One unbreakable shield against the coming darkness,
One last blade, forged in defiance of fate
Let them be my legacy to the galaxy I conquered
And my final gift to the species I failed ….

Bearzerker cooking tip: Grey Knight flesh pairs well with mushrooms and sweet sauces.

Bobby G : Primaris marines! Much chaos proof!
Grey knight : Can we copyright strike?

Najsu, my home brew Chapter "The Dark Knights" where made from Grey Knights Geen-Seed. My Astartes are pariahs not psykers(because why not?;) The Dark Knights are armored in "Etherium" Power Armour and armed with storm-bolters and "Katharsis" power weapons.

GrimDark as hell, baby! Keep it coming.

I've always thought it seems like a waste to let aspirants die. Even passing the first few trials proves they would make fantastic guardsmen if nothing else.

I personally would love to become something akin to a Grey Knight but that doesn't view the Emperor as a God to be blindly served. I would serve the Emperor's ideals of the Imperial Truth and I genuinely believe that a secular rationalist society emphasizing that humanity stand on its own two feet is the path to true happiness as many prominent philosophers believed. My physical shape is pretty good but I'd condition it more because just the initial tests would require a Delta Operator's level of physical fitness if not more. I think I would give it my best efforts but I'm not going to delude myself and say I'd make it. I will not break mentally but as to whether or not my body is strong enough for the tests and the eventual Astartes augmentations, is not entirely within my control. It would be a HUGE honor to have even been considered "Pure enough" to be brought for testing. I would feel like Guts (from Berserk) and the Doom Slayer in terms of the amount of straight pain I'll be bringing to demons. Great video, love your content, been watching for a couple of months as I got into 40k. Gonna finally hit that subscribe button. Keep at it

Listening to how the Grey Knights are Pretty Much Uncomfortable I realize something (Spoilers for Space Marine)


The Main Protagonist has dealt with the energies of Chaos and came out with not a Scratch or a hint of Corruption, While he was taken away by the black Templar's for questioning he's pretty much a Perfect Candidate to become a Grey Knight. Just wish there was a Space Marine 2

[PLETROMEX]

So if a demon feels pure pain just from a name. Would that mean if I screamed Kaldor Drago or Janus loud enough at it. Would it have the same effect?

[TheBlackBladder]

Chaos no problem . Except that one that got corrupted by the Genestealer patriarch.

[elimgarak]

Also wasn’t there a story a while back where they had to paint themselves in Sister blood because they weren’t pure enough?

[rosicroix]

Great video GDN ! Personally I don't think I'd ever make it into the Grey Knights, I doubt I'd ever make it through that trip to Xanadu .

[petersinton]

What about the grey knight of slanesh?Sure that's a thing that happened.

[JZUK]

And... How are they distinct from the custodes?

[bpraetorian]
