"Is the daemonculaba REALLY that bad?" Says the nightlord fan

There as few terrifying things as " an iron worrior had an idea"

Skaven: Industrial size daemonculaba

Perturabo: "I FOUND A USE FOR WOMEN"

"Thanks to Surfshark for sponsoring this video, and if they're watching right now: I am sorry. I am so very, very sorry."

...I'm sorry, what was that last part? An Ultramarine/Iron Warrior hybrid clone being trained by a Raven Guard...to kill loyalists. McNeill, wtf?!

Skaven Broodmothers are in my opinion more horrid than the Daemonculaba. For reference the sheer quantity of extreme exstacy and pain a Skaven Broodmother produces is not something even Slaanesh will not touch. That is saying a lot.

I like the story because the guardsmen agree to go back. The Imperial Guard goes where "His Angels" fear to tread.

This should not be a question...

Look at any of the Chaos gods, and you’ll find body horror. The Iron Warriors are Chaos Undivided, so it’s really no wonder that they would be up to something truly reprehensible in that department.

The sad part is this falls into the pile of "Things we stole from Dune and turned up to 11, because grimdark."

I got into chaos when I first learned about Warhammer 40k. So I was curious about how more traitor Marines were made. That's when I was pointed towards this thing. Don't know if this is worse or better than Fabius Bile.

Answer: yes. Before I even see the video; yes.

I would like to formerly retract any statements I have ever made that sound something like: "The Iron Warriors are my favorite chaos marine legion."

For the record, I clicked on the video because I refreshed my home page and saw "uploaded 13 seconds ago" "OOOOOH bone new vid!"

many peoples first experience with the franchise Lets be honest youtube is going to recommend this video to people new to the franchise

The Daemonculaba Admittedly while Horrid at least serve a practicial purpose the creation of more Corrupted Astartes. Admittedly if not for the Chaos aspect then such a horrid but practical means of creating Astartes could be extremely useful. Especially because all evidence suggests that the creation of the Unfleshed is because of the Chaos aspect of the Daemonculaba. In theory without the Chaos corruption of the Daemonculaba it could be a very efficient way of creating Astartes with little chance of failure.

Again, when people try to say the traitor Astartes are not so bad, we point to this, and pretty much whatever the Night Lords are up to. Not that the Imperium isn’t like 1 step away from the same level of crime against humanity. I mean… have you heard that servitors may still be conscious after being lobotomized and made into a coat rack? Suboptimal

I remember you mentioning when you were streaming that you were reading the Uriel Ventris series, and was just waiting for you to get to this part... So glad you made a video lmao, honsu is so awesome

"40K is too dark because of Daemonculaba" I guess Commorragh and its inhabitants, nuking entire Tyranid infested planets from orbit and everything related to Slaanesh is not dark enough.

If you want true Body Horror from Warhammer look at Skaven and Drukhari Flesh Craft, imagine being captured, then every aspect of your form being riddle, wriggling, changing from warpstone or chemicals being injected or implied, this can result in variety of insanity you being turned into a flesh rug, a flesh room, a flesh box, or occasionally in the case of the Skaven being turned into some variety of their own kind which for some males or and all females of the Human, Dawi, or Eldari Persuasion that are partitioned from those captured for the purpose of enslavement creating new Skaven means being turned into a Skaven Broodmother.

Skaven Broodmothers: AM I A JOKE TO YOU?!

Mr. Bones: Daemonculaba is one of the most disgusting things in 40k Me: *starts eating chicken*

The really freaky thing Is this concept shows up in quite a few sci if stories. In fact this is almost 1 to 1 how the tleilaxu in dune make clones.

Graham McNeil took tea breaks while Clive Barker wrote the Daemonculaba sections

"taken aback" bro cried! This thing was so traumatic that it made a freaking Space Marine fall down in all fours and start sobbing by the trauma he went through!

Finally, you're incredibly apprehensive voice actually fits the topic! I love how this is from the iron warriors too, The least chaos out of the original traitor legion

The worst part about the Daemonculaba? The fact that someone, out-of-universe, IRL, thought this sh!t up.

The daemonculaba is the great filter. It separates the wheat from the chaff, the boys from the men, the cringe from the based

The iron warriors are one bad cocain trip.

My thing about it is the daemonculaba is horrible but *as far as we know* that one attempt with Honsou was the only time it ever occurred. And while theoretically it could likely be redone somewhere else I get the feeling its the sort of setup that is kinda hard to get working right given that Honsou's own setup was regularly fucking up. Moreso something I think is a lot worse is just the general idea of Genestealer cults because they're literally everywhere and 90% of them are at a fundamental level breeding cults, something that lends itself easily to...bad things happening on a large scale. Even worse the book Deathwatch shows you people don't *need* to be brainwashed by the Patriarch in order to make hybrids/purestrains, which is honestly kinda fucking horrifying to think about.

after seeing the other grimdark stuff in warhammer 40k the daemonculaba for me now feels slightly less terrifying when compared my first reaction of it (still messed up though).

Honestly I think the reason why the Daemonculaba is so shocking isn't fully because what it is but who is doing it. When you hear about it you think "this has to be something the Emperor's Children, or the Word Bearers, or the Drukhari would do." But then you hear its the cold, calculating Iron Warriors then you go "holy FUCK."

The Daemonculaba: bad enough to NOT give Slaneesh an orgasm

A lot of my friends, and my wife, constantly berate me for not being into horror films and the like. This is because 1) Ive never had an interest in modern day horror and 2) THIS SHIT had effectively desensitized me to anything they could throw at me. I have to constantly remind them that I am into COSMIC horror and 40K, which are arguably worth more in concepts, shock value, and not letting you sleep at night than the drivel they push on me.

Its just a casual goon session brah Also i wanna bring up graham mcneil's 2nd most controversial scene vs this when fulgrim had his soul "purged" and it turned out he just wanted to goon with his pals it was disturbing like most EC bits is them just being edge etc with the iron warriors you 100% see why they would do this adding to the terror

I really wish Iwas the man I was 12 minutes ago.. 😨

I do find the Daemonculaba very out of character for the Iron Warriors, I can see many other traitor legions committing such horrible acts like these but Iron Warriors would be the last I would assume because they hate mutations.

Short answer: Yes Long Answer: No, it’s worse

“ prepare to be rebirthed” - Honsu

for anyone who dosn't know what the thing in the title is and is squeamish/ has trouble with body horror, the answer is yes. And by body horror I mean the slimy, malformed wet kind

Uriel Jr. was created by a Iron Warrior with hybrid Imperial Fist geneseed, using a human mother, a lot of daemon juice and Ultramarine boyscout Uriel Sr. DNA after being unbirthed. Let me repeat that, Uriel Jr is a Ultramarine daemon created by an Iron Warrior Chimera unborn from a human mother and the best part? Trained by an angsty Raven Guard traitor. This shit doesn't get more main protagonist than it is, GW pls Daemonculaba anime.

Me, calmly eating my steak: "Yeah, this is kinda fucked up (chomp chomp)."

i would argue berserk has basically the same idea except more gruesome

I’ll say it, this is my favorite story for 40K. I don’t care what anyone says, Chaos is fun when they are like this.

"Is the Daemonculaba REALLY that bad?" Boy, read Requiem Infernal. The Daemonculaba is child´s play by its side

An interesting take would be a chapter from the view of one of the "mothers", describing how she loves all her children, but only the Unfleshed are worthy. Trying to live long enough to sire worthy children, yet seeing only the unworthy raised up.

Honestly I find myself more disturbed by things like what nurgle does to people (especially the unwilling people) than the daemonculaba

Real horror is love, vulnerability, honesty, basically that movie The Notebook

Maybe I shouldn’t have been eating while watching this

Oh boy, it's time to talk about my transition goals.

Congratulations with the sponsorship MR.Bones!!!! Been with you from the start! Such a rad lore channel

"I am so proud of that boy😢"---Papa Fabius

The process of becoming a daemonculaba is left blank and an exercise for the reader.

Thanks for this lighthearted topic today bud!

Ah the Daemonculaba. The 2G1C of 40k.

The Daemonculaba is just a grim dark version of the Axlotl tanks from Dune, and there is nothing that's going to change my mind.

“Maybe I should get into chaos” *watches video* oh yeah forgot about those.

Maybe I'm just too metal, but the daemonculaba isn't that bad. Or maybe it's because I'm not American... Or that I've had a crappy childhood. Done that, been there. Got the wardrobe.

It’s definitely one of those things that only tends to come up when people are “trauma scaling” 40k to make it sound as messed u las possible. 95% of people who talk about it have never read Dead Sky, Black Sun.

When I read the book, the only thing I could think was that "you can grow skin on frames", they don't even need the skin farms.

This man described a daemonculaba and really was like eh, seen worse, "lost a few points". Subscribed

The only people that would ever find this hot are the Drukari.

I refuse to believe that the Night Lords, Emperor's Children or Dark Eldar don't do worse on a daily basis. Also I'd imagine suffering Nurgle's gifts without being able to die and without him blessing you with being able to feel no pain would be a significantly worse experience.

Is it? Holy demon, ofc it is! Sofar I've found only 1 existing artwork(by an unknown russian artist) of said demonculaba, on the 1d4chan's(or try 2d4chan if first is unavailable) page - and even they were not willing to show said artwork, instead they provide you with a link to it with words "you were warned". The Uriel Ventris series is directly intertwined to the Honsou series by same author. Latter begins with a masterpiece that is Storm of Iron novel. Say, now there's an idea - a video for both uriel ventris and honsou in the future, hm, yes-no?

When I first heard about this I thought oh what kind of horror is it only to find out it's just milder berserk and milder Dragon Age origins. Read up on the Daka from beserk.

People exaggerate how bad it is. Pretty standard affair honestly.

As a girl that shit is single most horrific thing in the 40k for me AFTER becoming a slave for drukhari. It was so violating to read that. I think some writers get off of this kind of suffering...

.........I think even Magnus would take one look at that that plant and go "brother.....what the $#@%!"

In theory the Democulaba is not the worst thing in 40k. In practice it is only by virtue of going into far far far more detail than any of the worse things in the setting. In other words, its the worst thing in 40k described in detail.

From an immoral stand point, as matter of fact, it's worse than having a pizza with an American Politician

Iron Warriors enslaving acutal demons into mechanical contraptions: meh! 😮‍💨 Iron Warriors botching surrogate mother procedure: Sorry bro, my Chapter Master says you gotta go

I like the Deamonculaba. It gives me hope for the people horrified by it. The skin thing is bad. But as lads we are all worried about the ladies forced through this. You haven't been jaded by grifters like Tate or Fresh and Fit yet. You still have that natural desire to save the princess and that is a good thing. You're all still good lads.

its not, however I vacation in Commorragh

Some people in the 40k universe took their pregnancy fetish in the worst direction.

Apparently, the scariest thing in the galaxy is a bored Iron Warrior.

*Internal screaming intensifies*

I could have not watched this before bed but I did. Gentlemen, wish me luck with the dreams I’m about to have.

I was just listening to some music by the Band called lamb of God and one of their songs. Now you have something to die for has so much unintentional synergy with the 40K Universe, it's kind of scary. The lyrics go as follows. Now you've got something to die for Infidel Imperial Lust for blood, a blind crusade Apocalyptic, we count the days Bombs to set the people free Blood to feed the dollar tree Flags for coffins on the screen Oil for the machine Army of liberation Gunpoint indoctrination The fires of sedition Fulfill the prophecy Now you've got something to die for Now you've got something to die for Send the children to the fire Sons and daughters stack the pyre Stoke the flame of the empire Live to lie another day Face of hypocrisy Raping democracy Apocalyptic We count the days

I’ve been to six ear zones and am an expert in trauma. The answer is yes.

And they say women are underrepresented in 40k

Oh it’s like Scorn.

To quote a tumblr meme, "DEAD DOVE DO NOT EAT"

Oh, 40k Axolotl Tubes from Ix in Dune.

"Women." Says the Iron Warrior, breaking into hysterical laugher before aggressively sipping his White Monster energy drink.

i had a bit of a hard time finishing my breakfast after the description i must admit

No. Because it’s exactly the sort of thing that would happen in 40K, because the chaos gods have absolutely no limits when it comes to spreading their domain.

You know what’s really scary?? Some people are into the Daemonculaba.

it was my first experience with iron warriors in 40k. safe to say i have 4k points of my custom warband "relics of the culaba"

Are there any Iron Warrior characters we know about that come from the Deamon Khabab like Hansu or something?

it did cost 0$ to the author of this shit to not write it, but he still wrote it

you unloked a memory with dragon age and regret

They really wasted Honsou, turning him into a wasted mustache twirling failure. Hate that they did that.

I think this is a very Iron Warriors thing to do. From their perspective, biology is just something to bend into a more machine like thing. The flesh is weak. I can understand them not wanting to depend on the more traditional process of making new Space Marines, but to rather do it by mass production. I don't even think this is done with excessive Malice in mind (pun intended), it's just, like, "this unit has reached end of production, salvage its epidermis". Iron within, iron without.

“It’s not that bad” ~ Talos

The one thing i found dumb about the Daemonculaba is that it couldn't possibly be that easy to make Space Marines. They were only ever said to be a thing in that one book so they then also are one of those things that it doesnt make any sense for them to not be more of a thing

Its nice to see a more nuanced and subtle viewpoint on this subject instead of the "oh damonculaba bad" everyone else does.

Goddamnit of course you’re gonna bring up the broodmother lmao

Honestly from what I've seen and read it's not the most horrifying thing in Warhammer franchise for me. I mean people will often say Drukhari, and existentially the brief descriptions of what it's like to be eaten by tyrannid bioforms made my skin crawl a lot more.
