- Sometimes I think we all forget that Warhammer 40k is TRULY a terrifying horror setting... even if you're one of the 'good guys'.
So in this video I'm going to share with you my personal favourite freaky, spooky, and just plain strange Loyalist space marine chapters which will remind you just how creepy the Imperium of Mankind can truly be...
Also, if you liked this video and want me to do more Lore content PLEASE LET ME KNOW!! I really enjoy doing it and would love to do more :D
And yes, you heard right... I painted every single chapter on this list, so check back in a few weeks to see a video all about painting these guys super tiny!

Krakeny goodness! I wonder if the armour colour is specifically done with ink from the creatures that they hunt... Squid ink is sort of indigo coloured and a Kraken is a bit like one?
Clearly a successor champter of the Bood Angles
Thank you for your "clean" and "pure" language. My ticket to the English-speaking world
Dark krakens deep dive!
I've only recently got into Warhammer, not with molding or books, but with the video game Warhammer 40,000 Darktide, the lore is amazing the game looks amazing, would you consider doing a one off play of the game ?, anyway your videos are also awesome, can't wait to hear more lore.....thank you
Definitely casting my vote for Dark Kraken lore video! ✋
yessss
Right? I wanna know how we get from nocturne to nactis!
I love my Krakens, I love lore, and the conversion opportunities!
Seconded
I need more Dark Krakens! They so cool
And far better than space sharks in my opinion
Lol the Dark Kraken librarian saying "don't hurt my fish friends" is definitely on brand for Salamanders. Wholesome boyos c:
"40k is a horror setting" That says so much with so few words and gives a great impression of EVERYTHING in the game so much better than a lot of pop culture depictions
Horror IS pop culture
Exactly. It's military cyberpunk with a very strong Lovecraftian element/influence.
Haha yes! Thinking of 40k as a horror setting was just like ... " Yeah, that makes sense as to why I like this hobby..."
The thing is the 40k setting is so large and expansive that it can literally serve as the backdrop for anything, you could even make slapstick comedy or a romance novel in the 40k setting. I don't really think everything needs to be grim dark and edgy for it to have a place in the 40k universe.
You need light in order to have darkness.
I think it's honestly hard to define 40k at large as one genre because it contains such a variety of them in different media interpretation. Like the Watcher novel was straight up, actual existential horror, then Ciaphus Caine's novels are more like a military farce parody, then you have Gaunt's Ghosts that takes it to more of a gritty, espionage/guerilla action environment, Horus Heresy reads like borderline biblical epics, and then Eisenhorn (from what I understand, haven't cracked that open yet) is a political intrigue detective series. All of those books are still about just the Imperium with a variety of tones.
This isn't to say that variety is bad, I think it's one of 40k's strengths that there's something for almost anyone in this universe. It does make it hard to pin down what 40k as a whole falls into, though. Not to be contrarian, but personally, closest genre I'd describe it as in a phrase is "Gothic Scifi."
6:35 in the book "Dante" it's explained that the Blood Angels' practice of artistry and beauty is to help hone their focus and concentration, so they can more strongly resist the Red Thirst and Black Rage- new recruits spend a year practising arts and crafts before they even start combat training. Definitely makes sense they'd fall to it more easily when they give up the thing that helped them fight it!
Came here to post this, that's exactly how it works!
The bros that only took basket-weaving were the first to go :P
*glitterglues macaroni grimdarkly*
I love the Salamanders and would love to learn more about their watery kin. Please do a Dark Krakens video Louise! 🙏
And maybe the other ultima salamander chapters too please
Uh oh! You leaked the Emperor's Grief warcry!
SOMETHING SOMETHING LOYALTY! SOMETHING SOMETHING KILL!
Ultimate Warrior is of course, one of the few humans large enough and incoherently violent enough to pass as an Astartes.
This comment has total understanding of Destrucity
*(MANLY SKRONK SOUNDS)*
what about Mike Tyson, I mean he literally bit a dudes ear off and put 88 percent of his opponents to sleep with his fists.
@@techmarine83 hey even space marines lose once in a while, but mike tysons record is still very impressive, and he is savage enough to bite a dudes ear clean off.
*refueling a thunderhawk* "LOAD THE SPACESHIP WITH THE ROCKET FUEL! LOAD IT WITH THE WARRIORS!"
The sister of battle picture actually has a “sister of sin” shoulder pad. The Rainbow Warrior was the good guy in that image.
the plot thickens!
I would argue that there are no good guys in the 40K settings. Isn't that what the video is about? Besides, the only thing necessary for one loyal force to fight another is just one overly zealous inquisitor.
@@withoutatrigger Sure sure, depicted faction is called the sisters of sin and they worship chaos. While I suppose it doesn’t clear the rainbow warriors of any suspicion it definitely adds context.
I thought the bane of the Rainbow Warriors was French Special Forces?
Well, looks like the Dark Krakens are my favorite new chapter. Thank you!
Mine too!
The Dark Krakens are calling out for a kitbash with some Idoneth.
You've inspired me to make a Thousand Sons subfaction of corrupted Rainbow Warriors. Prism Warriors sounds like a good cheeky reference.
Does the Imperium just assume they are Pink Floyd fans? I am just imagining the Dark Side of the Moon album over is their shoulder icon lol
I hope Mortifactors get a mention, they're my favorite of all the creepy chapters, while also being just wholesome in their own quirky ritualistic way.
Loved reading about them in Warriors of Ultramar. Their audiodrama "Taker of Heads" is fantastic too. They also had a chapter in the "Successors" anthology.
They're what I'd describe as Kroot but Space Marines.
Oddly enough, Mortifactors are also probably one of the more 'progressive' Astartes chapters in terms of adhering to the Imperial faith. They recognize the rot in Imperial society that comes with blindly clutching doctrine and law too strictly. Definitely an interesting mix that this chapter is, probably one of my favorite chapters at the moment
"Wholesome" is the last word I'd use to describe those cannibals.
The mortifactors and the Flesh Teasers should be best buddies (or worst frenemies), as they dig the whole cannibalistic thing.
@@gilledgar2243go read the tiny amount of lore that exists on the Libators, another "wholesome," definitely G-man's geneseed, Ultramarines successor :P
BLOOD FOR THE EMPEROR!!!
Given that Space Marine get a special organ that lets them consume memories of people that they eat, cannibalism is probably fairly common for space marines. (Which support your hypothesis of 40k being a horror setting)

'The Reverie' by Peter Fehervari goes into detail of how the Angels Resplendent became Penitent. It's also a fantastic read as it shows how the horror genre can still apply to space marines.
"They see the Emperor as a great and powerful spirit called the Ultimate Warrior"
And now I just pictured Big E gorilla press dropping Horus
If you want to learn more about the Angels Resplendent, the Undying Martyr and how they all fit together I can’t recommend Peter Fehervari’s work enough. The books Fire Caste and the Reverie and the short story The Crown of Thorns all have subtexts that weave together and let you piece the mystery together. It’s probably some of the most engaging fiction Black Library has right now
While I wholeheartedly recommend checking out all of Fehervaris work (he is by far my favourite 40k author), I do feel the Reverie is by itself enough to piece it together ;)
@@PavelThorsonos Eh. The Reverie sets up why the Resplendent would be willing to listen to the undying martyr. Fire Caste and the Crown of Thorns let you figure out who the martyr actually is and how he got to Canvolis. But you’re right this is an undisguised attempt to get the Arkan more exposure. My favorite subplot in the dark coil is the Arkan inadvertently getting payback on the Resplendent. The fact that the boys in gray had no idea that yeeting the creepy preacher into a swamp brought about the total ruination of everything the chapter that helped conquer their homeworld stood for is hilarious
Heyyy wait a minute; I'd recognise your painting style anywhere and you painted a mini for each faction! Very thoughtful and understated touch. Great vid too, much thinking fodder for a kitbashed successor chapter thank you for all the lore ideas!
An interesting shift from painting and history of miniatures to Lore. But this is one, maybe the only aspect of 40K that I enjoy, making up or following one's own obscure and cursed chapter.
Shout out to the Badab Wars, peace to Alan Bligh.
The Angels Resplendent are also part of The Dark Coil series of books by Peter Fehervari (my personal favourite Black Library author). His novel The Reverie has them as main characters, and is primarily set on their home planet of Malpertius, pre them turning into the Angels Repentant.
The colour scheme however is different, being a darker shade of blue in those books. with the left pauldron fully artistically personalized by each Marine.
Highly recommend picking up this book!
The dark krakens sound really neat. If you were doing a take on them have you considered looking into a glow in the dark paint or ink for the bioluminenscence?
I've already found a bunch of fluorescent paints which are black light reactive... perfect for my plans 😎
@roguehobbies oh my goodness I can't wait....and im not even a space marine enthusiast.
I wonder if there's a chapter out there devoted to candy...
I loved this Sudgie. While people like Bricky and Luetin (both personal favourites) delve deeply into the 'main' lore, it is you that has brought my attention to the lesser, even more unknown, details that I have somehow missed since starting in '87. And to add to that fact, I still have my original Rogue Trader rulebook and look back fondly at that drawing of a Rainbow Warrior getting shot by a Sister, and it's only just this moment it dawned on me that it was an early Sister Of Battle. Unbelievable. Thank you.
I''m not even a Warhammer fan, but I still enjoyed this because of your enthusiasm for the subject. I'll listen to you expound on Space Marines any time because you're just that into it and present the subject in a fun and non-pedantic manner!
I am actually working on my Lamenters Army so this was fun to listen too!
Was lovely seeing yourself again at Warhammer World my Daughter and Two Nieces loved painting with you last year they were sad to hear you had left but loved it when they saw you again during the event they always love going to the events and doing the painting lol just gotta get them playing. As for this video nicely done btw would love to here more lore on the Dark Kraken, the paint scheme also the lore and there home world looks really interesting to me, especially as I am a Piscean. Keep up the great work many thanks Jase.
Always a pleasure to see you guys :D
Love your videos and want want want more stuff like this. I really appreciate your storytelling in this, where you’re not just reciting things like a history lesson but you’re weaving a tale of what happened. Gave me round the campfire vibes and I loved it. And please do the Dark Krakens, they sound so cool!!!!
I second this!
Id LOVE more of these kind of videos! loved this so much!
Yay! Thank you!!!
Do a part 2! While not the most exciting color scheme (having undergone a couple revisions, including their heraldry), the Relictors have an interesting story. In fact the Eye of Terror campaign had featured them in a couple WD articles which introduced 'the mini codex', where a chapter was given special equipment to select, scenarios and even created allies for them! Based on the retcons of the Eye of Terror campaign, their fate is is a 'grey' area.
I also like the Dark Kraken I painted a kill team as kraken ! Please make a video and convert some models I would like to see how you paint them!!
😳Angels Resplendent (though art-loving and sophisticated) were very creepy and warp-tainted way before the reformation to Angels Penitent. At least, that was my impression after reading Peter Fehervari dark coil books. Anyway, thank you for the video, Louise, you're amazing:)
We can never have enough quality lore-tubers...please do continue making these videos...they're great conversation starters with my fellow mini-nerds and any excuse to see more of your artwork is greatly appreciated.
Louise, love your videos, this one was awesome....perhaps in a part 2 of this type of video you can discuss "The Legion of the Damned". One of my favorites. Collected many of the figures , going back to Sgt Centurius which I had traveled to Toronto to obtain during the 100th store celebration ( 1996! man, im getting old). Im sorry I didnt read all the comments, in case you already mentioned the Damned.
Legion of the damned would defo be in part 2!
Hey I just had sergeant Centurius until recently! This lore really appealed to me
Awesome job! Would love to see you do more lore videos like this! Also, A Dark Kraken deep dive would be amazing.
One piece of lamenter lore I found out is that there’s a Lamenter Dreadnought in a isolated Deathwatch space station that thinks his chapter is destroyed and he’s the sole living lamenter in the universe which has driven him insane and sad to which he swore to kill every alien he sees.
Sounds like lore from the 40k Deathwatch RPG.
@@dekai7992 nah, it's from the novel Deathwatch by Steve Parker.
@@jacklang3314 Ah, thanks!
I like that loyalists can eat the brains of other creatures to gain all their knowledge. Total good guy moves
"Dark Krakens hunt the biggest or most numerous monsters"...just imagining the guy running around with a butterfly net tracking down piles of krill.
There are definitely enough crazy chapters for a part 2 on this!
"For those we cherish, we die in glory!" A Vox in the Void has done some amazing fan made Lamenters videos. Man I just love Salamanders and Lamenters.
Good video, can't get enough of WH40K, and the more channels the better! Subscribed!
Great video Louise, love your lore dives and I’m looking forward to the painting half, I think you’ve nailed a unique corner of UA-cam by combining both
I'm actually surprised the Carcharodons Astra didn't make the cut but you did pick some interesting examples for sure. The Dark Krakens certainly share that horror from the depths vibe, though I'm not sure if they are as barbaric as the Space Sharks. I'd love to see that Dark Krakens deep dive.
Great video, interesting, dark chapter's 👍. Was hoping the Soul Drinkers would be on the list, maybe next time? 😉🤞.
Painting focused videos are always awesome, but I also love learning about aspects of the setting I don't know through lore videos. You're passionate and knowledgeable about both so I welcome both kinds of content! Plus one for the Dark Kraken deep dive by the way.
I can't state enough how nice it is to see so many of the old artworks in your video, for example the index astartes stuff and those glorious four chaos space marines from like 3rd edition codex? Appreciate it!
For anyone interested, the Deathwatch book Shadowbreaker has a great scene between an Exorcist and a Death Spectre Librarian.
Maybe you can do lore/painting series! So a lore video like this going into some cool background and then a follow-up video when you paint up a miniature from said background!
I've already made two of those! One for rainbow warriors and then for Squats! This video was supposed to be that but there was just tooo much lore and painting to have it be just one vid
@@roguehobbies Cool, i'll make sure to check them out then :)
Just found your channel by way of this video. 100% would love a Dark Kraken deep dive, as salamanders are by far my favorite first founding chapter. Also would love to see the difference between a new deep dive and your Rainbow Warriors video with the very pleasing advancement in your video format.
Love it! Would love more videos in this style. You have a great voice for this style of narration!
Yep looking forward to seeing your take on the Dark Krakens
Waiting for the premiere. Pretty sure it's an Angels Resplendant/Penitent video.
👀maybe...
@@roguehobbiesOh, a fellow traveler of the Coil I see.
I know about all of this chapters but I still loved to hear about them all. Other strange loyal boys i can name:Fire Hawks,Flesh Eaters,Knights of Blood,Subjugators,Excoriators,Executioners,Red Talons
Cannot wait for painting guide about all chapters in video
Louise,
Check out the Soul Drinkers if you want another chapter for "OOPS, all Loyalist Shenanigans!"
I have an entire firstborn army of them from back in the late 2000s. Also making a Primaris faction of them, as they have been brought back in novels.
I feel like the Absolvers from Wrath & Glory might make a good addition to the list. The RPG books speculate that they might be Ultramarine successors, given their obsession with upholding sworn oaths. I suspect they might actually be Dark Angels, though, because they have an entire mystery cult with secret rites. So secret, in fact, that they refuse to initiate their primaris brethren into those mysteries.
Fun video and I agree with others that I would like to see a deep dive into the Dark Krakens as I like hearing about Primaris chapters. I do also have a soft spot regarding the Mortificators because they show that you can have a successor chapter that is very unlike their parent chapter culturally speaking.
Amazing video. I love the way you do lore. It's so easy to understand and really gets your brain exploring new oaintingand kitbashing possibilities. I'd love to see even more videos on it!
Ah yes the undieing martyr, definitely not a chaos guy
Exorcists always make me think of the "John Stalvern kill by demons" meme.
cannibal cursed ought to be a band name if it already isn't
As someone who spent his weekend painting up a squad of Dark Krakens Infernus Marines...I definitely love the idea of a Dark Krakens lore video! Captain Luceior even inspired the paint on my first Primaris Captain. Love to see that you're also a fan!
Cheers Sugs, I enjoyed that, would love to see more lore content from you. Especially impressed with the haunting sound track in the background, and well done - you only said 'little' 3 times in the vid! 😄 Loved it, especially the Dark Krakens (who to my shame didn't know about before!) 🦑
"Hey, it's the Executioners, the emperor's angels have arriv-is he wearing a skinned face?"
**Mick Gordon's Doom soundtrack steadily getting louder**
First off I fully agree about the children’s books! Just because those books exist doesn’t mean we don’t still get the disturbing, shockingly horrifying “adult” content that we have always known and loved!
Exceptionally dark loyalist chapters are my bread and butter for favorite 40K lore. I wrote a short story about the Carcharodons attacking a remote Imperium outpost gone rogue, and I did my best to make it feel like Jason Vorhees hunting these mortal planetary defenders, because I imagine that’s what it would feel like!
Also this video’s subject is why I collect Deathwatch, I get to tell little chapter specific stories about all the various chapter recruits in my single army, and the many ways they interact, collaborate and clash! From my excommunicated Mortefactors Chaplaon-turned-blackshield Judiciar Ugrun Tash, to my by-the-book Ultramarines Watchmaster Proxo Diomedes, who personally served in the Tyrannic Wars, the Deathwatch are a bottomless source of diverse chapter storytelling and conversion opportunities!
Your energy in your videos is refreshing and amazing! You deserve your climbing success 100% and I hope to see more videos from you! :) Good luck to you on your road to 500k Subs! :D
Great video so cool to hear about some of the lesser known chapters and especially from the angle of 'the more disturbing'! :D
omg the teeny exorcist my sweet malignant boys 😂
Commenting to appease Algorithmnesiah
Really well done. I always like hearing about obscure facts about the various factions and groups in the 40K universe. Thank you Sister Lore Keeper. May the Emperor watch over you and yours. Great video.
Definitely more like this, loved it ty! I think my biggest wish for what's next would honestly be a video on everything you did for Necromunda like the absurdly incredible Van Saar STC art which to this day is still one of the greatest 40k things I've ever seen 👍
Awesome video, this highlights exactly what's so engaging about the 40k setting. I do still feel that there's a movement towards the imperium and space marines being depicted as good guys which I'm not that into, but stuff like this reminds us all how rich the lore is. Thanks
I hadn't heard of any of these chapters before watching, awesome vid!
Glad you enjoyed!
Love and appreciate all your videos, looking forward to the paint vid to accompany the lore talk too.
Thanks for another pleasant and well made vid Louise! Your upbeat and competant delivery of the lore cements your place on youtube as a creator :)
Thank you for shouting out the krakens!!! My absolute favorite chapter and now army!
I listen to 40k videos while doing cardio! I know, so Dark!!! 😂
One of the best new channels I've come across. Keep up the good work!
Also, I enjoy the darkness and horror of 40k being relatively a new fan. Making my first army of White Scars!!!!
Absolutely loved this content, really fun and easy to follow and interesting to see a different perspective as well. Definitely love to see more. Thank you very much for such great videos.
Killer video! Also, the sweet giddy giggle at the end was priceless.
Subbed for the Lamenters shout out. I'm hoping The Lord of Ruin, Malakim Phoros actually survived as the 40k story moves forward :D
I would love to see a Phobos Librarian with the cloak in bioluminescent colours as the Dark Kraken character!
Thank you for that video...never played or read about 40K, more of a WFRP fan, but that was fascinating and your enthusiasm is infectious!
I enjoy and admire your ability to dig deep and find extremely obscure lore. Please keep doing it 😊
And definitely yes to the Dark Krakens video
Honestly I love these kind of videos. It makes it more fun to paint them when you have back stories. Do a deep dive of them all!!! But definitely do the dark krakens. They sound awesome.
Loved the whole vid. Enjoyed the entire script learning something new always makes me look for more. I appreciate being able to see how you enjoy this hobby everything you share is memorable! I am always eyeing up my paints when I finish one of your vids, thank you.
Excellent video! Really sharp analysis of 40k. Bring on the painting tips!
Always nice to see some love for lesser known chapters. Would definitely love to see a Dark Kraken lore video
I like the talkie talkie format. I’m also curious about the Dark Kraken Chapter.
I love videos like this, and i enjoy watching you be excited about everyone of them. Please make more?
So, im relatively new to actually playing and painting warhammer. Ive been wanting to try space marines (orky boy here), but tbh i dont really like any chapters (love grey knights but im saving that for when im actually a decent player) but now im excited to paint some Dark Krakens!
I want to make them everyone's new favourite chapter (except rainbow warriors obviously)
@@roguehobbies you're succeeding!!! Can't wait to see the tutorials! 🎉👏🏾🤘🏾
I'm endorsing the Dark Krakens video movement too! I knew of their heritage before but much of the rest is new to me, and with the eerie tone of this video, I wondered if that librarian or his counterparts could do something like bloodbending!
The first video I watched from this channel. I enjoy the topic, the hostess (unsure if the channel has multiple hosts), and the terribly painted figures on the title card for each faction.
Awesome vid, only recently found your channel and I like the upbeat chirpy way you speak. Makes a nice change from other channels.
Wow - what a presentation. I love it. I am a Salamander chapter novice and would love nothing more than seeing the more on the Dark Kraken chapter. Thank you for your hobby efforts experience and knowledge. You are truly amazing. I haven’t commented before now but felt your delivery was too good to pass up. What a truly amazing gift you have been given - a true fan here! Take care and fingers are crossed for more Dark Kraken lore. Please do continue no matter what hurdles come your way. You are such an asset to this community. Regards Stu
Definatley needs to be a part two. I thought this would be about all the suspected chapters with traitor gene seed. With would involve pretty much the whole dark founding?
Anyway great job! Always love your content!
The best thing about the Lamenters is you can run them in comedy games as easily as you can in serious games :p In the Deathwatch game I played in, I was a Lamenter who ended up with "...I'm ok." as my catchphrase after falling off walls, tripping over my own feet, standing on 5 mines at one and getting launched face first into a trench and throwing what I thought was a Krak grenade but was in fact a poorly labelled Vortex grenade... I was the most sensible character in this game
LOVED this video, and I absolutely want to know more about the Dark Krakens. You had me at bioluminescent power armour adornments.
yes yes more lore videos please! :) deep dives even. doesn't matter what chapter, I love to learn about them all
I really liked this video of you talking about lore. I would definitely watch more of these videos!
I'm always down for a new lore teller! I like your voice and style and I hope you do more in the future, this was a fun and educational watch.
Love videos about successor chapters and this one was great.part 2,yes please and thank you !
Exorcists were the whole reason I started collecting and painting. I think at that point the rumor was that they were the only Grey Knight successor chapter, so I decked a lot of my guys out with halberds and the grey knight pauldrons. Imperial fists are cool lineage too, but I'll always love my semi Grey bois. Also love the horror vibes. 40k horror sneaks up on a person so good.
Great video! Yes please, more Dark Kraken! Salamanders have been one of my armies since 3rd edition. I saw the art for their chapter but had no idea they sounded SO cool! It would be great to see your take on how to hobby them and learn more 😀
