Finally ladies and gents I'm Reacting to THE Bricky. This reaction is to his content explaining the different factions of Space Marines in length. Original Video Link: • Every Single Warhammer...
The Night Lords might be scum but few of them like Sevatar, Talos, and Malcharion are one of the most kindest astartes you could find in the entire galaxy. That's probably why bricky like them. Their legion are scum but the greatest of them shines brighter when surrounded by such grim environment. Sevatar is the second of command of Konrad, but he criticize his primarch and his methods of fear. Later he avanged a young astropath girl by killing the care taker after he broke her spine by using her powers to ease his pain while incarcerated. Talos might be a traitor, but he never fell to chaos, and is actually kind to his slaves. Later when he knows he won't survive the battle, he advised his former slaves on how to escape, and where to go to live the rest of their lives in peace. Malcharion despite surrounded by scums, murderers, killers, he still choose to give his life to save his brothers whom he considers as his family. Plus, other legions hate them for being scums when in fact they are effective at preserving lives. Other legions go in all out war, conquest, and killing billions and destroying planets in their war. The night Lords on the other hand wage terror tactics, and broadcasting that towards the enemies forcing them to surrender through fear and avoiding a conflict that saves lives in the process. They literally have the least civilian casualties compared to other legions, lmao. They might be pansies, but they are effective pansies.
Vermintide is part of the warhammer fantasy property, which is separate from 40k but also made by games workshop. Warhammer fantasy is set in a steampunk medieval world while 40k is futuristic science-fantasy in space.
To explain about the 2nd & 11th legions, yes they were wiped out. The story seemingly goes that one or both of the Primarchs along with their legions did something, we don't know what, but something so off script that it made the Emperor go ape shxt. The Emperor then sicked a few of the other legions on them and the Imperium came out on top, successfully wiping them out. But the thing is that afterwards all the Primarchs seemingly came together and basically went "Wow, that was really fxcked dad. None of us need to remember this, and neither does the rest of the Imperium." So they asked the Emperor to put psychic blocks around the memories of what happened during the campaign and they began with the expunging and deletion of any and all information about the 2nd and 11th across the entire Imperium. The Primarchs themselves weren't event to utter their names and Horus almost got force choked to death for trying to do so way back when he was still loyal. Now the thing is the 2nd and 11th are referred to as "The lost and the damned", so does that mean that one was tragically lost and the other exterminated? Or did they both turn and is it a name they just gave them? No one knows and that's really the mystery.
Also known as the Forgotten and the Purged. Also vague. One or both seemed to be hit super hard in a part of the Great Crusade called the Rangdan Xenocides. Which at least according to Oculus Imperia's speculation (who is definitely the most well read 40k loretuber) was some manner of chaos or AI driven viral or bacterial emergent intelligence. It wiped out something like 90% of the Dark Angels - which also implies they were way bigger than any other when that happened, like millions - which does make some sense as they had no particular recruiting trouble and they were actually mustered first (they were started roughly in order despite popular belief - some just took more effort to find recruits or had other difficulties like the Emperors Children and the Thousand Sons). The Dark Angels were also the only legion allowed to use a bunch of proscribed Dark Age of Technology superweapons, and were the one's especially during the Solar Reclamation that fought enemies considered so dangerous or insidious no record of them remains - like on Sedna and against Xenos Slavers around Saturn. Basically early in the crusade, especially before they rediscovered primarchs they were far and away the best legion with the best gear on the most dangerous missions - and their reinforcements against the Rangdan in one account were the 2nd and 11th. His idea was at least one of them may have been infected with some viral machine that got into most of their legion's genes somehow and spread and waited and then damaged their geneseed and Chimeric organs DNA system and maybe mutated them as well - which is crazy cause that only really happened with godlike psychic shit (Sanguineous dying, the Thousand Son's Fleshchange which is basically a curse by Tzeentch to racketeer Magnus into selling his legion to him) or as an emergent property of things they were already (Wulfen in Space Wolves, the Black Dragons that take the Salamanders bone density and skin darkening all the way into boney plates and spikes). The geneseed of the Space Marines once in a consecrated full grown marine definitely involves some space magic and power the Emperor got from the chaos gods - so to fuck with it in that way is really wild and either they were Forgotten because they withered away, and their legion couldn't make new marines or they were Purged because they may have been a threat to all other legions as carriers of a bioweapon.
I will admit that I'm not up to date on the lore of this. But, in the Rogue Trader days, it was simply said that the lost legions "likely joined Horus in the heresy." But the far more mundane reason is that they 1) are meant to evoke the lost legions of the Roman Empire, and 2) that they are meant to give players the freedom to create their own succession chapters of unknown origin, possibly even being the original lost legions.
Slaanesh is an it. Depending on what faction you play, it is referred to differently. The Eldar (space elves) refer to it as a her. Specifically "She Who Thirsts". I lean more towards that description since they basically created her/it by accident. It technically can have all 3 sex organs if it wants. Also WoW and Starcraft were supposed to be Warhammer games, but Games Workshop fumbled the ball hard.
The Warhammer Starcraft thing is kind of a myth. Warcraft was suppose to be a Warhammer game but production was slow and GW wasn't happy with the project. Blizzard's team on the other hand also didn't really like the project either except for the project lead so it died. There is no trusted info out there that I ever found on Starcraft being a 40K game. And that makes sense given the last project. Blizzard just took inspiration from 40k.
Quick note about when Bricky mentioned the 3 wings of the Dark Angels (Greenwing, Deathwing, and Ravenwing). Those 3 are what the current 40k Dark Angels have, in 30k during the Horus Heresy they had 6 wings. They were known as the following and here are their responsibilities. Deathwing: The Legion veterans and linebreakers Ravenwing: The Legions mobile warfare specialists and pilots Stormwing: Legionnaires who specialized in mass infantry tactics and strategy (basically what the Greenwing currently is) Ironwing: The ones who specialized in things like technology, armored warfare, artillery, siege specialists (basically what the Iron Warriors and Iron Hands do) Firewing: The Legions division who specialized in espionage and assassinations and were the smallest of the the wings due to their role, compromised mostly of the Legions best champions and duelists Dreadwing: The most terrifying of them all. Basically a group solely dedicated to committing war crimes and total destruction (to the point that there would be NOTHING left of whatever they were facing). The division given the sole purpose of guarding weapons and devices from the Dark Age of Technology which were so dangerous that only the Dreadwing were trusted with (not even the Mechanicum were trusted with this kind of stuff).
Not all dark angels have a name that begins with IL or El in their names one of the best example is Asmodai and yes there coffee bean species that are bitter
@@AnthonyCarrierRU-vid I would first do ▪︎ Every Single Warhammer Faction Explained by Bricky to get a general overview. Part 1 & 2 are about an hour that can be broken up to make it easier for you to digest.
Some info to help you out (might be long so please bear with me): 9:23 You're probably thinking of Cadia, which was much more important to the lore than Caliban was. Almost no one save the Dark Angels themselves care about Caliban's destruction, while the entire galaxy reacted to Cadia's fall. 13:07 Modern space marine organization has their forces split into around 10 companies of 100 marines each. The Deathwing is the veteran 1st company while the Ravenwing is a specialized 2nd company. The regular Dark Angels fall into the 3rd to 10th company. 14:33 The second and eleventh legions had all history and records about them expunged from history. No one knows why and it's likely to forever remain a mystery. 15:26 The Emperor's Children keep their name even as traitors just to make fun of and spite the Imperium. 16:33 Slaanesh represents all forms of hedonism, perfection, paint, and lust. Its form is androgynous to represent the universality of these feelings. 28:16 The ability to take information through eating enemies is an ability all space marines have, it's just that the Space Wolves are some of the space marines that make use of it more than the others. 36:52 The Night Lords are pretty likeable despite what Bricky said about them. They have a tragic story like a few of the other legions which doesn't necessarily make them sympathetic, but it at least makes them more understandable. If you're ever thinking of picking up a random 40k novel series to read, the Night Lords trilogy by Aaron Dembski-Bowden is a fantastic choice. 39:17 To battle their descent into insanity, the Blood Angels actually take up more human hobbies like art and poetry, and they are GOOD at it. Their weapons and armor are masterpieces with decorations and adornments on them and the banners they fly to war with are expertly woven by the space marines themselves. And the appeal of the Blood Angels is that they manage to be more human-like in the end because despite being cursed to fall into madness, they fight it off and defend regular human lives with all the nobility that their father had. 40:16 Some Iron Hands have lost their minds trying to remove the weakness that is flesh. Their whole theme is balancing the cold calculating logic of machinery with the immovable drive of emotion. 57:26 At the final battle of the Horus Heresy, the Emperor obliterated Horus' entire existence so that not even the chaos gods can grab his soul to revive him.
The thing about Space Wolves eating people to gain knowledge from those they eat, is a generic space marine thing... And space marine can do it Also Roboute Guilliman is that way in 40k, because in the 10,000 years since the Horus Heracy, the Imperium has become the exact opposite of what the Emperor and his views for humanity were ment to be, so Guilliman is the defacto leader of everything that they fought to change about humanity.
Just to give something on daemons and Chaos in general. They all are really just concepts, actions, or ideas made manifest, so they really don't have a form. Like there is a daemon called a Bloodletter. It kind of a take that red skinned goat legged typical Satan look wielding a black sword. However, even though it looks like that, its appearance is kind of superficial. So, if you think it has a digestive system, it might not. It might not even need a head to survive. Likewise, daemons don't really understand anatomy, so the concept of pronouns mean nothing to most of them. All in all, Slaanesh is represented as a woman a lot because it's tied into with pleasure, lust, and sex a lot. I mean if I say BDSM, most people don't think of some guy in a leather tong. Same deal here.
Guilliman's exact quote when he returned and saw what the Imperium had become: "Why do I still live? What more do you want from me? I gave everything I had to you, to them. Look what they've made of our dream. This bloated, rotting carcass of an empire is driven not by reason and hope but by fear, hate and ignorance. Better that we had all burned in the fires of Horus' ambition than live to see this."
The audiobooks are fire when it comes to voice acting. The primarchs I have heard speak are all voiced by Chads. The guard are often grizzled, traumatized or gleeful, etc. It's so good.
31:59 they are rivals but one clearly whooped the other’s ass during and after the heresy (the iron warriors won in offensive mode during the siege of terra by breaking the defense of the imperial palace and won in the defensive mode in the battle of the cage after the heresy)
If you ever want to know about one of the only humans ever acknowledged as a peer to Space Marines, let alone Angron's World Eaters, check out the video "Lotara Sarrin - Old Man Lore." 20 minute video, but boy is it wild.
You were spot on about the Khan’s links to Mongolians early in the video (before he went into more detail later)! Edit: Really respect your knowledge on EU Star Wars and Destiny!
22:30 Iron Warriors/Perturabo. This is my legion of choice. I don't know if you have learnt about them, but I can write it all down later after I get some sleep.
