Why Do the Night Lords Hate Chaos? | Warhammer 40k Lore

Daemon: "Why hate us?" Night Lord: "I'm gonna knock you out. My Daddy said knock you out. So, I'm gonna knock you out."

One of my favorite headcanons is that night lords call their daemon princes "daemon princesses" because you have to be one hell of a kiss ass to be one.

Being psychotic before the heresy might help.. I bet it'd be hard to play on the repressed dark impulses of someone that never actually repressed them.

Night Lords, as a rule, look down on Chaos worship or dependency, but they're sufficiently libertarian that they tolerate it within their ranks as long as its not forced onto others.

There's also the fact that neither them or the AL went to the Eye Of Terror, after the heresy. Not living in chaos Chernobyl is a great way to avoid chaos corruption.

I quite like how there are "good" Chaos legions, and "bad" Loyal ones. Makes it all seem a bit greyer.

A video on the relationships between the first founding chapters and there most prominent successors would be cool

I wonder if Chaos was the reason why Konrad got those visions and drove him to be on the side of the Traitor Legions.

Tossing Sevatar is unforgivable. both during the heresy and potentially in the current setting, that wacko could make the night lords have the attention they deserve, also since it wouldn't hurt Talos and the warbands storyline. There's too much compliance in the black army and his acquaintances.

Could you make a video on some of the individuals that were protected by the Aquilan shield and how these individuals may have saved the Emperor?

It helps that unlike the Thousand Sons, the Night Lords didn't have to contend with the flesh change and in the current setting, their psychopathic Primarch is dead whereas the Thousand Sons still have their psychopathic Primarch who also happens to be an egomaniacal demon space wizard. Furthermore, no Night Lord was turned into a dusty golem.

The Night Lords trilogy also mentions that Talos was often unaware of just how corrupted the Night Lords had become. They are certainly far less corrupted than the other traitor legions, but they aren't immune to their father's wilfull self-delusion.

I would like to point out that when dorn ate it,curze actually felt bad because at that time he actually wasnt as bad because he was recently healed by big e

I am happy GW gave us some new mini bits for us to play with. I am also happy you covered them again

Lord Curze’s truth shall be made manifest. A galaxy united not by the lies of the imperium or chaos, but through the only force mankind understands: FEAR.

I so badly want to make a list of Night Lords and Iron Warriors under one banner

I really love the Nightlords especially when they resist chaos and it's pull, to spit in its face as a weak crutch for weak people. I seriously hope we get a single character ideally Decimus or a unit of terror infantry with some rules as I miss the rules we had in 9th.

Decimus didn't unite the Legion against the Imperium though. Decimus had his sights well set on Craftworld Ulthwe. And then they decided to NEVER AGAIN mention that whole plot point. This meeting took place right before Abaddon threw a castle at Cadia. It's about time we get an update on the Night Lords little own genocide against a Craftworld. Especially since we know there were active Night Lord warbands working alongside Vashtorr during the Arks of Omen. I just want a named Night Lords character man. I am running out of Slavic names to give my boys.

I see that Majorkills's love for the 8th Legion continues. Excellent. Ave Dominus Nox Brother.

My hot take here is that the 10th company are the exception not the rule when it comes it night lords, nearly every other depiction has them way more chaosy. Yes the night lord hate chaos but i fell that its really just hate for the sake of hate. Talos has ADB syndrome in that his best characters are the opposite to what we expect from them

I know there are a night lord warband call the gorechained who worship khorne and another night lord warband call raptorous flayhost who worship tzeentch and slaanesh

Superb video as always @majorkill. Could you make a video dedicated to the Navigators, the major houses, their politics, relation to the overall Imperium and factions, etc

This channel is the reason I've started playing Tactics. It's definitely one of the better mobile games I've played or currently play. Thanks for the code too!

Thanks for another fascinating video! You always make some interesting content. I actually just discovered your videos summarizing alternate heresies a little while ago, and they were some of my favorite 40K videos to date. Though they did make me curious about what you might have to say about some other notable fan theories. Probably the biggest one would be the "Sigmar from Fantasy is a Lost Primarch" theory. Not sure if this is a good enough topic for a video, but how do you think Sigmar would fit into the 40K universe if it was true? I keep trying to figure out what relationships he would have with his Primarch brothers, but other than him probably being buds with Leman, I'm not sure what the others might think of him.

Hey MK, have you thought about making a video of what the chaos primarchs would do if they came back, loyalist, instead of Guilliman? Thought it could be fun.

Captain was like "You want to see some sh!t!?" to the daemon within him

I’m so glad majorkill introduced me to Tacticus, bro got me addicted and hooks me up with free hero shards once a blue moon too.

Make a video on what Timmy would do if he was brought back in Gmans position

Longtime supporter of the channel bro. Iron warriors are goated and the best , but I like how the night lords also just said " fuck all y'all your all crazy" and dipped

Another reason why some of the night lords are anti-chaos. For the one raised on Nostramo and this is my theory that make sense to a certain point. Before the Heresy they were psycho's , killer's , murders , criminals of some kind (minor or major) and people of violance usually from a gang/criminal organisation on Nostramo. They seen the good , the bad and ugly before the heresy from a early life as most of the recruits from Terra and Nostramo later on . At a certain point they see what chaos can do from the other legion embrace chaos and say no knowing how messed up some of their life were pre-heresy. As being a criminal to a certain degree was a factor help them for the better or worse for being anti-chaos for the ones that stick to Servatar or Konrad teaching still in M41/M42 . As a sample Talo's was in a gang at a young age and saw what life was like in the neighborhood he grew up in under a gang control . Stuff like that change you for the better or for the worse at a certain point even for messed up some of the name night lords were from the Heresy . As even the night lord Zso Sahal from the novel lord of the night was anti-chaos , anti-imperium siding with the traitors while sticking true to the legion values when they meet a night lord warband that embrace chaos mutation's .

Major please bring back the kharn the betrayer singlet that says “get up”

my favourite, these guys had so much potential.

If the Emperor believes all his sons can be restored I wonder if Konrad could potentially be the first if GW go down the whole Curze's soul was saved in an Aeldari Soul Stone when he was killed. Imagine Decimus discovering that and uniting all uncorrupted Night Lords to find a way to bring back Curze.

I always thought that NL, fundamentally, are obsessed with having all the advantages and no disadvantages, which is why Chaos is a loss-loss for them.

Dear Majorkill, thank you very much for releasing a Night Lords video on my 23rd Birthday - as a son of The Eighth, this brought a smile to my face : )

In my opinion, when the galaxy burns and humanity vanishes into the gaping maw of chaos, the last remaining Space Marine is gonna be a Night Lord looting the body of the second last Space Marine, who was probably also a Night Lord.

What if Clonegrim returned to the imperium? How would the imperium/the lion and rowboat Gorillaman react, how'd it impact the setting?

It would kinda make sense that sevatar became one of the first grey knights due to he being a psyker as well as hating chaos (demons) and there being gray knights who where recruited from traitor legions as well as loyal. Not to mention not knowing what happened to him.

I finished reading the first book of the night lords trilogy a few days ago Fr, I think hearing a Night Lord whisper “preysight” is probably one of the worst things to hear as a normal human

*”Professionals have **_Standards_** .”*

It’s simply because the NightLords are already about surviving at all costs, get out alive, youre more important than anything we’re trying to collectively do. If NL don’t win quickly they leave. They also got to the see the results of “what happens to you if you get corrupted by chaos” cuz all the legions that rebelled and fought with them on Terra were crazy as fuuuuk

Hey Major, is there anyway you can talk about animals of old terra, which ones still exist, and the pets that humanity still has?

Majorkill: So, how did they do it? Me: This is going to be a video where literally every example is from the Night Lords trilogy, isn't it? Majorkill: Starting off with Sevat- Me: There we go.

Attempt number 7: What if the Primarchs where found in the order of their creation. So the Lion was first and Horus was nearly last. I think that could change quite a bit, don't you think? P:S yeah, I'm definitely doing this till it gets to a 100. JOIN ME MY BROTHERS!!

Bruh, every time I think you've exhausted 40k topics you pop out another fun and interesting topic. Keep going Major Daddy!!!

how much lore is there on Chaos Navigators, what happens to those who guide Chaos ships?

Attempt Number 6 Could the Istvaan V loyalist legions have held Terra? If Chaos forces were are at the same strength during the siege as it happened in canon Vulkan is present at Terra so could close the webway quickly, saving all of the forces who died during the War in the Webway for use in the siege (Custodes, Imperial Guard, Sisters of Silence etc) Ferrus Manus is alive and all Iron Hand/Salamander tech is present for the loyalists Raven Guard and Corvus Corax conduct strikes behind chaos lines, similar to how the White Scars operated. And of course....Vulkan can't die Could Vulkan, Ferrus and Corvus have killed Ka'Bhanda, Angron, Mortarion, Horus?

How have you been enjoying Darktide since the large update?

7:03 that Slaaneshi marked Night Lord makes me wonder if Noise Marines joined their ranks 😮

I’m 2/3 through the Soul Hunter book and the Night Lords are enthralling.

Finally it happened. Both the RU-vid ad and the video creator advertised the same game. This must be a sign to download it and play it.

Bruh Major you should've also looked into the new Nightlords models. They fucking dope af, way better than Asmoda-

Thank you for the code! Been really enjoying the Tacticus game

Emperor literally created a psychotic vampire as though nothing could have gone wrong.

Fantastic timing with the new kill team

My head canon: being originally a bunch of violent, but independent, criminals, the Night Lords retained a hatred of authority. They don’t like. Gaia telling them to do stupid shit any more than they like the Imperium doing it. This makes them different from the Luna Wolves, who were also criminals, but mostly underhive gangers. They were criminals, but ones that banded together in groups with structure and authority. The Night Lords were more lone psychopaths, which contributed to them chafing against any central authority. That’s just my opinion though.

I don't get notifications when your video's come out anymore I just have to keep checking your channel

Thanks for that code bruh, unlocked a few new characters…good shxt✊🏾

I can see why big E likes irony, ironic that the 8th legion the most fucked up an evil of the legions would reject the 8fold path. Love Talos interaction with the chaos gods trying to directly corrupt him, especially with nurgle.

The best defense againt chaos is your own bs that you need to defend and excuse, and chaos just being an element that keeps your excuses from holding any water. Removing that is what was needed for most legions to fall. Those sacred false principles self excuses. That is so extremely human.

The Night Lords are a chaos corrupted legion, they utilize chaos as a tool and implement chaos empowered assets within their various warbands.

we need more Eldar and Drukhari lore!

I found one of the most interesting moments in the Konrad Cruze novel before Konrad meets the assassin where he ends up having a breif conversation with the emperor after making his meat effigy & the emperor says he forgives Konrad because he bloodied his hands in the great crusade on his behalf & kind of gently chides Konrad for getting too mentally set into thinking that his precognition visions were always 100% true & completely unchangeable.

You think if you used one of those aquarium clicker things that Red Corsair navigator would do tricks and stuff? Day 344 of requesting a Commissar Yarrick Major Mini pls and thank you.

2:08 video start

hey Majorkill I just hought about it but what if you started a serie were you buill your own spliter empire how you would make your own supersoldier and how you would run things and also you should make a video talking about the warlords of terra

konrad had a spooky nightmare and didn't tell his dad

Ruthlessly efficient and brutal in equal measure. Appreciate the fact that hunting of human crew was aloud on ships but only menials. If a corrupt marine killed someone of importance or ability absolute hell to pay

They’re a jealous bunch the Nightlords. They believe they’re more pure in their evil than the puny warp gods . They don’t need the warp to be totally deranged and psychotic as there already that way.

A video of the top ten community made wholesome moments would be great

hair looks great mate

Damn dude you’re a beast in Tacticus. Thanks for the code!

Zso Sahaal from the novel Lord Of The Night would have been an awesome mention here

Thanks for pointing that out. Why Ive always said Night lords need new sculpts. The idea behind chaos space marine armor is it is regular armor, when the marine gave himself over to chaos, it warped and twisted his armor. See now why Nightlords dont work with black legion sculpts painted blue? Personally I thing the upgrade pack full of shoulder pads and Heads aint gonna cut it. GW needs to stop shorth changing the Night Lords and give them a whole range of sculpts like the death guard.

Vandred's death was perfect: "I hope this hurts". Also, fuck Ruven.

Neither here no their, but how epic would it be if we learn that perterabo is playing a 24,000 year game to ultimately seige the eye of terror? Testing and adjusting for every increment of motivational change that comes from chaos worship until he positions the psychology and motivations exactly right for his plan to unfold? Maybe folding a culture like a sword being forged until it is incapable of having any care or use for chaos?

Do a video on the chief librarian from each legion.

Honestly this is why of all the traitor legions, these guys have my respect more than the others. They rebel against the emperor without selling their souls to arguably even worse entities.

Just reading the omnibus now, good timing!

They were fucked up enough before being corrupted by demonic deities, they dont need more chaos in their lives 😂

I’m detecting a lack of Kenergy from Majorkill, literally not me

I was dying for some requisition scrolls and gold so thanks a bunch m8

Thanks for the code brah

First time I've heard of a Chaos Dolphin

The subscription joke was one of the most out of pocket thing's I've seen love you mk

unfortunitly the new kill team looks very chaosy

Amazing Code there Mate!!!

Major dope codes for Tacticus. Mad respects

Can we get a video on Lord Solar Arcadian Leontus? For the Imperium!

Day 1 of asking Majorkill to make a video on each legion's best achievement/battle/victory

Majorkill, would you please cover Catachan again? I’d love to hear an Australian talk about the failed Khornite demon invasion.

Yo I got Azrael AND celestine in tacticus from your code , thank you so much!!! Great video

I Always found it funny that the Most insane primarch rejected Chaos of His own free will, but the other Traitors (angron excluded), relative sane, embraced it

You have been slacking majorkill I need my lore at the regular intervals for the emperor

If any more men of iron lore has come out id love to see a vid on it

🟣💜 All Dante's Circles of Hell start from the Second: the Sins of Lust and Pride! Fulgrim and Emperor's Children become Serpents, Konrad Curze and Night Lords become Dragons, Alpharius/Omegon and Alpha Legion become Crocodiles. What is the excessive power of the Emperor's Children, the Night Lords and the Alpha Legion under Slaanesh to have bodies of pure dark stone (the Ice Moon of Slaanesh)? Genestealers (Tyranids) and Beastmen can find excess only with Slaanesh! I think I've solved Slaanesh's Necromancy! Ghosts and Skeletons of Slaanesh are of Ice, moved by Lust and Pride. A pearl of Slaanesh please: Ice Magic of Slaanesh. Does it have a classic look or does it have a more snowy look? The (humanoid) Dark Kroxigor for Slaanesh? How can they be? Circle of Avidity is a hell of gold, Circle of Gluttony is a hell of blood, Circle of Carnality is a hell of sand, Circle of Supremacy (Paramountcy) is a hell of ash, Circle of Vanity (Vainglory) is a hell of water, Circle of Indolency is a hell of snow. But why is it called that and not simply Supremacy? Furthermore, the gold pearls of the Circle of Avidity must be Gold Serpents or Gold Elementals, i personally say gold pearls (the magic water that can turn everything into perfect gold). And shouldn't the Circle of Vainglory simply be called the Circle of Vanity (example the Princes of Vanity)? "Vanity, definitely my favorite sin." (The coral/seaweed Forest of Vanity) 💜🟣 I have an interesting theory about the V Circle of Seduction, Vanity (Vainglory). As Nurgle is nature on Earth, Slaanesh is nature in Water (example the sea gardens of the Laer). And by logic the fragrant and flowery Forest of Vanity is of perfect coral with spikes and seaweed with spines, dominated by serpentine Demons with spines. You like it? Sun Dragons in the Circle of Carnality, Moon Dragons in the Circle of Indolency, Fire Dragons in the Circle of Supremacy, Ice Dragons in the Circle of Indolency, Metal Dragons in the Circle of Supremacy, Ash Dragons in the Circle of Indolency, Earth Dragons in the Circle of Supremacy, Sea Dragons in the Circle of Vanity, Lightning Dragons in the Circle of Supremacy, Blood Dragons in the Circle of Gluttony.

Kurze disembowling Dorn does indeed upset me more than anything. Because i cant remember if it was a 1v1 fight or a surprise. If a 1v1, Dorn isnt as strong a duelist i thought. If surprise, im upset Dorn got caught.

Your a Legend majorkill, git some much needed shards for aethana. Now I can continue my quests 😂. The irony that they reject chaos the most is hilarious (reference to video)

My Head Canon, Sevatar now works for an Inquisitor hunting down chaos tainted Nightlords.
