Dear gentle listeners, well, I can only hope this was worth the wait. It did take an inordinate amount of time to put together and I have had zero time off and long days doing it. Just to explain that there may just be light bites for the next week. I sincerely hope you enjoy the show.

[@DeusExMachina10001]

I'm gonna be that guy and say no. Rogal would have been a poor Lord Commander of the current Imperium compared to Guilliman. Guilliman has the greater grand strategic capabilities (he organized the whole, successful, Indomitus Crusade), is a better politician (which despite the connotations attached to the word is absolutely necessary in the current Imperium, the Hexarchy is a good example of that), and he isn't a complete social retard. Dorn is an amazing character but he has a niche, and that niche is as a soldier.

[@joshuablake4595]

The Ultramarines, so proud and bombastic whenever reciting both their chapter and Primarchs glories and achievements word for word. But as for the Sons of Dorn himself, the Imperial Fists, true glory comes from the doing of the action, not its constant reciting.

“Long before the primarch of the Ultramarines, the honoured Roboute Guilliman, formulated the Codex Astartes, the battle-brothers of the VII Space Marine Legion were governed by traditions of honour and discipline handed down from the most ancient traditions of Terra itself. Those first Imperial Fists revered the purity of the blade, and regarded the sword as the noblest of all weapons. Founded on Terra itself, the VII Legion inherited from the ancient Terran warrior-cults a tradition of honour duels, ritual combats that bound brothers together through the giving and receiving of honour.” ‘I’d rather have blood on my hands than book-ink.’ - Rogal Dorn “Pain is a lesson that the universe teaches us. Pain is the preserver from injury. Pain perpetuates our lives. Pain is the healing, purifying scalpel of our souls. Pain is the wine of communion with heroes. Pain is the alembic which transmutes mere mortal into immortal.” - Imperial Fist’s Legion/Chapter - Liturgy of Pain.” ‘Camouflage is the colour of cowardice.’ - Rogal Dorn Suscipiat Imperator sacrificium nostrum.

I really needed this extra massive video for my extra massive misery. I don't think I've ever heard of a single long time heavy usage adict just getting clean.

@@tanksinatra3968 It is painfully tragic , can you just imagine if the Imperial fists and the Iron Warriors could have been folded together , and used in tandem, each layering their strengths to the other....by gods imagine Cadia built and fortified by Perterabo AND Dorn ....Chaos would literally have just spent 10,000 years digging a hole out the other end of the Eye of Terror with table spoons rather than try and get through the Cadian gate

[@jeffhreid]

Baldemort, these simple hard working folk are an inspiration. A touching story still grim and dark but encouraging. Bravo!

[@Jesters-Jinx]

I love ya Baldermort, don't ever stop giving us your imagination. You're a great part of this community.

[@baldermort]

Thanks brother. Hoping to be as active this year as last, as long as I can last. Lol. .). Happy new year brother Olsson. :)

[@ottiv1125]

I love the imperial fists, I love Baldermort Match made in heaven

[@matthewellington7263]

Fortify positions! The video isn’t even out yet but I’m so happy that this is here

[@TheShadowen1]

Baldermort is the Emperors best and most diligent of scribes. As the commissar directs me to reflect on the Emperor and my failing to him Baldermort always has teachings to guide me to greater reverence and faith in the most golden and glorious of Gods!!! THE EMPEROR PROTECTS!!!

[@samrowland5208]

Seriously impressive. Having watched it from start to finish, I can see how much work went into creating this awesome story. Amazing work!

[@Its-Just-Zip]

Over an hour of Baldermort? Yes please. This was well worth the wait, and I'm not even done watching yet. May the Emperor gaze upon your toil and be pleased

Salamanders #3 walks into the room: "Hey, what are you two laughing about so much?" Salamanders #1 wipes the tears from his face and tries to catch his breath after such boisterous laughter: "Sorry Brother, we were just learning about the 'pain glove' and 'simulated fires'!"

[@thetalantonx]

Coming back to this video again, it is a work of art and a masterclass on how to blend existing wisdom, the state of the game, unique narrative, and the voice acting talents of several pillars of our community. Truly beautiful.

[@atomichamsterwheel7376]

As always the lore is told with passion worthy of the black library. Never has the 40k universe seemed so alive

[@flare9757]

Ohhohoh Baldermort, you outdid yourself! I *love* it!

[@matthewhalsan6459]

This reminds me of the rogal dorn triology which just makes my heart swell, as that was an amazing trilogy!

[@patrickmcabee123]

I think this is one of the most sincere episodes you’ve produced, you my friend have such a unique view concerning this wonderful...{( IP ) hobby,} ...such fun. Thanks my Bud. .....Keep playin’, Playa’..!!!

[@vinnypopadop]

Once again baldermort using the son of dorn to fortify his position as best lore channel on KZbin. Not just 40k but of all lore channels.

[@LMR041082]

Balders. You are amazing. I will watch this many, many times. Thank you for this wonderful piece of work. Spectacular. Wonderful. Amazing.

[@AnIdiotsLantern]

This content is mind blowing BEFORE it’s made clear that Baldermort WRITES all this. This story is original! He doesn’t just record audiobooks he writes… books. And performs them! This is amazing.

[@daylightwall5300]

I have been looking forward to this! LET US FORTIFY THIS POSITION FOR THE EMPEROR!!!

[@passgo8507]

The content you provide is some of the best in KZbin history. Thank you for enriching our lives with your work and dedication.

[@vhcsPT]

For the Emperor! I will fortify the dining room after this video.

[@battlemountainforge3063]

Holy shit keep it up. This is your best one yet.

[@johnnymorgan9084]

Big fan of Luetin, Wolf Lord Rho & Aborder Prince but you are on another level Baldemort! This & the Rogal Dorn Praetorian of Terra trilogy (closely followed by Szareks Silent King history) are without a doubt for me, the three most engrossing and addictive 40k lore stories I've heard, listened to them all several times and each time I am still astonished by your attention to detail, work ethic and masterfully inspiring renditions.. thank you so much for the huge amount of work you have put in to make them so enjoyable!

[@piotrd.4850]

Being biased - "Power Armour" forever.

[@exponenttie9707]

This is going to be as well made as the imperial palace on Terra

[@kealydan]

Amazing, the work that goes into these is mind-blowing. The emperor protects and Baldermort narrates!

[@KevinOMalleyisonlysmallreally]

I really hope you give all the other chapters and primarchs you've given Dorn and the imperial fists. These have been so engrossing for someone who is interested in 40k lore but doesn't play the game.

[@IBMobius]

Only started watching you recently but you are already my top lore channel, followed by border prince, keep up the great work.

[@Crazyollie123]

God, these videos make me want another space marine video game. Imagine what could be done with today's technology. Open world's of warfare. Vehicles. Multiple chapters. Acquiring new weapons and armour as you make you way up the ranks. Of course that will never happen because most Devs seem to hate 40k for some reason.

[@shaq4595]

The reason is probably games workshop charging exorbitant royalties

[@Crazyollie123]

@@shaq4595 probably lol.

"Primarch, Progenitor - To your glory, and the glory of Him on Earth" Great video ! Honours greatly the first 40k army that I collect.

[@kealydan]

Some read off of Wikipedia, while uncle Baldermort CREATES new lore, how inspiring

[@bluecat4802]

Hands down the best 40k vid ever made. I don’t care what anyone says

[@M2Brad]

Holy Bolter SPAM! I cannot wait for this! I don't know If there's been any hinted video I've been more hyped for than this. BalderLORD, lay unto thou your knowledge of the grandest fisting this galaxy has needed! WOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Wow you really out did yourself lord Baldermort! 10 out of 10, well done!

Sir Baldermort, you have outdone yourself. I sat immersed in the world of your storytelling and loving the lore of one of my favorite Chapters/Legions in 40K. A special Shout out to those who helped you with their voices. Thank you for helping Sir Baldermort tell a truelly epic tale.

[@MrMichaelnator]

I’ve listened to this so many times while assembling my imperial fists god your voice is so soothing

[@Cynocehali]

The song playing when imperial fists are introduced reminds me of a final stand against the iron warriors

[@nicolasgregson8205]

I cannot believe I missed this video somehow. This was an astounding video. I hope that when you are able to do a story on your favorite space marine chapter and legion that you can throw yourself into it with just as much vigor as this video. Thank you for your wonderful efforts!!!!!

[@thebro6204]

I was sent this by a friend. And I was not disappointed. This is top quality 👌
