40 Facts and Lore on Underrated Space Marine Successor Chapters in Warhammer 40K 

I love the Celestial Lions. They have such a good color scheme and background

I really like the exorcists! Many possibilities off cool convertions and themes

The Silver Skulls deserve some serious love soon.

Where in the Emperors name are my black dragons, also they are a successor Chapter to the salamanders change my mind

The Mentors Legion is highly underrated! I would love to see a book by Black Library about this chapter!

Death spectre chapter. The fact they are the only ones in the ghoul stars, keeping watch for the horrors that are there is awesome.

It is heavily hinted that the Charcharadons are in fact a loyalist nightlords. or a chimera combination of nightlords and ravenguard. It's even been suggested that Sevetar may have gone on to found them.

Fun fact: 3:40 if you consider the Eisenhorn series of books cannon (which I believe one especially should since the first three books laid the foundation for and did the vast majority of the fleshing out for the concept of Daemon hosts in the 40k universe) Then according to the lore on Daemonhosts from those books, The exorcists are all actually true daemonhosts, still possessed by their daemons, simply play-acting at being normal Marines for some as yet unknown purpose. This is due to the fact that within the cannon of the Eisenhorn saga, Eisenhorn, in conversation with the Daemonhost Cherubaal, explicitly states that an inexorable part of the process of creating a daemonhost is first, the total obliteration of the mortal human soul that once occupied the body, as part of its preparation for habitation. Now granted, what is and is not cannon in the warhammer 40k universe is its own can of worms, but if you chose to believe the Eisenhorn series is, then the rituals of the exorcists would be totally impossible, and is likely just a cover story they chose to feed aspirants about to be sacrificed to grow their secret chaos/daemon possessed legion.

The Black Dragons.

Metal Jaws theme cover intensifies.

The charcarodons are the coolest loyal space marine chapter, hands down. I personally like the minotaurs since stomping SM players is my favourite thing to do on the table top

The steel confessors are the definition of "My Uncle Works at Nintendo"

1) Black Dragons, 2) Celestial Lions, 3) Charcaradon Astra, 4) Storm Giants

Legion of the damned and carchadons(?) Were probably my favorite lore wise

Minotaur's

I didn't know techmarines were a thing 2 days ago but I was thinking how cool they could look so I drew up a few designs. Yup, they look exactly as I thought they would ^^

I wanna know more about the bad luck boiiis, The Lamenters, wanna see them redeem themselves and shed their bad luck.

Minotaurs

Question: Can you do a thematic video about the Space Marines sucessor chapters inspired by true warrior civilitzations, like Mongol/White Scars, Romans, Spartans, Vikings, Egypts, Celts, Azteks, Maohries, Samurai/japanese, Persian, Zulus, etc..?

Where's the lamenters?

Im saddened by the lack of Angels Sanguine and how they always hide their faces and seem to have information not meant for them...

So, is that a legit chapter in the thumbnail or no? Because that marine looks badass.

Werent the carcharodons part of the loyalists in the badab war against the astral claws

What's your terrain build videos

Carcaradons are a lost legion!!!!

i for one would like to see more story videos from Gersh1 and the sound alchemist on mating rituals and mating life for drukhari and eldaris and humans who were isolated on a shielded maiden world for 100 years from a big warp storm.

I am Alpharius and I approve of this.

Exorcists are dope, thought an army or chapter inspired by them would be cool

Question: do regular space marines not get along with tech marines? I mean the tech marines worship the omnisiah, do the rest of the marines in the chapter think it’s fine because tech marines think the Emperor of Mankind and the omnisiah are the same thing?

Remember the Astral Knights

Plz do a part 2

Thank you for this! I'm personally thinking of this as you taking my recommendation for a 'Mysterious Chapters' video hahaha! Thanks for your hard works guys! c:

Carcharadons are badasses..

Insert " here before heresy " joke.

Storm Giants chapter the block Dragon chapter the Doom Eagle chapter

Still no one commenting on how there's canonwise ONLY 18 legions.. Maybe OP would like to tell us who the 2 missing primarchs is ? Hm 🤔

How do we do the 1$ a month thing? Pardon I missed the part how we sign up for that.

Question : can you do underrated abhumans or acceptable mutations? Can you the Afriel Strain (basically warhammer version of clones)? The Carcharodons are favorite what's scarier than a angry space marine a space marine that hunts other space marines!

The Star Phantoms

Excuse me. but why is there no justice on the lanenters?

Now I really want to know who this undying Martyr is XD

Might see if you can find a store near the winner of the starter set. They will probably need the business more than Amazon.

I’m a Silver Skulls man myself. And did I hear right that Iron Warriors are loyal again?

If you're really into this, so much that you don't even notice what's going on outside: Bless thee! Such innocence is a rare gift.

I like idea of Mechanicus chapter but i don't like colours of the Confesors. I thinking about my own chapter but more in red, black and markings of AdMech. Createt similar way like Confesors. Exorcists are nice! :D

Whats up with the cold opens lately? I don’t hate it, but it is an abrupt departure from the old opening.

great video, as usual! quick thoughts: the space sharks are the best. and pretty clearly of angrons geneseed. the exorcists cant trace their lineage to the grey knights, for the knights are not/ dont have a lineage. the order is, like the deathwatch, recruiting from the other chapters. the steel confessors kinda seem like the iron hands 2.0. their trinity belief is cool but lore wise they seem a little redundant (as many chapters do, but that might be why they get no attention)

Relictors Space Marine Chapter,this unconventional chapter was deemed traitorous by the inquisition for using chaos weapons against chaos themselves.So they fled into the eye of terror,but their allegiance is with the Imperium. Also Soul Drinkers Chapter,they were betrayed by one of their own but they still fought with imperial fists on their fortress ship till the end when one of their own opened a warp gate inside the Imperial Fist's star fortress.They knew they would be killed by the inquisition because the inquisition saw the whole chapter corrupted beyond salvation(not true) so they also fled into the warp gate wich before closing it for good.Emperor Protects.For those we cherish we die in glory!

Also.. does ANGRY MARINES count?

are there any sub chapters that splinted from the space wolves?

The beautiful Marines. Best chapter ever lol lol

That's strait up a Maori on the thumbnail lol

You cant tell me the undying martyr isn't an agent of chaos. Always hated that story.

Carcharadons! Best Space Marine chapter. 100%

Space sharks

Question: would Broly goku and vegeta be primarchs?

More angry Marines!!!

Keep it up guys!!!!! Could you possibly do a video about Chaos and how different warbands join up with black legion and turn their colors to black and gold becoming members of the black legion? World eaters, noise marines, Deathguard, 1000 sons, etc that are in the codex shown as black and gold themed? Also include different daemon engines the black legion is known for using such as the brass scorpion, or if they use lord of skulls due to world Eaters swearing to abaddon and joining his black legion, what causes them to join in and turn their armors colors to his etc? Or if they ever use anything such as leviathan tanks, or larger flying units? Much love from Texas!!!!

Cool but aren't the Charcadons sucesssors oof the Night Lords? their tactics are way more night lord esq than World eaters

Black Dragons have to be one of the biggest underestimate chapters

EAGLE WARRIORS

The charcarodons are one of the most popular successor chapters and hundreds of people run them on the table top. Of all the chapters on this list they make the least sense to be here. Edit: the exorsists are fairly popular too. C'mon man. If anything *all* of the chapters from the badab war are more obscure than the ones listed here.

I get sad when they take a break and don't post at 11 lol

This is interesting I mean there is also the “fire fists” they are not really heard of but if I remember they come from the salamanders

Legion of the Damned is not a successor chapter.

#question - hey guys, it's the kiwi again and its a nick name we take from our nations bird. my question is - How many space marines chapters have been created in all of 40k history and which is the oldest living one?

This channel is now pure heresy., Also thanks but I can reed the wiki myself.

Just FYI, it is pronounced: "E-dict" not "eh-dict".

Really hard to hear u when ur barely even whispering

Weird technical-ish question about your videos: Does GW just let you use their art and videos? Is there any problems with that? More a curiosity than anything.

🔥🖤🔥

Soul Drinkers!

Is Master Chief a lost primarch ? Dude hates Xenos and kills them on fist sight. He would be the smallest primarch. But just wondering!

Why is his voice so annoying
