😂 ohh NOOOO..THAT HAIR !? Halloween costumes gone bad? In high-school I was the Crow and the dye that was supposed to wash out left my hair black for months. Either the Halloween thing or you have a new girl or bad friend and both lead to suffering. 😂HAHAHA Of course this rant was just the ugly face of jealousy. I'm so glad I stumbled onto this video ! I'm subscribed and I'm supposed to receive all notifications but haven't received any for 3 months or more and thanks to my last deployment ( cognitive issues fuck you very much Afghanistan...also I'd like my hand back) I couldn't remember the name of the channel. Big fan of this channel. I enjoy this one and the one with the chubby guy who has flock of seagulls hair and wears the graphic tees. I've never played but love the lore and painting collecting the figures. Joytoys and McFarland figures are great as well and it's cool that McFarland has the unpainted ones. I hope that you and those you care for are happy, healthy, and safe. Semper Fidelis P.S. Myself and several other Devil Dogs I know really appreciate your channel. We use it kinda like a book club during our PTSD meetings when the weight of our iniquities makes it hard to breathe let alone talk about our loses. My experience with your channel began shortly after coming home from my last deployment and I was broken in every way. I was also a newly single father to a MIRACLE of a Daughter ( wife/best friend passed from cancer while I was in a medically induced coma in Germany) I would wake up in very bad shape and your videos along with comicstorian and Fwoosh..D amazing ..helped more than I am able to adequately articulate . They distracted from my physical, mental ,and spiritual pain. They kept me from waking my Daughter with my walking around, taking a shower,working out etc. She had enough to deal with it wasn't her place to be my caregiver. Now we usually watch your videos together and I can't thank you enough for the great content and your presentation of it. Thank you

The full spectrum of Chaos worship is on display in the legion in 40k. Two of the bigger named characters we know of are full-on daemon princes leading large warbands. The entire point of the omnibus is to show how far Chaos corruption can spread in even just 50 years (how long First Claw subjectively experiences between Terra and the books). The Night Lords in the current setting are degenerate Chaos Marines to the same extent as any other legion or warband.

Well, Dorne was both Impressed and Saddened by the Black Templar. Impressed as they outright ignored the codex and maintained legion strength while fighting constantly to protect the Imperium. Saddened because they reminded him of how Sigmund was. Staunch, unflinching, and willing to charge into any battle no matter the odds long as it was for the Imperium. There is one thing that impressed him more than anything else however, The Black Templar drill the Last Wall protocol into their members as an absolute rule. When the Fists call for aid, when the protocol signal is sent out, all crusades stop and every last Templar will make a direct path to Holy Terra. EVERY Templar will answer the call ASAP. The sheer volume of ships appearing around Terra would be enough to make a wall around it. The Fists are designed to hold ground, the Templar are designed to take ground. You put them together and working fluidly and you have a terrifying enemy.

[@kieranadamson3224]

Yeah, the Night Lords and Chaos Knight are great examples of this to me. The Night Lords as mentioned actively choose to remain as a traitor legion rather than pledge to Chaos. Despite having been composed of the worst of the worst but they still had no interest in the machinations of Chaos. They just wanted revenge for what they believed to be a greater betrayal than they could ever commit. The Chaos Knights are a bit more fuzzy on this because the Infernal houses are a thing, they're just straight evil. But there's also the iconoclast houses who often fell because they decided the oaths they swore to the particular legion that found them couldn't be broken in good conscience. Kind of reminds me of corrupted Ogryns to a degree. They faithfully follow those they pledged themselves to into damnation.

If I remember right Conrad was thrown into a portal to the warp while fighting on McCraig and fought a demon back out of the warp and killed it. I think after his fight he saw the eternal truth, and his already tenuous grip on his sanity was broken. I seem to recall him saying something like “the real gods are laughing at us” or something like that. May have gotten the details wrong

[@matiashofmann6010]

Tossing Sevatar is unforgivable. both during the heresy and potentially in the current setting, that wacko could make the night lords have the attention they deserve, also since it wouldn't hurt Talos and the warbands storyline. There's too much compliance in the black army and his acquaintances.

[@Xynth25]

Unfortunately for the thought of Sevatar in 40k, Astartes still age and wear down. Dante's the oldest alive today at just over 1000 and before the Rubicon he was getting to be almost decrepit, far from his prime. Unless GW fridges him in the Warp (which would have its own issues) Sevatar would be truly ancient.

[@matiashofmann6010]

@@Xynth25 , it's a thing to take in consideration, but remember that the eye of terror is not inside the warp. It's just a place where the barrier between both planes is really thin. Most traitors lived there after the heresy and stayed there until the fall of Cadia. Why I mention this? Because for these guys, these past 10k years have NOT been that long for them. 2 examples I could think are in the black legion books and Ahriman's series as well. In both, there's dialogue about how was for them when they travel outside the eye. What for Sigismund was almost 1thousand years, for the black legion was something like a decade or two. Unfortunately, most traitors have been "blessed" with chaos, which definitely extends their lifespan. Iron warriors and thousand sons are the least chaos imbued, and in both cases there are alive astartes who were part of the heresy. Given all of this, it's feasible for me to imagine a Sevatar aged like the lion is right now. Dreadnought I could almost confirm it's not the case, since in the nightlords books the unaccountable fate of Sevatar is present, and stuff like dreadnoughts are a thing that cannot be unknown, even for the madmen the NL are

[@UncleMikeDrop]

It helps that unlike the Thousand Sons, the Night Lords didn't have to contend with the flesh change and in the current setting, their psychopathic Primarch is dead whereas the Thousand Sons still have their psychopathic Primarch who also happens to be an egomaniacal demon space wizard. Furthermore, no Night Lord was turned into a dusty golem.

[@no-nonseplayer6612]

exept Lonrad might be alive as Sevetar might have shot that assassin before he gould kill Konrad Curse fully

[@UncleMikeDrop]

@no-nonseplayer6612 Key term there MIGHT be and even then, it's a stretch. Magnus the Red on the other hand, is canonically active within the setting.

[@twenty-fifth420]

I wouldn’t call Magnus Psychopathic, maybe just because people always say that for mental illness and writing and it is really, really narrow minded. It lacks nuance. He doesn’t really have too many psychopathic traits. I would probably say it for Angron pre-fall, maybe, but not for Magnus. Also, Magnus didn’t do the Rubrics, that was Ahriman. And tbh, the fact that exists in the setting is among the dumber things in 40k tbh. Edit: Same for Konrad btw, even though he technically fits more. But Konrad also has some other traits that fit into other illnesses. And Konrad gets a partial pass because he sees visions basically all the time. I cant say with good logic and conscience he is a psychopath when you constantly see the future, but it is basically worse then Perturabo who saw the eye of terror since birth.

[@no-nonseplayer6612]

Not sure if this is a good enough topic for a video, but how do you think Sigmar would fit into the 40K universe if it was true?

[@matiashofmann6010]

Actually, it's heavily implied that the primarchs were given life simultaneously. There's no connection between the legion # and their biological age. As a matter of fact, some legions precede their respective primarchs. The Lion is indeed connected to his # in the lore, but I would say it was by design. As big E had a role for each of them, giving the Lion the 1st legion to be under his command probably was to fulfill his position.

Another reason why some of the night lords are anti-chaos. For the one raised on Nostramo and this is my theory that make sense to a certain point. Before the Heresy they were psycho's , killer's , murders , criminals of some kind (minor or major) and people of violance usually from a gang/criminal organisation on Nostramo. They seen the good , the bad and ugly before the heresy from a early life as most of the recruits from Terra and Nostramo later on . At a certain point they see what chaos can do from the other legion embrace chaos and say no knowing how messed up some of their life were pre-heresy. As being a criminal to a certain degree was a factor help them for the better or worse for being anti-chaos for the ones that stick to Servatar or Konrad teaching still in M41/M42 . As a sample Talo's was in a gang at a young age and saw what life was like in the neighborhood he grew up in under a gang control . Stuff like that change you for the better or for the worse at a certain point even for messed up some of the name night lords were from the Heresy . As even the night lord Zso Sahal from the novel lord of the night was anti-chaos , anti-imperium siding with the traitors while sticking true to the legion values when they meet a night lord warband that embrace chaos mutation's .

Why not?

​@@WhiteMoose211that's because Ferrus was a great leader and the Iron Hands were hyper efficient warriors, not because Ferrus was some Uber Primarch like Sanguinius. Sanguinius would literally win any fight he threw himself into because he was fated to die to Horus, Ferrus in this new canon isn't afforded anything beyond not getting clapped on Istvaan. Also, replacing the cool headed Rogal with the notoriously hot headed Ferrus would probably see the traitors win just because it took the cold autistic calculation of the Fists to barely hold Terra, anything less, let alone the opposite, would see mistakes made and exploited. Royal defeated Alpharius because he made himself so single minded and cold that nothing in the universe would deviate him from his plan. Nothing could be said to stop him. Ferrus on the other hand doesn't have anywhere near that level of self control. Next, I don't think Corvus could defeat Mortarion. Jaghatai had the endurance to match Morty's Plague and Nurglite buff, Corvus is just sneaky and skilled. Lastly, let's not forget the most crucial element to the Heresy: Alpharius and Omegon. As shown when the Emperor and Malcador war gamed the Heresy over and over, if the win was too one sided for the Imperium, they both rush to the palace and kill the Emperor. The Heresy was perfectly balanced, so even if they do win, they lose. The current outcome was THE BEST option.

@@alastor8091 Rogal would indeed be a loss for the loyalists in the defence but with the Webway closed really quickly, the Emperor is free to a) calm Ferrus down so he's more effective and b) could probably lead the defence himself if needs be. Also it's possible Corvus could defeat Mortarion, just may need to be smarter about it. I wasn't really asking this question in the context of the cabal prophecy etc either. I was more interested in the actual practicalities of whether the Istvaan V loyalists found themselves defending Terra, could they successfully defend it.

You have been slacking majorkill I need my lore at the regular intervals for the emperor

[@thehivemind5531]

My hot take here is that the 10th company are the exception not the rule when it comes it night lords, nearly every other depiction has them way more chaosy. Yes the night lord hate chaos but i fell that its really just hate for the sake of hate. Talos has ADB syndrome in that his best characters are the opposite to what we expect from them

[@iansauvageau5736]

Just reading the omnibus now, good timing!

[@MT--WesleyCrumblebee]

I’m 2/3 through the Soul Hunter book and the Night Lords are enthralling.

[@chips6058]

I was dying for some requisition scrolls and gold so thanks a bunch m8

[@Hot_Dice]

Damn dude you’re a beast in Tacticus. Thanks for the code!

[@amanofnoreputation2164]

Emperor literally created a psychotic vampire as though nothing could have gone wrong.

[@xanderAram]

Major dope codes for Tacticus. Mad respects

[@CrimsonXenoProduct]

konrad had a spooky nightmare and didn't tell his dad

[@ltcinsane]

I found one of the most interesting moments in the Konrad Cruze novel before Konrad meets the assassin where he ends up having a breif conversation with the emperor after making his meat effigy & the emperor says he forgives Konrad because he bloodied his hands in the great crusade on his behalf & kind of gently chides Konrad for getting too mentally set into thinking that his precognition visions were always 100% true & completely unchangeable.

[@DoomStroller]

Ruthlessly efficient and brutal in equal measure. Appreciate the fact that hunting of human crew was aloud on ships but only menials. If a corrupt marine killed someone of importance or ability absolute hell to pay

[@transfan962]

Do a video on the chief librarian from each legion.

[@bennyb.1742]

3:03 Low key just described the 3D printed gun scene.

[@beccadixon1943]

Your a Legend majorkill, git some much needed shards for aethana. Now I can continue my quests 😂. The irony that they reject chaos the most is hilarious (reference to video)

[@marcopeter7581]

I Always found it funny that the Most insane primarch rejected Chaos of His own free will, but the other Traitors (angron excluded), relative sane, embraced it

[@zesty8772]

How have you been enjoying Darktide since the large update?

[@bindleberry]

I’m detecting a lack of Kenergy from Majorkill, literally not me

[@zamkayruss3952]

Yo I got Azrael AND celestine in tacticus from your code , thank you so much!!! Great video

[@fg1735]

Day 1 of asking Majorkill to make a video on each legion's best achievement/battle/victory

[@gregdelvalle6846]

If any more men of iron lore has come out id love to see a vid on it

[@PabloOstertag]

Day 2 of asking for a dedicated series of videos detailing in depth the Lion El'Heresy

[@majorasmask5523]

Majorkill, would you please cover Catachan again? I’d love to hear an Australian talk about the failed Khornite demon invasion.

[@Pladshirtman1924]

Currently building a night lords army. Taking this as a sign that my night lords need less corruption and more skulls.

[@ridgerunnersp]

Thanks for the code brah

[@alfieingrouille1528]

I can't wait to make a nightlords kill team

[@rumorcontrol7873]

how much lore is there on Chaos Navigators, what happens to those who guide Chaos ships?

[@Ghastly1]

The Nightlords Omnibus has a navigator as one of the major POV characters. Idk of any other lore that focuses on Chaos navigators. Sorcerers are capable of guiding ships through the warp as well, so navigators may not be that common.

[@jamescarnes9227]

Zso Sahaal from the novel Lord Of The Night would have been an awesome mention here

[@Poixat]

unfortunitly the new kill team looks very chaosy

[@LocalFemboy427]

Can we get a video on Lord Solar Arcadian Leontus? For the Imperium!

[@jajsem1109]

Wow, that code is juicy. Nice.

[@blinko1388]

That Tacticus code slaps

[@khairallahdh]

Honestly this is why of all the traitor legions, these guys have my respect more than the others. They rebel against the emperor without selling their souls to arguably even worse entities.

[@theskyking1858]

What if the emperor ascended as a chaos God

[@feroexe7965]

Bruh Major you should've also looked into the new Nightlords models. They fucking dope af, way better than Asmoda-

[@MrFredstt]

GW please give us more Night Lords lore. Make multiple fans happy and write books about Decimus and the Eldar

[@LibreGlider]

Mojorkill. I downloaded Taticus to see what all the fuss is about. Hope is good.

[@mogwaiman6048]

The Night Lords are a chaos corrupted legion, they utilize chaos as a tool and implement chaos empowered assets within their various warbands.

[@sendapez]

That Night Lords singlet will be the first I buy.
