Absolutely great boldermort truely masterful the use of the imagery and the music to set the sence as you tell the story is phenomenal, also its great where you mention that you will cover the other primarchs and i cant believe you pinned my last comment thank you
brazen187 thanks a million Brazen. It’s still far from perfect. Sigh. I am still so green. This was my 2 month date from starting lore. It will get ‘sharper’ I hope. But I doubt I can ever top the feel, or drama, as it is the most dramatic story in Warhammer. :). Some more introductions and lighter stuff soon. But I hope you stick with me. I think this style complements some of the more heavily detailed work done by more experienced and talented lore peddlers. :). I’m glad you are ok with pinning. I was a little concerned. Phew. :).
@@Baldermort your vids will only get better with time i wouldnt worry about pinning comments i quite like your style it may be just you retelling a story but its your interpretation of the lore and i think its great
@Armadio OH do try his collected works. If you love the period they are simply magnificent. Old Cicero, a conundrum, I started my studies thinking he was a brave soul with little power to ending them knowing he was a goliath, but his phenomenal mind saw all of the myriad dangers and ended making him more a bowl of blancmange than a hero. Poor Sod. But a great orator. One of the best we have had as a race, they say. :)
That fight is the source of the baddest ass quote in 40K. "If you truly do hail from the realm men once called Hell, when you return there, tell your kindred it was Sanguinius who threw you back!"
Dorn has never been treated with such care and respect. I'm sure he would be pleased to know that his sacrifices are not forgotten. Such unremitting odds
He's the real reason the emperor is plugged into the golden throne...too good? I think not. Traitor khorne legion masquerading as loyal. All his heroics were thrown out the window when he accepted, for himself and his legion, the black rage khorne boone. This is why dorn lost his fighting will for what he truly witnessed. This is why kabhanda truly saved them at baal...
This is it! I was trying to pin down exactly what I loved about this series, but you got it in one. He tells the story as if he was there himself, and this is a story passed down to his children.
It allows you to imagine what it was like every sight, every sound, every moment, feeling, and emotion from both rogal dorn, his brothers, and the men under his command.
Jake Veith thanks Jake! Phew. I always feel like a bit of a fraud. I’m only retelling the great work of the black library in an easy access format. Glad you enjoyed it. ;).
Just a fan of the setting like you brother. Just trying to make it entertaining and accessible. I am elated you liked it. :) Thank you for listening, brother. :)
@@Baldermort Kenneth Brenton speaks with GREAT wisdom. You exhibit a SINGULAR talent, truly exceptional craft in the art of wordsmithing. Please know this .... your modesty and humility only intensifies the deep respect all true fans of 40k must feel. Truly blessed by the Emperor ... and rightly so.
I'm currently reading the Siege of Terra, and it is made even more terrifying from the perspective of escaping refugees witnessing the carnage from Uranus' orbit as Horus arrives with his vast armada.
Many misunderstand me. My bluntness and brutal honesty is not a downside. Someone who only tells you what you want to hear is not a good ally. I feel, the turning of my brothers to chaos cut me deeper than any wound Khorne could make. But I had to stand, had to fight and not show weakness. Someone had be a beacon of hope that there was a way to win this war. Thank you my Faithful Servant for such an amazing account of the truth I could never let out.
As a Blood Angel I've always respected the Fists and the Scars for their part in The Defence and I've always known what their part was. But your voice makes everything sound so much more epic, that I've a new found appreciation for those other legions.
I have real issues with concentration and attention span, and I have an awful habit of getting distracted halfway through videos like this, or losing my place in audiobooks as my mind wanders. Not here. I discovered your Videos last night and have been listening for hours. There's something about your voice, and the way that you describe the details and get into the minds of the characters that I just can't tear myself away from. I'm not usually a hugely emotional person, but this series so far has had tears in my eyes at several points. My knowledge of Rogal Dorn has been almost entirely taken from TTS and a few wiki pages. You have opened my eyes and changed the way I think of him entirely. Thank you. 🥰🥰🥰
I know that im late but you might want to get yourself checked for ADHD, in my case I was diagnosed with it in my elementary school years but awareness for it is still lacking especially when it comes to diagnosing it in adults and it can range from minor inconvenience all the way to making your life miserable
Damn Baldemort listening to you read is better than going to a movie you bring it to life as tho you was the Watcher .. Your Bardric skills are impecable love it keep up the great work
I had dreamed of making the experience better, but my computer powers are weak. :( One day I want to try to make your statement true. But it is far off. :( Thanks for listening, brother. :)
The part of the video where Sanguinius arrives on earth was exceptional! The change in the musical score was perfect. Your narration was superb... Then you literally crushed me when you said "Rogal was no longer alone, they would face this together" It was beautiful storytelling, how you took a triumphant moment and made listeners like myself sad, knowing that Rogal was about to lose his Brother. Bravo!
Well, its just a rehash of the Black Library work. So the credit goes to them really. But thank you for listening to my fumblings. I did love this episode. :) I hope you get to see the third part soon. Its a bit heavy though. Just so you know. Thanks for listening brother. :)
Thanks for listening, Ariel. :) I can only hope my next Primarch, whenever I get the guts to do the next entry, is half as good. I may have 'peaked early'. I hope not. Thanks for listening, brother (?) (Sorry. I am old and don't know how all names are used these days. Apologies if I got this wrong.)
Gimplock thank you. Not everyone likes my take, but it’s just entertainment. A gateway. :). Exactly what I wanted. It was definitely a high point for me. So I wanted others to have that. :). Thanks for listening brother. :).
Sir. The last war story that made me cry was American Sniper. That was 2014....then I listened to this. I heard the angel come down from the heavens. Rogal was not alone. You sir, are perhaps one of the greatest unknown storytellers out there. I feel like I am sitting by an old fire, deeply engaged in a story unlike any other. I must say, bravo. I never have felt such hope in a fictional universe since avengers, endgame, and it is only thanks to your reading. Thank you, you deserve the attention of the entire fandom and Moreso. Absolutely brilliant. Mind blowing.
I need to say that your work is on the level of audiobook. Spot on with the story, speech, music and art. Just an amazing work that even exceeds some professional works I have listened to. Once I will be getting my children about the ways of 40k your channel shall be the way to go. Thank you very much! Yours is a talent truly blessed by the Emperor of Mankind!
My son and i listen to your vids as a bed time story every night. Even my 4 year old daughter enjoys it! Keep it up sir! We love it! The long format videos are our favorites!

Some material is definitely marked as over 18 and I would ask that you be very aware of that when using your account to access the guides. 3.

I sincerely hope that when Black Library gets to the point in the Siege of Terra series when Sanguinius holds the Eternity Gate alone, that they live up to the epic gravitas and scale of the Angel holding against the entire ravenous horde of the traitors alone (along with his epic grudge rematch against Ka'Band'Ha) that you've so well encapsulated and that we've envisioned all these decades.
Marvelous, breathtaking and FOR THE EMPEROR!!! You truly have the golden voice worthy of a Primarch , your story telling is worthy of great praise. Truly it is a wonderful dramatization and I hope you keep making them. Can’t wait to see how this unfolds.
Just want to thank you, Baldermort. I'm recovering post-op in an ICU, and listening to this trilogy works wonders. I was even able to get some sleep thanks to you! Thank you.
I love how you highlighted the escapism of Warhammer and how we retreat for weeks, months and years into the lore. I dont love Warhammer because it encapsulates elements of real life I like, or rails against things I despise (although there are certainly many lessons in things like integrity, loyalty and hubris in the lore). I love it because it takes me away. Last year I told my therapist about how I had withdrawn from many elements in my life due to being overwhelmed, and then due to medication, either despairing or simply shutting down. I had reatreated into the world of the books. It seems mad to think I'd rather be standing on the Ultimate wall, laying into Death Guard with a powersword, or driving a Leman Russ full tilt as part of the Khan's charge towards the Lions gate spaceport - both endeavours that would almost certainly end in death. The reality was though I'd rather imagine such scenarios than face real life. I wasn't delusional or unhinged, and things are better now, but I still immerse myself in the world of 40k and The Heresy in a way that transcends mere enthusiasm. I've really come to treasure these narrative tales - different takes on lore I already know, or things I didn't. They help me get to sleep, then I get to wake up and listen fully so I can absorb every detail. Cheers, Baldermort. Ave Imperator.
Elated you are coming out of the dark place. The mental thunder clouds can be horrific. So I’m glad I could help even a tiny bit. From strength to strength brother. Go out and take names, kick ass and chew gum. And return to warhammer whenever it gets too tiring. Be well. And have an excellent year brother. :)
This was simply amazing. The whole thing! Just when you figured it couldn’t get any better here comes Rogal and Sanguinius at the palace… what a story I’m on an edible so you have to imagine how I was feeling hearing that. 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Bravo good sir.
I can't stop myself from listening to this trillogy, and the ultramar story...they are beautiful and vivid. Amazing. I put these on eveytime i paint. Thank you.
This video alone, not even counting the other amazing examples, is worthy of being nominated for any voice acting awards that exist. Please make us aware of any you are interested in because 1. I would love to hear you narrate any of the Warhammer 40k novels if you were inclined and 2. Such skill deserves recognition
Thank you so much brother Sanders. I honestly know zero about voice acting or any kind of awards. I literally just started using my 'phone voice' from my long history of work and it did the trick? Still always learning and hoping the site gets large enough to permit me to get training one day. Its all just novice enthusiasm from my end. Sorry. :(
@@Baldermort well then it is up to us, your loyal following, to present such opportunities when we find them to you good sir. Would you believe that Amazon actually has a website just for their audiobook auditions where you can check out multiple manuscripts that need a narrator and should they select you, you become the voice of the book and get paid? I'm a member already but have yet to submit anything of worth. Check out www.acx.com when you get a chance to see what I'm talking about. It is literally through your Amazon account that you become a member and contributor. I'm just saying, I would pay to listen to you read so I'll start with the patreon of course but I feel that more need to hear your style. It's elegance, it's passion and more importantly your love of the medium. I just finished the final part of Dorn and I must say I was screaming and shouting Rogal's name at the end. I hold on to that hope as well that they are planning something truly amazing going forward for all the missing primarchs. Their story is not done and Rogal is the one man who could lead them. Oh the pain and loss from that longest second, truly remarkable good sir, truly remarkable
I may be almost a year late, but let me join far too few in saying this video was absolutely bloody fantastic. I was so entranced on my way home that I sat in the car an extra 20 minutes just to listen to your voice work it's hallucinogenic magic. The music fit the scenes so perfectly, and the narrative about Dorn's belief in the dream has had me far more invested than most movies ever will. Thank you for your efforts here, I think Dorn may tie with Vulkan now for my favorite Primarch thanks to you
I never had much interest in Sanguinius seeing him as just another pretty Angel first to die, but this has put in me a great respect. Long live the Emperor!
I have listened to you for a long time and every video has amazing immersion because of how well each piece is so deeply narrated and informative. Please keep up the amazing job
A funny thought came to me this morning that explains to me why this video series works so well and you put so much of you into it when you tell it. I just realized that you share something in common with Rogal. You believe too just as much as he does. For this reason one can feel your faith in him, his story, his hopes which makes you sound like you are talking about a beloved member of your own family and makes this story sound so compelling. This hones your craft as you use it to tell this story with such inspiration and gives your words the power of honesty and true genuine hope. That is something so rare to witness nowadays yet so badly needed in our world. So who cares he´s not real, that´s not what´s important, what matters is the ideals for he which he stands for (courage, loyalty, sacrifice and hope) things which are very real though seldom celebrated. You believe in Rogal because we all know he truly believes in what he does for the emperor and imperium. For this reason not only do we believe in him also but we believe in you too. Good job mate!
Ive listened to this Series more than 15 times now I Think this is one of the story telling of the lore of Rogal Dorn every , outstanding work you have given so much lift to the lore. Thankyou so much
I would just like to say that I have watched this trio of videos time and time again. Moreso that I would like to admit. At first the Lion and the Angel were my only favorites. But after learning of the Praetorian from your introduction, I would count myself a loyal son of Dorn. This is by far my favorite smidge of content from you and I think this has been your best video(s) to date. Interpretation, gap-filling or whatever others wish to call it, this is hands down one of your best works. FOR ROGAL. FOR THE EMPEROR. FOR THE DREAM!
No 40k Chanel holds a candle to you sir. I feel like I'm there, I have listened to these three videos three times. Look forward to a Russ video, thank you for your awesome work.
I always thought that Rogal Dorn was the least human of primarchs. Not a man, but storm bound to flesh and bone. Listening to his emotional side under the stoic exterior from you made me emphasize with him so much.
Never before have I been so invested and lost in the lore of the 40k universe, you truly are the hero of this story, my hat is off to you battle brother
Ikit Claw always remember that these are not my tales brother. I am Just a mouthpiece to the works of others. I just add whistles and bells. But thank you so much for your kindness brother Ikit. Thank you. ;).
Baldermort's voice, vocabulary and narration are second to none when it comes to Warhammer 40k. There's no one else I'd rather have tell the tale of my favourite primarch.
Dorn has literally worked in his way into one my favorite Primarchs, with a large part due to your extreme talent and effort. The Primarchs are flawed Demi God like men, but you make them, Feel Human
Completely outgunned, outnumbered, outmatched. Yet Dorn held with no fault in his resolve, no matter the defeats or pain of grief, he stood firm against the horde being led by what was once his closest friend. And he stood firm long enough for his brother and father to return to aid him. So much was sacrificed in the defense of humanity's homeworld, yet this glorious bastard refused to break under the pressure, and your words did justice in portraying that. Thank you!
posh rocky thanks Posh Rocky. I hope you enjoy the last act. Still working on it. Bit of a gamble at the end. Just remember I’m only trying to entertain. :).
Damn you almost got a tear out of me there. I was close but held it in. OUTSTANDING work, I wish every man and woman living had as much passion for anything.
This storytelling shows so much that is left out from normal lore channels, it adds something that most just can't, and it would take far to long to explain what is added
Kyle Zimmermann thank you very much, Kyle. I hope you enjoy some of my other content. I’m very new to this, so still learning the ropes. Glad you enjoyed it. :).
Baldermort...I have a request...your other videos have shown you have a very good grasp of the salamanders...so my hope for the next primarch you choose to do would be, none other then Vulkan. I understand if it may take a while...but not many youtubers get the salamanders the way you do. Thank you for reading this, and thank you for sharing the beautiful gift with the world. Vulkan Lives, and emperor bless the praetorian. -Inquistor Duncan
Fucking hell! dude.. You deserve an award man. Dunno how this channel has passed me by all these while.. Twas great you teamed up with majorkill for those top sieges in 40k else I likely would've kept missing all this excellent content as I just had to visit after that epic presentation
Baldermort, Ever a treat to come back to the first videos I watched from your channel after nearly a year apart from them. They give me examples of the strength of character I look for in literature, especially as I pursue a career in law enforcement. I eagerly await more releases on Rogal Dorne, Imperial Fists, and of course the Salamanders. Keep up the good work kind sir, and remember to take time for yourself to rest, quality over quantity, it will all add up over time to produce a vast quantity of quality.
another absolute fantastic work from you mate, some insight in the thoughts of Rogal Dorn the best part for me at 44:00 until the end i was at the edge of my seat fighting with Sanguinius.
gotta love when the primarchs get some personality in these, also the moment when the angel just snapped the demons back, i can just hear it in my head, so glorious
Dear God man, this series, your presentation, your passion, your love of this verse comes through in every word. I can not fully express how truly Magnificent this content is but adamantly thank you for it's creation. As someone new to Warhammer but having been consuming all content I can find as if someone starved. Your's is the very best I have yet found in months of searching reading and watching. So again thank you and to those who find fault in your glorious works I say simply move on for you truly are not mature or cultured enough to enjoy such as this...
Absolutely great boldermort truely masterful the use of the imagery and the music to set the sence as you tell the story is phenomenal, also its great where you mention that you will cover the other primarchs and i cant believe you pinned my last comment thank you
brazen187 thanks a million Brazen. It’s still far from perfect. Sigh. I am still so green. This was my 2 month date from starting lore. It will get ‘sharper’ I hope.
But I doubt I can ever top the feel, or drama, as it is the most dramatic story in Warhammer. :).
Some more introductions and lighter stuff soon. But I hope you stick with me. I think this style complements some of the more heavily detailed work done by more experienced and talented lore peddlers. :).
I’m glad you are ok with pinning. I was a little concerned. Phew. :).
@@Baldermort your vids will only get better with time i wouldnt worry about pinning comments i quite like your style it may be just you retelling a story but its your interpretation of the lore and i think its great
@Armadio Old Chickpea. I love his Phillipics. What a mind. What an orator. Thank you brother Armadio. :) :)
@Armadio OH do try his collected works. If you love the period they are simply magnificent. Old Cicero, a conundrum, I started my studies thinking he was a brave soul with little power to ending them knowing he was a goliath, but his phenomenal mind saw all of the myriad dangers and ended making him more a bowl of blancmange than a hero.

Armadio it’s only for the real time buff. So do forgive me if you don’t like it. But I do love his speeches when taken in context. Magnificent. :).
Magic pain glove, should i leave a like on this video?
"AAAAAGGGHHH"
The glove has spoken
*Like*
Who am I to question the pain glove? No one that's who I shall add my likes to your own
That fight is the source of the baddest ass quote in 40K.
"If you truly do hail from the realm men once called Hell, when you return there, tell your kindred it was Sanguinius who threw you back!"
Kerorofan sorry brother, but this quote was during the battle in the Signus Cluster. We don't have the oficial battle at the Eternity gates as of now.
TURBOCHAD ENERGY
That’s badass
Man this so good, i know im late and i know this is a Rogal Dorn respect video, but the honorary Sanguinius feats here is just, 🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌
i like rogals "you are just an idiot standing on a wall" much more.
Dorn has never been treated with such care and respect. I'm sure he would be pleased to know that his sacrifices are not forgotten. Such unremitting odds
The glorious Hawkboy was too good for Mankind.
Dante is tired you might see hawkboy return again if they can craft him a body.
He's the real reason the emperor is plugged into the golden throne...too good? I think not. Traitor khorne legion masquerading as loyal. All his heroics were thrown out the window when he accepted, for himself and his legion, the black rage khorne boone. This is why dorn lost his fighting will for what he truly witnessed. This is why kabhanda truly saved them at baal...
As i listen to this, it feels like I'm listening to one who was there during the siege itself. Thanks for this great work
Now that is high praise. Thank you so much for being so gracious. I hope it brightened your day just a little. :)
@@Baldermort Top notch -the sense of immediate presence is so stellar.
This is it! I was trying to pin down exactly what I loved about this series, but you got it in one.
He tells the story as if he was there himself, and this is a story passed down to his children.
@@Drolgh101 Its as if listening to a Venerable Dreadnought recounting the Fists account of the Heresy!
It allows you to imagine what it was like every sight, every sound, every moment, feeling, and emotion from both rogal dorn, his brothers, and the men under his command.
Sanguinius' arrival made me think of lord of the rings. A sort of; "The eagles are comimg!"
Such an epic moment. Such epic narrator.
Our beautiful Angel single handedly fucking up chaos. This is why everyone loves him.
The bit where Sanguinius arrives had me crying man
Did me too. Tears of JOY 😂
The arrival of the blonde haired blue eyed Aryan ubermensch and his legion dedicated to fighting back the forces of Hell.
I felt my heart twinge when he stepped out.
This video gives new meaning to the term 'Imperial FIST'.
Yep. They are just awesome.
Thanks for listening, brother. :)
dammit you made me cry. "Not sanguinius. Not him!" No other narration has had this profound effect on me.
Ahaha I thought you were just getting too into it but when I heard those lines I too wept, magnificent words, impeccable timing
Baldermort, you beautiful bastard! You did it again! You nailed it! You honor, the Praetorian! Keep it up! For the Seventh Son!
Jake Veith thanks Jake! Phew. I always feel like a bit of a fraud. I’m only retelling the great work of the black library in an easy access format. Glad you enjoyed it. ;).

As he should be. There’s a reason he’s the only one every Primarch loved.
Everyone deserves a part in best Primarch Dorn's story
As a Blood Angel I've always respected the Fists and the Scars for their part in The Defence and I've always known what their part was. But your voice makes everything sound so much more epic, that I've a new found appreciation for those other legions.
Glory to you and your Primarch, Son of the Angel. As a Son of Dorn, I salute you

Thanks a million, Moac. :)
The Emperor Protects!
Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliant well done sir excellent narration
Thank you brother Dougie. :)
Just want to thank you, Baldermort. I'm recovering post-op in an ICU, and listening to this trilogy works wonders. I was even able to get some sleep thanks to you!
Thank you.
Rated I could help even a tiny bit. Good luck! You got this. It WILL pass. All of us are behind you.
@Baldermort's Guide to Warhammer ❤️ I love your work, especially Dark Angels stuff.
I hope you are healing up quickly brothet. Good luck!!!
I love how you highlighted the escapism of Warhammer and how we retreat for weeks, months and years into the lore. I dont love Warhammer because it encapsulates elements of real life I like, or rails against things I despise (although there are certainly many lessons in things like integrity, loyalty and hubris in the lore). I love it because it takes me away. Last year I told my therapist about how I had withdrawn from many elements in my life due to being overwhelmed, and then due to medication, either despairing or simply shutting down. I had reatreated into the world of the books. It seems mad to think I'd rather be standing on the Ultimate wall, laying into Death Guard with a powersword, or driving a Leman Russ full tilt as part of the Khan's charge towards the Lions gate spaceport - both endeavours that would almost certainly end in death. The reality was though I'd rather imagine such scenarios than face real life. I wasn't delusional or unhinged, and things are better now, but I still immerse myself in the world of 40k and The Heresy in a way that transcends mere enthusiasm. I've really come to treasure these narrative tales - different takes on lore I already know, or things I didn't. They help me get to sleep, then I get to wake up and listen fully so I can absorb every detail. Cheers, Baldermort. Ave Imperator.
Elated you are coming out of the dark place. The mental thunder clouds can be horrific. So I’m glad I could help even a tiny bit.
From strength to strength brother. Go out and take names, kick ass and chew gum. And return to warhammer whenever it gets too tiring.
Be well. And have an excellent year brother. :)
This was simply amazing. The whole thing! Just when you figured it couldn’t get any better here comes Rogal and Sanguinius at the palace… what a story I’m on an edible so you have to imagine how I was feeling hearing that. 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Bravo good sir.
Great video... but it's about to be saddest moment... that rogal couldn't have ever predicted...
Aye. The longest second looms. :(
Thanks for listening, brother. :)
I can't stop myself from listening to this trillogy, and the ultramar story...they are beautiful and vivid. Amazing. I put these on eveytime i paint. Thank you.
Great work! Love the style!
Niall001 thanks Niall. :).
This video alone, not even counting the other amazing examples, is worthy of being nominated for any voice acting awards that exist. Please make us aware of any you are interested in because 1. I would love to hear you narrate any of the Warhammer 40k novels if you were inclined and 2. Such skill deserves recognition
Thank you so much brother Sanders. I honestly know zero about voice acting or any kind of awards. I literally just started using my 'phone voice' from my long history of work and it did the trick? Still always learning and hoping the site gets large enough to permit me to get training one day. Its all just novice enthusiasm from my end. Sorry. :(
@@Baldermort well then it is up to us, your loyal following, to present such opportunities when we find them to you good sir. Would you believe that Amazon actually has a website just for their audiobook auditions where you can check out multiple manuscripts that need a narrator and should they select you, you become the voice of the book and get paid? I'm a member already but have yet to submit anything of worth. Check out www.acx.com when you get a chance to see what I'm talking about. It is literally through your Amazon account that you become a member and contributor. I'm just saying, I would pay to listen to you read so I'll start with the patreon of course but I feel that more need to hear your style. It's elegance, it's passion and more importantly your love of the medium. I just finished the final part of Dorn and I must say I was screaming and shouting Rogal's name at the end. I hold on to that hope as well that they are planning something truly amazing going forward for all the missing primarchs. Their story is not done and Rogal is the one man who could lead them. Oh the pain and loss from that longest second, truly remarkable good sir, truly remarkable
I may be almost a year late, but let me join far too few in saying this video was absolutely bloody fantastic. I was so entranced on my way home that I sat in the car an extra 20 minutes just to listen to your voice work it's hallucinogenic magic. The music fit the scenes so perfectly, and the narrative about Dorn's belief in the dream has had me far more invested than most movies ever will. Thank you for your efforts here, I think Dorn may tie with Vulkan now for my favorite Primarch thanks to you
Fantastic! You definitely hit the tone, the drama and the tragedy that is warhammer. Well done sir!
By god, I've been up and down on the emotional rollercoaster. Now 'this' is story telling. Onwards onto part III!!!!!!
daverage47 ah. The best for last. :£.
I never had much interest in Sanguinius seeing him as just another pretty Angel first to die, but this has put in me a great respect. Long live the Emperor!
The feels!!!! The feels!!! sanguinius nominated for best primarch
music + sanguinius arrival and amazing wording gave me so many chills
Although I know the story and have heard this multiple times, when Sanguinis shows up I get goosebumps everytime
I have listened to you for a long time and every video has amazing immersion because of how well each piece is so deeply narrated and informative. Please keep up the amazing job
The most epic battle in the history of fiction: the Siege of Terra. Only Dorn could have secured even a pyrrhic victory.
As a newcomer to 40k this series is terrific. It really helps to understand and appreciate the deep writing.
Your story telling is worth atleast 40k subscribers! Best painting companion. - thanks
Thank you. :) And exactly what I was aiming at. Painting prop was all I ever wanted for my fellow warhammer fans. :)
The Emporer himself knows your name, Iterator. You bring glory to the Imperium
I appreciate you saying you are at our disposal. It shows great humility fitting for this primarch and this video.
This is amazing. Baldermort you have taken the Lore and made it THEATER. So engaging,so engrossing,you give it such LIFE!
A funny thought came to me this morning that explains to me why this video series works so well and you put so much of you into it when you tell it. I just realized that you share something in common with Rogal. You believe too just as much as he does. For this reason one can feel your faith in him, his story, his hopes which makes you sound like you are talking about a beloved member of your own family and makes this story sound so compelling. This hones your craft as you use it to tell this story with such inspiration and gives your words the power of honesty and true genuine hope. That is something so rare to witness nowadays yet so badly needed in our world. So who cares he´s not real, that´s not what´s important, what matters is the ideals for he which he stands for (courage, loyalty, sacrifice and hope) things which are very real though seldom celebrated. You believe in Rogal because we all know he truly believes in what he does for the emperor and imperium. For this reason not only do we believe in him also but we believe in you too.
Good job mate!
This is told so vividly and patiently. Thank you
Ive listened to this Series more than 15 times now I Think this is one of the story telling of the lore of Rogal Dorn every , outstanding work you have given so much lift to the lore.
Thankyou so much
I would just like to say that I have watched this trio of videos time and time again. Moreso that I would like to admit.
At first the Lion and the Angel were my only favorites. But after learning of the Praetorian from your introduction, I would count myself a loyal son of Dorn. This is by far my favorite smidge of content from you and I think this has been your best video(s) to date.
Interpretation, gap-filling or whatever others wish to call it, this is hands down one of your best works.
FOR ROGAL. FOR THE EMPEROR.
FOR THE DREAM!
Thanks for the Video, been looking forward to this.
Aserbic thanks. I really hope you like act III. The last one in this topic. Promise :). B.
No 40k Chanel holds a candle to you sir. I feel like I'm there, I have listened to these three videos three times. Look forward to a Russ video, thank you for your awesome work.
Thank you for all of your kindness brother. :).
I always thought that Rogal Dorn was the least human of primarchs. Not a man, but storm bound to flesh and bone. Listening to his emotional side under the stoic exterior from you made me emphasize with him so much.
Never before have I been so invested and lost in the lore of the 40k universe, you truly are the hero of this story, my hat is off to you battle brother
Ikit Claw always remember that these are not my tales brother. I am
Just a mouthpiece to the works of others. I just add whistles and bells.
But thank you so much for your kindness brother Ikit. Thank you. ;).
@@Baldermort you could read a phone book and make it riveting
There are so many quality 40k lore youtubers but you by friend might be the best!
FusionHAA incredibly kind of you. So many good ones out there to chose from though, as you say. :).
Baldermort's voice, vocabulary and narration are second to none when it comes to Warhammer 40k. There's no one else I'd rather have tell the tale of my favourite primarch.
Dorn has literally worked in his way into one my favorite Primarchs, with a large part due to your extreme talent and effort.
The Primarchs are flawed Demi God like men, but you make them, Feel Human
Completely outgunned, outnumbered, outmatched. Yet Dorn held with no fault in his resolve, no matter the defeats or pain of grief, he stood firm against the horde being led by what was once his closest friend. And he stood firm long enough for his brother and father to return to aid him.
So much was sacrificed in the defense of humanity's homeworld, yet this glorious bastard refused to break under the pressure, and your words did justice in portraying that. Thank you!
I cannot stop listening to your content. This is the second time I got goosebumps listening to your story retelling. Masterful narration. Genius.
I will say the first time was towards the end of your Lion video.
My God man! Your telling of The Demon vs The Angel...Masterful!
This is truly the greatest work in the history of Warhammer 40k.
Excellent videos brother!!! Keep it up!
Loving your work. This is fantastic. Wonderful work, fantastic
posh rocky thanks Posh Rocky. I hope you enjoy the last act. Still working on it. Bit of a gamble at the end. Just remember I’m only trying to entertain. :).
Yes and you’re succeeding in spades.
Running through the playlists again. Best narrator on the UA-cam platform
Damn you almost got a tear out of me there. I was close but held it in. OUTSTANDING work, I wish every man and woman living had as much passion for anything.
Sanguineous: Dorn, on your left *The entire Blood Angels chapter arrives*
Dorn: Your entire legion arriving exactly to the left of me during orbital reentry would be highly illogical brother
Hard to believe I nearly passed on this channel because of the channel icon. Didnt look serious. That narration is magical
Nicolas Maltais oh, but I’m not serious. It’s just a fun channel. :). Thanks for listening. :).
@@Baldermort the sheer quality of that work makes it serious.
Love listening to your videos in traffic and when building my White Scars! Can’t wait for the full saga of the Khan will be told!
This storytelling shows so much that is left out from normal lore channels, it adds something that most just can't, and it would take far to long to explain what is added
Thank you for your dedication and devotion my brother.
Dude your way of telling these stories is just amazing I love listening to this and i'm not even into 40k (before this)
I just spent the last two hours listening to these and cleaning my house...NAY...
FORTIFYING IT
Bravo, as a connoisseur of 40k lore I was delighted with your flavorful telling of Rogal Dorn.
Kyle Zimmermann thank you very much, Kyle. I hope you enjoy some of my other content. I’m very new to this, so still learning the ropes. Glad you enjoyed it. :).
Baldermort...I have a request...your other videos have shown you have a very good grasp of the salamanders...so my hope for the next primarch you choose to do would be, none other then Vulkan. I understand if it may take a while...but not many youtubers get the salamanders the way you do. Thank you for reading this, and thank you for sharing the beautiful gift with the world.
Vulkan Lives, and emperor bless the praetorian.
-Inquistor Duncan
Fucking hell! dude.. You deserve an award man.
Dunno how this channel has passed me by all these while.. Twas great you teamed up with majorkill for those top sieges in 40k else I likely would've kept missing all this excellent content as I just had to visit after that epic presentation
Baldermort,
Ever a treat to come back to the first videos I watched from your channel after nearly a year apart from them. They give me examples of the strength of character I look for in literature, especially as I pursue a career in law enforcement. I eagerly await more releases on Rogal Dorne, Imperial Fists, and of course the Salamanders. Keep up the good work kind sir, and remember to take time for yourself to rest, quality over quantity, it will all add up over time to produce a vast quantity of quality.
Thank you so much for that. It’s was truly epic in terms of compelling story and voice delivery. I enjoyed that very much.
"I hereby petition the High
Lords of Terra to have Baldermort's name engraved in the Halls of Lore."
I had been saving this series of yours for a while now, awaiting the right weekend to listen in. What a treat.
another absolute fantastic work from you mate, some insight in the thoughts of Rogal Dorn the best part for me at 44:00 until the end i was at the edge of my seat fighting with Sanguinius.
As if we were there... Outstanding! Never thought I'll shed tears for a board-game lore, but here we are...
gotta love when the primarchs get some personality in these, also the moment when the angel just snapped the demons back, i can just hear it in my head, so glorious
This is an absolute masterpiece of storytelling!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
The passion music and narrative power make this a master piece
Dear God man, this series, your presentation, your passion, your love of this verse comes through in every word.
I can not fully express how truly Magnificent this content is but adamantly thank you for it's creation. As someone new to Warhammer but having been consuming all content I can find as if someone starved. Your's is the very best I have yet found in months of searching reading and watching. So again thank you and to those who find fault in your glorious works I say simply move on for you truly are not mature or cultured enough to enjoy such as this...
