We must immediately fortify this video!
deploying tarrantula turrets!
@@AndrewPeaceMaker are the Orbital Laser Batteries ready yet?
@@jintarokensei3308 3 work crews have been worked to death but yes ,batteries on line
The walls of guns is ready
YOU COULDN'T FORTIFY THE IRON CAGE! SIEGE! IRON WITHIN!
Damn I felt Sigismunds pain when he was disowned by Rogal Dorn, shit put tears in my eyes man
Same honesty. The narrating and voice acting were perfect and on point.
The part that hit me was Sigismund's final moments. For a brief moment I even felt something for Abaddon.
Frick Rogal, Frick the imperial fists too! Except, Sigismund
@@johnnyscifi You're allowed to swear, you know
It was heart breaking
Listening to Dorn chastise Sigismund was like listening to a friend's parent absolutely tearing into him verbally
The voice acting is emotionally striking
I was shook as I listened
Yes it was an epic rendition of only we could hear the reverberation of dorns voice as he exclaims 'You are not MY SON'
"Seek not the wicked for 'answers;, nor for 'understanding' nor 'enlightenment'. Find strength in your faith, and in your righteous hatred, and be content. For words are the tools of the heretic, excepting those uttered in vehemence and in the utmost faith. With deed and honor, the faithful speak the plainest of truths." - An excerpt from the Crusader Scrolls of the Black Templars, sealed within the archives of The Eternal Crusader
Sigismund is one of the characters with the best ending: he crusaded for centuries after the Scouring and almost nailed Abby, despite the Eye and Chaos granting the latter an edge against the old Templar.
It would be awesome to have him come back as a Saint in case Abby were to reach Terra, just to have him lead his 6000 Templars one more time
the 12min excerpt cut off before the best part!
Tarik: "do you want a slap sigismund?"
Dorn: "he might deserve it but spare him for he bruises easily"
🤣🤣
And they say Dorn has no sense of humor.
@@Minotaur-ey2lg you assume Dorn is joking 😳
Bruh you do not know how you singlehandedly made Space Marines enjoyable for me
That’s awesome brother! There’s a lot of depth and variety in their lore and I’m glad you enjoy it.
Nice to remember a fantastic character from an age of glory
@@TheAmberKing i dont even like marines, orks forever, i am weak against such awesome lore.
The respect Abbadon has for him is a pretty cool note in the story. The siege of Terra has really brought the Imperial Fists into focus as one of my favorite chapters.
One of the main reasons i like the imperial fists is because their successor chapter, the Black Templars are my favorite
11:55 ABorder Prince as Torgaddon! I love it! "Yellow ragamuffins?" LOL
Fucken love that guy XD
Damn I didn’t know Rogal disowned him like that. All the feels.
Imagine for someone like him been scorned by his father, mentor and commander, It is heartbreaking
He was projecting his own fathers demands on sigismund. The emperor made his decree about pskyers being dangerous. Dorn is steadfast and embraces this. He cannot understand how sigismund could fall for the pskyer bullshit. Sigismund is his best and brightest, and even the best and brightest can fall for psyker tricks? The implicaiton is too much for dorn to handle. If Dorns best can be led astray, who else could be brought down low? At this point dorn cant even concieve that of the true treason occuring during the HH. Its unthinkable and he cant handle it, he lashes out at sigismund. Forcing him to try and cover up his failure because if the best space marine can fall, anyone of them can. And its even worse than that, because between magnus, horus, fulgrim etc, they are all falling to chaos through warp manipulations. Warhammer is a tragedy above all.
@@nullakjg767 It had more to do with the imperial truth and the salting of monarchia
@@JohnDoe-xv9du Thats part of it, but the parallels between horus and the emperor/sigismund and Dorn are brought up a few times during that whole scene. Its a piece of fantastic writing. Not to mention Dorns greatest fear is brought up in "The lightning tower" that once he understands WHY horus has turned, that he may go traitor too. And sigismund is someone who heard a "truth" that made him derelict in his duties and go against his fathers wishes. Its too much for Dorn to handle.
@@nullakjg767 so in other words he was derelict in spreading and enforcing the imperial truth. Yes. Thats what I said
Dorn's treatment of Sigismund was the same treatment he gave to the Imperial Palace, he had to tear down something beautiful to build something that was necessary. Warhawk saw the completion of the recreation of Sigismund and freed Dorn to let Sigismund know how truly proud of him he was.
One of the many tragedies of Dorn. A man that only wanted to create stability and beauty forced to debase that beauty for pragmatism and effectiveness.
All Sigismund fans should read "The Talon of Horus" & "Warhawk" as they both add to his glorious legend.
While I love both those books, surely you mean "Black Legion" rather than "The Talon of Horus"? The legendary duel is in B.L.
@@Kristian.B.Kristiansen My mistake and my apologies. Your absolutely correct. Epic duel.
I wish we had more books translated to Spanish, theres one Library that is covering the Horus Heresy books, but no Siege of Terra atm, and the 40K novels are meh, too much Ultramarines
@@rufusruffles You have my sympathy my friend.
Jesus Warhawk was sooo good the final showdown between Sigismund vs Kharn also the showdown between Mortarion vs Jaghatai. My love for the White Scars grows more!
If you are reading this get the Audible version of Warhawk the narration is soo good!
YESSSSSSS THE HYPE IS REAL
FOR SIGISMUND! FOR DORN! FOR THE EMPEROR!
FOR SIGISMUND!
FOR DORN!
Listening to a story so engrossed, you find yourself sitting in silence moments after it ended.
Praise.
Currently sitting in exactly that silence as I read that comment 😂
That final part, the voices the music it was phenomenal. Every 40K fan needs to experience this.
*OUR WAR IS ENDLESS, OUR CRUSADE IS ETERNAL*
"Whats cool about the Imperial Fists anyway?"
**POINTS**
And the 2 hour video from Baldermort along with his 3 part Rogal Dorn series.
Do remember...Dorn was never a good liar...The Siege of Terra is where he learned how to be a good liar. When he first talked to Sigismund, Dorn told the truth, but before "freed" Sigismund in his last talk before Sigismund later became the "Emperors Champion"...Dorn Lied. Because Dorn needed to lie. So his "son" Sigismund could become the weapon he needed, that the Emperor needed...And so, Dorn Lied. With that lie more and more of Dorn's Dream, Dorn's Certanty broke. Like a wall that took too much punishment. Dorn cracked. Leading to Sigismund becoming Dorn's Chained Weapon.
Iron Within. lol
Sigismund is such a badass. Hoping for Kharn next!
Wow, just wow. With this level of narration and voice acting it was extremely hard for me, as a grown-ass man, to not get really emotional during this video. Especially when Dorn berated Sigismund, I feld tears welling up, as if I was the receiver of those words. Superb. Sigismund is a fascinating character and this piece does him honor.
My wife: why are u crying?
Me: * sob * who is crying?
My wife: ...
Me: You are crying!
Could not agree more
Yeah, Dorn wasn't a very good father, but he didn't have a very good role model, did he?
@@freakyzed8467 Depends on perspective. Some are stronger for such stern serious fathers. My father was not a loving type. A hardass that never showed his feelings. But I respected and took some of that strength he presented. Ill never be that heartless but I am stronger for it. And in the end glad for it.
Too much pathos.
Sigismund died a Man, Nothing more, Nothing less, He died a Man........
Shadow of treachery actually made me tear up a bit, such bting words from a father can hurt more then any death or loss of honour, but to live on with those words within ones mind is truly pain.
T_T
You're just too good my brother. Noone brings the lore like you. Thankyou for having me on board once again! Like I told you, you never miss.
Nicely done and nicely put mate. Congratulations on another fantastic piece of work. Keep doing what you're doing.
Your voice is wonderful, Vox. I would love to collaborate with you sometime.
@@CurtisCCoomber you too Senõr Coomer!
You did very well Mr. Vox - I enjoyed this a lot.
@@CurtisCCoomber so is yours sir! Would be a pleasure!
One of the best Astartes videos ever crafted. Voice acting of the finest quality.
Awesome work on this! A+++ content brother
I'm always deeply impressed with the bones of this universe and what talented creators can do with it and then almost equally disappointed with the decisions of the parent company. I really wish they cared more about the story and lore than they did about selling minis, it's almost a meta commentary about the wasted potential of the Imperium
First time in a long time I've seen a decent Astartes video. Not these modern rubbish, but the Legionaries will always be greater than any modern *spit* Chapter, and Sigismund is the best of those best.
The reading of his death had me in tears, thank you. That was magnificent
This is the greatest thing I've heard in a while. I love it when the channels I love collaborate. 40k overload ( I know its 30k bear with me)
Your too kind, thank you!
God Emperor, you make THE better 40k content on RUclips period, No one does this kind of format, the level of polish, care and hard work is amazing, every time you release a new episode I litt a fat huge blunt and listen It. Just wanted you to know this, It may sound cheesy but It is true, THANK YOU
I usually play Iron Warriors and after 20 years, i can say, i hate Imperial Fists too.
But what you did here, has let me shed a few tears. Boy, was i stunned by that story and especially the end. What a tragic but noble figure he was.
Nonetheless… damn that fool 😂
That was a collaboration at it‘s best. A Border Prince, A Vox in the Void and you. There they are. The trinity of 40K lore 😊✌🏻
Glad you enjoy the content, 40k lore has this depth in mind when they write and I’m glad you felt in my video!
This is a beautiful piece of work. You should be proud of this.
Also, perfectly timed considering I'm making a Black Templar army 😂
Cheers brother, thank you so much!
@@H-to-O *whispers - 3-d printers... shhhhh!
Khârn was so cool before he ate a box of Khorne flakes
Wow, there's alot to unpack in that quote. "Zeal makes all things possible, duty all things simple".
For the Emperor. For his Champion. For Sigismund.
23:40 is one of the most important descriptions of combat that i have heard and is often overlooked by many who try to describe conflict between two beings. I want to see this chanel rise to heights it deserves.
Agreed. Combat is hard to write. Especially in books. One on one is slightly easier than mass army conflict. Often it becomes messy. In fact a “less is more” approach seems to work most effectively
A new Amber King video is a rare and precious thing. Our unsung lore hero.
Nice, good job brother I hope to see many more people, I personally want to see tyberos the red wake covered
The whole chapter may need a look at, great suggestion!
@@TheAmberKing Only a pleasure brother . not many people are talking about the chapters of the cursed founding, my favorite are Space Sharks, *Lamenters*(these guy are just built different) and Raven Guards (will probably be declared heretics by the inquisition purely because of their huge stash of ancient artifacts) these are the only chapters I world say needs to be looked at purely because of how unique they are. Space Shark with a unstable gene-seed that slowly turns them in Shark Marines yet they are still loyal to the imperium of man(and Tyberos Danm he thiccc). Lamenters being the unluckiest chapter in the history of the imperium and in my opinion the best redemption seeing as they sided with the Astral Claw who were corrupted by chaos taint, yet came back into the the imperium after finding out that the Astral Claws were corrupted, lost two homeworlds, surviving trynids, and having a bad ass old dreadnought that thinks he is the last lamenter. And then the Raven Guard, what else is there to say about them, badass, slightly heretical, super loyalist, and also suffering from the black rage and the red thirst like the Blood Angels
This is the best charter explained so for the end was riveting the hate his last words were filled with what a badass
That ending gets me every time
Wow. Just wow. Sigismund has quickly become one of my favourite loyalist characters from the Heresy and Siege series. I felt so bad for him when he was chastened by Dorn in "The Crimson Fist" novella from "Shadows of Treachery": I could almost feel his pain...
I must say though Amber King, your in-depth dive to the life of this legendary champion brought tears to my eyes especially when he died at Abaddon's hands. I guess the music is partly to blame for making me so emotional haha. Also the collaboration on the voice acting is superb: my highest compliments to your collaborators!
Keep up the good work! I look forward to your next in-depth character dive!
It was beautiful.
We both looked into the darkness but when I stared back I smiled and understood it would not best me.
Man I've loved all of your videos, but the emotion in this one struck a different chord thats resonated with me on a deep level for some reason. The voice work from everyone was incredible, and your narration was top notch.
That last chapter was something else. Watched it 4 times in a row.
Absolutely captivating. The way you deliver your stories is spell binding. One of the best 40k content creators out there and how you haven't got more subscribers Is beyond me. Keep going, fantastic.
Would love to see a Curze or Lorgar centered video
Lion for me
I agree. The Night Haunter would be a GREAT Video!
hes done one with fulgrim lorgar and kurze
@@dougsmith2320 he did a like philosophy video not a full character deep dive
You and @baldemort have to collab on a video. Narration and VO was awe inspiring.
way to give the templars some love! i feel like with everything going on now people forget the struggle they go through. even thou space marines are looked at as better then humans they still have their own eternal battles that never get shared to the people of the imperium and maybe that is to spare them for all the pain they have to endure or maybe they will never understand it. great video!!!
That's it, I'm buying that damn Black Templars boxset and starting a new army.
Sigismund: “I worship the emperor now.”
Dorn: “what are you? 5’ 9”? Gitthefuckoutahere-“
it's no a fase dad is who i am now
"Do what you were made to do, Hurt them...." Like bruh, got me hyped Af
Once again you've smashed it for 6! Thanks for your hard work. And thanks to Prince Border, Mr Vox and Senõr Coomer.
Holy fucking shit dude this is WILD. Quality of your work is nuts. Keep it up and you'll be #1
Sigismund sounds like he shows up when people solve a puzzle box
Your videos are stunning, i can't get enough. The argument between Sigusmund and Dorn was heartbreaking.
An epic telling of a fantastic story. Sigismund is the greatest Astartes to have ever lived, ten thousand years be damned.
I say only dante is on his level of impact and duty
@@roboticfish317 Dante is a legend, but not to the level that Sigismund was at. Abaddon's men were nervous about their duel, when Abaddon was Warp-infused and Sigismund was old and creaky. For good reason, it turns out - Abaddon barely survived. Dante is easily the top of the modern era, maybe of his own lifetime, but nobody can overtake Sigismund.
What a masterpiece, you truly out do your self everytime. Thank you so much for this!
He definitely works on his craft.
Uuuih.. I'm loving it. Gave me shivers, made me weep. You even had me silently repeating shit. "...not my son."
You all did amazing! I was surprised Border voiced some characters in this!
The voice acting for this is incredible!
Brother I’ve never known much about 40k lore other than it was a table top game. Your channel has got me to get really deep into 40k or at least on the lore side. I love your videos as a person who loves audio books please keep this up and thank you!
Yesss!!! Thank you for this one! My absolute favorite character!
I see he’s sitting on a pedestal of stone, he was probably the first.
Beautifully done. Despite all the bad news from GW copyright, the RUclips Warhammer community is stronger than ever. And if channels like this can start and grow with such quality, it will only get stronger.
Amazing lore video man.
I know people really want primarchs loyal and chaos to come back to the story but I man I wish we could bring back Sig.
You keep getting better and better as a story teller
The outro has never been more fitting then it is now. It's as if watching Sigismund walking his endless path until he at last, is allowed to rest.
Really wished we had a movie about him
@@travzac619 Perhaps one day. Till then, perhaps this will do. :D

Vader: "Luke I am your father!"
Luke: "Nooooo!
Rogal Dorn: "I am NOT your father!"
Sigismund: "Nooooo!"
Emperor of mankind: "You are all tools!"
Roboute Guilliman: "Roger That!"
Also Emperor of mankind: " I am not your god!"
Black Templars: "Yes you are!"
It looks like you're finally getting the attention you deserve! I am always quite excited when one of your excellent videos come out
Good work roping in that soccer hooligan ABP.
ABD is an absolute G! He’s been one of my favourite’s even before starting my own channel.
As Paul said, you never miss.
Impeccable work. I love your approach to lore-telling.
This channel needs more subs for the quality of the content being put out.
This is honestly some of the most masterful story telling and voice acting I have had the pleasure of experiencing in quite some time. I absolutely love this video and the work you do Amber King.
If I were to make a suggestion on future topics, I’d say the emperor’s favorite creation Constantin Valdor. Additionally I think the Space Sharks and their chapter master Tyberos also would be great options.
Can’t wait for the next video!
Great job.....you truly know how to bring emotion to these stories that we in the community Iove.
Thank you
Another masterpiece, King. This channel is quickly becoming one of my favorites.
Nathaniel Garro was another awesome Space Marine during the Heresy era. A prime example of an SM keeping his humanity.
Loved the voice actors and the story
this is some of the absolute top in all of wh40k vids i have ever seen
damn
This is one of the best character videos I have ever seen. You are becoming so good so fast. Great capture of the setting and the mindset of the characters. I look forward to the next video.
These are the best lore videos on youtube. Keep up the excellent work. The Emperor Protects
Outstanding! I’ve read all the stories but it was very enjoyable listening to you put it all together. Sigismund:ultimate badass.
And now to enjoy.
Thanks again Amber King 😁😁👍🏿
Simply amazing! Very good and inspiring work. And the featuring of some of the best in the field made me warm in the heart. Truly an fantastic community. Hat of and flowers on the road an so forth. Very well done, all!
hey nice video man, was like a novel itself.. those lads that give they voice are also great, no overacting, just perfect!! love it.. even when lueting is my Primach, you rightfully deserve the first company!
And just within a few month so much more lore is already there for the Black Knight. I love this character
Another amazing video. So happy to see the community working together.
Lore never ends.
I love your videos but this one…this one right here is done beautifully! The voice acting between the space marines and the way you capture the sense of feeling is outstanding. Bravo Sir and thank you!
Every time there’s a new video it’s a highlight. I also can’t belief that you just get better and better. Constantly amazing work man!
Damn... long time listener off multiple lore channels and you are an definitely an upcoming talent. Absolutely loved it! A completely fresh approach and your voice is great for this. Liked and subscribed i hope you will get famous fast.
ABORDER PRINCE! Nice to see him here!
I think this video is like my favorite comfort food.
Every time i want to listen to something, but i am can't choose what. This video is the first thing I think about.
So good!
"Never Forget,Never Forgive!!!"
Listening to this again. No criticism) but I much prefer your less strained and forced voice narration on this compared to the newer videos AmberKing. Worried that the latest narration can have problems for your voice somewhere down the line. Anyway, immense and amazing content. Vox+Amber relationship for life )
What an incredible listen. Sometimes I’m shocked that we get content on RUclips like this for free.
These hour snippets are better than the books. The guest narrations kill it.
It is your first video I listen to and… boy what a ride!!! If only yt had not spoilt it with intravideo ads… I would gladly let them run in the end !
Amazing! For Dorn and the Emperor ⚔️
God damn another home run video, your S Tier content feeds the soul my dude. I want to wish that you would get blown up like you deserve but, I immediately fear if that happens GW would kidnap you and throw you in warhammer+ stasis. Whelp regardless, great work man 10/10.
I personally think this video is one of the best you've made , or the one that grabs me the most, ( I'm not a movie expert either)
The emotion drama , music, naration etc is really good!
From the sigismund videos I've seen on youtube , this one (yours) is head and shoulders above the rest!
A masterpiece of a creation!
hats off!
regards
I dont know how many times i have watched this video. So good!!!
That was absolutely awesome can't give enough props
