I'm not a scientist, but calling Imperial Chapters (soul drinkers) or Planets (Armageddon) something aggressive is probably going to yield a poor result.
But what do I know, I'm just a dude that sells Hentai : www.patreon.com/majorkill
Soul Drinkers? What about the Soul *Rapers*
can u do a chapter video on the executioners
I would love a vid listing the stolen blood raven relics and how they got them. Like, they have rogals fist
They should have used Praetorian of Dorn so drop the hint that the Spear was the one originally used by alpharius, and that Dorn tasked the chapter with looking after it, 10k years is more than enough time for “guard this, it’s important” to be misinterpreted as “Guard this, it’s important, and I made it”
I am no genius either but I must agree with your statement.
"Suffering a mortal wound is like stubbing your toe."
So it hurts a little and causes you to go into an incensed rage?
Yes go down swinging in pure rage
For most of the Astartes yes... Imagine all the pent up impotent rage of a neckbeard and then multiply that x100 and then unleash it on your foe. That's what the Astartes can do under duress/black rage/whatever.
Basically every last stand in 40k
specifically, a BLACK RAGE
actually, that's exactly correct
Well purple space armor means orks can't see them
Does that mean the Orks can't see the Emperor's Children too?
@@rexlumontad5644 yes very sneaky
@@hunterduck20 I can imagine the look on Pre-Heresy Fulgrim and his Legion's faces when the Orks did not see them at all and not take them seriously, insulting their pride lol
@@rexlumontad5644
Fulgrim:”Father! The Orks are being mean and say they can’t see me or my space marines!”
The Emperor:”Grow up, you wimp.”
@@spencersholden Preh Heresy Corvas Corax: Write that down sons. Next time our scouts have to sneek into an ork camp and decapitate their leadership this could come in handy.
Random raven guard captain: But my lord, purple? Surely if we dress up like a bunch of flamboyant sons of fulcrum, we'll stick out like a soar thumb even during a nighttime raid. Even the greenskins can't be that fucking dim witte...
Corvus Corax: Son, don't bother trying to comprehend or question the asinine logic of orks. Anyone facing them on the battlefield is better off playing into their ridiculous superstitions. As ridiculous as it seems, they collectively believe purple is the stealthiest color, so they won't even acknowledge us until we're practically standing right in front of them. Believe me, my egomanical brother is less than thrilled that the greenskins don't seem to acknowledge him until he a one of his sons walks up to and smacks the nearest nob before being laughed at as "panzy looking gitz."
Trying to do the right thing in the wrong way.
Screwed by Tzeentch.
That sounds to me like that gene-seed was Magnus's
I like how Chapters like the Soul Drinkers actually justify the suspicion and paranoia of the Inquisition towards Space Marines falling to Chaos, it can happen even if the Chapter is almost completely loyal just by taking a few missteps or not fully understanding a situation.
Orrr... The Astral Claws incident. Pure loyalist, experts even among astarte, defenders of the Imperium. Many great achievements and honors. Well one day they decided to rose above the maximum, by a small number of 5 000 marines. Making them a micro legion, than rebel. Hence the Badab war.
It's honestly surprising they were able to get this much marine together. However such forces are very hard to put down and leaves other sectors entirely undefended. This is why a full blown Blood Raven Chapter is a problem. Relic items going all around, with an exceptionally large Astarte Psycher force. They are not just Zelous, but also vicious battle hardened veterans who broke chaos forces many times. Not many chapter can stand up against them. If they go Chaos, Emperor help you.
@@Kareszkoma at the end of the day they were just trying to save their system from his mustache twirling noble it's all the space shark fault who thought that blowing up their chapter homeworld was a good idead also as a matter of fact having more marines than the codex allows doesn't make them become heretics
@@jhonnoilcringeincarnato8593 No, but it does make them very dangerous. 6000 Space Marine can easily overrun an entire sector. Space Marines are rare and they are exceptionally "effective". The moment they start to act like an imperial guard instead of a commando, there isn't any much that can stop them. At best the mechanicum can try to blast their ships apart before they get boarded.
Don't forget the Astarte was strong enough to threathen everyone, Mars included, into the Imperium. They are very very dangerous.
Legions like the alpha legion didn't work by clean battle either. The Imperial Guard might have millions of soldiers, but the astarte can behead them and pretty much scatter them.
@@augustuslunasol10thapostle Also the Dark Angels. Or the Space Wolfs. However.. they are.. who they are. Okay. Not every chapter can do that. It's kind of a "law".
If you think fucking with the wolfes was a bad idea from the part of the inquisition, well fuck with the Templars. They put the Inquisitors right beside the mutants on their little crusade list, and probably wipe them out by Monday.
It's not enough that the Templars don't really.. abide to anything. But their numbers are plenty over 6000, sometimes even more, closer to 10 000.
Originally their things were just "tolerated". But now, the Inquisition cannot do anything against the Black Templars. Their numbers are huge. Unless other Astarte Chapters join against them or the Custodes are sent, the Inquisition can't really do anything anymore.
Luckily the Black Templars are not really corruptable. That would be a stab the Imperium would probably not recover from.
and growing spider legs, don't forget the spider legs!
tzeentch "MY PLANS HAVE FINNALY SUCCEDED"
Spidey boy and loyalist soul drinkers "nope"
Tzeentch *screaming squid who somehow lost*
The Indecisive Mollusk is a sore loser lmao
Who said I lost ? It's just all part of the plaaaan...
@@titssnitchtzeentch649 you lost mr plans just like you lost to the silvery door stop
@@titssnitchtzeentch649 You lost to Kitten in a children's card game.
@@scurrystopthat9985 No I didn't I lost on purpose !
Majorkill, we want, no, we REQUIRE a vid about the Dark Age of Technology!
Fax lowkey the most interesting part of 40k
The real reason for the great collapse was because someone found Majorkill's stash of Yvraine R34 and the sheer size of it crashed every computer system
I agree
That's my favorite time period in 40k, so much potential for more lore and possibly a new I.P. for GW
@@samuelavlonitis1979 couldn’t agree more!
These guys looked like Chaos Marines from day one, holy
They look like loyalist emperor children but that also love to get drunk
@@chosenofkhorne2951 Maby where their gene seed is from
@@chosenofkhorne2951 It did not help their purple color scheme is that of the III Legion
@@chosenofkhorne2951 The first time I saw them it was the primaris marines, so I legit just thought they WHERE loyalist emperors children marines that where created by cawl
@@tfan2222 ...
Possible.
Did they even drink a soul at any point
I mean the chaos worshiping Chaplain or dreadnought might have. Possibly.
There geneseed had a trait where if they digested the flesh of their enemies then they would get the memories of them, down to how they felt emotionally at their time of death. So if they fought a worthy foe they would ritually drink their flesh in a flesh/blood/ alcoholic drink, thus giving them their name
@@typicaledgar7920
I'm pretty sure all space marines have the ability to gain people's memories by consuming their flesh or at the very least their brain.
@@typicaledgar7920 The Flesh Eaters can do that too but they just eat whatever it is they fight except maybe tyranids or people tainted by Chaos
Yes, but it's noted in the lore that they had an exceptional ability at it after they would drink it they would go into a trance like state , while other chapters would get information about it they legit would see the entire life of the person from birth to the point where they are killed by the Soul Drinker, they legit watch them kill themselves in the others body
Just imagine some Primaris Soul Drinkers are pinned down by forces of Chaos and a warp rift appears and out comes Sarpedon and 2 Soul Drinkers to reinforce their name brothers.
The spider legs incident may have been misreported. According to my Viz dictionary spider legs are "rogue pubic hairs which protrude beyond the knicker line"
I was having a good day
i dont think thats right but i give you props
thankyou for clearing up this misconception brother
Soul drinkers, that sounds very Dark Eldar-y
I would imagine the guy when spider legs just come out his ass, “euhm, let’s just pretend it’s from the emperor. IM SPOODERMAN NOW”
Way to go spidey!
Poor boys, they needed a good hug and a very *CLEANSING* promethium bath.
"Beep boop Necrons are OP" lmao
There’s a reason they were labeled under Renegade chapters and not Heretic chapters, their continued support and fight for the Emperor, and continued hate of the Daemons, also reason for how they all act comes from the book that their chapter follows, which isn’t the codex.
“And there’s one thing the emperor didn’t give his marines, it’s spider legs”
Where was the theory where the Soul Drinkers is a successor chapter of one of the lost legions?
Probably loyalist Emperor's Children
@@rexlumontad5644 Given the mutations far more likely to be Thousand Sons
I thought about the alpha legion, the Spears maybe being the spear Alpharius had
@@GMorgan84 yooo imagine the loyalist magnus shard leading the new souldrinkers
@@GMorgan84 It makes sense why they keep getting mutations.
LETS GO MAJORKILL!
Do Astral Claws next or the Huron Blackheart
Considering Crawl I wouldn't be so sure of the new Souldrinkers having a new genseed
The inquisition shoud have enlightened the Black Templars, that another sons of Dorn are getting into heresy...
Why would the Inquisition go after one of the few chapters that actually worship the Emperor like a God? Sure, they break the Codex Astartes and bend a lot of rules but there's absolutely no taint of chaos in them and they're more loyal to the Inquisition and their beliefs than Gulliman and the Imperial Truth.
@@TedTeddison99
Read what he said again. He wasn't saying that the Inquisition would kill the Black Templars. Obviously. He was saying that the Inquisition should have informed the Black Templars of the Soul Drinkers and their heretical actions/mutations.
@@noneofyourbusiness2437 Welp, I feel stupid now 😂. Thanks for the clarification mate, I think the spelling is what threw me off.
@@TedTeddison99 The Black Templars would fist the Inquisition for what they did to the Celestial Lions
My favourite "loyal" chapter
Wait a minute, the Mechanicus aren’t even capable of reverse engineering normal military hardware and also see it as as techno-heresy, so why in the Emperor’s name did they think they could reverse engineer a primarch relic?
Digital crack thats why
Eargerness overriding good sense and self-awareness
Also a good helping of some grimderp
Nah, they are capable

With Starscream dead.... being a huge fan of Transformers. I approve this message
Thanls major, now I can take a break from my assessment grind and relax and watch quality
Finally! I found a vid on the SoulDrinkers! I heard them mentioned in other Channel's videos, but, didn't say what they were! So glad I came across this one. I would love to learn more about them.
I like the Soul Drinkers quite a lot!
They were my first contact with the 40k universe.
The books from Ben counter are fantastic!
With a name like that, you'd think Shang Tsung was their Chapter Master.
Hey Majorkill mate, do a video about the Relictors next. :)
And they called soul drinker because they eat there enemies to gain knowedge...not many chapters can do that anymore and it was a staple of libraians in there chapter....who sapeodon was its head librarian
..they wer heavey on librarians
Like the Blood Ravens, who had half their chapter turn heretics at one point...
I think there is a pattern here...
@@axios4702 probally loyalist thousand sons in both cases
@@axios4702 and the space Wolves in terms of eating enemies to gain knowledge
Roboute literally was so impressed by the sheer badassery of the loyalist element of the soul drinkers that he reformed them with primaris
I'm only here to learn about the drinkability and flavor of souls
At times i wonder just how many fanart of Guilliman x Yvraine actually exists lmao
"With Starscream dead, it was now time to fight Megatron" 😂😂😂😂
The soul drinkers books are what rly got me into 40k....soul drinkers never got a break but always protected humanity while sayin fuk the administratum. HARD AND FAST...best motto for a chapter lmao
Majorkill got that Nurgles rot
I always just thought they were one of the lost and missing primarchs successor chapters that rogal dorn took in.
Theory: soul drinkers are actually related to one of the long lost primachs.
Finally! A lore video on my favourite chapter. Thanks major!
The First Soul Drinkers Book describes Chaplain Iktinos as "Rugged in the face, White haired, All the Markers of Of our Gene Sire" If they're not Sons of Dorn,
The only other white haired Primarch was Fulgrim... and The Purple/Gold Color scheme.... it's obvious who their OG Legion was
So the "Soul Drinker's Omnibus" was left to me in middle school circa 20years ago and was my very first exposure to Warhammer. Fun stuff 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
They are most definitely the emperors children successors. The purple and gold are a dead give away
I feel like another possibility about their origins was left out. They could have a gene seed from one of the lost primaries and been adopted as fists to obscure their origin.
Any chance that those remaining Soul Drinkers who stepped in the Warp became Space Marines for the Legion of the Damned?
Here's my thoughts about the origins of the Soul Drinkers, I think their a successor chapter to either the 11th or 2nd legions and was a rare exception to them being given to the Unltramariens but instead given to the imperial fists
Loving the Soul Drinkers. I Made a whole primaris only army of Soul Drinkers
I'm early, to a Soul Drinkers explaination at that. I love you Chad Majorkill.
Another great vid Majorkill, also nice Cameo in Baldemorts Space Wolves vid
You thought it was the Chaplin, but it was I, the Dreadnought.
"Beep Boop Jesus christ, neurons are op. Sure thing Spiderman."
This is why Majorkill is the best Warhammer youtuber
1:02, that whole bit was the best setup for a Matt Ward joke I have ever seen
What would a soul drink taste like?
Tears
I feel like this would’ve been some of the loyalists of the emperor’s children, that managed to escape Istvan/Estvan 3
I don't know, the whole spear and subterfuge thing sounds like a Alpha Legion thing
@@levongevorgyan6789 yeah, but they decided to have purple and gold for their chapter colors, like the emperor’s children.
@@masterdrood2569 Don't some of the alpha legion have dark blue/ purple armor?
@@masterdrood2569 I wouldn't say a color choice is really any actual evidence of a theory, I mean, in some situations it can be but I don't know
@@randomtechpriest1633 well that’s what I was saying, from their choice of colors, they look like they would’ve been the remnants of the loyalist emperor’s children
last time i was this early dad was still home
Damn that got me right in the feels
Wait, doesn't that mean that there is currently rogue og soul drinkers wandering around the imperium as black shields? I mean the second time spider man acted like an asshole, a lot of loyalists left so that's an interesting possible story
E V I L D R E D D Y F E T U S M A N
Holy shit 1k left, how your next target once the syndicate is destroyed
Soul Drinkers was the first novel I read from the Black Library, it started a long journey for me lol
These guys were my entry to 40k, i think. The fourth novel, "Chapter War", is the best.
My new boost of serotonin for the week
ahh a perfect video for my B day. Good job major kill
I want to see a video on The Purge. Love these Chaos boys.
11:22 ya crawl totally left the dudes with traitor Genseed alone
thank you for picking Soul Drinkers! Fun narrated :)
Australia has so much , juicemedia for the news , Majorkill for entertainment , john cadogan for your cars and a big red rock somewhere .
They're not heretical, they're just thirsty...
That's it! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I MUST sponsor your crazy ass!
Oh! And good job with that Uncle B joint🙌🏾
this video is the best thing that happened to me today
"Beep Boop Jesus christ Necrons are OP"
mate I almost shit my pants by laughing so hard xD
nice job with your part in baldermorts wolvesvid 👍👍👍
About damn time!!!
40k best bromances dude. Gabriel and dante at p 1 ofc.
Given their color scheme and their penchant for accidentally falling to Chaos, its possible that they are Loyalist EC successors right
To be fair to the Emperor's Children, they only really fell when the magnificent bastard Fabius Bile rewired their brains to connect the pain receptors to the pleasure center of the brain. They would have been perfectly Loyalist had Fulgrim not grabbed the Laer Blade and had Fabius Bile not existed.
You should go over the Celestial Lions and the Adeptus Vaelarii. That group of marines get fucked by the Inquisition, Traitor Space Marines, being in the Dark Imperium and warp spaghetti lol.
Just finished reading Spear of the Emperor and daaaaaaang.....wild read
The Soul Drinkers drank the blood of their fallen enemies to gain information if I remember what was written in the Soul Drinkers : Redemption book (awesome read btw)
The sarpedon minis people have kitbashed look awesome.
I think the soul drinker name came from them eating brains more than most marines and then unfortunately hallucinating from that a lot. To my understanding.
4 more k and we will dank on 40k and oneminded
Aaaaah. A perfect start to a monday.
172K subscribers... Holy shit what a ride aye Major, I can't even remember how any you had when I found this channel but your Growth rates insane! Here is a Drink "Raises pint" in the success and honour off the "Major Born" your so close to finally overcoming Soft-Brain syndicate 😎👊 this channel for the win
7:33 just made me think of Dorn doing a maury povich "you are not the father"
Nah they're not a successor chapter of the imperial fists they're clearly a successor chapter of the emperor's children
Also loved how you compared the traitor chaplain and traitor dreadnought to starscream and megatron
EDIT: SPIDER-ASTARTES SPIDER-ASTARTES STABBING HERETICS WITH HIS SPIDER LEGS
Nice been waiting for him to do this. Even tho I'm 3 days late lol.
do one on the red corsairs!
One of these is not like the others:
- Soul Drinkers
- Flesh Tearers
- Bloodthirsters
- Blood Drinkers
- Flesh Eaters
Ur sickness is so noticable XD
We need a video on the Sons of Malice (and potentially even Malice, himself)
YEEEAAAA BUDDY! Great channel
Your mortal enemies on CZcams are trying many different things to get subscriptions keep on doing what you're doing I watch almost all of your videos till the end
I love the Soul Drinkers books but the setup is beyond silly. The whole thing relies on Sarpedon, who is a Librarian, not recognising that some cultists who worship the Architect of Fate and Sarpedon, who is a Librarian, listening to their leader, taking everything he says at face value _and then_ appointing him as his spiritual advisor. Have I mentioned that Sarpedon *is a fucking Librarian?* He should recognise one of the more common names of Tzeentch when he hears it. I mean it's as if Astartes Librarians know a thing or two about Chaos or something...
Honestly, thought these guys were emperors children at first
I am that gal and I love this channel!! Makes me laugh till I pee myself ;)
I cosplay a soul-drinker space marine their story stood out so much
Hey majorkill would you make a video on the blades of vengeance chapter
Keep your health up my guy, don't fall to the sickness before the final push to glory!!!.
