Night Lords: Goths who are goths for the sake of being edgy assholes who hate everything and take no responsibility for anything, even if it really is their fault. Blood Angels: Goths who are goths because they perceive the beauty and tragedy of life and death, and while it may depress them, it is still something worth celebrating and fighting for.

[@claymore1555]

Bricky does a great job telling about the original founding legions... except for the Imperial Fists.. my favorite legion. The description he gives to them makes them seem like a blank slate or generic trooper place holder. Yet when you look at successors and see the Black Templars, it should be hint that there's more going on; it just isn't obvious. "Fortify" is the meme most associated with them; the word most associated with them is Loyalty. All other space marine chapters act out of a sense of honor, creed, and duty, but the Fists act out of true loyalty to the Emperor and Dorn's dream: a united Imperium and an end to the constant war. A further description would be that they are highly self critical, and very, VERY masochistic. Look into things like the Pain Glove and Liturgy of Pain to get a better perspective on that last part.

[@BigGator5]

"And you know ...their SEED!" 😁 Ignore the Black Templars link that Bricky suggests. I would recommend either The Templin Institute or The Rememberance channel for great Black Templars lore videos. Also, a matter that Bricky doesn't fully explain: After the Horus Heresy, Loyalist Legions were split into Chapters and the Traitor Legions were split into Warbands.

[@xxchaos315xx6]

One of the many things bricky does that bothers me is he often uses chapter and legion interchangeably. This can be confusing for newcomers and is why I see his videos as a necessary evil. He's got some wrong info in his vids and sometimes doesn't explain things when he should. Still there's no better intro to the universe and he's pretty entertaining so that's why I see it as a kind of necessary evil.

[@BigGator5]

xxchaos315xx6 ...Agreed. I often tell people that other creators expect you to have watched Bricky's videos first. Once you have context, then you can specialize. Go in Peace and Walk with God. 😎 👍

[@ti8ick]

I only recently learned that legion and chapter are two different things, but still not sure what’s the difference 😅

[@xxchaos315xx6]

@ti8ick they're basically 2 different time periods. During the emperors great crusade the space marine legions consisted of between 80,000 to 250,000 astartes depending on the legion. They were massive armies of superhuman warriors. The emperors plan was to use them ton conquer the galaxy. Unfortunately the horus heresy happened and half of the legions turned traitor and caused untold devastation in a pretty short time. After the horus heresy, sweeping changes were enacted to the military forces of the imperium. The space marine legions were broken up into chapters consisting of no more than 1000 marines. This was done so that no one person could wield the devastating destructive power of an entire legion of astartes.

[@BigGator5]

ti8ick ...After the Horus Heresy, Roboute Guilliman proposed the remaining Loyalist Legions limit their numbers to a thousand Space Marines. Instead of Nine Legions of Space Marines that could do a lot of damage, now there are hundreds of Chapters with a limit on the number of Space Marines they can have, under the Space Marines Codex. Now if a Chapter goes rogue, it's easier to deal with them. However these successor chapters have to have a Primarch Gene Father as well. So while the Ultramarines is still around, it's considered a Chapter. Other Space Marines Chapters that have Roboute Guilliman as a Primarch, tend to assist the Ultramarines whenever they can. They are SUPPOSED to be separate organizations and have separate goals or missions, that doesn't always happen. Go with God and Be Safe from Evil. 😎 👍

Bricky does a podcast, 'Adeptus Ridiculous' that goes in far greater depth into a Primarch followed by their Legion..... (You see why he loves the 'Night Lords'). I found you can start any book series once you get a based understanding of the faction, legion or Primarch and the book fills in the rest for you. Also I've had advice that the books maybe heavily influenced by the author that wrote it, so I choose to take them with a grain of salt, but still enjoying them.

[@ondrajaros6426]

Imperial guard books are a pretty good place to start, as theyre usually traditional war stories set in the universe of 40K. You can just passively absorb the lore through the POV of a normal person sent to fight eldrich horror in the Emperors name. The "Tanith First and only" series from Dan Abnett is really good, as are the Ciaphas Cain books, but those are more like a dark comedy, where Cain himself views himself throught the lens of impostor syndrome as a coward (the part when Cain first meets Amberley Vail is kinda cute). The Eisenhorn trilogy is also really good if you like the Inquisition and mystery. People had also been mentioning The Infinite and the Divine, it is a great book from the POV of the necrons, also its positively hilarious sometimes

[@AdamJones-tu9lx]

27:00 funny you should say that, because, oddly enough, the night lords have one of, if not the lowest rates of chaos corruption in the traitor legions, with a decent chunk of the legion doing what they do not for the gods, which they see as tools for the week, but for fun

[@2nd_Directorate]

- Space Marine by Ian Watson is a great start for everyone especially if you want to know more about Space Marines and it is a single self-contained book. - Gaunts Ghosts books are good because those are human centric and show the vast differences between the "normal" human in 40K and basically everything else. - Eisenhorn books series is good too, but not as beginner friendly as the above ones, but they show a wide variety of aspects of the Imperium.

20:20 he didnt mention it here, but the space wolves, even tough they have this "Barbaric" persona, are pretty nice to civilians, specialy civilians who are figthers, they see value in human soldiers and will protect those humans soldiers to the teeth. the nicests chapters to civilians are, in order: 1: Lamenters (their legion is the blood angels, but they dont have the black rage nor the red thirst) 2: salamanders 3: white scars 4: space wolves 5: imperial fists 6: ultra marines 7: ravenguard all the ones mentioned above tend to be nice to civilians, the ultra marines however tend to be more pragmatic about it, like, even tough they are nice to civilians, they know that the life of a space marine is worth more than the life of a civilian, so they will not risk their own lives if it is to save few civilians because on the grand scheme of things it is bad for the empire, they are kinda about "what is better for humankind?" and they go with it. the imperial fists and space wolves have great respect for humans figthers as i mentioned above, many times including regular human figthers in their chapter, the imperial fists have a partiular love for the cadians (cadia stands!) the raven guard could be considered to be nicer to civilians even compared to the ultramarines, but they acctuly dont interact all that much with civiians and sometimes do let them die because they dont want to deliver their position, but like, they genualy care, but they also have this "for the greater good" way of thinking. basicaly the only legions who realy are kinda dicks to civilians are the dark angels, the blood angels (but at this point we cant even blame them... as i mentioned, the lamenters, who dont have the black rage are the NICESTS to civilians) and iron hands, i usuly dont like this thing that people say that space marines are dick to humans... when in fact, most legions are either nice or neutral towards humans...

[@NewTypeDilemma01]

It should be noted that all the Space Marine Legions in Bricky's video are "First Founding" Chapters (that is, they predate the Horus Heresy). After the Horus Heresy, many of the Space Marine Chapters were sub-divided into smaller and newer Chapters in accordance with the newly-written Codex Astartes. See, the Chapters at the time of the Horus Heresy were considerably larger than the 1000-man strong they would later be capped at. For example, the White Scars, while still active, were subdivided into another four Chapters: the Destroyers, the Marauders, the Rampagers, and the Storm Lords. The Salamanders were one of (if not the only one) the Chapters that were exempted from being subdivided into new Chapters because there simply weren't enough of them left to make multiple Chapters out of. Even back in the Great Crusade, the Salamanders were one of the smallest of the Legions thanks to their near-suicidal dedication to protecting civilians.

[@gregorturner9421]

space wolves are the only legion to hold two distinct battle honors. they told the inquistion to go get effed...twice then bent them over and spanked them when the inquistion came for them (first one as they though the wolves where mutants due to their unique gene seed. The other is they are the only legion to fight with and against the Grey knights at the battle of armageddon. Wolves are fiercely loyal to those that they fight with and when the inquistion ordered the population of Amrageddon be sterilised then shipped off world the wolves took great exception, stated filling their frieghters with families and took off into space. the inquisition in a hissy fit ordered the grey knights to find and kill all the escapees resulting in what is now called the months of shame when the wolves and the knights clashed multiple times. resulting in a battle over Fenris. which another first occured. The great wolf lord was so incensed by what the inqusition did he did something thought impossible. he ran in full terminator armor before ripping the inquisitor a new one and killing him. the head grey knight, free from the orders promptly did the smart thing, called a cease fire and went back to doing what grey knights are supposed to do, find and kill demons.

So the 20...18 primarchs thing was explained earlier in his podcast. Basically in lore one loyalist and one traitor chapter was left intentionally blank so that people could basically make their own characters, lore, backstory, gene seed, etc. At the eleventh hour though everyone decided that was an incredibly stupid idea but it was far too late to fix it so the joke now is there's technically a loyalist and traitor chapter running around but no one has any info on them

[@adambman2]

Brilliant reaction in all ways, so there might be lots to comment on! It's great to hear you're interested in books, Leutin and Arbitor Ian! Great analogy about Leutin's content, he can be really deep and atmospheric or frank sometimes! Ian can get huge topics down to 20 to 40 ish minute videos, even the real world history of how the Horus Heresy was created, and - as you may already know, shorter ones on individual space marine legions. Neither are so memey but it'll be interesting to see what you think :) As you're probably hearing bits of, space marines fought in the Great Crusade and Heresy typically as legions under their respective primarchs (but there were exceptions, mixed forces etc). After the Horus Heresy, Ultramarines primarch Roboute Guilliman (yes him again) resolved that no individual should hold the power of a legion again, and (after protests and sacrifices from some loyal primarchs and legions) they were mostly broken down to chapters of 1000 or so marines each, as it is in 40k. This was encouragement for people to come up with "homebrew chapters" with their own colours and lore. Now back to the point lol. Bricky kind of mixes and matches a few details from the Crusade era/Heresy legions, and the chapters that kept the old legion name. Of course this just applies to loyalists, since the traitor legions had their own leaders and problems affecting their numbers... Ok, Dark Angels. In 40k, most of the chapter are dark green, the fast Ravenwing wear black, and the veteran Deathwing wear bone white. The Dark Angels legion however, mostly wore black, then a bit of green. Back then, they had six special Wings including Deathwing and Ravenwing, but also Doomwing etc. A marine might have regular duty in a line squad, sharing their specialist knowledge, but then they might be ordered to step out on a mission that requires Deathwing or Firewing specialists. To me, this arrangement's kinda like playing cards, you might want the number for some games, or a heart or diamond for others. Huge tangent sorry lol By 2nd edition 40k, a "big four" marine chapters were established, identifiable by the codex they got. The Ultramarines codex represented them and most homebrew chapters, Angels of Death covered Blood Angels and Dark Angels, and Space Wolves got a codex to themselves (with much less wolf spam back then) haha. As such, Imperial Fists had some minis painted up and photographed, but were seen as little more than yellow Ultramarines, so what you said reminded me of that lol. The Iron Warriors rivalry came around 3rd ed. in Index Astartes articles I think, and the Fists got fleshed out from there. Still, a lot of that is from them defending Terra in the Heresy and since. The legion also had a different knightly influence, which linked them to what would become the Black Templars. Yes, Night Lords and Blood Angels have vampires among other influences. Both their primarchs also had similar powers of foresight, but these were outwardly worse on Conrad Kurze's sanity. He's a bit like if a superpowered Batman chose to kill. Of course with 40k there's a twist, that this legion used terror to cause significantly less destruction and fewer casualties... until they became renegades anyway. Indeed I think all marines in the legion days were able to read memories from ingesting dead enemies (or allies for that matter) and in the early crusade days, the 9th legion had an infamously ghoulish rep, until they met Sanguinius, renaming them the Blood Angels and making them way more popular lol Ok congratulations on reading this far and thank you!

Answers to questions: Nice/Wholesome Primarchs: Vulkan, Sanguinius and arguably Roboute Guilliman as well as Jaghatai Khan Good 40k books to start with: Ciaphas Cain: For the Emperor and Eisenhorn: Xenos. Cain books are more fun but the first Eisenhorn book explores the Imperium a lot more and wraps up with some cool space marine action. Rogue Traders are nobility given special permission to go outside the Imperium. They're not really aligned with any one faction on the table top. Though one Trader is in the Imperial Agents list, and the agents can be put with any Imperium faction on the tabletop. Theyre also how 40k started as the first game they made was the Rogue Trader TTRPG.

[@Mrinsecure]

To give an actual, non-meme answer on the 2nd and 11th legions: We don't know what happened to them. They didn't turn to Chaos, probably, since they were expunged from Imperial records before the Horus Heresy, but whatever they did was such a big deal that even the Chaos-corrupted Demon Primarchs don't speak of them. All we know is that they did *something* that resulted in all knowledge of them being erased from the Imperium. In the real world, the reason for the 2nd and 11th legions is so that people can invent their own primarchs/legions for their own games. But as far as the world of 40K itself is concerned, they may as well not exist.

[@SabeSilver]

Fun fact the Alpha Legion, Night Lords, Iron Warriors, and some of the Fallen Dark Angels don't actually like the idea of Chaos and the daemons all that much. Like Bricky said, the Iron Warriors use daemons as tools like for example the Daemon Engine war machines he briefly explained. However there are exceptions like with various warbands being led by Daemon Princes, but overall these legions don't revere Chaos on the norm, basically they're the gray area of the space marines. There's also renegade space marines that act more like pirates and mercenaries if you wanna get into those.

[@rakat2746]

Warhammer 40k looney toons is a great and short summary of the Warhammer Galaxy.

[@the98themperoroftheholybri33]

Just a slight correction, Perturabo of the Iron Warriors beat Dorn of the imperial fists in a battle called "the iron cage" so badly he gave him depression. *Thats* the reason for their rivalry. (Yes I'm an Iron Warriors fan so I'm biased)

[@infernalskepandaen2127]

BS, Dorn was already depressed after the whole Horus going full traitor, the siege, brother vs brother, the sacrifices, sanguinius dying and big E mortally wounded.

[@the98themperoroftheholybri33]

@@infernalskepandaen2127 the iron cage is literally what knocked Dorn's confidence and why the imperial fists and most of their successor chapters adopted the Codex Astartes created by Guilliman. Most of the legion died during that battle

[@whensomethingcriesagain]

That was later on in their rivalry though. It started way before that, and perhaps more instructive than the Iron Cage in how it manifested was how the two clashed during the Siege of Terra. That was really Dorn and the Fists' finest hour, and also really interesting seeing Perturabo rise to the challenge and ultimately walk away with a pyrrhic tactical victory

[@TheSpoegefugl]

A beginner book people keep mentioning is The Infinite and The Divine. But I guess it depends on what you want to read about and what genre you're into. I don't know enough about the books to give concrete recommendations, but it is worth noting that the 40k universe is a setting in which a lot of types of stories and genres can take place and have taken place. So no matter what, you will most likely be able find something you would like, it's just a question of what you actually do like.

[@werepyre45]

If you’re looking for book recommendations I’d would recommend ‘For the Emperor’ by Sandy Mitchell. It concerns a Commissar in the Imperial Guard by the name of Ciaphas Cain and is one of the more lighthearted warhammer novels.

[@vintageman91]

Most/all of the founding Space marine legions are more or less bad but the 3 most disturbing are likely the Emperors children, Night lords and the word bearers.

[@jamesgillum9604]

you're so right, bricky's videos have just kept getting better

[@Souledex]

I highly recommend the Eisenhorn series that's hopefully getting made for TV production rn (stalled a bit due to covid). It's generally more approachable and with the overview from Bricky it's understandable. It is a story about an Inquisitor and his team in the 41st millenium, and it has very interesting insights, diverse characters and locations, and a really solid cursory impression of the types of virtues, challenges and themes Warhammer can explore without delving all of the way into the Horus Heresy series which has like 90 books (though are certainly readable on their own as an anthology). Though it does lack in the Space Marines department, they are around in appropriate places and it shows Deathwatch in their context!

[@gkdaniels1]

You have to remember, that every faction in Warhammer 40 K are the bad guys there are no good guys. So, while you may sympathize with the circumstances of one faction or subtraction, they will inevitably show themselves to be flawed, and ultimately not the good guys.

[@dayotobiusa]

I've been really appreciating your videos, your perceptiveness and active interest really show through (you've got a bit of a scientist's attitude, in a way). It's very nice and refreshing. If you want another opinion on book recs, I'd start with a couple tips: -All SM legions have not only at least 1 book (IIRC, maybe not the Iron Hands) with just the modern legions, but also 1 about their Primarch and their times with him. So if anyone of them piqued your interest, just try out one of those first (personally, I'm biased to Sanguinius). -The sheer scope and magnitude of 40k books makes it so there's a bit of everything, from "bolter porn", to suspense and intrigue, comedy... so it'll all depend a bit on your personal taste for genres along with the factions. That being said: -Infinite and the Divine (comedy, 2 necron lords basically pranking and screwing each other over several places and times) -Master of Mankind (tragedy, with a lot of exposition on the Emperor and the Custodians, plus a bit of bolter porn) -Warhammer Crime series\Inquisitor (intrigues and investigations, Inquisitor is on a larger scale, the series stories are more localized) -Brutal Kunnin (Orks. Orks. Orks.)

The go-to beginner friendly 40k book that the community tends to recomend (and correctly, imo) is Eisenhron : Xenos. Even though it's a 40k book, it actually reads like a classic crime novel investigation, lead by an Ordo Xenos Inquisitor. Writtem by one of the top 3 40k authors, Dan Abnett. I love that book.

[@dazzmarshall]

There isn't really any book that will give you an easy start, as 40k is such a large universe. The best thing to do, find a faction that you have an interest in, and just dive in. As you learn about factions within that book, you'll have a better idea of where you want to go to next. Most 40k novels are stand alone, so you won't get totally lost, even if you're coming in without too much prior knowledge. I would also read at least a few regular 40k novels before attempting the horus heresy series.

[@snarkyjoe3556]

I'm late to post this but in case anyone is wondering the in universe reason for the 2nd and 11th legion never getting mentioned is because for reasons WE STILL DON'T KNOW, did something so terrible their primarch and legions were destroyed and removed from the history books and even mentioning they exist will cause you to be killed (even primarchs, Horus learned not to test that out while around The Emperor's right hand man Malcador the Sigilite). It's implied the 2nd and 11th's marines were either completely killed or peppered into the other legions with some mental brainwashing, Primarch Guilliman actually had his mind wiped so he wouldn't remember what his lost brothers did

The way Out by Rachel Harrison and The Watchers in the Rain, short Warhammer horror stories. and the entire Horus Heresy series (start with Horus Rising) and the siege of Terra series (an entire other series that's the climax to the Horus Heresy. took me 2.5 yrs to listen to that XD)

FYI, most if not all space marines have the ability to gain knowledge from eating their enemies, it's not unique to Space Wolves. Also Leman Russ is probably worth the boasting, the "backbreaker" Bricky mentioned was against another Primarch, Magnus!

Fulgrim used to be a pretty cool guy before his fall, basically the ultimate idealist. He grew up on a trash factory world where no one had any time to enjoy life and spent every waking moment working their ass off just to put food on the table. He slowly turned that planet into a borderline utopia where the machines made things for everyone, and everyone got to just enjoy life. One day when he and his Space Marine sons were bringing a human planet into the fold of the Imperium, one of his troops accidentally knocked over a man and arrogantly refused to help him up, Fulgrim publicly chastised the Marine and helped the man to his feet before picking up a little girl and putting him on his shoulders so she would be higher up than anyone and said; "I came from nothing. I scrabbled in the quarry pits, and down in the deepest mines, carrying buckets on my shoulders because the ascender blew a gasket. I broke my fingernails on raw ore, and grew blisters from heat and labour. You look down on them, blind to the beauty of their struggle. Blind to what they might become, if only someone would scrape the filth from their faces. Look at them, my sons. You are the highest, and they, the lowest. It is your duty to raise them up, as high as they will go. Anything less is not worthy of you." Ultimately his belief in creating "the easy life" for everyone backfired. Once a person has everything and exposes their senses to whatever they want, life becomes somewhat dull... then very boring, people start chasing the high, and eventually they turn to depravity and degeneracy to get their kicks. Fulgrim realized this too late for himself as well. No one can ever be perfect, but Fulgrims obsession with making sure he and his Space Marines met and EXCEEDED absolutely every requirement that The Emperor had for them eventually made him depressed and self-concious. He found a sword on a planet called Laer that was actually a demon trapped inside the sword that slowly corrupted his mind and filled him with self-doubt. Finally, Horus told Fulgrim that the Emperor planned on killing all the Space Marines and Primarchs by pitting them against each other, then making all of humanity worship him as a god once he fully conquered the Galaxy, that "they were tools, to be discarded and put away when no longer useful." Believing that his entire lifes work was all a lie, and that the admiration and love he had for his father was not in the least bit reciprocated, and that the admiration of the people he had hard won was going to be meaningless, Fulgrim joined the Traitors. Ultimately, Fulgrims vanity and desperate desire to be admired and loved drove him to Chaos.

I would recommend The Infinite and The Divine as a book for beginners. Has alot of humor and adds personality to the Necrons. For a darker and more serious series I'd recommend the Night Lords Trilogy. Gives insight into the life of a Chaos Space Marine. It makes you feel for them, until they rip the face off someone and you're reminded they're evil.
