5 HORRIFYING Moments in Warhammer 40k Lore

Very spooky, but not as spooky as the prospect of the Majorkill Plushie loosing to a bunch of multicoloured T-Rexes, support the cause and get a life long cuddle companion here : www.makeship.com/products/majorkill-plush Or ya know, just jerk off to some hentai : www.patreon.com/majorkill

I remember reading a quote somewhere about the difference between terror and horror. "terror is seeing a monster charging at you; horror is realizing you cant move your legs."

If I had a dime for Everytime I read "how did it come to this" in a 40k story, I could afford multiple tabletop armies.

I love the image of Tzeetch picking up a greater demon and throwing them into the well and just sitting there going “hm. It would appear this one hasn’t come back either, just like the 1693957362 before it” and then Kairos comes out and it just sends Tzeetch completely upside down wondering the what and the how of this happening. This image brings me great joy seeing the god of change who is seemingly all knowing being absolutely stumped by something. And him trying to get some answers out of Kairos but Kairos is arguably the most fried being in all of warhammer

Whenever I read something about the night lord's I think about that time that the dark eldar gave them the creeps

“Trayzn acting like an immortal Ash Ketchum” Isn’t Ash already an immortal like the dude has been catching Pokémon for decades now and still hasn’t aged

Love how the most horrifying thing in the Warhammer universe is still just Alzheimers. The grimdarkest setting possible still can't fathom anything worse then losing your memories and faculties and being powerless to stop it

I few chapters that could be viewed as horror can be found in the Konrad Curze book. A group of salvagers found Konrad after Sanguinius threw him into space and somehow Conrad escaped his cryopod prison. The proceeds to kill everyone in the most Curzey way until one is left. For more Flayer Necron stuff Check out the Twice Dead King books, both are good but the first one is so good!

Man, i find a few Nightlords stories that are horrific. The story about how the heresy era night-lords war-band being doomed by their own very broken-nature. How whenever one of them arrogantly takes up the role of team leader, the rest of them will start to resent whoever takes up that mantle of guiding them to glory, in which then eventually set them up to be killed. Thus dooming the war-band in its entire to a steady demise, seemingly trapped in some insidiously predictable curse, Where they keep whittling down one warrior at a time, and further weakening the whole. Only to inevitably repeat the process, all-in-all being fully self-aware of their inevitable downfall that is coming. The curse of their primarchs own self hatred, evident for all to see. That shit kinda shook me, with how raw of a deal that is.

The halo stars are probably the creepiest things in warhammer, you have an ancient relic of a hyper advanced alien race that makes the recipient almost invincible and extremely strong, whatever causes this race to disappear must have been quite powerful

The tyranids might have counted as cosmic horror when Kryptman first found traces of them. As might the daemons during the betrayal at Calth. But not now, I think. Even the existence of the King in Yellow, or confirmation of the Plateau of Leng on Terra don't. You only really get it when there's enough of the unknown. The stuff that's not been explained yet. The bits that don't fit. Which like you say makes the Halo Stars a far better candidate. Without the stuff people can't begin to explain, let alone fight effectively, what you have is just horrific window-dressing. So what counts as cosmic horror in the Majorkillverse? The real explanation of what happened to Timmy.

For some reason my mind always circles back to that annoying prick Lushes the Eternal. I find it funny how he died to something as crappy as a land mine and was yeeted halfway across the galaxy to a factory. But imagine just being a factory menial and the greatest champion of Slanesh is just, suddenly, here, right in front of you. You have no idea what chaos is, you've only herd legends of space marines, and now this defiantly not space marine is suddenly here and wants to violate you. Oh, you're talking about real horror ... both the necrons and tyranids are perfect vehicles of cosmic horror.

I’m pretty sure I heard that the reason people keep seeking out the halo devices is because there’s like a 30% chance it won’t turn you into a flesh eating monster and gives you the good affects anyways. This could mean that you point about humans Mabye not being so compatible with them could be right as only some devices work with humans

One thing that really stuck with me was the Sons of Malice. They would capture humans and xenos to use for cannibalistic rituals. Now killing enemies and eating them after is one thing but just the idea of being kept in a cell for months, dragged out to a room full of these lunatics seeing thousands of people being eaten alive, because you know they would be alive, and having some giant mutant start by biting your fingers off just horrified me.

I recommend "The Watcher in the Rain" from the Black Library for good horror. I enjoy the idea that there are Xeno Warp entities and other influences that if they gather enough followers could rival the Chaos Gods.

Endor's story sounds like it was definitely written by a horror writer. A psychological deep dive on a single character's phsyche amps up the grim dark tenfold

Non chaos aligned warp entities and magic would be a cool video.

So if I get a plushy... I can get ringtones of you screaming at Timmy?

In my mind, There's nothing more horrifying in the 40k universe then that souls DO exist, but upon death, it's ripped apart violently or at best evaporates to be food for demons. Like dying sucks. But dying a second time, eternally, is a step darker
