I would say Magnus the Red is arguably, the greatest example of wasted Primarch potential.

Magnus is the case for why you need a VPN and anti-malware when browsing the warp.

I never understood why Magnus wasn't ever angry enough at Horus for Horus tricking Russ into destroying Prospero.

It seems like with his pyschic power he should have been the strongest primarch easily but always end up losing because reasons

Magnus should have killed Erebus to prove his point to Horus.

Magnus is the greatest tragedy. His every attempt to do the right thing barred with horrible options, hurdles or side-effects fate throws at him. In that sense, he is a reflection of his father. He sees the lighthouse across the body of water but knows not the way there and the monsters that lurk beneath.

What if the Emperor had found Magnus first and confided in him about the Webway Project?

Let’s see your case for Lorgar 😂

Do you think magnus's fate would have changed if the emperor did not demand his legion to be exterminated, but instead be allowed to live out the rest of their lives and service to the imperium? The emperor would have explained that the thousand sons could not be saved but would be allowed to live out the rest of their lives with dignity.

Magnus: "Hey uncle Malki! I'm here for my noble shard the best part of me, have you seen it around?" Malcador: "Eww you still wanted that thing? I used it to make my own legion brah oopsie daisy!" Magnus explodes Malcadors body Magnus: "Oopsie poopsie did I do that?!"

He's the only primarch that's never done anything wrong. Ever. Not once. Yup.

The name Magnus actually means 'greatest.' Same root word as Magnitude, and magnify, magnum opus, and magnificence etc.

Angry space wolf typing

I suspect that one of the lost primarchs was probably Magnus' redundancy.

If the emperor had listened in the first place to magnus, told russ to ignore horus because he was under suspicion and brought magnus back to terra, it could've been very interesting. Who knows some kind of battle against the traitors where the wolves and thousand sons had to work together to get to terra...

i don't know about "greatest" but of all the Primarchs he was THE ONE needed for the Emperor's plan

Was this not common knowledge? Been seeing a lot of Magnus being op videos recently and I was like, the "psyker" primarch? The one that instaported to Terra? Bro is mad levels of powerful

Magnus, Perturabo, Ferrus Manus were all Squandered Plotlines that could have completely changed the landscape but never will.

*reads title* Russ would disown you.

You are given the power of a near-god, able to reshape reality around you and interact directly with the warp. Then you're introduced to your sons, who are mutating and dying en masse. Your even more godlike father doesn't offer to help you cure them, just dumps them in your lap and says "Best of luck, champ! I have total faith in you!" And even though you, more than any of your brothers, ought to be explicitly told "oh by the by, there are gods of Chaos in the warp who double-deal and ruin people's lives" he doesn't explicitly tell you that. Despite you being painfully naive, idealistic and way out of your depth. And he'd know that because he supposedly travelled the warp with you and knew you for years before even meeting you in person. The Emperor did everything wrong as a father and expected his son not to similarly screw up.

Now this is a neat idea for a series. I like it

Can we now just thank Curze for giving Vulkan the tolerance to get used to being murdered all those times? Anybody? All right...

Magnus had so much potential, but also hubris to match.

Magnus was destined to fall zeench had his eye on him since his birth.

He was a very naughty boy!

He's the primarch with the most images of them being half naked. Truely the only marker of true greatness

In the time from the heresy to current 40k, IF Magnus had saved the Rubric Marines, fought against Chaos on his own, and disowning any sons that had fallen to chaos....then the greatest. But he turned. For the love of his sons yes.

Makes you wonder if one of the missing 2 Primarchs were more physically developed as the only other seems to be Lorgar but it’s not even remotely the same.

I don’t mind the heresy, nearly destroying humanity future, emo phase, and killing malcador. But by the Emperor, what is it with those nipple horns?

I wonder, with the villas in the emperor’s palace. Did the E plan to complete the crusade, complete the webway project, then bring the primarchs together to train them on the final battle against the 4 powers.

He's probably the strongest of them, but thats a negative, cause it isn't easy to write a book/novel about a god like guy and make it interesting, so he always ends up " Banished " by everyone, its really annoying to be a Thousand Sons guy to be honest, i just want a " Son of the forest " style Magnus book, a redemption book is on my top 3 " want " list in Warhammer.

Thanks for crediting the artists, so many channels don't.

That one guy: Greatest in the fail department. Also that guy: gets blasted and forms a new Choas God of backtalking.

The fact he is the only one to sit on the throne makes me think at least one if not both of the last primarchs were also psychics. The emperor did tend to have a back up plan, nodt of the time.

Excellent!

Can't wait 'till we get to Ferrus Manus and Rho goes: "He's the greatest because... well... you know... He's got iron hands. Pretty coool"

He was made to sit on a 6 for some so smart. He got he into single handed to destroy the thing that could have saved them all.

My guy ended up with giant chicken feet. He f*cked up.

The glazing of Magnus

lmao Rho has challenged himself with this video series prompt. Advocating for Lorgar being the greatest is going to be like pulling your own teeth.

Lorgar’s episode will be the shortest video ever. Calling it now.

It wasn't Magnus's fault that Galaxy had gone mad.

That's what makes him so special, being so powerful and intelligent, and yet he got corrupted, for example no one cares if Lorgar got corrupted or not

"and who has a better story than Magnus the Broken?" Lol

Question just hit me - Given one of his shards was used taken from him is in a way a second betrayal in magnus's view no ? As Wolf Lord Rho mentions in this Vid he remained neutral even saving people Until he find out about his shard.

Magnus did nothing wrong. He was told to do nothing and he did something.

What would've happened if Magnus the Red had stepped into a rift and appeared outside the gates of the Imperial Palace, when the forces of Chaos were laying siege? Just imagine: titans are being crucified against the walls, Death Guard are butchering people and the Emperor's Children are running riot: THEN THE THOUSAND SONS LEGION APPEARS, LED BY MAGNUS.

I think that there was a second very strong psychic primarch but he was deleted from the records.

He held up a spaceship with his mind!

Horus wasn't the true target of corruption nor was beginning the emperor's corruption into the dark king but Magnus' fall from grace for only by removing him from the board could the 40k setting be as it is. I personally think Magnus is the only one that could break free from chaos by himself and revert back to a more mortal form, IF he were to get his noble shard back as it would balance him out mentally and return closer to what he once was. Or if bitch snitch tzeentch were to throw him into the well of time, or whatever he chucked Kairos into that gave Kairos that second head lol, as I think Magnus could pull some 'snatch my soul shards in time before they disappear' and come out to beat the fuck out of the hentai god of lies and birds 😂😂😂

Unfortunately I believe Tzeentch always had his sights on Magnus. Knowing the Emperor wanted to keep the truth about chaos secret, Tzeentch probably subtly manipulated everything he could in Magnus' life to orchestrate the perfect set of circumstances in which one of the most loyal sons of the imperium would not join chaos, but specifically would fall directly under his influence against the Emperor

For a super intelligent being, why force his way directly to the Emperor when he could have contacted Malcador?

Doing everything wrong takes a certain kind of greatness

i dont think magnus was the only one made for the golden throne. Angron showed really strong psychic powers and assuming his power to remove peoples' pain could be amplified, he could be used to cleans chaos corruption like a beacon of hope through the throne

Lorgar would be a possible psyker replacement for Magnus.

If you agree with that "Primarch Redundancy" was intentional the either the 2nd or 11th was A psycher.

Make a video about who is the reddest primarch

🔵💙 Imagine: powerful Chosen of Tzeentch always at war (with the Lord of Change Tchzen of the Silver Claw at their side)! Who with their mighty fire serve the God of Magic in the pure way, with victory in battle. So do his Sorcerers, who teach battle to the zealous Warriors of the Architect of Fate. With war they bring eternal change for Tzeentch! Tzeentch must look like Norsca, and there are several Champions who prove it: Tchar'zanek, Aekold Helbrass, Albodi, Melekh the Changer. "My name? Long ago such worthless details fell from memory. I know only the lust for glorious battle -- for blood, for victory! I seek only the Eye of Tzeentch -- his favour, his grace, his Dark Gifts -- that through them, I may be remade -- reborn! Why do we raid your lands? Why do we burn your homes? Why do we flay your flesh? To serve the Lord of Change and his magnificent designs." Do you know what the Screamers of Tzeentch must look like? Long tail but raven wings and beak, without claws however because being creatures of change they must always fly and never stop. And since purple, pink, and gold (Slaanesh) are aspects that simply don't go well with Tzeentch, then blue, azure, and silver are his only true aspects. 💙🔵 I like to imagine (even before the Heresy) Magnus and the Thousand Sons with the symbol of the Egyptian Raven (let's eliminate the symbol of the Egyptian Scarab, it is an insult to Tzeentch).

Magnus lived the life of a protagonist in a young adult dystopian novel. Tzeentch made sure he'd always suffer from main character/hero syndrome, ironically makong his folly inevitable.

Magnus better get his Bunny suit on. As that was he was meant to be. A Duracell battery. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duracell_Bunny

Ferrus video gonna be 15 seconds

Magnus' only crime was thinking he knew better than the Emperor. He never wanted any of this. Probably the most tragic of all traitor primarchs aside from Angron, who never had a chance.

Magnus was not meant for the throne. Vulkan the undying was.

he may appear to be the only primach who cant sit on the Golden Throne, but who knows what the missing primarchs were designed for.

_LookatthiscookieIfound~_ - Magnus the Nerd 🍪

“A general spoiler warning:… I’m a space wolf fan” Rho

Nice short series then, the answer is yes, and we're done, right?

What I don't get is why magnus didn't just go turn himself in to Russ alone. He knew he was there for blood either way. At least that way the planet might have been saved. He might even have been able to explain Horus' treachery.

I did not know he killed Malcador

He's got the greatest abs, so must be the greatest

In the burning of Prospero, remember when Magnus projects himself to earth from prospero? His projected self has the potential to rip through the space wolves ships in low orbit above Prospero, destroying the ships about to burn his world. Yet he doesn't want to seem like the villain, so he flies like an enchanted dolphin through space at lights peed, towards the golden throne, pissing off his dad for doing that trick. Yes, Magnus is possibly the strongest in the Physical and definitley in the Psychic

Magnus is easily the most Nerfed Primarch. He is second only to the emperor with his psyker ability. Meaning stronger than malcador which means he could have "unmade" Horus or any other Primarch for that matter.

I think Magnus was the most instrumental primarch in the emperors plan the dream died when Magnus fell

If you think about your comment on multiple Primarch bring able to fill multi roles if need, i.e. redundancy. It does beg the question, what was the redundancy for Magnus? Are we certain another Primarch didnt have the capacity, if not the cultivation of, deep psychic powers? Are we absolutely certain?

Russ ain't gonna like you've made this vid

You forgot to say that Vulcan eventually messed up Magnus real good.

why did the Emperor wnat Magnus to get rid of hia legion?

I think of all the traitor Primarchs Magnus is the best option for redemption, he is truly the one with the power to change the fate of the Imperium. Don't get me wrong im not saying Guilliman and the Lion won't be able to change the Imperium but not to the same degree as to what Magnus could achieve, especially if he was to have thier help

Agreed

Unless magnus was was the redundancy and the 2nd or 11th was in fact the true heir of the throne..

Magnus did everything he could to save the universe from being boring. He's subconsciously breaking the 4th wall and making the best choice every time to sell more toys!

😂😂😂 That was a good laugh, thank you. Magnus the nerd the best primarch? hilarious.

YESSSSSSSS

I've never felt so heard.

Always thought he had the possibility of, if not being the most powerful Primarch...isn't he the physically biggest?

There is going to be some hilarious videos coming up. Why Fulgrim is the greatest - He was into bedroom antics SO kinky even Slaneesh was taking notes. Why Angron is the greatest - Erm ... well he ... erm ... yeah good luck with that. p.s. tl;dr Sanguinius was the greatest, end of conversation.

Magnus is the Primarchs that the Emperor need the most or needed. His role was so important and if there is plans from the Emperor to leave the golden throne one day then he need Magnus. And if anyone can save Magnus is the Emperor and the Khan. Magnus is probadly also the only one whoese powers could be devrstating for the Tyranids.

Majorkill did a similar video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fsWjpLR6qNumdKc.html&pp=ygUcd2FyaGFtbWVyIG1hZ251cyBub3QgZmFsbGluZw%3D%3D and pointed out that there were chances for Magnus to do the right thing, and IF he had, chaos would have been fucked royally, and gives examples. The Russ one being one of them

I actually don't believe Magnus is the only one designed for the phone, I just think the one or ones that could take his place died first.

Magnus had loyal intentions, but he STILL f'd up. It's just the truth. There's no way to "splain" out of it. 😅 Trying to blame the Emperor for his f-up is just bs. It's what little kids do when a parent tells them no about something and there's serious consequences for disobeying and doing what was forbidden anyway.

I still think sanguinius who is the greatest, as he alone by his presence could make every citizen in the empire follow him out of love and respect as he was the angel. That he was set in so high regards by all his brothers.....and lets face it, even the gods of chaos wanted him not horus or magnus to lead there forces against the emperor.

The word greatest is an opinion. I don't know, bro any of them will do that. I guess that's why you're making a video good job

If Magnus did stay loyal the siege of terra like would never of happened because Magnus could man the throne indefinitely or the very least vast amounts of time

Magnus was always destined to fall. He simply lasted longer than the previous two. The emperor always has redundancy. I have the feeling that the 2nd and/or the 11th Primarchs had the psychic potential to sit on the golden throne.

Magnus is the g.o.a.t.

I love Magnus...in a way. But this will be a stretch 😂

❤

This is all well and good yes but there is only one Primarch that is brightest and greatest we all know him and love him. The greatest fighter the greatest symbol, compassionate and best looking ;) the Great Angel , even among his brothers he is so much more. :)

the big red chicken was screwed from day one, his ultimate destiny was to be continuously roasted sat on the golden throne instead of his "loving" father, don't make me laugh. He was so powerful he couldn't see what would happen when he went blundering into the webway and his dad's stay out room?????? otherwise love the lore and vid's

No son of Russ would ever agree to that
