Blood of the Phoenix Lore

Blood of the Phoenix Lore
A dramatic reading of the lore for Warhammer 40K

[@wanabeguitarguy]

Never thought Id be invested in the Eldar to any degree but damn this is a cool story.

[@baldermort]

Its a great little book. OK, it should have been all in one place in the PA Rise of the Phoenix, but there ya go. Sebastian sent this bit to me to complete the tale. Thanks for listening, brother. : )

[@Cipri001]

@@bobafett7123 exactly! Couldn't agree more! I personally have two homebrewed Craftworlds with vast lore and stories. That's how much I love the Eldar.

[@grobertson85]

Listening to that Jain Zarr biography then seeing her Data sheet in 8th makes me cry.

[@baldermort]

I know. :( Sigh, One day we will get proper phoenix lords. It'll happen. Any time now. Any time. Right about now. Just a few more weeks to wait. Yep, they'll be good, annnnny time now.... :P

[@darko-man8549]

I really think Ynarri should have a tally like epidemius where the more dead models on the battlefield the more powerful their melee becomes. Like first is +1 strength, then re roll hits, then re roll wounds. And then they have a feel no pain save to account for their ability to resurrect, similar to SoBs and their prayer power.

[@SethScapesGaming]

This kind of lore reading is perfect. I really enjoyed this. Putting it on whilst painting and glancing up to see the images whilst taking in the lore. I would definitely enjoy seeing more on this!

[@baldermort]

Glad you liked it. You should enjoy tonight then. :) Thanks for listening. :)

Yet another classic, you really do these legends justice, I listen to them as I prepare my next army for battle.

[@baldermort]

Anything in the Psychic Awakening are just adaptions of the books flat. I feel uncomfortable doing that now, but I;ve started so I'll finish I guess. Glad you enjoyed them though. :)

[@PolyKakosGiaToTipota]

You are the best thing to have happened in lore related channels in a long while! Can't wait for the Aaangrooon video. Cheers!

[@baldermort]

PolyKakosGiaToTipota thanks a billion for that! There’s a lot of very strong sites out there. Ones I adore myself. I just try to put on more glitz. I sincerely hope you’ve seen World Eaters introduction if you love The mighty red angel, Angron. I’ll get to him. Have no doubt. It may be a little while, but I’ll get to him. Thanks for watching. ;).

I know you recently asked what models we've purchased with your inspiration. I am painting my second Jain Zar with a red ribbon. With your masterful portrayal of the lore in my ears

[@IDICBeer]

Thank you brother. I get all my music from with KZbin library - or Storyblocks. It’s a paid site for music. But I don’t reveal which I use due to copycating. Sorry. :(

As a writer who has been trying to get his work published for years, I understand the boxes that we get pushed into. Thank you for your work and time, I particularly enjoyed your video on the Thunder Warriors, as they and the Charcharodons are some of my favorite part of the Lore. My best to you brother.

[@PastorwithoutaPulpit]

What an amazing play list you've compiled here. As someone new to the Verse of 40k and Warhammer in general this was both entertaining and enlightening. I've only recently begun to delve into all things Warhammer and finding this channel has been one of my greatest discoveries. So very well done, now I must temper my exuberance and try to slow my consumption of the content but highly doubt I will. So please keep bringing this content to us and I for one will happily keep watching...

Still great work. A few audio and narration hickups but still great work. I really hope this channel grows. I love your narrations. Also I do some hand at writing. And I have an idea for an iron hands story.

[@baldermort]

NotKnightBean hi bean. Alas, when you are ‘too close’ to a tract you miss things. Sigh. I tend to enjoy reading my own work out. I only did this one as Max sent it to me. It seemed right to complete the story. I also had a thumping headache throughout. It didn’t help. But! I am getting a new microphone and really trying to up the game. I can only try. :). Larger numbers would be nice, but few like to try new lore channels. It’ll be slow. :).

[@baldermort]

NotKnightBean ah! Thank you for watching, as always. If you do have a script you want me to try them send it over. I’m on Facebook. So send it there. I can see if I can sneak it in. :).

When do we get the Vect video?

[@jakebaczik7785]

Space elves be like aurthurian drama, with MacBeth flavor

[@aecides3203]

Serious question from a noob to the new lore: If Yvraine gets murdered, can't the God of Death just pop her back again? I'm assuming there's some kind of caveat/limitation but since I don't know what it is it seems, to me, that the only characters who need worry about death less than her are Perpetuals.

[@kevinishki]

Where is the video about vect?

[@baldermort]

I was writing it and awaiting a bit more information, got sidetracked, put it back on the last - then **Bang** someone else did a huge one on him. Sigh. It happens. I do still want to do Vect, but now have to leave it a little while. :( Nuts. Sorry, brother Kev.

So the god of death wishes Drazhar back

[@MrSpeedy29]

So is Drazhar a female now? Or will the spirit in the Armor alter her to a male? Either way, I thought it super lame that they killed him in this way. Some sort of trap or misdirection would have been better suited. His combat skills are way too insane for him to lose in a straight up fight, even if it was more like a 1 vs 2 due to the extra power Jain had.

[@prettycoolguy3206]

In a way he was mislead. He was prepared to fight another Phoenix Lord in single combat, but didn't know she also had the power of Ynnead buffing her until he was unprepared and outmatched.

[@DeltaHouseStudios]

I despise howling banshees thanks to playing Dawn of War on the hardest difficulty. Due to my hate of Eldar, I buy Eldar models just so can cut them up and add them as slain enemies on my Blood Angels bases. (All in good fun still of course)

[@user-lc4xh7ts7h]

Gods in fantasy stories are more fascinating to me than the standard God stories in traditional religion. Whether in Warhammer 40k or other fantasy stories. They give me an introspection on faith and beleif, and reality. In the fantasy stories, I'm writing. I have a rule when it comes to Gods and that is. Whether a pantheon of Gods or a universal Mono God. There are three beings that have the capability in killing Gods. One is this race of warrior God Slayers that I'm writing and the other two are Wizards and Dragons. I really like the concept of if you give a Wizard enough time to learn and understand the ins and outs of creation and reality for tens of millions of years, and if you give a Dragon enough time to age. They too are capable of tackling Gods. I love Dragons and Wizards I think they are the most awesome beings in fantasy. I am definitely not a fan of the Genesis story where Yahweh gives the rock bottom and stone-cold stunner to the Leviathon Dragon. I just love Dragons so much I find it a great sin to murder one. So the way I perceive Dragons is the older they get the bigger and more powerful they get. The same thing applies to Wizards to an extent but their power upgrades are different. They mostly obtain their power through obtaining knowledge. So if you have a Dragon that is billions or trillions of years old. That Dragon will be much larger than a planet and could definitely hurt or even kill a Mono God like Yahweh. Or if you have a Wizard studying to understand all realities from the microscopic to the cosmically big for hundreds of thousands of years or even millions. Then that Wizard can definitely take down a god like Zeus. Another rule I have for both Wizards and Dragons is their wisdom is just as mighty as their power.

[@baldermort]

91481 H2 I know what you mean. I ran a RPG game for about 4 years where everyone was actually a child of a god, hidden in humanity due to the war. Angels and Daemons were wiping every other ‘house’ of gods (read, pantheon) out. It was a corking laugh. :). I hope the writing goes well. Do remember to give them all a weakness. Just makes wizards or dragons more fun. Yep, I play a wizard in RPGs if I ever get the chance to actually play. Which isn’t often. I get GMing duty all the time. :(. Moan moan. Lol. :).
