Love Magnus. Especially his TTS voice.

[Aerowarrier]

The man who’s own children eventually succumbed to a curse that causes them to murder their own brothers until finally put down being disgusted and frightened of the Flesh Change to the point where he got psykers as a whole removed from the war effort is low key infuriating and I’m sure Magnus had the darkest laugh possible when he eventually learned of the Wulfen.

[MikeJones-wqpg]

You being choked up about your script because it reminds you of something you love about 40K is exactly what makes you the best narrator, your passion is infectious. And im here for it

[HeartlessNinny]

We can argue about whether Magnus did anything wrong or not, but I would hope that everyone will agree that he had the best of intentions.

[notthatjesus]

One thing that always blows my mind about Warhammer 40K is that, for how deep & complex the lore gets, it still all happens inside the Milky Way galaxy. Makes me wonder what wonders and terrors (besides the Tyranids) the universe contains

[sah]

God this was good thousands sons lore.. I wish you could somehow add the ancient awaits story to this.. showing how despite everything’s that transpired. Of all the traitor legions the thousand sons have maintained their humanity. Giving their lives because they knew it’s what Rylanor deserved and fulgrim had become everything they disdained.

[camd]

@WesHammer It is insane to me that as many times as this story has been told by every WH40K lore channel all of them left out these conversations between Magnus and Mort, Magnus and Vulkan, and Magnus and the Emperor. I couldn't tell you how many videos I have watched about the fall of Magnus and the burning of Prospero and not one of them ever mentioned any of this. Magnus was in the throne room and was even then given a chance to redeem himself.... Wow that is very interesting and changes my thoughts on Magnus a lot. Thank you for actually telling the story in full. Love these deep dives, thanks again Wes!

[donald]

god everyone says that magnus is just an idiot for doing what he did but they way you describe it makes it so much more tragic. magnus was already one of my favorite primarchs but man this just makes it so much better

[Thatthere]

While we’re on traitor legions surely a Night Lords deep dive isn’t far off. Love your work man keep it!

[musicisfree]

I like how Wes is wearing a Black Templars shirt, while talking about Thousand Sons lore. Those two factions are the exact opposite of each other, and my two favorites.

[nickl.]

I'd love to see a redemption arc for Magnus. My boy deserves it

[Ranca]

Dude, your channel is really something else. The production value and storytelling are excellent, but what make the difference are the pure drive and commitment you put in your videos, you can really feel how much you love these stories, and how they genuinely matter to you. The community is really lucky to have people as passionate as you are, keep it up!

[carljhirst]

I listened to "The Thousand Sons" audiobook. Really enjoyed it.

I drove from Sheffield to Macduff in Scotland, listening to the whole book and YouTube Lore on Magnus!!! Then Burning of Prospero on the way back!

The interaction between Scarson Scarsonon!!! Where he has to bear his neck in submission because he gave it the large one to Magnus, and quickly regretted it.

He was awesome.

Tragic and such a waste of Knowledge, with the loss of that great World!.

[ManusMinis]

Thank you Weshammer for finally making my Sunday before I go back to work the best Sunday ever I've waited for something like this for years now!

[LeonHugginscooper]

Love your videos. I always watch them and really enjoy it.

[heavensfeels]

Not to dismiss Magnus' wrongdoings, but it was sad to see him fall to ruin and shame as hard as he did, especially to the Space Wolves. I actually think Magnus could've been handled better by the Emperor, but alas his own hubris and ignorance caught on with him and then he so fell into disgrace.

The time where he fucked up the Webway to warn the Emperor is also a prime example of good intentions leading to grave consequences. A true pity.

[darthcthulhu]

Wes, I've been following you since you got into YT. This is my favorite video you've ever done. I love them all, but as a Thousand Sons fan this one really hit the mark for me. Thanks, man. I really appreciate you.

[docutains]

This video, alone after years of consuming 40k lore has made me a big fan of the thousand sons, and big red himself. Crazy stuff. Now they in my top 3, damn. XD

[Kestrel]

Probably my favorite video you've done so far Wes, cannot WAIT for Part Two!
