Hi Baldemort
Woah this is an amazing video, I will thoroughly enjoy it!
Baldermort send noods
The four favorite loyal primarch and there legions I like the most are by order lion el'jonson primarch of the dark angels, ferrus Manus primarch of the iron hands, Vulcan primarch of the salamanders and finally corvus corax primarch of the raven guard. Each with differences I like and that are awesome. The lion with his absolute loyalty is it's own reward and predatory nature🦁. Ferrus Manus for being the emperors iron hand the grind the enemy's of humanity to dust🦾. Vulcan there nothing much I could say but is the human of all the Primarchs, the love he has for humanity is what love about Vulcan ❤. Corvus corax the shadow of the emperor, the deliver and the liberator. For within the all the shadow he will strike to insure that humanity will endure but as be safe from chaos and xenos forces🖤☠. As always be well lord baldermort and thank you 😊 🙏 ❤ good day sir 🇺🇲
Genuine question, is “Transhuman Dread” a real thing?
If they ever convince Cavill to play the Emperor I think Malacador should narrate, and we all know who should play Malcador the Hero.
Hell yes! However I don’t want Cavill to play the emperor but either a primarch or Guant in a Gaunt’s ghosts movie or better yet a high budget series.
I assume all the parts for eisenhorn have been cast already although it's been a really long time before I've heard anything about it.
Agreed!
@@xxchaos315xx6 I haven’t heard a peep of a live action show or movie the warhammer universe being developed. I really would welcome it but I fear for it considering the state of Hollywood and there inability to stick to the rules of a universe.
He has the stature to play Ciaphus Cain......HERO OF THE IMPERIUM!
I think the Emperor would be a wasted role, as the Emp could appear however he liked and often used hosts as "mouthpieces"....
One of the Primarchs, certainly! Sanguinius or Russ (picture Witcher hair) perhaps.
The raven Lord in the earliest days of the crusade: a gentle giant, a man who understood himself and his effect on the world around him. A god among men but still a man all the same. Love the portrayal of corax here and it is now head cannon this event happened, which makes his eventual breakdown during the heresy even more tragic
I absolutely love these outside non astarte perspectives you bring to life in these Audio dramas. Awesome Baldermort!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Agreed, expands the universe to no end
Non-Astartes stuff is always amazing. Even better: Pre-GG content.
"We are the Blades of The Emperor and will always be needed to protect Man Kind, we are irreplaceable ".... one of the Thunder Warriors during the the unification wars !
Emperor jumps them with Custodian Guard... **Surprised pikachu face**
"Hehe. Aaaah, humour based on my pain."
@@-Thunder-Warrior- A survivor? Hmm I thought the super cancer would’ve rendered all the Thunder Warriors mere legend by now.
Thar didn't age well for them
Firstborn: Well, they were flawed. Obviously we are differ-
Primaris: Greetings Brother!
Firstborn: (Nervous Sweating)
Very nice interpretation for Angron one of the best metaphor/explanations ever given to the Emperors actions. Imagine when you are to find the Primarch you created for compassion turned into a hate machine. Angrons fate is one of the best reflections of the mentality of the whole setting. Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim dark future there is only war.
For me the most horrifying thing about Angron is that he’s the monster human cruelty made him. Otherwise sane and normal baseline humans looked at this magnificent demigod, and thought “hey, you know what we should do with him? We should cut open his skull, scoop out bits of his brain, fill his head with spikes of Hate Metal, and then watch him murder his friends!” And other humans went, “oh that’ll be so fun, let’s do it!”
They did that in cold blood. Because they thought it would be entertaining.
That’s the real grimdark.
This is the best explanation I've ever heard of why the Emperor treated Angron the way he did.
I'vr never been much of a fan of Angron. I thought his origin was kinda shitty but the way you described his discovery by the Emperor was magnificent. The Emperor seems utterly horrified, but keeps his composure. Horrified not only what he had become, but what they had done to him. The defiling of a primarch, of one of his sons. I feel like it gives Angrons sudden teleportation much more meaning, as it makes it seem like the Emperor didn't want to lose another son, and in desperation teleported him aboard his ship, rather than out of cold calculation.
My thoughts exactly
All the Emperor haters got one upped 👍
And yet Aangron's animosity to the Emperor could have been wiped clean with but one word.
'The first world I wish for you to take in my name." The master of mankind points at the window showing the world of Aangron's birth, the place that had maimed him and robbed him of everything but pain and rage. 'That one. Bring me this world and the heads of those who ruled it so cruely. I gift to you a legion. Now Go. take back your home.'
@@singletona082 well said sir.
well but then u remember he can force an entire legion of 100k+ space marines to kneel and it stops making sense as to why he didnt just pop down and do it with everyone who was there, he couldve done it and it wouldve probably taken him a grand total of 0 effort and he would’ve gained his son’s trust and admiration, however he just chose the shittiest outcome
To bad that when the Emperor created twenty demigod sons, he forgot to pick up a few books to improve upon his abysmal parenting skills.
Yeah, the parenting skills he never got to use because all his demigod sons were adults when he met them.
Heresy
*cough- cough*
21 sons. 2 were wiped from the record and almost forgotten. Then there's the twins.
The music, the tone, the delivery, all as ever are amazing. The standard this high I'm used to but I'm always amazed at your ability to draw me into the story so quickly. Fantastic tale Baldermort, wonderful work from you and Mrs B. I loved it all.
Wow, thank you!
honestly, humanizing the inhumaness of the astartes and to capture the glories and toiles of the primarchs and emporer.
An hour and a half of Baldermort going into the deep lore of the imperium of man, and covering the very genesis of the 40k setting no less. Truly the universe smiles upon us!
so, that Remembrancer at the beginning... did we just learn the origin story of our humble Narrator?
I like the way you think
Narrating 10000 years of imperial history must be terrible.
@@thecommissarshatisonfirege4193 "fortunately the bad days are over, now it's time for even worse days "
Everyone keeps forgetting the main issue with the Primarchs...The Emperor DIDNT RAISE them...they were literally dispersed and affected by the warp before he could influence them himself.
which leads directly to erda being the worst addition made to the story... not her as the "mother of the primarchs", but her being the reason the primarchs were scattered...
It was basically a way to flesh out the original story. Back in 2nd Edition, there was a short little blurb about how chaos threw them into the warp, and that was basically it.
They’ll flesh out her story too. It’ll just take time.
Honestly, while it ruined some, others it made better. Vulcan was raised by a humble blacksmith, and so, he too grew to be humble.
@@FulloutPostal nah its great. They greatest woman in human history ruined everything. Hilarious. I love it.
The Emperor may have had the dream of the Imperium and his armies were impressive and vast, but it was Primarchs his very own sons that won him the Galaxy. Each one was a master of war and were demigods of battle, even ten thousand years the Imperium remembers these figures of legends. The Emperor may have had a design for each one of his sons, but in their own shape the Galaxy in their image.
@Leo Ranson No, he's spot on: The Emperor understood full well that he needed the Primarchs to make his vision a reality, otherwise he wouldn't have bothered to create them. Each had a role to play (the full details of which we will probably never know) in a design so impossibly vast that it demanded the minds of demigods to see through; it's arguably half the reason the Imperium is so dysfunctional in 40k.
Never forget that he'd allegedly guided humanity from behind the curtain for millennia, had ultimately *failed* to make his utopian vision a lasting success (relative to other galactic players at least), if he'd been able to go at it alone, he absolutely would have.
The purpose of the Primarchs was to win the war fast; the Emperor is impatient (according to the gene mother of the Primarchs). The Emperor could have done it eventually. Astartes were conquering without primarchs for quite some time.
@@Dadecorban whom is the gene-mother, again? I dont recall, I'm afraid
Usually, the only emotions I feel when experiencing Warhammer 40k are epicness and awe. Somehow, this video was the first to make me feel far more than that. Genuinely one of the best pieces of content I've seen on UA-cam.
"Small legion syndrome" You cant just drop that in the middle of everything! I nearly spat my coffee!
The unification wars were truly more horrific than the wars that followed, not in scale but in what had to be done. Although if I remember correctly it took longer to unify terra than the whole great crusade
I thought after the development of the thunder warriors, the unification wars only took a standard Terran day?
@@aviaviavian The thunder warriors were developed as the war went on. Even though some of the space marine legions were created, it still took a while. It turns out the horrors of old night were quite a deal
Cool "What If" scenario- The Great Crusade is a success and the Galaxy is won. What is the role for each Primarch in the new undivided Imperium?
Dead, probably. Big E doesn’t need them anymore and he plans on moving Humanity into the webway.
Assuming they weren't doomed to be phased out and the major internal legion issues were put to bed?
I think that, beyond their obvious continued responsibility as military leaders they were *all* expected to be, it'd be something like this:
-Lion El’Johnson: Part of the Talons of the Emperor
-Fulgrim: Art and Cultural initiatives (and BDSM training)
-Perturabo: Leading figure in replacement of the Cult Mechanicus, and Chief Imperial Architect.
-Jaghatai: Assist and administer the Astra Cartographica
-Leman Russ: Having a bromance with Lion El’Tsundere
-Dorn: Praetorian of Terra and Head of Defense
-Konrad Curze: The dark side of enforcing the Lex Imperialis.
-Sanguinius: Posing in the nude for Fulgrim (and Horus)
-Ferrus Manus: Tinkering with Perty
-Angron: Dead
-Guilliman: Head of the Administratum
-Mortarion: Chief Chemist
-Magnus: Sitting on the Golden Throne
-Horus: Imperial Warmaster
-Lorgar: Head of Propaganda/Witch Hunter
-Vulkan: Help Ferrus and Pert around the workshop and fighting for the little guy with Corax
-Corvus Corax: The Bright side of Enforcing the Lex Imperialis.
-Alpharius/Omegon: Intelligence Gathering, Spy Networks and Secret Police.
@@rickjames9524 but how does one cancel out perpetuals?
The telling of the red angel by the custode brought tears to my eyes. Truely a master of the lore and storytelling in general. Bravo!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hour and half, Primarchs, and Baldemort let's f**king GO!!
It’s really rare to find a genuine love letter like this to any topic/project, never mind for this same level of quality to be kept up and repeated video after video. Idk if it sounds weird, but seeing the passion put into this motivates me to work harder on my own projects. Thanks a ton for these great experiences!
Wow, absolutely amazing. That story with the Custodian, *chef kiss*. I never even considered that Big E did what he did to Angron for that reason.
I despise the yeeting of the primarch’s by Erda so much. It reduced what was supposed to be an epic confrontation between the emperor and the chaos gods to a marital spat. It almost feels as if the chaos gods didn’t need to do anything apart from setting Erebus on his course. I treat it as if the yeeting never happened and the events of first heretic with some chaos gods interference happens as originally.
Agree
If you allow for the Primarchs to survive and become part of the new human-dominated chaos and Xenos free galaxy, which roles could they have played;
Guilleman would be a masterful administrator and bureaucrat.
Perturabo a superb builder and architect of War and peace structures.
Dorn the permanent commander and overseer of the Sol-System
Corax would have written books and retired in peace.
Ferrus might have become something in manufacturing and production.
Fulgrim could work in culture and arts.
Sanguinius as diplomat or living symbol.
Alpharius as intelligence leader.
Vulkan might retire to a peaceful forge.
Russ would bored to madness and drinking on Fenris. 😉
Horus as supreme commander of the armed forces.
Both the Khan and the Lion would be working in the outer Dark, free to ride and exterminate as they would.
Lorgar would take up writing full time to be the single bestselling author in human history.
Angron would be dead and happy about it.
Morty... I haven't a clue.
Konrad would be in jail.
And finally Magnus would on the Golden throne and flying with his father in the Great Ocean.
I thought Konrad's role was to be sorta the "police", kinda like the Arbites?
Ferrus could be the new Fabricator General of Mars. Imagine that.
@@kian8828 In a perfect world perhaps, but the Konrad we have would absolutely not have a place in any peacetime government. He was barely tolerated under a war-regime.
Can you see that cannibalistic, human-flaying monster as a fair judge or in law-enforcement?
Perturabo, Angron, Mortarian, Konrad, Lorgar, and Magnus at minimum would have to be executed or turned into a valuable tool to create a peaceful chaos-free xeno-free galaxy.
Perturabo could never be happy or peaceful because he was too bitter and stupid to be anything else. His inevitable rebellion is crushed by the other Primarches. Angron was literally lobotimized into insanity, and simply couldn't be allowed to live after serving his purpose. Mortarian's psyker hatred would have inevitably turned against the Emperor, and he'd likely be the one that encouraged/rebelled alongside Perturabo. Konrad and Lorgar simply cannot exist in the Imperial Truth. Both fly in the face of the Emperor's goals. Plus Magnus was always designed to be a living battery.
Russ would likely become a skald, as he frequently told stories and made merry with his sons.
@@ZeroNumerous the magnus statement isn’t really true. Sure he would be a battery for the astronomican but that would be such a small part of what he would do. Sitting upon the golden throne in a peaceful galaxy is literally heaven to magnus. He would be the 2nd greatest psyker to EVER live (not including the old ones their ‘lore’ is atrocious). Magnus would have eternity to explore all of space and time in a never ending sea of pure power.
The perspective you depict in this video reguarding Angron is not only the best, but I'd go so far as to say the only good way to rationalise Angrons existence, far too many try to argue that he was just a tool in the Emperors eyes and that the Emperor didn't really care but that conflicts with far too much and also makes Angrons existence a bit of a plot-hole as if he really didnt love his sons, he should have purged Angron, Angron was too far gone and was nothing but a detriment to the Imperium and easy pickings for chaos.
Thank you brother. A lot. I just think alternative views have their place too. Angrons take was myopic in my opinion. And simply designed to assault the person of the emperor. Re: I didn’t think it made sense. So here is my take.
After all, we all just write Rick Priestly fan fic. ;).
They just do it better. ;)
The primarchs really are never given the attention and consideration, the HUMANIZATION that they deserve.
When 7:14 started, I wished that was part of the Remembrancers’ oath. If they have an oath, may it come even faction of a centimeter close this.
Thank you, already a fantastic start!
Blessed be the holy throne of Terra! A Baldermort video on my Easter vacation, HUZZAH!!!!
"Urshotan will always be my true Primarch!"
I’m sure I’m not alone but these histories and stories Baldermort puts together are simply awesome and completely unparalleled by other channels or books for that matter. All I can say is thank you, and please keep it up.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Honored to listen to this Baldemort!
What an absolute treat for the long weekend. Thank you so much brother Balders, you truly are a thrice blessed gift to our community.
The telling of Angrons story was devastatingly emotional and NONE have recalled it better... 😢. BRAVO. BRAVO...
Praise the emperor! Another banquet from best narrator in the WH community!
What a glorious thing to wake up to!
I just never tire of the Primarch stories, lore and background. And I cherish them all in their own way and for their own reasons. I hope you give many more of them the spotlight just like with your fantastic Rogal and Fulgrim videos. This was a one and a hour long treat, great fun!
I often exclaim but that intro was so profound and powerful that no word can express what moved in my soul... Thank you
These are my favorite type of stories. The genesis of the primarchs and space marines. Like the foundation of Rome or Ancient Greece it’s great to know where it began. If that’s the reason he did that to Angron I have a lot more respect for the emperor. Always thought he did Angron wrong by just letting Angron’s army die.
I feel that it's the grandeur of the Emperor and His sons, the vast potential of the Imperium near the end of the Great Crusade, that casts such a dark shadow over the setting's present day. You did a marvelous job presenting their monstrous majesty. A would-be remembrancer falling to transhuman dread? Inspired.
I don't think I've ever disliked one of your videos. One could literally know nothing at all about the setting and still thoroughly enjoy your content, I ought to know - I've not finished a single book yet.
Brilliant touch in using the piece of music at the precise moment of introduction of Magnus the Red.
I used each primarchs theme tune.
I was full expecting this to be loregar well done baldemort
Lord Baldy has once again made a mediochre day into a much brighter One!
When i read "After Desh'ea" my heart truly sank at reading Angrons sorrow and anger. The moment i remember the most clear is the part when he genuinely asked Kharn "Why did you're Emperor do this to me?". Your short story worked so well, being seen from someone else's perspective. It was nice to see that at least someone understood why the Emperor did what he did.
How great would have the Great Crusade been if they just never found Logar....
Lorgy ain't that bad. It's EREBUS, I blame f*king Erebus for everything.
Lorgar wouldn't have been a problem if the emperor didn't publicly humiliate him. He created the most loyal planets and emps burned it to the ground. Lorgar was probably correct and the emperor being seen as divine would likely have prevented the heresy and with his power it would be extremely hard to argue with it
I clicked so hard and fast. I am ALWAYS down to listen to Brother Baldermort.
You have an excellent voice for narration. I really hope you get discovered, and make a bazillion pounds doing this. Well done!
Excellent as always.
My favorite suggestion i heard online for Fenris is that the entire world is a DAoT vacation world. Created to look like the old norse myths from the ground up
I only listened to this. I didn't look until the primarch spoke. I was curious which primarch caused this. Seeing it was Corax made so much sense haha.
Baldermort my old friend, your in rare form today. This turned my whole day around.
Once again you prove to be the hero I needed most. Thank you good sir for saving this day for me. Your voice brought instant, soothing, blood lust stimulating my flesh. Today will be a great day
I am very new to the 40k universe and videos just like this get me so excited to lean everything I can about it. Discovering all of these stories and lore for the first time feels very special, and the entire community is so passionate and involved. I just love it.
If you are looking to enjoy more community created 40k content, you should check out the channel 'A Vox in the Void'. He often narrates professional 40k fan-fiction and has a lot of great content for an update and coming YT channel
I got here early forces change. Already know I'm going to love this, so I liked already! Hello Baldermort! Intro is playing as I type, and that alone is better than most other 40K content!
This might be Baldemorts new masterpiece
I had always wondered why The Emperor seemingly messed up so much with Angron, and this is easily the best explanation, it was to keep his anger, the only way to keep him alive. If The Emperor had done what most I've seen suggested, help him in his last homeworld battle, it would have been his LAST battle.
You’re more talented than the GW writers at making characters seem sympathetic.
Throne of Terra, Brother Baldermort! That was positively orgasmic.
I was hoping for another great entry from our loremaster. Blessings upon you brother for providing us with another masterpiece. Thank you.
I find the Emperor making villas in the himalayas such a bittersweet touch its very wholesome and alittle dorky but i can imagine the emperor painstakingly crafting those villas filling the with things he knew His sons would like plus what would benefit. Also microcosm of a sadness that would expand inffinitely.
Ah the Primarch project.. If only the emperor was working on the #1 Dad project..
But At least that “#1 Emperor” recaf mug looks nice in the Throne’s cupholder..
The begining of this video is one of the best pieces of fan-made Lore (or Lore in WH40K in general) ever made. 11/10
Thank you for using corvus corax primarch of the XIX legion the raven guard, as model in this video. Victorus Aut Mortis lord baldermort thank you, this 🙏 🙌 ❤ has made my day.
How in the world do you keep dropping amazing lore long length videos. Absolutely brilliant.
Brother Baldermort, what a brilliant epic work, and great credit to Mrs B for a great soundtrack. Concise accurate descriptions of the primartes and their motivations. A really great piece of work and one that fans will go back to time and again to check that they have grounded their own work in real substance. As always, bravo brother Baldermort, B3 indeed!
Terrific work as usual dude 👏, your passionate delivery and humanization of the various characters/factions of this grimdark setting add so much to your vids. Keep up the good work sir and cheers! 🤙
Truly splendid work once again, sir! I swear these just keep getting better (Somehow!).
Also, on a joking note, it's actually kinda perfect how Corvus went to go meet a kindred mind who he appreciated and wanted to work WITH, and when they meet, the bloke wails in terror and wets himself. My poor boy Corvus just can't catch a break xD
I've watched this probably a dozen times, and I only just now realized that the Remembrancer at the beginning is Baldermort's self insert POV character. That this is how he imagines himself if he were in 40k. An elderly scribe dwarfed by the titans, scope and scale of everything in the setting, but still doing his level best to convey them in a way we (the human populace) can relate to.
Or maybe I'm reading too far into things. I have been known to do that.
Either way, the Primarch was right to laud and appreciate him. We all do.
This is going to be one of my top 5 favorite Baldermort's videos.
Keep up the great work BOSS!
Merely a few days ago I commented my interest in the Character of Baldemort and the backstory and now Here it is!!! And Nearly 25 minutes worth now that its here!!
Hahahaha!! AWESOME.
Thank You Baldemort!!
That was Amazing as well as a great Advertising for Depends!!
"Meeting a Primarch? You can Depend on Depends when you get hit with Transhumanism Dread!"
MGMT little dark age plays!
You did a wonderful job of sorting out the emotions and reasons behind Angron's fiasco. Bravo, Sir!
God your explanation of Angron broke my heart and completely changed how I veiw his entire story. Thank you so much faithful servant!
Wow ...an understandable and (dare I say it?) somewhat reasonable explanation of the Emperor's actions at Nuceria....I did not think it could be done.
Edit: also it made me cry a little bit
That situation annoyed me. So I wrote up the counter. ;)
@@baldermort well bravo sir, it was excellently written
Edit: the shark comparison in particular, excellent
I enjoyed this very much, Baldemort. This is a story most of us know and love and you've managed to bring something new and unique in your retelling. Thanks for this.
What an amazing video, thank you so much for your work!
Great video as always and I just need to say TERRY CREWS FOR VULKAN!!!!! Need to make this happen.
I really do look forward to all of your videos because they're all done superbly, second to none, truly! I don't like or listen to any videos on chaos except for yours I don't even like chaos but your way of presenting them humanizes them in a way that's tangible. My favorite story you've written, is with general Massena & the blood spheres. But all your work pales and comparison to this one video as a design was Shakespearean in the way that you created it and presented it. Truly just one episode is a work of art. You even included the second & eleventh legion, when anyone else would have just bypass them as there's little to nothing known about them to the best of my knowledge anyway. It is your attention to detail that set you apart from all of your contemporaries. You are the only one who does these videos in a way that's not just educational or simply entertainment, but you do it in a way that creates a true art form not to continue to use the same word but there is no other word I know that can describe it better. This one video encapsulates the art form that is your work better than any other, from an artistic stand point I don't think you can top this one ever. With gratitude & love, Angel of the Light.
My goodness your videos are such a treat. I was do engrossed, I didn't even realize how long I'd been listening. Well done and thank you.
The Chapter involving the Emperor's origins and motives was a bloody Masterpiece!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Wow, what an intro! So much effort put into the imagery, editing and execution of the finely crafted script!
I was so consumed by your delivery I didn't even notice any music, which ironically means it was subtle and yet perfectly harmonized/complemented the performance. Cannot wait for the rest, yet I had to immediately give my praises!
Thank you very much brother. It means a lot. Thank you!!!!
And the master produces another masterpiece once again, wonderful work Sir Baldemort
I’ve been into 40k lore for a can’t even remember how long, and I’ve never thought about Angron’s situation from that angle before. Whether true or not, that the Emperor did it intentionally to give his son rage-fuel to survive is now my head canon.
I’ve seen Angron’s story many times before, however this one was magnificent. Everyone always jokes about the Emperor being a bad dad, and I hated the writing around it because it made the Emperor look like such a dick, which didn’t fit with the character he’s supposed to be portrayed as. Im so glad to see a version that gives justification to the Emperor’s actions here. Definitely my personal head canon now.
Fantastic work as always! You truly bring life to the setting with your videos.
Artfully done with Angron, gives a great perspective of why the Emperor didn’t intervene and save his army
Thanks for the great content, as always, Brother Baldermort
I'm really interested in how you evolve the stories from different perspectives. I love how the narrator perspective of the story hold the emperor as infallible, all mistakes only the result of betrayal. Always outside himself. Always a justification holding him blameless, or the ultimate victim of fate he battled against. But we have stories, perspectives, entire races and empires and nations for whom he is the villain. Who have other perspectives, and whom he betrayed.
The way you set these up as vignettes makes it easy to run parallel stories, of similar events from other perspectives. Your notes in the description are such a tease...
Fantastic entry. The Emperor and Angron story is now my new Headcannon. Love how you give the characters such life and depth in such a short time.
Ugh, the passage including “…to be an Alexander or a Caesar…” just encapsulated my feelings on the Emperor and his sons so perfectly.
Still loving your presentations , mate. Also, the artwork !
As someone who consumes Warhammer lore through channels like your own i must say that you have me thoroughly intrigued. Now to find the beginning and begin reading the books
Your voice! Your story! Your telling! Absolutely awesome! Breathtaking narration!
I know you can bring me down to a puddle of tears and lift me up to bellyaching laughter within the very same minute with just a flick of your tongue!
Thank you! Thank you so much for all the hours of epic entertainment you offered me!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
If there was a standard to measure 40k lore videos. I am sorry, but this would clearly surpass in all metrics. And it was a true pleasure to listen to my good man.
Your work as ever is absolutely amazing, thank you for your hard work and efforts
I've listened to the Angron portion a number of times and. uncaring of the opinions of anyone(save that of our noble narrator) reading this, will honestly admit that I've allowed its telling to emotionally break me.
I weep openly, longer and more uncontrollably each time. Not figuratively but literally...
Tears now flow from my eyes, cascading down my cheeks, falling from my face akin to that of a waterfall and forming a deep & salty sea of bitter sorrow upon the floor at my feet, broken-hearted... Now understanding something from my own life having run somewhat parallel to the tale's recital and explanation therein that I never fully realized until just this moment.
Irreconcilable, not with a son but with a father that has not taken a breath nor even beat his heart once in years now. An understanding dawning on a situation and its subsequent repercussions that have profoundly impacted both the lives of the father and that of his wayward son...
I cry for my ignorance and for the fate that I had forced upon us. I cry for his death has arrived before I could look into his eyes and say, simply, "I understand now, why you made your decision, and I no longer hate you for it."
An agony akin to that of the description of pain caused by "the butcher's nails" themselves.
I suffer now and forever more.
Awww, poor Remembrancer, bad luck that he saw Corax with all his extra warp shenanigans
Lol. Transhuman dread. Not many think about it.
Marines are teeeerifying. ;)
As always Balders old chap good work, love your stuff. I'm back in the office now so I cant listen like when working from home was the done thing. Keep it up my good man, I will be tuning in when painting :)
Such a brilliant oration!
You do this lore more than it's justice in your loving eloquence.
Salute to you, sir!
Such magnificent storytelling…your voice is melodiously dark. Awesome brother.
Thank you for finding a rationale for explaining big e’s bizarre actions with Angron. When it came to angron, the emperor’s action always confused me. Taking your interpretation of it helps. Thank you.
1st. short story, one of your best works Mr. Baldemort and Co.
One and a half hour of Baldermort on a beautiful saturday eve while doing some 3D-Stuff, what else could one wish for?
Thank you Baldermort, for what gift you bestow upon us!
Only one thing more I do wish for in regards to your videos:
A list of the music used, for I need this...
