Cheers to Geologie for sponsoring this video!
Vulkan is universally considered to be the kindest and most wholesome of the Primarchs - so it was pretty horrific that he endured the most horrific torturing at the hands of his own brother

Have you been sitting on this video for 2 weeks?
Ah, much better. That blonde thatch on top of your dome just clashed so hard. 🤣
Hello Majorkill,
Would you please make some lore videos on the Imperial Truth, the Imperial Creed, the Ecclesiarchy, and the High Lords of Terra? Pretty please? Thank you.
It’s weird seeing a comment marked as older than the video.
Your gay
Konrad randomly jumping out of the shadows in the impossible maze like a shitty haunted house jumpscare is pretty funny
"OOGA BOOGA BOOGA"
Conrad's Jumpscare Flagship
@@CrashmoreElectricBlue when do we get 5 nights at the imperial palace, where you have to check the cameras for the high lords of terra trying to get you (a custodes) to fill out some pointless beurcracy form that would likely doom millions of civilians.

Vulkan just telling Konrad he’s wrong and a bitch then breaking his bones is awesome.
vulkan reminding konrad his teleporty hammer is still a hammer was my fav moment
@@amritmanhas2630 O: ITS ALSO A HAMMER O:
he then leaves Conrad Alive which probably breaks Conrad more than Vulkan gets broken by the torture
"Its still a hammer" is still the most awesome line in 40k lore.
This truly was our Warhammer 40k
@@I-am-in-excruciating-painas it turns out, there were 40,000 warhammers inside you all along
Konrad was just asking Vulkan how's his health plan if it's apparently great.
Alucard is disrurbed but not THAT disturbed
Being a perpetual is probably the best health plan you could have
I've always heard Nostroman is a very difficult language to learn. Vulcan didn't realize that's just how people communicate there.
But Kurze just raises his insurance rates.
can''t help but hear that in TFS alucard's voice
"You forget Konrad... it is also a Warhammer."
ALMIGHTY BONK
Of all the trials that Vulcan went through it's a bit surprising that something as simple as atmospheric re-entry would break him.
I think its a case of the straw that broke the camels back.
Yeah, he went through so much shit, but by that point he was holding on by a thread
i mean, its essentially atomic scale flensing/abbolation its gonna be fucking excruciating
@@waynefiddler3609 but he doesn't remember anything from his deaths. So how was that enough to break him?
He had probably let his guard down, thinking he was safe, only then to be hit with re-entry.
@@michaelhowell2326 Because he had also just gone through the endless maze, and clearly some kind of vestigial memory of each of his deaths/torture sessions stayed with him, as otherwise why would things like the hallucinatory Ferrus get slowly worse and worse? The insanity by re-entry combined with the torture of this current life broke the vestiges of sanity that had already been snapped by the previous sessions that Vulkan didn't consciously remember.
Kurze: (stupid elaborate torture plots)
Vulkan: H A M M E R
Things I didn't know prior to this video:
Vulkan's immortality appears to have been unknown prior to the heresy
Where that little Ferrus ghost stating "You are weeeeeeak!" from TTS came from
And you'd think someone cursed to outlive everyone he every knew did care less about others... Vulkan is just the best!
A skull ghost. A skhost...
You are weak, Corvus!
Vulkan: "Kill me."
Konrad Curse: "Later."
Hehe
Should it be reversed ?
lol hehe haha knee slapper mate😂
Konrad Curze: "Kill me."
Vulkan: "Later."
Is that a tf2 reference
Vulcan needed a hug after this
Wonder if he is taking time to recover from the amount of bad stuff bes been through
Yeah the atmosphere of Maggrage gave him a warm hug
Nope. In this state he was set off by a child cursing at him and that’s how we got the meme of Salamanders blitzing eldradi children. And then some time after he did better but was forever haunted by the fact he killed an innocent child
The only thing Lord Vulkan was afraid of was losing empathy for his tormenter
Vulcan truly had no enemies
@@thatonejoey1847 while also being the black guy from the meme whos like 'i want all of de problems' lol
@@ChillAssTurtlelol ikr
@@thatonejoey1847say that to every Xenos he ever burn
Tbh I love this story because it taught me a valuable life lesson: The absolute worst thing you can do to someone who wants to see you fail is to not only succeed, but to be nice to them while doing it.
This was such a sad story, poor Konrad tried so hard but just couldn’t kill Vulkan 😔
vulkan was submitted to the worst form of torture, he had to watch as Konrad creases his pair of mastercrafted jords
@@ranjela455not the salamander jays
yer agree Matthew i feel sorry for Konrad The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results i mean this is why he legit allowed some assassin to noob kill him. (shakes head in such shame) if vulkan was realy a nice guy he would of just pretended to be dead and props would of changed night haunters life.
@@spacegodzilla3951😭 it's the salamanders jays 4 as well
But in the end it didn't even maaaaater
I love that Konrad thought Vulcan was trying to teleport while he just wanted to smack him around, it's the equivalent of being jumped while changing tires and going for the tire iron
Konrad: Haha! Your Teleport hammer won't work here!
Vulcan: I didn't want the teleporter.
Konrad: oh... fuck...
Vulcan gets TTS voice, “Come here brotha!”
It's time for a big boop
Vulkan needs to be next loyalist primarch to come back
Don’t you mean come ‘black’?
If he the 3rd primarch to come back i hope he gets a better hammer because that his main weapon
VULKAN LIVES!
@@HondoHoss77💀
STOMP STOMP
“It is also a hammer” is so bluntly worded it’s hilarious
You gotta love the climax of this story bit, where Vulkan just turns around and beats the absolute shit out of Konrad. So satisfying.
Wait! the ghost of Ferrus Manus isn't just a TTS Joke!?
Nah He's Confirmed Legion Of The Damned, Emperor Summoned Him Headless In The Webway Along With HIs Fallen Sons To Fight Daemons.
'You are weaaaaak Vulcan' is canon😂
I know, right? That actually blew my mind for some reason. It just sounds like something coming from a parody.
Don’t worry Kirbie, we’ve got MILLION OF ‘UGS TO GIVE YA!
I know right!!!! I can’t believe it. Okay I can believe it, but it sounds so ridiculous I thought it was tts too. I wonder if cannon Corax can see it too? Was that TTS? anyone read the actual book around here? I would but I’m really cheap and mad at GW about TTS. Okay maybe just annoyed, but you get my point.
Konrad: “Am I so out of touch?…… No. Its the one brother that could have loved and helped me that is wrong.”
2:53 Konrad Curze: "All it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest man alive to lunacy."
Everyone says "Curze is evil Batman" but well... He apparently is also Joker...
Does that make Vulkan Superman by default then or is he Batman?
@@ryanmaclean1720Corax would be a better Batman. Because, you know, black armour + black bird + attack from the shadows + prefer hand to hand combat + hold justice and avenging the innocent in high regard + tragic back story.
@@FMirage2000C fair enough
Just waiting for the video about how each of the pre heresy primarchs would have reacted to being in Guillimans situation as imperial regent, can't wait !
Dude you never stop keep it up
@@kodak5678 we are almost there , I can feel it
@@trimeerious4349 hope your suggestion is made into a video someday
I admire your dedication.
And how Constantine valdor would do it too. Since he seems to be amassing his own army.
When Kurze and Vulcan finally throw hands is a perfect example of strength beating technique.
Konrad is the most jaggedly written primarch in the setting. He nearly kills The Lion in their first fight (the first time when Kurze was on top of Lion, strangling him and it took the interference and a Dark Angel to save Lion. I'm aware that he got bodied the second time.), but then Vulkan says he's weak and everyone went easy on him. I guess Konrad's only as strong as the plot needs him to be at any given time.
to be fair this is vulkan we are talking about who is by far the most physically strong primarch. the lion may be strong as well but his power is also in his swift speed and relatively tactical mind.
Or they didn't actually go easy on him and he just said it.
Vulkan said that stuff to goat konrad and make him lose his cool,also Vulcan is strong AF
Konrad beat the crap out of Rogal to near death and fought Sangunious to a stalemate. He is also said to be like Corax's evil twin in power when Corax and Kurze met claws and saw each others eyes and Corax is top tier as well. So Curze is pretty top tier in melee. He also defeats Valkan in unremembered empire and kills him but he regenerates again.
Konrad is nigh-unbeatable when the writers remember that he can see the future. Like when he fought the similarly precognitive Sanguinius, who I think is pretty much established now as being the most powerful Primarch in melee combat, and neither could even scratch the other.
Hey Majorkill! Here's a fun challenge for you! What if primarchs had switched planets? Try to save as many primarchs as possible by making them trade the planets they landed on, like ceograch did with Fulgrim and Jagathai. Only catch is that they can't land on the planet they originally landed on. How many primarchs could be saved?
This is a great idea
@@fluffybat5421 Thanks!
Depends on who’s doing the saving and if the planets are at random.
@@ryanmaclean1720 Majorkill is. And he can choose.
So far I discovered not a single book that was even remotely boring. Different stories require different ways to tell them. And "Vulcan lives", for me, is one of the best.
Once again when it comes to pure strength of will, Konrad proved to be the least of his brothers.
How is the only Primarch who completely conquered his planet entirely by himself the least of his brothers in will, not to mention never falling to chaos despite literally being insane.
@@robertemerson1087 because he was unwilling to learn, accept that he might be wrong, it requires a lot of willpower to accept and move beyond your mistakes, something that Konrad never did. As for the chaos part. Chaos doesn't prey on the insane, it prey's on the desperate, the night lords were many things, but not desperate, atleast not in their entirety
@@robertemerson1087 Being a apex superbean slaughtering your lessers has nothing to do with will, he was simply following damaged programming xD
Vulkan deserves his vacation.
This is why everyone loves Vulkan, be like Vulkan.
Didn't Vulkan bitchslap Kurze with his hammer before he left? After throwing Kurze into the shield holding the hammer in place? So Vulkan got the last laugh I feel.
He still needs a hug after the absolute nightmarish hell Kurze subjected him to.
dude i love your videos, you get so descriptive in example the details of the rock slab room vs the goals or reasons for it. although so much so its slightly distracting lolol what i mean is you paint such a great picture of place and mindsets in these events i find myself getting lost in thought about what was just talked about while you continue into more examples that it sometimes makes it hard to keep up, like i need more time to enjoy the process of what you just described. maybe im just a zoggin slow git being an Ork player/lover.
TLDR im slow, but i love your content keep it up!
The Night Haunter may still be alive due to his crown having an eldar stone place in it, But what do you guys think?
Were was that stated? A book or exertp would be good.
And if said Eldar stone was put in a infinity circuit or put in a mech
@@noahsawyer7155 True 😊
Does Eldar stones work on other souls than Eldar?
As far as I'm aware his crown having a soul stone is a theory to justify his return, though he really wouldn't need it as Malchador said they could bring back Ferrus after he lost his head. What a Konrad return would look like idk could be interesting.
I still think even if Vulkan kills him at the end he would have been justified as a combatant of war. It would not have shown weakness.
konrad was goading mentally unstable vulkan in this scene, who didn't want to kill a primarch like the traitors. Vulkan had an oppurtunity to kill him during the great crusade, with konrad saying hes a monster like him, so maybe that added up as well
Agreed
Thanks for mentioning the book at the end. Many times when I watch your videos, I want to know more, but dont know where to start looking. Please keep this part up in future videos!
7:25
"And he tried REALLY HARD. With a FORK."
"I burned to a crisp- UNPLEASANT IT WAS!"
Idk how anyone could skip that book. Ive now read nearly the entire horus heresy and that book broke my heart. It makes you love vulkan in a way you just cant love the other primarchs.its so heartbreaking watching him go through all that. That and personally, it removes any sympathy for Conrad i possibly might have had at any point afterwards. If there was a single brother he had that he should have been kind to, it was vulkan. Hes the only one who would have tried to empathize with him and even attempt to consider what he was going through. And rather than respect or appreciate that, he ripped dude apart. Conrad is a bad person, his tactics are not better than the other legions, and he deserves no sympathy.
I'm surprised that the salamanders arent going full-on 'dark angels on the fallen' on the night lords after this.
They would have, but not enough of them around initially for revenge quest. In the current setting? It could have been possible. But chasing the night lords means ignoring cries for help from citizens they run past so… I get why they don’t. But I bet they wouldn’t refuse if a night lords war and were dumb enough to attack some civilians anywhere near a Salamander company. I’m gonna look up night lord salamander conflicts. Thanks for the idea man! 🙂
They’re going with the reflect-on-your-actions method of torture. Ultimately being a beacon that proves you’re wrong through sheer existence is the most destructive thing that they can do to them
Majorkill you should do a video on the life of a chaos cultists
Video idea:
What character would each Primarch (or named characters from other 40k races, for wider angle) roleplay in a DnD game? (Emperor included)
(Yes, the TTS undertones are obvious!)
Yes
So this is how Emperor TTS got its “brain ghost Ferrus” came from.
Listening to the Vulkan lives audiobook was a blast
"VULKAN LIVES!"
@@RockingAndStoning VUUUULKAAAAN LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVES!!! Also kudos to Gramaticus for bringing his sanity back 🐐 🗿 🍷
Thanks for doing these videos your content has helped me through some tough times keep doing what you do
If I didn't already play Black Templars I would definitely get down on a Salamanders army
Literally just finished reading this book today. I thoroughly enjoyed it
Thrilling 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 drank a shot ever every time numeon said 'Vulkan lives' and almost died
You just *know* Vulkan was practicing that hammer line during all his torture.
“Nobody craved death more than Vulkan”
Dante: 😢
I remember reading this book an finding it pretty hard work. This video summary is the way to go.
Who says this book was boring? Shit had me binging it through sheer tension!
Always a fun time getting a bit of spicy torture lore. But when you gonna cover Aun Shi and his badass lore
As someone who's been revived twice death sucks Majorkill trust me.
Nice video MajorKill!
From this description of vulkan lives I think I might be a good book
The Emperor: makes his son a brutal torturer
His son: is a brutal torturer
The Emperor: "surprised pikachu face"
The Emperor didn't make Konrad a torturer.
The Emperor had no impact on the upbringing and mental development of the Primarchs. Konrad was insane, because he lived on a sunless, crime ridden hive world.
Maybe like learn the most basic lore before you try sounding smart?
@@SlaaneshM30 maybe try to take a joke before making a pragraph long rant
@@Spiderfisch honestly a bad joke . I agree with the other guy .
Ah, torture by impossible maze. An RCT2 classic, never goes out of style.
You can't break Vulcan, all the hugs he gives makes him stronger!
“Killed Vulkan with cutlery” is an amazing statement
I can’t believe Konrad said the
n-word to Vulkan, a true torture of the soul 😢
That time Konrad held a fluffy bunny, named floofy and didn’t let Vulkan hug, pet or even say Floofy was so brutal.
I wish they let Post-Heresy Dorn and a Dark Eldar at Konrad with every single tool possible
@Majorkill.- my man you dont have the verification mark lmao
Here is a video idea: Power scaling the 40K universe, from individual characters, to factions themselves with one another.
my headcanon is that vulcan has just hiding on some craftworld, getting therapy from several generations of eldar, and in return, beating the shit out of anything that comes near the craftworld
The most prominent example of the ‘Mind Break’ tag in the whole of 40K
“And Konrad tried really really hard. With a fork!” -magnus the red
I find the idea of traitors space marines agent smith dog piling on Vulcan very funny
Anyone else imagine Vulkan’s voice/personality like Bayek? Idk, just how he loves kids and his friends, but absolutely WILL shit on you when you need it??
Well, Vulcan needet a factory reboot from that perpetual with the crystal made from Emperor's psychic power.
So Conrad just had to drop Vulkan from orbit to make him go insane huh.
tbf he fell into the vacuum of space twice
Do a video on the chief librarian from each legion.
Thus not even a fellow primarch can kill him, not me, not Russ and not Conrad Kurze. And he TRIED!! Really, really hard! With a fork!
Its also a hammer.
Best line in the series
Man, just read this book. Would’ve been cool to see this beforehand. Then again there are a few chapters about John’s shenanigans that are important to the next book so IDK.
Vulkan didn’t suffer half as much as I did when I forced myself through reading Vulkan Lives
It could be argued that Vulkan allowing konrad to live was evil because of all the misery and death he caused after and killing him would of saved a lot of lives
So evil in the same way that Batman is evil.
Well, that is his brother, so there was probably a bit more deep sympathy at that moment
@seanyoung9014 batman can't kill his villains like joker for many reasons not just he doesn't like killing.
For one. Killing them opens up the extreme possibility of power wars for their underlings to take the place of who was killed or rival gangs. It also removes the trust of the GCPD in batman.
The most important reason is that if Bruce kills, he won't be able to stop. Unlike superman who doesn't have a no kill rule for that reason. Batman can't succumb once and that's the jokers whole mission. To get him to succumb. Gotham is ruined if Bruce Wayne kills
@@samseloo4962 It was a joke. I do understand the distinction.😅 Good explanation tho.
That’s not what evil means.
I live “STOMP STomp🥺😢😭”
Guys and gal, I just got 2 ads w Major Minis on diff vids today and it was Awesome!!
I always loved the part where he even spares Konrad after heavy hammering of him.
Love it, absolutely love it.
Poor vulkan, i wanna give him a hug and a flamethrower
Hey I know living saints are just like loyalist demons, but can we get a video on whether or not the eldar came into contact with legions of the damned / living saints and how they reacted to these badasses?
Vulkan got stuck in a instant-death save
I don't see how someone would find this boring. I'm gonna have to listen to the book and judge for myself.
thats only like a third of the book, another third is a group of shattered legions with john grammaticus on a world the word bearers have taken over, another third is vulkan and numeon flashbacks
@@kelakogreenaddict1888 I wanna hear about some world bearer shenanigans
@@milkinanime7047 fair enough, there’s a word bearer who’s quite interesting in later books in it, imo
Do you think you could do a video about what you think would happen if all of the loyalist Primarchs returned. Do you think a civil war would breakout within the Imperium due to some of them not agreeing with how it’s being ran or do you think that they would actually band together and stop the threats of chaos and xenos?
My favourite Primarch. I so want him back in the current 40k world
The killing joke in WH40K
Well, Konrad Curze is evil batman... So makes him Joker-like.
Conrad: c'mon brotha, it's just a prank.
Vulkan: yep, and this is just a *hammer*
One can make a case for Dante wanting to die more than Vulkan.
Dante tried to refuse Sanguinius' orders (to live) on Baal. He wanted it that badly.
Hello Majorkill,
Would you please make some lore videos on the Imperial Truth, the Imperial Creed, the Ecclesiarchy, and the High Lords of Terra? Pretty please? Thank you.
Not related to the video but I read the Infinite and the Divine and it was really good so thanks for recommending it
With the power of friendship, anything is possible (even immortality)
This was my fave book of the Heresy so far
always nice to have a happy ending
Konrad essentially went from Batman to the joker
Vulkans torture brought about my favorite imagine in all of 40k. Vulkan giving dorn a bro hug.
Make a video of your guess on every primarch warp ability such as corvus corax and the lion
This furthered my belief in the emperor.
I seem to recall Curze killing Vulkan with a FORK! Yeah, I'm not kidding, either. 😂
The Salamanders need some love in the lore. They're usually just background characters when they deserve to be main characters. During the Great Crusade, they numbered as few as 7,500 Space Marines, but they still managed to bring planets into compliance just as effectively as some of the larger Legions, and have since not only recovered but managed to remain the most true to what they were when they were a Legion.
not effectively as night lords, as shown in vulkan lives
@@kelakogreenaddict1888 Worlds conquered by the Night Lords didn't stay compliant.
@@ExecratedPlaysGaming fair enough, didn't know that, but makes sense, considering nostramo basically didn't either
@kelakogreenaddict1888 The Salamanders are awesome, they just don't get any of their specialist units in plastic so nobody pays attention to them. In lore they have unique weapons and a huge armory full of Heresy Era armor. Oh, and they all wear Artificer Armor and wield Artificer Weapons.
