Top Comments of this video!! :3
i think what makes the nightlords interesting, is the fact that they are evil murderers, they seem way more human than the other traitor legions. unlike the others who either don't care, love killing, or delude themselves into thinking they're somehow justified based on a 10,000 year long grudge, they know they're assholes. and they make no attempt to be anything else. they actually have a decent enough reason to feel betrayed unlike the others who still believe in Horus's lie. they were meant to be terror troops, yet they were scorned because they were too good at it. they don't deserve sympathy or anything, but i think it's the fact that they actively choose to be evil, is what gives them the ability to show, shocking amounts of kindness and even empathy and compassion once in a blue moon. looking at you Talos.
it's a weird dynamic. who's more evil? they guy who feels angry, bitter, and thus lashes out in evil ways while trying to justify it, or the guys who were made to be evil, know their evil, but will show empathy if so inclined.
wow this is a bloated overly long comment

The Emperor of Mankind created his Space Marines to conquer the Galaxy from the horrors of both Alien and Mankind, but he also realized that he could conquer from of these through a very primitive emotion, FEAR. The Night Lords were the Emperor weapon of Terror, where the Imperial Fists and Iron Warriors were to siege a planet, or to enemies who he wanted destroy with no trace of them he will send the Iron Hands and the World Eaters, but if he wants to send a message to his enemies he will send his monsters of the Night Lords to do the horrific deed. Perhaps if their Primarch was more sane and noble their fate and destiny could have been avoided, sadly that will not be the case as Conrad Cruze was a total monster who plunge his entire legion into infamy for their betrayal of the Emperor and his Imperium.

This is my favorite legion for many reason, but I guess it's mostly because they're really tragic in a way.
The 8th Legion truly never stood a chance, their Primarch tortured with an ability to ONLY see the worst possible ending for himself which is his death by his father was slowly being driven insane with the idea he lacked an autonomy. His brothers despised him his planet despised him, but his Legion despite their scruples hung on and tried to remain loyal to the imperium. A legion that was the dredges of their society even before their Primarch's home planet started sending them nothing but rapist and murders exclusively they were first and foremost murders who was using their trade to do something they assumed was for the greater good.
Listening to the audiobooks for this legion its just so sad because I genuinely can't really see an ending where they wouldn't remain what they are in the current setting.

Because the Wolves kill cleanly, and we do not. They also kill quickly, and we have never done that, either. They fight, they win, and they stalk back to their ships with their tails held high. If they were ever ordered to destroy another Legion, they would do it by hurling warrior against warrior, seeking to grind their enemies down with the admirable delusions of the 'noble savage'. If we were ever ordered to assault another Legion, we would virus bomb their recruitment worlds; slaughter their serfs and slaves; poison their gene-seed repositories and spend the next dozen decades watching them die slow, humiliating deaths. Night after night, raid after raid, we'd overwhelm stragglers from their fleets and bleach their skulls to hang from our armour, until none remained. But that isn't the quick execution the Emperor needs, is it? The Wolves go for the throat. We go for the eyes. Then the tongue. Then the hands. Then the feet. Then we skin the crippled remains, and offer it up as an example to any still bearing witness. The Wolves were warriors before they became soldiers. We were murderers first, last, and always!

I love just how much of chads they are, giving the opportunity to fall into chaos at anytime, but not wanting to.
âPlease accept the gift of the Dark Godsâ
NL 1: âNah, comrade. Professionals have standardsâ
NL 2: âUm⌠Blood for the-! smack ow!â
NL 1: âShut up, Torbos! You disgust me!â

Whatâs makes the knight lords interesting from the other traitor legions was they were not groomed to fall from the start.
The death guard emperors children world eaters and 1000 sons were pushed prodded and influenced by the chaos gods into become theirs.
In the context of the great game the Knight lords are the eternal wild card not really factoring a place in the plans of the chaos gods.
