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.
pretty sure its suggested that he was able to alter peoples perception of him in some subtle psychic way. not to the same extend as the emperor but similar.
@@Janovich That would explain why some characters never thought about it.
Keep up the awesome work!
There are no subtitles in Portuguese, will there be subtitles in Portuguese?
(Brazilian Portuguese)
@@Janovich
I always saw him as a bald Bruce Campbell, which also feeds into Janovich's description

The emperor was asking for trouble when he named his favourite son Horus Heresy
Fr, he should of seen it comin
It was literally in his name.
if only Horus Superloyal was an alliteration
His full name was Horus NotGonnaDu Heresy
Wat? 😂 He is named Horus Lupercal

Look like them beaky gits have some spark in them after all, rejoyce boys! WHAAAAAGH
If only Horus hadn’t smoked that Devil’s lettuce, then all of this could’ve been averted
The warp's cabbage!
The Horus heresy happened because Horus took one too many hits from the evil bong
No, it was the Nurgle's Nose Clams!
Hey Horus, you gotta hit this pack slime fr

HERESY
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.
Isn't it understandable though? The same story has played out in real world history since the beginning of human history. Those with power subjugate those with less for their own gain.
@@GalaxyBrain88 Most certainly. The Astartes had their own chain of command, and correct me if I'm wrong, but they were not answerable to the mortal Imperial commanders.
@@missZoey5387 correct! For the most part.. I'm not a lore expert by any means but have read several books including the first 3 heresy books. One of the reasons Horus became resentful of the imperium in the great crusade was because of the commanding body of bureaucracy that was set up by the emperor to help govern the crusade. The primarchs including Horus did have to listen to their demands. One of the first things they did was set up a imperial tithe on planets that were brought into compliance during the great crusade which Horus did not agree with but it was enacted regardless.
I remember when they trampled the civilians in the book. They got in the way and mobbed the marines while Horus was dying. The inclusion of the, what were they, remembrancers? Was forced on all marine legions by bureaucrats on Terra, which contributed to the contrast of the relationship between real soldiers and politicians. They played a huge role of being a narrative obstacle for the marines.
Also, marines are more valuable than a regular human. Geneseed is rare in 30k, and limited in 40k. Primarchs are even more limited and cannot be made again. Also, if The Emperor found out his favorite son died because the marines carrying Horus to safety were stalled by overly curious civilians, he would have had all of them killed. His goal for humanity is to evolve to his level, which astartes and even more, the primarchs were closer to. Remember, The Emperor made thunder warriors, which had the personalities of killing machines, and wiped out nations of people. There is no innocence in 30k/40k.
Marines also, unlike thunder warriors, actually have emotions. Horus is their father and supposed to be immortal. They had also been sustaing more deaths than ever before. Their emotions got the better of them, and marines have the emotional control of children.
Civilians are treated similarly in reality. We don't have large groups of reporters running around in warzones, only a few who know they are risking their lives and need to stay out of the way. War is hell for everyone in the warzone.
TLDR: The first few books have a real contrasting narrative of how war only cares about heroes. We know who Alexander the Great is, not the civilians who were caught in the wars.
@@medhathobo Yes, the remembrancers. They were an organization consisting of poets, journalists, historians, and artists. The remembrancer that was eventually silenced was angry over that exact same scene. (some of the marines also conspired to get rid of the Imperial army commander on the Spirit of Vengeance for wanting to put the offending marines, especially Lokken, on trial)
Samus is the man who upvotes Janovich videos!
Nice reference, shame it's heresy though.
My absolute favorite Heresy audiobook.
I am Samus.
Samus is commenting for the Algorithm.
Your voice is absolutely perfect for this. Good shit dude
This is probably the most straightforward video I've seen on this too. Keep it up :)
remember all of this started cause horus got stabbed with a poop knife
A poop knife carried by his dead, reanimated demonically possessed best friend.
The horus heresy is just a lesson of what happens for those who get some form of a septic disease
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.
I struggled getting into the books because of that reason
@@stuartthomas94 same, thats why i stopped reading. Does it get any better or will it always feel like that?

I randomly stumbled upon this and while being veteran of 20 years in this hobby, have read the HH novels multiple times.. this was really top notch and I thoroughly enjoyed your vid, narration and animation. 10/10 would paint my minis along again!
the introduction of "how Horrus ruined Christmas" such a colorful reading/audiobook to listen to when on a road trip.
holy fuck, 2 hours of lore from Janovich? Sign me up!
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!
I cannot say, how AMAZING these videos are.
i would LOVE to see a continuation of this particular story. hell, ALL the stories surrounding the 40k lore.
Subscribed. Love the work and dedication placed into this.

this is HIGH quality keep up the good work janovich
Bro always knows what we want.
The best video on Horus Heresy, can't wait for the next part!
My God the lore of Warhammer 40k is certainly deep and complex. I wish I had started painting these guys back in the 90s instead of the D&D minis. Ima enjoy exploring all of this lore. I don't expect to finish all the reading any time soon though. There is a lot apparently, lol. I'm excited, to me this is all new and cool. Thanks for the vids.
I discovered 40k about five years ago and fell down the rabbit-hole. I wandered blindly into the Horus Heresy, without any prior knowledge of the lore, discovering that the rabbit-hole does indeed go deep. I wish i could re-discover the franchise anew.
This video is really important to understanding the heresy. The Emporer didn't really explain the warp/chaos to his sons/the primarchs. Then he left horus in charge of "the great crusade" to retake the galaxy for humanity. The Emporer went back to earth/Terra to sort out the web way project, which would have closed off chaos from the galaxy and made interstellar travel outside the warp possible. Before he could finish the project horus and the lunar wolves started to come in contact with chaos on crusade. Horus was injured by chaos and his advisor (erebus among others) put him in a cultists temple to be healed. Horus saw the chaos gods and turned to chaos during this experience but was ultimately healed. He returned to his fleet and secretly started scheming against the Emporer. Eventually leading to the betrayal on istvaarn (not sure of spelling) where half of the primarchs turned on the Emporer in favor of chaos. Later the ones who turned to chaos would go on to attach terra and try to kill the Emporer. They ultimately failed, horus was killed by Emporer but Emporer was injured to near death and put onto the golden throne. That setting still has the Emporer decaying but alive on the golden throne. The throne projects a shit load of psychic power from the Emporer allowing his followers to travel in the warp somewhat safely and grants other capabilities. If I remember correctly he's been on the throne looking like a corpse with tubes and plugs keeping him alive for 10,000 years now. A few loyal primarchs as well as chaos primarchs have started to return after all going their separate ways after the horus heresy. There are soo many books that are total side quests, you really have to read or listen to the "important"/plot line books to understand what's going. Some of my favorite warhammer books are the Soul Hunter series about one of the Night Lords profits. But you wouldn't really know what is going on in the larger story if you only read that series, you would probably more confused than anything in regards to plot. The Raptor cult of the Bleeding Eyes!
A story weve all heard many times in many iterations but this one is spellbinding! Great job! Heart-breaking and enraging!
Like Erebus said after stabbing Loken to Abaddon "the circle has been completed. Loken met a possessed person with Samus. And Samus was reborn in Lokens body. Damn I hate Erebus.
Erebus is just the worst isn’t he?
Samus was not reborn in Loken's body.
@@Lost7one then what was it then? Erebus killed Loken to complete the circle. And Samus was reborn? It's in the end of vol 3.
If just the damn blade didnt hit the arm but rather his chest..all would’ve been well. They were close to uniting the Galaxy after all. They would’ve only needed to kill the Space Kinksters, Bug Evolution 9001 and EMP Eaters to win. Noooo we ensure fuckaround (awesome new lore but mostly Ultragays) and make half of em traitors that hate themselves in depression.
@@lawrencebray9623 samus was born in the warp when loken died not inside loken, he did not possess loken's dead body, the act of the murder created samus.
Highly underrated channel.
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.
Yup. It's tragic, but something that came from the flaws of men and their pride.
I agree.
I went into HH blind and I was hoping it would take a few books for Horus to go from loyal to traitor.
It went way too fast to my liking. I was looking forward for more Luna Wolves stories 😢
I do wonder about the double-Emperor. He even had his own Malcador. THEN THEY STOLE HIS GOLDEN THRONE AND DECORATIONS FOR TERRA. This story never gets properly explained.
The entire thing was most likely a well organized and long running scheme of the Ruinous Powers to convince Horus to forsake Mankind. Think about it. It is too perfect. A hidden Emperor on a Golden Throne protected by an old man (the Inquisition of Malcador)? Obvious Chaos fuckery imo.
holy shit man this is a whole movie
The narration voice: articulation, intonation, pitch and tone makes listening easy. Quality work 👍🏻
Bro this shit is so insane. Love the war map style
I have heard this story before by different narrators and you did a great job making it your own and different so it’s still entertaining.
Two hours?
Utter mad lad.
Bro, your videos describing the battles are FANTASTIC.
Would love to see you describe a battle from the first Tyranic war. The one where Ultramarine first company was wiped to the man, hundreds of dreadnought held Macragg. I always thought that battle would make for amazing cinema.
Keep up the great work!
Janovichhhhhhh the next part cant waaaait for it 😭
These are phenomenal. Produced with excellency. Hopefully a part 2 and three come out, from the Battle at Signus prime all the way to the confrontation at Terra herself, great job!
I saw another 40k "intro to lore" video whinging about how un-PC this channel was (not the word they used), so of course I came here and subscribed immediately. I'll get all my lore here from now on, thanks.
Nice to hear all of the salient points in a franchise I adore, without the mandatory handwringing about meanie head fascism. 💀
Thank you for this Lore explanation compiled in this video Janovich!
wtf "compilated" isn't a word
it's "compiled"
@@nathanexplosionn thanks, already fixed it.
loved the heresy vids! hope there will be more in the future for those with no patience for the books like myself!
Holy shit! I've just come across this channel. The level of dedication and production quality invested here is immeasurable. You sir, just got one more subscriber enlisted in your ranks.
For the emperor.
the quality of narration, audio, editing and production of this video is amazing. as someone new to 40k, thank you so much for this! 🩷
Rainy night, tea, a warm blanket and bed, no school tomorrow, and 2 hours of pure joy ☕🛏
Nice , unfortunately i gotta watch and enjoy it while school but its still pure joy
Dude this video is MASTERFULLY done!!! Keep doing these!! 👏
Incredible thanks for making this
Awesome can't wait for the remaining videos. You're one of the best Warhammer 40k themed videos on CZcams!
Just adding my praise here for the record. I like listening to 40K lore, and some channels do a great job, but visualizing it the way you do, is so much better.
Just finished watching up to episode 16 of the Siege of Vraks too. GREAT STUFF.
This is one of the best lore videos i have ever seen! I hope you will make more like this in the future!
By the Emperor! This is well done !
Keep it up
Just found ur channel, I'll binge it in one go the next time I'm cooking or doing the dishes. Thank you for all your hard work c:
"Oh S- its the furries." Lol.
What a great video please do more like this! I'm sure they take a while to make but it's totally worth it! What a great video!
Amazing video! Hope to see more in this format and style. Can’t wait for the next part
One of the best videos i have watched. Great work!
I'm on book 5 of HH and this was such a a great refresher
@Janovich What a fantastic video! This was the first video of yours that I watched, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! You have a new subscriber.
Absolutely LOVE the visuals in your videos! Please do one on the rest of the horus heresy!
This was incredible! I cannot wait for the Horus Heresy videos !
Damn ! This channel is a gem !
So good with the intro done. Best Monday treat I can remember. Thanks for all your hard work Brother 💯❤️😈🤖🫡
Awesome! Can't wait for the next part!
I’ve always wanted to make videos like these, but wanted to tell stories and battles fought in video games by players, but I just never know where I should start. Love watching your content.
2 hours of Janovich+ in one video?!?!?!? happy gasmask noises increase
Amazing work as always. I wish you much greater success and inspiration. And good luck with your game.
i love how this narrates like a bronze age epic or mythological origin story. as a student of anthropology i want to chime in with what i know. people did not ever actually speak this way. this was merely a style of narration that comes from middle eastern oral traditions where speaking plainly about complex historical subjects due to the constraints of oral recitation lends it a noticeably unique style. such as in the bible or the quran or gilgamesh or hanno's journey. simple language and confident conclusions: "the man saw that the land was green and felt good for it was good". quips were also popular for their mnemonic simplicity and ease of recitation: "tyre falls and you think the sky falls with it".
They didnt take Jubals body up to the Spirit, the Remembrancers were already on the planet, Jubals transformation and attack on the Remembrancers happened at the Fort in the Whisperheads, and Horus's meeting with Loken was at the military camp on the planet.
GLORY BE TO THE IMMORTAL. GOD EMPEROR, FOR HIS SERVANT JANOVICH MADE YET ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO.
omfg this was just the introductionnnn????? lez fucking goooooo, I cant wait for more, enjoyed it so damn much aughhh
Hey wait, I thought they were still in the antechamber of the mountains when jubal went nuts? Because the remembrancers were allowed to visit the planet and snuck off to see the actual action instead of being kept on the sidelines and ended up witnessing jubal\Samus
thought so too
@@Chorazin1 okay glad to see I'm not crazy I almost redownloaded my books
@@SendNubes96 re listening doesn’t sound too bad either
@@Chorazin1 I don't wanna go back till I'm ready, I'm still listening through the series. But it's so tempting. The first 3 books were seriously almost perfect
Jeez, excellent video! You have out done yourself!!
"I WAS THERE AT THE BEGINNING"
a few paged story in a magazine named 'white dwarf'...........
35 years on; people are regurgitating the same old story over and over again.
the Idea has become the institution.
Wonderful video. I cannot wait for you to finish the monumental task that is the Horus Heresy in it's entirety. Whatever you need I think it's time to give
I'm gonna need a part 2🥹🥹❤
Have you thought of doing a map video detailing the Siege of Terra? I’ve been listening to the series on Audible, I’m on Saturnine now. Would love to see how this epic vast battle played out on a map, would be interested to see the what the entirety of the Inner/ Outer Imperial Palace looks like on a map
currently, emperor has finally died. In order to save imperium, alliance with various xenos. Its becoming to be known as Imperial Syndicate.This was necessary to negate chaos, fight tyranids and prepare for necrons.
This is Beautiful and sanguine to listen too. It pleasantly blends into your dream, if you fall asleep to it. Just Right!!!
Tyznch made the plan, nurgle was there for it to happen, khorne got his blood, and Slannesh her share.
Just as planned as one could say.
"I was there when Horus fell."
Jan coming in with the clutch save for my 6hr drive
Love this 🫡 glory to the Emperor
0:45 the armies numbers in the lore are so tiny in compareason of the supposed scale of the battles.
Those writer didn't think this through.
39:42 : It's Oliton brain video recording that convinced the primarch to trust them , not the multiple accounts
Awesome video. The "anathame" is pronounced ana tha may or ana tham ay. It's a different word than "anathema". An anathame is a ritual dagger used in ceremonial magick, while anathema is greek for "cursed", which is what Chaos calls the Emperor. Honestly, they chose to use those words probably because they're so similar.
Oh shit, 2 hours!? Awesome
i like how the only reason horus fell to chaos was because he did not get a statue
This is done so well
That pic used for The thumb nail is incorrect. White Horus should have the hair. Seafoam green Horus should be bald.
great video dude keep it up
This is very good work. Thank you Sir.
Damn, this was good. Flawless presentation, I am hooked.
Honestly @janovich you’re a legend….makes me feel like I’m actually there lol
Love your content!
It is believed by some people that the Daemonic entity known as "Samus" was reference to Metroid's Samus Aran (as she is technically partially Xeno via genetic engineering in lore). Likewise the Horus Heresy is referenced in Metroid (Specifically Metroid Prime 3: Corruption) as the Horus Rebellion, Horus a planet Rebelled against the Galactic Federation (With help from the Galactic Crime syndicate: The Space Pirates), the Rebellion saw the 2 Olympus class planetary assault carriers GFS Olympus and Valhalla Sent to deal with it, things would go south incredibly quickly as Valhalla was board by Pirates and Rebels alike and would see all but the most veteran crew and marines killed just to repel boarders (with assistance of the ships AU). this is from a unused Lore piece in the game files though the Horus Rebellion is still quoted in game by conversation by 2 male fleet personal. Fleet 1: "I Haven't seen this many fighter scrambled since the Horus Rebellion." Fleet 2: "now that was some nasty business."

Incredible! Love these and your Imperial Guard videos
thanks so much
Best 40 k content i have seen. Well done sir 🙌🙌🙌👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥
Amazing job, both as story telling and visually.
What insight into human nature can we derive from all this horrifying drama? I think it's how we distinguish between heroes and villains.
A hero is a person who values what benefits everyone at the expense of the wicked, while a villain is a person who values only what benefits themselves at the expense of everyone around them. But, if anyone or anything can alter one's values, it can turn heroes into villains, or villains into heroes. The only way to remain righteous is simply to understand this distinction. Ignorance makes us weak.
Thumbnail: happy with no hair, then grows hair and becomes more happier, eventually loses hair and becomes evil
This style of 40k story telling is awesome. Really allows you to appreciate the scale that it plays at as opposed to other Sci-Fi universes.
Thanks for all the hard work Jan.
