Hey bud would you Happen to have an open spot in your alliance
You prolly won't see this wes but there's a scam bot in your replies just hit me
Happy New Year to all!
Bro check out the game blood and steel on pc. Now take that games concepts and make it war hammer 40k??
A space marine once told a rogue trader who believed the emperor to be a god. "The emperors blood flowed through the veins of his primarchs, his sons. And their blood flows in me, does that make me a god? I bleed and die like any other. And for a god to beat an immortal monster is not nearly as inspiring as a man that conquers the immortal."
hell yeah. that kind of philosophy is also why I like the Imperial Guard a lot more than the space marines. they're all just normal men and women holding the line against the galaxy's horrors. nothing is more inspiring than a guardsman sacrificing himself to take out a CSM by charging the bastard with lit melta grenades in each hand and on a bandolier across his chest. that level of balls is something to respect to all hell, because that guy wasn't some transhuman monster trained for hundreds of years to literally be incapable of fear, but a normal guy who was shitting himself the whole way to his glorious death.
Dude the channel vox in the void has a gaurd and chaos marine moment right before the marine kills the god they talk about how standing against chaos is futile. And the burn the gaurd gives him is beyond badass.
That kind of quote, and the amazing reading of the speech is far more great than the 'gods amoungst men' thing that purveys.
"Pity the Guardsman" 😏
Oooo Ulfar?
I imagine their confession booth is just a trash compactor
My brother in the Emperor’s name, is there any other way?
Brother Michael don't leave me in here😢
@@lanre1265 None that we would tell you.
@@InterrogatorChaplainAzraphil Forgive me Brother Chaplain, it was but jest.
Once you confess your sins to a box you are then purified.
“No pity. No remorse. No fear”
- Grimaldus
Ok buddy we get it
I may have taught my toddler "Blood for the Blood God, Skulls for the skull throne!" And said the "no pity..." out loud when she yelled it at the park :)
ok and no one asked you@@SordidusFellatio
@@SordidusFellatiowhat was the point of this comment?
Forever my favorite Chaplain
Chris Tester is so damn good. If I ever needed someone to voice a character in my fiction, he’d be near the top of the list
For me he'd occupy the top 5 slots!!!!!
Fantastic content as ever Wes - honoured to play a small part in it and help spread the good 40k word when needed, so thanks again for asking me!
had to give you a sub my guy. that was great, its midnight and you almost had me waking up people in my house. was wondering if you do any work with a "vox in the void"?
If could take as a short and use as a alarm noise I would
Love your work brother. I'd really like to see some more banter between fulgrim and Jagatai if you get around to it
The best part of the Grimaldus performance was the mocking sarcasm contrasted against righteous bloodthirst. Shit was immaculate
I have never felt as powerful as I did listening to that speech. Man that's good writing and amazing voice acting.
Chris Tester is a fucking gift to the 40k community I swear.
Agreed!
@@weshammer His Grimaldus take was shit though. Why not take the one from the Helsreach fanmovie?
@@hansgerman3437copyright maybe
he killed it with horus's voice
@hansgerman3437 the voice may not be fitting but you must give credit to the way he delivered it
I work as a chaplain in the United States VA system. I'm just glad to have representation in 40k! I think this video has inspired me to make a unique chaplain model based on my Custodes army!
As a pagan, I apologize you have to deal with us, given our lack of a singular book for research and all the endless paths and beliefs and nuance.
Even as a follower myself, I can imagine researching for us is a pain in the ass. 🤣
Grimaldus’ speech gives me chills everytime, I’d definitely take out my fair share of xenos filth in the Emperors name after hearing that
Seriously. Made me actually consider what it would be like to be there. That's not easy to do.
That read is goosebumps level... It sees to the soul of the words and gives them life.
"Are you not insulted by their presence?! Their existence disgusts me!"
-grimaldus
What is the time stamp for the speech?
"Did you pray today?"
"Did you pray today?"
Cuz if you didnt,
I retired from the US Army infantry and I was an open atheist throughout which can be rough in the infantry, but the man I had the most respect for in my first unit was Major Carrothers our Chaplain. He is a great man who I was honored to serve beside through some of the bloodiest fights in Iraq. I was actually very lucky to run into him when he became the post Chaplain at the base I work as a contractor at a few years ago. Seriously a great man. The vast majority of chaplains are great people. Not all, but the majority are.
It must be an awe inspiring sight when he pushed his brothers-in-arms to not only righteous anger, but also to calm and focus between battles.
From what I hear, most chaplins have the .. 'biggest records' if you catch my drift. Just good men, coming back to men, to be with them, and help them through the paths they have walked.
They're not just soldiers. They have to think of spiritual needs and for atheist soldiers mental health. I think being a "combat priest" is a lot different to what people think, their job doesn't stop at the end of the day because their duty extends to all parts of his brother in arms lives.
Real-world military Chaplains are the best individuals I have ever met. In all of my time within the US Army, it was always the Chaplain who helped me the most. They're the reason why Chaplains in 40K are *my* favorite Space Marines unit, and why I have so many in all of my armies.
I remember the intro segment of Devastation of Baal, when a father and his son (civilian) encountered a curious Space Marine Chaplain for their first time and his presence alone shook them to their core and kinda paralyzed the father for a bit, even after the Chaplain assured the dude that he was there not to harm them but to pay a visit to their lord (Sanguinius’ shrine), the dude was still bone shocked, even though he was your regular generic hardworking and rough treating father with attitude problem, a Chaplain standing infront of him alone shattered the tough act that he had on and even kinda humbled the guy. Then, a lady spoke, “You fool, they’re not here to pray, they’re all here to die”
You should talk about Devastation of Baal, it is definitely not talked about enough especially that first chapter, since whenever people talk about the Devastation of Baal novel, it always just feels like.. a simplified summarization of a shortened conclusion.
Ah yes Luigi may I say what to him in the end
@@srf8788 penile implant it is
Did the book say what happened to the boy and father? I listened to it at work but d9nt remember what happened to them.
@@chrishooker3289spoiler but luigi dies but his son becomes a spaceMarine
@@srf8788 i remember he was a failed aspirant. Did they let him retry?
For anyone not knowing this: Chris Tester voiced Heinrix Van Calox in the recently released Rogue Trader game by Owlcat. Another great performance by him. While I appreciate the zeal and ardour he gives off with Grimaldus' speach, the more subtile, insinuating tone he pulls off playing a member of the Inquisition is a masterpiece.
You caught that too?? I was talking to him on my ship and half way through his dialogue options I was like " wait.... I know this voice" 😂
Oh I downloaded it, still cant play it by next week... is there a way to accidently miss that character or is it a staple for the game?@@weshammer
He is in the electro priest monastery. I don't think you can miss him but anything's possible
@@weshammer thx!!! Happy New Year!!!
@@bikehunter82 meeting him is a part of a main quest line, can't really miss
Well, that gave me goosebumps in a way I've never felt before!!! That Grimaldus speech was insane!!!!❤
The Blood Angels chaplains also have the added duty of giving those who fell to the black rage an honorable death. They will even abandon military goals to hunt them down and give them their fitting end. Astaroth the high chaplain is my favorite blood angel. he actually will travel to successor chapters and make sure the deed is done. This has caused some friction between him and the flesh tearers s he once passed judgement on a squad. However he has also spoken in defense of Gabriel Seth. so it makes for an interesting situation. Also, noteably the emperor has made more exceptions than mars. Sanguinious asked the emperor not to destroy the faith of Bhaal who saw Sanguinious (and by extention the emperor) as a god as one example.
Give us a deep dive into the Kleptomarines (Blood Ravens).
an hour of blood ravens lore would be amazing actually ^^
i dont know much about them at all ^^
are they even canon in the "normal" lore? bcs i once heard or read that they were just made for the game(which is true i guess), but it would be interesting to know if there are mentions of them in newer books :)
wtf is their geneseed? blood angels? thousand sons? dark angels? they behave like a healthy mix out of them all...
they stole everything not bolted on the ground even their own history
@@tyrionlannister4920just hope they don’t “find” this video and “barrow it”
@@tyrionlannister4920personally I think their gene seed is thousand son. They’re a mainly psyker based chapter desperate for knowledge, so it would fit.
@@shadowcat9672 i think so aswell 👍🏼
I used to view chaplains as closer to irl chaplains and priests
Nowadays I view them as mostly Drill Instructors and to a degree, consultants and counsellors, vital to maintaining the mentality and spirit of soldiers through both words, penance and example
In a way they also play a part in a selection cadre, picking desirable neophytes and "flagging" astartes that may need guidance in some fashion
I think the lore has moved heavily in that direction although they have become more disciplinarian than real life chaplains these days just to make them "angrier" characters.
@@incredibleflameboy Yeah, while I certainly like characters like Grimaldus and how he starts much angrier and sorta becomes more stoic
I love the development of the Salamanders chaplain in the Nick Kyme omnibus (I cannot remember his name for the life of me), he was far more of a consultant and figurehead in almost how an emperor's champion used to be written where he targets high priority targets to spur on his brothers all while being there to help render guidance (tactical and emotional) to his troops
Idk, I like the direction of chaplains in 40k being drill sergeants and counselors rather than JUST ideological figureheads
What more can I say? I loved this "in depth" dive on the Chaplains as a whole and it was really nice to see "Nick" return as a guest on this episode, as his voice really is amazing. Anyway, have a great new year Wes, and we shall greet you in 2024. 😎
"Chris".......Forgive the auto correct. 🙄
I literally just began painting a Chaplain for my new Blood Angels army and I see this has been uploaded. Perfect timing!
45:28 - How Magnus finds the time to get that JACKED between reading ancient scrolls, conquering worlds, and surfing warp waves, I'll never know.
By the Emperor!! It was such a fantastic surprise to see Chris here! Love his 40k stuff. Amazing. Nice going Wes! ❤
My favorite kind of chaplain is honest just the space wolves one. Having that spiritual leader mixed with apothecary making them the main life blood of the whole chapter that even most egotistical and selfish space wolves will respect and honor them as they are your beginning in being introduced to the chapter and possibly the end when you are dying and the wolf priest comes to collect the gene seed. Just takes already awesome marine and make it even more awesome
My wife is a chaplain, she was very amused when she found out what I thought about when she first told me her profession.
Does she have righteous fury?..
@lavatun Yes, and gone for a full sisters of battle army, because having just one person preach "is less effective than having an entire army preaching while they kill you"
Apothecary is gonna be a great vid too they are the multitaskers and shoulders that carry the burden of repairing or retrieving any gene seed from the fallen brothers
Chris tester part is amazing, just wow. The video overall also a true gem to our community.
The Sangunary priests serves as the apothecary, but they definitely do watch for signs of the red thirst.
The Chaplains of the Blood Angels look for early signs of the black rage and are leaders of the death company. Mostly this is due to the fact that they are able to be the heart of the chapter and aim their rage towards the enemy before killing them when their duty is done.
yeah I was about to say that myself. It's weird how much they get mixed up. This is not the first time I've seen it
@54:39 Did he straight up bust out some Milliput to fix his wing in the lore? hahahaha SICK!
Oh I’m excited. Seeing the chaplain on bike is what got me into the modeling side of the game. Skull dude on a machine gun bike? Fuggetaboutit
But what about jump pack chaplains?
Thank you for this content. Even if would get idea to delve into interesting topic like this one, I would never have the time and resources to churn through all the sources, codexes, books etc. You lore guys are a amazing gift from The Emperor!
Haven't watched yet, Wes but just want to say I appreciate how much work goes into these deep dives and I'm putting it in my queue!!! Happy New Year!
Great video and the end gave me chills, love your deep dives please keep doing them, I'm a big fan of your work😁
This video is right on time to help inspire me. I just got Chaplin for xmas. I can't wait to paint him but i have to figure out what chapter my marines need to be. Thank you for all you amazing videos!
I love Chris’s work. He has amazing advice for voice acting and you can see how much he simply loves it
the bull took Optimus' brothers words to heart. be strong enough to be gentle.
Love the video, thank you Weshammer for including so much black templar lore. Theyre my favorite!
Been wanting a chaplain and now i need to run to the store!!
The Importance of Chaplains can never be understated!
Many have a spirit and soul no matter how atheistic they are their spirit still impacts their will, thus the Chaplains are needed to be the pillar of strength and the comfort for the withered souls.
Chaplains are a necessity in any military force or even civilization as the human spirit always needs guidance through the dark.
Awesome episode ! Realy, thank You for good work and that Chaplain voiceover :)
I absolutely love your content especially these long form videos. Your video 40K timeline explained is what got me into Warhammer so I thank you for that.
Chris Tester's voice was SO DAMN GOOD, IT GAVE ME CHILLS!! Amazing video as always, WesHammer. Keep it up!
Fantastic art choices for this video. Truly stunning!
14:44
Dude, I heard the speech and I tried to pick up a bolter and chainsword that I don't actually have so I could fight the xenos and heretics.
Chris' voice is truly amazing and fits like a glove in Warhammer 40k.
Hey Wes! Love your videos man. I’m a vet, so I want to thank you for the little military history for everyone. I wanted to let you know that some chaplains carry a sidearm while deployed over seas. I served with a Chaplin who actually had a combat action ribbon due to some fighting in Afghanistan. Also thank you for jump staring my love for 40k man! You’re videos were my first introduction into the grim dark. Thanks again!
Working in a VA hospital as a trauma therapist, I always appreciated working with the chaplains. There was one Army chaplain in particular, a Catholic priest, who was just stellar. He never proselytized to anyone and didn't try to convert folks, just sat with the Vets and got them talking.
Goddamn. Listening while kickboxing on a dummy
Hellsreach speech comes on....give it a 200% increase of kicks and punches for the Emperor 😂😂
They’re beautiful. More capable of empathy than other battle brothers, yet the least likely to allow it to cloud their judgement; kind, yet they are merciless. When loyalty is without question, the chaplain is capable of directing that loyalty.
The voice actor for Grimaldus went soooooo hard, love it
Excellent work as always!
really enjoyed this video, big thanks - very much enjoy how you present the lore and information
Wes I really like your channel I remember when it was just shorts and I’ll say those were too much fun!
That being said I think you shine in rankings or compare contrast videos and there’s so many damned things I wish you would give it a go at.
They are easy to understand, everyone will have an opinion, you we dont have to agree to enjoy.
Plus it’s YOUR opinion which is I think what everyone is here for anyway
Nice, fresh release AND a top 10 topic I love in 40K
I have an audible subscription, and I must congratulate you. You have convinced me to bite the bullet and start on some 40K books. Till now I've just been casually interested in lore, but I want to see the fuss foe myself. I think starting with 'Horus Rising' and 'False Gods' seems a good start.
Happy new year brother. Stay safe down there as we roll into 2024. I look forward to both supporting and enjoying more content ❤ keep being amazing
Thank you Wes happy new year
On page 43 of Indomitus it says “ ‘Kill for the Emperor.’ With his free hand he pushed on his helmet, assuming his vow of battle-silence. As a Judiciar, it was his role to inspire with acts not words, proving his worth as a Chaplain.” I’m reading an ebook so It might not be the exact same page but for me it’s 2 pages before chapter 3.
Mate Chris has such a great great voice to listen too. So much power in his words
That Grimaldus speech just hits hard. That man just earned a new subscriber
Oh Natrually RP put the soul into Grimaldus speech I was about to charge straight through my desk at work
I legit have been cracking up about this comment since you posted it, came back to make sure I hearted it 😂
14:42
Always a pleasure wen weshammer uploads a new vid🎉
You were not kidding! Hell of a job, Chris! That speech was incredible!!!
Nothing beats weshammer when it comes to something to listen to while painting.
14:35 THE BEST PART OF THE VIDEO ,AMAZING SPEECH
17:00 ok I'll add this to my gym motivation playlist cuz GODDAAAAAMMM I got goosebumps
waking up to a weshammer video... today is gonna be a good day
Always a good day when Wes dropped a new video
There are also a few examples of a Chaplain becoming Chapter Master.
The Consacrators, A 2nd founding Dark Angels successor currently have A Chapter Master who is a Interrogator Chaplain,, Grand Master Nakir. Nakir holds one of the highest ranks in the Inner Circle of the Unforgiven chapters as Master of Souls. He is one of three Chaplains who are members of the highest rung of the inner circle, Sapohon is the Dark angels Master of Sancjty, and Head Chaplain of not only the Dark Angels but all of.the Unforgiven, Asmodai is Master of Inrerogations.
Nakir and his chapter specialize in recovering lost relics of the 1st legion.
They are one of the more frequently seen Dark Angels successors in lore appearing in the Azrael novella, the novel the Unforgiven(both by Gav Thorpe), they have their own short story in the Successors anthology and they appear in Arks of omens the Lion fighting alongside their parent chapter are thus present when the Lion is reunited with his younger modern sons.
Nakir, is so trusted by Azrael, that he has been given overall command of the Rocks defenses twice in the lore, which allowed Azrsel to take A more active part on the front lines. The first time is when Astelan's warband of Fallen And Typhus and his death guard attack the rock in the novel the Unforgiven. The second time is at Wyrmwood in arks of omens.
Nakir is only know member of a DA successor to currently wield one of the five Heaven fall blades, he wields the Sword of Souls. It seems to have been the only heaven fall blade to regularly be wielded by a member of one of the successors as its previous owner wss Orlais, A grandmaster of the Disciples of Caliban chapter. Nakir lewd a years long crusade to recover ir, he presented it to Azrael thinking to return to the Parent chapter but Azrael gave it back saying Nakir earned it.
Super excited for this episode!
Our Chaplin jumped alongside us, and when we were deployed he absolutely carried. We were joking around one time and asked him about it, and he said "A shepard carries a staff to protect his flock dosen't he? Mine just reaches a bit further."
Finally! Thanks, Wes!
That story at the end is so epic in it's subtle strength. It fits a chaplain's spirit to a t!
"Forgive me that I must order you to waste ammunition upon their worthless bodies." Shots fired... or... about to be fired.
Hey, it's me. Your favorite underrated guntuber. I got into the 40k lore, and I'm hooked. I also really appreciate the taticus promo code. Thanks for everything
murtorius inherited a bit of guiliman's humor
Come on Wes, just as i decided to get myself a Lieutanent for my Bladeguard, you give me this ? Fine, a Chaplain it is
Chris CAMEO! Hell yes! Thank you Wes!
About the judiciar it must be an inconsistency or chapter to chapter case because in the Hammer and bolter episode of Lucius, the judiciar didn't speak at all and it was referred to have taken a bow of silence, so in my headcanon its just a chapter to chapter case because as real life the interpretation of rules vary , or it depends on how strict the chapter is.
I’ve come back so many times just to listen to Grimaldus’ speech. So fucking good
Chris's work there was fantastic, exactly how i imagine a Chaplain would sound and deliver those words.
He sounds like a spotty teenager using one of those cheap, karaoke, voice synthesiser mics.
I just love that the therapy experts for space marines are the guys with black armor and a skull helmet
If only I could see a Weshammer and Majorkill apparel collab. For me personally that would be amazing and I bet the graphics would be amazing.
Bravo, man. Great video.
Is this the first video Wes has done that had sources listed as they come up in the video? Idk if I just started noticing it but either way it’s something I’ve wanted for a long time and I’m so glad to see it
I've done it a couple of times in the past, normally if I include one it's because on my end I was trying to find the answer to a specific question for days and ended up pouring through 100 books before I finally found it. Putting the source there was kind of like me planting my flag of like "f*** yeah I found it." I am trying to get better about about actually including them more frequently throughout the videos though
great video, god that speech was so hype
hello WestHammer happy Christmas and new year 2024
I love using Chaplains in Chaos Gate: Daemonhunters. The buffs they give to the rest of the Grey Knights squad is hilariously busted.
Crit chance for bolters, or crit damage for melee.
Wow, crazy timing brother. I just bought the joytoy indomitus chaplain lol
This is the collaboration I’ve been dreaming of
There is something really wholesome about someone gushing about their favorite thing. Awesome video all around especially if you aren't a 40K type like myself. Art was dope too.
Woo, that Grimaldis quote gave me SHIVERS!
Where is the 2 hour video?! Great one Wes as always, thank you for the tacticus code keep them coming 😂😂
Mr. Weshammer, I LIVE FOR YOUR DEEP DIVES.
This is my favorite saying from a space Marine Chaplin It's from the blood angels series on Warhammer Plus
You blood you were born, in blood you are honored
The 10th edition SM codex doubles down on the vow of silence. Not just on their datasheet, but on page 39 where it talks about becoming a chaplain. It says they are forbidden to speak. My guess is that there was a communication error or editorial miss in the writing of the books.
Additionally, they have an ability called “Silent Fury”
When you were talking about how different Chapters deal with Relic reclamation, I immediately thought of the Blood Ravens and their habit of "Protecting" Relics they find. They should be the Blood Magpies for how they act around unguarded relics.
I've never heard Chris Tester before, but I have goosebumps from that speech.
I have literally replayed Grimaldus speech, shouting it word for word and making it my own for a goddamn hour now😂
Wow! Just wow! That Grimaldis voice-over was incredible.
In that Indomitus novel you mentioned with the Judiciary, I’m pretty sure it specifies that the vow of silence only applies when they are actively in battle. Sort of like an oath of moment.
