The real reason the Watchers never show their face is because their skin care routine is trash Don't be a watcher, get Geologie for 70% off here : thld.co/geologie_majorkill70_1222 Otherwise the minis are here : www.majorminis.com.au/ Chrissy merch is here : www.majorkill.shop/ Patreon is here : www.patreon.com/majorkill

I recently discovered a new favorite trope: Little guys who are secretly eldritch horrors. -The Watchers In The Dark. -The knight from Hollow knight. -Kirby.

The watchers in the dark are just the seven dwarfs waiting for cipher to come Kiss the princess/ the lion

"All evil can be fought" -A Watcher responding to Zahariel asking if chaos can be resisted. For some reason that line always stuck with me.

I like to think the Watchers are/were a early creation of the Old Ones. As like sentient pets or servants. Then the survivors fled to Caliban after the War in Heaven

I loved these little guys when I learned of their existence. They add quite the flavor to the Dark Angels.

i love the idea of some little robed fella waddling after a dark angel with a sword in his hands that is twice the size he is

I'd like to imagine a named character being on a dark angel ship for some mission or something, and a watcher just walks in and walks out and all the astarties are like "you feeling OK? Little space man? You should lay down"

the watchers are so obscure they could be the old ones and it would never be known

Something to note about the watchers: apparently they can only exist within a certain radius of Caliban itself, that's why they don't leave the Rock, and that's why when they accompany someone on a mission, said someone usually have a relic of Caliban on them.

I wonder what would happen if a harlequin ran into a watcher? Would the harlequin realize it just encountered a problem or would they try to have a laugh?

Watchers in the Dark are the perfect companions for the Dark Angels. They're small so they don't get in the way, they're quiet so they won't say anything you don't want said(like with the fallen), and they're absolutely adorable to look at with their big robes and handling weapons twice their size.

Funny how in HHL they’re classed as a ‘’Chaos’ Infantry’ units so I’m wondering why they’re assisting the duplicitous legion and not the Loyalist Alpha legion

Considering the emperor is super close with The Lion and let's him in on knowledge he doesn't share with many others, it's easy to assume the emperor has met one of the watchers in the dark. Point being, what did that meeting look like?

If Vulkan found out he would pet and hug them

As cool as a officially returned DA Legion would be: I don't see the Lion forgiving Luthor when/if they meet. Luthors last memory (if I recall correctly) is the furious and ragefuelled face of his adopted son, so... yeah, doesn't seem like El'Jonson was in the mood to give any more foregiveness beyond a sword through Luthors neck.

Watchers appeared to Zahariel before he killed the Calabanite lion. He went searching in their neck of the woods and they essentially said “no trespassing, your quarry is that way”.

The only one that gets hurt is Azrael's when he kicks it after he gets frustrated at it for talking. Also obligatory asking Majorkill for a Mini of the late Old Man.

Watchers in the dark Certified short kings👑

Mysteries are the spice of a setting ! I’ve got this fancy that they’re waiting for the right moment to « recreate » a Caliban protected by reunified D.A. To replace Cadia as fortress against the eye of terror.

Not only did you predict The Lion would be the next returning primarch, you guessed his mission to unite The Fallen, too.

Changling: im gonna cause pure insanaty on the rock *turns a corner* Changling: yes my lates vic.... Watcher: hi there Changling: OH shit Watcher: you best run boy

The watchers in my head cannon are the eyes and ears of the old ones. The remaining old ones being too cautious about being active in the galaxy so they act through proxies with the watchers being there because perhaps the old ones see something significant in the Lion's future and they want the watchers to ensure he can reach whatever destiny awaits him.

"Where it stopped. A shudder - a rare sensation - ran down the Changeling’s borrowed spine, the shadow of an instinctive reaction born from its time wearing mortal flesh. Skin prickled and the servos in the illusion of its power armour whirred as its fists clenched. Around it, for the first time since it had set events in motion, Fate buckled There was something at the far end of the cell corridor. The Changeling could not so much see it as sense the absence of the aether around it. To the daemon’s warp-sight, the thing was really an un-thing, a black void without tangible thoughts or emotions to define it. The daemon tried to look upon the un-thing with Azrael’s flesh-eyes. It was diminutive in size, its form hidden beneath the thick folds of a bone-coloured cloak, as though in imitation of the Lion’s sons. The shadows beneath its deep cowl were utterly impenetrable, as dark to mortal eyes as its soul-presence was to the Changeling’s warp vision. It did not move. It did not have to. The Changeling found itself taking a step back, the daemon’s flesh quivering. Fear was something the Changeling could not feel, only feed upon, but the sight of the un-thing watching him from the shadows caused the daemon an indefinable, icy discomfort. The Changeling could not stay here. It could go no further. This part of the wider plan was unnecessary anyway, a mere addendum to the ritual that would carry the daemonic trickster away, and drag the Lions with it. The Changeling doubled back the way it had come, the cells untouched. Fate’s weave morphed, the future a newborn, fresh entity." ​

Majorkill: they are a Eldrich Horror and super OP My sister: I would give them Headpats

Only Xenos Humanity can work with, they actually saved Dark Angels and the Lion El Johnson.

Just imagine a rpg set on Caliban where you play as a knight right before the space marines arrive and you basically get to experience imperial colonization and space marine recruitment first hand as your end goal is to join the Marines and fight for glory

The Watchers in the Dark are the Seven Dwarfs and Lion El'Jonson is Space Snow White.

Vulkan upon meeting the Watchers in the Dark: “I would like to pet and hug this creature.” Lion who know what the watchers are and what they are capable of: *genuine fear mixed with brotherly concern* “Do not that, Vulkan.”

3:48 slight correction, the Watchers actually appeared to Zahariel before he killed the Calibanite Lion. They semi-told him where he could find it as he was venturing deeper into the Northwilds where he would surely have either died or been corrupted.

I like to imagine a watcher in a dark just putting a very large Astarte grade coffee mug on a astartes desk . Fucking steps leading up to the desk then receiving head scratches.

The dudes brushing the Lion's hair while he's asleep.

I love that scene where the changeling comes face to face with one and Is absolutely terrified of it.

Always a good day when a new MajorKill drops, makes working this 5-3 almost worth it. Cheers mate

*Team of Eldar the infiltrated the Rock* Farseerer: “Where’s the eldritch creature you warned about, behind the little green hooded guy” Solitaire: “It is the little green hooded guys.” Archon: “You bastard!” Solitaire: “What?” Harlequin: “You got us all worked up. Over a small Mon Keigh!” Solitaire: “That’s no Mon Keigh. That’s the most foul, ancient, and powerful eldritch creature you ever set eyes on.” Archon: “What’s it gonna do, nibble your kneecaps?” Solitaire: “I’m warning you!” Farseer: “Yeah right, Maugen, Lelith, go kill it.” *Maugen Ra and Lelith Hesperax approach the watcher in the dark* Solitaire: “Look…” Lelith: *gets one shotted* Maugen: *gets one shotted*

Here from the future where the Lion returns. Good to finally know what those little guys on the Lion's Miniature are, I thought they were human the first time I saw them.

I think video about Ragnar Blackmane could be really cool, his character is pretty interesting and Space Wolves don't have many videos in the channel

Inquisitor seeing a Watcher: "Is that a...?" Dark Angel: "A pygmy, yes"

"OF. ALL. THE. WATCHERS. ON. THE. ROCK. WHY. DO. I. GET. ONE. THAT. TALKS!"

There are fallen who are 100% chaos, fallen who are loyal to no one and fallen who are still loyal to the emperor.

Day twenty three of asking majorkill to compare Abbadon and Archaeon

the watchers could be blank demons it sounds impossible but nothing is impossible in warhammer

So The Watchers are pretty much just stray cats that hang around occasionally catches a rat or two in the house but mostly hang around for the food.

You’ve got no idea how much I’ve been wanting this video. I haven’t known what these little dudes are called but they’re in all of these Dark Angel models. I’ve literally been searching for WEEKS

What do you think about them being possibly the remnants of the old ones?

Do you think to do a video about the perpetuals ?

Vulkan: I want to pet them. Corax: Aren't they Xenos? Vulkan: If they are Xenos, why are they friend-shaped?

That being said... A good bit of the Fallen have teamed upmwith Chaos.... Like a lot.

The watchers remind me of the little green cloak wearing thing from final fantasy with his little knife and lantern. At first I was like "Aww it's so cute" until it waddled over and 1 shot my party member

40k Jawas have been sneeking around the Rock stealing parts to keep the Lion's massaging water bed running for the last 10k years.

In fairness even if the inquisitors found out about the watchers, they couldn't actually kill them and would have to kill the dark angels to get at them

I always thought these adorable little things were ancient ancient xenos who were made in the ghoul stars and decided to escape it and serve dark angels instead, why them exactly, no idea everything is horrifying in the ghoul stars

could the watchers be the old ones in disguise ? powerful omnipotent beings with foresight sounds a bit like them

I imagine a new dark angel realizing he's being followed around by a Watcher and when he asks the others in a panic what's happening they just say "oh yeah, he's just vibing let him go about whatever he's doing"

Watchers in the dark = Terry Pratchetts "auditors of reality" They're almost word for word the same.

I want a friend like Watcher too 😔

I have been waiting for a video on the watchers in the dark by Majorkill

I always thought that the watchers in the dark are beings from a realm other than the warp.

I love that my grimdark sci fi knights are followed by 80s dark fantasy puppets from the Jim Henson company

I like to think "Watchers in the Dark" are a creation of the Old Ones. The fat frogs needed servants so why not create them? And after The war in Heaven ended,they could've just wandered The Galaxy,found Caliban and the rest is history.

Happy little xeno boys doing their best

Thank you for a new video before work

Yes! Been waiting on this one

Watcher in the dark, that was nickname in high school

Dark angels are my main, so they hold a special place XD

If a Dark Angel tells you there wasn't a tiny magic man in a hood, you don't even know what any of those things are

My Settron mini just arrived! Looks awesome, first non Deathwing mini! Gonna get it set up, painted and entered in your contest.

Hey Majorkill. Would you please make some lore videos on the Imperial Truth, the Imperial Creed, The Ecclesiarchy, and the High Lords of Terra? Thank you.

In our TTRPG our Dark Angel had one called Reggie

Watchers: Sup Demons: RRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Video title is my new favorite thing to call them.

I just adore the little cloak person aesthetic, jawas, watchers, keepers, anything that's just a little cloaky dude is my absolute favorite, if they have little glowing eyes from under there hoods it's just perfect

The watchers are actually the old ones and we just never realized they were that small

Watching this after the lion returned.

Every dark angel is a potential king Arthur and each gets their own little Merlin as a status symbol. It just needs to be.

Honestly I love the Dark Angels for many reasons as they are my favorite Legion/Chapter but the Watchers in the Dark are one of my absolute favorite parts of them. They are one of the most, if not the most unique aspect of any Chapter. No other has anything quite as strange, mysterious and absolutely random as the Watchers in the Dark. They are a fascinating and unique thing for the Dark Angels that nothing else has anything close to.

I can now point at Majorkill and say "Hey, I have that shirt, only it's burgundy.'

Changeling: Pity me... Watcher: FEAR ME. Tell this to your gods; when they punish you, when they stretch you out on the neutron rack: We are still here.

My headcanon is that the Watchers represent the DA players, choosing their favourite angel to be their table top captain

Been wondering about those Bois for a long time, cover them more mate 👌

Part two of Erda. Never stopping.

As always love the content! Paint competition entry otw.😈

How about “Games Workshops’s Legal History EXPLAINED By An Australian” and go over all of Games Workshops’s lawsuits? That’d be a fun video!

"Perhaps they are all those things. Or Perhaps, they're none of them." Is that you, Alpharius?

I know this isn't related to the video but I'm wondering which one is stronger a thunderwarrior or a primarus marine? The reason for asking is because a primarus marine is Supposed to be a major improvement over the normal marine. However the thunder Warrior is supposed to be strong enough to take down 3 normal marine before dying. So again I ask which is stronger?

There are people saying daddy Dorn is about to come back. Maybe even earlier than Lion

Prediction spot on!!

Does the watchers have something to do with the disappearance of Timmy?

These guys are the reason Dark Angels are my marine army. Love those little guys.

Ay, we made it to 420k subscribers... we fuckin did it lads. We hit the goal!

"The cool stuff they've done." Well, they've kept Mr. Nappies safe for 10k years

I love the Watchers. I always bring them in my army. Some call it a waste of 5 points. I call it a secret agenda! (Secretly I think they're cute and I like having them follow around their big chunky terminator buddies)

Will you make a video about the age of dusk?

Back in the days GW did a Doctor Who and Judge Dredd range they actually made subtle hints that they all exist in one setting. The Arbites are (ideological... mostly) descendants of the Adjudicator order (first established on screen in DW: Colony in Space/ Frontier in Space but later expanded in the VNAs) who in turn are descendants of the Judges of Judge Dredd. Even though the original gang of metal heads, weirdoes and anarchists behind writing large chunks of all 3 settings (pre RTD bullshit) aren't working for GW anymore a lot of the writers that are are their mentees and aprentices. Thus weird stuff like Ragnar finding a giant decapitated Dredd statue under the Navigator spire, implied appearances of the Gods of Ragnarok, the Ordo Chronos and their odd shaped drop pods and of course the Watchers (who are very reminiscent of the Time Lords in their first appearance in The War Games) keep popping up.

Looking forward to the next release being a Primaris Lieutenant, followed by Majorkill CBT.

After a League of Legends minion scores a late-game pentakill, they transcend into a Watcher in the Dark...not even that ork-planting Teemo would dare troll them after.

I love the fact that youre still using your old outro

Wait, Luther is still alive?

The watchers are the perfect opportunity to tie in the War in Heaven to the current setting and lore of 40k. Having the watchers be servants of the old ones or, *EVEN BE OLD ONES THEMSELVES* would be such a good reveal, imagine the Dark Angels being the faction that holds the most Ancient race in all of existence. Imagine an Elder arguing with a Dark Angel and the Dark Angel just says "Your creators carry our helmets around"

Perhaps they are some sort of servant to the 'warp god' that makes up part of the Lion's soul?
