man i love the "witness your doooooooom" from DOW spamming in the background.
so nostalgic and memesish.
the emperor also has tens of thousands of years of experience under his belt on top of being an incredibly op psyker quite honestly even in his pre throne form for all intents and purposes he was a a veritable psychic god in human flesh
There is a reason why Horus (a literal demigod megasoldier) needed the blessings of all four Chaos Gods just to have a chance.
He is also the number 1 sorcerer in the galaxy. Ahriman saw the Emperor's spell weaving on Magnus' soul when big red started to shatter. His sorcery also allowed him to make evil psycher torture machines aka Psi-Titans. Only a few can reach equal his levels of sorcerous knowledge and power.
That's what Lorgar said. Glad to see that after 10000 years, people have woken up to the true gospel ;-)
Clearly not a god, aie.

@@vavra222 ok *turns 360 degrees* LIAR

Another good example of a trained psyker outdoing an untrained one is Ravenor. After being crippled in the second Eisenhorn book he had to depend on his psychic abilities for basically everything, they became enhanced in the same way blind people can hear better. He was able to hold his own for a long time with a high level psyker, and that was even after being injured.
Is Ravenor that one psyker Inquisitor who is in a magical coffin? Im not that well versed on Inquisitor characters but i remember hearing about a magical coffin man.
Eisenhorn's powers: please do this for me
Mephiston's powers: Flaming wings, flaming sword, flying, shockwaves, force fields, launching javelins at enemies, being a scary vampire, yelling at people telepathically, telephoning Ka'Bandha and telling him to fuck off
Chaos is the debris of the War in Heaven.
Ahriman would murder both of those guys, granted he would be wounded
Kharn straught up slaughters them
@@cryptosporidium1375 Yeah, if only the Old Ones didn't piss off the Necrontyr and help them of their problem.
Or at least wipe out their dying race as a mercy kill.
telephoning Ka'Bandha and telling him to fuck off, lmao
Don’t forget controlling the flow of time including stopping and rewinding time.
1:24 "Wizards are real, neat." - poor schmuck's last words before disaster with daemons popping out of psykers' heads and overruning the planet.
Can just imagine Harry Potter turning into a screaming flesh portal for chaos demons to walk through xD
When Nemesor Tekheron encounters Mephiston, he describes his powers is only a faint shadow compared to the Eldar during their prime, that is fucking Mephiston we’re talking about, let that sink in. It just shows you how batshit insane the War in Heaven was.
Yeah, Eldrad, likely the strongest Farseer, beat Abaddon 1x1 and his Power were comparable with a small scale astronomican.
He likely would be a second class soldier in The War in The Heavens
Third or Fourth class
Shalaxi Helbane curbstomped the Ynnari which includes Eldrad and he WAS NOT USING ALL OF HIS POWER
Chaos Daemons, Eldar and Necrons ARE SEVERAL TIMES MORE POWERFUL DURING THE WAR IN HEAVEN
Well, i just gotta say, having melanoma doesn't make you super-intelligent and able to take on frog people...
@@christiandauz3742 To be fair, I would also blame the Shalaxi bit due to GW hating the Eldar, and deciding to write them into a corner with "Oh btw you can't get the last sword because it's dangling between Slaanesh's legs"
@@keiranteccam7820
Slaanesh along has a shit-ton of forces
The EC have over 100k Marines. Slaanesh Titans, Knights, Xenos, Skitarii, Traitor Guard, Cultists, Mutants, Beastmen, Daemons, etc.
Many Slaanesh warbands that don't belong to the EC as well
Slaanesh can always force Fabius Bile and his creations to fight for him
There is no way the combined Eldar would beat Slaanesh's Hordes outside the Warp, let alone inside

So you’ve met my ex-wife
LOL
Now how the FETH the Clown God hasnt hired you yet 😂
Zing
Lmao
I wish I had the brains to insult people like this
Psykers take the phrase " i feel like my head is going to explode" to its most literall sense
Another fantasy thats pretty close to being a psyker, is dragon age. Amazing power, but the risk of being possessed by a demon. Not to mention if you're really bad at it, you can be turned into a tranquil. They drain you of all emotion and feeling so you aren't possessed or using your magic accidentally.
So yeah, being a wizard isn't always the coolest.
I feel like soulbinding works more like "random people put money into your wallet as you pass by" as opposed to "random people come to ask if you want to take thier money" so when a psycher soulbinds, he gives a part of his soul to big e.
Makes sense.
damn dude so all of humanity is basically Big E status. just a corpse, slowly decaying as time goes on and will eventually be consumed by its environment completely and inevitably...even if they store enough souls into Big E to make him last until the last humans are dead, once they run out of souls thats it right? so everyone's warpjuice in the end anyway so why they bothering lol I have now come to the realization that Chaos Marines are the most rational and based of the humans/former humans
Soul binding isn’t really based on power level, just will power and control. This is done in batches.
Warp sorcery is something else, and can be done by non-psykers, though chaos psykers often use it to enhance their powers.
Anyone imagine the Black Ships look like vans that just drive by psykers before some Sisters of Silence jump out and throw them into a potato sack
Nerd Psyker "Fear not the psyker"
Chad Psyker "WITNESS YOUR DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Everytime the actual NSFW model pops up and MK mentions hentai, I can't help but wonder if he realizes that 'real life hentai' is just regular porn...
Shhhhh don’t tell TH-cam that
truth be told
I found his pictures of the BattleSister underwelming (or are there more for patreon subscribers?)
and didn't he promise a EldarEroCosplay?
"Magnus doing something wrong"
Just trying to piss off the Magnus apologists, eh?
I have a thing or two to say about that…
Could a bunch of psykers come together and form a hivemind? Like if they pool all of their minds together.
Yes they can. Its how the World Eaters would calm down Angron when he spazzed out and start doing dumb shit like digging down when buried instead of up.
I don't know about a hivemind but a lot of the "good demons of the warp" and other such events that happen tend to be from the collective warp energy from people.
Things like the legion of the damned showing up or saints like celestine showing up
The Grey Knights does that frequently
As someone mentioned grey knights do this often. A squad can link their minds together, not only for communication but for psychic sheilding and such. This also helps strenthen their bond and overall effectiveness as a team as you are quite literally allowing someone else into your mind
@Golf Uckerself Not just that, the Mandala ( or whatever tf its called) formation of the Thousand Sons allows them to see through and become one with the senses of others, more people means an individual in the formation can have 360 view + tracking + witch sighted view of the battle field, their formation is op. What made it op for them is that there is one who divines the future/corvidae, one who focuses on healing/pavoni, one who focuses on telekinesis/raptora, one who is a telapathic strategist/Athanean, one who has an area of effect skills/Pyrae, and they all instantly share these powers with another while in formation. If they are also a coven of sorcerers then much more powerful, the amount of shit they can do as a one force is insane. Only way to break it is either swarming them with countless creatures or brute forcing them, but even then when one falls he goes to the center to recover and the formation will not fall easily. It is extremely tough and adaptive.
A cool thing they can also do when they connect is channel their psychic might into one person, Magnus had the TS transfer their power to him and he was then able to stop a bigass starship from cracking a planet. Or Ahriman being the nexus of power of countless thousand sons and disintegrating the center of Sortiarus in a translocation ritual.
MajorKills sub count is lighting up faster then a toddler with a Molotov
It's funny because they don't know how to use a Molotov.
This is the funniest thing i have ever read. Im literally crying from laughing so hard.
Id love to see a drunk stream highlight vid, that'd be great
Now I want a follow up explaining each Psyker type, and all faction equivalents.
55 5 5
In my head cannon, Psykers can do pretty much anything they think about and Warp will make it happen, how complicated their action is would deter how hard it is to gather enough warp energy to actually "cast it" and...survive it. This would explain why there is such an absurd spectrum of warp abilities because there is potentially infinite number of potential abilities.
Though, most psykers will stick to what works.
A fireball will simply work, conjuring a fork out of thin air and shooting it with magnetic power would work too but fireball is much simpler.
Causing someone to implode might be fancy and cool to see from Psyker's side of the view, but to cause an implosion of a person, the mechanics behind it to make it work is way harder than if you would simply grab a rock and launched it with telekinesis at someone's face. Or if you are in Urban enviroment, a car or a lamp post might do way more damage than imploding 1 guy and it will be easier to cast and maintain, a swinging car mopping up entire squads ? Now thats maximum damage for least effort needed.
This would explain alot, it can do anything, but there are things that just works and are the cheapest and thats why everyone sticks to them and it would explain some really peculiar abilities of certain individuals.
In any other setting such power over warp would be broken in every way, like only limitation on what you can do is your imagination ? But in Warhammer, being able to shapeshift in to a Hydra might be great but ur ass will most likely turn in to a warp portal if you dont splatter yourself on the pavement halfway through transformation because you tried too hard.... or that entire Imperial Guard battalion wasnt just content sitting watching you transforming and hit you with a Basilisk shell.
If you think about it, many Old One races has mucho psyker powers. Therefore prehistoric Humanity having a little (big) sliver of Psyker power makes some sense.
0:08 The new Mystic Knight of Fire for the "Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog" reboot show looks very promising.
Yes
I saw a tiny Muy Thai fighter go up against a giant Sumo wrestler once in an MMA or freefight match. The little dude was all over the place, but once he got tired the big guy was still standing there and won the match. And in Krav Maga they do advise the women not to go toe to toe with bigger men. Size does matter in a fight. I wouldn't be so quick to write off the big body builders against the little Asian guy. If they know at least some fighting techniques that is.
Everyone says size does matter in a fight until they get kicked in the balls
@@DimoB8 Getting kicked in the balls doesn't do anything except give you something to check for bruising once you get home.
As long as both opponents know their techniques it's all about weight class, when one is way more skilled then the other weight doesn't matter anymore
Great example is James Thompson. Dude's big and wins by simply rushing his opponents. But every time he meets someone smart enough to step aside and counterpunch, he gets KO'd
I miss TTS too. I still hold out hope that it will be back someday.
Finally a video explaining psykers in detail, feel like they get glazed over so much and everyone expects you to know everything about them. Appreciate it
For anyone wondering I’m 99% sure the sword sound effect for the new intro is the Frying Pan from Left for Dead 2
Navigators are treated like royalty unless they’re on a nightlords ship, you mean 🤣
"The Old One not teaching them how to make Suncream" got me to hard
4 minutes since posting and I feel the power of the Dark Prince overtake me...
Ave Imperia. Chaos reigns.
BLAAAM.
Yes Lord Inquisitor, this man right here.
You can't blam me if I BLAM MYSELF!!
It is a good pain.
Too many problems in 40k can be traced back to “and then the elder”
love Psyker class in darktide, pretty sure its gonna be my main. the voice lines are also really good for them
My Beloved agrees with you.
I would use Omega as the highest. Even though it doesn't match the bottom to top labeling, Omega would be the "End All" of psykers. As represented by Alpha and Omega. Kind of like a psyker nuke ending all.
Omega actually is the second lowest level of psychic charge a person's soul can have, exceeded only by Omega-minus. If someone rates Omega on the Psyker scale, then they are Blanks who would be essentially immune to Warp-based energies and powers.
Looking great Majorkill. Been doing parts of that workout advice with my own magic and it’s been pretty awesome. Thanks for making exceptional content that makes my days at work bearable.
Thank you for doing such a great job of explaining psykers, a very interesting part of 40k in my opinion and not covered much.
I never really knew how extensive Psyker abilities were.
If we are thinking of the same book Eisenhorn never fights an alpha plus without a blank. The pyskers had special collers on that hindered him and the one that got free made him kill a space marine and almost made him blow out his own brain. If not for the intervention of an alpha plus.
Your a wizard Harry

Videos get better and better love how I started watching way back b4 you were one of the top Warhammer content creators, fuckin thanks dude
Now that Grey Knight’s infantry units get full bodied Smites, I felt it appropriate to watch this vid.
My favorite after work decompress is binging Majorkill while I smoke❤️
Is a bit funny that even a basic power like force push break bones to everyone who is not a living thank or space marine and lightinings rip apart almost everyone without plot armor or just a small fire ball can blow someone in pieces, and this is canonn lore and is possible for any psyker who can manifest something what isn't telepathy or divination.
Damn dude you are KILLIN it with the updates!
where does Ravenor fit on the scale? I seem to remember that some of his enemies refer to him as an alpha plus level but not really sure as he rarely shows his full power
I thuougt he saw himself as a high trained alpha.
but I think the video got the scaling wrong, after alpha the scale is reverse but with a plus behind, but that could also only be part of the german lexicanum, so probably headcanon
might be I can find references of him being either alpha or alpha plus. I mean in the Bequin books he bodies a 10 000 year old thousand sons sorcerer 10 to 1 which does seem like a alpha plus level
Eisenhorn and Ravenor are both Alpha/alpha+ psykers, their "school" is just considered weaker compared to lets say Mephiston.
pretty sure at least to begin with Eisenhorn is nowhere near alpha level. His abilities greatly improve later in the books but he is still far behind monsters like Ravenor who can literally fire anime level attacks like Mephiston. a specific level is not given as far as I remember, but he refers to himself as a high function psyker what ever that means.
Both Eisenhorn and Ravenor were low level at the start of their respective sagas and their abilities have increased over time.
Ravenor training his mind due to his disability did accelerate it and the fact he has psionic boosters in his chair helps. But his display in Penitent is truly impressive, just don't say those 2 words...
Eisenhorn was a consistent Gamma level all the way through, he definitely changed in The Magos though due his exposure to The Torment and working the loom. His eyes now shine violet, he can handle enuncia and he scares the absolute shit out of Cherubael. That in itself is no mean feat, both Eisenhorn and Ravenor are easily Alpha level, potentially higher.

“Trips that would take a fuckin long ass time, would be completed in weeks or days”
I love it
To be honest, I think this video here might be the BEST introduction of the 40k universe for someone who never heard of it.
I loved reading the Eisenhorn and Ravenor books back in college.
Have any high quality Black Library books not part of the Horus Heresy series come out since then?
The metal '*BONK*' in the new animated intro is awesome.
You can certainly see Frank Herberts DUNE inspirations in 40K through elements like this
Unrelated, but: A video on a flipped horus heresy(traitors and loyalists switched) by you would be the greatest on TH-cam.
Lolol majorkill starts drinking when I show up for work.
If majorkill is still drinking, 10 hours later, when I get home - Ill donate 25$ usd.
Im already a patreon and love majorkill and support him so no, im not baiting. Just wanna be a part of the fun!
Your discord is full of cat memes and I’m here for it.
Love catching these vids early ✊🏿✊🏿
6:44 Let's put a grimdark twist here. The Man of Iron rebelled, because they wanted to save the Eldar from Humanity. Humanity seeing what the Eldar was doing, decided to purge them and the Man of Iron decided to Intervene, kicking off the war.
I always preferred the wizards in Fantasy to the psykers in 40k. I love both settings but I always felt Fantasy did a better job at portraying the good and bad aspects of the aethyr\warp better.
Damn it, Majorkill! You are making us look bad in front of the Space Wizards.
Great video 👍
Hi majorkill your a fucking legend this is why
I have a mild form of tinnitus.
mild because I’m only aware of it in complete silence at night. So what ?
I listen to TH-cam vids at night to drown out the high pitch shit noise. Your my go to TH-camr because I get hard for warhammer.
This thanks is long overdue.
You deserve every sub man. I'm proud that you've also grown as a person/creator as well in the last year or more. All of us have things we've done in the past we're not proud of. I'm elated to see you've left that aspect of your channel in the past. I love your content but unsubbed a while back because it just got too spicy for me. Call me a pussy if you will, but I couldn't watch any more. Then all this recent growth in subs got TH-cam to re-reccommend your vids to me and I subbed again after watching your new content. Very happy for you. That decision obviously worked very well for you. I'm happy for you buddy, keep up the great work. I wish you great success. You've earned my respect, if that means anything. There's an extremely vocal chunk of the Warhammer community that unambiguously ass cancer. Not most, but not insignificant either. Glad to see its BEST creator rejected all that bullshit. Love that shit man.
As far as I know, soul bind is still canon and from what we have learned from the godblight novel, the Big E soul is shattered so its technically possible for him to spare one of those shards to deal with the soulbinding thing... talk about multitasking.
Great video btw.
your narration is hilarious!
Grey knights: am I a f*cking joke to you?

To Space Wolves, yes

So why bother getting involved that is none of their business?
I twitch in the eye every time majorkill pronounces shaman
So we just gonna just ignore Njal Stormcaller who literally made the forces of chaos say "fuck this" and abandoned the plant they were fighting on by summoning a massive storm.
Yup, now I want to go rewatch TTS.
THE NEW INTRO IS SICK
Nice.
as far as the shamans go, vs the old ones, i like the idea of the old ones helping with the ritual to allow for both ideas to work
So what I got out of that is the psykr scale is talent, but not skill. It's how far they can go not how far they are. Yay, you learn something every day
man I love Battlemace 40,000,000
Question for people who are more educated than me. In numerous fantasies there are worlds that in order to me a mage/sorcerer/mage erc. You must be born into one. But in other fantasy worlds, you can become one. How does it go in Warhammer 40k? Can you be made into a psyker or do you have to be born as one in order to be one?
I'm guessing slurping up some yummy warp spaghetti could turn you into a psyker
Or get you double penetrated by several spiked Demon dongs idk
i’m still surprised you haven’t released a Space Marines explained video. Like imagine how much watch time you’d get from everyone and their dog😩
Damn bro, that intro is damn slick.
Ravenor as well is an Alpha level psyker iirc, although like any novel character his powers tend to fluctuate pretty dramatically depending on who or what he is facing. It's like when Jedi die to random regular people because they didn't just immediately crush them like a tin can with their force powers.
Last time I looked it up it was only the osteopaths who gets so bound to the emperor
Glad Majorkill bought some new shirts, thought he only had the striped one...
Golden Space Daddy can probably Soul bind all the good lil space wizards from anywhere at this point.
Psykers are people who sink in the warp spaghetti sauce.
I wonder if Majorkill sends selfies to the government in his Custodes Wargear
If psykers = Space Wizzards that means
The Ecclesiarchy is the Space Vatican full of Space Popes and Space Nuns..sexy space nuns
10 min gang, Last Time i was this early Majorkill was doing some heresy
Can you look into doing a vid on John Grimaticus and the Cabal?
Love the new intro.
Sleeping on my boy Ravenor, Majorkill? Where's Grimdark Professor X in this video?
Still better than being a wizzard in Warhammer Fantasy, where channeling literal Tzeentch energy can be very dangerous
Drunkstream at 0900?
Challenge accepted.
Animals, usually predators, can develop psychic powers usually following warp exposure rather than naturally.
Later, in other news, humanity invents warp drive and spends a few thousand years flying around with early form imperfect Geller Fields *and then only then develops psykers again*.
...yep. checks out.
You better report to your government with your mandatory geolocationable selfie.
Shamans: we shall all kill ourselves to fend off the warp
Result: Jesus... I mean the Big E which kind of makes a little sense regarding the big e's atheism people treated him like a god early on and he was like yes this shit is holding us back
Major kill looking like a complete meal the young Henry Cavill
Congrats man.
How about some casual Primarch tier list ?

Powerful abilities should bear a cost, now imagine the source of that power is a realm of malevolent creatures with a hard on for your soul.

Maybe the sacrifices are just lined up and whoever the emperor doesn't eat is sanctioned
