Emperor bless you baldy, I'm sure you get tired of seeing it on every video, but I'll say it again. Thank you, I'll never be able to fit my appreciation for your work into this tiny box. But these videos help keep my irl cixatrix maledictum at bay. I truly appreciate the passion you bring to the universe.
Sergeant's are, I think, the soul of the squad. There loadout being more independent then their brothers, able to add that little more ranged fire power or have a melee weapon, acting as the squads "champion" back when challenges were a thing. Assembling the sergeant is often my favourite part of building a squad, choosing his gear and digging into my bit's boxes for that one little addition to mark them out from the others.
Sir Baldy! You may have just searched up "bridge near waterfall" pics, but thank you for choosing Multnomah Falls in my area! It is silly that it does so but it makes me proud that one of our little landmarks over here in Oregon made it into one of my favorite creators' vids!
Ahhh the Sgt. I loved the moments my Vet Sgts (Terminator Honors I think it was called back in the day) with a PF (either in Tac or Assault Squads) gave me. And how they'd insta death an HQ or rip out the engine of a vehicle. Good, glorious times.
Terminator Honours is like a medal or decoration; it's awarded to veteran Marines when they complete the training to use Tactical Dreadnought Armour...
Thank you for this! I've barely slept since Saturday, when I picked up my new puppy (Trazyn the Australian Shepherd). Your lore is perfect and your voice is soothing. I needed this.
I just figured "fear" as in Know No Fear is shorthand for cowardice. Oversimplificstion is common in the setting. After all, the Primordial annihilator is referred to simply as "chaos".
Yo, Baldy, can't tell you how much your narratives add to the richness of a proper gentleman's daily experience. Effort made is job 1. Pray, continue in the very best of health.
Thank you, Uncle Bald. You continue to be the greatest hobby audio for me to build my little army men to. I am forever grateful for your content, thank you for never giving up. 😊
Princepts of titans are rarer than marines old chap, you even had this in your great story about them😊 but I love your stories so much keep doing them you fantastic man you
We love you sir Baldy!! You who are blessed bring us these beautiful stories and moments. You get us through the difficult times and we can not thank you enough!! God bless you and your family and may the Emperor protect!
I was extremely excited to see a new Baldemort video, and to my surprise even more excited to see a shot of Multnomah Falls as the background image, that’s like 20 minutes from my house!
So happy to hear to hear the praise of the sergeants, the backbone of mankinds efforts. Also thanks to Baldermort's ever great stories and narrations!!!! and for not falling to the easy solution of shitty and inconsistent AI art that so many WH40K channels use now.
Excellent choice of material and coverage, and of course, wonderful story. The problem could have been solved with a bolter, but that wouldn't have satisfied honor or vengeance.
Love your dedication, because of it we have brilliant content! You keep very many people busy with your brilliance. We all love you and the gifts of videos you keep us happy with! ❤
As always a beautiful tale to work on minis too. You are what I consider the standard of a true bard, bringing to life with words places, people and things in our minds and hearts.
As you stated “Time for a little fun”. Thaddeus was brilliant! You are correct. Friday/Saturday is my time to switch off. Learn about humanity and graciously accept and revere your years of dedicated passion. Love to all the crew and family. Thank you @Baldermort you make my world a little less shit. Alex 💯❤️😈🤖💯🇬🇧🫡
Who needs a jump pack when one can pull a Space Wolves worthy display of bravado? Maybe one day we shall be blessed with an entry for the true lifeblood of any chapter, its serfs.
Hey, brother baldy. Another great story! Good to see lots of imagination, and hard work on all the videos and channels over the years. Hope you're having a fun.
Great video, I hope you continue this series as there are two ranks among the space marines that confuse me, the lieutenant and the veteran sergeant. Now the lieutenant I understand in theory, they are supposed to be the sub commanders of the company that become important if the captain wants to split up the company into smaller formations or take command if the captain dies. Yet, in practice, it more often than not seems as if sergeants almost always take that role with the rank of lieutenant more often than not going unacknowledged. Similarly, the rank of Veteran Sergeant seems to me like it would make the rank of lieutenant redundant since designating a senior sergeant would work just as well for establishing a sub-commander or successor in case the captain dies. What I’m asking is: Is there a nuance to these ranks between the sergeant and the captain that I miss and how come that the rank of lieutenant seems so rarely used in the lore?
My favourite quotes from my ex-military friends about Sergeant's "Don't call me Sir, I'm an NCO I work for a living" "That's the Sergeant....try not to piss him off you will regret it" As to what you read I know enough Sgt's who would have said, stay here I'll deal with this c*** put me a brew on I'll be back in five.
Fantastic thank you Baldermort, I am happy we could go back to the marine structures, I am that one guy that actually really likes the Primarius Lieutenant models, the Bladegaurd being one of my favorite models. But Sergeants are super cool. I am repainting a bunch of my Dark Angels so I should church up the sergeants a little! I am going to be sure to share this awesome video with all the new people I am going to meet at Adepticon net weekend. I am super pumped!
You make an interesting point in the conclusion: every SM is quite likely to make sergeant given enough time and opening slots. This contrasts with my experience and observations of real-life unenhanced 'mortal' militaries, and will inform my lore reading going forward.
It is said that the word "sergeant" is based on an ancient Latin word... for "babysitter". Consider the requirements necessary to keep base-level Astartes in-line.
Thanks for another great one which this time gives me the kick I need to get some illustrations done. With a Balders narration in my ears, I shall know no fear.
Without the Sergeants Space Marines Squad wouldn’t be as effective as the Codex states it could be. Sergeant are vital for the continue success of an war that a Chapter finds itself in, and make no mistake that it is a Sergeant decision and tactical input that makes it possible for a squad to turn the tide of the war.
Its descriptions like this, that each astartes is the equivalent of our era's legends, that make me more interested in my custom chapter than my original Tyranid army.
No one is more professional than I. I am a noncommissioned officer, a leader of Soldiers. As a noncommissioned officer, I realize that I am a member of a time honored corps, which is known as "The Backbone of the Army." I am proud of the Corps of Noncommissioned Officers, and will at all times conduct myself so as to bring credit upon the Corps, the military service, and my country; regardless of the situation in which I find myself. I will not use my grade or position to attain pleasure, profit, or personal safety. Competence is my watch-word. My two basic responsibilities will always be uppermost in my mind - accomplishment of my mission and the welfare of my Soldiers. I will strive to remain technically and tactically proficient. I am aware of my role as a noncommissioned officer, I will fulfill my responsibilities inherent in that role. All Soldiers are entitled to outstanding leadership; I will provide that leadership. I know my Soldiers, and I will always place their needs above my own. I will communicate consistently with my Soldiers, and never leave them uninformed. I will be fair and impartial when recommending both rewards and punishment. Officers of my unit will have maximum time to accomplish their duties; they will not have to accomplish mine. I will earn their respect and confidence as well as that of my Soldiers. I will be loyal to those with whom I serve; seniors, peers, and subordinates alike. I will exercise initiative by taking appropriate action in the absence of orders. I will not compromise my integrity, nor my moral courage. I will not forget, nor will I allow my comrades to forget that we are professionals, noncommissioned officers, leaders!

The Sergeant. AKA: "The Captain gives the command, this guy makes sure it gets done."
Only because the Marines do not have E4s... Of course, this spares them from the oddities and shenanigans of the E4 mafia!
Just make a decision Sir, we go left or right - the Staff Sgt Battlefield Los Angeles
@@hege6300 Is the E4 mafia a thing or just blown up by RUclipsrs?
@@tflwulf69oh it is ABSOLUTELY a thing.
A rough day at work, but a good day turns it all around.
The indomitable NCO, the hard ass backbone of any real military force...

Agreed. I always like adding a bit more to the Sgt. Give them some extra character and personality.

There is no more base level badass than a Space Marine Sergeant.
Ahhh the Sgt. I loved the moments my Vet Sgts (Terminator Honors I think it was called back in the day) with a PF (either in Tac or Assault Squads) gave me. And how they'd insta death an HQ or rip out the engine of a vehicle. Good, glorious times.

Thank you for this! I've barely slept since Saturday, when I picked up my new puppy (Trazyn the Australian Shepherd). Your lore is perfect and your voice is soothing. I needed this.
As an NCO in the military I can most identify with these guys.
Amazing video.
Tho. The image of the bridge and water fall caught me off guard “Multnomah falls bridge” loved going there as a kid.
It is always an enjoyment to hear your lore readings.
This is awesome, as a player with a new marines army this has been very informative
I just figured "fear" as in Know No Fear is shorthand for cowardice.
Oversimplificstion is common in the setting.
After all, the Primordial annihilator is referred to simply as "chaos".
Your lore telling is the best part of the day whenever you upload. 🙏🏿
Yo, Baldy, can't tell you how much your narratives add to the richness of a proper gentleman's daily experience. Effort made is job 1. Pray, continue in the very best of health.

Princepts of titans are rarer than marines old chap, you even had this in your great story about them😊 but I love your stories so much keep doing them you fantastic man you
One must wonder how Sergeants handle combat inside buildings when they've got those big banners attached to their backs.
Awww yisss, faithful Baldermort with just what I needed on the way home from work! ❤
A wonderful Friday indeed I hope all is well with your health my friend and hope all is well with family and all around you
Baldermort you wonderful man, thanks so much for all of your sterling work!
We love you sir Baldy!! You who are blessed bring us these beautiful stories and moments. You get us through the difficult times and we can not thank you enough!! God bless you and your family and may the Emperor protect!
Wut?

Fragging amazeballs. Refreshing. The Emperor may require details on more chapter sergeants. Before the Inquisition get me.....😁😁
Many thanx Grand Narrator.
May U continue to shine in the Emperor's light 👍👍
As always a beautiful tale to work on minis too. You are what I consider the standard of a true bard, bringing to life with words places, people and things in our minds and hearts.
Thank you for this Warhammer 40,000 tribute, this your weekly Warhammer 40,000 tribute.
As you stated “Time for a little fun”. Thaddeus was brilliant! You are correct. Friday/Saturday is my time to switch off. Learn about humanity and graciously accept and revere your years of dedicated passion.

Yes! Worth it for the fanfic alone.
❤ another amazing story big b and happy belated birthday
Hey, brother baldy. Another great story! Good to see lots of imagination, and hard work on all the videos and channels over the years. Hope you're having a fun.
Toughest... Warriors...Ever. Well done Brother B, as always:)
Baldermort never fails to amaze us!bravo!
Many thanks for this as ever Mr. B. The Sergeants really are the backbone of the Marines, leading by example. Best wishes from Kilkenny.
Great video, I hope you continue this series as there are two ranks among the space marines that confuse me, the lieutenant and the veteran sergeant.

A new video, gotta love it! Thank you for your work brother B! Have a great weekend
Thanks Baldermort

Thank you , Baldermort .

Thank you, Good Sir
Just amazing ❤ your voice is so perfect for Warhammer. I could listen for days. Love you!!
The glue that keeps the companies together
Story time with uncle Baldermort. 😊
Thanks!
Mmm. A delectable nugget of lore from Baldermort. Sergeants run the Army.
You make an interesting point in the conclusion: every SM is quite likely to make sergeant given enough time and opening slots. This contrasts with my experience and observations of real-life unenhanced 'mortal' militaries, and will inform my lore reading going forward.
Ah baldemort. The contractor on RUclips that I will sit down and listen to marine content, even as an avid xeno lover.
Love you Baldemort.
Thank you for introducing this chaotic world to me and my girlfriend.
It is said that the word "sergeant" is based on an ancient Latin word... for "babysitter". Consider the requirements necessary to keep base-level Astartes in-line.
Always a pleasure. Would love to sponsor one of your videos.
Nice reference to the white death
Thanks for another great one which this time gives me the kick I need to get some illustrations done. With a Balders narration in my ears, I shall know no fear.
You're the best man. Love your work.
love this like i needed another reason to love the Space Marines :D
Thank you, Sir, for another great video!
A captain and a lieutenant for a planet. That was very expensive.
Many thanks Balders.
Thank you uncle baldy, its nice to know you get it
Aoenid Theil. Sergeant. Marked for censure. Chad.
Nice story. Thank you for your information video
Wondaba as usual baldemort! my day has been made!
I gotta say Brother your videos always help me with my Homebrew i can honestly say without your videos there would be no Iron Strategoi
i misread that first and thought you was talking about a vampire strain lol
I bloody love this channel
As an actual ex sgt. Thank you for this one o7
A sonnet, like Shakespearian sonnet? That should be a patron thing
I don't know, Baldy! Grimdark Sonnets by Baldermort would be awesome!
We would like to hear that you're undergoing regular scheduled maintenance and renewal.
liked and responded to apeace the chaos god of weird methmatical expectations. Please keep up the good work.
Love you Unk.... No! LETS go Unk!!!! Never fold
Sarg...best friend in DT...worst enemy in combat assembly.
Cheers Balders.
Thank you for your greatness!

Why does the video on sergeants have a lieutenant as the thumbnail?
Thanks
Yesssssss!
Bravo 👏
EXELLENT!
How's this for a Chapter credo?
The galaxy is ever in motion...
So too, must we ever be.
Always gotta make time for fun 😁
Most important phrase in an army "carry on Sargent "
Its descriptions like this, that each astartes is the equivalent of our era's legends, that make me more interested in my custom chapter than my original Tyranid army.
Thanks for all you do
Every time I listen to this channel I picture the guy from Harry Potter who sells the wands as the voice 😅
amazing as always!
fkcing loved it balders
Hurrah!
good shit baldy

Baldermort, I don't know what it is but you always make really funny and entertaining extremely corrupt and arrogant politician characters.
