This Legion lore series was where it started, it's still unique, and some of the best easy listening you can find on the internet. Thank you.

Dark Mechanicum accompanying Word Bearers be spamming TempleOS scrapcode at the Loyalists.

If Oculus wanted to do another interview vid like the Iskandar Khayon one, "The Anchorite" is a Word Bearer who repented on Calth. He's still in an Imperial prison cell, sometimes giving advice to the Ecclisiarchy but mostly praying in solitude for the Emperor's forgiveness.

Oh, and a suicide attempt also got him put in a Dreadnought.

Love the way Oculus ponders his choice of words, at points.
So immersive

I just watched a Majorkill video talking about 40k content creators, specifically long form, and Oculus wasn’t mentioned. How do we fix this? This channel easily lives up to the mantle of Lutien and Baldermort. It irks me that shorts creators get tapped but the glorious Oculus isn’t getting the proper nod in the larger community. I MUST fix this somehow.

I think this was it, unless I miscounted that’s all 18 Astarties legions. Congratulations Oculus that’s a hell of an accomplishment.

If my dad smashed up the Lego project I'd been working on for weeks I would have turned to the worship of Chaos too, I really can't blame the man.

Word Bearers: "HE IS THE MESSIAH!"

Was searching for a Word Bearers lore video, and low and behold one of my favourite 40k lore YouTubers delivers the goods! Great work as always!

perfect time, coffee is ready and I've got time :)

I do not challenge the accuracy of the great lore master's record lightly. However, if my knowledge proves to be correct, this thrice cursed legion was humbled at the city of Monarchia on Khur, not the world of Nuceria.
Let this be tested against your records with the hope that the integrity of your great archive is maintained.
Regardless, may you continue to bless us with your extensive knowledge for you truly have a gift, and it is an honor to receive it.

One of the if not the best wathammer lore channel

[Diomedes_XXII]

An unexpectedly early addition to the lore, much appreciated. Phenomenal content. ❤

[morlath]

And that's it....a week/two week binge of your excellent channel has me completely caught up. Thank you for every video, and I look forward to all the new ones in the future!

[gregmandu]

And thus the capstone is placed on the Legiones Astartes record stack. And what a record! Thank you once again, Oculus. It was worth the wait. Looking forward to Calth :)

[TheRickRouss]

Finding your content in my subscribed feed is like a Salamander finding an artifact of Vulkan. Such happiness

[alexanderfielding]

Thankyou for being, for me, in my triumvirate of best lore channels on YouTube ❤️

[krimzonstriker]

And so ends the Legiones Astartes Series. Praise be to Him on the Throne 🙏
