THE MACCABIAN JANISSARIES ; MOST POWERFUL REGIMENT IN THE ASTRA MILITARUM - WARHAMMER 40K LORE

the macban janisar realization the room was spacious but entirely empty but for two large chairs simultaneously two doors opened at either end of the room and one man walked through each portal a line of servitors following them from one party the servitors carried stacks of paperwork on the other there was barely a page to be had for each servator on the top of each of the pages was a single title makabe and jiser dispositions the two walked to meet each other and bowed to exactly the same degree at exactly the same time then straightened and took the additional pace and clasped hands in welcome the two looked so similar dressed in ceremonial Robes of high office one was marked with the sigils of the administratum the other was that of the munitorum the administratum official was the one where the servor arms were filled with papers the munitorum the one lacking for their thrs the two smiled at each other and traded a few moments of small talk how was their family member how was their aror they had done this so many times over the centuries for both were recipients of Rejuvenation and Longevity treatments they knew the dance trusted each other as much as any could when dealing with an operative of another wing of the mighty Imperium then finally they got to the reason of the meeting and the servitors approached and passed papers to the men then they conversed in Earnest the administratum delegate sighed at his readouts and then stated wistfully do you remember when we used to have these meetings before how our places were revered opposite me bringing the Staggering Reams the reports of their losses you having but meager requisition orders indeed it has always been tedious stated the munitorum official I did not look forward to these B decadal meetings before it's been too long we both know this is no fluke no flash in the pan not after this long no it is not and it is only getting worse it is I am glad you see it too I feel so odd about this surely we should be cheering should we not I know I feel it too half of me sees this as a light in the overwhelming Darkness the other half sees it as a potential Calamity of unfathomable proportions well put but what if the ministorum truly takes stock they knew this before we did they must have it can only be the Primark then Primark I true it's all so new the first returning as well I cannot believe it we should sing praises to their names give thanks to the Emperor of course for their return no not just for that for their returning now you think it is only they who prevent well the obvious yes if they are not on their knees in supplication even they cannot move against The Returned blessed Sons true but for how long the way things are going a century maximum surely we could ask for the services of the minor tours I fear it might take a lot more than a single chapter even the minor tours a lot more we could well we could cut off resources and turn a possibility into a certainty no no we have the Scions as well perhaps we should place them back onto the front lines properly but we have as always we are the most accommodating to their preferences for the most rugged of theaters they should have been dying at the same rate oh yes oh [Music] indeed welcome gentle listener I am baldemort to your faithful servant and I wish to introduce you to the forces factions and faces of the Warhammer 40K setting the Grim darkness of the far future where there is no time for peace there is only time for war today we should be taking a look at what I suspect is a line of reasoning that has not been followed thus far even amongst the everg growing constellation of my peers as today I shall go fully Off Script yes there will be hard law as always but the reframing of this law is now fundamentally important but why because I like to link the dots and cast a fresh perspective on the details that have not yet been drawn together and something has gotten into my CAW a little lately just a tad and I feel guilty almost as I seem in some small way to have contributed to it for the there is a myth so loudly trumpeted so often repeated so aized that I find it somewhat ome and it is this that the death cord of c are the most fanatical the most suicidal the most courageous Warriors in the astrom militarum H oh they are Mighty their deeds loable and their metal is iron yet they are tactical Warriors trained on the fields of c and live fire exercises giving them skills and attributes to make them superlative Warriors they will March towards an enemy line if required but unless their officer is an idiot which is rare for C then they will do so with skill the kesman unit is almost psychic in its coordination discipline and compatibility they know how to survive and yes they're Dy and almost unbreakable almost but the dhor of a cman charging a veteran of the long war with a shovel in hand well in the setting Gana only one result a snapped kesman often in many pieces and C does not breed idiots but do not fear I'm not telling you to quit the memes just give them to their true owners for today we shall discuss a regiment that will never break will never run will'll Never Back Down we'll accept any losses we'll continue on and on even when others might be disbanded and resettled or even sent home no these men fight onto the last of their number they do not complain they do not count their losses they recall the names of their fallen brothers and smile to one another as they are jealous of the Glorious dead for they are with the god emperor of mankind and in the very phanes of the living Saint drusus and their lord is old so let us now update it no Fabrications no embellishments that take them from the path or established law this is just their logical update bringing them into the scope of the age indomitus and then in stating exactly what would be their new circumstances and their new found potence for gentle listener student of the Imperium and all of its enemies both within and without when all is said and done I challenge you to refute my logic and perhaps just perhaps we can agree to give this regiment the standing it should always have had as today we shall be talking about the bravest of the Brave each man amongst them is said to be the equivalent of the raw talent and determination of an adepto sarti aspirant each man is said to be armed and armored every bit as well as a force of the elite tempestous Scions each man is now a thing as terrifying as their previous superiors but now almost contemporaries in power the adep of saritas for these are the maccabian janissaries and so gentle listener let us kick off the proceedings with a Swift Tail to wet the appetite and set the scene but have no fear watch on there will be more dotted throughout I assure you from the Bold Library confessions I worked hard for a decade I stove once there were regular ships like lots of opportunities now hardly any so I had to work harder than anyone else on my planet millions of us Millions who wanted this one thing to go there to give homage to pray before the statues to give thanks some might even dream to become one of St dru's own Warriors but not I I prayed remembered my scriptures word for word no action for the Cardinal was too small for me no deed done without absolute devotion I would not waste my time dreaming of an impossibility I would just do this and somehow I managed it to be chosen to be able to go on the pilgrimage to macabus quintis only aund of us from this continent would go but I knew I had to be one of them my first memory is when I heard of his greatness how he smashed the xenos crushed the traitors broke the unrighteous over his knee duus the living Saint and from that moment onwards all I wanted was to say thank thank you and when it finally happened I was shocked that I was one of them me my goal had been realized but I still could not believe it I did not begrudge the months in Flight I did not mind being crammed in so tight that there was barely room to lay down to sleep I did not mind that when we did it was in the urine and feces we had expelled all always hungry always cramped yet it was nothing to me I was going I would be able to walk where he walked to see the skies that witnessed his reth I would touch the very ground that drusus himself stood on and it was everything I had dreamed of more the huge py the long marches of temples and Sanctified marble Avenues I wept when I saw him all in gold and silver I screamed my devotion to the god Emperor and over the time somehow I was chosen again we were all marched into Arenas tested and retested we pilgrims for stamina for courage for speed for skill and I I was brought into the ranks of the militia itself but it kept on happening I did what I was instructed I obeyed without thought without reservation every breath I took every step taken every act or action performed I did to my fullest as a devotional to him to drus I like trillions of humans in this region only did so because of him because of drusus but strangely this was all that was needed this was enough I could never understand why it was so easy to give in to become filled with his light his example why could others not do this so yet again I was chosen again I was blessed and I became one of them the dream I never was able to even wish to dream uh the hope I knew could never become reality it did I was one of them the training was hard but again I just did as I was instructed I did what the god Emperor and his Saint would want I obeyed so many died in the training so many lost their light to fatigue or misunderstanding they failed because they lacked the one thing that made me so potent they died because they lacked faith and now I was a maab be jary it is true that the maban janies are all recruited from the pilgrims that arrive on macabus quinters they are zealots before they receive their first day of boot camp drawn from the best of the militia forged in harsh drills that leave many dead they are the janissaries now we must discuss the basics of the history of this Force where they came from why and what it means it all began with the anine Crusade I shall give a prey of the details it won't take long the Imperium sometimes raises its banners to expand its territory this was such an event in the year 332 Millennium 39 pror Goa anine was a know on the home world holy Terror and he managed to get himself elevated to Lord militant of the astrom militarum a high rank indeed and with it he also managed to gain approval from the high Lords of teror to go forth and bring the light of the emperor to the darkness Beyond his realm then this was no small thing as elements of the Crusade were drawn from the soul system and the Deep core world of the Imperium and supported by some of the most potent forces the emperor commands billions of astrom militar men and women tanks artillery and support Titan Leo's ventor and Magna the black Templars tiger arent sons of Medusa and charal guard Space Marines and they had extensive use of Rogue Traders and explorator fleets to scout ahead of the onrushing Crusade this was designated not only a crusade but also a war of faith to bring the word of the emperor to the darkness hence huge amounts of frateris militia were also permitted to be mastered under the decree passive men cannot usually be armed while serving the adeptas ministorum the holy church yet in these instances Crusades or Wars of Faith then they can be Marshal and break the decree that usually means that only the sisters of the adepto saritas can March beneath a holy Banner of the Imperial cult this was a radical and aggressive fanatical Crusade aren't they all but the result was a really stupendous mess for rarely can The Fanatic take heed of the wisdom of his peers and with so many all in one place only Victory could hold them together something that started well but soon factured into factionalism when the progress slowed then stopped because when the the Warriors of God are not successful then they look for the traitors and the unclean who have somehow counteracted the divine blessing that guarantees Victory The Crusade initially took many worlds smashing and Exterminating three entire xenos races and one of them was not small the U vath something I shall get into in more detail in the future and when reinforcements were sent from Tera as a reward for such progress The Crusade had a second wind and all of this time a name began to rise in prominence amongst the two prongs of the assault General duers hundreds of Wells fell to the inexorable March of the Imperial Crusade yet Greed for Glory ruined everything extending the breadth of the Crusade it lost its impetus its forward motion and casualties became eye watering the The Crusade had stalled as colonists from Terror were arriving in the newly freed region and this meant that they had to be protected orc onslaughts and xenos Raiders threatened the new colonies endlessly or striking from Beyond the reaches of the Crusade and the Crusade went from wrathful Warriors to Garrison and firefighting duties Rebellion swept across their newly taken regions and dire portance were seeing the length and breadth of the region causing even greater drains on the existing Manpower of the Crusade who now had to put down insurrections as well as fighting off the xenos the lack of success meant the fanatical leadership caused the Crusade to fracture as anine gave too much Authority and autonomy to his Regional officers there was no cohesion and no direction and infighting broke out almost instantly the only officer still holding sway over more than just his own divisions was of course dusers yet while defending the plant macabus quintus he was then slain in a surprise attack by the enemy some say he was annihilated by a demon some say he was removed by an imperial assassin in either case it was not permanent I know from the dead drusus rose again again this time infused with the Power and Light of the emperor himself and his name soon became Legend and his authority swiftly grew a large section of the Crusade declared him a living Saint and he mastered as many forces as he could around macabus and then LED them out into a third and final wave of the Crusade it went well yet the courtly intrigues continued and anine himself was assassinated duus was the only choice for his replacement a role he took on with pride and conviction The Crusade was always being attacked by a terrible race of xenos named the uath but finally finally they were defeated their race was excoriated and their home given the exterminatus decree nothing would live there ever again and with that final victory in place drusus finally signaled that the Crusade was complete duus lorded by all of Terror was given the newly formed cxus sector as his fom duus ruled well and then died of natural causes as its Lord and upon his passing he was forly declared an imperial Saint it took nearly A Century Of course but the die was cast and in so doing the plant on which he regener erated was dubbed a shrine world and from there it was all history a shrine world is a serious business in all meanings of the word h it is entire world set aside to the devotion of either the god Emperor or of a saint usually but they do vary many will concentrate on resource harvesting pilgrims or locals others will create for a vacation but this was a place that saw the rebirth of the Lord drusus the saint of war between every Palace between every Church a marshal Cadence beat at its heart and every piece of armor or Weaponry was a devotional a sacrific to the god emperor in his aspect of War and the army that they raised on this world the macban janissaries were superlatively armed because of it with a heavier version of the Las gun which makes it appear more like a Bolter it really stuck out and each Army had a huge amount of melters plasmas and missile launcher Weaponry as heavily equipped as a Scions but in an entire Army the most distinct thing of course was their mask not unheard of for the blood angels were known to wear them as well but rarely if ever an entire Army from a world it has enhanced sens it provides a little armor but is fixed to support it this made them dangerous shock troops before but back then they would simply keep attacking until gone or Victorious but now their faith in the emperor is unshakable but it must now also be a weapon one perhaps not as honed but most certainly the equal of the sisters of battle priests are they Warrior amongst the ranks and surely as things now stand of all of his worthy and faithful Warriors why would the emperor not bless the macab beans righteousness I stand shoulder toosh shoulder with my brothers we march to our sides are the Lesser regimens those who lack faith those who lack steel and we Marge right into the fiercest fire from the enemy as we always request a traitor World a bunch of sacriligious near Dells who turn their back on the emperor and now bow before repugnant beings this is their land so they T so they shout but this is not so for all of the Galaxy belongs to him to the emperor and we shall remind them of this as we march across a plane they open up thuds and explosions ReSound through the air plumes of red and yellow consuming fire burst amongst the lines to our left and right but we are not struck not directly the explosions appear above us but none penetrates the Holy Faith we hold the priests stand with the commissars at the very front of our ranked Advance they blare out himnos as they take to the skies and Float above us as we advance one opens his book and reads the litanies of hate the rights of extermination and the fires of holy wrath grow as we March the enemy now stand at the edge of their trenches firing at us directly some of us fall we March over their bodies it is all as he intends it the weak and faithless will fall the righteous will pass through the Yol of fire it is then that we hear it the howl of something ungodly and it screeches taken up by the masses behind the Enemy Lines they burst forth they are red xenos beings of red carrying curved swords and with horns and teeth everywhere we hear the Wailing that comes from the left and right of our own lines the cowards stop they shudder and they begin to flee we do not our commissar turns and shouts his one order fix bayonets as one we do this we obey yet I smile behind my mask I want to sing I want to laugh for as we bring out our guns into the charging position a light shines from each blade a holy white pure light it blazes from each Edge as it is blessed by the emperor and His holy Saint drusus we fire into the UN rushing scum it kills two few of them but as they close we do not hunker down we do not huddle the commissar gives the only order we would want to obey charge and we do without hesitation with great Vigor we want this I want this and I get what I want the priest now Rises further away from the harm of the scum he calls down lightning from the skies which smashes their lines as they Advance yet he also showers us with the blessings of the god Emperor and we move at speeds no normal man can run we head the enemy at this ludicrous host speed and cut through them like children they are fast and deep in Caper but we are blessed we match them thrust for thrust cut for cut beheading for beheading our shining bayonets cut through them as if they were paper and we march on they dissolve as they are dealt with and within a quarter of an hour though it feels like days we now stand on an open field all of these red aliens that disappear they are gone and then the traitors watched on and now they break seeing what we have done to their masters they run and we March into the hive we the janisar we take our time we search every room Corridor Hab and Bay and we get them all it takes months for drusus for the emperor we get them all the janissaries are Fanatics every bit as terrifying as the black Templars because of their numbers but when you add them together the power of the ministorum has risen almost exponentially the maans the orders militant of the adepto saritas and the least codex compliant asares numerically the black Templars those are huge forces almost inconceivably entrenched in every segmentum of the Imperium with tendel lashing across every notable World Frontier or social starter and if the ecclesiarchy also engage Frist brotherhoods I let us hope that the Imperial cult can be contained by the sons of the emperor returned or a conflict as terrible as a Horus heresy could well be only a heartbeat away because Miracles breed Believers and with each battle the sister or the janisar win they convert more to the Deep fanaticism of the living will of the emperor ascendant and then nothing may be able to stop them now many will say so what many a regiment is filled with fanatics but no not like this where cre believes in their need to atone it is through sacrifice but also through victory the janissaries believe in the emperor and that is it Deus imperator Vault God wills it it is why they are now truly the bravest of the Brave strongest of of the strong unbreakable Unstoppable and if the ministorum ever realize the power now at their command it could be over for all of the other Lords Of Terror for The Lion and the avenging son let us hope they remain as most Ardent courageous and unbreakable forces for the good of the Imperium for we cannot forget the events of the psychic Awakening the galaxy has changed forever the end times approach and the veil is thinner the krick's maledictum is open the Orcs here the drums of gawk and mor and mass across the void the necrons arise and reclaim their old Holdings giving quarter to none the tyranids attacked the Galaxy with their never ending rapaciousness now they form base planets they will not be leaving the Eldar flock to the colors of war the aspects and the g 's masks are taken like an avalanche their anandra has begun the tear across the Galaxy floods it with the power of the warp but also with the realization of prayers and curses as the god Emperor begins to finally manifest and bless his people in battle the King in Yellow plots in his hidden domain the forces of chaos are not only abroad but increasing in power every second with each World they conquer they engorge their numbers their reach and their martial Majesty with the psychic Awakening the powers of psychers priests and paladins have forever been magnified the Advent of the long prophesied Awakening of the human psycho Gene and the elevation of the human soul has arrived Alpha class psychers will be born in ever greater numbers perhaps they will be even more powerful than that but will the primarch unify and harness this power or will it truly be the end of all Life as We Know It And there are further threats coming returning the other xenos gather the forces of chaos Master the end times are now oh God on now surely that was worth a subscribe a like at least eh now no matter what you do today do try to make some time for fun too
