Magnus the big red battery 😢

[@codyclark6779]

Yeah but I personally feel like, he would be able to leave the throne and wouldn't be screaming in pain. As he wouldn't have ripped open the web way and ruined the wards. So he could literally have Ahriman and his bois man the chair the cock pit so to speak. And the rest of his legion to some degree, spread amongst the web way just always tending the wards etc. Magnus was sooooo key :(

[@theophiledumont3291]

The thousand sons really have a touching and tragic story. They wanted to elevate humanity with knowledge. Yet they were burned by the ignorant too afraid to see the light. And magnus is one of the best primarch simply cause he couldn't condemn his sons when the emperor asked him. In the end they were not traitor, they were the betrayed. Betrayed by the emperor at nikea, betrayed by russ. Betrayed by humanity who hated psyker, betrayed by the imperium....

[@emperorconstantine1.361]

Betrayed by Horus above all! He changed Russ’s orders from capture to kill.

[@craynak]

@@emperorconstantine1.361 Glad you got that comment in, Magnus could been the key, which is why Horus screwed him over and basically took him out of the Seige of Terra.

[@Thetemplar33]

Sounds a lot like heresy to me

[@Icspiders247]

I like how this comment totally glosses over Magnus' faults.

[@drgonzo305]

Magnus got a little “too cool” with human sacrifice to send out emails and got a little too chummy with warp entities

[@Matt-md5yt]

I'm so glad you talked about these guys. My heart goes out to them and their loyal members

[@cypher4783]

The Thousand Son's story really is a warning about the difference between wisdom and knowledge

What is the art at 22:07 and who made it

[@bluegeniusw1186]

The Blood Ravens older brothers.

[@SleepingKing]

we certainly tried to mold them.

[@ImperatorIke573]

Magnus: "I punched out one of his HEARTS!!! WHY DOES EVERYBODY FORGET THIS?!"

[@synergy8879]

what irritates me the most was that leman disobeyed and ignored a direct order from the EMPEROR and instead decided that horus’ order to kill magnus was instead the order to follow, he didn’t check why horus gave him the order, he didn’t stop to consider that maybe the emperors orders were absolute and he didn’t stop to consider that it was suspicious that horus wanted magnus dead. but no, he just wanted to kill the psyker, get it over with and go back home to fuck his chihuahua.

[@smileyface6583]

and do you wanna know the worst part? the absolute worst part?? primarchs…. are supposed to be the smartest things created from mankind. they’re supposed to know everything, or at least have a very good understanding of every concept, every skill, and every trade, and yet, they are dumber than even the dumbest human beings when it comes to their actions…

[@ramonserna8089]

It was the emperor fault for sending the idiot of Leman instead of Lionel or Giliman.

[@Wizley15]

Horus was the Warmaster and greatly beloved by all Primarchs. I think most of them took his word without a second thought. Not to defend Russ, I am a Thousand Sons player

[@frankiehernandez6232]

​​@@Wizley15 I know he was the warmaster but Lenan let his hatred cloud his judgement because if the emperor sent lets sat Corvus corax who equally hated warp users he would have definitely said "are you sure about this, I want to speak with father"

[@theaussie8349]

@@ramonserna8089 neither legion were available to do so, and Leman had a history of dealing with other space marines (see his role in the purging of the 2nd and 11th Legions from the Imperium’s official history)

[@anidioticeyeball1953]

At long last, I'm happy that you're covering the Thousand Sons, so underrated.

[@mn46842]

How did you not mention that the emperor offered to forgive magnus on terra, and magnus wanted to accept but the emperor demanded he abandon the thousand sons so he refused. Such a big point to miss

[@joshley1320]

Because that was in the primarch video

[@IroncladQuzar]

I'm not sure if any Space Wolves fans feel it, but there really is little way to argue that Leman Russ was gunning for the TSons to be executed. My Bois just out there using their Papa's gifts, and a bunch of space furries called them cringe and not very awoo, demanding them to be cancelled. Yeah, they turn into bird monsters every now and then. But the legion who turns into literal wolves and have communion with warp entities don't have much ground to stand on here. Magnus did nothing wrong!

[@nestorgamer9746]

Both the Russ and Magnus were both manipulated by Horus in the end They had no choice the in the matter

[@vazzeg]

I was waiting so much for you to do a video on the Thousand Sons. They're my favorite! PS: Magnus did nothing wrong.

Join us for this latest installment of "The True Enemy were the Emperor's Piss Poor Decisions All Along."

Mutated wolves are controllable the warp is not.

[@AlphaOmegon]

@@Vandakai And next you are telling me rune priest draw power from Fenris right?

[@Vandakai]

And who holds the rune priests accountable?? The very space wolves that would kill them as much they would pursue and kill any other that has any attachment to the warp if the need to do so risen... THE ONLY REASON WHY they continue to exist is because everyone knows that if it came to pass the space wolves would kill them.. @@AlphaOmegon

[@dwaynehicks6838]

The most interesting traitor legion , definitely the coolest looking.

[@inquisitorgarza312]

The Thousand Sons were by far one of the most powerful legion and their psykers power were rival to none and they were warrior scholars who perhaps been a shining beacon on how humanity future can be molded, but their only weakness was their arrogance and pride that they alone understood the powers of the warp and that nothing can threaten them in the immaterial.

[@TheMustaFox]

Na, their weakness was a bad father figure

[@darko-man8549]

Magnus did a lot wrong but he deserved better - almost all the cards were against him and did not deserve his final outcome. Russ can suck it

[@X3Cerberus]

Really impressed that you mentioned the Vulcan and Magnus duel. Shows how up to date on the lore you are

[@ElenaWraithSevatarion]

Yessssssssss. I'm such a fangirl, I'm sorry😢. I love this channel. You and warrior Tier are my favorite ones 🖤

[@darko-man8549]

The webway projext wasn’t completely ruined - the Emperor wanted Magnus to help him fix it - hence the desire to not see him killed

[@lukasz.adamski]

Thousand Sons are the best example of Emperor's dubious morality and unjust.

[@lord_inquisitor_flietch]

Imma say it... Magnus DID nothing wrong (kinda)

[@darkhighwayman1757]

Ya end up with giant chicken feet...ya F*cked up

[@chaplainwierddream]

Magnus "incapacitated" Malcador. Quite a tame word used there.

[@mustaproductionsperez6726]

Very good narrated videos. The effort is very much noticed throughout. What I like the most about your style is ending the videos with the beautiful "The Chapel" song from Dawn of War 1 (for when a video about the origins of the Blood Ravens, and Angelos too?) as you narrate the epilogue of the current theme, for then dropping the content of the next "transmission".

[@thelion2751]

Cowards? Russ and his bs always piss me off calling their powers bad and the use of librarians a bad choice is such hypocrite thing to say because he is one of them! The rune priest are still librarians but father needed to hear the stupidity from mortarion and russ both hypocrites and worse of all both of them are connected to the warp,to this day this make my blood boil

The artwork is gorgeous and the 1000 sons have style. Each one is unique and usually extremely powerfull. They must very fun to draw. You can not draw a 1000 sons Space Marine without making up the entire background life story for them. The Corvide should be bffs with the Blood Raven, BTW.

[@joejackson2662]

Amazing video and love the lore of the Thousand Sons and Magnus. They are the force i would least like to fight due to no real counter to Sorcery and Psychic powers unless you are Custodes working with Sisters of Silence.

Looking for a new chaos army to build so thought why not the Thousand Sons……I’ve always admired the Magnus the Red Model & have an already impressive.Plague Marine & Nurgle Daemon army built but unpainted & just as impressive Black Legion army….for the emperor I’ve got an ever growing primaris only 2nd company Ultramarines & possibly Fulminators, Adepta Sororitas, Ad Mech & finally……. A sizeable Cadian army…..I just don’t think I have the space to build my bombed out city battlefield. Once built I wanna put a glass case over it…….

[@Demothones]

Great video but, if you are going to talk about the Thousand Sons, then you have to talk about Iskandor kayon. Maybe he’ll get his own video?

they were named the thousands sons because thats was all that was left ,(because of the flesh change ) when magnus was found

Ngl, I like the thousand sons, but they are the embodiment of the saying :the path for hell is made of good intentions. Magnus was an idiot and he lead his Legion to ruin by meddling with powers he was so arrogant that he thought he had mastered them whereas he was just a tool.

[@HeartlessNinny1]

Remember Tizca!

[@jwb_666]

Magnus did nothing wrong and Big E is a jerk. Also small correction the first 1000 marines were not made on the moon but on terra well before the conquest of Luna

[@shadowborn1456]

Thousand sons the persians of 40k

[@Cooler571]

Magnus was the best primarch, would have been SO cool if they stayed loyalist

[@NiskRanThawll]

So he could power the golden throne for eternity? What a fate.... Magnus was created with limitless power via an attachment to the warp with the intent to be the focus for the golden throne, allowing the terra webway portal to remain stable without the intrusion of the demonic legions. This connection is what fuelled his desire to understand the warp, he never knew his destined role. Irony that it was this connection magnus broke in warning of horus' betrayal. Magnus chose choas out of betrayal against him, his legion and glorious home planet. Had it not been for tizca and the perfect city monarchia (word bearers) the heresy probably wouldn't have happened, and russ or alpharius/omegon would have purged Angron and Mortarion...

One of Magnus' biggest problems was that he used the powers of the warp so liberally thinking that there would be no drawbacks or that the denizens of it having nothing but altruistic intentions. The very definition of naive.

[@lolbots686]

The husk turned knight looked to the wolf,hunter and avenger. The air was tense. "...can you give us some privacy?" The wolf said breaking the silence. The 2 eyed him. "I...dont find that wise." Guiliman said. "Please. 10 minutes." The lion sighed. "5 minutes. If theres trouble before then,you know what happens." Guiliman relented,then left them. "Go on. Get it out of your system. Noone can hear us exactly." Russ spoke bluntly. "Fine. Your a hypocrite." "Yes." "Your short sighted, bloodthirsty and incapable of seeing past your own faults." "...that i am." "You slaughtered everyone on prospero. My sons. Men. Women and children." "......i did." "And my other half has tried time and again to enact the vengeance i long for." "And you dont? Why magnus? Why are you,even if your noble shard not consumed by vengeance?" Psychic power glowed between his hands,but then,he breathed. "Because my vengeance is meaningless when you are not the one who orchestrated my fall. Make no mistake you pulled the trigger,and the concequences will haunt you leman. But who made you pull that trigger is another matter entirely. And besides...i hate to admit it,but youve changed. Youve become something i probably should have before i refused salvation to keep my sons alive." "What,a better psyker? Dont remind me." "No. You admitted you were wrong. It was too late for me." "So what do you plan to do. Kill me or your own sons perhaps?" "No." The 1st grey knight spoke resolute "Im going to rebuild. I will start from scratch and build a legion of wayward sons redeemed and made in equal measure. Ive failed my brothers. I destroyed my legion and sons,and doomed our father to what should have been my fate. But i can still,try to do good." The ancient kings ice blue eyes watered. Even if it wasnt fully Magnus,it was still him at his best. This knight was left of magnus. As the 2 re entered,the lion nodded. "So i was right after all. It is good to see you back if but a shard,magnus." "I agree. But we have matters to atend to...and i have a vengeance long overdue with that snake who orchestrated all of this." To be continued
