    The GOAT at One Liners finally gets his own video! I never really drank the Black Templar coolaid but Grimaldus is one of my favourite Space Daddies in the entire setting.

      There was actually another survivor. A Guardsman named Andrej Valatok. He was also there when the Lions and Templars fought together. He was actually assumed dead in the battle. But he survived again. He's still on Armageddon to this day

    12:25 Probably a guardsman who survived... Most likely, it's probably Andrej Valatok who got listed as dead, memorized on a plague by Grimaldus, and subsequently went to complain to Grimaldus in person demanding he scratch out his name on the plague because apparently, the Imperium doesn't pay dead people. He wanted to retire and take his retirement funds lol.

    Hello Majorkill can you do a video on the timeline. The reason I am asking is because I just got caught up on the Eisenhorn, Ravenor and Bequin books. The thing that bothers me is that the latest Bequin book takes place in like 550.M41. This is really far in the past now so will the 3 book even matter in the overall Galaxy? With the big cliff hanger it ended on I'd hate that nothing would come from it.

      Having watched Majorkill since his channel was new - Between his tone of voice each time, and how many times he dipped back to the _"the only survivor"_ concerning Hellsreach? I took this as him being sarcastic. As the Imperium has recorded Grimaldus as being the only survivor.
      There in the last couple minutes he really brings it home, to me, that he's being sarcastic: when he points out the Cult of Grimaldus - who use a few things that Grimaldus said inside the chapel as some of their sayings - if Grimaldus were the only survivor... exactly _who_ told these people what he had said inside that chapel? It's the "Cave of No Return" idea... How do people always know what ancient artifact is in this cave that no one has ever returned from?

  • @_NIKOS9_NIKOS
    @_NIKOS9_NIKOS 2 ปีที่แล้ว +659

    Honestly for me Grimaldus is at his best (and funniest) when interacting with normal humans outside of combat and just doesnt know how to interact. Like when he met with a bunch of high Imperial personel before the battle of Armagedon where they did nothing but talk about logistics for several days and by the end of it he was just miserable and his friendship with Andrej was not only peak comedy but straight up heartwarming.

    Grimaldus was the first Space Marine Character I read when I first got into 40k, and by the Emperor Divine Hair he was a total badass who inspired me a newbie at the time to continue to dive into the lore of one of my Universes.

They would probably not stop until the last of the lion is kill. The chapter is pretty much doom. Thier homeworld was destroyed and they have less than 100 marines left, their primars reinforcements are "lost" in transit and even most of the primaris geneseeds share by other chapters to them got tampered beyond use iirc.

    One of my favorite part of Helsreach was when Grimaldus used the chain that tied his pistol to wrap it around an ork's neck.
    My plasma pistol is gone, torn from meat some point in the last two days of battle. The chain remains. I wrap it around the beast's throat, and roar my words to the painted ceiling as i strangle the creature in full view of everyone in the room.
    "Take heart, brothers! Fight in the Emperor's name!" The beast trashes as it dies, claws scraping in futility at my ruined armour. I tense my grip, feeling the creature's thick spinal bones begin to click and break. Its piggish eyes are wide with terror, and this... this makes me laugh.

    Grimaldus is what I think is like, peak space marine writing. He's not an ordinary human, he doesn't pretend to be, but he still connects with them despite belonging to a group where it's not a common thing to do that. Grimaldus is an absolute badass, and was one of the reasons I got into Warhammer all those years ago.

    Grimaldus was the only Black Templar surviver, in the novel at least. A stormtrooper who met and talked to Grimaldus a few times (and shows the difference in thinking between humans and Astartes) survived as well as a few other guardmen, but the chad says they will keep quiet about it because it sounds better if Grimaldus was the only one

    Ok, here me out,
    Now we know that only one of Alpharius or Omegon is Loyalist. Or this is what we have been told.
    But it might be a lie, both of them could be Loyalist(Considering one is dead).
    Now we know that Alpha legion invaded the Sol system prematurely because they wanted to show Dorn the weakness in defence knowing Dorn will fortify it. So the loyalist of the two brothers was responsible for this and he died(if it's not other I'm Alpharius).
    But after that the other Primarck provided the same map to Horus, despite having the knowledge of fortification. So he must also be a Loyalist.
