The Grey Knights should be the very embodiment of the all that's best about the Astartes ( who are in the words of the Emperor 'the defenders of humanity' ), right down to not allowing Inquisitors to wipe out uncorrupted loyalists, sadly their writing is generally bad because it apparently has to be grimdark ( such as wiping out the sisters for no sensible reason, fighting the Space Wolves because an Inquisitor with questionable authority says so, or killing innocents who 'know too much' ). Much like the Custodes, they were also never conceived in the game as being an Army in their own right, originally they were meant to be a small elite unit to drop on a Greater Deamon/Avatar like a bomb for Imperial forces.

The Emperor's Gift is an excellent read and now on audible for those that prefer audiobooks. It's a slower-burn than other ADB stories. I found the pacing drew me closer to the main characters such that the things they eventually see and do hit harder than the usual bolter-porn action that can be absorbed at a distance. He quite literally places the reader inside the minds of the main characters as much of the dialogue between them is done psychically. So, communication isn't just restricted to words and largely incorporates touches of images, emotions, etc. It's a good book.

I view Grey Knights (which I also play) as an over specialized force meant to deal with a specific threat and nothing else. Their gear is so tailored to deal with demonic forces that to be used in any other setting other than to smash demons to paste makes them look like generic space marines in overly polished war gear. Like a Grey Knight Grand Master could be using a master crafted, finely inscribed, thrice blessed, dipped in the blood of saints, thunder hammer so holy that to even look at it makes demons explode. But against orks, tau, eldar or some human that blinked when he should have ran, its just a lead weight on a stick.

The Grey Knights are essentially just loyalist Thousand Sons. Their gene seed obviously comes from Magnus despite what the lore says, because the Emperor clearly doesn't have gene seed since he's neither a Primarch nor even an Astartes and only Magnus's gene seed has the properties of the Grey Knights, making almost all recipients into psykers. The Grey Knights aren't (or shouldn't be) the best at everything: they're just the best psykers among the Space Marines, with an exclusive focus on fighting Chaos, especially demons, and that's all. If you really like the Thousand Sons but you want to play loyalists then the Grey Knights are your guys. GW / Black Library needs to get somebody on the Grey Knights who knows how to write. They look amazing and just need some better stories about them.

Going off of you mentioning how Grey Knights are the better overall Space Marines, there is a story (I know, writers can be inconsistent with portrayals, as you mentioned) of the Grey Knights getting shit-stomped by the Space Wolves in something called the Months of Shame. It's definitely something to look into if you haven't already and kinda shows that while they are cool, at least in my opinion, they can struggle against other loyalist chapters.

These lads can also be such a tragic bunch. Their recruitment comes from taking members from other chapters and further breaking them down mentally and physically just to remake them into stronger warriors. So you're taking someone that was already broken down and had parts of their personality burned away to make a super soldier and you're doing it again, but more brutally. Poor knights don't even have memories of their childhood, if their lucky they have faint echoes of their past. In the hands of more competent writers we could have some very interesting stories, sadly more often than not the Greryknights feel like either like diet Custodes or jobbers in order to highlight just how strong a daemon ,or daemon prince, is.

The Gray Knights used to be my favorite...when they were a mysterious super-special anti-demon taskforce, basically when the lore actually treated them like an actual secret.

Fists embody the calmness and objectivity I wish to aspire to and the Templars wrestle most directly with the bottomless well of rage that resides in them all.

I love the aesthetic, especially in the artworks since the minis are kinda outdated with those bulimic thigh, and I don't really see them as just another chapter but better. I like how their psychic trait is more oriented towards channeling it through their weird weapons or in a defensive way, while having the classical sorcery represented better in the thousand sons. I'm ok with there being a top secret psychic chapter that excels against daemons and as a result are on average better than other SM. Too bad their lore is all over the place and mostly sucks.

Another case of why trying to powerscale anything in 40k is a futile effort. Each BL and Codex writer is working off their own headcanon on that and GW doesn't care as long as the models sell. Characters are as powerful as the plot needs them to be which gets crazy with the authors that dont understand the meaning of restraint. Which isn't helped by the fact that there are several characters who are essentially immortal so them getting beaten doesn't change anything major. The Avatar of Khaine, Grearer Daemons, Daemon Primarchs and the Tyranid Swarmlord all have enough notable losses to put a sizeable dent in their perceived threat level.

There are a few armies in 40K that really should just be units in other army’s books. Gray Knights are the most egregious examples of that.

Thematically cool but not always interesting on their own, Grey Knights are, however, the catalyst for more than one interesting story centered around another faction, like when the Space Wolves punched them in the face over killing a planet they just fought and bled to defend, or the Fall of Shadowbrink where they fail outright ad get eaten by Tyranids because they were so worried about the Daemon relic they were guarding cracking open, only for the bugs to easily defeat the Daemons and banish them back to the Warp pretty much by accident.

I love the grey knights I think them being "better" then other Astartes comes down to the fact that they are all space wizards with all the positives and negatives that entails I can see in a fucked up way why they can kill greater daemons far easier then normal heretic Astarte's since their gear is designed to hunt Daemons, It makes sense they can crush daemons that normal marines would struggle against but have a far harder time killing normal traitors since they special anti daemon gear is far less effective. I kind of like that since it makes them seem like the specialists they are meant to be rather then just better space marines

A custodes remarks that without them being psykers (since they were fighting alongside Custodes, and therefore Sisters Of Silence), they're JUUUST a bit better than standard Astartes in combat, due to their focus in teamwork, and working together in small groups against hordes is practically their schtick. I doubt they could hold a siege as well as Imperial Fists, do taxes like Ultramarines, or sneak behind you like Raven Guard, though.

Honestly I like the Grey Knights because futuristic super soldiers in knight armour fighting demons with power swords is a really cool aesthetic. The main problem with them is how they were/are handled in the lore with their main character stndrome and such. But still I personally just think having a middle ground between space marines and custodes being neat, partly justified with their niche being nigh uncorruptable psykers whose job it is to fight demons but... I understand other people's disliking of them since the space marines but better part of them does add to the "im specihul" aura around them. Do I have a point or am I just an outlier?

Looking like the deathwatch is the clear choice for the 11th video.

I'm pretty new to 40K so I have a question: could the power scalling inconsistency be because their weapons are specialized for Chaos stuff?

So the Deathwatch are going to be the 11th entry in the successor chapter videos.

As a player that really got into 40k in 5th, Grey knights have for a long time left a sour taste in my mind. Their the sort of army I would never want to own and thats its honestly only within the last few months that Iv gradually started to soften on them. ..that boarding patrol box was actually tempting. A restaurant will be judged by the worst cook in the kitchen, One bad meal and you'll never go back to that restaurant again. 40ks has a big kitchen with a lot of cooks. Ward was, even looking back years later after the hate and the memes have burned down to bitter coals, a pretty bad cook. But that doesn't mean those other cooks didn't put out some amazing dishes. Its been a long while, and that chef that gave everybody on /tg/ diarrhea years ago is gone. It might be time to see what somebody else can do with that recipe.

True

I wasn't ready for a sonicchu jump scare

itd be cool to see a character video on loken. ive seen him mentioned a bunch in your videos

My new canon for the GKs is that Kaldor Draigo is impeccably stupid and insane, and prone to random fits of screaming. "HAVE YOU EVER EATEN... A TANGERINE??!"

First you diss my beloved Space Wolves, and now you diss my beloved Grey Knights tooo???? I hate you... But i like your style and content. I always look forward to your uploads!!!

2nd Legion successor video, 2nd request for the Flesh Tearers once you get up to 9 and the boys in red! Love your stuff!

And sonichu is exactly why exterminatas is not just advised but the reasonable step

i guess the -death guards- deathwatch would be next ?

I love the "Valium til death" voice.

They look cool. The Sonichu point is funny.

Have you ever had a tangerine?

I see that you have a beard.

The one thing I really dislike about them is the "remove those who shouldn't know about us" bit(the novel of hyperion does redeem this part a bit). Also the matt ward treatment(1d4chan hates him with a passion). Speaking of 1d4, they're at odds deciding who's the chuck norris of war40k, draigo or logan grimnar(I'd vote for latter). Still, they do have a good trilogy (and few short stories), in said trilogy book 2, there's a cool moment where protagonist trades wits with a demon titan no less (book 3 was a shake up but with a reasonable ending), check it out if able.

It's obviously Sly Marbo, he can solo the entire armies of chaos if he felt like it.

What's the trilogy name?

@@mizublackriver7021 It's just called Grey Knights (book 1 called as such, book 2 is dark adeptus, book 3 hammer of daemons). There's also prequel Sacrifice(it's quite...grimdark), and the Emperor's Gift (novel where you follow guy called Hyperion(who becomes prognosticator later) during the 1st war for armageddon (he breaks angron's old demon sword) and the "months of shame"(he brokers the truce between inquisition and space wolves)).

@@Bread-nx9fo Oh yeah, completely forgot about him, he's actually the top contender for the chuck norris, grimnar close second(also santa, bcs of wolf sled he uses).

Mr Bones wants to cover all 2nd founding: proceeds to talk about the fallen and grey knights

I LIKE the idea of the greyknights, BUT as the idea that they are the best to use against daemons...as they were made for. like yes army wise, tech wise, gene wise, psychic wise they are one of if not THE best space marine chapter to exist ever...there's really only one group of marines that can compete with them and that's thousand sons, and even there the comparison is just a wizard duel and daemonology mastery AND THATS WHERE IT SHOULD BE. Grey Knights are the guys you send out for a daemon prince, a daemon primarch, a daemon world ect ect... if it has anything to do with a large scale daemonic influence the GK's should show up and just be absolute monsters WITH THE CAVEAT that because of their secrecy, and their elitism, the numbers they bring in...like the tabletop, are fewer than other responses.

The Grey Knights would do better with a Night Haunter style scribe system

Are the Carcharadons Astra part of the second founding?

Banishers of low quality razor blades, eaters of tangerines.

One thing I do not like about them: killing fellow forces of the imperium after an attempted daemonic siege simply because those forces witnessed chaos entities. Or has this been struck off?

Other Vids: *HI! i’m ARTHUR!* This vid: *hi. I’M arthur.*

I like the helmets of the grey knights

To fight the insanity of chaos you must become insane yourself - grey knight's most likely. And oh their "primarch" is the emperor, same as the shiny golden boys.

I have the Sonic OC issue you brought up, but with Custodes. They're just too obviously Golden Special Best Space Marines. "Each hand-crafted by athe Emperor himself!" It turns me off completley. I don't have that with The Grey Knights, so this was interesting :) Maybe becuse I never engaged in specific stories of thier lore? Perhaps I DO see them as having a niche that they excell at? (The Chaos Gate game has also recently reinforced how BADLY outnumbered they always are. Always vulnerable. Every mission is one mistake away from losing the whole squad)

this might seem odd but i miss the way he used to say "Hi! im Arthur" idk, it was just something so soothing about it, still absolutely love the content!

Just imagine the waste of about 1 million candidates to make just one Grey Knight
