hey Majorkill i jus wanted to say thank you. i bought the night lord singlet and it came for my birthday and it's actually awesome i've worn it to the gym and when i play guitar and everything. it's actually top tier. thank you again.
Konrad's tragic story is also what made him such an interesting and, in his own twisted way, human character.. Like imagine being born into the absolute clusterfuck that is the 40k universe, being in perpetual agony and suffering from insane seizures while being constantly reminded that the future is only going to get worse and on top of all that your own father orders your execution.. deciding to off yourself out of there would be the go-to answer for 99% of us
Konrad's story wasn't that tragic. He didn't have nails inside his head that forced him to kill everything that moves. Konrad had a choice. Sanguinius, emperor and many other primarchs tried to show him better way but he didn't want to change.
@@darksider2903 Very true, he did have a choice to admit that there was a better way to run things, but chose to ignore the call to the light and blame everything on his father since if he was created like this, that means its what the Emperor wanted him to be. He was the one out of all the Primarchs to be like "Do you realize what we are? What we were made for?" which makes him really interesting to me
Konrad had the choice to fight against fate but lacked the Will to accept that it was his own actions and decisions that was responsible for the atrocities he committed He would rather allow himself to be killed than accept any blame for his sins
The best part about Argel Tal's death is, iirc, his death was so bullshit that even the demon he fused with hated Erebus for killing him. It tried to warn Argel that Erebus was about to stab him, though was too late, and then turned around and basically told Erebus "you sniveling coward, I liked him, and you fucked it up." Like how hated do you have to be for a demon you just realesed telling you to pound sand for doing so.
i mean despite 99% percent of demon possessions being absolutely horrific, argel tal and the demon must have had a pretty solid relationship for the demon to be this pissed about it, considering most demons see human souls as basically food.
@sovietunion7643 they were the perfect fusion. But they are hanging out in the warp now, because iirc the souls of the possessed become the daemons plaything when they die. So they're having fun

@@alexwolf2845 isha is the eldar goddess of nature and healing, and is widely considered the only truly benevolent eldar/elven goddess in warhammer as the rest have some form of evil or grey area. during the birth of slaanesh most eldar gods were consumed by slaanesh, with only cerogorach escaping, khaine fighting slaanesh to a standstill and being shattered once khorne (god of war) got involed and isha being picked up by nurgle, it went like this: isha was panicking in the corner as slaanehs battled khaine, and nurgle came around as slaanesh was busy and offered his "protection" which really would be basically slavery for isha. she accepted, the alternative being consumed by slaanesh, and in the current setting is still under nurgle's control, and is used to test nurgle's diseases. it is also spoken here and there that isha may also be staying under nurgle even if she probably could be able to escape as she can attempt to give healing to mortals even as nurgle infects them she almost certainly could escape nurgle but than she might risk being consumed by slaanesh as well. nurgle's """protection""" for now is her best bet.
I liked Konrads death, I just read the Nightlord Omnibus and his reasoning was not only "my visions need to be true" but, he also directly states something of the lines "evil motherfuckers need to die and I am an evil motherfucker", he judged himself by his own code of justice
Major Ozzie Killian: saved fifty regiments of guardsmen and held off a Tyranid invasion with a spoon before being killed in a training exercise by a misfired lasgun, the most common cause of death for Imperial Guardsmen
There was an Imperial Guard lieutenant who was going to be executed by his Commissar, only for the Aquilan Shield to save him. Said lieutenant then took command of all the forces on the planet and defeated the Chaos forces. He was then executed because Commissars don’t believe in taking back their executions.
Medusan and the IHands as a whole had such a sad deal I was so sad when I read Argel Tal's death, but I thought it was a super powerful ending to the book and pushed Kharn down the path 😢
Argel Tal was never fated to die by Sanguinius. He was fated to die "under the shadow of great wings" which everyone, both in-universe and audience wrongly assumed it meant Sanguinius(as we're intended too) when in fact it meant the wings of the Imperial Aquila as Eribus points out. Remember the gods always manipulate and tell half truths
I think the Swarmlord siccing a bunch of carnifexes on the Avatar of Khaine would work infinitely better to show it’s intelligence due to a lack of desire for glory that has killed so many in the setting IF the Swarmlord didn’t have its stupid death against Dante in the way it did
And then, there was this avatar from Biel-tan that got left behind by the Biel-tan's forces on an exodite planet invaded by Tyranids. It stayed there, continuously fighting for about six days (because the Biel-tan-Iyanden-Harlequin-Black Heart Kabal allied force spent two days to form the alliance and four days to travel back to the planet through the webway), and survived albeit not without wounds. Imagine. Six days. Alone. On a planet invested with Tyranids. So yeah, I guess not all avatar are created the same...
@lordbalthosadinferni4384GW, as bad as they are, do have a code of ethics. From what I recall, they pulled out their production facilities from China after I think the Hong Kong stuff (I'm not sure, but China did something fucked) and never went back. Should be noted, Harlequins, in the lore, are considered equals to Custodians. Not strong enough to slaughter, but strong enough to match them.
Argels end int completely accurate, the quote goes “You will die in the shadow of great wings” those great wings were presumed to be sanquinius’ wings however during the scene in the book as Argel is laying on his back dying he looks up and sees an imperial aquila, with great wings that were casting a shadow. So technically he did die how he was supposed to
I actually kind of like Konrad's death. It was a showcase of his greatest fault brought out from what his original role was. He was supposed to be the Emperor's Justice after all and justice must always be right/correct. As he descended into the arrogant violent creature we know from the lore he probably became more and more in touch with his original nature as well. As such he also convinced himself "I must always be correct". In way as Majorkill himself said in the video he was too afraid of being wrong and not just because it would make him look pathetic, which it would, but also because his very nature demands certainty.
this is basically the story of halo. apply enough buckshot and high explosives to anything and the problem goes away. it can be a advanced alien race of zealots or a sentient zombie hivemind plague that is scourging the universe. enough firepower and the problem is gone.
@@notani3533 there aren't many metahuman ones As for mortality, there are a lot of people alive for all kinds of reasons in 40k. No reason Jenetia couldn't have been 'in the warp'etc
Just gonna preface this by saying I get it’s a joke and it’s funny, however, it makes sense that if he sees you swinging somewhere in a vision but not whether or not you hit him, then it’s not being a hypocrite to dodge since you still swung where he saw
Oh boy gosh golly, more space marines???😃 It’s not like we’ve had hundreds of videos daily about those guys and the horse is so badly flogged it’s in ribbons… But yeah keep em coming I say! 🫠
I got to it this week and it still doesn’t sit right with me. Like that’s one character I feel like needs to be resurrected or have their ending retconned
Let's be honest, no death on this list is so disappointing like sevatars. Damn we didn't even know how he died or if he died. He just disappeared and it's said, he is death. So unworthy for this absolutely badass
I mean, for the sister of silence, you could imagine that maybe because Kharn didn't see her, he didn't have the intention of killing/hitting her, making his swing untelegraphed. Like those boxing things you see where a guy is able to so easily avoid/block jabs, but then the guy jabbing just extends his arm kinda slowly but doesn't telegraph it at all. Or the guy he killed was blocking her view and she was preoccupied with another threat or two? Still a shit way for such a awesome character to go.
If you go back and read / listen to “Saturnine”, you would see that’s not the case. Besides she details how many of the world eaters she’s taken out so far and when you add all of that with what she’s done before then, you’ll see that something so simple taking her out like this is quite literally the most disrespectful way to end her character
I still remember from Cruze's novel where he has a conversation with the emperor before the assassin arrives .. although whether that was real or just a hallucination Konrad was having but i liked the fact the emperor like forgave him for the shit he did because in a way he fucked by fate & then chided him for thinking that his visions were set in stone & that he could not change them.
With the primarchs Returning an interesting Video would be about which traitor could Return loyal and which loyalist could Return traitor. This would be an unexpected Twist in the setting
Erebus is a better character imo, he's a proper villain whereas Argel Tal is a soy boy who pretends he's good at heart, don't get why he gets so much love. Then again I'm sure if he wasn't so popular I'd be rooting for him as I like complex characters but the contrarian in me gets annoyed at the over abundance of argel tal love haha
I'm surprised there was no mention about Yarrik dying off screen. Yarrik, the man who made the Armaggedon Steel Legion one of the most famous IG regiments and part of most iconic rivalry in 40k, and GW couldn't be bothered to even specify his cause of death.
The death of Ekene, Chapter Master of the Celestial Lions was pretty lame. After surviving his Chapter's devastation at Armageddon, he spends 100 years defiantly rebuilding his chapter while trapped in Imperium Nihilus, only to be decapitated by an assassin while at a war council with the rest of the Adeptus Vaelari.
technically we don't know what happened to dorn. i still like the TTS version where he survived and simply disguised himself as a custodes and has been trying to save the imperium from the shadows for 10,000 years as best he could. it would make sense because 1. no one is ever going to question the authority of a custodes and 2. would explain why the imperium has done as well as it has for 10,000 years.
Yarrick dying off screen and Ghaz so far not doing anything about it should also compare with these, maybe not choking something that doesn’t breathe to death but still worth mentioning.
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
I actually appreciate the occasional lame death for major characters in a setting like Warhammer 40K because it helps with establishing the theme of the brutal and fical nature of the universe as a whole and warfare in general. It also appears in other war game franchises, where a major ruler and all around god-level strategist and polical player died of a heart attack.
Konrad death was the most fitting death in 40 k. It is poetic justice. For the best written primarch. Honestly, if someone gets resurrected i hope it’s Konrad I hope he becomes cured of madness. Imagine a not insane konrad coming to the setting and the reaction of guiliman and lion.
Reminds me of Jason of the Argonauts. The guy have many adventures that should have gave him an epic death but he survived them all. Then many years later he revisited his old ship which is now rotting away. While reminiscing, the bow breaks off and lands on him killing him.
Kharn killing Jenetia Krole by accident like she was a cloaked spy in TF2 is actually a good thing because it actually saves face for both characters. Put yourself in the shoes of the writers: Kharn and Krole cross paths, you need Kharn to live, but can't contrive a way for him to roll three natural twenties in a row to beat a named custodes level threat. By all rights, even Kharn should get bodied in such a matchup. What do you do? Have Kharn critically miss instead: you can't say Kharn outplayed Jenetia because he barely knew she was there and wasn't trying to hit her.
@@AsralynGonna stop you there. No killing Khärn. He's the staple of the World Eaters, moreso than Angron I'd argue. Kill Khärn, and you're basically killing the one last remnant of the legion that makes it interesting
@@notani3533 Well have to admit that has been done even in real life. The finnish sniper Simo Häyhä was targeted by artillery striking the area where he was sniping from because Soviets wanted him dead in Winter War and were getting desperate. They did not manage to kill him with that but just thought to mention that it would not be unrealistic. :P
I remember Jenitias death differently, from memory Kharn & a bunch of WEs were running to another engagement and she stood in his way & he body checked her to death. I remember Wondering why she didn't just walk away as shes barely perceptible. It was like she wanted to die (like the writer couldn't think of anything to do with her so she left her meeting with Dorn & Malcador, said goodbye to her sisters and left to die).
History is riddled with great personnalities dying stupidly, like king Henry the 2nd of France: took a shard of spear shaft in the eye during a jousting tournament, died painfully after agonizing for 10 days. I bet you all know at least one.
@8:00 "I know a secret. You're not half as crazy as the Imperium or your brothers or even *you* think you are. It's just easier to justify every sick, twisted thing you've ever done when you have a "fate" to hide behind." So long as we're referencing Batman.
Konrad will be re-born (no longer insane) when the Corona Nox is placed on the right Night Lords head (Decimus). Jago Sevatarion is finding his Nightmare Mantle and Mercy and Forgiveness after the Lion and Sanguinius launched them into deep space. Konrad, Sevatar and 20'000 marines believed killed during the scouring are uniting the legion and 'Come for you'
0:41 yea it’s almost Christmas, know what else I don’t have?? My Big E I ordered. Cmon MajorKill, customer service said November/beginning of December….
I'd probably say Shadrak medusons death was a bit of a bummer. Made the iron hands look like A holes and kinda sucked that he didn't get to go down in glory
They did Krole dirty. It would have been better if she was written as a prodigy with great potential whose rise to greatness was brutally cut short by Kharn.
my first game of epic was me imperium facing an experienced eldar player. I was loosing bad until I managed to shoot his avatar in the eye with a single devastator squad and get perfect rolls. He rage quit and that classed as a win for me :p
For me sevatar, dude is the reason I liked the nightlords so much 1st or 2nd strongest space marine ever, only guy who dares tell Konrad, dude fought the lion and lived and his death yup captured and never seen again not even confirmed dead, give that man a death many loved him more than Konrad (including his whole legion)
Was expecting Ferrus to make the list, got surprised to hear about the pariah instead, well played. Edit to change: if you're texting/writing "bruh" to a south slav, prepare to be made fun of, hard and long (it means "hernia").
NOOOOOPPPPEEEEE. Krolls death was soo well written.. especially the audiobook version.. her slicing through world eaters like they are nothing.. and then you hear Emma Gregory’s voice break and stutter when Kroll sees kharn… I still tear up every time because you as the reader already know what’s gonna happen. If anything Emma’s voice acting made it even better IMO
I still remember when Grey knights became a thing they changed the rules on the Avatar so it would be classed as a Demon, suddenly every army had something that could one tap it. Sure, back then the Avatar was cheap points wise but there was a reason literally no-one uses them on the TT
We all have a soft spot for the shattered Legions mate and yes when one of them dies it's like one of my personal friends just bit it...., NOT REALLY but you know what I mean LOL
100% agree about the avatars of Khaine. They are meant to be the eldar’s top-tier unit that only gets involved when shit has gone super pear shaped and represents the strength of tens of millions of years of Eldar civilisation. To have Calgar kill one with one punch is just down right insulting as an Eldar fan. Especially since the avatar would have been several metres taller than Calgar. Screw GW for their apparent disdain for Eldar players/fans.
with the Konrad i think he's got one of the best send out of any of the characters in warhammer cuz it just makes sense dude was the most twisted but human character the guy refused any reality in which he was the bad guy him the man with the most twisted legion the one with the most twisted morals he was given the most twisted primarch death the least flashy balls to the wall mortal combat death because a mortal combat all out battle wasn't his code it wasn't flashy it was just a kill the perfect way out for the guy
Did GW confirm Yarricks death? Cause last I heard it was reported that a Ron killed Hol. I woulda thought that Yarrick put that news out in order to point Ghaz at a bigger target?
Erebus absolutely should've died against Kharn. As his purpose in the narrative was pretty much completed. And killing Argel Tal should've been the time where all of his treachery comes back to bite him in the ass. It would've been the perfect, cathartic death and a high note to send Erebus off. By having him get picked apart by the friend of a man he backstabbed.
As much as I (and others no doubt) don't like it when a really cool or popular character dies in a lame or unheroic way, I think that it really helps to sell the setting. Like you have these mighty heroes or great warriors, but this is war. War doesn't care if you're a seven hundred year old Terminator of the First Company or some new Guardsman on his first deployment. You die all the same. Sometimes that death is heroic and valiant, other times you step on a mine or get sniped by some idiot several kilometres away. As much as we want our favourite Termie Marine or lovable Guardsman to die a noble death, that doesn't always happen
Konrad is an interesting case. I feel like we needed a genuinely cool traitor legion who wasn’t a bunch of Chaos following pussies and thankfully GW gave us the Night Lords. If we need Konrad’s weird death to help solidify the basis of the Night Lord’s strange moral code then I’ll accept it
I dont completely agree with Kurze, or at least the justification behind it. Adeptus Ridiculous actually put it very well. Konrad had foresight but also an extreme sense of justice. He believed his visions were 100% fated to happen, which he used to justify his actions. If he gave in to the idea that his visions were NOT fate, then hes admitting that all the horrible things he did were because he wanted to. When he saw his own death, he HAD to know it was fate, otherwise he was proving everyone else right. That he was truly a monster. Him allowing himself to be killed was vindication. He "proved" he wasnt a monster because he wanted to be, it was because he was fated to be. Dying but proving his point was better than living and being wrong

I still remember from Cruze's novel where he has a conversation with the emperor before the assassin arrives .. although whether that was real or just a hallucination Konrad was having but i liked the fact the emperor like forgave him for the shit he did because in a way he fucked by fate & then chided him for thinking that his visions were set in stone & that he could not change them.
Wonder how he would have turned out if Hawkboy spent time with him and talked about his own future sight.
With the primarchs Returning an interesting Video would be about which traitor could Return loyal and which loyalist could Return traitor. This would be an unexpected Twist in the setting
Argel's death was sad not lame. Very suiting for the warrior with a death from the scum, Erebus.
Erebus is a better character imo, he's a proper villain whereas Argel Tal is a soy boy who pretends he's good at heart, don't get why he gets so much love.
Then again I'm sure if he wasn't so popular I'd be rooting for him as I like complex characters but the contrarian in me gets annoyed at the over abundance of argel tal love haha
I'm surprised there was no mention about Yarrik dying off screen. Yarrik, the man who made the Armaggedon Steel Legion one of the most famous IG regiments and part of most iconic rivalry in 40k, and GW couldn't be bothered to even specify his cause of death.
N o t d e a d
The death of Ekene, Chapter Master of the Celestial Lions was pretty lame. After surviving his Chapter's devastation at Armageddon, he spends 100 years defiantly rebuilding his chapter while trapped in Imperium Nihilus, only to be decapitated by an assassin while at a war council with the rest of the Adeptus Vaelari.
My Christmas gift of Majorkill Flesh is weak just came in and I am currently wearing it! Merry Christmas, Majorkill and everyone!
Nah that collateral kill was definitley funny
I would love to see a kill cam of it
So we’re just ignoring Rogal Dorn being ripped apart by generic chaos space marines off screen and Commisar Yarrick being bested by old age?
technically we don't know what happened to dorn. i still like the TTS version where he survived and simply disguised himself as a custodes and has been trying to save the imperium from the shadows for 10,000 years as best he could. it would make sense because 1. no one is ever going to question the authority of a custodes and 2. would explain why the imperium has done as well as it has for 10,000 years.
For Commissar Yarrick was expecting big final battle with orks but chaos random attack not even in a novel yet.
Yarrick dying off screen and Ghaz so far not doing anything about it should also compare with these, maybe not choking something that doesn’t breathe to death but still worth mentioning.
A video on the first founding chapters and there relationships with there most prominent catchers would cool
" But then brother Bombastus burst through a wall!" Love that sentance
brother bombastus is one of the most on the nose names and I love it
Khârn just strolling through Jenetia Krole without even realizing it was shameful. Thanks for bringing it up.
Krulls death made me actually laugh out loud when it went to Kharns perspective.
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
Just imagine Talos killing M’Shen before she could kill Curze and then 10 000 years later we get Thramas Crusade part 2 electric boogaloo
I actually appreciate the occasional lame death for major characters in a setting like Warhammer 40K because it helps with establishing the theme of the brutal and fical nature of the universe as a whole and warfare in general. It also appears in other war game franchises, where a major ruler and all around god-level strategist and polical player died of a heart attack.
Id say you could probably add shadrak meduson to that list cause he definitely didn't deserve qhat he got
Wasn’t there a bit of lore that hinted that Konrad’s crown, Corona Nox, had an Aeldari soul stone on it so he lives on through it?
Konrad death was the most fitting death in 40 k. It is poetic justice. For the best written primarch. Honestly, if someone gets resurrected i hope it’s Konrad I hope he becomes cured of madness. Imagine a not insane konrad coming to the setting and the reaction of guiliman and lion.
In the legend of the death of Kurze, do we know for 100% that M'shen actually killed him? And where would his skull be?
She never got away with the head. Not sure who has it but most likely destroyed or hidden somewhere by one of the warbands.
Surprised he didn't mention the chaptermaster of the celestial lions casually getting decapitated in a meeting
Holding out hope for Majorkills Rogue Trader stream 😁
A top 10 best character video for each space marine legion and direct chapter would be cool
Reminds me of Jason of the Argonauts. The guy have many adventures that should have gave him an epic death but he survived them all. Then many years later he revisited his old ship which is now rotting away. While reminiscing, the bow breaks off and lands on him killing him.
Happy holidays, bro. Are you planning to do some more BJJ tournament videos in 24? That was awesome.
Kharn killing Jenetia Krole by accident like she was a cloaked spy in TF2 is actually a good thing because it actually saves face for both characters.
Put yourself in the shoes of the writers: Kharn and Krole cross paths, you need Kharn to live, but can't contrive a way for him to roll three natural twenties in a row to beat a named custodes level threat. By all rights, even Kharn should get bodied in such a matchup.
What do you do?
Have Kharn critically miss instead: you can't say Kharn outplayed Jenetia because he barely knew she was there and wasn't trying to hit her.
Should of just had Kharn killed off ngl, Much better characters that needed attention later on like Forrix and Eidolon
@@AsralynGonna stop you there. No killing Khärn. He's the staple of the World Eaters, moreso than Angron I'd argue. Kill Khärn, and you're basically killing the one last remnant of the legion that makes it interesting
Better option would be to not have the two meet or be broken up mid combat, she basically got an off screen death
Would be fitting if she got killed by an artillery bombardment because the traitor can't see her in direct engagement.
@@notani3533 Well have to admit that has been done even in real life. The finnish sniper Simo Häyhä was targeted by artillery striking the area where he was sniping from because Soviets wanted him dead in Winter War and were getting desperate. They did not manage to kill him with that but just thought to mention that it would not be unrealistic. :P
Unless his lore has been expanded, surely Yarrick needs to be on this list?
I remember Jenitias death differently, from memory Kharn & a bunch of WEs were running to another engagement and she stood in his way & he body checked her to death.
I remember Wondering why she didn't just walk away as shes barely perceptible. It was like she wanted to die (like the writer couldn't think of anything to do with her so she left her meeting with Dorn & Malcador, said goodbye to her sisters and left to die).
Shadrak Meduson. Such an underwhelming end to one of the best resistance fighters in the heresy.
History is riddled with great personnalities dying stupidly, like king Henry the 2nd of France: took a shard of spear shaft in the eye during a jousting tournament, died painfully after agonizing for 10 days.
I bet you all know at least one.
@8:00 "I know a secret. You're not half as crazy as the Imperium or your brothers or even *you* think you are.
It's just easier to justify every sick, twisted thing you've ever done when you have a "fate" to hide behind."
So long as we're referencing Batman.
Her major can you talk about what animal still exist from old terra, what pets people have, beats of war, ect?
Video starts at 1:52
Man such badass characters gone with a whimper instead of a bang
Could we see a lore video on Sgt Rafen of the Blood Angels?
Konrad will be re-born (no longer insane) when the Corona Nox is placed on the right Night Lords head (Decimus). Jago Sevatarion is finding his Nightmare Mantle and Mercy and Forgiveness after the Lion and Sanguinius launched them into deep space. Konrad, Sevatar and 20'000 marines believed killed during the scouring are uniting the legion and 'Come for you'
Even great heroes die normal deaths, some even pitiful. Game of Thrones and 40k taught me this a long time ago lol
0:41 yea it’s almost Christmas, know what else I don’t have?? My Big E I ordered. Cmon MajorKill, customer service said November/beginning of December….
I'd probably say Shadrak medusons death was a bit of a bummer. Made the iron hands look like A holes and kinda sucked that he didn't get to go down in glory
They did Krole dirty. It would have been better if she was written as a prodigy with great potential whose rise to greatness was brutally cut short by Kharn.
1. Never even heard of Jenetia until now.
2. I am beyond fucking infuriated with her death. I might end up as a Khorne Berserker on Kharn's level.
To be fair with the last Avatar death you mentioned, Tyranids don't do "duels" so that is lore accurate.
i mean yeah but still, an avatar of a god shouldn't have gone down so easy
Brotha Bombastus
Bomba fantastic
my first game of epic was me imperium facing an experienced eldar player. I was loosing bad until I managed to shoot his avatar in the eye with a single devastator squad and get perfect rolls. He rage quit and that classed as a win for me :p
I literally finished saturnine yesterday. Such a fucking good book
Conrad's death itself was massively lame... but that is what makes it work so well.
Hey majorkill can you do a video on the people who lead the legions before their primarchs where found
Its interesting that they say that the iq of primarchs are incredible but they act and behave like toddlers
Can you do video on the greatest things the Custodians have done
A video of the top ten community made wholesome moments would be great
For me sevatar, dude is the reason I liked the nightlords so much 1st or 2nd strongest space marine ever, only guy who dares tell Konrad, dude fought the lion and lived and his death yup captured and never seen again not even confirmed dead, give that man a death many loved him more than Konrad (including his whole legion)
War is hell, most deaths are pretty inglorious.
Was expecting Ferrus to make the list, got surprised to hear about the pariah instead, well played.
Edit to change: if you're texting/writing "bruh" to a south slav, prepare to be made fun of, hard and long (it means "hernia").
Can you create a video about whether the emperor forsaw the downfall of the webway or not? Or if he forsaw the heresey and why would he allow it?
NOOOOOPPPPEEEEE. Krolls death was soo well written.. especially the audiobook version.. her slicing through world eaters like they are nothing.. and then you hear Emma Gregory’s voice break and stutter when Kroll sees kharn… I still tear up every time because you as the reader already know what’s gonna happen. If anything Emma’s voice acting made it even better IMO
I still remember when Grey knights became a thing they changed the rules on the Avatar so it would be classed as a Demon, suddenly every army had something that could one tap it.
Sure, back then the Avatar was cheap points wise but there was a reason literally no-one uses them on the TT
We all have a soft spot for the shattered Legions mate and yes when one of them dies it's like one of my personal friends just bit it...., NOT REALLY but you know what I mean LOL
If every epic character in a universe as vast as 40k had an equally epic death, that would just be lame.
Video raises an interesting question: does khorne want pariah blood and skulls?
Also, how does pariah-ness effect servitorisation?
I mean my apothecary once punched a Avatar of Kaine to death. (yes a zero ap damage 1) Opponent even CP rerolled it.
Being the most powerful Priah sounds like a no joke.
100% agree about the avatars of Khaine. They are meant to be the eldar’s top-tier unit that only gets involved when shit has gone super pear shaped and represents the strength of tens of millions of years of Eldar civilisation. To have Calgar kill one with one punch is just down right insulting as an Eldar fan. Especially since the avatar would have been several metres taller than Calgar. Screw GW for their apparent disdain for Eldar players/fans.
with the Konrad i think he's got one of the best send out of any of the characters in warhammer cuz it just makes sense dude was the most twisted but human character the guy refused any reality in which he was the bad guy him the man with the most twisted legion the one with the most twisted morals he was given the most twisted primarch death the least flashy balls to the wall mortal combat death because a mortal combat all out battle wasn't his code it wasn't flashy it was just a kill the perfect way out for the guy
Hello Majorkill,
Would you kindly make some lore videos on the Imperial Truth, the Imperial Creed, the Ecclesiarchy? Pretty please? Thank you.
Did GW confirm Yarricks death? Cause last I heard it was reported that a Ron killed Hol. I woulda thought that Yarrick put that news out in order to point Ghaz at a bigger target?
I personally hate how try again brag died. Like what kind of one sided fight was that
Thank Q yet again Mr Kill :) :)
Erebus absolutely should've died against Kharn. As his purpose in the narrative was pretty much completed. And killing Argel Tal should've been the time where all of his treachery comes back to bite him in the ass. It would've been the perfect, cathartic death and a high note to send Erebus off. By having him get picked apart by the friend of a man he backstabbed.
As much as I (and others no doubt) don't like it when a really cool or popular character dies in a lame or unheroic way, I think that it really helps to sell the setting. Like you have these mighty heroes or great warriors, but this is war. War doesn't care if you're a seven hundred year old Terminator of the First Company or some new Guardsman on his first deployment. You die all the same. Sometimes that death is heroic and valiant, other times you step on a mine or get sniped by some idiot several kilometres away. As much as we want our favourite Termie Marine or lovable Guardsman to die a noble death, that doesn't always happen
Can you do a video on the Watchers in the Dark?
Konrad is an interesting case. I feel like we needed a genuinely cool traitor legion who wasn’t a bunch of Chaos following pussies and thankfully GW gave us the Night Lords. If we need Konrad’s weird death to help solidify the basis of the Night Lord’s strange moral code then I’ll accept it
ARGEL TAL, YOU MUST SHARE THE RELISH!!!
OK ....HEY KHARN?
YEAH? FANCY SOME RELSIH?
YEAH BOI!!!!!
Another lore video... YEAHHHHHH!
Yeah, they did my boy Argel Tal wrong. That book with Argel, Aquillon, and Cyrene was extremely well written.
I dont completely agree with Kurze, or at least the justification behind it. Adeptus Ridiculous actually put it very well. Konrad had foresight but also an extreme sense of justice. He believed his visions were 100% fated to happen, which he used to justify his actions. If he gave in to the idea that his visions were NOT fate, then hes admitting that all the horrible things he did were because he wanted to. When he saw his own death, he HAD to know it was fate, otherwise he was proving everyone else right. That he was truly a monster. Him allowing himself to be killed was vindication. He "proved" he wasnt a monster because he wanted to be, it was because he was fated to be. Dying but proving his point was better than living and being wrong
@majorkill you gonna do one on Rogue traders??
