Great video Remleiz! Ahh I may be a fairly new 40k fan but Bloodquest was one of the first official 40k media I ever dove into. It helped me solidify the Blood Angels as my favorite chapter. The twist and turns throughout the graphic novel were great! I never would’ve expected this simple neophyte who was nothing but a side-character for half of the novel to become its new protagonist. I may sound a bit selfish here but I do hope for more Blood Angels-related theories soon, hehe,
Another great video as always lore master. After having read the blood angel trilogy recently, anything about the Blood is great. I hope you are feeling better, and remember, don't push yourself to hard.
I'm a fan of the idea of Lysander joining an Inquisitors retinue, since they're fighting Chaos forces the Imperial fleet would probably have an Inquisitor or two hanging around and very un Blood Angel looking Blood Angel in a escape pod from a Chaos warship would certainly get their attention. It's also worth noting that by the end Lysander is a legit badass even by Astartes standards, fighting and beating the far larger, fully power armored and older Cloten in a duel, fighting his demon possessed Captain and winning. Lysanders talent for leadship must also be at the top of the scale since Cloten despite having been a Sergeant (iirc) basically falls in line behind him and lets Lysander take the lead.
You're going into the Warp, and you're taking a guy whose name means "Brother Who is Capable of Change"? First of all, Tzeentch is getting lazy. Second, how do you get through Astartes recruitment with a name like that? Did they narrow it down to three aspirants and pick him over two named Nurgle Pukesalot III and Bloodforth Ebloodgod?
The funny part is that in the comic he does a pretty good job of not giving in to the temptations of tzeentch (and the rest of the gods as well). But of course, that could all be part of some grand 4-step* plan by the changer of ways. (*Each step has about a hundred different sub-steps)

What would happen if he turned up at a Deathwatch base as an incomplete Astartes and requested to become a Black shield I wonder. Do they have access to stocks of gene seed and would he simply be able to admit he is a son of Sanguinius and they finish him off? Would he be rejected or admitted and remain unfinished? Would he have mixed gene seed?
Quick question: yvraine was able to bring back few of ahrimans Rubric marines back to life before banishing then to the warp. Would she be able to bring the necrons back to life similarly?
@@robertnelson9599 Considering the fact that Lucius the Eternal was able to come back after getting killed by a necron lord, I think there's at least some remnants of souls left in their bodies.
There is also the possibility that after his encounters with, and fight against, Chaos, that the inquasition could have taken him in as a Black Shield.
Considering that spending any real time in contact with Choas, or anyone or thing known to be Choatic, results in years torturous "recertification" or condemnation" at the hands of Inquisitors, who like making Astartes scream and suffer, or just straight execution, it seems that Lysander could easily opt for self-exile for his own good sake.
I used to like Bloodquest in the late 90's, nice to see I was not the only one. Did you colour the tables yourself? I am pretty, pretty sure those were all in black and white, like the rest of the stuff on Warhammer Monthly.
you should do a video on if the mechanicus revolted against the imperium they are already a very antonymous faction and they only get by with alot of shit because the mechanicus make the imperium run
Refer to the novel Dante by guy Haley. This mentions the process that all the new organs and gene seed are added during their year long slumber which is what happened to Dante (Luis)
Sadly eBay's your best bet these days. GW did re-issue the comics into a hardback, coloured graphic novel a few months ago as a made to order product, but it's no longer available from their site.
I loved the blood quest, one of my favourite GW stories and best graphic novel. Loved how it explored a Daemon world and the chaotic inhabitance. Still have my prized original copy of the collected stories in. Unlikely would love it if they actually reintroduced Lysander into the lore.
@@40KTheories It's possible? Those who become Blackshields ditch all traces of their former life. The fact he's a neophyte is the only issue with this theory
glad to have you back, Remliez! speaking of Blood Angels who never got any closure, was there ever any clarification on who leads the Sanguinary Guard now? Blood of Baal said it was Caraeus, the last First-born member of the Guard to survive, but 9th Ed says it's some guy named Daeanatos. Or has that just been left up in the air so far?
There's one thing that bugs me concerning the idea that Vandoth is Lysander. He's mentioned as having an ancient bolter. If it is Lysander's bolter, then it wouldn't be ancient. It'd be fairly recent given it was the bolter of a scout marine. If it is a Chaos Marine's bolter that he's stolen, then it could be an ancient bolter but it'd also be chaotically tainted. Vandoth seems like a hold over from the Heresy rather than Lysander IMO.
Remember that it's not so much an ancient boltgun, but that it's an ancient _pattern_ of boltgun. It could potentially have been an older model that was still in service (as some chapters do still maintain stocks of older equipment). But yes, your point is nonetheless valid ^^
@@40KTheories Oh yeah, that's true. I didn't consider that it's actually a pattern and not the boltgun itself. That does lend more credence to it being Lysander.
Just a note, I find it very interesting how the Chaos Planet Eidolon is spelled the exact same way that the Emperor's Children Company Commander's name was spelled, and he was never truly confirmed dead after the collapse of the Canticle City and rebuilding afterwards. Eidolon the planet and Eidolon the Chaos Astartes may be connected in more than name, as the planet may have first had it's sickening competition started by the forces of the Emperor's Children under command of Eidolon's forces as a means to garner recruits or even allied warbands for Abaddon's Black Crusade which Eidolon often is participant to. I believe that Brother Proteus has fallen under the influence of the re-unified forces of the Emperor's Children under Eidolon's command, and that given Eidolon's history as the first Astartes personally promoted by Fulgrim, this will lead Brother Lysander and Brother Cloten into conflict with the re-unified Emperor's Children in whatever warpscape they now inhabit. What do you think?
Neophytes should be kept out of the scout company. Black Library has zero military pedigree and it shows. The scouts should be specialized veterans. The Neophyte should get all organs,implants and training then sent to the 10 companies. The chapter numbers cap is so crippling. Any kind of loop hole should be used. I made sure I did this with my homebrew. An example I don't count the Apothecarion against my 1000. I use fleet operators and desthwatch to cycle veterans in and out of the battle companies.The primaris made this so much easier to do with my homebrew. Doesn't matter what Genesee they are the organs will work and as a fleet based using a red scorpion style selection is not as negative to the chapter on sustainability of fighting strength.

I was fortunate enough to pick up the Warhammer Presents comics that had some of these stories. A very happy find
Everyone is asking where is Lysander, but no one is asking how is Lysander? Especially the fact he was in the warp and stuff.
But Why is Lysander? 🤔
who is Lysander?
More importantly in the chronodistortion of the warp, when is Lysander?
I just obtained him as a hero today in the mobile game Lost Crusade.
@@Grabthar191 hope you didn't spend anything on another reskinned build city and army cash grab game.

Astartes give aspirants new names upon becoming neophytes, or when they achieve great deeds, or just when they feel like it.

If the C'Tan have still devoured the Necrons' souls, then no. GW keeps changing that bit of lore.
I think that would depend on if the Necrontyr souls exist in the warp.

The Necrons all have Schrödinger's soul, Yvraine just needs to take a peek to determine if it's there or not.
Friend of mine said he saw Lysander at the store one day.
Let me guess, he went out to get some cigarettes?
@@40KTheories how did you know? 🤣
I kind of wish we got a Blood Angel Lysander model. Just an HQ or Elite that's a single scout model.
There's nothing stopping you from converting a Scout Marine miniature
There is also the possibility that after his encounters with, and fight against, Chaos, that the inquasition could have taken him in as a Black Shield.
Wasn't this a comic published in Warhammer Monthly. I could have sworn I've seen this recently!
Also who did the coloring? It looks amazing!
It was indeed.
The images are from the coloured version of the comic, which GW released in hardback roughly six months ago.
Great video as always, but what story was this? This seems like a great read
Bloodquest :)
When I read Lysander I was thinking Imperial Fist and not Blood Angels.
every time i hear "comes back to the material realm" or any varaition of this I always think "because he WAS IN FACT a material girl"
I love this comic since the time when it came out! But only today, January 27, 2022, I found out that there is a version in color):
another possibility is that he joined the deathwatch as a blackshield
Ah, yes.
