Make another fantasy video please! Don’t forget where this channel came from! I
Yeah the chaos gods are only portrayed as being evil but there really not only in 40k is this the case slannesh is not just the god of tits and ass but a multitude of other things as well so is khorne so is nurgle so is tzeentch
Hello Majorkill,
Would you kindly make some lore videos on the Imperial Truth, the Imperial Creed, the Ecclesiarchy? Pretty please? Thank you.
please do not buy fum, it is NOT good for your health at all
Nah, bro is a real one for keeping those failed takes in. Honestly, as someone who tried to do these commentary-like videos before, failing a take always made me unmotivated to do them since it felt like every TH-camr was one taking it, but seeing you f up and keeping it in is great. Good to know it's a natural process. Just thought I'd say this
Can u elaborate? I'm a 40k newbie.
@@KerriganTyranid Usually when you do video commentaries like this, you'd tend to screw up. This is due to the influence of the Chaos Gods. Most TH-camrs would cut out the parts where they screw up, to appease the Chaos Gods. However, the host of this video did not cut out the part where he screwed up. He faces his screw-ups head on, like a Cadian staring straight at the Eye of Terror.
Origin of chaos goods is in myth of 4 riders of apocalypse BCS W40 K is so unique. 😆
War - Khorn, Plague - Nurgel, Hunger - Slaneesh and Death - Tznitch. 🤣
And reason why Tznitch didnt kill othere chaos goods 😂 bcs they working for him🤨 how u ask ? they creating death. 😆😆😆 strenghening Tznitch.😂😂😂 Whole secrets of chaos goods base story.😂
I appreciate that Majorkill left in his failed takes for the shits and giggles.
@@AbsurdistAsian So this is kinda 40k joke comment?
00:17 Ah yes, the classic tzeentchian spell of "Hippidy hoppidy your tongue is my property"
Almost made me spit out my food xD
Slaanesh also makes use of that spell
@@jakedunkin4728holy fuck 🤣
I'll have my Timmy moment: Nurgle only loves himself. His daemons are joyful shitheads because they are him, but his mortal followers know nothing but suffering and agony that they've gaslit themselves into accepting as kindness.
That’s a good take
Nah I prefer the twist that the most putrid of the chaos gods is actually the nice guy.
I don't even think that's a hot take so much as it's just the actual truth. Nurgle loves you *but only* when you stop taking care of yourself and giving your all to him. All 4 Chaos Gods are literally just the previous statement but written in different fonts.
Shut up Timmy.
Exactly. I mean being made into a pox walker isn't exactly the greatest show of affection
0:25 FACK..... as a dyslexic who struggles in similar ways, I FELT THIS :)
There's actually debate over if viruses are "alive." Some biologists say self replication is nessaraly for life. Others disagreeing and saying essentially that they evolve like they're alive so they're alive. I don't know, I don't know how much it matters.
I have heard people debate whether they are technically "alive', though let's be real, they're definitely as aspect of life. If we found something akin to a virus on another planet, I'm sure the entire community on earth would say that it has indeed discovered alien life.
All is life. They carry info, and transmit it to reproduce. And are even concious.
@@FroggyTheGroggy By your definition yes viruses are life, issue is thats its the definition that is argued about. I dont even want to get into it honestly since its really a case of the world not fitting in the neat little boxes we try and make for it.
- _"Hey, you forgot Malal!"_
- *_"He doesn't exist, shut up."_*
Malice does
I’m rewatching the speech once a month
If I remember right, Slanesh appeared before Fabious Bile as a face that took up the entire sky. Even after that he was like "God's don't exist". I kind of admire that level of stubbornness and denial
Finally, a video to eat to!
MY MEAL WILL BE LEGENDARY!!
Best thing in the world!
The only way for old lore(3 gods born from humanity) to make sense is that each specie spawn their own Chaos Gods but humanity 3 Gods defeated & consumed their counterpart from other species(maybe during the Age of Strife when humanity is both spreaded out all of the galaxy & is in crazy panic mode) & became the sole God of each aspect of Chaos
Just give grandpa nurgle a great big hug and embrace his love
yeah id rather give slaanesh a hug i already love drugs rather get access to better drugs than be filled with maggots have my guts fall out and stink like shit
I would deal with the superiority complex OF THE MOST HUMBLE of Inquisitors,Eldar or Necron...
Actually that sound worse just feed me to the Tyranids and be done with it!
Long as i get to feel happy for once
0:22 lmao he looks like he's having a stroke.😂😂
Since his pre-paid girlfriend split, he probably was 😉
Tzeentch got him
Here are some ideas for consideration:
What if every Astartes Legion staged a coup on the Emperor and took over the Imperium? How would they rule it and how successful would it be, compared to the canon Imperium? (this is all legions on the same side with minimal Chaos influence on events)
What if 2 Primarchs held the Warmaster position cooperatively, under the assumption that those who would take issue at one Warmaster would respect the other one more and they could thus overall be more productive?
Which nonhuman species would be the best fit for Chaos to take over and attain galactic dominance?
If any one Loyalist and Traitor Primarch switched sides for the Horus Heresy, who would you choose for the best outcome for either the Loyalists, or the Traitors?
What if the Silent King never got rid of his Command Protocols and took (almost) all the Necrons with him out of the galaxy to perhaps find a new and better one and come across the Tyranids?
What if the Great Crusade had all the Primarchs and none turned Traitor, but there were no Astartes?
What if the Beast Orks succeeded in defeating the Imperium?
What if the Raptor Project succeeded/was never sabotaged?
How would each Heresy/Crusade-era Primarch and Legion fare against the modern Tau Empire?
What if one of the Primarchs landed on a xenos world and was raised by them?
What if the Eldar managed to kill Angron before he was enslaved?
What if another power rose to power during M31 instead of the Imperium, such as the Ullanor Orks, the Rangdan, or the Necrons via the Silent King returning early?
What if the Beast Orks grew to threaten the Imperium before the Heresy could happen?
What if the Tyranids arrived in M31, before the Heresy could happen?
I know Mojorkill will be proud to Hear that I finally got my hands on a Lion El’Johnson Mini, that I found in a random comic book store
Mojorkill! Sauron wants to See you!
MajorKill just seems like the kind of dude that I'd be down to go get a beer with while Arch is the kind of guy I'd do my utmost to avoid being seen with.
Ive followed this channel since 2018 and its so good to see it get better and better, with new fans coming to warhammer this channel should go to the stratosphere where it belongs
Aeldari finally figured out how to complete their "God of Death" plan too. So the grand rumble should be entertaining!!
Who else has money on the Necrons & their Pokéballs?
What I really like with Majorkill at handling Warp-related topics is he keep emphasized Games Workshop's constant retcons about The Warp and frequent exaggerations with it, that makes digging Warhammer 40K borderline insufferable especially to powerscalers that think Warhammer 40K is the most overpowered settings (especially at misinforming newbies), therefore brushing the more interesting dynamics of how Warp gods works in delicate cycles of ups and downs (including gods of order, gods of chaos, neutral-aligned gods to Galaxy-ending threat like Hivemind's "Shadow in The Warp"), with Emperor as turning point that can shakes things up as so far being the only Warp entity that can permanently shedding chaos by conventional weapons crafted specially by his metaphysical nature
Not to mention that lesser warp gods that are Primarchs' souls are working independently from chaos gods, hence other Majorkill theory fits so well with how Primarchs turned into daemon are more of sidegrades than upgrades (not to mention that Daemon Primarch Magnus being kicked so hard constantly despite juiced more by chaos and purged of his righteous shard, being so embarassingly pitiful, therefore showcasing how chaos gods aren't THE be all and end all, not to mention that Tzeentch was horrified with how Kairos was mutated from Well of Eternity visit that he feels like Kairos being so foreign from even his psychic conception of "Change", something that even horrifies chaos gods are THE REAL ELDRITCH bullshits tbh)
Very good video and comprehensive for beginners too, it might need some couple deliberations like the primarchs souls being lesser warp gods that grows independently and acts by bending destinies surrounding them (as long as they have self-esteem, so not Conrad Kurze's pitiful mentality), but overall it's already way more than adequate
Only Rick cared about coherency in the warp, and he wasnt all that coherent, how do you explain the contrary of logic anyways?
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? What would happen to the War Hounds? What would happen to Nuceria? Who do you think would go to Khorne?
Another Primarch + Legion falls to Khorne
Dorn and the Imperial Fists fall to Khorne. Horus wins the Heresy easily
Majokill! Make a Gabriel Angelos model! One i can proxy Guilliman with! And my life, is yours!
8:30 Bacteria, yes. Viruses, not so much. There's a massive debate as to whether viruses can be considered alive or not.
i still just never understood how viruses even evolved since they literally require normal cells to exist, and exist only to spread more. honestly its the craziest part of nature that i've ever seen
Lovecraftian also doesn't make sensfobecause the Warhammer'verse is not the dream of a primordial elder god(for now, at least).
Lovecraft was solipsist, warhammer is animist xD, which makes more sense.
"No chemicals"
- Flavored Air 🤨
I know, he's not too bright, bless him 😂
Technically “no chemicals” would be false even if it was just normal air due to the definition of chemical being literally anything made of atoms of differing elements.
The point gets across perfectly fine without the need to be pedantic.
I prefer the version where they manifested from the aftermath of the War in Heaven.
Still tied the settings’ massive fuckup to the big war, kind of showing how the cataclysm of 60 million years ago sowed the seeds for what would become the Great Game and Horus Heresy.
Personally as much as I respect Fabius stance against them, I don’t think it’s objectively true so much as something he needs to believe to be true.
While they are naturally inclined to act in such ways as what empowers them which is in part based on the perception of them, the Horus Heresy showed that they could restrain themselves and act objectively when needed.
They are capable of reigning it in if it suits their purpose, they are also capable of whim and caprice. They have just enough wherewithal to act as they must when the Great Game is threatened but otherwise maintain their holding pattern of the Game.
Eldar and Necrons at their peak fought side by side against Chaos during the War in Heaven
@@christiandauz3742
What’s your point? I’m not saying that’s not the canon right now, I just said I prefer the one that came before it.
Secondly I dislike the idea of the Necrontyr and Aeldari having some kind of truce way back when, it spoils their ‘bitter ancient rivals’ dynamic in the present setting and shoehorns in Chaos into yet another plot point where it adds nothing. It’s already got the Horus Heresy and the last 10,000 years of the Long War/ Black Crusades and Great Rift to its credit, let the other threats have a background event to themselves.
Chaos being a reflection of a galaxy in strife for 60 million years because of the ancient races makes more sense than just saying it was always there.
@@rustkarl
Chaos is the main and most powerful antagonist in Fantasy/Age of Sigmar so why not 40k?
Could you do a video on the military forces of the Mechanicus/Mechanicum/Dark mechanicum, bitte
They are representations of:
Action/Activity.
Change/Ambition.
Passion/Satisfaction.
Life/Growth.
They are shaped by every sapient being with a sould!
Now pass those through the things through the minds of the average resident that has to suffer from,deal with, and participate in constant wars and genocides...
and VOILA
You get the chaos gods!
id still call the chaos gods lovecraftian/eldritch, in any other universe they would be unknowable horrors, its just in 40k that they are more..mild.
You actually understand what "Lovecraftian" means and I applaud you for that.
8:27 Viruses doesn't count as a lifeform but as "organisms at the edge of life".
The truth is that we don't even know what life is, there are so many definitions like tzeentch plans
Its funny how that kinda fits with Nurgles whole vibe though. Not alive, not dead, something inbetween
This is a debated topic which essentially boils down to the world not caring about how we try and classify it.
For Nurgle being so jolly, space hell Santa Clause, Typhus is kind of an asshole lol
6:33 the idea that the chaos gods literally act due to how sentient beings believe those concepts of emotions should work is an honestly really interesting. it honestly has some merit in other settings, namely warhammer fantasy. taal and rhya are two intertwined nature gods, but at one point they were only one god, with the worship of humans changing literally splitting them into two different faces/sides. if it can happen in that sense to lesser gods, i see no reason why it can't be scaled up
I deeply appreciate you embracing the fuckups.
0:24
" *F O H C K* "
FEAST UPON THE DELIGHTS OF THIS WORLD!!
0:17 - 0:26
Tzeentch is having fun with this guy
Your videos are always so deep and heartfelt! Thank you for your creativity and your ability to touch the hearts of your viewers!😼⛹️🍈
1:35 ah let's get into it
The new camera setup is incredible
I love chaos gods videos. Super cool
ATTEMPT 69: A video about, what if there were no loyalist elements in the traitor legions, this would also count for omegon and magnus. So there would be no need for the culling at isthvaan and weakening of the traitor forces. Giving the traitors a boost in numbers and cohesion, plus a lot of important named characters. it would be very intresting to see what all the effects would be on the possible succes of the heresy.
Major should make a video about Gork n Mork and how they are the bestest, strongest, n brutally cunning.
Give us a video ranking the chaos gods by who currently has the most power. I think your argument for khorne is good and I want more.
Psyker disciplines explained please. From all the factions
Grandpa Nurgle, the Garden tender, loves his creations, chill, always concucting plagues and diseases~ to be shared for everyone~
Very cool lighting change!
I prefer the non sentience angle. It makes them harder to predict or understand, and adds an element of terror to their being since the one thing you do know about them is that they will act according to their drives, and things like mercy and forgiveness will never be an option.
I would like to see a video of Major being the leader of each faction. See how he would run things, and how the galaxy would react.
Good job! You got it out!
With the reveal that the Emperor almost became a chaos god in the Horus Heresy, and the birth of such a being could have resulted in the destruction of Terra much like Slannesh did with the eldar homeworlds, i wonder if Slannesh could well have been a powerful eldar psyker that was tricked into becoming Slannesh, in a mistaken effort to save her race without having anyone to pull her back from the brink.
Nah, is way more consistent with the canon that was the huge ammount of cum&vore energy that birthed Slanesh
Now that is an interesting theory
i heard the changeling once put a nurgling on khorne his throne like a whoopee cushion. does this mean khorne actually leaves his throne to take a little stroll or take a dump? and speaking of dumps how the hell do astartes go to the toilet? make a video majorkill
and now a serious question: can a chaosgod respect a champion of another god? not bless him or so but just like damn i like his attitude. like imagine a follower of nurgle actually giving someone a quick painless dead in a 1v1. can he also draw the attention of khorne that way or is khorne like nope not my team screw him? and by that my next question is kan you also get blessing from maybe 2 gods? or are the only options all 4 or 1? would be cool to see a nurgle berserker or imagine how scary a slaneeshy sorcerer could be. the deprived acts would be nighmare fuel i think.
Really like the Chaos Gods as definitions of gods. They feel far more abstract and wide scopped then Mytholgoy gods that is close to been a powerful super human then a god.
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!!!
SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!
Yes inquisitor, these two right here.
ENGAGEMENT FOR THE ALGORITHM!!!
MILK FOR THE KHORNE FLAKES!
DRAIGO!!
draigo : YES
Go fatch Their SOUL
draigo : yes Father
5:50 Or in the case of Tzeentch, he's fucking himself over for the laughs. Tzeentch definitely has the best odds of winning outright if they didn't sabotage himself.
0:17 *DAMN*
Perfectly captures why emoting is important.
Certain sentences and words just come out slurred if the face is mute.
0:22 South park Jimmy moment.
There is a fifth one...
Also, I like that Timmy is slowly crawling back into the videos. If you keep him in reserve for the "achktually" folks, I think we can leave the spawn of nurgle in the videos. :P
A video on how things would change if the Chaos Gods were defined more by their positive traits than their negative ones would be kinda neat.
Either a singular Chaos God or all four of them (Five if you can put a positive spin on Malal)
Heck, even just choosing when this change happens would probably get a few videos if you break it up.
that was the best ''fuck my life get into it face halo''. 😆
That bad takes section made me laugh. Like actually laugh, not blow air through my nose.
I thought there was gonna be sick beat drop! On topic, I hope they have Slaanesh in the next Space Marine game...that would be awesome.
i love you manorkill
Majorkill bombing his video's monetization for the bit, love it
In my head they are most sentient, malicous and kunning. Makes them more interresting imo, but hey, each to their own.
Dude a custom Royal Rumble in a wrestling game, with the Chaos gods starting, would be sick
Majorkill be strokin' out.😂
Now you've finished all the heresy novels, can you please do a tier list on the performance of each of the Primarchs during the heresy?
Bro is on the grind lately
Khorne should have more disciplined units as he is a “war god” like the blood pact
It has them in fact, but its democratic enought to give its minions the chance of ascension via decapitation of their superiors.
700k! Let's get it
wait! you have does this video before Major. I could swear it.
Outer gods are only one type of God from Lovecraft’s cosmic horror. The scariest lovecrafty gods share the universe with us like Azeroth who dreams us into existence and should he wake everything will end..
Honestly, I really hope Vashtoor ascends to become a proper chaos god soon.
It would be great to have a logical, polite god who does not backstab everyone or smells like crap.
ive always wondered about the "awakening" of the various chaos gods. i know it doesnt make sense for that to the the time the chaos god itself woke in the warp, but what if it was when humanities collective souls were attractive enough for that chaos god. the tau didnt have a religious crusade period, or massive disease allowed to run rampant and kill, so what if those events "enriched" the souls of a species that survives them making them "awaken" that chaos god for their species. its also possible that "awakening" a chaos god is just when they decide to start fucking with your species, so of course pop pop nurgie would have existed WAY before the black plague, but the plague was his way of introducing himself.
I would like to see more of Gork and Mork in the current setting.
Majorkill: No cursing in the first minute of the video for monetization purposes.
Also Majorkill: "Fuck!" in the first minute. lol
Thought I was having a seizure at the beginning til I realized you posted the bloopers at the beginning 😂
I need a Majorkill "speechnt" compilation.
Hello Majorkill,
Would you kindly make some lore videos on the Imperial Truth, the Imperial Creed, the Ecclesiarchy? Pretty please? Thank you.
No. Shut up Lorgar
do an outtakes vid, that was funny!
Top 10 Imperial Warmasters pls.
I’ve never been so fuckin hype to see a mistake take in a video. Majors had fun making this one
My ship: tzeentch x slaanesh
would really give the term "Crazy s3x" a new meaning🤣
ORKTOBER, AN YA TALKIN’ BOUT DA WIERD BIGGUNZ’. STEAD OF GORK N’ MORK!!!
Ive said before but video idea:
What if the traitor primarchs fell to different gods?
Angron to nurgle, perturabo to tzeentch, Lorgar to slaneesh etc.
Could a different god better suite a different primarch and which would just be funny? Lol
🤔I could've sworn you created a video about this topic before Major.
First 30 seconds made me laugh af lol
I personally always justified the old lore explanation less as humanity birthing them and more like the birth of eye of terror, their birth scream or whatever caused problems based on which was born.
Nor are they these
Damn duder... Thats a tricky line 🤣
Grandfather nurgle loves us
For deamon dommy mommy
Yeahh!!!
So Chaos Gods are eternal, but still do have 'Birth Dates', i.e. Slaanesh was born in 30k, but it's armies were present during the War In Heaven long before that.
Does this mean that some of the other gods also have birthdays in the future?
The Emperor almost became a chaos god (The Dark King) during his duel with Horus, but that timeline was averted, causing his demons to be removed retroactively. Could the same be done for the other gods?
Listening to this while assembling my Introductory Set. Maybe I'll order skin cream next. The Emperor provides!
No-no Great Horned Rat? This is heresy-bullshit. Great Horned Rat Best God yes-yes.
Day 6 asking majorkill to explain the warp an it's physical attributes like are there planet's in the warp or is it 1 major mass with the chaos gods having there own land
Video at 1:44
Titsneech touched your tongue at the beginning of the video lmao
Looking healthy mate
Not a single mention of Nuffle, the most important and powerful chaos god.
