It's always good to remember that Dorn kept a blanket from his grandfather within his personal quarters. Rogal may have been blunt and seemed uncaring, but he was deeply sentimental, he just kept it to himself. Which is really Dorn's way. To keep things bottled up and controlled. This, of course, leads to the interment of the Emperor upon the Golden Throne and the death of Sanguinius cracking Dorn's containment, culminating in the Iron Cage. I suspect the post-Iron Cage Fists have learned that they need to release their strong emotions at appropriate times to keep themselves from breaking at inopportune moments, or worse, falling to Chaos. When you think about the Black Templars being of the line of Dorn, most would likely think that the Templars do not fit in with the rest of the successors, but they are really just Dorn unleashed. If Dorn did not keep himself bottled up and contained, he would be the Templars, and it would be terrifying. When Dorn Fatality'd Alpharius, that was just a fraction of Dorn's fury. There's good reason that Khorne tried so hard to sway Dorn, despite the seeming impossibility of the task. A sea of blood would wash over the galaxy if that were to ever transpire.

I am not the biggest Imperial Fist fan, but after this week seeing their bonds with the successors and the fore mentioned fallen, I have a better appreciation for the legion as a whole

This is so reminiscent of Patroclus' funeral games in the Iliad, and it's a brilliant reference. One of the excellent bits of lore that really takes you to the Greco-Roman side of 40k in its full glory.

All these Imperial Fists, of which im a huge fan so not complaining. But does look like you've spent too much time near Valrak! 😂

I was pleasantly surprised at how wholesome they are. Almost like the Salamanders. :)

A solid video on a neglected chapter. Please…. When is Raven week? I dont play them, but would love a week of their lore, Sharrowkyn, The Raptors, Corvus and the HH, his posdible return? I would love acweek of sneaky beaky lore.

Great videos Rho

If you're still wearing armor below the waist, leg-locks become.... problematic.

What did you say @1:34 ? Next week is heroes of the imperium! *"Ci-Ci Ciaphas Cain, HERO OF THE IMPERIUM!"* kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pbifraVyrsjFd2g.htmlsi=RZiRJLK0BWgtj-g_

Hey Rho, have you ever done anything in depth on the Black Templars?

Well, it's just mini Feast of Blades isn't it?

Nice

Great coverage Rho, you covered their near death, their funerary rights. Will you also cover their greatest folly, being bated into the iron cage.

I just imagine that chaplain saying the astartes died and nothing left to say and kinda Biden wanders off past the still LIVING astartes who is receiving an award

A very disappointing Imperial Fist week
