@@BloodyArchangelusI mean it gets cleared up in like a paragraph
For the record there IS a warband of classic green-tinted "Sons of Horus" still around in 40k canon.
They're called the True Sons and they maintain loyalty to Horus instead of Abbadon.
Also Lucius beat Garviel pretty soundly in their rematch.
My Chaos Marines are a True Sons warband, I just love that there’s a group of Sons of Horus that told Abbadon to jog on when he was forming the Black legion.
@@hansgruber3064
Same, although I think ya boy Huron Blackheart is probably the biggest dunk on everything associated with Abaddon.
Moreso even than Sigismund, Vashtorr and Eldrad.
I wonder, and I expect this to be considered a bad idea, but what if a cult formed from the remnants of the Sons of Horus to try and give rise to a warp entity that was a sort of twisted version of Horus, that was created by being a sort of "tear in the warp" when the Emperor deleted him? Like, it isn't the real Horus, but a sort of shadow of him?
@@wikipediaintellectual7088 I wish they had actualy put in as much effort into Horus and his legions fall that they did for Huron.
You can agree with almost every move he made getting shat on by the imperium.
I'd have prefered skirmishes like Prospero to start between individual legions that Horus tries to step in to stop, but only ends up galvanising the emergent "loyalists" and "traitor'" sides more.
Perhaps Horus steps in to save a peaceful Alien civilisation that tried to ally with him, and is forced to kill imperial army or Space wolves to do so, standing up for the newly conqured worlds with a general confusion of command between the imperium, since he is the warmaster, the emperors apointed ruler, yet the wolves and administratum are under orders from the Siglite, the emperors right hand.
All the while the word bearers twist this further, provoking more confrontations and finaly as things realy go to hell Erebus turns Horus and begins instigating chaos corruption through the seperatist side, till eventualy, after several assasination attempts and the begining of fullscale war the seperatists decide to purge their ranks in Istvaan of all those unwilling to oppose the emperors vision.
@@chromicm6686
Could it have been done better? Sure.
Personally I think the timing for chaotic corruption was way off. It was completely unecssary to have not only the Horus' fall but the galaxy spanning war fought by demigods occur over such a short period of time.
It has taken significantly longer for the Horus Hersesy books to come out than it took for the Horus Heresy to end. I think your ideas could've addressed that by making things more gradual.
With that exception, though, I really, really like the first three horus heresy novels. They even managed to make Abaddon a compelling character.
"That's why your primarch dead."
Dead as hell.
That's why your Warmaster ain't got no arms
Shut up...get out of my battle fortress.
@@memelord1862 He can't pray to the ruinous powers.
“Were you even able to bury him?”
i think what made the Sons of Horus cool was that they were noble originally, despite their background. they enjoyed warfare like any astartes, but they were never cruel or blood thirsty. never relishing in the slaughter, but as much flak some people give horus for turning so quickly i think the books did a good job of showing how just a few cracks, and some change in perspective could turn this specific legion from unlikely super stars of the imperium, to the arch traitors, killing anyone who dared defied them and their warmaster
@@alsonallu8642 In early books Primarchs have almost mind-control of own sons. dont think about them serious. Early heresy is outdated meme.
I think they definitely played their role perfectly as THE antagonist in a universe full of antagonists
yeah, I think they are better as antagonists than anything else

The Flesh Terrors did find a loyalist Luna Wolf in Stasis on a space hulk

"THEY DID WHAT?"
"yeahh...."

You know who else hate Erebus, and may have beat him nearly to death. Kharn.
You know what legion Kharn came from.
WORLDEATERS
Yeah. He didn't appreciate Erebus killing his buddy.
"Get up."
*BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!*
*SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!*
Kharn was going to kill him if he didn't have plot armor.
Hey there are actually remenants of the sons of horus legion that still identify as that legion they are called the True Sons and also there is a lot more to the 16th Legion than their favorite tactic of killing the enemys leaders. The problem is no one talks about them!
It’s sad but I thinks they are only in their so people can play their 30k army in 40k
There's others, too, like the Wolves of Horus! There _were_ also the Sons of the Eye until Drecarth got killed...
Yeah it's really annoying how underrepresented they are. Especially as I think I may be one of the extremely few people who painted their generic CSM as True Sons
@@BigBarry67 I did that too! Or at least painted them as so e form of Sons of Horus, complete with Justaerin and a FW contemptor!
@@BigBarry67 what’s the typical reaction? I love the sons of Horus aesthetic but more a Night Lords fan. I was thinking of starting either a new Necron, Tau, or Chaos army
Targaddon is 40k's best boy. The real hero. In my headcannon he joked his way out of the horus heresy and we all kived happily ever after.
Why do you think Little Horus fought Tarik instead of Garviel? I keep thinking about, like size for size Tarik is way bigger, more Abaddons size?
I think it’s because Ezekiel knew that if Little Horus went against Loken, that Loken MAY have convinced him to stop.
Because the scene where LH kills Tarik, it’s said that Loken could see regret/hesitation in his eyes.
@@vicstanfieldshire7754I still think little Horus should have been the one to lower the vengeful spirit’s gellar fields, not horus
@@Qver-gd9bg that would have blown my mind lol
Horace Lubricate was too bald for the universe to handle.

Horus lupickle
Quick correction, the interex actually supassed the imperium of man in technological prowess. They had more advanced, far more manuverable power armor that anyone could wear without issue, bows that shot arrows of energy that could instantly kill space marines, and IIRC; they also had functioning men of iron that didnt betray them, and were aware of the dangers of chaos.
"Magic Poop Knife" made me exhale through my nose
I won’t lie, I genuinely LOVE the Sons of Horus, and plan on getting and painting a SoH army for 30k and a True Sons army for 40k. From their color scheme, which idk why but the gold and dark green with the contrast of big red Eyes of Horus just looks so baller to me, to the whole “suped up, disciplined ganger” aesthetic they have, kinda similar to the NL with their culture being heavily influenced by Nostroman gang culture. In fact, when it comes to their aesthetic, like many other legions have their own “aesthetics” (WS=Mongols, DA=Classical Knightly Orders, IF=US Marines and Teutonic Knights in a blender), the SoH have a blend of that ganger culture and the Roman Kingdom. Where as Bobby G and the Blue Crew are more akin to Late Republic/Imperial Rome, SoH feels like the early Roman Kingdom; a gaggle of tough as nails marauders that can beat people around because of their discipline, while not sacrificing their savagery
Didn't know that Early Roman aesthetic influence, fella. Any artwork or references where I can find some sources of that Roman vibe into the SoH? I love the concept you pointed out there
LUPERCAL!!!
I like the Black Legion terminators. My all-time favorite terminators, with their little fur patches, their colorful skull ornaments, and those cool tusks. There should be a T'au battle suit with mammoth tusks and razor claws, that'd be sick. Also, when T'au?
I play Sons of Horus PURELY because they have the coolest fucking armor color. If there was an Orange legion I would paint that in a heartbeat, but the muted seafoam green of the SoH is fantastic, and then you highlight it with teal and do a dark wash, it comes out looking fantastic.
That "I'm Arthur" is literally why I come here.
comically enough, half the people who show up absolutely hate it
and the other half think it's iconic

I love the way you explain all this lore! It really makes it so much easier for me to understand!!👍👍👍👍😉
Theres like two to three SoH Warbands with one of them emulating the Luna Wolves and another making wood statues of Horus to burn(in a venerating way)
100% agree. Garviel is quite literally the best character in all of the lore. He was never a Sons of Horus. He was and remains a Luna Wolf, a true son of Cthonia, and a loyal servant the The Emperor of Mankind, beloved by all.
I agree, Loken id a prodigy with unbreakable morals like the Batman, its hard to dislike a dude like that
there's so many hidden gems in the lore but there's so much lore to go through. Dantioch is my own go to.
@henrypaleveda7760 honestly any loyalist from traitor legions are always the best characters. Look at Ancient Rylanor
During that vision where he saw the Emperor as a god he also saw statues of only 9 of the 18 Primarchs, and then got told that the Emperor had the other 9 erased from the history books
Horus actually has a way back, when the Emperor killed his soul his soul wasn't actually all there, part of it is still undergoing to trials of the chaos gods iirc.
Yea, but most of the people never read the actual books and just rely on a person, that listened to a another person and this person just read the wiki
@@Kor-Phaeronaccuracy? In my Warhammer?
Seriously though, people like parroting memes. Many youtubers do this.
Tbf can you blame people not wanting to read/listen to like 60 books when 3/4 are at best not really important and don't really contain anything super necessary and at worst a waste of time but a neat story if you are lucky? Additionally you have to hope that GW remember this tid bit and it's not "ret-conned".
pretty sure Maloghurst sorted that out in slaves to darkness
@@kharn4770 kinda, but what he is referring to something that happens later on. I don't want to spoil you bro
To put into perspective how big of a fuck up they were, there wouldnt be 40k without them or at the very least, it wouldnt be grimdark
When you get too abaddon please don’t just roast him please.
I genuinely do like his backstory and motives and I just hope you do him even a fraction upon a fraction of him justice.
(Plus his model is goated)
Incompetence wears terminator armor.
His model can’t be that great when he’s got no arms
It can also can FULL SPRINT in Terminator Armor… that’s some competent incompetence.
I really liked early Ezekiel, so I’m hoping he gets some points for playing Horus like a fiddle.
Abaddon was killed by Sigizmund. Only living corpse remained as Horus once was
"...did the F*cky Wucky" It's like Chaucer is in the room with us.
Imperial taxes are heavy and was the most common complaint that Horus got every day. The great crusade was expensive and the cost was paid most heavily by ones who resisted the Imperium. Arguably if the taxes were lower the Horus Heresy wouldn't have happened.
"He turned us into Killers !!!" - Unknown SoH legionnaire
Garviel Loken is hands down the best, as much as I love Sigismund Garviel is better. If Loken had his own chapter they'd probably be my favorite, since he doesn't I have to go with Sigismund and the black templars
Im still waiting for Loken to show up in current lore, the Lions soul was trapped in the warp, when Loken stepped thru the portal, who knows he might come out now with the rift open
I was so happy when he survived Book 3 and showed up later. I loved that he was the only one at the end who grieved for Horus after the others got the Emperor away
In my head, Cawl created a Primaris group as a successor to the Dark Angels who wear all white and may have accidentally used Sixteenth Legion stock. Oopsie whoopsie.
And concur. Gabriel Loken is my favorite.

@@TheBoneZone40k Yep, some of my old loyalist Sons of Horus I made for Roboutian Heresy. Can be found in DeviantArt under Nemris
“Alright boys, i know we failed 76 times, but this time i have a plan.” -Abaddon
Kind of hard to fight an established empire with a scattered legion, youd have to slowly build up to strength again to fight an imperial front in this i agree Abaddon raiding weakpoints and having few total wins is accurate
Regarding recruiting gangers for the Sons of Horus: the Space Wolves were recruited from viking raiders, and Alpharius and his initial handful of followers were space pirates, so it's not like this kind of thing is exactly unprecedented in the Imperial military. It even works out okay quite a lot of the time: the Armageddon and Necromundan regiments of the Imperial Guard recruit from hive gangers, and they both have a highly-respected history of service.
Ah yes, the "im the horus heresy" of the most warhammering forty thousand baldy
If only horus hadnt turned because some random entities had shown him a dubious vision while his brother was standing there telling him it was a trick but somehow said "duh i know" then woke up like "so anyway i joined them"
So close to the 18th Legion, VULKAN LIVES 🔥🔥🔥
Yes brother VULKAN LIVES!!!!🔥🔥🔥
I’ve got plans to make a successor chapter of them that have gone semi renegade in the Imperium Nihilus and the more lore i have of them the better so thanks mr Arthur guy
3:16 Never forget the only lovable character there: Tarik mustache Torgaddon
pour one out for the real one
That description at the beginning LOL describes Horus so much haha. Love your series.
Horus is so dead he ended up in the Retconnian without actually being retconned out of the lore.
Every time I think of Magnus finding Horse and erbus in the warp all I can think about is that breaking bad meme where Walter is yelling at hank from the car
That background picture by nemris is actually tied to the Roboutian Heresy as in they are ALL loyalists in that scenario
Lol.
*The Emperor replied. Any human emotion was bereft of his tone.*

HORUS HORUS HORUS HORUS
LETS FUCKING GO
Says “Holy terror” at 6:10. That’s what happens when the Night Haunter is on the brain.
12:19 There is actually one! A splinter of the Black Legion made up of members with Horus’s geneseed. They’re called The True Sons and people have made some pretty radical paint jobs for them.
9:37 - an upbeat intermission
Also the story about how they earned their original name was badass.
"We surrender! Tell the Emperor to call of his wolves!"
I think the emperor thought the oldest son was ready to handle the house while on a buisness trip. But didn't bother to talk about what to do in a emergency
Well, Horus died stabbed by a blade that can kill anything, then he got hit with conscience virus by the power of chaos undivided which is greater than a primmarchs by lightyears, the emperor was right until thos happened its a far fetched happening
They REALLY should've got Guilliman to be the Warmaster.
He feels like someone who would be calm enough to deal with infinite paperwork and complaints.
It does sound like horus was promoted beyond his abilities and had a nervous breakdown.
Guilliman wasn’t universally respected and was seen as one of the ‘runt’ primarchs during the Great Crusade. I think Sanguinius would’ve been the better pick.
I think it’s because Guiliman repeatedly expressed doubt about killing all of the Xenos when he wanted to make peace with the friendlier ones.
I would love to see a corrupted-but-pre-Istvann Massacre Sons of Horus detachment that got lost in the Warp emerge into realspace in Imperium Nihilus and try to bluff their way into Dante's presence without knowing anything about what has happened in the past 10,000 years.
Erebus may have lit the match but the primarchs were a powder keg waiting to explode. Lorgar would have done the heresy if Horus hadn’t fallen
13:25 Rylanor, dantioch, constantine valdor.
I mean he could barely beat Lucius but without a shadow of a doubt Loken is my favourite character closely followed by Torgaddon and Kharn
I just started reading the Horus Heresy.... and yeah.... F Erebus!
He is kind of the root cause of everything
There's a guy who does angry rant videos about WH40k. And to paraphrase "if you have Lorgar, KorPharon, and Erebus tied up and a gun with 2 bullets; shoot Erebus with both and then beat his corpse with the gun until it breaks".
“YOU DARE RETURN TO ME IN FAILURE!?!?!”
“ c’mon Loken, relax “ - Sons of Horus as they perform things the Emperor clearly prohibits in their cabal 😂
lol imagine getting stabbed with a magic poop knife and deciding to join the guys who stabbed you
Ah yes the backstory chaos space marines
If you think they're bad you should hear what their primarch did.
If you want 40k Sons of Horus you're probably looking for Thrice-Cursed Traitors: the True Sons, the Wolves of Horus or the Sons of the Eye (could hypothetically regroup and escape from the Black Legion's ranks).
The Chosen of Heiros left Black Legion for some reason, not sure what's going on with them. I like warbands like this because it's easy to follow what's known and fill in whatever you want with the rest. You want them to run around with Vashtorr? to embrace Khorne and/or Tzeentch but they reject Slaanesh and Nurgle? maybe you don't like Abaddon, so your Abaddon is actually a fake, (an ancient Alpha Legion Praetor) running around uniting Thrice-Cursed stragglers and using them for cryptic schemes (and maybe even your "Abaddon" model is sporting the old green as a ploy to recruit them).
Horus Lupercal is the true Warmaster!
0:26 Oh, only every morning when I take a look in the bathroom mirror.
You ever think of how Horus is kinda like Sigmar when he got stabbed by his buddy and ended up in a weird dream? But Sigmar's dad shows up and is like "Hey, man. Itll be cool. Fight Chaos". No dad comes to save Horus.... I think.... Its been like 20 years since I read the first Horus Heresy books.
"Hey man, Horus, dude, we're just asking questions. Really think about it, what DO you know about your father, the Emperor?"
5:56 I thought you were gonna say "the night haunter's war crimes"
he'd need more than a filing cabinet to keep track of *those*
2:18 The Imperial Fists get theri recruits from many places, including NECROMUNDA specifically looking for gangers.
The Horus heresy spans well over 60 books ...the siege of terra adds more to that count and the scouring is what happens when his forces lose and about their retreat into the warp.
Then there are the other books and novellas that are to do with it ...think more around 100 ...and you're closer
I really hope we get more 30k books following from the end and the death v3. I would love to see what comes after.
I swear to god with these intros you can hear the smile in this man's voice. Either that or he's high out of his mind.
I am making a sons of horus 40k army they use black legion rules but are painted sons of horus style and have the reavers squads and justaerin. And as you said violence in a short ammount of time is a great way to describe the sons of horus
Best theory is still that Sanguinius fell to the black rage, completely annihilated Horus and then when big E found him, he attacked him causing big e to hold back and get wounded before mercy killing Hawk boi.
That's my favorite theory and I'm gonna stick with it anyways. Blackraged so hard even future sons keep tripping on it.
And adds extra layer of big sad too.
@@gravebird398 exactly. Tbh if they’d pull that in the end and the Death part 2 I’d flip my shit, but I’d completely roll with the retcon since it is so like the imperium to turn the most pivotal event in its history into propaganda
I'm glad I chose these guys as my loyalist homebrew
You know what else is a big problem? The fact that this isn’t a raptors video.
5:44 bro that shit machete joke had me wheezing! I’ve never heard a more accurate description of it before 😂
You won't see an Sons of Horus or Luna Wolf warband in 40K because Abaddon hunted them all down
Solid vid today! Can't wait for the Abaddon vid!
Horus really showed one of the most human side during the Interex incident, too much pressure and hope had put on his shoulder by others and also himself, and it only took one bad day, after all even primarchs can’t part their human nature.
Let Horus’ treacherous husk forever be damned to torment and cruelty at the hands of his malevolent benefactors!
*spits on Worldbreaker
Imho after reading the Horus Heresy it seems like most of what happened was on traitor Primarchs/their seconds/Erebus and now they blame the loyalists despite being directly responsible for the shitty state Imperium is in and also perpetuating the war with Imperium hence damning and destroying humanity further.
I have a Sons of Horus chaos space marine warband called „TRUE SONS“. And a back story how they survived the scouring and the traitor legion wars in the eye of terror.
The fall is always juicy especially after all that ego and pride only a fool would trust Erebus same with Horus being convinced by a false vision
well its getting more nuanced now. With the event in the books showing that Horus did know that the vision wasnt real but still choosing to rebel anyway, and now with the lastest book showing that horus is not losing control to corruption and is instead in complete control and about to elevate into the 5th chaos god.
@@_NutcasE_did Aaron demski wrote it? Cause it sure sounds like him and his hate boner for the imperium

I like the Sons of Horus. So much so, I have both a Black Legion (my 1st 40k army) and Sons of Horus army. It's good to be first among traitors, heel of heels and, with no uncertainty, the bad guys.
*cough cough* true sons in warhammer 40k horus shall raise again as a god.
Dunno if you know or if anyone cares but there is a faction of Sons of Horus who still exist in 40k. The "True Sons of Cthonia" are a warband who keep their colors and legion culture and hate Abby and the Black Legion. They also are just renegades so rarely use Chaos. Great video!
fun fact, there still are the Thrice cursed traitors, that are warbands that still wear the colours of the Sons of Horus.. i think some even wear the colours of the Lunar wolves but unsure
4 more episodes until the cluster fuck that is the 20th legion!
No wonders Abaddon changed the name of the legion after the heresy, even the legionaires knew how awfull it was to be related to the sons of horus x)
