I haven't been able to put it to words what made me so drawn to him and his legion, but this video finally put my feelings to words. The inherent sadness of his loss, the potential, the change stopped too soon. I see myself in him and fear to end up like him, leaving a mark which you were too late to heal.

The Iron Hands were definitely better off before meeting their primarch. They were a lot more like the ultramarines, only a little bit more exacting and rigid in their organization.

Iron Hand: "You will fail. Your sentimentality will be your undoing. The flesh is weak." Salamander: "I have heard you say that phrase on several occasions since our first encounter. I am not sure that you really understand what it means." Iron Hand: "You may have spoken with the Gorgon but do not think to school me in the teachings of my own primarch!" Salamander: "Perhaps I must if the lesson was not learned properly," Ari'i snapped back. "What you say, the flesh is weak, is only part of the saying. In forgetting the end you have lost the meaning. Vulkan said it in praise of Ferrus Manus, after the One Hundred and Eighty-Fourth Expedition when our Legions jointly liberated the ork-dominated worlds of the Shoxua Cluster. The fighting had been fiercer than anything we had expected. Your primarch said in jest that his arm was tired from killing so many orks, and Vulkan retorted with "the flesh is weak, but deeds endure". It was a celebration of what they had achieved, and a remark that even primarchs can die but what they do will last beyond their lifespan. It was a message of humility, not condemnation. Flesh is weak because it knows it must come to an end, and so we must rise above the concerns of flesh and leave a legacy that others will be proud to inherit. Ferrus Manus understood that. He was a harsh master, an unforgiving ally, but he was also a maker of things - a builder, not a destroyer. I find it strange how this conversation wasn’t passed down or even known through the history of the Iron Hands chapter. If Ferrus came back he’d be ashamed of his sons.

You saw his interaction with Sanguinuis. He and his legion are underwritten for sure. But I think his story hasn't ended. He came back in The end and the death. We got that whole thing about primarch souls. His skull was retrieved by dorn. And we got Demon Fulgim in the horizon. He could come back one more time as a legion of the damnd primarch. Or maybe figure out his true name and summon him. Like what happened with demon primarchs and the current story of the yellow King.

He didn't seem to like Perturabo very much, despite their similarities. In one of Perturabo's books, (I forget which one, either Hammer of Olympia or Angel Exterminatus,) it is mentioned that Perturabo, trying to understand his ability to see the eye of terror, reached out to Ferrus to ask if his silver eyes granted any similar visions, and if so, any insight. Ferrus was stated to have told Perturabo to leave with an expression of disgust.
@GearShotgunАй бұрын
It never occurred to me but Ferrus death is actually eerily similar to what would become of the Emperor. Ferrus saw how his teachings were causing his sons to abandon their Humanity and swore he would rectify it, only to end up dead before he could, leaving his sons to continue doing the exact opposite of what he wanted. Big E planned to teach Humanity to control their psychic gifts, but had to outlaw their use in the short term, and ended up stuck on the Golden Throne before he could achieve that plan, leaving the Imperium to persecute and kill the very psykers that he saw as the next step in Human evolution.

As someone else said, the iron hands pursue perfection at any cost, but i want to take that further. They are two sides of the same coin. The question they both asked was "what does our humanity say about perfection and our attainment of it?" The emperors children believed going deeper into their humanity would bring them closer to perfection, diving into and refining human culture. The iron hands believed their humanity was the source of their weakness, and sought to remove it, refine their bodies to become perfectly un-human. Both were wrong, and both suffer for it. The emperors children fell into the worst parts of humanity, while the iron hands removed the best parts of themselves. Both followed the same goal, both failed in different ways.

It's also a really beautiful, but sad, symbolism that Ferrus genuinely loved Fulgrim (multiple instances where he's ready to rip someone's head off and just forcibly thinks about Fulgrim to help calm himself down lol) and that that betrayal from the inside was not something he could defend himself against, the weakness of the heart even though that was also his strength. Like you said, he was starting to see what was *wrong* but he didn't do anything about it in time, which while incorrectly quoted for him, he WAS there, "the flesh is weak, only deeds endure." His deeds endure, it's just too bad they're the ones that he wanted to change. Another symbolism there for the Legion only ever being able to be at half strength because their true strength, his true strength, was his humanity....something his sons will never have because of seeing only half the picture. But that's also maybe giving GW too much credit 😂

The Iron Hands are and Ferrus are my Favourite chapter and Primarch since i got properly into 40k late last year. I love Cyborgs at first i loved them for that, then as i discovered lore about them, I loved them for the wild potential there is to take their story in all sorts of crazy ways. Like the IH werent at Cadia because Medusa was also under seige during the 13th as it's also right next to the Eye. And that we are supposedly in the Pariah Nexus right now, helping the admech. I hope that sometime soon, GW realizes the innate potential of the Iron Hands and starts to flesh them out further. Elaborating on The Keys of Hel would be amazing, especially bringing Revenants into the current setting would be awesome. (The Iron Hands could totally be a Divergent chapter on the tabletop, if GW just looked at all the shit they set up in the lore.)

_Most_ of the “founding chapters” could be codex divergent if GW bothered to look at them. Salamanders and Imperial Fists come to mind… like, even if they’re not _too_ far off the codex you could still give them at least one unique unit, like Primaris versions of Breachers or Pyroclasts. Scars and Raven Guard are harder to define though. You already have Primaris bikes, and Vanguard vets are pretty RG.

@LordCrate-du8zm honestly that's fair. I think that all the Codex chapters should get a unit though, that's for sure. Like even if they want to just make it an upgrade sprue to a normal kit that gives Codex chapters a unique data sheet I'd be happy with it.

Hello Mr. Authur Bones, I've watched your content from the start of your channel and always enjoyed them and your hard work. Your chapters series, Primarch deep dive and your other materials. if you read this, thank you, if you dont't: It is fine. This will not the as short as your other comments, but a small idea/aspect of the Sire of the 12th - Angron. You probably have a idea and resource prepared for him and I do not propose a better solution or replacement for your hard work, just a thing some might have noticed that is blurred by his bezerker nature. The World Eaters are my favorite legion, which you will probably see in this comment. Your Primarch deep dive have been my favorite as you present each of them in a light, seldomly seen by the masses of people. Intrinsic, complex beings, as they are. It also hits deeper to hear an Intellectual perceptive on something some of us hold dear to heart and enjoy it. It is nice to have more valid and particular reasons for those characters to hold a special places and live rent free in our heads. Henceforth: Angron in all his rage, blind fury, reckless abandonment, a broken and sad man whom lingers for justice. A story of how prolonged pain changes a man, no matter how good or rightous. I just propose 3 side that might require a deeper insight or you have already sought to review those jagged teeth of character what is Angron. Those are: I)."Pain" - The Butcher Nail rob anybody from their emotions and mutilates your character, replacing any enjoyment from anything that is not primal rage, violence and bloodshed of other. Placing a judge whom punishes your for lack of violence and blood. As we know, Angron was originally an Empath, a man who took and helped with others pain. When the Nails were implanted, it has taken away the gladiator of Courage and Honour into a butcher, a blood hungry blade, that never is satisfied. That never ending pain does not even subside, as in "Betrayer" (I believe, cannot remember now) his Nails did not reward him akin to his sons duo to his Primarch biology, hence even robbing his a moment of respite that he earned with the skulls of countless. That mutilation, that pain changes a man, as he combats an enemy, a cancer that kills your morals and values. Since, his character can be summed up as "Rage personified" the pain fuels his rage and hence, fuels the nails, it is a give and loss relationship. When experience with such pain, one might ask "Why", "Why me, what have i done to deserve this", twisting ones perspective to exact vengeance or pain onto others to calm ones internal struggle. Konrad Curze is a more broken man the Angry Ron, but he does not have the pain of the past. It's like with love: Is it better to taste da love of a partner and the lose it, yearn for it back or to never expirence it and hunger for the better times. For me loss and memories of lost love/peace and Angron Pre-Nails live hurt more, as he lingers f it to be gone, as he knows how it is without them Those questions leads to my next point. II)."Rage against injustice" - When Angron refused to kill O, his adoptive and "true" father, the Nails were implanted. He did deserve punishment in terms of disobeying the authority, but the severity of the punishment was WAY too high, by our modern standards. Hence we can say he did not deserve it, he would also agree to us. hence the innate rage and distain for the High Riders of Nicerria. Then after the revolt, Big - E shows up and takes him away, against his will, then even later on the "Night Of the Wolf" occurs, duel with Robute Guiliman with his speech which exemplars Angrons character (my favorite quote tbh) and finally his apotheosis. All of those example unfair (in his eyes) actions taken against him, denying his right to execute his will, be it right or wrong decisions. We all experience primal and honest anger and ire when falsely accused, lied to or being denied something true and correct. As we know the truth in those type of situation, this fire/fury burns within us as it is the nature of the truth and rage. Those co - inside when moment arises to. Angron is a man of truth, wanting to fight the High raiders and lay low any and all tyrants, all he wanted was the truth and honesty, found only in combat. The constant thought of denied dead, unjust rescue from Big - E, it fuel him with righteous fury to push forward. Recklessly, but forward nonetheless. Those experiences do not allow him to stagnate in the action, but might in his mind. Regarding recklessness, next point. III)."Distain for one self" - "Betrayer" present a great insight into the 12th legion life and Angron as a character. His gladiatorial tradition and habits linger and plant their roots into the World Eaters legionaries in the pit, weapons attendance and fighting doctrines. Beginning with the pits: duels to the 1st,2nd,3rd blood or to dead "Sanguis Extremis". Self mutilation and willingness to kill those oppose to your view point. Now weapons, a blade broken is unfit and unworthy of further use, duo to stress of war and combat, henceforth - discard it. A weapon is both a tool and an extension of ones self, both tangibly and mentally. Throwing away a broken axe or blade is like throwing away a part of oneself, failed, weak but one able to change, fix. Further more, the custom of chaining the blades and chainaxes (my favorite weapon in the setting, by god its metal) for the user not to be disarmed. it holds the broken part of yourself together to you, there but willing to be fixed and remade anew. Now for the fighting stance, we all know how they fight - relentless, brutally, bloody, ferocious and with lack of self preservation. The last part is noticeable during all of their battles since Angron was reunited with the legion. Siege of Terra, Shadow Crusade of the 500 worlds, the planet were the Nails were first implemented and many more in the 41 Mil, even on the tabletop this is true. regarding the gladiatorialaspectsof the 12th, Kharn is one exemplar of them, both a participant and the exception. reused and fixed Angron Gorechild,had a noticeable distain for the pits and he even says the following in "Betrayer" (I'm going by memory, hence i might mess up the quote): "A warrior who fights to survive has no weapons against the warrior who cares not to live". this is how he described himself and his brother against a skirmish for of Ultramarines. And Angron the prime example. he simply wants to die, a fate he wan ted, deserved and yearns for up until the modern setting. Charging headfirst into every fight, charging alone in hordes of enemies, shoulder pressing a titans foot, nearly digging himself into the planets core. In "Betrayer" him and other complain and talk about his fatalistic behaviours, Lorgar worries for him. He simply wants to end it all, but will still fight until dead takes him. He is like a coworker who hates his job, that he is one bad day away for pulling a Night Lords special on the rest of the team, however he is ungodly good at his job. Carrying it on as I realized that in all of that bloodshed, distain for himself and everybody around, there is still a strong semblance of honor in his brutality, henceforth IV)."Honor through brutality" - As we know, Angron was raised as a gladiator, fought and lived as one till the bitter end of apotheosis. It instilled in him a sense of Honor, morals, rules and tradition as to not lose oneself in the endless battle that is life and pitfights. Even after mutilation of his mind, those values still resided, although twisted in practice. The "War Hounds" fought with brutality and honor in the pits, punishing those prideful and dirty tacticians in the pits, it was also used as a sort of punishment and "rehabilitation", as with Delvarus of the Triarii. Even there enemies noted in the sea of butchers that there is a heavy presence of martial prowess and skill, which has been degrading and losing its presence in the 41th Millenium. Onto Angron himself: he always fought head on and to the fullest, man to man, no outwitting your enemy, just head on. This can be interpretated as respecting his opponent, hence giving him his all and fighting to death. This is fully shown when Loyal World Eaters survived on the initial bombardment on Istvaan 5 - Angron personally killed all of his loyal sons. Giving them a honor of 1 vs. 1, even complimenting one son who cut at his neck. it is a twisted version of honor, but being the speartip that pierces the enemy and kills the rest in honest confortation is him sticking to his morals and values as a warrior, a gladiator before a Butcher. Concluding this monster of a tale, which I could have made longer if I did videos like you or prepared and full script as a part of my work, this is a shorter version of my views on Angron. I simply wanted to express something of mine and other might appreciated and ponder upon. You most likely have an idea for him, and what I cover was a deeper dive into his charactersitcs, but he wears what he is on his sleeve, he knows what he is and does not hide it. I hope this finds you well, use it or not - you decide. I hope i manage to express my point, if not; closely so to fill in the gaps. Nontheless, the most handsome servoskull of a man, have a great day and good luck with your work and keep up the great work. I'll await new material from you and take care man.

He is stern, but he recognizes the limitations of those under his command (unlike Perturabo). In his primarch book "Ferrus Manus: Gorgon of Medusa" he is seen observing an imperial officer dozing off and laughs (the officer saved a regiment under his command recently): "'And what of the Army?' This Ferrus addressed to the mortal officer standing at Cicerus' back. He was garbed in a tan-coloured dress uniform that had been misbuttoned, as if pulled on in haste. Over his stony-grey crew cut was a peaked cap with a regimental crest in silver. His padded shoulders were sewn with badges of the 413th Expedition, of Terra, the Jovian satellite Ganymede, and of Ultramar, the rank insignia of a lieutenant colonel in the Imperial Army, and the red helix of the medicae corps. Ferrus frowned. The soldier stood loosely to attention, hands resting atop one another over the silver-crested head of an officer's cane, face turned down in what Ferrus had taken for awe at his present company. DuCaine emitted a bark of laughter and only then did Ferrus realise that the man's eyes were closed, light snores rippling his lips. In a crunch of mail, Ferrus relaxed back into his throne and chuckled."

For þe longest time I was never particularly interested in Ferrus Manus, just because as far as legions go þe Iron Hands is decidedly one of þe most neglected as far as þe spotlight goes, but when i actually sat down and read what lore þeir is about hime it quickly made him one of my favorite primarchs, and ive often found myself wondering what a Iron Hands sucsessor þat wmbrace þeir humanity and þe lessons of þeir primarch would look like

I always really liked that ferris and fulgrim were friends because of how similar they were. They were both born with this need for improvement and eventually that defined them as people. They couldn't handle the horrible dysmorphia of not being perfect and tried to get as close as possible and that eventually fucked them both They both treated perfection like an addiction, fulgrims need to improve the body and mind were more like uppers, and the iron hands tried to cut out weakness and feel less. The only reason they didn't fall to slanesh as well is because they viewed any emotion as a weakness while the emperors children viewed them as a strength. Both are terrible in the opposite ways and now they're all bitter and hollow, terrified to admit any fault in any way
@doomguy9049Ай бұрын
Prior to Fulgrim's possession neither he nor Manus really did any work to modify or "improve" themselves AFAIK so I wouldn't exactly call it dysmorphia, though each of their respective their sons definitely developed something like it after the heresy.

FM is the Worf of the setting. He is presented as the super tough scary guy that immediately gets knocked out at the start of the heresy in order to set up the stakes of the setting.

Video Idea: Besides the Mechanicus, how technologically advanced is the rest of the Imperium? Considering many worlds are extremely remote, and the reach of the Mechanicus' doctrine is far from universal, "tech heresy" wouldn't be a belief on every planet. In addition to that, the average Imperial citizen seems very normal and pragmatic in the setting, meaning they would also be pragmatic about tech. Are there "home grown" spacecraft without Mechanicus aid? Primitive Space Marines made out of desperation from a cut off world? In my opinion, the most interesting parts about 40k aren't the crazy beliefs in the Imperium, but how normal people would have to navigate them in order to maintain a shred of efficiency and living standards.
@Spoon80085Ай бұрын
Another idea could be the other planets of the Solar System, especially Saturn, and how their special role in the early Empire's ascension plays into their contemporary rights. Are they given special privilege

Manus is my top primarch. Reading his primarch novel changed my perception of the legion and his leadership. I believe that Ferrus suffered from toxic competitiveness, and fear of perceived failure. Something I can relate to on a very personal level. His leadership style meant that he passed that on to his legion, and because they viewed his death as a weakness, and failure on his part, they broke.

I for one adore Ferrus Manus. It’s a real shame he was killed off so early because his character development on track to be one of the most interesting of the loyalist by far. However, the potential can still be lived up to if GW gave the slightest care to the Iron Hands. Their leadership form of having a council, the inner struggle of each member, and just how brutal they are in combat can make for some incredible story telling.
@sanguinius_ytАй бұрын
Ferrus was a top 6 general and commander. Had so much potential, that’s what’s sad about his loss. All the primarchs thought very highly of him. There’s a reason he’s featured in Angel Exterminatus, it’s to show his similarities to perturabo like you mentioned

Hell yeah! My favorite Primarch mentioned! The is also a thing about Iron hands where they ALSO blame Ferrus somewhat. One of the core tennets or pragmatism is to keep a cool head and be calm at all times, a thing the Ferrus didn't do when he went ahead of himself and charge head-first into a trap. I also would love to see what OG Primaris IH thibk about 40k IH. Do marines who lived in times of Ferrus think legion is heading into its logical evolution or they reminded 40k IH just how much went over their heads?
@Mastro-FornoАй бұрын
i belive the whole "the flesh is weak" should be dropped by GW and give more focus to the Revenant, giving the implication that the IH never really recover from the dropsite massacre and most of the chapter are in fact Revenant; this will change the IH from Admech simps to a more dramatic take as the replacing of the flesh is the IH preparing themself to undergo the Cibernetic resurrection

While it was an amazing tool for the storyline for the horus heresy, and I think having a primarch die that quickly was a good idea... it is an absolute tragedy that it ended up being ferrus manus... he is so unique and interesting and if you read from his perspective he ended up being very introspective and capable of self reflection. And his whole character was just totally different from the others. I just wish we had more lore on him

Another thing, Ferrus Manus hated technology. Ironically he viewed it as a crutch that could never match what flesh and effort could achieve. Ironically, he was the symbol of the strength and fortitude of humanity. Not the symbol of the strength of humans.

Failure is a hallmark of the Iron Hands in that they are willing to look earnestly at themselves and seek to remedy their imperfections. It is what makes them as powerful as they are. They loved the Emperor's Children and waged several campaigns and joint exercises with them. The tragedy is not simply the death of their Primarch, but the tragedy of betrayal by those who were their closest of kin. It's closer to a story of divorce than one of mere psychological insecurity. Fulgrim had knocked Ferrus Manus unconscious and slain his honor guard after failing to convince Ferrus to join Horus' cause. The closest literary comparison would be the relationship between Griffith and Guts in Berserk. The artistic similarities are striking, as well.
@OneReallyGrumpyJillАй бұрын
Ferrus is a great example of how insecurities within oneself can be passed down to your children, even if that was not your intent, and how to love oneself is to embrace one's weakness, not to resent it. It is about a child finding the strength to overcome the trauma that their father have, while not knowing that this is what their father would want in the first place.

When you said he will always fall short no matter what, that reminded me of Red Vs Blue. Agent Texas, was an AI fragment based off the late lover of Church, Allison. All his memories of her, end with her leaving for the military, and never coming back. So no matter what she did, no matter how great both her and the fragment were, they always fell short in the end.

One thing i will note about the Iron Hands blaming the Salamanders and Raven Guard, they also blame their own Veteran Company, the Avernii, who fought and died on Istvaan V and failed to save their Primarch. As well, the 40k Iron Hands are no longer descending into cold calculating cruelty, as they've been redirected by a new leader Kardan Stronos into more human entities (depending on Clan Company)

Ferrus's self-doubt was his most interesting quality. He genuinely believed that he was weak when compared to many of his brothers. Guilliman and Horus in particular were sore spots for him, as they both were way better at achieving compliances than he was. But over time, he began to essentially adopt the mindset that it was more important to be the best Ferrus that he could be, rather than being the best Primarch.
