I always love the zeal you bring to the Black Templars. Another great video brother 👍. Thank you for all your hard work to bring the 40k universe to life.
I am a black Templar Brethren to. So was that story implying that they killed the primaris space marines? Like the loyalists? I'm just getting into this and that was kind of hard to understand as if they did wouldn't that be treachery? I love these guys, they're pure savages
@@messyjesse1173 A bit late, but from what I understand certain Black Templars considered any tampering with the gene seed to be heresy in and of itself. So purging primaris would be no different to purging the works of heretics. Which would’ve been the position of the Imperium at any point prior to the Fall of Cadia and the return of Gulliman.
My goodness if only GW bothered to give us some of these kinds of stories at the beginning of 8th, it could have saved so much disappointment and made the Primaris struggle for acceptance so much more interesting and meaningful. Fantastic intro, you could taste the bile!!!!!
I think Black Templars would make a wonderful list for what loyalists sons of Angron would look like if the Red Angel had been given a happier origin and not fallen to the slavery of Khorne.
If you check out the Dornian Heresy, someone designed the loyalist world eaters. They consider anger a form of slavery and seek to master it, and act halfway between blood angels and salamanders, going straight for enemy leaders to avoid civilian casualties.
That opening with the BT killing the Primaris sent chills down my spine. I had to rewind and listen to it twice. Fucking epic man! GGs love the content 👍💯
Expect a Civil War between these BT and Helbrect, BT has more potential in the lore now, either they can continue chasing Gazgul or they fight in a civil war.
The angry children of Dorn, they rival the word bearers in their fanaticism... I love how they embodied Dorns “stone and steel will speak” motto when judging primaris Another unyielding video my lord
The black templars are the embodiement of failure of Dorm amd Sigsimund, both failed on keeping the emps alive, failed to kill abbondon or horus and let the black templars fall to religious fever. Failed his father plan of imperial truth and failed to keep the dream alive.
My favorite chapter by far. I love imagining the Black Templars tearing around the galaxy. Smiting degeneracy with holy fire, and stomping the shite out of the unclean. Another gripping masterpiece. Thank you again sir for making my work day less boring.
Yeah cant wait till they purge themselves as they are transhumans who no not the touching of the empire. The first born should only be those who made on terra or those taken from pure gene seed stock or from the source. That said all are mutants. Heed Not the Mutant
I have a Black Templar army that is a First Born collection only. I've always intend to keep it that way. They have their own charm and I don't like the look of the mixed aesthetic between the first born and Primaris models in the same army. What a amazing delivery for a great story, Baldermort. You capture zeal and fanaticism with a gripping bite one could expect from no one else. I'm so interested in how this plays out. 🔥🎸🔥
Excellent telling Baldemort! And this is why the Templars win not accept the Primaris. The Templars will NOT accommodate, they will NOT compromise , they will NOT bend.
@@mogwaiman6048 certain crusades may see that as heretical though. If they’re willfully disobeying a Primarch and custodes would they not disobey the High Marshal? “Suffer not the Unclean to live”, no matter the outcome
Idk if you will see this baldermort but your videos have sent me to a peaceful sleep when otherwise IMPOSSIBLE to do so. Sincerely a very loyal listener.
Templars are long overdue for a Sigismund tier character within their ranks again. Someone who takes the mantle of the Emperor’s champion permanently once again.
What perfect timing! I just started painting the first of my minis and lo and behold I chose the Black Templars! Thank you for this most excellent of videos to accompany my first painting session! I shall add a few melty melters in a squad in honor of you!
Well some BT most are now Primaris Helbrect and Grimaldus already crossed the Rubicon, so a Civil War between BT likely even a large civil war within the Imperial Cult is enevitable with the obvious losers being the Rebels (on the Plus side we may get a BT Chaos Warband after it, a Khornate BT warband would be cool to see even if I am a Loyalist BT.)
So the words of traitors rather then the loyal scion of the Emperor, is worth more. Traitor. All man that suffers the transhuman effect is no longer pure. Heed not the Mutant
Wow. I fell in love with the Black Templars when I first read the Armageddon series. Dreadnought Brother Jarold is one of my favorite characters in the entire lore. A crusade of Templars murdering their Primaris brethren though is disturbing. I mean these men would've had absolutely no idea what they did to deserve the cleansing.
In the grim darkness of the far future there is no peace and the Templars are...exemplary...in this. You are right it is disturbing, but it is cannonically appropriate.
That they cannot see their own heresy is reason enough to destroy them. That you would call this unholy creation brother is reason enough to.... Well... You know our words: Thou shalt not suffer thee unclean to live.
nothing gets me more excited about Warhammer than the loyal sons of Dorn. When my new fledgling imperial fists army is done and ready for the Horus Heresy 2.0, they will look great next to my 40k Black Templars. There was some *excellent* art in this video - can I ask where they're from?
What a horrible week. Thanks Baldie, it’s freezing here in South Africa, but I am cuddling my dog under the blankets and enjoying this. It kinda makes going through this week worth it…for the black templars are my favourite Astertes…snd that’s all because of you.
@@totallylegit4092 that's so wierd bro. Come and stay with me in ireland until it warms up again. I always wondered why the small birds came here in the sumner. Follow the birds north totally. If you meet the english turn left and travel another 100 miles. Follow the morning sun left past the tea drinkers. When you see people drinking the black beer you have arrived. 🇮🇪🖤☕🍺💪🍀🇮🇪
@@billyelliot4141 thanks for the invite. Unfortunately I have to take care of my mum or I may have taken you up on that offer. Irish ladies are lovely 😁
Although I'm late coming to your channel, I've grown to love and respect the work that you do for the warhammer universe. The zealotry that your intro brought to life is hair raising! Excellent work!
Holy Emperor Bauldy! Your intro made my heart sing! I have wanted to hear something like this since the prime number marines were a thing. You and my Templar brothers are doing the Emperors work! No Pity! No Remorse! No Fear!
Wonderful stuff Brother Baldermort! The Black Templars, just a tad narcissistic aren’t they? Even going against a primark because they are “Purer” lovely stuff. Bravo! BBB! 👍😉
Some but most just accepted the Primaris so the killing of Primaris is not universal, Helbrect would likely not agree with killing the Primaris, though killing Primaris isn't out of characters (these are BT of course but BT would likely be split in the future ones that follow Helbrect, they do see Gulliman as a bit of a Saint if a distrusted one and those that hate Primaris.)
@Tim B heritic, you would follow our empieror yet not his sons? The few reasons for the legions existance and yet you would bismirch the work of the avenging son. The regent who now fights in his father stead. The 13th primarch head of his father will. If he is a false idol then who do you pray to traitor
My Brother Baldermort, you have once again done the God- Emperor's will! You bring the fire and zeal of Dorn's gene line to every video involving my favorite chapter. Imperator Vult and death to those who turn against the will of the High Marshall.
The Black Templars are loyal to the idea of the Emperor that was, not the one that is. They struck down progeny of Dorn who had done no wrong, therefore, they are no better than Iron Warriors.
Not true sons of Dorn, they are mutant scum deserving long, painful deaths and to be forgotten forever. They deserve nothing but oblivion. I won't play Primaris. I won't play against them. I won't allow there models on my table. No tolerance. No pity. No remorse.
I think leaving them alone with Primaris was the bad idea here. It should have been seperate successor "chapters" or crusades of Black Templars comprised fully of Primaris marines , led and trained in the chapter's ways by those Firstborn Astartes who would willingly go through the Rubicon Primaris. As much as i love the Templars for their unwavering loyalty , they are loyal in their own way. They despise Imperial bureaucracy and Guilliman. Presenting them with a gift(HERESY in their eyes) from bureaucrats and Guilliman , and then leaving them alone with that gift isn't really a smart thing to do. Maybe they needed to be convinced on the field by their Primaris brother's purity , maybe they needed more Custodians who could explain things to them , maybe they would have killed the Primaris even then. Oh well , as much as i HATE the fact that Primaris marines exist ; i hope not all crusades massacre their brothers in arms.
Hey man. First time long time. Love the channel. I know you say you have no voice acting experience. But im replaying the original dawn of war and the voice and the cadence of the narrator sounds shockingly like you. Keep up the good work!
"Whoops" - A certain Crusade force. The event made me consider the fact that were it the other way around; Dorn took over the Imperium and created Primaris? Like the Ultramarines would go along so meekly. The problem with the XIIIth is assumption. They say 'that's how it is', and realistically that won't be followed by everybody.
@@Prophetofthe8thLegion not really , presenting Primaris to the Black Templars is a 0 on a logic scale of 1 to 10. They WILL not accept them in-masse. Just supplying the exhausted yet still fighting Templars with better equipment and yelling "HEY THERE'S A HERETIC , A MUTANT AND A XENO OVER THERE!" would have been a better idea. They get shit done , but they do it their way. They have proven how they don't like it when people fuck with their way.
@@OljeiKhan Yes that is true but you forget how Black Templars think or rather believe. To them the Emperor is a god. Gulliman is a son of that god, for most of them anyway to say no to him would be to spit in the face of the Emperor himself. I’m sure many of them aren’t exactly cuddly with the Primaris but very few of them save for that crusade led by the Marshall Mortian would dare reject them. Also my comment earlier was about Ultramarines
@@Prophetofthe8thLegion fair points but we need to remember that Guilliman is probably the most hated Imperial figure within the Black Templar's doctrine. However i do find it bizarre for them to lay arms upon a Custodian. The Black Templars would probably revere any one of them WAY more than they would revere the "divisive" "deceitful" Guilliman.
@@OljeiKhan True though honestly I think we are still thinking too much in terms of Sigismunds Black Templars vs Helbrechts. My point being Sigismunds Templars were more Imperial Fist then Templar and of course held all the ideals and beliefs of their primarch for the most part. Black Templars on the other hand are well...lets just say eccentric.
I really like this content! I'm new to all the 40k stuff (haven't played the tabletop yet, not sure I have thr $$$ for that but still), I love reading the books and lore!!!
Brother Baldermort, a request: when you do your long-form videos (Ex. The Fall of Cadia) can you please use the chapter feature on UA-cam? It would make viewing easier, especially since UA-cam's history feature is unreliable. Again, just a humble request.
Yes! Can't wait to watch this! *Are you using a new mic or recording in a different room? The audio recording sounds different. It sounds like your in a bit larger room than usual and your voice is echoing back into the mic slightly. Very minor though. Content is fantastic as usual
The Templars need to treat their navigators better. With a thought, they could throw their whole fleet into a star, or even worse, the warp and just leave it there.
I thought this was another biscuit at approximately 14 minutes, but lo! how I was mistaken. Excellent work as always, I always get fired up hearing of the righteous zeal of the Templars. (Or the Night Lords, on the other side of the coin)
I do like that a number of BT’s went ham against the Primaris. I do wish it had been more of a thing. Primaris one of those times that lore felt very forced just for models. More chapters deciding to just execute Primaris and maybe then simply grow their own after testing. Or perhaps chapters having splinters Thanks Balders for an excellent listen whilst I endured blood and sweat (literally) in the gym
"Righteous fury"? The slaughter of loyalist ships, citizens, fellow battle brothers and 1 of the 10,000. These templars show why the tramshumans will never hold the galaxy for mankind when they scabble like children. Heed not the Mutant
I had to stop listening to thhs one after the starter story, it hit me with such force i could not comprehend anything Lord Baldermort said afterwards. I needed to digest what I heard for a full day, thinking and rethinking everything I believed to be true. But I am back with faith in my heart and my bolter in my hand!!!!!
Hey baldermort, have you ever considered doing an episode on gaunts ghosts? Love the books so far and think it would be cool to see a video about the tanith first and only
@@Baldermort yeah i understand that, can hardly find time anymore, but hopefully you can get some free time to read it and the rest of the series, i think theres about 15 books coming in at something like 130 hours or so, at least for the audio books, which is what ive had to do to have the time
aaaaahhhhh sookkkkkeeeeesooookkkkkeeeeeee! My favorite legion (tied with Salamanders) from my favorite yarn spinner....didn't even watch it yet, but I saved it and already gave her 3 thumbs up!!!!!! can't wait until later tonight....praying there's a Thaddeus story in it... (EDIT) Sir Baldemort, I have flown to close too the sun with my expectations for a Thaddeus, i.e. Barbeaux(?) entry....alas I am spinning rapidly from the atmosphere to the ever expanding sea...please save me before I plummet to the bottom of the dark ocean...I beg of thee, my hero...nay, OUR HERO...Please give us more Thaddeus, please
Hi baldermort- you have a legendary voice. Could you make a video where you use your voice for ordinary life situations like asking for directions or ordering in a restaurant?
One thing I am mad about the about the current lore for the Black templars is the fact that Helbrecht and Grimaldus are now Primaris with no real lore given or am just missing the plot train?
This was one video I was not looking forward to the over zealous heresy of the Black Templars is disappointing 😒 but the video its self the lore ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾great job as always brother baldermort
Gently listened to this one so hard that a Daemonette might pop up just now. Anyways , gotta ARGUE about angry space monks being angry space monks with fellow GENTLE listeners!
Can't get pure gene seed from Dorn, the son who failed, couldn't say the Emperor, couldn't die for him either. His whole line is a failure that need to be purged. Astartes are know to be traitors. Once traitors, always traitors. Heed not the Mutant

Your not wrong
I'm kind of imagining a loyalist World Eater Chapter and it's successors as something akin to the Black Templars

@@Dsaberguy Sigismund only failed to kill Kyle because he was that old in his prime he would’ve whooped him
GLORY TO THE BLACK TEMPLARS MAY OUR ETERNAL CRUSADE SHINE A LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS
Abselute Psychopaths.
My favorite chapter by far. I love imagining the Black Templars tearing around the galaxy. Smiting degeneracy with holy fire, and stomping the shite out of the unclean. Another gripping masterpiece. Thank you again sir for making my work day less boring.
Yeah cant wait till they purge themselves as they are transhumans who no not the touching of the empire. The first born should only be those who made on terra or those taken from pure gene seed stock or from the source. That said all are mutants.
Heed Not the Mutant
I have a Black Templar army that is a First Born collection only. I've always intend to keep it that way. They have their own charm and I don't like the look of the mixed aesthetic between the first born and Primaris models in the same army.
What a amazing delivery for a great story, Baldermort. You capture zeal and fanaticism with a gripping bite one could expect from no one else. I'm so interested in how this plays out.
🔥🎸🔥
The Black Templars have been my one and only army for over 10years, and truly I can think of no better voice to narrate their glory. Thank you
how do they perform on the tabletop?
Excellent telling Baldemort! And this is why the Templars win not accept the Primaris. The Templars will NOT accommodate, they will NOT compromise , they will NOT bend.
Helbrecht already did though.
True.
@@mogwaiman6048 certain crusades may see that as heretical though. If they’re willfully disobeying a Primarch and custodes would they not disobey the High Marshal? “Suffer not the Unclean to live”, no matter the outcome
@@jeffhreid that's not the majority though. There has only been one incident of mutiny and that crusade was executed for treason.
Black Templar, you must follow this Codex Astartes.
"I dont think we will"
Idk if you will see this baldermort but your videos have sent me to a peaceful sleep when otherwise IMPOSSIBLE to do so. Sincerely a very loyal listener.
Sweet dreams brother. Glad it helps. :)
Templars are long overdue for a Sigismund tier character within their ranks again. Someone who takes the mantle of the Emperor’s champion permanently once again.
my man you are too good at this. i almost went from world eater to black templar in about two opening minutes.
We all felt cleaner, we all felt righteous!
Custodes: Are you sure about that?
More painting material while I am painting my Templars, thank you Baldermort this will also help with some narrative lore for my crusade!
What perfect timing! I just started painting the first of my minis and lo and behold I chose the Black Templars! Thank you for this most excellent of videos to accompany my first painting session! I shall add a few melty melters in a squad in honor of you!
I was just binging your Templar content. Perfect timing, my friend
Its amazing that Guilliman managed to get the Black Templars and the Alpha Legion to agree on something: that the Primaris are abomination.
Well some BT most are now Primaris Helbrect and Grimaldus already crossed the Rubicon, so a Civil War between BT likely even a large civil war within the Imperial Cult is enevitable with the obvious losers being the Rebels (on the Plus side we may get a BT Chaos Warband after it, a Khornate BT warband would be cool to see even if I am a Loyalist BT.)
So the words of traitors rather then the loyal scion of the Emperor, is worth more. Traitor. All man that suffers the transhuman effect is no longer pure. Heed not the Mutant
Lol the Alpha Legion doesn't agree on anything, even within its own ranks.
@@sinenomine7115 They just pretend pretending to pretend they agree. As is their way, I Am Alpharius!
@@sinenomine7115 they agree that they are alpharius
Woo woo black templar time!!!! Piety and a wrath so pure even abaddon could only compliment it.
Wow. I fell in love with the Black Templars when I first read the Armageddon series. Dreadnought Brother Jarold is one of my favorite characters in the entire lore. A crusade of Templars murdering their Primaris brethren though is disturbing. I mean these men would've had absolutely no idea what they did to deserve the cleansing.
Alot of heretics don't recognize that their very existence is an abomination, even though it is clear to those who observe them.
In the grim darkness of the far future there is no peace and the Templars are...exemplary...in this. You are right it is disturbing, but it is cannonically appropriate.
That they cannot see their own heresy is reason enough to destroy them. That you would call this unholy creation brother is reason enough to.... Well... You know our words: Thou shalt not suffer thee unclean to live.
Invictus Potens
nothing gets me more excited about Warhammer than the loyal sons of Dorn. When my new fledgling imperial fists army is done and ready for the Horus Heresy 2.0, they will look great next to my 40k Black Templars. There was some *excellent* art in this video - can I ask where they're from?
Perfect, just as I start the painting of my black templars
What a horrible week. Thanks Baldie, it’s freezing here in South Africa, but I am cuddling my dog under the blankets and enjoying this. It kinda makes going through this week worth it…for the black templars are my favourite Astertes…snd that’s all because of you.
Brother space marine cold in Africa? I thought it was a hot place! 🤔🌍🔥❄️😬
@@billyelliot4141 in summer yes. It’s winter now. And cold for me is probably chilly for you.
@@totallylegit4092 that's so wierd bro. Come and stay with me in ireland until it warms up again. I always wondered why the small birds came here in the sumner. Follow the birds north totally. If you meet the english turn left and travel another 100 miles. Follow the morning sun left past the tea drinkers. When you see people drinking the black beer you have arrived. 🇮🇪🖤☕🍺💪🍀🇮🇪
@@billyelliot4141 thanks for the invite. Unfortunately I have to take care of my mum or I may have taken you up on that offer. Irish ladies are lovely 😁
@@totallylegit4092 i will save u one for the winter if u change your mind. If u message here i will send a boat. 👍🛥️🇮🇪🍀🍻
Thanks for the video Balders
Although I'm late coming to your channel, I've grown to love and respect the work that you do for the warhammer universe. The zealotry that your intro brought to life is hair raising! Excellent work!
48 mins of pure bliss to listen to and the art work was amazing as always a joy. Loyal subscriber
Holy Emperor Bauldy! Your intro made my heart sing! I have wanted to hear something like this since the prime number marines were a thing. You and my Templar brothers are doing the Emperors work!
No Pity! No Remorse! No Fear!
For the Emperor....
Spectacular as always man, can't wait for your perspective on the book.
Wonderful stuff Brother Baldermort! The Black Templars, just a tad narcissistic aren’t they? Even going against a primark because they are “Purer” lovely stuff. Bravo! BBB! 👍😉
Some but most just accepted the Primaris so the killing of Primaris is not universal, Helbrect would likely not agree with killing the Primaris, though killing Primaris isn't out of characters (these are BT of course but BT would likely be split in the future ones that follow Helbrect, they do see Gulliman as a bit of a Saint if a distrusted one and those that hate Primaris.)
@Tim B heritic, you would follow our empieror yet not his sons? The few reasons for the legions existance and yet you would bismirch the work of the avenging son. The regent who now fights in his father stead. The 13th primarch head of his father will. If he is a false idol then who do you pray to traitor
thank you for the story . have a nice weekend lord Baldermort !
The way you end your videos is my favorite. Lol I say it with you every time. You should make it a shirt
My Brother Baldermort, you have once again done the God- Emperor's will! You bring the fire and zeal of Dorn's gene line to every video involving my favorite chapter. Imperator Vult and death to those who turn against the will of the High Marshall.
The Black Templars are loyal to the idea of the Emperor that was, not the one that is. They struck down progeny of Dorn who had done no wrong, therefore, they are no better than Iron Warriors.
Not true sons of Dorn, they are mutant scum deserving long, painful deaths and to be forgotten forever. They deserve nothing but oblivion. I won't play Primaris. I won't play against them. I won't allow there models on my table. No tolerance. No pity. No remorse.
I think leaving them alone with Primaris was the bad idea here. It should have been seperate successor "chapters" or crusades of Black Templars comprised fully of Primaris marines , led and trained in the chapter's ways by those Firstborn Astartes who would willingly go through the Rubicon Primaris.
As much as i love the Templars for their unwavering loyalty , they are loyal in their own way. They despise Imperial bureaucracy and Guilliman. Presenting them with a gift(HERESY in their eyes) from bureaucrats and Guilliman , and then leaving them alone with that gift isn't really a smart thing to do. Maybe they needed to be convinced on the field by their Primaris brother's purity , maybe they needed more Custodians who could explain things to them , maybe they would have killed the Primaris even then.
Oh well , as much as i HATE the fact that Primaris marines exist ; i hope not all crusades massacre their brothers in arms.
The idea any military force would destroy any loyal force of the emperor is straight heresy. Traitors. You know like Horus.
@@Dsaberguy plenty of other Astartes chapters kill loyal citizens and soldiers of the Imperium and go scot-free.
I would love to see a new battle report with you and Alex again! Those are so much fun! Thanks again for making this hobby supremely enjoyable!
Hellz yeah, looking forward to hearing about some of the new lore stuff too.
Fantastic work as always homie ❤️
Can’t wait to watch this, currently listening to the Throne of Light Audiobook
Looking forward to seeing where this goes over time thank you dear friend hope you had a blessed week
As always, well done and greatly appreciated Brother B:)
Hey man. First time long time. Love the channel. I know you say you have no voice acting experience. But im replaying the original dawn of war and the voice and the cadence of the narrator sounds shockingly like you. Keep up the good work!
This new vid adds well. The Black Templars are 1 of my favorite chapters. More wonderful story telling, many thanx my friend.
Baldermort Guides! 👍👍😉
Oh my Lord, Uncle Baldie sure does know how to give you goose bumps with his story telling skills.
"Whoops" - A certain Crusade force.
The event made me consider the fact that were it the other way around; Dorn took over the Imperium and created Primaris? Like the Ultramarines would go along so meekly. The problem with the XIIIth is assumption. They say 'that's how it is', and realistically that won't be followed by everybody.
They are the logic in a galaxy without logic.
@@Prophetofthe8thLegion not really , presenting Primaris to the Black Templars is a 0 on a logic scale of 1 to 10.
They WILL not accept them in-masse.
Just supplying the exhausted yet still fighting Templars with better equipment and yelling "HEY THERE'S A HERETIC , A MUTANT AND A XENO OVER THERE!" would have been a better idea.
They get shit done , but they do it their way. They have proven how they don't like it when people fuck with their way.
@@OljeiKhan Yes that is true but you forget how Black Templars think or rather believe. To them the Emperor is a god. Gulliman is a son of that god, for most of them anyway to say no to him would be to spit in the face of the Emperor himself. I’m sure many of them aren’t exactly cuddly with the Primaris but very few of them save for that crusade led by the Marshall Mortian would dare reject them.
Also my comment earlier was about Ultramarines
@@Prophetofthe8thLegion fair points but we need to remember that Guilliman is probably the most hated Imperial figure within the Black Templar's doctrine.
However i do find it bizarre for them to lay arms upon a Custodian. The Black Templars would probably revere any one of them WAY more than they would revere the "divisive" "deceitful" Guilliman.
@@OljeiKhan True though honestly I think we are still thinking too much in terms of Sigismunds Black Templars vs Helbrechts. My point being Sigismunds Templars were more Imperial Fist then Templar and of course held all the ideals and beliefs of their primarch for the most part. Black Templars on the other hand are well...lets just say eccentric.
Thank you Baldermort, I have always thought there is a certain amount of pathos associated with the Black Templars.
A new Baldermort video always puts me in a good mood
This was an awesome post. You are a great narrarator, you bring honor the the Emperor and All who serve him.
Love this! Great work as usual, Brother!
I really like this content! I'm new to all the 40k stuff (haven't played the tabletop yet, not sure I have thr $$$ for that but still), I love reading the books and lore!!!
Thank you , BM .
WOW 100% 10/10 loved this as a marvellous piece of writing and story telling 😊❤
You da greatest of all time Baldermort!!!
Not gonna lie. That intro got my heartrate up.
Brother Baldermort, a request: when you do your long-form videos (Ex. The Fall of Cadia) can you please use the chapter feature on UA-cam? It would make viewing easier, especially since UA-cam's history feature is unreliable.
Again, just a humble request.
Yes! Can't wait to watch this!
*Are you using a new mic or recording in a different room? The audio recording sounds different. It sounds like your in a bit larger room than usual and your voice is echoing back into the mic slightly. Very minor though. Content is fantastic as usual
The Templars need to treat their navigators better. With a thought, they could throw their whole fleet into a star, or even worse, the warp and just leave it there.
“They dare to defile his infallible work!”
ON TO MARS!!!!
Says the guys that don't practice atheism
a vdeio on mars would be great
Dark Angels upon observing the behaviour of the Black Templars: 'Hm'.
I thought this was another biscuit at approximately 14 minutes, but lo! how I was mistaken. Excellent work as always, I always get fired up hearing of the righteous zeal of the Templars. (Or the Night Lords, on the other side of the coin)
No words brother only chills down ones spine
Black Templars saying they are his most pure creations when custodes are standing right there.
Yeah but don’t forget who was the first Emperors Champion 😎
And still Are 😎
I love the little nod to helsreach with "For we ARE his symbol" ah good 'ole grimaldus.
On what an excellent journey you took us on. Whit my favourite chapter of loyalists.
Epic opening of vid BRAVO Baldemort :)
The Omnissiah bless you and your work!
By the Emperor! What an into!
I do like that a number of BT’s went ham against the Primaris. I do wish it had been more of a thing.
Primaris one of those times that lore felt very forced just for models.
More chapters deciding to just execute Primaris and maybe then simply grow their own after testing. Or perhaps chapters having splinters
Thanks Balders for an excellent listen whilst I endured blood and sweat (literally) in the gym
Another great story, as I paint the High Marshall himself.
Yes! Nothing better to start my weekend then with the righteous fury of my brother templars
"Righteous fury"? The slaughter of loyalist ships, citizens, fellow battle brothers and 1 of the 10,000. These templars show why the tramshumans will never hold the galaxy for mankind when they scabble like children.
Heed not the Mutant
I wish @Audible would use your most HOLY VOICE to narrate the 40k audible books.
A Interaction for the Interaction God, a Comment for the Comment Throne, for the Almighty Algorithm
I had to stop listening to thhs one after the starter story, it hit me with such force i could not comprehend anything Lord Baldermort said afterwards. I needed to digest what I heard for a full day, thinking and rethinking everything I believed to be true. But I am back with faith in my heart and my bolter in my hand!!!!!
Hey baldermort, have you ever considered doing an episode on gaunts ghosts? Love the books so far and think it would be cool to see a video about the tanith first and only
I’ve not read it in ages. If at all. I really need to read more but vid creation is a killer on time. :(.
@@Baldermort yeah i understand that, can hardly find time anymore, but hopefully you can get some free time to read it and the rest of the series, i think theres about 15 books coming in at something like 130 hours or so, at least for the audio books, which is what ive had to do to have the time
aaaaahhhhh sookkkkkeeeeesooookkkkkeeeeeee! My favorite legion (tied with Salamanders) from my favorite yarn spinner....didn't even watch it yet, but I saved it and already gave her 3 thumbs up!!!!!! can't wait until later tonight....praying there's a Thaddeus story in it...
(EDIT)
Sir Baldemort, I have flown to close too the sun with my expectations for a Thaddeus, i.e. Barbeaux(?) entry....alas I am spinning rapidly from the atmosphere to the ever expanding sea...please save me before I plummet to the bottom of the dark ocean...I beg of thee, my hero...nay, OUR HERO...Please give us more Thaddeus, please
Ah Uncle Baldy. You videos are a light here in the Outer Darkness (Africa). Emperor preserve you friend! 👏🏾
Love the vids Baldermort, as always. It seems you really hittin your stride. Good on you my dude!
Just what I needed!
Love you work. Always like your Templar vids.
Top notch as always, sir Balders!
Hi baldermort- you have a legendary voice. Could you make a video where you use your voice for ordinary life situations like asking for directions or ordering in a restaurant?
One thing I am mad about the about the current lore for the Black templars is the fact that Helbrecht and Grimaldus are now Primaris with no real lore given or am just missing the plot train?
Templars and crimson fists are the only way I've ever been able to enjoy the imperial fists. They're so unique
Wrong Legion.
@@LetholdusKaspyr oh my God I wrote iron hands. I meant fists. Gdi
And no. Nothing can make the iron hands interesting.
@@NornQueenKya Even their curse is just a shadow of the Blood Angels. Why even have Astartes if they're just a chassis to put augmetics on?
You mean the Imperial Fists, right?
@@The_Sigillite is it still showing IH? I edited forever ago
I’m at work and listing to the way you tell a story makes me want to scream battle cry’s for the Emperor
That intro gave me so many chills!!!!
i'll never forget their performance in HELLSREACH, fought to the last man
Oh man...
You just made me cry, Big B.
This was one video I was not looking forward to the over zealous heresy of the Black Templars is disappointing 😒 but the video its self the lore ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾great job as always brother baldermort
A perfect time for some background music to my stellaris game
It's all fun and games until they piss off a shield host....
Gently listened to this one so hard that a Daemonette might pop up just now.
Anyways , gotta ARGUE about angry space monks being angry space monks with fellow GENTLE listeners!
Great impersonation ! Good video!
"We were revolted". Good stuff
I just found your channel, absolutely incredible work and it’s my privilege to be a subscriber now. Thanks!
"We are his perfection." *Laughs in custodes*
Can't get pure gene seed from Dorn, the son who failed, couldn't say the Emperor, couldn't die for him either. His whole line is a failure that need to be purged. Astartes are know to be traitors. Once traitors, always traitors.
Heed not the Mutant
Laughs in solitare
My favorite thing about Sigismund is he was just a common man with an uncommon will to succeed
You added hall or some kind of echo. Its very effective. 🇮🇪👌👀🍀
