4:30 - "This entire operation was planned by the Ultramarine" - think there's a typo there

More 40k or Warhammer old world content 🎉🎉🎉 this series has exceeded my expectations

I absolutely love the schoolyard dialogue between Gulliman and Lorgar when the battle kicks off.

I feel bad for Angron. Man was a good dude before the nails and was meant to be an empath to stop conflict between the Primarchs. He never wanted the implants and he never wanted to be a daemon of khorne

Guilliman sure knows how to get his legion decimated and his entire fleet destroyed, multiple times

the thumbnail looks like Gulliman punching off the head of a word bearer

This is the battle that made me love the smurf's, their sheer unexpected furious tenacity in the face of word bearers bullshittery is a joy to read.

Erebus is the sniveling sneak that you need to hate.

Now I get why Kharn hates Erebus.

At least mentioned firendship of Argel and Kharn. Forgeting Rylanor was already a disgrace to the Emperor.

My 2 fav things kg/ww and 40k will never fail to put a smile on my face

Aka when Papa Smurf got angry and took a hands on approach

I honestly would pay a stupid amount of money to watch this series. Once again your artist did a phenomenal job. The fact that you do this without a paywall is amazing. Very well done WW

For some context, in angron primarch novel, the nails are described by their librarians as having a black spider-like presence in the warp(which could explain why librarians themselves couldn't be implanted with them and why angron suffered much more in presence of librarians/psykers in general). Still on Angron, it was known way before the battle that the nails were killing him(never out loud). Regarding the destroyed abyss class, that was an underrated event and book. Lastly, it's customary in audio books that c in nuceria sounds more like s rather than k, and e in macragge being silent. Props to portrait maker, managed to give a somewhat battlescarred appearance to lorgar and air of dignity to erebus (the asshole, many crimes are attributed to his usually smug face, even in the very last book in the siege of terra segment).

The illustrations are pretty great man, well done really brings the lore alive.

We will never forget the betrayal at Calth.

I HATED the scale of armies used by scifi writers in 40k . One million soldier might sound a lot but Germany alone sent over 3 Million soldiers in operation Barbarossa so you think the Imperium of Man with its hive worlds and forge worlds would see 1 million guardsman as a rounding error. It's like how old scifi books described distant worlds in the mere millions of km because it sounded like a lot but in reality, it wouldn't even get you to Mars.

Almost makes me want to reread the Heresy. Almost! Its soooo many bloody books lmao

This was a great book , never thought I'd sorry for a world eater
