@@martincibik3997 I could be wrong but I remember it being an average of 1000 souls per day. With it fluctuating, and to keep in mind these are not just normal souls, the more powerful a psyker the more potent a soul they have. So it is a lot of power for Emps. Then adding that the galactic rift has empowered all Psykers and as he is not only the most powerful psyker but also been fed with psykers and has been worshpped for so long he might be on the precipice of godhood or at least so powerful directly effecting the material plain should be trivial.

I'm a firm believer that The Emperor didn't make the Primarchs equally. The Lord of the First was feared by Horus for a reason. And now that he has returned we will see why.

[@frankcastle9691]

He will win with plot armor.

[@jasonburke1671]

I mean, its not hard to tell that not every primarch was made equally. One look at Angron against Alpharius or Curze and the Lion could tell you that. And if the Lions "tactical plans" in the horus heresy books (such as leaving inwit to die after stripping its defenders to go burn more homeworlds; or demanding supreme command of a crusade with Dorn and Fulgrim despite being the most recently found) show us anything of him back then; there wasent a lot for Horus to fear

[@BM-wf9uf]

@@jasonburke1671 The Lion was famous for his tactical genius throughout the great Crusade. He even surpassed Horus with campaign victories. He was only surpassed after the Rangdan Xenocide which the Dark Angels saw the worst of. His biggest faults in the Crusade and Heresy were his inability to trust and his secretive and taciturn nature.

[@jasonburke1671]

@@BM-wf9uf its numbering his honors by the number of compliances is exactly why Dorn begins to have a distaste for the Lion during the Occluda Noctis campaign. If it were merely about collecting compliances and tallying your victories, surely the UM would be the first among equals or even the Fists whom had a wall kilometers long with their honors. As for his faults in the heresy; none of what you mentioned changes the fact there isent really a tactical reason to strip away defenders (of whom belong to another legion mind you) from a stellar empire with large shipyards the traitors can turn on the imperium...to go planet bombing. There has been quite a difference between how GW wants the Lion to be seen in 30k, and how Black Library has portrayed him.

[@cirospedale7511]

Oh yeah. The Emperor definitely made sure he kept some of the best ones in his calculation, think of a Horus Heresy where Angron stayed loyal but in turn someone like Sanguinius turned. On one side you got the brute who can work with no one and might kill you if you look at him wrong, on the other you have possibly the strongest Primarch with arguably too little flaws.

This was a perfect display of both primarchs abilities. I was afraid that it would have been a one sided fight to show off the Lion's skill to hype his new model.

I notice a pattern, When a Loyalist primarch returns, he inherits a piece of his father's wargear: Guilliman: emperor's sword. Johnson: emperor's shield. The emperor had other wargear, that power claw and a Mastercraft bolter as well as the apollinian spear, which was once the property of valdor, who has gone missing. If corvus returns, no doubt he will get that claw. If dorn returns, his Armour will have been reforged which incorporates the fragmented remains of the emperor's or maybe an emperor's powerfist That acts as his prosthetic hand.

Thats one of the effects of the aftermath of the fall of Cadia, the warp is buffing a lot of people. The Emperor for example he was able to revive Guilliam after Mortarion killed him with the godblight plague and managed to burn the garden of Nurgle and even hurt him. Khorne through the carnage Angron was doing in the 2nd book of Arks of Omen, the moment he destroyed the beacon that was trying to banish him back in to the warp, Khorne enhanced Angron strike that destroyed the planet where the Inquisition had the beacon. The aftermath of that strike was the murder curse that infected fleet Quartus and almost everyone got infected and turned into mindless berserkers. Only the Grey Knights, Sisters of Silence, Custodes and unlucky imperial assets that found themselves in the middle of one of the most brutal free for all matches were inmune of it, too bad the Imperium declared that fleet lost and everyone "Excomunicate Traitoris" so watch out in the future for those Chaos primaris space marines.

With the Lion back, the dark angels are gonna be the ultimate legion again. Just have this question, its been in the back of my mind for awhile now. I mean when the Lion was created by the Emperor, is there any lore about him being awake and doing things for the Emperor, like its the Emperor but he was careful in planning everything so... what i really mean is after creating the Lion was he ever tested in the field by the Emperor before others were created, i mean before he was scattered with his brothers. That might also explain why he immediately bent the knee and knew what he had to do and his place in Emperors plan.

Dante: "Finally, death" Dante: "Is that the fucking Lion"

[@totalnerd5674]

Recently I pondered a potential game regarding the Fallen. Imagine if a strategy game started out right when the Lion returned to Caliban, and you take command of a fleet part of Luther's orbital defense consisting of one Battlebarge, an Imperial cruiser armed with boarding torpedoes, and two escorts, and you take over a few thousand Dark Angels with the fleet, and are ordered to engage the Lion's fleet. But, before the fleet can strike at the Lion, the warp storm sweeps all the Fallen through time and space directly into the 41st Millennium. Here, the Fallen are greeted by the horrors of the new reality of the Imperium, slowly uncover the truth about Luther, and are greeted by the game's main antagonistic force in the form of a new Chaos warband that has a few Chaos Fallen among their ranks. The first objective is to have the fleet survive against the Chaos Space Marines and Orks, before the Fallen fleet receives a signal from the Lion himself for all the still loyal Fallen to rejoin him at the ruins of Caliban. Now the new objective is to battle through the Warband to get as many Marines safely to Caliban as possible. Mechanics would be that you have a very limited amount of resource. You have the fleet you start with, and cannot build new ships. You also have the few space marines at the start, and can recruit more but very slowly. Orks can produce ships and soldiers at will, but Chaos can only recruit men. There are also a few planetary missions. The game is mostly about preserving forces for the most important battles, and choosing fights carefully. Is this any good?

[@Piotrus2019]

Imo the Lion's return was the best possible (Primarchs). Precisely because of his relationship with Guilliman (apart from the fact that he is a great character - especially because of his transformation). Aside from the community's sympathy for a given Primarch, the return of Sanguinius, Russ, Dorn, etc. would not be as exciting as the return of Lion because of his relationship with Guilliman. PS. The possible return of Russ will be more interesting because of the already working Lion. The possible return of Sangunius (but much less likely if at all) will be more interesting due to the relationship with Lion and Guilliman.

[@BM-wf9uf]

I don't think Sanguinius should come back. Some Primarchs need to stay dead. Guilliman and The Lion's relationship does make for interesting lore. I don't think there will be much conflict between them however. The Lion has certainly grown as a character.

Though he didn't survive I view the Lion more akin to Fingolfin. When your sons about to die you call out the baddest mofo the other side has to offer and challenge them to one on one combat.

[@jamesneese7663]

For one brief moment of absolute clarity, Angeron stopped in his rampage as he distinctly heard off in the distance the somber, morose notes to the tune "The Rains of Castemere " and knew without question exactly who was coming, despite the sheer impossibility of it. Ten thousand years had not diminished that one's cold, condescending demeanor. Even the roaring commands of Khorne went silent. This was no longer a matter of the Great Game. This was now very very personal and could only end in one Skull set upon the pinnacle of the Iro....I meant Brass Throne.

I was never a big fan of the Lion before his return. Compared to his Youthful 30k counterpart, this lion felt more seasoned and mature which made me enjoy his stories far more. I was was rooting for the old man to do his very best.

[@attemptedunkindness3632]

It's hard to say Angron is a badass when Sanguinius banished Angron to the warp by pulling his hair.

[@Piotrus2019]

He would have won if he hadn't brought his face closer to Sangunius (enjoying the fact that he impaled him). Then Sanguinius grabbed him by the Butcher Nails connected to his brain. It's not that weak imo.

Just found your channel. OUTSTANDING video and content. You have earned my subscription Ser. It is great to see the Lion of Caliban back. After 10,000 years the loyal sons are returning. Who do you think will be next? Vulkan? The Kagan? Or dare I hope Russ

[@mctbaggins2084]

I listened to a reading of the battle between Angron and the Lion by Baldermort and enjoyed the whole thing. What a battle.

[@goodtimesgamingtm1316]

I’m still really upset that apparently zero words were shared between them it feels to rushed like Guillimans return. Didn’t have to be much but I would’ve loved to see Angron actually hesitate with a slightly surprised “impossible” from him. And from the Lion just something merciless, like “sanguinius felt sorrow for you, regret, a bond of a brotherhood never truly forged. I feel none of these things. You are a monster to be slain, so you shall be.”

[@SandmanofTerra]

Yeah I get what you mean, I think when it comes to gathering storm and arks of omen, because they're not novels, they just don't get that kind of detail as well

[@licensed_beheader]

I think it makes sense. Angron is more of a rabid dog and it's stated in almost all his scenes that after he starts swinging his axe the butcher's nails go berserk to the point he literally can't think and by the time he fought the lion he had been slaughtering for hours. "All I hear is the pounding and pounding and pounding of the the nails". He only vaguely remembered the lion but his bloodlust stamped all his thoughts.

[@goodtimesgamingtm1316]

@@timcusack9388 see I actually disagree I feel like the dark imperium novels focused on so many other characters besides Guilliman. They really should’ve been from just his point of view and then they could use the Dawn of Fire books to talk about other people’s perspectives on him and the galaxy like they are.

[@goodtimesgamingtm1316]

@@licensed_beheader I can see that but apart of kinda wishes along with them being Angron back that they’d show that he actually has more control over his rage and isn’t just some mindless berserker anymore which would make him one of the most dangerous enemies the imperium has to face. Would just make his character way more interesting plus I know some people aren’t fans of it but I love the primarch interactions especially after 10,000 years. Alternatively though I would’ve at least liked something from the Lion like some trash talk. Like “look at you you’re a beast.” Not that the Lion would hesitate hes the last one who would but he would had some great lines in the heresy

[@goodtimesgamingtm1316]

@@SandmanofTerra that’s understandable and something that really bothers me when GW does especially lately. Seems like they’re putting super interesting and pivotal events in codexes and the like while the novels tell these usually subpar stories. (Talking about books like helbrecht, the new Uriel Ventris book, and the Krieg Novel) just a weird difference from the heresy I guess which throws me off

It is indeed, the Lion can enter "mirror Caliban" a special realm that he uses to jump about across planets. It's found there. Definitely recommend the book!

[@pyrobandit]

from the audio readings I've listened to, the thing I probably like the most with the lions return is his whole thing with the Fallen, now turned risen, coming to a sort of terms with the sons whom he thought lost, but now fight at his side with renewed purpose.

[@SandmanofTerra]

It's awesome!

[@dentkort]

Angron must be the weakest primarch at this point. With how dirty the writers are doing him, it's a matter of time before he gets killed by a random comissar. I wish GW just killed him off for good so that Kharn could take over. At least Kharn is actually cool and wins fights.

It's like GW has to apologize to Chaos characters for always losing in lore by making them OP on the table top. The Lion will never lose a duel in the lore but he is by far the weakest primarch on the table. Even Girlyman beats him in the current rules.

[@mis8866]

I mean he has literal plot armor, like literally every loyalist character in the setting, or are we just forgetting that Calgar can 1hit a Avatar of Khaine, but it took corrupted Fulgrim an entire battle to beat one. The lion didn't deflect angrons blows. The Emperors shield did. Without it the Lion would have died 100%. Without plot armor the Imperium would have fell ages ago.
