Join us as we uncover why the Blood Angels are much worse than you think, and how their battle against their inner demons defines their legacy in the 41st millennium.

Vitae soaked revenants, unfortunately.
thats why we love 3m
Khornes true sons
@00:05 WHY…. please why. Its not the Legion, its the chapter.
People think because they are imperial soldiers that they are the good guy? In the grim dark there is no such thing as the good guys they are savages like they should be if they were anything less there would be no imperium. After all in the grim dark there is only war!
You are treading on thin ice. Might be a midnight snack
Again a great, deep delving into the bowels of the 40k universe. Much appreciated.
The successor chapters are worse. Imagine being so bad that human blood drinking vampire astartes and other successors known for there carnage don't even fuck with you
Well done. Pls do one on imperial heralds aka word bearers. But do the video on imperial heralds pls, and their stransition as argal tal and the serated sun tune to gal vorbak
Is it better to be a man that pretends to be a monster or monster pretending to be a man?
I'm not watching 40 minutes of an AI voice
BEAUTIFUL ARTWORK‼️
Just had to say it lol
Great video brotha’ 🤙🧐
I don't see it as facade…it's just one of their aspects…as is their savagery
They're very good ackchually
Malcador, MALCADOR
That Baalite Bussy got me questioning my loyalty to the trhone!

Another good possibility is this!
Oenomaus had already freed Desh'ea and ruled House Thal'kyr, then after hearing about the boy named Angron, raised first by wolves and then by villagers, he decides to recruit him among his gladiators, seeing him as their hope.
Angron thus grows well becoming a just adult, in a reborn city with a large army of strong warriors, successfully leading his valiant soldiers (and many others thanks to his empathic psychic power), with the title Red Angel, against the tyrants (witnessing the tragic but honorable death of his father figure in the last battle), ultimately becoming the Gladiator King, powerful ruler of all Nuceria.
Some time after the planet's pacification Angron meets the Emperor, this time voluntarily embracing his place as son, Primarch and father of the XII Legion of War Wolves (World Eaters), officially making Nuceria their homeworld.
Or maybe even this: all the cities of Nuceria are already free and governed by several Gladiator Kings (the bloody slavery just a bad memory), who over time see the rise of the wolf Angron Thal'kyr as a sign of a worthy ruler (and future worthy Primarch)!
(A soul like that of Sanguinius)

Very well written. I know that novels about Unification would be very interesting. But a novel or a series dedicated to the Revenant Legion would be absolutely fascinating.
someone died
Chapter master: we got a feast tonight!!
Blood Angels were my first exposure to 40k, many many years ago. Therefore, they are the best. They are in an unwinnable battle and it's perfect 40k stuff
But still artists in their off time.
the sons of malice had the same story of their cannibalistic side, pushed to move to the side of chaos because of the imbecility of an inquisitor
I wish primaris marines got rid of the red thirst n black rage so they could be more like their primarch
Blood drinking is inherently quite homoerotic. Their urges may be much more "romanticized" than what was initially thought. Why else would an Astartes legion place so much importance in elegance and physical beauty? An opportunity for growth, indeed.
Yeah, but even in death, I serve the omnissiah
Its their duality of the figurative and literal (warp blessing and curse) angel and d(a)emon that makes them interesting to me while other first founding chapters show less three-dimensional characteristics. Their noble demeanor and appreciation of art are true for the sake of the curse. A hundred or so years prior to Sanguinius joining his sons, they were truly the worst but even more than 10 000 years without Sanguinius' physical presence and guidance, they are still living up to his standard. That is honourable. They know they will all eventually fall to the black rage but stay their thirst and rage by appreciating the beauty of art.
great video !
