    Salamanders: perhaps the only 40k good guys where "good guys" doesn't need to be in quotation marks.

      Yes because the Lamenters never fought against the Imperium in rebellion lead by the Astral Claws and Eldar never created a powerful monster that caused the deaths of billions.

    Your videos really feel like they fit into the lore of 40k more than anyone else on youtube. Your production quality and the way you use speech as if from a 40k novel is a cut above.

      @@OculusImperia You truly are a showman and the way how your vocal performance and language truly sound like an individual who IS LIVING in the 41ast millennium! I must know where do you find those enrapturing choir? as it sounds like you are speaking inside an imperial monastery. Although, maybe some quiet ambience of some machinery might also add a level of believability as if your character is in a ship or place of operation within the imperium, washed with sounds of machinary and choir. two things most would be able to associate together yet do given the universe of 40K. Your videos are amazing but some variety in ambience might be cool instead of the same choir track playing in the background. Other than that I LOVE your channel and always am on the lookout for new videos!

    Everything about this channel is nothing short of excellence. Your videos have quickly become my favorite to listen to, not only for Warhammer lore, but overall on this site as well; The music is dripping with atmosphere, the beautiful pictures you've picked have perfect relevance with interesting notes, and you sir are simply a natural born speaker. I can't wait to see what subjects are covered in the future, especially what you might have to say about Chaos and the Ruinous Powers.

    • @OculusImperia
      @OculusImperia  7 лет назад +10

    Easily the best Salamanders insights I've come across. Between this and the one on the VIIIth legion, there is some fantastic coverage of the lore in far better crafted detail than other channels. Thanks for your work. Look forward to seeing what else you produce in the future, particularly any information regarding loyalist astartes in traitor legions or vice versa.

That is no disrespect to the quality of those other channels or to the tastes of the viewers, but Oculus' work is evocative, immersive, beautifully presented and most importantly, as accurate as any chronicle of 40K lore could hope to be.

    • @OculusImperia
      @OculusImperia  7 лет назад +11

      Thanks for the comment. In many places I only use the Legion numerical designation when referring to the a Legion specifically before it was granted a proper name, as it would be incorrect to say "the World Eaters fought in the Unification Wars" as opposed to "the XII Legion fought in the Unification Wars". It's a stylistic choice, primarily. Hope this clears it up :)
