- Hi All Wolf Lord Rho here!
Today Corax week begins! And where better to start, then by discussing the Raven Lords' most defining moment... the drop-site massacre.
Spoiler Warning to begin the events we are discussing today are from the Horus Heresy Novel "The First Heretic" by Aaron Dembski-Bowden. As always I really recommend you read the story for yourself first. As that's the best way to enjoy the lore, for yourself! Not only that we help to support the great Games Workshop and Black Library. Because without them we don't have this amazing lore to talk about! Link: www.blacklibrary.com/the-horu...

Corax was an idealist before the Heresy, he saw himself as a liberator, and fought for a dream of freedom and progress. His 8 brothers betrayal hit him hard, as it was the death of his dream.
Death of his dreams. Death of his hopes. Almost the death of his legion and almost the death of his very self and soul.
@@hammer1349 10,000 years later he is still giving logar a spanking
@@nothuman3083 I like what this implies, that if the traitor primarchs stuck with the emperor they would have eventually gained more power than what the chaos gods were willing to give OR that even as a daemon prince of CHAOS UNDIVIDED lorgar is still the weakest primarch around.
Nevermore...
@@nothuman3083 which novel????
"Lorgar goes to meet his brother face on."
It was in this moment he knew, he fucked up.
Mistake number one
Logar *sees any loyalist brother* Haha im in danger!
Lorgar, out of breath after closing the portal to Corvus: Oh fuck, oh shit, oh god! He's so mad...holy shit.
Lorgar should have hired some Terrata/Enhanced Warriors and empower them even more to attack Warp-Corax
Enhanced Warriors almost killed Corax during the Heresy. If it weren't for one of his Captains disobeying his orders, Corax would have died resulting in the doom of the Imperium
@@christiandauz3742 your speaking of that dude that was literally connected to a warp portal like a power cable.
Yes he was very strong and Corax struggled but he overcame him as well.
The gal vorbak were lorgars elite blessed sons.
And Corax was carving through them and it was why lorgar intervened to attempt to protect his sons.
Lorgar: i fear no man, but that thing
a normal raven: CAW
Lorgar: it scares me
Ravens can also actually learn to speak imagin training ravens to say im coming for you Lorgar and releasing them where he is 🤣🤣🤣
All fear the ravens
@@deback4949 the blood ravens
Consider that even employing a primarch directly in the battlefied, with one of the most mobile legions, he still lost 93.75% of his troops. The situation was so tactically untenable that even a primarch could only save less than 7% of the troops.
They were likely put there on purpose, the same as when Horus demanded the Raven Guard take the brunt of an assault in an earlier battle. Horus wanted to deplete loyalist legions, and Corax never forgave him for sending his legion into the meatgrinder.
@@dac314 I was just thinking about that and how I love how dumb warhammer can be sometimes because like everyone knew that was gonna be a blood bath but they called him a pussy until he went so he did 😂
@@dac314 gate 42 mission
And Corax was there where the battle was the worst for his sons
Imagine thinking you were going to dunk on your unsuspecting poetry-loving brother and break his spirit (and/or his skull), only to have him nearly rip your spine out, ascend to daemonhood without having to sell his soul like you did, and then haunt you and your legion for the next 10000 years, keeping you scared and in hiding as your new gods fail to offer you enough power to face him with any level of confidence. Whoops
Whoopsie
I've said this once, but this really show how hardcore Corvax is and much of a loser Lorgar remain. Think about it. The dude got the official daemon ascension, probable training from the four, a turf to stand on and mold as he wished, his boys and years of experience to go by.
Corvax likely shifted without any warning, had to learn to use his new stuff by himself in constant enemy territory, then, he went by himself, again, against Lorgar 's gang who I assume has experience with daemon stuff. All of them and their boss in familiar terrain...
And Corvax still one-sidedly whooped his ass with no effort on his end. The dude got his ass kicked in his homeland by a dude who just managed to get a grasp on his new powers while outnumbering him. This is embarrassing for him, and pretty impressive for Corvax.
@@blingsing5383 pitch meeting!
I don't think him going all shadow monster is him ascending, I think it's just something that comes natural to primarchs in the warp seeing as they're entity's made of it. I think once back in real space his normal form would become default again. Kinda ironic that all the others traded their souls to achieve something they had within all this time.
@@tastefulavenger hard agree. Im fairly certain that each of the Primarchs is already a warp entity of some level and the shadowmonster is simply the umbral form Corax takes. He is, after all, the Lord of Shadows, the one loyalist Primarch we don't truly know because there is always a greater depth with Corax, there is always a surprise, always something his opponent never expected
I think Corax’s greatest moment is actually right after this when he spends months fighting a guerilla war on Istvaan and then manages to get his legion out of there and flee. The events of Raven’s Flight/Deliverance Lost
Branne got the legion out of there. Without him, the RG would have been annihilated.
Alpha Legion let them escape. And I kinda dislike this decision. It downplays Raven Guard abilities they're best at - asymetrical warfare.
@@Epifairos Istvaan was a locked cage at that point. No one was getting in or out of there. No matter how good the Raven Guard were, they weren't getting out of there without help from the outside. It speaks volumes of their abilities as a Legion to go from getting annihilated from the most sudden and unimaginable betrayal ever to survivng for long enough for help to arrive. They're badass and I love them for it
@@ironduke5058 true enough. Their escape even with the "help" of the Alpha was still far from guaranteed.
@@Epifairos Exactly. Even with help they barely survived. Speaks alot of the Legion
No corax scene is better than him purposely entering the warp while dragging traitors into the warp with him
gives you this "oh fuck, batman's here" feeling.
@@TheRampantLion hahah , so true!
Awesome
What book is that from????
@@LordDreggar I believe it is from Deliverance Lost.
Corvus Corax is my personal favorite Primarch. He always gets back up when knocked down. With a vengeance.
Corvus Corax is basically batman
@@maliceharding4668 for the most part
@@maliceharding4668 batman is kurze, corax is more like ezio auditore.
@@inquisitorkryptman7893 Kurze is more like Flashpoint batman where corax is more like dark knight batmann
But I would say Kurze is more like punisher
Corax is one of my top 3 primarchs. Incredible martial skill, bravery and compassion in equal measures, cool powers and awesome aesthetic, and loyal to the end. What a champion. What a badass. What a good birdboi, even though he is no hawkboi.
Same for me. Vulcan for his bro-character, Viral for pretty much everything he is and Curve for the whole tragedy that is his life.
"I will kill you Lorgar!"
"I know."
If they don't follow up on this I'm gonna lose it.
I believe this is referencing the fact that a Chaos daemon warned Lorgar that if he ever drew his sword against Corax, he'd be slain. Despite the warning, Lorgar went to his brother in order to help his legion and despite the predictions of Chaos, Lorgar lived...for now.
@@erriel3953 Lorgar was like "But I don't use swords. I have a mace."
@@erriel3953 Of course, Corax has already found him in the Warp at least once; that time, Lorgar fled, but I doubt he can run forever before Corax finds him again.
@@smac4310 and that was only due to the intervention of the surrounding word bearers buying lorgar to scant seconds he needed. I can only assume that Corax has learned from that mistake. I kinda hope that Corax finds the temple where the word bearers call home and wreck house, butchering them wholesale. Kor Phaeron and all the others slaughtered without mercy before engaging Lorgar 1v1 at the top of his tower in a true climactic battle as one quest of vengeance comes to an end and many more begin
Corax himself would later say, that his one great regret, was not being able to kill Lorgar here. He even wonders, whether he should have taken the chance against Curze, because as he says; "Horus leads the Legions into Rebelion, but Lorgar is truly the cancer at the heart of this Heresy".
I would think he would have defeated Curze. He didn’t need to “take a chance” with it. Curze knows deep down Corax is his superior reflection
@@lockiet7227 Had he been fresh, not wounded, and with his weapons intact. In a one vs one? You might be right, but Corax was neither, and Curze was all of these. And Corax needed to lead his legion away from the slaughtering ground.
@@Kristian.B.Kristiansen in that scenario I 100% agree with you. But a fresh one on one Corax will overtake Curze. Curze even admitted himself of Corax's superiority
@@lockiet7227 Definitely in stealth and ninja techniques. In a straight fight, I think it could go either way. Corax is great, but no primarch has as long a track record fighting Primarchs as Curze, and he did well often.
Corax thought he could take him in an even fight so, you might be right .
@@lockiet7227 Curze has never stated he being superior in any way other than blending with the darkness better than he. Corax would have been absolutely torn to pieces had he even tried. Leman Russ could smack Corax around like no other and Russ was absolutely under no illusion about who is the better
Everyone's a tough guy until you pick on the quiet kid in class.
The quiet kid is more like Curze
@@bloodangel19 there were at least 3 quiet kids: Lion: lawful quiet. Corvus: true quiet. Conrad: chaotic quiet.
@@bloodangel19 Curze is that kid who isn't quite quiet, but is always talking to someone who doesn't seem to be in the room. Not necessarily himself, but not anyone in particular.
@@yible3278 well said
@@em4rtzz thank you!
Deliverance lost is a criminally underated book.
But it isn't very good... The Corax anthology book is a lot better in my opinion, as Gav Thorpes narrative comes to a great conclusion in Wergeld.
I've read it right after the first HH trilogy. Because Corax. Because Raven Guard. Still I must admit there were better books in the series. And even Corax's books...
Last time I was this early all the primarchs were still loyal
🤣
too soon
reply:dude its been 10,000 years
Nor were the other 2 purged.
lol
Lmfao 👍
As much as I loved kurze and sanguinius week, it's the underrated primarchs who benefit from this series. Angron, perturabo, and jaghati are all some of my favourite primarchs, really thanks to this series.
For a future primarch week, may I suggest mortarion. Another primarch who I don't really know anything about not have any appreciation for yet.
Oh my god yes
Corax getting the recognition from the wolford himself.
Feels so good to hear you being up the big selling points of him.
He looks the most like the Emperor.
His father sees himself in him.
He shared secrets with Corax no one else was privy to of the warp.
Bonus one he asked about his missing brothers because Corax is a genius and figured hes missing two brothers.
The Emperor does not shut him down.
Only telling him that he would tell him at another time.
this!!
Yeah i think he liked this one a lot
I class Corax alongside the Khan as one of the most lethal Primarchs. They’re understated, quiet, and unknowably lethal. Corax doesn’t get the credit he deserves.
I bet Konrad was just watching the whole time and only jumped in when predicted.
He was probably fighting his inner darkness to let logar die but he also probably wanted to kill himself.
Wolf Lord Rho: mixes the World Eaters up with the Alpha Legion.
Me: *shrug* Alpha Legion gonna Alpha Legion.
Of all the Daemon-Princes I'd like to see come to the tabletop, Lorgar is number one. Because you know that if Lorgar returns, the Raven lord will most certainly be returning as well. I would love to see the Inquisitions reaction to Corax as he is now, a being made of living psychic shadow. It would make for some great storytelling.
Thats what scares me. I just love RG too much but I want to be loyalist ... while with the state Corax is in I would expect him and RG to go rogue or something like that ... you know like still working for the benefit of the imperium while being hunted by inquisition and chaos alike. It may be cool, but like I said ... I want them to stay as part of the imperium
@@tyruss2432 you now know the plight of the Dark Angels. We fight for the Emperors Dream, the true Imperium, while the bloated, rotten caricature of it hounds us, sniffing and scratching, eager to cast us as traitors. The Inquisition will never succeed for before their ilk tainted the Imperium, there was us, the Angels of Death, prosecuting the Emperors wrath upon a duplicitous galaxy. By decree of the Emperor of Mankind, we shall know no fear.
Sorry, had to vent after that garbage patrol box announcement.
I honestly know the least about Corax of all the Primarchs so I'm looking forward to this week.
you wont be disappointed
Just finished the corvus corax series on black library. He is a good primarch. His men love him and each other.
Dude same everyone always loves him but I feel like I've seen no content for him
Yes ! I want to know more about Corax and the Raven Guard.
Corax week snuck up on me.
When corax returns, I have a feeling he’ll be struggling to not become konrad. He’s just been through too much crap.
will he? I thought that possible too until I considered that this is precisely what the Emperor built him for. Have you ever noticed how those "over sensitive" types are often able to cope insanely well while everything is on fire, exploding or just generally not good but completely fall apart when the world goes back to normal? I think thats Corax. Mental Health for demi-gods in a nutshell
He’s currently a loyalist demon in the warp right now, he is a literal shroud of shadows hunting down the traitor legions in the warp
@@Macelion I desperately wish we had gotten more about Corax hunting Lorgar and his Legion in the Warp.
@@smac4310 agreed!
@@smac4310 yes please
“Wolf lord rho here!!!!” A great way to start a Monday
To treat Corax as JUST a warrior, or JUST a sneaky sneaky boy undersells his true worth
The Emperor knows his worth
Corax is just a sneaky warrior boy
@@TheNarwhal85 the Ravenlord is more the warrior not Corax
@@codysing1223 corax is the ravenlord
Not necessarily.
Much like konrad with another personality.
Corax becomes the Ravenlord when he becomes enraged.
With the end of the great crusade and the death of his and the Emperors dream for humanity.
Corax fell into a deep depression.
He personally murdered his mutated sons and locked himself away to atone and find forgiveness.
I’m a huge Star Wars fan but 40k might be my soul. The concepts in 40k are so much intriguing, grim of course lol, and intelligent. The level of thoughtfulness it leaves you with is way more than any other universe in my opinion. Cherry on the cake is WOLF LORD RHO!!
Corax Lives
Caw Caw
I love the RG they don't get the love of the other founding legions we need some more Corax and raven guard by the BL maybe by ADB seen as he wrote him well here
So... Is it true ? it is ... Really Truly, True ? Truly ?
Also can we appreciate how terrifying it is to have a Primarch and Astartes that can literally turn invisible.
Envy of his mastery lay behind my hatred. I haunted the Night, but Corax owned it. - Konrad Curze
Thank you so much for this, I have been painting Raven Guard since 2009 and painting black has kept me from finishing my army. Thank you for the motivation to keep going.
One thing I love about corax he thought retirement and what he would do after all the fighting was done.
At the All Father's feet. At the base of the great throne. Are his loyal wolf's , fierce lean hungry. Atop the great seat, perched in the shadows. Are his eyes and ears. Bringing word of deeds brave and true . the mighty
I mean, yes but there were no Space Wolves (not "wolf's", by the way) on Istvaan.
Nice content. Corax is a beast in this scene. But my favorit was the ravens flight. Seeing a god like being shattered like that is what won me over.
The First Heretic is still my #1 HH novel all these years later with The Night Lords Omnibus a close second with a razor thin margin. Once I got to that particular novel in the series, I literally rescheduled appointments at my studio, I couldn't put that book down, the Corax drama was good, but the star of that particular show was Argel Tal and his progression. I loved it
I wish so much that Corax's greatest moments are forthcoming. I would love to see Lorgar return and start some nonsense with Guilleman only to have Corax return from the Eye of Terror to save Big Blue.... And have it happen is such a way that Corax satisfies his need for vengeance and can finally once again return to the Imperium, and his legion.
Killing Lorgar...and you kill the High Priest of Chaos
Killing Lorgar...and you kill the Faith
Killing the Faith...and you create Doubt
Creating doubt...and you give way to guilt
Give way to guilt...and fear will come forth too.
Corax has always been my favorite primarch along with magnus. They are both compelling, but something about the pure wrath in corax’s heart as he’s fighting to save his legion gets me every time
i remember listening to this for the first time with goosebumps the entire time, might actually be my favourite moment of 40k
Could you imagine Corax and the Lion returning together and what an awesome site that would be on the battlefield?
Ha his Dauntless few eh.
"Give me the Lion and the Raven. Us three will wipe the floor with the five of them."
A quote from the Second lost primarch upon hearing of Guilliman's Dauntless Few.
My own head cannon of course.
Na, I would love to see Russ and Corax returning together. The two great hunters returning one with lorgars head the other with magnuses.
But it will never happen I don't think any primarcs can ever die again do to the game and the lore being frosen in time. It's made for us to finish the story.
Just imagine: Magnus finally coaxes Lorgar to get off his ass. With their two legions and them together, they start kicking the crap out of part of the Imperium. They get to either Deliverance or Fenris when out of the Eye of Terror come Space Odin Russ and Raven Demon Corvus. Russ breaks Magnus backwards over his knee for old time’s sake and Corvus shanks Lorgar back into the Warp so he can spend the next 10k years under his bed sucking his thumb again.
Imagine being Lorgar what a waste of life
Erebus: I know right 🤣
In the current state of the Imperium Lorgar was not wrong lol
Also the Emperor literally does everything godly yet telling ppl he ain’t a god (he might as well be). Lorgar wasn’t reaching
Imagine an empire built on the lies of fanatic tyrant.
Then wonder, was he right in creating a god to defeat chaos? Understanding the impact Faith has, was it wrong? Or right?
Lorgar is a trash Primarch but a good, vital character. I like him in a way for that reason. Not all the primarchs can, or should be, near-flawless. But yeah, I'd rather be probably any other primarch lol.
This is all uncalled for
I HEAR RAVENS CAW IN THE DISTANCE!!!
I've mentioned this before but I hope you'll cover the meeting between Corax and Lorgar on the chaos world where Wordbearers built a temple (the short story named "shadows of the past" I think).
With Lorgar dead, it would have had massive effects on the Heresy. It would have meant to surprise attack on Ultramar and thus Ultramarines would have retained a lot more of their strength. Combine that to there not being Ruinstorm, it would have also meant Ultramarines would have been able to reinforce other fronts around the galaxy along with them being able to arrive to defend Terra in the Siege much earlier forcing Horus to retreat and leading to the Emperor surviving. And without Lorgar to ascend Angron into Daemonhood, he would have died to Nails and the World Eaters would probably have shattered.
Corax is a top tier fighter best most relatable primach. With most of your sons gone what you be like. Rage, depression and a fixation on destroying what took your sons from you. Damned or too be damned.
Corax week?! *Happy Raven Noises*
I’d love to hear your thoughts on the audiobook drama, Ravens Flight. The end to that book gave me some of the deepest emotions of the Horus Heresy series!
A true Farther, doing anything to save his beloved sons. Truly one of the Emperor's finest and bravest sons.
He's the proverbial "Light in The Darkness."
Definitely one of Corax's best moments as the Emperors Wrath! The beginning of a 10 000 year hunt!
as corvus makes planet fall with guilaman guilaman walks with corvus,admiring the forests around, guilaman was surprised admitdly
"i must admit ive never seen much of kiavahr,the peaceful nature is quite unlike much of ultramar or even macragge itself"
corvus looked at guilaman and sighed
"im even surprised you can admire nature when you have been busy usually having adminstering dutys"
guilaman nodded
"when i was young i once went through the forests of macragge upon a mission,but ive never seen how beautiful the stars are upon this place,its...admitdly a soothing feeling"
corvus looked at guilaman and held out his hand
"thank you,brother,i promise i shall return alongside my sons to aid you,to aid the inperium"
guilaman takes it but embraces the raven lord
"i know you will corvus,rest well and enjoy yourself,relax"
corvus nodded as guilaman teleported out after bidding him farewell and corvus for the 1st time smiles and looks upon the night sky, beautiful in its natural illumination
"huh....i guess you were right,my brother..."
to be continued
last time i was this early Argel Tal was still alive
Dropsite massacre was what really pulled me in to the lore, been hooked since
my favorite part of the heresy is just how many times Lorgar gets his shit kicked in
Corax -You (3000) take the left flank.
Ravenguard captain -What about the right flank lord?
Corax -That ones mine.
One of the best moments to show how amazing the Primarchs are.
Love to see my favorite primarch getting his own week. Corax is a beast, it’s a shame the legion got devastated so quick in the heresy and couldn’t play more of a role
Corax is my favourite because his is the ultimate greek tragedy level story.
He's the only primarch that was more than a primarch. He was human. He didn't see himself as a weapon or a tool. He was the only one who considered a life for himself after the crusade. Wanted to be a military historian.
Yet he's the one who fell the most. He never turned to Chaos. But he abandoned his humanity and turned himself into a weapon for vengeance.
He's not a traitor or a loyalist in the end. Just a weapon. He never betrayed anyone. But he did betray himself.
He's arguably the only primarch except maybe Vulcan. Who didn't see himself as superior to his sons or to ordinary humans. He was better than a primarch. He was human. And that's where all the rest. even Gulliman and the Emperor failed.
Favourite primarch n legion. Thanks so much! Everybody needs to know. For the Raven lord.
Boy oh boy is this going to be a good week
I love your videos, man! You're Raven Guard videos are some of my favorites and made me a fan of the chapter. Victorus aux mortis!
This is why Lorgar has been locked in his room for so long. He knows the Raven is just waiting for his moment.
Great reading. Your words makes me fall in love with the traitor Primarchs. Lorgar knowing the future, knowing what will happen. Running directly towards Corax, facing his fate without hesitation and bravely. Ever truthful and explaining the future state to Corax. Revealing to him that stasis is the true opposite. I love it. Unfettered, unyielding truth. Lorgar has got to be the best Primarch ever.
From the Novel First heretic. I missed reading that novel.
Can't wait for the next stories about Corax. Especially excerpts from Deliverance Lost
The first heretic was my first horus heresy novel. I still remember when I started and finished it. Loved it especially the moments with corax
I'm surprised we didn't get the bit after Corax's "for the Emperor".
*But he lied to us.... Father lied.* All this, before he reflects on the fact that of all his brothers, he least wanted to fight, and yet found himself dying on a battlefield.
I'm no fan of Lorgar, but I can't help but feel for him when he says that. It doesn't make his actions right, or excusable, but it shows just how human all the Primarchs were, Lorgar perhaps most of all.
What a beast. Corvus' journey made all the more powerful by the Raptors storyline and alpha legion infiltration and abduction of the untainted primarch genetic materials.
Corax* is pretty good from before the heresy but I think all his time in the warp now will definitely make him a talk a top three contender we have no idea how much the psychic power has been developed while fighting within the warp. During a rematch Lorgar it’s definitely gonna die
Fantastic,the grief and angst suffered by corax in the fields of horror,the istivan drop site.how he let his emotions free rein for but a second or two,produced a tear to mark this moment of suffering and then to force all of his grief into anger,to use it all as the coal that lit the furnace to drive the engine of destruction which was turned on his once loved brother. Just brilliant,the story, the atmosphere and the emotions described in a tale of monstrous betrayal. I loved every moment.. thank you for story,and the insight into corax..
Corax needs to return in 40k omg it would be epic.
Can’t wait for the “Round 2”. C’mon we already know Corax is alive and kicking, and now is the best time for return.
Wolf Lord Rho: It's such a shame the Raven Guard got cut down here, as it really stopped us from seeing more of Corax as he took on more of the other Primarchs.
Ferrus Manus of the Iron Hands: Are I a joke to you? I got Jack Shit!
so safe to say we know why Logar was a shut in for 10 000 years, cuz was/still is scared who is waiting outside his citadel it the warp xD
Lorgar is now hiding from Corax' vengeance
Corax was always one of my favourites. when he entered the warp like batman/crowman to chase Logar. One of best scenes/fights of the entire series of books.
Later time I was this early, Rho knew that the world eaters and the death guard were known traitors, and the Alpha legion were the 4the new traitors.
I had such chills throughout this, damn. Thanks for the video! I can't wait for the rest of Corax Week
Everyone loves an "Emo Raven Guard" meme but in my mind the Ravens are so criminally underwritten. Some of my favourite lore throughout the Horus Heresy books centres around the Ravens and Corax particularly. It's definitely slightly sad when the Iron Hands get so much attention throughout the series but the Raven guard (much like the Alpha Legion) barely get a mention.
Corax was very much an underrated Primarch and definitely one that deserved more. Hopefully you'll finish Corax week on the Corax vs Lorgar short story which opens things open so well for a potential return for both of them....
Corax is criminally underrated and deserves more justice. Most of his brothers are in the line of “the man of vanity stands in the front so the world sees him” while Corvus Corax is more like “the man with no vanity stands in the back so that he can see the world”. This Primarch never seeks attention, couldn’t give a damn if he’s in the spotlight, never begged dad’s attention or favours and is focused in doing his job in the most efficient manner possible. I like to think that the fact there’s scarce lore about the Ravenguard is a testament of their efficiency
2:20 they were 4 traitor legion initialy in the Istvan system, not only the Luna Wolves and Emperor's Children but also the Death Guards and World Eater.
I noticed that too.
3:04 Also, I noticed that he listed the World Eaters amongst the four legions that made up the second wave of Loyalists, whilst also missing out the Alpha Legion. 6:29 In total, Corax, Ferrus Manus and Vulcan went up against eight legions during the Dropsite Massacre, not six as later stated. I don’t like nitpicking over small details, but these are entire legions we are talking about here!
@@Ghostwolf82 yeah i noticed too but i figured that one comment was enough from me, if he get's one part wrong then all the other part will be to.
Corax was and is simply awesome. I suspect, however, that we won't see him again until he does kill Lorgar. Fine by me. That heretic needed offing before the heresy really began.
Lorgar IS the first traitor son.
15:01 I feel like attention needs to be drawn to the sheer badassery of being completely unphased by a goddamn headbut.
Corax and Raven Guard need more screen time, just saying it.
The background music here (Spirit) couldn't be more appropriate for Corvus.
God damn brother you had me covered in goose bumps!
Poor Corax.
It wasn't bad enough that his legion was annihilated at Istvaan, no he still had to get crapped on by the Alpha Legion in _Deliverance Lost._ Every time Corax tried to rise from defeat, he got kicked in the teeth.
No wonder he became depressed.
The black library CD of the Primarch Corax fighting destroying the enamy so his remaining warriors can organize become effective is great but his ability to become not invisible more like constant control over the heratics sight! Great audio 10/10
Hello Lord Rho
Nice work and this rivalry between the primarchs continue even in the warp
But to my understanding the world eaters were not part from retribution fleet as they were already declared traitor in the novel flight of the Eisenstein
You understand correctly. Also, he missed out mentioning that the Alpha Legion WAS part of the second wave.
@@Ghostwolf82
Absolutely, this fact is important as they used it to infiltrate loyal legions (Raven guard)
Corax is not just a top tier fighter but a top tier general too. He lead his legion with the skill of a guerilla army, the passion and intuition of Patton, and the love of a father.
The scene from dark imperium god blight about corax at the drop site massacre was also absolutely awesome
I binge watched all your videos now I have to wait like the rest of humanity..keep up the good work
heh, Corax was probably the only one who disliked Horus (well, maybe Curze and Angron but hey - they hated everyone and were hated in return) because he took everything for granted and liked to be center of attention even at the expense of others (namely Raven Guard lives). I remember a moment when Corax contemplated if he actually saw the signs of what was about to happen. When I think about it, Corax was in many ways opposite to Horus. Horus wanted to rule while Corax decided to cede power to the mortals when he's no longer needed. Definitely one of the better personalities among the Primarchs. And the Emperor even trusted him so much that he spared a moment during the time most critical to give him an information about the Primarch project (and he was also in some way privy to the knowledge about the true nature of the warp). Where many Primarchs were somehow narrow-minded in their approach, Corax always found an unexpected solution as he demostrated during his tabletop Warhammer session with Guilliman who was one of the best all-rounders on the field of war and this skill allowed them to survive the impossible odds of Istvaan V massacre and subsequent 80 days. Well, He's certainly one of the better fighters among the Primarchs but I would consider him with the Lion and Dorn on the 6th or 7th place after the obvious choices and Ferrus before or after them.
‘Raven Guard, under the tutelage of Lord Corax, had honed their infiltration skills to preternatural levels. They had been renowned amongst the Legiones Astartes as masters of espionage and reconnaissance.’
‘The greatest enemy is the one you cannot see, and so cannot fight. That is the essence of the Raven Guard.’ Raven Guard Quote
*Lorgar:* The opposite of chaos isn't order, it's...
*Corax: Shut up Nerd!*
The fight between Lorgar and Corax was absolute word porn.
Hell yeah just got Deliverance lost on Audible ! Can’t wait to listen through!
One can just hope that the ravon deamon will find a way out of the warp one day

He’s not in the warp he’s in the Engine of Woe

@@kenrudd6362haha. spoiler go brbrbrbr.
Corax is a hit-and-run expert, and forever bears the guilt of gathering his forces in one place. I think the later stages (the cloning) are a great example of giving into the easy solution -- just like his brothers did too -- and its results.
He was something beyond furious
Waited for this
It’s been a long time coming
Awesome and hell yea he a beast !! Great video can’t wait to hear more about this one!🤘🏻
Corax is a badass and he is sorely underrated. I can't wait to find out what's going on with him in the eye as he goes after lorgar and his sons. If you thought he was a badass back in the day I think he will be climbing up everyone's list of favorite primarch's
Hi WolfLord Rho. Really happy to see Corax week is here. The Raven Guard are one of my favourites, and it’s good to see them get the spotlight they deserve. I’m looking forward to the rest of the week’s videos.
I do have just one piece of advice though: when rereading the books in preparation for a new video, I’d advise taking down more complete notes. You made a few errors in this video (which is unlike you from what I can tell), like stating that there were only two Primarchs waiting for them on the surface, and that the World Eaters were part of the reinforcements of ‘loyalists’ that arrived later, and no mention of the Alpha Legion (I’m guessing you meant to say Alpha Legion but said World Eaters by mistake).
