A fun detail that I believe has been retconned about the Heresy is that Horus found out how the Emperor had ordered the Thunder Warriors killed when he no longer needed them, and realized not just that the same could happen to them, but that it would happen to their legions, their sons. I always liked that being a part of why he turned away, not for power, but for love of his sons

[@epaminon6196]

Interesting point of view. But as a primarch with a super-genius-level intellect, he should've been able to see the main shortcomings of such a generalist comparison of the Thunder Warriors to Big E's later creations: 1. The Thunder Warriors were a short-term solution to a short-term goal: the unification of Terra. 2. If the emperor hadn't killed off the physically and mentally unstable Thunder Warriors, said warriors would've died painful disease-ridden premature deaths anyways. 3. Killing off your own galaxy-spanning army of loyal, long-lived, highly effective super-soldiers is... Well, just plain unfeasible. Even for the emperor. 4. It would make way more sense to use them as experienced long-term sentinels of the coming galactic peace.

[@BladedEdge123]

I think in part that was why the latter parts of the "emperor with the text-to-speech" hooked me so well. It provided a version of 40K that appeal to those of us who enjoy "HopePunk" if you will over GrimDark. It was a version of the story that could produce a potentially satisfying happy ending of a sort. Honestly I think that's going to end up being, if it isn't already, a major disconnect with the fanbase. Some people want the nihilistic grimdark there is only War i.e there are no good guys and everyone's doomed concept and other fans would like to see potentially happy endings and success for the characters they invest in. More than a few people get brought into 40K via stories with more good vs Evil and potential Redemption and Mankind can maybe work through its problems and Triumph over the evil gods ect. I'm thinking stuff like the mentioned fan KZbin series but also certain video game plots or individual books. It also reminds me somewhat of "death of the author". Like even if the clear intention of the IP holders for fictional lore want it to be one way, that's not going to stop some fans from wanting something else or enjoying the headcanon of it being something different more than the official stuff. You can see that in almost every major fandom. Not to try and drag up the issues but just look at the author of Harry Potter versus a not unsizable portion of the existing fan base as one more recent example.

[@scionofdorn9101]

I really like how much they humanized him and made him a genuine hero that was misled and fell upon a doomed path. I like that about a few of the primarchs (Angron, Magnus, and Lorgar for instance). I also like that the Big E may not be the heroic messiah he is worshipped as, that he may actually be (as tyrants typically are) the actual villain.

[@davidkoudelka10]

@@BladedEdge123 Honestly as a WH40k fan, it would be nice to see a finale one day where humanity can find some semblance of peace, the elder no longer a doomed race, and the tau empire released from the Ethereals.

The thing about primarchs, is that they bring human nature to the very extremes, be they good or bad. We can see the most extreme forms of virtues in the Khan, fighting for a father he does not love against a brother he does, because he gave an oath. But then we also have the most extreme of incompetency in Mortarion, a primarch, with all his power, bested and bamboozled by his own first captain, right under his nose. It is what makes them such interesting characters.

[@scionofdorn9101]

Lorgar undermined by his own well-meaning but blind faith. Angron bitter for being denied a honorable death at the side of the only people he ever loved as family. Magnus undone by his great intellect but innocent naivete. Peturabo undone by sadness, bitterness, his own temper and brutality, and the absolute worst PTSD imaginable. Curze was literally jumping at the very shadows he inhabited and terrorized by the horror he allowed himself to become, tortured by glimpses of a future he couldn't accept that he had brought upon himself. Fulgrim was trapped by his arrogance and vanity and hidden insecurity (as narcissists often are). Etc. Each of them was a different shade of the folly of men.

[@SuperSoundtracksEX]

Konrad basically killed himself. He had precognition, which he used to justify all the horrific shift he did. He could see that he was about to be assassinated. Rather than fight back, he accepted his death, as if he fought back it would validate the theory that his visions were not set in stone and thus didn’t justify any of the horrifying atrocities he committed. He would rather die than admit he was wrong and apologize, and in many ways, he was more like his father than most realize.

[@cerberus400]

Some glossed over but important details about Alpharius Omegon is he/they was the smallest of the Primarchs, barely any taller than a standard astartes, and would often wear normal marine armor to hide among their numbers. Their gene seed was also such that Alpha Legion marines often resembled their Primarch almost exactly, looking, sounding, and moving almost exactly like their gene father. Confounding matters further, one if their war cries is "I am Alpharius," all combined makes it nigh impossible to tell if any single one of them is the real Alpharius

Alpharius (or Omegon) was actually the first to be found. The Emperor kept him a secret for years and only Malcador and Constantin Valdor knew about him.

Of all the Chaos Primarchs I think Mortarion deserves a chance at redemption. By all rights he was the only Primarch who was tricked and trapped into joining Chaos and in doing so became the very things he hated and despised the most. He hated the Emperor and empire but for far more reasonable reasons than pettiness and not getting daddy's attention like the others. If anything he cared about the people of the planets he conquered probably as much as Vulkan did while the other Primarchs only cared about the planets' resources and what the empire could take from them. He was a liberator and a chain breaker, he only ever wanted to save people from bondage while the empire simply desired to replace their chains with golden shackles. It's the height of irony that a liberator as caring as Mortarion would become an enslaver and conqueror that would've made his adoptive father absolutely proud...

Monarchia isn't the name of the planet, it is the name of Lorgar's Project (which was the capital city of a planet named Khur dedicated as a shrine to the emperor). 40k fans also usually call Jaghatai Khan either "Jaghatai" or just "the Khan". Other than that, great video TES!

[@marcpeter6155]

For Years you ve been my go to channel if i wanted to listen to something calm; i really appreciate your work. Seems like you re getting into some of your old stuff, which kinda hypes me up allready. Maybe rekindle your mythology series too? Either way, keep on keepin on buddy.

[@khaliqchou-kudu240]

Stayed up just to sleep!

[@THExRISER]

Heyy glad you decided to go back to 40K after all these years!

[@rodan9773]

HAIL TO THE HIVE. I love The Tyrinnids they are my fav Faction in Warhammer 40k i hope you make a Video on them one day. Respect and keep up the epic work.

[@4Recreational_Use_Only]

Truly hope this return to other exploring videos outside scp works out cause I love them.

Blue Boy was the most stable primarch as only he had a parent who truly loved him (Mommy's Boy) Rogal Dorn was as emotional as a rock, but even he had a grand dad who adored him. Horus also grew up with daddy E and so was one of the best primarch's, just someone who got fked over by male pattern Baldness. Omegon also grew up with daddy E and so also remained chill despite being super weird. Red One Eye was also quite stable as he and big E talked using big Brain energy, but man his curiosity and big Brain energy attitude fked him up. Lion acted autistic as he had no daddy (Except Luthor but Luthor definitely didn't attend any parent-teacher meetings so he doesn't count) Morty boy was a autistic hypocrite as he had a alien daddy who wanted to kill him. Ferrus was virtually parent less (Necron living metal doesn't count as a parent) Pretty boy fulgrim grew up amoung slaves who loved him but man he had to pick up a phallic looking sword 😢 Speedy Mongolian Khan also grew up parent less but grew up to be a sigma so he turned out fine.

So close to 1M TES! Been listening for years at this point, and not going anywhere. Although I have an SCP tattoo (half thanks to your delivery of the articles and tales)…I also love 40k, and am SO excited for your venture into this expansive universe. Do not suede TES…the fans will remain for you more than what you cover.

[@Koffeekeyz]

I can’t explain how excited I am for 40K lore🔥🔥🔥

[@shanghigh20]

I dont know how many times I have watched this. One of my fav vids from you sorry the 40k stuff not working out its good

[@SPACECOWBOY705]

Wait so my favourite lore channel is doing Warhammer now? I've always wanted to get into it but it always seemed so daunting until now

[@Argonak1]

He made a video about this 2 weeks ago.

[@SPACECOWBOY705]

​@@Argonak1Yeah I saw the SCP vs Warhammer vid... But i didn't think he would start doing readings like this for wahammer

[@daxtron2]

@@SPACECOWBOY705 he's transitioning away from solely SCP content starting with more Warhammer

[@ShloppyShmeat]

​@SPACE COWBOY there are 40k videos from years ago on this channel

[@SPACECOWBOY705]

​@@ShloppyShmeatOh so he's coming back to these... Good choice

[@erikcollatz6153]

love that youre doing warhammer now, my favorite lore guy covering my favourite universe

[@Mistychan]

The 2 "lost" primarchs were make your own character ones originally. Because of this, they can't really fit them into the lore in any way, so they just "lost" them.

[@Reepicheep-1]

Several vids and a couple books, Rob and Al are my 2 favs.

[@lostnumber08]

The prevailing headcannon in the community is that Sanguinius was actually the one to kill Horus. The Emperor had to then slay Sanguinius because he had gone completely berserk and his mind was broken over the trauma of having to kill his brother.

[@TheTrueHolyDarkness]

1:28. - Hello. I'm from the local friendly Inquisition office. Here to inform you that there were only 9 Primarchs.

[@theyoutubehammer6530]

Glad to see you back to 40k, TES. Keep it up.

[@kjracz15]

I never thought I'd be hooked into the SCP universe until this channel introduced me to it. This is going to be another rabbit hole, I guess. XD

[@firethebow]

My God Emperor someone Finnaly did it. THANK YOU. I got into 40k for the lore and universe building, but this, THIS! Is the level of complete and comprehensive I've not found anywhere else. Thank you

[@thomashanham723]

Nice content, just recently got into 40K and these videos help a lot with having a general idea what it's all about
