BEST WAY TO END THE WEEK, THANK YOU BALDERMORT :)
@@BohdanKaiba thanks LCB. :)

Sigh. Yeah, I missed a repeat. Balls.
'You will die as your weakling father died. Soulless. Honourless. Weeping. Ashamed.’
Simply a badass!
That's a third degree burn
Pity I couldn’t use your video from a few years ago. It was EPIC! But things as they are with GW? Sigh…..
The baddest of badasses
I knew Valrak would be here
@@baldermort that would have been amazing
Abanddon the despoiler “you can’t just kill all of champions of chaos”
Sigismund “hold my black sword”
*LITERALLY STABS HIM IN THE CHEST*
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Abbadon is like, “no wait that’s illegal”
Geez what a chump he is
when he said "hold my black sword" he really REALLY meant it.
Damn plot armour
GW - ABBADON IS THE COOLEST VILLAIN
Fanbase - no
GW - ABBADON HAS THE CLAW THAT SLEW THE EMPEROR. Horus killed Big E with that claw!
Fanbase - ok.
GW - And Sanguinius, don't forget him.
Fanbase - ok.
GW - Here's a bunch of other bad stuff he's done too, he's been on thirteen black crusades, he's killed SO many people. Important people! Named characters!
Fanbase - ok.
GW - Here he is killing Sigismund, the original Linkin Loyalist. He has a badass speech first.
Fanbase - ok.
GW - Isn't Abbadon just the coolest villain? Isn't he soooo scary? Don't you want to buy all of his models to be the bad guy in every campaign you ever run for the rest of time?
Fanbase - no.
GW - WHY NOT
Fanbase - because you're selling him WAAAAAYYY too hard. And you can't make him interesting. He's Horus minus the stuff that made us care about Horus as an antagonist. Abbadon is an over-acheiving try-hard with the emotional depth of a puddle, and the way he keeps offing characters we DO like just annoys us that much more.
Were I Kharne the Betrayer, I'd be furious that the Dark Gods would fill me with power while I was dueling Sigismund. That's probably why he's so angry because in the back of his mind, he will ALWAYS know that he should have died 10,000 years ago on Sigismunds blade but like a COWARD needed his Chaos Sugar Daddy to survive. For a man like Kharne THAT is his personal Hell, to know that in the moment it really counted, his own skill and strength FAILED
I still think they are going to do a FINAL Kharn vs Sigimhnd battle where kharn “dies.” The last battle when kharn was “empowered” felt off and against that old lore. There is to much emotional weight for Sigismund to not cut down Kharn in his hunt for Abaddon…
@@BENR8108 I don't wanna spoil anything for you but you should read Black Legion lol.
@@BrendonLandis I’ve read it… your point? We know how Sigismunds story ends. But we don’t know how Kharn “dies” the first time at the battle of terra. There are very few characters outside of a primarch that can stop Kharn (maybe Corswain or Roladon). Simply put; Kharn is slated to “die” at Terra and then be resurrected by Khorne; and with Sigismund on the hunt for Abaddon it makes sense that as Emperors Champion that he kill Kharn…
@@BENR8108 oh, I get what you mean. Tho Khârn dying in the battle of terra really has no consequences. Khorne just revives him and he goes on his marry way. So It really takes the wind out of the sigismund killing Khârn victory. Where as Abaddon gave Sigismund a perma death and that’s very impactful. Sigismund killing Khârn will never hold any weight just like when someone kills Lucius.
@@BENR8108
We do know.
Sigismund kills him in Warhawk.
The 7 things that to me make Sigismund one of my all time favorite characters in the era of 30k,
1. Even by the standards of Space Marines Sigismund was an absolute God-Tier Warrior and Duelist
2. He was best bros with Kharn before Kharn went crazy
3. When he was named the Emperors Champion his sole order from Dorn was to find every single champion of Chaos and slaughter them violently and brutally
4. Sanguinius praised Sigismund for his skills at killing the enemies of humanity, calling him "Death Incarnate"
5. Sigismund was able to hold his own for a short while against Daemon Primarch Fulgrim
6. He Became the First High Marshall of imo the coolest successor chapter, The Black Templars and when Abaddon launched his first Black Crusade, Sigismund got shit done and had his forces up almost immediately
7. Sigismund managed to seriously wound Abaddon by shoving his Black Sword through Abaddon's chest only to be killed by Abaddon shortly after and with his dying breath, he uttered one of the most badass last words in 40k, 'You will die as your weakling father died. Soulless. Honourless. Weeping. Ashamed.’ And Abaddon considered Sigismund such a worthy enemy that he had his body and sword back in pristine condition out of respect.
Sigismund didn't utter the most badass final words in WH40K, he uttered the most badass final line in all of fiction
8. He was level headed and possessed wisdom to realised a cold reality of human nature of limitless need to master space and fear of loosing it. He stated " In the far future, there will be only war".
So that's why Primus was intrance of the black sword in Helsreach, its because that's the sword that wounded Abbadon
@@roxxaviguetero8168 There are 7 identical swords. Each for one Templar Crusade given only to the emperor's champion.

Laughed so hard at this response!!!
... Faster than a Commissar can pull a trigger to "encourage" their troops?
@@buffewo6386 I laughed hard and may have peed a little when I read this!
As pissed as I am at gw right now, baldermort talking about likely the biggest badass in all media of any form still gives me chills
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Well man can even speak about God damn commercial and give me chills, and that's why he will always be most humble chapter master librarian claiming to be servitor
Love the hobby hate the company
Maybe check the heating on?
Oh hell yes. This has to be the most over the top introduction yet. Simply perfection.
OTT is what I do. :)
@@baldermort AND THE GOD EMPEROR BLESS YOU FOR IT, sir!
Love it, however I feel you missed one thing dear bard.
Sigismund has the most important quote in all of warhammer...
"We will spend our lives fighting to secure this Imperium, and then I fear we will spend the rest of our days fighting to keep it intact... In the far future, there will be only war"
Oh, I think I read this recently, is it from the first HH book?
@@JimboDoomface The qoute is actually from the third edition rulebook, it is where the "there is only war" is from :)
@@MrBandholm well! How interesting. It is also in the Horus Rising book, he says it to Loken. Tells him off for being naive when Loken is talking about the end of the crusade.
@@JimboDoomface I don't doubt that, I just wanted to point out that there are something like 18+ years between the two, in case someone thought that it was invented for the HH books.
Role credits.
Like a phoenix he rises once more; bringing with him zeal that even Kronan cannot match!
Welcome back BALDY!

@@baldermort hey baldi I think u made a minor mistake, since the Eisenstein fled from Istvaan 3 not 5
“Praise the emperor!”
The greatest astartes warrior ever. They need to unleash him in the next siege of terra book
I'd fr be ok with a novel length book of Siggy just slaughtering Chaos champions left right and center.
He's getting his own novel this year. Sigismund The Eternal Crusader. It's up for pre order right now.
I’m still new to warhammer )like 6 years at this point and I just wanna point out how crazy that is to say that you have been following some thing for six years and still consider yourself a novice but I Only read the book and have no order in which I’m doing it so I slowly piece things together as I learn them, but I have a question…
I was thinking Draco from the gray night was probably the best astartes warrior ever? I mean to just go to the warp/hell and start fucking shit up within On the enemy’s territory seems pretty epic to me no? 🤷♂️
Don't know if this feature was available when this was released, but I wanted to come back and just help support and also recognize/highlight how incredible this is. The Emperor's light still shines.
It would seem that the Emperor has blessed you with your mojo again, master Storyteller! And I could not be more happy about it.
Thank you.
Well, let’s see what you think at the end. I wasn’t very well. Sorry. :(
Oh! I forgot to thank you for the reminder about cushion fortresses. I had to use it as in in the bedroom until the week. :)
@@baldermort I'm glad it helped :-)
@@baldermort Thank you so much for the mental image of a bald man, crouched in a cushion fort, screaming into a microphone about the necessity of the Black Crusade.
What a time to be alive!
@@AnIdiotsLantern all hail the king baby
‘They say that he always kills with one cut,’ says Morn.
‘Only when he isn’t swinging his sword like a farmer swatting flies,’ Rann chuckles, though the words drain to cold sincerity. ‘He has looked defeat in the eye, and smelled its breath too, but no one mentions that.’
‘But you do?’
‘I can say what I like of him. I have bled for the right. And - no matter how good he is - he would take more than a scar if he decided to take offence. You do not have that right, no matter who you are.’
‘But is it true that he has never been defeated, never lost a duel, never failed?’
‘Never,’ says Rann with a shake of his head. ‘It’s one of the things that make him so difficult to like.’
‘Let us hope that he will not break the habit.’
Alert sirens sound. ‘Breach impact countdown commencing.’ - Few words about Sigismund "Templar" - John French
The White Scar spun his weapon, then snapped it to stillness. Dirty rivulets of water streamed down the creases of his face.
‘Do you not want to know my name?’
Sigismund looked up into the grey of his opponent’s eyes. Jubal Khan - Lord of Summer Lightning, and the Death that Comes with Laughter - was still smiling at him.
‘I know your name,’ he replied.
‘Good.’ Jubal looked into Sigismund’s eyes and nodded. The White Scar held his glaive low at his side, the edge facing back. Sigismund watched him, weighing the rhythm of his stillness, listening to the instant stretch out. A single droplet of water formed on the blade’s point. His pulse was still in his chest. His hearts paused between beats. The drop of water fell. Jubal whirled forwards. Sigismund cut down, and his opponent spun back, his blade a blur around his body. Sigismund swung again and again, his sword like a smear of steel and scattered rain. He was scything low and high, blade whistling, and the White Scar laughed as he ducked a cut and leapt into the air. The guan dao’s edge winked as it arced down. Sigismund froze. Jubal’s eyes were wide above bared teeth as his blow fell. Sigismund jerked aside, the curved razor-edge sighing as it passed his head. His sword flashed out. Jubal pulled back, snake-fast, his glaive rising, and for the first time the two blades clashed with a ring of steel. Sigismund came forwards, hammering blows down one after another, feeling the sword shuddering in his grasp as the rain streamed past his eyes. The White Scar’s face was locked into a snarling mask, his smile gone. Soaking hair whipped above wide eyes as he ducked and spun aside. The guan dao was a razor blur, the play of weapons a spiral of slices and parries. ‘You are everything they say you are…’ Jubal called out. Sigismund saw the slight twitch at the corner of his eye, and slid past a sudden thrust. ‘…and you are more.’ The words washed over Sigismund. In his mind there was only the feel of his own sword, only the play of cuts and angles and balance that flowed through him like blood and breath. Like life. Jubal leapt again, twisting like a bladed hurricane. He was fast, so very fast.
‘But you are missing something, for all your skill!’
He flicked his blade out and cut down, and Sigismund raised his sword to turn the glaive. He felt a blow ring against his forearm, and then Jubal was stepping back, sodden, topknot flicking to the side. Sigismund glanced down at his arm. The links of the chain binding the sword to his wrist had been severed. Sigismund lunged. Jubal swayed like a tree in the wind, and the sword sliced through empty air. An armoured heel flashed out and snapped Sigismund’s head back with a crack of bone and a spray of blood. Rainbow explosions detonated in his vision. The cries of the watching White Scars roared into the deluge. Sigismund reeled, his own blood blinding him, thoughts raging inside his skull: anger, and pain, and doubt, and… Everything was still. He let the drumbeat of his hearts roll through him. His world was the moment, his existence was the sword in his hand. There was nothing else. There needed to be nothing else. Jubal’s next move was already unfolding. Sigismund could not see it, he could not see anything, but he could feel it, like the silence before thunder. His sword met the blow. The force of the impact shook his teeth in his skull. He felt his sword move, felt it ring as it deflected strike after strike. He was going backwards, his vision a clotting blur, his feet skidding in the mud. Jubal was a scything spiral, delivering blow after blow. He was fast, faster than the wind, faster than the blink of distant lightning. But there, suddenly - like a flicker of sunshine through storm clouds - was an opening. Sigismund shifted and cut downwards. He felt the impact, and struck twice more before the clang of the first strike had faded. Then Jubal was gone, spinning back out of reach. Sigismund paused, checking his instinct to follow the White Scar. The sound of rain pattering on ceramite filled the waiting quiet. Jubal stood once again at the edge of the circle. Blood marked his armour, diluting in the rain as it ran over the ivory-white plates. The guan dao was steady in his grip, but his left arm was twisted, the elbow joint leaking red. His gorget was crumpled, and cracks spidered his right thigh plate. The dancing glimmer had gone from his eyes - his gaze was suddenly older, patient, knowing.
‘I will not beat you,’ said Jubal, and there was weariness in his words. ‘I know this. You know it too.’
His lips cracked wide to show sharp, white teeth.
‘But the song was worth the singing.’ Sigismund opened his mouth, forming words with a jaw that felt broken.
‘You were beaten because you lack focus.’
‘And you lack joy.’
‘We exist to serve.’
‘And there is nothing more?’
Sigismund shook his head.
‘Nothing more.’ Jubal looked around, blinking, as though seeing the watching ranks of legionaries for the first time. Then he turned back to Sigismund, and spun his weapon with his good arm.
‘Come, let us finish this,’ he said. - Jubal khan vs Sigismund
‘Sigismund,’ Abaddon said, through lips darkened by his own lifeblood, ‘this claw has killed two primarchs. It wounded the Emperor unto death. I would have spared it the taste of your life, as well. If you could only see what I have seen.’ As I stared through Abaddon’s eyes, I confess I expected the triteness of some knightly oath, or a final murmur in the Emperor’s name. Instead, the ruined thing that had been First Captain of the Imperial Fists and High Marshal of the Black Templars spoke through a mouthful of blood, committing the last of his life to biting off each word, ensuring he spoke each one in shivering, sanguine clarity.
‘You will die as your weakling father died. Soulless. Honourless. Weeping. Ashamed.’
Sigismund’s last word was also his last breath. It sighed out of his mouth, taking his soul with it. ..." The death of the Black Knight"[Black Legion - Aaron Dembski Bowden]
Hi brother Daimon. :)
@@baldermort Greetings Brother Baldemort
An excellent audio novel.
Didnt abaddon kill jubal right before he killed sigismund? Shows how badass Abby actually is. Even though I want him to lose everytime he fights lol
@@Danno_87 No, he killed Jubal in the Heresy, then Sigismund a thousand years later. Sigismund was OLD then, even by Astartes standards. But he still wounded Abaddon near to death.
This entry is exactly what Sigismund deserves, wonderful job Baldy!
Accidently clicked the "dislike button" at first... Can you even imagine
.. may the Holy Emperor forgive my transgression, accidental as it was.
At the end, I took my shirt off and yelled out the window, just so any xenos that might be out there among the stars can hear my fury. WELL DONE, you magnificent -humble servant- Venerable Orator.
Sigismund, first son and the emperors own champion. The truest warrior. The barristan selmy, the Ben kenobi, of warhammer.
The Barriston Selmy indeed, that is an apt description
Pretty sure Sigismund would stomp them both to be honest
@@mikek5322 you misunderstood. He occupies the same role in the story. He is more than these twos match. His archetype is the wisened warrior who was dishonored yet never strayed from his truth. To alter a quote of selmy: "I am a Templar, and I will die a templar." His death also served a greater purpose. He is now the martyr, the beacon that Luke Skywalker will aspire to be. Or, in his case, his legion. His last words to the great dark lord abaddon "you shall die as your father died. Disgraced soulless honorless." unsettled him just as Ben kenobis words of "if you strike me down I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine." It is the character principle i love the most. The betrayed one who can never return to where he was most respected due to the plots of villains, but even still will not turn away from his beliefs, ideals, or virtues. The truest heroes. The unshakable who defy the world by refusing to bow.
@@wiccanthropy1956 Ahhh I see very appropriate comparisons. Thank you
Though his crusade ended in his death the wounds he left on all the enemies of the imperium still bleed to this day and let those wounds blood draw the eyes of his crusading sons. I’ve been looking forward to this video all week and I must thank you for your work good sir
The Emperor Champion, the Sword of Vengeance and Fury, and the First Grand Marshal of the Black Templar’s. He is by far the most deadliest warrior that the Imperium has ever produced and none since then have even come close to his caliber.
Even though I also prefer Sigismund, doesn't Commander Dante come a close second?
Sly marbo can prove a challenge
Also what about grey knight Draco Caldor? I may have misspelled his name but you know who I’m talking about right?
I know in my heart that Sigismund would have mopped the floor with Abbadon if they met during the Heresy.
it would be like when Kharn beat the shit out of Erebus 3x in one duel. Only that Sigismund ain't giving 3 chances. Abaddon will get murked from the get go.
One other thing not touched on that can show Dorn still and high regard and trust in his son was giving his son the Gloriana class battleship Eternal Crusader. This mighty vessel is one of the gifted flagships of the Primarchs and have few equals in the galaxy. Dorn gave this to be his sons’ new fortress monastery as they would hold no home bar the oath to always be the swords edge of the imperium into the night.
Though I am first and foremost a Space Wolves fanboy, Baldermort my friend, you have made the Black Templars a close second. Outstanding as always!!!!!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😂🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Fenris Hyolda!!! Yes the Wolves will always be the emperor’s executioners but this is a second string that has just as much bite.
Last time I was this earlier, Oll Persson was still within a normal human lifespan
This gave me goosebumps. Especially your narration of Sigismund's end. Excellent, fantastic work Baldermort. I've never been disappointed by any of your videos but this one is something else!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Agreed. On all points.
Our Faithful servant has retold a great saga once again. Truly a joy to listen to, always.
The finest Astartes swordsman who has ever lived.
This intro is giving me chills!
Oh yeah, this one's gonna be a goodie.
A full-hour Baldermort video on a Friday afternoon is my favorite treat. Your Black Templar videos are my favorite. Love the nods to Greek mythology you pointed out. I've always been partial to Diomedes the only one to wound a god. Helsreach was my first full Warhammer novel and I am beyond excited for the Black Templars range refresh.
"He wouldn't die!" - Abaddon the despoiler
May the Emperor grant the traitors mercy for he, for The Emperor's Champion, has none to give. Emphasis on 'has' for even in death his wrath still burns ... like that of brand new star.
[It is my personal belief that the Emperor takes the souls of the his slain angels of death and turns them into members of the Legion of the Damned, and has been doing so for some degree since the Istvaan III and V atrocities. I can only imagine that the spirit of Sigismund is leading from the front amongst the souls of the Imperium's greatest heros, and maybe even Ferris Manis against the demon hords of chaos]
Sigi’s last words to Abaddon are first ballot HOF gangster “You will die as your weakling father died. Soulless. Honorless. Weeping. Ashamed.”

Marvelous, stupendous, insert many more verbs of high praise here!
This, this is what I listen for. Lore, an orator of skill and distinction. With the added bonus of their own 2 cents of perspective. Bravo! Hector was always the better Man, and worship is but a pantomime of faith.
But now comes the worst part, the waiting. For this merely wets my hunger for your own workings of The Thaddeus with Sigismund reborn. May Hectors always live to fight again.
I recently decided to finally get into 40k after wanting to for years and your videos have convinced me that the Black Templars will absolutely be my first army
😎😎😎. Welcome to warhammer. ;)
From one son of Dorn to another I wish you luck
2 more months till the new black templar codex, a couple new models, and finally confirmations about what primaris can be used

@@chrisjoyce4068 , Sevitar cheated (head butt)
Amazing work, as always. The only correction I would make is that the Eisenstein escaped the Istvaan III atrocity, where the Sons of Horus, World Eaters, Emperor's Children and Death Guard turned on their loyalist marines. Dorn learned from Garro about the betrayal of Horus, Mortarion, Fulgrim and Angron, and ordered the attack on Istvaan V.
Fair cop.
The sheer intensity and passion slapping me in the face as soon as I opened the video is simply gloooorious brother! The Black Templars being well portrayed, and with Sigismund himself as the subject, oooh brother, this is good!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
This is the most intense entry that I have ever heard on this channel. You are going to be hard pressed to do better in the future. Well Done!!!

Looks like im staying up till 5am again ty balders you truely are a hero of the people whatever gets us through the day right
I got chills in the first two minutes. This is gonna be great!
Once more, mighty Lord Master. I implore you to cover the accursed Halo device. A heretic artifact that heals its user of ailments, only to transform them into a hybrid monster of a bygone age.
I AM SO HYPED!!! This presentation was incredible!!! The music and sound design, the rapid fire delivery, the artwork, the right script and that glorious voice. I’ve watched ALL of your content, and this is by far my favorite. You’ve gotten better and better with time and this was truly excellent.
Thank you brother. A lot. Still honing things. Trying to do better instead of more now.
The last few minutes of absolute RIGHTEOUS ZEAL literally brought tears to my eyes and simultaneously a BURNING FERVOR to my heart. You sir, have touched the very soul of this fan of Sigismund and the Black Templars of over 10+ years. For a fandom that still so little know about, for a sub faction within a faction in a story so vast even the most pretention scholars have difficulty keeping major details simply organized...you sir never cease to amaze and captivate. Thank you sincerely for bringing to life something so special to so many devout followers of the Black Templars and the hobby. I wish you many years of good health and more importantly, happiness to keep on doing what is clearly a passion. Cheers Baldermort. Forever a Reclusiarch of MY Great Crusade.
I cannot wait to listen to this on my shift, I usually listen to these amazing works of oratory art when I'm at work, but I have to let my appreciation for the hours upon hours of entertainment this amazing servo skull provides, May the Emperor bless you!
Well worth the wait, thanks alot, brother Baldermort
I particularly enjoyed the delivery of Sigismund's last words, spot on, and also the little stabs at Warpsquirrel Cawl and the events surrounding him as well as your views on the Eternal Crusade. For stuck up Fists the Black Templars are alright.
It definitely is time the Traitor Primarchs get active again although I would prefer another than the Choirboy.
In any case, awesome work once again, thanks from the snowy mountains!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
A sumptuous banquet indeed! Well worth the wait. Another EXCELLENT entry!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Yes! I've been looking forward to this 1. Thank you very much for this epic video again brother.
BALDERMORT LIVES! STOMP STOMP!
Nice to see a whole entry about Barbon!

Your passion is the best thing about your lore videos!

Oooh this is going to be good. I’m moving tables in the sun at a school and this is just the type of thing I need. Thanks Baldie
Lovely video, the first and last few minutes show how good of a hype man you are Sir Balders haha. I'm still salty that the Templars get a codex before my Tyranids do, but that didn't detract from my enjoyment of the video at all. Plus who doesn't love some good ol' dunking on Abaddon?
Well, it’s a BT video. Of course I was going to dunk Lupercan’t. :)
Now this is how you start a weekend! Thanks, Baldermort.

Holy hell. That was truly remarkable. Surely one of your best, and the closing rant was absolutely epic. Thank you for doing what you do.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Honestly we need more Ultramarine and Black Templar stories that are fighting together. It is the strongest combination of forces the Imperium has.
Any Crusade that has BTs, UMs, and DAs is just death to anything that they face. BTs will be shock troops and a huge morale boost to the millions of Guardsmen, UMs will ensure all primary and secondary missions are accomplished and all Imperium forces are well supplied, and DAs will use their plasma to scorch the heaviest hitters of the Imperium's enemies and their secrecy to show up where the enemy least expects.
Damn that ending was epic.
I had a chills running down my spine just from hearing it.
I have urgent need to go and do some Purging with my kin after this vid xD
Oooh yess, I was waiting for that one. Gonna enjoy dinner over this. Currently reading and close to finishing the Solar War book and got my first glimpses of what a man Sigismund is. This is gonna be great!
I'm a bit late but I'm still hype for this one
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
And it did not disappoint
Love the passion at the end Brother Baldermort! Long live the Black Knight!
Thank you Baldermort. I can't thank you enough for making a video for my favorite character in Warhammer 40k. In addition I feel extremely happy seeing your channel grow from 1.5k subs to what is it now. I'll continue to be one of your loyal fans.
Thanks for all of your support over the two years. It is very appreciated brother Monika. ;)
So many things I could say, yet I am speechless. I could speak of the time and effort you put into this video, but I think nothing could be as effective as simply saying: I had the chills watching this masterpiece of a video. May the Emperor protect you, Lord Baldermort!
Equal to the story you gave of achilles, one could say Abbadon is similar also to Bauldr of Norse mythos whom was slain by mistletoe in the form of a dart shot by Loki.
Was watching my favorite primarch sanguinius then saw this and immediately switched to listen to uncle baldy
😂😂🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Sigismund is the BEAST!!✊☠️ Thanks again mr.boldemort! Ja 🙏👍
You sir are a true legend among the mightiest of Lore Masters. Thank you Oh Faithful Servant
Oh yeah! You have the best timing my friend , its friday the bbq is warming up and I'm cracking a beer ! Cant wait to hear this one ! Love your long vids the best
Enjoy the BBQ!
I can but humbly concur to what many others have already said here before I got to it: An awesome story told with peerless narrative skill. My hat is off to you, Baldermort. Very, VERY well done.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I’m ready! Been super excited for this entry since it was announced. Hit us once again with your amazing story telling and that delicious lore brother Baldermort
The Legends Return! Baldermort and the Emperor's Champion Himself!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
The greatest astarte to fight for the imperium of man.
I can’t wait for the siege book where we get to see his finest hour.
Absolutely brilliant as always! Your storytelling and insights into the grim dark always move me. While I will always be a son of Fenris. This wolf knows when to bare his neck to the better hunter.
I am at a loss for words for how good this is...Amazing, does not even begin to do it justice...Thank you for the best lore content I have ever seen Baldemort! I know you work hard on this, and it shows with every video you make!
Thank you brother. It’s not as good as I wanted it, as I have a heavy cold, but I hope it suffices. :)
@@baldermort I hope you get well soon brother, I would have never guessed you were not feeling well, so much energy and passion...Just awesome!
The way the duel of sigismund and kharn was written in the first wall novel was a an after thought.
Perhaps Baldermort could give us the true duel we were waiting for?
Alas, I did not. Sorry!
To give the author the benefit of the doubt...Perhaps it was to set the stage for Siggy becoming full-on faithful. Having seen the nature of Chaos, now he knows that focus and dedication to duty alone are not enough in the face of such supernatural power. He will find that faith levels the playing field again and his skill will be able to outshine theirs again while rising upon faith's wings.
@@terrencemedders1867 That would be awesome!
Amazing work, Baldermort! The intro set the stage perfectly, the music was a new and fun choice, Mrs B did a great job! Definitely made my lunch that much better
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
This video is so awesome, it resurrected Sevatar!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😎
I just got off work and INSTANTLY started played, I have anticipated this since your announcement!!
PRAISE BE TO THE EMPEROR
Thanks brother Commissar. :)
@@baldermort you are an artist, fantastic work brother:)
YEAH! Baldermort's back!! I hope you got some good rest, mate! Really exciting to see a new entry
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Woo!! Uncle Baldy! Those last two minutes are truly Righteous! You’ve sparked the fire for The Black Templars yet again for me. This was a masterpiece, well worth the wait!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
GW made the character, Baldermort give him life.
Once again, Sir Baldermort, you have outdone yourself.
As always we appreciate your effort and your impeccable oratory skills.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
An awesome piece of lore you put together Baldermort. You are the right man to give the Black Templars a voice. Thank you for keeping up the older 40k alive.
It’s another great day to be a baldermort subscriber! Ave imperator🙏
I loved the ending, this was a fantastic video! When I catch up with my backlog, I look forward to making some awesome Black Templars!
The Emperor Protects my Weekend.
The Baldermort Saves my Weekend.
😂😂🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
You give off an amazing Fanatic persona. The first part where you're explaining him... The emotion, the zeal, the Fanatism. You must be a Emperial Loyalist Fanatic.
Now this, this is absolutely astounding! Fantastic work as always sir, My days are always made better by your videos! Thank you for all the hard work.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Fantastic, I love your lore break downs but damn when it comes to the black templars and Sigismund your zeal is unequal and I love it.
😂🙏🏻🙏🏻😁😁😁😁🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Ive always loved the story of the Sigismund and Sevetar fight. that they were fighting for so long, Sevetar just got tired and was like "ight, im bored, imma end this" *headbutt*
I couldn't click fast enough. I am so frickin stoked. Thank you for sharing this with us Brother Baldermort.
Excellent parallels drawn between Achilles and Hector, Sigismund and Abbadon.
The emotion was so high this episode and I loved it! Great job Baldermort and thank you.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Your zeal in this narration is unparalleled. Brother it is an honor to view your work. I have many stories I am writing and I pray to the Emperor one day I have the privilege to ask you to narrate. Hail Baldemort! Loyal servant of the Emperor!
58:39 to the end was so GLORIOUS! It brought tears to my eyes. Sigismund is the reason I play Imperial Fists since the birth of 4th edition
Glad to see you back, Lord Baldermort. Your account and assessment is deeply entertaining as always. I hope someday you do some voiceover work. You have an amazing voice.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I love how you reference real world history and mythology in your lore videos it makes them truely stand out.
Ok, that ending was awesome!
Simply glorious, thank you for the sheer effort and attention to detail. I've never hit a notification faster
An hour up and 3 heretics make their presence known.
Lore with passion at it’s best. As always worth the wait.
Absolutely!
This video hits harder than an inquisition Exterminatus!
Absolute gold!
