Still better then how the Corpse Emperor treated his kids. If the Great Crusade had been successful the Legiones Astartes would have gone the way of the Thunder Warriors, and the majority of Primarchs would have outlived their purpose,. The only ones who'd likely be kept alive would've been Papa Smurf for the administration, Magnus to be a psychic power-generator slave, and maybe Dorn as an architect.
@@derpanzermacher9094 Man, even if the great crusade was completed and there was no chaos that doesn't mean that there would be no more work for the space Marines. The thunder warriors were purged for being far too unstable for the long term survival of the imperium, they were all dying and tearing themselves and everything apart when they were starting to degrade, the space Marines were made as an improved and more stable version of this method. The galaxy still requires maintenance even if the imperium's claim became so solidified, and there are often invasions from outside the galaxy i.e. the tyranids, and also maybe conquest to outside the galaxy. Although there are founding chapters that have been purged from record, this was because of severe betrayals and damage to the imperium.
I really like this voice for Horus. I always imagined the Cthonian gangs to be like space Londoners. This voice suits that well. It's respectable, but not pretentious.
Agreed. I love all the lore pre-heresy/great crusade era. It all seems a million galaxies away from current 40k. The relationships between both the legions and their respective primarchs always fascinated me.
DM: "Horus, your brother shares his concerns with you. How will you proceed ?" Horus: "I will answer his request and encourage him to explain the whole case in detail, avoid to sound sarcastic or something." DM: "Charisma Check ... roll" Dice: *1* "Oh, that sounds troubling." :D
And the remembrancer saying something like "And what if you fall in battle?", "I wont" Following by what he does in the end of the book, it's one of the most chilling moments i read. Like Fuck! How unlucky can someone be ?
@@elasolezitoEugan Tember is largely forgotten also. I mean. Fck me he may have been corrupted wholesale, and chaos juiced to the gills... But that man, traitor or not took down a Primarch in his absolute gigachad prime. And not just any Primarch...Horus. And he did it with a knife! 1 vs 1. Ok, he died in said duel lol... But that still has to be one of the greatest feats ever pulled off in 30-40k lore ever?
@@ArnoldJudasRimmer.. He was a military commander right? A regular human not Astartes as far as i remember. Yes, his whole set up is to lure the overconfident Warmaster and make at least a single wound. Literally the Chaos Gods went fishing that day and made the biggest catch.
@@elasolezito he was. Horus had left him on Davin, as he respected him so much to do the task... You're right tho. Regular human. No Astartes. I mean Sanguinius nailed how many Demons? How many Greater Demons? Fck it hr dismantled a chaos infused Angron! As i said, that was some feat from Temba. Regardless of using the Athame, that is still some doing indeed.
@@ArnoldJudasRimmer.. Of course it's also to make the plot work. Anathema blade (Like in Warcraft Arthas' blade), Dragos death in game of thrones etc...I think it's a common trope. Overconfident character refuses to kill his opponent and tries to talk it out. Also the cursed weapon is guided by some otherworldly power. Horus, although no better fighter than the angel, is a beast on his own.
You did a really good job with the voice acting here. I adore how you can hear the camaraderie between them with how they speak to each other. They really do feel like loving siblings here; poking fun at each other, talking about their plans, and what they hope to do together once it’s all over. To know how they were makes the fact that Horus- corrupted by Chaos that twisted his otherwise noble heart and soul until it was unfeeling and black -ended Sanguinius’ life in such a horrendous way all the more heartbreaking.
