Showing how devastating the virus bombs are to Astartes, who have superhuman immune systems and sealed armor, only to follow it up with "Istvaan was a hive world" and complete silence was devastatingly effective.
8 billion human souls wiped out with a single button. The psychic death scream of the people of Isstvan III is said to have been brighter than the beacon of the Astronomican for the psychically aware.
'Did we hurt them, captain?' Asked Solathen. 'Did this mean anything?' Tarvitz thought for a moment before replying. 'Yes,' he said, 'we hurt them here. They will remember this.'
Just to add a small but critical piece of information; as Saul Tarvitz travels to the surface via Thunderhawk, he warns Nathaniel Garro aboard the Eisenstein who would later inform Dorn and by extension Terra. Great vid as always! Btw!
@thathandsomedevil0828 That's the one! Those first few books are AMAZING! When I first read them I didn't realize just how ground breaking they were! Now looking back I'm like. "Wow" so much info and great characters! Truly EPIC!
@@D3is3l Yeah great book, I think this is also the one where Kharn gets impaled on the land raider maybe?! R.I.P Saul Tarvitz the last of the old breed of Emperor's Children!
Your videos on wh40k are so original. They have very good visuals, just enough to entrigue the imagination, truly a breath of fresh air. Perfectly made as always. I would love to see Istvaan 5 too. Sorry for my english
Love your work as always. Small correction to Traitor disposition: -Only 3 primarchs present, as Fulgrim was preparing on Istvaan V and Eidolon was in charge of III Legion forces. -Only 2 primarchs, Angron and Mortarion, fought planetside. Horus remained in orbit the whole time.
Which makes it only more ironic that the battle of Istvaan III only truly ended when Rylanor blew himself up with an undetonated virus bomb to kill Fulgrim a millennium later.
The sheer amount of incredibly high quality videos you’ve pumped out in the last month and a half is astounding. I pray that this colossal amount of work you’ve done pleases the TH-cam algorithm gods and I hope your not overworking yourself too much
Great video, but I wish you had added more details like: - Visualising the location of important characters on the map - The escape of Qruze, Sindermann and the Remembrancers - Garro helping Tarvids, and taking control of the Eisenstein and fleeing the system I'm reading through the books and it can get difficult to keep a clear overview of where the characters are and what they are doing, especially when you go back in time and get into other perspectives like in Flight of the Eisenstein. Videos like this would be a big help
your work really brings this stuff into a visceral, human-sized place where it's easier to understand and visualize the ungodly scale of the brutality and horror of the fiction. Really great work.
To anyone watching this; I highly recommend reading the book(s). This event is from “Galaxy in Flames” and is basically the latter third of the entire book. As good as this video is it unfortunately must leave out LOTS of detail otherwise itd be hours long. One detail in particular which stood out to me; (SPOILERS for Galaxy in Flames) when Horus launched the virus bombs he had gathered all the civilian remembrancers from his fleet into an auditorium to “witness what war is truly like.” They were forced to watch billions die as Isstvan III was consumed by the World Eater virus. Many in the audience were beyond shocked and reduced to sobbing messes as they helplessly watched unimaginable evil unfold in front of them. Once the bombardment was completed Horus ordered the Astartes surrounding the outer edges of the room to slaughter the crowd. In seconds every single remembrancers were dead.
Nice video i appreciate the hard work, a minor point but AFAIK the Loyalist forces had access to armour, in fairness mostly the Death Guard as the IIIrd, XIIth and XVIth primarily arrived via drop pod but the XIVth deployed in full battle order, there was actually even a limited Loyalist Titan presence, the few Titans of the Legio Mortis who couldn't be trusted. It is worth remembering Warhammer is a battle-game so they needed to make sure you had options if you were fielding a loyalist force.
Discoverd this/your Channel around 2 weeks ago and its already one of my absolut favorits in the Warhammer communite. You do great work in the name if the Emperor!
New sub. That silence after the virus bomb strike was so impactful, I legit got chills. Istvaan V would be a great follow up! I would love to see a breakdown of the siege of Terra some day!
this is incredible!!!!!!!! seconded on the istvaan 5 suggestions too! take breaks of course, i can't imagine this video was easy to make! as a bonus, i'd love to see tarvitz's mid-flight communications with garro and garro's subsequent escape with the eisenstien!
Man! Thank you! I was really looking forward to this. I'm a new convert in 40k XD and just started reading the books. Now I wanted to see your Istvann V next or whatever the next event happened after this.
I've been waiting for this to drop and you did not disappoint. Another exemplary video. Please do the dropsite massacre and the flight of the Eiesenstien.
Yesyes. As a newbie plebeian who was introduced a mere space marine 2 ago I’ve heard so much about this planet but no deep dives yet. Can’t wait to watch this after work ❤
love the video and the models, only gripe ive got is with you using primaris pieces which is a 40k poster boy, instead of the heresy armours, other than that awesome vid
very good video! It would be great to have 2 videos about the last 2 members of the World Eaters and the 2 members of the Death Guard who were loyal to the Emperor.
Hate to be nit picky, but I'd have loved to have arrows showing the movements of the infantry @ the 6:00 minute mark. Besides that, I love the work, keep it up, you're providing great insight into the war that helps break it from the ephemeral mire of the mind. (I do like da visual)
oh man ya know we wanna see the dropsite massacre. out of all things i can think of it would be helsreach and dropsite massacre as THE things to show. excited to see it assuming you do start work on it. ill throw out a suggestion though of the play from the infinite and the divine that turned into a genestealer invasion and the play on fulgrims ship after he got slanneshed where everyone in the room got slaneshed
We don‘t die as sons of horus torgaddon. We die as lunar wolves. Still a moment that I feel belongs with the victory of huron phal and ulis temeter and the last moments of the resistance in the choral palace with saul taviz knowing that they hurt the traitors here.
Lovely animation, the armour mark is wrong, you have Primaris Mk10 rather than the common Horus Heresy Mk3 mk4. Even early Mk5 would be suitable. the backpack and raised gorget is the give away. Subbed and liked. I will watch more with great interest.
Dude this is great but I just want to say that the models of the space marines are in the primaris armor, which didn't exist in the 31st millenium, they should actually be Mark 3 or Mark 4 depending on the legion.
@@Mr.BoneszActually no, the ‘beak’ for lack of a better term protrudes forward, so you can see the bottom of it (looks like a black triangle on most) and the world eaters wear mark 3 anyways.
@@lamlol605 The beak helmet is Mark 6 Corvus pattern armor. Mark 10 looks like a standard Mark 4 Maximus helmet. Although Mark 4 had the most variants and customizations done by the Legions
@@Mr.Bonesz yeah no, mark 10 is flat whereas mark 4 has a beak that has an edge at the end (looks like a triangle, again) corvus armor has a cone which is beakish but not what i was talking about
Istvaan V animation would be amazing
THIS
What a beauty of a video as always. Please do the Dropsite massacre too, this style of video is simply too wonderful
YES please
Absolutely agree
Showing how devastating the virus bombs are to Astartes, who have superhuman immune systems and sealed armor, only to follow it up with "Istvaan was a hive world" and complete silence was devastatingly effective.
Incredibly chilling, great scripting on behalf of the creator, good shout mate.

'Yes,' he said, 'we hurt them here. They will remember this.'

I was looking for a way of describing these videos. "Original" seems perfect.
Love your work as always. Small correction to Traitor disposition:
-Only 3 primarchs present, as Fulgrim was preparing on Istvaan V and Eidolon was in charge of III Legion forces.
-Only 2 primarchs, Angron and Mortarion, fought planetside. Horus remained in orbit the whole time.
Fulgrim deleted the primarch of the iron hands on Isstvan 3, right?
@@thathandsomedevil0828 No, that was later on Istvaan V
@@thathandsomedevil0828 Istvan III was the bait and Istvan V was the switch.
Which makes it only more ironic that the battle of Istvaan III only truly ended when Rylanor blew himself up with an undetonated virus bomb to kill Fulgrim a millennium later.
I don’t care how hard it is to make theses videos you better not stop
Love the depiction of the Choral City! And my boi Tarvitz! Would love to see Istvaan V!!
Love the 3D Breakdowns of WH40K, keep it up!
i find your untextured, but clearly bespoke models very charming, i know what is like to hit the UV unwrap tab and criying

3:40 "...and Istvan III was a hive world."
*deafening silence*
Hit me in the man-feels this one. We salute those who laid there their life down on Istvan III.
"This death. This death... is ours. We choose it. We deny you your victory."
These are awesome please don't stop

Ahhh.... Istvaan III, the tears flowed while listening to that one.
What a fantastic video. The visual aid to display what is going on is amazing.
Please, more Horus Heresy videos!!! This helped me visualize the books even more!
The infamous Imperator Titan, Dies Irea, was planetside when the virus bombs fell. It barely survived the resulting fire storm.
The algorithm has shown upon this beauty of a video. Keep up the good work!
New sub. That silence after the virus bomb strike was so impactful, I legit got chills.
Istvaan V would be a great follow up!
I would love to see a breakdown of the siege of Terra some day!
i REALLY love this video format, feels.. REAL.
Like a proper historical event, Stellar work brother!
In that moment Saul Tarvits became more perfect then Fulgrim ever could hope to be.
Absolutely amazing work as usual. Would love to see the series of "unfortunate" events that caused the death of all but 1 of the Celestial Lions
Please never Stop making this man i love ur style of storytelling love from India❤
I've never subscribed so hard in my life.
this is incredible!!!!!!!! seconded on the istvaan 5 suggestions too! take breaks of course, i can't imagine this video was easy to make!

This was amazing dude! keep em coming for sure

You deserve even more subs with content like this!
Man! Thank you! I was really looking forward to this. I'm a new convert in 40k XD and just started reading the books. Now I wanted to see your Istvann V next or whatever the next event happened after this.
Beautiful work!
What a great video. I love your style.

Your videos are great. Blessings of the algorithm be upon you.
Amazing work dude
Exceptional work!
really cool man you got another subscriber
This Was Fantastic. Thank You!
Haven't gotten this excited for a video in a long time!
I've been waiting for this to drop and you did not disappoint. Another exemplary video.

Yesyes. As a newbie plebeian who was introduced a mere space marine 2 ago I’ve heard so much about this planet but no deep dives yet. Can’t wait to watch this after work ❤
Check out Janovich
That SOOOO cool, amazing work
You are criminally underated sir 🫡
Subbed. Amazing work.
love the video and the models, only gripe ive got is with you using primaris pieces which is a 40k poster boy, instead of the heresy armours, other than that awesome vid
These bite-sized 3d lore pieces are so good
Sir, you just got your self a subscriber.
Fantastic video!
Hell yeah! I love this book
Please cover Isvtaan V as well, this video here is amazing!
Babe wake up! NightHaunter dropped another banger 3D Breakdown…
ok this is awesome , I subbed
I waited so long for this
Holy moly this was peak cinema
This feels like we're Neophytes studying the lore of the Imperium before we're sent off on our rite of passage or something 🙏
great quality
Yeah. Definitely going places.
Great video man. 👍🏼
very good video! It would be great to have 2 videos about the last 2 members of the World Eaters and the 2 members of the Death Guard who were loyal to the Emperor.
Hes at it again
awesome work brother
Istvaan V with your style of 3D animation is definitely something you should do!
I was there!
I was there when FNH started the Dawn of Warhammer 40k True Crime,
Fully cover the siege of terra and my soul is yours.
Definitely do V as well. I was thinking this was that at first since its been so long I got my Istvans mixed up...
I'm not gonna cry watching the Drop Site Massacre... I'm not... going... to cry
A viedo about Istvaan V would be amazing
Also, a video about the friendship between the imperial fist named Alexis and the iron warrior Barbarous would be good.
Hate to be nit picky, but I'd have loved to have arrows showing the movements of the infantry @ the 6:00 minute mark.
Besides that, I love the work, keep it up, you're providing great insight into the war that helps break it from the ephemeral mire of the mind. (I do like da visual)
We are so desperate for a horus heresy movie
You make one of a kind videos thank you❤
oh man ya know we wanna see the dropsite massacre. out of all things i can think of it would be helsreach and dropsite massacre as THE things to show. excited to see it assuming you do start work on it. ill throw out a suggestion though of the play from the infinite and the divine that turned into a genestealer invasion and the play on fulgrims ship after he got slanneshed where everyone in the room got slaneshed
We don‘t die as sons of horus torgaddon. We die as lunar wolves.
Still a moment that I feel belongs with the victory of huron phal and ulis temeter and the last moments of the resistance in the choral palace with saul taviz knowing that they hurt the traitors here.
Valika Junction on Armatura next please 🙏🏽🔥
Yes, please cover it
this format is op
SO to that Magi tech-priest who busted out his spider-man powers and came in clutch.
Loyalty is its own reward
Istvaan V would go crazy
Loki i thought this was about to be the istvaan 5 video but this video was really good, please make a istvaan 5 video
Saul Tarvitz a true hero.
Awesome presentation! Not even one survived the second orbital bombardment? I feel u left it open to where maybe one or two might of survived.
Lovely animation, the armour mark is wrong, you have Primaris Mk10 rather than the common Horus Heresy Mk3 mk4. Even early Mk5 would be suitable. the backpack and raised gorget is the give away. Subbed and liked. I will watch more with great interest.
I assume he only has specific models available to him
The XVIII Legion humbly requests you cover the dropsite massacre
Fantastic video, well done.
Anyone know the music at 3:53? I recognise it from somewhere and it's driving me mad
Dude this is great but I just want to say that the models of the space marines are in the primaris armor, which didn't exist in the 31st millenium, they should actually be Mark 3 or Mark 4 depending on the legion.
