mate this one is AMAZING, loved every second of it. just the idea of a triumvirate of 3 captains who are best mates.

[@kayvaanmcsharrowkyn6901]

We Understand Completely Uncle. REST UP, EAT, DRINK , NAP , REPEAT!!! LOL.... Give The Grey Cells a much needed Holiday. You Should Re-Watch The entire RED DWARF series....I find it is most AGREEABLE with a comfortable chair, a nice fleece blanket, and The Kettle pumping out bottomless cuppas!! And The Cat-Sausage Purring away on the chest.... This is how to FORTIFY ones mind body and soul!! (Also you will need biscuits...) 😂😂😂😂😂 Enjoy your much needed "STAY CATION " OLD BEAN!! See you in February.

[@ThistleGreen]

What makes so many traitors compelling to me is that many of them are veterans of the old war. It gives them nuance that some loyalists can lack, as the emotions and memories from fighting the Horus Heresy and even the Great Crusade can color their personalities and world views so very much.

[@edamitep1533]

This is why Bjorn is my fav loyalist remaining (kinda lol). He gets awoken just to tell the stories of the Horus heresy and the great crusade. He holds it to such a high regard and with absolute respect all the wolves listen in complete silence. I wish the loyalists had more Horus heresy survivors. At least in the salamanders who have the gene seeds of a perpetual.

[@Bloodletter8]

I very much agree.

[@o0Welshy0o]

Dark angels float around in a heresy billboard

[@BohdanKaiba]

Ullik is one of the best characters that you have come up with in the recent lore, I know a good handful of people who love him.

[@Fuerto203]

I always loved the concept of one of the most terrifying thing that can happen to non-chaos forces is when 2 or more chaos lords find common ground/kinship/friendship and work together as a team with trust. The biggest flaw or weakness for chaos forces is that it's made up of warriors who inherently are distrustful and deceitful of one another. They are as likely to turn on each other as they are in actually fighting their enemies. So when 2, or in this case 3, chaos lords actually trust each other and can work together, they can become almost unstoppable.

[@gavinboyer4634]

A strand of three cords is not easily broken.

[@Kropothead]

It would be foolish to assume the lords of Chaos are less social animals than the rest of the species. Eventually they’re bound to run into a rival who makes them mumble “finally, someone who gets it” under their breath. Given all the backstabbing in their culture, those few genuine friendships would probably mean a great deal. See Garro and Tarvitz.

[@Fuerto203]

@@Kropothead Garro and Tarvitz where loyalists. At no point in the lore did either of them become chaos lords. And chaos space marines can not be seen as equally sociable as imperial marines. Chaos space marines have given in to the corruption of chaos, and are all ambitious to varying to degrees, each wanting to become more powerful. This is most evident amongst chaos lords. Each of them vies to be "top dog". So two or more chaos lords being on amicable terms and being able to actually trust one another is indeed a rare occurence.

[@mikek5322]

Ullik deserves to be a canon figure in official 40k lore

[@Kristian.B.Kristiansen]

These might well be your finest creations! Having three such interesting and competent warlords work as a team of friends was a brilliant stroke. Along with your Thousands Sons Mage, Night Lords Psychopath and Word Bearers Mastermind, the 9 Legions are spoild for great characters in your writing!

[@Baldermort]

Thanks a lot brother Kristiansen. I hope to flesh them out a lot more on my return. 2023 will be…. Vicious. :)

[@Kristian.B.Kristiansen]

@@Baldermort Death to the False Emperor! ;)

[@thewayfarer8849]

That Lodge video was so enjoyable, seeing them come together like an evil fraternity. The idea that speaking freely and collaboration is a root to evil is such a 40K thing, understated and one of those earlier arcs that was so interesting. How Loyalist marines were locked out, and well intended marines were sucked in to treason.

[@PelinalDidNothingWrong]

Chaos got hit by some major tabletop nerfs today,but this. This makes it all so much better! Thanks Baldy!

[@Draethar]

Baldermort is S+ tier Warhammer 40K stories and lore. When I read a codex or any piece of Warhammer literature I read it in Baldermort’s voice and accent. If GW hired you as their default narrator I would have tears of joy.

[@joshwharton1803]

Your storytelling ability is on par if not better than the black library itself! Also I've now become a fan of Adrián Berenguer thanks to the amazing choices of musical themes by your wife. Long live Lord Baldermort

[@TheKenthor]

I've been looking forward to this collection! My personal favorite bit of HH lore. I'm inspired to convert and paint a Cudgel for my own Iron Warriors army.

[@byakuyaaizen827]

Aside from Kronan's story, this is my favourite so far! Thanks for this Baldemort!

[@TraciPeteyforlife]

The traitor chapters are such monsters. It's terrifying to listen to them speak so casual of murdering thier own.

[@nitayrafowicz5934]

Tarrax Antarax is by far my favorite Iron warrior in your stories. so cold yet he is powerful and furious, old yet with so much vigor. IRON WITHIN IRON WITHOUT

[@connorriggs1518]

​​@@Baldermort Super late reply on this, but if you're currently making a "cinematic universe" in a sense with these stories; that would, without a doubt, be the single most impressive comprehensive work I have ever seen on YT. Maybe anywhere. Hats off to you, I'm blown away

[@Franpowah]

I love these stories, keep 'em coming Baldermort!!

[@thetalantonx]

Masterful as always, Brother Baldermort. I love how well you cover the stories of Chaos, and this was one of your best. What's funny is I can see myself in one of the characters, and two of my best friends as the others.

[@Taydutt13]

That drinking contest/staring contest is some of the most riveting moments that I have ever listened to on my journey into the grim darkness of the 40k universe.

[@connormcguire484]

Thank you, Baldy, for blessing my phone notifications this day. Cheers, sir! It’s always a good day when I can enjoy more of your voice and fanfiction. I hope you and the mrs had a wonderful New Year!

[@Pied_Shag]

That was one of the most incredible videos i have ever listened to. Excellent job.

[@Azzie420]

YES!!! More traitor buildup I love it. Very iron without, Very iron within. The funny thing about the start of the heresy was the Death Guard we’re known for over supplying their troops which made the outer defences a tough cookie because not only were the Dusk Raiders, well armed they now had a bounty of ammo and heavy vehicles to use against their own lord

During the Great Crusade there were many Heroes within the Space Marines Legions that risen during the unification of mankind across the Galaxy, and they craved out a legend among the Emperor armies, but those same Heroes turn into some of the most vile villain during the Horus Heresy and some even still live to this day to continue their spread their terror across the Galaxy.

Unkle Baldy, I love these little injections of yours to the lore, they flesh out some of the darker more abstract ideas that desperately needed it, BUT I hope you are not cheating and sneaking back in here when you are supposed to be recuperating?

[@nerf.zombiemikula1394]

This is some magnifiscent stuff you made here sir. Even after listening to it i feel the need to want more about the three. I want to see them fight side by side during the heresy and further on. Maybe even see them meet one another in the current time, seeing the changes brougth about by the gods. Also nice to see The Unmaker {im not sure how to write his name} got a backstory. I do feel sad for him though. Would be interesting to see him fight fellow iron hands and maybe have some form of flashbacks or something akin to that. But that's just my thought. As always i can't wait to see more of this.

[@derrabbit7289]

Would love to make a pre-Nurgle model of Ullic, what does he usually arm himself with?

[@Novafire194]

If I remember correctly: The death Guard usually carry the following. A bolter A melee weapon (usually a chain sword or an axe) A combat knife And grenades.

Damn that to be continued wounded me. Looking forward to it brew.

[@kisukeurahara9214]

Brother boldermort you've done it again great job the only thing I have to add is when you said clips. Clips are what you load into the "magazine" with. All rounds come in an ammo box with little boxes that hold clips of two five round each which you then take out and press down firmly into the magazine. Clips however we're used in both WWI AND WWII the Mrk3 SMLE Lee Enfield wich held two clips of five (10 rounds) which are also magazine fed true but can be loaded vertically for faster reload same with the less effective Springfield 1903 ect this usually only common with iron sighted bolt action rifles sorry about the rant I mean this tiny correction with all due respect no judgment just information please don't take offense I do not mean that in any way thank u for reading and have a blessed day/night😅😅✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

Especially now that that bloody Word Bearer is in the market for champions of Nurgle and Slaanesh. Why The Cudgel simply didn't pull out the top two cards in his Rolodex. (heh. Rolodexes.
