HORUS LUPERCAL MEETS LEMAN RUSS

[@MobiusPrime2028]

Being the Emperor’s executioner was certainly in Russ’ genetic makeup. Overdeveloped senses for tracking and hunting aside, he was also one of the very best fighters among the primarchs. Personality-wise, he clearly did not relish his role. Both instances (that we know of) when he was committed to slaying his brothers, he tried contacting Magnus to get him to surrender and hesitated from delivering the killing blow when he saw Horus’ true self. People can call Russ a hypocrite all they want. I see a king who learns from his mistakes and manages to forge a new path for himself and his Legion. Despite regrets, he remained loyal.

[@johnj.spurgin7037]

Wasn't there some character development for Russ immediately following the burning of Prospero? I wonder exactly what that changed if these aspects of his personality have been static from the beginning... As for prospero itself, I need to check that book again. I thought Magnus was willing to surrender, but Leman followed Horus's orders to kill magnus and his legion, thinking it to be the emperor's orders. Did he trust Horus's loyalties even after knowing the primarch?

"When gods come from the sky and tell you there are no gods, it takes little time to see what is true and what is not." "I think a believer who ceases to believe when the truth of his world confirms those beliefs is a fool." "It doesn't matter what gods say. We don't pay much attention to them. They are as drunk and stupid as we." I love the amount of insight these lines gives us of the spirituality of the people of Fenris. Whether or not they ever accepted the Imperial Truth was irrelevant. He might be a god, drunkenly denying that which he contradicted with his mere presence, but it would change nothing to them if he wasn't. Unlike Lorgar and the people of Colchis, the Fenrisians never believed in taking their gods too seriously.

[@imgrimbur]

i was recently thinking about the big duel a lot, ofc Horus was buffed by chaos and simply OP as fuck but still Russ was able to defeat him (for a second), not by inherited strenght or by some technological advance,- he looked into him self, he made him self better fighter by fighting his own demons, it wasnt like Dragon ball - even though he had trained like Goku with Dreadnought, but he needed to know him self in order to know his brother, and the most important moment of it all - the "hesitation" - it want like that at all, if he killed Horrus in that moment, he would be cold murderer, no better than his enemy, he saw his brother again and wanted to help him- so we can say Russ isnt furious beast that knows only killing (wich he had done enough on Horuses ship), he is deep, emotional being with great wisdom, he has shown us his humanity and then Horus like a bitch suckerpunched him with bladed fist like the scared sack of shit he is, imagine being over 9000 and nearly getting killed by someone you laugh about

[@wolflordrho]

Great comment!

[@tappingninja]

By this point Leman Russ has already killed one brother and has carried that guilt with him ever since, that’s why he couldn’t kill Horus, he loves his brothers that’s how they were ALL MADE...

[@ragingmoderate6791]

So this is probably because I have watched the text to speech series by Bruva alphabusa too many times. But I imagine Russ as having a thick Scottish accent and calling everyone milksops. Russ is probably my favorite in the actual 40k universe, but Vulcan is my favorite in the tts series. "VULCAN LIVES" (stomp stomp)

[@ShadrackMeduson]

For me idk why but cant stop thinking in triple h everytime leman talks.

[@darthvaderginsburg4694]

I don't know why this is not talked about much, but, The Emperor made each Primarch for a specific task; and as we found out, the Helix was intentionally put into Russ's DNA. I know it is Wolf DNA, but a Canis is a Canis. He is as loyal as a Dog would be. I do not call him a Dog as an insult, but as a compliment. We, as Humans, do not deserve Dogs. The are truly amazing creatures. Russ is his Master's Dog. Loyal no matter the odds, no matter the danger, no matter the cost. Life or limb, a Dog will do its Master's bidding and protect Him/Her to the bitter end. Russ is exactly as he was made to be. IMHO, of course. YMMV. :)

[@commissarlugh1040]

The warhounds and wolves should traded names.

[@stephaniehaney736]

Well in my head canon, I believe that the Emperor in some way knew that his son's would be scattered. The thing is, yes I believe you're right in how Leman Russ was made specifically for that task as Executioner, therefore the Emperor probably crafted him to be perfect for that job. Now I don't know if he knew that his Son would be raised by a Wolf in the Wilderness, kinda matching up with his Executioner, or Attack-Dog, role he was to take part in.

[@saltedllama2759]

Every Primarch had a specific role to play. Sure, they were all great at just about everything, but each was above the others at specific tasks. Guilliman built systems. Dorn defended. Perturabo knocked down fortresses. Ferrus was calculated judgment and an efficient smith. Vulkan crafted masterpieces and cared for the weak, etc. Russ was tasked with being the executioner. Not in all situations, but if it was his charge to take someone out, he could do it. He even had an ascended Horus beat before holding back and feeling bad for his brother (which Horus obviously exploited).

The primarchs were not ment to fight each other any enemy of then a primarch russ would of straight up murdered them but russ is known for his loyalty and the brotherly love all primarchs seem to have made him hesitant

Russ actually showed quite a level of subtlety here for one so seemingly savage. I have no doubts that he can sense the atmosphere between them and I believe he used this to get under his skin before challenging him in the end. It was a stare-down between two polar opposite alpha males.

[@tacitus5665]

Russ, definitely one of my personal favourite Primarchs, one of the best generally I'd say. Always probing always wearing a mask of stupidity or savagery over a supreme intellect, but not really pretending either, nor hiding this half pretence entirely, one could almost match his facceted character with the likes of the Lion or Alpharius. Russ is savage, but he's not, extremely cunning, but hides it, though his cunning cannot be missed either, exactly knowing when and how to use a weakness how to find or provoke it always probingo, as we see him do it with Horus, perfectly imo, though he can probably do better as well, throwing Horus the bait of a blunt probe for him to judge Horuses response to it. People always think, that his Title is missplaced or that Russ is too arrogant, but I don't agree with either. He's extremely effective and efficient, he was designed to do exactly what he does, to fight and win against the impossible, at every turn, by whatever means, he was bread to win, that also means adapting, learning if necessary, to be and do exactly what's required. I think that people dmenounce his capabilities on grounds of lost fights is wrong, if you fight what Russ does, losing is part of the process, of learning and adapting which hopefully will secure you victory.

[@FoxHound-ut1hu]

'I want you to think, my lord,' said Valdor. 'Who says I don't?' said Russ. He leaned down so that he was eye to eye with Valdor, and bared his pointed teeth in a feral grin. 'I'm a thinker, me. I'm known for it.' 'Yes, you are,' said Valdor without mockery. 'I have seen that fine mind of yours in action.

[@internetpleb4854]

You could say it was a meeting of two great wolves Honestly I think Horus’s tone and Attitude was less about arrogance and more trying to come to grips with having a brother. Considering the 30 years he spent as the only son spending lost of together with the emperor it’s understandable that Horus might be a bit jealous or defensive knowing that Big Daddy won’t be placing the same amount of attention spending as much time with his as before. But he is at least making the effort.

[@strangerinastrangeland8026]

"...if I did not I would come for the adventure, no one in the Russ make war in the 'Up land'(in space)..."

The title “Emperor’s executioner” was not given by the emperor. This is very often not known and misunderstood. The Space Wolves and Russ call themselves that on their own. The Emperor even had to be told about that.

The Wanderer turned, looking out into the highlands of Asaheim, where the peaks marched under a crystal sky, eternal and inviolate. ‘For you to do what you were made for. Or let your grief end you. Your choice.’ Russ didn’t understand. ‘I was made to protect you,’ he said. ‘No. You were always wrong about that. You were made to protect what I created.’ The Emperor didn't want Russ to be his Executioner, He wanted him to be a Guardian.

[@BM-is5ei]

Ive just finished HH book 54 and i am absolutely convinced the emperor knew all along that the heresy would happen. Emps knew immediately that typhon was tainted and i bet he knew of erebus and all the others. And i have a somewhat crazy fheory about that: What if emps knew he could not win as he was when he was alive? What if he knew the chaos Gods were too powerful for him and he had to somehow boost his powers? What if he let the lecticio devinitatus or whatever its called to spread so he could be woreshipped over the span of 10 millenia until he acutally reached godhood to destroy them? I know it sounds crazy but think about it. Chaos likes to misdirect and lie but often times they tell the truth only not the whole truth. Maybe Horus was right and emps wanted to become a god but not for selfish reasons but to save humanity. What do younguys think? Sorry for my bad english its not my first language.

[@TRAVISHOWRYMUSIC]

I think he always intended the great crusade to end like it did. Primarchs turning on each other, against their father. It just happen before he was ready for it. He used thunder warriors to conquer earth and then has them a killed once their purpose was fulfilled. Treating primarchs differently w/his favor was intentional, etc. Makes sense I guess

[@BM-is5ei]

@@TRAVISHOWRYMUSIC thats where it gets a bit contradictory. i understand where you're coming from. esspecially since he got rid of the thunder warriors after the unification wars. but also there are a lot of hints in the earlier HH books that he very well might have intented them to become something like politicians and great leaders. the first thing that comes to mind is the description of the imperial palace where there are 20 "living areas" made esspecially for the bulk of primarchs from where, i would guess, they'd lead the imperium. and dont forget Magnus had been essential for his plans since he was supposed to sit on the golden throne. without him his original plans would have never worked.

That amuses me, because Horus is putting on as much of a show as Leman is, thinking Leman a savage, and that Leman should show him "more respect." Respect is earned. Leman's suggestion of a fight suggests to me that he was proposing a means to learn the most about Horus in the least time, including how much he SHOULD respect him. He probably learned a bit just talking about fighting with Horus. We know Horus used and manipulated the Mournival to mask the way he liked to make unilateral decisions. I think here his confidence was masking arrogance: "How could some savage think he could defeat HORUS?" Its sad to realize that his arrogance was used against him by Chaos, along with his desire for a CLOSER (the spent time together, but it seems like the Emperor kept a distance between himself and Horus, as he did with all his sons) relationship with his father...

I think Russ was playing himself down here to try and goad Horus into sparring

[@killtoy00]

in the picture at 6:00 there is a space wolf wielding a wooden shield. not a storm shield, no, just a wooden shield !! wtf !? 😂

[@whichDude]

I kinda wish I could see some exchanges that make Horus actually seem good. He's supposed to be so charismatic, and most are supposed to like him because of this. Guy always comes across as holier-than-thou superior. Hard to figure all the other traitors throwing in with him when he typically feels mostly above them. Write the guy with some likablity if I am to believe he is likable.

[@steveforrest1885]

Did Horus believe he would win? Or was it mock confidence.

[@natalassblaster]

Maybe the first primarch Horus meet was Alpharius... just sayin

[@TenOfTwenty]

What song do you use in the background?

[@TenOfTwenty]

Also, great content!!!

[@Theobserver6897]

What book is this in

[@SofaKing401]

Verbatim what Russ said is what lorgar had been saying the entire time.

[@tonyandbob]

so do you think that the russ knew that he would someday be fighting against horus truly ? as if he recognized that it was part of his weird to eventually really fight this man that a god had just told him was his brother?

[@paulsegers1880]

Who Drew These?

[@gangrail]

i think horus felt he was better then other primarchs only to be brought down a peg whenever his brothers out shine him

[@happyhammer1]

The real wolf vs the wolf in sheeps clothing.

[@danielinskip8427]

Despite the way the Primarch are usuallyportrayed,I feel Russ made Horus looklike an idiot here.

[@ThePathStrider]

Of course Russ wanted to fight Horus. He was undefeated until the Emperor humbled him. Now he wishes to know his measure against a true equal. So does Horus, but their father forbade it, and to Horus that was the end of the matter.

[@KuddlesbergTheFirst]

What if Leman had a kid named "Seman Russ"? Lionel el Johnson decides to troll Leman by spoiling the child with a great feast and offering some "training"? When your hated brother becomes an uncle that you don't want your kid to be influenced by?

[@stevensanders6696]

Leman and Lion don't hate one another. They got into a squabble over a misunderstanding, but Lion always respected Russ, even if he didn't agree with his brazen tactics

[@davidkahil5158]

Guilliman is the greatest primarch...hands down. If the emperor would have made him warmaster things would have been quite different.
