The Mentors Successor Chapter of Space Marines in Warhammer 40000 A straight reading of the lore for the Mentors Chapter. This has been done as a sleeping or hobbying prop and due to the new codices not having this information contained within it. Not for everyone, but a useful video I hope. I find lots of little details in them make it more entertaining than one might think.

I love how humble and self effacing you are… apologizing for artwork or your ability as if it’s an issue at all. Take my word at least, we love ya and would watch a black screen if it had you lore casting. Thanks as always!

Mistrusting of the government?? Sounds like my kind of chapter! Thanks as always Baldemort!!

With the lore around this chapter and the green helmets I would hazard a guess that they were loosely based on American green berets.

I really liked their re-imagining in the Spears of the Emperor novel as a Green Beret style force that drops-in with small numbers with primary missions of training and growing a new force.

red talons would be interesting. Surprisingly little lore on them despite being a second founding chapter

The Mentors. Smart guys who farm their smarts out to other Chapters. Plus have tech better than anybody else. Like, better better. Excellent work, as always.

What an interesting successor chapter, I thought they’d be pretty lame given their name but they sound like they would be really helpful as a supplement to the Fists or Ultramarines when planning out a campaign

Again, I suggest the Tome Keepers. There’s even written fiction and quotes along with a full white dwarf article series on them. They are my third army of three and lovely 😊 in so many ways. Science!!

I love the Mentors they are just so interesting especially the fact they only deployed small numbers of marines at a time it’s one of the inspiration around my custom chapter only send out 5 man teams. Thank you for shining a light on this small chapter good sir

Spring has finally made it to Texas and uncle Balders has a new video! Today is off to a great start!

Tome keepers would be a good idea. Would love your take on this new chapter

I get dark angels vibes from the Mentors. Strategic genius, knowledgeable in many fields of war, secretive nature It seems to fit for me.

I don’t need images. You’re delivery and vocal qualities are more than entertaining enough. Most often I just put your work on and set the phone down to listen. My mind makes the associated images.

Great video I remember seeing this marine having his armour fitted by an adept when I was about 10 years old... About 30 years ago! You have done them justice as ever! How about the death spectres they have a very curious lore which I think would be interesting for the viewers. Thank you again for your contribution to this amazing setting.

Once again servo skull, the Angels of Absolution. Great lore as always sir!

Have you ever made your own successor chapter baldemort? #1 Be interested in hearing your lore for your custom! #2 howling griffons #3 sons of Medusa #4 dark krakens

Just finished Spear of the Emperor so this is perfect! Keep up the great work my liege.

Neat! Although it is surprising that such a comparitively new chapter is so highly regarded by the Imperium's higher ups.

Love the mystery around this chapter. Thanks, Baldy!

They went and ret-conned my favourite (and 1st!) Chapter didn't they. Back in the 80's the Mentors were the 1st Chapter I ever read about, in the 1st White Dwarf I every bought. They haven't killed them off at least and there's a tiny germ of the original background still 😁

Oh blessings from the omnissiah. To hear the velvet tongue dropping those idioms, phrases, cliches. M'lord Baldermort, thank you for sharing your time with us.

Cheers, Baldermort, another good one! Your Fall of Cadia vid the other day was fantastic and got me well through the week. Your intense "Cadia STANDS" puts the faith of the Emperor in your listeners. Keep up the great work ;) The Mentors sound pretty cool albeit unusual. An entire chapter of what are basically studied drill seargents with an engineering degree :D

Thank you for covering these guys! Easily in my top ten.

This is one of my biggest favourites so far! You ignite my pasion for this lore with each entry ❤️ Thank You Master ❣️

I really like the successor chapters so I'm really happy you're doing this series

I suggest Knigts of Blood, chapter which is too brutal even for the Flesh Tearers... and other interesting chapters to look at are Mortifactors, Iron Snakes, Libators, Obsidian Glaives, Executioners...

I was attracted to try this video, as basically I have been painting Mentors in Epic scale, and some Space Hulk Terminators, for about 15 years now. Inspired by the original White Dwarf article!

It is really nice to have another video of yours to watch. I wish I could sit down to watch your Cadia video in one sitting. These are great to watch over lunch break, makes me wish I was painting my marines whenever I watch one.

The Skull Takers are also an interesting chapter to cover when they also compare to the Ultramarines to show how different Chapters even the same geneseed can be.

The Mentors actually sound very cool. I hope you get to do the Celestial Lions.

Another great video Uncle Baldermort. I would echo another suggestion given in the comments; Tome Keepers. They are a very interesting chapter. The Silver Skulls, Sons of Sparta and Astral Bears, Auric Patricians, Black Guard and Black Wings.

Nice, a chapter I've never heard of. This will be interesting

I'd love to see something on the Death Spectres or Exorcists

Been loving you covering the new chapters of marines as cool and well thought out the founding chapters are their successor chapters are just as if not more interesting

When I first got into Warhammer near the end of seventh edition, I spent quite some time going through the art of all the space Marines and trying to decide what color scheme I wanted. I considered the silver skulls for a while, but I ended up painting my first ever chapter as Mentors. It’s a project I’ll have to revisit, because I think they’d make an especially appropriate demo army for those just getting into the hobby 😁 Amazing work as always!

An awesome video! I’ve never heard of the mentors before but they are much like the Raptor space marine chapters the chapter I requested with my last comment. I truly enjoy your videos. Thank you truly.

Yet again; I will suggest The Novamarines chapter. They're a pretty interesting Ultramarines successor who are extremely anti-xeno; even for Astartes and have a history dating back to the second founding. Thank you for the lore Brother Baldermort!

The Mentors are one of my favorite space marine chapters. I would love to see more lore of them from GW in the future.

I love all of these lore breakdowns

Might be asking a lot but I'd love to hear your take on the son's of the phoenix. Not much much lore on them yet but they have a pretty solid foundation starting

Thanks for the great content! It has reignited my interest in the 40K Universe. I might even dust off my old models. Would love your take on what happened to Leman Russ.

I really like this chapter, If I did paint my Dark Angels full green I would have went with the Mentors!

fantastic, bit of lore regarding a chapter I recall as only having a small entry in Rouge Trader... something along the lines of " the guys who get to field test new equipment // war gear?" unless I'm mistaken

We of the Emperor's Spears do not recognize these 'false scorpions' as battle brothers. They dishonor our dead by wearing the colors of our brothers of the Sentinels of the Veil!! Jk just having a bit of fun. Another great video as always!

Still waiting for Ringtones! 🤣🤣 Thanks for another great video!

My suggestion for next chapter is “The Emperor’s Spears” chapter and/OR Celestial Lions chapter. Since you have covered the mentors in this video, I believe the spears would make a great and logical next step. As there is an entire novel written Aaron Dembski Bowden (“Spear of The Emperor”, which is my all time favourite 40k story personally.) about this ultramarines successor and that it has heavy ties to the mentors, star scorpions, black templars and other minor successor chapters scattered throughout the 40k universe. P.s. The novel about then even has Mentors marine as a core cast member.

That was a really interesting chapter, thanks for talking about them. I'd like to drop another request for Sons of the Phoenix, something about that name leaves me real suspicious 🤔

These guys would get along really well with the raptors chapter.

Can we start a petition to get Baldy a narration and voiceover job for Darktide and it's lore? At least an NPC or something 😁

That was cool, I like the subtle suggestion in the lore that the Mentors may have been the testing chapter for the Primaris space marines, even before Gullimans return, with their alledged fielding of space marines 'of unusual size, strength and fortitude' along with having close ties to the Mechanicus for their equipment.

I'm voting for the Black Consuls just cuz I'm partial. Who ever gets next will get a great entry from our favorite loremaster!

I'd love to see one on the sons of medusa. Need some Iron hands love

Mentors!!!!!!!!!YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!! Interesting new take on the old chapter. Im glad they kept the theme of being parcelled out in small units to study, learn and teach. Not sure how you can have a Very secretive organization which works very well with others and all the time (at least without the Inquisition being very Jealous) but such is the delicious paradox of 40k

I think I found my new favorite chapter. Thanks Baldermort!

My favorite Successor Chapter. Thank you so very much for this video. I have always liked this Chapter from the earliest lore I saw of them. I don't recall if I saw them in the Rogue Trader rulebook, the Red Compilation book, or if it was in an ancient White Dwarf many years ago. I am not sure why the color scheme appeals but I like the white and green. The lore of the Chapter was what I really enjoyed, though. For color schemes, I do think the Novamarines quartered pattern looks nicer but the simple Mentor Legion white and green is clean and simple, a classic look.

Great video as always. Well thought out, well structured, and impeccably delivered. Found out about Balde's videos through the Distractable podcast, and I'm thrilled to have so many savory videos like this one to chew through.

It's been a long time since I've tuned in, but MAN even after my falling out with the series, just listening to your narration again is making me feel so creatively empowered again! Much love dude, keep killing it!

This faithful listener loves all of your entries; you sure are a lore master and your talents and passion are greatly appreciated thank you good and kind sir everything!

Battle Brother Baldermort, another excellent installment. Friendly reminder for a Soul Drinker vid :)

always love your stuff

Ok I know it’s a fan made chapter but could you please do the Angry marines? Hearing you read their profanity fueled excerpts would be glorious!

the most comprehensive video on the Mentors chapter i have seen! thank you Baldermort!

Keep up the great work! Just absulut amazing!

Mentors are the SF of space marines. Trains locals and serve as force multiplier. If there were more chapters like this, imperial guard would be much more effective and imperium command would be much more competent.

Baldemort, I love your videos. Especially your video about the chaos sorceror who had a dreadnought sarcophagus as his bed. And your video on the Tyranid maleceptor made me buy a maleceptor. I have written a couple of (very)short stories about 40k in the past. Would you like them? They would sound amazing with your narration.

They sound like they're meant to be as organised as the Ultramarines, as tech-savvy as the Iron Hands, as Spec-Ops as the Raven Guard and as sneak-sneaky as the Alpha Legion? A powerful combination indeed.

Will get round to this for bedtime thanks again mate 👍🏼

Dear Lord Baldermort, I have been rereading Codex and books these past few months and listening to yours and others channels. My 12 year old son is starting up his first army and he is taking in all the lore to help him pick which faction will be his first. As him and I sit around and he asks me questions and I try to remember or we both go and hunt for his answers, we have grown closer, kids and parents relationships today is totally different that the relationships we had with our parents back in the 70's to say the least. My father spend a Friday night playing a tabletop war game with me with expensive models, I don't think it would have happened. Today the prices of WK40K models are pocket breaking but with 3D stuff, well let's say, his first army will not be tournament legal😏 Back to my question/request..... He was asking/searching for the biggest Space Marine ever. The first answer that came to my mind was Vulkan Primarch of the Salamanders but that Tyberos of the Carcharodons popped into my head because I remember and I hope I remember correctly that he is so big and tall that his Terminator suit was made with parts of a Dreadnought shell. Could you please when you have time do a video of the largest Space Marines, if you have the time.

Relictors have some cool history.

The Distractable Podcast sent me here. You are awesome!

For future: Silver Skulls, loyal sons of Iron! This Vid: Another excellent short snack. Love your work and your passion.

Happy you talked about them today my friend

Closely related to the renegade warband known as The Dementors from the Daemon World Azkaban.

If we’re looking for striking colours I’ve always thought the soul drinkers looked unique

Another great one brother Baldermort 👍 thanks for the introduction, a new one on me.

It could be paranoia but I see many paralels between the Alpha Legion and Mentors. All that secrecy, adaptability and shifting command. Not to mention the loss of the Star Scorpions before them. Thanks for the video on these guys, knew there was more to them than that stand out colour scheme I remember from my Dad's old Rogue Trader.

I love the Mentors, Spearment and Pepperment are my favorite flavours hehehe

I really want a story of these guys fighting next to the Wolves.

Love the content. Hope you start doing some small stories

In the grim darkness of the far future there is no time for peace there is only time for this mans amazing voice

I just decided to do this chapter thanks for the Lore

Love these guys! Only the Raptors and Raven Guard can match them in guerilla Warfare. And the Alpha Legion of course

I'd like to see the Black Dragons :) These chapter videos have been amazing!

I can't hear or read their name without thinking of the band the Mentors. "She cranked up the tunes, it was the Mentors!" The Meatmen - Ball Peen Baby. One day I'll get around to making an El Duce chapter master model, I've done a few in their color scheme already to play with it.

Personal head cannon: the mentors 1st company is actually just secret Custodians defying the edict of restraint and using an astartes chapter as cover.

Love all your work lately sir. Can you do a video on the Primarchs after the Heresy?

Love this channel. Subbed.

Keep up the great work Baldermort.

Amazing as always homie. ❤️ From the Fresh Coast.

Unfortunately so many of the more obscure Chapters have so little information that's readily available it seems unreasonable to ask about them (I'm thinking of Chapters such as The Angels of Vigilance or The Black Talons). This was a genuinely enjoyable video, so thank you.

No worries about a lack of art! These will make an awesome playlist soon enough! \o/

I’d personally like to see videos on the iron snakes or a video on how the space wolves. Use the fenriasian wolves in battle. Love your videos keep up the good work!

Great video Baldermort

Baldy, always be happy,we all love you

This is interesting thank you baldermort

I'd be interested in seeing one on the Black Guard, Knights of the Raven or Consecrators

Hello Balders! How about the Disciples of Caliban? I love that color scheme.

END QUOTE. Love that part.

Great content is always please keep them coming I would definitely like to see your take on the successor Space Wolves chapter 🤜🏽🤛🏿👍🏻👍🏻
