Most people are shouting THE LION, THE LION! But in a small corner of the galaxy, there is few who know of one more noble and shout BALDERMORT! BALDERMORT!When i stumbles across this channel, i thought it was luck, now i know it was the emperor who guided me here. Love the content, thank you again for another amazing video! For The Lion, For Emperor, FOR BALDERMORT !!
@@Baldermort This video carried me through my first ever half marathon. It distraced my mind from the voice which constantly told me: "Just stop, your joints are in pain and you´ll get a sunburn, there is no point in running any further". Probably some chaos trickery that tried to sneak into my head. Blessed is the mind that is too busy for doubt 😁 Thank you so much for this and all the other videos brother Baldermort.

ARKS OF OMEN - THE LION - FULL READ THROUGH The final episode in the Arks of Omen plotline, this is the full entry for the Lion. The return of the Primarch Lion El Johnson, and the conclusion to the campaign run by Vashtorr the Arkifane and Abaddon the Despoiler. Here is where the arks of omen concludes. Disclaimer: Alas, I had been informed that many people were unable to gain this book. Hence, for your delectation, and because I have severe back pain and am unable to think, I have presented this document word for word. Note: The art is not linked to the narrative as my back ache has made sitting near impossible for extended durations. And, as most people listen only, I thought I would just get on with it and put it out. I hope, when better, to be able to make the imagery follow the narrative again on my videos. A long weekend offering for the community here on the guides. I sincerely I hope I have not messed it up in my befuddled condition.

Praise the Emperor the mighty Baldermort delivers! I cannot wait to listen to this! Thank you Baldermort. Your work is so greatly appreciated. You quest is noble, and your cause just! Keep fighting the good fight!
As a former Paratrooper who broke his back I am very sorry you are going through the pain I hope you can find some relief. I use heating pads for sleep and I occasionally get into super hot bath water for a while. I hope these help.
You 🐱 jump again, rub some dirt in your spine and drink water, take some ibuprofen. Jk i know the gawd damn feel brother. 55 jumps later not only do i have a sudden fear of heights but my knees and back are fkd. Had a jump without main chute deployment too, pulled reserve it wrapped around me. Luckily my main decided to catch air 100ft before the ground but i broke my optic off my rifle, broke my mbitr in half and 117f didn’t work.
@@FormerGovernmentHumanmy buddy was an airborne ranger (tabbed) he snap crackle pops every time he moves. Between his hips and joints and my fused spine we form one pissed off individual lol. He is also a space wolves player and i play dark angels after getting him to pick up warhammer so it was destined to be i suppose brothers who fight lol. I do rib it in his face that my daddy is back everytime i pull out my lion mini lol.
Your eloquent delivery harkens back to a swiftly dying age of excellence in fiction. Your work is truly a blessing an escape in a world that seeks to unmake itself. Thank you.
What I think I really like about the Arks of Omen story is that, in terms of it's narrative construction, Vashtorr was the protagonist. They drop a new character for the faction known by the fanbase to have problems with winning, gave him a whole introductory story with ups and downs for him, and let him win. A fantastic introduction for a new villian.
Half my night shift will be spent listening. From tiresome waking hours it suddenly became amazing storytime. Thanks Baldemort!! Only half hour in and im already amazed.
I am so excited for this!! I have been avoiding everyone else's impressions and readings from the Lion's return because I just knew you would do it the most justice! Thank you Baldermort!
By Sanguinius it’s good to see you Baldermort! You are the single most important influence on me getting into 40K. Your video on the formation of Astartes chapters with the Blood Spear and the old general was the influence to make my own Blood Angel successor chapter. I can’t thank you enough for all your hard work and passion. May the Great Angel guide you
Gonna go with the other brothers here. Jee Dubz is a soulless corporate shill for Whizzers on the Coast and HazBro', all of whom do not like it when anyone with actual talent tries to tell them, teach them, or otherwise dictate to them what **THEIR HOLY OPINION** should comprise concerning quality work. As such, they won't hire capable, qualified people who have a mind of their own. They'd rather hire one or two hotshot die-hards and stack their cash/business model so they can make more profit for less negotiation.
I'm only on the first 25 minutes and its already some of the best storytelling I have EVER heard. I mean, I have never heard anyone so good at these forms of narrative, or any form of narrative for that manner. And I have heard thousands of hours of oratory. You are genuinely the best orator and writer I have ever encountered in my nearly 15,000 hours of listening to audiobooks of both fiction and non-fiction (primarily), podcasts, documentaries, etc., you exceed all of them in quality of narration and tie the best of them (the best of which were all non-fiction, excluding you now) for quality of content. This was amazing after a long night of drinking and partying on Saturday, and now while I'm making jewelry on Monday, this is the quintessence of brilliance. Thank you.
As someone who simply doesn't have the time to read hard copy books, I appreciate this immensely. As an Audiobook lover who is also a warhammer fanatic, I appreciate this truly kingly gift beyond words. Where is your patreon?
@@TKUltra971 i love the collection audible has! I do fear that I saw mention of The Arks of Omen would not make it to audible, and at the very least I feel immense gratitude that Lord Baldemort saw fit to gift us with his Arks of Omen series.
@@FailAries Agreed brother I predominantly listen to 40k on Audible Just finished The Lion, son of ghr Forest today I didnt want to order the Hardback...as i typically liaten to Audible while im working or driving. This is a God Send from Baldermort
If this reading is you in your befuddled condition. Woe to those that embrace the darkness. As a 40k newbie. Your channel is a fantastic entry into the 40k verse. Thank you Baldermort. The Emperor protects.
3 hours?? Damn, I have to go to a graduation today and I have work tomorrow and sunday but I promise I'll come back and listen to this sometime this weekend....gonna get so much painting done when I listen to this. It sucks to read that your back isnt getting better though, get well soon Balders!
ABSOLUTE LEGEND MAN!!!!! Thx Balders Listing to the fallen talk to el Johnson I’ve come to a realization both the fallen and the unforgiven were two sides of the same coin split apart for 10 thousand years both factions had their secrets but a inner circle high command that knew the truth of what happened on Caliban with ordinary marines unaware of the truth. Most fallen dark angles are in fact loyal to the emperor believing it was the lion that betrayed them but now that their father has returns to set things strait the two sides of the story are finally peace’s back together like a tapestry most fallen can be redeemed while those marines the inner circle around Luther are the ones that fell to chaos the true fallen that can never be fully redeemed.
Excellent as always. I am loving the new Dark Angels lore. Redemption of the Fallen through the jaws of the Lion is something I did not expect. Green knight mythology intact. Tester, teacher and redeemer of knights.
@DavidSharpMSc We don't know. He wasn't mentioned at all in the book. I suspect that Cypher hasn't met the Lion yet, but must have heard od him by now.
I’m ashamed to say I’m too broke after some hospital bills to enjoy any new books right now But God emperor bless you! I can heal in some peace and entertainment! I’m literally crying I’m so happy! It’s hard to even go to the store for me but to hear this truly makes me happy! BLESS YOU ALL!!!
@@Baldermort I used to be in the marines. I was 185 pounds. Able to run or outrun with the best of them. But after I blew my knee out a few years ago I can barely go up the stairs to take a piss. I was a leader nobody expected because I was a nerd. My higher ups could hear in my voice I was from NYC, so they knew I had an major attitude problem. I always took care of my guys regardless of what dumb orders we got. I was the loudest, angriest Cpl who didn’t let anyone bully his marines. Now tho? This surgery has been one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. I WILL COME BACK STRONGER! The shame of my weakness weighs so heavily on me…. But I know my 2 friends who passed away would want me to rise up from this! Reading or listening to war hammer fuels my pride as an old used up marine! And I CANT THANK YOU ENOUGH! For the lion! For the emperor of mankind!! For humanity, semper Fi!!!
I am so sorry I did not see this brother. :( (I do not always see responses at all!) Just remember, your power came from within. The balls, strength and attitude, the ability and willing to go against asinine orders, your courage. They had nothing to do with your fitness. I cannot thank you enough for your service. All I can say is that many men probably owe you their lives. Let alone those you defended in your roll. Your entire community and country. Words. They mean little, but I hope you can hear the intent behind them. You will get through this and thrive. Just try to remember that you are who you are not because of what you can lift, run, push or pull. It is the fighting spirit of the warrior that burns within you. And that cannot ever be taken away or dimmed, no matter what fortune does to your vehicle. the body. You got this. |Thank you for your service!
You are a god damn god send. I have not read a 40k book in years, I get all my info from guys like you, and I really appreciate this. You did amazing work. Seriously, thank you brother.
I can't stop listening to this over and over again.. The opening dialogue alone with bors and the lion is so well voiced.. "WE WERE FALLEN! And to the unforgiven we still will be!"
You have my thanks and appreciation for your thorough and detailed recounting Librarian Baldermort. You have made the Emperor and the Lion proud on this day. Glory to the First Legion
I love that Lion finally has humor, and your voice does a wonderful job personifying these wonderful characters! Glad to hear you once more, o wise servo-skull
I'm a bit late to this party, I was waiting for a day when I could lie back in comfort and immerse myself, start to finish, in this utter MAGNIFICENCE. A fine tale, masterfully told. Thank you kindly, fellow baldy. Thank you kindly.
Thank you so much for this amazing reading Baldermort. This is an incredible gift to give to us! I am very excited to enjoy the return of the Lion via your amazing Narration skills!
this is honestly the second time I have listened to this story and sir you are a professional and a godsend to those of us who can't dedicate the time for reading, or afford the material, and for that sir I salute you thank you and have a great day
I’m glad to see you went on to do The Lion after all. Great to hear you voice his character and bring life to the end of 9th Ed.’s narrative as only you can do.
This was the single greatest 3hrs of my life...now I know why there are so may Dark Angel players....blown away by this lore...thanx Baldermort for you excellent video!
Spectacular work! and, a truly large undertaking that I am yet to dare try. I can only imagine the time this might take to edit and render, no matter record! Again, truly wonderful.
May you be blessed, good sir. I really wanted to know the story, but didn´t want to buy an expensive book for just one read. Your voice is really nice to listen to.
The Lion Returns, narrated by our favoritest faithful servant, the great, yet humble Baldermort. Thank you for your narration of this story. I've been waiting to hear how Lion El'Johnson makes his return. Kind of a bummer things had to get even worse for the galaxy, but it's a great story nonetheless.
This is wonderful. I just finished Lion, Son of the Forest on audible and was regretful the the AoO storyline following the Dark Angels wasn't offered that way. But you have created it! I've enjoyed this very, very much. I am certain that you must've filled in many gaps in the writing with your own material. And whatever you've crafted is extremely well done, not to mention your trademark narration. Thank you for presenting this to us!
Aah yes the first time I was ever blessed with Baldemorts voice it was the fall of cadia for 4 hours straight on a Sunday afternoon this was no different I listened to every single word of this til its conclusion thank you for your service kind sir excellent job!!
This is a true gift to Warhammer fans across the board. I am an avid Audible listener and was saddened with the reality that this story probably would not be there. The quality and voice acting of this narration is just as good if not better than some of the books on Audible. Thank you, Lord Baldemort.
About to finish “son of the forest” on audible and realised there wasn’t anything else to follow onto there. Thank god you dropped this I can’t wait to listen to it at work today
Brother Baldermort: Never, since the day Sanguinuis single-handedly held the traitors at bay at the foot of The Eternity Gate for hours on end during the Siege of Terra has so much been owed to one individual. This was glorious to listen to! Thank you for your effort. Hope you're doing better now in regards to all your issues. Take care of yourself!
Brother Baldermort or should I say Chaplain Bald... I can't get over those shorts you did with Brother Barry. They are hilarious. Anyway, while I prefer your fanfiction. I really enjoyed this one as well. Hope you get better soon. If we need to start a "Baldermort's servo skull wheelchair procurement go fund me," page. Just let me know. Im sure the subs and I would be able to get you nothing less than the Emperor's finest.

Actually he said that to Curze
@@themannis479 nope
Most people are shouting THE LION, THE LION! But in a small corner of the galaxy, there is few who know of one more noble and shout BALDERMORT! BALDERMORT!When i stumbles across this channel, i thought it was luck, now i know it was the emperor who guided me here.
Love the content, thank you again for another amazing video!
For The Lion, For Emperor, FOR BALDERMORT !!
A small token of appreciation for the work you must have put in to make this video.
Nothing small about any token brother. Thank you!!!
*bows to brother Carl*
@@Baldermort This video carried me through my first ever half marathon. It distraced my mind from the voice which constantly told me: "Just stop, your joints are in pain and you´ll get a sunburn, there is no point in running any further". Probably some chaos trickery that tried to sneak into my head. Blessed is the mind that is too busy for doubt 😁
Thank you so much for this and all the other videos brother Baldermort.
The emperor protects!!!
A Marathon? respect brother Carl. Respect!
ARKS OF OMEN - THE LION - FULL READ THROUGH
The final episode in the Arks of Omen plotline, this is the full entry for the Lion.
The return of the Primarch Lion El Johnson, and the conclusion to the campaign run by Vashtorr the Arkifane and Abaddon the Despoiler. Here is where the arks of omen concludes.
Disclaimer:
Alas, I had been informed that many people were unable to gain this book. Hence, for your delectation, and because I have severe back pain and am unable to think, I have presented this document word for word.
Note: The art is not linked to the narrative as my back ache has made sitting near impossible for extended durations. And, as most people listen only, I thought I would just get on with it and put it out. I hope, when better, to be able to make the imagery follow the narrative again on my videos.
A long weekend offering for the community here on the guides. I sincerely I hope I have not messed it up in my befuddled condition.

Bless you Balders for this awesome video, I wish you and amazing weekend and I hope you feel 100% soon!
YEEEES!😁 It's so good to hear from you Uncle Baldy. Glad to know ur doing better man, and the patience was always worth it. LION VS ANGRON LETS GO!
Let’s help out Balders who works so hard for use, please share this video
Hope you get better soon. 🙏
A Interaction for the Interaction God, a Comment for the Comment Throne, for the Almighty Algorithm
Praise the Emperor the mighty Baldermort delivers! I cannot wait to listen to this! Thank you Baldermort. Your work is so greatly appreciated. You quest is noble, and your cause just! Keep fighting the good fight!
The noble bard does not fail to deliver!
As a former Paratrooper who broke his back I am very sorry you are going through the pain
I hope you can find some relief. I use heating pads for sleep and I occasionally get into super hot bath water for a while.
I hope these help.
Thank you for your service brother.
Thank you both for service!
You 🐱 jump again, rub some dirt in your spine and drink water, take some ibuprofen.
Jk i know the gawd damn feel brother. 55 jumps later not only do i have a sudden fear of heights but my knees and back are fkd. Had a jump without main chute deployment too, pulled reserve it wrapped around me. Luckily my main decided to catch air 100ft before the ground but i broke my optic off my rifle, broke my mbitr in half and 117f didn’t work.
@@FormerGovernmentHumanmy buddy was an airborne ranger (tabbed) he snap crackle pops every time he moves. Between his hips and joints and my fused spine we form one pissed off individual lol. He is also a space wolves player and i play dark angels after getting him to pick up warhammer so it was destined to be i suppose brothers who fight lol. I do rib it in his face that my daddy is back everytime i pull out my lion mini lol.
For something so many of us couldn't get cheers
Thank you brother.
*bows to brother Joestar*
AT LAST! HE'S RETURNED!!!
FULL READ?! You're too kind, Baldemort
Your eloquent delivery harkens back to a swiftly dying age of excellence in fiction. Your work is truly a blessing an escape in a world that seeks to unmake itself.
Thank you.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Man when Baldemort hits you with " THE...LION" perfection. Love these videos
When he said “Who are you my sons?!” I even screamed “Dark Angels!” In my car during my commute lol got me pumped!
What I think I really like about the Arks of Omen story is that, in terms of it's narrative construction, Vashtorr was the protagonist. They drop a new character for the faction known by the fanbase to have problems with winning, gave him a whole introductory story with ups and downs for him, and let him win. A fantastic introduction for a new villian.
Half my night shift will be spent listening. From tiresome waking hours it suddenly became amazing storytime. Thanks Baldemort!! Only half hour in and im already amazed.
I am so excited for this!! I have been avoiding everyone else's impressions and readings from the Lion's return because I just knew you would do it the most justice!
Thank you Baldermort!
You have such a rich and acculturated way of reading, it’s truly a privilege to be able to follow such an artist.
Get well soon Brother B!
I am so sorry I missed this brother. I have had an atrocious year. My humble apologies.
*bows low to brother Fla*
For the many hours of enthralling entertainment. I only wish i could contribute more
Thank you for the awesome content! I've been getting into 40k books recently and this is a perfect sequel to The Lion: Son Of The Forest
By Sanguinius it’s good to see you Baldermort! You are the single most important influence on me getting into 40K. Your video on the formation of Astartes chapters with the Blood Spear and the old general was the influence to make my own Blood Angel successor chapter. I can’t thank you enough for all your hard work and passion. May the Great Angel guide you
I hope you also heard the follow up story to that one, on Bolters.
My only regret, is that I can't give this more likes. Exceptional work, as always, Baldermort.
It's a crime GW haven't hired Baldermort to cover their Black Library novels.
Not all great people will be honored.. But we know his work, and for now it is enough..
It's better that he doesn't take the gold of chaos lords at GW
@@davidb3155he can take the audible book speaker position. I'd buy them again just to hear him.
Gonna go with the other brothers here. Jee Dubz is a soulless corporate shill for Whizzers on the Coast and HazBro', all of whom do not like it when anyone with actual talent tries to tell them, teach them, or otherwise dictate to them what **THEIR HOLY OPINION** should comprise concerning quality work. As such, they won't hire capable, qualified people who have a mind of their own. They'd rather hire one or two hotshot die-hards and stack their cash/business model so they can make more profit for less negotiation.
Huge necro, but I do like John Keeble's narration in the heresy series.
You’re the Man! The Voice of 40K!!
The Remebrancer is definitely your First Company Captain.
Check out A Vox In The Void and A Border Prince as well.
I'm only on the first 25 minutes and its already some of the best storytelling I have EVER heard.
I mean, I have never heard anyone so good at these forms of narrative, or any form of narrative for that manner. And I have heard thousands of hours of oratory. You are genuinely the best orator and writer I have ever encountered in my nearly 15,000 hours of listening to audiobooks of both fiction and non-fiction (primarily), podcasts, documentaries, etc., you exceed all of them in quality of narration and tie the best of them (the best of which were all non-fiction, excluding you now) for quality of content.
This was amazing after a long night of drinking and partying on Saturday, and now while I'm making jewelry on Monday, this is the quintessence of brilliance. Thank you.
Thank you so much for such rare praise brother. I hope I can only improve. :)
@@Baldermort Thank you my dear sir.
@@Baldermortbrother, YOU are for me, the best lore channel. Your voice is blessed by the Emperor himself.
As someone who simply doesn't have the time to read hard copy books, I appreciate this immensely. As an Audiobook lover who is also a warhammer fanatic, I appreciate this truly kingly gift beyond words. Where is your patreon?
@@TKUltra971 i love the collection audible has! I do fear that I saw mention of The Arks of Omen would not make it to audible, and at the very least I feel immense gratitude that Lord Baldemort saw fit to gift us with his Arks of Omen series.
Seconded
@@FailAries Agreed brother
I predominantly listen to 40k on Audible
Just finished The Lion, son of ghr Forest today
I didnt want to order the Hardback...as i typically liaten to Audible while im working or driving.
This is a God Send from Baldermort
Patreon is in the about section
Thanks For All Your Hard Work.
I am so sorry I missed this generosity brother Veda. I am so sorry.
*bows to brother VedaRa*
Your Vashtor voice was absolutely amazing. Could listen to that all day
Awesome! Good to see the book narrated by my favourite 40k narrator, cheers!
Cheers
I've been so hoping someone would do this, and no one better than you! Thank you!
If this reading is you in your befuddled condition. Woe to those that embrace the darkness.
As a 40k newbie. Your channel is a fantastic entry into the 40k verse. Thank you Baldermort. The Emperor protects.
May I kiss your 40k newbie Bwi'ish patriot geezer behind? I'm gay
Thanks, have been waiting for this one!
Sorry! I am an idiot. My humble apologies.
*bows low to brother Reak*
3 hours?? Damn, I have to go to a graduation today and I have work tomorrow and sunday but I promise I'll come back and listen to this sometime this weekend....gonna get so much painting done when I listen to this.
It sucks to read that your back isnt getting better though, get well soon Balders!
ABSOLUTE LEGEND MAN!!!!! Thx Balders
Listing to the fallen talk to el Johnson I’ve come to a realization both the fallen and the unforgiven were two sides of the same coin split apart for 10 thousand years both factions had their secrets but a inner circle high command that knew the truth of what happened on Caliban with ordinary marines unaware of the truth.
Most fallen dark angles are in fact loyal to the emperor believing it was the lion that betrayed them but now that their father has returns to set things strait the two sides of the story are finally peace’s back together like a tapestry most fallen can be redeemed while those marines the inner circle around Luther are the ones that fell to chaos the true fallen that can never be fully redeemed.
I was daydreaming about having this just the other day. Thank you so much. For EVERYTHING you do. 🙏🏼
Excellent as always. I am loving the new Dark Angels lore. Redemption of the Fallen through the jaws of the Lion is something I did not expect. Green knight mythology intact. Tester, teacher and redeemer of knights.
What happened to Cypher? Did he meet Lion?
@DavidSharpMSc We don't know. He wasn't mentioned at all in the book. I suspect that Cypher hasn't met the Lion yet, but must have heard od him by now.
@@Boomkokogamez Thanks mate, I am dying to find out how the whole cypher plotline works out
I’m ashamed to say I’m too broke after some hospital bills to enjoy any new books right now
But God emperor bless you! I can heal in some peace and entertainment! I’m literally crying I’m so happy! It’s hard to even go to the store for me but to hear this truly makes me happy! BLESS YOU ALL!!!
Why ashamed? You got ill. You’ll be ok. Your worth is not measured in affluence brother.
@@Baldermort I used to be in the marines. I was 185 pounds. Able to run or outrun with the best of them. But after I blew my knee out a few years ago I can barely go up the stairs to take a piss. I was a leader nobody expected because I was a nerd. My higher ups could hear in my voice I was from NYC, so they knew I had an major attitude problem. I always took care of my guys regardless of what dumb orders we got. I was the loudest, angriest Cpl who didn’t let anyone bully his marines. Now tho? This surgery has been one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. I WILL COME BACK STRONGER! The shame of my weakness weighs so heavily on me…. But I know my 2 friends who passed away would want me to rise up from this! Reading or listening to war hammer fuels my pride as an old used up marine! And I CANT THANK YOU ENOUGH!
For the lion! For the emperor of mankind!! For humanity, semper Fi!!!
I am so sorry I did not see this brother. :( (I do not always see responses at all!)
Just remember, your power came from within. The balls, strength and attitude, the ability and willing to go against asinine orders, your courage. They had nothing to do with your fitness.
I cannot thank you enough for your service. All I can say is that many men probably owe you their lives. Let alone those you defended in your roll. Your entire community and country.
Words. They mean little, but I hope you can hear the intent behind them. You will get through this and thrive. Just try to remember that you are who you are not because of what you can lift, run, push or pull. It is the fighting spirit of the warrior that burns within you. And that cannot ever be taken away or dimmed, no matter what fortune does to your vehicle. the body.
You got this.
|Thank you for your service!
Finally, I was waiting for this episode... Probably one of the most important pieces of lore, especially for Dark Angels fan. Many thanks.
Dziękujemy.
Thank you brother, is more like it.
*bows to brother Zayl*
Blinding work fella. Perfect just after listening to the Lion/Forest on audible. Leaps and bounds above the 15 minute recaps of others.
Thank you. A lot! :)
*bows to brother Drooples*
You are a god damn god send. I have not read a 40k book in years, I get all my info from guys like you, and I really appreciate this. You did amazing work. Seriously, thank you brother.
I can't stop listening to this over and over again.. The opening dialogue alone with bors and the lion is so well voiced..
"WE WERE FALLEN! And to the unforgiven we still will be!"
You, my friend, are an incredible reader.
This is proof you could improve any of the 40k books' audiobooks tenfold!
You have my thanks and appreciation for your thorough and detailed recounting Librarian Baldermort. You have made the Emperor and the Lion proud on this day. Glory to the First Legion
I love that Lion finally has humor, and your voice does a wonderful job personifying these wonderful characters! Glad to hear you once more, o wise servo-skull
I'm a bit late to this party, I was waiting for a day when I could lie back in comfort and immerse myself, start to finish, in this utter MAGNIFICENCE. A fine tale, masterfully told. Thank you kindly, fellow baldy. Thank you kindly.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Despite having reading the Arks of Omen books already, I am truly thankful for this!
Very very very very good voice over!
Amazing Sir! Thank you!
Baldemort you absolute legend I finished lion son of the forest yesterday your timing could not have been better!!!
Just finished it today
Was a great read
Thank you so much for this amazing reading Baldermort. This is an incredible gift to give to us! I am very excited to enjoy the return of the Lion via your amazing Narration skills!
I thought to myself, the return of lion without Baldermort is just wrong.... But the return of the Lion AND return of the Bard is just perfect!
TH-cam algorithm had finally delivered…little did I know…this is what I needed.
I showed up hoping for a 2 hour deep dive, but 3 hours and 14 minutes of EPIC narration......I was not prepared
I have been waiting for this since the vashtor video. Praise be! Ave imperator.
Ohhh... so that's why no video last week; you were using the extra time to give us a *REAL* treat!
Baldermort sir, you truly are a king among men! This is great!
Man, thank you for dropping this video. I just finished " the Lion, son of the forest," and I needed more.
this is honestly the second time I have listened to this story and sir you are a professional and a godsend to those of us who can't dedicate the time for reading, or afford the material, and for that sir I salute you thank you and have a great day
I enjoyed every second of this. I get chills when Azrael gets to see The Lion for the first time.
Thank you Sir Baldermort,
This has made a good time to chill and listen.
Hopefully you are back on your feet again before long
I’m glad to see you went on to do The Lion after all. Great to hear you voice his character and bring life to the end of 9th Ed.’s narrative as only you can do.
This was the single greatest 3hrs of my life...now I know why there are so may Dark Angel players....blown away by this lore...thanx Baldermort for you excellent video!
I don't care if it's summer, i'm sitting by the fire for this one
Hands down my favourite voice to guide me through WH lore! Thank you from AB Canada! Keep being all you are - A LEGEND!
Fantastic reading. I was hooked. Will look out for more by you and listen. Thank you.
Really appreciate you and your work!
Thank you brother Xerxes. A lot.
* bows to brother Xerxes*
God I love this stuff! Please keep the full reads going, absolutely amazing work
This one was too short. I can lissen these hours and hours at one time! Thanks Bald!!🙏🇫🇮
Spectacular work!
and, a truly large undertaking that I am yet to dare try. I can only imagine the time this might take to edit and render, no matter record!
Again, truly wonderful.
I have avoided anything related to this waiting for this video. Thank you for what you do for this community.
3 1/4 hours. Mr Baldermort you glorious bastard you are spoiling us with this one. What better way to start the weekend. LET'S GO
Baldermort, your a gem my good sir. This video was a chefs kiss.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
ALL HAIL BALDEMORT, MOST FAITHFUL OF SERVANTS!!
Thank YOU brother.
*bows to brother Timelord Rick*
May you be blessed, good sir. I really wanted to know the story, but didn´t want to buy an expensive book for just one read. Your voice is really nice to listen to.
I bought this, read this and have been waiting for your entry on it. I am so pleased that it is it, in its entirety.
Wonderfully read as always.
The Lion Returns, narrated by our favoritest faithful servant, the great, yet humble Baldermort.
Thank you for your narration of this story. I've been waiting to hear how Lion El'Johnson makes his return. Kind of a bummer things had to get even worse for the galaxy, but it's a great story nonetheless.
3 hours!? By the Emperor! This is AWESOME! 😋
Oh balder! Over 3 hours! Oh how you have blessed us! Im really loving this series thank you!
Everyone thinks it but I´ll spell it out: Baldermort, you are amazing!!!
Thank you so much for your epic videos.
Dear Balders You have no idea how much I anticipated your new vid I knew it would be a masterclass
Thanks, for an excellent read as always
This is wonderful. I just finished Lion, Son of the Forest on audible and was regretful the the AoO storyline following the Dark Angels wasn't offered that way. But you have created it! I've enjoyed this very, very much. I am certain that you must've filled in many gaps in the writing with your own material. And whatever you've crafted is extremely well done, not to mention your trademark narration. Thank you for presenting this to us!
A huge thanks for this wonderful video.
Sorry! I missed this. :(
*Bows to brother Burns*
Now I have something epic to listen while I commute to work. Thank you, you are a legend beyond compare!
Thanks!
Aah yes the first time I was ever blessed with Baldemorts voice it was the fall of cadia for 4 hours straight on a Sunday afternoon this was no different I listened to every single word of this til its conclusion thank you for your service kind sir excellent job!!
This is a true gift to Warhammer fans across the board. I am an avid Audible listener and was saddened with the reality that this story probably would not be there. The quality and voice acting of this narration is just as good if not better than some of the books on Audible. Thank you, Lord Baldemort.
GW needs to hire this dude ASAP for their audio books. Thank you Baldemort!
no then he couldnt do these vids anymore .
True.
Baldermort! I caught up.... I'm blown away. This was incredible. I dont have words but truly this is incredible.
Never would've bought it myself and waiting for the Lion book will take an eternity, thank you for this, you do this Dark Angel proud.
I want to know more of the Lions story. Does Chaos make a beeline towards him also.
About to finish “son of the forest” on audible and realised there wasn’t anything else to follow onto there. Thank god you dropped this I can’t wait to listen to it at work today
Brother Baldermort:
Never, since the day Sanguinuis single-handedly held the traitors at bay at the foot of The Eternity Gate for hours on end during the Siege of Terra has so much been owed to one individual.
This was glorious to listen to! Thank you for your effort. Hope you're doing better now in regards to all your issues. Take care of yourself!
May the EMPEROR watch over you Mr.Baldermort.. and may he heal yr back pain.. THANK YOU for this Audio book.
LETS GOOO. Your read throughs are my favorite!
Brother Baldermort or should I say Chaplain Bald... I can't get over those shorts you did with Brother Barry. They are hilarious. Anyway, while I prefer your fanfiction. I really enjoyed this one as well. Hope you get better soon. If we need to start a "Baldermort's servo skull wheelchair procurement go fund me," page. Just let me know. Im sure the subs and I would be able to get you nothing less than the Emperor's finest.
