The Legion of the Damned

[bible91]

one thing's for sure...I would LOVE to be in their place!!!!

[bible91]

......if i'm wrong please correct me, but from the little i know, is it possile the firehawks ARE ONE OF THE 2 MISSINIG LEGIONS???

[Rilurio]

@bible91 the firehawks are one of the second founding chapters, who's parent legion is hinted to be ultramarines but thats uncomfirmed.

[Blackberryfatal1ty1]

@Rilurio The Fire Hawks ARE the successor Chapter (second founding) of The Ultra Marines Chapter.

[Blackberryfatal1ty1]

@bible91 Yes.

[Myrion85]

Death before dishonour!

[yo09ify]

children of the damned would have been a good song for them

[thejuns22]

0:24-0:28 was pretty bad ass. and i'm a big fan of the grey knights

[CRAZYPADDY2008]

i used to think the black templars were the coolest! fuck i was so wrong lol xD

[perkeleensotasika]

Humanity.. safe guarded by monsters.

[zuluzanzibar11]

Imagen a army of Gost rider. (the super hero) and now give him a HUGE armory of awsome armor/wepons to tear your enemy to sunder!!!!!!

[CRAZYPADDY2008]

@zuluzanzibar11 imagine someone that can spell properly lol

[Siolfor80]

They seem to be something like the WH 40K version of WoW's Death Knights.

[theshawkernator]

@Siolfor80

Only 30 years older.

[MiltiadesOfMarathon]

@Siolfor80 Indeed, except in most respects.

[ZugzwangUT99]

@Siolfor80 Nothing like it

[CRAZYPADDY2008]

@Siolfor80 nothing like it lol

[Hunkyfish20]

I Think these guys are the ultimate force against chaos, since they seem to be a back-fired product of the chaos gods themselves. unless there is another warp entity thats pulling strings.

[UnHolyFurBall]

So are they traitor marines?

[MrGodzilla198]

@UnHolyFurBall Nah man, nah. They are still loyal to the Emperor. Beyond death.

[UnHolyFurBall]

@MrGodzilla198 I read up on them. How they appear right at the breaking point of the imperial forces to help them push the enemy back and leave when they turned the tide in the imperials favor.

[cumbustable1]

guardsman: WE WON THE BATTLE HIGH FIVE!!!! :D

legionare:............

guardsman: (backs away slowly)

[Unit93JV]

New space marine codex says that they might be from Fire hawks chapter. It´s not sure, so why all people say that Legion of Damned is Fire hawks? Read codex!

[6Xero9]

@Unit93JV Um the ship they use is the last remaining ship of the Fire Hawks fleet. In dedicato imperatum ultra articulo mortis (For the Emperor beyond the point of death) - Legion of the Damned motto

[AkiraBrahe]

@Unit93JV The blacklibrary has just published a book about them and released an extremely nice screen saver....a Space marines so warped by the inmaterium and still loyal to humanity certainly deserve more credit....I probably will read it as soon as finish with the Silver Skulls and Night Lords material I bough...so may things to do, so short life...

[screwthenet]

More Legion OF the Damned stuff plz ^^

[notenufdaka]

SKULLS FOR THE SKULL...golden throne? WTF?

[xese4lifex]

I like the pic at 0:44 where they are helping the Blood Angel. It fits the whole "we come out at right place and the right time" theme.

[Maciejka0111]

Hell, I'd like them to have their own codex. GW gave them one giant identity crisis. First, they were an army in their own right (yet with no useful rules), and now they are a unit formation in the present Ultra....ekhm, I've meant Space Marine Codex (yet substantially stronger).

[Alex025ize]

@Maciejka0111 Yeah it would totally be awesome to have a codex dedicated to them :P But I think GW should at first work on the other factions that were left behind in 4th edition to give them a good upgrade for 6th edition, and then BANG! Legion of the Damned codex :P That would rock off.

[Maciejka0111]

@Alex025ize

BTW. The 6th edition is coursing back into WARHAMMER FANTASY.....IN SPACE!!!!! Wish they gave the Squats back.

[bifrostius]

Hey, do any of u know if theres any books or novels about the "Legion of the damned" or the Fire Hawks?

[makakooos]

@bifrostius there will be... it will be in Space Marines Battles series, sry I can´t tell you more, I just saw a cover artwork for it. Otherwise I am not sure, I read a lot, but this I don´t know.

[bifrostius]

@makakooos Thx, i'm looking forward to it.

[MrGhostly12321]

So despite being freakish hell soldiers they're still loyal to the bone?

Well fuck with loyalty like that humanity might survive afterall.

[goen5601]

I think this is the back fire of nurgle or tzeenech plan some how.

[fnfdmgjfndf]

@goen5601 Well, Tzeentch being Tzeentch, this may actually turn out to be just as planned.

[goen5601]

@fnfdmgjfndf may be........ to be continue.

[MrGodzilla198]

@goen5601 Nurgle would have just given them some random plague. I don't know with Tzeenech...

[Rilurio]

@MrGodzilla198 NOBODY KNOWS WITH TZEENTCH! well except creed, of course BUT OTHER THAN THAT TZEENTCH IS UNKNOWABLE!

[Unkehz0r]

@Rilurio Unless you're the Emperor, who Tzeentch rightfully fears should the Emperor be reborn.

[Unkehz0r]

Reference: The actual WH40K lore.

[varangian95]

@goen5601 nah, some of the fluff says that it was the eldar that did it. so that makes it more likely to be slannesh, or the result of the emperor making happy with the webway like the HH books said he was doing. still, all/some will be revealed when the new book shows up in april.

[notenufdaka]

who sais lunatics are a bad thing?

[lotsodakka]

epic video firstly but codex says that they could be, not are fire hawks :P anyway great vid good music and keep up the good work!

[LordCHull]

I'd like to see you enter the warp and emerge this epic

[calgar1978]

Great video.

[RANDOM7070]

Well actually yuor right tp think that they are no one knows who the legion is

[notenufdaka]

KILL IT WITH FIRE! NOW KILL IT AGAIN!!!

[poynter126]

one thing dont make sense to me if they r the fire hawks and they decided to fight as equal then y do u get Sargents in the squads?

[CrushedByATank]

@poynter126 There has to be leadership, in the midst of battle they cant just gather up and have a group vote about what to do.

[poynter126]

@CrushedByATank but then it means that they dont fight as equals i prefer the idea that they are the legion of one of the lost primarchs

[DcmPt]

Combat Rescue Marines...I wished their fate could be different.

[JIGYxMYxTHINGYx]

What's the name of this song and freaking badass man

[TheWarcalf]

@JIGYxMYxTHINGYx look in the info

[muratira]

Oh, my god. Is it just me or are those at 0:13 freakin terminators?

[hutchy1k94]

@muratira

2+ armour and 3+ invulnerable... We're coming to get ya! >=)

[Avatrass]

@hutchy1k94

Better! Codex states that damned marines armour save is invunerable....

Yes, they should be 2+ 2++ !!!

[GearShotgun]

Just when i thought they couldnt make the skull covered armor look more epic.....

[DONTshootIMAhuman]

The legion appears at the right place at the right time. Theyre said to be linked directly to the emperors will because their psychic powers are so strong. Most likely because of their mutation/being in the warp that long. Bottom line.. Theyre bad ass.

[apollo2345]

When Ghost Rider decides to sign up for the Space Marines lol

[Kickyaass2255]

lol these marines are awesome with there 3+ invurnable save and two attack points makes orks look pathetic in close quarter fighting

[Upwinger2020]

These are genuinely scary. Good thing they are on our side!

[graffnameseed]

0:45 is that a blood angel? lol why cant our codex get these marines? unless they only help the certain chapters, dark angels and blood angels cant get them

[Unkehz0r]

@graffnameseed As I am aware, the Legion of the Damned in lore appears anywhere and everywhere in the imperium to help defend Mankind from the alien and heretic threats. That means they'll aid any imperial force wherever they deem it necessary.

[MrKazaddum]

hm to prove this we need a Primarch , if one of them winns against him in a sparing match, he is at least on custodian level :D

[muratira]

@MrKazaddum Let's not forget that even if he's on custodian level they are dying. That power has a price, it is temporary, and when it wears out they die. That is why they are called the legion of the damned because they are damned to die whatever they do, so they fight as much as they can while they live.

[rebelpy]

id prefer to fight with a chaos daemon instead of 0:42 <--- that sick motherfucker. Look at that fukn neck wires O_O

[icantbelieveitshuman]

Man i love 0:45 best pic ever

[mandan422]

they should be called death marines

[FlamingBridgeTroll]

I love the fluff behind them, I'm making an entire Legion of the Damned space marine army.

[thorkveld]

@FlamingBridgeTroll Gonna take some epic kit bashing, but I'm sure it can be done. :)

[flark454]

what would happen if DoW2 got the Legion Of The Damned?

[ptunger3]

ultimate deus ex machina

[AdamShifnal]

I love the "fluff" behind the Legion of the Damned! :D Appearing on Planets, ready to raid the enemy or bolster the Imperial Lines!

[Occhiodiargento]

Soooo coool xD

[ImperialGuard9001]

Even in death these beyoind death space marines figh the enemies of Emperor and Mankind they are trully brave after surviving a eternity in agony despair and torture they still protect the Imperium in anny place where they are need they most lost their sanitiy but they are still the best of the best the elite of the elite!

[AdamShifnal]

the begining of this song reminds me of Predator 2 =D

[ImmortalinHim77]

Oh these guys are sick. . .they need a novel. Lol, I'll write one.

[ArmenSur]

@ImmortalinHim77 Your wish has been answered, April 2010 The novel "The Legion of the Damned" will be released, sadly it's written by Rob Sanders who I am not a massive fan of...

[TaitFox]

A proper tribute paid to a Chapter so distraught but so loyal, there is a lot more to them than this though as far as I know..

[pitbull68127]

Awesome !

[FilmFr3ky]

Great tribute mate!

[cjholly91]

Great... Now I want to make a full LotD SM army...

[EIN771]

these guys are really the only space marines i would consider scary, i think the music makes them scarier too

[2SSSR2]

Excellent tribute...

The music peace is similar to "For The Craftworld" from DoW II.

[mcvit]

nice tribute as always

[darka28]

The music fits the video nicely.

[AdamShifnal]

"Damnation, Where is our support!?!?!" Im so tempted to do these as a full Army =D proper Green stuffed army! P.S: welcome to 40kNation

[Asken96]

are them good or bad? look so chaos

[iliketobygames]

@Asken96 Nope they're Loyalty is to the Imperium only emerging from the shadows to help it

[israelowns12]

@iliketobygames so since the contagion grants them more strength, does that make them as strong or stronger then the dudes who guard the emperor palace?

[huntercd]

totally tragic, but they would have made better chaos marines >:D

[GamzaTheEternal]

0:45 is my favorite picture :). great job man this is cool!

[TheGarvarn]

Nice bled of music and picts, the legion of the damned are pretty awesome
