Dude doesn't even have ads on his videos. I constantly come back to your videos mate, the plainsong chants, calming voice and long-form videos are lovely to fall asleep to :)
Been following for years and there's no doubt Occy is an S Tier creator. The apparent simplicity of the audio and video, set against the complexity and immersiveness of the script really stands out. He's always put out such great work and I hope he keeps it up for a long long while 🙏
Nah, actually i changed my mimd, oculus is the best, because of his ability to write, this is not just some lore video, this guy puts an effort to make the text actual art.
@@walktheline993 Although I no longer follow Arch due to his excessive use of dogma, I still watch his 1st War of Armageddon Video, as he is the only Channel to cover that topic.
This channel is just so far above all other lore channels on not just Warhammer, but any body of work. Really this is the quality every single channel should aspire to.
Dear lord. I had been acquainted with this portion of 40k History but this was like a full documentary like you were there, watching the virus bombing unfold. You've taken me on a visual journey. I put this on to sleep, but after 10 minutes, I realized I was just listening and not trying to sleep.
"Even through the pain, Temeter understood. There was a small fracture in the old warrior’s ceramite casing, not enough to have slowed him on the battlefield, but more than the virus needed to reach inside the Dreadnought’s hull and savage the remnants of flesh inside. ‘You… lied.’ ‘Veteran’s prerogative,’ came the reply. ‘We’ll go together then, shall we?’ Huron-Fal asked, embracing Temeter’s body to him, moving swiftly away from the bunker. It took every last effort from Temeter to nod. Blinded now, he could feel the tissues of his eyes burning and shrivelling in his head, the soft meat of his lips and tongue dissolving. Huron-Fal’s systems were on the verge of shut-down as he stumbled to a safe distance, skidding to a halt. ‘This death,’ rasped the voder, ‘this death is ours. We choose it. We deny you your victory.’ With a single burning nerve impulse, the mind of the warrior at the heart of the Dreadnought uncoupled the governor controls on his compact fusion generator and let it overload. For a moment there was a tiny star on the battered plains outside the Choral City, marking two more lives lost within a maelstrom of murder."
Istvaan V's gonna be sad; but let's be honest you're probably going to give the best lore showing of the Iron Hands to date. I mean BL might not like showing Ferrus Manus in a good light, but my bet is you describing his last charge will be noteworthy even for you.
The Flesh is Weak, brother! We remember how the treacherous bastards at GW handled our legion and gene-father. But, Emperor be damned if Oculus is gonna let us down!
I heard that approx 6 Kriegsmen could kick the crap out of Ferrus Manus. He lost his head after getting pissed drinking diamond white and slam dancing at the Krazy House.
It is what happened when a chaos/ emperors children fan boy writes your legion lore. The ferrus manus primarch book angers me with how great it could be but how bad it was.
@@lollypop697 oh the flesh is weak, brother, but it endures. A lesson missed, a misunderstanding of a father passed to sons, but of course, they endured.
I don't often do this kinda thing but I just felt like I had to show my love for this channel. Oculus, I really cannot stress enough how this is my absolute favourite channel in all of TH-cam. I could and have rewatched your videos countless times throughout the years. I use them to fall asleep, I use them to relax, they are absolutely brilliant. You are an amazing writer and just as good of a narrator. No other 40k media gets me as immersed in the universe as your videos. You are incredibly talented and don't ever let anyone say otherwise. Never change and please never stop putting out videos like this. Much love and God bless brother!
@@darkhighwayman1757 the world eaters no the war hounds have been redeemed in my eyes now knowing they had the largest contingent of loyalists out of all the traitor legions.
After 30 plus years of lore immersion, until hearing your opening monologue, i had hope. Really hit home that on a single day, as a species, we damned ourselves. Really great work. Takes alot to trigger certain emotions, especially over scifi lore. Keep up the great content man
Best 40k lore channel. No overly-dramatic articulation and awesome images that compliment the narration and topic of discussion. God, I can’t stand overtly dramatic speech, no one wants to listen to a guy who sounds like he has three jawbreakers in his mouth. Oculus Imperia for life baby!
@@caleb1925 Honestly, Amber King's been getting _too_ hammy with the excessive inflections on his words. There is such a thing as too dramatic, and that threshold got crossed a few vids back. I only say it because he was becoming my favorite before he started overseasoning the dish, so to speak.
Truly another beautiful labor of love, my friend! I can just imagine acolytes all over this grand imperium being fully enraptured by your lectures. Be they slaving over a data slate, or in privileged grace at the hallowed halls of the Scholla Progenium. You are an immense source of both knowledge and inspiration, Historitor. Ave imperium!
This was beautiful. Your channel is criminally under-sub'd and your videos criminally under-viewed. Thank you for all the hard work you put into such an amazing and lengthy video.
I just noticed the Logos Historica Vertia part in the computer. "Vertia, to leak, pour, spill, well, flow". Logos Historica Vertia just got a fairly humorous meaning to me :D
Interestingly, isn’t the actual canon dept called the “Logos Historica Verita” ie “the true historical word” / “the true history” ? A subtle difference, but with a profound change in meaning. 😅
Damn, the introduction about "The first shot" was absolutely amazing! Harrowing, but amazing. That is why I love the 30k/HH setting so much, it is the death of the dream of humanity.
You're the last remaining 40ktuber long format channel. All others have gone to wayside. I love you, have been watching you since you sounded like you injected caffeine, and seeing you grow has been fun.
once again you prove that you are the master of our favourite universe's lore. thankyou for the care in which you take to provide such a wondrous listening experience.
Just finished watching your old video on Iron Warrirors, and then this pops into my feed. Occulus, if your dedication to this Emperium wasn't without question, I would charge you as a heretic psyker of some sort!
I needed some educational materials to listen to while easing the pains of my household machine spirits. Thank you for this blessing, Lord Oculus. May He Upon The Throne light your way.
As usual, a great rendition. From 1:21:49, I see why Dorn selected Loken to help defend the Saturnine fault. The loyalist defence is a remarkable inspiration.
In many ways, I believe that if there was a parallel to the Pillar of Autumn from Halo within 40k, the sole contenders of such a tragic honor are the Eisenstein and the Survivors of Cadia’s Fall.
I think the whole flight of the Eisenstein thing has been around since rogue trader/epic. Its been a while though, so don't quote me on that. So, while I don't think its inspired by Halo, I still think its a incredibly neat comparison of the two events as Halo (Reach was my shit back in the day!)/40k fan and the tragic events that transpired with those two vessels.
@@lollypop697 I agree both the Eisenstein and the Pillar of Autumn, in many ways, share the same role while being individually distinct. Both are veritable Arks Carrying Persons whose survival will determine the fate of their respective versions of Human interstellar civilization. Both are ships fleeing the fate of doomed worlds broken by war.
It's the passion and creativity of people like oculus that make 40k great. GWS should consider themselves in your debt sir. For its you other great channels who propergate the law and stories of the emperium of man. Carry on sir. Carry on ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The traitors finding themselves fighting Astartes who survived a virus bombing must have shared a thought with Imperfect Cell: "How durable is he?! How durable am I?"
its is a complete shock that the Horus Heresy even in its infancy faced some of the greatest challenges of its entire history. the Flight of the Eisenstien giving the Preatorian time, the Actions of the now Renamed Luna Wolves, War Hounds, Dusk Raiders and the Loyalist Third ensuring pain blood and time even after being subjected to exterminatus requiring the intervention of two of the three present primarchs to overcome and it still taking weeks. Istvaan III is seen in much the same light as Isstvaan V as an great Imperial defeat but i consider it pivitol to and even if horus attained a phyrric victory in that the loyalists were eventually wiped out he quiet possibly lost the entire Civil war in the first battle.
you break my heart. I seriously can't escape your words. i cry. i cry when you say. worlds could be killed. you dreamed of a better world. Im sorry imperia. we failed you.
Your videos come on automatically at night. At first, I thought it was the Burning of Prospero. Which usually comes on at night . But I didn't recognize what was being said, as I've heard it and it's music so many times.
If only the Loyalist ships in orbit made the decision to Warp jump to Terra instead of looking for vengeance... Magnus wouldn't have damaged the Webway with his warning as the warning would have been delivered well before, the Heresy would have been acted upon earlier, Ferrus Manus may have survived as he wouldn't have blindly went to Istvaan IV if go there at all, the Traitor Primarchs may have been captured or killed instead of escaping into the Eye, the Emperor may have survived it all and the Imperium might not be the despotic realm that it is now
58:15 2yrs too late, but I just realized that the “account of Crysos Morturg appended to this record” is missing at 56:00. That’s ~2.5min of history missing from this record. D;
I love this channel, I'm on his Patreon, so this is a serious question: does anyone prefer these combined videos as opposed to just a play list? I like the little asides as he is getting ready to log off, and I don't mind the intro and outro music. I also feel like these must take away at least a little bit of time he could be using for his next project. Now, if people don't agree with me, I'll shut up. I want him to get the most views possible, and if the multi-hour compilation videos are drawing in more people, that's great. But let's have a discussion. What do you think?
Length can seem daunting, but remind oneself to pause and return later. Personally, the sheer quality is such that before i realise, im at the end, and craving more.
Can someone explain me why Angron descended on the bombarded Isstvan? And why exactly did Captain Earlan (prob spelled wrong) fight him? I am new to the lore and have some struggles understanding that part, since it was first explained that Horus was shocked and feared his legions landing. But then why? If Angron sided with the traitors, why were they scared? I probably heard wrong and am confused, please don't brand me a heretic.
They were scared because they needed him as an ally and he did something so stupid and spiteful that it could have gotten him killed, plus horus wanteted to do a second bombardment.
Just processing the idea was nearly traumatizing. Your lord and father a being of such majesty whom you would have followed into the depths of hell .Ordering you to ur death without a tear or regret. If you survived the bombardment he would order your gene brothers down to the surface men you have fought along side for centuries whom you have bled and bonded with. In a previous campaign you may have saved his life or vice versa and now they come into your sights still wearing the same colored armor as ur own but instead of a joyful reunion they will kill you without hesitation. In that scenario I would have preferred to be a world eater I would already hate Angron and now have no obligation to loyalty. Nails or no I would gladly butcher those honorless dogs he commands in the name of the emperor with pride and a clear conscience. If saw the slave lord or that disgrace to the brotherhood Kharn I would try and a few nicks in perhaps a wound or scar that would never truly heal show them that this war hound still has teeth.
Animals are most dangerous when backed into a corner. And they'd learn that lesson again and again, so long as this War Hound had teeth to bear, and energy to spare.
I don't care one bit about W40K nor its lore. Never read it. Don't know the terms, the names, the setting, nothing. That said, I enjoyed this story thoroughly, as it gave me just enough set-dressing to go on and presented a complete, self-contained story without relying on any external materials to make it work. This is a grand work of lore-reading - worthy of being sold in hardcopy if compiled with a few more equal to it, for which I shall now search in the annals of your channel.
would have been interesting if we had a book or something where some dudes decide to visit istvaan 3 and 5 , lets see what remains of these ancient battlefields
Excellent video as always. I do have a question, though. Is the misspelling of "Logos Historica Verita" (spelt as Vertia in the intro VO) deliberate on your part?
could you please do something on the Raid on Kastorel-Novem there is nothing for new or at least players who weren't in the game long enough to read the IA Book before it was discontinued
I'm looking for a voice read horus heresy , one guy started it and it was only this on his channel. 1st part was amazing, 2nd part really awesome and I was waiting for the 3rd part and more and I can't find it.. not in my history or anywhere.. not by luetin or many other popular ones.. it felt like he was only doing this one project. Think he used an AI voice and wrote his own perspective of the whole thing.. anyone anywhere know where I can find this?? That guy and that project was really awesome..

Vox in the Void posted a short story from the perspective of a loyalist World Eater on Istvan 3. It made me want to hear this retelling again.
Great story, too. The loyalist World Eaters’ plight was tragic even for 40K, and that tale really humanized them for me.

There is no 'we' here, kindred.
There is only Erebus and his inevitable weakness.

Once I was changing cat litter and it was a very dark grey and it reminded me of the istvan massacre. I needed to share that.
This content makes me sad, for the emperor….
But through all this, we got Ancient Rylanor yeeting a Twisted Tea virus bomb in Fulgrims fac… RIP
Thank you Lore Daddy
Come for the lore. Stay for the voice.
Where did the upcoming hunter the parenting audio log go? Can't see It anywhere
So excited for this video.
Looking forward to this
Wonderful as always
That introduction though... GW needs to hire you.
Does anyone have the link to his background music?
This was perfect!
Just a little itch that doesn't go away no matter how much you scratch lol
Stunning truly stunning
Ooooh Oculus, you handsome devil, stealing sleep from me so I can be truly enlightened.
I enjoy your narration
Nicely done. Thank you
What weapon are they carrying at 1:18:08?
Lascannons
would have been interesting if we had a book or something where some dudes decide to visit istvaan 3 and 5 , lets see what remains of these ancient battlefields
The noise marines were a masterpiece of an abomination of the astartes
Ah the Isstvan system, while my legion did not play any (official) part in III, our impact on V rings out without question.
Perty did better by killing almost all the Salamanders with a single nuclear strike from orbit.
@@InquisitorXarius An orbital strike really is the most Perturabo way to do mass fratricide. Impersonal, efficient, makes a very large boom.
@@Kropothead Agreed
Please hurry up and get to the Dropsite Massacre so I can be even more depressed!
Well Done 👍
Love your work
Thanks 😊
Is a stupid question to ask what the loyalists were eating? Their own fallen I have to imagine, I don't think they'd have had any other food right?
Excellent video as always. I do have a question, though. Is the misspelling of "Logos Historica Verita" (spelt as Vertia in the intro VO) deliberate on your part?
could you please do something on the Raid on Kastorel-Novem there is nothing for new or at least players who weren't in the game long enough to read the IA Book before it was discontinued
I'm looking for a voice read horus heresy , one guy started it and it was only this on his channel. 1st part was amazing, 2nd part really awesome and I was waiting for the 3rd part and more and I can't find it.. not in my history or anywhere.. not by luetin or many other popular ones.. it felt like he was only doing this one project. Think he used an AI voice and wrote his own perspective of the whole thing.. anyone anywhere know where I can find this?? That guy and that project was really awesome..
GW probably had the video pulled. Frustrating how they treat the fans.
Story time 😊
Betrayal! Purest form of sacrifice!
Dude epic video helping me get through a tough thing iml
Glory in excelsus terra. Your brothers stand with you. Hope in time things become better, fellow 40ker
