He prayed to the ancient human demon Prince George Bush and entered the wall to give Horus the power to crash land speed as he went into the calve trade.
Oh my gosh. He had weapons of mass destruction.
That was a spicy answer there.
My fellow wardbearers, we must uh...
My fellow wardbearers!
They're weapons of mass destruction on calve!
Rome.
He's a Rome president as well.
Oh my god.
We do not negotiate with ultramarines.
When he was announcing this, did someone like throw a shoe at Erebus?
Hello, lore criminals, and welcome to the next episode of the Pub Quiz.
Today we'll be talking about everyone's favorite Warhammer character.
Some would say the protagonist of the story.
It's Mr.
Sorry.
Or the hate spills.
It's Mr.
Mr. Erebus.
Give him Mr. title.
Mr. Punchable Face himself.
Jeez.
True.
Go ahead, Zoe.
Seeing anyone as the protagonist of 40k is already a bold statement.
Except for Kato's Carius.
Pardon me, except for Kato's Carius.
Too fair, Erebus does think he is the protagonist.
If you kind of are new to Warhammer, you're gonna find out quickly this is the most despised character in all of Warhammer.
Even, dare I say, he's the Manfred von Carstein of fantasy.
Just letting some people out there know.
Same haircut.
Yeah.
At least Manfred is strong.
Yeah, or to fair, there's some bits of Erebus.
He can hold his own, but it does complete the sort of Warhammer theme or apparently baldness.
Like equaling evil.
All the evil characters are bald for some reason.
Hashtag male pattern evil.
And that's Erebus.
Yeah, we're not sponsored by any hair growth things yet, so we're not gonna talk against that.
I was about to shout out to a Primark for doing something and then realize that's a spoiler, could be a spoiler for the quiz.
I'd rather not waste my answers I have on Locke.
Keep his things together.
With that being said though, Andy, how is your Erebus knowledge?
I mean, I know as much as the next person I would say, but I mean, I haven't forgotten any of the things he's done to the characters I actually like.
So I'll just, I'll leave it at that.
Hashtag F Erebus, you know what I'm talking about.
Yes, unfortunately, if you are trying to type that in the comments, it will bleep you and hide your comment.
So get creative.
Hashtag F Erebus.
There you go.
Yeah, Erebus.
Eli, how do you feel slash how's your knowledge about everyone's favorite Warhammer character?
I haven't read Horses for so long, so it's not great.
I'm expecting an Andy victory today.
Pain indeed.
Colin, rounding it up, how do you feel about Erebus?
Well, as we were discussing, this is neither fantasy nor Xenos.
So I'm afraid Erebus definitely exists.
And that's all I'm willing to state on the matter.
He's bald.
He does in fact exist, which is one could say already a crime.
That being said, though, we're going to learn about more of his crimes today as we begin the first round of the quiz.
Is everybody ready for the beginner section of it?
Let's commit some heresy.
Commit some heresy.
Oh, God, my family disappointed.
So begin with question number one.
These are some slightly easier ones here.
Question number one, what is the role of Erebus within the word bearers Legion, specifically the Legion, not.
OK, can I is this I know the rank, but I have to say the Legion specific way of describing that rank.
That makes sense.
I would say yes.
This again, specific to legions, I can't give any more hints than that.
I'm not talking post horrors, heresy or anything like that.
I just want to know what was the role of Erebus within the word bearers Legion.
And unfortunately, this would be his place to spread his lies, deceitful lies of Erebus, the worst, the most hated character in Warhammer.
And we don't like it.
I think my answers are coming through here.
Oh, OK, OK.
Oh, we're feeling OK.
OK, so I'm going to give me more details.
That's good. That's good.
Moving on to question number two.
During the Great Crusade, what did what famously did Erebus steal and who from?
Oh, yeah. I think he kind of generic with this one because it was it gives it away.
I read that one more time during the Great Crusade.
What famously did Erebus steal and who from?
There are two points for this answer.
We're looking for the object slash thing he stole.
Maybe he stole a person who knows and from which faction.
So we say who he stole it from.
He stole the secret recipe from Colonel Sanders.
How dare he? Maybe it's not his.
The worst crime.
The sacred 11 herbs and spices.
My parents ate at the original KFC, like I think about a month ago,
and they said it was still just as horrible as every other KFC.
Sounds about right.
I think this episode not sponsored by KFC.
God, when I was a kid, I used to think I didn't work out how they would get the secret recipe to all the restaurants in time.
Like, I always thought they had to send someone to hold it in like a bag.
The herb custodian.
Yeah, like from branch to branch.
You know how like at the end of the day, like they have some nice armed police in the UK,
like he will collect like money from the tills.
I thought that was the equivalent of that.
Just in like a SWAT outfit with the like riot shield helmet and the armor padding.
Throwing spices at people.
Spec Ops team making sure the delivery goes smoothly.
Curiously, what was the age you guys first had your...
Because I came to a late, I didn't have KFC until I was like 20 something.
I didn't have KFC where I grew up.
I think quite quite late for what would be a kid.
I mean, like maybe 10, maybe 9, 10.
Honestly, I don't remember, but I don't think I was a teenager until I first had it.
I probably had it as a kid.
There was better chicken restaurants around.
I live in Canada, so it was the only fried chicken place we had at the time.
Yeah, not many options over here. True.
Brown's Chicken was my family's place to go.
And there's not only a couple of those stores, but none near me.
So I'm not doxxing myself.
Well, speaking of talking about...
Speaking of doxxing, question number three.
How's address? What is it?
Please don't.
Speaking of things that don't give us nostalgia.
Question number three.
In the real world, where does the name Erebus come from?
There's a little bit of...
Yeah, so it depends if you've looked this up.
Some people might not know this. Some people will.
I think I haven't decided, but I might give a bonus point if perhaps you know a bit more.
If you can add to the answer.
To a reasonable degree, I think people know.
If you know the answer, you kind of know what original thing it's born from.
I'm going to go generic.
How specific are you looking for? Because here's my thought process, right?
Yeah.
I have three layers in my mind.
The first layer, probably way too vague to count.
The second layer is something within the first layer.
This is a cake.
I'm trying my best to say...
You know what? Fuck it. There's my answer. Hopefully you'll understand what I mean.
An Erebus cake.
I think if you give a little bit of extra onto your answer, there might be a bonus point.
Let's just say.
Special herbs, secret sauce.
Up to you if you want to do that, though. Up to you.
Some people... If you are listening to this, or you might find this...
If you're listening, if maybe you're new, you might find this answer quite interesting.
Hopefully it will surprise you with some of the answers there.
I think that's everyone who's given me their answers.
We begin with the review of round one.
The first question was, what is the role of Erebus within the Wordbearers Legion?
I do start off with our main man, Andy.
Andy, he put the first chaplain slash senior dark apostle.
The answer I was looking for was...
Wait, let me check my answer there.
He was the first chaplain. That was the answer I was specifically looking for.
Eli put first chaplain as well.
Colin put chaplain.
I feel like it has to be more specific than that, to be honest.
Can I get just a half point? I did miss first chaplain, but I did still say chaplain.
Yeah, I think that's fair.
He didn't say librarian, he didn't say sergeant, he didn't say milkman.
He was on the money.
He didn't say milkman.
You know what? I think, yeah, I think we give a half point for that one.
That's not... It's not going to be unfair this early on.
We're always talking about the most hated man in Warhammer, so therefore let's keep it positive, shall we?
Next question number two was during the Great Crusade, what famously did Erebus steal and who from?
Back up to the top again.
Andy's answer was the anathame sword from the Kenebrak.
Oh, so good. It's a good answer.
I'll check the other ones quickly.
Eli, you put the anathame or anathama whatever demon dagger from the diaspora.
Diaspora is like a brand, but for... I'm going to say a diary.
Are you suffering from diaspora?
I got the name wrong, but I said what they were below that.
Just in case I get a half point.
He did specify a little bit. He said they were sci-fi space conglomerate, mostly human. I don't know.
I maybe got the name wrong, so I won't call it.
The begging has already begun.
Colin put the anathame in brackets, evil, bad, yucky sword in bracket from the interrex.
Now this is tricky because this is... it does get a bit specific here.
Andy, you get a point. I think you all get a point for saying the anathame, if I can see correctly.
It's a weird one because it's anathame and then they're broken into athame daggers, so it's like it shortens it slightly.
It's also not how that works, right?
I know, but still.
You don't get knives, you get a broken sword.
Excalibur has become Exc... that's it.
That's an expert.
Now, this is a hard one because I think Andy, you put from the Kinebrak, which is the...
I believe the Kinebrak is the alien race allied with the interrex.
They were. They were the Spockies.
He's Techni... oh, they're not the Jekiro.
They were different Spikes. No, those are not.
The Kinebrak were the Gorillas, I think. I don't know why I picked the Gorillas.
It's a hard one because the Kinebrak were allied with the interrex, but then...
They were guarding it as well.
The thing is, in my first ever video about Garveil Oaken, I mistakenly called the anathame the Kinebrak.
And everyone was like, no, that's the people that were guarding it.
And I was like, oops, that's my first mistake on my lore channel. Cool.
So, it's stuck with me ever since.
If you ever make a mistake, people will let you know.
You're bad.
The answer I am looking for is the interrex as the civilization.
I think I'm going to give Andy half a point there just because I think it is Techni...
The Kinebrak did make the sword, but they kind of... the civilization is the interrex.
So I'll give Andy half a point there.
Eli, you put the diaspora. I think that's the aliens from the Fulgrim novel.
Yes.
So, unfortunately, can't give one for that.
Colin got that one right, though. Colin, right on the money with the interrex.
So, for the man who says he doesn't know as Horace Harry, he's currently... he's kind of...
He's going to pull it out of somewhere.
And for question number three, it was in the real world, where does the name Erebus come from?
It's a little bit of real world history here.
Back up to top again, it's Andy. Andy put Greek god of darkness.
That's pretty...
That's a guess.
It's pretty good. Eli put Greek mythology. It's pretty solid.
And I believe Colin put the Bible where Jesus is from.
Spoilers.
Spoilers for the Bible going forward.
Mark was hoping to avoid spoilers for that, you know, 2000 year old book and religion.
Still waiting for the sequel. It's going to be good.
I think the whole Christianity is waiting for the sequel.
It's like, we got the sequel, it's like, no, the other sequel.
Not to diss anyone too hard here, but I believe Colin, the history major, is the only one to not quite get this one right.
You can major in something and still be wrong.
Relatable. I feel that.
The only bad historian is one who claims he knows everything, and I very much don't.
It's a good answer, though. Fortunately, it's not the right answer.
Greek mythology was the answer I'm looking for.
Give one point to Andy there and one to Eli.
I think... where's Eli's answer here?
I think we know.
No, I think Andy said Greek god of darkness.
I do believe I think Erebus is known as like the child of, specifically, chaos in Greek mythology by mortal beings.
I was honestly thinking like we've already got enough Greeks infusion in Warhammer.
He's a bit bad. Greek god of darkness.
You're actually both right because I just looked it up and it's Erebus, also spelled Erebus in Greek religion.
It says religion, like that's still going on.
Yeah.
The god of a dark region of the underworld and the personification of darkness.
So Andy, he is the son of chaos.
He's also the mother of Erebus' wife.
Okay. Erebus' wife.
Oh, that could take a different sense.
His Greek mythology was quite incestuous.
I can only know this because when I was making a meme before we started, I looked up Erebus and it wasn't a Warhammer 40k thing that immediately popped up.
Oh, so it's like 20 seconds before we started.
Well, that being said though, that's actually a pretty good performance so far in a beginner round, which we, not gonna lie, we've all had a little bit of struggle recently.
So it's nice to see that we're all doing well.
I haven't done very well in beginner rounds recently.
The review slash from the top is Andy is, I think, currently in the lead with three and a half points.
Hey.
In, I believe that is, oh no, in second place is Eli with three points and Colin has two and a half points currently.
So it's not pretty close.
It's pretty close.
There's not really much in it at the moment, but I think the next set of questions will separate the beginners from the experts, but we head off into the next section.
Is everyone ready?
Let's go.
I can.
I'm feeling warmed up, which means it's time for my aspirations to be crushed.
Never have anyone, so never have so many people been so eager for Erebus lore.
That being said, we begin with the intermediate section. So question number one, this one's a little bit, you have to think about this and you'll, it'll be obvious. Who from slash.
How did Erebus get his famous markings across his face?
Who from slash.
How did Erebus get his famous markings across his face?
Now, if you do know the answer, this is kind of, it's a little bit tricky, but that's kind of in theme with Erebus' general story.
So I will be a little bit, I mean, we'll see.
Well, I don't want to say what if they done it.
We'll see if they got it right.
And if people feel like the side chat as well here, obviously you're free to have your guesses too.
If you do know the right answer, though, please do let us know because we do like to have those people absolutely thrown about their big lore.
I don't know what I'm saying here.
Excuse me.
I believe I have some answers.
Okay, that's a gay lie.
Some of these answers are pretty good so far.
I wouldn't feel confident though.
I'm not gonna lie, I won't feel confident, boys.
A bit verbose, but I've sent my answer.
Oh, got some good answers there.
All right, we move on to question number two.
On Terra, Erebus found the Primarch's mother, Urda.
What did Erebus bring slash use to fight her?
And now I'm not looking for what he did to end her.
I'm looking for what did he slash accompany with him to fight her?
This is actually a really good scene from the book Warhawk, Siege of Terror.
Honestly, Warhawk has so many good bits in it, it's ridiculous.
If you haven't read many of the books in Warhammer, if you ever just start building up anything with Jack as I can, anything with white scars is an absolute dub.
It's a really, really good lore.
Although even though in this book there are other storylines that follow, this is such a good...
It is a well done scene as well, particularly when Urda and Erebus talk, because she actually owns him in conversation.
She calls him essentially just a petty little bitch, and he's like, I know, but here's this.
Oh, I got some good answers here.
I think Andy, have you sent your answer in yet?
Thing is, all I'm thinking of is Jagatai Khan in that book, so I can't think of anything else.
Oh, he's just dreaming. Andy once again dreaming of the Khan.
My man crush on the Khan is getting in the way today.
It's the Khan, I can't blame you.
I mean, everyone, I mean, Colin's got his man crush on Gillamon's, not Gillamon, Gillamon's just incredibly practical mind.
Eli loves his Fulgrim, Andy loves his Khan.
This one's got him in the bush, I carnally want Gillamon.
Oh, I was expecting that.
Okay. Wow, that, um, free me off.
It's called confidence hell, and I gotta have it.
You, I'm guessing you like the Caesar, the theme, he can Caesar yourself any day.
Oh, God. Abundant olive oil.
Stop, stop. Oh, disgusting.
I'm not really too fair. I did recently commission, commission a piece of artwork.
Oh yeah, the sea gutters.
Yeah, we did, I commissioned an art piece from my recent Lion video and there's, Gillamon is definitely shirtless in that, definitely.
I mean, any other like any artwork I've had done.
Where's this video, just asking for...
Someone doing an animation between the shirtless Magnus one you had done and the shirtless Gillamon, but everyone's just there waiting.
Like we're waiting for the real shit. We're waiting for like shirtless Korrax in all this pale glory or something.
I don't know what the fandom wants.
Why couldn't we? Cause they would be like calling Gondor for aid. The beacons are like...
I have a, even like when I did, I commissioned a Magnus piece as well. Like he's just literally Arnold and he's ripped and jacked and probably...
Wasn't that the interbreeding that the artist used with Arnold Schwarzenegger?
Yeah, for the Council of Nikea, which had never been made into artwork before.
Yeah. So I think everyone's thankful for that.
No matter how long I live, I've made a contribution to the Warhammer community. Lots of cool artwork there.
We're speaking about moving on and speaking and hearing about cool things.
We move on to question number three, and I think Eli is going to enjoy this one particularly, but it's going to test his knowledge.
A dark apostle on the tabletop has many abilities. Which one of these abilities is not on the dark apostles data sheet?
Which one is a lie?
Now I will quickly post the options down here just so people, for the lovely boys here, you guys can all essentially see that.
I will read them out for the people here, so it's in the general for you boys. But the options are Dark Zealotry, Demon Kin, Demi-Gog, and Maline Sacrifice.
So if any of you have played against Chaos Space Marines, fortunately we haven't got anything word-bearer specific, which breaks my heart.
Because I want to make a word-bearer army, and 9th edition had some cool stuff, but 10th edition needs to cook a little bit longer, bro.
But one of these ones is a lie. I need you to write down the lie.
I have, but he was playing Slash Focus. I don't know if he casted any spells.
Do you think you know this one, Eli?
I think so. I know two of them for sure on it.
I think Eli has often complained there's not been enough tabletop questions.
These don't sound right.
No, that's the thing. I will ruin it slightly though.
The one that's the lie is also an ability used by Chaos Space Marines, so it's not used by a Dark Apostle.
That means I might have still seen it.
So therefore Dark Apostle, obviously Erebus being a Dark Apostle, could technically have access to these abilities,
but one of these is used by another unit within the roster and is not available for the Dark Apostle.
So pick the one that's the lie.
Pick the lie. Tell me which one is the lie. Erebus is known for his trickery and lies.
It is a hard one, but again, if not, you've got a one in four chance. They all sound pretty Chaos Space Marines.
I'll read them out for the people just listening one more time.
The abilities are Dark Zealotry, Demon Kin, Demigog, and Malign Sacrifice.
I wish I had all the... I should have gotten them all down so I could have read out what they all do, but then I might have given it away.
I'm going to guess. Andy's struggling on this one here.
I never guess. No, I don't play tabletop. How dare you?
I know. But Andy will paint tabletop though in the future. No spoilers there.
Yeah, hopefully. I mean, to be honest, if I had a table, I would play tabletop, but I don't have a table or a space to put my models.
That's the only thing that's stopping you, a table.
OK, well, with that being said, though, it's now time to review the round. So we begin back at the top here, which was question number...
Well, heck, number four. Question number four.
From who slash how did Erebus get his famous markings across his face?
Let me just see what, again, top of the line, what Andy put.
Andy put, he killed the artist formerly known as Erebus with a garrote and then copy pasted his markings to be more like Erebus, as his mum and dad said.
Not bad, not bad. Eli, you put, he really likes henna and loves to post on Instagram with tiny filters. So cute.
I love and I hate that aggressively.
Hashtag Wink. Yeah, that's right.
Feeling fabulous might heresy later, don't know something.
Might implode humanity into civil war.
Feeling chaotic might commit heresy later.
Oh no. That's right.
That's right. I do love that answer.
From Lorgar with a tattoo gun. As metal as that is, unfortunately, that isn't correct.
The true answer is he got his markings from, or Erebus got his markings from Erebus.
Because he stole the identity of the, as Andy said, the artist formerly known as Erebus, the boy from his village on Colchis.
And so when he stole the markings from the boy, he basically just copied all of it and he took, and he even took his name.
And it's really, and I added that last bit because yeah, he was so petty, his mum and dad were like, you're a disgrace.
You should be more like Erebus. And he took that literally. And that's what he did.
He became the Erebus in my heart.
We have Erebus at home and now we have Erebus.
We have Erebus at home.
Moving on to the next one. Question number five was on terror. Erebus found the Primarch's mother, Urda.
What did Erebus bring slash use to fight her?
Again, top of the line back to Andy. Andy put an anathame dagger slash spit.
I don't think he spat on her.
I think she spat on his face and then he was like, shank. I think that's what happened.
I don't think he spat on her, unfortunately.
But he was armed with the spit. He was like, it's now mine.
He was armed with the spit.
OK, yeah, unfortunately he didn't. I mean, that would be a really like out of character side move, but also kind of in line with his character, if anyone knows what I mean.
Eli put his one, brought his gang greater demons of each god. Not bad, not bad.
And Colin put four greater demons as well as an anathame dagger in brackets.
Don't remember the stupid shortened name. Yeah, I know. We just talked about it. About law is stupid.
The correct answer I was looking for was he brought, he didn't just bring one, he brought four greater demons of chaos, had them in his cloak.
I imagine it like if he went to a cinema and he had to like stack himself.
Yeah, looking like an adult and they're just all stacked up.
It's like one ticket to Oppenheimer, please.
I know, you definitely say Barbie. But yeah, the answer was four greater demons of chaos.
I think Eli and Colin get a point there.
I thought he did bring the anathame dagger with him, but he didn't really fight her with it.
He just kind of finished her off. All I could think of was he she spat on his face and then he went, all right, stab.
And that's all I can remember. All right. Just take it.
Gotric and an Arian would have handled it. Yeah, true. Bring in the fantasy at any cost.
It's all I have. Oh, that is sad.
The next question was a dark apostle on the tabletop has many abilities.
Which one of these abilities is not on the dark apostles data sheet?
Which one is a lie? Our options were dark, zealotry, demon kin, demigod and malign sacrifice.
I believe, Andy, you put demigod. Is any reasoning for this one or just a random choice?
Any just hope and, you know, pray in a shoot in the dark?
It's just a guess. I have no idea.
Fair enough. Eli put dark zealotry and I believe Colin put malign sacrifice.
And I hate to disappoint people. It's a it is in fact demon kin.
Bro, you trolled me. I was going to put that and then you said it's an ability that chaos space queens have.
That's not true. Regular chaos space marine squads don't have the demon kin keyword.
But demon kin is an ability I believe.
I thought you make chaos space means is in like the unit chaos space.
Oh, no, just a slight misinterpretation.
I think it's master of possession has the ability of demon kin.
I was like, there's no way that it has a demon kin keyword.
And then you're like, oh, but chaos space means also don't have it.
And then they also have these. Oh, my gosh. It's a unfortunately I don't think anyone got that one right.
I was like, go ahead. Go ahead.
I always think like, you know, like dark zealotry, the word bearers, you know, they're very they're the most zealous legion demagogue.
You know, if they're they're like preaching their religion and demon kin is like they were the first ones to, you know, the gal vorbeck.
Yeah, whatever they were the first ones to have, you know, possessed Marines malign sacrifice.
That's just that's just chaos. That's what all of them do.
I mean, the thing was malign chaos sounds the best.
And I'm like, I think that must be one. And then the what was it?
The the first one talks about the dark zealotry.
I was like, it's quite on the nose, but this is 40K.
It's probably a thing. And then it was like a toss up between the other two and a four.
They've probably got demon stuff. So demagogue is a bit more generic.
So I think demon kin is the ability of the master of possession.
I think it's something to do with allowing an ability on the charge.
It's just a keyword, bro.
I don't know. It's specifically called in the ability.
I know I did choose that one just because it sounded so like like on the money.
I want to refund. He wants a refund.
And master of the possession is nine tenths of the word.
Unfortunately, no one got a point on that one.
But we all almost all hammered, none of them got it correct.
Brilliant. I had the right answer between the four options.
Everyone chose everything but the options.
So pain. But as we review here, I believe we have Andy on four and a half points.
Eli's on four and Colin is on three and a half.
So it's actually still really close, really close on this one.
I'm not going to lie, there's a lot of there's an opportunity for some point catch up later.
It will be Horus Heresy related.
So pain for some people.
But is everyone ready to begin the expert section?
Yeah. Yeah.
OK. Colin not sounding like he's having a good voice.
Because everyone hates Erebus and now Colin hates this specifically.
Erebus has ruined his day yet again.
My blood sugar was doing so good.
I can't believe you've done this.
That's how we feel.
The opening question for the expert section is utilizing an anathame dagger.
Erebus was trained by a lodge priestess to do what ability?
Oh, yeah, this is this is quite you would have to have.
You take a guess at this.
Obviously, it's utilizing, again, are we happy?
Utilizing an anathame dagger.
Erebus was trained by a lodge priestess to do what ability?
For people who are listening as well, there's a weird moment where like he has kind of 40 days in the desert kind of thing.
But it's again, Erebus focus.
So it's definitely not good things happening.
I don't want to give him too many spoilers.
I don't want to give me answers here, but there's I've got three potential ideas, but I'm not sure which ones I'm crossing the wires with.
Say it again, please.
Oh, my god, Eli is.
You had to post that in the general Eli when we did the reading out.
Oh, my goodness.
Oh, oh, there's some some spicy answers here.
Spicy answers.
And it's specifically with the a theme, is it?
I can give a little bit of extra detail if people want.
So utilizing an anathame dagger, Erebus was trained by a davenite lodge priestess to do what ability?
Knowing Andy has read the Horus heresy in its entirety.
So it's kind of a it's a toss up between I have like this.
There's like two or three things Erebus has done and I'm like, but did it involve the spooky, scary dagger?
And I'm not sure. So I'm going to go kind of safe with this one.
Unfortunately, Erebus has done a lot of spooky, annoying things in the law.
He's he deserves it all. He's the worst.
And we see if Andy's and do you give me his answer here?
Yes, we. Oh, oh, interesting, interesting.
OK, OK, that'll be an interesting one to tackle.
The next question is what is the self-proposed nickname that Erebus gave himself?
This is the when you people hear this, they'll be like, you can hear without even hearing it.
You could literally just get an audible groan from millions of people around the world.
We are united by many things, you know, love, whatever.
All that everyone is united in the groan of this name.
Yeah, I have a pun, but I don't want to reveal it yet because it will give away the answer.
Also, don't know this one.
This is obviously an opportunity to write, particularly if you are in the side chat here.
Please give us the worst, obviously within reason.
Don't send off the YouTube, the YouTube gods, but give us your worst Erebus nickname slash self-given titles.
We'd love to hear it. Erebus the Stankhand.
There we go. Very tame.
Does it smell bad? Does he dance with it?
OK, Eli. OK, OK.
I don't know if I could read out even one of Eli's answers because it's so difficult.
I mean, it's in theme, but it's just like, oh, wow, it's a bit overstimulating.
No, stop, Eli, stop. OK, I think everyone's given me their answer.
Moving on to the last question.
This one's a bit of a... this will be a points one here.
So everyone needs to get their brain going on this one.
There are six major events that Erebus claims to be the architect of.
And now just a specification, it could be specific or broad in your answer.
Bonus points if you can... sorry, I read it wrong.
There are six major events that Erebus claims to be the architect of.
Name these events. It can be a specific one or something more broad.
And you get bonus points if you can name more.
And I will put a caveat here.
When I say events, he means like I'm talking civic battles or galaxy changing events,
not just he had an interaction with a specific character.
It was a bit sad. I'm talking like the big, you know, what's Erebus essentially responsible of?
What are his crimes? I want to see his rap sheet, essentially.
And if you're struggling for answers, feel free to add ones that are law crimes
or maybe even real war crimes. We don't discriminate over on law crimes.
If you want to make it funny, I won't judge.
How many were you looking for?
I have got six that I think Erebus claims to be the main architect of.
Some of them, again, some of them I'll give a hint, some of them are specific,
but some of them are quite broad and, you know, like a very big event.
But think of I'm talking battles, I'm talking things that change the galaxy, the Imperium.
It's not just, again, not specifically a conversation, but actual events, you know,
things that are talked about in the law is like big, big deals.
Again, if you're struggling for answers, feel free.
And if you're in the side chat along here as well, feel free to suggest even just funny ones.
I mean, we like the funny ones, but, you know, if it's even a little bit serious, I don't mind
if anyone wants to give serious answers, but the funny ones do make us chuckle
because all you're listening along here. We do appreciate those very greatly.
Also, we have a small shout out to people answering the question of the week
with some really funny answers recently.
We've been actually howling at someone's ones and we do really simply enjoy the Bretonnia themed ones.
I mean, like more than the fantasy one. We do appreciate the fantasy ones here.
Again, if you want to see more fantasy, you have to let us know because YouTube is, obviously,
it does want us to do more 40k stuff, but we do like talking about fantasy and torturing Andy with...
I think we should do another Fireside fantasy.
So if you want to give suggestions for something like Colin could tell Andy about in the Fireside fantasy,
that would be really cool too. We'd appreciate that.
They're going to say Lizardman. I don't know Lizardman that well.
I mean, I've already seen a lot of the comments and it's majority Lizardman.
But there were people saying maybe you could do a compilation of them and some other factions
that are maybe a similar size, so it's more like hefty of a chat.
I just need to learn more about them.
I mean, hefty lizards.
I mean, I thought, to be honest, Archeon, I thought a whole one on Archeon on Warriors of Chaos would be really...
That one would actually slap violently.
That's one of the few things I remember.
Is it Lord Master of Sotek? He did it years ago, a video on Archeon.
That's one of the first Warhammer lore videos I ever watched.
I was like, oh man, this is kind of cool. Warhammer Fantasy does slap hard.
Also, it had like really... Warhammer Fantasy, when you listen to it as well,
sometimes it kind of feels like it feels old school in its own telling.
I can just feel like an actual mythology to it, which I always really enjoyed.
Oh, I've got my answers in. Oh God. OK, that's a lot.
OK, so we begin the top of the round here.
So back for the points review.
The question of the...
The question of the expert section was, utilizing an anathame dagger, Erebus was trained by a Lodge Priestess to do what ability?
And let me just see Andy's answer here. Andy put Resurrect Horus.
Hmm. Specifically with the anathame dagger?
I mean, do you want to read out the other one? Because I had several ideas.
I'll read out. Hopefully, Eli, you could take yours and post it in the general chat.
We might have to post it to the people here, but I will read it out for the audio listeners.
Eli made us a gorgeous meme. He's put,
Agothal, that Slaaneshi boy pussy got me questioning my loyalty to the Emperor.
That's going in the edit. OK.
Oh, it's kind of true.
It's in the edit.
It's got me...
Unfortunately, that's definitely not correct, but it got me acting up.
Colin, I think Colin put, bind demons to Marines.
Unfortunately, the answer I was looking for was the priestess trained him to cut a tear into the warp and Erebus could enter into the warp and travel.
That's actually cool.
It's in the short story Shards of Erebus. This happened, I think, a year before the destruction of Kalf.
And Erebus learns the ability to take the anathame dagger and essentially almost just teleport.
So that's how he's able to get around a lot of places and escape and hide into a certain event later.
I got thrown off because Cor Phaeron does that as well. He's got an anathame dagger and he does the same thing.
But I was like, is it resurrecting Horus by using the anathame to injure him in the first place?
Is it creating the Ruin Storm? Is it transportation?
Or was it something else that I couldn't think of? So I was a bit...
It could have been a few things. I thought specifically just because it was the anathame sword when Horus was corrupted.
And Erebus later would break apart the anathame sword and they would give the daggers to the members of the dark.
Yeah, and they were like, what's this thing? It's a bit rubbish.
And they're like, no, they're good. And then one of them loses it and it's like back on its belt at one point.
And you say, where did that come from? Huh? That's weird.
Go iPhone in my wallet did that.
Unfortunately, I don't think anyone got any points for that one. Just double checking.
Unfortunately, Boy Pussy got me questioning my Lord to the Emperor is not quite the same as entering the warp.
Although, I mean, it could be entering the warp in some people's view, but it's not quite what I was looking for.
The next question was, what is the self-proposed nickname that Erebus has given himself?
Andy, you put the hand of destiny. I mean, as I said, that one is correct.
But you know what it makes you think of? It makes you think of Indiana Jones. It's like Erebus Jones and the hand of destiny.
I didn't think of Destiny's Child, but I thought...
I think I've seen Erebus in a Destiny's Child music video. That'd be weird.
He's just really into Bungie games.
My light level is almost at 420. I just need to get more drip.
Stop buying stuff in the Erebus. You're ruining the game.
Let's get the last DLC. Trust me, dude. It's a great idea. Trust me.
Bungie's descent into evil.
Oh, God. Blizzard is licking over the side, being like, wow, welcome to the club.
I mean, that's too harsh. Unfortunately, Eli, architect of chaos probably, or Big Daddy Bus.
As much as he's probably might call himself Big Daddy Bus, that's not the answer I was looking for.
Colin, you put Gork the fat hog of...
What?
It's Gork slash the fat hog.
Where did that come from?
Where did it come from? It came from my brain.
What was the impetus for that idea? I don't know. It's an interesting choice.
I don't know what the impetus was that came out.
Why do I know the way... I'm just picturing someone like, oh, my God, it's the Warbearers.
And it's the fat hog.
Lorgar brought his fat hog to Scamaphrax. Oh, no.
You know that every time they say it, there's a massive emphasis on the F.
The fat hog.
And Erebus just comes in going, he's snorting again. Run, run.
Oh, my gosh. I don't know why I thought Gork was the funnier between the two I put.
I would have thought fat hog might come from a Sleneshi champion.
Unfortunately...
Gork gives Erebus his gamertag when he's playing Roadhog on Overwatch. There you go.
Only Andy got that one, so Andy gets a point on there.
Can you place it under the arctic?
Erebus are not baby-ay.
Baby, OK. I feel dirty just saying that.
Unfortunately, that's also not correct. The Hand of Destiny does not, in fact...
I'm not going to finish that.
You've finished up to the stove, you better finish cooking.
It's the Hand of Destiny, but the Hand does not produce nut.
It's not producing nut.
As we said earlier, though, the Hand of Destiny produces a universal groan because no one else calls him that except himself,
because he thinks so highly of himself.
Reminds me of that scene in Red Dwarf where he was like, you know what they used to call me at school?
No? Ace.
Shut up! No one called you Ace. Yeah, they did. No, they didn't.
It is like a guy going to college and saying, like, oh, here's my new nickname, and no one called him that before.
So he's like, I'm trying it out. Just saying that word.
The artist formerly known as Erebus, formerly known as Erebus now known as the Hand of...
No, no, no, no. You've already done one name swap. You can't do it again.
Formerly known as Fat Hog would be amazing.
But with the last question we have, there are six major events that Erebus claims to be the architect of.
Can you name these for me?
In brackets, it can be specific or broad.
Bonus point, you can name more.
I'm just going to quickly read out the answers just so we can compare them.
The ones I've chosen or just when I looked up in the lore, because I'm currently doing a big amount of research for Erebus myself.
So there could have been a lot of events he claimed, but I just chose the big ones.
The Horus Heresy in general, obviously the big one.
Stealing the Anathame Blade, which set off basically the downfall of Horus and obviously things later.
I also put a separate one, the Corruption of Horus slash the Battle on Daven.
Obviously giving the Anathame to Eugen Tembur, I believe.
Eugen Tembur.
Isfarn III, Erebus was in fact the one who suggested Isfarn III.
Couldn't hate him any more than that because he got my boy Soltavitz killed.
Got my boy...
And Huron Fowl.
I cry every night for Huron Fowl going, we'll go together then.
I'm not crying.
He did give Ryland a chance 10,000 years later to do the funny though.
To do the funny.
And Fowls and Sons just going, I'm out.
More older Tarek Torgaddon as well.
He didn't deserve it.
White Eyes and Captain Erlen and all sorts of people.
It's actually a really sad scene when the last of the Emperor's children are fighting on the top of that Alice.
And they have a last stand and the flag is in the middle kind of situation.
And then they see the bombs.
They're stopping attack because they're all like, they're the last defiant.
And he's like, isn't it something like, have we hurt them?
Will this matter?
And Soltavitz is like, yeah, it will matter.
We've hurt them.
Even if a little.
And then they die.
Very sad.
And then also he claims Kalf, poor ultramarines, poor boys.
And also Cygnus Prime.
These are the main event that Erebus claims to be the architect of.
I will quickly check Andy up here first.
Andy has put the pilgrimage of Lorgar.
Fortunately, that one's not, it's not, I mean, Erebus is involved.
He doesn't really, there's some debate there.
He whispers in Lorgar's ear like, oh, monarchy is a bit fessed.
The reason I did think of that one.
Have you met chaos?
You know.
I did think of that one, but I thought that wasn't.
A specific Erebus one rather.
It was actually Ingothel, the demon who like.
And then like, I mean, and also Khorfaron.
Having just read the excerpt from my lovely voice actors on my videos.
It kind of, I feel like there's more Khorfaron's dub and Erebus is like.
There is that, that good piece of artwork where it's like the monarchy is burning in the background.
It's like either side of Lorgar, there's Khorfaron and Lorgar just kind of smiling, whispering in his ears.
And Lorgar just sitting down, like looking down the barrel of the camera going like, what is my life?
And he also put turning Horus to chaos.
So Andy gets a point on that one.
Isvahn III, of course, Battle of Kalf.
Very sad. Was it how much of the Ultramarines?
How much, like a third of the Legion?
It's like over a third, like because I know I think it's like the Wordbearers and the Ultramarines at this point are the two biggest Legions.
And then the Ultramarines are like, oh, we've lost like at least half our people who were stationed here, which is a big chunk.
We've gone from the largest to still the largest, but with less.
Yeah, I think it's something along the lines of like a hundred thousand Astartes die.
And it's like, oh, that's a big number.
Which also helps create the Ruinstorm, which is sad.
Oh, I could have put the Ruinstorm.
If someone else has put the Ruinstorm, I will give that to them.
And he also put the Wuding of the Emperor.
I think Erebus doesn't specifically claim that, it's more Horus.
Killing Urda, again, I wouldn't thought it was like a, even though it's a lore event, I wouldn't say it's like a big battle.
This is me scraping the barrel at the end.
Yeah, Erebus isn't really the architect of that, he's just kind of finishing off like a thing.
You know, a last loose end and the destruction of Cadia.
I don't think that's fair to give Erebus that, even though...
He gives Abaddon a bunch of word barriers, he's like, ah, but he's the kind of guy who would do a kill steal.
That's kind of my point.
He's like, oh, I killed the Emperor, it was all me who did that.
If it wasn't for me, we wouldn't have all this grimdark, you know, he's that kind of guy.
We've got Cadia at home, like, relax.
So, unfortunately, no destruction of Cadia.
Eli put corruption of the Legion and Horus.
There is one point there for Horus, I think, again, I didn't just put Erebus as like the main, I think Chaos sort of played more of the heavy role in that.
Turning the Primarchs to demons.
Unless you can argue your case, I'm not sure Erebus would specifically claim he's the one who raises the Primarchs.
I was just putting stuff on there.
Killing Urda, again, I didn't feel like that was a big battle or...
F for Urda in the chat, please, folks.
F for Urda in the chat.
Creating the fan favorite sentient Smegma.
I haven't heard you say that in a while.
That's a callback, people have to work out where that one's from.
Deep cut for war crimes.
Sentient Smegma was in fact sentient by a path and multiple times on the internet.
Thank you for the grandkids who are probably listening to this being like, can't believe it.
Cheese.
Bro, we said though, I've said worse.
That sounds terrible.
Cheese.
Unfortunately, Eli got one point for that, which was the turning of Horus.
Oh, no, he put Arquitect of the Heresy.
So I almost missed that one.
Excuse me.
That's a point, I think.
Yeah, because he does claim to be the overall...
I think Arquitect of the Heresy and Corruption of the Legion is kind of the same thing, I would say.
Although he does claim to be like, you know, the hand of destiny.
I'm sure Destiny's hand.
Colin's time.
He's put Kalf.
Colin gets a point for that one there.
He also put the Corruption of Horus, which definitely he claims that one.
The Heresy as a whole.
Yes, he does.
Killing Erda.
You know what?
I mean, everyone has to...
I mean, if I give that point for killing Erda, everyone essentially gets a point.
So it doesn't really mean much on the point scale.
Yeah.
So I'm not sure.
We just really like Erda.
She's a cool lady.
We get the Primarchs.
That's good.
The next one he said, cucking the Emperor, which is a good thing because the Emperor is a fucking loser.
This sounds like something Eli would say.
Surprise it came from Colin.
This is Eldari propaganda here.
Go on.
Winning the galaxy's sloppiest toppy competition against Fancy Monkeys.
I can't believe you made me read that, dude.
Oh my god.
Nice to know Erebus has got some skills.
Mad game.
He's got mad, you know, you know what they say.
I'm not going to finish that sentence.
Oh god.
That is the end of the expert section.
The scores on the doors are Andy currently has eight and a half.
Eli, you have six.
Colin has six and a half.
So it's actually still like not far off.
Everyone's like pretty close.
But there is one more bonus question.
One last bonus question.
One last hurrah for the people listening.
And I will get on to give it straight away.
Erebus corrupted Horus on Davin.
How was Erebus able to be cast into the warp and who did he appear as?
Inside the warp.
This one, obviously, this is very, I think this is book three of the Horus heresy in general.
I think a lot of people who do know Warhammer stuff know the kind of general overarching bits of Horus's corruption.
But I did think this was quite, it's quite an Erebus move here.
Oh god.
He's such a weird little character.
Yes.
So it was who he went to.
Who and how.
How he got into the warp and who did he appear as to Horus.
Because as we all know, Erebus did not appear as Erebus because immediately he has been like, snake, snake man.
I think Erebus is described to having a punchable face, like extremely punchable.
So he definitely knew.
I mean, he later would be revealed as Erebus.
And then Horus would be like, you know, I know who you are, scum.
And he would like kick him in the nuts.
But I'm looking for how Erebus got into the warp, like what was done or what was done to him or how did he do something.
And also the person he appeared as when inside the warp, because he did not appear as Erebus.
All of the answers are coming in.
Let me just go.
That's quite a lot.
I mean, you know, that's quite like a, that's quite a lot.
Oh, I didn't write that.
I did not write that.
I've had to say.
I'm missing your answers.
Well, you think that?
Yeah, yeah, that's my answer.
Oh God.
Oh, that's the best I can do.
This is the...
Oh, yeah, I see.
Oh, we're cooking here.
We're cooking some answers.
I hope Colin...
I don't cook.
Eli's written a novel, by the way.
Oh God, I'm going to have to read all that out.
Why could we have more, boy pussy got me questioning the Lord of the Emperor.
I wish the Erebus did not say that to Horus in the warp, like, yo, we have boy pussy in Chaos side.
God, I can't believe I had to say that out loud.
No one had to say that one out loud.
No one was on.
I know, but every time I say something, I'm almost conscious like it's on the internet forever.
Well, it's all obviously the great solar flare knocks all out and then we're all safe, you know, right behind them.
Then Erebus dabs.
No, just continuously.
He would do it just he would do that dance move, knowing it's old and like people get annoyed at it now.
Yeah, he'd do it with the annoying Fortnite music in the background at the Golden Throne, just like, how's that grim dark working for you?
And that's the kind of guy he is.
If some people are still at this point wondering why everyone hates Erebus so much, just a few things he has done.
It's because he plays Fortnite.
He's literally Fortnite battle pass the Warhammer character.
Erebus himself, obviously the architect of the Horus heresy, he killed a lot of our fan favorite characters, Argo Tal.
Luckily, there's a few cool moments where like Horus essentially peels off his face.
That's what I was going to mention earlier.
Yeah, yeah, because it was actually I thought about it as a bonus question, but it was a bit too easy.
And then also the moment with Khan where he's after he's killed Argo Tal, which is the one everyone's favorite word barrier character.
And then Khan, the betrayer, enters into like the pits, you know, the gladiator pits.
He goes, yo, get up. It's not time to fight you.
It's a really good scene.
We have all of our answers in.
Andy, I'm still going.
You have time if you need it.
Let him cook.
I just had to change one word.
Let him cook.
The bonus question, just reference again, was Erebus corrupted Horus on Davin.
How was how was Erebus able to cast himself into the warp and who did he appear as?
Scores and scores.
Top of the line is Andy.
Andy put it as ceremony conducted by Davinite priests and with with Abaddon and Axiomand and he appeared as Sir Janus.
Pretty good.
That's a deep cut from the Horus heresy.
Deep cut.
OK, I'm going to get you lost because it's well because it's a call in you put he prayed to the ancient human demon Prince George Bush and give Horus the power to crash land speed.
Oh, my gosh.
Mass destruction.
That's a spicy answer there.
My fellow word bears.
We must.
My fellow word bears.
They're weapons of mass destruction on Calhoun.
It's a warm president as well.
Oh, my God.
We do not negotiate with ultramarines.
When he was announced there's just someone like throw a she-wha Erebus.
Yeah, now later.
Nothing bad ever happened to the word bearers.
Now watch this grab.
Eli.
Eli put Erebus is a senior dark apostle of the word bearer Traitor Legion.
He originally held the prestigious position of first chapter of the word bearer Space Marine Legion at the end of the Great Crusade and during the Horus heresy in the early 31st Millennium.
He was a fearsome and intimidating and started his warrior and had a tattooed horse.
The book of Logar across his out there, but it's shaven scout to terrify his enemies.
Erebus willingly turned to the service of chaos even before he ascended to becoming a star.
He was personally responsible for corrupting his own prime Mark of Orgoth Horus and the Death Guard first captain Calhoun.
Erebus refers himself as the hand of destiny, the mortal instrument of the chaos gods in the material realm.
Presently one of the dark apostles that compromised the ruling council of the word bearer Traitor Legion on the demon world of Sicarius and fights a subtle but constant war against the black cardinal core pharaoh for control of the 17th legion's direction in his prime Mark continued absence.
Unfortunately, that is not correct.
I copy and pasted the wiki to any who did not.
No, you're emboldening the people who read who put comments on my videos. They're just reading the wiki.
It's a law accurate, but not the answer I was looking for.
The answer I was looking for was the Davonite ceremony and Erebus had his actually Erebus had his throat cut and was killed.
And that's how he ends. So he had to die to get into the war and he appeared as the Space Marine has to say Janus, which was Horus is like, basically favorite son, like most of the greats the original first captain was me.
He was at he dies at the very beginning of Horus rising.
I believe Andy, I think you put the he did put the Davonite priest part by I also was looking for the like how he got into the war specifically, which was the he had to die.
I would have accepted he'd had to die, but you did put he appeared as Sir Janus.
So you get a point for that. Eli, no, it's not. Just straight up no. Unfortunately for Colin, George Bush was not involved in the Cal.
So that so that didn't happen.
It's in fact, it's a conspiracy at the moment. It is in fact not true. Or is it? That being said, though, that is the quiz on Erebus and the scores on the doors are I believe it is Andy.
Andy is on nine and a half points.
Eli is on six and Colin is on six and a half. Our winner is Andy for this week.
Andy gets a victory. He I should be happy about winning the quiz about Erebus.
It feels like a bit of a stain on my reputation.
I was going to say, yeah, you've you've won your knowledge on Erebus is good.
Therefore, you poor thing, you saw like, oh, you've just won an award for identifying the most types of venereal disease.
Like, oh, great. Cool.
That's me then.
Shame. Shame. Go home with a gold star after this one, unfortunately.
But if you guys were listening, let us know how you did on that quiz.
If you obviously knew most of the answers, I'm not sure how you feel at this point.
Good. Probably bad because, you know, having knowledge about Erebus.
I mean, in his defense, I will say in Warhammer.
In his defense, hear me out, hear me out. Any story is only as good as his villain.
And we all deeply despise Erebus.
That's they make us hate him in a good way rather than just being a craply written character.
At least he had the decency to die in the first couple of books, even if it didn't stick.
Decency to die. He's very accomplished.
You can't deny that. He's also incredibly pathetic, which I like my pathetic characters.
We haven't really heard much about him recently.
I always find it weird that his big thing was, oh, I'm going to put a spanner in the works.
And then post-heresy, he's just kind of doing something.
Honestly, they have to talk about it.
They have to talk about Corax if they talk about Erebus, so they just don't talk about him anymore.
I think there's two reasons. One, the writers haven't got round to it.
That's the true reason. And also Tabletop.
Again, if there's anything that happened in the lore, there's a tabletop reason for it.
I think also, technically, Erebus' role is to start off the 10,000 years of the Empyrean rotting.
He's meant to architect the horror of heresy, and then they didn't really care for him after that.
He's discarded the tool he is, and luckily he's all ugly and disfigured after what Horus did to him.
So he's living his best life, the life he deserves.
For some reason, I just had a mental image of him and Cor Phaeron in big armchairs in the wordbearer's homeworld.
I can't remember what it's called.
But just like, Sicarus.
And then Cor Phaeron's got some hearing aids, and he's like,
We're going to do a war of faith soon. What? I said it, we're going to do a war of faith soon. What?
And just two old men who are past their prime, doing not much apart from unable to communicate effectively.
I don't know. That's kind of back to the setting.
You're saying the wordbearer's demon world is like an old people's home.
I'm just saying that Cor Phaeron is already like minus one heart, and he was an old man before he became an Astartes.
And Erebus has like got his mangled face.
And they're 10,000 plus years older.
What did they get any younger?
Colin, what did Gilamon do to Cor Phaeron again?
I just love hearing people talk about this moment.
He punched his heart out. It was really cool.
Punched him so hard he had a heart attack.
He punched him so hard he had a heart attack. It's just so good.
Speaking of, hopefully not having a heart attack with the results of this quiz though, but Andy is the victor of this week.
We hope you give him a star.
Put on the pedestal.
And I hope you guys all enjoyed.
If you didn't previously know some of these answers or, you know, hope you learned something new, let us know.
Obviously, if you had some funny answers, torture us with them.
We enjoy it a lot.
Obviously, keep it YouTube friendly, please, because otherwise we won't be getting in trouble.
But with that being said, thank you guys so much for listening and watching.
We really appreciate the support.
Again, like and subscribe if you can.
That helps us eat.
We like that.
It also gives not a guilt trip, but it helps Colin buy insulin.
Yeah, it's just a way for us to raise money for Colin's insulin.
That's all this is.
This is a charity.
I'm not an addict, bro, I swear.
Man can't put down the insulin just for one day, huh?
