Majorkill is the kind of guy who would willingly travel to the warp without any navigator or gellar field to lecture the chaos gods about 40k lore
Majorkill would be the kind of guy that would fuck the brain out of Slaanesh and say that fucking it was mid
He already lives in the upside down warp so yea he's half way there already
Titsnitch sitting there like "okay...I didn't even know that "
While saying "tits" a bunch of times.
@@valorie1559 I was gonna say "to lecture tit snitch about 40k lore" but like ehhhhhh
I want a Shadowkeepers book where Trazynn tries pulling an Ocean's Eleven heist on something in the dark cells. It's a win-win; we'd get the spotlight on the shadowy boys, and we'd get more Trazynn.
Dark cells are made to keep some of scariest and most exotic things under a key. I believe that Trazyn would actually be bit worried that keepers would play uno reverse card and he would get himself in one of those cells.
@drarsen33 tbh that would add another level of suspense to the plot which would make it that much better
Lol true maybe the final part of the story is Trazynn realising he has fallen into a trap and needs to escape fast, having to ditch some of his priceless relics he brought along to do so
Act 1: Trazyn hears about something interesting in the vaults and starts collecting a group of interesting characters to form a team.
Eldrad: "Tarzyn, your entire race is the reason we are in this mess. Why should I join your crew?"
Tarzyn: "To troll the humans."
Eldrad: *sighs* "... I've got nothing better to do, I'm in!"
Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka: "Skellieboi, ya git, oim in!"
Creed: "Tarzyn!? I would tell your rotten necrodermIs carcass to leave me alone this Instant ... *chews on stoagie* ... if the knowledge you would be completely lost without me did not stroke my ego! You son of a dying race, I'm in!"
The Silent king: "..."
Act 2: Tarzyn plans the heist, gets into some trouble but manages to get everything ready.
Act 3: Tarzyn and hus team get into thr vaults by disguusing themselves as the adeptes jantories. However, the are ambushed by the wardens and caputred into an elaborate trap.
Warden: "We knew you were comming!"
Tarzyn: "I knew you knew we were comming!"
Warden: "We knew you knew we knew you were comming!"
Tarzyn: I knew you knew I knew you knew we were comming!"
*Two hours of back and forth later*
Warden: "... and we knew that you knew that the emperor's earlobe was the key to unlocking this vault ... ALL ALONG!"
Tarzyn: *Slow claps* "Indeed, you are right! But I've still won!"
Wardens: *collective gasp*
Tarzyn: You see, while I was distracting you with this back and forth, Ghazghkull used the power of his Waaaagh field to distort the space time around us so that creed could use the ash of his stoagies to create moulds of every single part of this trap and create a blueprint!"
Wardens: *Audible gasp*
Tarzyn: "And while the silent king was silently judging you, Eldrad was creating a webway portal. Which we will now use to skedaddle, ta-ta!"
Warden: *As Tarzyn and his crew step through the portal* "You were after the trap all along!?"
Tarzyn: "No, that was just s red herring, the true objective was ... the friends we made along the way! But we've got to jet, tell Roboute I said hi!" *steps through portal*
*Roundabout by Yes starts playing*
Wardens: *Audible sigh of relief*
Warden trainee Dubbo: "Strewth, that's a bit of luck, for a moment I thought tall poppy over there was after the 11th primarch we've got locked up over 'ere!"
Tarzyn: *Pops head back through portal* "The 11th what now?"
Wardens: *General state of panic*
TO BE CONTINUED
I feel like the Dark Cells are something GW put in so they'd always have it in their back pocket to pull cool things out of so they can move the plot or up the stakes without having to explain where the thing was for the last 10-40k years.
Sadly, that is probably true. I would like to see a story where there is some eldritch horror the Shadowkeepers need to capture.
Majorkill forgot the most important facet of the Lockwarden: Being the quiet friend who listens to and gives advice to a broken-hearted Captain-General still not over his Tau ex-girlfriend.
Love is a strange thing, my dude😎
NOT FUCKING CANON!!!!!
The lore custodes are so powerful in comparison the those Ingame, I think it would be hillarious for 2000 point army to be 2 custodians and a shield captain
I think the shield captain alone would be enough to take on any army
Well its impossible to balance that
It's also not true.
At least in regard to one Shield Captain being an army.
@@andrewblock5339 A custodian is a one man army in the lore. That is a fact.
Video Idea:
Go over the battle of Calth between the Ultramarines and the Word Bearers. That would be great
It would just be the Wordbearers getting clapped by Papa Roboute but with an Aus accent.
@@spookymaddy2599 nothing wrong with that. Fuck the Word Nerds.
@@Mathewsbrooks amen. Corvus Corax approved.
@@spookymaddy2599 which is the perfect video
On paper the Word Bearers are my favorite. Master sorcerers of all 4 chaos gods. Lorgar being a paraplegic and secretly meditating in an ivory tower of doom for 10,000 years is low key my favorite idea in the universe. They don’t get much love. Also that painting of Lorgar’s head in space crying cosmic tears is really thought provoking as the same reason for his crying is what sent him to lead his brothers into chaos.
The Shadowkeepers sure enjoy their enthusiastic walks deep within the Imperial Palace.

I think the shadow keepers keep all the homebrew chapters and original characters that every warhammer player made up over the years in these dark cells under the imperial palace.
shhh...
He knows too much.
Not only that but every fan made female elder and tau character who has a questionable lack of clothing
I'm willing to bet the 11th Primarch Is in a dark cell on Terra, but what do you guys think?
Fucking totally
I could see that.
The Custard Bois and Mechanicus commonly refer to the Primarchs by their number when not addressing them face to face so the chances are decently high that they do have the 11th Primarch.
“Can i come out now?”
“No”
“How bout now?”
“Just afew more eons”
apparently one of the cells down there had the number 11 over it. and it was also empty.
Please do the other shield hosts. Need more custodes lore!
I agree! Dread Host next!
So they Secure ancient horrors, Contain them beneath the imperial palace and Protect the holding cells ? Plus they have mobile task forces ? Wonder where Big E got the idea.
He probably found an old surviving video of ghostbusters
They die in the dark. So we live in the light.
You should make a video about the imperial navy. Arguably the most important military arm of the imperium. After all they are responsible for almost all interplanetary trade and troop movement.
Anyways love your stuff man
This
This
That
Yes.
I can just imagine Deadpool being consigned to the Dark Cells. After all, if he was let loose, he’d keep telling everyone he meets that the universe they live in is just a cool bit of Lore that a game was based on. Even Tzeentch would have a difficult time coming to terms with that revelation. 😂
Hey babe, new Majorkill just dropped.
We NEED a reveal about one of the lost primarchs in the dark cells. Maybe they are super corrupted, extremely close to death, like the emperor, or something. PLEASE GW, give us an another primarch!
its where the emperors porn stash/internet history is kept
GW should leave the hidden primarchs for homebrew custom legions and chapters. That's always been what they are for and personally I think it's better that way.
@@MachineCode0 Understandable.
The Lion will come back next edition.
@@MachineCode0 i keep seeing that, but what stops anyone from doing a homebrew legion anyways? and is the homebrew custom primarch community really big enough to just sideline the entire possibility, with possibly super cool and impactful lore implications?
As cool as they are, dread hosts still my favorite. The idea that attacks in the sol system have been stopped in their tracks because the invaders remembered the dread host was a thing, the sheer horror of what they'd do to them if they got anywhere near Pluto, let alone Terra causing them to abandon their plan is way too awesome for me.
Next video idea:
If one of the Chaos Gods decides to somehow join forces with the Imperium against the other Chaos Gods, who would it be, why and how would it affect the current setting?
They do it regularly, just not always intentionally.
I would actually love to see theories on that my personal bet is on tzeentch since it seems like some epic scheme he would pull and all the knowledge and technology the imperium uses feeds him anyways while he boost the alpha plus psykers he'd be like one of the only one of the four that could co exist with the imperium in that right
If not tzeentch the khorne because he loves how they fight
Malice, the Renegade God of Chaos
I would consider it more likely for minor Chaos gods to do so, though I guess that is already sort of accounted for by the Primarchs (if Majorkill is right) and the other Imperium-aligned warp entities (e.g. the Legion of the Damned, the Living Saints, etc.).
The Emperor himself could be considered to be warp god bound to a (decrepit) physical body as well.
If you're talking about just the big 4, I could only think Tzeench would choose to do so, and even then it would almost certainly be a trick designed to bite the Imperium in the ass later on. A genuine alliance from one of the Big 4 is probably impossible as far as we know.
A lesser Chaos god approaching the Imperium now would probably be for their own plan, probably to turn that big 4 into a big 5 or just overthrow one of the existing gods somehow. Having an odd number of Chaos Gods would be interesting since the Chaos gods are in sort of pairs that might keep balance (brains and brawn being powerful traits for a warrior, then temptation and decay powerful ways to ruin people).
Having an odd one out without an "opposite" could mean that new god could tip the balance of the endless wars.
I think there was something going on with a new minor god of technology or something? It could be interesting to see an interaction between them and Perturabo, who could be tempted by the gifts of a tech god if those gifts somehow outmatch what he can already make, though I don't know if that's possible.
Khorne if the Big E promised him an eternal war at the edge of real space imperium wouldn’t even have to change that much just less small scale battles and instead have one continuous one
Slaanesh if he promised to make a galaxy wide commoragh not sure what else would bribe them and it definitely seems like a worst case scenario
Tzeentch probably already considered something similar but he loves the game more than anyone
Might get Nurgle on your side if Big E threatened to take a bath after 10,000 years of golden man musk disappearing
But I don’t think any would keep to there end of the bargain it’s just in there nature to always want more
With the amount of forbidden weapons between custodes, dark angels, grey knights, blood ravens, votann and mechanicus, the necrons might actually face a challenge during the end times.
Let’s just say there are enough forbidden weapons in the imperium that they could arm all the guardsman regiment and space marine chaper
So, they are testing custodes blinking skills by putting them with SCP-173 for entire day? Sounds fair
"Return the slab or suffer my curse" -a Shadow keeper being nice
I'm just imagining them doing inventory, "Cthulhu, check. Dagon, check. BFG, check. Portal gun, check."
So interesting topic to cover: what happened to the known Primarch remains after they died. Even dead a Primarch corpse would be incalculably valuable, ask Famous Bile, so ya gotta wonder where they ended up.
Dude majorkill please make videos about the other Shield Hosts. Such a good idea and the Custodes are always so interesting
TTS Lockwarden is what comes to mind when lockwardens are being talked about. My dude 😎
That image of the shadow keeper with the purple shoulder pads was one of the coolest paint schemes I’ve ever seen!
Imagine how they classify the containment level of each anomaly down there

Halo - Keter

Vid on underrated chaos warbands would be nice ngl
8:50
That's gotta be weird for the daemons, every once in a while the mortals(?) imprisoning you send in some guy that just stares at you without blinking for 24 straight hours and nothing you say or do seems to work at corrupting them
One of the lost primarchs was purged but the other one just "forgotten"
Maybe he's locked up down there for some unknown reason...
My headcannon is that he is a blank. A primarch tier blank could make even the emperor wince
Anything remotely similar to the SCP Foundation gives me wonderful pants feeling.
One of the other spooky pieces of Technology the Custodes had down in the basement was Trajann's Moment Shackle. A little piece of Dark Age of Technology hardware that basically works like the Prince's Dagger of Time from Prince of Persia.
It traps and sucks in fragments of temporal energy, and can be activated to redo or undo events in time for brief moments, even slowing down and speeding up time in a localized area, or even reject split second events from ever having happened. That diplomat got a bolter round to the head, didn't happen actually. That greater daemon of khorne dodged that power axe swing, nah it landed square in his neck actually.
What the fuck. In-universe retcon device
I would love to learn more about the Hetaeron Guard, they sound badass
Lockwarden: "We are here for you Captain-General.....Love is a strange thing my dude."😎
Please make a video about the Dread Host. The most murdery of all the Custodes. Would be awesome.
one of the things locked up ijn the dark cells: the only existing photo of nurgle after taking a shower. locked up because it could actually defeat chaos in an instant but the emperor wants to give them a fair fight.
Would love a full rundown of all the shield hosts
Ollanus: Stabs the Manperor of Mankind
Manperor: Dude… uncool.
This video was very well produced. I could tell you were genuinely passionate about this topic. Well done
Gettins some SCP vibes. The possibilities about what kind of artifacts and creatures the prison hold are endless.
Nice to see the soldiers in the scp foundation get an upgrade.
I'm picturing a fun little hang out session between the Emperor and Trazyn just geeking out about who has the coolest collection of stuff.
I’m almost finished with the HH and would absolutely enjoy a video on Maggard. The indentured bodyguard of Horus’s remembrancer who fought off dozens of Nurgle’s family so bravely that good Horus commended him and eventually recruited in book 2 & 3.
Okay I just found out he would have killed a Veteran Horus Son’s captain and would have succeeded if one of the remembrancers didn’t shoot him. Not to mention Horus honored him with the medical transition to become a space marine and this is how he was able to go toe-to-toe with the captain. Truly a gem that I would love to hear Majorkill talk about.
Yes please do videos for the other shield hosts, particularly Dreadhost and Solar Watch, both of those also have fascinating lore and duties.
Now I want a Warhammer game where you play as one of these guys just looking for one of the lost artifacts cutting down chaos space marines like fodder
"Love is a strange thing dude"
-The Lockwarden 😎
They need to do more lore on the things in those cells. Imagine if the other primarch that wasn't killed is down there or even Erda the primarchs mother.
The Shadow Keepers do, in fact, have both the best lore AND the sickest color scheme.
The fact that they share that scheme with my favorite American football team doesn't hurt.
This is very nice and wish you a great day
So, the Big E has SCP facility in his basement.

Grey Knights- "We fight the horrors in the dark so you may sleep sounder at night"
Shadow Keepers- "That's cute."
Be careful what you wish for MajorKill. I'm getting strong Time War (Doctor Who) vibes from the contents of the Dark Cells and living up to the hype in your head will be a huge challenge for any writer.
The Could've Been King and the Army of Meanwhiles and Neverweres, The Orphaned Hour, The Psilent Songbox, The Neverwhen Flux. All of them evoke huge ideas. But as soon as they're pinned down, no matter how powerful and awesome they are, they still feel a bit underwhelming. 😉
Custodies are awesome. I just wish they were written as demigods of all the time
Well demigods are the primarchs. The custodes are something in between a space marine and a primarch
@@theplayerofus319 a single custodes are priced to worlds. like the custodes are the big E's children and he literally does not give a single fuck on some primarchs
still salty how some harlequins were able to killed multiple custodes
@@DionMango I've seen people say that it mightve been a misunderstanding and the harlequins actually killed Lucifer blacks, not custodes. They are both elite protectors of the imperial palace but one is only human
@@theplayerofus319 idk in lore custodes have beaten primarchs
@@DionMango i mean i think a solitaire or troupe master could definitely do it but i don't think that a few base harlequins should be able to do something like that. I'm an staut eldar fan but even that was pretty egregious. Even if its one of the only time eldar ever get respected
I want a rts game around the unification wars.
Like the first campaign is played as the emperor and after you can play against him as the other warlords
What if the 'Subject 11' _is_ the 11th Primarch but he works with the Shadowkeepers and he just chills down there ao
The Shadowkeepers have always been my favourite of the Custodes Shield Hosts and I'll definitley be playing my Custodes army as them on tabletop.
Rumor has it the Dark Cells contain the last truly original joke in existence and that should it get out it would cause people's heads to explode with the shear unbridled funny.
Thank you for doing some Shadowkeepers lore! I did my Custodes as them! They are my favourite Shield Host.
I just realized that the period when Humanity was at its height was the period when it wasn't led by the Emperor.
Trajan is a badass name, and my favorite Emperor.
You'd figure guarding just dangerous shit might call for more than 100 guys.
The shadowkeepers are basically the imperium's version of the SCP foundation.
Who's bright
@@michaelrosenstock9187 he could be anyone thanks to the specific nature of Bright's immortality.
I was looking for this comparison lol
LoL the shadow keepers are the SCP foundation in 40k. 😂
I've been painting mine up as aquilan shield. Would like an aussie rundown of their lore
Would love to see a 40K battle with just normal Imperial Guard or some mediocre Astartes chapter...but a random model has 4 Aquilain Shield fielded with him! 😅
This reminds me of a Doc Savage plot, when the villain managed to discover Doc's Fortress of Solitude (predating Superman's fortress) and after considerable effort infiltrated it while Doc was back in New York, finding various pieces of research he was doing, as well as Mad Science weapons recovered from various villains the crew fought, and using them for his own nefarious purposes...
This all furthers my headcanon that Doc Savage is, in fact, one of the Lost Primarchs. It even fits thematically!
"Men of Gold"
"Men of Iron"
"Men of Stone"
The Emperor's infatuation with Gold as a color scheme, and what is Doc Savage called?
"The Man of Bronze" as well as being intellectually and physically without peer in Dent's stories.
Love Doc Savage!
The thing they also protect is kitten crying in one of those cells after his breakup
The name of their leader is badass enough on its own.
“Lockwarden”
It’s so simple yet so badass. This is the Warden of the Locks you never want unsealed, the man whose job it is to hold the keys to the very gates of hell itself.
i joined the $5 patron since you have given me alot of laughs and quick bite sized lore that has gotten me into the franchies
So basically, there's a whole SCP Foundation site underneath the Imperial Palace. Huh
This is my favorite video yet I've been looking for this for a long time! Great job love it!
You should make a Custodes Dread Host video! I know you’ve got a video detailing all of them but it would be cool to see one dedicated to deep diving the Dread Host.
We actually get a bit of a dive into the dark cells in the book Cypher lord of the fallen in which he is captured but then escapes and has to avoid both a Shadowkeeper and lovecraftian horrors and the unforgivrn hunting him to make him REPENT
You also get a sick pair of shades for joining my dudes. 😎
There boys are by absolute favourite. I’ve been waiting on my local store to restock so I can start a force led by a Blade Champion. Awesome to see a video about them from yah!
It’s a shame we don’t get more custodes models, I’d love to see an official Lockwarden. Meanwhile GW makes another primaris space marine captain, because we clearly need more of that.
Personally i kind of like how most of the stuff inside the vaults is kept hidden from us, it builds the mystery nicely.
Yes more custodes content!!
Also, a video on the armor of fate mayhaps?
I LOVE shadowkeeper armor. Shadowkeeper and aquilan are my absolute favorite armor scheme and loadout. The black and gold is sick and I love the gems and occasional purple they subtly throw in. These dudes are some of my favorite and their armor looks better than even most of the primarchs. Love the video and love the topic
Shadowkeepers, only characters who see a trip to Eye of terror as a chill vacation
Shadow keepers are pokemon masters just that their pokemon are extra spicy forbidden eldrith horrors.
More Custodes simpery...I'm here for it.
Imagine the big E psychically enters one of these guy’s dreams, and is all like time to activate protocol 11. That would be a badass way for us to get the 11th primarch.
We still need a video on how the other primarchs other than Guilliman would of reacted to the imperium upon returning first, we have been trying for so long majorkill , please , we need this
If primarch 11 is being kept there, wouldn't it also make sense for primarch 2 to be kept there aswell? Or really anything 'lost' relating to the primarchs, it's not that hard to imagine a shard of Magnus being kept there.
Shadow Keeper recruits? As in Custodian Wardens? Aren't those like very limited? What happens when a recruit fails?
Failed recruit: "Awwww, guess I will go back to guarding the throne."
Custodes content is the best. You can't go wrong covering the golden boys.
Oohh yeah keep the custodes lore coming Major
Hey Major! This video about the SCP Foundation if they were all golden/black gigachads! BTW,
What do you think of a video about Abbadon and how he compares with Archaeon?
5:05 that dude is rocking a stone cold custom title belt.
Majorkill would be the kind of guy slannesh would offer to screw no trick, no scheme, and majorkill would reject
You know Trazyn is just licking his fleshless jaws thinking about all the juice the emperor has hidden away. Just waiting for that moment to sneaky snatch.
I hope we get a video on the Eldar Gods one day
You know Magus makes more sense when you realize the big E did a lot of the same things when conquering Tera.
