Please make Imperial Knight h*ntai
Don’t the Admech have them?
Looking forward to your Micheal bay version of imperial knights.
Can you do a video about terminators

@Tristen Hahano Let your mind wonder, combine, nerd, grim dark, and a healthy dose of perversion.

Dont forget he also healed a knee joint of a knight while in his trip to Mars lol
Right Sir, never ceases to amuse.
@@McBride88 hell yeah! Majorkill is a blessing in an internet troll disguise.
Imperator class titan be like "Awww, look at his little legs and arms, so cute!"
Taking fire from that little heretical titan!! Fucking adorable like a puppy... *KILL IT!*
I AM A DEATH MACHINE OF THE EMPEROR!
WOOK AT HIS WITTWE CHAINSWORD AND DEAF CANNON! I WANT ALL OF THEM!
I read inpregnator class
More like „pathetic“
@@chevysuarez7306 Warlord Titan is under infantry attack! Why am I shouting this!?
Here’s a fun fact about knights, before the Horus heresy most legions did not want knights as they much preferred the titan legions. However, after many titans were destroyed or corrupted during the heresy the value of a knight went way up as even though they are rare there are still way more than titans
I would take any Mech TBH. Give me District 9 level exoskeleton, Tau Crisis suit, and of course Knights. Just give me power armor even.
How fast are they compared to a Warhound? In lore Warhounds can literally ambush and use cover which i find hilarious. Like you don't see that 40 meter tall mech right behind that corner? "Oh it is just rubble and definitely not two guns with a face? That isn't a leg sticking out? Gotcha... Do you hear that? The rubble sounds like it is snickering because we are walking past it... Oh it is just the wind and not a machine giggling.
However in media they are always depicted at walking speed. Titans just due to their size should have huge strides and be walking 40kph at least. Warhoumds full sprint should be pushing 120kph or something.
Knights though I don't know? They move like 1950 robots too in the very few videos I've seen.
@@dianapennepacker6854 i like to imagine the speeds are similar to that of mechs in Battletech and Mechwarrior as those mechs operate in a similar fashion as titans do in 40k
@@wangchung2157 What speeds do they actually move? It has been a while since I played the game but it is always hard to tell due to perception and scale of the camera.
Anyway yeah I always likened them to World of Tanks. That is the closest to anything I've played recently that would be similar. Love how knowledge is more important than twitch and the ballistics and weak points are. Wish more games were like that - especially a good space game that is similar to World of Ships but 3d and more strategic or tactical when it comes to placing shots or using armor. Don't even have to try to be realistic or follow real life specs - just make the ballistics and armor hard/weak points fun!
are knights still built?
yes@@marcovizzari2126

"Only Warhammer could turn Mechas into some kind of honorable feudal knights who have a surprisingly deep culture and history" Dude, wait till you learn about the whole goddamn Battletech universe...
I feel like he will get a flood of comments like these from Battletech fans.
(The original comment I was replying to has since vanished, but the history lesson still stands.) FASA launched BattleTech, first known as BattleDroids, back in 1984, from the sources I can find Games workshop launched Epic in 1988 after Rouge Trader's 1987 release. There would have been a lot of sharing and influencing of ideas back then and I can't say for certain when their respective lores developed to a point they began to mimic each other, either way it's fine both co-exist without the need for legal action between the two.
@asdrubale bisanzio You don't need to spam every damn comment with something that is pure speculation anyway. LoL
Just don't bring up comstar

"Only Warhammer can turn Mecha into honorable Knights, with deep lore and cultures"
Battletech: Am I a Joke To You?
I mean it’s more the Battlemechs Pilots that give it culture...
Or do they? I don’t know, I‘m not that deep into Battletech lore
@asdrubale bisanzio battletech was created around 1984 while 40k is 87
Then it becomes a discussion of who did it better?
@@hunterxkiller8732 That becomes a matter of perspective and opinion, however while one could argue that the Battlemechs and Mechwarriors of BattleTech are the main draw to the setting, one would be hard pressed to say the same about Knights of even Titans and 40K. BattleTech has gone to quite the length to explain why something as impractical as Battlemechs are at the forefront of military technology and organisation. In contrast with how massive and diverse 40K's setting is, Knights seem like just another weapon in the armoury for the various eternal wars.
Yes
I discovered 40k thanks to these bois, saw them in some weird mobile game and just fell in love with the 40k aesthetic
Let me guess, Warhammer 40k Freeblade?
@@danielm.595 yep
@@RANDOMstuffanimation it’s a good game it just sucks that you keep having to wait between missions to forge weapons, fixing your knight etc.
I once saw an add that literaly said: Download today and BECOME THE WARHAMMER 40K!
Ah freeblade. A better game if you get a hacked apk.
Knight "you can't kill me"
Me "nope but they can"
*Sob army with 40 meltas*
Having a knight with a pair of hands, a gatling on their back, and twin small plasma guns near the head. Sounds fun.
With rockets pods dont forget rockets pods and get the flamer, the heavy flamer.
@@greyknightjusticar8412
I'll stick with what I got but if you want to have a Salamander Knight then you can do that.
Remember that too much guns will overwhelm the production
Just 2 guns are worth it, and a special fun
@@huskpl3yz358
It's only 3 fire arms for the Knight.
Crazy how much the lore for knights have changed. Originally, they were invented by the Eldar, copied by humans, and used to herd giant dinosaurs.
To be honest they don't really look like something eldars would design
Wtf
I'm glad that's not cannon anymore.
How long ago was this lore?
@@TheLordNoodles White Dwarf 126 from 1990
"Do I look like someone who knows what I'm talking abo-"
Yes.
In the words of Dorn: No.
The successor state mechwarriors: "We're knights too!"
It's almost like GW took the idea for Knights from somewhere... hmmmmm...
Watch out pal that's batchall talk.
@@JordonVirtue Sorry, I couldn't hear you over the sound of the Comguard wrecking you clanners at Tukayyid because you had no idea how to properly conduct a war. :D
@@ASNS117Zero you are really sad
@@derpyboi8591 You uh... you don't really know anything about Battletech lore, do you?
Horus fall to the Heresy was far worse than him being biologically bald. Its been confirmed in numerous novels that Horus was shaving his head on purpose. Only shortly before the fall he had grow short hair and stubble, in desperate attempt to stay loyal, only to immedialty embrace his inner baldness, and fall to chaos and declare Gihad on Emperor.
Imperial Knights added Bonus: They are big and easy to paint for older people of the hobby :P
I would watch a "10 min of gun and explosion noices with Majorkill" video, but only in asmr form
Nah I want to see him playing with space marine mini's and pretending to blow stuff up while making the noises.
That's my mini!! Thanks for featuring him man I really appreciate it! Keep up the awesome content, knights deffo are favourite of mine :)
Congrats man!
Thanks @majorkill Thanks a lot. I would never have bought a $200 oversized dreadnought. After this video, idk.
"... energy whips... Which seems pretty fun"
Rad Cleansers, which if you use definitely constitutes a war crime...
Majorkill, have you thought of creating a video on the Dark Age of Technology?
Yes
He has
@@simoncasady-kahler1528 Yes, I've seen it.
Knights are like the guardsman of the titan faction.
Seriously, you are one of the most accessible entries to this hobby, I've gotten so many friends into warhammer through you. Its pretty awesome!
0:15 Me in the corner raising my eyebrow, being a battletech fan.
Lol I thought the same thing. They might have even done it first.
@@GrievousKhan Would not be surprised if GW took the idea and ran with it
@@GrievousKhan Oh they definitely did it first. Battletech came out before 40k was even a *thing* by at least 2 or 3 years. If I'm getting my dates right, Knights weren't really a thing in 40k until around the time that the Mechwarrior games started coming out.
@Shadow Warrior 101 Let me guess, the Mechwarrior games? I can see where you'd get the impression that Mechs are just mobile artillery platforms if the Mechwarrior titles were your only experience with the IP. There's actually a lot more to it than that in the lore, but the 3d games rarely if ever even touch on it. The Battletech top down strategy game that was published by Paradox a couple years back does a much better job of portraying it properly compared to any of the Mechwarrior titles (even the good ones from the 90s), but even then it leaves out a lot, like the fact that infantry soldiers in power armor are a thing, just as an example.
Clan weebs....
Tyranid carnifex approaching, category 1.
Prepare Gipsy Paladin for deployment.
(Insert pacific rim main theme)
@@hamiltonaraujoleite4049 oh yes, love the movie, the first one that is. The second was utter shit.
And the main theme slaps hard
"Gipsy Paladin" i know is a reference to Pacific Rim but it hurts me seeing those 2 words together.
@@Keksde there was a second movie??
@@ulrickguiliman4810 Officially yes, but unofficially the second doesnt exist
I wonder if any of these knights have joined the quest for the holy grail.
Imagine a 3 headed chaos Knight called "The Knight Who Says Ni"
and then we have the black knight, also the holy hand grenade is now call the holy exterminatus
LOL Paint a white rabbit on the titan and watch your enemies run in fear ;p
@@mr.mammuthusafricanavus8299 well just look at all the bones!!!
@@mr.mammuthusafricanavus8299 too op
Imperial Knights are to Humanity, as the Hero's Mantle (what they call Battlesuits) is to the Tau Empire and Farsight Enclaves.
except that the Imperial Knights come in six different chassis, and unlike the Tau empire, they do melee.
*lots* and *lots* of melee.
"Only warhammer could turn mechas into some kind of honourable feudal-like knights"
Battletech would like a word.
Well this definitely confirms your an Australian.....uploading in the middle of the night
Aussies rule!
@@danielwells1734 Australia doesn't exist
"I don't fucking know, do I look like someone who knows what I'm talking about?"
XD
Ending cracked me up hard, keep up the great work Majorkill
I personally don’t really have a personal preference to a Knight house, maybe Griffith because they kill dragons or Taranis because that name is fun to say, but you’d only find me getting one Knight.
Yay- Knights
Played my first game with Knights today. It felt like playing my favorite Nidzilla lists, but with bigger guns.
I had a blast😉
“AI will take us over and turn into Skynet”
Knight machine spirit: “Where is the horse and the rider?”
Æthelbald hath thou paid thine tithe to thy Lord Protector Knight?! Mine coffers seem much emptier than they art commonly at this time of the season! *Proceeds to blast the entire village, killing every single harvesting peasant in the process.*
This might be called much un-knightly justice haha. *Jerks off in robot.*
I can't say that they don't, but I really kinda wish that one of the Knight Houses had been on Caliban, where the other "space knights" were found, and the Dark Angels called home. Maybe a Legion Homeworld doesn't also need to be a Knight World, and I don't know if/ how they would've survived after the planet died, but an impressive force of Dark Angels, escorted by a similar paint scheme Imperial Knight would be truly awesome!
Otherwise, a neat addition to the game, and a decent option for those willing to pay more than most, bit still nor the criminal costs of an actual FW Titan.
Love you're channel!!! Gonna make my own some day hopefully!!
DAoT people be like :
"Oi, we need to cut some trees fer oua settlement. *GET ME MAH ROBO* "
Dude my new found love of warhammer and the way you describe it has made your channel my favourite on UA-cam
i was pondering about magic, difference from fantasy and 40k.
Thanks major been waiting for you to make one of these from you
I was laughing my ass off with this vid. Well done, sir. Kudos.
With the knight houses, there's also House Konor, I don't know much about them apart from the fact they served on Parmenio alongside Legio Oberon, with about 15 knights, during the Plague Wars.
Been waiting for this video. Great job mate
YEAH IMAGINE LIKING THE KNIGHTS *Hides knight models and current knights in cart*
"Only warhammer could take turn mechas into some kinda fuedal-like knights who have a surprisingly deep culture and history."
Battletech: "Am I some kinda joke to you"
Lmao the dude sitting on the chair to the lower left of your photo! 10:03 😂
thanks for the lore MajorKill, I missed videos like these
Majorkill: only warhammer can turn mecha to feudal like knight
me and other person of cultured: knight's & magic
You’re the best. You could do lore on literally anything and I listen to it.
🤔
Ah yes, Spacemarine Transmitted Chaos.
I still remember playing Warhammer 40,000 Freeblade on my phone 5 years before I knew what Warhammer actually was
I mean if there's something gives you a free pass for being a self-absorbed prick, it's a 10 metre tall mech that kills unworthy pilots.
In the grim darkness of the far future, there's no kill like ULTRAkill.
im always impressed with how you can actually crack jokes that make me nose exhale
I guess beating Arch proved to be easier then expected.
Ayyyy Thanks for fulfilling this request majorkill!
9:57 Somewhat tempted to kitbash that into my Emperors Children themed knight.
"Hey, don't do that"
*looks at critic angrily*
"You make a good point mister knight"
My friends: Why you want Imperial knight?
Me: Big fucking mecha, you're argument is invalid
majorkill you madlad, you finally did it
The chaos Knight Rampager/Desecrator was the first model I ever bought for WH40K. The last game I played it (Only 500 points, since there was a handful of us - 2 ork players, a necrons player, a Cadians player, and me), I stacked a shitwhack of melee and speed buffs on the sucker and watched it turn tanks inside out with extreme prejudice. Somehow, I managed to stack up -7 AP on the reaper chain sword. Fuck that thing was terrifying in melee.
Oh, yeah, and g'day from New Zealand!
Its basically Brettonia in space and I love it
been waiting for this for so long!
The problem now with the 40k universe is that both Knights and Titans are a dying unit because the technology to build them is lost and every unit that falls in combat or to chaos, is a unit that can't be replace. That's why the loss of the Imperial titan at Armageddon was such a hard blow.
Knight technology is actually perfectly preserved and unlike titans they can be built safely so no XD
*9:48** - TIMMY's EARS DESTROYED !!!*
Just realised I can’t find a video by you on the age of strife. Does such a treasure exist? Loved this video 👌
Imperium: This is the emperor army
Chaos god: OUR army *proceed to convert half of them into chaos forces*
Gw: "Soooo how do we add bretonnia into 40k"
Employee who's getting promoted: "Mecha knights"
One of those hour long ambiance videos but just Majorkill making explosion noises
If you look up the battle of beta Garmon. There's were over thirty chaos night houses alone, that planet must have been shredded.
I actually really wanted this vid so thanks
You are really hillarious buddy, I love listening to you stuff, and what you say is not just funny but also accurate (not like Onemindesyndicate), so keep up the good work!
Me: oh wow majorkill made a video on knights because he likes knights.
Majorkill: I like knights.
Knights.
There’s a mobile game where you play as a Freeblade quite neat. Warhammer Freeblade you fight chaos and orks
The fact you referred to the great crusade without using the phrase "galaxy waiting for cheeks to be clapped"
"PARRY THOS YOU FILTHY CASUAL!"
*Procedes to make said casual disappear from this plane of existence*
That part about the Mechanicus accidentally awakening Necron Tomb-worlds made me lose it lmao
Knight: hit once by a single hormagaunt
Hormagaunt: gets atomized
Knight: haha I'm victorious
The Adeptus Mechanicus were like "DIBS!" Lost my shit 😂
"...definitely constitutes a war crime..". 40K in a nut shell
2:59 Getting mad Iron Harvest vibes from that description lol
8:09 there is actually a great warhammer game on iOS or android where you play as one of these
Thank you Mr president!
Damn i just thought about would be dope if you would make a knight vid than i got the notification
Hey majorkill heard u mentioning a bunch of weapons that the knight's uses, curious to see if you'll make a video for all or some cool weapons in 40k
Thanks for the awesome videos as usual!!!
The imperial knights and the tecnoknights would have been a great combo
We truly need more videos about Titans!
This is what we've been waiting for
House raven is most likely the biggest cause that yellow and black stripe against the red of mars is a cool colour scheme and therefore sells well
