Corax is too hateful to die. Vulkan can't die cuz he just wants to embrace the whole galaxy in a hug. The most humble has been blessed with the greatest gift.
Yeah, it is even stated that he is just few generations away from the marines that were exiled by their forgetten primarch. Some of those marines are now in dreadnoughts, so, they're as old as bjorn
@@Alexander-uf9ls assuming the Charchies were the Raveguards exiled by Corvus, and the fact they were exiled before the Horus Heresy, while being all Terrans from before Corvus discovery, this would make him "OLD".

@@hummerskickass Considering how much effort is to awake old Dreadnoughts I really doubt he could use for long naps lest he risk to never awake again since he has no external aid at all
@@masterblaster5186 Yeah, I think Rylanor also was missing from this list. I don't know if its expressly stated, but depending on when that was, its entirely possible he was older than Bjorn is now. I'm not that familiar with 40k chronology, so I might be very wrong as I am not sure how much Rylanor was born before Bjorn. I think Rylanor was one of the first Emp's Children though.
@@cp1cupcake Rylanor was born earlier than Bjorn Rylanor hailed from the first, Terran generation of the Emperor's Children. Rylanor had the singular honour of fighting beside the Emperor of Mankind during the Unification Wars, with the battle honours "Roma" and "Thule" etched into his armour. His history was the history of the III Legion, and he had been the first to carry the Palatine Aquila standard into battle alongside his newfound primarch
You missed a salamander that remained alive inside a crashed expeditionary fleet since the horus heresy only to deliver a mesaage to the modern chapter master and to protect and care for the remnants of all of his batlebrothers. If I remember correctly when he was found he was so old that his armor had been locked in place and he could no longuer move or something like that.
Probably should have a separate list of oldest dreadnoughts. Honorable mention for Lord Marest of the BAs. Only mentioned in a chapter of Devastation of Baal, but dude was Chief Librarian before being dreadnought-ified, and is “older even than Dante” but that’s all we really know about his age. He also had himself assembled in a little chamber he’s too big to ever leave and just guards the door to the Vault of Marest, the supermax prison/reliquary under the fortress monastery on Baal. Dude just sits there, awake but immobile, for CENTURIES, with only the occasional visit from Chief Librarians that have followed.
I think it's worth mentioning, that not all Space Marines age the same way, depending on who their Primarch was. Blood Angels age significantly slower, and age much better compared to other Space Marines. It is also important, that after a millennia in what state is the Space Marine is. If they are just old, aged, while still combat ready, or are ancient, greatly aged, with health issues, and weakened cartilage, incapable of fight. Sorrowfully there isn't much lore on this.
@@majorkill Well hello there. Indeed. You also mentioned the Iron Warriors aging even better. I think I was still watching the video, when I wrote this, or that it is the second part that is important. As Dante is in his full power after 1500 years, while Sigismund was pretty beaten up at 1100. It was just interesting to mention.. again.
3:38 I'm not kind of sure about this. Space Marines survive ridiculous things. I remember Space Marines having special technics on how to kill other Space Marines. Like striking in-between the two heart, and such, that's an insta kill. More experienced chapters have doctrines on this. In this case, this is Sigismund. The man was the most experienced warrior specialized in killing Chaos Space Marines. And Abaddon, was nowhere near enough OP, to take it, and survive it. If there would've been any other Chaos manipulation, it would've been understandable. But Sigismund, hit the spot. The spot. So it is very plot armorish.
Given the nature of chaos mutation altering Astartes phisiology with “gifts”, Abbadons unusual descent as a gene-son of Horus, and the fact that he has worked extensively with both The Dark Mechanicum and Fabius Bile, there are literally infinite plausible reasons why DECAPITATING Abbadon wouldn’t kill him.
@@SlaaneshiChosen_Carmena Eh. The things is, you can be right. There can be gifts given to chaos, for which boons are received. Nurgle worshippers survive more. It's just a bad taste in the mouth, that the guy survives everything, and feels very plot armorish.
8:55 It would have been glorious to see a TTS Bjorn the Fell-Handed and how he roasts the Space Wolves who are all "WOLF WOLF WOLF WOLF WOLF WOLF" lunatics.

@@joshtompkins1538 the twins dont use stasis its stated in the novels " Older Carcharodons like Sharr tended to find it increasingly difficult to rest, even through the longer voyages. It was said Te Kahurangi hadn’t used his tank for many centuries. Sharr could believe it."
So i don't know how old he was, but janus of the grey knights was still alive during the war of the beast. We don't have an end date for his age either, but he was at least 1600 on top of time in the warp
I love that you constantly showcase fan mini's despite not being into the tabletop side of Warhammer. Makes your community all the more fun to be a part of.
Leman calling Bjorn “one hand” in the book was funny to me, of course it was because of his lost hand but Leman even said “I can’t see the end of your saga” not exact but dude was like “bro you’ll live, so I want you to learn from our mistakes” of course he lost his hand during the fight with the Thousand Sons, can’t wait to get that book.
Deathworlder, you forgot about Asterion Moloc, while we aren't sure exactly how old he is we know that an "Asterion" has been leading the Minotaurs for probably over one thousand years.
@@quanghuynguyen7957 there is zero evidence that Moloc has been around since M32, they even state in the Regents Shadow that the administratum isn't even sure if the Minotaurs we know of today are the same ones as before
Ok I genuinely don’t think Bjorn is gonna Die when Leman Russ returns. I think Logan Grimnar is going to die in his quest to find Russ, and due to instability within the chapter about his successor, since each great company will want their Wolf lord to be the successor, Bjorn will be forced to cross the Rubicon and become the chapter master. Only then, when the chapter is at its weakest internally, barely being held together by a reborn Bjorn, will Russ actually return. But that’s just my thoughts on it.
Great video, I really liked hearing about these space marines. It made me think (always a difficult task) if the Big E didn't found inspiration on the Orks. I mean... When the Old Ones were assaulted in their retirement homes by hordes of soulless killer robots and the C'tan they made their own super solders that were virtually immortal. Obviously Big E didn't want the Astartes to reproduce like mushrooms so he... Took away their ability to use certain parts of their antomy... But on the whole I can see him looking at the orks durability and saying to lady Astartes "that, make me something like that." Anyways, I wonder if Majorkill will, for a future video, list the characters that has been declared officially dead the most only to get better. Deamons are out but characters like Lucius and Khan or Living Saints that do die and get res by their gods may count or even better characters like Ciaphas Cain that were declared dead so often that even now he is listed as in active duty.
Good to see that we have updated to add Bjorn I would probably agree that his body is only about 2k or so years old but his mind is most certainly MUCH older because warp spaghetti and his habit of STANDING SENTINEL OVER FENRIS IN THE WARP
@@ryokajimosensei2780 It's funny, because Chapter Barges and Archives get damaged a lot, due to the Nature of what Space Marines do, but older Dreaddies rarely get seriously damaged or destroyed on the battlefield. Even if the ship is boarded, the most unluckiest one is the one that meets the awakened Venerable Dreadnaught.
Wouldn't the Chapter Master of the Ultramarines Agnathio be worth mentioning here? He was chapter master at 646.M32..And was later encased in Dreadnought armour following the Fall of Chundrabad in 141.M36 according to Lexicanum. That would make him about 3500 + at least 2-3 centuries of service to get promoted in the first place, guy's still around even in his dreadnought form.
4:13 Dante really should go get some major therapy to work out his issues. Mr. Perfect Cell: "Oh please, there isn't a shrink qualified enough to deal with that hot mess!" Alucard: "Ohohoho but I am."
"LEEEEEEEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOY JEEEEEEEEEEENKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINSSSSSSSSS!" -Attributed to Perturabo, Primarch of the Iron Warriors, during his charge against the Hrud
Wasnt there a heresy era Salamander on a crashed ship that had been guarding something without stasis? Im sure he had just been sat on a throne waiting to be found without stasis for 10,000 years
I just finished Pandorax. In that novel there's a Grey Knight who stood guard over something for 10,000 years in the sus coma and woke himself up when Chaos found what he was guarding. So he technically wasn't in stasis.
Obek, the first forge father, who guarded the ship, made by Vulkan himself. He was found by Salamanders expedition in M41, but his further destiny is unknown
What about Tangata manu of the space sharks ( Carcharodons ). After reading the book “the silent hunter” it mentions that the Chaplin Tangata is easily over 1000 to even 2000years old because he has been hunting the stolen void glass for around 1453 years. Pretty interesting book and it’s rather new (October 2021).
It literally defies what a Carcharadon are. NO CARCHARADON SCREAMS/CREATES A SOUND IN COMBAT. And yes i am a Space Shark fan and when i read that "Novel" i just had a brain tumour.
Rylanor couldve been an option, but im not sure how much time passed between the virus bombing of istvaan 3 and his reunion with fulgrim, i was under the impression it couldve been a thousand years or more and he was awake for all of it.
what about Epimetheus of the Grey Knights, introduced in the novel "Pandorax". Watching over an important artifact on the planet he comes out of his self-induced trance to take part in the battle, only to be captured at the end by Abbadon. In a vision in the Dark Angels Omnbius, he is seen as still being held in the Eye of Terror, albeit without limbs, hanging from chains with a 'blank' sutured to his back to prevent him using his massive psychic powers.
Wasn't there a space marine in the Pandorax campaign that was one of the original Grey Knight founders? With hints that he was originally a fallen dark angel?
There is a character from one of the salamanders books, a marine that has been sitting guarding and artifact for thousands of years. I need to find the book to get his name and time alive.
It's been mentioned a few times that modern marines age much quicker than heresy era marines. This would explain why at 700ish, Logan grimnar is grey haired and considered super old, and why non-blood angels basically never hit 1000 years old without shenanigans like Lysander. A modern space marine would probably die naturally around 1000 years old, depending on their lineage
@@BloodyArchangelus I hope they age even faster, eventually making Guilliman begin treating the Primaris as Emps did with the Thunder Warriors, returning to the use of the Firstborn, but tries to do something to ensure that they can be older, with the production time of Marines being faster, with less recruits dying on the operating table.
When you realize that due to warp fuckery there are some Chaos space marines that were in the Heresy as little as less than 24 hours ago, and as long ago as 50 thousand years.
I don't know, I believe two more honorable mentions should be here, like that old salamander from the salamander novels and that word bearer dreadnaught, although he didn't see so much action.
Bjorn who sleeps most of the time counts, but ahriman who was became an astartes during the unification wars doesn't count? I mean, ahriman has a far longer active service prior to the end of the HH...
Russ was the 2nd Primarch found so the gap isn't that much and Arithman went in the Eye because the Scouring while Bjorn led his new "Chapter" for a centuries before being put into Dread then 500 years of active
@@huntermad5668 the stock which Ahriman came from fell in the early part of the unification war. At one point it was eluded to during the ahriman trilogy and I thin even A thousand Sons, that they were of the earliest Astartes. Space marines were tested during the Unification wars. Those ended in the early M30, well before the 2nd primarch was found. The great crusade did not really get underway until M31
Well this should be interesting, I plan to bring back the Blackshields from the heresy since what lore there is says they dissappeared for an age implying they turned up again in m40. So you have an army with veterans more than 10k years old.
Majorkill is a true legend, just love how u make this shit sound like a bar conversation ( Australian headspace is more often than not good ass bar chat)
"G'day guys and gal." I cannot express in words how much better hearing this phrase makes my day. Also, what about that Loyalist Word Bearer Dreadnought?
Just think how depressed Dante would be if he finally did fall in battle and was looking forward to finally being dead, just for them o throw him into a dreadnaught saying that he’s too important to die and has to continue to live
How I imagine wholesome papa Bjorn times: GATHER ROUND NOW CHILDREN! - 40-50 full grown space marines nervously shuffle in and sit in a circle on the ground next to the massive dreadnought. Some techmarines made a comfy chair big enough to hold Bjorn. YOU THERE LAD, WHAT IS YOUR NAME AND RANK? ... I'm Bargleflorp, 400 years old, captain of the 7th company and veteran of 37 campaigns. HO HO HO VERY NICE, YOUNGLING! YOU'LL MAKE A FINE WARRIOR SOME DAY!
you kinda forgot about the word bearer who didnt turn with his legion. was captured to use as a living bible of sorts. kept by the Priests of the emperor who wanted more info on the new bible that everyone is glued to. . Seem he was used to help create the church and kept in a contemptor dreadnought. in secret for over 10k years.
If you're including Dreadnaughts you also have the Anchorite, a word bearers loyalist who essentially directed the imperial cult for 10k years - he might be older than Bjorn but its hard to know On top of that there's a Salamander in the Salamanders trilogy who has been trapped on a ship for thousands of years - the exact amount of time is a little hazy but he's potentially a great Crusade era marine - he's essentially fused with the ship by that point (think the crew flying dutchman crew from pirates of the carribean) but he's still very much alive - he has to be left on the planet as the Salamanders present didn't have enough time to evacuate him from the ship Last ones, and these guys come under the same category as the eye of terra Marines, but the space wolves of the 13th company that were trapped in Magnus' maze on Prospero during the burning are technically well in the 10k years range, and they've since been free'd (and literally nothing has been done with it since, sadly)
Time in the warp is so chaotic it basically evens out. It’s been stated that there are millenia long conflicts in the warp in the span of several terran seconds and there have been ships that took quick dips in the warp only to emerge thousands of years later from the outside observers perspective. This of course isn’t factoring in bizzare time travel examples where people were spat out before they went in, which makes the question really complicated. The second time you fight a chaos marine, he might be younger then when you first fought him.
>Dante gets head cut off, stake through the heart and body burned Dante: FINALLY!!!! >GW slaps some green stuff on him and roll him back into the primaris pit GW: GET BACK IN THERE CASH COW! Dante: oh... okay i guess
Iron Hands have loads of characters that are over 1000 years old, extensive bionics can keep their astartes rolling. Almost all of their Helfathers are pretty much just a brain in a jar linked into yoked-up power armor, that’s not even counting the full-on cyber resurrection they get into with the Keys of Hel.
I still find it funny bjorn was being cheeky and hid in a pile of bodies so he could yell “BOO!” And ambush an enemy squad only for his brothers to walk by and get a laugh out of it
Another dreadnought, quite older then Bjorn, was Rillanor: he had fought for many years even before Fulgrim was discovered at the end of the unification wars, and, assuming he blew the virus bombs recently in 40k timeline (we don't really know) he would have be the most ancient human, including Primarchs, surviving consistently outside the eye of terror, possibly older the Kharn and Fabius bile. Bjorn was very young by the time Russ departed and was left behind, so it was not old by the time the heresy ended, if even born.
Some furioso dreadnoughts are stated to be 10,000+ years old as they took part in the Horus heresy. In one book it states that Dante regularly sought their council.
That would make Garro over 10,000 years old. Not sure even that old warhorse could last that long….but if anyone could it would be that bad ass battle captain.
I think Bjorn the fellhanded is going to resume the title of chapter master of the space wolves, in the book spears of the emperor and astartes who could not even be entered into a dreadnuaght was given the primaris treatment and brought back to full combat operational status. I think Bjorn eventually gets the same treatment and will lead the spacewolves one last time and reunite with Rus.
I remember reading that each time they try to wake up Bjorn, he takes a shitlot of time to. That's why they don't wake up him except in situations that NEEDS him. When the month of shame started, they woke him because he is maybe the most respected marine alive to negotiate with the inquisition and the GK. Also because Logan is a braindead muscle guy but yeah :')
God: can you imagine being somebody where your only remaining personal desire is just to die, but not only does knowing that someday you're going to have to save someone's life keeps you from seeking that death, it actually keeps you preserving your own life so you can? I would argue that there is no Astartes who has ever lived who is more loyal to the emperor than Dante.
Pretty sure some of the traitor marines are younger than alot of loyalists. I remember reading (can't remember which book) that to some of the traitors the invasion of Terra was only a few weeks/months prior to them emerging from the warp 10k years later.

Anyways, I wonder if Majorkill will, for a future video, list the characters that has been declared officially dead the most only to get better.
Deamons are out but characters like Lucius and Khan or Living Saints that do die and get res by their gods may count or even better characters like Ciaphas Cain that were declared dead so often that even now he is listed as in active duty.
Lucius does not count for he is a waste of time effort eggs and some man’s nut
3:34 Abaddon: "Oh look, I've been impaled."
Save me magic warp spaghetti
Good to see that we have updated to add Bjorn
I would probably agree that his body is only about 2k or so years old but his mind is most certainly MUCH older because warp spaghetti and his habit of STANDING SENTINEL OVER FENRIS IN THE WARP
Wont these old marines make a great information archive for the new space marines
Basically what Dreadnaughts are.
@@oliverp3545 but these ones are organic so, it'll feel like an actual grandpa retelling his stories
Yeah MAYB. More like salt archives.
@@ryokajimosensei2780 It's funny, because Chapter Barges and Archives get damaged a lot, due to the Nature of what Space Marines do, but older Dreaddies rarely get seriously damaged or destroyed on the battlefield. Even if the ship is boarded, the most unluckiest one is the one that meets the awakened Venerable Dreadnaught.
Wouldn't the Chapter Master of the Ultramarines Agnathio be worth mentioning here? He was chapter master at 646.M32..And was later encased in Dreadnought armour following the Fall of Chundrabad in 141.M36 according to Lexicanum. That would make him about 3500 + at least 2-3 centuries of service to get promoted in the first place, guy's still around even in his dreadnought form.
4:13 Dante really should go get some major therapy to work out his issues.
Mr. Perfect Cell: "Oh please, there isn't a shrink qualified enough to deal with that hot mess!"
Alucard: "Ohohoho but I am."
Lmao now I have to watch Helsing Abridged
How to shut up MajorKill…
Tie his hands behind his back.
Thank goodness there are no Old Folk homes in 40k! You're never too old to slave awa- I mean serve the God Emperor!
Heretic

Wasnt there a heresy era Salamander on a crashed ship that had been guarding something without stasis? Im sure he had just been sat on a throne waiting to be found without stasis for 10,000 years
I just finished Pandorax. In that novel there's a Grey Knight who stood guard over something for 10,000 years in the sus coma and woke himself up when Chaos found what he was guarding. So he technically wasn't in stasis.
Veteran Gravius, though I can't remember off hand which novel he was found in, but it was the Tome of Fire trilogy.
Obek, the first forge father, who guarded the ship, made by Vulkan himself. He was found by Salamanders expedition in M41, but his further destiny is unknown
"Siggie gets cut in half and passes away peacefully". Well, I guess that's about as peaceful as you're going to get in this universe.
Grimderp lol😅
"Sigi then gets cut in half and passes away peacefully" lmao xd
9:40 Me: "Bjorn sure did give that Daemon Prince of Khorne one hell of a thorough pounding."
George Takei: "Ooooh mmmmy!"
Me: STOP IT!
What about Tangata manu of the space sharks ( Carcharodons ). After reading the book “the silent hunter” it mentions that the Chaplin Tangata is easily over 1000 to even 2000years old because he has been hunting the stolen void glass for around 1453 years. Pretty interesting book and it’s rather new (October 2021).
It literally defies what a Carcharadon are.
NO CARCHARADON SCREAMS/CREATES A SOUND IN COMBAT.
And yes i am a Space Shark fan and when i read that "Novel" i just had a brain tumour.
Luther, he wasn’t in the warp, he was held in the Rock for the past 10,000 years in a cell and tortured, only recently escaping
True but Luther is not a Space Marine just augmented to hell and back
Majorkill makes an upload on the day my Influenza peaks-- yall know what, I think I'll be fine now.
Rylanor couldve been an option, but im not sure how much time passed between the virus bombing of istvaan 3 and his reunion with fulgrim, i was under the impression it couldve been a thousand years or more and he was awake for all of it.
what about Epimetheus of the Grey Knights, introduced in the novel "Pandorax". Watching over an important artifact on the planet he comes out of his self-induced trance to take part in the battle, only to be captured at the end by Abbadon. In a vision in the Dark Angels Omnbius, he is seen as still being held in the Eye of Terror, albeit without limbs, hanging from chains with a 'blank' sutured to his back to prevent him using his massive psychic powers.
At least he has some company.
I was also thinking about him one of the first grey knights
Wasn't there a space marine in the Pandorax campaign that was one of the original Grey Knight founders? With hints that he was originally a fallen dark angel?
There is a character from one of the salamanders books, a marine that has been sitting guarding and artifact for thousands of years. I need to find the book to get his name and time alive.
Veteran Gravius, and from a previous comment I'm going to guess it was the Salamander novel.
Honorable mention: Any Thunder warrior that has survived to M42
You should read "Darkness in the Blood" to see Dante is struggling to stand up as opposed to what you said "He is still nearly at his prime"
It's been mentioned a few times that modern marines age much quicker than heresy era marines. This would explain why at 700ish, Logan grimnar is grey haired and considered super old, and why non-blood angels basically never hit 1000 years old without shenanigans like Lysander.
A modern space marine would probably die naturally around 1000 years old, depending on their lineage
now we have primaris. it would be interesting to see how primaros would age.
@@BloodyArchangelus I hope they age even faster, eventually making Guilliman begin treating the Primaris as Emps did with the Thunder Warriors, returning to the use of the Firstborn, but tries to do something to ensure that they can be older, with the production time of Marines being faster, with less recruits dying on the operating table.
When you realize that due to warp fuckery there are some Chaos space marines that were in the Heresy as little as less than 24 hours ago, and as long ago as 50 thousand years.
Not many Aussie Warhammer 40k creators out there. Great video! Subscribed and cheers from Queensland!
I don't know, I believe two more honorable mentions should be here, like that old salamander from the salamander novels and that word bearer dreadnaught, although he didn't see so much action.
Glad you made this one!
I get so damn excited everytime one of your vids goes up
If someone made a montage of Majorkill just hating on Abbadon, I wonder how long that would be.
Bjorn who sleeps most of the time counts, but ahriman who was became an astartes during the unification wars doesn't count? I mean, ahriman has a far longer active service prior to the end of the HH...
Russ was the 2nd Primarch found so the gap isn't that much and Arithman went in the Eye because the Scouring while Bjorn led his new "Chapter" for a centuries before being put into Dread then 500 years of active
@@huntermad5668 the stock which Ahriman came from fell in the early part of the unification war. At one point it was eluded to during the ahriman trilogy and I thin even A thousand Sons, that they were of the earliest Astartes. Space marines were tested during the Unification wars. Those ended in the early M30, well before the 2nd primarch was found. The great crusade did not really get underway until M31
Adeptus Ridiculous need to have you on an episode
Love your content far above everyone else on UA-cam lore+laughs=majorkill
Well this should be interesting, I plan to bring back the Blackshields from the heresy since what lore there is says they dissappeared for an age implying they turned up again in m40. So you have an army with veterans more than 10k years old.
Majorkill is a true legend, just love how u make this shit sound like a bar conversation ( Australian headspace is more often than not good ass bar chat)
"But it will be super wholesome and it will make Dante super fucking jealous." Made me laugh like hell for some reason.
*Dante at a funeral, crying under his golden mask* "It was supposed to be my turn next.."
So if you think about it the lord commander dante still has a couple thousand years of life which i absolutely love
I recall that there was a loyalist word bearer dreadnought that is still kicking (Yeah.... I didn't wanna believe it either)
"G'day guys and gal."
I cannot express in words how much better hearing this phrase makes my day.
Also, what about that Loyalist Word Bearer Dreadnought?
Just think how depressed Dante would be if he finally did fall in battle and was looking forward to finally being dead, just for them o throw him into a dreadnaught saying that he’s too important to die and has to continue to live
Love every time MajorKill say "H'Durr".
How I imagine wholesome papa Bjorn times:
GATHER ROUND NOW CHILDREN!
- 40-50 full grown space marines nervously shuffle in and sit in a circle on the ground next to the massive dreadnought. Some techmarines made a comfy chair big enough to hold Bjorn.
YOU THERE LAD, WHAT IS YOUR NAME AND RANK?
... I'm Bargleflorp, 400 years old, captain of the 7th company and veteran of 37 campaigns.
HO HO HO VERY NICE, YOUNGLING! YOU'LL MAKE A FINE WARRIOR SOME DAY!
Majorkill yesssir clicked immediately!
you kinda forgot about the word bearer who didnt turn with his legion. was captured to use as a living bible of sorts. kept by the Priests of the emperor who wanted more info on the new bible that everyone is glued to. . Seem he was used to help create the church and kept in a contemptor dreadnought. in secret for over 10k years.
Great video, always a fun listen.
If you're including Dreadnaughts you also have the Anchorite, a word bearers loyalist who essentially directed the imperial cult for 10k years - he might be older than Bjorn but its hard to know
On top of that there's a Salamander in the Salamanders trilogy who has been trapped on a ship for thousands of years - the exact amount of time is a little hazy but he's potentially a great Crusade era marine - he's essentially fused with the ship by that point (think the crew flying dutchman crew from pirates of the carribean) but he's still very much alive - he has to be left on the planet as the Salamanders present didn't have enough time to evacuate him from the ship
Last ones, and these guys come under the same category as the eye of terra Marines, but the space wolves of the 13th company that were trapped in Magnus' maze on Prospero during the burning are technically well in the 10k years range, and they've since been free'd (and literally nothing has been done with it since, sadly)
Time in the warp is so chaotic it basically evens out. It’s been stated that there are millenia long conflicts in the warp in the span of several terran seconds and there have been ships that took quick dips in the warp only to emerge thousands of years later from the outside observers perspective.
This of course isn’t factoring in bizzare time travel examples where people were spat out before they went in, which makes the question really complicated. The second time you fight a chaos marine, he might be younger then when you first fought him.
Ok I now absolutely love wholesome "back in my day-" dreadnought grandpa Bjorn.
This is the only setting where getting cut in half is "passing away peacefully"
>Dante gets head cut off, stake through the heart and body burned
Dante: FINALLY!!!!
>GW slaps some green stuff on him and roll him back into the primaris pit
GW: GET BACK IN THERE CASH COW!
Dante: oh... okay i guess
Space Wolf: "Come recruits, it is story time with Papa Bjorn."
Iron Hands have loads of characters that are over 1000 years old, extensive bionics can keep their astartes rolling. Almost all of their Helfathers are pretty much just a brain in a jar linked into yoked-up power armor, that’s not even counting the full-on cyber resurrection they get into with the Keys of Hel.
Dante: please let me die
Emperah: lol no bro, heres more duties
I still find it funny bjorn was being cheeky and hid in a pile of bodies so he could yell “BOO!” And ambush an enemy squad only for his brothers to walk by and get a laugh out of it
A good future video for Valentine's day would be "is there love in the warhammer universe."
Alpha Primus would certainly count as he's been active for the last 10,000 years doing cawls wetwork jobs.
Another dreadnought, quite older then Bjorn, was Rillanor: he had fought for many years even before Fulgrim was discovered at the end of the unification wars, and, assuming he blew the virus bombs recently in 40k timeline (we don't really know) he would have be the most ancient human, including Primarchs, surviving consistently outside the eye of terror, possibly older the Kharn and Fabius bile.
Bjorn was very young by the time Russ departed and was left behind, so it was not old by the time the heresy ended, if even born.
You take that back! My boy Bjorn will never die!
Always nice to hear love for the Iron Warriors
Some furioso dreadnoughts are stated to be 10,000+ years old as they took part in the Horus heresy. In one book it states that Dante regularly sought their council.
"Siggy then gets cut in half and passes away peacefully lolz"
What about Nathaniel Garro? We don’t know he’s been killed, and he is solidly in the too stubborn to die category.
That would make Garro over 10,000 years old. Not sure even that old warhorse could last that long….but if anyone could it would be that bad ass battle captain.
He’s probably in the warp tickling Nurgle, that would knock a few thousand years off him.
Thanks Majorkill you saved me a lot of pain and suffering because I was indeed just about to get my foreskin in a twist
I think Bjorn the fellhanded is going to resume the title of chapter master of the space wolves, in the book spears of the emperor and astartes who could not even be entered into a dreadnuaght was given the primaris treatment and brought back to full combat operational status. I think Bjorn eventually gets the same treatment and will lead the spacewolves one last time and reunite with Rus.
No
I remember reading that each time they try to wake up Bjorn, he takes a shitlot of time to. That's why they don't wake up him except in situations that NEEDS him. When the month of shame started, they woke him because he is maybe the most respected marine alive to negotiate with the inquisition and the GK. Also because Logan is a braindead muscle guy but yeah :')
"Foreskins in a twist..."
I'm gonna use that line.
Yo Majorkill, you gonne cover Total war Warhammer 3 ??
God: can you imagine being somebody where your only remaining personal desire is just to die, but not only does knowing that someday you're going to have to save someone's life keeps you from seeking that death, it actually keeps you preserving your own life so you can?
I would argue that there is no Astartes who has ever lived who is more loyal to the emperor than Dante.
Pretty sure some of the traitor marines are younger than alot of loyalists. I remember reading (can't remember which book) that to some of the traitors the invasion of Terra was only a few weeks/months prior to them emerging from the warp 10k years later.
Dantioch story Iron Within in the Age of Darkness HH Novel is one of my favorite WH40k stories. Definitely check it out
You look like the stereo type aussie I have in my head :D
Great video again.
Dante: “I can’t take it anymore. I just want to die!”
Dreadnaughts: “We all wanna die.”
*Any character dies in 40k* Dante: GODDAMNIT
“Cut in half and passed away peacefully”
babe wakeup majorkill uploaded
I want to see Timmy. Questioning you more. Love your videos. Great job. Keep up the good work.
Sigismund's last words are pretty haunting if you think about it.
"You will die as your weakling father died. Soulless. Honourless. Weeping. Ashamed"
The lack of Rylanor here is outstanding.
