I see one of my most favorite mythical creatures in the video. As the legend of the Phoenix has it.... They rise out of their own ashes every few hundred years and are born again. Maybe Fulgrim was, in Soul, a Phoenix. Perhaps he'll come back someday?🌹😍💕

[@kayvaanmcsharrowkyn6901]

This is Legendary Uncle! And Well Deserved...as I feel that Fulgrim has been Unfairly relegated into his "Villain" role, and soo many people either gloss over, or downright forget/ Don't know , the Depth of One of the most Charismatic Primarchs that ever existed. And Also, they see Fulgrims Fall from Grace as something that happened fairly quickly.. When in Reality, He was trapped in a VERY LONG DOWNWARD SPIRAL, That took a good period of time to finally pervert his body and mind to the point where he released his will and control into the service of Slaanesh. This masterpiece truly HUMANIZES FULGRIM... And we see his struggles and trials and tribulations. And in some ways....IT WASN'T ALL HIS FAULT... THE EMPORER...BIG DADDY E, AND UNCLE MELCADOR, DID NOT FULLY PREPARE THE PRIMARCHS FOR ALL THE DANGERS AND TRUE EVILS THE GALAXY HOLDS...AND WITHOUT RECON AND SITUATIONAL AWARENESS OF ONES SURROUNDINGS, INCLUDING INFORMATION ABOUT THE ENEMIES STRENGTH AND TACTICS.. ANY CONFLICT OF ARMS IS DOOMED TO FAILURE. AND THE CASUALTIES WILL BE INCALCULABLE. Had Fulgrim been prepared for the Threat of Chaos...and was Fully aware of the Destruction it could cause through it's INSIDIOUS NATURE..... WHO KNOWS? MAYBE ISTVAAN WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. Anyways....ANOTHER JEWEL OF A NARRATIVE UNCLE B! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS AND PLEASE KNOW THAT EVEN WHEN I AM HAVING A HORRIBLE DAY.....I NOT ONLY TRY AND MAKE SONE TIME FOR FUN....But I can put on one of your Oldies But Goodies from a past Playlist and things start to look brighter. I Appreciate ALL THAT YOU DO FOR THE COMMUNITY , AND FOR JUST BEING HONEST AND AWESOME! MAY YOU HAVE THE SPEED OF THE WHITE SCARS IN ALL OF YOUR AFFAIRS! GOOD DAY UNCLE!

Aye. Clonegrim, Guilliman and Legion of the Damned Ferrus triple teaming Daemon Fulgrim (ooh er missus) is my ultimate dream moment in 40K.

I don't like the idea of primarch clones. It is implied that warp sorcery was used in creating the primarchs (I think I'm creating their souls personally) which is what imbues then with physics defying abilities. If they can just be cloned why didn't Emps make legions of primarchs?

[@Galaxybreaker97]

I completely agree i used to be super indifferent to fulgrim but after the plague wars novels it changed my perspective and balddy here just helpped it out i wanna see clonegrim now

[@flaneur2476]

The tragedy of Fulgrim… he truly stopped believing in himself… the mental trauma he endured from the very start. To fall so short to temptation… to have the galaxies fate in his hands not once… but twice… and he stopped believing in the one person who mattered most in those moments. Himself

[@TheGCRust]

Angron going down to Isstvan was the tipping point for the traitors. He forced Horus and the others to actually get their hands dirty. To stop tiptoeing. Something that could be a misunderstanding and walk back from.

[@sinlesssoul]

I sincerely hope every primarch gets this kind of treatment. This was truly a treat to listen to. Russ, Vulcan, Sanguinius, and The Great Khan would all be amazing. Of course, as far as tragic, I would think Angron, Konrad, and Lorgar would also be worthy of note.

[@berilsevvalbekret772]

Magnus too! His story is just tragedy after tragedy.

[@beckyseward6759]

Konrad curze is my favorite traitor legion .... He's such an interesting character I find myself a little obsessed with him .... Something about evil batman that just does it, ya know ? Anyway he is for sure one of the most controversial primarchs that's for sure.... But I would love to hear baldemorts thesis on him.

[@devonstarr9298]

Thank you for making my days working fabrication more bearable.

[@lonedesertfox]

[@michaelking9818]

[@pentacosttb2565]

Easily the most Tragic of all the Traitor Primarchs. Once a stalwart and true champion of humanity, up there with Guilliman, Vulkan and Dorn in their care for improving the lot of the ordinary humans of the Imperium, and the dream of what the Imperium could be beyond just warfare, only to be tricked into becoming nothing but just a parody of his own, very human flaws, simply because he didn't know the enemy he faced was an enemy at all.

[@colinkillian9265]

One can blame the emperor..For had he told his son's the truth, that gods where very real and very dangerous. Had he explained his plan to starve them of their very source of life, human devotion. Had the emperor done this, he could have told his son's that the imperial truth was a lie for the betterment of mankind. He could have accepted the worship of his son Lorgar, keeping the chaos Gods from turning him and Horus later on..The Galaxy burns because one man, could not face up to the fact he was always a god..

I hope the Fulgrim Phoenix has the chance to rise from the ashes of treachery. The clone. It would be an awesome angle and story to see dual legions errr chapters? existing at the same time. One horribly corrupt to the core with a corrupt former son. Another restored with a restored legion. The pull between them would be like matter vs anti-matter.

I LOVE this video. The narration. The music. It really captures the weight, the magnitude, and the tragedy of Fulgrim's fall. If I had to describe this video in one word, I would have no trouble. For there is only one that is appropriate: Perfect.

[@Lightscribe225]

I wonder if the clone Fulgrim is the "True" Fulgrim. When he became a Daemon Prince, maybe the vices and insecurities that allowed Horus to turn him stayed with the Daemon while the soul Slaanesh removed was the pure stuff that remained loyal to the Emperor. In essence I wonder if this process had created a Fulgrim who would be impossible to corrupt to chaos because it had all been separated.

[@LordCommander-ui2fw]

If this is indeed the case, and Fulgrim-true in spirit if not necessarily in body-were to escape or be released from his prison within Trazyn's collection, then so much good could be done. I believe that, fully aware of his sins and humbled by his failures, his first step would be to seek out his brother Roboute, or maybe even travel to Terra and the Emperor himself, and throw himself forward to beg their forgiveness. To shuck all pride and arrogance, to apologize from the very depths of his heart for not being stronger, for not being wiser, and plead with them for a second chance, a chance of redemption, a chance to make right what he did wrong so long ago. While I do not believe that Guilliman would fully trust this new Fulgrim right away(and I can't even begin to guess the Emperor's reaction), he would be willing to give his brother a chance, a chance to do good as he once did, to earn back the trust of the Imperium.

[@LordCommander-ui2fw]

@@DaniMol Good point. His existence would have to be kept secret, never being allowed to show his face, and wearing armor that did not match with that of his Legion.

[@manuelsequeira135]

This is the first 40k lore video that, like real life, shows how differing perspectives can make something infinitely more interesting. Fulgrim is usually portrayed as a vain, egomaniac and to hear him discussed w such sympathy was incredible. Bravo.

[@manuelsequeira135]

@@Baldermort being a contrarion/ troll is easy to do and this was not it. The logic and perspective was honest and genuine. The comparisons to Sanguineous were what really nailed it to me. Always thought of Fulgrim as Sanguineous w the phrase, "there but by the grace of God go I."

[@inquisitorgarza312]

Perhaps one of the noblest sons of the Emperor before his descent to darkness, and perhaps even the image that the Emperor saw for humanity future. His fall wasn’t one of hatred or malice, instead it was because of his sense of imperfection he saw within self as he compared himself to his beloved father, and that haunt him for years before the Horus Heresy and once he pick up that horrible sword his fate was truly seal to the Dark Prince of Chaos.

[@pentacosttb2565]

Well, that and the rape snake sword slowly possessing him, due tk the fact he had no idea chaos existed. That Daemon tells Horus flat out that Fulgrim would NEVER have joined the Traitors of his own free will.

This storytelling always makes me feel like I'm sitting next to a campfire being told an epic tale of historical events.

23:50 was actually such an inspiring quote

[@Iaminyourwalls-fi4dm]

This Video honestly deserves to be your most viewed, it’s bloody impressive how you can change my mind this fast

[@randomcenturion7264]

What breaks my heart is that Clone Fulgrim is pretty much Fulgrim without any of the Chaos corruption clouding his mind. He was HORRIFIED learning everything his original did and the first real independent action he took was to save people from the Emperor's Children and was so compelling, even the corrupted EC Marines, for a moment, almost obeyed him. Mortarion and Angron were always lost causes, but Fulgrim, Magnus and Horus could've done so much good for humanity if it wasn't for FUCKING EREBUS ruining everything.

[@LetholdusKaspyr]

Thank you, Baldermort. Truly epic, and informative too. This has me looking at Fulgrim in a much different light, and I love it. Of course, Mirror Cracked would turn all that on its head, but I hate that story and choose to ignore it. The noble Phoenix makes for a beautiful and tragic story. Mirror Cracked reduces that to nothing and ruins the character.

[@mogar2813]

Your Horus Heresy and Primarch videos are my favorite of your works. It sounds like I’m listening to Ken Burns’ “Civil War”

[@stumpy1146]

Between Rogal Dorn's "Longest Second" and this, I don't know which one breaks my heart more. Brother Baldermort, you are an absolute MASTER storyteller!

[@AurelPirvulescu-d2t]

@@stumpy1146 The Longest Second is simply EPIC.

[@whiteru55ian33]

1:19:20 if there is ever a need for an actor to characterize Rogal Dorn. Stephen Lang would be a great pick. All I see is Stephen Lang in power armor.

[@BigDaddyGAO]

Fulfrim is the most relatable primarch becausehe solves his daddy issues with sex drugs and rock n roll.

[@SuperAmaton]

Ahh I love the long Version of your Intro with a Passion. But let's talk about the Chicken currently roasting, eh? Truthfully, I am of the same view as many others with Fulgrim - somebody that is exalted as being good at everything, wanting to be perfect is a shallow and worthless existence, filled only with hubris, built to see it's fall and get the commuppance. However, I do think I differ from others in that I understand this and can aknowledge it - I just can't comprehend it very well. If there is someting to be said about Fulgrim however, then it is this. Many, especially those that say, he could have done better by doing this and doing that - they are more similar to Fulgrim than they themselves might think.

[@YourManifoldWorld]

I got chills down my spin for a full 2 hours..

[@trajanfidelis1532]

Man, If Fulgrim had just virus bombed the Laer, he wouldn't have picked up that stupid sword

[@mattaffenit9898]

And he will never have as fabulous a majestic mane on his head as his father, or as the Great Angel.

[@Fifthmiracle]

Nonsense... Sanguinius asks Fulgrim for hair and makeup tips.

[@widdershins5383]

As soon as I read his books, Fulgrim and the Third had my heart and soul. Fabius is my idol lol

[@solidsentinel1285]

Alright good sir, you’re making me want to make a home brew loyalist EmpChil successor

[@WolfingtonStanley]

Finally found the time to listen to this properly, and may I say this is as well made and enthralling as your Rogal Dorn trilogy Sir you spoil us

[@bjornthefellhanded5655]

Was at 1AM last night, listened to your voice for the first 3 minutes and was like "aight I can fall asleep to this now"

[@tankoha1350]

Would love to see more emperors children content. Maybe about loyalists. I know there aren’t any left or atleast any that openly state that they are their successors (atleast that I know of). Maybe about the clones of Fabius bile or something like that

[@fallstaff1517]

I very much dislike the post Heresy emperor's children, but I deeply love the preheracy 30K emperor's children. And Fulgrim him self is so very Interesting. I'm so beyond hyped to listen to this and paint

[@whosthere8658]

Thats why fulgrim took the demons deal when he had the scales fall from his eyes. He couldn't take what happened to his son's and what he had done. So he accepted oblivion. God it's sad.

[@shealdme]

I have listen to "Rylanors last stand" almost every day, and i still get choked up, for it is truly a tragedy. The daemon Fulgrim is best summed up by Guilliman in 'Dark Imperium' ch3, "a corpse hidden in a bed of flowers".

[@johnnyblaze4053]

Fulgrim was my favorite Primarch and once perfection was his goal it led to his downfall. If that blade was jettisoned from the ship the heresy could have ended in his book. Great story; I learned so much. Thank you faithful servant Baldermort40k you are important to the lore of 40k!!

[@jeffclarke929]

if the people in charge at the Black Library/GW had any sense they would hire you to basically be the “voice” of 40k the way Ron Perlman is with Fallout. maybe approach it like Stan Lee did with his voice over narrations, OR if they really wanna make things easy just have you read out the intro lines thatwould normally just scroll up on screen.

[@Baldermort]

Oh, they have Keeble. They don’t need me. Thank you for the vote of confidence brother Clarke. A lot. :)

[@jeffclarke929]

@@Baldermort no disrespect to anyone else's work, but between this, the Longest Second, and your description of Sigismund's fall, i feel like you contribute something to the community that GW should embrace in its entirety. a genuine love for the setting coupled with the talent to produce content and present an interpretation of the series that is extremely engaging and entertaining.

[@Knightstruth]

This was the first video from Baldermort I ever watched and it remains by favorite to this day. His reading and the emotion he puts into it is just so well done.

[@Dimomult]

This episode was amazing. Could not have been done better by anyone. Well done Baltimore.

[@kiltedcripple]

As a still newcomer to this mythos, I love these extended deep dives on a given character. It really makes each entry very distinct and sorts the chapters out for me.

[@dannash2916]

There is no other way for me to say this, but this is simply incredible. Been a fan of the lore many many moons. There are so many facets to explore in this grim dark universe. But man, this story of Fulgrim and their Legion is exquisitely told. The Amber King's rendition is also of this status! Thank you Baldermort.

[@ericcloud1023]

You've built up such a large catalog of videos since I first started following you :) & your subscribers have been growing great as well, but you deserve sooo much more Baldermort......the Dark Prince See's this injustice, offer yourself to She Who Thirsts, give your soul to Slaanesh!!!

[@jamesburto1883]

Fulgrim has always been my favourite primarch and you done a great job. Not just focusing on the nasty but conveying the man he used to be. Love it, thanks

[@MagnusDidNothingWrong]

So happy the intro is back!!! Thank you Baldi!

[@mikeday5776]

Dear brother Baldermort, one of your very best! Like a poetic, tragic opera. The fall of Fulgrim, is a complex decent into madness and the desire for artistic perfection, like Nero’s self destructive ego writ large across the stars themselves. Bravo sir, bravo! 👏👏👏

[@Baldermort]

Thank you brother Day. Lot!!! ;)

[@en4135]

It's so easy to start painting a mental picture of Fulgrim post-Istvan. I can so vividly see him desperately trying to convince himself of the right so much so that he had to have Fabius clone his most beloved brother over and over because he NEEDED that affirmation, he someone, something, to tell him he was right, he needed something to lean on. That horrible relatable void is something the forces of Chaos love to fill, and how giddy Slaneesh must've been in that instant to prop up the broken little child that Fulgrim was in that moment. I have to imagine that Fulgrim knew what he'd done, he knew he was wrong, but he just couldn't admit it, couldn't go back. He'd killed his most beloved brother, massacred his sons, betrayed his father who seemed so proud of him. Fulgrim's options in that moment were so simple, turning on his allies in that moment would've amounted to nothing, his choices were Pointless Oblivion or Chaotic Eternity.

[@vaguedreams]

What I really wish, is for Baldermort to get a job doing audio books. Doesn't even need to be Warhammer 40k.

[@aldrigvila]

Wow … just wow. Out of all the 100s of hours of WH40k lore videos Ive watched. None come close to what I just experienced. Bravo dear sir. Masterfully done. Wow… this was amazing. I will sub and go through everything. Thank you dearly for this work.

[@danielclark-hughes692]

The quality of these stories cannot be denied. Have you considered uploading to podcast platforms?

[@moschbear]

listening to : The War of the Spider at this very moment , when i looked up from my work and saw that Fulgrim himself is on his way , i send a kiss in the air for Slaanesh .. cause my prays have been answered
