    Bearzerker cooking tip: Grey Knight flesh pairs well with mushrooms and sweet sauces.

    • @dante001ish
      @dante001ish Před 5 lety +3

      I would use a port & red wine reduction sauce & serve with colcannon mash & seasonal vegetable's....mushroom's are so Orky.

      Roasted with a side of Fava beans, a Cianti would be a fine match!

    • @punishedbearzerker5400
      @punishedbearzerker5400 Před 5 lety +3

      brent newman I find that red wine goes better with seared Ultramarine.
      You may be right about the seasonal veggies though. If I'm being honest with myself, I am incredibly partial to my rosemary/bacon/cranberry dressing & Grey Knight stuffed Portobello mushrooms.
      Oh, and speaking of Orks, I love making a provolone/swiss cheese sauce with hefeweizen for my Orky Cheesesteaks. Best part is the mushroomy flavor is already there.

    One unbreakable shield against the coming darkness,

    Let them be my legacy to the galaxy I conquered
    And my final gift to the species I failed ….

    Najsu, my home brew Chapter "The Dark Knights" where made from Grey Knights Geen-Seed. My Astartes are pariahs not psykers(because why not?;) The Dark Knights are armored in "Etherium" Power Armour and armed with storm-bolters and "Katharsis" power weapons.

    • @Daimon-X
      @Daimon-X Před 5 lety +2

      Nope, physically and mentally Dark Knights Astartes are on the same level as Grey Knight's that's all. I'm totally aware to not f*cked with the lore of WH40k. On the other hand The Dark Knights Chapter is very small, there are only 3 Brotherhoods(from the original 10) Long story, short after their creation the Dark Knights where send on Crusade in to The Eye of Terror(What could possibly go wrong?) Chapter was decimated but survivors returned into materium and now are fighting like any other Astartes Chapter(but they have grudge against Inquisition and High Lords of Terra)

    So if a demon feels pure pain just from a name. Would that mean if I screamed Kaldor Drago or Janus loud enough at it. Would it have the same effect?

    I've always thought it seems like a waste to let aspirants die. Even passing the first few trials proves they would make fantastic guardsmen if nothing else.

    • @Youngimperialist
      @Youngimperialist Před 5 lety +1

      Custodes were created for a different purpose and by a different method to Astartes.

    • @GrimDarkNarrator
      @GrimDarkNarrator  Před 5 lety +2

      True. Custodians were "hand-crafted" by the Emperor via a more complex process. They are different from the Astartes at a genetic level. Grey Knights are still Astartes, albeit more "pure" and genetically stable than your average Space Marine.

      But it razes a question/possibility is the Hive mind going for Terra as a feeding ground or is it looking for a host for its mind so it can be a corporeal entity without relying on hive queens as proxy. And if will it use big E as a host.
      This one is going on the next podcastus XD

    Listening to how the Grey Knights are Pretty Much Uncomfortable I realize something (Spoilers for Space Marine)
    The Main Protagonist has dealt with the energies of Chaos and came out with not a Scratch or a hint of Corruption, While he was taken away by the black Templar's for questioning he's pretty much a Perfect Candidate to become a Grey Knight. Just wish there was a Space Marine 2

  • @Volthnius
    @Volthnius Před 5 lety +1

    I personally would love to become something akin to a Grey Knight but that doesn't view the Emperor as a God to be blindly served. I would serve the Emperor's ideals of the Imperial Truth and I genuinely believe that a secular rationalist society emphasizing that humanity stand on its own two feet is the path to true happiness as many prominent philosophers believed. My physical shape is pretty good but I'd condition it more because just the initial tests would require a Delta Operator's level of physical fitness if not more. I think I would give it my best efforts but I'm not going to delude myself and say I'd make it. I will not break mentally but as to whether or not my body is strong enough for the tests and the eventual Astartes augmentations, is not entirely within my control. It would be a HUGE honor to have even been considered "Pure enough" to be brought for testing. I would feel like Guts (from Berserk) and the Doom Slayer in terms of the amount of straight pain I'll be bringing to demons.
