There are literally servitors whose only purpose is to recognise people, which are allowed to enter some room or ship's section. They're nothing but a torso with a life support system and optical sensors. Imagine regaining your consciousness just to find yourself being a door knob
@@ls_rus4666 thats why I have a problem with this concept. The servitors refuse to open the door for you so you punch them ans the door opens... it's the 41st millennium and you can threaten a door handle to open up the sealed blast doors to get in. Very secure
There is this creepy excerpt from a story were the son of a noble had a servitor doll as a child to play with. The servitor is painted like a clown doll, and it was so heavily lobotomised that it only spoke in childish sentences. This is legitimately the creepiest passage of 40k lore I ever read.
One of my favorite theries about why the men of iron went rogue. The old human empire learned of the chaos gods and them becoming a threat. Someone consulted with the A.I.s of the time to formulate stratigies. The A.I.s figured out that the chaos gods exsist because of the emotions of living creatures. Being souless machines they don't feed the gods. So when someone asked the A.I.s to deal with chaos, being cold logic, they started murdering all of the living things in the universe to starve the chaos gods to death.
Wouldn't explain why Men of Iron went crazy across the whole galaxy almost simultaneously My theory is that since Mars is where the Void Dragon sits and where the Mechanicum got started, the Void Dragon slipped viruses and backdoors into the computers of Mars and those codes were copied into other robots across the galaxy. Eventually the Void Dragon triggered the machines hoping the chaos would allow it to slip out of its prison and unite with its other fragments and become a whole C'Tan again.

Servitors are pretty much THE grimdark thing in WH40k´s Imperium of Man. From petty criminals to hardcore gangers, Chaos cultists, to those who are just unproductive and thus poor, sometimes bred for it, sometimes having been a slave, the Empire shows little mercy. Yet that too is a key aspect of the setting, as humans are forced to struggle against a universe that has proven itself willing to snuff them out just as mercilessly if they don´t.
It get's grimmer and darker. Are you familiar with Cherubs? They're just like every other Servitor in the Imperium of Man, complete with their occasional moments of horrified lucidity... except they're made out of _toddlers and infants_ for some awful reason. The Mechanicus and the Ecclesiarchy _swear_ that they only use vat-grown children for this purpose... but they also make and use Juvenat, which is distilled essence of life-force extracted from the cells of poor kids, so it's pretty hard to trust them at their word as to how they source their bewinged baby meat. Even _Inquisitors_ feel sick when a Cherub briefly "wakes up" and starts _shrieking_ like a scared infant that has had wires, tubes, and batteries shoved into and through it without anesthetic, which is basically what happened to them. If an _Inquisitor_ thinks that something is awful, _that_ should inspire dread.
@@anthonylamonica8301 the mechanicus don't go that far bud, when they say they only vat grown, it's mean they only vat grown. Cherubs are just a better way to assist the troops and Carry equipment when hands are full. Drones are out of the question unless the Imperium wants to experience another War with A.I again. And the chances of chaos possessing a machine and Turning it into a daemon engine is another.

I am suprised that many servitors which maintain their sentience, didnt join Chaos. It's not like their fate would be much worse, and sell your soul you don't need to sign anything.
I remember the story of a space marine that fucked up so bad, his chapter master ordered him to be turned into a servitor. He was a sniper and his mission was to keep the crosshairs of his scope in line with an ork warboss’s head and don’t shoot til the space marine squad sneeking up on the warboss and his boyz make their assault. He decided to defy orders and try to shoot the warboss’s head off. He missed which alerted the warboss and his boyz whom quickly found the space marine squad and killed most of them. The sniper was basically turned into a forklift servitor.
That was the Crimson Fists Omnibus. The primitive shield heresy of the Ork fouled his noble attempt to end the war, tragically costing the lives of many battle brothers...

Yeah, I can't imagine too many fates worse than becoming a Servitor; I'm sure that the worst of the Chaos Cults, and the Dark Eldar they so long to compete with could, but I'm not asking. It reminds me of a story I was sort of writing once, in a challenge to take some of the worst edge off of Necromancy. In it, when people died, their bodies were given to the Crown, and animated to be put to use. Criminals were usually turned into laborers; compelled to build roads, structures, etc, and others were drafted into the army. It was morbid, but then one asked "if your grandfather could save his village, even after he died; fight off the bandits and brigands that would threaten his loved ones, and the place he helped build, would he literally claw his way out of his grave, or choose to languish there, rotting, and await you on the other side?" It wasn't necessarily all sunshine and rainbows, but the dead were a bit of a resource, and put to use. Servitors are a similar, terrible thing. As for your trip to Europe, I hope you have a blast, and please stay well! A coworker of a friend just got back from Ireland, and brought a rona-shaped keepsake with her. Hope your trip is wonderful!
i did this in a pathfinder kingdom building game, but set up contracts for the citizens to sign up for this. their surviving family would be paid the wages the reanimated would make doing menial labor in life. having a tireless work force made us a very wealthy nation very quickly
Fun fact: there's a Night Lord novel called Lord of the Night where the Raptor Lord Zso Sahaal encounters an escaped sentient Servitor in an underhive. He tries to torture information out of this thing, but the Servitor can no longer feel pain and just laughs at him before saying "I'll tell you what you want to know after you convince that I get to walk out of here alive." That Servitor was fucking sassy and I love him.
I mean what can they even do to a servitor? It probably has less then half of it's original body left and before it escaped it was probably forced into doing mundane tasks endlessly, plus it's probably well aware that it's no longer a itself completely anymore, so it's already been through extreme torture to be made into one, it's probably aware part of it's mind and who it once was is gone, and it was probably forced to do boring shit endlessly with no way to make it stop so it's been tortured mentally and extreme amount to.
@@ghoul4748 actually no, the info the Night Lord needed was so valuable that he let bastard roll away laughing. The scene is so memorable to me because of how they wrote the Servitor's laugh. "Het het het het het het het het het het."
I know I'm sick of all the unnecessary space marine variants and make it a point to complain about GW's space marine bias every chance I get, but I always thought it was a weird missed opportunity that the Iron Hands don't have a unique servator model. I mean the iron hands turn their failed aspirants into servatores, it's possible for an aspirant to fail after they undergo augmentation, augmentation makes them stronger=stronger servator.
Yeah true, I think the Iron Hands need way more unique models and characters period, and I personally would love a kit that’s just servitors of different types and augmetic limbs to be used to customize other models.
Majorkill, Australian here. A family historian relative looking at the criminal records of our ancestors noticed that the crimes didn't add up and *just happened to be enough for transportation.* The ancestor in question broke into a mansion (without damaging any locks) and stole _only a few_ pieces of silver dinnerware - leaving everything else there. The value of the dinnerware was just in the sweet spot to get them seven years and transportation, if they'd stolen the entire set then that would be a very harsh sentence, so they stole only a small amount of what was there but somehow didn't get charged with breaking and entering either. They (he had a accomplice) were convicted solely on the testimony of a market trader they apparently tried to sell the monogrammed silverware to. And here's the kicker, my ancestor was a 22 year old fit blacksmiths apprentice who was near the end of his training - a very desirable person to have as a colonist. The historian checked a list of some other criminals and there just happened to be a crime wave of skilled young men without wives committing offences just severe enough to get them transportation, but not jail for the rest of their lives. And once the colony was firmly established, there also happened to be a crime wave in Britian of young single women … who were then sent to Australia to be wives of the now freed former convicts. Wild coincidence that. So we (British convict settlers) were framed!! I'm sure that's great comfort for the indigenous tribes … … But what has this to do with 40K? C'mon, you know that when there's a Servitor shortage and not enough candidates, Local Imperial officials are going to falsely arrests whatever suitable disposable candidates they can find, and just make up crimes to say they committed.
It's funny how the Emperium's dark and twisted actions like making servitors is actually feeding the maelstrom and making chaos stronger. Pretty good writing, really.
@@quasmoke3553 I guess for what it’s worth If it wasn’t for the sacrifice of the servitors the imperium probably whouldnt be standing that’s my opinion on it at least still doesn’t make the act any less evil despite the good consequences but hey that’s life for ya
@@nonyabisness6306 actually yes. given that the bare minimum for a cyborg is a biological brain and that the space marines black carapace is actually more likely a system of small wires that take orders directly from the muscles and turn them into movement commands they are all cyborgs. also makes one wonder if at one point a cyborg imperial knight existed. and nope i dont mean the implants the pilot needs to controll his mech but a imperial knight mech controlled by a brain in a jar.
@@Irobert1115HD it's certainly possible. Given that the basic Tech exists, nothing would stop anyone from propping in a brain in a jar into an Imperial Knight, Imperial Titan or even an Imperial Warship. Though I suspect that human's tend to not take well to this state of being. Meaning you either have to lobotomise them or risk them going insane. Kinda reminds me of Eisenhorn, where Maxilla ran a big Voidship solely with the help of Servitors, none of which looked remotely human.
Shout out to Necron Cryptothralls - Crypteks that have been transformed by their rivals from wise, immortal sorcerer-artificers of the Eternal Empire into mindless canoptek-like automatons for all eternity
The book forges of mars has pretty detailed descriptions of the adeptus mechanicus as well as featuring a servitude that regained part of its sentience, the thoughts guardsmen and others in the book had about servitors and skiitari and interactions between tech priests, Arch-magi, Space marines and even Eldar.
I remember writing a shor story about a guy who had been turned into a servitor whose only job was opening/closing a big vault door, but not only was his consciousness was still (mostly intact), he also didn't realize he had been turned into a servitor, so he was just stuck there in a dark room wondering why the people who would come in every now and then would ignore his desperate cries for help. I felt bad about it afterwards, poor guy.
I love seeing your growth and development day by day mr. Major kill. Your new outro’s they are very fun. Good luck going forward and keep having fun with it my guy.
Has anybody here read the fanfic story 'The Emperor's finest'? It's amazing and thers an arcoflagelant that in inquisitor uses,he's called Magog I think,he's an absolute BEAST,goes toe to toe with a bloodthirster and manages to do some pretty serious damage. I recommend everyone to give it a read
No but I have red one about one particular Ogryn named Gav. And I am here because of a character named Tarla. It was a very good little story albeit a bit sad but I highly recommend it.
Funny part about the aspirants becoming servitors the tech marine iron priests of the space wolves after training with the mechanicus have to make a mastercrafted item in order to join the priests fully and if they fail they become a servitor so they basically become a marine in all aspects just to trip at the finish line and become a lobotomite
Servitor: "Sergeant Crastor, look to your battle gear, and it will protect you." Crastor: "We guard it with our lives." Servitor: "As your armor guards your life." Crastor: "As it has my fallen brethren." Servitor: "Honor the craft of death." Crastor: "We serve only the Emperor." Servitor: "Honor the battle gear of the dead." Crastor: "We ask only to serve."
Loved in dev of baal there were just little rippers eating away at a servitors belly as he continued to work. Got to hand it to them. That's dedication
Majorkill, as a Spaniard, take my advice: WHEN RUNNING IN FRONT OF A BULL, ALWAYS TAKE THE TURNS IN THE INNER SIDE. Bulls are extremely fast and heavy, so they always take the turns through the outer side of the curve. Also, if your trip is to Pamplona: 1-don't take breakfast before the run, and after it search for an "almuercico" 2- idk if he is still alive but there's and old bald man that stays in the same pace of the wall in the starting point of the run, watching. Ask someone where is he and shake his hand. It gives you luck and it's a very important tradition. People in Pamplona will feel honored to know an Australian knows about him. 3- if you fall in during race, just roll outside. The walls are made out of wood, they are called "burladeros" and the have gaps in between and underneath so you can roll or slide under 4- if a bull falls behind, DON'T TRY TO ATTRACT THEM INTO FOLLOWING THE RIGHT PATH. There's already people who do that. 5- TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS, and DON'T TRY TO RUN THE FULL RACE if you're feeling tired from partying. 6-Have Fun and welcome to Spain!
Always thought that ecclesiarchy worlds were perfect venues for a post-discontent society where the entire population could be servitor-ised into worship of the emperor, and they could wholeheartedly love it. Like, this wouldn't be milqetoast observance, but real (even if induced) devotion. Or even a 40k-equivalent of Mercerism, where the populace could try shoulder some of the weight of the Emperor. Could even have an Imperial version of the infinity circuit because forgeworlds Altar of Knowledge communicate with each other through servitor-ised astropaths.
Cain talks about 'going Siggy' Troopers who start to lose it from battle fatigue head to Sigg-whatever planet for some counciling. Same planet is one of the largest producers of combat servitors. Another story about a planet that asked for workers to travel there for a job. When they got there, the workers were hit with taxes. Anyone who couldn't pay the taxes was convicted and turned into servitors. Free labor! Fun stuff.
I think it would cool if the Black Library did a few stories set in the 25th millennium during the beginning of the end of the Golden Age. Maybe have that robot from Blackstone Fortress or even The Emperor Himself.
The best organic robot is the custdoes they are non corruptible and all unique shits crazy and take every order with no issue and stand around for 50-100 years in one place
Go and enjoy for vacation bro, you deserve it with all this awesome content you've been steadily putting out! Just started building my army and I definitely plan on buying a few of your awesome MajorKill mini's to add to the army. Safe travels dude.
I'm at the gate, early morning, waiting for a flight to Vienna. Bought some proper Ettan Swedish snus, an energy drink and sat down, plugged my headset in and looked up major kill vids. These lore vids are literally among the greatest on TH-cam right now. At least for a lore fan such as myself. Keep it up majorkill. Your lore vids about small plastic toys entertains thousands of dudes in their 30s and (according to legend) a woman is also present in the void we call wh40k community.
Hey majorkill great fan I have been seeing your videos since so long ago when you started to make videos of what happened in the end times. I'm from Portugal and I would love be have a meet and even show you a bit of the country!!!!!! We can show you were to go out in Lisbon. Great love and keep doing what you do!!!!
The drugged up monster assassin is basically a robot without too much metal but a shit load of crack and peds and it’s main purpose is to go all out die and destroy everything in sight
The basic difference is that Tech Priests have total free will, while Skiitari have mostly free will but are linked to a Tech Priest who may induce a desire in them to reprioritize their tasks. Servitors are meat golems, with extra wires and gears for flavor.
As someone with Autism & ADHD, I can only imagine how horrified those disabled people were. Being sent away to a prison colony far away from all your friends & people you know, solely because you were born different.
If I had to guess the factory process to become a servitor is close to the process like in Quake 4 brutal painfully and horrific how it should be in 40k
Have fun on vacay my man, cool to know you'll be passing by Portugal, it would be dope to have a beer if you're in the Lisbon area though you've probably gotten a bunch of offers like this lmao
Actually on vacation now in the Caribbean at an island called Saint Lucian. Absolutely amazing experience! Enjoy your vacation and I look forward to all the new ideas and content!
Also that race metaphor is literally a tldr for the OG Stephen king book the long walk may wanna give it a read it’s not long as it was a short story first lol
Just hoping you don't actually end up running with the bulls or support it. Also: I'm not sure about castellan robots, but most high-end Mechanicus constructs have some amount of human-derived neurological tissue in them to avoid being completely "artificial".
@@pelinalwhitestrake4196 I always cheer for the bull. Sometimes they win, and they're doing the gene pool a service every time they tag a Matador or a Picador. Picking fights with half-ton, angry animals for sport is _not_ a trait I want in my species.
@@anthonylamonica8301 but they are the same instinct. The instinct to do stupid shit to prove how big your balls are is basically the driving force of civilization. The only real difference alot of the time between stupid and brave is success or failure
It should be noted that even the level to which servitors are modified is varied. Some won’t even be completely lobotomized, just enhanced with augmetics. For some servitors their servitude isn’t even permanent, it’s just a temporary punishment. The pilot servitor in Ravenor is also a good example. Had a sense of self preservation and bickered with the main characters. Most likely only had augments necessary to be a better pilot.
Seeing you present in a fluffy robe, while I watch in a fluffy robe, has me thinking: Are all Australians just sensible when it comes to clothing, choosing superior comfort over fashion?
You forgot about the servitors that sit at computers waiting for TH-camrs to upload so that they can make a funny comment early and get their master a bunch of likes.
Nothing in the Warhammer universe is as brutal as the font size in the books. Why is it so small and why did I wait until my 40s to attempt to read them.

It probably has less then half of it's original body left and before it escaped it was probably forced into doing mundane tasks endlessly, plus it's probably well aware that it's no longer a itself completely anymore, so it's already been through extreme torture to be made into one, it's probably aware part of it's mind and who it once was is gone, and it was probably forced to do boring shit endlessly with no way to make it stop so it's been tortured mentally and extreme amount to.
Did he get to live?
It was a night lord of course the servitor is dead
@@ghoul4748 actually no, the info the Night Lord needed was so valuable that he let bastard roll away laughing. The scene is so memorable to me because of how they wrote the Servitor's laugh. "Het het het het het het het het het het."
I can easily picture Zso throthing in fury during the whole thing. xD
Fates, worse that death? Becoming a servitor, worse?, while being forced to listening to One Mind Syndicate.

@@shanegrimes3455 Shane Run from majorkill NOW and you might make it out alive
I know I'm sick of all the unnecessary space marine variants and make it a point to complain about GW's space marine bias every chance I get, but I always thought it was a weird missed opportunity that the Iron Hands don't have a unique servator model. I mean the iron hands turn their failed aspirants into servatores, it's possible for an aspirant to fail after they undergo augmentation, augmentation makes them stronger=stronger servator.
That is a really good point. Would of been great to see some models of servators that are heavy infantry or more.
Look out, Marines, skitarrii, and Tau are just heavy armored infantry. Maybe dwarves too.
I imagine its because they would compete with the skiitari for a similar niche.
Yeah true, I think the Iron Hands need way more unique models and characters period, and I personally would love a kit that’s just servitors of different types and augmetic limbs to be used to customize other models.
That sounds like a nice idea.
Major Kill you are probably the biggest reason why I have gotten into 40K recently, love everything about the universe and all your hilarious content
It is actually pretty true his half serious and joking takes on the lore make things much more digestible to newbies who stumble across it Warhammer.
Jeez get a room 😂
Majorkill, Australian here. A family historian relative looking at the criminal records of our ancestors noticed that the crimes didn't add up and *just happened to be enough for transportation.*
The ancestor in question broke into a mansion (without damaging any locks) and stole _only a few_ pieces of silver dinnerware - leaving everything else there.
The value of the dinnerware was just in the sweet spot to get them seven years and transportation, if they'd stolen the entire set then that would be a very harsh sentence, so they stole only a small amount of what was there but somehow didn't get charged with breaking and entering either.
They (he had a accomplice) were convicted solely on the testimony of a market trader they apparently tried to sell the monogrammed silverware to.
And here's the kicker, my ancestor was a 22 year old fit blacksmiths apprentice who was near the end of his training - a very desirable person to have as a colonist.
The historian checked a list of some other criminals and there just happened to be a crime wave of skilled young men without wives committing offences just severe enough to get them transportation, but not jail for the rest of their lives.
And once the colony was firmly established, there also happened to be a crime wave in Britian of young single women … who were then sent to Australia to be wives of the now freed former convicts.
Wild coincidence that.
So we (British convict settlers) were framed!!
I'm sure that's great comfort for the indigenous tribes … …
But what has this to do with 40K?
C'mon, you know that when there's a Servitor shortage and not enough candidates, Local Imperial officials are going to falsely arrests whatever suitable disposable candidates they can find, and just make up crimes to say they committed.
You got sent there for being Catholic/Heresy too not just crimes.
Hmm I’m gonna look into this, thanks brother.
The story of the “Mothers of Australia” working their way across half the planet was rousing. 👍🏻
The British Aristocracy is truly something else.
It's funny how the Emperium's dark and twisted actions like making servitors is actually feeding the maelstrom and making chaos stronger. Pretty good writing, really.
Alright! Finally we get to see our favorite lore explaining Australian talk about these radically dark robots.
Nay nay brother, robots are heresy. 'Atoning men' is a better word.
@@ajinkyatarodekar9099 Maybe "mechanical misbegotten" would be a better term if I still wanted to use alliteration?
Love how we get really niche lore bits like this
Wait a minute niche servitors seemed like one of the more important things in the imperium
@@necfreon6259 they are without them the imperium would have it a lot harder
@@necfreon6259 Yeah, they are basically the computers and robots in the Imperium.
@@quasmoke3553 I guess for what it’s worth If it wasn’t for the sacrifice of the servitors the imperium probably whouldnt be standing that’s my opinion on it at least still doesn’t make the act any less evil despite the good consequences but hey that’s life for ya
@@necfreon6259 That's why I like 40k. So many stuff are cruel and grim either out of necessity, or everyone is just desensitized to them.
technicaly dreadnoughts are also cyborgs. makes me wonder if there was ever one that actually a modified space marine armor suit.
Pretty sure Space Marines allready count as Cyborgs as well. After all they interface with their armor directly.
@@nonyabisness6306 actually yes. given that the bare minimum for a cyborg is a biological brain and that the space marines black carapace is actually more likely a system of small wires that take orders directly from the muscles and turn them into movement commands they are all cyborgs. also makes one wonder if at one point a cyborg imperial knight existed. and nope i dont mean the implants the pilot needs to controll his mech but a imperial knight mech controlled by a brain in a jar.
@@Irobert1115HD it's certainly possible. Given that the basic Tech exists, nothing would stop anyone from propping in a brain in a jar into an Imperial Knight, Imperial Titan or even an Imperial Warship.
Though I suspect that human's tend to not take well to this state of being. Meaning you either have to lobotomise them or risk them going insane.
Kinda reminds me of Eisenhorn, where Maxilla ran a big Voidship solely with the help of Servitors, none of which looked remotely human.
@@nonyabisness6306 does that make diabetics with implanted blood suggar monitors cyborgs?
Fates worse than death listed by Majorkill:
Eternal torture
Overwhelming disability
Dementia
That's Big E all in 1. Oops.
Someone has to find use for all those guardsmen with PTSD.
The Mechanicus can solve many problems.
Shout out to Necron Cryptothralls - Crypteks that have been transformed by their rivals from wise, immortal sorcerer-artificers of the Eternal Empire into mindless canoptek-like automatons for all eternity
The book forges of mars has pretty detailed descriptions of the adeptus mechanicus as well as featuring a servitude that regained part of its sentience, the thoughts guardsmen and others in the book had about servitors and skiitari and interactions between tech priests, Arch-magi, Space marines and even Eldar.
Currently reading that book. Really like it.
I remember writing a shor story about a guy who had been turned into a servitor whose only job was opening/closing a big vault door, but not only was his consciousness was still (mostly intact), he also didn't realize he had been turned into a servitor, so he was just stuck there in a dark room wondering why the people who would come in every now and then would ignore his desperate cries for help. I felt bad about it afterwards, poor guy.
I love seeing your growth and development day by day mr. Major kill. Your new outro’s they are very fun. Good luck going forward and keep having fun with it my guy.
First time I saw servitors was in Dawn of War, I thought they looked a bit messed up and then read about them found they were very messed up.
I love your content
Rip and tear brother!
As i always thought, humanity doesn't need Chaos and Dark Eldars to commit such horrible acts.

Has anybody here read the fanfic story 'The Emperor's finest'? It's amazing and thers an arcoflagelant that in inquisitor uses,he's called Magog I think,he's an absolute BEAST,goes toe to toe with a bloodthirster and manages to do some pretty serious damage. I recommend everyone to give it a read
No but I have red one about one particular Ogryn named Gav. And I am here because of a character named Tarla. It was a very good little story albeit a bit sad but I highly recommend it.
@@lightningguardian331 Gav and Bob are great
Honestly bro, your level of fan interaction and appreciation for said fans, is way more than most TH-camrs your size. You’re awesome.
"The Flesh is Weak." - Adeptus Mechanicus motto
Funny part about the aspirants becoming servitors the tech marine iron priests of the space wolves after training with the mechanicus have to make a mastercrafted item in order to join the priests fully and if they fail they become a servitor so they basically become a marine in all aspects just to trip at the finish line and become a lobotomite
Now that is brutal
Servitor: "Sergeant Crastor, look to your battle gear, and it will protect you."
Crastor: "We guard it with our lives."
Servitor: "As your armor guards your life."
Crastor: "As it has my fallen brethren."
Servitor: "Honor the craft of death."
Crastor: "We serve only the Emperor."
Servitor: "Honor the battle gear of the dead."
Crastor: "We ask only to serve."
Ultramarine movie
Fuck, now i remember that movies exist....
That servitor was probably and aspirant
Every time MajorKill says "THE GOD EMPEROR OF MAN KIND!" the blood rushes to my loins so fast that I get the spins.
Good luck with the bulls mate!
This is going to be Steve Irwin all over again.
Archoflagellants be like: *"IT'S MORBIN' TIME!!"*
Do every single type of melee in the imperium
He did do every gun so not a bad idea
That video would be like six months long
Loved in dev of baal there were just little rippers eating away at a servitors belly as he continued to work.
Got to hand it to them. That's dedication
Fuck yeah Majorkill, have a good trip dude! And plz don't die while you're gone, your content is a highlight of my week.
Majorkill, as a Spaniard, take my advice: WHEN RUNNING IN FRONT OF A BULL, ALWAYS TAKE THE TURNS IN THE INNER SIDE. Bulls are extremely fast and heavy, so they always take the turns through the outer side of the curve.
Also, if your trip is to Pamplona:
1-don't take breakfast before the run, and after it search for an "almuercico"
2- idk if he is still alive but there's and old bald man that stays in the same pace of the wall in the starting point of the run, watching. Ask someone where is he and shake his hand. It gives you luck and it's a very important tradition. People in Pamplona will feel honored to know an Australian knows about him.
3- if you fall in during race, just roll outside. The walls are made out of wood, they are called "burladeros" and the have gaps in between and underneath so you can roll or slide under
4- if a bull falls behind, DON'T TRY TO ATTRACT THEM INTO FOLLOWING THE RIGHT PATH. There's already people who do that.
5- TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS, and DON'T TRY TO RUN THE FULL RACE if you're feeling tired from partying.
6-Have Fun and welcome to Spain!
Always thought that ecclesiarchy worlds were perfect venues for a post-discontent society where the entire population could be servitor-ised into worship of the emperor, and they could wholeheartedly love it. Like, this wouldn't be milqetoast observance, but real (even if induced) devotion. Or even a 40k-equivalent of Mercerism, where the populace could try shoulder some of the weight of the Emperor. Could even have an Imperial version of the infinity circuit because forgeworlds Altar of Knowledge communicate with each other through servitor-ised astropaths.
I would buy a Majorkill-in-a-speedo calendar.
Best ending so far Majorkill. That's the premium shit content I'm here for!
Oh noooo
You've recorded yourself talking, such hard work! Poor you
Cain talks about 'going Siggy' Troopers who start to lose it from battle fatigue head to Sigg-whatever planet for some counciling. Same planet is one of the largest producers of combat servitors. Another story about a planet that asked for workers to travel there for a job. When they got there, the workers were hit with taxes. Anyone who couldn't pay the taxes was convicted and turned into servitors. Free labor! Fun stuff.
I think it would cool if the Black Library did a few stories set in the 25th millennium during the beginning of the end of the Golden Age. Maybe have that robot from Blackstone Fortress or even The Emperor Himself.
..but Major Kill, where did Timmy go?
The servitor voice lines in Darktide breaks my heart everytime. "Please take me with you, I'm so lonely."
The best organic robot is the custdoes they are non corruptible and all unique shits crazy and take every order with no issue and stand around for 50-100 years in one place
Majorkill I just wanted to say thanks for fulfilling my request in a previous vid thanks you absolute mad lad
I used to have a kit bashed servitor in my Inquisitor warband. Love the lore behind these.
Enjoy your vacation Majorkill ☺️ thanks for the pre-made content
Servitor "What is my purpose?"
Techpriest ""You pass butter."

Yes, I too suffer a FACE worse than death
Go and enjoy for vacation bro, you deserve it with all this awesome content you've been steadily putting out! Just started building my army and I definitely plan on buying a few of your awesome MajorKill mini's to add to the army. Safe travels dude.
Majorkill took a big shit, got out of the bathroom after a bath and thought to himself:
*"I should make a servitor video"*
And here we are
"so many people suffering a fate worse than death and nobody bats an eye.."
So.. how people treat restaurant servers today?
ooh look at you, dragging totally unrelated crap into a 40k conversation for goodboy points....
@@cthulhupthagn5771 It sounds like you feel targeted by this..
Yeah I think that’s not just restaurant servers. I think that’s how the entire service industry is treated.
Fighting a rogue servitor horde would be a badass darktide expansion

Would you rather be a servator or live in Australia
Personally I would rather be a servator
I'm at the gate, early morning, waiting for a flight to Vienna. Bought some proper Ettan Swedish snus, an energy drink and sat down, plugged my headset in and looked up major kill vids. These lore vids are literally among the greatest on TH-cam right now. At least for a lore fan such as myself.
Keep it up majorkill. Your lore vids about small plastic toys entertains thousands of dudes in their 30s and (according to legend) a woman is also present in the void we call wh40k community.
Me and my buddies are actually about to head out to Spain in a few days for the running with the bulls festival so I hope we both have a great time 🤙
I hope you have a great time in Europe my dude ! Thank you for you amazing work.
Great video, i would love if you made others about that subject, it's very interesting. Enjoy europe!
It’s like the imperium turns you into a walking forklift cyborg that is in agonizing pain. Ouch!
A thought that lives in my mind rent free are the servitors who maintain hive city sewer systems
Don’t let the bulls fuckin’ merk ya, lord knows the blood of Australians gives them the jollies. Be swift, and may you not trip, Chief.
Good luck homie on your vaca dude. Have fun out there
Hey majorkill great fan I have been seeing your videos since so long ago when you started to make videos of what happened in the end times. I'm from Portugal and I would love be have a meet and even show you a bit of the country!!!!!! We can show you were to go out in Lisbon. Great love and keep doing what you do!!!!
Have fun in Santiago mate and remember you don't have to outrun the bull just the people that trips and falls
After reading (listening to because WTF has enough time to read?!) to "Flesh and Steel" the whole Servitor thing is next level!
The drugged up monster assassin is basically a robot without too much metal but a shit load of crack and peds and it’s main purpose is to go all out die and destroy everything in sight
Well this is good timing. I just started the 4th Horus Heresy book (Flight of the Eisenstein) and I was wondering what servitors actually were.
Can you make a video on Skiitary ? And the difference between them, Tech Priests and normal servitors ?
The basic difference is that Tech Priests have total free will, while Skiitari have mostly free will but are linked to a Tech Priest who may induce a desire in them to reprioritize their tasks. Servitors are meat golems, with extra wires and gears for flavor.
Hey Majorkill, please make a video about the Skitarri one day
You missed star wars when the Droid ig-88 hacked into the second death star and planned on a Droid rebellion
It wasnt just criminals we sent to Australia, a lot were disabled, mentally handicapped, etc.
As someone with Autism & ADHD, I can only imagine how horrified those disabled people were. Being sent away to a prison colony far away from all your friends & people you know, solely because you were born different.
Major, be careful with the bulls here in Spain, try not to get too wasted before running!
You get back the day after I go on vacation cant wait to see the new content while I'm toes in the water ass in the sand
could you please make a video about the battle Automata of 30k and 40k I would love to learn about them
If I had to guess the factory process to become a servitor is close to the process like in Quake 4 brutal painfully and horrific how it should be in 40k
The novel flesh and steel briefly describes the process of criminals being shoved into factory lines and ‘turned’into servitors , dark stuff .
If you coming to Portugal try Lagos. After Pamplona bull run Lagos will be the ANZAC corner of Europe.
The Adeptus Mechanicus may be obsessed lovers for toasters but they can be scary as hell for a good reason.
Have fun on vacay my man, cool to know you'll be passing by Portugal, it would be dope to have a beer if you're in the Lisbon area though you've probably gotten a bunch of offers like this lmao
Actually on vacation now in the Caribbean at an island called Saint Lucian. Absolutely amazing experience! Enjoy your vacation and I look forward to all the new ideas and content!
St. Lucia. My home. I hope you enjoy your stay.
Thank you for all the work you do.
Don't die running with bulls.
Majorkill forgetting his outro probably the funniest thing ever 😂
Also, castellan robots, like almost all cogitator-based tech, is actually build around human brain tissue as the core computing part.
DO NOT ACTUALLY RUN OUT THERE WITH THE BULLS OR YOU'LL END UP LIKE A SERVITOR!!!!!!!!
Also that race metaphor is literally a tldr for the OG Stephen king book the long walk may wanna give it a read it’s not long as it was a short story first lol
Those plushies sales must have really been nice
As always. An amazing video
Just hoping you don't actually end up running with the bulls or support it.
Also: I'm not sure about castellan robots, but most high-end Mechanicus constructs have some amount of human-derived neurological tissue in them to avoid being completely "artificial".
Agreed, the practice of torturing bulls is horrific. Not at all culture.
@@pelinalwhitestrake4196 I always cheer for the bull. Sometimes they win, and they're doing the gene pool a service every time they tag a Matador or a Picador. Picking fights with half-ton, angry animals for sport is _not_ a trait I want in my species.
@@anthonylamonica8301 never wouldve got where we havevif we didnt
@@mondaysinsanity8193 For sport? I think not. For food and resources? I can respect that. Courage and idiocy aren't the same thing.
@@anthonylamonica8301 but they are the same instinct.
The instinct to do stupid shit to prove how big your balls are is basically the driving force of civilization.
The only real difference alot of the time between stupid and brave is success or failure
It should be noted that even the level to which servitors are modified is varied. Some won’t even be completely lobotomized, just enhanced with augmetics. For some servitors their servitude isn’t even permanent, it’s just a temporary punishment. The pilot servitor in Ravenor is also a good example. Had a sense of self preservation and bickered with the main characters. Most likely only had augments necessary to be a better pilot.
I like the deeper "let's get into it" intro that you used to do
Seeing you present in a fluffy robe, while I watch in a fluffy robe, has me thinking:
Are all Australians just sensible when it comes to clothing, choosing superior comfort over fashion?
You forgot about the servitors that sit at computers waiting for TH-camrs to upload so that they can make a funny comment early and get their master a bunch of likes.
Nothing in the Warhammer universe is as brutal as the font size in the books. Why is it so small and why did I wait until my 40s to attempt to read them.
This is the best way to start your day
