- KELERMORPH LORE IN WARHAMMER 40000
The Kelermorph is a hero organism of the Gene Stealer Cults.
A warrior and icon, the Kelermorph is very different to anything one would expect to come from the genetic stock of the Tyranid Hive Fleets.

Forgive me for asking, where is the MK6 video?
@@jaegerbomb269I don’t think he’s made it yet?
Thank you great patriarch for this inspiring video
the youTube AI keeps deleting my asci drawings.. not fair. :(
Welp , its time for more fun ! Hope your having fun Baldermort, thanks for your fun videos.
If the powers that be had good sense, they'd sponsor you a bit to mention this rascal's in Combat Cards, on a phone near you.
Kellermorph is basically Hive Mind waking up one morning and realizing: "WE NEED CLINT EASTWOOD BIOFORM".
Took away my first upvote because I needed to like this more than once.
@@sweetyeetus My bad? Here, mate: Tyranids have decided, that they need Clint Eastwood bioform
@@andreykuzmin4355 You sir, are a scholar and a gentleman.
Clint Eastwood Mass Production type.
Finally someone let me out of my cage...
Kelermorphs are so damn cool. The way the 'nids use the idea of heroes and idols against humanity in order to drum up rebellions. Just awesome.
And Their damn scary, to know they understand humans that well and use it against us like that
Maybe in a better society, this genestealers would quietly infect the population, and get polítical power and disarm the planet, but the imperium is just that shitty of a place, that it inevitably ends in rebelion, that part is on us, all that cult stuff comes from human minds, the nids just swiched the Idol.
It's genuinely freaky proof that the Hive mind isn't just like a nest of ants or something. It is essentially an eldritch being stretched a Ross the different Hive Fleets and the like that is strategical hunting down entire planets at a time.
GW should make THAT into a super hero movie to start of their cinematic universe. People will be drawn in expecting dark marvel, they get to see life in a hive world, servitors, imperial cult, arbites, underhive gangs, and in the end the hero's true nature is revealed in the end and then the full horror of Warhammer 40K begins to hit them and keeps hitting them for several movies. After they see the imperial guard fighting off tyranids, they think the big bad guy is established, until they meet chaos in the fourth movie. There is enough material for years and years worth of movies with stories interesting to both fans and newcomers.
Not to be confused with the Sarah-Michelle Gellermorph, which inspired the fields which the Imperium depends on to keep the Daemon at bay.
😆😆😆 ah yes, the ancient human ancestor of sly marbo. (The powers said the slayer had to be female. Sly looked at them, and they decided that they may have been ...hasty.)
Pretty sure the imperium hunted her down after she repeatedly went after the sons of Sanguinius.
@@georgebulbakwa9017 🤣🤣🤣 great point, I can see how there would be an issue.
Edit: though on second thought, she does seem to have a thing for that type, at least if you're a named character. Maybe we could get a Slangel out of this. I'd watch it lol.
Wait....Buffy.....ANGEL.....
Much more effective than the Helen Kelermorph
@@YouCaughtCzars God that's bad 🤣🤣🤣
"Because he's the hero the Imperium deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because the Kellermorph can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent 3armed guardian, a watchful protector. The ultimate gunslinger."
He's also xenos filth 🧐
Wow Wow by Neil Cicierga begins to play
@@luked8873 Truuue
Yes, Inquisitor. This comment right here
This is outrages, heresy!
Excellent story. There's something uniquely terrifying about being just skilled enough to know exactly how screwed you are.
To be fair in the story the guy outperform the cult guy remember he landed a hit and only losing by ambush 😅
The fact that these genestealers cults are able to create hybrid ''heroes'' and other powerful creatures is frightening.
The coward that Cain thinks he is.
Well written.
That really raises a lot of questions about Cain.
The Imperial guy reminds me of Ciaphus Cain, an unwilling hero who becomes the legend he made for pure for his own gain when it truly matters. May he Rest In Peace.
Thought of the Day: What’s more in important: What you see yourself as, or what others see you as.
"Professionally lazy". In the US military, we have an organization that doesn't exist called the E4 Mafia. You should look it up. This guy would fit in perfectly.
For some reason i quite expected him to look down to see his own colour. Red, not blue the royal colour of the emperor. also fantastic story and a fantastic character i absolutely loved every second of it!
I was half expecting the lieutenant also to be some sort of genestealer cultist. Maybe under infection or uncouncious control. With all that undermining order and sleeping with as many people as possible. He could be a superspreader of 1st generation genestealer babies
The purple Xenos hybrid with three big irons on his hip.
big irons on his hip ~🎵 (i'd sing bass)
They had a lesser known form called the Helenkelermorph but it wasn't very effective.
Heard it sucked at driving
It’s really cool to see some gene stealer cult individual “hero” lore. They usually just seem like canon fodder for the emperor’s army to look good killing or for any victory to be immediately undermined by their imminent death by consumption. I like the gene stealers and am glad to see there are some instances of progression for some of their certain characters
I gotta say, my friends Kellermorph just deletes whatever he chooses to fire at. If a round hits, he fires again, he hits on 2's, he has 3 pistols, eventually he drowns everything in enough lead to fail all the saves that units has
This is PRECISELY why I hate the Gene-Stealer Cults the most of all the enemies of the Emperor.
Also, the story was amazing. The story of the officer-shammer was so lifelike I caught myself forgetting it was a work of fiction.
Love the genestealer cults I think they would make excellent antagonists in a 40k guardsmen fps
Yeah I think they would work well as an enemy faction in Darktide
@@e2rqey it would be a very cool dlc
@@cactusproductions6531 Some inter-faction conflict would also help to make missions more chaotic. Imagine going with your squad into the middle of a turf war between Chaos and the Gene Stealer cult, possibly even to hunt down a Kellermorph as it stalks the battlefield looking for heroes to slay.
@@screamingcactus1753 yeah the kellermorph would make an excellent boss
Every single character would make such a fun boss fight too to face along the journey to the Patriarch.
Damn... I was rooting for him! Thought for sure he'd win! Bravo!
This is a creature I've heard nothing about before. Interesting logistical creation and design. (I always say it's good to have a backup..
Nice writing as always Brother B:)
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hunh, kind of a Caine character. I dont know if he is more a coward or less but he definitely has the "If anyone finds out I'm faking it I'm done" feeling.
Cain is a rip-off of Flashman. Just so you know.
Did The Kelermorph really wave him on stage for the main event?
What I love the most about GSC aside from the alien mad max aesthetic, is that they show that Tyranids have a deep understanding of human psychology and will absolutely exploit it. Give the unwashed and disparaged masses of the imperium some bread and circuses, and they'll be ringing the dinner bell of their doom!
Exactly, this intelligent side of the Hivemind brings the true horror of it to bear. It isn't some collective of dumb bugs. If anything, in one form or another it's as aware of its own existence as you or me. It views the myriad species it consumes as having the insignificance of ants and the purpose of roaming livestock. It's not cruel. Callous perhaps since it knows the extent of the sentience of those it eats but hey, it's hungry and if it doesn't consume the prey it can find then it'll starve to death. Can we really condemn it for wanting to live?
I love Kelermorph's simply beacuse they slightly tap into an "Old West" aspect I really wish we had more of in Warhammer 40k. Obviously not going overboard with it but Imagine Cowboy Space Marines or a Cowboy Inquisitor!
*imagines Dark Tower series with space marines*
I don't know whether I should cheer or scream.
An old west style Imperial world does sound damn interesting though.
It'd basically be like Borderlands, but with fewer corporations and more guilds and gangs.
@@chrisroberts7000 Borderlands but with Guilds and the occasional Ministorum or Mechanicus enclave. That sounds like a cool homebrew!
I want to see an Old West themed White Scars successor so bad
Shucks pardner, we don't cotton much to heresy 'round these parts.
Space Marine cowboys sounds dumb
ahh the Kellermorph, my favorite of all the genestealers. My own has developed an infamous reputation among my game group. In turn one, he slayed the warboss of my opponent, only to disappear before the orks could retaliate. when he emerged again, he let loose a deluge of fire so strong that the greenskins could not ignore it, after 12 boyz were felled they finally charged. However, despite being stuck in melee, the kellermorph survived due to a lucky streak of invuln saves and a few nearby neophytes giving their lives to protect their heroes. It took three turns for the orks to eventually kill the gunslinger, but he died amongst a mountain of spent bullet casings and dead greenskins. Even so, he provided the distraction that allowed the cult to take the day and seize their objectives.
Truly, the Kellermorph is a monster of heroic proportions, a living legend that serves a dark purpose. I have truly fallen in love with the juxtaposition of his being, that he encapsulates the classic wandering desperado hero, a knight errant with a gun, the six shooter ronin who saves the day...but this is all a facade, a carefully constructed monster meant to prey on humanity's want for heroes. The cult gives the people what they want, a hero who will lead them unto freedom...and into the gullet of their dark gods
The Tyranids have no gods, unless you meant the cultists revere the 'Nids as gods
@@Svartalfgeist yes that's what i meant
I was only first made aware of this bioform when I picked up the Tyranid commander deck for Magic the Gathering; a Kelermorph named Ghyrson Starn. And well...I didn't know really anything about Starn or this bioform until this video, and I have a new appreciation for the card and this creature because of it! So thank you, Baldermort for this little entry, for I greatly enjoyed! :)
Same here. Super happy to see Baldermort do a video on it.
It seems that Lord Baldermort has brilliantly introduced Sir Harry Flashman, well known cad, rotter bounder and poltroon into the 40k universe - It's a cruel world.
Now for a proper duel, my great narrator, we just have to put him against the hexmark destroyer, the galaxy is not big enough for the two of them, let's see who has the fastest hands this side of the cicatrix maledictum
I truly hope one day GW memorialize you in to cannon as the universal chronicler
They’d chose Luetin if anyone. Size counts, said the actress to the bishop.
But it’s longworth or Keeble that are the actual voice. Superb stuff. :).
How I do love the yarns you spin. Bravo Baldermort!
Hero?!
*ponders*
Genestealer Zorro!
Tyranid Homelander!
Awesome idea!
Awesome story - it needs a ppre and post
My favorite thing about this model is it's inclusion in that one image of 'cowboy' looking models having a Mexican standoff.
Top tier story on this one. Well done.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
The cults have a very small player base currently and no new units. I really hope they get some new stuff and potentially some named characters to make them feel whole.
Watching genestealers on the table was interesting.
Now that intro story was awesome! Great work!
Where is my Spaghetti western staring the Kelemorph, the Serberys Raiders and an Inquisitor with a bolt gun on his hip GW, where is it GW
Another wonderful and rich Genesteeler story!
Baldermort you were very clever in your last video. By counting every comment as a call for Imperium reinforcements, you effectively silenced those who want the Imperium to fail. I am all for team Green. 60 million years and still going strong. I yearn for the day the Orks take Terra, snuff out the astra-flashlight, and turn the golden throne into scrap. And, I mean that in the nicest possible way. 😆
I myself play GSC and he is worth the 80 points he is owed, for he will take far more points worth of himself many times over if used right. And he will cut the heart from the enemy out in one turn with a calculated strike
He is worth way more than 80 points lol, the man does the lords work every time he touches the table top.
Thought for the day " Faith burns bright but promethium burns away the heretic & the Xenos".....Ootini.
Wrong universe.
@@michelecastellotti9172 Thought for the day which I paraphrase is from 40k Rogue Trader 1st edition which as I seem to remember had Gene stealer cults so how am I in the wrong universe.
@@dante001ish i was referring to you being a jawa ya techgremlin
@@michelecastellotti9172 My apologies, Though Jawas are well known servants of Tzeentch, We change the way...We change the course, By allegedly stealing things.
@@dante001ish motherfucker you make a good point but i have had already enough tech stolen frrom the bloody magpies, i still need to get them for stealing some pulse rifles
Well, that was a great story! I really rooted for human gunslinger even while I knew he's out of his league. That duel was just epic! Dear Baldemort, thank you for your hard work!
Wonderfully entertaining and fun video great bald one! As a Texan the wild west gunfighter is my thing!
Great job building the character in the story. It really made me feel the tension in the shootout at the end.
Thank you , BM .
🐺
Lol, darn it. I was rooting for that Imperial guy, even though it’s not his video and he had little or no chance.
I was so certain this was Ciaphus Cain just as he strode out of the Scholo Progenium on his world, then I remembered, PDF; right as he realized there was a third arm DAMMIT.
PRO TIP FOR RETURNING VIEWERS - Like the video before it starts so as to avoid failing asleep to that brilliant voice. 😂 HUGE appreciation, Baldy!
Stay sane, guys!
I am sure you have seen the FanWithTooMuchTime's recent work on his 40K vs Star Wars. The Madman has given these Jedi lightsabers and "Jedi" skills in his latest work! Truly horrifying! Loved this so much, Than You!!!
Amazing story! Reminds me of "Justice" from Afro Samurai
Hes a hero, so just and fair!
Hes kelermorph!
Hes Kelermoooooorrrrrrrrrrrph!
What an amazing story baldermort is truly the best 40K narrator/writer this and Kronan are the best of the lot
As a hopeless romantic of gunslingers, the introduction of the Kelermorph made me "squee" like a little girl getting a pony.
In my own writings, I favor gunfights. Usually revolving around a man named Yurgas Steyn. I am an avid lover of the "Cinematic Gunfight/Duel". The Kelermorph embodies this in the most sinister of ways.
Imagine Midas Betancore type facing off with one of these things.
There should be a duel at high noon with a Kelermorph and a Hexmark Destroyer!
As always, your voice raises my spirits.
'To the Hive of Ghosar Quintus rode a stranger one fine daaaay...'
Time 4 fun! Time 4 fun!
Fantastic video Balder, as ever
It's also one of the best commanders I've played in magic the gathering in a while
This was great! Thank you for making this video.
Thank you for this story, it really highlighted kelernorph 😊
Anyone else hear the good, the bad, and the ugly play while Baldy was narrating?
I'm at work and can't watch this yet but I already know I LOVE it. More GSC please!
20:06 Never bring 2 arms 💪🏼💪🏼 to a 3 arm 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 gun fight.
Im getting Flashman vibes, nice work.
for those craving a good genestealer story, i highly recomend giving Day of Ascension a read
Which features a Kelermorph character
Imagination runs wild here
Exactly how much of this character was inspired by Victor Tugelbend of "Moving Pictures?" 😄
and in the end ...
it will eventually be munched up by the Tyranid SWARM.
They also kick hard in Combat Cards.
These story’s are always so great. Keep up the good work!
Excellent story brother Balder, especially because you can elicit anger and upset that our unlikely hero was defeated so unceremoniously, and that essentially a shirt story could elicit such emotions at all. Excellent story craft as always!
Here ya Go Boss Baldy! WAAAAAAGH!!!
Some people call him the Space Cowboy
Amazing as always!
You have an amazing voice! Have you ever narrated an audio book?
Another entertaining story and bit of lore from you Brother Baldermort.
There is something I must ask however, those pistols in the thumbnail, are they plasma pistol revolvers?
First time hearing of this. absolutely fantastic telling thoroughly enjoyed it!
Woohoo I love it when you do videos like this. You’ve just breathed life into a character and model that I previously had no interest in. Thanks for expanding my love and knowledge of this setting ❤
Pretty cool for a filthy xeno. Thanks Baldermort!
Man, such a good way to contextualize this one. Well done :)
Ok. The Tyranids have jumped the shark. Now, they have a "hero gunslinger". Has the Hivemind been watching old Westerns?
Holy shit Baldy this was the bees knees!
Glad you liked it. :)
Great video love the story at the start ☺️
They are good and very cool. BUT the one I faced back in 7th ed didn’t get on very well with my Autarch
Once again another masterpiece baldermort take a bow good sir 👏
Ol Flashy’s gone native on us.
A homage old chap. Nothing more. Flash man is a fantastic set of books if you’ve a thick skin. :)
@@baldermort haha ya, I read the first 4 books and love them. Definitely not for everyone though.
Another fantastic video, Baldermort!
Hey baldermort, fantastic video as always. I’m curious, do you plan on doing any videos of the dark age of technology?. There’s not much lore on the weaponry of the past. At least from what I can find, still new to the hobby.
"anyways I started shooting" -Shooter McGeee
What a gripping tale Balders! Good stuff
Everyone loved the four-armed Han Solo
I feel terrible now since that skilled lazy guy reminds me of me and wasnt really a bad person.
Thankyu lore master Baldermort great fun thankyu good sir
Gods, that was fucking COOL
Elated you think so. :)
Reminds me of the legends of the Snipers from World War 1, WW2, Vietnam mixed with the the stories of the Old West Gunslingers...
He would get HIMARed in a real battlefield.
Blood for the Blood God!
Skulls for the Skull Thrown!
Farts for the Inquisition!
Comments for the Algorithm!
I almost feel like WH40K should change its motto to "The Grim Darkness of the Far Future Where There is No Time for Peace, Only Lore."
Brother! Bring the Flamer! The Heavy Flamer!
Loved the story! Loved the twist! Loved the lore! Loved the voice acting! Well done!!👏👏👏
You should do a video on Blackshields
Where is my green stuff? I need to give a kelermorph a cowboy hat!
