@@Baldermort i'm sorry but i call b.s on the that! i'm not educated, cultured or clever, i even google the correct spelling for half the words i write here but i am damn near certain you have some sort of performance art or theatrical drama background. if you are just a forklift driver winging it in your bedroom on your day off or something... nope, not even going to entertain the idea!

[@Baldermort]

@@banneduser5187 sorry, Beefy, but sometimes reality is weirder than fiction. 1. I have been roleplayings since I was 8. Thats over 4 decades of doing silly voices and getting into character as we never spoke out of character unless we had a question of the GM (usually me - sigh) or were describing. So, in that regard I guess you are right. 2. Nope. I never did drama and never did am dram or anything else. If I did - from what other people are saying - wouldn;t I be doing voice overs and other cool stuff and making a living out of it. 3. I worked a lot of phone jobs., I learnt to use my voice to calm people down and get the best out of them when I could (worked in Adult Social Care) so its a kind of experience, but certainly not that you think again. 4. Yep, people told me to do voice work for about 2 decades and I just shrugged and went 'can't. I'd fail' as I have very little confidence and less faith in myself. Grew up in an inner city, so the usual deprivation of expectation bla bla thing happened I guess. I just never believed in myself. 5. You can tell from my first few videos how much I have learnt and how little I knew. Seriously, go check out my first lore bits -prognostications. It sucked so badly there is no way I could be anything more than an enthusiastic amateur. 6. I got made redundant. So I learnt some video stuff, (not easy) and gave it a whirl. I am still not having a great time in work or finding a better job. Despite how I may sound, I am just like everyone else and trying to have some fun, entertain a little and - if I am totally honest - get some money. I am broke. So why not try to monetise the only thing I am good at, explaining weird stuff? Sorry if you think I am a charlatan. My vocabulary is good as I am a nerd. My voice I have explained. If you are that uncertain then its not too difficult to work out who I am. I would rather people didn;t as I want to stay anonymous. But its pretty obvious. Then anyone could stalk me and find out. If you really think I am an actor - why would I not be doing straight book readings and actually earning a crust? As it is I am considering it due to the very generous advice from people here on the guide. God knows I could do with the money just to cover the bills. Because if not? If I fail at that? Its back to an office as an admin. or wiping butts. As that is all I have on paper. :(

@@SmokerX91 Tbf it depends on the Night Lord. Even the Night Lords Omnibus by Dembski (sp?) had insane degenerates juxtaposed against the more level-headed of the old legion.

[@SmokerX91]

@@caspiancauser2491 Sure, but those insane degenerates are present in every legion and just a consequence of chaos exposure. If you read all Night Lords novels available, even the ones not from Aaron Dembski Bowden, it clearly becomes apparent that they are strictly completely opposed to this kind of behaviour. In the current lore it's even gone as far that they are reunited as a full legion having excised these "corrupted" elements that do not follow their philosophy. I then feel that portraying a character that is just your run-of-the-mill chaos addled maniac is completely off the mark when trying to introduce the night lords faction to people that do not know it. Nothing in the roleplay had any specific significance to night lords, he might as well have been doing a reading for a fully corrupted emperor's children marine. Just hiding and scaring & torturing humans does NOT make a night lord. Their campaign of vengeance against the imperium, their ruthless utilitarianism and their philosophy of dark justice do.

Not only that. This also shows a misconception that alot of people have about Chaos turned chapters. Which is, even if you impress them and show off valuable skills.

andrew niehoff we’ll agree to disagree. I think that lords are bad guys, without any redeeming features. None. Like most chaos factions. Which is what makes them so fun to play or play against. :). But Tsu just wrote a treatise on how to win confrontations - is what I disagree with. I see no higher purpose or morality in the treatise.

Now I LOOOOVE this! Love it! Your own army, your own story, your own take on things. Damn - made my day. Ave Dominus Nox! :) Thanks for listening, brother. :)

[@ConjoinerGlass]

I like the idea the caracdons are a nightblord successor chapter semi loyal I think at least.

[@klaiken989]

This was crazy awesome! Especially the ominous, foreboding badass music in the background. Really helps illustrate the terror of Chaos and those that have fallen to it.

[@VedaRa501]

That was to best lore reading. It really showed the fear and terror of the Night Lords.

[@Baldermort]

Thanks Veda. :) I am trying to put in a bit more 'zing' to get people even more into the lore and feel of this fantastic setting. Thanks for joining me on this one. It is very appreciated indeed. :)

[@KokayMate]

Absolutely your best performance yet!!! Thank you brother!

[@1985doz]

Fantastic voice acting, I would love to hear more from the Night Lords either in the form of Lore or Stories. Carry on the AMAZING WORK!!!

[@hildus7222]

I still find this as one of the most enrapturing videos on your channel, even years later. Kudos to you, it is perfect.

[@johndoe5432]

Holy shit this is some incredible voice acting, you deserve many, many more subscribers and views.

[@TheDAHAKADUDE]

I keep coming back to this video, somehow you captured the essence of the Night Lords with your voice acting, the intensity you had while performing shows how much you love the Warhammer 40k lore, a lot more people should know of your channel. Looking forward to more of your work.

[@wenceslaus.draconistarum]

Brilliant! If I wasn't a true son of the Emperor, I might have become a Night Lord.

[@Baldermort]

Heh. Variety is the spice of life! :)

[@aunderiskerensky2304]

lol the intro to this was one of your finest. my god. i was half giggling along, half nervous laughing that i found it so amusing. dark my guy, very dark. well done. i bet mrs. balde was in the other room just shaking her head like... "what... in the hell is he doing now? nope... not going in there. nope nope nope."

[@MiniWarMutt]

Absolutely AMAZING!!! The best channel to have on while painting the grey minis!!! Thank you so much! 👍👍👍

[@Baldermort]

Thanks AtomicD. Glad it makes the painting time go smoother. Thank for watching! :)

[@josephskiles]

I've watched this over 30 times and get better every time

[@fikretkomurcu7161]

the sense of hatred and spite i feel towards you superseed anything right now... lol. this is so well read. kudos

[@PatienceKiss]

You deserve some sort of acting award for that laugh. Can't help but smile every time I hear it

[@Baldermort]

It actually hurts my head to do it. Physically. Veins pop and eyes hurt. So I try to avoid it. ;)

[@henryviiifake8244]

*Inquisition:* "The Emperor protects." *Emperor:* "You guys know I _did_ create the Nightlords, right?" *The whole Imperium:* 🤔😐... 🙃

[@bodricthered]

The Emperor protects you from making the wrong choice, don't make him send the eighth...

[@SRTifiable]

I stumbled upon your channel a couple weeks ago and have had your videos on non-stop. The Rogal Dorn series gave me goosebumps and nearly drew tears by the time it was done. This...this gives me goosebumps of a whole other kind. Thank you, for sharing your gifts with the rest of us.

[@qigonglungz]

Yes yes yes... Third listen... You complete the circle of 40K loremasters... What you have added to mix is much needed... I don't know how long it took you to find your presentation groove but you need to study yourself stick to this format! You filled a gap in the KZbin 40K lore group that is irreplaceable. A lot of it is the voice but I pretty much seen them all, I can see your format a bit. It's awesome and never dull... Breaking off into narrative between lore dialogue has great timing... Before it gets dull you back into Voice Acting thats pretty impeccable... Also... Of all the lore vid channels, you are the first to reply, respond, and advice.... That means a lot... Keep it up Baldermorts, so far so good... When I get up and running your comments will not be forgotten battle brother....

[@qigonglungz]

Oh... And here's what happened to Arch Magos Biologis Vile.... LoL kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5uYYoyadr5ohdk

[@Baldermort]

James Crawley battle brother, if I ever start an ad mech army - you KNOW who is going to be leading it. That character is epic. :).

[@qigonglungz]

@@Baldermort The Omnissiah got your back fam... LmaO

[@robertmathews7971]

Working on my first Night Lords model tonight, happy to re-listen to this episode in the background. I like what you do, Baldsman.

[@nerf.zombiemikula1394]

Lord Baldemort i here by humbly recomend that {when you do lore about them} you do Emperor's Children in a simylar style. i think it would be a very good fit. {sorry for my grammar if there are any mistakes}

[@skullwhip7910]

Baldermort once more you nail it this is dark and disturbing the way 40k and night lords should be your voice acting is on target as always listening to a 40k audiobook last night the guy reading it was sending me to sleep but hey i am only a punter and all you guys n girls who read these for our entertainment you do this out of your own time so bravo to you all you bring the 40k universe to life were for years 40k was all text and still life and its great to see and hear it in motion 👍

[@roybrown7717]

Jesus Christ. I need to go pray after that intro 🤣

[@tunguskalumberjack9987]

Ohh, you are a sick, sick man- and I sooo love it! Absolutely brilliant, my friend- this was a bit of genius.

[@punkrockhotdog]

Love the voice acting so cool

[@postonisk]

Wow dude, I’ve listened to hours and days worth the of 40k content on KZbin. I just came across this video and and your channel. This is far and above the absolute best 40k video on KZbin I’ve every seen. Instantly subscribed.

[@ScandinavianHeretic]

I am quite thrilled by your talent sir, this is a superior experience in learning further detail about WH40K when compared to other sources - Well done! Secondly, I understand this is fan work and it is impressive, but I hope you find the confidence to do freelance work or grow your channel sufficiently that you achieve the same thing, you deserve it.

[@stevencarlson5319]

We need more of this Darkness, please sustain us with more of this beautiful Darkness. "Ave Dominus Nox".

[@danivegh440]

i keep coming back to this cos it is just soooooo good!!! love the night lords and you captured it perfectly! should really consider voice acting mate!

[@jarkomo]

Fuck.... That intro was extremely terrifying. Great Work!
