The Lords of Silence are TERRIFYING 

"Mortarion cannot let go of the past" - err yeah, thats an understatement, carrying the tormented soul of his adoptive father just to torture him endlessly, definitely doesn't indicate he has dwelling issues lmao

Vorx represents the purist of Death Guard thinking, slow, methodical, planned so well he simply walks to the outcome which he knew all along.

If anyone's read the Death Guard book where Imperial guard have to fight them, they're terrifying.

It's arguable that Vorx displayed some honour when he swore to the Chapter Master of the White Consuls that he just wanted a duel, and that he wouldn't take the White Consul's geneseed... he then went on to destroy the geneseed rather than use it for Chaos. That seemed kind of good of him.

Loved the bit where the guardsman and the plague marine have the closest thing to a genuine heart to heart about their fall to chaos. "...there are worse fates than an honest death."

I just find it fascinating how Nurgle, who represents Stagnation has the most visibly changed Marines... Yet Tzeentch lord of change has the ones that literally *can't* change (anymore)

My favorite part in The Lords of slient is when Vraxs is just talking to some random human excited by the thought that she had a kid and hopes to meet him someday.

"Shooting the shit" is a very different activity on Barbarus.

They did do something good, Vorx destroyed the white consuls geneseed bank to stop the word bearers getting it. Also most of them are OG death guard except whatsiface the one that recently turned.

I still wonder about that one Nurgling with the helmet. Did the Plague Marine just let him wear it for a bit or something lol.

0:28 Who wants to bet he's going to kit bash the new Night Lords Kill Team to be First Claw?

SEVENTH! MOST FAVORED OF THE GRANDFATHER!

I really liked the character Dragan because he thinks differently to the other plague marines because he hasn’t been one for as long as them and is not really that nurgely yet. He can still take of his helmet which is rare for plague marines

My reading list for 40k is a Herculean at this point that book sounds awesome. Great video!

Lords of Silence is in my top 3 of 40k books I've read. Very well written and extremely ingaging, loved every minute and I can't wait to reread in 5-6 years when I have hopefully forgotten how the story goes.

I love the Death guard and the lords of silence is definitely a book I’ve been meaning to pick up.

Literally finished this book yesterday, love my nurgly boys so dearly

The lords of silence was my first Black library book after I got it in a humble bundle pack alongside requiem infernal. In the end i loved Requiem infernal way more but DAMN did this have some cool moments. Vorx's bromance relationship with Philemon was a good amount of oddly "wholesome" that matches Nurgle but if you want *fucking metal* then Vorx's book that collects the name of everyone he has killed until his own death is easily the coolest idea in the book. Althought it can't not be said that this book also gives Typhon saying he doesn't give a "freshly squeezed shit" about attacking ultramar which was also perfect.

“Everything is sticky and they all have a little bit of depression” is a perfect description of the aftermath of an Emperor’s Children party

The Lords of silence is easily one of my favorite 40K books and to be honest I listen to it frequently, it's become my comfort book. I disagree that they have no caring, remember that they genuinely feel that the horrors they bring are joyous gifts. Vorks comments that even what appear to be poor gifts show their value at a later date. Both Vorks and Philimon (spelling?) both show a great deal of respect and patience for their unchanged servants. Vorks himself apologizes and thanks an unchanged crew member who questions him openly about a tactical decision during the void battle at Agrepina. And Philimon chats respectfully with Capt Danteen, even suffers his insults with patience. Vorks muses that he doesn't harbor any ill will towards imperials considering them misguided and in need of salvation. Of course, 99%of their other interactions with humans consist of tearing claws and blades dripping with toxins, undead horrors and people vomiting their windpipes out... This war band, or at least Vorx and his inner circle are remarkably philosophical, introspective and even generous in their way.

the lords of silence is the first Warhammer novel i ever read, and one of my favorites! glad to see them get some shine

Papa Nurgle blesses this video!

Awesome book! We really need a sequel - what happens to them when they attack ultramar? I hope they are fine...

Loved this book, reread it whenever I’m btw books and see it on the shelf

This was a fantastic video on one of my favorite books. I really enjoy the character Dragan as he gives us a very realistic look at how chaos marines keep up their numbers with “recruitment”. I liked that he still had the youthful anger and vitality that most of the unbroken were beginning to forget. Another final thing I deeply enjoyed was how they worshipped Nurgle as the true god, and the other chaos gods were just pretenders.

I LOVE the Lords of Silence novel.

I love the deathguard and I love the lords of silence it was the first warhammer 40k book I read all the way through I really badly need to re read it, its just so good

"Everything is sticky and they all have depression." sounds like life

So I just started reading the book and it's good so far - I am a little disappointed it isn't a trilogy like the Nightlords books because, personally I think every Legion if not every Chapter should have a trilogy attached to them but I digress. I've never really been a fan of Plague Marines as a concept, I enjoy the play style - big, slow moving and high hp monsters but Nurgle is probably my second to least Chaos God, just ahead of Slaanesh.

I will go as far as to say Lords of Silence are the poster boys of the Death Guard. There are many nurgle warband and many of them fight in their own way. Some like ship battles some like using machines and some like Typhus are so aggressive and restless they could get along with World Eaters. But Lords of silence are what people always assume Death Guard to be. Slow, steady, plague focused, scheming but loyal to Morty/nurgle, and sometimes jolly. Wish we had a novel like that per legion. Just a novel showing how typical chaos legion marines behave most of the time when they are not on Black Crusades or other huge campaigns.

I really wish there was a model based on the terminator leader and his fleshy nurgle Chainsword

it's criminal you didn't mention them calling nurglings little lords

I like when the fellow is turning to a new Deathguard at the end and the Plague Surgeon literally talks him from the edge and he accepts his fate.

Hey Arthur, are you gonna make a dedicated playlist for this series of successors/warbands? Mainly wondering as I feel it'll be easier to find them and such.

The Lords of Silence book has great lore, good characters, and an editing style that makes you feel like you have dementia! So it's like the perfect Nurgle book!

I’ll say, their interactions with the Nurglings are adorable, as is the semi cute quote about the daemon farting liquidly in the crook of Philemon’s armor. Or was it Vorx? Not sure. But I also will say they are rather kind to Dantine. I really really liked his character, especially how he finally embraced his corruption as a dreg. I have to wonder, Vorx wanted him for some higher purpose, but what I like to think is that through some Nurgley goodness they can make him into a plague marine even though he’s a mature male. Just my hopes & dreams.

Ok I really need to pick up this one on audio book alongside the one about a pig who turns out to be a daemon of Nurgle. Seriously, out of the 4, Nurgle 's maybe the scariest to me at least due his corruption seeping so silently through out the scenery it makes current horror movies look like they were written for children.

Lords of Silence has amazing description of what is to worship chaos god and why you would do so. Specially when they change from the marine to the human pov. Despite lord of silence never do anything good, they also never felt to be "sadistic" as nightlord or emperor children. They seen to view everything as means to a end, they don't have great ambition like abaddon but they do have objectives and strive for it Another great point is how devastating is "staganation" to worship of nurgle in barbarus 2.0 we see how many marines just stopped and having a obsession seen to be essential to keep things running if you are working for nurgle. If anything was the parallel with the nightlord ominibus that annoyed me, having a secret probably mad dreadnought, having a special ship, playing who betray who game with another traitor legion while working with them, I vaguely remmber that there was a very powerful power

We think bleach, bolter rounds with bleach filled warheads, dipped in penicillin and blessed by The Emperor. Alternatively; fire. *Lots and lots* of fire.

Cough cough audiobook is on RU-vid cough cough , a great book listened to it it while painting my DG

Thank god this video popped up as a suggestion RU-vid literally blocked you from me feed completely recently, just to find new six videos waiting to be binged. Great video and keep up the good work man👏🏽

Just a reminder that Mortarion tattle told on Magnus to his Dad because Magnus' legion used magic.

One of my top 5 30k/40k novels. Vorx is best boi.

the nurglings in this book are the best comic relief I've seen in a while

The Lords of Silence was the first 40k book I read and it set the bar really freaking high.

Literally finished this book and went to open RU-vid, and this is the first video I see 💀

Never knew of these guys, but they definitely seem interesting even among other Death Guard factions. Plus their name is awesome and I love it.

Found a new addition to my TBR pile, it would seem.

I picked death guard for my army and got a box of plague marines. I’m working on my second one this week.

Hallo Herr Arthur! Ich freue mich dich wieder zu sehen!

The Lords of Silence are the direct antithesis to everything the Imperium is. It's even described in the book, as Dantine comes to grips with his situation, it's described as a fist that has been clenched for an entire lifetime finally and slowly relaxing. Dantine has known no other perspective from that point prior, and then he gets to experience what the opposite polarity truly is. And that end of that polarity is dark, damp, reeking, abhorrent to everything he knows, entirely confusing, and yet impossibly attractive. He eventually succumbs to it and embraces it despite his senses, despite his past, and despite his own conscious knowing, possibly for his betterment. I believe these esoteric stories weaved into the fabric of 40k are meant to teach us about psychology, emotions, metaphysics, and even ontology. Point being, the Imperium capitalizes upon slavery, while the Lords of Silence, once given "freedom", instinctively use that freedom to conquer, defile, and "correct" those imperials they come across. If reality is defined by perspective, the the Lords of Silence are dialed in af, and are possibly more benevolent, righteous, and honorable than any of the loyalist chapters of Astartes. They are essentially removing pain from a tormented, helpless, hopeless galaxy, and replacing it with peace- serving a true and higher purpose, that of rebirth granted by The God.

It's interesting how they are so conniving, planning and users of sorcery, and how much nurgle also hates tzeentch who at to some degree have these same qualities. Nurgle and tzneentch, despite being "opposites", in many ways seem to be the most alike of the gods there is.

They are in a fashion honourable tho, the way Vorxs is with the Astartes chapter master

Death guard and emoerors children scare me most

Well the lords of silence are absolutely terrifying indeed. I find it funny they love nurglings tho.

Having more novels about end point chaos marines under the whorship of the other gods sounds great. I'd like to see one following a Khornate warband where while yeah, has a lot of anger and general hostility toward others and each other, but have a few jumpcut scenes where you have khornate marines just being jarringly almost civil with one another in among the ruins of a city, like one marine is trying his best to perform bonsai tree cutting while they talk and wait for their chaos lord's new orders, only to jumpcut again back to a few days ago where those same marines were doing the whole "maim,kill,burn" thing.

I'm calling it. Next episode is gonna be about the Blood Ravens.

Burialgoods has a great narration about Vorx and though he seems like a nice enough person at first you quickly realize how screwed up he is. Not sure if the transcript is canon or just based on the character

Lord of Silence is doing to the Death Guard what Talos's trilogy did for Night Lords. I hope Emperor's Children receive something like that.

With how chaos legions armour tend to change color based on their god and activities, I'm surprised the Emperor children are not doing white armour

Hail Nurgle, and Hail the Lords of Silence!

Hell yeah, death guard

I love how the Death Guard from their own perspective are always viewed as a buncha silly lil guys

I loved the Lords of Silence book, one of my favorite perspectives of Grandpa's family

New here absolutely love the channel. Not telling what to do, but could you please put these vids in a play list pretty please 😅

I’m betting the DG are 420 like 24/7/365. Every day is Halloween for the DG!

How come you didn't bring up the imperial guard that has his heart removed and placed in a bag then let be on the ship

DEATH GUARD!!!!!!! PRAISE THE GRANDFATHER!!!!!!! 🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰

the personification of the Ugly Bastard Tag

God I love deathguard

UGH OH STINKY

"Did I ever tell you that my favourite colour is blue?" --Tzeentch--

I have never heard or read much about the different death guard war bands

Easiest ways to beat the Dwath Guard….. Soap and Water ..!.!.!.

I think that the lords of silence are a little to close to reaguler death-guard to justify being there own faction, but, I love the OG death-guard so I think the fricken awesome 👌

Ever considered what the Death Guard smell like? Puke,shit,piss,rot. Cheese...because infection can smell like cheese. Horrific to think about it.

Excuse me! Vorx gave some water!

Weren't the Night Lords pre chaos kind of nice in a twisted way that they inflicted so much fear through their brutality that they prevented further death? Yeah it's messed up, and yeah their victims suffered horribly, and yeah they're sadists, but they did prevent a long of death by stopping rebellion before it started.

I think you’d like the True Sons warband, chaos marines that are still Sons of Horus

Love them. Love mortarion. Love typhus. Love me DADDY NURGLE.

cool, nice Pics 👍

Oooohh The Purge sound neat, i haven't heard of them what's their deal

Why has everyone started saying some sort of version of "let's get into it?"

You have set a low bar for "sort of kind behavior", my friend. Nice to nurglings?

Their logo looks way to goofy like a overcomplicated logo from rogue trader cof coff coof sister of purification cof cof

Skaven yet?

Which "Warhammer Horror" book ?! There are several with this subtitle, unless I am missing something.

Youre the best, arthur :]

Lords Of Silence is one of the best 40K books I've ever read. It's horrible and disgusting in all the right ways.

The problem with all plague marines is they are sticky...

Nurgle, the god of stinky sticky grossness. Hims muh fav.

BROTHER BRING THE FLAMER, THE HEAVY FLAMER!😂

My fav 40k book 👌🏻👍🏻 i love it

2:51 so, the whites on the Emperor's Children's armour is just c*m

Is this guy H John Benjamin? He really sounds familiar.

For the salamanders I’d love to see some schizo take again with want ever chapter you choose tho I think the storm giants would be interesting

So erm uh, 21st Cursed founding chapters when 👉👈

Didnt i see a Tyranids video yesterday?

mewing guard

I love them, i think it showcases how interesting death guard can be in a sea of mediaocracy, im really tired of plague marines being cannon fodder to show of how strong ultra marines are
