Someone plz buy Kitten so I don't have to keep using my shittyass paint job as his product photo : majorkill.com/products/kitten Or ya know, just keep jerkin your gerkin by lookin here : www.patreon.com/majorkill

Immortality kind of seems like a con when you realize you're living forever in the 40k universe.

I choose Gork and Mork! For a greater Waaaaaagh!!

Pros: become immortal, have infinite power, believing that magnus did nothing wrong. Cons: becoming Slaanesh’s fleshlight

Ironically, improving quality of life across the Imperium would actually be a great way of combatting Chaos...

''Pros of joining Chaos'' Yes Inquisitor, this video right here!

Being a follower of Nurgle is the best thing that can happen when you join Chaos. You feel no pain, no fear, you love life, you got plenty of comrades who love you as much as you love them. And the most important: Your patron god will never abandon you, put you in the meatgrinder or sacrifice you for some greater good, he loves you all equally. The downside is that you are a rotting corpse but there are way way way worse things in the 40k Universe.

Tzeetch is historically a bad pick, as being an embodiment of hope and treachery means Tzeetch has little intention of rewarding effort. It’s directly stated that Lords of Change delight in giving power to beggars and ignoring devoted sorcerers. The only people who become Tzeetch daemon princes are those who have even larger ambitions then godhood and true immortality, ie insane people.

Pro’s : Slaanesh loves me Cons : Slaanesh 𝑳𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒔 me

Majorkill videos are what got me into warhammer, thanks for introducing me to the hobby mang

Pro: you look amazing Con: You lose your plot armor

I have come to the rather brutal conclusion that instead of Khorne and Tzeentch, I would probably be corrupted by Slaanesh over an agonising period of self destruction and blackout drunk binges.

So Essentially, to reduce chaos recruitment the Imperium has to raise the standard of living for its subjects. Honestly, makes sense so we know it'll never happen. Just. Like. In. Reality.

Guilliman said it best. If the common Imperium citizen already lives a bad life that feels like hell, then joining Chaos isn't going to be much different. Heck it's probably going to look appealing like Majorkill said.

To those asking “Why the fuck would anyone join Tzeentch” …well they probably don’t. I think most Tzeentchian followers get sucked into it like Magnus and that attempting to EXIT the cult is actually more dangerous than going along with the scheming and political maneuvering

Many Traitors didn't choose Chaos initially--they just sided with their Primarch, but realized the pull of Chaos too late to avoid it.

Traitor Astartes in the horus heresy says "I'm joining chaos because it's for a friend a battlebrother that join chaos so just to cheer him up" That is why no convincing needed to join chaos sometimes

"You will be constantly depressed and empty, only feeling anything at all when you commit the most depraved and heinous actions" Oh shit i didn't even realize i was a follower of Slaanesh

What about Undivided though? Choosing to balance the aspects of each Chaos god sounds like a good idea in theory, but Chaos being Chaos, I get the feeling that instead of standing on a middle ground, taking a bit from every god, you'd end up a crazed lunatic, with contradicting urges and thoughts from every extreme. Then again, GW cares so little about Undivided that maybe there's no actual answer outside of "haha u become evul lololol".

The way I see it Chaos is like a drug, some people don't realize how bad drugs are until it's too late. Others do realize but still do it anyway. And like a drug it starts off small, but then you crave more of it to feel the same satisfaction. By the time you realize it's got it's hooks on you it's hard to get them off. So yeah don't do drugs or chaos kids.

pros: you get what you desire cons: you don't get what you desire and become a slave to chaos

#1 recruiting tool for Chaos - The High Lords of Terra and the Ecclesiarchy making life so intolerable for so many people.

If I'm not mistaken, Chaos also offer afterlife to those followers that die before gaining daemonhood. However, that afterlife is connected to the god they "sell their soul" to, so it depends on perspective whether one would consider it as paradise or hell. Khorne's followers probably fight amongst each other eternaly, Slaanesh's followers experience eternal orgies, Nurgle's followers roam eternally through his garden (or even become part of it), Tzeentch's followers probably spend eternity roaming his realm filled with forbidden knowledge, and followers of Chaos Undivided (and probably lesser gods of Chaos) just roam Formless Wastes. While their Warp Reflection (aka "Soul") gets consumed by Chaos Gods/daemons, their mind and consciousness probably experience this. And if they devoted themselves to the philosophy to that part of Chaos, it isn't exactly bad deal for them. Just my opinions...

I have never actually watched a proper episode of TTS. I still heard "the new model is Kitten" and legit screamed in my car. Majorkill keeps giving reasons to feel good about a subscription.

Railing warp dust, and the ever expanding pleasures of Slannesh are simply the best. Sure it gets ever harder to feel it in but damn it feels great.

I personally believe that titsnitch does hand people a contract of terms and conditions to potential followers but that’s it so long and complicated and written in thousands of different languages that no one really understands it.

Only guy that can *partly* convince me to tarnish myself for spikes

Of course Major Kill makes a Kitten model after I buy Trajaan to turn him into Kitten, but before I painted him. I am happy, all Custodes players need a Kitten model

Ordo Hereticus wants to know your location.

Already having enough power at your fingertips to perform an action that will *ensure* your elevation to daemon-prince, seems like the only really logical scenario to join Chaos.

Thanks to Total Warhammer 3 the Nurglings makes me want to join Papa Nurgle.

1:14 It would have been awesome to see Majorkill have a voice role in Alfabusa's TTS show.

You shall not tempt me, heretic! The Emperor Protects!

What about chaos undivided, my guy. Probably is much harder to achieve than just signing up with one God but seems like it might be the best choice if you can qualify for it. Also Malal.

The way you described Slaaneshi followers at 05:03 basically describes what it feels like to have Borderline Personality Disorder. No wonder Slaanesh is my favorite!

A lot of warp spaghetti content lately,much apprecciated

The prospect of wielding powerful magic, being able to have all drugs and pleasure as you want, unable to be affected by disease and death or even just wanting to be as strong as the average body builder are all appealing… unfortunately the prices are often too high for most people of the standard Imperium citizen.

As someone relativly new to the hobby, your passion for wh40k and TTS always puts a smile on my face. I never skip your promotions, or adbreaks cuz you're just that entertaining. EDIT: The Lord empereor thanks you for your Service

I’m new to 40k and I have to say you do an awesome job of putting out good information, with a great sense of humor thrown in. Awesome stuff, man.

Slaanesh; -pros; endless booty -cons; walking like a cowboy for eternity

Actually some of the best 40k content on youtube with the humor, video length, and scripting. But the real question is, which chaos god would you join if you wanted to join? Khorne seems like an easy choice for me in the grimdark universe. Plus it somewhat memes on the Blood Raven's Blood Rage as you descend into more berserker-like tendencies, which I find hilarious that anyone can become a mini angry boi.

Turns out Majorkill has the voice for a Custodes as well as the bod and spear. Nice 👌 Edit: I change my mind. GW, we found a voice actor for the Catachan Fighters

The most persuasive thing the Archenemy can say to a Space Marine, "You won't have to listen to Guilliman."

I am actually of the believe that Chaos would be much more powerful if they had a better salespitch. Like if they tried to show Chaos like Uriah did in that TTS Voxcast (rest in peace)

I miss Emperor TTS 🥺

Yes interrogator chaplain this heresy video right here

i just have to say i have been watching your videos for a couple months now and they got me back into warhammer i used to paint them when i was younger then forgot about them i got some deathwatch marines and all new paint and i just want to say thank you for getting me back into the lore and this awesome hobby man looking forward to every video you put out

Seeing the kitten model reminded me how much I miss TTS already.

Pros: You don't have to slave away for a corpse light years away who is currently being used as a sock puppet by Guilliman and the Custodes to rubber-stamp whatever they feel like doing. You get to raise your head from the back-breaking tyranny that is the foundation of your very existence. You get to have actual power over your own life, at least in the aspects of your chosen sponsor. Cons: You...umm...well according to the 40k lore your soul gets destroyed in the Warp anyways, so...umm...I dunno.

My heart sank when you said Alfa moved on to different projects, I hope if GW cools down with the prohibition hammer he would come back but I’m afraid that it’s been too long for him to come back in, I would’ve loved to see kitten be revived with the proteus protocol.

I have no words on how happy you made me, I Love Kitten, the Model looked great so I had to buy it. Once I get it all painted I will send a pic. Since today is my Birthday I decided that I had to have it as a present to myself. Keep up ther Fracking Amazing Work my Good man.

So, the main issue I heard about new Maugan Ra model is it’s not lore accurate due to detachable magazines of his Shuriken cannon. The guy said , that Maugan Ra has some Familiarity with Bonesinging, so he can produce ammo infinitely and without reload

In the 40K universe Chaos is the only metaphysical truth. All other factions are manipulated by lies about the universe.

That's gonna be an instant buy for me! Now only if we can get a Brother Santoni's model.

flesh is temporary , omnissiah is forever

Your channel is what got me into warhammer

What about the pros and cons of joining Chaos Undivided? Would it be like having the general chaos pros and cons without the pros and cons of joining a sertain faction?

The question is, why not! Korne, gets his anger out in the open. Nurgle, you can get sick, but never die from it. Slaneesh, lots of sexy time, and fun disco outfits. Tzeentch, always up for something new, and magic!

Opening scene...most righteous!

Wow, the Aeldar long looker model looks cool. Nice sculpt. It should work as a harlequin, with the right paint.

Pros: Lots of potential for 'promotion' (if you work hard enough you might make Demon Prince someday) Cool Outfits Mad Superpowers Favoured Employees enjoy a number of benefits up to and including: being teleported away at the last second from impending death, Being revived when killed, and becoming the personal representative of your Boss, with all the perks of doing so. Cons: You just sold your soul to hell as a deposit payment. Everything that isn't Chaos aligned now hates you and wants you dead. Even your Chaotic Coworkers Don't necessarily like you. Company Bonding can get a bit rough, The Safeword is [Sound impronounceable by Mortal Tongues] You will be experimented on. Either physically or in Pathogen development. Or both. Employee safety not guaranteed (he cares not from where the blood flows, only that it does). If you die before making a good enough impression on your new Boss, it's into the warp spaghettification chamber with your deposit. 90% of Entry level employees leave unsatisfied- (and brutally dismembered)

Yes inquistor, this video right here

5:08 "you will be constantly depressed and empty".... so just me? slaanesh has got me again fuck

That skit in the intro was cool :)

Chaos is one of the most slippery slopes out there. Khorne will gradually make you not just want, but need to kill. Not killing in enough time begins to physically hurt you. It's like an addiction. Chaos takes their basic aspects and pushes it to 11 and only the few who can handle such stress can even dream of achieving the end goal. It's a strange sense of once you start there is no salvation besides deamonhood, cause every other alternative is terrible. I mean getting a mark of one of the gods starts to effect you. Slaaneshs mark starts to effect your senses, dulling your every day until you go beyond your limits and experience something new, and then it goes away. Now you continue to deprave yourself for that feeling never able to reach that highest height again until you feel nothing from anything. Connecting yourself to a god makes it impossible to go back to do so is to lose everything. They suck you in at your worst and most vulnerable and then manipulate you again and again with the promise of power, feeling, knowledge, eternal life and freedom from pain. Going back removes all of that. They feed off of fear of loss and a need for power. By the end you've made every justification and rationality to your actions forever changed both physically and mentally..... then you likely lose in the end, or you get lucky and get the covetted deamonhood where you are still, forever a slave to your master, no matter how much supposed freedom and power you have. But it doesn't matter, cause your master has trained you to be what they want you to be by this point.

Actually, we all join Chaos and one point or another in our lives. Some look to improve themselves through knowledge, believing they can get an "edge" in the rat race of life by acquiring as much Knowledge as they can. Intelligence Agencies and Mass Surveillance are good examples of Institutions that seek Power through Knowledge. Tzentch Some aspire to seek Power through sheer physical strength, they hit the gym or learn martial Arts all the while looking to gain an upper hand in life. Khorne Others will try to make life more bearable by indulging themselves in all kinds of substances, Drugs, Alcohol, Coffein, Nicotine etc. Nurgle And finally, many will pursue the pleasures of flesh and Emotions. Some going so far as to inflict and enjoy pain. Slaanesh There is no escape from Chaos, It marks us all!

That fucking Yu-Gi-Oh arm yoke caught me off guard. Well played Majorkill.

1:19 (Talking about Alfabusa) "but he has moved into different projects" 😥

Actually, joining Chaos is at least marginally better than being enslaved by the Dark Eldar. I mean at least you are not aware of the pain you are in

keep up the good work majorkill ❤️👶🏿

I'll be picking up the files to print them off when I get paid next week I'm super excited.

Oh boi majorkill you know how to spoil us with those minis

Damn sad to here APLHA moved on to other projects . Glad to see the sweet Kitten model !

Yeah, probably people of 40k simply don't know most pros and cons. They can just stay in sh!ty slave-jobs or join chaos and do anything crew agrees on, for example Red Corsairs just fly around in space and take whatever they can "pirate"

Now we want little Magnus.

A video on the red Corsairs/Huron black heart would be awesome

Warhammer plus would make me join chaos. They put out trailers and count that as an “animation” release!

can i get the cool chaos spikey armor without all the anus tentacles and teeth tumors?? that'd be a better deal 🥺

I didnt even know I needed Kitten in my life like that. Praise

I never bought something so quickly in my life!!! I will paint Kitten to the highest standards good sir and if you come out with a ttsd full line know that you will have at least one loyal customer! Thank you for coming out with this amazing mini! :)

2nd positive side of joining the Chaos sounds like: “join the army to become supreme general”. I really don’t think anybody anticipates becoming a daemon prince at that point:) Well according to the 40k novels, Chaos often just seems like the lesser evil in times when Imperium abandons certain sectors or soldiers due to the enormous bureaucratic hustles, therefore reacting too late if reacting at all to the disasters or cries for help. However Chaos seems like an omnipresent essence that feeds on collective hysteria and is attracted to one of the 4 things that people do when their fate is doomed (orgies, violence, trying to find the answer to the problem or simply despair). Of course at that point they accept some whispers from whatever daemon is the first to break through the Warp if they feel the reliable source of Chaotic energy. Well it’s kinda played out like a “deal with the devil” which is seen in many famous fiction works like Ghost Rider, Spawn and Bible.

Many people join Chaos over the Imperiums hypocrisy Slaanesh clearly owns my soul already for various reasons. On that note, why not make a video about the recreational drugs of the Imperium?

You just hit every model amazing so far but dam the kitten one is very fucking good good job

One of your best video's yet:

I'd still worship the emperor..... no matter how many arms he has

Of all chaos gods, i would choose khorne without a thought. His way is simple, he offers quick warriors death or you can get very muscular and strong af as you fight and climb the ladder 🐣

One of the greatest nerd Aussies ever to do anything, bless my dude

People with more 3 brain cells know not to join chaos. Me with less than 3: I'll accept my fate. Bring on the sex demons!

So...why not just look at the positive aspects of each chaos god, and praise that instead? You'd get power, you'd get immortality, and you wouldn't have to deal with all of the nastiness while getting all the benefits. Or, just praise that 'greater good' indian God in the warp that the Tau have to dislike so there isn't an objectively good option in 40k. Seem's like something that's willing to pull me out of the warp and generally be a good bro is prime material for a high-quality God in my book.

What about chaos undivided? How does that change the life you lead as a cultist/astarte? After all, if you pray them all as an undivided whole, you recieve different blessings & fates dont you?

If I had to fall to chaos I'd worship Samus specifically, he got shit done.

‘Chaos-boosted primarchs beat loyalist primarchs’ *laughs in Sanguinius*

I don't buy the "soul destruction thing", to me that's always read as a metaphor for the pain of the Warp, the gods are just a ton of souls in trenchcoats after all, how does destroying your components help you? Dying in 40k is more like having a drop of water dripped into the ocean, both disappear, but both are still there, just part of a greater whole now. Also, maybe The Emperor or similar beings could prevent you from going to the Warp, if the promises of the Imperial cult are to be believed, but that's not how the Warp initially functioned. Before the Old Ones corrupted the Warp with their psychic technology and servant races, the Warp was just a generic calm, cozy dream world afterlife for the predominantly simple and innocent creatures of the galaxy, and it had no sapient emotional gods to cause trouble for mortals. Before you say I'm making the chaos gods sound soft though, existing forever as part of an evil god that you have no choice but to embody because it reflects some of your emotions is way, way, way worse than having your soul just stop existing after daemons eat you.

Well didn't most imperial soldiers during the heresy join the traitors outta loyalty to the legion they fought along side and outta fear of being on the losing side and outta fear of the Primarchs they just didn't know or care it lead to chaos.

Majorkill on Majorkill Violence. Did not see it comming at all. Still glad it happened - What a twist 😂

Great video majorkill, could do exploring what would happen if the Justice league and/or avengers were corrupted by chaos, which ruinous power would they fall to and why.

Disagree with the conclusion. Specifically the overworked lowlife. They should DEFINITELY not join chaos. There is no chance in hell they will ever become a daemon prince and even lasting long as a chaos champion is unlikely for these people. What is likely is them surviving a few months or years before dying and getting murderfucked by Daemons. The only people for who joining chaos is worth it in the long run is the ultra powerful who stand a realistic chance of becoming a Daemon prince.

Clicked this faster than my dad left me

don't know if you've already done a video on it but I would love to see a vid discussing whether or not the daemons of chaos are evil, since technically they need to spread whatever emotions and concepts their patron god is the god of or elsego extinct. like the daemons of khorne need war, rage and blood like we need food, water and air (kind of).

Holy fucking shit, I immediately bought that kitten model as soon as I saw it on the screen. Now I need some fabstodes
