    Dear Gentle listeners, here are a few more videos that may appeal. All connected to the Crimson Fists.

    Dorn - Primarch of the Crimson Fists (being Imperial Fists) - ua-cam.com/video/hRUd-9A3MwY/v-deo.html
    I sincerely hope you enjoy this entry, brief as it is.

      I recently heard a story from the Black Library though I hadn't read it myself was about the Crimson Fists on a planet and they were all nearly wiped out say for 16 of them, one being the Chapter Master and with regret I forget his name. But this story has of recent made me a fan of the Crimson Fists and that Chapter Master for against all odds he saves human lives and fights the onslaught of the Orks. I do not know how the story ends but I now wish I had their models. My recreations on Dawn of War 2 does no justice. I look forward to any more content if you plan to cover them again in the future.

    @michaelmurphy2786 5 років тому +41

    Ultimately, this is one of those fan series where you very much want the original creators to take a close look, though granted historically GW does not listen, as since I've said before you have a voice that reminds me of Vincent Price for how you are able to modulate your voice to the right theatrics for that moment, you can hear the passion, the genuine emotion in each sentence, and the ability to overcome, by their standards, amatuer production values to deliver a higher quality product.
    On topic though, I do wonder out of all the Space Marine chapters that there are, how the Crimson Fists with their unique experience and hatred of the greenskin would react if a Krork was to walk once more. They understand Orks most likely better than any other military body in the Imperium, so they'd understand just how much danger there was and how much lube they'd need, even Dorn couldnt clench that tight.

    The Crimson Fusts have always remained my favourite modern chapter. My first ever painted space marine miniatures were Crimson Fists. I haven't been the longest serving 40k fan but the story of Rynns world always captured my attention and awe. I believe my love for them is a key reason I'm such a big Imperial fist and Rigal Dorn fan today.
    Yes superficially there is little to differentiate them from the Ultramarines. But where the Ultramarines win, succeed and show their superiority to all, the CF's gain their glory through snatching victory from the grips of failure just barely, time and again. To me they have a similar appeal to the Salamanders in that way.

    5:30 They likely didn't have this in mind, but to the American eye, the blue uniforms, the heraldry, the cluster -- it can only be Custer's Last Stand in space. That resonates rather differently, which may indeed represent the subtle difference in the lore's affects on Mericans.

    Lord Baldermort, you have now given us most entertaining and informative videos on the two most widely known 2nd Founding successor chapters of the Imperial Fists: the Black Templars which embody Rogal Dorn's unwavering faith in the Imperium and the Crimson Fists which embody the spirit of Rogal Dorn's heroism.
    I ask that you look into my favorite and most beloved chapter, another 2nd Founding Imperial Fist successor, the embodiment of Rogal Dorn's resolute stoicism, the Excoriators.
    I ask only that you look into the Excoriators to decide if they are worthy of being the subject of one of your vaunted videos. You might be surprised as the Excoriators embody the true characteristics of Rogal Dorn...to dig in, to embrace pain as an inevitability and to find solice in it, to wear down a foe through attrition, to not be afraid to let the scars of war shape you...to win at any and all costs.
    I love your videos as I love my Excoriators. Thank you for you dedication, time, and hard work.

    • @knowplay3258
      @knowplay3258 5 років тому +3

      If looking for the most lore involving the Excoriators, look to the Black Library novel, Legion of the Damned. You can also look to any lore about those 20 chapters chosen to be the eternal guardians of the Eye of Terror, the Astartes Praeses as the Excoriators are considered the defacto leadership of the twenty.
      The tales of the rise, fall, and resurrection of Zachariah Kersh, Chapter Master of the Excoriators, is nothing short of being reminiscent of the epics and legends of our own ancient history. His life's story finds place among those of the likes of Achilles, Theseus, Odysseus, and Perseus that of being more than a mere man, but finding a way to prevail when all hope is lost giving his brethren a much needed path to follow.
      But, I digress. I ask only that you read the lore concerning the Excoriators as you have time. Again, thank you.

    • @Baldermort

      Well, brother, I can answer that very simply - as Brother Zhou has also stated the same. Soon we have the Psychic Awakening. I will get my opportunity to wipe that tiny entry off the map. I don;t like it really. I was not very experienced and did not do the Tau justice. :(
      We will be hitting the Tau Lore as hard as we did Ynarri. Its going to be wall to wall Greater good. But I need to study up a bit more in preparation. But trust me, I sincerely hope it should be worth the wait. : )

    "-A figure reared up out of the smoke. A giant of a man, clad in battered armor of midnight blue and hammered gold. A winged skull in silver, covered in bright scars from the bite of bullet and blade, was emblazed across his breastplate, and golden laurels of valor where fixed to the warrior's puldrons and greaves. A 5th laurel, wrought in dark grey metal and humming with untapped power, rested upon the brow of the giant's scratched and pitted helm. ragged stubs of parchment fixed to the warrior's armor by huge wax seals fluttered at shoulder and knee, and a tattered crimson tabard hung from his armored waist. The giant's fists where painted the color of blood. And the right one, outsized and crackling with fearsome energies, was raised to strike. Pedro Kantor, chapter master of the Crimson Fist, reached the ork in a single stride and slapped the ork across the face with his power fist. The fits' power field met flesh and bone with a sizzling crack, bursting the greenskin's head apart. "For Dorn and the Emperor!", Kantor roared-" - excerpt from Traitor's Gorge. and my intro to the Crimson Fist
