A true IDGAF Chad. Shot Fulgrim in the face, vibe checked Lucius and Fabius while pulling a Creed calling in a dreadnought when it looked like Bile's crew would win in the Iron Hand's apothecarion.
My personal canon is that after Magna Mater was reclaimed by Loyalists, Nykona was reunited with his Primarch and Legion, before beginning his own hunt for the traitors, from the shadow and darkness, he would go on to do what he did best- dispense death to the traitors. His glories may be forgotten and untold within the Imperium, but to this day, I believe that Traitors, from mere cultists to even Fulgrim himself, remember Sharrowkyn, and the one emotion he evokes from them, is the one that no Astartes must know- fear. Nykona Sharrowkyn, the greatest unsung Raven Guard and the man that even immortal and depraved fear. Victorus aut Mortis!
My head Canon is that he was picked up along with Magna Mater, and was put on ice and only periodically awoken to facilitate the training of RG on Mars not unlike Branthan's fate; aging him, but also allowing him to survive 10k years to be in my fluffy army. :x
Or being discovered by Belisarius to then make the training regiment of the Primaris project helping to design the new tactics of the Astartes. Either surviving in stasis or becoming another mind in the Gestalt conscious of Belisarius Cawl.
@@attemptedunkindness3632 It would be neat if he aided Shrike in the reestablished Mor Deythan. Since he's among the most experienced Mor Deythan 10 millenia prior. Also a master hand to hand combatant he was able to use his jump pack to help him maneuver in close quarters.
Of all of the Raven Guard characters, Nykona Sharrowkyn is probably my favorite, followed closely by Kayvaan Shrike. He has a pretty hefty number of feats, even for a Space Marine and especially one that hails from the XIX Legion. Being the first to almost kill Fulgrim, the first to successfully kill Lucius, and the one to save the Magna Marta, this Astartes is a legend among the Raven Guard. He deserves more recognition for his deeds
For those that are saying that Nykona is too overpowered. That's half of the main characters of the Horus heresy who have a lot of plot armor. So give him and the Raven guard a break. How many people can even name more than three ravengard characters.
@@VAMPZDJ unfortunately not officially. Playing as Raven Guard is like being the unwanted child. Mama GamesWorkshop won't give you anything fun to play with unit wise in 40K that older brother legions such as Dark Angels don't already have, and Daddy tournament players won't play you even once so there's no economical gain to give you anything chapter specific either for mama or any ideas on how to build up your squad for yourself. So your stuck watching others play as them on the Tube and lose because Raven Guard aren't flashy and are made for the long ardious battlles
Hands down vicious. Chapter Master Shrike, then 3rd Captain, kept his company behind on an Imperial World invaded by Orks and launched a 100yr sabotage campaign this is around 3rd-5th edition when I played
Thank You Brother, Nykona Sharrowkyn is my favourite of all the space marines, and finishing with him killing Lucius is the perfect way to end the video, once again Brother, thank you 😎
I had never heard of this character before this video. What a neat story. Best part is, that he might still be out there. I want more. Sharrowkyn would be a neat book to read.
It would be neat if it turns out he was among the first Raven Guard Primaris. After Cawl put him in ice. Also would be neat if he returned to the Raven Guard and aiding Shrike in recruiting the reestablished Mor Deythan.
Raven guard is not one of my favourite legions( or chapters) but the "Salt boy" Nykona deserves all of my respect for his combat skills, daring adventures and idomitable will to purge the traitors. Not so different than Corswain or Raldoron.
My favorite astartes. After Angel Exterminatus , it was official to me, Sharrowken is the deadliest Astartes. I think he would kill anyone in one on one combat.
I agree. The ease at which he shut Lucius down is indicative that the true best of the best turns out not to be one of duelists that everyone attributes with being the best and debate over who it truly is. Nope, the best was too humble to show off. Lucius didn't even know who he was. He even laughed in shock of how good sharrowkyn was and he didnt even know who he was. Sharrowkyn was the only astartes who was trained in melee combat by his primarch. No other primarch ever gave that kind of attention to his astartes. I'd like to believe that he is with Corax, searching for Russ in the Warp.
Why was Lucius touted as a good swordsman? He's been beaten by so many others. Yeah, sure, his devotion to Slanessh lets him respawn and all, but isn't Slannesh NOT happy that he losses so often?
Lucius was touted as a good swordsman due to his Legions' desire for perfection, every member of the legion would focus on one thing and hone it constantly. Lucius focused on his swordsmanship to the point where only Fulgrim is his peer. His blessing from Slaanesh is more of a curse if anything on Lucius's opponents; those who feel any positive sensation after killing him, even so much as a grin that they'll become Lucius.
@@sethclark6593 But that just makes it worse. Because if Lucius is second to Fulgrim in skill, and Lucius has been bested by SEVERAL talented swordsman who DIDN'T feel any pride when killing him, then is Fulgrim any good? Last I checked, he got schooled by Dorn, and all he did was bring a shield.
@@magnum32b Lucius is a deluded mf with bigger delusions of being the best swordsman hence a hefty dose of narcissism which is why The Entity of Excess backs hom
10:30 How many times does something in Warhammer need to "move faster than a mortal man should be able to move" before they accept that mortal men can move that fast lol. Swear to the emperor, the line is in every book at least once
The curse only works if the person who kills Lucius takes pride in it. Sharrowkyn looked at killing Lucius like he was putting down a rabid dog feeling no pride in the kill but as granting mercy
@@gagenelson8231 Also Lucius had not gained the curse yet. Until after Fabius revived him and Lucius pledged himself to Slaanesh. Though Slaanesh curse on him seems like a callback to how he died with his opponent taking no glory in his death.
If he killed Lucius doesn't that mean he would become Lucius eventually? Sadly, I think that was Nykona Sharrowkyn's tragic faith unless I have missed something
Nykona seeing you as just a mere dog simply being put down is absolutely savagery on a different level. And who else to say it better to than Lucius the Cheat. If there was anyone that gave off Grim Wreaper vibes then Corvus and his legion definitely does.
When our beloved Nottingham gang will bring Lucius back to action, they will bring Nykona as well because there is only one man who can beat the crap out of that arrogant bastard
This is why the Raven Guard need more exposure stories like this is just awesome. This dude was a BAMF also my first time hearing of this story thank you now it’s time to get this book
Right on- I’ve been building my Raven Guard Legion for the past 6-7 years. They really resonate with me, and it’s a shame that they are so overlooked and underrated. Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition though, or the underdog Raven Guard. 😆
This, unfortunately, shows how dumb the Astartes are. The UNQUESTIONABLE successes of this unsupported, deep penetration, covert operations SMU - the War Orphans - should've taught the chapters an invaluable lesson. Small units, and even entire chapters, should've been created that were purely fusions of multiple chapters, like this one, dedicated to special operations, and unconventional warfare. I can only hope Nykona Sharrowkyn is still alive, and successfully conducting operations from the Shadows, where he belongs. Great units like the Raven Guard need great heroes, like him, and I can only wonder what kind of oaths of moment this man was involved in. When Corvus Corax returns, these are the kinds of sons he should be greeted by, to show him it was all worth it.
While I do understand that you are referring too the heresy timeframe and not the latter 10'000 years, but they did create the deathwatch during the war of the beast about 1'500 years later, just you know...they only hunt xenos for some reason
Ironically Guilliman himself says the same thing in one of the more recent Indomitus era novels. He actually says its stupid that the legions were more or less one specialization instead of a mix from all the lineages allowing them to be all rounded military units. It would also probably have prevented the heresy from taking route so easily.
@@Belthusamel the Alpha Legion is no good at this, either. Like all other Astartes legions, they're homogeneous, one trick ponies, and have very little concept of true combined arms fighting. Combined Arms and real Special Operations our concepts that apparently died out, thousands of years ago in the Warhammer 40,000 timeline. These are lost arts to them, that they will never reclaim.
I am not a fan of space marines or the imperium at all. Literally a few hours ago though I finished reading Angel Exterminatus. Sharrowkin is an absolute badass. Even though he is imperium, he is one of my favourite characters in the entire 40k lore. GW needs to bring him back and give him his own novel.
Okay that was fucking amazing! The stories of the brothers that are just regular (compared to the semi-godlike Primarchs) are always an inspiration, cause they never do things "cleanly" or gracefuly when faced with their impossible tasks, but they don't give up and still try and complete them! This metal AF dude is inspiring!

I just wanted to add that I have been a Dark Angels fan since @ 1990. I started getting into the Raven Guard recently. But when I read the Angel Exterminatus I was hooked. His fighting skills are on another level. His pragmatism and general outlook ads to his character.
‘RANGE CONFIRMATION?’ ‘Five hundred and six metres.’ Sharrowkyn used the tip of his right thumb to minutely adjust the focus of his sight. The position he had selected was an optimum kill site, in line with prevailing winds to prevent projectile drift that would alter his shot’s trajectory. Thermo-auguries on his cooled rifle sheath measured the surrounding temperature and blinked a correction to compensate for what lift the warm air would impart to the large-bore steel needle. Likewise, the strength of the planet’s geomagnetic field factored into Sharrowkyn’s calculations when deciding upon the angle of his shot. In his mind’s eye, any conventional target was already dead. But a primarch was no conventional target. ‘As soon as I take this shot, we go,’ said Sharrowkyn. ‘We get out, and we get out fast. Even if l miss, you understand?’ ‘I understand,’ said Wayland. ‘Don’t worry, l won’t go charge in single-handed.’ Sharrowkyn sighted on his target’s skull, slowing his heart rate and letting his breathing even out as he applied the tiniest pressure to the trigger. Ready icons winked to life on his helm, a dotted line tracin the route his needle would take. Right through a primarch’s eye.
‘Taking the shot,’ he said. pp. 119-120 of ANGEL EXTERMINATUS by Graham McNeill
By far my favourite Astartes character, I'm hoping Black Library somehow brings him into the current lore, warp shenanigans or stasis or whatever, then he can give people lessons with the blade. He made Lucius look like me with a stick.
Can't believe I missed this. I've always seen most of the Raven guard as consummate professionals. For Nykonna killing Lucius and almost killing Fulgrim I am reminded of the words of the Emperor. "'Some men demand such pomp. They cannot accept the end of one era and the commencement of another without an occasion by which to mark it and give it meaning. Laurels must be given, honours and fair titles invented so that they may be bestowed upon favoured generals. Some men need recognition.' The shadows around the Emperor's throne deepened. But beneath the layers of obfuscation, deep within the myriad guises of that singularly unfathomable being, the Lion felt the Emperor behold His firstborn son. 'Some men,' the Emperor continued, 'do not."
We still have two more volumes coming out for the finale of the Siege of Terra. Perhaps Nykona’s story after hiding away will be addressed? He is still in the Sol system after all.
For a long time I've been looking for a video about Sharrowkyn. You've created a fantastic homage to him. I love how he made Lucious look inept at hand to hand/swordsmanship. It'd have been an amazing story if Sharrowkyn ever met up with and sparred Sigismund (friendly, of course!).
What a fantastic video Remembrancer. The war orphans were definitely part of some pf the greatest guerilla battles in the Horus Heresy. Iron father Sabik Wayland and Nykona Sharrowkyn will forever live in legend. Have a blessed day everyone! Thanks for the vid.
Sharrowkyn being in the vague spot of either being Mor Deythan for his marksmanship and shadow walk. Or being a Moritat for being an expert solo commando while showing his distinct cold blooded nature killing Lucius. Makes him all the whole mysterious but indeed fuels his reputation as a Legendary figure.
I love this character. As we say in Poland "na każdego kozaka znajdzie się większy kozak" what means "for every badass there will be a bigger badass" regarding fight against Lucius :) And i think he would be one of few which - if this duel will be in 40k when Lucius can reborn - who will prevent Lucius reborn in him, as he get no pride in killing Lucius. Just duty.
I like the idea of having an amalgamation of the legions. Each primarch leads a legion but it's gene stock is varied amongst all the brothers. I wonder how corax would have used world eaters or iron warriors and I wonder how fulgrim would have used raven guard. And it would have been harder for a while legion to band together in treachery since all have different stocks. Praise the emperor
Just one small thing Waylon said in that story that "Its my own design" for the storm eagle He altered it himself, so he couldnt have comendeered it. They even commented about hopefully the Mechanicus would pick up Waylons design
No brother Sharrowkin is one of few individuals to kill Lucius without inflicted by Slanesh curse. Because he not take pride of killing Lucius, because just like video said Sharrowkin only see Lucius as Rabid dog to be put down. Thus Slanesh curse not inflected to Sharrowkin. So why Lucius can survive after being killed by Sharrowkin ? Because after his death in the hand of Sharrowkin, Lucius was resuracted by Bael the Apothecary of Emperor Children Twice, because Sharrowkin kill Lucius Twice
It would have been so cool if the survivors of istvaan 5 eventually formed a chapter comprised of the 3 legions. Could create some great stories and a very unique and powerful chapter.
Is something wrong with the floor brother?
That was truly a great part of the story.
Thats my boy.
Playing the longest game of “The floor is lava.”
More like the floor is Nocturne
A true IDGAF Chad. Shot Fulgrim in the face, vibe checked Lucius and Fabius while pulling a Creed calling in a dreadnought when it looked like Bile's crew would win in the Iron Hand's apothecarion.
Vibe checked is putting it lightly
Totally embarrassed Lucius like he was a trash mob

Sharrowkyn sighted on his target’s skull, slowing his heart rate and letting his breathing even out as he applied the tiniest pressure to the trigger. Ready icons winked to life on his helm, a dotted line tracin the route his needle would take.
Right through a primarch’s eye.
‘Taking the shot,’ he said.

Is sharrowkyn still Mia as of this time ?
Sooo, why did not Sharrowkyn become lucious?

By far my favourite Astartes character, I'm hoping Black Library somehow brings him into the current lore, warp shenanigans or stasis or whatever, then he can give people lessons with the blade. He made Lucius look like me with a stick.
Another fantastic video! Well done.
Can't believe I missed this. I've always seen most of the Raven guard as consummate professionals. For Nykonna killing Lucius and almost killing Fulgrim I am reminded of the words of the Emperor. "'Some men demand such pomp. They cannot accept the end of one era and the commencement of another without an occasion by which to mark it and give it meaning. Laurels must be given, honours and fair titles invented so that they may be bestowed upon favoured generals. Some men need recognition.' The shadows around the Emperor's throne deepened. But beneath the layers of obfuscation, deep within the myriad guises of that singularly unfathomable being, the Lion felt the Emperor behold His firstborn son. 'Some men,' the Emperor continued, 'do not."
And why doesn’t this fella have a model at least? Must be because he’s not an Ultramarine or Space Wolf or Blood Angel.
We still have two more volumes coming out for the finale of the Siege of Terra. Perhaps Nykona’s story after hiding away will be addressed? He is still in the Sol system after all.
Amazing lore videos, thank you *The Remembrancer*, your dedication and hard work does not go unnoticed brother.
Fabius Bile, Cypher and some frw others are priority targets to be not simply killed but obliterated.
For a long time I've been looking for a video about Sharrowkyn. You've created a fantastic homage to him. I love how he made Lucious look inept at hand to hand/swordsmanship. It'd have been an amazing story if Sharrowkyn ever met up with and sparred Sigismund (friendly, of course!).
i would love the alternative story where Nykona ended up on terra and founds the assasinarium. teaching humans the art of stealth and shadowwalk.
What a fantastic video Remembrancer. The war orphans were definitely part of some pf the greatest guerilla battles in the Horus Heresy. Iron father Sabik Wayland and Nykona Sharrowkyn will forever live in legend. Have a blessed day everyone! Thanks for the vid.
He took no pleasure in Lucius' death. Lucky for him eh? lol
Is Aeonid theil on your list by any chance? He doesn't get enough love
Lucius get skill issue'd by Nykona
been waiting for this one. thanks so much my man. maybe my favorite moment in the whole heresy when he humbles that slag lucius
Do more of these you got the perfect voice for it :) maybe a bit longer but really enjoyed keep em coming
The War Orpahns badass order
Now that's a Chad right there
Finnaly my request lol
Barely even heard of the guy but what an absolute legend!
Wow now I need to read the book
A Beast. a Legend
More raven guard!
Boop the toad
Sharrowkyn being in the vague spot of either being Mor Deythan for his marksmanship and shadow walk. Or being a Moritat for being an expert solo commando while showing his distinct cold blooded nature killing Lucius. Makes him all the whole mysterious but indeed fuels his reputation as a Legendary figure.
He actually was Mor Devthan.
PLEASE

WHAT IS THE NAME OF THAT SONG
Space Marine - Hero's Legacy.
I love this character. As we say in Poland "na każdego kozaka znajdzie się większy kozak" what means "for every badass there will be a bigger badass" regarding fight against Lucius :)
And i think he would be one of few which - if this duel will be in 40k when Lucius can reborn - who will prevent Lucius reborn in him, as he get no pride in killing Lucius. Just duty.
🔥🖤🔥
I like the idea of having an amalgamation of the legions. Each primarch leads a legion but it's gene stock is varied amongst all the brothers. I wonder how corax would have used world eaters or iron warriors and I wonder how fulgrim would have used raven guard.
And it would have been harder for a while legion to band together in treachery since all have different stocks.
Praise the emperor
Imagine a Damned that can move and have all his skill set terrorize a warband of Chaos
Just one small thing
Waylon said in that story that "Its my own design" for the storm eagle
He altered it himself, so he couldnt have comendeered it.
They even commented about hopefully the Mechanicus would pick up Waylons design
A prized piece! Many thanx 👍👍
absolute goat
Man, I love Raven Guard.

Shouldn't he have been possessed by Lucius?
No brother Sharrowkin is one of few individuals to kill Lucius without inflicted by Slanesh curse. Because he not take pride of killing Lucius, because just like video said Sharrowkin only see Lucius as Rabid dog to be put down. Thus Slanesh curse not inflected to Sharrowkin. So why Lucius can survive after being killed by Sharrowkin ? Because after his death in the hand of Sharrowkin, Lucius was resuracted by Bael the Apothecary of Emperor Children Twice, because Sharrowkin kill Lucius Twice
interesting recap of the 40k wiki
It would have been so cool if the survivors of istvaan 5 eventually formed a chapter comprised of the 3 legions. Could create some great stories and a very unique and powerful chapter.
We are closer than you think
