How timely! I had just listened to a 40k podcast not too long ago that mentioned the High Lords and wanted to learn more about them. And instead of waiting for them to make an episode on the subject you seem to have beat them to the punch! As always, well done Baldemort.
I just wanted to add my voice to the algorithm gods; thank you Baldemort! I admit to have not played the physical wargame, but through TH-cam (and some audible books) I've gotten really into the lore and lurked in the subs. I just wanted to say I really appreciate how you approach discussing lore in a more 'living' way! I watch a few channels, but yours is always special for the additional gravitas you lend to a narration that's more present tense. I'm bad at appeasing the algorithm, but I do enjoy every insight :)
what an absolute banger, the closing statement about their betrayal of The Avenging Son was so powerful and really brought home the sheer ridiculousnes of the imperium.
Well, one has to figure that their lifespans are so short in comparison to all that is going on that the individual person holding the role probably doesn't mean all that much. It really is the seat and title that matters. Plus-- the things they deal with should be so far from the action the stories should be focusing on, that it can't help but feel shoe-horned in whenever they appear.
@@TheHobgoblynunless taken out violently the high lords have the highest levels of lifespans due to augmentations, easily clearing several hundred years but at the same time they aren’t astartes so naturally they just care less and less putting personal stuff at higher priority
0:04 (My internal monologue) "Did the festive servoskull just say 'terror'? What Britishness is this?" 0:05 "..."Actually, that makes perfect sense. How very droll!"
I LOVE this channel! I stumbled recently over Warhammer and found this channel and it's content simply wonderful and highly entertaining! Plus you, dear Sir, have an absolutely amazing voice! Please keep these video jewels coming! 😊😊👍👍👍
Baldermort, I listen to your channel every day in my car on my commute to work. I’m a casual fan of the lore and only play the video games but I haven’t found a channel on TH-cam I enjoy as much as yours. You make the long boring nights of a cop in the rural farmlands of my state enjoyable
Thank you for the excellent lore content as always brother. You really push across how disconnected the High Lords are from even such people as planetary governors and the like in their power and ambition. It's amazing really that with so few people being able to make certain decisions and authorize the use of certain assets that anything gets done at all, and that the Imperium has not totally collapsed from just delays in the paperwork process.
I have 2 theories about lost primarchs : 1) they are locked somewhere in the vaults of Terra and guarded by custodes, since they are mutated abominations , because they are the first ones that have been made and of course something went terribly wrong. 2) Second theory (my favorite) Emperor could not have made the primarchs without the help of Erda, but in return she asked two primarchs to be made by her design. Because we know that her vision of humanity did not always align with Emperor's. Plot twist 1: they might not be demi-gods of warrior aspect ,or not just of war aspect like all 20 others are - since war is not the only purpose for humanity and it should not be humanity's only destiny. There are other things that we need like mercy, healing, care of nature , arts, knowledge. That will all come once Crusade is completed. And there needs to be a balance for humanity to thrive. A some destiny beyond endless war, when the time comes to rebuild and grow. To heal. And perhaps there is a special type of Primarch-like being that excels in those things - art, poetry, nature, healing. Plot twist 2 : they do not have to be male. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
@@VanagandrAngrit’s been mentioned here and there that they and their legions were purged by the emperor. What their crimes were, no body would discuss it
Once again a simply sublime & powerful history of the lore please keep up your good work as without doubt it is a audio & visual feast every single time thank you again for posting wonderful stuff
Great summation of a hugely complex topic! It is very easy to belittle and meme on the High Lords, but the sheer fucking weight of the smallest matter they deal with.... These beings rule so vast domains and holds such vast powers it strains the mind. Consider this; Every major High-Lord owns fortresses, armies, spy-agencies and much more. They are Grand Kings of galaxy-wide domains, who each represent something crucial to the Empires existence.
The gall on those rebel lords. "Hey this guy has led us for thousands of years but fuck itt let's turn against him. I'm sure that won't land me as a medicae servitor for eternity."
Always knew of Warhammer and got more interest in he past couple of years and been wanting to know more. Not being horrible to other creators of lore, but I have not found them as engaging as your content, plus what a voice you have Baldermort. Big shout out to Jeremy Jahns and his latest video about Henry Cavill bringing Warhammer to the screen, as he recommended you in high regard and I had to come to your channel immediately and I got to say it's one of the easiest subscriptions I have ever made, absolutely love what I have seen so far and looking forward to go through all your content so far and what is yet to come. I do have a multi question, what is your opinion of Henry Cavill wanting to bring Warhammer 40k as a series or franchise, especially when Henry is a massive fan, plus what would you like to see, especially if done right?
What an amazing break down of the what, where, why, who of the high lord's. This video was like a nice steak dinner, helps that I ate a nice steak lunch while watching it, lol
Wanted to know the lore of the High Lords. Wasted 20 minutes on other paltry channels. Realized I had forgotten, The Baldemort. Found, again, exactly what I was looking for here...
Brother Baldermort, sorry this is a little late, as always great stuff, how on Terra do you keep your quality so magnificently high, week after week, year upon year? You and your family are absolute heroes. BBB, BBB INDEED 🎉
Thanks brother Day. I work hard. But then, your own writing is better. I’ll never see the response due to how TH-cam works. Could you sling me a brief email with an update? Not pressuring you, it’s just that I take my break in January. If we could get a copy done by then I’d be able to get right on it on my ‘off’ break? But do mail.
Would love to see more exposure of the Highlords and the Senatoris Imperialis in the lore. A whole political book series in a similar vein to the 40k crime series would be cool. Had my fill of bolter porn and alot of the new non heresay stuff is trending downwards.
Had your fill of Bolter Prons? May I interest you in some Softcore Lasgun instead? Maybe even a bit of Hardcore Chainsword? Fine, that doesn't get you all Hot and Bothered? How about some Twerking Melters? Look, we've even got some "Help Step Brother, I'm an innocent Titan and I got stuck my head stuck under the Bed" if that interests you. If none of this tickles your fancy, we keep the Slaanesh-y stuff behind that door marked "Airlock"
The closest you can get to that right now would be Chris Wraight's "Emperors Legion" series. Both books in that are great, and one out of the three pov characters is supremely highly placed in the Senatorum Imperialis.
I had always considered the High Lords as near traitors in their own right and dead weight around the Imperium's neck. Still. I'm grateful for the video Baldamort. Especially after the unfortunate hoodwinking you were subjected to, it is good to hear your voice.
The high lords of Terra better start looking over their shoulders for we know what's coming, Himself Lord uncle Baldy is on the trail, (the trail of the lonesome pine?). I STILL think you should do audio for the black library, nobody will be using your audio as a sleeping aid, hell no, (unless the weirdos like halloween), there is something beautiful about listening to your reading of the tale, and the colour you bring to your own work is amazing. I'm reading legacy of caliban and I've put that down to listen to this, I think that proves my point. Thank you sir, just what we need on an evening where the nights are drawing in, it seems like a perfect backdrop.
I do like the concept of the High Lords, and echo that I think they should be expanded upon. Let's see the point of a minor senator trying to court one of the Twelve, and stay in good ordure. Then again, I would also like to see the Nova Terra Interregnum expanded on. An entire quarter of the Galaxy rebels, Chapters upon Chapters are deployed, it lasts Throne knows how long, and all we know is that it's "eventually supressed". BAH!
There are so many eras of the Imperium that are very unexplored, we only know era 41/42nd millenium, and a very basic outlook of the Age of Apostasy, but that's about it. Books set in the cusp of the Imperium, the moment when the Ministorum started to rise but where the Imperial Truth was still very much the primordial law would be very interesting : clash of epic proportion between the two camps, which I'm certain happend at some point or another.
Thank you for this gothic bed time story Uncle Boldemort! Blood for the Blood God! Skulls for the Skull Thrown! Farts for the Inquisition! Comments for the Algorithm!
I know the high lords of Terra are supposed to be scary and powerful people, but every time I see a picture of them I can only think of their counterparts from TTS

Very happy to have you back to videos! I hope you are doing well!
Immediately picture the line up of old guys from TTS.
"He is God"
"You don't Kludge God without his express approbation"
"I AM THE LAWN!" -a definitely not senlie High Lord
How timely! I had just listened to a 40k podcast not too long ago that mentioned the High Lords and wanted to learn more about them. And instead of waiting for them to make an episode on the subject you seem to have beat them to the punch! As always, well done Baldemort.
Which podcast?
@@cyprus1005 Adeptus Ridiculous
Wow. Incredible vid
I just wanted to add my voice to the algorithm gods; thank you Baldemort!
I admit to have not played the physical wargame, but through TH-cam (and some audible books) I've gotten really into the lore and lurked in the subs.
I just wanted to say I really appreciate how you approach discussing lore in a more 'living' way! I watch a few channels, but yours is always special for the additional gravitas you lend to a narration that's more present tense.
I'm bad at appeasing the algorithm, but I do enjoy every insight :)
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Nobody, and I mean nobody, needs to play the game to enjoy the setting and community.
Thank you for all of your support sister Chambers. :)
what an absolute banger, the closing statement about their betrayal of The Avenging Son was so powerful and really brought home the sheer ridiculousnes of the imperium.
Gotta give them credit. Never had a group had so much influence on a setting without having but a handful of actual appearances in all the medias.
Well, one has to figure that their lifespans are so short in comparison to all that is going on that the individual person holding the role probably doesn't mean all that much. It really is the seat and title that matters. Plus-- the things they deal with should be so far from the action the stories should be focusing on, that it can't help but feel shoe-horned in whenever they appear.
@@TheHobgoblynunless taken out violently the high lords have the highest levels of lifespans due to augmentations, easily clearing several hundred years but at the same time they aren’t astartes so naturally they just care less and less putting personal stuff at higher priority
0:04 (My internal monologue) "Did the festive servoskull just say 'terror'? What Britishness is this?"
0:05 "..."Actually, that makes perfect sense. How very droll!"
I LOVE this channel!
I stumbled recently over Warhammer and found this channel and it's content simply wonderful and highly entertaining!
Plus you, dear Sir, have an absolutely amazing voice!
Please keep these video jewels coming! 😊😊👍👍👍
Baldermort, I listen to your channel every day in my car on my commute to work. I’m a casual fan of the lore and only play the video games but I haven’t found a channel on TH-cam I enjoy as much as yours. You make the long boring nights of a cop in the rural farmlands of my state enjoyable
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
0cules implerius it's also a emperor level. arch Warhammer the siege of vrak. Is incredible individual battles and Logistics pretty good comedy.
what a fantastic voice you have. Perfect for the subject matter or any documentary really lol
Having a super rough day today, thank you for the upload. Your videos are alwats extremely calming and enjoyable, once again thank you.
I appreciate this channel's schtick. Fine work.
Thank you for the excellent lore content as always brother. You really push across how disconnected the High Lords are from even such people as planetary governors and the like in their power and ambition. It's amazing really that with so few people being able to make certain decisions and authorize the use of certain assets that anything gets done at all, and that the Imperium has not totally collapsed from just delays in the paperwork process.
Waited for this video for so long! I'd love to see an explanation of robute's resurrection and the characters that played a major part in this.
32m10s: The best description of Imperial nobility I've ever heard. Well put, sir.
Could you imagine if both the"lost brothers" were just locked in terra and they finally get out... THAT would be a game changer
I have 2 theories about lost primarchs :
1) they are locked somewhere in the vaults of Terra and guarded by custodes, since they are mutated abominations , because they are the first ones that have been made and of course something went terribly wrong.
2) Second theory (my favorite) Emperor could not have made the primarchs without the help of Erda, but in return she asked two primarchs to be made by her design. Because we know that her vision of humanity did not always align with Emperor's. Plot twist 1: they might not be demi-gods of warrior aspect ,or not just of war aspect like all 20 others are - since war is not the only purpose for humanity and it should not be humanity's only destiny. There are other things that we need like mercy, healing, care of nature , arts, knowledge. That will all come once Crusade is completed. And there needs to be a balance for humanity to thrive. A some destiny beyond endless war, when the time comes to rebuild and grow. To heal. And perhaps there is a special type of Primarch-like being that excels in those things - art, poetry, nature, healing.
Plot twist 2 : they do not have to be male.
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
@@VanagandrAngrit’s been mentioned here and there that they and their legions were purged by the emperor. What their crimes were, no body would discuss it
Once again a simply sublime & powerful history of the lore please keep up your good work as without doubt it is a audio & visual feast every single time thank you again for posting wonderful stuff
Great video and love the way you capture the scale importance the the High Lords have.
Brilliant as always maestro
A votive offering to the Chaos God of Algorithms, Brother Balders.
Another marvelous piece of work, Brother!
That's the best description of the high Lords I have ever heard.
Great summation of a hugely complex topic! It is very easy to belittle and meme on the High Lords, but the sheer fucking weight of the smallest matter they deal with.... These beings rule so vast domains and holds such vast powers it strains the mind. Consider this; Every major High-Lord owns fortresses, armies, spy-agencies and much more. They are Grand Kings of galaxy-wide domains, who each represent something crucial to the Empires existence.
Yes, an empire must have an Emperor of course, but it must also be ruled by many Kings, and those Kings must rule over many lesser houses. It is so.
Thanks brother Kristiansen. :). Always. :)
25:28 OMG Joseph Dredd??? What a reference!
Crime, the ultimate sin.
The iso cubes are waiting
when he brings you in….
Clone of Fargo.
And a mad lad. :)
@@BaldermortDidn’t Fargo himself do some questionable things? :)
Thank you so much for all your videos!
Thank you brother Baldermort!
I highly enjoyed this one.
You make the Emperor proud.
Trillions of people? Try quintillions. Other than that, Smashing video. Loved it.
Such a wonderful video that provides excellent segways into the various branches of the Administratum.
I’m most excited for the Adeptus Arbites.
!!! LOVE THIS CONTENT! Also amazing props came out today and already over 11k views Woot
I asked for more lore on terra and the high lords have heard and blessed me this day! Thanks baldermort! 🎉
Your opening monologue literally made me stand up and shout, "For the Emperor! ". (Not in the literal sense for the word literally though)
The Fabricator General is the best politician of them all, few can stand up to his melodious arguments in binary.
Thus is good stuff. Thank you mr. Boldermort.
Aw yeah! New Baldermort video on a Friday. Yessss.
Just a thought: (20:55) Navigators use the Necronomicon!?! Grim dark just went grim darker!
Japes aside: Bravo Zulu, Sir.
Great stuff as always ❤️
Makes work, barable when i hear you talk about wsrhammer 40k, thank you!!!!
Fantastic
The gall on those rebel lords. "Hey this guy has led us for thousands of years but fuck itt let's turn against him. I'm sure that won't land me as a medicae servitor for eternity."
Always knew of Warhammer and got more interest in he past couple of years and been wanting to know more. Not being horrible to other creators of lore, but I have not found them as engaging as your content, plus what a voice you have Baldermort. Big shout out to Jeremy Jahns and his latest video about Henry Cavill bringing Warhammer to the screen, as he recommended you in high regard and I had to come to your channel immediately and I got to say it's one of the easiest subscriptions I have ever made, absolutely love what I have seen so far and looking forward to go through all your content so far and what is yet to come.
I do have a multi question, what is your opinion of Henry Cavill wanting to bring Warhammer 40k as a series or franchise, especially when Henry is a massive fan, plus what would you like to see, especially if done right?
Oh I know this is going to be fantastic! Can't wait for this Baldermort!
What an amazing break down of the what, where, why, who of the high lord's. This video was like a nice steak dinner, helps that I ate a nice steak lunch while watching it, lol
We outlawed steak last week you old coot
Best voice ever
I have very much enjoyed this.
Thnak you , BM .
🐺
Thanks brother Canis. :).
Wanted to know the lore of the High Lords. Wasted 20 minutes on other paltry channels. Realized I had forgotten, The Baldemort.
Found, again, exactly what I was looking for here...
Some old geezer sociopath at The High Council of Terra:
Some Agri World:
You commentaries rock.
Love it, thanks baldermort. Best videos on all channels
Its good to see you getting back to form after that unpleasant business early in the week
This man is the only way I’m able to sleep
Brother Baldermort, sorry this is a little late, as always great stuff, how on Terra do you keep your quality so magnificently high, week after week, year upon year? You and your family are absolute heroes. BBB, BBB INDEED 🎉
Thanks brother Day. I work hard.
But then, your own writing is better. I’ll never see the response due to how TH-cam works.
Could you sling me a brief email with an update? Not pressuring you, it’s just that I take my break in January. If we could get a copy done by then I’d be able to get right on it on my ‘off’ break? But do mail.
20:53 Baldy has enlightened us that the mutants follow the Necronomicon, not the Astronomicon.
This explains so much.
Would love to see more exposure of the Highlords and the Senatoris Imperialis in the lore.
A whole political book series in a similar vein to the 40k crime series would be cool. Had my fill of bolter porn and alot of the new non heresay stuff is trending downwards.
I know right! I’m hoping next year maybe? :)
I hoping for an Age of Apostasy Series. Always liked Goge Vandire
@@eldradulthran2436 The Borgias in Space!🤣
Had your fill of Bolter Prons? May I interest you in some Softcore Lasgun instead? Maybe even a bit of Hardcore Chainsword? Fine, that doesn't get you all Hot and Bothered? How about some Twerking Melters? Look, we've even got some "Help Step Brother, I'm an innocent Titan and I got stuck my head stuck under the Bed" if that interests you.
If none of this tickles your fancy, we keep the Slaanesh-y stuff behind that door marked "Airlock"
The closest you can get to that right now would be Chris Wraight's "Emperors Legion" series. Both books in that are great, and one out of the three pov characters is supremely highly placed in the Senatorum Imperialis.
Thank you for all you do!
Your Videos make my life bright, thanks for beeing there for us
What a perfect night with this video
Baldemort, you're voice is phenomenal, have you done any official audiobooks for GW?
Thank yu lore master Baldermort great fun thankyu good sir
Excellent, most excellent. (Maybe a Soul Drinkers vid for Christmas?) 🎄
Loving the work.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Ah. A new video. Good. Today, my meal will taste even better as i feast while watching this video. 😋
I had always considered the High Lords as near traitors in their own right and dead weight around the Imperium's neck.
Still. I'm grateful for the video Baldamort. Especially after the unfortunate hoodwinking you were subjected to, it is good to hear your voice.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
High quality video as always!
20:54 "and espy the light of the necronomicon"*
lol thats a bit of a mistake.
Yerp. It was.
I wouldn't mind hearing a story like that narrorated by you. Have you read out any lovecraft stories?
Got my age of darkness set today so I'm going to be listening to 40 and 30k lore for a while woohoo!!!!!
Kneel before our mighty paperwork-Adeptus admin section...probably lol
Just WOW with that ending.
I was gonna deal with that problem about 200 years ago but I knew my boy Robby would be back soon so I was chill. I've been busy.
It is a fool that dares to anger this august personage........... Thank you Uncle Baldy for giving us a break from that phrase.
I clicked immediately I can't wait leaving my comment already still watching 2 minutes if unskippable adds.
The high lords of Terra better start looking over their shoulders for we know what's coming, Himself Lord uncle Baldy is on the trail, (the trail of the lonesome pine?). I STILL think you should do audio for the black library, nobody will be using your audio as a sleeping aid, hell no, (unless the weirdos like halloween), there is something beautiful about listening to your reading of the tale, and the colour you bring to your own work is amazing.
I'm reading legacy of caliban and I've put that down to listen to this, I think that proves my point.
Thank you sir, just what we need on an evening where the nights are drawing in, it seems like a perfect backdrop.

I do like the concept of the High Lords, and echo that I think they should be expanded upon. Let's see the point of a minor senator trying to court one of the Twelve, and stay in good ordure.
Then again, I would also like to see the Nova Terra Interregnum expanded on. An entire quarter of the Galaxy rebels, Chapters upon Chapters are deployed, it lasts Throne knows how long, and all we know is that it's "eventually supressed". BAH!
There are so many eras of the Imperium that are very unexplored, we only know era 41/42nd millenium, and a very basic outlook of the Age of Apostasy, but that's about it.
Books set in the cusp of the Imperium, the moment when the Ministorum started to rise but where the Imperial Truth was still very much the primordial law would be very interesting : clash of epic proportion between the two camps, which I'm certain happend at some point or another.
Untrustworthyness, the ultimate balance of power.
None are above inquisition's gaze

Whit a single word: amazing!✌️🙏🇫🇮

Another triumph, interesting to see how they deal with Gilliman.
So this is the minatours chapters Masters !
200k. This Bald storyteller to rival Mimir needs 200k.
Thank you for this gothic bed time story Uncle Boldemort!
