The only thing more special than Elite Guardsmen are the Dark Satans, pick them or any Major Mini up here : www.majorminis.com.au/products/dark-satans-3-models?
Hello Majorkill,
Would you kindly make some lore videos on the Imperial Truth, the Imperial Creed, the Ecclesiarchy? Pretty please? Thank you.
That thumbnail is obnoxiously clickbait. More than usual.
Could you do a video on the 13th Penal Legion? The Last Chancers? Led by Colonel Schaeffer, these degenerate criminals go on the worst of the worst suicide missions for Guardsmen. They usually start off with hundreds in their ranks. Each mission cuts away several members until only a few bartke hardened elite members are left. Once they've completed their last mission, they are pardoned. Neat little detail from Colonel Schaeffer, he writes a pothumus pardon for any Last Chancer who dies in service. "The Last Chancer Series" is a great WH 40K Series and highly underrated.
What, no solar auxilia
Should i be concerned with the name of the model ? it sounds a little bit satanic. I'm not gonna lie.
*THE PLANET BROKE BEFORE THE GUARD DID!!!*
Cadia stands!
But the Planet Still fell, Almost doesn't matter when it comes losing an Entire planet of such strategic importance
@@timsheehan6954 But the inspiration to common people is great because of it.
CADIA STANDS!!! *stomp stomp*
@@timsheehan6954 butit does matter, even when the planet fell the Cadians did not give up. Read the books.
"Hey... remember that time some normal guy stabbed you in the chest?"
"Oh, Shut up... it was just the one time."
-Omegon, teasing Alpharius
It was alpharius teasing alpharius about being stabbed by alpharius
"We weren't expecting special forces." - some Guardsman at the elites probably
Lucifer Blacks look awesome, plus taking on a primarch makes it even better.
I wouldn't exactly call getting a lucky stab in after bumrushing said Primarch, and not even a good stab at that, "taking on a Primarch", especially since all of them died very quickly
no. plenty of space marines have gotten much better hits on primarchs. this video is about guardsman who are demonstratably actually tough as fuck. that bit of lore is like a crum. best not to think too much on it.
There are no official art depictions of a Lucifer Black sadly, so that is all speculation.
Lucifer blacks
The Shadmen of 40K and the better for it because just being in their ship tormented John Gramatitcus
@@The_Ragequit_Cannon That is still I N S A N E no matter how you look at it. Every Primarch is Jesus
The Tanith first and only regiment is by far one of my favourite guard regiments
True. But the last fact about them was incorrect. They ambushed the Traitor Marines, not the other way around.
@@timiturret148 Well it went both ways. The marines tracked them to a village which they attacked. Started slaughtering the viligers, and then they got counter ambushed. 1 got some C4 analog to the chest, a secound cut in half with a relic power sword. I don't remember how the rest died. So technicly the Tanith didn't lost anybody.
@hiperblaszter the Traitor Marine Team Sergeant got somewhere around 30 super poisoned miniature rail gun bolts to the face before dieing.
@@timiturret148 Depends on the traitor Marines, they ambushed Marines during The Founding and have been ambushed in The Lost.
@@hiperblaszter Oh sorry this scene yeah, thats true. I just thought of the in in the second book. Where they ambushed some Chaos Legionaries and rescued some imperial artillary.
A video on if magnus took the emperors replacement legion would be dope
Tzeentch fully controls Magnus and has him destroy the Golden Throne AND the Talisman!
@@christiandauz3742 Nah, Tzeentch can't. Otherwise he'd easily take over Malcador who held the Golden Throne in Big E's place.
@@rexlumontad5644
Malcador never made a deal with Tzeentch
Magnus made TWO DEALS with Tzeentch PRIOR to the Siege
Plus Magnus was already corrupted by Chaos
Once you are corrupted there is no turning back
@@christiandauz3742 Yet the good soul shard of Magnus that the latter tried to get it back became the first Chapter Master of the Grey Knights made by Malcador.
Which means Magnus can still be redeemed had he chose to take Big E's offer and be purified of Tzeentch's corruption. But unfortunately Magnus being Magnus, he rejected it one final time and there is no turning back anymore.
@@rexlumontad5644
Sure...
No one in Fantasy and 40k can turn back once they are corrupted
Magnus was corrupted by Tzeentch DURING the Great Crusade. Selling his eye as part of the deal to temporarily cure the fleshchange

This man has said “kasrkin” a different way every time, it’s great XD it’s like cumberbatch and “penguins”.
No negativity intended. Made me smile and laugh a lot.
Tbh there is no comfortable way to pronounce it. It is either Car Skin or Cat Kin for me.
@@arya31ful Okay Kasrkin kinda rolls off the tongue fairly well when u are german, u have roll the r and pronounce it german to buy time for the kin lmfao
I cant understand why. Kas-er-kin is easy to say, or kazzer-kin. Its not arabic, you dont need to gargle a cock to say it right
Kriegsman surviving.
Those words sound like heresy.
Someone's gotta become quartermaster, no matter how much they scream about it along the way.
They'll try harder next time lol
New book is out defo worth a read : seige of Vraks
Isn't there something about kreiger living long enough to get a name?
@enovos3138 yes all their commamd structure
still love mkoll's scene with the white scars. Beats three of them with spare coffee packets. Also paraphrasing when the space marine said he'd die if he beat them with his explosive charges he basically laughs and says still my win. One guardsman for 3 post human super soldiers is him making bank in his eyes.
Mkoll out stealthing that one creature before terminating it with a "You're good..." is still one of the best moments.
@@hawk4192pretty sure it was a dark eldar which is a biiiiiiit of a stretch but it was still cool as hell.
@@NerosShadow no more a stretch than the Ghosts taking out the chaos space marines without a loss :'D
Mkoll blowing up a damaged chaos dreadnought with an overloaded lasgun has to be my favorite
Which book is this in? I'm on the last Guant book and I haven't read that yet.
6:02 “oh fuck” sounds like Gary isn’t repentive enough to the god emperor
Yeaah, Jerry... I mean...the orks are what stereotype exactly? xD
And no I dont have shovel right next to me...its a spade! With sharpenede edges... for the emperor, you know? xD
He's a Kriegsman, upon promotion to a position that has a higher likelihood of getting him killed in combat his reaction should be "Oh yay!"
I don't know, Major, doing what a sister of silence says seems like a very special skill to me...
Gaunts Ghosts have something like 15 audio books available on Audible and they're all pretty good. I'm on number 8 right now and i have yet to be disappointed.
you sir, gave me hope for this world. Its time to raid the library!
I stopped at book 13, they got another narrator and made half the ghosts sound like whiney crackheads
I quit a 6, Dan doesn't know how to write an ending to save his live and he leans a bit too hard into the grimdark for my taste. I want stories where they fight hard, pay a hefty price but their death has a point.
In Gaunt's Ghosts the known characters always die like idiots. (I was going to say named but he always gives the cannonfodder names minutes before they die.) I also dislkike the constant edging of telling when someone died even though his MO means they are absolutely dead.
Even the Deathkorps novels end on a better note.
@@Jamie99608yup 13 killed it for me too. Sad.
@@Jamie99608it was a werid change, but they got Toby back for the last few books... just werid
The Ghosts are the most elite of all these here, with Scout Sergeant Mkoll being the stealthiest/scariest person in the regiment. He could sneak up on Sly Marbo and leave a message on his face with a marker with only figuring it out after he saw his reflection.
As a Former Cadian player I gotta give props to the Kasrkin, but reading the Gaunt's ghosts novels puts them on another level. Dan Abnett is already regarded as an S Tier author in 40k, and he outdoes himself with these books. You might think it's unrealistic or over the top- and sometimes it gets close to that, but it's so well written you can suspend your disbelief. It's also not afraid to show the horrors and transient nature of war. Don't get too attached to any one character, they might not make it to the next book. I've always loved the Guardsmen and they need more love, but it's still a space marine's world and everyone else is just playing around them.
Yeah. That scene (in the second book if I recall correctly) were opposing regiment order another one to bombard with their basilisk enemy position were Gaunt's is just because they don't like them was great.
I like to believe that with often each guard regiment one ups their sister regiments.
that the administratum just calls all of them the best just to save parchment
Guardmen supremacy! So glad to see the boys in green gets some grace
Kharn slaughters TRILLIONS of them without any problem!
Can't tell you how happy I was when you busted out Gaunt's Ghosts at the end, they were first on my list of predictions and legit my fav guard regiment. No one writes 'em like Abnett. Thanks for making my friday Majorkill, legend 👌
I love that you threw in the shoutout to the Ghosts. Some of my favorite 40K books and without question my favorite guardsmen.
a grenadier is actually a soldier who is particularly big and strong relative to other soldiers. historically they were tasked with throwing heavy iron grenades in the battle line. it was discovered that marching up to the enemy with all your dudes holding literal time bombs while under fire wasn't very safe or effective but the name of grenadier stuck.
The most elite and effective Guardsman Units of all? Any unit with Ciaphas Cain attached to it!
Space Marines; small in number, the irreplaceable tip of the Emperor’s spear.
Guardsman; the endlessly replaceable spear, shaft, and the men holding it.
Sly Marbo - the nuclear weapon inserting itself in the chaos titan's junk.
Props for including the ghosts maj,
Elysian drop troopers have always been a favorite of mine.
Egyptian Space Robots... that could be anyone!
You know how scions were elite? Well here's some elite of the elite that make the elite seem not so elite.
Sucks they recently lost near 14,000 scions, after an inquisitior left them behind 😮
LOOK IT'S THE LEGENDARY ONE GAL
A video of the top ten community made wholesome moments would be great
Ohhhhh, if only we had some Catachan Devils Vs Night Lords. That be a book I'd read and KillTeam I'd happily paint and play
A "What if" video with no Space Marines and just the other Imperial factions and how much progress they could make would be a neat follow up to this.
He ardy did that 2 years ago
@@chrisestabrooks8197 really? Man man, I gotta go looking through the backlog mire
@@chrisestabrooks8197 link?
Can we get a video on the impact of the solar auxilia on the Horus Heresy?
Gaunt's Ghosts are how I got into Warhammer 40k. Thank you for including them.
Here's some to consider:
What if all of the Primarchs (save Alpharius because he landed on Terra) somehow died before the Imperium discovered them? (Assume that Vulkan was never found by the Imperium, maybe he was lost in the Warp, maybe the DE got a hold of him, maybe he’s in Trazyn’s galleries, etc). The important thing is, what if no Primarchs?
If any one Loyalist and Traitor Primarch switched sides for the Horus Heresy, who would you choose for the best outcome for either the Loyalists, or the Traitors?
What if the Silent King never got rid of his Command Protocols and took (almost) all the Necrons with him out of the galaxy to perhaps find a new and better one and come across the Tyranids?
What if the Great Crusade had all the Primarchs and none turned Traitor, but there were no Astartes?
What if the Beast Orks succeeded in defeating the Imperium?
What if the Raptor Project succeeded/was never sabotaged?
How would each Heresy/Crusade-era Primarch and Legion fare against the modern Tau Empire?
Well first off the thousand sons and emperors children are fuming gone since they had problems repleneshing themselves before finding theyr primarchs, as for the rest the emperor would pretty much have to go back to how he went about doing shit în the Terran unification wars but as the great crusade, also since there would be no primarchs all the legions would be far weaker în numbers by the end of the crusade. Anothing thing is that if any of them turned traitor they would be squashed easily or at least not get anywhre close to being as succesful as they were ,în the end big E would get his Project done and humanity would be a lot better off, basically Altbtight empirum.
For the best outcome of the heresy the one primarch you reallly want to be loyal is Magnus so he can stay on the golden throne and keep the webway alive, so lets say that he doesnt break it and comes fizically back to big E you can prety much swicth whatever primarch you want cuz the entire army of the empirial palace alongside with the emperor himself would be out on the front a lot earlyer and at full strenght, meaning the final battle will go along WAY different.
Silent king would more than likely form a wall of planetary defenses around the galaxy to defeat the nids, then when he comes back(hopefully a lot weaker) he wouldnt just steamroll the other factions. I dont know that much about this one.
If no astartes a d none traitor, first off Magnus does the webway good and Emps gets altbright empirum, Angron still dies to the nails, and each primarch other than Ferrus, Vulkan,Guilliman,Dorn,Perty, would just be super special shock troop assasin forces, with theses ones mentioned alongside Magnus making the empirium at large better, Rouwboat Girlyman administrates everything, Dorn and Perty do art and fortyfications togheter, Ferrus,Vulkan alongside Perty make technology go booom and maybe Fulgrim starts a gladitorial arena.
If beast orks beat empirium than humans go extinct and become food for orks prrety much while also getting so powerful with time that they win the setting as a whole.
Superb video as always @majorkill.
Could you make a video dedicated to the Navigators, the major houses, their politics, relation to the overall Imperium and factions
"To survive war, you've gotta become war." - The first sound Sly Marbo made when he was born.
The induction to the Catachan Devils involves taking 6 shots from a revolver to the abs. While i like the Tanith 1st I've always thought Abnett gave them a bit too much plot armor or armour.
Great video majorkill. Thanks for another 10/10 lore video
These guys are pretty crazy considering how much better guardsman are to normal PDF forces. They’re comparable to our special forces
major spill
Just got my calendar a couple days ago. 11/10 would DEFINITELY buy again 👍
as they say in the military, 'quality over quantity, but quantity has a quality to itself'. means when you get to a 100vs1, the quality of the 100 doesnt matter as much. guardsmen dont come
close to the skills and abilities of a space marine. but you get enough of them together.....
Always love it when Gaunt and the Tanith First and Only are brought up. Damn good stories
Scout Sergeant Mkoll is genuinely space marine tier, the Tanith 1st and only are my eternal goats
Would really appreciate if you did a lore video about navy breachers, they don’t seem to have any, thank you and have a great day!
Seconded
Gaunts Ghost during the chaos marine ambush were like: call an ambulance, but not for me!
Glad you included gaunts ghosts. That is still one of my favourite W40K book series till date
major grill
Korn has a poster of Sly Marbo on his bedroom wall.
major skill
*sniff sniff* Gaunt's Ghosts. Good stuff, sir.
i luv u major
Video idea: Scholar progenium explained
Kasrkin are the coolest dudes in warhammer and no one can convince me otherwise
major chill
6:04 knowing the kriegsmen are we sure it isnt "fuck yeah"?
I love Gaunts Ghost's! Them and Caiphus Cain got me into the Warhammer books. That would be cool like a top 5 commissars of the imperium video.
Grenadiers goes back as watchmasters afterwards bc they often has all the experience needed to command and advice a squad.
mayor hill
Let’s go majorkill video
Since you are making an elite of the astra militarum any way, can you make a video about the imperial army and the solar auxilia?
To be fair, if I could hear more about literally anything other than space Marines, id be pretty happy
Let me tell your about the female space marines then
Hello Majorkill,
Would you kindly make some lore videos on the Imperial Truth, the Imperial Creed, the Ecclesiarchy? Pretty please? Thank you.
Male calendar now!!!!!!
There are no boobs in that
Guardsman elites are Helldivers,they even have Hellguns
Lucifer Blacks have some Dark Age of Technology tech in their arsenal thats why they re so fucking OP.
The quality and pace you put out minis puts GW to shame thank you Ser Majorkill 🙏
I was crawling round Tully in the 90 with the army. Looking for “nids” and cultist. My paratrooper mate has a space wolves tat on his gym gun. He never yelled Guard commands. But we did yell “for the Emperor” every time we charged. O what fun.
A video on the relationship between the first founding chapters and there most prominent successors would be cool
I'd like to point out Oan Mkoll being the most OP ghost in the Tanith First and Only. The chaos space marines were just appetizers. His kills alone are insane.
You make some really wicked mini's. Gonna get me some non game specific Egyptian Robots from your store. Would luv something almost exactly like the Transcendent C'tan but cooler....
Nice ghosts shoutout. I am cracking out on their books right now. LOVE EM ALL even Major Asshole Rawne. Great series its Band of Brothers in Space. 9/10
In the Vault of Terra (or Carrion Throne) book a full battalion of Scions attacks 3 Custodes, when the ceasefire is called within couple of minutes, the Scions are decimated and not a single Custodians has as much a paper cut on them.
A video about the military forces of the Mechanicus/Mechanicum/Dark Mechanicum would be cool
I love that squad of guardsmen who take down a dreadnought. I cant remember the chapter that was present, i think it was crimson fists? But they were so damn surprised that when they congratulated the guardsmen, the guardsman sargeant responded with
"Thank you sir, feel free to join in next time."
Raven guard and it's from the novel Cadian blood
A video on special penitent crusades would be awesome
Fun fact about the Kreig. While they were inspired by the WW1 Germany army, the Kreig Grenadiers were inspired by German WW1 Stormtroopers. Storm troopers were invited by the Germans to help breakthrough trenches. They would handpick people based on their independence, aggression and a few other merits, then will give them a shit ton of grenades and close quarter guns. Then when a charge on an enemy trench is planed, they would use artillery and as the artillery is calming down, these small number of storm trooper would charge in like mad men and do solo missions disrupting and and causing chaos in enemy trenches and often trying to penetrate deep behind enemy lines,while the main German infantry would eventually be sent over the top to attack those trenches. By the time the Germans got the trenches, it was easy to capture as the Stormtroopers had inflicted enough casualties and chaos in advance.
Due to how mad lad the missions were for Storm Troopers their casualties were also higher than average.
Thank you for including Gaunt's Ghosts. I woulfvr complained if you didnt, lol
Dude we need a video on ork vehicles
Gaunts Ghost are considered elite troops in the current books. They are designated the personal troops of Gaunt when he is elevated to Macrons right hand man in the latest book. They also have a super elite squad that guards a VIP in two books and they are called the Suiside kings
I wish they would add more regiments that give homage to historical units such as winged hussars (maybe a tank division or shock troops), Tuetonic knights heavy infantry, Gurkahs, or more love to the fleets such as Elite corsair units under the leadership of Drake, Turtle warship with Admiral Yi, Basiliks Artillery devastating enemies under the command of Napoleon/Old guard etc
I love the look of Tempestus Scion's armor.
Dang was really hoping to hear something about the Harakoni Warhawks when the title said "Every"
I feel like he shouldve mentioned some more feats, some Stormtroopers (the scion ones) are capable of impressing Space Marines with their skills and reliability, and i'm pretty sure there's a wiki page on another scion crew that somehow dug in and attritioned a Necron tomb to death.
Yeah, 34 Psian Vipers blew up necron tomb world on their own. Although to be fair, as far as i can judge, they stormed that tomb in a regiment strong formation, which is like 5-20 k. Scions, which is a VERY formidable force
@@user-xm5fs9yp7s damn
Majorkill is the dark emperor of the warp
Could you do a video on the old style of skitarii we see in Titanicus? I know there’s not really much lore on them but I just think some people should know about the different skitarii types beyond vanguard and rangers.
The geno 5-2 will always be the ones who shined the brightest in legion
Would be keen to see a video on the imperial palace, no ones really done one!
On the tabletop i play Vostroyans, and kitbashed my own Stormtroopers to fit the regiment. They lore wise basicly serve as Bodyguard units to high rankin officers and priests.
The ambush had a bunch of plot armor but they definitely used the right kit to get the job done. A satchel charge, a power sword, a hotshot las and a pile of civillian warm bodies to act as bullet magnets. The chaos marines were more interested in KDR than eliminating the real threat.
Gaunt and his ghosts are absolutely mad lads, I'm reading the books right now, they get a lot of shit from more pristine guardsmen but they prove their metal over and over.
What if the Emperor wasn’t able to reach Nuceria in time to prevent Angron dying from the High Riders? How would having one less available Primarch affect the heresy with more lopsided sides?
The Elysian Drop Troopers would like a word with you about what an elite guard regiment actually is
You should make kreig Corp Themed Space Marine type mfs in for one of your future Minis
I feel like he shouldve mentioned some more feats, some Stormtroopers (the scion ones) are capable of impressing Space Marines with their skills and reliability, and i'm pretty sure there's a wiki page on another scion crew that somehow dug in and attritioned a Necron tomɓ to
Mkoll is literally so OP it is insane
Please make video about Tau Navy: their ships and battles.
5:54 the happiest kriegsman in the galaxy.
Yea, I was surprised by some of the ridiculous Guardsmen Regiments that were absolutely cracked.
A video about, what if there were no loyalist elements in the traitor legions ,this would also count for omegon and magnus. So there would be no need for the culling at isthvaan and weakening of the traitor forces.. this would be very intresting to see what all the effects would be on the succes of the heresy.
Implants lookin great mate 😉
