VII Legion 'Imperial Fists': Origins & History (Warhammer & Horus Heresy Lore) 

you're doing a good job for being the 'youngest" of the 40k lore channels, keep up the good work.

I think it would be fitting that the next Legion be the Iron Warriors. Excellent work as always, man.

Is it sad that when he said a "moment of laxity" I shouted leads to a lifetime of heresy.

I really like how you speak like you just came back from the 40k universe keep up the great work

TIL: Dorn had the freaking Phalanx BEFORE meeting with Emps?!

Listened to this while painting my latest additions to my Defenders of the Throne World army (Fists and Custodes), your voice and attention to detail are immense, and I love your videos - and appearances in emperors text to speech. Thank you for the hard work Oculus!

Five Iron Warriors disliked this.

One of my favorite legions which spawned my favorite legion! (The Black Templars) Like every single thing you do, I absolutely love it!

TIME FOR AN IMPERIAL FISTING

"They are my bulwark against the Terror" - most likely refer to the VII specifically

Can't wait to see one of these for The Emperor's Children and The Dark Angels.

Perfectly narrated, as usual. Thanks!

This was actually my first video on your channel, and the intro alone had already sold me. Great job, man. Ten times more enjoyable than other lore channels like OMS.

As always, brilliant work. Superbly well-written, read and researched - nobody else presents their work in-character like this, but it works very well - it's very immersive. I can't wait to see the next one!

Oh man, I really think I have to read on the Horus Heresy books. I stopped somewhere at the 8th book or something years ago. Now I want to experience this Lunar Wolves (Sons of Horus) vs. Imperial Fists battle. Great video again, with just the right atmosphere. Thanks a lot!

Rogal Dorn...the quintessential combat engineer

Great video. Looking forward to a Thousand Sons video. Imo, they have the best story since they have something rather rare in the 41st millenium: Character Development. What's your favourite 1st founding chapter?

Another beautifully made video, once you've finished the video on legion structure I'd like to cast a vote for the Sons of Caliban. Keep up the excellent work!

I approve of this , astonishing work oculus imperia

Haha I'm honoured to see my contemptors in Jon laws photo on your video. Love these keep them up!

i could listen to you read the phone book sir your voice is amazing

binge listening to these all in a random order gives the impression that the narrator just hasnt had his coffee for this one

Your videos are sublime. Elevated beyond simple youtube data. The Emperor Protects.

Amazing vids bro! Your voice and tempo of your reading gives a gravitas to the telling of the story. Can’t wait til you do Death Guard and Mechanicum! Keep up the terrific work!

Best lore channel on RU-vid - thanks!!

So these guys are the WHFB dwarfs of 40k in astartes form

One of the most eloquent lore videos I've come across. Marvellous

Remember the Iron Cage!!!

Well done and well narrated. Look forward to your telling of the other Legions as well as the Heresy.

This was the first Warhammer lore video I ever watched, And it is still my favorite

My second favourite Legion. :D

Please, the music track. What song/hymn is this?! I must know! I can hear it echoing through the Phalanx!!

These are awesome. Can't wait for you to cover the Grey Knights.

Your lore videos are incredible!

Really grate work, I'm looking forward to your take on the First Legion.

Absolutely fantastic, well done sir

The background chanting is entrancing

Great work as usual! I'm always getting realy exited when I see a new video from you. Realy made my day, thanks!

Always liked Rogal.

@Oculus Imperia - your work is excellent and I love the style in which you narrate it. Could you please do videos on the White Scars or either of the Angels Legions? Thanks.

Just getting into 40k and your videos are a huge help!

I love how you narrate as an imperial historian. Well done.

Awesome channel. Will listen again about my best legion

Impeccable Narrations Sir.

Very well done

The IF and their successors are bar none my favorite loyalists.

Great lore video, I love your work!

Great job!

Great lore video! Love your work!

Damn I wish I could paint with yellow. They are great.

Awesome! Very nicely done. Great detail and nice wording!

Excellent work thus far. Would you be willing to do a lore video of the 1st Legion?

Great work... really enjoy your stuff

Keep up the good work!!!

Imagine if, by some miracle, Iron Warriors remained loyal. Imperial Palace would have been impenetrable.

Exellent portrayal of dorn

Shouldn't there just by chance be one primarch that grew up on a planet with democracy and human rights?

Inwit as a planet sound so much like the pronunciation of the Inuit people from Alaska, Canada, Greenland and Russia.

11:01 WAIT how did I miss the use of the word "jived" the other times I watched this!?!?!

Nice..curiously..why did your voice change around 6:38?

Rogal Dorn would be very proud

There is no Legion better to serve as the Defenders of Holy Terra.

This was awesome, thank you!

What music was used for this glorious history of my beloved legion?

Can’t wait for your videos on the blood angels, also; do you play heresy? Always nice to find another Irish player

Great work, your format and voice work are great. Sometimes your pronunciation is a bit off. Pall, in the context you have used it, is pronounced like Paul, and there have been a few other misstakes in previous vids. Other than that, Black Library should hire you for their audiobooks.

Brilliant.

Such great content!

Perfect.

*Siege vs Fortify intensifies*

My boys, hell yeah!

You should be a guest on if the Emperor had a tts

please do a thousand sons legion video and an imperial knights video!!! also a video on each of the major titan legions would be amazing!!!!

Do you think the Chaos gods had any control over-where they scattered the primarks to? if so sending Dorm to a society which would further his no-noncence attitude and with one of the galexys biggest starships seems like an epic fail.

Oculus what army do you play for 30K?

Dorn was one of the best military minds, but Guilliman is still better, not by much. Guilliman was better in overall understanding the Imperium and its people. Guilliman may hate the Imperial Creed and he and his fathers deification. But could still work around it and begin the long struggle of restoring the Imperium to what it could be. Dorn could not do such a thing and never could understand the necessities of the now in order to get a better tomorrow. Meaning Guilliman tolerates the Imperial Cult for now, Dorn would not and could not tolerate such a thing. Making Guilliman a better overall leader, which is why people are pretty sure now the Lion is the next to come back. Since the Lion was probably the best military commander the Imperium had. Guilliman has even said that before. But the Lion is not a ruler or administrator that Guilliman is, so their skills complement each other. Though they may in private verbally fight each other, I still think they could keep their disagreements from harming what both need to do.

What of the Alpha Legion...? I would greatly enjoy speculating on it's murky origin & history!!! Also, the Thousand Sons & the Blood Angels.....

10:48 did any of the Primarchs have a named (or referenced) mother? Female rulers and Matriarchies are rare in recorded human history, but not that rare. Does anyone remember a reference to one, even just to the wives of one of the foster fathers? The closest I'm coming to is that Russ was cared for by a she wolf.

Fists FTW

Kudos, I just found your videos, I love your narration and the dark tone. I love WH40k lore, but I was getting a little sick of Arch WH's snarky jokey glib approach.

I have one single problem with the astartes, the color of their armor, a soldier a professionel soldier will take any advantage that he can get and that includes the color of his uniform, painting your uniform yellow makes no sense to me because it is not an advantage and it bothers me when it comes to the astartes because I believe they would paint their armor depending on the envioronment they are figthing in.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EEueSZk_g6k.html the song likely used in the background. Very fitting still

I hate the fists....but great video man as always.

Iron > Stone
