To quote my co-worker who saw me watching this; "I guess Librarian's have a more interesting job in the far future huh?" He's not wrong though!

The Hive Mind about to attack Mephiston : "Oh good, delicious psychic food. With the Shadow in the Warp to protect my creatures, it will quickly be a nice appetizer." Mephiston : *channels his powers so good he actually overpower the Shadow in the Warp and produce a fire hurricane. The Hive Mind : "Food too hot ! Food too hot !"

Librarian's are some of my favourite Space Marines just for how powerful they can be,yet how restrained they need to be to hold off damnation. Now that's good Grimdark.

Well, Mephiston by example is such a strong librarian, he bodied a few Daemon Champions of the Chaos Gods and made Magnus look freaking stupid, so, a few of them are almost equals to their Primarchs.

I love the stormseers! By far my favorite librarians. Yesugei is one of the coolest characters of the entire heresy. I also like how jaghatai and the white scars didn't seem to give the shady eye to yesugei and the stormseers. Yesugei was pretty much jaghatais favorite and most beloved advisor and he had such a human side to his personality. He was funny and joked like all the time. Just a great character and an awesome librarian. Dude was a beast! His death brought a tear to my eye

I'd say there's a further difference between a sorcerer and a psyker. To be a psyker you basically must be born as a psyker, possessing some psychic potential to tap the warp for power. While anyone at all can become a sorcerer, you just wouldn't necessarily be able to do all the things a sorcerer that is also a psyker would, or not as easily. What you learn to do as a sorcerer is a combination of asking or compelling the various critters of the warp to do things that benefit you by doing various things in realspace, and also ways to control the energy of the warp in a limited fashion, again by doing various things in realspace, these are often completely nonsensical things such as speaking gibberish prayers while performing hand signs and brandishing implements stained with various foul substances, and so on, and the result is almost like cheat codes for reality. There also exists ACTUAL console commands for reality in the 40k universe, and these are so powerful that even the few daemons that actually know some rarely teach any of these to mortals.

I saw a librarian once. He was carrying a staff of such immense size he could have riden it like a broom. I told him to do a kick flip and then ran away. I made down it a whole hive level before I was hit in the back of the head by the librarian's serf, whom he had hurled on a hurricane wind, while shouting "Four!" He seemed to be disturbed by this and started counting up "five... six..." when he reached seven he turned into an puddle of goo, and splashed on the boots of a passer by. This is all I saw before falling over the railing. I am falling still. I think I am about half way through the main down drainage pipe, somewhere in the mid-level of the under hive. Really good wifi down here though.

I like how the librarians are always held at arms length because of how dangerous they can be, unless you’re the grey knights, in that case no one cares cause everyone’s a psycher

I swear the 40k lore is an endless rabbit hole. The first time I read about librarians, I wanted to know more about psychers. Then I found the ranking system (alpha to omega). The I read that an alpha plus psycher can fold a titan in half like a piece of paper. Then I found out what a titan is...long story short I can completely understand why they get shot the moment they are found. As always an amazing dive into the lore. Thanks a lot :)

I love this! I'd love to see further deep dives in other units like Chaplains, Techmarines and maybe a xenos/chaos unit or two

I have always loved the White Scars and Jaghatais nature. From the beginning the Stormseers held many similarities to the Space Wolf rune priests they didn't pull directly from the warp. Leman Russ despite fighting to ban all use of psychic in the legions did not adhere to the edict lay down by the Council of Nikaea since he still used Space Wolf psykers refusing to admit they were psykers.

one of the primarchs are back and your talking about this? That's Heresy right there and I'm calling The Inquisitor

Its so good that the librarians are getting their own terminators

Much appreciated, Wes. Your output and quality are consistently top notch. Thank you! I’d love to see a “literature guide” video or section at the end of your videos. For example, as I watched, I kept asking myself, “ I wonder if theorems a book that shows an aspirant climbing the ranks to librarian…” It would be great if you could give us book recommendations for all of your topics. I’m sure it’s a big lift but I know I’d love to hear it!

At 7:25 all i could think of when Wes was talking for the explanation of psykers having to share the burden was the two psykers from the short film series Astartes with the twin psykers on that with the golden masks !

So nice to be back, I finally got into Warhammer with a killer deal of four minis and 2 books for 15 bucks and I am back to binge these lore vs videos

I’ve wondered about the Librarians, and now I’m VERY intrigued! Thanks again Wes! You are on fire with these videos!

Surprising you didn't mention The Grey Knights who are essentially an entire chapter of Librarian Astartes.

Dude I can never get enough of your videos, they are some of my favorite ways to absorb the lore since fixed income makes it hard to get the books or build my army(Ad-Mech). Would you ever consider doing a Tech-Marine deep dive? I've been obsessed with them ever since I read the Salamander's Omnibus and Master of the Forge Argos had some awesome moments.
