Very spooky, but not as spooky as the prospect of the Majorkill Plushie loosing to a bunch of multicoloured T-Rexes, support the cause and get a life long cuddle companion here : www.makeship.com/products/majorkill-plush Or ya know, just jerk off to some hentai : www.patreon.com/majorkill

I remember reading a quote somewhere about the difference between terror and horror. "terror is seeing a monster charging at you; horror is realizing you cant move your legs."

I love the image of Tzeetch picking up a greater demon and throwing them into the well and just sitting there going “hm. It would appear this one hasn’t come back either, just like the 1693957362 before it” and then Kairos comes out and it just sends Tzeetch completely upside down wondering the what and the how of this happening. This image brings me great joy seeing the god of change who is seemingly all knowing being absolutely stumped by something. And him trying to get some answers out of Kairos but Kairos is arguably the most fried being in all of warhammer

If I had a dime for Everytime I read "how did it come to this" in a 40k story, I could afford multiple tabletop armies.

Whenever I read something about the night lord's I think about that time that the dark eldar gave them the creeps

“Trayzn acting like an immortal Ash Ketchum” *Isn’t Ash already an immortal like the dude has been catching Pokémon for decades now and still hasn’t aged*

Love how the most horrifying thing in the Warhammer universe is still just Alzheimers. The grimdarkest setting possible still can't fathom anything worse then losing your memories and faculties and being powerless to stop it

I few chapters that could be viewed as horror can be found in the Konrad Curze book. A group of salvagers found Konrad after Sanguinius threw him into space and somehow Conrad escaped his cryopod prison. The proceeds to kill everyone in the most Curzey way until one is left. For more Flayer Necron stuff Check out the Twice Dead King books, both are good but the first one is so good!

2:15 "My sons and daughters do not harm Hagrid on my command, but I cannot deny them fresh meat when it wanders so willingly into our midst." - Aragog the Giant Spider

Man, i find a few Nightlords stories that are horrific. The story about how the heresy era night-lords war-band being doomed by their own very broken-nature. How whenever one of them arrogantly takes up the role of team leader, the rest of them will start to resent whoever takes up that mantle of guiding them to glory, in which then eventually set them up to be killed. Thus dooming the war-band in its entire to a steady demise, seemingly trapped in some insidiously predictable curse, Where they keep whittling down one warrior at a time, and further weakening the whole. Only to inevitably repeat the process, all-in-all being fully self-aware of their inevitable downfall that is coming. The curse of their primarchs own self hatred, evident for all to see. That shit kinda shook me, with how raw of a deal that is.

The halo stars are probably the creepiest things in warhammer, you have an ancient relic of a hyper advanced alien race that makes the recipient almost invincible and extremely strong, whatever causes this race to disappear must have been quite powerful

The tyranids might have counted as cosmic horror when Kryptman first found traces of them. As might the daemons during the betrayal at Calth. But not now, I think. Even the existence of the King in Yellow, or confirmation of the Plateau of Leng on Terra don't. You only really get it when there's enough of the unknown. The stuff that's not been explained yet. The bits that don't fit. Which like you say makes the Halo Stars a far better candidate. Without the stuff people can't begin to explain, let alone fight effectively, what you have is just horrific window-dressing. So what counts as cosmic horror in the Majorkillverse? The real explanation of what happened to Timmy.

One thing that really stuck with me was the Sons of Malice. They would capture humans and xenos to use for cannibalistic rituals. Now killing enemies and eating them after is one thing but just the idea of being kept in a cell for months, dragged out to a room full of these lunatics seeing thousands of people being eaten alive, because you know they would be alive, and having some giant mutant start by biting your fingers off just horrified me.

For some reason my mind always circles back to that annoying prick Lushes the Eternal. I find it funny how he died to something as crappy as a land mine and was yeeted halfway across the galaxy to a factory. But imagine just being a factory menial and the greatest champion of Slanesh is just, suddenly, here, right in front of you. You have no idea what chaos is, you've only herd legends of space marines, and now this defiantly not space marine is suddenly here and wants to violate you. Oh, you're talking about *real* horror ... both the necrons and tyranids are perfect vehicles of cosmic horror.

I’m pretty sure I heard that the reason people keep seeking out the halo devices is because there’s like a 30% chance it won’t turn you into a flesh eating monster and gives you the good affects anyways. This could mean that you point about humans Mabye not being so compatible with them could be right as only some devices work with humans

I recommend "The Watcher in the Rain" from the Black Library for good horror. I enjoy the idea that there are Xeno Warp entities and other influences that if they gather enough followers could rival the Chaos Gods.

In my mind, There's nothing more horrifying in the 40k universe then that souls DO exist, but upon death, it's ripped apart violently or at best evaporates to be food for demons. Like dying sucks. But dying a second time, eternally, is a step darker

Non chaos aligned warp entities and magic would be a cool video.

Endor's story sounds like it was definitely written by a horror writer. A psychological deep dive on a single character's phsyche amps up the grim dark tenfold

So if I get a plushy... I can get ringtones of you screaming at Timmy?

That one girl must feel so special. Majorkill mentions her directly in every single video.

It would be cool if we got a horror story about a planet that is being invaded by both a night lords and emperor's children warband because they find a clue of and ancient artifact and weapons of a race of xenos who whorshiped chaos and they created some really messed up stuff and the story would be from the imperial guard's perspective .

It would actually make a lot of sense for the well of eternity to be the birth place of the warp and it came from a universe completely made up of the warp stuff (multiverse theory essentially). I guess you could say it's a tear in reality that couldn't be seen because it's origin defied the laws of the 40k universe, and like oil and water it couldn't merge with the 40k universe thus it created the pocket dimension we know as "the warp". Alluding to why tzeentch being the most chaotic of the chaos gods since his creation was most likely influenced by the well that sits at the center of his domain. Which might also mean that the halo stars are sitting parallel to another even darker in origin universe that defies the laws of reality in a different way than the warp which would explain why the chaos gods would fear it because it's alien even to them. Imagine knowing that the warp is just a leak into reality and that the chaos gods are just a byproduct of it doing so, alluding to the idea that there could be things beyond the well of eternity that even the chaos gods could consider gods in terms of power.

That brain worm story is hella sad and assistant bit is just the final kick in the teeth

Horror is legitimately 40ks biggest strength, and honestly, it's what they need to lean into for most stuff.

*thumbnail* "HEY KIDS WANNA SEE A DEAD BODY?!" "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

Had to skip the Endor bit as I was about to read it at the time, and I can confirm that it is a sad and unnerving story. The ending is clear from around halfway through the story, but it doesn’t stop it from being a heartbreaker of a short story. The fall from bright inquisitor that Eisenhorn spoke so well about to a grey-haired man living out his last in a jumbled mess is made worse by just how well the story is written and how much he meant. I would recommend whoever reads this to read the Eisenhorn trilogy turned quadrology, where you can see the tale in full Although I hardly expect anyone to see that last bit because this was a long-ass comment

Be a Guardsman. Almost getting annihilated by Dark Eldar in a night attack. At the last possible second the sky opens up and showers the battle field with drop pods. ULTRAMARINES! They butcher the Druchii with surgical precision. One of their captains turns to you and asks you to show him to your command post. Gratefully you lead him and his retinue through the trenches. As you step into the dimly lit bunker you admire the white gold decorations and blue of their armor. Royal blue? No, something else. Maybe Ocean blue? Definitely more of a greenish hint than all the icons have you believe. As you step into the pressence of your commanders and the gathered general staff to announce your saviours you realise you never asked his name. You do so, most humbly and respectfully. His voice is warm and kind as he softly states "Oh, just call me Alpharius."

True horror is the people that are gonna put your plushy in a Jar!

The Demonculaba, if any one thing sums up how Grim Dark 40k can be there ya go. Dude your an Aussie you would have to be insane to like spiders down under. 7/10 of the worlds deadliest spiders live there.

Love how often you put out high quality warhammer vids. Also, a lore video on kastelan robots would be cool! Keep up the good work man

When you really think about it humanity's very existence is dependent on beings who were once human but then augmented to be super soldier demigods. Much like Horus and Konrad show, it's pretty easy to develop a God complex. Pretty sure Horus saw humanity overall as weak, if they didn't depend on the warp. I mean think about it. Your existence depends on these beings having a sense morality and that they will be humanitarians. The amount of civilian casualties at any point is insane.

God Titus Endors end is so tragic. I remember listening to the story on tape and just being blown away by the quality of the writing and the themes and plot. I honestly think that if Abnett adapted the story to modern times and made it not warhammer and not scifi, but instead like about a retired police detective suffering from alzheimers or something similar, he would get mad props from the mainstream literary community.

Hey MajorKill! Your video editing skills are amazing and I’ve been following for a few months now, the quality of these videos just keeps getting better and better!

that inquisitor story and as you said the way it was written and structured is really, really depressing

I was horrified when the inquisitor was lusting after some genestealer gussy.

From what I recall, the reason that people still use the Halo Devices is because about one in ten of them give all the benefits with none of the side effects, and there's always some planetary governor with more money than sense willing to risk a 90% chance of becoming a cannibalistic bug monster for a 10% chance of becoming a super-buff demigod. Also, my favourite piece of 40k horror: I can't remember what it's called, but there was a sealed portal in Commoragh that led to some other realm. Towards the end of the 41st millennium, a group of alarmed Dark Eldar informed Asdrubael Vect that something had started knocking on the other side. The Incubi that Vect set to guard the portal all killed each other and scrawled "LET US IN" on the walls with their own blood. As a rather amusing footnote, Vect then "generously" awarded the district of Commoragh directly above the portal to some of his arch rivals.

"The Bookkeepper's Skull" is a nice bit of spooky gimrdark. Trouble with the Black Library and the Warhammer Horror books is they mix the fantasy and 40k stuff in so sometimes you don't know what you're getting.

Horror would be understanding The Emperor's situation pre-Great-Rift. He can hear _every_ plea for his mercy and protection from his quadrillions of suffering people, and if he stops his current duties to assist almost _any_ of them, he knows that _all of them_ are doomed to horrible deaths and _worse_ afterlifes because of the fact that he is _very_ finite. Plus, this whole time he is experiencing the pain of stubbing his little toe on a doorframe, except about fifty times worse, and in every single cell of his shriveled husk... for ten millennia.

Love how you handled the shield falling off at the start. Really well done.

Great video thank you so much please keep up your amazing work and have a wonderful and blessed day

i recently finished the deacon of wounds and my god that was by far the darkest 40k story ive ever heard. really showed the true nightmare of a nurgle incursion.

I think the “scariest” thing I’ve read/seen in 40k was during the 8th Horus Heresy book where Wsoric takes over the helm mistresses, just the way it was described and how wsoric broke from her skin was creeping me out😂

12:05 "Aaah, fresh meat!" - The Butcher from Diablo

Trying to beat the trans trex is like trying to beat a Ferrus Manus in an arm wrestle

Mate time to go to bed as a fellow Australian it's lie 2 in the morning

One word: *Demonculaba*

If I had a penny for every time I watch a “how did it come to this” in a 40k story, I could afford a house.

I loved when I first heard about the horror of the ghoul stars and how it was the most horrific place in the galaxy and nearly every faction avoided, I was surprised when I heard even the tyranids avoid it. Then I heard that 1 space marine chapter actually ventured into there and I went “oh really? Which chapter?” And as soon as I heard it was the black Templar’s I just rolled my eyes and went “of fucking course…”

I’d certainly like to see more on this subject. Thanks for the hard work I subscribed so I’d see when you would post your new content your not to bad at all

thanks for doing this bit. Always was interested in knowing more about the NEMESIS story, but wasnt ready to add onto my growing reading list

Lol, those T-rexes, that actually almost made me crash my car.

The curious case of endor is oneof saddest and scariest stories I've ever read

One of the most horrifying moments in 40k to me was, when Horus assembled all the rememberancers on the Vengeful Spirit, showed them him destroying Istvaan with chemical super weapons, then turned his elite vanguard on them. Just imagine entering that room and slowly realizing what is unfolding before your eyes as 8 ft tall chaos tainted super killers commence to bludgeon, impale, chop, and explode your coworkers and then squash you into a bloody pulp!! That’s horror!

In the Alpharius novel there's a part where Alpharius first encounters the Slaught. Looking at them strikes fear not only into his men, notably some of his most experienced veterans and terminators, but almost kills his librarian when he just barely mind-touches one of them by accident. Alpharius, a Primarch, is horrified by them, even though he is able to beat several of them in single combat later on. But something takes makes a Primarch stop and reconsider his choices in horror is certainly f-ed up.

random bonus fact: In the Event of the necron toomb exploration on Simia Orichalcae the already stationiered Techpriest found the Necron toomb first and whilst chad ciaphas cain the Valhallans of the 597 and jurgen explored the cave/toomb complex they found multiple techpriest limps/adjustments of the techpriest scattered around and even one young techpriest apprentince hiding in some lone corner and praying to the omnisiah to let him survive this

I always felt that Jurgen being a Blank works both ways. It nulls out Warp-related effects, and Pariahs does the OPPOSITE of a Psyker, so theoreticall speaking Jurgen's abilities should also work here by nulling out the horror-sensation.

just watched thr promised neverland s2 and man this is so much less fucked up than the "lab" there ngl

Majorkill...Bring back Timmy!

Imagine an Archwarhammer plushie. THATS horror

I’d say that Child god from really old fantasy lore resides in either the well or the Halo Stars. Hidden away because the Chaos gods feared it so much

Khorne demands more plushies

Those t-rexes are so low effort, lol.

''I'm not a fan of spiders'' *lives in australia*

The Astartes project is one of few pieces of media that does Lovecraftian horror well.

I'm trying to find the story where a poor imperial was turned inside out over and over swimming in its own juices just so Typhus (or some worshipper of nurgle i couldn't recall) could commune with Nurgle. Using the perpetual suffering of the dude as internet connection. Just don't know the name of the source or the book this came from, anyone know?

I would not be against a 40k horror survival game about a hive city brat trying to survive a chaos incursion while a night lord neophyte tries to hunt them down

"Trayzyn is like an immortal Ash Ketchum" As opposed to regular Ash Ketchum the unaging

In all honestly alot of the minor xenos feel actually more alien than the Orks and eldar in 40k. Like if 40k was just a story and not a table top game said minor xenos would be the real treats to humanity. I never imagine elves would be into space travel out of all the humanoid alien species.

Can u do a video on the sanguinary guard?

I guess in, well of eternity some most powerful old ones just hanging around and waiting for everything to die out and reset so they can start over again lol

Just gonna take a hot minute to say this content only gets better. I like that shit, keep it up!

40k and based has my sub

I am usually mentally dulled from horror and graphic content (thanks early days PewDiePie) and I am on heretic side when it comes to Warhammer 40k and Fantasy. But stories of Daemonculaba and Conrad Kurze's Screaming Gallery are the worst fvcking things I've ever read about in all of my adult years. Absolute peaks of human creativity for all things horrifying since Apostles from Berserk.

I guess when you literally grow up in a cabin in the woods most horror loses it's luster. Ever meet a mose at night when all toy have is a phones light? That shits scary.

You never fail at making me laugh. No matter how bad my day has been or how depressed and angry I might be watching your videos always makes me feel better.

To be fair, I think the Black Library Horror books are pretty decent, too.

I think the book Death World is good and horrifying. The planet it self is evolving the kill the invaders. Reminds me of the movie Annihilation.

I think the scariest moment in a Warhammer book that I have read about was in the third part of the first Horus Heresy book. When they get to the mountains in the planet they are taking over, and they hear the name Sammus being broadcasted over their vox. The rest of that book was legitimately terrifying.

PRIDE MONTH IS OVER BOYS LETS GET THOSE DINOS!!!!

I totally agree with you about the Halo Stars and the well of eternity. GW should let its writers venture into those places one day. So that there is a new and fresh faction in the Galaxy. One that embodies true darkness and horror! It would be a perfect answer to the tyranid main fleet that is approaching the Galaxy. As for the Rangdan, I too believe that they are related to the Halo Stars. And also, that the lost primarchs have something to do with that xenocide.

12:00 - The halo devices make sense to me, in the grimdark universe the chances of you making it to the end of the week let alone old age is a massive spin of luck, chance and a teeny bit of skill. But having all of that power and abilities to change your life and "live it up" for a few years before everything comes apart? It's still madness but I can see the "logic" that people would follow to get to that situation lol 😅😂

Love this channel. I’ve learnt a fuck tonne of information about 40k lore through your insightful videos. Your video on plague marines was funny as fuck.

Yeah,, good shit!! More of these would be awesome.

Day 2 of petitioning for you to make an alternate heresy.

good to hear about the plushie project, great job!

Endor's story is just the most horrific, and that storyline can fit just about anywhere at any time period.

I really dug this one. Good job my dude

We still await the coming of majorkills only female viewer It will be a legendary moment in this channels history

I remember reading an IG story where a guardsman came face to face with a Tyranid Zoanthrope; his mind rolled back into a black overwhelming oblivion and it was described as being lost in an ocean of black, and then the Hive Mind, this unfathomable thing came out of the dark and took the man into Oblivion and the man died immediately in the physical world.

Wow, I think this is the first time in KZfaq history that the long answer to a 40k lore question is a Majorkill video.

My first player character in Dark Heresy got his hands on a halo device and is now the BBEG for an Ascension campaign. Easily my favorite Xenos item

Those transcontinental t-rex’s stand no chance.

I have a friend who might really like the Trans-Rex, thanks for advertising that!

Imagine having cerebal worms and then puting a halo device into your body. Problem fixed. Bonus: Chaos Space Marines need potent recruits.

MAJOR, SIR! Wow! Your new visual is incredible! Love the blurred background and camera close up on you!!! Damn you're beautiful. :D

I want a SCP Warhammer 40k Crossover. With all the weird, stupid stuff going on in the 41st Millennium, the Anomalies from the SCP Foundation would fit right in. I'd like to see a Story about an Inquisitor, or something along those lines, from a branch that exclusively deals with Anomalies. That could be entertaining.

I really hope you overcame your nemesis, the great trans-rex

3 monsters worthy of purging

The moment that the emperor calls out Nurgle in his Manse. This always struck me as some of the best cosmic horror writing in 40k. It hits that spot that if you imagine seeing that shit in a fever dream, you would 100% wake up in a cold sweat. It hits that perfect spot of seeing something reasonably mundane, but you KNOW it is something horrible and incomprehensible. It's just an old, junk house in the middle of a swamp, but at the same time you know why lurks there, but cant see it. Then the stars begin wheeling overhead, the door swings open just a crack and you know you are being watched, and whatever is watching you is looking into your soul. The swamp is noisesome and foggy, and the fog begins to push in on you, and the sounds of the forest go silent, and you know everything that lives there knows you, and is watching, but is unseen. It plays off the specific dread of knowing exactly what is there, but also, knowing absolutely nothing about it.
