Thunder Warriors EXPLAINED By An Australian | Warhammer 40k Lore

g'day guys and gal warhammer is just a spicy reflection of real life nothing displaces more than the thunder warriors take bodybuilders for example you find a lebo that smashes cheap roids on the daily and you get a thunder warrior you find a rich kid with a pharmacist dad who gives him access to various designer steroids and you get david laid or for this example a space marine thunder warriors were the alpha test for super soldiers and whilst they did a good job at killing irradiated peasants and mutant melee lovers they had a um short shelf life just like real life lebos that are juiced to the gills but were they just a failed precursor to the astartes or were they a modified powerhouse in their own right before we get started ding ding ding we have a winner not only did gaston the absolute mad lad by three major kill minis but he painted all three of them flawlessly like holy [ __ ] i would say this is the best paint job for the major kill terminator lord and the space elf death lord i've seen so far and the mageskill space marine is definitely a contender awesome work man as always all of these models as well as a fantasy because that's a word mini are available on the magikar website ships worldwide and all prices are in australian so cheap as chips today we'll go over what a thunder warrior is where they came from and what happened to them we'll also compare them to a space marine to see if they were inferior in every way or if the alpha test was actually greater than the beta in some ways let's get into it as i talked about in my last video which was about the dark age of technology mankind's homeworld of earth or terra as it's called in 40k was in rough shape society had completely collapsed and the world was ruled by techno barbarian warlords if you're wondering what the hell a techno barbarian warlord is just imagine mad max but everyone is driving teslas however this had all gone according to the emperor's plan see mankind during the dark age of technology was just too overpowered for him if he tried to take control they would have just gang-banged him with nanobots and other wacky sci-fi shenanigans he had to allow for the age of strife to occur in which mankind weakened greatly and then after that he had to wait for the warp storm spawned from the eldest galactic blood orgy to settle down see whilst mankind had been killing itself the emperor had been chilling in his bat cave in the himalayas slowly but surely mastering the art of genetic modification to create super soldiers that would allow to take over terror and begin his galactic conquest now to his credit the emperor managed to make a literal flawless masterpiece on his first proper attempt that being the custodies but they were very difficult to create and could not be created in large enough numbers so it was on to plan b the emperor chose dozens of thousands of warriors out of his armies to go through some pretty crude procedures organ implantation dna rewrites muscle and bone grafting as well as anabolic steroids mixed in with bin juice this was the recipe to create a thunder warrior a powerful resilient and loyal warrior who could tear through normal men like they were nothing they also boasted some pretty nice gear using the mark 1 power armor appropriately named as thunder armor this armor was even used by some space marines in the super early days this armor wasn't that good on the grand scheme of things though only the top half was actually powered and it wasn't made by mars hence wasn't very technologically advanced you also couldn't use it in space for obvious reasons but when your enemy just strap rusted metal to themselves for protection it's more than enough they also used the first patent of bolt gun which while it had some issues was extremely effective in mowing crowds down something the thunder warriors did a lot of in terms of army organization each regiment of thunder warriors was led by a primark no no not that kind of primark a thunder warrior primark who was just a normal thunder warrior who displayed a keen ability to command troops a thunder warrior primark would get one shot by any of the actual primarks the emperor with his huge mortal army backed up by thunder warriors and custodies was unstoppable a few thousand thunder warriors was enough to wipe out hundreds of thousands of normal dudes they could turn any battlefield into the come zone and with only a few decades they had conquered earth in the emperor's name now while some of the credit goes to the custodies as well as some astartes who began to emerge towards the end of the unification wars most of it goes to the thunder warriors but injecting anabolic bin juice into lebos only gets you so far after a few years the thunder warrior's bodies begun to reject the modifications for some this ended in death for others that ended in insanity some remained unaffected but the oh [ __ ] rate was very high on top of this the thunder warriors were bred for war and only for war they were pretty bad poster boy for the emperor's cause it'd be like if every space marine was a world eater not good so as the last enemy of mankind fell in the mountains at bararat and the thunder warriors celebrated a glorious victory they're all gunned the [ __ ] down now gunning down your own army because you don't like some of their stats is not a good look so officially the thunder warriors all died out in glorious battle against the enemy but yeah in reality a bunch of custodies and astartes fired upon them whilst they were in a defenseless kill zone the thunder warriors despite their power died in droves as they couldn't do [ __ ] to protect themselves the vast majority of thunder warriors died that day however a fair amount were able to escape and go into hiding it's not really clear how they escaped and hid thunder warriors weren't exactly known for their stealth capabilities thunder warriors weren't exactly known for their stealth capabilities but you know you just just roll with it the thunder warriors weren't super stoked about getting genocided so they planned a revenge attack ushotan who was the thunder primark of the fourth legion of thunder warriors waved around his thundercock and he charged at the imperial palace with a number of these thunder lads now they didn't actually think they could beat the emperor or the custodies but they wanted an honorable death in battle and a way of saying [ __ ] you to their dad defending the palace were some first generation astartes and the custodies now here is the interesting part a thunder warrior is actually better in combat versus astartes in a war these studies would win due to better tactics and versatility but in a straight-up scuffle the thunder war is usually won hensu shotan was butchering a number of space marines before he finally fought and was quickly killed by valdor who was the captain general of the custodies ushotan monologued a bit about how he was a real man that the custodies were just duty-bound automatons as he lied dying valdo actually agreed with him then finished him off was a cool moment in the law he should totally check it out that wasn't all the thunder warriors however see the survivors of mount ararat split into four groups the first group led by ushortan just wanted to die in battle hence they leroy jenkins at the imperial palace the second group wanted to actually do a proper rebellion and not just suicide by cop hence they went to the planet of cerberus and the third group didn't want to die and also didn't really blame the emperor too much for what happened hence they went into hiding in the undercities of terror and became crime lords and the fourth group just joined illegal gladiatorial arenas near the imperial palace we're going to look at the second group who are the kinder smarter rebels but not really they went to cerberus these thunder warriors waited for the empress crusade to start and then they instigated an insurrection on the prison world of cerberus the insurrection worked and over 3 million prisoners were freed and armed guardsmen regiments that went to put down the rebellion were slaughtered as they didn't expect to face big old thunderboys in battle the emperor was like these [ __ ] and he ordered the warhounds who would later be called the world eaters to go sorted out why the warhounds i hear you ask well a it's ironic and kind of funny that the warhounds had to go fight on cerberus and b all the good legions were already off conquering the galaxy so the emperor had to use the trash he had on hand with the warhounds involved the rebellion was crushed and every single prisoner and thunder warrior was massacred interestingly enough though every time a thunder warrior was killed he took three to four warhounds with him which makes me think that the intelligent and more elite thunder warriors were the ones that escaped the slaughter of mount ararat whilst the dumbass thunder warriors didn't killing three to four starters by himself in a single fight is something only a custody's primark or greater demon have been seen to reliably do so huge props to the thunder warriors or you know maybe the warhounds just [ __ ] suck the most legendary of all the thunder warriors arik taranes as well as a handful of other thunder warriors were able to form a crime syndicate arik was smart enough to figure out a way how to harvest a starting gene seed and convert it to thunder warrior compatible gene seed to slow down the thunder warrior's physical deterioration and extend their lifespans dramatically don't ask me how he did it i doubt the emperor gave him hectic lessons on it but they sorted it out hence they remained crime lords all the way up until the end of the horus heresy and maybe even beyond some thunder warriors actually put in a big shift to stop the traders thunder warrior herrick helped the custodies foil and alpha legend plot to sabotage imperial defenders which cost him his life whilst other thunder warriors ended up being gladiators who either died in the gladiatorial pits or died foiling alpha legion plots thus whilst it does seem weird that the thunder warriors especially ones that have undergone severe mental degradation were able to foil the alpha legion considering how smart the alpha legion is but i think it's due to the fact that they lived and breed the undercity meant that they kind of knew it better than the other imperial forces the fact that the thunder warriors have been genocided like five times now shows that gw are really struggling to let them go old lore had them all dead at mount ararat newer lore killed them at cerberus and now it seems that the one or two of them could have survived beyond the horus heresy i reckon just let the thunder [ __ ] be dead gw they put in a good shift but now it's time for them to go if you enjoyed the video and you want to
