Vashtorr is a such a welcome addition to the lore. He's got a great design,interesting lore and motives not to mention a sweet as hell model. I really hope he doesn't get pushed to the wayside in 10th despite the presumed ass kicking coming his way from The Lion,Azrael or Dante and manages to stay relevent in the setting
Vashtorr also pushes the fan theory that 3 Chaos gods nucleases along with many entities like Vashtorr. Were created in the Warp the moment the Necrontyr race died in the bio-forges. Since beings like the 3 Chaos gods and Vashtorr are embodiments of Necrontyr. But he also shows there is more than 4 current Chaos gods, like old lore suggested. Plus, though I am fan of him, Vashtorr isn't Malice the renegade Chaos god. Which means he doesn't have all his baggage and can be new character with new stories attached to him.
I’d write him to get his way at great cost. A demonic cyber god seems much too epic to pass up, while potentially becoming the god for the dark mechanicum.
@@__Al_Ex__ My thought dood, a Dark Heretek Omnissiah. A true machine God.. The Dark Mechanicum and the Iron Warriors will be pretty "enthusiastic" for him I'd have thought.. The Obliterators certainly - MORE ARM GUNZ!!! 💪 (Reminds me of that awful Sean Connery movie Zardoz, a big flying "God Head" that vomits rifles and guns at his worshippers 😂)
I like how Vashtorr is able to speak to computer a.i. If Vashtorr really wants to f*ck things up he'll start recruiting from the servitors, because they're not going to need to be asked twice go on a bloody revenge-fueled rampage.
Part of me really wants Vashtorr to succeed, or at least ascend to a minor yet significant god. Imagine the revival that it could give to the Dark Mechanicum. Since the Heresey they've been largely relegated to support characters, but if Vashtorr succeeds they could be brought to the forefront. Vashtorr is, to the average mortal at least, a literal god of machines. He could easily masquerade as the actual Machine God/Omnissiah and lead a schism in the Mechanicus. Vashtorr himself would also be a fresh take on chaos. He's by no means, in any way, a """good guy,""" but he's far more of an individual character than the other gods, who are often portrayed more as partially lucid forces of nature rather than individual characters. Of course this is just me spitballing ideas I think are cool, I'm sure GW has their own plan for how all this goes down. All I can say is that I'm hyped for whatever they do next!
I only know about him via these videos, but Vashtorr doesn't really fit with the rest of the chaos pantheon. The others are all emotion/thought manifested and are universal in scope (at least as far as sentience is concerned), but V comes from what exactly? That said, Nurgle is also a bit of a misfit too - not really emotion-based. Maybe I misunderstand the chaos gods' beginnings and power sources.
@@ricksanchez3204 ok, that works I guess. I've not come across Nurgle in the lore yet really, so despair as his feed source is new for me. Always read that he was about the inevitability of death and rot when it comes to organic life.
@@ricksanchez3204 I'd say Nurgle basically represents entropy. I mean, Nurgle is the embodiment of the inevitable decay of everything, not just the organic. To join in worship of Nurgle is to accept and become one with entropy; to know you'll die and to be at peace with it, to know that you will decay and welcome it, to know all you build will crumble and so you just build for the fun of watching it all fall apart, to laugh at how everything is fleeting on a large enough scale, and accept your place as just another means for entropy to spread. Once you embrace Nurgle, you have become one with entropy. You want everyone to be a part of this joyous, inevitable part of existence and for them to stop their pointless struggle so they too can know the joy in entropy. Hence why Nurgle worshipers tend to laugh a lot, even as they are horribly mutated, rotting, and falling apart, as that is just more entropy to rejoice over. 🤔
Vashtorr's like that guy smoking a cigar sitting behind an auto-repair desk. The chaos gods come in as customers: Khorne: "...aaaaand that'll be 194,000,000,000 souls please Nurgle: "Take about 50 steps away from me and gtfo of my store, we'll do it over the phone" Tzeentch: "YOU TRYIN TO FUCK ME BOY?!" Slaanesh: _Takes goggles off_ "Does ol' Vashtorr have to choke a bitch?"
We've been telling him that for years. He's said he doesn't think he's got the confidence, or determination for Narration/ Voice Acting as a carrier. I suppose he'd knows himself better than any of us.
@Baldermort's Guide to Warhammer Brother, where is the kick starter? I took a break from the social media and what not. Came back to find dozens of hours of content. Thank you.
Oh Baldi, thank you so much for covering this. The 1st legion and it’s lore are very close to my heart. Even Luther, who would have been the King Arthur of his day had not the Lion landed by chance on Caliban and outshone him in every aspect of knighthood, except human empathy. Superb primer on the nature of the Dark Angels sir, I salute you.
@@Baldermort How many would skip over the poem in the book? How many do you think skipped it when you spoke it? Hint: your delivery enrapts an audience.
When I first heard about vastor I was really sceptical about something trying to become a new chaos god, but then after reading into where he gets his power from (which was my biggest question because every God is linked to some kind of power that mortal beings just sorta commit without knowing it) I was super stoked on him and I can't wait to see where he goes! He gains strength from people who use their crafts for ill that were meant for good it's so juicy. The farmer who digs trenches for war, the botanist who turns their knowledge of plants and animals into deadly toxins and weapons of war. I love it ❤
I really hope vashtor does succeed and we get to see his demons at large in the game. Like data djinn or gremlin imps, likely all with great anti tank but weaker against infantry or monsters, and working well with daemon engines. I also hope we get something to represent this sort of small infiltration team of the alpha legion, hopefully including their sleeper agents.
@jasoninthehood9726 if we are lucky. Ideally, itd be nice if a killteam could be utilized as a multibuild kit. Plain build as battleline, with special gear as elite, then with extra special gear to make a couple characters, etc. We can dream :(
G-man has brought the emporium into order, coalescing its forces. Now, in the face of horrors at a scale unseen for millennium, the greatest military mind and perhaps most accomplished dullest of any primarch has returned to wield the might of mankind against its enemies
The holy servo skull has returned to grace us with another grand tale of the Warhammer 40k universe. May the Emperor's and Omnissiah's blessings keep your mechanisms fully functioning to spread the glory of His empire! Ave Imperator!
This is gonna be awesome you’ve been killing with the Arks of Omen books brother B. I feel a bit bad that I’m not always dropping comments but I want to say you’ve been doing amazing work here and on the other two channels. Keep it up Brother and I can’t wait to see what you have to say about The lion coming back the hype is real!
I'm 64 hours into an 80 hour work week and this video couldn't have come at a better time, I was crashing hard. Always love your content, very much appreciated!
Oh, hey I was wondering if you were gonna cover this. I like a bunch of different 40k lore UA-camrs, but you're the only one who actually sounds grim-dark and it's very thematically appropriate. Thank you for the content!
One minute in! Well, not surprising, considering it's a Baldermort entry to the lore! Of course I'm going to nicely command my astropathic choir to tune in to this Interstellar Vox communication video file! FOR THE EMPEROR!
Can't wait to see what this key is! Whatever it does, it will probably have something to do with the Tyranid invasion that will be the focus of the tenth edition. But this only raises further questions.
I like seeing more mechanicus oriented daemons. The way those cog boys feverishly revere random bits of junk really ought to have a pretty big reflection in the warp.
Great video. I have been unable to get a copy of this book for myself as jet, and I trust none so much as You with providing an accurate and entertaining summary! Thanks 😊
The dark angels are besieged. Vashtorr and his forces are met with stiff and heroic resistance by the sons of the lion but they are advancing. Even the mighty (neo primaris marine) azrael altough fighting with skill doesn't seem to be able to stop this demigod. The dark angels are literally cornered and chaos is about to strike another terrible blow at his imperium. And then fu... belakor come from nowhere and ruins EVERYTHING because ''5th chaos god my ass'' basically
@@theconclave5430 I kinda want ol' Vash to succeed just for the sheer amount of malding we'd get from Be'lakor in return. Nothing would be more humiliating to him
So one of my absolute favorite parts of the 10th edition announcement is that the 4th Tyrannic War will commence shortly, which means there's gonna be a whole butt load of Tyranid videos on this channel later this year, and I cannot wait to throw money at you for each one of them!
Perfect use of the character like how he keeps his promises, when he makes his deals especially with an AI. Since he is an embodiment of technology itself thus he is capable of talking to machines. Like how he has no scruples about working with AI as well as demons.
Baldermort This one gave me shivers. The passion with which you've gone over the information and the reviewing of Lion'el Johnson and The Rock is amazing.
Baldermort talking Dark Angels… best of everything. Can’t wait for a performance when the Arks of Omen the Lion drops 🍻🔥. What ever Balder concocts is gonna be epic❤
As a fan of the Dark Angels since circa 1989 and a fan of the new Vashtorr mech-daemon, I thoroughly enjoyed this atmospheric reading of the Arks of Omen from Baldermort. Thought I would build a Canoptek Spider this evening while this was on but I ended up just listening instead, as such dire events required my full attention.
I agree with much of the enthusiasm here in the comments about both this entry, and the entry of Vashtorr to the lore more generally, and don't feel like there's much to add to any of that. Nonetheless, I feel my excitement and enjoyment of this should be commemorated with a comment for the recommendation gods, and engagement for the algorithmic throne! Thanks for this fabulous entry, I've been waiting eagerly to hear it!
Awesome job... Music is great and not too loud. Voice and story telling is just superb. I had a great time diving deep into the lore. Congratulations for this and i'll keep close eyes and ears around your channel. Keep it up !!!
Sir Bald you are my Warhammer teacher nay a professor of the lore and setting. And it's your knowledge I draw upon when I seek enlightenment into the mysteries of the 41st millennium. And your other channels are good too.
So I woke up feeling the Cold winds of Nostalgia whispering sweet nothings And SINGING THE SONG OF THE LONG LONG AGO OF THE EARLY 2000's..... I FELT THE PULLING OF THE SHAMAN NABOO'S POWERS REACHING ACROSS THE TIME STREAM...TELLING ME TO DEFINITELY WATCH UNCLE BALDERMORT's MOST RECENT DATA SLATE W/VOX TRANSMISSION , BUT ALSO TO REMEMBER THAT BBC THREE HAD A SHOW OF SUCH UNIQUENESS, JAZZ/FUSION, SHAMANIC FRIPPERY,.COCKNEY NONSENSE, PERFECT STYLE AND HAIR,AN EVIL CRACK-FOX, HEROIC BIN MEN, MANGINAS,EVIL ZOO OWNERS, THE MOON , DEMON GRANDMAs , CARLOS SANTANA, AND THE CRIMP OFF OF THE CENTURY. UPON MY WAKING, THE WHISPERS OF THE IMMATERIUM SPOKE A MESSAGE TO MY YOUNGER SELF....IT SAID... "THE MIGHTY BOOSH"....WELL 4 HOURS LATER I HAVE BINGE WATCHED EVERY EPISODE, BEING REMINDED OF HALYCON DAYS GONE BY....AND THE ABSOLUTE FUCKING TREASURE THIS SHOW IS!! AND HOW GOD DAMN FUNNY IT WAS AS WELL!! But now I'm a man and so I put away childish things...In other words, I will listen to Lord BALDERMORT read about VASHTOR THE ARKIFANE. And then as soon as THATS over, I'm going to watch The Mighty Boosh live from Brixton!! (A 2.5 HOUR LONG TRANSLATION OF THE GENIUS OF VINCE NOIR, AND THE ECCENTRICITIES OF HOWARD MOON), FROM THE TINY BOX OF MOVING TALKING COLOR PICTURES , THEN CROSSING THE RUBICON AND BECOMING A LIVE TOUR DE FORCE OF COMEDY, TRADGEDY, AND HALLUCINATIONS USUALLY RESERVED FOR THE ANNUAL SHAMAN STAG WEEKEND. Anyone reading this who has no idea of what I'm talking about and thinks that the whole paragraph Was a fever dream, I suggest you look up The Mighty Boosh, and get yourself experienced. While you're at it look up Red Dwarf, and Biggles adventures in time. Then watch the original BBC production of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. You will not be sorry trust me LOL! However only do this after you have listened to the most recent arcs of omen from Uncle so go do that and then go have yourself a BBC weekend reminiscent of the 90s and earlier and my God prepare yourself for a ride my friends have a great weekend!
I hope fabulous Bill is up next for god/demonhood. It would be a wild genetwist for him to unlock tyranid upgrades. Imagine the grandfather's joy if Bill could make demonnids.
I'm at basic training but I'm so pumped to listen to this when I get more then 30 min on phone but hell yeah keep up the good work I love all the stuff you do
Baldermort, I know you are psyched. You made a video on The Lion once before about what a force he was and his military insight and prowess. This Vashtorr chap may be a new favorite of mine. He's amazing, and he wants to be a god? I guess a good Villain can never have enough power.
Vashtorr is uniquely capable and fear inducing as far as daemons go. It makes good plans and follows basic logic which on it's own puts them head and hammer above most of their contemporaries. The forces of reality are fortunate most of their time is spent in the warp.
Laid up on the couch and Brother Balders drops a video to entertain, kudos good Sir kudos. Interested to see how this all pans out, just been a lore/Black Library consumer but Tenth Edition is sounding very tempting to finally get into the plastic crack
Ah I finally have time to binge your Arks of Omen videos. This is a very interesting narrative with some very fun characters, and I love that GW is moving the setting forward in a way I personally am very excited to see progress. Thank you Brother Baldermort as always for your stellar work.
The Lion has returned because of this foul Daemon believe it could take from the Rock and threaten his sons with destruction and death, but this foul monster did not realize that he woken the monster slayer, Lion el Jonson.
Brilliant work done with bringing the Arkifane onto the stage. I do look forward to seeing what havoc and deliciously malevolent machinations he wreaks upon the galaxy. Thanks again, Baldermort. It is a delight to contribute my pennies to your patreon.
I'm grateful for every mention of my Iron Warriors and their badass Primarch. We've got virtually nothing in the model range, but I'm glad we're in the driving narrative. Anything is possible in 10th edition, I guess, and it's encouraging to know we haven't been totally forgotten in the Era Indomitus. Perturabo is in a weird spot where he's absent in the game but totally present in the near background. He'd make a great model, I don't know what they're waiting for. Maybe the return of Rogal Dorn, that sounds like GW. 🤨
I hope there is some more connections with Vashtorr and Perturabo + sons later down the line. If Vashtorr can achieve godhood I could see the Iron Warrios and Perturabo allying with him.
I knew chaos was able to influence technology, but having a being that can do so by nature, is unsettling. Being able to talk directly with AI that was hiding in plain sight is quite scary.

Even Luther, who would have been the King Arthur of his day had not the Lion landed by chance on Caliban and outshone him in every aspect of knighthood, except human empathy. Superb primer on the nature of the Dark Angels sir, I salute you.
FUCKIN A! well said.
That poem at the outset set the tone perfectly, claps all around Baldemort.
Oh that all GW. AoOmens is largely quoted. Like when I did PAwakening. Not entirely. But largely.
@@Baldermort How many would skip over the poem in the book? How many do you think skipped it when you spoke it? Hint: your delivery enrapts an audience.
When I first heard about vastor I was really sceptical about something trying to become a new chaos god, but then after reading into where he gets his power from (which was my biggest question because every God is linked to some kind of power that mortal beings just sorta commit without knowing it) I was super stoked on him and I can't wait to see where he goes! He gains strength from people who use their crafts for ill that were meant for good it's so juicy. The farmer who digs trenches for war, the botanist who turns their knowledge of plants and animals into deadly toxins and weapons of war. I love it ❤
Like the Nazi scientists and doctors who studied how to kill people rather than how to save them. The Nuremberg Trials coined the term “THANATOLOGY”
Vashtorr before Adeptcon: We shall annihilate the Dark angels
Vashtorr after Adeptcon: Well...shit
The lion return is a very messy problem for abaddon but other primarchs like fulgrim,lorgar and perturabo are yet to fully enter in the fight.
D to the OH..
I really hope vashtor does succeed and we get to see his demons at large in the game. Like data djinn or gremlin imps, likely all with great anti tank but weaker against infantry or monsters, and working well with daemon engines. I also hope we get something to represent this sort of small infiltration team of the alpha legion, hopefully including their sleeper agents.
He will get one Kill Team release and a separate demon engine release. Enjoy!
@jasoninthehood9726 if we are lucky. Ideally, itd be nice if a killteam could be utilized as a multibuild kit. Plain build as battleline, with special gear as elite, then with extra special gear to make a couple characters, etc. We can dream :(
The Vashtorr genius/mastermind behind the Arks of Omen.
G-man has brought the emporium into order, coalescing its forces. Now, in the face of horrors at a scale unseen for millennium, the greatest military mind and perhaps most accomplished dullest of any primarch has returned to wield the might of mankind against its enemies
The holy servo skull has returned to grace us with another grand tale of the Warhammer 40k universe. May the Emperor's and Omnissiah's blessings keep your mechanisms fully functioning to spread the glory of His empire! Ave Imperator!
This is gonna be awesome you’ve been killing with the Arks of Omen books brother B. I feel a bit bad that I’m not always dropping comments but I want to say you’ve been doing amazing work here and on the other two channels. Keep it up Brother and I can’t wait to see what you have to say about The lion coming back the hype is real!
It’s only here for when you are bored brother. :)
Brother Baldermort congratulations! A wonderful piece of storytelling and lore. Bravo BB, Bravo indeed!
Damn Baldermort your voice is dope with the background music etc. Im glad i came to your channel late so i can enjoy all these lore videos.
I'm 64 hours into an 80 hour work week and this video couldn't have come at a better time, I was crashing hard. Always love your content, very much appreciated!
I'll say a quick prayer for your back
@@Adam-vj7dn I've been doing this for three years, it's much appreciated but I'm already screwed. Most weeks are 65-75 but it's always too much
Can't wait for the next one! Thank you for making these.
Another video to herald my weekend and I could not be happier about it
I have been dying for you to cover Vashtorr!
I am so thankful you want to share ure talent with the rest of us - Such a gift! Thank you for giving this world life and soul.
I love the telling of the first lines, it resembles alot of Tolkien's work.
Wonderful! Wonderful Job again oh great Servobard!
Oh, hey I was wondering if you were gonna cover this. I like a bunch of different 40k lore UA-camrs, but you're the only one who actually sounds grim-dark and it's very thematically appropriate. Thank you for the content!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
He’s the strongest classical Wh40k channel. He does it so well that he doesn’t need any bells and whistles.
One minute in! Well, not surprising, considering it's a Baldermort entry to the lore! Of course I'm going to nicely command my astropathic choir to tune in to this Interstellar Vox communication video file!
FOR THE EMPEROR!
Can't wait to see what this key is! Whatever it does, it will probably have something to do with the Tyranid invasion that will be the focus of the tenth edition. But this only raises further questions.
Thank you for the wonderful narration brother. Good tidings to you and family.
I like seeing more mechanicus oriented daemons. The way those cog boys feverishly revere random bits of junk really ought to have a pretty big reflection in the warp.
Another great video, you've really brought vashtor to sinister life. Can't wait to your next one.
Great video. I have been unable to get a copy of this book for myself as jet, and I trust none so much as You with providing an accurate and entertaining summary! Thanks 😊
The dark angels are besieged. Vashtorr and his forces are met with stiff and heroic resistance by the sons of the lion but they are advancing. Even the mighty (neo primaris marine) azrael altough fighting with skill doesn't seem to be able to stop this demigod. The dark angels are literally cornered and chaos is about to strike another terrible blow at his imperium. And then fu... belakor come from nowhere and ruins EVERYTHING because ''5th chaos god my ass'' basically
"IF I CAN'T BECOME A GOD THEN NO ONE CAN!"
I kind of like that they are expanding the great game in 40k with these "demigods", wonder if we will ever be able to play Vashtorr in Age of Sigmar?
Being a huge dick is kinda belakor calling card.
@@nineballmk2 I agree that is probably his thought process.
@@theconclave5430 I kinda want ol' Vash to succeed just for the sheer amount of malding we'd get from Be'lakor in return. Nothing would be more humiliating to him
So one of my absolute favorite parts of the 10th edition announcement is that the 4th Tyrannic War will commence shortly, which means there's gonna be a whole butt load of Tyranid videos on this channel later this year, and I cannot wait to throw money at you for each one of them!
Perfect use of the character like how he keeps his promises, when he makes his deals especially with an AI.
Since he is an embodiment of technology itself thus he is capable of talking to machines.
Like how he has no scruples about working with AI as well as demons.
Yes! A wonderfully told story to help me with my honey-do list.
I am in awe at such great content. I swear that at times it seems like you and GW plot to deliver these marvels! Thanks for your hard work!
Thanks brother Cortes. :)
Thrilled to see you putting in work! Emperor Bless you, Brother Chaplain
Can't wait to get off work to consume this properly thanks Baldy!!!
Don’t know what I’d do without your stories. Takes me away for a few mins a day. Just love it. Keep up the awesome work.
Thanks again, Balderboss. Without you and that magnificent voice, I wouldn't know where to turn for new lore.
A figure lay "prostate". I know it was a simple verbal typo, but it amuses me to no end. It's like bonus content.
Everybody gather 'round the chemical fire barrel, it's time for a story with faithful Remembrancer Baldermort 🔥
Your videos are my main intake for 40k content. They are also amazing sleep aids truly has improved my sleep routine astronomically!!
Baldermort This one gave me shivers. The passion with which you've gone over the information and the reviewing of Lion'el Johnson and The Rock is amazing.
I have been looking for this channel for 31 years.
Thank you brother Baldermort.
I hope you're a perpetual.
I'm excited! Looking so forward to this! Thanks Brother B!
I've been waiting on this one Lord Baldermort. Thank you for your insight my lord.🧐
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I can't tell if I love this video for it's content or if it's baldermorts voice that I often use for helping me to sleep...
An oncoming new Chaos god to join the ruinous power's pantheon.
Baldermort talking Dark Angels… best of everything. Can’t wait for a performance when the Arks of Omen the Lion drops 🍻🔥. What ever Balder concocts is gonna be epic❤
Man, you know I'm coming back for more tasty Ark lore from the man, the myth, the legend... Baldermort!
Thank you , BM .
🐺
I can't wait for you to weave the lore into tales. Tales that any pre-writing society would be proud of
As a fan of the Dark Angels since circa 1989 and a fan of the new Vashtorr mech-daemon, I thoroughly enjoyed this atmospheric reading of the Arks of Omen from Baldermort. Thought I would build a Canoptek Spider this evening while this was on but I ended up just listening instead, as such dire events required my full attention.
I agree with much of the enthusiasm here in the comments about both this entry, and the entry of Vashtorr to the lore more generally, and don't feel like there's much to add to any of that. Nonetheless, I feel my excitement and enjoyment of this should be commemorated with a comment for the recommendation gods, and engagement for the algorithmic throne! Thanks for this fabulous entry, I've been waiting eagerly to hear it!
Awesome job...
Music is great and not too loud.
Voice and story telling is just superb. I had a great time diving deep into the lore.
Congratulations for this and i'll keep close eyes and ears around your channel.
Keep it up !!!
Sir Bald you are my Warhammer teacher nay a professor of the lore and setting. And it's your knowledge I draw upon when I seek enlightenment into the mysteries of the 41st millennium. And your other channels are good too.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Ave Imperator!!! Gloria in Excelcius Terra!
For the Emperor!
For the Lion!
You are the true master of story telling, hands down my favorite channel bar none, Rock on mate 👍👍👍👍
So I woke up feeling the Cold winds of Nostalgia whispering sweet nothings And SINGING THE SONG OF THE LONG LONG AGO OF THE EARLY 2000's.....
I FELT THE PULLING OF THE SHAMAN NABOO'S POWERS REACHING ACROSS THE
TIME STREAM...TELLING ME TO DEFINITELY WATCH UNCLE BALDERMORT's MOST RECENT DATA SLATE
W/VOX TRANSMISSION ,
BUT ALSO TO REMEMBER THAT BBC THREE HAD A SHOW OF SUCH UNIQUENESS, JAZZ/FUSION, SHAMANIC FRIPPERY,.COCKNEY NONSENSE,
PERFECT STYLE AND HAIR,AN EVIL CRACK-FOX, HEROIC BIN MEN, MANGINAS,EVIL ZOO OWNERS, THE MOON , DEMON GRANDMAs , CARLOS SANTANA, AND
THE CRIMP OFF OF THE CENTURY.
UPON MY WAKING, THE WHISPERS OF THE IMMATERIUM SPOKE A MESSAGE TO MY YOUNGER SELF....IT SAID...
"THE MIGHTY BOOSH"....WELL 4 HOURS LATER I HAVE BINGE WATCHED EVERY EPISODE, BEING REMINDED OF HALYCON DAYS GONE BY....AND THE ABSOLUTE FUCKING TREASURE
THIS SHOW IS!! AND HOW GOD DAMN FUNNY IT WAS AS WELL!!
But now I'm a man and so I put away childish things...In other words, I will listen to Lord BALDERMORT read about VASHTOR THE ARKIFANE. And then as soon as THATS over,
I'm going to watch The Mighty Boosh live from Brixton!! (A 2.5 HOUR LONG TRANSLATION OF THE GENIUS OF VINCE NOIR,
AND THE ECCENTRICITIES OF HOWARD MOON), FROM THE TINY BOX OF MOVING TALKING COLOR PICTURES , THEN CROSSING THE RUBICON AND BECOMING A LIVE TOUR DE FORCE OF COMEDY, TRADGEDY,
AND HALLUCINATIONS USUALLY RESERVED FOR THE ANNUAL SHAMAN STAG WEEKEND.
Anyone reading this who has no idea of what I'm talking about and thinks that the whole paragraph Was a fever dream, I suggest you look up The Mighty Boosh, and get yourself experienced. While you're at it look up Red Dwarf, and Biggles adventures in time. Then watch the original BBC production of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. You will not be sorry trust me LOL! However only do this after you have listened to the most recent arcs of omen from Uncle so go do that and then go have yourself a BBC weekend reminiscent of the 90s and earlier and my God prepare yourself for a ride my friends have a great weekend!
Im always stoked to see another Baldermort upload. Love the content!
I hope fabulous Bill is up next for god/demonhood. It would be a wild genetwist for him to unlock tyranid upgrades. Imagine the grandfather's joy if Bill could make demonnids.
Thank you for including Harliquins in your coverage
Loved every second of this. Itching for the next chapter to unfold and voiced by your talent. Thank you!!!
I'm at basic training but I'm so pumped to listen to this when I get more then 30 min on phone but hell yeah keep up the good work I love all the stuff you do
Once again. Baldermort has presented to me another entertaining video. I shall watch/listen this while i exercise or while i am feasting. 😋
I literally just finished the 1st 2 this morning and you drop this!!!perfect timing 😂
This is amazing! Thank you for making the video. We do appreciate it.
Baldermort, I know you are psyched. You made a video on The Lion once before about what a force he was and his military insight and prowess. This Vashtorr chap may be a new favorite of mine. He's amazing, and he wants to be a god? I guess a good Villain can never have enough power.
Oooh! New video! Niiiice. Thanks brother Baldermort.
Vashtorr is uniquely capable and fear inducing as far as daemons go.
It makes good plans and follows basic logic which on it's own puts them head and hammer above most of their contemporaries.
The forces of reality are fortunate most of their time is spent in the warp.
YES! Thank you!!!
hell yeah ... i cant wait what he has instore for us on the tabletop
Thank you so much for this! Absolutely wonderful as always sir!
Laid up on the couch and Brother Balders drops a video to entertain, kudos good Sir kudos. Interested to see how this all pans out, just been a lore/Black Library consumer but Tenth Edition is sounding very tempting to finally get into the plastic crack
Ah I finally have time to binge your Arks of Omen videos. This is a very interesting narrative with some very fun characters, and I love that GW is moving the setting forward in a way I personally am very excited to see progress. Thank you Brother Baldermort as always for your stellar work.
I love this. Bring on the grim dark. Me and my night lords will crush all
Holy hell. The assault on The Rock was gripping 🪽🗡️🪽 Masterclass.
AWESOME. Great writing Baldy you have the gift.
Praise be to the mighty Algorithm 🙏 may it bless this wondrous channel
Praise be the algorithm
Top notch! Always a great listening experience.
I will never understand how this channel isn't ten times more followed.
I like how Voshtorr is a actual character with personality. He's a real go getter.
The Lion has returned because of this foul Daemon believe it could take from the Rock and threaten his sons with destruction and death, but this foul monster did not realize that he woken the monster slayer, Lion el Jonson.
Brilliant work done with bringing the Arkifane onto the stage. I do look forward to seeing what havoc and deliciously malevolent machinations he wreaks upon the galaxy.
Thanks again, Baldermort. It is a delight to contribute my pennies to your patreon.
I'm grateful for every mention of my Iron Warriors and their badass Primarch. We've got virtually nothing in the model range, but I'm glad we're in the driving narrative. Anything is possible in 10th edition, I guess, and it's encouraging to know we haven't been totally forgotten in the Era Indomitus. Perturabo is in a weird spot where he's absent in the game but totally present in the near background. He'd make a great model, I don't know what they're waiting for. Maybe the return of Rogal Dorn, that sounds like GW. 🤨
Great video extremely well done
I hope there is some more connections with Vashtorr and Perturabo + sons later down the line. If Vashtorr can achieve godhood I could see the Iron Warrios and Perturabo allying with him.
Vashtorr reminds me so much of tek. God of the technology of War. Anybody else read it?
YAAAAAAAASSS OMG this is what I've been waiting for since this character showed up!
Loving It... TY
The Lion wakes from his nap...and he's pissed!
Damn I love when lore masters spin their tales
Such a fantastic narration. Thank you!
Glorious, Baldermort.
This was such a great listen, please keep up all the amazing work :)
Thank you Baldes, for finishing my friday night off with ... some.... fun
I'm done watching the whole thing twice now, Thank You
Great job!!! Amazing video and narrative. Love your work.
I knew chaos was able to influence technology, but having a being that can do so by nature, is unsettling.
Being able to talk directly with AI that was hiding in plain sight is quite scary.
