TLDR The Lion has been crunching his Factor meals. Saving half a galaxy burns alot of calories Get your first box for 50% off and your second for 20% off here : strms.net/factor75_majorkill18

Lion: "I have returned!" Guilliman: "Thank goodness! You're now in charge of the Imperium's armies as Lord Commander by the way." Lion: "So basically I will be Warmaster by another name." Guilliman: "Indeed, now I can finally focus on unscrewing everything wrong in the Administratum as a bureaucrat I am!" Lion: "Yay."

The Lion woke up from his 10,000 years of living under The Rock and chose violence.

The funniest scene happened when Lion pinned down one of Chaos Space Marines(possibly warband leader, I am not sure on this one) demanding of him to take the curse, which made his moves so rusty. Chaos Marine had no idea what he is talking about, being additionally pissed that someone had defeated them without much effort, and is sayinng he done this while not at full strenght He demanded to know who is the person before him, so Lion removed his helmet and introduced himself. The Marine was first shocked, then started laughing "There is no curse my Lord, you simply grew old!' And then Lion finish him

GW and contradictory lore, name a more iconic duo

The Son of the Forest book really shows how insidious Chaos Corruption is, Seraphax genuinely thinks he is using chaos for the good of humanity and doesn't realize that Chaos is misleading him into killing the emperor for their own gain. His Plan is completely Logical from his perspective and chaos only needs to twist his mind in tiny ways to get him to do their bidding, whilst he still thinks he's loyal

"Theres no shitty lore, just shitty writers" Man this is so true, sometimes I wonder what is GW thinking.

i think it’s hilarious how both times a loyalist primarch returned to the setting, it was a world eater that lunged at them first

Lion El'Jonson is about to go for a walk in his Bro-Trip Crusade. A very enthusiastic walk.

I'm convinced the soul removal thing is the reason he was in a coma for 10,000 years. I think Luthur knocked the Lion's soul from his body and it was sent back to the warp. That's why his body aged because it was simply an empty shell. When he came to, it was the Emperor who was fishing (which was a metaphor) to pluck the Lion's soul from the warp and put him back into his body.

lmao "He's been a busy little bee. Buzz Buzz" cracks me up whenever you use that line. Love the content as always

I think what lion means by being less secretive is that he's now telling his inner circle the truth of things and that's what spooking them. They are being shown what he was hiding.

Lion "Space Tywin Lannister" El'Jonson: "Hello, everyone. How's your health plan?" Enemies: *attack!* Lion "Space Tywin Lannister" El'Jonson: "Apparently it was great."

"One of my Brothers still lives? That's great! Oh... It's Rowboat? Well, I'll get around to seeing him, eventually."

It’s so wild we haven’t gotten more Lion books. The first one was solid and there is so much to cover with the DA dealing with the Fallen now

If calgar, a space marine can kill a hive tyrant, then a son of god can certainly wipe his ass with the tyrant

I imagine at least a bit to screaming internally. To stoic for actually doing it externally but had to have at least one "wtf even is this Imperium I fought for now?!" Internally

I love the idea of the Risen keeping their old Great Crusade and Horus Heresy era armour, it gives them a bit of a difference to the 40K era Dark Angels, plus the black and red colour palette is much more Dark Angels than their Forest Green colour for the regular Astartes. Also the Lion's reaction to seeing Dante's Deathmask is so similar to Dante's reaction to seeing that one Necron Lord (I think it was Szarekh but I can't remember) who also had a Deathmask as a show of respect to Sanguinius,

Lion took a VERRY enthusiastic walk.

Lion and the bros just hanging out in the secret chambers of the rock hitting the blunt and playing games. Best legion

"The Codex writers and the book writers don't read each other's work" That's the truest GW comment I've ever heard.

The Lion meeting Guilliman is what we need right now.

Swarmlord: Hah! Primarchs aren't that tough. Lion: Hehehehehehe! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! ...you've been fighting my brother.

Be a hell raising boss, that’s what he’s done

A video on if magnus took the emperors replacement legion would be dope. This is like month 2 I think? But I shall continue

I mean Guilliman himself is just sitting in a Desk right now signing papers...\s

Quick the 40k himbo posted another vid!

A video of the top ten community made wholesome moments would be great

He and azrael have been punching blunts with the rest of the Unforgiven on the rock as they have all collectively decided that the galaxy is too fucked up and only fulgrim seems to be having fun with slannesh

A Video about the other Primarchs "awakened" Warp Abilitys would be cool.

Funny thing about the speculation of a Primarch vs Abbadon showdown. When Abbadon was told Lion came back his reaction basically amounted to, "ok.... change of plans, we are all in immense and immediate danger!"

Uploaded right as I went on break. Damn good timing.

You should do videos like this for Guilliman and other important characters! I have no idea what’s currently going on. Maybe a “current lore” video every 3ish months

Interesting fact: Lion is actually the first primarch to face the tyranids

A video on the the first founding chapters and the relationships between there most prominent successors would be cool

I searched for a video about this a while ago and came up with very few results, thank you for covering this

Would be really keen to see a video on the imperial palace

I'd imagine Dante would pass along the news. I'd be happy with a small tidbit of Gulliman receiving the news

The Lion knows best, it will eventually be reviled. Loyalty is its own reward.

Hmm, a new lore bomb I never knew existed

He's secretly sponsoring Battlemace 40 million schmentai

What if the Emperor wasn’t able to reach Nuceria in time to prevent Angron dying from the High Riders? How would having one less available Primarch affect the heresy with more lopsided sides?

He slept. He awoke. But importantly. He will kill for the Throne.

He's probably been asking why Guilliman got his own trilogy while he's had fuck all

Been a Dark Angels player since 4th edition. I love the Lion being back so much.

Lion is not my favorite primarch but got dang is his aesthetic with helmet/hood sick

I love the hand movements at the end 10:40 Bro is reeling me in for mild a thrust

Just woke up, needed a chill way to start the day. Woot.

You missed him palling about with the Cowled Wardens, murdering Jahangir - whatever those are.

The lion accidentally clicked new game instead of new game+ so he has to grind xp to raise his level again.

Just used the mini-case for the first time on a 2k point custodes army. Worked great. 👍

Video idea: scholar progenium explained

The Tyranids were not ready for the Lion to return, the Emperor's Exterminator has mastered amd practiced galactic scale Xenocide his whole Primarch life.

Can I just highlight Majorkills complexion? Looking good, brother!

Son of the forest is also a great standalone sci fi / fantasy novel. Its got everything.

It’s kind of odd that guilliman got the sword, and not the lion. I thought it was pretty well established that the lion was the greatest swordsman of the primarchs

How I imagine the tyranids reacting to him: What is that? What the Fuck is that?

Makes sense that Dark Angels secrecy wouldn't vanish overnight, or completely. Interested to see what changes about them.

Really hope we get some novels soon.

Love the lion and would love for some more lore and model updates. I was gutted when I missed out on the singlets that you released a while back, they were fukin mint. Keep up the great content fella. 💪😎👍

The fact that we have only one Lion novel at this point is borderline criminal… not like GW leave that much potential revenue on the table.

We need more recap videos for primarchs, chapters and other factions

uperb video as always @majorkill. Could you make a video dedicated to the Navigators, the major houses, their politics, relation to the overall Imperium and factions

Awesome vid

Loving the new fan arts

Lion had one of the best character development among primarchs. His huge ego got crushed. Now he is reasonable and talkative like a grandpa 😆 I hope Russ returns next, more civilized.

I love how Angron is just Old School Kratos nowadays with endless rage and death being a minor inconvenience.

The Knight of Nihilus, huh? "The Knight of the End." Or, more directly, "The Knight of Nothing." Either way, that seems just about right.

The contradiction of his feelings and opinions of his shortcomings in just two books is peak GW

I kinda want to see how the Viltrumite Empire would do in 40k considering they're also attempting to conquer the galaxy

Personally I'm quite underwhelmed by the Lion's return. We're 2 books in and we don't have any meaningful line of dialogue between the Lion and any previously established Dark Angels character, like Azrael, Cypher, Asmodai, etc. or even Guilliman. Zero in the books, I don't know if there's any in the codex. He had more interaction with Blood Angels characters, what kind of narrative choice is that? Also the Lion seems to be happy to fight inconsequential battles on backwater planets with zero impact on the grand scale of the galaxy. The fight with Angron was cool, but ultimately he managed to banish him for a couple of weeks ( mere mortals had accomplished the same before) and lost the planet anyway, failing to prevent Vashtor's ritual. Compare it to Guilliman: from the start he had many interactions with his gene sons, took proactive decisions for the Imperium, and his actions impacted the setting as a whole with the primaris and indomitus crusade stuff. I would have expected the return of the Lion, a candidate to warmaster, one of the primarchs Horus feared most during the heresy, the one that walked among his brothers as an apex predator according to Malcador, the one with most conquered worlds during the crusade, the one that took care of the Rangdan AND the Krave, and that bitchslapped Kairos the Fateweaver, to have a larger impact on the galaxy. Also I found the Lion's change of character too abrupt and unnatural, he does not change and develop during the story, he just wakes up as a different man basically.

Really as excited for more risen/redeemed fallen lore as I am for more lion lore lol

Thanks Factor.

I forgot that Vashtorr and the Arks of Omen were a thing.

Day 85 of asking for a dedicated series of videos detailing in depth the Lion El'Heresy

I’d like to see a video or at least a short where you break down who you think might be the true identity of Lohoc the red whisper

I imagine the meeting between Guilliman and the Lion will be emotional From the Lion’s perspective, he’s only been separated from his brothers for a few years at most. He has relatively recent memories of Imperium Secundus, the Scouring, and parting ways with Guilliman on less than friendly terms. He would go to Guilliman and apologize for being a dick and suggest they just get right to work. Guilliman, by contrast, has been awake and dealing with the shitshow that is the Milky Way Galaxy for centuries. He’s been alone, suffering in silence, enduring the greatest insult to the Emperors dream imaginable. He’s been cut off from anything resembling a moment of peace for centuries. He thought all of his loyal brothers were dead, two of his traitor brothers tried to kill him again, and he saw with his own eyes the rotting corpse that was his father. He’s seen how far the Imperium has fallen, and he endures the worst of it every day. When Guilliman and the Lion meet, the Lion will be curt and formal, maybe showing a bit of brotherly affection. Guilliman, however, I see finally allowing himself a moment of weakness, immediately going to his brother for a hug and maybe even crying.

I hope they bring my boy Perturabo back and its revealed he did not become a demon prince

Love your work 🖖

I'm just waiting for my glorious WARHAWK BOI Jaghatai

Exciting time to be a DA fan. Building a Risen detachment as we speak.

@majorkill A video on each of the primarch’s favourite food would be cool. Also a video on how each of the pirmarch’s would react to being implanted with the butcher’s nails would be cool as well.

Please make video about Tau Navy: their ships and battles.

I want some bloody cypher lore Sooo badly...yet at the same time i am so worried that they will mess it up somehow. None the less i hope we get the Lion to interact with Cypher, G-man and so many others.

Bro was lagging so hard it took him 10k years to respawn

He went, Rawr!

As with all things, we must wait until Black Library commissions another novel with the Lion. However, since their priorities are always dictated by their parent companies need to have books that tie in with whatever update is coming out, we may not see anything with the Lion anytime soon.

I am Deathguard but man after reading the lion he’s became my favorite imperium primarch other than sangy

Hehe Asmodai works best with the Inner Circle Companions. Also he established the Protectorate which is an area of worlds he can consistently Forest walk to, which is conveniently not that far from the Startide Nexus; a portal between both halves of the galaxy. Hint hint. Day 532 of requesting a Commissar Yarrick Major Mini pls and thank you

If this man decides one day to say the emperor died and horus took his place on the throne that would become cannon lore to me since he got me addicted to wh40k

get this guy to 600k

Now I need the equivalent of Dark Imperium but for the Lion. Thank you

Busier than a cat burying isht in concrete

You wonder if the lions new forest walk ability has any to do with the (forgive my spelling) t'chulcha engine or whatever it was he used and spent a lot of time around? I know he still uses it after he gains the ability but there is kind of a similarity in what they both can do, with being able to almost instantly teleport anywhere

If I hadn't read the night lords book first got the Lions book I would have been a dark angel fan boi too. Love the Lion.

Fortified his position with mattress and pillows

Every time the lion makes someone disappear he takes the leaders to the cave to take them to the shadow realm to show them what happens to traitors. At least thats what i chose to believe

Straight away, back to Killing Chaos.

I think with the forrest walk ability he could be collecting his loyalist brothers one by one. Maybe not present it as that easy but at least its an option for going forward.

Hi Majorkill, Can you provide us with the video about humanity's war with AI, and why some of truly unreasonable things like "Ordo Armageddon" canon couldn't be used because it wasn't been blessed by specific organ of the Mechanicus for example, so what impact it has had on the deep culture of Mechanicus known today. Because some things aren't said loud and people doesn't seem to get it, that it needs to be just checked by Mechanicus if the machines they produce earlier wasn't too smart in it's code that would lead to loosing control over machines with AI enchantments etc.
