[@missZoey5387]

An aspect of the heresy that has always struck me was that the ones who ultimately betrayed the Imperium tended to view themselves as above the ordinary humans. False Gods literally features superhuman soldiers conspiring to unalive a poet for the crime of criticizing them and acting like it is an outrage for Imperial army officers to call for one of their own to stand trial for crimes against civilians. Astartes like Abadon and the other traitors not only think that being superhumans make them better than ordinary people, but that such a trait elevates them above the law.

[@GalaxyBrain88]

Isn't it understandable though? The same story has played out in real world history since the beginning of human history. Those with power subjugate those with less for their own gain.

[@missZoey5387]

@@GalaxyBrain88 Most certainly. The Astartes had their own chain of command, and correct me if I'm wrong, but they were not answerable to the mortal Imperial commanders.

[@GalaxyBrain88]

@@missZoey5387 correct! For the most part.. I'm not a lore expert by any means but have read several books including the first 3 heresy books. One of the reasons Horus became resentful of the imperium in the great crusade was because of the commanding body of bureaucracy that was set up by the emperor to help govern the crusade. The primarchs including Horus did have to listen to their demands. One of the first things they did was set up a imperial tithe on planets that were brought into compliance during the great crusade which Horus did not agree with but it was enacted regardless.

[@medhathobo]

I remember when they trampled the civilians in the book. They got in the way and mobbed the marines while Horus was dying. The inclusion of the, what were they, remembrancers? Was forced on all marine legions by bureaucrats on Terra, which contributed to the contrast of the relationship between real soldiers and politicians. They played a huge role of being a narrative obstacle for the marines. Also, marines are more valuable than a regular human. Geneseed is rare in 30k, and limited in 40k. Primarchs are even more limited and cannot be made again. Also, if The Emperor found out his favorite son died because the marines carrying Horus to safety were stalled by overly curious civilians, he would have had all of them killed. His goal for humanity is to evolve to his level, which astartes and even more, the primarchs were closer to. Remember, The Emperor made thunder warriors, which had the personalities of killing machines, and wiped out nations of people. There is no innocence in 30k/40k. Marines also, unlike thunder warriors, actually have emotions. Horus is their father and supposed to be immortal. They had also been sustaing more deaths than ever before. Their emotions got the better of them, and marines have the emotional control of children. Civilians are treated similarly in reality. We don't have large groups of reporters running around in warzones, only a few who know they are risking their lives and need to stay out of the way. War is hell for everyone in the warzone. TLDR: The first few books have a real contrasting narrative of how war only cares about heroes. We know who Alexander the Great is, not the civilians who were caught in the wars.

[@missZoey5387]

@@medhathobo Yes, the remembrancers. They were an organization consisting of poets, journalists, historians, and artists. The remembrancer that was eventually silenced was angry over that exact same scene.

[@mpnuorva]

It's honesty kinda sad that we see the breakdown of the series this early: In Horus Rising Dan Abnett sets up Horus looking down on humanity and resenting mortals taking over what the Primarchs and Astartes have conquered, implying it will be the unifying cause Chaos comes to exploit. In False Gods however Graham McNeill has Horus duped to believe the Emperor is trying to be a god and makes that Horus' cause to rebel. And while the irony of Horus causing the future he seeks to prevent under false premises (and almost making those premises true as a consequence of his actions as of The End and the Death) is delicious, it also means there is little unifying cause in the rebellion since Horus' source is literally "it came to me in a dream". Because there is no unifying cause every traitor primarch gets their own fall story and reason to rebel, which gives them very diferent motivations that demands they all pull to different directions, so that's what each writer begins to build on. Almost each Primarch's tragic law also become crippling, and Horus even lampshades this. As a result the Prmarch that was made Warmaster for his ability to get his brothers work together can't actually do that once he switches sides.

[@missZoey5387]

Yup. It's tragic, but something that came from the flaws of men and their pride.

[@ksh2596]

I agree. I went into HH blind and I was hoping it would take a few books for Horus to go from loyal to traitor. It went way too fast to my liking. I was looking forward for more Luna Wolves stories 😢

[@andrewmeyer3599]

​@@missZoey5387 No no no no. What OP thought was going to happen is tragic and a case of men's pride. What they actually did was they felt they had to get to Horus being the bad guy really fast and did it the fastest and sloppiest way possible via a dream sequence

I discovered 40k about five years ago and fell down the rabbit-hole. I wandered blindly into the Horus Heresy, without any prior knowledge of the lore, discovering that the rabbit-hole does indeed go deep. I wish i could re-discover the franchise anew.

[@burnheretic3950]

This video is really important to understanding the heresy. The Emporer didn't really explain the warp/chaos to his sons/the primarchs. Then he left horus in charge of "the great crusade" to retake the galaxy for humanity. The Emporer went back to earth/Terra to sort out the web way project, which would have closed off chaos from the galaxy and made interstellar travel outside the warp possible. Before he could finish the project horus and the lunar wolves started to come in contact with chaos on crusade. Horus was injured by chaos and his advisor (erebus among others) put him in a cultists temple to be healed. Horus saw the chaos gods and turned to chaos during this experience but was ultimately healed. He returned to his fleet and secretly started scheming against the Emporer. Eventually leading to the betrayal on istvaarn (not sure of spelling) where half of the primarchs turned on the Emporer in favor of chaos. Later the ones who turned to chaos would go on to attach terra and try to kill the Emporer. They ultimately failed, horus was killed by Emporer but Emporer was injured to near death and put onto the golden throne. That setting still has the Emporer decaying but alive on the golden throne. The throne projects a shit load of psychic power from the Emporer allowing his followers to travel in the warp somewhat safely and grants other capabilities. If I remember correctly he's been on the throne looking like a corpse with tubes and plugs keeping him alive for 10,000 years now. A few loyal primarchs as well as chaos primarchs have started to return after all going their separate ways after the horus heresy. There are soo many books that are total side quests, you really have to read or listen to the "important"/plot line books to understand what's going. Some of my favorite warhammer books are the Soul Hunter series about one of the Night Lords profits. But you wouldn't really know what is going on in the larger story if you only read that series, you would probably more confused than anything in regards to plot. The Raptor cult of the Bleeding Eyes!

Horus (The Emperor) boards a chaos infested ship, finding one of the closest friends, Temba (Horus), turned to the ruinous powers. They fight and Horus (the Emperor) comes out on top, with the loser recognizing what they've become and begging for forgiveness, and the victor being mortally wounded beyond healing. In desperation, the victors are each forced to turn to the warp for their salvation, Horus becoming the herald of the ruinous powers and the emperor being forced to rely on humanity's worship while on the Golden Throne, eventually being fated to become the Dark King. Not to get too 5th grade English class about this, but there's a symbolic cycle present here that probably serves to illustrate the themes of corruption and betrayal within the setting and eventually becoming what you swore to destroy. "He who fights with monsters should be careful that he himself does not become a monster" and all that.

It is believed by some people that the Daemonic entity known as "Samus" was reference to Metroid's Samus Aran (as she is technically partially Xeno via genetic engineering in lore). Likewise the Horus Heresy is referenced in Metroid (Specifically Metroid Prime 3: Corruption) as the Horus Rebellion, Horus a planet Rebelled against the Galactic Federation (With help from the Galactic Crime syndicate: The Space Pirates), the Rebellion saw the 2 Olympus class planetary assault carriers GFS Olympus and Valhalla Sent to deal with it, things would go south incredibly quickly as Valhalla was board by Pirates and Rebels alike and would see all but the most veteran crew and marines killed just to repel boarders (with assistance of the ships AU). this is from a unused Lore piece in the game files though the Horus Rebellion is still quoted in game by conversation by 2 male fleet personal. Fleet 1: "I Haven't seen this many fighter scrambled since the Horus Rebellion." Fleet 2: "now that was some nasty business."

Awesome. One of the very few times I have actually watched a lore video, rather than just listen. Narration is spot on but the scale is really off, visual wise. It looks as though the they're invading a small town in the English countryside, in the opening 10 minutes. Great work, you're obviously preaching to a VERY big choir with this stuff but you really do have the ability to make it feel new and intriguing again

Normally I don’t get 10 minutes into lore videos, I get bored or lose my interest. This is by far the best lore breakdown video I’ve ever seen, the graphics help you paint a better image in my head I can imagine small scale scene and stuff but when it comes to a galactic scale my brain has a hard time picturing a galaxy map and such so this makes the lore so much more digestible and understandable as well, I’m 1:45:16 in and I wish there was more to this video I could watch this for hours. Amazing job man

[@Janovich]

Thank you!

[@BEANSTHESEAL]

​@@Janovich do you plan on making a part 2?

[@davidsciulli8384]

40k newbie and just starting out learning about the lore- this video is amazing!! Is there a part 2?

[@alexsteer7551]

Most perfect video I've ever watched! Need a part 2!

[@benmorin1284]

Chaos or no chaos, there would have been an heresy. There is no way the Space Marines would have let themselves have the fate of the Thunder Warriors, once the Imperium of Man triumphed and conquered all galaxy.

[@kamalalsb7292]

This entire video is just. Extremely impressively well made. Holy shit dude, I'm kinda blown away.

[@tobbecarlsson7760]

Do a part 2 on this one

[@itsShiftyYT]

I’ve always wanted to make videos like these, but wanted to tell stories and battles fought in video games by players, but I just never know where I should start. Love watching your content.

[@SonOfLemonRuss]

Bro always knows what we want.

[@lowo1]

Thank you for the story and visuals. Well done. Almost felt like I was a witness to the battle.

[@Mysteriest]

Janovichhhhhhh the next part cant waaaait for it 😭

[@justinmoore4088]

@Janovich What a fantastic video! This was the first video of yours that I watched, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! You have a new subscriber.

[@metalday1]

Amazing video! Hope to see the rest of the Horus heresy!

[@Dexinder]

Uma das melhores narrativas que eu já vi, mesmo estando em inglês, pra quem não é nativo, consegui entender perfeitamente toda a historia. Por favor, nos traga mais conteúdo da Horus Heresy.

[@Donnerdog]

Amazing video! Loved listening to every second of it, but now i feel ive been left on a cliff hanger lol. Im very new to war hammer lore so idk what happens next

[@mufeezahmed9162]

is there a continuation vid ? the narration style of this channel has me hooked and left me on a cliff hanger. I await the next installment in this series.

[@TheXeioken]

Need the next part so so badly

[@charlietedora2446]

This was incredible! I cannot wait for the Horus Heresy videos !

[@MrMakosi]

This was superb

[@WilyforInfinity]

This is hands down the best lore about Horus heresy specially as a good solid intro , I’ve read the first books long time ago this was a solid recap, I appreciate and may I recommend you do more about Horus heresy ? Like what happened later with Magnus and what happened with word bearers and ultramarines?

[@user-jo2yq8xf7j]

I think 14:07 conversation with sindermann and unded Jubal killing 2 remembrances was happening in whisperheads stronghold and not in flagship

[@DJSlipstream1]

This is Outstanding. Thank you so much for summarising.

[@bliblivion]

0:45 the armies numbers in the lore are so tiny in compareason of the supposed scale of the battles. Those writer didn't think this through.

[@JDEads11]

Nine minutes in and I already know I can kiss the next two hours goodbye. What a fantastic narrator!

[@draxx85]

This is probably the best Horus Heresy video ever made.

[@PersianGhost]

Please make another video finishing the Horus Heresy. This video was insanely well made!
