The Emperor should've died completely, as he had foreseen as was the only true salvation of the universe, from the powers of Chaos.
He was / is mighty and did many godly feats, but in the end, was a lousy father.
Magnus, eavesdropping: "I punched out one of his hearts! Why does no one remember that?!"
Thank you for your wonderful work! Can't wait for what's next! (Whatever that is. My chronology of the Heresy is a bit fuzzy. It should be Sanguinius fighting Khorne and the Blood Angels getting the Red Thrist, right?)
Has any one else been randomly unsubscribed?
I had no clue that anyone other than the Thousand Sons were swept up in the storm that spirited them away.
HL always had that drip fucking bone white with that claw and hammer him fulgram and Vulcan jus such badass armor
Such a good event series. Nobody has covered the battle of Prospero so well. I still think a swap of Russ for Sanguinius or the Lion would have resulted in Magnus and his legion going to Terra instead of a battle. This would have made Horus options at treachery almost nothing and without the Emperor stuck on the Throne he could use Magnus to hold the gate while he fixed the tear and then crush Horus with Sanguinius, Lion, Khan, Guilliman, Ferrus, Vulkan, Corax and his Custodes and Imperial Household. Leaving half his Custodes, the Fists and Dorn, Russ as a watch dog for Magnus and his sons on Terra.
Can someone explain to me what he's talking about at 48:00? The Thousands Sons aren't real? Ahriman was the only survivor of the burning? The rest are warp entities or something?
Never forget what GW did to TTS. I will never forgive them.
I always love your historical accounts Oculus because you clearly go to great lengths to present things from a perspective within the 40k universe. Leaving things IRL fans 'know' from the books uncertain in your chronicles is just one example of many, you also take the time to explain the vested interests of involved parties in detail and how their accounts are distorted by those interests.
In short, you are out-doing many (if not most) real world historians who either cannot or choose not to account for their own biases in their chronicles! For that you have my admiration, please keep up the good work!
They really put up a great fight with the odds stacked against them
magnus was betrayed and wronged by every side.
amazing work as always!
damn i miss Oculus's-TtS Character 🙁
missed the upload
You weave so much heartfelt emotion into your narration such that you remain unrivaled & unchallenged with respect to the quality of work which you produce. Keep up the great work, brother!
I find the tale of the Thousand Sons and Magnus to be the Imperium's greatest tragedy. A loyal legion, set upon by liars, traitors and hypocrites, a planet burned for no good reason, and a Primarch who, while misguided and fallible, remained loyal right up until the point where the executioner came for him. Had Prospero not burned, I doubt the Legion would have fallen to Chaos at all
Really good video. You keep getting better and better.
Yawn … passion seems fleeting. Worry about analytics over just great content is creeping. 40k by the numbers at that Imperium of Man level of stagnation be increasing.
At the start of this series, it is stated that Horus was ofcourse informed, now at the end in this episode, it says it was orchestrated entirely without him knowing…
Also I heard from other lore channels that it was thought that Horus was the one who changed the order from retrieve Magnus to wipe out the chapter/ sieze by any means necessary.
Classic 40k to be contradictive and unsure as to what really happened.
Masterful as ever.
Russ was more a puppet of Chaos undivided then he ever was a loyal servant of the Emperor. Everything from the wanton slaughter of civilians on Prospero which fueled the warp to the codex Omega he handed over the Horus, everything he did was to the opposite benefit of mankind when viewed in hindsight.
Incredible content. The quality is absolutely staggering.
That last theory could drastically change the context of the Emperor and Magnus's final confrontation on Terra. The legion except for Ahriman were already gone, souls consumed by Tzeentch, and what Magnus was holding onto was the memory of his sons, now truly lost beyond any help from the Emperor or Magnus.
wonderful this may be the best collection of drawings so far
