Another glorious day in the Guard. A day in the Imperial Guard’s like a day on the farm. Every meal, a feast. Every paycheck, a fortune. Every formation, a parade. Emperor, I love the Guard!
I was there in that wretched planet when the Prophet of the Waargh arrived and destroyed that Hive City, and instead of fear and despair that would been felt anyone else, anger and hate what fuel these brave men and women of the Steel Legion. Their courage and bravery is an example to us all within the Imperium.
The Armageddon Steel Legion is one of my favourite Guard regiments and one of the most overlooked in my experience. I'd kill for them to get some new mini's like the Krieg did in Kill-Team: Octarius. Imagine Steel Legion vs Orks in Kill-Team!
Mine too, It’s a shame they get overshadowed by Krieg. I was going to start an army, don’t mind metal. But they took them down and I’m not paying the prices they now go for on eBay
Ya know, I always thought that the idea of recruiting gang members was stupid until I joined a Marine infantry unit during a troop surge when they had relaxed recruiting standards. I was surprised to find that a few of my squad mates had been in gunfights prior to ever joining. I'm still alive thanks to one of them, so I mean... it works.
Most of my intake in army basic circa 2004 were practically feral inner city lads. They smartened up over time, obviously, but the first couple of weeks were pretty savage as the more aggressive ones went at each other from time to time.
My favourite army/force in 40K. Almost no other planet in the Imperium could do what they have done. Besides, how fuckin cool is the name “Armageddon Steel Legion” !
@@Sweetness71775 Same, DK just seem robotic and bereft of personality and while Catachan are fun as hell, they're too superhuman to be relatable. Steel Legion just strike that sweet spot imo.
@@Jay-zk7uw Absolutely. All 3 have their place in lore and as cool Astra Militarum regiments. However, I just love how the Steel Legion is the most "human", especially as they're portrayed in Helsreach.
@@Sweetness71775 That's why it boils my piss when people group them together with DK, as if their characters are defined by gas masks and long coats. They couldn't be more different personality-wise. I only hope that some day, Yarrick will return and so will the Legion.
@@Jay-zk7uw Yup. I agree. The unfortunate thing about the Steel Legion is that it's almost exclusively deployed to Armageddon given how that planet is constantly at war with Orks and Chaos lol.
"It could always be worse right"? That's the kiss of death for any Brooklynite, because it always gets infact worse ...... I guess the same can be said for humans in the 40k. How ironic 😔
It’s a toss up between the Armageddon Steel Legion and the Elysian Drop Troops for my favorite guard forces but I am at least I have something to watch well I start my weekend
@@Baldermort Hey Baldermort, I was wondering if I could tempt you into covering the Months of Shame in depth in a future video? Your style would do that story justice I think 👍
I love commisar Yarrick, a true legend... it’s crazy how he’s the bane of all Orkz for being “A little Ummie” Also im glad you enjoyed my world eaters joke on skared cast lord B it truly was a magnificent day
We don't really consider him a bane. If anything we love Yarric! Why do you think Thraka let him live, you don't destroy your favorite toy and wherever Yarric goes good fightin' follows! I think he's the only 'umie orks might follow into battle! I can see his motivational speech now 'Orks, I hate each and every one of you but today you're fighting for me. This will be the biggest battle of your lives and i fully expect each and every one of you will die fighting and i will rejoice as each and every one of you dies! Anyone who even thinks about running I'll krump myself! Now charge forward to certain death!' WAAAGH!!! YARRICK! LETS KILL ALL DEM SPIKY BOYS!
As a Krieg enjoyer I can only hope the Steel Legion makes a comeback in the lore sometime soon, I can’t be the only Gas Mask clad man from a wartorn planet devoted entirely to fighting X foe.
"Look how little hiring all these troops impacted our coffers! One could say they were a.... steel" -last words before the commisar pulled his Las pistol out
DKOK: Stay in a trench and lob artillery till they’re softened up and then charge in, repeat as needed Armageddon Steel Legion: Hive Gangers trained as mechanised infantry and given loads of Chimeras to charge right into enemy lines with
Big B once again makes an absolute killing on lore. Seriously. Audible or Black Library or hell! Some game company! Should hire you as a voice actor / narrator. You'd be *perfect* for the job.
I thought I was tripping when I saw your "faithful servant" servo skull turn and float away! I had to rewind and watch it again to make sure I wasn't losing it! Nice touch
Phenomenal video (as usual) Baldermort! I know this might already be "on your list" but I really think that one Warhammer 40k character needs your skills as a storyteller more than any other. Abaddon the Despoiler is the single most memed and misunderstood person in Warhammer. His canon lore (the text in black and white) is great, his achievements monumental, his personality interesting and his struggles engrossing. BUT non of that is nearly ever recognised or accepted by a willfully misinformed fanbase. You could be the TH-cam to finally begin to kill this lie of a meme-narrative. If it would be of any help, I do poses his first Codex lore from 2nd Edition 1996.
3rd War for Helsreach is what got me into Warhammer!! It’s how I was 1st introduced to 40k and was instantly hooked, I thought I knew what the word epic meant. Until I found out about this lore. Super Epic
Thank you Baldermort. There is nothing quite like a riveting plot to open the door to our imaginations. A small respite from a long day, a daydream to soak into. You sir are a spinner fates, a weaver of campaigns and like a pin drop within an echoed chamber gilded in marble. The colosseum of fates is a welcome treat for the masses. Bravo!!👏
Hey Baldermort- I don't play the tabletop but I got hooked to the Horus Heresy book series about a decade ago and have been enjoying all things WH40k lore since. Your narrations are fantastic, and I absolutely love the short story introductions you have on a lot of your vids. They're incredibly immersive and always well read. Props, chap! Keep up the Emperor's work!
I dont usually get the time to sit and listen to these like I used to, what with work taking up a much heavier portion of my time these days. But I just want you to know, Uncle Baldy, that I finally got time to read some of my Space Wolves omnibus tonight and the narration I heard as I read was your voice. Thank you for all the work you put in and the astounding quality of the videos you produce. I'm going to be making more time to get caught up, but know that you've been a major impact on my appreciation of the Hobby and I'm forever grateful.
you're the first channel to have a noble knight affiliate link! Every other channel uses amazon but noble knight is the treasure trove of hobby and gaming in the USA.
So glad they’re ok. I didn’t want to do amazon. They get enough. Glad it’s a good choice. The USA subs should definitely be gaining discounts and supporting home grown companies. Or they’ll disappear!!
Honestly The Armageddon Steel Legion and Death Korps Of Krieg would be one of the most deadliest and efficient forces the Imperium has at it's command if they ever team-up IMO (like a pact, not a one off...though it would still be cool) the combination of their warfare doctrines and culture would be the scourge of the xenos, heretics, mutants, traitors and most especially our wallets! Seriously though: My biggest hope for The Lion's return (regardless if it's 10th or not) is to kick up the Imperium's might so that not only will there be a reason to have Ghazgull, Traitor Primarchs and the like start pulling out wins as they appear but it might also encourage mixing armies more because I love synergy in games.
As someone who was always more interested in 30k than 40k, when you finally revealed Armageddon’s identity I actually felt a wave across my body. Always have I heard of Armageddon, Yorrick, and the Steel Legion. Never have I looked into the world enough to put the two and two together. Fantastic video and literal jaw-dropping reveal!
If there was any place that Vulkan could return from to once again fight for the Imperium, it would Armageddon. Honestly, he's probably hiding a really dark corner, just to make a dramatic entrance for whatever gitz stumble across him.
Don't really know anything about the lore but I used to collect this army back in the day. Always thought Imperial Guard was the coolest and these guys stood out to me.
Ok…so let me get this straight. It’s Friday, I just found a jar of hitherto untouched Nutella in my cupboard I had forgotten about, I closed two deals, I was informed my Chaos Knights are on the way AND a Baldermort video? I thought Friday the 13th was supposed to suck.
Id love to hear more guard stories. Like the baneade saga, the orgyns, catachan, or tallarn. Tallarn seems like a hugely underrated regiment you could flesh out.
I know you probably have other projects in the works, but a guard regiment that really needs some love and from what I know hasn't been covered much in lore and def not on tabletop, but have easily the coolest aesthetic design of any guard faction (gain my opinion). And that is the maccabian jannissaries. I would LOVE to see you talk about them and give them a bit more fluff with your epic baldemort flaire. I'd even be willing to create some art assets for it (I am a freelance illustrator) given free time. Ive been working on 3d printing and making a maccabian jannissary army with whatever i can find and would live to see my favorite regiment for aesthetics get more fluff to them :)
I pray The Inquisition believes your disclaimer. Speaking of, I would love an in depth look into the Months of Shame from our Good Storyteller's perspective.
Well it’s a rare treat for me thank you for doing these and I must say I’ve heard a few narration voices over the years but your is definitely the best for this. Keep up the amazing work
@@Baldermort as a fan of both your amazing narrations and Dan Carlin's Hardcore History I am more than happy to wait for a superior product, especially when the standard is always exceptional. Your effort shows in every outing and your example brings out the best in others like the Amber King to name just one. I anxiously await the continuation of White Tiger and Red Eagle, but I know when it comes the smile on my face will be as joyous as the most mirthful harlequin's mask. You go at your own pace, the quality is proven time and again. oh and don't work TOO hard, do try and make some time for fun ^_^
I was listening to Peter Gabriel "Games Without Frontiers " earlier today and JUST REALIZED HOW IT IS SUCH A GOOD THEME SONG FOR ARMAGEDDON LOL!! "Vulkan Builds a Bonfire, and His sons play with it!
They should have let Ghazgull conquer this place when they moved the plot onwards. Abaddon got his victory, Ghazgull should have got his, to increase his reputation.
i too want to hear more of armageddon and i hope that gw both bring about a campaign book for the war on the world along with regiment kits for the steel legion on par with what krieg are being rumored to get
I WILL ADMIT, that i thought the steel legion was just a discount Death korps, they are not. they are IN FACT one of the most bad ass militarum regiments.
I finally have a guard faction I can love Dear Bald one you never disappoint This man has single handedly liked and responded to I saw EVERY comment I have ever made It is a true sense of involvement and care for us fickle listeners(no disrespect of course fellow ear mates) Just want the man to see we appreciate him and his surely ever exhausting work You are the realest and if you insist on the servo skull image then you are that of the emperor himself😅😅 You are appreciated brother in hobby👉👉👉

So glad they’re ok. I didn’t want to do amazon. They get enough. Glad it’s a good choice. The USA subs should definitely be gaining discounts and supporting home grown companies. Or they’ll disappear!!
Much content to catch up and one of my favorites to start with it. Thanks for keeping up the awesome work!
The first 7 minutes of intro can be summed up as,
"BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!"
A bit. :)
Honestly The Armageddon Steel Legion and Death Korps Of Krieg would be one of the most deadliest and efficient forces the Imperium has at it's command if they ever team-up IMO (like a pact, not a one off...though it would still be cool) the combination of their warfare doctrines and culture would be the scourge of the xenos, heretics, mutants, traitors and most especially our wallets!
Seriously though: My biggest hope for The Lion's return (regardless if it's 10th or not) is to kick up the Imperium's might so that not only will there be a reason to have Ghazgull, Traitor Primarchs and the like start pulling out wins as they appear but it might also encourage mixing armies more because I love synergy in games.
Friday is an awesome day. It is Baldermort day 😉👍. Going to lean back and enjoy the Narration, thank you for all your hard work 🙏.

I love your approach and style with the lore breakdown - I can not only visualize the events, but also feel them 😸 thank you!!
The music with your narrative gave me chills. 👏!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I've listened to so many hours of your content i am truly grateful. This performance is a masterpiece of your already marvelous work.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
As someone who was always more interested in 30k than 40k, when you finally revealed Armageddon’s identity I actually felt a wave across my body. Always have I heard of Armageddon, Yorrick, and the Steel Legion. Never have I looked into the world enough to put the two and two together. Fantastic video and literal jaw-dropping reveal!
It always bring a smile to my fugly face when you, sir, goes from your storytelling voice to your jovial ending voice. Well done, as always
I've been living in a foreign country for a few years now. You videos help me feel connected to home.
I fell in love with this guys after playing the Armageddon game.
Damnit man! Was the Anime steel legion at the end necessary! Haha Gave me a good laugh.
😂🤣🤣🤣
Best part of friday !
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Sir, you are a gift to story telling.
If there was any place that Vulkan could return from to once again fight for the Imperium, it would Armageddon.
Honestly, he's probably hiding a really dark corner, just to make a dramatic entrance for whatever gitz stumble across him.
Hey bald! Great to see you made a vid on my favourite regiment, time to relax and tense up to your voice once more!
aaaaah baldy, you just made my day dear friend. I thank you for such awesome content !!!
Awesome video Baldermort ^^ Keep it up matey
Thank you , BM .
Well done on the Fallout London Intro, you are the next Ron Pearlman!!
Steel Legion is best Legion.
Cries in Alpha Legion
Alpharius disagrees
new Baldermort upload, that’s my evening sorted now
4:01 this sent a shiver down my spine
Don't really know anything about the lore but I used to collect this army back in the day. Always thought Imperial Guard was the coolest and these guys stood out to me.
Man, this is 40k gold. Excellent work baldy
Beautiful, fantastic and absolute joy to listen too. 💯⭐🔥
Awesome as you always are, thanks for this one.
All the best to you and keep up the great work.
Yes! Such a wonderful video! Fantastic job!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I appreciate you Baldermot, I asked and you delivered. THANK YOU
thank you for the story ! have a nice weekend !
You too brotherJames. ThNk you. ;).
Long have I awaited this day
Love your voice. Definitely going to be watching you here on TH-cam and StoryFire.
Wooooooah, a 3D animated Baldemort! Congrats 🎉
We like to refer to ourselves as the Ulanor Ulans, Sir.
Just to spite the inquisition.
This guy ladies and gentlemen...
This baldemorte guy...
amazing baldy. much love
The Steel Legion is my personal favorite Imperial Guard regiment.
“… supplicants, eh…”
Recall using that word to refer to those who wanted to become *witches* in Slow Gin…
Ok…so let me get this straight. It’s Friday, I just found a jar of hitherto untouched Nutella in my cupboard I had forgotten about, I closed two deals, I was informed my Chaos Knights are on the way AND a Baldermort video? I thought Friday the 13th was supposed to suck.
Thanks for covering one of my favorite IG regiments, Balderboss.
Steel Legion deserve the hard on that the Krieg get from the fan base.
Id love to hear more guard stories. Like the baneade saga, the orgyns, catachan, or tallarn. Tallarn seems like a hugely underrated regiment you could flesh out.
Knowing I'll be graced by another fantastic video from the master of lore himself always makes it exciting to check my subscriptions tab!
Another interesting and informative post.. l am crafting some terrain and l love listening to your posts while working on this.
I know you probably have other projects in the works, but a guard regiment that really needs some love and from what I know hasn't been covered much in lore and def not on tabletop, but have easily the coolest aesthetic design of any guard faction (gain my opinion). And that is the maccabian jannissaries. I would LOVE to see you talk about them and give them a bit more fluff with your epic baldemort flaire. I'd even be willing to create some art assets for it (I am a freelance illustrator) given free time.
Ive been working on 3d printing and making a maccabian jannissary army with whatever i can find and would live to see my favorite regiment for aesthetics get more fluff to them :)
Sure. Email me. Address is on the main channel page under information. Last tab.
I pray The Inquisition believes your disclaimer. Speaking of, I would love an in depth look into the Months of Shame from our Good Storyteller's perspective.
May I ask how long dose it take you to do theses videos?
Longer than you’d think. :(. It’s why I can’t do too many.
Well it’s a rare treat for me thank you for doing these and I must say I’ve heard a few narration voices over the years but your is definitely the best for this. Keep up the amazing work
@@Baldermort as a fan of both your amazing narrations and Dan Carlin's Hardcore History I am more than happy to wait for a superior product, especially when the standard is always exceptional. Your effort shows in every outing and your example brings out the best in others like the Amber King to name just one. I anxiously await the continuation of White Tiger and Red Eagle, but I know when it comes the smile on my face will be as joyous as the most mirthful harlequin's mask. You go at your own pace, the quality is proven time and again. oh and don't work TOO hard, do try and make some time for fun ^_^
My god man that was amazin this is why i will be a subscriber for life long live the legion and the people of Armageddon
I was listening to Peter Gabriel "Games Without Frontiers " earlier today and JUST REALIZED HOW IT IS SUCH A GOOD THEME SONG FOR ARMAGEDDON LOL!!
"Vulkan Builds a Bonfire, and His sons play with it!
They should have let Ghazgull conquer this place when they moved the plot onwards. Abaddon got his victory, Ghazgull should have got his, to increase his reputation.
Nods in agreement. Hopefully in 10th? (Sighs )
He will get his big victory soon. Orks is never beatin
Ghazgull will claim Octarius… preferably to the Nids.
Have Ghazgull and commissar Yarrick and the Black Templars have the war to end all wars on Armageddon.
The intro and story alone were worth a re-watch
Brother Balders coming in clutch right before work! We don't deserve such a loyal servant, and that's just a fact.
i too want to hear more of armageddon and i hope that gw both bring about a campaign book for the war on the world along with regiment kits for the steel legion on par with what krieg are being rumored to get
I WILL ADMIT, that i thought the steel legion was just a discount Death korps, they are not. they are IN FACT one of the most bad ass militarum regiments.
Thank you old boy. Your videos are the best.
I finally have a guard faction I can love
Dear Bald one you never disappoint
This man has single handedly liked and responded to I saw EVERY comment I have ever made
It is a true sense of involvement and care for us fickle listeners(no disrespect of course fellow ear mates)
Just want the man to see we appreciate him and his surely ever exhausting work
You are the realest and if you insist on the servo skull image then you are that of the emperor himself😅😅
You are appreciated brother in hobby👉👉👉
Well played Baldy, well played😜
Yet another delectable dish from the word chef himself. Thanks Baldy!!!!
Thank you for this warhammer, this your weekly Warhammer tribute.
I swear, I keep coming back to this video just for the first seven minutes lol
God, I’m glad I got a bunch of these guys when I could.
Vulcan is just taking a big nap before he returns to give the galaxy a big giant warmfriendly big friend hug
Amazing as always :)0
Perfect timing on the avatar departure 👍
One of the greatest Heroes of the Astra Militarum they've seen Green hell and they lived to tell the tale and gave even Krieg a run for their money
Sorry it took so long to get to this video but man, it was worth it. Steel Legion for the win baby!
