Dan Abnett on the Horus Heresy

[furysdrummer]

Dan abnett I love you, in a totally non gay way! keep em coming

[therealCharlieChill]

bring Loken back !

[meat1cleaver]

All hail Dan Abnett.

[IvO09]

btw Dan Abnett, You're books are awesome, and one of my favorite authors in the Horus Heresy, but please write a little bit more about Sanginious, and Sigmusind (First Champion of the Black Templars) if possible because they play such a major part in deffending the imperium later on

[IvO09]

Loken is alive, and has gone mad while fighting nurglings on.. Nathaniel Garro recovers him to become part of the first Grey Knights. You can listen to the story in the book "Legion of One" ^^

[thaoval123]

either side of the doorway... OMG

[SombreroKing100]

Chuck Norris over the Emperor?

HERESY

[myowngenesis]

@SombreroKing100 dude, Chuck's gonna be frozen and then unfrozen 20 000 years later, go through extensive surgeries to enhance his metabolism, brainsurgery to enhance his pschycic potential and eventually take his rightful place as the Emperor of mankind. By then he will of course have forgotten that he's Chuck. So it doesn't really matter.

[myowngenesis]

Thanks for this video. Informative for a diehard fan

kudos=)

[lamogio047]

something about the alpha legion Dan, it has been said in texts that Alpharius and Omegon are normal when it comes to compairing them to another primarch and the way they achieved their subterfuge skills was the fact that their astartes were being bread to become the tallest of all legion reducing the height difference between astartes and primarchs

[Kingofturves]

Celestia is the Emperor!

[Foreshadow44]

I think the emperor should turn out to be a trans-sexual who loves his own twin transsexual. Drink that up for a second and think about it. Then the emperor turns out to be of French heritage (40k is an English game so that is what you think it is), and he loves lady Gaga as his/her favorite singer. Your welcome for the thoughts.

[Novasky2007]

Awesomesauce indeed...

[Thrashershockey16]

Nice Conan reference as well!

[Quizerno]

Just rediscovered my copy of "Horus Rising." And have loved re-reading every bit of it.

Afterwhich I typed Horus Heresy into youtube to see what I would find, and I found this. I can't be happier.

[nickjujitsu]

I was just wondering where my axe had gone...

[KiddyFidler23]

Im so glad that i was alive to read the Horus Hersey the first book i read was horus rising and have been hooked ever since. For the Warmaster!

[jjasperchan]

i dont see how dan abnett interviews dont have 100million+ views : /

[SinsofVadam]

Chuck Norris IS the Emperor.

[godmathias]

@SinsofVadam Chuck Norris Is the Emperor's lapdog.

[thaoval123]

around 2:50 ... if you didnt read about alpharius b4 hes just given a huge spoiler!

[RandomStandardGuy]

The Emperor vs. Chuck Norris question is pretty presumptuous in that it assumes that they are definitely not one and the same person.

I Know I sure as hell haven't seen them both in the same room.

[tim09123]

I think the emperor fore saw his death, why would he have rogal dorn come back to terra to fortify the imperial palace after all what alien force would be able to gather the strength to defeat terra?

[MrLaughingcorpse2]

@tim09123 because he was building a webway portal in his basement and he wanted it fortified while he did that in case of xenos finding out

[Einherjar212]

NOBODY EXPECTS THE SP-- ALPHA LEGION!

[3ch056]

WTH, the real name of the Emperor?? XD

[lysander1]

holy hell u have so may awesome geeky references in this vid!!

[Roger0Czerwonobrody]

My guess is that the Alpha Legion willb be responsible for lowering da shields for da emperor to teleport onto Horus's barge.

[Obraxes]

haha 3mins in and i just niticed the Millenium Falcon :)

[drogonaut2012]

Nice axe

[elvinbloodgod]

i have noticed that most if not all of the people that work at blacklibrary come from the uk

[jboweruk]

@elvinbloodgod Well it is a British company...

[conordabeaver3]

@elvinbloodgod thats because games workshop originated in the uk lol and also uk rights are awesome :P

[Reishyn]

Nice Monty Python reference.

[billyboyjennings]

The Emperor's real name is Betty.

[nesteph]

@billyboyjennings BLASPHEMY!!!!!

[SvitjodsWarrior]

Dan abnett, You are one amazing whriter, love your work man.

[ryakugo12]

nice conan quote dan.

[TheFellblade]

Dan says he's mentioned the name of the next HH book before, anybody know what it is?

[I0770]

@TheFellblade

Prospero Burns

[DeltaSquad451]

And on your "the Emperor will show up as a character that we can at least read about not worship" comment; The First Heretic made a HUGE statement against the Emperor and his abilities. Will we get to see some sort of counterbalance?

[DeltaSquad451]

Garviel Loken rules. MAKE HIM CHAPTER MASTER FOR THE BLOOD RAVENS!!! And that'll be why the Black Legion hates the BR.

I'm also putting this forth; The BR have a lot of librarians because of 4-loko, and you all know it to be true.

[MacKnight]

@DeltaSquad451 I more suspect that Blood Ravens are Thousand Sons.

[TheFallenPrimus]

@MacKnight There's a Theory that they are derived from The Thousand Sons gene-seed, they supposedly copied and modified their gene-seed (Before the Heresy) and left the new altered material on Mars to create new Space Marine Chapters.

[Lanparth]

@MacKnight

Thousand Sons, Black Legion, or Word Bearers are really the only candidates.

[MacKnight]

@Lanparth First 2, i would agree, Word Bearers? Not likely.

[Lanparth]

@MacKnight

Its just due to Dark Crusade and Eliphas constantly remarking to them as "Brothers" in a rather cryptic way. It holds the least evidence, I never said it was the most likely.

For instance, there is 0 chance they are Emperor's Children, Death Guard, Iron Warriors, Night Lords, or World Eaters.

Those 3 are the only ones there is a chance of them being, Thousand Sons the most, Black Legion the second, and Word Bearers the third. Literally or the order in which I wrote them ;)

[MacKnight]

@Lanparth All the legions before the heresy called eachothers brothers, so i doubt it still.

I agree with your ranking there, Thousand Sons first and Black Legion second.

But I doubt Word Bearers, for many reasons.

1. They didnt have abnormal psyckers in their ranks.

2. Word Bearers were fanaticaly loyal to their primarch. Their entire legion turned or killed even before the heresy had started.

3. Thousand Sons didnt turn willingly, And some of their legion wasent on Prospero when it fell.

[Lanparth]

@MacKnight

Its not the entire Legion, and some of them do express some level of doubt. As I said, I'm not saying its them, I personally doubt it as well, but there is a small chance of that being true.

Also, the Blood Ravens use many sayings that the Word Bearers do as well.

[MacKnight]

@Lanparth What sayings? Blood Ravens use the sayings of the Thousand Sons.

''Knowledge is Power. Guard it Well''

[Lanparth]

@MacKnight

An Open mind is like a fortress with its gates left unbarred and unguarded.

There is one or two others, and Knowledge is Power is another popular one for the Word Bearers as well >.>

[Avatar230594]

@MacKnight they are very similar read the "Blood Ravens Omnibus" By CS GOTO. I just finished it 2 Days Ago. A lot of similarities.

[Romanerro]

The Emperor protects you, Dan Abnett.

[nxps1]

No one expects the Alpha Legion!

[Xhalax2007]

Yay for Sanguinius and DEATH TO GARVIEL LOKEN!

[JEKAZOL]

Grow a skullet and then I'll consider ye a Viking.
