I still say there needs to be more stories about the Umbra and Hrud (I like to pronounce them H'rood). I swear, I can't find many stories that don't just mention them in passing.
Your cat(The Old One) blesses your house(by napping and purring) and by giving him a tribute(giving your cat tasty treats) he blesses you with his benevolence(furballs)
My oh my. For being in and out of the GW universe for the last 30+yrs and thinking I knew a little about all of the lore, this is the sweetest of treats! A, new to me, obscure xeno species/construct! Baldy you never cease to amaze and please!
War in Heaven is one of my favorite 40k lore storylines. I think a Baldemort fan fiction of the Emperor throughout the ages would be awesome. So much you could do with that and so many eras. Maybe during the Dark Age of Technology but flashback throughout history.
Mr. Baldermort I was playing fallout London after an extensive pain in the ass time trying to download it and who do I hear. 😮It was awesome to hear your voice in a different median. It definitely fit with the tone.
I forgot to shave my sundial yesterday. Hence, the five o'clock shadow. There are some shadows around town. They've been throwing some serious shade at me. I was visiting a historic site with a battlefield and two forts. The park ranger told me to be careful as the sun goes down because the buildings cast a large shadow, and it is hard to see where you are walking. I said, ok I will beware the dark side of the forts."
Sometimes I can't help thinking that it's a shame that the Warhammer universe is tied to the tabletop game, and doesn't exist solely as a narrative. Some of the most fascinating concepts in the setting are doomed to (probably) never be explored as much as they could be since it would change the world too much and impact GW's sales. The C'tan and the Old Ones, Ynnead, and many more. So much potential, but very little actually happening.
@@Baldermort Of course, I still very much enjoy Warhammer as it is now. And the beauty of having such an expansive setting with so much lore is that you can write things yourself! Fanfiction can feel really close to the official lore since there is so much stuff to reference. That's part of why I like your content so much too. Even though the stories you write aren't canon they have that special Warhammer feel to them.
@@Baldermortapparently the company keeps an archive with 2 copies of everything they ever printed, I would love to see it opened up as an actual reference library alongside the model gallery
The Hrud are one of those races that I have always wanted more about! Always alluded to but never fleshed out, just a vague threat. So good to hear it might be on your radar, if anything for more stories! :D
Nooobody cares if I don’t do hard lore. I had to give up doing conversational videos as they slaughtered my metrics. And I’m withering as it is. I might do one for Patreon. I know what I’m good for. ;)
@@jcdenton6864 even though I just started two months, a week and a few days ago with no prior experience my boss saw that I handle the logistics and stand on business more than my coworkers who now work for me. When he retired he promoted me over other people with way more experience in the field. I show up to work not only to get the job done but to be exceptional at it more than everyone else i work with. On top of that I have a good attitude at work and I'm not disrespectful to anyone above or below me on the totem pole. Hard work actually does pay off if you work for the right people. I just finished my first week at being a supervisor while also training a new employee for the first time in my life because I actually care at my job when others almost cant be paid enough to care
Great video, cousin. Ave Dominus Nox I love the character wondering about his work being worth a "grox's fart". Most of us feel that way and in a military environment it's even worse. In my 14 years of service in the US Army, we often wondered "who came up with this stupidity?"
I'm so glad to be finally getting into you. A long while back I listened to your trilogy on Rogal Dorn. And it made me cry. I'm so happy to see that you do such a unique and interesting twist on warhammer lore by format of story! It immerses me so much!
Wonderful! What a lovely excursion into imagination and the fun of the Grim Dark when I’m needing something to sweep my mind away from the Grim Now and wrap me in a cloak of story. I hope the theme continues into further elements of this elusive elemental essence of 40k.
After a recent severe illness I acquired, that damn near killed me, I have been wondering what ungodly creature my southern portal had been spawning, good I can finally put a name to the foulness spawning from within me. Thank you Archmagos Biologous Baldius x)
Great topic choice. I have never heard of this before. I got into 40k in 2022, so it is exciting to discover something outside the mainstream stories. Thank you Baldermort!
The astartes fan made film displaying an umbra truly left me after decades of lore truly mystified. I had to know more and there was so little. Thank you for the informative and entertaining video kind sir.
I always like to think that the Laughing God is sitting in a special section of the Black Library that we've come to call the Bald Library, just enjoying the hell out of the works your little servo skull creates. I mean that's where you have to be, right? after all, such a fine specimen would otherwise be locked in Trazen's vaults for sure.
Fantastic story. Going by the descriptions in the video Kar sounds like a weaponized deity like the eldar gods are sometimes mentioned to be rather than an old one. I also can't see the human connection, Unless the Hrud are humans aging backward through time.
Get in Brother Balders, only read og the Hrud (possible misspelling) once in the Lords of Mars trilogy but they were bonkers (in a book of fairly bonkers concepts) so will be eagle eyed for this vid
I suspect the Eldar left the Old Ones to die at the hands of the C'tan, so they may take over the Galaxy and the Webway. The Eldar worked with the Necrons, that is like working with your nemesis to kill your boss, which is pretty much how the C'tan were eventually shattered. To Quote the legendary Stan Edgar in his role in The Boys - Bad Product. And wouldn't be the first time in the setting creation betraying it's creator - Necrons betraying the C'tan, The men of Iron betraying Humanity and the kin, Horus betraying the Emperor, White Scars turning on Jaghatai.
Well that was indeed very interesting, even more so because of that Hrud end times myth... They're more concerned with the C'tan than the chaos gods that thoroughly eclipsed them and even broke the one who lingers.... 🤔
Love hearing about minor xenos races. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the Q'hol from Xenology as they seem to have a good sized empire of their own, held back only by their lack of navigators. I remember in the Fan Fiction "shape of the nightmare to come" they wind up owning much of segmentum pasificus.
i do enjoy hearing about lesser xeno faction, yeah the necrons, space efls and green bois are cool but hearing about the smaller makes the galexy feel bigger..more lived in
Im glad im no the only one that sees a link between the last old ones and the human race. I truly believe the Emperor may be the last one or an off shoot or loosely related to the last old one. His fight with Horus sees him using Eldar fighting techniques and even calling a waaaaagh against Horus to kill him when they fought through dimensions. How could he call a waaaagh unless hes maybe a brain boy. I dont know but I freaking love WH40k lore.

Thanks for all the excellent stories that have kept me sane through the tedious house work over the last couple of years
Thank YOU brother Flory for all of this generosity of spirit and hard earned resources. :)

Thank you for the stories! Always a treat to witness the Bald Library grow.
Thank ye brother. ;)
Just booted up fallout London, and what a delight it was to hear our faithful servants voice. Amazing work!
😂🤣😂😂
A rainy day's perfect for story time with Baldemort!
I am glad you covered these things. they are really interesting in lore. another Shattered Eldari God figure.
Thanks!
And thank YOU, yet again, brother Cunningham.
*bows deep and low to brother Cunningham yet again*
Just wanted to say you were awesome in the fallout London intro
Ta. First time.
Perfect timing. I'm currently fighting the minions of Nurgle and definitely appreciate the entertainment during this battle. Thanks Baldermort.
give in to the sweet entropy. become a nurgling today! (i wish you all the health :) )

I hope you recover swiftly brother Demon.

It would be great if they released krork,old ones and eldar at their height either as a source book with a limited model release
Hail and good cheer! Just installed fallout London and lemme just say it was joy hearing your voice in the opening
The Hrud are one of those races that I have always wanted more about! Always alluded to but never fleshed out, just a vague threat. So good to hear it might be on your radar, if anything for more stories! :D

Just heard your voice in fallout London !!!! Great work dude… iconic voice
Wonderful as always, Baldy
Shorter, yet incredibly informative and enticing!! Beautifully worded and done Baldermort! *signs aquila*

Thank you Baldie for sharing with us. As always the content is top notch!
I never even heard about this story before I am excited!
ive heard rumours about the umbra, never actually read or listened to a story about it. im veeeeeeeery intrigued.
wait, is the Umbra the thing from the Astartes Animation?
(i also love the animation quality of this entry)
Great job on the Fallout London trailer! You sounded amazing!
Wonderful! What a lovely excursion into imagination and the fun of the Grim Dark when I’m needing something to sweep my mind away from the Grim Now and wrap me in a cloak of story. I hope the theme continues into further elements of this elusive elemental essence of 40k.
I’ve heard about people being blackballed, but this takes it to a whole new level.
I would be delighted to hear more about the Harad species in the coming weeks. Thank you so much!
Ahhh looks like I've found something to make some time for fun.
(Love your work it's amazing keep it up God bless and keep you )
Thank you! 😊
Fantastic good sir!
Oooh this shorty has got me excited to hear what you have got lined up on these topics. Can't wait for the next one
This was really cool, I love learning about these obscure facets of 40k. Would love to see you cover the Hrud
really enjoying this returning format, feels like true classic baldermort

Hey off topic but heard your voice narration for Fallout London and it was amazing! I was like, I know who that is :)
Good to see ya Baldy!
This is why I’m a WH fan I genuinely enjoy good lore 😊
More lore from the lord baldy love it keep it up man
There is no better narrator.

Ty good Lord Baldermort I just got on lunch and this is what I needed. Please keep up the great content!!

Yay story time, good timing to help with some projects
The Umbra...
Filling the various species of the Milky Way galaxy with sphere- uh I mean *fear* since time immemorial.
Amazing simply amazing
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I did like this video. Never knew about this piece of lore.
Love the short stories you make for your vids. Keep up the good work!
Much love
💀
I always assumed it was the Umbra that was depicted in Astartes. Thank you good sir & I'm looking forward to a Hrud video!
Thanks for covering the most interesting corners of the universe!
Something that can practically age Astartes is a subject matter to hear about more, specially in your way of storytelling...
Thank you ,

The umbra are so mysterious
I’m here to finally understand those annoying AF enemies from 40,000 Gladius!

Get in Brother Balders, only read og the Hrud (possible misspelling) once in the Lords of Mars trilogy but they were bonkers (in a book of fairly bonkers concepts) so will be eagle eyed for this vid
I did enjoy this very brief video it was good🎉🎉❤
Great story!! Thanks!
Thanks for the great video
I suspect the Eldar left the Old Ones to die at the hands of the C'tan, so they may take over the Galaxy and the Webway.
The Eldar worked with the Necrons, that is like working with your nemesis to kill your boss, which is pretty much how the C'tan were eventually shattered.
To Quote the legendary Stan Edgar in his role in The Boys - Bad Product.
And wouldn't be the first time in the setting creation betraying it's creator - Necrons betraying the C'tan, The men of Iron betraying Humanity and the kin, Horus betraying the Emperor, White Scars turning on Jaghatai.
Well that was indeed very interesting, even more so because of that Hrud end times myth... They're more concerned with the C'tan than the chaos gods that thoroughly eclipsed them and even broke the one who lingers.... 🤔
My head cannon for the old ones was always that they were well meaning HP Lovecraft cosmetic horrors
Love hearing about minor xenos races. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the Q'hol from Xenology as they seem to have a good sized empire of their own, held back only by their lack of navigators.

I pre-like all of these 😂
Thank ye brother. :)
Always enjoy your videos.
Oohhh booyyy, this'll be great listening while painting my Necrons!
Did you do the voice for Fallout London? Great videos keep up the work.
