Welcome everyone to another episode of the Adeptus Ridiculous podcast. My name's D.K. Diamantis. My host is Bricky. He's going to be telling us all about the most ridiculous, hence the name, stuff in Warhammer 40K. But before he does, if you enjoy today's podcast, head over to patreon.com slash adeptus ridiculous and consider supporting us. If you do, you get access to our Discord, a bunch of really fly emotes that you can use on Discord or on YouTube, or actually, I guess the YouTube thing is separate, whatever.

This is going off the rails. doesn't matter. There's also HD posters and a lot of cool stuff. All right. Patreon.com slash Adeptus Ridiculous and Bricky, I think you've got some new shit today besides book club and merch, right?

I can't believe, D.K., that you got flustered at yourself for saying your own intro. I can't believe fuck you, man. I can believe fuck me, man. Fair enough. On this podcast, I can. Yes, so Book Club, of course, we're doing Twice Dead King Rain. I'm already two hours.

You get 50% off the whole order until the end of January. So there's not much left. But I'm skipping past that quickly because we have our first ever fun little collaboration

here. So we have had a fan since the early days of the podcast known as Electric Squid Entertainment. and they have had their own, like, local game store. It is simply called Collectible Squids. Collectible Squids.com. It is in the description. And we're working with them for, like, for this first big official kind of partnership

where they will offer Warhammer stuff at a lower price than normal with a flat $10 shipping to the U.S. They ship outside the U.S. as well, but it isn't flat dollar or pretend you have to pay for that one, of course. And they're just a small, little, you know, self-made business down in Florida. And, well, basically, if you use code Adric, A-D-R-I-C, all caps, just in case,

you get yourself an extra discount, and you get some, you give some money to your boys over here. Boys and girl, or boys and VAT-grown baby. She's a two-foot-tall Gremlin VAT baby, yeah. Gremlin Vap baby. I identify as a Gremlin VAP baby. So once again, collectible squids.com, cheaper Warhammer prices for your stuff, flat $10 shipping to the U.S., and with code ad-Rick, you get an extra discount and support us. So it's basically you just want some Warhammer stuff.

Go ahead and check it out. Link is in the description. All should be good and fun. And besides that, I got one last announcement.

Ooh, yeah? What else? Yes. It's the art contest. Oh, sick! Let's go! Tell them about it, Bricky. Tell him about it. So, well, you remember what the topic is today, don't you, D.K.? Uh, of course I do. You actually not? I... Shit.

Anyway, to our wonderful viewers, we had a fun idea. So a long time ago We talked about Imperial Knights And I have my fun little idea about Night Couple type thing And then like immediately after that I got hit with a shitload of fan art Of said couple

And you guys really seemed like you liked it And it was kind of dope and very heartwarming So we thought Why not hold a contest For creating your own Free Blade Knight? So it's an art contest So it's simply put

You create your own piece of artwork Some kind of digital artwork Just art, it's art, whatever you know Of your own free blade night Of the night and the person Piloting the night It's a free blade So it could be whatever the fuck you want

Imperial chaos, anything Doesn't matter whatever type of night Who cares You're creating your own free blade Knight And what we're going to do Is compile all the submissions You may send them

to our email in the description, or go ahead and shoot it to us at Twitter, especially if you have an art account, because then we can go ahead and, if you are one of the winners, we can go ahead and retweet you and get some extra people coming over, and make sure to sign them,

give them a good watermark or something. Oh, good call. Yeah. And... You're already stealing it. Exactly. And it's entirely just for enjoyment. We're not using it for anything. We're not putting it in a video game.

We're not those fucking people. It is entirely just for fun. And the top 10 people will get $50 USD with third place getting 100, second place getting $250, and first place getting $500. Y'all, big money, big bucks. Let's go. Let's get those submissions in. Can I enter?

Yeah, sure, dude. Good luck. Let's go. Money, money, money. I'm American, man. I need those dollary days. That's why, that's why, yeah, we did the divin' kill lava because of the dollery dues. Yeah, we sure did.

So anyway, like I said, email in description or send it to us on Twitter. Make sure you sign a water market. Freeblade night art of both the knight and the pilot. I mean, there's no bonus points if you build the model itself, but let's say if you did, it's the tiebreaker, whatever, but it's mainly about the arts. You can do a Freeblade couple, too, if you want, like Bricky's idea, if you want to do a couple or like a family, that's okay too. You can do a group, I don't give a shit.

Yeah, you can do whatever. As long as they're FreeBlades. As long as their Free Blade nights, go to town. It doesn't have to be just one. Customize your Knights. And we will, the contest will end at the end of February. So you got a bit over a month. And then we will make a video with all the submissions in March.

And yeah, so, you know, good luck. Best to luck. G-L-H-F. G-G-G-E-Z. KYS, etc. Not that last one. That's what the guys in StarCraft would always tell me. Yeah, oh no, that means create yourself.

The K is with a, it's a create with a K because we're avant-garde here. If anything the knights are, it's on avant-garde. So, D-K-Yen-Yself, that's what it is. Knight, because you get the queen to Knight-Yen-Night yourself. Knight-yourself. Let's go. Let's go. Now.

Now. You should knight yourself. Now. So, D.K., do you know what the fucking topic is now? I would assume nights. Yeah, you dingus? Wait, but didn't we have an episode on nights already? That's why I...

We'll do another one. Oh, sweet. Didn't we have an episode on Necrons already, D.K.? Didn't we already have five episodes on Necrons, Bricky? Do we have five? I don't know. I don't know. I just remember someone making a sarcastic comment about us.

Another Necron. run episode. Haven't they already done? Five? Well, that's all right. Have we? But yeah, I probably like Eldar. I knew the art contest was going to be on nights. I just didn't realize that like we were going to do another night episode.

But I guess it makes sense. So cool. Let's learn about nights. Yeah, well, I feel like if you're going to be the person to draw nights, you'll be clicking on the night episodes. So. That's fair. That's a good call.

It is about nights, but it's more so about night households this time. Specific night households. So kind of like how when we talked about orcs, we talked with the various or, you know, faction or clan. Clans, that's what it is. Orc clans. And so today we're doing things about different kinds of nighthouses. Now, there are a couple we already talked about in the original episode. The Quester Mechanicus ones like House Tyrannis, House Crass, House Raven, House Cadmus, Griffith, Hawkshra, etc.

But there's a shitload of Imperial houses. A shitload. A shit. And so I have a giant list of them right here. And I thought, why not together? We just like pick one. Oh, okay. And just see what it is.

Okay. So, D.K., give me a letter. Just throw me a letter. I don't care what letter it is. J. J. All right. In terms of J, we, do we have no J?

Uh-oh. Oh, no. Did I hit the jackpot right off the bat? There's like literally almost every letter here. except for Jay. Wow. I am amazing. I'm so proud.

Let's go. Hit me with a Z. A Z. There is one Z. Yes. There is one Z. Oh, my God. Imagine this entire list and you choose the one letter.

It's like fucking Wheel of Fortune. I'll take an L, Pat. Ooh, no L's. Sorry, spin again. No, no, don't worry. You're getting L's. Oof. Oof.

This is House Zavora. House Savora comes from Mars, and their colors are red and white. This is their night crest. Pretty dope looking, actually. Like a squid-looking thing with a skull. It says, this house has its origins among Sions stranded on Mars during the Age of Strife. Now, however, they did not originally intend to stand guard over Mars, but the warp storms and all that stuff happened,

the ages stripes and things. Due to its history, they have a strong ties with the cult mechanicus. In fact, it is said that the members are said to exchange a single organ for an augmented counterpart come their ascension to the throne mechanicum when they are to do the thing with their brain, you know? Oh, that's dope.

And then further augmentation will be born by more seasoned warriors with the greatest sign of devotion being permanent entombment in their night armor. Oh boy That's that's kind of grim dark Being forever entombed in the armor That's a little

Cool We picked a cool one to start off with Also their logo I know what it reminds me It reminds me of like a Marvel And Hydra You know the Haydra It doesn't like Hydra

It's Hydra It is a little bit like It's a mechanic as Hydra Yeah Yeah It's totally Hydra Yeah So apparently because of their

Extreme Mechanicus Religious practices in defiance of the Imperial Truth the Great Crusade they used to be only stationed in Mechanicom fleets because everyone fucking hated them. Ah. So by the Horace heresy

they had about like a little under 400 knights with over a hundred in sealed vaults waiting for pilots and over half of them were on Mars during the Horace heresy with none surviving the Civil War there with actually reports of quite a few of them

Siding with the traitors in a trader house of Kelbor Hall. Yikes. So they all went traitor? None of them actually. They either all died or all of them went traitor? Sorry, not a traitor house. Kelbor Hall was the Fabricator General, the Mechanicum during the heresy. And he joined the sides of Horace.

He was the Dark Mechanicum Fabricator General. Oh, okay. That makes a lot more sense. So they joined him Or during the Mars thing So they're ones on Mars So about half went to chaos basically And the other half didn't

Oof, that's a big loss Losing half of your knights to chaos That feels like the Dark Angels level Where it's like hey you guys You guys are a little suss Because you're obviously You got traitors in your ranks So

Sussie Baca as it were Don't do that. As for known knights, there's two of them at the moment. One of them is the veiled hunter, which is a knight-errant. And if you forget what a knight-errant is, the knight-errant is the knight that has the the melta, I believe, and then the chainsaw. Oh, okay. And then that one is piloted by a pilot known as Vincent Naya-Dias, seen as one of the

house's permanent beast slates. during the Great Crusade due to his performance against a bio-colossi Oh His records saw him appointed as a seneschal of war For those not located on Mars from the Horace heresy Over the war he scored three Titan kills And wrote several tactical manifests

That were disseminated to loyalist households Damn, what's a bio-colossi? I'm assuming it's an enormous, like, beast of some kind Oh, okay. I wasn't sure if it was like a tyrannid, because like biomass, bio-colossus, or if it was just a random ass, uh, um, Zeno, scum thing. I mean, it could be against, it could be a tyrannid, uh, oh, here it is. It was from something called the Grand Sathian Dominium, which was a Zenos empire. Oh. Uh, though after, it was fought during the Great Crusade, though after a seven-year war, they were finally, like, exterminated. so they were like really really big organic fuckers that just a separate race.

Disgusting. Yeah. And the other one was someone known as the Omnisiah's Will, which was Knight Porthorian. Parthorian, which is a class of imperial knight as well. And this was piloted by guy named Gaffrail Bex, who was permanently sealed inside his suit. Oh, man. That must suck to be permanently sealed inside. I mean, I guess if you're Admec, you probably wouldn't mind because that's like a dream come true.

No flesh. I'm entombed in steel. But man, can you imagine? Like, how do I go to the bathroom in this thing? He's got a big Titan night that's just popping a squat in the field. Like, oh, damn it, I don't need to worry about this anymore. They're Admec. That's true.

They love it. Like, how do that, admec don't use the bathroom in general? Having any biological shit is like, ew. That's true. It's not. For an admec, yeah. But the guys in the Titans aren't, well, I guess they're admec too, aren't they? The ones in the Titans on Mars, the Zavora or whatever.

I guess they're ad-mack. Oh, yeah, well, there's normally like a, well, they're not necessarily ad-mec. The knights aren't ad-mec, so speak, but they work heavily with, like, with admecs. They kind of take a little bit of their culture and do that kind of stuff. That makes sense. Okay. So, I think it'd be funny for, like, someone in two. in a Titan to just lose it for a second

and be like, oh, hold on guys, and he just, there's a Titan popping a squad on the field and the fucking like some ammunition dumps out. So, another knight, for example, a household, for example, one, a very, very light one that we can discuss is, like, House Terran. I mentioned the before, House Terran

is the tranquil worlds of Voltaurus, which these guys, Terran are like the hoity-toity of the hoity-toity. Yeah. These are the guys If I'm not If I am if I remember they're the ones who have to stand And like listen to the the

Deeds being told for like three four hour long Like just the thousand canticles of war long awaited And they have to constantly listen to their shit Yep That does not sound like a fun A fun thing to do No it does not We're gonna sit here all day and all night and just

listen to how great we are and it's like, oh, I know I was there. You were around, you got it. I get it. Give me a letter. D. D.

All right. We've got a lot of D. All right. Yes, we do. A, all right. He's in between one and eight. One and nine, actually. Four. One, two, three, four. House Donar.

All right. House Donar, also known as the Perseptor House, was a nighthouse of the Imperium. Their night world is called M-O-L-E-C-H, and their colors are green and gold. Oh. They got pretty interesting looking, whatever it's called, their sigil. They are assigned to the Imperial Garrison on Mulek, only a few short light years from Terra itself, very similar to Terra in size and orbit. It has a moon, though it also has home to thick jungles,

fit with savage beasts that the nighthouses keep at bay or hunt for sports. You got a little bit of like a little bit of like a Katachan thing there. Okay. The assigned to the Imperial Garrison Mullock, Donor Knights have no names or titles. Their identity determined instead by their strength and reputation. They were assigned to oversee the Western marches and perceptory line and battle the deadly beasts of the jungles.

It is said that the first donor knights were descended from the guardian Perseptor, blade master to the first high knight. When the High King, the First High King, when the High King passed, the Perseptor walked into the east, the face-mullochs beasts and vowed to defend mankind from their threat. Over the years, they became known as the permanent hunting house, often competing for glory during hunting expeditions with House Divine, but like D-E-V-I-N-E.

During the traitor invasion of Malik House Donar held the perceptory line against a deathguard assault As the death guard drove the world's Mighty Jungle Beasts in front of them To absorb loyalist fire The knights of House Donar were quickly Quickly overrun and annihilated

Oh no so there's no more House Donar They've been completely annihilated by the death guard Yep later during Horace's defeat the planet of Mollock Oh wait now the planet of Mollock was liberated Um Planet uh the planet was conquered by traitor forces

After the After the rival house divine turned traitor Oh no You filthy backstabbers And then with only a hundred survivors From the planet escaping Oh boy That's that's unfortunate

I was gonna say there their logo looks like shit, but I kind of like the idea of like they don't have any names or ranks. It's all just dependent on your accomplishments and your deeds. That's actually a pretty cool concept for like a knight house.

Or just like if you did that with medieval knights in general, that'd be kind of dope. Like you only get accolades and a name and a title when you've done something to like earn it. I kind of like that. Watch has like, the only reason they did that is because they killed all the fucking people.

Like notable figures Balmorn Donar Ruling Lord killed in the battle of Mollick Robar Dornar Balmores heir killed in the battle of Mollack Luthius Pilate killed in the battle of Mollick Urbano pilot killed in the battle of Mollack Tyray Pilot killed in the battle of

Mollick Yeah alright rest in peace house Donar You did your best Yeah, Edley hey you had fun hunting for a little while And then you done got hunted You done got stunk upon because the fucking... Yeah.

The death guard... The death guard stunted on you. Give me a letter, D-K. We just had D, so we got to go with K. Nice. I know. Wow, there's a lot. One, two, three, four, five, six,

seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve. Between one and thirteen. You know, let's just go 13. All right. House Creston. K-R-E-S-T-E-E-N. Oh The crass was right before that

Which we just talked about House Crestim The gallant imperial knights of House Creston Were among the first into battle against Gruck Gruck Is that an orc? That sounds like an or an orc

It sounds like it'll be an or G-U Orr-U-K-K-K That's got to be an or It has to be an ork Uh-Gruck Face Ripper Yup It's an or

I think it's an or War boss Gruck Face Ripper Also known as Gruck the This is now an orc episode Also known as Gruck the Unstoppable Gruck Face Eda and Gruck the Zoggin Maniac It's an infamous orc war boss

A Goff War boss who led the Red Waugh And he is a 10 foot tall Brute of Muscle and Rage Makes an physical presence Makes him intimidating sight When he dons his monstrous power claw He is practically unstoppable well-known fact that Grok will fly into a berserk fury whenever his temper reaches his limit doesn't take much to set him off he wants trashed an entire settlement purely because a grot attendant spill engine oil on his breakfast oh boy yeah he sounds like a mother like holy shit like he's 10 foot tall

wait i think he has a does he have a mini like how how tall is a knight's like leg like how far oh my god he has a mini Gruct does? The Zoggin Maniac? Yeah. Oh, let's see this thing. He's got a squig. Hey, he's got a big squig. That is a large squig. I don't know why. I was expecting more from his model with how dominant they made him sound. I was expecting maybe a little bit more. He just, he looks like an orc, all right.

That's definitely an orc. But it's just, I don't know, I was expecting something special and unique. There he is. It's an ork. Yep, he's an ork. He's an ork, but he's got a rule called Too Tough for Deaf. The model is a five of Involsa, oh, he has five of Involta, oh, he has five of Involta, Finlphein. That's so funny. That's so funny.

He's got... Oh, that's true. He can't be bigger than Gaz or he's gonna get his ass whoop. That's true. That's true. You can't be bigger than him. Anyway, not an or an or episode. Yeah.

The Gallant Imperial Knights of House Creston were among the first in battle against Grux's newly arrived hordes and they wasted no time charging the green skins. If these brave warriors had hoped to scatter the well-led and battle-hardened orcs in the same way the mighty peasants of the Alaric Prime, they were very mistaken. Only the steel hosts of the 1652 Cadians ended the wholesale slaughter. So I do believe the house Creston did not do a good job and the orcs beat the shit out of them. Oh boy. Well, to be fair, I was like, oh man, the knights couldn't stop some, some orcs. And I was I was like, well, we did read brutal Cunning. And boy, they, yeah, knights are not a guaranteed win against the, the orc horde.

So, yeah, I guess, I guess they could absolutely get dominated by the orc, sure. Man, if you were a fan of fucking knights, you just, and you've read brutal cunning, you just, oh my God. You'd be furious. Not even halfway through the book, and like these fucking knights and titans are just getting fucking dominated by the orgs. What's that? you're fighting a you're fighting a space marines

an ultramarine oh god oh you're fighting an ultramarine primaris captain oh god he has a name oh god he has a name oh no we're doomed all right

give me another letter uh Pirates favorite letter is the sea oh that's oh all right not bad um all right there are one two three

four, five, six, seven, eight C's. I gotta go lucky number seven. All right. House Conneo. Coniel? C-O-N-E-A-L-E. Conil, I guess? Sure.

Yeah, we'll go with that. Why not that's not that that. Oh, this is a short one. Oh, fuck. Oh, God. Oh, fuck, oh, God. Coniel is a nighthouse of the Imperium. It nearly came to blows with House Nannus.

Nance. Oh, no. Oh, House Nando's. No, no, it's worse, D.K. Oh, no, why is it worse? It's House Nans Suss! It's Stass! They're so Suss! Did they go Trader? Please tell me they went Trader.

Oh, shit. Due to their conflicting honor oaths, but luckily, the tech priest negotiated peace before them. Oh, that's it. Damn. They didn't go Trader. That's it. Let's talk about House Nansus. Yeah, let's go for the Sussie Baccas. It is an adeptist mechanis-Cus-aligned House of the Imperium that serves Forge World Hefeisto.

Hafeisto? Hey, Hafeisto was in the... It's brutal Cunning! It's brutal Cunning! It nearly came to blows with House Conil due to their conflicting honor as well, luckily, the tech priest, the tech priest Ron Rul Ulitar negotiated peace between them.

Hey! House Nansous would later defend their forge world when it was invaded by the orcs of the TechWa and the free boot of Bad Rock M-42. Due to their brave resistance, the orcs destroyed what forces is, oh shit! House Nansus was the one that got fucked up by fucking Bad Rock and the crew.

Oh, no. We got the brutal Kahnonites. Oh, no. Ah, who cares? They were whatever. Man, what a fucking callback. What a callback. House Nansus got fucking bopped on by the orcs.

They got space. They got airlocked. Man, what a... This is an orc episode again. This is devolving into an orc episode And Shai's loving every second of it Oh my god, OofTac fucking rolled up and bonged on them And it's like, you do that boss?

Yep Yep Yes me Of course I did Desmate, yep Boss What's uh, give me another letter Uh, let's try an A Something I never got in high school

A Sunday Italians get plenty A You got 11 What you got? Let's do three House Alaric A L-A-R-I-C Oh

Okay, Al-R-R-I-C Oh Okay, pick a different A This literally just has House Alaric is a nighthouse The Imperium that battle against the red wall And got fucking body Wait, the red wall was the one where gut ripa guy was it...

Oh, yeah. God damn. This is just a fucking orc episode. How many knights are getting wrecked by orcs? Pick a different day, damn it. One. All right, house Acosta. All right, Acosta.

There we go, it's a little bit longer. Nighthouse, the Imperium. It resides in Nethreus, located in the Gilead system, but the isolational house normally does not concern itself with off-world affairs. Um, let's see here. It's currently ruled by High King Vilmar. Uh, and Naltheris is a volcanic death world filled with giant creatures that constantly attack the void shielded cities.

Where the world's population resides, each city known as the Dominion, is protected by Acosta's knights and are ruled by one of the house barons, who in turn show fealty to the Acosta's high king. Currently, Vilmar the 14th rules the house. each bearer commits its powerful position and the throne of ivory knives the high king sits upon yo that's that's that's that's that's dope that's pretty jove throne of ivory knives let's go now all i can imagine is like that game of thrones throne with all the swords but it's all ivory that sounds super dope oh hell yeah in the wake of the great riffs creation that's when kadia fell

Gilead had become isolated from the Imperium as now protected by the forces of a road trader who is absolutely terrible, mind you. Jackal Veronius. I only make that as a kai of his cane joke. However, in order to procure Acosta's aid in defending the system, Chichael, the traitor, has begun providing the house with off-world flora and the aid of the adeptus Mechanicus. Bilmar has since become willing to help Jackal in a limited fashion and has sent a few of his knights to aid the road trader. This has drawn resentment from some of Acosta's barons, though, and some of them began secretly meeting with off-world envoys from other groups.

Yo, this rogue traitor guy is fucking dope-looking. What the hell? Who, who, who, who? Jackal Voronius. Look at this dude. Let's see. Oh, damn, he does look sick. No, he's got, he's got candles on his shoulder pulmonary.

Those are. Those are lit candles. Wow. That's, that's Imperium. That's top tier Imperium aesthetic. It's having like lit candles on your body or on your armor or whatever. Damn. Oh, should I want to know if you were going to look at Trader Houses or if we should expect that in a different episode. Ah, fuck it. Give me a, give me a letter for Trader Houses. How about B? B. There is, all right, there's House B. Biofane, house blisterborn, and house black.

Blisterborn. Blisterborn. It has to be Nergo. That better be Nergo. It has to be. House Blisterborn is a traitorous nighthouse. Oh, you can't tell me that's it. Is that all the, that's it?

That's all. I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna Google it and see. Yeah, Google that. There's got to be more. That house blisterborn, there's no lore about how, like, they fell to Nergel and how the Knights armor is like all twisted and diseased and has, blisters that pop and spew acidic bile all over people

it has to be it's a nurgle house you are right on that one but no there is nothing I can find no that's bullshit listen anybody that is listening and is going to take part in the night art contest someone makes some dope ass blisterborns that are just all these like disease giant mech knights that have like their armor peeling off and it's just all like tentacles spewing out of their

eyes or something. We need justice for blisterborns. Justice for blisterborn? Yes. It is an injustice that there's not more on them. Yeah, there's not a ton. Also, there are free blades are known as dreadblades, I believe.

So they got some cool quotes. Quote, open your heart to hatred. Open your mind to fury. Open your soul to the dark ones. Let not your forbearers stand between you and the power that is offered. The sun has set on the age of chivalry, and the knight that is to come belongs to those with the strength to assert their rule.

The canticle of the warped becoming. Damn, if it didn't mean selling my soul the chaos for eternal damnation, that kind of quote would very easily get me to go treat her. It's like, oh, you're going to be called the Dreadblade, and here's this really dope quote. Like, oh. Have you seen what some of these knights look like? though, man? I literally have not. This is what a chaos night looks like.

Oh boy. Oh boy, that's dope. It is really cool looking. Holy shit, I love the faceplate. Oh, like the screaming faceplate. Oh, yeah, that's great. What's in that other arm? Is that like a night sniper rifle or something?

No, I'm assuming that that's their version of the Paragon Gauntlet and the chainsword, but it's like their chaosy version of the sword. chaosy version of the sword. Oh. Do you see there's a little bit of blood on the white part? I think that's like the zh, kind of part of it. That's how I describe it. Shut up.

That's the zhs part of it. That's where the claw goes into your, gotcha. Yo, you can't, no, you can't just run up at me and stab me. Ha, ha, night goes, zh. Power clod goes,

Zh. There are a lot of people who do make really gross-ass nights like that there are tons and tons and tons of conversions for for crazy shit like that like for it sucks that there's no like nergel night because i feel like you could really get some gnarly nasty bullshit with like a nergel blisterborn night yes i'm going back to blisterborn because they have been that is how how do you miss out on an opportunity to give lor to something as crazy as you you called it blitz why sorry go ahead i mean they they do people

make their own versions of that quite often. They make super gross ass night-looking knights like that. Yo, that one you just posted with like the maw that's like Yeah.

That's so cool. That's what I wanted when you brought when we brought up Blisterborn. That's what I wanted. Exactly that. So a reminder that the chaos nights basically have almost zero kits of their own. So when you make a chaos night,

you're basically making a normal night and you're just your kit bashing it. Exactly. Oh, okay. Gotcha. So often you get these it's why nights are so cool because you can really like really just give them

so much of this like effort you know and change. Do you think they'll ever make a legit chaos night that's just like all fucked up and you don't have to like kit bash it or green stuff it or whatever and you can just get a chaos night. You think they're going to make that? Actually I think they are. I think they actually teased some night images just recently.

So there might actually be a legitimate night model finally for chaos. Okay. Okay. Let's go. It better be a blisterborn GW. Dude. Stop that. Fine. No more blisterborn. Fine. It's not my fault. You're right. It's not. It's GW's fault. But you know, stop it. Fine. Who are we doing next? Give me a number or a letter. Um, we'll go S for Suss. Oh my God.

Um, all right. In that case, uh, one through eight, or nine. That two. House Sikuris, S-E-K-U-R-I-S. All right. I was very scared of it was going to be house Sikuros. I thought you were going to say it was how Suss Keros. And I was like,

Soskeros. Lull, the betrayer. Oh, my God. Alright, this Has literally no lore on it God damn it Oh, come on! Now, I know there's gonna be chat

That's gonna be like, Why don't I just talk about like house hawkshought And shit in that case? Because they all can Some of these fucking nighthouses That has so much hoity-toity lore They can have their own goddamn episode on them That's true.

If it's a big enough house We'll probably literally do an entire episode on them But you want to get some of these ones That don't exist? Why don't you pick one that sounds cool to you? I'm picking the different episode. I'm picking a house sife. Oh, all right.

Here we go. Here we go. Actually, this is pretty good. House Scythe is a nighthouse of the Imperium that resides on a world known as Death's Welcome. I'm assuming this is a Death's Welcome is a Death World, perhaps. But to find out, like the households of drudge and fervens, Scyth is composed of morbid nihilists who have forebord, foretold, of their household's destruction in battle.

So when the splinter fleet of High Fleet Hydra invaded their world, Syed Knights believed their destruction was at last at hand and gladly joined the houses of drudge and fervents in battling the Tyranids. The Knights of Death's welcome took such a heavy toll on the invading Tyrannids, though, that High Fleet Hydra's bioships were treated

and after the reserves of biomass became dangerously spent, While through their efforts, death's welcomes was saved, the world's nighthouses were devastated and just 18 knights remain alive from a starting force of over 400. Whoa. I mean, in all fairness, though, they made the tyrannid's retreat. Dude, can you imagine you're a surviving member of House Seid and your fucking knight is like draped in the skulls of Tyrannid monsters you killed? Dude, there's, there, there, there cannot be a more badass, uh, night to be. Like, is, is there anything more accomplished and being like, yeah, I made our house, we made the tyrannid run away? These knights are literally, they believe that the emperor is the harbinger of war and ending. So, uh, they go to war in night suits of, they go to war in night suits of, they go to war in night suits of,

sable and bone. Oh, is there a picture of one of these things? Not at the current moment, while singing fervent... What's that like, Dyrges? D-I-R-G-E-S? Yeah, sure, Dersh.

Yeah. Dersh Van Dyer. Dersh Vand-Dyre's. Ders is a mournful song or a lament for the dead. While singing fervent Derses from beneath their chain mail veils. Damn.

Dude. dude, can you imagine your night suit is of sable and bone and the face is covered by a chain mail veil? And your and your knight dude. And your knight dude has like a veil like the fucking mask of the quiet one for destiny or whatever. Yeah. And then and then you're like you're singing like death songs like accepting your own like with this fucking death core level of suicidal fervor. Why is there no? Why is there no imagery of these?

Why is there nothing else on these guys? Like, they sound like the most badass knights that ever existed. House Sithe 40K. Is there anything? Like, I am floored by how dope they sound. Like, they sound way better than, like, those hoity-toity houses. Like, oh, let's spend four hours talking about how great we are. Beep-boop. And it's like, who gives a shit about them?

Let's hear about House Sithe. Damn. Yeah, no, I'm not getting anything. This is ridiculous. How many opportunities are they going to miss out on? Oh my God, I'm so upset. And they're on a planet called Death's Welcome for God's sake. How do you do that?

Oh, my, maybe they have to have a plan to do something with them. Like, at least write a book on them or something. Maybe. There's so much cooler than any night I've ever heard of. Maybe House Drudge or Fervins have more lore, about them and that's because they're like, nope. Ah, these are missed opportunities galore. They're just piling up, GW.

What are you doing? All right, give me another letter. Um, B for Bones. Here we go, House Baragon. When its High King was abducted by a sorceress cult of Zinch, the knights of House Baragon left in search of him, This eventually led a group of knights to track down their high king's location in a tower in the world of Sintelis. However, when they enter to free him, they discovered the structure had the ability to bend reality.

The knights were struck by the power. When the tower was finished, the stricken knights had been transformed into a mobile and lifeless crystalline statues now lined within their walls. Oh. When another of the Barragans' knights later entered the tower, the crystal statue suddenly came to life and began to fire on their fellow knight. Oh, boy. Well, that's unfortunate. All right, that one, no. Oh, boy, that's very sad.

That's, that's depressing. Well, this one here. House Balejurus. The noble bloodletus house was almost befouled in an infiltration of the gene-stealer cult of the withering worm. Only the conditioning of the house's thrones and the mental effort of the belligerous knights

prevented them from falling into the withering worm's brood mind. But when they recovered, they quickly attacked the cells in a single night of violence, house belligerous, tracked down, exterminated, every single cell of the withering worm, and tried to infect them. What was the name of the house before this one, where the knights turned into crystal and then turned on the... House Baragon, I believe. I feel like that would make for some really slick, like... Crystalized knights?

Yes! Like, either for, like, artwork, or if you were going to, like... I don't know how he would paint something like that, honestly, because that sounds like they'd be... tough, but that, a crystalline knight sounds really cool. I think this is good, too, because anyone who might be wanting to be part of the, uh, the, the art contest might be getting ideas. Yes, yes. I'm, I'm all for it.

Let us look here. You know what? Let us pull out some free blades again. Ah, good choice. Especially if anybody needs some more, uh, inspiration. Yeah. Ooh. Madrigal, the Knights Watchman.

A tragic figure, Madrigal's status as a free blade is a result of a great loss. The last line of defense against the massive demonic incursion, Madrigo was unable to halt the murderous predations of the servants of chaos, and so his home world of Stygia fell. As the lone survivor, Magigal's guilt at his failure led inexorably to a self-imposed penance that has no end in sight. Rejecting the heraldry of his house, Magigal relentlessly patrols the benighted remnant.

remains of Stygia, a dark figure outlined against the pale moon striding through blackened forests and the empty shells of dead cities. As a result of demonic invasion, Stygia is a victim of fell sorcery and the dead rest uneasily beneath its surface. Madrigal haunts the dark places of his world to ensure victims of his failure stay in their graves. And he watches warily for fresh warp taint, ever vigilant for signs of the demon. So his... So his planet... That's so fucking edgy.

That's so sick. I love it. I love a good edge lord. It's so edgy. He haunts the city that he couldn't protect. His planet has been blackened by demons. And so he just strides alone in dead cities. So if he sees any demons that could possibly be

his family and planet he makes sure he kills them to keep the dead to rest. Oh my God, that's, that's edgy and it's great and I love it. That's so fucking edgy. What the hell? What was his name again? His name was Madrigal, the

Knights Watchman. Oh, that's so cool. I love him. That's so funny. That's great. That's fucking fantastic. That makes up for some of the other failures. Does it?

Well, maybe a little bit. Not completely, but like, you know, it's fine. Just, just a little bit. A little bit. Like the meters filled up like a quarter of the way. Okay, fair enough. Not fully, but that, that was pretty fucking cool. How about this one? The Crimson Reaper. Ooh, sounds like an Edge Lord. Let's go. First sighted during the Rithgard Crusade,

the Crimson Reaper has come to signify death itself. Reletless and devoid of mercy The grim knight errant bears No other markings but those associated With death Where house livery would be Is wait Livery

House livery Would be is black And his personal heraldry is only the symbol Of the Reaper's scythe The knight is a single-minded destroyer Sending forth volleys of thermal blasts To melt tanks Crushing infantry underfoot

And ripping apart anything within range Of his roaring Reaper chain-sore In the early stages of campaign, Imperial Forces cheer to see this deathly marked avenging night laying waste to their foe. It is never long, however, before the Crimson Reaper's obvious disregard for those who fight beside him stifles this enthusiasm. His allies are forced to look away from his callous deeds as their own soldiers are trampled underfoot or caught too close to the thermal cannons blasts. Oh no. Uh-oh. Oh, no.

he kills his own people because he's too bloodlusty uh oh spaghettios oops accidentally stepped on my own troopers oops I didn't check to see if any of my allies were in the blast radius oops they're melted now oh boy um well let's see

at least he's good at what he does I want to do one of the the ladies oh yeah yeah do do you do know any of the specific lady free blades no I don't know I don't know I don't know any women. Oh, yeah. Well, duh. I mean, we're gamers, dude. Hell, yeah, man, let's go. Yeah. Please, woo, woo, woo, woo, who. Please love us, ladies. Please, please. I have nothing in my life. Please, I'm so lonely.

Lady Colena, I think we talked about this one last time, but I'll remember, re-mentioned it. Lady Kalena Maxis, the Storm Walker. When the Great Rift tore its way across the galaxy, the night world of Camador lay directly at its path. Engrieved by the billowing mass in the maelstrom, the planet was beset by tides of mutants, heretic stories, and demonic abominations, led by the garrishly

grotesque warriors of the emperor's children. Though the knights of Camador fought furiously to defend their world, in the end they could not prevail, and a single noble escape the devastation. Lady Kalena Maxis, the storm walker.

Klanna did not willingly flee the death of Camador. Rather, she was commanded, by High King Arturo to spread the word of her world's fall and to exact revenge, unending upon the forces of chaos and their murderous deeds. This Lady Maxis has done with a burdened heart ever since. Piloting her mighty Knight Castellum, Lady Maxis haunts the fringes of the great rift, rallying imperial forces wherever she finds them, and leading them to fight back against the heretical foe.

The arrival of the Stormwalker has turned at night of many battles. Lady Maxis dedicating each hard-won victory to the member. of her slain kinsman. Damn. So she's a badass. So she's the only one that survived from that planet? Apparently. Damn. Damn.

What a badass. All right. I'm going to do one chaos free blade before we end the episode because I like these free blades. Let's go. Chaos free blades. How does that work exactly? Chaos free blades.

It's not part of the house anymore. They still serve chaos. Oh, okay. The hand of mourning. As in mourning as in like morning for the dead. Like morning the dead, yeah. Oh, really? I thought it was the hand that was pointing towards the morning sun. Huh, what do you know?

You're a shitter. Yes, I am. I'm glad you finally noticed. The hand of mourning was the former Imperial Freeblade who sought unsuccessfully to defend Naminggast from an invasion by the Black Legion forces, of Vorash Soul Flair. Despite their efforts, the Imperial World was conquer

and the two Freeblades were captured and brought before the Soul Flair. The master of possession then subjected the Free Blades to horrific chaos rituals for a year before each was finally

being broken and sworn fealty to the Soul Flair. The second Freeblade was pumped full of sludge, rendered from the writhing corpses of the recently possessed. and the knight and its noble drowned in viscous fluid. Now reborn as the hand of mourning.

The master of possession gave his loyal new dreadblade a quest intended to increase its power. It was dispatched with a true name of an ancient demon prince and told to bring the creature back to the soul flayer by any means necessary. Boy, howdy. That's not fun. That is no moss. a whole lot of no moss.

What's a soul flare? Oh, it's the guy's name. His name was like Harkin's Soul Flair or whatever the fuck. Oh, oh, oh, so it was just like a, what, like a Chaos Space Marine or something? Or a Chaos... Yeah, he's a named Black Legion Space Marine. Ah, okay, gotcha,

gotcha. I thought it was like a SoulFlayer, chaos demon or something, but it's just, okay, it's a Chaos Space Marine that just flays people and is a real big fucker. Well, I mean, they are Chaos Space Marines. Yep. Yep, let's drown them in sludge Oh boy

Good time, the sludge of the Of the dead I don't know why But as soon as I said let's drown them in sludge All I could imagine was these Night pilots in some sludge But they've got like the little They've got the little floaties on their arms

Going, no, no And as they slowly sink I can float, I can live I don't know why, that's just Yeah Well DK, if you ever need to be drowned in sludge you know exactly where to go.

Yeah, the soul flare apparently. And then get reborn is the hand of morning. Yeah. It's so bright. Oh, it must be morning. Oh, oh, God. Oh, it fucking burns. That's the hand of morning. Like, when you first wake up and the sun is really bright, like, ah, I got to put my hand in front of the morning sun. And then he's sort of this, this fucking co-odulated, like, mass of flesh.

and they all giggle at the same time. They're like, ha ha ha ha ha. That'd be a great meme picture for the contest. Like, oh, my knight, he's drowning in sludge, but he's got the floaties, so he's okay. It's a giant, like a chaos night, but he just has big floaties. He's got floaties. Instead of, like, the big chainsaw, he's got, like, a pool noodle. All right, this has been dumb.

It's been dumb for a while. Don't, like, you, listeners of ours know that this is the kind of bullshit you're supposed to expect. It is true. It is true. That being said, today was a fun episode. It was very casual. It was very just like, ah, we're talking more about knights and stuff. Yeah, casual, fun, learned about some nights, learned that we want more on nights. Yo, House Seith, come on now. Yes, House Seith and Blisterborn.

Those two need way more lore. The fact, at least Seid has Death's Welcome, and they've got, you know, the Chain Man, and the Tarynan Helms. Blisterborn has nothing. At least, yeah, at least you have lore for Sy. Blisterborn. You literally only like Blisterborn because its name is Blisterborn. That's it.

It sounds like it should be so much cooler than it is, and it's just nothing. Yeah. Well, I mean, I'm sure there's some lore on it. At the moment, the Wiki isn't going to be much. Yeah. Yeah. So. All right.

Well, D.K., big ups, big money, big bucks. Thank you everyone for watching this episode. That's ridiculous. You know, send us some stuff, you know, share some progress. I guess you can send us your submissions on Discord as well. But do you think. It should be fun, good times. Make sure check out collectible squids.

Read the book, buy some dice, do all the things. And, um, do you have any parting words? Um. Justice for blisterborn. Justice for blisterborn. Justice for house scythe. More art for the art gods. Lour for the lore kings.

I was hoping you were going to say lore for the lore god and I'd be like, ah, lore for the lorgar. Hey, my knight's got backstory. More lore for my guys. Oh, my God, there's a bird outside of my tower. Oh, Jesus Christ. Lord God! Mama Mia!
