    "The Inquisition did what the Inquisition does best, Escalate!" Their fundamental problem as an organization in a nut shell. Inquisitors always have the tools and authority for escalation, so it is plan A even when they really should try for subtilty or persuasion first. Luckily the galaxy is so awful they normally have a point.

      See that's the hard part, a situation like Vraks could easily be a problem of over escalation, but in the lead up it probably would have been better for the Hereticus to escalate sooner and take out the Cardinal before he got dug in, or once he was deploy an Eversor. It's a careful balance especially when you don't fully know how dire the situation is. The Mechanicus may scream at the loss of a productive mining world supporting a forge world, but a delay could mean loss or corruption of the entire forge world.

      The Grey Knights should have just told the Inquisitor to Fuck off and left. They may be a chamber militant of the Ordo Malleus but they are not the Inquisition's Lap Dogs and are still Space Marines and would be well within their rights to do so, especially to an Inquisitor that isn't even apart of the Ordo Malleus.

    The knights errant are, in my opinion, one of the greatest parts of the Horus heresy novels. Especially considering the fact that nearly half the bastards were loyalist marines from traitor legions. Garviel Loken, Nathaniel Garro, fairly certain the Lotalist world eater turned black shield Endryd Haar (also known as the “Riven Hound”) was a member as well. The stories of the loyalist sons of traitor fathers is both heartbreaking and moving in the extreme and reading of how these marines worked and fought to redeem their legions was a true privilege. If nothing else, the Horus heresy series and the siege of terra books do them honor.

    That’s always been something I never got about the plan to banish chaos... Big E wanted to do it by destroying all religion and worship, all “veneration” of deities that certain elements of human nature are attributed to, but we have seen multiple times that the Chaos gods don’t actually need worship or veneration. They can and do feed off acts and emotions that don’t have any kind spiritual or religious elements to them.
    Also I just find it funny that this entire plan seems to imply Big E(or the people writing Warhammer) think only in religions are things worshiped and venerated. Because let’s be honest, there are a lot of things that we don’t categorize as religions that people pour a lot of “emotions” into.

      @@BlueSatoshi Well put, because of the Universal laws of the Warhammer 40k Universe their will always be Chaos gods and not to mention the fact that there are potentially multiple galaxies outside of Terra’s that contain life, the Tyrannids are undeniable proof of that. Meaning their are potentially an infinite number of chaos gods as such it is not possible to destroy chaos only stave it off. The only thing you could theoretically do would be to force the eye of terror back into the imaterium yes with certain weapons you could permanently kill a chaos god, BUT given the strongest chaos gods are simply the representation of base level emotions another god, with enough time, would be created. Even in theory there will never be nor could be a victory over a basic law of the Universe.

      @lyravain6304 3 года назад +26

      Not exactly Akuinator. The Nekrons had almost no presence (if any) in the Warp in the first place, probably less than the average Tau. And the price they paid was... significant; they lost their souls, their individuality, their sanity, their culture, everything. They are no longer "Necrontyr", just robots with an AI that is so buggy it often begs to just be put out of its misery. Now, you are quite possibly referring to the Necron Pylons in Cadia (NEVER FALLS). But even that... wasn't really what you might think it was. For starters; it only stopped the further opening of the Eye of Terror, they didn't reduce it and, most importantly, they were powerless against daemons. If anything, I think they were not technological so much as they housed a small part of C'tan power. Maybe not in the form of a shard (as they were apparently constructed before the C'tan were shattered), but possibly some form of energy source that they channeled and recycled. So, not wholly technological, but more an arcano-tech that was too unique to be replicated (after all; the Imperium has no one that can stop the Warp outside The Emprah and he... can't do much right now).
      And that's, of course, without counting on the possibility of a technology-based Chaos God appearing. Which again assumes that such an aspect doesn't already fall under Tzeentch's portfolio, in which case, such tech will NEVER be discovered.

    Hello!
    This is my first time stopping in to your channel. Thank you for making this awesome video! I'm an avid Grey Knights fan and I also collect their models and play their faction in the 40k tabletop. I also REALLY like GK lore.
    Unfortunately, I couldn't find a ton of lore videos for the GK. The ones I did fine I've often already seen where they covered the lore very similarly, so it was info I already heard.
    This video contains a lot of new lore that I didn't know about the GK! For example, I've never heard of the Knights Errant precursor faction to the GK.
    Other than the content, I enjoy your narration abilities. You speak very clearly and pleasantly and I enjoy listening to your dialect and accent (I'm an American, so your accent sounds "exotic" and interesting from my perspective! XD).
