The real reason the Watchers never show their face is because their skin care routine is trash

Bro, you released a Warhammer video about rip off Jesus Jawa’s that jack-off knights at 11:30pm.
This is just to perfect.
Happy Holidays Majorkill
chaos champions!!! Do one on them
You really are one of the nicest meet people, you have my respect. Your one of my favorite youtubers. Keep you the great work!
I have problem with cancer skin,how effective is it against melanoma?
I recently discovered a new favorite trope: Little guys who are secretly eldritch horrors.
-The Watchers In The Dark.
-The knight from Hollow knight.
-Kirby.
Kirby isn't an eldritch horror, he is THE Eldritch Horror that gives Eldritch Horrors nightmares
@@NekoSoren Sometimes I do forget he is objectively the strongest character in all of video games.
@@THExRISER Ah, yeah, being one hit KO is top-tier strat...
@@rantymcrant-pants9536 Well, lore wise at least.
Even traditionally strong characters like the Doom Slayer will die quickly if you don't know what you're doing while controlling him.
@@rantymcrant-pants9536 Considering gods, reality-warpers, and eldritch horrors have all fought and lost to Kirby over something as simple as his cake going missing…yes…it is top-tier….
"All evil can be fought"
-A Watcher responding to Zahariel asking if chaos can be resisted. For some reason that line always stuck with me.
Go further "All evil *must* be fought"
What book would that be from?
@@vincentmalasawmkimajongte7489 "Descent of Angels" if I remember correctly
The watchers in the dark are just the seven dwarfs waiting for cipher to come Kiss the princess/ the lion
This is actually Canon, FYI
fr
Never made that connection before 😂
@@petercaballero4880 I mean have you seen Tom Brady
@@dukedevlan5457 ...dude wtf?!
I loved these little guys when I learned of their existence. They add quite the flavor to the Dark Angels.
@@Banthisyoutube That's a great idea you had there! B)
Same
I like to think the Watchers are/were a early creation of the Old Ones. As like sentient pets or servants.
Then the survivors fled to Caliban after the War in Heaven
I like! Servants from the Golden era of gods are ultrapowered in the weak current setting.
Maybe they were an abandoned experiment from when the Old Ones were creating races to fight necrons. Eldar and orcs got picked, watchers were benched.
@@keremmu makes sense considering their small size and likely weak physical nature. They're hugely psychic but if that were overwhelmed they'd have nothing to fall back on, meanwhile the orks are weakly psychic but massively physically strong. While the eldar are just in between: Fairly strong psykers able to put up a decent physical fight.
I was thinking: What if they're the actual surviving Old Ones?
Calling it now, the watchers are psychic skinks
i love the idea of some little robed fella waddling after a dark angel with a sword in his hands that is twice the size he is
I'd like to imagine a named character being on a dark angel ship for some mission or something, and a watcher just walks in and walks out and all the astarties are like "you feeling OK? Little space man? You should lay down"
“W-was that a Xeno?!?”
“Brother! What do you mean? There is no xeno???”
“But what was that-“
“There. Is. No. Xeno.”
*An Interrogator Chaplain slowly emerges from the shadow*
the watchers are so obscure they could be the old ones and it would never be known
imagine if it gets revealed that they are the Old Ones who managed to evolve into something new and then one of them pokes the Golden Throne and the Emperor gets to wake up from his ten thousand year long nap.
@@Ecthelion842 theres honestly nothing saying no, as far as i can remember
Something to note about the watchers: apparently they can only exist within a certain radius of Caliban itself, that's why they don't leave the Rock, and that's why when they accompany someone on a mission, said someone usually have a relic of Caliban on them.
Then carrying weapons and armor now makes much more sense.
so the armor that they carry might not even belong to a marine that they're accompanying
Watchers in the Dark are the perfect companions for the Dark Angels. They're small so they don't get in the way, they're quiet so they won't say anything you don't want said(like with the fallen), and they're absolutely adorable to look at with their big robes and handling weapons twice their size.
I wonder what would happen if a harlequin ran into a watcher? Would the harlequin realize it just encountered a problem or would they try to have a laugh?
They would try to have a laugh as that is how they respond to absolutely everything
@@Major_Kill18 scram
The harlequin would understand the absurdity of the situation and explain why their goals align - through interpretive dance.
They would laugh the watcher would stare and the laughing god would never feel the presence of his worshipper again.
@@ericcook8254 I don’t think so, they share a common enemy with the same amount of burning passion
Funny how in HHL they’re classed as a ‘’Chaos’ Infantry’ units so I’m wondering why they’re assisting the duplicitous legion and not the Loyalist Alpha legion
I mean the game takes liberties on alignment as is, seeing as defence satellites and the like are apparently chaos exclusive XD
I guess it also fights the best due to their psyker abilities, and not belonging to the imperial army or mechanicus
Suppose they could be defenders of caliban or da but gotta share
Because even the Alpha Legion doesn't know if they are loyalist or not. Their motives are so convoluted that it makes Tzeentch blush on the daily.
@@eemelisaurila9940 and Defenders of Caliban are scummy enough as a faction Duplicitous is crazy strong against dualists and tactic lacking decks
Honestly I do believe he's a loyalist, pretending to be on there side. There's just such a strange conversation between malk and him while he was personally training to him to use his powers. And I'm sure you know that malk the Chad never did anything for no reason. And remember kids the imperium was his idea, not Big Es.
Are u saying that they're all ALPHARIUS?!
Considering the emperor is super close with The Lion and let's him in on knowledge he doesn't share with many others, it's easy to assume the emperor has met one of the watchers in the dark. Point being, what did that meeting look like?
That's a good question.
@@starhammer5247 right lol. I'm sure its probably not stated anywhere in lore but here's hoping 🤣🤷♂️
The Watcher would waddle along doing its thing while the Emperor would probably sense how powerful it is and not fuck with it. The Watchers are pretty chill and fighting even one would probably be dangerous for the Emperor so he would consider them cautiously as allies of the Imperium.
@@bryanmcloud4121 inquisition is on the way to check you for heresy. Emperor is one who can kick Ktan's asses and mess with chaos god's. His psychic abilities is far beyond apocalyptic. We are talking about God of Humankind here. There is no way he will be scared by xenos. My bet is that a squad of Grey Knights or like one single Custodes would be able to purge their entire race.
@@user-ut4vl8bw2k fan boying hard enough?
Custodes are peak physical combatants, but have nearly no defence against warp attacks (hence the partnership with the sister of silence), not to mention they would likely be aware, or find out quickly that nothing they do harms them.
The grey knights while very good fighters and very good psykers, would know intrinsically not to attack the watchers. The changeling didn't want to fuck with 1 of them.
As cool as a officially returned DA Legion would be: I don't see the Lion forgiving Luthor when/if they meet. Luthors last memory (if I recall correctly) is the furious and ragefuelled face of his adopted son, so... yeah, doesn't seem like El'Jonson was in the mood to give any more foregiveness beyond a sword through Luthors neck.
in the book luther luther doesnt believe he will be forgiven merely stating only the lion may pass judgement, i think luther is expecting to die when he meets the lion again, to him either way he has made amends
If Vulkan found out he would pet and hug them
Vulkan would absoloutely have a baby carrier thing on his chest that has a watcher in it for easy access for hugs
"Where it stopped. A shudder - a rare sensation - ran down the Changeling’s borrowed spine, the shadow of an instinctive reaction born from its time wearing mortal flesh. Skin prickled and the servos in the illusion of its power armour whirred as its fists clenched. Around it, for the first time since it had set events in motion, Fate buckled
There was something at the far end of the cell corridor. The Changeling could not so much see it as sense the absence of the aether around it. To the daemon’s warp-sight, the thing was really an un-thing, a black void without tangible thoughts or emotions to define it.
The daemon tried to look upon the un-thing with Azrael’s flesh-eyes. It was diminutive in size, its form hidden beneath the thick folds of a bone-coloured cloak, as though in imitation of the Lion’s sons. The shadows beneath its deep cowl were utterly impenetrable, as dark to mortal eyes as its soul-presence was to the Changeling’s warp vision.
It did not move. It did not have to. The Changeling found itself taking a step back, the daemon’s flesh quivering. Fear was something the Changeling could not feel, only feed upon, but the sight of the un-thing watching him from the shadows caused the daemon an indefinable, icy discomfort.
The Changeling could not stay here. It could go no further. This part of the wider plan was unnecessary anyway, a mere addendum to the ritual that would carry the daemonic trickster away, and drag the Lions with it. The Changeling doubled back the way it had come, the cells untouched. Fate’s weave morphed, the future a newborn, fresh entity."
God I love this so much. Thank you!
God it's like poetry. The first time fear itself felt... afraid.
Tzeench: One shudders to imagine what anathema thoughts lie within that cowl...what dreams of chronic and sustained cruelty.
Slaanesh: No I...I ain't talking about those freaks, alright? They're not here, are they? I GOTTA GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE!!!
Khorne: I fear no man, aliens, or Gods. But those...THINGS...they scare me.
Watchers appeared to Zahariel before he killed the Calabanite lion. He went searching in their neck of the woods and they essentially said “no trespassing, your quarry is that way”.
Vulkan upon meeting the Watchers in the Dark: “I would like to pet and hug this creature.”
Lion who know what the watchers are and what they are capable of: *genuine fear mixed with brotherly concern* “Do not that, Vulkan.”
Watchers in the dark
Certified short kings👑
The Watchers in the Dark are the Seven Dwarfs and Lion El'Jonson is Space Snow White.
So...
We're just waiting for the a space prince to come and sexually assault him, ummmm, I mean kiss him without knowledge or consent whilst sleeping so that he wakes up to go ram a sword through Luther's head and ride then him around like a motorbike...
The only one that gets hurt is Azrael's when he kicks it after he gets frustrated at it for talking.
Also obligatory asking Majorkill for a Mini of the late Old Man.

@@AJPDing OUR ASSUMPTIONS ARE CONFIRMED
@@WeaponisedAutism WHOT?
@@AJPDing HE HAS A SUSPICIOUS BOOK!
Mysteries are the spice of a setting !
I’ve got this fancy that they’re waiting for the right moment to « recreate » a Caliban protected by reunified D.A. To replace Cadia as fortress against the eye of terror.
Ditto! Mysteries keep things interesting and exciting but, considering all the unknown things in the lore that GW has revealed in the last few years or so, I worry that questions like; what are the Watchers? Who were the 2 Astartes legions erased from history and why? What happened to the lost Primarchs, and all the other questions that keep the fans wondering and debating amongst themselves, will all in turn be revealed. Ending forever every theory voiced of such things and the imaginative reveries some of us would then walk in that world.
They got Star Wars. They got Star Trek. They even got Tolkien..... I won't be holding my breath for their 'reimagining' of 40k to ensure that, "it better reflects the world we live in today ".
@@Pangolin-Mandolin GW isn't likely to do that. They may have some retarded business decisions in the past regarding their IP but they know for damn fucking sure that their readers and players are here for the universe as it is. Making alterations so that it's more "safe" will just alienate the player base, resulting in a net loss, and they know this. GW is retarded, but they aren't fucking brain dead.
Sometimes you need to answer the mysteries, it won't break the universe, and after god knows how long, people deserve an explanation for some things, especially the missing Primarchs.
@@starhammer5247 Yeah, I get where you're coming from. Because, you're right, GW (although always keeping 3rd party access to their I.P. severely limited and restrictive) have made some questionable decisions about how to use their I.P.s and since the big shake up, a decade or so ago, they've been much better about when, where and how they do things (including licences). And, taking into account how super anal they've always been around that stuff, upon hearing about Henry Cavill and Amazon doing a 40k series, there is good reason to be optimistic. But, (and I hate to use this) look what has come before. The Tolkien estate was usually pretty strict on what could be done and not....now we have, "Women are always the best at everything ever, men are always stupid, aggressive or duplicitous and white man bad!". They did that to Tolkien! And at the same time proclaim (without a hint of irony or sarcasm) about how proud they are with what they created. Star Trek hurt. The, 'Rings of Power' actually made me angry. Henry Cavill has always come across as a class act and I just hope that he can put actions behind his words. But regarding, the lost legions....no!!!! Keep it a mystery where contradictory hints of their origins surface from time to time....😉
@@Pangolin-Mandolin Amazon also released Invincible and The Boys, those shows seem to be doing well. GW have already hinted that the Eleventh Primarch is held in the Dark Cells underneath the Emperor's Palace. They've released scraps of information on how the Eleventh was apparently one of the most loved of their brothers and how the Second was prideful for a Primarch. They're slowly unveiling the information for some sort of massive pay-off. There are some secrets that need to remain secret, such as the Watchers, but other secrets need to be revealed at some point. Also, as you said, GW is extremely anal about their IP. If some dumbass tries to fuck with Warhammer lore to push an agenda, like making Space Marines girls or gay, they will pull that fucking plug faster than Perturabo left the traitors when Horus fucked him over.
@@starhammer5247 Dude! Yeah, I forgot (the Boys, etc.) I guess there maybe is a bit of light at the end of the tunnel.... I get where you're coming from with the 2 legions. It definitely seems that GW is readying the stage for a, "McDonald's rerelease of it's Shesuan (?) sauce" type of reveal. Something people have been thinking about for a decade+ with uncertainty, suddenly being answered. Like you, half of me really wants to know wtf happened but, once they answer that, one of the biggest mysteries in 40k no longer exists... as much as I want to know, just as much of me doesn't at the same time.
But, yeah, not all I.P.s adapted for the screen have been destroyed, so there is room for cautious optimism. But, with that said,.....The Rings of Power is going to act as a deterrent for a long time. They did that shit with intent.
The watchers in my head cannon are the eyes and ears of the old ones. The remaining old ones being too cautious about being active in the galaxy so they act through proxies with the watchers being there because perhaps the old ones see something significant in the Lion's future and they want the watchers to ensure he can reach whatever destiny awaits him.
This is my favorite interpretation of Watchers lore.
Not only did you predict The Lion would be the next returning primarch, you guessed his mission to unite The Fallen, too.
Only Xenos Humanity can work with, they actually saved Dark Angels and the Lion El Johnson.
No they aren't....there's a ton of Xenos that humanity can work with.
Bro the humans pay ork mercenaries on the regular lol
@@gholamdapantaloonsniffer8218 With Watchers in the Dark being the only ones that never had conflict or waged war with Humanity. Only assisting Humans for as far as we know in lore.
@@2SSSR2 Jokaero Weaponsmiths
@@2SSSR2 There is also the tree people, beastmen, There are also unnamed Xenos species that work quite closely with the Imperium and have been for...forever.
Often times sanctioned xenos get picked up by Inquisitors, ya know, the ones that are not an insane minority that think being vegan is an abhuman chaos thing.
Hell, the Imperium practically adores Kroot, and frequently hires Orks for salvage jobs and as auxiliary defense.
In the grim darkness of the far future...the grimness is not that everyone is a xenophobe it is that no matter what they do the already fucked up and are no better than technobarbarians scrounging at ruins of their greater glories...yes even chaos. Anyone remember Daemon Empires, no? Good. Neither do the daemons. Cause they too died.
3:48 slight correction, the Watchers actually appeared to Zahariel before he killed the Calibanite Lion. They semi-told him where he could find it as he was venturing deeper into the Northwilds where he would surely have either died or been corrupted.
*Team of Eldar the infiltrated the Rock*
Farseerer: “Where’s the eldritch creature you warned about, behind the little green hooded guy”

Solitaire: “I’m warning you!”
Farseer: “Yeah right, Maugen, Lelith, go kill it.”
*Maugen Ra and Lelith Hesperax approach the watcher in the dark*

ha! nice reference
Changling: im gonna cause pure insanaty on the rock
*turns a corner*
Changling: yes my lates vic....
Watcher: hi there
Changling: OH shit
Watcher: you best run boy
Just imagine a rpg set on Caliban where you play as a knight right before the space marines arrive and you basically get to experience imperial colonization and space marine recruitment first hand as your end goal is to join the Marines and fight for glory
This premise alone would be good enough for a genre-bending combination of an action-packed period drama, an epic knight's tale, and a sci-fi / fantasy space opera
I like to imagine a watcher in a dark just putting a very large Astarte grade coffee mug on a astartes desk .
Fucking steps leading up to the desk then receiving head scratches.
Day twenty three of asking majorkill to compare Abbadon and Archaeon
Abbadon?
This deserves to be asked for 23 years instead
Archaon won, Abbadon failed 12 times 🤷♂️
One has a horse the other has a claw.
Failbaddon
Inquisitor seeing a Watcher: "Is that a...?"
Dark Angel: "A pygmy, yes"
Always a good day when a new MajorKill drops, makes working this 5-3 almost worth it. Cheers mate
Vulkan: I want to pet them.
Corax: Aren't they Xenos?
Vulkan: If they are Xenos, why are they friend-shaped?
The dudes brushing the Lion's hair while he's asleep.
Majorkill: they are a Eldrich Horror and super OP
My sister: I would give them Headpats
So The Watchers are pretty much just stray cats that hang around occasionally catches a rat or two in the house but mostly hang around for the food.
There are fallen who are 100% chaos, fallen who are loyal to no one and fallen who are still loyal to the emperor.
I love that scene where the changeling comes face to face with one and Is absolutely terrified of it.
please tell me were i can find that info i need to know
@@azariel6669 Here:
ua-cam.com/video/DFYUwxibd3c/v-deo.html
The confrontation with the Watcher in the Dark and the Changeling happens at 51:02 in the vid I posted above.
For context, the Changeling shapeshifted into Azrael and earlier manipulated the Dark Angels into gathering a crusade fleet to attack the Space Wolves.
I think video about Ragnar Blackmane could be really cool, his character is pretty interesting and Space Wolves don't have many videos in the channel
Plus he's one of the very few Space Marines who have engaged in barfights.
Here from the future where the Lion returns. Good to finally know what those little guys on the Lion's Miniature are, I thought they were human the first time I saw them.
the watchers could be blank demons it sounds impossible but nothing is impossible in warhammer
@@EarthenGames Sort of. C'tan come from a separate dimension that is more unknown than the warp. The C'tan did sort of use the warp as a play ground till things got wild.
Watchers in the dark = Terry Pratchetts "auditors of reality"
They're almost word for word the same.
What do you think about them being possibly the remnants of the old ones?
"OF. ALL. THE. WATCHERS. ON. THE. ROCK. WHY. DO. I. GET. ONE. THAT. TALKS!"
40k Jawas have been sneeking around the Rock stealing parts to keep the Lion's massaging water bed running for the last 10k years.
You’ve got no idea how much I’ve been wanting this video. I haven’t known what these little dudes are called but they’re in all of these Dark Angel models. I’ve literally been searching for WEEKS
Read a damn book they get tons of mentions.
@@MrGrim2u1987 bro I do read the books, but I don’t know what books to read. After this I do now. It doesn’t help that I still had no idea what these guys were even called
Do you think to do a video about the perpetuals ?
That would be dope
I imagine a new dark angel realizing he's being followed around by a Watcher and when he asks the others in a panic what's happening they just say "oh yeah, he's just vibing let him go about whatever he's doing"
I have been waiting for a video on the watchers in the dark by Majorkill
Happy little xeno boys doing their best
In fairness even if the inquisitors found out about the watchers, they couldn't actually kill them and would have to kill the dark angels to get at them
I like to think "Watchers in the Dark" are a creation of the Old Ones. The fat frogs needed servants so why not create them? And after The war in Heaven ended,they could've just wandered The Galaxy,found Caliban and the rest is history.
And they cannot leave caliban as roombas can't leave charging stations to long?
Yes! Been waiting on this one
Watchers: Sup
Demons: RRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Thank you for a new video before work
I always thought these adorable little things were ancient ancient xenos who were made in the ghoul stars and decided to escape it and serve dark angels instead, why them exactly, no idea
everything is horrifying in the ghoul stars
I assume you mean the halo stars?
The watchers remind me of the little green cloak wearing thing from final fantasy with his little knife and lantern. At first I was like "Aww it's so cute" until it waddled over and 1 shot my party member
Tonberries! Yeah
Hey Majorkill. Would you please make some lore videos on the Imperial Truth, the Imperial Creed, The Ecclesiarchy, and the High Lords of Terra? Thank you.
That being said...
A good bit of the Fallen have teamed upmwith Chaos....
Like a lot.
My Settron mini just arrived! Looks awesome, first non Deathwing mini! Gonna get it set up, painted and entered in your contest.
I love that my grimdark sci fi knights are followed by 80s dark fantasy puppets from the Jim Henson company
I always thought that the watchers in the dark are beings from a realm other than the warp.
If a Dark Angel tells you there wasn't a tiny magic man in a hood, you don't even know what any of those things are
Honestly I love the Dark Angels for many reasons as they are my favorite Legion/Chapter but the Watchers in the Dark are one of my absolute favorite parts of them.
They are one of the most, if not the most unique aspect of any Chapter. No other has anything quite as strange, mysterious and absolutely random as the Watchers in the Dark.
They are a fascinating and unique thing for the Dark Angels that nothing else has anything close to.
Watching this after the lion returned.
could the watchers be the old ones in disguise ?
powerful omnipotent beings with foresight sounds a bit like them
"Perhaps they are all those things.
Or Perhaps, they're none of them."
Is that you, Alpharius?
I want a friend like Watcher too 😔
I can now point at Majorkill and say "Hey, I have that shirt, only it's burgundy.'
Will you make a video about the age of dusk?
Ay, we made it to 420k subscribers... we fuckin did it lads. We hit the goal!
Watcher in the dark, that was nickname in high school
Dark angels are my main, so they hold a special place XD
Been wondering about those Bois for a long time, cover them more mate 👌
I just adore the little cloak person aesthetic, jawas, watchers, keepers, anything that's just a little cloaky dude is my absolute favorite, if they have little glowing eyes from under there hoods it's just perfect
Changeling: Pity me...
Watcher: FEAR ME. Tell this to your gods; when they punish you, when they stretch you out on the neutron rack: We are still here.
My headcanon is that the Watchers represent the DA players, choosing their favourite angel to be their table top captain
The watchers are actually the old ones and we just never realized they were that small
In our TTRPG our Dark Angel had one called Reggie
Every dark angel is a potential king Arthur and each gets their own little Merlin as a status symbol. It just needs to be.
As always love the content! Paint competition entry otw.😈
"The cool stuff they've done."
Well, they've kept Mr. Nappies safe for 10k years
How about “Games Workshops’s Legal History EXPLAINED By An Australian” and go over all of Games Workshops’s lawsuits? That’d be a fun video!
Video title is my new favorite thing to call them.
Looking forward to the next release being a Primaris Lieutenant, followed by Majorkill CBT.
Hey MajorKill were the Dark Angels and the Space Wolves working together to catch the changeling on the Rock in the story you mentioned in the middle of the video?
Godlike entities that remove anything from existence with a thought... hmmm
"How much plot armour should we give to the imperium of man"
"Yes"
The watchers are the perfect opportunity to tie in the War in Heaven to the current setting and lore of 40k.
Having the watchers be servants of the old ones or, *EVEN BE OLD ONES THEMSELVES* would be such a good reveal, imagine the Dark Angels being the faction that holds the most Ancient race in all of existence.
Imagine an Elder arguing with a Dark Angel and the Dark Angel just says "Your creators carry our helmets around"
Back in the days GW did a Doctor Who and Judge Dredd range they actually made subtle hints that they all exist in one setting. The Arbites are (ideological... mostly) descendants of the Adjudicator order (first established on screen in DW: Colony in Space/ Frontier in Space but later expanded in the VNAs) who in turn are descendants of the Judges of Judge Dredd. Even though the original gang of metal heads, weirdoes and anarchists behind writing large chunks of all 3 settings (pre RTD bullshit) aren't working for GW anymore a lot of the writers that are are their mentees and aprentices. Thus weird stuff like Ragnar finding a giant decapitated Dredd statue under the Navigator spire, implied appearances of the Gods of Ragnarok, the Ordo Chronos and their odd shaped drop pods and of course the Watchers (who are very reminiscent of the Time Lords in their first appearance in The War Games) keep popping up.
Does the watchers have something to do with the disappearance of Timmy?
After a League of Legends minion scores a late-game pentakill, they transcend into a Watcher in the Dark...not even that ork-planting Teemo would dare troll them after.
I love the Watchers. I always bring them in my army. Some call it a waste of 5 points.
I call it a secret agenda!
(Secretly I think they're cute and I like having them follow around their big chunky terminator buddies)
They arent a waste....they're lil support buddies
They are Goofy cute little guys
"OUT! OF! ALL! THE! WATCHERS! IN THE ROCK! WHY DO I GET ONE THAT TALKS!!!"
Where’s the Dark Angels game where we have a Watcher in the Dark little helper. Maybe with Dark souls kinda combat, fighting huge daemons.
These guys are the reason Dark Angels are my marine army. Love those little guys.
Watchers are just Rangdan that bowed to the Lion when he defeated their empire.
Tell them to wake the damn Lion.
Chaos now has three daemon primarchs and we loyalists only have one.
There are people saying daddy Dorn is about to come back. Maybe even earlier than Lion
