TRAITOR PRIMARCHS - Ruinous Monarchs | Warhammer 40k Lore

In this compilation transmission we shall elucidate the Traitor Primarchs.
The Generals of His imperium, the imposing sons of the Emperor serve as the pinnacle of Human endeavor and lead by example during the era of the Great Crusade.
Now corrupted beyond redemption, with the fall of the Warmaster to the thrall of the Ruinous Powers, his kin would be all too willing to surrender their humanity in exchange for the fell powers of Chaos.

The Traitors Primarchs were legendary for the amount of destruction they brought against the Imperium and even after ten thousand years since the Imperium hasn’t recovered from the Horus Heresy, and what worse is that they are still alive and much more powerful for they serve the Ruinous Powers for their eternal war against each other and the Emperor.

Dude what are you smoking. Cause I want some of that. Conrad couldn't even carry Corvus's nutsack. Especially now that he is some sort of uncorrupted demon prince tearing through the warp after Lorgar and all the rest living traitor primarchs and their legions!

[@sebulller]

Magnus was arrogant. Take hes first captain the sorcoror known as Ahzek Ahriman the very same as Magnus... you should defo read the books than. Magnus after Nikya was well had to be sanctioned cause he freaking made Demons come to terra... Than we have so many other things... He was arrogant and a fool... He even got a chance more from the Emperor cause the tried to break into the throne room itself! yet he had to sacrifice hes entire legion cause they where lost! But he could have choosen to do so... insted he fell to chaos cause he was a fool... Ahzek Ahriman is a splitting imiage of magnus in their personality... wich is rather hillarious. eavrything Magnus did was to Disobey the Emperor time and time again. Than we have Ahzek Ahriman who did exactly the same thing. I wonder why they get along so well.

[@theophiledumont3291]

​@@sebulller Hello, so your portrayal of magnus is a bit lacking nuance. Put the shoes of magnus for a second. He learns of the incoming betrayal of horus. What do you do ? Wait till that happens ? Send a message throught normal means that most likely will never reach the emperor that his favorite son has betrayed him ? No you got fucking power just like your father you use them to show all that it is usefull and save the galaxy. For the scene when the emperor gives a second chance to magnus you miss the entire point. How cruel of a father must you be to tell your son to sacrifice his own to regain your place ? Furthermore sons that he gifter magnus ... that magnus saved from the flesh change at the price of his own left eye . The very sons that are the last memory of your homeworld that you father doomed by sending leeman russ (yes he was tricked by horus but magnus doesn't know that) No you fucking refuse this abusive father who destroyed your dreams, banned your people and censored your planet ! Truth is magnus was playing by tzeentch strings all along. And the emperor wasn't smart enought to outplay tzeentch. Magnus isn't to blame the emperor is. He created a psychic legion and forbid them to use their power. He didn't tell magnus of the chaos gods the only one who could very possibly meet them and was the easiest to corrupt. He sent the bitter enemy of magnus to get him to terra. He didn't listen to magnus when he used his power to inform the emperor. He used malcador to provoke magnus twice. In essence the thousand sons didn't betrayed the emperor, the emperor betrayed magnus and the thousand sons. Do i need to mention that magnus was supposed to be a battery for the webway project. So to conclude magnus was wrong and made many mistake but in truth the emperor is equally if not more responsible than him and is a cruel abusive father to magnus.

@@phazoneatermetroid77 It's such a stupid meme at this point, Magnus having good intentions doesn't absolve him from wrongful doing. Magnus did wrong, in his arrogance he thought he knew best. Ironically the most "right" thing Magnus did was not to sacrifice his sons to absolve himself from his own actions.

[@filteredjc4653]

I blame the Emperor more than Chaos for most of these. Most of the traitors you go 'what did he think was going to happen?'. Burned Lorgar's city, refused to listen to Magnus (or tell him about the dangers of sorcery), allowed Angron's troops to die on Nuceria, took Mortarion's moment of triumph away, allowed Perturabo to get away with murder, and forgot to mention the perils of the Warp to any of them. You hardly need foresight to predict the outcome.

[@dunkelwalde695]

Heretic.

[@crim1188]

Lorgar got several strongly worded cease and desist orders so thats on him Fair on Magnus Angron was a lost cause either way that would have gone traitor no matter what he did Mortarion was such a collossal, petty cunt that he would've found some stupid grudge to hold anyway Perturabo did a stupid but the planet was in rebellion, it was wasteful but in no way traitorous and fully in Perty's rights. Perty pushed himself into the traitor side due to his absurd insecurity and pettiness. The only way Emps gets to keep Perty is letting him build the palace Fulgrim he wasnt there to see him prounce around with a demon sword Curze is Curze Horus well, just daddy issues innit Alpharius is loyal Barring Magnus and Angron he did well with all traitor primarchs

[@simeonhodge5692]

For me it's Magnus. One of the emperor's most faithful sons (of course after lorgar..and we know how THAT went) not only to his father but to his own sons as well which is why he ended up being labeled a traitor as he was when he was just trying to do what was right. #MAGNUSDIDNOTHINGWRONG

[@headlibrarian1996]

It was amazing that Nuceria doesn't appear to have been a Chaos planet, and the original Butcher's Nails do not appear to have been a Chaos artifact, even though Nuceria seems an obvious choice for a Khorne-controlled planet. As we don't have the event from Angron's point of view it is unclear if his ascension was voluntary, or even if that was necessary for it to happen. Did Khorne communicate with him? It's also unclear if the Nails, in his now daemonic form, are merely a reflection of his self-image, like Fulgrim's Laer-like form is, or if they actually still cause pain and disassociation. The latter (eternal suffering) is certainly the sort of thing that Chaos loves.

[@jeambeam3173]

Just to clear up some of your misconceptions Angron did in fact not have a choice to ascend it's something Lorgar specifically did to him as the Butchers Nails would kill him and I'd say if by original you mean Angrons Buthers Nails they probably were destroyed when he turned into a Daemon. If you mean the original prototype a big misconception you have is thinking Nuceria had anything to do with Chaos. 40k goes out of its way to show that not every terrible planet or civilization or war is caused by Chaos or Xeno trickery. Sometimes people are just evil. Also pretty sure Angron killed every person on Nuceria as he did return once and i wouldn't think Angron would be the type of person to recreate his Daemon world into his home world so Nuceria as it once was is basically gone forever either blown or or quarantined from the rest of the Imperium after the HH

[@kierranbrooks7306]

@@jeambeam3173 yeah Angron and Lorgar go back to Nuceria during the Heresy to try and find more information on how to remove the nails, Angron however lands on the spot where the Emperor stole him from and sees the bones of his old comrades scattered on the ground and hears how people call him a coward for leaving and then in the resulting rage he wipes put most of the people on the planet. The nails themselves are probably some piece of dark age tech, in my head cannon they were rushed into production to be fitted to people fighting against the men of iron, I mean it would make a lot of sense, they'd have been imperfect seeing as they were rushed, foot soldiers wouldn't live long against men of iron so no research into their removal would have ever been done AND more importantly the war of iron wpuld have maybe been one of the ONLY times during the golden age where enraged soldiers would be a boon, because before the men of iron turned they were the ones fighting wars, not humanity.

@@kierranbrooks7306 I know this but little mistake they didn't work properly because they were ment for humans. Not Astartes nor Primarch. Could have been made to be used against Men of Iron but there's no evidence of it

[@kierranbrooks7306]

@@jeambeam3173 oh yeah there's no hard evidence but I feel it makes sense/ fits into the timeline nicely, I mean golden age humanity weren't really fighting their own battles up until the war of iron so it wouldn't have made much sense to produce something designed to make a person into an anger fueled killing machine, whereas when the war started they would have been in a rush to send ANYTHING with even the smallest chance of working out there as quickly as possible, including something that would turn a relatively peaceful people into killing machines. As for the design part, I agree woth you somewhat in that we know that Angron 'couldn't' have the nails removed because of how they interacted with his primarch physiology but I don't think it's too far of a stretch to imagine that no way to remove them from anyone was ever REALLY devised. Again though it's mostly just headcannon on my part and like you say there's little evidence for most of it other than maybe slightly convenient time frames.

I can't help but like Perturabo, if he wasn't present at the siege of Terra there's a very good chance that Rogal Dorn would have held out long enough for Bobby G to break the siege before the emperor resorted to boarding the vengeful spirit meaning that without Perturabo the emperor and Sanguinius and Malchador would still be alive

[@dombz8968]

Didn't the ability to see the eye of terror have a degenerative effect on his mental stability? I can't recall. But I feel like i remember it being mentioned that it caused much of his paranoia and spite. If so, he's no less tragic as Angron. It's just Perty's situation wasn't really seen or spoken of. When it was, he was made to feel even more crazy. So he doesn't bring it up again. And so people tend to forget that part.

@TheEmperorsChampion964 Oh I get you and I agree. I was just adding on cause he gets a lot of shit from people in the fandom. While often deserved, it also seems to often be for the wrong reasons. He's the mf that gets shit done, and, while he's petty, there was an underlying cause of that issue that gets overlooked both in story and irl.

[@RSBurgener]

Yes, the fandom has believed the memes about petulant Perturabo, forgetting that in that "tantrum" scene, he's literally a teenager. No, most people don't want to look into the character deeply enough to see why he might be the way that he is. Or they just dismiss it away. The Eye of Terror watching Perturabo from the sky is what shaped his character to a great degree. It isn't spelled out anywhere in the lore, but it's heavily implied. I think it's a good metaphor for depression and anxiety, a mental health condition many people deal with, one that really affects their behavior and their outlook. I've got a dad and a grandfather with a lot of Perturabo in them, and I think that was the cause for them.

[@ZeroNumerous]

Perturabo was always a bitter and spiteful traitor. Even without seeing the Eye of Terror he believes himself to be above and beyond normal people as a child, grew up with that idea in his head, and only had it fostered by Dammekos. He's never happy with anything he's given. Perturabo is in that special class of primarch who would never switch sides, alongside Sanguinius, Dorn, and Magnus. He could never be anything but a traitor because he's too bitter and petty to ever be happy as a loyalist. People will do a lot of Perturabo apologia, blame the Eye, the Emperor, a lack of recognition, and a thousand other things. But the fact is: Perturabo is a shitty person by nature. His innate quality is bitter envy. He is someone to be pitied, but never given leeway. Because he chose to be as he is. A lot of Perturabo apologists will forget Sanguinius knew his fate from the first day he laid eyes upon the Emperor, knew where and how he would die from day 1, and never once thought to turn traitor. He never let envy over the brothers that lived longer, spite about his lot in the world, or depression over his immutable fate break him. Perturabo allowed all of those things to not only win, but he chose to embrace them. Perturabo is a perfect example of how circumstances and your own nature are never the sole defining factor of who you are. You can choose to be better. You can choose to be Sanguinius, instead of letting your inner Perturabo win.

All Roads Lead Back To The Remembrancer

[@Gazza-eo3ei]

I love how out of all of them only 3 had any sort of competence near the end of everything, even then they were very flawed. Perturabo was a strategic genius and master tactician but also a manchild who sometimes killed his men because they spoke back to him or failed him due to circumstances they couldn't control. Mortarion was a pretty solid commander but his arrogance and need to constantly prove he and his legions endurance constantly came back to bite him in the back with high casualties, predictable tactics and inability to adapt. Horus is an interesting one, before his fall i honestly can't really fault him as a commander or a leader, sure he was insecure and arrogant, but not in the damning way of other traitor primarchs. He was a genius strategist, his great charisma was effective at inspiring loyalty and courage in others, and he was a powerful warrior. If I had been in the emperors position horus is the one I would have chosen for warmaster. For the start of the heresy he remained broadly the same and was still an effective leader, but after a while he became far more arrogant, his charisma and ability to bring others to his side fell drastically. Perturabo had to basically carry the siege of terra on his back instead of Horus and he became a meat suit for chaos

Arkon Land took a look with Big E at the excruciatum in his head, it was killing Angron but keeping him alive. These guys didn't have a chance, even alpharious who never left terra and was raised by his dad and uncle's Malchy and valdor turned out to be a jerk. Demigods with bigger ego's had warp fuckery in their very essence were doomed. They were designed to fall eventually by design. Only Angron with half his brain missing was as human as they got. The emperor was a despot. Lorgar wanted the truth and he found it, only successful arc in 40k.

[@DJSkittles365]

I think Angron was very capable of instilling humanity in his other brothers.

[@patrickkenny8672]

Wait wouldn’t Horus be the one loss though? After the Emperor deleted his soul?

[@justinjunker1399]

I’ve only been into 40k lore for about a year, I’m three books into the heresy, and I genuinely think Erebus is the only irredeemable. Without Erebus’s influence I even think Lorgar could’ve been saved after Monarchia burned.

[@justinjunker1399]

Also, in Arks of Omen The Lion redeems several fallen angels, surely the same could’ve been done for the other traitor legions, even if their Primarch’s were gone

Perturabo hard carried the heresy then pulled a Cartman. Mortarion definitely low-key carried. Konrad was a fuckin menace but seemingly wasn't too committed to chaos itself and proceeded to bitch out. Magnus fucked up, fucked over, got fucked up, then fucked off. Angron raged harder than ever before. Fulgrim fucked. Lorgar preached. Alpharius died. Horus is no more.

[@DirtyMardi]

Fulgriffith did nothing wrong

[@relight6931]

Well, while I won't go into whether your mental profile of Lorgar as being correct,as I know little of BPD group of dissorders.. One thing where I definettly wouldn't agree is his talk with Roubute at Kalth.. By then, he is mad at Roubute for both being present when Emperor finally shows him the error of his ways,but also burn the "perfect city".. His whole dialogue their is basicly gloating for being so many steps ahead of Roubute, as far as what is happening.. His whole shock was, snickering, while being actually very very proud of himself of planning out and now enacting one of a kind, surprise attack that will cost the ultramarines so so dearly.. Also his line, I am not the same being you fought on Istvan.. I also find to be him saying I am not the weakly just primarch I was then. You might be projecting a little bit or reading too much into it.. Some of these dialogs are made for greater drama.. When analyzing characters from fiction and trying to asign actual real mental disorders, I think keeping track of their actions and decisions, also the reasons why the do them, might be more useful then focusing on dialogs.. Esoecially in a space sci fi epic where you absolutly need those kinds of dialogs before some major action. Liked the video, all the same.. I am prone to over analyzing stuff aswell so this obsession is something very known to me..

[@TheSpicyLeg]

Whenever it comes to the traitors, I never can quite understand the theory that if the Emperor simply “dads better” everything could be avoided. Horus had the most time with the Emperor, and had the most time to play catch and sit at the dinner table or whatever it is people think the Emperor should have done. Didn’t, uh, turn out great. Really, the idea seems to be that superhuman demigods that are already adults can be just coached into being good guys after decades or centuries of nonsense. It would be like having a son that is stolen from you the day he is born, and you find him after 25 years of abuse and all kinds of messed up stuff, only to have people knock your parenting when he gets a DUI the next day. If the Primarchs were all raised with the Emperor from their pods to adulthood and beyond, I could see a better turnout. But it isn’t like the Emperor had apple tags on them and just said screw it, I’ll catch them later.

Every story of a primarchs fall from grace makes me hate Erebus even more.

[@SubduedRadical]

I feel like a couple of them pretty much are just evil and deserve what they get, but some were not. Angeron's situation just sucked all around. Logar tried doing what he thought was right, and even Gilliman thought the punishment was probably too harsh, not to mention THE ENTIRE IMPERIUM ended up doing the same thing anyway, and he'd be considered a hero having done so 1,000 years later. And Magnus is probably the worst here. Yeah, "ignored warnings", but Big E used Psychic/Warp powers and wasn't condemned/called evil. Magnus was trying to save Humanity but was condemned for it. Granted, that was by Horus, the Emperor only ordered his arrest for trial, but let's not pretend the trial would have been kind. He even first was willing to die with all his men, but only due to the callous brutality of Russ' basically inquisition level destruction on his planet and the innocent people there, and the pleas of his sons, did Magnus step up. And Russ just kept trying to follow the orders he WANTED to follow, brutally murdering, leading to Magnus surrendering at last to the Changer of Ways. And even when the Emperor offered him an out, the only reason he refused was because his sons would be left to suffering and death if he did so. Then you get cases like the Night Lord who's...just kind of an ass, lol

Ah yes, the guy that deteriorated into an insane starved corpse, and got his head chopped off by an assassin that he could have easily taken out, because he was so done with living, somehow was less screwed than his traitor brothers. Lol The point of Konrads story is he was the most pathetic and suffered the most. They all suffered but not even close to as much as Curze. He was the craziest even without butcher’s nails in his head.
