Explains the real reason why they hate the Imperial Fists so much. It’s not about being the best at breaking sieges or defending them. Both sides endure much in sieges. The Iron Warriors mentally broke here and the Imperial Fists are a constant reminder of their failure. A shining example of a legion that didn’t fail the same mental and loyalty test. Quite sad if one thinks about it. Perhaps the Emperor didn’t realise that when you christen your son the lord of iron... it makes it very hard for him to ask for help.

No wonder it broke their spirit to have their home turn against them.

DaX I don’t think it’s a case of him not caring, Perturabo has always struggled with the human element, both within himself and with others. There’s another story where Magnus asks him to build a device to help with psychic research only for Perturabo to crush it in front of him to make a point because he saw cruelty as the most efficient solution. Likewise with the decimation it was his attempt to teach his legion to never settle for being the second best, it wasn’t that he didn’t care more that he didn’t know how to show it. One wonders if guilliman had the tyrant of locos for a father and been bought up in the grudges and political intrigue of Olympian society if he wouldn’t have turned out the same way.

It's a pity. Once he gets to this point, he has a chance to look in the mirror, and all he sees is a monster. I feel sorry for him

Perturabo is often seen as less than his brothers. True he is not as charismatic, or as flashy, as most of the others. But that didn't make him any less great or worthy before he fell. He was mentally what his brother Mortarion was physically... I pity them both. Addendum: I KNOW it is not possible, whether from the in universe "rules" of becoming a Daemon, or the way that 40K works. But I wish that fallen Primarchs could be pulled out of the pit of pain, insanity, and corruption they drowned in and that their souls can find some of the peace they didn't have in life. Yes they were flawed, and yes they've done terrible things in service to their "patrons". But they are... were... human. And humans are flawed. I'd be satisfied with their souls, like Horus before them, being destroyed. Oblivion's nonexistence is better than eternity trapped with the "gods".

So ending them completely, so they are beyond the clutches of those Chaos bastards is likely the best to hope for in 40K.

When you work with iron you realize. You can harden iron. But, if you harden it too much; it becomes brittle. Perturablo became emotionally brittle. Instead of trying to work with and learn from his brothers. As many of them worked with and learned from both the emperor and each other. He hardened his resolve to prove himself worthy with out help or input. He closed himself off from the very resources that could best help him get what he wanted most. Respect and kinship.

Baldermort's recent video on the Iron Warriors is a must for this Iron Week and talks about the very moment ol' Perty ordered decimation.

"Iron indeed" Such weaklings and fools. "Loyalty is it's own reward". Lion El Johnson.

My heart breaks for Perturabo 😭 how a once loving son could go so wrong.

“Do you not see? Did you think Olympia is special somehow because I was found here?” That quote really shows his dedication. His own home he is willing to destroy in the name of the Emperor. That quote speaks volumes for his disconnect from any attachment.

This book actually ended up changing a lot of the way I look at the world. The line where his sister says (and I'm paraphrasing here) "You are like a small child who complains that people do not praise you for your brilliance while you hide in the dark, attempting not to be noticed." Exactly that. Perturabo is, and always will be, a spiteful character. But a huge part of the tragedy is that it's his choice to be a tragedy. The world didn't shove all of this upon him; he chose to be passive aggressive, to stay on the sidelines, to pursue other paths. He disdained the spotlight, and yet complained that he was never in the spotlight. It really made me think about how I do that in my own life to various extents. It was a great book.

At the end of the book the best part when I think forrix finds pertarabo that interaction was great. Best part is when forrix tells him some of men fought back against his orders and he said good like he was glad that some still had the will to fight against his rage.

He may have invoked some sort of discipline or penance but he probably would have given a way for Pert to redeem himself. Lesson being if you fucked up, don’t keep yourself from atoning from it.

17:08 Perhaps this is why he was so troubled. When you are branded the greatest, the most determined, the most worthy, it is hard to feel like any of those. When you are branded that way, your imperfections make you feel like an imposter. And it makes it hard to ask for help, or give in even the slightest bit.

Every time I can see the emperor is not providing the fatherly advice and guidance that he should be in situations that desperately call for it (Example: Perturabo ordering 10% of his Legion beaten to death by the other 90%) make me incredibly grateful that I have such a great dad.

Decimation was an extremely rare action for Roman Consuls to take. It was more of a looming threat only to be used as the most extreme of punishments. We actually have very few, if any, instances of it being used.

i teared up at this a bit the store of how someone that wanted so so badly to be the hero of his own story finds out his is the villein

perturabo couldve so easily remained loyal to emperor but his own insecuritys created a self fulfilling prophecy that caused his fall. he thought his brothers never respected him because he kept too distant from them but he didnt realise it was his own fault not theirs. if he had gone to the emperor after this story i really wonder what wouldve happened.

15:23 this is what is so sad about Perturabo and the Iron Warriors. All he wanted was to create great things, but was refused. All he was for was destruction, despite his inner wishes.

Outstanding! Much needed insight into Perturabo. Check out Angron:Slave of Nuceria. Really good! The lost potential. Man....

Goddamit I really just wish Big E had sent him a thank you note or an emoji hug or some shit. He would have been the BEST loyalist primarch. Dangit.

"He sought the strength of Iron, the strength of Stone. But iron rusts and stone is broken. It is the strength of the wind he must seek, that strength which seems small but given time can wear away mountains. Where iron breaks the winds and water bend and grow."

Holy shit, you can actually feel the pain that's eating away at him, the anxious dread. He charged towards the edge, slowing down towards the end. Enough to make him realize the consequences of his actions, not enough to come to a halt before falling down the cliff whose edge he now viewed with dread. Stuck falling, all he can think about is his mistake, unable to change his fate, unable to reach the edge. The one chapter i don't blame for their turning sides. ... What could have been, looking back...

I loved his book. It really did change my whole outlook on the IW and Perty-bo-bobobo.

I believe that Perturabo can be redeemed. If maybe the Emperor managed to get like a psychic message to him or something. But this hit me in the feels.

Man Perty needed more time with Hawk Boy and Vulkan. He would have gotten plenty of hugs.

Dam even after reading the book now hearing you go over it I miss my Iron Warrios force more then ever

Bro this channel is the shit for lore fans

Thank you ironnnnn

Perturabo was probably made to be the one who can make the hard, logical choices when all else fails (diplomacy, restraint, etc). The problem is that he is all too happy to make those choices, without exhausting other options. Because his default is to be inflexible and logical enough to make those calls, he is both unable and uninterested to seek a better way.

I now I'm 2 years late, but man these guys are my favorite chapter. Both traitor and loyal. When i first got into 40k about a year ago i probably hated them the most, but after going through this series on them i feel bad for them and find them to be one of the most well written groups in the heresy. If they ever bring Perterabo back they better do him justice.

You absolutely need to make a video about Perturabo's hope/dream vision from Angel Exterminatus.

Amazing. What was that background music you used? It was perfect for your narration.

This was so very sad, my shoulders just dropped at “Perturabo was broken”. The pain of losing control and the feeling of shame he had for his choices. 💔

Calling for decimation was cruel and heartbreaking... asking brother killing brother isn’t the Emperor’s legacy

There’s a moment at the end of the book where Pert asks one of his captains if any of his men disobeyed the order to destroy Olympia and almost seems relieved when he’s told there were. Brilliantly written

Perturabo doesn't know how to show love, or receive love, but wants it desperately.

I wish you had included the scene where he breaks down infront of forrix and asks if any rejected his order then you find out... Cause that's when he realizes to me that he and his legion are damned.

Rather then the legions working alone, independently, it would of made so much more sense for mixed legions as specialists, iron warriors build the fort, blood angels make it look pretty, ultramarines do the logistics, white scars scout while the Fort is built etc etc

Perturabo represents stoicism run amok. Without the temperament of honor (or at least restraint) valor and skill are brittle.
