Culexus assassin: a living nightmare
Eversor assassin: Florida man
"Eversor assassin: Florida man" I laughed when I read that, partically the "Florida" part
@@jamesdeegan7365 my uncle lives in florida im just waiting to see when he becomes the florida man on tv because for some godamned reason its always some florida man

Vindicare: Patience, dedication, focus
Callidus: Sabotage, Espionage, deception
Eversor: Wrath, fury, terror
Culexus: weaponized depression
So, he's like the joker then?
Ain't the joker more weaponized anarchy than depression?
Pysker abilities are a mental mutation henceforth I vote to classify it as *Weaponized Autism*
Not to mention weaponized NOPE as a stealth field.
Moist Nurglite Lover That’s Malice’s domain, though he also uses a lot of blanks as well
Culexus Assassin: * Exists *
Eldar and Chaos: ( SCREAMS IN ABSOLUTE HORROR)
Necrons: (Laughs menacingly)
Not having a soul....
Necrons: *happy robot skeleton noises*
Tyranids: Confused om nom noms

Orks: Spookie humies
Psych-Out Grenades: packing the Emperor's skin flakes into a flashbang to mind-blank the enemy.
40K is absolutely mental.
Weaponized Holy Dandruff. Because no Shampoo was worthy of taming the Holy Scalp.

@@nickdahl203 well, to be honest, at this point shampoo would probably just dissolve more of poor old big E's fleshy bits off rather than clean him.
Skin flakes 😂
Once i brought my Grey Knight army to a tournament. Literally got taken down by a single Culexus.
Lore accurate
I'm kinda surprised there's no radical inquisitor that goes around summoning Daemons just to throw a Culexus at them.
"WHO DARES SUMMON ME!!!!"
Culexus:"Hello!'
"Feck"
Said Inquisitor was probably killed. Summoning daemons is the most likely way for an Inquisitor to lose his job.
@@robertnelson9599 the radical parts of the inquisition would like to know your location..... For totally different reasons than to use you in demonic summoning rituals in order to perma kill some demons.
Jury is still out whether or not you can kill a daemon for good, though if you can this would be the way. Only problem is that most demons are not worth killing since they will be instantly replaced. And more powerfull ones, the ones with a reputation and a track record are all but impossible to summon specifically.
@@Self-replicating_whatnot I'm fairly certain that Blanks or more specifically, pariahs that have been trained in the culexous temple would be able to perma kill any unlucky enough low-mid tier demon that happened to get in said pariahs way.
However I think once you get to even the "weaker" greater demons then there's more than likely almost no way to completey kill it. Unless emperor, or emperors sword. Maybe if a ludicrously powerful Imperial saint got born, it might be powerful to outright kill a demon, but the Saint would have to be like at least 3 celestine's put together in terms of strength before it would even be feasible....
@@Self-replicating_whatnot It might be worth it though, there is finite number of Daemons known to humanity, and thus possibly known to Heretics, aye?
Mean that if we permakill them heretics are shit out of luck and will have to fetch new Daemons without any knowledge how to and who to summon.
Granted, Permakilling Heretics is still the best way.
Universe: *_"...and then I made Blanks, because f@_**_#k_**_ those psykers, the Eldar in particular. Seriously, to Hell with the Eldar."_*
They already damned themselves to 40K hell, Universe didn't have to do anything.
I think you mean
Necrons: *"...and then we made the Blanks, because fuck the Eldar!"*
@@ornu01 those bastards literally fucked a hole in reality. Of course the universe decided to give them one extra screw you for that kind of nonesense and made blanks. Just to make sure the fuckers get the message that nobody likes them.
@@Darknessblade4me The Eldar don't get that no one likes them even after you crush their soulgem and raise a laspistol to their empty skull. And I do mean empty, every Eldar has a singed, burnt, or exploded hole where a brain would be on any other bipedal species.

Nice, wholesome, Eldar bashing
Vindicare: I’m liked because of a fanfiction
Callidus: I’m noticed because I’m a model and have a incredibly wonky lore
Evesor: I am loved because I’m a psychopath and meme material.
Culexus: I’m just here
Every other assasin: At least your noticed!!
There’s other assassins?
Would that be 'A world of bloody evolution' or the one with the Farseer?
@@mivapusa Both probably.
Nightlock I chuckle when I think of the meeting. Think all of the founding assassins meeting for the first time... and then founder eversor enters.
Baker Tankersley I doubt the Eversor would be able to communicate due to effectively all of his red blood cells having been converted into meth
"found her working as a pleasure girl." "came across her in the course of his investigation.'" Inquisitors usually spend that much time around pleasure girls?
If the individuals they are hunting make use of said call girls, then yes. Eisenhorn literally found Bequin because the seditionary/cult members he was after had also been Bequins customers.
@@stephenflint3640 yep
Yeah, Bequin was "partying" with some guys who were renting an suite that Eisenhorn raided to track down a chaos cult. He was also a psyker so he knew what she was instantly and decided to take extra care not to kill her. He wanted to use her abilities for himself.
Carson B Order Xenos? Yes. Genestealers tend to hide in that population usually. Think about it.
Eisenhorn was a pimp
In a setting full of monsters, These are the truly soulless ones.
they are the ginger… THE GINGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Literally.
I don't get why not having a soul would bother a big brain boi so much, grimdark is grimdark.
Blank: I remember when i cared about anything. Oops i forgot.
Dejan Nincic Chin up, you helped bring Magnus back home to the Emperor
Ironic because doesn’t most of the TTS crew not like Arch?
@@BeratLjumani Who said that?
Dejan Nincic one of the women I think her Avatar is a Chaos sister of battle I believe.
@@dejannincic9671 EgoQueenAlexis got triggered by Arch in an RP, and then got white-knighted by 40k-cuckolds like 40k theories and Luetin09 if I recall correctly.
So Culexus assassins are all “soulless” heh. Weaponised gingers it is.
Asperger/Ginger mix
fbussier80 an asperginger if you will
I once ran a game of Dark Heresy. One player was a blank and a ginger. They were also the squads close combat specialist. Ordo Hereticus team, chasing a Tzeenchian cult. It was a surprisingly light hearted game looking back thanks to the ginger.
Gingers are people?!
gives new meaning to "Red Alert."
When you can't punch the enemy, punch their very soul.
Did the Emperor found this one himself?
Punching an enemy’s soul seems elegant in my opinion
@@gammaspector Psychic Emperor-punches in all psych-out grenades confirmed
Well their grenades are made from the"poo" from the golden throne.
@@erikrungemadsen2081 If by "poo" you mean anti-psychic dust, than yes.
gammaspector a more elegant method for a more heretical time when I punched my sons soul out of existence
Vindicare Sniper: It's the God Emperor's job to judge heretics, it's my job to send them to him.
Culexus Purger: Lol no.
Is that a quote from Putin
@Lord of lead there's a lot of variants of that quote from the US Military
In the Blood Angels Horus heresy book "Fear to Tread" they discover a pariah who survived a chaos infestation when everyone else died. Maybe the Ordo Malleus discover them when investigating incursions given that most ordinary humans die in seconds, so blanks stick out like sore thumbs as the only survivors.
Most followers of Chaos will kill pariahs on contact, seeing as they cannot rely on any Warp based powers when in a Pariah's presence.
@@robertnelson9599 but if it's mostly demons then they wont be seen. After the demon incursion most people will be killed by the summoned daemons and so a blank has a much higher chance of survival
Let hive worlds with trillions of inhabitants be overrun by demons in order to find 1 or 2 blanks :D
@@Kalenz1234 considering how overpowered the Cullexus are, seems like a smart trade to me. Honestly these guys are a plothole, as realistically they could end basically every big bad in the setting who isn't a Necron.
38:00 There was a DnD roleplayer who made a half-orc rogue and maxed out the Strength stat. He would then walk to the enemy and yell "YOU NO SEE GRUNK !!", thus, intimidating NPC into not dtecting him. This is basically the psychic version of that technique ;7
This is more like Corvus Corax's super psychic sneaking skill. (read that last part out loud)
Gotta say, glad you added that account of the Alaitoc Farseer, as it's one of the few times when Eldar get to be awesome in 40k lore.
In the story, the Farseer's driven by the loss of his sister at the hands of a Culexus, which as mentioned, is particularly grim for an Eldar (Jury's out whether it's worse than She Who Thirsts). However, despite having the temple at his mercy, he picks the safety of his people over his own well-deserved grudge - Something few characters in 40k seem to do, humans being just as arrogant as the Eldar on the whole. It's just nice to have Eldar getting to do cool stuff, and not exist for the purpose of getting krumped by humies.
Could there be a child who is a blank that is found by the astarties turned into a space marine? Because anti psycher marines would be terrifying.
I dont see why not, that would be interesting, a chapter of psychic blanks, and everyone hates their fucking guts for existing.
They wouldn’t survive the process of becoming a Space Marine. This is possibly due to the fact that the Emperor was extremely psychic, and the Space Marines use his genetic material (somewhat indirectly).
Probably one of the missing legions 1 was forgotten the other wiped out by the wolves
I feel like it could work potentially because none of the gene seed organs are inherently psychic in nature. But again I am not entirely certain, all I know is that they and the grey knights would fucking hate each other XD
The astartes indoctrination process would detect them as soon as a librarian would be even near. A chapter would not be as efficient if it opted to keep the candidate ( and risk the dangers of the process ), they have more to gain by signaling them more "adequate" organisation.
Talk about how Culexus blend in reminded me of this clip from some DC animated series, where a thug notices Batman sneaking around, the two look at each other, and the thug just walks away
So i kinda find it hilarious that the greatest weapon/defense against Chaos, one of the biggest threats in 40k, is something that most people would just kill as soon as its born. We really are fooked when it comes to chaos and the warp, its a massive danger for humanity, but as soon as we get near something that is the best most safest thing to protects us from it, our first reaction is to hate and dislike it.
Also the Culexus are fooking terrifying, you know its really a monstrosity when it causes demons to want to run away from it.
.........and the Imperium still insisted on giving them skull masks because “needs to be scarier”.
That's Chaos for you, the best means of fighting it are too terrifying for the Imperium to use except in the most sparse and desperate of circumstances, if they allow these methods at all.
The Caluxis temple doesn’t use gingers because while they may be blanks they are too uncontrollable.
imagine if the entire temple invaded the warp they could do a lot of damage to it and those that dwell there hell if there were enough of them they might be able to fully break the warps power for good or at least long enough for the imperium to ensure it was ready for its return
The only thing that they're missing is an acid gun.
I...I don't get it.
@@essex3777 Acid purges all things, acid is the omega, the purifier, the great ender of heretics, daemons, and xenos.
@@ornu01 I thought that was fire
@@essex3777 Fire is the budget version of acid.
@@ornu01 And acid is the dollar store version of nukes in the purifying/sterilization department.
So the Culexus weapon snuff out the soul directly huh. I can imagine Dark Eldar would put the dying at the hand of a Culexus to be on top of their best way to die list as it at least guarantee their soul won't be introduced to Slaanesh dragon dildo collection.
Dragon dildo? You kidding, Slaanesh uses chainswords.
@@Khornecussion but I thought each tooth on the chainswords was shaped like dragon dildos?
It's odd that it was the Culexus that assassinated Aun'Va, the supreme Ethereal leader of Tau. High Lord send a whole team for the task. The Vindicare was trying to take down military commander Farsight, failed and was hunted down. Callidus impersonated an Ethereal, and almost got to Shadowsun, but the Callidus smelled wrong. Eversor did his usual thing and took a tremendous effort to be put down. The Culexus assassin just walk through the entire Tau command structure (shorting out AI drone, the normal Tau warrior simply didn't see them or was sickened by the assassin's aura). Aun'Va's personal body guards tried in vain to slow him down to no avail and the assassin did the deed.
They're honestly probably one of the most powerful things in the setting. Top Ten, Maybe top 20 easily.
when you want to assassinate someone down to their SOUL
How to spot a blank:
Hey remeber that quite kid from class who did nothing wrong but absolutly got bullied by everyone including you? Yeah me neither, but chances are he was a blank.
So I'm a blank?
There was a kid in my class who wasn't disliked by anyone but he just faded into the bckground so well that he'd frequently get passed over during roll call. Which now that I write it down sounds incredibly unlikely
Culexus Assassin: Sir, I have an idea on how we could gather more recruits.
Master of Assassins: What is it?
Culexus Assassin: The odds of a blank being born from two baseline humans is extremely low. But what if two blanks have a child together?
Master of Assassins: O.O
(one year later)
Culexus Recruiter: Okay, here is what is going to happen. You will remain here and fuck like rabbits for the rest of your lives and give up any children produced to become operatives. In return, we will endeavor to make your stay here as comfortable as possible....and we won't kill you. Sound good?
but wouldn't their pariah gene make them want to vomit while being next to each other? or are blanks immune to the effect of another blank?.
@@foxmcqwerty608 I was wondering the same thing. If I understand it right, it is the lack of a 'soul'' that makes people uncomfortable, does not having a soul mean that you don't care about other soulless people?
They could also just wear their mask as a kinky piece of fetishwear to block the effect as well...
Dude, for real, what the fuck.
@@foxmcqwerty608 I seem to remember hearing somewhere that when blanks meet each other they tend to bond quickly because they so rarely meet someone else who understands their isolation. I also recall hearing that the Sisters of Silence are a very close knit organization for just this reason.
And then I wonder how Failbadon managed to kill 4 of the assassins of every damn temple. Oh wait. Plotarmor. These things should be banned...
Ha! You're silly. As if chaos would ever follow the rules.
@@danielperkins7255 What are rules really?
@coldlizard 2 I don't remember when, but after one of his Black Crusades it was decides. But somehow he knew and ambushed them, killing all four.
If it was, then Sebastian "One-eye" Yarrick and Ciaphas Cain (e.g. 40K Blackadder) would've died quickly.
Well a blank still dies from a bolt round to the head.
"The most rare strain of mutation in the entire galaxy."
Common Sense?
"They posses the Pariah Gene."
Oh. Nevermind.
I wonder: Does the Imperium have, for lack of a better word, “breeding colonies” for Blanks? It’d be a win-win: the Blanks live in relative peace away from the rest of society, presumably with many of their needs taken care of, and the Imperium gets a steady stream of Blanks to use. Plus, their very nature makes Slaaneshi infiltration basically impossible, despite the... “requirements” needed for the mass-production of infants. ;D
You wouldn't even need breeding. Cloning them would work just fine since they lack souls and thus, don't have the same warp fuckery that gave the Afriel strain their legendary bad luck.
@@user-unos111 Unfortunately, using cloning technology is considered Tech herresy. Kreige gets away with it mainly because of how big of an asset it is.
@@marshallbernarte8216 As far as i know krieg isn't actually using cloning technology but just so called "vita womb" technology. And that's basically just artifical wombs. All you need to do is harvest enough egg- and spermcells, preferably from the best stock available, artificaly fertilize them and then put the fertilized eggcell in the vita womb. So, not exactly cloning tech. Pretty close, but not the same.
@@KingQwertzlbrmpf So cloning but better because of genetic diversity?
@@marshallbernarte8216 Cloning is making a genetic identical copy of a living being. What Krieg does is not making a genetic identical copy of a living being but creating living beings with artifical fertilization and artifical wombs for the being to develop in.
It's essentialy the same as todays artifical fertilization only that the fertilized eggcell is not implanted into the womb of a living women but into a machine that simulates the enviroment of a living womens womb.
Ah the assassin that killed the Tau space pope. I also disagree with most terrible weapon I think it goes to the Ordo Sinisters psy-titan's Left Hand of Darkness
Sinistramanus Tenebrae. Because the Imperium looked at the Dark Eldar and decided they could create their own horrific soulrending pain gun, and make it bigger too.
@@Mikazuchireborn Well the Imperium can't be upstaged by filthy xenos.
I kept on remembering how some Grey Knights teamed up with a few Sisters of Silence when Terra had a mildly demonic problem. Apparently they didn't even flinch despite being psykers.
That's because the Gay Knoghts Uh...
I was going to say they only have a thing for sisters of battle, but that misspell is a much better joke.
Ciaphas (pronounced Kai-a-phas, it took me a long time to learn that) Cain's relationship with Amberley was complex to put it mildly. He honestly did like her, but as he put it "when an Inquisitor sweetly asks you to do her "a small favor", that's when it's time start worrying." Their first meeting was at a diplomatic function where she was undercover as a singer, he mistook a Rogue Trader that was part of her retinue as the actutal Inquisitor, a fact she found hilarious later on.
I had a Solar character in the Exalted tabletop RPG. His stealth abilities revolved around magically moving his presence out of the conscious senses of those around him. He was also a perpetual paranoid that, upon receiving his Exaltation, gained a Lunar equal who he inherently trusted. The sheer obvious dichotomy between his paranoia and his blind trust nearly drove him insane at the start, and he only learned to accept it by letting the Lunar have control over their private actions.
Fun game. Too bad the other players at the table accused me of being a Nazi after the 2016 elections

So I've heard that (I think it was) astropaths actually like being around blanks cause they give them some peace and quiet. I think it was a ravenor book, but I'm not sure. Is this true? What affect would a pariah (unmodded) have in this case? And let's be real, jurgen is already a normal John wick style assassin
I think that that book got the lore wrong.

Do they have Partners?There Organisation is entirely female after all.Would not be surprised if they take an oath of abstinence.
@@marcuskurze9759 well in lore there is mention of them being married so no

Imagine if the Gray Knights were blanks instead of normal psykers. Demons would be running back to the warp at their sight.
I'm loving these artworks you've had made Arch, can't wait to see this one slowly reveal itself as you build the hype.
Seems like in addition to cloning, another option for getting lots of Blanks would be straight up breeding. It also has the advantage of allowing them to select for the strongest ones. If whatever makes a Blank can be passed on through cloning then it makes sense it could be passed on more normally. And Blanks don't have the same repulsion toward other Blanks that normal people do.
Surprised they Temple went straight to cloning first and say not a breeding program.
I would imagine a Necron pariah being a step above Culexus, if it weren't for GW getting rid of them.
When a blank gets close enough to a psyker they can go into fits and pass out too. I only had to see that happen once to know how useful that power is.

Oh shit!
I've been into 40k for about a year now and I still feel like I've only seen the tip of the iceberg especially when I come across your videos.
10:36 Hmmmm yes, I share your... shall we say, palpable... concern for this unfortunate adept.
They can kill demons you say? Doom Slayer is a blank confirmed.
31:30 worth pointing out that if the psychic energy is powerful enough then the Animus Speculum can be overloaded. Big E can almost certainly blow it out and Ephrael Stern is known to have done so. Also a blanks "blankness" can be essentially worn down (filled in?) over time if kept close enough to a potent enough (or maybe a specific type of) psycher.
Wow, I finally found something I want to be in 40k. I never thought that actually would be possible. Very satisfying and informative video. ❤👍
I do love the "Absolutely horrifying" approach to stealth.
The Eldar must crystallize their pointy eared pantaloons when one of these assassins show up.
what if you crossed one of these with an eversore. could drug fueled homicidal soul eating assassin’s be a thing?

culexus temple: yes yes yes yes YES
Tie a bunch of weak level psykers to pillars on the pilgrims road to the Eternity Gate on Tera and then wait for the eventual screaming to begin after a couple of billions of pilgrims have walked past, and the eventual blank walks by..
Erik Runge Madsen that is a surprisingly good idea...and definitely has a 40k feel to it.
@@dwavenminer Plus it cold maybe even make it onto the lists of worst jobs in 40K.
With the Someone Else's Problem and Natural Enmity effects, a blank onboard a spacecraft would be thrown into space... Not to even consider how a blank would affect passing into warp.
Culexus are surprisingly good against of all things, Tyranids. 99% of tyranids need the hive mind to communicate and function properly , there have been cases that a Culexua can be used to permanently severe a swarmlords connection to the hive mind thus disrupting the entire swarms command structure. Further more if we assume the swarmlord gets all the memories of the past dead swarm lord through the hiveminds psychic connection, then any knowledge gained by the pervious swarmlord is now lost to the hive mind. That would honestly be cool to see a story sometime of a Culexus frying a bunch of Tyranids.

Oh hell yes! Was very curious of the culexus assassin’s
Is it weird that I listen to this series when I can’t sleep?
You can't always listen to Tuska Daemonkilla, or Gorkamorka.
I did not know that red hair was so rare in the galaxy.
I'm really enjoying your Lore videos, Arch 🙂 I especially like the detail you go into and also your use of artwork, alot of which I haven't seen before. I love 40k artwork as much as the lore itself, so dark and disturbing.
Keep up the good work! 😎
Could the Culexus breed blanks? I am assuming blanks can reproduce. In assuming so I am wondering if two blanks mated if their offspring would also be a blank?
It's a rare recessive gene, so likely.
I've always wondered what would happen if another of the inherently psychic races in 40k had the displeasure of the Culexus' company: the Tyranids.
What scars would staring into that particular abyss leave within the hive mind?
Zoanthropes, norn queens, synapse creatures, and the like would probably get it the worst. The Hive Mind would feel like it just saw some nasty shit from the dark web and recoil appropriately.
From the wh40k wiki :
"...Even monstrosities such as a Tyranid Hive Tyrant can balk at the prospect of being permanently severed from their psychic abilities and the Hive Mind. The Culexus Assassin causes absolute terror in all psykers -- which is why they are so useful to the Imperium..."
Soooooo. Culexus meets Tzeentch. Does that mean Culexus has the power of a god to fire back at a god?
I'm sure there's a limit to how much warp power it can channel at once but still a fun idea
I guess because they're so rare, this why Abaddon wasn't swarmed to death with these

I think the skull masks make them less horrific. The skull actually makes it easier to be around them and helps them blend in.
So you know your playlist for vraks has a track missing: notably the res scorpion one near the end.
Imagine being a navigator(or an astropath, for that matter) tasked to guide a ship from the Culexus temple at the edge of the galaxy.
They have a special enclosure that isolate them from the rest of the world to minimise "interferences".
This is how black-ships operates too.
This assassin series is awesome! Thanks you Arch
40k noob question here
is it possible that one of the lost Primarchs was a Pariah ?
It wouldn't be impossible, but then wouldn't the chaos warp thing that scatter the baby primarchs, that wouldn't that work on a blank right?
The goatman92 True, but aren't there some rumors that one primarch pod was not whisked away, but instead just damaged? No source for this, just hearsay.
slowroll tom no idea but it would be cool as hell.
In reality its so you can make your own legion. In lore the lost primarchs were not "lost" but corrupted somehow along with their legions. Which is why their geneseeds and records were annihilated from history
That just makes me imagine a legion of Space Marine Blanks.
And how do Blanks react to each other?
Do two Negatives make a Positive?
I don't know if it actually causes a positive view of the other blank, but from my understanding, the blanks would view each other the same way a regular human would view another regular human.
@Drunk Pharaoh They absolutely should; the only thing that could threaten Humanity after becoming a race of blanks would be a total Necron revival. Everything else would be pacified with relatively little effort. Just imagine how easy war with any of the pysker races would be when the average guardsman is a weaker version of a culexus assassin. Whether it's Chaos, Tryanids, Eldar, or even the orks, they would all fall apart when their major strengths dissappear. Ork magical machinery collapsing before it hits the front lines. Chaos deamons being permanently deleted. Hive Tryants fleeing in terror. It would be an absolute bloodbath on almost every front.
Alex Fahey tyranids are the only exception they are worst without the warp in effect they will simply turn into hit and run orks with massive breeding biomass they won’t be a blender of death with the hive mind presence but still terrifying also I’m pretty sure orks waaaaagh goes through even blanks
@@Alex_Fahey
I was thinking cloning an Army of blanks and send them into the Eye is basic logic.
Necrons: Hahaha imagine having souls!
Dude love your channel. You're informative and hilarious. Keep up the good work.
