Reuben Ellis thank you, brother Rueben. But that quote was amazing. Damn I wish I had known that when writing this. Missed opportunity. Great quote! Thanks for listening. :).
You make a number of excellent points regarding the slow death of the Titan Legions. However. You fail to account for one thing. For the last ten thousand years, Roboute Guilliman has been gradually builidng up his legions of Primaris Titans in the Ultrafactories of Ultramar and stockpiling them in techno-tombs with Stasis-frozen Princeps. They're like regular titans, except bigger, and twice as durable, with cooler weapons (which they can't change out) and some of them can fly or peirce the earth with their drills. Naturally.
Thank you, brother Inignot. Its only my interpretation and it is rather a complicated issue I hope to wrestle with soon. I just think this is the easiest way to understand it as a snap-shot. :) Thanks for listening, brother. :)
I found your channel like a week ago, these videos are amazing. I can’t stop watching them. I recommending this channel to all my Warhammer friends! Keep up the great work.
There’s several excellent content creators in the W40K space but I think you’re the best story teller mate. You provide me confidence that my time will always be well spent. Thank you!
I didn't know that quote! Magnificently appropriate for this subject. You are a genius, brother. Thank you for that. I will be chortling for hours. Thank you for listening, as always Brother Wolfley. :)
@@baldermort Same situation here, I only just found out about your channel about 1 weeks ago, and a few days before that only just decided to look into the Warhammer 40k universe, with the thought of "you know what, I've heard so many things about 40k, from the games (most notably Space Marines and Deathwing from TheRussianBadger) to the vast lore to the memes (the Heresy meme video, I think you know which one). Let's see what this is about." Thus, I started with The Templin Institute, with the video about the fall of Cadia. Holy shit. I wound up watching videos throughout the entire night, which left me one day less for doing homework for college before the due date (I managed to get all my homework done, but damn was it close). Still, I didn't regret it (well, mostly). Then, I came across your channel with the Tyranids and the story of Abundus Turshia (I think I spelled it right), with the poor man who loved his people finally getting to rest easy after being saved by the Catachan warriors (who for some reason make me think of the real life badass Leo Major right now, highly suggest you look him up for the insane things he did) from the tyranids and then knowing that an Ork rock will be met with Major Kill and the Death Korps of Krieg (that is the farthest I have gotten in that story arc, having only watched your videos on the Lictors and Deathleapers, and the Catachan video that relate to that story arc, I wish for more, but there is no play list concerning that story arc, so I do not know what videos to watch to tune into that story arc). From that point, I loved your videos, from how you go from existing knowledge to just talking about the subject of the video, to how you talk (how you pronounce words to how you just talk) and how fitting your voice is. I love your voice when talking about 40k things. Normally, I like hearing the sound of a female narrating voice (I hope I am not being racist or insulting somehow), but your voice, oh man. Your voice is just so fitting for the videos, as if it is from the throat of a man who has seen the years pass in the universe of 40k; from a man of great wisdom; from a veteran. *No* other narrator could bring the same justice that you do to your videos. I just love hearing your voice narrate your videos. TBH, I have only just decided to subscribe to your channel, but I don't plan on ever unsubscribing from your channel. P.S., if you do get this comment, for some reason I would like for you to meet another RUclipsr whom I am subscribed to: The Mighty Jingles, another fan of the Warhammer 40k video that served in the Royal Navy. For some reason, I think you two would get along very well. It would be nice if you could say something to tell me you got this comment.
I cannot wait till you cover imperial knights. Really brightens my day stuck here in hospital for 2 years, 2 years in the apothecarium is an eternity for a battle brother and your stories and lessons are greater than any iterator, even the great Kyril Sindermann could learn something from you.
We once scratch built to scale a Warlord Titan. So much PVC, plastic sheeting, so much modding! In an Armageddon scale battle our (4 of us) battle was called while we unboxed our stuff :( we even went to a bigger city. Titans are unbelievably MASSIVE! Even with more titans on the other side (measuring 5" tall...) they balked at our own 1. That is how scarey, how mean, how ... immeasurable one really is.
Heavy cold brother, but this will bug me all night. Armageddon? I have visions of |Grimaldis and can;t clarify through the cold. Help! :( Sorry brother.

Commenting for the algorithm brother. You're one of the best Warhammer lore channels out here rn. In the top three in my opinion. U would be number one once you add more content. I hope your channel blows up. You're very talented. Keep up the great work!
Seems like a perfect base for a world of tanks type game. Different classes of titans with different choice of factions with an immense amount of customization
There is a woeful shortage of fiction and literature on the Adeptus Titanicus in these days, so I thank you, Princeps, for adding to what wordery does exist.

Richard Kesner thank you so much, brother Richard. (Do state if you prefer brother Kesner). I hope not to let you Down. I never know anything more than you might. Just giving it a go. I am in your debt. The extra hits would help a lot. ;). Thank you!!!
Baldermort's Guide to Warhammer Richard or Rich is ok by me. I don’t see you letting us down, I have a lot of faith your channel is going places. Even after so many years of being in the hobby, each video brings something new that I didn’t know about. We’re all fans here, and with 30+ years of lore, there’s bound to be a lot I’ve missed. Keep doing what you’re doing, brother. Because it’s working. :)
Beautiful entry, Brother! Hope you one day gift us with a full story of an Imperator Class Titan in battle, for I don't think there'd be something as magnificent as you growling "Walk!" in the guise of a Princeps
I always wondered what it would be like if i ate gravel instead of cheerios as a young man...... dammit i made the wrong choice with those whole grain delights, i could have been this majestic bastard.
Titan Moderati: Heresy in sight, Princeps!! Princeps: (slaps hand on the war horn activation rune, and keeps it pressed while he pumps fist up and down)
I think Titan construction isn’t quite fleshed out yet in the lore. It’ll probably get retconned at some point, because based on current lore the Mechanicus should not be able to manufacture Titans at all because it’s Dark Age technology. Especially the AI part. If they had an STC they’d be able to mass produce them, but they don’t, so they just “remember” how to make them. Yet they don’t “remember” how to make anything else? And there’s those crazy OP psyker Titans, which again begs the question of who really builds these things.
Soylent Green as far as I’ve heared Titans are the ONLY thing the Mechanicus actually builds and improves on. Not just copy paste it like an STC but actively improving it and changing it. There are even titans classes that have been invented by the Mechanicus themselves( I belive they invented the Reiver). The reason why they don’t mass produce em is because it’s a holy ritual that can take decades and also needs very specific, rare components. If even terminator armor cannot be mass produced titans can never be
The thing about the Mechanicus is that they don't deal in science but ritual. They do not know how AI is made they have a ritual for a titan core. They do not know how a shield generator might work they do know the ritual to make one that works on titans. So now you might ask why they still know about titans when everything else was forgotten? Because there was never a time when the titan forgets where not needed. There where grim times where the Techpriests forgot a lot. But they never forgot the basics, the meat of their craft: Lasguns, power-packs, titans and starship engines. But why then do they advance their titan designs? Because there is no oversight. Normally the Techpriests have a strict oversight in all their fields. Every hint of derivation is dealt with swiftly and brutally. Except the titans. For the titans are _complicated_ . At the one hand they are needed. At the other they have AI and break the law. So the solution? Don't check and don't tell. Just let the Margi do their thing.
Keine Angabe exactly. And this also ties in in Specific Titans being Built by specific forgeworlds. Take Ryza( i think Thats how its written.) they may use the Same STC for an Imperator class Titan as Mars. But they may Not have the Template for a Nova Cannon or their void Shield templates are damaged. They DO however have Access to the best plasma Based STCs in the Whole imperium. So instead of equipping their emperor Titan with a Nova cannon and lets say 10 void shield banks they Change the Equipment to something they Van actually produce, in this case a Macro plasma incinerator and a stronger Plasma Generator with More Output as well as 15 Weaker shield Banks That get Powered by it. Because as stated, they do this ritually. They BUILD their Gods. And so they will use any tech they have at their disposal to complete it, even if this means changing and Improving set designs as well as improvising Parts That are needed. Its literally of such high importance and priority to Build These machines if comissioned, That the Mechanicus will happily Break almost all rules and Doctrines laid down by the Cult mechanicus, simply because in their mind they´re Building something That Comes as close to their God as Possible. And that’s how the Mechanicus sees the commission of building a titan. Because either the emperor or the high lords or the Fabricator General commissioned those, which basically translates to „the messenger of our god ordered us to build this image of our god, thus we must complete this holy task by any means, and at any cost.“ And thats why the concept of Psy-titans exists for example. Because in some (albeit extreme) cases, even incorporating chaotic and xenos tech and thus committing tech heresy is worth the price of building a titan. And thus (and i cant stress this enough) ANY means necessary will be taken to build and complete a god machine. Even if it goes against holy tradition and forces the mechanicus to change, adapt and improve.
Lol. I think you may be confusing me with another channel. NO movement here. Just a horrible cold again. Thank you for listening, brother. It is appreciated. P:)
@@baldermort that odd I really thought I read on my feed that u are moving and will be uploading less , but praise the silence king u are fine..almost hope u get better really fast battle brother the only in dead ends our serving to the tyrant Emperor XD
LOL. I think you are confusing me with a certain Border Prince? :) All good. He's much bigger than I am anyhow. Many thanks, brother. I hope to be able to get some more content out this week. Hoping the eyes and head clear up a bit. Be well brother and I hope your 2020 brings you everything you require. :)
After many, many, MANY repeats, All I can hope for is that, Emperor willing, there will one day be a Chaos Titans lore video, if only to see how the Dark Mechanicum would create/use them. Idea, maybe?
And then we've got chaos with the eternal "You've got something ? Well i've got it too but since mine is chaos it's possessed by demons so it's stronger and if you destroy it it can comeback because Chaos gods !"...damn the Endtimes made me hate chaos SO MUCH for how cheesy it can be !
Great video sir! I was thinking the siege of Vraks must have been horrific for the Titan legions. There were quite a few god machines destroyed on vraks, as I recall. Part of me has wondered if the machine spirit is not a well leaned and ancient AI (just renamed by the mechanicus. Though I know that's complete herresey 😊
Lord Baldermort, Keeper of Law. Superb story as always my lord. Titans are the single coolest thing in 40k. Might I ask, do you have a favourite Titan Legion? I've always liked Legio Crucius (the Warmongers) of Raisa.
These Behemoths, these Gods of War are what brought me to the Warhammer Universe as I love all things Big Stompy Robots. For me to simply calls these Magnificent Living Machines Robots though seems somehow wrong, wholly, woefully inaccurate and lacking. I can not wait to learn more of them and for you to be the one teaching, enlightening me as to what they well and truly are. This verse is vast and oh so much fun to learn about, think about and simply revel in all of it's strangeness. It's so harsh and dark yet to me these Titans are a light, a flame that draws me. If I were to play this game I feel it would only be as a Titan, the machine spirit itself...
Look xenos..we are incompetennnnnt.. "moments later" the entire ridge collapses from our planted charges and the eldar thing loses it's footing..as I planned o_o
What is that short story called or is is part of a collection or codex? I adore your work and I am grateful to have found your channel recently, you do Warhammer a great honor, keep up the excellent work my friend
Thank you for the very generous feedback, brother. Alas, the short stories, the flavour pieces, that start the more recent entries are all my own invention. I sincerely hope this is not too large a let down. They are my ham handed attempts to make the factions more accessible to newer fans of the setting. I like to try to give, what I think, is the heart of the faction. Direct quotes seem to be hard to gain for this purpose. They are either too brief, or too involved. Also, I never claim to own or have read all of the books. I simply don;t have the time or resources for that. So, I hope you can see this is just an attempt to enthuse the newbie and entertain the old hand. Nothing more. Many thanks for listening, brother. : )
*The Imperium of Mankind:* AIs are forbidden *Also The Imperium of mankind:* lets put an angry machine spirit into the largest weapon platform ever created.
I will make some time for fun. In the evening I'm GMing the final session of Chapter 2 of my Dark-Heresy-transitioned-to-WaG campaign, wish me luck, so that it's challenging enough, yet not deadly to the young acolytes!
Here's theory. These are not really titans - but regular power armours from Dark Age of Technology. Afterall, Astartes' power armour are agriculturlar work suits or something. :D
Those are only the smallest ones. I intend to do another entry on the whoppers soon on a Wargear Wednesday. :) Well said though. Very well said brother Leeboy. :)
Its a team effort. Honestly. We did this. We. : ) And we're going to get even better. There'll be mistakes along the way, but with the brotherhood behind this content, giving constructive guidance where needed, I feel we can do almost anything. : )
@@baldermort I don't even play Warhammer, it's the lore that gets me into it. And the community of content creators like yourself and other Warhammer-dedicated channels that keep me hooked. Speaking of which, are there any good books or audiobooks that you would recommend? If I may, perhaps creating playlists for ease of compartmentalizing topics of discussion? Could have a playlist based on the Imperium, another on Orks, another on Eldar, etc. Just to make things neater and easier to find. That is my humble recommendation to this channel.
Wow. Well, thank you brother. I never thought anyone who didn't play would be interested. An eye-opener. But there are amazing sites out there. Amazing ones. Have you listened to the Horus Heresy line? Ok, some are better than others, but for a consecutive immersive experience I'd do them one at a time. The style and content does vary, but its a road worth treading, well in my very limited opinion. I have made some play lists, but I will look at them again. Thank you, brother. Always grateful for any guidance. : )
How anyone who likes 40k dislikes this is a greater mystery of life, up there with existentialism and that anthrax mailer who was never caught after 9/11.
Princeps are just mentally tougher than anything I know of bar the Grey Knights or Soul-forged psykers. Well, as far as I see things at the moment. It changes by the hour. There is so much depth this setting its maddening. :) Thank you for listening, brother. :)
michael howell alas, my eye had come off the ball with the PA. grey knights seem pleased with their new tides. It’s looking hopeful rules wise. No idea lore wise yet. Hoping to look into it as soon as it drops. Can’t guarantee. But hoping. :). Thanks for listening, brother Michael. :).

I hope not to let you Down. I never know anything more than you might. Just giving it a go. I am in your debt. The extra hits would help a lot. ;). Thank you!!!
Baldermort's Guide to Warhammer Richard or Rich is ok by me. I don’t see you letting us down, I have a lot of faith your channel is going places.
Even after so many years of being in the hobby, each video brings something new that I didn’t know about. We’re all fans here, and with 30+ years of lore, there’s bound to be a lot I’ve missed.
Keep doing what you’re doing, brother. Because it’s working. :)
You have such a gift for dramatic oration and characterization! and your voice is *amazing*. Please never stop!
Well, everything stops one day. But it won;t be for a lonnnnng time. Well, unless I get boring and people get tired of our take on things. :)
@@baldermort
Sir I can assure you that that will never happen
Beautiful entry, Brother! Hope you one day gift us with a full story of an Imperator Class Titan in battle, for I don't think there'd be something as magnificent as you growling "Walk!" in the guise of a Princeps
I always wondered what it would be like if i ate gravel instead of cheerios as a young man...... dammit i made the wrong choice with those whole grain delights, i could have been this majestic bastard.
You were born to narrate and explain the grim dark future that is Warhammer 40k
Titan Moderati: Heresy in sight, Princeps!!
Princeps: (slaps hand on the war horn activation rune, and keeps it pressed while he pumps fist up and down)
David attenborough of warhammer, thanks man
Amazing video man, I can only hope you one day do a video on my machine of war, the Imperial Knight.
You gaze at a mountain and the mountain flinches ..... Lol thats will
I think Titan construction isn’t quite fleshed out yet in the lore. It’ll probably get retconned at some point, because based on current lore the Mechanicus should not be able to manufacture Titans at all because it’s Dark Age technology. Especially the AI part. If they had an STC they’d be able to mass produce them, but they don’t, so they just “remember” how to make them. Yet they don’t “remember” how to make anything else? And there’s those crazy OP psyker Titans, which again begs the question of who really builds these things.
Aye, its a bit of a hot mess, that one. I think they may tidy it up soon, but sort of like the mystery too. :)
Soylent Green as far as I’ve heared Titans are the ONLY thing the Mechanicus actually builds and improves on. Not just copy paste it like an STC but actively improving it and changing it. There are even titans classes that have been invented by the Mechanicus themselves( I belive they invented the Reiver). The reason why they don’t mass produce em is because it’s a holy ritual that can take decades and also needs very specific, rare components. If even terminator armor cannot be mass produced titans can never be
The thing about the Mechanicus is that they don't deal in science but ritual.
They do not know how AI is made they have a ritual for a titan core.
They do not know how a shield generator might work they do know the ritual to make one that works on titans.
So now you might ask why they still know about titans when everything else was forgotten? Because there was never a time when the titan forgets where not needed. There where grim times where the Techpriests forgot a lot. But they never forgot the basics, the meat of their craft:
Lasguns, power-packs, titans and starship engines.
But why then do they advance their titan designs? Because there is no oversight. Normally the Techpriests have a strict oversight in all their fields. Every hint of derivation is dealt with swiftly and brutally.
Except the titans. For the titans are _complicated_ .
At the one hand they are needed. At the other they have AI and break the law.
So the solution? Don't check and don't tell. Just let the Margi do their thing.
Keine Angabe exactly. And this also ties in in Specific Titans being Built by specific forgeworlds. Take Ryza( i think Thats how its written.) they may use the Same STC for an Imperator class Titan as Mars. But they may Not have the Template for a Nova Cannon or their void Shield templates are damaged. They DO however have Access to the best plasma Based STCs in the Whole imperium. So instead of equipping their emperor Titan with a Nova cannon and lets say 10 void shield banks they Change the Equipment to something they Van actually produce, in this case a Macro plasma incinerator and a stronger Plasma Generator with More Output as well as 15 Weaker shield Banks That get Powered by it. Because as stated, they do this ritually. They BUILD their Gods. And so they will use any tech they have at their disposal to complete it, even if this means changing and Improving set designs as well as improvising Parts That are needed. Its literally of such high importance and priority to Build These machines if comissioned, That the Mechanicus will happily Break almost all rules and Doctrines laid down by the Cult mechanicus, simply because in their mind they´re Building something That Comes as close to their God as Possible. And that’s how the Mechanicus sees the commission of building a titan. Because either the emperor or the high lords or the Fabricator General commissioned those, which basically translates to „the messenger of our god ordered us to build this image of our god, thus we must complete this holy task by any means, and at any cost.“ And thats why the concept of Psy-titans exists for example. Because in some (albeit extreme) cases, even incorporating chaotic and xenos tech and thus committing tech heresy is worth the price of building a titan. And thus (and i cant stress this enough) ANY means necessary will be taken to build and complete a god machine. Even if it goes against holy tradition and forces the mechanicus to change, adapt and improve.
i utterly loved this so much, thank you
Loving your back catalog but I'm dreading the I've got through them all but loving it for now 😊
Nothing but love. Updoots forever Lord Baldermort!
Thank you, brother Popa. :) :)
The infamous “mechanized beaver” is a pale shadow of these things.
Great video keen for more titan lore!!
Thank you, brother. I;ll try to get back to them as soon as I can. Still have more introductions to do. So many.
Many thanks for listening. :)
The humongous techo-Wraths of humanity unleashed
I thought u would upload less since u moving and all but by the Kahn u are fast brother very fast indeed. Awedome video and cheers
Lol. I think you may be confusing me with another channel. NO movement here. Just a horrible cold again.
Thank you for listening, brother. It is appreciated. P:)
@@baldermort that odd I really thought I read on my feed that u are moving and will be uploading less , but praise the silence king u are fine..almost hope u get better really fast battle brother the only in dead ends our serving to the tyrant Emperor XD
LOL. I think you are confusing me with a certain Border Prince? :)
All good. He's much bigger than I am anyhow.
Many thanks, brother. I hope to be able to get some more content out this week. Hoping the eyes and head clear up a bit.
Be well brother and I hope your 2020 brings you everything you require. :)
Not sure how you're not the most popular 40k RUclipsr tbh
I barely make ends meet. Go figure.
I'm part way through reading mechanicum and this was fantastic!
Yet again another Great Video.
racspartan1 thank you for listening and the kind comment. Thank you brother Spartan. :).
Great video, you never disappoint 😀.
Give it time..... :)
Thanks for listening, brother. :) :)
You do justice to the badassery and power of everything you thing
Very good really enjoyed that
After many, many, MANY repeats, All I can hope for is that, Emperor willing, there will one day be a Chaos Titans lore video, if only to see how the Dark Mechanicum would create/use them. Idea, maybe?
And then we've got chaos with the eternal "You've got something ? Well i've got it too but since mine is chaos it's possessed by demons so it's stronger and if you destroy it it can comeback because Chaos gods !"...damn the Endtimes made me hate chaos SO MUCH for how cheesy it can be !
this is tense story telling omg iam on the edge of my seat and its 141am
This almost made me feel sorry for the poor adeptus regretica
Great video sir! I was thinking the siege of Vraks must have been horrific for the Titan legions. There were quite a few god machines destroyed on vraks, as I recall. Part of me has wondered if the machine spirit is not a well leaned and ancient AI (just renamed by the mechanicus. Though I know that's complete herresey 😊
Love it, keep it up dude
Chris Coulson thank you brother Chris. Trying. :).
Thank you, as always, for listening. :).
Know yourself, know you're enemy, know youre terrain. 100%
Lord Baldermort, Keeper of Law. Superb story as always my lord. Titans are the single coolest thing in 40k. Might I ask, do you have a favourite Titan Legion? I've always liked Legio Crucius (the Warmongers) of Raisa.
Not yet! I’ve never gotten into totanicus. Being a squad grunt type of guy. But I can see it happening when we entries for them on a grander scale. ;)
Try staring down a mountain and the mountain flinches XD
Wait till a titan shoves his power claw up nurgles face hahahahaha
id love a video explaining what exactly a machine spirit is in Baldermorts words :)
WhiteWolf Crossy I’ll get it on the list. Good point. :).
Real Good stuff :D
Lewton thank you, brother. Glad you like it. :).
These Behemoths, these Gods of War are what brought me to the Warhammer Universe as I love all things Big Stompy Robots. For me to simply calls these Magnificent Living Machines Robots though seems somehow wrong, wholly, woefully inaccurate and lacking. I can not wait to learn more of them and for you to be the one teaching, enlightening me as to what they well and truly are. This verse is vast and oh so much fun to learn about, think about and simply revel in all of it's strangeness. It's so harsh and dark yet to me these Titans are a light, a flame that draws me. If I were to play this game I feel it would only be as a Titan, the machine spirit itself...
"Austeom Pinichess, I never shorten his name"
epic stuff ! stuff of dreams !
Look xenos..we are incompetennnnnt.. "moments later" the entire ridge collapses from our planted charges and the eldar thing loses it's footing..as I planned o_o
Chill ass turtle hope you endure it brother. :).
Chill ass turtle hope you enjoyed it brother. :).
Chill ass turtle hope you enjoyed it brother. :).
I will say one thing. At least they can still be produced, while slowly, it is still something in their favor.
Awesome work mate
Thanks, boss. Any idea if we are getting Necron knights? Any grumble on the grapevine? :)
@@baldermort No nothing, only wishful thinking
Nuts. Sigh. One day. :)
What is that short story called or is is part of a collection or codex? I adore your work and I am grateful to have found your channel recently, you do Warhammer a great honor, keep up the excellent work my friend
Thank you for the very generous feedback, brother. Alas, the short stories, the flavour pieces, that start the more recent entries are all my own invention. I sincerely hope this is not too large a let down. They are my ham handed attempts to make the factions more accessible to newer fans of the setting. I like to try to give, what I think, is the heart of the faction. Direct quotes seem to be hard to gain for this purpose. They are either too brief, or too involved. Also, I never claim to own or have read all of the books. I simply don;t have the time or resources for that. So, I hope you can see this is just an attempt to enthuse the newbie and entertain the old hand. Nothing more.
Many thanks for listening, brother. : )
Thanks!
Hi Mister Baldermort, that story was AWWWEESOME! Thank you! 😍(❁´◡`❁)
*The Imperium of Mankind:* AIs are forbidden
*Also The Imperium of mankind:* lets put an angry machine spirit into the largest weapon platform ever created.
I will make some time for fun. In the evening I'm GMing the final session of Chapter 2 of my Dark-Heresy-transitioned-to-WaG campaign, wish me luck, so that it's challenging enough, yet not deadly to the young acolytes!
Goooood luck!!!!!
Here's theory. These are not really titans - but regular power armours from Dark Age of Technology. Afterall, Astartes' power armour are agriculturlar work suits or something. :D
some one at WG missed a 0 off the height of the titans. just walk out 14 meters and look how small it is even if it is just for a war hound
Those are only the smallest ones. I intend to do another entry on the whoppers soon on a Wargear Wednesday. :)
Well said though. Very well said brother Leeboy. :)
Basically the way GW attract MECHWARRIOR Players
You really should write lore for GW.
They’ve got plenty of far more talented writers than I. :). I just make it sound good ish. :)
I do not know what we did to deserve Baldemort but I accept regardless.
Its a team effort. Honestly. We did this. We. : )
And we're going to get even better. There'll be mistakes along the way, but with the brotherhood behind this content, giving constructive guidance where needed, I feel we can do almost anything. : )
@@baldermort
I don't even play Warhammer, it's the lore that gets me into it. And the community of content creators like yourself and other Warhammer-dedicated channels that keep me hooked. Speaking of which, are there any good books or audiobooks that you would recommend?
If I may, perhaps creating playlists for ease of compartmentalizing topics of discussion? Could have a playlist based on the Imperium, another on Orks, another on Eldar, etc. Just to make things neater and easier to find. That is my humble recommendation to this channel.
Wow. Well, thank you brother. I never thought anyone who didn't play would be interested. An eye-opener. But there are amazing sites out there. Amazing ones.
Have you listened to the Horus Heresy line? Ok, some are better than others, but for a consecutive immersive experience I'd do them one at a time. The style and content does vary, but its a road worth treading, well in my very limited opinion.
I have made some play lists, but I will look at them again. Thank you, brother. Always grateful for any guidance. : )
All is fun and games until a tank column gets vaporized in 2 shots
Shadowswords though.....
I'm here for the pronunciation and vocabulary.
WH Is a good cautionary lesson for today.
How anyone who likes 40k dislikes this is a greater mystery of life, up there with existentialism and that anthrax mailer who was never caught after 9/11.
So much Badassary
Princeps are just mentally tougher than anything I know of bar the Grey Knights or Soul-forged psykers. Well, as far as I see things at the moment. It changes by the hour. There is so much depth this setting its maddening. :)
Thank you for listening, brother. :)
@@baldermort Clearly. I am not a big Titan fan, but you showed me there was much more to them that just a towering piece of hardware. Thanks brother.
You are more than welcome. Thank you for taking the time out to share your thoughts. :)
This is the saddest story about giant robot I have ever seen. Next only to Iron Giant.
:'(
Jesus...you need more subscribers
Quality over quantity brother. :) Its a great community. Lets keep it that way, even if we remain smaller. :)
laser sighted super flamers seems a good idea.
So Titans are actually Italians! Never knew they had it in em haha
And do we have any solid info of the Psychic Awakening?
michael howell alas, my eye had come off the ball with the PA. grey knights seem pleased with their new tides. It’s looking hopeful rules wise. No idea lore wise yet. Hoping to look into it as soon as it drops. Can’t guarantee. But hoping. :).
Thanks for listening, brother Michael. :).
A night lord princeps..let the galaxy burn!!
