On another note, Abaddon was kind enough to ship back Sigismund's body and the broken sword back to Terra instead of using his gene-seed for a daemonic summoning or some other corrupted chaos shit.
I like how Abaddon points out that he didn't manage to beat him because he got better at fighting, but because Sigismund with age finally stepped down to their level.
Not really. Story here is messed up with key words, but he managed to kill him by allowing himself to be mortally wounded. Abbadon allowed for Sigismund to strike a mortal blow to himself. When he did, he exposed himself and Abbadon struck his blow in return. His proved to be fatal. In essence, Abbadon killed him not through skill or mastery, but through sheer tenacity and persistence to live through mortal strikes.
Hourgath The Putrid oh. Are you? Are you that much thriving; you pathetic monster? You, who betrayed your kin. You who betrayed your home, your blood, your faith. What are you but a spineless; honorless; soules creature. What are you but a cowardly weakling that succumbed to the tentation of praying four pathetics beings called "god"? What are you but a Renegade; a traitor; that will never find peace? You are a Betrayer. Betrayer of your blood Betrayer of your race Betrayer of your kin Betrayer of your home Betrayer of the Imperial Truth. Know this; Monster. I see you attacking me constantly on your words. I will answer you kindly in the same type. I am not hurt by the brothers who betrayed me. I am not shaken by the amount of blood I spill in His name. For I am an adeptus Astartes; a son of the Emperor; a successor to the angel. And against creatures like you, teaming in numbers and powered by the will of four beings even more pathetic; you never managed to destroyed us. We have held the line; and we shall hold it for ten thousands years. What about you heretic? Are you that weak? Are you that pathetic? Truth be told. You are a spineless, cowardly, honorless; greedy, treasonous dog. Does my words burned you that much? Because yours left me as cold as the fenrissian cold.
The Senate 2: The Clone Man Attacks because Abaddon lived up to the reputation of his primarch? Abaddon is a weakling like his father; but Sigismund.. even though Dorn disowned him, did you really think that Dorn would have given him such an important position as the emperor champion during the siege of Terra if he did not trusted him?
@@Mr.Hun13r honestly i think they are more Greater Daemons. I imagine when a loyal Primarch dies. His soul is taken by big E and turned into his own Daemon princes
Even better if he returned as he was when he was in his physical prime, but with all the experience, wisdom and knowledge he gained over the years. The only reason Abbadon won was that he was as he was when they started the Horus Heresy, while Sigismund had grown quite old, even for a Space Marine. I doubt anyone, in the galaxy, the warp or beyond the galaxy would be able to defeat him, not even Khorne, nor any C'Tan or any other myriad of mighty being. He'd defeat them all, and with honour.
We know he dies and dies well to the point that abaddon even honors him buy returning his body with honorable care. so let the story be told. For Dorn...... For the Emperor

@@rabbit2686 then why do prayers to him work for those who see him as a god. I’m not saying he didn’t say he’s not a god but my half dead charger works when I invoke the aid of the omnissiah in prayer.
Suddenly my new head-canon is that Abbadon did kill Sigimund instantly, the only reason he thought Sigismund's corpse was speaking to him was because it was the manifestation of his own guilt mocking him.
This is the moment i really started to appreciate abbadon and his vision for the imperium. He was fighting for what he believed was right. He didnt want to kill sigismund but his ambitions demanded his death. He even regretted it afterwards and was awestruck by the quality of a warrior that sig was. I remember khayon saying that sig was old. Ancient even. He didnt die, he hated us too much
@@rsiraistlin2473 the Clone wasn’t a real Primarch, since Horus’ soul was destroyed a genetic clone is missing all that warp goodness that made the Primarchs OP, hence why he could kill even a naked clone of a Primarch, and why Clonegrim is in theory the “loyal” parts of Fulgrim soul If anyone cares Magnus’s soul was shattered and most of the bits that held his “good” qualities have been destroyed, making modern Magnus only able to feel bitterness, hatred, basically all the dark Jedi stuff from Star Wars without any light side to counterbalance it, hence why he holds a grudge against the Space Wolves despite knowing they were tricked by Horus into attacking Prospero Angron spends most his time fighting wars against the other gods for Khorne Perturabo and Lorgar basically spent 10,000 years (give or take depending on how time flowed for them) sulking on their own demon planets because being Chaos Undivided, no single chaos god can make them do anything Fulgrim has mostly been having a murder orgy dedicated to Slaanesh’s birthday everyday, unless he feels like getting dunked on by his old Legionaries in metal coffins (RIP Rylanor you absolute sigma), or he’s told by Slaanesh to go fight one of the other gods As for Mortarion, well, for him they basically couldn’t have Abaddon fail any more because memes, so they pretty much gave that job to Morty instead, and in the mean time he was sulking on (Not) Barbarus in between fighting wars against the other gods for Nurgle As for Alpharius/Omegon well for them they [REDACTED]
Abaddon was in a massive rejuvenation tank while telling this story (think Luke in Empire Strikes Back or Rico in Starship Troopers). That's a pretty big detail to get wrong. Also the way I read it was Abaddon was grief stricken by the death of Siggismund, and also stunned by his tenacity and down right refusal to die. Those final words shocked him to his core. Didn't really get the same vibe from this. Still decent though
The fact that the guy who chills with possessed chaos space marines, rubrics, obliterators, and plague marines is shocked by someones resilience says something.
Sigismund is the Imperium, dying, but does not beg, it gives the middle finger to the F***ers watching. True badass. Also, great animation, you forced me to buy the book.
Just listen to shame, rage, embarrassment, and respect in Abbaddon’s voice. Hatered and defiance in Sigismund’s last breath. Thats why I love Warhammer. The universe were giant space monks not only make perfect sense but let your blood boil with emotions.
People often fail to realize (Due to the meme's around abby) just how much of a brutal warrior and devastating presence Abbaddon is. The guy in Black legion is literally described as a tall as a towering primarch. And though they specify his blade skill is good at best he only needs to be good to win, savagely ruining his enemies with raw vengeance and bitter lust for battle. Even if faced with the king smurf himself Abby would go tooth and nail and maybe even fight him to a stand still.
Im pretty sure abaddon could kick guillimans ass. Its only because hes chaos juiced and weilding the talon of horus in one hand and the demon that nearly killed the emperor in the other, but hes definitely primarch level and could certainly kill the weakest of them easily I mean, he killed Horus' clone. It was even specified to be a perfect clone
@Game Changer old lorgar? Without a doubt. But mid heresy he got juiced on chaos and learned he was a psyker with the ability to tear titans apart. Now hes one of 3 daemon princes of chaos undivided in the entire setting, blessed by all 4 chaos gods in a way that far surpasses Abby's own blessings. He's still not the greatest hand to hand fighter, but Abaddon would still be out of his league with that one. I guess it would depend on circumstance though, GW have a bad habit of forgetting characters are psykers when they fight (like every time someone has fought the Swarmlord) so maybe Abby could come out on top
@@thefeatherbird_ The clone didn't have a soul which is 99% of a Primarch's power and he still barely won with backup. Guilliman would flatten him, even the weakest primarch (which Guilliman is most certainly not) eats the strongest greater daemons for breakfast.
As I heard this in the audio THE BLACK LEGION my heart was with Kadon as he and Abaddon had no hatred towards Sigismand nor the Black Templars, they may be the living embodiment of what they hate and fight against but they could not bring themselves to hate him
Strange. As soon as the video finished, I suddenly found myself wearing a white tabard with a Templar cross on it, as well as a 5000pt Black Templar army beside me. Huh.
I just finished the black legion book, which is my first book in the 40k universe and I have to say it was an amazing expirience and Khayon has become my favorite character in the setting
Sigismund was such a beast that even Abbadon respected him. Hell, he respected him so much that he sent both his body and the black blade back in one piece to be buried peacefully.
Many tears were and shall be shed this day. For the death of one of the finest Astartes is a loss that echoes through the ages. Farewell Son of Dorn and may the Emperor welcome you in his light.
Speaks through a mouth full of blood, committing the last of his life to biting off each word, ensuring he spoke each one in shivering, sanguine clarity Tells Abaddon that he will die as his weakling father died. Soulless. Honourless. Weeping. Ashamed. Refuses to elaborate. Dies.
Sigismund was one heck of a badass. Sorry to see him go. I think it's amazing that he almost killed Abaddon. According to the lore, he almost died from those wounds. I didn't think that was possible.
In lore, he suffered a wound that any space marine would 100% have died from. He only lived because warp fuckery was so excessively pumped into him that it gave him plot armor- I mean superhuman durability.
Small thing: Iskandar Khayon didn't have Saern (his axe) at this time. Saern was destroyed by Clone Horus, Khayon had a replacement made in the form of a sword, Sacramentum, which was made up of: -fragments of Horus's mace, Worldbreaker -Fragments of the sword of Sanguinius -crystals from the psychic deathscream of Sanguinius -Khayon's gauntlets -Khayon's emotions, blood, breath and memories -ashes of the avatar of the Astronomican -blood from the Fleshmarket's Primarch cloning project
I'm a Warhammer 40k collector myself, I collect the Black Legion and I'm a big fan of Abbadon because the books Talon of Horus and Black Legion show very well how the Black Legion came into being and also what attracted so many representatives of other legions to the new Legion, namely unity, a common goal in mind and the brotherhood to stand side by side on the battlefield and not to make war against each other in the eye of terror. What is clearly shown is that Abbadon honours worthy enemies.
Why? Sigismund died like any Space marine would want too, With his enemies blood (Ignore the fact that more of his was on the floor) on him and a curse on his lips.
Even dying, bisected, weakened and bleeding out- Our hero bit deep with the last fiber of his being. Speaking not just to cause pain- but uttering naught but truth.
Sigismund's words struck harder than his blade, leaving Abaddon wounded that would form into a scare of shame. Never to regain true clarity from the moment on, to be forever deemed weak, like his father.
Read Warhawk. Sigismund was literally seconds away from cutting down Abaddon during the Siege . "When I finished with Kharn, I will cut off the right hand of Horus"
Loved it! Though this is having me desiring more 40k vids etc that aren't pure battle-centric; there is so much more besides the battles that I'd love to see
And you know what’s best about Sigismund’s roast at the end. It’s all true. Horus was granted clarity at the very end when the Emperor obliterated him. In his eyes you could only seen anguish and shame at what he had wrought.
Funny the Son of Dorn would say Horus died a wretch, when his own Daddy abandoned him and the rest of the mustard boys to die onboard a burning starship.
I like to Imagine this will happen in 40k... Rogal Dorn looked down at the dead, tear ridden, body, of Abbadon. His Warhammer, having split the arch-traitor in two, gasps for air. Dorn watches as Abbadon dies, saying,"...For you, Sigismund...My Son." Dorn then walked away, a single tear of relief on his face.
The art is very well done, and the voice acting is better than usual for a fan project. My one point of criticism is that I think they should have cut some of Khayon's narration in this scene, and let the camera do the speaking for him. It's something that you need in an actual book as ADB wrote it, but is kind of distracting when you hear it over visuals where you should be able to just look at what he's talking about. Overall very well done and I would like to see more.
Least he admits he only won cause Sigismund got old, now that's serious respect to give to a hated enemy, even return his corpse all polite after that last breath but everlasting burn.
Pure zealous devotion to the emperor. Can twist it anyway you like…. But in the end, Sigismund died with absolute devotion. Deep in the back of his righteous mind, he might have been a little gutted he died the way he did… but he was always constantly expecting to die in the name of the emperor… to die in that name while landing a tremendous blow to such a mortal enemy of the emperor is the ultimate in heroic sacrifice. One Sigismund had no qualms in accepting. Besides… if it wasn’t for Abaddons “powers” beyond that of Sigismund, he would be in a similar state to that of the emperor or possibly even dead… so much as a guy like Horus can actually “die”…
Spoken as a true son of dorn, spoken as a true defender of humanity, spoken as a true warrior. All hail the first black blade whose honour was never tainted...never beaten.
This both Irks me, and makes me quite overjoyed to watch. By itself, the animation and voice work is pretty well done. HOWEVER having read the book, "Black Legion" I received a completely different tone. Abbadon was torn with grief at the death of Sigismund, acknowledging that he did not wish to, yet had to, kill Sigismund which he held dear to him for his unwavering loyalty in the Emperor. In this animation it looked like it was taken completely out of context, like someone didn't even read the book. Sigismund lacked his beard, Abbadon was not within a sort of medi-stasis tank, The armor of Iskandar Khayon was not burned black with the coatings of the *Black Legion* to signify his sworn loyalty unto Abbadon and his oath to keep all others of his legion as brothers. IT JUST DIDN'T FEEL RIGHT. Overall, I must say my 40k Fan Boner is appeased. *(Hush, I know I am 2 months late.)*

This is honestly one of the best animations I've seen purely because of the impact. I think you did a superb job portraying the characters.
I'm sad now
Strange. As soon as the video finished, I suddenly found myself wearing a white tabard with a Templar cross on it, as well as a 5000pt Black Templar army beside me. Huh.
I just finished the black legion book, which is my first book in the 40k universe and I have to say it was an amazing expirience and Khayon has become my favorite character in the setting
Sigismund was such a beast that even Abbadon respected him. Hell, he respected him so much that he sent both his body and the black blade back in one piece to be buried peacefully.
This is great. I literally just listened to this passage in Black Legion last week. It's fresh in my mind, So I was able to fully appreciate it.
Just finished the Black Legion, I loved it, and your animation is superb.
Many tears were and shall be shed this day. For the death of one of the finest Astartes is a loss that echoes through the ages. Farewell Son of Dorn and may the Emperor welcome you in his light.
Just finished my first Black Templar squad today! Thank you so much for videos! Please keep up the good work! For Dorn and Sigismund!
I love how ADB handled Abbadon. He made him a badass and a character that can't be described as pissheaded, armless failure.
Now if only he'd treat the Emperor with similar respect.
Shit he just dabbed on Abbadon in his final moments that was awesome.
“His last words, were his last breath... and..... his greatest roast.”
Speaks through a mouth full of blood, committing the last of his life to biting off each word, ensuring he spoke each one in shivering, sanguine clarity
Tells Abaddon that he will die as his weakling father died. Soulless. Honourless. Weeping. Ashamed.
Refuses to elaborate.
Dies.
Nice. The voice acting was good and the animation was viceral and memorable. Keep it up.
Abaddon: "You cannot speak, I've cut you in half!"
Sigismund: "Tis but a flesh wound!"
Sigismund was one heck of a badass. Sorry to see him go. I think it's amazing that he almost killed Abaddon. According to the lore, he almost died from those wounds. I didn't think that was possible.
In lore, he suffered a wound that any space marine would 100% have died from. He only lived because warp fuckery was so excessively pumped into him that it gave him plot armor- I mean superhuman durability.
These black Legion books have become my favorite 40k series. PARTICULARITY the audio book versions! Great vid!
This does the book justice, thanks for bringing this amazing scene to life!
Aaron Demski Bowden is currently the best author working for Black Library... Love this animation! For Dorn and the Emperor!
Small thing:
Iskandar Khayon didn't have Saern (his axe) at this time. Saern was destroyed by Clone Horus, Khayon had a replacement made in the form of a sword, Sacramentum, which was made up of:
-fragments of Horus's mace, Worldbreaker
-Fragments of the sword of Sanguinius
-crystals from the psychic deathscream of Sanguinius
-Khayon's gauntlets
-Khayon's emotions, blood, breath and memories
-ashes of the avatar of the Astronomican
-blood from the Fleshmarket's Primarch cloning project
abbadon should be in a healing tank for the intro
Yup
Rip 1 piece sigismund
Hail Sigismund. First herald and high marshal of the emperor's eternal crusade.
Bro was too angry even in the edge of death, he spoke facts
"Is it true time slowed him?" " If it was, it just brought him down to speed with the rest of us"
Sigismund and Stan Lee both died today. Neither will be forgotten.
I'm a Warhammer 40k collector myself, I collect the Black Legion and I'm a big fan of Abbadon because the books Talon of Horus and Black Legion show very well how the Black Legion came into being and also what attracted so many representatives of other legions to the new Legion, namely unity, a common goal in mind and the brotherhood to stand side by side on the battlefield and not to make war against each other in the eye of terror. What is clearly shown is that Abbadon honours worthy enemies.
As an Imperial Fists player I DON’T like this..
He died as any Son Of Dorn should. Putting a sword through his enemy and not allowing him to get the last word.
Why? Sigismund died like any Space marine would want too, With his enemies blood (Ignore the fact that more of his was on the floor) on him and a curse on his lips.
Then to the Arena Restrica we shall meet brother.
Why?
Even dying, bisected, weakened and bleeding out- Our hero bit deep with the last fiber of his being. Speaking not just to cause pain- but uttering naught but truth.
And when Khârn finds out, Abbadon is a dead man
Sigismund's words struck harder than his blade, leaving Abaddon wounded that would form into a scare of shame. Never to regain true clarity from the moment on, to be forever deemed weak, like his father.
The Omnissiah blessed my algorithm by recommending me this video after all these years.
i love how abbadon recognizes that sigismund did not hesitate to kill himself to have a chance at killing abbadon
Purely Epic.
They both knew, if they met during the siege of Terra. Abbadons carved corpse would’ve littered the ground, right next to Kharn’s.
Read Warhawk. Sigismund was literally seconds away from cutting down Abaddon during the Siege .
"When I finished with Kharn, I will cut off the right hand of Horus"
Loved it! Though this is having me desiring more 40k vids etc that aren't pure battle-centric; there is so much more besides the battles that I'd love to see
Dude that was dope! Great work!
I'm not crying, you're crying
Fantastic I think one of the part of the story is the respect he has for sigmasund it's almost like he dosent want to kill him but has no choice
And you know what’s best about Sigismund’s roast at the end. It’s all true. Horus was granted clarity at the very end when the Emperor obliterated him. In his eyes you could only seen anguish and shame at what he had wrought.
Sigismund, 1st Captain of the Imperial Fists, 1st High Marshall of the Black Templars, 1st Emperor’s Champion, the Greatest Space Marine of All time.
sigismund is so powerful he ALMOST cut through abbadons plot armour
Sigismund's last words were epic.
Funny the Son of Dorn would say Horus died a wretch, when his own Daddy abandoned him and the rest of the mustard boys to die onboard a burning starship.
I like to Imagine this will happen in 40k...
Rogal Dorn looked down at the dead, tear ridden, body, of Abbadon. His Warhammer, having split the arch-traitor in two, gasps for air. Dorn watches as Abbadon dies, saying,"...For you, Sigismund...My Son." Dorn then walked away, a single tear of relief on his face.
I've watched this a million times and just realized it was from Valrak
Sigismund only lost due to plotarmor.
Abbadon was so impressed by Sigismund, he sended his corpse back to terra so he could get his proper rites.
My compliments to who did this
Wow. The voice work was very well done.
He died the same day as Stan Lee did, my two heroes
High Marshal Helbrecht Stan Lee was also murdered by Abaddon?
@@davetycho8330 Sadly yes but not before Stan snapped his fingers and the Black Crusade failed
With his dying breath he cursed him to forever be known as Failbaddon the armless, arch-disappointment.
The art is very well done, and the voice acting is better than usual for a fan project. My one point of criticism is that I think they should have cut some of Khayon's narration in this scene, and let the camera do the speaking for him. It's something that you need in an actual book as ADB wrote it, but is kind of distracting when you hear it over visuals where you should be able to just look at what he's talking about. Overall very well done and I would like to see more.
Least he admits he only won cause Sigismund got old, now that's serious respect to give to a hated enemy, even return his corpse all polite after that last breath but everlasting burn.
will the black sword of Sigismund black sword ever be wielded ever again?
Sigismund lore is literally the reason I play Templars today. Sigismund is a beast
Sigismund really said "nah i'd win"
We. Want. MORE.
Thx lad.
This should definetly become a new serie on the best scene of the Heresy!
Sigismund could have crossed the Rubicon Primaris and become stronger.
Brothers and Sisters, Chapter Master Valrak has provided us with visuals of the ultimate *FUCK YOU* to Chaos. Take notes
Gotta love the fact you used the hours heresy legions battle theme for the music.
You know, there’s already a bunch of people screaming DREADNOUGHT LOKEN. It may be a little late, but I say DREADNOUGHT SIGISMUND!
One of the best books showing chaos as three dimensional characters, not just a plot point for the good guys.
Pure zealous devotion to the emperor. Can twist it anyway you like…. But in the end, Sigismund died with absolute devotion. Deep in the back of his righteous mind, he might have been a little gutted he died the way he did… but he was always constantly expecting to die in the name of the emperor… to die in that name while landing a tremendous blow to such a mortal enemy of the emperor is the ultimate in heroic sacrifice. One Sigismund had no qualms in accepting. Besides… if it wasn’t for Abaddons “powers” beyond that of Sigismund, he would be in a similar state to that of the emperor or possibly even dead… so much as a guy like Horus can actually “die”…
Spoken as a true son of dorn, spoken as a true defender of humanity, spoken as a true warrior. All hail the first black blade whose honour was never tainted...never beaten.
He went down fighting. He died like a badass.
This both Irks me, and makes me quite overjoyed to watch. By itself, the animation and voice work is pretty well done. HOWEVER having read the book, "Black Legion" I received a completely different tone. Abbadon was torn with grief at the death of Sigismund, acknowledging that he did not wish to, yet had to, kill Sigismund which he held dear to him for his unwavering loyalty in the Emperor. In this animation it looked like it was taken completely out of context, like someone didn't even read the book. Sigismund lacked his beard, Abbadon was not within a sort of medi-stasis tank, The armor of Iskandar Khayon was not burned black with the coatings of the *Black Legion* to signify his sworn loyalty unto Abbadon and his oath to keep all others of his legion as brothers. IT JUST DIDN'T FEEL RIGHT. Overall, I must say my 40k Fan Boner is appeased. *(Hush, I know I am 2 months late.)*
