YES! YES! YES! FINALLY

Huron is like that guy in a company who checks every qualification for a promotion but never gets it cuz the boss’s son works there too

*_"NO, I REFUSED TO PAY TITHE! I AM HURON BLACKHEART! I AM THE TYRANT OF BADAB! WARDEN OF THE MAELSTROM! THEY PRONOUNCE MY NAME WRONG ALL THE TIME!"_* _~ Lufgt Huron Blackheart_

A Warmaster fell before it can happen again. - Huron Blackheart Master of the Maelstrom

Supposedly, had Huron been given the resources he requested, the Malestrom actually could have been purged due its smaller size. The irony.

The Chapter who had every right to turn against the Imperium. And the most worthy Chaos Astartes to ascend to Warmaster.

If I recall, the "seperatists" largely didn't even realize they were fighting against the Imperium, just Imperial forces, which is a bizarrely common issue.

Those who once aspired to eclipse the glory of the space marine legions of old, turned paragons of the Imperium's corruption and ignorance.

I like to think that Huron is the OG warmaster, considering the Badab war was the first template for space marines, even before the Horus Heresy was fully realized.

I don’t care who the imperium sends I am not paying taxes.

“Would” count: 84 Interesting! I get the impression that Huron Blackheart could never really make up his mind about his preferred style of legion command and governance. He kicks off by recognising that you can’t operate a colossal and terrifying army without superb logistics, manufacturing, economy, prosperity, all that good stuff, so he loudly emulates the current champion of these things, Ultramar, and perhaps styles himself as a second Guilliman. Then the Badab War kicks off. I might have missed the exact point Huron’s lads fall to Chaos, but was it after the war started? They kick off as regular ol’ Renegade forces but not Chaos-aligned, so they can still call in favours from brother Astartes chapters. Then they fall, and then they get Chaos-tainted, and now you’ve got anarchic, clumsy Chaos warbands attempting to operate Huron’s already-built colossal logistics chains and ginormous armaments stockpiles. Vastly more powerful and dangerous. Geez, no wonder they had so many problems with hubris. I wouldn’t be surprised if Huron had in some ways become a prisoner of his own Red Corsairs legion. You get this a lot in various protest movements and subcultures. Happened last year in my country, New Zealand, with a protest over vaccine mandates. A charismatic and/or skillful founder might champion a fringe political cause like this with unusual passion, and win the admiration of much of mainstream culture. But this attracts nutjobs. The anti-vaccine protest outside NZ’s parliament buildings started as an organised event over a single day, managed with skill. This attracted a few thousand antivaxxer lunatics, who turned the single protest into three hundred feuding micro-protests, with zero leadership or organisation. They trashed the place. Much of central Wellington got blocked off and shut down. One day became three weeks. I went jogging through it at one point, just from morbid fascination. It was like being inside every conspiracy theory. I’ve sever seen so much paranoia or so many signs. After three weeks of mayhem and damage, the police formed a massive cordon line around the entire thing, let anyone exit but no-one enter, then finally strangled the protest over the next day. Similar phenomenon here? I’d imagine that if someone like Huron had been mustering Legion-strength forces for decades, and an army that mighty then joined Chaos, then this would attract old-style, anarchic Chaos cultists and warbands to it like rotting moths to a flame. Enough of them could well overwhelm Huron’s original culture and intentions, but him attempting to put them in their place would be seen by all as an attack on the ways of Chaos itself, the Red Corsairs would shatter and disband, and Huron loses even that power. He has no choice but to grit his teeth and let their unearned hubris tarnish his magnificent war economy. Though who knows. I just speculated the whole lot. But it’s an interesting line of thought, right?

Probably the only chapter that was justified in its treason, Imperium was just as guilty for the fall of Astral Claws as the chapter itself.

Just because they didn't want to pay their taxes

‘We live and die for Huron Blackheart!’ shouted Garreon. As the gathered officers of the Red Corsairs raised their fists and shouted ‘Aye!’, Captain Rotaka shouted as loud as any of them. For Huron Blackheart they lived, and for Huron Blackheart they waited. The lord of the Red Corsairs had gathered his commanders for one last feast before the invasion, to remind them of who they served, and the depth of his wrath should they fail him... The Red Corsairs did not rest on the high ceremony beloved of the hated Imperium and the bloodless loyalists who retained faith in their damnable Corpse-Emperor. Instead there was simply service and reward: they gave unquestioning service to their master, and in return he rewarded them with a share of the spoils, as he saw fit...' '...The Red Corsairs are a warband: the strong core of it is made up of renegade Space Marines, both from the old Astral Claws and those of other Chapters who have traded their former colours in for Huron’s, but great numbers of mortal warriors have also flocked to his banner over the decades. Huron welcomes all those who will fight in his name; or at least those who do so well...' 'Huron Blackheart is a wreck of a being, held together by spite and sorcery and mechanical ingenuity, and his movements no longer hold the same speed that they once did, but that does not mean he is any less deadly in combat. For all that his weapons are hardly precision tools, his strikes are placed with the care of centuries of experience, his steps are guided by the swirling awareness of the warp, and his strength is as ferocious as it ever was...' '...Once, Lugft Huron was the Chapter Master of the Astral Claws. Once, he was a towering Space Marine warrior, the galaxy’s image of nobility and righteousness: at least, to those parts of the galaxy that cowered behind the shield his warriors made from their bodies, and their guns, and their will. Once, Huron believed in the Imperium, and in the Emperor, and in his Chapter’s duties: at least in his own way. But in the Imperium there is little tolerance for any way other than that which the Imperium itself dictates. The tool that does not completely fit its role is eliminated; and if, like Lugft Huron, the tool is too tough and too stubborn to be properly eliminated, it is cast out. The problem with that, of course, is that those who are cast out can come back. And when they do, their bodies and their guns and their will are no longer a shield, but a sword aimed for the heart...'

Would love to see a War for the title of Warmaster between Huron Blackheart and Abaddon, the despoiler.

It is also interesting that the Red Corsairs have marines of the Space Wolves in their warband. There is a short story about this. Great video btw

Legends do not pay taxes!

I'm planning to kitbash a fallen Lamenter "Legionary" Kill Team soon, including a gunner and heavy gunner which split from the chapter after the Badab War, so those two will get Red Corsair flavored color schemes.

I thought the astral claws were justified into withholding the tithe From what I heard, they had the opportunity to take the maelstrom for the Emperor but the high lords would not aid them with reinforcements. So they took matters into there own hands. No having fallen to chaos, they take revenge on the imperium for what could have been

They dragged the Lamentors down. For this, they deserve everything coming to them.

I am still praying that after Horus heresy officially ends (i'm sure they'll do more side books) they will FINALLY do a series on badab.

And they have the absolute best battle cry of all the factions in the setting: EVERY. SWEARWORD. EVER. At full volume over the enemy vox.

'Master of the Maelstrom' was such a good listen (highly recommend the audiobook, the narrator is Raphael from Baldur's Gate 3). It does an excellent job of showing Huron's intelligence, political savvy and fierce independence.

My only complaint of the Red Corsairs, is the fact that they are nearly at legion strength, if not already there. This is tens of thousands of space marines, if not a hundred thousand or more. How did they reach that strength in a mere 70 years or so? The Badab War was fought between 901.M41 and 913.M41, and they were at legion strength in 999.M41. Everything else I love about them, just the numbers dont add up, even more than usual. If the warband were a millennia or two old, I could see it, but 70 years? BS Great video though, thank you for doing one of my favorite warbands!

The Red Corsairs are a ugly reminder that even the most noblest and pure space marines chapters Can fall from grace even after the horrors of Horus Heresy, and what even worse is that they are growing in power and strength which is notice by the Warmaster of Chaos Abbadon.

Would love to see an all out war between Huron and Abaddon.

I've been looking forward to this transmission, brother Remembrancer! 😀It was beautifully presented ❤️Well done once again. 🙏

I bet they have some nice relics.

The Imperium brought the Red Corsairs on themselves. Huron asked many many times for help or genestock and was willingly ignored.

Red Corsairs are an example of what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immoveable object

I love you man. you covered my favorite Chaos Warband. and people don't know who the daddy of the Tyrant. would be a hoot if it's Rob

My boy Huron needs to kick Abaddon's ass with a quickness! The Lore needs a shake-up & Chaos needs a new warmaster and Blackhearts the one to do BOTH , AND BE A BLOODY SAVAGE WHILE DOING IT!!!

imagine being caught between the minotaurs and the Sharks.

Very nice storytelling! The Badab war was pretty sweet and I like learning more about it, especially bc it had a ton of diverse chapters. Great job!

Such a great storyline. Thanks be to the Big E. Brother Remembrancer , once again your elucidations do justice to 40k

"THIS WAR WILL NEVER END"!!!! - RANDOM MANTIS WARRIOR THE MINOTAURS AND CARCHARODONS SHOW UP.... AND THEY ALL LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Finally I have been waiting a long time for this !!!!!!

As someone who is just getting into 40k I thought the Red Corsairs were just edgier World Eaters, but you've completely enlightened me Thank you so very much, brother Remembrancer!

Suck it, Huron! -Member of the VIII Legion

Red Corsairs, one of two groups of Chad Marines. Second are Lamenters.

just love how the imperium couldve let badab keep their resources and gain a damn powerfull ally instead they got the biggest threat beside black legion. huron is a surprisingly cunning leader who dislikes wasting forces and refuses to suck up to the chaos gods

I think I’m going to do a Red Corsair army but like Deathwatch - lots of chapters coming together

Huron Blackheart the true warmaster of chaos

Awesome I love Huron black heart .

I’m going to put together Red Corsairs in TT but going to do them like heretic Deathwatch: lots of renegades from various chapters

WOO HOO! i've been waiting for this one!

Simply Beautiful! :D

ALL HAIL HURON BLACKHEART!!! MASTER OF THE MAELSTROM!!!

Dope Video, Friend

Huron Blackheart the lord of the red corsairs

Huron was a hero, his brilliance was led to corruption by the imperium.

Yes! Finally! I love the red corsairs but there isnt enough about them. I did sculpt a mini of their champion from the indomitus book if you would like to take a look? Great vid!

Please make video of Mephiston, I BEG YOU 😂

I would actually love a game or a mod for an existing game that starts out like the red corsairs, from one ship and a captured pirate outpost to its own empire in the maelstrom. Maybe someone could make a mod for rogue trader

Gotta love the Red Corsair’s.

I love the Corsairs!

Can ypu do a video about the thinder warriors pls

...That's what happens when the Imperium doesn't support its defenders.

Can we all agree that Huron would probably be a better warmaster than Abaddon?

They are such an underrated threat to the Imperium.

Nice

I built an army around Huron. Badass lore (which isn't uncommon in the 40k universe) and plays well on tabletop. May not seem like much at first glance but d3 infiltration is op, I would infiltrate a unit of terminators equiped with chain fists and take their land raider with them 😇

"I don't care who the Administratum sends, I am not paying taxes!" -Luft Huron

Letting Bobby G escape? Weak. I still like the guy, Abadon gave him a black stone fortress so he does have street cred in the maelstrom.

I would be a Retaliator we're going to get in close and have some fun lol

I mean... if ya gotta be a bad guy, be a badass bad guy! 😂

Huron Blackheart: "I don't care who the Imperium sends, i am not paying taxes"

Absolutely out of context here,but I always wondered. How do Chaos Space Marines compete with new generation of Primaris Loyalists? Arent Primaris supposed to wipe floor with "older models"? Is it the Chaos buff,combat experience due to CSM being around for a long time etc.?

Huron for warmaster

DEATH TO THE FALSE WARMASTER ALL HAIL THE TRUE WARMASTER ALL HAIL BLACKHEART🖤

So I’m curious, is there a channel that does something like this but from the chaos perspective?? I love the work The Remembrancer does, but well you know… death to the false emperor..

The strong are strongest alone.

I firmly believe them to be Ultramarines Successors simply because i need Ultramarines to be humbled a bit in how great they think they are.

The badab war is my single favourite part of lore in 40k and Huron did nothing wrong 🫡

The Corsairs are justified just as much as the Word Bearers.

Is this a video on how you should pay your taxes?

A better warmaster than Abbadon

Who tf thought succession from the imperium would go well?

This is one of those armies that take work to look good. Just painting out of the box csm red will never match what they are.

Huhuh. Why do they hate the Emperor.

oh hey it's better Black Legion

Gw when making abaddon: he is evil and bad and bad dar bad villain who failed so bad we had to retcon him to be competent Gw when making huron: A comlex and logical fall from grace supported by the failure of the imperium

Huron did nothing wrong 🤷‍♂️

They did nothing wrong.

Was not their fault tbh

PLEASE REMOVE BACKGROUND MUSIC FOR SLEEP PLEASE 😴

Awesome

Blackheart should be war master .
