The 5 Most TERRIFYING Loyalist Space Marine Chapters | Warhammer 40k Lore 

I'll buy merch if you chug a tall boy with no jump cuts edit: I'll buy the one of everything bundle, split it up and send stuff to my boys

Bobby?

You did scare me 😱

I’ve never been this early, notice me senpai. SIKE miss me with that gay shit

Ofc the Aussie can down a can of beer in one

Offer some ketchup.

Holy shit, just imagine that without words. Only dismissive body language as they talked to each other in their helmets. Then, as they took off their helmets. The Guardsmen, exhausted from the terrifying battle. Saw their saviours take off their helmets and made the sign of the Aquilla. Was amazed by the perfection of their faces, so angelic, just like the pictures and statues. Only to then stop part way through making the sign as their saviours started bashing the heads of their misshapen former brethren open and feasting on the goo inside.

Not even just the part about them eating their brains. They’re terrifying in general because of how unbelievably rare they are. Many believe they’re just myths, and even more don’t realize Chaos Marines actually exist. Plus, most of the people that find out end up being massacred either by their saviors or the Inquisition. Seeing any Space Marine has been described as a breathtaking thing that just results in people kneeling in awe or tearing up at the realization the Emperor’s angels actually exist.

What's the space marine faction that literally spit's acid?

​@@ianyoder2537 all of them, it's a gland that weaponizes their sinuses.

Great idea. Let's make this game playable. Instead of an astardes, let's make it an initiate. You'll be chased my an insane, hulked out manchild originally perceived to be an ally. You can't fight it. Not directly, in any effective way. Its typically faster than you but takes a moment to react if occupied. due to its crazed state, it can be diverted or distracted. Open areas would be particularly dangerous, but its skills would change from time to time. If its crazed, its loud but more ferocious. If its lucid, its quieter.

You don't even need to be a civilian lol

The final boss are the Marines Malevolent Edit: Good Ending when the Mortifactors are the chasers _After masterfully avoiding the Mortifactors Chapter. You run into another Space Marine, traumatized and fatigued, you just sat there and accepted death but the space marine instead lifted you up on his shoulders and said “Come, this is no place to die.” As he carried you onto a thunderhawk waiting to take off. You look back at your savior and saw a bleeding heart insignia on the Marine’s pauldrons_

​@@Franz0818 lamenters?

@@Franz0818 bleeding heart? Bro, you are done, if it was me, i would like to see a dragon head more

Marines Malevolent and Minotaurs are the thing, so...

Marines Malevolent lol

Why people say the Lamenters ate weak..they have the worst luck but they still win and hold on .thats makes them of the strongest chapters in my head

It's hands down the Marine Malevolent. Those are a hair's breadth from becoming renegades. They pretty much have the inquisition breathing down their neck all the time.

Marines Malevolent

Is this a simpsons reference?

​@@jrr7031yes.

Said the kinslaying hypocrite (El'Jonson, not you, OP).

Yes. Something new. A true horror.

Absolutely

Now that they added a living story to the game, It will eventually have to come to a conclusion. And it could be from the ghoul stars

In some ways I would rather a lot wasn't specified with regards to the ghoul stars, since much of the terror of them comes from how little is known. Having a faction represent them could actually make them less scary by giving whatever is out there form. It might be cooler to have some books on the matter, since it isn't required to give a visual depiction and can cover one of a multitude of horrors that could exist.

@@rhyshoward5094 Yup. They ruined the necrons by creating the back story of them.

Damn...

I wonder if it had anything to do with playing the 'Jaws' theme through the vox.

What kind of fucking heresy is this shit!? Astartes don't feel fear they just get even more pissed off!

@@SH-qs7ee 🤣 I actually bursted out laughting

Imagine Night Lords sneaking there then realizing their vox channels got compromised the exact moment someone says "Hello...".

"It's not a phase, dad!"

Don’t worry. It is a phase.

Bobby G: Cawl I want a DNA test

Both have flesh in the name, so it does make people make mistakes.

War of the lost what now?

I thought something seemed weird about that. I was like “Gabriel Seth was never mentioned with the pentarchy” but I also had no way to prove it 😅

What the difference by the looks of it they both probably eat enemy and ally

@@skeletonnoise6178 there was a redacted war sometime in the M30’s that mentions someone who says they are a primarch and fucked some shit up badly, but lost in the end. 40k theories has a video on it if you’re interested

I've seen tyberos if he's not the most terrifying space marine the loyalist have then I'm scared who is

One does not simply freak out The freakie boys, the shark marines must be some seriously spooky ones.

@Eemeli Pulkkinen From Red Tithe; POV from Night Lords. These Loyalists were different from the ones he’d outwitted in the past. None of his Claw leaders reported having ever encountered them before. Even Shadraith was seemingly without answers, practically abandoned by his pathetic daemonic patron. Their fighting style was not one Cull recognised. If anything, it seemed eerily like the Night Lords’ own doctrines. The brethren of the Red Knights - a young successor to the Blood Angels - had displayed a violent savagery when Cull had engaged them in orbit above Quelos, and he had heard of the brutality of the Space Wolves. These grey-clad Loyalists matched the bloodthirsty violence of both Chapters, and yet there were unsettling differences. Reports from the Claw leaders claimed they made no noise in combat. Nor was their bloodlust in any way unrestrained. While apparently eager for hand-to-hand combat, they seemed to retain complete tactical awareness. Twice Cull had watched in silent fury as Loyalist squads had refused to take the bait and follow up on retreating cultist squads that would have led them into carefully laid ambushes. And on the single occasion where the Night Lords had gained the upper hand - where Artar’s Fourth Claw had managed to split and outflank a Loyalist squad that had pushed too far ahead of the support in the tunnels either side - the corpse-worshippers had broken from combat and disengaged. Their close combat fury was matched only by their discipline and self-control. That combination had put the Night Lords on the back foot. In the space of four hours they’d been driven into the inner workings of Sink Shaft One. Perhaps Cull had been foolish to assume his young warband were the supreme hunters, but he was not prone to making the same mistake twice. He had sent orders to all Claws to disengage and withdraw towards the prison cell catacombs, taking with them all the savlar and escapee convicts they could find. They would be corralled with the loco shipments brought in from the outer mines of the captured sub-precincts, and then unleashed, en masse, back upon the Loyalists. Once the horde of prisoners collided head-on with the advancing Imperials, the dynamics of the subterranean war would change.

@@saltyshackles5227 damn bro. Ok. Shark marines are good.

Nobody: Nobody at all: Tyberos: "THESE ARE MY WANKIN' GLOVES!"

...a special butt plug?

Accidentally?

God damn it Timmy!

I have Chaosgate Daemonhunters. In the final missions against Mortarion, Draigo looks like he's going to tear Mortarion limb from limb when he enters his throne room. Then when you actually play the mission, he's constantly laughing. I was like, holy shit this guy is more hard-core than the evil he's trying to destroy.

Difference between the bad guys and the good; the bad guys wear the skulls of their enemies, the good guys wear the skulls of their allies, friends and heroes.

Skulls and spikes are pretty awesome ornaments to place on battlearmor,

Same. I was very confused by whatever this Pentarchy thing he was talking about

@@jasonstephen7564 40k is full of obscure lore so I'm not surprised really

and how they wiped out double their number of space marine chapters --- By attacking them 5 on 1, i suppose.

@@user-xw5xo3bv1n possibly though I'm assuming the eleven chapters were working together at least at the start

@@zacharyweaver276 well, the whole conflict is called "War of False Primarch". Considering "False Primarch" part we can presume that Fabius Bile or someone with such skills was around. Such False Primarch could lead chapters astray. The war was going from 780.M33 to 860.M33, for 80 years. So theoretically this eleven chapters did suffer significant casualities by that point. Practically arrival of five fresh chapters with full supply and coordination could shatter their coalition especially if they were to kill this "False Primarch" and then hunt down his followers one by one.

corvax would probably do what he is doing now, and probably wake up and decide to use his demon powers to fuck with chaos in the warp. i mean its what he is good at fulgrim is a bitch and wouldn't be able to even consider logisically helping out anything, and would probably hate the imperium more than anything. lowkey he might actually break away from the imperium, maybe starting his own empire if he woke up. lion el johnson would absolutely be awesome. he would probably make a few more mistakes than rowboat girlyman, as he is well known for being violently ADHD, so forsee worse relations with eldar and tau, but his sheer stubbornness and absolute powerhouse nature would mean things like the orc menace would quickly dissapear. sorry ghazghkull, the lion isn't gonna to be too kind to you no matter your wauugh.

That is perfect 😆

Naaa it's got to be Konrad I think

​@@Just_A_Megalodoni would say this is gotta be some alpha legion shenanigans... But isn't Konrad dead? Like dead dead?.

I always dreamed of a dark eldar horror game. Now that would be bad ass. Like your a lone civilian and you have to stay hidden for a set period of time so the eldar raiders move on.

tau weapons shit on space marine armor

CAs are not really sadistic or brutal. They prefer melee but are really tactical and composed in combat.

I'm new to the space sharks . there huge chapter master with the awesome weapons caught my ear.i need to learn more before I can say .

When reading their novels I always think they're actually what's left of one the lost 2 legions, they generally operate outside the imperium by writ except to resupply. They don't match raven guard or night lord characteristics unless they've highly mutated. They use ancient codes. there were heresy legion elements that stayed loyal, what do you do with such a body of astartes before the heresy... Send them out to the edge of the galaxy and beyond where they may do some good and won't be a reminder of something best to be forgotten (purged). So while no one ever seems to mention this as a possibility, it's what I first thought of and nothing since has changed my mind.

Pretty sure that’s confirmed in official lore

they do it everywhere

Black Dragons: Fight us or jump off the cliff

It is grimderp. Edgy for no other reason than to be edgy

​@@crim1188eeeeeh still. Ravenguards whole shtick is that they are all about freedom fighting, they are a bit too benevolent for that type of stuff. Now if you told me they where just loyalist night lords id believe it in a heartbeat

weren't the Knights of blood declared traitors, but just shrugged and carried on helping the imperium.

Gabriel actually chewed out Santor Jul the Knights of Blood chapter master for killing a eleven year old just to drink his blood.

Not really, it seems quite fitting. It was only under the direction of Corvus Corax did the Raven have better morals and direction. The Terran borns were sent away because Corax was disgusted by them and he took the Deliverance born under his wing personally. Corax is also naturally a very dark character, although he fights for "good" he's not blind to his own personality and what he may have become, remember when he clashed with Kurze and he saw himself reflected back but twisted. Allowing the successors to branch off and go their own way just seems to have reverted them back somewhat to how the chapter was before Corax.

@@FRAAANKYSUUUPER Yeah, lets remember Kurze was a vigilante, Corax was the terrorist.

There’s really a chapter called the flesh eaters? Is it known who their gene seemed comes from?

@@ellis7622 they’re blood angels successors. Not much lore on them other than being in the PoB, and being mentioned in Devastation of Baal from what I know.

@@ballisticfish1212 ah ok thanks

Who do you think you're requesting that mini from? Is there supposed to be an actual outcome to your request?

Kharn and Lucius can take them on!

@@christiandauz3742 mostly win due to even thicker plotarmor than named loyalist space marines

@@JJumper8888 Kharn and Lucius have the Warp with them If Tamir Rice had Chaos blessings he would have slaughter all Amerikan cops!

@@christiandauz3742 so yeah due to GW's writing chaos would always win cuz of some warp nonesense

@@JJumper8888 The Warp doesn't care about reality or expectations It's like the iceberg that sank the Titanic or Hurricane Katrina which devasted Louisiana except on steroids Countless trillions willingly or unwillingly fall to Chaos every century

Yes the absolutely NOT secretly iron warriors successors sons of g man

Don't forget, he dropped a moon on the World Eaters primary recruitment world

(I think he made a joke in the video considering how many tournament wins Iron Hands have gotten and how overplayed they were in the competitive scene throughout much of 9th Edition)

@@lazerhosen or maybe they aren’t used like that in Australia. I know I used the heck out of them and have been using them since they got their first supplement back in 6th edition.

Oh fuck

@@kuafer3687 right, I need my majorkill fix... I'm feinding over here lol

The phrase it "much worse" or "the worst," but not both. "Worst" is the bottom, "worse" is varying degrees below baseline but above "worst."

@@lazerhosen I see, english is not my first language, so thank you for the help!

@@chiuvittm no problem, even native English-speakers commonly misuse "worst" in common phrases like "took a turn for the worse" or "things went from bad to worse" because they've only heard them spoken in passing and have never read the phrase in print.

Isn't it Death Company? All flesh tearers are prone to Red Thirst rather than black rage. They kill for their thirst of Blood rather than blind rage for Horus. Wich surprisingly they still loyal to the Emperor

Grond!

It's been theorised (maybe proven but Idk the lore is chaotic) that a lot of ultramarines successor chapters actually originate from traitor legions with a hint of smurfmarine in em. It also explains why the ultramarines have so many successor chapters compared to other loyalists

It is weird at first glance, but generally speaking, every Chapter eventually takes on the culture of their homeworld. The only exception are Chapters that recruit from a large group of worlds, or just recruit randomly. Frankly, considering that the Imperial Fists are mostly Hive Gangers, we're lucky they aren't constantly throwing gang signs and selling meth.

GW tends to throw a faction under the bus to make something else look super uber cool and powerful

@@jasonravenscroft5321 wich would be fine if it was not always the night lords when someon is supposed to be scary, use the black legion, world eaters or dark eldar sometimes, you would get the same effect.

.....Or DOES it?

This is a lie

Probably because they are pretty clean with their work (and they also get meme'd to death all the time...)

The best part of Alpha Legion is that I'm pretty sure there are legitimate unironic Loyalist warbands just cosplaying as Ultramarines
