I just can’t get over how well presented your lore videos are. They really bring the setting to life

33:42 ... A WH40K-themed Sailor Moon redraw fanart in my Oculus Imperia video? YOU JUST MADE MY DAY!

Fell asleep last night to Oculus Imperia in the headphones, woke up, new vid 🤔😎

I like the sisters, I think they are a very underrated faction in 40k that deserve far more attention than they get. Glad this video gives them the credit that they deserve. Good work as always oculus!☺️❤️

Emperor bless you Oculus. I was just thinking to myself how badly I wanted a new record to listen to.

The last time I was this early, the Emperor still strode the galaxy. Ave Imperator!

2:00 "Faith without deeds is worthless"

34:15 oh you sneaky peaky Took me a few mins to notice. I see you, i see you

‘When the God-Emperor asks men to die, He does not ask them to die to satisfy His glory. Our Emperor is not vain. He asks men to die for each other...’ 'The Imperium’s deepest foundation is not glory, but sacrifice.' 'Soli Deus-Imperator Gloria!' 'Soli Deo-Imperator honor et gloria - Glory to God-Emperor alone.' 'Suscipiat Imperator sacrificium nostrum. - May our sacrifice be worthy of the Emperor.' 'And so it was decreed, in the wake of the Age of Apostasy. So it was said by the High Lords of Terra, that the Ecclesiarchy, the great church of the Imperium, founded on the worship of the God-Emperor of Mankind, would never be granted the use of “men under arms”, lest the temptation be too great for cardinals of weak character and high ambition. The Ecclesiarchy; the guardians of the Imperial Creed and the celestial truth of the Emperor’s divinity, whose sole purpose was to regulate the veneration of millions across the galaxy. And in a universe so harsh, where heathen alien life, heretic witch-psychics and the forces of Chaos laid their threat, the church could not go undefended. No “men under arms”; so the very letter of the edict was adhered to, and thus rose the Orders Militant of the Adepta Sororitas - the Sisters of Battle. Some called them fanatics. Warrior-women spiritually betrothed to their religion, clothed in powered armour, cleansing the unbelievers with flamer and boltgun. The Celestians; the Seraphim; the Repentia, Dominions and Retributors, called to castigate those who defied the Emperor’s divine will. The great work of the Battle Sisters never ended, for there were always Wars of Faith to be won, always more heretics for the pyre. They were the line of fire between the anarchy of the infidel and the bulwark of pure devotion. The red against the black. For millennia they had been the burning sword and holy shield for humankind.' ‘Saint Katherine, I beseech you, bring this faithful soldier to the side of the Emperor. Protect her soul for the journey to the Golden Throne…’ - Battle mantra of the Order of Our Martyred Lady ‘When the people forget their duty, they are no longer human and become something less than beasts. They have no place in the bosom of humanity nor in the heart of the Emperor. Let them die and be forgotten.’ - Sister Cannones Grace 'Since the Emperor suffers to shield us, it is a blessing to suffer for Him in return.' - An extract from the 'Catechism of Leadership' ‘The Emperor gave up His life as a ransom so that humanity might live, so great is His love for mankind. The faithful repay Him with daily thanks and prayer, and they serve Him with all their heart, soul, and strength.’

Fantastic as per usual 👏 However, KZfaq is bringing heresy via the frequency of commercials.

My favourite Warhammer KZfaqr covering my favourite 40K faction? Friday 13th 2020 is turning out to be suspiciously excellent! Many thanks Oculus Imperia. Inventi Sumus In Fide.

Finding organizational information on the militant sisters ordo is extraordinarily difficult, and here you have presented it so thoroughly! This is definitely a video I will end up referring back to when trying to explain/understand how the Sisters actually organize in battle.

This just made me really want to invest in some Adeptas Sororitas troops. They truly are under-appreciated.

Outstanding work as always. The unique In-Universe nature of your videos is so great. I have long since begun to use parts of your Lore-Videos as In-Universe Briefings for my Inquisitorial Acolyte Group in my Dark Heresy Rpg Campaign :D

An irony of ironies it is that one of the Imperium's greatest weapons against Chaos are the one faction that matches them for sheer fanaticism. The veil between archenemies is thin indeed...

-Not transhuman -Not psychic -No archeotech -Not read into the arcana of upper echelon IoM knowledge -Still kick ass and take names anyway I think it's safe to say that the Sisters are the biggest asset mankind has. Not only are they the only ones consistently capable of invoking the power of the Emperor, they also most likely retrieved more data than the constantly warring factions of the Inquisition could hope to attain in millenia.

Yes more of your lovely work to revel in, I wish I could get this colletction on Spotify or something, I'd listen o you on perma loop. As ever, thank you.

By the Emperor, this is by far and away the best 40k lore channel on the internet. Its tone, method and structure are so on the nose one would be forgiven for believing it is official content. Games Work Shop owes you a debt of gratitude for brining to life their product. Bravo!

Oh my dear Lamenters, that hit me in the gut.

Please, I beg of you, never stop your Emperor blessed work

By the Throne! Every single video is a work of art! Thank you so much for your superb work.

Your video singlehandedly rekindled my reverence and utter admiration of the Sisterhood, both of how they are in the lore and as a base concept. It is such a captivating idea, a fully female branch of Imperial Faith, comprised of badass nuns of vastly different but invaluable skills, that they have one thing in common - utter devotion to the faith and wholly incorruptible spirit, few singular incidents notwithstanding. Beauty of faith intertwined with grace of womanhood. It enthralls me. As always, deeply appreciate your work and format, historitor.

Story telling and history lesson at the same time, awesome

I'd love Oculus to do the siege of vraks in his sombre tone. I know others have done it but in his style like the pilgrim to terra. I think he could bring real gravitas to how many died there

Yass, Oculus!! Damned good time to drop some records... 🥳🥳🥳

Wait, I thought Sisters of Battle were just one division of the Adepta Sororitas with only sisters fulfilling combat roles being called Sisters of Battle.

Hey..! I’m the 91s thumb. Fantastic job, great “Chronicler” this is one of my favorite tales, and you’ve done it justice. Well done my Brother😎

This was an awesome listen. Outstanding job, my friend.

Can’t wait to finish this video later. Impeccable work as always.

Best loremaster on youtube.

This was great, but what about the Ordo Dialogus? :O they’re imo one of the more interesting X3 I love the sisters though so great work

Great vid!! I never tire of the sisters story it’s particularly fascinating in a verse of fascination!! Plus you can’t beat a silver Bob !! I REPENT SISTER 🙏🏼

Splendidly balanced and presented. I especially felt the last part -- to pray one never needs them -- both touching and illuminating. Their defensive purpose means that, in lore, they fight when the enemy has passed the gates.

Now, when you say "extra-normal interrogation procedures" do you mean: "beyond normal" (i.e. not normal), or "exceptionally / extremely normal" (i.e. happens all the time)? It's the Imperium so I am not sure which is right, even in context lol

By the emperor, your works are truly a treasure to behold. Thank you for all that you do

John Blanche art is a perfect fit for Occulus Imperia's presentation/narration edit: It's Friday night, I'm painting a 40k scene, listening to the OI. Perfect.

Love the vids you do, gets me through so much painting. The heresy deep lore and Titan series have been my favourites so far and I would love to see them expanded, but I watch most vids more than once! Have you thought about telling Vraks at all, once Badab is done? The Death Korps and the Inquisition are both worthy of your attention no doubt. Alea Iacta Est

I don’t have time to die! I’m too busy...

Love me a video on the Adepta Sororitas, especially when said person is a skilled orator.

Fantastic video. Great work as ever.

Absolutely lovely show sir

These are always such incredible quality

Good video made for my birthday thanks Oculus

Absolutely marvelous as always.

As always you bring light to the darkness illuminating tht which I did not know. I look forward to your next report Chronicler.

Well done as always!

Just noticed the Anvil Industries Burning Rose art in there, very nice.

At first I thought them fielding a force of only a few million combat personal was severely crippling to their abilities. However I never considered the non-militant branches which provide services to the Imperium in even more desperate need then soldiery. I discounted them as one would clerks of the administratum, the gears that keep the soldiers going. However in an Imperium so rife with large scale problems, these less prominent duties will have an arguably far larger scale effect then another strike team of sisters. A squad can win a battle, a healing saint a war, a piece of well found intel could stop the problem before either is needed.

Another EXCELLENT lore video

That was brilliant! very well done Sir

GW should hire you since every video makes me want to buy more models!

“One does not usurp the greatest authority in the imperium without being supremely good at what one does.” - And just like that, the administrators of the imperium are already more competent than both major political factions of the USA....

You can always depend on a Sister of Battle.

Need to do a video on the adeptus Arbites

Sublime job on these

Totally awesome work

Whooo! my girls being represented!

Another excellent record. A joy to listen to.

Thank you for another one.

33:32 when the artist draw this battle sister character probably was thinking of Tasha Yar(Denise Crosby) from Star Trek TNG or actress Sofia Boutella(The Mummy,Kingsman)

Just a heads up, long time subscriber - not seeing your videos pop up in my feed and have you bell'd. I do have a lot of subs so maaaaaaaaybe that but, I'm generally looking out for warhammer content. Keep up the great work.

Thanks for the vid sir.

Great as always

Well done Chronicler, Well done. May the Emperor Protect You.

Now, I embrace piety and the purity of the Machine God just like any other Iron Hand, but... I mean... these Sororitas got me feelin’ some kind of way...

Seems like the dark Mechanicun is at work. This video did not come up when I was looking at your videos

Am I the only one who was thinking that when the Bride's of the Emperor confronted the Custodes, threatening to fire upon them, the thought of, "Oh aren't you adorable; you think you're a threat to us", passed through at least a few of the Custodes?

I think the Age of Apostasy could be an amazing book series.

Is there any chance we can have these videos in podcast format so I can listen to them at work?

Fantastic!

Outve listening/watching the lions share of the "Big 5ish" WH40K KZfaq lore masters presentations in the last 2 or so months, I'd have to DEF say that Oculus Imperia & his work sit @ #1 in terms of how the material is rendered.... ~Of course, they all do deserve a hefty nod, as everyone does things to a differing style & modality!

28:10 I love 40k so much. Even the nurses can have a little chainsword, as a treat.

Calling the Orders Hospitaller non militant is kind of funny ~_^ They are often the first on the line when a Nurgle cult rears its head and they are pretty famously fond of flamers. Edit: At 34:18 is that.... Is that adepta sailor moon?!

Total love my brother

Never stop making these ..... ever

Ave Imperator bless you most noble chronicler

I guess it’s the irony of the whole thing, but the sisters of battle are completely at odds with the Imperial Truth. The Emperor himself was adamant that he, himself, was just a man and not Devine, he censored Lorgar and the Word Bearers for just this belief….love the channel, you and Baldamort are my favorite sources of lore

Found this channel by chance. It's really good and informative in 40k lore but watching so many of these videos I came to realise it's easier for me to listen in x1.25 or x1.5...😅

I click on this video, KZfaq starts a 69m 35s ad, by itself more than 31m longer than this video. Who knows how long ad two would be, much less later commercial interruptions. I skipped the ad immediately.

May be a cool idea if our friend oculus has to work with one of those sororitas historians? And has to leave his abode on terra to find something?

yay ima binge

I was NOT expecting to see sailor moon in this video.

Blessed by the Chronicler yet again

I DON’T HAVE TIME TO DIE! I’M TOO BUSY!

Nice!!

I wonder, is there any chance whatsoever to have you focus on the various orders? Or is there just too little lore?

Another video from grampa scribe, this ones about the scary nuns!

that sailor moon sororitas fan art, teehee!

Yes! After enough waiting, the glorious god emperor rewards my... devotion?

Wait, is that artwork at 7:30 the Daughters of the Burning Rose?

Seems like you have been gone forever,how iv'e missed my dose of your lore.Can anyone tell me what the music in the background is please.Thanks in advance.

Has anyone else noticed the Goge Vandire is a dead ringer for Klaus Kinski?

WOOT WOOT SISTAS!~!!!

Is the "having no time to die" part of Gogh Vandire a reference to TTS or is that actually in material somewhere?

I must ask. Is the part at 0:55 about being terrified being good as it means you're still sane inspired by the line from Watchmen?

The one dislike is a Goge Vandire fan

Only in 40K would you have an organisation made up of elite warriors on the one hand and window cleaners on the other. I love it. :o)

The amount to which this channel is undersubsrcribed is truly criminal.

where was the Custodes, Astartes, Guard and the Inquisition? how did they let the reign of blood happened? heck even the Assassins could of done something.

@oculus Nice title typo LOL!
