I am supriced there is no Assasin Temple focused on training Fighter Pilots. I mean, sometimes jjust don't bother a planetary invasion, just send in a Stealth Jet with Nukes. There is no base risk with the idea like its the case with psykers or mutants so it's just strange.

House Venenum: Does this taste funny to you ? *everything in the room melts into goo 5 seconds later * House Vanus: We make everyone want to assassinate you for us! (honestly should be made to work with all other houses to make all ops perfectly executed) House Secretum: Shut your mouth, it doesn't exist *kills every one within 5 miles of a copy of E.T. the video game*
By the emperor. This is highly classified information you are speading on the imper-net. * Loads bolter and maybe a leviathan dreadnought with malicious intent *
And that's the main reason why everything loves fighting humans cause when pushed far enough but not too far you get something that would make the old ones and the chaos gods take notes
The tyranids did not exist at this point, so it makes sense that they would make such a horrific monstrosity just to see if it would serve the Emperor.
4:38 Eehhh, not as bad as the Hentai I normally read. Legionstrasse scientists: why is the navigator having fits of delusions and stating that all the Khornate daemons passing the ship are clapping and saying "I'm so proud of you, son"?
In Warhammer Fantasy, Clan Pestilens are monstrous, inhuman rat monsters worshipping a god of evil. In 40k, Clan Pestilens works for the Imperium. Grimdark.

It would be a great trope reversal where the imperium is not in fact the POV, but is actually the daunting other. Get us to get into an eldar mentality and stuff. Also love the Maerorus design, has a real Evangelion feel to it. Works well since it’s some Human/xeno hybrid. It’s lanky in that monsterously familiar way.
Even worse...we have to remember it can shapeshift as well. Also I think this would work best in a story where the dark eldar (and a few others) are the protagonists. Having the dark eldar being intrigued, getting sadistically creative, then entering a panic when the creature that they also enhanced with the work of their haemonculi and then placed in the pits is not contained. Resulting in the dark eldar wyches and karbalites having to put aside old vendettas to prevent their socity being turned into food for the monster they unleashed from stasis.
Well, it's quite a bit later and not exactly what you whished for, BUT there's a really good new book by Robert Rath with a similar premise. It's about a team of Assassins, consisting of a Vindicare, a Callidus and a Vanus having to infiltrate the complicated society of an Imperial-Knight house, take out it's high monarch and install a new leader. It's called Assassinorum Kingmaker.
This video is by far the most hilarious assortment of lore I've encountered online. I watch it when I need to relax before an exam. It always puts a smile on my face. I was more than a bit inconvenienced the day your channel got taken down. Good to have it back.
@@DanielChico09 well in the golden age of tech, mankind was so powerful and technologically advanced that they made non-aggression pacts with the Orkz. So if someone is really committed and has the resources in 40k they could make say...a monster so terrifyingly good at violence Khorne deamons throw in the towel....but Arch tells it better.
I was lead to believe the Old Ones were the apex of genetic engineering, that the Necrontyrs developed the best machinery, that the Aeldari were superior to all in manipulating the imaterium. Guess I was wrong. Everything a xeno do well specialized humans can do better and the only reason their success doesn't spread is because of Imperial rule. When the Empire end the xenos better pray that none or those factions survive or else the technological cultures they will spread will be able to extinguish all aliens and demons.
@@DanielChico09 well I mean you're kinda right though, in current 40k the imperium is...well to say it's a shadow of its former self is generous. There's like one offs where someone does something amazing but generally in the current era the imperium is basically just surviving off the scraps of what it can dig up (stcs and relics), the Old Ones were the dominant species and the Necrotyr were their self made equals. But that was millions of years ago, and then the Eldar had their time before their fall. That's what gave old humanity the chance to step up, but that took a long time but the Men of Iron revolted, psychers happened, and basically humanity couldn't sustain it's empire anymore. Big E did his best to stablize humanity but there's no way 40k humanity is superior to xenos...the war of the beast kinda proves that humans are kinda mid tier, but like I said there's one offs, like cawl and the assisasinorim making a super killer tyranid monster. If anything the tau are the only ones expanding their reach...but in the end we all know it's gonna Orkz and Tyranids that are gonna be the last ones standing. Arch should do a tier list to be honest
When the Imperium needs chest bursters and an evolved Species story. Send in a new relatively untested new form a assassin that becomes a cross between Freddy Kruger, Jason and Micheal Myers. For everything else theres a chucky doll.
Temple Maerorus: Xenomorphs possessed by Chaos Temple Venenom: Poisions Temple Varnus: Charachter Assassination Temple Secretum: Cleaners Ordo Sicarius: Assasian Hunters There is also a bunch of unofficial assassins such as Death Cult.
Vrax should’ve had Venonum assassins instead of Vindicare. A few poison-plagues would’ve done well to show the populace the consequences of turning from the Emperor’s Light, and encouraged them to rethink who was actually the blessed vs heretical bunch in the sector.
It's remarkable how the Imperium is apparently so hard pressed, and so thinly spread against so many enemies, yet still they always cause death and destruction of epic scale to their own citizens for absolutely no reason at all
Oh good christ. Six minutes into this video and I have to pause due to my sides hurting. The king of sarcastic understatement, Arch you are my hero lololol. Now let's see if I survive the rest.
Send Legienstrasse to Khorne. He'll enjoy it, granted it will kill everything there till only Khorne is left standing... sitting... But he'll be happy that he has a pet and proof Khorne will no longer be a problem because he has a kickass pet.
8:46 and she STILL killed most of them. *ALONE* . Hell, she got her head cut off,had an almost dead,suicidal Evessor blow itself up on her and she still killed a few people until she got pulverised and the only people left where some of the best Assassins of the Imperium and Space Marines! Captain Lysander was the only one who survived that fight! *With luck* !
And now I know where Deculture got the names for certain class of Magical Girls in Magical Girl Noir Quest that I thought were not major imperial officios. Also, KKND2... I see what you did there!
Imagine what would happen if a tyranid hive fleet were able to consume one of Legienstrasse's offspring and have an entire hivefleet that could do what she did
jonathan phillips Now I know why GW never did anything with this idea. No matter what happens, there’s a blanket 85% chance that the whole galaxy gets nommed regardless.

TheHej2 Coincidence. Just like Fabius Bile is the epitome of a Chaos Worshipper without actually giving a leathery fuck about it, these temples are just coincidentally falling along the lines of Chaos factions.
@@crypto1223 If I have learned anything about Warhammer 40k, ist that there is nothing like Coincidence, and it is always Chaos. You are safer that way.
Oh God-Emperor no. If there is _any_ race in the galaxy who would look at Legienstrasse and go "Ahmma make it mah pet!" and then actually pull it off, it'd be the kings of absolute batshit shenanigans, the Orks.
Imagine. For two seconds, The ORK reaction to Legienstrasse. Khornate daemons were loyal to it that quickly... the fuck are the orks gonna do? Would their spores just be a nebulous field from which it could draw mass? The literal air is supplying it.
I am looking forward to this remake! I bet it is my loyal vampire, I mean cannibal, Konrad!!!!!! Sadly I will be indisposed on a Christmas Holiday, as such... no premiere for me. *sad gas mask noises*
@@darkinnovator2479 Sanguinius has a legion that has literal blood-thirst. Konrad Curze is fiction's 2nd most horrific version of Batman (The Batman who Laughs is worse) with his legion as his Robins.
@@NetMoverSitan I know the lore, look past it to physical appearance. Konrad Curze is the image of Dracula, long cascades of dark hair, pale complexion, sharp talons, and for some reason I can see him speaking with a Transylvanian or even Russian accent. One of Konrad's inspirations is theorised to be Vlad the Impaler, and Konrad looks the part of the Vampire that was inspired off his myth: Count Dracula. Sanguinius meanwhile, while yes looks a lot like the Archangel Michael, paints his duality that perhaps he is the "hot" Lucifer material. Sanguinius' rage and blood thirst is what he is, Lucifer fell not into sin because of outside interference but because it is who he is, it is what they are.
@@thedarkmaster4747 weeeeell they are still VERY dangerous in person. Most of them are stacked with all kinds of physical enhancements and micro-weapons (like kinetik repulsors and digi-lasers).
One of the oldest recorded assassins/serial killers was a Roman woman named Locusta who was a master of poisoning people. Venenum seemed to be based on her practices.
Somehow I think Vanus should be the only or at least highest temple. Having a fetish for information aside they are fairly well adjusted and might only cause problems with time sensitive matters when they are still analysing the carpets and an eversor would have solved the issue already.
A Chaos Spawn that can think at a high level, change its body into any shape it wants to, absorbe instandly anything it touches and reproduce... if there is a Chaos Spawn that is worse than this it Foulspawn, an follower of Nurgle who became a Chaos Spawn and after eating a ton of people becoming *A DAEMON PRINCE!* By now he is as big as a God Emperor-damned mountain!
Through his knowledge and craft, Vanus Temple operative Kurei Adamta, was able to reverse to some degree Eversors chemical conditioning, bring back sanity and personality of the Eversor Assassin, Sylas Torq. ‘And what could the target be,’ said Lysander, ‘that three Assassins are despatched to kill her?’ ‘What else?’ said Syncella. ‘Another Assassin....’ Lady Syncella, Grand Master of the Culexus Temple. Legienstrasse... She was one of a kind.
Yep. The kind that would slurp your body up into itself and then pop out another clutch of clones, or other enhancements. Would have been terrifying if one developed a libedo for stuff other than Just killing.
@@thedarkmaster4747 They have the whole contingent of Assassinorum Storm Troopers. Some "specialist" where even tasked to summon bounded Daemons and other unholy forces. Later the whole task force of the Imperial Guard and, Holy Fleet arrived in Opis System to crush the rebellion on Opis. The last but not least Imperial Fists Veterans landed on Opis. Then the war started for real.
Daimon X isn't feeding it guardsmen counter productive? This is inquisition level operations here, isn't the first ritual they practice when removing the power armored guantlets, killing the guard - because they don't have even have the clearance to "bare witness... " to said events? What about deathwatch, aren't they perfectly equipped for sittuations exactly like this? If not grey knight squads or sororitas, rather than a hoodwinked in detachment from a near by space marine force, it's so unprofessional... And why would you choose assasinorum kasrkins, when you have assasinorum deathcultests trained by the eversor or callidus clades? The fists should sue them for reckless endangerment, resulting in the loss of both irreplaceable personel and equipment. Hell you could've fed the guardsmen to the deathcultists as payment.
Imagine if they combine varnas width an eversor. An intelligence gathering hacking mastrer. Doing a thanos moment. Putting on the eversor suit whyle saying: fine, i do it myself.
Sooo whenever the war against the Immaterium seems lost, release a clone of Legienstrasse into the immaterium, close it of and wait till you eventualy perish to a Legienstrasse mutated to have the powers of all the chaos gods…

Do you by any chance know the name of that story? I want to know more.

The Tyrranid would love to have the genscripts of this thing.
@@MrGallobird That might actually mean the destruction of all life in the universe.
Temple Venenum is receiving some interesting looks from the Deathguard and the Haemonculi.
House Maerorus: Congratulations we created THE THING...oops.
House Venenum: Does this taste funny to you ? *everything in the room melts into goo 5 seconds later *
House Vanus: We make everyone want to assassinate you for us! (honestly should be made to work with all other houses to make all ops perfectly executed)
House Secretum: Shut your mouth, it doesn't exist *kills every one within 5 miles of a copy of E.T. the video game*
Maerorus Temple... Followers of David... "Mr Eversor, see that big leathery egg in the corner, go have a look at whats inside..."
We cannot be certain all of Legienstrasse's eggs were destroyed... Emperor have mercy.

There is nothing that can be done by a daemon that cannot be done better by a human.
Except coming back from having a melta bomb stuck to your chest and detonated.
@@robertnelson9599 That's what soul eating assassins are for. No daemon is coming back from having it's soul eaten.
And that's the main reason why everything loves fighting humans cause when pushed far enough but not too far you get something that would make the old ones and the chaos gods take notes
I'm disappointed that you didn't mention Lysander essentially throwing a gooddamn Eversor at the thing and all it served as was a damn decoy.
O.o.. no wonder chaos bowed to this fucker.
Legian Strassa(sp?) just sounds like 40k does 40k style xenomorphs because Tyranids weren't hardcore enough.
The tyranids did not exist at this point, so it makes sense that they would make such a horrific monstrosity just to see if it would serve the Emperor.
Legienstrasse.
Reminds me more of Alex Mercer from Prototype murderfucking a xenos.
Daemonculaba: I'm the most horrible thing ever conceived by anything
Legienstrasse: Hold my banana
So the Vanus are basically the phrase “knowledge is power” personified?
Seems like it.
No most likely they just know which pornhub sites big e has been watching while interred
The Officio Blackmail, basically. They've got records of EVERY farseer's racist tweet ever.
More like knowledge is knowledge but when weaponized, it becomes power
Vanus: "exists"
Evesor: Nerd!!!
4:38 Eehhh, not as bad as the Hentai I normally read.
Legionstrasse scientists: why is the navigator having fits of delusions and stating that all the Khornate daemons passing the ship are clapping and saying "I'm so proud of you, son"?
In Warhammer Fantasy, Clan Pestilens are monstrous, inhuman rat monsters worshipping a god of evil. In 40k, Clan Pestilens works for the Imperium. Grimdark.
catsareevil101 I would love a small scale methodical spy thriller novel with a team of a venenum, a vanus, and a callidus, maybe in contact with a Secretum higher up. Having to navigate politics and court intrigue while piecing together a larger mystery.
Or maybe a book from the perspective of an eldar, or some other non human faction having to snuff out a newly deployed Maerorus Unit. Make it kind of like a reverse Alien or Preditor. Where the alien is the one having to hunt down and compete with this odd monstrous “human thing”. It would be a great trope reversal where the imperium is not in fact the POV, but is actually the daunting other. Get us to get into an eldar mentality and stuff.
Also love the Maerorus design, has a real Evangelion feel to it. Works well since it’s some Human/xeno hybrid. It’s lanky in that monsterously familiar way.
Even worse...we have to remember it can shapeshift as well. Also I think this would work best in a story where the dark eldar (and a few others) are the protagonists. Having the dark eldar being intrigued, getting sadistically creative, then entering a panic when the creature that they also enhanced with the work of their haemonculi and then placed in the pits is not contained. Resulting in the dark eldar wyches and karbalites having to put aside old vendettas to prevent their socity being turned into food for the monster they unleashed from stasis.
Well, it's quite a bit later and not exactly what you whished for, BUT there's a really good new book by Robert Rath with a similar premise. It's about a team of Assassins, consisting of a Vindicare, a Callidus and a Vanus having to infiltrate the complicated society of an Imperial-Knight house, take out it's high monarch and install a new leader. It's called Assassinorum Kingmaker.
This video is by far the most hilarious assortment of lore I've encountered online. I watch it when I need to relax before an exam. It always puts a smile on my face. I was more than a bit inconvenienced the day your channel got taken down. Good to have it back.
Out Tyraniding the Tyranids....either the Hive Mind is slacking or *MANKIND* is that good
*insane
That's very strange. Are humans, or human culture, that superior to the rest of the universe?
@@DanielChico09 well in the golden age of tech, mankind was so powerful and technologically advanced that they made non-aggression pacts with the Orkz. So if someone is really committed and has the resources in 40k they could make say...a monster so terrifyingly good at violence Khorne deamons throw in the towel....but Arch tells it better.
I was lead to believe the Old Ones were the apex of genetic engineering, that the Necrontyrs developed the best machinery, that the Aeldari were superior to all in manipulating the imaterium. Guess I was wrong.
Everything a xeno do well specialized humans can do better and the only reason their success doesn't spread is because of Imperial rule.
When the Empire end the xenos better pray that none or those factions survive or else the technological cultures they will spread will be able to extinguish all aliens and demons.
@@DanielChico09 well I mean you're kinda right though, in current 40k the imperium is...well to say it's a shadow of its former self is generous. There's like one offs where someone does something amazing but generally in the current era the imperium is basically just surviving off the scraps of what it can dig up (stcs and relics), the Old Ones were the dominant species and the Necrotyr were their self made equals. But that was millions of years ago, and then the Eldar had their time before their fall. That's what gave old humanity the chance to step up, but that took a long time but the Men of Iron revolted, psychers happened, and basically humanity couldn't sustain it's empire anymore. Big E did his best to stablize humanity but there's no way 40k humanity is superior to xenos...the war of the beast kinda proves that humans are kinda mid tier, but like I said there's one offs, like cawl and the assisasinorim making a super killer tyranid monster. If anything the tau are the only ones expanding their reach...but in the end we all know it's gonna Orkz and Tyranids that are gonna be the last ones standing. Arch should do a tier list to be honest
When the Imperium needs chest bursters and an evolved Species story. Send in a new relatively untested new form a assassin that becomes a cross between Freddy Kruger, Jason and Micheal Myers.
For everything else theres a chucky doll.
How dose one become the Evasor Grand Master?
you're able to say a coherent sentence
The first test is spelling out Eversor
If you can write a legible after-action report, then you get the job.
The slightest inkling of sanity and sheer constitution required to survive that long with the cocktail in an eversors bloodstream
You must stand near someone for 2-3 seconds without dismembering them
So basically Alex Mercer from Prototype, got it.
Oh it's far worse then that.
With the ability to reproduce, and in 40K... If you thought the Blacklight outbreak in Manhattan was bad, just imagine a few Hive Worlds instead.
@@lordfrostwind3151 Alex did kinda reproduce in Prototype 2.

Yeah, but he needed to infect already existing people. Legienstrasse however could *lay goddamn eggs*!

Temple Maerorus: Xenomorphs possessed by Chaos
Temple Venenom: Poisions
Temple Varnus: Charachter Assassination
Temple Secretum: Cleaners
Ordo Sicarius: Assasian Hunters
There is also a bunch of unofficial assassins such as Death Cult.
Thanks
It is I! Ordo Sicariu... wait...
Guilliman needs to have a LONG talk with the Assassinorum. Particularly that last temple.
Legienstrasse sounds like the Maerorus temple master played Prototype and thought "this isn't 40k enough, MAKE IT SCARIER"
Vrax should’ve had Venonum assassins instead of Vindicare. A few poison-plagues would’ve done well to show the populace the consequences of turning from the Emperor’s Light, and encouraged them to rethink who was actually the blessed vs heretical bunch in the sector.
Too subtle, not enough of a message.
So the Myorium made a Xenomorph.
Venomin: the Potion maker class from Bravely Default but with the personality of Kefka from FF6.
On the plus side a vanum agent would never be able to go rogue without the grandmaster knowing
It's remarkable how the Imperium is apparently so hard pressed, and so thinly spread against so many enemies, yet still they always cause death and destruction of epic scale to their own citizens for absolutely no reason at all
Oh good christ. Six minutes into this video and I have to pause due to my sides hurting. The king of sarcastic understatement, Arch you are my hero lololol. Now let's see if I survive the rest.
I hear the Maerorus and Daemonculuba share tea on Sundays. It’d be lovely if it was existentially terrifying to everyone in the immediate area
19:11 good ol' Grandfather Nurgle would love those guys.
Servitor in the background looking at Arch like, "What are you reading brother? And who are you talking to?"
The two Grand Masters sent after Legienstrasse were the Grand Masters of the Vindicare and Culexus and both of them were killed by her.
And thats why you would send an eversor , at least the incorporation of the drugs would kill it.
Send Legienstrasse to Khorne.
He'll enjoy it, granted it will kill everything there till only Khorne is left standing... sitting...
But he'll be happy that he has a pet and proof Khorne will no longer be a problem because he has a kickass pet.
Honestly, that final temple is the most interesting one. Imagine being the secret keepers of a place as massive and awful as the Imperium of Man.
8:46 and she STILL killed most of them. *ALONE* . Hell, she got her head cut off,had an almost dead,suicidal Evessor blow itself up on her and she still killed a few people until she got pulverised and the only people left where some of the best Assassins of the Imperium and Space Marines! Captain Lysander was the only one who survived that fight! *With luck* !
Maerorus Temple: the biggest f%cking mistake that could possibly be made.
these guys are so good because they're so obscure
These videos are the highlight of my day everytime you put one up.
And now I know where Deculture got the names for certain class of Magical Girls in Magical Girl Noir Quest that I thought were not major imperial officios.
Also, KKND2... I see what you did there!
I refuse to believe that my sons would get anywhere close to a Maerorus Assassin.
Think it be better if it was Sigismund?
Imagine what would happen if a tyranid hive fleet were able to consume one of Legienstrasse's offspring and have an entire hivefleet that could do what she did
Well it would be terrifying. Though it would depend on if the nice fleet could actually absorb the spawn without being absorbed itself.
jonathan phillips Now I know why GW never did anything with this idea. No matter what happens, there’s a blanket 85% chance that the whole galaxy gets nommed regardless.

Secretum : The guardians of knowlege-> Tzeentch
Maerorus: Blod thirsty monster->Khorne
Vanus : Gets high on information->Slaanesh
TheHej2 Coincidence. Just like Fabius Bile is the epitome of a Chaos Worshipper without actually giving a leathery fuck about it, these temples are just coincidentally falling along the lines of Chaos factions.
@@crypto1223 If I have learned anything about Warhammer 40k, ist that there is nothing like Coincidence, and it is always Chaos. You are safer that way.
Yes you can see it. Calladus: ->Slaanesh. Cortexus: -> Tzeentch. Eversor: -> Khorne. Vindicare: -> Still slaanesh.
The inquisition will be with you shortly, do not move.
They should drop that first abomination thing on a Whaaagh, it'd be glorious.
Oh God-Emperor no. If there is _any_ race in the galaxy who would look at Legienstrasse and go "Ahmma make it mah pet!" and then actually pull it off, it'd be the kings of absolute batshit shenanigans, the Orks.
@@internetzenmaster8952 I want to see that now.
You want to teach it how to reproduce via spores?
Imagine. For two seconds, The ORK reaction to Legienstrasse. Khornate daemons were loyal to it that quickly... the fuck are the orks gonna do? Would their spores just be a nebulous field from which it could draw mass? The literal air is supplying it.
I am looking forward to this remake! I bet it is my loyal vampire, I mean cannibal, Konrad!!!!!! Sadly I will be indisposed on a Christmas Holiday, as such... no premiere for me. *sad gas mask noises*
Vampire? You're confusing him with the Blood Angels.
@@NetMoverSitan He's the more Dracula like in appearance between he and his Angelic brother, I personally find. :p
@@darkinnovator2479 Sanguinius has a legion that has literal blood-thirst. Konrad Curze is fiction's 2nd most horrific version of Batman (The Batman who Laughs is worse) with his legion as his Robins.
@@NetMoverSitan I know the lore, look past it to physical appearance. Konrad Curze is the image of Dracula, long cascades of dark hair, pale complexion, sharp talons, and for some reason I can see him speaking with a Transylvanian or even Russian accent. One of Konrad's inspirations is theorised to be Vlad the Impaler, and Konrad looks the part of the Vampire that was inspired off his myth: Count Dracula.
Sanguinius meanwhile, while yes looks a lot like the Archangel Michael, paints his duality that perhaps he is the "hot" Lucifer material. Sanguinius' rage and blood thirst is what he is, Lucifer fell not into sin because of outside interference but because it is who he is, it is what they are.
So the Final Destination movies is actually a Vanus assasin at work?
No that shit's straight up Tzeentch Fucking around
Yes, that's exactly what they'd be like in combat.
@@thedarkmaster4747 weeeeell they are still VERY dangerous in person. Most of them are stacked with all kinds of physical enhancements and micro-weapons (like kinetik repulsors and digi-lasers).
40k’s équivalent of The Thing.
But even worse; it still has a vaguely human mind embedded in it and is FAR more dangerous in direct combat.
One of the oldest recorded assassins/serial killers was a Roman woman named Locusta who was a master of poisoning people. Venenum seemed to be based on her practices.
this video has led me to believe that a game similar to cultist simulator but based around imperial assassins would be fucking amazing
"Disney's treatment of the star wars franchise look loving and caring." Burn dude you just got burned. Burned dude.
Vanus: mass-produced Sherlocks.
a merger between a Choas Demon host, a Genesteeler and a hentai comic. PASSES ALL SAFETY TESTS WITH FLYING COLOURS.
Somehow I think Vanus should be the only or at least highest temple. Having a fetish for information aside they are fairly well adjusted and might only cause problems with time sensitive matters when they are still analysing the carpets and an eversor would have solved the issue already.
My young and naive listener IT CAN ALWAYS GET WORSE :) good job again arch
Secretum knows who and where the real Alpharius is.
The Chaosgods have an awkward stiffy hearing about those temples.
*A REMAKE OF THE SIEGE OF VRAKS!!!*
I had never heard that Imperial of men used cyber warfare until I watch this video.
5:11 So, they created Chaos Spawn?
nero wulfee92 something even better, xenomorphs
A chaos spawn that can control its own mutation.
@@lekhaclam87 and retained intellect.
A Chaos Spawn that can think at a high level, change its body into any shape it wants to, absorbe instandly anything it touches and reproduce... if there is a Chaos Spawn that is worse than this it Foulspawn, an follower of Nurgle who became a Chaos Spawn and after eating a ton of people becoming *A DAEMON PRINCE!* By now he is as big as a God Emperor-damned mountain!
Through his knowledge and craft, Vanus Temple operative Kurei Adamta, was able to reverse to some degree Eversors chemical conditioning, bring back sanity and personality of the Eversor Assassin, Sylas Torq.
‘And what could the target be,’ said Lysander, ‘that three Assassins are despatched to kill her?’ ‘What else?’ said Syncella. ‘Another Assassin....’ Lady Syncella, Grand Master of the Culexus Temple.
Legienstrasse... She was one of a kind.
Yep. The kind that would slurp your body up into itself and then pop out another clutch of clones, or other enhancements. Would have been terrifying if one developed a libedo for stuff other than Just killing.
Only three? I'd of thought they'd send hundreds for that.
@@thedarkmaster4747 They have the whole contingent of Assassinorum Storm Troopers. Some "specialist" where even tasked to summon bounded Daemons and other unholy forces. Later the whole task force of the Imperial Guard and, Holy Fleet arrived in Opis System to crush the rebellion on Opis. The last but not least Imperial Fists Veterans landed on Opis. Then the war started for real.
Daimon X isn't feeding it guardsmen counter productive? This is inquisition level operations here, isn't the first ritual they practice when removing the power armored guantlets, killing the guard - because they don't have even have the clearance to "bare witness... " to said events? What about deathwatch, aren't they perfectly equipped for sittuations exactly like this? If not grey knight squads or sororitas, rather than a hoodwinked in detachment from a near by space marine force, it's so unprofessional... And why would you choose assasinorum kasrkins, when you have assasinorum deathcultests trained by the eversor or callidus clades? The fists should sue them for reckless endangerment, resulting in the loss of both irreplaceable personel and equipment. Hell you could've fed the guardsmen to the deathcultists as payment.
Awesome series! Thumbs up from colognia hive! Praised be the Omnissiah.
The best assassination is the one carried out by someone who doesn't even know you are involved.
This shows again what a scary, scary place the 40K universe actually is
Imagine if they combine varnas width an eversor. An intelligence gathering hacking mastrer. Doing a thanos moment. Putting on the eversor suit whyle saying: fine, i do it myself.
I would be surprised if the Forces of Chaos don't have a mirror organization like the Officio Assassinorum.
House Vanus are the decedents of 4-CHAN/POL with lots of 7's in their lineage.
So the Imperium thought that creating Menththuyoupi with the fertility of the Queen was a great idea, huh?
10:45 dark helmet is that you?
5:15 The perfect tyranid doesnt exi-
Never mind it does.
Does the imperium have a form of honey trap spies?
Sooo whenever the war against the Immaterium seems lost, release a clone of Legienstrasse into the immaterium, close it of and wait till you eventualy perish to a Legienstrasse mutated to have the powers of all the chaos gods…
Maerorus temple are legit madlads for creating an artificial SCP 682 Alex Mercer Hybrid that out Tyraniding the nids.

I'm noticing a theme with the names for things in the Imperium.
As Arch talked about the Maerorus Assassin. I could not help but picture as Slaanesh Flesh Shaper.
15:05 "canned Khorne"
I can't help but wonder "are the venenum and vanus the beat cops of the officio assainorim?"
"We have Cell" Said Dragonball
"that is fucking adorable" said Maerorus
