Really wish they’d do more with Magnus. His story is great. He was completely loyal, honourable (though arrogant) and then got totally screwed over. Now he’s been reduced to a moustache twirling one dimensional villain.

[@baldermort]

I am always torn with the primarchs. They are supposed to be genius level intelligence, but are written like dolts. I mean real idiots. I never understand why. :( So I assume that they have undercurrents to them that may not always be immediately stated by the BL. Its the only way I can compromise their professed abilities against their portrayal. Soooo strange. :) I personally like to think that Magnus died and this is just a demon. Its the only way I can get round his utter change. But then, I still have many books to read. I just don;t get the time while running the site. Sigh. Bum. Thanks for listening and taking the time out to discuss, brother Carl. Always an honour to have you on the site. :)

To be an Adeptus Astartes is sacrifice, to be a Grey Knight, is sacrifice made flesh, it is only fitting and right, that the first chapter should aid the last chapter, in the darkest hour. The clock might be chiming towards 12, and all might fall to darkness, but the angels of the emperor will keep the light shining for as long as there is hope. For it is in darkness, that light is born.. May we keep a silent vigil for our lost brethren, and make sure they find their way to the right side of the Emperor!

The only thing stopping the Emperor from full accension is the corpse throne. The Legion of the Damned are simply his daemons manifested by his will to protect humanity. The warp entities manifesting the hopes and dreams of humanity rather than those negative emotions embodied by the chaos daemons.

[@boutinpowered8373]

Ritual of the Damned and Faith and Fury really define the Psychic Awakening. Really shows the possibilities and dangers of human psykers. The other books just feel like fillers in comparison. Greater Good we already know is in it's own little bubble. Have some hope that Orks will change that due to the way their abilities work. The size of their forces right now are the biggest the've been since 32k. Then the Necrons and their tech that fights warp tears would obviously be able to be brought up. Makes for a good final book.

[@baldermort]

All this Warhammer40k art makes me yearn for a new Video Game that is like Space Marine. With PS5 and XBOX Series X coming out soon it gives me hopes that GW will give out a contract to a studio that will make a next-gen console game that is like Space Marine, but with updated moves, graphics, hard as hell bosses, and playstyles. One can only imagine a three campaign game where you get to play as Elder, Tau, and Space Marine, and each character have their own unique skills and playstyles. Imagine playing a Grey Knight where you get to play a Dark Angel where you lay the smackdown on Demons of the Warp and fight Magnus as a boss fight in the same epic fight Guilliman did to Magnus. Where you get your balance of ranged combat and insane balls to the wall melee combat and mortal kombat style finishers. Or with Eldar, you get your Ninja Gaiden style fast and quick combat and have psychic spell casting moves. And for Tau, you would have to be a member of the Farsight Enclaves or there would not be a point to play the Tau. There you get ranged combat, battle mechs to pilot in order to smack Orcs and Tyranids around, and short swords and knives for assassination and stealth kill tactics. Make a hyped-up trailer that is 300 style and play the nine inch nails song Just like you imagined in the background and I would be there on day one to buy a game like that. One can only dream. The Space Marine game was such a great game it even gave me an idea for a 40k story. Where the story is about Space Marine who finds a powerful relic that was left behind from the old ones that will give the Chaos Gods the power to win in the great game and in the galaxy and so it was stolen by a corrupted traitor disciple of Korne who was ordered to steal it and deliver it to his God personally. The Space Marine goes on a quest to find this traitor that will ultimately lead him to betray imperium rules where he decides to ignore his officers and flies into the warp right into Slaaneesh's territory to make a deal with Slaanesh. In order to save the galaxy, the Space Marine has to damn his soul. And since Slaanesh is not a fan of Khorne it agrees to teleport the Space Marine to the traitor and bring the relic to it, but at the very end the Space Marine destroys the relic and escaping Slaanesh for the time being, but knowing that the imperium now sees him as a traitor and a heretic who will be coming for him, and the Legions of both Khorne and Slaanesh will be hunting for him soon. He escapes into Eldar territory to see if he can bribe them or do a favor for them in order to obtain a soul stone so he can save his soul from both Khorne and Slaanesh who will both be thirsting for his soul. Since GW is expanding its brand with new 40k animations on the way. Hopefully, this will give them the opportunity to get a studio to make a game like Space Marine. By the Emperor's will, let's hope it will be.

Glad to see you on the site again, brother H2. :) Indeed, those games are magnificent. My son played it a lot! I did not have the manual dexterity. I don;t play FPS much. :) Nice idea. :) It doesn;t make sense for them to invest in lots of expenditure when they can simply loan out their IP to game makers and have just pure revenue without expernditure first. But I would like more warhammer games. Still - whenever I get the rare day or two off - play TWWH. Fantastic game. :)

[@user-lc4xh7ts7h]

I have played the Total War WarHammer Games and they are fun to play it's just they have never given me the same amount of fun as Space Marine did. It's all about taste to me. Strategy Games like Total War were never really my cup of tea. I like playing a single player third-person action style games like God of War 4 or those Devil May Cry games. With Space Marine since it was a 3rd person action adventure game it gave me a more close up on the action and combat and satisfactory in combat controls. And that is what makes a game pay off well for me when you are close enough to see what they are doing and are controlling their move set in that sense, but Total War Warhammer is still fun to play. I'm not knocking it down either, I just wish GW will invest in more 3rd person style action games for both Warhammer Fantasy and 40k. I would love to see Malus Darkblade's story be told in a hack and slash game like in God of War 4, but like I said before. One can only dream.

New guy here, suggestion: make a playlist for psychic awakenig, it will make finding those videos on your channel easier.

I read the lore. I cant wait to see how this ark ends. Will a primarch will come back? What you think baldermort? You think we getting a loyal soun? Soon?great video btw baldermort like always. Games workshop hire this man as a voice actor...

[@baldermort]

Lord Crabby I have no idea anymore. I think 9th will drop and we’ll see a new Primarch then. If we are lucky. :) b

[@ghostwood9174]

Baldermort's Guide to Warhammer Honestly, as a GK player, the return of Kaldor is enough for me. Many forget the GK’s “primarch” is The Emperor himself and I don’t think many truly appreciate just how terrifying the depths of Kaldor’s martial, tactical, and psychic prowess are.

Brother Baldermort, it has become necessary for me to inform you that much to my surprise, and great elation, I have developed a most severe auditory addiction to your voice. You have become my literary lodestone, and I CAN NOT resist . . . .

[@baldermort]

Thank you for all of your kindness brother Artisan. ;).

[@thepatientartisan]

@@baldermort I'm only speaking from the heart sir. Well writren, and passionately presented prose are among the greatest of our treasures. As a teller of these tales, you have become the fire tender for the countless imaginations set ablaze with your offerings. I'm just happy to have ploddingly stumbled onto your channel. Always looking forward to the next one! Be well.

[@rick44451]

It's taken all day to listen to around work, but I will finish this wonderful video. Seriously dude. Give me a full audiobook

[@baldermort]

You honestly have no idea how long a full book would take. Hundreds of hours to do. I would have to quite the site. Not an option for me. Sorry, brother. But just these one hour long ones can take between 30-40 hours to create. You may think 'bullsh*t' but it really is not. Its a phenomenal amount of work. Mainly because I am crap on a computer, but even were a wizz, it would still take ages. :( Sorry.

Also they should called Dr Jones instead of Draigo hehe

[@thug4lyfe]

@@baldermort Sigh, I am not happy with the direction they are taking the story, subtly demonising the Tau to say they will fall into grimdark simply because the Imperium's side of the story is so grimdark.... :/

[@baldermort]

Bruce Zhou aye, I hear you. I think they are actually trying to take some flack off Tau players by adding that edge. The community does tend to bash on tau and it’s not nice. But think of it this way - with neighbours like the Imperium, Necrons and Nids - the effects are blind to make them more defensive. Say to yourself ‘but when we do prevail the greater good will win out!’ :). It’s all I got. :(.

OH, as with all the Psychic Awakening books - its just a read through. Its all GW! Good stuff eh? The Fallen? My gut tells me chaos undivided, but would need to research it properly. Interesting thought. :)

[@mattroxursoul]

I feel this would have been more interesting if Magnus had actually wanted to help all the pyskers who were willing to come. Instead of sacrificing the weak ones and stuff. After all by joining him they are turning on imperium either way.

In these darkest and most uncertain of times it is the Grey Knights who stand as the unmovable force as spoken in the Emperor’s own words: “they are the bulwark against the terror, they are my space marines, and they shall know no fear.”

God damn that was one hell of a story.

[@surtaandume_psykermystyk4010]

To say that The Emperor was wroth with Magnus, quite wroth indeed, after having spectacularly bolluxed up the Webway Project, by psychically smashing his way into and through the extradimensional realm, like a hysterical, telepathic Koolaid Man, would be an understatement of immense proportions. Thus, it is believed that The Emperor, in his righteous anger, delivered to Magnus a severe, pants-down, bare bottom, psychically augmented belt-whoopin. It was this final wounding of the Primarch's deepest pride that turned his heart towards Chaos. And he was then, forever after, known as Magnus the Red-arsed.

Good choices brother Scifi. Very good. I can see the psykers and strong stories are your thing. Bravo> :)
