you're doing a good job for being the 'youngest" of the 40k lore channels, keep up the good work.
I'm the precocious try-hard kid, clearly. Thanks for the comment!
Now he's the top.
@@Howl-Runner underappreciated.
Is it sad that when he said a "moment of laxity" I shouted leads to a lifetime of heresy.
I did the same, my Brother.
I think it would be fitting that the next Legion be the Iron Warriors. Excellent work as always, man.
Are you Corvidae?
Perhaps.
@@OculusImperia Speaking of Corvidae, why don't we still have a chronicle on The Thousand Sons?
I really like how you speak like you just came back from the 40k universe keep up the great work
what do you mean, he's still there ;)
TIL: Dorn had the freaking Phalanx BEFORE meeting with Emps?!
Yeah. That must've made quite the impression.
Listened to this while painting my latest additions to my Defenders of the Throne World army (Fists and Custodes), your voice and attention to detail are immense, and I love your videos - and appearances in emperors text to speech. Thank you for the hard work Oculus!
Five Iron Warriors disliked this.
Iron Warriors: *I DEMAND TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY!!!*
Imperial Fist: No...
Iron Warrior: This... This is exactly why we betrayed the Imperium!
Imperial Fist: You smell of dirt and entitlement
Iron Warrior: I am very bitter and you are the reason
Imperial Fist: I know... And I don't care...
@Jack Hubbard siege
One of my favorite legions which spawned my favorite legion! (The Black Templars)
Like every single thing you do, I absolutely love it!
That means so much, thanks dude!
Oculus Imperia You're very welcome! ♥
Black Templars are awesome.
TIME FOR AN IMPERIAL FISTING
Ooh hello sailor, sounds like fun :-P
The *Crimson* fists
"They are my bulwark against the Terror" - most likely refer to the VII specifically
Rogal Dorn...the quintessential combat engineer
Perfectly narrated, as usual. Thanks!
Thank you!
Can't wait to see one of these for The Emperor's Children and The Dark Angels.
I'm hoping for the word barriers.
This was actually my first video on your channel, and the intro alone had already sold me. Great job, man. Ten times more enjoyable than other lore channels like OMS.
Why would you hate like that? You should leave that out next time. THE WARHAMMER community is totally opposite of what your doing. We don't condone or accept anything hateful or mean. You are not one of the emperor's sons. Probably nurgel, I can smell your ugliness through the phone.
@@ToneWoN >claims to speak for the warhammer community
>Can't even spell nurgle right
Nice try lmao who tf responds to a comment 5 years later do you have nothing better to do?
Oh man, I really think I have to read on the Horus Heresy books. I stopped somewhere at the 8th book or something years ago. Now I want to experience this Lunar Wolves (Sons of Horus) vs. Imperial Fists battle. Great video again, with just the right atmosphere. Thanks a lot!
As always, brilliant work. Superbly well-written, read and researched - nobody else presents their work in-character like this, but it works very well - it's very immersive. I can't wait to see the next one!
I approve of this , astonishing work oculus imperia
Haha I'm honoured to see my contemptors in Jon laws photo on your video. Love these keep them up!
Oh man those are yours??
There from ages back, feel free to use any of my minis in your vids matey. I've only just found our channel and really enjoying them. The iron warriors vid was amazing and spot on
Great video.
Looking forward to a Thousand Sons video. Imo, they have the best story since they have something rather rare in the 41st millenium: Character Development.
What's your favourite 1st founding chapter?
If I revealHYDRADOMINATUS that particHYDRADOMINATUSular piece of HYDRADOMINATUS information I mayHYDRADOMINATUS be accuHYDRADOMINATUSsed of favouritism when the time comes...
BLOOD FOR THE PRIMARCH!!! SKULLS FOR THE XII LEGION!!!!!!!
Another beautifully made video, once you've finished the video on legion structure I'd like to cast a vote for the Sons of Caliban. Keep up the excellent work!
I'll be doing the First as soon as Forge World releases Angelus!
Awesome! Looking forward to it.
One of the most eloquent lore videos I've come across. Marvellous
binge listening to these all in a random order gives the impression that the narrator just hasnt had his coffee for this one
Well done and well narrated. Look forward to your telling of the other Legions as well as the Heresy.
Absolutely fantastic, well done sir
Best lore channel on UA-cam - thanks!!
That means the world, thank you!
Great lore video! Love your work!
Great lore video, I love your work!
Great work as usual! I'm always getting realy exited when I see a new video from you. Realy made my day, thanks!
New videos starting from this week!
Amazing vids bro! Your voice and tempo of your reading gives a gravitas to the telling of the story. Can’t wait til you do Death Guard and Mechanicum! Keep up the terrific work!
Scripts for both are done :) And thank you very much for the kind words.
Your videos are sublime. Elevated beyond simple youtube data. The Emperor Protects.
Great work... really enjoy your stuff
These are awesome. Can't wait for you to cover the Grey Knights.
Awesome! Very nicely done. Great detail and nice wording!
i could listen to you read the phone book sir your voice is amazing
I'm available for requests.
Your lore videos are incredible!
Thank you :)
Oculus Imperia you are most welcome! Emporers Children next please. 😊
This was the first Warhammer lore video I ever watched,
And it is still my favorite
This was awesome, thank you!
Just getting into 40k and your videos are a huge help!
Impeccable Narrations Sir.
Always liked Rogal.
Great job!
Really grate work, I'm looking forward to your take on the First Legion.
I'll have to wait until Forge World published Angelus for that one, but it will happen as soon as possible!
Very well done
Excellent work thus far. Would you be willing to do a lore video of the 1st Legion?
Awesome channel. Will listen again about my best legion
Thanks, and welcome aboard!
I love how you narrate as an imperial historian. Well done.
So these guys are the WHFB dwarfs of 40k in astartes form
They both like their big, big walls.
Were going to build a wall and make the filthy xenos pay for it
Such great content!
My second favourite Legion. :D
top kek
Mine too lmao.
Roboute Guilliman Oh Alpharius! You silly Primarch.
Abenddammerung I'm not Alpharius! He is the imposter!
The background chanting is entrancing
Keep up the good work!!!
Thank you!
Please, the music track. What song/hymn is this?! I must know! I can hear it echoing through the Phalanx!!
It's Pavle Aksentijevic, I think it's off the album 'Antologija srpske duhovne muzike'
ua-cam.com/video/EEueSZk_g6k/v-deo.html here
@Oculus Imperia - your work is excellent and I love the style in which you narrate it. Could you please do videos on the White Scars or either of the Angels Legions? Thanks.
You just had to pick the three I can't do right now :(
Remember the Iron Cage!!!
The VII sure does...
Perturabo to Dorn: Dare to attack me in my new deamonic fortress of perpetual pain!! Even i dont know how to get inside this one.
-Perturabo challenging Dorn for a rematch in the planet Sebastus IV.
@@respnocza6953 And that's the only time the Iron Warrior ever saw their Primarch smiled..
@@e21big Perturabo: Come and "Fist" me Rogal hehehe.
@@respnocza6953 "Come at me bro"
What music was used for this glorious history of my beloved legion?
The IF and their successors are bar none my favorite loyalists.
Exellent portrayal of dorn
Brilliant.
Perfect.
Damn I wish I could paint with yellow. They are great.
Airbrushes are a friend to yellow paint, I believe. Personally, I'm with you. Too terrified to attempt.
Can’t wait for your videos on the blood angels, also; do you play heresy? Always nice to find another Irish player
Thanks man! I do indeed play 30k. It's currently the only operational army I have haha
Rogal Dorn would be very proud
Nice..curiously..why did your voice change around 6:38?
Sounded almost like he caught a cold
I genuinely don't know. Two separate recording sessions led to two different sounding voice tracks. Will endeavour to make sure it won't happen again.
I have no idea why that happened. Had to just roll with it to get the video out on time. Apologies for the mess.
Imagine if, by some miracle, Iron Warriors remained loyal.
Imperial Palace would have been impenetrable.
They were the only ones in the Galaxy that could do it. If the IW and IF were both loyal the Imperium would be unstoppable and unbreakable.
Oculus what army do you play for 30K?
My boys, hell yeah!
There is no Legion better to serve as the Defenders of Holy Terra.
Great work, your format and voice work are great. Sometimes your pronunciation is a bit off. Pall, in the context you have used it, is pronounced like Paul, and there have been a few other misstakes in previous vids. Other than that, Black Library should hire you for their audiobooks.
11:01 WAIT how did I miss the use of the word "jived" the other times I watched this!?!?!
You should be a guest on if the Emperor had a tts
Why would the emperor have tits?
please do a thousand sons legion video and an imperial knights video!!! also a video on each of the major titan legions would be amazing!!!!
All are planned in the near future!
Awesome thank you! I love the titan legions and would like to see videos highlighting the individual legions. Also thank you for your response
No problem, thank YOU for the support. The Legio Gryphonicu and the Legio Fureans will be up first, very shortly.
Inwit as a planet sound so much like the pronunciation of the Inuit people from Alaska, Canada, Greenland and Russia.
*Siege vs Fortify intensifies*
Do you think the Chaos gods had any control over-where they scattered the primarks to? if so sending Dorm to a society which would further his no-noncence attitude and with one of the galexys biggest starships seems like an epic fail.
They also failed with Jaghatai and Fulgrim because Ceogorach swapped their worlds.
What of the Alpha Legion...? I would greatly enjoy speculating on it's murky origin & history!!! Also, the Thousand Sons & the Blood Angels.....
The script for the XX Legion is done.
Or is it?
@@OculusImperia lol
Fists FTW
Shouldn't there just by chance be one primarch that grew up on a planet with democracy and human rights?
Roboute Guilliman, if you were still wondering
10:48 did any of the Primarchs have a named (or referenced) mother?
Female rulers and Matriarchies are rare in recorded human history, but not that rare.
Does anyone remember a reference to one, even just to the wives of one of the foster fathers?
The closest I'm coming to is that Russ was cared for by a she wolf.
Robute Guiliman (prolly butchered that) was close with his adopted mother
ua-cam.com/video/EEueSZk_g6k/v-deo.html the song likely used in the background. Very fitting still
I have one single problem with the astartes, the color of their armor, a soldier a professionel soldier will take any advantage that he can get and that includes the color of his uniform, painting your uniform yellow makes no sense to me because it is not an advantage and it bothers me when it comes to the astartes because I believe they would paint their armor depending on the envioronment they are figthing in.
generally marines don't do stealth, they are shock and awe close combat machines.
You can be just as effectively with a camo pattern painted on your powerarmor.
There is a throwaway line about this in the lore, I believe it was told by a chaplain of the Imperial Fists as well. Essentially, the belief is that wearing such bright and luminous heraldry not only makes you stand out on the battlefield to inspire your allies, but also strike fear into the enemy: only cowards attempt to mask their presence to protect themselves. The Imperial Fists show no fear, telling their adversaries that their faith is so strong that they essentially don't care about camouflage. Essentially, it's the Astartes way of saying "COME AT ME, BRO" without actually saying it.
However there is one chapter that makes use of stealth and camouflage, called the Raptors.
Well Kim, its not that odd.. The idea of camouflage uniforms is quite recent, just look at any historical army from 1900 and back.
Kudos, I just found your videos, I love your narration and the dark tone. I love WH40k lore, but I was getting a little sick of Arch WH's snarky jokey glib approach.
Thanks so much! Delighted to have you aboard :) Hope you'll subscribe and stick around.
I hate the fists....but great video man as always.
Glenn Newman Why do you hate them? Is it about the yellow?
I think its a mix or the following. The yellow, the whole "last wall" thing and the way rogal dorn is portrayed in "Fulgrim"
It's been a while since I read it, but is Rogal Dorn even in Fulgrim?
HOLY SHIT I JUST REALIZED IT WAS FERUS MANUS.
Yeah that's what I thought you meant, and temperament wise Ferrus Manus is quite different than Rogal Dorn.
Iron > Stone
Dorn was one of the best military minds, but Guilliman is still better, not by much. Guilliman was better in overall understanding the Imperium and its people. Guilliman may hate the Imperial Creed and he and his fathers deification. But could still work around it and begin the long struggle of restoring the Imperium to what it could be. Dorn could not do such a thing and never could understand the necessities of the now in order to get a better tomorrow. Meaning Guilliman tolerates the Imperial Cult for now, Dorn would not and could not tolerate such a thing. Making Guilliman a better overall leader, which is why people are pretty sure now the Lion is the next to come back. Since the Lion was probably the best military commander the Imperium had. Guilliman has even said that before. But the Lion is not a ruler or administrator that Guilliman is, so their skills complement each other. Though they may in private verbally fight each other, I still think they could keep their disagreements from harming what both need to do.
