The SONS OF HORUS Legion in the HORUS HERESY | Legion XVI: Origins | Warhammer Lore

The Sons of Horus, unsurprisingly, were at the very centre of the Horus Heresy, though they weren't the first to fall, and in many ways were one of the most unlikely of Legions to turn from the Emperor to begin with

So much of Horus' past is unclear, you could say it is mostly Horus Hearsay.

[Retrosicotte]

The dark irony that Horus' vision of '40k' was what spurred him to rebel, and then ended up creating it through his actions is just the single best bit of Chaos corruptive lore in all of Games Workshops worlds.

My favourite quote in regards to Horus was “Horus would greet worlds first with an open hand, and if you denied him, he would greet you again with a closed fist” which I love so much about their character and culture.

Horus in Dreamland "Oh noes! My father and brothers worshiped as a god and saints? That is horrible because religion is bad and dumb and wrong and WHERE THE HELL IS MY STATUE?!"
Me "ah, there it is. THAT is what makes Horus the bad guy before chaos has any shenanigans in his brain."

This is easily my favorite series on YouTube right now, I feel like I’m exploring a real part of history each time

[vontheunknown]

I did love the loyalist Luna Wolves for the final battle of their lives against their traitorous kin.

[tehvaniua]

I like how you kept the black legion out of the video. How and why Abaddon changed his battle brothers could easily take its own video.

[morokei]

You've done it Horus, you really are the Warhammer 40'000.

[Stormcast]

Thankyou for teaching me my 40k horus heres lore aswell as advising the best warhammer beer.

[ScooterinAB]

Woo! The Unification Wars on Terra! :P
I have no idea that a lot of the imagery of Chaos Marines (spikes, topknots) came from the Luna Wolves. They truly are the Ultramarines of the Ruinous Powers.

[newhistorian]

It is weird how prominent yet ignored they are. In the books they are always this looming thing but they rarely show up outside of their own stories. Always felt a little abandoned but i guess, much like the iron hands, its due to them being one of the first to come out.

Yoo, Ian. I don't know if you did this consciously, but this video is legit the best introduction to Warhammer 40k currently available online.

[steppeone]

This is the one I’ve been waiting for. I’m building a second edition Luna Wolves army, and Horus and Loken are such great characters.

[CocoHutzpah]

I can't blame Horus for thinking the marines would be tossed aside at the end of the crusade. It wouldn't be the first time Big E did that.

[theemperorschosen]

As I said about Horus on FB the other day.

He was at his pinnacle, the unstoppable and beloved warmaster. The uniter of the Primarchs and a general plus diplomat that ranked above his brothers.

Brought low by a man he thought betrayed him, betrayed by a man he trusted to become a weapon against the father he loved. His desire to be remembered for all time gone turned into an insecurity fuelled to become the Arch-Traitor.

He betrayed brothers he loved, his best friend, killed by him at the height of the siege.

And in his final moments, he died ashamed, broken and alone before his father who he has left crippled for 10K years since that day.

Not remembered as a great hero of Humanity, nor as the father of his sons who now despise his memory. Rather the Arch-Traitor who nearly destroyed what he helped build.

[stewroo]

Great use of the old Necromunda illustrations, brings back so many memories.

[nicksurename]

I love the sons of horus, such a cool idea and army, especially to paint and play!

[TheMrFishnDucks]

Didn't know much about the Pre-heresey era, it was very fascinating. Nice video. Keep up the good work.

[Kmwildride]

Wow! Went to your channel to stick the playlist on whilst I worked and found you had released a new video! Today is a good day.

[Marcosvn]

I love how the descent into chaos of the best of the primarchs is described
