The reason for orks not being a faction in 30k is because the imperium had almost wiped them out completely during the great crusades, thats how powerful the imperium was, that they almost had made the orks extinct, but where the heresy fucked up the imperium so much it basically gave the orks 10,000 years to regather their strength, so if Horus never got tempted and corrupted by some Erebussy, its a safe bet to say Orks wouldn't be a thing anymore.
See that's a bit of bullsh××t, when you kill an ork you basicly create 100 new orks through the spores he expells in his dieing moment, although: Datt puni humies can't krump uz boyz, we krump demm instead, whaaaaaaaaaaaagh!🤣

Angron really turned when he got saved by the emperor whilst his friends died in Nuceria without Angron able to help out. Well that was the first thing that started to make him angry. Then learning how his fellow brothers were saved he thought that he was treated very unfairly. People often overlook how much honour is weaved into Angron, Khorne and the people who follow them.

as a newcomer to this universe, the videos made by absolute pros like Luetin09 are great but can be confusing, this video is awesome as an introduction to this part of the lore, thank you !
Luetin's style is like an essay or history book. Not sure if that is accurate but that is my first reaction. I think its good to have a variety in ways to expose yourself to the lore. I like hearing it from different people. Luetin, EoB, and Arbitor Ian are my favorites.
4:00 their armour was black, not green. You mention in the beginning that many legions wore black armour, yet fail to get that right for the very first legion.
Poor angron… he was exactly what the legion needed, he was supposed to be the emperor’s empathy, and calmed and soothed people just by his presence. The butcher’s nails erased all that. For all intents and purposes, he would have been better than sanguinius if only he didn’t have such a bad history.
@@TheSimpleMan454 In the Horus Heresy books, they had 1000 Astartes. This was prior to the flesh change. I belive the Emperor kept them at 1000 because he knew how powerful each marine could be. Each Thousand son was selected for that chapter due to their hidden psychic ability, that was they each discovered in time. Much like Grey Knights are all selected for the same reasons.
@@commmarine9547 was there also not a mention of a thousand getting teleported from prospero? i think ahriman said something like that in 'a thousand sons', considering he's a corvidae and trying to understand the future was a big theme of the book
He’s actually called “Lion”, with the last name “El’jonson”. Supposedly in the language of Caliban (his adopted home planet), it means “Lion, Son Of The Forest”. Games Workshop originally named him after a British poet named Lionel Johnson, who wrote the poem “Dark Angel”- which is a pretty cool idea. (In the earliest mention of Lion, GW actually spelled his name “Lyyn Elgonsen”.)
i feel like luthar striking lion down doesnt give him justice in this video u should have included that the lion hesitated so he got struck down but great video i didnt know the lion recruited the calliban knights!No hate and much love.
change from Luna Wolves to SoH wasn´t at the start of the heresy, it was shortly before that, after the Ullanor campaign, where was Horus titled the Warmaster. There was still a brief window of them being SoH and still absolutely loyal. Also... 100% of the legion was behind Horus? Loken, Tarik and multiple squads if not companies would beg to differ, they were hand picked for the first wave on Istvaan III to die during the bombardment or in the aftermath cleanup.
So, in the contest with Vulcan, no one noticed that the guy next to Vulcan was 14 feet tall? Maybe it's me, but if I ever saw a 14' tall guy, I'd probably just assume "Oh, that guy's probably an Emperor, or something."...
Been some things that don’t cover(like Istvaan 3,history of Mortarion and Perturabo,loyalists in traitor legions or traitors in loyal legions) and mistakes(Horus was tricked to join Chaos,Luna wolfs don’t turn into Sons of Horus after betrayal). But not bad
2 Red (Blood Angels/TSons), 3 Black-ish (RGuard, DAngels, Iron Hands[metallic black], 3 blue-ish (Umarines, NLords, AlphaL [dark aqua]), 2 White (WScars, WorldE), 4 Grey-ish (SWolves, DGuard, WBearers [Gal Vorbek were Crimson], IronW [Metallic/Iron]), 2 Greenish (Salamanders, SonsOH [were bluish grey as the Luna Wolves]), 1 Yellow (ImpFists), 1 Purple (Emp Children) So actually Grey was the most common color
They not only built fortresses but built much of the defenses and oversaw most of the logistics and construction of said defenses such as mining warp lanes denying the enemy access or slowing them down enough for either long range weapons or ambushes that can destroy their opponents or slow them down enough to allow for allied forces to retreat to safer positions or planets.
Awesome video as most all of EoB's are. But Angron's guys Haaaated him. They wanted to rebel against him even before the heresy, they were outright ashamed of him. The HH novel 'Betrayer' deals with this, to the point that the title 'Betrayer' can be applied to not only Angron, Kharn, but to pretty much most anyone who met Angron (including his brothers, as everyone pretty much saw him as a crazed liability) ...not hot (except Kharn.... and Lothara)
Angron killed Thousands of his sons when he first arrived with his legion. The World eaters would walk into the room where he was kept (imprisoned for their safety) and have fight him to prove they were his sons. Only Karn was able to sate Angron. Angron then accepted those remaining.

For the Dark Angels, it’s a little inaccurate. They didn’t purposefully betray the Lion. They were tricked by a bitter and corrupted Luthor* into attacking the Lion because they thought the Lion was a traitor. Leman also didn’t convince Emps to kill Magnus, Horus intercepted and changed part of the order and ordered the execution of Magnus, not the return of Magnus. Curze not only hated his legion when he arrived with them, his new recruits came from the lawless Nostramo and made him despise the legion even more. He claimed he couldn’t purge any loyalist marines because he didn’t know if there were any. While the Iron Hands did hate the flesh, and mimicked Ferrus’s iron hands, Ferrus tried to change this up until his death. Also, the Iron Hands were so shattered by the Massacre literally couldn’t reforge their legions. Only a few hundred were left. They did reforge, but made themselves weaker through it. Almost…** For Death Guard, they weren’t super special for having 1/3 of the legion being loyal to Emps. All of the traitor legions at Istvaan 3 had around 1/3 of their legions purged. I’m pretty sure it was always clear that the T-Sons were psykers, and that their mutations happened right after they left to Crusade… idk though. Not entirely sure. However, Magnus had to sell part of his soul to Tzeentch for the cure, which was the start of his fall. And his message to Emps was turned away by the psykic barriers that protected the Golden Throne, and Tzeentch tricked Magnus into breaking it by going through the Webway. That’s why the wolves were set upon Prospero Sons of Horus weren’t exactly cut the head off the snake. While they did do this, they were shock troops meant to crush the enemy in one battle, and one swift strike. Corvus was the primarch who cut the head off the snake in a quick stroke. They were also quite diplomatic, not just warlike. The Luna Wolves became the Sons of Horus after Emps suggested Horus change the name in honour of Horus being Warmaster. Horus didn’t betray the loyalist at Istvaan 5. He purged his legion at Istvaan 3, and then fought the loyalists at Istvaan 5. It was WB, IW, NL, AL who betrayed the RG, IH, and Salamanders at drop site. Salamanders were reckless, especially when Vulkan joined them because the Promethean Cult preaches self-sacrifice. Salamanders would join the battle wherever citizens were in the most danger, and that would oftentimes lead to their deaths. Raven Guard got to name the Mark 6 after their Primarch; the mark 6 Corvus pattern. Luna Wolves used the Ravens as an extension of his legion. Corvus, was somewhat against this, but it came to a head at the battle of Gate 42 where Horus used his legion in the wrong way, contrary to Corvus’s advice, caused Corvus to never fight with Horus again. *who was regretful in 41k but was freed by Chaos and who knows what they’ll do with him. **they started to hide their emotions, which caused them to be manipulated by Slaanesh (or Tzeentch, don’t remember exactly) through the use of technology. Eventually they realised they needed to accept emotions and won the day.
By any chance, do you remember the comic book Boris The Bear? It was published by Nicotat Comics back in the late’80s- I apologize if you aren’t as ancient as I am. Your comment just totally tossed a nostalgia bomb at me👍🏻
Not to be a giant pecker, but totally being a giant pecker- it’s not the “Lunar Wolves”, but the “Luna Wolves”. A couple of other things were incorrect, but I always enjoy your videos anyway- I watch your videos for your personality and sense of humour, not for your lore accuracy ❤️
It was the opposite, the world eaters hated Angron and had the most loyalist marines in their legion. They were purged at Istvan, So many World Eaters died trying to make the nails work. Khan was the only real one who stood by Angron and could weather his churlish outbursts. He went on a quest to find a cure for the nails...... He was a real nice person.
The lion may not be a match for his brother robootsy as an auditor but I imagine he could out audit most of his brothers I think where he was really lacking was in his oratory ability and I always felt like that was more due to not always realizing that men need more inspiration than say a lion who knows his purpose and not necessarily that he lacked the rhetorical capacity.
They didn't re-organise as The Sons of Horus at the turn of Heresy - they were renamed whilst Horus was still very much loyal to the Emperor. Horus was reluctant to change their name, because he felt it was self-serving and too prideful to rename his legion "The Sons of Horus", after him. I mean... he renamed them in the first book, before any seeds of heresy had even been sewn, and he did so because others had - basically - insisted that he did, and he pretty much only did it to stop them harassing him to do so. Interested to see whether you call the Alpha Legion loyal or heretical, haha.
How about a Lost Rogue Trader and his legions, owing fealty to none and Enemies of chaos but neutral to the empire.... Lost in the depths of time and galactic distances, Returning and finding their way back. Fun. Thanks for the Lore....rail lines of warp dust indeed.
I have to ask. If a miniature painter paints Space Marines (or any of the 40k) in original paint schemes. Would their paint scheme be used by a 40k gamer? Same for the Warhammer (fantasy) miniatures. I used to paint for profit, but had no problems with custom and original paint schemes for units, as long as I kept the unit's symbols within the various factions. Like I had an order for Blood Angels in hot pink and neon orange with glow eyes and mechanical lights for a blacklighted game. The same person asked for Glowing Skeletons and undead army troops. I had custom flags, banners, and kit bashes as well in the same order. Now, this was just an example (one of the more extreme) of some of the orders I painted. Really hope I can get back into painting for profit again. I really miss the work and fun making cohesive units and armies that were unique, but still fit into the gamer's visions of the universe.
even Ultramarines.......Cmon man they are cool, getting their own video game this winter Space Marine 2!!! Featuring Captain Titus!!! Ultramarines are cool! Way cool!

For the Dark Angels, it’s a little inaccurate. They didn’t purposefully betray the Lion. They were tricked by a bitter and corrupted Luthor* into attacking the Lion because they thought the Lion was a traitor.
Leman also didn’t convince Emps to kill Magnus, Horus intercepted and changed part of the order and ordered the execution of Magnus, not the return of Magnus.
Curze not only hated his legion when he arrived with them, his new recruits came from the lawless Nostramo and made him despise the legion even more. He claimed he couldn’t purge any loyalist marines because he didn’t know if there were any.
While the Iron Hands did hate the flesh, and mimicked Ferrus’s iron hands, Ferrus tried to change this up until his death. Also, the Iron Hands were so shattered by the Massacre literally couldn’t reforge their legions. Only a few hundred were left. They did reforge, but made themselves weaker through it. Almost…**
For Death Guard, they weren’t super special for having 1/3 of the legion being loyal to Emps. All of the traitor legions at Istvaan 3 had around 1/3 of their legions purged.
I’m pretty sure it was always clear that the T-Sons were psykers, and that their mutations happened right after they left to Crusade… idk though. Not entirely sure. However, Magnus had to sell part of his soul to Tzeentch for the cure, which was the start of his fall. And his message to Emps was turned away by the psykic barriers that protected the Golden Throne, and Tzeentch tricked Magnus into breaking it by going through the Webway. That’s why the wolves were set upon Prospero
Sons of Horus weren’t exactly cut the head off the snake. While they did do this, they were shock troops meant to crush the enemy in one battle, and one swift strike. Corvus was the primarch who cut the head off the snake in a quick stroke. They were also quite diplomatic, not just warlike. The Luna Wolves became the Sons of Horus after Emps suggested Horus change the name in honour of Horus being Warmaster. Horus didn’t betray the loyalist at Istvaan 5. He purged his legion at Istvaan 3, and then fought the loyalists at Istvaan 5. It was WB, IW, NL, AL who betrayed the RG, IH, and Salamanders at drop site.
Salamanders were reckless, especially when Vulkan joined them because the Promethean Cult preaches self-sacrifice. Salamanders would join the battle wherever citizens were in the most danger, and that would oftentimes lead to their deaths.
Raven Guard got to name the Mark 6 after their Primarch; the mark 6 Corvus pattern. Luna Wolves used the Ravens as an extension of his legion. Corvus, was somewhat against this, but it came to a head at the battle of Gate 42 where Horus used his legion in the wrong way, contrary to Corvus’s advice, caused Corvus to never fight with Horus again.
*who was regretful in 41k but was freed by Chaos and who knows what they’ll do with him.
**they started to hide their emotions, which caused them to be manipulated by Slaanesh (or Tzeentch, don’t remember exactly) through the use of technology. Eventually they realised they needed to accept emotions and won the day.
The Boris Bearesy
By any chance, do you remember the comic book Boris The Bear? It was published by Nicotat Comics back in the late’80s- I apologize if you aren’t as ancient as I am. Your comment just totally tossed a nostalgia bomb at me👍🏻
Alpha Legion are Traitors... Or are they?
SLEEPER AGENTS.
working to undermine CHAOS.
but you didn't hear that from me.

He held his iPad upside down the whole time. My rage. My hatred. I can’t handle it
Great video! Thanks.
We need Drunk Warhammer Lore with Jay.
"who are the fallen?"
*pulls out plasma pistol*
Hi jay, I really enjoy your videos :)
2:56 but did they dance whenever they're able?
I hear that they ate ham, and jam, and Spam. A LOT.
The alpha legion isn't traitor... wait no.... maybe....
Of couse the salamanders are hot! Have you seen the amount of flamers?
Great effort and fun watching it all 😁
Not to be a giant pecker, but totally being a giant pecker- it’s not the “Lunar Wolves”, but the “Luna Wolves”. A couple of other things were incorrect, but I always enjoy your videos anyway- I watch your videos for your personality and sense of humour, not for your lore accuracy ❤️
It was the opposite, the world eaters hated Angron and had the most loyalist marines in their legion. They were purged at Istvan, So many World Eaters died trying to make the nails work. Khan was the only real one who stood by Angron and could weather his churlish outbursts. He went on a quest to find a cure for the nails...... He was a real nice person.
Yo jay, the primarch of the Ravenguard is Corvus Corax my guy, not Conrad Curze ;)
The lion may not be a match for his brother robootsy as an auditor but I imagine he could out audit most of his brothers I think where he was really lacking was in his oratory ability and I always felt like that was more due to not always realizing that men need more inspiration than say a lion who knows his purpose and not necessarily that he lacked the rhetorical capacity.
I needed this video!!!
They didn't re-organise as The Sons of Horus at the turn of Heresy - they were renamed whilst Horus was still very much loyal to the Emperor. Horus was reluctant to change their name, because he felt it was self-serving and too prideful to rename his legion "The Sons of Horus", after him. I mean... he renamed them in the first book, before any seeds of heresy had even been sewn, and he did so because others had - basically - insisted that he did, and he pretty much only did it to stop them harassing him to do so.
Interested to see whether you call the Alpha Legion loyal or heretical, haha.
Dark angels was black during horus heresy, they changed to green after the conflict and only ravenwing keep the black colour scheme in 40k.
Rails of Warpdust
That's the new album by the Fulgrim Fluffers.
How about a Lost Rogue Trader and his legions, owing fealty to none and Enemies of chaos but neutral to the empire.... Lost in the depths of time and galactic distances, Returning and finding their way back. Fun. Thanks for the Lore....rail lines of warp dust indeed.
RUclips's subtitles think the White Scars are led by a chap called 'jacket icon'.
Amazing video but oh my your iPad is upside down and it’s ruining me🤣
I have to ask. If a miniature painter paints Space Marines (or any of the 40k) in original paint schemes. Would their paint scheme be used by a 40k gamer? Same for the Warhammer (fantasy) miniatures. I used to paint for profit, but had no problems with custom and original paint schemes for units, as long as I kept the unit's symbols within the various factions. Like I had an order for Blood Angels in hot pink and neon orange with glow eyes and mechanical lights for a blacklighted game. The same person asked for Glowing Skeletons and undead army troops. I had custom flags, banners, and kit bashes as well in the same order. Now, this was just an example (one of the more extreme) of some of the orders I painted.
Really hope I can get back into painting for profit again. I really miss the work and fun making cohesive units and armies that were unique, but still fit into the gamer's visions of the universe.
even Ultramarines.......Cmon man they are cool, getting their own video game this winter Space Marine 2!!! Featuring Captain Titus!!! Ultramarines are cool! Way cool!
Dark angel were black, they became green after Caliban was destroyed
I can't believe I'm about to spend 300 dollars

got wayyy too invested in your hot or not pronouncements...
any chance we can get the official EOB tier list next? :D
Me seeing video pop up in feed.: Oh this should be a great video, Jay talking about all the SM legions, why not.
Me 4 minutes into the video: Oh crap...stop..stop...Spoilers!!!
....in retrospect, I really should have known better XD.
Vulkan and big E were equally matched in the trials i think
During the trials the people watching either decided it would take too long (holding a anvil over head) or what they did was completely equal (forging the best weapon they can)
but big E caught the bigger salamander though,
Just curious Jay what brushes do you use? Maybe I missed it in one of your earlier videos. Thanks
You forgot the part where the 6th Legion are the best Legion. But great job!
Trying to talk to an imperial fist is like trying to talks to someone with the personality of a calculator eg cold, precise and practical
30k Ultramarines are so much better and more characterful than 40k Ultramarines.
Death Guard! No question if they are hot! How dare you hesitate! :-P
Bro, the iron warriors are NOT hot. They were so mid, the Emperor forgot he even had a Perturabo. This message brought to you by the Imperial Fists
😆 Awesome comment!
Erm Hours killed off a load of his legion in the drop site massacre at istvan III.
We have 2 angel legions and 2 wolf legions and 2 iron legions
