Oh. My. Emperor. I've had to pause this after the intro story just to say that it by itself would be worth the upload. I've always loved the Sororitas, but I've never seen or heard a story that showed just how truly awesome (in the truest sense of the word) it would be to see them come to the aid of the rank & file. Baldemort, I can genuinely say that you have created something beautiful on your channel and have quickly become my favourite 40k channel (and easily walked into my top 5 of all channels 😜). Thank you.

[@Baldermort]

Ethan Kristopher-Hartley that is astonishingly kind of you, brother. Astonishingly. I’m just trying to get people into the setting. It can be a bit dry from some, so I just thought I’d drag people into the Grimdark a little easier. I couldn’t try to do an intro as a woman, it would be too much. So I thought I’d show how these epic heroes are to a normal trooper. Glad it didn’t backfire on me. Your very gracious encouragement is very appreciated indeed. All I can say is that I am taking steers from my brothers. It’s a collected effort really. Not just mine. I honestly believe everyone is with me when ‘we’ write. Intimidating, but it is giving me the courage to try things a bit more than I usually would. So, thank you. But thank yourself and the other brothers. It’s a team effort. :).

[@THEGRUMPTRUCK]

@Lord Admiral Spire Most people only really know the zealotry from Soulstorm, which is highly unlike how the sisters act at all in lore. They may be a middle ground between Astartes and Guard, but they inspire hope, faith, heal the sick and dying, and bring unshakeable morale to their allies. They are warriors of conviction and heroes in the darkest corners of the galaxy. That is the true Sisters. They can be easily as merciless to their enemies as any astartes, but they can be as kind and warm to their imperial allies as though they are the closest siblings.

Considering I asked Jason months ago..you coming in here saying 'check your codex' is about as helpful as air holes in a boat. But dont worry I will do your job for you. In the current sisters of battle codex pgs 11 and 12 cover the 6 main sisters that go before the emperor. 1. No mention is mad of what happened in there. 2. No color swaps mentioned after. 3. Why would it happen to just one sister and 4. Why isnt it mentioned further on in the section for our martyed lady? Because in the current book, the 2nd edition codex, the witch hunters codex, the imperial agents book, the white dwarf codex, no wiki, no d4chan article..nothing. it took me..37min to check everything. So i would advise be more helpful next time and consider some one wouldnt ask for a source if its something so commonly found in a codex. Because you are not helping and you are furthering an untruth.

The adepta sororitas get a bad reputation largely because of the game Soulstorm. The Order of the Sacred Rose was ridiculously overzealous fanatics, but they hardly speak for the rest of the Orders Militant. Many of the Sister Orders are various degrees of zealotry, but more often than not they are very kind toward Guardsmen, and to an extent, they bolster morale even moreso than Astartes. Guard regiments have proclaimed that the Sisters of Battle have treated them as equals, and that the hospitalers who perform their holy tasks may take time to weep at the deaths of even lowly guardsmen, but they will continue to do their duty in the Emperor's name. The Sororitas can be even more zealous than Astartes, but they also possess some of the kindest and most compassionate souls in the Imperium at large. Absolutely terrific video as always.

I'm going to be honest: I've never played the tabletop. Never bought or painted my own army - and I don't really want to do either.

I've never cared too much to dive in to the lore of the Astartes (with one exception) or Mechanicus, or any of the massively augmented factions, xenos or Chaos forces. But the Astra Militarum and Adepta Sororitas have always interested me. Because they are made of people who are - underneath all their training, weapons and armor - only people. Not genetically engineered superhumans, not space wizards or anything. Just human. This video - especially the small audio drama prologue - was a treat to listen to. I hope you keep doing these.

Bruh...I just bought the McFarlane action figure cause I thought it looked cool.... I didn't know I was getting a kickass zealot. She will have her own shelf space. Don't want her to go decapitating my other figures. Thank you for this video!

[@musicwarrior7630]

Bad ass veterans, space Nazis , super soldiers now goth battle maidens......I love this franchise

[@Frostwulf1313]

This was my first time on your channel. I couldn't subscribe fast enough once the intro concluded. As with others who have commented: I had tears in my eyes. You, sir, are an artist.

[@bukasajonathan8828]

"THE MUTANT, THE HERETIC, THE WITCH" I love that part so much

[@bukasajonathan8828]

man, you like comments of a year-old video what a CHAD you just got yourself a new subscriber. (love your voice btw)

[@atomsk01]

That was the single greatest opening eleven minutes of any KZbin video. Ever. You have a gift, friend.

[@captaincatastrophe5143]

I've only been a subscriber for less than a week now, going back through your older videos as they come up on my suggested feed. The opening to your videos before you even get to the main bit of information has yet to leave me with dry cheeks or a still heart. Truly you are a genius of the pen, and a saint of the page. Bravo you magnificent bastard.

[@Patrick-pq3dx]

By the Throne, get yourself more views. These videos are absolutely fantastic. The story, the *storytelling*, the music, choice of artwork, these videos are amazing.

[@mikewatt4265]

As everyone else has said, your introduction was incredible. You have talent sir.

[@XtraRiceInc]

Dude, Never was a fan of Audiobooks but the intro made me feel the mood of the downed Guard... You have REAL Talent Sir...

[@thejackal9834]

That was the most phenominal lore video I've ever had the pleasure of watching.

[@Kay_Drechsler]

Such an awesome coverage of one of my favorite factions of the 40K universe! Thanks a lot for this and keep up your brilliant work!

[@Baldermort]

Thank you for listening brother Mausiboi. Doing my best. : )

[@XDerNetteMannX]

I already watched /listened to this video atleast 20btimes just for this epic story at the beginning. I just love it and really want a audio book with baldermort voice. Keep up the good work

[@HammerdownProtocol]

Superb as always, sirrah. I'm a recent convert to the Imperial Truth, having spent many years dismissing the Orders Militant as 'Nuns with Guns'. Now, they're easily my favourite faction.

[@davidk6269]

This is a truly epic lore upload. The opening story was incredibly exciting and immersive. The writing, voice acting, sound effects/music and the depth of the lore is truly fantastic. Thank you for bringing so much joy to us WH40k lore fans! I greatly look forward to your future uploads.

[@Baldermort]

Thanks a million, David. I tried the sound effects, so if you say they worked out I will try not to be such a coward and get more in. Playing it safe seems to be a waste of time when the community here is patient and give good feedback. Its liberating knowing I won't be booed off if I make a blunder. Glad it is working out and hope to continually raise the standard until we are all happy. Many thanks for your generosity and your time, brother. :)

[@davidk6269]

@@Baldermort It is we fans who should be thanking you!!! I can understand your fear of causing disappointment in your fans, but please put those unnecessary fears to rest. Your talent and obvious love of the lore shows through in all of your uploads, and I honestly can not envision a scenario wherein you "disappoint" us or are "booed off". Any effort on your part to explore how to raise the already impressive level of your uploads will be met with true enthusiasm. ; ) Cheers!!!

[@Baldermort]

Thank you for this amazing and open-handed complement. I will try to reduce my nerves. But can we drop the F word? We're all fans of warhammer. I'm just a mouthpiece for this awesome lore. So, brothers, not Fans. Or it will ruin me, which will ruin the channel and community and content. Always always just brothers of fellow fans of warhammer. Sorry, but I want to make sure I stay positive and remember I just regurgitate the work of others. Ego kills creativity in my view. :) Many thanks for all of your support. It is very welcome and why I keep going when things are tough. Thank you. :)

[@pimpsandwich9521]

love how you give a story before the analysis and breakdown of the factions to really give a taste of what running into these beings would be like if you were an average guardsman, etc. its my favorite part of your videos aside from your commanding narration. consistent spine tingles to be had every chapter it seems.

[@johanrevelid2573]

chills! ....son of the emperor ..warrior of humanity... Best intro ever!

[@PreacherwithoutaPulpit]

Simply stunning and the Sisters themselves are not bad either. Extremely well done Brother as are all your videos. I find the Sisters fascinating and honestly quite stunning, even when they're not by most standards. There's just something I can't quite put my finger on about them. As always I truly hope you find time for a bit of fun for yourself and thank you for another truly wonderful bit of fun you've given us all...

[@Szminsky]

Got a tear in my eye from that intro. Truly magnificent. Such a vocal talent 🌷

[@Baldermort]

Thank you for listening brother Szminsky. :)

[@m1sTeRpErKiNs]

The opening story gets me so fired up, the same way watching the charge of Rohan in the Two Towers does. Amazing work as always, good sir.

[@goliathsteinbeisser3547]

"Semi-Authoritarian" Brother, what in Hella's name would a fully authoritarian regime look in your mind? Do I want to know?

[@randomlygeneratedname]

Well technically it is semi authoritarian if you worship the emperor and work towards the property of mankind how you do it does not matter too much tjere are far more authoritarian regimes about today

[@whitecreamymilk8436]

you dont generally die from getting someone the wrong flavor of coffee in the imperium.

[@whitecreamymilk8436]

@id1 l ok and its still semi authoritarian. There are so many checks and balances authoritarianism can never actually take hold on terra. Youd need all those groups to cone together at once and do away with their individual powers all at once to allow for authoritarianism.

[@archdornan4389]

It would involve the emperor personally smiting all who ought to be smote.

[@alizard7617]

Yea the imperium exists in a limbo between feudal and authoritarian. Generally authoritarian on a planetary scale, but feudal on a Galactic scale.

[@Stefanius058]

The intro story had me in tears nearly when the sister told the guardsman to say the words. Beautifully told my friend well done.

[@shadowsift]

That opening gave me the chills 🐸

[@Baldermort]

My job here is done. :) Many thanks for listening, brother shadowsift. Very appreciated indeed. :)

[@embodiedmayhem]

Im new to the verse of 40k amd warhammer in general and got lost in the lore video rabbithole on youtube. This is my first video of yours and your voice us incredible for this. Keep up the amazing work

[@mangaka350]

Waifus of battle as I called them~

[@Sciencephily]

I have listened to this a few times over the past couple of days, and i have to say how much i wish i could be there. Risking one's life for their beliefs, Shoulder to shoulder with brother in arms. Watching as hulking woman in power armor sing melodies while slitting the throats of the unholy corruption. What a sight it would be... Sigh.... Imagining such a scene is truly satisfying. I'm just sad that i have spent 28 years on this earth never knowing the Majesty, and brilliant writing of people Like you. How sad it is that i didn't come a crossed the Warhammer 40k universe earlier in life. Well i am without a fan. I have decided to make it my mission to read each, and every one of the books before i die. For the Emperor!

[@chrisprescott2273]

So far my favorite of your audio drama monologues. What a cool narrative. Loved it.

[@Baldermort]

Thank you brother Prescott. :) :)

[@romainrondeau4242]

i discovered your channel by looking for a sisters of silence video and man your voice is magical ! I've been listening to your stuff all day even on things i already know just for the pleasure of hearing you saying it...and yes i know this video is old but i feel the need of writing it here after listening to the story.

[@Baldermort]

Thank you for such generosity of spirit brother. I truly appreciate it. :)

[@asmordisfluffbreaker4999]

That intro story was bloody breath TAKING, Makes me want to go back to loyalists instead of chaos.

[@thebrokenmask8304]

Your story telling skills are off the chart. This intro was legit top tier material. I could litteraly picture out everything.

[@aawallace98]

after seeing flack armor fail to stop arrows i can kinda see why the catachan fighters dont bother

[@duddude321]

It's an issue of coverage. Guardsmen aren't exactly in full-body suits of power armor so a high enough saturation of arrow fire can accomplish the statistical inevitability of eventually hitting somewhere without a layer of hardened metal/ceramic or pierce resistant weave on top of it. I'm more astounded that the xenos could field that many archers given the intensity of the fire they had to run through to get within bow range. Also, I'm surprised the artillery shills weren't killing them all. It's kinda what artillery does best in the event of a massed charge.

[@aawallace98]

@@duddude321 oh i know that but almost every battle in the warhammer 40 k universe is of such a massive scale that the chance of them hitting an exposed area is almost certain or the enemies are so powerful flack armor is like wet tissue paper the extra mobility gained by not wearing it might be more valuable

[@davidwooden3878]

36:53 Baldermort, you're a dune fan too?? Any chancs we'll get any dune videos from you?

[@FlourEater]

first video I´ve watched on your channel, as a 40k veteran of 20 years what can I say... *subscribes in the name of the God-Emperor*

[@Baldermort]

lol! Thank you brother. Welcome to the Guides. Great to have another old hand here. Thanks for listening. :)

[@BEESKIT800]

BRUHH. I have never in my life been jaw agape at anything. Movie, book, music, you name it. But that story in the beginning? The music? It had my jaw dropped and I didnt even notice until the end. Magnificent. I am thoroughly impressed.

[@valdimarinn]

You are so consistent with your quality that I like your videos before i watch them , cos I know that they will be excellent

[@Baldermort]

Valdimar Jónsson well, brother, always reserve judgement. If I get it wrong - just kindly and patiently where I erred and I will learn. Thank you for watching. It is very appreciated indeed. :).

[@FrosTBerQ]

Watched this video a week ago. Here I am now reading everything I could find about W40K (Especially the sisters). Thanks to your immersive storytelling and your dead on voice.

[@Thenerdywalrus]

Superb work, I have long loved the lore of the 40k universe and the sisters of battle have been a favourite. To my eye any woman who faces infavourable odds with courage, be they a bully, a personal challenge or even their own mind, is as beautiful and fierce to my heart as the sisters are depicted in their art work

[@tnh723]

You really are the best. The intro story was BEAUTIFUL and I listen to it from time to time to relive the magic. You are a wizard. Thank you so much. Cheers from the Philippines. Very loyal fan here. Oh yeah.... THICC SORORITAS! ♡
