Good move! And now he's chillin with sigismund, hoping you make a vid on the status of librarians/sorcerers from chapters/legions that opposed magnus at his trial
Honestly the biggest reason 40k will never get a movie or tv series. No actor would ever want to play Erebus and be hated by the world forever and for all time lol
I'm a Dark Angels fan through and through but Loken is a solid bro to hang out with. I personally want to hang out with Chief Librarian Ezekiel. I'd love to see how he interacts with the Lion.
The best part of his "Cerberus" persona was the fact that when the Dropsite Massacre happened and Garviel was alone with the dead, he thought that, somehow, he was literally the last loyalist space marine in existance So, he decided that if literally every other astartes was dead or a traitor, he would go on fighting till his last breath as the last loyalist, the guard dog of Hell itself, Cerberus.
I actually thought that Erebus literally backstabbing Loken was incredible. The Samus bit was amusing, but I think the whole thing was really always about Abaddon. As long as Loken was still alive, there would be some piece of the old legion left that may have been able to sway Abaddon away from the path of the Despoiler. By killing Loken, Erebus seals Abaddon's fate and also illustrates how far he had already fallen.
'Then come back to me, Garviel', said Horus. 'Feel that warmth again, don't you want to be a part of the greatest endeavour the galaxy has ever seen?' 'I already was', said Loken, turning his back on Horus. 'It was called the Great Crusade.' ~Excerpt from the novel "Vengeful Spirit"
"I was never a Son of Horus. I was and remain a Luna Wolf. A proud son of Cthonia, a loyal servant of the Emperor, beloved by all. I am your enemy." Garviel loken Last Lunar wolf
In Horus Rising, he mentions how he and Torgaddon were less like “True” Sons of Horace. Which is one of the reasons I think their bond was even stronger. It was FUCKED when Torgaddon fell to Little Horus. Garviel / Cerberus is my favorite character. Tied with GARRO
Lol the Horace heresy. I'm not a language guy but I always thought using Horace instead of Horus was funny. Sons of Horace... We got Burt, Elmer, bill and Percy.😂
@@christiandauz3742 I doubt his soul is what became Samus; Erebus said that it was the echo of Loken’s death, the _tragedy_ and _emotion_ surrounding it, is what eventually gave birth to Samus. Garvy’s soul no doubt escaped the ruinous powers, and may watch over the imperium to this day as one of the Legion of the Damned.
Remember when, in the first three HH books, Mersadie Oliton was always 'miring Loken and taking pictures of his Muscular, Sweaty, Astartes physique? There's like half a dozen scenes of Loken in the training cages and Mersaide click-click-clicking away tons of semi-nude picts of Garvie. Remember when, in Flight of the Eisenstein, Garro and the gang are brought to Rogal Dorn to testify for the accusations of Horus' Heresy, and it is finally Olitons mind-documents that sway the Imperial Fists to trust the Eisenstein crew. I always chuckle when I think of the moment when Mersadie's bulbous head is connected to the pic-screens and a flood of steamy, half-naked pictures of Loken fill the view :D Picture after picture of Garviel training without a shirt on, taking a shower, schmearing lapping powder on his armour with his muscles bulging all over his sweaty body... Damn, dirty remembrancers..
Garviel Loken reminds me of what Joe Kubert had said about his character "Sergeant Rock". He saw him as linked to the second world war. "He was born with the opening shots of WWII and dies of the last bullet fired on the last day of the war."
Loken's been my fave since I started reading the first Horus Heresy books, and I found myself disappointed when it started branching out to books that didn't include him. Except Fulgrim, loved that one. I probably wouldn't have gotten into 40k books without him! He's the first character that drew me in.
3:05 It would be one hell of a plot twist if 6319 was, in fact, the real Terra and the 1 everybody's been thinking of is actually a fake all along. It would also fit quite well into all the twists happening in the setting.
My ideal home-brew chapter is a lunar wulf chapter under the guise of an ultramarine successor. I love the idea of loyal lunar wulfs conducting a shadow crusade to right the wrongs of their traitorous father and brothers. To hunt down the despoiler and end him
His story wrap up in the last book had me messed up for days. The writing in the Horus Heresy and Siege of Terra is beyond superlative. "Look out! Samus is here."
Can you imagine: instead of staying behind on the Vengeful Spirit and getting his ass handed to him by Erebus of all people, he gives a few seconds to look at Horus' body with empathy before teleporting back to Terra. In short, what if Loken survived the Heresy? imo, if he survived, Other than being one of the founding members of the Grey Knights, we'd have Luna Wolves successor chapters in the current setting, although disguised as "Ultramarine" successors
He is by far my favorite character, in general too not just outta the Space Marines. The Heresy series was my introduction to Warhammer so that's probably a big part of it but yeah I felt he was very relatable which turned out to be pretty rare for Space Marine characters.
Erebus killing him felt tacked on and messed with the flow of the story, which was great. I’m tired of Erebus, he isn’t even a good character yet the writers treat him like the golden goose when at most he’s bronze.
Damn it perfect (horrible) timing! I just finished Horus Rising literally an hour ago, just started False Gods, and then noticed a new video. I can't watch this yet. And obviously Majorkill is in my brain. We're like soulmates, but more like bros. We're soulbros.
Never forget that before the remembrancers he befriended, there was Kyril Sindermann. The iterator, that knew the way and only realised his faults, when he saw the true might of the Emperor in those libraries burning down after his reading the book of Lorgar. He even saw one of the beasts of nurgle before Gavriel killed it and helped build the Cult and helped our boy back onto his feet time after time 💪
Brother in imperium, Remember, Battle of Isstvan III was a loyalist victory. Little of they gave everything. Victory will be a cathedral that will be built on the foundations of their sacrifice. The greatest generation of astrates ever.
I suppose (unlikely) the Emperor could take Loken's soul and kluge on the broken bits of Horus' soul to remake the Primarch, I prefer Horus being blasted to oblivion but (Mercy to keep him from Chaos, or pragmatism to prevent a return either way. I want Horus perma-dead)
In the vast darkness of the wide galaxy, I smile with a hint of joy knowing there were Luna Wolves, feared for their ferocity who stayed loyal to the Emperor, finding their glory stripped away for heresy, and finding glory in the end...
I think a really cool detail to add in future Erebus stories is that Erebus never wants to be alone with Abaddon. He's willing to work with him during a black crusade but he knows that Abaddon thinks he killed Gaviel.
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
The only real mistake the emperor made was thinking the primach would be like space marines he didn’t put enough time raising them and assuring loyalty
I heard the name "WARHAMMER" over the years but never knew anything about it. Started watching videos about it after seeing the "fan_film" "ASTARTES " (what an awesome piece of work that was) can't believe how class the lore is in this universe. If a film or series is every made on this i hope to God it's done by ultra talented fans. Like the guy who did Artsartes. Because I wasn't impressed by HALO one bit.. This and other stuff (like Halo) deserve better. (Deserve the best)👍🇮🇪🙏
Nobody talks about it but I think the best thing we got out of the Heresy was Abaddon growing as a character more than just a Saturday morning cartoon villain.
Looking back, it was unfortunately clear that Garviel Loken had to die. In the book of Pandorax, where Abaddon the prisoner interrogates Epimetheus and wonders who he is, he said that he cannot be his former brother because he had seen him die. At the time I thought he meant Severian. But now it is unfortunately clear that he meant Loken. This means that Loken's death was apparently decided years ago. It's a real shame because I was hoping until the end that it would be Loken who would hopefully kill Abaddon at some point. Unfortunately that was a mistake. R.I.P Garviel Loken, Captain of the 10th Company of the 16th Legion, dearest and last son of Horus loyal to the Emperor. The last of the Luna Wolf. You were the best!
I only read the first 10 books of the Horus Heresy... so I got to see Garvy's start... you have no idea how much it pissed me off to hear that he died like that. I'm sitting at a concert and I'm still thinking about it.
I don't know how much depth there is, but another video on planet 6319 and their Emperor of mankind? Who was he, what was their "imperium" and "imperial truth". How much of a badass was there Emperor? Thanks.
Since you mentioned Garviel's remembrancer friends; Ignace Karkasy, Euphrati Keeler and Mersadie Oliton, could you talk about their roles as remembrancers and in the story?
Just started reading Hours Herasy. I knew a little bit of the lore already what i didn't know was that Abbadon was a Luna Wolf. It makes sense in retrospect now that i think about it though.
"Getting mortally wounded and turbo-nuked is just a mild inconvenience". Well, yeah. Plot Armor is the special power that Horus passed down to his gene sons.

Ooh…
Man… Majorkill..
Looking a little soft in the midsection.
Might wanna clean that up a little..
You will never be as good as Weshammer. You should reiterate this to him with another apology
The ''Reasons why to hate Erebus'' list is getting larger every day.
Aye...mf just made it more personal.
Honestly the biggest reason 40k will never get a movie or tv series. No actor would ever want to play Erebus and be hated by the world forever and for all time lol
@@Arcangel61286 well, thats stupidity of people. As we know, actors are not their Characters.
Good actors for good villains are hard to find.
Why is he not a demon prince? He has done so much for chaos.
I’d take the hit and play Erebus. It’s a good trade to give the 40k fans the movie universe they deserve.
Erebus just needs to die the most humiliating Death in existence. Like being killed by some random Guardsmen.
Not even that hes killed by a child after a failed chaos invasion. That would be fitting a dirty frail boy that worships the Emperor.
"Boy" from TTS should be the one to end Erebus.
I vote for tripping and accidentally killing himself with his own weapon.
Nah, nurgling.
Death by squig or ratling sniper
Garviel is the space marine I’d most like to hangout with. He’s a bro through and through and quite level headed.
I think Loken would be a fantastic person to spend a day Or two with but you can't deny the fact that Tarik Torgaddon is the ultimate drinking buddy.
All fun and games until he starts calling himself Cerberus
I'm a Dark Angels fan through and through but Loken is a solid bro to hang out with. I personally want to hang out with Chief Librarian Ezekiel. I'd love to see how he interacts with the Lion.
@@GoatyBoatyBH414Tarik is best battlebro.
Loken and Garro would be the greatest wingmen ever

So, he decided that if literally every other astartes was dead or a traitor, he would go on fighting till his last breath as the last loyalist, the guard dog of Hell itself, Cerberus.

What a G. Didn't get corrupted by his primarch
Genuinely my favorite Space Marine. Absolute legend
Same! He was such a chad!
Me too. Most favourite space marine. Against all the odds, stayed true all the way through.
The Luna Wolves went down swinging against Horus and his Black Legion.

Tied with GARRO
Lol the Horace heresy. I'm not a language guy but I always thought using Horace instead of Horus was funny.
Sons of Horace... We got Burt, Elmer, bill and Percy.😂
Dependable old Garvy, so straight up and down. Rest well, you magnificent bastard
Rest? Even in death duty doesn't end. His soul belongs to the Emperor .
No. His soul became Samus
@@christiandauz3742 is that canon?
@@080ization nope

Loken dying this way is pure 40K loss/pain. Sucks but that's kind of the signature move lol.
I was never a Son of Horus. I was and remain a Luna Wolf. A proud son of Cthonia, a loyal servant of the Emperor, beloved by all.
thx for likes
Erebus stabbing Loken in the back is the most Erebus thing he could have done. I actually dig the Samus tie in.
R.I.P. Garvi... That was just so sudden. The fallen shall forever be remembered as the Emperor's finest.
Remember when, in the first three HH books, Mersadie Oliton was always 'miring Loken and taking pictures of his Muscular, Sweaty, Astartes physique?

Damn, dirty remembrancers..
The remeberancers were genuinely a good part of the early Heresy novels tbh
"tick tock looking like a brink truck"
tick tock heavy like a brinks truck
Wow that was gay as fuck
You good? Lmao.
Erebus finally dying will be the biggest pay off to the fandom.
I just finished The End and the Death, and I was devastated by Garvi's ending. That whole book was a glass box of emotion
No one is truly dead in Warhammer 40k. Loken is alive and in the city of dust, and with the King in Yellow.
What a legendary character. He will always be top tier in my opinion
Garviel Loken reminds me of what Joe Kubert had said about his character "Sergeant Rock".
He saw him as linked to the second world war.
"He was born with the opening shots of WWII and dies of the last bullet fired on the last day of the war."
One more time for the people in the back. "FUCK EREBUS!!!"

Do Alpha Legion lore drunk Majorkill!
even the liver of a space wolf would have trouble doing that.
The Alpha Legion would DELETE Majorkill before he could even utter a single syllable on the subject.
"I was there..."
My ideal home-brew chapter is a lunar wulf chapter under the guise of an ultramarine successor. I love the idea of loyal lunar wulfs conducting a shadow crusade to right the wrongs of their traitorous father and brothers. To hunt down the despoiler and end him
Garviel Loken is awesome and a great characters. Huge fan of his
I feel like Dan did it just to add more hate into Erebus.
It’s the right thing to do
Erebus's death book keeps getting more and more fans... If it ever is made.
First books I got into were the first 3 HH books and then Know No Fear, what an incredible introduction to the universe lol
His story wrap up in the last book had me messed up for days. The writing in the Horus Heresy and Siege of Terra is beyond superlative. "Look out! Samus is here."
garviel is hands down my favourite space marine across all the lore, the sole reason i ever got so invested into the heresy series is his storyline
Garviel was the first character i really liked when starting Warhammer it's an easy character too root for!!
Anything with Garviel Loken gets an instant thumbs up.
Garviel Loken was my first introduction to 40k and he's definitely my favorite character
Keep uploading m8 love your stuff
GW has to do a hunt for Erebus series. I'm serious this needs to happen. Either Grey Knights or the sisters, or both but we need to see him hunted
Can you imagine:
instead of staying behind on the Vengeful Spirit and getting his ass handed to him by Erebus of all people, he gives a few seconds to look at Horus' body with empathy before teleporting back to Terra.
In short, what if Loken survived the Heresy?
imo, if he survived, Other than being one of the founding members of the Grey Knights, we'd have Luna Wolves successor chapters in the current setting, although disguised as "Ultramarine" successors
Come on boys let’s give it a minimum of 20K likes. It’s only been 30 seconds. I know we can do it before we hit an hour.
Love the background music, the Gael is such a great piece
I keep seeing this title and thinking:
'FLASH!!! AHAAHH! He saved every one of us!!!'
A video of the top ten community made wholesome moments would be great
As someone who just started horus rising, i loved this
He is by far my favorite character, in general too not just outta the Space Marines. The Heresy series was my introduction to Warhammer so that's probably a big part of it but yeah I felt he was very relatable which turned out to be pretty rare for Space Marine characters.
0:02 It's definetly Erebus. We love Erebus
40K is all about who's the biggest a**hole, so Erebus it must be 😂
This comment is detestable, impure, disgusting, repulsive, repugnant, heretical, demonic, infuriating, and hilarious.
Erebus killing him felt tacked on and messed with the flow of the story, which was great. I’m tired of Erebus, he isn’t even a good character yet the writers treat him like the golden goose when at most he’s bronze.
I know I ordered it the day you revealed it. But my BIG E just made it here. And I'm already freaking pumped! Thanks Majorkill
Happy Valentine to everyone
Loken = my favorite 40k Character with Garro as a close second.
Loken: I was there when Horus slew the emperor.

Fuck erebus

Hell yes but fuck erebus😢
You and Brother Jones the fellow estardes meme lord, keep 40k fun for me

the universe : how much do you hate Erebus ?
me : yes
But it is possible Loken is not dead; as the Emperor states, we will see you again to Horus

I do love that the epic battle between Horus and the Emperor came down to a Yugi-oh fight.

I waited until I finished Galaxy in Flames before I watched this video. Glad I finally made it
Video idea: Would Horus heresy changed if the loyal space marines in HR had a mind set of the space marines in 40k?
Let’s go been waiting for a new vid to drop
I think a really cool detail to add in future Erebus stories is that Erebus never wants to be alone with Abaddon. He's willing to work with him during a black crusade but he knows that Abaddon thinks he killed Gaviel.
Thanks Manscaped
i´m about 10 books deep into the heresy and liked Loken the most so far.
First three books have been awesome !
rereading the Heresy, and Loken is way more endearing than I remember
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
The only real mistake the emperor made was thinking the primach would be like space marines he didn’t put enough time raising them and assuring loyalty

Oh wait, on PC still sounding too tinny :(
I will watch this video once ive finished reading those books, I've only just finished Horus Rising
“Emperor’s Children wanker Lucious” no idea why that sentence made me piss myself
I didn’t know he was chill like that
Finally I've been waiting
Loken is my favourite character in this franchise.
I’ve never knew about the Erebus end! I align with grey knights for my hated of demons and traitors.
Nobody talks about it but I think the best thing we got out of the Heresy was Abaddon growing as a character more than just a Saturday morning cartoon villain.
Video idea: What faction would you add to 40k? Me personally I’d add the Dark Mechanicum as a full faction.

Right off the bat, big Bobby G.
I teared up hard when Loken waited with Horus's dead body because he thought he shouldnt be alone.

I only read the first 10 books of the Horus Heresy... so I got to see Garvy's start... you have no idea how much it pissed me off to hear that he died like that. I'm sitting at a concert and I'm still thinking about it.
Day 32 of asking for a dedicated series of videos detailing in depth the Lion El'Heresy
I don't know how much depth there is, but another video on planet 6319 and their Emperor of mankind? Who was he, what was their "imperium" and "imperial truth". How much of a badass was there Emperor? Thanks.
Since you mentioned Garviel's remembrancer friends; Ignace Karkasy, Euphrati Keeler and Mersadie Oliton, could you talk about their roles as remembrancers and in the story?
I was just reading how Abbadon kneer him in the stomach then punching him through a wall 😂😂, loken is a really nice punching bag for a story
Great, now I'll have to wait 2 years te watch Weshammer talk about Loken.

Don a custodian helmet and pose daddy
Just started reading Hours Herasy. I knew a little bit of the lore already what i didn't know was that Abbadon was a Luna Wolf. It makes sense in retrospect now that i think about it though.
