These events are from the short story "Mercy of the Dragon" by Nick Kyme. As always I really recommend you read the story for yourself first. Not only do you get the most enjoyment this way, but we help to support the great black library and games workshop. Link: www.blacklibra...

Little known fact: "The flesh is weak" is sth Ferrus got from Vulkan. But the whole quote is " the flesh is weak but deeds endure."
It's the opposite theology of Thulsa Doom.
"What is steel compared to the hand that wields it"
@@justinavery8664 i am also pretty sure thats a quote from Conan 😆
Unfortunately Ferrus' legion perverted the statement to justify replacing their body parts with machinery at every opportunity. I guarantee you he would be disgusted with what the Iron Hands have become.
@@saltedllama2759 i think they went bat shit only after daddy Ferrus died. The IH did some daaaaark shit to thenselves, not bc they thought flesh was weak, but bc most of them were so ravaged by the constant war on the traitors that their bodies couldnt keep up. But instead of dying many of them would turn to soulless automatons just to be able to keep fighting. Pretty sad if you think about it. All that shit bc of a love for a father who really didnt care all that much for his legion.
@@BM-is5ei damn
Vulkan: Hello Metal-Arm brother!! Let’s us hug in the power of friendship!!
[Crushes Ferrus in a hug]
Ahh I see your also a man of culture.
Look at his little skull ghost....a *skhooooost*
ferrus is T7 S7 fellow and a big boy he could endure.
Reminder that Khan is probably the most honest and straight-talking Primarchs and he outright states that the two of his strongest brothers are Ferrus and, surprisingly, Mortarion. Ferrus is too soon removed from 30k to get a good scope of what he could do, but let's remember, that he's the only Primarch that canonically "tested" himself against the Emperor. Not "lost", but "tested against". Let that sink in. Fulgrim got a sucker punch in.
This sounds weak.
Vulkan lives stomp stomp
*STOMP STOMP*
STOMP STOMP
VULKAN LIVES!
STOMP STOMP
ADVENTURE!! HAA HA!
I love the part where Ferrus mentions Vulkan’s armor. It shows the difference in ideology, Ferrus builds practical war gear with not much emphasis on artisan ship whereas Vulkan builds gear to look good aswell.
Vulkan: I'm bored, no one will want to build legos with me.
Emperor: Dude, you got a bro who loves legos as much as you.
Vulkan: Really!?
Emperor: Also you have another bro who's yellow and loves to play fort. And another bro who's a smurf and loves to tell everyone else what the rules are for playing fort. And you have a whole bunch of other bros who like playing knights and will guard your fort.
Also Emperor: And you have a whole bunch of bros who want to break your fort and steal your legos b/c they're jealous bullies. Try not to kill your brothers over legos.
Dorn: I won't promise anything.
I don't know why but I can visualise this with TTS emperor and dorn
@@AlexWithington Dorn says this while cutting off Alpharius' left arm with his Storm's Teeth.
@@TheAcidDrip after that the rest of the loyal primachs come in and ripe alpharius to pieces
@@AlexWithington Just to reveal that they were all alpherius all along!!!
@@cameronmunro655 but I am alpharius!!!
These 2 w/ Perterabo should have been building cool shit. Not fighting.
just imagine what could have been with the genius of perturabo for city building and the best metal workers there is , the world they would have build would have put the imperial palace to shame
And Dorn for the fences.
... Guilliman planning the layout, Fulgrim decorating ...
They were creators not destroyers.
@Kyros Droztamyr
I know right if every Primarch was made for a different purpose which obviously they were then why did he have them all acting the same and doing the same things?
As much as i like Ferrus his sons are outright insane. I highly recommend the lore on the IH shortly after Ferrus dies. Its tragic and badass at the same time.
B M what book(s) do you recommend?
Meduson is mainly about tge shattered Iron Hands legion and their struggle to survive. Angel Exterminatus is about Fulgrim and Perturabo and a renegade IH team attempting to kill Fulgrim. It also features the most badass Raven Guard you'll ever see. The Seventh Serpent is about the IH and Alpha Legion.
There is one particularly sad story of a IH discovering old commrads so heavily augmented that they were barely human but forget what its called. I dont want to go into detail bc of spoilers. Maybe someone can help out.
@@BM-is5ei i know which one you're talking about, I think it is called "The keys of Hel"
It's sad how the Dark angels are traitors meme is so widespread while the IH are much more heretical
But nobody gives a damn about IH
@@BM-is5ei I gotta agree with Nykona Sharrowkyn the most badass Raven Guard.
Idk if you noticed, but all the Space Marine legions go insane when Dad dies.
You're a damn sadist, Rho. How can you leave us dangling like this?! Seems like a very Slaaneshi thing to do.
Also seems Slaaneshi to come back for more of that sadism.
Heresy.
I smell heresy.
how you know those despicable gods *loads guns*
Vulcan lives.

Vulkan: I just can't be some warlord. I'm a maker not a destroyer!
Also Vulkan: The population of Caldera seems to worship Eldars as their savior. Time to burn this planet then!
Don't the Dark Elder regularly raid Vulcan's home planet? He probably has a much lower opinion of Eldar than his brothers.
Didn't the Emperor first have to guide Vulkan to some ritual for him to conclude they would never accept Imperial rule ? In fact wasn't he disobeying orders up to that point and actually avoiding trying to massacre the general population ?
You have to subject impure ores in fire to remove the unwanted.
Making heathen barbeque is the most blessed form of making in my view.
Robert Currie Yeah, thats why he hated them as much. They came to his planet and got some sex slaves.
Wolf Lord Rho, you've managed to put me in the "Emperor did love his sons" camp. Granted, he can be distant, but you're right. It's little moments like this were he's just smiling to himself thinking, "Oh you boys" when things like Ferrus being the hard-as-nails dude he is jumps straight to judging the armor before he judges his brother.
Welcome to the camp! 😂
he definitely loved _some_ of them.
Honestly, I don't get people who conflate all of them. Big E had many human flaws, and any father with that many sons is gonna like some more than others.
Vulkan: Hello my dear brudda friend!!!! I am sooo happy to join you on the great crusade to reconnect to our other bruddas in the galaxy!
Ferrus: Your hugs are weak, Vulkan!!!
Yes it most certainly has been too long! I missed these
Seconded.
Thirded
I love how informal Ferris is with the emperor in that passage. I would imagine Ferris would be good to drunk with.
I love Vulkan definitely my favorite primarch
It seems that the more "human" and down-to-earth a Primarch is, the more the Emperor liked them.
Unsurprisingly, people tend to like you more when you're not up your own ass, lol.
Makes sense, that was what the Emperor ultimately intended.
I believe all the Primarchs had a purpose, and Vulkans purpose is to be humanity's protector. Big E ultimately did everything he did for the species, so he really connected with anyone who saw what he saw when he looked at an ordinary person.
@@soffren - I think u r right.
Just makes me so sad that Ferrus is dead.
If the Ravengaurd and the Salamanders hadn't fallen back, Ferrus would still be alive.
@@snakeyman5560 ...No they'd all be dead. It was 3 against 8. Ferrus should have fallen back. They all should have. Nothing could have saved him once he charged in. It was like shooting fish in a barrel for the Traitors.
@@randomcenturion7264 ;c
I just read the book
Fulgrim. He was dead the moment they made planet fall. Fulgrim is a tragic story.
If Vulkan, Ferris, Purterabo, and Dorn all 4 teamed up they creations would be the stuff of not just legends, but myths.
VULKAN: VULKAN SMASH!
Farrus: HOLY WAR HAMMERS BATMAN!
The Emperor: exactly.
It's great to see the primarchs talk about each other. Vulcan lives Stomp Stomp
The only content creator I actually have the notifications bell on for
Impressive storytelling Mr. Wolf
The great blacksmith duo!!!
I see ferrus as more of a welder, and vulkan as the blacksmith.
@@jeraeyork5914 With Perturabo creating the designs.
@@Spartiatai300 Perturabo:"Perturabo the Architect. I like the sound of that!"
yes we need more primarch moments
I do love any Great Crusade stories we get. Personally far more interested in that time period over the Heresy.
Your videos and insight are very entertaining, and you single handedly convinced me to give audio books a try and boy am i glad. Thank you and keep up the good work
Thank you for the support!
ONWARD WOLF BRETHREN, ONWARD TO 40K SUBS FOR THE WOLF LORD! love your passion for Warham merchant rho, your a champion!
I have just read the story and I must admit vulkan has to be my favourite primarch he's possibly the most intimidating physicaly to behold out of all his brothers due to his massive size complection and colour of his eyes but his humanity shines threw fantastic story and brillant post
I eagerly await the return of the most human primarch of them all.
Yes.. It is a long time coming.. But i think the wolf king or the raven will be the first to come back.. The avenging son needs his brothers more than ever..
- ”Vulkan Lives”...
2 for 1 special! Emperor and Primarch interactions. Great content as usual 🏆
I was waiting for you to say than "Vulken hugged Farrus"
Vulkan, Ferrus Manus, and Perturabo where in all intents and purposes meant to be the Emperors architects and builders, meant not only to unite the empire but too forge it into something glorious and beautiful. One can only imagine what the Imperum of the forty first millennium would have looked like had the heresy never taken place.
The real question is did Vulkan give his Brother a big hug!
Had to watch this before the end of my shift. Once again Wolf my friend you are great.
Showed up in my recommended. I was not disappointed!
It's interesting to hear that ferrus expected and seemed to want a blacksmith for a brother instead of a warlord..
I really like these first meeting videos, they tell so much about the Primachs and the relations between them and their respective legions.
This got me thinking, if there is any sparring match scene between the Primarchs, I would love to listen to you covering it.
My good man wolf lord bringin on some primarch talk , a good day indeed
I was sooooo excited to see this upload! Vulcan is my favorite!
*Stomp stomp*
Wessel Schippers VULKAN LIVES!
Yes, that last part reminded me of when the emperor summoned Ferrus in the webway against the forces of chaos (Feruus was dead in the material world). Imagine e well made and catered with film about these scenes and characters ...
And thank you for these amazing lore / audiobook type videos. Have been here for a while but hadn't got to thank you till now.
I read this short story last month and i knew you would love it too Rho
i loved reading that short story for the first time. vulkan is one my favorite primarch cause of his humanity !
Nick Kyme always does Ferrus justice.
Liked!
Love those emperor and primark vids! Also primarks vids alone are greatly appreciated!
Thanks man it’s been forever I’ve never clicked faster
My daily youtube routine: hopefully search my new list for Rho videos.
Another excellent video, thank you! I am a fan of the primarchs and these two are some of the more interesting ones, they just seem to have more depth to them than one would think at first glance. It is a shame that Ferrus Manus died so early on in the heresy as I would have loved to see his character fleshed out even more. Oh and Vulkan lives.
Thank you. I love hearing about the Primarchs. Your every video is an encouragement to learn more! And you're not wrong about Ferrus suffering from bad writing - he needs some rehabilitation! :)
GW always removes the good stuff like Malal, or squats
I love your channel! You provide the lore in a unique and very passionate way. Thank you!
vulkan and magnus are my favorite primarchs always to love to hear more about them
Another superb video! Many thanks Rho.
BL should hire you to do the audiobook options
Emperor: "Now, you boys play nice."
Nearby Anvil: **Looks on with Horror**
Kmsl😂
As a Ferrus Manus fan, I'd love to see what your take/perspective of things would've been like in a what-if-scenario video about him. Over what would've happened in the long term of the Horus Heresy if he survived and escaped the Dropsite Massacre like Corax did. As I imagine if he didn't get killed off as soon as he did, his presence on places like Terra would've had a massive impact on how the climax of the Horus Heresy would've ended.
I always wanted to see a forge off with the primarchs "forged in fire anyone?"
I think a forged in fire would be a great Warhammer + thing to do.
So Vulkan's basic armor dwarfed Horus's Terminator armor.
Would Vulkan's Terminator Armor make him bigger than a dreadnought?
It sucks ferrus was killed so early i hope his ghost returns again like during the seige.
Ferrus is one of the first found sons. If the Emperor was testing him in any way, I personally believe it would be a test for the role of Warmaster.
Love it WLR
Dang you spoon feeding us but I love your stuff can't wait for the next vid
Hey man I really love your videos especially about the primarchs and I'd like to ask as a Mortarion fan myself, could you be able to make a video of Mortarion, specifically Mortarion before and maybe during the heresy because I'm really interested how he interacted with his brothers. Thank you for all your hard work you put in these videos.
I agree Mortarion needs some love on the channel!
What kind of heresy could there be for the emperor to admit that he himself needed to intervene
You should have more subs. Keep up the good work.
I hope we get more of any of the Primarchs with their father and/or brothers.
We will raise our hands above us, cold steel shining in the sun
Ferrus spine is 100% cracked during their first meeting
MOAR PRIMARCH AND EMPEROR INTERACTIONS! MOOOAR!!!
Of all the Primarchs, i think Ferrus best understood and accepted who he was, and what he was created to do. He had no time for daddy issues or bullshit. He was created to lead armies, smash stuff and conquer a galaxy for the Emperor. He trusted the Emperor to handle the rest. He did the job he was created to do without questions or complaint. That's why the Emperor favored him.
Would really love a fight scene with the emporer and all the primarchs fighting together against some enemy. Would be super cool but prolbely unlikely as it would be overkill.
I want to see more interactions between Vulkan and Ferrus, before he became an unfriendly brain ghost.
Ferrus AND Vulkan BUILT A PSY TITAN IN A CAVE!... WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!!
Imagine what dorn, perterabo, vulkan, and ferrus could build together. They would make a fortress that couldnt be invaded, defenses that would never cease, and seige engines that would never falter. What a waste of such talent....
The two Great Smiths assessing each other with the Emperor as a mediator 👍🤔
WLR, you have brought me back into the 40k fold. I enjoy your videos so very much. I have even started reading the books (Titanicus finish, and now reading the first Heretic), and playing. Titanicus made me want a Knight and Ad Mach Army. Then your video aboutLion El Johnson meeting Guillimen on McCragge, and I want a DA Army. Your going to cost me money and make lie to my wife 😂
Thank you for the support! I’m glad you are enjoying the books! 😊
Masters of the forges meet
My usual comment to help. Cheers
Dunno why but I got huge vibes of Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-One Kenobi with the Emperor talking to feris there. Maybe the description of his sword catching fight made me think of light Sabres but you can just see them doing a Jedi leap down a cliff edge after that
It's definitely not you. I've actually checked my subscription feed to make sure I hadn't missed any of the story time with Rho videos.
oh shit, they're also my favourite primarchs!
is there any way you could scrounge up as much lore on Ferrus i know so little of him.
I always thought that ferrus and vulkan where pretty close.
Hey wolf lord rho. Are you going to upload those songs you got a while back? You mentioned at the end of the video you would sometime lol I love the sons of the emperor track
Vulcan the Lord of Drake's the fire born :)
Ahhh the 10th Legion, literally the best thing about them... their biology... they see as weakness and replace with bionics crafted by people who think making tech zombies with science and flying robotic babies is ok
The more I hear about Ferris the more he grows on me
Ferrus: "You are weeeaaak Vulkan."
Vulkan:"shud up ya big skhosfaced idiot,you are no friend!" xD
Vulkan, Ferrus and Perturabo (and maybe Dorn) could have held the imperial palace against all the traitor legions and some more.
I was expecting a conversation between the two praimarcs.
How different 40k may be if people remembered Emp's line about life not being so cheap.
When are you going to make audio books for us to buy
*Vulkan looks at the comment section*
Greeting imperial citizens! You are all friends!
(Proceeds to crush comments section in the greatest of Hugs)
I agree Wolf Lord Rho thaht we shuld see more of ferrus manus he has samoe bad writing on him but love you work pls cont bey :)
Holy Emperor bring back Vulkan already
The Emperor is evaluating who will be Warmaster so he keeps Farrus on the sidelines
"BROTHAAAAA....!"
What if.... Vulcan is the son the Emperor wants on the throne when he passes the torch? Vulcan is unique in that he cares about building, repairing, and people. Vulcan isn't a blood thirty mutant like the wolves, vampires, and wizards. He isn't as callous as some of the others. Guillemon would seem like the most logical choice with his skill set and abilities to coordinate and magistrate.
They need to bring Vulkan back next...
Pretty sure Vulcan created strong bonds with most of his brothers.
