      It is not enough. We stand in the dust at the end of centuries of useless sin and endless failure. The Legion was poisoned and we sacrificed an entire world to cleanse it. We failed. We are the sons of the only primarch to hate his own legion. There, again, we failed. We swore vengeance on the Imperium, yet we run from every battle where we don't possess overwhelming force over a crippled enemy. We fail, again and again and again. Have you ever fought a battle you'd struggle to win, with no hope of running away? Have any of us? Have you ever, since the Siege of Terra itself, drawn a weapon with the knowledge you might die? I will not see my life whored away without meaning. Do you hear me? Do you understand me, prince of cowards? I want vengeance against a galaxy that hates us. I want Imperial worlds to cower when we draw near. I want the weeping of this Empire's souls to reach all the way to Holy Terra, and the sound of suffering will choke the corpse-god on his throne of gold. I will cast a shadow across this world. I will burn every man, woman and child so the smoke from the funeral pyres eclipses the sun. With the dust that remains, I will take the Echo of Damnation into the sacred skies above Terra, and rain the ashes of twenty million mortals down onto the Emperor's palace. Then they will remember us. Then they will remember the Legion they once feared."~Talos Valcoran

As if Seth would be un-able to do the deed himself. Seth isn't stupid, he knew his chances for beating Astaroth was slim at best but still showed up and put in a good shift. Gotta respect him for that.

      I was literally upset finishing the Night Lords trilogy. I’ve never gotten so invested in characters and story, especially not in 40k anyway. The way Aaron writes feels like watching a movie to me as well haha. I don’t really get that from other writers. It’s like he ends a chapter suddenly and then the next chapter gets straight to business. Only way I can describe it is like a scene cut to a new scene in a movie.
      I would really hope he continued on the story but he has said himself he is a slow writer. Plus with the pace 40k lore moves at and is refreshed I can see it being an issue that Black Library pushes him in other directions for the larger scale “plan” if there is one haha.

    More criminally underrated characters (to me at least):
    Urien Rakarth- the Drukhari who may or may not be the first of the Haemonculi, the one who actually taught Fabius Bile some of his stuff, and possibly one of the oldest and most horrifically evil entities in the galaxy. He has died and come back to life so many times now that even it is boring to him.
    Pedro Kantor- one of the few Space Marines defined not by triumph, but by defeat, and by how he and his chapter survived despite the odds and rose to become better after their defeat
    The Deathleaper- a Tyranid that literally toys with its victims, driving them to paranoia and terror before finally finishing them off
    Aun'shi-- an Ethereal who actually got into melee with Orks and won; one of the few Ethereals whom even the Farsight Enclaves have any respect for
    Nork Deddog- the most loyal Ogryn in the Imperium, who once headbutted an Ork Warboss to death
    Also, in memory of awesome characters who are no longer with us: Duke Sliscus, Kheradruakh, Lady Malys, Lukas Bastonne, Mogul Kamir, Captain Al'Rahem

      My personal favorite underrated character in 40k is Ortan Cassius, the Ultramarine senior chaplain and master of sanctity who has a famous Deathwatch kill team because he's not your typical goody two shoes by the book Ultramarine. He reminds me of a 40k version of Cato the Elder; a Roman senator during the Punic Wars who was famous in his speeches ending with Carthago Delenda Est (Carthage must be destroyed in Latin), but instead of Carthaginians he hates with a fiery passion it's Tyranids lol

    Eldar are a pretty dope faction and they're definitely criminally underrated and the true underdog of the setting. Eldar constantly get worfed almost as bad as their avatar of the God of war. Imagine every time a baneblade showed up in a book it gets immediately destroyed by a named character even tho it's ment to be one of your most powerful units. As far as being the underdog of the setting well they can't afford to throw bodies at the problem like the guard does, they don't have super durable armor and they have to punch above thier weight class constantly while minimizing casualties against forces like space marines, nids and guard. And to make things even worse in order for new eldar babies to be born rangers need to make an expidition to a DAEMON INFESTED crone world to find even a handful of spirit stones for the next generation.

    I just want to say I’m loving your videos! I just recently (like in the past 2 months) started getting into 40k after watching Astartes, and I’ve become really interested in the lore. With how much lore there is, I had no idea where to start. Just as in another comment I’ve seen, the other 40k UA-camrs had videos that were very detailed and were long drawn out (not that it’s bad thing, just not for me). I really love your enthusiasm and how to cover the topic in a good summary that makes it easy for my monke brain to understand!

    I'm so happy you included Barabus Dantioch. (don't know if that's spelled correctly, I listened to the audiobook) Little extra Barabus lore for those who don't know him. During his work on the Pharos device, his closest companion was an Imperial Fist. There were hundreds of individuals working on the Pharos, but it was Barabus himself that learned how the Pharos worked and how to operate it; with emotion. An Iron Warrior, learned to use his emotions as a tool to operate the Pharos. He prevented traitor forces from learning how the Pharos worked. And during all of this, Barabus was in a heightened state of torturous agony due to his previous trials and injuries that he wouldn't get tended. He took this pain willingly as penance for his traitor legion, without telling a soul. Barabus is about the only thing from the Iron Warriors that I like and I put him right next to Rylanor in terms of legendary heroes. Did not expect you to mention him here. Big thanks.

    Not only cause they're better written (Like legitimately a Black Crusade was Abaddon literally letting a DAEMON DRIVE HIS FLEET INTO ORKS FOR SOME REASON???) compared to Huron.
    Plus despite Abaddon's rules on Tabletop, his legion is kinda shit, his army wide bonus is shit, his relics are garbage, and his melee can either be a mix of "Okay" to "Horrible" cause his main weapon is just some underwhelming weapon USED BY FUCKING HORUS OF ALL PEOPLE or a daemon sword that doesn't do shit.

The real kick in the nuts is after Dantioch dies, in the epilogue it is revealed that by overloading the Pharos device it results in sending out a pulse so far that is detected by the Great Devourer(the 'nids!), who start their 10k year journey towards the Imperium. The dying pulse of the Pharos device is the whole reason that they even learn of our existence.

    Id love to listen to a story about Huron Blackheart and Abbadon fighting some Tau together as a joint force, but both end up trying to kill each other because they cant stand each other's methods. Like, Huron hates Abbadon's wastefullness when it comes to the talents of his allies, but Abby hates Huron for his willfullness to waste time planning when the objective is all that matters and show how each is right and wrong.
    Fuck it, i might even try to write it.

    • @NCRVeteranRanger
      @NCRVeteranRanger 2 роки тому

      The Tau aren’t nearly enough of a threat to Chaos as other factions are. It’d be better to have Abbadon & Huron try to team up & conquer an Imperial system on the outskirts or frontier of Imperial territory. That way, it would justify having Abaddon & Huron team up to conquer such a region.

    • @philparis796
      @philparis796 2 роки тому

      Maybe the Tau have something thats important to both characters, like maybe they are studying a chaos artifact thats been moved to a Sept world where an important etherial is visiting. They both agree to work together out of a form of mutual respect at first, but as the war rages on, it becomes apparent that they straight up cant work together as their methods are too different, culminating in a duel over the artifact which only ends because the Tau called for reenforcments from multiple worlds as they think the marines are after the etherial.
