Who are The Risen?

[@NingenSlayerZamasu]

Iirc I think a Risen and Azrael fought alongside one another during the final Arks of Omen book. Azrael was literally quietly seething inside while the Risen laughed and patted him on the pauldron saying “Careful brother, we’re fighting together” or something on the lines of that. I know Azrael was just quietly thinking “must not kill Fallen, must respect fathers wishes”.

[@ShadowGhost0117]

Yeah, Borz basically goes “He expects you to do your duty above all else, just as he reminded us to”, and Azrael was so conflicted that he nearly decks him in the face.

[@OrkishEngineering]

admodai: Interrogate? Book??? FALLEN?! REPEEEEEEENT!!!!

[@Markis2bi4]

The Risen and The Lion remind me of an estranged father meeting up with his equally estranged family, and now being older, wiser, and partly tired of being an asshole, wants to reconnect and do better than he had before. Most of his sons are still good, just not where they used to be, while some went wayward and can’t be helped. Overall, I like the Risen because deep down, despite reasons for being cruel, bitter, and unhelpful, the sons of the Lion still want to do good, fight evil, and make sure Mankind doesn’t get destroyed for the simple sin of existing within the same reality as everybody else.

He recognizes that he was a bit of prick to his sons and is trying to redeem himself to them. I think that’s why he been in the shadows since his return and only coming out when the need is dire. His sons come first then the imperium.

[@sivel7493]

I mean, not really, your description would fit Guilliman better, or even more so, Dante. Lion literally just woke up from a 10000 years slumber, and of course, by no means it was a good slumber, but it was certainly more rest than what Guilliman and certainly, Dante has had.

No one ever talks about this but the Risen becoming a faction essentially changes the whole of the grim dark universe. You’re adding concepts like redemption and mercy to the story which is not something we’re used to seeing in a dark future where there is only war.

[@midshipman8654]

Eh, IDK I feel like redemption is a pretty common theme. Its just that its often a pretty bitter end of the line sort of redemption. Like someone who was corrupted by chaos repenting and then going out fighting chaos in a blaze of glory since they think the only way to redeem themselves is in death. That's a pretty common story line.

[@tevin4006]

Its going to be intense in the sense like...So current day, dark angels are loony for hunting down the fallen (especially Asmodai) But then their gene father is like "no...the lot of these guys are good and you can learn from their experience." Then like, the Fresh primaris marines that are experienced that were put in stasis at the tail end of the heresy that heard what happened to Caliban but still don't know why only to be awakened in the indomitous crusade. Then, fresh in their minds, they get to actually see their primarch. There's going to be very interesting conversations between the first born, the primaris, and the risen, with the lion having to deal with sorting his boys out, haha.

[@flavortownfanatic7280]

I think Azreal will grumble and whine a bit, but ultimately accept it, Belial might accept without too much complaint. Asmodai though, oooh boy, asmodai is gonna need some sense beaten into his skull, or the Lion is gonna have to give him the old Nemiel treatment.

[@LCliffhanger]

A small point about Luther, it's very likely that Luther wouldn't have been turned had he not been on Caliban, he remained loyal for a while but then an old colleague of his from the order convinced him to read a tainted book which is what sent Luther on the path to becoming a Horus 2.0 of sorts. I hope the risen grow considerably in number and lead to a revival of the 1st legion of sorts, helping re-establish all the wings and orders, knowledge, secrets and weapons that they've lost, finding old caches of weapons and secret knowledge and such. You could have multiple series of books on the risen alone, one following the Lion, one following Zahariel as he finds and converts more fallen, maybe Bors could have a series where he leads a force of Risen and Dark Angels to find various Caches of weapons and knowledge hidden in old isolated 1st legion outposts that may have been home to unique orders of the 1st legion. Like maybe they find the old fortress of the order of broken claws or the argent spire or something. I remember there was one order mentioned to have a hollowed out asteroid for an outpost or a chain of them maybe. Kinda like a treasure hunting Indiana jokes but with super soldier space knights. I hope we see all the risen from son of the forest in more books with the Lion because every one of them was amazing, I love each of them, Zahariel, Lohoc, Kai, Bors, Aphkai, and so on. Also I think it's worth noting that, the Lion definitely cared for and loved his sons in the heresy as well but when it came to Caliban, after going through the whole heresy to find his own home in open rebellion, it makes sense that he just wanted to rip and tear after everything he'd been through and what he should have been coming home too.

I'm on the same boat. But i've come to belive that the primaris should have been an Emperor's idea to correct the raptor stink-up, that he left to teenage unpaid intern Cawl because he was busy. Cawl would have to spend the whole 10k years working using Big E's seal to get away with it in secret and rising to archmagos in his own merit on the proyect. If the primaris were ready just in time to the gathering storm it would be a good reason for Cawl to try and heal Bob, and I belive that if they were as much of a surprise for Bob as they were for everyone else it would have been less jaring. You now, the Emperor's last delayed gift to the species he failed, maybe one last sword forged in defience of Fate on the fires of a Galaxy that has been burning for 10.000 years.

I’m glad that the the Fallen are now the Risen, since they have too cool of a color scheme imo to just be antagonists

[@gasmonkey1000]

I think ya picked a good one to start with. The Fallen were pretty much the raison d'etre to the entirety of the old First Legion's unity, a unity that was comparable to the bonds of unity shared between the sons of Sanguinius. Their dark secret, their aching scar, and unifying foe. Now that the Lion is back and protecting some of the "Risen" I'm curious how many of his sons will be okay with this. The Dark Angels successors spent their entire existences dedicated to hunting down the Fallen and now some are being shielded by their own father. Whether they accept his orders or history repeats I don't know. As for Luther, he's an interesting character. The nuke ya mentioned, he nearly let it be detonated but it wasn't due to Chaos. It was due to jealousy. The Lion may have unified Caliban but he needed Luther to do the talking on account of The Lion's extreme aspberger's. Luther realized how petty he was and told the Lion. As for the reason of banishment, it sounded more like the Lion was ashamed that he didn't know his father as well as he did. Luther only started getting spikey around the Horus Heresy. Combined with how Zahariel, the son who saved the Lion, was treated and turned to Chaos out of spite, yeah I can see how Lion is feeling some guilt. If he hadn't sent Zahariel and Luther back they might not have been corrupted by the Ouroboros. If he hadn't been so prideful maybe he could have read Luther's reports and seen what was going on with Caliban. He failed his sons and his father figure so I can see him taking it hard now. As for the Fallen before hand, it was complicated. If memory serves there were like five factions of the Fallen before the destruction of Caliban: 1. The Jailed: Loyalists who were jailed after a failed attempt to sway them to Luther's side 2. The Order: Luther's team who wanted an independent Caliban and went on to conquer up to a sector 3. The Mystai: Zahariel's order who were closet chaos worshippers and probably formed the backbone of the more Chaosy Fallen 4. The First: A bunch of idiots who followed Astelan who said they were loyal to the Emperor but thought that the Lion was an awful leader and unfit to lead. (These are the most unreliable as Astelan himself is a liar and an idiot, since despite being one of the first 5,000 astartes it took him forever to reach any real rank in the Legion, and that was after the Lion took over. Now there's plenty who were loyalists but weren't partaking in the same crackpipe as Astelan)

[@lurkingedge]

Firstly, good video. Secondly, you completely neglected the breaking of Caliban. The planet shattered and was sucked into a warp rift, dragging the fallen with it and scattering them across space and time, which is why Fallen are still just emerging from the warp up to the present setting and the Dark Angels only managed to catch a small percentage of them in 10,000 years. Thirdly, it isn't teleportation. He folds space. A warp ship shortcuts between two points in realspace via the warp, which can be described as realspace bending or folding around the straight warp shortcut. The Lion enters a pocket dimension within the warp that folds the warp around it, folding realspace twice as sharply. Possibly exponentially harder, as he can walk faster than ships can warp jump.

I don't think we will see the Risen as a successor chapter. And they are definitely not a powerhouse according to the lore. They are not even organised in numbers, they are on the run and lack supplies - only the Lion's return gave them a chance to really settle down and gather numbers. The Fallen on the other hand have been gathering for a while now (and I doubt all of them will be joining daddy - right Mr. Marbas? Thought so.) I can't wait for the next book about the Lion. I just want the line between Fallen and Risen finally cleared - with Luther and Cypher getting their official status (and lets be done with the 'secret hunt' and Cypher's identity). As someone who has a 30k Dark Angels army as well as a 40k and a bunch of Chaos Marines to turn the 30k into a 40k Chaos force - I'm looking forward to finally field the Lion with the Dark Angels (and Risen - hopefully Kill Team - unit) against Luther and the Fallen... its been 20+ years of waiting for this :D

[@greggonzalez661]

the Lion's new ability doesn't seem to be tied to the Fallen specifically.. just that he can travel to anywhere a member of the DA is. the fact he's finding Fallen is probably just because the fallen are the only members of the DA's that he knows, because they're all from the Heresy Era.. he doesn't know anyone from the M41 dark angels.

[@jacklang3314]

Probably until Dante tells him about them which is why he ends up facing Angron.

[@RogueSanta]

Its all the sons with enough rizz to be welcomed back to the legion

[@thequietman5934]

So, with many of the Fallen now becoming the Risen, Dante is no longer the oldest loyalist Space Marine outside of Dreadnoughts.

[@Malino8835]

I can't stop hearing "Rizzen"... Help me.

[@TerribleScroll]

It's over for you brother the rot in your briian spread too far for us to save you.

[@anothernerd6464]

The Risen are Rizzin

[@kculzsinet]

Ah yes, the good ending

[@thomastempleman2029]

I hope Daddy Deepstrike and the War Crime bois get more lore

[@Dingghis_Khaan]

If there's one thing we all know about the Risen, it's that Asmodai is _not_ going to take the news about them well.

[@ChaoticVoicesofAndreas]

I know that one! It's the Fallen Dark Angels who got back up again before another Dark Angel could see they had fallen!

[@rexxo4957]

another video from the blessed Arthur let's fuckin go

[@ElJorro]

I can't wait till he meets up with the Dark Angels of the Rock.

[@Buch0u_1]

if they can smooth talk their way back into the Dark Angels, they should be called the Rizzen

[@LukasEhrlich]

Lion convincing the Fallen to serve him again would make them the.. Rizzen.. no?

[@torkarlsson7672]

The Risen more like the Rizzen.

[@HumbleDirtMerchant]

The Rizzin'.

[@15DEAN1995]

Imagine how mad jagatai will be that the lion can get to another planet faster than him

[@BroodingEdgelord]

Perfect excuse for a chaos space marine conversion

[@davidhannant451]

Risen are true dark angels

[@ShadowGhost0117]

Honestly, the only 40k Dark Angel I really care a whole lot for is Azrael. And even then I prefer the 30k Dark Angels more.

“But then, what authority do I hold over you, Zabriel of Terra?’ the Lion asked, apparently speaking to himself as much as to me. ‘The galaxy we were created for is long gone, as are the order and structures into which we fitted. You are my son, and I am a son of the Emperor, but so was Perturabo, yet Barabas Dantioch betrayed him and ended up saving my life.’ I did not speak. I had no idea who Barabas Dantioch was, although this was a tale of which I was intrigued to hear more.”
