I love the idea that everyone around him looks at him thinking “what immense thoughts and strategems are running through his mind” and all he’s actually thinKing is “I really wish I could scratch my own ass right now”
That “plastic flimsy. My greatest enemy” is the best Guilliman line so far. He needs any kind of mental relief, even the slightest joke to calm his superhuman nerves.
Yeah, I thought that was pretty funny but I actually didn't like it. Don't get me wrong in normal circumstances a man doing that would be hilarious...but...Guilliman isn't a man. He's a primarch and I would expect him to be able to control his dexterity to compensate for the hindrance of the armor. I thought it made him too human. I still really enjoyed this, I only wish it went through the whole thing though. I know it nearly kills him from listening to Dark Imperium but he's talking about it in hindsight. I want to "witness" it myself.
The sheer humanity of "this thing is driving me nuts and won't let me do simple tasks; I want to get rid of it no matter the cost" is glorious. This is definitely one of my favorite 40K short stories.
I listen to this like once a month just for the Cawl Inferior lol... When Guilliman protests saying, "I don't want to hear your greetings!" and the machine replies with, "Why?!" I find it SO FUNNY.

@@MrRaveninja1 No wonder they are on the verge of extinction. By the time they make a decision to raid a planet, the Imperium already captured a system, an Orks whaagh already rolled over several system and a Tyranids hivefleet already chomped a sector.
I feel sorry for Sicarius. He does his best to serve his Primarch. A demigod he has been taught to venerate his entire life. Only for Guilliman to be a depressed man out of place, living in an Imperium very different to the one he knew. Whilst Sicarius can’t seem to relate to him and seems to be quite redundant when performing his duties. Sicarius was taught like all Ultramarines to be completely stoic, obedient to doctrine and loyal, but he can’t seem to even share Guilliman’s sense of humour. There seems to significant cultural difference between the two.
Poor Guilliman makes a self-effacing joke and it goes right over Sicarius’s head. He just cannot conceive of his Primarch making a joke. Primarchs are gods among us! Gods don’t have sense of humor! The idea is heresy! Meanwhile Guilliman would do just about anything to be able to shower or lie down or even bend over at the waist. Or hell even use one hand freely. Cato is oblivious to all of this. He and his own men just cannot get on the same page.
Honestly adds to the tragedy as gulliman is the on who created much of their culture and ways of thinking, so gulliman has this thing about his children hanging over his head as well
Unfortunately for me, all I could hear on my head while reading this was a high pitched "tha was a most excellent display of your sense of humour, lord Primarch, but I, Cato Sicarius..."
It’s so sad that even Guilliman’s sons do not know he likes to jest every now and again to make light of his problems. Nobody truly knows him anymore. How lonely this man must be. How much like a mere man this demigod must feel.
He needs to take a trip to Fenris and pay a visit to a certain venerable dreadnought and contemporary just to have a decent conversation with someone who comes close to understanding.
yeah, been reading through the dark imperium trilogy and it makes it clear how Guilliman feels alone and has the weight of the entire galaxy on his back, though he emanates pain and loneliness according to Codicier Maxim
@@sarahpearson1504, heresy! I, Cato Sicarius, the most esteemed Cato Sicarius, detest this anti-Cato Sicarius talk, for I, Cato Sicarius am the glorious Cato Sicarius!
Combine this with Guilliman’s job of looking right off the page and going, “HEY READERS THIS IMPERIUM SUCKS please stop idolizing it i know we have a lot of cool stuff but we also have a lot of oppression and death so please stop” Guilliman is atop the 4th wall and he is judging us
@@AnIdiotsLantern but grimdark funny guilliman. Every time 40k tries to take the fact that 11 morbillion men die to load a single shell on a ship, I laugh. It’s an upper middle class white kid trying to be edgy and I find it adorable.
The thought of one of the most powerful living beings in the galaxy getting frustrated because hes stuck in his armor and cant do simple tasks is actually pretty hilarious. Like this giant man that can crush skulls with his hands cant pick up a simple document😂
Better still: Complaining about not being able to scratch itches (we've all been there), bathe (God-Emperor, he's going to stink), hold a pen... but most importantly.... not being able to hold a mug of coffee. At that point, why live? lol
My allegiance to the Lord Regent is absolute... but maybe a little more gratitude for the miraculous creation that returned him to life 😢? I may be ten thousand years old, but I still have simulated emotion cogitators.
I like Guiliman, he reminds me of my father! I feel like there's a greater meaning behind the Armor of Fate and how it's removal is linked to Guiliman's will. It's actually really good writing. Sort of like he's freeing himself from destiny or fate, something which could be a disaster or gift. Nice reading I loved it.

Haley has a great skill of making things interesting and detailed, but not too much. Just enough for my imagination to run on 100%.
@@vavra222 exactly he builds characters and plot that immerse you in the setting and make it relatable as possible. That's why he is so good. Dan Abnett is also a great writer.
5:42 i do love how hes wearing the most advanced power armour in the galaxy but hes also worried that he might break the thing if he uses his full strength
Guilliman: Defies fate so he can finally bathe after more than a hundred years of fighting. @ABoarderPrince: You did an awesome job reading this one. Kudos!
It's way before the Plague Wars. Guilliman is alread free of the armour in "Dark Imperium", which happens at the end of Indomitus Crusade and right before he returns to Ultramar to face Mortarion. He says that he wore the armour "for years", not "decades" or "a century", though that long would've passed if he was in it for the entirety of the Crusade. In my opinion, this happened less than a decade after Roboute was revived.
The timeline of the Plague war books has been softly retconned from a century to a decade. In the Plague War series, he does wear casual wear, but taking off the armour hurts. Like weening off caffeine or alcohol, over weeks and months Guilliman took the armour off for very short periods of time and allowed his body to fight off the lingering toxins bit by bit, before he could go about his admin duties without it. At least, that's what I understand from the books.
Please correct me if I am wrong: This story couldn't be set after the Plague Wars. It must take place prior to the Devastation of Baal. In the aftermath of that Battle against the Tyranids, when Roboute Guilliman speaks with Dante and names him regent of Imperium Nihilus, Guilliman is dressed in Robes. He is out of his armor during this event back during the Indomitus Crusade.
Problem is that in LORE these armors like a second skin for Astartes. Connected with they neural network, perfectly fitting, hands easy to operate. Things from that novel are bizarre to hear.
Great Story. I like Girlyman a bit more than how he was in 30k or how the Ultramarines presented him. And I swear I can't hear "Cato Sicarius" without hearing his voice from TTS
I've only liatened the very first few minutes and I'm allready rolling on the floor laughing. Guilliman must be the funnies Primarch there is. Old as the sky itself, stuck in an armor that won't let him move and which he can't remove. Trying to pick up stuff, grunting like an old man. The lawling intensifies.
This book is about su1cide. As crazy as it sounds: the farseer told Roboute he was wounded on what was past his flesh, his soul. The armor stabilizes exactly that. If he takes the armor off, he may physically survive (he doesn't need the physical part of the life support anymore), but his soul would have to process alone the brunt of what happened and he'd emotionally break down into sadness that would kill him, as in su1cide. Crazy, ham. The armor of fate is antidepressive medicine, pretty much.
"The water ran as fluid" Yes water tends to do that😂 You can even hear a slight stutter when ABP reads it as I assume, even he thinks it's a weird phrase.
@@AnIdiotsLantern its the grim darkness of the 42nd millennium, and hes the only loyalist primarch the imperium knows of. They probably have servitors to wash his balls. Shaving? Not likely an issue.
" Me wish you itch places scratch you can not..." LOL, brother sergeant said:" do not indulge in the predicament of your sworn brothers young one..." but i'm no ultramarine so i really enjoyed witnessing all mighty Guilliman helpless against a bunch of papers, and his Quote "my greatest enemy..." LOL... facing a comedy in grim darkness of the far future is as unforeseen as the case of Imperial regent coming up with a joke out of the Blue ( pun intended )... it was a nice one... absolutely enjoyable, thanks...
Wow, I had thought you'd posted the actual audiobook until the end when you break into your thanks and subscribe outro; that was an amazing professional reading - please keep it up, I've subscribed and liked.
We all know wy Papa G, was so eager to jump out of his power pants... He's Waifu is not a biggest fan of platonic love XD Visarch's heavy breathing(in the background) If I recall correctly Perturabo was able to speak ancient Eldar/Aeldari dialects.
I really enjoy your Guilliman voice, reminds me of the Dark Imperium audiobook! And well, the fact that Sicarius doesn't have the exact same voice as Guilliman for once I really appreciate.
I’m really starting to doubt where the line is between machine spirit and artificial intelligence. In one point we have a servitor that relies on punch cards to do tasks, and we have the cawl inferior that can act in a variety of ways and act as sassy as a man of iron
I really dug this. I like that Rowboat would have a fondness for some kind of dry humor. In my mind there is such a great reverse shot of him sweating, a vein popping out on his forehead as he struggles to pick a piece of paper up off the floor, while his guardian stands in the background pondering why his liege would be over there genuflecting in front of his desk, and what that might mean for the future of the Imperium.
I'm a bit behind on some of the newer lore, especially since RG's re-awakening! So what, Guilliman's now alive, which I knew, but it's because he's in sort of a Darth Vader life support suit!?
ahh they have been pushing the necron thing in the background now for awhile the new big threat and cawl is heavily intwined with all that from his stuff as well
Each Primarch represents certain traits and characteristics of humanity. And, their interactions serve as a metaphor for the INNER STRUGGLE within all of us. In 40k, as in real life, the traits & characteristics (represented by the Primarchs) that become most prevalent will INHERANTLY determine the FATE of our species. This, truly, cannot be avoided.
So TL:DL Guillman preparing to take a shower after many years in the same Amour. Musky Imperium, in the grim darkness of the 42 millennium there is no hot running water, only cold showers..... Sponges and Towels. We scrub for Macragge! The 11 ultramarine company's motto.
Eldrad even humoring the idea that Guillimam and he are equals in any way might be the craziest thing I’ve seen from a eldar. And the second wildest thing is Guilliman being able to speak eldari
@@ABorderPrince While somewhat true, the thing is, there is more than one way to become a perpetual, one is of course to be born one, or to die and be resurrected, ie made one, typically by Eldar witchery.
"There are worse things coming than the Primordial Annhilator. The Old War begins anew." Sooo . . . While Chaos is a threat, . . . C'tan may be a worse one?
@@ABorderPrince just listened to your "Belisarius Cawl: The Great Work" review. Now I'm thinking some sort of climatic two sided conflict between the created/puppeted races of the Old Ones and the C'tan, with humanity split down the middle.
So this Armour is so advanced that it can bring guilliman back from near death, but I’m suppose to believe that there was no way to remove the armored gauntlet or his power fist? A cool audio but I’m not sure I buy that. Like even regular space marines can remove their gauntlets if they choose, so how did Cawl forget about something that’s been a feature on power Armour for literal thousands of years?
I think it's because the Eldari magic is something no human understands. As far as Guiliman was concerned, he had no way of knowing if removing a portion of the armor would kill him as surely as removing all of it.
Space marines in normal power armour: directly interface with their power armour wearing it like another skin and allowing them to utilise their superhuman extramly precise fine motor control. Rowbot Grilman, a primarch, wearing what must be one of the finest sets of power armour in existence: a bumbling fool who constantly drops things
Necrons, Ctan, Hell there's a high fleet going around, some of them are near Terra, and some eldar harlequins mentioned Gene Steelers on the throne world
In the grim darkness of the far future, humanity still havent gotten past the use of paper..... Even genetically engineered demi-gods are enslaved by them.

If he takes the armor off, he may physically survive (he doesn't need the physical part of the life support anymore), but his soul would have to process alone the brunt of what happened and he'd emotionally break down into sadness that would kill him, as in su1cide. Crazy, ham. The armor of fate is antidepressive medicine, pretty much.
"The water ran as fluid" Yes water tends to do that😂 You can even hear a slight stutter when ABP reads it as I assume, even he thinks it's a weird phrase.
I think he meant it was not frozen it was in a liquid state instead of ice .
The armor of ......that halo is BITCHIN' !!!!!!
Lol cawl knows his bling I’ll give him that
What? I can't hear you over the sound of glorious fire above my head!
This whole story was written to take this piss in regards to the Smurfs and I love it.
I, Cato Sicarius really appreciate your newest upload.
LOL
Tell us more, Cato Sicarius!
Marnius does not approve!
@@mikewaterfield3599 Fist!!!!!
Nubby : "Your Primarch is fat."
Guy Haley : "Confirmed."
Imagine being a demi god (even girly man), stuck in stasis for millenia. I think most of all he wants the armor off so he can take a damn shower!
the smell
Ultra stank
Seriously if he can’t pick up a pen then who is washing his hair? How does he shave?
@@AnIdiotsLantern its the grim darkness of the 42nd millennium, and hes the only loyalist primarch the imperium knows of. They probably have servitors to wash his balls. Shaving? Not likely an issue.
The Eldars words...if chaos isn't the threat and the old's wars...are the Necrons actually the threat.
maybe or somthing else is coming
@@ABorderPrince Tyranids maybe?
" Me wish you itch places scratch you can not..." LOL, brother sergeant said:" do not indulge in the predicament of your sworn brothers young one..." but i'm no ultramarine so i really enjoyed witnessing all mighty Guilliman helpless against a bunch of papers, and his Quote "my greatest enemy..." LOL... facing a comedy in grim darkness of the far future is as unforeseen as the case of Imperial regent coming up with a joke out of the Blue ( pun intended )... it was a nice one... absolutely enjoyable, thanks...
lol glad you liked
Starting to like Mr. Guilliman more and more thx to you and Mr. Haley. Nice job.
Wow, I had thought you'd posted the actual audiobook until the end when you break into your thanks and subscribe outro; that was an amazing professional reading - please keep it up, I've subscribed and liked.
Lol cheers man
We all know wy Papa G, was so eager to jump out of his power pants...
He's Waifu is not a biggest fan of platonic love XD
Visarch's heavy breathing(in the background)
If I recall correctly Perturabo was able to speak ancient Eldar/Aeldari dialects.
disgusting
I really enjoy your Guilliman voice, reminds me of the Dark Imperium audiobook! And well, the fact that Sicarius doesn't have the exact same voice as Guilliman for once I really appreciate.
Wow.
This was well written.
I'm truly impressed.
I’m really starting to doubt where the line is between machine spirit and artificial intelligence. In one point we have a servitor that relies on punch cards to do tasks, and we have the cawl inferior that can act in a variety of ways and act as sassy as a man of iron
Always wondered how this armor would feel, thanks for indulging us
no worries man
In the grim darkness of the warhammer 40k universe, its good to see some humour amidst the bleak galactic war
I really dug this. I like that Rowboat would have a fondness for some kind of dry humor. In my mind there is such a great reverse shot of him sweating, a vein popping out on his forehead as he struggles to pick a piece of paper up off the floor, while his guardian stands in the background pondering why his liege would be over there genuflecting in front of his desk, and what that might mean for the future of the Imperium.
You are a very good voice actor.
Always a pleasure. Thank you man!!
Cheers
I'm a bit behind on some of the newer lore, especially since RG's re-awakening!
So what, Guilliman's now alive, which I knew, but it's because he's in sort of a Darth Vader life support suit!?
So this book is less than subtely hinting at the return of the C'tan?
ahh they have been pushing the necron thing in the background now for awhile the new big threat and cawl is heavily intwined with all that from his stuff as well
THE GREAT WORK CONTINUES!
Each Primarch represents certain traits and characteristics of humanity. And, their interactions serve as a metaphor for the INNER STRUGGLE within all of us.
In 40k, as in real life, the traits & characteristics (represented by the Primarchs) that become most prevalent will INHERANTLY determine the FATE of our species. This, truly, cannot be avoided.
So TL:DL Guillman preparing to take a shower after many years in the same Amour. Musky Imperium, in the grim darkness of the 42 millennium there is no hot running water, only cold showers.....
Sponges and Towels.
We scrub for Macragge!
The 11 ultramarine company's motto.
Eldrad even humoring the idea that Guillimam and he are equals in any way might be the craziest thing I’ve seen from a eldar.
And the second wildest thing is Guilliman being able to speak eldari
" The old war returns "...awesome
Love seeing this side of the Primarchs, shows they are human at their roots
I do like these little character developments where it goes more into their psyche
Guilliman is very patient. He endured to be caught in this armor for years despite all the disadvantages. I hope that it work to get out of it.
You do a really good Eldari voice, I love it!
lol cheers yeah was happy with that
That girly man voice is pretty good, quite close to the audio book for plague wars which is also very good.
o really? i read the book didnt get hte audio. cheers!
As always, really well done!
Thanks
thanks man
The more you hear about the return of Guilimen, the more it sounds like he might now be a perpetual, or is becoming one.
well he a primarch so pretty much already is immortal
@@ABorderPrince While somewhat true, the thing is, there is more than one way to become a perpetual, one is of course to be born one, or to die and be resurrected, ie made one, typically by Eldar witchery.
Boot getting sassed by a hyped up laptop LOL
also, can you imagine the smell when they peal him out of that thing?.. yeesh. Servitors just keeling over. Cherubs dropping out of the air.
Old war? Well now. Doesn't that just stir some attractive possibilities?
it does
Isnt the sleeping king coming back too? Possibilities indeed
Great writing and delivery
Amazing. I've listened to it 3 times lol
awesome glad to hear it
Rancid-butt Grizzlyham, so it seems.
Nurgle surely approves... *shudder
imagine that stank man
Lads if you like the video drop a like. Don't just listen and log off. It makes all the difference!
cheers man
I love this one, nice to have some humanity shown by a primarch!
One of my favourites you've read so far!
Even a demigod can have his embarrassing human moments.
thanks for doing this.
interesting to hear this. please do more :)
more soon
I have been wondering if some of the souls that cawl merged with have infected the cawl Inferior.
Read this one , but non the less another great reading Prince
Maybe Guilleman should let a Magos borrow a few of those tomes and maybe he could get some mechidendrites.
lol share knowledge! NOOOOO
Great work.
thanks!
i was hoping this would end with the Primark taking a hot bath lol
Captions: nowhere was quieter on the crags honor than reboot a Gillman scriptorium
"There are worse things coming than the Primordial Annhilator. The Old War begins anew." Sooo . . . While Chaos is a threat, . . . C'tan may be a worse one?
either the outcast or the void dragon will break free.
yeah thinking ctan
@@ABorderPrince just listened to your "Belisarius Cawl: The Great Work" review. Now I'm thinking some sort of climatic two sided conflict between the created/puppeted races of the Old Ones and the C'tan, with humanity split down the middle.
Man its amazing !
It is
So this Armour is so advanced that it can bring guilliman back from near death, but I’m suppose to believe that there was no way to remove the armored gauntlet or his power fist? A cool audio but I’m not sure I buy that. Like even regular space marines can remove their gauntlets if they choose, so how did Cawl forget about something that’s been a feature on power Armour for literal thousands of years?
nah the armour and the power of the eldar god of the dead did it but they told him i cant take it off and thats what his issue was
I think it's because the Eldari magic is something no human understands. As far as Guiliman was concerned, he had no way of knowing if removing a portion of the armor would kill him as surely as removing all of it.
Space marines in normal power armour: directly interface with their power armour wearing it like another skin and allowing them to utilise their superhuman extramly precise fine motor control.
Rowbot Grilman, a primarch, wearing what must be one of the finest sets of power armour in existence: a bumbling fool who constantly drops things
Try picking up a plastic wallet from the floor
Bloody hell RG is actually played by Sean Bean! This never ends well 😂
He did it! 12k subs! Starting the year right!
13 in a week crazy man
@@ABorderPrince IRON WITHIN IRON WITHOUT!
Enemies greater than the primordial annihilator? I doubt that
necrons bro lol
Necrons, Ctan, Hell there's a high fleet going around, some of them are near Terra, and some eldar harlequins mentioned Gene Steelers on the throne world
Thank you , Prince
There was a "Flatter " tone, less depth as in echo , but audio quality was fine .
I will bring the UA-cam algorithm here! There shall be profligate amounts of internet! We shall defend this house!
i appreciate your efforts sir
In the grim darkness of the far future, humanity still havent gotten past the use of paper..... Even genetically engineered demi-gods are enslaved by them.
Only time I Cato Sicarius doesn't give me Ultradepression
Christ! I honestly thought this was a professional voice actor (if you are, even better) reading the short story, it was amazingly read!
nah just me as a hobby
Makes me chuggle for the second time.
Poor Rowboat, why does everyone takes him so serious in 40K
Thanks for the reading mate 😇
thanks
Do you think THE BLACK LIBRARY has plans to bring the OLD ONES back?
nah not at the moment but defo an area they will explore
Hello . From wich series of books comes this history ? Dark imperium or indomitus ?
you would think a primarch could get a pair of earmuffs!
