The Istvaan Dropsite massacre almost wiped out 3 loyalist legions - creating the shattered Legions - however these survivors would go on to make quite a large unexpected impact on the setting

Quite a number of them went to Baal which is supposed to be under siege, but of course we didn’t heard anything much from it anymore.
That's probably the real reason why Roboute Guilliman made the Shattered Legions into Space Marine Chapters with the Codex Astartes.

And the Dark angies, they’re just the dark angels.

@@orangensafttee4598 The Great Crusade is one of the most talked about time periods by characters in the setting, but one of the least written about. It's kind of surprising, as there are a ton of questions around this time that have yet to be answered. I'd also love to get a Malcador dedicated novel, as his perspective on everything going on would be massively insightful.

Iron Hands And Salamanders for making the Best War Gear out of all the chapters and being Tanky AF!!! Raven Guard for Stealth. Maybe add White Scars for Speed?
Ah yes, the Iron Lords. Good lads them. Fighting the good fight alongside the Scythes of the Emperor and the Lamenters.
I think what a lot people forget the shattered groups were basically the 1st step to the death watch. And how well they did clearly shows why the concept was adopted
I already loved Raven Guard, but gained so much respect for Iron Hands while going through the Horus Heresy, both have some really cool characters that don’t quit.

It was mostly Meduson, and those who travelled with Sharrowkyn. The Iron fathers that bicker and ultimately let down Meduson were effing pricks
"Raise the storm Medusan. Raise the storm" Bro not only went on to raise the storm, but literally pulled the biggest F-bomb in nearly killing 3 of the big bad traitor primarchs with just 3 gunships. Shadrak Medusan is the blueprint to my current setting successor chapter of the iron hands known as "the Iron Storm" a chapter consisting of mostly Iron hands but one that also has some Raven gaurd and Salamanders amoungst their ranks as that mobile chapter is one that pays homage to the shattered legions by you guessed it... raising a literal FKN STORM of firepower upon all traitors and enemies of the Imperium. IMO the shattered legions were the dark horse of the HH as true they pretty much died off, but not before completing near every single task they went out to do. Bros we salute you.

Sons of the Selenar remains one of my favorite books in the entire Heresy, it's a fitting conclusion to their story, hope you enjoy it.
I'm predicting that when Corvus and Lorgar return to the setting finally (they are narratively tied to each other at this point), that Sharrowkyn will also be brought back, potentially creating a source of conflict with the Astartes forces and the Mechanicus. I'd also expect around this time for Dorn and Perturabo to also be making a return, as I believe the Khan, Magnus, and Russ will all be returning as part of a grouped arc.

Autek Mor was such a chad during the Burning of Bodt, throwing a whole ass moon at the planet just to make sure it gets destroyed and the World Eaters don't get more reinforcements.
Iron Warrior Loyalists such as Barbaros Dantioch are absolutely some of my favorite. The Iron Warrior short story were Danitoch bitch smacked his traitorous kin back to the stone age with the destruction of the Schadenhold on lesser Damantyne and then teleporting to their ship taking over the ship without killing lots of people then starts his B.F.F with Pollux. Super awesome!
The end of Schadrak Meduson left such a bitter taste that I couldn’t help but let out a « ffs finally » when Loken blew Tybalt Marr’s brains out in Saturnine.

Reading an entire book about a bunch of iron hands and salamanders fighting against not only a planets worth of crazed dinosaurs but also a huge crazy daemon was a pretty cool read. That and any book with sharrowkyn in it is just awesome. I too decided I was going to take on the entire heresy about a year ago and it is a daunting task. But I do think it was worth it. Enjoy it
Majorkill really decided to thirsttrap the fuck out of the merch ad lmao well done
Superb video as always @majorkill. Could you make a video dedicated to the Navigators, the major houses, their politics, relation to the overall Imperium and factions, etc
I’d love for sharrowkyn to come back so we can get a multi pg “I’m fucked” reaction from Lucius
A video covering the relationships between the first founding chapters and there most prominent chapters would be cool
Another interesting video Majorkill, also please make an explain video on the centurion power armor and it's variants.
The Iron Hands really deserve more love.
Majorkill vids are always my go to while eating lunch. Man's a beast.
How would the imperium and the primarchs react to the return of Clonegrim? How would it impact the setting?
Reading sharrowkyn kill that weirdo lucius was literally one of the most satisfying kills I've ever read
Bro I love this man so much that when the video came out I just listened to him at work like a podcast
A video of the top ten community made wholesome moments would be great
I’m so excited for my emperor model to get here, merry Christmas major!
Great video as always. Maybe a video that compares Dorn and Perturabo's capabilities next time? Cause it has always been a debating point who is the better primarch in their craft of Siege and Defense.
I agree, it does take a while to read. I started reading the Heresy and Primarch book in July. I read on my breaks at work, and when I go do my laundry, and am currently at First Heretic and finished the first three Primearch books.
Big E truly protects just got home not to long ago got some food ahh a blessing indeed to have a new video
Feel ya on the length of the Heresy - I started during the pandemic and just started on The End & The Death 2. Gonna kill this series off, but goddamn there is a lot of it! Good luck on the journey. Also 'grats on the tacticus progress. Took you out in arena a couple of times last month, but can't touch your current lineup. Cheers for all the vids too. Appreciate ya
Idea: how did the imperium and the galaxy react to the emperors interment on the Golden throne? The primarchs were depressed and the custodians stripped (that's not a joke) but how did the rest of the imperium react?
Sharrowkyn in the current setting would be glorious.
Your only reading the Heresy now ? Man , some serious catching up to do. Get with the program Major . 🤩
Thank you for the absolute banger content, always enjoy your videos.
For the last year or so I've managed to fly through about 25 Horus Heresy books, and every single time since I've picked the series back up and Majorkill puts a video out with the main theme being one of the HH books, it's always the exact same one I'm reading or listening to at the time. Last night I hit pause after listening to the Shattered Legions audiobook for a couple hours, turned on my TV, went to youtube, and what do I see front and center? This video... It's always interesting to see what MK takes away from the books compared to me, and would love to see a series someday where he dives into some of the specific battles from the HH in more detail. I would love a 20 minute video on the battle for the Schadenhold, emphasizing just how hard Dantioch dunked on the traitors. Possibly the fattest and most embarrassing L that a traitor force ever suffered in the HH, in my opinion.
Can we get a video detailing the 4 champion space marines of the chaos gods what they did during the crusade,how they fell to the chaos gods, what they have been doing since!! Cheers mate
You know what I want for a video or even series. A what if X primarch was around after or survived the heresy.
MY BOY SHARROWKYN's ARMOR LOOKS EFFING SAVAGE!!! TALK ABOUT A "BEAKIE" !! THAT HELMET IS METAL AS ALL F**K!!!
In my opinion numion is the biggest Chad in the Horus heresy, it's because of his actions that we still have salamanders in 40k.
I love how ferrus ghost came back and spoke to sanguinius in the end and the death because he is one of my favorite primarchs and I think we need more ghost ferrus and iron hands lore.

Very true. Iron hands are a underrated legion
Wonderful video Fulgrim
Could you do a video about the battle of Beta Garmon? Titans clubbing each other sounds awesome
Do a video on the chief librarian from each legion.
I also liked Damnation of Pythos. It literally was pointless (last chapter), but that was the point. Most badass Iron Hands showing in any novel lol
Just saying, if you start a petition asking for Sharrowkyn popping up in current setting and permakilling Lucius or something like that, I am signing that paper right away.
Just wish there was more lore on non-chaos aligned warp entities, perhaps even an Argel Tal situation where an unlikely Guardsman or Inquisitor merge with a neutral warp-entity like what happened with Janus and the Noble Shard of Magnus
Sons of the selenar is one of the best stories .
yo bro, nice vid can you do an episode were you explain what every faction dus to bring back there dead
Survivors of the three legions shows just how dangerous and united they are.
Waiting for my Night Lord singlet to come for my bday which is december and i am pumped! I was wondering if you could make a video elaborating on those Iron Hands zombie robot guys you talked about?
I wish they would continue the story of that one Salamander with ptsd after the dropsite massacre. Kinda wish to know what happened to him.
Atticus was such a fucking badass man. Damnation of Pythos was actually my first ever Iron Hands book, in fact my first ever Horus Heresy book. I was so happy when reading Ruinstorm when it was shown to Sanguinius that the wound Madail had been dealt by Atticus never healed.
Could you do a video on the Raven’s Flight, otherwise known as Corvus’s bad ass escape from the traitors?
The Keys of Hel deserve their own vid. By far the most horrifying tech the IH have

I’ve learned a lot of 4K lore here but I’ve always wanted to know, what’s the lore behind the hands covering face thing on the “let’s get into it” part. Someone please I wonder on it every time
I think I have figured out how to defeat Lucius. Either trick him into entering a stasis pod, or if someone kills him, put that person in stasis.
Every Single Loyalist Chapter's Homeworld Explained
Hey major, can you talk about what animal still exist from earth? What kind of pets people have, beasts of war, ect?
What if the emperor ascended as a chaos God
DA were my favourite loyalist until I finished the heresy and now I think RG are my favourite. Corax is just the good guy
I'd reintroduce Ferrus to the setting as Iron Hands are massively underrated. Make him a warp/tech entity in the same way that loyalist holy daemons are but have it like a virus that changes the surviving iron hand gene seed so that he can directly commune with them like a machine spirit but can only do so with unaltered Iron hand gene seed. It also gives the added bonus of the spirit of Ferrus has the ability to take control of an Iron hand directly so long as the Iron Hand wills it however this is only a short period depending on the will of the warrior and is always fatal without exception. This opens up questions as to whether it's related to the Emperor's ability to possess people but in a different way and makes the Iron hands way way cooler than they are as if you can imagine a huge firefight with chaos closing in on the final few iron hands on the field and one of them is like "I got you boys, see you on the flip side." his circuits fry and Manus takes over. A Primarchs combat ability, knowledge and skill takes the field in a electric glowing lightning storm as the inhabited marine kicks the fuck out of everyone and then drops dead. Consequently the Emperor's children avoid them at all cost and to a certain extent the iron hands are forced to avoid the children as an overwhelming gasp for vengeance takes over to them and Ferrus can push his way in to take to the field, bypassing the will of the Iron hands giving the question is it really Ferrus or something else entirely that has his memories
Cool as always.
I listened to the audiobook of every HH book start to E&D Vol. 2, it took the better part of 4 years.

Just found this channel and i can say as an unemployed combat vet, i have trouble sleeping at night and am looking for something to pass the time. Ive never been much of a mobile/rpg gamer but the idea of being a Space Marine bullying a bunch of suncucks and goth nerds sounds is making me thnk i should start 😂🔥
It would have been cool to see vulkan fight angron at the dropsite massacre...
1:41 you got a side gig in Thunder from Down Under? 😂
I was waiting for Friday to get the Night lords shirt, but they sold out before I could get one. You should make a hoodie release for the night lords. It's ok, My credit cards won't be crying from Xmass by then, so I will actually be able to order something 😂
Gabriel Seth, chapter master of the Flesh Tearers, did state that the Space Marine Legions are gone by Horus' treacherous strike and Guilliman's book. No longer the Angels of Death they were. Just pockets of rag-tag Space Marine groups scattered all over the galaxy.
The epic nature of the Shattered Legions is why TheDamnation of Pythos passed me off.
Nothing to Lose design would be awesome on a hoodie. Too bad everything is sold out. Any chance on restocking the very specific design, possibly as a hoodie also?
No mention of Ulrach Branathan? Nykona stole his thunder.
We need a video on John Grammaticus.
I wonder how cool of a SM you’d get if you used all 3 gene seed of the shattered legions? Cool af no doubt
He was dead ... until he wasnt!
anyone taking it up that majorkill turns his hairsquig more and more into a version of fulgrims?
Majorkill the goat
Idk if you'll see this but what book are you on in the heresy, I just finished deliverance lost, it was pretty decent, nice to see corax
Does anyone have proper numbers on Iron Hands survivors after Istvaan 5? Ferrus took only his veterans (still a huge loss) but left the rest of the Legion behind to catch up. Then there's all those various groups scattered around - on Medusa, etc. It would be nice to have a good number on how many marines the Legion lost and how many were still around. Out of the 3 Legions (Salamanders, RG, and Iron Hands), Iron Hands should have retained a fairly sizeable amount of marines compared to the other 2.
Shadrak Maduson ... the coolest name in all the 40k (my opinion)
5:40 wait so Magnus came in and said hi I hope y’all resurrect everybody’s favorite black man??? Feel that needs greater explanation lmaooo
Have you read anything having to do with the Disciples of the Flames yet? I haven't been able to start the series, but it would be great to cover for a video.
