That sounds cool, but Leman Russ was literally raised by wolves, wasn't he? And don't forget; he also killed dozens of grown men, warriors, with nothing but his bare hands...and he was just a child.
@@benmciver8824 thats fair. The Lions so interesting cause hes unpredictable. Hes very honorable yet very petty, very chivalrous but also a monster slaying unforgiving barbarian. Thats why i want him to come back next. Hes just super interesting and unpredictable.
Lion was a great Primarch, but his sons, without his guidance, have become so petifull, more worry of their secret than the wellbeing of the Imperium far from what he wanted them to be.
I agree. It's a real shame they are less than a shadow of what they could have been with the Lion's leadership. It's one of the legions that seem to have inherited very little of their primarch's potential. Their current lore is almost comical with how narrow-sighted they have become.
You're right but at the same time that is what make the Dark Angels the Dark Angels. The concept of the Inner Circle, the hunt of the unforgiven, etc is what makes them absolutely different for other more vanilla legios. That is why they're my favourite faction in WH40K and what makes the Lion so interesting with the Lion and then the Dark Angels being a great example of a Knight of Infinite resignation and The Lion being the best example of that.
I believe Merir Astelan was onto something when he said that the Dark Angel's need for secrets stems directly from the Lion himself, from his gene seed directly. This is quite evident in how the Lion wages war against the Khrave, keeping everything a secret, even from his closest advisors. This is why the Fallen are so easily able to manipulate the Dark Angels of the 41st.
The writers of the original 40k lore based the legion on a poem written by English poet lionel johnson; The Dark Angel. Thus his name is a nod to the poet.
7:55 *spoiler alert: Ironically, Nemiel toke part in an assassination attempt on the Emperor when he first arrived on Caliban but ended his live loyal, his cousin who prevented said attempt however...
No, Nemiel wasn't involved in an Assassination Attempt on The Emperor. He was talking about being resentful towards the Imperium with some Old Calibanite Knights, but he sincerely believed they were just venting and not going to actually do anything.
Small note, the dark angels did not semi-divide into battle companies, they were bellicosa adherent, so it was not the captains he dueled, but the officers and praetors in a much broader sense Otherwise, better than most friend Better than most
I think about it from time to time. But if Lionel was named war master and assuming he took the same story/path of Horus. The imperium would have been destroyed with Lionel at the head lol
Nice little touch that the Knights of Lupus were the only ones to not join him. The Lion's greatest rivals were the fake one he had with Russ, and the very real one with Horus; both wolf-lords.
I love your videos a lot, and your choice of music is immaculate! Can you tell me what the song playing in the outro is? It would be a great aid to my mind when I paint my next Space Marine army :D
I know this is really late, but it's from Dawn of War, called "Chant" (if you look up Dawn of War Chant there are a couple of variants of it on UA-cam).
@@TheGhjgjgjgjgjg Luther you say? The Ordo Hereticus and it’s chamber militant would like to have a nice little chat about his character, you wouldn’t lie to the inquisition would you? ;)
Considering how much language in the real world has evolved and drifted across history, it doesn't seem too far-fetched that in 20,000+ years of interstellar human diaspora it could happen. Admittedly, it does still come off as a bit goofy to present-day Westerners.
@drgonzo305 It's not. His first name is "Lion". His surname is El'Jonson. It's logical to assume that "El'" is a possessive indicator like "of" or "from". Assume then that "son" means, well, son, it's not a stretch to assume it's "Jon" that translates to "forest" or "woods" or something. So it basically reads as "Lion, of Forest: Son". Name, possessive, location/family, position. Sounds very "knightly". Like "DrGonzo El'UA-camcommenter".
The more primmarch lore i learn the more i m like, damn they did my boy angron for real would ve been sooo easy to have him pldege loyalty sooo easy, if he just saved is brothers of the srena to hahah bu not let s traunatize the fuck out of my child i guess
Sanguinius was a hero to be loved and looked up to, but he was not a general, at least not by primarch standards. He was a duelist and an icon, but not a commander like the Lion or Perturabo.
FOR THE LION!!!!
Indeed brother
No relent, ave leonis.
Russ is a man pretending to be a beast. The Lion is a beast pretending to be a man.
That sounds cool, but Leman Russ was literally raised by wolves, wasn't he? And don't forget; he also killed dozens of grown men, warriors, with nothing but his bare hands...and he was just a child.

@@rjg27 Yeah well a lion beats a wolf in my estimation but doesn't dismiss the fact that both are beasts in their own right

With the recently return of the Lion El'Johnson, I'm glad I found this channel so I can know more about The Lion and Dark Angels. Thank you 💚
If you know anything about the Dark Angels, then you know too much.

Somebody in The Lion's past teased him so hard about being named Lionel that he broke the name up and made a backstory for it.
The writers of the original 40k lore based the legion on a poem written by English poet lionel johnson; The Dark Angel. Thus his name is a nod to the poet.
Such a great character; he just pops off the page any time he shows up in a story!
Loyalty is its own reward! For the Lion and the Rock! Caliban remembers!
Lion proving his human heritage by driving species to extinction.

The Universe loves irony.
What's ironic is...the planet Fulgrim landed on was called Chemos, and his sons were stricken with astarte grade cancer...;)
No, Nemiel wasn't involved in an Assassination Attempt on The Emperor. He was talking about being resentful towards the Imperium with some Old Calibanite Knights, but he sincerely believed they were just venting and not going to actually do anything.
Me: My PRIMARCH has RETURNED.......
Other Legions: Your legion were saved by The Ultramarines.
The Lion: THE WHAT!!!????
From Dark Soul to Star Wars...
what an epic journey.
Primarchs considered for the title of war master. I’m pretty sure Sanguinius was in the running also but passed it up.
I’m glad my favorite primarch is coming back soon!!!
Hes back! ✊🏻
The Lion is my favorite Primarch!! Thank you so much for doing this! FOR THE LION!!
The Lion returns.
Loyalty is its own rewards, for the Lion and for the First!
Absolutely incredible story telling as always!
Great way to start with the Lion!!!! Amazing video keep up the work!!
Small note, the dark angels did not semi-divide into battle companies, they were bellicosa adherent, so it was not the captains he dueled, but the officers and praetors in a much broader sense
Otherwise, better than most friend
Better than most
Praise the Omnissiah's almight algorithm! Just earned yourself a subscriber.
Right off the bat, his sons in their golden days.
Incredible , just keeps getting better and better !
I'm here because it was revealed that the lion was returning, I wanted his backstory.
The Lion has Returned!
One of my favorite primarch, noice.
This is some great telling of Warhammer lore. I'm glad I found this!
Loyalty is its own rewards Brothers !

So well done. Great job.
Let's go. Excellent vid. Keep it up 👍👍
Keep up the great work brother! 💪

First time for me watching something from the Remembrancer.
Great video, i love the lion and await his return. I may even build a DA force if the Lion returned.
I just subscribed so keep up the great work.
The lion is back baybee
Super stuff buddy keep em coming👍
Is that the main theme of the Space Marine video-game I hear in the back?
KEEP GOING!! THIS IS AMAZING!!!
Make a 2 to 3 hour long lore video about Lion El Johnson
The story of the Primarchs is indeed a sad one.
He's back!
So, when do we get an update on Lion now that he finally is awake?
Sanguinius was also contender for Warmaster...
A lot of things could've gone differently pre-heresy.
Great video man like usual . ( im not leaving the same comment bc im bored to write something my comments are similar only bc you re that good )
Well done! Great work
Chaplain Namiel was decapitated by the lion’s fist. True story lol.
He shall return, and He shall reform His legion.
Ave leonis deus et imperium vult dominotos.
Also dose anyone want to see a child and curious version of the lion?
I love your videos a lot, and your choice of music is immaculate! Can you tell me what the song playing in the outro is? It would be a great aid to my mind when I paint my next Space Marine army :D

@@kingleech16 Never too late! I haven't found the song myself and have kind of given up. You really made my day! :)
Sounds to me like the lion blamed friends for actions of his enemies and created his own downfall.
Guys I found Luther!

Idk man, seems like a fallen to me.
Let's see if we see some tech from old night now the Lion has returned. Maybe we might see some secrets he kept for the imperium.
BRING BACK THE LION !!! We have too many Demon Primarchs!!!
can't wait to see the Khan's
Dope Channel name
Going through your works now. Subscribes and enjoying, thx.
Bring on the lion 🦁
This account saddens me greatly.
Lion is a Space Knight
What a great voice!
Guilliman was always the best. not my fav, but the best.
Bro sounds like Jango Fett
Would really like to read this story. What books we’re referenced for the creation of this tale?
For me
3:24
whats the music name?
I wonder how “Johnson” came to be calliban for “Forest”
Be right back, imma go take a leak in the johnson

he is coming back
Read "Descent of Angels" for ultimate Lion lore

'Only other son worthy?' - coughs in blood angel
Sanguinius was a hero to be loved and looked up to, but he was not a general, at least not by primarch standards. He was a duelist and an icon, but not a commander like the Lion or Perturabo.
Were you trying to write "First Angel of Death" in the video title? If so, it should be "Primus Angelus Mortis" - "Primaris" doesn't make sense here
What's the name of that heretic dude that's the best swordsman ?? Can anyone help. I think he's emperors chosen or sons or whatever they called lol
Lucius the eternal
🦁🦁
I thought the lion was last in the warp?
Proper Planning Prevents Poor execution
Lion would be more better to be named war master
for the algo
Rhythms for the Algo Throne!
pfffft...... Templar Tarzan.
Space Tarzan basically.
✌️💚
Long live Luther!!!
Enjoyed the vid. Going to nitpick. Luther was NOT an Astartes or the "first" to be elevated... and there is nothing saying the Lion is in stasis
up
but the luther has escaped.....
How does a 10 year old primarch lose to a bunch of base line humans?
he is not used to fighting smart opponents
So why did Mr. Warcrime here get to return before any of the actual you know, interesting primarchs?
ah yes the most boring of Primarchs. His entire character is SPACE KNIGHT!? Nothing wrong with that but they definitely phoned in his character
interesting* nothing boring about it
@@zackaryluquette8378 maybe they will make him more interesting after he wakes up from his nap
@@Slenkamure Hes already interesting, you just have shit taste or are not well red. or dont understand him
