Kitten-"Should we be worried about Malal trying to escape my emperor?" Emperor-"Hell no, he is a total push over, probably wrote that letter himself to make him sound more intimidating."

"The Chaos God of Chaos." Lol, I heard you like Chaos, so I put Chaos in your Chaos, so you can heresy while you heresy.

I wonder if Horus ever made that cup of cocoa for Malal.

My hyper-realistic kirby plushie cried six hundred and sixty six liters of blood for as many seconds

It's chaos. It's always chaos.

Malal: "When I get out of here, I will be the greatest Chaos God ever! I'll fuck 'em ALL UP! Just you wait... I will become RELEVANT AGAIN!" Horus: "Malal... Just stop." Squat: "You just can't keep doing this to yerself." Malal: "STOP DOUBTING ME! I WILL BECOME CANON! I WILL I WILL I WIHIHIHHIIIILL..." Horus: "Come. I'll make you some hot chocolate." Malal: "...I'd like that..." Horus: "There there, Malal...There, there..."

Malice: I shall foil the plans of any and all Chaos "gods!: Tzeentch: Just as planed

An 1100 year ritual at the end of which 11 people died? I bet when Malal appeared they said "Can we just make your sacred number 2 from now on? Also 1, 1 is a good number, 11 not so good."

its Matt wards soul.

Black hole sun Won't you come And wash away the rain...

this is why you don't shoot chaotic artifacts into the sun

The Tyrant Star is a peephole into the AOS universe. The madness comes from GW ending Warhammer Fantasy.

Sounds like an irrelevant, minor warp being going through a midlife crisis.

Why do I get the feeling that Malice is gonna be directly tied to 40k's version of The End Times?

well, Malice being involved with the Tryant Star would explain why daemons are scared of it, however I like the theory that it is connected to the Haarlock dynasty of Rogue Traders, the last one went mad over the death of his wife and went to the use the Star's power for..... something, causing all sorts of crazy time and space shit in the process

Maybe the physical manifestation of the Sixth Chaos Lord, Matt Ward!?

How did you escape the warp after Magnus teleported you there?

I love the idea of Malal making an appearance, staging a open war on the other 4 Chaos Gods who became to "stable" in their representation. A true God of eternal chaos, where it is chaos against all, even against itself. A true Beastly god... now we need more Beastmen in 40K as Malals children who hate both the non chaos and the chaos factions alike.

i think you are like the Ancient Aliens of 40k

When the Tyrant Star appears over my system: "Well this is shrakk, how am I gonna get a tan now?"

It's Malal, It's Malal the Tryant Star is the sign of his coming

I suspect it's most likely something C'Tan/Necron. But, hey... who knows. Maybe it's something entirely new to the entire universe.

personally I'm leaning towards the tyrant star being the outsider

I think it is an embodiment of Malice. I would love for GW to do something with Malice again but in 40k, and the Tryant Star sounds perfect for him and legit unnerving

I think G.W, watched Transformers G1 & decided to add Unicron just for kicks

I mean, I can see the Tyrant Star being related to the Tyranids. After all we know the TRUE Tyranid Hivefleet still hasn't reached the Galaxy yet, so the Tyrant Start could be where the Orignial Mind of the Hive Fleet the Biggest Boss brain, is peeping into the Galaxy and it has such an overwhelming Psyic effect it warps everything it's near.

Malal: I will become relevant again! Fucking Horus: Malal, you can’t keep doing this.

It's a Darksign! Toll that ancient bell in Terra, we need to wake up the Adeptus Undeadus and Adeptus Unkindlus asap!

While TTS did joke about Malal being in there, I do think about this being a “portal to nonexistence” has *some* merit to it. If someone were to be wiped off the face of existence in both the materium and the immaterium, where would they or their soul go? And, should nonexistence ever come into existence, it could make sense if a type of “k-class” reality restructuring event happened and those affected were driven mad as a result.

I keep forgetting that there are other chaos lads. I like the Malice idea. The big bad of bads.

I love the idea of a Chaos god whose sole existence is to grief the other Chaos gods

Things like this are why I love the Warhammer 40k setting. You can introduce an idea like this in the setting. An idea that, in any other setting or story, would be the one, singular, biggest evil monster ever, and it's just one relatively minor mystery in one small corner of the galaxy that most will never hear about. There are several plausible explanations for what it might be, each of which is it's own element with their own storied histories and implications, but you're left wondering what it might be. Just this one small, relatively insignificant idea could serve perfectly as the core to a massive blockbuster trilogy of movies or series of books if it was nurtured right.

I've always wanted to know more of the Tyrant Stars after seeing that Q&A by Bruva Alfabusa, well done!

Lovecraftian Heresy!!?? Not in my Imperium!! For Cthul..... err.... the Emporer!!!

"no one knows why they get aggressive with the tyrant star" my man never been vitamin d deficient. XD Great video.

I'm not entirely familiar with the details of Warhammer 40K lore, so I hope I'm not saying something stupid, but what if when pariahs die their 'un-souls' find one another into the Immaterium and merge together? It's like they've been coalescing together throughout the millennia like some sort of psychic black hole. That could make the Tyrant Star a pariah god.... anti-god? -The Tyrant Star is appearing, after all, in the Culexus Sector ;P- Wait, were the C'tan pariahs?

In my opinion this sounds way more like the C'tan "The Outsider". As he is known for his voracious appetite that lead to him devouring his own kind and going mad from their remnant shards still speaking from within him, in fact his insanity became so potent that he was exiled from the war in heaven out of fear his madness would infect the other C'tan. His current form is on the galactic edge and shown to be covered in rocks, waste and possibly himself forming a moon like structure. No ones stopping him from moving about and "nibbling" on stars to feed himself, and also cause the madness by simply being nearby. After all the C'tan as a whole did develop a taste for emotions such as horror, fear, etc. Only problems with this theory is the calixis sector and the Outsider (last sighting) are possibly in two different corners of the galaxy.

Well, imperial experts seem to be at a loss for explanations of just about everything

I know I couldn't have been the only one to ask for this topic, but I remember about, I wanna say, a year and a half ago when I found your channel to see if you could cover this. you were not kidding in the podcasts when you said you plan years ahead... Thanks for the vid and keep them coming!

I'd say that it is a reality peep hole for Malal to poke his head out. It is only to make him seem like an actual threat.

one of my favorite theories so far. thank god the upload and keep up the great work good sir.

nice work yet again. Any more curse of knowledge episodes planned? I really liked that original series.

The writing of DH1-era FFG books was truly remarkable. Whole Haarlock's story, Tyrantine Cabal, Komus itself.. the aura of horror, mistery and eeriness was so fascinating, even thought the campaigns (Haarlock's Legacy especially) were quite a mess. And the best thing was that the writers never actually explained what the Tyrant Star is, leaving it to the GMs and players to theorize and debate over.

My own theory was that the Tyrant Star is actually a representation of the God-Emperor in the same vein that the Gates of Moment might be an eye of Slaanesh. I have several reasons for this. - The tyrant star also appears in the Screaming Vortex, the Chaos cultists are dismissive that the Imperials consider it a chaotic thing. It is represented as being far more destructive there then in Imperial space. -There are hints that the Tyrant Star also appears in other sectors and even segmenta (Achilles crusade). In all cases there is a human aspect, there are no known appearances of the Tyrant Star to aliens. I admit that this is the weakest argument but until a bunch of Orks start a Waagh because a giant black sun tells them to it remains a valid point. - The coming of the Tyrant start causes religious fanaticism in the imperial worlds that it touches. In a mad, raging kind of a way the Imperial Faith burns brigher in the world the Tyrant Star visits, much like a pyre. In essence having the religious warp energy that has coalesced around an antitheistic über psyker that is both disgusted and devoted to 'modern' humanity connect to worlds brimming with religious fanatics opposed to everything the Emperor fought for but utterly devoted to what the God-Emperor has become. Yes this is destructive but in a similar, if more excessive vein as the actions of Cypher. Some would survive, maybe even thrive as they could resonate with the schizophrenic dissonance. Again this is counter to its effects concerning Chaos cultists where it leaves only ashes.

Cracking episode Remleiz, very thorough. Speaking of stars, how about an episode about the Black Stone Fortresses of the Gothic War and their eventual fate?

since seeing this is ttsd i have been looking forward to this vid and i was not disappointed. Great use of dark theme in the background and great creepy vibe in general.

"Or could something even darker and more sinister be at play?" Like what? What could possibly be worse than the C'tan, Tyranids, or Chaos?

I think... The Tyrant Star might be the Craftworld know as Lu'nasad or Dresil'ach (forgotten ruin) which is detailed in the Rogue Trader adventure "Fallen Suns". This is the interpretation I am running with in my own Dark Heresy/Rogue Trader campaign, and of course linking Erasmus Haarlock with the lost Craftworld requires a bit of GM legwork but I hope it will be suitably epic.

"Money is of... no importance. I... want... the... STONES..."

Malal has returned! He has to pop in and out of the Warp to avoid his brothers noticing him and ending him. That or like the Ocean comparison maybe there is something worse than the Chaos Gods in the Warp and this is an extension of this being, in other words the Chaos Gods are sharks cruising near the surface, where this thing is a legend like Leviathan/Kraken of the deep waiting to rise up and drag down whatever it can feast on. Or maybe an insane Old One who has been corrupted after hiding for so long. So many possibilities, so much fun to speculate.

I really like the ambient music in this vid. Very foreboding and eerie.

Sounds very lovecraftian

Cthulhu?

Who else is terrified at the thought of this star. A black star that causes madness and mutation. Damn you Malal

your best video so far

Basically a chaos corrupted c'tan

The tyrant star could be the hive mind of the Tyranids.

The Tyrant star could be the prelude to the old ones coming to aid their creatures.

That's one thing I love about the Tyrant Star is the GM can make it whatever they want. I only Gm'd up to the first scenario of the trilogy, but I would've made it something different something even more unknowable than Malal or the other chaos gods. Something i haven't even thought up yet lol

God-Emperor Damn it Malal! How many times do we have to tell you! YOU.CANT.BE.CANON.

In regards to the madness brought by the star, doesn’t the C’Tan known as ‘The Outsider’ have the effects of madness attributed to it?

Many possibilities exist, but I am saddened that so few put much thought into Komus. Educated quess is the best that can be made. I have researched the Tyrant Star for five years already. It has become a hobby, an exhilarating use of my free time. The mystery is deep, but what I can tell you is that we are most certainly, and with proof, dealing with forces even Chaos and Necrons could never hope to comprehend.

Chin chin created it

wow lots to think about. thanks for your videos they help me when i work on my armies...

The Dark Traveler approaches.

Malice possessed the ethereal form of a long dormant C'tan. Let's go.

It’s a reality peephole for Malal

Who else secretly hopes the malal is the emperor?

Wow Five Star Stories nomadic black star is making quite a ruckus in Warhammer 40k.

Embrace the Darkness? Like believe in a thing called love?

I like the idea of this being Malice and am now modifying my earlier theory about the ritual to include this.

Thinking about the daemons being extensions of the gods and how they can be summoned got me wondering: Is it theoretically possible to summon one of the actual Chaos Gods to the material realm, for however short a time?

BRING BACK MALAL/MALICE!

Could we have a video of the Necron C'tan the Outsider. Since a lot of people are speculating the Tyrant star may be the Outsider.

The first theory has something of a problem: If the tyrant star is something of the tyranids why is it so far ahead of the hive fleets? Going so far ahead it would give the imperium time to recover and brings up the question of how the hive mind communicates with such a thing. Also, wouldn't there be specific signs of genestealer infestation?

Never heard of this. Really cool

Would be pretty funny if it was just a normal eclipse.

For being god of chaos and it's self defeating nature, ritual for his summoning sure must have taken lot of effort to do without any issues.

I would not want to be haunted by the Dark Souls Logo

That's some spooky shit my space man.

it’s probably just an Ork playin with heavy Dakka

every time the emperor farts a tyrant star is born!

The consensus seems to be its Cthulhu coming to kill the Chaos Gods.

It's the void dragon. He is comig back,the prison on mars has failed

Malal fits reasonably well but Personally I would associate it as its own entity, wither material or warp bound.

Anyone else looking out for the Tyrant Star this 2020? This year is just tearing human civilization apart.

I should probably post this somewhere else but the question of Malal is too much to ignore so I'll try to keep this short. Whether it's name Malice, Malal, or whatever, (I will just refer to him as Malal for now) Malice's existence is inevitable to begin with. Chaos God's represent a force fueled by the material realm, thus (especially with the tyranids) anarchy and nihilism is a huge factor within the universe. In fact I would go as far as saying the chaos gods all together fuel Malal's existence with all the "trouble" they cause. A good example of this which most can probably understand would be what happened to kreig, it was (essentially) plummeted into anarchy and civil war because of corrupt leaders who didn't believe in the Emperor. EDIT (can't believe I forgot to add this): The tyrant star is also proof enough of the God's existence.

I also read a theory, that the Tyrant Star is actually the warp-manifestation of secrets, mystery and the not understandable. It imitates patterns until an observer (an inquisitor for example) finds out more about it, than it changes these patterns, changes the mystery to remain non-understandable.

I think the Dark Heresy writers put it in there to give GMs a hook for thier campaigns. It's deliberatley vague so you can decide for yourself.

Never forget that there is a mad lad, that can actually control or at least predict the cycles of the tyrant star (according to an official Warhammer dark heresy triology). The guy is a rogue trader of the Harlock dynasty. The dynasty was a key part of the initial collonialization of the Calixis sector, so they basically had time to study the phenomenon from the beginning of the sectors existence, probably predating even the Tyrantine Cabal. I also wanna comment on the theory of the tyrant star being the C'tan devouring the star of the system. It does sound nice, until you reallize that some of the reports on the tyrant star talk about it being a second sun besides the one of the system. With the additional lack of an explanation for the madness the star is linked to, I find this theory especially unlikely.

A very extremely awesome video as always 40k Theories, my character hates Malice, and his name is the Great Darkness King.

Took a screenshot of the magic moment of this video being 40k views

Chris Cornell has foretold of the Black hole Sun

Sounds like a brotheran moon.

Malal: I WILL BE CANON I WILL BEEEEE!!! (cries)

I like it being Malice/Malal because he's such a fun god. But it also being some alternate dimensional being ala Cthulu could work out to I guess.

The first demon would be classified and wants to become the chaos God

I would like to see Malice come back, Being the Chaos God that turns the imperium. on it's head as they try to figure out what the hell is happening and why chaos is fighting each other more than usual

Black holes? Star burning so hot that most light is not in visible spectrum?

It could be the Outsider fitting the C'tan theory and mutations due to radiation is possible considering what happened to the Necrontyr. The outsider was also driven mad by consuming the other C'tan and so may have an effect on others.
