If only Mortarion had decked his legion out with Saint Bones instead of ruining their scheme, maybe things would have been different. Probably not, but Maybe Get 10% off your Saint bones here : saintbones.com/discount/Majorkill

I think that has to do with the folktale connection of salamanders with fire, many medieval peoples even thinking that salamanders were spawned in fire. This is phenomenon was likely based on damp logs being used as firewood and the salamanders escaping what they thought was a good place to hibernate. There are also many other instances where salamanders in fantasy have fire oriented powers.
I think it'd be interesting to hear you rank all of the legions based on sheer brutality. World Eaters are obviously brutal and Salamanders are known for being the most caring, but there's still 16 more legions and it'd be interesting to see just where they all line up. Cheers.

Those topics may look boring in the surface and for those that are only knee deep in the lore it surely would be. But for those that are sunk in the lore or at least balls deep it would be extremely interesting
Ring and chains lead to fur ears and, eventually, a full blown fursona. It's a slippery slope to the thin edge of the wedge. I'm calling it. Majorkill is going to come out as Blue Wolf before 2025.
Another cool little tidbit about the Dusk Raiders is they were nicknamed the Red Right Hand of the Emperor's Justice. Hence their right arms
The beacons are lit. Gondor calls for aid!
I wanna know about the 20 thunder warrior legions possible video idea.
The Dusk Raiders paint schene looks like it would be near-impossible to manage in reality, but damn do I want to see someone try.
Video ideas: a general timeline of the galaxy and what happened when An explanation of the galaxies map and general terminology like adapetus vs astral and segmentums vs crap like the halo stars
Dusk Raiders were recruited from what was Scotland (No, not Albania as some dribbly spoons seem to think) and are based on the Border Reivers along with a smattering of the old legends of dawn raids over the walls by various tribes vs the Romans et. al. (Caledonii, not bloody Picts!).
This is a video I've been wanting to see for a while now
Yo awesome jewelery sponsor on a majorkill video right around Christmas?! Welcome to the buff guys with rings club ❤
Very cool video. Would like to see the weapons of each space marine legion next, or maybe eldar aspect warrior weapons.
Getting a video about how each pre heresy primarch would have reacted to being in Guillimans position as imperial regent, plz
With the Lunar Wolves it's probably like this. Garviel: "Look how awesome we look in our grey armour with cool looking trim!" Failbaddon: "Mate, do you know how easy you can paint your army black? Very easy."
Great video! Where in the lore does it mention the iron warrior's being known as the corpse grinders that's dope 👌
Was literally just researching this last night… MAJORKILL IS A WITCH!
I've been telling tubers to do this for years and finally someone did it
That's why I collected Dusk Raiders, Nathaniel Garro was the man
The first were also widely known as the Uncrowned Princes, due to many of them coming from old Terran clan nobility!
If you’re going to go that low with your standards on sponsors, just go with Raid and be done with it. 😂
Honestly, the Dusk Raiders have to be one of my absolute favourite legions of all time The very simple yet ritualistic meaning behind the red amidst the ash gray is fucking amazing, love their brutality
The m on the thousand sons pre-meeting with Primarch armor mean 1000 roman numeral
Bro I love them sponsor you getting heck yea I’ll check them out
A video of the top ten community wholesome moments would be great
Brooo i was just looking for pre-primarchs color schemes for my new MKIII space marines. Majorkill always comes in cluth
I think Emperor's Children's use to use chest heraldry of the noble house they came from
WorldEaters and Blood Angels definitely did a 180!
Imo, the XIX legion should have been the Raptors that would be the Tacticool space marine legion, with the Ravenguard chapter being spun off from them as the elite first grand company who went along with corax most.
The level of drip is insane good job majorkill
Gold and silver is very smart Majorkill. Can always be resold and it's always valuable.
Correction: Imperial Fists were named so before unifying with Dorn. Dorn didn't see the point in changing the name.
Why are most of the pre primarch legions look better and have better lore, like the raven guards wore camo depending on the mission, and most of the legions didn't have the extravagant colors, they felt like actual elite soldiers with tactics rather super man children screaming with a chainsword.

Because they were written later by people better at writing lore lol.
How about a “what if Horus won” video? The imperium of terra would have fallen, but presumably the loyalists would have fought on, guilliman himself having an empire within an empire. Maybe they form an uneasy alliance with perturabo, who at this point was mostly just sick of his insane brothers? Could be some interesting scenarios here, it would basically be imperium nihilus vs chaos. And to give the loyalists a fighting chance maybe assume sanguinius got away, and maybe Dorn as well.

I've seen the chevrons of the Iron Warriors depicted as Olympian heraldry is some fan art. I think that's pretty cool
Space marines in realistic camo are underrated imo
The World eaters are some of the most tragic. They were an already brutal force. Wanting to engage at close range and had a reputation of leaving few alive. But they were not blood crazed bezerkers. Angron, despite wanting to removed the 'collared hound' aesthetic decided to instead put the butchers nail into all of them. And an imperfect one at that cause the Mechanicus couldn't exactly replicate it. They had some of the most loyalists in the numbers when the massacre happened, which shows just how much Angrons arrival had truly angered the legion. He doomed the rest to become nothing more than hounds frothing at the mouth in service to Khorne.
Majorkill you should do a video on the life of a chaos cultists
That first art piece of the grey dark angel is sick as fuuu….
Superb video as always @majorkill. Could you make a video dedicated to the Navigators, the major houses, their politics, relation to the overall Imperium and factions, etc?
Damn i didn't know we were getting so close to the point where full videos are just naming names and colors
Legions of the 2nd and 11th Primarchs: *exist as empty canvass* Fanfic Writers and Tabletop Players: "It's a free real estate."
Wait Corvus just banished his legion to the edges of the galaxy? Is that where the Carcharadons came from?
With the alpha legion I thought it was the other way round with Omegon being kept secret and staying hidden on terra and Alpharius being scattered into the galaxy.
can you talk about the relationship between terran born astartes, and their non terran born counterparts and primarchs?
0:40 Majorkill needs a trucker hat and a cool jacket to complete the Bling look.
Major. Every instance of time travel in WH40K done by the Imperium and a little bit by other factions
I usually just mix my legions to basically play as blood angels with x but the raven guard I always run as ashen claws. For example I’ve made a Black Dragon’s successor chapter with Blood Angels geneseed. This chapter members only begin to mutate bone growths in the early stages of the black rage with the upside of no red thirst. After the battle with Angron vs the Lion and Dante some Dark Angels witnessed the honor of the IX legion. They decided to make a blood pact with the blood angels and to hold the weight of there curses together as brothers becoming an entirely new successor chapter.
The greatest tragedy was the super cool Warhounds becoming absolutely downgraded when they became the world eaters.
Make a video about Primarch armor and its origins
I was really in love with the watch designs, until i saw the price tag, yikes, maybe if i win the lottery ill get one lol
So the Terran born Raven Guard became the Space Sharks through exile? Damn Corvus is cold.
space marines and clone troopers from star wars are my 2 favorite designs of combatarmor. and color does alot ngl. question is their a marinechapter that have main black armor with green color? always like these 2 combinations
someone needs to stop m,ajorkill before he drowns us all in that drip
For the Death Guard and World Eaters, uniting with their Primarch was the worse thing to have ever happened to them. Also Corax was an ass to his Terran born Legionnaires.
how many of the Emperor miniatures orders have you left to complete as my son hasn't had his yet?
Finally!
All good about the sponsor and merch but I'm waiting for my emperor model first before I buy anything else ....lol
Mortarion didnt do a bad job of integrating his Terran born legion.
Maybe you could do a video about War of the False Primarch.
Cover all the most insane things matt ward ever had an ultra marine do.
The Thousand Sons are kinda similar to the Alpha Legion in the sense that E communicated with the nerd very early on.
I can't believe I'm saying it out loud, but I like the way and reason Angron changed the name of the his Legion.
Night Lords at one point before meeting Konrad wore grey armour with the lightning bolts and eagle of the Emperor, at some point this changed to a inky blue/black colour though apparently without the lightning effect though whether that change was before or after meeting Curze is not known as far as I am aware. Edit; I have been told that Konrad was not found at this time so the Night Lords wore the innky blue/black before meeting him then probably added the bat motifs and lightning after being reunited.
the fistes looked dope
majors tranformation to Fulgrim continues.
Video 51 of asking ‘What if Nykona Sharrowkyn killed Fulgrim’
Very good video, as always. Next, please do one about what each legion’s personality/ways of war was before meeting their Primarch, and how they changed. For good or for bad.

My favourite by far is the Blood Angels. A legion of savage warriors, geneseed powerful enough to raise debased mutants to angelic beauty. Though shunned by the rest of the Imperium, they had their pride. Sanguinius tempered their ferocity with culture, leaving the Blood Angels only bested by the Emperor's Children in works of art. The Blood Angels were of course much more humble about it, since their art was discipline, to control the Thirst.
