Hello ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to Law Crimes. Hello!
Hello everyone. We have a small announcement though, Andy, you're looking pretty fine
in that outfit. What have you got there? Oh, this old thing. Just got some cool Law Crimes
merchandise. Oh, it's actually getting a bit cold. It's getting nippy. It's coming up to
live Andy outfit change. For the listeners out there, we have merchandise officially.
We actually did it. We're two years in and took it, but we finally did it. It's me. I'm
not a blogger. How about a saddle to cover that? I don't even know what that means. Zenyum
2, I don't know what currency is that? Euros? Yes. Bust out the dab. Oh my god. Well, as
an introduction, boys, there was a whole host of comments by our absolute law boy, Fankal,
which we will read at some point. We seem to be a lot of that. Well, they've been document
because they paid five bucks to get us to read them. We will get to that in a little
bit. So we'll keep that in mind. Today, guys, is Death Company Blood Angels. A little special
topic as of time we're recording now Blood Angels are releasing and they have a codex
shiny new codex coming, a few new models and especially some new Death Company Marines.
First, I want to thoughts particularly on the maybe the Death Company Jump Pack sort
of launch box. Maybe Eli doesn't like it too much because it's all primaries. I kind of
forgot this box was coming out. I'm going to level with you. Me too. They are cool models
though, to be fair. And the new the new Lamardes is really sick. So is the Astereth. It's because
it's the same model as the old Astereth. Which is all they have to do to make cool models.
I guess I'll go ahead. I'll give it. It comes with a good variety of stuff. I mean, ten
intercessors, assault intercessors, a dreadnought, name characters, Lamardes. There we go. Boy,
you just said them and they immediately left my brain. They look good. Good stuff. I think
particularly people are listening today. Death Company. Maybe they had some cooler, more
unique stuff in the past, but I think they look pretty clean, especially the HQ ones.
The brutalist dreadnought one seems about right. That thing. I would maybe do a little
bit more ornation on that. But again, that's something people can do in their own time.
But today's lore topic is Death Company itself. The obviously goes so good. Can you still
run the flying librarian dreadnought? Is that still an option? I don't think it's the same
anymore. I think the librarian dreadnought still exists. I don't think it does anymore.
The old one. Not since the box has turned into the chonky. Yeah, no more boxes. Boxes
are allowed. You could deep strike marines with it. Is there any group who are near it?
Oh man. We poor... Blood Angels, they've been eating good though. Their models are pretty
damn good. Some of the RIP sanguinary guard wings though at the time. You never know.
We're going to crack straight on into it boys. If there's any donations and all that stuff,
we will get to them in a little bit. But we're going to start off with the Blood Angels Death
Company itself. It doesn't really need to be said, but for the uninitiated, they are
the ninth Legion Blood Angels. Pretty much the sons of Sanguineous. I would say prettier
than Fulgrim. I don't know if Eli is going to be okay with that. As they describe it
in the book, Sanguineous is just naturally beautiful, whereas Fulgrim is a crafted being.
Fulgrim is naturally beautiful. Sanguineous is a supernatural being.
I was going to say, there's also people who want to buy any of the merchandise for law
crimes or to be a law criminal yourself. We do have links on the channel, so go and check
that out. We'll hopefully all be kitted up soon. For the Death Company, Primarch Sanguineous,
beloved, our glorious boy. If anyone is wondering, on screen we have some Space Marine 2. At
time, hopefully Blood Angels maybe get a thing for Space Marine 2.
It's going to be a while. I know Dark Angels are coming up, but we know they're going to
get something. They have to. Even though it's just going to be like, do you want a different
shade of red?
Cool. But essentially, today is more about the... basically this is... okay, all of Warhammer
is like daddy issues, like the game. That's why we all relate so hard. But this one is
particularly bad when it comes to what forms the Death Company and kind of how it started.
Going back to its original origins, it sort of starts around things like the Red Thirst,
the Black Rage, and unfortunately the death of their Primarch. So during the Horrors Heresy,
that's a topic we're going to get to, like part by part eventually. Poor Colin will be
dragged to beat for the entire Horrors Heresy.
He's going to be checking out for like months at a time, just like, oh, can I have a episode
on the Horrors Heresy?
I was going to say, Colin, are you more excited about the start of the Horrors Heresy thing,
or the Alpha Legion fully dedicated video?
Boy, man.
This is some good stuff.
Look, you can just kill me now if you want.
Colin does not like Alpha Legion. So during the Horrors Heresy, it will be, well, during
the Great Crusade is more accurate. Sanguineous would discover perhaps one of the first flaws
that would somewhat put the Blood Angels in a bit of a pickle.
Tartish is their name a little bit.
Yeah, so Colin, what's the actual first flaw? I'll leave it at that. What's the first flaw
that they came across?
The first flaw is the Red Thirst, which is of the flaws is the one that's like this is
a gene seed flaw. The other one, you know, we'll get to is it's a gene seed flaw, but
it's also kind of magic. You know, there was some extenuating circumstances that led to
this one. The Red Thirst is just you're a Blood Angel. Well, from the start, this was
a this is just part of like the DNA. This is just a problem. So it's there. They're
similar to each other. But how it works is basically sometimes, you know, space marines
tend to be in pretty big battles, right. And, you know, the heat of combat, you know, your
adrenaline's going, you know, you could be angry, you know, filled with, you know, which
is battle lust, what have you.
Space Marine angry.
You're on a bridge in PUBG.
I had a Red Thirst moment in PUBG. Not like that.
I will get to that when I'm done explaining what this is. But so, yeah, you know, things
get a little bit rough. And Blood Angels already as a side effect of their gene seed, they're
kind of pale, their teeth are a little bit elongated and, you know, they got a bit of
a thing for blood. You know, they're a fan.
What do they mean by this?
Could be anything. Sometimes as the battle's going, they get a really big, big need for
blood. They get real hungry for it. So they, you know, they go from arguably the most elegant,
you know, regal of allegiance. You know, Eli, feel free to send for the Emperor's children
now, as you will.
Wrong.
I said one of. They're up there.
Yeah, they are up there. This is the skin of a killer, Bella.
From angry, angry space vampire. Let's stop pretending that this is...
Yeah, it's not. Lie to ourselves.
They go berserk. And they just...
Yeah, like the phrase munch a civilian in like close quarters.
Suck a lot of civilian.
That thirst for blood is exasperated. Sometimes it's outright. They just start eating people.
It's not very pleasant to be around or witness. Initially, it was a very rare thing, though,
thankfully. You know, it was a... And a lot of the times with the scale of the Great Crusade,
they're fighting humongous battles. One guy starts going a little bit too nuts. Who's
going to notice?
Seguinus, they would sometimes take, you know, battle brother Vlad behind the shed.
And Seguinus himself.
Take battle brother from behind?
What?
They take him out behind the shed.
Oh, OK. They take him from behind. I was like, no.
It's like that scene in... Babe, not that scene in Babes, you know.
Yeah. Him or Azcalon, you know, the Seguinian guard commander, like, well, you were a good
battle brother and we will remember you forever, but it is time for the forever nap to hide
the inflation.
Because Lenny.
Yeah, what's the book of Mice of Men?
I was going to read Red Dead Redemption 2 for a second. Lenny!
Because Seguinus is aware that two of his brothers came down with a bad case of being
written out of history and he didn't really want to tempt that with him and his sons.
Best case scenario, that's just not going to look good. Worst case scenario, the Rus
is getting involved.
There was that.
Yeah, as Colin mentioned, there was a slight incident where one of his brothers, Horace,
did in fact peek around the corner.
He was like, what's going on back there? Uh oh.
And Seguinus was like, oh no, oh no, I've been caught with my clothes off.
We'll give Horace his credit, right? I don't think he ever, even after he went traitor,
made that one public, did he?
Yeah. I think he maybe enjoyed the embarrassment or he just knew he was going to clap Seguinus.
No, in a different way.
Early on he was just being a bro.
Even if he did during the heresy, they'd say, oh liar, he's a liar, look at them, they're
lovely, look at Seguinus.
Yeah, who would believe them.
Ooh, pinch his cheeks, he's lovely.
Yeah, they wouldn't believe him.
And Rus's sons turned into furries, so yeah.
As time went on though, indeed, it seems to have gotten worse because it wasn't a devastation
of ball when they let loose all the locked up ones, like the ones that the Red Thirst
had a strong hold on, they were like gorillas.
They were walking on all fours.
If left unchecked, it seems over the 10,000 years of degradation, it's gotten even worse.
And it turns them into literally hulking monsters, it actually has a physical effect on them.
Even in the Blood Angels omnibus, they try one of the apothecaries, with the help of
Fabius Bartholphe, who doesn't know at the time, they're like, hey, maybe we could clone
Astartes and make new Blood Angels that don't have the gene flaw.
And that turns into the Blood Fiends where they're like, yeah, oh no, it's even worse
than it was before.
Or alternatively, the Mechanicus messes around with it and then you get the Lamenters.
Yes.
And they get so badly.
The one upside of the Red Thirst is that it isn't necessarily permanent.
They can, I guess, wake up from it.
I'm trying to think of a better snap out of it.
Overcome it.
Yeah, you can overcome this.
When the battle ends, there's a decent chance you can go back to normal.
You'll have to then deal with the consequences of eating an entire civilian refuge in front
of everyone.
There might be issues with that.
But you're lucid again.
It's pretty...
In terms of like, we were like, Conn said, it's vampires.
We weren't like, it's just vampires at a certain point.
It's gotten worse by the time the 41st millennium, definitely.
At least, I don't know what it does on the tabletop now, but I knew in 8th edition it
was absolutely insane.
It was just on the charge.
You get a plus one to all your wound rolls.
So you're wounding a Titan on a five with a Space Marine infantry.
I don't know if it has...
People in the chat or people listening in audio might be able to correct us.
I don't know if it does the thing that world eater corn berserkers do, which is they have
blood served.
If you shoot them, you get to roll a D6 and they get to move closer to the target that
shot them.
I think they, at least at some point in time, they had something like that.
Something like that.
But that essentially is the red thirst.
But this will come up later.
This is related to the death company, but not everyone who has a red thirst will get
assigned to death company though.
Not quite.
Yeah.
I would say most of the blood angels are like we...
This is, again, like I said, shameful at best and heresy at worst.
So they try and hide it.
Most blood angels and their successors, some of them have different opinions.
Blood drinkers, how are you doing?
Maybe...
I'm a malice do it, it's no good.
I think their problem was they were eating Sisters of Battle.
I think that was one of the problems.
No, not until they shut up.
Speaking of eating, I can just taste salt in the air.
What's going on?
But I just thought random, most random sidetrack, I just saw a conversion today.
So one did where they just took chainswords and they just stacked three chainswords on
top of each other.
One really long chainsword.
It was on a blood angel model.
Or reminds me of what's his name?
Metal Gear Revengeance where he's got like the scissor sword.
What's his name?
Sundowner.
And he got like a sword and a sword and he puts them between your head and around your
neck.
Oh no.
Fucking invincible.
It's cruel and I'm very much in touch with my inner child.
Like we said, oh, don't forget the best line.
Like the good old days after 9 11.
It can also affect you in real life when you enter a room in PUBG and wipe an enemy team
and your friend is also in the room and he goes, Colin, why are you still shooting me?
And you acknowledge that it's taking a lot longer to kill this guy because he's your
friend and there's reduced friendly fire damage, but it doesn't click.
And then you kill him and he looks at you like a sad puppy on the ground.
Like, why did you do that?
Why did you open fire on me for a minute straight?
And it was like, I thought you were a bad guy, man.
My bad.
I was speaking of the next thing then, which is the real reason why there's a death company
formed for the blood angels and all their successors was itself the black rage.
So during the end of the siege of terror, it been going off for ages.
I'm not gonna lie.
I'm reading through the entire seizure terror series again.
My God is it.
It happens a lot.
Like so much happening during the end sanguineous, even an old law like sanguineous boarded the
vengeful spirit and he would go on to duel Horus, which was a vision the Primarch had
seen even since he was, you know, even a young Primarch.
He kind of knew his death would be at Horus.
It makes it really sad because in a lot of the novels he kind of realized like fate is
one of the things unlike Conrad Coors, who he talks to you basically says, you know,
fate is, you know, we're slaves to it and sanguineous says, I know I'm gonna fight Horus,
but I believe I've actually seen a thread of fate in which I can win.
But unfortunately that didn't happen.
Sanguineous have beautiful beloved love by all.
Yeah.
I guess I had the image of Dr. Strange from endgame, but it's the Emperor's just like,
there's a chance you can win.
He's just there like,
there was a chance.
They were actually, it was in the, it's in the book Ruinstorm, literally sanguineous
sees a vision of how he actually manages to beat Horus.
And when this confrontation actually happened, it just appears nothing like it and Horus
brutally kills sanguineous.
He literally, he's been, he toys with him and then he beats him to death to the point
in which like the broken winged form of sanguineous is then erected kind of like a crucifix.
crucified Christ like thing behind the throne of Horus.
I'm not gonna lie, it's so brutal in the book.
You literally like, oh my God.
Nice.
And the problem with this is that this created a psychic backlash that would wash over all
of the blood angels and a rage so pure and full of hate would spring through all of them.
Their vision just clouded.
They became like, you know, the red thirst activated, but then this was something beyond
it and essentially every enemy in front of them start to sort of look like Horus.
Now this is going to be a reoccurring theme when the black rage activates again.
And as Colin said earlier, this thing is not necessarily a gene flaw, but there's something
more to this black raid.
It's the, the death wake of sanguineous being, you know, again, like broken on the knee of
Horus.
It's, yeah.
It's like a, what is it?
Like it, if you get blood angels gene seed, it's a problem you have to deal with, but
it doesn't come about like just from like an inherent problem with the gene seed.
Magical Primarch death was so traumatic that it like affected the gene seed going forward.
I think there's something to be said there.
It could also be like seen as like a mutation of their original curse.
So it's like, this is already a thing that can happen with them.
Hmm.
Yum, yum, yum, yum.
And they're like, well, we've got this.
Chaos one was like, this is great, but I like this.
And they just made something else out of that, uh, that kind of traumatic experience they'd
already had ingrained with it within them.
Well, there's a little bit of seasoning, you know, did they, I don't think they ever like
said it.
Oh, what's up, pal?
I was saying good random side question for all of you guys, your black rage activates,
but who do you see instead of Horus?
Who do you have to fight?
Every person is the same.
I see my, I go back to that pub G match and I just see him and I just, I just can't stop
wind ranger players and Dota two punch players.
No, I was like outward of our employers.
Cause I just got clapped.
I see someone playing that hamster ball from overwatch.
Yep.
I just, I like, I'm, I'm docs.
I'm like getting their IP address and everything and I'm heading over.
Oh my God.
I don't have a good answer.
So I'm just going to say Melissa McCarthy.
There we go.
Cause that'd be okay.
Wow.
Um, but essentially, um, when this black rage act three to three entire Legion, they weren't
ready for this, not that they ever could be, but they started to attack the traitors with
pretty much just like what a world leader would be.
They have no care for their survival, but they also just killed anything in front of
them for most of them.
They even attacked other Imperial.
So a lot of, I think even when it happened on sickness prime, I think there was like
a proto activation or something close to, so there was, there was, I'll explain at the
end about why it was possible that the black rage possibly activated before the death of
sanguineous, but essentially it's supposedly a small part of it did happen during the horrors
of heresy and they just, they killed some, uh, space wolves.
So they were meant to be their friends.
Not good.
Um, after the siege of terror, though, the death of sanguineous, the blood angels would
be again split like many of the other legions, the loyalist ones.
Um, and they would get a good old Gilman's codex there and they would go split off into
their various chapters.
Um, but the problem would still arise that even new legionaries inducted in to the Legion
or the chapters following this, people were still, you know, recruits would fall to the
black rate.
This was, this was kinda here to stay.
And I think we're at a good point.
Maybe if there's some donations, you want to possibly go through, we can go through
them.
Um, start from the top.
So we've got Shane bruh before 99 said, Colin, you look very handsome today.
Thank you.
Nice.
I'd say Johnny Ork fire.
Do you want to do this one?
Sure.
Uh, Johnny Ork with the five CA, uh, we can, wah, if we want to, we can leave your gets
behind.
They don't wah.
Well, if they don't wah, then they're no boys.
Am I nice.
Thank you for the dough.
Thank you.
It is October.
Yeah.
And I've not made any work content.
And I've had people commenting.
They're upset with me for not making more content this year.
And I'm like, I'm sorry.
I can't, we're cooking.
We swear we're cooking.
Don't worry.
Uh, Zenon for the two euros says would love a book featuring lamenters death company.
Wasn't it like those one guy is, there's one, is it a dreadnought that's still in death?
He thinks he's the last of his chapter.
Poor guy.
Really sad.
Poor fella.
Pugh's missing the lock again.
Pugh's on the pub G bridge.
RWJ was wielding a lightsaber.
Hal was in the Vermintide cave.
Colin, Joseph Pollard, Colin almost gave the Black Rage a new meaning.
Damn, we're telling a lie today.
Colin, do you want to do this one?
No.
Sure.
Eli is in this one.
Eli, bad-mouthing blood angels in my primarchs and goonies further with results in a Black
Rage moment in Canada.
Only angels may fly, says Singuineous.
I'm not, I'm not a blood angels hater.
I just think the Emperor's children are better.
That's not-
Singuineous is overrated.
He said it.
No, no, not true.
No, not true.
You know who, you know who did see a single timeline of victory and was able to achieve
it?
Eldrad versus Avedon.
Wow.
All right.
Um, DJ Beast, the ultimate meme man super fan has become a member.
Thanks very much, DJ Beast.
We love you.
Here's some diabolical stuff we might read at the end.
Yes, indeed.
Joseph Collar here.
Has anyone got out of the death company without dying or has that never happened?
There is one.
And we will get, yeah, we will, we will get to him.
I know it's not really a spoiler, but we'll get to, I've saved a bit for him at the end.
Mr. Milov again for the two Bulgarian something.
Black Rage activates.
The question is though, Mr. Milov.
Which one is it?
I think it's a good alternative.
Zenon has become a YouTube member and he's been playing some games of Space Marine 2
with me for a while.
So thanks so much, Zenon.
Awesome.
Thank you, brother.
Thank you.
But back to the, back to the juicy lore bits here though.
So the death company itself was kind of officially formed right after, I mean, they may be still
write this lore in the Scouring series, but it's essentially formed right after the Horus
Heresy.
And then maybe during or after the Scouring and the Blood Angels themselves and their
successors who are chapters.
The last 10,000 years of all of the Imperium's history, all the brothers who fought to the
Black Raid suddenly appears within them.
They are formed into, as the title says, death company.
Now death company marines themselves, they paint their armor black.
I think it's more like a mark of sort of shame or like in a way, like they're representing
death, their dead men.
And upon their shoulders, possibly even like some of their legs as well, they put those
massive like red X's.
And this is to symbolize the wounds that Horus gave to their beloved Primarch Sanguinus.
Because even at the end, when the death company fully lose themselves to the Black Raid, they
fully believe that they are Sanguinus and that they are basically fighting Horus.
I do like the one from the Tyranid story where like the guys like slowly walking on a world.
And I think the world's about to be devoured by the Tyranids, but then they've won.
But then they're not like attacking him because they're about to throw themselves into the
pool.
But he just sees loads of little Horuses, like mini Horuses next to bigger Horuses.
And they're kind of like watching him.
He lets himself fall to the Black Raid just to kill a few more.
Pretty tight.
There's some really good comics.
I've seen comic strips and art pieces people have done of like, from the perspective of
a Black Rage blood angel, seeing everyone as Horus.
And I've seen a few of them over the years and they're always quite fun to see because
I like the perspective of it.
Yeah, sorry.
Crazy like for them as well, the wound is so great that even they who 10,000 years have
not seen Horus, like Horus appears and they know what Horus looks like.
So you know it's a horrible wound.
My favorite one of those is still some like Tyranid warrior is hiding behind a ruined
building and a blood angel is just like kicking about.
Where are you Horus?
What's the name of the guy who assassinated Abraham Lincoln?
What was his name?
Yeah, imagine if like Americans just inherited like, they just go crazy and it's like, it's
him!
I see him!
That's right.
Holy cow.
Watch out!
The Canadian one would just be someone who lost an argument and was a bit aggressive.
Canadians go back to a Stanley Cup loss.
Yeah, yeah.
Black Oaks!
Oh man.
I think I see Nigel Farage now.
That would be my moment.
When was the last time you won the Stanley Cup?
Just an American field, isn't it?
Emmington almost won the other day, right?
We lost and then I guess I'll die.
Is Stanley Cup ice hockey?
Ice hockey?
Yeah, it's hockey.
At least I thought it was hockey.
The Stanley Cup is hockey.
It's just won by Americans.
You're in the league, do better!
There's hockey on AstroTurf, like fake grass.
And then there's ice hockey.
Do they not have regular hockey?
The guy who runs the NHL hates Canada.
What do you mean regular hockey?
Ice hockey is regular hockey.
What do you mean?
In the Olympics?
You don't know?
There's hockey which is the one that you just keep running.
Not normal hockey.
No, that's like special stupid Olympics hockey.
Ice hockey is what matters.
I think someone described it as a bunch of men running divorce dance.
That looks so ungraceful.
It's an odd sport, that's for sure.
Back to Warhammer lore, I forget sometimes.
But essentially for the Death Company, the Marines are somewhat lost to their Black Raids.
So they are led by Death Company chaplains who they lead their squads of fallen brothers
into mostly suicidal missions because they are seeking an honorable death.
The Death Company chaplains are somewhat able to control their troops.
They use things like chants, battle hymns, holy litanies of the Emperor and praises of
sanguineous to remind them of the men of who they are underneath the incoherent rage.
But it's the point where Death Company chaplains are so valuable that if they die or are taken
out the coherency of the unit is pretty much lost and they are pretty much going to attack
anything they see.
Many of them are locked away, who are too far gone in the secret towers upon Vaal and
all the other successors also keep a lot of them secret.
There is something about some Marines who they've just gone way too far and they'll
actually attack their own brothers.
And for that they have a certain high chaplain who goes around and delivers justice.
Andy, who are we talking about?
This is a special individual.
Before I just let the idea that all the chapters go, you're going to angry jail and that's
how they deal with them.
So the high chaplain of the Blood Angels is a fella by the name of Astarath the Grim.
He had a recent revamp.
He's the goat.
He had a recent model update which looks really cool.
He's known as the Redeemer of the Lost and his brethren, he has a couple of specials.
He has a particular role.
He does do battle line duties but he's mainly known for the fact that he has to execute
those who are lost to the Black Rage.
Because while it's true, the Blood Angels do kind of, you know, they round up all the
guys who are a bit too cross and they put them in a tower and they're just headbutting
the walls for a few years until they're like, right, okay, off to battle.
Usually they like to only send them out to fight once, maybe twice, and then hopefully
they die in battle and if not, all right, get rid of them.
Because otherwise they're going to have just a bunch of like, and again, if you're like
insane and you're jumping into the thick of battle and surviving with no regard for your
own safety, you don't want too many of these guys around all the time because kind of a
handful.
So he actually seeks out people, people, Astarthes who are suffering from the Black Rage because
he has this strange ability to sense people galaxy wide who are suffering from the curse
and he can also sense when it's starting to, you know, he'll be like, bro, bro, brother,
brother Petunius, you doing all right?
And he's like, yeah, yeah, I'm good.
Are you sure?
Really?
Getting some kind of, you know, feeling a bit anger from you, a bit of passive aggressive
tendencies.
So you're basically not angry.
I'm not angry.
You're telling me he's basically the like a therapist slash the American IRS where like
they know how much you owe, but they just want to tell you.
I would say, I'd say he's more like a repo man in a way.
He actually has a personal void craft called the Eminence Sanguis.
He roams the galaxy with it.
He can, I believe in the Blood Angels Omnibus, if I'm not mistaken.
It's almost like it's described as him hearing like a kind of weird music almost.
And it's like the closer he gets to someone he's looking for, like you could be in like
Holy Terror suffering from the Black Rage and he could be on these infringes and he
just kind of had this like, and as he gets closer, it gets louder and louder until it's
like when he's like right next to the guy who's suffering.
And so he has another trait where he actually can help calm those around him from falling
to the Black Rage.
And also he kind of instills a bit of discipline to those who are already under its frall.
He doesn't like necessarily lead the deaf companies, but he's responsible for them.
And because of his role in the chapter, his battle brothers don't really like, they don't
trust him because they know there's a good chance they'll be having their heads cut off
by him in the near future.
So, sussy bucka.
If he's around, even if it's not them, someone they're friends with is probably losing their
head.
Yeah, exactly.
And so like even though they all respect him, they're also like, I don't really like you.
Like again, there's like a nice exchange in the Blood Angels Omnibus.
One of the shorter parts of the Omnibus is Rathen, who's a character.
I read the whole books for to do a video no one watched because he's a really old character.
I think he's really cool.
He's one of only two space marines that have ever like fallen to the Black Rage and come
back from it, which is him and Mephiston.
And he's kind of like his, his like protege.
He's not a librarian, but like Mephiston's like, ah, you brought me back from the Black
Rage the second time and you survived somehow.
And he's like, he has the Spear of Tolesto, Sanguineous' unique weapon.
And that's how during the Blood Angels Civil War, he uses that to cleanse the Black Rage
from his brothers when Seanch gets involved.
But there's a bit where like they have an interaction and he kind of does, he kind of
does a Leandro.
He's like, I don't trust you.
You had the Black Rage.
I think you still have the Black Rage.
But we're not freaking out, am I?
He's like, no, but I can tell.
And he's like, he basically goes, he orchestrates a mission where the little fortress they're
in with, he brings the Spear of Tolesto back to like their vault of goodies and they store
it in this base.
And there's a tech marine just like, don't touch anything.
And Astaroth orchestrates a test where he, I think he stages, it's an Alpha Legion invasion
of the fortress and he makes it all up and he blows up a bunch of stuff and it's all
to check Rathen's not falling into the Black Rage by like stressing him out.
That's the kind of guy this guy is.
He's also the only one who didn't really trust the Primaris Space Marines because when they
were like given to the Blood Angels, the Mechanicus and stuff, they're like, oh, these Space Marines,
they haven't got any problems, if you know what I mean.
And he's like, I have no idea what you mean.
But Astaroth's like, no, mate, I don't care what these newfangled Space Marines are called,
they're going to have rage in it.
No, no, no, no, no, no, don't worry about it.
It's cool.
He's like, no, mate, no, no, you get angry.
You're angry all the time.
I should know I've killed like a hundred of my brothers or something crazy.
And he also hunts down other successors as well.
Like any, any Blood Angel successor, he's the guy who's like going to cut their heads
off because he actually finds out that his criticism was valid because he kills a Red
Wing chapter Space Marine.
And the Red Wings are like, hang on, who's this?
And he's like, oh, Astaroth, it's kind of like we have like a thing where one of your
brothers die and they're like, oh, but we're Primaris, we don't have, what do you want
about it?
He's like, well, what's going on with your mate over there?
So he kills him.
He also has an elite group of five chaplains known as the Aerolim.
And the Aerolim are interesting because they are completely clad in like black armor, no
adornments other than they have a Blood Angels logo on both their pauldrons in white and
they have big wings and they just guard his secret base of operations, which only the
chapter masters of the Blood Angels successors in Dante know about.
It's like, we don't, and everyone's like, we don't know.
We don't want to know where this guy lives.
He's weird.
Keep him away.
He's strange.
He also has an artificial suit of armor that's like all arterial.
It kind of looks like, like the twin of Mephiston's armor.
And he carries around a power axe that's just called the Executioner's Axe.
And he likes to cut people's heads off.
And he already was looking a bit kind of gaunt and scary and it makes him look even more
so.
So that's Astaroth the Grim.
And he's a creepy guy.
I was about to say, I feel like he, I hear the Duke Nukem thing where it's always like
Slayer, where he goes like, you don't have the Black Rage?
That's too bad.
It's like,
It's not for pussies.
Duke Nukem, no, is that Duke Nukem?
Or is that?
I can't remember.
But essentially there are some variations among some death companies.
So there is the angels in Carmine who most death companies are like what the original
Blood Angels one, which is just a black with the red X's on them.
But this one apparently angels in Carmine have Alabasta white, specifically Alabasta
white.
I don't know what is specific, but essentially they have that with white and they have black
backpacks.
Maybe they thought like I was a bit of a fashion show, we're not like the other people we found
out.
The flesh terrors are interesting one.
There's not many flesh terrors probably at this point, or they need help.
The first terrors have the, no Seth is a, he'll be back, he'll be back.
They kind of follow most of the same scheming, but except they kind of have like a pale gray
and they have red helmets for their death company and their back, oh and their backpack
and pauldrons apparently.
It's a bit of an odd choice there.
It's like an inversion of their normal kind of colors.
The Lamenters, Colin mentioned them earlier, these poor boys, they back.
Thirteenth founding my beloved.
I was about to say, do you know about their interactions with the Black Rage that much
Colin?
So I know like the gist of what, like how they came about and stuff.
It was with the, you know, the cursed founding, the mechanicus was like, we're going to, we're
going to mess with things a bit.
Let's see if we can improve Space Marines, which I don't think is an inherently bad idea.
I don't think the Emperor would throw a fit over that regardless of what the Inquisition
and anyone else might say.
He'd probably be like, if you can make it better, go nuts.
Except they didn't quite get it.
So the Lament, early on it was like, they're free.
No Black Rage, no, no Red Thirst, the Ventra's doing pretty good.
It would seem that however they did have the downside initially of, you know, they didn't
have those two curses.
They had their own curse, which is just supernaturally bad luck.
I mean, that's like, I've tried a Dark Souls build with like the luck build and it didn't
really do much for me, but the Lament is here.
They even had worse luck.
Yeah.
They got, they, they did not put points into luck in their Fallout special score.
They've got the video of a yellow color scheme as well.
Oh my God.
So difficult to paint.
Screw the yellow, that tiered, like the checkerboard pattern on their shoulder plate.
No thank you.
But with time it was eventually revealed that no, actually the Red Thirst and Black Rage
were not cured out of their gene seed and they still have to deal with that on top of
being the unluckiest people in the galaxy.
I think it was stated in some way.
I think their Black Rage just came about initially, I think with the opening of the Great Rift
as well.
So like they would like, I think, well, maybe not the opening of the Great Rift.
I think it came like way later and they weren't ready for it because they didn't, they didn't
have a death company at that time.
So I thought it came about a bit earlier.
Like I remember like something happened.
It was like they were protecting civilians and then someone noticed like, oh, don't tell
me this is the Black Rage.
So like one of the people in charge was like, like just blow up our position.
We're gonna die anyways, either from like the, whoever they were facing or their insane
brothers give us an honorable death.
And it was like, like they asked the civilians for permission first, which was actually really
cool.
Who do you feel worse for?
The Lamenters or is it the Celestial Lions?
The ones like hunted by the Inquisition?
Probably, probably the Lamenters.
Did you just say Eldar?
Yeah.
All right.
There's my real answer.
Oh boo hoo.
Two space marine chapters have bad times.
Oh no.
I think probably the thing with the lions, right?
They could have kept their mouth shut for just like a little bit and then secretly gone
to Terra, but they didn't.
And we're like, fuck you Inquisition.
We're gonna report on you.
The Inquisition, the agency with unlimited power over everyone in the, we're gonna tell
on you.
It's like, all right, you're morally right.
What did you think was gonna happen?
What's the, I was saying random side track.
What's the Eldar craft world that kind of gets along with the Blood Angels?
Cause I know I've read it in a few books where they, there's one of them, which is like,
oh, Imperium are scum, but those Blood Angels, they aren't, they are honorable.
I think I ended in the Blood Angels work together to fight the Tyranids, if I remember.
But that could be wrong.
That could be wrong.
Some Eldar has like an okay relationship with Eldar.
That's just Eldar in general.
I don't know.
I know they did, like the Eldar worked with the Grey Knights at one point.
Yeah, that was I, I ended.
Yeah.
I can't remember it.
People they are able to remember, let us know in the chat.
I know Bael Tan and Tal are our kind of friends, but I've somehow-
Actual goats, both of them.
Yeah, it's cause real recognize is real.
Yeah, literally.
Especially the Dark Elves.
I didn't go well.
But speaking of other ones that have differentiation, there is the Angels Numinous, who are kind
of, ah, they're dickheads, these boys.
These guys, they don't like, for most of the other ones, they just like their death, they're
like their company is very much a, the Battle Brothers, you know, oh, poor guys for the
Black Raid, at least give him a good death.
The Angels Numinous don't give a flying fuck, they just, they literally, they immediately
think of them as cannon fodder.
They'll shoot their own death company groups.
They are pretty much just, that might be the worst position for a space Marine, other than
if you are strapped, a psycho strapped with blanks in Avedon's ship.
Yeah.
Poor guy.
The last one is, ah, it's one of the original founding members of the Grey Knights.
Yeah, that guy Avedon's got is like a, like just a bear rug or something.
He was one of the Dark Angels, he was called Epimetheus, yeah.
That's from, ah, his, his eyes are missing, he's a psychic, he wears two blanks.
Yeah, they stitch his eyes, stitch his mouth closed, sew two blanks to his back.
Is he the one who won V1's Lord of Change in that book?
Is that the same Grey Knight?
Yes.
Because he's like, he's like, I'm going to take a 10,000 year like secondment to this
planet to keep it from falling into the wrong hands.
And he wakes up and he's like, what's new bitches?
Horace Harrison character coming back from the dead.
Oh no, Stitches.
Poor guy.
That might be one of the worst fates, honestly.
And he just sits in Avedon's like ship, just mewling for pain.
The last one is the Angels.
He was rescued though, I think.
Was he?
Oh, didn't think that.
I'm sure recently he got rescued, but I might be wrong.
Lucky day.
Well, he's putting my eyes in misery.
The last one is the Angel Sanguine, who they pretty much don't give their death company
or people who fall into the black crate a chance.
They just kind of strap them something called the Tablet of La Strillo.
I think I said that right in there, the fortress monastery.
And really enough, they, it's like those who regain their senses are presented with the
Shroud of Lamartie.
So this is obviously a later addition to their practices.
You don't really come back from the black raid.
I think it's probably one of the things like it's just mostly those who are able to just
like suppress it.
You know, you see Horus, but you don't say it's Horus there.
You just like, I'm just ignoring the fact that's not Horus.
But there are a few notable characters we need to go through for the death company.
Some of these are so badass.
There's a few, Andy might have to fill in for me because there's so many.
Can I mention one of the, sorry, good?
Did we mention the, I don't remember their name.
I made it shorter than a long time ago.
The guys who made a deal with like with the demon prince.
Oh yes, the one they don't see Horus.
They see that.
Yeah, when they get the black rage, they don't see Horus.
They see their first chapter master doing a deal with Sinch.
And they're given like the same deal, but none of them have fallen to chaos yet.
Yeah, every time they fall to the black rage, they're offered to join chaos and they go,
nah, mate, that's cringe.
Also, can I mention the Carmine blades, the guys who Astarath found and they were like,
oh, we're ultra marine successors.
And he's like, bitch, please you're wearing red armor and look at your brother over there
frothing at the mouth.
And he's like, I'll kill him.
He's like, yeah, just, just letting you know, guys, you are blood angel successors.
And they're like, oh, what?
He's like, yeah, sorry.
Really?
Yeah, they're really upset about it.
I'm cooking.
They're upset because they know they can never be ultramarines.
There are also some chapter successors who do things like they do cannibalism or they
drink blood to stave off the black rage.
The sons of malice do it.
Yeah.
So some, some have workarounds with the black rage, but there's some fun little, that's
kind of the fun with the blood angels.
So color schemes are all basically red or black.
I'm not sure.
Lamenta.
Also one that you mentioned Andy about they, they were, they thought they were ultramarines,
but they're actually blood angels.
They're carmine, carmine blades.
Yeah.
Oh, poor.
I remember them because the poor guys just discovered they are blood angels.
And then like not long after they turned up to the devastation of ball and they're like,
we're so here to represent.
And then they got, I think they got actively trashed to the point where I won their sergeants
became their chapter master.
Cause he was like, Oh my gosh.
Like, yeah, yeah.
They're like, Wow, you'll do.
He's the guy who said like, he's one of the few people who voted against going.
Cause he wasn't one of the younger members of the chapter.
And he was like, Oh my God, I'm chapter master.
Also the angels, the million are like, bro, we should just tell the imperial and we have
this floor and the blood angels hate them.
They're like, no, shut up, shut your mouth.
And that's their whole character thing.
They're just like, we should be honest with the imperials.
But I hate you.
Don't they like, I hate you.
You're a yuck.
Honesty in the imperial disgusting.
Do we have any more donations to go through?
Or if I just, we do, we have five donations.
Colin joining me with that one.
Okay.
Well, let me, first off, Zenan, welcome to lore criminal.
And then Parker Sunderland with the five.
I see Collins five head and that activates.
Dante fittingly.
I fall into the black rage when somebody says that there are no good guys in 40 K real on.
She's the goat.
I'll take this next abomination.
Thank you for the 110 try.
Try the currency abbreviation is T R Y.
In my Rizzo's dreams, I see that God, you'd promise you'd text me there someday, but you
never did.
Well, I'm Ohio now.
It's a special good.
Thank you.
It's the profile for me.
Thank you.
He comes back.
Oh, there's another American one though.
Tom Warren with the, if I saw John wogs booth, I would probably go after him.
So maybe Americans do have the black rage.
Light again.
And the fun fact, my favorite chaplain is or was a death company chaplain.
Apollos is a straight up beast.
Somehow Seth is less angry than him.
Very nice.
Damn.
Mr. Me love again.
He says, it's simple.
We eat.
Thank you for the donation, brother.
I love it.
Thank you.
Some notable characters though, for the death company, I had to start with the absolute
badass.
You've got a new model, Mr. Lamar T's himself Lamar T's kind of has a bit more to his history,
but the sort of boiled down version is that he was a brother of the, um, just the normal
blood angels.
And unfortunately, like most of them, he fell to the black rage.
And just as, as about, just when he was about to be executed by Aserath, the dude was like,
nah, nah.
So he, he coherently demanded that he live so that he could fight more of the emperor's
enemies.
Obviously Aserath was not prepared for that amount of Riz.
So the dude kind of backed off.
He's like, not used to, not used to the bitches talking back.
So he's a bit, he was just like, I can take it.
I can tell you sure, dude.
You sure?
I can handle it.
Just one more way.
Everyone's seen a, someone here watch it's always sunny in Philadelphia.
Is there one?
I've seen a few episodes.
Frank and they did like, they reenacted the chess drama that's happened recently when
Frank's trying to cheat in chess and he puts the thing up his rear end.
Oh my gosh.
I've not seen this.
But the problem is it's, the dude stopped like, oh, I'm not going to do this.
The chess law drama here, supposedly was it Magnus, Mag, Carl Magnuson, Carl Magnuson.
I don't know which one he thinks he played against someone who was cheating.
And then the whole rumor verse was like, someone put something up there.
Oh, that did like Morse code buzzes.
And there's a always sunny in Philadelphia per se where they reenact that.
And it's so funny.
Frank, I did a thing, did that.
Yeah.
With the boxing chess where they, he put the thing up the guy's bum and then he was boxing
and then they play chess and it's just like, at the side of the stage.
But Lamartes himself, sorry, you're bringing it back to blood angels somehow.
Lamartes himself was resistant and he could handle it.
Lamartes was lost in the grip of the black rage, but such was his willpower that he was,
he's somewhat able to stay sane.
And this was kind of a first for the chapter.
Most of the time it was literally just a death sentence before it will be for him.
But he was spared lightly by Astaroth.
He's not used to sparing people and he's somewhat now become their, like their greatest chaplain.
And he leads death company.
He's nicknamed the guardian of the lost, which goes really hard.
I think a lot of blood angel things often just like it's the blood something or like the space
full thing is just wolf thing.
So guardian of the lost.
And if any other things I've missed there, Andy, you want to tap onto Lamartes or?
He's kind of one dimension in the light.
Like that's all this guy.
Yeah, he's a cool guy in that way.
He's just a crazy guy that refuses to be too angry, but just angry enough to be like, right,
send in Lamartes, put him in, like, freeze him, put him in the cold box for a few months.
All right, we need Lamartes, get him out there.
And he basically is like, I will try and like focus and organize the death company as best I can
by frothing at the mouth himself with like, I'm like, you guys, yeah, kill him.
Is a his models mask is pretty sick. I do like that.
The next one is reclusive, Joris or yours.
Maybe the dude is no longer with us because he fought Abaddon during the seventh black crusade
with alongside death company and other elements of the blood angels.
And such was the pounding that the black legion would take from Joris and just all of the death
company around him that on this world that they were fighting on Abaddon and the ones when they
eventually won, they would desecrate all the corpses except reclusive, Joris and the rest of them.
His death company, but they were in their broken black ceremony.
They were seated in like makeshift thrones and they arrayed the killed black legionaries and elements
of chaos around them as a sort of massive, you know, I guess for throne.
It is a massive pillar of celebration to such was the destruction of reclusive, Joris.
I think there's some pretty cool artwork, maybe of that.
He'd be pretty cool. But I think there may be a few be hard to find that chaplain.
This is the one who this guy for calm, the betrayer and lived.
The story is that he fought calm on a world with other elements of death company.
This is a chaplain himself.
And I think this one actually has some really sick artwork.
People can find it off.
Yeah, he's a he's an artwork character where he's on like one cover of a thing.
It's like, what did he do? He was on the cover of the thing.
I think he's always that guy.
Yeah, I know. Really, really cool grafted, like unique armor, the black and red and also the jump back.
I think did which I hope to God they bring that back.
So cool. Go ahead.
Oh, no. So you for you first.
He managed to get away with fighting Khan and he only lost an arm.
That's the only thing he could win, obviously.
But the rest of his entire death company did fall to Khan and his warriors.
I think I think Khan killed them single handedly. So the horrific there's one I liked to know high chaplain carnivore.
And this one is not blood angel. He's a flesh terror death company chaplain.
He's a high chaplain, much like Astorath is.
But he was possibly one of the longest serving death company chaplains.
So he was served and his role for over 250 years, which is pretty crazy long amount of time to be surrounded by like essentially the suicide squad.
So he did quite well.
Eventually, he did die in the devastation of Baal.
RIP Erasmus Tycho.
I feel like this guy might have been in the war.
All right, if Eli knows this boy, he was supposed to be Dante's successor at one point.
This guy, unfortunately, during the second war of Armageddon, he had half of his face just completely melted off by an orc attack.
And he had to wear like this sort of mask on the side of his head.
He kind of went mad. And eventually the dude, unfortunately, would lose himself to the Black Rage.
He would pass in the third war Armageddon, which actually is quite a while later, but someone who was going to be so good, he did his.
He has cool models.
No success as Dante.
His whole thing was just like, I was so beautiful.
Now I look like this. And that was what really like broke him.
And there is like a book where he's in it.
I think it's actually in the omnibus. He's in it briefly in like a side one when he's not afflicted with the Black Rage and he's like a normal blood angel at the time.
And that's quite interesting. But he, I think he fights like a demon and it barely like he barely survives.
And it's all like, oh, you should have died today.
And I was like, foreshadowing, because the fate he's going to get is going to be worse. That's sad.
And he was going to be like he was being groomed to be the chapter master.
And then he bows to the Black Rage and they were like, yes, not. Oh, well.
Dante still cannot die. My poor boy.
You know, there's a phrase in the UK that beat like beating a dead horse.
I don't know if that is in the in America as well. Yeah, like Dante is a corpse.
There's poor guy. Dante is beating a dead horse with another dead horse.
That's what it is. Yeah.
Old. Next one is called Moriah or Moriah, the Chosen.
This one is super cool. I think Colin Ely might specifically appreciate this one.
He was a blood angel who fell during during the battle. He fell and he was mortally wounded.
The Sanguannari priests at the time thought we can save him. So they interred him into a dreadnought.
The only problem was, is that when he awoke, the dude awoke with a black ring.
There's a box that woke up and he was pissed. And he was, I think, one of the first death company dreadnoughts.
And supposedly, I think he's the only one at the moment now, other than the possibly newer ones,
which will be the brutalist, primaris, English, not official. No, he's the first named one.
The only named one at the moment.
But supposedly he suffers so badly from the Black Rage and the Red Thirst that they actually have tubes of blood
and they constantly pump it into his little sarcophagus.
There's a little bit of like, giggling mint.
I'd love to see a model of that, the conversion.
They like outfitted his dreadnoughts and like intravenously feed him blood.
They have like ports and stuff. I just like the idea that like they finish the battle,
they deactivate the dreadnought and the labor service are just moving the sarcophagus.
And you can just hear him going, ah, ah, ah, like nonstop. It's like sedate him, sedate him, please, quickly.
How do we sedate a dreadnought?
I just love that as the ultimate version of a wind up toy where like you just gotta let him go.
The dude deserves a bug tools at that point.
So he's fun just because he is ultimately like, dreadnoughts, people who are inside the space,
is like dreadnoughts are already pissed because they don't have any sensation.
This guy only has one emotion.
I just like, I like the way you said that, just like, oh, he's potentially one of the most like hard,
like suffering the most of any character.
And he's like, he's fun.
Honorable shout out, speaking of to the space brain to dreadnought, who I'm not convinced the ultra-reliant steal from the blood angels.
He wakes up, where's Magnus?
Where's Heldrake?
Where are they?
One shot by a statue.
Oh, do you know the word he says when he's like, is Magnus here? And then Titus goes, he's not.
He's just upset.
He's like, I'll beat the hell out of his sons instead.
Yeah, that's great.
The next one, as we mentioned some things earlier, is Mephiston, who was a previous member of the Death Company.
We have a beginner expert on him.
We do. He was once called Calistarius of the Librarius.
He's a model in Death Hulk? No, Space Hulk.
The Space Hulk board game, which is has some of the most glorious blood angel models ever created so far in terms of terminators.
Really cool.
Calistarius would one day eventually fall to the Black Rage.
He's a Librarius, so I actually imagine the idea of a Librarian who's fallen to the Black Rage is kind of a little bit more hardcore because that guy just does not care about coming back.
But it was whilst he was sent to fight in the Second War of Armageddon, tons and tons of orcs.
I mean, ungodly amounts of orcs.
And I think in the book, I remember they describe it, he just starts like by hand, like just clawing orcs down, like making them burst from the inside out and reaping them.
But unfortunately, then he was buried under a massive mountain of rubble.
If I'm not incorrect, I think it was in a monastery just fell on him, as it does.
And for seven days, he would claw his way out, fighting the Black Rage within himself.
But when he emerged, he had conquered it, unlike was some of the characters earlier, like Lamartes has pushed it way down or the Spear of Tolesto has somewhat helped stave off.
Who's the character? Raffan, is it? Raffan?
Yeah, Raffan cheats. He goes like, hey, it shoots a big beam that like they fight the word bearers and won the books and it just disintegrates all the word bearers.
But if you have the blood of sanguineous, you don't get harmed.
But then during the Civil War, they're fighting themselves. So it doesn't do that.
But it does like purge the Black Rage from all the Astartes that are afflicted by it, including Mephiston.
He's just like, oh, cheat code. Amazing.
So it gives a little bit of sanguineous love, you know, daddy, oh, don't say that.
But when he emerged, he had conquered the Black Rage. But he also, Calistarius died inside that rubble and someone new emerged and he called himself Mephiston.
I remember the specific words of the book, because I've written, I did two videos on this guy, had to do because I was so in love with him.
When he emerged, I think the exact wording was he emerges a new person and the name written upon his soul was Mephiston.
No idea where that comes from.
That's so sus, bro.
Yeah. And again, initially, people, when they looked at him, they were like, well, you know, the sanguine priest, even Astarath turned up and it was like, okay, I'm taking heads, you know, I mean, let's circumcise this guy's face off.
Like this guy doesn't want to be around.
But something was like Mephiston himself.
Again, Calistarius was kind of dead. It was like the way he described it is in Calistarius, the one affected by the Black Rage is like he watched someone else's life for a TV almost like he was, but he knows he's not Calistarius and then when he emerged conquering the Black Rage, he looks even more like gaunt and kind of scary like a vampire.
Whereas most blood angels look all beautiful and handsome and better than four.
Apart from Astarath, he's ugly as hell. Everyone's like, yeah, he's creepy.
And they hate him as well.
They hate him.
Yeah, it's more like, yeah, it's more Astarath hates Mephiston.
Mephiston would go on to essentially show like massive, because he's not really about him this video but to massive skip in his story, he will go to show that in the war, there are two angels that fight for the soul of the blood angels this is located near Baal and Baal Secundus.
And there's one angel that is of gold of purity, it looks quite similar to the Sanguinoor, obviously for the uninitiated the Sanguinoor is like, essentially, an angel that literally is of the blood angels chapter and comes in their time of need.
And then there was another angel which is one of hate and darkness and rage.
Each time a son of Sanguinius fell to the black rage, the darker angel or the one of hate and rage would grow stronger. At this point in the kind of law so many have fallen to the black rage and so many die in the death companies that the darker angel looks to be winning in the fight.
So Mephiston essentially agrees to become what is the equivalent of the Sanguinoor and becomes an avatar of the angel of death, literally, the angel of hate and rage to sort of stem the tide I think when they describe it, you know, foe warps Sanguinius essentially
says to him, if you don't do this, it's going to be bad for the chapter, but if you do this, it'll be bad for you and you're going to hate your life and he's like, ah, and he says no. He says I don't want to do it.
And then the angel like reveals himself to be Sanguinius and he's like, Oh my god, I got cucked by my dad, you know how awkward.
It's like literally being offered a promotion in front of your manager and then the boss was behind him and you said no. Yeah. And not being funny, that's also why Mephiston, why Astaroth doesn't like him because he's just like, I'm the edge lord of this chapter.
You can't do my thing. I'm the one with the nephal, the the Erolin with like the jet black and then like Dandé's got the golden feathers. That's my thing. Stop it.
I listen to Lincoln Park, not you. Exactly. Yeah. I become so numb.
But this is this is kind of the edge like these are more like the main characters. I don't know if there's any more minor ones that maybe Andy you thought of or Colin.
Unless I unless I completely missed you all saying in which case I'll feel really bad. Thalassian Joros.
I think I did cover him a little bit. He's the one who had the throne made from him. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. He's cool.
There's only a few other cool moments people remember I've got a bit of the end of that as well but I'm totally the last kind of main section which is the primaris problem.
So as of the book darkness in the blood, the blood angel so the blood angels fight the devastation of Bali against the tyrannids. So many blood like they are like 27,000 blood angels, most of them die, but they managed to get saved by the endowment
crusade did a great job fighting tyrannies well done. And they get restarted with the primaris Marines who come from both sides call them Mars.
And it is noted they are natives of. They do they do take people who are the natives of those chapter homeworlds. So like the people who were the primaris recruits, they are.
You're very funny about ball random side point balls not like outside of the space for yourself it is not progressive 10,000 years they are still tribes living in horrid.
It's still like, so even if they return like, wow, this shithole did not get better in terms of thirst water.
I think the giant scorpions have gotten bigger. Oh no.
After the tyrannids landed on the place.
Water is called quickly because it's so, it's so funny. Well you see it's water right you know, you know you'll see you're traveling throughout balls.
You'll see you're in barren shitholes.
You see you know you're thirsty because you're a caveman tribe person.
You're like, oh, it's in this blasted hellscape desert there's water, and you go to drink it and then your body instantly dehydrates and you die.
It's like a gelatinous cube isn't it and DND like acid.
It sucks. But they keep it on purpose. But a lot of the primaris marines they are from ball, and they appear at the time of you know post devastation of Bob Dante's like, okay, thank you for all these new recruits the we won't die hell yeah.
The problem is is that when they were fighting in essentially what's Imperium Nihilus like half the, you know, half the Imperium is, you know, cut off from the light of terror.
And then the phyton went a bit too ham, and he kind of lost a little bit of control of his power because there's so much black rage power in the universe, like it's almost like a magical thing that affects people that it's all washed over the primaris Marines and it activated the black
rage marines. And even after this other reports came that in other chapters who have been reinforced with primary stock, even the one we mentioned with asteroth, the primaris Marines, despite not having maybe the red thirst, the gene for the black ray or the gene for the
red thirst, the black rage is something beyond that it's a psychic wound. And now the primaris are falling to it. I just let the way you described it as like a software update, it just went never went.
Windows 10 updated. Yeah, I'm not going to Windows 11 I refuse.
And then the blood angel open his eyes and all you heard was do do do do do do.
And then there's only few cool moments just like just finish off here which is again because I've already death company is not a huge malware but cool moment was one that Colin mentioned earlier was during the devastation of bald Dante basically goes,
they're like, one, they hide in the Tower of Shame, it does your Dante when you let him out and get the keys out. I mean, what's the point we're all going to die. So the entire like death company like dedicated like sort of prison tower, just flooded out and all the
people just power of Amareo I think it is. They all died I think but they had a good one last stand. One last thing that I think is really cool possibly is done at the final end of the devastation of ball.
And most of the blood angels sort of realized it was over Dante declares like his big last charge of the blood angels will ride out, you know, they'll, you know, right out and die in style you know they'll go for it and they all assemble for a massive
charge of like all the different sions of the blood angels and he just says to them, we are all death company now even to like the normal Marines to like the mortal human to fighting alongside them. Everyone on ball was death company.
I thought that was, again, it's one of the coolest moments in that book. It fucked hard on all I have read my favorite books.
Yeah, yeah.
I have Dante does somewhat succumb to the black rage. When he fights a swarm Lord, and he melters it to the face and acts of mortality is it in the guts and and then he dies. And then he actually just straight up dies but then sanguineous says, he does such an amazing job he's like, yes, I did I live 1500 years I'm so ready to die.
I know you're ready.
Is this the exchanges it's like, I did such a good job, buddy. That's so good. I can die.
Yeah, like sanguineous sanguineous says, nah, and he's like what, and then he starts, because pain starts to re enter the body and he wakes up somewhat cured from his black rage.
And he's like he literally is like, begs to die like let me rest. I'm so damn tired. But I feel sorry for Corbulla and the apothecary is just hearing wake up again. Oh geez, not again.
Just like their poor chapter master just like, you know, 1500 year old Dante, the legend himself weeping being like let me die. I'm so
tired of you. Or you pass him in the hall of the the port of tomorrow's day is like how are you chapter master. I'm doing shit.
Good to be here. Yep. Let me know.
I want to die and sanguineous like no you. No, no, no.
I mean, that's most of unless I've, there's another cool things people want to mention about death company I mean there is a few more things which is like their equipment is like they more favor, like a lot of other chapters it's more for like
surviving engagement where death companies don't care so they've often favored things like hammers and just like chainsaws and other things like close combat heavy quarters heavy hitting because they just they're just designed to get in there and be like furious
about it. But other than that I think that's most of death company law everyone else has got any cool tidbits they want to add or any thoughts and opinions.
Might be that cool. How do they deal with them in the death watch.
I don't recall any law about blood angels. I think it's like when they're seconded.
I think other blood angels successors keep an eye out.
I'm going back to the watch fortress and talking to the watch captain is like so, um, why is your bolt round in his head.
I know the dark, because I know the dark angels have a whole thing where they use, because they pledge so many members to the death watch they have a clandestine like branch of it where they use the death watch's resources to hunt the fallen, but like, just like at the
same time there's also a bunch of the blood angels accessor just being like Tim's looking a bit stressed keep an eye on him.
So just go between the branches.
Like, if I think for like particularly like if we're going on models and all that kind of stuff. So, typically if people are playing on tabletop.
If they are not within range of a chaplain they are essentially they lose the ability to score points I believe they can't hold an objective I don't think they're quite battle shocked or maybe people have to double correct me on this.
They essentially without their chaplains they essentially use this on tabletop, they get things that allow them extra. I mean blood angels detachments right now, as of time recording is pretty strong.
It's blood angel players are eating good they have some sick models come out for them. I think with their like basic marina like the primary stock, the, particularly the jump back ones are super strong at the moment because they're not high point costs
and they've got strong opinions about how they probably don't look as cool as the, they don't look as cool their first born ones because a bit more iconography. Yeah, if you'd probably agree, but they come up they, the artworks good a bit though, particularly the new box
is particularly fantastic so people are listening, go check that out. If you're a blood angels player you're going to get a lot of love this death company stuff, even in like conversion stuff like there's so many good conversion bits out there for blood angel
players. And I think that's a good thing because it's a death company particularly as well so everyone is listening and they're like doing their painting all that stuff have a check out of that because it's pretty damn awesome.
And I think that's a good thing because it's a great way to get to the blood angels because a lot of other chapters don't really like the altruism don't really have a kind of their own gene floor group, you know, I mean like it's the group you like we don't want to talk about
that much.
Oh, the imperial frist like I can't go into hibernation. Oh that sucks. What's your floor.
We do have I believe another question for the week question of the week from all the lovely people out there. The answers first. Yes, first of the previous week as well, which was on our previous episode on vampire counts go check that out if you haven't yet
because one of my friends.
It's peak episode.
Yeah, I represent so strong. Yeah, such a good opener.
And from for the last questions of the week, who would you lock up in a room together you know Warhammer characters.
I would put the city of scaven blight and Altdorf in a cage.
Crazy answer.
Probably not a new signal but fantasy fantasy.
The scaven scaven blight now is a is a no. Are we including under Altdorf like the scaven.
I just like the image of Yeah, just take the two largest cities of the warhammer world.
Take them both. Why not.
Is it like the Simpsons movie where they get a big glass dome. Oh my god.
I don't know how the planet of the sorcerers have the upside down pyramids like having that fighting on top of a hive city. That's where the and they're just going like this to meet in the middle.
It's the Galactic Imperial headquarters and the Council of Ricks.
I mean, Archeon has my vote. Not like who would win. Yeah, man. I don't got his helm, like as in his character had a badass helm like Archeon's. Oh my god.
It's really easy.
It's really different.
You don't have to have a hole on top of the helmet which would be the point. Abaddon's excuses being, I don't want to cut my hair.
It's probably like a closed doesn't have it on 30k.
But he has a top notch. Yeah, I think it's like a top not port.
Maybe it's got a little.
He's got a he's got a miniaturized version of like one of those Star Wars hanger bay shields on the top of his helmet so it's still airtight not fits.
I feel like his more ridiculous, like, even the additions.
Complain about that how, how does baseball's get that beads in their helmets like, it's a good that's another one.
And, and then the last one which is just chosen because it's upsetting to speak and hear cookie cookie yus crumb. I think I said that right 4650.
I would lock up Colin with technist and see techless and see who comes out pregnant. Very good.
Someone sent me art of that and it was about as horrific as you would say you are.
You disgusting people we love you. Oh my goodness.
I think we had a different new question the week I think our one this week was simply just what makes you rage.
It can be anything could be a law moment. It could be scenario or. Yeah, what would be the thing that that triggered the black rage within you. Yeah, just like, oh, oh, the most sanguine regards.
Oh, the yuck.
Oh, I can't got tricked into banging a slashee demon Abaddon wouldn't fall for that. That's right. Abaddon is a king.
Madman. You know what, there's a there's a there's a there's a weird thing in law is like the people who, like, is Abaddon and the people who talk about Abaddon and the people who talk about Abaddon like, oh my god it's Abaddon oh my.
And then when you're actually like Abaddon, like when tunnels met like, it's like being a massive fan of the Beatles, and then you meet Ringo Starr.
Well, it's fine. He did Thomas the Tank Engine that was pretty cool.
And he's got integrity.
I think it's cool. Oh my god, reminding me of that thing of like, oh my god, like it was like 10 years ago this me like oh my god Drake is coming to the party. Oh my god.
Oh man that's wild.
I would like to hear one. Okay, so good. I'm so I'll give Abaddon I appreciate that yeah Mike the Bertunian Bertone and he spelled it right, finally, is like Abaddon just bruise in his spare time, it was it's like someone drink it was like, this tastes like engine oil.
Yeah, yeah, and the Black Legion book. Yeah, but Abaddon was like genuinely proud of it like, it's my crap IPA.
He has a man cave inside the vengeful spirit that's like, Barry, he's like, check out this massive thing I killed. Isn't that cool. Like yeah yeah. Do you want a beer? Sure.
Why have you washed your hair?
I mean, it's a world your president didn't he like was I actually like yeah this is like this is good stuff. Yeah, you're buying WordPress is like, yum yum.
What is this?
It has two different hobbies it's smoking, smoking meats and making donations and we have five more. So we've got Donkeyman USA for the $5 dues. Colin is a maid, gone stuff. It's more trash than you're going to think's
about.
I remember hearing about it.
Fire. What is it.
Corona fireballs, zero ultra.
Oh my gosh.
Corona, Corona light, fireball and monster energy zero ultra.
There's no relation.
I don't think I've even seen his face.
Smashing badger.
Two quid.
Erasmus Tycho succumbed to twink.
I'm not sure what it is.
Oh yeah from light for the 22 try thank you. Where is a polis lexicanum don't do him justice.
I still not read his book, but I've heard it sucks which is a bit of a shame.
I've read that flesh terror book, and it's the worst book of ever. Yeah, yeah that one. Yeah, well he's on the cover. He's like, where's the, oh have I and I just know I did read it and I've my brain has scrubbed it from my memory.
That's the most nothing burger ever had.
Ryan Isaacs, Isaacs for fire bucks. What is your take on on the wing space marine size man in the Beckwin books sanguineous return.
This is the already at home. This is the foe angel thing with to do with Constantine of Aldor.
You can see I think it's one of those things, I think they're gonna. That's his own, like, I get like I discussed that in like five minutes is a huge topic and Dan Abner is cooking with something where he wants, he's the dude named up to Constantine of Aldor
so he's obviously wants to bring back something huge.
So we'll have to see where that goes.
Oh crimson glory brother in Christ crimson is the team new version of world eaters.
Oh, coming from a man with a world eater.
Yeah, that's the picture of him fighting that.
insult to injury. I mean, those traders hate the supplement book in seventh edition.
Colin, I got the next one, h me love the two BGN Colin macho mojito for the next channel.
Go away.
Sorry, like, that's not a policy chaplain on the cover is do mass literally his name is do ma.
I got that book.
What is going esoteric again, I, I hope, is it pandemonium that drops because I'm desperate to stream my petunia night Dota 2 stream or Breton in the video.
I don't think we did a process.
That'll be the next video that Colin does for fantasy.
That's the three way back to backs, Horace heresy space.
We should just rename law crimes punish Colin and that's what the channels.
Something he might want to share something I want to read but should we also read the.
Right at the beginning.
For us to read some of his messages.
I saw some pretty maniacal ones.
It's right at the beginning.
So his first message is not going to be able to make it to the stream today my precious pookies kissy face. I've got my second shift ever to go to so I'll be back next stream, or the one after that, when I work on my hour.
Enjoy your moment of rest law criminals I'll be back.
How has s ex with vanilla Oreos, while moaning all I want for Christmas.
Okay, Colin probably had his lunch money stolen by his students, Colin buys used inmate underwear prisons, and he calls.
Okay, I'm not gonna read that one how puts the freezer so we can eat it later like ice cream.
He's got the hungry shark theme. What, what he sees woman at night. He looks batteries instead of a workout, how has to take a shot every time he says the weather is smells of weight is what appears when you say Beatles use four times
upside down and cook some straight on the stove. Colin looks like he dips his finger into his car oil to taste it.
Osama build.
Andy looks like he went to the hospital after trying to have sex with the top of a beer bottle.
Now he's too short. Okay, that that's all of them that is maniacal man.
I gotta try and hope that the algorithm doesn't understand what you're trying to say is just kill us but I also have a graph about calling that I'll read for you all, so I can drag a flow v2 yes, make sure some of the words are not
some of the bad ones. Here we go. I'm calling yeah I'm bald and free pancreas broke but I don't bother me late nights in the goon cave glow where I edge and let my fantasies flow down in the goon cave, I'm living my dream, sitting on my cup chair I'm the

I'm calling a goon and I'm owning my place.
Thank you. That was really good. But I'll be honest, when when I asked you guys, two years ago, second anniversary on Sunday, when I asked you guys about two years ago, do you want to do like collaboration channel, didn't think we'd get here, but no, it didn't.
It's good. It's good. If we're very quick I have time for another one that has to be bleeped out at certain points.
We listened to someone stream earlier. I mean AI song to finish off for the people here.
Dreams in the night of God so obscene whispering wishes under blanketed beams, hoping to find that as a fussy cream diving deep in an eldritch themed dream, tentacles twitch and the shadowy gleam, how stumbles forward feeling supreme with Cthulhu's echo in his bloodstream, he's on a quest for that cosmic cream.
It sounds like DL filling his veins, Howl's heart races breaking on chains, Lovecraftian love no one else can redeem in the void he finds his perverse dream, Shub, I can't do that one, Shub, as Turingan dances in the haunted house, eyes of madness cold and unseen, with every touch Howl senses the cream lost in the throne of astral regime.
Oh my god, as a fussy cries in silence so clean, among the stars where the minds are streamed, boundaries break with an otherworldly scream, Howl's lips coated in that infernal cream, Nihilata's whispers from the dark stream, howl's horrendous of the chaotic dream, seeking realms where only nightmarish beams illuminate paths to the forbidden cream.
Thank you everyone who's listening to the episode.
Thank you DJ Beast.
One last question from NeonLFGraves saying, Colin, how long did you sit on Grapeape Vegeta?
It took me about 30 minutes which is about 45 tries because at a certain point I would just get command grabbed and reset, I would just immediately try the battle.
I beat that fucking monkey though, holy shit, Frieza was right.
Thank you so much for the love there DJ Beast, we appreciate that.
And for everyone who made it this far and listened, hope you enjoyed some death company and some diabolical rhymes at the end.
He made this far, like, subscribe and again, where's Andy on my screen, merch, we have merch, hopefully we'll have the merch on the screen.
If you want that, go for it.
I think I'm the shame.
Should I also mention that we're planning to do a stream for our birthday on Sunday?
Yeah!
We had a birthday stream, Law Crimes is turning 2, we officially can do nothing.
But thank you everyone for watching, for listening, and we'll see you all very soon. Peace.
Oh, we're also live on Spotify, all that good stuff.
Cheers, love you.
Bye.
