@axeman0011996 The Iron Warriors were called 'Corpse Grinders' for sending their mortal auxiliary forces to their death, not the Iron Warriors themself. Perturabo and his Warsmith are efficient commanders, they don't often waste the lives of their astartes like cannon fodder. Harkor was successful at taking down the Imperial Fist in this clip but lost too many astartes and didn't follow the original plan hence why he was demoted.
@@Gozkiel But you could say the decimation as a waste. But thats a general problem with the IW and Perturabo books. They flip flop from from calculating, emotionless, precise killers and stratagists to tantrum throwing, stupid and rash barbarians.
@@WarsmithThanatos I think decimation has its uses, it is often used to punish failures and to weed out the weak anyway. Yeah, the Iron Warriors always had that supressed bitterness and rage that shows up once awhile. The time it is truly revealed is when they engage in cqc or after breaching the walls of their foes, they can be as ferocious as the Blood Angels or the World Eaters. It has also been said somewhere that the Iron Warriors are 2nd only to the World Eaters for having the most Khrone Berzerkers, but I have yet to confirm that.
Also again, we know Pert did care about his sons in his own way, like in slaves to darkness were he was angry that his sons were dying for a useless world
FORRIX AND BEROSSUS BOTH, LAID LOW IN THE SCHEEMINGS OF THE HALFBREED WHELP. THESE SIMPLE DAYS OF YORE BELIE THE WRATH I SHALL LOOSE UPON WARSMITH HONSU SHOULD HE STEP OUT OF LINE.
The funny thing is Kroeger was just becoming another batshit insane Khorne boy and yet he’d still be flawless while commanding fellow breachers and laying devastating attacks on the enemy, such a shame he had to be usurped due to his khornate tendencies in the end
I'm sorry, but I won't be uploading more. I'm sure there are channels out there that upload clips from audiobooks/dramas regularly, I just can't remember them from the top of my head.
Now if he just did THIS on day one, things would've been better. A dressing down of the legion, that would've shook them. The decimation was way too far.
