- Today we Elucidate the deeds of the repentant Word Bearers Dreadnought: Anchorite.
Present during the Great Crusade and committing atrocities alongside his brethren of the 17th during the Istvaan 5 Dropsite Massacre and Calth Betrayal, the Anchorite sought penance once disillusioned of his actions.
Making copies of the Lectitio Divinitatus first penned by his Primarch Lorgar Aurelian, the Anchorite prayer to the God Emperor of Mankind for forgiveness for over ten millennia until his kinsmen sought to reclaim him...

Man that artwork looks very custom wonder who made it 🤔
Doing the emperors work 🙏🏼
A blessed artificer probably
You will never know.
But?? Not only all that, but... But what else?
Angry old man screaming "Get off my lawn you damn traitors!"
@AzelasFromHyrule The Anchorite was only portraying the old Terran entertainer named Clint Eastwood, from his well-known work known as 'Grand Torino'.

This... This is an incomplete statement???
Anchorite and Ancient Rylanor needed Dreadnought chassis to contain their epicness.
With Huron Fal and Bjorn
When a contemptor dreadnought calls you "boy" you know its time to shut up and listen :)
"Lorgar. Salvation and Damnation in one. Poor, foolish Lorgar."
That phrase was unexpectedly painful.
He loved his father but he couldn’t see the truth he learned.
@@randomcenturion7264 A son whose greatest sin was that he loved his father too much. That's one of the most tragic things I've ever heard.
Same goes with Magnus but that one is more so pride and hubris tbf
@@GreasusGoldtoothThat’s exactly Lorgar’s problem. I relate because I myself had a father that I could never please.
@@JamesTAdams Same. I will never be the son my father wanted.
The best word bearer to ever word.
I wish he and Barthusa Narek could meet and do to Lorgar what Rylanor did to Fulgrim.
He worded the bear like no other
Argal tal is up there with him in my book
The Anchorite referring to himself as a ‘Bearer of Words’ is something quite poetic
I unironically loved the part where the Anchorite bore the word and the daemons got slapped
The Emporor protects.
Oh, and he gaslights us but its the good kind like a psycholgist.
The true bearer of words.
"The God-Emperor, boy. It's in the title."
This is like grandpa getting upset with dumb questions. 🤣
The only Word Bearer to actually spit bars and facts.
The Anchorite is a very part to the foundation of the Imperium survival and without this noble and loyal son of Lorgar, and maybe even the ascension of the Emperor wouldn’t be possible.
I think even the Emperor in the end understood the word of the old priest, Uriah. Because during the fight against Horus, he first experienced the power of faith, how his strength was bolstered and Terra itself was being pulled from the grip of the warp by the prayers of mortals
I can't get over the Anchorite calling the son's of dorn thick!!! Hahahaha
🤣
I mean... Truth hurts.
Ooof that hurts.
Is a reinforced codpiece or are you just happy to see me?
Even a traitor can find redemption if he truly seeks to repent
Fun fact the battle of Calth is still going on as the Ultramarines won’t end the timer till all Word Bearers are dead including Lorgar which will be a difficult task 10-11K+ years ongoing
PRIASE THE EMPEROR AND HIS FAITHFUL SERVANT THE LAST TRUE BEARER OF THE WORD
WORD!
Dreadnoughts turning tonfight their traitor brothers will always be badass like when your big brothers catches you lacking so hehs to straighten you himself
We should all follow in the footsteps of Corvus Corax as no matter how hard life gets, never stop harassing Lorgar.
Do yourself a favour, forget Lorgar for now, go after Erebus and Kor Pharon first as Lorgar is their victim and the tool of the Empyrean chaos powers to control Lorgar.
I love how he just calls them boy lol
This is probably the first bit of 40k lore that really struck me, whoever wrote this somehow captured true faith and that only comes from much pain.
I never thought I'd say this, but, I stan for the man in the can.
The Anchorite, Argal Tal, and that one word bearer who was particularly close to the Raven Guard (even during the heresy) were/are the only good Word Bearers. Even Argal was a great guy, his only flaw was being too loyal to Lorgar
I mean Argel Tal was a cool character, but he definitely wasn’t a “good guy”. Hard claim to make for a demon possessed astartes lol.
@@billdavis7577 lol fair. Argal was good deep down. He was well liked by just about everyone and he even formed a genuine bond with a group of Custodes. The main issue with him (other than being possessed by Ra’Am) was that he was undyingly loyal to Lorgar and when he was forced to choose between the imperium and his gene family he chose his family. He absolutely chose wrong, but it was his choice to make. Also I forgot poor Iarto Khoura was killed by Corvus Corax in a fit of rage (I will defend his innocence until GW confirms treachery)
@@jhetttiernan2623 Again he was a great character and unusually nuanced for a chaos space marine. Not like Kor’pharon or Erebus who were one dimensional bad guys who just wanted to burn everything down. Despite all that Argel Tal still walked the path of damnation, an having pangs of remorse and doubt doesn’t change that.
@@billdavis7577 I agree with you.
@@billdavis7577 I'd like to think that were Argel not the person being possessed but instead witnessed what possession was from a third person perspective, he would never have agreed to it. He was too reasonable as well as too superstitious otherwise.
But that's why we like him. He's reasonable, likeable, and understandable. That's why his fall and demise are so terribly evil.
Anchorite seems like a pretty dope dude. Goes to show Contemptors are the best.
Such is the power of faith in 40k
“A devout man understands the possibility of damnation, but does not think that he himself will be damned. In those days I heard my brothers boast of knives and alters, and even then I knew that not one of them would go willingly to the stone. For such men, there is always another sacrifice. Always someone weaker.”
That final passage was simply wonderful. Thank you for another great video.
He was a Bearer of the Word, but the battle against his wayward brothers showed that he is something greater. He is now the Bearer of the Light, HIS light, as no mere man of faith can simply banish the tides of the neverborn with but a simple word
Bro said "I CAST HOLY LIGHT"
Can’t get more badass then one who saw his own folly and tried to off himself but failed and decided to go against his father Lorgar as a dragon once said “is it better to be born good or to change from ones evil nature to a path of good” only being convinced to fight after Aemond would risk his life for him rather then let him die and he beats back the Deamons and Chaos traitors and goes back to his room
I grabbed the book that the Achorite was in entirely by accident as one of the first novels I read following 8th Ed's roll out. I didn't realize just how important he was back then
Which book is this?
@@gregdaweson4657 Apocalypse
Remember when the Anchorite said ‘it’s word bearin time!’ And bore the word everywhere? That was my favorite part.
It's so badsed, yet crazy how the Anchorite directly quouted his most heinous and disgusted Gene-Father to explain what he is to a son of Dorn to insure that he IS the loyal son of the Emperor... I wonder how this transaction would have turned out if it was with a son of Ultrama.....
What the anchorite says in the begining is a truth we humans should abide. An eye for an eye, will eventually leave a blind world...well, galaxy in this case 🙏🙏😔
The Anchorite is basically the Dreadnought version of John The Baptist. That is so cool. May there be more loyal sons of the Word Bearers. I would like to hear there stories.
Out of all of the known dreadnoughts the Anchorite is one of my favorites.
Amazing how coherent the Anchorite is after all these years. Dreadnoughts tend to lose their lucidity as the milenna wears on, but he is still going strong enough to engage in complex theological discussions. Thanks for the video.
His faith in the One True God Emperor kept him sane
That's contemptor pattern for you. Even Rylanor who was kept in the worst condition imaginable was still mentally stable after 10k years, and the Anchorite has the Ecclesiarchy to take care of him
I'm actually relistening to this story during my drive to work. Couldn't tell you how many times I've listened to it but it never gets old
A fascinating character and paragon of his faith - one who practices the most extreme possible asceticism. A brilliant tale of true sainthood. ❤
Thanks for doing This! The Anchorite made me buy my first Two 40k books….. only because the book he’s in, “Apocalypse,” didn’t differentiate the Spanish version from the English! But what disappointed me was the the Anchorites’ story was almost word for word that if the one on 2d4chan, but Rreading him BANISH demons on his own, with a gold light, makes you wonder what the imeperial cult and its most ferevent followers is capable of. To think that HE was the one who re-wrote and censored Lirgsrs book, which he still writes to this day. Thanks again! Keep up the great work!
We can infer a little about him from his circumstances. He was clearly loyal enough to the WB dark path to escape the purging by the Dark Council prior to the heresy and fanatical enough to be included in the roster of Calth. This guy wasn’t just a rank and file WB going along with the flow, he was a true believer who even Lorgar thought was too dangerous.
Someone needs to write a short story of the Anchorite meeting Bjorn the Fel Handed
The thumbnail is hilarious, like "So you wanna hear about the God-Emporer???"
An Amazing character but your narration, acting and musical choice elevated this video even more. EPIC. Fantastic. 👏👏👏
Lmaoo, these WB frauds thought they were ready for him (they weren't ready)
This was badass. I HOPE we get more stories with him or like this. Nearly all my favourite legions are traitors so would like some loyal versions in the modern setting.
So good
That's the best opening dialogue Ive heard on here
I hope a GW author writes about a meeting between The Anchorite and Guilliman
Loyalist weird bearers are always my favorite
That final line was enough to send shivers through me, I dearly hope that somehow the Bearers of the Word had more then a handful of their number to either remain true or come back to the Emperor's light. In their faith lies hope for Mankind to fight back the darkness and reclaim what was lost
We are not many who have realized and recanted our fall to Empyrean deception, but we do exist. Though we do not expect any recognition for our new path of pennance, and even less any forgiveness for our heretical crimes. No, the only atonement and redemption we can strive for is from the God Emperor himself if he deems our souls worthy to be claimed by Him once we die in His service.
Rylanor was more badass but the Anchorite had a bigger and more helpful impact probably having the Imperium give more power to Big E through faith and a symbol to fight for repented and was sad enough to try to attempt Suicide and he’s as old as Bjorn instead of feeling like Bjorn a grandpa he feels like a Ex convict who found religion/Jesus or does motivational speeches and can change ones mindset or mood but also is humble enough to not state his name or have a Ego
That is really cool I love Warhammer lore it's always so epic and just full of I don't know awesomeness.
⚪🤍
If Rogal Dorn is the Latin Catholic then Lorgar Aurelian is the Greek Orthodox.
And that's why the name of his Legion, the Word Bringers (Word Bearers + Truth Bringers).
(Byzantine Crusader type)
Ascalon Troyes, Primarch of the Black Templars.
Here is the right loyalist version of Lorgar Aurelian, Primarch of the Word Bringers!
quite the opposite
Just as an example.
No matter what legion, Dradnaughts are always based
Lorgar failed the test of faith. Too hungry for knowledge, too hungry to search for the truth..it led him to damnation.
Lorgar was deliberately misled and decived by Erebus, after beeing primed in his youth by Kor Phaeron and then kept ignorant and vulnerable by his True gene father.
Lorgar's failiure was only made possible through the neglect of the, then nacent, God Emperor.
Man, that was a great experience! Loved the audiobook, one of my favorite books on audible. I only hope the guys at Black Libary plan to continue the plot line. Fingers crossed 🤞
Lorgar still has a pretty awesome armour set in my opinion. Would be cool to see this moment of the Anchorite animated, contempor dreadnought armour class is pretty awesome too.
It will look a lot more awesome...after Corvus Corax has his way with him.
@@Azubrael haha
Him and Narek ( hopefully still alive in the next sage )are the last word bearers to believe in his holyness
Now we need a 30k/40k Anchorite model!!!
Man I wish we could get more of him, he was awesome. At least we got something on Suboden Khan on White Scars codex for what I heard. Another plot point for GW's archives.
Excellent content for the anathema!
Another fantastic lore video 👌🏻
This was a good video
The sad thing is we probably won’t ever see this character again because the writer for Apocalypse left black library on bad terms. :(
Now this is one Jehovah's witness. You do not shut the door on.
Thanks!
Thank you for your support!
The last true Word Bearer
Indeed! All praise the God Emperor Ascendant and his True Apostles!
Do black lion lore aka deathwatch!!😂
My question is was the emperor testing them or did he think it was just a test and the Emperor was actually just punishing them? because at this point I don’t know what the emperor wants. at first It seemed like he wanted to truly atheistic logic base society, but the same time he dressed up in a massive gold suit of armor with a flaming sword, and a literal halo of light around himself, and somehow expected Not to be worshiped.
Does anyone know what the name of the piece of music at the start is?
One of the loyalist word bearers ❤
He, along with Rylanor and The Fel Handed are amongst the best dreadnaughts. The Anchorite is one such peculiar dreadnaught though, because supposedly they go crazy after a millenia or two, but the anchorite was interred for 10 millenia 😅 idk if it is because he is already broken to begin with, or his faith is that strong it is already madness 😂
How will the Anchorite react to Bobby G and Grandpa Lion?
Likely with deference, and as long estranged uncles.
There might be a bit of a heated theological discussion over Monarchia as well as the Anchorite's post heresy activities, however, the Ecclesiarchy was established with the Sigillites blessing in his official capacity as regent of Terra and segmentum Solar, owing fealty to none other than the Imperial Throne itself.
The Anchorite was confused since it was revealed that it was under Gulliman's direct order that reinforcement was sent to save him. He'll never understand why would Gulliman spent his resources saving him even 10000 years later.
Strong Chad vibes!
Anchorite!
Based
Enuncia? But what word would be so powerful to be anathema to Chaos?
creating primaris space Marines from lorgars blood line is more vital now then ever what better way to combat chaos then entire chapter's of god emperor loving Zealot's 😊
Rebrand them to Bearer of Light so they dont get shot on sight by the imperials, and if their faith is anywhere as good as the Anchorite, we can see them dropping Holy Light on the field with prayers along with the Sororitas
@@thecommentguy9380 the anchorite should choose a new name and lead the bearers of the light on a holy crusade
@@warwolf88 Black Templar seeing a new religious chapter: nice
Sororitas seeing a new religious chapter that's founded by the original founder of their faith: double nice
@@thecommentguy9380 I know right
Is he a surviving member of 2nd and eleven legion?
I stand corrected, my apologies
The last word bearer the most true of the cholcisian word bearers for he was no iconoclast and no terran but he was a bearer of the emperors words and the smallest flame to what the word bearers could have been if it was not for FUCKING EREBUS
Mf actually out there in the 41st millenia with levels in cleric.
❤
Goood
I’m an anchorite 🙏🫡
Eyy do you reckon he was using Enuncia?
Never occurred to me that the Emperor's true name (which is the word that their legion bore) could be enuncia. 😮
🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡
one second it says "it´s hull marked with sigils of purity and prayer scrolls"the next"the machine bore no heraldry and no colours.it was grey and bare of all ornamentation"Hä?
First time I’ve heard of this fine fellow. Awesome tale
Blessed son of cholchis sounds better jus saying, nothing wrong with the existing title.
The best boi
