The Halo Stars EXPLAINED By An Australian | Warhammer 40k Lore 

Which Halo Device do you prefer? The one that destroys all sentient life in the galaxy or the one that turns you into a fat cannibalistic demi god. Tough choice What isn't a tough choice is clicking this link : majorkill.com/ and picking up some the best damn miniatures the world has even seen Or ya know... just rub one off here : www.patreon.com/majorkill

"It's really amazing how the term invulnerable loses its weight when you throw a MF into the sun" Best Line EVER!!!!!!

Commander: Stop your crusade Macharius: No Commander: Why not? Macharius: I don't want to Commander: But we can't see the Astronomican anymore Macharius: I don't care Commander: But... That doesn't make any sense Macharius: Too bad

Halo Stars, home of the vampiric xenomorphs, not to be confused with the tourist xenomorphs. Souvenir shop gets a bad rap, but most customers can't complain.

"The Halo stars are a horrifying and sometimes confusing place" "I mean, so far it's been practically tame- *4:26* _is....is that a Tau trooper using a melee weapon_ ?" *recoils in horror*

It's funny they planned on assassinating Macharius. He was war master, a high lord of Terre, and later canonized as a saint. Killing him would have been the greatest act of heresy since Horus and made the names of anyone involved as cursed as any of the traitor primarchs.

I’d like to think it’s where the old ones developed their most dangerous shit during the war in heaven, but never used them as they got wiped before they had a chance. Each planet was basically a science lab of sorts on a massive scale, which is why all of them are different, yet with some key similarities.

The Ghoul Stars are the rough neighborhood that is filled with both cultists and violent gangs, but the Halo Stars is fucking death trap that looks like a appealing resort.

2:37 They are the Death Spectres - a Space Marine Chapter from Corvus Corax's geneseed and their purpose is to ensure that the supernatural inhabitants of the Halo Stars and Ghoul Stars never again threaten the galaxy as they are stationed beyond the boundaries of the Imperium.

The Halo device kinda just sounds like a hectic version of crippling meth addiction

4:22 This scene encapsulates what "unfair" means to the extreme. One doesn't simply engage Astartes in melee as the Tau.

According to the lore, there were invasions from the Halo Stars by beings not from our universe. Not from the Warp, but said, 'Darker Places.' Yeah places worse than the Warp, is probably something no one wants to fight.

"acess to the patreon gives you access to...pause..battlemace hentai" Oh..someone has read the new IP requirements.

Sounds like there could be a cool story where a person has to use a halo device for some reason, a good person using it for some reason knowing that they'll have to be killed but there's an immediate reason for it that makes it necessary.

"There's a bit of Exodite in all of us." Yes. Yes there is. #DinosaurCavalry

My favorite part about the Halo Stars is how it shows that we've only really scratched the surface when it comes to the 40k universe. The idea that there could be even greater threats than Chaos lurking within the universe is so hard to wrap your mind around and just goes to show that whenever the Imperium thinks they have things under control, they really don't, not in the slightest.

Personal theory: the halo devices were weapons of last resort for whoever designed them, making their soldiers incredibly powerful. I say weapon of last resort because with the down side, they might not have expected their soldiers to live too long so who cares about down side twenty years from now?

1:16. Sounds good, so long as it isn’t commissioned hentai of the afore-mentioned arch enemy. That shit would be just too disturbing... even for Slaanesh.

When you said he was literally "Space Alexander the Great," you weren't kidding. The very same thing happened with the troops growing so desperate of home after a legendary sweep of new lands.

I never bothered checking what the Halo stars are, so for me, this video was genuinely educative. Damn Majorkill, you managed to REALLY teach something today... who would have thought?

"Nearly immortal" and "nearly invulnerable" in 40K is such a waste of time, all things considered. Know what really invulnerability looks like? Hit it with the Thunder Hammer and watch the hammer explode!

Macharius did not actually pull back. There is a series called the Macharian Crusade which explains exactly what happened. Suffice to say there was Inquisition level series of conspiracy involved and our boy, Macharius, died a hero (according to the official accounts).

You know you have like 10K kinds of balls of steel when you go through an area of space that not even the Tyranids don't dare to go through.

Part of Macharius' other problem was that he was facing SERIOUS insurmountable health issues. Book Three of the Macharius trilogy went into detail about it.

Why do I find the idea of the halo universe taking place inside the Halo starts amusing? lmao. I know it doesn't add up but it's amusing nonetheless

Majorkills been nice to timmy lately im scared :edit wow 17 likes lets all be scares together

An interesting thing to say when people can’t figure out what doesn’t make sense that’s an “ishYou not and not an ishMe” (it’s kind of bad but it works i think)

The Slaugth aka the Maggot Men were confirmed to have been sighted there by the Inquisition. In addition the Rangdan might also be hiding there as well. As for the Halo Devices it's theorized that both the Slaugth and the Rangdan might have some sort of connection to them.

that one dude really was like alexander the great first to cross the indus sense dianitus and i would have crossed the hyphasis to if YOU had not coward in fear!

As a relatively new BFGA player, i have noticed that there are fleets in the imperium intended to patrol the borders of halo stars. Just before seeing this video i have called one in to help halt an large chaos intrusion. After watching this video I think that those guys could stop invasion twice the size on their own.

3:44 The Soul Drinkers looked like the Loyalist Emperor's Children Chapter under the Imperial Fists successor chapters' list.

After watching this video, the main halo star system, sounds like a great opportunity for GW to introduce the 40k equivalent of fantasy/age of sigmar's vampire counts.

Video idea: What the fuck are Arch Mechanicus ships really? The Speranza was straight up alive and could fire mini black holes from hidden cannons....

What if the Halo Stars is the last haven for an ancient human empire from the Dark Age of Technology

Fun video idea, discussing some of the major forge worlds list style. Mostly because toaster jokes

I'm rooting for a slaugh stronghold, and maybe their home system. They are a cool race I'd like to see more of.

I would be so happy if Majorkill branched off into doing occasional Halo lore videos with his style.

One day we'll find that one gal who frequents this channel. Must be a special lady.

As someone who will be playing Infinite tomorrow. I'm ready to learn more 40k.

Tertiary is pronounced, TER-SHE-AIRY

Halo lore, specifically it's beginning, is similar with 40k when it comes to ancient beings creating sentient life to populate the galaxy. But in halo their names precursors and one of their children races (forerunners) killed most of them because they gave a totally legit title to man instead. Those who survived turned themselves into dust Wich the galaxy later snorts... But the dust was corrupted and became the flood Wich cults formed around it and thus it spread. Caused man and forerunners to fight with old man dieing out, the flood caused said fight because vengeance. The forerunners were getting punished so hard they had to build the giant onion rings you see today to kill themselves and repopulate the galaxy thus the flood starved, except those the forerunners kept alive because why not.

0:55 "Aaah, Fresh Meat!" - The Butcher from Diablo I, probably

I like how Majorkill content improved over the years. Then he talked about common topics. Now he is into details that no one explains. You deserve to be the nr. 1 warhammer lore channel.

I'm an Australian listening to this so for me this is just a dude explaining 40k

This is more like it - glad you're back It's Ter She Airy

Something terrible has happened......

The rest of the halo starts are the places where the ghoul star inhabitants tell their kids to stay away from

This is the funniest video of yours that I have watched in a while, as I am a new viewer I genuinely love your videos but this was *chefs kiss* especially the comments about attaching halo devices. So good!

It's really amazing how term "invulnurable" looses it's weight, when you throw mf in the sun🤣 That's one of the reasons, why I love Majorkill

Watches both Majorkill and Arch. Enjoys watching Majorkill talk shit about Arch. Enjoys watching both of them in their two different length formats fill 40k lore with profanity and hyperbole.....but actually not that much hyperbole because 40k is literally that fucking awful.

So, the Eastern Edge of the Galaxy could be said to have some “Fringe benefits.” I’ll just see myself out, thank you.

Please do a video on all minor xenos that would be cool

"Give me your soul and I'll give you 3 c****." -Arch Daemon Majorkill

Imagine if a chaos marine got implanted with a chaos device? Demon prince here I come! Then imagine what would happen to a chaos primarch. They’d be a match for the emperor!

Makes me wonder why the imperium doesnt keep a few dozen halo devices on key worlds. For about 5 years you have the perfect near invulnerable soldiers. Imagine if like a dozen of them had aided the imperium during the 13th black crusades.

Reality in the eastern fringe is anchored by Robby G’s massive aurumite… geneseeds.

Considering you cant even take a shit without it strengthening Chaos, it is awesome to see a horror that has nothing to do with Chaos for a change.

@Major Kill I would like to thank you for being the Muse of my latest, Let's fix the Warp! theory. From a Tech Support stand point I am surprised I didn't think of this before. "Have you tried turning it off and then back on again?" You get a hold of the Eldar, tell them we're going to perform a small culling war on the Dark Eldar, in a dual front war attempt to kill she who thirsts, and in the "year" that we are doing this with the Eldar in the Webway, we put every human on every world into hibernation. With Relatively "all" the Eldar confined to the Webway, and all the human's down, Galactic Scale, No emotions = no Warp food. the only thing left are a "few" Astartes Chapters with orders to simply extermanatus anything actively predating us during this down-time, to keep the Tyranids and Orcs from taking advantage, and the Grey Knights, who enter the Eye of Terror and make sure everything there dies, or "molded" into something more usable. Then we bring worlds back "online" one by one, maintaining control of the Eye of Terror as we do so. This is how we do the Eldar thing, and Craft Warp Gods instead of letting our sub-conscious have all the fun.

I knew 40k couldn't resist having a vampire faction.

Bloodangel: *attaches halo device* Bloodangel: "Huh, nothing's changed..."

The inquisition always has a solution there are very few thing that can survive the planet blowing up or being thrown in the sun

Honestly....it would be hilarious to see a parody collab video of arch vs major when major wins the subscriber war. Now what kind of battle that would be I'll let fate decide xD might be a DOW match,regicide...Paradox-Billiards-Vostroyan-Roulette-Fourth-Dimensional-Hypercube-Chess-Strip Poker, anything XD

This kind of just sounds like GW trying to leave open the possibilty of Flesh Eater Courts in 40k.

the legend is you old chum, I think your constant goal setting is a great contributor to your growing success. Keep it up!

Thank you very much for doing this video. I got into 40k in college, but never had the money to invest in it, so I got really into the lore, instead, and the gamer in me was immediately drawn into the Dark Heresy and Rogue Trader gaming lines, by FFG, where the Koronus Expanse is featured. I've been playing D&D for over 20 years, but my Rogue Trader character is still my most advanced, detailed character, at over 40 MS Word pages long of stats, exploits, kit, and crap. It's just a shame my RPing friends never got into the 40k IP, and wanted to play Rogue Trader. Anyway, it was a great deal of fun to hear about the outer edge of where human ambition can go, before it gets reminded that the galaxy is huge, and there are nightmares made manifest out there.

Wow! wasn't expecting to see my art on this video, it's all good and I feel honored but next time ask me :) By the way I love your channel and your takes on 40k lore.

Love the Halo jokes.

dude your videos are the best, really like the way you approach things regarding the 40k universe. love from brazil🇧🇷

Hey , just wanted to say that i think you really nailed the intro this time, and that you got really good at those "facing the camera" intros. Have a great day !

You perfectly summed up the halo Lore in a single sentence.

The Halo stars are one of my favorite parts of 40K. I rank them from worst to go or live to best place in this order. 1. Ghoul Stars cause even the Nids and Necrons are messed up by it. 2. Halo stars cause it's still scary and dangerous just not as bad as the Ghoul stars. 3. Eastern Fringe due to the most powerful Necron Dynasties being their and could slaughter you with ease, and if they are not interested then you have to deal with the Tau trying to invade or subvert you. 4. The Veiled region as their is no massive power their minus a smaller Necron empire that is not as violent.

Just discovered ya videos. Keep making them and ill keep watching them. Good effort man

give the halo device to a primaris marine, I wanna see what happens.

I want to believe that the lost second and eleventh Primarchs and their legions are hiding out their beyond known space.

2:18 The grimdark version of Galactus the World Eater.

"it's really amazing how the term invulnerable losses it's weight when you throw a mf at the sun". Had me Rollin 🤣🤣🤣

Yo I'm American and I've been getting into warhammer for like the whole month, binging your videos and others just wanted to say I'm loving the content thank you for working so hard on these

We should have a warhammer game like halo/gears (in the way of having a super cool campaign, dark but fun to play, that you can play with friends in coop) vehicles and stuff like that and of course: Epic space gregorian chants.

Nice to see you as a host and not just as a voice over. Definitely a move in the right direction bro

Loving your work mate keep it up !

1:30 TTS Rogal Dorn: *"CEASE."*

Please do more Calixis Sector lore related video. The setting of the Calixis sector is one of the richest and most detailed of the entire franchise but it got forgotten with the death of Dark Heresy, Rogue Trader and all the other RpG. There are planty of crazy things like the Tyrant Star, the legacy of the Haarlock RT family, an entire sub-sector of ancient roman empire Wannabe secessionist and an anti-inquisition faction leaded by a shady and probably nerdy Prospero survivor. Man that’s a lot of good shit...

You wanna do a video on Bruva Alfabusa going down? He's the whole reason I'm in 40k.

in my opinion this is one of the best Warhammer 40k lore channel, is not boring, is not long and is complete.

“lord inquisitor! somethings stirring in the ghoul stars again, what do we do?“ “heresy, lots of heresy“

The Rangda are from the Eastern part of the Galaxy and are believed to come from the Ghoul Stars (given the location of Advex-mors where they were first encountered), so not the Halo Stars region of the Halo Stars. So if they are still out there (big IF), they are in the Ghoul Stars...assuming the Dark Angels of the Order of the Broken Claws didn't finish the job during the Rangdan Xenocides. But I would add that most of those guys are from the Dreadwing and Firewing and they are extremely thorough when conducting extermination campaigns. Sources: The Black Books (Horus Heresy), Specifically book 9 "Crusade"

You should start streaming bro. I’d love to see you on NoPixel 😂

One of the funniest vids, never change lad

Love how there finally investigating this area in books finny atleast in the necron ones

Love the channel here's a question that I have is there anywhere in the 40K universe that chaos is afraid of

Kinda doubt you'll actually see this but i'd love to see video dedicated to the flayed. Nothing like getting skullf*cked by an even more terrifying offshoot of the necron.

As a bit of a Halo fanatic myself, I think you hit the description right on the head 👍

0:11 I was actually thinking of Red Vs. Blue from Rooster Teeth

I'm out. TTS is gone, and I feel nothing but rage and hate for warhammer. I really liked your videos, but I need to forget that warhammer even exists. Could you please use your influence to call for a crusade? This injustice must be ended.

I agree about the xeno corruption aspect, getting more of that would be fantastic

In a Universe where travelling across star systems runs the risk of being raped by demons the Halo Stars must be pretty fucken bad.

Trader"I been to worser places then the ghouls stars" me"you liar"

My desire for humor wills me to subscribe. But my loyalty to Arch stays my hand. I know how they must of felt before the Heresy. To stay loyal to the Emperor or follow the charismatic Warmaster.

There needs to be more stories made regarding the Halo Stars (in general, not just the North-Western section). There’s a lot of fertile ground there for all manner of cool lore to be conceived, as well as potential threats to not just the Imperium, but the Galaxy at large. A lost human world now ruled by surviving Men of Iron... or maybe even Men of Stone?

Your halo plot synopsis is pretty spot on actually.
