Wow this character took a lot of research but it was worth it in the end. Love to explore the Word Bearers as my favourite chaos faction and I can see why so many of you recommended this character! A massive shout out to @CurtisCCoomber for voicing Argel Tal, he absolutely nailed it!
My favorite character from my favorite legion, thank you for this. I was actually very surprised to find how few videos there are on him, specifically on youtube. Great job!
My favorite moment of lore is when a black templar starts spewing litanies and a word bearers champion starts word for wording it with him before saying I was there when my father wrote it before killing the Marine
A lot of people take that scene and often use it as an example of Erebus being a bitch. I agree that he’s a piece of shit but this is exactly what he wanted learn to become. Kharn might have beat him easily but kharn fell right into Erebus’ plan
I agree erebus was the chaos gods instrument everything he did was done deliberately. He escaped kharns wrath to push him over the edge, wouldn't surprise me if every opponent kharn fought from then on he just saw as erebus.
Argel Tal's character will forever by why, in my opinion, the first heretic and betrayer are not only the greatest novels within the horus heresy, but also some of the greatest within modern sci-fi.
@@DrPAngus I agree. Out of all the mournival I always thought little Horus was the most interesting. I liked how he seemed so unsure about what he was doing. The scene where he told torgaddon sorry as he killed him was great
The voice of Erebus...is like a snake. I love the interpretation. And Argel-Tal, is the sad evidence of the Chaos ultimate lies. Glorious moments, greatly narrated. Ave Imperator.
chaos never lies that's the point it doesn't have to lie the imperial truth is the lie the primordial truth is the truth this is what the story has always been about
@@jessejamesroy0069 it always lies to you. It gives half-truths every moment and manipulates everything and everyone. Even if the Imperial Truth was something created to lie, is function was kill the Chaos at the end. Chaos is no freedom. Is no release. It's just give up yourself and give up the fight for your life. The Imperium turns into the horrible place that is in the present because Chaos manipulation.
@@gabriel_tormentaroja5118 i think it was always destined to become this because as lorgar said the imperium was about compliance not peace so humans would search for religion and there would always be war compliance is not how you keep a successful empire from destroying itself
@@jessejamesroy0069 There are countless examples of chaos lying in the lore (the most prominent one is that they showed Horus a vision of 40k, claiming that this would happen if the Emperor completed the great crusade while we all know that Horus rebelling caused that outcome). What is established in the lore (but only to us, the readers) is that Chaos is inherently self-destructive force, therefore it can't be used for the betterment of a situation.
@@lalas198 one of many possible futures Lorgar admits himself he does not trust the visions but he heeds them same with erebus chaos warns of possibility's, Lorgar also said something i agree with in that even if the great crusade was complete there would always be war because it was won threw compliance not peace so people will naturally rebel and seek other truths and faith that is human nature.
i rather had the impression that they were some sort of "friends".argelt tal saying his deamons name kinda proved that. also argel tals story is of someone who didnt want to be alone and did everything in his power to prevent that (bringing the girl back to life, protecting kharn) and jet he died just like that, killed not by an enemy in combat, but murdered by an ally and someone he used to look up to.
I'll be honest, when I clicked this video I wasn't expecting to watch all of it, but you somehow made me, someone with the attention span of a goldfish on caffeine, watch the entire thing without switching tabs or even skipping once, and for that I commend you, this video is a work of art.
@@FutureBoyWonder Mean, I have ADHD, it's not like I can't focus at all, it's that I have difficulty controlling& directing my focus, meaning I can get absorbed on a good book (or in this case video) for hours on end, but it has to be something special to keep me reading/watching.
@@FutureBoyWonder No worries, I'll admit, just like everyone else in this generation my attention span was definitely damaged by the internet (That's why I avoid things like TikTok and UA-cam shots like the plague, as to not damage it further), so I can't blame all of it on ADHD, but I have been trying to take steps to get it back, like reading, as you suggested. So your assessment was fair, based on how I worded my comment. That said, I like to think of myself as a patient person, but like I said, my patience is very selective.
Mate, thank you for picking up the communitys suggestion. You did well 😊 This is single handedly the best narration about Argel Tal out there in the world. Props to every other narrator. They did the characters justice
This was an insanely tragic story. You made his story so human and added so much information most wouldn’t even know to look for. As a Word Bearer fan, thank you and screw Erebus
Now with AI generating art? Expect a lot more. Seen a video on YT of a guy who just generated a bunch of stuff. He made it seem easy but I'm sure there is more to it. Yet it was some of the coolest Astartes artwork I've seen with the design and colors. Title was like Astsrtes and H.R. Grieger(Spelling. The guy behind Aliens!)
"The First Heretic" (even before "Fulgrim") from all the 40K novels I've read / listened to so far is the one that understands it the best how to tell a grimdark story. It's not about people living in poverty and under a fundamentalist religious governement. It's not even being arrested for something your grand grand grand grand father did and being made a lobotomised servitor for it. It's that the galaxy is huge and largely unexplored and that no matter how fucked up you whole life was, there is always something worse and even in death you can't escape the horror. And no matter how noble your intents are, it doesn't protect you from falling to the darkness as there are forces stronger than your will. It might be your genetic bond to your Primarch, it might be Slaanesh playing with your emotions and just breaking your will just by being close to one of his artifacts, it might be one of Tzeentchs unescapable traps. It's just irrelevant what you do. If a power greater than you has something else in store for you, your choices mean nothing.
I wanna say this is the best warhammer character video I've ever listen too. I've been a fan of warhammer about 17 years now. Argel tal is by far one of my favorite characters in the horus Hersey and you have done a amazing job here. Truly thank you. You have made him seem so human and yet still such a word bearer. If I could make a request? Make a video of warsmith Honsou. Merry Christmas 🎅
I was playing the word bearers campaign on HHL and learned that he and the Demon Raum had more of a symbiotic relationship than parasitic... even tho I hated his death, I did love the subsequent ass beating Khan gave Erebus for it
Hell yeah. I do love the idea that (some of) the word bearers ultimate vision for humanity is perfecting that symbiotic union. The different portrayals/types/methods of possession are super fascinating to me.
Apotheosis. Everyone calls it symbiotic, but his relationship with Raum is the thing the God's not only promised, but feared coming forward: if humans embrace and properly direct their demons, instead of fight them, the Great Game is canceled, as the material and the Immaterial meet harmony.
I knew almost nothing of the word bearers before watching this video. Now Argel Tal is one of my favorite traitor characters. Thank you for this amazing video
Honestly... the background music in the last few minutes of Great Wings sent shivers and sadness down my spine. Thank you for this awesome piece of art.
@@DpathosJ I can hate both. I can hate the game for screwing over Magnus and Ahriman in their hubris, but I can hate Erebus as well as the gods for what he did.
@@kaleoarnold3709 if you like card games then it is a no good very bad game. If you like anything that’s had 40k assets slapped on it then it is a no good very bad game with 40k assets slapped onto it.
The thing that warhammer has more than any other series for me is the humanity in even the most god-like characters. The emperor has a magical creation, but each primarch and their sons have such an immense journey through the darkest and most painful places and events. Faith. Truth. Lies. Malice.
Damn man that was great and Im pretty sure I heard Vox in the Void in there. That was absolutely great. Your videos show a side of the people in Warhammer that most forget. The human side, the side that isn't just a warrior. I really loved that video at the end I wished there was more. Thank you
Absolutely remarkable video! You've managed to cram all of the grim-dark tragedy of A.D.B.'s "The First Heretic" into a single intricate narrative that truly resonates as a penultimate tribute to the richly detailed source material. Warhammer 40K is a breathtaking literary world that rivals the size and scope of anything that the brilliant Tolkien or the timeless Asimov have conjured over the course of their respective lifetimes. The Imperium of Man has always been tragically beset on all sides by the infinitely patient machinations of chaos; and you my friend, have captured it beautifully in all of its multi-faceted manifestations. 40K is an overwhelming universe to digest. You are clearly up to the task...
You really outdid yourself. This was mesmerizing. I wasn't listening to it while doing anything else. It was what I was doing. I think it helps that non-comically evil Chaos is much more interesting. Please keep it up, it really is bringing characters to life.
These men are more than human, and yet are no lesser in bearing to their fellows. How gratifying it is to see these sweet heros turn to sour villians so naturally.
I did not expect this before Christmas, but fantastic. First new upload since subscribing and already love the audiobook like feel of some parts, good job coordinating with other creators as well
Damn ...never expected to like a Word Bearer Astarte but here we are. The work you guys put into this was amazing. The voice acting, writing of script and deliveries and music were perfect. Hearing the long and tragic tale of Argel Tal was kinda heart wrenching at times also fuck Erebus
By Terra another glorious in-depth character video! You are perhaps the only 40k channel that brings me to tears with these videos on transhumans. I just finished the Vulkan video and I was so sad at the end. Keep up the good work! Are you considering doing a Garro or Loken video? "The First Heretic" was my first 40k book and I was blown away. Granted, I was a young teenager when I read it which was like over a decade ago lol. I will never forget how creeped out I was by Ingethel and how awed I was by the Emperor. I recently reread this book as it holds a special place in my heart due to how it details the fall of the Word Bearers which was very believable. I also found Argel Tal to be the only likeable Word Bearer. His quest for meaning and the truth was powerful though Chaos is not the only truth in 40k. By being such a pivotal character, I thought Argel Tal would make it to the Siege...and then I read "Betrayer" and Erebus crushed my hopes. I guess that's another reason to hate that clown...I am a loyalist (Dark Angels supporter to be specific) but I have to say Argel Tal deserved a better death than what he got at the hands of Erebus, the 40k version of Iago! It is so tragic that what got him killed was his compassion as it resonates with contemporary topics. Honestly, I feel the Emperor could have tempered Lorgar's zealotry to reinforce the Imperial Truth and perhaps revere the Emperor of representing what humanity can achieve. Keep it up brother! I will follow your work with great interest.
Wow, wow, wow...such excellent voice acting and shape of the tail. Something very present and intimate comes across in your characterizations that reveals what can often be lost under the grit and expanse of the grim dark. This was touching on so many levels. The road to hell is paved with the blood of the innocent, and the unclean. The sense of loss is palpable and we'll rendered. Well done.
He was my favorite character in The First Heretic and Betrayer. His dynamic with Cyrene was weird in the intricate sense but also tragic ultimately. Aaron D B did a damn good job writing these sets of novels and characters.
Argel is the only Word Bearer who is not a D bag and I really like his character and interaction with Kharn. Great video and love these deep character videos.
Great stuff man! He was one of the more likeable Word Bearers during the Horus Heresey. Post Heresey I think I like pretty much all chaos Astartes as they're generally more interesting and fun in my opinion
I knew nothing about the word bearers , some meme's kept me from liking them more because how vulgar they were, but this has me thinking they would be great to have a combat patrol of them . Thanks for the amazingly talented story .
This has to be one of the saddest episodes you did so far, Sevatar came close to this perhaps. Thank you so much for your effort, these videos are a true gem!
It was hard to keep my attention away from this & multi task. Keep up the good work & I hope to see a video on Kharn. Or maybe even a white scar or ironhands, I haven't seen many on the sons of the gorgon.
Just wanna boost the algorithm along by leaving a comment but this was a fantastic video. Your guest voice actors did a fantastic job bringing the scenes to life and as always your narration was top notch. I usually just listen to these rather than watching but I caught a good chunk of the video this time and the art is also phenomenal. Hope Xmas treats you well and look forward to the next one.

I am happy to say that I like both

Cheers brother! Crank though that overtime and it will be over before you know it!
I absolutely love these videos. I really enjoy how you characterize everyone and make it all seem so tragic.
Yo dude your recent narration and voice acting skills have made these Astartes voices my Headcanon! Thanks man appreciate what you do!
You are the frist lore channel to cover this guy and I commend you for this. Good job.
I knew nothing of this character this was fascinating an just all around great work 💯
One Word Bearer that gave me the creeps, Zardu Layak...the crimson Apostle
Such moving words you make, In the end I shed a tear for him. RIP Argal Tal.
Great stuff man! He was one of the more likeable Word Bearers during the Horus Heresey. Post Heresey I think I like pretty much all chaos Astartes as they're generally more interesting and fun in my opinion
You’ve no idea how much I wanted this!
Fantastic voice acting my guy! Well done!
Wonderful work! Hope there's something on Erebus soon!
Hands down, my favorite character out of the whole HH series.
The word bearers need more love from gw in 40k. They are more wicked than the black legion.
Fantastic work friend. I absolutely love when the channels I subscribe to work on projects. Just great.
I knew nothing about the word bearers , some meme's kept me from liking them more because how vulgar they were, but this has me thinking they would be great to have a combat patrol of them . Thanks for the amazingly talented story .
This has to be one of the saddest episodes you did so far, Sevatar came close to this perhaps. Thank you so much for your effort, these videos are a true gem!
Awesome job brother. Love the effort send details that you go in to.
Once again, another absolutely incredible video. Thank you
Thank you so much brother!
The Crimson Lord, flawed but held fast until the end.
If we are to die, let us do so with *The Emperor's light* in our eyes
@@ChillAssTurtle 😂😂😂
My respects to the effort and care you put into these. Hats off to you sir
I only knew Argel Tal by name and legion previous to this. It got me hooked! Well done!! I'm looking forward to the next one!
This was so well done. I was mesmerized.
Subbed
Amazing. Thank you so much, this just made my Sunday.
All i have to say is wow. This vid is amazing! Really blown away by this!
Whenever these get posted I know its time to paint.
It was hard to keep my attention away from this & multi task. Keep up the good work & I hope to see a video on Kharn. Or maybe even a white scar or ironhands, I haven't seen many on the sons of the gorgon.
The chemistry between ABP and Curtis is... well.. divine.
Ok Battle Brother!
You are now my favorite 40k channel! You just keep getting better! Great job And I love the long time format!!
On another level. You deserve way more subs, we gotta pump those numbers up.
So glad you are doing the videos others aren't, we have enough introduction to the ultramarines videos 😀 😆 😆 and so well done
Wanted to tell you, this has been one of the best 40k lore videos I've watched. You nailed it. The format and narration was excellent
This is another masterpiece , yours are the best lore videos done
Wow! This was the best yet. Thanks for the video my dude 😎
Keep coming back to this vid a great vid for an underrated character
Every video you make has me wanting to work on that characters legion.
Just wanna boost the algorithm along by leaving a comment but this was a fantastic video. Your guest voice actors did a fantastic job bringing the scenes to life and as always your narration was top notch. I usually just listen to these rather than watching but I caught a good chunk of the video this time and the art is also phenomenal. Hope Xmas treats you well and look forward to the next one.
Appreciate it brother!
