My personal favourite Primarch is Vulkan the Lord of Drakes so I really wanted to make sure this was done right, even commissioning so music just to get the right feel for the journey of this character. Unfortunatly Primarch video's do take longer to make because I think they are some of the most well written characters in the Lore and I hope to do that justice. The books I researched are, The Unremembered Empire, Vulkan lives, Fury of Magnus and a number of others that I would highly recommend. Let me know what you guys think or who you would like to see next? Thank you so much for watching! Lastly....... Vulkan lives!! Stomp Stomp!!
Lord amber king. Donyou have a discord I wanted to ask you a. Question. If you don't mind
No discord yet unfortunately, if you have any questions you can just pop it here in the comments or my email on the about page of the channel. Hope this helps.
Recently found ure channel amazing what pops up in my lists. You are fast becoming a favourite for 40k lore keep up the work I look forward to your channel getting bigger and bigger
Cheers man, I appreciate it.

The Amber King Presents: *VULAKN* Lord of Drakes
It is you, good sir, who made me spit my water lol. Great work though, I'm in.
Eldar: I fear no mon-keigh, but that thing..
*points to Vulkan*
Vulkan: you are not friend.
Eldar: it scares me.
Damnit I can only read Vulkan's line in that damned Jamaican accent. Lol.
@@seelenverkaufer4861 that’s his canon voice
As it should.
@@seelenverkaufer4861 As do i.
@@seelenverkaufer4861 I also read Eldar in a Chainsmoker voice.
Vulkan proves one thing above all other things...
Even in the grim-darkness of the future, there is always Hope...
Nurgle approves
I imagine that’ll be the tag line when he returns.
*_In the Grim Darkness of the far future, there is yet hope_*
Vulkan is a good and humane Primarch, but he still abandoned humanity just like the other primarchs. Robot GirlyMan is the only primarch worth being called a primarch. GirlyMan never left humanity and even got put into a coma fighting for humanity. and once he got ressurected, the first thing he did was fight to save the besieged Ultramar and then ran straight to terra to start helping humanity.
@@angrysocialjusticewarrior thats like saying that if a soldier dies during war that it is the same as them deserting and abandoning their post
or if you die in a car accident that you abandoned your friends and family, the important part here is intent which is completely ignored by what you are saying
guilliman did do literally nothing to prevent his death, it was pretty much blind luck that they managed to get him out and into stasis, he even acknowledges himself that trying to duel fulgrim in that way was a stupid mistake
"Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment."
Sanguinius Exists
Emperor: My fabulous golden hawk boy.
Vulkan Exists
Emperor: My best boy.
Soooo the emperor really isn’t a piece of shit who doesn't care about anyone. Hs DOES seem to like his sons who have compassion and care for people rather than simple bloodlust.
"Loyalty is worth more than brute force, because brute force can be used against you" Vulkan has loyalty and brute strength
Russ Exists
Emperor: My Beast Boy
Girlyman exists
Emperor: ... My business boy.
@@aethertech LOL
Seriph frowned, then wiped her brow with the sleeve of her robe.
‘What else could you have been?’
‘Tyrants, murderers… architects. It was only fate that made us leaders, and I am still unsure as to
how our genetic heritage predisposed us to that calling.’
‘And which would you have been, then?’
Vulkan smiled, though it did little to warm his diabolic voice.
‘A farmer, I think.’
‘You would take your blacksmiter’s anvil and turn a sword into a ploughshare, is that it?’
‘Overly poetic, but yes that’s it.’
Seriph paused. Either she was gasping in the heat or drawing some conclusions.
I think that's one of my favaourites lines of Vulkan, he is like a giant Sam
So happy you made this. Among all the badass quotes from 40k "It's also a hammer" stands out. I love the bit of humor in such a dark situation.
Possibly my favourite quote for 40k 😆
Vulkan, Corax and Guilliman.. The three primarchs who in my opinion had the most tragic circumstances during and after the heresy.. Vulkan being constantly pitted against his brothers and nephews despite being a literal gentle giant, Corax forced into seeing his sons mutate yet still fight for the imperium and had to end their misery himself and Guilliman for always being too late but shouldering the bulk of the effort against horus' actions.. Three brothers different from each other yet the same wherein they were utterly loyal.. Vulkan's love for his brothers and father, Corax's dedication to the liberation of the common folk and Guilliman's dream of uplifting all people so that they may have better lives.. Yet for all their deeds to help create a better future for mankind they were rewarded with betrayal, madness and misery..
In contrast, you have Angron and Konrad - Primarchs who were denied essentially love by the Emperor or were treated as freaks among their kin for curses of their homeworlds. One being potentially a kindred spirit alike Vulkan, but was tortured by the Butcher Nails that would eventually kill him besides ruining his mind/emotions while the other could’ve risen from the darkness and corruption of his world, but his mind broken upon failure similar to that of Corvus or Guiliman’s success.
@@cammykins5813 angron has a lot of people who hate him but I think that perhaps he's the most tragic out of all his brothers.. Did you know that his unique ability was basically being a super empath?.. That was twisted with the butcher's nails..
@@lavatun Yup. The empathic one of them turned to the savage or literally sped of them, considering emotion besides anger hurt him.
While Konrad was shown to potentially be good when he got his planet to chill until he snapped because said planet reverted to crime when he left.
@@lavatun personally Perty is most tragic of traitors. All he wanted was to build and was only ever a tool. He just wanted love. Yes it developed into a pathetic desire for recognition but it stems from only ever being wanted for what he could do to put others in better positions.
@@darko-man8549 Yes.. Perturabo was a tragic waste of talent and drive.. He could have been much more than he already was during the great crusade and the horus heresy.. Though I'm not that familiar with his overall character I do remember that he once beat angron.. Freaking angron..
I feel that vulkan represents the empathy and love inherent within humanity, a true representation of all the good within mankind, and for that he’ll always be the greatest of the emperor’s creations. No, the greatest human.
Vulkan represents compassion. Believe it or not, Angron was the one with the most empathy as his trait (before the nails).
@@soffren But it didn't happen.
”But you’re forgetting one thing... it’s also a hammer”
The most comedic line in all of warhammer.
Contender with: "I heard you do weird things to your sons".
@@shoandutrieux9447 agreed
It was it that moment when Vulcan became the warhammer 40,000
Second most comedic, a close follow to Lion El'Jonson's threat to Guilliman, "Insult me again, brother, and theoretically I will punch you in your practical face."
It is rare to watch a fifty-five minute lore video and be left, at the end, wanting more. Well done.
STOMP, STOMP!
The most humane Primarch, and the one that Guilliman really needs right now, after all the politics and betrayals and infighting of the 41st millennium, Guilliman needs to deal with that alone, when Vulkan returns, Guilliman should be the one to embrace him first, and having the primarchs share raw emotion at seeing each other after thousands of years, would be a great read and ahas great potential for a story
It’s gonna be a good day when the two meet again.
@@TheAmberKing yeah, and when the rest of the living loyalists return it'll be amazing
I hear the biggest primarch can give the Biggest of hugs. and Roboute can really use a big brother hug right about now.
Is it? Cause I dunno how Vulcans gonna feel about gulliamans eldar girlfriend
G: ‘okay so there’s this Orc that keeps coming back and even my elite can’t kill him.’
Vulkhan: ‘I’m not an Orc, That Kork just dyed me green that is all!’
- 7000 years ago
G: … that sounds like Vulkan… please tell me I haven’t accidentally been trying to kill my own best brother for 7k years…
"You're forgetting one thing. It's also a hammer." Will forever be in the top 10 most badass lines in the Horus Heresy series
I feel so sad for Vulkan, in the end of this vid almost had a tear in my eye
I had tears since the HERESY started, but yet again THE EMPEROR PROTECTS.
He is the best boi even is templars respect the goodest of bois
Vulkan is proof that The EMPEROR OF MANKIND has a heart..
Had, once.
Gotta love Primarch "It's also a hammer" Vulkan. Great video!
Hearing that suddenly had me in stitches
My line of thinking is that if GW wasn't going to bring vulkan back someday they wouldn't have given the ability to regenerate from literal dust.
VULCAN LIVES
*STOMP STOMP*
I know I'm a year late, but I agree. I believe he will be the last of the Primarchs to return.
For the math to math, we need 1 traitor for each chaos God, and 1 traitor who isn't a follower of a specific chaos God. Then, the loyalists would get their 5 as well, with one loyalist for each traitor.
My thinking goes:
Morty
Fulgrim
Angron
Magnus
Perty
(In that order)
Then
Robutee
Lionel
Corvus
Dorn
Vulkan
(In that order)
Masterfully done. You are quickly becoming one of the top tier sages or lore master off 40k. (in dnd their called sages) keep up the work.
He's the best. Hands down.
Of*
Just here for another comment because I've properly listened to this several times now. This was absolutely fantastic, the production is on another level. Really loved the addition of other voice overs. It was beautifully narrated. Seriously Amber King, you're everything other 40k youtubers should be. You've genuinely surpassed Luetin and basically every other 40k youtuber in my opinion. There's no waffle, no filler everything is interesting and thorough researched. Seriously keep up the good work mate.
Oh and bring the intro music you used to have, I really enjoy it. Take care man.
Thank you man, genuinely the nicest comment I’ve ever had.
All he wanted was to hug his friends
Damn bro, this shit was fantastic. TH-cam randomly recommended this video and it was certainly worth the watch. If you're taking requests I think your style would be amazing for Saint Celestine or if you're just concentrating on Primarchs then definitely Sanguinius!
A. Vulkan I my favorite
B. You're already one of the best 40k lore guys out there, people just haven't seen you yet, but you keep putting out this quality and you'll be there soon
One of my favourite Primarchs as well . Thanks for this King!
The origin stories of the Primarchs are always so tragic. But in Vulcan's case it is not just tragic its also uplifting and makes you feel empowered and proud of being humane even when faced with seemingly impossible challenges.
Even to this day. I love the story of the salamanders, it’s so well written and emotion filled it’s truly a work of amazing lore. I will never forget them.
I was never really in to the Salamanders, but after this video my respect for them is now unshakeable! I'm gonna be making a full army of these guys. Awesome video!!
I'd follow this man to the warp and back! He was trully an incredible human being... Thanks for sharing this video, Amber.
I would love to see Vulcan return. I think it would be great to experience his views on the 40th Millennium.
Would he remain hopeful and human?
Or would the casual cruelty of the Imperium make him snap?
It might be a good contrast to seem him jaded at what the imperium has become, and then be on the journey back to who he was. If he arrives in the 40k timeline all perfect it wouldn't be that interesting.
Or probably develop depression, like Guilliman.
@@garberasandor9699 I think any of the loyalists returning would be so great for Guilliman. Would love to see that happen, sure it will eventually and honestly would have happy with pretty much any of them.
King, you know how to pluck at my hearts strings. Well made. Thank you. Im not 😢 just excess water leaking from my optical areas…
Great work as always brother. Can't be long until you get that 1k and it'll be so well deserved.
both of you are the new generation of lorekeepers... and I love it.
The amount of Warhammer art that you have blows my mind. I hope that the new Games Workshop policy of going against people who use fan art doesn't affect your wonderful channel in the future
I'd love to see a scene of Vulken and Angron sparing and Vulken unleash his anger and totally surprise Angron.
Konrad once complimented vulkan mockingly for his prejudice in caldera which made him so mad that he beat konrad to near death while konrad was cackling like the maniac he is.
when the night haunter himself compliments you,you know you need evaluation.
What an absolute pleasure it was to watch this video!
well done!
I'm loving the fact that you're doing all of them please keep up the amazing work
Very well done sir. You brought tears to my eyes.
Been needing more serious videos these days. Thanks.
Great content, thank you so much for creating this!

This is my introduction to you. Thank you. This was beautiful. Subscribed.

That was awesome man. First 40k lore/story on TH-cam I've been able to complete in a long time. Look forward to checking your other content out
Thank you!
Holy crap you’ve easily become one of my top lore channels these videos are amazing
The way you tie in quotes and poetry in your narration is expertly done.
The amount of effort you put in these videos is amazing. I can tell you’re gonna be one of the big ones in enough time
Thanks. Another awesome video. Superb quality as always. This channel should be much more popular.
your lore is a gem to be withheld! I can easily understand where the story starts and where it ends and it makes it easy for beginners. Thank you for the time you took to make this!
"Silence ghost of Mannus! You are no friend." Will always be the best thing I've ever heard.
I have recently discovered your channel and as I’ve been binge watching you videos the last few days I must say I really like your content it’s always well thought out and your presentation is constantly improving.
I’m glad to be one of the first Thousand Sons (subscribers) to your channel I’m sure it will continue to grow as the algorithm gets it out more.
this was a beautiful video,ngl I think I shed a few tears while watching
The true passion/talent for 40k has started to awaken!
Superb!!!! Subscribed!!!!
STOMP

STOMP!!!!!!
Excellent content again.. fastly becoming my favorite 30k 40k channel.. keep them coming my friend 👍👍
Easily the best presentation about Vulkan I've heard so far. Nice treatment of his character and personality.
By FAR my favourite video from you
Hamds down my favourite warhammer 40k video on yt.
Thanks for making this brother
Very good video!!! I enjoyed it, truly...Vulcan is my favorite for many reasons...love the shot of the Salamander carrying a little boy and holding a little girl's hand...touching
Gack me, I thought I knew every good lore channel on yt. :)
Good work, love it!
Great video, dude. Well told.
That was incredible very well done
Amber King - you are a true master of your craft. These videos you create, they are nothing short of perfection, I find your work truly mesmerizing. Hands down - the absolute pinnacle of Warhammer lore videos I have ever seen/experienced (and I have seen a hell of a lot over the years). I’ve recently invested in a few 40k audiobooks... Honestly I just turn them off and go to your channel instead. This video in particular.. I felt truly immersed and moved by it. I rarely comment on TH-cam, but I feel compelled to commend you on these masterpieces. Keep going Amber, one day you will bigger than Leutin!
Just want to say this. You are a good narrator of the history and info about the 40k universe. Your underrated and I'll give you a follow as you deserve it
You outdid yourself with this one👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Awesome buddy, I hope your channel really takes off, your vids are as good as anything out there and I enjoy them
SUCH GREAT CONTENT!!!
I've never played warhammer, but love the lore and art. Aside from the name and limited details I knew very little about Vulcan. After this, I can see why you like him so much.
You deserve more subs for all the hard work you put into your videos my guy
STUNNING PRODUCTION!
I love it dude! You will be the next big thing in WH40K Lore in no time! Keep going!
You my good Sir, deliver not quality, but exquisite art! The script, voiceover, clip: fabulous!
This content is so well made. I am invested 100% of the time
As someone who knows W40K, your videos are really easy to watch and watch to the end. I like your primarchs videos, please do a video on each primarch with this kind of detail :') keep it up man
This is fantastic
Omg, you're doing such a great job. Its amazing to discover primarchs lifes from diffrent point od view
This was amazing, thank you! Please keep up the good work! I smashed the sub button!
Awesome work as always
Thank you very much.
Ahhh yes the big scurrry red eyed primarch who loves flamethrowers and lives on a planet that literally has a place called deathfire.
Is the nice one.
the NICE one.
Probably the biggest Primarch that hugs LOL.
Very good sir. This one earned you a sub. Keep up the great work.👍👍👍
Keep it up dude. You do a great job. Good vibe to the way you present the lore. I love you pulling quotes and adding them. Nice touch.
Edit: Btw anyone else love watching these videos even though there is probably nothing more at all that you can learn about the Primarchs cause you have watched and read it all?
There is only one thing I would say.
VULKAN LIVES *stompstomp*
"It is also a hammer"
Just found your channel and I have to say. What an immaculate introduction. Easy sub for me.
Vulcan got me in Warhammer. Though I learned he wasn't black in the ethnic sense I related to him in the moral code he held. A very well written character and you narrated his story very well.
Thank you very much! I find Vulkan the most relatable as his weaknesses are are not of body but just the fact he is human. Just as flawed as the rest of us.
I feel very sorry for Magnus in that last moment: forced to purge his sons or face exile and enthralment.
I don't see how you don't have more subs man your content is amazing.
Your timing is impeccable, new video on painting day, fantastic. Brilliant content.
What are you painting?
@@TheAmberKing currently finishing my space wolf combat patrol, painting Haldor icepelt.
Do you have a favourite space wolf character?
Got to be bjorn the fell handed. The idea that the chapter has someone who was there 10,000 years ago, who knew Leman I think is brilliant.
I always come back to this after a rough day. Vulcan and the salamanders really are heros
This was Very passionate
Truly a masterpiece
I would sub a 1000 times over
Thank You Amber
Awesome work
Love this video, man you've inspired me. I'm painting a force of iron hands, rave guard and salamanders for the Istvan V masacre, was gonna go raven guard next now I've done q load of iron hands but I might have to go straight to painting the salamanders after this. Really well made man, you've got my like and subscribe
Nicely done 👍
This is TOP TIRE lore. I know my 40k and this was spot on! I’d love to hear you do a lore video on Gotric & Felix of 40k fantasy.
Your videos are super relaxing. Fall asleep to them every night 😇
Very well done!
Best idea for topic please continue with this series 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 absolutely fantastic. Looking forward for more videos 👍🏻🖖🏻. Keep it up Brother. 👍🏻
Immaculate work.
Vulkan Lives
“It’s also a hammer.”
-Vulkan, Baddest of Asses
Amazing work my friend in every aspect you've more then earn my sub
Thank you very much.
Amazing! Just subscribed a few days ago, just in time for you to do one on my primarch! Vulkan Lives!
Great video, thank you
Vulkan. a 14 foot tall, 4,000 pound extreme metahuman with a lot of heart and tenderness. His physicality is at odds with his character.
We Will Watch Your Career With Great Interest
Very well done
Good video. You have a good voice for this too. Something i think you have over Luetin is the palpable emotion your voice conveys in each of these segments. Kudos!
