Wes, what about doing a deep dive into the lower levels of Holy Terra? What happened to the ancient cities of Earth? Care to speculate? Might start a very nice discussion!

Wes has gone full gigachad mode with these uploads man. So happy to see such an awesome youtuber into 40k.

Whats crazy is during the Iron Warriors and Hurd battle, Perurabo actually killed alot of them in melee combat. And the only affect the Hurd had on him and his custom made equipment was the dulling of the metallic shine, even though he was aged untold thousands of years.

Using the Illithid “Mind-flayers” and Elder Brains to portrayal the Medusae was an intriguing choice and surprisingly accurate comparison. Well done!

[Based]

Damn this is really becoming my favourite warhammer lore channel I'm a sucker for these long deep dives

[galaxysmp]

Can’t recall if you’ve mentioned them before but the Rangdan seem OP AF. I mean they managed to decimate the Dark Angels numbers at a time when they were the premier Legion. The Lions genius saw the 1st through in the end but the fact that it cost so much is telling.

[sstoney]

This list is good because it mostly involves 'fates worse than death."
Tons of creatures in 40k still horrifically kill you, but ones that cause horrific pain, suffering, and breakdown of consciousness over long periods of time are always worse than death...
And after typing that out im going to pray more attention to what media I consume lmaooo 😳

Nurgle: *makes plague zombies*
Also Nurgle to the Unquenched: “yeah not really my thing, keep your zombies away from my armored zombies”

[jonathanathor]

You know I don't if this is just me but these aliens actually feel alien compared to the orks and eldar and old ones. Kind of adds a sci fi element to the fantasy.

“The space marine power armor has an armored carapace that can stop almost all attacks from damaging the wearer” except every attack in 40k which seems to totally destroy them.

Another great video sir. Thank you.

A month ago I didnt know what 40k was, then I stumbled upon Wes, and now I'm so deep into this universe.
Keep going Wes!

Theory : if the Tyranids choosed to attack this galaxy, it's not only for the massive biomass they can harvest from major factions (mainly the Humans and the Orks), but also because all those creature would make fine addition into their gene bank to create more terrifying bio-weapons.

The Chimera remind me a little of the Cthulhu mythos’ Hounds of Tindalos. These “hounds” would hunt anyone that messed with time travel and could appear anywhere there was a corner.

13:27 for a “feeble old man” he managed to take down a nurgle titan and an army of chaos marines. So he is still a badass.

He was also one of the loyalist iron warriors.

Another fact, due to being aged so much, something happened to his face. So perturabo (the iron warrior primarch) said he should never show his face again.

So Dantioch made a unique helmet and jammed it onto his head, when it was red hot. So it fussed to his head.

He was also a very close friend with an imperial fist. Alexis Pollux and Barbaras Dantioch were close friends and when Dantioch died, Alexis cradle his body refusing to let anyone near him. He eventually did leave, but he had to relieved of duty by Guilleman himself.

Fun fact: even the chaos gods fear what dark and Eldrich horrors lie in the ghoul stars even the emperor didn’t want his great crusade to go there

Suggestion for the 10 most horrible aliens in 40k part 2: The Greater Catachan Barking Toad. Basically a virus bomb in amphibian form. If it gets attacked, it explodes, and when it explodes, half a kilometre surrounding it gets doused in toxic goo that can melt Baneblades or Terminator armour into a small corroded puddle.

[FlameJackstar]

I just wanna say that I highly appreciate your way of presenting this information. You really know how to talk and make this stuff exciting instead of just monologing bit after bit like others might do.

[kingarthurii]

I like how 3 of these creatures are kept as pets by the Dark Eldar, which just gives them all the more reason to keep the title as the most horrifying race in 40K.

[videowatcher]

They're not quite as horrifying as some of the monsters on here (at least not on a visceral, eldritch abomination level, like the Slaugth) but I think the Rak'gol definitely deserve a place on this list if for nothing else than their sheer brutality and incomprehensible methods/culture. Also, if the threat behind the "Pale Wasting" conflict is/was a race of Xenos, I think they definitely deserve a mention, if nothing else. Sadly, little to nothing is known about the conflict. Also, regarding the Megarachnids: EXTERMINATUS IMMEDIATELY. And not just regular Exterminatus. ALL THE EXTERMINATUS. And for good reason, too! Imagine if the Tyranids got their claws on the Megarachnids. The galaxy (and indeed the rest of the universe as well) would be even more colossally fucked than they already are.
