The 5 Saddest Moments In Warhammer 40k Lore

Warhammer 40k can be sad, but not as sad as people who haven't gotten 70% off their first package of Geologie : thld.co/geologie_majorkill70_0323 Patreon : www.patreon.com/majorkill

Thanks Major for always filming with your camera upside down so the rest of the world can watch your videos correctly

The Guardsman story was the most heartwrenching. He lost so much, fought so much, yet... he lost the one thing that mattered to him. Truly heartbreaking.

"This death is ours. We choose it. We deny you your victory." The last words of the dreadnaught Huron-Fal before he overloaded his reactor.

Uzas had the best line in the Nightlords trilogy: "Where the hell am I supposed to find red paint?!?"

Honestly, the moment that got me was in the book Titanicus. A woman is conscripted into the PDF but her husband is a dock worker and doesn't get conscripted. At the start of the book they say goodbye to each other and the woman goes on this huge misadventure and ends up being instrumental in the loyalist victory. But, back home, her husband gets in a bar fight because some guy dissed the PDF and, by proxy, his wife. He kills the guy, and effectively gets away with it. But he's so paranoid that when an arbetes officer makes casual conversation with him, he runs away and is shot in the street. The woman comes home to an empty residence and a notice of execution for her husband.

Bit of a minor sad moment, but this one scene in A Thousand Sons always gets me. Phosis T’kar is fighting his way through space wolves and sisters of silence until he finally comes face to face with Constantine Valdor. Valdor calls him a monster, and at first T’kar is insulted and wants to tell Valdor that he is the monster for destroying Prospero. But then he sees his reflection in Valdors armor to see he has mutated because of the Thousands Sons gene flaw which they tried to keep a secret for so long. T’kar doesn’t event bother blocking Valdor’s attack as he respond “I know.”

Trazyn saying goodbye to his human assistant on Serenade was heartbreaking

The saddest moment for me honestly was the death of Argel Tal. Kharn not only lost his best friend and brother, he lost his anchor in the world, the one thing keeping his rage in check. Without his best friend he just descended into unbridled rage. Again somehow GW made a story about a 7ft tall inhuman berserker and his 7ft tall demon possessed best friend into a heart wrenching bromance.

The death of Barabas Dantioch, his final words to Polux, and how the Polux would not leave his friend's body for days, was by far the saddest moment, for me at least.

I feel like another sad moment was in The Infinite and the Divine. When Trazyn had to euthanized a librarian that he hired to aid in figuring out the Millennia long puzzle. Because he (the librarian) was in pain and wanted to die but not before thanking Trazyn in helping him and his family.

The Dropsite Massacre is such a tragedy, definitely a gut punch and tear jerker.

Andre was a really good character. He knew his place and he knew people he fought with. There was that one scene a marine got down and melee the orks. All other guards cheered but Andre knew to keep firing. I think the book said "He knew the marine is dying for them" as orks just aren't easy thing to melee with. To see such a great man be so devastated is so grim datk

My saddest moment in Warhammer was when the Demon that possest Fulgrim, let Fulgrim see what he did on Istvan. The devestation and sadness of Fulgrim as he saw what he did to Ferrus and what became of his sons was heartbreaking.

As a Death Guard fanboy,the death of Temeter and the Dreadnaught genuienly made me cry a little bit but it did make me smile how they found solace in each other during their final moments

A personal sad moment favorite of mine was the Khan asking Magnus how he could fix him.

Parents abandoning their children lead them to the darkest places, Majorkills YT Channel.

The moment that always gets me is the whole sequence at the end of a thousand sons, ahriman asking magnus "what did you do" and magnus saying "and now my sons my last gift to you" before teleporting them all to the planet of the sorcerers and in the end the rubric being mentioned always gave me chills and misty eyes

One of the biggest emotional gutpunches I've ever had while reading was Guilliman's reaction to the current Imperium. I felt really bad for him as everything The Imperium was supposed to be has been forgotten or perverted and slowly decayed into a shadow of it's former self....

I know they are primarchs so they already get a lot of attention but I really think fulgrim killing ferris deserves to be on this list, especially with how well written that scene is
