I see one of my most favorite mythical creatures in the video. As the legend of the Phoenix has it.... They rise out of their own ashes every few hundred years and are born again. Maybe Fulgrim was, in Soul, a Phoenix. Perhaps he'll come back someday?🌹😍💕
This is Legendary Uncle! And Well Deserved...as I feel that Fulgrim has been Unfairly relegated into his "Villain" role, and soo many people either gloss over, or downright forget/ Don't know , the Depth of One of the most Charismatic Primarchs that ever existed. And Also, they see Fulgrims Fall from Grace as something that happened fairly quickly.. When in Reality, He was trapped in a VERY LONG DOWNWARD SPIRAL, That took a good period of time to finally pervert his body and mind to the point where he released his will and control into the service of Slaanesh. This masterpiece truly HUMANIZES FULGRIM... And we see his struggles and trials and tribulations. And in some ways....IT WASN'T ALL HIS FAULT... THE EMPORER...BIG DADDY E, AND UNCLE MELCADOR, DID NOT FULLY PREPARE THE PRIMARCHS FOR ALL THE DANGERS AND TRUE EVILS THE GALAXY HOLDS...AND WITHOUT RECON AND SITUATIONAL AWARENESS OF ONES SURROUNDINGS, INCLUDING INFORMATION ABOUT THE ENEMIES STRENGTH AND TACTICS.. ANY CONFLICT OF ARMS IS DOOMED TO FAILURE. AND THE CASUALTIES WILL BE INCALCULABLE. Had Fulgrim been prepared for the Threat of Chaos...and was Fully aware of the Destruction it could cause through it's INSIDIOUS NATURE..... WHO KNOWS? MAYBE ISTVAAN WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. Anyways....ANOTHER JEWEL OF A NARRATIVE UNCLE B! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS AND PLEASE KNOW THAT EVEN WHEN I AM HAVING A HORRIBLE DAY.....I NOT ONLY TRY AND MAKE SONE TIME FOR FUN....But I can put on one of your Oldies But Goodies from a past Playlist and things start to look brighter. I Appreciate ALL THAT YOU DO FOR THE COMMUNITY , AND FOR JUST BEING HONEST AND AWESOME! MAY YOU HAVE THE SPEED OF THE WHITE SCARS IN ALL OF YOUR AFFAIRS! GOOD DAY UNCLE!
Baldermort. Watch 'AFanWithTooMuchTime'. His Warhammer 40k Vs Star Wars series is a masterpiece, and it would be truly epic if you were to do a voice-over in the series. Please at least watch the series if you decide not to.
That was epic, and really encompassed the tragedy of Fulgrim. He truly was one of the Imperium’s lights, but was burned not close to the sun… but too close to the Inferno of the damned.
I really wish they would do something with The Fulgrim clone. The story possibilities are great. But I have a feeling Games Workshop will keep him in our favorite Necrons collection.
Aye. Clonegrim, Guilliman and Legion of the Damned Ferrus triple teaming Daemon Fulgrim (ooh er missus) is my ultimate dream moment in 40K. Guilliman would get a brother ge could very much relate to in outlook, Fulgrim and Ferrus can make peace, and Daemon Fulgrim can have his filthy degenerate face kicked in. Let the Phoenix rise GW!
I don't like the idea of primarch clones. It is implied that warp sorcery was used in creating the primarchs (I think I'm creating their souls personally) which is what imbues then with physics defying abilities. If they can just be cloned why didn't Emps make legions of primarchs?
I completely agree i used to be super indifferent to fulgrim but after the plague wars novels it changed my perspective and balddy here just helpped it out i wanna see clonegrim now
The tragedy of Fulgrim… he truly stopped believing in himself… the mental trauma he endured from the very start. To fall so short to temptation… to have the galaxies fate in his hands not once… but twice… and he stopped believing in the one person who mattered most in those moments. Himself
I sincerely hope every primarch gets this kind of treatment. This was truly a treat to listen to. Russ, Vulcan, Sanguinius, and The Great Khan would all be amazing. Of course, as far as tragic, I would think Angron, Konrad, and Lorgar would also be worthy of note.
Konrad curze is my favorite traitor legion .... He's such an interesting character I find myself a little obsessed with him .... Something about evil batman that just does it, ya know ? Anyway he is for sure one of the most controversial primarchs that's for sure.... But I would love to hear baldemorts thesis on him.
Angron going down to Isstvan was the tipping point for the traitors. He forced Horus and the others to actually get their hands dirty. To stop tiptoeing. Something that could be a misunderstanding and walk back from.
Loremaster Baldemort, your startlingly precise words and exquisite use of imagery and turn of phrase make me believe in a world that never existed and weep for what it could have been and even more hopeful for what I could be inspired to create in my own physical and fantastical worlds. Thank you for making my days working fabrication more bearable.
Easily the most Tragic of all the Traitor Primarchs. Once a stalwart and true champion of humanity, up there with Guilliman, Vulkan and Dorn in their care for improving the lot of the ordinary humans of the Imperium, and the dream of what the Imperium could be beyond just warfare, only to be tricked into becoming nothing but just a parody of his own, very human flaws, simply because he didn't know the enemy he faced was an enemy at all.
One can blame the emperor..For had he told his son's the truth, that gods where very real and very dangerous. Had he explained his plan to starve them of their very source of life, human devotion. Had the emperor done this, he could have told his son's that the imperial truth was a lie for the betterment of mankind. He could have accepted the worship of his son Lorgar, keeping the chaos Gods from turning him and Horus later on..The Galaxy burns because one man, could not face up to the fact he was always a god..
I switched this vid on randomly for my 20min drive back from work. Remained in the car for the next hour, sitting at the edge of my seat listening to this vivid , unbelievable storytelling. Keep up the amazing work , I’m so glad I found this channel. Thank you for making such delicious content!
I hope the Fulgrim Phoenix has the chance to rise from the ashes of treachery. The clone. It would be an awesome angle and story to see dual legions errr chapters? existing at the same time. One horribly corrupt to the core with a corrupt former son. Another restored with a restored legion. The pull between them would be like matter vs anti-matter.
“The blade itself incites to deeds of violence.“ Very true in Fulgrim's case. Not my favourite Primarch before, but oh how my heart went out to him now. Yours is a great gift. Please have fun with it.
I LOVE this video. The narration. The music. It really captures the weight, the magnitude, and the tragedy of Fulgrim's fall. If I had to describe this video in one word, I would have no trouble. For there is only one that is appropriate: Perfect.
I don't think we should say this for fear of Baldmort leaving 40k. But I completely agree he has the best voice for anything you might have to Read. He captivates you and brings you into that world more than any one ever could. His voice is seriously the best thing ever.. no comparison. To any Reader or Narrirator out there bar none.
This is the first 40k lore video that, like real life, shows how differing perspectives can make something infinitely more interesting. Fulgrim is usually portrayed as a vain, egomaniac and to hear him discussed w such sympathy was incredible. Bravo.
@@Baldermort being a contrarion/ troll is easy to do and this was not it. The logic and perspective was honest and genuine. The comparisons to Sanguineous were what really nailed it to me. Always thought of Fulgrim as Sanguineous w the phrase, "there but by the grace of God go I."
From intro to the final piece of music, the character of Fulgrim before his fall would have been proud. Kudos to Mrs B and yourself on bringing this character to life for us.
I only recently found your content, and I love it! I've been watching it now for 3 days, enjoying the depth of your stories and enthusiasm. Thank you for all the time you take to create such wonderful content!
I wonder if the clone Fulgrim is the "True" Fulgrim. When he became a Daemon Prince, maybe the vices and insecurities that allowed Horus to turn him stayed with the Daemon while the soul Slaanesh removed was the pure stuff that remained loyal to the Emperor. In essence I wonder if this process had created a Fulgrim who would be impossible to corrupt to chaos because it had all been separated.
If this is indeed the case, and Fulgrim-true in spirit if not necessarily in body-were to escape or be released from his prison within Trazyn's collection, then so much good could be done. I believe that, fully aware of his sins and humbled by his failures, his first step would be to seek out his brother Roboute, or maybe even travel to Terra and the Emperor himself, and throw himself forward to beg their forgiveness. To shuck all pride and arrogance, to apologize from the very depths of his heart for not being stronger, for not being wiser, and plead with them for a second chance, a chance of redemption, a chance to make right what he did wrong so long ago. While I do not believe that Guilliman would fully trust this new Fulgrim right away(and I can't even begin to guess the Emperor's reaction), he would be willing to give his brother a chance, a chance to do good as he once did, to earn back the trust of the Imperium.
@@DaniMol Good point. His existence would have to be kept secret, never being allowed to show his face, and wearing armor that did not match with that of his Legion.
Fulgrim makes me laugh with how petty he becomes. He has a hissy fit because someone beat him to the bridge of the diasporex flagship. Then later on he's prancing up and down in his pants alternating between rage and calm... I love how gradual it is and mirrors real world descents into insanity
Perhaps one of the noblest sons of the Emperor before his descent to darkness, and perhaps even the image that the Emperor saw for humanity future. His fall wasn’t one of hatred or malice, instead it was because of his sense of imperfection he saw within self as he compared himself to his beloved father, and that haunt him for years before the Horus Heresy and once he pick up that horrible sword his fate was truly seal to the Dark Prince of Chaos.
Well, that and the rape snake sword slowly possessing him, due tk the fact he had no idea chaos existed. That Daemon tells Horus flat out that Fulgrim would NEVER have joined the Traitors of his own free will.
If he had a basic understanding of chaos I think the Heresy wouldn't have happened and maybe Horus would be just another lost/forgotten Primarch in 40k.
@@pentacosttb2565 I hate how GW changed his fall. If the true Fulgrim was still in the painting, he would have been an s tier character. Imagine if the soul in the painting got merged with the clone and that would be why it was a perfect clone. A plotline about the Loyalist Clone trying to destroy the daemon that stole his original body, would be totally awesome
@@fortheemperor8764 Isn't the true soul went to clonegrim still? Isn't it why heis perfect. He isn't just a clone he IS fulgrim himself since when someone become a daemon peince their soul is replaced by warp stuff.
The novel Fulgrim is one of the best of the series. It's a real shame that Fulgrim's fall to chaos got retconed. Imagine if he still was possessed, and his Loyalist clone would have his soul. A plotline about the Loyalist Clone trying to destroy The daemon in his original body would be so interesting.
I absolutely hated that they retconned Fulgrims fall and in a lazy way at that - he just flips and Fulgrims back but nothing changes. He acts the same as the demon.
Nah the second he ascented his soul got edjected from his body. Thats why Clonegrim is perfect clone. It isn't even technically a clone he IS Fulgrim. Thats why Clonegrim NEEDS to be back.
Wow... I love how passionate you are about these stories... especially at around 50:00 in... the way you read it and the way I can tell that YIU feel about it actually tugs on my heartstrings. Really, amazing job man I love your videos and now this is one of my favorites. I wish the amber king put more of your stuff in his video with you because it was missing some of this truth tragic and heart touching stuff. I love amber king I'm just saying it's missing YOUR personal feelings of it which hit me deep. Bravo baldemort, BRA - VO!!!
Pre-fall Fulgrim and Emperor's Children were some of the best, loved them. And post fall some of the worst. Though others give them a good run for their money there.
Fulgrim’s fall seems like it was a work of Slaaneshi excess, trying to crank out as much despair and overstimulation as possible at the moment of his greatest betrayal of his heart- beheading Ferrus Manus.
they tried to retcon this but the retcon makes no sense, the ''real'' fulgrim is posessed by a daemon, and its implied clonegrim is more alike the real fulgrim, so i think the ''real'' fulgrim would be scared shitless because clonegrim could make the emperors children realise their mistake and turn loyal once more, aswell as unmask the daemon posing as Fulgrim
@@aguspuig6615with how overzealous the imperium is now, idk if they’d accept traitors back into the fold. You’re usually sentenced to death if you’re a heretic
I wish I could give 2 thumbs up, well done. No one captures each primarchs inner most thoughts and feelings like you. I feel as if you truly touch each facet of their personalities. Your primarchs series- keep it up.
My eyes welled with tears upon hearing this tragic tale. Like Rogal Dorn's tale it is filled with sadness. The cursed blade reminds me of another tragic hero, in my eyes of course, Malus Darkblade. I'm new to Warhammer stuff but I've been your faithful listener for months now and your content inspires my heart and instills new perspective on my own book I am penning. Thank you Lord Baldermort, I look forward to hearing of Conrad Curz's no doubt tragic fall. Also Could you recommend some Warhammer books to a beginner, I only have the Malus Darkblade chronicles vol 1
I'm so glad my godfather was given the love, care, and respect that he so deserves. Obviously he did something wrong (unlike my real father), but again, people don't give enough weight to the fact that he was EXTERNALLY POSSESED by a whole demon. Fulgrim would've been the beacon for all eternity had the Emperor warned his sons about the chaos gods. Biggest faux pas in history right there
This is amazing. I loved listening to this as I drove. Can’t wait for the next one with the HH. As tragic as Fulgrim’s story is I think for the traitors Magnus story had me in tears.
Great video. And I actually like the bias in the presentation. Clearly, the plethora of times you mention how Fulgrim is the "best," the "greatest," "perfect," and so on, it's clear he is your favorite. And the passion makes the video all the better, even if it is a subjective option. I disagree that he is the best, greatest, or perfect, but I certainly appreciate him more after this video and feel the tragedy of his story all the more. Thank you for this!
I have commented below and was already looking forward to an entry on the space marines but listening to this you truly get a idea of how much was lost. Fulgrim should have raised up so many. It should have been glorious but it was stolen. The universe itself given life with these magnificent tales. Epic work as always Baldermort and Mrs B
Bravo Baldemort, this was an amazing video. Fulgrim is amongst my personal dauntless few Primarchs and you really encapsulated everything I love about Fulgrim. I believe people look at the meme of Fulgrim being a narcissist and don’t understand his great Fulgrim was. GW would make my day if someday the Fulgrim clone who I like to think has the true Fulgrim soul could come back and make amends with Guilliman and rejoin the Imperium, I think the Imperium desperately needs the Fulgrim you described here.
He's one of the best narrators to the 30k & 40k lore. I love Baldermort's channel. I would love to hear him read some lore I have been working on , for the missing Legions.
As much as ive enjoyed every peice of your wonderous work i got to say that the little cherry on top is how youve saved your loong opening for the most ambitious peices. i found my self sitting here is it one of those? come on come on! LONG OPENING YES!! Graps popcorn already hyped for another entry :D
Thank you all... That was less informative then it is moving.... It has been yrs since a story has taken me on an emotional roller coaster ride and you've done it... I was so angry that I would have gone to war and it took many minutes to cool off... That has never happened before and I'm just an outsider watching from outside the galaxy... Bravo Bravo... Thank you all again from the bottom of my bottom to the tip of my aluminum foil covered head... Can not let the worp enter me... I wish I could do more then just praise all of you yet this is all I can for now.... Stay safe and keep and eye on the stars...
Just wanted to come here and say well effing done, Brother Baldemort, for (I'm pretty sure) inventing the term "Feanorian" as an adjective. I get the reference and, in doing so, can heartily acclaim you (at the the risk of inviting corruption from the Dark gods themselves) as a second Shakespeare in every sense of the term. Well done.
Fulgrim should have been a beacon to humanity to strive towards akin to Sanguinius, none had more love for their sons and Fulgrim was truly blessed as he was allowed to carry not only the name of Emperors children but also the Eagle upon his heraldry. I think Jaghatai was also blessed similarly because he was allowed to have the Lightning bolt.
Well done Baldermort, you've produce another work of art almost as good (in my humble opinion) as Rogal Dawn's longest second (master piece). Your oratory skills are amazing, capturing the heart and soul of the 40K vers perfectly. That was a long-winded way for me to say to you, Thank you.
Though he is often one of the more hated primarchs by fans for being the pretty boy and eventually a traitor, I think his fall is arguably the most tragic. His flaw was always wanting to do better and to bring beauty and light into the universe. Well done baldy, this was a standout even amongst your routinely excellent work.
Is nobody going to give that intro credit? No? Right then. Balders, that intro was epic. One of the best on TH-cam that I’ve seen. It’s great seeing how much you’ve grown this channel. Top marks.
Thank you, Baldermort. Truly epic, and informative too. This has me looking at Fulgrim in a much different light, and I love it. Of course, Mirror Cracked would turn all that on its head, but I hate that story and choose to ignore it. The noble Phoenix makes for a beautiful and tragic story. Mirror Cracked reduces that to nothing and ruins the character.
Ahh I love the long Version of your Intro with a Passion. But let's talk about the Chicken currently roasting, eh? Truthfully, I am of the same view as many others with Fulgrim - somebody that is exalted as being good at everything, wanting to be perfect is a shallow and worthless existence, filled only with hubris, built to see it's fall and get the commuppance. However, I do think I differ from others in that I understand this and can aknowledge it - I just can't comprehend it very well. If there is someting to be said about Fulgrim however, then it is this. Many, especially those that say, he could have done better by doing this and doing that - they are more similar to Fulgrim than they themselves might think.
Between Rogal Dorn's "Longest Second" and this, I don't know which one breaks my heart more. Brother Baldermort, you are an absolute MASTER storyteller!
I very much dislike the post Heresy emperor's children, but I deeply love the preheracy 30K emperor's children. And Fulgrim him self is so very Interesting. I'm so beyond hyped to listen to this and paint
Thats why fulgrim took the demons deal when he had the scales fall from his eyes. He couldn't take what happened to his son's and what he had done. So he accepted oblivion. God it's sad.
Would love to see more emperors children content. Maybe about loyalists. I know there aren’t any left or atleast any that openly state that they are their successors (atleast that I know of). Maybe about the clones of Fabius bile or something like that
listening to : The War of the Spider at this very moment , when i looked up from my work and saw that Fulgrim himself is on his way , i send a kiss in the air for Slaanesh .. cause my prays have been answered
EPIC INTRO NEVER FAILS TO GET ME PUMPED!!!....who needs adrenal boosters, just play that into over the vox have any space marine ready to dive into the eye of terror
What breaks my heart is that Clone Fulgrim is pretty much Fulgrim without any of the Chaos corruption clouding his mind. He was HORRIFIED learning everything his original did and the first real independent action he took was to save people from the Emperor's Children and was so compelling, even the corrupted EC Marines, for a moment, almost obeyed him. Mortarion and Angron were always lost causes, but Fulgrim, Magnus and Horus could've done so much good for humanity if it wasn't for FUCKING EREBUS ruining everything.
I have listen to "Rylanors last stand" almost every day, and i still get choked up, for it is truly a tragedy. The daemon Fulgrim is best summed up by Guilliman in 'Dark Imperium' ch3, "a corpse hidden in a bed of flowers".
Fulgrim was always dancing on the egde between nobility and arrogance. At his best he was an effortless paragon with superhuman grace, beauty and intelligence. But here was a core of childishness and petulance in him. But he was generally capable of recognising his own flaws. Kinda...
Fulgrim was my favorite Primarch and once perfection was his goal it led to his downfall. If that blade was jettisoned from the ship the heresy could have ended in his book. Great story; I learned so much. Thank you faithful servant Baldermort40k you are important to the lore of 40k!!
This was the first video from Baldermort I ever watched and it remains by favorite to this day. His reading and the emotion he puts into it is just so well done.
This was another amazing listening experience! Fulgrim isn't really among my favourite Primarchs but you told his story into such a captivating way that the true tragedy of his journey comes across so well and emotionally. It is a great shame that he ended up in this downward spiral and became a demon primarch of Slaanesh. His downfall feels among the worst because it seemed so utterly unneccesary. And all began with the touch of a blade...
@@tyrlant2189 Because if they had been told the truth about Chaos and the nature of the warp, they could have prepared for, resisted, and at the least just been aware of the threat. They had no clue…
@@fabricatorgeneralcaz534 yeah I wonder why he would hide that from them. If he is as great as he says, could there be a reason he planned things to turn out this way? Edit: oh the vid addresses it sort of
@@tyrlant2189 That, my friend, is one of the great mysteries of the Imperium. It could turn out that it was planned; Until GW writes that, though, my best guess is he thought he could outwit the chaos gods. I think he underestimated them whilst overestimating himself. There is a ton of good videos by Loremasters like Baldy, Luetin, and Wolf Lord Rho that will do a better job at speculating on this than I can.
Dearest Baldermort! You remembered! Your remembered my request from so long ago, and what justice you have done it! Thank you old friend, you've made me smile this day!

They rise out of their own ashes every few hundred years and are born again. Maybe Fulgrim was, in Soul, a Phoenix. Perhaps he'll come back someday?🌹😍💕

Baldermort. Watch 'AFanWithTooMuchTime'. His Warhammer 40k Vs Star Wars series is a masterpiece, and it would be truly epic if you were to do a voice-over in the series.
Please at least watch the series if you decide not to.
Fulgrim's Fall was truly heartbreaking. I agree, he was a great shining light.
Imagine being in a dnd party that's being DM'd by Baldermort. Would be downright cinematic
Downright BIBLICAL!!
I'm imagining a last-supper style tableau and everyone except the central seated figure ripping off their scalps and faces in insane ecstasy.
Hey Baldy. Can we play the game now...... NO! AND SO THE BLADE SHEW THE BLOOD OF THE CHAOS GOD. HE. OWED. HIM. NOTHING.
I would pay money for that
I actually made a now based of baldermort in my dnd game lol
That was epic, and really encompassed the tragedy of Fulgrim. He truly was one of the Imperium’s lights, but was burned not close to the sun… but too close to the Inferno of the damned.
Well said.
He was really lame tbh. Worst primarch but only because I dont count Lorgar as one
I really wish they would do something with The Fulgrim clone. The story possibilities are great. But I have a feeling Games Workshop will keep him in our favorite Necrons collection.
Agree
Aye. Clonegrim, Guilliman and Legion of the Damned Ferrus triple teaming Daemon Fulgrim (ooh er missus) is my ultimate dream moment in 40K. Guilliman would get a brother ge could very much relate to in outlook, Fulgrim and Ferrus can make peace, and Daemon Fulgrim can have his filthy degenerate face kicked in.
Let the Phoenix rise GW!
If The Emperor guided and helped Guilliman to free Fulgrim awwwww I can dream can't I lol
I don't like the idea of primarch clones. It is implied that warp sorcery was used in creating the primarchs (I think I'm creating their souls personally) which is what imbues then with physics defying abilities. If they can just be cloned why didn't Emps make legions of primarchs?
I completely agree i used to be super indifferent to fulgrim but after the plague wars novels it changed my perspective and balddy here just helpped it out i wanna see clonegrim now
The tragedy of Fulgrim… he truly stopped believing in himself… the mental trauma he endured from the very start. To fall so short to temptation… to have the galaxies fate in his hands not once… but twice… and he stopped believing in the one person who mattered most in those moments. Himself
I sincerely hope every primarch gets this kind of treatment. This was truly a treat to listen to. Russ, Vulcan, Sanguinius, and The Great Khan would all be amazing. Of course, as far as tragic, I would think Angron, Konrad, and Lorgar would also be worthy of note.
Magnus too! His story is just tragedy after tragedy.
Konrad curze is my favorite traitor legion .... He's such an interesting character I find myself a little obsessed with him .... Something about evil batman that just does it, ya know ? Anyway he is for sure one of the most controversial primarchs that's for sure.... But I would love to hear baldemorts thesis on him.
Angron going down to Isstvan was the tipping point for the traitors. He forced Horus and the others to actually get their hands dirty. To stop tiptoeing. Something that could be a misunderstanding and walk back from.
Loremaster Baldemort, your startlingly precise words and exquisite use of imagery and turn of phrase make me believe in a world that never existed and weep for what it could have been and even more hopeful for what I could be inspired to create in my own physical and fantastical worlds.
Thank you for making my days working fabrication more bearable.
Aye
Leave the weed alone would help greatly
The emperor’s children were the first legion I learned about in warhammer and their story of saving the emperor from an ambush banquet was magnificent
Which book was it ??
@@licensed_beheader I don’t know the book as I learned it from Oculus I’ll link the video below
th-cam.com/video/rnkInS6wlrg/w-d-xo.html
Easily the most Tragic of all the Traitor Primarchs. Once a stalwart and true champion of humanity, up there with Guilliman, Vulkan and Dorn in their care for improving the lot of the ordinary humans of the Imperium, and the dream of what the Imperium could be beyond just warfare, only to be tricked into becoming nothing but just a parody of his own, very human flaws, simply because he didn't know the enemy he faced was an enemy at all.
*Sanguinius
One can blame the emperor..For had he told his son's the truth, that gods where very real and very dangerous. Had he explained his plan to starve them of their very source of life, human devotion. Had the emperor done this, he could have told his son's that the imperial truth was a lie for the betterment of mankind. He could have accepted the worship of his son Lorgar, keeping the chaos Gods from turning him and Horus later on..The Galaxy burns because one man, could not face up to the fact he was always a god..
@@codyspegel6317 Angron
I think Angron or Kurze are far more tragic but that’s just an opinion, same as yours.
Perturabo or Magnus. Fulgrim couldn't withstand a cursed sword, dude was weeeeak.
I switched this vid on randomly for my 20min drive back from work. Remained in the car for the next hour, sitting at the edge of my seat listening to this vivid , unbelievable storytelling.
Keep up the amazing work , I’m so glad I found this channel. Thank you for making such delicious content!
Thank you brother Ansari. A lot. :).
*bows to brother Ansari*
The palatine phoenix is an amazing book and shows the true Fulgrim before Chaos destroyed him
I hope the Fulgrim Phoenix has the chance to rise from the ashes of treachery. The clone. It would be an awesome angle and story to see dual legions errr chapters? existing at the same time. One horribly corrupt to the core with a corrupt former son. Another restored with a restored legion. The pull between them would be like matter vs anti-matter.
“The blade itself incites to deeds of violence.“ Very true in Fulgrim's case. Not my favourite Primarch before, but oh how my heart went out to him now. Yours is a great gift. Please have fun with it.
Here our loyalist turned traitor
The one that couldn't fall
The most loyal primarch
Even though I personally love and dedicate my time to the Alpha Legion, Fulgrim is my favorite primarch of all time.
Hydra Dominatus brother
Ave dominus nox?
I LOVE this video. The narration. The music. It really captures the weight, the magnitude, and the tragedy of Fulgrim's fall. If I had to describe this video in one word, I would have no trouble. For there is only one that is appropriate: Perfect.
So when are you finally going get recruited to read audiobooks? I listen to just about anything you narrate. 10/10 as always
For real, I’d listen to science textbooks read by this guy lol
This would be rather fittingly, PERFECT.
I love Jonathan Keeble's Audible narrations but Baldermort would blow it out of the water
I don't think we should say this for fear of Baldmort leaving 40k. But I completely agree he has the best voice for anything you might have to Read. He captivates you and brings you into that world more than any one ever could. His voice is seriously the best thing ever.. no comparison. To any Reader or Narrirator out there bar none.
"The Phonebook...starting with 'A'...." (I sit back with a cup of tea and some cookies.....ahhhhhh!)
This is the first 40k lore video that, like real life, shows how differing perspectives can make something infinitely more interesting.
Fulgrim is usually portrayed as a vain, egomaniac and to hear him discussed w such sympathy was incredible.
Bravo.
I like to be different. :)
@@Baldermort being a contrarion/ troll is easy to do and this was not it. The logic and perspective was honest and genuine.
The comparisons to Sanguineous were what really nailed it to me. Always thought of Fulgrim as Sanguineous w the phrase, "there but by the grace of God go I."
Witness once more our gentle narrator has once again broken our hearts
From intro to the final piece of music, the character of Fulgrim before his fall would have been proud. Kudos to Mrs B and yourself on bringing this character to life for us.
Somebody should “suggest” to Trazyn that Clone Fulgrim can be used as bait to attract more potential exhibits. It would be a unique heist.
I thought I really disliked Fulgrim and his legion. Turns out I just didn't know much about them. Thank you for this.
Fulgrim was my favourite HH character. His slow descent into madness was so well written.
I only recently found your content, and I love it! I've been watching it now for 3 days, enjoying the depth of your stories and enthusiasm. Thank you for all the time you take to create such wonderful content!
I wonder if the clone Fulgrim is the "True" Fulgrim. When he became a Daemon Prince, maybe the vices and insecurities that allowed Horus to turn him stayed with the Daemon while the soul Slaanesh removed was the pure stuff that remained loyal to the Emperor. In essence I wonder if this process had created a Fulgrim who would be impossible to corrupt to chaos because it had all been separated.
If this is indeed the case, and Fulgrim-true in spirit if not necessarily in body-were to escape or be released from his prison within Trazyn's collection, then so much good could be done. I believe that, fully aware of his sins and humbled by his failures, his first step would be to seek out his brother Roboute, or maybe even travel to Terra and the Emperor himself, and throw himself forward to beg their forgiveness. To shuck all pride and arrogance, to apologize from the very depths of his heart for not being stronger, for not being wiser, and plead with them for a second chance, a chance of redemption, a chance to make right what he did wrong so long ago. While I do not believe that Guilliman would fully trust this new Fulgrim right away(and I can't even begin to guess the Emperor's reaction), he would be willing to give his brother a chance, a chance to do good as he once did, to earn back the trust of the Imperium.
@@DaniMol Good point. His existence would have to be kept secret, never being allowed to show his face, and wearing armor that did not match with that of his Legion.
Fulgrim makes me laugh with how petty he becomes. He has a hissy fit because someone beat him to the bridge of the diasporex flagship. Then later on he's prancing up and down in his pants alternating between rage and calm... I love how gradual it is and mirrors real world descents into insanity
Perhaps one of the noblest sons of the Emperor before his descent to darkness, and perhaps even the image that the Emperor saw for humanity future. His fall wasn’t one of hatred or malice, instead it was because of his sense of imperfection he saw within self as he compared himself to his beloved father, and that haunt him for years before the Horus Heresy and once he pick up that horrible sword his fate was truly seal to the Dark Prince of Chaos.
Well, that and the rape snake sword slowly possessing him, due tk the fact he had no idea chaos existed. That Daemon tells Horus flat out that Fulgrim would NEVER have joined the Traitors of his own free will.
If he had a basic understanding of chaos I think the Heresy wouldn't have happened and maybe Horus would be just another lost/forgotten Primarch in 40k.
@@pentacosttb2565 I hate how GW changed his fall. If the true Fulgrim was still in the painting, he would have been an s tier character. Imagine if the soul in the painting got merged with the clone and that would be why it was a perfect clone. A plotline about the Loyalist Clone trying to destroy the daemon that stole his original body, would be totally awesome
@@fortheemperor8764 Isn't the true soul went to clonegrim still? Isn't it why heis perfect. He isn't just a clone he IS fulgrim himself since when someone become a daemon peince their soul is replaced by warp stuff.
In the Fulgrim darkness of the 40th millenia, there exists
...only war
😂😂😂.
Pun-ee hoomie!
I had not noticed it till now, the picture of Fulgrim with the flaming wings, has the face of the Swedish TH-camr (the golden one).
The novel Fulgrim is one of the best of the series. It's a real shame that Fulgrim's fall to chaos got retconed. Imagine if he still was possessed, and his Loyalist clone would have his soul. A plotline about the Loyalist Clone trying to destroy The daemon in his original body would be so interesting.
I absolutely hated that they retconned Fulgrims fall and in a lazy way at that - he just flips and Fulgrims back but nothing changes. He acts the same as the demon.
I'm listening to Fulgrim right now actually. What was retconned about him?
Nah the second he ascented his soul got edjected from his body. Thats why Clonegrim is perfect clone. It isn't even technically a clone he IS Fulgrim. Thats why Clonegrim NEEDS to be back.
Wow... I love how passionate you are about these stories... especially at around 50:00 in... the way you read it and the way I can tell that YIU feel about it actually tugs on my heartstrings. Really, amazing job man I love your videos and now this is one of my favorites. I wish the amber king put more of your stuff in his video with you because it was missing some of this truth tragic and heart touching stuff. I love amber king I'm just saying it's missing YOUR personal feelings of it which hit me deep. Bravo baldemort, BRA - VO!!!
Pre-fall Fulgrim and Emperor's Children were some of the best, loved them. And post fall some of the worst. Though others give them a good run for their money there.
Bro, the music you use is amazing, it gets you wrapped in the story. Well done again.
Fulgrim’s fall seems like it was a work of Slaaneshi excess, trying to crank out as much despair and overstimulation as possible at the moment of his greatest betrayal of his heart- beheading Ferrus Manus.
I never knew much about Fulgrim and was always curious. His story is indeed tragic, and your telling excellent.
I'm speechless. This epic tale of amazement has me actually stopping and just listening to the brilliance of the great bald one.
The pathos you injected into this was magnificent
What would Guilliman's reaction be if he ever cam face to face with the perfect clone? What would they say to each other after so many years?
I’m thinking something along the lines of “sup bro” lol
they tried to retcon this but the retcon makes no sense, the ''real'' fulgrim is posessed by a daemon, and its implied clonegrim is more alike the real fulgrim, so i think the ''real'' fulgrim would be scared shitless because clonegrim could make the emperors children realise their mistake and turn loyal once more, aswell as unmask the daemon posing as Fulgrim
@@aguspuig6615with how overzealous the imperium is now, idk if they’d accept traitors back into the fold. You’re usually sentenced to death if you’re a heretic
Never knew much about fulgrim but they actually made me sad for him and realized he was truly pulled down.
I wish I could give 2 thumbs up, well done. No one captures each primarchs inner most thoughts and feelings like you. I feel as if you truly touch each facet of their personalities. Your primarchs series- keep it up.
My eyes welled with tears upon hearing this tragic tale. Like Rogal Dorn's tale it is filled with sadness. The cursed blade reminds me of another tragic hero, in my eyes of course, Malus Darkblade. I'm new to Warhammer stuff but I've been your faithful listener for months now and your content inspires my heart and instills new perspective on my own book I am penning. Thank you Lord Baldermort, I look forward to hearing of Conrad Curz's no doubt tragic fall. Also Could you recommend some Warhammer books to a beginner, I only have the Malus Darkblade chronicles vol 1
I'm so glad my godfather was given the love, care, and respect that he so deserves. Obviously he did something wrong (unlike my real father), but again, people don't give enough weight to the fact that he was EXTERNALLY POSSESED by a whole demon. Fulgrim would've been the beacon for all eternity had the Emperor warned his sons about the chaos gods. Biggest faux pas in history right there
He is honestly one of my most beloved Primark’s in the series
This is amazing. I loved listening to this as I drove. Can’t wait for the next one with the HH. As tragic as Fulgrim’s story is I think for the traitors Magnus story had me in tears.
Alright good sir, you’re making me want to make a home brew loyalist EmpChil successor
"...and the rage of Horus at this news was _epic._"
That delivery sent chills down my spine.
Great video. And I actually like the bias in the presentation. Clearly, the plethora of times you mention how Fulgrim is the "best," the "greatest," "perfect," and so on, it's clear he is your favorite. And the passion makes the video all the better, even if it is a subjective option.
I disagree that he is the best, greatest, or perfect, but I certainly appreciate him more after this video and feel the tragedy of his story all the more. Thank you for this!
New here huh?
None of them are my favourite. I take the position of the character or faction in question.
@@Baldermort Cool
I have commented below and was already looking forward to an entry on the space marines but listening to this you truly get a idea of how much was lost. Fulgrim should have raised up so many. It should have been glorious but it was stolen. The universe itself given life with these magnificent tales. Epic work as always Baldermort and Mrs B
I got chills down my spin for a full 2 hours..
Bravo Baldemort, this was an amazing video. Fulgrim is amongst my personal dauntless few Primarchs and you really encapsulated everything I love about Fulgrim. I believe people look at the meme of Fulgrim being a narcissist and don’t understand his great Fulgrim was. GW would make my day if someday the Fulgrim clone who I like to think has the true Fulgrim soul could come back and make amends with Guilliman and rejoin the Imperium, I think the Imperium desperately needs the Fulgrim you described here.
He's one of the best narrators to the 30k & 40k lore. I love Baldermort's channel. I would love to hear him read some lore I have been working on , for the missing Legions.
This storytelling always makes me feel like I'm sitting next to a campfire being told an epic tale of historical events.
Fulfrim is the most relatable primarch becausehe solves his daddy issues with sex drugs and rock n roll.
"He didn't see himself as a star to be followed.."
Post Fall Fulgrim: "When I am speaking... I AM THE STAR, AROUND WHICH YOU ORBIT"
As much as ive enjoyed every peice of your wonderous work i got to say that the little cherry on top is how youve saved your loong opening for the most ambitious peices. i found my self sitting here is it one of those? come on come on! LONG OPENING YES!! Graps popcorn already hyped for another entry :D
I’ve been waiting for more primarch stuff. If it’s half as good as dorns, this will be awesome.
Omg I loved dorns
Thank you all... That was less informative then it is moving.... It has been yrs since a story has taken me on an emotional roller coaster ride and you've done it... I was so angry that I would have gone to war and it took many minutes to cool off... That has never happened before and I'm just an outsider watching from outside the galaxy... Bravo Bravo... Thank you all again from the bottom of my bottom to the tip of my aluminum foil covered head... Can not let the worp enter me... I wish I could do more then just praise all of you yet this is all I can for now.... Stay safe and keep and eye on the stars...
Man, If Fulgrim had just virus bombed the Laer, he wouldn't have picked up that stupid sword
Just wanted to come here and say well effing done, Brother Baldemort, for (I'm pretty sure) inventing the term "Feanorian" as an adjective. I get the reference and, in doing so, can heartily acclaim you (at the the risk of inviting corruption from the Dark gods themselves) as a second Shakespeare in every sense of the term. Well done.
My excitement is in full! This is going to be perfect for lunch today! Thank you Balders for a might Banquet of a video today!
Good grief! That intro gave me chills. Excellent work as always.
Baldermort can you stop giving me chills
Was at 1AM last night, listened to your voice for the first 3 minutes and was like "aight I can fall asleep to this now"
Your Horus Heresy and Primarch videos are my favorite of your works. It sounds like I’m listening to Ken Burns’ “Civil War”
You really told this tale in such a heartbreaking fashion Balders. Truly amazing work!
Fulgrim should have been a beacon to humanity to strive towards akin to Sanguinius, none had more love for their sons and Fulgrim was truly blessed as he was allowed to carry not only the name of Emperors children but also the Eagle upon his heraldry.
I think Jaghatai was also blessed similarly because he was allowed to have the Lightning bolt.
Well done Baldermort, you've produce another work of art almost as good (in my humble opinion) as Rogal Dawn's longest second (master piece). Your oratory skills are amazing, capturing the heart and soul of the 40K vers perfectly. That was a long-winded way for me to say to you, Thank you.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
And he will never have as fabulous a majestic mane on his head as his father, or as the Great Angel.
Nonsense... Sanguinius asks Fulgrim for hair and makeup tips.
@@Fifthmiracle
... Father is dead...
This Video honestly deserves to be your most viewed, it’s bloody impressive how you can change my mind this fast
As soon as I read his books, Fulgrim and the Third had my heart and soul. Fabius is my idol lol
Though he is often one of the more hated primarchs by fans for being the pretty boy and eventually a traitor, I think his fall is arguably the most tragic. His flaw was always wanting to do better and to bring beauty and light into the universe. Well done baldy, this was a standout even amongst your routinely excellent work.
I'd say Magnus got that down but Fulgrim is a cautionary one for sure.
Well well well, i even get a heads-up today.
That's really kind of you
Really hope you enjoyed the bespoke vid the other day. :)
@@Baldermort i did very much.
In fact I've watched it i think 5-6 times now 😅😂
Is nobody going to give that intro credit? No? Right then.
Balders, that intro was epic. One of the best on TH-cam that I’ve seen.
It’s great seeing how much you’ve grown this channel. Top marks.
Thank you, Baldermort. Truly epic, and informative too. This has me looking at Fulgrim in a much different light, and I love it. Of course, Mirror Cracked would turn all that on its head, but I hate that story and choose to ignore it. The noble Phoenix makes for a beautiful and tragic story. Mirror Cracked reduces that to nothing and ruins the character.
Ahh I love the long Version of your Intro with a Passion. But let's talk about the Chicken currently roasting, eh?
Truthfully, I am of the same view as many others with Fulgrim - somebody that is exalted as being good at everything, wanting to be perfect is a shallow and worthless existence, filled only with hubris, built to see it's fall and get the commuppance. However, I do think I differ from others in that I understand this and can aknowledge it - I just can't comprehend it very well.
If there is someting to be said about Fulgrim however, then it is this. Many, especially those that say, he could have done better by doing this and doing that - they are more similar to Fulgrim than they themselves might think.
Finally found the time to listen to this properly, and may I say this is as well made and enthralling as your Rogal Dorn trilogy
Sir you spoil us
I love when you touch on anything primarch or space marine related. I do love all your work Baldemort!
Can't wait to hear about my favorite primarch!
Samee😆
Between Rogal Dorn's "Longest Second" and this, I don't know which one breaks my heart more. Brother Baldermort, you are an absolute MASTER storyteller!
@@stumpy1146
The Longest Second is simply EPIC.
I very much dislike the post Heresy emperor's children, but I deeply love the preheracy 30K emperor's children. And Fulgrim him self is so very Interesting. I'm so beyond hyped to listen to this and paint
Thats why fulgrim took the demons deal when he had the scales fall from his eyes. He couldn't take what happened to his son's and what he had done. So he accepted oblivion. God it's sad.
Would love to see more emperors children content. Maybe about loyalists. I know there aren’t any left or atleast any that openly state that they are their successors (atleast that I know of). Maybe about the clones of Fabius bile or something like that
listening to : The War of the Spider at this very moment , when i looked up from my work and saw that Fulgrim himself is on his way , i send a kiss in the air for Slaanesh .. cause my prays have been answered
So happy the intro is back!!! Thank you Baldi!
EPIC INTRO NEVER FAILS TO GET ME PUMPED!!!....who needs adrenal boosters, just play that into over the vox have any space marine ready to dive into the eye of terror
1:19:20 if there is ever a need for an actor to characterize Rogal Dorn. Stephen Lang would be a great pick. All I see is Stephen Lang in power armor.
What breaks my heart is that Clone Fulgrim is pretty much Fulgrim without any of the Chaos corruption clouding his mind. He was HORRIFIED learning everything his original did and the first real independent action he took was to save people from the Emperor's Children and was so compelling, even the corrupted EC Marines, for a moment, almost obeyed him.
Mortarion and Angron were always lost causes, but Fulgrim, Magnus and Horus could've done so much good for humanity if it wasn't for FUCKING EREBUS ruining everything.
The quality of these stories cannot be denied. Have you considered uploading to podcast platforms?
23:50 was actually such an inspiring quote
I've been waiting for the fulgrim video for a year and omg you have done such an amazing job thank you
This episode was amazing. Could not have been done better by anyone. Well done Baltimore.
Great work brother baldermort. I love the new extended intro as well. Long form I think is where you truly shine!
I have listen to "Rylanors last stand" almost every day, and i still get choked up, for it is truly a tragedy. The daemon Fulgrim is best summed up by Guilliman in 'Dark Imperium' ch3, "a corpse hidden in a bed of flowers".
Fulgrim was always dancing on the egde between nobility and arrogance. At his best he was an effortless paragon with superhuman grace, beauty and intelligence.
But here was a core of childishness and petulance in him. But he was generally capable of recognising his own flaws. Kinda...
Fulgrim was my favorite Primarch and once perfection was his goal it led to his downfall. If that blade was jettisoned from the ship the heresy could have ended in his book. Great story; I learned so much. Thank you faithful servant Baldermort40k you are important to the lore of 40k!!
Perhaps that was part of the "bargain", he may not inform them of what he'd gleaned. When he learned what chaos was?
This was the first video from Baldermort I ever watched and it remains by favorite to this day. His reading and the emotion he puts into it is just so well done.
This was another amazing listening experience! Fulgrim isn't really among my favourite Primarchs but you told his story into such a captivating way that the true tragedy of his journey comes across so well and emotionally. It is a great shame that he ended up in this downward spiral and became a demon primarch of Slaanesh. His downfall feels among the worst because it seemed so utterly unneccesary. And all began with the touch of a blade...
Well, it all began with the omission of truth by the Emperor. He set Fulgrim up for failure, just like the rest of them.
@@fabricatorgeneralcaz534 how?
@@tyrlant2189 Because if they had been told the truth about Chaos and the nature of the warp, they could have prepared for, resisted, and at the least just been aware of the threat. They had no clue…
@@fabricatorgeneralcaz534 yeah I wonder why he would hide that from them. If he is as great as he says, could there be a reason he planned things to turn out this way?
Edit: oh the vid addresses it sort of
@@tyrlant2189 That, my friend, is one of the great mysteries of the Imperium. It could turn out that it was planned; Until GW writes that, though, my best guess is he thought he could outwit the chaos gods. I think he underestimated them whilst overestimating himself. There is a ton of good videos by Loremasters like Baldy, Luetin, and Wolf Lord Rho that will do a better job at speculating on this than I can.
Dearest Baldermort! You remembered! Your remembered my request from so long ago, and what justice you have done it! Thank you old friend, you've made me smile this day!
Ok Baldy that intro was dope now to watch the rest of this. It definitely was me hyped
