The Grey Knights are the antithesis of evil, they go to Hell so others can go to Heaven. They give up their humanity, for humanity. They've just been done dirty by Black Library by being written poorly.
Thank you for this! I have also been disappointed with a Grey Knights novel I bought. I've also heard someone say that GK are "Mary Sues" because their faction doesn't really have a lot of internal strife, they get their geneseed from The Emperor, they're so badass to be on or nearly on par with Custodes. I really like your comment because this sums up the conflict with the Grey Knights, why they're interesting. They take on the grimmest, most mind-bendingly hellish of tasks and give up their humanity to take on humanity's gravest foes. Somehow, they are immune to corruption but are still exposed to the absolute horrors that are daemons. It's a dirty job but someone's got to do it. Their drama is not so much from internal conflict as it is from their quests and foes they face, in addition to the moral complexity of dealing with the public after it had been exposed to chaos.
I just started getting in to 40k relatively recently, but so far I think these guys are my favorite. They’re basically a bunch of sci fi battlemages/paladins that specialize in demon hunting and that has to be my favorite concept in fiction.
Same. Learned about Grey Knights and was instantly hooked. Painted every model except for the Dreadknight, which isn't saying much since GW made like 4 types of units for them....
Khorne must love these guys. Unwavering warriors who fearlessly face off the enemy by directly diving in to their midst and yet they survive. I think the only thing he dislikes about them is the killings of the weak, be they ally or foe.
So... Let me get this straight... On titan.. theres a vault of greater demons.. just sitting in necron poke balls... (Cultists heavy breathing intensifies)
Yes. Unfortunately, in order to get to them, you'd need to do two things. 1) Literally assault the Fortress Monastery of a Chapter of Psychic Space Marines who hate all things chaos and specialize in killing it. 2) Know enough about Necron hyper-advanced technology to release the daemon within less you get trapped in there with it. Of those two things, you're better off with the Grey Knights, because the Necrons have honed the capture and pokeballing of god-like entities to an artform.
As before, The Premiere was received untainted. But the reaffirmation remains glorious. A salute of praise for U're continued integrity & devotion. Keep us in the Light of the Emperor! 👍👍
Another amazing video! So thorough and your voice is so perfect for Warhammer... send chills right through me. I love everything you are doing and for such a new fan to Warhammer - I appreciate your time and effort 🥰🥰🥰
I'm fairly new to the Warhammer universe but the Grey Knights just sounds amazing. Every lore video makes me think the Grey Knights are really good and most space marines have no idea they exist. Really good info on the Grey Knights thank you 💯 22:31
Great Work all around. Its always nice to find everything in one place. My only, hopefully constructive, criticism would be that you did not put the name of Justicar Alaric for the Inspired quote near the end but thats it. Thanks for the Hard Work.
The armour with steel faith written on it and pauldrons with english letters just broke it. We died out, our STC needs to be discovered before they start writing our Xenos language!
Outstanding work! Where did you gather the Heraldry info? I'll honestly be going back to this video multiple times for that section alone while I painting my Knights. Thank you!
The first Grey Knights were already Astartes so they didn’t have the emperors genetic code. So when was that introduced. The first were a collection gathered by Malcador from all the legions.
GK: "I am the hammer!" Guardsmen: ""Vulkan?!!" GK: "What!?! No, I'm a Grey Knight, the hammer of-" Guardsman: "I mean if anyone is the Emperor's hammer, it has to be Vulkan right? Did you clear this with him? If you are speaking metaphorically, then The Lion comes to mind, but I mean hammers and Vulkan are pretty intrinsically linked together" GK: "EXTERMINATUS!!"
I find it funny how they lost like 100 grey knight veterans against Angron and are like business as usual. I feel this would be crippling catastrophe for the grey knights specifically. Send in the billion recruits.
What makes angeron so special? Demon princes are not supposed to be beyond the purview of grey knights. One flipping hundred? Sounds like plot armor bc anger on is a primarch main character. Bs
“We are the Hammer!” The Gray Knights are perhaps one of the most valuable warriors within the Imperium as they are by far the most effective Daemon Slayers, and even the Forces of Chaos fear these powerful warriors for they can bring a unending threat of the neverborn.
"Always outmanned, yet never outmatched the scions of the Emperor shall never relent in their ceaseless purge of the unclean of the Universe. No matter the cost, no matter the odds, and no matter the danger. The Grey Knights shall continue their holy quest to destroy every last vestige of daemon influence across the stars." I found my chapter.
They're Mary Sues with contradictory lore. Do not be swayed by their 'bestest of the very bestest' appeal, brother. There are real chapters in need of initiates.
The Grey Knights: killing enough Imperial civilians to make a Greater Daemon of Khorne proud since M31. If you're a minion of chaos and want to clear a few systems of Imperial life, broadcast a daemonic incursion or summoning across civilian channels on local worlds. The Inquisition will probably show up with their lapdogs and wipe out the populations for you. Sarcasm aside, the GK are the most grimdark faction in 40k outside the Dark Eldar. There are numerous chapters and forces that fight daemons, and the GK are strong among them, but the the way they both treat their allies disdainfully and duplicitously, and treat imperial civilians as chattel makes it hard for me to consider them worth it. If I were Guilliman I'd be giving them constant side eye.
Some of their culling practices sound unrealistic. "Millions" of aspirants who otherwise would likely have been suitable for other chapters killed in a simple test of fortitude? That's got to be a needless waste of resources
"Rarest of all are red swords on a black field ... " NOT SO!!!! I have a green sword on a gold field, it stands for "Cutting the grass while it is hot". And as far as I know, that is the only one, on my armour!!! Thus, that would be the rarest one. :(
The emperor: religion is a backwards construct that ruins everything it touches. Also the emperor: let's number our demon hunters legion a number that only makes sense if you've read and believe this one ancient book.
The Grey Knights give up there old name, old personality and humanity. They have no desire for glory or personal gain. Everything they do is for the Emperor and for humanity. This is the same for the Golden Gods the Costodes. "I know I misspelled there name sorry!" I feel like this is why they are near impossible to turn. The Astartes and even the Emperor's sons have a lot of pride and envy and all of the other emotions that the warp gods like to pray on and use to turn them against there Daddy Big E!
Whenever i remember i leave comments, press share etc. You need be picked up by the algorythm. Your way of explaining ist just peak to me you are on baldermorts level
I said it in a reply out another comment so I got to put it out in the main one how nasty is there Tech marine armor with the red in the silver contrast? And the helmet design with the red it just looks sinister! I just f****** love their color scheme! As a raven guard player I'm used to painting a lot of blacks and whites I also have Raptors and carcharodon's so I've done grey with the carcharodon but damn it I think I need to start a gray Knights Army just my God they're sick that freaking helmet design with the Terminator armor it's badass!
Bro I was just thinking about this, The Librarians of the gray Knights have to be insane sychar levels! I mean they're all siker's as it is they're all extremely powerful siker's they all have the emperor's Jean seed and a librarian is like an Uber sychar so if you take chapter that's already a bunch of uber siker's and then put them in holy armor with the emperor's psychic teens seed and then they're Librarians which means they're that much more in-depth with the warp? And some of these dudes the older ones were like knights-errant from the Thousand Sons so holy effing crap! I didn't think about that but then dudes like blow up some s*** with their heads! LOL
Can anyone answer how old aspirants are when they go through the trials? Do they already have some of the gene seed implants or are they just regular humans meaning they are all around 10 when they have to walk on the surface of Titan.
I dont get it. Is their geneseed completely based off the Emporers' genetic makeup? Does that mean they have their own gene-fathers progenoid glands removed? Also, aren't the Primachs themselves based off the Emporers genetic material? So.....i dont get it.
Sooooo.. are the Custodes are of similar strengths to primarchs far as prowess ' overall ability? Since the Custodes are similarly related to the Master of Mankind like the primarchs.. Or are they GREATER! THEN THE PRIMARCH! I also wonder if the GreyKnights are similarly powerful to primarchs.. Enlighten me.. OH LORE MASTER!
My only question is this The Grey Knights are supposed to be the best, apart from the Custodes and Primarchs. However, they were utterly embarrassed by the Space Wolves, with their Supreme Grandmaster being killed by Logan Grimnar. Can someone please better explain how this can be when the Grey Knights are without peer amongst the Astartes?
dude the grey knights are the military arm of the Ordo Malleus, They aint space marines, they are inquisitor tanks used to fight daemons. This channel is bollocks.

So nobody is going to mention the Silver Knight of Slaneshh who was a Grey Knight?
If my memory serves me correctly he did get corrupted but I think it costed slaneesh a lot and a lot of power and influence to do so so the hermaphrodite that is slaneesh is very very reluctant to use his/her newest and greatest tou
Was it ever confirmed as a grey knight?
Weren't multiple Grey Knights lost on the way?
@@roberthutchinson2856No it was not
From my understanding they retconned it that instead of him being a grey night he’s just a random marine now
One of the reasons the grey knights are so intimidating and awe inspiring is that every time you see one it’s like the first time!
Like boobies
And most likely the last one as well.

One should always remember they are part of the inquisition. "Putifying" can go many ways.
So it's a whole army doing what doom guy does alone and wins.
The fact that you have so few subscribers for such a good 40k channel baffles me
That last quote was one of the hardest I’ve heard
I just started getting in to 40k relatively recently, but so far I think these guys are my favorite. They’re basically a bunch of sci fi battlemages/paladins that specialize in demon hunting and that has to be my favorite concept in fiction.

The stuttering free version. Ty for the re elucidation. Worthy of the Grey knights to get rid of the stuttering influence of the ruinous powers.
Khorne must love these guys. Unwavering warriors who fearlessly face off the enemy by directly diving in to their midst and yet they survive. I think the only thing he dislikes about them is the killings of the weak, be they ally or foe.
40 min of lore on my favorite chapter? Subscriber earned

The last quote with Immortal Imperium playing in the background is such an awesome touch. Thanks Remembrancer,
Holy Emperor! What a treat for work. Thank you kind souls :) ❤
So good to see. Thank you for all the hard work in making this. My favorite chapter.

Really good info on the Grey Knights thank you 💯 22:31
I am pretty sure I have seen this exact once before.
It's a testament to how good it is, when I saw it a second upload. 👍
You know what's better than Doom Guy? An entire ARMY of Doom Guys!!!
Definitely the best grey knights lore video out here - I’ve been waiting for it for 2 years 🥲
This is a great video but idk bout the best maybe u should watch luetin09 take on them to
The old video is tainted by corruption??? We watch again because We are the hammer!!!!!!
Great Work all around. Its always nice to find everything in one place. My only, hopefully constructive, criticism would be that you did not put the name of Justicar Alaric for the Inspired quote near the end but thats it. Thanks for the Hard Work.
I wanna see this chapter animated like the blood angels on wh+. From inception to recruitment to deployment would be awesome
The last part from the grey knights and you was my favorite part of the video
I hope you do a video solely on Castellan Crowe at some point in the future

@@TheRemembrancer D’oh, silly me! Gonna watch that with eagerness ❤️
In the middle of the workday? Dude - you trying to kill me here?
great lore
Nice way to end my night...thank you....again?
The armour with steel faith written on it and pauldrons with english letters just broke it. We died out, our STC needs to be discovered before they start writing our Xenos language!

During their time hiding in the warp toward the end of the horus heresy.
GK: "I am the hammer!"
Guardsmen: ""Vulkan?!!"
GK: "What!?! No, I'm a Grey Knight, the hammer of-"

I love your content man, i watch almost everything from your channel, love it!
Praise the Holy Man-peror. His Remembrancer blesses us with knowledge once more.
Is it just me, or does that blue sword at 18:29 look like FROSTMOURNE
I haven't seen this one. What a great weekend :)
Ankther awesome video eith that awesome and fiiting voice
I find it funny how they lost like 100 grey knight veterans against Angron and are like business as usual. I feel this would be crippling catastrophe for the grey knights specifically. Send in the billion recruits.
@@warewind military doesn’t deal with losses like you assume. In the future it will be more unless soyboys have a word
What makes angeron so special? Demon princes are not supposed to be beyond the purview of grey knights. One flipping hundred? Sounds like plot armor bc anger on is a primarch main character. Bs
Big dawg, your voice good enough to just narrate them bad ass quotes without sounding like Roz from monster inc! Love your content!
i was just thinking on build my first army ever and starting with GK is this a signal?
Thank you for the vid, just brilliant.
I found warhammer 40k i love it brother's The Grey Knights are my favorite!!! We Are The Hammer !!
I am embarrassed that I have been watching your videos for months and haven't subscribed yet. I have fixed that problem.
Wonderful work 👏
Am I haveing a Déjà vu?
The original version had problem with the visuals so the video needed to be rebuild to fix the issue
@@TheRemembrancer Just wanted to say that you're doing a fantastic job. Keep up the good work my friend.
@@TheRemembrancerdeamomic corruption
@@TheRemembrancer What problem did you run into?
The Visuals animations were stuttering rather than being smooth so the entire transmission was very shakey
The emperor protects my brothers !!!
That time even a Grey Knight bowed to Bjorn the Fell Handed.
I’m just doing my duty to watch again for the re-release o7
Yea I don't think the space wolves much care. Still getting a bolter to face on sight
Thank you brother lore master!
For the emperor and the algorithm!
The grey knights would love the doom slayer like khorne loves the orks
If they were smart they would lay out the red carpet to the warp and then stay out the way and watch the show
The Emperors Gift was just released on audible. Is it worth it? I need something more than bolter p0rn, so still not sure if i should buy it.
“I am the killer of friendly eyewitnesses, even though chaos already knows about me”
Fantastic
Inquisitor Waifu Vakir would've approved of this Elucidation.
I Salute you, Remembrancer!

As a GK player and DA …. It’s the Lion they have to worry about.
Would you consider uploading these as an audio only podcast?
Just listen and don't watch. Boom audio only.
Very nice mate
What else could you do with the over 1 million it takes to make just 1 grey knight?
Some of their culling practices sound unrealistic. "Millions" of aspirants who otherwise would likely have been suitable for other chapters killed in a simple test of fortitude? That's got to be a needless waste of resources
Is this a reupload? Feel like I watched this a couple days ago
Keep it up!
sending this to our GK player
"Rarest of all are red swords on a black field ... "
NOT SO!!!!
I have a green sword on a gold field, it stands for "Cutting the grass while it is hot".
And as far as I know, that is the only one, on my armour!!!
Thus, that would be the rarest one. :(
So, a full watch again AND a comment? Say no more.
I thought to be a speaker of the English language but behold, I’m just a mere idiot

Ah, Re upload. Cool. Glad I’m not crazy.
I thought I’d listened to this while going to sleep 24 hours ago.
Thought I’d imagined it… unless of course it was someone else…
Lol imma summon a daemon and do some big boy !! Why's my daemon look like a space marine?? Oh sht. oh sht! oh sht!
