Now, maybe that's just exclusive to the Blood Angels because they have to resist their gene-flaw their entire lives, IDK, but still.
@@SoulBre4kerthere’s a few things 1: Dante has been managing the blood angels for about 3000 years and he is very stressed. Most of the times when space marines age is not quite due to their genes but yeah this bastard has aged. Secondly primarchs aren’t supposed to age, space marines are also supposed to be long lasting. Yeah, we will see them age as shown by the iron warriors loyalist who was aged by hundreds if not thousands of years.

You nailed them! For Mortarion, I would say his trait is defiance. He was always defiant and had humanity towards fellow Legionaries. He did give in to Nurgle to save his sons after all.
its true, Ferrus Manus planned to change the teachings of his Iron hands after the Great Crusade ended, get rid of the whole "bionics" and "flesh is weak" doctrine. this was actually influenced by the talks he had with Fulgrim (before Fulgrim went mad mind u...the real Fulgrim). Fulgrim often wondered if Manus and his legion were too reliant on the machine and bionics...if they had no faith in their flesh. with that in mind Ferrus Manus was going to re-educate his legion...but he never spoke to his men about it and before that could happen...ironically...the Horus Heresy occurred and Ferrus Manus was killed...so the Iron Hands eternally live a lie now...they think they know what is best for their legion...that this is what their Primarch wanted...but it wasn't.
Vulcan for the win, Salamanders need a codex. "Into the fires of battle, unto the Anvil of War!" Great job getting to 100k, where's that TH-cam play button going to go?
Are you sure it was a "Genetic Flaw" that made the Iron Warriors hate the rest of the legions? Not the fact they were treated like trash by literally EVERYONE? Including dear old dad?
Everyone considered them the garrison/ trench digger Legion. That and Perturabo was an architect at heart. He wanted to build cities, not serve as the meatgrinder Legion.
The Salamander's flaw wasn't their skin changing. It was just their eyes. The skin change was a result of their station upon Nocturne making their defense against the environment kick into overdrive like Vulcan's did.
neither of those things were flaws; the ultraviolet rays of their sun caused their skin to go black and their eyes to go red. we have to remember all the Primarchs started out IDENTICAL...Vulkan wasn't black...he was white like the rest of them...but then he crashed onto Nocturne and he turned black and his eyes went red...the sun was unbearable. it was also the hottest time of year...so it was even worse. if he hadn't been a perpetual...he probably would have died. Vulkan's only gene flaw is that he is a perpetual...something he hid because it was such an OP ability.
Their skin does have a flaw. They absorb light much easier, causing black skin. On normal planets they still darken, but with nocturne being as it is they turn fully black quickly. Vulkan also didn't know he was perpetual until Istaavon V, when he was first killed.
Vulkans: he wasn't killed on Istvaan V, he was beaten to NEAR death by the Night Lords and then taken away by Konrad and tortured aboard his ship, he broke free and fought Konrad but escaped into the vacuum of space...he later crashed down on Macragge where the ultramarines found him and eventually he was returned to the Salamanders after a long time of recovering...it was after that Vulkan set out on a quest and never returned. he knew he was a perpetual...he just kept it quiet.
hmmm, thats probably the opposite of the actual. he did have excellent command and knew how to use each of his brothers' legions. except the part where he turned to chaos, he was tricked and didnt have knowledge of chaos.
OneMindSyndicate Depends on how you define flaws, you can argue that the Sons of Horus thing was a gene seed flaw. As its something random that doesnt seem intentional.
Why are Dark Angels so best? There is literally nothing bad in their history at all, and they are completely transparent and open about this. Lion a best, wolf a shit
I have a theory that one of the forgotten primarchs was a blank, as it is indicated that at least one primarch was expunged due to some genetic defect, and a blank is basically the only major mutation not accounted for within the primarchs.
I always thought Sanguinius' Wings were functional and not vestigial, maybe check that... Also, I love how cheesy Corvus Corax and the raven guard are with all their existential drama. They're up there in goofyness with the Space Wolves and their canine fixation. It's just too much, I can't take them seriously. Every time I remember the moment of Corax flying away into oblivion shouting "NEVERMOOOOREEeeeee..." I can't help laughing. That said, I wouldn't change it a bit. I think those silly details in a setting as grim as 40K make the whole thing much more entertaining.
Onemindsydicates gene flaw is the inability to consistently pronounce the word wolf constantly switching to woof then back to wolf. His children have seemed to have carried on this flaw and struggle to read the three little pigs and little red riding hood.
I do have to say though that the angels wings are not vestigial as they function, are completely advantageous and are a new mutation not a "vestige" of the species he evolved from.
The only thing more obnoxious than 'The Ultramarines are the greatest marines!' is the existence of the Primaris. Who we can thank the Ultramines for supplying, apparently.
You're right i forgot to talk about this. Its not an inherent flaw but rather a mutation that happened after the implantation process was sped up on corrupted gene seed. Just like what Corax did with his legions gene seed. Thanks for pointing that out.
even without the blight...the Emperor's Children were always obsessed with perfection...they had to embody it and glorify the Emperor...the second they screwed that up Fulgrim was like "NO...i will not accept that i just killed my brother Manus...i would rather let madness consume me than accept it...i cannot do somethnig so imperfect!" ok i went a little overdramatic there but u get the gist XD
This episode got me thinking, It seems like they have a lot in common or in contrast. I'm sure you could organise this another 10 different ways but here is what I noticed. Death Guard v Salamander = Resistance World Eaters v Blood Angels = Anger Black Legion v Ultramarines = Genericness/Size Iron Warriors v Iron Hands = Robo fetish Word Bearers v Dark Angels = Religiousness Night Lords v Raven Guard = Egde Alpha Legion v Imperial Fists = Tactics Thousand sons v White Scars = Taking your homeworld to heart Emperors Children v Space Wolves = Unflawed vs Flawed from the start
Yeah Imperial Fists are Siege masters and Iron Warriors are Fortification masters, that's already well established in the Lore. But when it comes to tacticians, Rogal Dorn is the only "Good" Primarch that could give Alpharius a run for his money. At least in my opinion.
Actually it´s the other way round, both were experts at both things, though the Fists were regarded as superior in the defensive aspect. Thats why the Fists were chosen to protect and fortify terra, which enraged Perturabo, causing him to taunt Dorn after the siege of terra with his own inassaultable fortress to prove the emperors choice wrong. Also, the Word Bearers were the imperiums diplomats, so while they may not have been as compassionate as the Salamanders, they at least presented themselves in a similar light. Also, some of your comparison don´t hold up either pre or post heresy. The Black Rage of the Blood Angels only came into being after Sanguinias´ death, before that they weren´t really renouned for their excessive fury. Post heresy the ultramarines were the first to reduce their numbers to codex compliancy, the largest chapter are the black templars, sons of Dorn. The Dark Angels aren´t excessively religious although they have numerous allusions to mormon religion, they are more secretive, closer to the Alpha legion.
Some call them flaws, but I believe the emperor was trying to create beings to challenge him in all aspects of his life so that he would have someone help him grow so he would not stagnate.
Ferrus Manus is the laziest damn name in the entire series. Ferrus Manus of the Iron Hands translates to Iron Hands of the Iron Hands. He's the fucking Moon Moon of the Warhammer 40k.
16:25 wait a god damn second. Say that again. Salamanders only darken due to heavy radiation? So hypothetically I could make am Axolotl chapter, write lore that they are a successor group, stick them in a low radiation zone or like under ground and they'd be white as Scandinavians? Thinking like a kinda white / light pearl color scheme.
Hypothetically, yes. Although they might be seen more as Night Lords or Raven Guard successors. That would be a fun dynamic of being Salamander successors that have to constantly prove such. However, it would also kinda mess with the whole 'we love using flames' thing the Salamanders have there.
All interesting. For me I'd have to say the Blood Angels Red Thirst and Black Rage have to be my favorites. Talk about berserker, blood thirsty super humans running at you with no regard for themselves sounds terrifying. Whether fighting against or fighting on the same side. Having to witness that on the battlefield would truly be horrible. Probably for those fighting for the imperium; you would see the emperor's angels of death that resemble humans going crazy to bathe in the enemies blood, that would make anyone go insane.
You are wrong on a lot of these! The Wolves ALL have yellow, black pinned eyes and they don't get leathery skin, they get pale and translucent skin with age, just like Longfang in Prospero Burns. The Fists don't have acid spit. The Emperor's Children have a compulsion to vanity. The Iron Warriors are morose, have terrible tempers, and will not relent, even when it is victory to do so. The Iron Hands have more resilient flesh as well, this was indicated as Erebus was trying to sacrifice them. The Death Guard are resilient and enduring. The Thousand Sons have the flesh change. The Blood Angels have the red thirst. The World Eaters were blood thirsty beyond advantage or reason. The Word Bearers didn't really have any overt flaws, only having an inclination to faith. The Salamanders had burned skin and red, glowing eyes, the Salamanders' natural state was viscous commitment and self destruction. This was solved by Vulkan's tempering of his sons. This is well outlined in Old Earth. The Alpha Legion is not only secretive and deceptive, but is prone to over-complication. The three you didn't list were Horus, Guilliman, and Jonson. These three had remarkably pure gene seed, particularly the 1st and 13th Legions. Before then Rangdan Xenocide, the 1st Legion was the largest legion by a large margin. After losing a large percentage of their Legion, they were a close second. You had great information on the 19th though.
King Baldwin IV actually the World Eaters only went crazy after they met up with Angron who did to them what was done to him which is also why he went ape shit they all had the butcher's nails implanted in them, and Space wolves skin does turn thicker and more leathery over time
One is a lie of omission, the other is a lie of commission. Both show a crap job. So make some more great excuses for not doing a complete job, super. It is not insignificant if it is one of the clearly stated textual flaws. This is a bad job. It represents incomplete research and the fact that the group has a poor handle on 40k. Try Tactica Imperialis or 40K Theories, they don't botch simple videos.
King Baldwin IV "As a Space Wolf warrior grows older his hair turns course and wiry, turning a particular shade of grey, and his canines lengthen into true, wolf-like fangs. Even his skin becomes thicker and more leathery like a wolf pelt and all Space Wolf Marines are usually quite hirsuite. These traits in their fully matured form are usually emblematic of a Space Wolf who has become a Grey Hunter, " this has been the standard passage for the space wolf gene seed effects on a Space Wolf since I first started reading about 40k way back in the day
michaelkeha, good for you, it is apparently not canon. Longfang is described very differently in Prospero Burns by the best author that GW has. Jarl Og, Lord Gun, and others flatly deviate. Added to that were the telltale descriptions of other more aged, senior wolves, and many Jarls. The descriptions do not comport with your description. All of the wolves' eyes are yellow pinned with black as the standard.
Love this channel, listen to it every morning going into work in Alaska! Hope to keep hearing some great lore and 40 facts and maybe win a box set some day. Keep up the work!
Great video I like the longer more broader videos like this that cover a very wide variety of lore and I feel like that really catches the interest of new comers who will then want to find out more for themselves.
One mind Syndicate is my favorite daily TH-cam stop. You guys have really helped me grow the hobby Question: do chainswords idle like a modern chain saw. Or do they spin up in an instant? Like an electric chain saw? Like wise do power/ force weapons make like lightsaber noises? My local group was playing a Deathwatch rpg game and the question came up while “sneaking”
Power weapons and chain weapons usually have to be turned on before going into battle and can be switched off by a single button press. As powe weapons look like a regular weapon with lightning arcing on it I would say that the crackle like sparks
Amazing videos. Absolutely awesome to listen to on my long drive to work. It also saves me time from having to tell my wife (who is using some parts of lores as ideas to write a current book) the lores and stories of questions she has.
Omg I'm new to Warhammer and subscribed to your channel cuz I love the lore and I really hope I can win the know no fear set as I'm already planning on getting the first strike set.
H0rsemen0fDeath trust me, you can find so many other better channels to subscribe to than this one. They just read from the wiki and somehow still fuck things up. I'd recommend Vaults of Terra, Grimdark Narrator, Tactica Imperial, and 40k theories over this dumpster fire of a channel
I have always loved the videos on the Primarchs as well as the videos on the fan made armies. In fact, it was the fan made chapters videos that have been inspiring me to further develope the back story of my own chapter in the hopes that they might be the topic of a future video
Know it’s a long shot but gonna try to win the starter set, one of my buddies and I started up playing warhammer 40k recently and he chose space marines as his army and I chose chaos for mine winning this would help save a lot of money for both of us. Love the videos and keep up the good work
Love your guys content. And I've been wanting to get that starter box. I would also like to thank you listening to your lore videos in December of 2015 got me to start playing 40k. You would always stop and say I hope your painting is going well. Do finally i went online and bought assault on black reach. From there it took 5 months to get my first game but I love it. Thank you guys for getting me into the greatest hobby ever.
There is a good argument that Lion had very strong flaw which was being paranoid. Thats why his sons dont trust eachother at all, make secrets out of everything. Also its interesting story point that both splinter groups consider themselves to be the real Dark Angels and some think that people like Cypher may actually go with the real chapter plan (which is obviously super secret). Fallen Angels are not aware that Chaos is supporting them and messing with them.
Definitely liking the content. Looking forward to hopefully winning the Primaris Marines! Grew up watching my dad play, and watching my roommate make his own army now.
I often times read that Dark Angels have the "flaw" of beeing overly secretive and stuff, no necessarily connected to their past with the fallen but even before that. I dont know...
Barragwin It is a cultural thing rather than a genetic one. Theyve always been secretive because they worked alot more underground when they were simply known as the Angels of Death.
don't forget that Alpharius tampered with the Raven Guards geneseed so that when Coral would try to replenish his ranks almost all of his new Marines ended up with fatal mutations.
Ferrus Manus did not have mechanized hands. His arms were covered with necrodermis (Necron living metal). It may be likely that his muscle and flesh was replaced by it over time, but it was never mechanized like his sons. He did not attain this from an accident. He gained the metal from plunging Asirnoth, a greatwyrm that was made of necrodermis, into lava in order to kill it. His hands went down into the lava with it, but the necrodermis stuck to his flesh.
Dorn definitely had a genetic flaw - obsession with pain and masochism. In one of the first 40k books, "Space Marine," it's mentioned that Imperial Fists need to watch this flaw because they subconsciously WANT to get injured in battle. It's one of the reasons they almost got obliterated at the Iron Cage. Fists also can't spit acid, and lack a few other things, although the gene-seed degradation might have nothing to do with Dorn. The Imperial Fist's are probably most vulnerable to Slaanesh (which is interesting because none of the books seem to mention that, compared to, say, the Blood Angels).
"As space wolves grow older, their hair will turn grey" That happens to most people I think.

Vestigial doesn't actually mean non-functional, just no longer possessing the original function. Vestigial organs can still perform some functions.

Doesn't the Emperor's Children have the blight? The genetic flaw that nearly wiped them out and prompted Fabius to study genetics?
You're right i forgot to talk about this. Its not an inherent flaw but rather a mutation that happened after the implantation process was sped up on corrupted gene seed. Just like what Corax did with his legions gene seed. Thanks for pointing that out.
Since it's not an inherent flaw, does that mean if the original Gene Seed was used once again, the Blight wouldn't be an issue?
Zakery Fyke if it is an acquired flaw, the original gene seed should not have the flaw.
even without the blight...the Emperor's Children were always obsessed with perfection...they had to embody it and glorify the Emperor...the second they screwed that up Fulgrim was like "NO...i will not accept that i just killed my brother Manus...i would rather let madness consume me than accept it...i cannot do somethnig so imperfect!" ok i went a little overdramatic there but u get the gist XD
It's still ironic as fuck that the chapter with a black majority was stained coal black
This episode got me thinking, It seems like they have a lot in common or in contrast. I'm sure you could organise this another 10 different ways but here is what I noticed.
Death Guard v Salamander = Resistance
World Eaters v Blood Angels = Anger
Black Legion v Ultramarines = Genericness/Size
Iron Warriors v Iron Hands = Robo fetish
Word Bearers v Dark Angels = Religiousness
Night Lords v Raven Guard = Egde
Alpha Legion v Imperial Fists = Tactics
Thousand sons v White Scars = Taking your homeworld to heart
Emperors Children v Space Wolves = Unflawed vs Flawed from the start
I dunno man. I like most of them, but Iron warriors are closer to Emperors fists
Yeah Imperial Fists are Siege masters and Iron Warriors are Fortification masters, that's already well established in the Lore. But when it comes to tacticians, Rogal Dorn is the only "Good" Primarch that could give Alpharius a run for his money. At least in my opinion.
Debatable, but I tend to agree. Rogal Dorn seems to be a good tactician, but I think Alpharius is not only a
great tactician, but a great strategist.
Actually it´s the other way round, both were experts at both things, though the Fists were regarded as superior in the defensive aspect.
Thats why the Fists were chosen to protect and fortify terra, which enraged Perturabo, causing him to taunt Dorn after the siege of terra with his own inassaultable fortress to prove the emperors choice wrong.
Also, the Word Bearers were the imperiums diplomats, so while they may not have been as compassionate as the Salamanders, they at least presented themselves in a similar light.
Also, some of your comparison don´t hold up either pre or post heresy.
The Black Rage of the Blood Angels only came into being after Sanguinias´ death, before that they weren´t really renouned for their excessive fury.
Post heresy the ultramarines were the first to reduce their numbers to codex compliancy, the largest chapter are the black templars, sons of Dorn.
The Dark Angels aren´t excessively religious although they have numerous allusions to mormon religion, they are more secretive, closer to the Alpha legion.
the dark angels arent religious though
Some call them flaws, but I believe the emperor was trying to create beings to challenge him in all aspects of his life so that he would have someone help him grow so he would not stagnate.
Ferrus Manus is the laziest damn name in the entire series. Ferrus Manus of the Iron Hands translates to Iron Hands of the Iron Hands. He's the fucking Moon Moon of the Warhammer 40k.
16:25 wait a god damn second. Say that again. Salamanders only darken due to heavy radiation? So hypothetically I could make am Axolotl chapter, write lore that they are a successor group, stick them in a low radiation zone or like under ground and they'd be white as Scandinavians? Thinking like a kinda white / light pearl color scheme.
Hypothetically, yes. Although they might be seen more as Night Lords or Raven Guard successors. That would be a fun dynamic of being Salamander successors that have to constantly prove such. However, it would also kinda mess with the whole 'we love using flames' thing the Salamanders have there.
HERESY OF GREATES MAGNITUDES!!!! *Fyodor flayling the sword uncontrolably*
One possible reason for the later ultramarine flaws is they 'adopted' loyalist elements of the trators
that is true I forgot to mention that
Personally suspect Lamenters are a thousand sons chapter being punished by tzeench until they join their brothers
chris pilkington but Lamenters are blood angel's successors who have in recent times have started having issues with the Red thirst and black rage.
All interesting. For me I'd have to say the Blood Angels Red Thirst and Black Rage have to be my favorites. Talk about berserker, blood thirsty super humans running at you with no regard for themselves sounds terrifying. Whether fighting against or fighting on the same side. Having to witness that on the battlefield would truly be horrible. Probably for those fighting for the imperium; you would see the emperor's angels of death that resemble humans going crazy to bathe in the enemies blood, that would make anyone go insane.
Heresy! There are NO flaws!🔪💀
The biggest flaw is their devotion to the emperor
OneMindSyndicate HERESY!
OneMindSyndicate is that heresy coming from you I smell?
WAAAAAAGH!!!
Are they copies of the big Emp, or sad reflections of his personality split across several bodies?
Come at me, accuser!
pretty sure girlyman's genetic flaw is 1. being a girlyman, 2. being glorious 3. feeling blue all the damn time
You are wrong on a lot of these!
The Wolves ALL have yellow, black pinned eyes and they don't get leathery skin, they get pale and translucent skin with age, just like Longfang in Prospero Burns.
The Fists don't have acid spit.
The Emperor's Children have a compulsion to vanity.
The Iron Warriors are morose, have terrible tempers, and will not relent, even when it is victory to do so.
The Iron Hands have more resilient flesh as well, this was indicated as Erebus was trying to sacrifice them.
The Death Guard are resilient and enduring.
The Thousand Sons have the flesh change.
The Blood Angels have the red thirst.
The World Eaters were blood thirsty beyond advantage or reason.
The Word Bearers didn't really have any overt flaws, only having an inclination to faith.
The Salamanders had burned skin and red, glowing eyes, the Salamanders' natural state was viscous commitment and self destruction. This was solved by Vulkan's tempering of his sons. This is well outlined in Old Earth.
The Alpha Legion is not only secretive and deceptive, but is prone to over-complication.
The three you didn't list were Horus, Guilliman, and Jonson. These three had remarkably pure gene seed, particularly the 1st and 13th Legions. Before then Rangdan Xenocide, the 1st Legion was the largest legion by a large margin. After losing a large percentage of their Legion, they were a close second.
You had great information on the 19th though.
King Baldwin IV actually the World Eaters only went crazy after they met up with Angron who did to them what was done to him which is also why he went ape shit they all had the butcher's nails implanted in them, and Space wolves skin does turn thicker and more leathery over time
That is not a consistent trait for the 6th legion, at least during the Heresy.
One is a lie of omission, the other is a lie of commission. Both show a crap job.
So make some more great excuses for not doing a complete job, super. It is not insignificant if it is one of the clearly stated textual flaws.
This is a bad job. It represents incomplete research and the fact that the group has a poor handle on 40k.
Try Tactica Imperialis or 40K Theories, they don't botch simple videos.
King Baldwin IV "As a Space Wolf warrior grows older his hair turns course and wiry, turning a particular shade of grey, and his canines lengthen into true, wolf-like fangs. Even his skin becomes thicker and more leathery like a wolf pelt and all Space Wolf Marines are usually quite hirsuite. These traits in their fully matured form are usually emblematic of a Space Wolf who has become a Grey Hunter, " this has been the standard passage for the space wolf gene seed effects on a Space Wolf since I first started reading about 40k way back in the day
michaelkeha, good for you, it is apparently not canon.
Longfang is described very differently in Prospero Burns by the best author that GW has.
Jarl Og, Lord Gun, and others flatly deviate.
Added to that were the telltale descriptions of other more aged, senior wolves, and many Jarls. The descriptions do not comport with your description.
All of the wolves' eyes are yellow pinned with black as the standard.
Love this channel, listen to it every morning going into work in Alaska! Hope to keep hearing some great lore and 40 facts and maybe win a box set some day. Keep up the work!
guys it's, 2am go to bed
jfwizard1 3 am here lol
5pm bro
jfwizard1 7 am here
Sheldon Goodfellow dude... Have you tried going to the doctor?
jfwizard1 I wish, but no can do at work rn
Great video I like the longer more broader videos like this that cover a very wide variety of lore and I feel like that really catches the interest of new comers who will then want to find out more for themselves.
One mind Syndicate is my favorite daily TH-cam stop. You guys have really helped me grow the hobby
Question: do chainswords idle like a modern chain saw. Or do they spin up in an instant? Like an electric chain saw? Like wise do power/ force weapons make like lightsaber noises? My local group was playing a Deathwatch rpg game and the question came up while “sneaking”
Power weapons and chain weapons usually have to be turned on before going into battle and can be switched off by a single button press. As powe weapons look like a regular weapon with lightning arcing on it I would say that the crackle like sparks
honestly , the emperor , the primarch and the legions they command look like vampire the masquerade clans to me
Your comment is heresy
:D Are they geneseed flaws? Or just happy accidents?
Sorrowdusk bob ross marine!
Amazing videos. Absolutely awesome to listen to on my long drive to work. It also saves me time from having to tell my wife (who is using some parts of lores as ideas to write a current book) the lores and stories of questions she has.
Of course the most flawed was ++comment redacted by the holy inquisition++.
Hey if they're bringing back plastic sisters we can all keep secretly hoping for squats to make a comback
For the emperor!!
Roboto Gorillaman, as always, is perfect and never does anything wrong. Nice one, GW!
Ave Imperator
This is my favorite lore channel.
Omg I'm new to Warhammer and subscribed to your channel cuz I love the lore and I really hope I can win the know no fear set as I'm already planning on getting the first strike set.
H0rsemen0fDeath trust me, you can find so many other better channels to subscribe to than this one. They just read from the wiki and somehow still fuck things up. I'd recommend Vaults of Terra, Grimdark Narrator, Tactica Imperial, and 40k theories over this dumpster fire of a channel
Dunjee's Playhouse man you sure seem invested for someone who dislikes the channel so much
Not all fans like to show their love but at the end of the day they still enjoy our content.
Those are great lore channels.
thanks good luck
The videos you guys put out made me start playing, I have a friend who tried to get me into it but he was never good at explaining the lore
#BlameBigE
Well done for hitting 100k what a milestone.
I have always loved the videos on the Primarchs as well as the videos on the fan made armies. In fact, it was the fan made chapters videos that have been inspiring me to further develope the back story of my own chapter in the hopes that they might be the topic of a future video
i'm just starting warhammer (bought an old "battle for macragge" set) and i was pretty clueless about a lot of the lore. these vids definitely help.
"FLESH IS WEAK, VULKAN!!" Ghost of Ferrus Manus
Ive been a big fan of dawn of war games for quite along time and that giveaway would actualy push me into figures
you are the reason i know so much lore thanks for all the hard work
Watching these videos makes me want to get models. The lore is amazing. Thanks guys
I love, how Guillimane is just Octavian, first emperor of the roman empire, upon a space-marine-body.
Congrats on 100k subscribers, OMS!
Thanks for the dedication guys.
Know it’s a long shot but gonna try to win the starter set, one of my buddies and I started up playing warhammer 40k recently and he chose space marines as his army and I chose chaos for mine winning this would help save a lot of money for both of us. Love the videos and keep up the good work
A fairly comprehensive list of the flaws. Keep them coming!
Congratulations on the 100k plus subscribers!
Love your guys content. And I've been wanting to get that starter box. I would also like to thank you listening to your lore videos in December of 2015 got me to start playing 40k. You would always stop and say I hope your painting is going well. Do finally i went online and bought assault on black reach. From there it took 5 months to get my first game but I love it. Thank you guys for getting me into the greatest hobby ever.
And for some reason I had to subscribe again
There is a good argument that Lion had very strong flaw which was being paranoid. Thats why his sons dont trust eachother at all, make secrets out of everything. Also its interesting story point that both splinter groups consider themselves to be the real Dark Angels and some think that people like Cypher may actually go with the real chapter plan (which is obviously super secret). Fallen Angels are not aware that Chaos is supporting them and messing with them.
love the lore videos about the primarchs! Keep up the great work!
Essentially the Imperial Fists chapter that had the flaw suffers from a genetic flaw of the ultimate form of depression.
Congrats on reaching 100k subs
Love the channel hope to see this content for years to come!
Keep up the good work guys. I'm listening to you while painting. Thanks!
Definitely liking the content. Looking forward to hopefully winning the Primaris Marines! Grew up watching my dad play, and watching my roommate make his own army now.
Your videos rock man! I watch them all the time! Keep doing what you’re doing!
Find it kinda endearing that every time you say "wolf", it invariably comes out sounding as "woof." The "Space Woofs", et al. :)
I often times read that Dark Angels have the "flaw" of beeing overly secretive and stuff, no necessarily connected to their past with the fallen but even before that. I dont know...
Barragwin It is a cultural thing rather than a genetic one. Theyve always been secretive because they worked alot more underground when they were simply known as the Angels of Death.
You deserve each and every subscriber you have! Keep the good work. I'm looking forward for what's coming next
Found your channel couple of days ago and already hooked, good work :)
don't forget that Alpharius tampered with the Raven Guards geneseed so that when Coral would try to replenish his ranks almost all of his new Marines ended up with fatal mutations.
Dorn’s flaw is unable to understand the funny, and addiction to the magic pain glove
Thanks for the amazong videos on the lore you put out :)
Congrats guys on 100k!!!!
I am new the hobbie and thanks to you guys I decided on the space marines chapter to go thanks.
thanks for all the videos , love the 40 facts
I'm going to binge this channel.
Loving the lore and 40k facts, keep up the good work
Love the lore, and winning this would help me get into playing Warhammer beyond just the Total War games.
Ferrus Manus did not have mechanized hands. His arms were covered with necrodermis (Necron living metal). It may be likely that his muscle and flesh was replaced by it over time, but it was never mechanized like his sons.
He did not attain this from an accident. He gained the metal from plunging Asirnoth, a greatwyrm that was made of necrodermis, into lava in order to kill it. His hands went down into the lava with it, but the necrodermis stuck to his flesh.
Dorn definitely had a genetic flaw - obsession with pain and masochism. In one of the first 40k books, "Space Marine," it's mentioned that Imperial Fists need to watch this flaw because they subconsciously WANT to get injured in battle. It's one of the reasons they almost got obliterated at the Iron Cage. Fists also can't spit acid, and lack a few other things, although the gene-seed degradation might have nothing to do with Dorn. The Imperial Fist's are probably most vulnerable to Slaanesh (which is interesting because none of the books seem to mention that, compared to, say, the Blood Angels).
Thanks for your amazing videos !!!
Perturabo: Terminal Emo behavior (see also: Corvus Corax)
Roubute Guilliman: Chronic Goody-Two Shoes disorder.
Leman Russ: Uncontrollable ball-licking.
Congrats on 100k :D
love all your content thanks for all the hard work.
when you said 100,000 i thought you were going to say dollars i almost fell of my chairXD
Now everytime I picture Guilleman sat alone in quiet contemplation, he'll have 'Mr. Bombastic' by Shaggy playing playing in the background xD
