    For people who are curious about the post-Gathering Storm lore regarding Huron Blackheart:
    he's basically a better Failbaddon. One of Blackheart's lieutenants attempted to usurp him by stealing Macragge's Honour right out from under the Ultramarines, which Blackheart took one look at, realized that's WAY too big a target (especially since Guilliman's back) for him to have, and tricked his cocky renegade marine lieutenant into losing it to the Ultramarines... all to use as a distraction while the Red Corsairs savaged the White Scars' homeworld of Chogoris.
    Oh, and he's keeping the blackstone fortress Abaddon gave him.

    I like to believe that Huron, with as much time as he'd spent in the Maelstrom, was exposed to Corruption, but held on by his clearly strong will and personal strength.
    That it was only in his moment of weakness- critically, mortally wounded by that melta shot and then being flown by his last, desperate soldiery into the Maelstrom as a last-ditch escape- that he could no longer resist the red calling. Their collective desperation and pain in brutal and unnecessary defeat led to their final transgression, and it was then that they actually become unsalvagable.

      Given the shit fest Imperium is on, two chaos empires might be too much to handle given other enemies they have, so i much rather see Huron smacking the Tau around well as Nids in his own way, well as maybe wrecking havoc on orks and abys boys so Imperium would have some breathing room to deal myriad of dumpster fires all over the place. Huron might be traitor and chaos worshipper, but he still did everything for the imperium. That does not mean he likes xenos, or chaos forces. I would love to see his way of dealing even a splinter fleet of nids, since those are pretty much biggest treat in the galaxy at the moment, followed by Necrons and orks.

    Huron Blackheart, a true loyalist turned treacherous pirate. The only reason he's viewed as the rightful Warmaster is because he is not given enough attention to ruin like Abbadon, and has the capacity to not throw away an irreplaceable Blackstone Fortress, unlike Abbadon.
    Except here's the thing. Horus couldn't fully control the traitors, Abbadon couldn't fully control the traitors. How could a pirate who's not even fully loyal to Chaos have even the faintest chance of controlling any warband? Just because he has a Blackstone Fortress doesn't mean he's any good as a potential warmaster. Chaos chose Abbadon for Warmaster, not Blackheart, so he'll never be one so long as Chaos prefers their own chosen Warmaster.
    Regardless, this video is as great as an Arch lore video should be. Opinions are only just opinions, and nothing compared to the badassery that is Huron's lore. This is Blackheart, and he is here to stay, regardless of what Abbadon would say about it.

    Huron is certainly a very interesting candidate for a redemption arc. But only once he reaches new peaks of power and is finally burnt by the Ruinous powers too; it's almost poetic that Huron cannot be allowed to be too powerful or he may rival Abaddon.
    He was once a reasonable man, I wonder if Just cause could tempt him ever again? Ignoring the new lore, if Gorillaman ever did return I wonder if he could bring Huron back into the fold? Though at the same time I doubt if Huron could ever exist under the eyes of the Inquisition and the Codex.

    I remember a story from an old GW magazine about a spy who infiltrated the Red Corsair’s. He is ultimately found out and Blackheart promises to make him “a hero to be proud of.” It ends with him waking up to find himself in total darkness, he can’t move but can feel cables going in and out of his body. He’s left to wonder of Blackheart had him entombed and launched into space, or put him in a chaos dreadnought.,

    I find it interesting how well Huron matches in his experiences with a certain daemon primarch with "Iron" in his moniker... I wouldn't be exactly surprised (well, I mean if they bother to pay attention to details such as this...) if the Lord of Iron even paid personal interest to what Blackheart and his merry men are doing, he after all is the only one of the still "living" fallen broothers who bought his daemonhood, the others gained theirs either by service or deceit. And Huron is, all through his tragic background all the way to his utilitarian approach to the Chaos powers, a very clear successor.

    So unless you have a source other than Blood Reaver the Night Lords involvement wasnt quite right.
    They were hired to destroy the fortress’s power generators leaving it defenseless to an assault by huron’s primary fleet and Astartes elements.
    Once the power was down and Huron committed, that’s when the Night Lords fled the surface and stole the Echo of Damnation, which was a battle barge not a strike cruiser. Black heart and the corsairs should have still claimed the lion’s share of the geneseed minus whatever the Ech’s vaults might have held. The theft of the Echo occurred before Huron had claimed the gene vaults.

    I may be taking some inspiration from a movie about a certain Panda, but I have this mental picture of Huron, his Corsairs brought to proper strength once more and with growing power in the Badab sector, ordering the imperial governor, Arbites, or even inquisitor stationed on a newly-conquered brought before him.
    They're dragged in, bruised and bloodied, expecting death, torture, or even worse, only to be told to stand before the former tyrant, while he informs them of their fate...
    That they are to be sent strait back into imperial space on a small ship with no fear of molestation by him, his corsairs, their allies, or any subjects.
    Why?
    "Simple." He replies, "I want you to pass along a message that we'll be heard by the High Lords, and especially the Inquisitors and the various chapters numbered amongst the emperor's finest." His grin is like that of a famished wolf eyeing a warm carcass.
    "Tell them I'm coming. Tell them my brothers are coming, and nothing, not the imperial slave armies, not the babblers among the ecclesiarchy or scribblers of the administratum, the lunatics of the mad dogs of the inquisition, or the vaunted champions of the astartes...none of them will stop us."
    "Tell them Terra will burn for what it has done to us."
    "And tell them to pass along a special message for inquisitor Frayne and Culln."
    I'm coming for them. I'm going to find both of them, and before their time is over, they will know the horror of seeing everything they built and defended burned to the ground before their eyes. Their ears will hear the wails of those who trusted them. They will know what they unleashed on my brothers, and only then, after they are made to scream for death will I grant them such release.
    Now get to your ship. You have a long flight.

    Was really fun following Luft Huron's story from Badab to now. Sad to see them utilize any chaotic powers at all. Would have been far more interesting if they remained "pure", while still turning into enemies of the Imperium. I mean, it's just straight bizarre to see them fall like that, after having witnessed the chaotic hulk that only the Lamenters could defeat.

But it always felt less exciting, like a bell curve that just petered out at the end. Vraks had so much back and forth with peaks and troughs in the story of the siege. This video feels like the exciting back half that I feel It was missing. Thanks Arch

    With how the inquisition took one of the most stalwart and brilliant leaders in the battle against chaos and the other ravaging forces within the maelstrom and needlessly turned him into their greatest enemy (though not without his own doing as well), it makes one wonder whether or not a significant percentage of them actually seek to prop up ang propagate the forces of chaos as an eternal outside enemy that they can always be there to defend the flock of mankind from at any cost in power and submission.

      A anti-imperium pro-emperor is extremely hard to pullout, principally for a SM faction. I think the only faction that pulled it out was the Severus Dominate.
      I think a separatist faction that reject the corpse-emperor, but doesn't embrace chaos would be more interesting. Like the old human empires that opposed the crusade.
