I believe the emperor allowed the mechanicus to exist for the same reason he created the thunder warriors, a means to an ultimate end. in time, he would have eventually regained or created anew the strength and technological power to render them obsolete to humanity as a whole, and when that milestone was reached, the mechanicus would have been eliminated just as the thunder warriors were, once their usefulness was outlived, and they could only hinder the imperium from then on.

It’s always the brightest candle that fades the fastest those one should save it for a truly dark time so that you might always have something to ward away the dark. I’ve said it before and I will say it again dreadnought are the exemplars of what it’s like to exists in the grimdark future that is warhammer

Dreadnoughts are both an awesome and terrible idea. The experience and power on the battlefield is so important but what a terrible existence. This was wonderful as ever Baldermort. As entertaining as it was informative as you ever manage to produce.

Canonicaly, the Dark Angels have the most of these massive Dreadnoughts of any legion, at around 20 ( according to *Lion, Lord Of The First* )

I think it would have been sanguinius who would said "humanity is safe again" and" to go and hide until needed "

Video has reach melty melty levels unheard of since the melty melty episode. Meltas, for the soldier brave enough to get close enough to just basically delete anything in front of them. Need a guardsman to cause a standard dreadnaught to think oh shit lets not let this dude near me. Meltas!

Eye watering melty melty… I’m standing behind this guy. Brilliantly described and sketched in towering words of promethium. Nice one brother Baldermort bravo 👏

The Dreadnoughts have been a staple within the Space Marines Legions, and the Leviathan Dreadnoughts have been the most powerful weapons available for the Legions to crush any enemy in their way. The Dreadnoughts have been come to be consider a honor for grievous wounded Space Marine to be entombed into the chassis of a Dreadnought, and to provide firepower and support to their brothers within one of the Imperium finest war machine can be no greater honor than to serve even in death. Even now the Leviathan Dreadnoughts are considered to be one of the most powerful weapons left from the Great Crusade era, but even facing new threats like the Tyranids and Necrons they will still crushed them in their way under heavy metal heels.

Perfect timing, my Buddy Morty has been telling me all about these impressive units of the Horus Heresy!

I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the “what ifs” with the Emperor!!!

I see a new Baldermort video, and I immediately download it. One of the best things about having KZfaq Premium is being able to watch Baldermort's videos without having to worry about losing my internet connection.

My favourite Dreadnoughts. You never fail to disappoint and always do justice

It is always a joy, when You put yhe pieces and clues of the wider lore together and gives us your own takes! And I think you are spot on here. The alliance with the Admech smells to like me like a convenient temporary deal, that the Emperor would alter as soon as it because profitable for him. Like he did with the Thunder Warriors. And perhaps even planned with the Astartes... And for that matter neither the Astro-Telepathica or the Navigator-Houses would likely be needed in his vision for Humanity..... so yeah. Reason for suspicion.

Thank you for another great post , l have archived many of these for my son , he listens to them at night ,to fall asleep , your voice is relaxing ... and he surprised me at breakfast , was going over what we were doing that day .... and he stands up and says in his best 11yr old British accent... " But Father have made sure to put some time aside for FUN ? My wife did a spitake with her coffee..

One of my favourite models. Can never have enough Leviathans, wonderful as always

I'm getting at least two, one melee and one ranged. They are just awesome. massive. Do I play 30k or 40k? no. I just buy models and put them together and listen to baldy ramble about space fantasy. And every now and then i pick up a brush and smear some paint on one or two models.

It usually takes a game or two, but you’re adversaries will learn to give these dreadies a VERY wide berth on the tabletop. Not exactly fast, but they are peak area denial.

Been wanting to get one of these for my army for a while, it'll be good to learn something about them first lmao

Quite possibly the most compelling surf shark advert I’ve heard xD

The Leviathan is a beast and only the Telemon and other Custodes Dreadnoughts can beat them. So cool and right there as one of the coolest of the setting.

I think of the poor men in the box... Lork world eater, Naum Death guard lords of silence warband and Borius Drak'shal word bearers 34th host...and loyalist iron warrior dreadnought fighting with Dantioch.

Here comes the juggernault of Iron and Death! I really love your way to trap my attention whenever I ear your lively narration ^^

I make Leviathan Seige Support Dreads for my Krieg boys, with those seige drills and claws with flamers and melters. Front line tanks with Kriegsmen filling the gaps.

That makes three of your videos I was notified was released. What a wonderful day it is for me. Thank you for all your hard work and your wonderful talent for narration.

I know they're plastic now but the nightlords lev and contempor are the best models in the dreadnought range period. I love them. Skulls everywhere!

Oh I really, really like that "The Bald Library" now that is a truly glorious thought and one I hope becomes a reality. The Old Lore is of course the best lore and so much better than the drivel we're getting today. Thank you brother for well, being you...

I get home from work and boom, my favorite raconteur drops a video about one of my favorite units. 😁 That Deathguard dreadnought artwork near the end is just awesome 👌

The Levi Dread chunkiest of chunky boys! The timing of this is perfect!

“That rascal majorkill” That’s why I love ya baldy

And ''thank you" Baldermort, for always makeing it worthwhile to listen.

You can say the same if several legions as you did with the thunder warriors. And he did specifically demand that humans rules the imperium, not the primarchs or space marines. And humanity took over a good chunk of the galaxy in the dark age. It isn’t out of the question to think that he would tie up another inhuman loos end when technology and industry could let normal humans compete.

These chunky boys are my favorite form of dreadnaught. I can't wait to pick up some of the plastic kits.

I agree with Baldermort. I think the Emperor would have fallen back had the Great Crusade succeeded. And I think he would have chosen Sanguinius as his "successor"--for lack of a better word--to 'lead' the Imperium into a new form. Sanguinius alone could have convinced--by hook or by crook--the other Primarches to follow him. Sanguinius alone would have advocated for humanity's self actualization and freedom. Certainly, yes other Primarches would have wanted humans to explore and experiment--Magnus and Guilliman come to mind for example--but they would have wanted a hand in matters. They would have wanted more control than Sanguinius. Sanguinius always used a gentle hand with his own sons, and encouraged them to grow in their own personal ways. Guilliman was the only other Primarch to suggest his sons learn more than magic or warfare, but Guilliman needed control in a way that few other Primarches did. He wrote a text that controlled his sons and his nephews well beyond his "death", for example. The question I think most would have is "Why not Horus? Did the Emperor not love him the most?" And I think Horus' tragic flaw is one the Emperor knew all too well. Horus had pride in abundance. He couldn't have allowed humanity to evolve beyond the need for Primaches. He couldn't truly accept being unnecessary. Sanguinius also feared being unnecessary, but prepared his sons and himself to pursue the art as a way to leave their mark on the galaxy beyond simply being Astartes.

Simply amazing I wonder how much damage this thing would have done if the loyalist unleashed these units during the siege of terra

I love the leviathan it can be outfitted with multiple devastating loadouts, yes they’re a little on the chubbier side but one expects to get a bit bigger when wired into a kill coffin... my favourite of the named leviathans is the blood angels venerable Jophial

Well, that's the first time I've shown Mrs. Fallstar a promo advert in a youtube video! You are just fantastic man, not sure how this works, but if you ever need voices hit me up

These would have been great during the war with the Dullanian's since this could have gone toe to toe with the Scarabine Leviathans, though the faash mega mech armor was bigger than this. Though it is understandable that it wasn't feasible for this to be fielded by The Vylka Fenrika or the Fighting First during that campaign. Once again, you have delivered an exceptional lore video oh great bard. Cheers and keep on doing what you're doing brother Baldermort.

I cant wait to see what the leuge of vutan has for dreadnoughts, I mean they should have them. Proto dreadnoughts were a thing when the great colonization of the universe began. And they never stopped inovating

Only Baldermort and his beautiful fucking voice could make an advert glorious.

i'm also getting at least one Leviathan Dreadnaught :D got a planned Iron Hands list with Dreadnaughts as the main army :D just put together my Deredeo :D and a Relic Contemptor will be its warlord :D

Love your discussion of how the Emperor could/would have deployed these weapons of war against the Mechanicum :)

Wonderful video! Awesome unit! Can't wait to hear your theory on the Emperor's Endgame!

Thank you brother have been asking for this and you actually came through and only the way that Lord Baldermort can😁😁😁😁😁

I love these chunky lads! Can't wait to add a pair to my 40k DA force! Perhaps we could get a biscuit on the Deredeo Dreadnought?

I think that the term "beautiful monster" is completely appropriate here. Well done Brother B:)

Great video as always! Man Balde I would love to hear you narrate the Fabius Bile book series, you have the perfect voice to personify Fabius, and I think you would understand his character and give that conviction that he’s always affirming about his work. Thanks again for another great video I wish you and yours lots of health and good fortune.

Building one right now and was wondering if you'd have a video out on it yet for the occasion.... and yes! lucky! the amount of times i've reread the texts detailing the marching tatics of the Death Guard alongside these badass behemoths is what finally pushed me to give it a go. the real work however will be in adding in all the loving attentions of the Grandfather's mercy. Can't wait!

Cannot wait for my next lore dump thanks Baldermort

Another excellent job! Thank you Sir Baldermort!

The Wounding/2nd Death of Sagittarus is an absolute nightmare in the book "The Master Of Mankind" written by ADB

Baldermort as usual your descriptions and the verbiage in said descriptions is absolutely wonderful

Dreadnoughts are good no matter the fictional setting. I wish we had more 30k stuff, like the ships! I love that old one depicted in the spacehulk/crusade manual.

Like the ghost memory idea behind the madness of the intered marines....could lead to some great stories

Imo one of the most threatening and awesome machinery designs in 40K, the Leviathan truly looks terrifying and unstoppable. The poor bastards who have to face that thing down coming at them...

Having fun with the heat Baldy? Guess you can do like we do in the South and put ice in that tea of yours. Thanks for the lore!

This voice even makes sponsorships amazing, i love it! I could listen to it for hours, would be nice when streaming😂👌

This is an awesome video to edit to! Wonderful work my friend

Good morning baldemort, I'm curious if you would ever make a video on one of your alternate 30k outcomes (ex dornian heresy)

That is a truly terrifying mobile athletes seige tank. Sweet fancy Emperor, I love 'em!

If I ever got turned into chunky salsa that somehow still had a faint pulse I'd want to be implanted in one of these or one of those beautiful Contemptor-Achillus Dreadnoughts of the Legio Custodes. The latter would be preferred but since those are reserved for Daddy E's Glistening Golden Bois I'd totally be down to run amok in one of these hulking death machines. Great video as always, Mr. B. Opening YT and seeing a notification that you've dropped a new vid has brightened up many a sh*t day. Thank you for doing what you do, it is always very appreciated. Much love to you and Mrs. B.

I can imagine how there is pitch battle during horus heresy between loyal and heretical legion's no side has clear advantage over other. Until for some reason on all vox receivers starts playing Disturbed - Idestructable and Leviathan Dreadnaught are deployed to END this battle :)

What a great video! Thanks, Balders. 🙂

5:09 melty melty!

I disagree with your take on the Emperor’s motivations, but I eagerly look forward to hearing you elaborate in the future anyway. Ave dominus nox, brother.

I’ve been wanting to get one of these since I first saw them. So now in plastic at least one will join my Death Guard

The Storm Warriors were like trout for supper. Delicious, but you don't want any sitting idle in the fridge overnight unless you like trout flavored everything.

Man, I love your voice so much I listened to that whole surf-shark ad lol

I love my melta Lance and siege drill leviathan. He is the crux of my world eaters list. Him alongside the 2 contemptors I have. They have won more honors than either squad of my inductii

Holy shit I can't get enough of your content. I've rewatched everything *at least* twice, and I know so because everything I click on has a LIKE already

Man, this vpn part made me laugh so hard. Awesome work, you make even the dullest things sound interesting, s true talent. Hope you can keep up a good work and you should be proud of your content, hope you are

There is a whole other world full of interesting characters and stories in the Mortal Realms waiting. 😃

11:41 Misheard that as "Any rival in Norwich" and got really confused for a moment. Was the Golden Throne in Norfolk for a bit?

The best dreadnought chasis!

One has to wonder: if, as you say, the Aeldari at the height of their power chose not to venture beyond the galaxy's edge... why? We certainly can't say they lacked for independence, adventure-seeking, or ambition. Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if some daring groups did exactly that: set out on proto-Craftworlds for the nearest galaxies, determined to extend the empire or just simply see what was out there. If, indeed, none ever left upon such endeavors, perhaps it was because they had something to fear...?

When do you plan on doing destroyer squads Mr. Baldemort?

In my head canon. The silent king during the war in heavan saw the old ones make the krork and eldar and other races to combat them. As to not be outdone the silent king set off into the beyond galactic void and bio engineered the tyranids and released them into the wilds, the ancient rumored tyranid forms were descendats of his first attempt and when they didnt do it he cast the remainder out to the next galaxy and "forgot" about them. Only to have them be super successful in the next galaxy over and now wanna come show papa how big they grown.

Thank you , BM . 🐺

First? Did I get it? Did I do it finally? I super plan on adding a Leviathan to my collection as soon as my local shop gets em in. I've been eyeing the new box sets too, but payday has not been kind to hobby spending as of late lol

Loved you in Adeptus Podcastus

Here comes the juggernault of Iron and Death!

Fantastic vid as always, was wondering if you have any plans to do the Vitrian Dragoons?

Glorious as ever my good man 👍🏻

Funnily enough I just received a pair of custom leviathan dreads for my space sharks army now I don’t know if I made a mistake or not

Ohhh snap!! Bldermort breaking out the lore vids I love! #favoritedreadnaught #levigang

Dang these dreadnoughts are so cool, I need to get me one.

I love how this guy makes a VPN sound like epic battle armor.

The thing about the Leviathan Siege Dreadnought that would have really lit a fire under the Mechanicum's ass is that it represents the one thing any monopoly fears most: real competition. The existence of technology like this being developed and manufactured outside of the Mechanicum's control means that not only can someone else do the Mechanicum's job, but because they're not bogged down with all that dogmatic superstitious nonsense others are able to do their job better than they ever could. It would mean they'd have a choice between adapting to stay competitive, or stick to their precious doctrine and let themselves be sidelined into history, or else try and violently stamp out any competition that tries to break their stranglehold, which would bring the wrath of the Imperium down upon them.

It always befuddled me why a more stable thunder warrior wasn’t rolled out especially with their loyalty and resistance to chaos.

Thank you for this Warhammer, this your weekly Warhammer tribute.

I love it when you share bits of your headcanon

Thanks baldy for the lovely biscuit

What's this dramatic track with the sorrowful piano at the end?

Excellent video. I especially enjoyed the political implications of the production of dreadnoughts you addressed in the video.

Can you imagine how powerful you'd feel in one of these warmachines? Genestealers can cut down a fully clad Marine in a single swipe, but their claws barely scratch the hide of these behemoths.

Gotta love these Horus Heresy poster boys.

Don't know about you but I'm planning on running a full talon of these in Horus Heresy.

The Broly of Space fantasy.

Yeaaaah another Dreadnought video woop woop

I can't wait!!!
