The Excoriators: Forgotten Sons of Dorn (History & Lore) | Warhammer 40,000 

Spartacus before you go onto the Eldar and leave the Adeptus Astartes, I would love if you got into The Sons Of Omegon, The Carcharodons and the Silver Skulls. Chapters of renown deeds and secrets.

We never forget any of our Brothers. The sons of Dorn are still standing. Also we all share Father Adorable love of the magic pain glove. IN ALL IT'S FORM.

Spartan, we need you and fans aid, a battle brother named Astartes channel has been hacked and the chapter master is mass Twitter the RU-vid help channel but will need you in the fight go to his channel the link will be there

Dorn's sons. For stubborn they are born, for loyal they prove.

Excoriators are awesome :D

I appreciate your cheeky commentary now and then that grant reprieves from the often harrowing accounts of darkness, death and devastation - it's a nice, more subtle approach than most content I've seen and I think it's a great blend of enthusiasm, depth and most importantly (imo) your tone, how you come across (the guy talking nonstop and who's brain is bathed in G Fuel, that life is being lived a billion times over, it would seem 😐). It's subjective of course, but what all of these qualities do is make your videos accessible - it's engaging but also approaching conversational. It's welcoming for the unfamiliar, and for someone like me, who loved the 40k universe and didn't know it, your content is easy to digest and a solid place to get the knowledge whenever I get curious about anything 40 K. (Didn't mean to get all professorial like that - sometimes I like to seem like I'm trying 😐 Cheers man 🍻)

Great video. They are like the Iron Snakes, in being virtually unknown but indispensable.

Never heard of these guys, but you made an awesome job bringing them to life! Thank you Spartacus

@ItalianSpartacus Now you understand why, as veteran of many combat engagements, I love My Excoriators!!! You did a great job!!!

Ahh, yessss, more 40k. Hell, it's about time!

The hardest part about painting my minis for my first game is picking which of the Sons of Dorn to play. Imperial Fists chapters are the just hands down the coolest.

I MEAN! You gotta have literal balls of ceramite to have your armorial shield to the right of the Black Templars', on top on the Executioners' and to the top right of the Celestial Lions'! Gonna check if the Deathwatch RPG has something on the Excoriators, tho, 'cause iirc there is.

An exemplary job.The Excoriators may not have the fame the other chapters of Dorn have,but they are more than worthy of the admiration of the followers of the Imperium aswell as the fans of the Imperium in 40K. -1st Company Ancient and Excoriator Claudius Drakan of the Epsilon Last Wall Protocol P.S Keep up the good work.

Very nicely done Spartacus. Glad to see the Excoriators covered, they are obscure but just as worthy of admiration as any other sons of Dorn. We look forward to your next upload! - 1st Captain Dekra

This chapter sounds like loyal Death guard.

Great video my dude! Really enjoy these kind of videos more than you could possibly know! :) All Sons of Dorn suffer from the genetic flaw known as the "The Darkness" Spartacus, its a psychic backlash when Dorn failed to save the Emperor and through the Ironcage, went on to his sons by the emotion caused at the time, the founding chapters of the Imperial Fists that followed gain these "traits" and differences in the aftermath of the conflict itself. However the Excoriators suffer from it more than any other chapter within the legion itself, its why their more related brothers The Black Templars suffer from bitterness and rage resonated so strongly, in the sense of hatred towards traitor Space Marine legions and "mutants". It may have left a psychic imprint in the Gene-Seed itself of the Imperial Fists in general.

You're making me really Dorn's successor. And great timing I just finished Praetorian of Dorn last week. Dope video. Love your 40k stuff.that battle plate inscribing stuff is dope.

I'd love a video on the Black Dragons or The Exorcists. They always struck me as interesting but unknown chapters.

This was an interesting lore video for me one of my biggest question was how the transition from the secular truth, to the imperial cult happened and why the adeptus arstartes allowed the imperial truth to be thrown out.

Oh, thank you so much about reminding me about the Iron Cage. I helped me to understand one joke from latest TTS and got me dying. You made my day, bratan xD

They're not forgotten, they just got lost inside the giant fortifications they were building.

Great pick to do a video on. Thanks for your work!

Really great video just found your channel and happy I did

As someone who spent days in the Lexicanum site, I love learning about new warhammer lore. Thanks Spartacus!

Huh... Dorn's legions are pretty awesome. It's fun to hear about them.

Forgotten? Hardly. I have a yearly rite of reading "Legion of the Damned"

Happy to hear Eldar are next. There's tons of videos about Adeptus Astartes online and comparatively few about other races.

You mentioned the legion of the damned. They sound interesting, but probably hard to give much detail about.

Noun. excoriator (plural excoriators) One who excoriates, or strongly denounces. A machine for stripping the skin from fruits.

Great video

I’m down for Eldar, but I’m hoping the White Scars and the Khan get a video soon too

Damn, is that a servitor baby?

I had no idea The Excoriators were a thing. Anything related to Dorn are amazing especially Black Templars. Biased opinion here though. Also never regret puns, ever.

Nah man, Valrak is keeping them alive.

Superb video, man. Dorn for the win.

Another awesome vid sparty! The sons of Dorn in my eyes are by far the most loyalist in the space marine ranks. Always holding the line and being a force that would happily fight and die to the last man standing. Sparty when you touch upon some imperial guard regiments do you think it would be possible to throw in some quotes said by members of the regiment? Imperial guard have some pretty awesome quotes

I think it would be pretty nifty if you would do an episode on the Deathwatch. Specifically which loyalist chapter was found wanting and was forbidden from joining the Deathwatch.

Good choice on a chapter focus!!

Zachariah 'Scourge' Kersh is a real BAMF!, Not a refined sword-master but a killer, fast, deadly and precise. The Excoriators Chapter maintains a grid of watch fortresses, situated in star systems around the Eye of Terror. "Semper Vigilare" was a star fort/bastion placed in Vhospa Mundi system a fringeworld, in orbit of Vhospa Mundi gas giant.

I simply cannot fathom what possessed one person to dislike this video. I guess they do not like informative videos about obscure space marine chapters.

The Raptors chapter, a Ravenguard second founding, would be something I personally would want to see. While not as popular as some of the other options, they do have a decent following among players. Reasonable-Marines at their best. lol.

Do a video on strike cruiser n battle barrage n other starships n theor size n difference

THAAAAAANK YOU!!

Let’s just not mention the Fists Exemplar xD

Excellent

The MOST stubborn chapter from all. If the die, they die standing as true sons of Dorn.

I am fortifying this position

one of my favorite books

As I was listening to this I kept feeling that their recruit planet would likely be Krieg.

1:25 can someone tell me what chapter the shoulder pad under the excoriators pad is called. It's the one with the two axes?

"fugue" is pronounced "fyoog", FYI. I really like your videos and am glad I found your channel. Just wish you didn't skirt the line of heresy so closely.

Crimson fists next or leigon of dammed

Why do i get deathguard vibes from them

Great

YES!!!! MY BOYS!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!

is it it not promounced like Excorism?

I wouldnt say there forgotten

fix the sound. and i got the fist comment and like

Please don't speak so flippantly about the God-Emperor. He is clearly a God and no one should even suggest otherwise. Thank you.
