Honestly Grimaldus getting over himself and putting the Imperium before his own glory, and the relics and trophies the People of Helsreach protected and earned in battle with the Green Tide, over his chapters 'relic protections' was a masterful story

[@codybates2419]

I absolutely think we need more Grimaldus focused stories. He is just such a force of will. Definitely want to see him on the more matured role after reading Helsreach and his progression after the Celestial Lions Chapter Master being killed by the inquisition.

[@viridisxiv766]

grimaldus was proud, too proud to accept a humble station. helbrecht taught him humility by humbling him with an appointment to a station that he deemed to be beneath him despite the "promotion" to reclusiarch. at the end of the story he has learned that humility and is finally ready to do his duty. it was a spiritual purge for him that makes for a fantastic character arc.

[@R3VeLatioN]

There is literally nothing more I love to follow than the black templars

[@vonkug]

On Armaggeddon, Hellbrecht threw him away. An untried, new Reclusiarch. Or did he? Perhaps he knew the void battle was already lost? And he needed a man on the ground with a HELL OF A LOT to prove?

[@MandoSki464]

Ulrik and Ragnar are another favorite duo that are an absolute joy to read together

[@unruly_ronin]

This Ulrik, what is his role to the Chapter Master? a librarian or chaplain or what?

[@MandoSki464]

@@unruly_ronin he’s the top wolf priest and mentor to both Logan grimnar and Ragnar Blackmane. He’s the one who’s always calling Ragnar the young king. A really good story with him and Blackmane is the Space marine conquest Ragnar novel by Aaron Demski Bowden or at least I liked the book

[@Ultramar565]

This is a beautiful narration yet again showing how badass the characters in the world of warhammer 40k are.

[@cj4857]

Commisar Ciaphus Cain and Gunner 1st class Ferik Jurgen!!!! Heroes of the Imperium!!!!

[@Cmdtheartist]

Big giant stories involving millions, small upclose stories involving a handful. All of it, terrific.

[@mikemoore2791]

I would absolutely love a meeting of Grimaldus and Dante. Just a conversation between the two. One having almost lost it all after such a span of service, the other his almost zealot like faith and learning humility. One wanting the release of death, but being denied, and continuing service as a primaris, the other his brothers not accepting this perceived affront to the Emperors work.

[@Myztek26]

I feel like there are many space marine chapters that have no problem fighting the inquisition.

[@gamingborger]

the space wolves and dark angels both i know have at one time or another

[@knightblade0188]

@@gamingborgerpretty sure the blood angels as well

[@riktor3005]

But he did die upon Armageddon, as a new man was born from the ashes of hive Helsreach.

[@michaelmacdonald8656]

Trooper Andre in Hellsreach and Grimaldus. Beaquin and eisenhorn is a tricky one

[@ravenniwolvarious8801]

Heroic pairing for me was Pendro Kantor and Captain Cortez. They were opposites but they completed each other and made great reading. Helsreach was an incredible read and one of my all time favourites.

[@Just_Pele]

On pure power and will? None top post-Primaris Dante and Mephiston. Mephiston is insanely gifted and tough, he has near-Primarch level power. Sure, on the low-end of the Primarchs, but still...

[@unruly_ronin]

I've been sleeping on their relationship ngl. I remember going through that first bit of Grimaldus being forced to stay on Armageddon. Bruh I couldn't even understand what was going on beyond the actual words themselves. And sped past it to go to the action. Anyway Rho explains it so well.

[@viridisxiv766]

i will die on this world, i will die on armageddon.

[@TheFaulkned]

They are a pretty dynamic duo. I think they could give Dante and Mephiston a run for their money.

[@stingblademaster]

Why would chapters of the same bloodline be “cousins”. They’re still literal siblings of the same Primarch? Cousin would make sense for different bloodlines I would think

[@seelenverkaufer4861]

I've always thought the same thing.

[@kimmogensen4888]

Aaron Dembski-Bowden is really good at making characters, both traitors and loyalists. Good story’s are about characters with flaws that has to fight to overcome both themselves and an external enemy.

[@JackLarsen-rp9qj]

Love the content Rho!

[@johnnieschatz693]

Great video!! The Best Chapter!!

[@MRsolidcolor]

HELBRECHT - "Grimaldus: Die Well"

[@julienb4036]

So happy Grimaldus has stopped acting like a spoil brat and more like a crusader of the Templars. Helbrecht is awesome throughout and actually you can see his reactions to Grinaldus' outburst in one of the short stories. So much more focused on the chapter than self pity and glory

[@OldGoat-cw8he]

Two VERY strong, alpha male personalities, take time to find their rhythm. But when that bond is made it is unbreakable and life changing.

[@jo_ken]

1:05 Strongest partner pair for heroes of the imperium Mephiston + Dante, easy. My favorite though Kantor + Cortez.

[@jacksonkromer2900]

Ridiculously based comment

[@littleolghostly]

Lord Hellblade & Cortez the Immortal

[@cj4857]

Cain and Jurgen!!!

[@tompardi8876]

These 2 didn’t always see eye to eye. Armageddon am I right.

[@c4ns3r53]

It wasnt the Celestial Lions? Not Celestial Lights. Grimaldus fought along side the supposed last meme er if that chapter, Ekebe Dubaku.

[@gamingborger]

the reclusiarch is the spirit of the chapter. i see helbrecht leaving grimaldus on helsreach as a real test of that spirit. can he carry the burden of the spirit of the entire chapter on his shoulders? helsreach proven he can
