21:02 Kitten: Primarch Vulkan. I would serious advise that you stop hugging him. His spine, while incorporeal still recoils at the touch since it was broken by Leman Russ. Magnus:I PUNCHED OUT ONE OF HIS HEARTS! WHY DOES NOBODY REMEMBER THAT?! Well some of us do.

[@sonofthewolfguardianofthef1214]

Death versus temporary inconvenience take your pick. Magnes is easily in my top three, but he is a very disappointing fighter.

[@mattthomp8344]

you disappointed me when you did mentioned the quote that Magnus made, at the battle of The Fang. 'Do you remember what you said to me, brother? Do you remember what you said to me as we fought before the Pyramid of Photep? Do you remember the words you used? I do. As I recall, your face was tortured. Imagine that - the Master of the Wolves, his ferocity twisted into grief. And yet you still carried out your duty. You always did what was asked of you. So loyal. So tenacious. Truly you were the attack dog of the Emperor. You took no pleasure in what you did. I knew that then, and I know it now. But all things change, my brother. I'm not the same as I was, and you're... well, let us not mention where you are now.' -Daemon Primarch Magnus the Red to a statue of Leman Russ, during the Battle of the Fang it makes you feel for Magnus and Leman just a little more :_:

[@quazarKiragon]

magnus is probably the most tragic of all the primarchs, didnt join chaos of his own volition, but was forced into a desperate situation to save what he could consider his home and family, prospero coulda been seen as a world that humanity would have sought out as the goal for a truly enlightened step up from the barbaric origins, knowledge is power indeed, but power not used correctly can overwhelm its wielder, i sincerely hope that there is room for his redemption, even if he is a poor gullible wise dope, but i guess its just a matter of getting his soul back, which may mean the emperor would have to ascend possibly for that to happen...if that would happen

[@tyguy6296]

always felt bad for magnus... absolutely one of the most tragic primarchs. his sacrifices for his legion speak to a true love for his children. his attempt to warn the emperor, while misguided, were from a place of true love and loyalty. his willingness to allow the space wolves to burn his homeworld to the ground... he truly was one of the emperors most loyal sons. he didn't deserve to fall as far as he did

[@Kaikojo]

I'm new and I'm learning about all the Primarchs. Hearing Magnus' backstory has easily shot him to my favourite Primarch thus far. I 100% agree, he turned to chaos due to love and loyalty. To his people, his sons, to knowledge, and to his father, the Emperor. He also seems actually secular, studying Warp like a science, instead of the fanatic religion the Emperor called 'Secularity.'

[@fumarc4501]

Prospero was my favorite Pre-Heresy world. A planet of scholars, teachers, artists, and archivists. Everything that Imperium of the 42nd millennium stands against.

I even got an uninitiated person in 40k to read thousand sons with only a 3 minute crash course to general 40k lore and they absolutely loved it.

[@italianspartacus]

yeah only no one makes a meat pie out of children.. god DAMN you Titus Andronicus!

[@DoctorM42]

Things you had missed: Magnus never actually ascended to daemonhood like other Chaos Primarchs. His souls started fracturing when he took Tzeetnches power to break through the Emp's web-way seals and continued fracturing until Russ broke his spine. When Magnus took the deal with Tzeentch to save his legion, his body was destroyed and shards of his soul spread all over the Warp. The biggest, evilest and the most psychically powerful shard went with his legion to Sortarius and quickly started hunting and absorbing other shards in a quest to regain it's wholesomeness - this shard is later come to be known as a Crimson King. Other shards representing different aspects of Magnus's personality tethered themselves to places and people important to him - the one we see in "Scars" was left on Prospero, but was later rabsorbed into CK when Jagahatai banished him, one hid inside Ahriman's soul, one went to Terra and so on. Malkador later detected terran shard of Magnus (which represented his compassion and purity) and merged it with a loyalist TS Revuel Arvida into a gestalt consiousness who called itself Janus and become one of the foundong members of the Grey Knights. In M32 Ahriman led and invasion on Soritarius meant to overthrow insane incomplete Crimson King and undo the Rubrik, but he failed, although in the process CK sucked the shard of Magnus out of Ahriman's soul and become much less incomplete, much saner and considerably less evil. At this point when CK was close enough to original to call itself Magnus he made his first attack on Fenris and went back to hunting small wayward shards of his soul. At M42 Janus reamains the only shard Magnus haven't yet reabsorbed, as it's kept safe on Titan (and is probably the source of GK total incorruptibility). Gods only know what would happen to GK, TS and Magnus himself when and if he finally reabsorbs Janus and restors his "goodness". My money is Magny would make a face-heel turn and return to the mMperium, while the entirety of GK chapter suddenly collapses to corruption as their wards and seals break without the source that powered them and basically takes TS spot of Tzeentch's chosen.

[@sindrimyr5351]

Mezmerro I thought the Father shard (Ahrimans shard) and janus shard were destroyed. The first because CK didnt want to be influenced by it and only absorbed its power. And the secind was lost forever with the death of Janus.... As far as I remember.

[@DoctorM42]

Well, you're right about Ahriman's shard in a way - CK absorbed it but blocked it's effects on his psyche. As for Janus, he may have a tombstone on Titan, but there's no confirmation that he actually died at some point. Even if he did, shards of primarch's souls don't just fade - it may still be tethered to his corpse or something.

[@jackssmirkingrevenge9365]

when you look at that as a whole, it seems blatantly clear that magnus was easily the most powerful imperial being behind big e with all these ostensibly incredibly formidable parts of a whole and with what we know about the deadly potential behind emps' psychic blasts, who seems to be the only true rival to the red's in the entire imperium - surely no other primarch could hope to lay a hand on him in a true balls-out encounter

Russ tried to spare Magus and pleaded with him to surrender and come to Terra despite tge orders to kill them but magnus did not reply sealing their fate. Russ even morned for magnus. Why morne someone you hate when your victorious? He distrusted psychers but doesn't hate them. Also a massive difference between psychers and sorcerers. The difference between them is magics were banned not psychic powers

[@markbrigandi7497]

Nice job on Magnus- his story is really pretty deep, and tragic. I think the term you were looking for in there is a “self-fulfilling prophecy “. And your pronunciation of Ahriman sounds like I always thought- “Are-ee-mon”, or when you’re in a hurry, “Are-ih-mun”. Thanks for the great video- looking forward to the next one- I don’t care who’s next, as long as you eventually do them all! Keep up the good work, and best wishes for the New Year- =][=

[@KoltoMephet]

It wasn't at all "Bolterporn", but it had some awesome and unusual action. Interesting new stuff about the 40k universe in general (Hrud seem terrifying now). And so much insight into the Iron Warriors and Perturabo. He seems a much more whole character after reading Perturabo than he did after I had read Angel Exterminatus. But. it is perhaps mostly a "feels" book. I still can't decide if i despise Perturabo or pity him. I think that might have been the point. I'd absolutely recommend it, especially if you want to really get a dig into his (and his legion's) personality and formative moments.

Prospero is not a death world but it does have an infestation of minor warp creatures that feed on psychic energy that couldn't be seen with a naked eye but they could be sensed by powerful psykers. Magnus had managed block them off from the materium. And of course they returned after Prospero was burned. Though minor warp creatures they could be lethal.

[@Cr33d127]

Great videos so far dude! I'm looking forward to the video on Angron. Have you thought of making a series on the right hand men of the Primarchs? Ahriman's decent into madness is super interesting to read.

i have and i haven't.. like i really enjoy them, but maybe it's better as one big, super videos. "First Captains of the Legions" and touch on every one of them. Some are pretty scant while others are these massive epochs haha. any suggestions!?

[@Cr33d127]

Depending on pre- or post-Heresy, if it's pre-Heresy maybe focus on the Organization along with notable members to fill in that gap of missing information. So for those chapters that have a huge amount of fluff it can be covered, but then you can still talk about the not so known legions (*ahem* Alpha Legion *ahem*). If you do post-Heresy, I'd focus on the aligned Champions separately. Then do a vid on the big boys of the undivided traitor legions. Luckily the pre-Heresy stuff for Loyalists is easy to find if you decide to do some videos of them as well. Regardless, I look forward to your future content!

[@Pewling]

Sparty, important question that needs an important and proper answer before I start blowing up houses at random in your neighbourhood.. Ahem - One of my many foolish brothers claim that the Black Templars don't use psykers at all? That they claim them all to be witches? D: I mean I know that they hate them and all, but surely they'd put their powers to use like the other chapters?

[@jerec1267]

nope the templars are more insane emperor worshipping than the inquisition and sisters of battle combined they still follow the decree of nicea and because they are sons of dorn they have a stick up their arse so large it touches their brain so they are not going to break that decree for anything short of their father or the emperor himself.

[@italianspartacus]

unfortunately, in recent lore, the black templars NO LONGER use psykers.. they went from being just an overly zealous chapter of the Imperial Fists that was trying to atone for the self-imposed failures of the Legion by going on a non-stop crusade.... to an extension of.... the office of the imerium i can't think of... that believes, just as you said, that psykers are witches to be burned :/

I think Fulgrim was the first Daemon Primarch, cause he betrayed Perturabo in that whole Angel Exterminatus thing. Him or Angron during the Shadow Crusade

[@italianspartacus]

well i was of that mindset too .. i mean you read when he kills Ferrus Manus- that's NOT HIM, but i guess i'm calling Daemon Primarch someone who has fully ascended to Daemon Prince, which Fulgrim most assuredly had not!.... YET!

[@peanusbenis5631]

Nate Cummings I thought it happened when Magnus bargained to have Tzeentch save his life (he was gravely injured and rendered immobile by Russ), his sons and Prospero. Tzeentch’s price was that Magnus became a daemon because at that point the chaos god has complete control of the primarch. Once Mag accepted he and Tizca and the remaining TSons were on a planet in the Eye of Terror and Magnus was fully healed as a daemon prince.

[@nightsage217]

In the 1st image, Is that drop pod equivalent for the rubics? *drops lasgun* If the webway project is successful, does it mean Imperium at large denies any chaos materialism? (except the ones close to eye of terror)

[@papanurgle8393]

It's a silver tower of Tzeentch, each Exalted Sorcerer has their personal one and in the Siege of the Fenris system they drive hundreds of them into it's surface to unload traitor hordes, Daemons and Tzaangors, they also bombard Fenris with them. And kind of, it limits it but the birth of Slaanesh tells us that even the webway does not starve chaos completely, it however unites humanity and skips the risks of warp based travel.

[@italianspartacus]

not necessarily.. the way that the webway project was supposed to go was that man would get access to the webway and the imperium would never deal with dabbling with the immaterium, this would significantly reduce the Ruinous Powers' strength until the Emperor could deal with them

Thank you for the correction on that! It's really hard ot keep it straight when I'm not actively reading THAT book or THIS part of the lore. Everything blurs into one across all of the editions!

Sadly he's a character in a universe where the magic you use is directly tied to morality, using the wrong kind of magic for too long makes you irredeemably evil. End of story.

Your primarch series is really good work! You give off a very casual yet friendly tone to your lore videos. It's like talking to a friend. Can't wait for the next one!

[@italianspartacus]

thank you very much that man!! i'm so glad you enjoyed it! :) more goodies to come!

[@stevengilbert4068]

It was so devastating to me how magnus was written into this wonderfully elaborate universe after the absurd judgement of his father portraying him as this arrogant know It all. The way magnus and his are described the thousand sons would have been unstoppable and magnus easily should have defeated russ or any other primarch save the angel. Heart breaking story of what have should of the greatest primarch in warhammer period. Who ever wrote magnus into this evil demon garbage should be ashamed of themselves for making him into something that doesn't reflect his character at all. With that being said still an awesome piece of literature

LEAVE MAGNUS ALONE!

Of course not, he just shattered the hope of using the Webway through his own hubris and almost single-handedly ensured chaos will inevitably win. He's not as bad as Lorgar, Horus, or Nagash, but he's no saint either
