YES! YES! YES! FINALLY
my man
@@Matt-md5ytgreetings brother
Yall accept guardsman?
Holy shit its the real Huron Bigdick. Tax Evader of Choas
We burn their bastions and shatter their defence lines! We shall teach them to defy the will of the Tyrant!
Huron is like that guy in a company who checks every qualification for a promotion but never gets it cuz the boss’s son works there too
*_"NO, I REFUSED TO PAY TITHE! I AM HURON BLACKHEART! I AM THE TYRANT OF BADAB! WARDEN OF THE MAELSTROM! THEY PRONOUNCE MY NAME WRONG ALL THE TIME!"_*
_~ Lufgt Huron Blackheart_
A Warmaster fell before it can happen again. - Huron Blackheart Master of the Maelstrom
Lugft Huron is ten times cooler than Abaddon
Before what can happen again?
@@Ally.Cat.252 Huron is saying that Oh Horus was the Warmaster and he fell. It can happen again.
@@o.w.n.1327 oh that makes sense! I read it wrong.
Yea should be " a warmaster fell before. It can happen again."
Supposedly, had Huron been given the resources he requested, the Malestrom actually could have been purged due its smaller size.
The irony.
exactly it's another classic case of the imperium's incompetence if only they had allocated a few dozen ships and some guard regiments things might have been different
Huron reinforcing his chapter wasn't anything different from what the space wolves and black templars have been doing for millenia. Hell he was pretty much running a dress rehearsal for what Guilliman's did.
@@foff3804 another reason to dislike G-Man’s coming back storyline 🤣
@@darthbloodborn To be fair he was asking for an entire space marine chapter founding and to be given control over them for the entire duration of the Maelstrom campaign. That's a lot of resources. He also responded by refusing to bay any of the imperial tithe. I would get it if he just lowered the amount paid a bit or even cut it in half but I think he escalated things a bit too far with that.
I wrote chapter founding but I just meant Founding. As in the creation of mutiple space marine chapters like when the 2nd created the Black Templars, the Crimson Fists, Raptors Novamarines Silver Skulls etc
I don’t care who the imperium sends I am not paying taxes.
The Chapter who had every right to turn against the Imperium. And the most worthy Chaos Astartes to ascend to Warmaster.
Those who once aspired to eclipse the glory of the space marine legions of old, turned paragons of the Imperium's corruption and ignorance.
How dare you speak against The Emperor heretic!
I will call an inquisitor
I like to think that Huron is the OG warmaster, considering the Badab war was the first template for space marines, even before the Horus Heresy was fully realized.
Whatever you talking about it's wrong Horus is the Warmaster since Rogue Trader early days. He was the Warmaster even when the Lion was still called Lynn.
If I recall, the "seperatists" largely didn't even realize they were fighting against the Imperium, just Imperial forces, which is a bizarrely common issue.
Probably the only chapter that was justified in its treason, Imperium was just as guilty for the fall of Astral Claws as the chapter itself.
also the chapter who's leader called the Lamentor's "brother Astartes"
“Would” count: 84
Interesting! I get the impression that Huron Blackheart could never really make up his mind about his preferred style of legion command and governance. He kicks off by recognising that you can’t operate a colossal and terrifying army without superb logistics, manufacturing, economy, prosperity, all that good stuff, so he loudly emulates the current champion of these things, Ultramar, and perhaps styles himself as a second Guilliman.
Then the Badab War kicks off. I might have missed the exact point Huron’s lads fall to Chaos, but was it after the war started? They kick off as regular ol’ Renegade forces but not Chaos-aligned, so they can still call in favours from brother Astartes chapters.
Then they fall, and then they get Chaos-tainted, and now you’ve got anarchic, clumsy Chaos warbands attempting to operate Huron’s already-built colossal logistics chains and ginormous armaments stockpiles. Vastly more powerful and dangerous. Geez, no wonder they had so many problems with hubris.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Huron had in some ways become a prisoner of his own Red Corsairs legion. You get this a lot in various protest movements and subcultures. Happened last year in my country, New Zealand, with a protest over vaccine mandates. A charismatic and/or skillful founder might champion a fringe political cause like this with unusual passion, and win the admiration of much of mainstream culture. But this attracts nutjobs. The anti-vaccine protest outside NZ’s parliament buildings started as an organised event over a single day, managed with skill. This attracted a few thousand antivaxxer lunatics, who turned the single protest into three hundred feuding micro-protests, with zero leadership or organisation. They trashed the place. Much of central Wellington got blocked off and shut down. One day became three weeks. I went jogging through it at one point, just from morbid fascination. It was like being inside every conspiracy theory. I’ve sever seen so much paranoia or so many signs. After three weeks of mayhem and damage, the police formed a massive cordon line around the entire thing, let anyone exit but no-one enter, then finally strangled the protest over the next day.
Similar phenomenon here? I’d imagine that if someone like Huron had been mustering Legion-strength forces for decades, and an army that mighty then joined Chaos, then this would attract old-style, anarchic Chaos cultists and warbands to it like rotting moths to a flame. Enough of them could well overwhelm Huron’s original culture and intentions, but him attempting to put them in their place would be seen by all as an attack on the ways of Chaos itself, the Red Corsairs would shatter and disband, and Huron loses even that power. He has no choice but to grit his teeth and let their unearned hubris tarnish his magnificent war economy.
Though who knows. I just speculated the whole lot. But it’s an interesting line of thought, right?
Well stated, Written & true.....Ive heard Lugft 'hears voices'.....
Aside from needing the occasional pain-killer, whisper'd he enjoys them as well, using the former, or the latter reasons, oft times combining them, upon which way the flaming embers >>>
‘We live and die for Huron Blackheart!’ shouted Garreon. As the gathered officers of the Red Corsairs raised their fists and shouted ‘Aye!’, Captain Rotaka shouted as loud as any of them. For Huron Blackheart they lived, and for Huron Blackheart they waited. The lord of the Red Corsairs had gathered his commanders for one last feast before the invasion, to remind them of who they served, and the depth of his wrath should they fail him...
The Red Corsairs did not rest on the high ceremony beloved of the hated Imperium and the bloodless loyalists who retained faith in their damnable Corpse-Emperor. Instead there was simply service and reward: they gave unquestioning service to their master, and in return he rewarded them with a share of the spoils, as he saw fit...'
'...The Red Corsairs are a warband: the strong core of it is made up of renegade Space Marines, both from the old Astral Claws and those of other Chapters who have traded their former colours in for Huron’s, but great numbers of mortal warriors have also flocked to his banner over the decades. Huron welcomes all those who will fight in his name; or at least those who do so well...'
'Huron Blackheart is a wreck of a being, held together by spite and sorcery and mechanical ingenuity, and his movements no longer hold the same speed that they once did, but that does not mean he is any less deadly in combat. For all that his weapons are hardly precision tools, his strikes are placed with the care of centuries of experience, his steps are guided by the swirling awareness of the warp, and his strength is as ferocious as it ever was...'
'...Once, Lugft Huron was the Chapter Master of the Astral Claws. Once, he was a towering Space Marine warrior, the galaxy’s image of nobility and righteousness: at least, to those parts of the galaxy that cowered behind the shield his warriors made from their bodies, and their guns, and their will. Once, Huron believed in the Imperium, and in the Emperor, and in his Chapter’s duties: at least in his own way. But in the Imperium there is little tolerance for any way other than that which the Imperium itself dictates. The tool that does not completely fit its role is eliminated; and if, like Lugft Huron, the tool is too tough and too stubborn to be properly eliminated, it is cast out. The problem with that, of course, is that those who are cast out can come back. And when they do, their bodies and their guns and their will are no longer a shield, but a sword aimed for the heart...'
Just because they didn't want to pay their taxes
And they have the absolute best battle cry of all the factions in the setting:
EVERY. SWEARWORD. EVER. At full volume over the enemy vox.
Would love to see a War for the title of Warmaster between Huron Blackheart and Abaddon, the despoiler.
My money is on Huron
Realistically Huron should win, but Abaddon will win cause he’s boring and has been the main villain for 11,000 years
On strategy and tactics Huron is superior. However one on one Abbadon wins due to having both a Primarch weapon and Drach'nyen that could end the fight in 1 strike.
It is also interesting that the Red Corsairs have marines of the Space Wolves in their warband. There is a short story about this. Great video btw
What story is it?
@@PoorManatee6197 Wolf of Fenris
@@alan15553 thanks
dont they have alot of different chapters joining them like the slamanders and even sons of horus?
Legends do not pay taxes!
They dragged the Lamentors down. For this, they deserve everything coming to them.
I'm planning to kitbash a fallen Lamenter "Legionary" Kill Team soon, including a gunner and heavy gunner which split from the chapter after the Badab War, so those two will get Red Corsair flavored color schemes.
awesome
I am still praying that after Horus heresy officially ends (i'm sure they'll do more side books) they will FINALLY do a series on badab.
The Imperium brought the Red Corsairs on themselves. Huron asked many many times for help or genestock and was willingly ignored.
I've been looking forward to this transmission, brother Remembrancer! 😀It was beautifully presented ❤️Well done once again. 🙏
Thank you so much for your support Brother! I am glad you enjoyed it.
I thought the astral claws were justified into withholding the tithe
From what I heard, they had the opportunity to take the maelstrom for the Emperor but the high lords would not aid them with reinforcements. So they took matters into there own hands.
No having fallen to chaos, they take revenge on the imperium for what could have been
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
The answer to what went wrong can be summed up in three words, "The damn inquisition".
He was asking for an entire space marine chapter founding and to be given control over them for the entire duration of the Maelstrom campaign. That's a lot of resources. I would get it if he just lowered the amount paid a bit or even cut it in half but I think he escalated things a bit when he just refused to pay it at all. That being said the high-lords should have offered some reinforcements for the effort but just less than he asked for. I think that would have been reasonable of them.
@@alexbrown7708 by that in mind it’s just one chapter out of the thousands upon hundreds of thousands. The High Lords could have most definitely supported their efforts but instead delved into their own hubris and complacency. The Astral Claws had every right to rebel against the Imperium
P.s. I’m not taking it seriously but just having fun lol
@@SomeTuberr They weren't asking for one chapter or at least that's not the one reason they rebelled for. They were asking for an entire space marine chapter founding. Like the 13th or 21st. Multiple space marines chapters to be created and sent to the Maelstrom and be commanded by Lufgt Huron. I will admit that the High Lords refusing to send a replacement chapter after they made the Charnel Guard withdraw from the zone. That one's all on them. I might take it a bit too seriously but I think Lufgt Huron's fall was tragic but not entirely without his own hubris to blame.
Red Corsairs are an example of what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immoveable object
I love you man. you covered my favorite Chaos Warband. and people don't know who the daddy of the Tyrant. would be a hoot if it's Rob
Very nice storytelling! The Badab war was pretty sweet and I like learning more about it, especially bc it had a ton of diverse chapters. Great job!
Would love to see an all out war between Huron and Abaddon.
Such a great storyline.
Thanks be to the Big E.
Brother Remembrancer , once again your elucidations do justice to 40k
'Master of the Maelstrom' was such a good listen (highly recommend the audiobook, the narrator is Raphael from Baldur's Gate 3).
It does an excellent job of showing Huron's intelligence, political savvy and fierce independence.
I love the part where all the high ranking members of red corsairs gathered and huron in his mind be like: If I say this they would think I'm weak but if I say that they would think I am paranoid.
I particularly like how each of the Chaos gods subtly tries to coerce him into their service. It's not always a shiny demonic sword that is the danger, sometimes one's own thoughts, feelings and desires are the means the powers of Chaos use to corrupt.
I absolutely hated how he portrayed hurons voice though makes for hard listening
@@jackcharlie9322 That's understandable. I can see how it can grate on the ears. Although I do think it was accurate to the character. Very raspy, every word painful to get out. Huron's physical condition is pretty bad.
@@Iceisnice1 yeh I also appreciate that the narrator was trying to emulate a battle ravaged character , just think he went abit far with the villain voice , almost forced, thanks for your counter comment though
Finally I have been waiting a long time for this !!!!!!
My only complaint of the Red Corsairs, is the fact that they are nearly at legion strength, if not already there. This is tens of thousands of space marines, if not a hundred thousand or more. How did they reach that strength in a mere 70 years or so? The Badab War was fought between 901.M41 and 913.M41, and they were at legion strength in 999.M41. Everything else I love about them, just the numbers dont add up, even more than usual. If the warband were a millennia or two old, I could see it, but 70 years? BS
Great video though, thank you for doing one of my favorite warbands!
Isn’t that because the maelstrom is less toxic than the eye of terror and allows for people to reproduce easier with a lower chance of mutation ?
If so, it makes sense when it comes to finding people with potential of becoming a space marines, what doesn’t add up is the gene seed being mutated so badly and yet having tons of space marines in just 70 years , perhaps they just keep stealing space marines like that of the blood ravens stealing artefacts.
The Red Corsairs are a ugly reminder that even the most noblest and pure space marines chapters Can fall from grace even after the horrors of Horus Heresy, and what even worse is that they are growing in power and strength which is notice by the Warmaster of Chaos Abbadon.
They were pushed more then they fell, this one is on the imperium.
Rather, they're a tragic parable of the perpetual dysfunction of the Imperium's bureaucracy and the fate of those it fails.
lore wise they are fighting the tyranids. so GW is making an attempt to not let them outshine their precious abaddon.
I bet they have some nice relics.
My boy Huron needs to kick Abaddon's ass with a quickness! The Lore needs a shake-up & Chaos needs a new warmaster and Blackhearts the one to do BOTH , AND BE A BLOODY SAVAGE WHILE DOING IT!!!
No way Abaddon would get clapped by Blackheart. Homie literally has Drachnyen and the Talon of Horus. (Excluding all plot armor it would be hard to imagine Abaddons 10000 years of warfare wouldn't give him an edge) it would be a huge win for us loyalists though! I'd LOVE to see these two beasts slay eachother.
imagine being caught between the minotaurs and the Sharks.
just love how the imperium couldve let badab keep their resources and gain a damn powerfull ally instead they got the biggest threat beside black legion.
huron is a surprisingly cunning leader who dislikes wasting forces and refuses to suck up to the chaos gods
Huron Blackheart the true warmaster of chaos

Suck it, Huron!

As someone who is just getting into 40k I thought the Red Corsairs were just edgier World Eaters, but you've completely enlightened me
Thank you so very much, brother Remembrancer!
Awesome I love Huron black heart .
Huron was a hero, his brilliance was led to corruption by the imperium.
Red Corsairs, one of two groups of Chad Marines. Second are Lamenters.
ALL HAIL HURON BLACKHEART!!! MASTER OF THE MAELSTROM!!!
Huron Blackheart the lord of the red corsairs
I think I’m going to do a Red Corsair army but like Deathwatch - lots of chapters coming together
I’m going to put together Red Corsairs in TT but going to do them like heretic Deathwatch: lots of renegades from various chapters
WOO HOO! i've been waiting for this one!
Simply Beautiful! :D
Please make video of Mephiston, I BEG YOU 😂
Dope Video, Friend
...That's what happens when the Imperium doesn't support its defenders.
Can we all agree that Huron would probably be a better warmaster than Abaddon?
Yes! Finally! I love the red corsairs but there isnt enough about them. I did sculpt a mini of their champion from the indomitus book if you would like to take a look? Great vid!
I would actually love a game or a mod for an existing game that starts out like the red corsairs, from one ship and a captured pirate outpost to its own empire in the maelstrom.
Maybe someone could make a mod for rogue trader
Gotta love the Red Corsair’s.
I love the Corsairs!
I built an army around Huron. Badass lore (which isn't uncommon in the 40k universe) and plays well on tabletop. May not seem like much at first glance but d3 infiltration is op, I would infiltrate a unit of terminators equiped with chain fists and take their land raider with them 😇

Huron Blackheart:
"I don't care who the Imperium sends, i am not paying taxes"
They are such an underrated threat to the Imperium.
Huron for warmaster
Nice
I mean... if ya gotta be a bad guy, be a badass bad guy! 😂
Letting Bobby G escape? Weak.
I still like the guy, Abadon gave him a black stone fortress so he does have street cred in the maelstrom.
Can ypu do a video about the thinder warriors pls
DEATH TO THE FALSE WARMASTER
ALL HAIL THE TRUE WARMASTER
ALL HAIL BLACKHEART🖤
The badab war is my single favourite part of lore in 40k and Huron did nothing wrong 🫡
I firmly believe them to be Ultramarines Successors simply because i need Ultramarines to be humbled a bit in how great they think they are.
The strong are strongest alone.
I would be a Retaliator we're going to get in close and have some fun lol
So I’m curious, is there a channel that does something like this but from the chaos perspective?? I love the work The Remembrancer does, but well you know… death to the false emperor..
Presented by a somewhat sane Word Bearer or Thousand Son
@@edmundthespiffing2920 thanks 😊
The Corsairs are justified just as much as the Word Bearers.
Absolutely out of context here,but I always wondered.
How do Chaos Space Marines compete with new generation of Primaris Loyalists?
Arent Primaris supposed to wipe floor with "older models"?
Is it the Chaos buff,combat experience due to CSM being around for a long time etc.?
Well the Immaterium have a different time flow. With this much time in hand and Chaos corrupting everything they touches changing the very marine and his equipment from head to toe. So i like to think this Touch of Chaos gives them more oomph compared even to the eldar marines, erm i mean primaris marines.
@@NF-nv3xw so its actually the other way around and CSM kick Primaris' ass most of the time? Damn,I thought they were supposed to be reinforcements of sort,to finally turn the tide.
But I guess chapter masters like Azrael,Logan,Kayvaan etc. will still smack groups of CSM around
@@petrrozsival8554 Its supposed to do just that acording to lore but lore also tend to tip the balance to whoever are writing said books.
Primaris are Guillimans Astartes new vision yes. But they are new thus lack experience. The thing is this new chapter in the Imperium was just a stopgap because GW cant make their minds on their plans for the setting, IE they fear another Age of Sigmar clusterfuck.
A better warmaster than Abbadon
Who tf thought succession from the imperium would go well?
This is one of those armies that take work to look good. Just painting out of the box csm red will never match what they are.
Is this a video on how you should pay your taxes?
Huhuh. Why do they hate the Emperor.
Gw when making abaddon: he is evil and bad and bad dar bad villain who failed so bad we had to retcon him to be competent
Gw when making huron: A comlex and logical fall from grace supported by the failure of the imperium
oh hey it's better Black Legion
Huron did nothing wrong 🤷♂️
They did nothing wrong.
Was not their fault tbh
PLEASE REMOVE BACKGROUND MUSIC FOR SLEEP PLEASE 😴
Awesome
Blackheart should be war master .
