The Grey Knights are a secret and mysterious Chapter of Space Marines specifically tasked with combating the dangerous daemonic entities of the Warp and all those who wield the corrupt power of the Chaos Gods. They were created by the Emperor with the aid of Malcador the Sigillite at the time of the Horus Heresy to serve as Humanity's greatest weapon against the threat posed by the existence of Chaos.

The existence of the Chapter is virtually unknown outside of the Inquisition and the highest echelons of the Imperial adepta, and is a well-guarded secret enforced by mind-wipes and even assassination of Imperial citizens if necessary.

    You know that feeling when someone calls you by the real name and you suddenly realize how screwed you are? That's how demons experience when MC hammer appears out of nowhere.
  • @Scowleasy
    Malcador has done so much heinous shit the guy he confesses to kills himself, but Malc clones him because there’s still more to confess. This has repeated multiple times.
  • @zigmus00A
    Since the episode with Drago is next week this is the perfect opportunity for Bricky to hit DK with one of Drago's unhinged quotes and confuse the fuck out of him. "Have you ever tried a TANGERINE?"
  • @ThatRatBastard
    One of my favorite Space Marine stories and Grey Knight stories specifically is that one time that a bunch of Grey Knights actually saved a bunch of Eldar soulstones and when they handed them back to the Eldar they were so respectful and polite it caught the Eldar off guard and they were actually nice to someone that wasn't an Eldar for once
  • @ayyitsrith
    Surprised Bricky didn't mention Fel Zharost as one of the founding members, who was the former Chief Librarian of the Night Lords.
  • @brocklewis7624
    Petition for Adeptus Historicus, in which Bricky and DK learn about history through Shy’s immaculate use of memes.
  • @Mr.Crow1984
    We slowly getting closer to talking about the legend, master hams, the king of beards and craziest madman in the entirety of 40k. KALDOR DRAIGO!!
  • @steelgreyed
    40:30 Here's the good news. Those given the Emperor's Mercy "by" a Grey Knight are the souls most likely to gain the attention of Big E "in" the warp. On a painfully related side note, I remain convinced this is how the Legion of the Damned do their recruiting.
  • @znalniaskas
    Draigo being so op makes more sense when you have the headcanon that the noble shard of Magnus that got put into the first supreme grand master gets tranferred into every new one, maybe via the titansword.
  • @vvvv-hs7dc
    You forgot about Janus(The first Supreme Grandmaster) who was given the loyal shard of Magnus when he was created.

    To quote 1d4chan - When the Grey Knights arrive on the scene, it is already too late for everybody else: the great enemy already has all the cards, the dark gods have now found purchase into the material realm, the battle is effectively lost, and no number of battle tanks or titan god-machines will reverse the inevitable... and that is where the Grey Knights are forced to begin their fight. So, regardless of what anybody else says, be proud of your silver dudes. For while they may be sometimes deployed as a preemptive force, Grey Knights are more often typically wrestling victory from the jaws of not only certain-defeat but a point where defeat has already happened. To win even when everything is already lost. They're the last prayer, they're final hail mary, the last roll of the dice. Don't be surprised if they lose, because everything is so stacked up against them. But when they actually win, that's something.

    Tonite on AdRic: DK summons a higher daemon of Slaanesh, Shy whips out a warp infused bong and Brick- THEY KNOW TOO MUCH. THEY SAW TOO MUCH. TERMINATE AND EXPUNGE.
  • @thewerdna
    If I had a nickle for every time someone fought Mortarion during the Siege of Terra and let themselves get impailed to hit Mortarion in the throat, I'd have two nickles. Which isn't a lot, but its wierd it happened twice (Literally a few days later Khan does the exact thing Garro did, only he succeeded in killing/banishing Mortarion)
  • @hamishwalker9637
    Isn't there story where a "silver knight" that's theorised to be a grey knight fights all the way through all of slaaneshs' layers of excess, all the way up to the doors of the prince of pleasures' castle or whatever only to experience a shred of hesitation on seeing slaanesh themselves face, and immediately falling from that?
  • @Jormyyy
    The past like 3 episodes have all had Macho Man cream of the crop references and I'm absolutely living for it :_adridKhan::_adridKhan::_adridKhan:
  • @inductivegrunt94
    Grey Knights will always be an interesting bunch for me. First grandmaster being a loyalist thousand son powered up by the last loyal shard of Magnus, all psykers, Kaldor Draigo of Ordo Draigo being a meme, and them knowing the names of countless daemons to pull a "parents calling you by your full name" thing. They're just really cool once you learn a lot about them.
  • @sardaukar6635
    In the game chaos gate deamonhunter on steam You're a Grey knight commander fighting a nurgle infection, an inquisitor of the ordo maleus comes to demand your assistance. But when you ask her how she knew you existed, she's says she didn't that the inquisition gave her coordinates. So, the fact that only a few inquisitors actually know of their existence is really cool I find.
  • @alexvaraderey
    It wasn't a couple of decades warp-time, DK. Big E had had a fully outfitted fortress built on Titan, complete with a vault of his own gene-seed. The eight space marines were left there with thousands of serfs & new recruits. Malcador moved Titan in to the warp, where it was protected by macro-gellar fields & special incantations and wards of Malcador's own devising. It re-appeared in real space a decade later, but for the chapter it had been centuries, during which they had been training.
  • @ocoilau8621
    As to how the Grey Knights had become a Chapter in the decades spent in the warp on Titan after the Hersey, it is stated that the base of Titan had been prepared with scores of equipment, servitors, other important necessities, and most importantly, numerous prospective recruits brought by the Sisters of Silence to the planet for trials to become an Astartes
