Little later than anticipated, but here it is, the introductory breakdown of Warhammer 40,000's Horus Heresy. With the semi-recent release of Games Workshop's new edition of The Horus Heresy, I wanted to talk about the grim darkness of the far future in a more digestible format for newcomers, and those unfamiliar with the brand. Rev up those chainswords, it's time to take the deep dive into why the Emperor of Mankind is a bad dad, and introduce Magnus the Red for an inevitable "Did Nothing Wrong" video.

Rome was possibly less than 100 years from discovering steam driven mechanisms when Europe collapsed on itself; I think it is very fair to say there was a dark age after Rome fell. Arabia picked up a lot of the slack, but it took the world a long time to realise the stability necessary for technology to explore new ideas again.

@makenshi6921 Жыл бұрын

That is an interesting thought, considering the aeolipile had been creates around 400 year before the empire collapsed, how much longer would it have taken them to use steam driven mechanisms.

Excellent video! Also some interesting sidenotes: >Lorgar being the catalyst behind the Heresy is absolutely supreme irony. The Emperor (a god in human form) is worshiped as, well, a god in human form by his son, who writes an immaculately crafted treatise on how the Emperor is a divine being and how mankind is lost without an object of faith (in this case the Emperor), causing the Emperor to rebuke him and humiliate him, causing Lorgar to seek gods worthy of worship (the Chaos Gods) and leading to the Heresy, resulting in the Emperor's permanent entombment upon the Golden Throne and him becoming an object of worship...which turns out to be the thing that keeps the Imperium together, complete with Lorgar's book (authorship censored) as its holy text, thus proving Lorgar right all along. If he weren't serving new masters and hadn't renounced his old book, he'd probably be immeasurably smug. >One of the survivors of Istvaan III was an absolute gigachad of an Emperor's Children Dreadnought by the name of Rylanor, who butchered all the traitors sent to kill him and then buggered off to some cave...only to be awakened millennia later by Fulgrim and some Chaos raiders looking for interesting things to loot and instead find themselves being turned inside out by Rylanor. As it turns out, he was guarding an unexploded virus bomb and had been waiting for Fulgrim to return. Fulgrim offered him the chance to join him, and Rylanor's response? "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!" before detonating the bomb. Though Fulgrim survived by virtue of being a Daemon Primarch and Rylanor was sadly destroyed, Fulgrim carries this shame to this very day. >Prior to the Big Oof of Prospero, Magnus and his Thousand Sons had been summoned to the Council of Nikea to decide the future of psykers in the Space Marines. Unfortunately, fate conspired that on his defence was a very wise and learned White Scar who couldn't speak very good High Gothic and was stuck with a rather useless interpreter, whilst on the attack was an exceptionally stubborn douchebag of a Space Wolf who even the rest of the Wolves thought was kind of an arse. (Also a Magnus Did Nothing Wrong would be a very good video). >It's implied that the 11th Primarch was purged for consorting with Malal, the 5th Chaos God (now lost to weird legal issues between GW and his creator) and the god of self-destructive rebellion and defiance, a god so fundamentally wrong that even though he's by far the weakest and least "popular" of the Ruinous Powers, the other 4 are TERRIFIED of him because his power essentially cancels out any other god. >Speaking of the Lost Primarchs, whilst the traitor Primarchs are recorded as eternal enemies of the Imperium, the two Lost were erased from all records and have basically been completely memory holed, with the last Loyalists who have any memory of them being Guilliman (who will not speak of them) and Malcador (who is dead). Whatever they did was considered worse than the Heresy to such a degree it has been completely wiped from history.

@taigaaisaka6305 Жыл бұрын

Something you missed: It is heavily hinted (if not outright stated) in the Adeptus Custodes Codext that the other lost/Erased Primarch is imprisoned in The Hallowed Vaults, a place the Custodes guard as it houses relics and artefacts considered too dangerous for humanity. In the new codex there's a line that specifically says "The vaults not only hold artefacts and relics, however. They also hold beings. It That Craves, *Subject XI* and One of the Fell are but a handful of thousands."

Also. Erebus is the one who turned Lorgar to the chaos gods to begin with so Lorgar was never the true power behind the Horus heresy starting, it was ya boi Erebus. (Kor Phaeron and some other douche canoes also need to be mentioned)

@saucemandela Жыл бұрын

I think what people forget about Lorgar and his chastisement is that Big E gave him exactly what he wanted, a god. If Big E was a god then Lorgar and his legion would’ve have to kneel and worship him without choice, but instead he took it in entirely the wrong way. Also, i’m a firm believer that Magnus did practically everything wrong during the heresy

Is it pretty good short summary of it but if you really want to go in depth 40K series has quite a few videos in a playlist called "Warhammer 40k for newcomers". There's also snipe and web when they do their codex compliance they talk a lot about the history not only the books not as the codexes for each of the factions but they show off a lot of the older stuff from the 1980s and 90s and they're pretty funny. Sadly there was a series for a while it's still there but they haven't been making any new episodes known as the emperor had a text to speech device it was funny great and it actually did a little bit of the whole what happened and wherever 40K as the emperor gets to understand what has been happening to him and his empire while stuck on The Golden throne. For the fantasy side there's +2 toughness he's pretty good at it and he's been starting the another series on many other war games such as Warhammer age of sigmar and as of recently conquest and war machine / hordes from privateer press. Geisin goomba did a couple episodes talking about the orks and their influences from real life.
