- The Raven Guard, for most of the Crusade, were reliable allies of Horus Lupercal. But the rediscovery of their Primarch abruptly changed the Legion and pulled them far from the Warmaster's influence.

The Emperor meeting Angron: **was forcefully teleported and let him watch his people get slain by the slavers in his home planet**
The Emperor meeting Corax: You know what, Corax. How about I give you some nuclear warheads as a gift to free your people from the slavers.
I guess parents favoritism is still rampant in the far future.
When this series ends with the next video I’m going to miss “starts during the unification wars on terra”
There may be one more with 'Adeptus Custodes'... hopefully
Adeptus mechanicus would be there too⚙
@@robertflynn4215 notably thouguh they do not start with the unification wars on terra
@@redpill1984 yah your right but after the unification war they are. I just learning about all 30k and 40k. I'm been learning about the grime dark universe that is warhammer since late 2018.
That's how everything started. You, me, Ian, everyone you've ever met or heard of. All of us.
Extra Info: When Corax was rescued by the leader of the imperial Army's Therion Cohort, Marcus Valerius, he gathered his 4 commanders to organise them into a new command structure to compensate for their lack of numbers in addition to more widespread implementation of combined stealth and shock tactics in response to the 19th's decimation:
- The Talons, led by Commander Agapito Nev. These were the standard "Line" infantry of the Raven Guard and often infiltrated ahead of other forces for intel gathering, long range assassinations of key targets and reinforcements to other Imperial forces. These include Tactical Squads of the standard and Support variants, Despoilers, Reconaissance and Scout squads and the wraith slipping Mor Deythan Strike Squads.
- The Hawks, formerly led by Commander Solaro An and succeeded by the Terran-born Soukhunu upon An's death. They served as mounted hit and run specialists on Land Speeders and aircraft.
- The Falcons, led by the Xeric Commander Aloni, utilised Terminators of all armour marks, including the Terran Deliverer Squads trained by Horus and desperate for Corax's approval, and jump troops from Assault Squads, Destroyers Squads and Moritats to the Deliverance-born Dark Fury Assault Squads. These were close combat shock troops used for sudden violence when all detail of the enemy is prognosticated by the Talons.
- The Raptors, led by Agapito's blood brother Branne, one of the Raven Guard who had not been on Isstvan V, a quality shared with the battle brothers he now led. These Raptors were basically the blueprint upon which the Primaris of the 41st Millenium are drawn from, stronger, faster, better than their contemporaries at the time. Where regular Astartes were created over countless years of surgery and service, the Raptors were created in less time and were believed to be the future of the Legion. That was, until "Alpharius" was caught within the ranks of the 19th and later found to have tampered with the Raptor's gene stock. After the end of the Heresy, Corax gave his poor Raptors the Emperor's Mercy, sat in the Ravenspire for one year to have a long brood, then set off for the Eye of Terror to hunt down the traitor Lorgar, being mutated by the Warp in the process.
Love this comment. Thank you for the extra info!
Changed by the warp, but not tainted by the 4 gods. He rips through traitor legionaires especially the son's of lorgar. I believe (my .02) if the Primarch returns to the imperium, he'll have the ability to change into that deamon at will, and still be loyal to his father, the emperor .
@@user-yq3fz9ch5q loyal to the Emperor, but disgusted of what happened to the current Imperium.
@@gamechanger8908 agreed, hopefully with the Lion's return, and both black and green sons, things will right themselves a bit for the imperium.
Will the Heresey 101 series continue after the Alpha Legion?
There are topics I'd love to hear about in a bit more depth, such as what happened when the Primarchs got scattered, the Geography of Terra during the Unification Wars and so on...maybe that's more 30k 101 tho 😅
I also would love to see videos about custodes, sisterhood etc...
Oh yeah, I hope he does. Talk about the minor factions and xenos encountered in the Great Crusade
All that you said plz!
Every time a new episode drops, I think to myself "Oh, that sounds awesome, I should make an army of those!" My wallet hates you but I love the content, thank you!
This.....
Same…
Raven Guard are my personal favorite Legion/ chapter. I hope they get more love soon.
As do I...
The scene where he jumps the Avenger out of the istvaan system is one of my favorite 30k moments. Corax, master of the Parthian shot.
It's a shame that the Raven Guard are so underrated and underutilized, I think they can be really cool. I hope you'll make a video about blackshields at some point too
Well with Corvus confirmed to be alive and actually doing shit
I think a case could be made that he will be the next Loyalist Primarch to return and in tow new raven guard stuff
They aren't as consistant as the Ultramarines, and a lot of their tactics rely on keeping your opponent guessing which doesn't always phase more adaptable players. The only way you really get the most out of them is to take on way more risk than most players would tollerate.
A.G.
@@mk_gamíng0609 it would be strange though because Corax is also now a terrifying warp monster. He's effectively a daemon primarch but apparently on his own terms.
@@sonicwingnut You have two separate chaos factions, I'm surprised Corax hasn't come back at the head of gene-enhanced, warp-tainted T'au warriors because that would be his thing.
A.G.
Ain't never gonna forget how the people gave corax a new state of the art jump pack to replace the one he lost at Istvan right before he and the legion were going to set off for war. So cool.
Corxax meeting his Legion Master:
"BAD IMPERIALIST! Go sit in the corner!"
Shadelord Arcus:
"Father, space doesn't have corners"
Corax:
"THEN GO FIND ONE"
As you come to the end of the Legions I'd love to see a similar format covering the non-legion forces of the Horus Heresy, like how the loyalist and traitor Mechanicum , Custodes, Sisters of Silence, Solar Auxilia changed over the great crusade and heresy.
I've never played the table top war game, but a friend introduced me to 40K TTRPGs through Deathwatch back in 2015 and I picked Raven Guard bc they're the most goth. they've been my favourite since
I can't believe there is only one more video like this to go. They have been the best indepth looks at the legions I've ever seen!
love this series. the phrase "starts during the unification wars on terra" has no become equal in my mind to "offlined by a cosmically powered Starscream" f you know ...you know :)
Yassssssssss
@@scottywan82 Woohoo!! got at least 1 crossover :)
@@princeofthevalleys5126 There are a bunch of us on Twitter, lol.
Dozens of us. DOZENS!
So stealthy that people forget the chapter exists ;)
Great video Ian as always.
_'I am what I always have been,' said Corax. 'I am vengeance incarnate. I am justice delivered.'_
Or was that Batman? I get their quotes confused sometimes...😉
@@samfirth1592 Batman was Curze :)
This place, beyond the veil, has revealed what we all are. Underneath the veneer of humanity our father crafted for us, we are of the warp.'
'Have you come to make oath to the powers that are your true creator?,' questioned Lorgar.
'No, I swore to destroy all Chaos taint from the galaxy. You will be the first fallen brother to die beneath my blades.'
'I am not the creature you fought at Isstvan,' said Lorgar, raising his mace.
'Nor am I!'
I am forever here to hear Ian say "Principia Belicosa". It's such a lovely couple of words to say.
I hope you do some more lore videos in this vein after you cover the XXth. Maybe talk about the Custodes, Titan Legions, Legio Cybernetica, etc. in 30K.
My prediction for the next of these videos:
Open on Ian (in a blue-green shirt, of course!).
He stares into the camera and into your eyes.
He says "I am Alpharius".
The screen goes black. The power goes off. There is silence.
You hear a heavy footstep behind you, and...
Corax - "Oi Terrans! Sod off, you aren't allowed to be Raven Guard"
Terran 1 - "awwww, Ravens are frickin' cool!"
Terran 2 - "Yeah, they're almost as cool as sharks!"
*idea forms*
the XIX legion I personally love because of there lore, looks and primarch. Also there successors chapters the raptors, the carcharodons and the death spectres. And there gorilla warfare tactics, flexibility in combat and masters of shadows. Victorus Aut Mortis (Victory or Death)😤😠🖤☠
Death it is.
Hydra Dominatus
@@toomaskotkas4467 ah the XX legion, the three headed hydra, the alpha legion. Loyalist or traitor who knows 🤔 😏 😉. Beside the fallen of the dark angels, I also like them. Keeping things interesting.
@@robertflynn4215 You're welcome.
Wow, I didn’t get the notification that this video came out.
CZcams needs to fix itself.
One more video left. I’m real sad about it. But the next series has to be a continuation of this series. Each video is about 1 of the 20 legions from the few years after the end of the Horus heresy to the present times in 40k.
Thank you so much for all your hard work.
Yeah I didn't get this one either
It's unlisted. Presumably intended for Patreon patrons only but he put it in the playlist already
This is awesome. Love all the per-legion and per-heresy lore. Nice video. Keep up the good work.
Excellent video as always - Can’t wait for the next one!
I've been waiting for this one. I love the series. Really looking forward to the next one, despite the fact that it'll be the last.
Excellent video! This is my favorite Legion Astartes, and I greatly enjoyed your presentation.
man the more I listen to these the more I wanna know about the Unification wars and pre-Imperium Terra
The Irony is that had horus not orderd the attack he likely could have had Coraxs loyalty during the heresy.
Ultramarine: "EMO BIRDY BOIS!!!"
Another enthralling installment. Thanks Ian.
Great video! New to your channel, subbed
Awesome! One of my favorite legions
Would love to see a follow-up series that sees where each of the primarch and legions end up, as well as a few videos on the next stages of 40k history. How did we get from the Heresy era Legions to the many chapters that came later? What did the primarchs think of that. When did they switch from the Principia Belacosa to the Codex Astartes? Would love your lore videos to cover that stuff! Thanks again for making these!
Hope you’re god sir. I love the positivity you have about this hobby and your videos are excellent.
Considering all the major reveals that just came, I’m sure you’re mega busy on the next Squatcast
These videos have been so good. We need a solution to keep making more. Maybe one for Gaunts Ghosts, or Aaiman?
Thanks for the video. Will you go into other factions after the legions? Like the Blackshields, Mechanicus, Custodes, and Sisters of Silence.
Don't forget the Imperial Army and the Solar Auxillia.
Ah, finally, my favourite legion!
I can’t believe this series is almost over! I can’t wait to watch them all in one sitting.
Not to be confused with the other Raven Marines known for stealing stuff from Custodes, of course.
I just like the idea of Space Marine stealth units, like these 8 foot tall hulking masses of war just doing shit like Espionage and Stealth.
Raven Guard: "Masters of swift and unseen assaults."
Also Raven Guard: "Heh heh. Jump pack goes brrrrr"
To be fair, Corvid Pattern Jump Packs used by the Dark Fury Assault Squads and select members of the Mor Deythan, like Nykona Sharrowkyn, the sole Raven Guard aboard the Sysipheum, run far more silently and the design allows for more dexterous control in flight.
Really enjoying this series!
Another great video.
Nung lumabas ang videos na kumakanta ang bens with ed yun din naisip ko “ano kaya feeling ng banda kino-cover ang song nila?” Hahaha we love you…
Hmm. I like these guys. I think I have three candidates now. Salamanders, White Scars, and Raven Guard.
1) What do you like painting more: Light Green, White or Black?
2) Do you like burning your enemies alive, zooming at them to lop off their heads or popping out of nowhere Assassin's Creed style?
Finally!!! My boys!
Next video, best legion, can't wait.
this man out here color coordinating his shirts half the time for these videos
Ian - is there any chance you can do a video on what the Eldar were up to during the Horus Heresy?
I've always wondered: but never read, seen or heard anything to see what happened to the Eldar during the Horus Heresy.
It seems weird to think that they'd just sit out of it.
Bear in mind the crusade happened JUST AFTER the fall of the Eldar. The birth of Slaanesh is what blew away the warp storms and ended the Age of Strife, destroying the Eldar empire and traumatising the entire species. That's partly why the Emperor was in such a hurry - the old dominant xenos species were gone and Chaos/the Warp were still reeling. Perfect time to try and steal some power and attempt a takeover before anyone realises what happened!
@@ArbitorIan Thanks for this Ian. I forgot about the birth of Slaanesh ending the warp storms. Part of the reason I asked was I remember hearing about or reading that some Eldar Craftworlds were destoryed by the Imperium during the Great Crusade.
I had to go and look up the names, so this probably isn't common knowledge. However, it seem that apparently the Thuyela and Mor'rioh'i Craftworlds were destroyed by the Space Wolves Legion and the military forces of the Imperium of Man during the Great Crusade respectively.
If this is canon though, it does make me wonder why none of the Eldar used the Horus Heresy as an opportunity to take some revenge on the Imperium.
Ultimately though whenever I think of this I just remember what a friend of mine said to me when I asked him about this during the days of Second Edition 40k
"What did the Eldar do during the Horus Heresy?"
"Watched it."
"... and what did they do during the Great Crusade?"
"Died in it."
That seems to be about as close to canon as anyone else has come in decades!
Can you do a vid on the types of power armor used during the crusade was there a particular mrk favored by each legion?
It would be interesting to see a Traitor Raven Guard (or rather Dust Nomads) army, made up of those Terrans who had been assigned to the distant fringes of the galaxy. When they learned of the civil war, some of them returned to throw their lot in with Horus. They were always more loyal to him than to Corax.
Na, The Raven guard dont need more shit dealt there way
They actually need some victories
This is explicitly a thing mentioned on their first appearance if they are traitors in the horus heresy game the get hatred against corax.
Through to be fair there is also a group of terrans that remained loyal and saved corax live and still got fucked over by him so you know the dislike was mutual.
each one of these videos I wait to see what shirt he will wear
I was today years old when I realised the world over delivance was named after Maleficent's Raven.
Can’t wait for next one which is mine. Hahaha sorry Raven Guard did your guys turn into literal birds, our bad
Anybody know what the book is that Arbitor Ian uses for reference alot? stills at 1:04 for example.
Looks like one of the FW black campagin books. Probably Book 3 Extermination. FW might have a soft back copy for sale on their website as they have stopped selling them as hardbacks
What is he ready from around 6:16?
yeees almost time for the XX
After the Alpha Legion... famous Sieges/Battles?
That’s strange. I didn’t receive a notification for this video?
I received it just some minutes ago...
@6:32 A possible Hinted origins of the Carcharodons Chapter? Perhaps???
So much that I used a load of Sharks art for their pre-Corax bit!
Does the raven guard have its own candle? Think of the bad luck you're incurring by not burning it! Oh nooo the warp will make its way into your studio! Hide, Ian, hide!
Yeeeees beaky bois!
The BIRD MEN!!!
"Shade Lord", "Predation Fleets", "Pale Nomads"...hm, I smell something fishy about those exiled terran legionaries. 🤔
I would love it, if the Alpha Legion video would only be a shrug.
What is the name of the book he is using for reference?
The old forgeworld horus heresy books
Where is Ian? I NEED to know about Alpharius.
Been wondering this too! Would be exceptionally thematic to abandon his channel before the Alpha Legion vid
It’s going to so weird when Ian goes back to making normal videos
I wanted to read a warhammer novel but they sell for like $15 USD for ebooks. Why do the books cost so much?
Nice we get South East asian decent Space Marine
Shame he didn't do to the emperor what he did to his legion master
Can't believe this series is almost done. Just the Alphas left.
Not enough.
The emperor let corax do a whole insurrection but he couldn't have let Angron save his family
Did Big E find Angron before or after Corax?
Perhaps he learned from Angron to not always force his will unto his sons.
Or he was just feeling nice that day lol.
@@Hanfgurkenhasser ya Corax was last
I love you
Yippee
Me: I don't care for space marines.
Me when Raven Guard: Listen. *Listen.* My good goth communist boys deserve so much better.
Comments from 2 days earlier than the video, keep up the good job CZcams
This video has been live for a few days now under Ian's 'videos' on his youtube page, but has only just been published to the general masses, so those comments from 2 days ago are real.
Yup, Patreon early access innit.
✌️💚
Because recon/steath giants in power armoir isn't totally moronic
1) Mark 6 Corvus armour is more lightweight and runs more silently compared to other armour marks barring the Mark X Phobos armour worn by Primaris Infiltrators, Incursors, Reivers and Eliminators.
2) This applies to all things in general, but Astartes having the big brain that they have, they'd be able to learn how to move around properly with their bodies and armour as would big athletes in real life. Think of their movements less like Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane and more like the Berserker incarnation of Heracles in Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works, which is to say generally quite lumbering and more given to straightforward brute strength but also capable of more dexterous manoeuvres. Marneus Calgar was able to catch a thrown knife in the air with his Gauntlets of Ultramar, twirl it around his fingers and and then throw it back.
Raven Guard are kind of a meh legion for me. Too many of the legions have a similar backstory of being wide ranging "terror troops" moving ahead of the main Crusade forces, and Raven Guard are just not conceptually different enough from the Night Lords. The stuff about hothousing legionaires is, yeah fine whatever.
Corax is the best part of the raven guard lore
Imagine 40k having "spoilers". It never used to have a live canon like this. Everything just always was - there was no primary source for anything.
Criminal lack of love for these guys in the game
The death guard gave the Corvid 19
Wtf is a hot house?
Literally, it's a heated greenhouse
Colloquially, it means to force-grow something faster and more intensely than usual.
Ah yes the 19th legion because stealth is a totally viable way when you are 2 and a half meters tall and weight the same as a car and use and armour that weights half as much.
However came up with this was either drunk or had brain damage.
1). Their armor is specially designed to make less noise and be stealthy, incorporating advanced camouflage tech.
2). Space Marines in general are NOT some slow moving, clumsy brutes but surprisingly agile & fast moving. Their nervous system is directly linked to their armor, imagine something like Tony Stark's Iron Man suit, but not as lean in design. To quote one of the books: "Something that big & bulky should not move like they do..." Watch the "Astartes" fan-film, in order to get the right idea how they move.
3). Some of the Ravenguard Marines also inherited Corvus Corax's special psyker ability that makes them ''invisible'' to the human eye or rather the human brain get's affected by psykic energy and can't notice them, even if they're standing right in front of you.
and last but not least
4). This is Warhammer 40k we're talking here, a universe so over-the-top, where a stealthy Space Marine is one of the lest ridiculous things.
@@doublep1980 I have seen astartes, i know the ravenguard had all kinds of stealth gimmicks in their suits and i know astartes are not clumsy but you know what they are? Heavy an now amount of padding and techno magic crap is going to take away the fact that each footspet of spcae marine no matter how careful would make a lot of noise, obviously the idea of steahlthy marines is not the dumbest idea of the legion (The alpha legion is) , I am not saying they couldn´t be stealthy to some degree, ( ligthing night raids, Guerrila warfare, and fighting retreats are all belivable to some degree) but infiltrations? not in a million years.
:D
I absolutely love these videos. But if I may, humbly, as politely as possible... You are mispronouncing the word subsequent. 😬 Sorry.
