[@kostakatsoulis2922]

Well thats gotta be fuckin awful especially for a Chaos knight, constantly having your loyalist ancestors calling out to you to return even while your more recent predecessors are calling for blood, it's more than having your mind split 10 different ways, its like having half those ways use your mind as a literal battleground to fight the other half!

All those voices, traitor knights are truly insaine

[@Turnil321]

I wonder who is the most insane traitor. I once heard a story about a chaos dreadnought which was even more insane.

[@Selousscout]

Regular knights have the ghosts too but they’re more like advisors and wise grandfathers

[@PuddingXXL]

​@@Turnil321yeah I know what you mean. If I understood it right he went insane because he was not put to sleep like the usual dreadnoughts meaning he was alone in a sarcophagus for literal thousands of years. No wonder they went insane 😅

[@patrickcurrie7440]

​@Turnil321 Chaos Hellbrutes are basically corrupted dreadnought. They are purposely kept awake in their captivity, until being released usually by drop pod right in the middle of the enemy.

[@TheColosiss]

The part that hits hardest is realizing that every pilot, every princep, every servitor is bombarded with the remnants of every predecessor. The strength of spirit and mind must be stronger with every passing. This feeling is especially powerful with those that have merged with the machine spirit. I cannot imagine being paired with not only an AI, but every great soul before me. That level of strength and fortitude is beyond words...

[@obrasilius6733]

It's easy to forget that while the knight is piloted by a single person, there are much more than one person inside it. This is how you remind the reader, you show the voices. I rewatched the video again with headphones, and I can feel the voices *INSIDE MY HEAD*, that is how profound Paul and the other voice actors managed to capture the conflict voices. I once felt how it is to have a voice in your mind, telling you think that you don't want to hear, thank god it is way behind me, but I can understand very well how is the sensation of having something stuck on your mind, I can emphasize

Finally one of my favorite chaos sub factions getting the attection that it deserve. I also love how well you depicted the torment that the ghost of the throne submit to their pilot. I doubt that any mind could hold a whole bombardement of screams of shame,hate and madness all at the same time

[@AVoxintheVoid]

Glad I could help shine some light on them oily boys!

Incredible. What a savage life chaos knights lead - fighting their mount, their past lives, their enemies, their friends.

[@gunthergiel7088]

Great story great performance thank you very much 👍👏👍

[@inquisitorgarza312]

Those Imperial Knights who forsake their vows to the Imperium and the Emperor believe that they will become masters of their own fates, but little do they realize that they the Dark Gods of Chaos will never waste an opportunity to possess a powerful war machine as their steeds without Daemons influence. Once a Daemon takes control of a Knight Machine Spirit there will be a eternity of suffering and pain for the pilot and their ancestors who once wielded this powerful weapon, and just amusing laughter by the Ruinous Powers.

[@Broken_valley]

God damn some absolutely stellar work your voice and the audio really paint a scene I love the war inside the mind and without. The burning of promethium and binding of the mind truly another amazing work! I always look forward to your narrations and story’s you create on this channel! Truly doing the corpse emperors work with your own voice(hands?)

[@mattbaxter688]

Great work as always vox, shout out to including the sharks in this piece, they don't get enough love. Loved the characterization of the knight itself, from being a mad beast being held back from a rampage to being a whimpering pup with its tail between its legs.
