More like, the "The Horus Heresy in 1 minute".

"The Imperium is nothing if not willing to go to any lengths necessary. So the Trekkies are zipping around at warp speed taking small chucks out of an nigh-on infinite amount of ships, with the Imperium being unable to strike back. feth it, says central command, and detonates every vortex warhead in the fleet, plunging the entire sector into the Warp. Enjoy tentacle-rape, Kirk, we know Sulu will." -Terminus

"This great fortress was a gift to the Blood Ravens from the legendary Imperial Fists. When asked about it Chapter Master Pugh was reported to say: "THEY TOOK WHAT!?""

Grrr it's fluff dang it! FLUFF!

Lore just sounds so... full of itself.

That being said, that was pretty darn cool.

is it just me or is there a few errors in this?
1. horus dropped his shield to allow the emperor to beam aboard as a challenge
2. the emperor killed horus after he slaughtered a human and he saw how far horus had fallen
3. the emperor diddent shoot/stab horus he annhialated him, body and soul via a psychic blast through a kink in his armour which sanguinius created, having his soul obliterated is why he hasent been ressurected as there is nothing left of him
4. the emperor doesnt have 1000 people sacrificed to him a day, 1000 psychers are killed keepin the astronomican running as the strain of amplifying the emperors mind overwhelms them.
correct me if any of these are wrong.

Totally agree.

Fluff is like "yeah, just sprinkle me into conversation and your games. No biggie"

Lore is like... "K, I want to be taken srsly. So liek, yeah"

That was cool. I like when horus died from mind bullets. Nice animation there.

Ha-ha, it's a nice tidy fun thing. I'm hurt that Sanguinius' contribution, Emporer would have had his butt kick if he wasn't softened up. His review of Space Marine is good. his visceral reaction to that first combat I can totally identify with.

The HH is the basis for the 40k universe, not knowing the HH means you won't understand 40k.

That was retconned away some number of years ago. Poor Ollanius Pius, he doesn't even exist anymore.

"'players must agree how they are going to select their armies, and if any restrictions apply to the number and type of models they can use."

This is an actual rule in the actual rulebook. Quit whining about how you can imagine someone's army touching you in a bad place and play by the actual rules.

Took me a minute to recognize the name, but then I remembered. You may want to read 'Know No Fear', if you think Ollanius was retconned out!

I'm giving this thread a bump against my good judgement of thread necromancy. But I still think this is cool and if new people haven't seen it, it's a great little video. I was going to just post a new thread, but I would rather give credit to the OP.
