Thanks dude, that was one of the biggest holes covered for me. I'm at the end of Path To Heaven and about to pick up Silent War, always thought Sol and Rylanor story never ended.

Rylanor: Hey, Fulgrim! Fulgrim: What? Rylanor: *Shows unexploded Virus Bomb* Tell Horus, he missed!

“I reject you now and always!” Ancient Rylanor Ferrus Manus spirit in the warp “my man!”

So he went down giving the finger to his dad and enabling three thousand sons to find salvation? Worth it in my books.

A Loyalist that was so loyal and inspirational that he inspired a group of *traitor* sorcerers to allow the detonation of a virus bomb and their own deaths to harm fulgrim

Rylanor deserves better then you oh primarch rylanor deserves better then any of us.

Even as a dreadnought, he was twice the man Fulgrim ever was.

Perhaps the Thousand Sons saw themselves in Rylanor, where they had been forced into corruption so to was Rylanor. But perhaps his resistance reminded them of their former selves and inspired them to commit to his plan.

This is a really satisfying death especially considering that even when his planned failed, he managed to defeat Fulgrim.

"Never! All we have left between us is that we will die here together! I am Rylanor of the Emperor's Children, Ancient of Rites, Venerable of the Palatine Host, and proud servant of the Emperor of Mankind, beloved by all! I reject you! Now and always!"

Hail the Ancient, the Emperor’s true child! *sobs wildly*

Press F for respects to Rylanor, most badass Emperor’s Children to have ever existed. Loyal to the very end.

Loyal until death, rest now brother you have earned it.

Rylanor is truly an inspiration for all space marines.

An honorable death, a loyal servant. May the Emperor protect his soul.

"You're not my real dad!" -Rylanor

May the galaxy weep evermore for the venerable Rylanor for his kind are no more.

Rylanor- “A Duty, Honorably, Discharged.”

Rylanor, one of the only remaining Loyal Emperor's Children to have ever remained, he truly is an hero to the Imperium.

I know the joke of WH 40k is that the universe is full of secret and mysteries buuuuut hey it feels nice to have closure on some of those mysteries :D

One like = one prayer for the soul of Rylanor One share = one defiance of the ruinous powers

I’m here because StringStorm just made a song about his Last Stand.

He was a badass and went out like a bos.

omg. Rylanor is such a badass. he went down like a warrior. like a hero. he defied his own primarch to the end. great story.

That's ... actually tragic ...

The Emperor better have given Rylanor a big ol hug for that badassery

"I am one of the Emperor's Children, I am Rylanor the Ancient of Rites"

I love the vocoder voice given to the dreadnought, gives me chills.

By the Throne 30k Dreadnaughts look amazing. Even more with the III Legion paint scheme. I'm glad he was a Loyalist.

I gotta admit thats a really kickass death

Shame fulgrim didn't show up until after becoming a demon, because that plan may actually have worked on a 'regular' primarch.

Who else is here after seeing StringStorm's new song?

Demon or not a virus bomb exsplodion is going to leave a mark

To inspire his own men in battle is one thing. To bestow such righteous fervor in the sorcerers of a traitor legion... This scene brought tears to my eyes. Eternal glory to such heroes!

Wow never thought I would say this about an emperor's children but hell that's one hero of the empire.

So manly. They really should start selling Legion of Damned version of heresy heroes. Like can you imagine Rylanor showing as marine (Not dreadnought) in front of Fulgrim leading a Company of Legion and Fulgrim having meltdown about it.

All glory to Rylanor! True child of the Emperor!

Hmm, I think that it was a fitting end. Waiting for a time for his father to come. Rylanor, one of the oldest members of the legion will stay loyal even after thousands of years just waiting for his time. What a way to go down.

Rylanor's final words... "Never! All we have left between us is that we will die together! I am Rylanor of the Emperor's Children. Ancient of Rites, Venerable of the Palatine Host, and proud servant of the Emperor of Mankind, beloved by all. I reject you now and always!" ...in addition to being a SPECTACULAR raised middle finger to that prideful little shit, Fulgrim, remind me of this line from The Wrath of Khan... "I've done far worse than kill you: *I've hurt you*...and I wish to go on hurting you. I shall leave you as you left me, as you left *her*: marooned for all eternity in the center of a dead planet, buried alive."

Rylanor, inspirational man to have as your friend.

came back 7 months later...still gives me chills, shame none in the imperium will ever know the truth of his story... I can think of at least one whole planet who would immediately make this guy a saint *cough Krieg cough cough*

Imagine the horror Rylanor had to see in his final moments. After millenias he witnessed corrupt sons of Magnus now true witches and warlocks to see the fall of the adeptus legionies. And then Fulgrim's corrupt soul. Imagine seeing your friend and master. Beloved leader turned to such a filthy being. Rylanor, you were the true child son of the Emperor.

9:32 is the greatest speech i had ever heard of all time

We all know what happened Rylanor dropped a diss track on Fulgrim

Hats off to Rylanor, man this guy was something truly special- he even defied his own primearch for the glory of the emperor of mankind... nothing short of charismatic this guy. Its sad to hear that his tale had to end then and there, I would have loved to hear more of him in active service- perhaps even a place in the Deathwatch so that he may serve beside his loyalist brothers again despite being a member of a Traitor deemed legion.

Sometimes you only win by saying "NO" and standing by it.

Anyone else replay the quote over and over again? Chills... So glad to finally learn what happened to him

"Even in death, there are those that serve with honour."

It is said, imperial scholars attempted to build a statue in memorium to Rylanor, but kept scrapping it because they couldn't get the gravitational pull of the brass balls on him correct.

Rynalor Deserves better than you O' Primarch! Rynalor Deserves better than all of us!

Damn, chills over that ending. Rylanor, we salute you.

Fulgrim: "Say whatever speech you have prepared, Rylanor" Rylanor: "1. Get bent. 2. I have a virus bomb" Some rando Thousand Son: "woah based"

Good Lord, what an absolute unit.

Loyal beyond the point of death.

Man, with balls that big, Rylanor should have been a War Titan :D

Fulgrim: you had millennia to perfect your speech... Rylanor: you fool, you fell for one of the classic blunders Reveals virus bomb.

Rylanor now eats with other heroes at the Emperor's table and forever tells the tale of the dumb look on Fulgrim's face

The Rylanor story should be proof that not everything has to be a mystery. A full and complete story can be so much more satisfying. I cant think of a single person who thinks that Rylanor's story isn't perfect.

Rylanor might not have killed Fulgrim but he left a wound that was far worse he irreparably damaged the Primarchs Pride and for Fulgrim thats a fate worse then death.

Disregarding a true horror Ancient Rylanor saw upon facing his fate, his Primarch now a demon prince of ruinous powers, Thousand Sons being pushed into clutches of Tzeentch, he himself being torn out of his Dreadnought armour and mutated by Fulgrim, the venerable Astartes never lost his firm grip on what was the most important in his entire life: sense of duty, pride of being who he was, utter and unshakable determination in his service, defiance against and rejection of what was opposing his principles.. A beautiful ending to his story, both saddening, because such a character had to meet his end, and fascinatingly inspirational due to display of how the willpower of basically defenceless and crippled warrior turned out to be stronger than brute force of his opponent. Remleiz and 40K Theories' crew, I wanted to thank you all for the effort of bringing Rylanor's story to broad audience. Well done!

RYLANOR DESERVES BETTER THAN YOU, OH PRIMARCH! RYLANOR DESERVES BETTER THAN ALL OF US!

What if the Emperor was like "damn son that's a true loyal man" and made rylanor a legion of the damed just to spite fulgrim?

Only in Death does Duty end

Hail Rylanor! Emperor's Children! Death to His foes! Bravery and loyalty without end.

It was left out here, but I think its worth mentioning that not all of the three thousand sons marines agreed with this course of action, as it was Vistario- the leader of the expedition whom used an anti-reactive boltor round to shoot the brains out of Ractar, killing him and the thousand sons.

Probably the most moving part of Rylanor's final defiance is that it was done in the dark, surrounded by enemies that would have otherwise welcomed him into their fold, and that he resisted even after his trap had been foiled, after his Dreadnaught was sundered, and even as a Daemon Primarch clutched his ruined body. Besides the fact that its potency was such as to bring three heretics back to the light even knowing the price would be their lives, of course.

The last words of Rylanor gave me goosebumps.

I'm impressed by the video. I love how it guy had a never give up attitude.

May the Allfather protect you, Ancient Rylanor, for you died in his service, facing your horrific father with courage and loyality!

for the emperor

I’m surprised that the thousand sons marines were motivated to drop the barrier by his speech i guess it’s been perfected for a long time.

Victory, even in death. “Chaos claims the unwary or the incomplete. A true man may flinch away its embrace, if he is stalwart, and he girds his soul with the armour of contempt.” -Gideon Ravenor

to quote what is essentially the motto of all loyalist dreadnoughts, "even in death, I serve". Ancient Rylanor embodied this to the highest degree, both bodies broken, no way to return to the Imperium he loved, he chose to deny is former father face to face, and in the process, redeemed fallen brothers of another chapter. there is no better fitting end for such a warrior, if only he could have returned to the Imperium though, there can never be to many great servants of the God Emperor.

Ancient Rylanor of the Emperor's Children at that very final moment was found, "Not Wanting."

Went out like a boss!

Rylanor is so inspirational that I'm so Goddamn inspired right now

"Rylanor deserves better than you oh Primarch! RYLANOR DESERVES BETTER THAN ALL OF US!!!"

I'm not crying. Stupid Emperor's children, being all heroic. :(

I've never heard of Rylanor and hes now one of my top 5 favorite 40k characters.

Rylanor chose to end the evil his father had become. He chose to remain loyal not matter the cost. To die with honor, integrity, and his dignity intact. Rylanor wanted to remember his father as he was, not what he had become. Seeing this, Fulgrim remembered what he and his sons were allowing a sliver of regret to enter his mind about what they had become. Ancient Rylanor had been a hero many times over in his life, but no heroic moment so great as that of his death. Honor, duty, integrity, loyalty, and dignity all remaining true even at the moment of his end...that is perfection.

Sad thing is that the imperium will never know of Rylanors loyalty.

Rylanor is a badass

Just when I was thinking about what happened to him I find a new video from you about him. Nice work as always.

And now his watch has ended. R.I.P

Plot twist: Ancient Rylanor planned his trap with the help of none other than... ALPHARIUS.

The stories about the loyal few among the Traitor Legions are the most inspirational of the Horus Heresy.

It breaks my heart to know he died, but he rest with the Emperor for his bravery.

Baldermort needs to do a story about this guy

Epic way to go. I always admired venerable dreadnoughts for their dedication and pure will to serve their cause even after sacrificing everything they had.

I think that ending tells us more about the Thousand Sons then Rylanor him self..

I cry manly tears for Rylanor, waited 10k for a final f u to his Primarch, What a chad.

as one of the Emperor's Children, i'm sure Rylanor could appreciate...that this was a _perfect_ way to go out.

Now that's what I call ... *LOYALTY !!!*

By the Emperor, that hit right in the feels!

I like to think Thousand Sons are one of the "redeemable" legions. I hope that Magnus can see the light once more.

I RECALL THE VIRTUES I STOOD FOR, I RECALL THE STRUGGLES AND THE THINGS WE HAVE DONE! I WILL NOT BE DETERRED FROM MY VENGENCE, I REMEMBER THE LESSONS PASSED ON TO THE SONS! I AM ONE OF THE EMPERORS CHILDREN, I AM RYLANOR AND I AM THE ANCIENT OF RITES! SO I REJECT YOU FOR NOW AND FOR ALWAYS! TO STRIKE YOU DOWN I HAVE WAITED FOR A MILLION NIGHTS!

Best roast than the Salamanders. Hottest burn since Prospero.

this is how a battle brother should die defiant to the end No Pity! No Remorse! No Fear!

His bravery and loyalty is so beautifully inspiring it almost made me cry

Moral of the story: Be careful picking a fight with someone near the end of their time. Survival may be not part of the plan to bring you down.
