[@dewaynemcclure]

[@cheeseburger12]

@@datrickster8674 the thing is, they've mostly laid low the last 10k years. That is a long time. Now, if we theorize both primarchs are dead, it's very likely that different cells have conflicting ideas of what the primary mission is yet are still loyal to each other. That would be kind of funny and fit the memes. The other older theory was Alpharious was evil and killed and the other brother trying to control a corrupted Legion. But the primarch book hints that's unlikely that Alpharious could have turned. One way or another, Alpharious is working for the Imperium. If he is alive.

If I'm remembering this correctly, you forgot to mention that Big E left Angron's family (Or at least what he considered a family) to die in battle, rather than come down and actually save them all.

[@DankworthBalthazar]

Yeah, one of the writers thought he was real clever and made the "Eye of Terra" (as in the eye of the aquila head that has it's eye) a major imperial symbol before the Eye of Terror was ever explored or named. Supposed to symbolize that the Emperor is always watching or something. Horus used a stylized version as his sigil, which became the chaos-star eye used by chaos marines all over the galaxy, which is why it's fallen out of favor in the Imperium. Sanguinius used it too: had a ton of them all over his armor, but he modified the pupil to look like a blood drop. Look at the famous picture of Big E confronting Horus over Hawkboy's corpse. Hawkboy has the blood-drop eye on his shoulder and waist, while Horus has the normal one on his chest and waist with the Chaos version hanging between his legs.

One interesting point of the Word Bearers kneeling, it's possible that the Emperor didn't do it with overwhelming psychic might but the main cause for their kneeling was precisely because they looked to him as a god which in turn greatly increased the power he had over them.

I think Fulgrim's possession allowed for the corruption of his soul. While a Primarch possess really strong willpower and fortitude they can still be corrupted by chaos, so when the Daemon took control of him that's when his soul was corrupted by Slaanesh and while through his willpower he was able to beat the Daemon the damage had already been done. Whilst his fall was one of the dumbest I think that his fate was signed the moment he picked up the sword, it was the corruption that didn't allow him to put down the sword, that's how Chaos works and you know this better than anyone, it's a subtle and slow process, some are able to resist it but not all are as incorruptible.

Angron is both simultaneously the most and least believable fall.

Lol that MPMD reference

[@kaltaron1284]

Any concerns that the Emperor would toss aside one if His creations, deem it dangerous and destroy it, was clearly delusional and the Space Marines had never seen such a thing. What do you mean with "Thunder Warriors". There never was such a thing.

[@mcarrowtime7095]

weren’t the thunder warriors all unstable? Basically curze just a few steps ahead?

[@kaltaron1284]

@@mcarrowtime7095 Not in the beginning but IIRC they developed brain cancer and became unstable. So instead of trying to find a cure the big E just had them hunted down and replaced with his new favourite toy.

[@angelusumbra5741]

Regardless of the changes in lore over the years, the shortest answers are a whole lot of tragedy and pain. Yeah some were more arguably justified than others in their falls, but they all are were tragic. Especially the four who fell fully to a dark god. No one deserves Chaos taking their soul. No one. And although I doubt they can be saved, I hope they can all be released through death like Horus was. Oblivion is better than an eternity of Chaos.

13:48 To be fair, I don't think many got that either. I thought the point was just to f'ck him up and punish him. Not what gods would do. Probably because you wouldn't worship a sadistic god, if you are not a maso.

Lorgars motive was to get more choir boys Angrons motive was to not get aborted or being too angry Fulgrims motive was to get some chaos hussy Alpharius Omegons motive was to... uhhh Horus' motive was to gain more white child authority and save his receding hairline Perturabos motive was to 1 up Rogal Dorn and build something for once Mortarions motive was to smell something decent Konrad Curzes motive was to be as edgy as possible Magnus' motive was to be a good boy (redeem my man)

[@thatotherguy8138]

Alpharius' motive for joining Chaos and the Rebellion was to Save the Empire and the Emperor from a Worse Fate. Which was close to what Omegon claimed was Alpharius' motivations when Omegon was impersonating Alpharius after Alpharius was killed by Dorn, but Omegon thought that Alpharius was trying to dodge the prophesy too by only appearing to join Chaos. Which is also what Alpharius said when he was impersonating a Alpha Legion Astartes while serving Omegon who was impersonating Alpharius after Alpharius was killed by Dorn, except he thought that it was actually joining Chaos to dodge the prophesy, not just appearing to join Chaos. And what Omegon said was Alpharius' motivations when Omegon was disagreeing with Alpharius and deciding to actually rebel against the Emperor because Horus was the best way to stop that prophesy, and that after a few hundred years of observation, Alpharius could easily take out Horus right after, no Chaos required. The way Alpharius reacted to Omegon's description of his motivation was to say that Chaos was required, and that it had to be a true pledge of loyalty to chaos so that his hand would be steady, and that Omegon would be able to pull him back from Chaos when the deed was done. Which is what the Astartes who was impersonating Alpharius told Omegon when Omegon was impersonating an Astartes, and ordering Omegon to fall to Chaos with those under his direct command. But Omegon, while impersonating an Astartes, realized that he would need to make sure that not all of his Astartes fell to Chaos, so he impersonated an Astartes impersonating Alpharius to order half of his most loyal squad to only appear to fall to Chaos but to NOT fall to Chaos, so that they could save Alpharius - who was himself - when the time was right. That Astartes who was impersonating Omegon impersonating Alpharius thought this plan wasn't quite up to their usual quality, and so decided to involve a few normal humans in it just in case things went south, because that Astartes realized he was impersonating Omegon (who didn't exist) impersonating Alpharius, and wasn't quite certain that Omegons plans had enough plans within those plans within those plans to truly live up to the Alpha Legion standards. tl;dr : Somewhere along the way, the Alpha Legion forgot that Alpharius was killed by Dorn.

Fulgrim was also perceiving events differently because of the influence along with everyone that entered the temple with the sword. He couldn’t see that Manus wasn’t messing up his plan but actually fkn saving them because he was oblivious to what was actually about to happen. (They were engaged in ship battle against dark age tech ships and fulgrim was cocky because they were “old”) Fulgrim tried to stop his swing and then let his body be possessed.

[@seprithlicastia463]

I think of Konrad Curze in the same why I do Alpharius. Both were loyal to the Emperor, but saw joining the traitors as being "what he would want them to do". The Night Haunter Primarch book has Konrad confront an effigy of the Emperor and explain as such -- Konrad thought the Emperor wanted him to be the villain of the story, so he was.

[@fameasser123]

At around 12:05 what do you mean by Horus losing his hair in being one of the catalysts that set him off to join Chaos and the dark side? Did he go bald naturally, or was some evil entity the cause of his hair loss? Like is the case in most pieces of media where ones looks start to decay and degrade to the point where you start looking many decades older or what 'tis the reason for his baldness and/or even the mention of his baldingness?
