Doom slayer solos all of these. I love 40k but my Doomguy killed both god and supergod/satan, the latter also made himself in the slayers image because „I will take the physical form of the strongest being in this universe and right now that’s you.“ like hell itself cannot kill him, only seal him and hope he doesn’t get free. He’s a demon to actual demons. And has razed hell in several dimensions. Fighting them for eons. As long as a named 40k character hasn’t soloed a chaos god and killed it for good, doom slayer wins lol.
Eversor assasins are absolute insanity I remember Space Marines being described as a high-end computer with decent specs running, and Thunder Warriors are like those same computers running at the max settings because they're stronger than space marines but burn out in seconds due to cancer and internal liquefaction and such In this metaphor, the Eversors are running DOOM Eternal on a gameboy and they're using the resulting melted heap of plastic as cannon ammunition to hit their target with
I like cars. Space marines: Rally cars, high performance, reliable and durable Thunder warriors: Muscle cars with engine over tuned plus fuel injectors, super high performance, engine will break down with continued use. Eversor: F1 car, extreme performance, falls apart after a race Custodes: hand crafted Bugatti
Callidus assassin: "No one will notice me because I shapeshifted myself into a non threat." Vindicare assassin: "No one will notice me because I'm 4 kilometers away." Culexus assassin: " No one will notice me, because no one wants to acknowledge my presence" Eversor Assassin: No one will notice me if no one's aloe to do the noticing."
I wonder how the sisters of silence would react to a cullexus assasin I imagine them talking in a room and everyone is screaming in suffering and they are like "How is the job doing?"
Assassinorum: Kingmaker is my absolute favorite 40k book. It's not as grand or as epic as some of the others, but it's such a breath of fresh air about two factions that don't get a ton of specific lore, knights and assassins.
It also went to show that Assassins aren't mindless Automatons. They are still people behind their masks, with their own personality quirks and preferences. Like Raithe waxing lyrically about how conventional firearms are better than Lasguns. I also loved the whole "Ancestors in the Throne Mechanicun" thing the Knights have, where you basically have a whole gaggle of your family members' ghosts riding shotgun with you, and judge you for every little thing.
Adamus assassin is basically a 40k ninja. They are swordsmen who are trained inna forbidden fighting style. The description below the product page expands a little on it
I will never forget 5th ed assassins. RIP big bug, who died when even the hive mind couldn't notice a hive guard was acrually a 6ft human female who then instantly killed the uber bug. o7
Vindicare is probably my favorite, and also the one I bring with my guardsmen the most often for sniper coverage, I also do just love the sheer insanity of wtf the Eversors are
I think you overlooked just how fucked Calidus assassins are. There's a story where a Calidus assassin turned their power up to full and someone who was in the room who wasn't even the target of the attack shot himself instantly cause it was just so unbearable. The Eldar hate and FEAR these things and regard them as the worst abomination ever created by humanity.
You know what I wish there was, a miscellaneous imperial units faction. Like it'll give you rules for rouge traders, arbetes, hive gang scum, and more. Official rules for all the cool smaller lore stuff without bloating the market by creating a whole book for each. Nothing extreme, just a little flavor to sprinkle onto your army.
Man, so much of the non-Space Marine Imperium is actually kind of fascinating. When I first heard about the shape-shifting assassins in general I didn't like the idea, it felt too...out there. Knowing they were specifically all created to take the limiters off and use whatever they can find in the setting to get the job done does make that make more sense, though. Maybe it's also seeing Taz-Mar's art on the Imperium opening me up to the idea of the Imperium being fucking horrifyingly weird also, but the assassins are actually pretty cool. (The first faction I actually took interest in in 40k was the Daemonhunters, funny enough. There's so much absolutely wild shit in 40k GW could make stuff for.)
for the longest time I was a vindicare stan purely on vibes the stoic cool headed type here to do one job and bounce but Ive warmed up to the fuckery of the callidus way a lot lately
Ill bite the bullet and be that guy: Arn't the assassins managed by the Officio Assassinorum? The Adeptus Administratum is the bureaucracy and quite a different thing. 40k Assassins are the coolest I'm glad you covered them! Also one cool 40k story I recommend with assassins in them is Watchers of the Throne: the Regent's Shadow. The Grand Masters of the Assassins and his agents play a key role in it. I will not spoil more about it however :p
While they are headed by the officio assassinorum, most headhunts require the direct consent of the high lords of Terra, technically making their boss the administratum
@@unclespeedwagon1302 You are right and I was wrong, the Officio is actually a subdepartment of the Administratum. I was confused by the heads of both organizations sitting equally at the table of the High Lords.
Arch mentioned there's a Temple Secretum, especialized on collecting and protecting the darkest secrets of the Imperium and eliminating anyone who goes too deep into the rabbit hole.
@@tesseract1406 shadowkeepers are a tad bit more specific thing being dedicated to contain specific objects, entities and individuals bellow the imperial palace
@@alexmoran3187The Shadowkeepers hunt down and contain horrors from the dark age Of technology, relics Of alien origin (some of them from alien empires that were already extinct before humanity evolved in old terra) and ancient enemies of the emperor who were deemed more valuable being kept alive than dead.
I love the Vindicare simply because one of them shot a fucking Dark Eldar fighter pilot in the head while he was strafing random humans. The assassin had waited for him for months to show up and near instantly shot him in the head through the fighter cockpit.
you forgot to mention that an assassin failed to assassinate his target and caused a chaos uprising with a siege for 20 years where chaos marines and titans joined
‘An Assassin does not stand and fight. An Assassin flees the battle, to return and bring death when the guns are silent.’ - Codex Astartes - Roboute Guilliman An Eversor Assassin was send to kill, Chapter Master Gabriel Seth of the Flesh Tearers Chapter. And Seth beat the crap out of the motherfvcker. Nobody knows who put a target on Seth[Inquisition kopf, kopf]
No amount of chapter master or primarch killing will stack up to the shapeshifty gals biggest impact to the setting... the one writers outlet for gene stealer... 'interests'
@@dyslegein I still to this day can’t believe that that is an actual 40k Book!!! I mean it would be a great 1st or second edition book, because it would fit right into that goofy/edgy era. But it just doesn’t feel like it fits in with current times and especially not with an Inquisitor.
Since you touched on Blanks, you should go more in depth on them in a later video. The whole idea of someone trying to bust a psyker down by using the "just say no" ideology and then somehow having it work just tickles me in funny ways.
Personal favorite's been the Vindicare. Just like the aesthetic. But the Eversor is if back in the Rogue Trader days GWAR happened to be in the area of the studio and they asked them to consult on how to design an 80s era action movie assassin for Judge Dredd.
Weak assassin aura: I must be quiet and stealthy Strong Evesor aura: FUCK IT WE BALL FUCK IT WE BALL FUCK IT WE BALL FUCK IT WE BALL FUCK IT WE BALL FUCK IT WE BALL FUCK IT WE BALL FUCK IT WE BALL
I think the best way to explain eversor assassins is that they are the opposite doctrine of the other temples (cut off the head of the snake blah blah). A general cant be effective if there isn’t anything to command.
the 3e assassin codex was what got me into war hammer. my kid brother bought it, it looked amazing, about 2 months later i was playing eldar. don't ask how that made sense in my head, i do not know.
Spent a week painting the Vindicare assassin, finally got to use in a game. Rolled a 1. Next shot, rolled a 1. Never used it again. Still in the disgraced box.
I have two hypothetical scenarios with assassins, first one is Vindicare versus T'au. I would guess that the T'au have better rifles since I always hear about their rediculous range but that isn't the only factor for snipers. Vindicare are beyond patient for the right moment to strike, and I'm sure their auxiliary equipment is just as good as the rifle. How long could a T'au mercenary keep a Vindicare target alive? Second idea was Eversor versus the World Eaters. Would an Eversor be jealous of the Butcher's Nails? Or are they several levels of magnitude angrier than that? Who would win in a 1v1, and if a 1v1 is too lopsided to be a fair fight, how many of one would it take to defeat the other?
My favorite fact about the major assassin temples is their names translated from Latin: Eversor: exterminator (kinda makes sense what with all the combat-chemical-cocktail-induced violence) Callidus: clever (they hide their true nature and engage in very specific long-game ops) Vindicare: "to claim" (they're sharpshooters, and there's also concept of 'taking' game as a hunter) Venenum: venom (foregone conclusion as poison/toxins/etc are their schtick) Vanus: vain/vanity (don't harass the authorities; they know more about you than you do) Adamus: Adam (the first man in Abrahamic religious myth; the earliest assassin model in GW history) Maerorus: sorrowful (a renegade temple; also worrisome that their one produced assassin was something unsettling) Culexus: . . . bedbug ( . . . you got me there)
I've probably said this about 100 times. But it's funny how hyper lethal these guys are despite being unable to kill the most threatening individuals to the imperium. (Though I understand that killing off Abaddon and Ghazghkull to nameless assassins would be lame and bad for buisness.)
Yes and no! The roots of the Assasin Clades started when a group of powerful and deadly folks were so deeply inspired by the Emperor's vision, they took it upon themselves to ensure no enemy would be beyond His reach. But they knew it would be dirty stuff and didnt want to soil the Emperors great and good works. Didnt want thanks. Didnt want praise. Course, Malcador was running the whole thing on the sly. However, come the Heresy, they get official backing and sanctioning by the Emperor and incorporated into the Imperium's power structure.
Are assassins actually able to get old, or does the rate of augmentation and an all-time-high on rediculous ammounts of cyber drugs takes it´s toll on them? Great channel! Great entertainment!
Personally, I love the Venenum assassins. Poisoning everything from your drinkies to the seat you sit on. Theres a lot of cool fan art out there of them...which makes it all the more shocking when you see how crappy the model actually is. God, they need a new model!!!
I'm a basic bitch and just love the Eversor. Have youbever read the comic or seen the movie MYSTERY MEN? They are basically Mr. Furious, just far more capable. If they were a D&D race, they'd be Neutral Murder. Can I murder it? Yes. Then I murder it. No. Then I explode. There is just something to be said about existing so simply. Oh hello, what do you do for a living? We extra murder the fuck out of everything. Ok, that's nice. Anything else? Sometimes we explode.
I've never been one to enjoy the assassin type - I mean, I'm an Ork lover for a reason, I hate sneaky gitz. That being said, I don't mind their inclusion, there is an obvious need for them especially since the Raven Guards are just no where to be seen (?) and who the Hell knows what the Alpha Legion is doing, who even knows what side they're on? So yeah, it makes sense as to why these assassins exist just, not my cup of tea.
I am actively listening to Nemesis (book 13 HH), so add this to the long list of freaky specific timed YT videos. I really like the Eversor since they are so far out of character to what people think of when they think of assassins. I thought for sure Arthur was going to have a "fuck it, we ball" meme for them, I am suprised he didn't.
how about in stead of an expensive berserking freak you just warp into a system and send the closest large rock on the intercept course of your target...? what I severely dislike about 40k is that the setting pretty much ignores what "void superiority" or even "contested" void can do to a planet in the context of 40k ships...you should be able to get by with a tiny fraction of the ground forces the imperium canonically has since if any warship enters a hostile system, its game over for the defenders if they dont have the means to effectively track it and intercepted, while also intercepting all the bull that the ship (really any warship in the setting) can yeet their's planet way...and if you are on the receiving end, lots of dudes wont help you since they can just get explodified if you can't secure the void
Callidus get a lot of writing so of course they face a lot of disasters, like when a Callidus stabbed a Planetary Governor who revealed itself to be a C'tan shard of The Deceiver. Also a random thought, the Eversor is probably what a Dark Age Techno-Barbarian warlord would use as infantry.
What’s not to love about the Eversor? They make the DOOM Marine go “you’re too intense for me, imma go get some camomile tea”.
Untrue

"They're sending us a message."

Would love a Boltgun style game where you play as an Eversor assassin.
everyone is always talking about how hot the callidus assassins are. my brother in christ have you SEEN the eversor assassins??
My usual comparison is if the other 3 main are scalpels the Eversor is a wood chipper.
I like the main four assassin methods. They each have a driffrent meaning and can even be used as bonus threats after the work is done.
By the Emperor, Nemesis was a fun read!
My favorite fact about the major assassin temples is their names translated from Latin:
Eversor: exterminator (kinda makes sense what with all the combat-chemical-cocktail-induced violence)
Callidus: clever (they hide their true nature and engage in very specific long-game ops)
Vindicare: "to claim" (they're sharpshooters, and there's also concept of 'taking' game as a hunter)
Venenum: venom (foregone conclusion as poison/toxins/etc are their schtick)
Vanus: vain/vanity (don't harass the authorities; they know more about you than you do)
Adamus: Adam (the first man in Abrahamic religious myth; the earliest assassin model in GW history)
Maerorus: sorrowful (a renegade temple; also worrisome that their one produced assassin was something unsettling)
Culexus: . . . bedbug ( . . . you got me there)
love the Caretaker background music! My favourite assassin is probably the culexus from looks alone, the skull helmet is phenomenal
That's cool one is pretty much a classic Ninja
Vindicare and Eversor are joint first place favourites for me
The Vindicare look like the dude from the Crysis games.
Should definitely dona video for every officio of the assassanorium
Assassins are cool, thank you.
Until next time!
I’ve always thought the vindicarre assassins were the coolest imo, nothing beats just a straight up sniper fud who’s good at what they do.

Id love to see an inquisitor codex or something in the future tbh😊
Wonder if they had a death match in a city who’s winning my money is on the Eversor or Blank/Cullexus

Fell in love with the assassins after reading assassinorum king maker
When I read the horus heresy books...it seemed like the temples were already established before the heresy started. Right or wrong??
Yes and no!
The roots of the Assasin Clades started when a group of powerful and deadly folks were so deeply inspired by the Emperor's vision, they took it upon themselves to ensure no enemy would be beyond His reach.
But they knew it would be dirty stuff and didnt want to soil the Emperors great and good works.

I really like the Eversor since they are so far out of character to what people think of when they think of assassins. I thought for sure Arthur was going to have a "fuck it, we ball" meme for them, I am suprised he didn't.
Finally 😁
America? This is a British franchise, good sir!
Hi Arthur
how about in stead of an expensive berserking freak you just warp into a system and send the closest large rock on the intercept course of your target...? what I severely dislike about 40k is that the setting pretty much ignores what "void superiority" or even "contested" void can do to a planet in the context of 40k ships...you should be able to get by with a tiny fraction of the ground forces the imperium canonically has since if any warship enters a hostile system, its game over for the defenders if they dont have the means to effectively track it and intercepted, while also intercepting all the bull that the ship (really any warship in the setting) can yeet their's planet way...and if you are on the receiving end, lots of dudes wont help you since they can just get explodified if you can't secure the void
Callidus get a lot of writing so of course they face a lot of disasters, like when a Callidus stabbed a Planetary Governor who revealed itself to be a C'tan shard of The Deceiver.
Also a random thought, the Eversor is probably what a Dark Age Techno-Barbarian warlord would use as infantry.
Wait what about the Leigenstrasse!?
The stuff that 1st claw and 10th company do the temple of the callidus assassins makes me kind of feel sorry for them a little bit
