I dreamed of a galaxy, one so much like this one, filled with strife and harried by darkness. Yet in it all hearts were turned not against each other but against the darkness. In that world's shadows, I saw a noble white tiger and a proud red hawk as eternal companions. Many were stories of their travels. Many and glorious.
Fulgrim: I heard you like to do strange things to your ships Jaghatai: I heard you like to do strange things to your warriors. ME: HA! GOT EM'!!! SUCK IT FULGRIM LOL!! FOR THE KHAGAN!!! White Scars are my 2nd favorite chapter often tied with my love for the Salamanders.
Dear Gentle Listeners. An attempt at accents. I was not keen, but was advised to give it a try. So, no offence to anyone is meant. I just listened to Marco Polo a lot and gave it a try. So no hanging me if its dire. Just tell me its dire? : ) Patreon: www.patreon.com/join/3510517 Donations: www.paypal.com/donate/?token=Y4Llm9tB2Tx_bK9udl2XttA9Jg2wteooCT85uqZBejU9htjDAoQA9NX3Kz8hEiP-_WRe30&country.x=GB&locale.x=GB Sorry for the delay!
No, you did good. We have to realize that *your* accent is new, in the face of what geologists call "Deep Time". My accent, Wisconsinite American, is "new" a couple hundred years ago was a breath away. So, now... *thousands* of years in the future? Totally up for interpretation. I consider myself *quite woke* and know you aren't "stepping on any toes". Love you, Baldermort! ✊
They need a little work but like your channel, videos and skills they will grow exponentially Brother, thank you for this great video Brother the White Scars hold a soft spot in my heart for their unique flair and culture. Ave Imperator!
The White Scars are as underrated as this channel. Loved that audio drama of the White Tiger and Red Eagle. As Thraka put it, "good enemies iz 'ard to find"
I really like the white scars, they feel much less "sterile" than the other marine chapters. They sound like they'd be actually funny to talk to and be capable of partying without freaking out and butchering everyone for heresy.
Another cool aspect I think is that while they're not sterile they're very stable. They've always been reliable allies, and since the heresy have never had any great schisms or conflicts with other Imperials.
"'A blade is freedom, son of Dorn. It is the wind and storm flash. Chain it, and you chain yourself.’ - Jubal Khan, Lord of Summer Lightning, and the Death that Comes with Laughter - Words said during the honour duel with Sigismund the First Captain of the Imperial Fists Legion, Master of The Templar Brethren. Anno Imperator 990.M30 ‘A thousand battles are waged in the wise man’s head to gain but a single victory' Honoured Kyublai Great Khan of the White Scars Chapter(M.I.A.) “Ever was it thus,” Shrike sighed, blatantly changing the subject. “Ever did the sons of the steppes seek to charge headlong to glory without pause or consideration of the grand scheme.” “And ever did the ravens haunt the shadows,” Kor’sarro replied bitterly, “biding their time while glory passed them by.” - Shadow Captain Kayvaan Shrike and Kor'sarro Khan during the so called "Hunt for Voldorius" Anno Imperator 865.M41 "Surround yourself with the greatest warriors at your command, or cower in the deepest and darkest hole you can find. It matters not. I shall take your head for the Great Khan and for the Emperor." - Kor'sarro Khan, Master of the Hunt, to Daemon Pince Kernax Voldorius of the Alpha Legion.
Enjoyed the ending of the story I think this sums it up pretty good; “Your friends will believe in your potential, your enemies will make you live up to it.” ― Tim Fargo
andrew niehoff well, you can see why it took a while, I hope. Some of it was more complicated and fiddly than some might think. Glad you enjoyed the corn fest. Seems the gentle listeners are a bunch of jessies. :). Gotta love em all. :D.
Perfect timing baldermort. I was just leaving for work, and have an hour long commute. This will do nicely. Though, considering the subject matter I may arrive there in half the time.
I am glad to see a nother 40k narrator that puts heart and soul into his narrations, your intros are simply stunning! Keep up the good work and I hope that you will do an video on the inquisition one day :)
Honestly this is one of the best 40k audio drama's I've ever heard and it wasn't even an official Black Library product. Listened to it while driving and it had me actually cheering in my car. Just Amazing.
Well narrated with grace and passion. The White Scars are a very underrated Founding Chapter in my opinion. I still think they'll find Jagatai one day. Thank you for another great narration:)
Ahhh, my most beloved Chapter. My own Storm Furies are a White Scars successor chapter with a love of landspeeders and converted warcars (paint: cherry red and chrome. Icons: flaming wheels and thunderbirds).
No wonder this one took so long to put out! An hour of amazing voiceover. As always, your contribution to the badassery of 40k is massive and outstanding, Baldermort!
The White Scars are my favorite loyalists and the Alpha Legion my favorite traitors (?) and you've done both of them a great service, amazing content, as always.
Me too! My dream fluff would be a White Scar squad work along an Alpha Legion cell against a mutual enemy. Alas, the Alpha Legion gets no love for whatever reason
@@orygungeeksolitude1380 They don't know what to do with them. Especially after they botched the Cabal Storyline after how hyped it was in Legion, they just need a writer. Like how the Scars were kinda forgettable till Chris Wright wrote their stories and made them beyond awesome
@@Ayem339 Legit lameness in the BL tradition of falling short when the narrative ACTUALLY turns the perspective to one that is more logical based on fact than favor. It seems GW/BL IP continuously flaunt the 'skin of their teeth' narrative for the Imperium's existence or confrontations. It's really getting old and honestly is quite shallow. I feel that the Alpha Legion share much in off the battlefield philosophy even if their battlefield tactics are highly opposed save for The Harrowing tactic they use. Check out "@therealbrokenfingers" on Instagram for some awesome Alpha Legion dioramas. You'd appreciate the art if you don't already know of it.
So truth be told I find the white scares to be terribly boring. I of course want to learn more of them but I have always hated they are “ mysterious” but are really just under developed and that is supposed to be a character trait. I want stories of how they think of other chapters who are not Raven Guard or how they wage war with chapters who are similar to them.
This is so incredible. The absolute, almost, tenderness of your voice fits the near serene nature of the V. This video made me a White Scars fan, and as a Space Wolves die-hard I eagerly look forward to the day you put out a video of such quality regarding the Vlka Fenryka. For the Emperor and the Khan!
What an epic tale! Best telling of the story of the White Scars I've seen yet. The conclusion of the dual was amazing. Two great warriors driving one another to become the best.
Nice audio drama. I like how you often spice up your lore videos with the stories / first-person-view. It really helps the immersion. I'm glad you put this much effort into your work!!
I was curious how youd do the white scars. I assumed it would of been from an imperial scribe PoV but I'm pleased you made the attempt to do it from the scars PoV themselves and tried the accent BL has given them.
This video has given me new respect for the Whitescars. Perhaps now one of my top 3 fav legions/chapters THAT ENDING GAVE ME GOOSEBUMPS ALL OVER OKE NEW FAV LEGION!!!! Love eldar Love whitescars that was AWESOME!!!
People always say the White Scars are just space Mongols and in a lot of ways they are but... do any of them understand what that means?? The Mongols created earths largest empire almost by accident! They really did just want to go fast so badly they ran to the ends of the earth, as well as wanting a good fight and finally, truly linking East and West, North and South...
You know what, I'm glad my vote lost. The draw was so much better. In fact as soon as the narrative started in this video I regretted my choice. Thank you brother, for yet another wonderful adventure!
Completely unrelated wishful suggestion for a future faction to cover: Don’t forget the Sisters of Silence! They’re more on the obscure side of things but they’re such a cool faction with great characters. Would love to see a baldemort style video about them eventually ;))))
“I am the flail of God. Had you not created great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.” Genghis Khan I wonder if I'm the only one that hears the theme of Conan the Barbarian when reading/listening to the lore of The White Scars and Jaghatai Khan. Somehow I doubt it.
S Blair dammit. I love mead, but can’t take the hangovers anymore. If you have a tankard, raise one for me as well old chap. Maybe when I am a bit ahead I can afford the two day hangover. Alas, I drank it like water once. Heh.
Oh brother baldermort i am glad you are back. I hope you are once again healthy. I have missed you my friend. I wish you the best of luck as always. You deserve it all your work is as always quite profound. Also congratulations on your amazing speed in which you gain new subs! P.S. As an Asian i take no offense to your voice and accent. I think without them it would detract from great work. It is also obvious that you do this out of respect and show your respect openly. So keep on keeping on brother look forward to the next.
This is without question the best lore video ever. I knew a little about the white scars but this made me buy an army. Screw Girlyman I'm waiting on the return of Jaghatai. The Khan is pleased.
On top of the other awesome things about this channel that everyone already mentioned, there’s a noticeable absence of distracting mid-roll ads. I used to listen to a bunch of ASOIAF lore videos, but that fandom is much more profit driven and it’s almost impossible to listen while driving or working with tools now because a five-minute Kitchenware add could come on at any moment. Apparently UA-cam just kind of randomly sprinkles the ad breaks in and the creator needs to take extra steps to either remove them or put them at natural breaks in the video and loses revenue if they take out the mid-roll ads. The fact that he’s willing to take a financial hit to make his videos a more pleasurable viewing/listening experience speaks volumes about his character and love of the setting.
Steven Gregor it’s horrific. :(. I despise mid video ads. I used to listen to people in the bath to relax. Now I have to get up from my tub to hit ‘fast forward’ past then. It’s soooooo annoying. But it does mean I make very little. :(. I don’t know the answer but to beg for more patrons. Because this takes a looong time to do and at the present it’s simply not financially viable in the long term. :(. Any solutions you can think of? I do need greater revenue but despise ads. Catch 22. :(.
Its settled. When I one day re-forge my White Scars army, they shall be led by Osmogai Khan. Thank you for shining a spotlight on my favorite chapter of all time!
That was fantastic Brother Baldermort. Three presentations in one: The Boy Who Would Be Khan, An Introduction to the White Scars and the finale to Dual of Riders... It felt like Christmas. My thanks to you for regaling such tales and teachings Brother.
Awesome channel! I’ve watched many of your videos and my opinions keep shifting, I used to be loyalist, then watched your thunder warrior, black legion, alpha legion and word bearer videos and I supported chaos. Now this turned me back to the Emperor’s light!!! Thank you faithful servant!!!
I just came across your channel and Holy shit do I love it. Just finished your Alpha Legion Video, I wanted to fall asleep to it but ended up watching it completely through. You sir have a new subscriber and you deserve a lot more. I'm looking forward to watching through your other videos. Greetings from Germany!
That was awesome Brother Baldermort! I definitely have a new and much deserved respect for the White Scars. This was well worth the wait, well done! I hope you are feeling better!
Fan-fucking-tastic!! I knew very little of the White Scars and this has given me a new respect for them. Also this choose the faith of the narrative idea is a great addition to the videos! Keep it up!
God, that was amazing. The narrative you spun was a worthy tale of rivalry, and final litany of titles and roles they eventually undertake tells its own story, especially with the implication that each time they changed roles, they still crossed paths and blades. The White Scars a cool idea that sadly has less material than other Chapters. I do like that they are one of the Chapters described as having hobbies and interests outside their duties, such as poetry and painting. They might be savage hunters, but they also have class and character as they do the Emperor's Work.
Aye, tis true. But if we keep showing interest, keeping bashing thje gong for the sons of the khan - they may well take notice at GW and get more information about the scars to us. We can but try :)
I forgot this was an hour long video and i got passed the fifteen minute mark thinking to myself dayum this a long ass video.... keep up the good work, the voice work is badass
I've always seen the White Scars as the loyalist equivalent of the Night Lords. Kinda like how the Imperial Fists are the loyalist equivalent of the Iron Warriors.
@@dominicomegon4714 Yes, but when we're talking equivalency, the line is typically drawn between the sides of the Horus Heresy. Although there isn't really a solid equivalent for the Thousand Sons or Alpha Legion on the Loyalist side...
I've been watching Eisenhorn: Xenos' cutscenes these last few days. If you don't already, you should totally get in touch with Game's Workshop to do voice acting on their games. Your passion plus your voice is a knockout combination.
bebopbountyhead then go to your local club and see what they are playing and build some bridges my friend. It really is a fantastic hobby. :). Good luck!!!!! :).
Amazing narrative. Thrilling. I could see myself in the steppes, and i was affraid for both heroes. As per usual, well written, well read. I am in awe. Thank you
I've never heard anyone say "End Quote" with such animosity. These lore videos are an absolute gem. Mixing info and theatrics in a way that genuinely sells the overall tone of the 40k universe. Entertaining, engaging, and informative. You paint such a wonderful picture with your rhetoric, one has to wonder: Why hasn't GW brought you in to record some audiobooks?
Jesse Wood thank you brother Wood. A lot!! It’s just light entertainment but it takes a bit to do. ;). Thank you for taking the time to comment so generously. It is appreciated. :).
Brother! Amazing. Super impressed. Loved the story mixed into the history. My sole criticism would be some more delineation between character internal monologue. It took me a few seconds to realize what was going on. Loved it, just took a sec.
That ending was magnificient!!! Suggestion, I've never seen a video on the psuedo marines. Folks like Luthor, Erebus, and KP who were already full grown humans by the time of the great crusade Not even sure if enough lore is out there to even make a video.
Not much else to say, that hasn’t been said, but very well done Brother B. You did some serious justice with the accents with the White Scars characters, my ear always hears them with an Asian/Mongolian flection. Very nice touch running the duel through the episode. Your skills are entering epic levels, and I’m looking forward to what’s coming next. :)
Thank you for the high praise again, brother Richard. I am trying new things and seeing if they work out. More strings to the bow so we don;t get bored of my dulcet tones. But I hope to do even more on big projects. Still a long way to go, but there will have to be smaller vids and sometimes weeks thereof to permit rest and prep time for the bigger things. Sorry. Waffling on. Apologies brother. Thank you for listening, as always. :)
My favourite Space Marine legion, done great justice. Thank you buddy. An hour exploring them and Chogoris, the White Scars are one of the most under-represented Space Marine factions in all of 40k, despite being so instrumental in the Horus Heresy and continuing to be a notable presence in the Imperium. You've done the Khan proud.
I've found your channel with your Black Templar video and I fell in love instantly your style of narration as I believe it to be the most story and setting like. But I simply must ask, are your mannerisms and vocabulary for these videos all learned from where you grew up? or did you acquire them overtime from another source? As I find your method of story telling and explanations to be incredibly enticing and unique!
Thank you brother Requiem. erm, I'm a nerd and have run RPGs all my life. That's it really. Just a bit of a berk really. So lots of reading and strange accents and playing from the roleplay. That;s it. No magic. :) I just respect the factions. Research them a tiny bit and they are all treasure troves. :) .
@@Baldermort Haha, I must say that is a pretty good way to learn that then. But nevertheless it has payed off in full that's for sure. Great video as always and I eagerly await for your next video! (Especially for the one with that continues the story of a Certain Chapter with that gives the Codex the Bird and gives the Heretic and the Witch no quarter, Black Templars FTW)
Found this video as per recommendation by a friend who knew of my love for the Vth Legion. Your beautiful narration accompanied with that awesome voice tinged with the Black Library WS accent just cemented my love even more. The Lightning Wraiths, my homebrew WS Successor chapter, will grow even more thanks to your amazing video. *cries in over 40k words of lore*
Your voice makes me so happy! The way you invoke the majesty of the lore is just so powerful. You truly set yourself apart from the other Lore Masters. Emperor bless they’re names, of course .
This was a fantastic video, I agree with people in the comments, WS don't get enough love and this videos did them justice. I loved the story and how it tied into our vote a while back ago. It was a really good story and kept me at the edge of my seat. Congratulations on 10K subs it's very much well earned!
Chills.... The audio drama blew me away and I have a strange desire to paint bikes for some reason. Loved seeing the tale of the tiger and the eagle! Possibly your greatest work so far. Eagerly waiting for more.
Listening again as I paint for charity today! Love this vid! White Tiger and Red Eagle!!! More! More! More! Chaplein Baldermort We need more of this legendary tale!!!!!
We are glad you have returned. I nearly sent out the search party for you. I love the White Scars, very underrated, they have a rich history that needs more attention.
Love the narrative that you have interwoven through out the video. The narrative provides a unique and much appreciated example of the lore in action. Keep up the good work sir.
Not watched this yet but I’m excited. Like a child on Xmas morning. Love your videos, especially the longer ones. Keep up the excellent work. Ps You’re also to blame for a certain space wolves army being liberated from a dusty attic.
with the sheer quality of narration we should really start calling you chaplain Baldermort!

P.S. As an Asian i take no offense to your voice and accent. I think without them it would detract from great work. It is also obvious that you do this out of respect and show your respect openly. So keep on keeping on brother look forward to the next.
Goddamn within the first three minutes I was in tears. That early childhood story was that good!
This is without question the best lore video ever. I knew a little about the white scars but this made me buy an army. Screw Girlyman I'm waiting on the return of Jaghatai. The Khan is pleased.
Absolutely magnificent, from start to finish. Bravo
On top of the other awesome things about this channel that everyone already mentioned, there’s a noticeable absence of distracting mid-roll ads. I used to listen to a bunch of ASOIAF lore videos, but that fandom is much more profit driven and it’s almost impossible to listen while driving or working with tools now because a five-minute Kitchenware add could come on at any moment. Apparently UA-cam just kind of randomly sprinkles the ad breaks in and the creator needs to take extra steps to either remove them or put them at natural breaks in the video and loses revenue if they take out the mid-roll ads. The fact that he’s willing to take a financial hit to make his videos a more pleasurable viewing/listening experience speaks volumes about his character and love of the setting.
Steven Gregor it’s horrific. :(. I despise mid video ads. I used to listen to people in the bath to relax. Now I have to get up from my tub to hit ‘fast forward’ past then. It’s soooooo annoying.
But it does mean I make very little. :(.
I don’t know the answer but to beg for more patrons. Because this takes a looong time to do and at the present it’s simply not financially viable in the long term. :(.
Any solutions you can think of? I do need greater revenue but despise ads. Catch 22. :(.
Its settled. When I one day re-forge my White Scars army, they shall be led by Osmogai Khan. Thank you for shining a spotlight on my favorite chapter of all time!
That was fantastic Brother Baldermort. Three presentations in one: The Boy Who Would Be Khan, An Introduction to the White Scars and the finale to Dual of Riders... It felt like Christmas. My thanks to you for regaling such tales and teachings Brother.
One of my favorite loyalists Chapters/legions.
Der Rabbit me too
"Come fish, (...)" must have been one of my two favourite scenes in all of the many videos I've watched so far.
Awesome channel! I’ve watched many of your videos and my opinions keep shifting, I used to be loyalist, then watched your thunder warrior, black legion, alpha legion and word bearer videos and I supported chaos. Now this turned me back to the Emperor’s light!!! Thank you faithful servant!!!
You really made me appreciate this chapter, thank you brother Boldemort!
No, thank you for listening, broher Turbian. :)
I’m starting to get pretty high expectations for your content and Its still exceed every time great video. Gotta love the rule of cool.
Mr Anderson well, it can’t always be top tier. I’d have a breakdown. So more snacks to come. Thank you brother Anderson. :).
Wow! That far exceeded any expectations I had. That was a grand tale.
I love the long ones. :)
I just came across your channel and Holy shit do I love it. Just finished your Alpha Legion Video, I wanted to fall asleep to it but ended up watching it completely through. You sir have a new subscriber and you deserve a lot more. I'm looking forward to watching through your other videos. Greetings from Germany!
The Law thank you for listening, brother :).
That was awesome Brother Baldermort! I definitely have a new and much deserved respect for the White Scars. This was well worth the wait, well done! I hope you are feeling better!
Tired, but much better for having the music out of my head. :)
Thank you for listening, brother Rogal, as always. :)
Fan-fucking-tastic!! I knew very little of the White Scars and this has given me a new respect for them. Also this choose the faith of the narrative idea is a great addition to the videos! Keep it up!
God, that was amazing. The narrative you spun was a worthy tale of rivalry, and final litany of titles and roles they eventually undertake tells its own story, especially with the implication that each time they changed roles, they still crossed paths and blades.
The White Scars a cool idea that sadly has less material than other Chapters. I do like that they are one of the Chapters described as having hobbies and interests outside their duties, such as poetry and painting. They might be savage hunters, but they also have class and character as they do the Emperor's Work.
Aye, tis true. But if we keep showing interest, keeping bashing thje gong for the sons of the khan - they may well take notice at GW and get more information about the scars to us. We can but try :)
For the great Khan and the Emperor!
This just might be your best video yet, sir Baldermort. Keep up the amazing content!
I forgot this was an hour long video and i got passed the fifteen minute mark thinking to myself dayum this a long ass video.... keep up the good work, the voice work is badass
Glad I listened to the outtro. I didn't realize you had a patreon going :-).
You’re my favorite UA-camr. Spectacular video as always.
Thank you for listening, brother Bottle. :)
I've always seen the White Scars as the loyalist equivalent of the Night Lords. Kinda like how the Imperial Fists are the loyalist equivalent of the Iron Warriors.
I've always pictured The Space Wolves as their equivalent.
@@dominicomegon4714 How do you figure when the White Scars and Space Wolves are both loyalists?
@@Brutalyte616 Which side they are on doesn't matter. Both have similar characteristics in culture and warfare.
@@dominicomegon4714 Yes, but when we're talking equivalency, the line is typically drawn between the sides of the Horus Heresy. Although there isn't really a solid equivalent for the Thousand Sons or Alpha Legion on the Loyalist side...
"Oh, da white wunz goez fasta"- Ork speed freek, last words.
Be not the the rabbit for the eagle eyes are kean be not the fish for the bears claws are Swift... amazing vox report as always
Thank you for listening, brother Ross. Glad you enjoyed it. :) :)
I really loved that line too
That was too cool! Such a gripping structure and as always masterfully narrated!
This is my favourite narration of your fine works, it captures really the soul of the White Scars.
There really needs to be more lore for the white scars
I've been watching Eisenhorn: Xenos' cutscenes these last few days. If you don't already, you should totally get in touch with Game's Workshop to do voice acting on their games. Your passion plus your voice is a knockout combination.
LOL. I did audition for one thing, by recording. They don;t want me. *Shrugs* their loss. :)
@@Baldermort Yeah, more for us. I'll slide you some cash once I get paid.
@@Baldermort Your videos have inspired me to start collecting, by the way. Thank you for the fun.
bebopbountyhead forget me then! Figures first old chap!! :).
bebopbountyhead then go to your local club and see what they are playing and build some bridges my friend. It really is a fantastic hobby. :).
Good luck!!!!! :).
Excellent, I love space wolves but this makes me look at the white scars with respect, nice video .
You should be very proud of your work in this video, your best yet in my opinion. Thank you so much for your continued work
Thank you for such high praise Slavich. I shall do my best not to let you down. :)
Excellent work, Baldermort, as always. It's nice to see the Scars get some of that dramatic flare that you do so well.
I needed 5 seconds of listening before I understood. Your narration is amazing. cant subscribe quickly enough. Never fast enough~
Amazing narrative. Thrilling. I could see myself in the steppes, and i was affraid for both heroes. As per usual, well written, well read. I am in awe. Thank you
I've never heard anyone say "End Quote" with such animosity. These lore videos are an absolute gem. Mixing info and theatrics in a way that genuinely sells the overall tone of the 40k universe. Entertaining, engaging, and informative. You paint such a wonderful picture with your rhetoric, one has to wonder: Why hasn't GW brought you in to record some audiobooks?
Jesse Wood thank you brother Wood. A lot!! It’s just light entertainment but it takes a bit to do. ;).
Thank you for taking the time to comment so generously. It is appreciated. :).
Brother! Amazing. Super impressed. Loved the story mixed into the history. My sole criticism would be some more delineation between character internal monologue. It took me a few seconds to realize what was going on. Loved it, just took a sec.
That ending was magnificient!!!
Suggestion, I've never seen a video on the psuedo marines. Folks like Luthor, Erebus, and KP who were already full grown humans by the time of the great crusade
Not even sure if enough lore is out there to even make a video.
I am ashamed on being late in watching a video about the White Scars. Since you need to be FAST.
It is known. *nods head*
@@Baldermort i have failed the Great Warhawk.
Not much else to say, that hasn’t been said, but very well done Brother B. You did some serious justice with the accents with the White Scars characters, my ear always hears them with an Asian/Mongolian flection.
Very nice touch running the duel through the episode. Your skills are entering epic levels, and I’m looking forward to what’s coming next. :)
Thank you for the high praise again, brother Richard. I am trying new things and seeing if they work out. More strings to the bow so we don;t get bored of my dulcet tones. But I hope to do even more on big projects. Still a long way to go, but there will have to be smaller vids and sometimes weeks thereof to permit rest and prep time for the bigger things.
Sorry. Waffling on. Apologies brother. Thank you for listening, as always. :)
100% onboard with the format. Excellent work, good sir.
Thank you brother Burge. :) :)
The Narrative you created was beautiful! Thank you for that!
My favourite Space Marine legion, done great justice. Thank you buddy. An hour exploring them and Chogoris, the White Scars are one of the most under-represented Space Marine factions in all of 40k, despite being so instrumental in the Horus Heresy and continuing to be a notable presence in the Imperium. You've done the Khan proud.
Ki McKenzie thanks, boss. Really appreciate the positive feedback brother. :).
God damn I love your content!
We laugh, are we so different
I've found your channel with your Black Templar video and I fell in love instantly your style of narration as I believe it to be the most story and setting like. But I simply must ask, are your mannerisms and vocabulary for these videos all learned from where you grew up? or did you acquire them overtime from another source? As I find your method of story telling and explanations to be incredibly enticing and unique!
Thank you brother Requiem. erm, I'm a nerd and have run RPGs all my life. That's it really. Just a bit of a berk really. So lots of reading and strange accents and playing from the roleplay. That;s it. No magic. :) I just respect the factions. Research them a tiny bit and they are all treasure troves. :) .
@@Baldermort Haha, I must say that is a pretty good way to learn that then. But nevertheless it has payed off in full that's for sure. Great video as always and I eagerly await for your next video! (Especially for the one with that continues the story of a Certain Chapter with that gives the Codex the Bird and gives the Heretic and the Witch no quarter, Black Templars FTW)
Found this video as per recommendation by a friend who knew of my love for the Vth Legion. Your beautiful narration accompanied with that awesome voice tinged with the Black Library WS accent just cemented my love even more.
The Lightning Wraiths, my homebrew WS Successor chapter, will grow even more thanks to your amazing video. *cries in over 40k words of lore*
Your voice makes me so happy! The way you invoke the majesty of the lore is just so powerful. You truly set yourself apart from the other Lore Masters. Emperor bless they’re names, of course .
This was a fantastic video, I agree with people in the comments, WS don't get enough love and this videos did them justice. I loved the story and how it tied into our vote a while back ago. It was a really good story and kept me at the edge of my seat. Congratulations on 10K subs it's very much well earned!
Thank you for listening and for commenting, brother Bohdan, as usual. Glad you enjoyed it. I was a bit worried. :)
@@Baldermort Nothing to be worried about it was great all around!
Baldermort sliding a pic of Doomrider in around the 38 min mark, like no one would notice. Hahaha perfection!
Chills.... The audio drama blew me away and I have a strange desire to paint bikes for some reason. Loved seeing the tale of the tiger and the eagle! Possibly your greatest work so far. Eagerly waiting for more.
Thank you for your kindness, as always, brother AMW> :) :)
love the fan story, the duel was the best part, especially the end where the Scar demands the duel of Honour to continue
The voice acting is superb. Mind shattering. That’s why your videos are so damn enthralling besides the subject matter. 10/10
Another absolute fucking banger. I have made these videos my personal bed time stories for the last week and it is fantastic
How have I only just found this channel now? Epic narration!!
Listening again as I paint for charity today! Love this vid! White Tiger and Red Eagle!!! More! More! More! Chaplein Baldermort We need more of this legendary tale!!!!!
We are glad you have returned. I nearly sent out the search party for you. I love the White Scars, very underrated, they have a rich history that needs more attention.
LOL. This one took a looong old time while blessed. :( Hope it was worth the wait. :)
Baldermort's Guide to Warhammer it was well worth the wait.
Love the narrative that you have interwoven through out the video. The narrative provides a unique and much appreciated example of the lore in action. Keep up the good work sir.
Aye, I feel sometimes it is better to show than tell. :)
Not watched this yet but I’m excited. Like a child on Xmas morning. Love your videos, especially the longer ones. Keep up the excellent work. Ps You’re also to blame for a certain space wolves army being liberated from a dusty attic.
garry wharton good!!!’ Wolves Witt the Orks this month. Yes!!!’ :).
If you are playing a game with White Scars and aren't blasting music from The Hu at the same time.... you're doing it wrong.
I liked the ending I think you did a good job of it. It's cool that we can vote on what happens. I will keep voting
Thank you brother Bush. :)
Amazing man! This is amazing quality. I can feel your love for the lore and the intricacy of details.
Probably one of my favorites pieces you have done. Thank you for the quality work
