The Damnation of Toreus I 40k Lore

[@Scholarslore]

As previously stated in the community post, the content using the old voice model has all been removed. I am in the process of reworking, and reproducing the old videos to be narrated with this new voice, and I hope that it retains the similar feeling of gravitas. To any who are curious, this new voice is not based upon a real person, it is a rather impressive model from Elevenlabs which I think is quite fitting for a narration purpose. In any case, thank you to any who were willing to give this a second chance, I hope that these videos continue to be entertaining despite the changes.

[@joshuaDstarks]

This one is a very, very decent alternative!

[@100kevinrules]

These are great as well! If you put the videos with the other voice somewhere more discreet I would gladly play for access👀

[@ZeraFlameheart]

I missed a bunch of the other ones so I'm glad you're reposting them. Can't wait to catch up!

[@phoenixrenamon4686]

For the purpose of narrating 40k lore, this one is actually extremely well fitting! Keep it up

[@2013Arcturus]

I was super confused for a second lmao. Annoying af that KZbin did that

[@Lastspright]

Even after (youtube) inquisitor raided the last class, I'm still enjoying your lecture. Don't give up!. :3

[@ColinGrym]

Let me buy you a drink to say thanks for the content, I'm glad you kept on going, and a lot of us fans are rooting for you.

[@Scholarslore]

Thank you

[@GreatAukEntertainment]

it is a damn shame that the grand archivist Attenborough had to retire, but this new guy is pretty good! what will you do with the older videos?

[@newnamesameperson397]

He was a heretic.

[@JackFrost008]

he is one of those "global warming" cultists...

[@austinhmmm9087]

It would be super cool if you could get a couple voices. A commisar, inquisitor, guardsman, ork, ect. Im sure the other Warhammer creators here would be happy to help you. Aborder Prince has the BEST commisar and inquisitor voices

[@abstractspaces8186]

Yes different voices for different topics narrated from different perspectives would be great.

[@reiteration6273]

It would be super cool to get a voice for each faction. Astartes, Mechanicus, Ork, Aeldari, etc.

[@LeDagron]

I'm a fan of ork lore. but you will definetely need subtitles for the entire video xD, and you need to put some work on how a ork talk. seems simple but i'm sure it got it's issues.

[@treanttrooper6349]

Heyy that's a cool idea!

[@cottage6988]

​@@LeDagronAgreed. Still...... Hearing Attenborough yell WAAAA never got old. Lol

[@wdro92]

I don't know if I'll stick around to be honest. The writing and presentation is still quite good. But the voice was the reason for me to binge these multiple times. I listened to them in bed before sleeping and the soft, calm and fragile voice made it perfect. This voice is to rigid, dominant and assertive I feel. But I'll definitely try to get into it for a few videos as I know the effort and love you put into this!

[@-Oddity]

I don't mind the voice change, I understand it had to be done. However its good to see that your writing is as amazing as ever.

[@youtubeofficial_]

I want to start off by saying that I am so glad that you haven't given up in spite of the recent setbacks. I absolutely love this channel and am in awe of your writing skills! That said, I have mixed feelings about the new voice which is what initially drew me to this channel. While the new voice is very much in keeping with the tone of 40k, I used these videos as a sleep aid. Having something to focus on while I drift off helps me immensely, and I'm sure I'm not the only person in this boat. The harshness of the new voice may be a bit hard to fall asleep to, but I will eagerly give it a shot. I hope it is possible to tone down the "harshness" (for lack of a better word) of the new voice and inject some of the Attenborough "gentleness" back in. Thank you for this channel and I hope you continue to write and create for many years to come. :)

[@lucasaquinodeassis6846]

You think this is harsh? I've already "test driven" this voice, so to speak, and it's just as good for sleeping. I never got the obsession with Attenborough's narration, and I like that it's more original now, though I'd like to see some other characters.

[@TheDruni]

I agree, altough i have yet to try sleeping to the new voice, i think it'll be fine. While i do miss Attenboroughs voice for its gentleness, as long as this new voice (or any other new voices) don't have sudden changes in intensity/pitch, i hope it'll be just as fine to sleep to. :)

[@bannanaboy8]

100% agree

[@Ny-kelCameron]

Ah man! Such a loss. Not too sure if it was due to probable copyright issues or just a personal choice by you, but Sir AI Attenborough voice brought some regalness and a sense of investigation to the topics of the Warhammer universe. Honestly, I'm not happy with the change.....but, the new voice has it's own grand presence I can get behind. Luckily I was able to download the audio for quite a few of the old videos, at least I still have something. God Emporer Speed Sir AI Attenborough!

[@ProjetJADM]

Copyright issues sadly. Tho the new voice is pretty good, sur it's not Attenborough, but it does the job, and the writing is still on point.

[@Ny-kelCameron]

@@ProjetJADM agreed.

[@werewolfducky3149]

would you happen to have the david servitor creation one?

[@hazalad]

The Attenborough voice was the cherry on top of good writing and clearly effort put into producing quality videos. Keep up the good work and people will keep watching.

[@alexstan414]

Attenborough's voice may have been great, but I'm ultimately happy that your channel and writing is still around. The voice can change, but if the content still endures then why should we complain. Keep it up man!

[@sgtpom]

Nothing can take away the annoyance for you of having to change voices but the writing is impeccable as always and this voice is great. Well done for not letting silly youtube rules get in the way of your excellent videos FOR THE EMPEROR!

[@antonackermann9620]

I'm gonna miss the old voice, but my sub isn't going anywhere. Your writing is top tier.

[@Techpriest1010]

So you're always a sub?

[@cottage6988]

​@@Techpriest1010Stop calling this man a sandwich! Lol

[@UGNAvalon]

@horuswasright To be fair, they said “my sub” not “my status as a sub”. So I guess this means they’ve always had a sub. 👀

[@antonackermann9620]

You fools. I was talking about my submarine.

[@cottage6988]

@@antonackermann9620 The one that imploded above the Titanic? Are you a ghost?! 😮

[@Daniel-nq6zu]

The attenborough videos were a legitimate sleeping pill, my only request is that the new voice maintain atleast some of the calm softness. This current voice sounds like the Crimson Chin

[@angry_zergling]

THE NEGA CHIN!

[@SpankzVonSpankington]

Thank you for not giving up. Your work is so much more than the voice. Keep trucking brother, you got loyal fans here. Between this channel and Lutin ill never struggle to sleep again :D

[@Lichborny]

Thanks!

[@Scholarslore]

Thank you

[@Tortle-Man]

Rough as this must be for you, know that your audience will stay with it. I’ll be watching your videos, even if they are reuploads of old ones with the new voice. The strength of this channels as always your strong writing talent and ambiance and no one can take that away from you.

[@mike12313]

I'm so glad to see you uploading again and so soon. It is a shame to see the old voice go, but that is solely to do with how renown that persons voice has become for documentaries. This new voice is really good! It has the right gravitas and feel to it. My main worry after reading the news about the old videos being deleted was whether you'd want to carry on with this or not, we're all grateful for the fact that you do! Hope you keep up the fantastic work!

[@trojanman315]

I LOVED beyond measure... your channel and videos, because it was top tier content for listening to while trying to fall asleep. I love the writing and I really do like this new voice, for what it is. But what it is not is a sleep inducing voice and that does indeed make me sad. New voice sounds like the imperium, which is awesome... but man listening to attenbro lul me to sleep with my favorite lore written in grade A+ fashion was... well it'll go down as memory now. Other channels have tried to do the same but they haven't even come close to your Attenbro perfection, it was truly 100% unmistakably believable and it will be missed gravely.

[@Nonplussed]

Ngl this new voice is much more forceful and powerful compared to Attenborough. Still very good job. The writing is what makes these videos stand out compared to the other lore videos on KZbin. Keep up the good work :)

[@joshuaDstarks]

It has that Attenborough-by-Warhammer reverb to it.

[@cottage6988]

​@@joshuaDstarksIts more of a refined WAAAAAAA!! NGL the Attenborough ork videos were my fave. Lol

[@771rules]

Just glad you’re back!

[@BarkingShark]

More videos like this about lesser known disasters/events on random planets would be perfect for future videos

[@FulloutPostal]

after a good bit of initial confusion, I found your community post... it's sad to see the old voice go, and while the new one is not quite as good (yet?), it'll do :)

[@sonoban]

sorry that you got a notice. you have a lot of fans. keep it up. new voice is fine.

[@Scholarslore]

Thank you

[@SakiniCZ]

The old voice will be missed, but if the stories remain strong as always, a bright future awaits you.

[@Qualic95]

I must say, and I mean this as a compliment in the best of ways, this new AI reminds me of Earl Boen and his introduction videos for the races of World of Warcraft. Even if I will dearly miss the Attenborough voice, I'm really liking this new voice. As others have said, it's the incredibly writing that really does it - more so than the voice.

[@be_quiet_and_drive]

Glad you're still doing this. Regardless of the voice. Its well put together. Keep it up!

[@daFUNKxx]

I will miss the attenborough's calm demeanour, but shall continue to support! Perhaps if you are to experiment with AI voices there is another 'old man's voice that would befit the role of aged scholar and Wiseman? I feel the current is too young if that makes sense?

[@MetalFox619]

This new voice is pretty good for narration. I like it a lot! Keep it up!

[@paulkielty8385]

Your scriptwriting proves to be the real driving force behind this channel, brother.

[@AKingInYellow]

Writing has always been good. This voice you are using now still carries that aged, sagely feeling. It may not be Attenhammer, but its still great to listento this.

[@buddyguy4723]

Im curious if the copyright claim came from Attenborough himself or from the BBC. You wouldn't think a voice could be copyright. I wonder if it will apply to people doing impressions eventually.

[@Demo4356]

I genuinely look forward to your videos dude.

[@damienruzco]

I was a little confused for a minute as to why I was subscribed to a channel with no videos along with 125k other people… Saw you community post though sorry to hear that

[@MagosFriday]

Honestly, this kind of reminds me of the storybook narrator’s voice in Treasure Planet! Really awesome!

[@14-KaratHomer]

Thank you for continuing.

[@Scholarslore]

Thank you

[@samueltronea3888]

This AI is amazing! This is more than a worthy successor to the previous one. Thank you for continuing your wonderful work!

[@hannibalb8276]

This new voice is pretty good; and besides, if you find a better one or want to alter or improve this one you can just.. do it. I guess that's the benefit of using AI voice models ;) Let us never forget, it's the high quality of the writing that fundamentally makes this channel's content so amazing. Just keep putting out incredible content like this md the people will come, it could be Gilbert Godfrey reading the script and people would still check it out lol

[@loszhor]

Brutal. Love it!

[@RupertBreheny]

So sorry you had the take down. As a big fan of both Attenborough and 40k I never felt the mashup demeaned either. Good luck with the new voice. It does sounds pretty good.

[@leeh6317]

What an incredible story! Thank you much for posting. And I LOVE the new voice. Maybe more then David !

[@pierreo33]

Perfect choice of voice

[@vulcanyon]

Beautifully done. One pointer though, it's the worlds that get evacuated not their population. A person getting evacuated is something else.

[@declaration9704]

This is the second one I have listened to with the new voice and I am beginning to like it better than the Attenborough one. The deepness of the voice portrays the bleakness better. Thanks for excellent writing also.

[@TwistedNerves]

Bravo! Excellent story, very well done.

[@TripleTPrince]

New voice is fantastic!!! Reminds me of the beginning of Treasure Planet. Absolutely phenomenal!

[@robertbito1367]

Can we get a shadow keepers lore video next, you could talk about their insane recruitment process and how elite they are, and just there’s so much you could do

[@joshuapizzo9802]

Attenborough or not, your lore is my gateway into the world of Warhammer 40k so thank you for keeping the content coming. The new narrator is pretty epic by the way!

Thank you for powering through the adversity

[@justjuanengineer]

so happy to see you’re still making videos despite the assholes who made you take the old stuff down. we’re here for the great scripts. the voice was just gravy. keep up the great work friend 🤙🏻

[@piratenflipper]

A grave tragedy to see the silky smooth voice of the Grand Archivist go, as it made peace in the minds of the Emperor's subjects Alas his mission takes him elsewhere and his replacement shall bask in the light of the Emperor and bestow upon us Knowledge long lost as his predecessor did. May his holiness guide us.

[@cottage6988]

This may have been the finest Warhammer video ive ever seen. Outstanding work my friend. Moar videos like this please!!!!

[@piksi4590]

Attenborough's voice was something magnificent but you'll make it work with another one I'm pretty sure. My personal impression is that listening to Attenborough' voice was like watching animals from distance ... from the other side of the river. Soft and dampening even when speaking about grim stuff ... like if you listen to how it pronounced "demons" ... soft ...almost like kittens. In a manner of true scholar impartial and dettached from the surrounding horror and gore. This voice is more like a magician show presenter ... "deeeemons" ... and it overstresses every other word and brings tension up ...rising suspense. Not that it's bad but just different. I'd prefer it if it would be calmer.

[@leeh6317]

🙄

[@Scholarslore]

Understandable, I hope the new voice is better suited than this version! Thank you as well

[@ryanclark3445]

I started watching your videos for the Attenborough voice but your content stands up with or without that voice i hope to see your old videos redone with what ever voice you choose someday

[@Datbirb0]

noooooooooo my favourite lore channel I am not good with change 😭

[@anthonyz9757]

Glad you're back. Good job, as always.

[@IDK.Buckaroo]

As said, bummer about the voice change but you still do very good writing and video editing and I’ll still be listening and suggesting your videos

The AI voice was fun, but the writing is top notch. I’m here for the long haul. The new ai is great for the content! Keep up the good work.

[@aussieman4791]

Does anyone know why Magos Attenborough had to be retired? I feel like I skipped some important lore

[@Страус-к3ш]

I liked the Attenborough voice more :( I wonder if you could still use the old model but change it enough to be legally distinct but still recognizable?

[@stonewoodstudios]

The new voice is a bit harsh in tone, but that's a small price to pay for the continuation of this channel. I wasn't following you for the voice-I was following for the bite-sized lore videos, which still remain as good as ever. Without this channel tied to a single specific voice, perhaps you can develop several! Different narrators for different species would be fascinating. Good luck, and thanks for not giving up! I look forward to more of your content.

[@SirTotallyAverage]

Glad to hear you will be re-doing the old videos. There were a lot I was looking forward to watching but hadn't. Regarding the new voice... It seems a bit forceful and quick. I think a slower pace with ample pauses would be better turned to your writing style. The heavy vocabulary is great for the subject matter, but needs a moment to soak in before the next stanza.

Still here for support

[@Frazzledragon]

Oh well, it is what it is. I preferred the previous voice, but I'll still keep watching, because I enjoy the concise and informative format of the videos themselves. I do hope you retain the verbose and eloquent vocabulary. I enjoyed it, when the Orks were described as "belligerent" previously. Although, you should be more careful with the pronunciations, perhaps double check. "irrevocably" and "iridescent" aren't pronounced that way, should've done a second take. At 14:53 it sounds like he says "Ludzgun" rather than "Lasgun".

[@nickbaspaly6239]

New voice is good dude , easy switch for me

[@noboy345]

[@AlphaBiggotz]

Dangit! I missed seeing the Tau video before the changes. Even so the same informative documentary style remains with the new voice. Appreciate you persevering onwards.

[@Narkotix84]

@Scholarslore, Would you consider making videos on the original Astartes legions with the voices of their respective Primarchs? Maybe Magnus explaining about his Thousand Sons and their fall, or how the Lion notice the change in his legion after waking up from his long slumber?

[@moosegalaxy7678]

I love your lore videos, thank you that you still make them. Maybe this setback could be the start of something even better. Maybe you can have multiple voices now that you aren't chained to one? Maybe some female ones too. Don't stop believin God bless you!
