Bro, you released a Warhammer video about rip off Jesus Jawa’s that jack-off knights at 11:30pm.
This is just to perfect.
Happy Holidays Majorkill
chaos champions!!! Do one on them
You really are one of the nicest meet people, you have my respect. Your one of my favorite youtubers. Keep you the great work!
I have problem with cancer skin,how effective is it against melanoma?
"All evil can be fought"
-A Watcher responding to Zahariel asking if chaos can be resisted. For some reason that line always stuck with me.
Go further "All evil *must* be fought"
What book would that be from?
@@vincentmalasawmkimajongte7489 "Descent of Angels" if I remember correctly
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing @@thehermitman822
i love the idea of some little robed fella waddling after a dark angel with a sword in his hands that is twice the size he is
Watchers in the Dark are the perfect companions for the Dark Angels. They're small so they don't get in the way, they're quiet so they won't say anything you don't want said(like with the fallen), and they're absolutely adorable to look at with their big robes and handling weapons twice their size.
I recently discovered a new favorite trope: Little guys who are secretly eldritch horrors.
-The Watchers In The Dark.
-The knight from Hollow knight.
-Kirby.
Kirby isn't an eldritch horror, he is THE Eldritch Horror that gives Eldritch Horrors nightmares
@@NekoSoren Sometimes I do forget he is objectively the strongest character in all of video games.
@@THExRISER Ah, yeah, being one hit KO is top-tier strat...
@@rantymcrant-pants9536 Well, lore wise at least.
Even traditionally strong characters like the Doom Slayer will die quickly if you don't know what you're doing while controlling him.
@@rantymcrant-pants9536 Considering gods, reality-warpers, and eldritch horrors have all fought and lost to Kirby over something as simple as his cake going missing…yes…it is top-tier….
I wonder what would happen if a harlequin ran into a watcher? Would the harlequin realize it just encountered a problem or would they try to have a laugh?
They would try to have a laugh as that is how they respond to absolutely everything
@Major_Kill18 scram
The harlequin would understand the absurdity of the situation and explain why their goals align - through interpretive dance.
They would laugh the watcher would stare and the laughing god would never feel the presence of his worshipper again.
@@ericcook8254 I don’t think so, they share a common enemy with the same amount of burning passion
Watchers appeared to Zahariel before he killed the Calabanite lion. He went searching in their neck of the woods and they essentially said “no trespassing, your quarry is that way”.
Majorkill: they are a Eldrich Horror and super OP
My sister: I would give them Headpats
The Watchers in the Dark are the Seven Dwarfs and Lion El'Jonson is Space Snow White.
So...
We're just waiting for the a space prince to come and sexually assault him, ummmm, I mean kiss him without knowledge or consent whilst sleeping so that he wakes up to go ram a sword through Luther's head and ride then him around like a motorbike...
*Team of Eldar the infiltrated the Rock*
Farseerer: “Where’s the eldritch creature you warned about, behind the little green hooded guy”
Solitaire: “It is the little green hooded guys.”
Archon: “You bastard!”
Solitaire: “What?”
Harlequin: “You got us all worked up. Over a small Mon Keigh!”
Solitaire: “That’s no Mon Keigh. That’s the most foul, ancient, and powerful eldritch creature you ever set eyes on.”
Archon: “What’s it gonna do, nibble your kneecaps?”
Solitaire: “I’m warning you!”
Farseer: “Yeah right, Maugen, Lelith, go kill it.”
*Maugen Ra and Lelith Hesperax approach the watcher in the dark*
Solitaire: “Look…”
Lelith: *gets one shotted*
Maugen: *gets one shotted*
ha! nice reference
So The Watchers are pretty much just stray cats that hang around occasionally catches a rat or two in the house but mostly hang around for the food.
Changling: im gonna cause pure insanaty on the rock
*turns a corner*
Changling: yes my lates vic....
Watcher: hi there
Changling: OH shit
Watcher: you best run boy
the watchers are so obscure they could be the old ones and it would never be known
imagine if it gets revealed that they are the Old Ones who managed to evolve into something new and then one of them pokes the Golden Throne and the Emperor gets to wake up from his ten thousand year long nap.
@@Ecthelion842 theres honestly nothing saying no, as far as i can remember
You’ve got no idea how much I’ve been wanting this video. I haven’t known what these little dudes are called but they’re in all of these Dark Angel models. I’ve literally been searching for WEEKS
Read a damn book they get tons of mentions.
@@MrGrim2u1987 bro I do read the books, but I don’t know what books to read. After this I do now. It doesn’t help that I still had no idea what these guys were even called
There are fallen who are 100% chaos, fallen who are loyal to no one and fallen who are still loyal to the emperor.
the watchers could be blank demons it sounds impossible but nothing is impossible in warhammer
@@EarthenGames Sort of. C'tan come from a separate dimension that is more unknown than the warp. The C'tan did sort of use the warp as a play ground till things got wild.
Vulkan: I want to pet them.
Corax: Aren't they Xenos?
Vulkan: If they are Xenos, why are they friend-shaped?
Do you think to do a video about the perpetuals ?
That would be dope
Honestly I love the Dark Angels for many reasons as they are my favorite Legion/Chapter but the Watchers in the Dark are one of my absolute favorite parts of them.
They are one of the most, if not the most unique aspect of any Chapter. No other has anything quite as strange, mysterious and absolutely random as the Watchers in the Dark.
They are a fascinating and unique thing for the Dark Angels that nothing else has anything close to.
I want a friend like Watcher too 😔
The watchers are actually the old ones and we just never realized they were that small
I know this isn't related to the video but I'm wondering which one is stronger a thunderwarrior or a primarus marine? The reason for asking is because a primarus marine is Supposed to be a major improvement over the normal marine. However the thunder Warrior is supposed to be strong enough to take down 3 normal marine before dying. So again I ask which is stronger?
the primaris are about 1.5 marines.
thunder warriors are more like eversor assasins: just up to the degree of dying. marines are there for long use and strategy, thunder warriors are burn through mop up.
custodes have both the custodes and primaris benefits effectively at once. but are complicated to make
@@Chrisspru Thank you for the info. But then here's a new question: There are thunder Warriors who somehow reverse engineer the gene seed and tried to give it to themselves, if those thunder Warriors somehow survived to the 40K setting would they be able to have the opportunity to get the primarus upgrade?
@@toaendor5207 Thunder Warriors, by far.
And no
Thunder warriors are in a constant state of degredation.
Those that survived the Arrarat Massacre, slowly went insane and had to kill off their own insane brothers.
When they killed their brothers, they would harvest their implants and Organs to replace their own failing pieces.
Also
Primaris are created from Primarch geneseed.
Thunder Warriors are no Astartes and do not have Primarch Geneseed
Think about it this way
It took Cawl like 9k+ years to sort out the simple change from Ultramarine Astartes, to Ultramarine Primaris.
The Thunder warriors are near extinct.. and no ones worked on it.
Is it possible?
Anything is possible
But it will never happened, no one will invest the time and resources to fix an extinct group
@@adrienwatson2179 But wasn't there a group of thunderwarriors that fought during the siege of Terra? And didn't they have a gene seed?
@@toaendor5207 There was one, if i remember correctly
He was stealing and consuming Geneseed, which helped to temporarily stabilize him.
Like I said, its POSSIBLE to enhwncd Thunder warriors
There just isnt anyone willing/capable of doing it.
Think of it this way
Astartes are given enhanced organs and gene therepy via Primarch Geneseed to grow them.
Thunder Warriors are given PEDs
LOTS of PEDs
Such a cocktail of steroids, HGH, combined with Meth
Add some alchemical Warp enhanced Gene fuckery.... and younhave a Thunder Warrior
My headcanon is that the Watchers represent the DA players, choosing their favourite angel to be their table top captain
How about “Games Workshops’s Legal History EXPLAINED By An Australian” and go over all of Games Workshops’s lawsuits? That’d be a fun video!
After a League of Legends minion scores a late-game pentakill, they transcend into a Watcher in the Dark...not even that ork-planting Teemo would dare troll them after.
Will you make a video about the age of dusk?
I love the Watchers. I always bring them in my army. Some call it a waste of 5 points.
I call it a secret agenda!
(Secretly I think they're cute and I like having them follow around their big chunky terminator buddies)
They arent a waste....they're lil support buddies
They are Goofy cute little guys
Where’s the Dark Angels game where we have a Watcher in the Dark little helper. Maybe with Dark souls kinda combat, fighting huge daemons.
These guys are the reason Dark Angels are my marine army. Love those little guys.
There are people saying daddy Dorn is about to come back. Maybe even earlier than Lion
As a Fallen player I'm willing to reconcile with the Dark Angel's as long as I dont get tortured to death. Otherwise I'll stay out of it and keep rolling around with my brothers
-ASMODAI!
-REPENT?!?!
-MAKE HIM REPENT!
-REPEEEEEEEEEENT!!!!!!
That's how the meeting would go my man don't kid yourself
@@nickathanas1898 I appreciate the warning brother. We will continue to fight for the emperor in our own way and avoid the Angels
I play as both DA and Fallen, I don't see them ever reconciling at least not largely. To many have went to Chaos even having Marbas as a Demon Prince.
I think Cypher and Luther have their parts to play though. Luther desires redemption and who knows what Cypher wants (hopefully his book will shed some light).
Also I am bummed they took away the Fallen as a proper faction/unit. Just Cypher now.
If this guy's are friendly I wonder what are the watcher in the rain.
I love the fact that youre still using your old outro
Hey Majorkill, if you ever doubt your influence I'm 7,000 miles away and fifteen years your senior and you're my entry point to Warhammer. About a year ago TH-cam started recommending your videos, couldn't bring myself to click a Warhammer video. Six months ago I gave in on the condition it didn't escalate to videos related to game play or modeling. That lasted until about a month ago (so much lore). The game and modeling fascinated me as much as the lore. Had a bad day at work Friday and bought $200 worth of plastic crack. Had you not been such a gifted story teller I don't think I'd have become fascinated with the universe.
An interesting aside, I was embarrassed for my wife to find out. I found out she collected and painted Warhammer fantasy before we met. My minis will always look a little better than they should because my wife is adorkable.
Vulkan would approve of this wholesomeness
I can now point at Majorkill and say "Hey, I have that shirt, only it's burgundy.'
Watchers in the Daaaaark
Future now and past
Watchers in the Daaaark
When it all mixes up
"OUT! OF! ALL! THE! WATCHERS! IN THE ROCK! WHY DO I GET ONE THAT TALKS!!!"
My Settron mini just arrived! Looks awesome, first non Deathwing mini! Gonna get it set up, painted and entered in your contest.
I've always thought it odd that all of the Dark Angels accept the presence of the Watchers as benevolent ... so I created a home brew successor Chapter that doesn't. There's a lot of lore to build on there but it becomes an issue of secrets conspiracies within secret conspiracies that seems pretty in-character for the Dark Angels overall.
I would not be surprised if there is a frog face behind that hood... 😆
Shadow Wizard Money Gang
OF. ALL. THE. WATCHERS. IN. THE. ROCK. WHY. DO. I. GET. ONE. THAT. TALKS?!
- Not Suspicious Boi
The watchers are the old ones
This is why renegade are better than loyalists and chaos. If I had a cool xenos bro that could literally delete armies and save my ass in a heartbeat id be all about that. The galaxy is fucking huge and the idea of killing someone thats not of human stock for no reason is massively grimderp.
Fan Theory: The Watchers in the Dark are the remnants of the Old Ones. They have immense psychic power, are immune to most forms of harm, take great pains to hide their appearance and are dedicated to helping out the Dark Angels against the forces of Chaos.
Looking forward to the next release being a Primaris Lieutenant, followed by Majorkill CBT.
I like to think that, in the watchers' tongue, the word for "he wakes" is "ootini"
09:28 the next one will be angry Ron so prepare for some CBT
sports, skincare and haircare a great for self confidence. i turned from a buzzcut inflamed potatoehead momasboy into a bloodangels candidate.
If the Inquisition decided to go after this xeno watchers of the dark, would the dark angels protected them?
They would, especially since inquisitors and dark angels dont mix very well
What's that Zahariel book again? I read it before and want to read again, it was a solid book
You should definitely NOT boop the snoots of the Watchers in the Dark... But we all wanna.
if the watchers are so fucking strong, then why didn't they prevent the heresy, or at least luthor's rebellion?
What If the watchers real mission is to wait for the lion to wake up and help him destroy chaos from the shadows while also protecting the dark angels from psychic attacks
Aww who's a cute little eldritch horror carrying a giant fuck off sword-
Hmm, I wonder why you might be making a video about the watchers...👀
I lost count but I'm still asking for majorkill imperial knights/eldar a Titans and shit
Could they be something to do with the big E ?
Maybe they are a remnant of the Old ones.
They're skinks waiting for papa lizard
Dude I think you've become a real life Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader
Emperor awakes, massacres the Watchers, makes the Dark Angels feel even more guilty, all is good.
If they're immune to the warp, the Emperor likely wouldn't be able to harm them.
when you look at your channel without a picture you can get the idea you're the buttsmarn, he has the same greeting and the voice is similar. you two could do something together, I think it could be something good
Just an idea..
Maybe a necromunda lore specific list..
Maybe titled either Necromunda from ye guy down under..
Or..
Tales from the land down underhive.
They sound like old ones
Majorkills theory on the Primarches being entities from the warp (gods? mini-gods?) is pretty spot on if you think about how these Watchers work. Chances are the Lion is their god or something related to him personally. His spirit now in mortal form, they are somewhat there following him like a bad fart.
They are warp infused from secret knowledge shared by the chaos gods..big e made pacts in exchange for knowledge but broke his agreements which is why the 4 gods scattered the primarchs birthing capsules and steered events to the point where they ended with half the primarchs on thier side and big e on life support
Can we get a video about all the first captains during the Horus Heresy?
Emper Tempers
So... Theyre Tom Bombadill
I don't think they would raise too much suspicion in an imperial visitor. The imperium is full of all sorts of weirdos, just look at some Blanche art.
I didn't know much about these guys...strangely similar to the Emperor?
woah woah woah the Dark angels have never murder any inquisitors
2 decided to go on vacation after visiting the rock
1 had a heart attack
has for the 4th he found nothing suspicious at rock and left rather happy so we can only assume he is lost in the warp
I'll say the Watchers are just creatures from the warp that dislikes chaos probably there before chaos when everything was calm and than bam noise crazy neighbors taking over everything and ruining your peace.
Henry Cavill gonna be El'jonoson
Next video idea:
If one of the Chaos Gods decides to somehow join forces with the Imperium against the other Chaos Gods, who would it be, why and how would it affect the current setting?
Tzeentch is the only one that would do that type of shenanigans. He would probably do it to prevent the other chaos gods from winning too much and end the great game.
If the watchers are entities of the warp,what would happen if they encountered the shadow in the warp?
I would have to look into that, that is an interesting question.
@@RvBnerd618 after all the shadow in the warp is generated by the single most powerful entity we know of in war hammer,it’s the only entity to my knowledge that is described similarly to a god from lovecrafts mythos
And that one got removed. What the 💢☠️⁉️⚡ TH-cam. Okay, just search up an 8 year post of someone asking how Shadow of the Warp works in 40k lore. The guy explained how the manifestations would be effected by it.
I wonder if the Watchers was just a hide away self insertion of the original creators of WH40k...... 💀
Day 1 of asking big e vs goku teory
cool video
So they’re the 40k equivalent to endermen😭
The watchers are one of the most interesting and cool things in 40k. The dark angels are among my favorite and having the watchers is one of their coolest attributes and one of the things that make them so much different than the other legions.
That said I still don't like zahariels fall. The way he was built up through the books made his fall make absolutely no damn sense. I'm not arguing it cause I know the lore and how it happened. I just don't like it. Him and nemiel were two of my favorite astartes in the entire imperium and they were incredibly interesting characters who felt like they should have a bigger role to play. Like they would be even more significant than they were and they both would have made damn good protagonists. Nemiel as an antihero and zahariel as a dark but noble librarian who tends to do the right thing. I just didnt like where they took those two, especially with zahariels interactions with the watchers. I wanted to see that continue further. But that's 40k I guess, no one ever gets what they want and there are no 100 percent good guys
The only thing I can even say as a critique on your videos anymore is the way you cover your face with your hands when you say "lets get into it". I remember you have always done this, kind of, but at this point in your career it just looks like an odd mannerism and is almost confusing honestly.
I think it would be better if you just did anything other than cover your face, nothing would be better as well but I as an Italian understand the need to communicate with hand signals as well lol.
Just a little tip for the future my man. Keep up the good work, nearly time to bust out the cosplay calendar.
Just Hrud teenagers pranking those gullible humans... they'll grow out of it
dont mention the watchers, dont look at the watchers, avoid the watchers
I loved these little guys when I learned of their existence. They add quite the flavor to the Dark Angels.
@@Banthisyoutube That's a great idea you had there! B)
Same
The watchers in the dark are just the seven dwarfs waiting for cipher to come Kiss the princess/ the lion
This is actually Canon, FYI

Never made that connection before 😂
@@petercaballero4880 I mean have you seen Tom Brady
@@dukedevlan5457 ...dude wtf?!
I like to think the Watchers are/were a early creation of the Old Ones. As like sentient pets or servants.
Then the survivors fled to Caliban after the War in Heaven
I like! Servants from the Golden era of gods are ultrapowered in the weak current setting.
Maybe they were an abandoned experiment from when the Old Ones were creating races to fight necrons. Eldar and orcs got picked, watchers were benched.
@@keremmu makes sense considering their small size and likely weak physical nature. They're hugely psychic but if that were overwhelmed they'd have nothing to fall back on, meanwhile the orks are weakly psychic but massively physically strong. While the eldar are just in between: Fairly strong psykers able to put up a decent physical fight.
I was thinking: What if they're the actual surviving Old Ones?
Calling it now, the watchers are psychic skinks
I'd like to imagine a named character being on a dark angel ship for some mission or something, and a watcher just walks in and walks out and all the astarties are like "you feeling OK? Little space man? You should lay down"
“W-was that a Xeno?!?”
“Brother! What do you mean? There is no xeno???”
“But what was that-“
“There. Is. No. Xeno.”
*An Interrogator Chaplain slowly emerges from the shadow*
Something to note about the watchers: apparently they can only exist within a certain radius of Caliban itself, that's why they don't leave the Rock, and that's why when they accompany someone on a mission, said someone usually have a relic of Caliban on them.
Then carrying weapons and armor now makes much more sense.
so the armor that they carry might not even belong to a marine that they're accompanying
Considering the emperor is super close with The Lion and let's him in on knowledge he doesn't share with many others, it's easy to assume the emperor has met one of the watchers in the dark. Point being, what did that meeting look like?
That's a good question.
@@starhammer5247 right lol. I'm sure its probably not stated anywhere in lore but here's hoping 🤣🤷♂️
The Watcher would waddle along doing its thing while the Emperor would probably sense how powerful it is and not fuck with it. The Watchers are pretty chill and fighting even one would probably be dangerous for the Emperor so he would consider them cautiously as allies of the Imperium.
@@bryanmcloud4121 inquisition is on the way to check you for heresy. Emperor is one who can kick Ktan's asses and mess with chaos god's. His psychic abilities is far beyond apocalyptic. We are talking about God of Humankind here. There is no way he will be scared by xenos. My bet is that a squad of Grey Knights or like one single Custodes would be able to purge their entire race.
@@Олексій-г1в fan boying hard enough?
Custodes are peak physical combatants, but have nearly no defence against warp attacks (hence the partnership with the sister of silence), not to mention they would likely be aware, or find out quickly that nothing they do harms them.
The grey knights while very good fighters and very good psykers, would know intrinsically not to attack the watchers. The changeling didn't want to fuck with 1 of them.
Day twenty three of asking majorkill to compare Abbadon and Archaeon
Abbadon?
This deserves to be asked for 23 years instead
Archaon won, Abbadon failed 12 times 🤷♂️
One has a horse the other has a claw.
Failbaddon
Funny how in HHL they’re classed as a ‘’Chaos’ Infantry’ units so I’m wondering why they’re assisting the duplicitous legion and not the Loyalist Alpha legion
I mean the game takes liberties on alignment as is, seeing as defence satellites and the like are apparently chaos exclusive XD
I guess it also fights the best due to their psyker abilities, and not belonging to the imperial army or mechanicus
Suppose they could be defenders of caliban or da but gotta share
Because even the Alpha Legion doesn't know if they are loyalist or not. Their motives are so convoluted that it makes Tzeentch blush on the daily.
@@eemelisaurila9940 and Defenders of Caliban are scummy enough as a faction Duplicitous is crazy strong against dualists and tactic lacking decks
Honestly I do believe he's a loyalist, pretending to be on there side. There's just such a strange conversation between malk and him while he was personally training to him to use his powers. And I'm sure you know that malk the Chad never did anything for no reason. And remember kids the imperium was his idea, not Big Es.
Are u saying that they're all ALPHARIUS?!
If Vulkan found out he would pet and hug them
Vulkan would absoloutely have a baby carrier thing on his chest that has a watcher in it for easy access for hugs
Only Xenos Humanity can work with, they actually saved Dark Angels and the Lion El Johnson.
No they aren't....there's a ton of Xenos that humanity can work with.
Bro the humans pay ork mercenaries on the regular lol
@@gholamdapantaloonsniffer8218 With Watchers in the Dark being the only ones that never had conflict or waged war with Humanity. Only assisting Humans for as far as we know in lore.
@@2SSSR2 Jokaero Weaponsmiths
@@2SSSR2 There is also the tree people, beastmen, There are also unnamed Xenos species that work quite closely with the Imperium and have been for...forever.
Often times sanctioned xenos get picked up by Inquisitors, ya know, the ones that are not an insane minority that think being vegan is an abhuman chaos thing.
Hell, the Imperium practically adores Kroot, and frequently hires Orks for salvage jobs and as auxiliary defense.
In the grim darkness of the far future...the grimness is not that everyone is a xenophobe it is that no matter what they do the already fucked up and are no better than technobarbarians scrounging at ruins of their greater glories...yes even chaos. Anyone remember Daemon Empires, no? Good. Neither do the daemons. Cause they too died.
As cool as a officially returned DA Legion would be: I don't see the Lion forgiving Luthor when/if they meet. Luthors last memory (if I recall correctly) is the furious and ragefuelled face of his adopted son, so... yeah, doesn't seem like El'Jonson was in the mood to give any more foregiveness beyond a sword through Luthors neck.
in the book luther luther doesnt believe he will be forgiven merely stating only the lion may pass judgement, i think luther is expecting to die when he meets the lion again, to him either way he has made amends
"Where it stopped. A shudder - a rare sensation - ran down the Changeling’s borrowed spine, the shadow of an instinctive reaction born from its time wearing mortal flesh. Skin prickled and the servos in the illusion of its power armour whirred as its fists clenched. Around it, for the first time since it had set events in motion, Fate buckled
There was something at the far end of the cell corridor. The Changeling could not so much see it as sense the absence of the aether around it. To the daemon’s warp-sight, the thing was really an un-thing, a black void without tangible thoughts or emotions to define it.
The daemon tried to look upon the un-thing with Azrael’s flesh-eyes. It was diminutive in size, its form hidden beneath the thick folds of a bone-coloured cloak, as though in imitation of the Lion’s sons. The shadows beneath its deep cowl were utterly impenetrable, as dark to mortal eyes as its soul-presence was to the Changeling’s warp vision.
It did not move. It did not have to. The Changeling found itself taking a step back, the daemon’s flesh quivering. Fear was something the Changeling could not feel, only feed upon, but the sight of the un-thing watching him from the shadows caused the daemon an indefinable, icy discomfort.
The Changeling could not stay here. It could go no further. This part of the wider plan was unnecessary anyway, a mere addendum to the ritual that would carry the daemonic trickster away, and drag the Lions with it. The Changeling doubled back the way it had come, the cells untouched. Fate’s weave morphed, the future a newborn, fresh entity."
God I love this so much. Thank you!
God it's like poetry. The first time fear itself felt... afraid.
Tzeench: One shudders to imagine what anathema thoughts lie within that cowl...what dreams of chronic and sustained cruelty.
Slaanesh: No I...I ain't talking about those freaks, alright? They're not here, are they? I GOTTA GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE!!!
Khorne: I fear no man, aliens, or Gods. But those...THINGS...they scare me.
Watchers in the dark
Certified short kings👑
Mysteries are the spice of a setting !
I’ve got this fancy that they’re waiting for the right moment to « recreate » a Caliban protected by reunified D.A. To replace Cadia as fortress against the eye of terror.
Ditto! Mysteries keep things interesting and exciting but, considering all the unknown things in the lore that GW has revealed in the last few years or so, I worry that questions like; what are the Watchers? Who were the 2 Astartes legions erased from history and why? What happened to the lost Primarchs, and all the other questions that keep the fans wondering and debating amongst themselves, will all in turn be revealed. Ending forever every theory voiced of such things and the imaginative reveries some of us would then walk in that world.
They got Star Wars. They got Star Trek. They even got Tolkien..... I won't be holding my breath for their 'reimagining' of 40k to ensure that, "it better reflects the world we live in today ".
@@Pangolin-Mandolin GW isn't likely to do that. They may have some retarded business decisions in the past regarding their IP but they know for damn fucking sure that their readers and players are here for the universe as it is. Making alterations so that it's more "safe" will just alienate the player base, resulting in a net loss, and they know this. GW is retarded, but they aren't fucking brain dead.
Sometimes you need to answer the mysteries, it won't break the universe, and after god knows how long, people deserve an explanation for some things, especially the missing Primarchs.
@@starhammer5247 Yeah, I get where you're coming from. Because, you're right, GW (although always keeping 3rd party access to their I.P. severely limited and restrictive) have made some questionable decisions about how to use their I.P.s and since the big shake up, a decade or so ago, they've been much better about when, where and how they do things (including licences). And, taking into account how super anal they've always been around that stuff, upon hearing about Henry Cavill and Amazon doing a 40k series, there is good reason to be optimistic. But, (and I hate to use this) look what has come before. The Tolkien estate was usually pretty strict on what could be done and not....now we have, "Women are always the best at everything ever, men are always stupid, aggressive or duplicitous and white man bad!". They did that to Tolkien! And at the same time proclaim (without a hint of irony or sarcasm) about how proud they are with what they created. Star Trek hurt. The, 'Rings of Power' actually made me angry. Henry Cavill has always come across as a class act and I just hope that he can put actions behind his words. But regarding, the lost legions....no!!!! Keep it a mystery where contradictory hints of their origins surface from time to time....😉
@@Pangolin-Mandolin Amazon also released Invincible and The Boys, those shows seem to be doing well. GW have already hinted that the Eleventh Primarch is held in the Dark Cells underneath the Emperor's Palace. They've released scraps of information on how the Eleventh was apparently one of the most loved of their brothers and how the Second was prideful for a Primarch. They're slowly unveiling the information for some sort of massive pay-off. There are some secrets that need to remain secret, such as the Watchers, but other secrets need to be revealed at some point. Also, as you said, GW is extremely anal about their IP. If some dumbass tries to fuck with Warhammer lore to push an agenda, like making Space Marines girls or gay, they will pull that fucking plug faster than Perturabo left the traitors when Horus fucked him over.
@@starhammer5247 Dude! Yeah, I forgot (the Boys, etc.) I guess there maybe is a bit of light at the end of the tunnel.... I get where you're coming from with the 2 legions. It definitely seems that GW is readying the stage for a, "McDonald's rerelease of it's Shesuan (?) sauce" type of reveal. Something people have been thinking about for a decade+ with uncertainty, suddenly being answered. Like you, half of me really wants to know wtf happened but, once they answer that, one of the biggest mysteries in 40k no longer exists... as much as I want to know, just as much of me doesn't at the same time.
But, yeah, not all I.P.s adapted for the screen have been destroyed, so there is room for cautious optimism. But, with that said,.....The Rings of Power is going to act as a deterrent for a long time. They did that shit with intent.
The only one that gets hurt is Azrael's when he kicks it after he gets frustrated at it for talking.
Also obligatory asking Majorkill for a Mini of the late Old Man.
