It should be noted that all the Space Marine Legions in Bricky's video are "First Founding" Chapters (that is, they predate the Horus Heresy). There have been _at least_ 25 other Foundings since the Horus Heresy in which new Space Marine Chapters were created, usually by dividing the excess manpower from the Legions of the previous Founding. The Black Templars (not to be confused with the Dark Templars), for example, were a Chapter from the Second Founding (31st millennium), and were considered successors to the Imperial Fists. Among the Latest is the Ultima Founding, which happened in the wake of the Fall of Cadia. One of the biggest mysteries is what happened to Legions II and XI to see them removed from the list of Space Marine Legions, especially since the Traitor Legions are still on it. The _Horus Heresy_ novels offer hints that they may have gone renegade before the Heresy, had unacceptable genetic deviations, been destroyed by the Space Wolves, and/or disbanded and absorbed into the Ultramarines, but there is no definitive answer. Whatever the case, all records of their existence were erased.
And Kirren is correct there is a 30k version of the boardgame which takes place during the Horus Heresy. The 40k and kill team games take place in current lore.
AVE DOMINUS NOX!! Night lords are in my top factions. I highly recommend the Night Lords Trilogy by Aaron Dembski-Bowden for more on the Night Lords. All the legionnaires have unique armor because they have to steal it from Space Marines they have killed. Surprisingly Night Lords have the most uncorrupted Gene seed of the traitor legions. I’ll leave you with a quote from First Captain Sevatar “Because the Wolves kill cleanly, and we do not. They also kill quickly, and we have never done that, either. They fight, they win, and they stalk back to their ships with their tails held high. If they were ever ordered to destroy another Legion, they would do it by hurling warrior against warrior, seeking to grind their enemies down with the admirable delusions of the ‘noble savage’. If we were ever ordered to assault another Legion, we would virus bomb their recruitment worlds; slaughter their serfs and slaves; poison their gene-seed repositories and spend the next dozen decades watching them die slow, humiliating deaths. Night after night, raid after raid, we’d overwhelm stragglers from their fleets and bleach their skulls to hang from our armour, until none remained. But that isn’t the quick execution the Emperor needs, is it? The Wolves go for the throat. We go for the eyes. Then the tongue. Then the hands. Then the feet. Then we skin the crippled remains, and offer it up as an example to any still bearing witness. The Wolves were warriors before they became soldiers. We were murderers first, last, and always!”
Yeah, Night Lords are monsters, but at least they didn't forget who they were. 😎 Also, we don't know about the Alpha Legion's geneseed. In fact, we don't know a lot about them.
Just to say, I am also a Night Lord fan, and they are awesome. The whole they're cowards meme isn't a hundred percent true, though. They are just as skilled as other marines, if not more, so in some regards, they just prefer to fight dirty and never take a fight that would be fair. They can they just don't since picking on the weak is fun to them.
The nightlords arent vampires but they are inspired by Dracula and eastern european vampires. You'll have to look elsewhere for that. A thing you'll notice is that each legion shares or contrasts with their neighboring legions. For instance the white scars dont boast about their accomplishments while the next legion is constantly doing so, the emperors children are obsessed with outward perspectives on perfection while the next legion literally doesnt care about appearances and does anything out of spite
@@sookendestroy1 You are technically right. But drinking blood is the definition of Vampires. Even our real world vampire bats got their name because of it while normal bats don't drink blood. Otherwise it is just a pale human. I never heard something that got inspired by vampires but don't drink blood. And as I already mentioned, the Nightlords are inspired by Gargoyles.
I’d recommend WesHammers WH40K timeline video and his sisters of battle deep dive video. Also Brickys video on which army to start with in the tabletop game
Also 2 legions records were "expunged" from history. Anyone who dares think or try and found out is mind probed and lobotomized. Essentally it is just two spots for players to make their own custom legions and give them a number.
The 2nd and 11th legions were absobed by the Ultramarines and the Imperial fists. That's why the Ultramarines were the largest of the legions being over 250K strong during the Heresy.
they didnt say "we need less", they said "we need to split all of them up in smaller groups, so one corrupt chapter is max 1k marines that need to die". basically "divide and conqure" kinda thought
There are quite a few legions and chapters that are not compliant with the 1000 space marine limit. A legion is of the twenty primarchs, and after the Horus Heresy, a rule was made that no legion should be more than 1000 space marines, if that is exceeded, then a “successor chapter” will be formed and that will go to 1000. Each successor chapter is its own self-governing chapter of marines. Notably, there are the Black Templars, who are a successor chapter of the Imperial Fists and no one knows how many marines they have, but it seems there’s over 10,000 and growing. It’s basically on the honor system, as ya can’t really tell space marines anything.
There is right now a model of snake man Fullgrim. 42:37 I think Bricky is implying that the living conditions on Nostramo is SO terrible that so many people would un-alive themselves which somehow helps keep the population in check (aside from all the murders).
There’s a creator called Arbitor Ian who has does a video for each legion but they aren’t too long so it’ll make more manageable content. He also does and explainer as to the current story setting. You should check it out.
I'll try to do this for each Video to add on to any information and answer your questions, I'm not the biggest expert, but I do know enough to explain more about each legion, hopefully other people will add on or correct me if I get anything wrong. actually I put this forward as my application to join in with you guys to help you answer any questions you may have during the course of the video. First of all, the order of the Legions are pretty much the order the Primarch/Legion was created. also, during the Great Crusade (before the horus heresy) the Legions could have as many Space Marines they could have, they were just limited by their casualties and recruitment, the largest Legions during their time could have over a hundred thousand Marines. after the Horus Heresy, one of the Primarchs, Roboute Guilliman, put into effect the splitting of the Legions, so all of them were split up into "Chapters" of 1000 Marines, so the largest Legions had the most Successor Chapters, while others, who were so devastated by the Horus Heresy, barely had enough for 2 Chapters. but there are a lot of Non-Compliant Chapters that don't like the Rules Roboute created and so ignore the 1000 space marine limit. 1. Dark Angels - This is the Original Legion of Lion El'Jonson from which all other Legions are based on. they're not supposed to be specialists, and because the Emperor trusted their Primarch so much, they are the only legion that has access to technology and weaponry from the Dark Age of Technology. the reason they're so paranoid about people learning about the Fallen is because they're the one of the few legions (or maybe the only legion) that was split almost 50/50 Loyalist or Traitor, and so they're afraid people would find out about their shame. Caliban, the Legion's Homeworld, was destroyed by the war between the Loyalist Dark Angels and Traitor Dark Angels on the Planet, so their Chapter's main home base right now is on the largest piece of rock that came from Caliban, Lion El'Jonson's current status is that he is asleep deep within the Dark Angel's Homebase, only known to the most highest ranking Dark Angels, so he doesn't have a miniature for 40k yet, but rumors are circulating that he may come back soon and get a miniature. 2. Lost Legion - No One knows much about this legion and the other lost legion, but it's theorized that they might have sided with Xenos or got corrupted/brainwashed by Xenos. both Lost Legions were removed from all records, apparently to honor their memory, because whatever they did or happened to them was so terrible and may have not been their fault. memories of them were deliberately removed from the other Primarchs minds by the Emperor and his right hand man, Malcador. 3. Emperor's Children - The Perfectionists of Fulgrim. their primarch doesn't have a Miniature, but he is described in lore to be very snake like now with many hands. Fulgrim was so favored by the Emperor that he allowed the Legion to bear the Palatine Aquila, the Emperor's personal standard. unfortunately an incident with their geneseed, which allows legions to make more space marines, caused them to only have a fewer marines compared to the other Space Marine Legions, which lead them to emphasize on perfection, to get as few casualties as possible. the reason their Legion was corrupted was because of a Cursed blade that Fulgrim recovered during one of their wars that slowly corrupted him and his space marines. 4. Iron Warriors - The legion's insecurity comes directly from their father Perturabo, whose skill, abilities, and accomplishments were so ignored and abused that he came to resent everyone else. Perturabo grew up in a world named Olympia, where he had to perform months long sieges to capture each and every city on the planet, making him the siege master of all the Primarchs, if there's a heavily fortified Planet or city that won't budge, there is no other legion better suited for it than the Iron Warriors. honestly he wouldn't have been such a bad guy if people just gave him credit for what he did, because his legion was always given the WORST jobs imaginable, the most difficult and mind numbing sieges, were handled by his legion, and he did what he needed to get the job done. so yeah, it's pretty easy to understand whyhe and his legion sided with chaos, currently he also doesn't have a miniature, but lore does say that he is now a Daemon Primarch like the other Traitor Primarchs. Late into the Great Crusade, his home planet, Olympia rebelled against the imperium and during a state of frustration from everything in his life, he committed mass extermination and enslaved everyone he didn't kill, after committing this terrible deed, he was afraid the emperor wouldn't forgive him and when Horus, now a traitor, offered to help him fight against the imperium, Perturabo accepted. 5. White Scars - These are our speed bois, you asked how they were faster, I'm not exactly sure, but it might have something to do with their Geneseed from their Primarch, Jaghatai Khan. you see each Primarch's Geneseed grants special powers to his sons based on his own powers, so their geneseed might be specialized to help them become more agile and faster than other space marines. additionally, Jaghatai Khan's biggest accomplishments is his reasonable decision in the horus heresy, when the Heresy first broke out, he was confused by what was happening, so he weighed both sides, Chaos vs Imperium, and even though he hated Tyrants like the Emperor and had no love for the Emperor and his Empire, he saw that no good would come from chaos winning, so he sided with the Loyalists. He doesn't have a 40k mini as well, no one knows where he is as after the Horus Heresy, his home planet, Chogoris was raided by Dark Eldar and he chased the Dark Eldar into the Webway. He hasn't returned since and has been missing for almost 10 thousand years now. 6. Space Wolves - These wolf boys are the viking sons of Leman Russ. unfortunately their Geneseed has a flaw that causes some of them to degrade into Wulfen, werewolf like Space Marines. also, as the Emperor's Executioners, it is said that the 2 lost legions, after their transgressions, were destroyed by the Space Wolves. additionally, the eating enemies to gain memories aren't solely a space wolf Thing, all space marines can eat their enemy's brains to gain their memories. Leman's current status is that he is missing, due to him going into the Eye of Terror after the horus heresy for a number of reasons, like finding a cure to bring the emperor back to life, so he doesn't have a miniature yet. (also the "There are no Wolves on Fenris" thing comes from the fact that wolves are not native to Fenris, either hinting that they were brought by humans to Fenris, or the Wolves of Fenris are Humans that mutated into Wolves, thus resulting in their Geneseed flaw turning into wulfen.) 7. Imperial Fists - These are the Defensive Masters of Rogal Dorn. honestly they are kind of a bit bland being the stoic unmoving warriors like their Primarch, but their biggest things are how they lead the entire Imperium defense in the Horus Heresy, Leading the Blood Angels and the White Scars while the other Loyalists were too occupied and/or blocked off by the Traitors to help in the defense. The other Big thing they have as well are the most popular successor chapters, The Crimson Fists and the Black Templars, who were composed of the most recent recruits and the most aggressive soldiers of the Imperial Fists Legion respectively. they're so popular that they are two of the four successor chapters that weren't part of the original Legions that have rules included in the Space Marine rules for the table top. Currently Rogal Dorn is Missing in Action as he went missing after going against the first Black Crusade outnumbered, the only thing the loyalists found was his hand, so he doesn't have a miniature yet. 8. The Night Lords - The Fearmongers of Konrad Curze. Actually there's a large difference between the Original Night Lords vs the Night Lords post-Great Crusade. you see, all the Space Marine Legions started out with recruits from Holy Terra, but once the great crusade was underway, they had to resort to recruiting from other planets, usually the homeplanet of their Primarch. and the Original Night Lords were actually good people, they had a stable and reasonable sense of honor and justice, and eventually when they found Konrad Curze on the Crime-ridden world of Nostramo, where Konrad developed his twisted sense of justice, the recruits began to come from Nostramo, and they were good people, as it had become crime-free due to Konrad Curze's efforts at first, as everyone was scared shitless of him, and when he left to join the Great Crusade, that's where it went down hill because he wasn't threatening everyone with skin flaying anymore, and eventually gang members and murderers started getting recruited and this is where the horrible side of the Night Lords come from. Additionally, Konrad was actually prescient, he could see the future, and was constantly bombarded by visions of the future, like seeing his own death, the death of other primarchs, the fate of the emperor and even visions of the Horus Heresy. Ultimately he turned traitor because of his visions. Nostramo eventually become a crime-ridden hellhole again, and Konrad would blow up the planet (fulfilling one of his visions) and joining the Traitors, his current status is dead, as he was assassinated, and he never became a Daemon Primarch. and so he doesn't have a Mini. Well that was pretty much it, out of all of these, I like the Dark Angels and Emperor's Children the most, and the Space Wolves I like the Least. if you have corrections or questions just reply here, thanks for reading!
Wow awesome Thanks for that☺️ a few comments have talked about the split chapters which is interesting and with the geneseed being the reason for white scars speed ability but we may talk about it in another video.. we may do top 3 or 5 space marine legions? And just have a talk about them☺️🦀
So the two Lost Primarchs and their Legions are two things. 1. They are a deliberate mystery. The original idea is that there would be two unknown Legions with unknown Primarchs that could be filled in at any time. Games Workshop never settled on anything, so they cemented in lore that these Primarchs and their Legions would be expunged from history and would never be discussed openly, only hinted at, which has added to the mystique and intrigue surrounding them. 2. They're placeholders. A commonly accepted idea in the community, although never officially recognized by GW, is that the 2 Lost Legions are placeholders for people's homebrewed Space Marine armies, and that one would be a placeholder for Loyalist Marines and the other would be for Traitor/Chaos Marines.
The 2nd and 11th Legions were supposed to be fan-created legions. However, that would be in conflict with the canon lore, so they were retconned into they did something bad and then the Emperor erased them entirely. There are multiple theories on what those legions are. For me, one of my theories is that one of the two legions were the all-female space marines who tried to bypass their modifications in order to procreate (because space marines can't have sex, essentially rendered infertile due to their modifications placed upon them). Emperor didn't like that and just wiped them out.
One theory I've heard that the 2nd and 11th legion did something so heinous, so disgustingly evil, that the Inquisition and I think the Space Wolves went out of their way erased any and all knowledge of them. I can't remember all the details.
I'm pretty sure White Scars are not Sonic the Hedgehog or anything. Really, before the Khan was found, the legion was pretty vanilla. But their combat doctrine makes it so they hit you so fast you can't react. Mainly, if they get in close on bikes the battle tends to be over because they'll just cause so much chaos they enemy won't know what the hell is going on. Plus they are so absurdly good at riding bikes, they can pull off maneuvers that make them fair more effective on them than off. Like, they will have full swordfights mounted on bikes complete with footwork somehow. To make it more crazy, a Captain White Scar took out a bomber on his bike by jumping off a ramp and getting enough height to drive his wheel into the cockpit of the flyer. But unfortunately, there isn't a lot of material on them. Them and the Salamanders don't have a lot of good books to shine in although the Scars, recently got 2 or 3 great ones.
I thought that the order of the legions came from their initial creation back on earth before they were called space marines. The Salamanders were called the 18th during the unification wars against the techno-barbarians, and they are the 18th legion so I always thought that the 20 legions were at first the thunder warrior legions that eventually became more distinct and eventually got gene seeds from the primarchs once they were found.
Imagine being so confident in say your attack where it’s like blitz krieg where every dais going really well, the enemy is falling back BAAMM SPACE MARINES CHARGING UP YOUR FLANKS ALL THE WHILE FIGHTERS AND ATTACK CRAFT STREAK ABOVE YOUR HEAD MOWING DOWN WAVE UPON WAVE OF YOUR TROOPS.
Also to add something to what pepper said: Legions got 'reduced' to chapters....the Number of Marines is roughly the same, but spread over more chapters (~ 1000 Chapters with ~1000 Marines each; in the past 10 loyal Legions with ~100.000Marines each)
That’s chapters legions could poses anything and anywhere up to ten thousand active marines barring specialists like drivers, engineers, pilots and the like ten thousand active foot soldier to anywhere up to a million strong, so considering the power of only a thousand marines let alone the fact that most battles would only consist of one or two squads of marines for an entire campaign the level of destruction is unimaginable, especially when you consider the fact that they had access to more advanced and more efficient and destructive war gear like vulkite weapons which are as common as finding a diamond or gold, ie they are super rare in 40K but during the crusade they were basically the standard issued weapons for the marines as well as the solar auxilia/ the imperial army (not to be confused with the later imperial guard) where your average soldier had access to death rats similar to the ones from mars attacks where it vaporizes the target and anything in the general area, not to mention that the titan legions and knight houses hasn’t sit yet so whilst a single titan legion might be sent to a single world like Armageddon in which a hundred titans would be deployed, during the crusade a single titan legion would be able to outfit over a thousand titans on a single world if needed, all the while knights were far far more common, all the while the lasgun he guns everyone laughs at was twice as powerful during the crusade and was the standard issued weapon for the average human, it would be akin to giving an entire army with fully automatic sniper rifles and whilst the modern lasgun is no pushover, the modern lasgun isn’t as powerful as what they used during the crusade where it was capable of actually penetrating space marine power armor it was that powerful, however due to its higher power and higher temperatures, the 30k lasgun was too complicated and too costly to manufacture and after the heresy, many guard regiments favored a much weaker but much more durable and easier to produce patterns, where it’s akin to the M14 during Vietnam where yes the added firepower was nice but practicality and reliability wise the M14 was a nightmare vs the much smaller, lighter and compact m16.
The 2 missing legions in lore have been erased form history for an unknown reason. What it was actually done for was so the player can create their own legion with their own unique color schemes
The legions where split into chapters of 1000 Marines after the heresy. The marines in each chapter serve iin 10 companies of 100 marines. These companies are numbered 1 to 10/ The first company is made up of the moat exprienced veteran marones. The 10th company is made up mostly of boys going through the implantation of the the organs and training these act as scouts and are lead by a full marine officer who acts as a captain and several full marine sergeants who train them. Some chapters have deviations from this. The Dark Angels have two veteran cimonies instead of one. The first company is the death wing. They are all armoured in Terminator armour, which is more powerful than basic standard Marine power armour. The 2nd company is known as the Ravenwing, they are a mobility troop. They specialise in vehuckes like combat motorcycles x land speeders, and fighter planes. Both of these companies have a specify role in hunting the Fallen, the members of the legion that Bricks mentioned fell to chaos. The regular marines (the non officers) of the 3rd to 19th company do. Know about the fallen and only n learn about the shame of the Legion upon being promoted to the first or second company. Each chapter also has a number of specialist roles outside Q the Marines in the comoany. These are Chaolains, who are the keepers of the chapters traditions and I'm charge of discipline. Linrarians, who are the puscjic members of the chaoter, Apothecaries, who are the medics, and Tech Marines -who take care of the weapons and armour, and vehicles. Every chapter is lead by a Chapter Master though some chapters use a different title fornit m examples the Dark Angels chapter Master is called the Supreme Grand Master, rhe Blood Angels Chapter Master is Lord Commander, the Space Wolves Chapter Master is called the Great Wolf and the Black Temolaes Chapter Master is the High Marshal.
Yeah so with the Legions that remained loyal, after the Horus Heresy when they limited the number each legion could have, the legions split up with one segment maintaining the original legion name, and other chapters claiming heritage to the founding chapter while adopting new names and paint schemes. Not every chapter is completely Codex compliant, like the Black Templars, when the Imperial Fists got split up one of the chapters was the Black Templars and they took the insinuation that not being super enthusiastic about the Codex rules meant they were less loyal very personally, and have been on an active crusade ever since for ten thousand years, setting up chapter recruitment bases on each would they conquer. Actual game wise having so many chapters means Space Marine players can create their own chapters and fit them in lore wise. My headcannon with the lost legions is that they were traitor, but the Imperium destroyed them and therefore the records were expunged. The Imperium would want to destroy the records of the other traitor legions but since they still exist and actively are a threat the knowledge of their existence and the whipping of religious fervour that comes with pointing to them as the traitors to kill is beneficial, once they're destroyed then knowledge of them and what they did has no benefit and only exists as a threat to the Imperium inspiring others who may turn to Chaos.
Not gonna lie didn’t think someone so new would get into a deep fandom idea for mixing geneseed which if you want to know more there’s stuff like space sharks and the badab wars
Btw every space marine can gain knowledge from eating corpses, but it is more prolific in the Space Wolves and Blood Angels chapters. The Space Wolves are savage vikings that hate magic but love wolves. While the Blood Angels are blood thirsty vampire Catholics who also are angels with crippling Vietnam flashbacks.
Lorewise the 2nd and 9th legions were expunged from the Imperial Histories. Gamewise, they were GW allowing players to make their own astartes and chaos marine faction up instead of using one of the named legions.
I mean the guys are right caliban already being destroyed was pretty common knowledge before the writing of the horus heresy books, every single space marine chapter list in every space marine codex since like 2nd edition has had caliban listed as destroyed and the dark angels codex has pretty much always had the lore on it and they got their first codex in 2nd Edition, the main major plot points of the horus heresy existed before the books scattered across rule books and codex books the heresy books just bring it all together and fill in the details
Don't put too much faith in the title "Emperor's executioners" although bricky will not bring up this fact, but once you guys learn about alpha legion, i will tell about that time during the horus heresy where the space wolfs and Leman almost got extinct. :^)
Normal means of subjugation would be if a world refuses to comply, send down a couple of marines to show how powerful you are, if a world still refuses then either breath them into submission via a prolonged war or a few shots from orbit and that’s about it, if not then there’s two other options First option (if a world is heavily fortified like a planet wide castle, then you send in the iron warriors to crush any and all resistance until compliance is made or until there isn’t a structure left standing or a lifeform left living. Second option ( why waste the lives of hundred marines when two Marines with a scalpel and a planetary leader could be far far more effective, think of them as say the taliban or the IRA where things like terror ism, mass executions, public displays, imagine if say the nuclear launch codes for the entire United States weapons were all leaked to china, going china full control over American nuclear weapons, or imagine the reaction if news about say joe Biden was actually sending aid to Ukraine in order to get the Ukrainians to become a puppet state in which they are forced to pay back America all the while funding the Russians by giving them money to fund their invasion of Ukraine, that’s what the nightlords do they are basically the Illuminati where they control or manipulate a world without them realizing or just don’t care and decide to say fuck it next day all of your senators would be skinned alive and then crucified all the while their skins are tied at the top of flag poles for all to see. That’s how messed up they are and sometimes they’ll just do it for fun
It’s like say a country that was run by a dictatorship being converted into a democracy like the Middle East where small groups of individuals had insane levels of power and so was much easier to control and maintain authority, however after gedafi many branches and sub branches had to be created to share and disperse the amount of power so that say the Secretary General doesn’t have complete or a majority control over the army to prevent a revolution and so you have the head of the army, which is give less power and is then given to many other branches much like the US s senate
Spoilers alert the Black Templar video is fake. I would love a breakdown of everybody's top 5 at the end of part 2. What Bryce refers to with the reduction of space marine numbers is the establishment of the Codex Astartes. This limited each Successor Chapter of Space Marines to only number 1,000, but any number of Successor chapters can be spawned from a Primarchs Geneseed. So Guilliman may have 200,000 Ultramarines during the Heresy, but afterward he had 1,000 man sub chapters like the Emperors Spears. Blood Angels also has the Flesh Tearers for example.
Instead of interrupting the intros to each one in the middle and starting them up again in the middle, you can back up a couple seconds each time you start to get the impact of the joke.
So, to explain the furry bullshit, the Space Wolves have a problem with their gene-seed. A lot of the Primarchs had animal DNA spliced into them to give them extra superhuman abilities. In the case of Leman Russ, he got a lot of canine DNA, and this is expressed as something called the Canis Helix. This causes the wolfish traits associated with the Space Wolves, namely their hairy bodies, pronounced canines, and enhanced sense of smell, to be expressed so commonly that it's considered a way of distinguishing the Space Wolves from the other Legions, and in the event of a severe mutation, these traits are expressed even more in the form of the Wulfen, which are essentially Space Marine werewolves. This transformation into Wulfen usually happens during a Space Wolf's early development, and they are essentially left to wander Fenris until the Space Wolves need them as berserk shock troops, but the Curse of the Wulfen does occasionally manifest in much older Space Marines, although this is extremely rare.
Oooohh! I love your warhammer stuff guys! I hope you keep making more, I'm always so hyped to see people get into the lore! If I could recommend something to react to, as a big Necron Fan, you could watch the Deep Dive into their lore here: th-cam.com/video/amABMswKdXc/w-d-xo.html
Oculus imperia's videos on the legions go into the lore around their number. They are very much the order the legions were created in. edit: lol how do you play 40k and don't know how chapters work. Lol nevermind he knows just enough to confuse yall
It should be noted that all the Space Marine Legions in Bricky's video are "First Founding" Chapters (that is, they predate the Horus Heresy). There have been _at least_ 25 other Foundings since the Horus Heresy in which new Space Marine Chapters were created, usually by dividing the excess manpower from the Legions of the previous Founding. The Black Templars (not to be confused with the Dark Templars), for example, were a Chapter from the Second Founding (31st millennium), and were considered successors to the Imperial Fists. Among the Latest is the Ultima Founding, which happened in the wake of the Fall of Cadia.
One of the biggest mysteries is what happened to Legions II and XI to see them removed from the list of Space Marine Legions, especially since the Traitor Legions are still on it. The _Horus Heresy_ novels offer hints that they may have gone renegade before the Heresy, had unacceptable genetic deviations, been destroyed by the Space Wolves, and/or disbanded and absorbed into the Ultramarines, but there is no definitive answer. Whatever the case, all records of their existence were erased.
"WELL, I GOT A NEW FAVORITE!" line had me rolling hahaha!!!
And Kirren is correct there is a 30k version of the boardgame which takes place during the Horus Heresy. The 40k and kill team games take place in current lore.
AVE DOMINUS NOX!! Night lords are in my top factions. I highly recommend the Night Lords Trilogy by Aaron Dembski-Bowden for more on the Night Lords. All the legionnaires have unique armor because they have to steal it from Space Marines they have killed. Surprisingly Night Lords have the most uncorrupted Gene seed of the traitor legions. I’ll leave you with a quote from First Captain Sevatar “Because the Wolves kill cleanly, and we do not. They also kill quickly, and we have never done that, either. They fight, they win, and they stalk back to their ships with their tails held high. If they were ever ordered to destroy another Legion, they would do it by hurling warrior against warrior, seeking to grind their enemies down with the admirable delusions of the ‘noble savage’. If we were ever ordered to assault another Legion, we would virus bomb their recruitment worlds; slaughter their serfs and slaves; poison their gene-seed repositories and spend the next dozen decades watching them die slow, humiliating deaths. Night after night, raid after raid, we’d overwhelm stragglers from their fleets and bleach their skulls to hang from our armour, until none remained. But that isn’t the quick execution the Emperor needs, is it? The Wolves go for the throat. We go for the eyes. Then the tongue. Then the hands. Then the feet. Then we skin the crippled remains, and offer it up as an example to any still bearing witness. The Wolves were warriors before they became soldiers. We were murderers first, last, and always!”
This.
@Knoxcom Brother, The Prophet of the VIII Legion calls us and we shall stand in Midnight Clad
Yeah, Night Lords are monsters, but at least they didn't forget who they were. 😎
Also, we don't know about the Alpha Legion's geneseed. In fact, we don't know a lot about them.
Just to say, I am also a Night Lord fan, and they are awesome. The whole they're cowards meme isn't a hundred percent true, though. They are just as skilled as other marines, if not more, so in some regards, they just prefer to fight dirty and never take a fight that would be fair. They can they just don't since picking on the weak is fun to them.
I think that the Night Lords became "cowardly" after spliting up, or after Konrad left. Sevatar even brought this up once or twice.
The nightlords arent vampires but they are inspired by Dracula and eastern european vampires. You'll have to look elsewhere for that.
A thing you'll notice is that each legion shares or contrasts with their neighboring legions. For instance the white scars dont boast about their accomplishments while the next legion is constantly doing so, the emperors children are obsessed with outward perspectives on perfection while the next legion literally doesnt care about appearances and does anything out of spite
So eastern European vampires aren't vampires? The Nightlords are inspired by Ghouls,Gargoyles etc. and not by Vampires.
@@sagittariusa9012 being inspired by vampires and literally drinking blood like vampires are different things dude
@@sookendestroy1 You are technically right. But drinking blood is the definition of Vampires. Even our real world vampire bats got their name because of it while normal bats don't drink blood. Otherwise it is just a pale human. I never heard something that got inspired by vampires but don't drink blood. And as I already mentioned, the Nightlords are inspired by Gargoyles.
Plus, they have an awesome transylvanian accent. 😎
I’d recommend WesHammers WH40K timeline video and his sisters of battle deep dive video. Also Brickys video on which army to start with in the tabletop game
Also 2 legions records were "expunged" from history. Anyone who dares think or try and found out is mind probed and lobotomized. Essentally it is just two spots for players to make their own custom legions and give them a number.
But then, GW realized that it was a dumb idea, and made up some lore to "explain" what happened with them.
The 2nd and 11th legions were absobed by the Ultramarines and the Imperial fists. That's why the Ultramarines were the largest of the legions being over 250K strong during the Heresy.
they didnt say "we need less", they said "we need to split all of them up in smaller groups, so one corrupt chapter is max 1k marines that need to die". basically "divide and conqure" kinda thought
and yes you could play the pre heresy emperor's children in 30k.
So, they needed less Legions, and more individual groups. Gotcha. BD
Didn't Guilliman change that though? He split them up right after he woke up but then saw his error and fixed it
20:04 Playing the tabletop game of Horus Heresy, you can play as loyalist Emperor’s Children
There are quite a few legions and chapters that are not compliant with the 1000 space marine limit. A legion is of the twenty primarchs, and after the Horus Heresy, a rule was made that no legion should be more than 1000 space marines, if that is exceeded, then a “successor chapter” will be formed and that will go to 1000. Each successor chapter is its own self-governing chapter of marines.
Notably, there are the Black Templars, who are a successor chapter of the Imperial Fists and no one knows how many marines they have, but it seems there’s over 10,000 and growing.
It’s basically on the honor system, as ya can’t really tell space marines anything.
The black templars I’m pretty sure have 1000 members (who all happen to lead a group of 1000 space marines just for “fun”)
There is right now a model of snake man Fullgrim.
42:37 I think Bricky is implying that the living conditions on Nostramo is SO terrible that so many people would un-alive themselves which somehow helps keep the population in check (aside from all the murders).
There’s a creator called Arbitor Ian who has does a video for each legion but they aren’t too long so it’ll make more manageable content. He also does and explainer as to the current story setting. You should check it out.
HERE.WE.GO! 🎉🎉🎉
💪😁🦀
I'll try to do this for each Video to add on to any information and answer your questions, I'm not the biggest expert, but I do know enough to explain more about each legion, hopefully other people will add on or correct me if I get anything wrong. actually I put this forward as my application to join in with you guys to help you answer any questions you may have during the course of the video.
First of all, the order of the Legions are pretty much the order the Primarch/Legion was created. also, during the Great Crusade (before the horus heresy) the Legions could have as many Space Marines they could have, they were just limited by their casualties and recruitment, the largest Legions during their time could have over a hundred thousand Marines. after the Horus Heresy, one of the Primarchs, Roboute Guilliman, put into effect the splitting of the Legions, so all of them were split up into "Chapters" of 1000 Marines, so the largest Legions had the most Successor Chapters, while others, who were so devastated by the Horus Heresy, barely had enough for 2 Chapters. but there are a lot of Non-Compliant Chapters that don't like the Rules Roboute created and so ignore the 1000 space marine limit.
1. Dark Angels - This is the Original Legion of Lion El'Jonson from which all other Legions are based on. they're not supposed to be specialists, and because the Emperor trusted their Primarch so much, they are the only legion that has access to technology and weaponry from the Dark Age of Technology. the reason they're so paranoid about people learning about the Fallen is because they're the one of the few legions (or maybe the only legion) that was split almost 50/50 Loyalist or Traitor, and so they're afraid people would find out about their shame. Caliban, the Legion's Homeworld, was destroyed by the war between the Loyalist Dark Angels and Traitor Dark Angels on the Planet, so their Chapter's main home base right now is on the largest piece of rock that came from Caliban, Lion El'Jonson's current status is that he is asleep deep within the Dark Angel's Homebase, only known to the most highest ranking Dark Angels, so he doesn't have a miniature for 40k yet, but rumors are circulating that he may come back soon and get a miniature.
2. Lost Legion - No One knows much about this legion and the other lost legion, but it's theorized that they might have sided with Xenos or got corrupted/brainwashed by Xenos. both Lost Legions were removed from all records, apparently to honor their memory, because whatever they did or happened to them was so terrible and may have not been their fault. memories of them were deliberately removed from the other Primarchs minds by the Emperor and his right hand man, Malcador.
3. Emperor's Children - The Perfectionists of Fulgrim. their primarch doesn't have a Miniature, but he is described in lore to be very snake like now with many hands. Fulgrim was so favored by the Emperor that he allowed the Legion to bear the Palatine Aquila, the Emperor's personal standard. unfortunately an incident with their geneseed, which allows legions to make more space marines, caused them to only have a fewer marines compared to the other Space Marine Legions, which lead them to emphasize on perfection, to get as few casualties as possible. the reason their Legion was corrupted was because of a Cursed blade that Fulgrim recovered during one of their wars that slowly corrupted him and his space marines.
4. Iron Warriors - The legion's insecurity comes directly from their father Perturabo, whose skill, abilities, and accomplishments were so ignored and abused that he came to resent everyone else. Perturabo grew up in a world named Olympia, where he had to perform months long sieges to capture each and every city on the planet, making him the siege master of all the Primarchs, if there's a heavily fortified Planet or city that won't budge, there is no other legion better suited for it than the Iron Warriors. honestly he wouldn't have been such a bad guy if people just gave him credit for what he did, because his legion was always given the WORST jobs imaginable, the most difficult and mind numbing sieges, were handled by his legion, and he did what he needed to get the job done. so yeah, it's pretty easy to understand whyhe and his legion sided with chaos, currently he also doesn't have a miniature, but lore does say that he is now a Daemon Primarch like the other Traitor Primarchs. Late into the Great Crusade, his home planet, Olympia rebelled against the imperium and during a state of frustration from everything in his life, he committed mass extermination and enslaved everyone he didn't kill, after committing this terrible deed, he was afraid the emperor wouldn't forgive him and when Horus, now a traitor, offered to help him fight against the imperium, Perturabo accepted.
5. White Scars - These are our speed bois, you asked how they were faster, I'm not exactly sure, but it might have something to do with their Geneseed from their Primarch, Jaghatai Khan. you see each Primarch's Geneseed grants special powers to his sons based on his own powers, so their geneseed might be specialized to help them become more agile and faster than other space marines. additionally, Jaghatai Khan's biggest accomplishments is his reasonable decision in the horus heresy, when the Heresy first broke out, he was confused by what was happening, so he weighed both sides, Chaos vs Imperium, and even though he hated Tyrants like the Emperor and had no love for the Emperor and his Empire, he saw that no good would come from chaos winning, so he sided with the Loyalists. He doesn't have a 40k mini as well, no one knows where he is as after the Horus Heresy, his home planet, Chogoris was raided by Dark Eldar and he chased the Dark Eldar into the Webway. He hasn't returned since and has been missing for almost 10 thousand years now.
6. Space Wolves - These wolf boys are the viking sons of Leman Russ. unfortunately their Geneseed has a flaw that causes some of them to degrade into Wulfen, werewolf like Space Marines. also, as the Emperor's Executioners, it is said that the 2 lost legions, after their transgressions, were destroyed by the Space Wolves. additionally, the eating enemies to gain memories aren't solely a space wolf Thing, all space marines can eat their enemy's brains to gain their memories. Leman's current status is that he is missing, due to him going into the Eye of Terror after the horus heresy for a number of reasons, like finding a cure to bring the emperor back to life, so he doesn't have a miniature yet. (also the "There are no Wolves on Fenris" thing comes from the fact that wolves are not native to Fenris, either hinting that they were brought by humans to Fenris, or the Wolves of Fenris are Humans that mutated into Wolves, thus resulting in their Geneseed flaw turning into wulfen.)
7. Imperial Fists - These are the Defensive Masters of Rogal Dorn. honestly they are kind of a bit bland being the stoic unmoving warriors like their Primarch, but their biggest things are how they lead the entire Imperium defense in the Horus Heresy, Leading the Blood Angels and the White Scars while the other Loyalists were too occupied and/or blocked off by the Traitors to help in the defense. The other Big thing they have as well are the most popular successor chapters, The Crimson Fists and the Black Templars, who were composed of the most recent recruits and the most aggressive soldiers of the Imperial Fists Legion respectively. they're so popular that they are two of the four successor chapters that weren't part of the original Legions that have rules included in the Space Marine rules for the table top. Currently Rogal Dorn is Missing in Action as he went missing after going against the first Black Crusade outnumbered, the only thing the loyalists found was his hand, so he doesn't have a miniature yet.
8. The Night Lords - The Fearmongers of Konrad Curze. Actually there's a large difference between the Original Night Lords vs the Night Lords post-Great Crusade. you see, all the Space Marine Legions started out with recruits from Holy Terra, but once the great crusade was underway, they had to resort to recruiting from other planets, usually the homeplanet of their Primarch. and the Original Night Lords were actually good people, they had a stable and reasonable sense of honor and justice, and eventually when they found Konrad Curze on the Crime-ridden world of Nostramo, where Konrad developed his twisted sense of justice, the recruits began to come from Nostramo, and they were good people, as it had become crime-free due to Konrad Curze's efforts at first, as everyone was scared shitless of him, and when he left to join the Great Crusade, that's where it went down hill because he wasn't threatening everyone with skin flaying anymore, and eventually gang members and murderers started getting recruited and this is where the horrible side of the Night Lords come from. Additionally, Konrad was actually prescient, he could see the future, and was constantly bombarded by visions of the future, like seeing his own death, the death of other primarchs, the fate of the emperor and even visions of the Horus Heresy. Ultimately he turned traitor because of his visions. Nostramo eventually become a crime-ridden hellhole again, and Konrad would blow up the planet (fulfilling one of his visions) and joining the Traitors, his current status is dead, as he was assassinated, and he never became a Daemon Primarch. and so he doesn't have a Mini.
Well that was pretty much it, out of all of these, I like the Dark Angels and Emperor's Children the most, and the Space Wolves I like the Least. if you have corrections or questions just reply here, thanks for reading!
Wow awesome Thanks for that☺️
a few comments have talked about the split chapters which is interesting and with the geneseed being the reason for white scars speed ability but we may talk about it in another video.. we may do top 3 or 5 space marine legions? And just have a talk about them☺️🦀
@@crabtales yeah you could do a top 5 at the end of the last part of this. Excited to see you guys react to the remaining Legions.
That cartoon near the end of this vid is called “imperial fist VS iron warrior” if you want to react to it
- _"Your mother was a trench shovel, and your father smelled of gunpowder!"_
- _"Well f*ck you too, loyalist."_
Suicide rate... Meaning thier home world Nostramus was so BAAAAD the ppl killed themselves
So the two Lost Primarchs and their Legions are two things.
1. They are a deliberate mystery. The original idea is that there would be two unknown Legions with unknown Primarchs that could be filled in at any time. Games Workshop never settled on anything, so they cemented in lore that these Primarchs and their Legions would be expunged from history and would never be discussed openly, only hinted at, which has added to the mystique and intrigue surrounding them.
2. They're placeholders. A commonly accepted idea in the community, although never officially recognized by GW, is that the 2 Lost Legions are placeholders for people's homebrewed Space Marine armies, and that one would be a placeholder for Loyalist Marines and the other would be for Traitor/Chaos Marines.
The 2nd and 11th Legions were supposed to be fan-created legions. However, that would be in conflict with the canon lore, so they were retconned into they did something bad and then the Emperor erased them entirely.
There are multiple theories on what those legions are.
For me, one of my theories is that one of the two legions were the all-female space marines who tried to bypass their modifications in order to procreate (because space marines can't have sex, essentially rendered infertile due to their modifications placed upon them). Emperor didn't like that and just wiped them out.
One theory I've heard that the 2nd and 11th legion did something so heinous, so disgustingly evil, that the Inquisition and I think the Space Wolves went out of their way erased any and all knowledge of them. I can't remember all the details.
Would be a great way to include women space marine without insulting the lore
I'm pretty sure White Scars are not Sonic the Hedgehog or anything. Really, before the Khan was found, the legion was pretty vanilla. But their combat doctrine makes it so they hit you so fast you can't react. Mainly, if they get in close on bikes the battle tends to be over because they'll just cause so much chaos they enemy won't know what the hell is going on. Plus they are so absurdly good at riding bikes, they can pull off maneuvers that make them fair more effective on them than off. Like, they will have full swordfights mounted on bikes complete with footwork somehow. To make it more crazy, a Captain White Scar took out a bomber on his bike by jumping off a ramp and getting enough height to drive his wheel into the cockpit of the flyer. But unfortunately, there isn't a lot of material on them. Them and the Salamanders don't have a lot of good books to shine in although the Scars, recently got 2 or 3 great ones.
I thought that the order of the legions came from their initial creation back on earth before they were called space marines. The Salamanders were called the 18th during the unification wars against the techno-barbarians, and they are the 18th legion so I always thought that the 20 legions were at first the thunder warrior legions that eventually became more distinct and eventually got gene seeds from the primarchs once they were found.
Imagine being so confident in say your attack where it’s like blitz krieg where every dais going really well, the enemy is falling back
BAAMM
SPACE MARINES CHARGING UP YOUR FLANKS ALL THE WHILE FIGHTERS AND ATTACK CRAFT STREAK ABOVE YOUR HEAD MOWING DOWN WAVE UPON WAVE OF YOUR TROOPS.
Also to add something to what pepper said: Legions got 'reduced' to chapters....the Number of Marines is roughly the same, but spread over more chapters (~ 1000 Chapters with ~1000 Marines each; in the past 10 loyal Legions with ~100.000Marines each)
That’s chapters legions could poses anything and anywhere up to ten thousand active marines barring specialists like drivers, engineers, pilots and the like ten thousand active foot soldier to anywhere up to a million strong, so considering the power of only a thousand marines let alone the fact that most battles would only consist of one or two squads of marines for an entire campaign the level of destruction is unimaginable, especially when you consider the fact that they had access to more advanced and more efficient and destructive war gear like vulkite weapons which are as common as finding a diamond or gold, ie they are super rare in 40K but during the crusade they were basically the standard issued weapons for the marines as well as the solar auxilia/ the imperial army (not to be confused with the later imperial guard) where your average soldier had access to death rats similar to the ones from mars attacks where it vaporizes the target and anything in the general area, not to mention that the titan legions and knight houses hasn’t sit yet so whilst a single titan legion might be sent to a single world like Armageddon in which a hundred titans would be deployed, during the crusade a single titan legion would be able to outfit over a thousand titans on a single world if needed, all the while knights were far far more common, all the while the lasgun he guns everyone laughs at was twice as powerful during the crusade and was the standard issued weapon for the average human, it would be akin to giving an entire army with fully automatic sniper rifles and whilst the modern lasgun is no pushover, the modern lasgun isn’t as powerful as what they used during the crusade where it was capable of actually penetrating space marine power armor it was that powerful, however due to its higher power and higher temperatures, the 30k lasgun was too complicated and too costly to manufacture and after the heresy, many guard regiments favored a much weaker but much more durable and easier to produce patterns, where it’s akin to the M14 during Vietnam where yes the added firepower was nice but practicality and reliability wise the M14 was a nightmare vs the much smaller, lighter and compact m16.
The 2 missing legions in lore have been erased form history for an unknown reason. What it was actually done for was so the player can create their own legion with their own unique color schemes
The legions where split into chapters of 1000 Marines after the heresy.
The marines in each chapter serve iin 10 companies of 100 marines. These companies are numbered 1 to 10/
The first company is made up of the moat exprienced veteran marones.
The 10th company is made up mostly of boys going through the implantation of the the organs and training these act as scouts and are lead by a full marine officer who acts as a captain and several full marine sergeants who train them.
Some chapters have deviations from this. The Dark Angels have two veteran cimonies instead of one. The first company is the death wing. They are all armoured in Terminator armour, which is more powerful than basic standard Marine power armour. The 2nd company is known as the Ravenwing, they are a mobility troop. They specialise in vehuckes like combat motorcycles x land speeders, and fighter planes. Both of these companies have a specify role in hunting the Fallen, the members of the legion that Bricks mentioned fell to chaos. The regular marines (the non officers) of the 3rd to 19th company do. Know about the fallen and only n learn about the shame of the Legion upon being promoted to the first or second company.
Each chapter also has a number of specialist roles outside Q the Marines in the comoany. These are Chaolains, who are the keepers of the chapters traditions and I'm charge of discipline. Linrarians, who are the puscjic members of the chaoter, Apothecaries, who are the medics, and Tech Marines -who take care of the weapons and armour, and vehicles.
Every chapter is lead by a Chapter Master though some chapters use a different title fornit m examples the Dark Angels chapter Master is called the Supreme Grand Master, rhe Blood Angels Chapter Master is Lord Commander, the Space Wolves Chapter Master is called the Great Wolf and the Black Temolaes Chapter Master is the High Marshal.
Yeah so with the Legions that remained loyal, after the Horus Heresy when they limited the number each legion could have, the legions split up with one segment maintaining the original legion name, and other chapters claiming heritage to the founding chapter while adopting new names and paint schemes.
Not every chapter is completely Codex compliant, like the Black Templars, when the Imperial Fists got split up one of the chapters was the Black Templars and they took the insinuation that not being super enthusiastic about the Codex rules meant they were less loyal very personally, and have been on an active crusade ever since for ten thousand years, setting up chapter recruitment bases on each would they conquer.
Actual game wise having so many chapters means Space Marine players can create their own chapters and fit them in lore wise.
My headcannon with the lost legions is that they were traitor, but the Imperium destroyed them and therefore the records were expunged. The Imperium would want to destroy the records of the other traitor legions but since they still exist and actively are a threat the knowledge of their existence and the whipping of religious fervour that comes with pointing to them as the traitors to kill is beneficial, once they're destroyed then knowledge of them and what they did has no benefit and only exists as a threat to the Imperium inspiring others who may turn to Chaos.
Not gonna lie didn’t think someone so new would get into a deep fandom idea for mixing geneseed which if you want to know more there’s stuff like space sharks and the badab wars
Btw every space marine can gain knowledge from eating corpses, but it is more prolific in the Space Wolves and Blood Angels chapters. The Space Wolves are savage vikings that hate magic but love wolves. While the Blood Angels are blood thirsty vampire Catholics who also are angels with crippling Vietnam flashbacks.
Lorewise the 2nd and 9th legions were expunged from the Imperial Histories. Gamewise, they were GW allowing players to make their own astartes and chaos marine faction up instead of using one of the named legions.
Pretty sure the 9th legion is the blood angels
Konrad is probably the best written character in 40k but 100% the best written primarch
I mean the guys are right caliban already being destroyed was pretty common knowledge before the writing of the horus heresy books, every single space marine chapter list in every space marine codex since like 2nd edition has had caliban listed as destroyed and the dark angels codex has pretty much always had the lore on it and they got their first codex in 2nd Edition, the main major plot points of the horus heresy existed before the books scattered across rule books and codex books the heresy books just bring it all together and fill in the details
Space wolf player here, if you like loyalist marines and melee pick them or the Black Templars. Why use speeders when we have wolves lol
If I have to pick one... Lamenters.
You know if you watch on brave browser you won't get ads?
Don't put too much faith in the title "Emperor's executioners" although bricky will not bring up this fact, but once you guys learn about alpha legion, i will tell about that time during the horus heresy where the space wolfs and Leman almost got extinct. :^)
Thousand Sons anyone? 😆
The "Emperor's Executioner" title may have had something to do with the Lost Legions imo.
I like the Salamanders
Normal means of subjugation would be if a world refuses to comply, send down a couple of marines to show how powerful you are, if a world still refuses then either breath them into submission via a prolonged war or a few shots from orbit and that’s about it, if not then there’s two other options
First option (if a world is heavily fortified like a planet wide castle, then you send in the iron warriors to crush any and all resistance until compliance is made or until there isn’t a structure left standing or a lifeform left living.
Second option ( why waste the lives of hundred marines when two Marines with a scalpel and a planetary leader could be far far more effective, think of them as say the taliban or the IRA where things like terror ism, mass executions, public displays, imagine if say the nuclear launch codes for the entire United States weapons were all leaked to china, going china full control over American nuclear weapons, or imagine the reaction if news about say joe Biden was actually sending aid to Ukraine in order to get the Ukrainians to become a puppet state in which they are forced to pay back America all the while funding the Russians by giving them money to fund their invasion of Ukraine, that’s what the nightlords do they are basically the Illuminati where they control or manipulate a world without them realizing or just don’t care and decide to say fuck it next day all of your senators would be skinned alive and then crucified all the while their skins are tied at the top of flag poles for all to see.
That’s how messed up they are and sometimes they’ll just do it for fun
You guys should really react to V.I.P by Zen you're going to love it!
And great video!
Will have to look into it😊🦀
It’s like say a country that was run by a dictatorship being converted into a democracy like the Middle East where small groups of individuals had insane levels of power and so was much easier to control and maintain authority, however after gedafi many branches and sub branches had to be created to share and disperse the amount of power so that say the Secretary General doesn’t have complete or a majority control over the army to prevent a revolution and so you have the head of the army, which is give less power and is then given to many other branches much like the US s senate
The legions arent limited. The Legions were divides into chapters consisting of 1k individuals each.
Exactly.
I just want to add that they are still extremely rare as we are talking thousands of planets here.
All of Majorkill's lore videos are bloody entertaining, a good dose foul mouthed 'strayin (Aussie) humour.
Haha definitely have to check that out then 🇦🇺😃🦀
Spoilers alert the Black Templar video is fake. I would love a breakdown of everybody's top 5 at the end of part 2. What Bryce refers to with the reduction of space marine numbers is the establishment of the Codex Astartes. This limited each Successor Chapter of Space Marines to only number 1,000, but any number of Successor chapters can be spawned from a Primarchs Geneseed. So Guilliman may have 200,000 Ultramarines during the Heresy, but afterward he had 1,000 man sub chapters like the Emperors Spears. Blood Angels also has the Flesh Tearers for example.
Thanks for the comment..
We may do a top 3 or 5 video of our favourite or most interesting.. 😊🦀
@CrabTales Thanks guys! Just wanted to see how everybody's tastes changed over time.
finally you did it.:3
the legions are no more, they have been broken up into chapers, said chapters cannot have more then 1000 marine's
React to tje darktide by bricky one next
Instead of interrupting the intros to each one in the middle and starting them up again in the middle, you can back up a couple seconds each time you start to get the impact of the joke.
So, to explain the furry bullshit, the Space Wolves have a problem with their gene-seed. A lot of the Primarchs had animal DNA spliced into them to give them extra superhuman abilities. In the case of Leman Russ, he got a lot of canine DNA, and this is expressed as something called the Canis Helix. This causes the wolfish traits associated with the Space Wolves, namely their hairy bodies, pronounced canines, and enhanced sense of smell, to be expressed so commonly that it's considered a way of distinguishing the Space Wolves from the other Legions, and in the event of a severe mutation, these traits are expressed even more in the form of the Wulfen, which are essentially Space Marine werewolves. This transformation into Wulfen usually happens during a Space Wolf's early development, and they are essentially left to wander Fenris until the Space Wolves need them as berserk shock troops, but the Curse of the Wulfen does occasionally manifest in much older Space Marines, although this is extremely rare.
I'm around 50 books into the heresy now. Most of the books are amazing but there's a few I had to skip
Pls watch: the last church , 23:50 I highly recommend this to you, it's hilarious
Wait, do you mean the TTS podcast, or the animated movie that god deleted and reposted? 😢
10000 I think
Space Marine Legions were 10,000 marines per legion. After Horus Heresy the remaining loyalists were broken into smaller Chapters of 1000 each.
Am I the only one finding GW's numbers ridiculous? Add a 0 in every number they give you, and Warhammer starts to become epic. X)
Hey TH-cam Premium to get rid of those ads lmao
The vids on each legion/primarch needs to be watched coz night haunter is baaad nd good
Are you guys from US?? Why do you have so many ads on videos? The max is 1 or 2 i have ever seen on youtube video....

@@crabtales no problem! Just happy to see people get into the hobby

Oculus imperia's videos on the legions go into the lore around their number. They are very much the order the legions were created in.
edit: lol how do you play 40k and don't know how chapters work. Lol nevermind he knows just enough to confuse yall
