Oculus, I painted my first little dude yesterday, after listening to your videos for years. Thanks for being the best in-road into this weird little hobby.
Hey this is so wonderful, delighted to hear it and thank you so much!
I'm just here for that voice, but I'm still proud of you! Keep it up, you can only get better! 🤘
Chad behavior 😎
Which little dudes are you painting?
..
Welcome to the hobby.
Getting the Mor face on the moon in the thumbnail like the meme is peak
Glad someone caught it.
@@OculusImperia keep up with the great work, I did chuckle seeing the meme on your Twitter
Haha, that's a good catch
The legend of Zelda, Mor's mask.
I just noticed that now after 3 months😂
NOTE FROM YHE ADEPTUS LINGUISTUS:
The ancient term “it doesn’t bodt well” is a linguistic artefact of this bloody event.
"We can be ruthless assholes too Traitors" is the entire Iron Hands schtick at times and I love it, wanted your take on this since the Xana Incursion.
Autek Mor single-handedly proving kinetic bombardment WORKS in 40k, no one else seems to care bc void shields or something
I think the larger issue is that it basically cracks the planet. It isn't that it doesn't work, but that it leaves the planet unconquerable. In Mors mission, this was a moot concern, but for many others it would leave a planet totally uninhabitable in a way that even the worst of the imperiums weapons (nukes, live eater virus, exterminatis missiles) won't.
It works against insain bezerkers who give next to zero though to defence anyway. Against another wold of similar importance and teck I guess not.
Didn’t Talos destroy a small flotilla of loyalist ships by blowing up a moon?
Doesnt Ghazgull actually use asteroids to destroy Hades hive during the 3rd war for armageddon?
Abbadon figured it out
Iron Hands "The Flesh is weak"
World Eater "All the better to rip and tear"
Meanwhile, A literal Moon: "Haha, flesh goes splat and iron goes crunch."
I love how much you talk about the Iron Hands! Very underrated legion
They have perhaps been badly written. I have not found them interesting. I did feel the same about the Night Lors till I read Soul Hunter.
What is a good book to read for the world eaters and the iron hands please?
@@Erebusdidnothingwrongish I read most of the hh and the impression i got is they were a bunch of jocks
@@Erebusdidnothingwrongish that nightlords trilogy is fantastic, all most makes you feel bad for them..almost..
@@Erebusdidnothingwrongish For the Iron Hands during 30k, Meduson: Ultimate Edition has a bunch of good Iron Hands stories. "Riven" and "The Keys of Hel", both of which are about the IH and their tech heresy are some of the best short stories in the entire Horus Heresy imo. And if you're willing to view "Damnation of Pythos" as an independent story it'd also pretty good.
For 40k Iron Hands Eye of Medusa, Voice of Mars and Wrath of Iron are all very underrated.
And for some underrated books for the World Eaters I'd recommend Kharn: Eater of Worlds and Angron: The Red Angel.
@@joseemilioromanruiz7152thank you I've been in dire need of some of the good books about my Legion
“I cast MOON!”
“I cast MOON! … And I cast it *into* Bodt!”
Moon was super effective
The OC can tell you who the bad guys are: they're the ones who don't keep proper records.
"Proper records" are an entirely theoretical concept in both 30k and 40k. The simple size, distance, and lack of stable, quantifable data transfer (as most FTL communication is done entirely by a psyker screaming into the void for another psyker to hear) means that, at best, material is quantifable by one, maybe two sources if your lucky.
@@KillerOrca it's even worse than that: they don't scream, they dream at each other. They are sending messages via dreams through a literal realm of nightmares. Astrotelepathy in 40k sucks as a method of superluminal communication, but it's the best they have.
...So the good guys in 40k are the Farsight Enclaves and... the Tyranids? Since they use DNA as a data storage medium and all.
@@jesseberg3271 Ive heard it described as both. As well as being basically direct radio communication, as putting thoughts and feelings into a ball and throwing it into the void, and as dreaming as you mentioned.
It seems to shift depending on whos doing the writing honestly.
Sure record keeping in 30-40k is fundamentally broken.
But the point remains, conserving even this bad record is better than not keeping a record at all or even falsifying it etc.
Keeping a record of ones actions during war, communicates that the party has nothing to hide, even if they have destroyed all evidence contrary to their propaganda.
It is a self imposed moral stance.
Man I'm not even that much into 40k. I've never painted a figurine, never played a game on the tabletop, haven't played as a space marine on console.... I just love the aesthetic and atmosphere of these videos. I listen to them while I cook. I listen to them driving. I listen to them to fall asleep. Ave Imperator!
That's how it starts. The emperor protects just not your wallet!
You're into 40k dude 😂
@jorgeclarkson8286 yeah but most 40k nerds say otherwise. Soooo
@@badm0t0rf1ng3rbuild paint play read. They all count
Never play the table top. Do not give GW money. Purate the books or buy them second hand if you ever want to read them.
Giving new meaning to the phrase, "Rocks Fall, Everybody Dies".
"Roses are red, Angron's a goon, live up to your names and swallow this moon."
- Autek Mor, 008.M31
😂 perfection 👌
Even by 40k standards this takes “there is no kill quite like overkill” to whole another level. Mor made the planet uninhabitable or even settleable for millenniums.
Mor literally broke the planet,just like Abbadon did to Cadia.
Me and a workmate call him "Autek Moon" whenever he comes up, and god knows the image of his face on the moon makes me chuckle
Best Iron Hands have ever gotten in terms of lore right here
The moon was a 'fail dangerous' to deny the enemy the prize in case Mor failed to retrieve it.
Fail dangerous what does that mean? Please? Do you mean fail safe it is it something else. Cheers
@@Erebusdidnothingwrongish The opposite of a fail safe. Also known a fail deadly. If he fails, Everyone still dies.
@@brettleivars3945this made me chuckle
Ok oh my god…..oculus will never EVER fail to hit the mark. Loved reading about this story the first time
Wooo! Iron Hands! I’ll take what I can get.
Thank you, Noble Oculus.
Man, what I love most - more than the note-perfect tone and word choices, more than the evident absolute commitment to doing good work, more even than the unmentioned yet obvious unparalleled absorption and collation of the subject material - is the fact that our man @OculusImperia here doesn't seem to edit away his slip-ups. It's near humanly impossible to read aloud for an hour straight without fumbling a word or its emphasis (I know this because my brother is quite likely the most-recorded man in history) and everyone else clearly 'fixes' their mistakes. The occasional stumble like the one at 29:53 makes the historator feel ten times more real, and by extention, the lore itself.
Longtime listener, first-time caller. 10/fucking10.
What does your brother do?
@@simonnilsson5356 Though my post smacks a bit of 'My brother has the same minigun as in Predator' playground nonsense, he reads audio books - 8-9 hours a day for 30 years. His manager phoned him up and told him he'd just worked it out... Logically, I reckon he's probably right
@@VersusWolves No, I was just interested - that’s cool!
It would seem that Mor was a student of ancient Terran history, and must have understood the myth of "Midora's Mask" and the imminent threat of impact by localized stellar body.
4:20 “They were absolute *lunatics.”* -Dreadnought Ferrus telling an alternate Manperor about his unfavored sons in Clan Morragul / the Red Talons, while Ghostface Dorn looks on commenting _”~Fortify~”_
I love hearing stories about the shattered legions striking back against the traitors
I had no idea about this battle! New lore lets goo!!
Lets goo? Sounds a bit to nurgley for my liking
I love when my legion of iron devotees get love.
I finished up the iron hands arc recently in the heresy novels. The way they fractured and abandoned meduson was pretty disapointing. But this is a pretty badass story.
A true loyal servant to the Emperor you are thank you for this retelling!
Was looking forward to the next upload, I'm sleeping soundly tonight, the music especially just puts this channel way above anything else
I knew nothing of this. Is this in the HH books? Thanks for a great video.
How myths are created..
“The precious and holy relics was filled with the most precious and holy ammunition only to shoot it into the sky.”
Such a cool statement 💯🇬🇧🫡
It's in the Horus Heresy Black Book 6 - Retribution.
@@charleslarue792 i’m listening to The Lost and the Damned right now. I read the first three books in HH, then Nemesis (an excellent book if you like anything around the periphery of how the whole universe works) I’ll definitely give book number six a go thank you.
The Black Books were the big campaign books forge world did for the table top game. They came with 200 odd pages of lore each. Sadly they are out of print now but you can get digital versions. They did publish a free pdf going into the lore of the assault of Bodt on Warhammer Community.
Thank you for the continued work our Honored Lord of Histories.
The man, the myth, the legend, Autek-Mor. Brilliant composition, mate. Time to polish off my heresy army.
The younger fans will grow to appreciate this narration style to the utmost, forged by the precision of the hammer over time.
"Its a world Full of World Eaters"... Autek Mor " So What"... (Superb Work Oculus)
47:00 Best World Eater EVER! BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!! Thank you
Great video, Iron Hands have always needed more love!
Excellent work Historator. It’s good to view this most recent record of yours, for all too often the Xth Legion are left to the margins & footnotes of the Heresy’s historiography.
this should be a Rogue one-like spin off of a live action Horus Heresy
Flight of the Esienstein.
Our favourite metal lads went full Majora’s Mask on the angry bois
I love this battle, thanks! I'm so glad to see you're making your way through the Heresy at last. I look forward to all the awesome conflicts to come, especially the Conquest of the Coronid Deeps, the Siege of Cthonia and the Beta-Garmon campaign (although this last one is more difficult to research, since it's spread across at least four source book, with various degrees of detail between them)
Oculus! Your iteration and delivery always kicks a satisfactory amount of arse! 'a moon as a bullet' soooo 40k!
I love your videos man! I use them as my background noise while I pump weights at the gym. Keep up your quality content!
Thank you, Oculus, for another excelent record! Keep up the great work.
I love the intro sound effects into your videos - they are the sign of a great video incoming!
Oculus, thanks for your content man. I'm kinda at an in between place in my life and it's helping me push through. I appreciate it.
2 of my favorite legions going at it, it really is Christmas!
Top notch, as always, Oculus! Cheers for making your videos!
You have blessed my Friday.
Superb, Autek Mor one of my favourite characters from the heresy.
Saw you on Juggz, now planning to work through all your stuff, great work.
Thanks for coming on board! :D
Yooo. I never even knew about this event or the Guy Autek Mor.... He was really insane. Dude dropped a Moon on a Worldeaters Planet, dude even went down to the very Dregs of Butchery itself and Gave Everybody the Middle Finger and then Dipped out-LEGEND!..Also, this planet sounded Crazy. Like the last planet you would ever want to invade. Those people were so crazy they started shooting the moon with there guns just because they realized it was being used as an attack. Lmfao. Great Video and thanks for this. You really made my day. I listened to this Twice Btw
I hope at some point a video about Kharn is done. I cant wait to hear you describe him killing off his own teamates because they sought safety from a Blizzard. Lmfao
I JUST NOTICED HIS FAce ON THE MOON!
Another enlightening vox cast to add to the archival stacks, Oculus! This humble acolyte will commit it to holy velum as soon as permitted.
If one may be so bold as to request, will we be seeing a continuation of the records of the Arks of Omen in the future? While I understand that tales of the benighted days of the Heresy are most important due to their... "withholding" from the wider Imperium, I can't help but feel as though the return of the First Son, the Knight of Caliban, is a record most worthy of documentation.
Avē Imperator.
Inductii: Why do I hear the Clock Town theme?
Oh man oh man oh man. The coolest Space Marines and the coolest event for a whole hour!
Ah yes another wonderful video to dominate insomnia with.
Thank you for this proto-Red Talons story...a fascinating Iron Hands successor.
So glad you did this i love autek mor he carrys the iron hands for me
Always a good morning waking up to one of your uploads!
Broooo why are you so good at this?
👍👍
I simply have nothing of value to utter or offer. Many thanx Noble Narrator & chronicler, many thanx. May U remain in the Emperor's light.
splendid start to my day, thank you
Absolutely great video as always, though I’m surprised you didn’t reference the events in the “Depths of Tredecimmia” PDF
I view this as a testament to the beleaguered yet heroic War hounds. Rather than those tribal miscreants of metal, those audacious augmenters.
Always up for more iron hands lore
Your words tickle my brain correctly. Thank you
invading what can easily be considered the Eaters "home world" does not sound like a fun time.
You continue to do the emperors work
Awesome video, looking forward to the Signus Campaign.
I wish I could talk like the narrator and stay in that character at work .
Definitely keen to have you cover the Thramas Crusade
Made my Friday.. praise the emperor
Great vid. I'm Patiently awaiting signus campaign vids!
Thank you!
Good Story Brother.
Im Just happy someone remembers my 10th legion exists
Been a Son of the Gorgon since the 3rd edition( the one with the templars on the cover)
Another excellent video
Fabulous, as always 🤘
sweet God Emperor that's good scholarship
When the moon hits your eye, then your planet will die, that's odio.
I've gone though all the main Horus Heresy books and I don't remember this one. What book/short story was this?
This is an excellent video
Today's challenge. How do I listen to the new occulus to as a fall asleep, but at work since this dropped in the morning lol
41:06 good to see Flava Flav survives to the 30th millennium
Thank you
Great video thank you oculus
Lovely stuff!
Thank you.
Do you ever think ypull do some videos on Warhammer Fantasy?
I'd love to see what you'd do for the First Vampire War, the Great War Against Chaos or the Errantry Crusades and the rise of Repanse
Great stuff
Is it possible to make a video on Malcador the Sigillite er Hero? Man deserves his due.
Autek, buddy. What are you uh... doing with that World Eater gene seed?
I see world eaters content I click simple as
11:37 there's no way old mate is fitting through that hatch...
Didn’t Autek go on to found a successor chapter after the heresy?
Indeed. Autek went on to be the Chapter Master of the Red Talons.
I wonder if abadon got the idea for cracking cadia from this battle
Those examples of the Emperor's leniency are both wrong. Konrad Curze was going to be punished for his actions, before he even blew up Nostromo.
One of the reasons Perturabo joined Horus was that he didn't believe the Emperor could, would or should forgive him for decimating Olympia however Horus did forgive him and this soothed his spirit somewhat, I guess.
TONIGHT ON SHATTERED LEGION GEAR WE FIND OUT THE TOP SPEED OF A MOON!
Finally, a decent Iron hand. Heresy books should have been about Mor. Meduson was boring
plz man something on numan gun clans, very limited info about them
Is this covered in a novel?
Jesus Mor was Evil. I love it
