@@baldermort •nods• that sounds about right. In that case, I’ll just have to bookmark your KZbin channel and click on it periodically 😏 I kind of do already; often while cleaning, I will search and re-listen to “The Longest Second” (all parts of course) or The Thaddeus and Boy Series.

[@ryanedgerton1982]

I never would've imagined someone describing the Ruinous Powers as akin to discarded chewing gum... but after hearing you explain it, the parallel is staggeringly accurate. Fantastic word-smithing as ever, Baldemort!

This channel is where i direct people who want the ambiance of the 40k universe when they ask me what its all about. So many varied tones that together form a symphony

[@TheSiladhiel]

Indeed. he is legit one of the best. As another legend would say... the cream rises to the top , lmfao. Thing i love about Boldemort, is that he is one of the best at presenting the actual setting. But he IS the best when it comes to presenting his own fan fiction as if it were canon. One of his fan fict Chars, is legit one of my favorite 40K Chars. Second only to one actual Canon char of that race. And its also the only fan fict char i can stand in any IP.

[@mikehawkisb1g]

​​@@TheSiladhiel 100% This is the ONLY fan fic/custom made chapter stuff I can stand, because Mr Baldermort actually puts some decent thought and nuance into these characters and factions unlike people making yet another custom chapter thats from the cursed founding with 'unknown' (traitor) geneseed and a super duper unique and totally not awful on the eyes paint scheme, huge yawn.

[@hansstrudel9614]

@@damnationdan5253 you say that as if other factions like the nids and necrons aren’t even more busted. The setting must be in perpetual equilibrium and general stagnancy or there simply would not be a game. If someone wins, that means everyone else loses. Oops, the Tyranids just ate craftworld ulthwe, kick rocks eldrad fans he’s dead now you can’t play him. Oops, the nids just devastated Baal so utterly that there were zero survivors and now you can’t play blood angels anymore. GW has stacked the deck so heavily against the Imperium that now they’re desperately trying to rectify that by making the other factions lick windows and huff model glue to even the odds.

There's clearly need for more orky stuff in the light of the great blessings that Gork and Mork this week bestowed upon their followers 😁.

And all the folk that was dancing around the golden coneheads fell silent. 😇

Hi again, Baldermort! I just finished your video and... What a conclusion! I don't want to spoil it for anyone here. I just want to say that I strongly agree with your conclusion about the dark gods. It was a very funny but also poignant illustration. Thank you so much for providing your fascinating take on dark crusades given in your ever inimitable style.

5:45, This Alpha Legion warband sounds like "The Faceless" Cell from the book Harrowmaster. The Faceless are very old school, down to still using surgery to all look like the closest they can to and still refers to thier leader as Alpharius, and specialise in infiltration, espionse, and clandestine destabilasation operations. I wonder if Baldermort's Alpha Legion warband here is a nod to them?

Have you ever seen the Primaris Sons of Horus? Imagine: if Horus Lupercal and Legion (except Abaddon and followers of course) had remained Loyalists (thus perhaps helping by defending Terra), could Alpharius have been the new leader of the rebellion (still embracing Slaanesh), of the fact that he is actually the first one found? The Alpharius Heresy, how does it sound? Maybe even Abaddon himself (the Abaddon Heresy)!
