@@_Arevan I go back to some stories just to hear 1 snippet of "The Flies!" Or that neck break sound of the Dark angel breaking the Inquisitors neck. Or recently the Tank crew spitting at the greater good. He really does lean into the roles.

Speaking as an audio engineer who used to record audiobooks for a living, (including several 40K novels years ago before I got into it myself) this is just awesome. You're better at this than most of the professional narrators I worked with, not taking anything away from them. Good luck with your back.
@@AzrealMaximus I honestly don't even remember which ones they were. I actually recorded for the library of Congress which has a program that provides audiobooks to the blind and physically disabled. I can't recall the name of the program but they were books that would've been new between 2010 and 2015 as I worked there in 2014-16 and they usually only went back about five years at most.
@RAD1111able I worked for the library of congress in the U.S. I did multiple sci fi and fantasy series per day, basically every day for two years. I honestly don't remember which books they were because I wasn't into it back then. But this was in 2014-2016 and they were apparently new books at the time, if that narrows it down any, lol.

When he said "loyalty is its own reward" was a call back to when he whispered it into Curzes ear with the lion sword buried in his belly. From the audio book Savage Weapons. Love it

BALDERMORT!When i stumbles across this channel, i thought it was luck, now i know it was the emperor who guided me here. Love the content, thank you again for another amazing video! For The Lion, For Emperor, FOR BALDERMORT !!
I actually think The Lion's return was handeled way better than Guilliman's. I love how The Lion is actually getting character development and has seemingly learned from several mistakes he made during The Heresy
More like the same. Both captured. Both fought a brother. Both upset at the imperium. Both dealing with all brothers gone. Both appearing in dark situations. Both realizing things they did before may have been wrong. Where exactly is the difference?
i kind of want to agree with you, but I think the shitshow of Guilliman's return was less related to his own lore, but more related to how GW decided to handle the timeline of the indomitus crusade and the gathering storm novels themselves when it came to Eldar lore.
@@maxim30 Id say just from a Character development perspective The Lion was pretty 2 dimensional.beforr...a cocky prock who thinks he is amazing and better than everyone. Now he inderstands his failures, the things he got wrong, hes gotten his MASSIVE ego into control and has become kinder/More understanding
As a former Paratrooper who broke his back I am very sorry you are going through the pain I hope you can find some relief. I use heating pads for sleep and I occasionally get into super hot bath water for a while. I hope these help.
You 🐱 jump again, rub some dirt in your spine and drink water, take some ibuprofen. Jk i know the gawd damn feel brother. 55 jumps later not only do i have a sudden fear of heights but my knees and back are fkd. Had a jump without main chute deployment too, pulled reserve it wrapped around me. Luckily my main decided to catch air 100ft before the ground but i broke my optic off my rifle, broke my mbitr in half and 117f didn’t work.

I do rib it in his face that my daddy is back everytime i pull out my lion mini lol.

Your eloquent delivery harkens back to a swiftly dying age of excellence in fiction. Your work is truly a blessing an escape in a world that seeks to unmake itself. Thank you.
@@Baldermort This video carried me through my first ever half marathon. It distraced my mind from the voice which constantly told me: "Just stop, your joints are in pain and you´ll get a sunburn, there is no point in running any further". Probably some chaos trickery that tried to sneak into my head. Blessed is the mind that is too busy for doubt 😁 Thank you so much for this and all the other videos brother Baldermort. The emperor protects!!!
By Sanguinius it’s good to see you Baldermort! You are the single most important influence on me getting into 40K. Your video on the formation of Astartes chapters with the Blood Spear and the old general was the influence to make my own Blood Angel successor chapter. I can’t thank you enough for all your hard work and passion. May the Great Angel guide you
Half my night shift will be spent listening. From tiresome waking hours it suddenly became amazing storytime. Thanks Baldemort!! Only half hour in and im already amazed.
What I think I really like about the Arks of Omen story is that, in terms of it's narrative construction, Vashtorr was the protagonist. They drop a new character for the faction known by the fanbase to have problems with winning, gave him a whole introductory story with ups and downs for him, and let him win. A fantastic introduction for a new villian.
3 hours?? Damn, I have to go to a graduation today and I have work tomorrow and sunday but I promise I'll come back and listen to this sometime this weekend....gonna get so much painting done when I listen to this. It sucks to read that your back isnt getting better though, get well soon Balders!
I am so excited for this!! I have been avoiding everyone else's impressions and readings from the Lion's return because I just knew you would do it the most justice! Thank you Baldermort!
Gonna go with the other brothers here. Jee Dubz is a soulless corporate shill for Whizzers on the Coast and HazBro', all of whom do not like it when anyone with actual talent tries to tell them, teach them, or otherwise dictate to them what **THEIR HOLY OPINION** should comprise concerning quality work. As such, they won't hire capable, qualified people who have a mind of their own. They'd rather hire one or two hotshot die-hards and stack their cash/business model so they can make more profit for less negotiation.
I'm only on the first 25 minutes and its already some of the best storytelling I have EVER heard. I mean, I have never heard anyone so good at these forms of narrative, or any form of narrative for that manner. And I have heard thousands of hours of oratory. You are genuinely the best orator and writer I have ever encountered in my nearly 15,000 hours of listening to audiobooks of both fiction and non-fiction (primarily), podcasts, documentaries, etc., you exceed all of them in quality of narration and tie the best of them (the best of which were all non-fiction, excluding you now) for quality of content. This was amazing after a long night of drinking and partying on Saturday, and now while I'm making jewelry on Monday, this is the quintessence of brilliance. Thank you.
ABSOLUTE LEGEND MAN!!!!! Thx Balders Listing to the fallen talk to el Johnson I’ve come to a realization both the fallen and the unforgiven were two sides of the same coin split apart for 10 thousand years both factions had their secrets but a inner circle high command that knew the truth of what happened on Caliban with ordinary marines unaware of the truth. Most fallen dark angles are in fact loyal to the emperor believing it was the lion that betrayed them but now that their father has returns to set things strait the two sides of the story are finally peace’s back together like a tapestry most fallen can be redeemed while those marines the inner circle around Luther are the ones that fell to chaos the true fallen that can never be fully redeemed.
As someone who simply doesn't have the time to read hard copy books, I appreciate this immensely. As an Audiobook lover who is also a warhammer fanatic, I appreciate this truly kingly gift beyond words. Where is your patreon?
@@TKUltra971 i love the collection audible has! I do fear that I saw mention of The Arks of Omen would not make it to audible, and at the very least I feel immense gratitude that Lord Baldemort saw fit to gift us with his Arks of Omen series.
@@FailAries Agreed brother I predominantly listen to 40k on Audible Just finished The Lion, son of ghr Forest today I didnt want to order the Hardback...as i typically liaten to Audible while im working or driving. This is a God Send from Baldermort
Excellent as always. I am loving the new Dark Angels lore. Redemption of the Fallen through the jaws of the Lion is something I did not expect. Green knight mythology intact. Tester, teacher and redeemer of knights.
@DavidSharpMSc We don't know. He wasn't mentioned at all in the book. I suspect that Cypher hasn't met the Lion yet, but must have heard od him by now.
If this reading is you in your befuddled condition. Woe to those that embrace the darkness. As a 40k newbie. Your channel is a fantastic entry into the 40k verse. Thank you Baldermort. The Emperor protects.
I'm a bit late to this party, I was waiting for a day when I could lie back in comfort and immerse myself, start to finish, in this utter MAGNIFICENCE. A fine tale, masterfully told. Thank you kindly, fellow baldy. Thank you kindly.
You are a god damn god send. I have not read a 40k book in years, I get all my info from guys like you, and I really appreciate this. You did amazing work. Seriously, thank you brother.
You have my thanks and appreciation for your thorough and detailed recounting Librarian Baldermort. You have made the Emperor and the Lion proud on this day. Glory to the First Legion
I can't stop listening to this over and over again.. The opening dialogue alone with bors and the lion is so well voiced.. "WE WERE FALLEN! And to the unforgiven we still will be!"
Thank you so much for this amazing reading Baldermort. This is an incredible gift to give to us! I am very excited to enjoy the return of the Lion via your amazing Narration skills!
I love that Lion finally has humor, and your voice does a wonderful job personifying these wonderful characters! Glad to hear you once more, o wise servo-skull
3 hours and 13 minutes of Baldemort deliciousness. So this is what you’ve been cooking up, it’s enough for multiple dinners. Thanks & appreciation to you and Mrs. B 👍👊⭐️
I’m glad to see you went on to do The Lion after all. Great to hear you voice his character and bring life to the end of 9th Ed.’s narrative as only you can do.
Spectacular work! and, a truly large undertaking that I am yet to dare try. I can only imagine the time this might take to edit and render, no matter record! Again, truly wonderful.
The Lion Returns, narrated by our favoritest faithful servant, the great, yet humble Baldermort. Thank you for your narration of this story. I've been waiting to hear how Lion El'Johnson makes his return. Kind of a bummer things had to get even worse for the galaxy, but it's a great story nonetheless.
Keep the long form up! See if you can get a Kickstarter like Brandon Sanderson (writer), he said to his audience, “I can work or I can write, what do you want me to do?” His fans paid him a lot not to work and he cranked out 5 boos in two years. Good luck and keep this outstanding content coming!
I’m ashamed to say I’m too broke after some hospital bills to enjoy any new books right now But God emperor bless you! I can heal in some peace and entertainment! I’m literally crying I’m so happy! It’s hard to even go to the store for me but to hear this truly makes me happy! BLESS YOU ALL!!!
@@Baldermort I used to be in the marines. I was 185 pounds. Able to run or outrun with the best of them. But after I blew my knee out a few years ago I can barely go up the stairs to take a piss. I was a leader nobody expected because I was a nerd. My higher ups could hear in my voice I was from NYC, so they knew I had an major attitude problem. I always took care of my guys regardless of what dumb orders we got. I was the loudest, angriest Cpl who didn’t let anyone bully his marines. Now tho? This surgery has been one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. I WILL COME BACK STRONGER! The shame of my weakness weighs so heavily on me…. But I know my 2 friends who passed away would want me to rise up from this! Reading or listening to war hammer fuels my pride as an old used up marine! And I CANT THANK YOU ENOUGH! For the lion! For the emperor of mankind!! For humanity, semper Fi!!!
I am so sorry I did not see this brother. :( (I do not always see responses at all!) Just remember, your power came from within. The balls, strength and attitude, the ability and willing to go against asinine orders, your courage. They had nothing to do with your fitness. I cannot thank you enough for your service. All I can say is that many men probably owe you their lives. Let alone those you defended in your roll. Your entire community and country. Words. They mean little, but I hope you can hear the intent behind them. You will get through this and thrive. Just try to remember that you are who you are not because of what you can lift, run, push or pull. It is the fighting spirit of the warrior that burns within you. And that cannot ever be taken away or dimmed, no matter what fortune does to your vehicle. the body. You got this. |Thank you for your service!
About to finish “son of the forest” on audible and realised there wasn’t anything else to follow onto there. Thank god you dropped this I can’t wait to listen to it at work today
this is honestly the second time I have listened to this story and sir you are a professional and a godsend to those of us who can't dedicate the time for reading, or afford the material, and for that sir I salute you thank you and have a great day
This is wonderful. I just finished Lion, Son of the Forest on audible and was regretful the the AoO storyline following the Dark Angels wasn't offered that way. But you have created it! I've enjoyed this very, very much. I am certain that you must've filled in many gaps in the writing with your own material. And whatever you've crafted is extremely well done, not to mention your trademark narration. Thank you for presenting this to us!
This is a true gift to Warhammer fans across the board. I am an avid Audible listener and was saddened with the reality that this story probably would not be there. The quality and voice acting of this narration is just as good if not better than some of the books on Audible. Thank you, Lord Baldemort.
Baldermort! All……….ALL, your work is a small pleasure I get to listen to relax and decompress from the days work. You should be doing audiobooks…. Seriously
This was the single greatest 3hrs of my life...now I know why there are so may Dark Angel players....blown away by this lore...thanx Baldermort for you excellent video!
Aah yes the first time I was ever blessed with Baldemorts voice it was the fall of cadia for 4 hours straight on a Sunday afternoon this was no different I listened to every single word of this til its conclusion thank you for your service kind sir excellent job!!
May you be blessed, good sir. I really wanted to know the story, but didn´t want to buy an expensive book for just one read. Your voice is really nice to listen to.
I think I’ve rewatched this whole video probably 30+ times. Not only is it the video that got me into the hobby but baldy doing the Lions voice still gives me chills. 10/10
It’s so long I had to wait til I spent the WHOLE DAY doing my yard to listen to this LEGEND tell me story!!! Thanks keep up the great work AVE INPERATOR

I can’t thank you enough for all your hard work and passion. May the Great Angel guide you
I hope you also heard the follow up story to that one, on Bolters.
Half my night shift will be spent listening. From tiresome waking hours it suddenly became amazing storytime. Thanks Baldemort!! Only half hour in and im already amazed.
What I think I really like about the Arks of Omen story is that, in terms of it's narrative construction, Vashtorr was the protagonist. They drop a new character for the faction known by the fanbase to have problems with winning, gave him a whole introductory story with ups and downs for him, and let him win. A fantastic introduction for a new villian.
3 hours?? Damn, I have to go to a graduation today and I have work tomorrow and sunday but I promise I'll come back and listen to this sometime this weekend....gonna get so much painting done when I listen to this.
It sucks to read that your back isnt getting better though, get well soon Balders!
You have such a rich and acculturated way of reading, it’s truly a privilege to be able to follow such an artist.
I am so excited for this!! I have been avoiding everyone else's impressions and readings from the Lion's return because I just knew you would do it the most justice!
Thank you Baldermort!
It's a crime GW haven't hired Baldermort to cover their Black Library novels.
Not all great people will be honored.. But we know his work, and for now it is enough..
It's better that he doesn't take the gold of chaos lords at GW
@@davidb3155he can take the audible book speaker position. I'd buy them again just to hear him.
Gonna go with the other brothers here. Jee Dubz is a soulless corporate shill for Whizzers on the Coast and HazBro', all of whom do not like it when anyone with actual talent tries to tell them, teach them, or otherwise dictate to them what **THEIR HOLY OPINION** should comprise concerning quality work. As such, they won't hire capable, qualified people who have a mind of their own. They'd rather hire one or two hotshot die-hards and stack their cash/business model so they can make more profit for less negotiation.
Huge necro, but I do like John Keeble's narration in the heresy series.
Awesome! Good to see the book narrated by my favourite 40k narrator, cheers!
Cheers
Your Vashtor voice was absolutely amazing. Could listen to that all day
I'm only on the first 25 minutes and its already some of the best storytelling I have EVER heard.
I mean, I have never heard anyone so good at these forms of narrative, or any form of narrative for that manner. And I have heard thousands of hours of oratory. You are genuinely the best orator and writer I have ever encountered in my nearly 15,000 hours of listening to audiobooks of both fiction and non-fiction (primarily), podcasts, documentaries, etc., you exceed all of them in quality of narration and tie the best of them (the best of which were all non-fiction, excluding you now) for quality of content.
This was amazing after a long night of drinking and partying on Saturday, and now while I'm making jewelry on Monday, this is the quintessence of brilliance. Thank you.
Thank you so much for such rare praise brother. I hope I can only improve. :)
@@Baldermort Thank you my dear sir.
@@Baldermortbrother, YOU are for me, the best lore channel. Your voice is blessed by the Emperor himself.
Thank you for the awesome content! I've been getting into 40k books recently and this is a perfect sequel to The Lion: Son Of The Forest
Ohhh... so that's why no video last week; you were using the extra time to give us a *REAL* treat!
3 1/4 hours. Mr Baldermort you glorious bastard you are spoiling us with this one. What better way to start the weekend. LET'S GO
ABSOLUTE LEGEND MAN!!!!! Thx Balders
Listing to the fallen talk to el Johnson I’ve come to a realization both the fallen and the unforgiven were two sides of the same coin split apart for 10 thousand years both factions had their secrets but a inner circle high command that knew the truth of what happened on Caliban with ordinary marines unaware of the truth.
Most fallen dark angles are in fact loyal to the emperor believing it was the lion that betrayed them but now that their father has returns to set things strait the two sides of the story are finally peace’s back together like a tapestry most fallen can be redeemed while those marines the inner circle around Luther are the ones that fell to chaos the true fallen that can never be fully redeemed.
I was daydreaming about having this just the other day. Thank you so much. For EVERYTHING you do. 🙏🏼
As someone who simply doesn't have the time to read hard copy books, I appreciate this immensely. As an Audiobook lover who is also a warhammer fanatic, I appreciate this truly kingly gift beyond words. Where is your patreon?
@@TKUltra971 i love the collection audible has! I do fear that I saw mention of The Arks of Omen would not make it to audible, and at the very least I feel immense gratitude that Lord Baldemort saw fit to gift us with his Arks of Omen series.
Seconded
@@FailAries Agreed brother
I predominantly listen to 40k on Audible
Just finished The Lion, son of ghr Forest today
I didnt want to order the Hardback...as i typically liaten to Audible while im working or driving.
This is a God Send from Baldermort
Patreon is in the about section
Excellent as always. I am loving the new Dark Angels lore. Redemption of the Fallen through the jaws of the Lion is something I did not expect. Green knight mythology intact. Tester, teacher and redeemer of knights.
What happened to Cypher? Did he meet Lion?
@DavidSharpMSc We don't know. He wasn't mentioned at all in the book. I suspect that Cypher hasn't met the Lion yet, but must have heard od him by now.
@@Boomkokogamez Thanks mate, I am dying to find out how the whole cypher plotline works out
I've been so hoping someone would do this, and no one better than you! Thank you!
Baldemort you absolute legend I finished lion son of the forest yesterday your timing could not have been better!!!
Just finished it today
Was a great read
Despite having reading the Arks of Omen books already, I am truly thankful for this!
Very very very very good voice over!
Amazing Sir! Thank you!
If this reading is you in your befuddled condition. Woe to those that embrace the darkness.
As a 40k newbie. Your channel is a fantastic entry into the 40k verse. Thank you Baldermort. The Emperor protects.
May I kiss your 40k newbie Bwi'ish patriot geezer behind? I'm gay
Finally, I was waiting for this episode... Probably one of the most important pieces of lore, especially for Dark Angels fan. Many thanks.
I showed up hoping for a 2 hour deep dive, but 3 hours and 14 minutes of EPIC narration......I was not prepared
You, my friend, are an incredible reader.
This is proof you could improve any of the 40k books' audiobooks tenfold!
I'm a bit late to this party, I was waiting for a day when I could lie back in comfort and immerse myself, start to finish, in this utter MAGNIFICENCE. A fine tale, masterfully told. Thank you kindly, fellow baldy. Thank you kindly.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Man, thank you for dropping this video. I just finished " the Lion, son of the forest," and I needed more.
This one was too short. I can lissen these hours and hours at one time! Thanks Bald!!🙏🇫🇮
Fantastic reading. I was hooked. Will look out for more by you and listen. Thank you.
You are a god damn god send. I have not read a 40k book in years, I get all my info from guys like you, and I really appreciate this. You did amazing work. Seriously, thank you brother.
I enjoyed every second of this. I get chills when Azrael gets to see The Lion for the first time.
You have my thanks and appreciation for your thorough and detailed recounting Librarian Baldermort. You have made the Emperor and the Lion proud on this day. Glory to the First Legion
3 hours!? By the Emperor! This is AWESOME! 😋
UA-cam algorithm had finally delivered…little did I know…this is what I needed.
I can't stop listening to this over and over again.. The opening dialogue alone with bors and the lion is so well voiced..
"WE WERE FALLEN! And to the unforgiven we still will be!"
Thank you so much for this amazing reading Baldermort. This is an incredible gift to give to us! I am very excited to enjoy the return of the Lion via your amazing Narration skills!
I thought to myself, the return of lion without Baldermort is just wrong.... But the return of the Lion AND return of the Bard is just perfect!
I love that Lion finally has humor, and your voice does a wonderful job personifying these wonderful characters! Glad to hear you once more, o wise servo-skull
3 hours and 13 minutes of Baldemort deliciousness. So this is what you’ve been cooking up, it’s enough for multiple dinners. Thanks & appreciation to you and Mrs. B 👍👊⭐️
I’m glad to see you went on to do The Lion after all. Great to hear you voice his character and bring life to the end of 9th Ed.’s narrative as only you can do.
Baldermort sir, you truly are a king among men! This is great!
Spectacular work!
and, a truly large undertaking that I am yet to dare try. I can only imagine the time this might take to edit and render, no matter record!
Again, truly wonderful.
Everyone thinks it but I´ll spell it out: Baldermort, you are amazing!!!
Thank you so much for your epic videos.
For the many hours of enthralling entertainment. I only wish i could contribute more
Adeptus Baldemort...it is breathtaking work, thank you very much in the name of the Lion! You bring us honour, brother👏🌟❤️✨😇
The Lion Returns, narrated by our favoritest faithful servant, the great, yet humble Baldermort.
Thank you for your narration of this story. I've been waiting to hear how Lion El'Johnson makes his return. Kind of a bummer things had to get even worse for the galaxy, but it's a great story nonetheless.
I have been waiting for this since the vashtor video. Praise be! Ave imperator.
I bought this, read this and have been waiting for your entry on it. I am so pleased that it is it, in its entirety.
Baldermort, your a gem my good sir. This video was a chefs kiss.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Keep the long form up! See if you can get a Kickstarter like Brandon Sanderson (writer), he said to his audience, “I can work or I can write, what do you want me to do?”
His fans paid him a lot not to work and he cranked out 5 boos in two years. Good luck and keep this outstanding content coming!
I’m ashamed to say I’m too broke after some hospital bills to enjoy any new books right now
But God emperor bless you! I can heal in some peace and entertainment! I’m literally crying I’m so happy! It’s hard to even go to the store for me but to hear this truly makes me happy! BLESS YOU ALL!!!
Why ashamed? You got ill. You’ll be ok. Your worth is not measured in affluence brother.
@@Baldermort I used to be in the marines. I was 185 pounds. Able to run or outrun with the best of them. But after I blew my knee out a few years ago I can barely go up the stairs to take a piss. I was a leader nobody expected because I was a nerd. My higher ups could hear in my voice I was from NYC, so they knew I had an major attitude problem. I always took care of my guys regardless of what dumb orders we got. I was the loudest, angriest Cpl who didn’t let anyone bully his marines. Now tho? This surgery has been one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. I WILL COME BACK STRONGER! The shame of my weakness weighs so heavily on me…. But I know my 2 friends who passed away would want me to rise up from this! Reading or listening to war hammer fuels my pride as an old used up marine! And I CANT THANK YOU ENOUGH!
For the lion! For the emperor of mankind!! For humanity, semper Fi!!!
I am so sorry I did not see this brother. :( (I do not always see responses at all!)
Just remember, your power came from within. The balls, strength and attitude, the ability and willing to go against asinine orders, your courage. They had nothing to do with your fitness.
I cannot thank you enough for your service. All I can say is that many men probably owe you their lives. Let alone those you defended in your roll. Your entire community and country.
Words. They mean little, but I hope you can hear the intent behind them. You will get through this and thrive. Just try to remember that you are who you are not because of what you can lift, run, push or pull. It is the fighting spirit of the warrior that burns within you. And that cannot ever be taken away or dimmed, no matter what fortune does to your vehicle. the body.
You got this.
|Thank you for your service!
For something so many of us couldn't get cheers
Thank you brother.
*bows to brother Joestar*
About to finish “son of the forest” on audible and realised there wasn’t anything else to follow onto there. Thank god you dropped this I can’t wait to listen to it at work today
Dear Balders You have no idea how much I anticipated your new vid I knew it would be a masterclass
3hrs? Gaw'damn! Know what I'm listing to this weekend.
GW needs to hire this dude ASAP for their audio books. Thank you Baldemort!
no then he couldnt do these vids anymore .
True.
this is honestly the second time I have listened to this story and sir you are a professional and a godsend to those of us who can't dedicate the time for reading, or afford the material, and for that sir I salute you thank you and have a great day
The only thing that could make my honeymoon better was listening to this on the beech. Perfection.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I hope your nuptials were amazing. :)
Well damn, I leave for like 2-3 months, and the Chaplin is doing audiobooks now. This is certainly welcome. Thank you for the video, Brother Chaplin.
This is wonderful. I just finished Lion, Son of the Forest on audible and was regretful the the AoO storyline following the Dark Angels wasn't offered that way. But you have created it! I've enjoyed this very, very much. I am certain that you must've filled in many gaps in the writing with your own material. And whatever you've crafted is extremely well done, not to mention your trademark narration. Thank you for presenting this to us!
Hands down my favourite voice to guide me through WH lore! Thank you from AB Canada! Keep being all you are - A LEGEND!
Never would've bought it myself and waiting for the Lion book will take an eternity, thank you for this, you do this Dark Angel proud.
I want to know more of the Lions story. Does Chaos make a beeline towards him also.
Thank you Sir Baldermort,
This has made a good time to chill and listen.
Hopefully you are back on your feet again before long
Oh balder! Over 3 hours! Oh how you have blessed us! Im really loving this series thank you!
This is a true gift to Warhammer fans across the board. I am an avid Audible listener and was saddened with the reality that this story probably would not be there. The quality and voice acting of this narration is just as good if not better than some of the books on Audible. Thank you, Lord Baldemort.
God I love this stuff! Please keep the full reads going, absolutely amazing work
Baldermort! All……….ALL, your work is a small pleasure I get to listen to relax and decompress from the days work. You should be doing audiobooks…. Seriously
LETS GOOO. Your read throughs are my favorite!
This was the single greatest 3hrs of my life...now I know why there are so may Dark Angel players....blown away by this lore...thanx Baldermort for you excellent video!
3 hours of narration? Oh this'll go perfect as I paint up the last few models in my pile of shame! Stay in good health Baldermort!
Baldermort! I caught up.... I'm blown away. This was incredible. I dont have words but truly this is incredible.
Aah yes the first time I was ever blessed with Baldemorts voice it was the fall of cadia for 4 hours straight on a Sunday afternoon this was no different I listened to every single word of this til its conclusion thank you for your service kind sir excellent job!!
May you be blessed, good sir. I really wanted to know the story, but didn´t want to buy an expensive book for just one read. Your voice is really nice to listen to.
I don't care if it's summer, i'm sitting by the fire for this one
I think I’ve rewatched this whole video probably 30+ times. Not only is it the video that got me into the hobby but baldy doing the Lions voice still gives me chills. 10/10
I vividly remember painting my Leviathan box marines to it. And rewatching now. Hard for our faithful servant to mess up such greatness
The god emperor smiles apon us this day!! Thank you for this epic you've graced us with Lord Baldermort 🎉🎉🎉
Sweet Mamabahootski! An EPIC LEVEL BALDERMORTICON STORY!!! This makes a rough week feel a bit better...
Now I have something epic to listen while I commute to work. Thank you, you are a legend beyond compare!
May the EMPEROR watch over you Mr.Baldermort.. and may he heal yr back pain.. THANK YOU for this Audio book.
mmmmm 3 hours of Baldermort....truly we are blessed today!
It’s so long I had to wait til I spent the WHOLE DAY doing my yard to listen to this LEGEND tell me story!!! Thanks keep up the great work AVE INPERATOR
Thank you, I am unable to obtain Warhammer Books but was really looking forward to this one
Just what I needed this evening. Thank you good sir.
