Nightlords: look like vampires. Blood Angels: Actual vampires
Nightlords : Vlad Tepes
Blood Angels: Dracula/Alucard
No lies detected
Night Lords: Goths who are goths for the sake of being edgy assholes who hate everything and take no responsibility for anything, even if it really is their fault.
Blood Angels: Goths who are goths because they perceive the beauty and tragedy of life and death, and while it may depress them, it is still something worth celebrating and fighting for.
I would say that the Night Lords are the dark and horrible side of vampires, while the Blood Angels are the more noble and honorable side, both very tragic.
Nightlords = historical Vlad the Impaler
Blood Angels = Technically vampires but with Fallen Angel + Berserker trope
her face at 4:50 when he says "each space marine has a father... unlike you"
lmao
How dare you!
-Greta Thunberg
Her face went emo 😅
Bricky: "nightlords are my favorite legion."
Also bricky: "konrad curze is dead, which is good because hes a sick f*ck."
I think about that everytime I've seen reactions to both of these videos lol
Liking a fictional element in its narrative context is different than liking it as an hypothetical reality, most people really don't get this and it's frankly worrying.
P.S. this is not a personal insult or anything of the sort.
well that was before he read the night lord books. he didnt know much about them at the time of the factions explained videos
@@charlesbecker934 that makes sense.
The Every Faction videos were before he read the Nightlords novels
Those books were the core reason he added Nightlords to his growing armies (alongside Guardsmen, Sisters of Battle, Grey Knights, and Custodes, because he's a fucking madman)
Iron Warriors speak to my soul lol. Its amazing how much can be accomplished when fuelled by petty bitterness lol.
It's turbo time
I would say they are my favorite traitor legion. Mostly because I see them as very pragmatic.
Lol, i love finding Iron Warriors fans. I actually watched Bricky's conversion from disliking Perturabo, to finding him likeable, it was hilarious.
I admire the Iron Warriors - but I don't admire their primarch. He is great for sure and a very compelling character to follow. The rivalry between him and Dorn was great. But he was a genuinly terrible influence on a great legion. In moral terms at least. @@ambrosiogiovanni6952
@ambrosiogiovanni6952 Perty is a really interesting combination of "getting shit done" and pure bitterness
Here is a 'Good' Story about the Night lords,
one of them was caught by the Dark Angels, while he was in his cell he befriended a young Astropath Girl, After finding out she was been abused by a superior he broke out of his cell killed her abuser then gave himself up.
@@bertinrow I couldn't remember if it was him or Talos.
And a rumor of Jago are a Grey knight after horus heresy.
Don’t forget the “kill” was not quick or painless by any means lol
@bertlane84 Jago was probably one of the most gifted Space Marines who ever lived in the 40k universe. He was also one of the few who remembered the principles his legion was founded on and hated chaos. Apon seeing the demon possessed Eromond or Argel Tal (I can't remember which Word Bearer it was) Jago spat near his boots finding his possesed form to be disgusting.
@@Twelvegage30 And there's a chance Jago was one of the founding Grey Knights. Nothing confirmed though.
Bricky widely considered by the fanbase as an excellent start point because of his humor. It makes 40k accessible and brings new people in. So no, he doesn't get hate from the 40k fanbase.
Bricky, Luetin, Wolf Lord Rho, Baldermort are the Fantastic Four of 40k content imo (🤔 That kind of rhymes 🤣😂)
He's great but he does get things wrong.
i rarely see bricky hate but when i do its fuckin extreme hatred, usually involving like 15 slurs
Yeah Bricky is good for like brand new people looking to explore the lore. He does it in a fun way that doesn't totally overwhelm people with info dumps.
@@michaelriddick7116i’d put weshammer up there too, i love all those guys 😊
"WE DON'T SPEAK ABOUT THE 2ND AND 11TH LEGION!"
*cocks Bolter* There is no 2nd or 11th legion.
I forgot numbers 2 and 11 existed...you should too...or you might no longer exist
Talk about who now, I don't know who you're talking about.@@noahcaelum6796
There were only ever nine primarchs! Everything else is just pure heresy!
Some clarification on the Blood Angels
The Red Thirst (them wanting to drink blood) affects them all, but for the most part they have this under control, sometimes through questionable means
The Black Rage CAN happen to any of them at any time, but it isn't based off anything like time they've served, it's random. As their current chapter master has been alive for over 1500 years and he hasn't fell to it.
Also when they fall to the Black Rage, they don't see themselves at their Primarch's death....they see themselves as their Primarch
When they fall to the Black Rage they think they are Sanguinius in his final moments fighting against Horus
Dante didn't get Black Rage, instead he have "Why I'm still alive and why I can't die in battle? How much longer?" level of depression.
@@The0Stroy Didn’t Dante overcome Black Rage in relatively recent event of Devastation of Baal, when he fought against Hive Tyrant?
@@VorteXMaxsongyes, during the devastation of Baal Dante nearly fell (or did fall and quickly come back to his senses.) while he was going 1v1 against a very powerful Tyranid. I think it was a swarm lord but might be wrong
In recent lore Lion come back and some of Fallen get forgiven by him and now, as Risen, are like his inner circle.
Yeah, the risen are BUSTED. A group of space marines that survived 10,000 years of roaming, being hunted by the Dark Angels while staying completely sane and avoiding any and all chaos corruption.
similar to the wolves and the wulfen. when blackmane came back from his jaunt to chaos world and fining some 13 legion survivors who had changed into wulfen but remianed loyal they forgave the wulfen and now use them in combat as their own squads. Ragnar Blackmane is probably the only other living person outside of the dark angels to know about the fallen as he ran into one acting as an advisor on a planet. He wasn't mindwiped either, just asked to sorta forget about what he saw.
About eating enemies - all marines can do it. But when other legions will just get little nibble to taste and get info, Space Wolf will go full on eating.
Blood angels are and always will be the legion most synonymous with eating people
there is no actual lore of Space wolves eating people as a meal. they don't do it any more often than another legion would
Not all of them mastered it rather
Rogue traders are people who have been given a wall sized document signed by whoever is encharge of terra at the time that makes them immune from all lores on the understanding they go acquire stuff for the imperium. The contract is hereditary and the oldest rogue trader families have ones signed by the emperor which are considered holy and not even the inquisition mess with them. Its sort of a lore thing that exists from when warhammer was space D and D to explain why the player characters doesn't get killed on the spot for committing crimes, and have some degree of freedom.
There are two tiers of Rogue Trader - those with a writ signed by the Emperor himself, and those who have been given a writ by some high lord.
@@malcolm_in_the_middleI wonder where ones appointed by Guilliman fall in this hierarchy
@user-pm3wk6lw6m Probably an in-between third rank that leans closer to the Emperor's contracts since he's a son of the Emperor AND Lord Commander of the Imperium (aka, the most powerful individual in terms of political and military power and influence)
The Warrant of Rogue Trader is not given just by some random dudes on Terra, if I remember correctly, there is limited number of Warrants, all have signed by Emperor himself, with droplet of his sacred blood
3:50 I’m not a great fan of memes, but Bricky is so damn likable and a master communicator. The way he reads quotes is also second to none.
Yeaaaaah Bricky is very likable, I just love his format and how charismatic he is
The missing space marine legions were originally made so that the player can make up their own chapter / legion and add mystery to the narrative.
Someone says Night Lords are vampires, every Night Lord and Blood Angel player: Gargoyles!
I can see it!

@Warrior Tier
Imperial Fists look a little boring at first glance. But the deeper you get into their lore the more interesting they get. Rogal Dorn was a total badass. Easily my favourite chapter. Their succesor chapters get a bit crazier (In a good way.), especially the Black Templars.
I most warmly suggest the Ciaphas Cain series. A great primer and introduction to 40K Very beginner friendly and not so monstrously bleak to make you want to die
"And you know ...their SEED!" 😁
Ignore the Black Templars link that Bricky suggests. I would recommend either The Templin Institute or The Rememberance channel for great Black Templars lore videos.
Also, a matter that Bricky doesn't fully explain: After the Horus Heresy, Loyalist Legions were split into Chapters and the Traitor Legions were split into Warbands.
Baldermorts also... atmospheric)
One of the many things bricky does that bothers me is he often uses chapter and legion interchangeably. This can be confusing for newcomers and is why I see his videos as a necessary evil. He's got some wrong info in his vids and sometimes doesn't explain things when he should. Still there's no better intro to the universe and he's pretty entertaining so that's why I see it as a kind of necessary evil.
xxchaos315xx6 ...Agreed. I often tell people that other creators expect you to have watched Bricky's videos first. Once you have context, then you can specialize.
Go in Peace and Walk with God. 😎 👍
I only recently learned that legion and chapter are two different things, but still not sure what’s the difference 😅
@ti8ick they're basically 2 different time periods. During the emperors great crusade the space marine legions consisted of between 80,000 to 250,000 astartes depending on the legion. They were massive armies of superhuman warriors. The emperors plan was to use them ton conquer the galaxy. Unfortunately the horus heresy happened and half of the legions turned traitor and caused untold devastation in a pretty short time. After the horus heresy, sweeping changes were enacted to the military forces of the imperium. The space marine legions were broken up into chapters consisting of no more than 1000 marines. This was done so that no one person could wield the devastating destructive power of an entire legion of astartes.
I recommend Aron Dembski-Bowden's Night Lords trilogy consisting of "Soul Hunter", "Blood Reaver" and "Void Stalker". Particularly the audiobook, brilliantly narrated by Andrew Wincott. You will come to admire and abhor the Night Lords at the same time.
Remember, 40k is deep. Leman Russ, who leads the Space Wolves, is a man pretending to be an animal. While Lion el Johnson who leads the dark angels is an animal pretending to be a man.
Dan Abnetts "Eisenhorn" triology is a pretty good and all around entrance in the warhammer 40k universe, not just the "glory in battle" thing, but the works and everyday life in the Imperium.
Yeah, I love how that series gets into how Inquisitors operate.
Just started reading Eisenhorn a week ago I really enjoy it
@@toxmedic29 If you want more by the time you're done, there's the Ravenor trilogy that comes afterwards too.
I personally didn't like the ravenor storys very much. Didn't regret reading them though... also there is the 3rd storyline out, about Alizbeth Bequin, still looking forward to read...
@@crowe6961 that’s what I’ve been trying to get I’d prefer the physical copy but I’m not finding it anywhere for a reasonable price or it’s in Spanish
The Blood Angels book *Dante* is genuinely such a good book for beginners, but also a really good story too.
The book *Space Wolf* is really good if you want to know the whole process of how Space wolves are recruited and trained and turn into Space marines etc.
Those 2 are probably the best books for a starter and both have good stories too.
It just depends which Chapter you would rather read about
Blood Angels = read *Dante* by Guy Haley
Space wolves = read *Space Wolf* by William King
Adeptus Ridiculous is a really entertaining podcast by Bricky full of lore and tomfoolery
If I'm not mistaken, Bricky's Timeline video gives some great book recommendations at the end. Just in case you were planning on watching that one too lol
Bricky does a podcast, 'Adeptus Ridiculous' that goes in far greater depth into a Primarch followed by their Legion..... (You see why he loves the 'Night Lords'). I found you can start any book series once you get a based understanding of the faction, legion or Primarch and the book fills in the rest for you.
Also I've had advice that the books maybe heavily influenced by the author that wrote it, so I choose to take them with a grain of salt, but still enjoying them.
Bricky does a great job telling about the original founding legions... except for the Imperial Fists.. my favorite legion.
The description he gives to them makes them seem like a blank slate or generic trooper place holder. Yet when you look at successors and see the Black Templars, it should be hint that there's more going on; it just isn't obvious.
"Fortify" is the meme most associated with them; the word most associated with them is Loyalty. All other space marine chapters act out of a sense of honor, creed, and duty, but the Fists act out of true loyalty to the Emperor and Dorn's dream: a united Imperium and an end to the constant war.
A further description would be that they are highly self critical, and very, VERY masochistic.
Look into things like the Pain Glove and Liturgy of Pain to get a better perspective on that last part.
True! I had exactly the same first impression, but as I learned a bit more about the Imperial Fists and especially the Black Templars I could see that there's much more to them
@@ti8ick
That's because Bricky isn't as good at teaching 40k as he thinks he is
I love how energetic she is in that video, she seems so much more alife than any other youtuber I´ve watched and The Lord knows I´ve watched a lot of youtube.
Omg thank you so much. W40k really gets me excited and I’m happy it shows ❤
- Space Marine by Ian Watson is a great start for everyone especially if you want to know more about Space Marines and it is a single self-contained book.
- Gaunts Ghosts books are good because those are human centric and show the vast differences between the "normal" human in 40K and basically everything else.
- Eisenhorn books series is good too, but not as beginner friendly as the above ones, but they show a wide variety of aspects of the Imperium.
Space Marine by Ian Watson - seriously? Tell you were joking...
I got Eisenhorn, so will try reading it and see if I understand anything lol
@@ti8ick Eisenhorn is easy to read even by people not familiar with warhammer
If you want book recommendations:
Horus Rising
The Eisenhorn series
The Gathering Storm trilogy. Those are lore books with out-of date rules at the end, but it covers Cadia being destroyed, the rise of the Ynnari and the return of Roboute Guilliman which set up the current scape of 40k lore for the game.
"I thought all the Space Marines were good..." Oh, you poor sweet child.
Completely random youtube suggestion got me here and im thankful, for your reaction.. and Bricky's content, glory to the algorithm, for once it worked well.
Haha, good to have you with us!! I'm in love with the Warhammer 40,000 setting and I'm even trying the tabletop stuff
Hell yes! You go girl! Essentially warhammer tabletop is just a dice game with extra steps, hope you have fun with it@@ti8ick
One of the best books i think people can start with is the infinite and the divine. Necron bias aside its a light hearted story (all things considered) with lowish stakes and is just a good read that dips your toes into the universe. Then you can go from there to any story that interest you.
FOR THE RUSS AND THE ALLFATHER!!! Space Wolves represent 🤘✊🐺
a fellow wolf brother :D
Back to the kennel! You know you're not allowed out in public!

Iron within, iron without
“Your presence does not surprise me Assassin. I have known of you since your craft entered the Eastern Fringes. Why did I not have you killed? Because your mission and the act you are about to commit proves the truth of all I have ever said or done. I merely punished those who had wronged, just as your false Emperor now seeks to punish me. Death is nothing compared to vindication.” Primarch Konrad Curze, aka Night Haunter - moments before his death at the hands of Callidus Assassin M'Shen
Warhammer 40k looney toons is a great and short summary of the Warhammer Galaxy.
Ian Watson: Space Marine is a good start to read.
Imperial guard books are a pretty good place to start, as theyre usually traditional war stories set in the universe of 40K. You can just passively absorb the lore through the POV of a normal person sent to fight eldrich horror in the Emperors name. The "Tanith First and only" series from Dan Abnett is really good, as are the Ciaphas Cain books, but those are more like a dark comedy, where Cain himself views himself throught the lens of impostor syndrome as a coward (the part when Cain first meets Amberley Vail is kinda cute).
The Eisenhorn trilogy is also really good if you like the Inquisition and mystery.
People had also been mentioning The Infinite and the Divine, it is a great book from the POV of the necrons, also its positively hilarious sometimes
Blood angels, noble vampires that are lead by a guy who just wants to die.
"Dark Angel Fallen" were always my favorite😁 Someone's probably recommended it but check out "If the emperor had a text to speach"
Already did and uploaded my reaction to the first episode 😂
@@ti8ick I know i saw it this morning, Great job! Glad your enjoying it! 😁👍
@jessiechen279
You read Lion El-jonhson, son of forest?
@@shadowsensei9040 No unfortunatly not yet, I struggle to find the patientce to read these days😏
The crazy thing is...
The Night Lords were this crazy during the Great Crusade.
Whole star systems would halt(quicksmart!) any denying, of Imperial Enlightenment, upon hearing the knowledge that these....insane Astartes had been called in as reinforcements. They would surender rather then face this legion.
Emperor knew what they did. And rarely censured them.
Another great one. As a Son of The Lion we pride ourselves on just how ruthless we can be. We go to war, there are no rules. All that matters is our foes are exterminated. Yeah, we have a few secrets from the days of the Heresy. But shhhhhhhh we don't mention that.
As to why there are a couple of Legions missing. This is from back in 1st edition, Rogue trader days ('87-89"). These Legions were made purely so people could make up their own Legions. But when this was expanded to Space marine Chapters, they never got a story made up for them. We hope they never do. That is the best part. The mystery of just what Big E would do.
Hope everyone is having a great week & much love to all from here in the UK
Funny thing about the Night Lords is they actually hate chaos and see it as weak if someone gives themselves over to it.
Brilliant reaction in all ways, so there might be lots to comment on! It's great to hear you're interested in books, Leutin and Arbitor Ian! Great analogy about Leutin's content, he can be really deep and atmospheric or frank sometimes! Ian can get huge topics down to 20 to 40 ish minute videos, even the real world history of how the Horus Heresy was created, and - as you may already know, shorter ones on individual space marine legions. Neither are so memey but it'll be interesting to see what you think :)
As you're probably hearing bits of, space marines fought in the Great Crusade and Heresy typically as legions under their respective primarchs (but there were exceptions, mixed forces etc). After the Horus Heresy, Ultramarines primarch Roboute Guilliman (yes him again) resolved that no individual should hold the power of a legion again, and (after protests and sacrifices from some loyal primarchs and legions) they were mostly broken down to chapters of 1000 or so marines each, as it is in 40k. This was encouragement for people to come up with "homebrew chapters" with their own colours and lore.
Now back to the point lol. Bricky kind of mixes and matches a few details from the Crusade era/Heresy legions, and the chapters that kept the old legion name. Of course this just applies to loyalists, since the traitor legions had their own leaders and problems affecting their numbers...
Ok, Dark Angels. In 40k, most of the chapter are dark green, the fast Ravenwing wear black, and the veteran Deathwing wear bone white. The Dark Angels legion however, mostly wore black, then a bit of green. Back then, they had six special Wings including Deathwing and Ravenwing, but also Doomwing etc. A marine might have regular duty in a line squad, sharing their specialist knowledge, but then they might be ordered to step out on a mission that requires Deathwing or Firewing specialists. To me, this arrangement's kinda like playing cards, you might want the number for some games, or a heart or diamond for others. Huge tangent sorry lol
By 2nd edition 40k, a "big four" marine chapters were established, identifiable by the codex they got. The Ultramarines codex represented them and most homebrew chapters, Angels of Death covered Blood Angels and Dark Angels, and Space Wolves got a codex to themselves (with much less wolf spam back then) haha.
As such, Imperial Fists had some minis painted up and photographed, but were seen as little more than yellow Ultramarines, so what you said reminded me of that lol. The Iron Warriors rivalry came around 3rd ed. in Index Astartes articles I think, and the Fists got fleshed out from there. Still, a lot of that is from them defending Terra in the Heresy and since. The legion also had a different knightly influence, which linked them to what would become the Black Templars.
Yes, Night Lords and Blood Angels have vampires among other influences. Both their primarchs also had similar powers of foresight, but these were outwardly worse on Conrad Kurze's sanity. He's a bit like if a superpowered Batman chose to kill. Of course with 40k there's a twist, that this legion used terror to cause significantly less destruction and fewer casualties... until they became renegades anyway.
Indeed I think all marines in the legion days were able to read memories from ingesting dead enemies (or allies for that matter) and in the early crusade days, the 9th legion had an infamously ghoulish rep, until they met Sanguinius, renaming them the Blood Angels and making them way more popular lol
Ok congratulations on reading this far and thank you!
The First Legion is the best legion, after that it's all downhill.
Loyalty is it's own reward.
love my blood angels, the catholic angel theme mixed with gothic vampires is just too fucking cool
A beginner book people keep mentioning is The Infinite and The Divine. But I guess it depends on what you want to read about and what genre you're into.
I don't know enough about the books to give concrete recommendations, but it is worth noting that the 40k universe is a setting in which a lot of types of stories and genres can take place and have taken place. So no matter what, you will most likely be able find something you would like, it's just a question of what you actually do like.
I'm late to post this but in case anyone is wondering the in universe reason for the 2nd and 11th legion never getting mentioned is because for reasons WE STILL DON'T KNOW, did something so terrible their primarch and legions were destroyed and removed from the history books and even mentioning they exist will cause you to be killed (even primarchs, Horus learned not to test that out while around The Emperor's right hand man Malcador the Sigilite). It's implied the 2nd and 11th's marines were either completely killed or peppered into the other legions with some mental brainwashing, Primarch Guilliman actually had his mind wiped so he wouldn't remember what his lost brothers did
This is cool to see you dive so deep
Aron Demski Bowdens Nightlords Series is hands down one of the best series out there and the audio books are voiced amazingly
One thing to remember going in to Warhammer 40k... no one's the good guy.
Fun fact the Alpha Legion, Night Lords, Iron Warriors, and some of the Fallen Dark Angels don't actually like the idea of Chaos and the daemons all that much. Like Bricky said, the Iron Warriors use daemons as tools like for example the Daemon Engine war machines he briefly explained. However there are exceptions like with various warbands being led by Daemon Princes, but overall these legions don't revere Chaos on the norm, basically they're the gray area of the space marines. There's also renegade space marines that act more like pirates and mercenaries if you wanna get into those.
The night lord trilogy is brilliant. You really get to see them as " pseudo good guys" especially talos
space wolves are the only legion to hold two distinct battle honors. they told the inquistion to go get effed...twice then bent them over and spanked them when the inquistion came for them (first one as they though the wolves where mutants due to their unique gene seed. The other is they are the only legion to fight with and against the Grey knights at the battle of armageddon. Wolves are fiercely loyal to those that they fight with and when the inquistion ordered the population of Amrageddon be sterilised then shipped off world the wolves took great exception, stated filling their frieghters with families and took off into space. the inquisition in a hissy fit ordered the grey knights to find and kill all the escapees resulting in what is now called the months of shame when the wolves and the knights clashed multiple times. resulting in a battle over Fenris. which another first occured. The great wolf lord was so incensed by what the inqusition did he did something thought impossible. he ran in full terminator armor before ripping the inquisitor a new one and killing him. the head grey knight, free from the orders promptly did the smart thing, called a cease fire and went back to doing what grey knights are supposed to do, find and kill demons.
Just a slight correction, Perturabo of the Iron Warriors beat Dorn of the imperial fists in a battle called "the iron cage" so badly he gave him depression.
*Thats* the reason for their rivalry.
(Yes I'm an Iron Warriors fan so I'm biased)
BS, Dorn was already depressed after the whole Horus going full traitor, the siege, brother vs brother, the sacrifices, sanguinius dying and big E mortally wounded.
@@infernalskepandaen2127 the iron cage is literally what knocked Dorn's confidence and why the imperial fists and most of their successor chapters adopted the Codex Astartes created by Guilliman.
Most of the legion died during that battle
Dark Angel's are loyalists but hunting for the fallen is where they are ultimate assholes
The one thing you learn fast about 40k is that there are no heroes.
What He has forgotten about Leman Russ is that he looks like an savage but he is fucking smart. Even Horus sees that when He first meet Russ
Beginner 40k Book recommendation: Heroes of the Space Marines. It's a collection of short stores about different groups of space marines (both loyal and heretic). You get multiple different writers and different legions/chapters of Space Marines.
To clarify just how “Scorched Earth” The Lion and, by extension, the Dark Angels are:
You might realize that the Traitor Primarch do not have home planets anymore…The Lion was a contributing factor to a fair bunch of those planets going bye bye
For books for beginners, I will ALWAYS recommend the Ciaphas Cain or the Gaunt's Ghosts books. They are amazingly well written, and a LOT of fun to read.
Bricky and Arch: the Two Genders
There is no "good" side in 40k just lesser evil factions and BadShitInsane factions
White Scar's "what happens behind the sound barrier, stays behind the sound barrier"
bricky is the perfect person to start your dive into warhammer he will give you a basic overview along with facts and memes then when your done with these vids of his he has the adeptus ridiculous channel where he goes into more detail while also keeping it lighthearted covering all the factions and battles and wars after that well that's usually up to yourself
There isn't really any book that will give you an easy start, as 40k is such a large universe. The best thing to do, find a faction that you have an interest in, and just dive in. As you learn about factions within that book, you'll have a better idea of where you want to go to next. Most 40k novels are stand alone, so you won't get totally lost, even if you're coming in without too much prior knowledge. I would also read at least a few regular 40k novels before attempting the horus heresy series.
There are absolutely books that can give you an easy start, have you read Horus Rising?
All space marines can gain knowledge by consuming their enemies flesh, not just the Space Wolfs.
Are they not slowly erasing this ?
Not using it anyway
Answers to questions:
Nice/Wholesome Primarchs: Vulkan, Sanguinius and arguably Roboute Guilliman as well as Jaghatai Khan
Good 40k books to start with: Ciaphas Cain: For the Emperor and Eisenhorn: Xenos. Cain books are more fun but the first Eisenhorn book explores the Imperium a lot more and wraps up with some cool space marine action.
Rogue Traders are nobility given special permission to go outside the Imperium. They're not really aligned with any one faction on the table top. Though one Trader is in the Imperial Agents list, and the agents can be put with any Imperium faction on the tabletop. Theyre also how 40k started as the first game they made was the Rogue Trader TTRPG.
Sure, Night Lords are similar to Dark Elves. But there's a moment in the lore where the night lords and dark elves got into a conflict, in which the night lords proclaimed they were the greatest masters of fear. In return, the dark elves deployed a weapon that shrouded the whole planet in darkness and proceeded to absolutely humiliate the night lords at their own game.
I've been really appreciating your videos, your perceptiveness and active interest really show through (you've got a bit of a scientist's attitude, in a way). It's very nice and refreshing.
If you want another opinion on book recs, I'd start with a couple tips:
-All SM legions have not only at least 1 book (IIRC, maybe not the Iron Hands) with just the modern legions, but also 1 about their Primarch and their times with him. So if anyone of them piqued your interest, just try out one of those first (personally, I'm biased to Sanguinius).
-The sheer scope and magnitude of 40k books makes it so there's a bit of everything, from "bolter porn", to suspense and intrigue, comedy... so it'll all depend a bit on your personal taste for genres along with the factions.
That being said:
-Infinite and the Divine (comedy, 2 necron lords basically pranking and screwing each other over several places and times)
-Master of Mankind (tragedy, with a lot of exposition on the Emperor and the Custodians, plus a bit of bolter porn)
-Warhammer Crime series\Inquisitor (intrigues and investigations, Inquisitor is on a larger scale, the series stories are more localized)
-Brutal Kunnin (Orks. Orks. Orks.)
To answer the question, if there are nice Primarchs.
Imagine you are a boy, genetical engineered in lap on Terra, raised without a mother and a father, thrown alone on a mostly hostile planet, where they saw you as some kind of demy god or hated you, where you had to fight for survival. Than your dad showed up, which never explains anything to anyone about his motives and do not care about whether you live or you die, putting you in an uniform and in charge of basically your own sones (which also had not mother and see you as your father figure) to wage a galactic crusade to unify humanity again, only to leave you alone again and vanish, while you learn that you have other brothers, which later turned partly against you. Yeah, would say a healthy childhood.
To give an actual, non-meme answer on the 2nd and 11th legions:
We don't know what happened to them. They didn't turn to Chaos, probably, since they were expunged from Imperial records before the Horus Heresy, but whatever they did was such a big deal that even the Chaos-corrupted Demon Primarchs don't speak of them. All we know is that they did *something* that resulted in all knowledge of them being erased from the Imperium.
In the real world, the reason for the 2nd and 11th legions is so that people can invent their own primarchs/legions for their own games. But as far as the world of 40K itself is concerned, they may as well not exist.
Most/all of the founding Space marine legions are more or less bad but the 3 most disturbing are likely the Emperors children,
Night lords and the word bearers.
The 2nd and 11th Legion didn’t fall to Chaos during the Horus Heresy, at least that we know of. All records of them got expunged. Even Horus himself, who was the instigator of the Heresy didn’t get expunged so whatever II and XI did must be considered far worse.
Somewhere out there, there is a lonely Nightlord that still is loyal
He's been hitting the gym a lot more since last year.
There’s an amazing movie called Helsreach thats really amazing immersive look at warhammer 40k, you for sure should consider doing a series on it!!
The 2nd and 11th legions were lost. Gamesworkshop has said that you can essentially make your own legion to fill in for the 2nd and 11th legions
I can recommend the Gaunt's Ghosts-book series. it's just "completed" so you won't have to wait years for a sequal. The Eisenhorn and Ravenor-series too
I love the Ghosts, but they are for WH fans... all about Battle and the life of a tiny wheel... newcomers should probably stick to Eisenhorn.
@@Boredofmostofit Fair point. Eisenhorn is what got me into 40K after watching Bricky's introduction videos
You might like the storys about Ciaphas Cain too. I personally think they're good and a bit "goofy", pretty unique in WH...
“Heroes Of The Space Marines” by Nick Kyme and Lindsey Priestley is a collection of short stories that is great for someone new to the setting. They tell stories from various legions from loyalist, to traitor and don’t require a lot of external knowledge to follow. Otherwise the Nightlords Omnibus is an exceptionally well written trilogy centered around a Nightlord who takes more after Konrad Curze than the rest of his legion and suffers from seizures that give him visions of the future. A great story from the perspective of one of the traitor marines who hates some of his “allies” as much as his enemies.
Thank you so much, wrote it down! ❤
Rogue Traders are like a cross between the East India Company and Privateers. The first ones were given sacred and binding documents akin to licences to trade, by the Emperor of Mankind, and subsequent Rogue Traders have been granted them from the High Lords of Terra. They're ancient noble houses often going back many generations, that have a monopoly on trade within a certain region of space, usually on the outskirts of Imperial rule. They can have anywhere from a few ships to entire fleets of warships and trade vessels in order to protect their sources of income. They often trade as well with alien races that the Imperium has little or no beef with (primarily cos the alien race is a neutral faction, or just too small to give a fuck about), although some rogue traders have been known to trade with races like the Tau, despite the Imperium's distaste, because the Tau are reasonable and civil.
That's why when emotional fairies cry and rant you don't stop you throw more out there till they grow up and deal with it.
The night lords are basically a legion sized bat-family that used to life on a planet sized Gotham-city
"I mean, I understand it" when it comes to cannibalisms. I like you.
Nice Python reference 👌
The White Scars are my favorite Loyalist Legion and the Iron Hands are my favorite Chaos Legion.
Ti8ick: “The 7th legion…they just seem like huge suits of armor for protection and i don’t see anything else about them”
Rogal Dorn- “This Is True”
Are there any good Primarch?
Yes, his name is Vulcan
The glorious Hawk-boi is the best boi
Jagathai is a roast god that's not meme. In one of the novels fulgtim, primarch of the emperors children walks up to him and says I here you do strange things to you vehicles(to make them go faster).
The khan responded "I hear hour do strange things to you sons"
It should be noted that all the Space Marine Legions in Bricky's video are "First Founding" Chapters (that is, they predate the Horus Heresy).
After the Horus Heresy, many of the Space Marine Chapters were sub-divided into smaller and newer Chapters in accordance with the newly-written Codex Astartes. See, the Chapters at the time of the Horus Heresy were considerably larger than the 1000-man strong they would later be capped at. For example, the White Scars, while still active, were subdivided into another four Chapters: the Destroyers, the Marauders, the Rampagers, and the Storm Lords.
The Salamanders were one of (if not the only one) the Chapters that were exempted from being subdivided into new Chapters because there simply weren't enough of them left to make multiple Chapters out of. Even back in the Great Crusade, the Salamanders were one of the smallest of the Legions thanks to their near-suicidal dedication to protecting civilians.
Bricky has a warhammer 40k bookclub
Blood Angels are my favorite, and the first army I started.
I highly recommend the Eisenhorn series that's hopefully getting made for TV production rn (stalled a bit due to covid). It's generally more approachable and with the overview from Bricky it's understandable. It is a story about an Inquisitor and his team in the 41st millenium, and it has very interesting insights, diverse characters and locations, and a really solid cursory impression of the types of virtues, challenges and themes Warhammer can explore without delving all of the way into the Horus Heresy series which has like 90 books (though are certainly readable on their own as an anthology). Though it does lack in the Space Marines department, they are around in appropriate places and it shows Deathwatch in their context!
Night lord primarch was one of two primarch to have been real unlucky. Konrad curze was plague with vision of the future, in which he saw lots of death. It made him highly paranoid and falled into madness.
Lmao his as for that cup is hilarious
Arbiter Ian’s lore videos are amazing. A lot just read off the wiki, his are researched using all the books GW have written. Also they are mostly 20 mins or so, so fantastic for newbies
2nd and 11th legions are for people to make own space marines, in the lore they did something so heinous that they got purged from all and every record. Dorne meantions when horus talks about 2nd legion, that no one meantion them ever again
The Eisenhorn books are great for a start
A good book to start with is Dante, sort of a biography of the current leader of the blood angels who is the oldest marine alive. But gives a good look at life as a normal person in 40k universe and then becoming a marine etc. And he is one of the few likeable space marines lol
There is NO WAY THEY WILL FIT!!! I gotta see this!!!
For books, the ciaphas cain series is really good too.
