    I am in the process of binge watching this entirely channel. Love it!
  • @korstmahler
    Ten thousand years later, the tactical actions and outlook of the Iron Warriors would make them heroes of the Imperium, were they still loyal. They were miles ahead of the curve (presumably because there's a pillbox around said curve and they're busy throwing bodies at it). They'd be best friends with the Kriegers.

    The work horse never gets the praise it deserves, if any other legion tried to do what the 4th did they wouldn't have a legion left to rebuild. Its okay Perturabo I appreciate you, Who else would have a baneblade as a personal command vehicle
  • @nafsiammara
    Perturabo is also the only Primarch who emerged fully aware of everything around him immediately. Part of why he's such a cold bastard.
  • @weldonwin
    Perturabo: I DEMAND TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY!!! Rogul Dorn: No...

  • @Ideo7Z
    Primarchs of the other legions are more honored and famous with their charisma and ability to work the masses with good P.R. Perturabo lacked those skills. The Iron Warriors should have hired a good PR agency or had more remembrancers.
  • @leopoldjenkins
    You know a lore video is good when it makes you rethink your opinion on a topic. Outstanding piece
  • @zenoblues7787
    It always surprised me that the Legion with the most advanced and numerous technology, with commanders driven by cold logic refused to commit to any tactics other than attrition and siege warfare. Although based upon this video it seems to have been done out of sheer stubbornness
  • @derekburge5294
    Everything about your presentation, from the tone of narration, cited pictures, background chanting, and extensive information about the subject REALLY helps with immersion. 10/10: would recommend until Ordo Redactus blams narrator.
  • @D2017_
    Poor iron warriors. They weren't sourced from scum of the earth like the blood Angel's or prisoners like the night lords. They were just dudes. Then after being treated like expendable garbage for a long time, they finally get to meet their dad. But its perturabo :(
  • Great video. I found the perterabo novel engrossing. He really was a tragic character. That and angel exterminatus made me actually feel a bit sorry for him.
  • @geoffjones8808
    Know then that you are my new favorite source of 40k lore.
  • I love the in-universe feel of the series, not to mention the vibe set by the music and voice
  • @LordTelperion
    Well, damn. The Emperor was a fool and begging for rebellion for letting this travesty continue.
  • @garysuarez9614
    You have a vocal style that is what I'd call "graceful and stylistic." Thank you for your work.
  • @kaiusbellum107
    Exceptional depth, Gracefully narrated and thought provoking another out standing video, 40k lore as an art form
  • @KCCxn
    Easily my favorite warhammer 40k lore channel. Thanks man.
