Prelude to Heresy: The Warmaster (Warhammer 40k and Horus Heresy Lore) 

Michael Kean Not even the gifts of the ruinous powers could match such glorious strands of perfect hair

Yeah I mean Magnus the Red only got one eye and even HE has a splendid head of hair

Michael Kean you forgot fulgrim

@Died OfCancer The Butcher's Nails: Not even once.

Bald is beautiful

What Horus did is unforgivable and he was rightly damned for his treason... but one cannot help but feel the sense of what was lost and the tragedy that was to follow when what should have been the greatest champion of mankind was undermined and betrayed by his brother Logar into a path of slavery and damnation to dark powers. May the cursed leader of the Word Bearers and those who follow him one day pay in full for all the crimes against humanity, the universe and all of creation they have committed.

To pity thy enemy is to know thy enemy.

@@honestgoblinproductions5663 Another? To pity the enemy is the first step to heresy! :BLAM

It is not pity that we feel but rather grief, grief that the greatest champion of His glorious light was manipualted, changed, and decayed by the Great Scourge.

@@MrTroves Yet we cannot fully condemn Lorgar. It was Erebus who whispered into his ear and twisted him, therefore leading to not only Horus’ fall but those within his legion.

exactly. and most people forget that the alpharius killed by dorn was omegon who switched spots w alpharius, so any criticism of his character can be deflected easy🤷‍♀️

@@dill8363 it was Alpharius's body, with his captain's mind piloting it. Alpharius's mind is in his captain's bodym

Both. Potential and flaws were there, blade unlocked them.

That absolutely tell you a great deal of information. Oculus doesn't present in the style of luetin as you know he extolls information as a story teller. Also his style of language makes it so certain things might be missed if not closely listened to because the way he utilizes words is more poetic versus clear and utilitarian

Im something of an Alpharius myself

@@jaypea30 well cheers my fellow Alpharius (laughs in confusingly loyal heresy)

Guilliman: "He's Alpharius. He's Apharius! You're Alpharius!! I'M ALPHARIUS! ARE THERE ANY OTHER ALPHARIUS'S I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?!" Omegon: "... Hydra Dominatus." Guilliman: "Okay, I'm done."

Will the real Alpharius please stand up? *Alpha Legion does the wave

He did? I don't remember that.

He did. It's all in the 1st Horus Heresy book. Dorn & a small contingent of Imperial Fists briefly stayed aboard the Vengeful Spirit while Horus & Dorn were in council together. Horus was seeking the advice & approval of his brother

@Davyfromthenavy Oh, that's nice. The only things I remember about Dorn interacting with the Marines from the other Legions were him talking to Garro and the Outcast Dead.

He too, was too proud and believed in the capabilities of his son, utterly. but Horus broke slowly from doubt and lies. and then hubris.

The Blood Angels and the White Scars will be happening as soon as I get my hands on Malevolence, although the Dark Mechanicus and Dark Angels won't be in the book so will have to wait till the next black book :(

The Wayfarer Same here

@@OculusImperia Excellent, thanks very much for letting me know. Ahh I forgot, they won't due to it not being Angelus anymore :( Still, two great legions is good news!

So this is like a Field Marshal appointment, something like that

GET WELL SOON CITIZEN

Better than Netflix ! Better than Amazon ! And defo better than Disney chanel !

This is not meant as critique or demeaning, But Perturabo could never command the other primarchs as Horus did, he did not have the heart, charisma or skill that was required, as The Warmaster it would fall upon the chosen primarch to not be just the leader of their own legion and a warlord but to mediate and juggle the positions of a politician, a statesman, a negotiator, diplomat, head of all fleets in the great crusade and logistician and representative of Imperium, the human species and its master, to those splintered and lost colonies or cultures the Imperium sought to bring into their fold. Perturabo Decimated his Legion when he took command so they would be reminded that nothing mattered to the 4th legion then to meet his demands and expectations, or else. now imagine that sort of order being given with him as Warmaster..there would be an instant revolt led by more if not most of his brothers against him rather then compling. only Horus could see all these facets at once and know the best way forward because he had been at the side of the Emperor the longest. but in the end it was too much even for him. The idea is still interesting though.

@@foulmoodcentral2830 I just think it'd be funny. Perturabo or Kurze leading would win, it would just be a rough road to rebuild after.

Blame Erebus !

All the Legions will be covered in time! Some are going to be thematically paired, others have to wait until Forge World can give them some love in the Horus Heresy books they make. Blood Angels and White Scars really soon though!

@@OculusImperia Ok, thank you for telling me, and thank you for everything youre doing. I cant wait to see what you do next, your videos are awesome.

Yeah Pre Horus Heresy leading up to the siege of Terra !

Definitely applies to the Dark Mechanicum & the Titan Legions.

I absolutely will! Just waiting until I inch closer to covering Prospero :)

Oculus Imperia Oooo, I’m guessing the Legio XV is coming next?

Vulka Fenrika, The Wolves of Fenris, The Emperor's executioners, The Space Wolves .............. coming soon!

@@Duppyman695 That's good to hear.

He already had his role as executioner, It might have sat ill with him at first but Horus was the first to be found and knew the Emperor better then anyone else. it was predictable.

@@foulmoodcentral2830 I remember somewhere that the wolf priests said they have already forseen Horus's rise to Warmaster and that it was never in Russ's destiny to be warmaster.

Would you really want Angron in charge of anything?

I believe their claim to fame is they conquered more planets than anyone else within the time frame of their Primarch's return to the Triumph at Ullinor. With it being a common held idea that if they had found Lion El Johnson earlier on in the Great Crusade they would have out paced the other Legions.
