Hi Baldy can you please please pretty please do an in character in universe interview with oculis imperia that would be awesome

That first story honestly showed me why I love 40k so much like just how you told it had so many emotions and thinking’s going on within me thank you so much

[@KalashVodka175]

I loved how the stories are successive over the course of millennias, as if a mythology was built, the origin of the dynasty to the current day, a return to the days of old

[@chetbrayton5173]

The biggest tragedy of the 41st millennium is that black library hasn’t hired you yet. The 1st story in this video single-handedly showed me an aspect of Fulgrim that I had never appreciated before in my 3+ years in the hobby.

[@awiyaann2826]

i miss my captain and her adopted eldar child flying everywhere thank you for reminding me what fun that was

[@Unseenarchivist]

I adored your call to action at the end during memory lane. It reminds me that what I really want to field is a true Imperium army. A real mix, solid core of Imperial Guard, reinforced by Skitarii and Kastelan Robots, flamer weilding battle sisters and grim Astartes. Modern 40k frowns on and gives no official support for such projects, but I'm certain that few opponents at a hobby club would begrudge facing such a thematic army. As you are so fond of saying, we must make time for fun!

[@_-JonDoe-_]

Its gotta be expensive and uncompetitive, but I’ve dreamt of using the Detachment system to do exactly what you’re talking about. The idea of building your night’s army just by grabbing individual pre-stated detachments to create your Imperium-tag Battlegroup.. maybe you play a 2k game with 1k IG, 500 SM, 500 AM. Throw in some Sororitas, maybe a squad of Deathwatch, Inquisitors.. whatever calls to you that day.

[@gunnerbradley5282]

If memory serves you can go to a Warhammer shop and run an ‘Armageddon’ game. No rules against what you mix together and something like a 20,000 point limit. That’s what a buddy of mine suggested, and it’s what my army (rogue trader themed) is based off of.

Bless you, brother. The homage to The Book was grand. Hit this old Ork right in the heartstrings. The Rogue Traders are the main characters of 40k. It may focus on the Primarchs, the Inquisition, the Mechanicum, or any number of forces, factions, and heroes (or villains). But, the Rogue Traders, they ARE the story.

Thanks for this Bald. I was 12 years-old when a friend showed me Rogue Trader in 1988. I had played D&D/AD&D , Star Frontiers, Top Secret, Star Wars WEG, Battletech, Call of Cthulhu, and a few others. But there was NOTHING like Rogue Trader. It was absolutely insane. Yet made perfect sense to me. I really miss those days. So thank you for this walk down "ye olde memorie layne."

[@Drgunzo616]

I was 11 years old in 1987. It was the first time my brother-in-law brought me to his friends house to play "role playing games". Our host has just returned from college in Japan where he had sold his RPG Phantasm Adventures to a company there. We played Rolemaster, D&D and games like Squad Leader. Never played Rogue Trader then but I knew of it. The story telling and long Saturday nights of gaming help kindle my unending curiosity for new worlds to explore. Twas a magical time.

[@musicilike69]

Always a warm welcome for the gentle reader :) I'm just doing my thing, hanging around Mr Morts page looking in corners and under rocks in case I somehow missed the next part of my favourite storyline and watching everything else as a courtesy. I am seriously musing that the much rumoured bastard that Thaddeus and Tarquinus are pursuing has some masterplan aimed squarely at the culmination of Tarquinus as the Thaddeus. But I know I haven't got the half of it lol, dammit where is it, the suspense is killing me!!?? ;)

[@riffhurricane]

Sorry Balders, picked it up when it dropped yesterday - I couldn't wait to get my greasy paws on it. Love the section on the OG Rogue Trader. It takes me back to my childhood, every Sunday me & my buddy would live the dream, bringing justice to the galaxy - one corpse at a time. From one old ghoul to another though - are you sure the nostalgia isn't just because it was so good, but because we were kids at the time?

Yet another great video Baldermort!

Can't wait for your next upload!

[@brothermaynard5155]

As always, thanks for all the work and presentation of the lore. Rogue traders are not my favourites in WH40k, but you have once again done an excellent job presenting the background of the 40k version of the East India Company, as always. One remark though: the deals in the description are probably limited to the UK or are different in other regions. In the French Gamesplanet store there is no discount on the RT when clicking your link (same prices on all editions as in the Steam store), while the Sigmar game shows only 10% off. In both cases your affiliate code is visible, but the discounts are 0% and 10%, respectively. It's possible that Gamesplanet limit the discounts to your UK viewers. Not a big deal, but maybe something you would like to be aware of.

Really excellent video. Your ability to understand, write and do justice to soo many different factions, situations and characters in the setting is as always supremely impressive. I speak in total honesty when I say, that You display a greater grasp of the nuances than many official Black Library authors. In this alone You "get"; Fulgrim, Rogue-trader nobility politics and the essence of them as an appealing sub-faction. But your greatest strengt is your "warmth"! You are so different from the sadly so often cynical, negative and hostile tone in the fanbase. Your "old war stories" and genuine joy for the setting is endlessly refreshing.

[@Baldermort]

Coming from YOU, that means a lot. I’ve not had a great year. I hope to do much much better in 2024. Thank you for all of your indefatigable support. Financial, mental, and every other kind. It is deeply deeply appreciated. Thank you brother Kristiansen.

My dream 40k army... -Legions of Death Korps of Krieg -Mordian Iron Guards for artillery and post-conquest occupation -Catachan Jungle Fighters for advanced scouting and sabotage/guerilla warfare -Valhallan Ice Warriors for artillery and snow warfare obviously. -Tallarn Desert Raiders for Desert raiding of course. Then we get to the forces ONLY a rogue trader could acquire.... -Ork speed freaks for tanks and mobilization forces. -Eldar for navigation and fleet reinforcements. -Aaaaaand finally to broker deals with Trayzn to trade relics for being able to borrow some of his museum exhibits now and then.

[@Kamina.D.Fierce]

I forgot a few more for my dream 40k army if I were a rogue trader: -A tank battalion of the Armageddon Steel Legion (Obviously with Commissar Yarrick leading... when he can... and I would absolutely have to make sure neither he or the Speed Freaks I'd have working for me would ever cross paths) -Commissar Ciaphas Cain would be my top advisor/overseer of the Valhallan Ice Warriors (secretly him covering the rear would mean I'm guaranteed safety from being out flanked thanks to his luck). -A regiment of the Praetorian Guards to assist either the Mordian Iron Guard OR the Catachan Jungle fighters. -Elysian Drop Troopers for space combat and orbital drop ambushes. -I would also at least request to meet Sly Marbo but I doubt that would happen and I understand. -Top it off with a single Imperial Knight mech. -Followed by either stealing or buying a number of Tau mechs to backup the knight. -Lastly, the one thing money cannot buy nor barter for/with and thus is impossible to acquire: A tendril fleet taken from Hive Fleet Kronos. Explicitly to unleash it on Demon worlds for a laugh. (Perhaps Trayzn could help arrange it. Lol)

[@coldshoulder8550]

You waxing lyrical at the end of the video really helped inspire me. I bought the imperial agents codex and was excited to see the imperial navy playable alongside inquisitors and Rogue traders for a single sub faction. It got me wanting to build up my own force and to customize it and make it my own slice of 40k . Then I began playing the rogue trader and loved it.The game has made me want to make my own Force even more . Sadly the rules of 40k army building are a tad bit too constricting. After hearing your words I wanted to build this army for myself . Even if it isn't table top legal. I just imagine my rogue trader ,a pirate hunter, on the fringes of space cleaning up the small threats the larger imperium doesn't have time for using his vast resources to amass private military might working alongside inquisitors and some space marines I have not decided an origin for. Recruiting a kroot shaper and raising loyal kroot hounds to work with the main forces of the rogue trader. To build an army close to playable on table top but more because I haven't felt this in love with a project of warhammer 40k for many years.

Just ask friends if you can have a hodge podge army and no lethal combos are coming. Just fun. They’d be mad not to play you. :)

I'm really late to this party, apologies for that, but I just have to say it again; Baldy, you're a master of your craft, and a criminally underappreciated one at that. I wish you and everyone else here a merry christmas, and every future success.

Undoubtedly the best job to have in the whole of the mythos.

My first time hearing that story. I liked it, Fulgrim was once good.

Fantastic work with this one. Evocative as hell! really makes me want to dust off the X men themed Gensetealer cult !

Thank you for all your efforts. It brings my imagination to life. It was a pleasure to listen to you.
