If they ever convince Cavill to play the Emperor I think Malacador should narrate, and we all know who should play Malcador the Hero.

The raven Lord in the earliest days of the crusade: a gentle giant, a man who understood himself and his effect on the world around him. A god among men but still a man all the same. Love the portrayal of corax here and it is now head cannon this event happened, which makes his eventual breakdown during the heresy even more tragic

"We are the Blades of The Emperor and will always be needed to protect Man Kind, we are irreplaceable ".... one of the Thunder Warriors during the the unification wars !

I absolutely love these outside non astarte perspectives you bring to life in these Audio dramas. Awesome Baldermort!

Very nice interpretation for Angron one of the best metaphor/explanations ever given to the Emperors actions. Imagine when you are to find the Primarch you created for compassion turned into a hate machine. Angrons fate is one of the best reflections of the mentality of the whole setting. Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim dark future there is only war.

so, that Remembrancer at the beginning... did we just learn the origin story of our humble Narrator?

I'vr never been much of a fan of Angron. I thought his origin was kinda shitty but the way you described his discovery by the Emperor was magnificent. The Emperor seems utterly horrified, but keeps his composure. Horrified not only what he had become, but what they had done to him. The defiling of a primarch, of one of his sons. I feel like it gives Angrons sudden teleportation much more meaning, as it makes it seem like the Emperor didn't want to lose another son, and in desperation teleported him aboard his ship, rather than out of cold calculation.

Everyone keeps forgetting the main issue with the Primarchs...The Emperor DIDNT RAISE them...they were literally dispersed and affected by the warp before he could influence them himself.

The music, the tone, the delivery, all as ever are amazing. The standard this high I'm used to but I'm always amazed at your ability to draw me into the story so quickly. Fantastic tale Baldermort, wonderful work from you and Mrs B. I loved it all.

To bad that when the Emperor created twenty demigod sons, he forgot to pick up a few books to improve upon his abysmal parenting skills.

The Emperor may have had the dream of the Imperium and his armies were impressive and vast, but it was Primarchs his very own sons that won him the Galaxy. Each one was a master of war and were demigods of battle, even ten thousand years the Imperium remembers these figures of legends. The Emperor may have had a design for each one of his sons, but in their own shape the Galaxy in their image.

An hour and a half of Baldermort going into the deep lore of the imperium of man, and covering the very genesis of the 40k setting no less. Truly the universe smiles upon us!

Usually, the only emotions I feel when experiencing Warhammer 40k are epicness and awe. Somehow, this video was the first to make me feel far more than that. Genuinely one of the best pieces of content I've seen on KZfaq.

Cool "What If" scenario- The Great Crusade is a success and the Galaxy is won. What is the role for each Primarch in the new undivided Imperium?

I despise the yeeting of the primarch’s by Erda so much. It reduced what was supposed to be an epic confrontation between the emperor and the chaos gods to a marital spat. It almost feels as if the chaos gods didn’t need to do anything apart from setting Erebus on his course. I treat it as if the yeeting never happened and the events of first heretic with some chaos gods interference happens as originally.

The telling of the red angel by the custode brought tears to my eyes. Truely a master of the lore and storytelling in general. Bravo!

The unification wars were truly more horrific than the wars that followed, not in scale but in what had to be done. Although if I remember correctly it took longer to unify terra than the whole great crusade

"Small legion syndrome" You cant just drop that in the middle of everything! I nearly spat my coffee!

Hour and half, Primarchs, and Baldemort let's f**king GO!!

The perspective you depict in this video reguarding Angron is not only the best, but I'd go so far as to say the only good way to rationalise Angrons existence, far too many try to argue that he was just a tool in the Emperors eyes and that the Emperor didn't really care but that conflicts with far too much and also makes Angrons existence a bit of a plot-hole as if he really didnt love his sons, he should have purged Angron, Angron was too far gone and was nothing but a detriment to the Imperium and easy pickings for chaos.

It’s really rare to find a genuine love letter like this to any topic/project, never mind for this same level of quality to be kept up and repeated video after video. Idk if it sounds weird, but seeing the passion put into this motivates me to work harder on my own projects. Thanks a ton for these great experiences!

Wow, absolutely amazing. That story with the Custodian, *chef kiss*. I never even considered that Big E did what he did to Angron for that reason.

I’m sure I’m not alone but these histories and stories Baldermort puts together are simply awesome and completely unparalleled by other channels or books for that matter. All I can say is thank you, and please keep it up.

"Urshotan will always be my true Primarch!"

When 7:14 started, I wished that was part of the Remembrancers’ oath. If they have an oath, may it come even faction of a centimeter close this. Thank you, already a fantastic start!

How great would have the Great Crusade been if they just never found Logar....

You’re more talented than the GW writers at making characters seem sympathetic.

What an absolute treat for the long weekend. Thank you so much brother Balders, you truly are a thrice blessed gift to our community.

I just never tire of the Primarch stories, lore and background. And I cherish them all in their own way and for their own reasons. I hope you give many more of them the spotlight just like with your fantastic Rogal and Fulgrim videos. This was a one and a hour long treat, great fun!

I am very new to the 40k universe and videos just like this get me so excited to lean everything I can about it. Discovering all of these stories and lore for the first time feels very special, and the entire community is so passionate and involved. I just love it.

I don't think I've ever disliked one of your videos. One could literally know nothing at all about the setting and still thoroughly enjoy your content, I ought to know - I've not finished a single book yet.

The telling of Angrons story was devastatingly emotional and NONE have recalled it better... 😢. BRAVO. BRAVO...

If you allow for the Primarchs to survive and become part of the new human-dominated chaos and Xenos free galaxy, which roles could they have played; Guilleman would be a masterful administrator and bureaucrat. Perturabo a superb builder and architect of War and peace structures. Dorn the permanent commander and overseer of the Sol-System Corax would have written books and retired in peace. Ferrus might have become something in manufacturing and production. Fulgrim could work in culture and arts. Sanguinius as diplomat or living symbol. Alpharius as intelligence leader. Vulkan might retire to a peaceful forge. Russ would bored to madness and drinking on Fenris. 😉 Horus as supreme commander of the armed forces. Both the Khan and the Lion would be working in the outer Dark, free to ride and exterminate as they would. Lorgar would take up writing full time to be the single bestselling author in human history. Angron would be dead and happy about it. Morty... I haven't a clue. Konrad would be in jail. And finally Magnus would on the Golden throne and flying with his father in the Great Ocean.

I often exclaim but that intro was so profound and powerful that no word can express what moved in my soul... Thank you

Blessed be the holy throne of Terra! A Baldermort video on my Easter vacation, HUZZAH!!!!

Praise the emperor! Another banquet from best narrator in the WH community!

I find the Emperor making villas in the himalayas such a bittersweet touch its very wholesome and alittle dorky but i can imagine the emperor painstakingly crafting those villas filling the with things he knew His sons would like plus what would benefit. Also microcosm of a sadness that would expand inffinitely.

These are my favorite type of stories. The genesis of the primarchs and space marines. Like the foundation of Rome or Ancient Greece it’s great to know where it began. If that’s the reason he did that to Angron I have a lot more respect for the emperor. Always thought he did Angron wrong by just letting Angron’s army die.

I feel that it's the grandeur of the Emperor and His sons, the vast potential of the Imperium near the end of the Great Crusade, that casts such a dark shadow over the setting's present day. You did a marvelous job presenting their monstrous majesty. A would-be remembrancer falling to transhuman dread? Inspired.

Throne of Terra, Brother Baldermort! That was positively orgasmic.

When i read "After Desh'ea" my heart truly sank at reading Angrons sorrow and anger. The moment i remember the most clear is the part when he genuinely asked Kharn "Why did you're Emperor do this to me?". Your short story worked so well, being seen from someone else's perspective. It was nice to see that at least someone understood why the Emperor did what he did.

Lord Baldy has once again made a mediochre day into a much brighter One!

Awww, poor Remembrancer, bad luck that he saw Corax with all his extra warp shenanigans

Ah the Primarch project.. If only the emperor was working on the #1 Dad project.. But At least that “#1 Emperor” recaf mug looks nice in the Throne’s cupholder..

Brilliant touch in using the piece of music at the precise moment of introduction of Magnus the Red.

I was full expecting this to be loregar well done baldemort

Baldermort my old friend, your in rare form today. This turned my whole day around.

Honored to listen to this Baldemort!

I only listened to this. I didn't look until the primarch spoke. I was curious which primarch caused this. Seeing it was Corax made so much sense haha.

Excellent as always. My favorite suggestion i heard online for Fenris is that the entire world is a DAoT vacation world. Created to look like the old norse myths from the ground up

I had always wondered why The Emperor seemingly messed up so much with Angron, and this is easily the best explanation, it was to keep his anger, the only way to keep him alive. If The Emperor had done what most I've seen suggested, help him in his last homeworld battle, it would have been his LAST battle.

It's almost a shame how wrong the primarch project went

I clicked so hard and fast. I am ALWAYS down to listen to Brother Baldermort.

The begining of this video is one of the best pieces of fan-made Lore (or Lore in WH40K in general) ever made. 11/10

You have an excellent voice for narration. I really hope you get discovered, and make a bazillion pounds doing this. Well done!

What a glorious thing to wake up to!

I’ve been into 40k lore for a can’t even remember how long, and I’ve never thought about Angron’s situation from that angle before. Whether true or not, that the Emperor did it intentionally to give his son rage-fuel to survive is now my head canon.

Once again you prove to be the hero I needed most. Thank you good sir for saving this day for me. Your voice brought instant, soothing, blood lust stimulating my flesh. Today will be a great day

Artfully done with Angron, gives a great perspective of why the Emperor didn’t intervene and save his army

Ugh, the passage including “…to be an Alexander or a Caesar…” just encapsulated my feelings on the Emperor and his sons so perfectly.

Tho think they took angron a healing empath and wrapped and broke him into the monster.

This might be Baldemorts new masterpiece

I've watched this probably a dozen times, and I only just now realized that the Remembrancer at the beginning is Baldermort's self insert POV character. That this is how he imagines himself if he were in 40k. An elderly scribe dwarfed by the titans, scope and scale of everything in the setting, but still doing his level best to convey them in a way we (the human populace) can relate to. Or maybe I'm reading too far into things. I have been known to do that. Either way, the Primarch was right to laud and appreciate him. We all do.

I got here early forces change. Already know I'm going to love this, so I liked already! Hello Baldermort! Intro is playing as I type, and that alone is better than most other 40K content!

I’ve seen Angron’s story many times before, however this one was magnificent. Everyone always jokes about the Emperor being a bad dad, and I hated the writing around it because it made the Emperor look like such a dick, which didn’t fit with the character he’s supposed to be portrayed as. Im so glad to see a version that gives justification to the Emperor’s actions here. Definitely my personal head canon now.

God your explanation of Angron broke my heart and completely changed how I veiw his entire story. Thank you so much faithful servant!

The Chapter involving the Emperor's origins and motives was a bloody Masterpiece!

I don't understand the unification wars, considering some of the emps feats he would have been able to curbstomp the entire planet solo. Would love to see a video on the angel.

Wow, what an intro! So much effort put into the imagery, editing and execution of the finely crafted script! I was so consumed by your delivery I didn't even notice any music, which ironically means it was subtle and yet perfectly harmonized/complemented the performance. Cannot wait for the rest, yet I had to immediately give my praises!

damn... the emperor... i can't imagine how he broken he must have felt when he saw angron with the nails

Merely a few days ago I commented my interest in the Character of Baldemort and the backstory and now Here it is!!! And Nearly 25 minutes worth now that its here!! Hahahaha!! AWESOME. Thank You Baldemort!! That was Amazing as well as a great Advertising for Depends!! "Meeting a Primarch? You can Depend on Depends when you get hit with Transhumanism Dread!"

You did a wonderful job of sorting out the emotions and reasons behind Angron's fiasco. Bravo, Sir!

I've listened to the Angron portion a number of times and. uncaring of the opinions of anyone(save that of our noble narrator) reading this, will honestly admit that I've allowed its telling to emotionally break me. I weep openly, longer and more uncontrollably each time. Not figuratively but literally... Tears now flow from my eyes, cascading down my cheeks, falling from my face akin to that of a waterfall and forming a deep & salty sea of bitter sorrow upon the floor at my feet, broken-hearted... Now understanding something from my own life having run somewhat parallel to the tale's recital and explanation therein that I never fully realized until just this moment. Irreconcilable, not with a son but with a father that has not taken a breath nor even beat his heart once in years now. An understanding dawning on a situation and its subsequent repercussions that have profoundly impacted both the lives of the father and that of his wayward son... I cry for my ignorance and for the fate that I had forced upon us. I cry for his death has arrived before I could look into his eyes and say, simply, "I understand now, why you made your decision, and I no longer hate you for it." An agony akin to that of the description of pain caused by "the butcher's nails" themselves. I suffer now and forever more.

I was hoping for another great entry from our loremaster. Blessings upon you brother for providing us with another masterpiece. Thank you.

Wow ...an understandable and (dare I say it?) somewhat reasonable explanation of the Emperor's actions at Nuceria....I did not think it could be done. Edit: also it made me cry a little bit

Brother Baldermort, what a brilliant epic work, and great credit to Mrs B for a great soundtrack. Concise accurate descriptions of the primartes and their motivations. A really great piece of work and one that fans will go back to time and again to check that they have grounded their own work in real substance. As always, bravo brother Baldermort, B3 indeed!

I enjoyed this very much, Baldemort. This is a story most of us know and love and you've managed to bring something new and unique in your retelling. Thanks for this.

As someone who consumes Warhammer lore through channels like your own i must say that you have me thoroughly intrigued. Now to find the beginning and begin reading the books

MGMT little dark age plays!

I really do look forward to all of your videos because they're all done superbly, second to none, truly! I don't like or listen to any videos on chaos except for yours I don't even like chaos but your way of presenting them humanizes them in a way that's tangible. My favorite story you've written, is with general Massena & the blood spheres. But all your work pales and comparison to this one video as a design was Shakespearean in the way that you created it and presented it. Truly just one episode is a work of art. You even included the second & eleventh legion, when anyone else would have just bypass them as there's little to nothing known about them to the best of my knowledge anyway. It is your attention to detail that set you apart from all of your contemporaries. You are the only one who does these videos in a way that's not just educational or simply entertainment, but you do it in a way that creates a true art form not to continue to use the same word but there is no other word I know that can describe it better. This one video encapsulates the art form that is your work better than any other, from an artistic stand point I don't think you can top this one ever. With gratitude & love, Angel of the Light.

Terrific work as usual dude 👏, your passionate delivery and humanization of the various characters/factions of this grimdark setting add so much to your vids. Keep up the good work sir and cheers! 🤙

Thank you for using corvus corax primarch of the XIX legion the raven guard, as model in this video. Victorus Aut Mortis lord baldermort thank you, this 🙏 🙌 ❤ has made my day.

How in the world do you keep dropping amazing lore long length videos. Absolutely brilliant.

All the problems could’ve been avoided if the Emperor was a better father. By treating his sons as sons and not as tools, then all the galaxy would’ve been a better place.

If there was a standard to measure 40k lore videos. I am sorry, but this would clearly surpass in all metrics. And it was a true pleasure to listen to my good man.

My goodness your videos are such a treat. I was do engrossed, I didn't even realize how long I'd been listening. Well done and thank you.

I liked the video by default because it contained the word "primarch".

This is going to be one of my top 5 favorite Baldermort's videos. Keep up the great work BOSS!

Fantastic entry. The Emperor and Angron story is now my new Headcannon. Love how you give the characters such life and depth in such a short time.

Truly splendid work once again, sir! I swear these just keep getting better (Somehow!). Also, on a joking note, it's actually kinda perfect how Corvus went to go meet a kindred mind who he appreciated and wanted to work WITH, and when they meet, the bloke wails in terror and wets himself. My poor boy Corvus just can't catch a break xD

The way you narrate, the way you put so much raw emotion, vivid description into these pieces. The cadence, inflection, pronunciation, octave in every syllable. It all elicits a very visceral reaction from me. It's almost as though I'm there in my mind's eye. You, sir, truly have a gift.

Thank you for finding a rationale for explaining big e’s bizarre actions with Angron. When it came to angron, the emperor’s action always confused me. Taking your interpretation of it helps. Thank you.

Great video as always and I just need to say TERRY CREWS FOR VULKAN!!!!! Need to make this happen.

I cannot wait for Baldermorts Sanguinius episode. The way he talks about the Angel is just something else, that video will be something to see.

Captivating, fascinating, well spoken, well written and well done Good Chronicler. Another triumph.

Your voice! Your story! Your telling! Absolutely awesome! Breathtaking narration! I know you can bring me down to a puddle of tears and lift me up to bellyaching laughter within the very same minute with just a flick of your tongue! Thank you! Thank you so much for all the hours of epic entertainment you offered me!

1st. short story, one of your best works Mr. Baldemort and Co.

I love the power, the passion how you deliver this. Thank you so much! Angron and the Emperor moved me. Words fall short how grateful I am for the wonderful work place in all videos.

Man, everytime I come back to the channel I'm shock at the quality of Content
