"40k is a horror setting" That says so much with so few words and gives a great impression of EVERYTHING in the game so much better than a lot of pop culture depictions

[@SYLRMHA]

Horror IS pop culture

[@krzysztofmathews738]

Exactly. It's military cyberpunk with a very strong Lovecraftian element/influence.

[@TheRiseofKali]

Haha yes! Thinking of 40k as a horror setting was just like ... " Yeah, that makes sense as to why I like this hobby..."

[@MasterIceyy]

The thing is the 40k setting is so large and expansive that it can literally serve as the backdrop for anything, you could even make slapstick comedy or a romance novel in the 40k setting. I don't really think everything needs to be grim dark and edgy for it to have a place in the 40k universe. You need light in order to have darkness.

[@theshamurai32]

I think it's honestly hard to define 40k at large as one genre because it contains such a variety of them in different media interpretation. Like the Watcher novel was straight up, actual existential horror, then Ciaphus Caine's novels are more like a military farce parody, then you have Gaunt's Ghosts that takes it to more of a gritty, espionage/guerilla action environment, Horus Heresy reads like borderline biblical epics, and then Eisenhorn (from what I understand, haven't cracked that open yet) is a political intrigue detective series. All of those books are still about just the Imperium with a variety of tones. This isn't to say that variety is bad, I think it's one of 40k's strengths that there's something for almost anyone in this universe. It does make it hard to pin down what 40k as a whole falls into, though. Not to be contrarian, but personally, closest genre I'd describe it as in a phrase is "Gothic Scifi."

[@Mr_Waffle.]

6:35 in the book "Dante" it's explained that the Blood Angels' practice of artistry and beauty is to help hone their focus and concentration, so they can more strongly resist the Red Thirst and Black Rage- new recruits spend a year practising arts and crafts before they even start combat training. Definitely makes sense they'd fall to it more easily when they give up the thing that helped them fight it!

I hope Mortifactors get a mention, they're my favorite of all the creepy chapters, while also being just wholesome in their own quirky ritualistic way. Loved reading about them in Warriors of Ultramar. Their audiodrama "Taker of Heads" is fantastic too. They also had a chapter in the "Successors" anthology. They're what I'd describe as Kroot but Space Marines.

[@foolfooly3553]

Oddly enough, Mortifactors are also probably one of the more 'progressive' Astartes chapters in terms of adhering to the Imperial faith. They recognize the rot in Imperial society that comes with blindly clutching doctrine and law too strictly. Definitely an interesting mix that this chapter is, probably one of my favorite chapters at the moment

[@leonelimalevu7302]

"Wholesome" is the last word I'd use to describe those cannibals.

Given that Space Marine get a special organ that lets them consume memories of people that they eat, cannibalism is probably fairly common for space marines. (Which support your hypothesis of 40k being a horror setting)

[@andicrimson6956]

'The Reverie' by Peter Fehervari goes into detail of how the Angels Resplendent became Penitent. It's also a fantastic read as it shows how the horror genre can still apply to space marines.

[@denniswijker7162]

The Angels Resplendent are also part of The Dark Coil series of books by Peter Fehervari (my personal favourite Black Library author). His novel The Reverie has them as main characters, and is primarily set on their home planet of Malpertius, pre them turning into the Angels Repentant. The colour scheme however is different, being a darker shade of blue in those books. with the left pauldron fully artistically personalized by each Marine. Highly recommend picking up this book!

[@davidcashin1894]

An interesting shift from painting and history of miniatures to Lore. But this is one, maybe the only aspect of 40K that I enjoy, making up or following one's own obscure and cursed chapter.

[@MrStealth205]

Heyyy wait a minute; I'd recognise your painting style anywhere and you painted a mini for each faction! Very thoughtful and understated touch. Great vid too, much thinking fodder for a kitbashed successor chapter thank you for all the lore ideas!

[@LurkMoar101]

I loved this Sudgie. While people like Bricky and Luetin (both personal favourites) delve deeply into the 'main' lore, it is you that has brought my attention to the lesser, even more unknown, details that I have somehow missed since starting in '87. And to add to that fact, I still have my original Rogue Trader rulebook and look back fondly at that drawing of a Rainbow Warrior getting shot by a Sister, and it's only just this moment it dawned on me that it was an early Sister Of Battle. Unbelievable. Thank you.

[@cullenkerr6556]

If you want to learn more about the Angels Resplendent, the Undying Martyr and how they all fit together I can’t recommend Peter Fehervari’s work enough. The books Fire Caste and the Reverie and the short story The Crown of Thorns all have subtexts that weave together and let you piece the mystery together. It’s probably some of the most engaging fiction Black Library has right now

[@PavelThorsonos]

While I wholeheartedly recommend checking out all of Fehervaris work (he is by far my favourite 40k author), I do feel the Reverie is by itself enough to piece it together ;)

[@cullenkerr6556]

@@PavelThorsonos Eh. The Reverie sets up why the Resplendent would be willing to listen to the undying martyr. Fire Caste and the Crown of Thorns let you figure out who the martyr actually is and how he got to Canvolis. But you’re right this is an undisguised attempt to get the Arkan more exposure. My favorite subplot in the dark coil is the Arkan inadvertently getting payback on the Resplendent. The fact that the boys in gray had no idea that yeeting the creepy preacher into a swamp brought about the total ruination of everything the chapter that helped conquer their homeworld stood for is hilarious

[@RibTheRob]

Do a part 2! While not the most exciting color scheme (having undergone a couple revisions, including their heraldry), the Relictors have an interesting story. In fact the Eye of Terror campaign had featured them in a couple WD articles which introduced 'the mini codex', where a chapter was given special equipment to select, scenarios and even created allies for them! Based on the retcons of the Eye of Terror campaign, their fate is is a 'grey' area.

I feel like the Absolvers from Wrath & Glory might make a good addition to the list. The RPG books speculate that they might be Ultramarine successors, given their obsession with upholding sworn oaths. I suspect they might actually be Dark Angels, though, because they have an entire mystery cult with secret rites. So secret, in fact, that they refuse to initiate their primaris brethren into those mysteries.

[@mordredpendragon1235]

[@grimdarktales9598]

First off I fully agree about the children’s books! Just because those books exist doesn’t mean we don’t still get the disturbing, shockingly horrifying “adult” content that we have always known and loved! Exceptionally dark loyalist chapters are my bread and butter for favorite 40K lore. I wrote a short story about the Carcharodons attacking a remote Imperium outpost gone rogue, and I did my best to make it feel like Jason Vorhees hunting these mortal planetary defenders, because I imagine that’s what it would feel like!

[@grimdarktales9598]

Also this video’s subject is why I collect Deathwatch, I get to tell little chapter specific stories about all the various chapter recruits in my single army, and the many ways they interact, collaborate and clash! From my excommunicated Mortefactors Chaplaon-turned-blackshield Judiciar Ugrun Tash, to my by-the-book Ultramarines Watchmaster Proxo Diomedes, who personally served in the Tyrannic Wars, the Deathwatch are a bottomless source of diverse chapter storytelling and conversion opportunities!
