Nope, your team member is wrong. It took place After Istavaan, during the Heresy. He got the information from his Father, the Emperor, to rebuild his legion. Then the Alpha Legion spiked it after the first successful batches, with Daemon Blood and it became the failure then. This all happened before the Siege of Terra.
Like the above said. This wasn’t after the heresy. Also they were upgrading existing space marines. They were using upgraded tech on new recruits to speed up the creation and make them better until the AL spiked the tech with demon blood. Corax went to earth after the massacre for information to rebuild his legion faster and better and the emperor showed him how. Alpharius and Omegon discovered this and damaged the tech causing the abominations
@@gunslinger1911a1yeah I also just read the book that covers this and it's right after they successfully fled Istvaan, aka the Drop Sight Massacre. Corvus goes to the Emperor to get the knowledge to even do this. Sadly, he's unaware of the Alpha Legion marine disguised as one of his own. If this had happened after the heresy then there would be no way for corvus to meet with the Emperor.
Well....maybe not all of his sons...*cough (whispers: Terran born Astartes of the Xeric Tribes) * cough. Cries in Ashen Claws and maybe Carcharodons Astra?!?! 😅
@jakehughes6087 yes I know which is why I specified of the xeric tribes whom accompanied the Luna Wolves as the 18th Chapter, the Ashen Claws under Narat Kirine and, notably the 1st Company the Deliverers. They were the most notorious of the Terran XIX prior to the reunion with their Gene Sire Corvus Corax and the subsequent renaming of the Legion to the Raven Guard. The majority of these groups had served under Horus during the Terran Unification Wars and for a good portion of the Great Crusade. You can also throw in those of the XIX that followed Arkhas Fal and the subsequent banishment to the Nomad Predation Fleets prior to the Horus Heresy. The majority of those banished were Terran Astartes whim favored frontal assaults and often used allied Imperial Guard as canon fodder. Their reputations were further ruined because they were infamous for being a brutal and almost sadistic occupying force through out the Unification Wars and the initial stages of the Great Crusade. Basically those of the newly formed Raven Guard Legion that didn't follow the Tri-Fold Path of Shadow or reminded Corax of the Slavers back on Deliverance were yeeted away to the Predation Fleets to live out their rest of their days. It's kind of ironic as most of the loyal Terran XIX died horribly either being recalled to the Gene Forges and never return after Scouring of Lysithea, getting slaughterd at the Battle of Gate 42 (Where Corax purposely used those Terran Raven Guard to Spear head the assault to cull their numbers before trying to banish what was left to the aforementioned Nomad Predation Fleets) and finally being almost destroyed at Istvaan V. One has to wonder, if the mentioned Terran elements had stayed with the Raven Guard, would those Earth born Astartes stay loyal or would they instead fall back in line with Horus like they did pre Heresy
@@jikjikrodriguezthey would turned to Horus just like white scar one. Terran born white scar sided with Horus and jagatai Khan have to kill them all. Corax predict that they would betrayal him so he sent them all to their dead.
They were fully loyal. That’s the sad part despite the taint of chaos they were as loyal as the rest and while there wasn’t many Raven guard left when this took place the ones that were left were divided. Some thought them as monsters while some saw them with pity but not one dared to speak ill of them because they saw Corvus treat them as he had treated them and the sadness of what they were. A legion has a lot of loyalty to their father but this event showed all the Raven guard that corax was human

See not just the tragedy of this poor astartes death, but the beauty in the fact that for but a moment he felt his genefather’s embrace, was called son by the one being that could calm the wailing of chaos in his mind, and was given the emperor’s mercy, he died a death as honourable as any of his Ravenguard brothers
I have had the Corax anthology for about 4 years now, read it so many times that it’s practically ingrained into my memory, but that final short will never, ever fail to have me sobbing like a child. It’s hard not to sympathise when it’s so clear how dearly Corax loved his sons, and how it tore at him to inadvertently be the reason for their wretched existence.
The thing is we actually get to see the mutated raven guards side of this too or at-least one of them. The mutations bring him power and pain alike but he knows that what he is can’t be allowed to live after his purpose is done and while he’s terrified he just prays that his primach doesn’t hate him. Unfortunately we never get to know if he learned or not
One last gift... from a heartbroken father to his unfortunate son. A mercy, freedom... from a life no one deserves. A last embrace... from a loving father.
Man raven gaurd lore is so good poor guy really hated the idea of killing his sons for something that wasn't their fault but still decided that it anyone is going to kill them let it be someone that doesn't see them as monstrous abominations let it be their father that wants to give them the kindest of mercies

Maybe a VERY young Corvus. Like when he was still busy liberating his Homeworld of Deliverance. During, and after the Horus Heresy, I think you'd need someone older. But then again nice choice 😊
Him swearing to kill every Chaos tainted creature in the Galaxy implies that he intends to end his own life should his mission ever be completed... (Which it won't ever be, but still)
I like to think that that twisted Raptor marine would be content with this outcome as well. I feel like... if the demigod of a man that I look up to above all else took it upon him to comfort me with words and end my twisted existence with his own hands, I would be as happy as I could be.
Reminds me of the failed demonculaba subjects. Their gene seed was stolen from pure Astartes so these mangled creatures who were once children of the imperium are children forced to undergo brutal torture while still retaining their faith in the emperor until corrupted by chaos. Before they were all given the Emperor mercy the astartes and guardsmen were pained to see that despite being tainted by chaos they were still loyal to the Emperor in their own sad disfigured way. They even made a makeshift shrine of the Emperor on a golden throne. “ dA EmPerO lOvEs Me.” -Unknown demonculaba subject
Out of all the primarchs, I think it’s safe to say Corax hates chaos the most. He’s been hurt more than any of the other primarchs except Sanguinius, or at least he showed his hurt more. Corax was so consumed by hatred he abandoned his sons to pursue Lorgar, that’s a lot of hate man
Raven Guard are underrated but i like it that way. They kind of made Primarus before Primarus. I think it be cool if it turns out Cawls work was tainted so random Marines started mutating. Corvus comes out from the shadows to fix this one way or another
Add the fact that Corax has even stronger Perfect Recall than other Primarchs He doesn't just remember his past, he LIVES through them, the feeling never ends, never weakens in time, never - NEVER gets less painful. Now apply that to this situation No wonder he is "emo", Angron gets nothing on Corax
Poor Heff, having degenerated this much... Corax showed him tender mercy by ending his suffering. Is it any wonder Corax left with the words "Never again", and went full Nightwing in the Eye?
For all the primarchs that seem like they should've turned traitor but were too strong, Corax is one. Now he's Chaos' Boogiman in the warp. Demon Prince Lorgar is (literally) currently locked in his bedroom because he doesn't want his brother to get him.
Honestly just make it so that in space marine 2 you can wear a helmet and change your armor and weapons loadout, closest we're gonna get for the more niche space marines, honestly with they did that in boltgun
I cant wait to see Corvus Assention. wonder if he has turned into a half raven/half human or he can jusr move so fast looks like a huge pack of Death Ravens.
It was always my belief that when the Raven Guard broke to form their Second Founding Chapters, those that took the Raptors name were to honor these tragic brothers of theirs. A further note, is that these mutated Raptors had an opportunity to sacrifice themselves, but Corax himself refused to allow them.
So a member of the team just reminded that this took place immediately AFTER the heresy not during! My bad everyone!

Raven Guard are underrated but i like it that way. They kind of made Primarus before Primarus. I think it be cool if it turns out Cawls work was tainted so random Marines started mutating. Corvus comes out from the shadows to fix this one way or another
Add the fact that Corax has even stronger Perfect Recall than other Primarchs
He doesn't just remember his past, he LIVES through them, the feeling never ends, never weakens in time, never - NEVER gets less painful.
Now apply that to this situation
No wonder he is "emo", Angron gets nothing on Corax
I went from oh that’s sad, to having to pause the video in less then 5 seconds. Emperor above.
When bricky said Kurse is "Depresso Expresso" he wasn't lying 😂
Expresso Depresso... that's what makes Corvus a cool guy. Plus, his vendetta against Lorgar is never not awesome. Nevermore indeed.
A mercy, he tried his best to make it quick as possible.
I understand why the haunter hated him. Everyone loved corax.
Especially the Raptors... Shit... One of the few Astartes that actually behave like they have a brain they use...
I hadn't heard this part before, literally gave me goosebumps and made my eyes well up.
I just finished Deliverence Lost the other day. This is an event that I was almost completely unaware of until I started reading
Poor Heff, having degenerated this much... Corax showed him tender mercy by ending his suffering. Is it any wonder Corax left with the words "Never again", and went full Nightwing in the Eye?
For all the primarchs that seem like they should've turned traitor but were too strong, Corax is one. Now he's Chaos' Boogiman in the warp. Demon Prince Lorgar is (literally) currently locked in his bedroom because he doesn't want his brother to get him.
woman: do men even have feelings?
men:
The Raven Guard will always be my favorite Legion/Chapter Victorus Aut Mortis!
Corax and Jagatai are so underrated primarchs, both just steal every scene they are in
I'm still waiting on a Raven Guard stealth game
Dishonored. But in space! Actually Corvus' new abilities would work well with that.
Honestly just make it so that in space marine 2 you can wear a helmet and change your armor and weapons loadout, closest we're gonna get for the more niche space marines, honestly with they did that in boltgun
The loyal of the marines to his fathers is astonish.
Wow, that's a powerful moment.
I've never been interested by Corvus Corvax and his legion before, but maybe I should give them a try.
That marine knew what had to be done and was no doubt thankful it was by his primarch’s hand that it was done
You're gonna give me a new obsession! 😭😭
Do what you have to do, Big Boss :')
I need Corvus back in the setting. He doesn’t get anywhere near as
Much love as he should. He’s a fucking one man army
U have to stop making me cry dude-
This scene was actually one of the reasons i choose Raven guard for my army. It made Corvus seem distinctly human.
I cant wait to see Corvus Assention. wonder if he has turned into a half raven/half human or he can jusr move so fast looks like a huge pack of Death Ravens.

My brother in the Emperor, they were literally built off the knowledge of the Raptors and improfed
Sleep well brother :(
Damn. I was already in a bit of a mood. This just jinga'd my whole composure.
Corax has a lot of anger to work out with a certain Chaos Primarch if they ever poke their head out
“Never more”
40k should not have such a hard impact on my emotions.
Cool fact. Not hiddenly related by the writter, before Corvus left for the eye of Terror was, "Nevermore" says the raven primarch Corvus 😢😂
Additional fact: Corax hate poetry. It reminded him of the labor chants used by the slaves.
A mercy better than anything that any primarch could have given the Marine
Alpharius did abit of trolling and now his brother Lorgar is harrassed by a winged giant
After Corax get to crush Lorgar, He's gonna start to chase Alpharion and His Alpha Legion in order to get His revenge on them.
Makes Rogal Dorn shiskabobbing Alpharius so much more enjoyable.
..and what increases the tragedy is that he has turned into a warp tainted creature himself. They should bring Raven Raven back next.
It was always my belief that when the Raven Guard broke to form their Second Founding Chapters, those that took the Raptors name were to honor these tragic brothers of theirs.
A further note, is that these mutated Raptors had an opportunity to sacrifice themselves, but Corax himself refused to allow them.
Ow, my heart 😢
Some real mice and men vibes here
