Admittedly I'm not a big Drago fan, but the short story "Mortarion's Heart" helps reduce the Mary Sue aspect of Drago's defeat of the Daemon Primarch. It explains how he knew Mortarion's true name and helped to justify the victory. Still kinda jank, but at least it was something thought out rather than just "Ward magic".
He continues to wreck the Realms of Chaos and chances are that he probably destroyed several hundreds of thousands of different Daemons, and he pretty much the Doomslayer of Warhammer universe, and boy does it shows that he continues to be a utter badass with the slightest ease.
What if Kaldor is actually the Starchild in mortal form? Perhaps that is why he knows Mortarion's true name.. because his soul is part of the emperor's whole and remembered the warp demon that was used to make Mortarion
He used the true name to weaken him. It was a secret passed down. He then carved the name Janus onto Mortarion's heart after wrecking him using his true name. Before that, he was getting his ass kicked.
@@reynoire9681 He used the true name to weaken Mortarion as that had power over him. It was a pretty 1 sided fight before that point. Lazy writing, but it was psychically implanted in him but he couldn't access it for whatever reason until he was in that fight with Mortarion. The grey knights had apparently discovered it a long time ago but it's kept secret by the upper ranks I think (been a while since I read the story).
@@reynoire9681 Deamons, even the Chaos Gods. Are followed by one absolute unchallenging rule: If ANYONE knows your real name, and is able to say it. You are now bonded at the service of that person you like it or not. By knowing Deamon Mortarion's true name you make him your bitch.
I like the TTS justification of Draigo’s power being that he’s literally the Outaider C’Tan plus having been driven mad inside the warp. Adding the Magnus Shard to the mix makes him understandably a god in the universe
Giving Kaldor the shard of Magnus also gives us a shortcut to "another Primarch." Given his deeds, the shard, along with the existing knowledge that the Grey Knights are of the Emperor's geneseed I think that would make him a defacto Primarch lol. Personally, I like this idea if for no other reason that Magnus will do something besides hassle the Space Wolves like some loser who is mad he got bounced from a club.
I'd really like a real life history of 40k 30k like when things were added like wasn't Horus originally just a general that betrayed the emperor ? Like I'd like to see how it evolved into what it is now
there's another thing you haven't considered: him being insane would also justify his power in the warp and against demons, because in the warp it's all about what you believe. if you're crazy enough to believe you're invincible, then you're FUCKING INVINCIBLE!
The thing with the true name's of the daemon Primarchs is an interesting topic. For One: are their true name's the one given by her Creation like Conrad Kurze and Pertrerabo or new ones their receive with their ascension's? And Two: would that mean that the Emperor had full control of his fallen Son's? So or so, he know their true name's and was the ultimate master of finding daemon names, like on Horos ship during the Siege.
Let's not forget that if the recent chaosgate game is canon to the universe, he didn't just beat mortarion once, but twice on his home turf with the help of a handful of other gray knights.
could we see a what happened to each leigon flagship during the horus heresy and beyond? maybe bulked with what happened with each leigon and what they did after the heresy
I would add, that the shard increases in power each time it passes to a new gran master, as it retains to power of the former grand master or a part of their soul gets stuck into the shard due to some sort of warp shit with Magnus. That would explain why Draigo is more powerful than the grand masters that came before him.
I thought black library already has hinted at the fact Kaldor has gone a little wonky and that’s why he’s been able to survive the warp along with the fact that the warp is psychic energy and kaldor has learned to harness it boosting his powers. Which made him go crazy in the first place, since logic and reason don’t necessarily follow like it does in the materium, reforge his sword and go tip toeing through Nergel s tulips. You’re welcome for that image.
Kaldor is a magician so he doesn't have to explain his secrets. Hands do not exist in his reality though. But he's still a Giga Chad Grey Knight that is so badass inspite of the memes. But let's not forget his Ordo, Ordo Drago you provides hams to everyone. Edit: I think his OP stuff from within the Warp is thanks to himself being a Psyker and drawing power directly from the Warp energy all around him, basically giving him unlimited power.
He even pops up in the Grey Knights PC game. The PC game is especially interesting because, it started to flesh out Chaos a little more. It even has some new aspects of Cosmic Horror (which i love, but doubt it was Game Workshop approved)
Kaldor Draigo was named grand master for a suicide mission. In the book Mortarians Heart (aduio drama) he is helping the grand master fight Mortarion with a ton of support and he is already incredibly gifted in combat at this point. But after the grandmaster dies to mortarion. They hold a council and decide that draigo will be named grandmaster on the condition he essentially charges mortarion and tries to banish him using Mortarions true name as given to him by another senior gray knight. And he only succedes because mortarion didnt break his helmet fast enough. Also he didnt succeeded he only killed mortarions body in the material world. So just stopped him temporarily.
Usually majorkill is more accurate. Draigo watched the grand master die from a distance, his paladin squad survived and they then held commune and elected his a supreme grand master more as a sacrifice against Morty to buy time rather than because he's due it. he is then given the true name of mortation by the gks chief librarian, he fought and barely won Vs him and I mean barely only winning using Purifying flame to make a distraction in Morty's defences then used the true name intended for him to beat him
As a person who saw Draigo in TTS before seeing him in Chaosgate it was jarring to see him go from "weird crazy super powered guy" to "super serious, duty bound and super powered guy". I did think it was nice to see a Draigo with his head on straight though all things considered.
I would LOVE to have Kaldor mini on the table and just before he attacks the big guy my opponet has, say...in almost a whisper next to him "...have you ever eaten a.....................................tangerine?"
He was probably able to do all the crap in the warp because Grey knights are known to be effectively uncorruptible, and because he had unlimited access to warp energies giving his psychic powers a huge boost.
It would make sense every so often there would be a freak grayknight made of emperor stuff, would be cool if he was partially possessed by the emperor, becoming a Herald.... damn lore needs to just say something like that. Might be interesting to have only a few beings partially possessed by Big E daddy to focus his efforts in the warp on multiple fronts. Kinda makes sense that a grayknight could house a portion of Big E's power and go slightly mad from it, being that his Gene's could act as a semi conduit. Another good opportunity for GW to show the Big E's power and presence being a double edged blade for humans
There is another possibility, after being exposed to the Warp for so long he may have become a Warp Entity or has been further enhanced due to everyone’s belief in him altering the Warp.
another part of tts they could bring in is that since the warp is affected by minds, thoughts, and emotions, rationality only holds you back and embracing insanity and extreme self confidence grants mortals a significant power boost while inside of it

It explains how he knew Mortarion's true name and helped to justify the victory. Still kinda jank, but at least it was something thought out rather than just "Ward magic".
He continues to wreck the Realms of Chaos and chances are that he probably destroyed several hundreds of thousands of different Daemons, and he pretty much the Doomslayer of Warhammer universe, and boy does it shows that he continues to be a utter badass with the slightest ease.
I hear that he wrecked every shitter in the Eye of Terror after his extreme Tangerine Diet!!!
I doubt he does any damage
What if Kaldor is actually the Starchild in mortal form? Perhaps that is why he knows Mortarion's true name.. because his soul is part of the emperor's whole and remembered the warp demon that was used to make Mortarion
I’m not I swear
Kaldor Draigo the living incarnation of "None of you seem to understand. I'm not locked in here with you. You're locked in here with *ME*!"
I really like that head cannon, why cant GW come up with this.
This is the Same GW that stopped TTS from making new episodes so it's not surprising their idiots
Look the ordo draigo is the most important ordo of the inquisition, THEY WILL PROVIDE THE HAMS
HERES YOUR HAM
I find it so ridiculous he was able to carve mortarions true name into his heart. Daemon primarchs are on a whole nother level
He used the true name to weaken him. It was a secret passed down. He then carved the name Janus onto Mortarion's heart after wrecking him using his true name. Before that, he was getting his ass kicked.
@@calebshaffer2283 weakened him down to what? Standard primarch level? It's still bullshit
@@reynoire9681 He used the true name to weaken Mortarion as that had power over him. It was a pretty 1 sided fight before that point. Lazy writing, but it was psychically implanted in him but he couldn't access it for whatever reason until he was in that fight with Mortarion. The grey knights had apparently discovered it a long time ago but it's kept secret by the upper ranks I think (been a while since I read the story).
What is Mortarion's true name anyways?
@@reynoire9681 Deamons, even the Chaos Gods. Are followed by one absolute unchallenging rule: If ANYONE knows your real name, and is able to say it. You are now bonded at the service of that person you like it or not. By knowing Deamon Mortarion's true name you make him your bitch.
I like the TTS justification of Draigo’s power being that he’s literally the Outaider C’Tan plus having been driven mad inside the warp. Adding the Magnus Shard to the mix makes him understandably a god in the universe
My personal favorite experience with Draigo is episode 26 of TTS where he gets wiped by bad ARG
RNG = Random Number Generator, also covers dice (you meant this one)
ARG = Alternate Reality Game
TTS Kaldor is always a treat when he shows up. One of the funniest skits in TTS.
Giving Kaldor the shard of Magnus also gives us a shortcut to "another Primarch." Given his deeds, the shard, along with the existing knowledge that the Grey Knights are of the Emperor's geneseed I think that would make him a defacto Primarch lol.
Personally, I like this idea if for no other reason that Magnus will do something besides hassle the Space Wolves like some loser who is mad he got bounced from a club.
Noble shard of magnus being passed + insanity is my head canon too, and nothing will convince me otherwise
I'd really like a real life history of 40k 30k like when things were added like wasn't Horus originally just a general that betrayed the emperor ? Like I'd like to see how it evolved into what it is now
Arbitor Ian did a great retrospective on the development of the Horus Heresy: th-cam.com/video/TIyjfpWdpWg/w-d-xo.html
there's another thing you haven't considered: him being insane would also justify his power in the warp and against demons, because in the warp it's all about what you believe. if you're crazy enough to believe you're invincible, then you're FUCKING INVINCIBLE!
Emperor bless Krekk0v, TheMaestroNoob, Flick, Nyuunzi, JustSomeNoob and Baalbuddy for their contributions for warhammer 40k "artwork"
You forgot the supreme heretic Vezimira
Don't you forget emwhatnott. Its his art that is in the first 30 seconds of the video!
That bit about the Draigo going through the warp like the doomslayer...
You made him look pretty cool for a minute. :)
Seems he realized friendship is magic.
I love it. I love how you have a 1 in 1 in million chance that when you try to summon a daemon, you get kaldor draigo instead lmao
The thing with the true name's of the daemon Primarchs is an interesting topic.
For One: are their true name's the one given by her Creation like Conrad Kurze and Pertrerabo or new ones their receive with their ascension's?
And Two: would that mean that the Emperor had full control of his fallen Son's? So or so, he know their true name's and was the ultimate master of finding daemon names, like on Horos ship during the Siege.
When you rewatch for the super cut of TTS Draigo quotes xD
Major, you should look at the Flash Gitz and 1d4chan take on Draigo. It it probably where TTS took inspiration for his characterization.
Nurgle reading that Gardeners Warp Magazine at 0:14. XD
Let's not forget that if the recent chaosgate game is canon to the universe, he didn't just beat mortarion once, but twice on his home turf with the help of a handful of other gray knights.
which makes way more sense than doing it solo
could we see a what happened to each leigon flagship during the horus heresy and beyond? maybe bulked with what happened with each leigon and what they did after the heresy
I would add, that the shard increases in power each time it passes to a new gran master, as it retains to power of the former grand master or a part of their soul gets stuck into the shard due to some sort of warp shit with Magnus. That would explain why Draigo is more powerful than the grand masters that came before him.
"We will provide the hams!"~ Caldor Draigo
He's has a Tangerine, He's provided The Ham, and just might be the saving grace Magnus The Red and The Thousand Son's need.
Well, by TTS he's more so the solution to Magnus getting enraged... since he beat him in all of second
"I AM THE FIREMAN WHOMST SHALL PUT OUT YOURS FLAMES OF ASPIRATION."
I thought black library already has hinted at the fact Kaldor has gone a little wonky and that’s why he’s been able to survive the warp along with the fact that the warp is psychic energy and kaldor has learned to harness it boosting his powers. Which made him go crazy in the first place, since logic and reason don’t necessarily follow like it does in the materium, reforge his sword and go tip toeing through Nergel s tulips. You’re welcome for that image.
I’ve officially watched almost all your videos in the last 2 years please upload more content
With a shard of Magnus and some insanity, Kaldor Draigo could be the deadpool of the wh40k setting; super op, but lots of voices in his head
Does everyone forget that flashgitz memed Draigo looooong before TTS.
Its equally hilarious with him snorting warp dust and what not.
Kaldor memes aside, this really just reminds me of how much I miss TTS
Good riddance
That headcanon actually does go a long way to explain it. I am adopting it.
Kaldor is a magician so he doesn't have to explain his secrets. Hands do not exist in his reality though. But he's still a Giga Chad Grey Knight that is so badass inspite of the memes. But let's not forget his Ordo, Ordo Drago you provides hams to everyone.
Edit: I think his OP stuff from within the Warp is thanks to himself being a Psyker and drawing power directly from the Warp energy all around him, basically giving him unlimited power.
He even pops up in the Grey Knights PC game. The PC game is especially interesting because, it started to flesh out Chaos a little more. It even has some new aspects of Cosmic Horror (which i love, but doubt it was Game Workshop approved)
A Interaction for the Interaction God, a Comment for the Comment Throne, for the Almighty Algorithm
This lighting and positioning is on point, best so far
Then you got the Flash Gitz animations of Kaldor.
Warp dust ain't cheep.
Kaldor Draigo was named grand master for a suicide mission. In the book Mortarians Heart (aduio drama) he is helping the grand master fight Mortarion with a ton of support and he is already incredibly gifted in combat at this point. But after the grandmaster dies to mortarion. They hold a council and decide that draigo will be named grandmaster on the condition he essentially charges mortarion and tries to banish him using Mortarions true name as given to him by another senior gray knight. And he only succedes because mortarion didnt break his helmet fast enough. Also he didnt succeeded he only killed mortarions body in the material world. So just stopped him temporarily.
Usually majorkill is more accurate. Draigo watched the grand master die from a distance, his paladin squad survived and they then held commune and elected his a supreme grand master more as a sacrifice against Morty to buy time rather than because he's due it. he is then given the true name of mortation by the gks chief librarian, he fought and barely won Vs him and I mean barely only winning using Purifying flame to make a distraction in Morty's defences then used the true name intended for him to beat him
So basically, he's the Deadpool of Warhammer?
more like the freakazoid of warhammer
The problem with tts Kaldor Drago, is I cannot tell about the tangerine or anything. Like, what is random dialog, and what is Easter eggs/references.
Maybe all of it is?
Maybe none of it is?
Only the warp knows
Every now and then I think of the line “and we will provide the HAMS” and it makes me giggle so much
How about a video on Ka’Bandha and everything that he’s done in both fantasy and 40K?
Wait he’s in fantasy?
@@duolingo0552 He showed up in The End Times.
@@bluemilkalienmonster522 Hmm, didn't know that lol
😭😭 TH-cam hate you major kill. Thanks for the channel and the uploads mate. Your content is what I need sometimes to escape
As a person who saw Draigo in TTS before seeing him in Chaosgate it was jarring to see him go from "weird crazy super powered guy" to "super serious, duty bound and super powered guy". I did think it was nice to see a Draigo with his head on straight though all things considered.
Kaldor has saved so many days, he‘s basically saved a whole year by this point.
I've always thought Kaldor Draigo is cool, he's definitely overpowered but I'm okay with it as long as he's not just coming in and erasing characters
After Kaldor Draigo asked me the question of whether or not I have had a tangerine then I realised that I've never had a tangerine
RIP TTS
Dont forget that first Draigo´s meme animation that was made wide known is from Flashgitz´s old newgrounds
Purple Orks are a good example
How are you gonna miss the best one where he straight up tells a sun no....and it works.
Explaining Kaldor Draigo’s lore and memes in the format of memes is only more confusing, except for Kaldor Draigo. HE UNDERSTANDS EVERYTHING
I would LOVE to have Kaldor mini on the table and just before he attacks the big guy my opponet has, say...in almost a whisper next to him "...have you ever eaten a.....................................tangerine?"
Even the Doom Slayer looks at Draigo like “WTF GW?”
He just sees a mirror of himself lol
Kaldor Draigo and the Ultra Smurfs made a deal with The MarySue Chaos God Matt Ward. That's my headcanon for why they always win.
He was probably able to do all the crap in the warp because Grey knights are known to be effectively uncorruptible, and because he had unlimited access to warp energies giving his psychic powers a huge boost.
It would make sense every so often there would be a freak grayknight made of emperor stuff, would be cool if he was partially possessed by the emperor, becoming a Herald.... damn lore needs to just say something like that. Might be interesting to have only a few beings partially possessed by Big E daddy to focus his efforts in the warp on multiple fronts.
Kinda makes sense that a grayknight could house a portion of Big E's power and go slightly mad from it, being that his Gene's could act as a semi conduit.
Another good opportunity for GW to show the Big E's power and presence being a double edged blade for humans
0:50 none of them were memes
Nothing like an memey TH-camr's extremely memey lore explanation to clear things up for us. 👍
There is another possibility, after being exposed to the Warp for so long he may have become a Warp Entity or has been further enhanced due to everyone’s belief in him altering the Warp.
His immense power comes from his warp dust addiction. If anyone still remembers that.
Man I didn’t realise how small this man is lol.
Majorkill or Kaldor?
another part of tts they could bring in is that since the warp is affected by minds, thoughts, and emotions, rationality only holds you back and embracing insanity and extreme self confidence grants mortals a significant power boost while inside of it
Kaldor draigo is like an old war veteran, senile, silly and deadly
I love the over the top of Warhammer, but it's hard to fear the warp and its entities with someone like Kaldor Draigo wandering around.
The 2nd one is the meme sentence as it's the only one not objectively true
There’s nothing better than sitting back in the driver seat my phone on the dash watching lore videos
