MARK VI CORVUS PATTERN POWER ARMOUR IN WARHAMMER 40000 The Mark 6 power armour was the first pattern for the very first space marine models released for warhammer 40,000. There is important lore on how and why they were made, but I also go into a brief note on when it came out and Rogue Trader the first edition of Warhammer 40K. The story at the start is just fan fiction and never ever to be considered cannon. PATREON LINK: www.patreon.com/join/3510517 NEW CHANNELS!

Yo, what a great story! Another fantastic one in the book. You really weave these stories in such a way as to make the whole thing visible in the mind as you tell it. Thank you. I do so look forward to getting new content from you. Keep it coming and I’ll keep viewing, liking, and commenting. Also, that message at the end, well put. You are absolutely right on brother. Take care and peace.
Thanks for that message at the end. I don't know how many people needed to hear that, but I wish it was said more often. Great work as always Baldermort. Don't let our demands keep you from doing what you have fun doing.
Thank you brother Rock. A lot!!! Aye. I just feel I need to remind people every now and again that it’s meant to be relaxing. People get too close. :) *bows to brother RockThekami* *
Mk6 represents such a happy time, entering this hobby, the excitement of Rogue Trader, and its nostalgia means more to me than any other MK could ever get close to.
The way you talk about 40k, the fun and engagement and the sense of how much you love it really is just so infectious. Master storyteller, thank you for sharing your feelings on this fun and fascinating hobby, and this video!
Gentle storyteller, it pleases me to no end that Mark VI Corvus armor is your favorite - As a Raven Guard player in 30k, and a Raptors player in 40k, the humble beakie is a staple in all my Astartes forces!
A fantastic video Baldermort, thank you for giving us some more Power Armor goodness, you really knock it out of the ball park with the Power Armor Lore!
The Corvus Power Armor is perhaps one of the most ironic armors that the Space Marines have ever worn in their ten thousand years of service within the Imperium, and while many new power armor were later created in the Emperor service it was this beak helmeted armor that shaped assault squads for many generations.
Hey there, Baldermort, I don't know if you'll read this, but I'd like to let you know I eagerly await every video you put out. I have exactly zero experience in the actual tabletop and figurines, but your storytelling and world building bridges the gap for me. So I thank you. With regards, your eager subscriber. You are one of the few channels I give that coveted Bell notification.
I do so love these very human moments at the end of your videos. I find them just as enthralling and thought-provoking as your fanfictions themselves. Thank you for another remarkable banquet on this Friday evening, my soul is more than satisfied.
Baldermort, fantastic story, and background as always, but can i please express my utmost joy and thanks for the true message towards the end of this video, it has brought me to blissfully happy tears tears and allowed me to feel such pride for what i and we hold so dearly. Thankyou. Bravo, and thankyou. -Mat
Excellent video as always Baldy. Your ending monologue though, chefs kiss. This is our hobby and everyones. Enjoy it and let the stories of war on and off the tabletop rival that which the likes of The Black Library publishes.
One of if not the best looking helmet designs and a marvel of technology. The Mk VI has earned its favour from the raven. Sleek, predatory, and the herald of doom for countless foes. Even the brutes of the orks know the space marines by its shape and power. I do wish that as time marches on and new armour marks arise, we see the Beakie continue to endure and survive, much like the man and legion it is names after - even if they are scant few and we as hobbyists much scavenge and customise our models.
My favourite chapter of Sensible Marines getting some love again, on top of the fuzzy nostalgic feeling I get whenever I see the beaky plate. Takes me back decades to my childhood when I was first getting into 40k. A timeless classic, more iconic than any new armour can be, all presented by my favourite narrator. You always find the best artwork too! Today is a good day.
Thank you so much for this. I very recently got back into the hobby, focusing on Horus Heresy, but was a player back in 2nd edition, I even have some Rogue Trader era models knocking around. This video, the message at the end... thank you for articulating these feelings
Love that last message. Grew up alongside Warhammer but literally never entered my "vision" until 2017 with Total War Warhammer. Jumped in proper in 2019...just in time for the Pandemic. My Age of Sigmar side project became my main focus after doubling down on Brood Brothers saw me enter 9th edition with half a Genestealer army and half a Guard army and no passion for either. Tried to get onboard with the Asuryani and Corsairs...but despite investing treasure and time...they spark no joy. Now here I sit on a hot day listening to your proclamation of fun and I have my first eBay acquisition in front of me. 5 Infernus Marines. I avoided Marines this long for a myriad of reasons, but mostly for what you touched on: fear. Fear of what others would say/think. But 2023 is now the year I open my home to the Covenant of Fire Chapter and I'm as excited for them as I was my first box of Neophyte Hybrids or Lumineth Bladelords. Life is too short to dwell on the negative.
Thank you for all your efforts on giving us so much, Sir Baldy! I listen to your stories on the construction site, it makes work so much more enjoyable
Always a treat when I listen to new lore education from you Baldermort. Plus told in such an amazing style and in your Godly voice. Thank you for your work!!
That ending sums up exactly how i feel about it......play for fluff and fun and beware of the company's business strategies. Imaginative fun with friends is the point right? The rules conveyor belt is a thing. Bravo Bauldy very well said 👏 👏 👏
What a beautiful video. Not only was the lore fantastic, that bit at the end of how Warhammer has evolved from the og days till today & advice to keep it fun made me realise that this man Baldermort really is a pillar of the community.
If I could get GW to grant me a few wishes, the first thing I'd ask for is Gabriel Seth in terminator armor wearing his Predecessor's chain fists going berserk on a swarm of tyranids. I'm genuinely a hopeful person and think we'll see Seth in terminator armor one day. Would you happen to know why no Flesh Eater chapter master has worn terminator armor since Nassir Amit?
Writing as I listen to the end of the video. I always love hearing the passion in your voice when talking about the hobby. We all need a Baldy one in our lives, in any of our hobbies.
I remember seeing Warhammer at the local hobby shop and falling in love. But I had no money and no friends that played it. Then early 90's Bolt Thrower came out with Realm of Chaos and I fell in love with them. I always knew a surface scratching of the lore but only recently dove more into the lore. Channels like this that also explore fan fiction is what it's all about. RPG's and table top games are about telling stories and having fun with friends.
Thank you for this gorgeous video Baldermort. I loved the lore of the mkvi But your discussion of THE HOBBY! I fully agree thank you for, as always, making me feel good to be apart of this hobby. If I may, I have a story from a game I played of 10th edition last night. My opponent was stressed, anxious and panicked, bless him. By the end of the night we were red in the face from laughter, at his tragic rolls bsr bjorn the fell handed who swept many of my units, we jokeeld it was a training contest between my salamanders and his space wolves, with bjorn having been asleep during discussion, roaring out curses that the salamanders would betray the wolves. An entirely banterous match where we had LOADS of fun. THAT is the hobby, the humour the rolls, the excited anticipation then the gasps and laughs as the vindicare assassin misses every shot he makes for an entire game. You and folxs like you, with such a MIGHTY passion got me into this hobby. My partner and I are painting Leviathan together, me and my marines, her n her lil bug babies. Im glad to share such a pass tome with so many good folks
Ahh Balders.. Thank you good sir.. Your heart, good will and positivity you put into words and share like this.. You're a good soul my friend.. One of the best kinds.. I don't quite have as skillful a way with words perhaps.. But your message.. It's my message too brother.. My life's not perfect.. I'm not perfect, no-one is.. Nor should be or ever feel they have to be.. Life is a struggle at times, it throws challenges our way.. But always find a way to still be grateful.. An look on to be happy for it all.. Mixed bag as it can be at times!!.. And even when I'm not at my best in myself, spinning plates and dealing with life the best i can.. I still go out of my way to help people, support and encourage them, check in on friends and family.. Be there for people in big ways or even just the littlest ways.. If i see that i can maybe do some good.. I feel i have to try!!.. As a youngster.. The saying "Giving is it's own reward" was lost on me.. But now, as man who's grown and matured.. Known good and the bad.. As a parent now too.. Oh how i understand the beauty and love in saying!.. That attitude to life.. I know what the reward is full well now.. It's knowing rather than doing nothing, you try instead.. However you can.. You try to help, spread good, you try to make the world a better place.. My soul knows the reward.. As i humbly feel a better, and healthier person in return.. For trying.. So as i say.. It's heartwarming to hear and see another good natured soul on that very same journey!.. Thank you again Balders.. For the content.. For the pure heart and passion you want to share.. 😊😎👊👊👊
Wonderful Video, especially the ending. I've been playing since the change of the millennium, having picked it up during my first year the military. I still have some second hand marines from that original boxed set in my army, a squad of beakies that were handed down to me as part of my cobbled together starter force. I've always found the hobby a great way to take a vacation from the troubles of the real world, to spend some time with friends, or to just quietly sit and keep both my hands and mind busy when things felt overwhelming. As always, thank you for bringing this shared world of our to life so beautifully.
One of your best ever! I've become a huge beaky fan and even got into 30k because of the iconic-looking Age of Darkness models. Keep up the great work!
Aww Baldy I adore you, especially the gush-athon, you geniuenly described the 40k community and that's why I adore it. Because sometimes you just need to chill and relax and most importanly of all. IT IS FUN. So we can forget our woes and bask in absolutely badass and hardcore Sci-Fi.
I feel you sir - fist space hulk in 88 and then my first space wolves as Ragnar and Ulrich were first introduced in I think 92. I have loved this hobby for three decades and I relish your enjoyment with me sir ! Bless you 🙏
I came here for the lore but have been inspired and touched by your wise and sage words on ones life and how to go about it. Beautiful. It has been a long time since I heard your video(I am busy painting of course!) and how I have missed it. Thank you for being such a positive person, inspiring us like the tales of the heroes you narrate. I do hope I get to meet you one day, even though I live on the other side of the pond and to the north of that. And yes, listening to you while painting or sculpting, is a lot of fun! Toodeloo! AR
Loved this video. My favourite pattern of armour going back in the day. I remember the 30 marine boxes. Loved Rogue Trader. So many memories. I salute you sir. I even liked the video before I watched it. I knew it would be good.
I think I just found my clone - had a few people say I sounded similar to you; you definatly sound like a wiser version of me! Peace Brother! May the Emperor guide your steps!
Your narration commands right away , then one follows the waves . 😊 The combat stories are always well described which keeps my attention until the end . Good show man , good show . But remember you're youth becomes the future in new , as to never be forgotten like 40k the gravel in the foundation . 40k has now got it's stride and like you deserves it's due .
Well presented, as always, Sir. Definitely appreciated the message at the end as it served as a reminder to myself to do what I love and leave the rest behind.
Can't find both the money and the people to play the game with, but I can watch these videos. It is a silly and wonderful universe, filled to the brim with "borrowed" ideas and concepts, but ultimately too interesting to walk away from. I do very much enjoy these stories, thank you for your efforts, Mr. Baldemort.
Don't know why YT is sending me notifications so late but there's worse ways to spend the rest of the morning after the early shift. Emperor protect the humble one.
Great video mucker, your best yet. Took me back to the early 90's, saw the box in a local model shop and begged my dad to buy it for me. Have still got some half painted bits in my box of gubbins. And now I have to go listen to Remember you're a Womble 'cause it's in my head, you git. 😁
Thanks for another amazing video sir not in to the games but the books and now that I found your channel Warhammer is definitely my favorite series and you are definitely the best of the best when it comes to story telling. You my friend are a gentleman and a scholar 👏👏👏
Jeepers! I’m so sorry I missed this previously. Ye gads brother Vyndaio! Make sure you are ok. Have all your toys. I am amazingly, astonishingly, utterly floored by your astounding generosity! Thank you so much for it. *bows low and long to brother Vyndaio*
My first intro to Warhammer 40k was a White Dwarf magazine and the story of Konrad Curze. I I have loved the look of the Night Lords ever since. My first box of Space Marines was in the dying days of the local hobby store, the Crimson Castle, and it was a box of Blood Angles. I had also at some point gotten an old figure of the Raven Guard’s Shrike. These became my first Night Lords, modified heavily with bits from Warhammer Fantasy to make them look the spooky part. I used Bretonian helmets for my marines, and this likely the reason I love the look of MK3 Iron armor so much. I made a story for these marines that they were loyalists cast out by the chaos of the Heresy. I couldn’t stomach chaos then and I am even more of a loyalist of the Imperium now. My friends have heard Ave Imperator, Gloria In Excelcius Terra more than they wish. Wonderful video while I plan DND night and to throw some vampires at my players.
Sage advice there at the end, thank you. I completed my first mini today, a Necron from the intro to 40k 2 piece package. Sadly, the marine broke. Looking at the little piece of plastic I put so much effort into (and listened to several of your videos while painting, I'm a very slow painter..) I can't help but better understand the enthusiasm for the hobby. I hope I get the chance to acquire and paint a beaky marine or two in the future.
Brother Baldermort. I know this is going to be a long one. so I will say sorry now and assure you some coin for your time. My thoughts on your advice at the end of the video. I am relatively new to the 40k universe, even though it has been out for so long. I'm about the same age as the IP and did not find it until about 5 yrs ago. I spend considerable time consuming content and really enjoy it. If or when that changes then I will as well. I hope you take your own advice as well, brother. It's more than a game for fun when your invested at the level you are. It is easy to stop enjoying something if it is all you consume. I have no doubt the amount of time and effort put into your channel is taxing. I cannot imagine how much time you have spent just in the comment sections of your videos. That in itself blows my mind. But you do, and have real responses to them. Community interaction with substance is rare to see. This and the level of personal touch you put into your content is the reason it shines. People that are enjoying this IP have many great options to immerse themselves with it. I get DEEP in all of them. The unique presentations of other channels are the best part for me. Only a few have that "extra" that I look for. The amount of time spent on just the Thaddeus playlist is what I'm referring to. This is 100% fan written, lore accurate, and an excellent story. I would buy a physical copy of this book I enjoy it that much. No other creators take it to that level on a consistent basis. I do enjoy their content as well, but I appreciate that "extra" you do. I absolutely do not enjoy Audible book reads. They are over produced garbage. I don't want a different person reading the part of another character in a storyline. I want the narrator to augment his tone to suit. Like I would if I were reading it myself. Audible is equal to listening to a movie. So many comments stating that "you need to be working at GW or Audible." Something to that effect, on every one of your videos. Im sure you appreciate the compliment. But you sir, are the compliment. Greater than GW or Audible could ever be added to a resume . So what I'm getting at is If you start to not "enjoy" this IP. I hope you take your own advice. I would hate to see it effect the quality of your work and your personal happiness. Besides, I am sure you could branch out on any other IP that you enjoy and succeed there as well. Your content will be available for the world to enjoy far longer than a life lived. Or until the dark age of technology at least. Lol. Thank you for all you do, Josh Sickels
Thank you so much, yet again, brother Sickels. I’ve considered doing book readings, as the long source material reads I do gain a lot of positive feedback, but I’m actually not very good at it. I find their language difficult to read out, as I’d wager none of them actually attempt to read it out whine writing. Or they’d not make the same mistakes most do when just writing. I also considered doing lots more sound effects etc. but I tend to think that you are right. Minimalism allows those to get into the tale? And I’d not really want to work at others pace again. This channel takes nearly all of my time. So it would be a trial and the it would be a grind, which would kill my enjoyment. Thank you for all of your generosity of finances, of course! But also that you see the honest attempt at just having something fun in to listen to. It takes time alright. And it’s awesome you ‘get it’. Thank you!!! *bows to brother Sickels yet again* (But please make sure you have everything you need before donating. I cannot thank you enough, so make sure it doesn’t mess you up. That would kill me.
Omg only just realized how many more videos of your's I've got left to watch made my day you're definitely my favorite 40k chanel keep up the good work and look forward to hearing many more stories from you and thanks for the education in the lore 😁🤘✌️
Speaking of influences in creating Warhammer 40k, the amount of parallels to Dune is incredible. You have a titled God-Emperor, esoteric elite cults of space navigators, a religious dogmatic ban on AI after a fall from a golden age, and all of the best fighters come from the Death-worlds. It's very cool.
I remember finding Warhammer 40k. I found it through fantasy at first, but heard about Commissars, looked them up here, and found your video. It was.. an eye opening introduction, without a doubt, but I've been with it for about 2-3 years now, and your final message both expresses how I feel about the hobby, and perfectly explains how we should all engage with it. It's just a damn good time, and if it ain't for you, feel free to look elsewhere. More grimdark for me
Well that was extremely enjoyable and the bit at the end baldermort you are truly gifted always really enjoy your videos while painting since I got back into the hobby 😊
I have always loved the Adeptus Mechanicus. They may be less competitive, but they speak to my inner fanatic. I love the lore and the books. Enjoy what you like and run with it. Again, kudos to you (my servoskull muse) for your insight and eloquence. I may not even inform the Inquisition of your occasional heresy...
Good advice. Walked away from 15 years of fantasy when it turned into AOS. That hurt but it made room to learn about 40k. My son and I are starting our first army together. God closed a door and opened a window.
I don’t like that GW retconned Mark VI to be the most common armour by the end of the Heresy. I still like the Beakie, but it think it was better served as being a “specialist” set instead of mainline
Corvus has always been my favourite….probably cos it’s the one I bought numerous boxes of 30 marines for £10 Thank you for the gushing part you summed up my entire childhood and into my 20’s times and friends now sadly gone
It's always a very pleasant listening to you , Baldermort , a great story and a bit of well told lore,.. Edit : ,...and, apparently , a bit of philosophical reminiscence too . 😃.

The Mark 6 power armour was the first pattern for the very first space marine models released for warhammer 40,000.
There is important lore on how and why they were made,
but I also go into a brief note on when it came out and Rogue Trader the first edition of Warhammer 40K.
The story at the start is just fan fiction and never ever to be considered cannon.

I loved the outro! Everything you said about “the fun” I heard in your Nightslords voice. 😈 😂
Thanks for that message at the end. I don't know how many people needed to hear that, but I wish it was said more often. Great work as always Baldermort. Don't let our demands keep you from doing what you have fun doing.
Thank you brother Rock. A lot!!!
Aye. I just feel I need to remind people every now and again that it’s meant to be relaxing. People get too close. :)
*bows to brother RockThekami*

The Beaky boys of The Raven Guard approve of this episode!
We need more models 😢
We do!
True. :(
A Raven Guard chaplain model would be good
That little speech at the end there, man, all the feels at once. Beakie superiority forever.
Mk6 represents such a happy time, entering this hobby, the excitement of Rogue Trader, and its nostalgia means more to me than any other MK could ever get close to.
If I'm not mistaken, the primaris Ravenguard had their helms modified or a new helmet made. Forgeworld upgrades.
@@AzrealMaximus very wise!
The way you talk about 40k, the fun and engagement and the sense of how much you love it really is just so infectious. Master storyteller, thank you for sharing your feelings on this fun and fascinating hobby, and this video!
He is one of the reasons I have gotten back into it😅
I truly wish Baldermort was a narrator for BL on audible😔
The best space marine armour is called mark 11 plot armour.
🐈
AKA “Ultramar-pattern” Power Armor
Corvus ( beaky ) armour is the coolest thow. Nowt say's the emperor's angels of death then beaky marines.
Lol
It’s the most common, and most widespread.
Gentle storyteller, it pleases me to no end that Mark VI Corvus armor is your favorite - As a Raven Guard player in 30k, and a Raptors player in 40k, the humble beakie is a staple in all my Astartes forces!
Ayy another Sensible marine
Was so happy when the HH Mark VI box came out
That was the coldest finishing move I’ve ever heard in 40k, another banger story Baldy!
This MK6 was the hook for so many of us that jumped into this wonderful game. Mk6 has always been my favorite. A most splendid video Baldermort. 👍❤
A fantastic video Baldermort, thank you for giving us some more Power Armor goodness, you really knock it out of the ball park with the Power Armor Lore!
Thanks dude. :) ;)
@@Baldermort absolutely!
Bravo Sir!!!
The Corvus Power Armor is perhaps one of the most ironic armors that the Space Marines have ever worn in their ten thousand years of service within the Imperium, and while many new power armor were later created in the Emperor service it was this beak helmeted armor that shaped assault squads for many generations.
Came for the lore by Brother Balders (as always), but stayed for the absolutely beautiful life lesson at the end. Thank you, Balders. ❤️
A fine video with a beautiful message, it is good to see in this day and age that people still remember the core of 40k is just dumb fun.
I wonder how many times a space marine used the beak of their helms to peck an enemy to death
More times than they’ll admit to… Allegedly.
As often as possible!
You just know the Raven Guard made this SOP
The Raven Guard definitely use it to go for the eyes.
Engaging Woodpecker protocol.
*power beakie activates*
Thanks! I can't understate how much the last part of the video hits home. I needed that so badly. Thank you baldermort.
Thank YOU brother Cunningham.
*bows to brother Cunningham*
That whole ending almost brought me to tears, I absolutely love your take and way of putting the hobby as a whole
Even if one does not play Warhammer 40K, one can appreciate the time and care that goes into painting and creating the armies.
I'm a huge fan of the Mark 3 Iron armor. It just looks so angry!
Hey there, Baldermort, I don't know if you'll read this, but I'd like to let you know I eagerly await every video you put out. I have exactly zero experience in the actual tabletop and figurines, but your storytelling and world building bridges the gap for me. So I thank you. With regards, your eager subscriber. You are one of the few channels I give that coveted Bell notification.
Thank ye kindly brother. Means the world to me.
(I read a LOT of comments. I just can’t respond to all. Time.)
I do so love these very human moments at the end of your videos. I find them just as enthralling and thought-provoking as your fanfictions themselves.
Thank you for another remarkable banquet on this Friday evening, my soul is more than satisfied.
Baldermort, fantastic story, and background as always, but can i please express my utmost joy and thanks for the true message towards the end of this video, it has brought me to blissfully happy tears tears and allowed me to feel such pride for what i and we hold so dearly.
Thankyou. Bravo, and thankyou.
-Mat
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
BEEN WAITING FOR THE CONTINUATION OF THIS ARMOR SERIES!
As ever, Baldermort sprinkles eloquence on a video and demonstrates his mastery of drama and raw vocal power. We salute your knowledge and flair. 07
Excellent video as always Baldy.
Your ending monologue though, chefs kiss. This is our hobby and everyones. Enjoy it and let the stories of war on and off the tabletop rival that which the likes of The Black Library publishes.
Watched until the very end, and I can also say yes. Why have a hobby if it brings you no joy?
One of if not the best looking helmet designs and a marvel of technology. The Mk VI has earned its favour from the raven. Sleek, predatory, and the herald of doom for countless foes. Even the brutes of the orks know the space marines by its shape and power. I do wish that as time marches on and new armour marks arise, we see the Beakie continue to endure and survive, much like the man and legion it is names after - even if they are scant few and we as hobbyists much scavenge and customise our models.
Lore, enthusiasm, perspective, and a plea for fun *and* reason.
Preach on, wise servo-skull.
My favourite chapter of Sensible Marines getting some love again, on top of the fuzzy nostalgic feeling I get whenever I see the beaky plate. Takes me back decades to my childhood when I was first getting into 40k. A timeless classic, more iconic than any new armour can be, all presented by my favourite narrator. You always find the best artwork too! Today is a good day.
Thank you so much for this. I very recently got back into the hobby, focusing on Horus Heresy, but was a player back in 2nd edition, I even have some Rogue Trader era models knocking around. This video, the message at the end... thank you for articulating these feelings
Beakies my beloved.
Another absolute BANGER from our man Baldemort. Your content is up there with the best of the best.
Love that last message. Grew up alongside Warhammer but literally never entered my "vision" until 2017 with Total War Warhammer. Jumped in proper in 2019...just in time for the Pandemic. My Age of Sigmar side project became my main focus after doubling down on Brood Brothers saw me enter 9th edition with half a Genestealer army and half a Guard army and no passion for either. Tried to get onboard with the Asuryani and Corsairs...but despite investing treasure and time...they spark no joy.
Now here I sit on a hot day listening to your proclamation of fun and I have my first eBay acquisition in front of me. 5 Infernus Marines. I avoided Marines this long for a myriad of reasons, but mostly for what you touched on: fear. Fear of what others would say/think. But 2023 is now the year I open my home to the Covenant of Fire Chapter and I'm as excited for them as I was my first box of Neophyte Hybrids or Lumineth Bladelords.
Life is too short to dwell on the negative.
Wow, baldy. the closing part hit home. Thank you for that perspective. I needed that.
Thank you for all your efforts on giving us so much, Sir Baldy! I listen to your stories on the construction site, it makes work so much more enjoyable
Fantastic video, and absolutely love your take at the end on FOMO/FOWAB! What a great way to close out the video!
Always a treat when I listen to new lore education from you Baldermort. Plus told in such an amazing style and in your Godly voice. Thank you for your work!!
Another amazing video my good man, looking forward to more from my favorite Warhammer channel.
That ending sums up exactly how i feel about it......play for fluff and fun and beware of the company's business strategies. Imaginative fun with friends is the point right? The rules conveyor belt is a thing. Bravo Bauldy very well said 👏 👏 👏
How did this video sneak past me? Beaks for life! 😊
Thank you for another inspirational video. It's down to you and your fellow creators that I have taken my first steps to get back in the game!!
Welcome back to warhammer!!
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😎
What a beautiful video. Not only was the lore fantastic, that bit at the end of how Warhammer has evolved from the og days till today & advice to keep it fun made me realise that this man Baldermort really is a pillar of the community.
Yes! I've been waiting for you to cover my favorite pattern of power armor since I started watching your content. Thank you!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
If I could get GW to grant me a few wishes, the first thing I'd ask for is Gabriel Seth in terminator armor wearing his Predecessor's chain fists going berserk on a swarm of tyranids. I'm genuinely a hopeful person and think we'll see Seth in terminator armor one day. Would you happen to know why no Flesh Eater chapter master has worn terminator armor since Nassir Amit?
The weekend is here, boom, Lord Baldermort delivers a treat 🔥
Writing as I listen to the end of the video. I always love hearing the passion in your voice when talking about the hobby. We all need a Baldy one in our lives, in any of our hobbies.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Great video man . very nice art used . i hope we get some Dark Eldar Eldar or Necron lore videos soon
I remember seeing Warhammer at the local hobby shop and falling in love. But I had no money and no friends that played it. Then early 90's Bolt Thrower came out with Realm of Chaos and I fell in love with them. I always knew a surface scratching of the lore but only recently dove more into the lore. Channels like this that also explore fan fiction is what it's all about. RPG's and table top games are about telling stories and having fun with friends.
Another amazing linguistic feast to devour! Thanks for making it fun 🤩
The og loremaster presenting the og corvis armour. Perfect end to the long work week my friend hope all is well glad you're back friend
Is it the best armor? Probably not. Is it my favorite? Absolutely.
Thank you for this gorgeous video Baldermort. I loved the lore of the mkvi
But your discussion of THE HOBBY!
I fully agree thank you for, as always, making me feel good to be apart of this hobby.
If I may, I have a story from a game I played of 10th edition last night.
My opponent was stressed, anxious and panicked, bless him. By the end of the night we were red in the face from laughter, at his tragic rolls bsr bjorn the fell handed who swept many of my units, we jokeeld it was a training contest between my salamanders and his space wolves, with bjorn having been asleep during discussion, roaring out curses that the salamanders would betray the wolves.
An entirely banterous match where we had LOADS of fun. THAT is the hobby, the humour the rolls, the excited anticipation then the gasps and laughs as the vindicare assassin misses every shot he makes for an entire game.
You and folxs like you, with such a MIGHTY passion got me into this hobby.
My partner and I are painting Leviathan together, me and my marines, her n her lil bug babies. Im glad to share such a pass tome with so many good folks
Now THAT is what it’s about. The fun!!!!
Thanks for taking the time out to relate that tale. It makes all the difference.
Welcome to warhammer. :) :)
Ahh Balders..
Thank you good sir..
Your heart, good will and positivity you put into words and share like this..
You're a good soul my friend..
One of the best kinds..
I don't quite have as skillful a way with words perhaps..
But your message..
It's my message too brother..
My life's not perfect..
I'm not perfect, no-one is..
Nor should be or ever feel they have to be..
Life is a struggle at times, it throws challenges our way..
But always find a way to still be grateful..
An look on to be happy for it all..
Mixed bag as it can be at times!!..
And even when I'm not at my best in myself, spinning plates and dealing with life the best i can..
I still go out of my way to help people, support and encourage them, check in on friends and family..
Be there for people in big ways or even just the littlest ways..
If i see that i can maybe do some good..
I feel i have to try!!..
As a youngster..
The saying "Giving is it's own reward" was lost on me..
But now, as man who's grown and matured..
Known good and the bad..
As a parent now too..
Oh how i understand the beauty and love in saying!..
That attitude to life..
I know what the reward is full well now..
It's knowing rather than doing nothing, you try instead..
However you can..
You try to help, spread good, you try to make the world a better place..
My soul knows the reward..
As i humbly feel a better, and healthier person in return..
For trying..
So as i say..
It's heartwarming to hear and see another good natured soul on that very same journey!..
Thank you again Balders..
For the content..
For the pure heart and passion you want to share..
😊😎👊👊👊
Wonderful Video, especially the ending. I've been playing since the change of the millennium, having picked it up during my first year the military. I still have some second hand marines from that original boxed set in my army, a squad of beakies that were handed down to me as part of my cobbled together starter force. I've always found the hobby a great way to take a vacation from the troubles of the real world, to spend some time with friends, or to just quietly sit and keep both my hands and mind busy when things felt overwhelming. As always, thank you for bringing this shared world of our to life so beautifully.
you're passion for Warhammer is infectious. Thanks again
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
One of your best ever! I've become a huge beaky fan and even got into 30k because of the iconic-looking Age of Darkness models. Keep up the great work!
Aww Baldy I adore you, especially the gush-athon, you geniuenly described the 40k community and that's why I adore it. Because sometimes you just need to chill and relax and most importanly of all. IT IS FUN. So we can forget our woes and bask in absolutely badass and hardcore Sci-Fi.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I feel you sir - fist space hulk in 88 and then my first space wolves as Ragnar and Ulrich were first introduced in I think 92. I have loved this hobby for three decades and I relish your enjoyment with me sir ! Bless you 🙏
I came here for the lore but have been inspired and touched by your wise and sage words on ones life and how to go about it. Beautiful. It has been a long time since I heard your video(I am busy painting of course!) and how I have missed it. Thank you for being such a positive person, inspiring us like the tales of the heroes you narrate. I do hope I get to meet you one day, even though I live on the other side of the pond and to the north of that. And yes, listening to you while painting or sculpting, is a lot of fun!
Toodeloo!
AR
That last bit brought a tear to my eye. Makes me love my hobby again
These guys are what got me into miniature gaming all those years ago.
Once again, you impress me! Loved the background music. The message at the end was outstanding! I wish more people had that mindset.
Loved this video. My favourite pattern of armour going back in the day. I remember the 30 marine boxes. Loved Rogue Trader. So many memories. I salute you sir. I even liked the video before I watched it. I knew it would be good.
A great bit of advice at the end Baldi
So thank YOU for being one of the most fun aspects of the hobby
Loved listening to this one while I was cooking today! Your short stories are so captivating! Thanks for all your hard work!
Brilliant video, definitely my favorite pattern as well. Well done making an entire vid on it
I think I just found my clone - had a few people say I sounded similar to you; you definatly sound like a wiser version of me!
Peace Brother! May the Emperor guide your steps!
Thank you to our faithful servant. Your closing message was spot on.
I love the wise nostalgia as much as the lore about the power armour 😊
Your narration commands right away , then one follows the waves . 😊 The combat stories are always well described which keeps my attention until the end . Good show man , good show . But remember you're youth becomes the future in new , as to never be forgotten like 40k the gravel in the foundation . 40k has now got it's stride and like you deserves it's due .
man that was so very good!
This and the mark V armor are my favorites. I like the scrappy feel and look of the mark V and the sleek efficient look of the mark VI
Well presented, as always, Sir. Definitely appreciated the message at the end as it served as a reminder to myself to do what I love and leave the rest behind.
Can't find both the money and the people to play the game with, but I can watch these videos. It is a silly and wonderful universe, filled to the brim with "borrowed" ideas and concepts, but ultimately too interesting to walk away from. I do very much enjoy these stories, thank you for your efforts, Mr. Baldemort.
Don't know why YT is sending me notifications so late but there's worse ways to spend the rest of the morning after the early shift. Emperor protect the humble one.
Great video and words of wisdom about life. I hope there will be videos for the rest of the Marks of armor up to the 42nd millennia.
My Man! Well said.
Thank you good sir.
*bows to brother Brenton*
Great video mucker, your best yet.
Took me back to the early 90's, saw the box in a local model shop and begged my dad to buy it for me. Have still got some half painted bits in my box of gubbins.
And now I have to go listen to Remember you're a Womble 'cause it's in my head, you git. 😁
Great video and i love your accurate account of the differences between the legions and chapters.
The last 8-10 minutes are the best. Well said sir
The end of this was profoundly good advice for young and old. Thanks!!
Thanks for another amazing video sir not in to the games but the books and now that I found your channel Warhammer is definitely my favorite series and you are definitely the best of the best when it comes to story telling. You my friend are a gentleman and a scholar 👏👏👏
Thanks for the amazing content!
Jeepers! I’m so sorry I missed this previously.
Ye gads brother Vyndaio! Make sure you are ok. Have all your toys. I am amazingly, astonishingly, utterly floored by your astounding generosity! Thank you so much for it.
*bows low and long to brother Vyndaio*
damn that speech at the end 😢😢😢
Love you brother baldi!!!
My first intro to Warhammer 40k was a White Dwarf magazine and the story of Konrad Curze. I I have loved the look of the Night Lords ever since. My first box of Space Marines was in the dying days of the local hobby store, the Crimson Castle, and it was a box of Blood Angles. I had also at some point gotten an old figure of the Raven Guard’s Shrike. These became my first Night Lords, modified heavily with bits from Warhammer Fantasy to make them look the spooky part. I used Bretonian helmets for my marines, and this likely the reason I love the look of MK3 Iron armor so much. I made a story for these marines that they were loyalists cast out by the chaos of the Heresy. I couldn’t stomach chaos then and I am even more of a loyalist of the Imperium now. My friends have heard Ave Imperator, Gloria In Excelcius Terra more than they wish.
Wonderful video while I plan DND night and to throw some vampires at my players.
Loved the gush part of the video,very uplifting and inspiring 😊
Sage advice there at the end, thank you. I completed my first mini today, a Necron from the intro to 40k 2 piece package. Sadly, the marine broke. Looking at the little piece of plastic I put so much effort into (and listened to several of your videos while painting, I'm a very slow painter..) I can't help but better understand the enthusiasm for the hobby. I hope I get the chance to acquire and paint a beaky marine or two in the future.
Brother Baldermort. I know this is going to be a long one. so I will say sorry now and assure you some coin for your time. My thoughts on your advice at the end of the video. I am relatively new to the 40k universe, even though it has been out for so long. I'm about the same age as the IP and did not find it until about 5 yrs ago. I spend considerable time consuming content and really enjoy it. If or when that changes then I will as well. I hope you take your own advice as well, brother. It's more than a game for fun when your invested at the level you are. It is easy to stop enjoying something if it is all you consume. I have no doubt the amount of time and effort put into your channel is taxing. I cannot imagine how much time you have spent just in the comment sections of your videos. That in itself blows my mind. But you do, and have real responses to them. Community interaction with substance is rare to see. This and the level of personal touch you put into your content is the reason it shines. People that are enjoying this IP have many great options to immerse themselves with it. I get DEEP in all of them. The unique presentations of other channels are the best part for me. Only a few have that "extra" that I look for. The amount of time spent on just the Thaddeus playlist is what I'm referring to. This is 100% fan written, lore accurate, and an excellent story. I would buy a physical copy of this book I enjoy it that much. No other creators take it to that level on a consistent basis. I do enjoy their content as well, but I appreciate that "extra" you do. I absolutely do not enjoy Audible book reads. They are over produced garbage. I don't want a different person reading the part of another character in a storyline. I want the narrator to augment his tone to suit. Like I would if I were reading it myself. Audible is equal to listening to a movie. So many comments stating that "you need to be working at GW or Audible." Something to that effect, on every one of your videos. Im sure you appreciate the compliment. But you sir, are the compliment. Greater than GW or Audible could ever be added to a resume . So what I'm getting at is If you start to not "enjoy" this IP. I hope you take your own advice. I would hate to see it effect the quality of your work and your personal happiness. Besides, I am sure you could branch out on any other IP that you enjoy and succeed there as well. Your content will be available for the world to enjoy far longer than a life lived. Or until the dark age of technology at least. Lol.
Thank you for all you do,
Josh Sickels
Thank you so much, yet again, brother Sickels.
I’ve considered doing book readings, as the long source material reads I do gain a lot of positive feedback, but I’m actually not very good at it. I find their language difficult to read out, as I’d wager none of them actually attempt to read it out whine writing. Or they’d not make the same mistakes most do when just writing.
I also considered doing lots more sound effects etc. but I tend to think that you are right. Minimalism allows those to get into the tale?
And I’d not really want to work at others pace again. This channel takes nearly all of my time. So it would be a trial and the it would be a grind, which would kill my enjoyment.
Thank you for all of your generosity of finances, of course! But also that you see the honest attempt at just having something fun in to listen to. It takes time alright. And it’s awesome you ‘get it’.
Thank you!!!
*bows to brother Sickels yet again*
(But please make sure you have everything you need before donating. I cannot thank you enough, so make sure it doesn’t mess you up. That would kill me.
Omg only just realized how many more videos of your's I've got left to watch made my day you're definitely my favorite 40k chanel keep up the good work and look forward to hearing many more stories from you and thanks for the education in the lore 😁🤘✌️
Speaking of influences in creating Warhammer 40k, the amount of parallels to Dune is incredible. You have a titled God-Emperor, esoteric elite cults of space navigators, a religious dogmatic ban on AI after a fall from a golden age, and all of the best fighters come from the Death-worlds. It's very cool.
Thanks Baldermort. I've always enjoyed it when the good guys can tweak the villain's nose
I don't comment a lot on videos. Your final thoughts were beautiful. Thank you.
Thank you for taking the time out to comment brother Jordan. Means a lot. Thank you.
I remember finding Warhammer 40k. I found it through fantasy at first, but heard about Commissars, looked them up here, and found your video. It was.. an eye opening introduction, without a doubt, but I've been with it for about 2-3 years now, and your final message both expresses how I feel about the hobby, and perfectly explains how we should all engage with it. It's just a damn good time, and if it ain't for you, feel free to look elsewhere. More grimdark for me
Well that was extremely enjoyable and the bit at the end baldermort you are truly gifted always really enjoy your videos while painting since I got back into the hobby 😊
I have always loved the Adeptus Mechanicus. They may be less competitive, but they speak to my inner fanatic.
I love the lore and the books. Enjoy what you like and run with it.
Again, kudos to you (my servoskull muse) for your insight and eloquence. I may not even inform the Inquisition of your occasional heresy...
"a hell hole covered in sparklers." Brilliant! Thank you! The nostalgia of those 80's packs. . . . . "sigh". Again, thank you!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Good advice. Walked away from 15 years of fantasy when it turned into AOS. That hurt but it made room to learn about 40k. My son and I are starting our first army together. God closed a door and opened a window.
I don’t like that GW retconned Mark VI to be the most common armour by the end of the Heresy.
I still like the Beakie, but it think it was better served as being a “specialist” set instead of mainline
Corvus has always been my favourite….probably cos it’s the one I bought numerous boxes of 30 marines for £10
Thank you for the gushing part you summed up my entire childhood and into my 20’s times and friends now sadly gone
Nice way to polish off a busy Friday! Cheers Baldy!
It's always a very pleasant listening to you , Baldermort , a great story and a bit of well told lore,..
Edit : ,...and, apparently , a bit of philosophical reminiscence too . 😃.
