honestly, Boldermort, Luetin09 and Arch in charge of 40K's Lore or even all their Lore in general, it would probably improve things SO much. not to mention the fact that unlike Black Library, they would actually know what the writers shouldn't be allowed to write about. Like, ADB generally shouldnt be let near Imperial Lore with a 10 foot pole and Gav Thorpe shouldnt even be allowed to talk about the Dark Angels.
@@the_emperor_of_mankind I'm actually shook now that you made me realize I've never once read about them assuming a testudo formation. I wonder who is to blame? *stares intently*

The fact that they have standardize taunts that are a part of their tactics is hilarious. I thought that a fist would not bother taunting, but the idea that they taunt as a organized strategy is gold.
This is what we call in Iceland " Öndvegisrit" roughly translates to " A piece of literature that revolutionizes its era" . This is simply art , every great lore video will be compared to this one when determing its quality Well done Baldermort Well done indeed
I'm surprised there isn't alot more love for the Imperial Fists than like the Ultramarines. They are literally the saviors of Terra and will always hold a fortified position in my heart❤
They’re second only to the Salamanders in my mind. Together they represent the best of Imperial artifice, and they both tend to actually give a damn about civilians which is nice.
@Thomas Taylor On the contrary. Choice of Ultramarine generalists as poster boys pays of handsomely - just by contrasting with them you have such exquisisite, elite formations like Imperial Fists.
Hearing the words "Slander at will" and then saying they were made by psychological expert only brought up the image of a Space Wolf teaching them how it's done.
“Long before the primarch of the Ultramarines, the honoured Roboute Guilliman, formulated the Codex Astartes, the battle-brothers of the VII Space Marine Legion were governed by traditions of honour and discipline handed down from the most ancient traditions of Terra itself.

**Sees new intro** "Some may complain about length of it, now where did i put- ah, here it is !" **STAMP** "There !" *≡][≡ "No complaining allowed !" ≡][≡* Jokes aside, that intro is neat, Lord Baldemort.
The Ultramarines, so proud and bombastic whenever reciting both their chapter and Primarchs glories and achievements word for word. But as for the Sons of Dorn himself, the Imperial Fists, true glory comes from the doing of the action, not its constant reciting.
"Hey guys I'm awake again and that codex I made you all follow for 10 thousand years, yeah... that's out, here's my new approach. What do you mean I didn't have time to write it?! What do you mean why would I write the first one then swap almost immediately? Look bigger marines!"
I'm gonna be that guy and say no. Rogal would have been a poor Lord Commander of the current Imperium compared to Guilliman. Guilliman has the greater grand strategic capabilities (he organized the whole, successful, Indomitus Crusade), is a better politician (which despite the connotations attached to the word is absolutely necessary in the current Imperium, the Hexarchy is a good example of that), and he isn't a complete social retard. Dorn is an amazing character but he has a niche, and that niche is as a soldier.
Anyone that hits that thumbs down button is a heretic Guys this is amazing. I am in awe of the writing, the acting. The production value of this....thank you Baldemort, and the whole.crew with him in this. *Does himself wear the black armor of the black templars and applauds with his kill team watching the performance*. For the Emperor, For Rogal Dorn!
Last Wall Protocol initialization message received. The Wolves of Dorn acknowledge the call to arms from our honorable Brothers of the Imperial Fists. For the Emperor, for Rogal, for Humanity!
Because for poster you need generalists like Ultramarines. That decision makes Imperial Fists and other niche specialized chapters all the more unique. All the more .... fistful.
Nurgle will take a shower Khorne will overcome his anger management Slaanesh swear a vow of celibacy Tzeenth will stop playing monopoly Before baldemort will not be uploading the best content in the galaxy
Tzeentch swaps board games every other month, last month it was waraxe 50m, before that it was clue, before that was uno, then we lost track, then again, what do you expect from a chaos god of chaos y'know?
YES. YES. YEEEEEES!!!!! Baldy, I think I speak for every one of your viewers when I say that you are a one-of-a-kind creator and storyteller. Our gratification and thanks is not near enough repayment for the hours of work you put into everything you create. Thank you for your sacrifices and for your amazing content!
Slowly but surely Baldemort is making me an absolute fan of the Imperial Fists. I got emotional watching and listening through your Dorne videos, when they came out. Amazing level of work once again and thank you for making 2020 better! :) Your channel has grown significantly along with the amount of comments, but I hope this one will still find you along with my full respect.
I'm not sure what I'm waiting for here, lol. But I saw Boldemort, a "set reminder" button, and IMPERIAL FISTS...it just made sense to start fortifying my position.
Every time I'm doing brickwork, I'm always thinking: " I am fortifying this position". Baldemort my good Sir, you just made my night! Brilliant work! For Dorn, for the Emperor!

Feth sake mate... Games Workshop/Black Library really needs to hire you to narrate an audiobook or more! You truly live in the setting and bring a feeling that few narrators can achieve. Thank you for all your amazing work of giving the fandom proper lore videos with proper drama and a grim voice that truly fits the setting.
I'm not an imperial fist player but I respect the hell out of them in the lore no matter how bad things get the fists never retreat they are stubborn and stalwart and if the built it good luck yanking it down
The Astartes fan animation is what peaked my interest into 40k. You're series on Dorn had me hooked and now I built my own force of the Emperor's Fists.
I used to think I was an ultra Marine fan ..but now....I'm truly an imperial Fist fan from this video! Lovely work and fantastic video! Hope GW never takes anything of yours down.
This video came up in my recommendations and holy shit I am so happy it did. I can’t wait to listen to the rest of your content. This is incredible lore.
Coming back to this video again, it is a work of art and a masterclass on how to blend existing wisdom, the state of the game, unique narrative, and the voice acting talents of several pillars of our community. Truly beautiful.
I think this is one of the most sincere episodes you’ve produced, you my friend have such a unique view concerning this wonderful...{( IP ) hobby,} ...such fun. Thanks my Bud. .....Keep playin’, Playa’..!!!
Over an hour of Baldermort? Yes please. This was well worth the wait, and I'm not even done watching yet. May the Emperor gaze upon your toil and be pleased
I’ll always be an Ultramarine and Guilliman fan first. But you’ve got to admit, there’s just something special about seeing a wall of yellow artillery and bodies lining the walls of the Imperial palace against a wave of traitors. Like a light holding off the encroaching darkness.
Big fan of Luetin, Wolf Lord Rho & Aborder Prince but you are on another level Baldemort! This & the Rogal Dorn Praetorian of Terra trilogy (closely followed by Szareks Silent King history) are without a doubt for me, the three most engrossing and addictive 40k lore stories I've heard, listened to them all several times and each time I am still astonished by your attention to detail, work ethic and masterfully inspiring renditions.. thank you so much for the huge amount of work you have put in to make them so enjoyable!
Salamanders #3 walks into the room: "Hey, what are you two laughing about so much?" Salamanders #1 wipes the tears from his face and tries to catch his breath after such boisterous laughter: "Sorry Brother, we were just learning about the 'pain glove' and 'simulated fires'!"
Mr Baldermort, I'm copying and pasting a comment I made on your third Rogal Dorn video, since it's an older video and you might miss my thanks for the job you have done. You deserve all the praise you are getting and more: "I just finished your amazing trilogy, what a journey! I loved Rogal Dorn before watching these 3 videos, now I *demand* his return, right now! I'm new to the hobby and I'm building my first army: Ultramarines. I already know that in the future, *when* Rogal will return, not "if", *when* he'll return, I'll start building an Imperial Fists army and it will be *glorious* ! Thank you Baldemort for these 3 great videos, the Emperor would be proud :) " For Rogal Dorn!
I really hope you give all the other chapters and primarchs you've given Dorn and the imperial fists. These have been so engrossing for someone who is interested in 40k lore but doesn't play the game.
I cannot believe I missed this video somehow. This was an astounding video. I hope that when you are able to do a story on your favorite space marine chapter and legion that you can throw yourself into it with just as much vigor as this video. Thank you for your wonderful efforts!!!!!
You sir are a blessing amoung us nerds. Ur voice, character, ideals and introspection are top notch. May he on the golden throne forever protect your soul from chaos
Sir Baldermort, you have outdone yourself. I sat immersed in the world of your storytelling and loving the lore of one of my favorite Chapters/Legions in 40K. A special Shout out to those who helped you with their voices. Thank you for helping Sir Baldermort tell a truelly epic tale.
Holy Bolter SPAM! I cannot wait for this! I don't know If there's been any hinted video I've been more hyped for than this. BalderLORD, lay unto thou your knowledge of the grandest fisting this galaxy has needed! WOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Dear uncle baldie, about three weeks ago I decided to detox off suboxone and meth when I had broken my foot and had to be off work anyway. You, luetin09 and a border prince got me through the detox but my foot hadn't gotten any better I'm now clean off the drugs but hospitalized with a staff infection in my foot,.mrsa in my blood, and pneumonia. I really needed this extra massive video for my extra massive misery. I don't think I've ever heard of a single long time heavy usage adict just getting clean. It almost, and often does, kills us every time. Every little bit of motivation to keep breathing means at least a little longer life. You've given me a longer life, Baldie, and I genuinely love you so much I wish I could hug you.
Neil no, brother. Tough it out. Any way you can. Addiction is a total bast**d. So consider it a war. One you CAN and WILL win. Then have some time getting back into the swing of things. Enjoy yourself outdoors etc. You’ll look back one day soon and be utterly proud of yourself. You got this brother.
Just just found out the enfection has not gone to my heart. I'M GOING TO LIVE! I literally just finished having the ultrasound on my heart. Baldie, you and the other lore channels literally save lives with the work you do. I have absolutely no desire to go back to that life. Here in out, my addiction is gonna be minis. I've been watching wh40k for years now and I need to put that drug money somewhere else. I've always wanted to do dioramas
Neil dioramas are just amazing. But we didn’t save your life. You did. Balls of STEEL brother. You’ve Balls of steel! So be good to yourself and bony Every second you can. I’m elated you came back to update us here on the guides. Thank you! Best news in weeks. :)
An obviously amazing video. I am continually impressed by your growth as a creator, AV editing and transitions just keep getting better. Massive thanks to you, and a bigger thanks to Mrs. B for letting us into your life.
This is nothing less than a master stroke from someone who's truly passionate about their job. The fact that it is for my favorite Legion makes it all the sweeter. Will each of the legions get their own video like this?
Mr. Baldermort I thoroughly enjoyed the story and commend you on an excellent production. I havent played the tabletop but I do ply the videogame version. It is refreshing to hear about the history of the units I am playing. Much thanks to you and your staff. May the Emperor watch over you
This has made my first lonely day back in the office after working at home for months a positive joy. Incredible video, brilliant guest voice actors, fantastic story, and one of the most comprehensive lore explorations I've ever watched. I'd say you just proved yourself to be one of the undisputed top tier 40K streamers on UA-cam Baldy, and I thank you for being such a true hammer legend.
i really enjoy this structure. Very compelling. You bring your stories alive, by the way; and in doing so, have one of my all time favorite Warhammer channels, if not my favorite one. I would love to see more of this style in the future!
Dear gentle listeners, well, I can only hope this was worth the wait. It did take an inordinate amount of time to put together and I have had zero time off and long days doing it. Just to explain that there may just be light bites for the next week. I sincerely hope you enjoy the show.

Taunting to provoke your enemy into acting rashly is actually totally legitimate military strategy. So it makes sense.

“There is no such sauce product”
-Rogal Dorn
Roboutte Guilliman: “would you rather I died, and Rogal Dorn lived?”
GW Players: “YES”
Dorn yet lives! He shall return at our great need, to be the Right Hand of The Emperor revived!
Or... ya know, it would be cool if he did lol
"Hey guys I'm awake again and that codex I made you all follow for 10 thousand years, yeah... that's out, here's my new approach.
What do you mean I didn't have time to write it?!
What do you mean why would I write the first one then swap almost immediately?
Look bigger marines!"
I'm gonna be that guy and say no. Rogal would have been a poor Lord Commander of the current Imperium compared to Guilliman. Guilliman has the greater grand strategic capabilities (he organized the whole, successful, Indomitus Crusade), is a better politician (which despite the connotations attached to the word is absolutely necessary in the current Imperium, the Hexarchy is a good example of that), and he isn't a complete social retard. Dorn is an amazing character but he has a niche, and that niche is as a soldier.
Dear Emperor...I can hear hear Valrak from here.
Any second now...
@@shovelenthusiast7389 2 hours in but hey i ain't complaining.
Anyone that hits that thumbs down button is a heretic
Guys this is amazing. I am in awe of the writing, the acting. The production value of this....thank you Baldemort, and the whole.crew with him in this.
*Does himself wear the black armor of the black templars and applauds with his kill team watching the performance*. For the Emperor, For Rogal Dorn!
I am a Heretic, yet I hit like.
Last Wall Protocol initialization message received.
The Wolves of Dorn acknowledge the call to arms from our honorable Brothers of the Imperial Fists.
For the Emperor, for Rogal, for Humanity!
Mechafreak84 wolves? Of Dorn? Hahahaha!
The shadow wolves answer the call for rogal dorn, for holy terra, for the emperor, and for humanity
The Fists of Retribution answer the call. For Dorn and the Emperor.
How the Son's of Dorn are no longer the flagship marines other than the Ultras' is beyond me
Apparently blue is easier to paint
HenchmenNo616 They a not of rogue Trader. The Crimson Fists are the first Marines, in short GW dropped the ball. And blue is better.
For those who are new here: Crimson Fists were the first space marines introduced by GW... a successor chapter of the Imperial Fists!
Because for poster you need generalists like Ultramarines. That decision makes Imperial Fists and other niche specialized chapters all the more unique. All the more .... fistful.
Yeah, I don't need the Fists to be poster boys for them to be awesome. I like the black templars and they're too crazy to represent the astartes
The last time I was this early, everyone thought Horus was loyal

Things women say to James for 500 please, Alex.
Last time I was this early,was when i was there when Horus slew the emperor
I must fortify this comment in the name of Dorn and for the emperor

Before baldemort will not be uploading the best content in the galaxy
Tzeentch swaps board games every other month, last month it was waraxe 50m, before that it was clue, before that was uno, then we lost track, then again, what do you expect from a chaos god of chaos y'know?
@@IdontKnow-nm8bz right now he’s doing Rising Sun
I though the longest second was great but now our man is putting out full audiobooks, absolutely indomitable
YES. YES. YEEEEEES!!!!! Baldy, I think I speak for every one of your viewers when I say that you are a one-of-a-kind creator and storyteller. Our gratification and thanks is not near enough repayment for the hours of work you put into everything you create. Thank you for your sacrifices and for your amazing content!
"You're simply the best, better than all the rest"
A magnum opus to be remembered and cherished by all!
Please give this treatment to the Raven Guard, your touch to the clandestine nature of the Raven Guard would be a masterpiece
Slowly but surely Baldemort is making me an absolute fan of the Imperial Fists. I got emotional watching and listening through your Dorne videos, when they came out. Amazing level of work once again and thank you for making 2020 better! :) Your channel has grown significantly along with the amount of comments, but I hope this one will still find you along with my full respect.
Many thanks brother. I read as many as I can, but am simply unable to respond to them all anymore. Schedule is a bit manic. :). Thank you!!! :)
I'm not sure what I'm waiting for here, lol. But I saw Boldemort, a "set reminder" button, and IMPERIAL FISTS...it just made sense to start fortifying my position.
Baldermort now sits upon the golden throne of 40k lore videos.
Every time I'm doing brickwork, I'm always thinking: " I am fortifying this position". Baldemort my good Sir, you just made my night! Brilliant work! For Dorn, for the Emperor!

The unbreakable wall that keeps the foes of men at bay! Praise be to the Imperial Fists. Arguably my favorite legion, always have been.
Feth sake mate... Games Workshop/Black Library really needs to hire you to narrate an audiobook or more! You truly live in the setting and bring a feeling that few narrators can achieve. Thank you for all your amazing work of giving the fandom proper lore videos with proper drama and a grim voice that truly fits the setting.
Chapter master Valrak is beating his chest
The amount of talent inside this mans big bald head is incredible.
I'm not an imperial fist player but I respect the hell out of them in the lore no matter how bad things get the fists never retreat they are stubborn and stalwart and if the built it good luck yanking it down
I say this in a good way, the level of autism of that captain was through the roof. Truly a good representation of marines, great work baldemort!
Agree, great characterization.
For Terra and for Dorn!
Voice acting 11/10
Writing 11/10
Use of art 11/10
Use of music 11/10
Well worth the wait and keep up the great work.
The Astartes fan animation is what peaked my interest into 40k. You're series on Dorn had me hooked and now I built my own force of the Emperor's Fists.
Baldemort, these simple hard working folk are an inspiration. A touching story still grim and dark but encouraging. Bravo!
I absolutely love that the tts voice actor for Rogal voices of his sons
I used to think I was an ultra Marine fan ..but now....I'm truly an imperial Fist fan from this video! Lovely work and fantastic video! Hope GW never takes anything of yours down.
Nice
yes
Farther?
Yes.
This is true
Father... you have returned!
This video came up in my recommendations and holy shit I am so happy it did. I can’t wait to listen to the rest of your content. This is incredible lore.
" I am immensely satisfied after watching this video." Is an understatement.
Seriously impressive. Having watched it from start to finish, I can see how much work went into creating this awesome story.
Amazing work!
I am fortifying this position
Have some bricks
@Ben Siener BOREALUM!
Best Primarch. Best legion. Best successor chapters. You can’t change my mind.
As a Black Templar, I would never try, brother
This reminds me of your Dorn series about "the longest second" . I binged the whole thing in a single night, and work was rough the next day.
Coming back to this video again, it is a work of art and a masterclass on how to blend existing wisdom, the state of the game, unique narrative, and the voice acting talents of several pillars of our community. Truly beautiful.
Oh my gosh, as a fists player and it being my birthday, thank you for this present baldy.
I think this is one of the most sincere episodes you’ve produced, you my friend have such a unique view concerning this wonderful...{( IP ) hobby,}
...such fun. Thanks my Bud.
.....Keep playin’, Playa’..!!!
The content you provide is some of the best in UA-cam history.
Thank you for enriching our lives with your work and dedication.
Just randomly sent the video to my sister house's smart tv... your intro is awesome... cinema level even... awesome work Bald!
Over an hour of Baldermort? Yes please. This was well worth the wait, and I'm not even done watching yet.
May the Emperor gaze upon your toil and be pleased
I’m not a massive Fists fan, but damn that was awesome!! Obvious how much love and craft went into this! You also tell Valrak’s voice a mile off lol 😂
Fortify positions! The video isn’t even out yet but I’m so happy that this is here
I’ll always be an Ultramarine and Guilliman fan first. But you’ve got to admit, there’s just something special about seeing a wall of yellow artillery and bodies lining the walls of the Imperial palace against a wave of traitors. Like a light holding off the encroaching darkness.
Amazing, the work that goes into these is mind-blowing. The emperor protects and Baldermort narrates!
you dropped this about my favourite legion on my goddamn birthday - unintentional i'm sure but damn well appreciated!
Big fan of Luetin, Wolf Lord Rho & Aborder Prince but you are on another level Baldemort! This & the Rogal Dorn Praetorian of Terra trilogy (closely followed by Szareks Silent King history) are without a doubt for me, the three most engrossing and addictive 40k lore stories I've heard, listened to them all several times and each time I am still astonished by your attention to detail, work ethic and masterfully inspiring renditions.. thank you so much for the huge amount of work you have put in to make them so enjoyable!
Being biased - "Power Armour" forever.
Long time gentle listener and devoted Word Bearer here, instant like for that intro man, great video, keep going! For the glory of Chaos undivided ;)
Salamanders #3 walks into the room: "Hey, what are you two laughing about so much?"
Salamanders #1 wipes the tears from his face and tries to catch his breath after such boisterous laughter: "Sorry Brother, we were just learning about the 'pain glove' and 'simulated fires'!"
Fantastic lore as usual. Love seeing the lighter side of you on Majorkills streams every now and then too. Keep doing the Emperors work my friend
I love ya Baldermort, don't ever stop giving us your imagination. You're a great part of this community.
Thanks brother. Hoping to be as active this year as last, as long as I can last. Lol. .). Happy new year brother Olsson. :)
Mr Baldermort, I'm copying and pasting a comment I made on your third Rogal Dorn video, since it's an older video and you might miss my thanks for the job you have done. You deserve all the praise you are getting and more:
"I just finished your amazing trilogy, what a journey! I loved Rogal Dorn before watching these 3 videos, now I *demand* his return, right now!
I'm new to the hobby and I'm building my first army: Ultramarines. I already know that in the future, *when* Rogal will return, not "if", *when* he'll return, I'll start building an Imperial Fists army and it will be *glorious* !
Thank you Baldemort for these 3 great videos, the Emperor would be proud :) "
For Rogal Dorn!
As always the lore is told with passion worthy of the black library. Never has the 40k universe seemed so alive
I really hope you give all the other chapters and primarchs you've given Dorn and the imperial fists. These have been so engrossing for someone who is interested in 40k lore but doesn't play the game.
Once again baldermort using the son of dorn to fortify his position as best lore channel on UA-cam. Not just 40k but of all lore channels.
I cannot believe I missed this video somehow. This was an astounding video. I hope that when you are able to do a story on your favorite space marine chapter and legion that you can throw yourself into it with just as much vigor as this video. Thank you for your wonderful efforts!!!!!
“Tried and tested taunts and signals”
Hey, it looks like we’ve got some iron losers!
You've taken it to a whole other level with this one. Amazing.
I think I speak for a lot of people, when I say that just hearing your voice washes away my worldly troubles and just leaves serenity.
Holy I never thought I would get into Warhammer but I can now say that your videos alone got me into it
I have been looking forward to this!
LET US FORTIFY THIS POSITION FOR THE EMPEROR!!!
You sir are a blessing amoung us nerds. Ur voice, character, ideals and introspection are top notch. May he on the golden throne forever protect your soul from chaos
"Primarch, Progenitor - To your glory, and the glory of Him on Earth"
Great video ! Honours greatly the first 40k army that I collect.
Sir Baldermort, you have outdone yourself.
I sat immersed in the world of your storytelling and loving the lore of one of my favorite Chapters/Legions in 40K.
A special Shout out to those who helped you with their voices.
Thank you for helping Sir Baldermort tell a truelly epic tale.
Holy Bolter SPAM! I cannot wait for this! I don't know If there's been any hinted video I've been more hyped for than this. BalderLORD, lay unto thou your knowledge of the grandest fisting this galaxy has needed! WOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Hands down your best video so far. Astounding work brother
Dear uncle baldie, about three weeks ago I decided to detox off suboxone and meth when I had broken my foot and had to be off work anyway. You, luetin09 and a border prince got me through the detox but my foot hadn't gotten any better
I'm now clean off the drugs but hospitalized with a staff infection in my foot,.mrsa in my blood, and pneumonia.
I really needed this extra massive video for my extra massive misery.
I don't think I've ever heard of a single long time heavy usage adict just getting clean. It almost, and often does, kills us every time. Every little bit of motivation to keep breathing means at least a little longer life.
You've given me a longer life, Baldie, and I genuinely love you so much I wish I could hug you.
As soon as I'm back to work I'm hitting up patreon so hard.
Neil no, brother. Tough it out. Any way you can. Addiction is a total bast**d. So consider it a war. One you CAN and WILL win. Then have some time getting back into the swing of things. Enjoy yourself outdoors etc. You’ll look back one day soon and be utterly proud of yourself.
You got this brother.
Just just found out the enfection has not gone to my heart. I'M GOING TO LIVE! I literally just finished having the ultrasound on my heart. Baldie, you and the other lore channels literally save lives with the work you do. I have absolutely no desire to go back to that life. Here in out, my addiction is gonna be minis. I've been watching wh40k for years now and I need to put that drug money somewhere else.
I've always wanted to do dioramas
Neil dioramas are just amazing.
But we didn’t save your life. You did. Balls of STEEL brother. You’ve Balls of steel!
So be good to yourself and bony Every second you can.
I’m elated you came back to update us here on the guides. Thank you! Best news in weeks. :)
Hope you're back up on your feet trooper. These videos really are a source of joy and a bit of a welcome distraction!
Only started watching you recently but you are already my top lore channel, followed by border prince, keep up the great work.
Excellent work, well done, bravo...everyone who helped put this together, thank you so much
Have to come back to this. 9 months later and this is still the best 40k content available. Thank you Baldermort.
An obviously amazing video. I am continually impressed by your growth as a creator, AV editing and transitions just keep getting better. Massive thanks to you, and a bigger thanks to Mrs. B for letting us into your life.
Every single video you put out just get better and better, keep up the brilliant work, brother
This is nothing less than a master stroke from someone who's truly passionate about their job.
The fact that it is for my favorite Legion makes it all the sweeter.
Will each of the legions get their own video like this?
Mr. Baldermort I thoroughly enjoyed the story and commend you on an excellent production. I havent played the tabletop but I do ply the videogame version. It is refreshing to hear about the history of the units I am playing. Much thanks to you and your staff. May the Emperor watch over you
This is why I like your content. A good story with lore. GREAT JOB!
I’ve listened to this so many times while assembling my imperial fists god your voice is so soothing
This has made my first lonely day back in the office after working at home for months a positive joy.
Incredible video, brilliant guest voice actors, fantastic story, and one of the most comprehensive lore explorations I've ever watched.
I'd say you just proved yourself to be one of the undisputed top tier 40K streamers on UA-cam Baldy, and I thank you for being such a true hammer legend.
I was sent this by a friend. And I was not disappointed. This is top quality 👌
IM GONNA SMASH THE LIKE BUTTON SO HARD EVEN DORNS FORTIFICATION WONT PROTECT IT!
@Legion of the damned you underestimate my pow....ah legion of the dammed...carry on nothing to see here.
Careful, brother... Your words stray perilously close to HERESY!
Lol
i really enjoy this structure. Very compelling.
You bring your stories alive, by the way; and in doing so, have one of my all time favorite Warhammer channels, if not my favorite one.
I would love to see more of this style in the future!
