- Hi all Wolf Lord Rho here!
Today we take a look at the very beginnings of a Primarch. With the birth of Perturabo, Hammer of Olympia.
Spoiler warning, the events we are discussing today are from the short story "The Emperor's Architect" by Guy Haley. As always I really recommend you read the story for yourself first. As that's the best way to enjoy the lore, for yourself. Not only that, but we help to support the great Games Workshop and Black Library. Because without them we don't have this amazing lore to talk about! Link: www.blacklibra...

Perturabo wanted to build a great civilisation, what a tragedy then that he didn't realise that every world his legion garrisoned was an opportunity for such an effort.
Imperial Fist: Fortify! Fortify! Fortify!
Iron Warrior: Siege! Siege! Siege!
Beat me to it!
The traitor primarchs are the most interesting part of the Horus heresy
Some of them, yeah. My personal pet peeve is poor poor Konrad. He could be SO MUCH MORE, if only Emps had helped him and guided him, what with him having a trully "lateral" gift, much like Vulkan.
The Heresy part of the Horus Heresy, eh?
Lorgar did nothing wrong
@@horuslupercal2785 he did everything wrong
I'd really like to read a face to face confrontation between Perturabo and Ferrus Manus before the fall: two brothers so similar and yet so different.
It will be a master duel :D brothers of the forge borned wraped in chains beneath the servo arms welded by a torch!The machine spirit suports these two 4 sure!
They both have legions with "iron" in their names..
Not sure about any other similarities?
From Iron, cometh Strength.
From Strength, cometh Will.
From Will, cometh Faith.
From Faith, cometh Honour.
From Honour, cometh Iron.
This is the Unbreakable Litany.
And may it forever be so.
Iron within, Iron Without.
''Iron within, Iron without. I will get ''fisted'' untill I run to the eye of terror with a bloody anus.'' Iron Warrior, shortly after getting cucked by an Imperial Fist at the battle of Terra. - 30th millenium.
@@BashtorTV did u forget the Iron Cage?
Yeah, considering that the Imperial Fists got railed so hard that Perturabo was able to ascend to daemonhood, I'm pretty sure it's not the Iron Warriors who got fisted LMAO
Iron Warriors, for how often they get crapped on by the community, don't seem to understand that thats exactly the behavior that makes Iron Warriors stronger. Its just like in the lore, with all the legions thinking so little of the IW and the things they were forced to do, or had to do to get things done. Perturabo has his flaws like any Primarch, but there is serious strength in steeling your soul and body to horror and grind, which is VERY constant in the 40k universe.
IRON WITHIN, IRON WITHOUT
οΟ I always thought that Honsu really was a great (yeah, evil, crazy, whatnot, but still great) character. Sure, Iron Warriors don't have their "MacGuffin" like other Legions, but still they were unstoppable in their strategizing. Perhaps not so much as "we go ahead always" Death Guard, but their perseverance is legendary. Too bad that Pertie had such a stupid mortal upbringing. Had circumstances been different, he would have been a great asset, perhaps a great Loyalist even. Too bad we never saw some friendly banter and rivalry between Dorn and Pertie. Heck, in one of Primarch's book we even see him laughing and smiling when he has a mini adventure - his retinue shocked that he can do it, with him turning to them "hey, I have a reputation to uphold". Oh, how great Iron Warriors could be.
Would of been cool if they stayed loyal but who of replaced them as traitor?
I love the Iron Warriors
If Perturabo was so iron within, he would've remained loyal. But yeah.
@@ironstarofmordian7098
Yeah, Pertie's ego was his biggest weakness.
I feel like Big E originally designed Papa Pert to be his Warmaster seeing as how he can run a risk benefit analysis of an entire campaign in a couple of minutes, and Inherently knew almost everything about the known galaxy, he was a machine at finding flaws in systems and fixing them to be better than the rest of the working system, A man who could steel himself and do the task at hand no matter what arose. but that was before the scattering and him finding Horus first. Iron Within Iron Without
@Omnishable and jizz Guilliman is also great at logistics. Intelligence is probably more of a Dark Angels thing. Special operations for the 20th.
I remember seeing an interesting theory on why Perturabo can see the Eye of Terror. Perturabo was instinctively able to analyze and exploit the flaws of nearly anything. What is one way to look at the eye of terror? The largest defect in physical reality.
@@ironstarofmordian7098 Guilliman is more of an administrator, a statesman, politician. Between the two of them, Perturabo is more ruthless, cold in his calculation
i see horus or sanguinius as the charismatic leader that inspires people to push onwards and perturabo as the one managing the actual process
all 20 primarks would be a more than adecuate warmaster, even angron (without the butcher nails)
Perturabo was to be the Master Logician. He represents the Emperors incredible intellect, able to analyze the art of war like a computer analyzes data. I believe if he had the charisma of Horus he could have been a prime candidate for warmaster. Because if you think about it, if war is a machine, then Perturabo is its Archmagos.
“From iron cometh strength
From strength cometh will
From will cometh faith
From faith cometh honor
From honor cometh iron
This is the Unbreakable Litany. May it forever be so”
Perturabo's true role was reflected best by his legion, which was used mostly for garrison duty, which would make Perturabo's true nature a peacekeeper, a constable or commander, or as a politician, the opposition, the one to factor in *ALL* equations and options even the ones that were unthinkable for other Primarchs. The one who can make the hard choices the others can't or won't.
I would argue that perturabos role would be in charge of managing the logistics lines of the imperium, perturabo in spite of the causalties to his men caused by the sieges they were involved in was never short on men as they had constant reinforcements from supply lines Perturabo had established before and after each conquest
Best Bard one of the main reasons Olympia rebelled. Some cities wanted to talk about quotas, others wanted to leave the Imperium due to the drain of the populous and another group was neutral.
@@BUSSTISEBOOST I understand the reasons for Olympia rebelling but I just can't help but think of Perturabo as a engineer, architect, or logistician. Perturabo is not very good with people, he will be given a task and he will surely complete it, but he will never be loved by the people, he will never advocate for better treatment for himself or others despite his own misgivings.
That's definitely Konrad's job. He's the law and order minded guy. Garrison is just where they put his legion because the other Primarchs enjoyed abusing the shit out of them.
@@jajordan2106 true but doesn't that seem to be more Rowboat Girlyboi's job?
12:11 Imagine being the blacksmith from that town working on the forges or taking a break, when this literal super baby just comes up to you an demands your tools for a project. How freaky that would be for him
Ive always wished the Iron Warriors were fleshed out more in the lore.
They're maybe my favorite legion, but with an aloof primarch, a little like Jaghatai, its hard to really get a fix on their personality.
Looking forward to more stories
I think Angel Exterminatus gave them some crucial fleshing out.
But I would like more pre-heresy lore.
I liked the Scars until they were fleshed out and now my absolute favourite
I thought “The Birth of Perturabo” was a figure of speech. I wasn’t expecting to hear the tale of him literally crawling his way out of a “womb”

Wow i can picture the giant baby standing up out of the drop pod then slowly changing into a teen while announcing "I am Perturabo"
Still thinking about The Emperor naming his Primarchs:
Big E: Yes, yes. Magnus, Corvus, Roboute, Horus, Sanguinius, Mortarion...
Scientist: What's wrong, my Lord?
E: What was that treasure called from ancient times?
S: El Dorado?
E: Ahh, yes, let's call that one.. Dorado..? Perturabo!
S: Most excellent, my Lord.
E: Then we can take the first letters for the Lion.. Lion'el?
S: Wonderful, my Lord.
E: What's your favourite basketball player again?
S: Johnson, my Lord.
E: Yes, Lion'el Johnson!
S: Glorious name, my Lord.
Doritos?)
Fucking anazing my dude
I think he was playing with his Johnson when he named the Lion !!!!
Luther named the Lion, and apparently it means "Lion, Son of the Forest" in old Calibanite. Assuming the 'El' part indicates 'son of', that would mean that "Jonson" is the word for "Forest".
What a bunch of absolute madlads.
@Eliot O'Boyce Corvus Corax is the latin name of the common raven.
Perturabo is the Evil Guilliman.
His grudge with Dorn is because of their legion combat orientation siege/fortification.
Beside Guilliman only Perturabo build so robust system that was able to support his
Krieg level of loses.
Also there is another paralel between Olympia and Macragge. (Greek and Roman)
One selfish other selfless.
I don't think any of them are inherently evil. They are just shaped by unfortunate circumstances and apparently those villagers took advantage of his helpful nature.
Primarchs are basically wasted potentials due to lack of good upbringing.
I really like the Honsou stories. Traitor without all that Chaos-god fanboydom.
And yet, even without Chaos-shenanigans, Honsou managed to out-horror Chaos with creating the most vile thing in all of 40K: The Daemoncubla.
@@randomcenturion7264 Really dont understand why people always bring it up. Yeah its dark and disturbing. It was mentioned in one novel. Lets look at the rest of the series not the one part that makes you squeemish.
Lord Strages mate I thought I loved grim dark, until I read that novel, I had to put the book down for a week or two, turned my stomach. Some dark shit happens in 40k when you scratch passed the surface but fuck me the demonculaba were fucking vile man hahaha!
@@WildMeek that was only one of Honsou's "exploits. Let's not forget winning the skull harvest and impressing Huron Blackheart. Invading ultramar and surviving, forcing papa smurf (calgar) to admit he lied about destroying m'kar, destroying a planet, just to annoy Uriel Ventris, cloning Ventris for giggles, oh, and of course not only ripping off Abbadon by not turning over a share of the imperial fist gene seed he took from Hydra Cordatus, but suffering absolutely no repercussions. Honsou is badass.
@@31tomcat Exactly loved the omnibus and now they have the complete version oooohhhh boi
Perturabo is easily my favorite traitor Primarch. I think he's a very complex personality and it makes it hard for people to really see past the "whining baby" image that a lot of the fandom has for him. I think each Primarch is simply one part of the Emperor. In Perturabo, it was the Emperor's analytical side. I think that while it's certainly a strength for Perturabo, it's also his weakness. He can't take anything for face-value. So behind every friendly face, he see's a potential enemy.
Very few people understand Perturabo, and even fewer amongst the content creator. You are one of them.
The iron warriors legion is enough to wipe out the Tau, prove me wrong..
No, I don't want to change your mind. Every full strength Legion and Primarch would purge the entire Tau civilisation. Especially if they had their full support compliment of Army and Mechanicum forces. 100.000+ space marines and a Primarch would conquer and purge!
All Tau will die in agony.
I still support the idea that there should be a short series of books on the main characters of the heresy, the books are like journals where they write there concerns doubts and other things they never speak of to others.
Mortarion was banished by Grey Knights for using his true name- which isn't Mortarion. Perturobo is a special case where big E already named him and he remembered. I think Magnus falls under this too? Its been a minute.
His true name might also have changed on ascenion to Demon Prince.
Mortarion is his Primarch Name, but he also has got a new name with his ascension to demonhood (like every demon that has a calling name and a true name)
That is true, in the short story "Lanterns Light" The Emperor comments to Mortarian , that Mortarian mening death and the reaper are a very sad name for him, and not the name, the Emperor had planned. Mortarian simply thinks it fits perfectly.
And of course, Konrad Curze named as such by the Emperor
@@bionetik That is true, Daemon Primarchs retain their names (given by adoptive family or the Emperor himself) plus the name given by their patron Chaos God, which is their "true" name as a Grey Knight would put it, as the GKs don't consider Traitor Primarchs human anymore.
My favorite Iron Legion finally gets some love!
My statue is better than yours.
Perturabo: what statue? You mean that rubble over there?
Had the primarch's first memories not been overwritten by the knowledge in him, he might've been more lenient but exploitation is the way of Olympia that he came to resent. When the emperor arrives and turns that up to 11, it was inevitable.
The emperor didn't exploit Perturabo. Perturabo was taught by the Olympians that only conquest and death would earn affection. When the Emperor showed up, Perturabo assumed that his father was simply a more grandiose tyrant who would require more grandiose amounts of conquest and death to earn more grandiose gestures of affection. Unfortunately the Emperor never praised his sons for what they destroyed, only for what they created. Alas, the Olympians' bad parenting ruined Perturabo's path from the beginning.
Yea I still can't understand what the Big E was thinking when he made Horus Warmaster an obvious favorite and then neglected so many of his sons services~ Perturabo is probably most particular. He didn't respect any of his achievements. The Emp too quickly wanted to get back to Earth and do R&D instead of figuring his most powerful weapons could be his undoing... Did he learn nothing from the Men of Iron?
@@marthlink5015 evidently not
@@marthlink5015 It might also be that he did learn from the Men of Iron. However, the Emperor is also highly prescient and it might be that a lot of the things happening are not happening because he couldn't have prevented them, but because he dare not prevent them, as he has seen multiple outcomes and these ones are the least damaging to mankind, offering them survival and the eventual acension to a higher state, that is his end goal. There is also the problem with the prescience, you can see outcomes, but not every path that may lead to a desired outcome, meaning there is still a need to adapt and possibly chose a different path to hopefully get to the final outcome or go for the least damaging ones of the other outcomes if the initial one can't be reach anymore.
The Emperor does explain a bit how his prescience works to one of his dreaming Custodes in one of the HH books.
I haven't been this early since Istvan IV
IV? What happened there? I know only of the events on III and V.
"Atleast our primarch isn't Angron or Lorgar"-every iron warrior before perturabo has them using siege tactics that end up killing them.
Yeah. He could have been a useful one like those two mentioned lmao
I think Lorgar's men liked him
@Zoomer Waffen Lorgar's children may love him, but I struggle to name any primarch that would willing encourage their sons to become possessed by daemons at the time of the Heresy. This may be normalized in his legion, but other traitor legions got weirded out by it.
We were already using those tactics before Perturabo showed up.
The Emperor created Pertorabo as a human calculator, so when ever he couldn't find his own he just needs to call his son
Perturobo's part from what it seems is to make the hard choices that no other are willing to make from this passage using logic and his instincts

Glad to support the channel, keep up with the great content brother!
Thank you. I'm a long time Iron warriors player, and this is the first time I've seen a lore video actually look into why the 4th legion are who they are.
FERRUM IN FERREA SINE.
Exploited and used, even by the One person he loved the most, The Emperor. I truly believed that if Perturabo had been on the side of the Loyalist, the siege of Terra would have never happened. The traitor forces might have even been stopped before reaching the solar system. We will never know.
I often find the primarchs labelled as the 'boring' ones often have the most interesting backstories. Great examples are lorgar, angron, and perturabo as shown in this video
"Everything has a price", something ol' Perty will certainly learn in the future, after he sends the thousandth wave of Iron Warriors to die in some miserable meat grinder
I believe the Iron Warriors were meant to be something akin to the marines in Starship Troopers. They embrace the suck and try to build a better civilization along the way
@Chaos Undivided Another one who doesnt understand them and what their orders were...
This hit incredibly close to home for me. I I grew up in a family of manipulative people, and by the time I was a young man I had grown to loathe it to the extent that I would meet any perceived manipulation on the part of others (real or otherwise) with an unreasonable hatred. It's still a berserk button of mine, but thankfully one that I can manage after cutting myself off from the toxic people I had always been surrounded by. A very big "oof" all the way around.
Something I always wondered about Perturabo. In many books he has a deep hatred and loathing for Rogal. So much so that I wonder- If Rogal had gone traitor, would Perturabo have stayed loyal? Would there be a reverse of roles? Would Perturabo have been declared the Praetorian of the Emperor? Would he have done as good, or better, at fortifying the Imperial Palace, Terra, and the system? Personally I'd like to think so, but in the heresy Perturabo has such a grudge against Rogal that it affects his ability. Don't hate on me Rogal fans. I think he is a great character. Top-Tier. But the Emperor himself told Rogal that if he started researching the warp, he would inevitably fall to it. Just an interesting thought experiment since they are so alike. Also, if Perturabo didn't have such a grudge, I feel he would have been a double agent against the traitors. I think he would have had the most calculating mind, if he didn't have such emotional hangups. Anyway, good stuff. Thank's for the content during these trying times.
" the flock that is, not the shepards"
Awwwwl, here I was hoping for some grimdark.
I think the part where he calculates if they are wothry to be rescued, fits perfectly his role as a siege master.
Rescuing someone from a combat zone is always a risk. Perturabo approaches such a problem with cold logic, if the costs exceed the benefits he would not save them. Making such rational decisions about living and dead is exactly what Pert was made for, even if it's not always nice. Iron within
and also great viedeo, my wolf Lord
Damn good story and great story telling ! Ive never seen this side of him , can't wait for more.
He made Perturabo this way because he is basically the 40k version of vault tec
"So like I'll make him the perfect architect but then never let him build anything important. It'll be like he spent 8 years working on his architecture phd and then he just builds trenches all the time. Hilarious! Now, let's move on to the religious zealot who will fit nicely in my secular society and then we'll sort the psyker who will fit nicely into our view that the warp doesn't exist"
Conor O'Shea I don't think the Emperor planned for Lorgar to be a religious zealot.
@@Matihood1 I think he wanted him this way, sort of. I think Lorgar should have been the Person who inspires the people to the imperial dogma of rationality and science.
@Chaos Undivided the Empreror wanted compliant worlds by quantity, not by quality. Part of the humbling of the Word Bearers (beyond the religious aspect) was that they were not moving fast enough. Perturabo, who was said to have followed orders to a fault, would not have been given the leeway to stand around building stuff like he wanted to do.
@@Matihood1 It's implied (But never outright stated, because of course) that the primarchs personalities were somewhat designed by the emperor.
During the white scars Horus Heresy novel Malcador comments about how frustrating the Khan is because he isolates himself but that that was his role amongst the primarchs.
Also consider the first meeting between Angron and his legion. Angron eventually accepts them when he finds that both of them hold a common ground of greatly valuing their battle brothers, above and beyond the other legions.
Talashaoriginal Yea, that's basically what I meant. He was supposed to be a fervent herald of the imperial truth but he instead became the exact opposite.
Shepard: "why did you help us?"
Perterabo: "it was right. You are weak, i am strong"
Have a feeling ol hugboy vulkan would be one proud brother hearing that from perterabo.
Thanks for this coverage! Means a lot to me as an iron warriors fan!
Yeah they are overlooked on 40k substance the Iton Warriors but their Hersey age story is one of the most fascinating of all legions!! Perturabo feels overlooked & under appreciated by this brothers & father & always felt a need to excel; breaking sieges spreading the imperial truth as he interpreted. Great name & interesting Perturabo was his Given name!! So Apt as perturbed is right !!
Definitely an interesting fall to Kaos, great pic of him too!!
Cheers WLR highly entertaining post brother!! 👐🏿👐🏻👐🏿
No one makes lore videos like you Rho. I am going to enjoy this, Perturabo is my favourite. Thanks.
You should talk about the many iron warrior loyalist. I believe they stayed loyal for the same reason the main body turned traitor. The legion abandon them as traitors, while receiving support from the Imperium. In troops and supplies, so they felt abandon like the main body did, and unappreciated by their primarch.
Ironic within
Ironic without
I wish we had more stories of the iron warriors pre heresy, as a legion I find them really interesting.
Maybe each Primarch had different incubators, maybe some were in clear glass, others in complete darkness. Might explain why some of them remember the emperors face and others just remember feelings and sounds.
I think its more of a future sight he has, not the emperor naming him Perturabo
To hear the audio book for this story, go to A Border Prince's channel, he has the whole short story audio book on his channel
6:18 I believe that's his purposeful name because it means "I will endure." Its pretty relevant to his character and the purpose the Emperor had for him.
I fell in love with em after reading The Iron Warriors Omnibus and the Ultramarine series. Honsou was a badass antagonist.
I've read 10 of the Primarch book... And Perturabo are my favorit so far, but not for the reasons some May think. I don't look up to him as I do with some primarchs. But he are the one who I felt the most connection with. In many ways he are one of the most human ones of them all. His flaws are the reason I like him and his Origins. After his Primarch book, he will always have a special place for me.
With iron comes strength, and rust.. For the Emperor!

Confused imperial fists noises.
Isn't that just "fortify" but in a higher tone?
You know, when the 3.5 Codex droped most people hated the Iron Warriors because of their rules. I was one of them. Then I read "Storm of Iron" and I started repainting my CSM as Iron Warriors. At that time Perturabo was just a name. But the BL guys did a fantastic job in fleshing him out in the HH books. Especially Guy Haley with his Primarch book, which is one of the better books in the series. I loved that you actually had the whole story arc from his youth to becoming a "Traitor". I would also like to read more of him in the 40K universe. But it seems that he will always be just the guy with the big guns for GW.
What i like about this story is the fact that it seems like or at least hinted at the fact that human beings planted the seeds of corruption in Perturabo. Perturabo had the purest ideals and intentions, but it is always something within the interactions of Man that corrupts themselves and others.
Lorgar, Mortarion, Angron, Kurze... All somewhat corrupted by their interactions with Mankind. I can't help but wonder if the Emperor had become corrupted in his devotion to save a people that dont deserve to be saved and was corrupted himself.
"Iron Within Iron Without!!"
I honestly enjoy the stories were they get in depth about a Primarch, a true back story that makes you ponder, or realize more about a character.
I like this story because it just shows not just Perterabo's story but a glimpse into a Primarch
A very extremely awesome video as always Wolf Lord Rho.
Honestly just started getting into 30/40k lore and your videos are honestly some of my favorites
The ocean is made of drops, if we remove every drop from the ocean it ceases to exist. Like the drops, this moment has an immeasurable impact on the formation of Perturabro as a being. Wolf keep with your great content, they bring wealth to my days. Hugs from Portugal
I had no idea Perturabo was so interesting on a personal level. I'm always going to be a crow at heart but Perterabo ... fascinates me
its almost as if he were born to be a walking "second thoughts" machine, a layer of "hang on a sec - is this the best thing we could do?" to help control the exceses of creatures like Russ and Angron and to put a fire under the taciturn, endless calculating likes of RobbieG or even my own beloved Raven Lord could be prone to
I miss my Iron Warriors army used to be good when they could have extra siege tanks
Honestly a small live action short about this small passage would be so cool even an animation would be epic
Imperial Fist, your fortifications are weak!
(siege noises)
You're structures fall, muchvlime your primarch. Aww, will you bawl and shriek, Fist? *Will you bawl and shriek?*
Extremely interesting to think that the Emperor’s precognition allowed him to know the names, symbols and who knows how much information about each Primarch prior to their birth. Makes you wonder what his purpose was behind the 2nd and the 11th Primarchs.
The Iron Warriors Omnibus is one of my favourite books and has an epic showdown involving warhound titans and the Iron Warriors.
IRON WITHIN IRON WITHOUT
I thought Perturabo tooks his name from an old olympian myth, while he studied in his foster father's library?
I think perturabo was meant to be a colder more war focused mirror of guilliman. Not only do the inspirations for their birth places share a thematic link being that they are inspired by Greece and Rome respectively, but thier personalities aswell. Both are very analytical and highly value efficiency.
Was there even a single legion that wasnt radically changed by the introduction of its Primarch?
The Iron Warriors are such a cool traitor Legion! I still have Warsmith Honsou somewhere in my pile of shame (from the Uriel Ventris Diorama) :D I think i will paint him now :) Thanks for the inspiration WolfLordRho :)
"the flock that is, not the shepherds"
Honour goes to Perturabo for not skinning the and eating shepherds.
Honestly when you read about all the things he was creating for his brothers to show his compassion, it's heart breaking. That tough exterior and he just wanted a brother to care. Not enough time spent with Hawk Boy.
I think Perturabo was made to represent the will to do what others wont. The emperor makes some decisions that can be considered to be extremely harsh, and even cruel - but makes them for what seems to be the greater good. Perturabo is like this, he can make a detached, logical decision, unclouded by emotion or even morality - which is needed in the harsh universe of 40k.
Another sweet lore video. Nice one, Rho.
I love your videos and wish they’d hire you to record the audio books.
I never knew the story of the iron warriors so I thank you and the subscribers for the vote of this
My brothers are out fighting dragons, and what do I get? Guard duty!
- Perturabo M31
Take a shot every time rho says "himself"
His role as intended is exactly what it was: Siegemaster and knowledge amalgamator.
He was to take the hardest campaigns and be able to determine the greatest chances of success quickly. The garrison force that could rapidly improve a defense against all possible attacks. He was to run calculations that others could not see fit to do, and execute them with cold, logical efficiency.
In short, Perturabo was the Emperors A.I.- a machine that would calculate the greatest questions without human nature interfering. He would not be capable of being a large scale warmaster, diplomat, public speaker or idol. Instead he would be the workhorse that carried them all to greatness. Given the right raising he would have learned to love his position as one of the pieces of the machine that was the only way to make the impossible a reality. Instead he grew to resent it after it was taken advantage of repeatedly without ever being reinforced with positive feedback.
He is one of my favorite primarchs because he feels very human- a man with above average talents preyed up by the lazy and well to do.
I LOVE THE IRON WARRIORS!!! SO METAL 🤘🤘 I'm painting some up to this!!
The HH novels really made me like Perturabo. Super smart and a badass in battle to boot. It feels like he played a big role and was in more books than any other primarch. Maybe that's just me
I Cato Sicarius deem this to be HERESY
Shaddap u blueberry.. Uriel Ventris is better than you.
Perturabo was made to be the dark opposite of Guilliman.
I'd love for you to cover the Kharn VS Erebus fight at some point in the future
I belive the emperor not only knew of the scattering, but it was also part of the deal with the ruines Powers. The could scatter the Primaks, infest half of them, shekel him for over10 melania to unlive and he will still defeat them. They took the bate and gave him the knowledge to create the 20 beings from splinters of is own soul. And with that, he will leade mankind to not only survival but utter victory over the unimaginable horrors of the grim daks Universe.
Coincedence or totally planned to be released alongside Baldemort's Iron Warrior video?
I suspect Alpharius had something to do with it
Class that.
Quality how the differences of the Primarchs are there, straight away, how they think, how they perceive a situation, what they learn from experience and how that molds them into their future demi god like characters.
All well and good to have a nice clean cut hero type like sanguinian but if Primarch was so pure then where would be the story !
Iron Warriors are great legion, love perterubo, and Forrix especially.
I always liked the Iron Warriors and the Iron Hands despite them not getting enough lore. My perfect chapter combo for war
Iron Hands for vehicles and heavy weapons
Blood Angels for close range and the fast strike mentality.
Raven Guard for the sneaky strikes and taking out key leaders from range.
30K I go with
Dark Angels for all the special weapons and vehicles
Blood Angels for the close range, speed and versatile nature.
