"We'll take you seriously when you actually have a good reason to fall. So, never."

Lamenters are the true chads. Stacked against the worst luck you could give to a monster slaying space warband, they still retained their humanity and their soul.

"As Dorn would say: No."

There is a lamenters Audio book about a lamenter taken prisoner on a chaos ship after his squad was eradicated. It starts with what one would think to be a kammerspiel in the interigation Chamber And it suddenly becomes a fucking suspensfull horror movie wjen the lamenter goes balistik

And inscribed on the banner all the Lamenter's achievements, and the name of the greatest on the chapter. Plus only a selected few sororitas were allowed to see and work on the banner. The same standart was anointed and blessed before being returned to the Lamenters.

Holy shit that's epic

Wow. You know your misfortunes are way above acceptable when the organization known for purging enemies in fanaticism and flame feels such genuine pity and sympathy for you.

let's let that sink in for nine seconds: The lamenters' banner. Made. Weep. The. Sororitas. When. They. Were. Crafting. IT epic and sad af

Didn't they cry because the Sisters were thinking of how many "sins" the Lamenters had committed against the Emperor of Mankind for their involvement in the Badab War?

Even more kind than the salamanders?

Still got the Salamanders.

Yes. They cared more than the Salamanders. *AND I WILL DIE ON THAT HILL.*

Actually according to the 8th edition Codex they survived but got fucked real hard. Last information we got is that they’ve been rebuilding the chapter with primaris

@@PelinalWhitestrake36 So they caught a lucky break in the form of getting the upgraded version of space Marines

The sad part is even Vulkan may not have enough hugs to give the Lamenters for all they've gone through

@@lsamaknight Sad, but most likely true.

I really wanna see that lmao

To be fair, when that happens, there won't be many to go hug.

I think Vulkan have better things to do like burning innocent Eldar children

The fact it’s actually lore about the Slaughter makes it so depressing. The civilians asked for them to blow them up and since it would be better to die than the be enslaved again by the Orks. The Lamenters pleaded to give them a chance at saving them, then after that the Lamenters started to see the situation as helpless and eventually they took on the idea of the civilians. They could’ve of left and bombed the civilians but instead they decided to die with them. The Lamenters are the heroes of the 40k universe idc what anyone says.

what a curse they fail on the quick death

So the story of it is sadder. Essentially the humans were slaves to the Orks. The Lamenters then went on a mission to rescue all the humans but after defeating the Orks, they realized their ships didn't have enough capacity to shuttle all the humans. So the humans, who were honestly chads, said something along the lines of "You know what, you've done so much for us, leave us behind, it matters more that you leave". At first the Lamenters were against it, but like most things, the Orks kept on coming and so decided to place explosives in the mines of slaughterhouse and evacuate as many civilians as they could, which was only about 15% of the slaves the Orks had. Eventually blowing the planet up.

@@Rogerv1032 And the reason they did not have enough space in the ships is because nobody expected the lamenters to manage to successfully invade an entire planet full of orcs and free most of the slaves. It was seen as a suicide mission of little importance by other Astartes chapters nearby who had already given up on saving the civilians.

Since this is Warhammer after all, that is entirely possible. In all likelihood, Tzeentch orchestrated the entire cursed foundation and everything the lamenters suffered through.

The bargain Papa Smurf made to make the Ultramarines into the greatest/luckiest/plot armoriest chapter around clearly did so by stealing ALL the luck from the Lamenters.

They are the imperiums very finest astartes chapter

@@rileysimpson6536 I would say the Lamenters are the only Space Marine Chapter the Death Corp could ever truly respect. No other chapter has known the depths of HUMAN despair like them and still stood with humanity. Either a chapter has evaded fates that would break them that hard, been outright destroyed, or fallen to Chaos. They are rather ironically the best metaphor for humanity in W40K: mercilessly assailed from all sides, hated universally (as often for reasons beyond their control as not), constantly savaged, constantly whittled away, yet NEVER, EVER broken.

@@ferrusmanus4013 Dammit your dead, go away Ferrus with your big ghosty head.

Hopefully he can give them some new weapons and reinforcements

It's one of the cooler bits of Badab War fluff for sure. They participated in an Imperial crusade together with several other notable Chapters, including the Ultramarines themselves, and volunteered to raid an important production-planet in the Ork empire they were wrecking (in order to pre-empt a WAAAGH!). Calgar said they wouldn't get any support since it was so far behind enemy lines, they said OK and went on ahead. Bing bang boom, typical marine stuff went down, and then they found themselves faced with a real dilemma. Ork reinforcements were pouring in, and the planet they were on had tons of slave labourers on it. They ended up fighting of multiple waves of Ork counter-attackers both in space and on the ground, before being asked to leave by the remaining un-evacuated slaves who didn't want the Lamenters to get wiped out for their sake. So the survivours fought their way free, detonating the mines and killing those left behind. On limping back to the main crusade forces, Calgar was mightily impressed by their heroism and wanted to give them an iron halo in an elaborate ceremony - not just a rare piece of wargear, but an incredible honour to receive one of the highest merits from one of the highest-ranked people in the Imperium. The Lamenters declined the honour (near unprecedented as declining it was), because they felt they hadn't earned it nor lived up to their own ideals. Predictably, this earned them even more critics and even more suspicion, as people in the crusade and well beyond interpreted it as an open insult to Calgar - made even more insulting considering the exalted status of the Ultramarines and the low status of the Lamenters (a Cursed Founding Chapter who only participated in the crusade because the Ultramarines had saved them at Corillia 2000 years earlier).

Add to that that the Lamenters are one of the only chapters that could actually be called “good guys” in a universe that isn’t complete gone to hell and where just about everyone is some flavor of evil. Like...them, the Salamanders, and the Celestial Lions maybe? Maybe the current wolves, but only in a Byronic hero seeking redemption sort of way if at all. Most of the Space Marines are heroes by comparison to Chaos and Orks and Tyranids and Necrons....the Lamenters are legitimately heroic.

I don't think the Grey Knights would ever go renegade. But yes, I guess I'm saying that the Lamenters have the same unshakable faith as the Grey Knights.

*a storm of tears then happens*

The video isn't WHY they are cursed, but more on HOW they are cursed. I believe the Lamenters are the 40k version of 'No good deed goes unpunished' personified. The 40k universe is so grimdark that it will literally curse anyone that dares be a hero or make things better.

I feel like that's dumbing down the bad luck a lot. Other chapters have similar attitudes, but they get chances to recover. The two seperate catastrophic ship failures thing alone is clearly meant to say: "hey, these guys are fucked". Stuff like that doesn't happen to the Salamanders or Space Wolves.

Their ship suffered a drive failure. Not going through the warp, not a warp drive failure, a regular flying through space drive failure that destroyed the whole ship. That's practically unheard of and it happened to them.

Once he is finished Lamenting uncontrollably

Comment by TheRiolumon, 5 months ago on Lamenters by StringStorm Emperor: So who are these Lamenters I keep hearing about? Kitten: Oh the Lamenters? They are a chapter who are descended from the Blood Angels. Emperor: From my sweet boy Senguiny. Kitten: Y-yes. They are a bit of a.... well they are not exactly a very loved chapter. Rumors circulated around them have gone so out of hand it’s damaged their reputation among the other chapters. They believe they are cursed because they have had what you would call in your words my lord “extreme shit luck”. They have been decimated time and time again. It’s a miracle they even survived for so long. Emperor: I don’t want any of that double standard bs from my other children who literally throw their own ships at their enemies just to get that kamikaze kill. Had turn on eye camera film while banana head was speaking looking at them right now and they just look like total lemon boys. Though seeing as their names are “Lemon-tors” makes sense. Kitten: Yeah but here is the thing my lord. Despite the rumors of them being cursed they are one of the most kindest chapters in the imperium second only to the salamanders. They have been known to fly to isolated civilian colonies and fight till their dying breath that every civilian is evacuated from the xeno invaders. Emperor: so the lemon boys are trying to make up for the rumors with their actions. Unsurprising. But not unappreciated. Kitten: I agree my lord. There was one battle where they were left alone by another chapter called the “Mortifactors” during the 9th black crusade on corellia. Claiming that they don’t want to be anywhere near these “cursed” individuals. Emperor: I’m gonna put a pin in that chapter topic for now and just say that sounds like a really fucking edgy chapter. Also. I understand that if the space marines value their life as I do not wish for any of them to die recklessly for me, Except maybe those fucking smurfs. But leaving another chapter of brothers alone to fight a whole crusade by themselves over some fucking bad luck is just fucking despicably cowardly. So what happened to the lemon boys? Kitten: They fought like it was their last battle, making sure every civilian was safe. It was said that for every marine that died. A family was saved or an orphan, and 10 demons died with the said killed marine. It wasn’t until the white scars and the ultramarines came to save the day turning the tide. Emperor: Because the only way to win a losing battle is to use cheats like the fucking smurfs do. Kitten: After the battle only a hundred of the Lamenters were left, their entire chapter was there and they were devastated by the ensuing battle. They were soon to be called the “yellow pawns” as a reference to their check board on their shoulder pads and them of course being colored yellow. Emperor: I gotta say them some ballsy pawns for fighting off those chaos spawns and heretics. Kitten: Though after the battle they left the planet, but soon ended up being in a warp drift on their way home and didn’t appear till thousands of years later. Not only did they survive the warp fighting their whole way back tooth and nail. but they still had enough marines to rebuild their chapter to full strength. Emperor: It’s as if these lemon boys are like the polar opposites of the smurfs. Instead of winning every battle without any casualties these marines nearly lose every battle with high as fuck casualties. Still I can not deny that they do a very good job at what they do and should say I am very proud of them trying so hard to prove them selves. Still I think they should be cut a break now. Because the way they literally sacrifice themselves for the imperium every battle is just fucking depressing. I want you to message their chapter master and tell them to recall all lemon boys. And instead have these Mortifuckers start doing their jobs till the lemon boys have proper time to rest and boost their stats and maybe even have some peace and quiet. See how they like it when being put on “baby protect and/or be killed” duty. And if any of them think of disobeying they will not only be threatened as a traitor of the whole of imperium but there' entire chapter will be excluded. I do not fucking care what they do before.

I mean the Salamanders does things fine

What they go through normally for any other chapter it would be a glorious Last stand a final battle to be remembered in the halls of glory, for the Lamenters it would just be another Tuesday

Even then the Salamanders are the knights of the Imperium

ciaphas took all the luck

This needs to be super cannon

Icing on the cake would be them being requested to stay on Terra close to the the Emperor lol

“Clutching their weapons desperately, thinking they have to fight the Custodes this time” This statement gives vibes that I can only articulate with a full description: It’s like the character in a story that has been through so many betrayals and beatings from supposed allies for the hell of it. Then later on down the line someone genuinely tries to give them a reassuring gesture like a pat on the shoulder, a hug or even an arm grip to help them get ahold of themselves when things are dicey… And their first response is a violent full-body *flinch* away from physical contact. Just… actually really heartbreaking…

@@TimeCircleBlue This is the best description for the Lamenters.

@@TimeCircleBlue Christ that is incredibly tragic to the actual point where i visualize it and shed a tear about it too- holy crap.

And we know damn well that they go 'fuck that, we're still for the Imperium'.

That would be the fan-made Dornian Heresy, where he fell to Papa Nurgle And with their luck, they'd probably go Black Rage while fighting off their corrupted kin

I think they'd just give themselves the Emperor's peace....

Oh yes, the dying dream ending.

So basically Vulkan would be the one to save them? Followed by giving them giant hugs?

@@spongeyspikes09 that and their chapter is presented with official Aquilla emblems to wear as personal heraldry in recognition of their service to the Emperor and the Imperium as a whole. Something tiny and slightly pathetic, but still nice, like getting that thumbs up and approval from dad that you've always strived for, but never been able to achieve

It's actually *not*, which is the most insane thing about them. Despite getting absolutely shat on at every turn, the Lamenters are, BAR NONE, the nicest and most heroic space marines out there. Even the Salamanders take second place to these guys. They are the heroes 40k absolutely DOES NOT deserve, and it hates them for it.

Any time somebody doesn't get that 40k isn't really meant to be taken seriously, I point out that the only unambiguous good guys in the setting are subject to ceaseless cosmic kicks in the balls, and that their symbol is a literal bleeding heart.

Sure that's not valid for pretty much everyone else?

That's Humanity in 40k.

i hope there could be something to give them a bit of hope they've been though soo much

There is one good thing though. Roubute demanded they get Primaris reinforcements, and a ship of Lamenters came back from the Warp, all coalescing together to rebuild the Lamenters. For those we cherish, we die in glory

I just want Vulkan to show up and give them one of his hugs and be their friend.

one long hug for each marine, accompanied by pillows, hot chocolate and the best couches providable is the least they deserve!

I read that entirely in Vulkan's voice and even my dead heart was touched.

Nah, I think the ultrasmurfs got it. Gotta say, though, Cain + Lamenters on an adventure would be fucking outstanding. People tend to forget that Cain's luck cuts both ways - he gets out of some unreasonable shit, but he also ends up in the middle of like three unrelated plots simultaneously. Him along with the Lamenters would pretty much guarantee whatever they were doing immediately went wrong, but Lamenter tenacity plus Cain's ability to luckily unfuck himself would be amazing to see combined.

@@halykan It'd be a Red Letter Day where the Lamenters only take a SINGLE casualty instead of 2/3s their entire fucking chapter thanks to Cain EXPERTLY (Read: Accidentally) catching the Gellar Field Failure before it could kick in and set up an excellent stopgap (Read: Duct Tape and Glue) that the Astropaths can get the ship out of the Warp, the one casualty being from a seperate failure taking out the lights in the room.

They are the story we need not always the story we wanted. That no matter how dark things get it's possible to keep fighting and moving forward without losing your humanity. Even as a giant genetically engineered super human fighting deamons in super hell.

man.. that make me cry

my eyes are sweating by reading this

"For those we cherish... we die in glory"

I mean given Lamenter luck that wouldn't surprise me, that one unlucky fucking marine that survives everything just to get kicked again.

Considering he lost all his limbs and the story ended in the belly of a Tyranid, I don't think his company's coming back from that one, unfortunately. Probably why E started crying instead of doing something, that company is already long gone.

@@xXFuzzeeXx the lamentors did get primaris reinforcements if I recall, so if he's still aroudn they'd be back to suffer some more.

@@deathpope3922 And a lamentors ship came back from the warp and there is that one dreadnought on permanent loan to the deathwatch.

Given the (comparatively) short time they happened in, that is in no way outside the realm of possibility in 40k.

I mean, his dad is crying...

I imagine such a game would end similarly to Halo Reach, with an unwinnable last stand. Objective: Survive

Nah, they're gonna add in the ultrasmurfs at the last minute to save the day.

Don't remind me about those poor lads, they never saw it coming.

don't forget that the chapter master was killed off since the crazed dickbags were still salty about the Lions

Ork sniper are real? I all ways jused used Ork sniper as a way to threaten my squads comisar in Role play games.

@@Andrewza1 No, they aren't real: the in-lore thing was that the Celestial Lions chapter pissed off the Inquisition after they complained about the civilian deaths, the Inquisition called up some Vindicares to kill the command structure and Apothecaries, then chalked up the mass casualties as "Ork snipers" while making the whole thing an implicit threat to any Chapter that bitched about them killing civilians.

Rogal would blow up if he even heard a notice about them and that incident.

Knowing our luck? It would probably have a heart attack from sadness.

Maybe when the Inquisition exits the warp Starperor will meet them and save them from Tendril Kraken

The fact they’re especially hard to paint only makes this more painful.

What about the Fire Hawks? I don't even know what founding they are but becoming warp ghosts isn't great.

Minotaurs aren't that bad when compared to the Carcharodons. [The Minotaurs honorably allowed the wounded marines to live, the space sharks would have executed any wounded lamenter.]

@@bgcvetan then why did the carcharadons leave the mantis warriors alive? The only Lamenters that survived the siege against the minotaurs were the ones that couldn’t fight.

@@DGneoseeker1 becoming g the Legion of Damned makes up for it

So, they're the inverse of the Ultramarines?

I think a much closer biblical analogy is the story of Job. The Lamenters pretty much personify that one.

@@datnoob4394 I can see that happening maybe a little too easily...

@@Gantradies That would be wholesome

@@Gantradies I blame that blue squid fuck with un-typeable name.

My favourite part if it all, that despite the fact that they were outnumbered, they still inflicted very heavy casualties on them before they were forced to surrender. Keep in mind, the Minotaurs specialise in fighting other Astartes, so if the outnumbered and outgunned Lamenters were able to inflict heavy losses upon them, then imagine if the Unlucky bois were at full chapter strength!

@@Commodore22345 Eh, the Lamenters were sort of in the dark about what Huron was really up to, they thought they were just helping their bros.

@@Commodore22345 good soldiers dont always follow orders.

@@Commodore22345 I think you're missing the point as well. They weren't looking to be independent of the general Imperial Hierarchy, they thought, at least from what I read, that the INQUISITION was looking to put them under their boot, not the boot of the Imperium at large. Also please tell me you're not on the side of the Inquisition for the Months of Shame? They're the ones who got themselves in that situation in the first place. The Space Wolves didn't even start the fighting until the Inquisition ambushed the fleet of the Space Wolf when they claimed they just wanted to negotiate.

@@Commodore22345 I understand what you are saying, but you have to see where they are coming from their own point of view. They are super humans created by the God Emperor to be physically and mentally superior to your standard human. To be under the command of simple fallible human would be a slap in the face for a fair few of them. As far as they are concerned only the Emperor or their progenitor Primarch would have the right to command them to do anything. Also, again, it was by will of the Emperor that Astartes be separate from the other military forces. It's why the Astra Militarum and the Adeptus Astartes are separate entities. And last of all, chapters do listen to the Munitorum a lot of the time. Who do you think placed the Lamenters at the Malestrom in the first place? The Lamenters would have definitely preferred to hang out at the fringes of the galaxy where there were no Tyranids, Orks or Chaos in the first place. It's mostly the First Founding chapters that have this attitude of request not demand in the first place as well... or chapters with an ego as great as the Founding chapters in the firs place.

the fan animators are the lamenters, and big e is us

@@redenginner "Ultra comforting"

The red terror is a tyranid

And YET they are still going on and kicking asses. Becouse remember - they are still Space Marines. If someone kicked their asses so hard, but they are still there fighting, then they had to somehow win. Just IMAGING how hard were asses of the thing that tried to kicked their asses kicked.

The irony about the mortifactors abandoning the lamenters? They saw in the tarots that a catastrophy will haunt them and they assumed it´ll be because of the lamenters. Little did they know it was a fucking eldar host sneaking a damn webway gate right in their monastery! Karma bit the Mortifactors for abandoning the good bois. It bit them HARD. Though knowing those guys they just went "LOOKS LIKE ELDARS BACK ON THE MENU BOYS!" then murdered and ate them.

...maybe we're seeing his weeping spirit right before similarly-weeping emps drags him out of the warp in an attempt to FORCE the universe to give some of the people he actually LIKES/genuinely respects even without his empathy, a SINGLE,measly little break without the indecisive mollusk fucking with it?

Actually, there is a Lamenters dreadnought in the Deathwatch that genuinely believe he is the last Lamenters alive (sorta), so his only joy in life is to kill in the memory of his bretherns before going back to sleep.

The Inquisitor didn't take kindly to that so he ordered for them to be covertly destroyed.
