Hearing Warhammer lore as someone who knows only the very basics is such a fever dream. It’ll be something like “grand duke-marshal Octamus Priminius battled dread-lord Malius Baddus in hand to hand combat for three weeks. Also 3 million unnamed soldiers died on a battlefield akin to WW1 but somehow worse, they’re sacrifice had literally no effect”.

Can't wait 20 years from now when they reboot all of the Horus Heresy saying that all the books where written from Alpharius's perspective.

"just sharpe 'em..." Now waiting for Bernard Cornwell's next book in which it is revealed Richard sharp is in fact a perpetual who has fought in every one of mankind's wars

3 years since this moment and they've only just gotten to the dual between horus and sanguinius, they REALLY do drag these books out

It's ridiculous

The Sacrifice of the Unnamed Guardsman is way more powerful in the original text. Horus was manipulating the Emperor when he saw the guy, kept pulling on the Emperor’s strings with lines about how he was doing what he was doing for Humanity. He had broken the Emperor completely in body and almost entirely in spirit when the random guy reached the bridge, and Horus tried to convert him. He laid out his whole argument for humanity’s need for warrior-rulers like him and all the dark powers the Emperor had denied them. The guardsman heard all this, internalized it, and then stabbed Horus in the throat. The human was destroyed, instantly. Like flicking a fly. And the Emperor killed his murderer.

Just got done listening to Know No Fear where they talk about Ollanius Persson. They way it's pronounced in the audiobook I thought the name was Allanius.. so A. Persson. Very on the nose, even for GW.

Sure, my venture bros guys turns out to have some tom and ben. Nice

I wonder how big the overlap is

I’m thinking back on the number of mortal humans that matter in the Heresy, and while it’s more than Ben describes, it’s less than we’d like: Marshal Hektor Varvarus Scribe-Adept Katanoh Tallery Pilot Banu Rassuah Iterator Kyril Sindermann Remembrancer Euphrati Keeler Imagist Mersadie Oliton Poet Ignace Karkasy Shipmaster Mathanual August Shipmaster Lotara Sarrin Shipmaster Boas Comnenus Shipmaster Baryk Carya General Eugan Temba Flight Officer Racel Vought Vox Officer Tirin Maas Agent Haln Assassin Eristrede Kell Sister of Silence Amendera Kendel Colonel Sparzi Trooper Bale Rane Chamberlain Principal Tarasha Euten And many more, I’m sure

I don't mind Perpetuals in the lore. It's fun imagining the Emperor being such a massive piece of upjumped shit that he alienated almost all of his fellow immortal humans.

Aww, fuck. Turns out Piers isn’t going to be the one to Mr. President and take the bullet. At least he still got to go out like a badass standing his ground against Angron

Was a good ending for the character all things considered. Although, tbh I don't mind Oll' Persson. He and the Emperor were old friends, possibly the only one the Emperor ever had and so his death is bound to make more sense, for an emotional impact on the Emperor that is, than some random guardsman. Hell, the Big E barely cared for his own sons, I doubt he'd care for an average joe.

@@willl676that’s kind of what I’ve been thinking. The Emperor literally sacrificed 1000 psykers for three hours in the webway, why would he care about some random guy

That's amazing that Ben then used this story in a Lorehammer of Yourhammer and Tom didn't immediately remember this

Audio seems to be out of sync

@@muffindragons To be fair, I think they were slightly out of sync live anyway.

is the audio out of sync?

its sad they forget all the remembrancers of all the traitor legions who are really really good... but dead Mortals.

I just want them to keep Ollanius Catholic.

Spoiler alert: they ruined it but also kinda didn't? Ollianius is still a mega man but there's some cool stuff added to the fight

This is more, explain the siege of terra than anything else ... Less an explanation...more a summary Ill summarize Avengers civil war .....The avengers all work to save humanity, this still creates damage,pain and judgement in the world as well as draws another larger enemy to it. Their actions lead to a drive to police the good guys but some of them dislike the ideal..the two groups battle. There you go..no need for the movie or the comics.
