“Don’t let others ruin your life, ruin it yourself.” -Perturabo

[Xcyper]

I always said the only thing stopping Perturabo from being - THE GREATEST - primarch of them all is Perturabo.

[franciscocastro]

Perturabo was not choosen to build Terra’s defenses because he was choosen to fight thousands of battles elsewhere by the emperor

[darklight]

Perto is by far my favorite traitor. His story and personality is great. How he say no to papa nurgle, and smash angron.

[chucklytell]

From iron cometh strength

From strength cometh will

From will cometh faith

From faith cometh honor

From honor cometh iron

Saving Peter Turbo to the end is perfect. Give hime 1 more thing to seeth about

I still think the best way to sum up Perturabo's role and value in the Great Crusade was given to him by the last member of his family when he returned to Olympia and destroyed it.

He was sent into hellzone after hellzone, on the worst of the worst missions with the hardest tasks at most the gruelling costs, not because he was undervalued, but because the Emperor knew that ONLY Perturabo of ALL his brothers could have possibly been able to do it. Only HE would remain unbroken by the effort. Only HE could stand, unbowed and defiant, against ANY trial put before him. And only HE could withstand it all and still go on to break open the enemies of the Imperium and forge a victory from what would have been a defeat for any of his other brothers. Iron within. Iron without.

If only he had seen the truth of this before that point. Or if he hadn't flipped out over it at the time and ruined yet another chance of redemption.

EDIT: I also really liked Rho's statement at the end about how, if you take away all the grandstanding and highlight moments, Perturabo was, without a doubt, the Greatest Primarch.

Perty was the Ford Transit of Primarchs in a universe of Fulgrim Ferraris and Lorgar Lamborghinis. Dependable and got sh1t done.

[codycurtin]

Now im not saying this just because i have the iron skull and IRON WITHIN tattooed across my stomach but Perturabo was the greatest primarch. Besides Vulkan and maybr Guilliman, Perturabo wanted better for humanity. He was no fortifier like Dorn but a true architect. When the Crusade was to be over he was drafting plans for urban development where humans would live in beautiful places where all their needs are met. He loved building for art's sake as well. It is also so heartbreaking that he had such large insecurities, as he thought he was getting the most gruelling campaigns because he was never loved but in actuality he was getting them because the Emperor knew he could DEPEND on Perturabo and the Iron Warriors. They would do the jobs no one would do because they knew they had to be done. There's a poetic aspect with loyalist successors like the Minotaurs as they are arguably the praetorians of humanity right now and given the accolades by the High Lords that Perturabo always dreamed his sons to get. I really hope he is the first Undivided primarch to cpme back because there is clearly as seen by this comment section real love for the Iron Warriors and Perturabo

One of those tubes is feeding him Tapioca pudding.

Angron gets addicted to spilling Ketchup.
Fulgrim gets the blue pill forever.
Morty gets Skibbity.
Magnus loses at Scrabble.
Horus gets a space stroke.
The twins take turns playing house.
Lorgar becomes addicted to anime.
Konrad took his tarot reading way too seriously.

THE LORD OF IRON SHATTERED THE IMPERIUM, HUMBLED DORN, HELD BACK ROBOUTE FROM TERRA.

[SyLuX]

Now that i think about it hes one of the few Primarchs that has never lost a fight to my knowledge.

[LetholdusKaspyr]

It was the Horus Heresy, but the Perturabo Campaign.

[myeka]

Reason he’s my favorite primarch is because unlike Guilliman he builds an empire through the strength of others: if you’re lacking he’ll instruct you on how to progress, if you’ve made a mistake he’ll be direct on how and why you’re wrong, if you’re not cut out for his expectations he’ll just remove you from the equation, he’s many things but impractical, incapable, incompetent and illogical are nothing that can be associated with Perturabo. Girlieman manages an empire, lord of Iron built one.

[NicholasSpeer-dn]

I've been waiting for this!!!! Thank you, Rho! Its tragic, but Perturabo's place was really at his father's side, where his mind could be clear and free from chaos and insecurity. What could have been.

[deyanlazarov]

Wouldn't it be wild to now have a series is the worst Primarch". The series will showcase the shortcomings and bad decisions of each of them.

[zackkennedy]

Seriously i know the tabletop and in game lore probably wont show this but Pert is like the one "chaos" (still hope he's not a real daemon) primarch that would end the setting. he has ALL the 30k tech that was lost, not to mention Daemon Engine drone warfare. he doesn't even need to send that many iron warriors to battle anymore, I'm pretty sure the only reason they still go out is because they are STILL too stubborn to change tactics. but Pert could very easily manage an entire black crusade himself, and win it

[babysealsareyummy]

If he falls to Slaanesh, he becomes Squirturabo.

[forgotten_minis]

He has Such a fantastic story. GW has done such a good job with him. Certainly my favourite primach (with the lion a close 2nd).
Can’t wait for them to drop more modern lore about him. We need to know more!
Thank you Rho. I think this vid will bring more love for the lord of iron.

[spiceguy]

My back broke hearing about Perturabo back
