    Night Lords are interesting because they kind of really suck at the actual job of being a space marine. Like, the way they operate, why even bother making most of them supersoldiers?

    • @Mikazuchireborn
      @Mikazuchireborn 3 місяці тому +54

      Definitely a combination of Night Lord battle doctrine, Gendor Skraivok deliberately recruiting kids who have no business becoming Space Marines, and Konrad inability/unwillingness to fix things.
      If Night Lords were fighting the kind of battles the others legions were doing at the time (massive wars against mighty empires), I feel a lot of those inferior Marines would have been filtered out. You don't need to be superhuman in order to brutalize a bunch of terrified human civvies, but it definitely helps.

    I like the Night Lords for the same reason I like Frank Horrigan. In an era where a lot of popular IPs are obsessed with trying to make sympathetic villains, it's cathartic to see unrepentant war criminals instead.
    Also, like you said, they don't fight like space marines and, funny enough, despite being the most brutal chapter, they probably killed the least. Instead of warring with entire planets, they scare planets into compliance.
    In other words, them being evil doesn't unskin your wife and kids.

    2. They are just fucked up in so many ways, particularly in being the 'masters of fear' yet are probably the biggest cowards of all space marines. Possibly of any faction even (like the Drukari).
    Basically I love them for being baby bitch edge lords. Theyre a great Grimdark faction for such heinous crimes but have real character in sadness and wanted honour.

    I can say...because they are oddly one of the most human space marine legions. We can thank the trilogy really. It does give us a legion where we have a tragic nature to it. As we can look on Konrad, who just needed a hug.
    The other legions needed daemons and gods to turn them evil, Night Lords just are. They were practically raised to be so. Yet, they are self-aware of it. They do not lie to themselves of their nature. And again, because of the trilogy, we can see that they are more than this. Be it Talos, Uzas, or even the warsage...there is simply humanity still within them that can be seen through the flayed skin and general horror, they are just large children that want to be loved by their mentally ill father.

    Edit: The Night Lords Chaos Lord in the Morvenn Vahl book is named Kol Rakul, The Death of Saints. His name in Nostroman likely means Cold and Cruel. It is also worth noting that titles among The Night Lords are either self-imposed, or ironic, so either Kol gave himself the title as he has some history with The Argent Shroud, or he has ran from every battle against The Sororitas lol.

    Like just think, if you took a child that was forced through barbaric trials by combat that kill 99% of grown men and gave them literal superhuman abilities and conditioning to where they basically only fully understand combat you're likely not gonna get the philosophical Blood Angels, reasonable Ultramarines, or caring Salamanders, you're probably gonna end up with the opportunistic, violence-driven, and power-obsessed Night Lords.

    The night lords interest me as they feel like an opposite, where they blood angels are optimistic the night lords are pessimistic.
    How Konrad and Sanguinis viewed their foresight shows is most succinctly.
    Their contrast is far more interesting to me compared to say the world eaters / angron and the blood angels / Sanguinis.

    I always had the idea of a Nightlord Warband going on killing sprees on Imperial Worlds as the idea of mercy kills. They slaughter the people because they know the dream the Emperor had is dead and the people are the reason for it. They wish not the people to live in Imperium as the dream is dead.

    Answer before watching:
    1. Primarch was right about everything, and has an end to his story.
    2. God-tier writing on the omnibus, you can't dislike the Night Lords after reading it.
    3. By far most humane and ethical Legion (during crusade)
    4. Insanely high non chaos/non corrupted (aside from raptors) possibly reunited warband/legion under Decimus if it ever came to fruition.

    While I don’t like Night Lords in the slightest and my immediate thought to see Night Lords is "ew Night Lords," I have a friend who absolutely loves them for the reasons that they suck.
    He loves that they're a bunch cowardly assholes who would rather run away from a fight with the Imperial Guard to go butcher that orphanage over there. The fact that they are so anathema to what it means to be a Space Marine is what makes them interesting. And I can get that. Won't change my opinion of them but I understand.

  • @PhlegmFiddleford

    I like them because they were the only legion to both have their primarch hate them and have that feeling be mutual. They were never shown any love, respect, decency, or honor and now they are incapable of showing those things.
    Nightlords do the shit that chaos likes while also hating chaos. They have no real plans on making things better, they want these huge ideas to come to pass, they are both violent and depraved, but never on behalf of someone else. Nightlords exists purely for nightlords and and really don't care what people say about how underhanded and evil they are.
    They know exactly what they are and don't bother to lie to themselves about it, and characters like that are decently uncommon in the universe where every single faction has some sob story to justify using lobotomized slave cyborgs as a punch clock

    When Savitar was being pressured by his friends to take revenge for the Nighthaunter's wounding, he asked politely if they would change their minds and run away instead of dying pointlessly.
    They politely disagreed, and so he spaced them. On the spot, with no warning. The one guy who noticed and got away in time, Savitar let live because that's behavior he personally finds intelligent and should be rewarded.
    Ngl I fell a little bit in love with the Nightlords on the spot. They're just the worst but it's very entertaining

    Night Lords fans aren't weird or counter culture. Night Lords have a cool asthetic, their popular well written novel series depicts them as tragic anti heros, being horric scum of the galaxy in a hyperbole grimdark setting makes them pretty average on the "shocking brutality" scale. You aren't super edgelord outliers for thinking a popular legion with common cool tropes is cool.
    That's just my 2 cents anyways, you guys do you.

  • @blackhawk4ful
    @blackhawk4ful 3 місяці тому +1

    to me they are so different compared to the other legions. All of them are an archetype of military specialization and culture like the ultramarines are the martial space romans, the death guard are space zombies, iron warriors are greek siege masters, dark angels medieval monstrer hunters/secret society etc. The night lords by comparassion are so... normal, they are no forge masters, they are not artists, they are not warriors, yes they are the scum of nostramo and terra but when you put them next to the offspring of europeran nobility of the emperor's children or the free spirit riders of the white scars they kind of look like an average joe. Plus they are some of the most distinctive legion of all when comes to aestethics.
    And then you have THE two great night lords: Talos and Sevatar. Talos lives through the worst era of the legion and still holds to its ideals, he tries to keep his company, his family together for the same the reasons he keeps fighting the empirium, he doesn't have anything else. They don't have a homeworld, they don't have a primarch, they barely have people, and yet they are significantly loyal to each other more than any other traitor legion. Because tghey only have each other. Who wouldn't empathise with someone trying to hold to what is dear for them?
    And Sevatar shows us a beginining of the end for the legion, when you see his way through the crusade and the heresy you see how he realised slowly what they are doing is wrong, not the skinning people alive part, but doing it for the fun of it, leting be guided by a father that doesn't care for them and is going nuts. He sees the hipocresy of Curze when he insisted there was no other way to apeace nostramo, yet he calls bullshit on it, that dialogue between the two really feels like a son finally been mature and brave enough to call on his father's defects and confronting it. The final step on Sev's arch is when a child shows him kindness and humannity and when she is crippled he enacts swift nostraman justice upon the responsible, even though the kid was his enemy.
    They are a deeply flawed legion with deeply flawed characters, and those are the best ones. Ave Dominus Nox.

So it’s fun to see them flail around like big boys only to run into a Mack truck going straight towards them at 80 mph then as they are in the ground still twitching and groaning in pain they try to act like the big dog again.

For Dorn's sake, the imperium has werewolf and vampire space marines, people who cut their own arms off to replace them with machines, guys who've convinced themselves that WWI tactics make sense in a futuristic combat environment and that dying in droves is the highlight of what they can achieve, and so much more.
