but i mean warhammer fantasy was already doing that. high elves felt super powerful but limited by their island isolation and infighting with dark elves. wood elves were powerful and in tune with weird forest beasts but were so dogmatic that they really got the ire of most other factions around them and kept to themselves. the lizardmen fared great against chaos but struggled against more conventional militaries. even chaos itself always was infighting between the chaos gods, especially if chaos was doing well, and was rarely completely unified until the end times. most factions felt as if they had potential but due to other factions threat and internal infighting could never really go as far to dominate the setting. AOS just kind of repeated that. now i think certain parts of AOS are cool but to me it seems a lot of this already existed in fantasy.

I think this vibe was why the End Times felt so forced, Chaos could only hold a few fortresses in the far north and south then suddenly they rule the world.

I like how the Age of Chaos starts because Chaos, united, win the big fight but, lost momentum and focus, it start infighting immediately, allowing for all the other factions to survive despite their inferior numbers. Fyreslayers, Sylvaneth, Kharadron, Lumineth, Orks and goblins... they all pulled it off because Chaos lost unity, even leaving itself vulnerable for Sigmar glorious counterattack. Indeed, Sigmar and the Azyrite factions risk to give Chaos a new, shiny giant target to unite against and fight as one.

In western Europe during the dark ages (500-1000) people did not have last names. They might have patronymics (the son of Sven is Svenson) instead and kings often had suffixes (Charles the Fat) but many people just a given name. Around 900 this began to change, starting with the nobility and eventually moving down the social classes over the latter half of the middle ages. Some lower class names were formalized Patronymics (John has a son called Mark, Mark Johnson has a son named Robert who keeps Johnson and runs with his dad's patronymic, as do his Robert Johnson's descendants). Others are tied with their location they lived in (Alice of Cornwall becomes Alice Cornwall). And others are tied to profession. These were usually tied to families anyway so it's an easy jump to make. The most obvious of these are Carpenter, Smith, Weaver, Miller, etc. But there are others which have since fallen into obscurity. A Farrier for example is someone who makes horseshoes and tends to a horse's feet, a Cooper makes barrels and a Fuller is someone who stamps on cloth with their feet on cloth that is immersed in a tub of urine for a living.

It's funny you mentioned that, since I myself have been dreaming up an alternate ending to the Old World where MOST of the gods survived. And that because of their combined might, they nearly defeated chaos. But then that ugly necromancer (I forgot his name) did his thing, and the old world still blew up. With one group staying close to the remains of the old earth, thus allowing Sigmar to find them. And the others he couldn't find being presumed dead. But in truth, they escaped too, and have also presumed the other group has perished. So now Sigmar has got his own pantheon going on, while Ulric has got his own pantheon as well. His pantheon composed of some old gods like Myrmidion, Morr, Ursun, etc. And even some newly ascended beings such as miao ying, teclis ( in this alternate reality teclis and tyrrion got seperated), thorgrim, settra etc. Where would they be located? Why in the neighboring planetary system of course! How did they get there? Using one of the lizardmen's flying pyrramids, and opening a warp rift, they escaped ( now being the first people to use the warp to travel through space) into this new and uncharted system. How did they find it in the first place? They found some remaining artifacts about the Old Ones and the other worlds they visited, and thus found their golden ticket off the exploding Earth. Now I know this isn't sci fi, but this is the best thing I could come up with as of now. Feel free to correct me on anything.

I mean, not for nothing, but Heresy is kind of a nothing issue unless Chaos is involved. Most uprisings are handled by the local PDF or the Guard depending on how severe the threat is (The first Cain book is about an uprising about to start because of friendly relationships with the Tau, yeah it turns out there was a bigger conspiracy at hand, but on the surface it was an ordinary potential rebellion.) I imagine the same is true with Heretical cults. Most of the time, the local ecclesiarchy finds out about the issue and the planetary governor sends in the PDF, or the cult still praises the Emperor so they let it slide so long as it isn't disruptive. If Chaos pops up though, yeah, the Ordos are going to be looking into even a hint of that, because it can escalate out of control very quickly where someone believing in the idea of the Star Child vs standard Dogma isn't really going to warrant wasting an inquisitors time. They deal with the big problems, not the small fry.

The Slaves To Darkness abbreviate into STD, which is extremely unfortunate even though the name itself dates back to 3rd edition Fantasy/1st edition 40k back in the late 80s.

Your mention of the traitor primarchs turning because of the webway project mystery reminded me of an argument I had once.

I was like, "dude, he gave horus the greatest honor anyone in the imperium had ever received by making him the warmaster. He trusted him to appreciate the honor for what it was, a recognition of horus' abilities and achievements! It is not the emperors fault that he had 9 kids who were such bitter CHILDREN that they couldn't handle daddy going back to the house and trusting them to run the business for a few years while he restored his sweet new ride.". For some reason, that point made him even more angry. I thought it was pretty clever

The worst part is that Horus pretty well did understand that and even states that he pretty well knows that the Emperor is working on something related to mastering the Warp. The reason he turns to Chaos is because he gets stabbed by the anti-Horus knife, then gets visions of 40K in the warp where the Loyalists are revered and he is nowhere to be seen. Even when he acknowledges that this vision is a load of BS to Magnus he still gives in to chaos for reasons. His turn is so weird because in the book, he clearly knows that he is being told bullshit, and seems pretty chill and logical about the whole thing, but when he wakes up he becomes a raging asshole for no reason and is willing to betray the imperium for no reason so far as I can tell. He gives reasons, but since he flat out rejected those reasons earlier the whole thing comes across as profoundly stupid.

Im going to say it, Zargothrax is a more succesfull chaos wizard than Magnus will ever be, i dont see any undead unicorns among the Thousand Sons

Zargothrax is also capable of independent time travel, can summon legions of demons with ease, and doesn't wallow in self pity.

Zargothrax wins as a supervillain because he has no fear, no scruples, and no restraint. Magnus wishes he had the balls to destroy the entire galaxy just to get back at his nemesis

The mini-rant in the middle about the tribulations of the genetic lottery and how the new kids don't love the PAIN like they used to was amazing. It's things like these that make the pain of life not only bearable but hillarious. 😁

What kills me about chaos is how inflexible they've become in their evil. I know that sounds like an odd complaint but I'm still one of those people who like to remind others how there's positives to each chaos gods and cry and cry and cry

I mean it is canon that many cultures worship the chaos gods unknowingly, ya just need to get a little creative with them Slaves to Darkness Army concept: A Order of Knights that worship the four Great Ones: Khrox, lord of Honour Courage and Battle, Slarh, Goddess of emotions, Norg master of life & death and Tzeer God of Cunning and Hope They protect the citizens and their empire, prioritizing kindness and loyalty. Admirable traits in any faction even though they indirectly feed Evil Gods, empower them and grant them a foothold in their realm. Gives an air of tragedy to otherwise 100% heroic faction that is pretty unique imo AoS is extremely flexible with homebrewing "your dudes" honestly

I used to think like you, but then i like the edge sometimes.

In WFB I really liked the background for Kurgan and Hung being basicly chaos Huns/Tartars/Mongolians. Too bad they never saw unique models despite being the most numerous cultures following chaos. Seeing hordes of hellish horsemem going Attila on the Empire would have been awesome.

You can tell Pancreas got bodied by a CSM player one time and hasn't let go of that experience since

Well, you're a quarter right 😜

About that bit with 40k chaos inviting themselves over that picture of chaos rising perfectly fits this. Literal story is about chaos inviting themselves over after the bugs got squashed and the magpies weakened.

As a fellow t1 diabetic, your jokes make me laugh every time.

The chorus of The Unicorn Invasion of Dundee by GloryHammer would be perfect for the Slaves to Darkness if not for the name of the song.

Damn though. Master Chief with daddy issues is scary

The intro was nostalgic my man do you remember these days when all we personally had from Primarchs was like two phrases written as remembrances buried in a codex ? IS the BG music age of mythology ? As far as the comparison between chaos worshipers' motivations between 40k and fantasy it's quite reductive, i mean Archaon became Archaon because of... daddy issues... you know... meanwhile Khârn "AM I NOT CHAOTIC ENOUGH FOR YOU".

I just thought about it and literally the only chaos primarchs who did not turn traitor because of daddy issues was Alpharius and Fulgrim. And Fulgrim still has daddy issues

Every single one of these videos is gold. Can't wait for the next one.

>Chaos Marines suck You tell 'em Sonny Jim >Elf simpery This one's goin' into the Book of Grudges

I really dig this channel. Top tier work Mr.Pancreas.

The first step of pancreasnowork’s chaos journey

When’s the Tyrion video? You actually like the elves so I’d like to hear your opinion on his lore and stuff. He seems like a badass to me but everyone says he’s a shitter and idk why.

Slaves to darkness implies that there is an Interns to darkness.

Love your videos Pancreas! Keep up the good work, you've a great voice for narration. Thanks to this video specifically, it got me to convert to a Slaves to Darkness army for AoS. No regrets!

Pancreas, AoS has its own version of Norsca, a frozen wasteland filled with barbarian tribes fighting each other to prove themselves, but Sigmar owns it. Hamilcar Bear-Eater comes from there.

Finally a premiere when i have the day off 🎉

I love hearing you talk about fantasy and aos, especially armies. Once the new cities of sigmar updates come out could you do a video on them?

Next “Do Or Don’t” should be either Dark Elves from WHFB or Vampire Counts/Coast

I grew up in the frozen tundra of northern Canada and lost all the feeling to the tips of my fingers due to frostbite. Therefore I’m also immune to plastic spiky bits, but I’m not exactly going to become a hand model anytime soon.

"Perhaps the winner of this setting might just be the greenist of them all." Wutta drem dat iz...

You deserve the like for the whole vid but the last couple of seconds just made it worth it so much more

I play Slaves to Darkness because I enjoy playing as the good guys

Great outro there, 10/10!

24:38 I felt this on a personal level... The struggle was, is, and will likely be, too real!

Additional tabletop downside, the chaos knights kit is push fit and also covered in spikes. This means it's painful to assemble and also broken up into bizarrely shaped, easily breakable pieces. Just go look at the sprue it's a mess

Don't firget that you can have your Chaos Lord be a evil bug muscle woman and have people simp for her.

Warriors of Chaos/Slaves to Darkness do a good job of making Chaos feel like a cosmic evil. They were actively invading the Old World after having defeated countless others and went right back to doing it until the Age of Sigmar threw another speedbump in their way. Chaos space marines still motivated by their loss 10,000 years ago feels slow and takes away from the terrible power of the Dark Gods. Thousand Sons and Emperor's Children are still fun because so many of them have fully discarded their attachment to humanity and their past to bring ruin to the galaxy.

Hearing Pancreas talk about finger sticks reminded me of an Irish guy who said his favorite day of the week was when his mom took his needles to the hospital for sharpening.

Loving this. I'm brand new to both 40k and your channel and, even with your bias, I think I'm gravitating to chaos. I am watching other channels, but yours is the most fun, and I would love if you did more chaos faction videos. Keep up the good and fun work. Boobs for the boob god!

DUDE! Gloryhammer f**King rules! Going to be my boss music for my d&d campaign. Also, you are a funny guy. You package the lore in an interesting and engaging fashion. Look forward to your content in the future

6:20 LMAO 🤣 you kilt the Chaos Space Marines

The virgin Perterabo vs The Chad Archaon

One more thing for your hurt rant. As an astartes abbadon probably has a cgm reader and pump built in. Also paint drukhari. They’re fiddly elves and spikey enough to show when your fingers heal from the lancet strikes

Thanks for that banger of the song!

Thanks for an absolutely epic song recommendation.

I know full well the pain of assembling chaos models lacerating my fingers. I’ve just come to accept it and pray to Nurgle the scabs form quickly.

Evil for the sake of evil is always so much more fun. Plus it allows the heroes to go full chaotic good and kill, maim and electrocute the baddies with no moral ambiguity.

Honestly, this was a VERY good explanation as to what it's like to use this faction. I am new to warhammer AOS and I am certainly looking at collecting the slaves to darkness. This video has definitely helped make my decision :)

PancreasNoWork is a based Gloryhammer enjoyer as well? This channel keeps getting better I'm glad I stuck around.

Fuck yeah, this is exactly the video I’ve been waiting for 😍

Can you make a do or don’t on tempestus scions? They’re one of my favorite groups in the game because they’re basically warhammer ODSTs

Holy shit a gloryhammer appreciator I have never SMASHED the subscribe button as hard as I just did

The new chaos knights putting those together makes me want to sell my soul to whatever dark powers will assemble them for me. Slaves to darkness you are a snuggle with a struggle

Their line revamp is what singlehandedly got me into AoS

I always dig the bg music in your video.

Lmao the old school diabetic rant was 10/10 good stuff mr pancreas 👍🏼 thank you for the chuckles as always

I had the prick and pen for like 4 years after i was diagnosed (got diagnosed really REALLY late). It's not nearly as long as you suffered, but I know the pain brother.

Looking forward to your Disciples of Tzeentch or Kharadron Overlords, and your next Halo video.

If I ever get into AOS these guys are definitely for me, I like Vikings and Chaos is my favorite thing about Warhammer so these guys are right up my alley

Slaves to Darkness is also a sick Bolt Thrower album

I live your channel… i agree with you sometimes and it cracks me up, and i disagree with you sometimes and it cracks me up… all i know is i drool for your videos 🍻

In WH40K: 1:NOOOOO THE EMPEROR HAVE BETRAYED US 2:SCREW IT, LET GIVE OUR SOUL TO THE DARK GODS In WHF/AOS: 1:Hey, I think the Dark Gods find it goofy when we burn down the children hospital 2:Yes

I have a wonderful Slaves to Darkness army. They are themed as Knights in shining armor. (I removed most the spiky bits and sanded the helmets into nice, smooth versions. Painted with shining metals and royal blue colors. These are the older models.) With a horrifying secret of course! They are still Slaves to Darkness after all. For this reason, I actually much prefer the older versions of Chaos Warriors. Much easier to build into a uniform Legion of sorts.

I'd like to see what your models look like. Also I've had an idea for a faction for my own setting concept, basically it's an Empire that had been corrupted by demonic lovecraftian horrors for a very long time, because of this this "Dark Empire" has become fully corrupted by evil and now seeks to bring doom and ruin to the entire world in the name of their dark Lord(s). They're basically what you get if the Alliance from World of Warcraft had been corrupted by the Chaos Gods from Warhammer and they are on a dark Crusade to rid the whole of heretics, unbelievers, &and everyone else who opposes them and their dark masters

24:40 I relate to this so hard as someone with kidney failure. Feeling in my arm? What’s that?

can we get some Necron Eldar or Dark eldar lore ? maybe Chaos specific titans ? lore in weapons/blades like emperors sword the eldar blade chrone blade ??? etc ,,

question: will kholek suneater be getting a video since he wasn't mentioned here (im not sure what faction he is counted among but since he was fighting with chaos in the endtimes i imagine he fights alongside these guys im not knowledgable on the setting)

Now I want a great horned rat slaves of darkness faction. Just giant knights in rat themed armor.
