And he's right. The so-called "chaos gods" are not true gods. That's just a title they vainly gave themselves. They are immensely powerful extradimensional beings, true, but they are not gods. They are formed from the ideas and emotions of mortals, not the other way round.

That's the thing isn't it? In a very real way, that's exactly what the Chaos "gods" are. Weather. Just a particularly grand formation of warp shit, no more worthy of worship than a hurricane, and bound to rules and dictates that form the very essence of what they are like that hurricane. The mortals with their souls and soul-like constructs make those rules, the Chaos does little more that reflect that back at them. They are, in a fundamental way, nothing. A reflection could hurt you, crush you any number of ways, but it's still just a reflection.
Such a good scene. You root for Bile's sheer brass balls for saying, not quite to Slaanesh's face, that he denies Its existence. But at the same time, you get a sense of how small he is. He's not weak, but as he's asserting his rational mind's power over the god, his organs are failing. The being he doesn't believe in is about to kill him, and it hasn't done anything but smile, its name hasn't even been spoken.

Despite being a traitor to the Imperium and turning away from the Emperor, Fabius still remembers the Great Crusade he was part of and the Imperial Truth all Astartes stood by.
@@AGenericFoolNah, Fabius isn’t even close to the top 100. Like, top 2,000,000 (counting every space marine currently alive, and not any others [like Belisarius, Guilliman, Lion, etc]) at most.
Fabius calls out Chaos for what it is - a meaningless echo of sins past. A purposeless storm, a blind beast seeking only to feed itself as much as possible before it drives itself to extinction. A thing of power, but so is a hurricane, or a supernova, and such things are not gods. He recognizes that Chaos only has power because people allow it to have power. They look in the mirror of the universe, broken and warped by the War in Heaven, and cry out "THIS IS THE TRUTH!" Fabius looks and sees nothing but shattered glass given the illusion of sentience by the sheer number of people who look at it.
Fabius is also one if not the last follower of the Imperial truth and has a pretty good point about the state of the Imperium as is his quote that emperor would not want to become god/worshiped 10/10 Space Mengele
indeed when the emperor communes with guilliman he says abomination and apotheosis in the same sentence, seemingly the emperor hates that he is being worshiped.
@@hagalathekido the irony that he humiliated Lorgar and his legion for worshipping him, leading to Lorgar worshipping the chaos gods and causing the Horus heresy and Big E gets worshipped by the Imperium anyways.
Fabius' logic holds up if you think about it. Slaanesh - and all C Gods - were created by the species of the material universe. Their emotions and actions. From Fabius' perspective he (and trillions of other souls) simply created some vast abomination in the warp. Powerful, yes. But not a god. For a god creates their subjects, not the other way around.
@@InVinoVeratas .....well, he didn't intend it, but he DID dabble with it the warp and its gods while making the primarchs. Now if he used Perturabo's approach it would have turned out very differently. Of course Pertruabo wouldn't be Pertruabo if Emps batted an eye. It is a "Damned if Do, Damned if Don't" situation for him.
Which makes it hilarious that they are just the most awful and brutal characters in the setting. Shows that the original vision for the imperium wasnt really all that to begin with.
Slaanesh is suppose to embody the desire of those who look upon them. The fact that Fabius sees swirling stars and cold moons...makes me wonder *what* he truly desires. My best guess? He wants to be vindicated in his belief there is no divine, only his own genius. However, I can't really say. I'm always fascinated by the servants of the ruinious powers that claim they don't serve them.
He wants a world free of chaos, free of blind zealotry and where the mind is free to explore and innovate. Not too dissimilar to what the Emperor wanted.
It's crazy to say, but Fabius still believes in the dream of the imperium. A dream void of gods and demons built on science, the Emperor's vision for humanity. @@TheThing4444
He pretty much the only guy still following the imperial truth from 30k. Not that that's necessarily a good thing or not. The Emporer was not a good person either, comiting genocide and xenocide.
@@joevines3428Bit of a rant following but I want to say my take Good person and "was doing the only things possible to keep humanity alive" are different things Was the Emperor a good person? No Was the Emperor doing things that were necessary to protect humanity? I think so Correct me if I'm wrong but some xenos were allowed sanctioned status even within 30k such as Jokero. From what we can see, the Iterex (The aliens not the abhumans) would have been granted sanctioned status were it not for Erbus' scheming and the theft of the Anathame And, well, the galaxy of 40k is definitely not a friendly place. Long term peace with: - the orks - The eldar - The tyrannids - Most minor species - Possibly the necrons Are not feasible and directly threaten the long term survival of humanity without some substantive change. There are xenos the imperium could negotiate with, yes (such as the t'au) and IMO the emperor would have favoured sanctioned status for such Xenos...if he wasn't [effectively] dead This obviously also applies to mutants. Look at how many types of mutant are sanctioned and how they WERE treated in 30k (emphasis on WERE) (e.g. beastmen were given whole auxiliary regiments in the solar auxilica and treated on even footing) Basically: I think that the imperium of 40k is an entirely separate beast from that of 30k. In the absence of the Emperor's [admittedly cruel] wisdom, it has learned all of the WRONG things. The imperium of 40k: - Failed to understand why the Emperor told them to be suspicious of xenos (Misunderstanding it as bland hatred instead of self-protective scepticism in a harsh galaxy) - Failed to understand why to be vigiliant of mutations (for it is not because they are "unclean". The imperium interpreted the threat of mutants by the result instead of the cause. As in, in more plain terms, the servants of chaos are often marked by mutation BUT not all mutants are servants of the dark brothers) - Failed to understand The Emperor's oppression of religons (Failing to see how misplaced faith is Empowering the dark gods) and much more ...at least IMO TL:DR: Emperor was doing terrible things, unjust things, for the greater good With the logic that the Ends (The survival of humanity) would justify any means
It's a spawn of Chaos named Greed-Sloth that manifested into our reality. It's utterly worthless. What it symbolizes holds more power than it does. It is absent of nutritional value, inadequate tensile strength, negligible medical applications, etc. It isn't even desirable for improvised asswipes lol
I vaguely remember an excerpt of Fabius talking shit to some Blood Angels about how Big E would DESPISE his current situation and what the Imperium has turned him into: A Religious Icon. It was in one of James Swallow's Blood Angels books.
When you understand what Chaos truly is... one would be right to say "there is nothing there." Chaos is a reflection of our universe. All of the thoughts, feelings, emotions, actions of countless trillions of beings all feeding into a handful of more clear and vivid reflections. You stare at them, and they stare back. You are captivated, enchanted, horrified, curious, disgusted... but then you realize you are simply looking at yourself. There is nothing there. Only a reflection of what you are.
Bile flat-out rejects the concept of daemons' existence with such unyielding stubbornness that, because of how the Warp works, it actually _weakens_ them. It's like he's refusing to believe in their existence so hard that it literally makes them _exist less_ when they're in his presence. Absolutely astounding, this man.
No he knows they exist. He just doesn't believe they are thinking beings or gods. And they aren't. They are solidified trauma, suffering and anguish. Remember the war in heaven and it's aftermath killed off more than 90% of the Milky Way galaxy more than 60 million years ago in the lore. The chaos spawn is what you get when you flood every river in Europe with dead bodies basically. Clogged as fuck and prone to surging flooding and churning like a massive blender.
Yeah, later in that book one of daemonologists said that he never saw his bound daemons react in such a way to someone: with hatred and fear at the same time. Because Fabius refuses to acknowledge their existence, they start to fade away in his presence, so they hate and fear him.
@maltheri9833am I missing something or are u slow? ALL-POWERFUL, it is in the name. Wich means I can do whatever tf I want.

@@funaccount7665I mean this is 40K we are talking about. Warp madness can be used to write off pretty much everything without actually having to even stretch.

I think I have watched this video a dozen times already. I can't get over it. The combination of voice acting and sound design for such fitting dialogue is sublime.
Demons claim not to be addicted to their "gods", yet when deprived of their influence it's suddenly "No, let me out of the quiet box, I'll die without the gods!" These addicts really need to get their lives together
@@EnbyOccultist Isn't that because they are more or less literal fragments OF those Gods? And without that tether to them, they do wither and die in a very permanent way?
What Fabius winessed here is often referred to as a "shadow of Slaanesh," an infinitesimal fraction of her unfathomable being. To gaze *truly* upon a God of Chaos is impossible and incomprehensible. They are living archetypes; concepts given sapience and form.
Concepts are ideas not sentience, Emotions are fleeting and transient. As much as that galactic tumor masquerades as sentient it is a slave to its own concept and emotion that it feeds off of actual sentient beings it has no purpose other than to feed and grow, it doesn't think beyond its capacity to eat its hardly even a animal more akin to a bacteria or tumor that has gotten out of control and needs a good excising. It doesn't think therefore its not.
@@HappyHog11that's been retconned out. The Chaos Gods are supposed to be incomprehensible by any mortal mind. To see their shape is impossible and would drive someone to madness
@@Guille2033this reminds me of an interesting video on yt that argues Lovecraft stories do not work in film when you SHOW the cosmic horrors, as the entire core of the thing is that the human mind is driven crazy even vaguely being aware of them, let alone seeing them. It was a good point.
I adore the sonorous menace in the voice of the Quaestor when it said it was always there. And that sorcery is so crude to it, that simply seeing reality as it does is comparable to great sorcery.
@valeon7303 the silver knight of Slaanesh: a Grey knight who was able to breach the Palace defences, but dropped to one knee as soon as he saw the Prince. Fabulous Bile: "Am I supposed to be impressed?"
This man is legitimately the scariest villain in 40k. Stared down the full face of a Chaos God focusing their whole mind onto him, making him suffering organ failure in the process….. and he’s like “ bah you barely even exist anyway” and moves on. HE WAS UNMOVED BY THE LITERAL FACE OF A GOD.
I mean, as great as this moment is let's not oversell it. He, for about a second, glanced at Slannesh's shadow and almost died, because they hid themselves away again. He's not more powerful than them just because he thinks he is.
I very much like how the background music (Slaanesh trying break into Bile's mind) dies down after Bile says: "Gods are for the weak. I am not weak." Slaanesh is forced to agree. "No." :)
He transfers his brain in young clones of himself (with perfect hairline), but everytime, a little bit faster than before, the genetic flaw comes back (with recessing hairline and tumors and stuff) and weakens him until he has to move to another body again.
There is something deeply fascinating about Bile's atheism. To him it's not just a belief that there is no higher power, it's an unflinching conviction that any kind of power that may or may not exist in this world is not higher than him. He doesn't deny the existence of gods, he denies them their divinity. Which is metal af
This channels mix of dark esoteric tragedy and humor in equal measure, while at the same time laced with the lore of the warhammer, got me subbed scrub.
What people miss about this passage isn't that Fabius isn't denying that Slaanesh _exists_ but that Slaanesh is worthy of being acknowledged as a _god._ Or even being acknowledged by a name. He denies their "jurisidiction" over them. And that's not as insane as it seems, because the Chaos Gods draw power from recognition and ceremony. They do draw power from worship. Secondly, it's Chaos's propaganda that they're "Primordial Truths' instead of leeches feasting off of emotions. Other gods have existed before them, so they're not as eternal or as important as they pretend. A "confluence of celestial phenomena" isn't too large of a stretch.
Exactly Fabius is very smart to deny them because to acknowledge their false reality feeds them. They are just warp tumors that should be ignored when possible or fight them when ignoring is not possible.
"You have committed crimes of such monstrous elegance that even the gods themselves grow uneasy." If you can make Slaanesh, the Choas god of pain and pleasure, uneasy then you have truly ventured into brand new territories of special.
I like how faced with the horror of a chaos god, suffering through multiple organs failure and reality warping around him, Fabulous Bill straight up Atheismed his way to survival.
To put it into a human perspective. Go get blackout drunk to the point you can't stand or think, absolutely push your limit. And then refuse to fall. Then you'll feel a one 1000th of what Bile felt in that moment
Slaanesh themself: stares at Fabulous Bill and starts wrecking his body Fabulous Bill: chugs two red bulls and says "nope, nothing there but space farts!"
I come back to this video ever so often, and in barely 6 minutes you get so much story! And I absolutely love how defiantly hard "Gods are for the weak." goes followed by an exhausted yet still defiant "I am not weak."
This is by far the best depiction of someone interacting with a Chaos God I've ever seen, the eldritch unknowable vastness beyond comprehension is just deliciously portrayed.
Lol that's like saying Night Lords are devoted to chaos, because they wear chaos stars sometimes and have spiky armor, when they openly abolish the gods and dedicate themselves fully to their own entertainment and needs.
What difference would it make for Slaanesh to claim his soul now, when he could entertain her so much more alive? She'll get his soul eventually if she wants it, its not like Big E would go out of his way to tucker Fabious'es soul in after his death.
Playing "Hard to get" with without hiding in the Webway and looking right at her is probably a literal first (or a second if GW ever touches upon the lore of the only other Astartes to meet Slannesh in person.)
Nah if you read the trilogy you realise Slaanesh loves this because they love obsession of any kind... and what better servant of Slaanesh than a man devoted to perfecting his craft, utterly rigid in his belief that gods aren't real, and yet does everything that Slaanesh wants? And that's why Fabius is Slaanesh' favorite follower.
Uriel and Pasanius, 30 second trip on the daemon engine: _power armor officially shat._ Fabius Bile, looking She Who Thirsts dead in the eye with no protection: "Ain't nobody up there, chief. The warp just does that sometimes."

Desciples series had same moment where demons got so impresed by local duke's abuse of its subjects that entire mission were dedicate to recruiting him.
Makes you realize why some of the legions and primarchs fell. People say oh its dumb that they would turn to Chaos, but being a superhuman doesnt make you a saint. Everything superhumans will do will be super, be it for good or evil. Giving delusions of extradimensional power to beings of demi god levels of ambitions, anger, hate, hubris, etc. Would definitely lead some of them down this path. The Astartes are the best and worst of humanity taken to the nth degree. Think of all the outright monstrous things some of the "greatest" humans in history of done. Chaos is one hell of a drug
I think an interesting one for you to do would be the conversation Vorx has with Captain Dantine. Would be an exercise in range jumping from something cold and calculating to somebody shitting their organs out in fear.

I did not get that from this video. Near the end of the video it felt more like he was trying to convince himself.
Dude insulted Slaanesh to his/her face, resisted having his soul swallowed, and Slaanesh was all like "Understandable have a good day."
Either Slaaanesh gets to eat him or Slaanesh gets to edge really hard about wanting to eat him. Either option pleases Slaanesh!
And surprisingly didn’t get all “giggity giggity” all over Bile either. No sex here, time to move on. 😂
Yeah even slanesh doesn't enjoy indigestion by the sound of it
"You've got chops, doctor... you can have this one."
You could say Bile's denial was... Excessive
Fabius is also one if not the last follower of the Imperial truth and has a pretty good point about the state of the Imperium as is his quote that emperor would not want to become god/worshiped
10/10 Space Mengele
indeed when the emperor communes with guilliman he says abomination and apotheosis in the same sentence, seemingly the emperor hates that he is being worshiped.
@@hagalathekido the irony that he humiliated Lorgar and his legion for worshipping him, leading to Lorgar worshipping the chaos gods and causing the Horus heresy and Big E gets worshipped by the Imperium anyways.
Fabius' logic holds up if you think about it. Slaanesh - and all C Gods - were created by the species of the material universe. Their emotions and actions. From Fabius' perspective he (and trillions of other souls) simply created some vast abomination in the warp. Powerful, yes. But not a god. For a god creates their subjects, not the other way around.
True, true. And he actually weaponized it.
Based.
Are you unfamiliar with the concept of idolatry? Was a whole ass religious movement in the ancient world.
So since sentient beings like humans and our thoughts and emotions created chaos demons and warp creatures does that mean we are actually their gods
@@commissaryarrick9670 technically... in a certain way
Bile: there are no gods
Peter Turbo: gods are my bitch
Truly these men are as the Emperor intended
Peter Turbo kek.
@@InVinoVeratas .....well, he didn't intend it, but he DID dabble with it the warp and its gods while making the primarchs. Now if he used Perturabo's approach it would have turned out very differently. Of course Pertruabo wouldn't be Pertruabo if Emps batted an eye. It is a "Damned if Do, Damned if Don't" situation for him.
petulant manchild
Both of them are wrong lol, Fabius is one of slaaneshs favorite playthings and peter became a daemon
Which makes it hilarious that they are just the most awful and brutal characters in the setting. Shows that the original vision for the imperium wasnt really all that to begin with.
"I will fulfill your every desire..."
"You can't. You don't exist."
"What? Hey? You- you can't just ignore me like that! HEY. HEY!!!"
*Fabius takes more Adderall, Slaanesh slowly fading away.*
Slaanesh: i'm a new god, and i'm interested in you-
Bile: nuh huh
Bro just pressed "Mute and Ignore" button
“Blocked and Reported”
"He looked up, and something looked down." As epic as this entire scene is, this line alone is spine chilling
Slaanesh is suppose to embody the desire of those who look upon them. The fact that Fabius sees swirling stars and cold moons...makes me wonder *what* he truly desires. My best guess? He wants to be vindicated in his belief there is no divine, only his own genius. However, I can't really say. I'm always fascinated by the servants of the ruinious powers that claim they don't serve them.
He wants a world free of chaos, free of blind zealotry and where the mind is free to explore and innovate. Not too dissimilar to what the Emperor wanted.
It's crazy to say, but Fabius still believes in the dream of the imperium. A dream void of gods and demons built on science, the Emperor's vision for humanity. @@TheThing4444
Whatever he desires, even the god of desire cannot provide.
He pretty much the only guy still following the imperial truth from 30k. Not that that's necessarily a good thing or not. The Emporer was not a good person either, comiting genocide and xenocide.
@@joevines3428Bit of a rant following but I want to say my take
Good person and "was doing the only things possible to keep humanity alive" are different things
Was the Emperor a good person?
No
Was the Emperor doing things that were necessary to protect humanity?
I think so
Correct me if I'm wrong but some xenos were allowed sanctioned status even within 30k such as Jokero. From what we can see, the Iterex (The aliens not the abhumans) would have been granted sanctioned status were it not for Erbus' scheming and the theft of the Anathame
And, well, the galaxy of 40k is definitely not a friendly place. Long term peace with:
- the orks
- The eldar
- The tyrannids
- Most minor species
- Possibly the necrons
Are not feasible and directly threaten the long term survival of humanity without some substantive change.
There are xenos the imperium could negotiate with, yes (such as the t'au) and IMO the emperor would have favoured sanctioned status for such Xenos...if he wasn't [effectively] dead
This obviously also applies to mutants. Look at how many types of mutant are sanctioned and how they WERE treated in 30k (emphasis on WERE) (e.g. beastmen were given whole auxiliary regiments in the solar auxilica and treated on even footing)
Basically:
I think that the imperium of 40k is an entirely separate beast from that of 30k. In the absence of the Emperor's [admittedly cruel] wisdom, it has learned all of the WRONG things.
The imperium of 40k:
- Failed to understand why the Emperor told them to be suspicious of xenos
(Misunderstanding it as bland hatred instead of self-protective scepticism in a harsh galaxy)
- Failed to understand why to be vigiliant of mutations
(for it is not because they are "unclean". The imperium interpreted the threat of mutants by the result instead of the cause. As in, in more plain terms, the servants of chaos are often marked by mutation BUT not all mutants are servants of the dark brothers)
- Failed to understand The Emperor's oppression of religons
(Failing to see how misplaced faith is Empowering the dark gods)
and much more
...at least IMO
TL:DR:
Emperor was doing terrible things, unjust things, for the greater good
With the logic that the Ends (The survival of humanity) would justify any means
Bile: "I don't care WHO the IRS sends I am NOT paying my TAXES!"
"The IRS is a construct of the mind. I don't 'owe' anyone anything."
It's a spawn of Chaos named Greed-Sloth that manifested into our reality. It's utterly worthless. What it symbolizes holds more power than it does. It is absent of nutritional value, inadequate tensile strength, negligible medical applications, etc. It isn't even desirable for improvised asswipes lol
A sovereign citizen if the 41st millennium.
No wonder people hate the guy.
Huron in a nutshell

5:00 "There are no gods" Funny how Bile is closer to the original Emperors beliefs than just about everyone in the current Imperium.
The Lion and Bobby G both exist. They only tolerate the church because removing it would do more harm than good to humanity now.
well that is intentional the mirror image of Bile and the Emperor
mephistone said the same thing.
Bile loved the emperor.
I vaguely remember an excerpt of Fabius talking shit to some Blood Angels about how Big E would DESPISE his current situation and what the Imperium has turned him into: A Religious Icon.
It was in one of James Swallow's Blood Angels books.
I would listen to the whole book narrated by you. Was legit disappointed that this video ended
same
No disrespect to John Banks but listening to Fabius's books with his voice paled in comparison to this
Bro looked slannesh in the face and fr said ,” double it and give it to the next person”
When you understand what Chaos truly is... one would be right to say "there is nothing there." Chaos is a reflection of our universe. All of the thoughts, feelings, emotions, actions of countless trillions of beings all feeding into a handful of more clear and vivid reflections. You stare at them, and they stare back. You are captivated, enchanted, horrified, curious, disgusted... but then you realize you are simply looking at yourself. There is nothing there. Only a reflection of what you are.
Bile flat-out rejects the concept of daemons' existence with such unyielding stubbornness that, because of how the Warp works, it actually _weakens_ them.
It's like he's refusing to believe in their existence so hard that it literally makes them _exist less_ when they're in his presence.
Absolutely astounding, this man.
Actually sort of similar to what happens to daemons in the Emperor's presence.
No he knows they exist. He just doesn't believe they are thinking beings or gods. And they aren't. They are solidified trauma, suffering and anguish. Remember the war in heaven and it's aftermath killed off more than 90% of the Milky Way galaxy more than 60 million years ago in the lore. The chaos spawn is what you get when you flood every river in Europe with dead bodies basically. Clogged as fuck and prone to surging flooding and churning like a massive blender.
Dorn has a similar ability
It's tied to having a powerful force of will. Sisters of Battle experience a similar thing when it comes to Daemons.
Yeah, later in that book one of daemonologists said that he never saw his bound daemons react in such a way to someone: with hatred and fear at the same time. Because Fabius refuses to acknowledge their existence, they start to fade away in his presence, so they hate and fear him.
Fabulous Bill owns a Choas god with FACTS and LOGIC.

All-powerful? Yeah, let's not get carried away.
If this is what atheists consider “all-powerful” then no wonder they’re atheist.
@maltheri9833 that's leagues away from all powerful.
It's like saying Usain bolt is faster than light because he won the Olympics.
Yeah, i will give you "extremely powerful" but all powerful is too far.

Wich means the whole hunting down eldar in the webway, the great game and all of that doesn't make any sense. 40k wouldn't make any sense... it doesn't make sense to begin with, but then it would be way worse.
All-powerful itself doesn't make any sense and is debated across philosophy.
This guy channeled his inner scrooge and told the void "youre just undigested beef"
"MUSTARD BLOT," howled the traitor, eyes narrowing. "CHEESE CRUMB! *UNDERDONE POTATO FRAGMENT.*"

Fabius Bile: "Bah, Humbug!"
Fabius' voice goes from synthesized to growling when he tore off his helmet. Nice touch.
I would literally pay for a whole narration of this book. Everything in this small excerpt is amazing.
Is it not already out in audio format?
Not narrated by him, so that doesn't count.
>crimes of such monstrous elegance that even the gods themselves grow uneasy
This must be a direct reference to his joint venture with the Drukhari.
Bro watched his legion degenerate into daemon possessed freaks, and his Primarch become a living avatar for a god and said "nah, still an athiest."
"ah yes warp madness the only rational explanation"
@@funaccount7665I mean this is 40K we are talking about. Warp madness can be used to write off pretty much everything without actually having to even stretch.
I think it was because he saw what happened to his brothers and Primarch that he said no thanks and fuck you!!!
Its like saying you watched the whole world go through a pandemic and didn't became an automatic nurgle worshipper.

2:44 "This court holds no jurisdiction over me."
- Fabius Bile, Grimdarkest Sovereign Citizen of the Galaxy
Originally by King Charles the 1st on his trial.
Ok but the depiction of Slaanesh in this passage is actual cosmic horror and I'm here for it.
Fabius "When?"
Slaanesh "I am the whetstone of desire. I am the asker of que-
Fabius "NO I mean when did I ask *for your opinion?!* "
The god of desire walked straight up to Fabius, and he just said "Don't care, I wanna make my funny abominations."
Chad
He's so scientific in his thoughts that his explanations actually challenge the existence of chaos
Fabius isn't denying Slaanesh exists, he's denying any divinity. Fabius believes the chaos gods are manifestations and reflections of the materium.
And Fabius is exactly right. That's all they are the stubbornly clinging to existence trauma of long dead species turned interdimensional parasites and thieves
Your Bile is so good that you got me to buy the audio books. I'm enjoying them immensely, I only wish it was your voice.
Makes my day to hear this
The Quaestor's "No" to "I am not weak" after looking at Slannesh in the face and turning away is crazy chilling to me.
I think I have watched this video a dozen times already. I can't get over it. The combination of voice acting and sound design for such fitting dialogue is sublime.
Fabius Bile, probably one of the only adherents to the imperial truth left in modern 40K
Slaanesh: “I am a god, worship meeeeee!!11”
Fabulous Bill: “No.”
Slaneesh:"i am the whetstone of desire"
Bile:"literally who?"
*Who what?"😈
"+Didnt ask."
Didn't ask plus you are female

That’s fucked up. Imagine looking up into the night sky and seeing _the stars themselves leering at you._
Thank you for making such amazing dubs. Its always awesome

What Fabius winessed here is often referred to as a "shadow of Slaanesh," an infinitesimal fraction of her unfathomable being. To gaze *truly* upon a God of Chaos is impossible and incomprehensible. They are living archetypes; concepts given sapience and form.
Concepts are ideas not sentience, Emotions are fleeting and transient. As much as that galactic tumor masquerades as sentient it is a slave to its own concept and emotion that it feeds off of actual sentient beings it has no purpose other than to feed and grow, it doesn't think beyond its capacity to eat its hardly even a animal more akin to a bacteria or tumor that has gotten out of control and needs a good excising. It doesn't think therefore its not.
I dunno GW has official art of Khorne and I can gaze at him just fine
@@HappyHog11that's been retconned out. The Chaos Gods are supposed to be incomprehensible by any mortal mind. To see their shape is impossible and would drive someone to madness
@@Guille2033 might drive you to madness, I’m just different
@@Guille2033this reminds me of an interesting video on yt that argues Lovecraft stories do not work in film when you SHOW the cosmic horrors, as the entire core of the thing is that the human mind is driven crazy even vaguely being aware of them, let alone seeing them. It was a good point.
I adore the sonorous menace in the voice of the Quaestor when it said it was always there.
And that sorcery is so crude to it, that simply seeing reality as it does is comparable to great sorcery.
Emperor: Explains the Warp
Bile: "That makes perfect sense, thank you."
Damn, bro was able to look away from a god. Badass
Not only that, but the god of pleasure who has no demons guarding their fortress as to look upon slaanesh is to fall to their will.
@valeon7303 the silver knight of Slaanesh: a Grey knight who was able to breach the Palace defences, but dropped to one knee as soon as he saw the Prince.
Fabulous Bile: "Am I supposed to be impressed?"
what god? there is nothing there.
This man is legitimately the scariest villain in 40k. Stared down the full face of a Chaos God focusing their whole mind onto him, making him suffering organ failure in the process….. and he’s like “ bah you barely even exist anyway” and moves on. HE WAS UNMOVED BY THE LITERAL FACE OF A GOD.
I mean, as great as this moment is let's not oversell it. He, for about a second, glanced at Slannesh's shadow and almost died, because they hid themselves away again. He's not more powerful than them just because he thinks he is.
I very much like how the background music (Slaanesh trying break into Bile's mind) dies down after Bile says:
"Gods are for the weak. I am not weak."
Slaanesh is forced to agree.
"No."
:)
Fabius Bile can clone himself several primarchs but can't fix his own hairline
Iirc he can, he just doesn't want to change his body
>Implying Fabulous Bill isn't already perfect.
The illness afflicting him and the early EC's is warp based. He can't fix it.
He is not vane...in that way. He cares not to impress anyone by his looks.
He transfers his brain in young clones of himself (with perfect hairline), but everytime, a little bit faster than before, the genetic flaw comes back (with recessing hairline and tumors and stuff) and weakens him until he has to move to another body again.
Remember kids, if you ever feel the presence of chaos, no you didn't
The Chaos gods are waves in a pond.
They can move you, but they have no purpose. Just undirected energy.
There is something deeply fascinating about Bile's atheism. To him it's not just a belief that there is no higher power, it's an unflinching conviction that any kind of power that may or may not exist in this world is not higher than him. He doesn't deny the existence of gods, he denies them their divinity. Which is metal af
This VA work is immaculate. Gave me straight goosebumps with how ell delivered all of these lines were
This channels mix of dark esoteric tragedy and humor in equal measure, while at the same time laced with the lore of the warhammer, got me subbed scrub.
What people miss about this passage isn't that Fabius isn't denying that Slaanesh _exists_ but that Slaanesh is worthy of being acknowledged as a _god._ Or even being acknowledged by a name. He denies their "jurisidiction" over them. And that's not as insane as it seems, because the Chaos Gods draw power from recognition and ceremony. They do draw power from worship. Secondly, it's Chaos's propaganda that they're "Primordial Truths' instead of leeches feasting off of emotions. Other gods have existed before them, so they're not as eternal or as important as they pretend. A "confluence of celestial phenomena" isn't too large of a stretch.
They aren't legit gods any way. Things that just play roles as gods.
Exactly Fabius is very smart to deny them because to acknowledge their false reality feeds them. They are just warp tumors that should be ignored when possible or fight them when ignoring is not possible.
"You have committed crimes of such monstrous elegance that even the gods themselves grow uneasy." If you can make Slaanesh, the Choas god of pain and pleasure, uneasy then you have truly ventured into brand new territories of special.
It's the cloning Primarchs thing. Metaphysics violation
I like how faced with the horror of a chaos god, suffering through multiple organs failure and reality warping around him, Fabulous Bill straight up Atheismed his way to survival.
To put it into a human perspective. Go get blackout drunk to the point you can't stand or think, absolutely push your limit. And then refuse to fall. Then you'll feel a one 1000th of what Bile felt in that moment
Slaanesh themself: stares at Fabulous Bill and starts wrecking his body
Fabulous Bill: chugs two red bulls and says "nope, nothing there but space farts!"
My guy stared down a lovecraftian horror and said "ok, and"?
I come back to this video ever so often, and in barely 6 minutes you get so much story!
And I absolutely love how defiantly hard "Gods are for the weak." goes followed by an exhausted yet still defiant "I am not weak."
This is by far the best depiction of someone interacting with a Chaos God I've ever seen, the eldritch unknowable vastness beyond comprehension is just deliciously portrayed.
I keep coming back to this video not just because of how well the writing is, but because of the dub too. Please do more stuff like this. Its amazing

What difference would it make for Slaanesh to claim his soul now, when he could entertain her so much more alive? She'll get his soul eventually if she wants it, its not like Big E would go out of his way to tucker Fabious'es soul in after his death.
Playing "Hard to get" with without hiding in the Webway and looking right at her is probably a literal first (or a second if GW ever touches upon the lore of the only other Astartes to meet Slannesh in person.)
Slaanesh's whole thing is breaking people's beliefs and moral values, she would literally fucking hate this lol
@@amongusgaming123 nah this is just edging don't worry about it
Nah if you read the trilogy you realise Slaanesh loves this because they love obsession of any kind... and what better servant of Slaanesh than a man devoted to perfecting his craft, utterly rigid in his belief that gods aren't real, and yet does everything that Slaanesh wants? And that's why Fabius is Slaanesh' favorite follower.

Desciples series had same moment where demons got so impresed by local duke's abuse of its subjects that entire mission were dedicate to recruiting him.
Slaneesh must delight in just how excessively Bile denied their existence. He truly is one of their greatest followers.
“It takes a strong man to deny what's right in front of him. And if the truth is undeniable, you create your own”-John Konrad
Makes you realize why some of the legions and primarchs fell. People say oh its dumb that they would turn to Chaos, but being a superhuman doesnt make you a saint. Everything superhumans will do will be super, be it for good or evil. Giving delusions of extradimensional power to beings of demi god levels of ambitions, anger, hate, hubris, etc. Would definitely lead some of them down this path. The Astartes are the best and worst of humanity taken to the nth degree. Think of all the outright monstrous things some of the "greatest" humans in history of done. Chaos is one hell of a drug
