    There is also the possibility of the Horus clone regaining its memories when slaying abbadon, and realize to its horror what his original had done. This could even potentially mean that it would become hostile to the chaos gods and all the fallen astartes. A Horus that was no longer the pawn of the chaos gods would indeed be a really bad thing for the gods.

    Well, don't forget that Horus had to be corrupted by Chaos. He was manipulated, poisoned, infected, slowly stripped of his reason and sanity before having whole chunks of his personality mystically removed. The creature that lead the Heresy to Terra was only in the loosest sense Horus. In any real sense it was simply what was left, hollowed out to be a vessel of power for the Chaos pantheon.
    Using the Clone of Fulgrim as a reference, he knew what his corrupted original did and was disgusted at his actions. Whose to say the Horus Clone, who by all accounts was only just awoken, wouldn't have the same memories? If so he would remember killing his beloved brother Sanguinus as well as all the other horrors committed. What then?

    I think that the Fulgrim Clone actually had Fulgrim's soul, that the "Daemon Primarch" was in fact the Greater Daemon of Slannesh that ascended while still possessing Fulgrim's body. As for the Horus Clone, since Horus' soul was destroyed, a perfect Clone of Horus could only come to be a form of him with perhaps a shard of his soul and identity. I think though, at the end, Horus was repentant but the Emperor had to purge all his humanity to prevent Horus declining again and then becoming a Daemon Prince.

      @Zovereign: As I said, he impaled the clone, then shot it. The clone died from that.
      Here's the full passage from 'Talon of Horus'
      All five of Abaddon’s claws rammed so deeply into Horus’s chest that they burst from his back. The scythes pushed out the stunted remains of Telemachon’s swords, sending the broken blades clattering against the floor.
      Dark redness spread across what was left of the white fur cloak draped in tatters across Horus’s shoulders. A genetic god’s blood rained down over me. I felt like laughing without knowing why. Shock, perhaps. Shock and naked relief.
      The storm bolter on the Talon’s back kicked three times, burying six bolts inside Horus’s exposed chest and neck. They blasted him apart from within, adding viscera to the blood slopping across those of us left prone.
      And that was how they stood, as gold flared in the eyes of one and life faded from the eyes of the other. Horus’s knees buckled but Abaddon would not let him fall. Horus’s mouth worked but no sound came forth. If his last words found any voice, Abaddon was the only one to hear it.
      I was fortunate that day. Not just because I survived a battle with a demigod that should never have been fought, but because I heard Abaddon’s last words to his father. With a slow, smooth withdrawal, he pulled the Talon clear of his father’s body, and the moment before Horus fell - the moment before the light finally went out in the primarch’s eyes - Abaddon whispered five soft words.
      ‘I am not your son.’

    Horus was a queen, with a high possibility of betrayal, chaos decided to ax the queen in the most effective way they could. They took a king with a queen. Imperium fights on, but their power was cut dramatically short.
    The chaos gods would never allow Horus to return to the game though, even if its a cheap copy, copy's can attract the fragments of his soul, that are hinted to be scattered within their realms.
    Besides they can't let someone who actually can do his job live, they need Abaddon the Harmless to keep running around smashing his head for more of their fun times.

    The basic premises rule this out.
    1- the clone was not Horus, Horus' soul was annihilated. Just because you reconstruct the physical bits does not mean that a person is still there, ask Mary Shelley.
    2-The powers of Chaos had bet on Horus and lost. We know that Fabius had constructed a clone of Horus. If your point is correct, who is the say that Abaddon was not the tool of the powers of chaos when he destroyed the clone?
    3-Fulgrim's soul was not annihilated. As a result, the circumstances have to be treated differently. The clone of Fulgrim was not only physically viable, but arguably had full drums Soul, or at least a mimeograph of such a soul. Fulgrim was a sensitive sort when he was originally brought up on Chemos. Fabius did not alienate him or abuse him. There may have been legitimate affection.
    4-The idea that the Eldar end game with Fabius was simply to keep him busy and not attack them is pretty sadly myopic. The Eldar are never that one-dimensional. There is a lot more to the game they're playing.
    Besides, they led Fabius right to a large group of Eldar.

    • @40KTheories

      *Supposedly annihilated.
      There were still remnants of the original Horus's soul within the Realm of Chaos still performing labours for the Chaos Gods even just prior to the Siege of Terra (as shown in HH: Slaves to Darkness. I even did a video on that topic a while back if you're interested :3 )
      Secondly there is nothing to disprove the possibility that the clone developed it's own soul, since in 40K souls are created by some unknown biological process (hence why those with the Pariah Gene lack souls). But all in all, the subject of Clones and souls its a topic worthy of a video in its own right.
      In addition, while Fulgrim's soul may not have been annihilated, It was still claimed by Slaanesh when he ascended to Daemonhood

    @steampunker7 Před 4 lety +2

    I'll admit, this one has me scratching my head a bit. Mostly because, if I have it right, Horus' soul was completely dusted and destroyed by the Emperor in their final showdown. Now granted there's rumors (and even the possibility) that pieces and fragments of it still drift in the Warp. But for all intents and purposes the original Horus is dead and gone, not even able to ascend to demonhood.
    So what, exactly, would his clone be in the context of the Warp? What kind of psychic presence would it have? Taking the premise at face value and he defeats Abbadon, would it grow it's own mind and spirit or would it serve as a kind of psychic flypaper to the remains of the original's spirit who could then use it to partially reconstitute itself? Either way would it then look on results of the Heresy, the destruction and devastation wrought in its name, and smile with pride, seeking to pick up where it left off or rather recognize just how it had been played and make an attempt at redemption? The re-emergence of Horus, even a knock off, would be a powerful weapon and propaganda tool for the Forces of Chaos. But it could be an equally powerful one for the Imperium as the prodigal son of the Emperor returns to the fold.
    Assuming the clone actually is able to have it's own will and mind or was able to get a least a enough of the old Horus back I would actually speculate it would turn its back on both Chaos (who caused it's original downfall) and the Imperium (which has degraded into the antitheses of the Emperor's dream for humanity) and strike out on it's own. Given its power and connections to the past (for good and ill) I could indeed see it attracting both loyalist and traitor legion alike to it's side, inspiring the former and redeeming the later, building up a kind of cult of reason dedicated to the Emperor's original intents, creating a kind of Reverse Heresy.
    That's my thought anyway.

    I think Horus still lives, divided into 4 still trying to finish the labors chaos originally gave him. Maybe eventually Horus will seek to reunite himself and his soul weakened will join the Ultramarines in fighting against Chaos. With shards of Magnus floating around I could see a similar fight with the infested demons in his body to purify himself from chaos as the exorcist chapter does to resist chaos. It would allow for a redemption story and maybe with Magnus returning he can let the Emperor rest.

  • @DocWolph
    @DocWolph Před 5 lety +1

    If Horus won/survived, he would gather the traitors unto him and guide them to a mission now worth fulfilling. Instead of pursuing hatred and rage against the Imperium of Man, the Traitors would seek to build a new Imperium built more honestly upon the Emperors True dream and vision for mankind. This would create a massive schism among the chaos Marines as less hardcore and "only" Renegade chapters would be most likely to heed the Horus clone's call. Horus' clone could in fact have the Fulgrim Clone at his side in this endeavor. I can easily imagine lop-sided wars against the IoM at first, but some chapters already teetering toward Chaos would find Horus's "Rebel Empire" a very easy pill to take.
    Before too long the Horus and Fulgrim clones would change their names to avoid the negative connotations and deflect some of the ire of their original Daemon Primarchs. The IoM Sees no difference, but the Rebel Empire garners much support some even from the IoM itself. But the fact that the Rebel Empire is founded by the clone of the arch-traitor and a fell Primarch brother, plus so many chaotic and renegade Astartes... Even if the IoM at least unofficially wants peace with them, officially they have to pursue their annihilation.
