Vaults of Terra - (Horus Heresy) Minor Conflicts Collection 1

[@Tredbull]

Awesome to see you back Ed. With more and more channels falling apart or produces low quality stuff, the Vaults of Terra continues to deliver high quality material. Quality beats quantity. Keep up the good work.

[@lonerangerv1224]

how do you run out of ammunition on a forge world?

[@Redaisenjack]

If you don't run out of heretics before you run out of ammunition.

[@Ciclopotis]

How is there famine is certain places of this world when there's so much food around?

[@DarkBattleMage0407]

Simply the enemy controls the sources of raw materials the forges require to produce said ammunition. No raw materials, no ammunition.

[@lonerangerv1224]

don't forge worlds have their own resources in addition to off-world imports. And it seem like they ran out of ammo in the initial stages of the land fighting as it is what allowed Chaos to break out of the beachhead, which needs to happen in a few days at the most in real life. This means that a whole world dedicated to industrial production could do what individual countries could do in WW1 even before their production lines were mobilised. I would not be surprised if the answer was that the mechaniciium were not producing before the invasion and had not changed production because the paper work got lost or for technotheology.

[@DarkBattleMage0407]

Callum Nicolson Some Forge Worlds do others from what I read have exhausted all planetside resources, relying on imports from mining worlds and orbital sources.

[@morbidmike3456]

Looking forward to many more Horus Heresy vids about the smaller battles. Great Work Ed. Chosen of Chaos For Sure.

[@kevinj.2952]

Hell yeah, a sincere thank you for all the work Ed!!

[@rakeman9523]

Its kinda off topic and kinda not but could you do a video on what sort of afterlife chaos offers? What happens when a person is waiting to be revived by the power of chaos ect?

[@lazyc0mmander277]

Afterlife for any race in the warhammer 40k is kinda unclear so it would be nice to get a video on different account of what people think or remember.

[@reaperofzombies9698]

devoured by their god if at all similar to slaneesh. though as francis said its unclear for most. id assume its still. unpleasant. unless your chosen for deamonhood i guess.

[@HumanoidCableDreads]

Depends on the god. Nurgle is the most likely to revive you but in a horrific and painful state. Slaanesh is just going to eat your soul no matter what unless you are daemon prince material.

[@hope121107]

These small battles are great. Thank you.

[@Starbug360]

what happened to the Chaos Marines that detected back to the Imperial side?

[@LesterRamos]

It's possible some of them became Black Shields for the Deathwatch?

[@DEMONX62]

Jeff Baker possibly obsorbed by the ultras and formed the silver skulls *this is what Ed said on another comment

[@tyrantrobgod8844]

The books are the best I have ever read and I read a lot of books of different genres. The mix of authors makes it second to none.

[@pyrosauria7444]

Iron Warriors seem to love to switch sides apparently.

[@kyokyoniizukyo7171]

trust me, if Honsou taught me anything, 'life is unexpected and chance is the best option for promotion'

[@lazyc0mmander277]

0:25 Wait, in the first story, is it Dantioch or Crendall that had the loyalist allies?

[@VaultsOfTerra]

Dantioch

[@luisitobardajibenitez8013]

that moment you become so angry at the alpha legion you redefect back to the imperium. Do you know that happend to those iron warriors who defected back by the way?

[@VaultsOfTerra]

Most likley they were abosrbed into the Ultramarines, then went on to form the Silver Skulls chapter post heresy, although that is not wholey confirmed.

[@luisitobardajibenitez8013]

The Vaults of Terra also ed, have you seen the new edition of the white dwarf called "The fall of Cadia"? i'll give you threw guesses what happens in the new book

[@Lia-ue9kw]

What happend to the loyalist elements of the traitor legions? Also, were there any traitor elements in the loyal legions?

[@MinkxiTes]

Stefan B as far as I know there were traitor elements. for example the white scars were.. split and had a internal battle. one side trying to sway the Khan to horus and the other trying to stop it.

[@reaperofzombies9698]

BrittelAngel5 hours ago They became apart of the strike force that was amassing around the dreadnought Cassian Vaughn, who was the first lord commander of the Salamanders legion, which was made up of Salamander, Iron Hand and Raven Guard legionaries, the Iron Warrior's commander becoming Cassian's second in command, this wiki link explains it all. warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Cassian_Vaughn

[@Golmov_the_Wretched]

One of the 30K sourcebooks outright states that there were loyalist and traitors from every legion. Examples it uses were traitor Space Wolves and loyalist Night Lords for instance. Those groups that were swimming against the current with their parent legion were small in the context of the whole HH though. Many became Black Shields, deliberately hiding their old heraldry. Other's wore their heraldry or original heraldry proudly and continued on crusades of their own without co-ordination with other allied forces. Some groups joined existing formations of those that were opposed to their parent legion. Post Heresy we don't really have solid information on what happened to those groups. It's so heavily implied that the Blood Ravens are 1K Sons that I think we can almost assume that's confirmed. It's implied that the Silver Skulls are actually descendants of the Iron Warriors rather than the Ultramarines. For a while there was speculation that the Caracadons were Night Lords, although the last book hints that they're actually Terran Raven Guard.

[@marcusaustralius2416]

I know it isn't heresy per se, but the battle for Ark Reach Secundus and the subsequent seige of Shrike always fascinated me

[@primachpepe8597]

Iron within, Iron Without..

[@primachpepe8597]

its funny that they were constantly thrown to forefront of the conflicts and despite heavy losses pulled through victorious despite the abandonment by their "allies".. if only Fulgrim were not involved with Perturabo, as in all honesty his legion far out performed the Imperial Fists in most instances.. and if it were not for the loses they suffered during the campaigns leading up to the battle of Terra, the outcome would have been drastically different.. as stated in the Angel Exterminatus, the Fists were little more than parade boys - showing up to steal the glory from the Iron Warriors who had fought for every bloody inch. Venerated as "siege masters" is all a lie, Dorn is a pragmatic fool and whilst all chastise the Lord of Iron - it was his legions strength that turned the tide in many battles.

[@primachpepe8597]

***** i agree that he is a jerk but that is part of the base of his character.. he is as unforgiving and as brutal as both his upbringing and the treatment he received from his brothers and the emperor.. but his respect for feats of engineering and the care evident in his works is s stark contrast to this..

[@bladestormviking]

gotta love a guy who meets his legion, does a full audit of their actions to date and goes "YOU MEN DO NOT IMPRESS ME............ decimation should fix that". he is a "no strikes" kind of guy, because that's what his method of warfare demands in order to succeed. it's admirable and respectable, even if brutal. as a wise man once said "...ain't war hell?"

[@primachpepe8597]

;D yip. Nothing is as effective as fear in knowing that your failure means death, either at the hands of the enemy or by your brothers. one does not need perfection, rather efficiency. The siege breakers were seen as dull and grey, and yet it is they who dismantled the strongest of enemies fortresses down.. also fuck the Alpha Legion

[@bladestormviking]

at least it got them out of having to lug imperial army around 8^)>

[@LustWaffel]

A lore video? Sweet Emperor be praised!

[@andrewsek7485]

MOREEEEEEE!!!!!! Full scope disection of Alaxxes and Yarant warzones please!

[@TheMrFishnDucks]

Great episode.

[@peterthooft3823]

what happened to the Iron warriors who converted back to the loyalist side?

[@keithlund1282]

do you have a video regarding the Thramus Crusade? There must have a big fight between the Dark Angels and the Night Lords but there hasn't been a book about it .

[@OverlordZephyros]

WAIT those tanks look different...

[@HumanoidCableDreads]

This is exactly why Iron Warriors are my favorite traitor legion.

[@kyokyoniizukyo7171]

I will betray the betrayers so I can then betray the loyalists again! ^w^

[@JoeAnthonyBat]

man I wish you did more uploads xD

[@MrBensella]

great overview! is possible to write the books from where the info is from? they sounds awsome!

[@NaughtyIoki]

Let's take a look at some of the lesser battles, let's start with the: Great Siege of Lesser Damantyne. You've you to love 40k, where all but the most epic of battles are pathetically small and inconsequential in the grand scheme of things.

[@radokost]

MOAR!

[@Orical001]

Thanks maaaateeee....

[@StylesV13]

Interesting that traitor Iron Warriors defected and became loyalists again. What happened to those Iron Warriors? Were they accepted back or punished for their original betrayal? The Alpha Legion also likes to skip out on battles they are supposed to be helping with. Possible sign they are loyal after all?

[@Propaani]

Alpha legion has their own goals. They most definately are not loyal.

[@ranekeisenkralle8265]

Hey there. Would you mind also giving some information about which book of the Horus Heresy to find the respective battles in if people want to read more about that? I remember having read about the first of the battles you mentioned, but the others I either don't remember or haven't read about yet.

[@Em34ME]

could you do a video on the traitor legions?

[@VaultsOfTerra]

They will all get their own videos in my chaos arc, after my Horus Heresy arc, was there something specific you needed to know now?

[@Em34ME]

The Vaults of Terra yeah, do space marines need to eat? Are there dedicated chefs on their ships?

[@mateuszborkowski22]

do you have a link to the first picture

[@alexandereden8911]

Wait, so there were actually a lot of loyalist iron warriors?

[@varangian95]

Not many, at the end. Dantioch's company were some of the first to start worshiping the emperor, and were the only loyalist iron warriors known to have survived Pertuabo's purge. The loyalists ended up on Ultramar, and later proved key to the defence of Imperium Secundus. Those that survived were used as the core of the Silver Skulls, but they were do heavily diluted with Ultramarines to render the defense of the Schadenhold "The last loyal triumph of the IVth Legion."

[@alexandereden8911]

Viking18 awesome. I had no idea that's where the the silver skulls came from. thanks

[@Philipp2998]

Is there a novel about the battle of Mezoa?

[@massimo3637]

I love to use the Iron Warriors for what they are... cannon fodder.

[@strategicgamingwithaacorns2874]

So the Horus Heresy is: Istvaan III Istvaan V Signus Prime Schism of Mars Lorgar and Angron's Shadow Crusade against Ultramar Siege of Terra and some minor engagements scattered throughout. Any other ones?

[@TheHatedMan81]

John Whitesell what about the Thramas crusade with the Night Lords and Dark Angels? Or is that a minor conflict? I genuinely dont even know anymore

[@kyokyoniizukyo7171]

when you think about it, the Horus Heresy was quite small in honesty... sure the main battles where HUGE and ended up with entire legions of troops dying, but otherwise it was really locked into some 20-30 systems, with the main conflict being being Istavaan and later Sol... Mind you, I don't know exactly how large the shadow Crusade was, but the minor engagements honestly weren't that common.

[@TheHatedMan81]

carrierwave exactly, i think we're also forgetting about Tallarn and the Iron Warriors conflict there as well

[@kyokyoniizukyo7171]

Makes me wonder what the war in heaven was like, considering that it is probably going to be the last major thing that GW is going to do as a company...

[@Manuelomar2001]

that we know about. It's a big galaxy. There could have been huge traitor uprisings and entire campaigns fought in other places, but because no Astartes were involved, or because some sector capital was the target instead of Terra, we don't get any stories about them.

[@shockjockey16]

Why do you only upload like once every 3 weeks?

[@VaultsOfTerra]

Because Christmas and new years were in the way, otherwise it's once every two weeks, because I have a full time job and minimal free time.

[@HumanoidCableDreads]

I appreciate any content you provide. Your videos are the best on the subject.

[@shockjockey16]

***** Fair enough

[@shockjockey16]

HumanoidCableDreads You should try ArchWarhammer.

[@HumanoidCableDreads]

shockjockey16 Already watch his videos, for about a year now.

[@JC-ze2et]

Please do imperial knight battles

[@Arklay_98]

My idea of a minor conflict of in warhammer would be instead of millions of people fighting for weeks or years it's tens of thousands fighting for days.

[@johndonachie8272]

will you be doing the siege of terra in the long run

[@VaultsOfTerra]

Eventually, although I have covered it in other videos.

[@jipowap]

When looked at in the lense of them being secretly pro-Imperium, the Alpha Legion makes a lot more sense. How many times have they let the loyalists go, or betrayed their comrades by delay? Hell, their part in the Heresy was mostly being chased around. Did any actually fight on Terra?

[@DEMONX62]

jipowap47 I heard they where posted to defend somesort of device that was preventing or delaying some loyalist legions from reaching terra.

[@sephidude123]

Haha, the iron warriors defected back to the imperium. I wonder how the fuck that happened.

[@trolrtkorjkhgjdn]

How can you mention mezoa without mentioning autilon skorr haha? love the video though

[@Gorillaz4lyfe]

do the damnation of pythos

[@CastelDawn]

SALAMANDERS!!

[@alphaalphius277]

Love the vids! But you stress through and read so fast that your short breathing’s are the only pauses. Try to relax a bit more and don’t stress through the texts, it is not a speed test :) pause between texts. This will make it more enjoyable to listen to and non native speakers has a chance to keep up.

[@bladestormviking]

you didn't pronounce it right, his name is "Barbarus FUCKING DANTIOCH", at least according to Idriss Krendel

[@Orical001]

Thanks maaaateeee....
