The thing that makes the Lamenters so noteworthy isn't how bad their luck it. The cursed founding is full of bad luck chapters. It's that, no matter how bad their losses, how ruinous their penance, how often they are kicked and abused by fate..... They remain completely devoted to the cause.

At first they were fightingto resotre their former glory, but now they do all of this becue it is the right thing to do.

@heitorguerra4584 I will disagree with you on this, because though the lamenters are not the most effective space marine chapter, they are the most loyal chapter because any space marine chapter would have fallen or would not still fight for civilians as much as the lamenters do.
Fun fact, when a ship is lost in the warp, the inhabitants scale of time can be anywhere from 5 seconds to 50 million years. So, theoretically, the Lamenters couldve been lost there for thousands of years... or 30 minutes
they were probably in there since the dawn of time, going through several generations of marines with only their serfs as recruit material...and no toilet roll.
I don't think people like Lamenters for " Murder and Tragedy Porn. " . I think it's for the " These underdogs are somehow not shooting the Imperium in the back after being stepped on, left out to dry by their allies and then finally given a bit of help from SOMEONE." - I think it's just that people like to cheer for the person that's getting beaten up, sometimes.
I think they're either my first or second favorite faction (at least first or second fav Imperium faction) for EXACTLY this reason; its really inspiring to read about or see someone who, despite fate itself seeming to take a sadistic pleasure in ruining their lives, they stand back up and move forward without undue complaint and without turning traitor. And not because of some zealous fervor for their Emperor or because they like violence: they do it to fulfill at least part of Big E's goals for his Space Marines: "They are my Bulwark against the Terror. They are the Defenders of Humanity." For those we Cherish, we die in glory! Mad respect to the Lamenters.
Someone with that much amount of immovable loyalty and staunchness in the face of harrowing defeats and pyrrhic victories and even after getting humiliated and attacked by their own allies and tricked by their only real friends in their Faction in general, they STILL keep going. As an Imperial Fist - that amount of willpower and stubbornness and refusing to give up and just defying the pull towards Chaos - well let's just say I fell in love with these boys. I think even Dorn would look at these boys and be "You're all champions of what it means to be Astartes, despite everything".

21:17 I am imagining the lamenters watching the ork world explode, as they're all battered and wounded and exhausted, and they look behind them at the miniscule amount of people they managed to save. And then a little malnourished human child approaches one of the lamenters, and just hugs them.
The Lamenters are the third most important function in the Imperium of Man, second only to the Emperor himself and his Throne. You see, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. All that plot armor the Imperials have has to come from somewhere. The Lamenters' plot anti-armor is the counter balance that lets other characters survive.
The Lamenters ARE THE BEST CHAPTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are the absolute GOOD GUYS in the grimdarkness of the far future where there is only war ;~;
@@TealWolf26 Salamanders murdered a bunch of imperial citizens because they found out they were hanging out with xenos one time, eldar I think. Salamanders are better than most but they are also genocidal maniacs with a fire fetish.
The Lamenter's are my favorite chapter of space marines.....because in the grim dark world of warhammer they are a group that tries to do what is best for humanity and humans, time and time again, and no matter how beaten down they become, or punished for doing the right thing, they keep coming back and they keep fighting. They lament but never give in.
Something to remember, when Guilliman reinforced the chapters with Primaris, he reinforced the Lamenters FIRST. The 100 or so survivors were given enough Primaris battle brothers to bring them up to FULL STRENGTH. They haven't been at full strength since their founding!
The Lamenters are interesting because they're basically how i think many wish the Ultra Marines are, Where SURE they always 'Win' they always get that victory on the dot... But instead its always at a cost, They ONLY Get the Victory, No Glory, No Honor Just a simple, On Record Victory at any cost.
That’s why I’m an Iron Hand at heart. Clear objectives. Meet the enemy, crush them, move on to the next target. No glory, no honor fapping, no showboating. Just big guns, heavy armor and unyielding combat doctrine.
I disagree. I think it’s because no matter what happens, no matter what they face, they remain the most devoted entities to the imperium’s people. Ten percent civilian casualties is too many for them, and the entire company dying to save them is a justified cost.
The story with the Ultramarine on that ork planet seems obviously about how hard it can to determine the value of doing being tactical vs. doing the right thing.

Concerning the "ork and his gun" story, the TLDR version is: warp travel is wierd, and orks don't really navigate in the warp. An ork spacehulk makes a warp-jump, and due to warp shenanigans, arrives right where they jumped from, a few days before they jumped. The warboss decides to take advantage of this to get a spare of his favorite shoota, and the resulting confusion stops a waaagh before it could get going.
Would just like to point out the Minotaurs who slapped down the Lamenters recently rebelled against Guilliman so it looks like the yellow boys are going to get the last laugh.
Imagine this; Sanguinius is revived. All of the Blood Angel chapters gather to him. He walks up to Dante and embraces him. "You are not my son. You, are my brother." He gives Dante the Blood Angels as his personal chapter. Sanguinius turns to the Legions. "You are all my sons." He steps down from his stage. Walks past all of his Successor Chapters. And stands before the Lamenters. "But you, you are my Legion" Sanguinius then goes on to lead the Lamenters as his personal Legion until the end of time.

The Badab War was notable because it was a sector-wide civil war/insurgency primarily fought between two varieties of loyalist space marines. The Astral Claws and their fellow chapters like the Lamenters were tasked with guarding the sector from its own warp-tainted region, the Maelstrom. Lugft Huron basically was a great leader who coulda properly purged the Maelstrom, but the high lords of terra repeatedly shot down his proposals without full consideration or let the crusade get underway but then crippled it by diverting whole chapters elsewhere because of some other crisis. Huron eventually goes "fuck it better to beg forgiveness then ask permission", and starts doing all these questionably legal things to build up a crusade force locally. Worst of all is that he low-key stopped paying taxes (claiming checks totally got put in the mail). This escalated until he was declaring the sector independently governed by himself, clashing first with local power groups and then with forces dispatched by Terra once things got out of hand. Astral Claws were doing bigger crimes behind the scenes (all innthe name of building up a crusade force for the good of the imperium), but all the evidence indicates they didn't fall to chaos during the Badab War. They fell *after losing*, and Huron is NOT out of the picture after that.
@@kuehnjakob it doesn't help that you could write a whole novel series on the badab war.... but they haven't. so we only really have the broad strokes.
My years in The Guard has taught me many things, first among them is that if you're fighting alongside Blood Angles or one of their successor chapters, and you hear someone yell "I Am Sanguineous!!!"...just start running.
For me the reason why the Lamenters are so special is because no matter how much shit comes their way,how low the get, where other chapters would have gone roque or heretical they keep on going. Shitty colour's, amazing lads... If only we could get a better colour skims

I love how while Bricky is telling the Story of the Lamenters, and the other guy´s like "wow that must have been terrible for them", Bricky´s just like "BUT WAIT! THERE´S MORE!" over and over again...
I think a fair explanation as to why the Lamenters are indeed popular (at least for their lore) is that they're like the 40k of 40k. For most people (DK included), 40k is brutal, unforgiving and just all-around horrible. But it's interesting for it and it's even more impressive to hear about people who do their best to be noble and righteous in such a vicious environment and still push forward. The lamenters are the most intense version of that. They're extremely loyal, despite constant suspicion and rejection, they will sacrifice themselves to protect humanity time and time again, yet despite their best efforts, great heroism and capable military planning, the universe just keeps fucking with them like with noone else. The parts where I would add to make this episode do them a bit more justice is simply emphasising just how noble and true to their cause they actually are. It's that nobility among all that tragedy that makes them stand out from the rest of the Space Marines and I think that's what made them popular enough to win in the patreon vote. But ofc, if anyone wants more details on the Lamenters, I'd say Arch did a very good video on them.
I love reading about Black Templar numbers. I forget the short story I read but an Inquisitor said that he would not be surprised if the Black Templars number over 20k, but they are all off fighting xenos which frees up a huge chunk of the rest of the Imperium for other things. So they just count them as being compliant and move on to things closer to home.
Knowing Lamenters "luck" Iron halo going to make them even squishier! XD Space Hulk Unhallowed Heart seriously no mention of that? Lamenters saved all of warders there.
Speaking of the Badab War, one of the Chapters which participated in it was the Carcharodons Astra, or Space Sharks. They might be a good topic for the future, especially their absolute unit of a Chapter Master, Tyberos the Red Wake
I find really interesting all the debates around their origin, given that they are weird, strange, violent and unsettling as FUCK! Weird gray skin (Raven Guard?) and black eyes (Night Lords) Stealthy and cunning infiltrations (Raven Guard) RIP AND TEAR AND COMPLETE DISREGARD OF COLLATERAL DAMAGE (World Eaters) Those guys are awesome!
Since you guys are doing Deathguard next episode, maybe look into the story of the group of Deathguard marines who had their connection to Chaos severed. Once they had their connection to Chaos cut, they realized what disgusting bloated monsters they had become, and they all died slowly and painfully, regretting everything. It's a really sad story and it shows how much they were manipulated and blinded by their loyalty to Mortarion.
I'm just starting to get deeper into 40k,and kind of both glad and sad to have learned about Lamentors. This universe deserves kind and caring guardians of innocence. But they need a god damn break. Give them a break, they deserve it!!!! Why do they suffer so!? T_T
Because that's their shtick. All this hell they've gone through yet they hold on to their ideals and never gave into chaos when others have with less suffering. They are endurance incarnate and something to aspire to.
Well, you may have noticed: half the time it's because they chose to be heroes and care about the regular people in the imperium. Most chapters wouldn't have thought twice about the slaves on Slaughterhouse five.
I think the major thing you get wrong about Lamenters is probably the reason why people like them. They're cool because even though they get knocked down they keep getting back up, and they never lose their loyalty. "For those we cherish, we die in glory!"
Bring up the Unhallowed Heart, that was a sick battle. The Lamenters' biggest appeal is that through all that, they STILL held noble and true. Not once have they faltered; they exemplify the gritty resilience of unyielding virtue. In a way, they're a statement about how purity fares in 40k - a microcosm of grimdark itself
They are what the space marines were meant to be they are peak space marine except for the whole lick thing but we shall ignore that to be able to stick through the worst of the worst and cone out barely clinging to life just to dive head first back into it to save even a few citizens
@@AlexWithington This is also why if Sanguinius was ever brought back, he would consider the Lamenters the ones to carry on his true will. All of his other sons have focused on battle for the sake of battle. Only the Lamenters hold true as to WHY one should go into the battle. Yes, the Blood Angels have his color scheme and are his original legion. They have deviated however, the rage and helplessness at witnessing his death over and over again in their minds has turned them into battle maniacs that lash out. I like the chapter and it shows the sheer ferocity with which Sanguinius was able to bring to bare upon his foes. Yet, they have lost the most important part; Why one should leap into battle in the first place.
As one of the dozen Lamenters fans, we did have rules for a named model last edition, but he got moved to legends since he never actually had a model. Malakim Phoros, the chapter master. He was supposedly killed by the Minotaurs, but there are rumors of his survival. His major thing was that he was able to keep the Black Rage at bay, and put himself just to the edge of falling to it and pull himself back after a fight through sheer willpower alone. Edit: Posted this right before Bricky described him lol.
I know this comment is over a year old but found out an interesting thing that may confirm malakim phoros stull being alive, as during the trial of Gabriel seth there is a chapter master referred to as “malakim of the lamenters”
"Emperor's Teeth!" or "By the Emperor!" are both used quite often in the 40K universe, and could easily be used to replace things like "Oh my God!" or "Jeeezus!"
As a die-hard Lamenters fan (their stories got me to learn more about Warhammer) i can safely say you covered all the important points. Good job. Thought you forgot to mention the best part about the penance crusade: you can't deny a fight. If there is trouble on a system you HAVE to go, so yeah pretty much suicidal crusades
@@chrislatam5423 They're Lamenters. They have the worst luck, get the worst jobs, and always end up on the short end of the stick but they'll NEVER stop trying to do good.
@@krullachief669 Which honestly, makes them closer to Sanguinius than the others. Yes, he was a consumate duelist and liked a good up close fight. However, he also was a primarch that cared about protecting people. All his other sons are so focused on the combat, it is like they forgot WHY he wielded his sword.
This is by far my favourite episode. You two made me love the Lamenters. Not because they such sad bois but because of how badass they are when facing insurmountable odds and as far as i can tell having the highest kill death ratio in 40k. My personal goal is to successfully paint a checkered plate on their taxi asses. Love your work keep it coming.
The warp jump took the Ork vessel back in time and upon realising it the Ork Warboss went to kill his other self to get another copy of his favorite gun.
Don’t forget how they tried to answer Dante’s call for help and promptly got attacked by demons on there way to Baal and after making it there the fight was over and this was just before Dante bolstered them (I think)
I actually really like the lamentors story, they got dealt a shit hand, and all their brothers scorn them, their main allies turned to chaos, and they still stay loyal and do what's right , no matter how hard or dangerous, even when other chapters don't. Id say they're a shining example of what I'd like too see in a chapter
*stands still and stoic. Tears rolling down there face.* yes I am in fact crying and there is nothing wrong with that. You see these brave men deserve our tears. For all the pain they have suffered, they still remain, as true heroes of mankind. And they deserve to be remembered and mourned properly.

@@TheHandofDestiny We'd have a beautiful, pretty awesome universe where humanity didn't worship a skeleton plugging a hole in space-time by sitting on a golden port-a-potty.
Mantis also got a penitence crusade and the chapter master was executed. Astral Claws went on and became a little known warband called The Red Corsairs.
To clarify; after the Badab War, all of the Astartes Chapters allied with Luggy were ordered into lengthy Penitent Crusades. The Mantis Warriors managed to pull through their Crusade and after saving the lives of 270,000 imperial citizens from a tyranid hive fleet, were deemed fit to recieve the Emperor's blessing once more by a host of Inquisitorial agents. The Executioners, another Astartes group allied to the Astral Claws, presumably all died fighting Necrons after fucking up a bunch of secessionist factions at the edges of the galaxy. Finally, the Astral Claws would hereby be known as the Red Corsairs. And Lufgt Huron would change his name to Huron Blackheart. Basically just badass Chaos Space Pirates. These guys deserve their own episode all to themselves.
And yet they remain loyal. it would be so easy to quit, to give up and run, to give in to chaos and be taken care of... But that's just not the Lamenter way. A tip of a commissars hat for unflinching, unwavering, dauntless loyalty in the face of it all.

Thank you guys for posting your content on youtube. It has made my long work commutes far more tolerable, and has furthered both my knowledge and enjoyment of the 40k lore!
The cool thing about the minotaurs is their purpose. Their main objective is to stomp out renegade and chaos space marines, and the rest of the time they sorta sit pretty. Basically the Minotaurs are what the emperor wanted the space wolves to be: space marine executioners
They're unlucky, sure, but their genetic predisposition for melancholy is what I would say serves to severely alienate them from the other space marines, who are generally very unemotional and logical in their decisions. Also the colour scheme is badass but fuck I would never paint it.
Minotaurs are a weird chapter of SMs. They are based on Spartans, like the couple of models available from Forge World look like straight up ancient Greek armor. They're also basically the ass boys of the High Lords of Terra, so they get all the best shit and best resources, but they're basically in charge of taking out other space marine chapters. Like I think historically they've fought more space marines than heretics or xenos. They've even fought the Custodes before. My personal theory is they exist so if the High Lords ever get really heretical they'll still have a chapter of SMs to bodyguard them.
They are a representation of Greek check and balance system. They are executioners of space marines, BUT they also watch the High Lords. If the High Lords of Terra ever go heretical, the Minotaurs will execute THEM.
On the lamenters color scheme; its actually suppose to be based on Sanguinius's armor who wore a golden suit of armor and a snow leopard pelt. The yellow is suppose to be shiny and kinda gold color, and the checkers are meant to be a shout out to the pelt. I always paint them using a leadbelcher base coat and then painting over it with contrast paint yellow; looks more golden and shiny and nice than taxi colors
Now that DK has been introduced to the chapter of eternal suffering, ever gonna show him the TTS side video? Only a single spoiler to the show, but *perfectly* encapsulates what happened to the Lamenters throughout their lifespan.

The Lamenters are the third most important function in the Imperium of Man, second only to the Emperor himself and his Throne. You see, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. All that plot armor the Imperials have has to come from somewhere. The Lamenters' plot anti-armor is the counter balance that lets other characters survive.
The Lamenters ARE THE BEST CHAPTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They are the absolute GOOD GUYS in the grimdarkness of the far future where there is only war ;~;

Oh hi
The Lamenters are like the 40k equivalent of the Pokemon move 'Endure'. They survive, but at 1 HP.
The Lamenter's are my favorite chapter of space marines.....because in the grim dark world of warhammer they are a group that tries to do what is best for humanity and humans, time and time again, and no matter how beaten down they become, or punished for doing the right thing, they keep coming back and they keep fighting. They lament but never give in.
I've liked the other members of their founding better
Something to remember, when Guilliman reinforced the chapters with Primaris, he reinforced the Lamenters FIRST. The 100 or so survivors were given enough Primaris battle brothers to bring them up to FULL STRENGTH. They haven't been at full strength since their founding!
The Lamenters are interesting because they're basically how i think many wish the Ultra Marines are,
Where SURE they always 'Win' they always get that victory on the dot...
But instead its always at a cost, They ONLY Get the Victory, No Glory, No Honor Just a simple, On Record Victory at any cost.
That’s why I’m an Iron Hand at heart. Clear objectives. Meet the enemy, crush them, move on to the next target. No glory, no honor fapping, no showboating. Just big guns, heavy armor and unyielding combat doctrine.
I disagree. I think it’s because no matter what happens, no matter what they face, they remain the most devoted entities to the imperium’s people. Ten percent civilian casualties is too many for them, and the entire company dying to save them is a justified cost.
The story with the Ultramarine on that ork planet seems obviously about how hard it can to determine the value of doing being tactical vs. doing the right thing.

How is the crusade going?
Concerning the "ork and his gun" story, the TLDR version is: warp travel is wierd, and orks don't really navigate in the warp.
An ork spacehulk makes a warp-jump, and due to warp shenanigans, arrives right where they jumped from, a few days before they jumped. The warboss decides to take advantage of this to get a spare of his favorite shoota, and the resulting confusion stops a waaagh before it could get going.

In a way, the Lamenters are the least likely chapter to be wiped out completely because that would mean they get to stop suffering.

The Lamenters can't get wiped out lore-wise because then GW would need to come up with an even more annoying paint scheme.

The Badab War was notable because it was a sector-wide civil war/insurgency primarily fought between two varieties of loyalist space marines. The Astral Claws and their fellow chapters like the Lamenters were tasked with guarding the sector from its own warp-tainted region, the Maelstrom. Lugft Huron basically was a great leader who coulda properly purged the Maelstrom, but the high lords of terra repeatedly shot down his proposals without full consideration or let the crusade get underway but then crippled it by diverting whole chapters elsewhere because of some other crisis.
Huron eventually goes "fuck it better to beg forgiveness then ask permission", and starts doing all these questionably legal things to build up a crusade force locally. Worst of all is that he low-key stopped paying taxes (claiming checks totally got put in the mail).
This escalated until he was declaring the sector independently governed by himself, clashing first with local power groups and then with forces dispatched by Terra once things got out of hand.
Astral Claws were doing bigger crimes behind the scenes (all innthe name of building up a crusade force for the good of the imperium), but all the evidence indicates they didn't fall to chaos during the Badab War. They fell *after losing*, and Huron is NOT out of the picture after that.
Thank you. I get that they had to shorten the Badab War (and what came before), but damn, a bit lengthier wouldn’t have hurt.

Then the marine channels his inner primarch even more

Marine Malevolent: "Bold words, coming from someone in Cyclone Torpedo range."
I think a fair explanation as to why the Lamenters are indeed popular (at least for their lore) is that they're like the 40k of 40k. For most people (DK included), 40k is brutal, unforgiving and just all-around horrible. But it's interesting for it and it's even more impressive to hear about people who do their best to be noble and righteous in such a vicious environment and still push forward. The lamenters are the most intense version of that. They're extremely loyal, despite constant suspicion and rejection, they will sacrifice themselves to protect humanity time and time again, yet despite their best efforts, great heroism and capable military planning, the universe just keeps fucking with them like with noone else.
The parts where I would add to make this episode do them a bit more justice is simply emphasising just how noble and true to their cause they actually are. It's that nobility among all that tragedy that makes them stand out from the rest of the Space Marines and I think that's what made them popular enough to win in the patreon vote. But ofc, if anyone wants more details on the Lamenters, I'd say Arch did a very good video on them.
I'd say Arch can get fucked off a cliff and land in the middle of a high speed car crash but I agree with the rest. They're basically the Guts of 40k

I love reading about Black Templar numbers. I forget the short story I read but an Inquisitor said that he would not be surprised if the Black Templars number over 20k, but they are all off fighting xenos which frees up a huge chunk of the rest of the Imperium for other things. So they just count them as being compliant and move on to things closer to home.

Since you guys are doing Deathguard next episode, maybe look into the story of the group of Deathguard marines who had their connection to Chaos severed. Once they had their connection to Chaos cut, they realized what disgusting bloated monsters they had become, and they all died slowly and painfully, regretting everything. It's a really sad story and it shows how much they were manipulated and blinded by their loyalty to Mortarion.
Story name?
And dude forgot to mention how calgar jumped the ultramarine's shit when they got butthurt over declining the iron halo
Ye, people give Clargar some shit for being Papa Smurf, but he's actually pretty damn cool. Shame about a lot of his chapter though.
I'm just starting to get deeper into 40k,and kind of both glad and sad to have learned about Lamentors.
This universe deserves kind and caring guardians of innocence. But they need a god damn break. Give them a break, they deserve it!!!!
Why do they suffer so!? T_T
Because that's their shtick. All this hell they've gone through yet they hold on to their ideals and never gave into chaos when others have with less suffering. They are endurance incarnate and something to aspire to.
No one gets what they truly deserve...good or bad.
Well, you may have noticed: half the time it's because they chose to be heroes and care about the regular people in the imperium. Most chapters wouldn't have thought twice about the slaves on Slaughterhouse five.
If you really want to weep for the lamenters, watch bruva alfabusa’s tribute to them.
I believe they’ve been bolstered now in the Indomitus crusade unless I’m quite mistaken.
I think the major thing you get wrong about Lamenters is probably the reason why people like them. They're cool because even though they get knocked down they keep getting back up, and they never lose their loyalty. "For those we cherish, we die in glory!"
Bring up the Unhallowed Heart, that was a sick battle. The Lamenters' biggest appeal is that through all that, they STILL held noble and true. Not once have they faltered; they exemplify the gritty resilience of unyielding virtue. In a way, they're a statement about how purity fares in 40k - a microcosm of grimdark itself
They are what the space marines were meant to be they are peak space marine except for the whole lick thing but we shall ignore that to be able to stick through the worst of the worst and cone out barely clinging to life just to dive head first back into it to save even a few citizens
@@AlexWithington This is also why if Sanguinius was ever brought back, he would consider the Lamenters the ones to carry on his true will. All of his other sons have focused on battle for the sake of battle. Only the Lamenters hold true as to WHY one should go into the battle.
Yes, the Blood Angels have his color scheme and are his original legion. They have deviated however, the rage and helplessness at witnessing his death over and over again in their minds has turned them into battle maniacs that lash out. I like the chapter and it shows the sheer ferocity with which Sanguinius was able to bring to bare upon his foes. Yet, they have lost the most important part; Why one should leap into battle in the first place.
Bricky laughs about the Lamenters so that he doesn't cry for the Lamenters.
As one of the dozen Lamenters fans, we did have rules for a named model last edition, but he got moved to legends since he never actually had a model. Malakim Phoros, the chapter master. He was supposedly killed by the Minotaurs, but there are rumors of his survival. His major thing was that he was able to keep the Black Rage at bay, and put himself just to the edge of falling to it and pull himself back after a fight through sheer willpower alone.
Edit: Posted this right before Bricky described him lol.
I know this comment is over a year old but found out an interesting thing that may confirm malakim phoros stull being alive, as during the trial of Gabriel seth there is a chapter master referred to as “malakim of the lamenters”

To clarify; after the Badab War, all of the Astartes Chapters allied with Luggy were ordered into lengthy Penitent Crusades.
The Mantis Warriors managed to pull through their Crusade and after saving the lives of 270,000 imperial citizens from a tyranid hive fleet, were deemed fit to recieve the Emperor's blessing once more by a host of Inquisitorial agents.
The Executioners, another Astartes group allied to the Astral Claws, presumably all died fighting Necrons after fucking up a bunch of secessionist factions at the edges of the galaxy.
Finally, the Astral Claws would hereby be known as the Red Corsairs. And Lufgt Huron would change his name to Huron Blackheart. Basically just badass Chaos Space Pirates. These guys deserve their own episode all to themselves.

They're also basically the ass boys of the High Lords of Terra, so they get all the best shit and best resources, but they're basically in charge of taking out other space marine chapters. Like I think historically they've fought more space marines than heretics or xenos. They've even fought the Custodes before. My personal theory is they exist so if the High Lords ever get really heretical they'll still have a chapter of SMs to bodyguard them.
They are a representation of Greek check and balance system. They are executioners of space marines, BUT they also watch the High Lords. If the High Lords of Terra ever go heretical, the Minotaurs will execute THEM.
I don't like the Minotaurs, from an aesthetic and model standpoint, they look cool, lore wise, they are cunts.
Not gonna lie...
That makes me want to see their extinction.
On the lamenters color scheme; its actually suppose to be based on Sanguinius's armor who wore a golden suit of armor and a snow leopard pelt. The yellow is suppose to be shiny and kinda gold color, and the checkers are meant to be a shout out to the pelt.
I always paint them using a leadbelcher base coat and then painting over it with contrast paint yellow; looks more golden and shiny and nice than taxi colors
Can you guys do a video on the Dark Mechanicum? I think they're really cool but they don't seem to be as mainstream.
In the warp, I heard something say something along the lines of "make pee nis into robot", was that them?
Now that DK has been introduced to the chapter of eternal suffering, ever gonna show him the TTS side video? Only a single spoiler to the show, but *perfectly* encapsulates what happened to the Lamenters throughout their lifespan.
An alternative tittle for this could be "The Depression Marines".
>me laughing at people struggling to paint a checkboard
It's called artist tape, kids, use it.
I honestly really want a whole episode on the Minotaurs and/or the Carchadons (Space Sharks). Those two chapters are so damn cool and they have such cool lore
Eh, borderline heretics.
I suppose we'll see an episode about them when (not if) they finally fall.
