Mr mortimer sir, no one does it better. I thought u outsourced the audio to the mr kipling guy. That was before i saw your short at that massive gaming table and i knew the prophecy was completed. Its epic stuff sir bard, the dialogue alone is shokunin level work but the combination with the delivery 👌🍿🇮🇪🍀😎
My favourite fact about Cadia, apart from it always being in our hearts is that from fleets in outer orbit you could still see lasfire from the crust as it was drifting in all directions... true balls of sheer tungsten those guard forces had
Almost 5 hours of perfect Warhammer 40 000 content! Truly, we are blessed. Thank you, it was a rough week, but that video sparks a light of joy in my heart.
Me: Has big test in 12 hours, I cant spare a single tought. Baldermort: Wanna hear about the fall of Cadia? Also me: You sir, have got my fullest attention.
Wait wait wait. I have a 4 hour shift tonight and you are telling me I can listen to Mr. Baldermort the whole time?! Holy Emperor indeed provides in our darkest hour!
I really hope Trazyn feels like being a Saviour again in the future, because imagine him showing up and throwing his Creed Pokeball out in a desperate last stand situation. Imagine how sick it would be to have a critical moment turned around amid cries of "CADIA STANDS!"
@Phillip Gouthier that’s a very difficult question since his injuries are as “collectible” as he is since it happened to him during the fall of Cadia but at the same time a mint condition creed would also be something that Trazyn would want for his collection
@@phillipgouthier5525 i believe he does not care about the Importance of creed like fans of the imperium. For Trazyn is creed just a glorified human wrth collecting
I doubt he will willingly part with that pokeball however much I want to see that. However I'd imagine he would at least stabilize his wounds for a better display piece and to make sure his limited edition human doesn't die om him.
I might be a Slaneeshi lover and warp dust snorting Rock n' Roller, but even after falling to darkness I will always be proud and will always keep Cadia in my heart.
Loving the emotional take on the fall of Cadia. This is work is on par with the military take on the fall made by the lauded Imperial Admiral Border Prince.
The Fall Of Cadia to people who misinterpreted it: this is The Last Jedi all over again!!! The Fall Of Cadia to the people who understand it: this is almost as great as The Empire Strikes Back
Everything except Cawl... I hate the warp squirrel's backstory... it's like they had a room full of people shouting out backstory and someone said, "let's do all of it" ... everything else about the story I love
As someone who likes this story, hates the Disney trilogy and loves the OT, my problem isn't this it's everything that comes after. The Fall of Cadia is fine, but the rest of Gathering Storm is much more TLJ where they destroy the continuity but paper over it with explosions and cool battle sequences so you don't notice than it is Empire where the story moves forward, not entirely logically based on what was set up, but at least coherently.
Holy Throne of Terra, this was wonderful. Audible, GET THIS SERVOSKULL A MIC! For real, This was as good, if not better, as the readers they currently employ for their audio books. Thank you Balders, this was perfect.
Wow! Just wow... I am going to lay back for a couple of hours and drift into the great mind that is our loremaster and witness the Fall of Cadia. Thank you for this brother 🙏👍
Blood Howl, like Leman before him, hurled himself into un-winnable odds with a handful of ships to board the Fortress. I need to see the Space Wolves and Krieg fight together, reckless abandon charge into the fray.
This has to be the best reading of the Fall of Cadia that I have heard. It has life, personality and it doesn't read like an after action report. Please do the next two!
The fact that Abaddon was actually about to be repelled is really hilarious to me,if only for that damn Blackstone fortress alas Cadia lives on in our hearts
No-one, absolutely no-one breathes life and emotion into such a reading, installing in our hearts the truth of an epic; who ever wrote this beautiful tale in its first editions must be on their knees giving thanks, it has been given a blessing as worthy and noble as that of the mighty uncle Baldy. Ok I'm waffling but in truth this is a joy to behold, please uncle Baldy, pass on our thanks to Mrs B, she who makes your life and your love for warhammer so perfect, we thank her too :)
It was good, but i have to say for this i actually prefer the way aborderprince narrated it. I hope he does all 3 of them and maybe he can change my mind - it was, hard to put it, abit too monotous compared to aborderprince maybe?
I listen while making my newest tobacco pipe and found goose bumps and adrenalin, my heart races while I try to calm myself... So I may fix an error I made... The ups and downs of the story mirror my ministrations of my construction... For something so personal yet, now, mixed with this story you narrate, from those you voice who worked in the past... You have brought voice and emotions to the future for me and thousands of others... When I smoke the pipe that has grown from your narration I will always have this story in mind when I smoke it... I am not very good at woodworking my I will maintain pride in this pipe because of your ministrations on this story... Thank You...
Baldermort the hero! Even in his own dark times he still puts out only the highest quality of videos. I truley dont have the words to describe how epic this man is.
Once again, Lord Baldermort has outdone himself. I started listening to this one on Saturday as one of my sons and I were preparing to play some 2nd Edition but we both got spellbound by this telling of Cadia. I relistened today and the feeling of awesomeness was correct, as usual. You Sir are a great treasure to and for the Lore and Game, for GW and Fans. Your stories and your retelling of GW stories have a level of Gravitas to them that in my opinion nobody else comes close. Thank you, dear Sir.
4 and a half hours?? Well there goes my evening, lets fucking go!!!! Thanks Balders (havent watched yet, but i'm sure it's going to be great!!!) for your continued hard work!
Thank you for this! I enjoy the audiobooks very much, but I often find myself wishing it was you narrarating them. (Dan Carlin is also on my wish list for this!) I really hope that you enjoyed doing this and perhaps games workshop will commission you in the future.
Not in your league still for pace or execution. Still! I need more practice. Still! :(. Damn. I’m on holiday now for 7 days. We’ll have to collab when I get back. :). Loving your dune and Battletech stuff as much as the warhammer. Mrs B says hi. :).
Had to revisit this epic story. I find your telling is just as well wrought as when I first heard it. You brother Baldemort are a treasure of lore and vocal talent. Thank you again for everything you and Mrs. B do to entertain us, your humble listeners.
I actually did a double take when a saw that video time! I will prepare myself as one does before watching a saga, akin to an uncut version of life of the rings, and enjoy. Thank you for the obviously massive amount of work it must have taken to put it together Mr Baldermort!
Thank you for this brother! I've had a horrible day whilst being sick with a sore throat and now have to tackle a mountain of paperwork. You've no idea how relieved I am to have this playing as I power through my work! As a Son of Russ, I can't wait to hear about Bloodhowl and his shenanigans in Abbadon's floating space chandelier 🔥
The only way this could be matched is if you have animations detailing the troop movements and artwork of the individual characters as it went. (Seriously amazing work Baldemort, exquisite)
I am a long time listening to this amazing work of art. I have restarted many times and try to set aside time to listen to this uninterrupted. When I get to listen in peace it is glorious. I do not think I'll get to listen to it all in peace but it is amazing even in stages.
Good job doing the Fall of Cadia! It's the book that got me into 40k. The Fall of Cadia is a very unique story to me because when I read it I knew that Cadia fell, and I knew "The planet broke, before the guard did" but I never expected it to be literal. The image of normal human surroundes by their dying homeplanet, with indefinite demons and horrors materializing around them. With their answer to this terrible situation being utter fearlesness, determination and my favorite battle cry at this moment. CADIA STANDS! Made warhammer into one of my favorite stories!
I’m new to the hobby. I have yet to play my first game. For the past 4 months every night I listen to 1 baldermort episode. ( usually anything about the dark angels) while I paint. It’s how I make my time every day for ‘fun’. When I saw that this entry is at over 4 hours, I wept a little…. And then promptly decided that I need to head down to the Games Workshop and pick up a Cadian unit or two for painting while listening to this one specifically. Over four hours of FUN!!!
Thank you for this wonderful gift on a Saturday afternoon. What a truly spectacular way to spend the later part of the day instead of the mind numbing entertainment normally on offer. You did an amazing job in this reading and your voice as always managed to put me right into the story. I do have to say though that as good as this was I think your writings and creations are better. I know, I know this is cannon but your stories are easily as good and sometimes far surpass what is official. Thank you again for doing this for us and I truly hope you're taking time for a bit of fun...
The only reason that Cadia fell was cause there wasn't enough Black Templars this is yet another masterpiece my guy. But yea Cadia was given the good old slap
The thought of Helbrecht rallying every single Black Templar crusader fleet and arriving at the first light of the fifth day like a even more pissed off ride of the rohirrim brings me great joy
I found Baldermort's channel yesterday by mistake looking for something regarding the awakening of Roboute Guilliman, i found a 4 hour long work of art. Since my job is pretty dull most of the time, this channel has proved to be a life-saver for me. Thank you Sir Baldermort, keep up the godly work. THE EMPEROR PROTECTS, and most of all, CADIA STANDS!
Scrolling through my subscribed channels and see a new baldermort video. Then realize it's 4 and a half hours... this will make my weekend working so much better thank you!
I love these so much that I wished you narrated children's books: "and then Winnie the pooh sighed to Christopher Robin: 'oh bother' END QUOTE!!!!!!!!"
This is coming at a fantastic time for me Baldermort! I am on book 6 of the Commissar Kane series and this is providing some very good backdrop to what was going on during his strife! Thank you!
Bald I’ve found your channel through recommendations from friends and while I’ve not been here long and you probably won’t see this. I wanna say that I’m incredibly thankful for your masterful narration of this audiobook.
Oh they’ve much better narrators than I. Those guys are smooth. I have to edit hard to get it even to this level. Thank you for your kindness. Means a lot brother.
Bless you Lord Baldermort. Bringing the history and legendary stories of the 40k universe to life. You’re the best lore master and if this was 40k I would follow you into whatever hellish fires the universe would throw at the Empire of Man. Bless you, and may the Emperor protect you for years to come!
I stayed up far to late listening to the whole thing. Well worth the fatigue this morning. Thank you again, was one of the most entertaining 4.5 hours I’ve had in awhile.
Just getting practice for another project. *Winks* Email me brother. See how its going? :) Hope you are as well as is possible under the circumstances. :)
Never apologize for repeats or the like.. these are gold. Best narration I've heard. Keeps me immersed in the world and that's actually a hard trick to pull off even for the better narrators around.
Greyfax: _"Celestine's a heretic!"_ Cawl: _"Bold words coming from someone infested with nanomachines"_ I wonder which one of his minds cooked up that savage burn
OMG YOU ARE A SAVIOUR i just lost a big ass project to a power out and have to start from scratch, now i atleast have something to listen to .Thank you so much for saving my day!
I had tears in my eyes when I saw a Baldermort video of 4 1/2 hrs.. and Cadia to beat it all. From the bottom of my grimdark heart I thank you for the mental movie your voice just guided me thru. I get joy out of thinking you go thru your IRL day with that voice lol.. "I'd like a caramel macchiato and muffffinnn... pleasee" lol. Don't tell me different..its all I got in this world to hold onto like my linus blanket lol. Keep it up..FOR THE EMPEROR!!
Baldermort, you are an incredible person. Thank you so much for this amazing gift. This is literally one of my favorite books I've ever heard and I've only heard it because of your publishing of this audiobook. What a momentous period 40K lore! Thank you so much for all your amazing and hard work.
These readings help make slow days at work go by quickly. I was able to wash the store front windows,stock the drink cooler, and wonder, what now? Personally, I haven't had time to find the books and read what transpired for the fall of Cadia. Thank you for this reading.

Can you do a video on the red scorpions and the Crimson Slaughter.
Good lord papa Baldermort, you outdid yourself this time!
Swiftly he says ...4hs he means =) =)=)!!!
Each time you set a new standard for every lore channel. Not just for Warhammer but, all channels of all kinds.
Mr mortimer sir, no one does it better. I thought u outsourced the audio to the mr kipling guy. That was before i saw your short at that massive gaming table and i knew the prophecy was completed. Its epic stuff sir bard, the dialogue alone is shokunin level work but the combination with the delivery 👌🍿🇮🇪🍀😎
My favourite fact about Cadia, apart from it always being in our hearts is that from fleets in outer orbit you could still see lasfire from the crust as it was drifting in all directions... true balls of sheer tungsten those guard forces had
the planet broke before the guard!
Future Space Tungsten
For the guard for cadia for the emperor
Barking toads!
"The planet broke before the Guard did!"
Almost 5 hours of perfect Warhammer 40 000 content! Truly, we are blessed. Thank you, it was a rough week, but that video sparks a light of joy in my heart.
Agreed we are unworthy of such magesty!
Get out more
This was an exceptional listen, glorious Lore blended with story. BALDERMORT Iis truly the Bard of 40k
Me: Has big test in 12 hours, I cant spare a single tought.
Baldermort: Wanna hear about the fall of Cadia?
Also me: You sir, have got my fullest attention.
And my fullest erection.
I salute you for your actions and hopefully it didn’t go too badly 😆
Did reply cause he flunked it hard 😝 it's ok tho because he knows the planet broke before the guard ✊
Remember knowledge in any form is respected by us adepts of the machine spirit
Did you pass?
I honestly don't know if I'm emotionally ready for the journey Baldermort is about to take me on.
My mind has been hardened by watching MWG Dave say “Khorne” 8,888 times for ~8 hours.
@@Inquisitor_Vex yes...that was quite one beefy dive.
@@nix-cipher t’was a gory the likes of which will not be seen again for an age.
The plant broke before the guard, but us views broke before Baldermort
Wait wait wait. I have a 4 hour shift tonight and you are telling me I can listen to Mr. Baldermort the whole time?! Holy Emperor indeed provides in our darkest hour!
You are lucky friend! Alas mine is 8 so I only have half my shift covered :(
Yes, he does.
That sounds lovely. My job is too fast-paced, so I could never do this.
Patients sadly passed.
Houses sadly burnt.
Homes sadly burgled.
Produce sadly wasted.
We, thematically sated.😁👍
This is amazing Baldermort, as a Cadian player myself, this will be a re-watched video over and over!
I really hope Trazyn feels like being a Saviour again in the future, because imagine him showing up and throwing his Creed Pokeball out in a desperate last stand situation. Imagine how sick it would be to have a critical moment turned around amid cries of "CADIA STANDS!"
Would Creed still be critically wounded, or do you think Trazyn would treat him to return him to near mint condition?
@Phillip Gouthier that’s a very difficult question since his injuries are as “collectible” as he is since it happened to him during the fall of Cadia but at the same time a mint condition creed would also be something that Trazyn would want for his collection
@@phillipgouthier5525 i believe he does not care about the Importance of creed like fans of the imperium. For Trazyn is creed just a glorified human wrth collecting
@@AT-AT26 I was thinking Trazyn would want to put up a diorama of him leading some 8th against cultists and call it "The Last Stand of Cadia."
I doubt he will willingly part with that pokeball however much I want to see that.
However I'd imagine he would at least stabilize his wounds for a better display piece and to make sure his limited edition human doesn't die om him.
I might be a Slaneeshi lover and warp dust snorting Rock n' Roller, but even after falling to darkness I will always be proud and will always keep Cadia in my heart.
The planet broke before the guard.
**in a heavy British accent**
Caediyah stānds
Even us Chaos worshippers keep Cadia in our hearts. Those Militarum earn our respect
Hi colleague! Things are going well within Slaanesh's Palace?
The whole Cadia stands section is incredible. This and the longest second are some of your best work. so good.
You must know I didn’t write this. It’s GW official.
Loving the emotional take on the fall of Cadia. This is work is on par with the military take on the fall made by the lauded Imperial Admiral Border Prince.
That one is an all-time favourite. This one is very likely to be the same I reckon.
The Fall Of Cadia to people who misinterpreted it: this is The Last Jedi all over again!!!
The Fall Of Cadia to the people who understand it: this is almost as great as The Empire Strikes Back
That is so so true. Brilliant observation. Can I nick it? :)
@@Baldermort that’s how people used to view it when it first came out
Oh definitley!
Everything except Cawl... I hate the warp squirrel's backstory... it's like they had a room full of people shouting out backstory and someone said, "let's do all of it" ... everything else about the story I love
As someone who likes this story, hates the Disney trilogy and loves the OT, my problem isn't this it's everything that comes after. The Fall of Cadia is fine, but the rest of Gathering Storm is much more TLJ where they destroy the continuity but paper over it with explosions and cool battle sequences so you don't notice than it is Empire where the story moves forward, not entirely logically based on what was set up, but at least coherently.
Holy Throne of Terra, this was wonderful. Audible, GET THIS SERVOSKULL A MIC! For real, This was as good, if not better, as the readers they currently employ for their audio books. Thank you Balders, this was perfect.
Fantastic reading, this deserves SO many more views. Hope to listen to many more longform readings in the future.
Have you tired a border prince? He does great read through a!
@@Baldermort not yet, only recently started listening to the lore after seeing Luetin's channel, but I'll check it out.
Wow! Just wow... I am going to lay back for a couple of hours and drift into the great mind that is our loremaster and witness the Fall of Cadia. Thank you for this brother 🙏👍
Commisar baldermort loremaster of the second crusade
Oh, it's back! I listen to this every night. When you lost your channel, well, to say I missed it is an understatement. I am glad you are back.
Blood Howl, like Leman before him, hurled himself into un-winnable odds with a handful of ships to board the Fortress. I need to see the Space Wolves and Krieg fight together, reckless abandon charge into the fray.
CADIA STANDS!!!!!!!!!!
*Yes*
Indeed brother and as long as krige stands we will avenge cadia.
"Celestine's presence was both a balm and a spur to holy madness"
Gave me chills
This has to be the best reading of the Fall of Cadia that I have heard. It has life, personality and it doesn't read like an after action report.
Please do the next two!
The fact that Abaddon was actually about to be repelled is really hilarious to me,if only for that damn Blackstone fortress alas Cadia lives on in our hearts
Thank you Baldermort, it hurts ever so slightly less hearing this tale from you
4 and a half hours of Baldermort on Cadia? Coffee ready! Let the painting marathon begin!
I would like to think that Cadia still fights on in the Warp. It may not be the lenchpin of the Imperium but the Cadian Guard would not die easily.
No-one, absolutely no-one breathes life and emotion into such a reading, installing in our hearts the truth of an epic; who ever wrote this beautiful tale in its first editions must be on their knees giving thanks, it has been given a blessing as worthy and noble as that of the mighty uncle Baldy.
Ok I'm waffling but in truth this is a joy to behold, please uncle Baldy, pass on our thanks to Mrs B, she who makes your life and your love for warhammer so perfect, we thank her too :)
It was good, but i have to say for this i actually prefer the way aborderprince narrated it. I hope he does all 3 of them and maybe he can change my mind - it was, hard to put it, abit too monotous compared to aborderprince maybe?
Imagine Dan Carlin doing a 'Hardcore History' with Warhammer...
I listen while making my newest tobacco pipe and found goose bumps and adrenalin, my heart races while I try to calm myself... So I may fix an error I made...

10 seconds in and already hooked. Sir Baldermort, you sir, are a genius
This deserves so many views.
I greatly appreciate the work you do to make the lore of warhammer accessible to newbies and old hands alike.
4 and a half hours?? Well there goes my evening, lets fucking go!!!!
Thanks Balders (havent watched yet, but i'm sure it's going to be great!!!) for your continued hard work!

THANK YOU BROTHER BALDERMORT!
What a perfect way to start my weekend of relaxation and painting those Necron's in my pile of shame
The fastest 4 hours of my life. Couldn't believe how good this was. I was gripped and enjoyed every minute. Thanks Baldermort!
This has been my bedtime story for well over six months now!!! Love your magical work good sir!!!
Omg I'm stuck at work right now but tonight....
ITS GOING DOWN.
Thanks Baldermort!
4 hours!?!? You've outdone yourself, sir!
Not in your league still for pace or execution. Still! I need more practice. Still! :(.
Damn. I’m on holiday now for 7 days.
We’ll have to collab when I get back. :).
Loving your dune and Battletech stuff as much as the warhammer. Mrs B says hi. :).
@@Baldermort Thank you both! Recently dug out all my 1st edition battletech novels and books ;)
Yeeesss I have something to look forward to this weekend for my drive (hour and half to LGS both ways)
Had to revisit this epic story. I find your telling is just as well wrought as when I first heard it. You brother Baldemort are a treasure of lore and vocal talent. Thank you again for everything you and Mrs. B do to entertain us, your humble listeners.
Cannot wait to listen to this while getting my paint game on! I swear if they ever rebirth the emperor, Baldermort has to play the voice
I actually did a double take when a saw that video time! I will prepare myself as one does before watching a saga, akin to an uncut version of life of the rings, and enjoy. Thank you for the obviously massive amount of work it must have taken to put it together Mr Baldermort!
Came back to this after you released it a year ago because you did just such a god damn good job.
This hit my sub box harder than a bolter shell hits a snowman. Thank you so much for all your hard work, Baldermort!
Please for the love of god, do more like this it’s amazing.
Thank you for this brother! I've had a horrible day whilst being sick with a sore throat and now have to tackle a mountain of paperwork. You've no idea how relieved I am to have this playing as I power through my work! As a Son of Russ, I can't wait to hear about Bloodhowl and his shenanigans in Abbadon's floating space chandelier 🔥
I wonder if it's weird that I come back and re-listen to this every couple of weeks, start to finish.
The narrator often makes or breaks an audio book this one is absolutely outstanding!
The only way this could be matched is if you have animations detailing the troop movements and artwork of the individual characters as it went. (Seriously amazing work Baldemort, exquisite)
Wow. Won't be able to go through this in one sitting, though. Supberb, thanks for making my weekend! ;)
Ok Unc! I see You! Guess Im gonna make time for fun with this and paint flamestorm aggressors for The Honorable Salamanders!
I am a long time listening to this amazing work of art. I have restarted many times and try to set aside time to listen to this uninterrupted. When I get to listen in peace it is glorious. I do not think I'll get to listen to it all in peace but it is amazing even in stages.
Holy moly 4 hours. Baldermort you spoil us.
Good job doing the Fall of Cadia! It's the book that got me into 40k.

The only reason that Cadia fell was cause there wasn't enough Black Templars this is yet another masterpiece my guy. But yea Cadia was given the good old slap
Not enough Death Korps with the Templars. Cadia wouldn't have fallen, but the body count would have been the same.
also abadon had a tamtrum
The thought of Helbrecht rallying every single Black Templar crusader fleet and arriving at the first light of the fifth day like a even more pissed off ride of the rohirrim brings me great joy
It wasn't the ground forces who lost. It was the ground itself.
@@tobydawes6007 if it helps he did stomp the ground forces
First time listener. Never going back.
Prepare for 1 more view on every one of your exceptional videos

I found Baldermort's channel yesterday by mistake looking for something regarding the awakening of Roboute Guilliman, i found a 4 hour long work of art. Since my job is pretty dull most of the time, this channel has proved to be a life-saver for me. Thank you Sir Baldermort, keep up the godly work. THE EMPEROR PROTECTS, and most of all, CADIA STANDS!
Wow i'll be listening for this for very long time as my go to sleep story :D
This is gonna take me a couple days to watch this video
Scrolling through my subscribed channels and see a new baldermort video. Then realize it's 4 and a half hours... this will make my weekend working so much better thank you!
I love these so much that I wished you narrated children's books: "and then Winnie the pooh sighed to Christopher Robin: 'oh bother' END QUOTE!!!!!!!!"
This is coming at a fantastic time for me Baldermort! I am on book 6 of the Commissar Kane series and this is providing some very good backdrop to what was going on during his strife! Thank you!
The planet broke before the guard did... CADIA STANDS!! Once again a wonderfull entry kind sir!!
Perfect timing, I was just about to start painting as well!
Truely a blessing to have such a wonderful long format video! Fantastic job!👏👏
If you listened to this whole thing and haven't hit like then do it now. This man has earned it.
Thank you for putting this together and the amount of effort you put into the videos you make.
Oh boy such a large vid on a Friday oh what a treat
"Oh cool, a new Baldemort video. I wonder how long this one- JESUS CHRIST"
*4:30**hrs!*
Really putting in the work baldy. Thanks for the summery
Bald I’ve found your channel through recommendations from friends and while I’ve not been here long and you probably won’t see this. I wanna say that I’m incredibly thankful for your masterful narration of this audiobook.
Thanks. :)
@@Baldermort you’ve rightfully earned a sub,I’ve watched over 20 of your vids already.
Thank you good sir. Your dedication to the lore humbles us all.
This was AWESOMEEEE to listen to during a painting marathon
This is the man I want reading every Warhammer book in audio format, his voice is just *phew*
Oh they’ve much better narrators than I. Those guys are smooth. I have to edit hard to get it even to this level.
Thank you for your kindness. Means a lot brother.
Bless you Lord Baldermort. Bringing the history and legendary stories of the 40k universe to life. You’re the best lore master and if this was 40k I would follow you into whatever hellish fires the universe would throw at the Empire of Man. Bless you, and may the Emperor protect you for years to come!
Oh man, now I really want other books to be read by your wonderful voice.
Baldermort always surprises me with exceptional quality, but this is a straight up Labor of Love. wow.
I stayed up far to late listening to the whole thing. Well worth the fatigue this morning. Thank you again, was one of the most entertaining 4.5 hours I’ve had in awhile.
Thank you so much for your hard work in making this, mr. Baldermort! I will enjoy this greatly.
Coming back every few months because I keep falling asleep to this video
Man this was epic to listen to, I can't imagine the work hours put into making this
Utterly brilliant! Brother Baldermort and Mrs B you have surpassed your selves, bravo!
Just getting practice for another project. *Winks* Email me brother. See how its going? :) Hope you are as well as is possible under the circumstances. :)
Never apologize for repeats or the like.. these are gold. Best narration I've heard. Keeps me immersed in the world and that's actually a hard trick to pull off even for the better narrators around.
Thanks for this, brother. I needed this. Your great videos help pass the time of my night shifts. Kudos!
Greyfax: _"Celestine's a heretic!"_
Cawl: _"Bold words coming from someone infested with nanomachines"_
I wonder which one of his minds cooked up that savage burn
Damn that was good! Thanks, man. Your voice is perfect for 40k stories!
You were born to narrate these novels. No voice could be a better fit! Thank you!
OMG YOU ARE A SAVIOUR
i just lost a big ass project to a power out and have to start from scratch, now i atleast have something to listen to .Thank you so much for saving my day!
The Gathering Storm books was such a blast, i would love to hear you narrate the Celestian Crusade to Guilliman's Resurrection
I had tears in my eyes when I saw a Baldermort video of 4 1/2 hrs.. and Cadia to beat it all. From the bottom of my grimdark heart I thank you for the mental movie your voice just guided me thru. I get joy out of thinking you go thru your IRL day with that voice lol.. "I'd like a caramel macchiato and muffffinnn... pleasee" lol. Don't tell me different..its all I got in this world to hold onto like my linus blanket lol. Keep it up..FOR THE EMPEROR!!
Well that was truly incredible, I’ve never been so gripped. What an amazing and gifted narrator you are.
Baldermort, you are an incredible person. Thank you so much for this amazing gift. This is literally one of my favorite books I've ever heard and I've only heard it because of your publishing of this audiobook. What a momentous period 40K lore! Thank you so much for all your amazing and hard work.
4 1/2 hours of baldy!!!! I can’t wait to go on a hike this weekend with this to keep my mind off my feet!
4.5 hours of lore from my favorite WH40k UA-camr? What a blessing from the Emperor! Thank you loremaster Baldermort!
This is one of the best videos I have ever seen. I gleefully listen to this grand story while painting my reaver titan. Blessed be the Omnissiah!
These readings help make slow days at work go by quickly. I was able to wash the store front windows,stock the drink cooler, and wonder, what now? Personally, I haven't had time to find the books and read what transpired for the fall of Cadia. Thank you for this reading.
No one else could have told this lore better the baldermort thanks for the great video
I’m moving to another state soon and it’s gonna be the longest drive I’ve had in my life. Now I know what I’ll be listening to, on the way there.
