Hello Majorkill,
Would you kindly make some lore videos on the Imperial Truth, the Imperial Creed, the Ecclesiarchy? Pretty please? Thank you.
What if the cybernetic revolt never happened?
Lion: "I have returned!"
Guilliman: "Thank goodness! You're now in charge of the Imperium's armies as Lord Commander by the way."
Lion: "So basically I will be Warmaster by another name."
Guilliman: "Indeed, now I can finally focus on unscrewing everything wrong in the Administratum as a bureaucrat I am!"
Lion: "Yay."
Guilliman shotgunning and lighting a cigarette: "Time to unfuck this posthaste"
And then The drop kick The abbadon.
More like Bobby G tosses the Lion the Keys to the Imperial palace says “Place is all yours” and takes off for a pleasure world for some Relaxation
Gman and the Lion really are the dream team to un-fuck the imperium in 40k, I can't think of any other loyalist primarch returns that would have as big of impacts as them, atleast in a Duo-Primarch sense
@large_fries7144 rogal dorn or jaghatai khan. If either of them come back think how much choas would collectively lose their shit
The Lion woke up from his 10,000 years of living under The Rock and chose violence.
It's 40k, if you don't choose violence, it will be chosen for you.
Yes. My exact thoughts
You can't blame the Lion for being so unaware about the state of the galaxy. After all, he spent millenia living under the rock
When didn't he choose violence?
And the galaxy rejoiced
The funniest scene happened when Lion pinned down one of Chaos Space Marines(possibly warband leader, I am not sure on this one) demanding of him to take the curse, which made his moves so rusty. Chaos Marine had no idea what he is talking about, being additionally pissed that someone had defeated them without much effort, and is sayinng he done this while not at full strenght
He demanded to know who is the person before him, so Lion removed his helmet and introduced himself. The Marine was first shocked, then started laughing
"There is no curse my Lord, you simply grew old!'
And then Lion finish him
Literally the only reason they didn't put him in stasis like Girlyman is because Lion at his peak would *liquify* the rest of the galaxy. Even aged 10,000 years the fights still pretty one sided.
im sure the rust cleared up once he had that whole spirit journey
@@yamahadrag69 I'm pretty sure the lion being rusty is just due to waking up after being asleep for 10000 years
That is totally different from stasis which freezes time
Primarchs do not age they aren't affected by him his "rusty" state is temporary (get ready chaos ....)
@@josephboustany4852 dude is literally processing info of 10,000 years with evolved strategies, tactics, weapons, and vehicles, even new factions. Dude is probably confused at all times and is pretending to know what's happening.
@@josephboustany4852 we both know that's what the lore says. But we *all* know how GW treats previously established lore...
GW and contradictory lore, name a more iconic duo
Disney Star Wars and contradictory lore
@@DarthNethus GW is usually a funny or annoying contradiction, Disney and Star Wars is just sad
Alpharius and Alpharius
@@Lupercalum facts! It's like watching a dead horse get skinned and whipped over and over again, and you have the freaks clapping for more
Unreliable story telling more than anything, the lore had gotten to Guilliman crossing the rift, reaching Baal and heading for the Pariah. Then they went "Wait! Flashback"
The Son of the Forest book really shows how insidious Chaos Corruption is, Seraphax genuinely thinks he is using chaos for the good of humanity and doesn't realize that Chaos is misleading him into killing the emperor for their own gain. His Plan is completely Logical from his perspective and chaos only needs to twist his mind in tiny ways to get him to do their bidding, whilst he still thinks he's loyal
Tzeentch BS in a nutshell.
Chaos really only works, because it makes people attempt the plausible.
"Theres no shitty lore, just shitty writers" Man this is so true, sometimes I wonder what is GW thinking.
I bet they must be thinking: "Data says Space Marine bolterporn sells, so we must make more Space Marine bolterporn content."
They think - "How deep must we deepthroat Blackrock executives for them to give us money."
Cue space marine neo pronoun bullshiet
i think it’s hilarious how both times a loyalist primarch returned to the setting, it was a world eater that lunged at them first
Lion El'Jonson is about to go for a walk in his Bro-Trip Crusade.
A very enthusiastic walk.
Inquisitor “nooooooooo”
Good reference
Guilliman: AZRAEL WHAT EVER YPU DO NOT LET HIM LEAVE THE IMPERIAL PALACE I REPEAT DO NOT LET HIM LEAVE THE IMPERIAL PALACE!!
God I wish alfabruvasa was still doing tts.😢
So much for Dairy Queen. Imperium can't have shit.
"One of my Brothers still lives? That's great!
Oh... It's Rowboat?
Well, I'll get around to seeing him, eventually."
Rowboat has to be one of my favorites names for the G-Man
Rowboat😂 That's a good one.
Once I finish winning all the 1v1's he's been taking L's in. Can't wait to rub THAT in his face.
Lion "Space Tywin Lannister" El'Jonson: "Hello, everyone. How's your health plan?"
Enemies: *attack!*
Lion "Space Tywin Lannister" El'Jonson: "Apparently it was great."
Hehe past tense
Haha nice Alucard reference.
A Lionister always pays his debts...
Just don't let him take a walk...
lmao "He's been a busy little bee. Buzz Buzz" cracks me up whenever you use that line. Love the content as always
I'm convinced the soul removal thing is the reason he was in a coma for 10,000 years. I think Luthur knocked the Lion's soul from his body and it was sent back to the warp. That's why his body aged because it was simply an empty shell. When he came to, it was the Emperor who was fishing (which was a metaphor) to pluck the Lion's soul from the warp and put him back into his body.
i do think primarchs can age at least physically, afterall perurabo was hyperaged by the hrud. and he LOOKS like a grumpy old man by the time of the heresy. he has like, 8 lines on his forehead. afterall the only one who got the emperors perpetual powers was vulkan, so he might be the only one who cant age. we also dont see the emperors true form, only the sisters of silence have.
@@conan2096the primarchs seem to be immortal just like the big E but im pretty sure that has to do with their warp influence. Vulkan is a perpetual because he cannot actually die, he’ll just eventually come back. I think this guys theory actually holds weight that without their warp touched souls the primarchs flesh will age
Seeing how 40k basically copy and paste from history and other writings. The fishing thing is most likely based on the English story of the Fisher King.
That would explain why the Big E has such a hard time doing anything cuz he’s too busy looking for Leman Russ and Jaghatai, I really can’t wait to find out what happened to them. He might even be trying to fix Vulcans mind after Konrad turbo tortured him.
Nah, his body aged like that because he fell asleep in the rock that makes you old
I think what lion means by being less secretive is that he's now telling his inner circle the truth of things and that's what spooking them. They are being shown what he was hiding.
It’s so wild we haven’t gotten more Lion books. The first one was solid and there is so much to cover with the DA dealing with the Fallen now
You feel it’s been like a year?? Doesn’t even have to be a whole novel a bloody short story would satiate my hunger!!
I imagine at least a bit to screaming internally. To stoic for actually doing it externally but had to have at least one "wtf even is this Imperium I fought for now?!" Internally
If calgar, a space marine can kill a hive tyrant, then a son of god can certainly wipe his ass with the tyrant
MC is the king of plot armors
@@elitedangerous7591he REALLY is no cap, he’s gonna fuck around and get older than Dante at this rate. Holding bets on which one of them would die first lol
If Matt Ward were writing, a helmetless Marneus Calgar would take on a swarmlord, a hive tyrant, a norn emissary, and then jump into space to punch a bio-ship into a black hole.
@@stanleylee5358 We miss Matt Ward
Chapter masters are strong, no other explanation needed
I love the idea of the Risen keeping their old Great Crusade and Horus Heresy era armour, it gives them a bit of a difference to the 40K era Dark Angels, plus the black and red colour palette is much more Dark Angels than their Forest Green colour for the regular Astartes.
Also the Lion's reaction to seeing Dante's Deathmask is so similar to Dante's reaction to seeing that one Necron Lord (I think it was Szarekh but I can't remember) who also had a Deathmask as a show of respect to Sanguinius,
Lion took a VERRY enthusiastic walk.
The Lion meeting Guilliman is what we need right now.
Lion and the bros just hanging out in the secret chambers of the rock hitting the blunt and playing games. Best legion
they are balls deep in a DnD campagin there.
@@elitedangerous7591 man they are living the dream...
Top tiers for sho lol
Swarmlord: Hah! Primarchs aren't that tough.
Lion: Hehehehehehe! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! ...you've been fighting my brother.
You've been fighting my nerd* brother.
Be a hell raising boss, that’s what he’s done
I mean Guilliman himself is just sitting in a Desk right now signing papers...\s
Quick the 40k himbo posted another vid!
Funny thing about the speculation of a Primarch vs Abbadon showdown.
When Abbadon was told Lion came back his reaction basically amounted to, "ok.... change of plans, we are all in immense and immediate danger!"
A video on if magnus took the emperors replacement legion would be dope. This is like month 2 I think? But I shall continue
❤❤❤
"what if the Emporer fought for the entire horus heresy" majorkill did this hypothetical that includes a loyal Magnus about a month ago.
Keep it goin
A Video about the other Primarchs "awakened" Warp Abilitys would be cool.
Yessss🥰
A video of the top ten community made wholesome moments would be great
"The Codex writers and the book writers don't read each other's work" That's the truest GW comment I've ever heard.
Uploaded right as I went on break. Damn good timing.
The awesome thing about MK is that no video of his will ever be longer than any break you’ll take. Easily can watch one or three of his vids by the time break is over with some time to spare lol
You should do videos like this for Guilliman and other important characters! I have no idea what’s currently going on. Maybe a “current lore” video every 3ish months
He and azrael have been punching blunts with the rest of the Unforgiven on the rock as they have all collectively decided that the galaxy is too fucked up and only fulgrim seems to be having fun with slannesh
Ironically, Fulgrim is sorta just lazing around with no motivation. The nature of Slaanesh is that no high or adventure is enough.
@@TheHound402 Even more reason to bring back clonegrim and spice things up
@@akatsukicloak I cant seem to remember..did Fabius kept teh clone ?
@@elitedangerous7591 Fabius gave away the clone to Trazyn for his collection.
@@elitedangerous7591 He gave it to trazyn
A video on the the first founding chapters and the relationships between there most prominent successors would be cool
Interesting fact: Lion is actually the first primarch to face the tyranids
The Lion knows best, it will eventually be reviled. Loyalty is its own reward.
I searched for a video about this a while ago and came up with very few results, thank you for covering this
Would be really keen to see a video on the imperial palace
I'd imagine Dante would pass along the news. I'd be happy with a small tidbit of Gulliman receiving the news
Hmm, a new lore bomb I never knew existed
What if the Emperor wasn’t able to reach Nuceria in time to prevent Angron dying from the High Riders? How would having one less available Primarch affect the heresy with more lopsided sides?
The war hounds would’ve remained loyal and Angron would’ve probably been revived by the emperor
Khorne would still need a primarch champion. Probably best it was Angron instead of someone like Sanguinius or Dorn
He slept.
He awoke.
But importantly.
He will kill for the Throne.
He's probably been asking why Guilliman got his own trilogy while he's had fuck all
He's secretly sponsoring Battlemace 40 million schmentai
Lion is not my favorite primarch but got dang is his aesthetic with helmet/hood sick
Who’s your favorite primarch mine literally switches everytime I change my boxers it seems lmaoo
@kinguchiha6212 It's either Gman or Jaghatai. I think it's their practical mindset but can still go Super Saiyan and start speed blitzing Orks or punching heads off in space 🤌
The Tyranids were not ready for the Lion to return, the Emperor's Exterminator has mastered amd practiced galactic scale Xenocide his whole Primarch life.
Been a Dark Angels player since 4th edition. I love the Lion being back so much.
The lion accidentally clicked new game instead of new game+ so he has to grind xp to raise his level again.
Just woke up, needed a chill way to start the day. Woot.
It’s kind of odd that guilliman got the sword, and not the lion. I thought it was pretty well established that the lion was the greatest swordsman of the primarchs
I love the hand movements at the end 10:40
Bro is reeling me in for mild a thrust
You missed him palling about with the Cowled Wardens, murdering Jahangir - whatever those are.
Video idea: scholar progenium explained
Lion had one of the best character development among primarchs. His huge ego got crushed. Now he is reasonable and talkative like a grandpa 😆 I hope Russ returns next, more civilized.
Also they gimped the Lion abilities.
The fact that we have only one Lion novel at this point is borderline criminal… not like GW leave that much potential revenue on the table.
Love the lion and would love for some more lore and model updates.
I was gutted when I missed out on the singlets that you released a while back, they were fukin mint.
Keep up the great content fella. 💪😎👍
How I imagine the tyranids reacting to him:
What is that? What the Fuck is that?
Day 85 of asking for a dedicated series of videos detailing in depth the Lion El'Heresy
Can I just highlight Majorkills complexion? Looking good, brother!
Makes sense that Dark Angels secrecy wouldn't vanish overnight, or completely. Interested to see what changes about them.
Son of the forest is also a great standalone sci fi / fantasy novel. Its got everything.
The Knight of Nihilus, huh?
"The Knight of the End." Or, more directly, "The Knight of Nothing."
Either way, that seems just about right.
uperb video as always @majorkill.
Could you make a video dedicated to the Navigators, the major houses, their politics, relation to the overall Imperium and factions
The contradiction of his feelings and opinions of his shortcomings in just two books is peak GW
I love how Angron is just Old School Kratos nowadays with endless rage and death being a minor inconvenience.
Loving the new fan arts
I imagine the meeting between Guilliman and the Lion will be emotional
From the Lion’s perspective, he’s only been separated from his brothers for a few years at most. He has relatively recent memories of Imperium Secundus, the Scouring, and parting ways with Guilliman on less than friendly terms. He would go to Guilliman and apologize for being a dick and suggest they just get right to work.
Guilliman, by contrast, has been awake and dealing with the shitshow that is the Milky Way Galaxy for centuries. He’s been alone, suffering in silence, enduring the greatest insult to the Emperors dream imaginable. He’s been cut off from anything resembling a moment of peace for centuries. He thought all of his loyal brothers were dead, two of his traitor brothers tried to kill him again, and he saw with his own eyes the rotting corpse that was his father. He’s seen how far the Imperium has fallen, and he endures the worst of it every day.
When Guilliman and the Lion meet, the Lion will be curt and formal, maybe showing a bit of brotherly affection. Guilliman, however, I see finally allowing himself a moment of weakness, immediately going to his brother for a hug and maybe even crying.
I kinda want to see how the Viltrumite Empire would do in 40k considering they're also attempting to conquer the galaxy
If this Friday is a release of what I think it is.. I'm gonna go nuts. Major mini stocks going crazy
Every time the lion makes someone disappear he takes the leaders to the cave to take them to the shadow realm to show them what happens to traitors.
At least thats what i chose to believe
Awesome vid
Just used the mini-case for the first time on a 2k point custodes army. Worked great. 👍
As with all things, we must wait until Black Library commissions another novel with the Lion. However, since their priorities are always dictated by their parent companies need to have books that tie in with whatever update is coming out, we may not see anything with the Lion anytime soon.
I hope they bring my boy Perturabo back and its revealed he did not become a demon prince
I hope he is still himself too, the guy carried the dam siege itself lets be honest. After reading the Siege of Terra books annoyingly it hints at him wanting to become a deamon prince but i really hope not.
Love your work 🖖
We need more recap videos for primarchs, chapters and other factions
If this man decides one day to say the emperor died and horus took his place on the throne that would become cannon lore to me since he got me addicted to wh40k
Bro was lagging so hard it took him 10k years to respawn
Exciting time to be a DA fan. Building a Risen detachment as we speak.
Hehe Asmodai works best with the Inner Circle Companions. Also he established the Protectorate which is an area of worlds he can consistently Forest walk to, which is conveniently not that far from the Startide Nexus; a portal between both halves of the galaxy. Hint hint.
Day 532 of requesting a Commissar Yarrick Major Mini pls and thank you
I'm just waiting for my glorious WARHAWK BOI Jaghatai
I think with the forrest walk ability he could be collecting his loyalist brothers one by one. Maybe not present it as that easy but at least its an option for going forward.
Lion: Finaly becomes "Warmaster"
Also Lion: Realizes the F*** Up Imperium and all it´s F*** Armies in the 41th Millenium
Lion: Well .... sh*t. *sobbs in a Watcher Robe*
Watcher: *screeching Watcher noise*
Lion: *Still goes to Work*
What if the emperor wanted to be worshipped as a God and had created the esslarcy the imperial cult in order to defeat the chaos gods
@majorkill A video on each of the primarch’s favourite food would be cool. Also a video on how each of the pirmarch’s would react to being implanted with the butcher’s nails would be cool as well.
Thanks Factor.
I want some bloody cypher lore Sooo badly...yet at the same time i am so worried that they will mess it up somehow. None the less i hope we get the Lion to interact with Cypher, G-man and so many others.
Really as excited for more risen/redeemed fallen lore as I am for more lion lore lol
idk why the subreddits hate on you. you do your work and research. keep being strong
I want a book/short story of the lion and Roboute chatting and strategizing together forgiving each other for past slights and forging ahead as equals but more importantly true brothers. You can even have Roboute trading weapons with the Lion, “A true warrior needs a sword to match” “And a good leader must always protect his people” they hug and part ways knowing now they aren’t fighting alone.
Lionel Jhonson: Hi belisarius Cawl, i want my shit-load of primaris reinforcements, NOW!, please!. You gave them to Guilliman , now i want my own!!!
Cawl: I need a moment.(100 years later) Here ya go!!, lets see if you have more luck with the tyranids than the ultramarines. And good luck with Magnus by the way!!
I forgot that Vashtorr and the Arks of Omen were a thing.
The most annoying thing about this is that when G-Man came back, GW were falling all over themselves to say what was going on with him.
*Lion sees death mask*
YOU DARE WEAR THE FACE OF MY BROTHER!!
*after a quick TedEd explainer vid from the blood angels*
Lion: oh okay cool how have you been Dante?
After seeing the state of the galaxy the Lion desperately wants to go back to bed.
I am Deathguard but man after reading the lion he’s became my favorite imperium primarch other than sangy
They need to give him his forrest walk ability back. Hes the best duelist out of the primarchs, yet hes gimped. He should have Belials ability to give mortal wounds. Its alot better than the current ability with the emperors shield. Make it make sense.
I’d like to see a video or at least a short where you break down who you think might be the true identity of Lohoc the red whisper
get this guy to 600k
Please just let these two meet already. Gman needs it.
