- #Warhammer Lore: What if you were given the impossible task of standing against a god? Would you cower, or would you face the challenge head-on? Ollanius Pius, a simple human soldier, and a guardsman in service to the Emperor during the Siege of the Imperial Palace, held the line!
I'm gonna ignore he's a Perpetual to me he was an Ordinary Human Guardsman. Doing his duty to his Emperor. To his galaxy. To his people.
Indeed!
This video explains perfectly the reason I believe He shouldn't have been retconned as a perpetual
Exactly my reason for making it, I can't stand what they have done with his character.
Yeah it takes away from a mere mortal standing up to a God.
Ehhh a perpetual trading his known eternal life has some weight.
But there is a certain universal appeal for a mortal to give up his life as well
For me, it makes the sacrifice that much greater.
Nothing is more powerful and meaningful than a mere man standing before a god in defiance.
The moment Ollanius Pius got teleported unto the Vengefull Spirit the Glorianna class battleship tilted heavily. Those immense brass balls he carried tilted the ship turned warp rift on itself.
I thought they were ceramite.
The pop on that FUCKING in. Holds the fucking line. 🙌🤌👍
For me, and one reason why I collect the guard is summed up by this video. Ordinary humans facing unfathomable odds and horrors with no enhancements, poor equipment and weaponry holding the line and defeating enemies, super human and not, with sheer determination and the power of the human spirit.
Bro David Attenborough telling the story of ollanius pius is golden.
... The Commissar is pleased! 😎🤘
Truly, the Imperial Guard Made Manifest.
I prefer him as mere normal mortal. A cannon fodder soldier with balls bigger than Horus bald head.
I never liked the perpetual thing..i always felt it was an allegorical story...he will die painfully, but the emperor gained just that second. His savior was in need and all was given by a man with nothing to lose except his species survival in a uncaring galaxy...so hold the line till the planet crumbles for that is what pious would do.
And in some ways did
i mean this legend got teleported onto the Vengeful Spirit murdered everyone then told Horus to lick his balls
Despite of the fact that that he is not mere mortal. )
If you believe yet another ridiculous retcon of him. By that logic, you should believe he didn't exist and it was a Blood Angel terminator or a Custodes who faced Horus instead.
No. Ollanius Pius is, and shall forever be, a mortal man.
His story has been retconned so many times, I'm sticking with the version(s) where he is or basically is.
For someone who isn’t mortal, he sure is dead like one.
While I hate what Geedubs has done to our boy, my personal head-canon for why he's a perpetual is the same reason the Emperor is a God standing against the universe despite his life support failing for thousands of years: the Orks believe he is. Ollanius Pius is on so many banners, so the Orks know his face. If all dese humies consider him such a great person, then clearly he must be a super humie and would be be a great foight, just like that Empruh theys always yappin about.
My only thing is....they make nothing of his experiences and it's kinda lame modern canon but here me out...would the orks respect a humie who stood between the equivalent of Gork and Mork and trying to fight Mork while Gork is recovering to strike back?
@@stonemanofgardnerville1162 hell yeah then would, it's not stopping a fight, it's prolonging it.
can you imagine only one orc god? who would they fight?
I’ve heard that Ollanius was canonically the last catholic in Warhammer, is that true?
If he was then he knows what's up.
Perputuals are the worst aspect of 40k
You sound envious.
Here. Some have 🍨
