THE COUNCIL OF THE LAST WALL! THE SONS OF DORN

[@OperatorJay141]

This is why Rho is my fav 40k channel. The way this man narrates these stories is astounding. You can really feel the gravity of his words while explaining the story.

[@ildlyn8966]

stop brownnosing

[@Lowlyking2001]

I love how the Astartes know Gulliman as the legion breaker, when the rest of the imperium currently calls him a legion builder. This is why I love 40k. The whole thing is a brutally beautiful tragedy.

[@jonharrison9222]

A daft belief given his legion was by far the largest and therefore the most divided.

[@Phello123]

@@jonharrison9222ironic that the primarch that arrived late, the primarch that didn’t make it to terra, the primarch that didn’t defend the Imperial palace was the one questioning the loyalties of the one primarch, who above all else, was responsible for the survival of terra and in turn, the imperium. Guilliman is a true politician, he’s a hypocrite

[@toddolson4614]

​@Phello123 I am not a Bobby G fan by far and love giving him shade, but calling him a politician is just too low. He is a statesman!! I don't think Bobby distrusted Rogal, he distrusted that much combined power. The problem is the power is there for a high lord, inquisitor, space marine or anyone else to hold / take. He was trying to ensure a problem didn't happen again, but you can't stop this problem from coming up it will happen.

[@leandrocastello309]

​@@toddolson4614 Bobby G just didnt want a Legion Master to get corrupted like horus and have another heresy. It looked like common sense after what the chaos gods did with a single warmaster.

[@Phello123]

@@toddolson4614 don’t forget that even as the codex astartes was laid down, the ultramarines of all chapters basically instantaneously broke their own codex, the Aegida company, so robot gorilla man and his sons, above all others, have no right whatsoever to “enforce the codex” on anyone

The last wall= the beacons are lit.....

[@dirk903]

I think it proves the steadfast loyalty of the fists. No matter the distance, no matter the cost (think Phal), the bloodlines of Dorn will answer *That* call

[@irontuzi3453]

I would imagine the Last Wall Protocol would be something every Imperial Fist Successor Chapter Master plans for during every campaign. They would always have a plan to withdraw from a conflict if Terra needed them.

[@PrimarisBlackTemplaDraven]

Ah yes my favorite family reunion of the sons of Dorn except for that one group who joined the iron warriors we don't talk about them but hey best family reunion ever.

[@Ninja40K]

I love chapter masters' gatherings, like BAs or SWs.

[@chrismcguinness5405]

That was a great book, I always like how the IF are written these days. I liked them from WAY back. Spacemarine novel by King I think, was super cool in like 93 when I got it.

[@riccardocarminatigalli2852]

Can you do a year of imperial fist ?

[@TheOnlineBarrister]

I've always liked to think Dorn accepted the Codex on the grounds that when Terra needs them, his legion (all the chapters) will come to its aid. The Imperial Fists was one of the legions organised into chapters in the heresy too. They just needed splitting. But I'm sure Dorn would have wanted that regathering of his sons for Terra's protection and the chapter masters know that and so they don't question the call for aid.

[@GroNosh]

i miss the Soul Drinkers for the Last Wall

[@nathangillispie51]

Thanks for the videos Rho

[@Duppyman695]

Although the Last Wall Protocol was needed, I do think the Imperium play it fast and loose with the rules, one rule for some chapters and another for the others. It seems the Codex Astartes can be ignored with very little repercussion.

[@Nuvem_AV582]

1ºFounding chapters can get a lot of leeway. Despite, the imperial fists are the sons of the Preator, they are specifically tasked with Terra's protection.

[@Duppyman695]

@@Nuvem_AV582 Yeah, I get that.... I will say the problem comes into play when other chapters (cough, Astral Claws) start thinking the rules don't apply to them either.

[@Ronfost89]

@@Duppyman695 Well in that case they had repercussions. For the most part they are pretty harsh with the rules and only a few chapters (pre primaris) really ever had more than 1000 Marines. Not to mention the size rule is only for when they are not on an active campaign. The real only exception was for the Space Wolves because they didn't really do successors nor gave a shit about what Guilliman had to say.

[@Duppyman695]

@@Ronfost89 Out of the First Founding, yes that is true but then we come to Black Templars, The Minotaurs, Knights of Blood, Exorcists, Relictors, and then there are the ones that are under investigation The Lamenters, the Black Dragons and the Sons of Antaeus to name a few of the non codex compliant chapters.

[@tanaka601]

@@Duppyman695As Guilliman stated when he came back the codex was never meant to be taken as a religious set of strict rules, but rather a set guidelines. When he met with Helbrecht and the black templars he even praised them for not following the codex like other chapters did.

[@daffy008]

ok you're just edging Valrak RN

[@acegear]

hope the black templars answer the call let see how those schemes and plots against the most faithfull sons of the emperor

[@fcb2815]

Wait I'm drunk af, is the Imperial Fists wiped out?

[@williamwiegand4340]

War of the Beast story line

[@grayfullbuster1242]

YES, technically IF got wipe almost completely let say 95% in the war of the beast and only a Few True IF survive but then Other Imperial fist successors chapters felt bad for the IF and donated a Space to it. Then tbe last Imperial Fist Oroginal members got wipe out. Loosing IF culture and warriors ethics. Since they where now mix with Templar Religious and Crimson Fist Ideologies and ect. So in a sense the Imperial fist chapter is dead

[@ajaxtheunderkin2545]

Question what book series is this? I want to buy them all.

[@warwolf88]

they need the legions more then ever

[@lordcrakkin965]

No. Dorns sons have the promise of Terra in the back of their minds at all time. When the call goes out...they come. This is duty. Anyone, anywhere, in any universe would allow doubt...but not the boys of Dorn.

[@chrismills2439]

I think Guiliman knew what he was doing. I think though he should have left a few of the other legions intact. the sons of dorn would have been one such legion. At least this is what my opinion is from watching Rho and other youtuber's videos....

[@TheInsatiableDrBoom]

Like didnt they just get big batch of Primaris marines tho? Isnt that why the Crimson Fists have full strength? Id think they'd be particularly sympathetic having just rebuilt everything.

[@CallumFinlayson]

This is the War of the Beast in M32, it's not current

[@TheInsatiableDrBoom]

@@CallumFinlayson Ah that makes more sense still never heard of this story. I think in modern lore BTs shouldnt have accepted the Primaris and BTs should not switch. Hell let other stubborn Fists leave their chapters and let the BTs form a mega Fist Crusade.How baddass would it be for the Fists to build a bridge over the rift.

[@Boosttackle]

​@@CallumFinlayson I was wondering that too when I didnt hear pedro

[@AdjudicatorBrbal]

We need an imperial fist or black templar game man. Everybody got their games but our banner. Its so lame. Even the grays got their turn base!?

Great stuff Rho

[@tyrionlannister4920]

I think..... I mist have missed something big 😂 Where did they go? Wtf happened? 🤣🤣🤣 Gonna find out obviously, but right now, only one fist remaining hits out of nowhere for me 😅

[@jonharrison9222]

During the War of the Beast the IF chapter was wiped out save for one marine. They were refounded by each of their successors donating a portion of their warriors and placed under the leadership of the lone IF survivor.

I think Rho is play a double standard here. When the high lords and politicians engage in politics and "honor"... That is bad. When the Astartes leaders does so... it is epic and heroic.

[@Ave_Christus_Rex3777]

When the high lords engage in politics the entire Imperium and all of mankind suffers When the Astartes engage in politics, at worst a few words suffer

[@Kristian.B.Kristiansen]

@@Ave_Christus_Rex3777 The High lords are mightier and with infinitely greater responsibilities. But they act within the same system and codes the Astartes here use. Condemning the High lords for acting like political oligarchs and not Condemning the Marines for acting like Honour obsessed self-important overgrown child-soldiers... I call BS.
