@@entropicflux8849 I think they are talking abt Corax pre heresy. Corax is one of the last found and his legion was already Horus’ bitch for most of the crusade. He wasn’t centered much in the great crusade and was more often a part of, but not the focus of the story. So pre heresy Corax has some lore but that’s only if you count in the stories where he’s in a story with a Mc.

[@jasonpatrignani4717]

Pretty sure that Jaghatai's moniker of 'War Hawk" is in reference to the way that the white scars fight. They like punishing speed and lightning strikes with pin-point focus which is similar to a Hawk hunting prey. Also, Jaghatai had a reputation for being incredibly observant. Choosing most times to observe most interactions with little input before displaying how insanely aware of the situation he was and then not only being right in his observations but also moving swiftly and relentlessly into action.... not unlike ...a hawk hunting.... I mean tjust look at the awesome burns he delivers to Fulgrim and Mortarian and you get a good idea of just how fast his strikes can be. Or, in another example, when he is gifted his Battleship and the Adept is explaining everything to him like he would to a 3 year old, and after letting the adept prattle on to the point of almost redundancy, Jaghatai basically rewrites the entirety of the ship's construction in the span of like 2 minutes also explaining the science and specs to be followed in the engine construction whilest watching smoke begin to spill out of said adept's aural orifices.

No it doesn't, stop spreading BS. Cyclops literally means 'round-eye'. it doesn't even make sense in 40k as it does not refer to someone with one eye but only someone with one singular large round eye. It is far more specific that you are pretending. A cyclops is a specific mythical creature from Greek legend. it is not anyone with one eye. 40k was stupid to call Magnus a cyclops but you are even worse for adding even more definitions to the word.

The Khan's nickname of Warhawk might come from actual Mongolian culture of training falcons and hawks to act as hunting dogs and scouts.

[@g.sergiusfidenas6650]

Yep, the Avenging Son is a dope nickname; I don't think they were going for cool or original points with the names since among the Legions themselves there is a lot of redundancy as far as naming conventions go.

[@AdamSamson1991]

4:14 His nickname is explained in Brotherhood of the Storm, the first story in Legacies of Betrayal. The reason why you did not find the reference is because White Scar marines don't call him Warhawk, but Berkut, which is the equivalent in Chogorian. From chapter 6 of that story: "‘I am told, by those who know, he is not like his brothers,’ said Yesugei. ‘He can be hard to read, even for us. On Chogoris we use hunting raptors. We call them berkut. His soul is one of theirs: far-ranging, restless. He may say things that seem strange. You may think he mocks you.’ [...] ‘Remember only this,’ he said. ‘A berkut never forget the shape of the hunt. In the end it always comes back to the hand that loosed it.’" 8:31 No he wasn't. Mortarion also tried and failed to topple his homeworld's tyrant (his adoptive father) as a bet with the Emperor, failed, and watched helplessly as Big E sorted it out like it was no big deal.

[@majorkill]

Mortarion would have succeeded eventually, the emperor rushed him to mess with him. He had already taken out 99% of the worlds tyrants and united it under his leadership. Angron was doomed to die and was unable To get even close to taking his planet. The custodes discuss in lore about Angron being the only one who couldn’t overtake his world

[@AdamSamson1991]

@@majorkill I concede that point: Mortarion was at least able to rally people behind him for his revolution, as the Night Haunter was only able to make people fear him into temporary obedience. I hope the reference for the Berkut nickname was useful, though.

Here's a dumb idea for a video: What would happen if the traitor Primarchs went loyalist. And I mean that in the sense like what if the Fulgrim Clone got out, or what if Angron's soul was given a new body like Fulgrim? And what would it take to make these things happen? Just... what would the setting look like if suddenly you had an Angron without the butcher's nails in his head squaring up against his legion? Obviously a lot of these guys couldn't align with the Empire even if they wanted to. But I think it'd be cool to think about.

[@ianharrison5758]

imagine what the setting would look like if somehow, some way one of the lost primarchs returned. I even have a possible way for it to happen. The custodes are keeping a being only known as Subject 11 in the Dark Cells. We know basically nothing abt subject 11 but I refuse to believe the 11th primarch being one of the lost, and subject 11 being imprisoned on terra of all places is a coincidence. Now obviously it’s more likely subject 11 is a wildly overpowered xeno that needed to be contained bc it can’t be killed or something like that, but imagine how much wacky shit could happen if a brand new, really confused primarch everyone thought was dead called up guilleman for a chat

Logos refers to arguments or discourse based on facts and figures and not emotions (pathos). It is the root of the word 'logic'. I googled it and saw the exact words you wrote but you clearly don't understand them and are just copying word for word and you took it out of context in such a way that your comment doesn't even make sense.

I just realized I have listened to you for more than 2 years at least.

The calendar sits in my desk, right next to my minis. I pull it out only in the presence of my fellow nerds. It's gotten shocked reactions all the way to nerds falling to their knees in worship. It's a strange experience

[@AlexQuartararo]

Praetorian is probably not a great nickname since they killed so many emperors

[@2SSSR2]

What about the Emperor himself? He also has a few ones. Master of Mankind, The Anathema, God-Emperor, Empy, Ems, Emprah.

[@Iceisnice1]

Big E

[@lolbots686]

Brother you require a pin.

[@goldenspear5715]

i Read the Jaghati primarch novel and his storm caller gave a solid reason for his nickname. it was because like a warhawk, he could perceive his foe from a great distance, and strike them with the speed of lightining, and the wrath of a storm.

[@MrJoneschase]

“The Avenging Bean Counter” 😂😂😂 Night Lords sense of humor is the best.

[@beafraidofinsectattack]

Wow Majorkill I didn't expect you to call us out like that so hard in the first 10 seconds mate 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@NobodyDungeons]

My nickname from my parents was pumpkin head because I often sat in the way of things with my head blocking stuff. I also had a big head as a baby.

[@iloveplayingpr]

Maybe make a video about unique secrets the Emperor kept from individual Primarchs?

[@inquisitormaddox8581]

Hope one day will get a Space marine Capabilities video

[@paulandreig.sahagun34]

1:52 Inquisitor: I WILL CONFISCATE THESE HERESY!

[@Channel-23s]

That’s one Primarch you don’t want to fight having to face 30K Asartes you can’t see the pinnacle of stealth I’d personally bend the knee to the Raven Lord/Shadow Lord/Deliverer

[@jovpal5685]

Khan warhawk is probably because Mongolians also use "eagles" to hunt and given that the White Scars like a fast pace attacks it's possible they are basically just birds

[@ONInonymous]

Another nickname for Leman Russ is 'The Emperor's Dog' as he typically did all the dirty work for daddy.

[@EmperorPr0tects]

Good vid, next could we see some more militarum content.

[@functional1ty]

you dont get to choose your nickname, only your calendar :)

[@ericcadman1329]

Got a calendar for my brother's birthday, he really likes the... art His favorite is the commissar and he'll be looking forward to using the signed 2023 calendar to... keep track of the dates

[@ferrin1892]

I wish I could tell stories half as good as you

[@sirloinsteakwithpeppercorn7353]

Angron got done dirty in the primarch series, his moniker in the title is just 'Slave of Nuceria'

[@onewowen]

Magnus the Red Vulkan the Black .

[@chillskeleton6529]

magnus being called "the crimson king" is also a reference to the band "king crimson"

[@j.l.boekestein3201]

Darn Majordude, got the A3 calender. Excellent! I'll never have another dry Warhammer dream again... :D

[@Pyrykala]

I would guess that Alpharius' and Oregon's "last configuration" nickname would be reference to the facts that Alpha and Omega are the first and last letter of Greek alphabet and therefore together being the beginning and the end. Also in Aplharius head of the hydra novel it is claimed that Alpharius was actually the first found primarch and omegrn was the last.

[@nonso3396]

"We'll go chronologically", then skips the hydra, Luprical & the wolf king to start with the 1st.. Ahh Majorkill 😅

[@TK199999]

The Warhawk was also the name of the Hawks used by Mongol generals as pets.
