Ungggg, so good. Just when baldermort is doing short videos and aborder Prince is just streaming legions, I find this channel. Tbh, just commenting to up your engagement though so it'll show in the recommended for more people.
Ahzek used to be a chill guy, but as with many of the champions of the traitor legions, bitterness twisted him into an asshole. His transformation just began a little sooner than most. Nikea was an utter shitshow, and that’s coming from an Iron Hand.
as a representative of the sons of magnus we thank you for agreeing that Nikea was fucked, we offer condolences for your lost father in return, All is Dust cousin.
Nikea was more than a crap show; it was an utter and cruel betrayal which Ahriman felt most keenly. The novel A Thousand Sons so far has to be one of my favorite Horus Heresy books, probably tied with The First Heretic, which is a brilliant book. A Thousands Sons had me in tears by the end. I love Ahriman so much, and Magnus to an extent. For me, they’re the most tragic of the characters in the Heresy series. I have a list I’ve gathered so far of my favorites of which Magnus and Ahriman are a part. As they say: “The road to Hell is paved with good intentions” their flaws are what makes these two characters fascinating to me. I just started The Crimson King and loving it so far. I wish to offer my condolences to you, my Iron Hand cousin, for the sad, tragic death of your primarch Ferrus Manus.
The story of Magnus is really a tragic one,had the imperium listened to Magnus and studied the warp instead of keeping on the hush maybe the Horus heresy could of been avoided. Funny thing is now the imperium has “ librarians” in each legion. So psykers are cool as long as Magnus isn’t doing it. If I’m Magnus I’m pissed in the 41st millennium.
The tragedy of Magnus isn't that no one listened to him. He probably knew the emperor best even though he wasn't the first primarch to be reunited with their creator. Both he and the emperor were of the same accord in wanting the human race to become a psychic race. The issue was the emperor knew humanity wasn't yet mature enough to be impervious to the corruption of power. Through the warp a man can take a fast path to power and the denizens of the warp will take advantage of their greed. The tragedy of Magnus through his own admission is that he had the hubris to believe he could master the "ocean" of the warp and realized too late that their were far cleverer entities in the immaterium that could manipulate even him.
The Horus Heresy was created to give a reason for Titans to fight each other in a new game. GW couldn't afford to have multiple moulds made, so a random thing that grew into Horus Heresy was born.
I'd love to see one of these for Iskandar Khayon, the Lord Vigilator of the Black Legion. He's right up there with Ahriman as far as power goes, but has been neglected by 40k Loremasters for some reason, apart from that OneMindSyndicate but he puts zero effort in and just reads word for word from the wiki. This is some good work dude, I think you could do him justice
I’ll have to look him up to see if I have any Chaos books on my wish list. There’s some interesting characters amongst the Chaos Space Marines. I feel their stories are important too
Does the lore really say his birthplace was Southeast Asia? I always assumed the Archaemenid Empire of 40k would have been centered in or near what is today approximately Iran, like the historical Archaemenids. Plus, Ahriman is a figure from Zoroastrianism, an originally Persian religion. Being an empire I suppose the Terran Archaemenids could have spread to Southeast Asia, but that would be quite a trek, especially since I remember there's already lore about pan-Pacific and Indonesian factions around there.
I think it is because in the time of 30k ish the map of terra looks completely different. All the land masses and oceans are kind of messed up. The exact location is conflicting in different sources but I suspect you hit the nail on the head. I’m actually going to do a remastered on Ahriman and definitely think I am going to mention some of the history you have just said. Thank you!
From what I've read the ethnic origins of those born on Terra is something like this: Ahzek Ahriman = Iran Kharn The Betrayer = Russia Shadrak Meduson = Britain Nathaniel Garro = Britain Fabius Bile = France Sigismund = Germany Kydomor Forrix = Brazil
I like how you title the chapters of your storytelling. It's kind of a reflection of the legion lore... divided into chapters because each has a tale to tell. I am a new to the hobby. Bought myself the indominus box and lots of paint and began my journey. I love the story, it tells a very human story of love and loss, tragedy and family ties despite or maybe because of personality flaws... good job AK, you are as good as all your brothers telling WH40k stories... ABP...Luetin... Lord Ro... Arch... and more..🤺
I’m going to lie, but Ahriman’s story really tears me up. I love him so much. Thank you so much, Amber King. I recently found your channel thanks to watching the Astartes Anon video on Magnus on Trial where you guested. It’s become one of my favorites on that channel and my go-to if I need a good laugh. The reading recommendations you give at the end of the video I have on my to-be-read list. I’ll probably read those after I experience the Horus Heresy series. There’s so many great stories as well outside the main line HH series.
All the Emperor has to do is reach out to Magnus and have a heart to heart . I understand now you were never a traitor magnus even now deep down you are the most loyal son a father could ask fo. Back the I was blind and rash I should have listened to you about Horus and so I forgive you magnus for all your transgressions pass and present and I want to apologize for sending the Space wolves after you forcing you into the position you have found yourself in. I wish to give the same offer I did 10,000 years ago if you turn away form chaos and come back to the imperium I will publicly restore you and the whole 1000 sons back to glory even non of your sons will be purged. If Magnus accepted the best way to redeem himself is to take the Emperors place on the golden thrown freeing the master of Mankind allowing him to regenerate his body being a perpetual. For there with two powerful psycher the Vebway project can be continued sitting on the thrown Magnus and his now loyalist 1000 sons legion would keep the daemons at bay leaving the emperor regenerated and more stronger free to stabilizes the webway and rebuild the collapsed structures until the Terran gateway is strong enough to keep the never born out permanently.
Jago Sevatar and Ahzek Ahriman are two of my favorite characters and you've done videos for both! This is awesome! Keep up the good work. As an aside, I would recommend doing the narration at normal conversation speed for future videos. Not complaining though, because the lore you cover is fantastic.
I played this at x1.25 speed and it works out perfectly. That aside... Really enjoyable. Good atmosphere, good research, good reading. Bump this dude with likes and shit. Next character maybe Lucius, or Luther ?
Othere: "I make destiny, yes? Wyrdmake." Ahriman: "Wha..." Othere: "You wish to hear words, I make you believe, yes?" Ahriman: "But.. you lied, betrayed us all. I trusted you!" Othere: "You claim is library-card man, cannot discern my name in plain sight. I say you is chief illiteratearian." Ahriman: *"Phack you, barbarian gutterdog!"* Othere: "BWAHAHA.... I hear spirits barking laughter too." _Tzeentch: Another step made, another brick laid. Easy._
I really enjoy the 15th legion, I find it funny though that Ahriman ended up doing what Magnus did to save his legion. Overreaching. Traitor legion or otherwise, they are cool.
Nice! Raining outside, no work in the rain!- figures to build & paint and a bunch of great lore videos to listen to! For me its a beautiful day! Thanks
Mugly Punt Ok Im starting to really enjoy your content but I must ask why are you talking so slowly? Like I get it your going for the creepy pasta style of story building but I think it's generally think it's doing you a disservice

Baldie does long videos about once a week or twice a week. He just doesn't always have time to write stories.

Yeah it pissed me off "here in going to engineer you to be super curious and warp sensitive... But ban you from exploring it".. The Emperor is a jerk
Or...Lorgar
@@HowlFromBeyond the Emperor also made deals with the ruinous powers...

"spits" fucking one mind syndicate
Right??? Love khayon, my fave CSM. He's very important too, and has a lot of "protagonist" elements that make him fascinating, especially as a csm.
I’ll have to look him up to see if I have any Chaos books on my wish list. There’s some interesting characters amongst the Chaos Space Marines. I feel their stories are important too
Just finished the Ahriman omnibus, glad I found your channel.
I am reading though it now and it’s fantastic. I’m gonna re-make/ remaster this video because Ahriman deserves better.
Dude is my favorite character. Idk how I just stumbled across this
Does the lore really say his birthplace was Southeast Asia?

From what I've read the ethnic origins of those born on Terra is something like this:
Ahzek Ahriman = Iran
Kharn The Betrayer = Russia
Shadrak Meduson = Britain
Nathaniel Garro = Britain
Fabius Bile = France
Sigismund = Germany
Kydomor Forrix = Brazil
Excellent work again dude!! Ahriman has always been one of my favorite characters
I’m a big fan too, I think I will remake this video in the future like my Fulgrim one. Definitely deserves a longer better version.
Achamenid empire was a Persian empire
Ahriman is actually is a persian name for the devil in zoroastrian culture as a being of darkness,chaos and the source of humanity's confusion.
Thank you for this! I am going to remaster this video in the future and I am definitely going to research this connection more.
There is no doubt that many things in 40k are inspired by Zoroastrianism, exciting culture and religion Persia had.
@@kimmogensen4888 zoroastrianism does still exist,just not as much as it used to be unfortunately.
This was so epic. Loved every second of it. And Fantastic narration!
Edit: where can I find the artwork at 46:10?

Ooo.. New lore channel.. Nice presentation .. Although you need to tweak your mic levels a bit.. You sound a bit muffled
I’m looking forward to his journey to Commoragh

Great channel my dude, illove your vids
Yvraine throwing Ahriman’s newly restored Rubric brothers in the Warp away from him was such a shit move.

He already did that
I feel bad for no finding you sooner

Thank you, this Ahriman video is one of the early ones so the audio quality/ delivery wasn’t the best but luckily more recent stuff is better I hope.
Put it at 1.5 speed the narration is better.
Loving this channel
I thought Arhiman was what in our time be called a Turk or Iraqi?
Ahriman means devil in persian besides he is persian and he was born in persia
Who dares to downvote the Amber King and Why? Get me the Inquisitor General.

I feel you are going a little slow.. Playing at 1.25 feels a little less dragged out
This is well made can't believe I've just found it.
You could maybe speed up the narration is my only criticism otherwise, you got a new sub.
Thank you. Luckily I have speed up since this video so hopefully my other content is too your liking.
Playback speed up a notch is much better,, great work 🤗
yes 1.25 speed :)
I feel so bad for the Thousand Sons and Magnus. Yes they turned to Chaos, but really can you blame them?
Blame them? No they are all victims frankly, blame Magnus for his own fate and what he ended up inflicting on humanity? Oh yes.
He is my favourite black character next to Vulkan.
Legit channel. I know you are up NEXT!
I played this at x1.25 speed and it works out perfectly.
That aside...
Really enjoyable. Good atmosphere, good research, good reading.
Bump this dude with likes and shit.
Next character maybe Lucius, or Luther ?
Thank you so much.
glad I scrolled down, this is an invaluable hack

Nikea was a show trial, and Olthayr was a dirty Quisling!
Fantastic work, buddy. Really good.
King in amber, do you think there's enough meat on the bone to give us a video on leman Russ?
Just found the channel, awesome video quality and love the subjects chosen so far
Thank you very much. Are there any other topics you would like to see?
It’s pronounced weird make, not word make
Othere: "I make destiny, yes? Wyrdmake."
Ahriman: "Wha..."
Othere: "You wish to hear words, I make you believe, yes?"
Ahriman: "But.. you lied, betrayed us all. I trusted you!"

Cheers fella, under appreciated
comment for the alrgorythm, loremaster
Well done. Hope you get more followers.
Really good.
Subscribed, liked, comment for algorithm. Maybe lower the background volume a little. Sometimes hard to hear.
I really enjoy the 15th legion, I find it funny though that Ahriman ended up doing what Magnus did to save his legion. Overreaching. Traitor legion or otherwise, they are cool.
Nice! Raining outside, no work in the rain!- figures to build & paint and a bunch of great lore videos to listen to! For me its a beautiful day! Thanks
If only the links of the songs used were listed….
Anyways excellent lore video brother.
Fantastic video
🤯🤯🤯sooo good!
Another great one
Top
After speeding up the video to 1.75 nice job. I seriously thought I had accidentally set vids to half speed though😜
Yeah a bit sluggish isn't it
You speak waaaay too slowly, but the video is really really great though.
Thank you, I think you’re definitely right. I’m learning as I go and I’m gonna try and get a better balance between pace and atmosphere.
@@TheAmberKing I think you will find it soon. All the rest is good !
@@TheAmberKing I demand you be perfect from the very start. How dare you?!
This is amazing. Well done!
Speed 1.5 is perfect , good work
Amazing work! I learned a lot!
Bro good work but I would suggest a slight speed up in your diction.
Man that was awesome

Ok Im starting to really enjoy your content but I must ask why are you talking so slowly? Like I get it your going for the creepy pasta style of story building but I think it's generally think it's doing you a disservice
Magnus unfortunately, did plenty wrong
I'm confused...so, is all Thousand Sons armour blue?
Red before the horus heresy Blue after
He killed his cat for it knew too much.lmao...precious
What was the name of magnuses cat? Does anyone know?I could do a fan fiction on this.
