You know, I can't help but smile at the way life goes; once upon a time, "our Beatties" was where I first discovered Games Workshop products 😊 Anyone else remember them? Thank you for everything you do for us, Baldermort! Thank you for your precious time 👍🙂
If you really want to sleep, listen to Luetin. Baldermort speaks with inflection and emotes and tells an interesting story. Luetin has a monotone drawl, run on sentences, and content so boring you will sleep for hours instantly!
Cool so what's been happening in 40k recently? ...... Total chaos.....death.....despair....total chaos.... Death..... Bad decisions.... Miracles..... Death.... Yep, checks out. Thanks for the update baldy!
Not true, Votans are new and kinda cool......also GW totally was on top of this release and..and...i...i cant lol! listenm my hands have done horrible, shameful, questionable things over my life, but that was too much even for me lol!
@@alecxandergreen2472 thats why there is no story integrity. And when they try to do closure,GW is exposed as bad writers. Look at warhammer end times.
Me doing 48 hours of work 72 hours before it needs to be presented: Baldermort: "I shall breathe new life into you." Thank you Papa Mort, you are my favorite part of UA-cam, most worthwhile Patreon sub I've ever gotten.
@@johnd2058Even when you have to wake up in 3 hours? 😂 I don't know boss, sounds like a blessing and a cur- **takes a bolter to the face** For me, Baldermort is like a siren whose song holds no malevolence; I've got some pretty savage PTSD but listening to him let's me be as close to "at peace" as I could ever hope for, the best stories for my conscious mind and on re-watching, some of the best sleep I have had in my entire conscious life. We all get something from being here 😁 for me, its sanity and a lack of cascading anxiety attacks. How I owe him for this stillness within me...I should increase my patreon pledge...anyway, go get 'em Mr. Motivated! 😂
@@GarioTheRock Fascinating, I never thought The Grim Darkness of the Far Future could be therapeutic for PTSD. I'm happy it can do that for you! Anyhow, back to eliminating all the biomass from surgical instruments then running them through the exterminatus machines...
Your voice always has the habit of reminding me of my dear old grandfather, telling me stories of his days in the Navy - or the antics he got up to after his time in the military. Around a campfire, the flame licking the cold sky, while I rest my head in my mother's lap - transfixed by the story, but his deep, smooth voice, making it impossible to stay awake for the full stories. Now, I miss the time I'll never get back from my rest, but I cherish the memory. Take care, Baldermort.
Don't worry too much about the prior upload, Baldemort -- honestly, I think it's good that we got a glance behind the scenes, see a bit of the process and get a sense for just how much effort, scrutiny of vocal delivery, and audio editing goes into the videos you put out. The polished final product makes it seem so smooth and effortless, but it's good for us to be reminded that you truly labor in pursuit of your craft. It takes skill and determination to do what you do, and your efforts should never be taken for granted. So... thank you!
I completely agree. I think people should put out at least one small unedited video to show just how much work goes in to these videos, or any heavily edited work
I like to think the Nids got really mad about that short story, where 5 custodians fought off an entire swarm.... So The Norn Queens send their own personal enforcer bioforms to slaughter Valoris's golden boys.
I hate that short story. It’s so cringe. Dumb too, the story is based off of a lore blurb in the 8the edition custodies codex, where the original story did not say how many custodian wardens were on the ship. Some some DUMBASS decided, “Yeah I’m thinking 5 custodies is enough” which is ridiculous. Really the short story written about the even is some lore breaking BS.
No one, & I mean NO ONE, can make a story sound as magnificent as The Honourable Sir Baldermort. I mean this was just an epic telling of this amazing story; especially epic was the single line, "I LIVE Brother Captain!" Oooooooh, I got goosebumps & replayed it like five times! Thank you sir for this amazing addition to your already prodigious catalog of legendary tales. Keep up the good work.
I am not interested in the board game or painting but am absolutely addicted to the lore…..I have dozens and dozens of books and my man cave decked out in 40k regalia. For me it is only about the lore, not the game or painting hobby. I am aiming to get an ultramarine tattoo soon. I finally worked up the courage to start the Horus heresy series after accumulating all the Space Maine Battle books (collection probably worth over $1,000), Eisenhorn, Gaunts Ghosts and Beast Arises series plus tons of standalone or trilogy series. I’m addicted to the lore!
I fucked up and read lore too long finally had to buy models That will probably interfere with my lore collecting lol. Read Leviathan and i thought it was good
The desctiption of that last battle between the Norn Emissary and the Custodes - I almost felt as if I was there. Another tremendous reading, you have my thanks. But please, if these videos are taking a toll on your health, don't push yourself.
Glory to Lord Baldermort! Two hours of greatness. I just spent my entire weekend playing Total War Warhammer and listening to Baldermort videos. I regret nothing!
I come from the past futur and i can tell you this vid is awesome, the redacted version was showing how hard work it is to craft it and i think i even prefer it ^^
Who else tried to use it as "sleeping aid" and found himself awake at 3 a.m almost screaming when Captain General Valoris entered the fight? I want my money back! /s This was SO AMAZING! Can't wait for Space Marine 2 wich will no doubt continue the fight!
Hope you were able to get some rest while making this. I wish you health and hope you know we appreciate what you do. Thank you and Ms. Lightbringer for brightening up our days
*Ultramarines getting their Butts handed to them* Matt Ward at the end of the Voting: I’d like to allocate a few last minute points! Nid fans: please stop... we’ve needed this win
These videos are great both for getting updated on the lore, but also for sleep. I've been suffering from severe tinnitus ever since my late teens (wear hearing-protection kids, you'll regret it otherwise) and it's so damn hard for me to get to sleep. Balders is a narrator extraordinaire, the cadence and tone is spot on and that's something that helps immensely with mitigating the effects of tinnitus because it's gives you something to concentrate on instead of that constant high pitch whine. So thank you, Balders, you're doing the Emperors work 👌💯
@baldermort those who do not listen to your lore videos are truly missing out, it is no surprise that kronan chose the very best orator and story teller to be the voice of his story, for only you can describe and get across the greatness and his sheer orkyness of his saga. The emperor protects!
I could listen to you read the ingredients on a tube of toothpaste. I put on one of your amazing videos and instantly i am transported. Keep up the amazing work
Hey Baldermort! Thank you for all your hard work! I had a few rough days of flight delays but I listened to this in the morning while getting some rest and it really helped the time pass. Great work as always!
Friendly note.... don't use the phrase on your wife. They have no use of existing wisdom let alone, leaning it. In fact she took great umbrage at the suggestion. Oddly indignant considering it was she and not I who had crashed into the side of the garage. I refrained from urging her to get the sacred oils and commence the litany of reconstruction when she asked what we should do now.
This was amazing. First thanks to the writers for a fascinating story and second thanks to you lord @Baldermort for this brilliant narration. Things are looking grim, can't wait to see where the story goes form here.
Considering that the Tyranid is coming for all bio-life in the 40k universe, which includes Tau and Eldar, You'd think that the 4 factions would work together to remove the Tyranids or at the very least reduce them to a non-threat.
It still amaze me, that certain sections of the Fanbase fervently believe GW is bad at writing the 40k grand narrative forwards. While they undoubtedly make mistakes or undersell factions, these latest campaign books and rulebooks like Arks of Omen, Rift War and now Leviathan are prime grade lore goodness!
I think Arcs of Omen had a couple of issues, particularly how the Farsight book was essentially a sidequest, as opposed to the Tau having a larger story impact. But overall it was still very interesting
Thanks for these, they are great. Years ago, when I was about 11 or 12, so around 1997 or 1998, I vividly remember walking past the Games Workshop in the Miller Arcade in Preston, and being completely mesmerised by the models, the battles, and the painting, all of it. I would gaze at the artwork in the Space Marine codex for hours. Been playing since 3rd edition, a while before the T'au showed up.
as a child i remember listening to radio shows and audio books on tape. love you're readings. just like the old radio shows your intonation paints a picture in the mind that brings the lore to life.👍 thank you keep it comming
For your efforts. No apologies needed for the last post. Even what you consider below par for your work is better than many. Please do what you can to take care of yourself.
If games workshop or Henry cavil or someone doesn’t request and hire baldermort, then they are missing a huge opportunity to have an immensely awesome and popular narrator or I could see him as a Chaplin, ancient, or other character.
Damn, I am anxious to see how the Tyranid problem is going to be resolved. From lore we know that the bugs struggle against mixed opponents. I don't want to noblebright the setting too much, but epic end game level team ups between factions would be super cooool!
NobleBright is not the next step from GrimDark. NobleDark is. And the best parts of 40k tend to be that to be honest. Still dark, still terrible but with a Nobility in the last stands against the Dark with a shred of a hope for a better future. Grudgingly working together for a shared interest to survive another day to kill each other tomorrow is not NobleBright. NobleBright would be Big Empy waking up from his nap and ringing up the Silent King and having a hug before killing every bad bug with magic tech that targets only them. And then making the Federation to spread hope and Luxury Space Communism via le heckin Science! That would be NobleBright.
Baldemort brother, let me just say thank you once again for getting me into 40K lore. Now I am an addict and just can't get enough. I doubt I ever will again. Totally not interested in the table top part, but the lore video that you, Vox in the void, Amber king, Aborder prince, Wywarn, Janovich, and few other smaller creators make, just make for endless fun. I especially love your dramatized videos and your original stories. One of the best ones for me is the training of a new inquisitor, who's name escapes me at the moment. I was actually here when you first uploaded this one, when you missed to edit about last half an hour or so. I will be honest, I wasn't quite sober, so at first I found it hilarious.. Then as time passed, and you were still stumbling on almost every next sentence, I got sad. I never even thought that it could be that hard, never even crossed my mind. I just hope it was a once in a while thing, since if you need to repeat sentences that often, to get all the words right and also just the right emotion in your tone, and it happens before any video is edited, then you are one of the hardest working people I know. Please tell me it was a hungover or something. If it's such a struggle with every video, then my night shift data entry job seems like child play. I certainly have much more respect for the difficulty of what you do, but please tell me, usually you get things on the first try, rather then repeating 2 or 3 or 4 times before you do it just right with right intonation and all.. Otherwise, you must be one of the hardest working people in 40K lore universe. and your own patience with yourself is just superhuman. I know I would be cursing myself and breaking my monitor, if I had to do it, and was having a bad day..
Just found this channel and I am beyond hooked! Never played the game but I’m keenly interested and endlessly fascinated by 40k lore. Love the long videos to travel with on my long haul drives. Truly epic reading and depth. Thank you!
👍🏻Just as you uploaded a few days prior. This is yet another blessed day to the Emperor's realm that you share the might of our armies smah, destroy, and annihilate the xenos threat before they dare befoul Segemtum Solar. Not one sacred plain of Holy Terra shall see a single Tyrranid touch its holy ground
a wonderful way to keep my mind busy while painting my first ever terminator squad (from the leviathan box no less!!) Thank you for being the amazing storyteller you are and the amazing content you make! You were my reason for actually making a start in the tabletop part of the hobby, and I am still glad i found your channel to this day good sir.
Can we just not call him bald? I know its a short for baldemort, whatever that means but baldness is an issue that affects a lot of people... not really a nice thing to call people.
I love your voice. Perfect for this. It's the story I have a problem with. 2 hours of "We're loosing. We're loosing. We're loosing. We're loosing." and then "Oh. We kinda slowed them down maybe.". GW has made the nids this unstoppable unbeatable force in the lore. Do they have ANY weaknesses? If you make your 'villain' too powerful then you could only beat them with plot armor. May be the writers will pull it off. IDK.
This was a joy to listen to, not only due to your amazing narration but I for one genuinely enjoyed the writing here from GW for the first 15 minutes it seemed like a lot of names and events being read out without much context but it just got deeper and more enjoyable as it went and it intoduced the new tyranid bioforms in a very organic and enjoyable way such that I have a lore based understanding or at least example of their capabilities
Custodes getting rag-dolled left and right. I haven't seen the likes since the War of the Beast! For so many to die, that commander had better be worth the sacrifice.
Brothers and Sisters this work of art is fantastic to listen to, as I enjoy the hobby and I am writing the back stories for my armies. Soul Blades sound perfect for short stories and backdrops for any of the many tabletop roleplaying games. Thank you Baldermort.

Thanks Baldermort, I was in the middle of listening to the upload and in the middle of painting and it cut off :(
I use your content as a sleep aid cause the VA's preloaded SD card is crap. Baldermort, you are just a gem.

Excellent reading, thank you for your efforts.
Damn Hive Fleet Leviathan loves to use lots of Tyranid Warriors
unedit version nicely shows voice capturing phase :) thx for ur work mate
Really looking forward to that Norn Emissary model now
A cup of mead and another Baldermort epic.
*smiles silently*
So YOU’RE the Distractable narrator! I’m glad they mention your name. You have such a mystical voice 🖤
Yeeeesssss. :)
This is really the best lore narration out there.
I always wanted to use story about galaxy devouring bugs as sleeping aid
I'm so happy I get this narrated to me, even though I have the book. Thanks Baldy!
2 hours of soothing sounds while i hobby thank you kind sir
Once again, his baldness has bestowed us with glorious listening. Thank you.
Considering that the Tyranid is coming for all bio-life in the 40k universe, which includes Tau and Eldar,
You'd think that the 4 factions would work together to remove the Tyranids or at the very least reduce them to a non-threat.
Not needed. Nids get wrecked already, without the 4 factions uniting
That sounds mighty heretical
@@JoeSmith-sl9bqlmaoooo the nids are single handedly defeated chaos, aeldari, just beat the ORKS, and striking into the heart of mankind lol
Yes Inquisitor. This comment right here...
It still amaze me, that certain sections of the Fanbase fervently believe GW is bad at writing the 40k grand narrative forwards. While they undoubtedly make mistakes or undersell factions, these latest campaign books and rulebooks like Arks of Omen, Rift War and now Leviathan are prime grade lore goodness!
I think Arcs of Omen had a couple of issues, particularly how the Farsight book was essentially a sidequest, as opposed to the Tau having a larger story impact. But overall it was still very interesting
No they suck Because its always a Imperial victory.
@@JoeSmith-sl9bq Fall of Cadia, Rift War, Arks of Omen..
All big current events. All major losses to the Imperium.
😂 i thought the first one sounded a little rough. Never realized just how much work goes into your videos. We appreciate you!
No time to watch now. Will Like and watch as soon as I get home after work :)
Have fun Baldermort and friends
Thanks Baldemort! Perfect video for painting my Xenos!
Tremendous work, my Lord. Thank you for your two hours of Emperor Ordained and Blessed Content
Epic video as always!
Good thing you reuploaded, as I had 50 minutes on the last upload 😉
Thanks for these, they are great. Years ago, when I was about 11 or 12, so around 1997 or 1998, I vividly remember walking past the Games Workshop in the Miller Arcade in Preston, and being completely mesmerised by the models, the battles, and the painting, all of it. I would gaze at the artwork in the Space Marine codex for hours. Been playing since 3rd edition, a while before the T'au showed up.
The blind jump into the Tyranid fleet is such a ballsy move
as a child i remember listening to radio shows and audio books on tape. love you're readings. just like the old radio shows your intonation paints a picture in the mind that brings the lore to life.👍 thank you keep it comming
For your efforts. No apologies needed for the last post. Even what you consider below par for your work is better than many. Please do what you can to take care of yourself.
What is a dangerous way to reach the attic of a haunted house?
The Monstairs
🤣🤣😂😂🥸🥸
Uncle Baldy, you still are and ever will be my chosen law giver.. i mean lore giver
If games workshop or Henry cavil or someone doesn’t request and hire baldermort, then they are missing a huge opportunity to have an immensely awesome and popular narrator or I could see him as a Chaplin, ancient, or other character.
Finally the tyranids getting the acknowledgment they deserve
Now I need to hear all about a Necron invasion. This was amazing
Great listen, thank you as always B!

Warhammer 40,000, where getting a *distress call* can turn you into a rampaging monster.
Hats off to you Baldermort and thanks again for your spectacular content!
Damn, I am anxious to see how the Tyranid problem is going to be resolved.
From lore we know that the bugs struggle against mixed opponents. I don't want to noblebright the setting too much, but epic end game level team ups between factions would be super cooool!
NobleBright is not the next step from GrimDark. NobleDark is. And the best parts of 40k tend to be that to be honest.
Still dark, still terrible but with a Nobility in the last stands against the Dark with a shred of a hope for a better future.
Grudgingly working together for a shared interest to survive another day to kill each other tomorrow is not NobleBright. NobleBright would be Big Empy waking up from his nap and ringing up the Silent King and having a hug before killing every bad bug with magic tech that targets only them. And then making the Federation to spread hope and Luxury Space Communism via le heckin Science! That would be NobleBright.
Baldemort brother, let me just say thank you once again for getting me into 40K lore. Now I am an addict and just can't get enough. I doubt I ever will again. Totally not interested in the table top part, but the lore video that you, Vox in the void, Amber king, Aborder prince, Wywarn, Janovich, and few other smaller creators make, just make for endless fun. I especially love your dramatized videos and your original stories. One of the best ones for me is the training of a new inquisitor, who's name escapes me at the moment.
I was actually here when you first uploaded this one, when you missed to edit about last half an hour or so. I will be honest, I wasn't quite sober, so at first I found it hilarious.. Then as time passed, and you were still stumbling on almost every next sentence, I got sad. I never even thought that it could be that hard, never even crossed my mind. I just hope it was a once in a while thing, since if you need to repeat sentences that often, to get all the words right and also just the right emotion in your tone, and it happens before any video is edited, then you are one of the hardest working people I know. Please tell me it was a hungover or something.
If it's such a struggle with every video, then my night shift data entry job seems like child play. I certainly have much more respect for the difficulty of what you do, but please tell me, usually you get things on the first try, rather then repeating 2 or 3 or 4 times before you do it just right with right intonation and all.. Otherwise, you must be one of the hardest working people in 40K lore universe. and your own patience with yourself is just superhuman. I know I would be cursing myself and breaking my monitor, if I had to do it, and was having a bad day..
Just amazing how you tell this story/lore in such a suspenseful way. Thank you for for your hard your work!
Just found this channel and I am beyond hooked! Never played the game but I’m keenly interested and endlessly fascinated by 40k lore. Love the long videos to travel with on my long haul drives. Truly epic reading and depth. Thank you!
I was looking for this ALLLLL DAY yesterday, im just glad im not crazy
Black Reckoning is the coolest name for a ship.
Im gonna prime my tyranid minis to this.
What a blessing from The Athema
Can't believe I'm 2 days late to BalderGOAT.
👍🏻Just as you uploaded a few days prior. This is yet another blessed day to the Emperor's realm that you share the might of our armies smah, destroy, and annihilate the xenos threat before they dare befoul Segemtum Solar. Not one sacred plain of Holy Terra shall see a single Tyrranid touch its holy ground
How is this channel not at a million subs yet!?
Great work sir 👏🏾
Best lore ever. Thank you and may you never stop pumping out content!
The Emperor protects.
a wonderful way to keep my mind busy while painting my first ever terminator squad (from the leviathan box no less!!) Thank you for being the amazing storyteller you are and the amazing content you make! You were my reason for actually making a start in the tabletop part of the hobby, and I am still glad i found your channel to this day good sir.
Brother Baldermort again anyother amazing update brother hope all is well with ur back stay strong the Emperor is with you 🤝
THE BALD ONE HAS RETURNED. REJOICE BROTHERS AND SISTERS.
Rejoice
Can we just not call him bald? I know its a short for baldemort, whatever that means but baldness is an issue that affects a lot of people... not really a nice thing to call people.
@@MagralhoPTNo, its funny
@@DINOROAR2912 not really.
@@weissendrachen yeah and?
I love your voice. Perfect for this. It's the story I have a problem with. 2 hours of "We're loosing. We're loosing. We're loosing. We're loosing." and then "Oh. We kinda slowed them down maybe.". GW has made the nids this unstoppable unbeatable force in the lore. Do they have ANY weaknesses? If you make your 'villain' too powerful then you could only beat them with plot armor. May be the writers will pull it off. IDK.
The soothing voice make It even better... Don't forget battle brothers and sisters, Gw is taking the battle report of the fight of Marines vs Nids....
Thank you Baldermort for lending a voice to the tale we all experience together!
YES YES YES! Finally something good from UA-cam algorithms!
So much slaughter. This must be why I feel nothing when I squash a bug under my shoe...
This was a joy to listen to, not only due to your amazing narration but I for one genuinely enjoyed the writing here from GW for the first 15 minutes it seemed like a lot of names and events being read out without much context but it just got deeper and more enjoyable as it went and it intoduced the new tyranid bioforms in a very organic and enjoyable way such that I have a lore based understanding or at least example of their capabilities
Custodes getting rag-dolled left and right. I haven't seen the likes since the War of the Beast! For so many to die, that commander had better be worth the sacrifice.
Get one thing clear Balder, your vids are the best content for WH40k on youtube.
I’m glad you think so. Alas, numbers don’t lie. I’m not even in the top ten in warhammer anymore. Nice while it lasted. :)
Thank you for the content as always Bald
And nice to hear something from the white templars my first army.
Brothers and Sisters this work of art is fantastic to listen to, as I enjoy the hobby and I am writing the back stories for my armies.
Soul Blades sound perfect for short stories and backdrops for any of the many tabletop roleplaying games.
Thank you Baldermort.
