Blood angles = tragic heros Thousand sons = tragic villans

[@CousinJesse1]

How are the Thousand Sons tragic villains?

[@Thunderous117]

Jesse James it’s a long story but their leader Magnus used sorcerery to try to warn the emperor of Hourus’s heresy and rebellion but inadvertently ruined the emperor’s Webway project (because the emperor never told anyone about it) allowing demonic invasion of the heart of the imperial palace on holy terra which is why the emperor was forced to stay on the Golden throne even before he was wounded, following this the emperor sent Russ and his wolves to punish Magnus and the Thousand sons for their violation of imperium law and generally fucking everything up on a galactic scale, I’ve read somewhere that he wanted them punish but the wolves decided to crank it to an 11 and started a battle to wipe out Magnus and the thousand sons and ultimately that’s what forced them to turn to chaos for salvation, Magnus had a single flaw which was his love and thirst of knowledge and even though he and his legion truly wished to help the emperor and mankind Magnus was driven from his father for foolishness which is why their story is a tragedy

[@Ancarai]

@@Thunderous117 Russ was tricked by Horus to crank it up if I am not remembering wrong.

[@malekiththeeternityking5433]

@@Thunderous117 Yeah no that isn't what happened. I'll explain why they are tragic villains Magnus is a Psyker the second best after me his legion had a fatal flaw they would turn into Chaos Spawns. Magnus bargained with a demonic entity which he "defeated" and forced it to save his legion. Anyway after battling with the Space Wolves and word Bearers showing both legion their power in psychic talents the Wolves were horrified and complained to the Emperor. Mortarion and Russ both demanded that the Emperor punish Magnus. The Emperor decided to outlaw any psychic abilities. Which was kind of like a slap in the face to Magnus but he accepted his decision. Now Horus had been corrupted and Magnus learned of this in the warp and tried to convince Horus to return back and failed he then tried to tell the Emperor but like you said he ruined the Webway project which was the reason the Emperor sent Russ he asked Russ to bring Magnus before him and explain his actions. But Horus seeing a chance to destroy two loyalist legions ordered Russ to attack Tzica and Prospero. Magnus ordered his fleet to leave and pretty much made his planet defenseless up until the Wolves if Fenris who hate the Thousa d Sons started butchering the women and children in Tzica did Magnus finally come and fight with his legion. Russ fought his brother and killed him but before Magnus died he and his surviving soldiers fled to the world of Sorcerers in the immaterium. Which is where Magnus learned that Tzeencth manipulated Magnus from the start. Pretending to lose yo him in a battle and "fixing" his legions genetic flaw. In reality he postponed it. There you have it thats why they are tragic villains

[@AarieaaronFTW]

@@atsukunisumeragi1967 But they never arrived on Terra before their execution by the Space Wolves. Only Magnus came close through the webway and was shoo'd away immediately, they never learned of Horus's changing of the order so they believed it was in fact an order from the Emperor himself.

Some may call them cursed, touched by chaos, even damned, despite their angelic visages. But I say, what is purity, that has not been tested by poison? What is heroism, that has never felt darkness gnaw at its core and proven righteous nonetheless? What is nobility if it is not to struggle even against a doom that is inevitable? Scorn not the Sons of the Angel for their curse, it is the imperfection that makes them the greatest of us all. In ancient pre-Imperial Terra the Nipponese called it *wabisabi*, the flaw that reveals true beauty.

The Blood Angels are a very tragic legion/chapter. Their Primarch Sanguinius is rightly considered to be the noblest and most beloved son of the emperor. Yet he was cruelly slain by Horus, sacrificing himself to make sure the Emperor would eventually win. His death also worsened the genetic flaws of the Blood Angels which drive them closer to madness whilst they still attempt to remain noble defenders of the imperium. Finally despite how highly venerated their Primarch is the Blood Angels are one of the most feared chapters in the Imperium.

[@EvilETV]

Correct me if I am wrong, but was not my Lord Sanguinius brutally strangled to death by Horus? A traumatic event experience indeed; Underlined by the utter sadness staring up into the face of his assailant as it occurred. Despite that Sanguinius loved each of his brothers, Horus was the one he loved, respected, admired, and looked up to the most. Who he had held in esteem above all except perhaps the Emperor. For it was Horus who had first taken Sanguinius and my beloved legion under his tutelage when they had yet to earn honour and respect in the eyes of the rest of the Crusaders? The singular brother who at one time, without hesitation or doubt, held his hand out to his noble and misunderstood brothers in order to guide them towards eventually attaining the pinnacle of nobility. I can only imagine the soul crushing despair felt by Sanguinius in that moment. It is by conjecture that this immense sadness, born of love and tragedy, amplified by the severe traumatic asphyxiation and transmitted to his sons via his innate psychic abilities. To me the echo of that moment was so powerful it still echos in the minds and hearts of every Blood angel and successor even ten thousand years later. This..... this is the cause of the black rage. How horrible it must be to fight the rage induced by this event perpetrated by the once beloved Horus. Each battle brother stuck between The dichotomy of the intense love and righteous anger felt by Sanguinius in his final, tragic moment.

[@garyrobertson2679]

@@EvilETV Hi I don't know if you're your wrong about him being being strangled but I was surprised to hear it. It's the 1st time I heard that detail. I've never played the games that give you a codex of details that you don't get in the Horus Heresy novels or in the Blood Angels novels before that, I have them all. I just knew of his increasingly vivid visions the closer he got to his greatest battle and ultimate death at the hands of the Warmaster. Lying dead, wings spread out under him broken along with his sword, also broken. May I ask where you get this information from? I watch other channels describing details like Guilliams resurreccion and his fight to Terra. Details I only get months later after reading the latest novel and most of that just rare glimpses. Thank you.

[@garyrobertson2679]

How different each chapter ascends to full Astartes. Some are kept fully awake no anesthesia as their new organs are put in their body the test is survival. Others like the Space Wolf's as the helix does it's work turning them into rabid animal's, the test controlling it and surviving. Then sleeping as new organs a gene seed transforms their bodies. It seems only the Blood Angels and Space Wolves take something extra, different besides the gene seed, organs and indoctrination to become astartes in their specific chapter.

A handful had the Red Thirst long before the heresy, interestingly. The first outbreak of Black Rage happened before the Siege of Terra: on Signus against a daemon army. It occurs again at the exact moment Sanguinius dies. The entire legion on Terra gets it at once and charges at the enemy. Which sounds like fill-your-pants time.

[@TechNizzle88]

Signus Prime I believe, when Ka'banda struck 500 BA dead in one swipe. Sanguinius fell unconscious from the pain of losing so many in one fell swoop that the red thirst took hold of the vast majority of BA on the planet (Which I think at this point was the entire legion).

[@chrisg5219]

You're easily one of the best lore channel I've ever come across Baldemort. The quality of the audio is sublime and I have no doubt whatsoever that this channel will grow to become one of the titans of lorehammer!

[@kenhutchens513]

I so love the direct reading intros. The pure feeling of that person having actually lived thru you putting a strong deep voice that is imagined an Astartes would have when you portray them.

[@joelsmith9696]

The blood Angels are one of my favorite chapter's. Great job sir.

[@baldermort]

Thank you for listening, brother Joel. Hopefully we can get to round 2 soon., Not too soon, but soon. :)

[@jamesbravo1931]

I have watched other channels about 40k lore and they are pretty good. However yours is by far the most exceptional to me. Even though you narrate and quote entries from the codexes, you develop stories of your own characters. The story of Captain Rubio...the music, the narration, your voice...it makes it so perfect. This video that is about my favorite faction of 40k, you hsve made them justice. Captain Rubio symbolizes everything the Blood Angels are supposed to be...the story almost made tear up over how glorious it was. And so, I congratulate you over this masterpiece. The Angel would be proud of you as is the Emperor. I look forward for your new content. For the Emperor and Sanguinius!

[@darkscholar625]

To the Emperor, I imagine that Horus was his pride and Sanguinius, his joy. Which makes the Heresy all the more tragic.

[@TheKlabim]

Just learned of this channel. Such a shame you do not have millions of views!

[@baldermort]

Well, Rome wasn't built in a day. :) Slowly getting there. I do have one million views! I was really proud of that. :)

[@ravenseeker8267]

Wait, it thought Blood angels recieved the "gift" of Red thirst from Ka'Bandha during the horus heresy on Signus Prime, and that the back lash of Sanguinius' death was the reason why they have Black Rage. Besides that, your vids are amazing, continue on my dude!

[@Nightbanekaizer]

The last two minutes of this was amazing. Literally had me in tears hearing the powerful reply from Captain Rubio to Kabanda. This is the second time I've listened here since I've lately been playing Pace Hulk Tactics as the Blood Angels. You've made me a fan of this faction.

[@JohnSmith-nc9ep]

Terrific monologue! Most engrossing, atmospheric -- for a brief moment I was there. Well done Sir.

[@Badazztard]

One thing I have to say impressed me about the Blood Angels is their connectedness to their Primarch. Those born decades, centuries, or thousands of years later can still..."experience" Sanguinius just as much as those who walked with him when he lived. All of humanity is fighting the external war but the Blood Angels fight a special war within. Sanguinius could literal be there in their memories going "Are ya winning, son?". Theirs is certainly a tragic tale but their devotion to the Imperium of Man and to Sanguinius is inspiring.

[@AvgWellInformedCitizen]

Narrated with such conviction, I thought it came from Chaplain LeMartes himself! Somehow I always imagined Rutger Hauer in the role of a Blood Angels Captain.

[@lazaruslong697]

Notification squad, we hit like at Baldemort's command!

[@itsyaboii8887]

The tone of voice fits perfectly it would occasionally give me goosebumps hearing the Blood Angel's codex ❤

[@VladimirVargovich]

The outro man, the outro! Chills 👏🏻

[@jameslusk5894]

I approve of this always love hearing about the transition of the Blood Angels

[@baldermort]

Rogal Dorn thank you brother Rogal. :).

[@VanagandrAngr]

Your emotions when you talk about Angels broke my heart. That is one thing that I love the most about this channel - how you are able to express different emotions depending on the situation and more importantly how your voice can invoke those same emotions in the listener. I have felt sadness and rage for the Angels, despise for Horus, pride and rage for Imperial Fists. Although none of those emotions were my own when I started to listen to those videos. You made them my own. That is a sign of a true artist - an ability to make the audience feel something they don't usually do. You, my dear Baldemort, - MADE ME FEEL. And for that I thank you.

[@chumley1013]

I've been a fan of your work for a while now. Your voice is magic and so perfect for 40k! I look forward to a video about the Ultramarines or Guilliman! 💜💜💜

[@ValhallasCalling84]

This is the single most greatest thing you have ever done. Im a massive blood angels collector and black library reader but hearing this from you is absolutely amazing. Honestly you did justice to everything blood angels with this 🩸🩸🩸

[@theroadstopshere]

Between you and Wolf Lord Rho, I've gone from a love of the lore but little interest in playing the tabletop to laying out the budget to buy my own Blood Angels, learn the rules, and paint the minis. Hell, I'm considering buying posters. GW owes you two.

[@mako2350]

This is why I play Blood Angels and Custodes, no fear all strength!!! Smash Captains for the win!!!!!!!

[@dillon1320]

I'm pretty sure it was the Black Rage not Red Thirst that was started with Sanguinius death. The Red Thirst had always been a problem and was mentioned in a few Horus Heresy Books.

[@thandovanika8952]

Iron within iron without, get the hint. Seriously your so goddamn good at your job only you could do them justice.

[@sithprimarch9970]

I think I speak for most people here when I say that we love the long video's, it's more immersive that's way. Another great video.

[@allmanius]

There is only one criticism I can give this great piece of art, which is: The Blood Ravens aren’t a Blood Angels successor chapter, they’re a bunch of Space Magpies who are strongly rumoured to be gene sons of Magnus the Red that will steal anything shiny & try to pass it off as a relic or artefact of the chapter

[@rabidXmexijewX]

You did not disappoint my humble lore master FOR THE ANGEL FOR THE EMPEROR

[@yoreichenherz6847]

Yes its my favourite time ,its Uncle's Baldermort's Story time *grabs snack and cuddles deep into blanket and sits down on his couch while the Fire Place in the Living room is lit* Ya probaly the Best Story teller i yet met , and i would bet my Sunglasses that it will stay that way till my last breath

[@SmithGuy]

Amazing video!! i have always loved the Blood Angels. A little upset the Black Templar didn't get a hour long video as well, but still a great video! lol

[@Nimbasa180]

You're an amazing writer, & orator. You've bless the warhammer community. May the Emperor smile on you, & take you by his side.

[@thedislikebutton3425]

Awesome video! You didn't just tell me lore - you brought the lore to life. Magical! Subbed

[@primarisgainssbbg3038]

Loved the intro. It was epic and the music in the background was perfect

[@matthewdeleon382]

54:32 Guttering candle? Guttering candle? My good sir IF the blood angels burn out, it will be a glorious blaze.

[@irondiver2034]

Good God! What an ending. I was clapping my hands and stopping my feet. Thank you for this video and please keep up the good work.

[@saecheez9438]

I really, really enjoy your story telling and the selection of the music in the background just adds a whole nother level to it, tragic yet at the same time inspiring. I believe I only found your channel a few days ago but have already listened to a numerous of your videos. Keep up the good work!!

[@sunjian5458]

Sacrifice their humanity? Well I understand that from the becoming Marines perspective but, you guys are artists, artisans, and even musicians. I remember reading somewhere that the Blood Angels are taught more "humanizing" talents painting, carpentry, music, etc etc. I imagine that's done so they can be that much closer to humanity. I mean I for one would LOVE to see a Blood Angel Art Gallery. ...Its all probably gonna be super sad stuff but still!

[@wiibrockster]

The Blood Angels have some great lore and your narration made me feel really immersed in the lore. Sanguinius is one of the best Primarch's too but he'll never top Rogal Dorn in my eyes.

[@axelmilan4292]

I do believe that Lord Baldemort is in fact one of the missing Primarchs

[@surfer7264]

This was excellent. Only having started watching your videos,I find them most engaging. The story in the beginning,the depth of the lore. But most of all the voice and theatrics. WELL DONE SIR!!! WELL DONE.

[@ness877]

I think you probably have the most 40k voice ive ever heard, absolutely perfect for the setting

[@TechNizzle88]

Jee-zus. That last dialogue gave me serious goosebumps. This is one of if not THE best videos on Blood Angel lore I have yet seen. Thank you for this.

[@jeshuavega4846]

Thank you so very much friend, I appreciate this today as you have no idea. Im glad to see keep going strong. Thanks of covering our chapter.

[@AussieBakester]

Awesome video, really captured the essence of the best legion. Keep up the wonderful work.

[@abeljames3660]

Ah, my boys, my beautiful boys. Love blood angels. Glad you've made this one

[@GillySquid]

The intro was beautiful. Thank you so much for what you do Baldermort.

[@maxdoran2504]

I think you have the BEST voice for a commenter ever. Not only that but the video is bloody great, keep it up 👍🏻

[@saheterabakutisha1476]

I squealed with delight when I saw this notification. I'm not ashamed.
