    I'll have to give this one to Angron, purely because Russ has no concept of manscaping

    Getting a video about each of the pre heresy primarchs getting put in Guillimans situation in the current imperium and seeing how they react and rule would be pretty cool ngl

    One really underrated thing about Night of the Wolves is how it shows the character of Russ and the Space Wolves and how positive it is. Russ is a Barbarian King. with the Emphisis on KING, He may be a brash blunt cudgel of a Primarch, but he is possibly the most HUMAN of the Primarchs, it is easy to understand him, and hate him or admire him for his faults and successes. But it's the King aspect of him that really shines through, he lead his Legion not as a demi-god or some uncaring General, but a King who valued his men and their thoughts. If Russ fell to Angron then, they Wolves would have not faltered, they would have been driven to avenge their fallen king, and it may have taken hundreds of Space Wolves to do so, eventually the Space Wolves would have brought down Angron. That is what makes Space Wolves so great, they're the most Human Chapter, while not the most benevolent like the Salamanders, they are still Human, with all the bad and good.

    Honestly, I legit think that Russ lost the night of the wolf. He sacrificed loyal soldiers to teach a lesson to someone who wasn't listening.

    Yup Majorkill just read Betrayer. It's so interesting how he's going through the whole HH series book by book.

    I respect Leman’s choice to actually fucking do something about the Butcher’s Nails unlike everyone else. It’s just that he wasn’t the best man for convincing Angron, then again nobody besides The Emperor and maybe Sanguinius probably could’ve done it without killing him or being forced to call off their siege.

    I would say it is a problem that Russ didn't kill Angron, as it was Angron that severely wounded Sanguinius right before he joined the assault on the Vengeful Spirit. If Sanguinius wasn't wounded so badly, he have have been able to rewrite his fate and survive the confrontation with Horus.

    It wasn't a good idea to send Angron to his legion in the first place. What was the emperor's thinking?

  • @rankothefiremage
    @rankothefiremage Рік тому +57

    The Emperor made 2 grand mistakes that over shadow all the others, Allowing Angron to spread the nails (as well as forcing him to leave his fellows to die), and not cluing Magnus in on the world Chaos God problem / webway project (not to mention baring the use of psyker powers, he should have allowed the 1k Suns to keep using them as that's their thing).

    Never understood why Big E didn’t just teleport some of Angrons friends to turn into astartes like some of the other primarchs. Would have saved him alot of trouble, or idk just kill the army surrounding Angrons forces.

    A video on malcadors relationship with each primarch would be cool

    I'm glad to see Majorkill covering this. Its a great story. While I generally agree that a lot of people basically lost here, if I had to choose one, I'd say Angron won. For a few reasons. Ultimately, Russ lost the physical engagement. The fight ended with Russ crawling away from Angron, spitting up blood after just having Angron's boot literally on his throat. That's a loss. If Angron was genuinely intent on killing his brother, he could have in that moment.

    Can we get one of those primarch character deep dives on corvus corax?
