tzeech sorcerers and allows for a more diverse army if your the kind of person who wants to play most of the traitor legions.

[@philiphockenbury6563]

People meme on them because they haven’t done much. But that’s because they’re fucking surrounded by some of the best and brightest forces that the Imperium has to offer. There’s a reason for why Cadia became the default choice for military forces in the Imperium. Because those fuckers are cracked. Any other regiment style of guard has made trade offs to be situationally better than the Cadians. Those mother fuckers are built different. They had their homeworld blown up and took that shit in stride.

[@ShadowFeindX96]

The black Legion are interesting as they are in a super position of being the most dangerous threat and being the most impotent chaos faction depending on who's getting pushed

[@SeanCrosser]

Have you seen "the super ancient, far-sighted, wise, secretive", and yet pretty much only exists to get bagged-on faction, the Eldar? Yeah all their psychic foresight and skeins of fate shit, they'll get ambushed by Guardsmen, and have an entire Craftworld be blindsided by an Imperial Navy fleet.

Or a worldeater heavy weapon specialist with 2 bionic arms. Or a member of the fallen. The black legion and the talon of horus books are where you can find these dudes

[@richardvaldes3959]

Theres a story where horus and the emp take down a ork scrap world by attacking its freaking artificial core. Custodians and Justarian termis fight along side the emp and horus. The were glorious before the fall. So was horus

[@OneReallyGrumpyJill]

What I love the most about Black Legion is that they are abject failures with nothing left for them but hate: their father was a failure, they hate Chaos, they have Emperor, they hate humanity and after putting it all on a gamble, they lost. They are losers who have lost and now can only claim one thing: vengeance. They can't let go of their hatred because their scars is the only thing they have left - they are the logical end point of space marines, in a way.

[@SWProductions100]

I'd recommend checking Adeptus Ridiculous' first Arks of Omen episode. They cover Abbadons relationship to the gods, which I think helps flesh out poor general armless.

First off, MORE, MORE BLACK LEGION!!! second, I fucking love how you covered the one thing that is so unique to that of the Black Legion; being that it's diversity of tactics. I just started building my first army and it is Black Legion but i kinda bought into it on accident yet I'm really happy I did. Those two books might be my favorite and I've honestly come to see the traitor legions and really the warp in a whole new light.

[@Balrog4242]

I love the Black Legion because they're the truest to the old heavy metal 40K aesthetic. And I told GrimDark Narrator to bug you about your 40 creators idea so treat him right he's a really nice guy ;)

[@BaranZenon]

I kinda like the idea how many guys this Legion has. In one book there was a line that BL is 10 times bigger then the Word Bearers and in other that WB has just over 100,000 marines. So yeah. That scene from the Ultramarine movie where black legionnaires doing a suicide charge in great numbers (compared to the squad of Ultramarines and remaining Imperial Fists) like there was no tomorrow is as stupid as I thought about it before.

[@Monika_Aurelian]

I definitely believe the black legion has so much potential to be the thing that unifies other races against it, however a lot of the time it kinda just meanders and does whatever. However the aspect that anyone can join makes me incredibly happy and is the sole reason why i paint black legion, because i can play plague marines and rubrics as a part of them

[@Me6rimlock]

I wish their models were more like death watch, the different factions coming together but all look completely different. Even the raptors and tech marines look kind of the same as all the others. Just would like more variety on the table top or allow us to mix non black and gold marines and do colors from the factions that are getting together.

ADB's Night Lords books are the best thing to happen for Night Lords, and the worst thing for every other faction wishing they had an ADB trilogy that makes their faction oh so likeable.

Just some unlucky sods the maintenance people thought would be better as decoration. Sometimes they’re trophies, maybe it’s to appease their patron god or for any other crazy reason.

[@kharnt.betrayer2946]

It varies. If it's a collection of skulls they're trophies, often tributes to Khorne but not always. If it's a half-flayed cadaver probably some Slaaneshy marines enjoying torture have left them behind. If they're crucified or several are arranged in a strange pattern it's probably a sorcerer doing a ritual.

[@Wanten-the-stormtrooper]

I own a good few Chaos Marine warbands and beside the Death Guard and Thousand Sons, I need a way to tell 'em all apart. So while I look for ways to lean on specific elements of them to make them not just be CSM in different coats of paint, I mostly just do the Black Legion as they are on the box, but periodically do something to reference a guy coming from another legion. For example, since my Word Bearers are mostly old CSM, I put an old CSM head on one of my Black Legionaires to connect him to the Word Bearers, while my icon bearer has pale skin and black eyes since he's an ex-Night Lord. That's the kind of storytelling I like, but hopefully there's some more upgrade kits like the new Night Lords one to make it easer to add character to them.

[@surimonizarro9791]

Abaddon is a very fascinating character and was what got me into the black legion. Yeah is lore is all over the fu king place but when you piece it together hes actually really cool

[@emzetkin1100]

Conversely, the Black Legion tend to recruit from warbands that became disillusioned with their parent legion. Those who saw the corruption take root in their legion and destroy their brothers.

Sadly, I do not know who wrote this, but I think the last line is relevant: "I haven't started playing 30k yet, but would someone explain why an alpha strike army that can field banestrike-combi-weapons is not as competitive as any other army? Certainly there are better general styles, bolter proficiency, survive-ability, or sheer brutality, but as the fluff states the Luna Wolves/Sons of Horus aren't about that. They drop on-top of their targets and kill them. Droppods, Nuncio-voxs, and vicious application of mid-range firepower. We fail in protracted campaigns, our skills are not that of subterfuge, simple killing power or endurance, we have more finesse than that. We are deepstrikers, and today's space marines has as much to owe to the Luna Wolves strategies as they do to Gulliman's codex."

[@Mr305miamivice]

What happens to a chaos spacemarine when he dies in battle? Just respawn in the warp? Example: I know there are veterans from the the great crusade/heresy in the ranks of most traitor legions in 40k, my question is how do they refill their ranks after set battles in the Timeline, and what happens upon death to a single traitor marine. tentacle boi Lucius steals your body if you defeat him in single combat ( and enjoy it?). What about the grunts? In the space marine game they despawn when killed lol. I’m really curious…

[@collecter343]

Depends on what exposure/pacts with Chaos the marine has. Lucius is one example but that kind of respawn is unique, most other instances of this kind are for Marines that have become Daemon princes so they’re basically Daemons with all the rules that entails. Pretty much all the rest of Chaos Marines will stay dead when they die unless something special takes place.

[@Mr305miamivice]

I know I am super wierd here because I actually really like Abby. I think a lot of if issues stem from the writers and not his character him self. It’s not really his fult that he acts differently between books because it’s clear that’s the writes. Same with the 13 black crusades. If you read the black legion books they don’t number them because this is one long war to the black legion but the imps number them. It’s kind of why heron black heart is so liked he only in 3 books he dose not have to be the bad guy that’s always forced to lose. This bad writing is though out 40k for example in the second black legion book Abby gets hurt really bad by sigy the first Chapter master of the black templares which is dumb they should have let Abby win because it would have brought the character story around because Abby lost in the siege of Terre books. I like the idea of the black legion and how they are all brothers working together that’s what you get if you read the black legion books but that has not really translated into the codex’s so it makes them look like massive hypocrites which sucks a lot when we seen others have that happened. You can say this is all cope and I did make a hole video about this topic on my channel but this is my pov and I really like them much more then even the night lords. I think there is a compelling idea behind them and if they had better writing the fan base would change their mind much like the ultras.

[@gabrielseth5142]

The Black Legion to me is wasted potential. I think they should've been direct descendants of the Sons of Horus first and foremost but that as the direct descendants of the Sons of Horus, their diplomacy and ability to unite other CSM attracts other traitor warbands. As well they just fall flat on their face lore wise. They're usually just the guys that end up being the cannon fodder the hero's fight through and that's just dumb. They have nothing going for them from a practical marine standpoint: they aren't primaris marines, they don't have better gear or supplies than the Imperium, they're mostly just pirates and their quality as marines is less than loyal marines. I think at the very least for them to remain relevant they should always have an element of the clever in them. They're 10,000 year old veterans, even those that aren't that old but were born, raised and turned into marines in the eye of terror should be first company veteran levels of skill, because even in the eye of terror the Horus Heresy and Great Crusade has never ended, it only has evolved into wars 10x worse than the Imperium deals with. Every battle is a battle for a daemon world or a marine world or a mechanicum world or a combination of 2 or all 3 of these and they fight these wars with what they can get their hands on, not steady supply lines
