The Mysterious Fate Of The Rainbow Warriors - 40K Theories 

@KaiserAfini Thank you, thank you so much, so very much. Why? Because I'm roflmao. :)

This actually made me laugh out loud

The Skitltarii, from the Adeptus Munchanicus

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR SKITTLES!

It would be funny if they turned into the sons of malice. Rainbows to monochrome. Rainbow warriors were based on aztecs - famous for cannibalism, sons of malice are known for cannibalizing enemies. Rainbow warriors were initially stated to be a founding chapter, before being written off as ultramarine successors... though it was hinted the ultramarines picked up the missing legionarres from one of the missing legions. One of the missing legions is legion 11, malice's favorite number... 11.

"Yey" Lord Dadornable

Taco Friday is the true path heretic

@Imperial Fist Astartes taco tuesday IS on friday. MWAHAHAHA CHAOS INTENSIFIES!

We need a book of Dorn to replace the Tao of Piglet. He has all the wisdom: "Follow me, and I will lead you on the true path to salivation"

Fools all of you... Due to the timey-wimey bullshit of the warp how would those aboard the vessels of our glorious imperial navy and various fleet based chapters be sure that it's the proper day to eat the sacred taco? Therefore logic dictates the taco must be eaten once a week period the day itself does not matter!

*tyranid bellys

Aye, they be here alright. It's Ribeye Monday!.

ive heard that in the new codex a mechanicus priest does a recording (a malfunction one) which says to have encounter them!! so dont leave my squats in oblivion pls

@@dolengea1523 they're back in Necromunda.

@@Deridus HELL YEAHHHHH

And now the live in Retconstania. On please forget street as neighbors to the Squats.

@@badgamemaster and with two tall guys called 2 and 11

Rainbow Warriors bearing their heritage with Pride. *cough cough*

Get on ze retcon train.

badgamemaster, aren’t the squats back in canon? I swore I read that somewhere

Well, it's hard to find a rainbow, they only come after a storm.... oh shit

@@notdoppler9833 Omg that would actually be cool.

The Rainbow Warriors were good while June Jones was their coach.

Naming a chapter a boat bombed for protesting against Nuclear against is something. But the name of the boat being actually a reference to a fake native american legend made up by evangelical Christians kinda kill the fun.

Yeah! Like the Purple Stars. Not menacing sounding enough.

@@iand3lond What are you talking about?

@@Samm815 rambow worriors are achualy in a native american legend.

Diiiiiooooooo!! I'm sorry I had to

I hear inquisitor Dio had to deal with the Night Lords a lot in his time, or Night People as he called them. Encounters with them were always preceded by Faces In The Window while his ship, the Holy Diver, found itself in warp transit. Once a puritan, Inquisitor Dio's descent into radicality seemingly began with reports in his journal about "Dreaming Evil," something he never elaborated on in the pages to follow. Ever since he gradually Pushed the boundaries of acceptable practice, but there was never any tangible evidence to suggest him Guilty of overstepping his boundaries. But as imperial records show, behavior like this always comes Before The Fall. It had been thousands of years since Inquisitor Dio's presence was last reported, nobody knows his fate, and perhaps some things are Better left In The Dark.

tbf, their anti-nuclear stance was not born out of fear of nuclear weapons, but because they simply preferred to end every life by bolter

I heard it was sunk by ork kommandos that smelled suspiciously like garlic.

Beware the Baguette II torpedoes

Those damn french.

That s the bad side of having tons of chapters

I smell araki syndrome

Except their homeworld was constantly appearing in SM codices along with their chapter heraldry. It may be that GW is either burying them to forget or just that no one has any interesting thing to do with them. They can give them a different name, such as what they did with the Space Sharks, but Rainbow Warriors never really had much fluff to begin with.

They used to be a founding Legion. Oh how they have fallen.

Now all they need to do is do that to the Primaris and I will be remarkably less of a bitter person.

that was the DGSE tho not the legion

The home world is one of the few planets to partially survive exterminatus, both poles suffered the full effects but life is still viable for those who inhabit the green piece on the equator.

@@SiliconBong Green Piece.....funny. Did you do that intentionally?

@@judowrestlerka Yeah, just throwing it out there to see if someone would get it...

@@SiliconBong hilarious

Yay. Mundane exposition.

thats Lord Adronable lol

I don't know if they were specifically named after it, but there was indeed a Greenpeace owned vessel named Rainbow Warrior, which was famously blown up by the French government.

Aye. Greenpeace had a ship called the a Rainbow Warrior. French Commandoes sank it in a New Zealand harbour.

@@andrewtennant1889 Quite a read - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinking_of_the_Rainbow_Warrior

Actually It's from a fake Native American legend made up by Evangelical Christians the boat's name was also inspired by this fake legend.

Paraptorkeet Creations the more you know

The gym and its locker rooms

To start with, the Rogue Trader book didn't have Chaos in it. In fact, Chaos, in its current form, didn't really exist in Fantasy yet either. Chaos would be introduced a few years later with the Realm of Chaos books. At the time, Rogue Trader didn't have many races and most of the models were imperial, only the Imperials had tanks, so in practice most fights would be between Space Marines vs Space Marines. Thus they had to provide justification as to why Imperials would fight other Imperials, the Badab War is the best example of this and it originates in Rogue Trader (and why I think later editions didn't have more conflicts like it, since there were plenty of non Imperial factions to pick fights against). The Imperium was also supposed to be far different from the current version, more like the Holy Roman Empire, a balkanized empire with many squabbling rulers fighting each other.

Wow, a joke about not about LGBTQ.

@@theinquisitionsparrot6749 You are ALL UP in this comment section and I can't tell if you're joking or genuinely triggered lol

With the Ravicorn. Look it up... your life will be changed.

Wish I noticed this thread earlier. I propose they were quietly rebranded as the burners chapter, cus the heat was on them after their last rainbow gathering and they needed to evade further attention from the inquisition when had their loud-ass rompfest ...freaky hippy ravers =P

My Monday release schedule hasn't changed in close to 4 years, so I dunno what you're on about lol

40K Theories can we make ‘merica jokes about the rainbow warriors?

@@40KTheories Uh...I'm in the Pacific Time Zone of the United States. So your videos usually come out around 8 PM on Sunday for me. But this time it was nearly 2 hours late. I was just a little concerned, is all.

@@VoiceOfTheEmperor They're always set to 6am UK time. Maybe it's due to daylight savings?

@@40KTheories Eh, most likely.

BRAIN HURT

WITH FAITH! PRAISE THE OMNISSIAH!

They took an Ork level of belief to work

Simple 80s sci-fi shenanigans. Have you seen the old rogue trader weapons? They are all tubes and corrugated pipes. Melded onto armour. Ah the good old days when fantasy fiction was allowed to be fantastic 😉

Glad it's not just me. Maybe they were wiped out by the Mechanicus to hush up the mess they made of the Bolters.

The Fire Lords chapter colours hurt the eyes as well.

The Salamanders got their paint scheme improved why can't others? Then again I am the kind of guy who if I had unlimited funds would paint a Raven Guard army in Vantablack...

My Little Space Marines.

With blue bodies, and rainbow accents. Defo equine vibes

@@bluestormpony So GW got sued by Hasbro, is what we are saying?

@@JimmyCrawford wouldnt be the first legal argument to wipe out a faction, malice only recently recovered from the metaphysical backlash of his incident

SHUTTUP YOUR NOT MY EMPEROR

@@theinquisitionsparrot6749 "Because he works for an Inquisitor." *Fires*

Dude... you and I watch the same types of videos... I swear it is eerie.

This isn’t a grifting lawboomer video smh

A shame really.

Seeing them on Fort Drum was... telling.

Wasn't it the Angels Resplendent who appeared in that novel?

I may be mistaken. The book was describing their armor as shifting from hues of different colors so my immediate thought was of a rainbow. Specifically it was during the flashback sequence to when the main character abandoned her order out of awe.

It was in the middle of chapter 2. Also noticed i misspelled the title. Edit: after skimming through the novel again, ive found where the angels resplendent make their appearance. In chapter 4 during another flashback sequence. I noticed it does identify them by name but the previous astartes it doesnt, only describing how ornate their armor is and the everchanging hues. It does talk about the iconography on a pauldron so it may be my own ignorance keeping me from knowing their chapter.

I know it’s been three years, but I’d love to see those sources for the Rainbow Warriors being one of the founding legions.

That sounds awesome.
