I'd felt horrible for the fate of those psykers but never had so human a depiction of them lashed my mind so, the part where they wave goodbye to their children broke me. :'( Well written sir.
AH, brother Caledra. I know it may seem annoying, but if I give in to egotism I will be ruined. Ruined. So, you will have to put up with it. Humility is the only defence against that dark tyrant of self-centered madness that has ruined so many truly entertaining channels. (Not warhammer, other ones I loved.) Never forget I am just spinning a take of someone else's invention. A copy. Its just light entertainment. I am more confident now, this is true, but the last thing a brother should do is allow his friend to become a pri*k? I don;t want to become that guy. Do you see where I am coming from? Lets just enjoy the fun! :) :)

Dear Baldy, considering the outside world is suffering a catastrophe of epic proportions, being allowed to sit down, and listen with rapt attention to your reading of this lore is a privilege not just for myself but to the many many others, who like myself, are prohibited from building, painting and playing this wonderful pastime. Again I thank you and the lovely Mrs B for all your hard work in bringing a quite spectacular version of WH40K to us mere squibblings.
It would be cool if they made a game where you have space combat and ground combat in 40k. Like Battlefleet gothic armada gameplay to breach into a system and siege a planet and then dawn of war 2 gameplay when your forces makes planet fall. I think a blood of baal game like that would be great. Basically like empire at war galactic conquest

Also especially love the necron vids because no other TH-cam channel has talked about them as well as you and I really like the current lore videos like blood of the Phoenix because I also haven’t seen anyone else do it as well as you or at all.
Thank you, brother. We try our best at Baldermort's Guides to provide a bit of entertainment. I listen to the tribe and we get things done as best we can. There are plenty of lore channels who do the detail a lot better, usually, so I concentrate on mood and motive. I love the necrons and try to champion some of the factions that do not get the limelight as much. To me, its not the grimdark without each and every single one of them. They all deserve their time center-stage. Thank you for listening. It is very appreciated indeed.
The only other conflict that really had me on the edge of my seat like the Devastation Baal, was the Battle for Rynn’s world. (Which you should totally do a video on when you get a chance)
Thank you for another fantastic lore upload! Your voice acting is absolutely top-notch, and the background sound effects are spot-on. The production quality of your videos is truly impressive. You are very quickly becoming one of my favorite WH40k lore channels, and may be my fovorite. Thanks again for your hard work!
Thanks a million David. I hope to continue to get a lot better. Its still rough around the edges as I tend to get excited and rush things. I will try to be a lot more 'tidy' from now on and raise the game further. That is high praise indeed, as there are some real giants out there with more skill than I;ll ever have. All I have is enthusiasm. :) Thanks for watching/listening. It is very appreciated indeed. :)
You should become a voice actor. The way you capture the feel of the universe is mindblowing. I hope you do many more of these readings, i for one will be listening to them all. Also in your Khorne berzerkers video the way you do the voice is fantastic and it is how i imagine them to be. Truly great work man.
Just when I'm thinking you have the perfect voice to be voicing a Space Marine chaplain... I then go and find Barry Walts channel, and there you are. You have QUITE a talent.
I'm a blood angels player and a massive fan of them. My very first 40k army..ah, memories😃 Having this read by you was awesome🤘 You're voice is pure gold and the passion with which you narrate these is truly awe inspiring. You pull me right into the story even if I've read it before. It's almost witchery.. so the only option I can see is to declare Subscribinatus upon this channel. Preparing to upvote and push the subscribe button!.. * Upvote * * Subscribe button pushed * Brilliant work, sir 😁👍
THANK YOU!!!! And thanks for saying ‘the work’. In an age where there is a ton of silliness, people conflate product with producer. I am just a fan of warhammer. I can’t have fans. But my work can. It is not me. It is separate. Thank you for all of your kindness. :).
Thanks Tom. I am not entirely certain I will be following the entire awakening, as the books never contain the entire story unless you gain the Collectors Edition - which is utterly beyond my means. But I do hope to have other videos that may peek your interest. I will just have to see how things go. Just containing expectations. Many thanks for watching/listening. It is very appreciated indeed.
Every time the 40k writers put words like dire or grim in their lore it should auto correct to mildly inconvenient because that’s the level of threat here. There’s never a sense the blood angels or their successors are in any actual danger because they never lose. bUt BaAl- doesn’t count because they still won by Roberto ex Girlyman. They don’t even act as though they’re severely damaged by the engagement, sacrificing nonessential worlds to preserve only what they can with what depleted forces they have. It kinda brings down my enjoyment of the lore. Reading is good tho.
Pete Sinton thanks for listening. I’ll improve the recordings. But if you liked that, you should love some of them stuff I am planning for next year. We’re going to go mental and get right into it. Not just the lore, the fun narratives. Start telling some stories. I hope you will like them. Thanks again for listening. :).
Great Work !! One of the best Lore channels for W40k and the Blood Angels. At least it's not the Ultramarines and black templars who are far too idolized and favored.
Hello Baldermort, it would be great if you would make lore video on Chapter Master Dante. I think if anyone deserves it, it's him. Thank you for all the effort you put in making of these videos!
Hi brother Marko. OK, the reason I haven't touched Dante yet? Because I am a BA player. And I haven't had enough time - due to the site work - to read up on his last books. Which is both sad and pathetic. So, basically, I wanted to get it right first time and if I go in half cocked and fudge it up, I will NEVER ever forgive myself. Ever. Also there are new bits coming out for him here and there. I was concerned he might cross the Rubicon and I would have to then scrap the vid. So its not a lack of interest. Its wanting to do it too much. But we do it... oh when we do it..... Thank you for listening brother.
It seems that the Collectors Edditions include small scale stories, collected in the “Tales from the Great Rift” anthology; not necessarily the conclusion to the main story itself, but standalone stories.
IDICBeer 40k you’re supposed to be resting, Boss. I don’t expect to see you on this channel until 2020 young man. Unless it’s a painting prop. Get some rest for the love of the emperor. You do so much for everyone of us in the Unification. We need you rested. :). Thank you for watching, as always, but do try to take a break! :).
Brother Baldermort. I have an unusual question. In the 40k cultural lore, does there exist a....grimoire of Imperium cuisine? For example, everything from the Emperor's favorite dish to what the most humblest Imperium citizen would subsist on?
When I listen to a Baldermort presentation, I have the pervasive sense of being in a lecture hall, in a University on Holy Terra in the first years of M42, and at the head of the hall is Baldermort himself, holding forth on one of the myriad subjects of history, anthropology, astrogeography, xenobiology, Imperial Law and Living Word of The Emperor of Mankind and many more. And I'm absorbing every word. It's incredibly engaging every time I sit in for a different lecture, pulled in by the unique voice from the... im sitting too far back to see clearly... robed figure, but, is it a tall man, older but still hale and unbent, voice clear and powerful. Surely, he was an Iterator, unmatched in the galaxy, but he speaks of these things as one who was there, things 10,000 years gone. There's no man in The Imperium who lives for millennia... is there? See! You get lost in it when you listen to nealy 3 hours straight of Baldermort WH40k content with no break! For The Emperor! I need coffee lol
Thanks for watching, BB. Just out of interest, what made it good then? What is it particularly that you like? I can't promise anything, but if I know then I can try. :)
@@Baldermort Dude I don't know what it was but that second video made my heart pump it was great I guess it was just Sanguinius being a beast and the way you told it just felt like you were there watching beside Dorn. All your content is great. You love it & that shines through your hard work. I appreciate u carrying & always improving. Not a dis at all but I thought you'd have more subs by now. I still look for your channel to explode soon w/at least 20k subs
Not at all! Please don't worry. I know exactly what you mean actually, now you have said it. I think the Dorn II was very 'immediate' and less 'tuition/preachy'. I will have to do some more fast paced action pieces soon. I do love them. I just never have enough time for everything, but I will get there. Your feedback is always important to me. This site is not about any one person, its about being fans and chatting things through as much as anything else. Knowing that different styles are liked helps me to mix it up a bit so it doesn't get stale. For fans, but fans. Always. Well, I can only hope things pick up. I made some mistakes by putting out the little ones and the updates when the algorithm is damn hard. Basically, I am only ever as good as my last video at the moment, according to TH-cam. So If I want to grow I need to just stick to lore for a bit. Disappointing, as I really enjoyed the interaction of doing the udpates and the like, but TH-cam doesn't rate us here yet. So its just hard work until we have more 'kudos' that the algorithm will allow me to put up a 'niche' or less popular video every now and again. I can only hope that maybe one day we will get a bit more attention. I have been doing 'en-vogue' topics in an attempt to grow a bit, but only time will tell I guess. Next up is defeating my own stupidity and getting better thumbnails and maybe a new intro. Who knows? Maybe that will help. Thanks for your support and your kind words, but, most of all, thank you for your opinion. Without the feedback of other fans (and Mrs B) this site would still be pumping out trash like the first prognostication. God damn was it awful. Thank you. :)
@@Baldermort I think as long as you stay true to what you love to do you'll be just fine with whatever success you get man. Your videos make me feel like I'm hanging out talking 40K with my buddy. Which is funny because I don't have any buddys that know anything about 40K. Wish I did though. TH-cam lore & painting my like Primaris RavenGuard army is all I got.
Blue Buda dude, that is Exactly What we are doing. Hanging and talking hobby. Thanks for the advice. You are right. I may be approaching this all wrong. Hope that hobby is going well. But do try a local club, if one is reachable. Face to face is even better. I love this hobby so much. I know you’ll find someone soon dude. Always welcome here for a chat any time. Be lucky. :).
I think it is in the middle, but have to admit I still have not made time to read the full Dante and Mephiston and put it all together. I am a bad fan. :( But I am hoping to shave down my editing time to allow for more reading. Sorry I cannot be certain straight off the bat.
Baldermort's Guide to Warhammer you’re an excellent fan and it shows in your reading. Black Library could do a better job of letting us know when books are taking place.
THAT FACE!!!! with tongue sticking out, made me laugh. Its in the Picture with the Red cloud and 2 white lightning strikes. One the Right one, near the top. At 10:32 You can see the 2 eyes and the nose and Tongue. Just left of the right side lightning! Looks intentional as there's other forms of face and mouths around!!
I haven't played much in the last 10 years, but Blood Angels are my second favorite faction (after the Sororitas/Ordo Hereticus {I know they're separate, but I started them back when they were one faction in Codex Witchhunters, and they're still the same in my mind}). I don't think I own any "generic" BA HQs, I have the old metal Mephiston, Dante, Lemartes, Corbulo, and the non-death company Tycho. I still follow the lore of the game and buy the novels on Audible. If you haven't checked out Our Matyred Lady go for Audible version, it has Catherine Tate as Inquisitor Greyfax.
Absolutely excellent telling of our history brother Baldermort. Surely your vigilance makes the Emperor proud. Have you heard of this thing called Patreon brother? Many would be sure to support such an examplary member of the Logos Historica Verita.
I'm always on the look out for a voice that is perfect for certain primarchs and heroes of the books for my own theater of the mind. for example Dorn will always be the TTS Dorn, same for Magnus, Kevin Michael Richardson is Vulcan, John Hurt is Makcador, Malcolm Mcdowell is Lorgar, Alan Lee is big E, Cary Hiroyuki Tagawa is the Kahn, Steve Blum is Mortarion and you are the Lion. can't figure a good Sanguinius though. I tend to lean towards Jose Ferrer though. Any recommendations?
As much as we hear about worlds getting overwhelmed by Tyranids, I feel like there's too much plot armor for the Imperium 🤣 -Totally not a genestealer sympathizer
It’s Ancient Greece and a playwright goes to a tailor to have his clothes fixed. The tailor looks at the clothes and says “ah, Euripides” The man looks at the tailor and says “yes. Eumenides?”
Not to my knowledge. But Remliez (40K Theories) postulates that the Hive know a Primarch is on Baal - so is heading there to ingest his DNA for the hives. Scary.
Well, GW are amazing. I merely put it to sounds. I hope my own work is also to your liking. Thanks for watching/listening. It is very appreciated indeed. :)
Paul Allan damn! Well played. Tell me how that monster does in your next game. I got the old one, but will be a while before I get the new one. Tell me how that bad boy does. (If you get time.). Glad we finally got some love in this book. The rules are juicy. Can’t wait to rip and tear. :).
Big fan, love your work so understand that this is intended to be constructive. Gaol is pronounced the same as Jail. Gaol is the British spelling, jail is the US spelling.
Im also a huge fan of baldy. He is awesome. However gaol has not been the UK spelling for quite some decades now... Jail in the USA and Jail in the UK....No offense intended, just saying...
Have you ever thought of reading HP Lovecraft stories for your channel, or maybe a second channel? You would absolutely crush The Dunwich Horror, and The Rats in the Walls.
I subbed to you nearly a year ago now you have your own legion in commemoration I will paint a new word bearer orator if it's good enough I will send it to you
How convenient that a warp rift opened up right before the hive fleet was able to fully disembark on Baal. I get it, it saved the blood angels from certain extinction. I also get that the event is well balanced, tho it saved the blood angels, it also cut off half the galaxy to the wrath of the hive fleets. So the blood angels better do some extra cool shit with all that plot armor 😂
Alas, so. With some of the newer books I had wished to read them then re-word them. But I could not get anything even comparable out, so simply narrated it. If GW have an issue, ever email, I will take it down without quibble. But they do not seem to care, so I thought I would share. I see it as advertising their book. Which I hope you agree, I take a fair bash at trying to do justice. Many thanks for listening. :)

Thank you, brother. We try our best at Baldermort's Guides to provide a bit of entertainment. I listen to the tribe and we get things done as best we can.
There are plenty of lore channels who do the detail a lot better, usually, so I concentrate on mood and motive. I love the necrons and try to champion some of the factions that do not get the limelight as much. To me, its not the grimdark without each and every single one of them. They all deserve their time center-stage.
Thank you for listening. It is very appreciated indeed.
you know i am giving my soul and blood for Baal
Got a 2 day drive ahead of me and man is this series exactly what I need ❤ love from Australia, merry Christmas Baldy ❤❤
Well done, love the lore videos. thx for the work
Thank you for listening, brother. :)
The only other conflict that really had me on the edge of my seat like the Devastation Baal, was the Battle for Rynn’s world. (Which you should totally do a video on when you get a chance)
Oh, don;t worry. We will! Not yet - but soon.
Thank you listening, brother. :)
The voice the beginning wow ThankYU brother Baldermort amazing stuff
Thank you for another fantastic lore upload! Your voice acting is absolutely top-notch, and the background sound effects are spot-on. The production quality of your videos is truly impressive. You are very quickly becoming one of my favorite WH40k lore channels, and may be my fovorite. Thanks again for your hard work!
Thanks a million David. I hope to continue to get a lot better. Its still rough around the edges as I tend to get excited and rush things. I will try to be a lot more 'tidy' from now on and raise the game further. That is high praise indeed, as there are some real giants out there with more skill than I;ll ever have. All I have is enthusiasm. :)
Thanks for watching/listening. It is very appreciated indeed. :)
You should become a voice actor. The way you capture the feel of the universe is mindblowing. I hope you do many more of these readings, i for one will be listening to them all. Also in your Khorne berzerkers video the way you do the voice is fantastic and it is how i imagine them to be. Truly great work man.
Just when I'm thinking you have the perfect voice to be voicing a Space Marine chaplain... I then go and find Barry Walts channel, and there you are. You have QUITE a talent.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
At about 45:00 the beast that was siphoning astropaths to command and control functions--is this not what the Emperor does?
So glad I discovered your channel! Dude, your voice is awesome!!!
Thank you for listening, brother Bumble. :)
I'm a blood angels player and a massive fan of them. My very first 40k army..ah, memories😃 Having this read by you was awesome🤘 You're voice is pure gold and the passion with which you narrate these is truly awe inspiring. You pull me right into the story even if I've read it before. It's almost witchery.. so the only option I can see is to declare Subscribinatus upon this channel. Preparing to upvote and push the subscribe button!.. * Upvote * * Subscribe button pushed * Brilliant work, sir 😁👍
I have only know about you for a week or more but I am already a massive fan of your work.
THANK YOU!!!! And thanks for saying ‘the work’. In an age where there is a ton of silliness, people conflate product with producer.
I am just a fan of warhammer. I can’t have fans. But my work can. It is not me. It is separate.
Thank you for all of your kindness. :).
Woow even my adhd stops f*cking around when I listen to your videos you my good sire are a legend
Thank you, brother. I am glad it gives some respite, no matter how short.
Thanks for listening. :)
Actually superb video! Looking forward to following future videos of yours, especially on the Psychic Awakening campaign 😁
Thanks Tom. I am not entirely certain I will be following the entire awakening, as the books never contain the entire story unless you gain the Collectors Edition - which is utterly beyond my means. But I do hope to have other videos that may peek your interest. I will just have to see how things go. Just containing expectations.
Many thanks for watching/listening. It is very appreciated indeed.
Another great job sir.
Every time the 40k writers put words like dire or grim in their lore it should auto correct to mildly inconvenient because that’s the level of threat here. There’s never a sense the blood angels or their successors are in any actual danger because they never lose. bUt BaAl- doesn’t count because they still won by Roberto ex Girlyman. They don’t even act as though they’re severely damaged by the engagement, sacrificing nonessential worlds to preserve only what they can with what depleted forces they have.
It kinda brings down my enjoyment of the lore. Reading is good tho.
That was great,you certainly have a talent for narration.Had all the images in my minds eye as your words wrote the page.Thankyou.
Pete Sinton thanks for listening. I’ll improve the recordings. But if you liked that, you should love some of them stuff I am planning for next year. We’re going to go mental and get right into it. Not just the lore, the fun narratives. Start telling some stories. I hope you will like them.
Thanks again for listening. :).
Certainly look forward to it sir.
Great Work !!
One of the best Lore channels for W40k and the Blood Angels.
At least it's not the Ultramarines and black templars who are far too idolized and favored.
Very good work sir. I look forward to your every addition. Keep up the good work.
Stunning narration as always!!
Hello Baldermort, it would be great if you would make lore video on Chapter Master Dante. I think if anyone deserves it, it's him. Thank you for all the effort you put in making of these videos!
Hi brother Marko. OK, the reason I haven't touched Dante yet? Because I am a BA player. And I haven't had enough time - due to the site work - to read up on his last books. Which is both sad and pathetic. So, basically, I wanted to get it right first time and if I go in half cocked and fudge it up, I will NEVER ever forgive myself. Ever.
Also there are new bits coming out for him here and there. I was concerned he might cross the Rubicon and I would have to then scrap the vid. So its not a lack of interest. Its wanting to do it too much. But we do it... oh when we do it.....
Thank you for listening brother.
Bloody awesome 👍👍👍👍 your talented,love your lore 👍👍👍👍
This is awesome i love the nids and perfect voice 4 warhammer
“Toodle-loo”
New to the lore I'm a huge Gabriel Seth Fan. Hoping you do something with him. You have a great channel, You are a great narrator. HUGE FAN.
Thank you brother Sanders II. :)
Hey man I just found your channel. Your voice is amazing! You ever think of reading famous Primarch quotes? Or famous Space Marine quotes?
I'm trying to get around to putting more quotes into the videos. :)
Thanks for watching, brother. :)
It seems that the Collectors Edditions include small scale stories, collected in the “Tales from the Great Rift” anthology; not necessarily the conclusion to the main story itself, but standalone stories.
“Bloodscape”... that’s a new one. Imma keep that, lol
Blood and Duty: Angels of Death bought me here
Hats off to you , gentle reader
Really enjoyed that
IDICBeer 40k you’re supposed to be resting, Boss. I don’t expect to see you on this channel until 2020 young man.
Unless it’s a painting prop. Get some rest for the love of the emperor. You do so much for everyone of us in the Unification. We need you rested. :).
Thank you for watching, as always, but do try to take a break! :).
@@Baldermort Ha ha don't worry, I was painting, managed to get one more done, just 24 left now
That's ok then. LOL. Not like you need my permission or anything, I am just concerned. Ouch. Noise marines as well. Heavy going. Keep at it, boss. :)
Brother Baldermort. I have an unusual question. In the 40k cultural lore, does there exist a....grimoire of Imperium cuisine? For example, everything from the Emperor's favorite dish to what the most humblest Imperium citizen would subsist on?
Emperor EATS!!! ................... 10,000 SOULS!!!......... per! DAY!!!
I heard it here on this channel. Gospel. I have suggested he start Keto.
@@carljhirst Sounds like a good idea.
Who in the world gave this a Thumbs Down? This is beautiful.
When I listen to a Baldermort presentation, I have the pervasive sense of being in a lecture hall, in a University on Holy Terra in the first years of M42, and at the head of the hall is Baldermort himself, holding forth on one of the myriad subjects of history, anthropology, astrogeography, xenobiology, Imperial Law and Living Word of The Emperor of Mankind and many more. And I'm absorbing every word. It's incredibly engaging every time I sit in for a different lecture, pulled in by the unique voice from the... im sitting too far back to see clearly... robed figure, but, is it a tall man, older but still hale and unbent, voice clear and powerful. Surely, he was an Iterator, unmatched in the galaxy, but he speaks of these things as one who was there, things 10,000 years gone. There's no man in The Imperium who lives for millennia... is there?
See! You get lost in it when you listen to nealy 3 hours straight of Baldermort WH40k content with no break! For The Emperor!
I need coffee lol
Wonderful work! Thank you
You have so much talent Mr. B !
Just some razzamatazz. *jazz hands* Thanks for watching shadowsift. It is appreciated. :)
IM HOOKED ON ALL THINGS WARHAMMER 40K NOW, THANK YOU I LISTEN WHILE I PAINT 🐲🐉🐉
Enjoyed this. Thanks.
Thanks Stevo. Appreciate it. :)
(No, I haven't forgotten. Working on it.)
Tabletop battles the Orks kicked my ass
This was awesome. I loved it. Best since the 2nd Dorn vid.
Thanks for watching, BB. Just out of interest, what made it good then? What is it particularly that you like? I can't promise anything, but if I know then I can try. :)
@@Baldermort
Dude I don't know what it was but that second video made my heart pump it was great I guess it was just Sanguinius being a beast and the way you told it just felt like you were there watching beside Dorn. All your content is great. You love it & that shines through your hard work. I appreciate u carrying & always improving. Not a dis at all but I thought you'd have more subs by now. I still look for your channel to explode soon w/at least 20k subs
Not at all! Please don't worry. I know exactly what you mean actually, now you have said it. I think the Dorn II was very 'immediate' and less 'tuition/preachy'. I will have to do some more fast paced action pieces soon. I do love them. I just never have enough time for everything, but I will get there.
Your feedback is always important to me. This site is not about any one person, its about being fans and chatting things through as much as anything else. Knowing that different styles are liked helps me to mix it up a bit so it doesn't get stale.
For fans, but fans. Always.
Well, I can only hope things pick up. I made some mistakes by putting out the little ones and the updates when the algorithm is damn hard. Basically, I am only ever as good as my last video at the moment, according to TH-cam. So If I want to grow I need to just stick to lore for a bit. Disappointing, as I really enjoyed the interaction of doing the udpates and the like, but TH-cam doesn't rate us here yet. So its just hard work until we have more 'kudos' that the algorithm will allow me to put up a 'niche' or less popular video every now and again. I can only hope that maybe one day we will get a bit more attention. I have been doing 'en-vogue' topics in an attempt to grow a bit, but only time will tell I guess.
Next up is defeating my own stupidity and getting better thumbnails and maybe a new intro. Who knows? Maybe that will help.
Thanks for your support and your kind words, but, most of all, thank you for your opinion. Without the feedback of other fans (and Mrs B) this site would still be pumping out trash like the first prognostication. God damn was it awful.
Thank you. :)
@@Baldermort
I think as long as you stay true to what you love to do you'll be just fine with whatever success you get man. Your videos make me feel like I'm hanging out talking 40K with my buddy. Which is funny because I don't have any buddys that know anything about 40K. Wish I did though. TH-cam lore & painting my like Primaris RavenGuard army is all I got.
Blue Buda dude, that is Exactly What we are doing. Hanging and talking hobby.
Thanks for the advice. You are right. I may be approaching this all wrong.
Hope that hobby is going well. But do try a local club, if one is reachable. Face to face is even better. I love this hobby so much. I know you’ll find someone soon dude. Always welcome here for a chat any time.
Be lucky. :).
Anyone know when in this timeline the Mephiston series of books takes place?
I think it is in the middle, but have to admit I still have not made time to read the full Dante and Mephiston and put it all together. I am a bad fan. :( But I am hoping to shave down my editing time to allow for more reading. Sorry I cannot be certain straight off the bat.
Baldermort's Guide to Warhammer you’re an excellent fan and it shows in your reading. Black Library could do a better job of letting us know when books are taking place.
THAT FACE!!!! with tongue sticking out, made me laugh. Its in the Picture with the Red cloud and 2 white lightning strikes. One the Right one, near the top.
At 10:32 You can see the 2 eyes and the nose and Tongue. Just left of the right side lightning! Looks intentional as there's other forms of face and mouths around!!
Have you considered covering Home-brew chapters like the Pretty Marines of the Angry Marines?
April 1st is coming. All things are possible on that hallowed morning. :)
Loving your stuff old son.
Superior to all other content creators...
From Australia.
🤓🤓🤓🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
my native language is not English. your tone is great. I enjoy listening to your channel and improve my English. and thank you very much.
Your voice sounds like the ungodly spawn of David Attenborough and Darth Sidious
I will say this: it was the standard Blood of Baal that made me decide to do Blood Angels for my 9th Edition army.
I haven't played much in the last 10 years, but Blood Angels are my second favorite faction (after the Sororitas/Ordo Hereticus {I know they're separate, but I started them back when they were one faction in Codex Witchhunters, and they're still the same in my mind}). I don't think I own any "generic" BA HQs, I have the old metal Mephiston, Dante, Lemartes, Corbulo, and the non-death company Tycho.
I still follow the lore of the game and buy the novels on Audible. If you haven't checked out Our Matyred Lady go for Audible version, it has Catherine Tate as Inquisitor Greyfax.
One of the best video ever
Absolutely excellent telling of our history brother Baldermort. Surely your vigilance makes the Emperor proud. Have you heard of this thing called Patreon brother? Many would be sure to support such an examplary member of the Logos Historica Verita.
I'm always on the look out for a voice that is perfect for certain primarchs and heroes of the books for my own theater of the mind. for example Dorn will always be the TTS Dorn, same for Magnus, Kevin Michael Richardson is Vulcan, John Hurt is Makcador, Malcolm Mcdowell is Lorgar, Alan Lee is big E, Cary Hiroyuki Tagawa is the Kahn, Steve Blum is Mortarion and you are the Lion. can't figure a good Sanguinius though. I tend to lean towards Jose Ferrer though. Any recommendations?
As much as we hear about worlds getting overwhelmed by Tyranids, I feel like there's too much plot armor for the Imperium 🤣 -Totally not a genestealer sympathizer
Bad ass , your a lore master , you cool brv 👍
If you did audiobooks, I will buy the books you read just to hear that dope voice.
Again... Enthralled listening...
For the Emperor and the algorithm!
Please Lord Baldermort, do a video on Mephiston. He has always been my favourite character
It’s Ancient Greece and a playwright goes to a tailor to have his clothes fixed.
The tailor looks at the clothes and says “ah, Euripides”
The man looks at the tailor and says “yes. Eumenides?”
ROFL!!!!
Classy. You are a man of many talents. :)
Are the blood angels Baldy's favorite chapter?
Assessment: Very likely.
that was some cliffhanger
Did they confirm why the Tyranids keep coming after Baal?
Not to my knowledge. But Remliez (40K Theories) postulates that the Hive know a Primarch is on Baal - so is heading there to ingest his DNA for the hives. Scary.
Perhaps. If the Hive Mind gobbled up his body, wonder if it would ‘catch’ Black Rage?
Nids with the black rage thats scary!!!
Yesssss! 💪
A little bit of BA to tide you over. Thanks for listening. :)
Good stuff!
This is awesome
Well, GW are amazing. I merely put it to sounds. I hope my own work is also to your liking.
Thanks for watching/listening. It is very appreciated indeed. :)
Baldermort's Guide to Warhammer
I was just reading the book and saw this, I put Mephiston together while listening.
Thank you
Paul Allan damn! Well played. Tell me how that monster does in your next game. I got the old one, but will be a while before I get the new one. Tell me how that bad boy does. (If you get time.). Glad we finally got some love in this book. The rules are juicy. Can’t wait to rip and tear. :).
Love some tyranids. Very well read.
Big fan, love your work so understand that this is intended to be constructive. Gaol is pronounced the same as Jail. Gaol is the British spelling, jail is the US spelling.
Im also a huge fan of baldy. He is awesome. However gaol has not been the UK spelling for quite some decades now... Jail in the USA and Jail in the UK....No offense intended, just saying...
Have you ever thought of reading HP Lovecraft stories for your channel, or maybe a second channel? You would absolutely crush The Dunwich Horror, and The Rats in the Walls.
What is the status of the Leviathan Tyranid army?
WHAT?! They ended it in a cliffhanger?!?!?! They pulled an EA on people over a book, I can't believe it
I subbed to you nearly a year ago now you have your own legion in commemoration I will paint a new word bearer orator if it's good enough I will send it to you
All I can say is, thank you brother Mind. :) :) :)
I hope its improved. :)
You legend!!!!
Thanks for listening/watching as always Mellorton. Hope its ok. I was a bit knackered yesterday.
Love your channel dude! Your voice is 40k incarnate :p has GW approached you yet? ;) keep up the great work ;)
Hey is this when dantes sees the sanguinor?
You seem like a cool dude man thanks 4 all your effort...you neex 2 work 4 audible! 💂♂️🇬🇧
Excellent all the less!
How convenient that a warp rift opened up right before the hive fleet was able to fully disembark on Baal. I get it, it saved the blood angels from certain extinction. I also get that the event is well balanced, tho it saved the blood angels, it also cut off half the galaxy to the wrath of the hive fleets. So the blood angels better do some extra cool shit with all that plot armor 😂
Is this the same story as the Devastation of Baal novel?
Well done
Is this reading coming from The Blood of Baal?
Alas, so. With some of the newer books I had wished to read them then re-word them. But I could not get anything even comparable out, so simply narrated it. If GW have an issue, ever email, I will take it down without quibble. But they do not seem to care, so I thought I would share. I see it as advertising their book. Which I hope you agree, I take a fair bash at trying to do justice.
Many thanks for listening. :)
