No slight on existing W40k content creators who are also excellent in their own way but to me for sheer professionalism this channel is easily head and shoulders above the rest. I mean these vids put a lot of official GW content to shame. Truly my favourite W40k content creator. Keep up the great work!
Great channel. To be honest, I listen to these as I’m going off to sleep or when I’m working and I still seem to take it all in. Can’t tell you how helpful it is for helping me rest! Thank you!
Good writing... They can't even get the basic numbers right, 500 Marines died of a single company, when a company has only +/- 100 Marines in total. If they can't get even the basics correct, then how much of it is head cannon as well...
More 40k redemption arc storylines/legends, please! The fall + liberation of Damnos has been a terrific repeat listen, and one of my favorites from your channel!
Thank you! Redemptive tales are always quite fun. Whilst it's not necessarily a story of redemption, the sequel to the Mortarion video will be focused on the tragic aspect of his life, so I hope it scratches a similar itch? If not, there will be more redemption to come (hopefully). At some point I'll do a blood ravens quadrilogy/septilogy/whateverilogy to tale their story, and imo that one is most certainly a story of redemption.
Holy crap a 49 a minute video from the best channel on TH-cam! Plus one I didn't have time to watch when it came out! My lucky day, time to get the paints out.
I honestly watched both of these videos instead of watching tv or playing games. This had me glued to my phone and that never happens. Time to watch every video
The reader / anouncer is truely easy to hear listen to & follow : Excellent emphasis & pronouncements, great learned english reading Truly joyful to behold!!!
I try to keep my own ideas out of the story content (if that makes sense), so the progression of both Damnos 1+2 were both sourced from the Damnos ominbus, as well as from one of the campaign books from GW. I do embellish some of the emotive parts, or condense key plot-points for the sake of brevity, but I'm aiming to keep these all as lore accurate as possible. That being said, I don't write them with the novel on hand, since I have a fairly good memory of them, so it's more like recounting a historical event almost?
00:00 "across the galaxy" Man I'm so stoned but it's just so good 😭😭💜💜 the voice is just soooooooo good and you write it sooooo well the video started and I immediatly said "FUCK yea it does" for no reason 😂😂
Only do that drug my friend. As someone who has made bad choices. To me Pot is the only drug that has not f ed my life. It goes hand in hand when painting your army's to. Cigarettes' on the other hand .. not good makes me tired and the head rush makes me want to not paint lol plus have to wash hands after.
Gosh you make such wonderful things. If you're taking requests, I'd be really interested learning another wild story or two connected to tzeentch. Thanks for all your hard work! ❤
Thank you! I'd like to do a proper video on magnus (last Tzeentch vid was obviously quite Ahriman-centric), so the cyclopean will probably get some more love in the future. I'd also like to cover the idea of sorcery in far more depth, and then obviously at some point I'll get onto doing some of the units from each faction, so Tzeentch is on my mind, and I'll try and get to working on some more chaosy stuff soon.
Well, they were basically "harmless herbivores" feeding on star energy. Only later did they started nom-nom-ing on souls. And it's not like the warp is full of....OH..OOHHH !!!!
(Edit: “Narrator: AI” wow… not even mad. Hard to believe but if a well written script can be elevated higher then go for it.) Your narration ability is phenomenal
Forges of Mars has a little insert about Damnos, mentioning Sicarius was so livid about the loss he took that he almost wouldn't address any guardsman or marine even while furiously training after he recovered.
I'm not sure which would be more terrifying. Finding out you're going up against a C'tan shard construct or seeing Flayed Ones clawing out from under you.
Aren’t there only 1000 Astartes max in the ultramarines? Seems like even with guardsman they would need more chapters to help retake a core world of the Necrons.
Iv always imagined the necrons seeing the mechanicus like an old man see his neighbours cat that pisses on his fly screen door. Hear me out just imagine an elderly necrons wakes up has a stretch. Makes hims self a cup of coffee he walk out to his porch, picks up his news paper then goes to sit in his rocking chair only to find a cat poo on it. He turns around in anger and locks eyes with his neighbours cat on the corner of the porch. He calls out for missies to get his gauss flayer
I feel that breeding your super soldiers to 'Never give up no matter the odds' might not always be the best option, knowing when you're defeated allows for retreat and consolidation as well as rethinking your strategies.
Ya but they are also bred to obey orders without question like machines. So it ends up being a case of never give up…unless your commander says so. Then it isn’t giving up, it’s a tactical advance in the opposite direction
@@fraziercrawford The Eldar Gods were/are warp beings. The War in Heaven was C'Tan + Necrons vs Eldar + Eldar Gods, so they'd certainly have been aware of the Warp. The rise of the Chaos Gods has certainly changed the Warp dramatically from the heyday of the Necrontyr, but it'd still be familiar to them.
The necrons not having orbital defenses or the tesserect not being to withstand one bolt of energy from friendly fire but yet the monolith is not able to just vaporize all with in its target just seems like some inconsistent power level.
Highlight of my week. Beautiful artworks. May the God Emperor of Mankind bless you. And if He sees your work as heresy, may He shine His righteous wrath upon you!
Ahhh 😌 those were the days in early Second Edition 40k table top fights, when I would deep strike with my butt naked champion of slaaneesh right in front of my friends beloved Avatar of Khaine and take him and his expensive entourage of all-star exarchs and I to “She Who Thirst “ with a cheesy Vortex Grenade.My 250 point sacrifice to his 1250 points of wtf just happened look… priceless 😈 lol …. After 3 decades of fun my friend is still recovering from that horrific yet humbling ordeal 😂. Love your channel you do the Emperor’s Work🙏
DO A VIDEO ON THE DEATHWATCH THEY'RE INQUISITOR SPACE MARINE SPECIAL FORCES ASSEMBLED FROM THE BEST OF THE BEST FROM EVERY SPACEMARINE CHAPTER TO FIGHT XENOS

This is the most entertaining 40k lore channel IMO. The videos have really good writing and aren't overly long.

39:39 DID I HEAR A ROCK AND STONE?!
fantastic video! love these longer format stories.
Thank you! More stories to come hopefully!
Amazing video thank you!!! Love storys from the different battles more episodes like this 💪✌️💪✌️💪✌️
Thank you! These are fun to write, so for sure there will be more to come
39:41 DID I HEAR A ROCK AND STONE?
ROCK AND STONE TO THE BONE!
Another lesson before guard duty! The Emperor provides!
Indeed he does!
its good to see the channel growing.
Indeed!
Same. Criminally underrated.
First time finding this channel. Damn fine story telling.
Thank you! If you'd like more then the Damnos Omnibus goes into far more depth for this story (obviously), so I'd recommend it
That was an unusually well behaved Vortex Grenade!
Commenting for the algorithm and because you deserve to know your work is loved
I've only just discovered your channel today and this 2 part series on Damnos has made me subscribe keep it up great channel!
And now I realise there will be a 3rd part I can't wait!
I read this a while back. Solid story, full of hubris and coming to terms.
Indeed, it's a fun one from that era of the setting
My fave lore channel! Videos are so well written
Thank you!
Thank you, way better than anything on tv right now. Bless you sir

Brother, you did it again. Fantastic. 👍
Love your content mate, keep it up!
Thank you!
Leutin for the in depth
Majorkill for the laughs
Scholars lore for the simple quick topics I love it
I'm sure tossing an active c'tan into the warp won't be an issue later. Totally. Propbably?
Well, they were basically "harmless herbivores" feeding on star energy. Only later did they started nom-nom-ing on souls. And it's not like the warp is full of....OH..OOHHH !!!!
that is literally the only thing that can kill a c'tan. the warp is anathema to them.
Thank you for your narration I enjoyed it very much 👍👍👍👍👍
You're very welcome, thank you for watching!
majestic orator, stories, and execution. Flawless
With my love for your content also comes with my love for your BGM…. It carries me ever so gently along with your Superb Sermóns
(Edit: “Narrator: AI” wow… not even mad. Hard to believe but if a well written script can be elevated higher then go for it.)
Your narration ability is phenomenal
I thought you were mortally wounded. I, Cato Sicarius, got better!
Twas but a flesh wound
ANY TIME I head "Cato sicarius" I immediately say it like from tts lmao
David Attenborough narrating a Warhammer 40k movie would be a dream come true
Outstanding.
YES! GOD I LOVE THESE STORIES!
HOPE YOU ENJOYED!
13:45 "By the Emperor, who is spreading these stories?! And why do they keep yelling 'SUCK IT, MATT WARD' before we shoot them?!"
This video was so damn entertaining!
Amazingly done as always. I beg of a video on the Iron Hands. The flesh is weak!
The death of Mr. Manus would actually be quite a good one, I'll add it to the list!
Omg I would watch that 5 times! Thank you for even considering!
Loving your content, keep it up!!!
Thank you so much 💙
Forges of Mars has a little insert about Damnos, mentioning Sicarius was so livid about the loss he took that he almost wouldn't address any guardsman or marine even while furiously training after he recovered.
Fantastic writing, not a 40k fan but this story grabbed me. Please keep providing more content.
The narration realy brings it up mach 5, i was all ears for 1 hour if only my uni lectures were like this hah

A number of Deathwatch strike teams were there too, but I do agree, this is very small, especially when compared to something like Armageddon.😅
“Because I! Cato Sicarious!”

I read this as the mechanicus being the old man and was so confused lol
This is the best 40k comment outside of reddit, amazing job 😂❤ honestly miss 40k reddit I might go back. You think The Scholar posts there? 😳
Nice telling and great story!
9:58- Half a company is 50, not five hundred.
Thank you for the amazing work you do.
What AI narrater software is this? It sounds fantastic.
Love these. I look forwards to each one
I feel that breeding your super soldiers to 'Never give up no matter the odds' might not always be the best option, knowing when you're defeated allows for retreat and consolidation as well as rethinking your strategies.
Heretic. Cowardice is punishable by death.
*BLAM*
You are absolutely correct. Faint/false retreat has been monumentally effective in wartime strategies.
The japanese army officers in ww2 would order their troops to turn 180 degrees and march forward instead of saying fall back or retreat
Ya but they are also bred to obey orders without question like machines. So it ends up being a case of never give up…unless your commander says so. Then it isn’t giving up, it’s a tactical advance in the opposite direction
48:08 I have my fun but really I don't have anything against these big blueberry bastards. Just look at this art if nothing else, it's gorgeous
Another killer video, thanks
What relationship do the Necron's have with the Warp? Are they aware of it's existence or of the Cicatrix Maledictum?
They went into stasis a little before or right around the formation of the chaos gods, so honestly I have no idea. Hope someone else does?
@@fraziercrawford The Eldar Gods were/are warp beings. The War in Heaven was C'Tan + Necrons vs Eldar + Eldar Gods, so they'd certainly have been aware of the Warp.

Well they did build warp suppression technology into planets like Cadis.
ROCK AND STONE MENTIONED!!! RAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH
A company is 100 marines… so half would be 50.
Caito Sicarius (probably): Hey Undying.......I didn't hear no bell
It was only 1
Heart and half a lung .😂😂
I genuinely forgot this was being read by AI.
Holy cow.
For the emperor!
Come to chaos
Cato looks so amazing umaksed
hello ScholarLore Delicious GrimDark 40K Lore thanks
Yeah... I don't think so. I don't care who is leading the attack, astartes stand no chance against a fully awakened tomb world. It's just not possible
I mean this based on the official lore so it did happen.
Great Video. I have a Question: whats the Music in the Background? It is so calming and makes this Video very nice
4:29 them trees big af
Guy was so pissed that he lost a fight he killed an eldritch god with a hand grenade just so he would feel better.
I’m glad I’m not the only one that had Caito Sicarius ruined by tts
such a great video
Damn thia was epic, wpuld love a movie made about it, that would be awsome
Thank you
I, CATO SICARIOUS, WILL NOT TOLERATE THIS
Nice
Nice!!

*IT IS I, CATO SICARIUS!!!!*
Don't the flayed ones teleport and do they "feast upon" or just drape themselves in remains?
How does a fragment of a Katan breathe deeply? Especially if, when whole, a Katan never had a natural body?
Attenborough AI took on a weird accent when it said "structure"
Never mind, I thought this was the Damnation of Liberos.
Could you make a video featuring Tyberos, please?
I like Warhammer
Wonder if there a real reason for the necron to attack again besides taking back a planet
Did anyone else think that the Orkz are the Necrons ultimate doom because they made everything green? And green iz grood an' grood iz orki an proppa?
Finally🎉🎉🎉
Great Guts avatar. That's my desktop background.
I got really confused in the beginning. How did the humans die? I feel like it was glossed over in a passing sentence or something.
This is the first part th-cam.com/video/zE5rbgtbTKQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=uq5YnLDIFCB-5hOd
OHHHH!!! thank you@@Corusame
If the Ultramarines lost half the second company when Damnos fell, wouldn't their losses be only 50 space marines instead of 500?
Honestly how did the Ultramarines continue military operations after this😭
Ey yo!
How can a Flayed One smell blood?
This was awesome anymore that are like it, you could talk about ?
Half a company is 50 marines not 500?
