So I got the rucksack from one of your other videos, and I gotta say, I love it. Kinda wish it was bigger, as I am a broad, tall, and, well, fat guy, however the material, quality, and just look is awesome. Well worth the money imo. So thanks for letting me know about it!
the only downside of wearing an Imperial Aquila, is that it looks a LOT like another symbol of hatred....
great ring, unfortunate circumstances
As an 8th Legion Fan from the first chaos codex, I would have to agree that we are weird, but some of us can be hard to spot... 😂
“‘They’re in the walls’ energy” is the best description of the Night Lords I’ve ever heard.
Konrad on the Lion's Flagship : 😄
I wish I could post memes here because I have a perfect one for this
Could you post a link? I think that might be allowed. I could be wrong but worth a try right?
Because the part of our brain that liked shadow the hedgehog never truly went away

Night Lords are indeed all about that Stockholm Syndrome when it comes to their captives. Just ask Septimus and Octavia.
The Slave on the ship with Konrad too.
@@robertemerson1087 I wish konrad would've made that guy a permanent slave. I was sad that he let his sons torture him after arriving on tsagualsa after all that guy did for him
In their defense, Talos was WAY nicer to them than what is expected from a night lord
Because of their jetpack oriented combat, openly unapologetic dirty fighting and uncontained goblin energy. Also Sevatar surfed _a fucking Starfighter_ and dove through a window into a ship's bridge from said Starfighter. Like come on, not even the Khan did that kind of shit.
'Goblin Energy!' LMAO!!!!! Love it!
I work at the gas station... Night Lords have that crackhead courage and Kevins' attitude with strength to back it up.
what book was that? i can't remember
@@monkeyswithshoes308 Prince of Crows
@@monkeyswithshoes308 also I doublechecked, it wasn't a Thunderhawk, it was a Starfighter. Still...
Night Lords are interesting because they kind of really suck at the actual job of being a space marine. Like, the way they operate, why even bother making most of them supersoldiers?
Except Sevatar; It's almost like 95% of the legion's actual martial skill got crammed into him and him alone.
Definitely a combination of Night Lord battle doctrine, Gendor Skraivok deliberately recruiting kids who have no business becoming Space Marines, and Konrad inability/unwillingness to fix things.
If Night Lords were fighting the kind of battles the others legions were doing at the time (massive wars against mighty empires), I feel a lot of those inferior Marines would have been filtered out. You don't need to be superhuman in order to brutalize a bunch of terrified human civvies, but it definitely helps.
Isn’t it said that most night lords are just criminals there’s barely any that are actual soldiers
I disagree the night lords had a role to play, they make amazing enforcers one of the only legions that made worlds comply from just the word they were entering the system
@@UndaLupus I would give up if I saw any legion of space marines heading to my planet
@@Mkrause762yes but plenty of planets were willing to fight the legions. No world wanted to fight the Night Lords. Their name alone would make worlds surrender.
As a wise man once said
Warhammer 40k fanbase can be devided into 2
1. Night Lords fans
2. Those who didnt read ADB's Night Lords trilogy
I read ADB's Night Lords trilogy. Great Books with interesting characters. And I still fucking hate the Night Lords. A character that is interesting and engaging doesn't make them any less despicable when they get off on torturing people to death. (Yes, I include Talos in that category. "Lesson" my ass.)
I'm an asshole and I love them, adb wrote them and it reminded me of me and my friends sometimes. Not the genocide and murder, but the dark humor and rough housing. Also when we played online games we always tried to find an edge over our opponents even if it meant getting the ban hammer.
@@thomascullinan6319your right,.they are despicable, which makes them awesome (in a fictional setting ofc) they are in a grimdark setting and revel in that. I still like the Word Bearers more (except Erebus because f that guy)
Great books. Fuck the Night Lords.
@@justicar5 The World Eaters revel in the grimdark setting. Hell, a lot of chapters do, even some of the loyalist ones. The Night Lords are just flat-out fucking gross and there is absolutely nothing awesome about them.
"I wanted to be a hero. Look how that turned out."
My wife was asked by a GW rep over from Nottingham for DragonCon, "Why Night Lords?"
She was towering over him, 5'10 before the six inch heels, spilling out of a black leather corset. She wanted a VIII Legion t-shirt and they were out.
She leaned over, stared him in the eye, and sneered, "Because Konrad Curze was an unappreciated genius who did nothing wrong."
The poor guy nearly passed out.
This dude Won life I’m convinced
r/thathappened
Shut up or make up a story less pathetic
Because we know we’re assholes and we don’t pretend we’re not
Ave Dominus Nox brother!
No wonder Arch likes them. 😂
I'm bad and I love it.
Hey at least they’re honest unlike some other legions.🐱
Other legions claim they have virtues like courage, honor, strength, and dignity. The Night Lords have integrity and that’s all they need.
Ah yes, the Night Lords fan. You often smell this creature before you see him. The faint scent of ammonia and Hot Topic is unmistakable
My wife, who I mention in my comment, DID work at Hot Topic on Saturdays just for the employee discount. She supervised a hospital lab for her day job.
.... as a nightlords fangirl I cannot deny this hot topic accusation
Night Lords fans are the Cleveland Browns fans of 40K.
Just pictured Bricky with guy-liner
I like the Night Lords for the same reason I like Frank Horrigan. In an era where a lot of popular IPs are obsessed with trying to make sympathetic villains, it's cathartic to see unrepentant war criminals instead.
Also, like you said, they don't fight like space marines and, funny enough, despite being the most brutal chapter, they probably killed the least. Instead of warring with entire planets, they scare planets into compliance.
In other words, them being evil doesn't unskin your wife and kids.
Night Lords is proof of how propaganda works when it's done well, and humanises the subject, even when it's about people who flay skin and torture people
Eldar are what happens when that propaganda sucks
One of my favorite things about the night lords is that they have an ego about themselves or at least some weird sense of honor. Like in First Heretic when they see the Gal Vorbak for the first time they're openly revulsed by them. Like "we play at being monsters, but you sick freaks actually became monsters"
Last time I was this early, Magnus hadn't done anything wrong yet.
And both eyes
That could be anywhen
I like Magnus, but he did EVERYTHING wrong.
That could be any point in time.
For me its for two reasons.
1. They're aesthetically awesome with the vamperic/slavic look, along with the lightning accents.
2. They are just fucked up in so many ways, particularly in being the 'masters of fear' yet are probably the biggest cowards of all space marines. Possibly of any faction even (like the Drukari).
Basically I love them for being baby bitch edge lords. Theyre a great Grimdark faction for such heinous crimes but have real character in sadness and wanted honour.
Night lord: BAAGH fear me mortal-
Gets sprayed by water
Night lord: sssssshhhhh
I appreciate night lords for being one the most interesting traitor legions, they were in a way the first traitor by destroying nostramo. As well as the fact that there the only legion with a primarch showing a mental illness/ mental decay
Man, you saying that Konrad is the only primarch mentally ill?
Like, Mortarion, Perturabo, Angron, Lorgar, Fulgrim, Lion and Ferrus?
I mean it's easier to name the primarchs that don't have glaring mental issues tbh.
If you guys haven't listened to the Night Lords omnibus audiobook version read by Andrew Wincott you should give it a listen. He gets the slavic accent of our beloved skitzo batboys just right. Oh and Talos' speech in the third book *chefs kiss*. Also apart from the Tenth company boys I love Kheron Ophion. That idea of the single brave soul in a legion of cowards hits home with me
I like how human they really are. You can see glimpses of how they could’ve been heroes with talos and sevatar. Also despite being cowards they produce some of the best fighters out there
For me personally, its because I also grew up toasted in the head, so finding one that had a sense of justice, even if an incredibly borked one (shoutout to CPTSD fight mode! A truly universal solution!) And yeah..... even the fact that he had an ideal he worked so hard for only to be fucked over by the Nostroman elite...
Well, the crazy bastard is very relatable
Night Lord's Paintscheme designed to torture you the painter. Metaterrorism.
I like the armour its really pleasing and unique, like dark angels with hooded helmets.
In my dirt-brain opinion, it's the characters and how well they've been written that draw the fans in to the Night Lords. And it's ironic in that those characters are often telling them, "We kinda suck.' But about two seconds after a self-hatred fueled soliloquy they prove your underdog point and do something badass and you just can't help but *like* them.
Absolutely digged the video, as always, and keep up the great work.
P.S. Your primach series is tier 1 stuff. I've shown your Dorn video as almost an essay on character study to a few different people
I turned traitor after reading the Night Lords book and some of the Night Lords HH short stories. It's also refreshing having a Traitor Legion that is not totally turbo fucked by Chaos corruption, and have some understandable (albeit not entirely agreeable) motives for turning traitor
New Night Lord's vid from guy that got me to read the trilogy? PREYSIGHT ACTIVATED
In the words of Jeff Foxworthy "you can only make fun of them if you are one, and I are one"
"Listen to you. 'The masters of fear'. You are cowards, like all cruel men."
- Raldoran of the Blood Angels, wasting his breath on some Night lord curr, after said Night Lord was pissing his pants when faced with an actual challenge and not some defenseless innocent.
Raldoran got lucky the Painted Counts demon blade stripped itself of its boons.
Everyone hates the painted count, even other nightlords.
@@cr1ms0n64 Only because he represents what they truly are and they cannot stand to look into the mirror.
the night lords sword who i think gave the bearer fighting prowess deactivated and fucked the night lord over because it respected raldo
@@YourStylesGeneric321 Yeah, because the demon blade recognized an actual warrior instead of the pathetic coward that held it.
I love my silly little bat boys and their silly little war crimes
I ain't ever been this early what the fuck
Yeah bro dang
Dang it
Obligatory "I heard the sound of bolter fire!!"
"Bolters barked"
I was moved by Talos's conviction, and impressed by both their effectiveness during The Crusade, as well as their underdog status as a traitor legion. For this reason I play them on the tabletop.
Edit: The Night Lords Chaos Lord in the Morvenn Vahl book is named Kol Rakul, The Death of Saints. His name in Nostroman likely means Cold and Cruel. It is also worth noting that titles among The Night Lords are either self-imposed, or ironic, so either Kol gave himself the title as he has some history with The Argent Shroud, or he has ran from every battle against The Sororitas lol.
AVE DOMINUS NOX!
I can say...because they are oddly one of the most human space marine legions. We can thank the trilogy really. It does give us a legion where we have a tragic nature to it. As we can look on Konrad, who just needed a hug.
The other legions needed daemons and gods to turn them evil, Night Lords just are. They were practically raised to be so. Yet, they are self-aware of it. They do not lie to themselves of their nature. And again, because of the trilogy, we can see that they are more than this. Be it Talos, Uzas, or even the warsage...there is simply humanity still within them that can be seen through the flayed skin and general horror, they are just large children that want to be loved by their mentally ill father.
It was heartbreaking when emperor said to kurze that he did farsee things in the future, but always CHOSED the bad paths... Kurze always saw only bad future for him and thought it was inevitable future to him..
"Death is nothing compared to vindication"
Personally I feel like part of the reason Night Lords are liked so much is because I feel like either consciousnessly or subconsciously a lot of people realize that if Space Marines ever became real they would most likely be like the Night Lords.
Like just think, if you took a child that was forced through barbaric trials by combat that kill 99% of grown men and gave them literal superhuman abilities and conditioning to where they basically only fully understand combat you're likely not gonna get the philosophical Blood Angels, reasonable Ultramarines, or caring Salamanders, you're probably gonna end up with the opportunistic, violence-driven, and power-obsessed Night Lords.
The nightlord fans that weird me out the most are the girl the are down bad for Konrad himself (I assume there are guys as well, I just have not meet them). Like what can you find sexy about a man who so meticulously sews together the flayed skin of his victims that he would probably hunt down specific worlds to get "just the right texture/color" for his quilt?
"...But I can fix him!"
I bet they wish they were Steven
Violent and dangerous men appeal to women lmao
It’s a fantasy of a dangerous man a powerful and in control confident man. A man who could and would rip the world apart for what he believes in. And what if that man… decides to love her and made an exception?
The appeal is basically what if this dangerous edgy well spoken and philosophical man decided I was special enough to not harm.
But that’s all just my best guess. You could try asking them yourself and see if you survive. 🙂😆
he is Drakula
I see my beloved dark angles “abandoning” an “important battle” to slay the *redacted* and the only copium I’m huffing is “for the Emperor”
We're the same people who like Postal we love our sociopaths
Please tell me you’re talking about the games, not the movie…
@@kingleech16Who the *fuck* would bring up an Uwe Boll film in a positive light and expect people to agree?
Didn’t use the word “Scrungly” one time. 0/10 my Night Lord immersion is ruined.

Night lords are the guys holding the flaying knife and roasting you while they turn you into a cape of skin. The nobility of hive gangers and mercy of animals.
Night Lords are our little meow meow.
Is this a LRR CH reference?
Arthur roasts the night lords fan base for 10 or so minutes
Personally I just love their design.
Pure drip.
Ethics and moral are the luxury of the victorious.
Some times people like the heel faction. Personally, I like the "good guy" chapters like the Raven Guard. Beaks for life haters! lol
Holy shit, another beaky boi fan?

"The Night Lords are easily startled, but they'll be back... and in greater numbers."

Aaron Dembski Goddamn Bowden.
Did I post this before watching the video? Yes. Would I do it again? Also yes.
Because they see the setting of 40k for what it is - a lie and they laugh all the way during the slaughter
Night Lords are the “hold my beer” legion.
“What happened during your upbringing to cause you to turn out this way?”
“Nothing, I’m just evil.” - Nightlords probably
They have the coolest color scheme in the setting, don't @ me + I find them relatable in some personal aspects(not the edgy murder and torture is good shit) + being the thing that goes bump in the night is cool as fuck.
I'm not a huge night lords fan per say, but they do interest me.
Blood Angels were my first army so there is bias in what i say. But the thing I came to love about the Blood Angels is how they choose to rise above their lesser instincts. To choose to struggle against the temptation to give in, and to win through force of will.
The night lords interest me as they feel like an opposite, where they blood angels are optimistic the night lords are pessimistic.
How Konrad and Sanguinis viewed their foresight shows is most succinctly.
Their contrast is far more interesting to me compared to say the world eaters / angron and the blood angels / Sanguinis.
Neat point. I do hate that it seems that Blood Angels often get used as “generic dickhead marines who get cacked” in a lot of non Blood Angel stories since they are an interesting chapter to me.
Heh, ADB made people like Night Lords with his Omnibus) Talos was a baddie but with goals, and every other significant character in this series was nicely presented. I really like second book, when Talos decides to hop on former NL's battleship and Huron and his warband portrayed as absolute chaos degenerates (shit and blood everywhere, fully corrupted navigator). Even Exalted was not a totally chaos depraved demon-monster until the very end
As a trans fan gotta say you including enbies in the group at the start was so real of you actually finding a normal 40k content creator can be a nightmare or as normal as a fan of team baby skinners can be anyway but I digress since Curze was just a little baby boy and he obviously did no wrong
Like most Night Lords, I may be a villain, but I'm not a monster

i’m not a huge fan of the night lords. but i am a huge fan of arthur talking about the night lords
4:30 Listen man I look at The Wrath cannibalize the remnants of a battlefield, using the corpse bits for all kinds of things, and I go "Hell yeah I love these living blenders."
I always had the idea of a Nightlord Warband going on killing sprees on Imperial Worlds as the idea of mercy kills. They slaughter the people because they know the dream the Emperor had is dead and the people are the reason for it. They wish not the people to live in Imperium as the dream is dead.
Kurze got the short end of the stick on nearly everything. But he's also nuts
As a Carcharodons fan reading Red Tithe really made me like the Night Lords
Two main factors for me personally: The Night Lords Trilogy is some of the best literature in the Black Library.
And secondly and maybe even more important is the aesthetics, those fuckers might be clad in midnight, but they are also clad in the finest drip.
I like the skull faces on the helmets, plus terror tactics are both fun and funny, and screw the chaos gods
Because they got cool helmets, and I love being comedicly evil.
We were made to be monsters, embrace it!
Don’t forget the core material for the background; Heart of Darkness by Victor Hugo (and the basis for Apocalypse Now).
Great video as always. Please do one for us Word Bearers fans. Argel Tal and Kharn are bros for life.
Joseph Joestar's genes somehow made it in to the Nightlords considering they all like running away.
The idea of a NL atrocity being described as hot girl summer makes me smile in a totally natural way.
"Some blackened pride still burns inside this bloody shell of treason." Great vid! Subbed!
I love how the one Night Lord that actually fights honourably and even went out of his way to get into a fight to avenge his ride, is called "The Coward" and openly mocked by a bunch of twits terrified of being out numbered by civilians.
Answer before watching:
1. Primarch was right about everything, and has an end to his story.
2. God-tier writing on the omnibus, you can't dislike the Night Lords after reading it.
3. By far most humane and ethical Legion (during crusade)
4. Insanely high non chaos/non corrupted (aside from raptors) possibly reunited warband/legion under Decimus if it ever came to fruition.
5. Sevatar
Always wanted to read the nightlords omnibus. This may have pushed me to it...
Also please for the fourteenth iteration of my requests please make a red scorpions video.
"The Night Lords committed a war crime!"
"Lol. Yep."
Dark blue with lightning looks dope as hell...nothing more nothing less
"Time to hide", double meaning? If the Night Lords are around theres sure some flaying coming around.
The same reason kids like Apple Jacks, we just do. The excellent trilogy by ADB definitely helps too. The bitchin spooky aesthetic, unusual method of warfare, they’re just pimpin.
I like em because awesome war cry “Ave dominus nox!”, some of the coolest power armor in 40K and when they are humanized in books and stories they are awesome… WE HAVE COME FOR YOU!!!
The Talos speech goes so god damn hard
Because the Night lords have some heavy 💧 and their Primarch is interesting, insane, but interesting.
I enjoyed this, and feel you didn’t need to restate your love for nightlords so much.
Another good Night Lords book is Lord Of The Night and not many seem to have read it.
I like that compared to basically everyone else they are the most pathetic out of all the demigods that even when they had a 4-1 advantage they lost to the angels sanguin who are one of the weaker chapters out there . So it’s fun to see them flail around like big boys only to run into a Mack truck going straight towards them at 80 mph then as they are in the ground still twitching and groaning in pain they try to act like the big dog again.
The Night Lords Trilogy novels, them being prolly the best Chaos books. That's all.
Nothing is wrong with liking edgy things, part of being a kid and more and more of us stay life-long kids. Just accept yourselves and be comfortable with yourselves, that's it! 😄
-A fan of World Eaters and Iron Warriors 😘
More Night Lords content? Hell yes. And it’s all accurate. As a long time night lord fan I can confirm I’m a huge weirdo.
11:20 so they're like the White scars but Traitor.
(In the sense that lore youtubers love them but no one really paints them)
As an imperial fist fan when they commit an atrocity I just say "based"
Because they can fight but why? Ain't nobody got time for dat, wait till night
While I don’t like Night Lords in the slightest and my immediate thought to see Night Lords is "ew Night Lords," I have a friend who absolutely loves them for the reasons that they suck.
He loves that they're a bunch cowardly assholes who would rather run away from a fight with the Imperial Guard to go butcher that orphanage over there. The fact that they are so anathema to what it means to be a Space Marine is what makes them interesting. And I can get that. Won't change my opinion of them but I understand.
Let me take a crack at it as an outsider. Konrad Curze, from the summary videos I remember addressing him, seems like Batman if the joker's, "We're not so different." motif was right. And now there are a bunch of 'mini' corrupted batmen running around the galaxy doing "hot girl shit".
Despite my favourite legion being the salamanders, I can definitely see and get why people love the Nightlords
I like them because they were the only legion to both have their primarch hate them and have that feeling be mutual. They were never shown any love, respect, decency, or honor and now they are incapable of showing those things.
Nightlords do the shit that chaos likes while also hating chaos. They have no real plans on making things better, they want these huge ideas to come to pass, they are both violent and depraved, but never on behalf of someone else. Nightlords exists purely for nightlords and and really don't care what people say about how underhanded and evil they are.
They know exactly what they are and don't bother to lie to themselves about it, and characters like that are decently uncommon in the universe where every single faction has some sob story to justify using lobotomized slave cyborgs as a punch clock
The Night Lords: because even in the Grimdark future- no, especially in the Grimdark future, there must always be Goths
Holy crap! The pet play comments are so real! I didn't think about that when I was reading it 😂😂
oh boy I sure do love having skin
Nightlords: AaaHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Because they are savages. Also they are just cool, can't explain why.
The honest legion. Did exactly what was asked of them
What if a person's three favorite sets of space marines are 1) Word Bearers 2) Night Lords 3) Alpha Legion, with rankings there shifting all the time?
