Lucius is known as "Fulgrim's champion" and seems to at the very least still respect him as his genefather and sire. Ahriman is often at odds with Magnus, but made peace with him before the burning of Fenris. Kharn still honors Angron as his primarch and leader, following Angron during the Arks of Omen campaign. The only champion that truly despises his genefather and looks down on him is Typhus
Lucius the pitiful, eternally cursed to never truly rise above those who can best him. Kahrne the kinslayer, truest son of the Red Angel. Typhus the betrayer, who sacrificed his entire Legion. Ahriman the Chosen, chosen indeed by Tzeentsch and chosen to fail.
The Heralds of Four Chaos Gods may be the favorite champions of their own patron gods, but make no mistake that they are little more than a source of food and entertainment for them, and once they prove to be useless or no longer worthy of them they will be replaced by others that catch their eyes.

*T H E F O U R H O R S E M E N* *O F C H A O S* Lucius The Eternal: Death Kharn The Betrayer: War Typhus the Traveller: Pestilence Ahriman The Exile: Conquest
You know, Typhus is technically closer to Daemonhood than most of the other Heralds. Besides Lucius, but still. Typhus is beyond mortality, ascended to a being befitting Nurgle. Indeed, while Slaanesh might eventually let Lucius die for good… Typhus’ condition shall ever prevent his own end.
The story of the thousand sons is kinda sad, they were trying to warn the emperor, and didn't know shit about his experiment going on...and they were punished for trying to warn him...
Kharn is easily my favorite. An unstoppable warrior that was SO CLOSE to killing Erebus. It would be interesting to see Lucius and Kharn get into a fight and see who wins.
@@RevolverRho He literally feels joy/relief in killing in general. Lucius no doubt would be a good fight, giving him a good feeling and thus finding himself on the receiving end of the curse of the eternal.
Leave it to The Remembrancer to awaken some shred of empathy for these 4. And to fix my brain after the flood of AI crap from that false prophet Imp It. (I dare not speak the name of that evil.)
Ik, ahriman, typus, kharn, and lucius are the hearlds of the each of the chaos gods but there is in my opinion a 5th Herald......Abaddon the Despoiler hearold of all 4 chaos gods and of the soon to be 5th chaos god Vashtorr the Arkifane!
I think my favorite line in any Black Library book is "as they fell to the floor [Tarvitz] pistoned his fist into his former comrades face." Seriously Lucius is so overrated. Like he gets his ass kicked so much his signature ability (or rather his patrons signature ability since it has nothing to do with any sort of skill on Lucius part) revolves around his LOSING. Dudes inability to learn from his mistakes and put his hubris aside is exactly why he's NEVER gonna be the greatest duelist in the setting lol.
@@AltoStratusX1I find that compelling from a characterization standpoint, though. The Emperor's Children are all a bunch of idiotic, drug addled, high and mighty ravagers, they're too entrenched in the present moment to care about improving. That may not make for an incredibly intimidating villain, but it makes for a really interesting character with a lot of potential.
@@andyroobrick-a-brack9355sometimes the most hated characters are rhe best written, because they were intended to spark hate and succeed tremendously. Erebus and Lucius are prime examples. Only annoying thing with Lucius is sometimes another good character will stand before him, so it really is a loose in terms of who to root for as audience.
Oh, i am late to notice this one, thanks Rem. The Emperor's Children died with Istvaan III tho tbh, these chaos marines are just Fulgrim's Failures at this point (they seem to be content in the warp tho, where are they in the current setting?)
So what if a Necron Deathmark shoots Lucius? Deathmarks can't feel anything, and they're definitely capable of killing Astartes. Even if the soulless assassin felt something, can Lucius even regrow from a necrodermis body?
It's a possibility that they could still end up becoming Lucius, but even if they don't, there's other shenanigans at play because Slaanesh likes their playthings. So long as they haven't gotten bored of him, he'll come back. Might go up a level to whatever created the deathmark, or whoever placed the hunter's mark on Lucius. Even if they don't feel pride, any minute sense of satisfaction could potentially work. The only real limit is just whoever is writing the scene. A potential scenario could be something like having loyalist, chaos, and Necron forces all on the same world, with Lucius fighting alongside chaos marines. Loyalist astartes needs a way to kill Lucius, comes up with the idea of luring him into the sights of a group of Deathmarks who for some reason have been dispatched by their Nemesor to clean up any groups of astartes that get separated. One lands a killing shot on Lucius. The marine that came up with the plan feels a small amount of relief that the plan worked, evening the odds a bit, only to be the seed that Lucius then comes back from. Or the Nemesor that ordered the Deathmarks out is watching the ongoing fights and, having viewed the marine forces as honorable in some way, feels pride not necessarily in the Deathmarks themselves but rather in the superiority of Necrons over their adversaries. That could possibly be enough for Lucius to come back from. And, even if all that doesn't work, all it takes is Slaanesh deciding to just bring him back anyway in some other manner. Could say that he stays dead for a few centuries until another cocky swordslinger comes along and performs a feat that would be worthy of Slaanesh's attention. They're given the Laer Blade which sends them down a path of fast corruption and Lucius is reborn once again like the undying cockroach that he is.
@@floki8382 that. Is equally interesting as it is horrifying. Personally I just hope Lucius gets his ass kicked into the void, preferably by Angron, and never returns. The reason for it having to be Angron is simply me assuming Khorne won't let his second favourite toy turn into a slaaneshi degenerate.
According to some sources, Lucius has come back from a necron due to the "cold satisfaction" it felt from the victory. He's taken over a factory worker who made a mine because the worker felt pride in his job, and because he built a mine that killed Lucius, he got trapped in the armor. Lucius is my least favorite character in 40K for this reason.
@@locksmith898 Okay hypothetical #2: What if he ends up getting got by another Daemon, preferably a Nurgle one seeing as Grandfather has a habit of getting in Slaani's way. Can a Daemon regrow from another Daemon? Or would Nurgle's influence over his kin keep the influence of other gods at bay?
@@shoulderpyro Does said daemon feel any...ANY sense of pride or satisfaction or good feeling towards killing Lucius? If they do, they are gonna get absorbed into the armor
You know, as a real life devotee of everything Slaanesh represents, I'm sad that the Herald of Slaanesh is that piece of shit Lucius. He's one of my least favorite 40K characters.
@@jtmartin1170 Yep, a real and legitimate cult sounds like a great remedy against fictitious cults in equally fictitious universes - which at bottom line are a deliberate parody of people like you and the associated mindset driving them in the first place. Ironically the cosmology of 40K cooked up by a collective of writers over roughly 30 years in fact turns out to be more coherent and consistent than christianity, at least to anyone who actually read the bible and tried to understand what exactly they are reading there.
While the concept of Kharn is interesting, if he is good why has he not ascended to deamonhood? Also Lucious was finally killed my Eisenhorn via a vindicare assassin who Eisinhorn then slew to ensure he could not return.
Mortal servants of the chaos gods overall have much more influence on the mortal realm than demon princes. Demon princes require huge amounts of warp energy and complicated rituals to be brought into the material realm, while mortal servants can come and go from the warp as they please
Motarion hates Nurge and wanted nothing more than being free from him. Angron is a useful battering ram. That is about it. Not sure he has anything else in there other than rage and desire to kill. Hell, even Kabanda may have clearer mind than him most of the time. Fulrim...😂 What is he doing now? Magnus... He is just another pawn on the Table. Bigger than most but still a pawn.
That would detract from the amusement the Gods get from them. As mortals, they constantly generate entertainment and chaotic energy that they can use to empower themselves. Make them into Daemon Princes and not only does that diminish their capacity for creative thinking and, therefore, showmanship, but it also massively depletes the god they’re being blessed by, taking _away_ power instead of _getting_ it, which none of the Gods wants, since it would put them all at a disadvantage in the Great Game.
@brya9681 just because custodes are prideful doesn't mean valdor would take pride in killing lucius. Do you think a space marine would take pride in killing a guardsman? If not then why would valdor take pride in killing lucius as it's basically the same thing to him
I love that I can be truly disappointed by a fictional story. The Horus Heresy got me pissed off at every turn!; I mean this in a entertainment way. Gripping tales of triumph and betrayal that make me feel as if I was there myself. Glad I'm not though!! Nope!!
Lucius would probably die eternally if he meets sharrowkyn again... but the writers will just revive him anyway in some way, it makes him like abaddon the spoiled, just being there because they cannot replace him with something better (Huron is a good candidate but the loremakers would probably just stick to Abadon the Spoiled) 😅
Would love if ONE warganner creator didn't use the voice. Just spoke about lore in a normal and human way. I hate that every lore channel speaks as though they're literally in the universe. It's SO much worse than it could be.

Two things all four have in common is that they are not primarchs and they all came to despise their gene sire that as astartes they venerated.
Lucius doesn't hate Fulgrim, he hardly even thinks about him.
