Yes! My great primarch! Thank you! While he is my favorite after Dorn I still love this anti social man.

[@Kyser666]

I'm so exited to start listening to all these primarch videos

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Well there are a lot of them :)

[@uglyweirdo1389]

My favorite playlist

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Nice to hear.

[@ivirantihero9089]

even in 2021 all the videos are awesome, im rewatching them now. theres just so much to absorb. only critique i have is i wishe even more was covered. a different channel i came across had a 2 hour video for just perturabo and it was great but not nearly the coverage you do.

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Other channel probably spoke more casually. I mostly just narrate the lore. I wish I could speak more openly but several issues kinda prevent me.

[@TripRide675]

Hey GDN, really appreciate what you're doing with your vids. I'm a loyal subscriber and listen to your audio books about every night just so I can sleep. Love your Brunner audio books, please keep it up!

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Glad you are finding some use for them, buddy. You're welcome :)

[@brandonalucard7522]

grim I remember when I found your channel u had a few dozen now look how u have grown. U are one of my favorite

[@pailhorsegaming6762]

This may be one of the oldest videos of yours I’ve ever watched. Its cool to see how far you’ve come since then.

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Thanks. Ironically, this is far from my oldest lore videos :)

[@pailhorsegaming6762]

@@GrimDarkNarrator Oh I know, but you’ve improved even from here!

[@tysongardner2821]

Fantastic opening video for this mini series, cant wait for the continuation. I would actually like to see you do the Primarch videos in the actual order of their chapter, it would be a great balance that way, or go one imperial one traitor alternatively. Keep up the great work. 👍👍👍

[@rosicroix777]

Another great video,am glad you started doing primarchs. I vote for Perturabo & Magnus the Red for next primarchs you cover. you should do a video on the legion the primarch runs so w/the dark Angels could you cover cypher please. TY&keep up the good work

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

I will one day start doing a series on the legions themselves, but I can't say when. The beef is the fact that i'd have to be very selective in order not to mix the legion with its current day chapter.

[@hku99]

More goodies , Thank You

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

you're welcome.

[@JeanLucCaptain]

our favorite emmo angel!

[@troublewakingup]

Corvus Corax= emo Konrad Curze= edgy goth Mortarion= straight up depressed Pertutabo= bitter hateful guy in the back of the class

[@jakedouglas6904]

7:21 LOL

[@lukekelly4091]

khans the best primarch in my opinion humility, modesty and one of the best sword fighting primarchs and he's GENGHIS FUCKING KHAN!!! so yeah ha defiantly my favourite

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

He might actually be the third primarch I cover.

[@lukekelly4091]

cool I'll look forward to it keep up the great content

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Thanks.

[@Nyctophora]

Lion has the best hair.

[@shadowseer92]

I hope GW make Dark Angels Traitoris, and the Fallen as Loyalists, it would make the Dark Angels fluff that much better. I mean their entire chapter is about secrets.

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

You'll need TWO bolters for those kinds of secrets :P

[@LCliffhanger]

there secretive because there loyal and dont want the imperium to cast them out, there have been perfectly loyal chapters that get excommunicated and if all there secrets were revealed especially the fact that the fallen are a thing, there reputation would take a big hit and could cause all kinds of problems for them

[@gruesomebearofthemountains5910]

Do Alpharius. He should of have some secrets.

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Unfortunately there's a chance that Alpharius will be the last I'll do, lol. When I finish with the Lion, I'll probably ask in the video for everyone to submit their next primarch wishes.

[@TheScovac]

Could you please do Horus next please?

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

When I finish with the Lion videos I will announce it in that video and everyone will be able to submit their suggestions. The one with most upvotes will be the next primarch i will do :)

[@captainsharazad]

I would like to ask that the next primarch is a "traitor" Primarch, My personal Pref would be Ol' Morty (Mortarion)

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

That's actually a good idea that I have not considered. Only fair to alternate between loyal and traitor primarch.

[@captainsharazad]

And it still leaves Alpharuis / Omegron being last as there kinda in-the-middle till after the heresy :3

[@captainsharazad]

Also, Huge "new" fan :3 Been subbed for about a month now, Keep it up :D

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Greetings and welcome :)

[@windwind3170]

Do them in order of which number their legion is e.g. Lion's Legion was 1st so next one is Fulgrim and his Emperor's Children.

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Guess I'll see when I finish with the Lion.

[@OEFarredondo]

I heard he was a die hard Spring Bucks fan

[@crimsonphucker4629]

Are you sure you are not a mechanicum adept?

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

I'd probably be earning much more as a programmer or engineer if that were the case.

[@mikeboy101]

A great and noble man, but none compare to sanguinius.

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Sanguinius was probably the most noble of them without being arrogant.

[@ukaszbiaek6641]

and maybe because of that lion is more interesting :p

[@Twilight5007]

I have no idea how, but if any primarch deserves to come back it's him. I'm actually surprised he wasn't given the living saint treatment.

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

One would say he felt a bit too much for many things, though.

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Probably because he's not as popular as poster boy Guilliman. Not that I dislike Guilliman. I actually like the Ultramarines but since they are also the poster space marine boys, it was obvious Guilliman was the one to return first.

[@sneakysquirrl708]

My vote: Order of Discover

[@projectperfectmmo3745]

I always thought Lion El Jonson was a dick joke nobody understood.

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

How could you...you...you heretic!

[@ramsuryaprasath1381]

No

[@repa1950]

Kondrad Cruze or Magnus the Red do them

[@chickenmonger123]

Lawful Neutral with no skill in Persuasion and no skill in Insight. But pretty much everything else.
