Extremeley well done, you so totaly capture the feel of an Imperial Remembrancer its uncanny. Videos such as this make it more than worth the wait & makes one glad for subscribing.
This is the single best Warhammer Lore channel on TH-cam. The records go into such amazing detail about the given topic that one cannot help to be amazed.
One cannot help but wonder what this darker and hidden war is. If it is His will for His people to know of this conflict to be known, then He will give us this information through this Remembrancer when He sees fit. In the meantime, Ave Imperator.
You sir are my favorite source of 40k lore outside of Dark Heresy and Forge World. *ahem* I mean, "May the works of this humble imperial servant continue long into the galaxy's future. Emperor protects..."
They even use Greek spelling and alphabet. Like "Kataphraktoi" obviously being a Hellenisation of "Cataphracts" (Ancient near-East very heavy cavalry, appropriately) when referring to their vehicle pilot contingent.
Critical Thinker got any quotes of arch that actually prove he is a legit nazi? Or are you simply accusing him of being one of the most disgusting things imaginable because you don’t like him?
@@ObjectiveAnalysis He really isn't from what I've seen but feel free to name some of the far right/fascist/nazi policies he espouses , he is a centerist at most and leans left of economics iirc. Do you actually mean he isn't "far left" by any chance? edit: And I'll point out I don't even like him OR his politics but exaggeration merely leads to the watering down of the actual meaning of words.
Hail to the illustrious Ten Thousand. It is they who held the line against the innumerable hordes of Chaos during the horrors of the Webway War when no other could. They did so knowing that not a soul in the Imperium would know of their deeds, only out of perfect loyalty to our lord and master.
For a lowly Imperial orator. You possess a wondrous gift of narration. Continued success, and may the doors of the Eternal Gate be open to you, To be at His side As his Personal Remembrancer
This day and age it feels nice not being talked down to. Words, sentences carry their worth as is and should be. Apart from representing a fantasy lore in the best possible fashion. You respect each and everyone of us as an individual by recanting it as you do. I've shared my praise before, only because i feel compelled i must, i don't comment just to comment. Apart from the lore aspect, this transferrance of information regarding its attempt of authenticity and verbose complexity is nothing but praisworthy. I've honestly not looked forward to anything like i have to these chronicles. My sincerest and most heartfelt thanks. K
Holy cow, that engagement rate is marvel! As of this comment 1,000 Likes/9 Dislikes, 129 comments on *only 28,925 views!* That's got to be the some of best in the business. I would hesitate to point it out, for fear of influencing trolls to alter the numbers, but it's just so exceptional.
You're Amazing, best lore narrator on site. 40k or not. Continue as is. White Scars when you can, maybe do a vid on each Primarch if you're thinking what next
Oculus Imperia yep the role of being the Emperor's Executioners is a heavy one. I love how Space Wolves don't like being called Space Wolves and that the nickname (The Rout) other Imperial Commanders gave the Space Wolves to mock them the Space Wolves use as a simpler name for the legion.
I honestly cannot believe how talented you are at creative writing. So, so impressive from start to finish. If you haven't started writing your own fiction, you need to seriously consider it
Something I've been thinking about is that why did Constantin Valdor follow the orders from Horus to destroy the Thousand Sons. As a Custode he answered to only the Emperor, and without direct word from Him about such drastic changes to the mission, why listen to the Warmaster?
A highly detailed and supremely respectful record, as befitting the paragons of the Emperor’s unparalleled genius in the arcane creation of literal demigods. One has had to opportunity to peruse said document in years past, but has not commented on the veracity and professionalism displayed by the Oculus until this day. Perhaps upon being authorised by the Imperial Household to gain access to theretofore sequestered tones and data-stacks, the Oculus may revisit the Ten Thousand; to allow, through his toil and research, the intelligentsia of the Imperium greater scope in their diligent studies. Ave Imperator. Gloria In Excelsis Terra.
40K is just so amazingly stuffed with lore. The combination of sciencefiction and the medieval era is so incredible and unique! The best universe for sure! even starwars! The potential for movies or a series is massive. Can you imagine?! A series like GOT but 40K...the horus heresy brought to the screen, maybe the great crusade..i will keep hoping and praying to the emperor.
Have a care, Chronicler. To speak of the war long hidden is perilous, no matter what permissions you may have. To inquire is to invite, and that way lies destruction.
Hey woah wait, Valdor was in command during the battle of Prospero? Why didn't he correct the Wolves' orders to raze the planet? Surely he would've known that the Emperor wanted Magnus *alive*, and not to have the VI slaughter the Thousand Sons, regardless of what Horus ordered. WHAT ARE THESE PLOT HOLES GW?!
It's a reference to the opening of David Lynch's Dune. As kinda crap as that movie is I unashamedly love it, and the opening 15 minutes in particular. I felt the language perfectly fit the tone I was trying to capture, plus there's the whole shared DNA between the Dune and 40k universes.
Quoted for truth Percy. Dear Oculus, I think there's a chance to continue this video now since the release of Master of Mankind in the Heresy series. hint hint
"We were never soldiers... To them, it must seem as if we are wrath incarnate. To them, it must seem as if we were created for destruction and nothing else. But we were His companions, once. We were the ones in whom He confided. We were His counselors, we were His artisans. We were the first glimpse at what the species could become if shepherded aright and unshackled from its vicious weaknesses. Of course, we were taught to fight. He knew that war would come. It was a necessary part of the ascension, though it was never destined to last for eternity. We were the guardians of a new age, and had to be strong enough to keep it secure." - Shield Captain Valerian, explaining what Custodians were created for.
If the Thunder Warriors could potentially handle Space Marines so easily (as we see with Arik Taranis, though of course he was legendary), are they akin to Custodians, in martial prowess?
A Single thunder warrior would be more than equal match to a Custodes 1 on 1. Thunder warriors are physically more stronger than a custodes and astartes but thunder warriors suffer from genetic defects(Also they were described as violent and psychotic during wars) that makes there lifespan short(It was said emps done it on purpose because thunder warriors have no place in the Post unification wars)
Hands down the best Warhammer lore channel there is.
Thank you!
I agree 100%
I think the effort that goes into the writing and performance really makes it worth watching
In my oppinion Luetin and Oculus share the top spot, far above all others in terms of Quality and depth.
@@Azaghal1988 dont forget Baldermort
Your the David Attenborough of 40k lore.
This is more of a compliment than you can possibly know
@@OculusImperia damn I had hoped you responded with "who?" Like I did
so very accurate
Know then that this is a record of how much I love this channel.
And I love you, random citizen!
Extremeley well done, you so totaly capture the feel of an Imperial Remembrancer its uncanny. Videos such as this make it more than worth the wait & makes one glad for subscribing.
Percy Barbarossa yeah just perfect
If any chronicler can accomplish this noble task, you have come the closest.
You are a credit to your rank.

I like how they use Greek sounding words for all the custodes to make them sound old
Same with the Mechanicum Taghmata. Nice contrast to the Latinesque language of High Gothic.
They even use Greek spelling and alphabet. Like "Kataphraktoi" obviously being a Hellenisation of "Cataphracts" (Ancient near-East very heavy cavalry, appropriately) when referring to their vehicle pilot contingent.
Know then how happy i get when i see a new piece of your work :)
Not as happy as I am to get kind comments like this
You should do Audiobooks
I'm very open to this. Anyone want to recommend me to BL?
Your lore on the custodians is amazing!
Just the product of good study, but thank you!
Objectively better than arch and OMS in every way yet again. Amazing work as always
Arch is okay.
Your lore channel is second to none. Definitely beats my other two favourite lore channels Arch-Warhammer (master of rambling) and Vaults of Terra.
Brevity is apparently the soul of a dedicated fandom
arch is a cock
Really don’t like vaults of terra. I feel like he butchered the blood angels.
Critical Thinker got any quotes of arch that actually prove he is a legit nazi? Or are you simply accusing him of being one of the most disgusting things imaginable because you don’t like him?

The Custodes are so cool looking! That golden armor is just amazing.
These videos are stunning. Eloquent, detailed, yet still accessible even to somebody new to 40k.
I could literally listen to these all day.
This is fast becoming the best channel on TH-cam.
Thanks so much!
This is beyond words. You are so well spoken sir! And your script brings our imperial existence to life! Emperor protects!
2:50 left to kitten - Wamuudes and Karstodes

Great episode and well done getting to 5k. Look forward to more delightful insights into the great heresy.
Best lore videos on TH-cam!! I can't wait for more legion videos!!
Can't wait for you to cover the war in the webway.
[feverish scribing]
Once again, your excellent research and knowledge of lore is second to none. Thank you for another amazing video. =][=
Best Warhammer40k lore channel!!!!
Ayyy my fav 40k lore channel

only 6 dislikes and 40.000 more views a whole year later. incredible!
You're Amazing, best lore narrator on site. 40k or not. Continue as is. White Scars when you can, maybe do a vid on each Primarch if you're thinking what next
Another amazing lore video.
Can't wait to see your take on the Vlka Fenryka.
Spoilers, I can't wait to cover the fact they were the only Legion that needed what were effectively commissars.
Oculus Imperia yep the role of being the Emperor's Executioners is a heavy one.

TY for another great video & wishing you Happy Holidays !
A Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, and an Introspective Sanguinalia to you too!
your videos are the best on the internet!!
Just found this channel today and wanted to say that you are awesome.
Thank you!
8:04 That Custodes terminator is awesome
Wow, I am very impressed. Great Series!

These vids are just amazing man. Great job
Thank you :)
You must be the progenitor of the remembrancers. So good.
So little Kitten is actually a part of the Ephoroi? That makes perfect sense.
He is likelly a parody of Contantin Valdor
Christmas is early!
Merry Sanguinalia little servant of the Emperor!
Oculus Imperia Merry Sanguinalia, dear scribe! May the God Emperor bless you, for your efforts!
Remarkable, outstanding, more please ❤️
So this is where the Remberancer Oculus started letting us into his world a little! Interesting to see where he started!
It's been incredible watching you come so far since the first few videos. Onward to 10k :)
Day two of going through the entire channel in order from oldest to most recent begins here.
I really like the tone you gave it
I would love to see some Custodes and Dante interaction. The Custodes bringing reinforcements and tactical info to Dante from Guilliman.

Always amazing work!!!
Speechless, grade A work sir.
Thank you so much!
Know then, Rememberancer that I subscribed to your Voxcast upon receipt of this record. The emperor protects.
Great videos
If only this were true in the 40k game. Any number for Space Marine types are more elite, than a custodian guardsman.
Your videos are amazing!
Beautiful work. Please keep it up.
Thank you! Don't plan on stopping anytime soon!

Kitten front and center.
8:19 god damn that’s one sexy terminator
The world’s most deadly custodians.
A++ my geeky friend! 😃
Yes!! More!!
AMAZING!
Hey woah wait, Valdor was in command during the battle of Prospero? Why didn't he correct the Wolves' orders to raze the planet?

Sweet
This is high quality stuff
Amazing !! 10/10
Fantastic job.
Hot damn! A new download!
"Know then that..." Oc, that is a fantastic tag line. How long did you work on that or did it just happen? Well done as always.

@@OculusImperia It's an awesome movie. Has cringy moments but great movie. Are you hyped for the new one coming up?
*does the sign of Aquila*
Damn Good Work!
Thanks!
I wish I could subscribe harder but sadly being a mere man I can only press the button once
You are the best!! Please please please make a Grey Knight video
Well done sir.
Quoted for truth Percy. Dear Oculus, I think there's a chance to continue this video now since the release of Master of Mankind in the Heresy series. hint hint
Dear Occulus where are you?
Blessed be they who protect that which is most Holy.

Neat. Subscribed.
Great to have you aboard!
Amazing
Great video, but i wonder, where it is stated that Constantin Valdor have 1962 names? I always thought he had 1932 of them.
I'd like to see the secret war video that You elude to at the end
What lore do you have on Kitten?
2:31 Kitten?
Plot twist: Custodian Armour is Dark Age of Technology recruit training suit ;)
Can you do something about the sisters of battle and the blood games I've never heard of that one
The Sisters of Battle are somewhat outside of the timeframe I'm currently covering, but a video on the Silent Sisterhood is in the near future :)
Could you do a video on the Raven Guard or Corvus Corax please? They’re the best legion in my opinion. Victorus Aut Mortis.
The script for the Raven Guard duo is complete :)
I love custodes.
Anybody else think we need a Webway Project/War Within the Webway video
2:56 I found kitten!
Emperor's Custodes are likely based on the Roman pretorian guard and the ancient Persian immortals.
More like the bizantine excubitors . Way too loyal to be pretorian lmao
real quick, whats your background music? I must know
wait nevermind im retarded. I didn't expect you to post the song in the description
If the Thunder Warriors could potentially handle Space Marines so easily (as we see with Arik Taranis, though of course he was legendary), are they akin to Custodians, in martial prowess?

Thunder warriors(Mini Primarchs)>Custodes>>Astartes.
This lore video was so good I was able to purge the heresy in my colon with the ever purifying flames of the emperor in the form of Frank's hot sauce!
Hey Oculus we are still waiting for the account of the webway war
