Death Spectres Chapter - the equivalent of the Night's Watch who are stationed beyond the borders of the Imperium and currently maintains a constant vigil to ensure that the inhabitants of the Ghoul Stars never again threaten the galaxy.
Why does no one ever bring up the fact they have the ability to come back from death out of pure fucking will and psychic power. The main character of Deathwatch by Steve Parker, Lyandro Karras, has come back from death like 4 times.
I think one of the scariest thing about this area is that there’s no chaos there, so no daemons, yet the Tyranids still noped the fuck out of this area even though there could potentially be some biomass there. Something that can make the tyranid hive mind give up food like that is worthy of our concern !

I tend to favour the idea of the Necrontyr originating here. It has been mentioned more than once that the Necrontyr/Necrons discovered multiple other dimensions in their search for SPF 30+ Sunscreen and even created some pocket dimensions for their own use based on these discoveries (Like the little clubhouse the Deathmarks chill out in before plane-shifting into battle to snipe fools in the face). . It would make a lot of sense that the Necrontyr accidentally discovered said nightmare dimension in this time and with all their spacetime fuckery, either weakened the fabric of reality enough to allow the nightmare dimension to push back, creep/leak in or just ran out of interdimensional no-more-gaps and forgot to get some more before either civil wars or the Old Ones became a more pressing issue. . Although, having said that, the death of the Flayer C'tan was said to have serious, permanent affects on the galaxy and the very fabric of reality itself due to all C'tan being a fundamental part of existence. Its the reason why the Necrons never killed another C'tan and made sure to only ever shard them after his death. So it also fits that his death may have resulted in the creepy voodoo/fundamental wrongness and inherent, contagious madness that permeates the Ghoul Stars. Especially considering how the only Necron Empire to remain there had almost every single Necron in it save for the overlord reduced to a Flayed One.

I like the idea that just like caos and the Warp have the eye of terror, this third nigthmare dimension has the ghoul stars. Imagine the prospect of christian inspiered deamos fighting against lovecraftian inspired entities It would really give Warhammer a breath of freash air in terms of big baddies, and since it would be a third unexplored dimension that is non-warp related, it dosent really mess up pre-existing lore.
I admit it would be cool but a lot of the chaos demons have some lovecraft inspiration anyway (especially the spawns) There would be a lot of work to differentiate some of them.
I don't think it would give fresh air. I think it would lessen the impact of chaos, that is already lessened by the "Unfhatomable C'Tan" and the "Innumerable Tyranids". At some point, I think on the contrary the Warp is under-utilised with just the basic chaos fuckery, while it could have a lot more supernatural effects like those described in this video.
I would love for Trayzn to pokeball Angron and then release him in the ghouls stars. "There you go Angron, blood for the blood god and all that. Just remember you're already insane so the stars affect can't hurt you"
Just stars filled with Death Monsters, Ghosts of lost demented souls, Necrons dripping in strange meats and . . . . . . . The bois at 5am on a Saturday morning after a night of Mums and Dads.
Here's my theory: If the warp is the source of spirits and souls, what about nulls and pariahs? They supposedly have no soul, hence their nullifying effect on warp based fuckery, and yet they still live as if they have some sort of anti-soul. Now what if this new nightmerish dimension is the source of the null's powers and anti-souls? It could also have been actually created as a pocket dimension by the c'tan and necrons by accident during the war in heaven.
@@umutsen5606 Wardens are rank of Adeptus Custodes, they are veterans with with at least 5 centuries of service for the Emperor. They are recognizable by carmine red cloaks they wear over their armor.
There is one faction that we all know and love that live there. The Death Guard. Their codex more or less says that once they found out that this is a place where no one can live they said "challenge accepted" and moved on in some time after the great scouring. As of the current narrative, they're having to send an entire plague company there because of some major problem. Even the Death Guard are having a rough time of it.
It's a good idea though it's probably more probable that he stays out of a sense of regret for unleashing the Flayer virus in the first place when his Dynasty completely annihilated the C'tan The Flayer
Hopefully if they add a new race it'll be one from the Ghoul Stars. Personally I'd love to see the Barghesi added who are apparently more violent than the Orks and 'Nids put together, although that said theres basically no information about them other than 'they bad juju and need several marine chapters to keep an eye on them'
you do not know what horrs you ask be re lived, it is bad enough that they have scarred the minds of those now perished, let the memory die, let the horror suffocate
Yo, that Maybellie line made me genuinely laugh out loud. You can tell you enjoyed that break, the writing on this video is a step above your already hilarious videos. Great job MK 👍
Man I hope you’re right about there being an entirely different Nightmare-like dimension where an entirely new (relatively speaking to the current timeline) threat can emerge.
The Imperium's new strategy for taking out the Chaos Primarchs "Hey Lorgar, I heard there are real gods in the Ghoul stars that deserve real worship." Lorgar departs immediately "That's 1 down" "Angron, I heard a rumour that in the Ghoul Stars there is this creature that regenerates its head and can never die, Imagine how big your skull throne could be" Angron leaves immediately "Wow this is easier than expected" "Oh Fulgrim, have you heard about the Ghoul Stars, Reports are there is a creature that has 10 titties and seventeen vaginas that can't be pleasured" Fulgrim leaves immediately "This might actually work" "Perty, some sassy creatures in the Ghoul Stars say they have created a fortress that cannot be beaten, apparently they said yours were crap" Perturabo leaves immediately "Four down now, I'm really on a role here" "Magnus, buddy, The Ghoul stars called and said they have much stronger psychers and have near infinite knowledge there" Magnus leaves immediately "Alright just one more as I ain't going anywhere near Morty. He stinks" "Alright, which one of you is Alpharius, no seriously which one" "We are all Alpharius" "You can't all be Alpharius, at least one of you must be Omegon, seriously come on now which one of you" "Everyone is Alpharius" "Wait, am I Alpharius? No that's crazy I'm not Alpharius, I think. You know what fuck it 5 out of 6 ain't bad"
Have the chaos gods ever talked about this place? If they're is a nightmare realm then chances are they have there own gods. Nightmare gods vs chaos gods sounds really cool.
Chaos already has the Eye of Terror as it’s major entryway into the materium. It wouldn’t surprise me that the Ghoul Stars are the other dimensional entry point for the Nightmare “Frontier”.
I just realized what caused the ghoul stars to become so horrible, the flayed one c'tan was killed there, thus chasing that dimensional viel to weaken making it such a shitty place
Overlord Valguhl(?) probably stays to keep his people contained to the ghoul stars. So the flayer virus does not spread to other Necron Tomb Worlds from where he is.
Plot twist: The Flood from HALO (The entire universe of HALO at this point has colonized it once again, for 2K years and has been in hiding until someone opens it up. The Imperium opens it up and we have another faction against the Tyranids and Chaos.
It would make the Ghoul Stars so much better if it was a place hostile to even Chaos and was its own threat with its own aliens and shit, like if it was just weird previously unknown force of chaos that would feel cheap. Also whats the background music used at 4:20?
I've wanted to get into painting the models for a while. I love listening to you talk about the lore. If this is going to be consistent thing you put out my first Warhammer model might be yours.

@@dennisnordlund902 i mean there are some decent people out there in india but until the old people die out were still going to see stupid people then the gamer gentration will rise
IF the ghoul stars are home to a unshattered C´tan its proberbly the Outsider. Some legends says that it alone among its kind was never shattered and was driven insane by the Laughing God. So if we give the Outsider reality warping powers it is possible that there are no third dimension creatures, but that they where living creatures maybe even just single celled organisms caught and twisted by the insanity of The Outsider into what they became.
It could also be the place where the flayed one c'tan got killed. They say that you can't kill a c'tan else reality itself becomes more unstable, so that could've cause that area of space to become e so horrible.
From what I understand The Flayer virus is age old and not really a virus but more of a curse the Necrons suffered for killing one Star Gods can't spell their names.
I hope GW keeps the cosmic horror feels towards the ghouls stars because its refreshing to see other xenos, lovecraftian creatures, and other dimensional entities being put of the story and being a treat to the galaxy maybe even more so than the chaos gods because im getting tried of seeing chaos always being the big bad in the story, i Don't hate chaos or the gods of chaos but its getting old and needs to take a backseat for awhile but maybe this lovecraftian theme towards the ghoul stars will bring some much need life toward the series, even if GW doesn't do this hopefully GW writes more stories about other xeno races like sslyth or lear, the rak gol, khrave, the hrud and other underrated xenos races to include the tau because this chaos thing is starting to get really fucking old

I can’t find anything about the Fiends home world being immune to exterminatus. The wiki just says that they found an empty world but by that time they got word the third war for Armageddon had began.
Man I just started really ramping up my Black Templar army and was looking through a list of crusades and other lore to set up the lore for my army. I saw "The Ghoul Star Crusade" and instantly developed a storyline around a second crusade there. (Using units I have and am working on) It involves a second crusade led by Helbrecht to the Ghoul Star sector to quell the returning threat of Varghul at an unprecedented scale. The new crusade finds old Black Templars in MK 3 armor and an ancient dreadnought from the first crusade that were lost in the warp or potentially the nightmare realm before the first crusade ended. They slipped back to realspace sometime before the second crusade found them and reinforced their efforts. Upon world hopping and reclaiming lost planets, the second crusade stumbled upon a long-lost and secret forge world of the adeptus mechanicus and notified them of the discovery and reclamation. In return for this extremely valuable service, the adeptus mechanicus issue a crusader class titan to the Black Templars to help further their mission of cleansing the region of xeno filth and as a reward for their valiant efforts.
A place so damn twisted and dangerous that not even the insanity of Chaos or the Tyranid want to be there… spooky stuff. The fact that an entire dynasty of Flayed Ones operates there being the least enigmatic, dangerous and spooky shit speaks volumes.

It would really give Warhammer a breath of freash air in terms of big baddies, and since it would be a third unexplored dimension that is non-warp related, it dosent really mess up pre-existing lore.
I admit it would be cool but a lot of the chaos demons have some lovecraft inspiration anyway (especially the spawns) There would be a lot of work to differentiate some of them.
I don't think it would give fresh air. I think it would lessen the impact of chaos, that is already lessened by the "Unfhatomable C'Tan" and the "Innumerable Tyranids". At some point, I think on the contrary the Warp is under-utilised with just the basic chaos fuckery, while it could have a lot more supernatural effects like those described in this video.
I would love for Trayzn to pokeball Angron and then release him in the ghouls stars.
"There you go Angron, blood for the blood god and all that. Just remember you're already insane so the stars affect can't hurt you"
Imagine being so twisted that the Tyrannids see you and go "haha, ye, no thanks bro"
You know its a bad neighborhood when your nearest "named" star is Desperation.
Just stars filled with Death Monsters, Ghosts of lost demented souls, Necrons dripping in strange meats and . . . . . . . The bois at 5am on a Saturday morning after a night of Mums and Dads.
*Strange Meats*
Here's my theory: If the warp is the source of spirits and souls, what about nulls and pariahs? They supposedly have no soul, hence their nullifying effect on warp based fuckery, and yet they still live as if they have some sort of anti-soul. Now what if this new nightmerish dimension is the source of the null's powers and anti-souls? It could also have been actually created as a pocket dimension by the c'tan and necrons by accident during the war in heaven.
I like this theory that the energy from the Ghoul, Halo and Tyrant stars can create nulls would be superb
Every astartes chapter is Gangster until there was no Astronomicon on the other side of Galaxy.. Except for templars..
What would happen if tyranids were able to absorb custodes biomass since they hold genes from emperor himself ?
@Ian Yoder is the in other way,since custodes are older that thunder warrios and astartes and better in any way
so astartes are a downgrade
@Random Grey Knight what is a warden? Where can i find this story
@@umutsen5606 Wardens are rank of Adeptus Custodes, they are veterans with with at least 5 centuries of service for the Emperor. They are recognizable by carmine red cloaks they wear over their armor.
@Random Grey Knight They were not able to absorb the Custodes they killed
There is one faction that we all know and love that live there.
The Death Guard. Their codex more or less says that once they found out that this is a place where no one can live they said "challenge accepted" and moved on in some time after the great scouring. As of the current narrative, they're having to send an entire plague company there because of some major problem. Even the Death Guard are having a rough time of it.
I like the idea that the old Necron Overlord with his Flayed Kingdom is actually only there to protect the reality destroying weapons left by his kind
It's a good idea though it's probably more probable that he stays out of a sense of regret for unleashing the Flayer virus in the first place when his Dynasty completely annihilated the C'tan The Flayer
Hopefully if they add a new race it'll be one from the Ghoul Stars. Personally I'd love to see the Barghesi added who are apparently more violent than the Orks and 'Nids put together, although that said theres basically no information about them other than 'they bad juju and need several marine chapters to keep an eye on them'
The events of the Lion's Primarch novel also took place in the Ghoul Stars IIRC, and the Khrave do have some major Lovecraftian vibes themselves.
Maybe they'll use it as a new faction in the future with Slaugth and Rangdan being some of the units.
Can you do a lore on the Black Templar crusade on Furry land?
Go watch it yourself. It’s a small series made by flash gitz
you do not know what horrs you ask be re lived, it is bad enough that they have scarred the minds of those now perished, let the memory die, let the horror suffocate
No, too sad. Such sacrifice.
Yo, that Maybellie line made me genuinely laugh out loud.
You can tell you enjoyed that break, the writing on this video is a step above your already hilarious videos. Great job MK 👍
Every Ghoul star is just my dirty ass room entering real space
The theorie with the lovecraftian dimension connectet to the rangdang is one of the best theories i ever heard
0:47 chaos stormcast eternal with frostmourne, ok NOW this is EPIC
I suggest retreating to build fortifications Sigismunds.- Rogal Dorn
Man I hope you’re right about there being an entirely different Nightmare-like dimension where an entirely new (relatively speaking to the current timeline) threat can emerge.
I made a custom Penal Legion that are stationed near the Ghoul stars just to be that much more grim dark
I was thinking of making a custom guard regiment base outta a world next to the system. Probably like a death world or near death.
I did not need to see Shrek like that. That may have been more cursed than the Ghoul Stars.
Crazy xenos, a flayer dynasty, and other unknown dangers that screw up even hive fleets...I know where my Rogue Traders are going next.
I am from India and this intro was spot on brother
I am the thumbs down. I grieve for your losses. Best of luck moving forward.
I know right people thought that after the vaccines were made covid will vanish from existence
Bruh if they introduce a third dimension with lovecraftian creatures I'll be super excited
My day was made better to have discovered that Majorkill watches FlashGitz.
Oh you know they are colabing on the Black Templars vs the Furies saga.
"what are the ghoul stars?
well, they aren't a ghoul made of stars I can tell you that much!
haha kill me!"
Loved it.
Must be a truly horrific place since even ravenous space bugs went insane after briefly being there.
It is there are locations that have nothing to do with the warp yet are love craft in nature.
The Imperium's new strategy for taking out the Chaos Primarchs
"Hey Lorgar, I heard there are real gods in the Ghoul stars that deserve real worship."
Lorgar departs immediately
"That's 1 down"
"Angron, I heard a rumour that in the Ghoul Stars there is this creature that regenerates its head and can never die, Imagine how big your skull throne could be"
Angron leaves immediately
"Wow this is easier than expected"
"Oh Fulgrim, have you heard about the Ghoul Stars, Reports are there is a creature that has 10 titties and seventeen vaginas that can't be pleasured"
Fulgrim leaves immediately
"This might actually work"
"Perty, some sassy creatures in the Ghoul Stars say they have created a fortress that cannot be beaten, apparently they said yours were crap"
Perturabo leaves immediately
"Four down now, I'm really on a role here"
"Magnus, buddy, The Ghoul stars called and said they have much stronger psychers and have near infinite knowledge there"
Magnus leaves immediately
"Alright just one more as I ain't going anywhere near Morty. He stinks"
"Alright, which one of you is Alpharius, no seriously which one"
"We are all Alpharius"
"You can't all be Alpharius, at least one of you must be Omegon, seriously come on now which one of you"
"Everyone is Alpharius"
"Wait, am I Alpharius? No that's crazy I'm not Alpharius, I think. You know what fuck it 5 out of 6 ain't bad"
Magnus would only go if he thought Emp’s would forgive him.
Have the chaos gods ever talked about this place? If they're is a nightmare realm then chances are they have there own gods. Nightmare gods vs chaos gods sounds really cool.
Chaos already has the Eye of Terror as it’s major entryway into the materium. It wouldn’t surprise me that the Ghoul Stars are the other dimensional entry point for the Nightmare “Frontier”.
They have said they are blind to it and can't go there/see that region of space
I just realized what caused the ghoul stars to become so horrible, the flayed one c'tan was killed there, thus chasing that dimensional viel to weaken making it such a shitty place
when even the space bugs of death nope out of this zone you know you should probably as far aways as you can too
Overlord Valguhl(?) probably stays to keep his people contained to the ghoul stars. So the flayer virus does not spread to other Necron Tomb Worlds from where he is.
Hoping to see a new xeno void/lovecraftian faction come from this region
It might actually make me interested in playing again after 12 years
Plot twist: The Flood from HALO (The entire universe of HALO at this point has colonized it once again, for 2K years and has been in hiding until someone opens it up. The Imperium opens it up and we have another faction against the Tyranids and Chaos.
Even the tyranids are afraid to go there. We need more lore on this
Love 40k lore! As if the current horrors aren't enough.
Finally a video that covers the ghoul stars that place is as mysterious as it is terrifying.
It would make the Ghoul Stars so much better if it was a place hostile to even Chaos and was its own threat with its own aliens and shit, like if it was just weird previously unknown force of chaos that would feel cheap.
Also whats the background music used at 4:20?
I now REALLY want some lore where we have the forces of chaos battling Lovecraftian monstrosities in the ghoul stars.
That would be great! Having Chaos battling the Imperials or xenos all the time is tiresome.
~Timmy's real parents.~
...Do we DARE speak of such creatures, even in W40K?
I've wanted to get into painting the models for a while. I love listening to you talk about the lore. If this is going to be consistent thing you put out my first Warhammer model might be yours.
Your community interaction is befitting a much larger channel (I'm sure you'll continue growth especially with tw wh3), not to mention the surprising depth of lore in your videos hidden behind a parodical presentation. I found out about your channel from a tw wh2 mod that adds your persona into the game (which is done exceptionally well).
Last time I was this early major was still making fantasy videos
Yeah, we do have a lot of "chaos being the culprit behind these shenanigans" things going on, it's nice to know that there are still scary, dangerous organisms out there that are grounded in """reality""".
Here in India everyone is a Death Guard Space Marine
People in india are rather nurglings
@@dennisnordlund902 i mean there are some decent people out there in india but until the old people die out were still going to see stupid people then the gamer gentration will rise
@@hinapatel7327 don't be rude to our indian brethren brother
Black Templars: We will purge this system!
Ghoul Stars: What are you looking at smooth skin?
Death Specters: (have probably the worst job of any space marine chapter)
Lamenters: Finally a worth challenger!!
So Death Specter video when?
Seriously though loved the video sir!
That "ghoulie woolies" line got me pretty good. Keep up the great content!
Major Kill, the space elf death Lord I bought had a malformed left foot. And the fantasy Major-kill didn't have an axe.
Hey man I’m still waiting for my Dragon Ogre video
I am DEFINATELY writing in this place!
IF the ghoul stars are home to a unshattered C´tan its proberbly the Outsider.
Some legends says that it alone among its kind was never shattered and was driven insane by the Laughing God.
So if we give the Outsider reality warping powers it is possible that there are no third dimension creatures, but that they where living creatures maybe even just single celled organisms caught and twisted by the insanity of The Outsider into what they became.
It could also be the place where the flayed one c'tan got killed. They say that you can't kill a c'tan else reality itself becomes more unstable, so that could've cause that area of space to become e so horrible.
Thx for covering the ghoul/ghost stars one of my favourite Necron books call severed is based there
From what I understand The Flayer virus is age old and not really a virus but more of a curse the Necrons suffered for killing one Star Gods can't spell their names.
(looks down and sighs) I miss Timmy. The beatings, the berating. He is the missing, abused red headed step child part of you, Majorkill.
You have chosen some extremely beautiful galaxy artwork for this video
And now that I thought I knew everything there was to know about this univers BAAAAAMMMM New material I just love it
Persuade, Baldermort and Leiuten to make models. I'd make a custodes army out of lore masters such as yourselves. Others would too. :P
Working on it
When even the tyranids of all things avoid it you know it's bad
Majorkill never fails to make me laugh a dozen seconds into the video lmao
MAJORKILL: "A third, horrific dimension."
THE WARP: "Am I a joke to you?"
If I remember correctly, didn’t a hive fleet enter the system in that location
I hope GW keeps the cosmic horror feels towards the ghouls stars because its refreshing to see other xenos, lovecraftian creatures, and other dimensional entities being put of the story and being a treat to the galaxy maybe even more so than the chaos gods because im getting tried of seeing chaos always being the big bad in the story, i Don't hate chaos or the gods of chaos but its getting old and needs to take a backseat for awhile but maybe this lovecraftian theme towards the ghoul stars will bring some much need life toward the series, even if GW doesn't do this hopefully GW writes more stories about other xeno races like sslyth or lear, the rak gol, khrave, the hrud and other underrated xenos races to include the tau because this chaos thing is starting to get really fucking old
"Mankind found all five infinity stones and threw the one ring into the fires of mount doom".
Well, looks like a wonderful holiday destination
Awwww hell yeah! On ya major kill! only 6 comments so far, see how many when I done watching the vid.
44 comments.....comeone lads, we can do better than that for a new upload!
God I worried this was gonna be a space jam lore vid
I can’t find anything about the Fiends home world being immune to exterminatus.
The wiki just says that they found an empty world but by that time they got word the third war for Armageddon had began.
Great reference to Flashgitz m8 XD
Throughout the whole thing I kept thinking Malice/Malal.
Like for the above average Maybelline joke. Nice job.
Man I just started really ramping up my Black Templar army and was looking through a list of crusades and other lore to set up the lore for my army. I saw "The Ghoul Star Crusade" and instantly developed a storyline around a second crusade there. (Using units I have and am working on) It involves a second crusade led by Helbrecht to the Ghoul Star sector to quell the returning threat of Varghul at an unprecedented scale. The new crusade finds old Black Templars in MK 3 armor and an ancient dreadnought from the first crusade that were lost in the warp or potentially the nightmare realm before the first crusade ended. They slipped back to realspace sometime before the second crusade found them and reinforced their efforts.
Upon world hopping and reclaiming lost planets, the second crusade stumbled upon a long-lost and secret forge world of the adeptus mechanicus and notified them of the discovery and reclamation. In return for this extremely valuable service, the adeptus mechanicus issue a crusader class titan to the Black Templars to help further their mission of cleansing the region of xeno filth and as a reward for their valiant efforts.
My Majorkill models are on their way! Pretty damn excited to get my hands on them!
The Ghoul Stars sound a lot like the upside down in the Stranger Things TV show
Can anyone make a Rylanor model? I would likw to use it as a statue to worship.
You know the place is shit when the tyranids avoid the fucking place like timmy knowing that he will never be free
A place so damn twisted and dangerous that not even the insanity of Chaos or the Tyranid want to be there… spooky stuff.
The fact that an entire dynasty of Flayed Ones operates there being the least enigmatic, dangerous and spooky shit speaks volumes.
