The more I researched the more I hated Erebus! If you can, like and subscribe for all the pain I had to suffer for this traitor.
The man needs a swift kick to the erebussy if ya ask me
Your pain, our gain.
Lol Emperor Botherers not appreciating that Erebus was the only sane man in the galaxy long before Fabius made it cool.
The OG Reality Accepting Chad showing the virgin magic skellington man exactly what's what for ten thousand years.
Surely you are favored by the Emperor for bringing the details of such heretics to light. You are doing the God Emperor's work, friend.
We hate him because he is so perfectly written a villain.
I sometimes wonder if he has been so absent from 40K all these years, because GW either haven't thought of a good enough use for him yet, or because they're saving him for something big down the road.
“Do not be too eager to deal out death and judgment, Frodo. Unless it’s to Erebus. Seriously, screw that guy.” -Gandalf the Grey, probably.
😂😂😂 You win 🏆
🥇🏅🎖️🏆
That was awesome.
I can't wait for this so I can hate Erebus even more
Totally he is a jerk .
If you think you hate Erebus enough, you probably don’t. It’s always possible to hate Erebus more.
Boy I sure love hating Erebus.
Yessss lol
Would you consider him the most despised character in the setting?
I like how Erebus is very self aware of how terrible he is, and just doesnt care. He set out to be a piece of shit and he accomplished it
#nailedit
Sometimes that makes for a really effective villain. Some people really are just assholes because they genuinely enjoy it.
@@Kropothead not wrong
@@Kropothead I want him to die someday in the lore.
And I want his death to be torturous and satisfying.
Maybe have him be handed over to the Dark Eldar for torture.
@@Kaiserboo1871 he’ll probably have a rematch with Kharn somewhere in the future. I feel this will be a great end either for Kharn or Erebus.
Erebus betrayed no one- he never had any loyality besides for Erebus.
Fair enough
It's a hard old galaxy, if you're not looking out for number one then its going to get a lot harder
He is loyal to the Gods
Didn’t he kill Erebus
@@kookbrah640he'd turn on them in heartbeat. He's loyal to himself alone, and that's not even concrete.
Only 2 words make me smile when I hear the name Erebus, Get Up.
Get, up.
*chain axe roaring*
I just listend to that yesterday. The kharn story on this channel.
Do we know what erebrus is up to now?
Bro whoever voiced Lorgar did an amazing job! The others are good too, but wow you could hear the hurt in Lorgars voice.
Yeah that voice actor was AMAZING
"If I were in a room with erebus, lorgar and horus with a gun and only two bullets, I'd shoot erebus twice" or in the undying word of a pretty fun guy, GET UP.
Agreed Erebus was always 100 % bad, Lorgar and Horus had caricature flaws from the beginning but also many good ones, only gradually worsening, not totally there own fault that they ended up as they did, but Erebus killed a popular boy and stole his identity 😱 don’t even remember Erebus real name.
@@kimmogensen4888 Now that you mention it… I don’t even remember if his real name was even mentioned.
This voice acting was phenomenal. I think this is one of the best set up 40K lore videos out there
Absolutely amazing production brother, always love hearing Liam, Vox, and Warrior Teir they compliment your voice and writing style perfectly 💙
Thank you so much!
Who is the Liam? I know Vox and Warrior Tier
@@bjornpolivka5774 Liam Taylor, he's a great voice actor and appears in a lot of AKs videos I don't remember all his characters but he's played Rogal Dorn and the Emperor. Altruisan Grace Media also does a wonderful job as the emperor as well as narrating the best version of the Necoronomicon I've ever heard
Honestly, When the time comes it makes sense. Erebus death must be in the hands of the betrayer for obvious reasons, but what do you guys think?
I think it would be hilarious if it were at the hands of a C’tan shard, gods of the materium killing a mortal that worships the immaterial
@@ottovonbismarck7094A bit melodramatic considering they're star beings and have nothing to do with humans. And are gone.
@@ottovonbismarck7094 No, it would be even more hilarious if it was at the hands of one of those Erebus seduced to Darkness. Kharn... would be perfect.
Even better if Kharn appeared in front of a loyalist Chapter, and tossed Erebus's head onto the floor in front of them, and said something like:
'I am not here to spill blood this day, but to give witness to the one who began our fall. And to give you his head.'
Unlikely... but I would like to see that... yes, I loathe Erebus, he is truly evil.
@@alganhar1Kharn shoots him in one knee, breaks the other, pulls Erebus' arms back as Kharn stomps on his spine "And all this time I thought you were spineless, meddling worm! Let me tell you, I HATE being wrong!" Starts crunching a few. "Knock knock"
Erebus:"ARRRRRG WHOSE THERE!!?"
Kharn:"Rectified..."
"Rectified WHOOOO!"
(Rips Erebus' arms off then spine out)
"Wrecked, if I'd say so myself!"
(Tzeentch face palms, watching on TV)
I always look forward to your videos. Your storytelling, the voice actors and the music are high calibre and it makes me understand the characters more deeply even if i have hard the same stories elsewhere. Easily my favourite 40k channel.
Thank you!
Peak channel sir can't wait for the Dante of the video
Erebus is one of most powerful characters in the Warhammer 40k Galaxy. He is the Master Puppeteer. He is unapologetic and he knows who he is and has always been true to himself. He planted the seeds of all that is the Horus Heresy. Well played Erebus
he is one of the best written characters in the whole 40k and everyone wants him dead? why? It would be a massive loss to the whole setting and everyone who hates him, deservedly so cause fuck Erebus, would end up missing the little fucker..
I love Erebus he shows how much a standard human can achieve.
Can't be a traitor if he was never on the Imperium's side.
He is such a well-written character. Dan Abbnet did wonderful work with the Lore.
I have met Erebus, if there is evil, there must be love.
Some people are Erebus they are real.
Beware who you trust.
Trust takes years to build, and seconds to lose.
Great Video 💯❤️🤖
Edited: I didn't realise this would be an epic work of art.
I am truly grateful I needed this tonight.
Thank you Kind Soul :)
The voice actor for lorgar is maybe my favorite I've heard on your channel so far. incredible work, especially during the post-monarchia breakdown
he alos voiced Fulgrim as well in the Ferrus Manus video , did an even better job.
Lorgar's VA did such a good reading of Aaron-Dembski Bowden's First Heretic. You really have the best voice direction and narrations for 40K lore channels.
Really enjoyed the VO work for Erebus, sounds exactly like I always imagined it.
The more I learn about Erebus. The more I love him. He's the perfect bad guy. Pure evil and its amazing.
He really is a stellar bad guy for the setting.
At 40:22... There is a 'wheelchair accessible' symbol on the Wordbearer's pauldron.
I can't unseen it. Now you can't either.
Can't wait, Erebus is such a crucial character and i want to learn every possible aspect of it! Glad to have a new content of yours my friend👑
Bro really said "facts don't care about your feelings" and that led Lorgar to corruption.
It's more "feelings don't care about facts".
"Facts don't care about your feeling" is fabius line.
Great voices. The one doing the voice of Lorgar in the first part was awesome.
Thanks, fam! Fun part for sure. He's such a fussy, pompous, sad boy. lol
Probably, hell, THE best Erebus art on the thumbnail
PLEASE can you guys voice act the pit fight between Erebus and Kharn?! like the last duel between Sigismund and Kharn. That was a masterpiece.
Already have on my Kharn video.
I knew I had to save this one for when I was hobby-Ing my terminator captain was painted to this. It’s so Zen the way you tell stories that it makes painting even more relaxing
Erebus was the child that needed to be cuddled by a vortex grenade.
I can not stress just how damn good the VA work Logar was here.
I love the lore of 40k. I eat it up from all sources, and your telling of these charcaters is masterful. One of my other gaming buddies is also a lore sponge. And this...this was brilliant. I seriously cannot wait until you folks decide to cover horus or the full horus heresy. Thank you for all the work you do for loremasters everywhere
Wow, thanks!
Amazing work as always gentlemen...we are in the golden age of 40k lore creators folks..enjoy it...appreciate it.
Horus voice actor sounded so familiar to me until i looked at the VAs. Chris Tester is such an awesome VA! Love his WH speeches on tiktok that he does
"Get up."
Insane how the VA really captures Erebus well
what a champ
Brilliant video about a fantastically villainous character. He really should have a moustache to twirl!
Brilliant channel. Unmatched atmosphere, incredible narration, you even have great visuals! Its amazing we get this for free.
You rule.
The voice acting is absolutely amazing
Its very rare for me to love and hate a character in equal regard. About to finish the first heretic and i cant wait to see more of the bearers of the word
This was great and also hard to listen to at the same time. First as always The Amber King does a great job at bring the story to life. However this is Erebus we are talking about. I have never had a more visceral reaction to a character than I have had to Erebus. There were times listening when i had to stop listening to this just because of the revulsion. He is truly the most hated character in 40K. It is a rare thing to find a character that is self aware of how horrible they are and revel in it. And to the Amber King you are doing the Emperors work my friend. Well done as always.
It’s truly remarkable how your storytelling gets better with each video as if the last one wasn’t peak enough already, good job battle brother
I love when kharn destroys erebus and when horus cuts his face off
Where is that happening?
@@flonkplonk1649 I don't remember the names of the books but those two scenes are both on UA-cam read by other people. Just type something like kharn vs erebus and and horus vs erebus . I think the channel they are both on is named thecommissargeneral
Honestly the fall of Horus was about the most sentimental moment for me.
Basically while I was playing the audiobook I was at work- so it’s been 7 weeks I’ve been alone covering 4 positions that my boss (who disliked me because his GF tried to toss me under the bus by saying I never answer the radio, I answered the radio during lunch which she screamed at me that I wasn’t supposed to do- so I’ve been there for 7 weeks alone while anyone else there gets 3 people, my boss had 9 people to cover a 3 position place at the time)
So while I was at work I listened to the audiobook and after Horus was taken to the care deck, and before we get to Abadon and so on around the entrance talking about how Horus was dying and they could do nothing is about when I found out that my friend shot himself.
So needless to say basically my work quality went to shit and my boss did such petty shit- fucking siccing assistants on me if I even left my position to talk to my friend who was like just down from where I worked.
So needless to say accidents happened and after that was when I found out… he was doing this whole ‘I’ll strip down everything to the bare minimum and get the numbers up so I look good’ and him being a wide mouth in both the gluttonous way and the mouthy with anyone but ‘the peasants’ he failed spectacularly and was reassigned as other people were brought in.
I haven’t seen him in weeks.
Now my friend is back from the hospital- and he’s getting divorced. He’s doing okayish and is getting better.
I'm sorry for you and your friends suffering brother. Don't suffer such a shitty job and terrible boss. Either leave for better fields or burn it all down before you leave. Either way you deserve better.
Not fall. Ascension
It sucks when the job sucks. Stay strong my friend. That which does not kill you makes you stronger. I hope life gets better for. I'm about to retire, life got better for me, but the road was long and shitty. 💪👍
Drugs solve lots of problems
Horus: you are just a puppet
Erebus: uhm... about that.
I really hate Erebus and he's a character that is more convincing than Abaddon.
Now I need the “Child of Chaos” narrated by Liam Taylor. Truly sinister.
Erebus is one of my favorite characters. Such a well told and believable villain
You are by far my favorite orirator of 40k lore. Your cadence is masterful, and it is mixed with the music that inspires passion for the story. I really hope you make a video about the Grey knights one day as they have very limited lore in general and would benefit greatly from your highly detailed deep dives. Thank you so much for inspiring me as a storyteller🙏 keep doing what you're doing. You are amazing.
The architect that laid the foundations for the worse war in the Imperium’s history. If not for him would Lorgar and by extension Horus have fallen? Maybe even the Emperor would still be more than a living corpse and Sanguinius would be able to guide his sons and have kept them from the black rage and dark thirst. Insane how all roads for where the Imperium is now lead back to this vile heretic. Great video
The VAs knocked this one out of the park amazing job
Man, do I love how hateable Erebus is! If anyone deserves to fall into a hole, break his neck, become paralyzed, and slowly expire of thirst in said hole, as he soils himself, only to be utterly forgotten, in his despair, it is Erebus...
What thing I really wish I could rewrite it would be that Lorgar did not get beaten to a pulp in a bad way versus Horus.
Basically, Lorgar is a zealot. He should not beg for mercy at the hands of Horus. I would have it:
“Lorgar engaged Horus, but each assault of his weapon was parried with minimal effort. Horus enjoyed toying with him, but grew bored and struck him down. With each blow Lorgar was struck down, but each time he got back up. Each strike a test of his faith, but he was the chosen of the four gods. Zealous fury rose in Lorgar as Horus’ words of belittlement accompanied each successive knock down. But then, in one burst of power Lorgar rose and came at Horus - a rage that the warmaster had not anticipated, and behind the chaos-lulled eyes of the warmaster, Lorgar saw a hesistation. He pushed the advantage, landing a blow, then a second, until at last, his mace was parried by the Claw of Horus and the pommel of Horus’ blade struck his face with a force of the warp. Lorgar fell. Crippled, he could rise no more, his muscles were broken, even as a primarch it would take time to heal. He lay, muttering prayers, smirking ubehind bruised and torn tissue. As Horus lambasted his brother, declaring his right was the mantle of Warmaster, his claim as the rightful Enperor of mankind, Lorgar chuckled under blood-filled breaths. “You do not see Brother, but I do. I am the Herald of the word of the Gods, I have seen their plans for you and it is nought but death. Oh you think yourself the Warmsdter of mankind with Chaos as your palanquin of power? No, favoured of the false Emperor, in time you vanity will prove fruitless. You are nothing more than a pawn of the Primordial Powers. They send you out to cripple the frontlines, as I await the moment to fill the void left by your crippled corpse. “
Horus left him, Lorgar chuckled, even now the Gods kept him alive. Even now he knew he was The Bearer of the Word.”
This change would take nothing from Horus’ character. We already know his flaws and martial level. Howver, Lorgar, due to the writing is ALWAYS the underdog. This, at the very least, shows that he can be a threat if driven enough.
Thank you patreons and performers
Absolutely phenomenal! Your gonna blow the fuck up soon man cause talent that good is impossible to ignore. Your the only person on UA-cam who can properly make the lore come to life and live up to 40k the way it’s meant to. Thank you for your hard work man these are so damn special!
We can all hate Erebus all we want, but his story, at least presented by The Amber King, was awesome! Lol
Astounding! Never did I think I would enjoy anything regarding Erebus but you have surpassed expectations yet again! Amazing narration from both you and the others and the music to boot!
Thank you so much and well done on yet another amazing video!
Amazing as always. Cant wait for a 5h long Horus or Sanguinius video :)
Adore your videos, always have them on while painting. The music, the narration and the vibes perfectly capture the essence of 40k.
Amazing stuff. You never disappoint. Theres not one video youve done that I haven’t liked. Please keep up the great work!
Read and acted as a masterpiece, with the perfect background music. Let hatred of Erebus flow. You have shown us more clearly why he should and must be hated!
Love to hate and you will feel only love.
Outstanding work as always. Thank you for continuing to bring us these amazing overviews. Bravo 👏
I love these deep dives so much!! Such excellent work.
Hearing kor pheron talk about “Faith” to Lorgar man was that shit good 🔥 33:39
This is the first video of yours I’ve watched/listened. Fantastic work and kept me thoroughly entertained while painting!!
I'm touched❤
Erebus might be one of the most hated characters in the lore, if not just the most hated. I think he's written extreamly well.
Another banger from you, I can't say how much I enjoy your videos, excited to see more!
While I'd disagree with the accent choice, this is one of the BEST narrations and voice acting on the site for 40k stories EVER!!!
Lorgar has come so close to being who he was meant to be so many times. Koda phaeron and Erebus were poison in his ears. The story of the word bearers is so tragic, they had so much promise if the imperium worked as intended.
I also love the traitor word bearers lore!😅
Fascinating character. Glad you did a video on him. Cunning makes things so interesting.
Love the voice acting and diologue between the people!! Goosebumps! amazing?
Your narrarion and use of music gives me chills. Just amazing
This is absolutely spectacular. Thanks so much.
This is now my favourite audio of yours. whenever I read erebuses parts in Horus heresy novels I hear this voice.
This is really really good. definitive even. Thank you.
Excellent video! Nice work.
I just got done with the first three heresy books. Looking forward to this!
I've been waiting for this! Thank you, Amber King!!!
Wonderful video and voice acting: Erebus truly sounds like the scheming snake he is.
👏👏👏 awesome bio. Very well done
Absolutely brilliant! Thoroughly enjoyable
This is AMAZING! Thank you for all the unbelievable material
Whoever you got to play Lorgar did an amazing job. He did an amazing job
I love the voice you chode for Erebus, it is quite perfect for him.
oh wow. i read the first heretic but this is much better. erebus and kor phaerons voiceactors are stunning
Despite thinking himself the most person in the grand scheme of chaos, one can't help but notice he has not been elevated to the rank of Daemon Prince.
OMG YOUR CONTENT IS SO SATISFYING TO MY MIND…. DRINKING IT IN MY MIND… I FILL MY IMAGINATION TO ITS FULLEST
SOOOOOOO FAAAAA KING GOOD.
This is an awesome video about a true traitor. Love it!!!
Love your work and these deep dives
You know, hate him or really hate him, Erebus is a great character. The ultimate hateable villain of 40k.
Another amazing video. Quickly became my favourite channel :D
It may sound crazy, but Erebus may be my favorite 40k, or maybe Ahriman. But like, villains have all the fun. Erebus is the reason we have some of the best 40k stories.
I've come to hate the guy, but that just means he is good villain xd
I did read the Horus Heresy without any knowledge of Warhammer. Boy was I mad when I found out Erebus is still around in 40K.
Freaking amazing job you did with this one! Thank you!!
This was so good to listen to, and I know I’ll sit through it many more times and never get bored. I love how you put all of your deep dive character lore together. It’s truly professional! This gave us a good behind the scenes look at some of the other characters involved in the Horus Heresy too, and their descent into Chaos. I can’t help thinking that Erda was right about him though - as much as Erebus talks about his devotion to the gods, he was a nasty and cruel child who needed a vehicle through which he could indulge those flaws and he found it, and used it as justification for his actions. I’ve really enjoyed learning more about him, and I will admit that I was a little bit stung after he was humiliated by Lorgar and Horus, even if they were all on the “wrong side”.
Thank for the video
great work as always.
In the "which primarch is strongest?" series, clearly, Erebus comes out on top :-)
Obligatory *Fuck Erebus* , but all jokes aside, THIS is going to be a hard hitter of a video. My man the amber King never dissapoints
your videos are awesome. excellent concept.
LIam Taylor knocked Erebus out of the park... he sounds so smug... like instead a face you want to punch, he sounds like someone you'd love to punch... he definitely captured everything about Erebus in his reading.
Another amazing video!
