@@YoBen100 To be fair, being a Chaos Regiment means that if you're ruthless enough, do enough deeds for your god, skilled enough, and most importantly, lucky enough, you can ascend into a Daemon Prince. So you know, there's still a minuscule chance that you can obtain ultimate power and such. Basically, you have even less chance of survival than your loyalist counterpart, but the potential reward is far greater.

So apparently wardogs are actually pretty fucked as well. Their helmets force them to comply with the orders of the bigger knights, but their exposure to the warp causes them to experience near constant dellusions of grandeur, and they constantly have thoughts of treachery against the full sized knights they serve, which the daemonic voices in the helmet reinforces. As such, wardogs feel a constant drive to stab the big bois in the back, but are physically unable to do so, which drives them insane.
That black and gold knight next to the white knight is a dreadblade called ‘Hope’s Shroud’ who was once Goge Vandire’s personal Freeblade until his assassination, where the knight declared his loyalty to Goge Vandire and turned traitor, who now goes around but chering Sisters of battle as a personal form of vengeance.
To add to Hopes Shroud badassness; It keeps a Canoness's head from each of the Orders that betrayed his master, prominently displaying them upon the knight.
Just the fact that there's a chaos knight that can just manifest if you kill too many enemies. I imagine with the Warp fuckery the guy still believes he continuously fights the same battle and isn't even aware that he has fallen to chaos.
Quite large compared to other average units in the Warhammer 40K universe, Armirger Knights and War Dogs are quite a bit shorter than others such as the knight Desecrator and Knight Abominant. So to us, they are large, but to other Chaos knights, they are in fact, just some little guys

Theirs a few books including his own if you look hard enough that make him to be a pretty good person. He does have a really weird flaw that none of the other Primarchs have and it’s that when some genetic information gets unlocked in his mind sometimes it opens up a dam of info that effectively gives him amnesia. In the rush of information it wipes out his previous memories basically making him start from scratch. On record it happened twice. After traveling the world helping civilians to clear his conscience and get free stuff, becoming a legend in the process, he was climbing a mud hill in the rain when suddenly a surge of knowledge happened and he lost all memory of his time prior. He wondered “Why am I here? I’m a kid, what kind of father would abandon a kid like this?”
@@The_Bird_Bird_Harder yeah, as a kid he became a folk hero, slaying monsters and saving villages only asking for food, clothing and to borrow a forge as payment. Then just before meeting his father he forgot all about being a literal hero. All of it started because he saw a kid get eaten by a giant snake and people begged him to do something. He wanted to help but couldn’t imagine a scenario where he could save the kid and left. Afterwards he got stuck on that moment and decided to go to barge into a forge and make a sword the blacksmith was stunned at how brazen this kid was and just had the feeling he should help since the sword he was making was very crude. Then good old Peter Turbo hunted down that monster, killed it dead and tracked down the father to let the father know his child was avenged. He was given awards as thanks for slaying the beast and he realize “I can slay monsters hurting people, people give me things when I help them. I can work with this” that entire hero’s journey just got kneecapped by amnesia. It was an absolute “this is what he could have been” moment

18:00 that'd be the Book Mechanicum, a Knight fought the Kaban Machine, got it's shit kicked in, BARELY survived and was only repaired because it's Pilot was so determined to save it, and then the Knights Machine Spirit kind of guided him by fucking with it's own Sensors to give false returns sometimes and also gave him a feeling of "the thing that I fought is somewhere off in that direction" and eventually he convinces his Buddy Knight Pilot to go with him and they head off to fight the Kaban Machine. Not gonna spoil the ending of that Book because it is soooo fucking cool and is absolutely worth it for any Knight or Titan Fans, but there are some very epic Combat Scenes involving Titans and Knights.
Horus Heresy Book #9. Not sure, but it may predate the first Codex Imperial Knights. Haven't read it in a while, but I'm not sure if the entire Throne Mechanicum full of pilot ghosts had been introduced yet.
There's some Mechwarrior-esc RPG potential with the Imperial and Chaos Knights. You could be the last of your House, the last smoldering ember of honor. You'd be tasked with dealing with Local planetary issues as you're shown the ropes on how to pilot your Knight by your mentor, who makes note of your family's shame. You're not liked. As the game progresses, you'd earn respect and eventually gain access to space travel and soon inter-sector travel via the Warp. You'd make allies, enemies, make friends with a "young" Tech Priest(which would unlock the ability to modify your chosen Knight chassis.) From there, it'd be narrative driven and you'd earn loot, weapons, money and salvage from destroyed Knights, and other enemies.
Bricky: THATS NOT FUCKING CANON! About the Iconoclast Knight houses. What Kirioth said is more or less correct except it went more like the ghost engrams in the throne sort of went "Oh no, dishonour! We must regain it by destroying our foes!" but that turned into a feedback loop whereby the Knights who followed Horus committed more dishonourable acts so they killed more until it became more about the act of killing anything and everything than the reason behind it. For the War Dogs they basically accept anyone who wants to try and Become, slap them in a "hacked" (read: brutalised by the Dark Mechanicum) Helm Mechanicum and if they live they throw them in a War Dog suit. Live is relative though, they don't care about the mental state of the new War Dog pilot and to a lesser extent the physical state because the Dark Mechanicum is the Dark Mechanicum and they have ways of dealing with it.
@@mattiaslime8926 From the Codex it says that the accept the most brutal of warriors to try the Helm Mechanicus because it has less safeguards than a Throne. To me that implies that a Throne would reject them outright as not being capable or worthy enough for a full Knight.
@@steweygrrr i have also just seen that war dogs and other smaller knights are programmed to instill obbedience to pilots of bigger knights. Soo yes they are basically foot soldiers of bigger knights.
There are always more aspirants, eager to pilot the giant robot. And if by some happenstance none are available, anyone can be "persuaded" to pilot one.
Anime fans like Dk be like “One Piece is really good you just have to watch the first 50 episodes.” Also Dk: I watch the first episode of Spy X Family. It was pretty mid. Excuse me what?
Spy x Family can literally be turned into a Dark Heresy RP and you cannot convince me otherwise. Loid is an inquisitorial agent who uses polymorphine to infiltrate stuff, Yor is a death cult assassin (look at the official models and tell me otherwise), Anya is a rogue latent psyker who Loid picked up as an asset, the Eden school is the Schola Progenium, Damian's dad is a corrupt/possibly seditious planetary governor, and Yuri is a commissar in the governor's PDF.
I have a homebrew character knight pilot who house fell to slaanesh. She had go flee from her home or be corrupted, and she later found my homebrew space marine chapter the Angels Redeemed. She now acts as a freeblade for them.
my homebrew house was actually renegade not chaos. but slowly collapsed in on itself because they were so obsessed with repelling the imperium they ignored all the knights falling to chaos
18:20 This also happened in one of the dark imperium books with Guilliman when the book shifts to the view of a preceptor of a warlord titan. He has to fight the titans will to go full tilt into combat and force it to maintain the formation. I imagine all titan-class warsuits are similar to a degree where the warsuit has a will of it's own.
Oh yeah they do cause with titans and to a lesser extension knights have an a INTELLIGENT machine spirit with a ACTUAL personality so most pilots have to wrestle with the machine spirit for control. How they got away with allowing the titans to have actual a.i I don’t know probably because they are so powerful
@@riven5677 They don't have intelligence. An intelligent machine is heresy. This is why they require a human precept at all instead of being fully autonomous. What it DOES have is a will and wants. It it a war machine, and so what it wants is to do exactly what it was meant to: destroy everything in it's path. The precept is the Ego to the machines Id, making logical decisions and suppressing the machines spirits base desires. Knights work similarly, but the ancestral spirits function as a moderator to give the knight and it's precept a sense of duty and honor so that it's less of a wrestling match of wills and more of a mutual experience. Consequently of course when those ancestral spirits go mad or are replaced with demons, it drives both the pilot and the knight insane...
@@dovakiin296 oh right my bad I thought that the big titans like the warlord and imperator machine spirit was actually intelligent maybe to the equivalent of a child but still intelligent
@@riven5677 I wouldn't know for sure, only that it would be incredibly heretical and hypocritical of the mechanicus to use Titans if they had any capacity to think for themselves...
Fun little note when you ever talk about Emperor's Children and Fabius Bile. Fabius Bill team up with the Dark Eldar once to build a tower made out of flesh that was alive and is still alive
I was hoping for a bit more on the Houses but I guess another episode down the line. 2 stand out to me. 1) House Korvax being spirited away House Raven Knights who can now move through shadows, cus the Knight Rampager on the other side of the building wasn't scary already now it's just gonna go through the building like it wasn't even there. Which leads to an amazing head canon of how that happens of just shadows coalescing onto the side of the building so that the stain becomes thick and out looms this tar dripping Knight face followed by it slowly reaching out with it's claw as it lopes out of the wall just absolutely dripping this inky darkness off of it, this awful wet sucking sound assaulting your ears as the shadow slowly sloths off of its panels, before it goes to absolute town on anything unfortunate enough to be on the other side of that wall. 2) House Khymere, who were staunch loyalists during the Heresy era but got chased into the Eye but the Imperium all the while Imperium screaming "Heretic, foul demon spawn, etc etc etc". Khymere, very confused, ran into the Eye trying to show their innocence and get some Tzeentch level fuckery happen to them meaning they spent centuries, millennia even, stuck in the Warp being casually Daemon tortured. The Warp then spits the gibbering insane wrecks of this once proud House back into realspace IN THEIR OWN PAST so they start rip and tearing Imperial forces which starts the whole Khymere witch hunt off in the first place. Tzeentch was definitely on the ball that day in some capacity, I'm sure if he understood the concept he'd've be pissing himself with laughter.
I got into chaos knights recently and I made them where it was like a Trojan horse. orks were piloting the knights and orks were on top of them pretending to attack it. then when the knights got inside the chaos base because the chaos boys didn't want to lose there knights the orks piloting would start blasting
@@myrealname9656 that just makes it even more odd because Titans can literally kill hundreds of thousands or even millions of enemies in a single volley of fire sometimes.
Yes but a Titan is more like an army in one war machine, a knight is an individual warrior. You don’t consider yourself any less powerful just because an entire army is able to kill more enemies than you can individually. You still have a body count greater than many Space Marines.
"If there's one thing that embodies Chaos it's the notion of 'if I can't have it, no one can.'" Very unlike the Imperium, who after spending two years failing to conquer a planet that had been minding its own business, decided to hit it with an asteroid.
I haven’t been a fan of any of Kirioths episodes up until this point because, as a warhammer noob, I have no base knowledge of what he’s talking about and it’s hard to care about something you know nothing about. This episode finally hit the nail and that brief introduction for the chaos knights and how they came to be was all I needed. Much better job this time and I thoroughly enjoyed the episode. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for finally making me loose all my concerns regarding money, I now ordered myself the Knight Tyrant - its going to become the Iron Breacher, Knight allied with my Iron Warriors Warband and dedicated to three things - kick Imperial Fists asses, finding a way to hijack the Phalanx and most importantly - finding a way to steal Dorns blanket from it.
@@henrypaleveda7760 Thanks, glad you like it! Well for now its just that one knight - by the way its former name was the Star Breacher, but it got renamed after the pilot allied with the Iron Warriors. But some other names I had in mind were the Storm of Steel, the Ironclad Hoplite (more greek based on the homeworld Olympia), Chimeras Wrath, the Hazard Knight and simply Destroyer.
@@oilmargarita6436 I like that you used the correct infantry name Hoplite, I think the Iron Warriors might just dig one named "Hoplite" do you have an idea of the role that the knight would play?
@@henrypaleveda7760 Well they are a Warband thats pretty much like: fuck the imperium but also fuck chaos. And fuck Perturabo in particular. They are overall pretty salty and bitter even for Iron Warrior standards. So they aren't heavy on big weaponry since they don't have any demon engines, so that knight is literally their biggest source of firepower. So if they got anything big to destroy or to make a diversion they got to relay on the Breacher.

I don't watch alot of Anime but Spy × Family is a show that takes a while to reach full speed as they don't just dump everything on you in the 1st episode. I think the Dodgeball episode is a good cutting off point for figuring out if the show will be for you or not.
47:00 When a word starts with an H followed by a vowel, it's very easy for it to get dropped because it's such a small sound. Herb, Honor, Hour.. they all drop the H.
from how the pilots are described, i keep seeing gundam Newtypes; sees visions of past ,present and future, communes with friends (more powerful pilots can see into the heads of enemies), their spirits can haunt their machines. and in Gundam Unicorn the most powerful pilots matched or synchronized with their mecha can manipulate time & reality, Psychically connect with everyone on earth and can freely communicate with spirits from past, present and future, along with watching correlating events throughout history.

39:32 "it got a bit Lannisters" I love how the Lannisters became the poster child of fictional incest from just Cersei and Jaime alone while the Targaryen, a family that is elbow deep in incest and inbreeding, is right there.
I think the pilots probably get off on making their ancestors suffer .... less of a" he's in there with them" more of a" no you're in here with me" lol
i liked the idea for slaanesh knights can have a subjugator titan machine spirit put inside of them spectacular results for both the knight and the victims that have to face it
NGL, the Knight at the front at 38:16 looks awesome. Makes me want to get a Knight kit and paint it a creamy-beigey colour. And if you get that, congratulations on being old.
29:35 Being eaten by your ancestors at Thanksgiving or Christmas while you're alive berating you after asking questions like so "what have you've done so far?" and proceed to compare you (while still being eaten) to [insert relative here].
Knight-Abominant is my favorite, potentially with Pyrothrone or Quicksilver Throne. What I understand about the lore of House Khomentis is cool; Chaos Knight equivalent of the Gal Vorbak in that they seek symbiotic possession, but because they're not Marines, they're ultimately doomed to die hosting the Neverborn, and new aspirants must take their place.

For the War Dogs they basically accept anyone who wants to try and Become, slap them in a "hacked" (read: brutalised by the Dark Mechanicum) Helm Mechanicum and if they live they throw them in a War Dog suit. Live is relative though, they don't care about the mental state of the new War Dog pilot and to a lesser extent the physical state because the Dark Mechanicum is the Dark Mechanicum and they have ways of dealing with it.
Can war dogs pilots become pilots of despoilers?
@@mattiaslime8926 From the Codex it says that the accept the most brutal of warriors to try the Helm Mechanicus because it has less safeguards than a Throne. To me that implies that a Throne would reject them outright as not being capable or worthy enough for a full Knight.
@@steweygrrr i have also just seen that war dogs and other smaller knights are programmed to instill obbedience to pilots of bigger knights. Soo yes they are basically foot soldiers of bigger knights.
There are always more aspirants, eager to pilot the giant robot. And if by some happenstance none are available, anyone can be "persuaded" to pilot one.
@@Bluecho4 yhea I mean. Even if its not the best one. Its still a giant robot with a deadly arsenal of weapons
DK: Spy x Family is over Hyped.
Spy x Family fan base: chaos is looking pretty nice right now.
Anime fans like Dk be like “One Piece is really good you just have to watch the first 50 episodes.”
Also Dk: I watch the first episode of Spy X Family. It was pretty mid.
Excuse me what?
"So you have chosen... death."
Spy x Family can literally be turned into a Dark Heresy RP and you cannot convince me otherwise.
Loid is an inquisitorial agent who uses polymorphine to infiltrate stuff, Yor is a death cult assassin (look at the official models and tell me otherwise), Anya is a rogue latent psyker who Loid picked up as an asset, the Eden school is the Schola Progenium, Damian's dad is a corrupt/possibly seditious planetary governor, and Yuri is a commissar in the governor's PDF.
"Anya doesn't like this"
"at least it's not COVID" _gets blown to bits immediately_
25:50 They’re put in a small room with screaming people strapped to the walls, a strobe light, and screamo blasting at full volume for a couple hours!
I'm really glad Kirioth has joined as a third member of the podcast. The three of you make for great chemistry, I hope he stays a permanent member.
4th*... -_-
*angry shy noises*
@@funnyman4311 I mean she’s welcome to speak up at any time. I’m sure she would be a welcome voice on the podcast.
@@hardcorespawn9954 That’s funny, I only ever heard two people on this podcast. Whoever this supposed 3rd person is, they really need to speak up.
@@CdrChaos she is mute lol
I figured that the knights were mind broken and just said "fuck it" like a person going postal from the contradiction of honour in 40k
I have a homebrew character knight pilot who house fell to slaanesh. She had go flee from her home or be corrupted, and she later found my homebrew space marine chapter the Angels Redeemed. She now acts as a freeblade for them.
my homebrew house was actually renegade not chaos. but slowly collapsed in on itself because they were so obsessed with repelling the imperium they ignored all the knights falling to chaos
@@ivybennett2274 i imagine a dreadblade obsessed with killing as many grey knights and inquisitorial troops that he can.
Speaking of Knights, I would really recommend people read Kingmaker, or listen to is. Great book about Imperial knights and the Officio Assassinorum.
18:20 This also happened in one of the dark imperium books with Guilliman when the book shifts to the view of a preceptor of a warlord titan. He has to fight the titans will to go full tilt into combat and force it to maintain the formation. I imagine all titan-class warsuits are similar to a degree where the warsuit has a will of it's own.
Oh yeah they do cause with titans and to a lesser extension knights have an a INTELLIGENT machine spirit with a ACTUAL personality so most pilots have to wrestle with the machine spirit for control. How they got away with allowing the titans to have actual a.i I don’t know probably because they are so powerful
@@riven5677 They don't have intelligence. An intelligent machine is heresy. This is why they require a human precept at all instead of being fully autonomous. What it DOES have is a will and wants. It it a war machine, and so what it wants is to do exactly what it was meant to: destroy everything in it's path. The precept is the Ego to the machines Id, making logical decisions and suppressing the machines spirits base desires.
Knights work similarly, but the ancestral spirits function as a moderator to give the knight and it's precept a sense of duty and honor so that it's less of a wrestling match of wills and more of a mutual experience. Consequently of course when those ancestral spirits go mad or are replaced with demons, it drives both the pilot and the knight insane...
@@dovakiin296 oh right my bad I thought that the big titans like the warlord and imperator machine spirit was actually intelligent maybe to the equivalent of a child but still intelligent
Or maybe I was thinking of the castigator titan
@@riven5677 I wouldn't know for sure, only that it would be incredibly heretical and hypocritical of the mechanicus to use Titans if they had any capacity to think for themselves...
Im really glad that Kirioth is now a part of the podcast
Chaos knights: Helo do you have a moment to hear about the religion of the chaos gods ?
Normal knight: ummmm no?
40:00 now i cant unsee a chaos knight doing the bully maguire spiderman dance after turning an orphanage to rubble.😂
Fun little note when you ever talk about Emperor's Children and Fabius Bile. Fabius Bill team up with the Dark Eldar once to build a tower made out of flesh that was alive and is still alive
I was hoping for a bit more on the Houses but I guess another episode down the line.
2 stand out to me.
1) House Korvax being spirited away House Raven Knights who can now move through shadows, cus the Knight Rampager on the other side of the building wasn't scary already now it's just gonna go through the building like it wasn't even there. Which leads to an amazing head canon of how that happens of just shadows coalescing onto the side of the building so that the stain becomes thick and out looms this tar dripping Knight face followed by it slowly reaching out with it's claw as it lopes out of the wall just absolutely dripping this inky darkness off of it, this awful wet sucking sound assaulting your ears as the shadow slowly sloths off of its panels, before it goes to absolute town on anything unfortunate enough to be on the other side of that wall.
2) House Khymere, who were staunch loyalists during the Heresy era but got chased into the Eye but the Imperium all the while Imperium screaming "Heretic, foul demon spawn, etc etc etc". Khymere, very confused, ran into the Eye trying to show their innocence and get some Tzeentch level fuckery happen to them meaning they spent centuries, millennia even, stuck in the Warp being casually Daemon tortured. The Warp then spits the gibbering insane wrecks of this once proud House back into realspace IN THEIR OWN PAST so they start rip and tearing Imperial forces which starts the whole Khymere witch hunt off in the first place. Tzeentch was definitely on the ball that day in some capacity, I'm sure if he understood the concept he'd've be pissing himself with laughter.
The second one was such a chess move by tzeench.
*Chaos knight dentist literally ripping me in half: your bleeding because you don't floss
I got into chaos knights recently and I made them where it was like a Trojan horse. orks were piloting the knights and orks were on top of them pretending to attack it. then when the knights got inside the chaos base because the chaos boys didn't want to lose there knights the orks piloting would start blasting
The spirits of the Throne Mechanicum are an advanced version of joycon drift, accumulated over millenia.
If you like Knights I HIGHLY recommend Assassinorum: Kingmaker for some assassins infiltrating a knight world
It's odd that they view themselves so highly considering that they often fight along side actual Titans.
It's not all about size. It's about how many enemies you can crush at the end of the day.
@@myrealname9656 that just makes it even more odd because Titans can literally kill hundreds of thousands or even millions of enemies in a single volley of fire sometimes.
They may be delusional
Yes but a Titan is more like an army in one war machine, a knight is an individual warrior. You don’t consider yourself any less powerful just because an entire army is able to kill more enemies than you can individually. You still have a body count greater than many Space Marines.
"If there's one thing that embodies Chaos it's the notion of 'if I can't have it, no one can.'"
Very unlike the Imperium, who after spending two years failing to conquer a planet that had been minding its own business, decided to hit it with an asteroid.
Imagine a Titanfall game but you play as a Imperial Knight fighting Chaos Knights.
'I paint my minis like the Imperium treats their guardsmen' needs to be on a shirt
I haven’t been a fan of any of Kirioths episodes up until this point because, as a warhammer noob, I have no base knowledge of what he’s talking about and it’s hard to care about something you know nothing about. This episode finally hit the nail and that brief introduction for the chaos knights and how they came to be was all I needed. Much better job this time and I thoroughly enjoyed the episode. Keep up the great work!
20:58 it feels like the first codex was them freshly turned still... the later ones are them falling more inline with their new lives.
Thanks for finally making me loose all my concerns regarding money, I now ordered myself the Knight Tyrant - its going to become the Iron Breacher, Knight allied with my Iron Warriors Warband and dedicated to three things - kick Imperial Fists asses, finding a way to hijack the Phalanx and most importantly - finding a way to steal Dorns blanket from it.
Good name man. do you think you'll make other titans or knights working with the Iron Warriors warband?
if so what names do you have in mind?
@@henrypaleveda7760 Thanks, glad you like it! Well for now its just that one knight - by the way its former name was the Star Breacher, but it got renamed after the pilot allied with the Iron Warriors. But some other names I had in mind were the Storm of Steel, the Ironclad Hoplite (more greek based on the homeworld Olympia), Chimeras Wrath, the Hazard Knight and simply Destroyer.
@@oilmargarita6436 I like that you used the correct infantry name Hoplite, I think the Iron Warriors might just dig one named "Hoplite"
do you have an idea of the role that the knight would play?
@@henrypaleveda7760 Well they are a Warband thats pretty much like: fuck the imperium but also fuck chaos. And fuck Perturabo in particular. They are overall pretty salty and bitter even for Iron Warrior standards. So they aren't heavy on big weaponry since they don't have any demon engines, so that knight is literally their biggest source of firepower. So if they got anything big to destroy or to make a diversion they got to relay on the Breacher.
@@oilmargarita6436 oooh. I take it they run into logistics issues a lot? do they do mercenary work?
Donkey Kong:"Litara's the Conqueror's abs!"
Brick:"That's not cannon!"
Me/what DK should have said next: "She cant be the canons, she's already the abs!"
I don't watch alot of Anime but Spy × Family is a show that takes a while to reach full speed as they don't just dump everything on you in the 1st episode. I think the Dodgeball episode is a good cutting off point for figuring out if the show will be for you or not.
I am quite happy Kirioth is becoming a regular feature, he fits in like an Ork to Dakka!
The ancestral knight spirits are just constantly backseating and trying to take the control away
Always love it when Kiroth drops by. DX sort of just blends into a fancy cape Kiroth is wearing.
47:00 When a word starts with an H followed by a vowel, it's very easy for it to get dropped because it's such a small sound. Herb, Honor, Hour.. they all drop the H.
Man I'm loving all the Kirioth in this podcast. Much love.
from how the pilots are described, i keep seeing gundam Newtypes; sees visions of past ,present and future, communes with friends (more powerful pilots can see into the heads of enemies), their spirits can haunt their machines.
and in Gundam Unicorn the most powerful pilots matched or synchronized with their mecha can manipulate time & reality, Psychically connect with everyone on earth and can freely communicate with spirits from past, present and future, along with watching correlating events throughout history.
*Slaanesh knigts appear*
Everyone on the imperium: I hope that what's dragging on the floor its a whip...
"Someone asks a quote and your worried that I won't get the faction right? You don't seem to get it DK, I am the one who picks the faction!"
Bricky, probably
Adding to the orange dance knight, chug jug in the background
I recently finished assassinorum kingmaker and its such a good look at knight society and their fall to chaos. Plus the assassins have really distinct personalities that have really nice banter
Love the episode and Chaos Knights are so cool lore wise. I love their ascetic and horror aspect
"Skeleton in the Brickwork" is fantastic band name.
I still come back to this episode for the quote and fantastic banter straight afterwards.
She’s just a little Shy. Tiny cherubic, teeny wings flappin. Just a little Shy.
Dentist chaos knights... Someone should build and paint one of those. And then let it fight a rival ork Gargant (named: WAGH Machin ownd by MaD DoK Teef FIxA)
The sandblasted knight actually looks kinda dope as maybe like a nurgle related thing.
Idk… seeing that image i had Karen the Betrayer running through my brain… even though she is more scary than any karen in existence. Love you guys keep up the awesome work, and more Kirioth is always good!
>conqueror's abs
Speaking of merging with vehicles
Flayed ones trying to fit foam gloves with “#1 best knight” written on it
Kirioth seriously!! You under sold 'House Devine' the bonfire was a Imperator Class Titan!!!!
"Vengeful Spirit" Book Club!!!!!!
5:25 haha I live also in England in house covered in windows positioned to let in maximum sunlight so it gets like an oven in the summer, imagine my pain if you will
This is probably a bad idea, but this episode solidified my choice to make chaos knights my crusade force
Man I love listening to this in my sleep. I woke up half asleep and misheard kirioth for luten
Could you do a video on the adeptus arbites. The only people with the authority to kill an inquisitor if they act up on there planet
Shy can you get the dumdums shock collars please? They're so distractable when they have a friend over.
59:58 watching this while painting sisters. couldnt agree more
43:30 I'm on
17:28 IF no one here does a comic of Kronk the Renegade Knight, *There will be exterminatus to be had.*
39:32 "it got a bit Lannisters" I love how the Lannisters became the poster child of fictional incest from just Cersei and Jaime alone while the Targaryen, a family that is elbow deep in incest and inbreeding, is right there.
I think the pilots probably get off on making their ancestors suffer .... less of a" he's in there with them" more of a" no you're in here with me" lol
23:57 "Yeah let's throw sand at children's eyes."
That sounds like what a Corrupted Imperial Fist would do. Pocket sand.
i liked the idea for slaanesh knights can have a subjugator titan machine spirit put inside of them spectacular results for both the knight and the victims that have to face it
Me explaining chaos knights to my partner I found it best to quote Brock Samson, "it's like he channels dead crazy people"
Bro making physical posters is good idea, there's a couple I'd definitely buy.
Finally catching up to this episode and hearing the outro Bricky did is hilarious today given I just watched a video of him hanging out with V-tubers
The book Steel Tread has a Chaos Knight in it. Fucking terrifying.
14:00 good example of what can happen with bad peer pressure
"We can all die but it will make the imperium mad so it's cool"
Are French Chaos ?
NGL, the Knight at the front at 38:16 looks awesome. Makes me want to get a Knight kit and paint it a creamy-beigey colour.
And if you get that, congratulations on being old.
29:35 Being eaten by your ancestors at Thanksgiving or Christmas while you're alive berating you after asking questions like so "what have you've done so far?" and proceed to compare you (while still being eaten) to [insert relative here].
Imagine you die with your regiment to a knight and they start default dancing in front of a massive corpse fire, your body among the corpses.
Knight-Abominant is my favorite, potentially with Pyrothrone or Quicksilver Throne. What I understand about the lore of House Khomentis is cool; Chaos Knight equivalent of the Gal Vorbak in that they seek symbiotic possession, but because they're not Marines, they're ultimately doomed to die hosting the Neverborn, and new aspirants must take their place.
"Your ancestors making you feel more hated and shamed." That's just Thanksgiving dinner
Re: old pilot voices, yall gotta read Titanicus!
Your next classy poster should be a sexy knight. Not because I want it, but because I know it would sell.
The Chaos Knight with a fanclub of flayed ones made my day.
Jfc, the picture of that guy blowing fog overtop Silent Hill 2 killed me
