    NOTE: At 5:48 for some reason my editor decided to error so ignore the power of the warp...
    Back with the follow on from the Birth in the Imperium - How do Chaos Marines replenish their numbers. Apologies if my voice is not 100% in this video, it was very hard to get through due to my still ongoing vocal health issues. Hopefully we'll return to something a little more medium-dark for 40K for the foreseeable this was especially bleak lol

      oh no, no, no, I mean, burn the planet to the ground, sure, but the Iron Warriors deserve a far more punishing.. .. punishment than death and returning to the dark gods.
      Put them in a void. Nothing there, no connection to the warp, no means of starvation, no espace. They can not do anything forever except killing themselves, which I guess they will not do. That will drive them mad.
      Sadly, I can't think of something similiar that exist in WH40k. Except that "uncanon-realm"

      Jonathan Schmidt as Inquisitor Horst said on the topic of exterminatus on a chaos infested planet “some may question my right to destroy a world of ten billion souls, but those who truly understand realise i have no right to let them live”, death is a kindness in the case of chaos.

      This is the part that really get's me - the Marines have to much to lose, as their fanboys keep forgetting all the time. It's the Guard that not only fight 95% of all battles for the Imperium, and it's also the Guard that does so in the most epic way - all the horrors of the galaxy are arrayed against them, and they achieve victory against all of this horror time and time again. Marines doing what they were augmented and armed and armored to do is to be expected, Guardsmen doing it with a 'laser-pointer' and 'wet T-shirt' is always more epic.

      @@logandickerson5628 Marines are also considerably more valuable than guardsmen, and they know it. There are 1.002 million space marines, including Grey Knights and the Custodes. There are billions upon billions of guardsmen. Guardsmen also replenish much, much faster. As a result, space marines should really avoid death when they can.

      Nothing you just said is wrong, just completely bereft of context or nuance. Of course there will be cynical, darker elements to everything that happens in a Grimdark science fantasy universe. I'm talking about the sliver of hope behind the cynicism. The fact that even people who have been through the absolute worst, whose minds are completely shattered and whose souls have never known peace, can still have a sliver of faith, and then use that faith to do something that mattered, is quintessentially human. And it wasn't faith in some cold, faceless, alien gods, but in themselves and each other.

I find this to be true with Dark Souls, and to a lesser extent, DnD as well, where there's just so much fans do with jokes, humor, memes, and just generally having fun.

      @@buttpiratesbuttpirate5913 and yet chaos space marines exist? I think that's more of the in universe propaganda part of the lore talking than the truth of the matter.
      Think about it, they're put through a harrowing process just to have the body of an Astartes, then they go through the training of an Astartes which is hellish in its own right, then they have to go do things that a regular imperium soldier couldn't endure mentally or physically.
      Especially when it comes to chaos, Astartes can't risk becoming emotionally attached unless they want to drop their guard or lose a bit of their sanity trying to kill people they once cared for. It's actually safer for an Astartes to *care about nothing other than the mission* unless they want to risk becoming a liability.
      imo, I think their mindset would be closer to a soldier whose been in an active & constant city-turned-battlefield for 20-40 years. It's hard to imagine them being anything outside of emotionally drained or defensively(?) apathetic. Such a lively and expressive show of sympathy would be a rarity.
      So I still find this to be a rarity, and a nice one at that.

      It is the 41st Millennium. For more than a hundred centuries The Emperor has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Earth. He is the Master of Mankind by the will of the gods, and master of a million worlds by the might of his inexhaustible armies. He is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with power from the Dark Age of Technology. He is the Carrion Lord of the Imperium for whom a thousand souls are sacrificed every day, so that he may never truly die.
      Yet even in his deathless state, the Emperor continues his eternal vigilance. Mighty battlefleets cross the daemon-infested miasma of the Warp, the only route between distant stars, their way lit by the Astronomican, the psychic manifestation of the Emperor's will. Vast armies give battle in his name on uncounted worlds. Greatest amongst his soldiers are the Adeptus Astartes, the Space Marines, bio-engineered super-warriors. Their comrades in arms are legion: the Imperial Guard and countless planetary defence forces, the ever vigilant Inquisition and the tech-priests of the Adeptus Mechanicus to name only a few. But for all their multitudes, they are barely enough to hold off the ever-present threat from aliens, heretics, mutants - and worse.
      To be a man in such times is to be one amongst untold billions. It is to live in the cruelest and most bloody regime imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of technology and science, for so much has been forgotten, never to be re-learned. Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim dark future there is only war. There is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting gods.

      @JOHNPHILLIP8619 IIRC, it was Graham McNiel. I could be wrong. I remember reading the entire series of books that lead up to the events discussed here.
      The fellow who wrote the 8e Dark Eldar codex actually had his first draft of the codex nixed, or numerous portions of it, because he'd gone way overboard in the Grimdark and hadn't even noticed until his co-workers read his stuff. They just handed it back to him and told him it needed to be toned way, way down. WAY down.
      I used to fancy myself an amateur author, though I've never published anything. This can happen *very* easily. You get in a groove, you get lost in it, in the characters and the environment and it consumes so much of your attention that you forget you're writing not just for an audience but a publisher. You've got it all planned out, the character development, the themes, the plot devices, the story arcs, the twist, the beginning the middle and the end and you fall right in only to re-read what you read two weeks ago and wonder if you really are a well adjusted person, or some kind of psycho.

    "You made us! NOW SUFFER FOR YOUR ARROGANCE!"
    The Unfleshed are so tragic, so horrifying, yet so weirdly endearing. Beings born of evil, yet evil did not rule them, for they still remembered the touch of the light. I know in the sequel, the Lord of the Unfleshed, before his inevitable death, wept and said to Uriel that the Emperor could never forgive them for the 'bad things' they had done, and Uriel assured him that the Emperor still loved them and always would, before giving the Lord a merciful death. Stories like this one show to me that the whole '40k has no good guys' thing to be completely false. There IS good and evil in the Grim Darkness of the far future, it's just not always easy to tell the difference at first glance.

    Honestly, I find the workings of Chaos to be fascinating in the worst possible of ways.
    The whole aesthetic of Chaos and the Immaterium in general has some serious Lovecraftian vibes going on, and at first, I thought the theme would be pretty much the same: Humanity being confronted by forces far beyond their comprehension, sickened by the horrifying nightmare that is reality. And that's the thing about Chaos, but it goes beyond that.
    Lovecraft's monstrosities are impersonal, alien and utterly detached from the human experience. Chaos is anything but that.
    Happy we were on our way to discover what unknown horrors guarded the stars. And who would've thought? It was us. The horror was us all along. These demonic power that threaten us from every direction are abominations of our own creation: our fears, our depraved desires. Our disgusts, cravings and petty hatreds. All that is negative about the human experienced compressed and molded into these nightmarish forms. The stuff that makes the very building blocks of the Warp, and all the horrors within, is the stuff that makes Humanity and all creatures alike.
    I find that realization much more disgusting, dreadful and horrifying than the sickening descriptions of the Daemonculaba, or any other spawn of Chaos.
    The most frightening thing about Chaos...it's that we are Chaos. The fight against Chaos is but a lashing out against the mirror held at our faces, a lifting of the facade to be confronted with the twisted reflection of the darkest of our Nature. This darkness that rests within all of us, ready to burst out at any moment, this monster we are so eager to ignore and keep hidden, this abomination we simply refuse to face.
    Chaos truly is so much more than any Xenos race threatening Mankind. This is not just a fight against literal demons. This is a fight against OUR literal demons.
