      @jagnestormskull3178 Рік тому +13

      Sure... it's a Power Sword. An enchanted Power Sword is still a Power Sword, which can rend steel (and possibly Ceramite) like a hot knife through butter, so Jurgen and other unarmored Blanks would still be helpless.
      As for the issue of whether they could quiet the Daemon, I'd imagine that since the Culexus Temple's assassins are a more powerful type of Blank, one of them (possibly a Black Pariah) could quiet the Daemon.

    • @cadenmcerlean4920
      @cadenmcerlean4920 Рік тому +13

      My money says it's a very possible yes, but the Grey Knights being all psykers means that not only do they not want blanks around because it will mess with their abilities, the effect blanks have on the personalities of psykers means most wouldn't survive long enough to do anything with the sword

      @@cadenmcerlean4920 An alternate solution could be for a Culexus Assassin, the blankest of blanks who can eat souls, to eat the daemon. Souls and daemons are made of the same stuff, after all; if it ends with a Black Pariah, then the daemon will simply become easier to contain. Blessed chains, possibly made of phase-iron, in a blackstone (polarized to negative Warp) cell.

    One cool thing about the Grey Knights as opposed to other chapters is normally an initiate who passes a normal chapter's trials still doesn't have a full set of power armor and are usually regulated to scout roles until they have gotten experience/proven their worth. Grey Knights? With how obscenely rare it is for an aspirant to pass all the trials, once done they are given EVERYTHING. Full power armor, all the weapons, everything.

      Other chapters do that to be codex compliant. Black templars are not codex compliant, don't use that method, and give the power armor as soon as the 'aspirant' is ready.

    We can blame the OP Mary Sueness of him, however, on a certain writer who shall not be named (who no longer works at GW) who was also responsible for the Ultramarines also once being OP Mary Sues. At least he gave us Trazyn though, so its not like he did nothing good.

    There’s also a grey Knight known as Anval Thrawn who is said to be/ known as the last perpetual. In short, he was an impressive grey knight who destroyed countless daemons across many campaigns. It was only ended after being dealt a mortal wound after fighting on a craftworld by a greater daemon of Slaanesh. When his ceremony was in action, he said to have emerged from his tomb perfectly fine. He was then interrogated and found no taint of chaos on him. And so he went back to his position. In which there have been multiple instances of him dying but coming back, one of these is when a great unclean one ate him whole, but just a few moments later he carved his way out of the belly of the daemon. Though due to this perpetual status, the grandmasters forbidden him from rising in the ranks, and so he forever remains Justicar Anval Thrawn, the last perpetual.

And yet I must still venture forth, for the daemons of Chaos which threaten the realms of the Master of Mankind must be stopped before more harm can be done. Pray that you have no need of me."

It's stupid to me that he is therefore anti-Chaos all of the time, rather than being both anti-Chaos and anti-Imperial.

    Since a lot of this episode was covering the exploits of one Mr. Kaldor Draigo, allow me to extoll for a moment the exploits of my boy Oxyotl from OG Warhammer Fantasy. Basically he accomplished most of the same feats Draigo did, but rather than being an 8ft tall psychic demigod with the best arms and armor that mankind had ever made, he’s just a little lizard guy with googly eyes and a blowpipe.
    And yes, that includes killing a Greater Daemon solo, and surviving in the warp alone for a long ass time.
    TLDR; Oxyotl is just a little guy, and he goes just as hard as Kaldor Draigo.

    The Black Blade reminds me a lot of Nightblood, from Brandon Sanderson's books. Black sword that speaks to its holders mind, capable of ripping souls, calls to other people to draw it and requires someone of intensely strong will to resist... The only difference is that where the Black Blade is actually an evil demon, Nightblood is kind of naive, having been created to "slay evil" but its creators forgot to define what "evil" means.

    Salt Warning: Unfortunately, GW in their infinite wisdom have decided that Grey Knights are no longer a Psyker army. We are a weak Space Marine army with teleporters. While the new Army Rule is awesome, we no longer have the tools to capitalize on it. Also, while we still have the Psyker keyword, it's more of a hinderance than a boon since we gain little from it but many armies now have rules that let them mitigate effects from it or outright ignore it. So until the Codex comes out, probably late next year, I'm gonna shelve them. Shame, love my Grey Knights. Great vid as always guys. Thanks. Salt over.

Plus we saw Gotrek‘s quest of doom escalate from slaying trolls all the way to bloodying Belakor and surviving combat with literal gods. Best quote “I swore to die in battle and outlived a world!”

    Draigo is a great character explicitly BECAUSE he is trapped in the Wrap. I love insanely overpowered characters that either just truly do not fucking care and won't lift a finger to do anything and really just end up being dead weight or causing more problems. Or that have something that makes all that potential be only available in very tiny, hyper-specific, bursts and then they're gone/useless again and those hyper-specific windows are totally and absolutely random. I like when the bad guys have a boogeyman to be afraid of, it makes them feel more grounded when even THOSE guys are afraid of someone/something like that. Just this force of nature that just exists for the fun of it within the universe but never actually does anything meaningful, just a ton of meaningless crazy horseshit. Draigo is the space marine version of the entire Ork lore, just complete bullshit meant to be over-the-top and fun. If Orks can make an empty gun fire cause they believe hard enough, Draigo can walk around the warp committing property damage.

Like maybe he's somehow like a legend that's made manifest in part due to the hype surrounding him. Sorta the kind of story where there's a kernel of truth behind the larger than life stories, and it just kinda grew from there. idk... The idea that there's just this dude in the warp that's a badass that shows up in times of need is cool. But maybe it's not so much he's actually that strong, but maybe finds success in other ways which lead to his legend growing. Sorta where all the credit gets put to him when he's actually just a key part than the whole thing.
