"Greetings Imperial citizen! Have you seen a nonchalant 9 foot 10,000 year old man in black power armor?"

[@michaelclark7787]

I wonder how many people are post humans in the day to day imperium? Because I am right there with you on this, like I'm sorry but Astartes are huge even out of their armour lol.

[@michaelclark7787]

@@walterTbaggins to be honest I know about post Humans and gangers, so maybe some kinda thunder warrior like augmentations, or drug/chem treatment to augment above "average" size and strength, so I can see it. Haven't seen much of any mention to post humans except maybe Necromunda gangers or Worker Servitor mentioned in HH novels, but it IS the imperium it's a huge place. One of the defining things that stands out to me about Astartes is their level of stability, whilest yes they are super soldier's, they aren't (usually!) Set to fits of rage or massive bodily failure once their geneseed is matured unlike Hive Gangers or Chem enhanced soldiers such as Thunder Warriors. Yes I am tracking the Blood Angels and what not, but as a whole I believe the Dark Angels stock was stable. All in all I can get behind the idea of the Fallen using sneaky tactics to survive for sure. But I still think hiding the sheer bulk of a Space Marine is still a difficult task, probably one of the first tricks they need to learn if they want to operate in or around the Imperium. Then again it's a massive empire so the idea of hiding in plain sight might be more of a practical thing than a mere novel idea. Thanks for this engagement...never thought I would think this hard on how I would have to hide a bloody Space Marine!

[@TehOmnissiah]

To say “slightly less refined” comparing an abhuman orgryn to an astartes is ludicrous… of Ryan are just large retarded humans, astartes are post-human genetically altered and engineered creations of technical immortality, never aging or becoming sick, no fear… bodies that allow them to punch their way out of a tank or endure punishment that would kill an average human countless times over. To spit acid, to go into hibernation, to connect to their warplate, to understand, make decisions and read information at a unreasonable rate. To never forget anything…ever. Meanwhile ogryns forget regularly where they left their guns, they’re scared of cramped spaces and are generally child like in all but bodily aspects. A marine in an armwrestling contest with an ogryn could rip their damn arms off and beat them to death with them… without breaking a sweat

[@Midnight_Mondo]

“Which I’m sure is not suspicious to any authorities “ 😂

[@dantauche7917]

It drives me nuts how they gave Cypher a role in the massive lore dump and plot advance of the Gathering Storm, left it/him on a MASSIVE cliffhanger and have done absolutely nothing (or worse, forgotten) with him in the years since. Not even a hint or mention in Vigilus or PA...its a real shame

[@Dreadbringer]

@@skywatcheradept maybe with the Lion nowhere to be found for him he went to His fathers only superior, the Emperor to get His orders, maybe even to tell him where he Is AND/or Intel gathered.

[@harmonicajay91]

Apparently they were going to do a Cypher Audio Drama like Our Martyred Lady, but the pandemic put the kibosh on that. Hopefully it will still happen so we can get more with Cypher.

That flippant "apparently" after the description of Fallen Daemon Princes had me in stitches

[@mexican-panzer6946]

So the Aborder Prince is in cahoots with the fallen! Make him repent!

[@McihaelMcKee]

Probably the best intro of the 40k channels here on youtube, even when compared to the simple but sweet "g'day guys and gal."

[@wellhungindung]

Very few know of the existence of The Fallen except a few Dark Angels and Tens of Thousands of agents who don't know what they are looking for...

[@brendanmuller7301]

And those the fallen have told

[@KevinOMalleyisonlysmallreally]

The switch to brummy after the main content is always brilliant.

Tank you mate. You make my day better knowing about this :)

[@wellhungindung]

They've really tied themselves in some lore knots with some of this shite.

[@weatherreport9227]

I feel like now that Dark Imperium is finally finished GW can finally move forward with The Fallen and the return of the Lion

[@dantauche7917]

God I hope so...

[@imperatorlightoneous1382]

Keep faith my brothers. Keep faith

[@goliath1179]

One of the greatest presentations of the Dark Angels was in the Death Core of Krieg video by Sodaz. That’s almost poetically have been censored and taken down.

[@bryandonohoue]

Can I just say that I absolutely love the intro these days!

[@Ghost-el8lb]

Love your work

[@UnicornstalkRGaming]

Ah yes. Thank you brother Inquisitor for bringing this to my attention. Glory to the Emperor.

[@seelenverkaufer4861]

I love it when I try and close the comment section only to press slightly too high with my finger and skip the video to the last 40 seconds....

[@billwilson1225]

I imagine some Fallen must feel like Samurai Jack, after having been flung into the nightmare future of M42, where evil is law.

[@martink3082]

Another awesome breakdown, I've just finished reading the Horus Heresy book Descent of Angels so this is very well timed :D

[@JoshuaKevinPerry]

A border prince of chaos.

[@血液天使]

The Dark Angels are becoming more and more like the Alpha Legion.

[@SpiritoftheWolf28232]

Out of curiosity, are there any stories of a Fallen who has reintegrated himself into Imperial society out of a sense of regret where said Fallen has willingly surrendered to the Dark Angels once he's been discovered?

[@ukaszbiaek6641]

there is one story about DA who stayed in stasis for 10k years and was later founded by Fallen. Then after a time they were captured by DA

[@Dreadbringer]

Repentant or not all aré beaten to death or executed by the first interrogator-chaplains

[@loupiscanis9449]

Thank you , Prince .

[@qigonglungz]

Now that I've devoured most of what I was interested in in 40K... The Dark Angels are a lot more interesting now... Great vid...!!! Look forward to a continuation of Luther and Cypher's stories...

[@theezekarion164]

Luther has a Novel out Plus There Are Many Short Stories Gathered Up Into 1 Audio Drama On Audible Called "The Dark Angels Audio Collection"

[@qigonglungz]

@@theezekarion164 Thanks!!!! I'm on it as soon as I finish "Crimson King"

[@hammond1994]

How do you hide the fact that you are an Astartes and become a planetary governor, and no one talks about the 9 foot tall politician in Power Armor?

[@cthulhupthagn5771]

As I recall, some Dark Angels were augmented humans. So outside their armor they were massive, but not transhuman size and without the transhuman dread. They may also use psychic powers to cloud minds, or operate through intermediaries and stay in shadows. Or maybe they claim to be half ogryn

[@ambustio9807]

yeah the astartes trained by the luthor were a bit rushed not full astartes from what I recall

[@OfficioAudiorum]

Oh wow, just what I needed

[@rachellemurray666]

lol that heart makes it all better 😉

[@Duppyman695]

Yes my scribe tell us all the secrets of the 1st , why are all Dark Angels 'Unforgiven' ? Can any really repent ? Is loyalty really it's own reward ?

[@chrisroberts7000]

Honest question: What would REALLY happen if knowledge of the Fallen got out? Beyond hurt pride, what would actually happen? Renegades and traitors are nothing new or shocking.

[@cthulhupthagn5771]

Well, that answer was different in older lore/editions. Until roughly 5th edition, if the truth came out they'd be declared a traitor legion hiding in plain sight, and they'd be labelled traitorous extremis. In the OG grimdark no one would believe their sincerity - especially as they had for 10k years committed various war crimes to hide knowledge of the fallen. These days, post- Wulfen and especially after Guillimans return and the occasional alliance with Necrons and Aeldari....it wouldnt make any impact. Unfortunately to write that out when its a core tenet of their writeup would upset their fanbase

[@Dreadbringer]

The DA aré the two.edged sword with the power in their arsenal to wipe.out entire sistems, they aré the first Angels of death, if they where to be cornered and make enemies of the Imperium It would be disastrous for MANKIND as species, try to see the whole picture not just factionwise.

[@tamkin007]

As for the sons of The Russ I thought Logan Grimnar knows about the Fallen and has promised to never reveal his knowledge and aide the Dark Angels

[@jbol2454]

The Lion was the corrupted one, the Legion fought to purge him and they wounded him mortally, they had to escape into the warp from collapsing Caliban and many became corrupted.. The "Fallen" are actually the good guys.. the DA chapter (who were with the fleet at Caliban) has covered it up for millenia, that or face exterminatus.. simples... no retconning allowed this is all heavily suggested in the early lore.

[@shanepatrick4534]

Yeah some new lore! Its been a while.

[@seadowg5515]

Great stuff! 👍

[@wgarvey84]

Perhaps it's just me but the lore seems worse now. At least before it was open to interpretation. Now it's definitively confusing. Now that's it's clearly chaos and not some unforseen motivation, who are the watchers and who do they support? Both sides? Why do they support the ones who destroyed their world? Seems to make a whole lot LESS sense now.

[@dangoddard4780]

Well said and bang on !! For me the attraction for collecting, painting and gaming DA was always the personal interpretation of the facts of the Heresy which are hardly mentioned anymore or are twisted - like the Lion’s hesitation to attack Horus, being intentionally late for the final battle makes Luther’s sense of Chaos in the Lion deliciously possible and the motivation for the home world’s attack on their returning home a plausible action of defence of their home.The watchers are another good point ! Alot of great DA history disappears when they lost their feathers like the painting of their fallen comrades ashes onto terminator armour ... ps Luther was never a spacemarine but he was almost better in most respects for me :)

[@watleythewizard2381]

My Fallen do not follow chaos. They are Lutheran secessionists, having determined the religion of the Emperor is the true bane of humanity. The secular Angels of Protestation.

[@sadwingsraging3044]

Where are you going to nail your Thesis to the door at?

[@darrianweathington1923]

So that's why my brother has been acting weird for the last few years... fallen bastard

[@AtTheHomestead]

Was hoping for some new Fallen rules and models but alas it wasn't meant to be. For now I still run Cypher with 3 squads with Alpha Legion

[@jonathandarby1519]

Do you think it’s possible that Cypher is acting on orders from the lion? I mean the lion was known for being paranoid and having multiple plans in motion at once. Just a thought.

[@eichler721]

Love the Great Crusade Dark Angels. The current ones not nearly as good.

[@OEFarredondo]

I remember when they had Native American symbology and lineage. Years and years ago.

They kind of still do, just a bit. The feathers on some DA models.
