No Abandon is going to take his ball and hit you in the face.
The chronicler seems a lot more vehemently anti-alien in the last few videos. Clearly someone had a productive conversation with the Ordo Xenos.
The Remembrancer has ALWAYS been anti-Xenos as far as I am aware, though I've only been acquainted with him for the past year or so, and cannot vouch for him beyond that.
Rayce Archer He truly is blessed with clarity...abhor the Xeno, the witch and the heretic, never flater citizen.
Having to stare into the depths of Commorragh for that long will do that to you...
While the Xenos is dangerous and must be abhored. I think it is the Daemon that is the true threat that must be confronted.
Beware the alien,the mutant, the heretic - Ordo Maleous
The Blackstone Fortresses were build by a mighty company whose origin is dating back to M3 in order to store endless amounts of plastic models and plot armour

We are the Imperial Navy!"- Admiral Spire 19XM41
Dear chronicler,
I wish to pose an inquiry that confused me to no end. I was led to believe that Port Maw was, like the fortresses, of unknown Xenos origin, merely finished by construction of Imperial superstructure upon the Xenos-made core. Could you clear this confusion.

Magos Bondrewd-4519 of Manufactorum Cinis Corvus, Stygies VIII
it was made by humanity during the dark age but never finished iirc
The_Drop Bear Could you provide me a source on that? I’d be delighted to expand my knowledge on this subject.
Every time I have a really shitty day or have to wait for someone for an long time (like in this damn moment) I get a notigication that OI has uploaded a new vid. My day just gets better each time. We are truely blessed by the Emperor.
You are the first one I know that is doing this. Even Arch never explained this O.O. Thank you so much for thsi!!!
Arch is terrible tbh
Damo2690 and alt-right...
Just because Arch is not a communist or socialist does not mean he is alt-right.
@@insanehippiehippieinsane3828 reeeeee
@@Damo2690 And why do you think that?
Oh wow. Ah new intro. Nice work.
Do you think he’s actually sitting at a scribes desk with a calligraphic pen and parchment speaking into a vox-recorder as he writes and reads from his script.
Blessed be thyne fate chronicler, for your work delights us to no end
I love the way you said "Alliance".
Great channel mate, you really bring this universe to life. You would make a fantastic iterator to rival the renowned Kyril Sindermann with your voice both being silken and firm. I truly enjoy delving into the beautiful horror of the 40K universe through your oration. I hope to see this channel thrive and prosper and look forward to hearing your next soirèe of 40K knowledge.
Much adoration,
Jake.
Thanks a mil for taking the time to pass along these incredibly kind words Jake. Delighted you love the work
Another stellar video.
Pun absolutely intended.
Old video, new comment, but would love to see you squeeze more of these videos about the super mysterious and dark secrets of the ancient past of 40k in to your busy production schedule. Love all of your stuff but the videos about the War in Heaven, the Rangda, the Keys of Hel and that sort of stuff is underdiscussed and extremely interesting!
Loving your series about Calth!
So when the imperium found them the inquisition asked no questions why the fortresses looked like giant chaos symbols??
Blackstone fortresses are my favorite part of the lore for some reason.
Left overs from the War in Heaven
Have a care when speaking of the Inquisition. To speak of them is to gain their attention, and their work is to shield mankind from both external powers and internal failings.
THE INQUISITION-! (let's begin!) THE INQUISITION! (lookout sin!) We got a mission- to purge heretics....!
@@emperordave1184 Hey Torquemada, what do ya say?
quickly becoming one of the top warhammer lore channels
New Game; take a shot of "The Red Eye of Magnus" every time he says "blasphemous";)
I do need to refresh my 40k adjectives every now and again.
@@OculusImperia Truly Sir, and they are most wonderful adjectives indeed:)
Oculus Imperia you cannot go far wrong with any adjectives ending in “ous”.
Abhorrent, Deviant, Arrogant/Foolish, Filthy, Subhuman,even Nonhuman might work (depending on species); the way you manage to reliably load as much loathing and condescension on every Xeno-centric topic.
Love your work, Emperor protect (& all that)!
Is that just Fire Ball? Lol
Know then that I enjoy these musings!
Emperor Protects!
Thank you! I needed this
Happy to provide!
I LOVE your work, and the atmosphere that you create. KEEP GOING!
this is like Christmas morning thank you
May Emperor Protect you !!!, Great Work as always,txs 😎 !!!!.
So Good! These videos are THE most entertaining thing on youtube...... No exaggeration!
Another awesome video, I have told all my friends about your channel and they agree with me. Thank you for your hard work
Thanks so much for the shout outs! They go a long way :)
I just finished BFGA nice timing!
Its hard to remember that the videogames are actually canon. Glad to see them used as lore here!
Beautifully done. Love the new opening intro too
I wish i was into 40k when the whole 13th Black Crusade hit!
It must have been CRAZY! The biggest thing to have gone down while I've been a fan is the return of the Lion. And so far, he just came in at the tailend of the Arks of Omen and then there is Son of the Forest.
Great vid, love the style. Truly new content. Ave Imperator!
So the Gothic/ Baroque look is from millions of years before the Imperium..... odd.
Look at the black stone fortresses in the pc game battle fleet gothic, that is what the most recent interpretation of them is
Comment for the algorithm, skulls for the skull god!
Could you do a video on the word bearers legion
One imagines that Terrans do not refer to the God Emperor as "Him upon Terra." One can picture a common scene, cliche in its recurrence, where a newly arrived pilgrim uses those words, and a haughty Terran (secure in his pride over an offworkder, however lowly his birth) responds, "You are now upon Terra. Do not mistake yourself for _Him Upon the_ *Throne* "
Love the new intro:)
So do I! Myles is incredibly talented :)
The main weapon of a Blackstone would be the perfect anti-Tyranid weapon. Well, that is of course if it can pierce the Shadow in the Warp.
Last time I was this late I got child support checks in the mail as my alert
I'm disappointed. No "Cadia broke before the guard did" comments
This adds to the narrative of the game play
As always, another fantastic video.
Any plans on doing an Ultramarines version of Origins & History, followed up by a Tactics & Structure videos? Thanks in advance.
Nice intro. Good video.
Loved the content yet again. Thank you.
Great video and good work.
Nicely done
Love this channel.
Very lovecraftian. I solute you sir.
Love the new intro
Vile Xeno tech. how can one fortress cause so much damage to our galaxy?
Wonderful!
Thanks for the vid sir.
If I were the Inquisition - the first thing I'd do is send a senior Inquisitor of the Ordo Xenos with a full Kill Team and appropriately a partner Mechanicum group to conduct a real investigation. Oh...maybe Cawl will get along with that. Frankly I'd be tempted just to chuck it into the nearest star by any means necessary given that the Imperium's recent record with them is less than...stellar (ahahaha).
Ave buttstuff kaiju.
Thought: It might not be a new one. It could be one of the destroyed ones regenerating.
I'm a patreon from today 👍
Legend!
Interesting topic.
-"tips top hat"
Awesome
I'm wondering why an RPG video game based on exploring the Blackstone Fortress hasn't been made yet?
Of course- we now know that the Blackstone Fortresses were originally constructed by the *_(Redacted by The Ordo Xenos)_* for the purpose of *_(Redacted by The Ordo Xenos)_*
Another great video.
Why did the imperial ones disintegrate?
The artifacts in abbadons possession combined into a sort of "remote control" for the bsf's. If he could board one he would take control. However the self destruct command could be triggered from almost anywhere (hence why he parted so easily from one. It was never a threat to him).
@@Awesomotron2k no wait then how did the command reach the ones he didn't get?(or did he have every one under his command?)
Because they were blasphemous and heretical of course.
love your vids, keep it up 😎
Is there any particular reason that the BSF are fashioned like unto the Wheel of Chaos? Something that always rankled, that's all...
I think the black stone fortresses are maybe man of irn.
Dark angels lore and tactics etc ?
I bet the old ones evolved on earth during dino times
7:45 Oh no! Not the gays of the despoiler!
(4real though thanks for your great content been watching your content for years now, sry that my first comment is a shitpost)
You're writing these yourself or reading some of the 40k books?
I write my own scripts using sources drawn from Black Library and Games Workshop books :)
@@OculusImperia you have a talent for writing. Thank you for producing such a high quality content.
I always enjoy your videos even when the writing at GW has been absolute shit the past few years.
Our narrator seems the kind to see literally anything an alien makes as blasphemous and disgusting. Like, if Big Bobby G invited him to dinner at his necromancer elf GF's house, he'd be commenting on the "vile xeno's heretical spoon".
Like it's a compulsion, not even actively thought about. "Could you pass the *blasphemous xenos* butter?"
It's "Phaedus" Horst right? not "Thaddeus...
Engagement
more like Abbadon the Annoyance
Look, i know that chances of you ever reading this comment, let alone replying or acting on it, is minimal.....
But... how about a series on all of the different Black Crusades? With each one getting it's own episode.
Also, when are you getting back the Arks of Omen?? Your two videos on the first two books are definitive, as far as RUclips goes.
"Wahammer"
It's a bit much
The black fortresses...
And the new entity called blackstone fortress are not the same...
Not in kind and origin...
Thumb down.
Emperor Protects!
