For Corax! Victorus aut Mortis!
Great record! Just missing the phrase, "Know then, that this is a record of..."
You're the fourth person to call me out on this. I guess I shouldn't drop my catchphrase so witlessly!
I still like the Raven Guard amidst famous Chapters like the Ultramarines, Blood Angels, Imperial Fists and some others. The Raven Guard reminds me of units like the SAS/SBS, SEALs, Delta Force, just among famous elite commando units.
I hope you can do other Chapters like Ultramarines, Blood Angels, Space Wolves, Iron Hands, Dark Angels, Grey Knights, Deathwatch, Thousand Sons, several others, also famous regiments like Cadia, Mordia, Catachan, among others. Keep it up. For the Emperor!
Most of those scripts are already written, you'll be happy to hear :)
Oculus Imperia Ultramarines you say...?!?
The Raven Guard are an elite force which uses recon/unconventional tactics, much like Special Forces units. Force Recon all the way.
Just jumped back from the Carcharodons Warhammer Wiki page and found a quote under the chapter beliefs. "Solitary contemplation offers the best opportunity for revelation."

Beeeeeeeewwwwwwww
Sweet, I have wanted to know more about exactly how the Raven Guard operate. They and their later successors seem to use more reasonable and practical techniques than most legions, but take that to an extreme level.
The idea of "friendlier legions" is an amusing one.
I love all the unification stuff you're able to add. This one is another excellent entry.
Thank you!
Wonderful, as usual. It seems that Corax was a great ninja but a bad field marshal.
Yay beakies!
It is well documented that Corax actually had a disdain for the Xeric tribe members within his own legion. Though, they were apparently specialist at sapping and tunnel warfare, when it came to the fighting and post battle clean up, the Xeric tribes were needlessly brutal. They just didn't fully appreciate the wealth that is stealth.
Yay! New episode on my birthday! Best gift ever.
Happy Birthday
Sean Hey Sean, my name is Sean too!
skipopotamus Happy birthday, I’m glad your mom didn’t swallow you.
Happy birthday dude!
I'm really sorry for you...
Your recording and editing is stellar. I honestly listen to your lore videos while doing my homework so keep up the magnificent work, battle-brother. Also, will you do a video on the solar auxillia and the tagmata formation?
Would love to see your take on the Primarchs.
Plans in the works!
Corax looks a lot like his dad
I’M INVISIBLE BUT ONLY WHEN NOBODY IS LOOKING AT ME!
The first raven guard vid is what brought me here, I then subscribed and binged all of your content that night. Thank you for your fantastic work. Now from what you said about the Shade Lord Fell Carcharodons?
You need to pull the trigger on a Patreon, Chronicler. I've never once given money to one before, but I'd send you some credits in a second. The videos just keep getting better :)
So people keep telling me. I'm just rather concerned about meeting expectations.
Have faith Chronicler. We certainly do. After all, The Emperor Protects.
Awesome work as always sir! I note the comparisons to Asiatic plains tribes in their tactics and war doctrine and immediately think we are discussing the Fifth Legion though.
Even the cast offs' of the Raven Guard became legends, like the Renegade but not Chaos corrupted Ashen Claws and loyal but dark and brutal Carcharodons. With many believing both Chapters are descended from terran born Raven Guard sent away by Corax because of their unnecessary cruelty and brutality.
Sweet,new vid! I can't wait for the 3rd and 1st legions:)
The internal politics of the 19th are what really did it in after Isstvan, had the Terran element not been discarded but embraced they'd have been alot stronger. Unfortunately one can definetly assume that by having close ties to the Luna Wolves the Terran Raven Guard would have participated in the culture of the warrior lodge cults. Either way Corax couldn't afford having them around but wasn't going to outright purge his own like the traitors did.
the audio is a lot quieter than your other videos. love your work mate, keep pumpin em out.
lol i first read that as pimpin... I thought no he wants and easier way than that, cuz i've heard some things regarding that method and the difficulty therein. I think it was on a documentary somewhere...
Your video intro had nettled me to the point that I am re reading the ENTIRE Dune library in story chronology. If I have to relive the death of Manion Butler and Leto i then you have to keep saying the line! Know then, I am disapointed.... P.S. great vid as alway Oc, Thank you for your time!
I'm glad SOMEONE get's the reference ;)
I just love these videos!!!
And I love YOU, random citizen!
I prefer a more subtle approach says corax as a dark fury uppercuts you with a lightning claw going at mach 3
Another awesome episode mate. But you missed "Know then"? :( :( My favourite part of all your logs
Apologies! Certainly will be there next time.
Give this man views and smashed like buttons I say!
Quoth the Raven "Nevermore".
up upon my chamber door.....
Quote Lorgar, "Shut up, bird, I'm not coming out."
Awesome video!
*BEAKIES*
Please please please do a video on the First (and best) Legion next!
More like heretic Legion. Seriously, the DA are even more bland than the Ultramarines. They're just a bunch of anti-social emomarines who have a Primarch named after a gay writer... and a Fortness Monastery named after a gay bar in England (The Rock). Face it, the DA are gay heretics!
I need more of these videos and would be happy to contribute to a Patreon page.
I request information on either the 12th or 17th legion.
The XVI Legion has already been covered.
Darth Cindros Correction I meant 17th Legion Word Bearers.
Not the 16th luna Wolves.
"Some say He has gone too far. That maybe some of His creations would be better still born or drowned in a sack." - pre heresy guradsman.
Both scripts are written :)
Oculus Imperia Most excellent.
Are there any plans to release a Q&A at any point or even to launch a Discord server?
Would people be interested in a Q&A? Cause I'm hella down, as the kids say.
I certainly would be, can't speak for others though.
Oculus Imperia Yup
A great video as always, my pepe is quivering with delight.
[eyes.emoji]
NEVERMORE
Still waiting on the First Legion....
So am I :( Unfortunately to give them the credit they deserve I have to wait until Forge World published Angelus.
He will cover the traitor legions soon
To help with the dark angles they suck
Blood Angels please
What part of Asia where the Zeric tribes from? Souds like either Afghanistan or Vietnam. Places known for Guerilla tactics.
IDeO No disrespect intended, here- but it’s spelled “Xeric” in the books- before I came across it I thought it was “Zeric”, as well. To the best of my knowledge, they never specify exactly where in Asia they were from, but the fictional Asiatic Dustfields seem to be a really large area that once encompassed part of the Pacific Ocean (since all the oceans were boiled or evaporated away from nukes, etc), and I always assumed that the Xeric tribes were from the New Zealand and Polynesian areas, and fought against the Pan-Pacific Empire. If you look at the tribal designs featured on early 19th Legion and really early Raven Guard stuff, it looks kind of Maori or Polynesian, to me anyway.
-EDIT- I just watched the video Oculus made about the Unification Wars, and in it was a map that someone had made (I believe it was another fan), and it shows the Xeric tribes just to the south of the Himalayas (fictional Hymalazian Mountains), so it looks like I was incorrect in my assumption of where they were from. But like I said, I don’t think that GW or Forge World or the Black Library have ever stated exactly where they originated. Just didn’t want to send you down the wrong path-

this legion owned by its more better counter part - alpha legio
i enjoy your content quite a bit keep it up mate id suggest trying to get some form of colab with arch warhammer to grow your fan base
He'd be better off steering clear or arch. Arch spends half his time bitching about imaginary SJW attacks on 40k.
Yeah, he's waaaaay better than Arch.
He can make that choice for himself, Certainly they are both great 40k content creator's... but both go about it in a very different way, Oculus seems to be more pure, and true to the lore. arch is more lets say colorful.
im not here for the politics im saying arch has a large base of 40k fans... im saying if you want to tap the youtube 40k market it would make sense to speak to one of the largest 40k channels on youtube... i enjoy both creators content and hope they both flourish
Thank you for the suggestion. While I absolutely admire Arch for his success in building and tapping into the lore channel community here on CZcams, I'm afraid that our styles are a bit too different to mesh. Also, he's likely never heard of me nor particularly cares!
