Horus Heresy - Full Introduction | Warhammer 40K Lore

The emperor was asking for trouble when he named his favourite son Horus Heresy

If only Horus hadn’t smoked that Devil’s lettuce, then all of this could’ve been averted

One thing i never understood about the books was how they would emphasize how handsome Horus was. I look at him and think 80 year old Bruce Willis.

remember all of this started cause horus got stabbed with a poop knife

Loyalist: “A good life isn’t it captain?” looks at the incoming bombardment Tarvitz: “The best”

Samus is the man who upvotes Janovich videos!

Your voice is absolutely perfect for this. Good shit dude

We can't forget how Rylanor just plopped down in a hanger, wounded, and waited for centuries to tey and kill his former Primarch...what a chad.

This guy has animations background music and sound fx??? Since when do Warhammer lore bots go this hard??? I subscribed so hard!!!

Kurrs after finding an unconscious Vulcan. "Neat." picks up Vulcan

As someone who has just finished Horus Rising and is halfway through False Gods, this visual breakdown is an absolutely essential accompaniment piece to better visualize the events, characters and plotline of those books.

An aspect of the heresy that has always struck me was that the ones who ultimately betrayed the Imperium tended to view themselves as above the ordinary humans. False Gods literally features superhuman soldiers conspiring to unalive a poet for the crime of criticizing them and acting like it is an outrage for Imperial army officers to call for one of their own to stand trial for crimes against civilians. Astartes like Abadon and the other traitors not only think that being superhumans make them better than ordinary people, but that such a trait elevates them above the law.

This is the highest quality HH recap ever made. I would LOVE to see a similar video covering the siege of terra is as much depth

the introduction of "how Horrus ruined Christmas" such a colorful reading/audiobook to listen to when on a road trip.

I really like the tiny detail at 26:26 with the eye of terror there

I love this format. I feel like it’s something about an actual historical event I’d watch on Kings and Generals or something.

It's honesty kinda sad that we see the breakdown of the series this early: In Horus Rising Dan Abnett sets up Horus looking down on humanity and resenting mortals taking over what the Primarchs and Astartes have conquered, implying it will be the unifying cause Chaos comes to exploit. In False Gods however Graham McNeill has Horus duped to believe the Emperor is trying to be a god and makes that Horus' cause to rebel. And while the irony of Horus causing the future he seeks to prevent under false premises (and almost making those premises true as a consequence of his actions as of The End and the Death) is delicious, it also means there is little unifying cause in the rebellion since Horus' source is literally "it came to me in a dream". Because there is no unifying cause every traitor primarch gets their own fall story and reason to rebel, which gives them very diferent motivations that demands they all pull to different directions, so that's what each writer begins to build on. Almost each Primarch's tragic law also become crippling, and Horus even lampshades this. As a result the Prmarch that was made Warmaster for his ability to get his brothers work together can't actually do that once he switches sides.

I think 14:07 conversation with sindermann and unded Jubal killing 2 remembrances was happening in whisperheads stronghold and not in flagship

1:10:40 one rare moment where "Trust me, Bro." really worked out.

Janovich with some of the best 40k content! I cant wait to see how you'll cover the entire Heresy...and the Siege of Terra!
