I'm amazed at what you've done with the new AI voice. It sounds so natural.

[@Scholarslore]

Thank you! In theory it should only get better, as I'm continuously retraining the model on outputs which I thought sounded natural, but I'm still thrilled with the current state of it, and I'm glad that you liked it!

[@Airborne507th]

I am stunned to find out that the voice is AI. Absolutely fantastic, the emphasis on certain syllables,voice inflection and correct pronunciation of Warhammer names/words plus the sound of taking a breath is perfect. I would have sworn its a real person and at the same time I am now a little saddened that this person does not exist. But I am happy that this narrator will live on forever. Again great work and dedication.

[@85Malan]

Would love to see a similar piece on the poor forgotten Thunder warriors. Your lore research is the best

[@Scholarslore]

Oh I certainly will cover them, but I'll need to do some more reading on them until I'm confident that I can do them justice. But thank you!

[@jeffhreid]

Well done. The cadence and timbre is really dialed in.

[@Scholarslore]

Thank you very much

[@Reoh0z]

It's Machine Spirit sings, praise the Omnissiah!

[@rumhound5903]

Heard this story before...BUT I'm loving your narration style. Getting your own creative touch is the key to standing out these days. Scholars lore, I do believe you've nailed it! Well done!

[@Scholarslore]

Thank you, that’s very kind of you to say, and I’m glad you enjoyed the video

[@Nerodrgn]

A great way to start the new year

[@Scholarslore]

Glad to welcome 2024 in with some lore!

[@cottage6988]

Yet another flawless video. You sir are an example of excellence.

[@Scholarslore]

Thank you!

[@estel5335]

Cannot wait for your Black Templar elucidation! BTW love the detailed inflictions on the voice, like taking a breath and emphasising certain syllables.

[@Scholarslore]

Got a few planned for the Black Templars, perhaps more than some entire xenos factions, but I'll have to wait until I'm in a crusading mood for it! And thanks for the comment, I spend an inordinate amount of time getting the voice to sound natural, so it's very much appreciated!

[@MegaDoom101]

Apt that the new year would start with a story on new beginnings. Thanks Dave.

[@rmelotto]

This was fascinating. I didn't know part of the history you mentioned here.

[@MrBenMcLean]

This summary suggests that Malcador interviewed traitor individuals as potential Knights-Errant candidates. That is not accurate. Malcador drew individuals from traitor legions, but never traitor individuals. That's an extremely important distinction.

[@Amanandhispeace]

Perfection, this was always my favourite video of yours.

[@tommietea-time4998]

When I get a break in work, i watch one of your videos. Keep up the great work! Great information/entertainment. Praise the omnissiah

[@connorcmsmith4302]

They may not be the best on tabletop but you have to admit the grey knights have some of the best lore

[@Scholarslore]

It's certainly an interesting faction. When I was first in the hobby I disliked them, but this was mainly because of some writing about Kaldor Drago and his demi-god actions, but they've certainly grown on me a lot since then.

[@connorcmsmith4302]

[@Tom-sd9jb]

What's the news?

[@DerekCFPegritz]

Chaos will never wipe out the human species. Without us to feed on and torment for fun, the gods would starve to death or simply die of boredom. We love to think we're special, but we're nothing but cattle. The Grey Knights are exceedingly few in number. They can win a billion battles and it won't make one billionth of a difference.

Honestly, I'm delighted with the new voice...I know of course that Sir David Attenborough has a huge following worldwide but for me as a non-native speaker his voice always had a slightly unpleasant tone. I still found the idea funny and enjoyed watching the videos...but with the new voice they are even more enjoyable! Thank you so much for the incredible work you put into it! And happy new year! The Emperor protects! . . . . Hydra Dominatus!

[@Scholarslore]

Thank you! I’m genuinely very happy to hear that you liked it. I think you might be the first person I’ve heard who didn’t like his voice! I think I’m in a bit of an odd position, where I personally wasn’t 100% happy with that voice model, however I’m far happier to have moved on from it. In any case, happy new year to you too, perhaps the hydra will have a video of their own in the new year 👀

[@Fortunes.Fool.]

I started with GK in 3rd edition, I’m kinda thinking of making a 30k GK legion.

[@Scholarslore]

Hmm, I'm not sure how that would look considering the timeframes, but I'd love to see some GK conversions with older marks of power armour

[@Fortunes.Fool.]

@@Scholarslorewell they’d be like a 31k army. I’m not a fan of the new 40k Primaris lore, so I’d really love to see GW spend some effort on the years after the Heresy and how the Imperium turned into the 40k I miss.

[@jeffreyatlee8785]

After reading the excellent Broken Earth Trilogy I have decided that the Inquisitors' greatest secret is their paradise planet. They have collected children and try to raise them into good happy people to try and change the Immaterium. But Big E in the Warp fights them.

[@dfailsthemost]

Does every person who dies end up in the warp? Or is it just the echo of their mind that ends up there?

[@dfailsthemost]

@@dovannik32 That's what I was afraid of. Thanks.

[@Scholarslore]

From what I understand, human souls are destined to end up in the warp after death, where they are quickly gobbled up by starved demons. The general belief for imperial citizens within the setting is that the Emperor protects their souls, but I've never read a first hand source from GW which suggests that this is the case unfortunately.

[@helmutstein1178]

*Tau looking sad for not beeing mentioned in the first minute of the video*

[@ia2195]

So, how does the Inquistition not slaughter Cadia (pre-destruction) when they come across the Chaos cos, like they see a bit of chaos

[@jackcharlie9322]

Necron pylons

[@Cthulhuwarlord]

Mind wiping is a common occurrence for guardsmen that have fought chaos

[@EthanKristopherHartley]

Despite how it seems, exterminatus of a whole planet's population is a relatively rare occurance. Especially somewhere where you need experienced and capable defences like Cadia. Imagine having to repopulate a whole planet of 850 million people, teach them how everything on the planet works, train them in fighting techniques and get them ready for the next incursion...

[@Scholarslore]

Fair question, I'm not sure that I've read a good account on why they haven't taken any action, but perhaps they saw Cadia as such a necessary defensive position that they chose to not respond? One of the other replies to you from EthanKristopherHartley is an accurate answer though, they wouldn't be throwing an exterminatus around willy nilly, and so the value of having a fully trained, and fully manned planet is certainly worth far more than a barren rock.
