The lore of the space marines is incredibly vast and complex and in lou of making a single 30-60 minute deep dive on them, I plan on giving each chapter and each of their iconic units their own dedicated video. Today we are going to take a deeper look at the Psychic power house that is the Space marine librarian! from their purpose, equipment, history and even a deeper look at the legendary powers they can wield! with that out of the way, lets dive head first into the grim dark.

Okay. Stop, stop, STOP! Psykers can't be standard astropaths, that's a designed genetic mutation and astropaths are part of a specific house and bloodline, which are inbred to ensure the mutation is dominant.
Secondarily, few librarians wear blue. Grey Wolves, Dark Angels, Blood Angels, Mephiston himself, the Grey Knights, plus countless others.
What's going on? You are normally far more accurate in your lore.
He got sponsored by the furry pr0n game no
To quote my co-worker who saw me watching this; "I guess Librarian's have a more interesting job in the far future huh?"
He's not wrong though!
Lmao
Won't have to "shush" me twice.
In the grim future of humanity, there is only reshelving.
Not just the future, but the past as well
A small reputable community, a study and scholar rather than public servant caretaker/book janitor
Amongst old scholary institutions this was true as well, it’s just been destroyed in our modern day, as have many things

The Hive Mind about to attack Mephiston : "Oh good, delicious psychic food. With the Shadow in the Warp to protect my creatures, it will quickly be a nice appetizer."
Mephiston : *channels his powers so good he actually overpower the Shadow in the Warp and produce a fire hurricane.
The Hive Mind : "Food too hot ! Food too hot !"

Librarian's are some of my favourite Space Marines just for how powerful they can be,yet how restrained they need to be to hold off damnation. Now that's good Grimdark.
Ya I agree!
They are one of the coolest things in warhammer in my opinion
lets face it, Librarian does need equal to or greater than Jedi's level of self control to control their intense abilities. I do see the connection to the dark side of the force and the warp
Yeah I love Mephiston and the imperial fists librarian who has amazing foresight and uses it to navigate their ship . They are some of the most powerful in the setting .
@@DeathScepter The warp isn't just a negative. All positive things manifest to the warp the same as negative things, so the warp is kind of like the whole force in Star Wars, except the warp is also a dimension unlike the force.
one of the primarchs are back and your talking about this? That's Heresy right there and I'm calling The Inquisitor
Wait what? Who came back???
Please tell me I beg of you to bestow me this knowlege
@@N2O_The1000thElement search online. its everywhere.
@@N2O_The1000thElement the lion my friend! rejoice!
@@N2O_The1000thElement the Primark of the dark angels himself!
I love the stormseers! By far my favorite librarians. Yesugei is one of the coolest characters of the entire heresy. I also like how jaghatai and the white scars didn't seem to give the shady eye to yesugei and the stormseers. Yesugei was pretty much jaghatais favorite and most beloved advisor and he had such a human side to his personality. He was funny and joked like all the time. Just a great character and an awesome librarian. Dude was a beast! His death brought a tear to my eye
Well, Mephiston by example is such a strong librarian, he bodied a few Daemon Champions of the Chaos Gods and made Magnus look freaking stupid, so, a few of them are almost equals to their Primarchs.
Mephiston is an anomaly as he is able to still use a substantial amount of his power while in the presence of the Shadow in the Warp. And he’s said to be the host of the Angel of Darkness. So yeah he is incredibly powerful
@@evanlight2550 And yet he doesn't even get a +1 to cast in the psychic phase of the game like every other chief librarian. Sadge
To be fair to Magnus, making him look like a fucking idiot isn't hard. This man really went "Hmm, Dad told me not to go into his study and don't play with fire... IMMA PLAY WITH FIRE IN HIS STUDY WHILE HE'S TRYING TO WORK!"
In all seriousness, Magnus tried so damn hard and I think his soul got shattered for the effort so I'm not sure how that affects his Psychic potential.
Amazing how bad writing is just "the character is just that good!" When it's the Imperium as the subject matter.
Imo already equal to a primarch. He is the strongest psyker in the imperium based on raw power.
I'd say there's a further difference between a sorcerer and a psyker. To be a psyker you basically must be born as a psyker, possessing some psychic potential to tap the warp for power.
While anyone at all can become a sorcerer, you just wouldn't necessarily be able to do all the things a sorcerer that is also a psyker would, or not as easily.
What you learn to do as a sorcerer is a combination of asking or compelling the various critters of the warp to do things that benefit you by doing various things in realspace, and also ways to control the energy of the warp in a limited fashion, again by doing various things in realspace, these are often completely nonsensical things such as speaking gibberish prayers while performing hand signs and brandishing implements stained with various foul substances, and so on, and the result is almost like cheat codes for reality.
There also exists ACTUAL console commands for reality in the 40k universe, and these are so powerful that even the few daemons that actually know some rarely teach any of these to mortals.
Not sure how accurate it is but years ago I heard that sorcery in its entirety is the source code of reality with varying levels of effectiveness that's why you can have a planet with few if any psychers and still have choas outbreak they teach some poor smuck of an average joe just enough to LET THEM IN. Also the stuff they teach to sorcers is fluffed up with useless bulk so mortals can't actually master Sorcerey it's made dangerous purposely so their door openers don't last long.
For those consoles commands are you referring to enuncia
@@pariswashington5543 Dude, spoilers! XD
@@Reddotzebra 😂
Ohh that language...majorkill said something about
I like how the librarians are always held at arms length because of how dangerous they can be, unless you’re the grey knights, in that case no one cares cause everyone’s a psycher
Or the Black Templars, where an arms length is not nearly enough...
Or a blank when the librarian just seizures on the floor like a drunk fish
Arm's*
Now all we need is a grey knight that's a blank and just let him loose on the warp
I saw a librarian once. He was carrying a staff of such immense size he could have riden it like a broom.
I told him to do a kick flip and then ran away. I made down it a whole hive level before I was hit in the back of the head by the librarian's serf, whom he had hurled on a hurricane wind, while shouting "Four!"
He seemed to be disturbed by this and started counting up "five... six..." when he reached seven he turned into an puddle of goo, and splashed on the boots of a passer by. This is all I saw before falling over the railing. I am falling still. I think I am about half way through the main down drainage pipe, somewhere in the mid-level of the under hive.
Really good wifi down here though.
Are you still falling?
I take it they stopped falling, lets take a moment to remember.
*splat*
ARE YOU STILL FALLING?
@@theenderdestruction2362 as if in response to your question, a sound echoes in your mind. It puts you in mind of a bucket of water being thrown at a wall. It sounds like a splat.
You look down and see a fading red smear on the ground infront of your feet and what looks to be the remains of a vox unit in the corner of the room. You can just make out the word "samsung" on one small piece.
Something bad happened here.
I swear the 40k lore is an endless rabbit hole. The first time I read about librarians, I wanted to know more about psychers. Then I found the ranking system (alpha to omega). The I read that an alpha plus psycher can fold a titan in half like a piece of paper. Then I found out what a titan is...long story short I can completely understand why they get shot the moment they are found.
As always an amazing dive into the lore. Thanks a lot :)
And then there are psycherd that send planets and moons trough the warp.
And then there's the blanks which I wouldn't be surprised if they had their own ranking system we just never hear of it
@@theenderdestruction2362 6 months later to respond but, yes there is a ranking system within the blanks!
@@Takunoyume really? Huh all I know is there was supposedly a blank with the title of black something and that was basically a opposite emperor
If you want a good example of how OP librarians can be. Mephiston freezes time and causes aneurisms in a bunch of Eldar pilots all at once and talks about how he can literally bring a dead pilot back to life but decides against it and simply takes control of the ship and guides it to safety
I love this! I'd love to see further deep dives in other units like Chaplains, Techmarines and maybe a xenos/chaos unit or two
absolutely! please do this wes!
I have always loved the White Scars and Jaghatais nature. From the beginning the Stormseers held many similarities to the Space Wolf rune priests they didn't pull directly from the warp. Leman Russ despite fighting to ban all use of psychic in the legions did not adhere to the edict lay down by the Council of Nikaea since he still used Space Wolf psykers refusing to admit they were psykers.
Which I'm sure Magnus just LOVED to see
"But Furry boy still gets to use his powers cyz 'UhM AkTuALy iZ frUM mA PlaNeT'"
@@kharnthebetrayer8251 He wasn't the only one who found Russ obnoxious in that regard. Heck, as far as I know, only Angron and Kurze didn't deride Russ as a hypocrite on the subject of psykers at any point.
Much appreciated, Wes. Your output and quality are consistently top notch. Thank you!
I’d love to see a “literature guide” video or section at the end of your videos.
For example, as I watched, I kept asking myself, “ I wonder if theorems a book that shows an aspirant climbing the ranks to librarian…”
It would be great if you could give us book recommendations for all of your topics. I’m sure it’s a big lift but I know I’d love to hear it!
Theorem's*
So nice to be back, I finally got into Warhammer with a killer deal of four minis and 2 books for 15 bucks and I am back to binge these lore vs videos
Surprising you didn't mention The Grey Knights who are essentially an entire chapter of Librarian Astartes.
Technically, no. They're all psykers, but not librarians. The difference is that all of them are trained to be exceptional at resisting the warp, but only the librarians are trained at using it. I'm not sure if there are any actual numbers, but there's no reason to assume they have a lot more librarians than most other chapters. The best I can find is 'only a handful ever achieve the levels required to be a Librarian'. As far as power levels go, other chapter Librarians will still massively outperform Grey Knights.
@@Shade01982 And what do you think Librarians are prior to becoming Astartes? Psykers. Even the Emperor is classified as a Psyker and he's far more powerful than all of them combined. Every single candidate for Grey Knight goes through the most extreme training, more so than any Psyker or Librarian in any organization, then upon completing of those insane trials, they are mind wiped, given a name that is arcane and designed to be painful to any daemon that hears or dares attempt to speak it. Their mere presence causes pain to entities of the warp and will vaporize the weakest of them.
They also carry the geneseed of the Emperor, which that alone would make them far more powerful than any Astartes chapter, even Primaris.
This to me is like saying a regular astartes could outperform a custodes, which is laughable.
@Zanderfel It's not what they were and where they're going. First off, Grey Knight capabilities are massively overstated. Like your examples, you seem to think they are almost comparable to Sisters of Silence and/or Cystodes, which is just too much. As for big boy's geneseed, that's a nice rumor they'd like to perpetuate, but was never 100% confirmed lorewise. Don't forget that all primarch were also created from his geneseed, which in turn is used by all space marines. Big E was just very good genetics. Even their codices never really directly stated how much it was directly derived from him. They've purposefully left it vague, like they like to do with so many things.
They are specialists, but they are still just space marines, just with very specialized training. They stand above normal space marines, since they do have access to more advanced equipment, but not *that* much. This is easy to confirm, just look at their tabletop stats.
Grey Knights Librarians have a far different training, and not only that, have far different responsibilities. They are responsible for the GK's inner sanctum, which is not accessible for 'ordinary' Grey Knights.
@@Shade01982 No, I use to think they were as powerful as Custodes, but after many content creators said they're not as well as those from the Lexicanum, I stopped believing that.
Sisters of Silence tho, they are a sisterhood of Nulls, and IIRC nullify any psyker's powers, sometimes causing the psyker to go insane. So can't really compare the GK to them either since their powers would just be cut off by the SoS.
Only one they can't nullify is the Emperor, even being near him gives them heavy migraines so they naturally keep their distance from him.
I do know that the Primarchs are essentially his clones, but clearly they are not direct clones (differing thoughts, opinions, beliefs, powers, and heck only Vulkan was confirmed to be a Perpetual while the others were not).
And besides, if being a clone was really that big of a deal, then shouldn't the Custodes be just as powerful as the Primarchs rather than being stronger than the Primarchs? Custodes are definitely not clones, yet they are stronger than basically everyone.
But yeah, in terms of power and whatever, how I rank them: Custodes, SoS, Primarchs, GKs, Primaris, and Astartes.
Tabletop I never paid attention to tho, I only pay attention to the lore. Every edition of the table top changes the stats of all factions, what they can do, etc, whereas the lore doesn't pretend like "oh they never could do this even though there's a book stating otherwise".
Besides, too broke for the tabletop stuff and not enough interest in it.
Dude I can never get enough of your videos, they are some of my favorite ways to absorb the lore since fixed income makes it hard to get the books or build my army(Ad-Mech). Would you ever consider doing a Tech-Marine deep dive? I've been obsessed with them ever since I read the Salamander's Omnibus and Master of the Forge Argos had some awesome moments.
I’ve wondered about the Librarians, and now I’m VERY intrigued! Thanks again Wes! You are on fire with these videos!
I know this is one of your older videos but can I just say that you and your content has helped me in such a peculiar manner. Like I love Warhammer lore and learn it from multiple sources but it's when I'm listening to your videos that I feel it.
And those feelings have helped put my own life into perspective on levels I had had never thought of prior. Thank you for your content, hard work and variety of uploads.
Its so good that the librarians are getting their own terminators
At 7:25 all i could think of when Wes was talking for the explanation of psykers having to share the burden was the two psykers from the short film series Astartes with the twin psykers on that with the golden masks !
How soon will Wes start taking about the Lion and the Dark Angels? Will you do a collab with other creators for this special occasion with the return of the Lion?
I would of course like to have one right away but I'm not one to just try to rush something out as fast as possible. There's research to be done! As far as collabs, I am always up for that!
@@weshammer ok. Did you happen to see my email about Adeptus Ridiculous contact info?
I love you're videos they are what got me into Warhammer and I'm glad I did and can you please do a video in the future of all the best librarians in each legion that uses them
I just love your book narrations. Always a huge pleasure
So, I was wondering if a deep dive video could be made on the ecclesiarchy as a whole. I have listened to your video on the Adepta Sororitas I dont know how many times. It was very informative, but it made me wonder about the church and the lectitio divinitatus. I have so many questions. Thank you for what you do, and keep on being one of the best sources of information about the Warhammer 40k universe.
Man I really appreciate the lore, your time in making this video, and all the research you've done.
I wonder how the librarians compare to the grey knights
Lore*
@@GeronimoPlaz
I stand corrected.
My favourite unit! I love Librarians so much. I play Paladins in D&D and any chance I get to play an armoured wizard, I’ll do it. I only hope you mention the Primarch responsible for the creation of the Librarius.
Loving the longer videos Wes❤️🙏
Have you ever thought about putting this out as a podcast? I listened to the whole thing without looking and thoroughly enjoyed it 😊
Very nice work Wes! Loved the video, yet I would like to ask you if you could make a video about Apothecaries or Animal Companion Space Marines or other classes of universal warriors that operate with animal/creature companions. Greetings and love from Greece! Keep up the awesome work!
Another great video, thank you Wes!
Will you make a similar video about the eldar? Their psykers are an interesting topic, and I would be glad if you could elucidate the difference between a seer and a warlock.

Do you have new tech accounts?
Dude could you maybe do a video on the different helmets, theid significance and who wears them?
Like who arevthe dudes with that sick skull helmets?
Finally a content showing the worth of my brothers.
Is that like special thanks to my youtube subscribers on TH-cam? :)
I love my mages and Psykers are what got me into 40k, gread vid dude.
anything you can think of with this deep dive format from characters to zenos to characters I NEED MORE HERESY!!!
Thank you for the video, it helped me get through the day.
Man theas episodes just keep getting better.
I was a fan when of the Soul Drinkers Librarian/Chapter Master Sarpedon “The Hell”, where he manifested what he felt were the great feats of his enemies into shadows that would attack.
Mate i really like your deep dives! Second (or maybe third 🤔) time im going through your vids!
"An open mind is like to an open wound. Vulnerable to poison. Liable to fester. Apt to give its owner only pain."
Geez, you've gotten better and better as a content creator Wes. I enjoy these videos, as well as your voice. Keep it up, man!
Thanks I really appreciate that!
@@weshammer You're my source of 40K lore. I watch these as soon as you release them. I especially enjoy the deep dives into the grimdark.
The auto captions for this are killing me. 😂😂😂😂. At 12:08 instead of Lexicanum, it reads as Alexa condom.
Absolutely dying with laughter over here. But regardless another great video! ❤
With beasts like the Lion and Guilliman and then next level Psykers like Mephiston, Tigurius, Alpha Primus, and such the Imperium has a counter to Deamon Primarch's and the forces of Chaos. They are amazing characters and the Blood Angels, White Scars and such have my favorite ones.
Another outstanding upload. Thank YoU
Amazing stuff as always , I listen to your stuff all the time during my painting sessions , ❤❤ loving it keep it up , only thing I can ask pleas can you do some lore behind age of sigmar warcry pleas that would be amazing and maybe something different
Wes got 1 thing wrong here...in one of the Horus Heresy books Garro sneaks onto the Phalanx to recruit a former Imperial Fists Librarian into the Knights Errant. Unless I'm miss remembering
Nice job as always
Thats sick man. I can't wait to read about mephistion!
Great video dude
Cool video.
Apothecary or tech marine video next?
So to put it into dnd terms a chaos sorcerer is a warlock while a librarian is a wizard. Makes sense
Reminds me of the time a tzeench chaos player had a pink horror fail a perils test and turned into a demon prince and it got mobbed to death by tankbustas… all in the same round. It was beautiful
Hell yeah, Weshammer Fridays
Librarian terminators huh? Yeah I sure do love teaching the hulk buster magic
Also note that it was jaghatai khan that created the framework and foundational principles of the librarius
Another great upload! Do you have any other pages that you post to with warhammer content? An IG with some of your painted models and personal collection would be sweet!
Great episode! 👍 👌
As a dyslexic, you going over these vids is amazing really got me talking about Warhammer to all my friends now 😂 keep up the great work man! Love your vids!
Can you do a Deep Dive on Space Marines Chaplains? That would be a great vid!
Ngl the psyker from Tacticus made me really appreciate librarians. And interceptors, I friggin love their designs
I wonder where’s the librarians in the world eaters chapters?
Oh ,never mind😳
Thanks for turning Angron into a Daemon Prince, Lorgar.
Glad to see some Soul Dinkers art in there.
The Imperial Fists did have a librarius before Nikea. I am fairly certain in one of the later Horus Heresy books it is seen that rather than return them to the ranks Dorn has the librarians sequestered on the Phalanx
Oh that's interesting! I will have to look into this!
@@weshammer [Book Excerpt|Garro]Rogal Dorn's treatment of his psykers post Council of Nikea.
I apologize in advance for any grammatical errors or issues. This is transcribed from the audiobook. Parts I have bolded were things particularly emphasized by the narrator.
Context: Captain Nathaniel Garro infiltrated the Phalanx in an effort to persuade the Imperial Fists librarian Massic to join his order, only to find them locked into their own sanctum from the outside. Upon unlocking and entering their section of the ship the librarians attack him.
>The Imperial Fists outnumbered him (Garro), but he held them at bay with unparalleled focus and skill. Massic grimaced, advancing. He let his brothers move in a swift faint then he stuck, swinging the axe hard. Their blades met and locked, sparks flying. Massic glared at the trespasser searching his expression for some understanding of why he was here. “Who are you?” he hissed and for a moment he allowed his emotions to take the upper hand. A flicker of pscionic power sparked across his thoughts. Despite his iron self-control in the melee some tiny fraction of Massic’s preternatural power brushed across the mind of his opponent. A flash of insight came to him - the briefest glimpse of why the legionary had come to the seclusium. The shape of his intention was almost within reach but then the moment broke like brittle glass as a new force entered the chamber, the burning stony mind of a warlord.
>“**CEASE,**” shouted Rogal Dorn in a voice that had ended battles and split mountains. Hard as granite - radiating dark fire, his psyche eclipsed everything else in a silent inferno of pure will. “By my command put up your weapons.” None dared defy the order. Dorn filled the chamber with the great weight of his presence. His aura the very echo of the mailed fist upon his ornate armor. Flanked by his housecarls the primarch of the Imperial Fists threw his stormy gaze across the psykers and watched them each sink to one knee bowing their heads. Massic followed suit - as did the grey armored intruder. Dorn was a son of the Emperor, a walking fortress of a man more invincible and unyielding than any construct of stone and steel.
>Few could have had the courage to meet his gaze without flinching but to Massic’s surprise the veteran warrior did so. “Well met lord Dorn.”
Something like surprised flickered on the face of Massic’s master before quickly vanishing again. “Nathanial Garro. I wondered if our paths might cross again. Did **he** send you?”
>The warrior named Garro looked away, “With all due respect my lord…I believe you already know the answer to that.”
>Dorn’s eyes narrowed and he gestured to one of his men, “Take him to my chambers. I will have words with this one.” Massic watched Garro sheath his blade without resistance and walk away in custody. As he crossed the Seclusium he threw Massic a nod. A gesture of respect perhaps? “Your isolation should not have been disturbed,” Dorn said tersly, “Those responsible will be punished. Return to your isolation.” He moved away towards the threshold of the hatchway, “The gate will be secured once more.”
>“Master?” The librarian spoke before he could stop himself. Dorn halted but did not turn back to face him. “My lord, before you leave us if I might ask of you,” he mustered his will to put forward the words, “how goes the Great Crusade?”
>The Primarch was silent for a long moment. The question, not what he had uttered but the true question hung unspoken in the air between them - When may we return to our legion? Dorn’s tone became grim, “Matters have become complicated. It is a crusade no longer. It is a war now. A war of brutal dimension and great sorrow.”
>Massic drew himself up to attention, “We stand ready to serve.”
>When his gene-father replied the psyker heard sadness in the words, “I know you do my son. I know.”
**Another section later on after Garro and Dorn had spoken for awhile.**
>The Primarch walked away towards the towering windows looking out on the blackness of space. When he spoke again it was with stern unbending conviction, his brief flash of liberality extinguished. “Do not test the tolerance of the Imperial Fists again. That warning is to you and to Malcador. Make it clear to him.” He waved him away, “You are dismissed Captain Garro. Take what I have given you and **leave**.”
>Garro bowed, his thoughts churning - but still he hesitated a moment longer. He could not leave without one more thing said, “Lord Dorn, your warrior Massic. He has great insight that goes unheeded in his current confinement. There will come a time where you will have use for him and his fellow librarians once again.”
>“I value Massic’s insight more than you know,” Dorn spoke over him, “the Sigillite believes I act out of ignorance and fear. He does not understand. The Librarians are **precisely** where they need to be.”
>Garro’s brow creased, “Locked in a vault? In the bowels of your fortress? They mark time like condemned men waiting for the scaffold."
>“No,” Dorn corrected, “They stand ready; close at hand in the heart of my legion. **I** will choose the right moment, Death Guard. Not you. Not Malcador.”
>“You ask much of them my lord.”
>The father of the Imperial Fists nodded grimly, “These times ask much of us all.”
@@weshammer It's in some Horus Heresy short stories where Imperial fist librarians are ,, imprisoned,, on phalanx and later in Siege of Terra they get unleashed by Dorn when Phalanx get assaulted by demons ( 1st Siege of terra book)
Also Honorable mentions are World Eaters librarians, they tried to prevent Angrons ascension but sadly they got overpowered by Lorgar)
@@weshammer Also in HH dark angels novel the chaplains existed long before Nikea, and there is case when Lion gets attacked by demons and orders librarian to unleash his powers, but his chaplain is against it wiling even to stand against his own Primarch, sadly Lion kills him there on a spot....
Mephiston's psychic attack is even more impressive when you consider that the nids would be interfering with their Shadow in the Warp
I have this idea that there can be salvation for each 40k clan, where they finally become powerful enough to end the endless wars. Something like those endings in mk10.
For orks, they find out about their warp powers and manage to think unbelievable horror of machinations into this world and obliterate competition.
For Oomans, i would think anything major that would cause the emperor himself, the man, THE human to rise from that chair and guide all humans to the inevitable victory.
Im not that familiar with other races so yeah sorry.
Good video, I do want to know more about power weapons though. Do just psychers use them?
Ok now I know why I love Chaplins so much. They are all honorary Black Templars 😂❤. The only observance of the overturning of nikia was when Malcador allowed his knights errants to use their powers unsanctioned becoming the grey knights
Great Video.
Fantastic lore video! Your deep dives rock. (Also, it's "lieu' not 'lou') :)
Great video.
I know you just uploaded this deep dive but I have a (maybe dumb/stupid) question: Are there any plans on making Adeptus Mechanicus deep dive or is it already work in progress?
It's a work in progress. I plan on doing one for every faction. Normally I make a video based on what I'm inspired to make right in that moment. I feel like other lore videos don't incorporate nearly enough novels into their videos. So with mine I like to have at least a handful of novels under my belt when I go to make a video on a faction. So far the only mechanicus focused books I've read are, Mechanicum (Horus heresy) Brutal Kuning, and the great work. After I've read priests of Mars and maybe one or two more, I think I'll be able to tackle them and do them justice.
@@weshammer thats great to hear, also appriciate that you have more sources to make sure that the things you write and say makes sense since every author has their own way to portray things/events, you are gonna make Belicarius Cawl and the Divisio Investigatus very happy.
Great video thanks
Hey
Just wanted to let you know the original thumbnail caught my eye😂 definitely made me do a double take but this one's good too
Considering the existence of Eldar Exodites, I wonder if Rune Priests and Space Sharks Librarians are _actually_ drawing from something similar to the Exodites' World Spirit instead of directly from the warp.
My guess is the edict of nice was de jure made null and void after the siege of Terra. Some legions already ignored it (white scars, DA)
you know when I heard the description of the Blessing of the Machine, I'm just imagining a Librarian yelling "WAKE THE FUCK UP!" to the machine spirit using their psychic might
20:19 nice fanart about agri world using leman russ as an argicultural harvester
Thumbnail made me lol, 10/10
Love how I click on the video and a warhammer tacticus ad comes up 😂😂 I love the TH-cam algorithm "SOMETIMES"
Would you consider doing something like this for apothecaries? And maybe chaplains?
Don't forget how Varo Tigurius become the most wanted man in Tyranid bounty list... 😆
Thank you wes! I've been so curious about these fellas

the thumbnail of this video kills me lol
You’re the best!
Man, the more i think about it. Warhammer 40k is absolutely dope.
(I'm new to Warhammer btw)
Love the concept of psykers. What loyalist astartes faction uses them the most?
grey knights, their members are ALL psykers
It still shocks me how Korne hasn't corrupted the shit out of the black templers.
There has to be one ship that's got a skull fetish.
Black Templars are too based for that. Who needs to sell its own soul to that foul skull addicted creature of the warp when you are literally so angry that you scare world eaters?
This makes Magnus really proud
In the 42nd millennium, I think the council of nikea is kinda like the law in NYC that taxi drivers have to keep a shovel in their cab. Nobody actually enforces it, because enforcing it makes no sense.
Greyknight starts laughing about librarian concept :D
Glad to see the second thumbnail won.
Great thumbnail 👌 😂
The Old Ones were like strong psykers, so much so that they could create new species. So yeah, Warp has some serious power!
And when you think how strong a psyker the Old Ones were, then is it so ridiculous to think they mayhap became the Chaos Gods after Death or possibly some apostheosis.. That's my own weird head canon..
Like ever seen how much a Slaan, which are often depicted as the Old Ones, looks like say Nurgle? Khorne? As they are often depicted.. And The War in Heaven, first war... New species? Birth of life, disease and decay unlike never seen before the Old Ones..
Are you planning on doing videos for other specific HQ Astartes units? Like Chaplains, Tech Marines, etc?
Sure am! I've been toying with a chaplain script recently
@@weshammer sweet! My High Chaplain in my Blood Angels successor draws from the old history of the chapter and takes the same name and consumes some of the predecessor’s blood, so their high chaplain “never dies”
Now imagine if The Emperor ever cut loose
You know im surprised you didnt touch on the shadow wardens,corvus coraxs elite guard turned specialized assasins of the raven guard,there one of the few raven guard who have inherited a part of coraxs umbral power,aka wraith slipping
Fun fact,kayvann shrike,the raven guards current chapter master can wraith slip
When these librarians tell you to be quiet in the librarius, you really should listen
Will you make any more short horror stories like Out and The Watcher In The rain?
I did another one called perditions flame! If you haven't watched that yet you should check it out!. But yes, I do plan on continuing the series. We're going to dive into the horror anthologies next!
@@weshammer My bad, man, when I said Out, I actually meant Perdition's flame(which was awesome btw) because I didn't really like Out(no offense), but enjoyed The Watcher and Flame
@@weshammer We will be waiting!!!
