Not a fun mech fact but a fun comp/con fact. I was looking for a dark mode theme and found the HORUS option, and it changes the main page into a chat room showing you what an in world HORUS chat node would look like! I think dogmod and caligula are the mods there too, they're one discussing the lich iirc. It's all simulated sadly but its really neat
There's also a bunch of them hornyposting about their mechs. Very fun theme. Also: if you switch to HORUS theme and back to another, the chat keeps going, corrupting the output of your new terminal until you refresh the page. This is probably a bug but it's very funny.
There's no way to prove it, but I choose to believe that "Drink deep and descend" is a Twin Peaks reference: th-cam.com/video/9ShRdYm2ogE/w-d-xo.html It definitely shares the vibe
No mention of 11DragonKid? The first and most prolific Lancer lore person? though admittedly, the pure Text-to-speech format might annoy some, but It has some great moments, Their Lich video is just top notch.
No mention of him cause just admittedly I don't watch him. The only stuff I have seen is a couple of his build videos. I can see why he has done so well. Just not my taste.
So, funny thing about the Calendula. According to most sources, the first combat mechs were designed during the Hercynian crisis, with the "Worldkiller" Genghis Mk. 1 being the very first combat mech designed, around 4500-4560u. This makes the Calendula *really* confusing. First contact with the people that would become the Karrakin Trade Baronies was around 2800u. I don't really have a good explanation for this. What the hell Horus. Xenoglossia aren't clean of time fuckery either Both the Iskander and Barborossa appear to imply that artificial gravity tech is pretty unstable to incredibly unstable. Notable uses outside of mechs are to prevent you from being smushed when you go from 0 to 0.9c while running away from combat, and also Los Voladores because they just have artificial gravity on their ships. They're cool like that If the Napolean feels like some HORUS shit, remember that while HORUS might be a bit more out there with their paracausal technology, HA is the only company that has a bunch of NHPs in constant near-cascade (The Think Tank), just so they can learn how to break physics faster. They are probably at the forefront of paracausal research. Small correction with the Enkidu and Genghis Mk1. Union were originally the ones who came up with them, back when Union was the Second Comittee. After the thirdcomm revolution, HA inherited the designs and were the ones to spin them into something less nightmarish
Barbarossa isn't a mech with a ship-scale railgun _slapped on,_ comrade. Barbarossa is a ship-scale railgun that had a mech _built around it._ Y'know, like how the A-10 is a rotary cannon with a plane built around it.
Lol good point. Should have caught that cause I find that even funnier. I can picture a Harrison Amory exec wistfully staring at on of their giant railguns and just thinking "God I wish you had legs" And having an epiphany.
Honestly, giving HORUS's seemingly purposeful anonymity and vagueness, I would be surprised if the following wasn't a regular occurrence: HORUS Cell Leader: Ah! Prepare to die in RA's name! Enemy: Wait, what? But we're going to kill you in RA's name!? HORUS Cell Leader: Wait... WHAT?!? You guys are also with HORUS?!?! Enemy: ...You too? HORUS Cell Leader: Well, this is awkward... Steve! Why didn't anyone find out these guys were also HORUS before we got ready to attack them???
Oh yeah Hydra can bisect you if you pilot it wrong (I heard about it and I think it was also in lore that fist test piloting of this thing sometimes ended with you getting torn apart when Hydra started to tear the drones off itself)
Ra speaks through what seems to be the inhabitants of Deimos (or things made to look like them), which would give credence to the idea of the Minotaur's descriptions (filled with multiple voices shown by the changing colours), being the words and voice(s?) of Ra.
Just an update cause new mechs, Gilgamesh: most HA pilots look down on Gilgamesh pilots for piloting them because they aren't flashy enough which led to furious comanders proceedings to pilot them as a way to lead by example. But also let's face it, it's a mech that can strategically blow off an arm, replace it, then beat you to death with the arm it just ripped off.
Just in like how its written or is there more overt stuff hidden in the Minotaur's license? I just havent read House of Leaves yet so I didn't recognize anything that could have been a reference.
@@glueboythe book is about a review of a documentary that doesn't exist, and it's about a family moving into a house that's bigger on the inside, it also features a Minotaur... And the minotaur is this strange entity that may or may not haunt a character called Johnny who finds the review It's really cool how the idea of mazes and sruff being bigger on the inside got used
So question I've heard the weapons and stuff is modular. Does that mean I can put the morning cloaks monoblade on a blackbeard if I have licenses in them???
If it isn't tied to the frame itself you can add it! Just gotta have the system points for it. If you mess around with the character builder on CompCon you'll see how it all works too.

Horus aesthetic stays winning honestly. Similar to how if you have a Horus license your sharecode or link gets corrupted characters in it.
@@glueboy HOLD UP WHAT DOES IT??? THATS SO COOL

Wouldn't be suprised honestly. Perfectly similar vibes.

Bruh my 40k goblin ass can not hear the word Horus without thinking about Lupercal ☠. Great video as usual BTW
Well, in my experience horus mechs are very good at dealing with any "emperor" or "god king" so....

Or how in Titanfall 2, the Predator cannon has the Legion built around it.
And remember, never let the Barbarossa anywhere near Tchaikovsky.
@@KOkami03no no no! The other way around! Don't let Tchaikovsky near the Barbarossa.

Then turns out it was puppeted by a different HORUS cell for an even more secretive purpose. Aint HORUS if it makes sense lol.
@@glueboy Well, that tends to happen when you mix a secret society-esque cult with Anonymous.
@@glueboyalpha legion levels of decentralized organisation.
( 8:44 ). Hey, do you like Warframe? Do you like playing the character Limbo? If so, play this mech. It’s as close to Limbo as is possible in game.
Oh yeah

( 16:58 ) Do you like Evangelion? Wanna be an Eva unit pilot? Play this guy. Just go ape-shit!
Man, being an Spanish speaker makes reading the Voladores entries even more raw for some reason lol
The "funnest" fact about the Genghis and Worldkiller is that Harrison didn't build the Mk.1 ...GMS did.
Just an update cause new mechs,

Im disappointed that you didnt mention the sherman mk1, everyone does my boy dirty
The Xunzi is based on tech given to HA by the Voladores, who are basically Mexican Space Wizards and really, really underrated.
BY SIGMAR, YES!
The Minotaur is kind of a house of leaves reference
Just in like how its written or is there more overt stuff hidden in the Minotaur's license? I just havent read House of Leaves yet so I didn't recognize anything that could have been a reference.
