I've said this once, but this really show how hardcore Corvax is and much of a loser Lorgar remain. Think about it. The dude got the official daemon ascension, probable training from the four, a turf to stand on and mold as he wished, his boys and years of experience to go by. Corvax likely shifted without any warning, had to learn to use his new stuff by himself in constant enemy territory, then, he went by himself, again, against Lorgar 's gang who I assume has experience with daemon stuff. All of them and their boss in familiar terrain... And Corvax still one-sidedly whooped his ass with no effort on his end. The dude got his ass kicked in his homeland by a dude who just managed to get a grasp on his new powers while outnumbering him. This is embarrassing for him, and pretty impressive for Corvax.

As much as I loved kurze and sanguinius week, it's the underrated primarchs who benefit from this series. Angron, perturabo, and jaghati are all some of my favourite primarchs, really thanks to this series. For a future primarch week, may I suggest mortarion. Another primarch who I don't really know anything about not have any appreciation for yet.

I class Corax alongside the Khan as one of the most lethal Primarchs. They’re understated, quiet, and unknowably lethal. Corax doesn’t get the credit he deserves.

Wolf Lord Rho: mixes the World Eaters up with the Alpha Legion. Me: *shrug* Alpha Legion gonna Alpha Legion.

Oh my god yes Corax getting the recognition from the wolford himself. Feels so good to hear you being up the big selling points of him. He looks the most like the Emperor. His father sees himself in him. He shared secrets with Corax no one else was privy to of the warp. Bonus one he asked about his missing brothers because Corax is a genius and figured hes missing two brothers. The Emperor does not shut him down.

Corax week?! *Happy Raven Noises*

With Lorgar dead, it would have had massive effects on the Heresy. It would have meant to surprise attack on Ultramar and thus Ultramarines would have retained a lot more of their strength. Combine that to there not being Ruinstorm, it would have also meant Ultramarines would have been able to reinforce other fronts around the galaxy along with them being able to arrive to defend Terra in the Siege much earlier forcing Horus to retreat and leading to the Emperor surviving. And without Lorgar to ascend Angron into Daemonhood, he would have died to Nails and the World Eaters would probably have shattered.

my favorite part of the heresy is just how many times Lorgar gets his shit kicked in

I've mentioned this before but I hope you'll cover the meeting between Corax and Lorgar on the chaos world where Wordbearers built a temple (the short story named "shadows of the past" I think).

Corax -You (3000) take the left flank. Ravenguard captain -What about the right flank lord? Corax -That ones mine. One of the best moments to show how amazing the Primarchs are.

Corax is a top tier fighter best most relatable primach. With most of your sons gone what you be like. Rage, depression and a fixation on destroying what took your sons from you. Damned or too be damned.

Corax is my favourite because his is the ultimate greek tragedy level story. He's the only primarch that was more than a primarch. He was human. He didn't see himself as a weapon or a tool. He was the only one who considered a life for himself after the crusade. Wanted to be a military historian. Yet he's the one who fell the most. He never turned to Chaos. But he abandoned his humanity and turned himself into a weapon for vengeance. He's not a traitor or a loyalist in the end. Just a weapon. He never betrayed anyone. But he did betray himself. He's arguably the only primarch except maybe Vulcan. Who didn't see himself as superior to his sons or to ordinary humans. He was better than a primarch. He was human. And that's where all the rest. even Gulliman and the Emperor failed.

Definitely one of Corax's best moments as the Emperors Wrath! The beginning of a 10 000 year hunt!

I’d love to hear your thoughts on the audiobook drama, Ravens Flight. The end to that book gave me some of the deepest emotions of the Horus Heresy series!

last time i was this early Argel Tal was still alive

Dropsite massacre was what really pulled me in to the lore, been hooked since

Really enjoy the vids mate. Keep them coming.

Poor Corax. It wasn't bad enough that his legion was annihilated at Istvaan, no he still had to get crapped on by the Alpha Legion in _Deliverance Lost._ Every time Corax tried to rise from defeat, he got kicked in the teeth. No wonder he became depressed.

I'm surprised we didn't get the bit after Corax's "for the Emperor". *But he lied to us.... Father lied.* All this, before he reflects on the fact that of all his brothers, he least wanted to fight, and yet found himself dying on a battlefield. I'm no fan of Lorgar, but I can't help but feel for him when he says that. It doesn't make his actions right, or excusable, but it shows just how human all the Primarchs were, Lorgar perhaps most of all.

Wolf Lord Rho: It's such a shame the Raven Guard got cut down here, as it really stopped us from seeing more of Corax as he took on more of the other Primarchs. Ferrus Manus of the Iron Hands: Are I a joke to you? I got Jack Shit!

Corax is criminally underrated and deserves more justice. Most of his brothers are in the line of “the man of vanity stands in the front so the world sees him” while Corvus Corax is more like “the man with no vanity stands in the back so that he can see the world”. This Primarch never seeks attention, couldn’t give a damn if he’s in the spotlight, never begged dad’s attention or favours and is focused in doing his job in the most efficient manner possible. I like to think that the fact there’s scarce lore about the Ravenguard is a testament of their efficiency

What a beast. Corvus' journey made all the more powerful by the Raptors storyline and alpha legion infiltration and abduction of the untainted primarch genetic materials.

Favourite primarch n legion. Thanks so much! Everybody needs to know. For the Raven lord.

Can’t wait for the “Round 2”. C’mon we already know Corax is alive and kicking, and now is the best time for return.

You really bring this lore alive for me

Lorgar is now hiding from Corax' vengeance

Corax* is pretty good from before the heresy but I think all his time in the warp now will definitely make him a talk a top three contender we have no idea how much the psychic power has been developed while fighting within the warp. During a rematch Lorgar it’s definitely gonna die

Fantastic,the grief and angst suffered by corax in the fields of horror,the istivan drop site.how he let his emotions free rein for but a second or two,produced a tear to mark this moment of suffering and then to force all of his grief into anger,to use it all as the coal that lit the furnace to drive the engine of destruction which was turned on his once loved brother. Just brilliant,the story, the atmosphere and the emotions described in a tale of monstrous betrayal. I loved every moment.. thank you for story,and the insight into corax..

Corax is not just a top tier fighter but a top tier general too. He lead his legion with the skill of a guerilla army, the passion and intuition of Patton, and the love of a father.

Corax and Raven Guard need more screen time, just saying it.

Great reading. Your words makes me fall in love with the traitor Primarchs. Lorgar knowing the future, knowing what will happen. Running directly towards Corax, facing his fate without hesitation and bravely. Ever truthful and explaining the future state to Corax. Revealing to him that stasis is the true opposite. I love it. Unfettered, unyielding truth. Lorgar has got to be the best Primarch ever.

Everyone loves an "Emo Raven Guard" meme but in my mind the Ravens are so criminally underwritten. Some of my favourite lore throughout the Horus Heresy books centres around the Ravens and Corax particularly. It's definitely slightly sad when the Iron Hands get so much attention throughout the series but the Raven guard (much like the Alpha Legion) barely get a mention. Corax was very much an underrated Primarch and definitely one that deserved more. Hopefully you'll finish Corax week on the Corax vs Lorgar short story which opens things open so well for a potential return for both of them....

Yes! Finally!

15:01 I feel like attention needs to be drawn to the sheer badassery of being completely unphased by a goddamn headbut.

This really got me.

Corax was and is simply awesome. I suspect, however, that we won't see him again until he does kill Lorgar. Fine by me. That heretic needed offing before the heresy really began.

Lorgar IS the first traitor son.

Corax was also the last raven to leave the massacre. Truly a father who cares.

Hi WolfLord Rho. Really happy to see Corax week is here. The Raven Guard are one of my favourites, and it’s good to see them get the spotlight they deserve. I’m looking forward to the rest of the week’s videos. I do have just one piece of advice though: when rereading the books in preparation for a new video, I’d advise taking down more complete notes. You made a few errors in this video (which is unlike you from what I can tell), like stating that there were only two Primarchs waiting for them on the surface, and that the World Eaters were part of the reinforcements of ‘loyalists’ that arrived later, and no mention of the Alpha Legion (I’m guessing you meant to say Alpha Legion but said World Eaters by mistake).

heh, Corax was probably the only one who disliked Horus (well, maybe Curze and Angron but hey - they hated everyone and were hated in return) because he took everything for granted and liked to be center of attention even at the expense of others (namely Raven Guard lives). I remember a moment when Corax contemplated if he actually saw the signs of what was about to happen. When I think about it, Corax was in many ways opposite to Horus. Horus wanted to rule while Corax decided to cede power to the mortals when he's no longer needed. Definitely one of the better personalities among the Primarchs. And the Emperor even trusted him so much that he spared a moment during the time most critical to give him an information about the Primarch project (and he was also in some way privy to the knowledge about the true nature of the warp). Where many Primarchs were somehow narrow-minded in their approach, Corax always found an unexpected solution as he demostrated during his tabletop Warhammer session with Guilliman who was one of the best all-rounders on the field of war and this skill allowed them to survive the impossible odds of Istvaan V massacre and subsequent 80 days. Well, He's certainly one of the better fighters among the Primarchs but I would consider him with the Lion and Dorn on the 6th or 7th place after the obvious choices and Ferrus before or after them.

I hope their round 2 gets read this week as well!

Hell yeah just got Deliverance lost on Audible ! Can’t wait to listen through!

The background music here (Spirit) couldn't be more appropriate for Corvus.

He was something beyond furious

That scene where Lorgar gets saved by Kurze's claws is pretty insane, one of my favourite moments.
