To be fair to the Emperor not caring about his sons, they pretty much just created that concept as an element of ambiguity that could remain in the Heresy; from the stories I've read, it totally depends on the individual son, usually, if the son hates the Emperor, the Emperor appears to respond in kind.

[@shuvodipbarua6001]

I've been going down the HH lore hole these last two years and sometimes it really feels like some of the Primarchs are complaining about the Emperor not caring about what they want just because they were too scared to disagree with him to his face (or whatever the interstellar equivalent of that is). Yeah, the Emperor's not gonna win Father of the Year anytime soon, but it wouldn't've killed Perturabo to just do what he wants like Guiliman or Jaghatai instead of following orders and whining about it all day.

Eh, I hate how they made 30k into 40k-lite. Instead of the Great Crusade era being this mythical coming of a new golden age that was sadly ended, it just ends up as a slightly better off 40k imperium. Like you mean to tell me they had cherubs and a bunch of other stuff like that while the Emperor was spreading his religion bad message?

[@onua2012sga]

It's because they took the safe and cheap way out at the complete cost of story quality and wrote a setting that would appeal to the established fans. The 30k setting should have been utterly unrecognizable from 40k in aesthetic and partially in substance, but that might have alienated people who were fans of the main setting's style and tone. It should have been more overtly a """hard""" sci-fi, glory to science and progress and flashy lights in name, but with the obvious rot of authoritarianism and ironic bigotry in practice. It should have been a complete deconstruction of "the ends justify the means". And most of all, there should have been ZERO religious imagery or word choices. Why is HERETIC used in the atheistic IoM? There's some cool moments and lore but it was not handled well and it's absurdly past the point of being able to walk it back.

[@Bluecho4]

Absolutely agree. If you gave me passages from a 30K novel and a 40K novel, divorced from context, I wouldn't be able to tell which was which just from characterization and world-building. For example: I really liked the novel (Alpha) _Legion,_ it's probably one of the better ones in the Horus Heresy. But even in there, you can Alpharius + Omegon accusing people of heresy. Despite being at the height of Big-E's anti-religion campaign. WTF?

[@papanurgle8393]

​@@onua2012sga I think Alan Bligh did a fantastic job laying the foundation of the setting, and really captured the ethos of an empire tearing itself apart before its idiosyncrasies, where it starts to not work is in the the novelization. While generally serviceable, it was wildly inconsistent and at times needlessly convoluted, I was also really disappointed that the more coldly utilitarian dimension of the Imperium's "golden age" didn't pop up more often in them, though the HH Black Books have a *lot* of juicy tidbits spread across that sell this facet better. As for the faith thing, I think that the Last Church more or less answers the religiosity within the Imperium's nominal atheism. Humanity has a nearly pathological need to believe in a greater power, and even a militant crackdown on superstition can itself carry religious undertones when it becomes a dogma; their actions are Heretical to the Imperium's militant atheism, which they pursue with the same fervor as a religious zealot. What's interesting is that there actually is *some* historical precedent for such a situation in revolutionary France. One of its many short lived governments tried to set up a Cult of Reason following 1789 as a state sponsored Atheistic religion, one that championed human concepts of liberty and reason, and was meant to supplant the recently dispossessed French Catholic church. It didn't take off, and was actually outlawed by Napoleon a decade later, but as a concept I see it echoed in the Imperium's early days.

On the Space Marine minis part, there are the plastic Mark III and IV kits that are widely used because it is a cheaper way to get into Heresy. You do not have to use any resin at all if you don't want to as a lot of the Mars pattern tanks, the GW Rhino chassis tanks like the predator or vindicator are usable same with Land Raiders. You can quite easily build a list without touching resin if you wanted. This goes doubly now as the new edition and leaks we've seen for months now indicates a big move to plastic and away from the arbitary FW price. I would discourage proxies/inaccurate armour, practice games to see if people like it is chill, because authenticity is such a big part of why people play 30k and seeing Primaris run around does kill that aspect of enjoyment. I know haha funny marine game but I would seriously look at the non marine factions they are just in depth rules wise for example, Mechanicum is a modellers dream army and Miltia and Cults is a you can use your beastmen as a mutant horde levels of customisation. I do agree and want the game to have Ork, Eldar and even minor Xenos empire rules and I think it could be done pretty easily with a Great Crusade expansion I get why the Heresy is human focused though as at its core it is a human conflict.

They have skipped so much to reach the siege of terra and at the speed GW has lately been putting out books for heresy I would say that theres atleast 20 years of content for heresy unless GW drops the game. Also they could expand in to the great crusade.

Great, 14:58 is going to be stuck on my mind for a minute

[@ravenRedwake]

9:16 I mean…the way things were going with the Ksons, they probably weren’t gonna last until 40K. They were a dying legion and maybe should have been left to die…but Magnus would probably have been given the Grey Knights as a legion-strength force (though not his sons)

[@efi3661]

For your pricing point, I have one word to say: recasts

[@giacomoromano8842]

Saying "less godly people" and put on Malcador is the biggest understatement ever. Dude styled over everyone and is theonly character in warhammer 40k that i actually call good (with all the implications that statements involves, off course.)

[@bennettnewman3625]

congrats on 33k subs.

[@wheatard904]

Do a video on what if Freddy fazbear enters the warhammer 40k universe

[@eldritchdefender7785]

He would just get destroyed by a few lasgun shots.

[@papanurgle8393]

My favorite part of the HH is getting to play Cybernetica in it's full robotic glory. I do agree with your concerns on timespan, but it *can* be stretched by late Crusade supplements and covering the Scouring.

[@RiffSilverthe1andonly]

This man makes great content and out like the waterworks

[@Ulysses-xl4pv]

I hope with 2.0 they make all the resin kits into plastic. They seem to be doing this with Horus, so only time will tell if they’re gonna do all the primarchs in plastic.

[@ciandaly9575]

In my head cannon for the burning of prospero the psychic backlash from destroying the golden throne destroys magnus' ability to reason and his whole "ooh woe is me let me die" thing is just the only line of reasoning he can come up with to parse his guilt. Other people be damned

[@skeletorrobo]

I got the 1993 Horus Heresy boardgame. It explains enough of the period. It's fun and epic in the Space Marine sense. Trolls, Minotaurs, Squats, and Primarchs.

[@cmdrwraithe1857]

Could you do a video about Eisenhorn? That would be awesome. Give the Inquisitors some love.

[@felipequaresma4215]

question. Why does it feel like they always write the loyalist primarchs as good, complex and competent, sometimes ignoring everything bad they did, and always show the traitor primarchs, even before the heresy as umcompetent, weak, whose fall was very weird and forced?

[@christophersmith8848]

Horus mentions himself that he basically got the shitty half of the Primarchs, stating that "So many I would have had with me are against me" or something to that effect.

[@isauldron4337]

Honestly angron and horus have their reason to fall Magnus? I don't get why of all sides he chose the god of mutation and deceiving Like seriously does he suffer from stockholm syndrome or something,? It's all tzweench's fault not the emperor Perturarbo becoming a demon Prince makes no sense Why mortarion the psyker hater became a psyker? Dunno

[@squidopedia_]

Get that Leman Russy

[@justinalexander4707]

Please do a Do or do not:Tau empire. Cons: people are going to call you weeaboo, comie, Fish men who like to cosplay as robots Pros: I fired one unit... now kindly remove half your army from the table.

[@dancohen3099]

4:15 Side note: Malcador was the strongest psyker after the Emperor and maybe Magnus.

[@SNBullen0002]

Magnus did nothing wrong!! Also love the fact that you used Rome Total War music 😅

[@Brainflayer]

I feel like The Emperor could have been made so much more interesting if GW said that he did genuinely care about and love his sons but chose to try and suppress that love because he thought letting his very much Human emotions cloud his judgement would compromise his ability to rule The Imperium as effectively as possible.

[@atanaspetkov580]

The life expectancy of Forgeworld is quite interesting right now. With the Death Korps getting a cheaper kit with upgrades on the main GW website, and the new HH marines being plastic: Forgeworld could either get assimilated or it will change focus once more.

[@jonathanredacted3245]

I believe there was a brief moment following the triumph at ullanor where horus renamed his legion before he turned traitor

[@isauldron4337]

Yep there is one Before he was poisoned

[@dac314]

MALCADOR THE BRO, you need to put more respect and reverence on that name when you speak it

[@jonstack8740]

Milestone! congratulations.

[@LordCrate-du8zm]

Doing a re-review on this would be nice now that there are tons more plastic models.

[@poohbear4821]

About the point about it having an end point - its a valid point and the game will slowly get less popular at some point but they still support lotr and that had an endpoint

[@XXLPIakat]

LOTR is also finished in a sense, so having the Horus Heresy not be able to expand further might be a good way too, that way it won't change through new rules and GW can continue to sell the same minis.

[@JIMT412]

Finally, Nathanial Garro is receiving love and recognition.

[@BlueflameKing1]

I was confused by the 19 sons, is this reference to Alpharius Omegan or is it Aloharius and Omegan?

[@isauldron4337]

Yeah alpharius and omegon are twins Two primarchs are missing and as with twins there's 21 Remove 2 and you get 19

[@Warrior-Of-Virtue]

Most of the problems with the Horus Heresy stems from the fact that you have half a dozen writers who seem to vehemently disagree on how characters should be portrayed.

[@MouldMadeMind]

Horus will need this video

[@Reignor99]

40k lore with Rome Total War and Dominus music in the background? My brother!

[@isaacfransonfilm2139]

About the space marine thing. I'm more than ok with it just being space marines (as someone who does not play standard space marines in 40k) because it's not even just 30k were talking about, it's the HORUS HERESY. This IS the space marine game. If i was a game designer (and this is a SPICY hot take) I would actually completely remove all factions besides marine legions, and use that time and funding to make each marine legion truly unique. Cut down the fat and focus in on the space marines. I know other species were there, but this is THE space marine thing. And maybe, just maybe, if we give them a whole little corner to themselves, other species in 40k will get more attention!
