The only way to make su h a point hit harder would be to have Russ say it. If Leman Russ, of all the primarchs, agreed with Magnus it would make even The Emperor pay attention.

[@daringdarius5686]

@GenericGamer no.227 By "willpower" do you mean "firepower"? I think it's too easy to forget that "firepower" means naught but ash. In a world so full of smoke and mirrors, Russ might as well be just chopping a tree down in the middle of the woods. No one will hear it, nor remember it, but he will still be standing there, screaming that he's doing what he believes in, and starts chopping the next one. Magnus actually made a difference. Guilliman is keeping the Imperium together, and if it wasn't for the fact that half of the Primarchs weren't traitors at this point, Russ barely would manage to be above-average. When everything went south he just "disappeared", left his chapter to lust after wolves, and apparently has just been running around in the warp slaying demons, when by *just* calming down a planet and providing safety to it, he could stop a larger amount of demons just from *spawning* let alone: improving the economy, providing hope for the Imperium, and providing safety to billions. But if you mean "willpower" as in actual willpower, Horus most definitely had him beat there. I could also argue the case for Grandpa Smurf (Papa Smurf is Marneus Calgar), Dorn and almost all traitor Primarchs as well. They *too* fought in what they believed in and had greater will power, for they are actually still alive, and doing what they believe in (except Horus kek).

You know... the song right in the middle first seems to be entirely about the Custodes arguing that the Emperor's authority trumps the Mechanicus's, and that the burden of proof is on the Fabricator-General. And, in a way, I guess that's true. Halfway through, it subtly shifts to something else. 16:38 - It's such a small detail, but when Hammurabi strides forward for his solo segment, yelling "How DARE you!", he pushes Kitten back and positions himself between his captain and his opponent. It's so sudden that Kitten visibly reels from it and takes a second to regain his balance. *Kitten* *wasn't* *expecting* *that:* so much of the song appears choreographed with the Custodes singing as a chorus, moving in unison, or continuing each other's lines, but he was taken by surprise when his underling took over the argument and declared, "He does not need proof: he's the Emperor's Word!" In that segment, Hammurabi wasn't asserting the Emperor's authority: physically and verbally, he was defending *Kitten.* It's a wonderful bit of foreshadowing to the pep talk that they all give him at 19:34. Although they serve the Emperor, it's not Him on Earth that they're guarding in that moment. It's only when the Fabricator-General calls Kitten absurd that Hammurabi reacts with indignation, and everyone joins in. And then they threaten to call the *Emperor* to back up *Kitten.* Glorious.

One thing I love about TTS is how its writers and voice actors managed to give every character, even side-characters, personality and character development. Episodes 27 + 28 introduced us to Lockwarden, Hammurabi and Santodes and managed with but a few dialogue lines and scenes to instantly flesh them out as characters with distinct personalities and you instantly "get" what kind of person they are, from the moment you hear Lockwarden's "my dude". Hammurabi the gay queen, Lockwarden the gay "cool daddy", Santodes the hulking teddybear stripper Dreadnought. And not only do they appreciate Kitten for who he is, they are all _protective_ of their Captain-General just as much as he cares for _them_ (while still being loyal to their Emperor). What a contrast to Game Workshop trying to depict all Custodes (except maybe the rare "named protagonist" like Valdor or Trajann Valoris) as emotionless, personality-less, _boring_ biological "automatons" with zero interests except "serving the Emperor" who are not supposed to have grown a personality in 11.000 years so that fans don't give a crap if the author of some WH40K novel slaughters hundreds or thousands of "faceless" Custodians as background to some battle scene. Kitten and the Fabulous Custodes will always be my favorites of course, but I liked Magnus from the moment he burst out of that nullbox, full of indignation. Heck, even the Ecclisiarch as the "only sane man" among the High Lords chamber is so relatable.
