Cheers to MANSCAPED for sponsoring today's video!
The Genestealers are wildly effective at infiltrating human worlds, but what about the other races? What happens when they try infect them?

To be honest, the lawnmower probably can't protect your from a Genestealer infection - but it can make you the most well groomed and bangable Genestealer that ever lived : manscaped.com/majorkill

2.1K in 14 minutes?? majorkill has fallen off…
I'd imagine that if a Sister of Battle was infected and didn't fall, she would probably be made a repentia.
Hello Majorkill,
Would you kindly make some lore videos on the Imperial Truth, the Imperial Creed, the Ecclesiarchy? Pretty please? Thank you.
I feel bad for Majorkill now. Dumb Custodes drama pops up and half the comments try to bait people into arguing about that instead of commenting on the actual video or asking for new topics.
@@Vityaz-of-Rus This joke was never funny
Orks easily find out if there are Genestealers among themselves.
'Cuz dey ain't acting Orky enuff!
Exactly. Orks only have time for fighting and winning.
Turns out the stealer infestation makes people less aggressive so that they become less noticeable. Guess what gets you killed as an orc?^^
😊❤00p0p00lll
💩
No, cuz they wuz taken ova by da bug eyes!
they also smell weird.
The funniest thing is why the orcs detect the genestealers: genestealers tend to be more passive as that would usually make them harder to detect. Ironically they weren't aggressive enough for orc society
If they wanted to be harder to detect, they should’ve painted themselves purple!
Or camo, I forget which one is stealthy.
@@steveishere8808They already are purple 😂
@@maltheri9833
Oh, right 🤣 I forgot the classic purple Genestealer skin.
You know the memes of Genestealer humans thinking the Emperor is purple with four arms? Maybe the Orks hear genestealers say that Gork and Mork are purple with four arms and beat the shit out of them for that.
So the infection would not spread when the ork dies?
Guys you don't wanna find out about the 34 rules of Gene stealers, I searched "Gene stealers rule 34" and it surprised me
Good try we ain't joining your cult
Ian Watson - Inquisitor, great read
This seems like trap heretic
@@El_Dissident "Who knows Ian? Maybe this is my next movie?"
@@highlordlaughterofcanada8685 *Lord Adorable revs up Storm's Teeth with fatherly intent.*
I like to convince myself humanity is comically stupid in Warhammer 40k, at least when it comes to Genestealer cults.
"Is it just me or is Bill from accounting, purple?"
"We're xenophobic, not racist, now shut up and eat your reprocessed gruel."
Lore is pretty specific, that unless you are born into a privileged class, or test for high aptitude at a young age, the majority of humans are not receiving an education past how to do their preselected manufactorum job/imperial guard training, and how to properly praise and thank the God Emperor.
@@mrrodriguezHLPGod I wish that were me
Its probably because certain generations of gene stealers look almost human. And in the imperium mutants are tolerated on many worlds due to economic necessity.
Why your options are Steve with crab hands and 11 eyes, or Jannette with slightly purple skin. Most imperial servants will choose the slightly purple skin.
@@badaoe3stratsonly130 I love the Imperium's stance on mutants is kill on site, but it's pretty much lip service. The conditions of life in hive cities is what's creating the mutants to begin with.
Lol they probably are
Orks beating the new Genestealers was probably a lot because they were bored or they just wanted to fight the four armed Ork.
There are actually a several AdMech-based GSC cults...the most notable being The Bladed Cog, which took over the worker thralls of a planet and spread up into the Skitarii and low-level enginseers. That Cult's Day of Ascension was even coordinated by a Skitarii Alpha who became their Cult Nexos/Strategist. This allowed them to override many of the ruling Magi's defensesive systems and cause entire Skitarri cohorts to just stand down or be reduced to chaos by conflicting Doctrina uploads.
The cult now spans the stars and has even assisted other AdMech-adjacent cults like The nomadic Rusted Claw, who they built a plastic "pope mobile" for, so their ferrophagic magus could be transported around without instantly dusting their ride with a mere touch. The Bladed Cog have also been notable for having Servitors...and infecting a servitor can have interesting results, like them regaining "sapience" as the genes and new connection to the hivemind, undoes some of the lobotomy that turns them into servitors in the first place. More technological forms of infection, like viral scrapcode that can be transmitted en masse to Skitarii, Servitor, and Cybernetica forces through Canticles and Doctrina uploads and result in IFF-systems switching to favour the Cult, have also been noted.
The AdMech Biologis in the Twisted Helix are another major note: Partly because they and the planetary nobles and alchemists they worked with, infected themselves on purpose via gene-editing...whoops. There are probably several of the cult's numerous Biophagi that were also members of Biologis covens prior to infection. Since they produce medicine and chems for several planets and guard regiments, which they have now tainted with genecode taken from "The Prime Specimen", this has resulted in the cult's reach expanding way beyond their relatively small initial numbers...also notable that it's a cult that spread from the Top-down, not the Bottom-Uo, as the first infected were nobles, magi, and imperial chirugeons.
There was a... not so much cult as an AdMech infectee in one of the Ciaphas Cain novels.
sounds super cool which books are they in
@@jaysmom1998 I don't think they've shown up in the novels yet, outside possibly a mention or two...but the cults I mentioned were all laid out in the GSC Codex back in 8th at least.
They had actual rules too. Bladed Cog got cybernetics (Heavy Weapon movement and invul saves), Rusted Claw are all about them vehicles and bikers, and Twisted Helix had gene-enhancements and mutations.
GSC codex is a great read
the traitor who was infected was during the word bearer omnibus. he could feel it trying to taint him and begged for his sworn brother to kill him while he was still pure as a servant of chaos.
"From this day forwards God Emperor decrees that all humans must have hair. Any bold humans have to undergo genetic screening. Refusal is ground for immediate termination". There...problem solved.
That would be Hair-sy... Wait, if Vulkan comes back, he needs to grow some hair then.
@@brettwood1351I’m pretty sure body hair counts too
*numerous Primarchs screeching in the background*
Stop. Making. Sense. Making sense is heresy!
"Orks don't f___."
No, but they shed spores. Let that idea sink in and then tell me that isn't a terrifying concept.
How many ork genestealers do you want? Yes
Asexual reproduction is basically f___ing yourself. When two infecteds f___ you get a 1st gen Acolyte Hybrid. But when two 1st gens f___ you probably get another Acolyte, leaving a Genestealer Ork Cult a genetic dead end. So no Neophytes, no Purestrains, no Patriarch and so broodmind to direct the raging murderous generically enhanced multi limbed purple, and therefore INVISIBLE, mutant ork horde.
Consider the idea sunk in.
It's a good thing Tyranids aren't "smart". They should be farming Orks for infinite biomass.
@@protoroc They all ready did that. It was the Octarius war.
The trouble is that the Nids had to break out. As if they stayed in that conflict for too long. Then Ghazghull Mag Uruk Thraka could have started an mass Waaagh.
Or, the non stop conflict could lead to the re emergence of Krorks. Maybe if the Orks were the only threats that tyranids had to deal with. Then they could still win.
But getting locked in a war of attrition against a Waagh led by the prophet of gork and mork, or fighting till you evolve your enemy is a bad idea. Since a war of that nature could last for ages. Giving the imperium enough time to create an effective response.
@badaoe3stratsonly130 that's what I mean by smart, keeping the orks culled enough to not let a waaaugh grow out of control.
Necrons: "Humans are noobs when they face a Genestealer."
Orkz: "Go to da horny jail!" *Bonk*
*krump
There is a case of a bunch of dark eldar nobles having the haemonculi graft parts from genestealers onto their bodies for shits and giggles, which is absolutely as stupid as it sounds. They ended up forming close-knit social groups, calling themselves the Vorgani, and becoming obsessed with a Tyranid-infested planet that somehow got pulled into the webway. Needless to say, the other dark eldar find this hilarious.
I don't know much about w40k lore but this cracked me up for good !
Yes.. The Other Durhkari find it healerious..
But they also have ten or more deadly weapons that will take out the hive..
Or they just kick the cult out of the Raiders on a real space raid... on words with Nids..
... Made A Sister of Silence Magnus..
As For Votaan.. I'm working on it!!! this shits is costly!!!
Video Idea: What if the surviving loyalist primarchs never went missing after the Horus Heresy.
The Imperium would be significantly better to live in.
@@robertnelson9599 I always imagine a soft civil war as the remaining Primarchs will have different ideas of how to proceed. Although my idea involved the Emperor being fully dead / non-responsive.
@@TearDownGenesis I think another thing that could have happened is primarchs ruling parts of the Imperium in their own way, like there being several realms of Ultramar. A more decentralized Imperium than what already exists.
@@theo1170 That's exactly what I was thinking. Like Girlyman allows the faith out of necessitity, but others don't. Vulkan can be upset at Mechanicum for their lack of desire to innovate. Lion being Lion. etc.
"we havnt gotten League of Voltann lore about it".... have we gotten any lore about them, after their codex was released? I still dont understand why we have gotten them as a faction and then nothing is done with them lol
They know, we just don't care.
it was written in their codex that they dont sexually reproduce. They are actually cloned and genetically engineered for certain duties. So I'd imagine a genestealer cult is pretty difficult to create in their society. I'm not sure Majorkill has read the book
According to the book "Space Hulk" if a marine is infected his cells try and fight the germ seed, both replicate and fight one another until the marine collapses and dies, yellow ichor and puss running free from ruptures, lesions, and orifices as the two over replicate and tear them apart from the inside.
Humans need a special anti genestealer weapon.
Send for Ripley.
I love how the Silent King considers Tyranids to be the greatest threat to the galaxy, when the Necron race is almost entirely unbothered by their shenanigans. Tomb Worlds have basically nothing for growing 'Nids so are frequently ignored, and necrodermis bodies are physically incapable of being corrupted by the Hive Mind. And yet, Szarekh is like "fuk dem hos" and is hell bent on thwarting the nibbly buggers. Like he's saying "That's MY galaxy, nobody else gets to play with it!"
The reason Szerakh the silent king hates Tyranids is because he believes he can reverse bio transference and place the Necron souls back in human bodies.
My lord and master lmotekh the Storm Lord considers this sacrilege and will not allow it to happen.
Hence the Necrons civil was between Szerakh and lmotekh.
I remain your obedient servant Cryptek Thyotek of the Sautekh dynasty.
Has to do with the Silent King trying to reverse the bio-transference, which he believes requires organic lifeforms such as humans. If the Tyranids eat everyone, they can't return to an organic form, or so they believe.
@@timothylyons5686Maybe don't have your real name as your username if you're going to Necron larp, Timothy.
There are some examples of orks genestealer that managed to thrive, for example, this document about the different types of dakka:
SQUISHY DAKKA
AKA: Bitey Guns, Crawly Shootas
Some of da boyz from Octarius got their mekz to loot some of da dakka from da tirry-nids. Works pretty well if you keep 'em fed. You can get sum from Ulg Lotsarms and his boyz, just smack 'im in da gob if he keeps talkin' about “Gork and Mork but wiv four arms for hittin' people” and “the patriork” and uvver rubbish.
RATING: 10/10
Dem's teefs noice n shiny, gums givum extra boshin whilst snaggin dems shoo'ahz
I was literally just thinking I need me some Majorkill, and here's a video.
5:19 There was a book called Cult of the Warmason where a sister is very much implied to be infected, but thinks it’s the Emperor. And another called Day of Ascension where Skitarii get Genestealerified then betray their masters.
Don't worry, Imperium! You may have forgotten him, but he has not forgotten you! Sly Marbo will destroy the hive fleet. Alone. As usual. You'll just get in his way.
Cult of the spiral dawn had a sister of battle grand mother, who bred the first generation of genestealer cultists and built the cult from the ground up.
Yrliet from the Rogue Trader CRPG mentioned that Aeldari can easily sense genestealer infection, as well, so they aren't a threat to Aeldari the way they are to humans.
T'au also use eugenics/breeding programs and arranged partnerships, so easier to screen for the infection pretty easily.
Video idea: which primarch did each Chaos god wanted the most? Like did Khorn wanted Angron or Sanguineous?
Tzeentch is kind of implied to be toying with Corvus while he hunts traitors in the warp
Slaanesh would probably also want Sanguineous.
Nurgle is tough because he definitely wouldn't want the Ferrus due to the fact the dude bangs more toasters than Guilliman bangs elves. Salamanders/Vulkan love fire so that's out, the Khan is addicted to speed and Papa Nurgle is all about the slow rot. Really the death guard are the only option, Dorn is too angry & loves playing with legos. Russ is even angrier & three shots of caffeine away from roiding out & serving Khorne.
The only other option is Dark Angels & while they're the type of dudes to get bitten during the zombie apocalypse and not tell the group theyre infected because 'it's a private matter' I don't think it fits with Nurgle's vibe.
There's been few different versions of the heresy, such as the Dornian or Rouboutian heresy. Casting the primarchs in different ways
Gene Stealers are in GW, and they've nearly reached pure form.
cool it with the antisemitism mate.
@@MrKuemmelbrotI think you’re paranoid, there is nothing anti-Jewish about that comment
@@MrKuemmelbrotIn what world was his comment referencing Jews 😂😂
@@MrKuemmelbrot So you read the world gene stealer and immediately thought about Semitic people. Projection much? Do you also think about the same people when you look at skaven too? Bruh.
@@MrKuemmelbrotdid you just compare Jews to space bugs?
Im glad you made this video man!
Superb video as always @majorkill.
Could you make a video dedicated to the Navigators, the major houses, their politics, relation to the overall Imperium and factions,
God Emperor save us if the Carcharodons chapter got genestealer genestuffed! Pure nightmarefuel, that!
Great video bro!
I think a video on the economy of each faction would be really cool. Like how their money system works and all of that kinda stuff.
I also like to think on some hive worlds, the genestealers do get found out and wiped. Not by the will of the planetary governor, not by the local PDF, but by a few gangers who decided that those funky looking purple guys are intruding on their house’s property.
Video idea what if the emperor of mankind wanted to be worshipped as a God and had created the esslarcy the imperial cult in order to defeat chaos gods
Make a video on strategies for fighting different chaos demons. Like how the imperium either exterminatus or gives up on nurgle worlds
I’m so glad your original hair is back 😊
6:21 the way he says "FAUK" gets me lol
also that ending WHAT
Fantastic job
@majorkill A video on each of the primarch’s favourite food would be cool. Also a video on how each of the pirmarch’s would react to being implanted with the butcher’s nails would be cool as well.
I play Genestealer Cults so thanks for the video.
On that note, the Hivemind of a Cult is called a Broodmind.
this was such a good idea, cant wait for weshammer to expand on it in a month
Can we can a video debating the hierarchy of things like “Grey Knights vs Custodes”? I’d really like to know who has more authority in certain scenarios.
Considering that the Grey Knights take straight Big E genes to their veins, yea, I have wondered the same.
Careful, we even mentioning Custodes in passing right now attracts the fans who are obsessed with identity politics trying to derail every thread.
Custodes are beyond all law and command except that of the Emperor, so I am guessing that's an easy question.
@@37rdm37 Obviously that's the carry line. But I think we are meaning more nuanced situations. Again, considering the Grey Knights ride the lightning. A custodes has to feel the Big E in there, just a little.
The Grey Knights answer to the Inquisition and the Custodians can straight up ignore both the Inquisition and the Ecclesiarchy
Trazyn just having fun with the Genestealers.
I've been asking myself about this for a while now.
Aren't most Dark Aeldar born in clone tanks? What happens if gene stealers subvert the staff at the street thug production center and start giving everybody a kiss as they're 'born'?
Dark Eldar reproduce normally with the difference that in women the child is operated on and put into some kind of growth-accelerating thing. The only ones who give birth naturally in Dark Eldar society are the nobles.
@@joekost1038 Ah they're not technically clones, but it sounds like they take all of a woman's eggs at once and stick each one in a tank. Presumably she gets paid for her trouble then runs off to spend it on weapons and die. Per the warhammer wiki: (Trueborn) are arrogant and see themselves as far better than the majority of Drukhari, who are born in amniotic gestation tubes and whom the Trueborn call the "Halfborn." Due to the constant and high death among Drukhari as a result of their vicious and amoral culture, creating new Drukhari using in vitro fertilisation is necessary to maintain Commorragh's large population.
The Durhkari have adapted some Genestealers biological adoption in in fashionable Vuge
6:21 the way he says "FAUK" gets me lol
"But kinda funny so I'll allow it" - perfectly valid reasoning, For The Lulz reimagined
As a genestealer and tyranid player, i want the avatar of khaine patriarch as a model
I was looking for this question just last week
Video idea, what was the legions relationship with the other space marine legions?
I would love Genesteeler Tau models for the table top.
Watching this Great Video while Building my Big E that got Finals derivierend 😅 Best Mini ive Seen 😮
Thats a great sweater
The reference to "I Am Ken" though. Such a GOAT.
Loving my calendar! Especially December!!!!!!!!!!!! 😂 (didn’t expect that)
I would really like to see a squad of Necron Pokemasters take to the battlefield..... they would be awesome!
If you ever have the chance Majorkill or if you even bother with that stuff anymore could you cover the homebrew cult of the Serpent? Personally the idea of Genestealers saying F*** you to the hive mind to at least temporarily go after their own goals is funny to me and I’m to lazy to look up more in lore reasons. Or maybe a video about the Unfleshed? Good video by the way!
That piece of lore about an infected eldar craft world gives me an idea for a goal for my Homebrew Inquisitor.
What happens when Jean Stealers hit France?
Your D'ark side has to go shadeless.
Do a part 2 of each legion lore
Something I've thought about is how the Blank field would interact with the Shadow in the Warp. What if two negatives make a positive? What *if*, when a blank is in the shadow, they become a psyker of power proportional to how strong their blank gene is? So sisters of silence all basically become Varro Tigurius?
When you described the first thing I thought you were talking about the space marines.
Love the Hoodie. 👍🏻
Hello Majorkill,
Would you kindly make some lore videos on the Imperial Truth, the Imperial Creed, the Ecclesiarchy? Pretty please? Thank you.
Thanks Manscaped
Tau experimenting on genestealers is pretty wayland yutani pilled ngl.
The gene stealed power station management servitor that took down the generators for the shields for a city so it could be bombarded from sapce was a cool short story.
There was the start of a genestealer infestation in one of the caphais caine books, for the emperor where some tau fire wariors get infected, much to inquisitor amberley vails satisfaction (caines girlfriend)
Such originality!
Never seen before!
>do not steal!
There was also that one time a Grey Knight got infected.
In he book dark Disciple a Word Bearer was attacked by a genestealer and infected. When discovered, he was 'purged' for now being of unclean geneseed. So chaos purge the 'unclean'...
What is that music in the background? Sounds epic.
What of the Tau and Human support races; Like the Vespid, Ogryn, Ratlings, etc?
My favorite new army. So wierd and fun
Another day another request for making a video on primarch landing on modern day earth when they where scattered by the chaos gods
Love the sweater, it makes you look very 'huggable'.
Careful , he's infected with a genestealer virus 😅
There is a book where a sister of battle initiate is trained and resists the hive mind.
title?
...you know, when you think about it, Genestealer sorta can only work on humans, huh? I like to think that other Nids sorta consider Genestealer sub-Nids because they are only good for fighting humans, lol
"no you cant my jeans dont steal them no" -some guardsmen probably
What if the Emperor becames the dark prince and becomes to humanity what Slaanesh is to the eldar?
Last time I was this early I got a majormini
I like the hoodie bro
I'm here to underscore again how deadly purestrain genestealers are!
No kidding. I always thought Genestealers were that special type of lady who tended to end up around Embassies and Military Bases. Thank you for the clarification, sir.
I ALMOST thought he'd get through this video without making the pants joke.
You forgot to mention occasional gene testings done by the Mechanicus and Space Marines to check for mutations.
@majorkill where did you get your sick hoodie?
Questions-1-dark cells explored? What exactly in there old human gods lke zeus..daemon..satan...ctan?.angels?fae..etc
Questions-2-what did yhe emperor do during the height of human empire(dark age of technology)?
I have a question about the big E model, I looked at the different head options and I think I have gotten a duplicate of the stoic looking towards the sword, has that happened to anyone else.
I thought the Leagues of Votann reproduce entirely by cloning, akin to the Sontarans from Doctor Who, only having actual variety in appearance.
Can you please list every chaos warband?
bruh the sweater got me dying
Day 3 of asking MajorKill to make a video on how the setting would be different if Angron never had his butchers nails.
Orc genestealers would still breed through their spores and thus reproduce. The only reason ork genestealers is 'rare' is because when you turn a green ork more pinkish they turn purple...
Hey major Kayle I love listening to you on the ride home can we get a little bit of longer videos Or even a special just to make it easier on us to do listen to you while driving home
Who's Major Kayle?
Make a video on the potential future of the tau
One of my favorite Xenos faction (maybe the coolest)
Where do you get that Dope AF hoody?! I need it for obvious reasons!
Dont forget that grey knight got infected and could barely resist it before being killed
Question: Since tau do not have psychic abilities, would a tau genstealer be able to hear the call of the hivemind? Thanks for the Nid-vid!
